Don't Cha

after a long tiring day at work(you bet!),i finally got back to my crib and hauled my dirty linens and soaked and washed em foul clothes.after drying em up on hangers,i wiped the trail of water and dusts from the toilet all the way up the stairs to my room.i washed the basin and the grimy bowl,tidied up the parade of shampoos and body wash bottles and a lil scrubbing of the tiles.ooohh,it was a back breaking process and after all that i had a long hot bath.i felt like i was in the army again.

during those bloody days and nights in the army,we were taught to be responsible,independent and of course,discipline.we had to get everything that we had,nice and clean.from the uniform that we had to look sharp on,the personal well-maintained dust free M16s,to the gutter by the building.we will be held responsible for anything that doesn't look right to those mood swing,crazy officers.but it was good.coz the army shaped me.moulded me into a different person,and i believe,every single reluctant dudes who were just like me as well.it's not as bad as most would think.you-can't-beat-em-join-em attitude was instilled,and sure hell i didn't suffered alone.at most times,it's about teamwork.we worked,ate and shat together,irregardless of colour.so unless you go A.W.O.L for some girlfriend bullshit,or caught smoking while on guard duty then you should face the harsh music.so whatever crap they told us to,we just did,no remorse.and i had it,but i sure do miss the experience.and if they ask me to go through all that once again,i'll give it my best shot.R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

it's all good!and also i got my new mobile set sent to me at work earlier today!wooooooohoooooo!

Never Leave You (Uh Ohh!Uh Ohh!)

The Roof!The Roof!

The Roof Is On Fire!

zoomed down to everbody's favourite zoo,me and marlia met up with siku mimi,together with his compadres,izan samad,his elder bro hidir,diane and her boyfriend,percussionists gill and the other i didn't quite catch his name.hopped onto the zoo's buggy,we were driven to watch their show.

i was very impressed,they were dressed to kill.loincloths and warpaints.fire and drums.and though the length of their show was shortened,they were very fiery good.to what i understand,they put on a show about once in a while together,depending on show demands,but what that amazed me,that they still could remember the sequence,with staged expressions and 'dayak' communications that was used entirely throughout their fire show.fire-breathing display simply stunned everyone,while popping-the-balloon-in-between-thighs with darts from blowpipe shifted everybody's asses from their seats.superb show.and that also inspired marlia to learn and play with fire poy that siku mimi did for her.*sigh*

and about 24hrs ago,we were out in the city.popping decks and sweating our fats off.it was hella good session.with siku mimi,adil and doh boy.and i could see a little progress too.my back felt real good and i was in full swing.haha.now i really can't wait for the next time we'll be out together again.sweet.

cheers!

Under The Bridge

slipped a cd into the player,turned the volume up,tribal beats blaring from the Pioneer speakers,breaking the quiet,peaceful tuesday morning.it's 2.30am.i was clearing my room,thrown some useless stuffs into the bin,placed everything back in order again.now i'm happy.did some wiring for my vietnamese lamp,now it's perfectly hung at the corner,high up on the ceiling.

YEAH!the bloody school holidays are over.perfect.now i'm back to life.

yesterday i took an off-in-lieu break.had a good 12hrs rest.but later today,we're gonna stretch and divide ourselves,clearing all the school break mess.

it's raining heavily outside,with lightning flashing and thunder racing and vibrating the walls.it's real cold.good thing i got back early.it had already started drizzling when i was on the road right after i sent marlia home.

my latest craze.was just browsing and looking when i bumped onto this classic toy.i could wind them up and they move and rattle,wobbly and cranky but they are just how i like it.now i'm in love.the dude who sold me,told me to grab the battery operated robot which could emit smoke and it cost only $70.unbelievable.3 years back these fancy tin,friction toys could fetch to hundreds and some thousands of dollars.told him i'm gonna be back real soon.i kept thinking of the rest of the tin robots,friction space ships and fabulous astronauts.marlia wanna get the ferris wheel,and told me to put back the tin robot that i hauled together with the astronaut and space shuttle in my arms.so i did.like a child,i returned the robot into its cramped space,stars glimmering in my eyes.i'll be back,and that's for real.

