I am emotionless and numb when it comes to work during the holiday. Too used to it by now. On my way to my vessel, I saw this!

(Third of the left)

Unable to identity it? How about the next picture?



Please.......lah. Still cannot?
Okie......NEXT!

(Shiok, right?)

Yup, it a submarine from Singapore navy. I know this thing is not new but it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it face to face.

More pictures





I reckoned when she past by me, I think it was about 30 meters away only. Cool......

Reached home took a nap and woke up just in time to watch National parade. On tv and I saw this Kermit........I mean Gurmit Singh and Sharon Au. They are shouting..........I repeat, SHOUTING instead talking on the microphone. I couldn't hear what they were saying esp Sharon Au. Her English was broken, her pronunciation is like rapping.

Mediacorp do not have better option than her?

She tied her hair in pigtails acting cute like little girl. Oh my God, I feel like puking once again. (I vomit earlier when I saw her on TV). How old is she now? Not only that, she was jumping, hopping like a silly toad.

Really, Sharon Au is......si bei Au.

Then this Kermit Gurmit keeping saying things like, “Everybody scream”. If you watch international event like the Sydney Olympic have you ever hear the MC asking the audiences to scream? No sirs! He thinks he is still in the tea dance disco or some idol concert, probably. This is freaking parade!

If not, he asked the audiences, “Are you rocking”. I looked at the crowd consists of toddlers, housewives and grandparents and he asking them to rock? Rock what?

Children rock the rocking chair, housewives rock their wok and grandma rock their walking stick? Nanbei!

Ah yes, his fave phases, screaming top of his lung “Let me hear some noisessss” Then this Sharon would twist her head in every direction, like the parrot, screaming like she's being tortured by a loan shark. This alone almost made me smash my tv set.

“Everybody scream”, “Are you rocking”,“Let me hear some noise” was repeated over and over again. It's shows that our 2 MC are incompetent, perhaps does not know any better other than to cater to the needs of the spectators.

When the parade started, lucky for everybody, both of them disappeared.
.

Bear needs my help re-installing XP on his pc. So met up with him after his work at 6:00pm.

Social time at 6:00pm,
Dinner at 6:15pm and followed by
My lecture at 6:30pm.

You see, it all because of Bear's hair.



So what the freaking problem with hair, you might add?

Well, if you watch Internal Affair, the Hong Kong movie, Andy Lau act as Lau Kin Ming, he has short hair as well, right? But you look at Bear's hair, it has no shape nor style. It fact his hair resemble this chap name Kent Cheng stars as Fat Cat, a mentally challenged fellow.



In short, Bear appeared clumsy and this hair style make him looked retarded.

Went to his house before few times and his house remain very “complex”. I thought my brother's place(with 2 kids) was messy, but this is incredible.

(Taken from front door)

What is that red shirt hanging at the living hall?

(That's his pc)

There was this theory that some people are born neat and others disorganized. For me, I like my home looks like a showcase. I hate to admit that I am obsessed about keeping home clean and neat.

Help Bear to reformat and re-installing OS. During the installation, it prompt us for the cd keys. Guess what? Bear lost his cd keys.

(Search and search.......)

Ah Bear is very disorganized indeed.
.

Feeling urge for a smoke, so I went downstairs for a quickie. Opps, saw “old veg” squatting there with a stony-faced like he hadn't slept in whole night. He whispers secretively on his mobile phone.



My first impression is that I wanted to trail him for dubious reasons, quickly whip out my mobile, snap a picture. He continue ignoring me like I'm invisible.



Why is he ignoring me? No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get him off this phone

(Mute out the sound)

I figure out, he is talking with a female. Hello, Karen (Old veg's wife) I know you're reading this, your hubby has done such a fantastic job. He is certainly talented!

He may not have hair, but he's still one fine looking vegetable. Better keep an eye on your hubby, ya.

During lunch time I was at Clifford pier vicinity. I decided it has been so long since I had any reported adventures with Melvin, so called him up for lunch together and his comment had really upset me.

What do he mean he had already eaten? It's only 12:15pm. I'm hurt, I need to nurse my wounds. For some strange reason I'm becoming increasingly disorientated and agitated.

Did he show up?
This picture say it all.

(wipe off that smile before I slap you)

I always maintain a person with high degree of potential violent will win any psychological conflict.

Take a look at his clothes, guys.

(A potential security guard)

That's his uniform. He wore dark blue pant with long shelves blue shirt and they look every bit like that private security guard. I think he knows his plan for his retirement.

Who can blame him? Even Nathan if he wear like this, people might mistaken him as selling roti prata chap.
.

