Portugal Won, Portugal Won!! WOOHOO.. haha.. this was the first match that i've watched them play in the world cup.. they won 2-1 against mexico which was also a very good team.. however, they are without 5 of their first team regulars and with this kind of result, it shows that they're good!
well, it was an exciting match keeping me and my mom on our toes.. i told my mom to bet on portugal, ya see.. and everytime mexico attacked and they were on the edge of scoring, my mom would give out a shriek.. now that's scary.. the neighbours must be wondering which madwoman did that.. haha.. almost used masking tape on her mouth anyway..
other than that, another thingy was that portugal also quite lucky la.. because mexico missed a penalty.. now i knew what that 5 dices on the crest of the flag meant.. lucky, lucky, ya're so lucky.. haha..
well, that was yesterday's story.. went to prepare my stuff for my upcoming chalet.. made my specs.. look kinda like those toot toot kinda specs but it still looks okay on me though.. almost bought everything i needed.. what remains is the packing..
went to watch cars today.. it was unexpectedly a very inspiring, amusing and cool movie.. depicts cars equivalent to human beings.. this showalso talks about life too and i am sure we can all relate to it in our lives.. shown how that lightning mcqueen car voiced by owen wilson becoming the real champion not by winning but by having the spirit of goodwill and honour.. moreover you'll get to see my name inside.. RS.. Radiator Springs.. HAHA.. all should catch this one here.. no wonder it was the first on the singapore and US charts the previous week..
went to print my portuguese jersey!!! yea.. it finally came after they were through to the next round.. after weeks of long wait, it's finally here!! yay!! it was cheaper than expected.. the uncle gave me a 5$ discount on the 30 buck price tag.. how nice..
bought dinner for my siblings as they were very hungry and wanted some fast food so i bought them some lumps of long john silver's.. you guys should see the speed they were at when feasting on the fast food in comparison to the nicer food mom prepares.. kids will always be kids.. =p
found the all american rejects move along cd and bought it at a bargain at 15.95$.. wow.. that's really cheaper than most other places..
last but not least, happy 18th birthday to jenyin!! hope you liked the movie and the pressie.. =) other than that i feel that being 18 is no easy task.. ya know like what spiderman said.. great power comes great responsibility.. more decisions making by self, more responsibilities, etc.. come to speak of that, i kinda miss being 18..
i was too tired to blog yesterday so i waited til all the pics and videos were in before starting.. all i can say is that i am just glad that it all fell into place very well.. i think this time i was the one who sorta like organised everything and got everyone to do what was required.. it was a decent effort for a first time la.. though i was not the one who booked the place but i tried my best..
on the first day on thurs, met up with a few guys first to get the food.. although only had a budget of 91 bucks, i managed to keep everything near to the budget.. i only exceeded by a bit.. 6$ only.. haha.. but i know it will still exceed a bit because more food was to be bought for those staying for the full days..
went to check in during the afternoon and cleared the place.. no cooking because most people had something on, some had graduation, and etc.. slacked and ate dinner and waited for all to come.. crapped and watched soccer on tv.. then every1 just knocked out..
on the 2nd day, i prepared breakfast for everyone with the help of jianming and other guys..

p.s: (the breakfast was similar everyday.. it's like eggs, ham, french toast, nutella and kaya sauce.. the only difference is that you can change the way you want your eggs to be.. scrambled, sunny side up or what.. we even have egg mayonaise prepared by me and the other guys.. lolx..) after that went to play a game prepared by me.. the squatting game you see from guessx3 the last time.. you paste a name on you and you gotta bomb others while doing the squatting and also the action that your name depicts.

i'm spidey..

while jiaming is mr michael jackson.. HAHA.. of course there were forfeits.. here are some of the pics..


make up and toe nail paint for jiayang.. HAHA.. there was also applying of counter pain and sing and dance for all of us by yihang.. actually they have the video but don't want to embarass him.. by the way, whoever wants to watch it please ask from me because it's just so dam funny.. haha..
after that went to cook lunch.. was supposed to eat out for lunch and cook dinner.. but there was the rain so it was kinda troublesome for us to walk there without umbrellas so we decided to push the dinner forward to lunch..



here are some of the ingredients to make the pasta.. not enough pots so we used the water boiler to cook sausages.. LOL..
and here comes our final product.. tadah..


