Dreams Shattered :)

Just now at about 10.30pm, I was sleeping like a child on my dear's bed when my HP rang.

The other side of the phone goes;

"Hello, Raymond here. Tmr got people take urgent leave, so need men to help cover his duty"

That's it. My off day is going to be burnt. After some consideration, I decided to cover the whole shift instead of two person to cover 6 hours each. And so me and my dear's dreams had been shattered. Ya, we had wanted to go eat Pizza Hut cheeze pizza. So that's goes our plan. But no choice, work more important, no work where got money to go Pizza Hut? Anyway, my dear is very understanding one... she can wait for her pizza :)

Saying Goodbye!

Sometimes, most of the time, saying goodbye is one of a sad, sometimes depressing thing. Today, I just said goodbye too. Yah, I said goodbye to my good old MONEY! Darn it, today spent another $400 on my car. Send my blacky for 40K servicing. I tot $300 should be enough, but then I need to change my wiper, do tyre rotation and balancing, change to a better engine oil and etc etc.... but well, that's what car owner had to do. Pay to service your ride. But, at least now I can feel that my ride is much smoother now.

But wait, my heart almost jumped up when I saw the mechanic washing my car!! Darn, I din know that they will be so nice to wash my car. Just case you all dun know, I sent my car for polish and I will only allow them to wash my car. Why? Because, my car is black in color and the normal cloth we use to wash / dry the car will leave behind slight scratch marks. So my car cannot be dried using a cloth. My car need to be blow-dry! But lucky, the damage is not that bad as I tot... anyway, I will be going for another polish soon.. hee....

Hmmmm.... I think today I will let my dear knows about my blog liao.. ha...

Ok.. rain has stopped. My dear waiting for me.....

Broke, totally!

July 12th is the day whereby civil servants around Singapore received their mid-year bonus, including me. However, as all we know, once the government give you something, you will NORMALLY will have to return the amount, doubled, even tripled! Well, at least that happened to me. Soon after July 12, I got my statement from IRAS. Yah lah.... time to pay tax..... and days after that, letter from LTA.... yah man.. its that time of the year again... time to settle my road tax. So that goes my July bonus... But wait, there is still the car insurance to settle... What the...

July is always one of the month, civil servant look forward to, but for me, a month that means paying and paying. But what to do, wanna drive, got to pay... no complain. Anyway, complain also no use, still got to pay and pay. Haha... that's life.. And so, I am broke, totally.

Today, 24 July 2006, the turning point of my dear's life. Her first day as a teacher. Wish her all the best in her new career......

My Blog, my day

Well, it had been about a week since the birth of my own blog. And yah, I am still resisting the temptation of telling my dear that i had my own blog. Haha... wonder how she will react when she realised an old man like me will start a blog... If you are reading this and you wanna know the reason why I started this blog, go read my first post.

So today spent most of my time at TTSH. Was there with my dad and mum to see the the Eye Dr. Arrived there at about 2pm and left there at 6.30pm. And guess what, the carpark fees is darn si bei the expensive. I paid $9.20/- for that bloody 4 hrs at TTSH... Diu! Well, we are actually the last patient to leave.. Darn what a long wait. But at least the nurse who serve us last is very good. She said I made a good choice by not going into nursing.. ha.. My dad told her I got a dip in nursing, you see. And another coincidence thing is that another nurse there is actually an ex-police officer.. ha.... what a small world, or rather, what a small Singapore..

After the hospital visit, went to sleep early but only to wake up in the middle of the nite to surf the net.. wat a hot day.. and yah, tmr is another day at TTSH.. dad needs to undergo some test before his cataract day surgery....

Its finally over!!

Thanks God, it is finally over!!

Yah, I am refering to the World Cup 2006! No more World Cup means no more late nights... Yah I do need to catch up with my sleep. Had been spending too much time watching some crap football. Yah, the matches that I had watched had been mostly crap. Why? Well, of course I lost my bet on all these matches! Darn! Still, I still got a overall winning of about $300. Thanks Singapore Pools!

Seriously, the standard of this WC is not that high. What had happened to Brazil, you all know. Their best match is when they fielded their reserve players against Japan. What disappointment and letdown by players like Kaka, Ronadinho, who are suppose to light up this WC. Too bad they got beaten by an elderly France powered by the irreplacable Zinedine Zidane. Score a goal and close shop. That's seems to work most of the time...

Oh yah.... Zinedine Zidane... ha... what a glorious end to his international career. Scored a goal from a penalty in the Final VS Italy and then scored another great head-butt on Italy defender Marco Materazzi which earns him the RED card. What a good of action that certainly the most interesting part of the match... ha... what a great end to his career......

So no more World Cup, what's next?? Of cos the EPL!!!! Come on Gunners, you can do it...

Dinner at Bugis

Today I worn my new T-shirt and 3/4 berms I brought from Hong Kong. The Tee is a Hard Rock Tee and the berms is in a flowery pink.. My dear say that I look so cute and so hip....

Well, back to topic... dinner at Bugis...

Dinner is fine, at a Chinese/Thai resturant somewhere in Bugis... As usual can't finished the food... Hungry people always order more than what we really need.. But the food consider not too ex... $12 per pax for each 6 of us...

After dinner, walk to Sim Lim Square and happen to see Gab... wat an coincidence... talk to him and felt bad for him. Felt bad cos we din invite him for the dinner. Well, he is abit weird but in my eyes he is still a nice guy who treats his friends well. I maybe wrong, but this is what I felt....

First post

Blogging.

Why start blogging now when the craze is now on "video-blogging"?

Well, an article in "Mind Your Body" I read while I was doing my business by the editor Sharon changed my mind. She wrote that as she aged, her memory starts to fails her and she could not remember some of the things that had happened in her life. Lucky for her, she had kept a diary for the past 19 years.

I was thinking, it must be really pathetic and even sad to even think that my memory could failed me one day. I would not want to forget my past, my happy times, my childhood, my school days and my time with my family and my dear. Thus, I decided that I should start this blog of mine. Not to draw the number of viewerships, but rather as a backup to my memory. Who knows what will happen right? Nothing is certain in this world that is full of uncertainities. So it is never too late to start my own blog.

How much will I blog? I do not know myself. This could well be mine first and final posting. Or this could be the beginnering of many entries..........
