M1 showcase of Sony Ericsson...

A typical boring day at school during Avionics lecture...

Me doing avionics presentation... had hell of a presentation... everything i had was circuit diagrams to explain wtf...

Woooo many things have happened since I am back from Hong Kong... Well i shall talk about things that i can remember... Hmm first thing was mugging for 2 common tests: mechanics and aircraft systems... and also to complete all my online holiday work which I have not been doing during the trip... asked ben ho out to study at bukit batok macs and also derrick and eugene to study at ang mo kio library, where we ended up going to lan shop to play Left4Dead instead after 1 or 2 hours of mugging... zzz distraction... Common tests turned out fine... but mechanics a bit tricky and tough, dun think can score too well... aircraft systems is cool... played harcore L4D after tests were over... completed avionics presentation and played L4D... oh my god i actually left my camcorder in the lecture theatre... worth like $800... lucky arthur was in school to chiong and get for me before it gets stolen...

After common tests was a 3-day break... went swimming with jeremy and eugene at jurong east swimming complex... played the slides and wave pool and lazy river like kids... imagine 3 guys sharing a float, one lying on top of each other and 3 guys sitting on a float together... zzz so gay lol... yea we did it... lost my locker key cos the velcro in my shorts came loose and the key came out, had to pay $8 to replace it... and then realised i never bring an extra pair of shorts, so had to dry that same shorts to wear home... freaking suay day... yea also caught Transformers with cheryl during the break... very cool movie, but the starting part was so boring i actually fell asleep... lol... transformers is like power rangers, morphing here and there zzz...

Also started work at Sony Ericsson... was posted to West Mall M1 shop last weekend... they gave me 2 phones to play with for me to familiarise with the Sony Ericsson interface and features as if i dunno... gave me a C510 and a C902... fucking cool phones... C902 has touch screen camera lol and face detection and auto rotation and all those crap which my W890i doesnt have... so now i got 3 phones which i change every few days: W890i, C510, C902... lol... cool huh... well my job is a sony ericsson promoter based in different M1 shops... regarding the pay, well i wont disclose here how much... ask me if u want to know... no commission though, but still need to get high sales for the sake of reputation lol, and also for some top sales award thingy in the company... made friends with the nokia, samsung, LG and HTC promoters lol... we are from rival companies, but we dont behave like rivals... its like these 5 companies have merged to become friends hahaha... had supper after work together on sunday, 5 rivals together so cartoon... and yea its a weekend job... Now gotta send in my sales report to boss...

School officially started on monday... gymmed alone in the morning cos the rest had meeting... yea then chiong to lectures... today is tuesday and its another sucky day... i freaking overslept... and of all times... the new CSW lecturer had to have a surprise test or some sort... oh my god i was so late la... reached class test already started... she should like tell us there is a test and tell us to come at 8 sharp la... what the hell... lucky can finish writing the dumb letter on time... boring day at school... first time roger chua yell at us during lecture for talking loudly haha... i also shocked... stupid eugene go and anyhow spread that i **** *** ***** ****... now everybody know... haha during aircraft systems today damn funny... eugene and i watching zhuo wei flirt with ******** on msn hahaha... teasing all the way... lots of scandals around nowadays... yea thats all i wanna say for now... nights...

Wonderful legroom as compared to the A340-300 i took into HK...

The uber long wing...

Hong Kong-Singapore...

Descending on the PASPU1B arrival, runway 20R into Singapore...

Had breakfast at home in the morning... some char siew bau crap... then around noon we went out, yes for dim sum AGAIN! Took the MTR to Mong Kok, walked to the post office where I mailed the photos i developed back to the village... wrote the address, sealed it up... my grandaunt spilled glue all over the envelope, and she still say never mind... zzz wth... bought the stamp and mailed... walked to Grand Century Place, where the hotel i lived in was located... and we had dim sum at Maxim Palace... waited for my HK aunt to arrive from work, she took half day leave to see us off and buy us lunch... yea didnt order much once again, cos the old folks dun eat much... seems like we eat much more in china than hong kong... after that i told my aunt of my craving for nice curry fish balls before i leave... then she brought me to a shop where they sell awesome curry fish balls, more spicy than anywhere in HK, so nice man... the curry here is sweeter than that in singapore, though it sounds disgusting like sweet japanese curry, but its somehow unique... then after that we went for dessert at yee shun dessert shop... its quite famous here by the way their steamed milk... i had steamed milk, some of them had steamed egg... its awesome la, HK delicacy... not easy to make ok... the milk must stir dunno how many thousand times to make sure its damn dilute, then steam for certain number of minutes... cannot too long and cannot too short... to give that half liquid half solid kind of texture... yea its nice... after that we cabbed home for some rest... cab here is damn expensive lor... its like S$18 for the journey equivalent from my house in bukit batok to my school in dover... yea that kind of distance costs S$18 in HK... sucks...

Did my last minute packing and last minute chatting on MSN... then off we went to the airport... HKD230 or S$46 for the trip lol... its equivalent to my home to changi airport, which only costs S$19... and here S$46... cut throat sia... yup dumped our baggage at the check in counter cos already did online check in... collected our boarding passes... and took some farewell photos at the departure hall... then suddenly had craving for wanton noodles before leaving hong kong... so went down to the arrival hall's cafe de coral and had a nice bowl of wanton noodles... its almost time to walk to the gate with the massive amount of pastries we were carrying in our hands lol, those cant check in... its called "wife's biscuits"... this time i am travelling back with my grandparents, so only 2 old folks, unlike 3 when i came here... they cant travel alone cos they are blur when it comes to travelling... cant read signs and stuff... so i gotta act like a tour guide for them... went through immigration after bidding farewell to my grandaunt and aunt... wah i swear HK immigration wasnt as troublesome few years back... its like so troublesome now... my laptop must take out from the soft case, like the x-ray cant see through the soft case??? now still need to scan boarding pass before entering the restricted area before the immigration... so troublesome... finally we passed through immigration... with all our carry-ons checked...

Boarding was at gate 65, which is like at the far north end of the airport... cant they give me like gate 1-4 or gate 16-19 zzz... those are like so near... i always get the far end gates when i come to HK... we had to take the underground train from the immigration area to the gate 60+ area... ride took about 2mins... thats how far it is lol... yup flight was delayed about 15mins... so boarding was quite late... expected boarding to have started when we arrived but it havent... the flight was fucking full... 300 people or more... the aircraft back would be a Boeing 777-300 registered B-HNE... no seats were empty, maybe 1 or 2... thats cos they cancelled CX691 which was an earlier flight and moved all passengers to CX715, this flight... Flight supposed to depart at 8pm, but boarding only started at like 7.55pm... yup departed a bit late... took off runway 07R, on the SANDI2A departure procedure, followed by the V6 transition to EPDOS and the L642 airway south over the south china sea... yea i know all these cos i sort of "mug" such things...

This time the cabin and sky was dark cos its a nice flight... made the ambience right for watching movies... and so i tuned the inflight entertainment to watch The International... some detective and action movie la... premiere on Cathay Pacific... i have to say the screen resolution on their 777 aircraft is much better than that on their Airbus regional fleet... watching the movie was so clear... soon dinner was served... had some steamed chicken with rice and god knows what gravy... cathay pacific food sucks all the time, this time i didnt have high expectations of them... so didnt get myself too disappointed... fruits as dessert again, not haagen dazs... yea finished the food and continued with my movie... movie was around 2h30min... finished, listen to some music and the captain soon make an announcement to announce that we are about to descend... we descended through the PASPU1B arrival from VEPLI and landed runway 20R... touchdown was a bit rough, captain must have flared too much... docked at gate D34 at changi... alighted and went to the duty free shop to buy a bottle of perfume for myself... and then came the tedious part: buying alcohol cos many people asked me to buy for them... my auntie already helped me buy 2 bottles of vodka when she came back 5 days before... cos i not enough passports to buy... 1 passport can only carry 1 litre of hard liquor, 1 litre of wine and 1 litre/3cans of beer... now i got 3 passports only... so now i just have to buy 2 bottles of bailey's irish cream, one for me and one for andrew... and one absolute vodka mandarin for my auntie and 6 cans of carlsberg beer... gonna try the bailey's irish cream since andrew say its nice... 17% alcohol... used to drink bailey's honey beer and it was not bad, good impression of bailey's... yea passing through immigration was a breeze cos we used automated clearance... collected our baggage and out we went to the arrival hall where my dad was there to fetch us and our tons of stuff home... really lots of stuff we brought back haha... wonderful trip overall!

This brings and end to the trip report for my HK/China trip 2009... Thank you guys for reading and bearing with the long posts... hope you have enjoyed my trip report! Take care!

Day 13

Welcome to Victoria Harbour!

View of Central from the Avenue of Stars at Tsim Sha Tsui... yea this is the day view... i have the night view pics from one of my older posts...

Familiar scene? Its always in the HK movies and dramas...

Had dim sum at some posh restaurant in Yau Ma Tei late morning... not a wide spread this time cos the 4 old folks i went with dont eat much, so didnt order much... grandparents and 2 grandaunts... yea they dun eat much... so just had the usual dim sum... i heard from the HK people that the standard stuff to order FIRST in any dim sum meal is siew mai, har gow, char siew bau, chicken claws and steamed pork ribs... yea these usually should be ordered first... yup had some porridge and all those stuff... wonderful... when hong kong people say lets go yum cha, and its understood its dim sum... its usually late morning... i think they should just call it brunch haha... after eating i left the old folks to do their own stuff while Leong Zai... yea i love my new name! Yea and so leong zai went on his own one day tour of Kowloon City... and part of Hong Kong Island... Hong Kong's made up of 4 parts: Kowloon, Hong Kong, Lantau and the New Territories by the way...

First stop: Tsim Sha Tsui... I had my adidas shopping spree... haha... went into the adidas shop... bought a pair of training shorts and a adidas jacket/pullover... paid and left... both black... bought another adidas t-shirt a week ago at Adidas@Citygate outlets before the trip into china... yea left the shop, went under the underpass... walked at Sogo for a while... hmm wonder where singapore's Sogo has gone to now... found nothing interesting in Sogo, so i thought i should go to the Avenue of Stars again, 2nd time this trip, yea i mentioned there are handprints of all the famous HK stars on the floortiles along the path... those visiting HK should go take a look... This time I managed to get a day time view of Central on Hong Kong island opposite... i was on the Kowloon side... the water channel in between is Victoria Harbour... took those few shots shown above... was wearing my skinnies the 1st time that day, invited stares... i think HK people dun wear skinnies, cos i almost never see anyone wearing... like 1 or 2 only the whole trip... maybe they not used to it...

Second stop: Jordan... took a train to Jordan... looked around at Yue Hwa and Wing On departmental stores... these are like the CK Tangs and OG in singapore... big and lots of stuff... was hunting for long sleeve t-shirts cos i felt the need to get some cos i dun have... well i have, but i sort of decommissioned them... want new ones... didnt find any... cos its like "summer" here, weather so hot, and these shops follow the trend and thought no one would need long sleeve shirts at this time, so all sell short sleeve =.=... yup i gave up...

Third stop: Causeway Bay... Went on a train ride to Causeway Bay... and poof! now i am on hong kong island, train went through the tunnel under the sea from kowloon... cool hor lol... went around Sogo... causeway bay's sogo is so much bigger... and much more levels... all the branded stuff u can imagine are all here... went to check out the adidas section... bought a black adidas polo tee... yea all adidas stuff i bought during the spree are all black haha... ok that ends my spree... gave up on the long sleeve shirt hunt, bought one in china anyway... so no urgency... just wanted more thats all...

Took a train back to Lam Tin... decided to check out the shopping centre opposite my "home"... walked around, found nothing interesting then went home... immediately showered and off we all went for dinner... its my last night in HK, and this was to be our farewell dinner... took the MTR one stop to Kwun Tong... dined at HiPot@APM Millenium City shopping mall... real modern, like vivo city... the concept of the steamboat at HiPot is very interesting... you pay HKD10 for unlimited dessert and drinks... dessert like black sesame, drinks like sour plum and pear juice... yup and other than that, ur food u have to pay per plate... beef is cheap like HKD8, which is S$1.60 for 6 slices... thats cheap... then u dump into this pot to cook, where half is chicken soup, and the other half is "ma-la" soup... super spicy sia... well i know this is not interesting yet... but have u seen fish balls where the inside is cheese? have you seen vermicelli rolled up and tied into a ball shape? have u seen a long tube of fish paste where you squeeze a bit into the pot and cook to make it into one long long piece of fish meat that u eat like noodles? And many more creative concepts they incorporate into their food that i found interesting, but cant remember... finished eating... was so full after spamming beef like siao... cos the rest cant finish the beef... took the MTR back home, was so tired that i went to bed after watching TV for a while and did my online check in for my flight back to Singapore, was in time to choose some really nice seats...

What a wonderful view of the hills from the airport's Skydeck!

Today would be the first day of my life that I went hardcore aircraft spotting under the hot sun! Came back sunburnt haha... woke up early morning, washed up, ate a bit and headed to the bus stop opposite outside Lam Tin MTR station to catch bus E22 to Cathay City... its where Cathay Pacific houses its flight operations HQ... getting better at getting around Hong Kong... haha... now exploring the bus system... met up with dennis and another spotter... they have a DSLR camera while I am only using my noob camera lol... felt so inferior but never mind... And so I took out my airband scanner which I bought in Apliu Street earlier... and tuned Hong Kong South Tower frequency 118.400... listened out for aircraft taking off... then took photos under the bridge opposite the Cathay Pacific Catering Centre... And so we went up and down the bridge to take photos under the hot sun... then suddenly winds direction change, and the departure runway switched from runway 07R to runway 25L... so we stopped spotting and caught a bus to HAECO, which is where the aircraft maintenance hangars are located... There we would be able to catch the departing aircraft...

Stood at the beach and continued spotting till it was time for lunch... then we took a bus out to Tung Chung MTR station and lunched at Cafe De Coral in one of the shopping centres... they had this promotion where betwee 2pm to 5pm a bowl of roast duck kway teow plus a cup of ice milk tea costs only HKD22... thats only like S$4.40... considered very cheap in HK already... finished our lunch then took a bus back, now into the airport complex... We went up the Skydeck... thats where i would say singapore changi airport loses out to Hong Kong... singapore doesnt cater to aviation enthusiasts who like to go to the rooftop of the airport to look at planes and take photos... whereas HK does, with their Skydeck above Terminal 2... its 8 storeys high... and its the rooftop of HKIA where we can see ALL ground movement and ALL departing and arriving traffic closeup... and take photos of them... cool right... And so we hang around at Skydeck till SQ861 departed... heard rumours of an Air France special livery coming in, but well the rumours turned out to be wrong... so we left... and went down to the exhibition downstairs... its like an aviation museum, tells about how aviation in hong kong has developed, from Cathay Pacific and from the old airport to the opening of the new airport now... and lots of stuff and interactive games... got PS3 also, didnt play cos i was rushing home to take my grandma out for dinner...

Took bus E22 back home from the bus terminal downstairs... bid farewell to dennis, wont be meeting him till i go Hong Kong again, which would be quite soon I think... haha... yup went home for a shower and took my grandma out for dinner at kwun tong, one of the cafe there... wanted to go to the baleno there to exchange my skinnies for a smaller pair cos it turned out that the waist area is tooooo loose... 29 inches is too loose for me... i only wear 28 or 27 usually... yea i'm thin what to do... turned out that the baleno at kwun tong is having a closing down sale, so they dun sell skinnies... and so we took the MTR to Mong Kok and went to the baleno where i bought the skinnies and exchange for a "tighter" pair... now it fits my waist and i'm happy... shopped around at ladies' market where my grandma bought a mickey mouse handbag... see? i told u she has fashion sense... which old lady carries mickey mouse handbag man... it seriously looks very trendy... sort of suits her young appearance lol... helped her bargain cos she doesnt know how to, or rather she's too nice to bargain... got a reasonable price, and yea bought it... and then took the MTR home... watched more HK drama, surfed the net, checked my mail and went to bed... yes this post is long i know, thanks to the tons of photos...

2009-06-24T15:45:00.003+08:00

Day 11

My bed in China, with the mosquito net...

The toilet...

The computer desk...

The living room...

The entrance...

The alley...

My uncle whom i live with and his motorbike... look at the mirrors lol... so retro...

Streets of the village...

On the ferry... See the snack shop? Shun Jing is the name of the vessel...

Its farewell day... woke up early for a rather posh dim sum restaurant at pek guai yuen country club (pronounced in cantonese)... its a country club, but service sucks... took so long to serve food... yup relatives were invited... this time only 1 table... took my uncle's motorbike there... forgot to mention that i have travelled places in the motorbikes of my aunt and uncle lol... its a real unique experience... have been on the motorbike a number of times there... though travelling on it can be very "dusty"... but well, just close your eyes, and feel the wind blowing against ur face... very shiok...

