before this place get buried under the caves again, here i am to salvage whats left.


yet another week crossed from the calendar.

done lots these 7 days.

went downtown east with the girlfriend! haha to get my fix of chicken rice.! we clocked the mileage just for mr chicken rice at downtown east which is apparently under this ex mandarin hotel chef. as we food lovers all know, mandarin hotel can close down but it should never stop selling chicken rice. thats how good the dish is over there. i swear! in any case, it wasn't my first time there. once again, the review is pretty consistent. the soup and the rice i have no complaints. all the right details. but the meat was lacking. it was decent, but not can-die-for standards. i think the famous one at maxwell probably will kick its ass. haha

met up with a friend at hv's coffee bean. hes going during rough patches. i tink his situation more or less epitomizes the saying when it rains, it pours. the bottomline is that he has alot of shit to handle. what positive is that it is all under his own hands. he need to dictate his direction and work towards it. easier said than done i know. hence, most of the time i offer a listening ear. most ppl knows whats the right thing to do, so theres really no point preaching. hope he lift himself out of camp sorrow soon.

significantly, my very brave other friend shaved his hair BALD as part of ccf's hair for hope campaign. targetted at spreading awareness and all that. even though the whole world claims hair will grow, i tink the act of shaving for a cause is nothing short of chivary. for that i salute him! haha got to see him with his new 'hair style' as we met for our prata session. i rushed through gym before makan-ing with him though. haha its really not about the food. but the shit we share thats really worth meeting up after long days at work.

also got to see my army people which is quite a steal considering i skipped reservist this year. much thanks to internship. yea so the agenda was soccer at FICO. hardcore shagged after that i tell you. haha i brought yj with me too. hope he enjoyed playing ball with us. haha nice seeing old familiar faces. good workout. takeaways also included very sore quads, thighs and everything below the erms waist.

friday was timetable bidding time. hence no waking up before the sun is at my ass. much appreciated. thanks ntu for planting it on a working day!! so wm came over to my house and we did the STARS thing all over again. one more sem of this and we are done. or rather thats the ideal scenario. haha

the gf came for a stayover this weekend. very blissful (:

sat was a long one. did breakfast, arcade and library with the girl. haha seriously, to me arcade is regaining its seduction. its pretty uncle- friendly these days. haha

oh and i managed to meet up with desmond wong this weekend. omgawd. i havent seen the chap for like 9 years since he uprooted overseas for studies. haha hes still so nice. its unbelievable. none of the bad values from other parts of the globe got to him. hes still the person i used to know. we chatted for hours. amazing. and we learnt so much about each other's life . really hope to squeeze one more meetup with him before the guy flies again.

and attended julie's 21st as well. it was at aranda country club. my maiden time there actually. not a bad place for retreats and family time i reckon. her party had alot of ballooons! haha and i have to confess her buffet was one of the few that tasted good from all the 21st i've attended thus far. not that the rest were bad, but hers stand out somehow.! haha and her dad was impeccably nice towards the guests. haha happy 21st julie!

was supposed to swim with the girl this week. but the weather wrecked our plans! roar. nvm soon soon!

the girl and i had a dinner at the istimawa place at cck. we both fell in love with that eatery like long time ago. this time we tried more health conscious stuff. meaning off goes the stingray. but the satisfaction level certianly didn't dip a single bit. it was still mama miaa. very awesome. the vegetable soup was very tasty and uber generous with its contents. the sliced fish with onion was finger licking stuff as well. the gravy was the icing i telll you! smashing meal (:

alrighty 2 more weeks to end of internship! bring it!!
