Music playing in d backgrnd: "train has left" by jay chou

My first book-in 2dae.
We were lucky we’re not being confined dis wknd.
It had been a tradition 2b confined for d first wk of training.
On fri I took my basic theory test n I passed (together w/ 10 other regulars from my course).
Nxt fri we’ll be taking our final theory.
Once we pass both tests, it’s time to start our practical lessons.
Every wed, fri n sat.
I really hope I’ll be able to get dis driving license while on dis course cos It’ll be a benefit for me not onli now but also in d future.

in d mood for rayer!

Music playing in d backgrnd: "love will lead u back" by taylor dayne

I’m back!
I noe I’ve been gone for like 2 weeks alrdy…
Or maybe more than dat?when I wuz in Bangkok I wanted to go to an internet café so dat I cld update my blog but d rate in my hotel (asia hotel) is cheap.
100 baht = S$4 for an hr!
moreover we were always going here n there, shopping, kai-kai, clubbing, going to ago-go clubs.
Toking bout clubbing, there wuz one sundae (oct02) we went to a club dat is shaped like a spaceship.
On normal days, it’s a str8 club but on sun, it’s gay nite.
(juz like onyx (formerly known as centro), happy, venom/chinablack n d associates).
D feeling inside is so diff as compared to dat in a normal “thai club”.
Most of d clubs in bangkok r so sleazy, smoky, dark but “bed supperclub” wuz totally a diff experience.
I guess d patrons r better dressed n there’s even a valet service.
How many clubs in bkk can u get dat?

TODAE IT’S alrdy d 6th dae of ramadhan (fasting mth) .
How time flies.
In a week’s time I’ll be in camp alrdy.
Oh ya…. Last nite ael, joseph, sunny n myself went down to d geylang serai bazaar juz to sibuk².
Ael n myself ended up buying a pair of baju kurung each.
He chose a black pair while I chose a white one.
They cost $290 for 2 pairs, after much bargaining dat is.
I noe it’s more ex than wat a normal pair of baju kurung wld cost but it’s diff from whose normal ones.
U noe me lah, always wanting something diff from others.
Once a gay, always a gay.
So here I am, all prepared for hari rayer.

i'm leaving on a jet plane

Music playing in d backgrnd: "un-break my heart (remix)" by toni braxton

At least it now feels personalized as compared to d default skins.

So since I wuz there, she helped me on how to go bout changing my blogskin.
Thx mate!

Music playing in d backgrnd: "my luv is ur luv" by whitney houston

I’ve juz came back from kl 2 days ago n I’m off to Bangkok in 2 days’ time.

I went to kl w/ ab. Dzul (bro-in-law), nenek bibah (dzul’s mum), adli (nephew) n my dearest mum.
We took d nite train to kl from jb on sept 22, 2345hrs.
arrived in kl on sept23, 0700hrs.
In kl, we went to sunway laggon, jln², makan n d hi-lite of d trip wuz to go to sepang n watch d motoGP 2005.
2b honest w/ u I wuz nvr interested in such race but watchg d event live changed my perspective of it.
I can nvr 4get d adrenaline rush, the anxiety, the loud, loud sound of the engines….
It wuz truly an xperience I’ll nvr 4get.
One more point to add is dat when u watch it on tv, d race seems so freaking long n draggy but it’s a totally diff feeling when watchg it live.
The 21 laps seem like onli 10 laps.
Mum n nek bibah didn’t join us on our trip to sepang.
Instead they stayed at “home” n kept each other co.
Home refers to d service apt which ab kamsol (my bro) had reneted for 4D3N.
Ab kamsol wuz like our personal chauffer when we were in kl cos he stays there.
It wuz really sweet of him to sacrifice his time, money n PETROL to bring us ard.

In 2 days’ time, I’ll be flying off to bkk w/ my dear sunny, dvd, ael n joseph.
Coincidentally it will be sunny’s last dae of werk w/ jalpak.
Dvd n sunny will definitely shop for home décor stuff but I’ll go w/ d flow….
If I see smthg nice, I’ll buy.
If not, juz enjoy d trip.

Current state of mind: pathetically blank
Music playing in d backgrnd: 'COnga" by gloria estefan

Hmmm….. wat I write, or type, bout?
dunno leh…
My mind is blank…
Juz wasting d dae away.
It has been a veri lazy sundae.
So wat shall I say?

Ok, I’ve got something on my mind alrdy.
Rem I told u we were going to NAB to celebr8 for Amanda for getting a job?
I wuz under d age requirement (i.e. 23 y/o) cos we didn’t get in.
So we went to cocolatte.
It wuz too early, ard 2130hrs, n d crowd wasn’t there yet.
So we took a walk to phuture n so we ended up there.
*we = Amanda, diane n myself.
Auba joined us in phuture.
Hamza, sab, arjun, shamil n others whom I dunno where there too.
But they left b4 us.
D 4 0f us (* + auba) stayed till d club closed ard 5 am.
I rem me being so hungry ard 3++ am cos I had an early dinner d dae b4, ard 5pm.
It wuz due too much drinking I guess.
“screwdriver” + we opened a bottle of jim beam.
So I went to d deli hoping there were hotdogs or any other snacks still available.
But d onli food left wuz nachos.
Nachos pun jadik la.
At least there wuz somethg to fill up my stomach.
I requested d dj 2 play “my boo” n he gestures ok by showing his thumb up.
So we were anticipating bout it but he didn’t play d song even till club closed.
Amanda n myself were terribly disappointed cos DAT’S OUR SONG!
Nevertheless, we had fun n njoyed ourselves.