Yup then we went on the hired car and headed to Shunde harbour... the uncle whom i live with and his naughty son came along to see us off... reached the harbour early, so just sat around waiting for immigration to open and boarding for the 11am ferry out to Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient... out of the rural district of Shunde, to the urban city of Hong Kong... what a change! It was a 2 hour ferry ride... docked at Harbour City in Hong Kong at about 1pm... my hong kong grandaunt came to fetch us back to her condo in lam tin... where i would stay for the next 2 nights... went out alone to the shopping centre opposite to buy some curry fish balls to eat, and to develop some photos from my camera to send back to the village... mailing from HK is cheaper... then met up with the old folks to buy some pastries to bring back to singapore as gifts... went back to my new home with them... had a short nap... then went out with my grandma to Mong Kok... i know HK very well, more than my grandparents who used to come here every year lol... not that i am bragging, but perhaps i am more observant... come a few times then know how to get around liao... had dinner at a cafe... fishball noodles for me, wanton noodles for her... here the fishballs are so solid cos they stuff more fish meat... singapore ones so soft, simply becos they put more flour... wanton here sooo big, singapore ones i dun even call them wanton... in singapore, they dump a few small wantons into a small soup bowl, and give u a plate of noodles with char siew, and call that wanton noodles... eeyer...

Walked around Ladies' Market... bought 2 imitation watches for my aunt in singapore... well i have to say shopping with my grandma isnt weird... her fashion sense is as good as anyone of us... singapore old folks generally wear those old fashion pants and those button shirts when they go out... but my grandma doesnt... she's hip... always go out with a striped polo tee from bossini those kind of shops and a pair of jeans lol... and yet doesnt look weird, so normal... lol... thats why i buy clothes can ask her whether nice or not, cos she still has some fashion sense... hip right? the only way to appear young is to act young haha... This was the night where i was to buy my first pair of skinny jeans... got it at baleno, they had some offer there... lol i look weird in skinnies, but well, i think can get used to it... so tight at the crotch lol... grandma bought another striped polo tee at bossini haha... and yea headed back home by MTR... here the MTR so convenient, its like every part of hong kong is covered... not like singapore, take forever to finish the circle line to cover bukit timah... what the hell... yea watched some HK dramas, they broadcast in canto here, not chinese... and yea set up my internet connection and my laptop... surfed the net a while and went to bed...

Cabs in china... with the metal railings... Left hand drive!

The tze-char kopitiam where we had dinner...

Woke up early morning for breakfast in the village... then went on an hour car ride to Chuanlord Farm & Theme Park in Daliang... Its a super big place with a theme park, animal shows and a farm area where we can get up close to the animals... Bought our tickets and went in... each ticket consists of about 30 coupons... these coupons you can use to "pay" for ur theme park rides... yup, when u use finish, u gotta pay cash if you still wanna play...

Started with an animal show... yea the tiger and lion animal show lol... these tigers are amazing la, if i were the tiger, i would just eat the "zoo keepers" up... *chomp chomp*... yea the lions and tigers so obedient... roll on rollers and stand on platforms and stuff... after the show we went on many rides in the theme park... roller coaster, bumper car, ferris wheel... and also this bicycle thing which floats on water, gotta keep pedaling to move... its super tiring, and its the first thing we did =.=... there is also this very big air balloon which floats on water, people can go in and its like floating on water... just keep running and it will roll... lol but we never go on it, cos my grandma and the small boy was scared haha... yup then we went into the little farm area... got sheep, cow, horse, elephant and many other animals... like a little zoo... can touch them if u dare... continued on our theme park rides... we went into this mirror maze... its a maze but the walls are mirrors... so its damn confusing... go in by the entrance and u gotta find ur way out... almost banged into a mirror... lol... yup went for lunch at one of the restaurants by the pond... had some fine chinese cuisine... after lunch we walked around the chalets in the farm... yes u can book a chalet and stay there if u want... played on this little playground on water... fall down = gg... then we went to watch a pig show... where piglets run up a ramp onto a platform and jump down into a pool of water one by one... SOOOO CUTE LAH! lol... its like they scared to jump, but still have to jump, or else get caned... animal abuse sia, saw the "zoo keeper" caning them before the show... bastards...

Then there was supposed to be another pig show... big pigs jumping into the pond... but have to wait 30mins... so we went to watch some song and dance performance... and then SHIT happens... started raining so heavily... that we are stuck there in the shelter listening to shit songs and watching shit performances... cant see pigs already... after the performance we walked out in the rain with umbrella looking for any rides that might be opened... but well, found out that the thunderstorm has shut down the electrical supply in the theme park... so all rides closed for the day... damn... while waiting for the policeman uncle to come fetch us, since we have so much extra coupons... we went to spend it all on this buggy thing... where u ride a buggy in a sheltered carpark, the compound is so damn small... played for 20 mins, used up almost all of the coupons... and then the policeman uncle came, and we left... woohoo...

After that we stopped at Jusco to buy 1kg of Salmon and eat there on the spot lol... cos u see I am sort of a big shot here (not kidding)... the uncles were saying fish here is so fresh, and ask me what fish i like to eat in singapore, my grandma answered salmon zzz... i dun really fancy salmon sashimi, cos its just so ordinary... i like yellowtail sashimi cos it has a unique rough texture and taste... but well, they decided to bring me go eat salmon lol... 1kg of salmon isnt cheap to them... but well, we ate... bought sliced from the supermarket... and ate immediately... so fresh... yup and then policeman uncle had to go to some police station to check on some stuff cos there got some conflict he need to settle... so just waited in the van... then we went to visit the Shunde district government building, as in went in and walk a while... then again that uncle got mission again, so drop us off at some road nearby and ask us wait there while he go and settle and pick us up again... police here so busy sia... the uncle i was with misinterpreted and thought we were supposed to take a cab home zzz... so we hired a cab and went down the road, then policeman uncle called and asked where were we... asked us alight and wait for him lol... so blur sia... And so we headed to what looked like a tze char kopitiam for dinner... it was to be a farewell dinner for me and my grandparents... fish dishes and lots of clams and other shell type of seafood... i just spam the clams, keep eating lol... here so fresh sia... fried chicken and some other stuff... the servings here always so big sia... always cant finish the food... 2 tables, invited all the closer relatives for this farewell dinner... after that, said our goodbyes and went back to the village for more fellowship... then bedtime!

Day 9

My uncle fishing... thats the uncle which i live with in China...

That's that uncle's uncle washing the fishing net...

Thats me attempting to fish with what looks like a bamboo pole to me...

Exotic??? Rowing boat in a fish pond? LOL...

Where else can you do such exotic things man... its something new to get engaged in rather than just playing or sightseeing... dun think xi an got such things hor...

LOL my uncle is fat...

Stopping after a tiring sampan-rowing session lol...

The 2 fishes we caught using the fishing net... i didnt catch any with the rod... all they did was dump the net in and 2 big fishes and 2 small fishes came up... how efficient compared to the rod...

Trying to revive the fish with running water and it worked... cos one of them was injured and inactive...

The spread... fish head, fish intestine, fried fish body, raw fish belly slices all on different plates... they sure know how to eat fish, separate the parts and eat separately...

The fried parts, this would be the tail section...

The fish head... many fish heads, or rather chopped into many pieces... ouch...

Today you can say its the most exotic day of my life... LOL did things i never imagined i would be doing... and yea we went back to the same cafe for an early lunch... then we headed to another village nearby to visit my uncle's uncle... to do some fishing there...

Yes only fishing was planned... so the old uncle there help me set up a fishing rod with a bait and so i stood there fishing for half an hour... nothing came... they all sat around and watched me like as if i am performing a magic show with the rod zzz... and so no fish... so the old uncle came with a big fishing net, dumped it into the big pond... its his own private fish pond by the way which he uses to rear fish, there are like thousands in there... he hauled up the net and there were 2 big fish and 2 small fish... the 2 big fish were to become our dinner haha... and so they washed the net... then came a random question...

"Leong zai, you want to row boat? You know how to row right? I have a boat here, you can row with uncle"... the old uncle asked that, the young uncle i live with also kena stunned... cos he was like wearing jeans and polo shirt... not the right attire for rowing boat... well i thought it is a rather fresh and exotic experience, so I agreed lol... rather reluctant cos the water is so dirty, but not smelly so ok la... the old uncle's wife gave both of us some shorts to wear before we climbed down the little platform into the pond and onto the boat, after my uncle scooped all the water out of the almost sinking boat lol... rowed a number of rounds around the pond... its like canoeing, but i only row on the right side, my uncle behind do the steering of the boat... so cool la... can see fish below me and splashing around... its really amazing beyond description... those guys who go xi an for 6 weeks dun think they got to experience this lol... ya then got this fish splash out of the pond and landed in my boat... i just took pity on it and picked up and threw it back into the pond haha... my uncle say why i throw back, can keep for dinner what... i just said those we caught enough already... haha... yea then we stopped rowing after a number of rounds around the fish pond... changed back into our clothes, drank some tea... and off we went in the old uncle's car with the 2 fishes we caught for dinner in a pail...

Headed to Da Ban Qiao restaurant to dump the 2 fishes into their aquarium... the restaurants here allow their guests to bring their own fish for them to cook... cos some people like eating their own fish mah... interesting hor... dumped the 2 fishes into the aquarium but they rather unresponsive, like almost dead... so the old uncle took them out, dump into the pail again and drove to my village where an old auntie took over the 2 fishes and put it into a larger pail with running water.... running water = more oxygen for the fish... and yea the fishes became active again after an hour... someone brought the fishes back to the restaurant first, and we waited for dinnertime and headed to the restaurant too...

Dinner came and we had raw fish slices... its similar to what we eat for chinese new year with all those stuff... but here they dun mix those sweet stuff or jelly-like stuff that we do... here they mix fresh onion, green chilli, oil, fried onion, ginger, soy sauce and many other stuff... its salty, whereas singapore one is sweet... cos here they dun use preserved stuff... its fresh ingredients... the fish slices are white in colour one... everyone starts with a big plate each, whole plate laid with fish slices, then u choose what ingredients you wanna mix, then mix lor... ya then came different plates of fish stuff... fried fish tail, steamed fish head, steamed fish intestines... lol its like they separated every part and serve separately... poor fish... the 2 fishes we caught werent enough... they bought another 3 fishes from the restaurant... lol its like a fish feast tonight... we had fish porridge to go with all those fish LOL... like as if those fish werent enough, they had to bring the fish porridge in... bill came up to around 600 RMB for 12 people... thats cheap... S$120...

Fellowship, internet and bedtime...

The outdoor restaurant where we had dinner...

The kids in the village... simple minded but they lead a happy life... not like us, complicated but not happy...

Yay i got to wake up late again! Went to the same cafe in Jun An for lunch, great food once again... and then one of the horny uncles, who's actually a detective or some sort with the China police LOL, came to fetch us for some sightseeing... wonder if all policemen are horny people there haha...

We went into Daliang city's Po Mat Yuen... well thats how u pronounce in canto... chinese words can be found in the pic... its like a uber huge chinese garden... walked the whole place... saw wonderful bridges and pavillions... its like so cheena... but its nice haha... bought fish food to feed the koi fish with the kids... so fun, somehow dont get to do such things in singapore... feeding fish in a pond lol... some more 1 big pack of fish food only costs 1 RMB, which is like $0.20... worth it for the fun... u throw food in one area, all the fish come and gather... then the rest of the pond empty... haha... so we went to the rose garden, and some pavillions have exhibits of items from dunno what era... like all antiques there only... nothing too interesting... then drive to somewhere else to sit and slack and drink bubble tea, eat octopus balls and other stuff lol... like so long never eat such stuff already... the kids were so interesting... u know octopus balls got this brown flakes that they put on top right? And when its hot, those flakes will move... those kids dont know... they were rather scared that the flakes were moving, so they dun dare to eat... LOL... so the uncles were like playing with them... "the flakes die already, stop moving already, you can eat now... just now havent die thats why moving"... i was like wth... lol...

Then we headed to an outdoor restaurant for some cheena food... yea got deer meat lol... see the deer in the pic, his wife must have been assasinated! thats why he so emo... not sure if its a male though haha just guessing... yea this time only 3 tables, small gathering... fish again, same fish... wan yu... lol its getting boring but they love it... after that headed home...

I think i never mentioned how big shot i am here lol... Here when they order food, they ask me whether i like or not and what i wanna eat... and they always offer me food like as if i havent eaten for years... keep asking me to eat... then those aunties keep mentioning that i am the eldest grandson of the eldest son of my grandpa to whoever they talk to... then the other party will go like "wow"... like as if i am an alien from singapore... then they give me the smile, and i have to smile back... its like everyone knows i am the eldest grandson and i got special treatment... got people set up my sleeping area for me with mosquito net nicely done... kill mosquitoes for me when i complain there are mosquitoes... and here they dun serve soft drinks by cups, they just order a 1.5 litre bottle of coke or whatever... and usually its only 1 bottle they order, and its decided by me lol... sometimes its to the extent where i dunno whether to be humble or to act humble... give that "innocent" smile and let things go by haha...

2009-06-22T21:15:00.007+08:00

Some indoor fountain in some hotel called White Swan Hotel... how lame...

My so-called distant cousin from China... cute? more like freaking naughty can...

If i am not wrong, this is the Pearl River...

And the ferries...

Its a visit to Guangzhou city for Leong zai! Woke up early morning to catch a cab... more like a chartered car... they dont have public cabs here, well a few, but most are private cabs... its basically a normal car for people to hire, they dont have that "Taxi" sign on the roof... Yea my grandparents, that uncle and his naughty son plus me... squeezed in that car for a 2hour ride to Guangzhou city... Stopped at a hotel after 30mins for dim sum... really good dim sum there, though very crowded... And then continued on our journey north into guangzhou... The journey only costs 400RMB for 2 way... which is S$80... thats cheap for 5 people...

First stop... Teemall... went shopping for bermudas at Samuel & Kevin and Baleno Urban... bought 3... have to say the designs there are rather nice... grandpa cant shop cos he cant walk long, so sit at starbucks shake leg... lol...

Second stop was at some really cool place... its like many short buildings side by side... with many clothes shops outside and inside the building... its like far east plaza that kind of shops but more clustered and more funky and more variety... bought a long sleeve shirt, and a singlet there... plus a polo shirt for my dad... there no brands though lol... grandparents slacked at macdonalds cos they dun wanna walk...

Third stop was at White Swan Hotel for some phototaking at the indoor fountain... and there was supposed to be a big white swan outside the hotel, but now its gone... the hotel is darn grand la... marble flooring everywhere... its basically marble everywhere lol... and it has that posh appearance... yea took some shots and then its time to head back to the village... another 2 hour journey... reached back, dumped my clothes, rest a while then out to dinner again...

Dinner was at Da Ban Qiao, the restaurant where we dined on the first night... fish again... lots of fish stuff... people here are crazy about fish... yea big fish that is... wonderful dinner... one of my uncle's treat... i have many uncles lol, sorry if i am confusing u, but this is another uncle... After dinner we went to a nearby four star hotel... yea 4 star hotel in Shunde, surprised? About 12 of us went for a massage... arms, legs and lower body massage... nono not that part, they didnt touch that part or someone will get angry *ahem*... 3 to a room... i was following my grandpa and grandma to the same room... then one of the horny uncles came up behind me, put his arms around me and say in Cantonese "Leong zai, why do you follow your grandpa??? Follow your grandpa cannot learn anything one... Come follow your uncles..."... I was wondering what was there to learn, and then I finally got it LOL... and so he led me to a room where 2 of my horny uncles are and I innocently join them... as you know I am always very innocent one, whereas they are fucking sick... lol... so the girls came in, ya the ones who do the massaging... they ask her whether she find me nice or not... and wanna "gao" me or not... LOL what the hell... and tell me to bring her back to Singapore... the way they say it isnt sarcastic or rude, its more like damn hilarious... the girls didnt feel disturbed, cos i think they always get such men as customers that they should be used to it, just laughed along with us... really nice massage, though I feel ticklish very easily... so I was laughing partly becos its ticklish... was just laughing at their horny jokes and the way they disturbed the girls and me lol... the girls didnt believe that I was from Singapore... so my uncles just tried to convince them in a damn funny way... they still didnt believe... say dunno what "see he so leng zai, of course from Singapore la"... leng zai means handsome boy in cantonese btw... LOL so yea fun... the same uncle settled the bill 45 RMB per person for 1 hour, its cheap... thats S$9... 1000+ RMB for a night of enjoyment with dinner and massage, thats 200SGD, cheap right for 12 people? Lol things here are unbelievably cheap...

Yea went back to the village for some fellowship again, then internet and SLEEP!

2009-06-22T21:07:00.002+08:00

Day 6

My cheena aunt and uncle...

Uncle and grandma...

Lots of hardware actually... pity i dont need them, or I can just take... lol...

The front and the signboard...

