CURRENT MUSIC: WHERED YOU GO by FORT MINOR feat. Holly Brook, John Matranga
I'm really satisfied with myself. I've been hitting the gym on a consistent basis and I can feel that the gym workout is really paying dividends. So friends, if you need to slim down or whatsoever, don't wait, head to the gym now and I'm sure it will help your cause.
I shall discuss about taxi drivers in this entry. What inspired me to write about taxi drivers you might ask? It all started from a real cool conservation with this particular cab driver, who happened to be really outspoken and we talked about his experiences as a cab driver while driving me down to a certain destination. Have you ever wondered how hard it is to be a taxi driver? I bet some of you think that driving a cab is really easy money, but a cab driver's income is seriously unstable and anything can happen anytime while you are working on your shift. Some points I'd like to share about a taxi driver are listed below:
1. TAXI DRIVERS GET PISSED OFF WHEN THE PASSENGER WHO CALLED FOR A CAB DOESN'T TURN UP.
This is something that cab drivers face everyday and they cannot do anything about it. Put yourself in the driver's shoes. Someone calls for a cab, you are driving around and the on-call destination hapens to be in the vicinity, you accept the job and drive down to take that passenger. But when you reach the destination, no one's there. So it is either the person played a prank on you or he/she has taken another cab without informing the hotline to cancel the order.
Aren't you gonna get pissed with such a situation? I certainly will and I will curse that person to hell. What audacity to call for a cab and in the end become so irresponsible of your actions! Who suffers? The cab driver. He could have picked up some other passengers while waiting for nobody.
2. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES WHEN THE PASSENGER CAN ESCAPE EASILY AND NOT PAY THE FARE.
Take for example during a traffic jam. You are driving a cab and stuck in the centre lane of the road. The traffic is so slow and the fare meter keeps on increasing. Your passenger gets fed up and decides to leave the cab without paying the fare. He/She opens the damn door and runs away. How? The fare is 15 bucks. Are you going to give chase and leave your cab unattended? Or are you goin to accept the fact that you are down on your luck? Think.
Another instance would be driving the passenger down to his/her desired destination. You ask for the fare but the person confesses that she/he does not have enough cash in hand. He/She gives you everything that he/she is left with in the wallet and tells you to take it or leave it. Are you still goin to demand for the exact fare? The person cannot pay, so are you going to drive him/her down to the police station and leave matters the the police? The person won't be dumb and allow you to do so rite, so he/she would have escaped long ago. So what do you do?
3. MISCELLANEOUS PROBLEMS ARISE RANDOMLY.
This point refers more to female passengers and how they can make use of...you know what..to distract or even threaten cab drivers. I'll give you an example. A sexy pretty hot(wadever) babe enters your taxi and she flirts with you. While you're concentrationg on driving (let's assume you really are, haha), she caresses the back of your neck and even your cheeks. In an attempt to stop her you brush her hand away from you. The woman accuses you of molestation. Ok you didn't but no one knows you are innocent. Thereafter, she blackmails you by demanding a free ride to her destination. Are you going to accept it or are you goin to blow the matter up and fight to the end, where in worst case scenario the law can come into action? If I were the driver, seriously I will just blame my luck and choose the former.
4. NOT KNOWING ROADS WELL CAUSES YOU A SCOLDING FROM MORE DEMANDING PASSENGERS.
So do you know where is Chiku Rd? Or Teck Guan Rd? Or wadever fucked up road name you can think of? Your passenger wants to get there and expects you to know the way. You dunno. And you gotta check the road directory. So some problem passengers will scold you so badly and hurl insults at you, claiming you are wasting their damn 'precious' time. In other cases, they accuse you of taking advantage of their lack of knowledge of roads to bring them in cricles before reaching the destination. Assuming you are an honest driver, you just gotta tolerate with their nonsense.
I'm sure there are many other interesting things that can happen to a cab driver while he is on shift. I hope that this insight on cab drivers will help you understand them better. The next time you call 65521111 (Damn it I'm not promoting Comfort), make sure you wait for the assigned cab and be responsible. Every occupation has its highs and lows, more often than not the latter more than the former. Haha.
Are you thinking twice about being a cab driver after you past your prime?

