Tomb Sweeping

A very tiring sunday, woke up at 5am, washed up and left home at 5:20am to uncle's place (rendezvous point) to meet other family members and set off in dad's pick up to our first location, the choa chu kang cemetery. 6am traffic jam, road marshals everywhere, roads converted to one way... paid respect to grandpa and his mum there.Next stop, bright hill temple. grandma and her mum's ashes were place there. another long traffic jam, super crowded, warm, scorching sun.Next up, mt pleasant, this is the real challenge, bash through thick vegetation, search for tomb, siam all the creepy crawlies, found them after a while, cleared up the year's worth of growth over the tomb, lucky there was no fallen tree.Last location nearby, took a long time to find the tomb cos it was totally covered by growth, dad remembered the location and found the tombstone after searching under the vegetation.On the way back home, sudden downpour, totally drenched at the back of the uncovered pickup, umbrella was useless... totally shack out at at 3pm..

Happy Birthday Leng

Time flies... it seems not too long ago that we had leng's bd celebration at vivo, this year, it's at vivo again, dinner at bosses, a restaurant that i have always wanted to try, cos there were many varying reviews about the food there. more reviews about the food on justximplyfood.We got a table at the side and the wallpaper there was really nice, makes a great backdrop for phototaking. the lights they have there also creates a nice warm ambience.Took quite some photos as usual, all came out nicely with the wonderful backdrop!
Nice cake, nice company, and as usual, jokes all round the table, this time it's about this new prc friend we have called zaina... and she loves the cucumber lemon tea at the bosses restaurant..

Salsa at Bikini Bar

Libing was appointed to run this event at sentosa every sat evening. xen bar will be conducting salsa classes free, for those who happen to be at bikini bar and coastes at siloso beach on saturdays. so last week, i went down with bangzhi to check it out.
Libing invited other friends too, according to him, he told quite a number of people but only a handful of us turned up, so if you are reading this, please bring some friends down to the bikini bar on sat to support our friend here!!
Actually, he has improved quite a lot in terms of his teaching skills, dun play play, he has been dancing every day and teaching every week you know!!

Since we were quite late, decided to have dinner at the bar itself, food was quite good, just a little expensive, 6 chicken wings for $16, and bangzhi had to shuttle between the dance floor and the table cos he wanted to learn as well as eat at the same time!!

Nearing the end of the session, he perspired so much that the dance partners had to try to siam his sticky and slimy shoulders, and according to him, the girls seems a little turned off by his sweat.. haha

Well done libing, and to the rest... remember to go support him if you can afford the time, bring all you friends along, he'll be happy to see you people there.

Eddie's Married!!

Attending eddie's wedding with hanyang and yanping, time really flies, it seems just not too long ago that eddie got attached.. and now he's getting married!!

Here we have the groom, all happy about the day, about the wedding.. but as usual, he had to give us some comic relief, during his speech, which he read from a piece of paper.. he ended with "i would like to think everyone for coming down to the church...." ...ooppss he used the same speech as the one he did for the church ceremony... haha

One thing we noted is that when eddie and stella smile, eddie's eyes will become 2 tiny slits while stella's becomes round and big and watery.. how contrasting..
Even the groom had a change of attire...

Congratulations, baby soon???

Leon and BB Nat

It has been a long time .. i guess i'll just keep the photos of activities happening from cny till now in the hd first .. if i have time i'll back post them ... and i'll try to post updated stuffs... have been really busy with work and very lazy after getting home .. thus haven't been editing the photos..

Went to leon's place, after quite some time, and nat has grown quite a bit!! compare this to the last time i saw him!!

He's much more responsive now, and easily tickled.. but the most interesting part of this visit was to hear leon sing children songs, he even recorded it on vid!!

Gifts from Japan

Met up with lawrence leng and regina . lawr and leng just got back from japan and got me more hard rock drumsticks.. heh heh!! Had dinner at this ramen place in central called marutama, not difficult to find, it has a basketball look alike logo, not a big place, food is quite expensive with little variety but it's really good.
Spent some time sitting around at starbucks before i had to rush off for another appointment!!!
Really outdated entry.. have been too busy with work, will try to finish up all post to get it more updated these few days

New Year Party

Got as sms just a day or 2 before new year from cruz to inform of the new year day party which will be held on 1 jan 2008 at 2:30 am!! got a shock when i saw the timing.. he even did a nice invitation banner ... check it out here. Still has a theme to follow!! how to dress like an 881 character?? in the end i think and think, i decided to go as an audience watching a ge tai performance, and i see that i;m not that only one dressed like that!!

Had some party games like pictionary and charade, and most of it as in hokkien to suit the theme.. lots of prizes and goodies too!! everyone was wide awake even though the party started only at around 330am. and people were still arriving after that!

