Alright-Jamiroquai

i heaved a long sigh and a sense of relief after settling all the outstanding bills and fines for the month,walked away from the AXS machine,i was still in disbelief,that i wasn't given a ticket at the lagoon carpark and no summon was issued to me and it was not reflected in the system,i'm sure it must be a mistake,or maybe i should brush it aside and wait for the red letter to arrive by post.

it's been raining every single evening,always the time when i'm leaving from work,and was always held back,i could not ride in the rain,and my after work plans halted.
i switched into my gear,ready for the footy game with my mates,i even left the meeting midway,hoping that i could join the folks on time,but i was wrong when i opened the door and felt a cold wind and distant rumbling inthe heavens,goodness it was pouring very badly,and was sunny not too long ago.that's the situation we're in today.it's ok,it's just global warming,chill back bro,let's wait for the rain to stop..that's what they said..

Would-Alice In Chains

2 summons,and probably another..
failing to display a proper parking coupon,one was negligence-i booked the season parking for both my scoots conveniently at an axs machine,but i failed to check that i actually,mistakenly booked a spot for Bella the Vespa at her former sheltered carpark at Pasir Ris.the other parking ticket that i received was,on some particular afternoon weeks back,i actually slipped a used parking coupon to save myself 65cents.yes i wasn't thinking straight i know.
it wasn't really alright as it caused quite a stir earlier this morning,i went down to the local town council for assistance but i was shocked to see the bloody long queue which snaked around the line heading towards the counter,and an additional panic when i saw on a neat,bright colored sign just before the queue lines,stating that the carpark which nests both the lovely scoots was actually out of spot-FULLY BOOKED-in bold.stunned i was contemplating whether to leave the place or join in the line of angry bunch of folks.i decided to hop in and when my turn arrived,it was about 10 minutes later,and i explained to the lady behind the counter about my sorry story.initially,she told me there,yes,there weren't any spot left,but since she checked my records and me being clumsy and dumb of wrongfully booked the wrong spot at the wrong estate altogether,she gave me a lending hand and booked both the scoots for another two months which costs me $63.00.she typed a report,photocopied the tickets and all done.she told me to write an appeal letter since my case is genuinely dumb,was that what she said?i think..
for the other ticket which i got in the north,i have paid via the cashless system and the irony was how i explained this whole sad story to my wife over dinner at the lagoon in east coast earlier this evening,when i suddenly remembered that i've forgotten to place a valid parking coupon when everybody knows that particular carpark is an inevitable hotspot-the carpark marshals actually stationed themselves there the whole time,but i could not find a ticket when we returned to the scoot-nothing,but two bikes on the right,a ticket was rolled and tucked between a bike's brake lever-but i couldn't find mine or maybe i was lucky,or maybe not,we'll find out soon.

Jump-Van Halen

when we were there at times square,KL,we came across an official Vans store,and i
bumped onto the pair of Vans Mountain Hi which i have been looking for all this while,but due to the fact that it was overly priced-$365 ringgit,and furthermore my wife disagreed on getting it then,i was quite reluctant actually but when i got onto my senses i finally realized that,yeah i could be dumb at times,thank God i have a companion who is always there to stop me being irrational & foolhardy.

but i'm sure i'll get my sweaty feet into those cool pair of canvas someday,oh my,i was this close,but it got away...

The Boys Are Back In Town-Thin Lizzy

3 days of pure gluttony,almost!

we left all the troubles and stress back home & hit the long winding road on a comfortable busride to the capital state of malaya last friday afternoon,and once we disembarked from the ride,the 'makan trip' commenced immidiately.
yes,the main strong reason which brought us back to KL was Subway for their mouthwatering sandwiches followed by Wendy's,A&w and plenty other lovely tasty delicious food along the way.
we even got time to checkout the coffin exhibition at the museum negara,and in short,we didn't really go around much but just eat,eat and eat.
the weather
KL,besides the flourishing shopping centres and the forever mad traffic congestion & the inglorious pollution,didn't really change that much,those thousands of taxis with stickers printed in bold 'meter taxi' but in actual fact that they switched off the meters and pose absolutely ridiculous fares even for short distances.but what ever it was,we actually don't give a hoot coz we already know these foul characters,we were only there to have fun.we favoured the public transport.

we'll be back,for sure.

