MRT no petrol ah?

No, its not your typical excuse to give when you are late. Apparently the MRT I was on today "broke down" because one of it's 48 doors refused to close, resulting in a 15min delay on a train packed no other than a can of sardines similar to that of Tokyo's rush hour. The staff all tried frantically to...

Then there was a Malay wedding ceremony Sheena had to attend before picking her up for dinner, & man do we have to drive like almost an hour or so before getting to Sembawang where the wedding is held... aka the-other-end-of Singapore as we know it. Luckily we were rewarded with some baryani rice, mutton & chicken from her...

Non-Biodegradable Plastic!

Had been sometime since I went out grocery shopping with my parents (its like 2 years or so, since I left the army) so why not join them over the week at our usual nearby neighborhood NTUC fairprice.

The day ended with a short Q&A with our EL teacher, Mr Wong Sim Ming, otherwise known as "ahkao"given his rather funny pun on "ahkao hui lia!" (Ahkao come back!). Mr Low, our tutor finally released out thermo class test results yesterday, in a rather cartoony manner too, flashing results with him blocking half of the over head projector's...

National Day 2005

Its the patriotic time again - flags hanging high on our trademark HDB estates, people walking around like mini flag poles planted on their bags, or simply wearing red & white, motorcyclists riding around with flapping flags. Whether it my battalion giving free army rides to the public/marshaling at jurong east, or my platoonmates selling watches at the marina...

HMV Opening at SP?

Just when you think SP is already full of commerical stalls, like Pizza Hut, Popular, KFC, Macdonalds, Resturants, Travel agencies, Bakeries & Print services, not to mention our 6 food courts, wait till they open a HMV branch here. It came as a surprise when some students approached me in campus asking me to help & participate in a...

Oakleys are in!

A call came from a rather excited John (aka yohn) early this week telling me that the "remaining" oakleys we've ordered are in already from shipment. Finally! so as I thought. We actually intended to drop by yesterday, but Lt Jason, our "sales rep cum oakley order slave" was on leave, so it was called off. We were crazy...
