Meet-the-staff session

Saw my group members for YOG housekeeping today! All of them looked quite nice and should be easy to work with. So looking forward to it! There's only one xiao mei mei and 3 of my afternoon shift colleagues are busy. Working in this project reminds me of the ezlink card replacement project...it was a happy period for me cos of friends from my group 14,if i rmb correctly. which reminds me of our team leader RAJ, who always kena bullied by the 3 of us. Nice guy but hes not that capable and wasn't liked by other leaders. Also dunno how fellow gambler Yanlong is doing now... Just wished jiexi and isabelle happy birthday a few days ago and it occured to me whether we will meet up again in the future...everyone is busy with different stuff and has found new cliques as we moved on.

Back blog: Genting trip

We finally went to Genting on 14-16 july 2009!! The idea was postponed from May after exams due to lack of cash. We decided to travel there by train since tanjong pagar KTM is going to be teared down next year. its a really small place and zhenjie comment that it feels like Malaysia once you stepped into the station. No wonder because every sign has Malayu on it and there's even a State of Malaysia crest in the station. Passing custom was hassle free and fast, its a good way to enter Malaysia during peak periods, but i think u need to book the tickets beforehand. The trip was 8hours because it stops at various stations but the bed compensated for the time wasted. The price for an upper deck bed is $40 and $46 for a lower deck cos there's more space and larger window to emo...
No queues at the ticket counter! Cos theres only 2 trains a day to KL and a few shuttle trains to JB Danga City Mall
The train was real long! About 10 cabins?
Zhenjie in the train...not as lok kok as we expected...
L6 was our cabin...remember those bollywood movies where the female lead would stand at the doorway waving goodbye and the male lead running after the train? haha
We went shopping at KL for half a day before checking in at First World Hotel. It holds the Guinness Records of the most number of rooms in a hotel- which is 6000 rooms! No big deal though, cos its rooms was just normal, the check-in counters works like polyclinics. Luckily it was not a peak period or else we had to wait for hours!! We waited for 30minutes though, considered long since its an off peak. The dining room for buffet breakfast was HUGE! The food served sucks like hell. Only the bread, fried noodles, eggs were kind of edible. The rest looked like leftovers from ytd's dinner. BUT HERE"S THE MAIN PT- it charges 45RM per room a night with FREE breakfast, which means s$10 a pax a night. So for that price, u cant complain about anything! s$10 can only get you 4 hours of singing at Ten dollar ktv in SG!

In Genting, the main highlight was of course the casinos! We did not know there was 2 casinos until day2. The only skill i figured out was to bet against a suay dealer, or a dealer who keeps opening small. Stop betting once they change a dealer and observe the pattern. Maths tells us that we have the fair chance of winning, but the casino makes money because it changes a dealer when it loses for a period of time.

Of course there's still the outdoor theme park, but it was raining for half a day and we only managed 2 rides. :(( The third ride was space shot which is the scariest of all but rain started pouring when we were queuing. Oh well, maybe should return to Genting for that ride next time...

Back blog: World Cup finals

Gino and Eve had returned to The Philippines...hope they had a good experience in Singapore and get to come back someday! The gathering was on the world cup finals, and i was super super late reaching Singapore from Desaru. They both had bought their laptop when i met them and since there's really nothing much to do on a thursday late night, we went to Sentosa for a walk and planned to watch the wc finals at chijmes. Unfortunately most chijmes outlets require a minimum spending and hence we are back in resorts world for the match...pictures below!!

Petr's huge tummy!!! trying to cover it with his bag...
jumpshot attempt 1: Petr looked like an ninja
My turn to looked like a ninja
Casino!! Im so dying to get in...
colleagues for 6 months!!

More photos on my facebook!! blogger takes years to upload images...still hope to stay in contact with these kbox colleagues. They were really the servers who put in effort in their work and helped me a lot in the short one month at kbox ms. Even though one month is real short, its an eye opener for me and made me realize how tough 6 days week is...

RSPID Session+Singapore vs Burnley!

Nothing to do online, so time to post something!! no pictures this time...went to session in the afternoon, first thing is to tell anthony off on prank calling people on the handphone. It seems to dampen his spirits for sing-along but well...at least his mood gets better during PRT. Session is getting back to its boring form again!!! I predicted correctly that only 3 freshie guys will appear, although andrew came and go hastily during the last hour. They really shouldn't play the dice throwing game...its super boring and i think dai siu is much more entertaining than that!! I was really going to doze off, haha. can understand why the trainees also dozing off. To top it off, they had fire drill briefing, -_-~~but i guess that cant be helped. The olympics games was something new and interesting, feedback i got was floorhockey is more fun. Maybe they should play a match on that or something. I always thought that session's PRT are too too mild. They seldom break out a sweat doing PRT, a floorhockey match would made them run and do some REAL exercise, although i predicted chaos would happen cos everyone would be going after that tape! haha!

Brought Anthony and Qiwen along to watch the Singapore Burnley match after session, joined by chupei. The match itself was disappointing...i expected more goals, which means i lost $$ to the government again. Chupei is considering to join westend! At least one more volunteer to look after anthony and i can slack more! lol! Anthony wasn't entertained by the match, unlike qiwen...maybe interactive trips like Escape is still more suitable for him, i think he can't stand lectures, lessons, movies these type of passive activities.

Oh ya, had a great first month anniversary! although my cough did spoil the celebrations a bit, i cant talk too much or else i would cough again. took DA TOU TIE and watched BLOOD PLEDGE. not a very scary show cos i only got shocked once. Deardear's swayness happens again! She was talking about xiuxia's RSPID movie outing and we saw the group at cine the moment she finished her sentence! So lucky that we got caught so many times by RSPIDians when we went out together...and Deardear prepared present for me! Can really see the effort she put it, every letter was cut from coloured paper.♥♥ shall reciprocate the surprise sometime soon in the future!!!

Happy Anniversary!!

This first post is supposed to mark the 1 month anniversary of our relationship.

Hiya, but with a bit of magic, im going to bring this "magical moment" half an hour in advance. haha. We have been living contrasting lives this month...she slack i work then i slack she work, leaving us with really not a lot of time being together. But i feel that we have spent quality time together, with Desaru the highlight of our maiden month.

Before 22june...i told myself i would go slowly for this relationship in order for it to last, but i found myself sinking deeper and deeper to it one month on...nowadays i really feel a bit empty without her around...maybe im just too free and thoughts start to wander. I've also found out that her feelings will directly affect myself. Deardear was a bit down ytd and it causes me to lose focus of the soccer match that i was watching, and moreover its a winning game!!! My mind was all about finding out whether she feels ok...so long never had this feeling liao, normally im super happy when im winning my bets.

Deardear going to finish her work soon!! haha, she's so looking forward to it! I think its the same feeling of relieve when i quit kbox. But theres close to 3 full weeks of foc waiting for her! Busy girl! oh well, as long as she enjoys it and at least she wont feel the stress of working in NUH. I will have to occupy myself then...with trainings for ippt, clearing of my room and meeting up with diff grps of friends that i never seen for a long time!! At least i would be looking forward to seeing her every weekend...wait, that sounds so deja vu :x haha

meeting deardear in 18hours time! my cough still havent subside :( looks like im going to eat noodle soup tml liao...
