Free gym (continue)

I dun think it will be any surprise that we din ended up going to the free gym trial today. I called my bud to ask if he still wants to meet later at the appointed time. He brushed me off rather rudely that he cant be bothered.

I guess my fren would only come if the trainer aint a bald headed man but a sexy long hair babe.

I gave up.

Free gym

Was out with a school buddy of mine who happens to be clearing his leave too. As we scroll aimlessly thru orchard rd, a pretty little girl (as my fren had put it) approached us and offered a free 7 day trial at california gym with no strings attached. We were bored and since my fren is rather interested in getting to know her, we went in.

There as she pointed a table for us to get sitted, I was elbowed by him. He whispered once more that she was cute. I din pay much attention to her as I was more fascinated by Jackie Chan showing off his muscles.

Anyhow, she introduced us to Jason who talked and guided us for the remaining of the tour. I can see my bud was truly disappointed at that moment. We then proceed on a short tour of the giant facility starting from the 3rd floor. As we step out of the lift, I saw an attractive girl among men whom have bicep the size of my legs. Immediately, I was elbowed again by him to indicate that he spotted another girl. I sweared I must get one of those body armour.

The tour was quite interesting to me, with a particular boxing like aerobic session caught my eyes. I could say that that would have been fun. Jason soon brought us back to the tables and asked for our particulars once more. There wasnt anyone else to look at and I could tell that my bud was fustracted and wanted to leave. tsk tsk.

After some hard selling, we were given an additional 7 days. Making 14 days of free trial. A bald headed ang moh then step into to arrange to meet us tml to determine a good training program for us. Since he aint a she, my fren began playing with his phone and hope it ends sooner. At this point I could tell that he just want to grab his membership card and leave. sighs.

I ended up doing the rest of the talking and thank them for their time. As we left, I hinted to my bud that the earlier girl was standing at the corner. Immediately he liven up again and talked to her.

He scares me.

Now I wonder what would happen at the gym session tml.

Dating for tall guys only

My fren Jeff send me this link.

Apparently the dating event is for tall guys only. Anyone less than 1.75 wont be allowed in. I wonder if they would set up a length rule there to screen out fakes??

Solar power handbag

The bag looks pretty ugly to me. Even the solar cells on its side appears funny. However it opens up to reveal a nice lighted interior.

It doesnt quite work for me, but I wonder if the ladies would find this attractive. Any comments?

want a cheap suv from china?

The first Chinese car to be sold in Europe has scored zero — the worst-ever score — in safety tests.

Testers calculated that a driver would be unlikely to survive a head-on collision at 40mph, and in a side-on collision at 30mph the driver would suffer severe head and chest injuries due to a lack of side protection.

Snail crossing

I am not too sure you are able to see this clearly. Might have to click on the pic to enlarge.

Kinda makes you want a bite of an escargo now dun you?

Broken Shelves

They kinda look funny when empty, but when the shelves are filled it looks good.

real doll?

Ask Davecat about Sidore -- pronounced She-doh-ray -- and he'll tell you she's everything that turns him on: beautiful, loyal, a great listener. Si-chan, as he affectionately calls her, is half British, half Japanese, which is nice because he's always had a thing for both British and Japanese culture. Even their clothing style and taste in music is simpatico -- they're both Goths.

Like many born in the sun sign Cancer, Sidore is a homebody, but then, she couldn't leave the comfort of the bed she shares with Davecat even if she wanted to because Sidore is a 100-pound solid silicone Real Doll.

Amusing read. quite pathetic though.

Armadillo Bread Bin

Do you believe this stores bread?

Kawaii Japanese Bento

These are real sweet. But I suppose they are meant for kids only.

Govt letter

After happily receiving my little pinky yesterday, I din quite know what to expect when I gotten a letter which comes in a govt envelop.

My mind spins back and ponder on my last 10 weeks of NS while I opened the envelop (with my trusty letter opener from SA scouts).

Did I awol without even realising?
Did I let slip on some govt info?
Did the girl I hit on last last year has a father who happens to be an MP?
Or could it be the times I was caught speeding down the highway on vern's car.

I panic and sweat rolls down.

Well... No.
SDU is just giving me a complimentry membership for 2 yrs.

Old photos

*Waves to Weiling, Shuping, Stephanie*

Inky spotted them in among an old photo album last sat. I din realised they were there all along.

What an antique photo

funky ads

I wonder if a myopia jumper would see this




PSP runs windows

I got my pinky today

I finally collected my pink ic for good. My precious.... ORD LOH! Free at last.

Goodbye to my NS career and hello to my new job next week.
I have 1 week to enjoy myself till then.