Toys.Toys.Toys.

i grew up with playmobil,those plastic green soldiers,star wars and g.i.joe figurines.had to share with my elder bro then,so there were quarrels and all that.and then i had plenty of toy guns,rifles,swords,knives,handcuffs.i was always armed.even if we went out to someplace,i always bring along some of my toys to keep me occupied.and as i grew up,together with jaapa,we were busy on sundays at flea market at clarke quay(presently M.O.S),searching and bargaining for star wars exclusive figures and vehicles.we raided toy's r us and even had 'agents' working there and will inform us when new stocks arrived.we'll hangout at that comic shop at serene centre and lucky plaza to checkout latest comics and infos.i got hooked on spawn hideous figurines as well.and if you pop by,there were still plenty of toys i can't display as there were no space left and even here in pasir ris,i got problem with space.but there's room for those tin robots,yup....i'll make room.....

go away optimus prime!!!

HyperBallad

for couple of days and couple of nights,and only now i could access the network.

there must have been some glitch somewhere,and it totally prevented me from entering cyberspace.and due to that,i've glued myself to PsP,and it got really frustrating,coz i smoked more cigarettes when my mind was in idle mode.thank God,thank whoever who got this thing rectified.

now i'm back.

i badly need a day off.i just can't wait.though the holidays are almost over,it seems that the programmes are twice as much.it keep coming,and coming and coming.STOP!

i kept thinking about work.even when i was counting sheeps,work kept me up.and i woke up halfway in midst of my beauty sleep.and i got nightmares too,it's kinda normal to those who are close to me,but this time round,it's getting pretty much every night.no,i don't need to see a witchdoctor but i need to get over with this school holidays.ahh.

and i'm so into Byork lately.

"Can you tell me how to get,how to get to Sesame Street...How to get to Sesame Street..."

Across The Universe

picked up marlia and we made a dash downtown orchard.on the highway the peak hour jam was unbearable.vehicles slower than tortoises,crawling inch by inch.good thang i was riding a scoot.after weavin' and dodgin' finally made our way to HMV.

all this while,it was prem,my colleague,whom my company gave him $300,twice a month,to purchase audio cds,for us to to play at the console.and all the while,he bought,plenty of irritating eurobeat techno junk,dull one hit wonder albums,nasty hip hop artists which songs are totally 'unacceptable' to the mainstream crowd due to its explicit content.and probably due to his withering age,he even 'negligently' bought the same albums that he had bought before.

and earlier today,i was given the honour,to purchase the cds.
along the way,i've planned,what and what not to buy.

there weren't many people there.and so i started bending high and low.i scanned all the three floors.marlia tagged behind,grumbling,said she's hungry,i said wait.so she helped as well to lighten my burden.i made sure i got good cds with different types of genres and at good price too.i got variety selection of retro,hiphop,ska,reggae,jazz,lounge,motown,bossa,house,alternative and even sound effects and movie themes cds. after spending about an hour,we finally check the blue basket that i carried around.i was so bad at math,i gotta whip out my calc wristwatch.and so,we paid $300.40 for the 13 wonderful cds.and i don't mind shelling out forty cents out of my own pocket.coz i got to purchase the cds,myself,my taste.

move over prem.

It's Oh So Quiet

all i've been gettin' this whole day at work was bad news.

i was late for a meeting this morning,and my phone was ringing real hot as i was still in slumberland,comfortably knocked out when i was supposed to be at the table answering difficult questions with clients from hell.but when i realised it was a lil' too late.

something screwed up last saturday's event and my big boss demanded answers tomorrow,but why should it be me?i can't answer that,and best bet that whatever reasons i'll come out with,the boss won't buy my bull.so i'll bring ear plugs and bulletproof vest instead.

my back hurts,real bad,when i tried to ollie over a kerb yesterday,and the pain was excruciating.i was midair when what felt like i had twisted some bones,or muscles,or veins,or whatever it was and sent me down onto the ground.i almost cried.it was painful.i didn't knocked onto anything before or when i ollied,it was just so freaky.too old for that shit,well...maybe.

the holidays ain't over yet,and so is my bloody tight schedule.i just wanna get over all of it quick.i'm sick and tired of all the school holidays programme madness at work.it's gonna be another rush hour with multiple events this coming weekend,and we're so shorthanded,each one of my colleagues are totally occupied with piling duties..oh God,give me strength,plz..

