YArRr..

first, congrats to Peggen for finally getting her driving licsene.. well done there!! haha.. give me a ride sometime in that stylo milo car of yours ( dad ) k? yar, and siew yu is right about you being the first driver of the gang.. heehee... well, don't be sad, the rest of the gang, there are still records to fight for.. erm, things like the first person to get the licsene on the first test.. the first person to own a car.. the first person to bang people's backside.. and of course, the first person to get banged on the backside.. hahaha... anyway, congrats and be careful when you drive.. not that i doubt your skills, but i doubt the other drivers.. the number of bad Taxi drivers and SBS drivers i have seen is more than enough to make me off my discman ( Weilun's) off that instant when i cross the road or when i go road cycling.. wish you safe and smooth driving forever!

next, congrats to siew yu too! well done there in coming in 2nd for one of the most prestigious annual dance com in singapore! wished i could have been there to watch it, but anyway, i think the results told me that you were good.. work hard and i am sure with more effort, the next competition would be a champion for you and your team.. back in JC council days, i could still remember the days when i was siao-on about dancing.. haha, well, probably becasue i am quite good at it and its one of the best ways to attract girls' attention during orientation and all.. hahaha.. but sadly, we just didn't have time for dancing to make it competition material when we have our CCA and A-Levels to juggle.. perhaps dancing is like Maths, just be hardworking enough to practice, and dancing would be a A1 for you..

next, CYC, how could you not come to the steamboat? as the saying goes, "at home depend on parents, outside depend on friends," its like a reunion dinner for all of us! 6 years of friendship, and some longer with you, and you are doing this? you ought to feel guilty, buddy.. well, if you have something on the 4 Feb, I am fine with changing the dates if the rest wants to.. just keep me informed beforehand via SMS..

i had not been home for the past 2 days and was staying in camp for duty.. right now, i am just simply glad to be at home even though its not a weekend or Friday.. it appears that next week, i would become very busy with preparation for JST in my coming trip to Brunei.. and its because of that, my appointment to extract my wisdom teeth have been postponed to later this year.. "Oh shit.." to the loss of freedom and staying-in, but "Thank goodness" for sparing me white-porraige-with-bubble-tea-straws until later.. but hey, come to think of it, stay-in saves money.. so it is not that bad after all eh?

was speaking to jian wei that time about getting married and things like that.. and that conversation, although short-lived, has got me thinking about it for the past few days.. it is really damn hard to get married in singapore.. first of all, it is pretty hard to get a house (even for a normal 4 or 5 room flat).. i have heard of people paying the instalments of a house using GENERATIONS of descendants.. which means, for example, David's ah gong may have bought the nice apartment when he was 40 years old and started to "gong" it.. when he died, the house haven't "gong" finish, so pass on to David's father to "gong".. David's father died and the house still haven't "gong" finish.. and now, David is working his ass out to "gong" the apartment so that hopefully, his son can live in that apartment and call it his own..

weird logic but hey.. how practical..

i want to be like my dad.. one shot, cold hard cash buy my own house, get my own car but, how is it possible in today's society? it is definitely more practical to aim for a "instalment plan that ends before you die".. which means i will have to work my ass out, don't fall sick to some major illness, don't go on holidays, don't eat meals more than $2.00, don't pay when taking MRT or buses and maybe, don't even use the water and electricity at home..

it means no parties, yes, not even once in a while.. no ktv, not even those $3 per hour in the Community Centers.. no romantic dinners at posh restaurants like Le Ashe.. no seafood with beautiful backdrops like the Fisherman Village..

wow...

haha.. i can go on for hours but i can see some of you all yawning now and rolling your eyes at this entry already.. ok, i know this is getting boring and you are as interested as Den is to Neo Li Lin..

that means, (just in case you don't get it), you are NOT interested..

you know what, KTVs once a while and drinking once a while is gonna be in my life still.. so is a nice 5 room flat and a Mitsubishi Lancer.. and maybe, if i can, i will include a street of terrace-house ( ohhh yes, a street.. ) and a Jaguar XKR...

hahaha...

oh, by the way, Wang Lee Hom's latest album, Gai Shi Ying Xiong, is a great album.. some not so great tracks but definitely a few ultra-amazing tracks like "Zai Mei Bian", "Hua Tian Cuo", "Gai Shi Ying Xiong", "Kiss Goodbye".. and my favourite "Da Cheng Xiao Ai"..

"Da Cheng Xiao Ai" simply describes me and my love to Sheh Shi Man.. like its written just for me and...

oh..

okok.. the yawn is getting wider and louder..

i get the hint..

regards,


hahaha.. happy to see the word "regards" eh? hahahaha...
