played texas hold'em last weekend again..i think its fast becoming my favourite card game, surpassing even dai dee or ban luck..cos its so simple and fun to play.

last fri, was planning on gg minds cafe with the 850 gang, but instead we ended up playing texas hold'em at the 2nd floor landing of a deserted block. haha..without booze or chips or any form of stakes, we played squats for forfeit. min bet was 3, max 8. doesnt look like much, but after everyone upped the stakes, and the pool became 30+ to 40 squats, its damn shag..and 40 squats 2 hands in a row is no joke if u lose. at the end of it, i counted a total of 325 squats, which gave me a fucking cramp in my quads and hamstrings..cb..until today still aching slightly.

i think i was the champion tt night, of doing squats, nt the game, but al insisted he did more than me, close to 400 he said. oh well, nvm..he can say what he wants, but my thighs still did the real talking..haha.

we were so into the game that we brought our own cards along when we went to halo bar on saturday nite..the moment our beer arrived, out came the cards and we started dealing..stakes was sips of the beer this time round..but towards closing time, when we were almost out of booze, we reverted to squats again...and we actually did them a couple hands, right in the middle of halo bar, lol..but nt many ppl ard at the time liao, so it was nt too embarassing la..

saturday nite was actually quite fun, aside fr texas poker, there was also a fight outside the bar, which got us partly involved, when some idiot pulled fat ass' hair so hard, he turned ard and gave said idiot one right in face, making it all bloody. somehow, the blood also got onto fat ass' pants, and he even took a photo of it. there was also blood splattered all over the corridor, nt to mention clumps of fat ass' hair tt got pulled out..

in the end, the idiots who started the fight actually called the police, and they got questioned while we retreated back inside amidst the confusion and resumed our game. later, there was even a crime scene van there to take photographs of the blood splattered corridor and stuff..lol..csi: singapore!

ytd, spent an afternn at home tidying up parts of my room and watching 'meet the spartans' and other stuff on movie6. i thought it was really stupid, the jokes were really crass and all..but fat ass said it was hilarious and tt he was laughing his ass off the whole time..well, to each his own la..but, in order not to do the show injustice, i still think there were some bits tt were quite funny.

went out at night for a simple dinner with poly frens at fish and co, glass house; a farewell dinner of sorts for gab who's going to australia to study next week, wish him all the best..both in his studies and with the ang moh cai there, haha..

seems like i've been neglecting this blog again. nvm, no one reads it anyway.

my 23rd bday came and went, without any celebration whatsoever. got a polo ralph cologne fr gcb and the rest of the 850 gang for my present, and various other sms bday wishes fr frens. to those who rmbred, thanks. others who did not, nvm, cos i also dont rmbr everyone's bday. anyway, im back today just to record down some stuff that made my previous weekend, quite fun and enjoyable, i should say.

to start with, all this while that i have been away, my life is still the same old work, sleep, eat, workout, play games and watching downloaded shows; though i dont really play so much games now, gotten kinda sick of both dota and wolfteam liao, haha... rather, i've been busy watching mobtv~watching all those old mediacorp chinese dramas that i missed or reminisced watching during my youth. and no, i did not actually go subscribe to mobtv...the password and user account to watch all the programs was courtesty of gcb, who got it out of some stupid fren of his who had subscribed, and was actually dumb enough to tell gcb the userid and pw, which was in turn spread to everyone in our clique of frens via gcb. lol.

anyway, back to my enjoyable weekend. saturday started with going in to jb with al, sebast and another fren. although we went there to eat and shop as usual, we didn't get much time to do either, since we got there too late, we ended up catching stallone's latest flick, rambo 4.

its really one hell of a show, i'll say. even though its a short 90 mins, maybe less, its still highly rated. its realistic, plus the action is damn shiok, esp the final battle scene. its a great movie, for both fans or non-fans of the 80's rambo trilogy, and i just so happen to be a fan too.

its not for the faint hearted though, cos there's more than the usual score of blood and gore in this installment. stuff like rambo physically tearing out his opponent's throat in single combat, eviscerating the burmese army commander with his bigass combat knife, and making mincemeat out of the burmese army with a .50 cal anti-material mounted mg will make some cringe. not me of course, i thought it was really shiok. seriously, i dont mind watching it again. heck, im even thinking of getting the dvd and watching all the blood and gore fight scenes in slow-mo..haha.

anyway, after the show, we rushed back to singapore, cos al was playing in the chong pang basketball cup, where they got matched up against whye nam sports club in the first round, and ended up getting owned 83-46. lppl la really, since whye nam was too strong.. they had this ang moh centre fr france who's like 2m tall, and 2 national players..even al, who could jump the highest amongst all of us, got rejected by the ang moh, leng leng. said ang moh even made a reverse dunk near the end of the match also.