Wuz reading thru my emails n a fren sent me dis… so I tot I’ll juz share it w/ u ppl .

Okay, Okay, it *finally* all makes sense now... I never looked at it this way before: MENtal illness
MENstrual cramps
MENtal breakdown
MENopause
GUYnocologist
AND
When woMEN have REAL trouble, it's a HISterectomy.
Ever notice how all of women's problems start with MEN?

it's time to celebrate!

I’ve gotta tok 2 both my sisters bout being my guarantors for me 2 sign on n arrange a dae when both of them can make it to go down to hq scdf to sign d form.
I’ll prob be going down to new asia bar 2nite to celebr8 w/ Amanda for getting a job.
She has got a job as a horticulturist @ republic poly.
Looking forward to see d rest of d “gang” esp blacky n of cos d main star, Amanda.
Yesterdae I bought a ceramic crucifix which could be hanged on d wall for her as both a “grad n congrats on getting a new job” gift.
I bought it from a shop dat sells eccentric n unusual stuff, mainly for home décor.
It’s called “sisters’ dream”, located near my fire stn.
Wheneva sunny n myself go there, it’s always closed but I guess we were lucky dat it wuz opened yesterdae.
we were there w/ael, after suntanning @ bedok swimming complex.

Music playing in d backgrnd: "luv dun cost a thing ( rj schyard remix)" by j.lo feat fat joe

I feel so sleepy but I dun wanna waste d dae away by going back to sleep.
I juz came back frm hving my lunch @ d market nearby.
I had rice w/ limpa (cow’s liver), sambal goreng, telor asen (salted duck egg) n asam pedas gravy.
Wat a heavy lunch… no wonder I’m so sleepy.
I went alone cos ivan wuz to go out to town to meet up w/ anwari I think.
After makan, I dev d pix Amanda burned for me in a disc.
Pix of d new yr party, farewell party 2005, outing to sentosa, her grad dae part, sushi @ sake sushi, clubbing @ momo, etc.
Bought a new extendable metallic pole to hang clothes.
Our previous dropped to ground floor frm d height of 19th floor.
If d pole wuz human, it’d hv been dead.
N bought a can of starch for hardening d collars of our shirts when ironing them.
I’m so particular bout collars being “hard” after I entered NS.
I also bought a “music book”.
It’s meant to write scores in it cos It comes w/ musical scales.
but I’m juz gonna make it as a scrap book to paste all those misc lyrics which I write when I get inspired esp when I’ve so much anger or hate dat’s bottled up in me.
Yesterdae I wuz inspired to write one cos I wuz inspired by 2 issues.

gwen stefani. I finally bought dat album of hers which is purely her solo effort, not w/ her band, no doubt. Many of her tracks hv mentions of japan, harajuku, Tokyo. I juz cant wait to go 2 japan in apr nxt yr which will b d one-weel break after my passing-out-parade b4 settling down to d stn I’ll be posted to. I always had d dream to go to japan since I wuz a kid. So fascinated by d fashion, lifestyle, wackiness, mambo-jambo of d ppl of there.

I wuz watching yesterdae’s episode of america’s nxt top model. The task of d remaining 7 contestants wuz to represent d 7 deadly sins individually. But d coolest thing wuz dat they had to be in a casket n be buried deep inside d burial hole. How much “cooler” cant dat be? I’m so into gothic stuff n old castle charm nowadays. I juz luv d mysteries n gothicness of these kinda stuff. I even paint my fingernails black. Must d influences of my chemical romance, good charlotte n d gang.

So here’s wat I wrote last nite…it’s juz a draft.

I feel so inspired
After listening to her
She n her harajuku gals
Inspired to do anything
Anything dat pleases me
Anything dat makes me happy

I’m so proud of myself
Proud of who I am
N d things I have
Things dat I like
Like dead corpses n a haunted castle
Things dat others dun like
Dat makes me diff frm d rest

I wanna take a photo in a coffin
Imagine… how I look when I’m dead
Maybe appear in my chemical romance’s video
It must be cool
N see how it goes
So long n gd nite….

i felt good

It wuz like d “amazing race” but to happen onli in Chinatown.
I really had fun n it wuz an eye opener for rafiq who had nvr been to Chinatown.
2 of d items incl 2 gay-related stuff (i.e. d faded rainbow flag outside backstage, d sign of “raw” sauna). Ha²!
If I wuz not able to snap those 2 photos, I dunno wat 2 say.
However, some of d clues given were so diff to understand.
(eg. Temple st – I cool, u hot, pls off ur engine)….
so wat can u conclude frm dat?

So many things 2 look forward to.

Budak² jepon* came to town

2005-09-07T22:53:00.000-07:00

*literally translated in malay, it means jap kids.