Just last week, a new female colleague has joined my company. When she started work on her first day and she was introduced to everybody. During that time, I was not in the office. After seeing her for one week, I still have no idea what is her name.

Time: 5:00PM
As I leaving my office, I walked past her department saw her working furiously and me trying to take the gentleman approach, I started talking to her, like asking her name or even better any "exclusion", hot news. In less 20 seconds of conversation, another female colleague of mine came in and guess what?

She said, “I knew it, you are trying to score points with new girls again” And she turned to my new colleague and said, “ This one very sneaky fellow, please refrain from speaking to him too much. Now he will put on a modest front, after that you will be eaten alive by him in later stage”

Holy smoke, I realized in my company the girls here label me as a buaya! No idea what a buaya is? Dear friends, buaya is Malay for “crocodile” which means “wolf” or a womanizer, flirt.

I seriously think she's think too highly of me. My buaya skill is still infant stage. Hahah.

But anyhow, I'm going to do an interview of myself one of these days.

------------
They said,
Got this colleague, called Nicky How
A well-known buaya, that all can see..
See girls only, go phee-0-whee.
And flash his Thai Rolex, gleefully.

All the women, in our company.
Think he very, touchy-feely.
See him quickly, siam jit pee.
Or stare at lizard, in the pantry.

I said,
My van from top, looks Ferrari.
Shirt from far, looks like Armani.
Tie from side, becomes JPG.
Pants seen from bottom, is Versace.

Payday I buy the girls Gucci.
And diamond rings from Tiffany.
Bring them to zoo, till the hippos know me.
How come I still BOH SENG LEE?

Singapore shopping centre general made improvement like from pay toilet to free usage. However the same cannot be said over the causeway.

Was in Malaysia and I discovered the pay toilets over there had increase from RM0.20 to RM0.50. I was surprised to see a queue form outside male toilet, as I made my entry. There, I watched a man inside City Square toilet collect 50 cents before each person entered the toilet.

The point behind the hike is that, theoretically, that the toilets will be kept clean by the professional manning the facility. Cleanliness same as before but there is only item that was upgraded.




This is what you are prepared to pay you for unique sink from Malaysia.
.

Took MRT back home as van was being hijack by my A.Manager. Taking the MRT is always a challenge especially during the peak hours. I notice there different category of people taking the train.

First there the "Drifters" group. Since I'm staying in Pasir ris(first stop) so the train is empty, alot of seats available. Imagine standing behind the yellow line waiting for the train. Somewhere, somehow, when you least expected, someone will silently making full use of the narrowest space between your feet and the line to mark their territory and slowly drift in front of you,. Suddenly you found yourself standing behind them instead. Simply awesome man! The authorities should seriously consider recruiting them for special operation missions.

The second group are the "Swifter". I tell you, this group with their instinct and quick reaction would be most suitable for S.W.A.T team. Once the train doors open, like S.W.A.T team in action, they burst in the train in record time. This is so cool.

Of course there the "Don't bother me" group. This group of people consists mainly of an individual, most of the time, just himself or herself. They have a habit of jerking up their volume on their MP3 to the max or just quietly to themselves with earpieces fit in one of their ear. With their lookalike hearing equipment, they are like the Secret Service, their primary mission is remain intact in their seat or standing. They don't look around, don't talk or even close their eyes. Oh...I am so awe-inspiring with their attitude.

Then there always have the “Distracter”. Of course for this group, most of the times, they chat non-stop and guarantee to get you attention. They talk like a loudspeaker, competing for spotlight. My goodness, this is so entertaining just standing next to a “distracter”. You can never get bore in the train with them around.

This group I hate most known as “Da Bei Gong” or “Tua Pek Kong” in hokkien. Who is Da Bei Gong? He is taoist deity, people tend to pray to him for luck and he is usually in a sitting position. So when people referred to as “Da bei Gong” it mean = sit there whole day = Idle. This type of commuters usually stand in front or near the train door refused to budge even there are other trying desperately to get off the train. The Chinese temple should hire this group as medium for ritual and trance session.
.

Met Bear at Plaza Singapura after work as he wanted to see the movie “stealth”. So let him be the boss for a day. Anyway, he won't listening to me unless I fart. Haha



Apparently, I figure out watching movie during the weekday is much better than weekend. I hate queue. I hate watching with noisy punks. I hate watching with those cheap charlie who knock into back of your chair once every few seconds. I don't necessarily discriminate, I simply exclude certain types of people.

(See, no crowd)

Look at Bear, his clothes are just like his uniform. Always t-shirt with bermudas, slippers and together with his sling bag. He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot fashionable.

