i was supposed to blog last week but i was busy. and i don't know or what kept me busy. old man already. hahaha. all i can remember is sleeping 12hours a day, fetching gf from work and having dinner outside. my parents just came back from their holiday to Sabah & Brunei. was supposed to follow and parents wanted to pay for my expenses... but i declined because mum bought a new camera lens for the trip. i don't wanna go and make them have lesser money to spend on their holiday. instead, i stayed at home, clean and feed the cats. and i cooked a few meals for myself. succcessfully cooked a spaghetti bolognese & special fried rice. outstanding la! also, i have started to ride the bike again and it felt great but i am more cautious and practise defensive riding. gf still don't allow me to ride alone until i am fully recovered. i feel that my leg is better now i can walk without feeling any pain but if i step in a little akward position, if will hurt damn bad ah. lol. as of today, i have managed to sell 2 of my Ikea beds. im am still left with one more new and unused set. thinking of posting it in facebook and see if anybody wanna buy it or not. if not, maybe must try my luck and return it back to Ikea if they can still accept it since they have the 100days return policy (but mine is like more than 500days but still unpacked. lol!) today also mark the day that i have successfully completed my specialist diploma in supply chain management from Nanyang Polytechnic. after 9months of effort in travelling from tuas to yio chu kang twice aweek after work.. i have managed to pull it off. i feel that i did better this time round for my subjects because my GPA is so much better than i had previously did for my 3year diploma in ngee ann poly. hehehe. apart for these good news... there was a bad incident happen to me and gf. The Killers concert that amalina badly wanted to go was cancelled two days before they are due to perform!! received the sms alert from Sistic while we were visiting our friend at hospital. amalina was shocked and was instantly depressed about it. futhermore, her anger was ignited futher by a comment from an insensitive bitch in facebook. gf even wanted to go to perth just to catch The Killers concert in Feb 14... but i am sorry because due to the short notice, i cannot afford. sorry dear. hopefully they will come back anytime soon and make it up for us. okay la, i've to sleep now. got driving tomorrow morning. |

all this thoughts of friends getting into bike accident, losing a limb and badly injured, makes me really have a lot of thoughts going on especially with my gf riding it to work everyday. i know its very cheap and convinient to ride but we are compromising our safety and life once we ride. haiz... if i am going to get a car, it is going to drain my pocket but nonetheless, it is something that we have to pay for safety and comfort. hmm must save smart and get a car no matter what. anyway, had lunch with my bosses as well as a guest from India. over lunch, i talked to them over my pay rise as well as my prospect for my current company. i know 2009 was a pretty bad year but somehow things got so much better after June 2009. my pay rise and bonuses in 2009 were freezed and my boss knew that i am clearly unhappy about it. she understood my feelings and even supported and willing to let me go if i were to get a better opportunity outside. but somehow or rather, i felt that they are not doing so much to push for my welfare and for what they had promised me. come april, hopefully i will be getting a raise. anything below than $300, i will go. actually right now i am looking for other jobs but kinda skeptical about it because what i ask for could be too much. but heck, i will just try my luck. =) i can't wait for the weekend to go swim and do some other activities. |

breakfast......checked! oats milk.......checked! wake up at 5am to blog..... just crazy. actually i slept since yesterday evening at ard 5.30.. was too tired. thursday: visited a friend at NUH who got into a bike accident. also, met a male nurse who was my NS buddy. he told me that my friend's condition was very very bad. indeed, it was so bad that he had his right lower leg amputated and his right side psycho motor skills are affected. i felt shocked and did not dare to look at his right leg and kept imagining that his amputated leg is still there. that guy is my gf's good friend for almost 8years. haiz... wish him a speedy recovery and hope everything will be fine for him. friday: had my second practical driving. my driving was fine except for my turning. always crossed my hand while steering the car to the left or right. must have more practise......... went to gym after that and i think had a good work out. can't run so, i took on the bicycle exercise. i went out with my mum after gym. lunch with her at city hall, sent her laptop for service and gave my nikon d60 a new breather with a new 18-125mm lens. priced at $988 but was discounted till $595. good deal for a very good wide zoom lens. i love it and thanks to mum for buying it. she bought it because she wants to use it when she goes for a holiday in two weeks to time. =) went to watch alvin and the chipmunks after that. the chipmunks are damn cute this time round. hahaha. saturday: started my day early at 6am. cleaned up ikea sofa bed, and sold it off in an online auction at $80. bought it at $210++ almost two years ago. i still have two ikea sofa more beds to sell. need to money to finance for a new double decker bed. it will save space in my small room. gf fetched me around noon. we went off to sengkang to visit another friend of hers who got into a bike accident. didnt manage to visit him while he was in the hospital, so we went to his place straight. his condition was quite bad too, broke his left leg, lost a few muscle and a lot of scars. haiz, seeing friends in these condition from a bike accident makes and myself also recovering from it too, the more i want my gf to sell away our bike and get a car instead. haiz.. just waiting for the right time when we are financially stable. next up, we fetch our friend's girlfriend from her work place to NUH. we visited our friend again this time round. his family members are very sociable and funny. and he himself, he look better and healthier. he could make jokes and talk around. he seems happier. =) will definitely visit him again once we have the time and a car. after visiting him, we went off to jurong east for dinner and chevrons for bowling!! both of us are like addicted to bowling because it makes us competetive with each other and its a good sports! had lots of laugh and fun during the game. its really a nice place to be at chevrons. love the ambience. after which, we went to ecp to see the stars and headed home for the night. sunday: we went out again in the morning, had mcdonalds breakfast at marina barrage! watch abit of sunrise =) then went for swimming at delta swimming complex. its been almost 2 years since i last swam. amlina's stamina also dropped and had to encourage her to swim a few more laps before we retire for the morning. we should swim more often weekly. remember, its a good start of the year for us. must exercise more! =) after swimming, we had a thoughts of going JB to top up the fuel. but nah, was too tired. headed to serangoon to have an early lunch at komala's villa. gf recommended paper masal dosai. damn good ah. so cheap and filling sia.... after lunch, gf had her eyebrow thread. it looks neat and prettier dear. =) we were so tired, went off to jurong west and slept in the car at a multi storey car park for a few hours. hahaha. woke up, had an early dinner for me at teh tarik jurong west. then, gf had the intention to fetch his friend's younger brother and his gf from her work. then we send both to NUH. wanted to visit him but its a sunday and believe there will be others to visit him too. so yeah, next time will do. hehe. next, she sent me back home and i slept all the way till now. hahahaha. p/s: i am proud of my gf doing good deeds for her good old friend. =) |

