Hang On

Final Lap...... the last burst of fire will commence tmr...Hang in there :)

Tugas di KL 21-24Oct, 4-7Nov

Finally completed my two times 'mission' in KL....For work purpose. it was a fulfilling journey, with lotsa learning experiences, and of course, bearing in mind my assigned task. My knowledge of basic malay proved useful. think of it, if i were to stay in malaysia for a longer period of time, my malay will definitely improve to a large extent, since all chinese/canto drama shown there have malay subtitles.

Sad to say, none of the strangers i met on road, be it taxi driver/ hawkers managed to guess my nationality correctly, be it whether i speak in english or malay....

Traffic is horrible + terrible. ..that's the best description......

basically JA described the road as a 'moving carpark' during peak hours, which means that the vehicles seemed to be stationary and parked nicely on the road from far....becos the road is always jammed.....well, from what i noe is, becos the public transport network is quite bad apparently, thus the locals still prefer to drive around as many of the places in the city are still not easily accessible by public transport.

Check out the shots, all of them were took during my first trip:

i chose to eat simple these few days, first day i went to their typical halal food court, eating the BBQ stingray and Penang hokkien mee.... That's what the hawker said to me. btw, i tried to talk their accent to make sure that i can be understood:

Hawker: 你似哪里人 （你是哪里人）??? (asking for my nationality -- she knows i am not a local)

Me: 你猜 la..

hawker: 不是泰国人就是印尼人......(i'm immuned to it alr.....she's not the only one who guessed that i am a Thai/ Indon....almost all (taxi drivers/ hawkers, etc) that talked about my nationality there made these guesses........)

Me:(pengz.....) 不是。。。。我是新加坡人.

Hawker: huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?????? 你是新加坡人???? 新加坡人酱黑的????? 我以为新加坡人都几好命wor....不是天天吹冷气, 不用晒太阳的meh???????

Me: (juz smiled at her...........) (thinking: hello, juz to let u know, i haf no air con at home........ i need to work under the sun..........)

But probably that's how Singaporeans are stereotyped........

2nd nite was.............well....fine....out with the 'Highness' ++ Twin towers + german restaurant. Totally European style and mainly patronized by foreigners..... My feedback was that the food aerved there is good...but, i'm not hopeful that if one could survived if it's opened in Singapore....The speed at which the food were served is simply TOO SLOW......waited like more than 30 mins for my order...luckily wasn't very hungry then...

Chose to go simple on the final nite again.......juz a plate of fried oyster and pumpkin cake...at this place called "Oyster king"

Ending off with a shot taken at the hotel.....basically very satisfied with the accomodation....as i think i'm quite easily contented as it contains all basic facilities and the room is quite big too, at only 235RM++ per nite.

It's really tiring there..imagine i only get around 5 hrs of sleep per day......when i'm back home i juz simply became lethargic....and slept for more than 12 hrs in total......

K-box Jurong Safra

Well, what i can say is that it's the newest K-box outlet so far as of now...

the ambience is cool abd the sofa is still in good condition (not "corroded" and torn)

and that outlet has touch screen selection function + song recording...

We were quite surprised by the recording effect, apparently, there's no background noise as the sound input is directly from the microphone and system itself...check out this sample...

Supermaster - Supermaster

Enough is enuff

Ris Low, u r really testing the patience of Singaporeans......

That's the last embarrasing video i will post about u....




I will rather watch PCK than to hear you 'BOOMZ' AND 'SHINGZ'

Reunion of the Ravagers

It was a heart warming reunion session. Guys, Gals, Uncles, Aunties, Fathers and Mothers, with their children. All gathered at West Coast Park Field on 11 Oct, 9am. From the pioneers to the the young ones. That was a once in 5 years gathering. Think of it, i have not seen some of the old faces for more than 5 years. The gathering reali brings back fond memories of my days as a JJC softballer with all my team mates then.

If i was not mistaken, JJC Softball Team was started around 1985, counting backwards, the pioneering team of seniors should be in their 40s already, and most are already parents and are full grown (horizontally)...lol.

Hope to get the grp pics soon.

Check out some of the shots.


We belong to the younger generation of softballers. Desmond, the one in yellow (my batch 'grew up' with his scoldings 10 years ago...lol..)

Me in the catcher's shitting squat.

Enjoying my old days as an infielder

rusty shoulders, torn apart boots, aching arms.....but it's worthwhile. Thanks everyone for being there on sunday morning, had a great time meeting up wif familiar faces that gone thru the 2 years of my life as a JJC Ravager, been wif us thru the 9-5 weekend trainings under the hot sun, muddy JJC diamond days. Hope to meet up on similar events in the near future again :)

Welcome Nephew Caden

Nephew Caden was born on 2 Oct 2009, 1542hrs.

Isn't him adorable?? i juz simply couldn't take my arms off him...lol.. Lucky i haf no phobia to carry new born babies...thanks for the trainings with my niece 6 years ago on 3 Oct 2003. Such coincidence. The birthdays of my nephew and niece is only 1-day apart in the Roman Calendar. While baby Caden chose to be born on the same birthday as me, as of the Lunar Calendar, 八月十四, the eve of the mooncake festival :) We are also born in the same hospital.

New National Treasure!!!!!

OMG This AIR HEAD WON MISS SINGAPORE WORLD!!!!!! IS SHE REALI THE BEST SINGAPORE CAN OFFER?????

Ris Low
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ris Low is the newly crowned Miss Singapore World 2009. [1]

Low has been heavily criticised for her inability to speak proper English as well as her lack of intellect, when she appeared in a fashion interview. However, some people have tried to downplay the fracas by saying that most youths in Singapore, such as her, speak the same way. Ris Low's interview has sparked much discussion about the pressing issue of Singlish among Singaporeans, especially in youths these days. [2] [3]

Low is now quite certain that she is studying for a diploma in travel & tourism [4] and one in nursing at Singapore's Management Development Institute of Singapore [5].

There have been allegations on Singapore forums and websites that Low won the crown underhandedly and is undeserving of the title.[6][7] There have also been calls for Low to be stripped of her title as Miss Singapore World 2009. This is because of her poor command of English. This can be seen in her recent interview which her pronunciation caused resulted in her not making much sense such as leopard preens","studying STEEL", "that shouts me,BOOMZ", "bigini" and many more.[8][9]. Recently,The beauty queen was convicted of five charges of misappropriation, cheating using illegally obtained credit cards, and impersonating their users' identities.