the whole cooking crew.. haha..
after that, everyone went to relax and rest and we went to play basketball for a while.. it was quite fun to do some exercise.. bought some famous nasi lemak from changi village to eat for dinner.. were supposed to play some drinking game but in the end everyone went to bed due to staying awake yesterday.. in the end just slept through the day..
prepared the similar breakfast and fry some bee hoon for lunch.. it tastes alright.. it looks kinda normal so no pics were taken.. the ingredients used were like those used in the pasta.. haha.. after that went to see some performances at singapore soka association.. the performances were alright.. i liked the nyp dance best.. cool, sleek and very nice.. the dance moves were very sharp and the ladies were very sexy.. the guys did well too.. i can't really dance well so it was an enjoyment to watch people dance that well..
after that, the girls bade us goodbye as they had something on the next day.. went back to play circle of death and it was really fun.. some got drunk, others fought and sang while i fell asleep while they changed the game to zhong ji mi ma because i found the fighting a bit boring.. by the way the fighting scenes vids were recorded.. they are quite funny.. you can watch the first 10 clips here..
http://www.youtube.com/results?search=fluctuator&search_type=search_videoswoke up late on the last day.. ate breakfast and played risk.. finally learnt something new.. risk is really a fun game.. it's about conquering the world while battling with your soldiers using dices.. of course, strategy and mind games are needed to win the game.. and that's what i liked about it..
it was kinda a long game you see so we skipped lunch and went to find our chicken to cook the chicken stew that i wanted to prepare.. fortunately, there's still some stalls selling chicken.. all the guys helped in the cooking this time round and we ate pasta again but this time, we didn't use the prego pasta sauce.. we made our own using mashed tomatoes, muchroom, tomato ketchup, herbs and spices.. lolx.. we din't want to waste the pasta and spend so much on the expensive prego again so we tried making our own.. surprisingly, it tasted better than the prego one.. lolx.. after enjoying dinner, we went to wash up and the pipe kinda got jammed and we could see, carrots, mushrooms, oil, pasta, garlic, onion swimming on the kitchen floor.. eekks.. *yuck* but fortunately, due to the expertise of two plumbers, jianming and gab, the prob was solved almost instantly.. HAHA.
here are some pics of the food prepared by us..

the pasta for dinner..

i know the chicken stew looks kinda oily.. i forgot to take out the chicken skin.. but it would be more flavourful with the skin this way.. haha..
well, then the end of the chalet.. though we only did simple things such as watching tv, cooking together, eating together, chit chatting with each other and no barbecue.. i am pretty sure everyone enjoyed the chalet..
some other pics to show..





end of chalet meant start of another phase of my life.. army life.. 17 days left on the main island.. it's my pleasure cooking for everyone one last time before i go tekong.. i just love to see people enjoy the food prepared by me with my heart.. that's one thing that i could never exchange for any other thing else in the world.. take care in the meantime, all my loves.. shall meet up with everyone soon..

back!! in the meantime, belated fathers' day to all dads out there..
Thursday, June 15, 2006
went out for the past few days.. on monday i went to meet matt to buy jj's pressie.. actually bought a shirt for him but he thought it was kinda small so we changed it for him.. unfortunately, no xl.. only left l n xxl so gotta choose another design lo.. he chose another captain america shirt though i still feel a bit wasted for him because the first shirt was really very nice.. the pic shows a skater boy with a skateboard with a cast on the other hand.. =/
after that went for my all time favourite acupuncture.. well, it's not quite my favourite now.. lolx.. the ordeal was kinda painful than the other time.. i told the doc about my right foot being painful after running or walking too much.. he then told me the problem lies with the lower back and it's causing the pain.. time to pierce the back again!!
this time was the same as last time.. needles that are 2 to 3 inches long.. driving through my flesh and onto my bone.. i could feel the needles going through the layers of skin and flesh with resistance.. however the only difference is that this time only 20 over needles were used instead of 30 over needles used the other time.. and definitely, it hurts much more than the other time.. i didn't scream at all.. it was kinda shiok but painful.. lolx.. i asked the doc why is this time more painful than the last time.. he replied by saying he never use antiseptic.. because that time i endured the 30 over needles without problem so this time should be ok.. i was like ...
the whole thing ended in less than 20 minutes' time.. dark coloured blood flowed and my back felt like it was just hit by a spanner and my legs were kinda jelly and i just walked like a chicken but after a short while, everything went back to normal and i don't feel pain in my foot anymore.. now only left the acupuncture sore to not be so sore before i'm okay.. haha.. the doc said no more coffee and carrying of heavy stuff for me.. no more coffee bean, starbucks and kopi.. =(
happy belated birthday to jj.. haha.. went to celebrate jj's birthday on tuesday by eating dinner.. went to crystal jade to eat the la-mian and xiao long baos.. yummy.. matt found a glass crystal in his fried rice and the person changed it into a bigger portion afterwards to sorta like apologise.. i told matt it's normal to have glass crystal in the food here because the restaurant name is crystal jade ma.. =p
after that went to eat dessert at the marina japanese ice cream place.. very cool place with nice dessert.. this is what i ate.. ice cream with red bean and dumplings.. when i ate it, i was like.. OMG.. red bean!! they all call me ampan man after that.. the red bean bread man from some jap cartoon.. but it's really nice.. gotta bring some pals there to eat again some time.. yum.. yum..
red bean ice cream.. =)
met up with jianming yesterday to go to BBDC.. he went there to take his basic theory while i went there to top up $ for my driving test in september.. well, he failed again.. but never mind.. can try again.. you're not a failure when you try again.. we are all sure you can do it the next time..
went to change his pay from our previous working company.. they spelt his name wrongly.. jianming become jiaming.. in the end cannot bank in cheque.. haha.. on the way there we saw a china guy singing some wayang or beijing opera loudly on the street.. we were like.. what the hell, creating so much noise pollution.. we felt like beating the shit outta him.. haha.. but we thought about the good karma we should earn and reducing the bad ones to get a plus instead of a minus so we just walked off..
jianming said he had a bad week.. i told him to think positive.. scalded 3 times.. failed basic theory.. i told him to do good things and good things will happen.. he reduced on the number of vulgarities and reflect.. good things happen!! haha.. see what i mean..
what good things happened? he managed to get a last piece of brazil jersey with the no. 8 and name kaka'.. lucky, lucky.. haha.. i also got mine.. portuguese jersey.. finally got it after a long anticipated wait.. the numbers are not here yet by the way.. dammit.. the peeps that sold the jersey told me that fifa banned the old font for the jersey so must change thus causing the delay.. the old font was nicer from the way i see it.. the jersey came with a special box casing with pics and stuffs inside.. dam nice.. like wedding photos liddat.. HAHA.. here are some pics:

