Dance First. Think Later.... It's the order of life

Oh UCC theatre... how i've missed you so. And now i think i've got too much of you.... making me wait inside you for 2 days to perform was a bit much. but i enjoyed it all the same.

Kinda sad that its over... but somehow, there werent any withdrawal symptons to speak of... which is good.

Too tired to blog much.... just would like to say a big thank you to people who came to support. people from We Got Class and Treasure. Enjoyed myself tremendously. And of cos... more specifically my wife and my kids. and alexis the bitch.

Super shag

I cant really remember what happened last weekend. I am too tired to think abt anything. BUt i am quite sure it consists of dance dance and more dance.... oh yes and cheerobics. Which steppers totally RAWKED.

Anw, i am too super shag.... this week is going to be more dancing again... its time for my 4th DU.... still getting excited. In fact it excites me more than work right now. I cant wait for it... but at the same time, cant wait for it to be over... cos i am really very tired. :(

My stomach is acting up again... i hope nothing happens these few days. I hope its not appendicitis... i remember huanchao kena-ing it just before exams and he had to be rushed for operation. MY GOD.... pelase dun let that happen if not i will just cry.

ok... a few more hours more at work... tmr going to pulau ubin... hopefully it ends early for me to go back for blocking and tech run... and then... IT"S SHOWTIME!!!

I am a Chinaman??

Was awoken by a very bad stomachache on Tuesday midnite.... aye... its one of those monthly diahorrea that i have. I am starting to think i really have some form of colon/stomach cancer/IBS.

Went to the doctor on Tuesday and he said "i think you have a Chinaman stomach".... ie i cannot anyhow eat things. Somehow, i was slightly offended... cos i used to tink my stomach is actually quite strong....

I didnt lao sai during my trip to indo unlike half the people i was with... i can practically eat anything and my stomach almost always doesnt rebel.... Den he said its probably the chicken wings i ate at KR..... maybe the hair wasnt properly removed... DAYUM. now i got phobia of eating KR chicken wings....

den come to think about it... when i was in France, i shat like nearly 3 to 4 times a day.... i think its becos of the yoghurt i ate everyday. and i always lao sai the day after GG session. AYEEEE the lengths i would go to to get high/eat good food.

MAYBE i do have a chinaman stomach afterall :P

DANCE DANCE DANCE

done nothing this weekend except dance.... and i LOVE IT. nuff said

was supposed to study for my arabic spelling sometime during the past week but i was so not free every single day... of cos i failed it ABYSMALLY. like 1 upon 8. no thanks to 3 days of dance and 1 day of BS outing.

And i think... i need to seriously rest my back and my knees... cos it is like really fucked.

and more imptly.... i need something MAJOR to happen in my life right now cos it is insanely monotonous. i need to be jolted outta my system. like right now.

of back breaking stunts part 2, spelling & taboo

Looks like my Australia trip is more or less going to happen no matter what. Van and I have decided to go even if we couldnt find anyone else. Loves it... probably going to book the tickets by end march. Loves it.

Anyway, Friday was spent dancing my night away. once again, it was madness... the dance room's aircon is seriously getting from bad to worse. dunno wassup with the aircon.... it used to be arctic cold inside but now its just warm and stuffy and smelly. It got so hot i had to change my top for the 2nd item's practice cos i was almost soaked thru.... and stank ver badly myself. hahah.

Had to do more backbreaking stunts... but i think i should be ok with that now... my back doesnt hurt as much and i actually did a couple of handstands myself that nite...

After that had a mini GG session with Alexis, CT and Bixs.... and we had to hide inside ALexis's room cos we didnt wanna kena fine.... but we were all so tired it ended within... 2 hours? hahaha. look at all the unglam photos we took. Totally rocks. Thanks Alexis for organising.... sort of.

After drinking, i was so looking forward to sleeping but when i got to the lounge the 2nd floor guys were eating MACS inside.... dammit. Didnt exactly know what happen inside cos i cant remember but i remembered being very hungry cos macs is my ultimate comfort food and yukai was eating MACWINGS and i was like DAYUMMMMM. ok random

Saturday. Slept damn little. Had to wake up to go bugis street to shop for costume... yay settled my costume for Dismas item... now i just need to find black fisherman's pants!!! WHO HASSSSSS!!!!! and a nice all black top... sian. goign to spend more money.

