Wednesday 30th Dec

Thanks to mm’s morning call, I managed to wake up at 8am to prepare for the whole day’s activities. We planned to catch Avatar in 3D at The Cathay, Doby Ghaut in the morning, 11am’s show. Never expect the movie screen for so long, still so hot the seats.. Ben even said tat it’s the best movie for 2009. Hence we have decided to catch this movie, despite the fact tat it doesn’t appeals me at the beginning.

We met early for breakfast at kfc, followed by train to cathay just in time for the movie. It was not really nice as wat ben have said, to me it was ok only.. The 3D glasses weren’t very clear, despite me specially wearing my 2nd last pair of contact lens for the movie. Some of the parts were funny, especially they were all chanting tog, just like cults.. Despite the actions, there’s a romantic love story in the movie.

The guy having a false avatar, infiltrate the real tribe ppl (blue colour ppl), to get to know them n be close to them. An avatar was created by using the genes of the tribe ppl, mixed wif the genes of the real life ppl. So to enter ur own avatar wif ur genes, u were put to slp in a machine, where u woke up, finding urself having the avatar as ur body.. The guy’s real life, he was a paralyzed man, weak n not able to do many things a normal man can do.

But in the avatar, he is perfect. Eventually he falls in love wif the real tribe woman n they fell in love wif each other, thru the 1st encounter n all along.. Its more of the love story which I enjoyed catching this movie.. Eventually, during the last fight btw man n tribe ppl, over the sacred land, the tribe woman, managed to save the real guy, wifout his avatar form.

In the end, the real guy sacrifice his real form n decided to be in his avatar form forever, to be wif the tribe woman. So tat’s when the chanting ritual starts haha. Anyway I find it hard to describe the almost 3hrs long movie in words. If ppl who r interested to noe the love story inside, have to watch it urself..

So after the movie, we headed to have lunch, or maybe not.. But I rmb we went to play snooker tog at Paradiz Centre. After renovation, it seems better, however, the snooker place, doesn’t turn out to be enjoyable, despite the fact tat there’s happy hour of 4 bucks per hr. The cue stick just suits more for pool, instead of snooker. Played 4 rounds n headed to have dinner at there.

We saw a cheap restaurant, I think is Mad Jack or wat.. Can’t really rmb the place name.. Its quite affordable, but quite average for western place ba.. Anyway after tat, we headed to arcade at Plaza Sing to play SF4 awhile. My performance was quite good there, tat when I am out of credits, I nv expect to saw a guy walking over to me n talked to me. Then I realized tat it was 1 of the host, who organized the tournaments at Bugis.

He also participated in the first few tournaments wif his El Fuerte, as I have seen his tournament videos in his blog for SF4. So I guess, he finds my El Fuerte not bad, since not many ppl can use tat char very well. So spoke awhile n then we went off le.. Reached sem quite early but I can’t really rmb wat we do next.. Oh ya I think I missed out something impt..

During snooker time, I received a very impt call, finally a call from MBS.. But its not a call to notify me abt the training date, only to inform me the date for the Casino Licence interview which I need to clear. I am quite worried about this, cuz of my financial situation now n the fact tat I am on fast cash wif my credit cards, only pay the minimum amt every mth.. Worried they failed me over this reason as this credit card thing, was reflected in my credit bureau report.

However, whatever it is, I have a clear conscience n I guess since I have ntg ugly to hide, I shld be able to tell whatever I have to said in the interview when the ask me tat. Passing me or not, still lies on them… I should be happy to noe tat the interview date is near, but ended up it means more things for me to do.. cuz suddenly need to do some additional things, giving me lots of headaches again..

Thursday 31th Dec

It’s the last day of 2009, therefore its time to cele. A small cele was worthwhile as it is to cele, but I managed to survive until the very last day of 2009. I dun really noe how I managed to do it, but it was really a very dreadful year for me. I just hope the new year would be better. Anyway didn’t really cele much, afternoon company kit to SP to settle some things.

Then after which, we went to have lunch followed by arcade. I wanted to shop for an external hard disk as my laptop has almost run out of space. However, after calculations for my remaining funds left, I doubt I would be able to survive until I manage to find another part time job, hence I decided to drop the idea as well.. Planned so much, end up didn’t buy anything at all. I guess this yr, there’ll not be new clothes for me to wear as well..

