Beach Volley Ball World Tour 07

It'll be something interesting for someone who has never experience this sport before. 24-27 May at shores of Sentosa Siloso, a totally bikini-filled show down between skilled female players in this arena, featuring Brazilian players, Aussie players, USA players, Norway players & perhaps more!

I'll be there on the saturday 26th, also at the same time looking for khakis into this. Drop me a message or something if on...

Powerful

200 Pounds Beauty... Korean Dinner.... More

i was amazed to see & feel how wonderfully this movie was produced! The though to be only a simple comedy and romance show turn out to be a heart warming, attractive and good music one...

After the show, korean fever still running HIGH so again dinner was korean food, hehe think we just can't have enough of korea dramatic life-style yeah?

Fantastic saturday running with korean wind~

tIME-oUT wIt My sPARE cASh

I have gotten alittle bit of the spare cash from investing these couple of weeks, and it really felt happy as spending doesn't seems to be that painful anymore...

Well of course this takes alot of efforts in researching, questioning, calculating and courage to take the first step into my trading world~ Not a drop jaw figure though however enough to enjoy one decent meal + alittle tiny present at the end of the day...

Hmmm, special thanks to all those who actually taught me the ropes & being so kind to share their valuable knowledges with me! On my part I promised to keep up with the good work and be able to contribute abit during discussion making a more fruit-ful experiences~

Sign off

Saturday

Oh morning! Saturday came!!

Up and rising and 8am ride here I come!!! I usually welcomed my first day first moment of weekend with a heavy dope of extreme-packed stuffs, beside the usual training ride every that morning, this morning ride is going to be much more enduring since 18 MAY is the big day for my Kota Tinggi X-endurance ride 2D1N riding....... hehehe, excited!!! You can never get lonely along the way to EAST coast, and surprisingly a huge pack of AUSSIE riders popped up along westcoast way and we rode almost together for awhile after which they buzz off within a blink of an eye.... DARN were they fast!!

It's still before noon-time even after completing those scoop of extreme-ties, and it feels really good that the day is still pretty LONG ahead! Having lunch was important and bathing not to forget too. I was all again ready for another round... Somehow I usually slept on the bus or train for maybe an hour probably before reaching town for shopping, tea, makan, etc~ Along the streets, I often pick a nice smoothening calm looking cafe for a break. Since after all the morning dashes, a moment of silent tea-break comes in perfectly. Picking out a book or a new-brought magazine added points to the whole of relaxing......

And the rest of the day may spent on a stroll along the buzzing city streets, snapping pictures of surroundings, or watching some street performings near esplanade....

Saunday

Hmmm, sunday is checking out with family day... Checking on dad, mom, sis, sis, grandpa, grandma, neighbours, etc~ A proclaim early riser myself, sleeping pass 9am is never a thing for me.... Hmm, my sis always comment old people dun sleep too much, somehow implying I am OLD liao~~~

As the day moves towards the night, moody feelings sinks in... The M_ _ day stuffs la....

Post me your workstation

Have you ever wonder how you will decorate your workstation even before your first day at work? Simply like where will you place your mug, shall I place a small cushion behind my back, which compartment shall I store my rations, which angle shall my monitor face, and perhaps many more decisions to ponder on.


Today I share with all my workstation, basically naming the pros & cons of where I sit. The one right above is almost a basic floor plan of my department, pretty empty huh? Well you see, being engineers here don't really spend much time hanging around the office. We're always running around the plant. Ok good point no.1, my sit is all about corner and gives a pretty well wide angle view on who's coming and leaving. And probably it might be a pretty stress sit too as you can see the two doors behind are for my bosses! Once they step out, see me liao~

NExt my personal corner, hmmm pretty boring sit huh nothing much but paper documents all over! Well I'm still in the mid-term of revamping this particular spot... hehehe


The one POWER thing about my sit is darn near to toilet. So if I tummy ache I can access to it asap~ Somemore who ever wants to nuah inside there I will know~ Oh yes and all women or mostly all will passby me when they visit toilet. Well I'm also near to pantry too, woah got bad and good la hor.................

Its a long wait into the dusk, Saturday seems to just passed by within an blink of an eye & I started thinking back what have I done for the past few hours of this very short weekend?

As usual, I woke up all fresh to head out for my regular saturday morning ride training. I missed previous week, but still I went off alone riding into NTU the Sunday although my cough was bad... Taking a break at the stadium inside NTU, one just can't help to realize time has really flies!!

So much for last weekend, how about this weekend? I broke my record on flat land time-trial MAX speed!!! A proud 46.6km/hr recorded and also a 45km/hr maintained speed for 10 lamp-posts clocked~ Geeeeeez, was really max-ing it out there this morning wasn't it?

The rest of the noon was spend on more calm activities after all those adrenaline rush in the morning. I finished the letter, read some magazines, catching up with my dwnloaded animes & a good nap............

Dinner was held in town with her, her cousin and her cousin's bf. Ah saturday just passed by and the day just ended with an relaxing blog~

~SERIOUSLY FLU ATTACK~

No, you can't simply walk out just because you're feeling tired from the late night DVD watching the night before.

I was watching the guru teaching his guru-logy on the screen for the past 2 hours and can say its been quite a 'endurance' training in that particular morning. Well, studying in University seems so much diiferent from this, everytime you feel tired, you are always ok to walk off to catch a breather or two. But when it comes to work, you will think twice for many reasons!! Boss around la, peers competition la, speaker's reactions la, etc~

The only determining factor that holds most of those in that lecture room was teabreak at 10.30am.

Ok the stuffs he taught was pretty general and surface, actually I was expecting more from this jaop-guru...... More to come and more to come baby!!

How does salary hike affect me, as a private sector employee???

