Vertical Marathon 2005

Well its competition time again, a time to participate & compete for the fun of it. This time, its the swissotel vertical marathon. Responses to this year's event was so overwhelming that registrations have to be closed a month early. Luckily for me & my team we registered early. Met tiwazz, a SGrunner at the swatch shop...

Free Coffee! no wait! Chalet!

And free flow it was at NTUC BM, yesterday while doing grocery shopping. Haha the thing about us Singaporeans is to pounce onto anything we see free. What else the best things in the world are free right? lol aha.. ya if you wondering why am I grocery shopping again you guess that right if you've been...

Driving License – One year!

It comes a time in Singapore, where a driver will go ultimately go through the ritual to take down the probation plate after obtaining his/her driving license for one year. As scared as it can be as putting it up initially, its a day I had been long counting down too... haha! YEA BABY! its time! Today!...

1 Cockroach = 2 Free Dishes

Well, thats the case this evening at the Breeks cafe, HabourFront. I ordered my usual double servings of fish & chips + baked rice while dad got his chicken thigh set, Sheena with her baked pasta & mum with her chicken baked rice. Everyone was happily eating when I started on my 2nd serving - baked rice...

Visit to grans *Burp*

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...

Funny Nintendo Revolution Advert

Yea we all know that Sony's out with their PS3 next year, answering that too will be Microsoft's Xbox360, both spotting wireless controllers, new processors, engine & such. But I guess nothing much can offer the interactivity the Nintendo Revolution offers. In place of the all standard game controller is a rather unique "TV remote" styled controller...

Sheares Bridge Run/AHM 2005 Photos

Its finally out, the photos of the Sheares Bridge Run/AHM 2005 by sportsphotoX.com. I can't search the photo archive by names, but only by our bib numbers. Furthermore, it took them about one week before all the pictures came online, just like the previous Newbalance RealRun. Did a search & the 2 here are the best I've...

The week recaptionation

Last week was peak exam week, so we only go back to school for papers. Its like back-to-back days on the "ulu" hours back to school where nobody's up, or down! even the buses all all empty mid afternoon.. On a sidenote, there was some problem with the web server mid week onwards, not allowing me to...

Sheares Bridge Run/AHM 2005

Had wanton mee for breakfast at Redhill Market, as the usual "econo beehoon" store wasn't open so early at 4.30am. Oh well the early bird gets the worm then. Upon reaching the padang, as expected the place was already packed when I was there, not to mention the traffic & carparks there. Pre race: Desposited my bag &...

Prep for Sheares Bridge run/AHM 2005

Today saw a 2.4km time trail for training, after some drills & foot work training. We even got the opportunity to run with our seniors taking the NAPFA test. Though the track team kinda finished even before 20% of the Napfa testees completed... no we are not fast, they are just slow. Clocked in at a disappointing...

Comex 2005

As usual, I am a living proof & verification of Murphy's Law, as typical example today when you are in a rush to meet somebody, traffic jams appear & all traffic lights will turn red when you approach them, DANG late again... Anyway, met up with Lishen & her colleague Danny at Suntec's Macdonalds in the afternoon...

New Balance Real Run 2005

It had been sometime since I woke up to the morning darkness, but today is an exception as the long awaited New Balance Real Run 2005 is on this morning! Had the "econo" Beehoon Horfun + egg for breakfast at Redhill market with dad (who had to go to the market for some groceries) before meeting the...

“Sakaed” at Sakae Sushi

We came in empty but left walking out with our arms behind our backs like pregnant women. If you guessed "buffet" you are right. Just say "we" as a class went straving since lunchtime till 3pm, when we finally arrived at Westmall, Bukit Batok where we chomped to our hearts delight till 5pm. For a student rate...

NTU X Campus Run

Met up with Erick, Darius & the rest of the track gang at Dover MRT to gather & make our way to NTU , where the annual X Campus run was held. We alighted at Boonlay where we took service 179 to the campus itself. Estimated each college & polytechnic sent in at least 1 team...
Interesting Stuffs

Having too much time on the net…

Got back home earlier today as theres no track training for those competiting tomorrow. It's more or less a rest day for us in prep for the X Campus run. So I went around catching up on my surfing at home & I came across this online IQ/EQ tests. Haha as we all know, such online tests...

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. Overall I have to comment on the rather pleasant shopping experience fairprice has offered over the years, even till...

Electro scoring

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...

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...

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...