My Singapore auntie’s family and my HK grandaunt left China and went back into HK by ferry early morning… yeah they only planned to stay for 2 nights… So its only me and my grandparents left in the village…

This time I actually got to sleep till noon… finally I could have a long deep sleep after so many days… My china uncle woke me up and we went for lunch at the same café we went to on the first day, with his son and my grandma… the food there is awesome, we keep going there throughout my stay in China… and then went to visit my uncle’s hardware shop nearby… it’s a small shop, but business not bad… number of bulk orders… Then went out with his wife for a walk with my grandma while he went to deliver goods… looked around at the sports shops for adidas stuff and some clothes, but the things there are either at cut throat prices or too damn ugly… cos I planned to go on an adidas shopping spree, which I eventually did in Hong Kong… yea its seriously a shopping spree lol, will talk about it… had some real good coconut juice… the coconut juice isn’t clear like the one we have in Singapore, its milky cos they add dunno what milk to it… not coconut milk definitely… the china girl selling is my age, and she is damn chio la seriously… so sporty wearing a Yonex polo shirt and shorts… look so modern unlike typical backward china girls… crap not sure if I should be saying she’s chio here… ahem*… I think I’m in trouble…

Went back to the village, walked past my grandpa’s old house, which currently belongs to my grandpa, soon to be passed down to my dad after the title deed is settled by the lawyer… it’s quite a big plot of land, worth some money… though I think the house should be torn down and built again, or rather refurbished for the sake of keeping it for memories… Dinner at night again at a nearby restaurant with all the uncles and granduncles and other relatives… the uncles always crack dirty jokes as usual… seriously damn funny the way they say it… and they always spam “diu”, which stands for “fuck” in Cantonese… ya its like every few sentences will have a “diu”… so cool right… I can never form a sentence with “diu” but they always manage to do it lol… Fish again… though its not as big as the fish I had the night before… the one the night before is so big and heavy that it needs 2 people to carry… just imagine… its like 1metre long… not kidding… today’s one was smaller… yea… after dinner it was fellowship with the rest in the village, then time for the internet, and finally time for bed…

2009-06-21T17:13:00.006+08:00

Day 5

At my grandpa's house, not the one I am staying at... but his house, the one he lived in as a child...

His bedroom...

The kitchen... shocked? Yea so dirty... with the firewood and the stove... this house is currently unoccupied... just that the land and the house belongs to my grandpa...

The entrance...

The alley again...

My family line's ancestral hall... the smoke is from the burning of the joss paper...

The Lee ancestral hall... there are celebrations here every October...

The donation board... my grandpa's name is on it...

This is some natural park near Daliang... its like Chinese Garden...
The entrance...

My auntie from Singapore and my cousin...

Group shot...

And a bigger group...

Went for Dim Sum in the city in the morning… the dim sum here is as good as hong kong… Singapore dim sum can just go die… yeah they order a lot, variety’s better here… in China, they believe in ordering more than enough food for their guests, such that they do not appear stingy… They believe that if the guests can finish the food ordered, that means the food isn’t enough… so yeah… so we always have leftovers… just like the dinner last night…

Went back to the village and visited my ancestral hall… where all the tablets of all my ancestors are placed on an altar… 3 rows… each row representing one generation… yea since I am not Buddhist, I do not have to burn joss paper or burn money and stuff… nor offer joss stick… so I just took 3 bows at the altar and then I am off back to the van… the place is full of mosquitoes… was wearing shirt and shorts, didn’t wanna get poked by those mosquitoes, I want my virginity lol… these mosquitoes here are commandos… no matter how much repellent you spray or no matter how u try killing them, its very tough to kill them… then we went to the Lee ancestral hall… a much bigger place where my grandpa told me he used to study and play here… its where all the Lees from all the different family lines are remembered… so here its basically a big altar with some of the earlier Lee people, and some statues of some gods and stuff… then I went to the donation board and saw my grandpa’s name there cos he donated some money back to maintain this ancestral hall… Quite a meaningful trip to these 2 ancestral halls…

And then we went on a 1hour road trip into Daliang city… where we bought some cheena biscuits…and had some very nice steamed milk… it’s a delicacy in HK and Southern China… and then we went sightseeing at somewhere which very much looks like the Chinese Garden in Singapore… looking at traditional houses with mountains and stuff… so much more authentic than Singapore’s Chinese Garden…

Dinner at an outdoor restaurant which lies along the Pearl River… the Pearl River is the river in Shunde where people here get their freshwater fish from… the fish here is very fresh, cos they only slaughter the fish just before cooking, regardless of where you eat… whereas for Singapore, we buy slaughtered fish… so by the time we cook it, the freshness is gone… here they eat live fish… dunno whats the name of the fish, here they call it Wan Yu in Cantonese… and yeah I have been speaking Cantonese everyday since I arrived in HK… seldom speak Cantonese in Singapore, except to my grandparents… and yeah tonight I sat with all the men and drank with them… I drank beer, they drank some other Chinese white wine which I swear is so “spicy” that it stings ur tongue, I just tried one sip and I gave up, and drank beer… beer here is more bitter than the Tiger Beer we have in Singapore… and the uncles and granduncles started regarding me as one of their kind haha… they taught me bad things man… well let me translate “Leong zai, you wanna drink coconut milk? Its very nice here, though its not as nice as human milk”… I was like what the hell LOL… and asked if I got girlfriend and whether I had sex before… ya they are very open lol… but I know they are joking… yeah once you drink with them, you become their friend… cos they look up to people who drink… yup after dinner… its time to read emails… that Marcus Jones is so what the hell… conveniently send one email to me and ask me take over his duties as SINvACC events coordinator… well thanks man, with the shit you are doing and the shit people you report to, I have to take over the shit? No way! I am already doing your damn job, just lacking the status you hold… and with you doing nothing zzz… bedtime…

2009-06-21T16:31:00.003+08:00

Day 4

On the ferry to Shunde harbour...

View of the city shortly after leaving Harbour City...

Hills... Trademark of HK... thats the beauty of HK, a wonderful city built on and between hills... trains running through hills and under the sea... bridges crossing hills and tunnels under the sea or through the hills... Hong Kong's architecture is fantastic...

Merchant ships which reflects HK's prosperity...

Shunde Harbour...

That's the view of the village from my bedroom on the 3rd floor...

Here's another shot...

The narrow alley which I have to pass through everyday during my stay...

Woke up early morning to catch the hotel bus to Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui with my grandparents, my auntie and her daughter… yea it’s a terminal for all the ferries to Macau and China, like our HarbourFront… the one who had high fever couldn’t come along cos he would be barred from entering China anyway, so yea he stayed in HK with his dad… cant stop feeling ridiculous, a roller coaster ride can cause a fever zzz… Checked in our baggage and then waited to board the ferry bound for Shunde… My hometown is in Guangdong province, Foshan City, Shunde District, Jun An town, Lam Po village… long yeah… yea that’s to be exact… well now people ask me where my ancestors are from, I can answer… haha… Ferry departed at 11am for a 2 hour trip into Shunde via the South China Sea followed by the Pearl River… Docked at 1pm, passed through the typical China immigration… slow, not cos they are detailed… just cos they work too slowly… boarded the ferry terminal’s shuttle into Jun An where I met some of the China relatives… yea if I count my granduncles and uncles, and grandaunties and aunties, it will take forever lol… met a granduncle, who’s my grandpa’s distant cousin, and he’s younger than my dad lol… yea had lunch at a china café there, real good food there, with very nice steamed milk as dessert…but u just cant seem to feel safe eating china’s food… took that granduncle’s van into “my” village… Lam Po’s village… by then, everyone was already calling me Leong zai… cool right?

There’s a room prepared for us in one of my uncle’s house… its 3 storeys and so big haha… yea rested a while… went to my grandaunt’s house for some fishcake… here the fishcake is so awesome, cos they use freshwater fish… people in shunde live their days eating freshwater fish… and no meal goes without steamed fish… the fishcake is greyish in colour, instead of the white we eat in Singapore… then went for a mini banquet at a nearby restaurant to celebrate our “homecoming”… 36 people were present, with 3 tables… my grandpa is quite big shot there though, dunno why, it appears that he is the second oldest there in the village… didn’t really mix around, u know, cos I am, ermmmm… shy… yeah… the men were drinking at a table… here the men and women sit separately, the wives dun sit with the husbands at such a banquet… and the men here bond by drinking, as I didn’t drink that night, they didn’t regard me as one of them yet haha… after dinner went back to the village… set up my laptop with the internet connection there… yeah irony right… internet in a village, no internet in a hotel… settled some stuff cos haven’t had internet for 3 days, then went to bed… zZz…

Yea headed to Disneyland by MTR after Breakfast… a very long journey… the Disneyland trains are so cute lol the windows as you can see above… and the interior is very cool… when alighting the announcement said “Welcome to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and have a magical day!”… well how magical can my day be man… Bought tickets… got the maps and guides… then went to our first station… its some Buzz Lightyear thing at Tomorrowland… went on board a slow choo choo train with a laser gun… and you gotta shoot these targets on the wall and score points… some are stationary targets, some are moving… the moving ones have more points… I had the highest score among all those on the same train haha… cool… and then me and my cousin jonathan went for an indoor roller coaster ride called Space Mountain… so dark I cant see shit… it felt like we kept moving up, but somehow we dun feel it coming down… only can feel the thing bang left bang right, sometimes down… but somehow we didn’t feel it was going down much… zzz… perhaps its too dark and so we cant see it going down… yea was exciting… my cousin is very weak by the way… after that roller coaster ride, plus the sun, plus fried food for lunch… he got headache the whole day and high fever at night… what the hell… this is what makes a “magical” day I suppose… then we went to watch some Disney musical where most of the Disney characters are featured on stage with a storyline… real cool… sing Disney songs and dance and stuff… so cute, I love Stitch haha… went to Small Small World after that where we went on a boat ride and along the route there are exhibits representing different parts of the world… have a video of it above… view in internet explorer pls… then we went for some Go-Kart with a very noob track, like for kids la… so slow and track so basic… zzz… then went for “Stitch Encounter” where the audience got to chat with Stitch on a big screen at the “Space Control Centre”… Its really interactive, cos its like a real Stitch talking to you… Stitch asked one of the audience “Hey the guy sitting outside on the 1^st row, whats ur name?”… the guy answered and Stitch was able to say his name back… “Oh so your name is …, so who’s with you?” and Stitch was able to talk like any ordinary human being haha… so cool… yea had fried chicken for lunch…

After lunch went to watch the Disney parade… where all the characters parade along the street… yea have a video of a segment of it above too… so nice wor… then we went to Adventureland to watch a Lion King musical… really perfect choreography with fire performance and stuff… characters dancing and singing… so cute la… then went on a raft across the river to Tarzan’s treehouse… climbed the treehouse and see some Tarzan’s belongings and stuff… took the raft back… then went on a river cruise lol with lots of fun fake elephants spraying water, spiders crawling, waterfall and stuff… then it started raining heavily… we made our way back to the exit with whatever umbrellas we could find… took the MTR back to the hotel with my weak cousin having a severe headache zzz… after a roller coaster ride… dunno what to say… yea met up with another cousin of mine who is also in Hong Kong on a holiday alone with his friend…

It was his first trip to Hong Kong… and so I brought him around at night… headed to Tsim Sha Tsui by MTR… had dinner with him at a café there… hong kong’s fish ball hor fun is also not bad… their fish balls are harder simply cos they stuff more meat… yup… then walked around the Adidas shop there… lol u see Singapore adidas shops are always only a small shop… this one in Tsim Sha Tsui is actually 3 storeys… its like a departmental store opened by Adidas lol… found some stuff that I want… want to buy an Adidas hoodie if I have spare cash at the end of the trip… my Quiksilver one I am getting sick of it… yea and so we went over to the Avenue of Stars where there are handprints of all the famous Hong Kong artistes on the ground tiles… across that would be the night city skyline of Hong Kong’s business district… they call it Central… so wonderful, look at the pics above… like what you always see in hong kong dramas… hong kong night lights in the city is wonderful, almost like the Manhattan one in New York, if not better… it was raining heavily… so we were walking in the rain, taking cover under shelter occasionally… snapping photos here and there… then we decided to run to the MTR shelter and found another sports shop to look around at the Adidas stuff… I am an adidas fan haha… yea quite cheap too, but the designs didn’t appeal to me, as in the T-shirts… and so we went to a toilet to dry ourselves… walked to the MTR station and took a train back to Mongkok and bought supper… bought curry fish balls and pig’s blood back to the hotel for supper… Samuel spent the night at the hotel, simply becos his accommodation at a friend’s house sucks, cos its only a mattress on the floor with a pillow, and its so far away… so just spend the night here lor… he took my bed zzz… so I slept with my grandma on the same bed like I did when I was a little boy… yea I know sleeping with an old lady is weird… dun mention it lol… yea and its bedtime…

Its day 2… and from this day on, my grandaunt gave me a new name… I am now called Leong zai… yes Lester Lee Wai Leong, so Leong zai… how convenient… yea and Leong zai woke up so damn early to have breakfast with his grandmother at some café… here they call it cha chan tang… such cafes are so common over hong kong, and prices vary with location… we both had wanton noodles… and since hong kong is wanton land, the wanton here is marvellous, so big and nice… not like Singapore… Singapore wanton is what I would call pork balls… round and hard… here its big and soft with prawns… yea… and so we walked back to the hotel where I watched cable TV while waiting to meet Dennis at 11 at the hotel lobby… I have my laptop, and there is internet charged at HKD40 per hour… so why pay so much just for one hour of internet… might as well watch discovery channel… that’s why first few days I no internet… and yea came 11, went down to the lobby to meet Dennis whom I met during the international air cadet exchange in Canada… if NCC has given me anything good, it would be the IACE programme in Canada… wonderful and valuable experience, and got to know so many friends who live everywhere in the world… other than that, NCC is just an ordinary CCA to me… we walked to Prince Edward area and looked at aircraft models at some shopping centre there which has lots of shops selling aircraft models… then we took the MTR… here they call MRTs MTR… yea MTR-ed to Sham Shui Po to hunt for airband scanners at Apliu Street… Hong Kong’s most famous place to buy electronics, whether first hand or second hand… walked around and finally I bought an airband scanner costing HKD980, which is around SGD190… quite cool… went to test it and tuned to Hong Kong Radar and Hong Kong Approach and heard air traffic control conversations… That night I heard Singapore 2… which is SQ2 flying to San Francisco from HK… yea after leaving apliu street, we went to kowloon city shopping centre for some Beijing ramen… And so after that, we walked to Nam Cheong MTR station where I caught the train to Tung Chung where I was supposed to meet all my other relatives for the Ngong Ping 360 cable car ride… Sorry if my blog posts are long, cos I believe in being detailed…

I reached early so I just shopped around Citygate Outlets… its where all the branded factory outlets are located… Nike, Adidas, Puma, Quiksilver, New Balance and stuff… Went to Adidas and bought a black T-shirt… quite cheap compared to Singapore… quite cool… Relatives came, bought tickets, went on the Ngong Ping Cable Car up to Ngong Ping Shan in Lantau Island… wonderful experience… I was above the valleys and mountains on Lantau, and above the clouds… with a full view of Hong Kong International Airport and some arriving and departing traffic… then we reached Ngong Ping… walked around the shops there… things so ex cos it’s a tourist attraction… went to Po Lin Monastery to look around… had some very nice beancurd near the monastery… yea then took the cable car down… it was raining and windy… so the cable car was swaying side to side… and at that height swaying, its actually damn scary… but I am fine with it cos I have been on it on my last trip to HK… if you ask me whats so nice about HK that I keep coming, its simply because the atmosphere here is very warm, somehow I feel at home here and a sense of belonging… its something I cant describe… it’s the atmosphere, the kind of aura the city has… the architecture of HK is just unique… Dinner was at Kowloon Tong… some restaurant in some shopping centre there… nice Northern China cuisine before heading back to the hotel by MTR… yea and its bedtime for Leong zai…

Day 1

Cathay Pacific Airways flight CX734@Gate D40

Airbus A340-300, registered B-HXN, ex-SIA aircraft

Boarding... on the jetbridge...

Just look at the number of rivets due to maintenance, looks scary...

SIA Boeing 777-300 few gates away...

Just look, we were number 7th for takeoff... so many waiting to takeoff, and some waiting to land...

Singapore Airlines Airbus A330-300, registered 9V-STG... took this from inside the aircraft...

Airborne after takeoff from runway 20C... Mersing Four Bravo departure, M771 transition... I have a video of the takeoff, but its too big to upload... Late rotation due to the A340-300's poor takeoff performance, only rotated at the fire station...

Fish with potatoes... looks disgusting right? SIA will never serve such food... they always have ben & jerry's or haagen dazs ice cream, not just toblerone chocolates... and the fish is tasteless!

Late afternoon sun over Kuantan...

About 1hour from landing...

Over the South China Sea!

Sunset over South China Sea...

I think its raining... hmmm...

How beautiful...

Hong Kong's night skyline... with all the buildings like fireflies lol...

Cathay Pacific Airways...

The heart of Hong Kong's air traffic control...

Arrived! Walking to immigration...

