NTU facilities

I have been in NTU sports recreational center's male toilet for the last 3 years plus and I have failed to notice this room at the corner. The sign hanging on the door caught my eye....

I have not make use of such a facility provided. I wonder what is behind that door.

It has to be in the male toilet eh....

My nieces


Danesia on a really old chair. A chair which my sister was sitting on when she is about that age and a chair which I was sitting on like her when I was about that age. It is like a custom to have this picture taken. Anastacia had hers taken already.


WHAT HAPPEN TO HER HAIR!? My bro-in-law decided he wanted to have a career switch. I think he should stick to teaching.

Ana is a sweetie, she said to me "Happy Bithday to you uncle!"

Andy's Wedding

Congratulations to Andy Lim and his wife.

I attended his wedding and of course set at the table filled with my police friends. It was great catching up especially since I did not meet a few of them for a long time. It was even better to manage to meet up with Bei Lim and Chih Yong, both went overseas to study for sometime. Bei Lim brought a whisky too. I really did not want to drink since the night before I was at Movida working my liver. But when you are with friends whom you have not met for a long time, NO is just not the answer.

A group of guys means food was not enough. We went to supper after that at the prata shop I use to frequent during NS days. My friends decided to go KTV after that. I just tagged along. KTV is not really my thing as I can't sing and I have a hard time reading the chinese words. 99% of the time I only realise I know the song after they start singing. I'm actually shocked I managed to sing a few songs.

And no....the KTV was not lup sup kind. No girls ard for us to fondle etc.

Movida

I went to St.James to celebrate an old friend's bithday (JZ) which so happens to fall on the same day as me. The party was held at Movida. The place places latin like music but the dance floor was not really big. My friend's uncle opened a Chivas DA PAO, and it cost abt $800. When you spent that much, all your friends get to come in without queuing and no cover charge too. YEAH!

I remembered celebrating my 21st bday at dblO and I met JZ there too. Both of us were still young and reckless. Both of us knocked out midway thru the nite.

Drinks were plenty, Graveyard, champagne, chivas neat, chivas on the rocks etc. Music rocks, my company was good and it was great to catch up with some other mutual friends. I really don't know how I ended up getting forced to drink and was also helping JZ drink his share. I was pretty high, so much for drinking ALITTLE.

As I stumbled home with my liver working overtime I was running the images of the night over my spinning head. Was it the booze taking over? Was the cold sweat just my body's way of telling me I had a tad too much or was I worried? Was I drinking so much recently all just an excuse?

Whatever....

Happy Birthday JZ. I'm amazed you did not knock out by the time I left, though I hrd you went down after that. The group manage to finish the DA PAO....AMAZED

Random Pictures of Similan Trip







Diver alert system

Why do you need a spoon? Pam took the spoon down to knock on her tank to grab out attention. Since she prefers diving higer than all of us, she can see the overall picture and tell us what is above us. The spoon is lucky, the first trip down with it and we saw the school of 10+ white tip sharks.

Now that is innovation for you.

Ex Hall Outing

Met my ex-hall friends. Among all of them, I'm the only one left in hall 15. Majority of the conversation was on diving as shorty is an avid diver who just got back from Simlians (22 dives on a luxurious boat) and already booked his trip to Sipadan. Sportswoman also just got back from Sipadan and already looking at Perherntian. Miss boo boo also wants to learn, but procrastinating abt it. QQ's not going anywhere near fishes unless its into her mouth, but she's cool cos she likes Chivas neat.

Sigh, I am stuck on land and can only dream abt my next trip.

Thanks for the tee. It rocks

Weirdest Question to ask

I have a friend who is working on her final year project and she is dealing with casual sex among our society. She asked if I know anyone that fit into that category. WHY ME? How do you ask your friends such a question?

Anyone wants to own up? No worries, identities remain a secret and I will not judge you over your sexual activities.

Doing the almost impossible

I reach back home and hit the bed at about 5am. That was after a long night of drinks (plenty) and dancing and supper.

