OCBC Cycling 40km
Not much has happened for the start of 2009. The only thing is that I joined the 40km OCBC Cycle. Got to start to train up abit. If not on the actual day, dunno if I can complete the challenge or not.
The route is starting from F1 Pit, up Republic Ave, Nicoll Highway, ECP and then turn back before Changi Coast rd. Quite a distance actually. I nvr really cycle so far before as far as I can remember. Haaa.
Last Friday, I did a 10km in 22mins trial in the gym. Wow, can be very tiring. LOL. Actually thinking of going to ECP later today. But a bit lazy leh and nobody to go with also. How I wish i staying in the East.
Anyway, I read alot of horoscope from different sources saying 1981 chicken in the cow year will have good wealth and chances of promotion and new job opportunities. Hope so its true lah.

Happy 2009!!!
Happy 2009 to everyone!!! Wishing all the best in whatever you do!!!
Year 2008 was quite a happening year. Many things happen. Mostly good things. I don't really remember any not so good things that happen, which is great. Somehow, I feel some luck at the end of 2008. Hope 2009, things will be just as great if not better.
I have just put up my wishlist for 2009. 3 wishes was brought over from last year.
2 new wishes I have included are to save more money and to have more interesting & challenging tasks at work.
1) Scuba dive at Pulau Rendang - hopefully this wish will come true in March or April when the diving season opens again.
2) A girlfriend - this wish, think I need to work hard abit liao. 2009 already. Leave all to fate seems like quite difficult. Maybe got to go look for some fate myself. Maybe can go join more SDU activities or something. Haa.....
3) A new job - this wish, got to see got any job opponunity this year anot. Also got to see wish number 5 got anything happening anot. Year 2009 will be quite a tough year. See how lah.
4) Save more money - this new wish is added because after working for 3 years, I realise I nvr save much money. I just simply spend all I earn. In fact, sometimes even spend more than what I earn each month. Lucky got bonus. Help me survive 2008. So this year I need to start saving some money each month... Try lah... haa
5) More interesting & challenging tasks at work - new entry! I been working for 3 years liao in my current job. In comfort zone for too long I think. Things I do everyday become very boring and not so challenging. Like doing the same thing everyday. Hope got some chances to do some new things. Then got chance to perform again also. Last year I got my Vietnam project to push up my score. Hope this year got something similar also.
Thats all folks. Happy new year!!!!! (pull your ear.. LOL)

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all my dearest friends and family members. May the year 2009 be a great year for all of us..... i hope.
The recession has not really affected us yet. But it will, in 2009 be not 2010.
But lets not like this affect this wonderful festive season.
The year 2008 has been a fruitful year for me for a number of reasons.
Firstly, I did my LASIK which changed my life quite abit. No more blur vision. Everything I see at anytime is perfectly clear. LASIK is indeed wonderful. 3k for the op is 1oo% worthwhile.
Secondly, I got my advance diver cert. So more dives to come for me.
Thirdly, got my new mobile phone, Samsung Omnia.
Forth, got my pair of inline skates, but I hardly skate now.
Fifth, got my snorkel mask and fins. These will come in handly for my next dives.
Well, there are more happenings lah, but cant seems to remember what. haaa... Maybe old liao, thats y cant recall already.
Anyway 3 wishes or goals for this year have to be carry forward to next year I guess.
1) Scuba dive at Rendang (season closed now, aiming to go next year April)
2) Girlfriend (leave this to fate I guess)
3) Better job (unknown due to current market, maybe later half of next year or 2010?)
So what other goals for next year? Haven really think about it yet.... I post it up when I think of some. =)

