Cant recall EVERYTHING and especially now that SCH...YES the final year has started. i shall do it in a nutshell, collage style haha. Click on the banner on the left for a bigger view of what i have been doing for the past 2 weeks before school started haha.

Shd be enough fun for me to have no regrets turning into a nerd for the final year haha. keeping my fingers crossed. No Hostel means home stay for me, well not too bad i guessed. hanging out with my siblings more and housekeeping BAOed by my mum. haha finally got my room up and going thanks to Nas and Liu.... really needed it man.

wheres the $$$

Worked one month liao, salary get stuck..............Since thats the case, can i get stuck at hm? ARGH!!! Bad tuesday, hopefully the soccer session will be bloody good later.

Realised i've been using super lousy english on my blog....... probably due to too much last min blogging or the late nights have damaged my brain's language dept. Had a pretty good laugh while going through some of my old posts........time to backtrack and do some editing on my posts.

Anyway, Live Earth weekend is over. Other than the Mega watts power consumption for the global concerts and staging of HUGE TV screening of the event locally, seems like our local marketing geniuses feel like putting the nails into our earth's coffin.

i am seriously not against the Bring your own bag attempt to reduce the plastic usage every month but since then everywhere is selling recycle bags.

It has become the IN thing nowadays. probably all major supermarkets have their unique bags and even designers are riding the hype with "green" bags...... check out the Anya Hindmarch team's sell out "I AM NOT A PLASTIC BAG" Its ideology behind the bag aside, is it helping? haha lastly, the cherry atop the icecream....... Old Chang Kee recycle bags to keep all the deep fried goodies anyone???

Durian wore.....

Haha, yup ang mos really cant take the king of fruits. Brought 2 americans, Jason and Eric and a french, Brice to taste the amazing fruit. haha they think they will blank out after smelling the fruit from across the road. These dudes were on summer program in boring NTU, so sherlyn and I decided to spice up their life a bit after hearing their complains, SG NO PLACE TO GO ONE. haha

Got them to try frog porridge, they thought it was pretty alrite till eric was so sure he had taken the frog's pelvis part.......think he was probably think it left a funny after taste in his mouth haha. we walked down to the you tiao shop for some bean curd and deserts before heading to the durians (fruits for digestion) challenge. haha

ordered only 2 durian, and i think it was me who ate the 2 durians loh, the 4 big men ate only 4 bites la (totally waste of the king of fruits' seeds). After which, i brought them down the infamous Lorongs of Geylang. haha think i totally freaked them out that day, showing them the "chickens" out on the street. haha you would have laughed at their faces when they were grabbed by the arms!!! ok next up FAREWELL NATIONAL STADIUM!!!

Penyabong fishing trip

OK, i know this is long overdue, but hey...its never too late right? haha anyway me and my fishing kakis, liu and nas decided that we must go for our fishing trip...we been saying for donkey years la, haha. we got our stuffs, the live prawns and equipment and off we went in the middle of the nite, stopping only for gas and RAMLI BURGER (dun ask me why no pics, i slpin in car haha) 3 hrs to PENYABONG!!! when we reach there it was really late and we put up at nas's kampong friends place. no lights and bathing from a well really make me feel like in a kampong. SHIOK!!! ok i been lazy prior to the trip so only got to tie my rigs when we reach there.... torn the whole nite loh.
YAWNZ, the family sells glutinous rice with spicy mackerel at mersing, IT TASTE SHIOK LA. wonder why dun have such good ones in SG haha. Me and liu had our bf while the rest did their prayers. we cant wait to start fishing haha. the jetty was packed with ....SG CARS -_- ". apparently many people take boats from that jetty either for fishing or the nearby islands. the jetty is exactly the same since i last went there. nostalgic woh. we drag our overpacked stuffs onto the boat and off we go..
Although we didnt get any BIGGIES for the trip which we were aiming for, jigging was good. I realised after the trip, the saying, "where the birds are, the fishes lies waiting" actually got some truth. we hooked up fishes for i think a non stop 2 hrs! woot! We went to a particular spot where there were actually poles sticking out of the water.........WE SAW a school of Wild dolphins!!! "hey take camera leh,......" all only know how to say but kept staring at them wahaha.