Dis afternoon sunny came back w/ 4 jap students.
They’re here in spore for some xchange prog.
They’re uni students majoring in tourism.
Mas, if u’re reading dis I’m sure it’ll bring back memories of ur poly days.
There were 3 gals –akiko
-sakura
-do’on
and 1 guy – kenta-san.
They’re juz one group out of 7 groups.
D other groups “went back” w/ theire own individual so-called guide.
Anwari wuz involved in dis prog too.
D task of d guide is to xplain to these jap kids on the lifestyle n d housing system here in s’pore.
So they hv to bring these students back to their individual home 2 let them see n feel how it is staying in s’pore.
If they stay in d western side of spore then too bad lah… these students hv 2 travel veri far.(i.e anwari who is staying in bt. Panjang)
After chit-chatting for bout one hr @ our place, sunny n myself brought them to bedok interchange to “look see, look see”.
Let them hv a taste of “keropok lekor” n they lurrvved it so much.
Coincidentally there’s a pasar malam happening over there.
They badly wanted to get a “merlion” tee to bring back hm as souveniers but we didn’t come across any.
So I guess they’ve gotta get those tees from town or d famous lucky plaza which has loads of “Singapore” or “merlions” goodies.
Close to 1800hrs, they had to return to their hotel @ pan pacific.
They took a cab n dat wuz d end of our short n fun encounter.
As for sunny, he earned $150 as a commission.
Not bad for 4-5 hrs of “werk” rite?

But It wont happen again nxt yr cos he wont be werking for Jalpak anymore as it is closing its doors at d end of dis mth.
N sunny is going for an interview to werk at cold storage after he leaves Jalpak, tmr @ simpang bedok. (shop n save).
Shop n save is under d management of cold storage now.

Last nite ivan came back ard 1930hrs.
He touched down @ 1830hrs.
Louise n kong didn’t join us for dinner, as apposed to wat we expected.
Ironically we xpected them not join us either.
Louise is a sporting guy, unlike kong.
Dis dun wan, dat dun wan.
Susah (difficult) la!
Those who were here for dinner were dvd, ael, joseph, sunny, me, ivan n cheng.

Ivan is going to balek kampong l8r in d evening.
Really balek kampong cos his kampong is at muar.
It’s A village in d state of johor.(msia)

Waiting for sunny 2 return from werk ..
Then we can go running @ bedok stadium together.
N maybe hv horfun or fried bee hoon for dinner… d usual.
Or maybe meet up w/ dvd for dinner.
He asked d both of us to join him @ ikea but my dear wants to do some exercise (ie. Running).
I personally would choose to go running too rather than hang ard outside, hv coffee n smoke smoke smoke.
Veri unhealthy lifestyle I noe.

Been hibernating….

I’ve not been updating my blog again.
I’m juz too lazy to go online sometimes.
Aniwae, I’ve selected to join d nxt batch of ERS in oct.
My course starts 18 oct, exactly one dae after I get back my pink iC.
Alhamdullilah (thk gdness), my application 2 sign on is successful.
I’m going 2b a regular, no longer an NSF.
Wat a joke.
I used to mock at ppl who sign on after their NS.
Now dat I’ve gone thru ns myself n matured a lil, I now see d rationale behind it.

Ivan is cming bck from Bangkok later in d evening.
He flew there last fri w/
louise (a Londoner, angmoh, 40y/o)
kong ( fellow msian, louise’s bf, 28y/o)

they will come over here (bedok) for dinner n maybe stay a while for some drinks.
Ivan will be going back 2 his hometown @ muar while louise n kong will go back to kl.
All 3 going back to msia tmr.

He arrived on aug22.
Dat nite all sistas had a big dinner 2gether @ d kopi shop near our plc.
Ael, dvd, sunny, cheng, myself n even mohan (surprise² ) were ard.

Shin went to tioman w/a female jap fren for 3D2N.

Amanda came back from aussie on aug24 for good.
She arrived ard 0530hrs.
N D BEST THING, NO ONE CAME 2 FETCH HER.
NOT EVEN HER PARENTS.
SO SHE WENT BACK ALONE N WUZ OK W/ IT.
SHE HAS BECOME SO INDEPENDENT.
YEAH!

Went for ORD function 2dae (aug25) @ cdans, bt batok
Aniwae it’s no longer called cdans.
It’s now known as hometeamNS clubhse.

Tuesday, August 09, 2005
i don get it .....
like i don have enuff of my own problems, now i get me frens gettin upset just cos i don mention their name in my blogs...hmmm i wonder whats happening? is it me changin or they just being sensitive. i really don get it and if ur reading this then u know who u are and all i can say is that like ive mentioned i cant stop the way u feel about things but u really surprise me by your email and reaction cos i never expected u to behave in this way and i also think the email was uncalled for. if u thought that i don care and shit like that then all i can say what then is all the phone calls that i bother to make mean??? i can don call for the entire time im away but i still do call me frens cos i miss them and cos they my frens... hmmm seriously u shocked me n kinda made me angry but i hope all over n see what happens when i get back.

y couldnt she juz mention dat it wuz me?!
n for everybody else's info, i really did dat n i'm not ashamed to admit it.
i guess i wuz feeling damn period @ dat time.
to mandz, i apologise cos i noe i hurt ur feelings.
i rather hv frenz dat tell me d truth than hide things from me.
nevertheless, i'd luv 2 still be a fren of urs n now d choice is urs.
i shall be not childish n go "dun be like dat lah, y u nvr fren me?".....

n to mas... thx for adding a link to my blog...
i'm really surprised u took notice of it.

2 more days to my interview….