Had dinner at Long John Silver and since there no much people around for me to observe so I study Bear. I concluded sitting in front of me is a piece of pork chop.



Seriously, I still have old photo of his, taken when we are in the Army (92) and he was just like me. SLIM!!!

About the movie ”stealth”, don't watch! Think the audiences are stupid or what.

1) Fighter plane zoom at low altitude can spot his friend and recognizes her despite there other humans around? - With this kind of speed, how can that be possible???

2) Enemies trying to kill actress by using mortar when the target is only less than 100 meters away? They have machine guns, mind you. - During my army time, I'm from mortar platoon. It won't work this way.

3) The actress knows her way to N.Korea's border when neither have map nor compass? - Don't tell me it's instinct.

4) USA plane can anytime fly into other countries airspace like N.Korea and Russian. - This got to be kidding me.

It goes on and on and on..........there’s no denying it, stealth is ridiculous.

After show went for drink at Macdonald's and I learn that Bear's PC is inflicted with virus, he needs to reformat his PC yet again (an average of 4 times a year). He did not install anti-virus program.

Told him many times to install, anti spy ware, firewall, anti virus program and yet..................sigh.

Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it.
.

Nanbei mata. Useless mata. In case you don't know what is mata, it literally stand for Police.

Time check: 3:45am and I was along Shenton way to Clifford center on my way home. Heard the police siren but no police car was seen so what do you do?

Ans: Drive on like me.

Reaching traffic junction still hear police siren but nowhere was any police cars seen and traffic light was in your favor so what should you do?

Ans: Reduce speed drive on like me.

When I drive on, suddenly there this police car with it screaming siren do a e-brake and stopped just half meter from my van from the other direction and obviously this police vehicle beat the red light.

So what did they do?

Stared at me as if I'm some sort of criminal. Stared at me as if I committed some grave crime.

-------------
To the matas only.

Helloo mata kia, yes, you might have their siren on but that doesn't mean they can beat traffic red breaching the safely of other motorists.
-------------

As I recalled, a friend told me this. He saw a group of teens fighting, so as a good citizen when he happened to see a police car passed by, he frantically stop them, ran up to them and trying to explain what he saw. Guess what did the matas do?

They saw my friend approaching them and they quickly lock their car door (they are inside the car). Mind you, 2 officers with guns against one peasant.

Mata had a little bird,
Little bird, little bird,
Mata had a little bird,
Use it only for show.
And everywhere that Mata went,
Mata went, Mata went,
Everywhere that Mata went
The bird was sure to go.
.

You people got any heart or not? This Durai chap is already out of job, he got a family to feed, a Mercedes Benz to maintain, first-class air to travel and you folks still can't stop talking about him?

So any suggestion what should be he's next job? How about a plumber who specialize in gold plated taps? Wow, that's sound profitable.

By the way, I always wonder how the NKF gold tap look like? In my house, I have one install as below picture shown.

(Actually it nothing special, but it do remind of my own preciousness which of course are big and strong)

Or maybe he can be the marketing director at Tong Garden for packager and distributor of nut snacks. Then he can promote all kinds of nuts like cashew nuts, groundnuts, pistachio nuts and of course peanuts.

Speaking of job, my mum asked me how much I earn in a year? I told her less than 30k and she tells me, “You are not even earning peanuts.....it's only the peanut's shell at the most”
.

Did you guys miss me? Well, I apologize for neglecting you folks, I've been working my ass and blah blah blah with no time to breathe, let alone blog. On top of this, it almost a year since I started writing, I truly deserve a break. Hey, I promise that I'm going to try to be a little more active here, ya.

And YES, it's good to be back.....wowoo. To be total honest, I'm busy with my leisure stuff....not work.

However no matter how busy I am, my family always come first.
It's family day again.

Time: 9:30am
Place: Red Star Restaurant
Location: Chin Swee Road
Crowd: Riot status.
Cover charge: Not applicable.



Went to Red Star Restaurant to try authentic Cantonese tim sum. Here, dim sum is still served off push-carts in the traditional way. You have to chase after all those carts for the dim sum items you like, for chances are they either miss passing by your table, or by the time the carts reach you, the items you want are all gone.

(They shout, while pushing the carts)

The ambiance is in typical Cantonese fashion and the liveliness of this unpretentious restaurant will excite your appetite and prepare you for a sumptuous feast. If you're the type that enjoys browsing through a menu, then a dim sum restaurant is not for you.

(Mum: You guys all siao, wake up so early on Sunday just to “yum char”)

They even served hot carrot cake on the cart.