Rushed off to my arabic lessons.... had spelling. geez been like 20 years since i last used this word "spelling". got 7/10. sian. hahahaha the language is growing on me.... cos i think i write nice arabic words. still dunno a lot of words thou cos we are still recognising letters only.

After class, rushed off to Purvis Street minds cafe to celebrate JP's birthday.... it was a really good deal la!! 21 bucks from 7.30 to 12am and it includes a 3 course dinner and free flow drinks! and the food is really quite good!

The couple... thanks xinwei for organising...:)

everyone else...

We played taboo and i was totally embarrased cos when dismas said "cheong chye experienced this when he first left school and started working" and i was like "ok i know the correct term is mid life crisis"but i ened up spouting nonsense shit like middle life syndrome... and me and weijie started laughing like mad.... what the shit....middle life crisis. But i think i RAWKED at taboo.

Played sommore lame games like captain clueless.... jungle speed and things like that.... QUITE FUN!! ddnt know minds cafe can be so fun... this is probably my 2nd time at these kinda establiahments...

YEah..... after that Step and i impromptu went for drinks and we called it a nite... and i got home at 4am again... and i am TOTALLY shagged out.

next week, there is going to be 4 days of dance. shit man. hopefully i dun have to cab back all 4 days of i will just cry.

There are some things in life...

that you just have to get used to and get over it... like:

1. When you wanna do work, there is no work to be done. When you dun wanna do work... it piles like crazy

2. No matter how good a dancer (you think) you are, as long as you are tall... SORRY. you gotta stand at the back

3. People who you think their studies sucks like shit in school, end up earning more than you and leading glamourous lifestyles

4. There train's aircon seems to be nonexistant and stinks like mad, esp on a hot day

5. Why some people choose to ignore deadlines...

6. There are no cabs at 10pm in River Valley and I had to wait for wat seemed like forever.

7. My weight is stagnant even after months of exercising. :(

ok shuddap

of rainbows, back breaking stunts and buffalo wings!

What a week...

I was at LTA for some meeting on Wednesday. As I walked towards the MRT, i saw the most amazingly shaped rainbow i have ever seen!! perfect arc... my god circumference = pi r squared!! hahaha. SO PRETTY!... I think quite a lot of pple in Spore saw the spectacle too... and there were not just one! when i came out of Bugis, I am quite sure i saw another one... and another one somewhere else... like carebears on steroids shooting powers everywhere!! hahaha. I think rainbows are one of those things that you can never get sick of looking at.... like fireworks and new born babies.... :)

Friday was dane prac as usual... As most people know by now, I am now officially in 2 DU items instead of one cos they needed one more guy in the contemp.... but boy oh boy, i was totally whacked out and shagged out after dance for 5 hours. I really cannot take it. And what's more.... its 2 hours of KRUMPING and 3 hours of BACK BREAKING STUNTS for the contemp piece. I really hate to do stunts. and i have to do handstands??!! Like please.... i am too freaking old to be playing with my spine. It is still hurting today.... dunno if i injured myself or its just some pulled back muscles.... seriously hope its the latter. Cant keep up the pace of the young ones... OLD FART. But i have to say i LOVED the contemp choreo. I think xiaoyuan is a GENUIS!

Was too late to go home so i decided to stay over.... went for supper with the dudes and i loved it :) But i also dun get some of the jokes they are talking about nowadays... once again, old fart.

Apparently there's some "sex tape" of sorts circulating around NUS. Some Eusoff guy and some girl was caught having sex.... of cos there werent any sex scenes cos the pple recorded it from outside... but their moans were seriously not.... like sexmoans.... its quite funny really. I think i can fake better sex moans anytime. HWAHAHAHAh. But then again, i dunno why pple are so WU LIAO to record pple having sex... just let them procreate la!!! govt need babies anyway...

Sat I went for my first arabic class... I know. everyone is asking why arabic of all languages.... AIYAH. My sister wants to learn. and she asked me to... and since i have so many malay frens... Learn their culture la right!?!? I love me some malays... Quite difficult i would say... cos i have to write from right to left... but its quite addictive to write cos i love looknig at my own handwriting HAHAHAH. havent really learn any new words.... just practised recognising them and writing fictitious words. And i tot french was hard.