after the match and dinner at some coffee shop in chong pang, we made our way to safra for ktv, and had a great time singing and fooling ard.

sunday started out with a workout at my local gym with fatass. after gym we made our way to suntec together with gcb and al to do some shopping and have dinner, which was carl's junior at marina sq~fatass's favourite cholestrol and protein laden fast food joint. i think the person clearing our table after we were done must have thought we were monsters, since between the 4 of us, we consumed a total of 8 beef patties; gcb had a single, al and me double and fatass triple, 4 boxes of chilli cheese fries, and four large drinks. lol. great pro meal, as fatass would say.

our after dinner shopping was quite sad, cos even though i planned to buy shoes, clothes and trg gear, i ended up with only a strength trg glove for gym. usual suspects like budget, lack of sizes, unappealing designs, blah blah contributed to our failed shopping trip.

nvm, we took a cab to arab street afterwards and had our first taste of shisha! but not for fatass, who ald tried the poison before. sebast joined us soon after and we played texas hold'em poker, with betting stakes of not money or chips, but puffs of the shisha, which was neverending..even shared amongst all 5 of us, since it could be continuously refilled with charcoal and whatever else that we were smoking. seriously, i think i'll stick to cigarettes for my daily dose of poison. had quite enough shisha to last me for a long time last night. our last hand before we sua tiu was extreme. minimum bet 10 puffs, max no limit. fatass ended up the loser with 40 puffs, with al following closely at 30. lol!

so ended my enjoyable weekend, which was for me, one of the better ones i had in recent times.

heh, first entry of 08. happy new year everyone. so fast, another year has gone by in a flash.

in the last year, many things have happened, none of which more significant than ord-ing, or issit rod-ing fr army. as of 7th may 07, my 2 years of conscription in the saf has come to an end, a permanent one i hope, lol..altho i dont really mind going back for reservist, but still, i can only say, its good to be a civillian once again after 2 long years of blood, sweat and tears slaving away in the singapore army.

even tho some events of those 2 years will stay with me forever, remaining clear as day in my mind's eye, very quickly, 7 months had gone by since i ord-ed, and also nearly the same for when i started working at geberit, as i chose to rest just 1 week after ord..since for me, working is definitely better than nuaing at home everyday waiting for time to pass; of which i have also done alot during the last half year, esp when im on leave or during ph when im not working, i was almost always at home whiling my time away doing essentially.. nth at all. lol.

made some new friends in the last half year, but some of them were essentially friends of yester-years fr my neighbourhood whom i had ceased contact with when i entered poly and army. well, its actually due to the fact that i tend to have lots of contact with only one grp of friends at one time, neglecting the others..lousy way of putting it i guess.. but i think it concludes that i have a small social circle really, so much so that when everyone in a particular grp of friends are engaged with their own activities, im left with alot of spare time to waste at home, playing computer games and watching movies and anime online.

and so, new year's eve was spent almost entirely at home, since i got drunk on red wine and bailey's at fatass's house on the 30th..hahah..and i only woke up late afternn on 31st. met a couple friends for late dinner at ard 11pm, and after dinner, almost got into a fight with one of them over some stupid comment i had made earlier on, because said friend had an even hotter temper than me. what a spectacular way to end the year eh? nah. i chose nt to fight and walk away, as i have been doing for the last few fights i got into..cos its really stupid to trade fists over stupid little things, end up only both of us will come away bruised and du lan.

so once again, new year, fresh start, as many would say. how cliche. for me, new year, but im still doing the same old things i did before..cos i dont believe in setting resolutions like i said long ago before..they nv get done.

anyway, im currently embarking on a weekly cardio and gyming routine with an old friend, as we both aim to get back our old fitness in the army..mostly for vanity's sake i guess, but also because it'll really benefit us in the long run. hope i can sustain longer than 2 months this time rd, lol.

as for what im gg to do this year, i guess its continue working, as i have nice job at my company, good upcoming opportunities, and also the possibility to get a sponsored local part time degree..just that i still have no idea what i want to study, even after pondering for half a year in 07. haiz..

i think i also need to widen my social circle and activity scope to more than just gaming, watching movies and stuff and the occasional drinking; all with the same old ppl. and mayb gcb and fatass are both right, the key to changing my lifestyle and personality is to get myself a gf. hah. so, any hot girls out there want to hook up? or anyone want to introduce some nice girls to me? lol.

seems like its been damn long since i came up to nutang and updated my blog. but then actually its only been a month.

well, nth much really happened actually. what i actually did during this period was go on another trip to kl. but ttz also like 2 weeks old stuff. anyway, i will be gg down there again in the beginning of 08, and probably many times during the coming year. since my job scope is widening into sales and product management and my boss has assigned me to the malaysia market.