2005-08-15T22:37:00.000-07:00

B4 I start, I must tell u dat d of us ended up not watchg Charlie n d choc factory.
Pls refer to ….. 8 aug's entry.
All d slots b4 1630 hrs had been fully booked.
Since it wuz d eve of a PH, I’m pretty sure d shows were booked by d school kids.
If we were to watch d 1630hrs show we wouldn’t hv enuff time cos adli has to be back hm by 2000hrs.
Cah wuz going to bring him out to kak peah’s (her sis-in-law’s) hse.

Niwae our “nation” party went well.
Those dat came were Anwari, cheng, dvd, ael n joseph.
I dint expect them 2 stay till morning. (10 aug)
Dvd left ard 5 am cos he had to go back 2 get his barang² as he had 2 werk morng shift dat dae.
As for the other “fantastic 4” they waited for d 1st bus/ train n left our plc ard 6am.
So happening ah?!

2 more days to my interview….
I really hope n pray dat my application to sign on is successful.
I need 2 get a job soon cos there’s rumours dat sunny will be retrenched at d end of nxt mth.
His co. is definitely retrenching their staff n he could be one of them….
Onli god noes.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

2005-08-08T11:51:00.000-07:00

Is it d name of dat movie?
Yes, it is.

here's d synopsis of d movie....
Charlie Bucket, a boy from an impoverished family under the shadow of a giant chocolate factory, wins a candy bar contest and is given a tour, along with four other children, of the amazing factory run by the eccentric Willy Wonka and his staff of Oompa-Loompas.
Genres: Musical/Performing Arts and Science Fiction/Fantasy
Running Time: 1 hr. 46 min.
MPAA Rating: PG for quirky situations, action and mild language.
Distributor: Warner Bros. Pictures
Cast and Credits
Starring: Johnny Depp, Freddie Highmore, David Kelly, Helena Bonham Carter, Deep Roy
Directed by: Tim Burton

N I’m watchg d show w/ my sis (kak siti) n my nephew, adli l8r at 1600hrs.
For d record adli is my 1st sis (cah) kid not kak siti’s.
Kak siti’s not married yet.

We planned to watch d 1130 show but kak siti sms-ed me dis morng saying dat she’s got a headache n postponed our plan, onli to watch d show @ 1600hrs.
Therefore we’re meetg @ 1500hrs at tampines bus interchange.

She’ll be bringing adli n after d show, I’ve got to send adli home cos she wanna go for her workout @ d gym.
Her gym is @ PPIS , joo chiat.
PPIS is abbreviation for persatuan perempuan islam singapura, meaning it’s an association for d muslim women in spore.

Sunny n myself r having a small gathering @ our plc w/ our sistas, tmr being a public holidae.
We’re hving our own “Nation” party.
Wat’s a nation party?
It’s a yearly party held on national day eve, usually @ sentosa island.
It’s a party organized for d GLBT community by fridae.com.
GLBT stands for gay, lesbian, bisexual n transgender.
Dis year all gay parties hv been banned thx for d “open-mindedness” of d govt.
They dun wan ppl like us to promote gayism.
C’mon la, we’re alrdy in d new millennium n such mentality still exists.
No matter how much we progress in economy tourism, Singapore will still b an ASIAN country if dis mentality carries on.
Look @ most European countries, ppl r so open to gays n lesbians.
In here, lesbians r more tolerated but wat bout us, d male counterparts?!

I’m worried if anything happens 2 her as she’s not getting any younger.

2005-08-06T19:01:00.000-07:00

I’m back frm jb.
Must b wonderg y I suddenly went to jb?(for those readg dis n thinkg “where d hell is jb?”’, it’s johor bahru, d nearest m’sian state to s’pore)

Here’s d story, my mum wanted 2 relax @ her own hse in jb (tmn sri putri).
cah will not b werkg for d next 4 days, i tink.
As 2dae is a wknd n d public hol (s’pore’s national dae = independence dae) is approachg, I’m veri sure many ppl r entering both s’pore n m’sia.
Many ppl means a big crowd, rite?I’m worried if anything happens 2 her as she’s not getting any younger.
(she’s 65 dis yr, btw)
Dat’s one character of my mum’s which I truly adore, she’s so independent dat she always goes in n out of s’pore on her own esp to jb.
I’m worried if anything happens 2 her as she’s not getting any younger.
>> true enuff, d escalator @ d s’pore immigration ctr ( entering m’sia) were both down.
>> if it was not 4 me, dear mum would hv not known dat’s a lift nearby.
>> when I looked @ d veri inclined steep, I knew my mum wouldn’t b able 2 climb d
stairs w/o any difficulty.
>> in my heart, I’m juz glad I wuz there 4 her.
We were 2gether all d way to larkin.
Had our lunch there. (we skipped breakfast).
I bought m’sian ciggies (it’s so much cheaper there) n a copy of KLUE.
KLUE is a mag dat features life in KL n places where Klites lurve to hang out.
It’s somewat like JUICE mag dat features nitelife, food, FASHION, music, junks, etc.
I always buy an issue of KLUE whneva I go over to m’sia but it’s been a few mths I went over, either I’m too bz or juz plain lazy.
Aniwae, after lunch I made sure Mum has boarded d bus to our jb hse b4 I head back 2 spore.
I dun wanna stay there tho I hv all d time in d world.
I’ll feel bored cos everything there is so far n I’ll feel isolated frm d world.
I need a car! But b4 dat I need my car license!
Besides, my aunt (mak oteh) is there @ our jb hse so mum has company so we’re (her children) not worried.

something to share...