For the novice, the noisy atmosphere in a dim sum restaurant can take a bit of getting used to. But it's a great way to sample a large variety of tastes and flavors without feeling overly full.

Damage: $60/- (4 persons)

After our “yum char” session, went back our old block which is just across the restaurant to take a look.

It's like a tour back to the past. Some of our old neighbors recognized mum even though we shifted out 11 years ago. I learned that there this kid, we used to play together. I remember when I last saw him he was just in primary school.

He died last year of an bike accident. He was just 26 years old.

Life is so dynamic and so unpredictable.

.

Taking a BREAK from blogging.
Will be back in few days time.

I'm sure you guys heard about the NKF saga, there no need for me to emphasize this. And then there was this Mrs Goh Chok Tong replying to a reporter's query whether gold-tap NKF CEO's pay was excessive, she replied:"$600K is peanuts"

Well friends, guess what?

Last night at the NTUC, I tried paying for my beers and groceries using peanuts but what the fuck, they refused! When I pump in petrol for my van, I tried using peanuts as payment, the staffs there threaten to call police.

My question is why $600K is PEANUT?

Mrs Goh is no more the honourable and dignified lady I used to see. To me now, she is a very ordinary career woman who chases after money and glory. No more, no less.
.

My lovely nephew came over to my place to spend the night. Playing with him was more exhausting than I attended ship. Basically I had no peace for the night, as I had to participate his activities.

This morning brought him the kid's breakfast at Macdonald's. Children exert a phenomenal influence when it comes to restaurant selection.

(Brought him some toys)

Oh yes, he loves to draw....

(future artist)

He drew some pictures and I taken some pictures.(Not clear though)

(darth vader)

(Ultra man)

This picture is shocking.........my nephew drew ME.

(Uncle Nick)

I learned that sometimes kids can often say the darnest things, in the most innocent of ways, filled with profound lessons that even adults can learn from. In the afternoon, brought him to the beach. See, he doesn't need any video games or any high tech gadget just to be happy. He's only needs a fallen branch, sand and of course his fave uncle.


.

(Taken from Part one)
Nick: Ah......that's funny. My next question came from Bear. He asked what do you think of your ex-boyfriend? *clearly looking uncomfortable*

Rachel: Good question. He's a loser, big time! He's whiny, pathetic and nobody will care if he's ripped limb from limb. He's like a rat in the drain, menace to society, hazardous to the community.

Nick: *grasp*

Part Two (Continue)

Rachel: I am angry because I put up with my ex for 2 years, when I should have ditched his sorry ass after 2 days! He was like an old woman! Nag, nag, nag...not to mention this freak, would wear sandals with jeans and think he was the perfect model of style. I think my ex was looking for a mother not a lover. *sigh*

Nick: Am I that bad? *afraid to look at Rachel's eye*

Rachel: Huh? No no no, you got all wrong liao. I was referring to the one BEFORE you as you know I have many boyfriends in the past. *counting her fingers*

Nick: I knew it wasn't me. *relieved* I think Bear's question is referring to.........me.

Rachel: Nick, you're a good man. What was Bear's question again?

Nick: What do you think of your ex-boyfriend.....referring to ME.

Rachel: That's a tough one, I must admit. Well, let me think. You know yourself lah, not much good points to say what.

*pause*

Rachel: Apart from satisfy my bedroom desires, I can't think of anything else.

Nick: If you says so. Ok, let's move on the the next question shall we? He asked how you and your ex....I mean ME get started on our relationship? By the way, it's from Roger.

Rachel: Like all love stories, it usually start with a horny man. In your case, an extremely lustful guy.

*both began laughing like lunatics *

Nick: Let's just say I'm sexually motivated.

Rachel: Hoo hoo hoo, you can say that again.

Nick: Here one email from Stephanie. She asked why we broke up.

Rachel: Ya lor, why? I can't remember. *in deep thought*

Nick: You can't? That's because you are asking a lot.

Rachel: I’m worth a lot. *giggle*

Nick: Most definitely, Rachel. Ah Peh got a question to ask you. *checking pc*.

Rachel: I'm listening.

Nick: Since you're in insurance business, what are your view on threatening the clients the possibility of lapsing the policy if stop making premium payment.

Rachel: Hey, at least we don't steal, anyway the government hates competition.

Nick: Honest speaking, I think you're right. Next question came from Old veg. He asked if you can changes one thing in yourself, what will that be?

Rachel: I'm gonna stop procrastinating one of these days.

*both laughing like schoolgirls*

Nick: You can have a good sense of humor there. As for this question, is personally. How is your life now?

Rachel: Sad........