The Tsing Ma Bridge at night... beautiful... pity my camera sucks though...

The trademark logo of HK's MTR system... yes they dont call it MRT... and the mini buses are a trademark of HK too...

On the Airport bus to the hotel...

My room...

And my grandma...

Morning was dim sum brunch at Red Star Restaurant in Chinatown with my grandparents and some relatives before heading to the airport for the flight to Hong Kong… Red Star’s dim sum is getting more substandard, their ingredients are not as fresh as before in its heyday…Yum Cha is so much better… Yea and so we checked in at Terminal 1… and then headed for some coffee in the departure hall before moving in to gate D40… we were too early and so my grandparents and my grandaunt sat at the gate while I roamed the airport looking at perfumes and alcohol… yea saw some nice perfumes lol and spotted some nice alcohol which I would buy once I arrived back in Singapore… I think I would get some vodka to go with my coke at home yea… should be nice… usually drink beer, its getting too bitter… also getting sick with my honey beer at home… vodka would be something new…

My flight there would be CX734, an Airbus A340-300, registered B-HXN… Well Cathay Pacific may be the Airline of the Year 2009… but their regional service is a total disappointment… so disappointed that I felt like asking the cabin crew “How much did your CEO pay to bribe Skytrax to get the Airline of the Year award?” … Boarding was at 4.15pm local time… It was a pleasant flight, but inflight entertainment sucks big time… perhaps Cathay Pacific isn’t comparable to Singapore Airlines… or perhaps I am expecting too much… there was a delay on the ground as there were 6 other aircraft ahead of us waiting to takeoff, with a few more flying in to land… We were 7^th to takeoff… It was a rather long takeoff run, as A340-300s are known to have poor takeoff performance… After takeoff, I just watched bits of different movies, the resolution is so bad that I gave up watching and went to listen to music… then found that I am actually better off sleeping than mess around with their inflight entertainment cos it sucks big time… the meal onboard was rather disappointing… they call that fish, but to me its so tasteless that I cant tell whether its fish or not… and SIA gives ben & jerry’s ice cream as dessert, but look Cathay gives fruits as dessert… Airline of the Year? Nice joke… No doubt your long haul service is good, but focus on your damn regional service first… So I went to sleep till the captain came on to announce that we are descending into Hong Kong…

Touchdown was smooth, and a long landing run… typical A340-300s… need long takeoff and landing runs… and we docked at gate 48… super long walk to immigration… had to take an underground train to immigration… cos gate 48 was at the extreme end of the west wing of the terminal… Well in case u guys dunno, after I sleep in a cold environment, I tend to have a higher temperature… so when passing through the health checkpoint area… I was spotted to have a high temperature, so they pulled me aside and have my temperature taken… and yea they got jacked, I had no fever ahahahaha losers… immigration took really long… cos some woman held up the queue, apparently her passport had problems… yea finally we got to arrival hall, and my hong kong relatives came to welcome us lol… and so we took the airport bus to the Royal Plaza Hotel in Mongkok where I would be spending my next 3 nights… met up with my aunt’s family who took the early morning flight to hong kong… discussed the next day’s itinery then and we went for supper at Ajisen Ramen at Grand Century… yea and then its time for bed… what a tired day...

2009-06-06T01:31:00.002+08:00

Monday... gymmed with arthur, swim and jacuzzi... and then bought food to eat outside LT like beggars lol cos LT was occupied... and yea sat through the 2 dumb lectures... took notes reluctantly... yea dismissed and yea thats about it for monday...

Tuesday was Communication Skills for Work (CSW) test... had to simulate this business telephone call with eugene... i was some housing agent, and eugene was acting like he wanted to rent a condo and stuff... had to cover some important queries in the convo... lol yea i think we did well... just a telephone convo... and so we had plenty of time since OM lecture was cancelled... so we bussed down to IMM to search for some stuff in home fix DIY... we refers to my project group... yea and then shopped around and went sightseeing at daiso... then bussed to clementi food centre for lunch, and then went back to school for lectures... yea...

Wednesday was so lame... Human Factors tutorial was like totally redundant that he should just cancel the damn tutorial... brought us to the library, booked a theatre and watched Top Gun... quite an old but classic movie... thought it was rather over dramatised for a fighter show... and stupid arthur had to piss me off by making fun of my hair and kicking my damn chair... almost wanted to punch him... sometimes he just goes overboard... fuck u man... then went swimming with weiyang and some other class guys from his project group... yea swam 20 laps... wah i swear freestyle is damn tiring... people say my freestyle slow motion one... lol well i can manage to stay afloat with just a slow speed so why not... swam a bit of breast stroke to relieve the ache lol... yea then chiong to avionics lecture... eugene, derrick and i pon gems to go play Left4Dead lol... cool right... eugene's 1st time playing L4D in a group zzz... sua ku... yea then went with eugene to his office in havelock road to sign up for the Sony Ericsson/M1 job... to start after i am back from hong kong... had this short little interview and i'm done... yea just a weekend job so i dun end up rotting at home...and i am damn surprised my mum was supportive of this job... i thought she would like want me to stay at home or smth... she actually said "as long as it dun affect ur studies, i dont care what you do"... oh wow am i supposed to be thankful? and yea lunched at some kopitiam and zoomed down to town to meet *ahem* to eat again... and yea dun need to elaborate here... then went home... my grandfather's sister came to singapore on sunday... and yea at night went out with her and my parents for chicken rice at boon tong kee... awesome... to me its the best chicky rice in singapore, though rather ex as compared to kopitiam, but not as ex as chatterbox... ya its very nice lol...

Thursday... lectures in the morning, then aircraft systems pract... about aircraft de-icing and anti-rain systems... yea then went off to west mall to do some shopping... bought a shirt from giordano, and some groceries for my troublesome mum... and to return my library book... yea... zoomed home... ate, showered... then zoomed to sji for training... yea part Cs pre spec programme... not a camp-style this year though... but still ok la as long as objectives are met... conducted some lecture about aircraft structures and fundamentals of flight lol... like what i've learnt in school, but much much more basic haha... let them do the noob test, go through answers and yea done... watched them do drills, thank god not as atrocious as before... preached a bit here and there cos quite worried they will screw up in spec course... so yea... went home with chief reporter nicky so early cos trg ended like extra early lol... auntie came over to bring me and the old folks out for dinner... gave me some itinery briefing... she actually has an itinery planned for me for the first few days lol... sounded too good to reject, go disneyland, repulse bay and the peak and stuff... so well seems like i have to meet dennis after i am back from guangzhou... basically tmr i will be travelling with 3 old folks... my grandpa, grandma and my grandpa's sis... zzz... so i gotta do all the check-in and stuff for them... bring them to their gate, fill in arrival cards, order their meal... wth... cos they dunno english... i feel so important now, leading 3 old folks into the treacherous terrain of hong kong LOL...

Friday... had some time in the morning before training... so went out with *ahem* to watch Night at the Museum 2... lunch at macs, the 12pm to 2pm mcvalue lunch is soooo worth it... lol cheap and yea worth it... i have been collecting the glass that they are giving... i think i missed one in the series though... damn... zoomed home shower... zoomed to sji... yea late, well i had "something on" in the morning thats why haha... watched them practise IFC mutuals, and yes without rifles to demo... and nicky didnt even realise till i mentioned... then came drills mutuals... changed to no.3... did the usual grading on confidence, presentation, bearing bla bla bla... yea submitted, well but these arent the real scores... the real scores have been sort of you know "imagined" and "hallucinated" and submitted earlier by "my best friend"... how awesome... sang some songs with them, taught them some dirty songs and some decent songs for them to sing during spec course... or they will just keep singing the same old damn song... how pathetic... played some noob touch rugby among the specs and CDOs, my team was like so disadvantaged... all the shorties... yea then came the interviews... surprisingly it was fun making fun out of them haha... dunno what "waiting for stars to fall down" or "good afternoon???? where is the sun ar?" lol all the sarcasm... yea boarded an almost empty bus with nicky, which is a miracle at that time, cos in the evening, it is almost impossible to get an almost empty bus 190 lol... well cool... settled my ban mian dinner at some kopitiam near my place... nowadays so many nice ban mian springing up around my place... such that i cant even decide where to go should i decide to eat ban mian... all equally nice... haha... and then now packing my things for the trip like packing for war... ya seriously like packing to go for world war 2... so many things to bring... but well since i am a seasoned camper, packing is no big deal... its just so heavy... yea sorted out my itinery with dennis in hk, dota-ed with zac... and now its time to pack my laptop, my aircraft systems notes to bring on the trip to study and to pack all my other stuff...

Flight tmr will be on an Airbus A340-300... which is rather damn old in Cathay Pacific's fleet... hope they have decent inflight entertainment... havent been on their A340s so i dunno what to expect... and i hope i get that OneWorld special livery A340-300... so nice man... will blog again in hong kong... i will have internet connection from the 6th to the 9th... then after that i wont have internet cos i'm going in to my grandpa's village... and yea will be back in HK on the 17th... and bad news, i will be back in singapore on the 19th instead of the 20th... dunno why the sudden change though... And here's something hilarious... first some background of myself, my grandpa has 3 sons and 3 daughters, 2 daughters are older than my dad... my dad's the eldest son, which means i am the eldest son of the eldest son... and at the same time the eldest grandson in the family tree... that makes me pretty darn big and favouritised in the traditional context... yes my grandparents are very biased towards me, cos they are very traditional... its not easy for the eldest grandson in the family to be the eldest son of the eldest son... As such, traditions in the village states that for the eldest son of the eldest son to return to the village, its considered as an important descendant returning to the hometown or ancestral birthplace... and a banquet has to be held lol... u think i am kidding? No way... i was surprised that they actually wanted to hold a banquet just for my return LOL... i feel like a king... its so damn traditional... but well, i am very sure that my grandpa wanna dispense with the formalities... i wouldnt want the banquet too... its so embarrassing... imagine going around 10 tables shaking hands with villagers u dunno, cos everyone in the village will be invited, just because i happen to be the main character of the banquet... that would be more than 10 tables... expensive too... this is so lame... i hope they do away with this crap... well stay tuned for more updates...

2009-05-31T17:06:00.005+08:00

It's that time of the month again where i am having my PMS... LOL... erm nvm... hmmm where did i stop? oh yes, monday...

Tuesday... World War 3 between eugene and xavier lol... well 5 of us were in eugene's car going to clementi long john silver for lunch... eugene was like speeding towards xavier and jam brake in front of him just for the fun of it, and xav stepped on eugene's bumper and act gangster... and since eugene loves his car so much well, they almost fought... this is how having fun can turn into a disaster... to the extent where eugene wanted to call police and ask xav for compensation... so serious for what? still friends what... haiz all the lame lectures in the afternoon and yea its over...

Wednesday... its human factors debate again... not enough time to finish all the groups, so there was an extra lesson for my group to debate... well i think it was quite screwed up... this ben ho talk until like agree with the opponent, until i blur already... dunno how to cover the loopholes he created zzz... dots... well this sucks... quah actually said to me "i expected ur group to do better"... well dun so high expectations la... yea and project meeting in the afternoon... yea i skipped gems cos no point, sure do nothing in gems anyway... was a distracting project meeting anyway, i was reading my book, and xav and jeremy were watching anime till andrew came LOL... so distracted as usual... my book need to read finish by this thursday's due date then gotta return to library... asked kelvin for more budget for our UAV project, but well seems like the tote board, which is the school's main sponsor for projects pulled out, so the projects would have less budget to work with... well i wont disclose the amount offered to us, cos it is just simply hilarious... but well, we have under-the-table offers from some suppliers, lets see if we can work with them...

Thursday... mass lectures in the morning... then came aircraft systems tutorial... the last 1 hour of it we went to library to watch some fighter pilot blu-ray film... so cool man, some operation red flag movie... quite realistic and inspiring... lunched at FC1, havent been there for ages, still as dirty as ever... went to library to finish drawing the circuit diagram after lunch, ended up copying and modifying eugene's diagram lol... then came avionics pract... did my circuit board which was very interesting... soldering the electronic components, just didnt know how to place them... cos i cant seem to be able to read and understand the damn circuit diagrams... shit man it looks like greek to me... so i just gotta pester eugene to help LOL... yea and then after that, chiong down to sji for training... watched the part Cs perform some total defence drama... some are quite comical... "sir sir are you ok?"... "uh no"... u should hear the tone of "uh no", its like so sarcastic... haha... and went to see the part As, improving, but still not good enough... do drills can scratch nose and wipe away their sweat one zzz... like as if they think i not watching them... taught the part Cs some stuff, yea and then went to canteen sit down slack, chit chat with hariz and mel ho... ultimate slacking during training LOL... yup and went home with hariz... slacked through the night...

Friday... woke up late, so skipped aircraft systems lecture... went for mech pract... so boring... chit chat with jeremy and lx aout dota until teacher call us up to ask us questions about what he taught... and since me and jeremy werent paying much attention, we were sort of screwed lor lol... well this is poly, so nothing too bad can happen for not paying attention haha... yea so just smoked my way through his question, anyhow talk, and yea we got through it cos he gave us a chance... what a lame lecturer... yea and then i asked eugene about his weekend job... well i wanna have a weekend job, since i have been wasting my weekends away anyway... might as well go out and learn something while earning money... yea u learn a lot by working... its like something u cant learn in school... so i went with zhuo wei and eugene to tiong bahru plaza for lunch, and then to their office in havelock road to arrange for an interview... and yea, its a sony ericsson job... will be promoting their handphones in M1 shops... gonna learn to be a sony ericsson guru... will be given some phone models to play, so dun be surprised if u see me with multiple phones to play with next time... well promoters need to have the new models to play with to familiarise... turned out that their boss wasnt around, so just filled up the form and come another day for interview...

Saturday... aeromod training in HQ NCC... so unproductive la... all the planes down after a while, and the weather was like raining after a while... so we ended early... and yea "interrogated" raihan about the aeromod postings lol... the politics within the sec 3s now ar and the aeromod side ar is so bad... so bad that the officers and me have to step in... yea lunched with mel ho at ang mo kio macs and chit chat... and then he drove me home haha... yea back to bukit batok... cos he wanted to go there to collect some stuff... yay i got a ride home! slept a while, fly a bit, dota a bit... then control at night for the night ops... and planned my itinery for my hong kong trip with dennis...

Sunday today... yea just a couch potato at home... finished my project quotation and sent to the rest... while flying haha... yup

I'm going off to Hong Kong and Guangzhou this coming Saturday... i got my itinery planned... will be flying on the cathay pacific evening flight Cx734 to HK... and yea my hotel will be the royal plaza hotel in mongkok... sunday would be spent in HK disneyland, watch fireworks there in the night... monday would be a half day tour to The Peak and Repulse Bay, followed by watching the city lights at some harbour in Tsim Sha Tsui in the night... Tuesday check out of hotel, take a ferry into Guangzhou, and go back to my grandfather's birthplace in some town there... yea long time ago he sailed down the South China Sea alone from Guangzhou in 1940 in some noob ship, he was only 12 yrs old then... came here to look for a job, and yea stayed in singapore till today, survived the japanese occupation here... well u may say i am very "tu" or outdated, but i am very interested to find out my roots, cos i think most chinese here in singapore do not even bother to travel back to china to find their roots... thats like so screwed up... yea i will be staying at my grandfather's old house, which is currently occupied by his relatives and nephews... now so high tech, renovated the whole place, got air con and stuff... i think it would be a good experience for me... Will be back in HK on the 17th... will do lots of shopping for clothes and stuff... planning for a dinner on one of those weekdays with jonathan tam, my ex classmate... and then on the 20th, I will be going plane spotting with dennis, fellow air cadet whom i met in canada during the international air cadet exchange, yea then will lunch with him and he will accompany me to buy an airband scanner for me to smuggle back to singapore... so that I can listen to all air traffic control conversations in singapore... yes its illegal... but i am very interested to listen to ATC... so yup thats my plan... and then after spotting, i would be taking the night flight CX715 back on the 20th... i think the trip would be a memorable one... would be travelling with my grandparents and my auntie's family, who will only be there till 13th... been to hong kong quite a number of times, but this will be the first time i am more or less alone with my own personal itinery haha... it would be an emo trip for my grandfather... as it would be his last trip back to his hometown, not that i am cursing him, but he isnt that young anymore, already 81... and so he thought he should bring me, his eldest grandson back for some sightseeing...

2009-05-25T20:55:00.015+08:00

Guys, it's a long post...

Video taken after we FLAGPOLED eugene on his birthday... yes the forte of our class, is flagpoling... he was like whining after that... pls use internet explorer to view the video...
1st pic: Jeremy and LX playing and ambushin at Toys'R Us today... like KIDS...
2nd pic: LOL the mechanics 3 attendance sheet... everyone's photo kena "modified"... i am apparently modified to become Neo from Matrix...
3rd pic: Yea eugene with his cake and check out the sign hung on his neck... LOL... Basically it says "BIRTHDAY BOY" and "Sing bday song for me! =)" haha...
4th pic: Me and Pat got too bored, and so we exchanged "friendly" messages, for FUN lol... the power of boredom...