2005-08-05T10:45:00.000-07:00

2nd entry in a dae....

juz tot of sharing w/u on d intro i put up bout myself in fridae. com

halo...thx for reading dis msg n taking ur time to have a look @ my profile...i m a guy from s pore looking for gay frenz all over da world...i wanna expand my circle of gay frenz cos i tink my circle of str8 frenz is big enuff already....my race is malay but i tink i m more indonesian.... my dad wuz from indonesia n my mum wuz from malaysia....so dat makes me 1st generation of s pore citizenship.... a lot of ppl say i dun look s porean....not too sure of dat tho...there wuz even a cab driver who tot i m jap...niwae it s up2u to decide...hope to hear from u soon... -tim-

wat's fridae.com?
it's a gay site in which u can "advertise" urself to make new frenz or even 2 look for someone for sex.
here, if u're curious to see wat's inside.
c'mon take a peek.

“I guess down there I’ve got my own room n dat’s wat I call personal space.”

2005-08-05T10:12:00.000-07:00

Waitg 4 d laundry 2b done.
Wat kind of laundry? rugs n cloths used 4 wiping. (kain buruk)
After hanging out d laundry 2b dried, I then can take a shower n prepare myself 2 go bck 2 my mum’s plc.
Feeling kinda xcited 2 go bck to mum’s plc cos dat’s where I can really relax n find a piece of mind.
I guess down there I’ve got my own room n dat’s wat I call personal space.
Here @ sunny’s plc, everything is shared among d both of us n everything here seems like an open concept.
I guess dat’s how “marriage life” is??
Hving to adapt 2 each other’s character n nonsense cos u luv d other party so deeply dat u dun wanna hurt him in any way.
Veri contrary to dis statement “I guess down there I’ve got my own room n dat’s wat I call personal space.” Ya?
Keeping my fingers crossed dat someone, anyone would ask me out 4 clubbing cos 2nite is a fri nite!
If no one asks me out, then I shall juz remain @ hm n spend time w/ my dear mum.
Toking bout my mum, I cant wait 4 dae when I earn enuff 2 bring her for a holiday.

She made her international passport back in ’02 but has nvr traveled out of m’sia or s’pore.
Moreover it’s damn ex to produce a passport in m’sia.
It cost RM300 n dat’s equivalent to S$150.
Furthermore, dat passport is onli valid for 5 yrs (as compared to s’pore, it’s 10 yrs).
Once expired u either xtend for another 5 yrs or get a new one.
N dat’s another RM300.
No wonder my relatives frm both m’sia n indo nvr come 2 s’pore 2 visit us.
It’s damn costly to get a passport.
We, s’poreans shld count our lucky stars for dat.

FYI, my family is d onli one in s’pore.
My aunties, uncles, cousins, etc from both my parents’ side r either in m’sia or indo.
My late dad wuz from java n my mum is frm johor.
So dat makes me n my 2 sisters d 1st generation of s’poreans in my family.
I’ve got 3 siblings – 2 sis, 1 bro.
But u noe wat…. My bro is a m’sian too.
He wuz born when my mum went back 2 her own village in sg. Balang.
Dat’s in btw batu pahat n muar.
So dat’s d story on how my bro is a m’sian.
He’s currently stayg in KL, waitig for his hse 2b done w/ d renovation.

Wat to do w/ myself?

2005-08-04T21:48:00.000-07:00

3 days after I started clearg my leave.
My rota is on duty 2dae.
I called tamp n loyang fp juz to “kacau” tem
Kacau = disturb in malay.
Tried calling p.ris fp but nobody picked up.
Guess they’re out 4 call.
Called c.chee fp but both lines were bz.
Budak² mesti tgh bergantong kat telepon.

Been thinkg wat to do for d nxt 2 mths b4 getting back my pink IC.
If I’m selected to join ERS at least I’ll start my traing in early oct.
If I dun, I better start scouting for a job by then.

Plans I’ve made so far for these 2 mths is to paint one wall @ d living room.
D color sunny has selected is “silvermink” id no. SP 20802 frm ICI dulux.

Maybe, I said maybe sunny, myself n gang r going to Bangkok nxt mth for hols.
Like I said, nothing’s confirmed.

At d present moment, I’m juz lookg forward to 3 things in dis mth.
1. melaka trip
2. ivan cming bck from London, prob on aug18
3. mandz cming back frm aussie, aug24.

Gloomy wed afternoon

2005-08-03T13:09:00.000-07:00

pic of mandz
pic of farhan.

D sky is dark.
D dark clouds r hanging above me.
I can see a heavy rain cming.

All alone @ hm.
Sunny has gone out 2 meet up w/ dvd.
They r going jalan² at river valley.
Dvd is 4eva looking for new furniture or household items.
It can get pretty boring going out w/ them cos dis dvd is super obsessed w/ dis kind of things.
So I rather remain @ hm n juz chill out.
I’m not saying I’m not into home décor but too much of it can kill me.
I rather be looking @ clothes or cd’s or any art stuff.
Furthermore I’ve not come 2 da stage where I can splurge on home décor n besides dat I haven got my own personal crib.
Wait till I get my own hse n voila!
My hse décor style will be rustic which will somehow double up as an “art gallery”.
U noe those kind of shop styles which u see a lot in bangkok or bali or any SEA’n countries.
Or is it call “asian chic” instead of “rustic”?