Empire State Of Mind-Alicia Keys

The queue is a long winding labyrinth,a frustrating series of twists and turns,bumps and silent desperationof sighs,droplets of sweat and heat building up underneath my thin layered cotton tee branding Darth Vader image,but i'm in my best,keeping my cool.
The hospital enforces the rule of allowing only several visitors at a time and hence keeping noisy and loud crowds away.
the old man looked better,in a quick glance;healthy.the disese which befell him for months now actually drove him frail and weak.but he said he was alright,only due to the long period of time lying down on the bed,pressure from his weight caused a hairline crack on his spine.and after meticulous analysis by his doctors and specialists,thsy all said he'll be alright but he needed plenty of restbut no one mentioned when he'll be discharged from the creepy place.
i hope he'll recover soon,i know he doesn't like staying there,oh well who does?

3 Am Eternal-KLF

this might be one of my worst monday ever,i could not find the strength to pry open my tired eyes this morning,and it was hell trying to move my body,and my back was still in a bad shape,even after the good wife contributed applying a however short back massage last night & a so called good-yet-somehow-seems-short sleep.
The painkiller tablet did its job,but it didn't assist in shapeshifting the groggy state i'm in right now,and paying the least attention in this meeting room,God knows what they are blabbering about and in most topics,only a tiny fraction concern my darling team,ohh get me out of here!!!!.

Whole Lotta Love-Led Zeppelin

i'm having this excruciating pain on my back,real hurt all due to two consecutive days of dragon boat training at Kallang river.even the mefenamic acid pills that i swallowed doesn't really help but thank God i can walk iwhout the assistance of a stick,NOT!

the weather is good today,and yesterday as well,and crowds of cheerful paddlers added colour to the lovely morning;from the shack all the way to the river bank,i felt however like i'm in some foreign shores,coz largely,the crowd made of different kind of people haliling from various countries,and all looked happy and all looked real fit.

and all were there for the same intention-to row!and all we thought rowing was easy until we rocked the still waters,it was madly tiring.we rowed in unison all the way close to marina barrage and made a turn,rowed to indoor stadium and back to where we started.in between we stopped for stretching and further instructions by our coach,a former dragon boat national team player.

the river was dark and murky and God knows what lay underneath as we paddled & perfecting our breathing,movement and strokes.and most importantly we need to row as a team and all gotta be together in a single rhythm.

now i'm in pain but i felt good,i got a bit darker but that's alright and already i'm showing signs of interest in this newfound love,even the crew are friendly and i'm looking forward to the next session,oh boy i'm gonna miss next weekend's training,but there'll be more,i promise!

Pictures Of You-The Cure

totally burnout.
i can't even finish up the plate of fried rice.i drank lotsa water,plentiful but my tummy ain't bloated,my back is achin,shoulders and knees felt heavy,it was all due to the footy game earlier at safra with me mates and the killer weather was the big reason why most of us felt weak.

but it was a good,clean and fun game-looking forward to next thursday session,oh boy i gotta rest this body.the next rigorous activity would either be this saturday or sunday dragon boat training at kallang river,and i could have participated on both days but due to an event we need to attend to,and on a weird timing on both days,i've to sacrifice one paddle session.

time moves real quick,another glance on the clock it's quarter to 10pm,i got plenty of movies to watch,but most importantly i gotta watch the fourth episode of the pacific,the earlier ones i watched it at home with my dad,but the 3rd one really put me into an uncomfortable position,with sex scenes and honestly i did feel a real weird and yes we are adults but some things just needed to be in discreet,don't you agree?it's so wrong!

i attended a sports injury seminar during lunch at my workplace earlier,and it's real exciting;the speaker talked about the proper shoes and insoles we should wear and if we don't,we might end up with ingrown toenails,hammer and claw toes and many other scary complications which also will affect back and knee problems.

now take care of your foot,hombres!