Even though he didn't win the best dress competition, i still think zt did the best, cos he really took reference from the show and came in almost exactly what liu ling ling wore in the show, just that he doesn't have her size!! even got a measuring tape!!!

The nominees for best dress ... and another thing i noted is that cruz's mum looks damn young man!!! you have a hot mum!!!

Boxing Day Performance

Went down to victoria theatre on boxing day with bingwei zhenhong jerine mingbao and jiehong to watch a performance by the guys from xen bar. and of course tickets were from libing!! he's really improving fast, from casual dancing to street performance to teaching of small classes, and then international competition and now full scale stage performance. all if just around a year. impressive

Went over to lao pa sat for supper after the performance, looking forward for more of his performances coming up!

Christmas Day Gathering

It's christmas day.. gathered at jiehong and mingbao's place in the afternoon, wine was served immediately.. and mahjong started early..
There was a short photo taking session for jerard.. jerard loves to take photo as we can see.. many photos of him from that day, if any of you want the photos, let me know. so here are some of the nicer ones i picked out..

Christmas Eve

Christmas eve party was held at jiemin and james' place, visitors are not allowed to park in the condo.. gotta park at the public carpark, but with some tricks from jiemin, managed to get in and park inside. food was good, esp the satay from clementi, 100 pcs all gone even though everyone claim that they were quite full!!

Main game was guessing the present.. all present had to be somewhat linked to the theme of 'dirty'. some of the items includes toilet paper, brooms, washing power etc.. others includes cd rack (cos it unclutters the messy table), adult comic book (for the dirty minded) etc.. here are some of the more interesting pictures, lots more, but no time to edit and post them all.


It was a nice gathering, everyone had fun and food was good...

Pre Christmas Meetup

Managed to get js ripple and borong to meet up just before christmas, passed them their gifts and had a nice dinner at sakae teppanyaki at bugis junction.the food was quite good, we ordered 3 sets to be shared by 4 person, and the amount was just right, price came out to be about $20 a person, satisfying dinner i must say.

Some interesting conversation that we had during dinner, but i'm writing this so long after the event, it might not be 100% accurate, but the jist is there. try to check out the food pix on justximplyfood before reading on, it'll be more interesting.

br: how come the butter on the hotplate won't melt one huh?
jx: because it is tofu and not butter

jx: the bamboo clams are really nice.
br: which one is the bamboo clam
jx: ... erm.. the one where the shell is long shaped like bamboo..
br: oh that one is the shell ar, i thought it's a decorative dish

jx: wah so much garlic for the fried rice, must be really nice.
br: wah, must have taken them a long time to chop so much garlic
jx: heard of the blender?

Proceeded to tcc for chit chat and to play with borong's new camera, now that he has a blog, he gotta learn how to take nice photos with his camera. remember to check our his blog here!!

SIM Bash

Sim held a bash at zouk, and bangzhi got tickets for us cos he was performing at the event.Saw bangzhi and the dancers at the entrance, preparing to go on stage to show what they have for us!! if i'm not wrong, they are all students at sim, and this is sim's own dance team...
Performance was great, full of energy and power.. we stayed throughout and watched the pageant, i left after the event while chiver, yutong and bangjie stayed on to club..
While i was about to leave, this girl came up to bangzhi and said she was from strait times, urban section, and wanted to interview him, cos they are featuring 1 hot guy and 1 hot gal every week.. and she finds bangzhi hot enough to get on the papers... embarassing part came when she asked him where he got the clothes and how much they were.. and he had to answer.. "they all belong to my brother."..

Yutong's Birthday

Was busy at work, so couldn't join yutong chiver bangzhi and bangjun for ice skating at the new skating ring in kallang. met up with them later in the evening for dinner at old airport road.
Food was generally good, and so was the company.

Happy birthday yutong!!

Terminal 3

Yihan went on a trip to new zealand, so me and terry went to the airport to meet him for dinner before he leaves for his holiday, of course we had popeye's, even though the queue is very long... but it's worth the wait, they should expand their counter size.

Before leaving the airport, we took the chance to walk around the new terminal 3, i was really impressed by the glass baricades... the glass panels were really huge, i cannot imagine how they were brought into the building, must have be installed even before the exterior walls were up.. personally i like the use of glass in interior decor, terminal 3 is just fantastic, it really removes the usually structure where transit area is hidden away from the public area, with these glass walls, you can actualy feel yourself in the transit area. I wonder if the boarding experience is different from this terminal, hhmmm when will i have a chance to find out?



I wonder if this weighing mahine is well calibrated.. if it is, then i have to do something about the one i have at home.. cos when i stood onto this one, my weight was 2kg more that that of the one i had at home!!! i have been deceived for the past few years.. it's time to slim down!!.
