A night over at Terence's Place
Yesterday, midway into my work, I received a msg from Aaron to meet up. He and Terence wanted to go to Funan to look for some IT gadgets. I was thinking that its fine to meet, so as to discuss with them programs about New Year Eve.
After work, as planned, I met them at Funan. To my little surprise, Jin Jie was there too. Anyway, we walked a little as they looked a mini SD card. Jin Jie arranged to meet Yu Zhen too for dinner as she was giving up a tuition child to Jin Jie. She is also one of the example how time flies and how guys lack behind on the girls. She had already starting work in an audit company after just completing her ACCA.
We had our dinner at a a food court, having a nice chat. After which, we head back to Orchard (Oh My GOd!!!) where they want to go to Popular, while Aaron want to look for his gf's present. At the book store, it was then i realised that there is a big range of assessment books these days. Stacks and shelves of books are all over the place, no wonder JJ needed Yu Zhen's help in choosing assessment books.
Shortly after buying the books, Yu Zhen headed home first, while we continued shop a bit. We were sitting at Yoshinoya for a drink when suddenly this idea of staying over at Terence's place came about. So I head straight to his place while Aaron and JJ went home first before coming over.
Once again, it was just like Secondary school days when we often stayed over at each other's place. I had the chance to watch The Curse of the Golden Flower using Terence's computer. Other than that, we played our usual Winning Eleven... keke....
I and Aaron went to sleep early around 4am while the other two continued their battle. Upon morning did i realise that they actually played till 7am... Crazy guys... they had just slept for only 4 hours.
It was nice that Terence's mum got us Nasi Lemak for i and JJ. However, my sore throat didn't allow me to finished it. Darn, again ulcer at a corner of my throat....
Today afternoon, I and Terence went ahead with the plan of watching Death Note II. The sequel was even better than the first. Though it was almost 2 plus hours, it didn't seem that long at all. By the time it was over, it was already evening time. Off i went back here to my grandma's house....
OH OH.. In the end, there was no progress in the programs discussions lor... Jin Jie, that guy, he had already agreed to meet up his 3C/4C class for the countdown and didnt let us know here... while Aaron also could not confirm whether he is meeting or not... typical indecisive him.. Upon this.. complete sianness for me and terence. So we decided to leave the plan aside... unless there's some last min decision...

Christmas Day
Christmas Day
It was 2006 Christmas Eve. The year has been filled with different events. Going through different phrases, facing all sorts of happenings has made me mature a bit.
Coming to the end of the year, Christmas was finally here. The plan for the day was to have a Christmas dinner with the guys. It also marked the day when Terence comes back home to Singapore from Cambodia. He was there for about 20 odd days for his school community project.
However, as it turns out, only Jin Jie and Tengfu could meet for the dinner first. Terence and Aaron had family dinner before hand.
As such, the three of us met up first instead. The initial plan was to have a meal at Clarke Quay. There was a Spanish restaurant that I had aimed to go for. We nearly went there for it on Aaron's birthday dinner. I met Jin Jie first as Tengfu was late. Upon finding out that there will be only 3 persons, he suggested to change venue instead. In the end, we went to Wheelock Place, Big O. We were there for a couple of hours, having each a main course and desert.
It was close to 9pm when we left the restaurant. Aaron was on his way when he suggested to go to a club at Somerset. On our way there from Wheelock, we had to make a big roundabout. The main street was filled with all sorts of people. All wanted to gather around, in hope to soak in the atmosphere. The night was simply crazy, people were practically squeezing their way through. Movement was extremely slow. After much effort, we finally met up Aaron, heading to the club opposite Specialist.
There were a few clubs. In the end, we chose Club Rouge. Guess the timing was still early, when we entered. It was absolutely quiet. It seemed that the stuff themselves have only started work too. We got our drinks and sat at a corner.
We simply spent the time chatting while awaiting for Terence to arrive. By the time he reached, it was about 11pm. By then, the crowd began to creep in. As the time drew near to midnight countdown, the music and crowd began to heat up. Minutes before midnight, I and Aaron began to go a little crazy. We started to play around with the party pops that was given to us.
Right after countdown, we began to really loosen up, fooling around. There were dancers who went up to the respective platforms to perform. One of them even danced right in front of us. I and Jin Jie simply took out hp and videoed her dance. keke...
Then they decided to head to Boat Quay to have some prata, while POOR me, i had to head back to hospital. I had planned to sleep over the night so that i could resume my work on Christmas straight away in the morning.
About 20 minutes before leaving, I and Aaron decided to pull them all to the dance floor, dancing around... WOW.. guess this is the first time that we, together, let loose in a club. However, it seems Jin Jie is really not the ones who clubs. He went out soon after claiming to pick up a phone call. He didnt came back, instead waiting for us to come our after our short dance.
As we arranged to meet outside, there were still a hug crowd roaming along the street. Many were armed with their weapon for the night, spray foams. They were spraying around, be it friends or even strangers. As we were waiting for Jin Jie to come meet us, Aaron saw a group of males "attacked" a girl with the spray. Blinding her eye with the ambush, one of the guys simply took the chance to grab one of her breast.... On my God...!!!
After seperating with them, while on my way to hospital, I was also attacked by the spray too. Darn!!! One of my eye kena hurt from it ....
I could only entered through one of the entrance. Upon reaching hospital, one of the security guards still questioned about my arrival. Luckily, after claiming that I'm one of the staff, he let me in without any further questions.
Sleeping over in the office was quite a torture. The air-con was cold and the positioning was definitely not one of the best one. I had to change a few position before settling myself on the 4 chairs that i combined. All the while, my head was spinning from the drinks that i had at the club.
Once dawn, I had to grab myself up, change accordingly and took over work from the night shift stuff.