Chicken Rice@Downtown East
CURRENT MUSIC: QING ZHU by RAINIE YANG
It's crazy. On two occasions I went down to the newly opened Chicken Rice stall at Downtown East after my gym workout, looking forward to trying the $5 set meal as advertised on TV, but to my dismay I never got to try it. The fucking long queue totally put me off. Business is going crazy at that stall and I could not stand the wait and in the end I decided to settle for other foods instead. Trust me, it's crazy. Never am I going to wait 1/2 hour for my chicken rice. Haha.
I wonder if I will ever get to eat it.

Saturday Night@Marine Parade
CURRENT MUSIC: EVERLASTING by BoA
Before I start on this next entry, I would just like to thank my Mum for whatever she has done for me and the family. Although I always dislike the way she keeps nagging at us, I know deep in the heart that she actually cares. It's just maybe she doesn't know how to convey her message across tactfully, which probably upsets my sister frequently. She cares greatly for us, and for that, I am thankful. I just want to let her know that I really appreciate what she is doing for this family.
I still recall not long ago I was down with illness. Feeling so weak in bed, she was always asking if I was feeling better, and when my fever ran high, she helped prepare a cloth immersed in iced water and placed it on my forehead, in hope of running down the temperature. Sounds cliche, but I was really touched. And when I think back on times when I often talk to her rudely and sometimes even take her for granted, I feel a sense of remorse in myself. But I am trying to spend more time with her, and I am glad that I've managed to do that on a more regular basis in recent times, taking her for movies more often now, and staying home for dinner whenever I can.
So I really appreciate it. Thank you mother.
Ok now on to what I did last weekend. In the morning, I pulled myself out of bed to join XY for swimming at Hougang Swimming Complex. With determination I managed to swim 20 laps. It was quite tiring for me ok! Considering I went gym just the day b4..haha. And after that we headed to Hougang Mall to eat the worst Claypot Rice on Earth. People please do not even attempt to try the Claypot Rice there because its really bad and after trying it you might not want to taste Claypot Rice ever again. Then during the evening I met up with the bunch of Grace, Thomas, JG, XM and Jacq. We went to have a good dinner at East Coast Lagoon (The food centre at ECP). Thomas ordered like there was no tomorrow and in the end he had to finish it all by himself. There were 2 plates of fried oyster, satay beehoon, stingray, mussels, chicken wings, fried snails (YES DAMNIT I ATE SNAILS!!), satay and all these were complimented with sugar cane juice and coconut juice. Thomas can really eat his fill and all of us were really bloated after that feast. Tom and Jacq suggested KBox thereafter, 2 of them being most enthu abt it but at the room they were not even singing at all. Why does KBox close at 1 on Saturdays ah? Or issit only the one at Marine Parade? I always tot they would close kinda late. But in the end, becuase it was only me n JG hogging the mike, I guess 1+ hr was sufficient singing. Haha.
Oh I have just rented another HK Drama Series, this one I am watching now has a whopping 40 episodes! Its called 'Lethal Weapons Of Love And Passion'. Sounds cool eh the title? Haha..
On a final note, Liverpool won Everton 3-1 with 10 men for most of the match! Did you see the goals by P.Neville, Garcia and Kewell?? Did you see did you see huh huh huh? Stunning beauty man! Especially the own goal...what a strike! =)Everybody will remember the win, and they will definitely forget about the Gerrard sending off with haste. Haha.

General elections
CURRENT MUSIC: YI YAN WAN NIAN by S.H.E
WOLF CREEK wasn't as terrifying as expected and I was really disappointed considering I paid 9.50 for this crap show. Not exactly crap, but I definitely expected more from it. If I had known, I would have insisted to Thomas that we watch 'The Dorm'. I so want to watch it after failing to catch 'Shutter'. But it's okayz, coz I have already bought the VCD and I will be watching it really soon. Thai movies are generally nice, so I would think 'The Dorm' would be good. Just look at films like 'Ong Bak', 'Tom-Yum-Goong', you know Thai movies will never be that bad. WOLF CREEK, if you ever want to watch it, should be a weekday show. Don't waste your time on weekends when you can spend it on more meaningful activities. Heh.
WOLF CREEK deserves only 2/5.