I think it is sooooo good that our government is realizing the FACTs that retaining talents really require lots of money and more than often this is definately the most easiest method to retain talents.

However this is still questionable on how well it can lower their resignation %.

I wonder how the private sectors will react to this approach by the government, are there chances that they will also raise their bar again and widen the gap once more bringing everything back to square one? Woah this is such good idea, everyone here will be so happy~

Being an engineer myself, I think I also need to benchmark myself to something else to see if I'm above the salary bar-line or below......

We simply have nothing better to do....

"Are you sure it's this much??!!"
"Yes Bro, accept the FACTS..."

"Geeex~ It's really that much!!"

"................S$150,000 as the minimum dictation, crazy or what?"

"Yes, thats just the begining"

As everything under the sun cost money, we did a rather simple calculation on how much min. one simple dude needs to afford a car + clear schooling debts + some other these's & there's~

Well, least we have a target to work ahead for.....

"Dude, are you 1/2 way there already?"

"sama sama with you lah~"

"Hahahahahaha..........."

When is the last time someone makes you feel important?

I have been wondering on this topic for the couple of weeks, and I still cannot find when is the last time I'm been felt important infront of. Well, perhaps it's been so long that such sense of feelings are gone...

Falling sick makes me feel more vulnerable and one's mind really brings up all those funny unhappiness within one's heart. I am sick, no call.......... As I pondered long into the night of this particular Sunday, I simply couldn't feel more lonelier than ever. Things fade away eventually, and eventually for it to be forgotten~ Before that happens, silence covers the entire space.

I made wrong decisions in life, no body stands beside me... No supports no understandings.... I was reprimended, I kept quiet for as long as the night holds~ I couldn't express my feelings, why? why is it inside, why can't talk?

I did my run alone in the night....... I did my ride alone in the morning........... I had lunch alone in the noon......... Checking my phone again, nothing~

HAHAHAHA~ what a disgrace~~

FYI: tO OverCoMe PaIN, CoVeR iT WiTH GrEatEr PAin~~~

Somehow when it comes to determing whether a person is a pain-taker, you can easily observe it from the sports he/she plays. So has it been decided that those who indulged in extreme sports events like Triathlon, Marathon, Advanture Races, Rock Climbing or etc etc are people who are often not only CRAZY but also who can endure PAIN better than most others~

How to rid pain, well simply do something else (healthy methods) to cover it up~ A good way I came up is to cover it with greater pain, of course this doesn't implied doing something stupid but however I find that going on a endurance activity example cycling and running kind of works for me..... The pain in enduring the journey finish can relieved you from remembering those useless painful stuffs, and also makes you fitter!!

Simply doing a run up & down East Coast Park one fine morning can wash all your troubles away~ Because you will be too shack to even care about those troubles, hahaha~

Errr, I will be doing a East Coast FULL length run coming soon... Basically this is for my Triathlon training so just in case anyone will love to hop in partner me can feel free to sms / call me~

We're all waiting for the show to start.... & what can really beats the long wait was sitting down to enjoy a cuppa of coffee~

Tonight is special outing filled with many special guests. Besides P in the picture, we still have Xinlin's younger sister. Well luckily we didn't brought the M18 show just then else one will definately be left out~

Oh oh~ Never to forget another special guest that popped up awhile, make a guess if you can figured who is he?

(Who is he....?)

(All pictures were prouldy captured by my K800i)

After the Mystery Man exhibit, I took a gentle stroll along the area and hmmm, it kind of very smoothing and relaxing..... Time slows down in that place & definately one nice place to sit down on one of the bench and observe the Arts laying around~ It also add an extra taste of blessing if you are eating an cool icy icecream on hand...

Little cars passed by, fewer people walked pass too..... There're birds jumping on the trees from branches to branches, & seems like they were dancing~ Suddenly I felt life is GOOD!! There's so much energy flowing in and someday I will come back to that place successFUL.

When Ages Catch Up....

As I watched his back walking away from me, it suddenly seems like

so many years have passed by... His hair has turned almost yet he is still smiling everyday

and feeling strong.

Grandpa, who walks infront of me while I'm doubly my steps to catch up with him. Since I was a young boy, I have been running to catch up with him. Well, who knows till this age when I'm so fit, I still find it pretty tough to match with him!!

It almost seems like he is skiing on the way~ My grandpapa, always my hero at heart~

When I Organize Gathering...........

............. I get the following replies


" Your gathering aimless, always eat, drink then chat..."
" Chances of me attending depends on who you can jio...."
" I need to know who's going because there's certainly someone I don't want to see..."
" Why so small group, so many fly you aeroplane..."
" You must plan some things to do, else will be boring..."
" No drinks I don't come one you know..."
" I will just join in to sit around, no drinks and foods for me..."
" No girls all boys gathering really is boring"
" Too many gathering le... Take a break..."
" Sure anot, wait all fly you aeroplane, I confirm again with you"
" I busy now, remind me when draws nearer"

When I never call, no one ever EVER rings me up for dinner, drink or anything... While taking the initiative, still get this kind of responds!! WTF!! Hiam this Hiam that... No one ever treat me a drink lol and I never earn anything back one dude~


All these leads to one FINAL Annoucement from ME:

NO MORE GATHERING
FROM ME THIS POINT ON !!!

NO MORE GATHERING

FROM ME THIS POINT ON !!!

NO MORE GATHERING

FROM ME THIS POINT ON !!!

Eeeeee~ So digusting one, pig can just be used in anywhere & anything!!

This will be our next gathering hang-out cafe. A calm quiet corner located at TAKA and offers nice delicate deserts, cakes, tea. But of course our dinner will be somewhere else near this place. So when can I put this gatehring on?
