My baby!!

Finally after one month, my baby is back! I enjoy handling her and riding her again! The feeling has never been so exciting! Now it's time to beautify and improve on her performance! Gonna be busy for the new few days, installing all the stuff into her and pushing her up to the next level! So many things to do, so little time, so little cash... Any sponsors? I will put your name on my car if you sponsor! Hehehe... :P

I saw the sun (Episode 1)

I love the sun. Though it makes me sweats alot on a hot and sunny day, I love it when it rises, peeping through the horizon and clouds, brightening the sky slowly, adding colour to the clouds above it.

It never failed to put a smile on my face when I see the sun arise from the horizon. As much as I love the sunrise, I love the sunset as well (of cos). If you were to ask me which I like best, sunrise or sunset? It's so hard to choose.

When the sun rises, it bringd warmth to my heart and I feel so energetic for the whole day. When the sun sets, it brings a different feeling to my heart. It's mellow and calm. Which I know my day will end beautifully. I will sit there for hours to just see the sun slowly rise and sets, hiding behind the clouds and horizon. I love the way it brightens up the sky, the way it shines through the clouds, the way it coloured the sky. Everyday is a different painting, different setting, and a different story to tell.

These are the photos I managed to take, of the sun rising and setting and in it's nice shine. The sun always surprises me cos It will appear in it's best shine and I will be without my camera. When I've all set and ready to await it's appearance, the sky and clouds will be there to spoil it... Well, life's such that we are always faced with the unexpected.

My only regret (till now) is not being able to view a nice sunset from Sentosa, where the hotel is (forgot what's the name). I've found a very good spot to view the sunset but the many times I went there, the sky is always covered by clouds... One day I will get to see the sunset from Sentosa!

8+1 Devils

It has been quite an experience since Andy's Bachelor's night party. For 3 nights straight, we're out in the evening till 3am, enjoying ourselves and having fun! It's been party, party and more party. The 9 of us have been out doing crazy stuff! Gosh.. It's been some time I've partied like this...

The original 8 devils are always out together, and this group of 8 are close knitted with plenty of "activities". I've only joined them recently (since Andy's party) and now within 1 week, I'm consider a devil as well! They are shock that I blend in so well with the group. Then again, the devil is in me, and they just brought it out for me. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha...

Having to work in the morning at 6am, waking up at 5am, for these 7 days, I've only slept like less than 40hrs.. Feel so tired in the day, but when night falls, the 9 of us would be so energetic! Truly the devils! Out at night, full of energy!

Time to stand down and take a rest, before we go on a "rampage"! *evil grin*

Devils also need to rest ya know.. Mua ha ha ha... *evil laughter*

I miss my wife...

Was out with Dennis in the afternoon after Andy's ROM. Since the both of us are free, Dennis suggested we go see my car. I was half-hearted cos I don't wanna see how bad it looks. On the other hand, I miss my wife so much but I didn't dare to face her and see the state she's in... Somehow there's a sense of guilt in me...

After some contemplating, we went.. This car really mean alot to me, I was actually saying sorry to her in my heart and patting her... I feel the pain in my heart to see her in the state she was... I already told the advisor at C&C when I sent in my car since day 1, no matter how much it's gonna cost my insurance company, be sure to do up my car as good as new and give it a good shine. Change whatever is needed to be changed, time is not a factor as long it's in tip top condition. After one month in the workshop, the parts are finally in from Japan. I should be getting my "wife" back in 1 week!!

Here are the pics to the damages.... :(

Congratulations to Andy!

Congrats to Andy! Finally he's married and now we've one more bro tied down.. Hehehe...

Was tasked to be photographer for his ROM and it's my first assignment to take ROM pictures. Told him I'm just a beginner but he has trust in me, which makes the pressure even higher. I hope he's happy with the photos I took, though I find I did not do a good job.. :(

Nonetheless, it was a joyous hot afternoon. Andy did not really invite any of the ATR bros maybe cos he knows some would be busy with work. But to everyone's surprises, most of us turned up and it's one of the biggest ATR gathering! We hardly had such a huge numbe of attendance, consider that most are last minute arrangements to attend his ROM. Kudos to all bros and congratulations to Andy!

Here's a pic of the ATR gang!

And here's pic of Andy with wife and "wife"!

Anyway, took these photos some time back when I bought my 50mm F1.8 lens. The bokeh of the photo is superb. This lens is a must to get for those who like to take potrait shots. Been using this lens most of the time and it's really a lens to own.

You're beautiful - James Blunt

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

My favourite song, for now. Been listening to it everyday without fail. Top in my iTunes and iPods. ;)
My iTunes showed that I've played this song for 705 times ever since I got this song on 18/08/05.
That's like 60 days, 705 times, which is like 12 times a day! Not including the number of times I've played this song in my car, and my iPods! I reckon I really love this song. Yes I do! Hahahaha...