I feel pretty contented with myself as I really trained hard at the gym yesterday. I ran 2 sets of 1.6km on the treadmill, in between doing weights, bench press, lads pull-down and other machines. I'm certainly hoping this will continue on a consistent basis, and I'm setting aside Mon, Wed, Fri for gym. Hopefully I can discipline myself to head down and workout on these days. I have always believed in keeping fit. :)
I feel so sad for Steven Gerrard because his mistake ultimately cost Liverpool their most recent match against Arsenal. I really tot we could get a point out of that game but to be fair, Henry's Arsenal were brilliant. It's ironic because Gerrard was working his socks off and created the equaliser...only for him to make that error and present Henry with that easy goal. But nobody should blame him. Considering his contributions it would be unfair to play him down just because of that mistake. The whole Liverpool team is in a mess right now. I wonder how Gerrard feels really. Hez doing all the dirty work in midfield, supplying wonderful balls for Crouch, Moro and Cisse but they are never taking their chances. He muz be hell frustrated and I'm just worried he might leave the team like Owen if the situation doesn't turn for the better. No Gerrard, no Liverpool. So true. Aren't Liverpool missing Owen right now?
Let's talk about something that has been hitting the news daily. General elections. I luvv the General Elections. Such a waste that for this year I still can't cast my vote. Haha but even if I could it would probabaly be a walkover. Nobody seems keen on opposing at my GRC!! Haha...but I read the news a few days back and learned that my constituency might be facing competition from SDA!! Yay!! At least PAP has something to worry about here... Dun get me wrong.. it's not that I support the opposition or anything, but it's good to have opposition because you can listen to what they have to say.. And usually opposition candidates will be campaigning big-time and I would really relish the chance to head down to one of those open fields in my area to go listen to their loud, crude and maybe sometimes senseless opinions and resolutions. Look at incumbent MPs like Chiam(SDA) and Low(WP), they provide a channel to voice disapproval in Parliament which is healthy at times. Imagine a whole body of Parliament which is made up by all the white men from PAP. PAP will say we should follow this. Who will disapprove? Probably no one because all are pro-PAP. Hence, we should really admire some opposition candidates who can offer healthy competition to the governing body. Having said this, we shouldn't vote for opposition for the sake of voting for opposition. What is the use when the opposition can't do better than PAP? Not saying that the PAP is doing a marvellous job or anything, but if they are the best Singapore politics can offer, then we should stick with them.
Of course, we have seen the worst of opposition. Remember our infamous Dr. Chee? The person who can't contest this term due to bankruptcy? Haha..hez really a joke. Just last Saturday, Thomas and I were at Kino shopping for books and we came across this book written by him. And when Thomas scanned thru it he laughed at what he wrote. He showed me a portion of it and we both agreed it was seriously crap. For someone who can insult SM Goh publicly, he has seriously tarnished the reputation of opposition candidates trying to contest the elections.
Enough said. But I'm defintely looking forward to the elections, like I always do every 5 years. Haha.

My fucking poem
Fuckers seem to be everywhere around me,
and I have to encounter at least one fucker everyday.
Sometimes you really wonder what their fucking problem is,
because they never really seem to understand how fucked up they can be.
Fuckers have a distinct fucked up look,
and sometimes you really fuckin feel like punching them.
Fuckers will always be fuckers,
and they will never change for the fuckin better.
Just one last word to add,
if you think my fuckin poem is good,
please give a fuckin applause.

Parkway Parade carpark is a joke, while KGardens is cheap karaoke
Had lunch with my father on Saturday afternoon which meant I finally got the chance to drive the car. My last try at his car was actually 1+ months back, believe it or not. He decided to dine at Parkway since there was Giant there so that I could get my cheap new TV set because the old one friggin died on me on Thursday. I was rather uneasy when he said Parkway because I knew how the carpark was like there. Pretty fucked up. So squezzy and with so many twist and turns, it was a beginner's enemy. To make things worst, my parking is atrocious so I'm utterly not confident of parkin at that dumbo place as I'm afraid I would end up scratching the car body again. I fear multi-storey carparks :( But I had to face it. When I got in, I struck kerb once, and when I got out, I struck the kerb again. Be thankful I din hit the pillar or knock onto any other car or whatever. I was really relieved when we exited that cursed carpark. My driving has got lots to improve on. My parking, especially.:(
Was delighted to get my new TV set. Oh yes the brand is AKIRA again. A 14-inch TV for the price of $119. How's that? Quite cheap right. Anyway, if anyone wants to get a TV set like mine, you can't really find it anywhere nowadays besides place like GIANT because the electronics market is fuckin competitive. I was shopping with papi and everywhere was like flat-screen TVs, big and small. Harvey Norman doesn't sell those classic small TV sets, and Best Denki only had one such TV available for sale after we combed the whole TV department. How pathetic. Oh wells, it just goes to show how advanced technology is becoming.