Nas's dad got pretty sea sick when we starting our night fishing, we decided to drop him off and bring some of our catch to cook at their kampong restaurant. I LOVE FRESH SEAFOOD haha, the mee goreng there is SURDUP!!! see all our happy faces, haha later all suffer after the full stomach, think all got giggy after we went back to the sea for the rest of the night.
We returned back to solid ground the next morning, where we rested our sun roasted bodies and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon in the kampong. see the road, the sides of the road is full of cow dung. the cows get to wonder ard freely. hey "sky shit" cow dung your relative? the place we stayed at is pretty good and better off than most other kampong houses as the guy was considerably wealthier in the village. after washing up and a hearty meal we left for chendol at mersing haha me? slp and slp in the car wahaha......... cant wait to go back there again

Tagged.....

Not sure how far this tagged virus has spread.....but dear zhiyu just tagged me .... (background)

Each player of this game starts out by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog!

It seems that i have to say weird things of myself!....... Zhiyu, i know you're weird, but i'll try hard to act weird k ;)

1) Not sure if you label this as weird......my friends call me social butterfly and yup i love to be in the company of my buds and pals and of cos my sweetheart. But deep down, i'm still a lone ranger...yup including traveling alone.....my journeys in the states made me realised that haha. of cos sherlyn hate that but i believe that time to yourself is very very important and i dun mean locking urself from the world just becos you are down or pissed with sth. Think some of you out there will agree with me, TRY IT.... of cos dun tell your gf or bf i say one, think they probably will chop me. haha haiz, cant wait to hit the road.
2) most boys out there my age are probably obsessed with wheels or rather CARS.....but nope, I LOVE TOYS....yup even at my age...... game cards...munchkin etc!!!! Marvel figurines! comics! haha. yup this explain why alex is always so freaking poor although i think i spend considerably more on FOOD......$ spent on food is dangerous wahaha. yup those who dun noe me would probably be thinking this stupid alex is some LAO WAN TONG wahahaha. TRANSFORMERS!!! go go go haha.

3) shit i running out of weird stuffs, haha told you people i very normal one. hmmm i think most people have weird eating habits bah....heres one of mine. most people know i love chilli, but i guess wont know wat i eat chilli with.......hmmm heres some of the stuffs.......bread, marshed potato, plain porridge, potato chips and hmmm anything.......

4) for the lazy ass i am, u'll be surprised that i label slp as a waste of time wahahaha. I hate taking naps in the afternoon, but then again, you wont find me doing anything constructive also. probably playing soccer, using the comp surfing the world wide web or just plain slacking. wahaha i slp only when i am dead tired or on sherlyn's bed. think her bed got some drozzy virus, everything go find her, lay down on her bed.............she would hear me snoring liao wahahaha.

5) my fave comics are actually Dilbert and Baby blues wahaha........spiderman is actually just my fave comic character wahaha (is this considered weird?) hmmm my life ambition is actually be a house husband, cook and relax, do the groceries. this one probably is weird, i enjoy walking supermarkets than super shopping malls. wahahaha?

6) I used to love the idea of keeping exotic pets haha, ITS ILLEGAL btw and actually by getting those poor animals you would be supporting the black market for them. I've kept a scorpion before and my campmates ended up calling me piranha scorpion alex wahaha. the piranha is up to your imagination then, perhaps i have a tank of them to get rid pple i find annoying. but relax, that weird part is over, now wat i wan is to set up a mini small fish tank k! :)

ok thats it, darn tough coming up with all these points......time to spread the virus:
here goes.....

1) Aska
2) Yen
3) doggie min
4) Sky Shit or self proclaimed angel
5) Vilo
6) YL
7) yulin
8) Jing
9) Felix




end of another phase...........


