2009, here i come!!!

HELLO!!! SOOOOOO LONG since i last appear here and im back after like 2 months ++. First time i didn't blog for so long but not to worry. I’m back here with a BANG!!

Let's see...what have i missed....hm....oh....let’s talk about my work....during oct-november was a crazy month for me at work. I was so busy rushing a few project and almost went 'kuku' but i managed to finish it mid November. Then very little project starts to come in because year 2008 is coming to an end. So i was like shaking leg in office most of the time. Got work but it's not a lot. I still can go lepak at colleague place keng kai for like few hours...lol.

During the Nov and December month i have a few invitations, one of them is my ex-colleague Patrick Law on November at Puchong and my old college class mate Bee Teng last week and this was held in Singapore. So consider me very very broke by the end of year 2008. Before Bee Teng's wedding, me and my other friends had an intention to go and celebrate Christmas in Singapore and we did actually! So since Bee Teng's wedding was on 27th Dec, might as well i go down to Singapore on the 24th Dec and lepak there until 28th Dec. So let me start off what exactly happened during my 24-28 Dec in Singapore

On the 24th, me WK drove down to JB together around 8am and reached around 12pm++ in JB. We stopped at my Aunt place for a while to pass some stuff and then we went off and had lunch in JB town and after that, off we went in to Singapore. We took a bus in Singapore from the new JB checkpoint and it wasn't that bad the jam. When we're in Singapore, we went to Cityhall to find Lenny. Actually my purpose of finding Lenny was to lend her EZ link card. Meet up with Lenny around 4pm at City hall and boy....it was getting crowded already around the City area. Guess everyone is getting ready to celebrate Xmas. Lenny finished work already 4pm because it's half day work for her company so she accompanied me and WK shopping. Everywhere was sales and the amount of people buying things was like....no need money. I manage to buy ESPRIT clothing in Singapore and it was quite cheap and i had a 10% off on all discounted items because i have the ESPRIT card. After shopping Lenny didn't join us for dinner as she want to go back and rest. So me and WK meet up with her friend at AMK and headed off to Orchard to have Japanese dinner. It was raining in Orchard but that didn't stop the crowd to increase. After Japanese food i meet up with my ol pal Weng Soon in Orchard and he had a crazy night there. We bought those spray cans and start to spray anyone we see on the street and i got myself wet too because of that. I had a funny moment when we played the spraying thing but i shall not go in detailed :P.  We was at orchard until 2am and headed off to bukit batok and slept over at Chrys friends house.

Then it was 25th and i went back to JB for a while to have Xmas lunch with my Aunt and took my ride in Singapore. I meet up with Bee teng, and she took me the place where i will stay in Singapore. It was a Bungalow and in front was a park and sea side. 25th i didn't really go anywhere and i was at the bungalow waiting for the rest of them to arrive. So this was what i did. I slept for a while woke up and found out my white car become black car already. So i decided to wash my car in SINGAPORE! HEHEHE, 1st time man i was my car in Singapore and you know in front of the bungalow is a park and a a lot people walk past the bungalow and looked at me washing my "sport" car and it's a Malaysian registered plate. I bet they are saying "what is this guy doing washing is car here? and i stare back at them and was trying to send them this msg "what! Never seen anyone wash a Malaysian car before in Singapore?". At night we had dinner in Tampanis and i meet up with Lenny again and we was supposed to buy food for our BBQ session but in the end we didn't due to the respond was really poor. So...WK luggage was with me and i have to send her back to her friend's place in Tampanis from Pasir Ris then i sent Lenny home and i was at home like 1130pm.

26th everyone have their own plan and we went separately. I was with WK and we went sightseeing around Cityhall's durian building and the Lion spitting water place. WK said the durian looked more like a cempedak....to me honest i think it looked more like a cempedak too but because Singaporean like Durian a lot and they cannot grow their own durian's so they decided to name it Durian. LOL...forget about the durian and cempedak stories i was telling earlier, i was just crapping. Went to Dolby Gought and stopped at the guitar shop where i bought my Taylor Guitar. Wanted to buy a guitar bag but it was sold out. Too bad...then we went off to Bugis to do more shopping. You know...Chrys said she wanted to join us for shopping on the 27th but in the end FFK us and this is not the 1st time! WK was alone shopping for her ladies clothing with no another lady companion.. After that we headed off to Vivo City and we're going to meet up with Lenny, Herlena, Weng soon, Stacie and Pui Yee. I recommended them to eat this place called "bosses" to me they have the best 'xiao long pao' and the dishes are good too. There was 7 of us and the billed came out to SGD152.05 and it's on me. They insisted we go dutch but refused and bought them dinner. Buying them dinner once in a while ok la...and after all they bought me dinner before too. There was this huge xmas tree on top of vivo city and we took pictures. We wanted to go Clarke Quay but it was really late already and if he go there drink for sure we will have to take a cab back. It was weng soon's initial last day in Singapore but since i drove in and still have 2 more space...they decided to follow me back on 28th dec so we can go clarke quay again for a drink this time.

27th was Bee Teng and Land King big day. I was with them early in the Morning until after the wedding lunch. We had great fun and took a lot of pictures. I would like to congratulate Bee Teng and Land King for tying the knot finally after so many year. May i wish the both you have a wonderful journey together. The wedding lunch was good but to me it's a bit too high class. It's like this...you wont be able to see the food on the table but they will serve you small individual plates and it's like they have calculated the amout of food for you. So everyone will have 2 vegs, 2 squids, 2 meats. Something like that. Might as well they just spoon feed us the food. I just need to open my mouth and let them put the food inside and chew. That's the feeling. I would like the traditional way of we take what we want. After the wedding i rushed off to Sentosa Island and meet up with WK, Vivian and LM. We only manage to ride on the LUGE. It's like a riding on a go cart just that it don’t have an engine and u are rolling down hill. It's damn fun!! The LUGE motto was "once is never enough" and boy it was so true. We wanted go on the ride again but it was late already and we have this "song of the sea" which Lenny highly recommended us which was about to start. And it was really nice....very creative this Singaporean. After song of the sea we headed back to vivo took a cab to Holland village to have this buffet steamboat. They have this 'xiao long pao' but it was not as good as bosses. Weng soon was at clarke quay and waiting for us but we it was really late already so we didn't meet them there. We did the craziest thing at holland village. We stand at the street and talk rubbish then sit down at the food court and started to play games and talk jokes. Then we went to a closed coffee bean shop, sit at the dark and talk ghost story until 6am!!!! Then we took the 1st bus back to the nearest MRT and went back to our home. I manage to sleep only 1 hour ++ before i got up, took a shower and checked out 10am. Fetched weng soon and stacie. Best thing was i need to drive back to KL on that day. I was really tired and i manage to drive back safely and my Singapore trip came to an end.

I would like to thank Peter, Shu Shan, Gretal and especially Lenny for spending time with me in Singapore for the past 3 months. Don't think i can see so much without you guys in Singapore. So thanks again, i really appreciate what you guys have done for me. Don’t think I will be in Singapore any time in a few years time. Will see how it goes