Nick: Do me a favour, dear. Don’t turn your life into a Korean or Taiwanese Drama, ya,

Rachel: *Rachel's eye lit up* You still care about me?

Nick: Yessss!

*Nick & Rachel both lock eyes with each other for a full five to six seconds*

*still maintain eye contact*

*Rachel give Nick a lewd smile*

*Nick stare back with lustful eyes*

*Rachel's eyes roamed over Nick, like a hand*

*In a world without touch, this moment eclipses climax they ever had*

(Suddenly, there a voice from the Nick's pc.......”you got mail”)

Rachel: Kanasai, what's that? *annoyed*

Nick: Nothing, just an incoming email.

Rachel: I think that's all for today, Nick. I'm feeling dizzy right now.

Nick: Last question! Do you still love..............

Rachel: Look Nick, there's a limit to how many brain cells I could kill each day. Any number beyond that, I'll go straight into a coma. So if you don't mind me, I like to excuse myself.

Nick: But......

Rachel: May the lust....I mean the force be with you always.*Rachel's looked perplex*

(With that, Rachel run out with Nick chasing after her. However, she refused any more dealing with Nick as shown in the video below)

(Not clear, taken from mobile phone)

.

Rachel's interview (Part one)

Nick: The highly anticipated and long-awaited interview with Rachel is here, folks. First of all, it was driving me crazy trying to pin Rachel down for an interview. She is always on the move, very hard to get hold of her.

Rachel: Yes, been pretty busy lately. My schedule is tighter than any tupperware product *brush her hands against Nick*

Nick: May I add something dear, you're busy all along since day ONE I know you.

Rachel: *giving a squeeze on Nick's nipple* Ai ya, don't say like that meh.

Nick: Ouch, that's feel good. Err......let's get back to the interview. Here I got lot of emails from readers especially people like Peh, Roger, Bear and Melvin asking tons of questions.

Rachel: Let's get things rolling then.

Nick: Tell me about your work, your belief and yourself.

Rachel: My formula for success is rise early, work late, strike 4D or Toto. I was born in a poor family and...........

Nick: *interrupting* Me too! I was so poor growing up and if I wasn't a boy.....I'd have nothing to play with.

*both laughing hysterically*

Nick: Hey, just came in this email. A question for you. *staring at my pc* It's from Melvin.

Rachel: Really? How did he says?

Nick: Good grief, he asked you how many times you had sex in a month!

Rachel: *grinning shyly* How can ask this type of question? I'm a girl, leh.

Nick: Total agreed! *both hands and legs raise* Listen, Melvin if you trying to be funny, it ain't. Don't let me see you next time for I will push you over and mount you from the rear............

Rachel: *interrupting* Do a doggie style!

*Nick hi-five Rachel and both laugh hysterically again*

Nick: Ah......that's funny. My next question came from Bear. He asked what do you think of your ex-boyfriend? *clearly looking uncomfortable*

Rachel: Good question. He's a loser, big time! He's whiny, pathetic and nobody will care if he's ripped limb from limb. He's like a rat in the drain, menace to society, hazardous to the community.

Nick: *grasp*

End of part ONE


(Part two will post on the 7th June)

.

Remember some time back, the big hooha about me going out with my new colleague? Let called her Miss C.H. Well, she's not working here anymore since 1st June, however I still went out with her.

Just to clarify, she got the sack due to her performance got nothing to do with me. In office I ALWAYS surf Internet, post comment in forum, writing my blog and even chat on MSN and sometimes I wonder when will be my turn to get terminate? Not only this, at times went for lunch about 2 hours and in between go for half an hour smoking break!

For you folks who don't know, I'm the only chap in office who openly surf internet, the rest of my colleagues tried to camouflage their habit. So after four years working here, I'm still waiting for management send me packing.

Let's get back to this ex-colleague of mine, Miss C.H.

Do I like her? As the matter of fact, I find her bloody disgusting, no kidding. Why on earth do I still go out with her then must be in everybody's mind. You see, in my blog there's a lady which I took pics with? (hide her face) Well, she is her friend, got to know her because of Miss C.H. When her friend goes out with me, she followed.

It is hers character that is repulsive (not that she tagged along) As the matter of fact, it's gross! The fact is she's 22 years old, pleasing in appearance never had a boyfriend before and still a virgin what's that it tells you?

Let me says again.....she's ok in look and size department.

No idea?

Remember I went to Malacca, there was this Joyce, my mum's friend? Miss C.H remind me a younger version of her. Yuck!

.