Dinner at my place

After last week wedding, I offered the guys a dinner party at my place. This offer actually goes out to the bridemaids as well, but I din have the capacity to cook for that many. So perhaps next time. Of course, we would have invited the bride and groom but both of them are at their honeymoon.

I started cooking at 4pm. I had tot its would not take that long to cook for 4 more. After all, I have been cooking for myself the whole week already. However, as the portion of the dishes grew fivefold, I have to concentrate each of them at a time.

So I went about and cut, chop, slice, dice, mince and wash every ingredient first. My fingers gotten quite dirty at every instance and boy was the onion a bitch to cut. Note to self: Wearing Sunny while cutting onion wont work cos the fumes are the ones that hurt.

The Japanese curry was my first dish which I took the most time getting it perfect. Its turns out to be the best dish for the night. I used beef this time with carrot, potatoes and corn. Yum



The burgers I tried after that din turn out too well. I should not have left the kitchen to water the plants while cooking. 3 patties were slightly burnt. sighs.



The rosti should have been the easiest to cook. I have made 1 attempt the day before which turns out rather well. However, when I removed the sliced chips from the fridge 2 hours later, they appeared pinkish. I was tempted to throw them all away but decided to fry them anyway. Surprisingly it tasted fine



I did a couple of pratas after them. 2 each for everyone. Yups you are probably thinking, Jap Curry and prata wont go together. Well actually you be surprised.



I had some leftover carrots and decided to try something fun. I boiled them slightly and threw them into the pan with little oil. Its nicer that I had intended.



Time flies when I cooked. My mini cooking adventure took a whole 3 hours to accomplise. All hot and sweaty I went to take a much deserve bath. It din take long for the hungry groupies to arrive.

This is my first cooking test and I dearly wanted my sasa to join me. Alas she aint around at the moment. Well at least I could take this opportunity to test myself.



Dinner was served and its quite delightful to eat with someone for a change. Days of eating alone is all gone now. In less than an hour, the plates were emptied and our stomach expanded sideways once more. (except for andrea and mike of course)



Ian volunteer to do the dishes. He was quite good. A definate good househusband or maid depending on circumstances.



We then retreated to stare at the tv for the next few hours. Its liverpool playing after all. Just then, mike pointed out that he saw a previous entry on my blog that claims all SA boys have the old SGD$1 note. He took out his and we knew immediately this is a kodak moment.



A true SA boy tradition after all.



Oh almost forgot, we went over to my room to watch standup comedy by Russel Peters. His racial jokes are hillarious. The clock strikes 12 and Cinderalle left but we went on the eat some more. Ian and Andrea spend hours in the kitchen .



Oh and here are some other random photos.

The dinner

The small house party was not too bad. My cooking was below my expectation but the nice company of friends were nice to say that its was quite good. I am glad to have my friends come over, every now and then. Wish my kanojyo was here too.

Anyhow, tired now. More cleaning up tomorrow. Have to sleep. Will said more of this once NDR pass me the pics.

new comics

Well did nothing much today.

I did managed to sign 99% of my clearance form and cook my own dinner.

Surprisingly my fried rice turns out ok. Guess I need more practice to get the flavor and smell right. But I am close.

Oh for those who din know, I have been dominating the kitchen since my family left for an overseas trip. I am the king of the kitchen now. Will be wiping up some nice stuffs for my friends who are my experiment for dinner. I hope they have strong stomach like myself.

One more thing, 2 new comics added to the side bar. I got the ever typical bum zits and the good old blondie. These 2 lovely comics only appear on sundays plus. So catch them daily now.

No more Coffee (for a while)

I went to donate blood on sunday and was rejected as my HB count is low.

For those who dun know, HB count measures how much iron is there in my blood. Anyway, I tried to donate again on wed, but once again the count was low. I am broken.

The nice doc and nurse asked me if I am on a diet.... which makes me wonder do I look slimmer now. I said no, so they asked if I have pulse bleeding... which is again a straight no. They almost asked if its my period now, for that would make sense too.

Alas its found that my iron count is due to my heavy caffeine intake. 3-4 cups a day is way too much. Sighs. Have to wait a week or more to get it out of my system. In the meantime, its cranky me as I have no coffee in my blood now.

Covini 6 wheeled

I am lost for words for this car. And it aint photoshop.

My job status

I just came back from another job interview. This time they gave me a tour of their department along with a long introduction of their project which they might want me to work on.

Its likely that I will get an offer for this job as well.

Well here is the stats

1. 25 online applications sent
   
2. 2 rejection letters received
   
3. 3 interviews
   
4. 3 job offers
   
5. 1 contract signed
   

What I learned is that I gave one hell of an interview to get all 3 job offers from them.

I only sux at writting my resume. sighs.