Bout d KL trip I mentioned yesterdae, I’m not pretty sure whether it’ll still commence cos now rafiq doesn’t wan 2 go.
Farhan would likely still wanna go.
Wat d rest?dun tell me juz d 2 of us going??
Or I shall wait 4 mandz 2 come back 1st n den go for our 2nd trip to KL?
Btw, she is cming to spore on aug24.
Wateva it is, d decision will b made soon, latest by aug11 after our melaka trip.

I’m back….

2005-08-02T12:33:00.000-07:00

… after so long.
I’ve been sick, bz or juz plain lazy 2 get online.
Aniwae now I’m alrdy a yr older so a yr nearer to death? Ha ha!
My bdae celebr8ion wuz a quiet yet enjoyable, one.
Spending d days w/ ppl close to me, my dear “sistas”.
Dvd, ael, jo, anwari, cheng n of cos my saying sunny.
Bong n Fiona (her ex – according to bong) were there too.
Not many presents rcv-ed.
I guess as u grow older d amt of gifts decrease.

Rite now, my clearing my leave (2 mths away from my ORD date –16 oct 2005).
Dis cming 17 aug I’ve got an interview 2 go cos I wanna sign on w/ scdf.
Gotta get a stable job cos I wanna earn my deg or maybe another dip w/ my own hard earned money.
Not gonna depend on my family anymore.
Going to melaka w/ my rota on aug11.
Prob going up to KL w/ farhan n sher after dat.
See how it goes.

2005-07-20T10:50:00.000-07:00

Nvr tot so many ppl wld come down to watch ‘fanstatic 4’.
Bout 17 of us were there to catch d movie. (incl some partners of them, eg. Rico n ella).
Bout 15 ppl were for sheesha.
Even fadzli n wife were there!!
I wuz really surprised!

Juz got paid

2005-07-12T15:53:00.000-07:00

It’s tuesdae n I got, got, got, got paid (singing to d tune of nsync’s “juz got paid”).
My pay for dis mth is $1024.
Thx for d monetary award ($200) for getting “1st class” for REPT last mth.
It’s an award similar to d army’s “marksman’s award”.
I look @ d monetary money as a bdae gift frm scdf.
N dis is my 1st time getting xtra $300 for my fire badge plus hazmat allowance.
Usually I onli get $150 but dis time round I scored an “A” for my HRCT (hazmat responder certification test).
Basic pay is $420.
Fire badge + hazmat is $300.
Meal allowance is $120.
REPT monetary money is $200.
Plus + minus here n there…
Total is $1024.

Going w/ my colleagues to watch “fantastic 4” l8r in d evening n followed by sheesha at arab st l8r @ nite.
Ppl like farhan, fairuz, erico, ella (rico’s gf), hyder, hafeze, sher, hamza, syahrin n maybe more.
It’s been a long time we went for sheesha 2gether.
D last one being ramadhan (muslim’s fastng mth) last nov.
We decided to chill out @ arab st after going to d bazaar @ geylang serai.
Sweet memories….
Back then rico n gang were not in stn yet.
Still @ cda going thru their ffc (firefighter course).
N juzaidi wuz ard (he wuz clearing his leave @ dat time).

I cant wait for my rota’s trip to melaka @ d end of d mth.
Long time nvr go for rota trip n out of d country.
It’s less than 3 mths since I came back frm bali n I alrdy feel so restless not being out of d country.
It must be d “traveller’s bug”.
Always hungry to c d world.

Dvd 4warded me an email Richard (wibi’s bf) sent him.
Here’s how it goes….
> Dear David,> I am sitting in the Sydney Airport getting ready to take "the long one" to Los Angeles (and I am not talking body parts here) . . sigh. But beforeI did, I wanted to be sure to thank you, Sani (not sure I have the spelling right), and Tim for your wonderful hospitality and generosity of time during my Singapore rendezvous with Wibi. One can always measure the friend he has by the friends that friend has - and I think the more of Wibi every time I meet through him the quality and kindness of people like you.> I truly enjoyed spending time with all of you, and much look forward to seeing you again when I come through Singapore in late October - tell Sani to keep his stove warm because I have very high expectations .Ø Speaking of that, however, I also want to say how much I enjoyed the lunch at the Hyatt since it gave me the chance to experience truly "local cuisine." Ø My only regret was that my still slightly "disaasembled" stomach> kept me from enjoying as much of it as I would have liked.> My trip from Singapore to Sydney on "your airline" was great - and I also enjoyed the "stewardesses" on board . . . hehehehe . . . . But in the end, being around those nice Asian men only made me think of my own Asian man all the more .Ø Do take care of yourself, David. Ø And if it is convenient, I would appreciate your passing along a copy of this email to Sani and Tim. Wibi, of course, has asked me to send you his very best and warmestregards.> Very best wishes,> Rick

when he said “sani” he wuz actually referring to my dear sunny.

wknd Trip 2 geylang serai

2005-07-10T16:48:00.000-07:00

1st pic is cheng (taken @ chnagi airport when d group of us went to chiang mai)
2nd pic is cah, ashrin, adli n ab dzul. (taken during aidilfitri 2004)

Dis morng I went to geylang serai w/ cah, ab dzul, adli, ashrin n mum.
As usual d 2 ladies were there to buy fish, prawns n stuff.
Mum had pain in d waist (sakit pinggang) so cah n I went into d wet market to do d shopping.
mum n d rest waited for us at warong (shop) dat we had our brunch.
I smelled of fish frm head to toe. Yucks!
As for those who dunno bout dis, I’m a non-fish eater.
My throat juz cant tolerate fish.
Once I reached hm, I hurriedly took a shower to wash off d smell.
So many ppl, so humid n hot in geylang cos it’s d wknd.
All those makcik’s (elderly women)….

