Party frenzy

Alright, I've been to 2 gatherings/party just over a short weekend like this.
Friday, 10th Oct was Daniel's birthday and he invited us, Delta Dogs of Platoon 10 over to his place for BBQ and swim. Unfortunately not everyone turned up, but the main characters are there: Ah Soon, Daryl, Euston, GL Tiong, Teck heng, Ham ham, Daniel, his cousin and myself. Euston and Daryl marinated and prepared the food while I cook 'em. The mediterranean seafood platter made by Euston always tasted the finest. Even the marinated Salmon that's grilled tasted so good. Followed by consecutive waves of chicken wings and franks. We had some whisky and gin to go along with the food... by the poolside... superb...
I asked Daniel to bring us shorts so that I could have a dip in the pool while drinkin' my whisky cola in there... Spendid baby!

11 Oct, Saturday, my buddy Anna invited me over to her humble crib at Admiralty. It was her brother's place though, but she held her Hari Raya party there. Her brother's place was sexily renovated and the apartment look sophisticated. I did not show up for 2 consecutive years since 2006 which makes me kinda guilty as she solely invited me only from the whole damn gang whom she accquainted with back then. Well what can I say, she's my buddy and she always wanted me to come over and join her and her family for a meal at a special occasion like this. Finally got to see her mum which I almost asked her to cook some mee goreng on impulse... LOL... Her mum's cooking is awesome! Even snacks made by her taste exceptionally good! Was hanging around and observing her besties, friends and her brother. Seems like I'm the only Chink there but that don't bother me much... I was entertained by the good food and her warm hospitality though she's damn busy. Well thanks bud for the sumptous food and drinks ya :)

Small world

Lately I've been meeting people whom I've had not met for many years on the streets or at some very unforeseen places. Everybody's response was somewhat the same like "Oh my god! Ah pang! What happened to you? You looked like you've lost lotsa weight!" I will give the usual puzzled look "Oh have I?"
Yesterday I went for a long awaited swim at Safra Tampines and met Rocky my BMT platoon mate in Tekong. I was heading to the life guard room to get some 20 cents change and this guy came out and said, "Sorry we've ran out of 20 cents." And he started scrutinizing me up and down and focus on the tiger tatoo on my right arm and said "Tiger Pang!(that's what people used to call me in BMT then) What the hell are you doing here? You ho seh boh?!...." and stuffs like that... He was a part time life guard there...
Prior to that I saw Ashwin my poly classmate, riding a bicycle down the pedestrian lane... He was kinda far away for me to even say "Hi"
Next up went to meet Caleb in Bugis. I saw Weijie the Canon promoter which was kinda a usual regular there but I saw Man Ho Ki as well... That cranky fellow who never fails to pull stunts during my days in Delta Coy, 30 SCE.
After our usual KOF games, me and Caleb head down for some desserts and drinks. We talked for almost the whole night about his personal stuffs that I shall not disclose for this journal is not totally password protected. We had a drink or 2 and head home after that... He had many thoughts in his mind yet to be cleared but it will take some time...
Back then in secondary school, we share common interests in games and hobbies. Right now, both of us had something new that bonds us together... Chicks and more chicks... Cheers to the evolution of heart-broken boys to nonchalent men...
Saw Elaine and Cara while working at my booth at Airport T1. Elaine and Cara are Jessie's friends. They called me from the back but it took me quite sometime to recognise them and recall their names. LOL. Can't be helped, just acquaintances...
Its a small world after all... its a small small world...

Bad market

The economy is goddamn bad... My payout is getting more and more like "ice cream" despite aggressive work performance. And my morale very low low low low low.... Well can't be help. Seems like the market gonna get worse...
I'm starting to miss the food at Zion Road. Though the food at airport staff canteen is cheap... But the food at Zion Food center is so much exotic... I miss the days of being aggressive due to strong competition when I'm with Edmund and 'lady boss' Jolene. The work environment at Airport T1 is so peaceful... Not much challenge at all... I would say... I'm just there to kill time... Sheeeshh...

Nostalgia...