Skee board came to fetch me and QingYi from BUgis and carol and Siwei to go Sembawang to eat at BUCKAROO!! Kinda sick to go town everytime so decided to venture to the North aka equivalent-to-JB for some good food. The buffalo wings are supposedly quite good and we were all famished like siao so we ordered like crazy pple.

The hungry people waiting for their food!

Oh wei wei so sorry u are not in any of the photos... next time alright?! haha

The clam chowder in a bread bowl... it looks really plain but it taste really good. warm, fuzzy and comforting feeling. Homemade goodness haha.

WOOHOO calamari oh yeah babyyyy

The buffalo wings... we ordered level 2 "volcano".... actually u can order up till level 10 (the spicier u want, the more u'd have to pay)....level 2 is just nice. But i think i can tahan till 3 or 4.... next time!

Our triple platter... seriously meat galore... and we had one pizza before that (no pics) which we didnt even finish cos we were too bloody full... i think i need to detox...

Desserts! which was a bit disappointing cos not very nice... budden alright la. i was too full to eat them anyway.

I tot it would be super expensive but it wasnt! It was only 26 bucks (and we even have beer!) WOOTS!

Hanged ard at Macs at AMK after that... talked a lot of cock about the atrocity of fast food... talk about blinding mr kew. Talked about.... everything and finally we were too tired and heading home :))) I think we should go somewhere else even more exotic for gahterings next time!! BOYCOTT TOWN.

THATS ALL FOLKS!

BBQ :)

Dismas tot some krumping moves on Friday nite.... which totally rocks... cool beyond words... but also meant that my body was aching the next day... like madly aching...

Sat evening had a bbq at waterboi's place... the rain cleared up just in time and the weather was great... I lugged 2 bags of food to redhill to the amazement of the rest... but really it wasnt that heavy. maybe the months of gym finally paid off... haha watever.

kong weijie the man who refuses to grow up climbed on the pit to fan the charcoal... ma de. bloody monkey

Aili and waterboi who kindly let us use him place for the bbq and sponsered a few bottles of wine. THANKS MAN!

the happy people :))) thanks to me okkk... TO ME. SEE... if u wanna have something to do on a weekend, the only person you can always rely on is yourself to get things done..... i think i rock.

WIth alexis whom a few pple think is my gf... SHE IS NOT MY GF.... for the record. We are just alcoholics who like to drink with each other. HAAHA :)

Step, the rare guest of the evening.... we've missed u... and of cos Ms Khaw too who wasnt able to make it.... we had a great time... talking about dance, gossiping... and ended up talking about ghost stories... which made my hair stand and teared a bit.... haha.....

the booze...

ultimately, it was super enjoyable... super tiring and smelly. but it was worth it :)) Headed home around 1130pm. Pretty early considering my standards. watched a couple of episodes of greys and private practice, sipping on my baileys..... and slept like a baby after. cool shit.

Just came back from dinner at Changi Beach CLub with my relatives, celebrated my grandma's and auntie joleen's bday. bloated like fuck. but what an enjoyable weekend!

Gonna go try out the buffalo wings at sembawang next week. cant wait... long time since i saw skee and gang. Toying with the idea of joining one more item for DU.... but i really dunno if i can commit. tell me what i shud do?!! TELL ME.

PAT ON BACK!

I just finished working on some presentation slides from 8pm till 11pm earlier! so proud of myself... I went to Gym earlier and i was dead beat but i still managed to lug my laptop back to do this!! so hardworking right??~~ hehehe. Watever!!!



Looking forward to this weekend! :)

Saint Valentine

As u guys know... went on a blitz biz trip to Bangkok which lasted all of ... 30hours? Wham bam thank you mdm... the life of a international jetsetter... haha. Tot that the weather would be good cos i read in the news that the temp dropped to 15deg a couple of weeks back... (the world is coming to an end... i am pretty sure of that).... but of cos it was hot as hell. Not going to blog more about my work cos i dun wanna get fired... but i shall leave you with a picture:

Makes you wonder what kinda gems they sell right? *winks

Friday went to UCC to watch Hall Prod... wouldnt have gone. But Dennis had a free ticket. so, i went. Yeah i know i am a freeloader. But i dun care... i am not spending 15bucks on hall prod when i have NEVER enjoyed it for the past 4 years. But i must say this year's songs and costumes were really quite good. For once all the actors could sing and dance to some extent. Thou the draggy script was kinda a letdown.