I’m now back in bedok.
Keeping my fingers crossed dat lta. Shah wont call me to retrieve dis n dat like wat happened last wknd. Ha²!
Going to dvd’s plc l8r for dinner.
He has invited sunny, ael, joseph, cheng n myself over cos he’s doing d cooking 2dae.
Not dat sure whether jo n cheng will b there but ael, my saying n myself will definitely b there.
Who doesn’t want free food?!

Unable to start

2005-07-09T12:16:00.000-07:00

from top: auba (born in myammar, spore PR)
Light Fire Attack Vehicle (red rhino)

2dae I came back hm frm werk slightly later than usual.
Usually I’d leave d stn by 100hrs, latest by 1030hrs.
But dis morng I arrived at base (stn) at 1030hrs.
Here’s d story…
Yesterdae I wuz based at chai chee fire post (CCFP).
My crew wuz fadzli, auba, erico n myself.
As per normal, we’d be ready to return to base (RTB) by 0530hrs.
But our LF (red rhino) couldn’t start.
We called d control rm telling them our situation.
They said they’d call for us d contractor/ repairman n even asked for d license no. of d vehicle.
So we went back to “ lala land”. (sleep)
We woke ard 0815hrs onli 2 find out dat d contractor there yet.
Called our stn n asked wat’s going on.
Our watchrm op (khairul) called d contartor for us again.
Still no one arrived ard 0930hrs (way beyond our off_duty hrs).
Slightly after 1000hrs, we tried to on d vehicle again.
Auba tried, I tried n finally erico tried.
N it started!
THANK GOSH!
I SUSPECT IT WUZ BECOS OUR MDT N MRS WERE ON D WHOLE NITE.
(these r communication devices to track d movement or d appliance/vehicle n for us to communicate 2 ctrl rm when we attend to cases, when we move frm one pt to d other n stuff like dat)
afte I off it dis morng den d vehicle wuz able to start.
So dat’s d story y I came back hm frm werk late.

It’s d wknd n as usual; I’d go back to my mum’s plc l8r in d late afternoon.
stay there overnite n come back to bedok tmr.
hopefully i wont rcv any phone call to search for anyhting else like wat happend last wk.
10 more days to my 22nd bdae!

Gone

2005-07-06T22:30:00.000-07:00

Wibi n Richard hv left for Bali n Aussie respectively.
Which part of Aussie?
I cant remember… I onli rem it starts w/ “C”….
Can somebody help me w/ dat?
amanda.. if u reading dis I tink u can help.
1st time meetg Richard dis afternoon n he had to leave in d evening.
Both flights were @ 2030hrs.
Wibi flew by garuda while Richard flew by SIA.
Raffles class some more.
He’s d president of the Red American Association of d United States n he’s a pretty nice guy, full of travel stories to share cos he spends half of his time flyg for dis n dat.
When I wuz @ airport to send them off, I wuz thinkg when will hasan, iqah n mas come back frm Aussie?
Hasan is on a rd trip w/ his frenz frm RI n RJC while fiqah n mas r travelling 2gether to Sydney.
niwae dvd, sunny, wibi, Richard n myself had lunch @ the straits kitchen @ hyatt hotel.
d ambience wuz great but personally I find d food is so-so.
finished lunch ard 1430 n we went jalan² @ orchard rd 4 a while.
We went to isetan (lido).
Wibi wuz seekg for sport shoes but juz couldn’t find anything he likes.
Wat he wuz lookg for wuz smthg more outdated (my personal tots) n he finds the ones he saw wuz juz too “designy” for him.
Well d fashion scene in bali isn’t dat updated like ours in spore.
Next we went to duty free shop, juz beside royal Scotts hotel.
Wibi bought a few “spore” tees n I dunno wat else as souvenirs.
D last destination wuz Far East plaza, prob wibi would find some sport shoes dat he likes.
But negative.
So went went back to Sheraton hotel ard 1600 hrs.
D 3 of us sporeans had drinks @ d lobby while waitg for d luv couple 2 pack up n “other stuff” n they came down @ 1800 hrs.
We went to terminal 1,got wibi to check in (garuda) n then to T2 n got Richard to check in (SIA).
Coffee @ coffee bean b4 they went in.
We all could see the tears in wibi’s eyes cos he’ll b separated w/ his darling again n god noes when they’ll meet again.
As for wibi’s n rich’s pix, I’ll post them up when I get them frm wibi via email.
Cos all d pix were taken using his digi cam.
btw 2dae is my 29-mth anniversary w/ sunny.
luv u lots my baby.

Sunny wanted to apply half dae leave but his assistant is on mc so he’s not able 2 make it to fetch him frm d airport.