The world is never full of strangers, but friends yet to know....... I'm glad to know these bunch of people during my half year at the boring place (work i mean). These people spark up the dull workplace haha and i will miss the fun joy and laughter we all chip in to light up each others' day.

the mini outings and time at my "interns home" probably did help foster some true friendship haha. oh yah, about the above collage, Aska the superwoman wananbe was the mascot for the NTU peeps last day wahahaha. Till our paths meet again people, and always feel free to jio uncle alex for a cup of kopi!!! haha. see ya when i do see ya pple again!!!

Stress relief

haha saw this in office today, a big bubble sheet to pop your way to stress free!!! haha cool eh.......boy do i need a SUPER-sized bubble sheet

Last thurs was another Timbre nite!, having never been to timbre on a thurs nite b4, i was looking fwd to what music actually awaits me. Since matt was going to be late, me and junhan decided to head down to the Museum to burn some time before the music.................and WOOT! didnt expect so MUCH Lamborghinis to be waiting for us!!! it was a launch party of the new 100kg lighter Gallarado!!! COOL!

More surprises awaited us as it turns out that the nite's music was by ublues - universal blues band. Danny Loong, the owner of timbre plays the lead and keys on the far left. They started Down Under but now based in Sg, probably our biggest local band export ever - with an internationally acclaimed album - get on the blues train. haha i am not a vivid blues listener, but they're pretty good, and yup you dont get to see them playing often.

the trio of friends from Overdrive 2006, me rahmat and Jh (also my roomie last semester). the 2 of them are the music experts haha matt who strings and sings for Sponge, while junhan is the bass man for Stentorian. We had a good time tokking about a particular alien who have to carry his balls in his bag.....dont ask me who. setting up a daily clicks on the right of the blog, u can find their myspace music there..

the stars of the night, serena and rahmat! happy get together!!! matt was just dating her while we were chilling at wala wala the other time, and now they're together haha. they're an interesting pair.......serena will rant at matt, "you go straight down to hell, not the 18th but the 20th!!!" while matt's lines are probably too harsh for blogging, "&%*$******&". haha.......well thats it for the nite..........still got the entire weekend to blog about haha

Congrats to Man Utd, and thanks Arsenal anyway for holding them to the draw, although i have to say, wilson has his heart in his mouth during the last 20 mins........credits to 10 men chelsea, u could have nicked 3 pts to continue the fight. check out my new banner for the victory!!!! anyway wat was jose doing at the end of the match? i told aska he was bonkers.....bet the stress is getting onto him

Housemaid Mayday

Haha, Mayday!!! haha feels good to have a holiday in the middle of the week, gets the week going easier also.

Enjoyed totally my soccer session in the morning, but 3+ hours in the morning, no wonder i got my sunburn! (got to enjoy all my remaining soccer sessions b4 i officially become lame) but lets leave that worry for another day eh.

Mum was busy at my grandma place, thus i decided to be the house-maid for the day, went to do shopping @ NTUC (not orchard k) for dinner, green curry chicken and broccoli. hee hee.

dinner was good, but lazy to post pics, haha pretty tiring considering that i just finished soccer. haiz.....and my idiot bro only keep yelling....."hungry" haha

decided to try rachel's baking blog's recipe: thelazychef!!! haha i modified her blueberry mini cupcakes with raisins also...............it was good!!! haha the feminine side of mojo haha!!!
brought some to work for my IA peeps, haha got some good responses.......hmmm pastry sure can make pple happy eh......................

The recipe was pretty simple and the only thing i complained about was the price of dried blueberries....100g = $9.90 (ARGH!)











Delivered the 1st batch of blueberries cupcakes for sherlyn, haha she was mugging as usual........... feels good doing so much in a day..........but then again still got so many to do....argh!!!



Man utd lost miserably to Milan 3-0, haiz, but then again experience probably counts..........1 hand couldnt probably count the number of players they have in the team that have already won a champions league medal before. the better team won in the end! good luck to Milan for the finals.....will be looking out for Maldini to lead them probably for the last time!