Anyway after which, we have to head home as it was late for the nite cele. I went home to prepare n come out straight to meet kit again, this time wif nel as well. Wil last min say he wanna join us. I guessed he tried hard enough to overcome himself to face his ex gf, Dawn. Its been so long le, yet he’s still like tat. I told him tat he should be brave n show up as a prove tat he is doing well without her.

Anyway the steamboat dinner location was at Novena.. I was very reluctant to go there cuz I dun really like the idea of steamboat in a very hot n crowded place. Ended up, it proves me rite. The place was so stuffy n crowded, there’s not much space btw the other table either. Total it cost 22 plus, but i am not cut out for buffet anymore. Ever since diet start, appetite will shrink n eat little bit only, will be very full..

Total there’s 9 of us this time – Nel, wil, me, kit, xy, hy, cy, dawn and Fion. Newspaper boy last min got stg on, ended up nv come again. So after every1 was full with their meals, only left the usual sole survivor, Kit, who can eat a lot. He come eat buffet, sure very worth it. I wonder how he can starve himself with so much food, yet he doesn’t seem to grow fat..

Anyway its time to start playing our usual game, Zhong Ji Mi Ma.. Of cuz the loser will get a forfeit to choose 1 of the food and clear them up.. The whole buffet started at around 6pm plus and they planned to eat until 11pm, but seems like its not possible as every1 felt full at ard 9pm+. So after which, they dun have much plans n we have to brainstorm.. I hate the idea of me doing the brainstorm by myself n some of them just sit there n wait for activities tat suits them to come, or some just choose their own activities where not every1 is suitable or likes to do…

So we ended up window shopping awhile at a shopping centre at Novena there, b4 decided to go to Yishun Safra to Sing K. However, when we reached there, the price was so exp tat each of us have to pay 38 bucks if we were to sing on tat nite. Since it was not worth it, they have to think of other activities, while I helped them call n checked other outlets prices n availability, but seems like its not possible..

Since no K session, gotta think of other things, where they decided to head for bowling alley, but ended up it was closed for cele.. This leaves us only the choice of snooker n pool, where not every1 is interested.. Ended up, after so many idling at Yishun Safra, calling Orchid Country Club to check empty slots for bowling, it was still not available.. So we struggled until mins to countdown, where I suggest the give n take activities..

Snooker or Lan shop as the 1st activites, True/Dare or the Drinking game as the 2nd activities. So ended up they choose snooker n pool, where kit, nel, wil n me played snooker, the rest played pool. The 4 of us played a round of standard snooker, wif me the 1st, wil 2nd, kit 3rd, nel last. Then using the sequence, we play number ball wif the card game. Its been so long since we played this game again.

Well I was so unlucky tat I dunno y, I keep losing when I played this game..So ended up we have to stop playing at 1.30am as it was the closing time, I was losing badly.. Seems like I paid most of the game.. Ard 16bucks like tat.. After which we headed back to Sun Plaza by separate cabs, where everybody headed to 7-11 to buy a bottle of 1.5 litre drink, of their own choice, cannot buy carbonated drinks or beer..

Kit have to go home cuz he need to work early in the morning. So only left the 8 of us initially, but since xy’s sis, xinlei has got ntg to do, she decided to join us. So in total, we have 1 Oolong tea, 2 C.White tea, 1 blueberry tea, 1 lemon tea and 4 mineral water. So we played the usual game like Christmas eve, but this time its all abt drinking. Think every1 of us drank, the most were Fion 1st, as she was very unlucky.

Next is Xinlei n Wil, then followed by Dawn as she hit our top record, with 3 times draw 4 in a row. Tat’s the time when she drank the most, but as expected of an aries, she was very spotty n drank everything clean. The most lucky 1 was nel n Cy I guess.. Fion keep drinking at the beginning, until the later stage, she can’t take it, that she fall out to rest awhile, but the moment she comes in, she gets to drink again..