Well hmmm... Thursday was just a boring long day at school, followed by a rather comprehensive project meeting, finally moving ahead with our project... at night 11 of us went to Garden Hotel for some local fare buffet dinner to celebrate eugene's bday... i prefer to put it as class outing lol... cos eugene isnt that important oops haha... yea nice ambience there, though food not much choices, but hey they were good... we played something like guess the number, whoever guessed the number supposed to eat a slice of cake or something... quite fun... only kena once yay... the waiter was like staring at us, using their food to play games for like 1 hour...

Friday hmmm... school ended at 12... then i went to west mall spectacle hut to get my specs done... did some lame eye test... they diagnosed that my left eye is 50 degrees, and my right eye is perfect... how weird... stupid left eye... and they also diagnosed that i got what chinese call "shan guang"... its like my vision will be affected if i read words in bright areas... yea chose my frame and its done! its grey half-frame... 50 degrees left eye only zzz... but i got both lens 50 degrees, cos shan guang need minimum 50 degrees to counter even if no degree... and so i went home to shower, and went down to sji for training... basically i conducted some fundamentals of flight lecture to the sec 1s lol to prepare them for their aeromod test on wed... haha just taught the basics of course... suddenly felt like a lecturer teaching and going through mock tests... oh and wow no PT! they are all gonna be so fat soon, like barney... while the other parts went swimming or shooting... ya swimming how fun and beneficial can that be... zzz...

Saturday and sunday nights were spent controlling... cos got event on vatsim as usual... daytime was spent out doing nonsense with so and so in town... hahahaha... i dun think we can hang out that much very soon... haiz... but well, its fine...

And yes, today's monday... gymmed with arthur, derrick and eugene in the morning... went swimming a few laps just for the fun of being in water... then rot a while in jacuzzi, showered, ate kfc and zoomed to class... yea mechanics lecture 1hr... then we pon avionics lecture to go toys'r us at vivo city to check out floats for our final year project... and we ended up playing those toy hammers and stuff.. whacking and ambushing each other around the shelves LOL like kids... as shown in the pic above... and then we rot at burger king while andrew ate... and then xav took andrew's burger king cup, covered it with serviettes, walked in to carl's junior, asked for a carrier, put that BK cup into the carl's junior carrier, and refilled the free flow drinks in carl's jr... and SUCCEEDED LOL... zzz... only he will do such a cheapo thing... so embarrassing hor... yea and we went to lavender mrt to meet adi, a senior and a fellow clt to me... yea he is like our advisor for our UAV project before he enlists of course.. been a great help to us today, gave valuable advice on what to buy and what to do, and helped us get great prices for our equipment... we went shopping and getting quotations from a certain hobby shop in lavender... quite expensive as compared to another source we found today... haiz... yea and so i went to west mall to collect my new specs... i swear i look so nerdy in specs, and yet like so gentlemanly *ahem*... like some pervert acting decent u know that sort of look... LOL... and yea i came home and wanted only to blog and sleep... then 2 cadets approached me on msn suddenly and poured to me their woes about their part's politics, then i spoke to chitty about it... aiyo i feel like some counsellor seriously... CLT = Counsellor Lieutenant... and so i brought it up... well cant share here, cos this is a sensitive issue, since i know someone reads my blog...

And yea I need to rant again... well imagine you are in a group discussion with a problem to be solved... and you have many things to say, and since you have so many things on your mind to address, you tend to forget about certain details, and end up asking stupid questions or making what it may seem as an unintelligent comment simply because u lost track of what happened... then there is someone in the group, who totally has nothing to say, suddenly capitalises on the dumb comment you make or the dumb question you ask, and say that you are blur, and say things like "this is already discussed what"... well if there are so many things on your mind, you think it is so easy to keep track of every damn detail that has been mentioned before? considering that the problem is such a comprehensive and complicated one? Well basically, i just cant stand people who have no comments or no solutions to give, while listening to someone else troubleshooting or giving a solution, and yet when that someone says something wrong at the spur of the moment because someone's mind goes blank suddenly, and then pounce on the opportunity to jack that someone and put that someone down in order to act superior...when in fact, he has nothing to say or nothing in his mind to help solve the problem in the first place... instead of being so focused on waiting silently to pick on people's mistakes and to pick on people whose mind have suddenly gone blank while sharing, just to feel superior, why not you use that attention to think of a solution to solve the problem? It's alright to say nothing in a discussion, but don't be quick to suan others because of a wrong comment they make, when you have kept quiet all along, and others like me have to save their embarrassment by saying "oh i was thinking of something else"... i would rather you just answer the stupid question immediately, instead of making sarcastic comments out of it if you have nothing to contribute...

But well, i gotta bear with it...

2009-05-20T20:38:00.005+08:00

2009-04-27T23:40:00.002+08:00

Hey folks...

Well its 5 days since i blogged... well gotta summarise it... thursday was just a boring day at school with an elaborate project meeting in the late afternoon... just realised there are so many obstacles in our submersible UAV final year project... and yea, we will work it out somehow...

Friday was just a short day at school... 3 hours only in the morning... mechanics utorial ended so early cos nothing to teach... so we went to listen to a project talk... and yea found out got other interesting projects to do such as rocket propulsion system and stuff... lol if we were to make a rocket propulsion system, north korea would love us like crazy... and so i went home to iron my no.3, darken my shoes and took a 30min nap, and zoomed to sji for mr tung's farewell parade... it has been ages since i actually stood on the parade square for a parade... usually CLTs would just stand under shelter and no need to do any drills... this time gotta stand under the hot sun with the cadets and do drills... brings back fond memories... lol well its a special parade for tung... and yea it was meaningful... the programme was meaningful with some cool ceremony and video... lol still got cake sia... nowadays sji ncc air everything also got cake sia, we can go open cake shop already... NCC=national cake confectionery... ok enough of lameness... got so pissed with the cadets, so i screw them... mood swing like pendulum bob again... its a lifeskill... woo so exciting wor... and then swing back to my original self... lol... gave a sarcastic talk to the sec 3s to break their morale so they stop acting cocky before they go spec course and be arrogant and screw themselves up... yes it was a soft sarcastic talk... shouting all the while makes lester a dull boy right... LOL... went home with the chief reporter nicky... yup and thats about it...

Saturday was CLT general meeting in the morning at HQ... SJI was having aeromod there too... joined in after the meeting... and guys, stay tuned to this very stupid story i am going to tell you now... the stupidest thing i ever did in my life... ok there is this cadet who has the same bag as me... i was wearing long pants after the meeting and it was uncomfortable with my wallet and phone in my pocket... and so i put it in my bag... then i went to help out a while and change to shorts... after the training, cadets left, only me and mel ho remaining... i was looking for my phone and found that its missing together with my wallet and my CLT pass! zzz i panic like siao... look around the toilet where i changed, cos i initially dunno whether i brought them to the toilet or not... then went to search aeromod centre... asked almost everyone possible whether they saw my stuff... went to ncc ops room, and HQ guard house... all say never see... cos there were so many cadets in HQ that day for NDP rehearsal... so i thought my stuff were definitely taken by one of them lol... and so mr ho drove the-then-emo me out to yio chu kang mrt, lent me $5 to go home... i called my mum using a public phone to deactivate my sim card and ez-link card cos those are the most important stuff, lucky IC not in my wallet or will have to report police... and when i got home, my mum didnt get it done... so i was so furious and kaopei her, such simple things also cannot get them done... pissed... and so i deactivated everything myself... and turned on my computer... just then mr ho immediately said to me on msn "part B joachim just called me... he said that your things are in brian koh's bag!"... only then i felt such a great relief... yes that brian koh has the same bag as me, and i put my stuff in the wrong bag... dots... so i contacted brian koh to meet up to pass me back my stuff... phew... i finally got a chance to shoot my mum... she always say "eh why you always holding your wallet and handphone in your hand whenever you go out, cant you put in your bag??? You buy a bag for what?!Hold in your hand, sure leave somewhere and lost one" Now i can shoot her back and say "Its precisely because i tried to put them in my bag, thats why i am facing this problem today! If i still held it in my hands, it wont go to the wrong bag!"... LOL... well... hope u enjoyed my story... saturday night ops on vatsim was hectic, so busy, so many traffic... needed help and that eugene dunno disappear until where... well shall not bore you with the details...

Sunday was just slacking at home in the day... went out in the evening to meet brian koh at buona vista to collect my stuff... lol he actually packaged my stuff so nicely in an envelope... so sweet wor... it seriously sucks not having my sim card for one day... cant do shit... well its not my K890i that was missing, its some other noob non-camera phone... K890i cant bring to HQ cos got camera, for those that dunno HQ doesnt allow cameras... wah finally all my belongings are back...

Monday today gymmed with benji, aloy, ben tham, derrick and arthur... lol finally such a big group gymming together... how rare man... no la cos they got GEM in the morning and got free time after that to gym... played bowling with derrick and aloy after gym... oh my god aloy is so pro in bowling man... strike like dunno how many times... really cant tell he can bowl... lol... yup so we bathed and went to eat KFC at FC5 then chiong to class... was late so just sit in front copy notes like siao... after that was project meeting with my final year project group with kelvin ong, and yes, finally he decided to confirm us as one of his project group students... thats cool... so we can start work already... so many things to do man... it spreads throughout this year... i think after the current sec 4s step down from ncc, i also take a step back from ncc already... no motivation to carry on already... and yup, just completed my CWS assignment while flying, had to write some noob sales letter... i nose bleed twice today... once after i alighted from the MRT going home, and as i was going down the escalator... i felt something flowing out of my nose, i thought it was mucus so i breathed it back in, but then it didnt smell like mucus... i touched and found that its blood! I ran down the escalator, tapped my card and ran to the toilet to wash up... so embarrassing, i think people saw... second time was when i was watching tv just now, blood suddenly flowed down and drip on my shirt... i kena stunned and chiong to the toilet again... zzz... now i am wondering how am i to go school like this tmr... what if suddenly nose bleed and toilet always so far away... zzz... andrew says becos of bad weather... well maybe, but i also quite heaty these days, throat infection still shout at people... aiyo... okay i wanna sleep now... nights...

The worst thing that can happen to me in the morning happened... zzz... i always set 5 alarms to ring on my handphone just 1minute apart... but after the first alarm, i took the handphone and put it on my bed... so when the other 4 alarms go off, i just shut them off and slept and slept and slept... and yes, u guessed right, i overslept! i always put the phone on my table far away, such that i would wake up after shutting the alarm off, and would be reluctant to crawl back to bed... but this time i actually brought my phone to bed... well done... class start at 8... i woke up at 7.40, pro right? LOL... so i just chiong through my shower and cabbed to school... and wth, traffic jam... wah i tell u ar, the road network in the west is always so screwed... such that from my place to school, there's only 2 roads u can take thats all... and these roads have no detours... so when u are stuck, thats it you're a goner... so for me, train is still the fastest, yes faster than cab... but i happened to miss my feeder bus service so i cabbed... reached class at 8.30... what an achievement... lucky the lecturer nice guy... went through some intro about communication skills at work... quite young and friendly guy... wah then came organisational management, also just an intro... lunched at FC6, ben ho introduced a new card game to us to play called Saboteur, its some mining game... now the whole class is addicted to it lol we play everyday... really fun, go check it out... then came human factors lecture, interesting module but boring lecture... then mechanics lecture, oh my god its only the first lecture and the lecturer wayang and drama and smoke until i dont understand what he saying... sickening mechanics... gotta buck up... last lesson of the day, aircraft systems with roger chua... jovial and sarcastic guy... that 50 yr old man actually has gmail and a blog and facebook... how cool is that man... lol... so hip... i actually sent an ultimatum sms to my starhub boss who owes me $300 of my pay... and he fucking finally paid me, yes finally... well not his fault, its the company's processing so slow... its way overdue, supposed to get the full sum of 1.6k 9months ago... now it seems like i am getting my pay in instalments! dots... big company like starhub can actually take ages to pay their exhibition staff... yes now me and my boss fell out over the pay... but i dun care, cos i gave them plenty of time, 9 extra months to pay me and they keep dragging... went home for a nice evening nap, dinner and watch tv... wah heavenly... its only the first week of school, so still can live it up swimming, gymming, tanning, flying and rotting... very soon this lifestyle has to drop when more work kicks in...

2009-04-18T19:09:00.002+08:00

Oops I think I screwed something up this week... not supposed to say...

Well did I mention that my parents got cheated by a conman in Bangkok? I dont think so I mentioned... well it was the last morning in Bangkok, my parents went to check out the dried goods market in Bangkok, and since dried goods is not my type, so i just stayed in the hotel to swim... They donated money to a beggar... and I think its becos of that, a Singaporean conman followed them... he was like 70 plus... asked my parents in chinese "hey are you singaporeans? From the way you talk, u sound singaporean"... then said that he lost his wallet and have no money to go back to Singapore, and said that his wife is very sick and resting in the hotel.. then showed my parents his pink IC and passport... yes the IC and passport was authentic according to my parents... my dad took down the particulars... the man asked for S$86... which is 2000Baht... to take a train to Hat Yai in Southern Thailand and then take a coach back to Singapore... my dad was like thinking "wah this old man quite poor thing, so old like my father and cant go back to singapore"... so my dad agreed and gave him S$86, the man later asked for S$90 but my dad refused... the man thanked my parents and said when he return to Singapore, he will buy them dinner... well my thoughts? Firstly, not that i am trying to say my parents are dumb... but I am more streetsmart than them... A singaporean who has such problems is supposed to tell the hotel staff to contact the Singapore embassy in bangkok... and the embassy will loan money to them for them to return back to singapore... something was not right when he upped the price from $86 to $90... Secondly, I am very stingy, so i wont anyhow part with my money... but should i decide to be nice, i will make sure i follow the man to the train station in Bangkok and watch him buy his train ticket before I leave... well my parents didnt see it... so too bad... the man said it would take him 3 days to return, but he didnt contact my parents, he should still be in bangkok conning other singaporeans... so my dad made a police report, but the police like quite heck care and reluctant... so my dad wrote in to the ministry of home affairs to block that old man and arrest him should he cross any Singapore immigration in singapore... cool huh... now my dad's even planning to write in to straits times forum to say that neighbourhood police stations are ineffective and unhelpful... yup... cool huh... its not the $86 lost that matters, its the thought of that old man conning other singaporeans in bangkok that matters... cos 2000 Baht is a lot of money in Thailand...

It's the last week of holidays... and never done much... just relaxing at home since its the last week... went for IMT shooting on tuesday with sec 2 cadets... very long i never shout "SHUT UP!" at cadets already... lol and so i decided to bring that 2 magic words out for a nice show and they shut up immediately... muahaha... come in and make so much noise as if its like a games arcade... zzz... teach the cadets how to aim and stuff, scold those who cant hold the rifle and echo the commands... well thats the norm for IMT... friday went for a nice early morning swim and tanning... i think i got myself sunburnt... now itching and burning everywhere... then went for AP rehearsal in sji... was changing in the air room before going to watch the rehearsal... then jun an asked me "sir are you in canoeing?"... i answered "uh no, why?"... he said "huh then why u so dark???"... LOL the day i join canoeing for serious training would be the day the sun rise from the west man... well i did join SP canoeing for a month then i left haha... i prefer training leisurely... and not training under pressure for a sport... yup... ooo and my tanning has paid off lol... parade rehearsal was ok... drills still like crap but getting better... went home with the usual busybodies who asked and commented about *ahem*... now CLTs hard life... still need to attend "press conference" with cadets... lol...

I cant wait to go back to school... this 7 week holiday has been so boring... at least i will have something to do in school... and somebody is always so busy with all sorts of stuff, so of course boring for me la this holiday... right??? saturday night ops on vatsim starting soon, gotta go... see ya people...

And my damn reflection log is not yet completed...

PT was so pussy and the sec 2s cant take it... run one round and a bit of pushups only like want to die already, no choice had to shout at them... shout already still can walk and talk... what the hell... j tang go screw them please... compared to what i went through, training nowadays is like so pussified... weaklings... CLT claim forms are here again, yes miserable allowance for CLTs... i mean CLTs should have higher allowances for the shit we are getting nowadays man... though i'm not really bothered about the money... i come back cos i want to... CLTs nowadays still must entertain questions about GFs and still must entertain fan clubs etc... haiz what a sad life hor... and yet not appreciated... marvin's back and we were discussing about pcc-ing and he said he wanted to suck it... then he grabbed my balls... and used his floorball stick to fling at my crotch...

2009-03-19T20:27:00.003+08:00

Monday was just spent busy squabbling... *ahem*...

Tuesday...
Wah the morning was so shiok to sleep... dragged myself out of bed to go school for a run... then gym and jacuzzi at SPGG... getting used to gymming alone, i think its more productive... yup spent a whole afternoon there... went home for a nice dispute with patrick... well cant stand people who dictate what others should do or implement, when he is just sitting one side sucking thumb and supervise, without being on the ground to contribute... pissed off... its just a freaking NOOB way of doing things... and yet when people dont support him and follow his ideas, he will say that people are lazy to implement it... what a loser... go be hitler then... sinvacc forum became a disaster as a result of it...