"you don't have any off day this week"that's the exact words that came off from her 7/11 trap.Oh there goes my day off,but it's alright,i got paid so ain't that bad.and my mind,just like every other mondays,wasn't operating that well earlier.i stumbled,stammered,lost for words when i was on the mic,my mind was elsewhere and i couldn't focus.damn.

ordered a plate of rice for dinner earlier.was so hungry,i didn't eat the whole day,was so busy and when my food arrived on the table,was so BLOODY ANGRY and suprised,that my food was fried and sent to me in ETA 3mins.it tasted bad.

siku mimi asked a Big favor from me and k-fad.he desperately need us to mix and record tribal beats for his Bon Fire show,which apparently is this coming weekend.and he got no one to turn to.a friend in need.so we sneaked into the ballroom,k-fad meddled with cables,i plugged the phones and matched the beats,and after careful selections and adjustments,we had a big smile from our worried pal.it felt so good that we could help somebody.

i've completed Call Of Duty:Roads To Victory.now i feel weird.

help!today is me and marlia's engagement anniversary.whoo.look how time flies.a year already.it seems like it's only yesterday that my family and relatives boarded that bus to marlia's place.

and the sad thing,i could only see her tomorrow.but it's ok.right?i hope so.

To Infinity and Beyond!

Towards mo and mo Loving years together,with mo Happiness and Fun and all that Glitters and plenty of Sunshine.

Thank you for tolerating my sometimes dangerously dumb ideas and out of the planet plans which sometimes worked out well and most times don't.

Ain't it,marlia?(btw,where's my anniversary gift?)

Thong Song

I am Jack's wasted life.
I am Jack's inflamed sense of rejection.
I am Jack's broken heart.
You met me at a very strange time in my life.

Tyler Durden.Fight Club.

feeling kinda drowsy.mind slipping away.my throat's so dry i could drink a pool of juice.i need a rest.tomorrow,it's gonna be a very,very long,long day,my friend.family day telematch,blue lights special,bigfoot challenge,treasure chest water telematch and elmo+cookie monster meet and greet session.i'm gonna lose my voice.i'm gonna lose myself.but that won't happen,i'm gonna be just fine.i'm just tired now.i need my beauty sleep.

so we went to the big city the other day.marlia bought another pair of new shoes.women.*sigh*

we went to the swan lake.been awhile since we last visited botanical gardens.it was perfect evening.picture perfect.





like a pair of runaway monkeys we were. it was fun.but i missed the old taman serasi.

so it was the GSS.we left the big city around 10.45pm and once we hit the highway,we were welcomed by Great Singapore Jam.Hotdamn.

and its making progress.we got a new lift right to our floor.yippee!!!

i'm outta here.click.

Right Here Right Now

i got conned over nasi lemak i purchased at a stall in west plaza,pasir ris this morning.told the lady i didn't want the egg,so instead of offering other stuffs like hot dog,or bagedil or whatever but that distasteful egg,all i got was,a non-nasi lemak rice,a mere pathetic pinch of anchovies and nuts and what which tasted like yesterday's chicken wing and last but not least,sambal.it was a whole new day,and all it took was a crooked lady who conned me with $2.50 so called nasi lemak,of which the canteen nasi lemak back in school was way far more tasteful than hers.Good God!i ate a small portion and gave up most part of the chicken wing to the cat below the table.and i didn't want to create a scene,which i would normally do,but ahh,nevermind...

and the whole day i was thinking of that darn lady.and was feeling real hungry,and only managed to had a good meal at mas ayu,siglap 2 hours back.i had nasi goreng ikan bilis and it was powerful daa.but now,i'm hungry again.oooo.

so,on the average,my food(energy)intake daily,when i'm at work and away from home-

1-breakfast-rarely.maybe twice a week.
2-lunch-seldom.most times,sick of the same old food.sometimes burgers.
3-dinner-nasi goreng or mee goreng or chicken rice.
4-i do drink milk or soya beans-a litre each day.
5-swallowed lotsa water,i carried my water bottle around at work.
6-at least 2 cup of teas per day.don't drink coffee,i'll have a headache if i have a cuppa.
7-a pack of cigarettes per working shift.
8-snacks like keropoks or murukus or breads at whenever wherever.

nice life.hungry tummy.bad diet.smile always.

i need a personal cook,very badly.AND I HAVE A PROBLEM LOADING THIS POST,WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!!!!!