Then another thing happened, where xy actually vomit halfway on the table. Cuz she said the cups mixed wif many kind of drinks, until there’s a smell so she puked.. Cuz it stinks up the table, every1 suggested to change tables, until we finally finished up all the 9 bottles.. I get to drink quite some cups at the later part of the game.. So after tat, we call it a day I guess..

Friday 1st Jan 2010 Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to my 2nd Sis.

1st day of 2010, I hope tat all the bad times in year 2009 be gone and all the happiness comes ahead of me! I sincerely hoped tat in my heart, please dun wan to let me suffer again. I hope my love, family, career, studies as well as health be in rising condition. I have enough of downs n I dun wish to be down all the time. Its time to rise n have ups again!!!

Anyway this day, Ben is coming down to meet me n wil. I started the day bad, playing cards wif them, keep losing… I have been on losing streak dunno how long already. Something’s really wrong with my head nowadays.. seems like my headache is getting quite frequent tat my forehead hurts even when I touches them.. Playing cards in such condition, really sucks….

As usual, we play until nite time, where after dinner, I told them I wan to take a break. So I went to arcade to relax a while, dunno y mac air-con suddenly so cold.. After tat then go back to resume our game, until ard 10pm+, nel come over to join us in the game while waiting for newspaperboy to come. So we end up playing until ard 3am, where the results is ben winning all of us.

This year seems lucky for ben, where his luck is finally improving a lot. I was so sick, so I decided to call it a day, not to play until morning. Hence ben took the niterider home, while I faster prepare n slp.

Saturday 2nd Jan 2010

It was another boring day for me.. I spent the day alone with the company of my laptop, enjoying the peace at home, getting everything ready to go out to Sun Plaza with my stuffs. Seems like 2010 isn’t a smooth beginning for me as well.. I have so many things needed to clear, like updating my resume so tat I can send them on mon, as well as finalizing the things for my coming Casino Licence interview on coming Thursday..

Besides tat, I need to settle many other things on the following week, like army medical review, Tan Tock Seng Medical Appointment stuffs (due to financial, I did not book appt within a yr, they closed my case..So now I have to go poly clinic 1 day, to be referred to specialist again.) and also I need to call MBS to clarify the documents needed to be presented in my interview..

So many pieces in mind, jus makes me stressed out. I headed to mos burger to watch Michael Jackson’s This is it movie again, while eating dinner there. Its always nice to catch the movie again.. However, I guess he’s old already, hence doesn’t really do much moves during his rehearsal..Anyway I did halfway, it was already so late, so I gave up n headed home to rest as I dunno wat’s wrong wif me, my head just hurts…

Sunday 3rd Jan 2010

I slept ard 4am last nite and woke up at 8am plus.. Dunno y I wake up so early, but I just can’t go back to slp.. So I turned on my internet n stone there.. Until afternoon, cuz nobody’s around, I started to feel tired n went to bed n slp.. Originally, they planned to have a number ball snooker at amk hub in the afternoon, meeting at 2pm, but cuz wil last min say work cannot dismiss early, kit was tired n have to eat dinner at home, so the activity was cancelled.

I spent the remaining time in bed until I drag myself up to prepare n headed out to SP mac to do my things. Called Jason Bear to come find me for dinner, but Newspaper boy showed up while I was waiting for JB. So when bear arrives, we headed to arcade to bring NB down to hav dinner at KFC. Its been some time since I have not eat kfc, so I wanted to eat it.

The spicy level of the black pepper has reduced, compared to the 1st time I ate, but still not lowered for JB tat he sweats a lot while he’s eating. So after which, we headed back to arcade where I companied them to arcade until abt 9pm+ where I’m back now at mac to finish my task n blogging now.. Tot for a movie, but I dun think I have the energy to do tat now.. Guess I will head home for now..

Stopped Blogging on 4th Jan at 2am

I missed out something on Sunday’s post. Since the afternoon activity was cancelled n I was alone at home, I did some searching of young photos. Managed to find a very own, 1 n only 1, solo baby photo which I have in the past. It has turned yellow now. Wanted to preserved it, but somehow I am not able to do so.. I tried taking the photo with my camera, but its not clear at all. Since not able to transfer the photo to my laptop, I am not able to share the photo.. sigh…