Wednesday...
Semester results out! I improved quite ok... much better than last sem... but still sucky, so dun wanna say here... all i can say is, those modules that i have put effort into paid off... the other modules that i havent been focusing on of course was sucky... yup went out for a mini celebration lunch with my mum at pastamania... results still sucky, so cant expect much... and then cheryl came over for a chat... yes we needed to sort things out after the rather long cold war... and i think our problem is kinda solved... then she became hungry and we went out to macs for a munch... she was wearing something she thinks its unpresentable to go to macs... what the hell... so she just took my sji pe t-shirt and wear... yes a girl wearing an sji shirt... i felt so embarrassed... "JOSEPHIAN" on a girl... thats still equally unpresentable man... dots... but never mind thats besides the point... yup and thats about it... evening was a ex-classmates cum ex-partmates BBQ gathering... went to meet some of them at fairprice finest@bukit timah to buy food... then headed to edwin's place for a bbq... yup was a great gathering... just that the topic was mainly about BMT stuff... so it sort of interest me, but still catch no ball... verrell is still as fat as ever, yet insisting that he lost 15kg, just a bit darker than usual... jeremy slimmed down... well lots of changes in people who go through BMT... yup it was a wonderful and meaningful bbq... and chee if u r reading my blog now, help me thank your dad for cooking for us... forgot to do so last night... yup left edwin's place at like 11plus... cabbed home and reached home at midnight... bathed and watched my recorded dramas till 3.30... then went to sleep...

Thursday...
Wah slept through till like 12... so shiok... woke up chiong to clementi CC for badminton with XD, edwin and anand... yeah... i used to stay there... it felt so meaningful to go back there... shifted away from there when i was 8 years old... used to stay beside the CC where i walked through every day during my primary school days... had lunch at one of the coffee shops i used to eat as a 8 year old kid 10 years ago... yup really meaningful as i looked around, stalls changed, but food still great, the place upgraded and so on... yup arrived late at the CC cos of the lunch lol... no choice, i cant play without eating anything the whole morning... we played for almost 3 hours... my badminton damn rusty la... the last time i played was like ages ago... cos nobody ask me go play badminton for a long long time... haiz... felt so noob... but ok la, i think i was better than anand... AHAHA... yup after playing we dragged our feet to sunset way for ice cream at some ice cream cafe opposite godwin tong's house... eh tong hope u doing fine in USA man... come back run with me again haha... will wait... ice cream there was damn nice... tasted authentic especially the coconut flavour... lol... yup then bus-ed home... took off for beijing on FS... finally FS is working fine, used to crash to desktop... left it fling while i bathed and sleep and watch tv... dont forget the lyrics was interesting today... one man is so damn noob... he used 2 lifelines in his first song and the 3rd lifeline in his second song... end up go home with only $1k... and he claims he is in a band... so noob man, what a disgrace... the malay lady after that did so much better... haiz... act stylo but not stylo ar that man... disgrace to chinese men... lol alright i am getting too personal... oops...

1st april setting off for bangkok... but 30th and 31st march got camp feast!!! oh my god gonna be so damn tired after camp feast, and yet next day gotta wake up so early go airport... zzz... now my right hand is like so weak after the badminton... i was holding a cup of coke and my right hand was shaking like what the hell... now doing everything with my left hand cos it wasnt used... right hand is like paralysed lol... tmr gotta wake up early to go sji for aeromod... no officers to supervise, so i gotta go tmr... well akid say they gonna test planes, haha i shall be a test pilot tmr then... one thing i am damn amused with is, look at my blog count, and look at how dead my tagboard is... its just isnt proportional man... someone revive my tagboard leh... do CPR on it... haha... alright thats all folks...

2009-03-16T10:09:00.003+08:00

LOL Straits Times I think you fucking hit spot-on man... Your report is so real... i mean seriously... Most poly students indeed do not exercise regularly... i ask my poly frens to go gym, swim or run is like must kneel down and beg them to go like that... if not, must convince them until i feel so overwhelmed... Well its for your own good people, I dont benefit from you getting fit, except having companions thats all... Well its in today's paper, yes on the headlines... stupid straits times dunno how to save face for poly students... put in home section la, put headlines for what... so important meh... so embarrassing man, bad publicity for the polytechnics... Yup exercising is for our own good, no one else benefits from you exercising... only you benefit, i dont... i believe in exercising at least once or twice a week in order to keep up with the JC students, since they have PE every week and their PE is like so siong... so since we poly students do not have PE, all the more we need to have the discipline to exercise... And its because we dont have PE, thats why we become complacent... gymming is not about building muscles, if you do light gymming, its just like a simple workout... and these simple workouts will go a long way... Swimming is also a relaxing form of exercise... I was eating my breakfast till my eyes rolled up the table and saw the headlines, i was like "wah straits times finally you decided to address the issue, but no need on headlines what", yup then pangseh my mee siam and read the article... haha... yup the article says that 7 out of 10 poly students do not meet SAF fitness requirements in NS... yup...

Thursday I went to school to gym alone and went suntanning after that... didnt bother asking classmates along to gym cos I know what the excuses would be... its like such a wide range of excuses... amazing... so just gymmed alone... and suntanned... then went sji for training... wah by the time training started, i was like so tired already... scold people, knock people down... woo so fun... my bastard ways are back... lol a new sec 1 cadet said on facebook "You, sir, scare the living hell out of me"... AHAHAHA they dunno i am just acting lol... my sec 4 cadets this year would know it best... i sort of deceived them in the past as well... now showing my true colours... yup thursday was only sec 1 training... just checked on their drills then they went to play soccer, i didnt play... went to have my lunch instead... yes i didnt eat anything the whole day till like 4pm... thats why no energy... lol my cadets created a Lester Lee Fan Club on facebook... what the hell, very soon all the specs and clts will have a fan club... half of them already have haha... dunno if i should feel happy that i have a fan club... somehow rather embarrassing... its like so bu yao lian... yup went home with lee xun and slacked all the way... Friday was just spent at home being a couch potato thats all...

Saturday was also spent slacking... at night went dinner with my family at jumbo@clark quay for dinner... then chiong-ed home to control for the Saturday night ops on vatsim... Cross the pond event was on, but too bad, cant attend cos I had to control... yup... Well sunday nothing much... just quarreled with someone... Are you so busy that you cant spare some time for me? Might as well break then... haiz never mind shall not talk about this here... yup thats all folks...

2009-03-11T15:12:00.007+08:00

Last few days was good... brought my shoes out for my maid to wash...

Maid: Eh why your shoes got blood?
Me: Oh cos I killed someone...
Maid: Huh really???
Me: Of course not la... u think Singapore police like Filipino police is it, kill people still can stand here talk to you?

LOL...

Didnt realise my soles got blood also, thought its just the shoelaces... Yup have been slacking after company camp... cherry came over on sunday and seafood dinner-ed at long beach@IMM... monday i just spent it on flying and training controllers and stuff...

Last night went late night karaoke with the YFC folks... best bunch of people to go karaoke with cos everyone just creates the best high atmosphere for singing lol... short dinner at subway@far east before going to cash studio karaoke near hard rock cafe... yup its the most reasonable priced karaoke there is in town... usually we yfc people go kbox, except for once i went with terence to cash studio... yup and so we sang till like midnight and i caught the last bus home... reached home at like 1am... wonderful night... for the first time, we went out without drinking... wah if they drink ar, the way they drink, i dun think i am even alert enough to cross the road to catch the bus home... lol... yup we were innocent for once... Karaoke FTW!

My parents think they funny... just told me that they booked a holiday to bangkok from 1st to 4th april on SQ... yup so wont be in singapore during that time... hope its not an april fools joke... if that morning, they wake me up at 5am and tell me "yes its a joke", i gonna curse and swear... haha... i prefer way advance notice man... now i need to check if i got any ncc obligations during those days...

Yup i think i am gonna go swimming tmr morning before going training@sji... have been relaxing toooooo much... need to do smth man... alright folks, i gotta go for dinner... ciao... more pics on facebook...

2009-03-08T15:39:00.006+08:00

Thats how lame an MSN convo can get when 2 bored people are talking to each other HAHA... Second pic shows me blackmailing eugene lol... i'm WSSS_APP...

Yup i have been slacking since exams are over... Fundamentals of Flight exam, yes the last paper, was fine... just that i screwed up a few questions thats all... just went blank... but should be able to score... gymmed after last paper... yes rather no life, but no choice... have not been gymming, nor swimming, nor tanning... zzz... sad...

Hanged out with cheryl on some days after her classes... no need to describe too much about that... cos some people very kaypo... *ahem*... and yes met eugene lee, not the ncc one, the vatsim one that i always kaopei lol... for the 1st time... yup with marcus... at T1 to control together... yes I am very bored nowadays... that i actually bothered to go airport to control with them... yes the atmosphere there is perfect for such activities lol...

Company camp is over... Pics are on facebook... 149 pics to upload, so I shall not upload on my blog... check them out on facebook after evening... uploading now... 1st day was quite uneventful... nightwalk was fun walking at the back with mel ho and some specs and the CLTs... nightwalk is a nice excuse for a run haha... cadets walk so slow, that the back gotta run after them after they decided to walk faster... zzz... those 2 benson and terence came back to stayover lol... still too engaged in squabbling as usual... congrats to ben who got company best and company best PT in BMT... sure to go OCS... so good luck... yup we slept so late after the debrief... i was like half asleep throughout the night... was only truly asleep for like 1hour only... the CLTs all overslept la... slept through PT time haha... yup woke up for breakfast... and after breakfast, i freaking felt like a kid... played all the kiddy games during telematch... lol piggyback cadets, hop from chair to chair, played captain's ball lol... GG... yes those retarded pics will be on facebook... went to play soccer with some of the specs and the CLTs in the afternoon... saw the bomb squad and the police K-9 unit parked in sji carpark... then realised lee kuan yew is coming to the CC opposite in the evening for some citizenship presentation... lol so cool... then went for a nap... this was a nap I wished would not have taken place... it was a nap that made me so drowsy during an emergency... a pity...

30 minutes later... few specs came running into the ops room... one shouted "Sir! Cadet bleeding!"... the other shouted "Sir! Cadet fainted!"... i just woke up and wondered "huh so its fainted or bleeding?"... then i was like "oh shit! so its fainted and bleeding????"... i just rushed out half asleep... saw the cadet lying on the floor... i didnt notice the many big drops of blood and a small puddle of blood on the floor till i carried him up... so i just grabbed him by his tummy and lifted him up... i wanted to carry him to the toilet to wash up and wake him up with water... then i saw so much blood dripping down on my hand and legs... and realised no point bringing him to toilet... so i just laid him down on the window ledge and shouted for tissue... those dumb specs just stood by and watched... what the hell... then john lau came running with the first aid box and terence came running with his hankerchief to press on the wound... yes the cadet was so badly injured that i could see the skull on his forehead... blood coming out non stop... he must have hit something real sharp on his forehead after falling forward when he fainted... yup terence pressed on his forehead while i used cotton gauze to clean him up... took some water to clean up the dried blood on his face... his shirt stained with blood... the back of my palm with so much dried blood... teachers came down to take over... lucky CO was from SJAB lol... akid called the ambulance and the ambulance came and took over... yes what a disaster during the company camp... it was a rather traumatising experience for me as I never handled such an emergency before through my years as a CLT, handled 2 heatstrokes before and thats it... though I was trained in first aid during CLT course, but such things are forgotten during an emergency... zzz... overall, it was handled really well... and though I have washed all the blood stains away on my body, I cant stop imagining that there's still blood on my hands and legs even after I bathed... seems like I need a few days for my mind to go back on track... yes i admit i am scared of blood, but I was surprised that I didnt even bother about the blood when I attended to him, and I was thankful that I managed to put down my fear... And i hope that the cadet will get well soon... For a sec 1 cadet attending his first company camp, it must have been a very negative experience for him... And all specs from now on, must take extra notice of cadets and force them to drink water... and pull out any cadets who happen to be swaying in all directions during drills... yup... its a good learning experience for all involved and it should not happen again...

Parents seminar ended rather fast, so did the dismissal parade... dinner with terence, lee xun and nicky fung at tanglin CC... lee kuan yew was there but never see him... security so tight... went home with nicky... unpacked my things and chiong to control cos i was on duty on Singapore Radar last night for the Saturday event... closed on time and went to bed... wow what an amazing 2 days!

2009-02-24T23:01:00.004+08:00

Alright people I'm back to blogging!!!

Sry man have been mugging and controlling and flying... no time for blogging... well lets make this short... well papers began last tuesday... last tuesday was engineering maths, it was screwed, i just bullshit my way through it... and bullshitting your way through maths is never easy lol... but should be fine... cos did well in other components as well... friday was aircraft structures and repair... went quite well, except that i screwed up one question... mixed up chromating with cadmium plating arrrgh! nvm ACC should do well also, other components of the module also went smoothly... today was materials, went quite smoothly... fuck man i studied the whole stack of notes when i only needed to study like half of it? cos so many things taken out from the exam and i dunno... zzz... those extra things i studied just wasted like 1GB in my brain la... forgot certain things becos of that... haiz...

Past one week or so have been spent controlling and flying at home while studying and studying through the night to compensate for my distraction on the computer... yup what i did was set myself a target daily, such as complete 3 chapters in a day, so if i spent too much time playing, i gotta mug through the night just to achieve my target... yup so far i have been successful in mugging overnight till like 3 or 4am... cos i was just plain distracted in the day... and a few times went out to Starbucks@Bukit Panjang Plaza with cherry to mug... cherry's having common tests too... lol cherry dots... fine cheryl... cherry sounds sweeter... oops... and the starbucks there is like one of the best places i know to study? atmosphere is just good... but in the afternoons a lot of distractions la *ahem*... but someone doesnt allow me to look at those distractions anyway *ahem*... so too bad... and oh my god it has been ages since i had lunch with my mum and grandma on weekdays haha... imagine a teenager going lunch with the older folks... lol meaningful but disastrous... nowadays can lunch with them cos no school haha... yup... god bless me lol... both are equally naggy... my grandma says the same thing everytime we meet "study hard ar... get lots of As for me to see ar"... then i just always say "if As so easy to get, i get many As liao lo"... zzz...

And i feel very guilty to say that i have bought my first 4D since i turned 18... yes i started buying last weekend, or rather few days ago... but i only buy $1 per day per weekend la... so $2 per week lor... cheap cheap la... and i only buy one number... thats 5523... cos thats in my handphone number... yup didnt strike... if 4D so easy to strike, then not call 4D already la lol... it would be called ED already... ED for "Easy Dio!"... lol... after exams, i gonna fucking enjoy... cos i would be having 7 weeks break... and yes, focus on NCC and singapore vacc too... getting my C1 rating this saturday so that i can control Singapore Radar position on vatsim... yup its the highest position in Singapore airspace... and i will re-commit myself in NCC... my RC plane is almost fixed... gonna fly it this saturday... went back to HQ last wednesday to fix it... still got a bit more to do... so gonna involve myself more in HQ and the unit... i am quite sure that the talk with jude tan and CO this friday will be a positive one... so i am prepared to go back soon! yay!

And one more thing i will do is shoot 2 complain letters once my exams are over... one complaint email will be shot over to St. Anthony's Primary School... yes my primary school... i am so gonna complain about their students' behaviour on the public bus... they enter the bus through the exit without tapping their cards, run over people's foot... yes they ran over my toe... well done... i am damn pissed... and they fucking scream and make lots of noises in the bus and talk so loud as if the bus doesnt have a roof and walls... my primary school so what? still must shoot becos i still care about them... if i dun care, i wouldnt even bother about their behaviour... and another email will be shot over to vatsim management over one of their supervisors broadcasting nonsense over the network which was unprofessional... yup 2 emails to shoot after exams... and it seems to be that my last visit back to sji, the specs are starting to slack... gonna shoot them already when i am back... i wont mention names here... yup one more paper on friday... fundamentals of flight... wish me luck! cya!

C: Dont teach me unnecessary things leh, or u will blow up my mind...
Me: No la... you blow my mind...
C: =.=

LOL... nvm... lame...

Hello people once again...

Thursday...
Early morning went to school to mug ED with the rest... i swear i cant understand ED for nuts man... went for the test only half understood... zzz i think i sort of screwed up ED... haiz... lunched then me and andrew went home... attempted to study for CAMM but dun understand most of it... so gave up, anyway its open book test... yup then got distracted as usual... my home is not a place to study man... just full of distractions... aiyo...