it feels nice to be away from work... but only today that i start to worry about my current job. it worries me when i know the fact I have not gotten a pay rise since September 2007. i am contemplated to find another job right now but it doesnt feel right. firstly, I am expecting bonuses in April as well as pay rise. Another reason, its just another five months to mark my two years working experience. so, should i wait or should i move on? hmm never mind. i will see this again in a near future. will re-evaluate my choice once i am back to work in early february. well, today mark my first day of practical for class 3. started my day early and reach my destination early. i was supposed to go for a private instructor recommended by a friend. but somehow, that instructor fly kite. he didnt get back to me when i tried to follow up with him twice. so what the heck, i went for another instructor. and i am glad i found him. nice botak uncle. maybe he's nice in the first day... will see how it goes on. its a great feeling to be on the road again! i did not encounter any pain but just a slight discomfort on my left leg which is still healing from the fracture. so after today, i guess that learning to drive manual car today is not a bad idea since i have a whole month to practise. furthermore, clutching with my left leg is not much of a problem with the fracture bone. so okay la, just shoot only lor. the botak uncle said im quite a fast learner and not bad for a first day. =) next session will be on friday! can't wait sia. hahahaha. anyway, parents are planning for a short trip to sabah to visit a relative in two weeks time. probably i am going with them this time round. they have been asking to go along with their previous trips but i politely rejected them due to work commitment. so this time round, no excuses and i wanna make them happy that we can travel as a family again but without my two younger brothers, both away on national obligation. so tomorrow's activity: 1) wake up at 1pm and go to jurong west gym. 2) meet gf 6pm at tampines and head down to NUH to visit a friend. 3) supper (if anybody is reading this now, let me know if you want to join) good night! |

my first entry for 2010. i shall remember 2009 as the year i had or did: 1) admitted to hospital twice. 2) got my 2B license together with GF 3) got a bike and skidded two months later. 4) my first ever surgery and had metal piece + 7 screws in my left leg (for life). 5) worked a lot under tremendous stress 6) took my specialist diploma and completed it. other than that, same old shit and managed to stay alive. hahaha. but i did enjoy my year together with my friend, family and girlfriend. so on eve of 2010, GF fetched me and we went to watch fireworks. this year countdown was great. they closed the esplanade drive/bridge. it was a good move to close it! ppl can walk across and watch the fireworks. the fireworks was beautiful this year. took lots of pictures with gf. really enjoyed my time there... anyway, i really feel that the authorities did well in managing the crowd this year but not for vehicles. the crowd movement was smooth but cars/bikes were all stucked in the traffic. it was quite a massive jam. we couldnt even get out from out from the carpark where gf parked her car. we only moved out after 1.30am. spent the rest of the weekend with gf going around singapore as well as going to JB for shopping and eat. talking about eating, had a meat buffet at a friend dad's restaurant on wednesday. meat was free flowing for the buffet. the cook will go around the table holding the meat and serving to the customers. my favourite was the chicken... well spiced and had a nice flavour... i really ate alot of red meat too. felt damn heavy the next day.. and i think by this week, i'd have gained at least 2 kg. so here goes my 2010 list of things to do. 1) must go for more GYM session... do upper body cardio exercise 2) get a new job before june 3) get 2A license 4) be well disciplined in managing my priorities ok nothing much to say already. im actually blogging inside gf car right now at some multi storey carpark enjoying the clear skies. good night everybody. |
