Advanced Weather Forecast System?

I bet this is more reliable than our million-dollar Weather forecast system.

Start hanging up a stone everyone!

My HatchDay... 26 yrs later...

Hmm.. finally got the time to sit down & write the long-delayed entry..

It's been a whirlwind week of activities, surprises & work. Shall keep this short as there are tons of pics which will take eons to upload.. so, bear with the loading part.

Ok, the eve of my birthday started on the wrong foot.. why? Coz I still need to work!!! Grrrrrrrr..... >E

Anyway.. was dragging my lazy ass to office.. did some work, clear some mails.. & flew off when the clock touches ONE.

Went home to catch some power nap... met up with the party around 9 @ Villa Bali (Yes, its our new fav hangout!)

Damn weird.. tried calling up to book my fav table but was told they can't book or reserve (wtf!).. so anyway, had a quick bite of my McChicken while driving there.

As usual, the programme of the nite was....... Boardgames! (Yes again, our new fav past time!)

Anyway.. shall let the pictures say the rest..

Yeah! (trying to look fierce.... ok stop laughing!)

Jason

Tricia & Ailing

Its 1 for 1 for house wine.. so Mai Tu Liao (Hokkien for don't wait already!!)

But too bad for me.. can only order Mocktail.. Seabreeze.. damn misleading.. I was expecting a blue coloured drink but guess what.....

Its ORANGE! Honestly, I don't see anything that even remotely reminds me of the sea.

Yes.. Monopoly time!!

Crix helping himself to the free snacks...

My 1st cake... from my dear Bon..

The 'Ah Pei' (old man) me...

Me & Bon

My 2nd cake.. from Tricia & Ailing

I'm so lucky! I got 2 cakes when the clock strikes 12!! Thanks everyone!
Both from Breadtalk.. Milo/Peach & Choc cake

Me & the guys...

Me & the girls.. man, i feel so blessed! Look at all the babes! Muahahaa...

the peaceful part of the nite ends here...

Oh no, the unfinished cakes... = the start of my 'Sabo-ing' (Torture)

Courtesy of Mr Steven.... 1 candle was inserted deeply in.. I was made to finish up the entire cake using only my mouth.. & the lick the candle spotlessly clean thereafter... burrpp....

Here goes... hiazz..

Almost there!! YEAHHHH... I'm done. The end of my 'Sabo'....

Or so i thought.....

......

My 2nd 'sabo' (Courtesy of Mr Steven too) to submerge my face into the cake.. bite a huge chunk in a as-gross-as-possible fashion & show my nice 'facial'to everyone.

The thing itself is not so bad.. but having a peach cake up my nostrils... OH, GROSSS!!!!!!!
I could sneeze cake for next 24 hrs!! Urrgghhh...

People... an advice, must finish your birthday cake at all cost.. if not, you'll end up like me..lolz

But anyway, it was fun.. so, dun worry guys. no hard feelings at all!!
Now waiting for Mr Steven's birthday.. muaahaha...(evil grin)

Steven... having his drink of victory.

More pics are coming.. crix crix... wher r u????

Warming up...

My birthday entry... guess many are waitin for it. well... its gonna be loooooog with loads & I mean LOADS of pics.. so gimme some time ya?!

I'm still in my post-celebration mood.. muahahahaa...

Expect to see some disgusting & grossly-wrong pics.

My caucasian friends.. beware.

They thought it was chinese beer mugs....

or so they thought...

Didn't they find the beer tasted abit funny?? Hmm...

To my ang-mo (caucasians) friends, those are NOT chinese beer mugs.. but 'toilets' call 'tum pui'!

If you ask me.. think those birdbrains who trick them are just plain Idiots! I mean... what if you go to their country & they do the same to you.. how would ya feel!

Don't understand why some people are so plain dumb that in order to entertain themselves, they'll do it at others' expense... just for some cheap thrill?!!

Get a life, people! (Esp those china people...!)

I know some debates will be brewing when I say that.. but hey, I KNOW not all China folks are like that (I do have some good Chinese pals).. & you can find these kinda people in every country.

BUT...

You can't deny the fact that Chinese nationals are well known for their arrogance & 'snobbisness'. Yes, your country is finally coming out of the Dark Ages, your economy is soaring.. wealth accumulating, blah blah blah.. but on the rise is not only that.. but China's arrogance as well.

I don't give a shit if you're a rising superpower.. so what?!

Doesn't matter if you have one of the world's largest army, or that your population consists of almost half the human race on Earth.. nothing a few of those nice gifts from US to Hiroshima won't settle.

In short..

A great leader does not instills fear..
A great leader commands respect... through humility.

The instructors were friendly & most importantly.. they're hilarious!

Though we only learn a few moves last nite.. but it was loads of fun!

Luv it!!

Eagerly waitin for my next class.. hehe

Thunderstorm

Weather hasn't been too good around the office lately.. Hope the sun comes out soon! now, where is the hole i juz dug... ... ...

The day after the day after new year day.

After 2 late nights of partying & chilling out with Mr Moon.. guess its time we hang out with Mr Sun. So.. east coast.. here we come...

Its gonna a healthy day of cycling & blading for all of us.

Or so Crix & me thought... we almost fainted from the smell of the rented blades.. swear I
thought some rats must have decompose inside.. its STINKS!

I would rather stuff my nostrils with my socks & I swear it smells much better..
Anyway, after holding my breadth while putting on my blades.. I'm off.

Man.. its been more than 5 years since I last bladed... hope i don't end up in the drain like the last time.. hahaha

The practise arena.. basically.. a place for you to fall down without being gawked at..

Yup... we went all the way to the jetty..

The day after new year day...

Villa Bali.. ever been there?

Set in a Balinese deco.. its a nice rustic place off Lock Road.
Surrounded by lush vegetation.. each table setting is comfortably enclosed with enthic Balinese artifacts.

Went with the ususal gang.. Crix, Esther, Jason, Angie, Tricia & me.. met up for coffee there after dinner.. followed by BOARDGAMES..!!

Hahhaa.. it was great I tell ya! We bought along Monopoly & Hotels.. Had loads of fun.. even after the place closes at 2am.. we were still playing... in the dark (luckily our handphones have flash lights)!! hahaa..

A pic speaks a thousand words.. so, here ya go..