Garageland

another monday and another day left to my day off.

went skating with the usual crew earlier this morning,to the skatepark and stadium where we were given a warning by the security.got a bad fall i felt like i lost my right knee all because of a small stone that caught in one of my wheels.ended up at adam's at bendemeer for teh halia and tahu goreng w/o egg before we went separate ways.i'm so freakin' tired now and my eyes were real droopy ever since i woke up.real tired.

had dinner at changi village.nasi lemak with additional anchovies,sent marlia home,got back where i wrestled with my dirty laundry,did some housekeeping,i'm smiling now but nobody's watching,still i'm tired but i feel like superman.listening to lush and anytime now i could collapse into sweet starry sleep.who cares?i know.

at work today,i spent 2 hrs on backbreaking meeting,played some music,and some games with kids and another 2 hrs hiding in the console,playing my latest addiction-Call Of Duty:Roads to Victory.yeah!



Curahee!!!!!!!!!

Common People

this whole place is turning into a playground.

got back from home earlier,and as i turned into the dim carpark,two girls were sitting in front of a parked car,in the dark.that was the dumbest thing to do!
and when i walked past a block of chalets,kids were running around and it was midnight!the whole place was littered with rubbish,oh!i really hate school breaks!
(or am i getting old???)

back at work earlier,i sneaked into ticketcharge office and jason pimped some games into my psp,hey i got Call Of Duty Roads To Victory!and its free!!!!!
cool.now i can lounged myself some cosy corner and feast my eyes and exercise my brains a bit.ain't it?but i need to expand my memory card and that means $$$.but jason the pimp advised me to go and purchase it at JB.and it's been awhile since i rest my foot on JB which i dubbed as Mexico.Good bargains at less the price but the danger is twice as nice.so far,i've never had any bad encounters,only rude ass discourteous punks but we've heard so many stories about their notoriety that totally discourage us to visit their soil.one of the Real reason why i dislike going there is the traffic jam at both the immigration checkpoints,i HATE traffic jams.and that's why i haven't been there for quite some time.thanks but no thanks.maybe i'll walk,or take public transport or hitch a ride,but hell,i don't wanna be trapped in a long winding traffic jam at the causeway when i'm on my scoot.hell no.i had it and i call it a quit.enough of the trips just to save a couple of dollars just to save on gas.i'll rather spend the time waiting on elsethings.or blogthings.or whateva.

and speaking of blogging...bakhtiar AKA tit totally disapprove of us guys blogging.he said it was lame...haha...whateva...i like and doesn't matter to me dude if anybody else against it,coz I LIKE!!!!

It's Like That

isn't it fun???

the weekend has landed,though i've to drag my lazy butt to work but it's so much fun to work without my bosses around.yeah,deal with that yo,but we all do feel the same,life's so much easier,everything we do will be so fluid when the bosses ain't around.it's a fact.

and only saw my boss for about 5mins in the office,and she left without a clue,leaving us monkeys behind,enjoying every precious moment together but that didn't mean we didn't carry out our duties,it's just we felt so free,so peaceful without her constant unnecessary naggings.i felt good.



tea break,small conversations,restless minds,itchy fingers,can you do it?

I've Got You Under My Skin

30 sticks of sate kambing,a plate of nasi goreng daging cincang,a cup of horlicks and still it doesn't seems to fill my tummy.

didn't had proper meals today,ahh again.i'm so upset with the food around here.and sick of Mcd and BK as well.not forgetting KFC.maybe it's just me.

planned to go to Changi for supper but,damn it's so late,and we're so Laazzzyy.

so instead,we had no choice but here.

time flies,and the weekend almost here.probably due to my odd shift,i just hate it.

looking forward to this saturday night.we've plan another gathering at our backyard,dubbed as 'costa la luna',haha,it's gonna be as fun as before.

so i got a msg earlier,we're probably goin' for another skate session this sunday,been a while,but with my busy schedule,i just don't know,i wanna but hmmm,well,i'll try.

spent time with marlia on wednesday.went down to toa payoh(love that town,i grew up there man!)had a tough time locating this shop,and after turning here and there,we finally found it,got my PsP uploaded with software and stuffs at only $30.now i can't play downloaded games.whoo hooo!

we went to onan rd,bought karipaps,then to marina for shopping spree,damn my legs were tired man....

so i heard Pak Lah gettin' married again,oh ok.

