260708 through My eyes

Hello folks, this is me with my new DSLR, Canon EOS 450D. I barely knew how to use it.


But i guess i need to give it a shot.



Here we are, attending Parade Commander's ROM solemnisation in Rasa Sentosa. As usual, i love to indulge in my deep thoughts, pondering over what other people MIGHT BE pondering....




Amber : Wah i better check out the SCE guys... dunno whether they shortchanged my hubby onot....



Ian : Where is my reception? How long do i have to wait?



Come, let me clear the yellow thing beside your eye...( amber must be real tired!!! )


Zaki: Awww so sweeet! When will my turn be?



We better write our name big big so that patrick noes we gave him 1K


Lizard: Hello boys! I am lizard NO MORE!!! cos i have a human lady friend.. Song bo????

And as the solemnisation begins...


Patrick: When the lorry comes...you really cannot SIAM....




Patrick: Shucks i dun really get the terms and conditions....



Damn, its really confusing... what should i do?



Should i tell amber that i dun know what's going on?



Heck!!! LOVE WILL KEEP US ALIVE!!!!!



Patrick : Shiok man.. this taste better than the vietnam mango shake i drank last year...

And as the crowd claps and cheers in happiness....



Patrick : GENTLEMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for norminating me as your GRC leader....



And so, another guy's singlehood is gone, just like that... 2 weeks ago, it was Wan's. I think the next one should be me lah.


SCE GANG FOREVER!!!!!

Automobile

Though mentally drained, I was quite excited to drive up from Changi Village to meet my fiance (in KAP area) after work.

I was cruising along PIE, in search of a UPPER BUKIT TIMAH exit that would eventually bring me to my destination. Somewhere during the journey, probably 20min after leaving my work place, i found myself moving along with the rest of the traffic. Some folks driving real fast beyond speed limit, some taking their time on the 3rd lane. My auto driving mode kicked in, and frankly, my mind was blank.

I had to breathe slightly harder for oxygen to kickstart my brains again so that i can drive safely. While doing so, this very nice BMW (i couldnt make out which series it was ) stole my attention on the right.

Almost instantaneously, i started wondering if i would get a car soon. All those hours wasted on public transport sometimes make me dread of going to work. Its like wasting your life away if you really had nothing better to do on the bus. Losing time robbed me of alot of possibilities and opportunities. Could have gone exercising after my work, IF i COULD COME HOME EARLIER from work everyday. Could have met my gf for dinner, IF I had my dad's car that day. I swore there were many things i could do with a car......


The BMW vanished into the horizons of PIE ( TUAS ). All of a sudden, i realised i had already passed Toh Guah exit.

Through my heavy and weary eyes, I had lost sight of the entrance i was struggling to look out for. More time wasted in the end just to re route to meet my dear. =x

Pieces of my life

I went to this year's FOOT SP night.. Had decided to go after my shiftwork because i really missed the feeling of this ODAC spirit....

I have already graduated close to one year since my convocation. I did not attend this year's foot ( and neither have i attended last year's ), but juz popping by to experience the birth of a new batch of ODAC peeps during SP night somewhat creates this sensation of ODAC renewal in me.

I had worked with some of the best peeps in NTU ODAC history.



















I did not bother with the captions and descriptions of these pictures. To me, it all meant good memories in NTU ODAC.

Yutiao and Butterfly Cakes

I thought i was serving my in camp. Dont know if its the last few or not. I was walking on this stretch of road leading to the barracks, and remembered seeing young faces doing their morning runs.... I felt awkward because there wasnt any familiar faces i knew.

Somewhat it daunt upon me that i was heading towards Catholic Junior College. I wanted so much to return to my bunk. Odd enough, i found myself standing on the 3rd level of CJC block which overlooked the dull grass quadrangle.

I felt sticky from the long walk. So decided to go for a shower. Again there wasnt anyone familiar when i entered the showers.

Apparently drowsy, i headed to this HDB apartment to sleep. Wasnt sure how long i slept until my bladder woke me up. I recalled drinking lots of bubble tea and pink dolphin on my way back from previous night's skating session. Sugar overdose, i thought... as i unwillingly parted the bed and headed for the loo...

I undid my zippers and lashed out my hose. But there was something wrong... i was pissing orange crush into this top loading washing machine in the apartment! I didnt stop at it surprisingly because the state of my bladder overwhelmed me. Somewhat similiar to a flood hahaa....

"Maybe its alright", i said to myslf... until i realised that the washing machine started to spin....and i thought i saw clothings floating,emerging from the little whirlpool...someone had deposited clothings inside the machine! Alamak...

I left the house feeling lost. This time round i was in Geylang Bahru, trying to search for some food for my hunger. Naturally i headed to the market, where anyone can get almost any kind of local hawkerfare at a price that wont pinch your wallets. I wasnt actually looking for any particular food. But i was stunned when this entire column of stall were selling chinese 'butterfly' cakes and youtiao ( fried fritters ). It was quite a scene because i never recounted so many of these stalls being around.

I subconsciously ended my hunt for the food, puzzled. I saw this huge ferris wheel that many adults were on.... but the funny thing was, they were just suspended by twines( those white strings )and nothing else!

At this moment, i turned around and saw Kelvin Kuah. He appeared disturbed and told whoever within his vocal range to stop riding. I was busy helping some of those who were already trapped on the ferris wheel to tighen their twine seats using all my knowledge on rope work.




I suddenly woke up. The time was 830am on my K770I alarm.