By the time it ended was already 1015pm. Had to rush back to hall to drink with alexis as i was going to meet Khalid after that. And we managed to whack one bottle of Merlot in... 30mins. Like drinking shots. haha.

The poison du jour

Both of us were dressed in purple. drinking wine.... how apt.

Althou we had only 30mins, seemed like we talked a lot! haha. Quite fun! ALEXIS we shud do this more often... macam speed dating. Loves it.

Took a cab to meet khalid to drink more wine and alcohol... went clubbing. music sucked ass. I am never going back to that place. I've never had any fun there. ok watever. took a cab back...puked after getting out of the cab... i have come to think that i can actually hold my liquor... but the bloody cab drivers always drive like they are on steroids... bloody hell drive so fast. always end up puking after alighting.

Sat was uber boring cos i didnt do ANYTHING. my god. so sad right, no one asked me out. AYE! In an attempt not to saty home next Sat nite, i have decided to organise a bbq... take things into my own hands. bitches. you better come.

OK BYE BYE!

Bangkok bound

Seems like weekends and short work weeks are what i am looking forward to these days... which is bad. haha

Met up with Ernest Hafiz and Khalid for dinner on Wednesday. Realised almost everyone I know have been called up by Mindef already.... for recall manning, high key, low key ICT.... except me. Which made me slightly paranoid... why are they not calling me back!! A part of me wants them to never call me for reservist but another part wants NS to be done asap so i forever not need to wear army fatigues anymore... oh well.

Was a slightly chillax weekend. Went for dance prac on Friday... had to freestyle. GOd i hate to freestyle... freestyling should be banned. But that's just me. Alumni steamboat was going on as well.... was supposed to drop by before dance prac.... but... when i went there were probably on 10pple present... none of whom i am remotely close with.... so i hopped back into the lift and went to dance room. aiyah.... headed for some supper, nua-ed a bit and went back home.

Saturday.... feeling the lack of activities the nite before.... randomly asked Siwei out for dinner. Wanted to ask Carol and Skee but none of them were free. So it was just the 2 of us. went to creperie des arts at selegie... I was really hungry so we we went there waaay to early, before the opening time. so we ended up drinking iced tea at macs at Paradiz centre... man that place is wierd.... with A LOT OF MAT ROCKERS... i dunno why... there were probably a gazillion mat rockers dressed in emo wear (ie vest-skinnytie-skinny jeans combi) and some looked like neo nazis... that whole place gave wierd vices.

hung around for 30mins before going back to the creperie... pretty pricey shit... but the food was actually quite good. the dessert crepes were like OMG heavenly.... serious. Best crepe ever... the owners are French from Brittany so i got to practise my french a lil bit. Siwei being the eager beaver of cos took this chance to verbal diahorrea with them. OH WELLS.... 3 crepes one coke and one cidre.... 60bucks. ex right?? but siwei's treat so watever.

Wanted to go to Tmbre at Mt Sophia... realised the only way up was thru this inconspicuous flight of stairs beside the Cathay... and it was seriously like a back alley where all the kitchen fumes were dissipated.... we ended up smelly like fried chicken by the time we reached the top. very smelly. please find someone who drives if you wanna go there to avoid smelling like KFC/fried stuff.

Arrived at Timbre at 8... had an hour of happy hour left. GREAT. we ordered buffalo wings, calamari, 2 cocktails and 2 mocktails.... listened to some live music... talked a lot more random stuff.... gossip, complaining about life... and left at ard 10pm.