History of Wallace and Gromit burned down

Apparently a fire broke out at the production house which has the original films of the stop-motion clay figures of Wallace and Gromit.

All are gone now.

Bong Vodka

Its amusing how much the design of the bottle interest me that I wonder what would the vodka taste like...

Good product design I must say

We have something in common

Had dinner with a couple of friends last friday.

Strangely we were all from the same sec school.

strangely we all knew NDR



and strangely we all kept the old bird designed $1 bill in our waller.

Archimedes Death Ray

Ancient Greek and Roman historians recorded that during the siege of Syracuse in 212 BC, Archimedes (a notably smart person) constructed a burning glass to set the Roman warships, anchored within bow and arrow range, afire. The story has been much debated and oft dismissed as myth.

TV's MythBusters were not able to replicate the feat and “busted” the myth.

Wedding party for eejean and vernon

Its to be one long day on the 8 oct. For its my good friend eejean's wedding to her sweetie vernon. I cant be more happy for her for she found someone she loves and loves her back just as much. However, it was to be a long day for her friends who pitch in to help her out for the whole day.



Kopiwriter (aka Inky) and I found part of the guys gang to gate crash the wedding. Vernon failed at the first task of writting eejean name in chinese. I dun blame him, none of us could even read chinese characters. Anyhow, I volunteer to be the first victim of the forfeit designed by her lovely and beautiful bridemaids. (Ling, Shuping, Weiling and Stephanie I will remember you guys for life now) I applied mascara to my eyelashes and never felt prettier.



Gatecrashing cost vern quite a sum, though he teased that he actually expected more. He was glad that ever so loving girls, only get less than 20% of what he can offer. phew!

Soon after picking up the bride, vern drag eejean by her hair and chunking her into car and sped off to his home. Inky and I hop into the nissan sunny and follow suite along with daniel following behind with the bridemaids at the last car giving chase and shouting "return our leader, we cant live without her."

After arriving at vern's place, they quickly released their secret weapon.



Thats Muffin! Vern and jean protector! Beware for he is cute. and we know the girls cant resist him.

The tea ceremony went by rather quick and seeing the dark clouds forming, we know we have to leave soon. I gotten the honour to drive the Lexus back to eejean place. and boy was that the high point of my day. It was pouring like crazy. One of those heavy rainy times when you know that if you drive a dirty car it will arrive at your destination sparkling clean. I was surprised that the flower decoration survived the trip. was quite thankful that its plastic flowers, the whipper combined with the rain ruined it quite badly that the lefty exterior were peeling off.

Anyhow, we held the second tea ceremony there at proceed for lunch and some red wines. Ahh lovely France wines. Just so enchanting.

Inky and I proceed to Inky's place after lunch. We needed to sleep a little. But we realised time and time again that we simply cant sleep together. sighs. I get to fool around with his new Furby for a while and he finds me disturbing. He insist Furby only knows English and Furblish and not Japanese. I told him I could reprogammed Furby to do just that (and perharps more).

When NDR arrived later, we knew we were already late and rushed down to the hotel. Unfortunately Inky, left our angpow behind and we ended up running back to get it. I swear I was not speeding.... for we did arrived at the hotel within 25 mins.



Its already 5 and solomise ceremony will be about 6.30pm. Thus we set out to our separate tasks ordered from her highness jean and queen bee Ling. Crowds started arriving soon after the ceremony and we were swarmed with lots of details. However I am glad to say we pull off quite a good show.



Many were impressed by the animation clip which Aung produced. But the biggest laughter goes to jean baby pic of her dad holding her down while she struggles to crawl free.



The major task left was the 50+++ photo taking at each table. A very scary task indeed. An hour went by and we din even knew it. Soon the dinner came to an end with guests wanting to make a quick exit to return home to catch the soccer game. A few of us remain and went up to their hotel suite to check out an amazing weighting machine. Sad to say, not all of us were exited by its reading. Vern brought out a champane and we cheers to a great day.

To Vern and Eejean, Have a great future ahead.

Fighting bird flu

From what I understand about the theory of evolution, is that the strongest will survive. And germs like us, are growing stronger each day thanks to our stronger antibotics. They have a strong will to evolve in order to kill the next man, mammals or beasts.

So what I cant understand is that how could culling hundreds of birds prevent the spread of the bird flu. If the stronger birds do not survive to pass on their better genetic material to the next generation, how could they survive as a species.

Imagine in a chicken farm, the evil bad-ass flu sneaks in and attack a couple of birds. A couple of them survive the virus and live on. However as a safety measure, the farmer kills all the birds. Thereby stopping the virus and also the possible naturally immune cure.

Sighs... I guess in the next few generations, our great great grandchildren will have to take mulitple jabs of injections to protect them. They wont be safe within 1 hr of breathing the earth air.

would you do the survey for this?