Here Comes The Sun-The Beatles

Come draw your curtains and checkout the big blue skies,the sun shining gloriously,it's such a perfect day for a picnic at the beach.

too bad i'm at work now and i can't escape this,i gotta attend another meeting at sengkang with some clients and thank God i don't have to ride there,i'll just hop onto the company car my colleague driving us all there.the heat,is so bright and loud,we all need shades to protect our precious eyes,my goodness it's so sunny out there.i hope tomorrow and the day after that will be like this too.i can't really stand the wet dull weather,i even had to think twice to ride on my steed.the road so dangerously wet and made it more scarier,with all the heavy vehicles speeding past with all the vapors and waters splashed onto me,i don't like that.i like it when it's sunny and i don't have to put on the warm rain jackets,pants and boots-instead of protecting me from wet it made sweat with the layers of clothings on me.

Let Her Cry-Hootie & The Blowfish

the heavy downpour yesterday was the main obvious reason why the sports council official had to stop us from playing at the pitch at Si Ling field.

but that didn't stop us,so we changed venue to Fico indoor futsal pitch,from north shifted all the way far west of the island,and i had difficulties riding on my steed in the wet weather and slippery roads.

but it was well worth the journey and time,i had fun,we all did,the match between the big three families was not only a game,but a big happy family bonding and interaction-both young and old,and seriously we all looking forward to the next session,with hope it doesn't clash with my work activities.

travelling back to pasir ris,i was drenched in cold sweat and soaked in rain splattered on me throughout the journey and midway i was stunned when i glanced at the speedometer,unrealising that i was dangerously speeding at 120km on the wet highway,so slowed down a lil and moved in a more constantly safe speed.

it was my wife's mom's birthday that we celebrated at the chalet,with tasty and mouthwatering bbq food that i devoured after hours spent kicking ball and long journey in the rain,but i didn't had that much,i was in fact burnout and aches started to develop.chatting and sharing laughter with relatives till midnight when they all decided to leave and we started packing up,clearing all the leftovers and once all done we went back to rest and sleep.wake up this morning and still feeling tired,and its raining again..

sunday lazy sunday

Semi Charmed Life-Third Eye Blind

the only place i went out to today was the mosque,for the congregational prayers.the rest of the holiday,me & my partner in crime turned into couch potatoes.we watched movies the whole day.we watched Ice Cube's notorious Friday Trilogy,which was in fact another ghetto weed flick but it was rather entertaining although it was altogether offensive.

we are having a break right now as i type this,a break from another epic parody,Disaster Movie' and at the same time i've actually succeeded in accomplishing several movies i've downloaded online-'Year One','Dance Flick',part one to three of 'Pacific' miniseries,and now awaiting 'Book Of Eli' to be completed.

my knee hurts and i wrapped a bandage around it,but i know it will go away soon,that's how i felt each time i'm confined doing nothing,a little massage,wiggle a bit here and there & it'll go away and somehow will come back anytime soon,just an old injury.

the footy match tomorrow at 3pm,but i'll be fine in no time,i hope.

now i gotta go back to the movies,see ya!

War-Edwin Starr

my heart singin' songs of praises,happiness and joy!i'm so delighted i could take a rest tomorrow,it's a Good Friday Holiday,and so far i've not think of any plans,of how to spend the precious time tomorrow,and how i wish it won't rain again tomorrow,so that i could hop onto Bella the Italian Angel and ride around on it.

i need the rest i think,and already me and my beloved wife planning to watch some comedy flicks later,probably a marathon,but i don't wanna stay up too late,i needed that rest,remember.
come this saturday there's a big match,me and me dearest cousins playing against relatives somewhere up in woodlands pitch,i don't really fancy the trip up north,yeah i do have a ride,but then,i gotta travel there all the way from work and that's not fun.but i really wanna kick some balls,and if opportunity arises,who knows if i score a goal or two,well maybe..

we just got back;i pampered myself with some nice berms and a cool belt which i got at a bargain,had a nice meal together at Adam Rd food centre-and made our way back home with suprisingly smooth traffic on the PIE highway.and thank God,we were not caught in the rain today.

and finally,after a long wait,the same folks who did Band Of Brothers & releasing
'The Pacific'on HBO very soon.

Cheers!
