Fantastic week folks !
Thursday night was good. Accidental chickie spotting at Orchard before I needed to make a required purchase at the perfume whole sale shop. I needed a Hugo Boss Number 6 as the perfume that I had was finished. I think I can finally move on now, as it was given to me by someone... Anyways... The scent is quite alluring...
Hah, on the way there I mixed up Lucky Plaza and Far East Plaza... So, made our way to Far East Plaza and was there when I said.."hmm.. this is not the place where its full of foreigners.." We then hauled our ass back to Lucky Plaza and got what I've needed... In the end... my eyes probably got internal bleeding due to the wonderous sight that I was feasted upon... Heh... maybe I need a name card... easier distribution of my number to some of these very fine ladies hehehe...
Friday was good... hang out with Ben and Ariff as well... I think I'll make it a constant habit to irritate Ben when he is around... Maybe cos he's Ben and he is just irrita-table.. haha if there is such a word...
Saturday was the best... Went out karaoke-ing at town. It was great. And I have news. BEN OH can sing... YES ladies and gentlemen. BEN OH can sing. And Ariff sang all those mellow love songs... hahaha guess someone missed someone in the Middle East... hmm... nice of him... But I told them that if they'd ever think of starting a band like Chicago or Toto, I (yes ME) would be the undisputed lead singer... Anyways... good fun folks... Don't worry, if I am, for some reason, lousy, there is another session scheduled for me :-)
me with the Guiness penguin...
my mom'll kill me if I bring it home...
hah, "buddies" indeedBen, Ariff and Zaki
(adorable isn't he) ...Orchard Road at Saturday was great. The sights were just fabulous. Grabbed dinner at Shaw Towers. The dynamic duo grabbed tacos the size of a travel mouse... heh... After which, we walked along Orchard Road. Vehicular traffic was CRAP. Puts me off driving to town in future... Ladies were of course... sight for sore eyes... and coarse voices... Otherwise, it was a good week for me. Went home with grinning faces and "bleeding noses". Hoping to start the next week with a bang... Hopefully...

I would like to make an announcement.
For those of you who are soo used to me being nice, bullied, taken advantage of, being mistreated, harshly judged. I have news for you. I do not want to play Mr. Nice Guy anymore. Nice guys get nothing but finish last. Cos of you f*cking jerks. Soo... now, when it comes to work and play and whatever it is... I will judge for myself whether to be personal or professional. Too many times people have taken me for granted... Too many times have people mistreated me. Too many times have people treated me like SHIT. NO MORE. FIND SOME OTHER FUCKER. AND THAT MEANS YOU FUCKING BITCHES AND BASTARDS OUT THERE. NICE GUYS HAVE LIMITS TOO. YOU WANT NO LIMIT ??? GO TO GOD. FOR ME, I'LL SAY TO YOU THIS... FUCK OFF...
I GUARANTEE YOU THIS. WORK IS WORK. PLAY IS PLAY. AT WORK, YOU NEED MY HELP AND HAVE THE COURTESY TO ASK ME, I'LL HELP. PLAY IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM. OTHERWISE, THE LINE IS DRAWN. MY MISTAKE IS TO EVEN CONSIDER FRIENDSHIP INTO WORK. IN THE END, I STILL GET DESPISED, HATED, SNEERED AT. NOW NO MORE... YOU DO GOOD, I GIVE YOU CREDIT. YOU SCREW UP, I SCREW YOU. I'VE GIVEN MANY CHANCES TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND YOU GUYS HAVE THIS KIND OF SHIT IN YOU... "alah zaki aper.. ape dier nak buat." or "alah zaki will this zaki will that" MY TWO WORDS NOW... FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFF. I AM ALSO A FUCKING HUMAN BEING... YOU FUCKS...
That felt good... no... that felt Great...

