It Could Be Sweet-Portishead

if given another opportunity to hit JB on a beautiful sunny sunday,i'll rather stick at home or do something else,just to avoid that inevitable monstrous killer traffic jam,just to leave and return the country for a bellyful of food and some groceries.yeah last sunday was madness.

been real busy at work lately,all rushing to complete the gallery exhibition by July,and so far i could confidently and safely say it's only 70% completed;we ran power and speaker cables across
ceilings and sealing and securing it safe from the naked eye,mounted and positioned big lcd screens and projectors,climbed up and down till my right knee felt hurts,so bad.
so tomorrow another day of mad rush,and my lovely wife just got me a nice pouch so i could stuff all my tools altogether in one bag instead,and not lugging 3 separate pouches on my utility belt.

and oh yes,my right knee,it needs attention actually,it felt SO damn bad earlier this morning when i woke up from my deep sleep,but the pain subsided right after my morning jog,it could be due to the rain yesterday;i was on the scooter & caught in the heavy rain,i had my jacket on but my shorts exposed my lower limbs,yeah it could be due to that,hmm maybe.or maybe not.

Slow Down-Morcheeba

i was awoken suddenly by an excruciating pain in my belly this morning 5am.staggered to the toilet in the dark,had to reach out and touch the cold walls,aiding myself as i unease the root cause of the problem which forced me out of the bed.and after the dawn prayers,i hit the sack again.it all felt like a weird dream.

i'm all dress up now.i've arranged and made the bed already neat and tidy now.spread the windows wide open,letting the glorious sunshine in with Morcheeba accompanying the air,it's all so lovely now,lovely sunday morning.all ready to hit the road to JB soon for a delightful father's day brunch at a hotel there.i'm hungry...

Until The Morning-Thievery Corporation

i watched Fan Yang demonstrated his extra ordinary bubbles act;superb show.off stage he's just an ordinary man,and friendly too,his show lasted for 2 hours but i stepped out as my feet hurts standing and leaning against the wall,there were no empty seats-Full House!i got carried away for almost an hour until i decided to leave,i wish i could stay a lil longer but time doesn't permit me so,i've gotta fetch my beloved angel.

we are busy in the next tent,preparing for another event scheduled to kicked off next month,production is underway and it's quite massive,already we're calculating how much time we could complete our job and there's so many things to do,laying of cables,installing lights and soon the projector and lcd screens will fit into those wooden shelves,an interactive art gallery coming soon in the east-and it's no easy job.

i'm lacking of creativity,i think so,and i desperately need inspirations.i need to do something,oh i miss those quiet nights at the old chalet,where i could dirty my fingers with fabric ink,cutting the wax paper and transform into magical pictures transferred onto tees and stuffs,with soft music playing in the background,oh boy those were the times.

the training today was pretty good and there weren't any aches on my body,maybe just burn marks from the extreme heat but it wasn't totally hot anyway.it was all good then,and we went our separate ways,i got onto my vespa and rode home,hot shower and change into dry comfortable clothes,head down to my wife's cousin's place for her engagement gathering;had nice meal and got a bit chatty,then after all that we got back home.what a pleasant saturday.

and tomorrow i was given a day off,and we're heading down to Johor,and i've already tucked my scooters in their canvasses,we're going with the entire family in two cars!and i could rest in the backseat!

Everything About You-Ugly Kid Joe

i spent a long time staring at the rows of curtains on the shelf at Giant Hypermart earlier.it's no easy job.getting the right one is real tough,especially when i'm all alone,given the honour to bring back two nice curtains for the living and the bedroom.i was told by my wife to pick a bright colour,and when i got there i was struck with choosing the perfect one,i can't!there were so many nice ones!rummaged through the shelves,standing trying to reach the top shelf and stooping down reaching for the hidden ones,and after almost 20 minutes,and a few phone calls i decided to grab two of the most,or should i say almost perfect ones for home.or if not,i'll just face the music later.

supposed to be rock climbing this evening but i my arm still hurts after last weekend's rowing,then me and my wife planned a run along east coast park stretch,but we had to cancel it all due to the urgency to fix up the curtains.needs drilling for the rail,put up the curtains that i bought today,and after clearing the mess,we plan to hit Bedok town for mattress or else my plan to watch the Spain game tomorrow will not happen!Help!