Met up with class people later that evening. People who usually wouldn't turn up turned up! Haha..was quite impressed. Wei Ling and Ching Lok came along and I haven't seen the latter in like I dunno how long. But glad to know shez doing well current in NUS architecture. Wei Ling has become the sporty sort ever since shez joined SMU and dragon boat. So tanned now that she calls herself chao-ta girl. Haha. How funny. The rest who came included Russ, HJ, Ken, Koay, Jan , Becks, KY, KH and Greg. Dined in@Heeren Marche and we were at the centre of attention because our table was just next to the entrance and everybody who walked passed us had to look down on our table to see what we ordered to eat. Singaporeans. Haha. I bet if I were one of those passer-bys I probably would have done the same. Whaha.
Thereafter we headed to KGardens@Serangoon Gardens for a usual doze of karaoke. Sang till about 1am like that. KGardens is another Teo Heng I guess, only that it is slightly more expensive, with better service and drinks and a better selection of songs, which would probably make your money worth. This time round though, I dunno why, as concluded by Russ and myself, the atmosphere was rather boring unfortunately. Why? I dunno. After that it was supper@ Chomp Chomp with HJ of course ordering food like there's no tommorow again, despite the fact that most of the shops were closed by then. Oh Yew Teng joined us too and I had a good chat with him, talking about our primary school days, like whether we remembered people in class. Haha names like Greg Wu, Elvis, Edmund, Zhao Ming, CJ, Rayner Kong and Christopher Tham started popping out. We bitched about our form teacher Mrs Lim too and talked about other stuffz haha. Poor Kenneth had to fetch all of us back home once more, and I must really thank him for the ride home. If I ever get the chance to repay the favour, rest assured I will, Ken. Right now, I just do not have the car at my disposal.
IN CASE U DIDN'T KNOW BY NOW,
ITS LIVERPOOL 1 MAN UTD 0 !
And it's Peter Crouch, walking tall. I saw the goal in the replay, and what the hell, the header was damn powerful can. Well done Liverpool, keep it up against Benfica!

So what did you do on Valentine's?
Q: Did you enjoy yourself yesterday?
A: Sort of.
Q: So what exactly did you do yesterday?
A: Went out with my cousin and a few friends for dinner and karaoke for a short while.
Q: How much did you spend in all yesterday?
A: Eh.. More Than 20, Less Than 100.
Q: Do you have a valentine?
A: Unfortunately not.
Q: Do you wish you had a valentine?
A: You bet.
Q: How would you have celebrated Valentine's Day with your valentine if you had one?
A: For a first time, probably have dinner with her in a very nice and classy place, followed by a walk along the beach or something, somewhere quiet. I would have avoided those crowded city areas. A bouquet of flowers is a must, of course.
I had fun yesterday although it wasn't with my valentine. Both gals were also happy I guess coz they received a stalk of rose each from me and Thomas. But it's becoming such a sad thing because Feb 14 is becoming too commercialised. Prices are ridiculous as they are being increased by more than double over this period and it's really heartaching when you have to fork out the money (especially the guys). =( But all these is in the name of business and somehow someway we got to accept the fact. Also met a few buddies when I went out yesterday =)Zhi Yuan, Huei Siang, Russel, Melvin and Yew Teng. Was glad Yew Teng still recognised me. Those were the days in primary school when we were classmates. Haha.

Good days are always followed by bad, and vice versa
CURRENT MUSIC: CARLITO'S THEME by WWE SUPERSTAR CARLITO
It's true. Good days are always followed by bad days, and then good days, and then bad days and this goes on and on. My most recent experience would date back to last Wednesday.