Well.. what can I say ? doing what I do best... lazing around at home.. and at the same time wanting to spend some time ranting hehehe...
I kinda feel for my sis... been working day and night non stop... Well, I told her that she could quit her Starbucks once she had a full time job in the nursing industry... Yeap.. my sis is gonna be a nurse one day, God-willing. Soo.. come end of the month, I would definitely want to treat her to prolly one of the restaurants in Causeway Point... Seoul Garden or Swenson's or what not... But if I got thru with
you-know-what... well, I'm gonna treat Umi, cocksterous brother of mine and my sis as well...
Been looking at the calendar... boy I didn't realise that time actually flies... Yanie's halfway thru her flying courses at Dubai. I've been in my job for 2 years. I'm single for almost 1 year 3 months now. My sis is ending her Diploma soon. Sigh... could bring me to tears, watching all these events unfold over the years. I've been through soo much in life... thick and thin. Looked at my police photos. Yishun South NPC. It prepared me well to face through life's challenge. But it did not prepare me to go through separation from the one dear to my heart. I need time, courage and patience to go through that. Still finding it hard to do so as the days go by... but managed to keep my life busy. Work is not the same anymore, knowing that there are people who hates you for being you. But that's life. You can never please everybody. Only God can do that. Even so, people can't be pleased about themselves...
As the days go by, I've not been doing what I've should be doing. Still trying to grasp hold of my life before I start again. I know, He have always been there for me. Listening, understanding, making it happening. God. I really prayed that I would not forget him as He would never forget me. He gave me bliss every Friday. Every time when I walked into His house, I felt like crying. Felt soo powerless, helpless, but yet have the strength to do things, think, execute your day to day activities. It is God's will. Do not forget Him folks. He never forgets you.
8 days more... Dear God... Help me through this...

Haiz.. been feeling at my all time low today... Work related issues... Trying very hard to move on and not get affected by all that... It was easier in the past... now... *sigh*...
Well, decided to go to the same place that I went for lunch yesterday. It is the hawker centre opposite Al-Amin Mosque along Telok Blangah Way. Bear in mind that I am in no way, affiliated or related to this stall that I am going to recommend to you.
I had lunch at this stall, "Noordima Malay Food Stall". It sells the usual nasi padang, but the local dishes are
almost as good as mum's cooking ! God, the
ayam masak lemak, and the
ikan tenggiri masak lemak are my favourite dishes, along with
telor dadar (fried eggs well mixed up with chilli and onions and what not),
bagedil (fried mashed potato rolled up into balls coated with eggs, heh)... pure bliss for anyone who is feeling down and hungry. To top it all up, one
teh tarik (tea poured at elevated heights) at the end of a sumptuous meal could almost just erase your negativity...
Hang out with Ariff yesterday. I sure hope that one of these days Ben.. oh Ben.. could join us in hanging out with us... My luck with lady spotting these past few days since the new year has been great soooo far... Been checking out ladies and SURPRISINGLY
(please do not label me as "perasan or shiok sendiri", thank you) being returned the favour by some of the ladies too ! Hmm... must be my new Swoosh (though if its something else would be very nice). Well, anyways, feels kinda nice once in a while to be checked out.... instead of me doing the checking out all the time... yummy...
Anyways, Yanie's roomie is back ! I sincerely, earnestly, wishfully hope that she doooo introduce her to me... Hehehe...
11 days more...

Hehe... welcome back folks !
Well, so far, this week (till now, that is) have been kind to me. Finally being able to clear up work :-) Means more time to plan for week three of the month. Kinda keeps me off THE stress haha... I am required to conduct refresher courses for my peers at work :-) . Well, good opportunity for me to really get my brain up and running again...
Went to ABC Brickworks at Jln Bukit Merah for lunch today. Nothing much has changed since I last went there... prolly 2 months ago I think. The food was usually sumptuous. The grass jelly uncle asked me "long time no see". I casually replied him reservist. Heh... Well, the trip there was worth the noon sun, cause I see LOTSA (and I mean lotsa) ladies around ! God... for the past few days, ladies have been popping around in front of my eyes lately... hmm.. maybe I think its time that I finally sheath out my bow and cupid arrows and see if I struck any love buds out there hahaha...
After work I then bought my contact lenses... finally... Last Friday it was sold out. Jus accompanied my sis to get hers... haha... says that she needs to give them a try as her glasses might be a hassle in her job... Was fun watching her putting them on for the first time... Hah...
Anyways, on my way back, I stumbled upon my football buddy Yong Xi during my hey-days. We did some yakking about jobs and transportation and stuff. He never changed a bit since secondary. Reminds me of the few good times I had during that time...
My sis got back from attachment and got screwed by her Star*toot*s store manager... Hah.. if you ask me, that is just a total screw up. Improper planning and lack of good communication to employees contributed to this. I just told my sis not to get so worked up by this. She just smiled and shrugged it off. Yeah.. way to go Mazeeks... But I wouldn't want to give her a defibrillator at this point of time or she might go in a zapping frenzy hahahaha.... COCKSTEROUS...
13 days more folks...