Friday...
CAMM test in the morning... i was like half blur... open book test also anyhow refer... such modules like CAMM and ED are totally boring to the core... zzz... damn sian... yup then came ACC tutorial... did our ACC presentation... went quite smooth except for that freaking lame mr gopal... that indian gay... kept cutting me in when i was talking... every few points i made, he cut in once... cant he freaking wait till the end of the presentation??? he wasnt asking questions, he was just making comments to add on to my points... but cant you wait??? add points only what big deal??? cannot wait??? its like i have to pause a while after 2 or 3 points for him to cut in... sort of able to tell when he wanna cut in... zzz pissed off... andrew and lx lucky, the gopal havent come in when they were presenting... so only me and ben ho kena... pissed off... i realised i was speaking like a bloody politician... my actions and my tone... just when i was concluding lol... but who cares... then the other group presented and the gopal shoot non stop again zzz... after ACC, i cabbed to HQ, andrew shared cab with me to go home... ya showered then wtf sji reach so early for once... changed and chiong down yup with the other clt ivan... the new guy... then another new guy su hao came... cleared their rifles and other admin stuff then started trainfire at MPH... zzz jp came so late... i was manning the IA station with that nicky... well i chose IA cos its one of the stations that doesnt need to have people there all the time... just teach the IA procedures for 5mins then leave it to the specs to run the practice session so that i can walk around to check on the other clts at other stations... yup thats why i chose IA... so can walk around... yup then hitched a ride from mel ho out to yio chu kang and went home with jp and nicky... zzz both of them kept trying to force out an answer from me regarding cheryl's school... from yio chu kang to choa chu kang... lol i just kept quiet... then i told jp in the end... i suppose he wont tell anyone... right? that andrew lim just one day after i told him cheryl's surname, nicky already know... moral of the story: never share secrets with specs... fullstop... and yup thats about it... so disappointing, today never scold much... temper sort of improving nowadays thanks to somebody... on the other hand, those specs whom i trained when i was still temperamental, temper getting from bad to worse lol... how ironic...

Saturday... Valentine's Day...
Went to HQ early morning again with my e-starter plane to get it fixed with rusydi's help... lol quite a number of clts there... riley and the trainfire clts were there... yup cant finish fixing in time and rusydi had to leave early... so yup i left too... went to new york new york AMK hub after that to meet cheryl for our valentines' day lunch... then walked around and she came my place... then dinner out with my family at turf city... yup thats about it for valentines' day... quite boring though... its the weekly event again on vatsim but i was not on duty, so just watched... then suddenly lack of controllers, so i stood in on Singapore Ground yup and let jonathan practise on my frequency... yes thats about it...

Sunday...
Sunday is always a day for flying for me... lol... attempted to mug maths but cant seem to do it... distraction is the key... and yup just flew a lot today with rayner... watched tv and watched movies on the net... thats about it for today... lester = slacker...

And I am booked for a trip to Hong Kong/Guangzhou from 6 June to 20 June on Cathay Pacific... with my grandparents... which means no project meetings during that time hor... my grandpa already 81 yrs old and so he thought he should bring me the eldest grandson back to his hometown for me to understand my roots... yup this should be his last trip back to his hometown... not that i am cursing him or what, but just face the facts he's already 81... yup this trip is supposed to be an emo 2 weeks trip... so dun be surprised if i come back emo haha... and spec course is from 16 to 19 june... which means i do not have the obligation to go spec course and do magic... yay! And yes, mr mok miraculously called me during trainfire to go back next friday for a chat with him... dunno what its regarding or whether its good news... shall not be too hopeful for now... hope to return to the unit asap... standard is like crap and the specs claim that they are aware of it... well no comments...

2009-02-11T23:29:00.009+08:00

year the unit has active clts till someone had to chase us away... yes just someone... this
year you may not see such things again... the 4 of us were very close, just that me and
benson always engaged in childish bickering... but trust me we enjoyed the bickering... now

Saturday...
Dunno if i should be mentioning this here but i went to watch the sji cadets fly at HQ... i flew a while... yup my skills suck nowadays... or rather the wind was strong... used to be able to fly till battery timer cut... that would be 4minutes... now i got probs handling the wind... haiz...rusty liao... had to wait for someone to leave HQ first before i can go show face... somehow my life getting so sad nowadays... getting silenced to the maximum until cannot even breathe... even wanted to remove me from the unit's forum or stop me from speaking at the sji ncc sharing session... actually i should take it as a compliment because someone sees me as a threat, someone sees me influential enough to be a threat thats why... too bad, so gotta silence me until i cannot threaten his leadership... i wont say who, in case that someone wants to sue me... its just someone... i shall take things in its stride... yup lunched at AMK macs after flying, with mr ho and some of the specs... and come to think of it, its my first "outing" with the SMs haha... yup so went home with nicky the fungi LOL... and yes lots of work to be done, so cant go dating... anyway next week's valentine's day... went to continue my report while i flew... night time was the weekly vatsim event again... was on Singapore Approach... closed at 1am then went to sleep lol... well let me say something random here... its rather amusing to see how SAF officers behave... that day i was in the train with a 2LT beside me sleeping banging his head into me... he was sleeping so soundly man... then suddenly came his stop... he heard it, woke up, stood up and walked straight out of the door in a second like a robot... i was like wtf thats damn fast and alert... its as if he wasnt sleeping at all... well u wont know what i am talking till u see... its like a freaking zombie waking up suddenly and walking straight out of the MRT like nothing happened... lol i suppose officers are trained to be alert all the time... awesome people... u may think its no big deal till u see it...

Sunday...
Was too busy to go out... so darling came over... was controlling almost the whole day... she did her work, i did mine... went out to west mall for a short walk and lunch before coming back to resume my work and controlling... almost completed my report but lost motivation till darling went home then got motivation lol oops... haha... yup i chiong report all the way and slept at 4am but still havent finish!!! still had referencing and inserting pictures to do... so just went to sleep la... no choice... mum would kill me if she woke up at 5am and see me still awake... she would just say "why you always do last minute work??? now what time already??? still dun want sleep???"... typical mothers... can always predict what they would say...

Monday...
Supposed to wake up at 7 to meet my final year project group (xav, jeremy, lx, andrew) for a meeting at 8... but typical lester, forever oversleep and forever shutting his alarm clock up... so late lor... slept only 2 hours... but can take it... and SMRT had to make things worse at jurong east... i was there waiting for a train... train came, but too full for me to get in... and then the train broke down at the platform, i think the door couldnt close, and so everyone inside were told to alight when the platform was already like freaking crowded... people coming up the escalators had no place to stand, yes thats how bad it is at jurong east everyday... and because the train delayed at the platform for so long and sickening singaporeans on the platform dun want to give way to those stuck in the train... so the passengers took like forever to get out, and the train took forever to move off... causing a backlog of trains waiting to come in behind... wtf... was delayed for 15mins there... yup reached only at like 8.30... somehow singapore transport standards dropping... service like crap still wanna charge poly students adult fares... be reasonable leh SMRT... yup... my group is planning to do an unmanned aerial vehicle that can submerge in water at about 2feet... and yet can takeoff on the water surface... yup thats our plan... hope we can win the bid for the project... wish us luck... got our drawing done... tmr going to the hobby shop to get advice and quotations... then can do proposal... today only got one lesson... FOF tutorial... it was so slack that there wasnt anything to do... people just asked questions and we were dismissed... lecturer shared about the ugly sides of the engineering industry and its politics lol interesting... yup skipped maths lecture... went home to fly morocco-dubai... slept till evening... woke up eat then complete my report... yes it is finally done... it has 32 pages, 7571 words... that took me ages to complete... and i am damn satisfied now that its done, its like a burden off my shoulders... now can focus on exams next week... and 2 tests this week aiyo... ED and CAMM... sian... yup submitted my report to towming and to the RWP anti-plaguerism software to detect plaguerism in my report... its rather cool man the way it works... the software compares my report with all text on the internet and other related reports across all institutions and also other classmates' work... yup so no way to escape if you copy others... thats why i didnt bother to copy lol... or my grades will be like shit... yup just landed and i am off to bed...

I'll hold you in my arms, and say once again i love you...

"I am the bee, you are the flower. Can I poke you?" LOL.

Niagara Falls! I miss that place... was there about a yr and a half ago for the international air cadet exchange in canada... nice place man... biggest natural waterfall on earth and one of the seven wonders... and the last 2 pics are those of my flight from new york back to hong kong heading towards the north pole... suddenly remembered about the niagara falls when flying over canada... still remember how me and tong got so wet there thanks to the mist from the waterfall while we were on the "maid of the mist" boat tour... it was a beautiful sight and experience, and it shall always be that way in my mind...

Friday was sort of lame... CAMM lecture was once again retarded, i just played with ben ho's laptop and slept a while... we decided to skip ACC practical cos towming would just give us free time to study again... might as well dun go since we wont be learning anything... and so we embarked on a road trip in eugene's car again LOL... its darn lame... we wanted to go clementi initially... and so we left the school after making BRRRROOOMMMMMM-ing noises along the way out and people stared... parked at clementi, left the carpark... then suddenly dunno who suggested "eh dun eat at clementi la, eat somewhere else"... LOL we already left the carpark la... then we just stood there and discuss where to eat... some say thomson i say jurong east... lol then eugene suggested going to old airport road food centre... and thats in paya lebar area by the way... and so we zoomed from clementi to the east... yes journey to the east via the city lol... great road trip... the lor mee at old airport road was famous and so we ate that and then zoom back to school ahahaha... what a waste of petrol... somehow eugene's car quite comfy, so the journey was fun... lol... i left school to go home, some of them have GEM lessons... reached home at like 12noon... my mum was like "wah so early today"... i wanted to say "ya so early that i could go to old airport road for breakfast after class and yet reach home at 12noon"... but didnt la, cos she would question why class end at 10 and stuff... cant be bothered... slept a while then went out to causeway point to meet cheryl for a late lunch, wanted to watch movie but couldnt decide what to watch and all the timing so odd... so didnt watch zzz... another time perhaps... came to my place to slack then we went out with my parents for dinner... and thats about it...

Wah I swear that alan tham is more slack than me... he cancelled the materials tutorial this morning when everyone was there at 8.30 zzz... should tell us cancel earlier la then i can sleep longer... that guy is a slacker la... cancel dunno how many lectures and tutorials already... lecturer feedback he sure kena from me zzz... but i somehow pity him la, he tries hard to get our attention but cant get everyone to listen in his lecture... i mean i rather pity him la, not sarcastic... imagine teaching a boring module like materials and yet cant get everyone to listen... that deserves some of my sympathy... yup so we had breakfast and cards at FC4 before going to ACC lecture... it was rather dry though... the topics nowadays a bit sian... towming today first time shouted at us to keep quiet... must be learn from lx and the malay guy from the other class... ahahaha well done towming! FOF lecture was cancelled... so eugene drove us (me, lx, jeremy, xav and andrew) out to clementi central for lunch haha... and yes eugene drove today cos he woke up late! woohoo! We went on a road trip around SP... eugene recently modified his car to give that freaking loud brrrrrrroooooooommmmm sound when he accelerates... and so we drove around the school playing with that and accelerating whenever we pass a group of girls or guys haha and then everyone would stare at us... its really fun... ahaha attracting attention this way somehow gives people like us the kick man... up slope down slope all the way around the school and then we finally went out to the main road and headed to clementi haha damn noisy la... and then we did the same nonsense when we came back... went up the hill to business school and then accelerating there ahahaha shiok... aiya eugene too scared already la, could have played even more up the hill... LOL... BRRROOOOOMMMMM!!! yup thats an interior pic of eugene's lancer along clementi up there... came back to school for CAMM practical... it was short and sweet... just doing some measurements of some 3D models with andrew thats all... then went to causeway point to meet cheryl to eat and shop around while the rest went to bugis... yup walked around till evening then went home for dinner and tv... now doing some controlling on vatsim with darren and siddiq... traffic is good tonight... yup thats about it...

When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

Saturday...
Woke up early morning to go to HQ NCC for air general meeting... wah lucky i decided to change to a non-camera phone man... the guards damn strict about camera phones nowadays... but luckily PSP is allowed haha... damn weird man, the guards contradict each other... the one at the gate ask me surrender my PSP... then the one at the office tell me no need... then ok lor i just went ahead... let them settle themselves, i just have to blame the one at the office if i am caught with it... meeting was about admin stuff and upcoming events and aeromodelling sort of stuff... mainly to brief the new clts... lol glad that the 3 of them came... then signed up for ADC... lunched with the clts at ang mo kio after the meeting... then i went home for my Singapore Approach training with alfred... and i finally got my Approach rating!!! yay... it feels good logging in for the first time on vatsim as Singapore Approach.. basically what Singapore Approach does is give directions or vectors in terms of speed, altitude and heading for all flights below 15,000 feet, either to final approach to the runway arrivals or departures to the exit waypoint in the terminal control area... yup its fun... and evening was reunion dinner... yes my father's side always like to celebrate one week in advance cos its easier to book a restaurant that way... its at some seafood restaurant at the japanese garden... yup it was awesome... came back rather late... was supposed to be on Singapore Approach for the weekly event on vatsim... so javier covered me... thanks jav... traffic level was rather low, but challenging enough for me... cos the job of an approach controller isnt easy... gotta manage the altitude, heading and speed of all flights in my airspace... yup we closed the event early cos no traffic and i went to bed...

Sunday...
Morning went to meet that ben sky lee at jurong east mrt to pass him something... *ahem*... then went back to gombak to wait for cheryl then breakfast at gombak macs... then went to my house to slack... parents not at home anyway so can havoc... lol... yup went swimming soon after... i was suntanning for almost 2hrs haha... perfect sun for a perfect afternoon... i love my new tan... tmr gotta gym man... then i went swimming for a while... lunched at west mall... then cheryl went off while i went home to do some work and doing some controlling on vatsim at the same time... gotta rush my ACC essay and lab report man... its still undone haiz... dunno where to get info from... someone help me leh... aiyo our class is like stuck on this essay la zzz... so many things to do... just realised i have been rather enthu on vatsim after getting my approach rating haha... hope i still get my work done man... yup thats all folks...

2009-01-16T23:55:00.004+08:00

Today is so WTF... i actually woke up damn early but i did something so shiok in the toilet that i forgot about the time... then rushed to school... reached there like 8.35... WTF... anyway its CAMM thus it sucks... so why bother... at least i got my attendance... i just surfed the net reading news and forums while that sung ying was just blabbing away... then breakfast at fc4 followed by ACC pract... towming gave us self study time... we were playing dota and talking cock and surfing net instead muahahaha... towming just nagged and nagged that we were supposed to be studying... until we decided to give him face and pretend to do some work... lunchtime and cards time at FC6... then went back to FC4 to mug engineering maths... oh my god i totally catch no ball at first... but later got the hang of it... thanks to everyone who helped and explained to me stuff in my last minute revision such as ben ho, derrick and lx... i think i grasped whatever i needed to know... but i just slipped in a piece of paper of an example of a solution just in case i forget how to do... yup didnt really get to use it though... depended on myself instead... we were like whispering and discussing during the test la haha... its in a lecture hall where alternate seats have different paper... so if u wanna discuss, only the person 2 seats away and the person directly behind will have the same paper as u... it is a challenge to cheat, so u need the guy diagonally behind u or the guy beside u to help haha... cos its impossible to turn ur head 180 degrees and ask the guy just directly behind u or pop ur head in front and look at the guy 2 seats away... LOL... yup so thanks derrick for helping... muahaha... yup quite confident about the test though many of us got different answers, i hope our solutions are the same to get our method marks... yup went to west mall after the test to buy a hamster ball from pet lovers centre... then chiong home put my hamster in the ball and watch him run in the ball and the ball rolled all over the place... banging into doors and cupboards and shoe racks and tables and chairs and stuff... it was darn noisy, i wonder if my hamster is cock-eyed LOL... stop banging man hamster... its darn cute la, imagine a ball automatically rolling everywhere without batteries haha... my mum and dad and maid first saw the ball rolling from far, they were like stunned "is that a new toy???"... then they walked closer, saw the hamster in it then laughed like mad... then i just gave my sarcastic laugh with them haha... made them feel like they very sua ku HAHA... its damn cute can that ball... i tmr take photo and post here... watched tv then the ball had to roll into my room and bang everywhere... zzz disturbing me watching tv... then dinner with mum and dad at jurong east... then came home to play viwawa... and now i gotta sleep man... tmr got to go HQ NCC for NCC Air general meeting at 9... hope those 3 new ones attend as well... haiz... so sian gotta wake up so early again...