Went with Bear to watch the movie, “War of The Worlds”

The show is about Aliens mount their global invasion of Earth with their tripod machines (damn tall) were landing all over the globe, attacking and destroying major cities.

Unlike the rest, this movie does not focus on the military side which I think is very good. Who want to see nuclear bomb against aliens or some bush like president making “smart” decision on defending earth? By the way, in the movie, the aliens' machines were invulnerable to our weapons and technology nuclear bomb. So I wonder how humans could survives being exterminated.

So disappointed in the end........nanbei, you know what kill the Aliens?
It's the local viruses and bacteria.

Aliens, supposedly technology were so much better and been observing human races for many million years, not know about the bacteria in the air of Earth?

End of the movie, it show crows flying around the tripod machine and machine just collapse. So what killed them?

What else, bird flu lor.

.

Topic is still on car.

No, I haven't made up my mind but latest indication show cars prices drop again. Wow, that's good news for me. I seldom take public transport. When I was 19 year old, I already owned a motorcycle and since then have stopped using public transport. Currently, am driving my company's vehicle.

To be honest, I hate public transport .

The endless waiting for buses, have to wait and wait. When you board during peak hours we have to stand all the way and squeeze inside like a sardine. What if there is a collision? Simple!

We will all die...... loh.

MRT are no better. Standing in packed MRT carriages with the unbearable stench of banglahs.....oh my God! (Shit.......I just vomit on my keyboard just thought of that foul odor) Also how can forget the screaming little brats running around.

What really bothers me are the commuters, they rushed in the MRT like running for their life just to snatch seats. They suddenly become blind when the elderlies and pregnant in need. I remember some weeks back when I took MRT to work, I offered my seat to this pregnant lady, I could tell her face seemed surprised. Her expression show she did not expected this at all. I presumed.......nobody in the past had offered her any seat.

Ugly Singaporean.....you name it, we have it.

The only thing missing public transport is checking out the babes. Can rub shoulder or share a seat with pretty gals. Usually they bathe in the morning and smell very nice.

Some have C cup........really make me day....you know what I mean one lah.

.

I have nothing interesting going on in my life right now. I promised I'll have something cool for you, but truthfully I’m just a big liar, and in reality I am horribly boring and having nothing of value to share with you.

Why?

In my mind, there is only one thing.

To buy or not to buy (Refer to car)

.

Why I want to buy a car?

First brand new car is getting cheaper now. I mean very much cheaper compared half year ago. Also I'm getting transport allowance from my company. It's like paying my monthly installment to my new car.

But most important thing is.........because my job required a car. I can't change job without a car.

Well, haven't decided yet.

.

I went for a test drive 3 cars altogether.

1) First was the Honda City 1.5. (Damage SGD58,800/-)

I was damn nervous during the test drive as I never driven auto car before. Engaged the gear from N to P as I took over the driver seat.....and I stepped the accelerator, the engine noise grew louder makes me think the car will burst forward.....but it never did move. The sales lady who sat besides me, looked bewildered and said, “Put to D...it stand for drive mode.”

Of course I know....but anyway....freaking embarrassed.

Overall assessment

Strength: Powerful engine, pick up very fast. Superb fuel consumption. Can switch to between auto and manual drive. Yes, it a auto/manual car – fun to drive.

Weakness: The external body is damn ugly. Also, there's no ABS brake and air bags.

Comments: Yuck! Enough said.

2)Then Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 GLX CVT (Damaged: SGD57,488/-)

This time, I did fared much better. No more silly mistake like engaged wrong gear. However, whenever doing a turn or u turn, I will still use my hand to touch the gear somehow. No choice my instinct for manual car is strong.

Overall assessment

Strength: Very good interior space especially leg room at the back. Best of the 3 cars in term of
spacious. Exterior is excellent as well. This is a very good looking car, I must say.

Weakness: The engine....simply no power. (Worst of the three cars)

Comments: Currently considering this car.

3)Last car was Toyota Vios-Auto (Damaged: SGD56.717/-)

I did a reverse parking and for the first time, I felt it much than easier done than drving a manual car.

Overall assessment

Strength: Good fuel efficiency. Really cheap & value-for-money since getting VVT-I engine. They threw in full body kit.

Weakness: The interior is small. (Smallest of the three cars).

Comments: Currently considering this car.

So......it's boil down to 2 choices for me now.
Either Lancer or Vios. Still undecided yet.

.

I know I'm supposed to get angry to help circulation my blood since I'm working today(attending ship). But I can't.
In fact, I felt happy. Weird isn't it?