the cover of the packaging..

one of the pics inside the box..

another pic that shows figo!!

my jersey!!! haha..=)
some other portugal pics that i've taken and made for the past few days..

some other pics taken while waiting for jianming's jersey to be done.. lego stadium!! dam nice..

after that went for the meeting for our upcoming chalet.. planned for the food and the games. hope they would be appreciated by my pals.. so glad everything's okay and everything's the way it is now.. what did i tell ya?? doing good things will end up getting good things in return.. by the way, i'm off to chalet, whoever's interested to come for the chalet or misses me or needs my help or advice can get to me by my handphone.. lolx.. take care everyone.. i'll be back very soon next week.. =)

sometimes it's really hard.. really hard to make sure things work for the better.. but most of the time, it doesn't quite work our way.. disagreements are part of communication.. i wonder if it can be solved?? how i wished things were back to where they were before..
Saturday, June 10, 2006
alright.. the world cup is finally here and here to stay.. well, at least for a month.. the start of world cup meant something else.. i've got about 26 days or less and counting left on the main island.. went to find that jersey of mine again last thurs.. but it's still not here yet.. world cup come le but the jersey not yet come?? i was a bit sianz 1/2 when i go down and the person told me that.. now i'm wondering if the jerseys with numbers are still coming or what..
i've already watched 3 matches and all i can say is that england and germany played like shit though they emerge winners.. 1 can't defend properly after change of tactics.. the other only score 1 and sit back to relax.. kinda boring la.. Holland was slightly better.. with all those bursting runs from arjen robben.. i believe that there's still room for improvement though.. where's the JoGa BoniTo? I'm still looking forward to seeing brazil and other south american teams play.. haha.. other than that, dad's kopitiam is almost full house due to the little tv he put up for the world cup matches.. i bet he's smilin til his teeth drop with all that good business..
went to do some shopping on fri and i bought a new pair of berms and my very first long sleeved shirt for casual purposes.. went to play lan a while before heading down to hollanv v for chillin session.. ate, chatted and slacked at breekos before heading to tcc to chill.. the environment there was more tranquil and peaceful.. haha..
made some cakes for everyone.. glad to see that everybody liked it because it's really nice to see people appreciate the stuff you made with your heart.. and even more glad to see people giving their utmost honest comments about it.. regarless if it's the good or bad.. i don't mind.. haha..
glad to see every1 being fine and so happy.. well, in order to prove that, i gonna post some pics as the pics indeed speak a thousand words.. lolx..

eat, eat..

the 3 not so beach boys that day.. lolx..

the boys: jackson, ah boy, me n jianming..

Every1 again!

the biggest bag, second biggest and third
biggest.. lolx..

the pole people.. haha..

well, the end.. lolx..
went to jianming's house to watch the world cup opening match.. his house is nice la.. about same like mine but bigger.. and he's got all the toys that i also got when i was a kid.. a lot of similarities there.. haha..
How i wish i could make my remaining days on the main island a little bit more beautiful.. other than that, i also hope that i could have a thingy from all my loves that would let me be reminded of them when i'm not around them..
You're Beautiful, It's True
Just Like the Northern Lights in the North Pole..