2009-01-15T23:24:00.004+08:00

What a tired day man... Maths lecture was spent chit chatting and playing psp lol... breakfast at fc4 with eugene and arthur then materials lecture... another slacking lecture, was like listening to music... then came engineering design, another chit chat session haha... we didnt even do our tutorial... more like wait for teacher to give us the solutions... lunch we had takeaway from fc6 cos there no seats... woohoo then came the most exciting part of the day... it was ACC lecture... at about the start of the lesson, we were all very noisy... until a malay guy from the other class shouted "EH PEOPLE SHUT UP LAH!!!"... it was darn rude and he gave that freaking kaopei face... our class wasnt too happy with him... then towards the end of the lesson, everyone became noisy again... then here's the fun part... li xuan from my class shouted "EH PEOPLE SHUT UP LAH!!! NEED A SECOND PERSON TO TELL YOU ALL TO SHUT UP IS IT????!!!!"... the people from the other class of course became very pissed with li xuan and stared at him... then li xuan shouted "YOU ALL STARE WHAT STARE???!! YOUR CLASS CAN SHOUT, I CANNOT SHOUT IS IT???!!!"... lol then everyone kept quiet... but the tension between both classes was there... damn scary... but li xuan thanks for standing up for our class! People from both classes exchanged stares... of course i stared at that asshole from the other class who shouted at us first la... he stared back at me so be it... people who ask others to shut up usually do that because they wanna pay attention... but after that asshole asked us to shut up, he spent his whole lesson daydreaming and staring at us instead... if you dont intend to pay attention, then why shout at others to shut up in the first place??? Stupid right? After the lecture, people from the other class stared at us then left the room and waited outside, as if waiting for li xuan to go out and fight... i went out to toilet they also stare at me... lucky eugene went to toilet after me then i felt safe... crazy people... but my class is more civilised than them of course... we wont fight... thats the biggest hoohaa for the day... then came maths tutorial... me and lixuan did sample test papers to prepare for tmr's maths test... didnt complete... plan to complete tmr then go maths test... went home to play bridge on viwawa then watch tv all the way... and play viwawa again... haha viwawa is soon gonna be my new hobby... LOL... wish me luck for my engineering maths test tmr!

I miss SJI NCC Air... how ar... you tell me how leh... tell me how hor... remember hor...

2009-01-14T21:26:00.004+08:00

Today's RWP test... i woke up on time actually, but i had a freaking pain stomachache... spent like 20mins in the toilet... its like i am in great pain but the shit just cant come out that kind of feeling.. not sure if u experience before... i just rushed through my shower, didnt even had time to style my hair... went to school with a "bird's nest" on my head... grabbed my gym stuff and protein then zoomed down to catch a cab... but catching a cab also can vomit blood... ended up calling a cab then that cab took so long to come... 5 empty cabs zoomed past me after i called but no choice zzz... well its a test i am rushing for, so a cab is a necessity thanks to the stomachache... i arrived about 15 to 20mins late... but thank god i finished on time... rushed through my conclusion though... think i did ok, but more details could have been added into my report... lunched with arthur, derrick and eugene at FC4 then me and eugene went to gym and swim... today was a shorter session cos too crowded... wah damn long never gym liao... 6 days... haiz... yes thats damn long... then we went to swim and jacuzzi then i went to a dialogue session... the permanent secretary of the ministry of national development came to SP to attend a dialogue session with us to address our doubts about government policies... found my GEM people and sat with them... that Mr Tan Tee How came... i was expecting a "please rise for the arrival of the guest of honour" followed by the national anthem HAHAHA... thank god they did without the national anthem... he started with a propaganda video about how singapore developed over the years, with the song "We Are Singapore" playing in the background... then came the dialogue session... many people asked questions but i just kept quiet... then he ended with another video about the classic and unique things about our locals that make us so special as Singaporeans... the song was funny, it was specially composed for the video... for once after so long, i actually felt touched and set me thinking about my role as a Singaporean after watching national education videos... i thought i was already immuned to it... but today's session and 2 videos really moved me... honest! if you were there, u would probably feel the same as me... need to upgrade my immunity soon... lol... those videos just touched that touchy nerve of mine thats all... kind of set me in a reflective mood... yup then went home to watch tv all the way... found this really nice cheena song on a tv commercial... lol so many fake singers for it, me and andrew had to figure out which was the original singer haha... and we now have the original singer! yay! my hong kong-new york flight is still in cruise... tmr is a long day man, gotta rest early tonight... hope no more stomachache tmr... yup thats about it!

2009-01-13T20:30:00.004+08:00

Haha today's arthur's birthday and this is his birthday gift from us... video taken from my phone... Well I'm the "commentator"... with lx, andrew, jeremy and xavier doing the show lol... this is a real thing, and it indeed hurts... imagine banging ur dick against the pointed part of the pillar and then sliding up and down... OUCH! Cant imagine... LOL... our class is getting too pro at such things... You may not be able to watch this in mozilla firefox...

Monday...
Finally a monday without gym... the 3 of them were not available so i didnt go... lunched with my mum and grandma at bukit batok central... i quarreled with the ban mian stall auntie... she's a bitch man... i felt cheated... i ordered chicken ban mian, and the picture showed 4 big pieces of chicken... but end up my chicken was diced... as in many small small pieces... i thought she cooked wrongly, so i asked her whether that was shredded chicken ban mian, cos i ordered chicken ban mian... there was shredded chicken ban mian on the menu as well... she shot me and say in chinese "this is not shredded chicken la, if its shredded chicken i wont have to take so long to cook, does this look like shredded chicken to you???"... i couldnt take it anymore... i just shot back in chinese though there were other customers around "your chicken so small pieces, how i know whether this is chicken ban mian or shredded chicken ban mian... like that you might as well call it shredded chicken ban mian la... dont believe you come out of your stall and see how BIG your chicken appears on your menu!!!"... Pissed... I just walked away after saying that... stupid china woman... not that i wanna say anything bad about china people... i can safely say 80% of them are indecent and dishonest and greedy... only 20% are decent... dunno why singapore importing so many of such people nowadays... what foreign talent??? Foreign conmen and conwomen you mean... i felt so cheated, shall not eat from that stall again... And so i went to school for fof lecture and pract... was short and sweet... pract we did some aerofoil testing in a wind tunnel... then came mass lectures... it was so boring that i was playing dj max on my psp... and so went home to fly with patrick guangzhou-singapore, after doing nanjing-hong kong myself... yup thats about it... tv nowadays is boring, nothing much to see... haiz...

Today...
Materials pract at 8.30... did some analysing of metals on a microscope using some lame programme... lol we were the fastest group, was done damn early... so breakfast at FC4... then ACC lecture... ACC is getting dry man... haiz... was not hungry so we stayed in class to play cards then fof lecture... CAMM pract me and andrew did some measurements of the angle of a tapered object... thought it was supposed to be short, but it did take quite some time... eugene needed me to teach him RWP cos test tmr... so i just stayed back to help him and explain to him how to do and stuff... yup tmr we have to do a short report as part of the test... structuring and language in the report must be there... quite a lame test though... its like back to essay writing in secondary school haha... yup late lunch with eugene at FC6 then went home to take a nap... now leaving my hong kong-new york flight cruising... LOL cant stop laughing at that video of arthur... crap i am feeling sadistic... haha its like damn hilarious... yup thats about it... good luck to me for my test!

Saturday...
Was supposed to go to HQ NCC early in the morning to get my RC plane fixed and also to take a look at sji aeromodelling training... but camp was closed cos there was some military exercise there so cant go... dunno if sji went though... lucky rusydi informed me beforehand... lol... so i just slept through the morning... went to town in the afternoon to meet cheryl for a rather late lunch at plaza sing then shopped around and watched movie... Seven Pounds is damn lame... pls dun watch... the plot or storyline is screwed... should have watched ponyo ponyo LOL... dunno why nowadays people msn nick always put "ponyo ponyo!"... *ahem*... sounds kiddy... then i went to meet my parents at IMM for dinner at ajisen ramen... had that sucky hokkaido scallops ramen... should have just eaten volcano ramen la... the last time i ate volcano was so shiok and spicy but i only felt the spice in my tummy like hours after... the feeling was interesting... yup this time was scallops ramen... plain and sucky... yup after dinner walked around went to cyberactive to get a mini DVD for my sony handycam... and as usual, something in my wallet triggered the theft alarm... in case u guys dunno, my wallet, or rather something in my wallet, has been triggering 8 out of 10 theft alarms i have been walking through... my parents didnt believe, they thought i was talking cock... but they finally saw it happen at cyberactive... i walked in then alarm sounded, i stepped back, then the cashier offered to deactivate my wallet for me so i can walk into the shop freely in future and it worked! Yup and so i got my mini DVD and put it in my sony handycam for filming at discovery centre the next day for our GEM assignment... its the weekly event on vatsim again! Singapore controllers were online on vatsim to man singapore's airspace... i was on Singapore Ground... air traffic was pathetic... switched to Singapore Tower after romano left, and manned till about 1am before going to sleep...

Today...
Wah early morning rush to Boon Lay to meet my GEM group to catch a bus to Singapore Discovery Centre... took out my handycam and started narrating as we toured the place... we watched some propaganda movie about singapore's future in the iWerks theatre first then went on a tour of the place... was done in like 1hr plus... played almost all of the stations... discovery centre is damn fun actually... lots of things to play... and yet those games are educational and u wont realise that u are being brainwashed while playing them... thats the wonder of our government LOL... for me, i am immune to brainwashing thanks to ncc... we went into this big dome and played some designing game, embedded in the floor of the dome is a very big mic... u can say anything and stomp on it and everyone in the dome can hear you... amazing... yup we basically played more than learning... well we were told to film ourselves doing something and we did... objectives were met... we learn things while playing haha... justified... and today we met a freaking rude woman bus driver zzz... my ez-link card had no money and so had to use coins to go back to boon lay... i paid 90 cents, which was actually the correct amount... distance was so short... that driver said "EH how much u pay?!"... i answered "90 cents"... she replied "$1.20 PLEASE!"... i swear that "please" didnt sound pleasing... i ran out of coins and weisheng had to donate to me lol... i only had notes zzz... yup then i went home for lunch and to slack... oh my god taking a nap was so shiok, i needed that break... departed from auckland to singapore with patrick, that new zealand accent by Auckland Approach was truly unreadable... its the worst english accent i have ever heard... worse than the deep australian accent... and that cheryl came to my place say wanna come here slack and do homework, end up sleeping at my place instead zzz... AND NO, WE DIDNT SLEEP TOGETHER... so i completed her work for her while she slept... quite funny how i refuse to do my work and yet do others' work... haha... then dinner with her and my parents at clementi... that famous claypot rice... it was awesome... they deserve their publicity... yup thats about it... came back to watch little nonya's 5min extra showtime and then landed my plane in singapore... it was a 10h 15min flight lol... and today weiyang approached me and asked me about the job of an air traffic controller... described to him in detail the structure, duties and pay... well if he were to become an air traffic controller here, i cant imagine how our Singapore airspace would be like... LOL its a stressful job for truly serious and responsible people... its as important as a pilot man... thousands of lives in your airspace is in your hands... and the civil aviation authority is very strict about its controllers, thats why our airspace is so safe today... yup thats about it folks... What a wonderful weekend...

Love me for a reason and let the reason be love...

Thursday...
Materials lecture at 9 was cancelled due to SP open house... so why bother going for maths at 8 when u can go to school at 10? LOL... so i went for engineering design at 10... oh my god cant believe i passed my engineering design test... thought i screwed up big time... yup 57.75%... sucks but good that i passed... class ended early so we went for lunch at FC4... then we went around walking in the SP open house and spinnovex exhibition... lol feels like a freshie once again... ACC lecture ended in just 20mins! LOL the latecomers who came after 20mins were like shocked that lecture was over when they arrived haha... then we played cards as usual till maths tutorial... totally nothing to do, so just chatted with jon till end of lesson... of course pretending that we were doing some work or else the lecturer sure make noise zzz... tutorial is just a waste of time... well i mean the maths one... its always a chit chat talk cock session every week... and yup we were dismissed at 4... and i promised myself to go to the gym and so i did... it was rather crowded, but managed to do what i wanted to do... protein seems to be working wonders now... thats cool... showered and went home to fly with patrick and watch tv... thats about it for thursday...

Friday...
I managed to wake up to go for CAMM lecture! Even sung ying was surprised... she was like "where's lester???"... "OH! Finally u came! Last week never come right"... i was like =.= "ya"... other than that, CAMM was just crappy... so crappy and boring that benji had to take pics of me, and i was so bored that i actually bothered to look at his camera... yup then i took a pic of the lecture... pics are above... after CAMM lecture i went home to grab my stuff for NCC trainfire at HQ NCC... 3 units came, they arrived a bit late though... 7 clts came, i was the most senior... ended up supervising the trainfire instead of teaching... gave the clts a briefing and recapped the trainfire topics with them, then when the cadets came, gave the cadets a briefing and sorted them out into the various stations... and also corrected the clts' mistakes while walking around... yup that was my job... it was fun and fulfilling overall... otherwise i wouldnt know what i would be doing if i had gone to sji training... sent those cadets off then we went off too... long boring walk out of HQ as usual... its getting sian... how i wish HQ NCC would have a shuttle service in and out... lol... yup went home to slack a while... then dinner with parents at dian xiao er@Lot 1... came home and watched the "Dont laugh spa edition" series on youtube lol... it was damn hilarious... u should go watch... some jap variety show... yup then went to zZz...

Friday...
Morning was damn lame... i actually woke up at 7 on time to go to the toilet... but somehow i decided to go back to sleep... i honestly dunno why i thought that way... i think i sleepwalked to the toilet that i was too unconscious to remember that i have CAMM lecture at 8 LOL... and so i slept through till like 9 and skipped CAMM... went for ACC pract... it was short and sweet doing some cabin pressurisation test of a simulated aircraft cabin... lab report submit another day lol... was done in an hour... brought my gym stuff to school... but no one wanted to gym and i didnt want to gym alone, so i went home with lx... its cheryl's first day of school, so its back to busy times... cant anyhow go out already... flew bahrain-dubai on the A340-300... slept a while... then family dinner at Suki Sushi Japanese Village restaurant in jurong west with my mum's side's relatives... was awesome... the concept there is interesting... its like marche... u go to the booths and get an ice cream stick which has whatever food u wanna order written on it, bring the ice cream stick back to ur table and place it in a mug, the waiter will come and collect ur ice cream sticks and go to the booths to collect the food for you... rather cool there... nice place for a gathering... u dun have to stand at the booth waiting for ur food, unlike marche... and so i went home for a nice sleep after watching tv... little nonya and the 7pm drama was interesting...

Today...
I swear i am getting damn lazy to gym nowadays... i actually had the crazy idea of waking up at 8 to go gym but when the alarm rang, i woke up, walked up and down my room, hesitating whether to go gym and then decided to go back to sleep... what the hell... slept till like 10 plus then left home to go for an interesting lunch with the ***s at swensens northpoint with Mr H... was a cool lunch and a great gathering among the ***s... talked a lot about some issues... thanks Mr H for the lunch... its mum's birthday, i went home only to sleep a while then we went out for her birthday seafood dinner at long beach IMM... another awesome meal of the day... was rather full and emo to enjoy though... my dad likes to splurge a lot on food i dunno why, might as well give me the money... haha... cant believe i am saying this... came home and dota-ed with jp, yes the fat encik lol... very long never play dota with him already... we lost of course... opponent too pro and jp very long never touch dota already, didnt play well... cant blame him... the singapore controllers are doing an event now, cant join them cos of the dota game and i got work to do... seems fun tonight for them... and so now i am blogging... for now i can only wallow in this deep shit that i got myself into... such that i cant pull myself out of this shit... haiz so sian...

Finally i got a well deserved sleep haha... 12hrs of sleep... 1am to 1pm... well done! Have not been sleeping well these days... gotta "repair" myself... cheryl came over... well in case u guys are wondering why i never go her house, its cos her parents still dunno about us LOL yup... and she's sec 3 going sec 4... thats all i shall say for now... we intended to go west mall for lunch, but i needed to go to the computer shop to ask something... and so we passed by the coffee shop... and guessed what, my grandpa was stoning there alone drinking coffee... well he lives damn near me... it suddenly struck me whats wrong with my relatives... its a public holiday and no one wanna visit him or bring him out and my grandma is out at the salon... somehow i feel rather sad for my grandpa and my relatives... my parents have done their part, we always bring him out for dinner every week... but i dunno what the hell is wrong with others... sorry to be criticising them but its a fact... it sort of saddens me to see him drinking coffee alone... cheryl and i decided to cancel lunch at west mall and eat at the coffee shop to accompany him and so we did yup... i feel satisfied with what i did today cos its the right thing to do... after lunch, my grandpa wanted to buy toto so we accompanied him to buy toto then we went west mall to walk walk after my grandpa left... well are all families in singapore like that? i am not too sure... but i feel something needs to be done for my family... my grandpa has been good to me since young and yet now i dunno how to keep him occupied... though he always go chinatown walk walk, but he cant possibly do it everyday... sometimes i just feel helpless...

Yup cheryl went home and i went home to watch tv before my parents bought dinner back... feel quite guilty about what i have been surfing on the net recently but never mind... emergency lunch on saturday, havent coordinate finish with them yet... today completed a flight from mumbai to hong kong... yes left it cruising while i went out lol... yup thats about it... tmr supposed to go school, but lessons suck... so how? Monday almost had no lessons, wednesday we never go lessons, thursday holiday, might as well i make friday a self-declared holiday too... then i can slack till sunday lol... how ar? u tell me how...