Trans Fatty Acid-Lamb

My sunday begun with a gruelling,intensifying dragon boat training,battling the currents and waves at Kallang river,i got blisters from the rough paddling and almost suffering from heat stroke due to the scorching heat,the sun was extremely burning hot and i lost lots of my energy out of it.already being severely tortured on saturday's training,with inadequate rest and the muscles still sore due to extensive & rigorous rowing over the weekend.

by noon i was at home,gearing up for work,how i wish i could take a power nap,but there wasn't enough time to do so.at work now,awaiting time to complete the day's mess.this is just another challenge,another non-quiet day for myself,and the little strength left to finish the day,oh boy,it's almost over now.

world cup season kicked off couple of days,and already we all feel the heat,one way or another.
watched the koreans vs the greeks yesterday,and i must say the asians are doing pretty well.and i'm looking forward to the upcoming spain game soon,but unsure whether i could since the game is scheduled late.

too much things so little time.
i got my runing shoes already,my lovely angelic wife bought for me,after looking and comparing prices at stores,and i got it,where else but Queensway shopping centre.too bad registration is closed for the standard chartered marathon,and now only left the 18km newton run.contemplating with 18km,but i have the burning confidence that i could finish it off quite well.

been real busy,with work and my adventurous lifestyle,i've to adjust my time for both work and play,i hope i could have time for everything else,especially spending quality time with my wife,but thank God,she's been real supportive.

Cheers for a happy sunday!

B-Line-Lamb

we had fun,though we were drenched in the rain midway through,in our journey back to Ebok's place for mee birthday and chicken wings,a perfect hot lunch accompanied by the hosts and bad ass cat lingering below the table,awaiting opportunity to strike for bits of flesh,but the invitation was strictly for guests only.

we rode to Bishan 2 hours later-i officially made several nominations for rightful ownership of my CPF funds,just in case if i live short enough to see this world,and following that a cool Shrek in 3D,and there weren't much folks in that theatre and hence there were hardly any unwanted noises or irritating movements-i just love that,and that movie was as fantastic;now we're looking forward to the soon to be released new Toy Story flick-To Infinity & Beyond!

i'm supposed to get myself a pair of new running trainers,but the ones that we've seen earlier were not of my choice-either too plain,uninteresting details or colour,or way too costly.i did not test on comfort-i just browsed.
but there's only one which caught my eyes,but there's no urgency,so i got plenty of time to checkout the trainers elsewhere.

and after a long time,i actually got myself sweaty again,this time me & nazir brought along our other halves,and we had a good time scaling the boulders,though it actually cost a bit-$12 per person and $5 for rental of the rockwall shoes,but nevertheless we had good time,and looking forward to the next session,which we all thought will be good if we could keep up and practice,spending good times climbing once a week or fortnightly.Climb On!

In The Stone-Earth,Wind & Fire

I'm not idling,it's my lunchtime.

i regret that i left my jacket back in the scoot.oh yes it's cold as ice in the office here right after the tech dudes serviced the unit.there's pretty not much things to do around here,i'm awaiting for my colleague for his return from his break,and we could ride down to town to checkout some new cool toy mixers and dj softwares for us to frolick with.and the there's this sleepy and lazy spell in the air,it's just the weather,and i bet you know it already.

yesterday was another crazy day,as mentioned before,there were so many things to do at work,but we managed to finished it up way before we targetted actually,and i did got time to slip out-hopped onto Bella and rode home,took a cab down to the workshop which cost $140 for the replacement of faulty starter and towing service,left the place and only realising there was error indication on the speedo and decided to return back to the workshop and when i requested it to be fixed,the old man smiled-"u sure Sam?"
i replied,"yes sir..hmm why?"
"it'll cost $480 for the lcd unit.."and he smiled again
"ooh..in that case,forget it.."
but Debbie could still move,only in time,until the lcd unit fail entirely,then..

Don't Stop Believin'-Journey

It's been a very long tiring week with the sad departure of a good man,who's like a fatherly figure and close to the family,ended his months of sufferings and pain last thursday afternoon.May God bless him and he will be in our hearts,always.

and after the proper burial ceremony over,we went back for prayers among relatives and close friends,all whom said that the late old man,was a friendly nice man with good character.
my wife and her two sisters were hit most badly,as they were the closest among all with him,and so his absence hurt them the most.

i still did not have a proper good rest yet,over the weekend was busy settling stuffs back at work,with a very important big event,but so glad that it was all over now.

tomorrow,
i've have to ring up the tow truck,again.my beloved X9 aka Debbie Gibson,is at it again.been a week now it was draped over with the silver mouldy canvas at the motorcycle parking lot.God knows what is the fault-it won't even start after ignition.swapped batteries,i noticed there was lights and the horny horn was working perfectly,but it won't start,and i just hope it won't cost a bomb to get it fix at the workshop.good thing i got my Bella the Vespa.at least i could still move around although not as fast as Debbie.


things been quite crazy at work,with so many things to do this school holidays,and there's so many events & shows to run,but that's what me and the crew loves this job so much.

keep sane!