Every Morning

the last weekend activities,and another dull monday drained me out completely.

been entertaining folks with land telematches,wet telematches and stage games and umm,it ain't over.
the company,being very generous,spared plenty of attractive prizes for patrons to participate and irregardless whether they win or lose,they still walk away with big,big smiles.best thing is they don't have to shell out a single cent to join the games that i reluctantly conducted,but i had to,of course.

i'm running out of ideas to play and now still squeezing my brains to think of nice,creative ways,family oriented games.yet,whether i like it or not,there are more days to come.it's the school holidays and i hate it.

spent a nice evening out with the same old gang last saturday at zouk.was helluva fun.as usual,arrived fashionably late with pretty ugly plain old,sweet gathering of the weird,nonsensical yet loving party people,and it really loosen up those tight muscles,i felt good.

my boss,liberally altered the schedule that i've plan for my crew,and now we have to suffer with the rest of june.i've gotta work from 12pm to 8pm daily and that sucks.so why the smurf she did that adjustment,hell i don't know.she said we've gotta focus on the lobby area and 'create' a 'livelier' environment.and so we did.but i gotta talk to her again tomorrow since i didn't see her around earlier today.a tactical approach,a slowtalk,a plan b coz i just don't like the idea to work a strange shift.and neither did the boys.

had a late dinner,washed and dried my mountain high clothes,did some scrubbing and cleaning of the 'bachelor's' toilet and now i'm so tired i can't sleep.



hope you enjoy this classic material as much as i do!Go Rude Bwai!

Sweet Child O' Mine

It's june.

and i could breathe a lil easier after settling all the bills which had been piling on my chest for this month.

all except for the season parking,and you know what they said,the beloved vehicle sits quietly under the shade of the trees and we thought we could save some cash on fuel but still we are wrong coz we still paying though the engine ain't runnin'.

and for my case,i only park my ride less than 10 days in a month at home.and i'm weighing the case this time round.i dunno.i could save some cash or spend it on elsethings,like a shopping spree or movies or something.yeah,it's dumb.

still haven't got enough Zzleep.woke in the morning,reached half an hour late,but still had time for breakfast with Ah Fad.so the whole day i was drenched in rain and sweat.it was a struggle,really,delegated the team to send out all the necessary equipments and family day props at both parks.*yawn*

in the evening ibuk,leene,kak eda and the pokemons came for the greatest show,sat awhile and when the show starts i continue with my work.worked my ass out till 10pm,had dinner with k-fad,ganesh the menace and hambalism at fresco.i had mee goreng without egg.sedap jugak!

and so hambalism told us about his nephew.
story goes like this;

dol,(not his real name)just got his job at pizza hut as a delivery boy.and so yesterday was his day off and he had ordered pizzas and stuff via telephone,and when the meal came knockin on his door,the delivery boy,whom apparently was his colleague had forgotten his cola,or something,and went saying,"eh Boy,gua punya air lu lupa kasi ah.."
and so the story continues,dol came back to work and was cornered by his colleague who sent the meals on wheels yesterday,told him that he can't sleep the whole night just because he called him 'Boy'....and gave dol 3 tight slaps on his cheeks.dol was too stunned to retaliate,too shock to accept the awful guilt and turned to uncle instead,but uncle just asked him to apologise and that's it.

i would raise hell if that was me,or being me as a non-violent character and have no knowledge in martial arts whatsoever,i will sure drag his bully,'mat arip' ass down to the nearest police station and whisper gently into his ears the consequences of what '3 slaps on the cheeks' are.and the oddest cause that no sane being could accept,can't sleep the whole night for being called 'Boy'.Gosh,spare me the crap.

you give delivery boys a bad name.or are they all the same?



last night's The Last Supper with Siku Mimi,Ganesh the Menace and K-Fad @ our backyard.