After work, I went down to town together with Shaun and met up with two of his friends. We had fast food for dinner and thereafter caught the movie 'Memoirs Of A Geisha'. I thought the movie wasn't fantastic, but it ain't that bad either. I'd give 3 stars for that. For 7 bucks, the show's worth the price and Jingyi agreed with me. Made two new friends in Jingyi and Ruby. Jingy is a very sociable girl, easy to talk to, whereas Ruby seems to be the quieter of the pair, but nevertheless shez still nice and sweet. Wednesday was a good day.
Then came Thursday. I woke up feeling extreme pain in the throat and I really could not bear myself goin to work in such pain. Hence, I decided to sleep on and report sick for the day. Stayed home to rest for the whole day. The diagnosis was flu and very bad sore throat. Doctor's medicine was great though, the lozenges provided made quick work of the irritating sore-throat. But the flu had other ideas and wouldn't go away. It was torturous Thursday indeed.
Friday was another bad day. Still sick, I forced myself to work. Tried my best to concentrate, but I finally surrendered to the sickening flu and reported sick at the medical centre. I do not understand why the doctors there are so reluctant to give MCs because I'm seriously sick and feeling so rotten, and yet the only words that came out from his mouth were, "Oh, not to worry, nothing serious, ok go wait for your medicine outside. I'll just give you a light duties slip." Like WTF rite. Went back to office and got permission to rest for a while and fortunately I felt better after the nap. Friday, however, was still a bad day, because my whole day was wasted sleeping my ass away.
The weekend was the transition period. Bad days are gone. Good days approach. In point form let me list down what went well that day:
- My flu condition wasn't as bad as compared to Thursday or Friday.
- I enjoyed the visit to my Aunt's place and got a few more hongbaos.
- I gambled and won quite a pile.
- I finally got to watch 'I Not Stupid 2', the show I'm most keen to see currently.
'I Not Stupid 2' was a great show, and as I told Gillian, I really love Jack Neo productions because his movies somehow bring out a Singaporean flavour in it. Perhaps his movies always have those hokkien lines which never fail to make me laugh. I don't know. This movie is definitely better than 'Memoirs Of A Geisha'. At least I think so. 4 stars I will rate for this movie. Of course, it really goes down to personal liking, I guess if I asked Shaun, he'd probably prefer Geisha. Hahz.

Frozen Desserts Island Creamery
CURRENT MUSIC: HUO YUAN JIA by JAY CHOU
Hell yeah Frozen Desserts Island Creamery tastes so good you'll find it hard to resist! Comes in the weirdest but delicious flavours like Teh Tarik, Banana, Horlicks and so many more. One small tub costs 8 bucks. Expensive eh, but its worth every cent of your money. Trust me.
This is my first time blogging ever since my trip to Penang and Phuket during the CNY period. I really enjoyed the trip alot, not only did I get to know people like Jacq and Thomas better, it was also a good opportunity for me to de-stress after facing so much 'pressure' at work. Wadever. It seems like I never get bored of Star Cruises. I've sat the same ship like 4 times I think, but I still enjoy it. The 24hr food hangout on Deck 7 still rocks like socks. The food is so good that I am willing to pay 10 bucks for a plate of Nasi Lemak. And yes, Kai An, if you are reading this, their Nasi Lemak is also great tasting, maybe you can try it if you ever get the chance to board the ship again..Haha..The only downside durin this trip was probably the fact that I lost money on board the ship's casino...=( Well, 100 bucks [heart pain]. But oh wells, I could hav won...if not for my greed. Lesson learnt. Phuket was great. Stuffz were cheap. I bought fake Birks for S$8, a pair of sunglasses S$6, a Levi's tee for S$20 (significantly cheaper than prices in Singapore) and a pair of surf shorts for S$10 which was damn nice but unfortunately I couldnt wear bcoz the cutting didn't fit me exactly well. Wasted sia. Nothin much to talk about for Penang. Only Tau Sar Piahs I guess! Terence loves them! Haha.
Watched Jet Li's 'Fearless' last Sunday with Mom and I'm impressed by Li's superb martial arts skills. If you are watching solely for the fighting scenes, you've got the right movie. If not, overall I would rate it average. 3 out of 5 stars. Watchable.
This guy that I unfortunately see almost everyday is slowly getting onto my nerves and I really can't stand him. Probably the most insensitive farkface I've ever came across. Blunt with words, coupled with shocking arrogance. Whether he meant it or not, I don't giv a damn. Hez really pissing me off.
Terence, no prizes for getting the right answer. =)