I gotten an email to help my school out in filling out a career survey online.

Normally if I am bored enough and nothing better to do, I would happily obligned without the need of pressure (from threatening emails) or freebies (prize for few lucky ones)

Well somehow they offered 2 mp3 players to those whom are selected. Here is what they looked like.






Admit it, its one ugly thing to give away aint it. Probably why they wanted to get rid of it in the first place.

I wonder why no iPod or even the locally popular creative zen ???

Ok i should not be mean. Its probably hard to get sponsors after all. But hey if you cant find good prizes, its best not to give 2nd rated ones.

Batman singing dolphins

I seem to have too many animal news lately.

Anyway, scientist have taught dolphins to sing the tune of batman.

which i wonder why are the smartest minds doing this for????

Gator vs Python

Well no winner. Its a draw this time with both dying from eating and being eaten.

Cool story though

Nike lens

I saw this earlier on some football magazine on tv. Was surprised to see the Goalkeeper with Yellowish-red eyes. Its suppose to make catching the ball easier...

Apparently its also meant to scare your opponent.

Old song

Ya... I was born to love you
Every single beat of my heart
Ya... I was born to take care of you
Every single day of my life


Wish you are still around Freddy. Rock has never need you more.

Beard competition

I thought my kanojyo would take one look of this, laughed and immediately think of her uncle.

What to name your newborn son?

Its has been always a taunting task to think of a great name for your newborn son.

Often you want to avoid the common names, such as John, David or Beckham.

Yet at the same time you want to avoid giving your son a strange name.

So why not gave your son a name of the strongest man ever.

Nicholas cage did.

His boy is known as Kal-el Coppola Cage

Lighted slippers

Find it hard to walk around in the dark without disturbing your partner?

How about giving a pair to your little ones to help them find their way to the bathrooms at night?

Would be cool to sneak around in the dark for a night snack too.

Comics hit me one more time

Netscape on Compaq comps

In a move that harks back to the browser wars, Hewlett-Packard plans to ship Netscape's Web browser on new consumer PCs and notebooks starting early next year.

The agreement, announced Monday, is the first browser distribution deal with a major PC maker since the end of the browser wars in the 1990s, according to Netscape, a division of Time Warner's America Online subsidiary. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The company in May released Netscape 8, a browser with features to protect users against online scams.....

Mirrormask

The visual from the trailer alone blows me away.

And its a jim henson production.

I am so going to catch this movie

Titanic remix

I always thought that the movie Titanic was the greatest Comedy of that year.

It made me laughed so hard, that my ex had to keep pinching me to keep my voice down.

And till now, I wonder how it could miss being nominated for Best Comedy at that Oscars. Ah well... That is till I saw this new trailer for it.
Now I am no longer laughing.

Here is another remix for Shining and West Side Story

No more bombing

Please STOP ALL THE BOMBINGS.

Enough is enough. I am tired and sick of all the media attention this bunch of asshole wants.

Would hope they all drown to death.

Moving house

I helped one of my great frens which i sometime affectionately called him, "bro" to move his things to a new place. This is the second time I am helping him. The last time, we helped his kanojyo to shift as well. On both occasions, I was dead tired. The strange thing was that at the peak of my tiredness, I sometime goes crazy and found new strength to carry on my job. Kinda like a hidden hyper mode.

Anyhow, I quite like his new place and was amused that there is a secret hidden level to a small room without any windows. I was up there for a while and gotten a little creep out by the enclosed environment which makes my ears ring. Anyhow, I wonder what could be best of use the space.

oh well, i will never know.

Robosapien Jr

I am not too sure woo wee, the makers of the original robosapien created this version.

All I do know is that Mark Tilden who designed the original, was the one who inspired my FYP last year.

Sigh... I miss those days in my lab

Black toilet paper

I have no idea why they introduced a black toilet paper.

Perhaps my advertising frens could think of something

Dont Runaway

There has been way too many cases of kids running away from home these past few weeks.

Am I am thinking... Are they nuts?
If they were my kids, I will give them a good spanking or 2.
Ya ya, they may runaway again after that.
but they totally deserved it.

Since the Huang Na case, all parents are now paranoid
that their kid has been kidnapped, possibly raped
then murdered, chopped up into small chunks
and made into wonderful fish curry.

All that in the kid's mind is that,
I kanna scolding, I not happy
see if I runaway and scare you abit.

Brats!
All bunch of Brats.
So freaking spoil that you must make your parents
give you to your whinning and never ending demands right?
I do hope they have awful kids someday to make them regret.
Which comes to mind, that this could have been the parent just dessert
for being an awful kid themselves.

of course we never know for sure.