You win some and you lose some.
You win some and you lose some.
I won tallest person, best dress, best table and 5th prize in last night's DnD.
But I lost the chance to watch Andy Lau fantastic concert.
Just my luck lah. Who tell me dun go find out when my bank's Dnd first before buying the ticket. Haaa...
Anyway the DnD was very fun. In fact it was the best out of the four DnDs that I went.
We won the best table becoz all of us dressed up in one way or another. Some rent costumes like me, others come in retro dressing and makeups. Prize was a Ipod shuffle look-alike. Those china one i think. haha I nvr take the prize though.
Then I won the tallest person, needless to say. Not many people is as tall as me. haaa. Prize dun need to mention lah. Some lousy pencil and pen. Pen no ink some more.
Then I won the male best dress.... and it comes with a prize to pay. My reputation. 200+ pairs of eyes saw the crazy side of me last night. Omg. What I won was $80 dollars Marina Sq shopping vouchers.
Then finally in the final part of the lucky draw, I won the 5th prize which is a Sony DVD Camrecorder, more known as Sony ViewCam.
I read on the forum about the critics of Andy Lau's concert...... Everyone was giving thumbs up for the concert. "The singing and the effects were good" was what most people commented.
I dun really have any regrets lah. I just believed that we dun always have the best of everything. But the truth is I had great fun last nite.. Haaa...

updates
wow, close to a mth nvr blog liao. nvr hear much complains from the tagboards shows how little readers i have, or maybe my readers are bz also? haaa
Anyway, its had been a bz mth for me. got a project release. work until quite late everyday to support.
then attended two wedding liao. one more tmr evening.
come to think of it, for this mth, i was either at home, at work, or at frd's wedding. haaa.
also, i have sold my andy lau ticket. i love to watch the concert, but i wanted to go to my bank's dnd also. this year my colleagues very on, all go rent costumes mah. so i tot it will be quite happening lor.
then the andy lau concert i not sitting with may, but sitting alone. at first i tot watching concert might feel like watching movie. but i realise movie, in the cinema is all dark and cannot tok, so watch alone is ok.
but concert, is nice to have people around and talk and sing along together. and go crazy together.
so......... in the end i try to sell my ticket thru:
1) e-bay
2) thru friends
3) msn's personalised message
4) facebook.
guess which one is the most effectively?
FACEBOOK!!! i tried to auction my ticket on e-bay, but i relist my items 2 times and still nobody bidded. i guess single ticket nobody will want lah.
but just few hours after i put it on my facebook status, somebody was interested in my ticket. I was quite lucky lor. the buyer was surprised when i told him i dunno any1 around sitting around the seat. haaa
i guess next time i wont go buy a single ticket again.
till the next update. c u all again. maybe with fotos from my dnd. heee....

Finally....
Finally, the problem with my auntie's PC was resolved. I went back to sim lim to get the board exchanged for the correct one, double confirm with the man about the DDR1 ram, bought 1 stick of DDR1 ram. Also bought thermal paste for the replace the worn out paste between the CPU fan and the CPU.
Did a little of window shopping here and there also. I keep looking at this D-link draft-n router DIR-655, wondering if I should buy anot. My current router still working leh. and I dun play much online games nowadays also....
Maybe wait til the computer fair to see if there are any better offers mah.