After work met up Roger as he needed my help in choosing his bluetooth device for his pc. Went to Sim Lim Square and Roger wanted to purchase some blank cd disk for storing data as well. Now, most if not all cd is the same. Whether it brand A or brand B so long it can burn data in, it's a good disk.

Roger spend a good 15 minutes inspecting the blank CD. Now what the hell does he needs to evaluate the blank cd like a engineer doing a site investigation? After waiting for him finally I had enough.



Asked him about this........guess what he told me?

He calculating the pack of 50 blank cd sells at $25/- will it be better than 5 blank cd sells at $4.00/-? This is still fine, ok.......but he is doing this EVERY different brands he sees.

(see that whole rows of blank cd)

I mean, call me old fashioned, but I feel like a fruit or a vegetable standing there. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not angry and it I know damn well in saving! But I'm just curious what it's supposed to be in "figuring out" price/cd department.
Grumble at him, finally he relented. Brought his disk and bluetooth device in ten minutes time.

Went for lunch at Suntec City.

(Smiling at me as if I'm a vegetable)

The main propose coming to Suntec is because they have this roadshow of Mitsubishi cars. Never thought of owing a car until few days back.



Currently have 3 cars in mind. Very tempted in owing a Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 and this car is one of them.

.

See the picture?



The SAF is doing a rehearsal for this coming National Day Parade. This pics is taken from my office at the 40th floor. At Temasek tower the view is good but apart from this, there is NOTHING worth touching on. Did I mention just going for lunch alone suck? Oh...I think I did.

My friend, Peh came over my place at night for a coffee chat. This chap never failed to amaze me from time to time. Every times we met I actually acquired some kind of knowledge from him. He is one of the rare breed of friends that I have, which I actually learned something new.







Cannot write any more about him for he's one shy and elusive dude but more importantly it's our conversation detail. I can't cannot reveal too much as it is very personal between me and him.

Nope, we are not gay.

.

My website is one year old and I am amazed actually, it can last until now. When I first created my website started back in 14/06/04, my sole objective was to put up pictures of Rachel. In short, because of Rachel, my website was born.

Then I began to add my friends' pictures and other stuffs in. Initially my intention for my website was to last a week only but began to change my mind as I progress further. I have no knowledge for setting up a website and I learned along the way.

Seeing back all the entries on my blog never failed to bring joy. Lastly, without the support of all my friends probably I would have closed it down long ago.

.

I was walking along from Fullerton Hotel to Clifford pier and suddenly I heard a scream. I thought it was a man being rape by some Bangladesh workers. Turned around I saw 'victim” himself.



Ah..none other than ”old veg” my good friend. He gave me a hi-five which was his famous signature hand signal. I returned the favor using my signature movement; whipped out my mobile phone and took a pic of him.

It somehow bring him to a higher level of excitement. He removed his safety helmet as you can see in the next picture.



Sitting in his mean machine, like model he offered some posture for me to take.



You know what? He should posed for hair loss advertisement. Took an original picture of him and then have him wearing a wig for after effect.

There you go, we have before hair treatment and after hair treatment effect.

.

Bear's interview

Nick: My guest for today is someone who is big but not a giant. He may be short but surely not like a dwarf. Andy was his name but better known as Bear to his friend.



Bear: *staring at me*

Nick: Ah Bear thanks for your time and this interview.

Bear: *smiling at me*

Nick: *frown* Ah Bear, ooi talking to you.

Bear: Is it? I don't know. I thought you was talking to yourself. Hey, no need to thank me lah. Oh yes, as you all know, I always tried to be very low profile person. If not you are my good friend, I will avoid this you know.

Nick: Yes...yes.....I know. My faithful readers all would like to know more about you. They say you are handsome, strong and very macho. *going to puke anytime now*

Bear: * looking radiant* Ask me anything you like. I'm not like Melvin, that coward. I would be very happy to answer to the best of my knowledge.

Nick: Wow, you seem prepare, my young apprentice. Let get started. As usual readers get the all the fun by sending me all these questions via emails. First question posted by a reader known as Roger. He wanted to know why do are so soft spoken like a sissy. Why must your friends need to strain their freaking ears just to hear what you got to say.

Bear: *mumbling*

Nick: *ears facing him*

Bear: *mumbling*

Nick: *smack on Bear's head* Speak louder! Don't beat you also cannot.

Bear: Ouch, I just say, I'm like this. Very easy to prey on girls. I speak, they cannot hear. They lean over, this way I can eat a bit of tofu. *looking very pleased with himself*

Nick: How you eat tofu?

Bear: Ai yo, you're so stupid leh. They lean over, I stared at their “drain” lor.

Nick: Cheeky, you. Ladies if you reading you know what to do. Next question is by this chap called Melvin. He wanted to know if you truly blur fu*ck.