Misunderstanding... How does it occur???
Misunderstanding... How does it occur???
Hmmm, this suddenly came to my thought. Everyone would definitely come to quite a number of misunderstanding with others, whether is it minor or major in their life.
Some may think just make sure that proper communication exist... that should help reduce misunderstanding from occuring. But how often that even two mature adults come to communicate, misunderstanding still occur.
Read in some books, they said that when people talk to each other, sometimes, listening is non-existent at all. Now, Listening and hearing has a difference. Listening is to hear and understand what message the other party is trying to convey. But then again, if u were to argue, one's understanding of a certain message may differ a lot from another. hmmm... maybe this is one cause of many unwanted misunderstandings. Or worse!!! At times misunderstanding occur when no communication was made at all. Any one party may not want to make the effort to communicate, or to clarify a certain message or meaning.
Consequences... is that things will definitely not go according to plan or some unhappy event may happen because of it. And when things went overboard, fingers will be pointing across each other, each individual arrowing mistakes or faults by the other party. But how often does one really does think it through that maybe it is themself that is to blame that caused the misunderstanding in the first place.
Guess when it comes to human involvement in any activity, there's bound to be misunderstandings to happen once in a while. That's where, human error comes in... So probably this is one area where prevention is unachievable, while knowing how to cure is crucial to keep the relationship going.

Shack Out Work Day...
Shack Out Work Day...
Today was pretty shacked out... As normal, it was 7am for work. But the previous night, i went with the guys for Aaron's birthday dinner.
Yesterday, after work, went to meet Aaron first since JJ and Tengfu were busy with stuff at school, while Terence was already in Cambodia for his community project. From 6pm, we practically walk the whole suntec/marina area, in search for a place to eat later. Aaron, in his usually self, would give loads of suggestions along the way. This la, that la... but still to no decision. Eventually, we decided to meal at Clarke Quay instead. So off we went to the riverside. There, still we spent quite some time, looking around. After much contemplating, we chose a Indian Cusine restaurant, Ivory.
It was a choice i wasnt that comfortable with initially, in fear that all the food that are too spicy for me. We arrived up to the 2nd level of the restaurant to find that its a pretty classy place to be in. There, was a long table filled with working adults, comprising mainly with Caucasians. Think they were having company dinner.
Being the first time at an Indian restaurant, we were puzzled about what to order. In the mist of it, a waiter approached me with a strong Indian accent. I could barely understand what was it that he was trying to ask. I only did manage to hear words of "cold water" between his words... keke.. then i said " of course, water for all!!"
Aaron, then asked another for recommendations on what to order. After some discussion and advise, we finally ordered some curry, fish along with rice and neaan(like prata). More than what we expected, it was a fantastic meal we had. Except for the fish, all the others had excellent taste. Jin jie had a very positive comments for the meats... Given his requirement for excellent food, this shows it is indeed highly recommended... Too bad Terence was not there to taste it.. He would hav LOVE it....
After that meal, we went to eat ice-cream. We, each ordered different types. For me, i chose to create my own. I mixed with cookies and cream, with lemon and mango, along with almond bits with aloe vera. Pretty interesting mix eh... ...
anyway, we just ate and talk, chat through the session, again touching on life, studies, career. Loads of debates were present, everyone making their point felt.
Time went by fast, as we left the place at 11plus. That's when i only got home ard 12am.. making me shacked today... with the lack of sleep...

Present Searching... ...
Present Searching... ...
Today off day... So went to get Aaron's present. Went out alone, could not get Tengfu to meet together. Our timing are all clashed, such that we can't meet to get it. No choice lor, alone get it.
I decided to head to Suntec area to search for it. Days before, Terence was suggesting to get bermudas. So today, I went searching for it.
Find ah Find ah... finally found one suitable nike bermudas. But i left it on hold first as i went to catch a movie... again alone... keke... this time went to catch Andy's Lau show, Battle of Wits-Mo Gong... Pretty cool show, where the two sides battle in out in the game of warfare. Better than expected....
Right after the show, went to get the bermudas that i aimed for. Who is to know that there is no size suitable... Aiyo... by that time, it was already quite late liao.... Shack man... That was when i am contemplating whether to get it today or get it within the next few days instead... In any case, i just walked along back to City Hall, thinking along the way. Luckily, I tried to look for more options at Raffles Place Shopping Centre. That was where i realise that there's another Nike Shop. I went to take a look. haha... there is size at the outlet. YEAH!!! After some thought and asking Tengfu, finally got the bermudas... keke...
As of now, while typing, Aaron actually called to ask if tomorrow can meet or not... Luckily, i got the stuff.. if not, must last minute get the present sure jia lat... keke...