Heh.. sorry for the recent emo outburst folks.
Apparently, that is what happened when you are stressed and worked out on both fronts. Personal and professional. Usually, when I am bummed out at work, I will turn to someone. Now that someone is no longer there anymore, I kinda felt trapped in between. Haha... maybe thats what happened when you switch off your brains for 2 weeks. Well, would like to thank someone at work I used to call "kambing". Knocked some sense into me. Would like to tell her that it was a false alarm and I am sane again... And of course, would also like to thank "Mickey".. haha you know who you are... just couldn't resist calling you that haha... Seems that my brain needs 2 working days to start catching up with work again...
Anyways, accompanied my cocksterous sister to Queensway to buy shoes. Boy was she excited ! She couldn't make up her mind as to what she would want to buy. So, I lend her a hand and sort of psych her into buying nike shoes... Haha.. I can almost see her falling for that... I mean, who would want to spend S$120 bucks on some shoe named after an animal... and its *toot* ugly too... Congratulations to her for making a great choice and choosing even an better shoe... :-) Yeap.. no need to thank me... I just love my Swoosh...
Well, I didn't bother counting down the days to "that"... Just preparing to be ready for it, lots of praying for it, and of course, attending the revisions with utmost seriousness... Heh... 15 more days folks....

20 days more till the big day... no more chicken-ing out of this one. I started the year pretty well. Must end this month with a bang as well... God-willing.
Wow, only my first day at work and already I end it with a huge headache. Lotsa thinking needs to be done to tackle work issues. I also feel lost at certain things that I need to do. Thankfully, an angel asked me questions and incredibly, I managed to churn out the correct answers, thus giving my job knowledge hidden in me a jump start... Sigh... Sumtimes my small little minced heart do ask why are all the nice ones taken... Why God.. WHY...
Barely 8 days into the new year, already I am raging war with my unpredictable emotions and feelings.. I pray to God everyday to give me strength and courage to overcome my daily turmoils and challenges... God-willing...
Tomorrow is another day... Lets hope that lightning does not strike twice on the same spot on both fronts now...

Hello Folks !
Woohoo ! It has been awhile since I've lasted posted anything here. Well, lets just say life caught up with me. Went to reservist for 2 weeks starting from the last week of December 2007 up to the first week of January 2008.
I promised myself that I would a review of 2007 for myself. Well, here are the highlights.
Work advancement
- Hah, more of a bigger dartboard. I would like to thank the team for all the support that they have rendered to me. I will try my best not to screw things up and be there for you folks through thick or thin. Heh, not sure of the thick anymore.. but oh well, life goes on.
Breaking up... again
- The stupidity of some people... The inability of some people to just pick up from where they left and move on in their lives.
Third party
- Well, screwed up one person's love life. Almost did with another. Got to learn not to succumb to emotions and go around screwing up people's lives.
Being nice
- People always have this erronous perception of me hoping for something out the goodness that I do to people. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you that good guys still exist in this world and not only in the movies.
Platonic relationship
- Yes, it does exist. After the breakup, maybe I found strength in doing this... Hopefully I can do this better in 2008 hahaha...
Driving
- Well, sometimes when your heart is not set to doing something at that moment, you just don't want to carry on with it, knowing the outcome of it. Well, I did what most people wouldn't expect me to do and postpone the final evaluation. Well, lets just hope that it will bear dividends later on eh...
Aahh... I think that's it. Of course there are minor minor details that I may have missed out. Maybe thats what they are. Minor details.
Not actually looking forward to work on Tuesday... Sigh.. prolly gotten used to the emptyness of reservist. My mind is at total ease... Life is simple. During rest periods, we spent time the old fashioned way. Yak abt our lives, some of them married life. Driving tips haha. Played carrom. For those who don't know, its some sort of a cheaper version of pool or snooker, with your fingers as your cue stick and try to hit the seeds into the holes with the striker. Hahah... I can't help but smiling to myself every time I woke up at 5.30am in the morning. It lifts the entire bulk of issues that I have in my life. The feeling of freedom... Reservist sorts of re-boots your mind.. maybe wanting you to prepare for the issues that lie ahead of your life, perhaps ?
Well, during the new year's eve off days, instead of heading down to town (which is congested with human and vehicular traffic...), managed to sneak some time with Ariff and Ben to catch the fireworks display at... WOODLANDS ! Oh my God, it was up close and personal ! They were spectacular. Ariff uploaded a video of it, including "commentary". I apologise for the excessive vulgarities in it... But was soo excited about watching it so close... Jus check it out... The best part is, it is just 2 blocks away from my house... talk about starting the year with a BANG ! They say that the year would go better if you start it well... lets see how it goes...
Happy Belated NEW YEAR !