Bear: *laughing* What that? Can eat or not? My English not so good you see.

Nick: I understand that. I can answer on your behalf then. To Melvin......YES, he is one big blur bear. This is a confirm case after knowing him for 15 years!

Bear: *looking unsure* . Am I?

Nick: This can debate some other time. My next letter comes from Rachel which is my faithful reader would like to know if you are a gay.

Bear: I don't really know, Nick.

Nick: How come you don't know?

Bear: You know me, no doubt I like girls. But as the same time, I find men just as fascinating as well. *voice sound weak* . Last times, I went to indoor suntan and saw those guys...woooo

Nick: Bear, get out of here. You actually find men stimulating?

Bear: Don't know....*leaning forward to touch Nick's hand* .

Nick: *clearly looking disgust* . Err...Ok, time up. Got to go. This interview is finished. Got a ship to attend. It's OVER.

Bear: So fast?

Nick: But before we go I noticed something I need to ask you.

Bear: Shoot.





Nick: During the whole interview I observed, your legs is open very wide all the time. Why?

Bear: If you have dumb-bells & preciouses is as enormous as mine, you would understand.

*both laughing*

What can I say about Bear, ya. Next week will be Rachel's interview.

.

It been a long time since Bear appear on my blog. What happen him? Absolutely nothing. In fact we went out few times, catching movies and he even went out with me together with my 22 yrs colleague.

Now Bear is station in Bugis outlet (PrettyFit). By the way, have you folks ever seen a male salesperson in a PrettyFit shop? No sirs, I never.

Went for dinner with him. Just for your info, he's a religious guy. Example, eating “live” prawn, he will not touch. If prawn already dead, can.

Even eating frog congee, he make sure there no “live” frogs on the display. In other words, if he eat, then any animals are to be kill because of him then is a big no no. If animals were already dead before he order, then it ok.

Weird right?
He's like a monk...but not exactly a monk.

Went to Jalan Besar food centre.

(Red is the most emotionally intense colors)

(I'm wearing stripe which mean.....I'm horny)

Bear used to eat turtle soup but not anymore since he turned religious. Asked him why since turtle already slaughter before he order.

Guess what he said?
It was a simple answer.

Bear: Cannot
Me: Why
Bear: Just cannot
Me: I mean why.
Bear: Cannot lah (His expression never change)

Order mutton soup instead. I'm not kidding Bear wanted to order goat's penis unfortunately they don't have.

(now you see it)

(now you don't)

Tomorrow I do an interview with Bear........stay tune.

.

A platoon friend of mine called up me asked for $300 loan. Nah, he is not the one I'm always talk about. (Always called up once a month to ask for money as if I'm father)

There another chap (also platoon mate) who borrowed from me $200 six months ago and never heard from him since then. Didn't chased him for my money though.

Learn that,
Need you called you brother.
No need you, asked you don't bother.

As for this person, I shall call him Mr L.

Now my dilemma is this, Mr L never borrows money from me before and I should help him tide over his difficult time right?

But as you all know: Money ruins friendship.

Somehow, somewhere money always puts a wedge between friends. It puts me in uncomfortable positions if he doesn't pay up, etc. Let's assume I am a freaking bleeding heart and I can't stand to say no to my friend because I don't want him feeding his wife or children with animals food or leftover.

So what do I do?

If I part with my dough and he doesn't repay, I end up eating with animals food or leftover myself.

Torn between friendship and eating leftover, finally I agreed to lend him $300 and he promised to return on 22 July. Look on the bright side, if he default my loan, since it was insignificant amount anyway, he'll never ask me for money again and he'll stay out of my life.

Last note, helloooo...I'm not operating a money lender business here, ya

.

I found that something about myself.

As I get older, my preference difference somehow.
I'm talking about women.

I realized intelligent women turn me on more than anything else.

Women with beauty, humor, fashion sense or even with those water melon asset......oops, I'm so unrefined at times.... became insignificant to me now.

How come like this?

.

I rejected my ex-company's offer because I still can't handle stress. My ultimate goal is not to eliminate stress but to learn how to manage it, unfortunately I'm still in the learning stage.

Since moving to my new office in Shenton way 2 days ago, I began to hate this area already.
I'm not unhappy....I'm just not happy!

What I hate most is lunch time.

a) Found out that walking to your lunch, your clothes was drenched with my own sweaty stench.
b) Realized the huge difference in food prices eating in CBD area.
c) Cannot find space to eat.
e) Must eat fast, strangers eyes were feasting on you as they for their turn for their table.