I’m still in bedok, going back 2 my mum’s plc in hougang l8r on…maybe ard 3 or 4 pm.
I must get some slp 1st.
Yesterdae I wuz based at pasir ris fire post.
I had veri lil yet interrupted slp.
Watched ‘swat’ on dvd which ended ard 1 am.
Still cldnt slp so I went to d kopi shop nearby n bought a packet of hot milo.
Drinking choc-contained drinks will make me dopey.
Puffed a stick of cig while njoying d milo.
Suddenly got stomachache n did my ‘business’.
Managed to really slp ard 2.30 am.
Den ard 4.15 am mat noor dropped by d post cos he wanted 2 use d photocopy machine.
I wanted too "knocked out" to greet n shake his hand.
Hamza got up to ‘entertain’ him.
5.30 n it’s time to return back to stn.
Luckily I needed not to do d drill dis morng.
Instead I did stn routine 2gether w/ fairuz.
As per normal, we ‘ate snake’ la until it’s time to fall in (beratur) ard 7.50 am.
After I ‘punched out’, I hanged out @ d kopi shop beside d canal w/ fairuz, rico n khai for a while n Left ard 10.30 am.

Hit by A CAR

2005-07-01T12:05:00.000-07:00

Here’s wat happened on d dae I got hit by d car.
14 june …D guys frm my rota were playing soccer for PT in stn.
I wuz doing sentry duty @ dat time.
Hendra ( our stn clerk) juz left d stn in his bike.
So I gotta open d gate 4 him in order for him 2 get out.
D ball out of nowhere started rolling out of the gate cos it wasn’t closed yet. (Hendra juz left so no time to get it closed fully)
I went out to get d ball.
Raised my hand frm bar thinkg d drivers would see my hand n stop.
I bent down to get d ball, got up n there wuz a sudden rush dat a car wuz fast approaching me.
D car hit me on my left leg, I fell down.
In a matter of sec, I got up n wuz in a semi-conscious state of mind.
My rc (lta shah) n drc (wo bakar) advised me 2 go 2 d hospital to hv a check up n see whether there’s anything wrong w/ my skull or brain.
N so wak (asri) sent me 2 changi (cgh) on his car.
Luckily there’s a hospital near my stn ( changi fire stn). Phew!
N d best thing treatment is free when u’re in NS!while waitg 2 see d doc I met jude (dat fella frm Hawaii)
He started approachg me cos he saw d word “changi fire stn” on my tee.
It’s our stn tee shirt.
He started dat he has a bro back in Hawaii who’s a firefighter as well.
N so a conversation started.
He n his bro (not dat ff guy), another bro needed a cheap plc 2 stay 4 d nite.
So I helped him call Cameron hotel (a budget hotel which is nearby) so dat he could make a bookg.
N we xchanged contacts, he promised to send a few ff tee’s from Hawaii.
N they’re on d way.
Toking bout parcel, I wonder when d parcel mandz sent me frm aussie is reachg.

plans 4 2dae is to go 2 jamil's plc 2nite cos it's his 44th bdae.
he has invited david (dvd), sunny, myself n i dunno else.
i'm xpectg a wonderful nice hee2 cos jamil is preparing all d food.
dat's wat i heard from dvd.
aniwae it's been quite some time i went to jamil's (j.lo- dat's d name i type in my hp) plc, d last time being hari rayer aidilfitri '04.

post- show

2005-06-30T16:40:00.000-07:00

wonderg y d title "post-show"? well, i juz got back frm werk.
had to go thru a SQA interview for scdf
wat's SQA? service quality award...
for the interview i had to help "boast d image" of scdf to y it's a world class organisation n stuff like dat.
intially i wasnt even selected for it until my oc (officer commanding) spoke to me yesterdae bout it.
i wuz to replace asri frm rota1 who's down w/ fever.
the firefighter(ff) team compromises of asri n shadiq (rota1), choo (r2) n lim(r3 - my rota) .
but i ended up being involved in it.
d reason is simply "i'm a dip. holder".
i'm boasting but dat's xactly wat my oc (alan) said.

aniwae i rcv-ed an email from jude parker... some guy from haiwaii.
i met him @ cgh when i wuz there for treatment after i got knocked down in front of my own fire stn.
wat happened?!
i shall sy out d whole story when i feel like cos if not 2dae's entry will b veri2 lengthy.
here's wat jude wrote

Oh by the way this is Jude from hawaii ,we meet you in the emergency room @ Changi hospital.My brother was sick he ended up having some sort of bacteria combinded with an allegic reaction. He was messed up!! Anyway I didnt forget about your T-shirts they are on the way. feel free to e-mail me anytime. Aloha - Jude

my virgin record

2005-06-28T01:47:00.000-07:00

2dae i juz started my own blog.
initially i wuz kinda pessimistic bout d whole blog thing.
after reading some of my *frens', it triggered d interest in me.
esp when my name is being mentioned.
[hei, dis is d plc 2b truhtful, isnt it?]
these incl rafiqah, mas n miss amanda galistan. (miss u so much)

in real life ( as compared to cyber) , i hv a journal in which i write, draw, cut & paste, etc in it EVERY day.
so there isnt much of a diff isnt it?
i guess dat's all for my maiden entry cos i'm running out of wat 2 write.
guess i aint in d proper state of mind yet.
will "write" again soon, maybe on thur (cos i'm on duty tmr, 24/7).