I woke up at 7.30am and trudged to NUS to play tennis with my friends.

I went back to NTU and played softball at 2pm.


Can you do that?

Blast from the past

You know when you are getting old when you no longer worry about IC checks when you go clubbing. I have forgotten such things even exists for the longest time. That only means I am getting old and I probably look 5 additional years of my age.

Imagine my suprise when the bouncer at Dragonfly asked me for my IC. I was stunned for a moment before I pulled out my IC to let him have a look. I probably look young from the lack of light.

Anyway, I went to St.James Power station with my friends whom I have not met for 2 years. They are my clubbing friends from my National Serivce days. It was fun to catch up and great to check out the new club.

Getting to old for the all night long loud music, drinking and dancing. I need a break from such things for another 2 years.

Fishing at Bottle Tree

I went fishing with Gab at Bottle Tree Park. The picture below explains why it is named that.


Fishing is tiring. All you do is sit there and look at the red marker. Not too sure if you all can see it in the piture below. You can try clicking on it and zooming ard it.
The place is pretty interesting. There is a pump, small fishing pond for the kids, prawn fishing and a restaurant. But I find the price a bit steep. Unless you are a good fisherman, it will really be a waste of money.
I found my jelly ice cream. But I still prefer the one I had at Hongkong Disney.


And here is the fish that we did not catch. Someone gave it to us. We only had near catches. I think I will stick to tennis!

Sentosa

It has been a long time since I went to sentosa and have been wanting to make a trip there during the school holiday. My neighbour asked and I agreed to follow although I really did not want the sun.

We reached about 11am and stayed till about 1pm. I think it is the timing, cause the beach was male dominated. How sad is that? Where are the bikini babes running and playing with the water.



I sneaked a few picutres of the only babe I found on the beach.





We went to Vivo for lunch and I ate Superdog. It was definately better than the usual hotdogs I have eaten, but WAY WAY more expensive. We took a long bus ride back home after a short walk ard vivo cause my friend never go before (suaku). Actually did not really know how long the bus ride was cause I was asleep.

Can someone tell me what time the babes go to sentosa?

Pu Tien

I had dinner with my family at Pu Tien last weekend. It has been a long time since I last went. As I walked down the familiar street from the MRT station, I realised they opened a seafood branch too. Actually I thought they shifted and upgraded as the place looks like a restuarant in Town.

I arrived and was AMAZED by the crowd. I know it was crowded last time, but the crowd was insane when I arrived. There were probably 4-5 groups waiting for seats. I was also shocked that they have renovated, the place looks highend. Alittle pretentious for my liking. I was a little worried the food standard will drop, but my worries were quashed when I tasted my favourite tofu. The other dishes were still as good as ever.

I still like this place, but it has gotten too crowded. Makes walking in for a meal more difficult.

Where it all happens


Went dinner with some JC friends whom I have not met for a few months. We then proceeded for drinks at Starbucks. With coffee places so abundance, catching up with friends is a simple affair. Over a cup of latte, we chat, laughed, joked, crapped and talked about the future.

How I wish life was that simple - everything done over a cup of coffee.

Annual

I have a friend (Pee brain) whom I meet up annually for dinner. We were wondering why we only meet up once a year untill I pass an innocent remark.

Pee brain (PB): Now I know why I meet you once a year. (She thought my comment was sacarstic)

Me: *Innocent look*



Here is one Pee Brain that is very troublesome. Her fringe cannot fall when the picture is taken, which also meant we had to take tons before she is satisfied.

The last time time we met for dinner, she told me "Anything also can". I found out she does not eat this and that and many more this and that. That part of "Anything also can" is that? Now I just let her choose where she wants to eat.

Water Pressure

I love to bath. I love the clean feeling I get after I shower. The process is equally important. I enjoy the feeling of the water hitting onto my back. But recently, bathing is getting really painful. My hall toilet's water pressure has dropped exponentially. It takes ages to bath now. The water dribbles out even when I turn it up fully. Even the flush system no longer works effectively.

Damn u, give me back my water pressure