Feeling very angry and lousy
Im feeling very angry and lousy at this point of time. Why? Becoz of my auntie's PC, my lousiness and my "suayness".
AT THIS POINT OF TIME, IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR SOME STUPID CRAP FROM ME, JUST GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. IF NOT THEN READ ON AND DONT BLAME ME AFTER TAT.
Why my auntie's PC? Coz tat time she asked me what PC to buy. I offered to help her to assemble one PC instead. And now the PC died.
Why lousy? Coz I really sucks at troubleshooting PC problems. This is not the 1st time. Why did i offer to help people to fix PC in the 1st place? These PCs always fail with unknown reasons. For the case of my auntie's PC, when my auntie copy some fotos around in her local drive the PC will restart or show the BSOD (blue screen of death). After hours of troubleshooting, still in vain. So I make some wild guess that maybe the RAM is spoilt. So I went to buy new RAM. Previously was only 512mb. So I bought 2 x 1gb. Then when I fix in the new RAM. Same thing happen! and worse still after a while, the PC cant start up at all. Just no display sent to the monitor. Nothing is moving except for the fans. All these time I was at my auntie house. So I tot this might take more time and effort, so I brought the PC home. After hours of troubleshooting, still the same.
Anyway to cut the story short, i tot about the suayness that I had recently. I went to sim lim to see if I can get 2nd hand of the same motherboard tat my auntie's PC is having. The person at the 2nd hand store told me might be becoz not enough power from the power supply. But not be the mother board problem. OK then I went home empty handed. Try at home with another power supply. Same problem lor. Ok never mind, I went to sim lim again, then I bought a brand new motherboard tat I found 1 shop selling. There was 2 version. The 775 or 478 version. I guess that 775 was the right one so I bought the board home. Then few days later when i decided to fix up the PC, then i realised, shit, the processor is the 478 version. So again I went to sim lim after work to go exchange for a 478 version. Then last night when I wanted to fix up the PC, i found 2 problems. The back panel of the board does not fit the back plate tat was provided with the motherboard. Wad the f***. They gave me a wrong back plate!!!! To make the things worse, the stupid board cannot use the 2 pieces of 1gb ram tat i bought earlier. f***ing hell. Wad kind of stupid board is this. New board with old ram technolody??? This board uses DDR1 ram instead of DDR2. You see how absurd anot. Then nevermind, I went back to sim lim today just with the back plate. I intended to just exchange the back plate and get some stupid DDR1 ram. Then the man told me I was having the correct plate. Start telling me about alignment of the board and other crap. I told him cannot be lor. Then he showed me some PCs tat he is fixing up with the board tat i bought. The back plate is exactly the same as the one that I am holding. and holly shit did i realised the model of the board that I had at home now is different from what the box of the package describe on the outside. I double confirm by calling my brother to check for me. f***ing piece of shit, they gave me a wrong board in the box that I exchange for. The man ask me to bring the board back.
I feel like kena bang on wall thousands over times all over. How suay can I get. I really feel like shit.
I tell myself that after this time, I not going to offer any help to troubleshoot or fix anybody PCs anymore. Unless is my own.
I tot i was ok with this kind of things, but end up, in actual fact I just like a stupid dummy. Maybe I should buy a PC troubleshoot for Dummies at the bookshop.
Enough said. My weekend is spoilt totally. I'm still thinking whether I should go back to sim lim tomolo or not. Or just f*** it.

Celebrating my mother birthday
Just now had lunch at Himawari Japanese Restaurant at Mount Faber Safra. The food is not bad. Price is ok also. Had a-la carte buffet. $34.80++ per pax. Then I got a 10% discount coupon from the dolce magazine. Hard to tell you what we had coz we ate alot. haaa.
Anyway initially wanted to go to a vegetarian restaurant, but my dad strongly objected. He said he won't go if we go. Haaa, my dad hate veges. I was going home last thursday when those dolce people hand out the mag to my colleague and me. Then I showed it to my mother on the same night and asked her what she want to eat. Then she flipped and saw this Jap restaurant. So I made the booking on Friday for 9. My family, plus my sis-in-law and 2 aunties.
Jialat, really eat a lot recently. Become fat already seriously. Can feel my office pants getting tighter. Oh dear.
19th Oct afternoon - My birthday celebrations @ The Line
19th Oct evening - Dinner at Din Tai Feng @ Causeway point (super bloated stomach, but still can eat some food)
25th Oct - Eat streamboat @ a restaurant in USJ, Malaysia
26th Oct - Eat @ Dragoon "Xiao Long Bao" restaurant in Sunway mall, Malaysia
2nd Nov (Today) ala carte buffet at Himawari Japanese Restaurant at Mount Faber Safra
Dun fat also cannot. Keep eating alot. Can go many places eat lah, but must control. But I am very greedy one. Full liao still can eat somemore. Especially buffet.....
How I wish we can just eat n eat and size still remains. HAaaaa....
November liao, no PH this month so boring. Got one wedding this month. 2 wedding next mth. Haaaaaa.... Going to be broke.
Did I mention last month 18th Oct, my friend borrowed my dad's car to be as wedding car. So I was the wedding car driver lah. So automatically i was one of the brothers also lor. The night before, went to wash car then went to the bridal shop to "dress up" the car. Then I drove home to park. This was the first time I drove a wedding car and I parked the car in my house's carpark. When my dad and mum saw the car, they again popped the question "So many of your friends getting married, when is your turn?". Did i mention my mum asked me to join those SDU events? Hmmm .... ok back to the wedding. Chee Yong was my course mate back in Air Force School. He married his gf Irene in the beautiful chapel in Singapore Arts Museum. The wedding was in the afternoon, so everything was over around 3++. Then I drove the newly wed couple back home around 5+ i think.
So its many wedding in a row. Oct, Nov & Dec. Got a few wedding scheduled for next year already also. haa...