wanted to come up here and bitch abt stuff tt im unhappy abt last week, but found tt nutang was down fr some hacking crap, lol. i actually even thought of starting a new blog at blogspot, but was just too lazy to go abt designing a brand new page with all the little things here and there. and when i finally got down to doing it, i couldn't get the domain address i wanted, so fuck it i guess, since nutang was back up after a couple of days.

anyways, during the last month or so, i also got hooked on a new game called wolf team, which is similar to counterstrike, a fps, but with some twists. i was so hooked on it that i played everyday after work and even stop playing dota totally, haha.. i guess deep down inside, i just have to urge to shoot and snipe ppl with rifles and stuff..which explains why i really like fps games. lol.

ytd being christmas eve, wanted to come out with poly pals for a gathering, but since its too last minute, everybody also had their own plans liao, so forget it. nvm, heng i got backup, went bbq at seletar dam with my dota, bball gang. i nv knew bacon tasted so good when bbq until last nite..lol. went to partyworld afterwards and sang until 6am today. great fun, except tt the booze was too ex, otherwise would have gone for more, cos seriously 3 guys to one tower is really nt enough; we had to drink really slow to make it last the full 4 hrs..sian.

very fast, 2007 is gg to be over liao, and i dunno what to think and say again..but nvm, we shall see..merry christmas all.

something's not right, i think. even though i've been back from kl for 3 days ald, i still dont feel like im back..everything's still like sort of surreal, as in, im physically back home, but mentally, i still feel different, like im elsewhere..

mayb its the medicine, or something else totally that's making me feel this way..i dont know la, really.

the moment i got back to singapore on friday afternn, i got damn sick; even on the way back in the coach, i ald felt feverish and stuff...lol, it only got worse upon coming back home..so bad that i had to see the doctor on saturday morning..who came to the conclusion that i must have caught a bug down there in kl sometime during the week, and aided by the unfamiliar climate there, and my chain smoking; lol, 1 pack a day for 4 days in a row...it culminated in the worst way possible and got me bed-ridden the entire weekend, damn.

anyway, even on the way to work today, i still had that surreal feeling somehow. hack, when i woke up in the morning, the first thing i did was to reach beside the bed for a cig, like i did for the entire last week in the hotel while in kl; only to find no cigarettes at all, and rmbring that i'm actually taking a break from smoking because of im still on medication.

ok, enough of the surreal feeling stuff. some bits abt my kl trip..as you might not have guessed..it was actually not a holiday for me, but a working trip..my boss sent me there with another senior colleague to attend commercial meetings together and to help our dealers there out with some technical stuff, and of course to soak up some experience working overseas. haha.

great experience really, i would say, since its the first time in my life that i've done sth like this. did learnt some stuff about working overseas and with different types of ppl and also not to anyhow shoot my mouth off, lest i create unnecessary trouble, lol.

of the 300 plus ringgit that i changed and brought along..200 went to booze, abt 50 to cigs, since they were so cheap compared to back here in singapore; and mayb thats why i got sick also, so unhealthy sia..and the remaining went to miscellaneous stuff like snacking, tipping and stuff. hotel accomodation was paid for by the company, food too, but only the std 3 meals per day.

food there was fantastic, esp the local chinese food, as they did not have such a great emphasis on healthy cooking and stuff, thus most of the time the food we had turned out more flavoursome than one could ever find in singapore.

oh well, i guess there's really nth much else that i could write abt, since most singaporeans have been to kl at least once or twice in their lifetimes, as its only a 5 hr ride by road, or even faster if u choose to go by air.

thought that it was gg to be another same old sunday when i woke up today, consisting of the usual anime, dl-ed movies, dota and bball at night. but it turned out to be quite different and interesting.

In place of the same old things that i usually do on sunday night, i went fishing with alvin, joe, sam, gcb and a couple other friends at pasir ris town park. initially wanted to just go down there to pass time and mayb pick up fishing fr al and co, but it ended up to be quite a lot of fun.

seriously, i did not knw there was so much to fishing; hw you bait the line, toss it, check it, blah blah..right down to hw to guess what kind of fish it was on the other end once its hooked and you're fighting and reeling it in. learned quite a lot today and we actually caught 4 fish..one of them quite big too.. tho i dunno if such an outcome was good or bad for our time spent there (3 1/2 hrs), but it was definitely a fun and brand new experience for me.

at one pt, we even went down on our hands and knees in an attempt to scoop up a fish that constantly swam too close to the edge of the pond, and we did it with our bare hands, since we did not have a net handy. even though we failed, it was still damn exciting while we were at it.

so, next time u feel sian and have nth interesting in mind, find some friends to go fishing..its definitely fun..i for one will surely go again if and when alvin they all have the mood for it.