To watch the MTV, click on the title. ;)

Silly me, even more silly Iris (Episode 2)

Today finally went to the movie with Iris. It was suppose to be Saturday, but I forgot I gotta work yet promised to watch it with her (read Part 1)... She insists to book the tickets, then when I cannot make it, kan cheong look for someone to go with her if not the tickets would go to waste... Finally got her friend to go with her, but then, she booked the wrong date... Hahahaha...

Movie was rather interesting though I don't know much about the many stories in it.. Overall it's quite a nice show, nothing to shout about though.. Had dinner at Cafe Cartel and were comparing our iPods..

Nano VS Mini

Sock, Nano and Mini

Good to know the sock fits the nano fine. Bought this sock for quite some time already. Was suppose to be a gfit together with a mini for someone. But that moment didn't happen. since it was lying around and it doesn't need to serve its purpose anymore, I used it for my nano. Surprisingly the nano fits perfectly!

You nano? I nano-ed!

Finally got my nano!

Silly me, even more silly Iris (Episode 1)

Thought I'm working the morning shift, I promise Iris to watch a movie with her toady.. Woke up at 0500 to prepare for work, spent $10 on cab fare, reached the store and realised my shift is in the evening.. Called her and told her about it.. So paiseh.. Made such a blunder.. No choice, have to go home and come to work in the evening, since non of my part-timers are able to cover my evening shift..

Wanted to see the doctor again for my cough.. But the bus is about to leave, so I hop on instead. Maybe I shall just go home and sleep, then again, since I'm already out, why not just go to the bank and settle my Citibank credit card bill @ Macdonalds house. Reach there at 0830, yet to be open. Got an hour to spend, went to Cafe Cartel to have breakfast. Thank god they have wifi!

Order an Ultimate breakfast set and from the menu, looks kindof small in portion, so ordered an omelette with bacon as well. It's is so delicious! Finished it in no time (excpet for the muffins which I brought home for my niece), end up feeling bloated, but a happy man! :)

Bacons, french toasts, pancakes, sausages, muffin! Definitly Ultimate!

Check out the omelette with bacon!

*cough* *sniff* *cough* *sniff*

*cough* *cough*

Bloody dry cough... Finished my medicine and yet still coughing... Dunno is it cos I've been smoking lesser (cos of the cough) or it's just the cough...

*sniff* *sniff*

It's really irritating to have a cough, running nose and slight fever... When the nose gets stuck, had difficulty breathing and the cough makes me feels like I have asthma...

*cough* *cough*

The cause of my illness is the fucked up smoking room behind my store. Bloody ventaliation system is down and it's only blowing out air instead of sucking in the smoke and to no where... So when the door opens, smoke gush out... Causing my store to reek of stale cigarette smell and I have to inhale 2nd hand smoke.. Even I as a smoker cannot withstand the smell... Imagine going to work at 6am, the store already have the smell.. And at 7am.. Alot of pasengers would be in the smoking room, puffing away...

*sniff* *sniff*

It takes almost 2-3 hours for the smoking room to be ALMOST empty from the early flights... By then, I would be reeking of stale cigarette smell and I would have inhaled about 30-40 smokers' 2nd hand smoke... Went on for almost 10 days before the maintanece side came down to take care of this problem. And it was only after I sent up 2 complaint letters!

*cough* *cough*

KNNBCCB! The engineers who designed the smoking room are really stupid! One of them got screwed up by me TOTALLY Fucking idiot didn't even think of any contingency plans, just in case the system breaks down! He can't even answer my questions ! And it doesn't take an engineer to know what should be done! It just takes some common sense! This engineer is fucked! It's just his luck to get me on a bad day.. Anyway he got a bloody attitude! And his pride cause him to fall into my "trap"! Hahaha... He thinks he can fake me with his engineer stuff, trying to explain to me all the mambo jumbo he knew, yet without knowing that I actually discussed with other engineers on what and how can be done about the smoking room! So, I was prepared in any "arguements" that would come along! End of the day, he was embarrased by me infront of other tenants around the smoking room, being that our conversation was rather loud. I wonder which engineering school he went to, and I wonder how he's qualified for his job... Dare to tell me his design for this smoking room will not have any problems.. But now?

Idiot!

*cough* *sniff* *cough* *sniff*

This is where the smoking room is.. Right smack behind my store where the exit is.. Passengers tends to walk through my store instead of walking around outside the store.. Must collect toll soon..

And this is how big the smoking room is.. Indoor and outdoor (kindof hidden cos of a glass panel as partition).. Might as well make it a outdoor smoking room, good ventilation, put a bar there, sell some beverages and earn some profits!
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Now the ventilation is working fine.. Excpet for my cough and nose.. nbz...