Not wanting to go down the stairs of Mount Doom, we decided to make a right turn and walk down the road.... which we tot would bring us closer towards somerset.... so we walk... and walk and walk..... all the while not knowing where the road would lead to... saw some waaay to atas condo at Mt Sophia... kept complaining that we would NEVER make enuff money to live here..... walked past the Istana... and tot we were on the right track.... until we finally reached the main road and realised.... WE WERE BACK AT PARADIZ CENTRE.... like WAT THE FUCK just happened.... we turned right hoping to go nearer to Somerset... and ended up further away... twilight zone lor. Either that or i have really poor sense of direction... which i REFUSE to believe.... ok watever.

So we headed home and called it a night... and it was only wat.... 1030pm? i resent this... my weekends are gradually getting more and more uneventful... its been eons... (and i mean EONS) since i got wasted and clubbed and had GG sessions in hall and i HATE IT. Weekends are supposed to be FUN and HAPZ, and not having NOTHING TO DO and going home to sleep early.....you have weekdays catered for that. MA DE. HAte IT.

Anyway.... will be heading to Bangkok for work on Tuesday.... and coming back on Wed.... YES... its a 24hour thing. dun ask me why. i dun actually wanna go. I am afraid i will never get to come home if there are any crazy ass riots at the Bangkok airport... DAMMIT. and its for 24hours. wat the hell. It would be like i never left singapore... OH WELL.

New York, I Love You

I remember watching Paris, Je T'aime at one of my fren's place, in Paris, during my SEP. It was during a very traumatic period of my life, just after i got detained at the Berlin airport... i was super emotionally unstable... and he showed me this film, and i tot... ah fuck, i love France anyway.... cos the film was so beautifully shot and imma sucka for love... (the trailer doesnt do the film justice... and u can probably find all 18 parts on youtube anyway... just dunno if there are any subtitles for the french speaking parts...)

So you can imagine my excitement when i found out they were going to make a new movie about NEW YORK!!! okkkkk i have never been to New york but i'm sure i would love the place



cant wait

:))))

What a hectic weekend.

Friday was still feeling sickish. Went to Jurong East to see doctor and had a day MC but decided to go office anyway becos it was Albert's last day and we were going to have a farewell lunch at Bali Thai at IMM.... cant imagine he stayed in my company for 6 years... I've worked for less than a year and it already feels like 1000 years.

Went home after lunch and slept like a baby after taking the meds. Had to pangseh FK for dinner plans at Timbre but still met up with the lads at his place for poker at his place... So glad that so many of them turn up (Wenhan, See Guan, Bonan, Weijie, WeiTee)... and heartwarming to know that we have all kept in touch after all these years on a semi-regular basis (no thanks to poker)... wow it has been 13 years... thats over 4000days. Lost some money but seriously, its the company that counts.

Saturday was just a mad dash to everywhere. Woke up just in time to bathe and zipped off to Ah Ma's house for lunch/celebrate sis's bday/lion dance

The birthday girl with my cousin...

And here comes the lion!! In electric blue... quite cool eh!! Never seen a blue lion before!!!

The whole Chong Gang with God of Fortune!! HUAT ARRRRR!!

The lucky no that we were given... but we couldnt buy them as the number was already "sold out" by the time we got to Spore Pools... which made us wonder if the the troupe gave the same no to EVERY house they've performed hahaha.

My fav guy....

After that, came home, rested for less than an hour and rushed off back to DHS for Scouts reunion dinner... gosh it must have been... at least 2 years since i last set foot at the Tanjong Rhu campus... and the newly renovated place is ginormous to say the least... didnt get to explore much and headed straight for the food!

Preparing to Lo Hei!!

Rovers batch of '02

Hitched a ride from Wilson to Lavender MRT to go for Funka finals, this time held in conjunction with Chingay and City Alive... DAMN was it PACKED man....

Was damn upset that it was a standing area, cos i paid 16 bucks for it and i expect at least a seat.... but thank god i was tall enough to see the show... Chunting on the other hand... well.... probably saw heads bobbing up and down only. And guess who won in the end... HAMZA's team. LIKE ok, well done. Time for you to retire from tertiary competitions you old fabulous fart. Really.

The DANCERS of Kr who were there to support Dismas and Zhiwen who imo did a much better job than the 3rd place... OH WELLS> watever.

Saw some b blockers who were there to support dismas as well...

So cute right, this couple... hahah. ANyway, went for some supper... and headed home for a break.

Shagged out.... another new week awaits....
