If Tommorow never comes (Ronan Keating) ok ok its getting fishy.. is it really on shuffle? Hmm.. my mp3 player IS screwed up anyway... sigh.. must get a new one.

Whee! Done! Finally.. Actually also a little play cheat la.. cos my MP3 really screwed up de.. I set it to shuffle then press back instead of forward. Somehow keep getting the same tracks so skipped them. So its not that random after all, or you would get multiple entries of the same song (maybe my life is just boring?) Strangely only needed to translate a few ^^ its not that accurate, but it was fun!

Back to School
Its back to school!! Haha.. on a beautiful (darned haze) friday morning, I met my pals YY and Pye haha the infamous Batok Triangle to head over to PJC to look our old teachers up. Didn't know on that day was also PJC Open house though, haha no wonder.. Anyways, that started at 1300H so we missed it altogether. Nontheless, there were lots of Pioneers around the school. The new jersey SUCKS!! Im serious! Please change it and think of something better!

It was great to be sitting down the canteen once more, reminescing on the 2 years that I spent there. Indeed, it was 2 great years of my life. Great friends, good teachers, and a decent school that somehow I welcomed even though its reputation was nowhere in Singapore. Cheers to 03S14! All the best in your respective lives!

So my ex-civics tutor Mr Lor came to talk to us. It was nice to see him again after so long. T'was a long absence from PJC. But then again, 5 day work weeks everywhere, we didnt get much of a chance. Lately there's been this mail about a Reunion Dinner coming up, wonder if its true, but I wanna go!! Somehow old loyalties brew in my heart again. Its nice to belong somewhere..

After chats with other teachers Mr Ang our PE teacher, we headed off to Town for movie: Death Note. Haha an absolute cliffhanger ending, but it was a good show nonetheless. A total steal at $7.50! ^^ watch it! Bong's recommendations!

Here I stand, the dawning of a brand new day,
as I look to the way ahead.
In my heart burns the fire of learning,
and it shines everywhere I go.
Never fading and ever yearning,
While I live, I learn and Grow.

I will seek and explore
open each and every door.
Always caring and faithful and true.
To be a guiding light,
set the future burning bright
for my college and for nation too.

We believe, While we live, We learn

Guys Night Out
Guys Night Out

After yet another day of work, the weekend finally drew near. TGIF man, I say each friday, as the work week draws to an end. Somehow, everything feels better, well, unless there is some stupid duty or something. Lol but then again, weekend duties are pretty relaxing in their own way. After a conduct of IPPT with involved a number of crabs, me and the Ops Specs collected everything and cease-fired immediately. Fridays always bring about a rush of enthusiasm to finish up all the work possible so as to leave for home as soon as the clock hits 5. Heading home on time is such a luxury..

And thus, there was a guys nights out. Alright, I admit I'm the one not tagging along, but hey, I've got a beautiful GF to spend time with right? Anyways I headed over to Zel's house first to accompany her and eat some delicious porridge (thanks Sister Sharon!!), then left for home to change. It was frantic. In 10 minutes I bathed and changed and was out of the house in record time. Lol, trainee skills are still pretty inherent in me at this point of time.

Destination: Plaza Singapura.

And as usual, Chui was late. Grr.. me Joe and Justin just had to chill in Starbucks. Esspresso!! Ever my favourite drink. So we chilled there grumbling about our working life (which is intertwined) awaiting for our favourite Camry ^^. When it came with Chui and Shimon, we zoomed of to Boat Quay, Chui grumbling about the parking costs.

Finally, Minds Cafe. I must admit, that place is only fun with the correct company. We played 2 games, some Railroad thingy (like monopoly) and Bang!. It was hilarious, especially the second one. And so the day ended, with a group photo of us with Shimon's Pipoko Hammer. Haha..

Then there was the time.

Past midnight, and being the only guy in the West. Taxi fare: Past $30. Heart pain sia.. But it was really fun. Guys Night!!

Flying Money
Flying Cash

Ever seen cash fell out of the sky? I did, well at least a little boy did. It was so amusing to see him running with outstretched arms, trying to grab that $10 note which floated down to him. 4 stories up, I was laughing like crazy while Zhi Ai was like "oh gosh, oh shit, i'm sorry!" Haha.. well, she just dropped my 10 dollars down 4 floors while we just watched as it floated down like a dead leaf. I must say I was really tickled at her expense, she was so embarrassed! Oh well, its my 10 bucks anyway, guess there might have been a little regret after that.

In any case, just to lift the spotlight from her, we went to watch "You, me and Dupree". Was a good show I must expect (it cost me $17.50 though ><), funny, witty, a little sick. Haha I was suprised that Kate Hudson actually has quite a good bod! Hmm.. just the face I guess. Anyways, that was 1 bugger of a father-in-law.. Really enjoyed that show. Watch it you guys!

Sigh, stomach's been aching for the past 4 days or so, been terrible. Comes on and off, whether im eating or not. At least I still sleep ^^

Tommorrow is the last day of her exams! So relieved for her. She's been having a hard time, working so hard trying to cram everything into her head. At least that will be gone tml. Finally she can take that long-deserved break. Good job dear, will work on it during the hols. I promise you your math will be power! Dun give up! All the best!

So hope you like your pressie..