Been catchin' up with "oldies" lately. Met my old NAFA cliques, 2006 1P of 2 years back last Friday 03rd Oct. Daphne, Eileen and Kin actually came down to my workplace to find me. How gung ho of them. LOL! Everyone was pretty much the same... Daphne still had this kinda curfew goin' on for her and she can't really stay out late. Eileen now drives a small lil' Hyundai and workin' for her dad. Kin is still that tall gentlemen who merge well with both sexes. As for Marc, he's very into gaming like always and will priotize gaming more than anything else, that explains why he's late when he met us. Which was after Eileen, Daphne, Kin and me had our coffee/snackin' sessions... Gosh...
Daphne gotta leave first, so they wanna take a group pic, as its goddamn hard to get the good 'O five of us together. You know wharramean... They are thinkin' of ways to get all five into the photo but I just strut my way to a group of tertiary kids and told them that I want them to help take our picture. They said that "Ah Pang is very daring nowadays..." I just shrugged my shoulders and said "Do what you think is right without 2nd thoughts. Procrastinate further, opportunities will just slipped by." Had our pictures taken, left with Eileen, Kin, Marc and myself. And there we go thinkin' of places to go again. I just said go to the nearby 711 and grab some drinks sit around and talk. We need to catch up more than anything else. So we talked till about 12am and Eileen had this kinda curfew whereby its her own self proclaimed curfew. She gotta get home reason being she got work the following day and her dad isn't really happy with her staying overnight out for the past few days. Subsequently, left the boys. We walked to Selegie to have some lan gaming like the good O' days before we head home... It was good...
5th Oct was my last day at Great World Best Denki. From 6th Oct onwards I'm gonna be at the airport where sales is pretty "ice cream"... Sigh... Well seems like I'm gonna leave another place that I've got affections for. Great world was great. I'll miss workin' with lady boss Jolene though she's notorious but she really protects me and motivates me to do sales. I could never imagine how am I gonna hit such high figure without her stringent motivation. And of coz Edmund as well, my counterpart who always share jokes with me whenever there's no customers to hit. Reserved yet very chatty fellow when he opens up. Goddamn nice dude without ulterior intentions. Not to mention the staffs of Great world best denki and the weekly Viera Chicks... The chicken rice/western stall at Zion good center.... Well if fate prevails, I'll see them soon again. Its been really nice...
Met my Delta Dogs again yesterday! Sometimes I'm hesitant to meet them coz they're always very fickle minded when deciding where to go. Met them in Town anyway. After some procrastinations on where to eat and being black listed by some eatery joints. We settled at Hip Diner's USA. Euston gotta look for some coolio shoes at Far East. And after which we head down to Acid Bar, which some of them aren't really keen on live band.
After Acid Bar we went to check out some really sleazy Japanese bars at Meridien and it sucks big time. Japanese ktv with Chinese ladies workin' in there? Doesn't seem right huh? Some of the bars claimed that its for Japanese only. Then... I saw them usherin' a nigger in there. Oh yea... Japanese nigger huh? Up yours... Johan was with us. He just got his hairstyling job and its rare that he did not stayed out late with us coz he mentioned that he can't be late for work. Goodness gracious! Keep it up brudder!
We decide to just leave and they suggested going to another bar again at Prinsep street... Oh well, thank god its my off today and I just kinda agree. Drank till goddamn late at subsequent 2 more places... Ah soon(Guan Soon) was coaxing Daryl and Euston to stay on longer but they said they have driving lessons at 12.45pm today. I was like what?! 12 fuckin' 45pm? Hey c'mon, I've got work sometimes at 10.30 am and I'll just hang out till 4 am. Ah Soon suddenly exclaimed "Yes! During Crescendo, when everybody all knocked out and even the commanders, only Ah Pang stayed up and help me with the charges to detonate the UXO. He pass me black tape and followed me!" They were kinda like speechless... Well c'mon that's some shit in the suck. Now we're outta it. So fark it man... Ah Soon later commented on me... He said that people like me is "steady" and will go far in life. Well... I've farked up life up more than enough. These days I love to win and do best in whatever I do... So yea... To keep myself happy, I gotta win and excel...

F1 fever; Racing forever

My spicy lil' friend and me @ the Motorshow 2008
(damn I looked flustered and stiff)

Been goddamn busy with unofficial and official stuffs lately, damn... Finally I've got the time to put down in summary of my happenings and encounters for the past several days. Here goes...

Last weekend 27th & 28th Sept, J. Alba was here with us again and erm... pretty much the same, met Elgene at Timbre after work and caught the "Goodfellas" in the house again. Sunday that Elgene boy came to visit me at work which was kinda busy but good. At the same time he caught a glimpse of J. Alba and said that she's pretty decent.

Monday, 29th Sept... This mofo, I guess he's Nico Rosberg Williams came into the store which we had an autograph session organized for him and his fans. It was kinda uncalled for. But I took back my words when I saw him and learnt about him. He came in 2nd place for the F1 night race that took place here the previous day. I was thinking to myself if I even have half of his looks, I'll be a chick magnet for sure. Funny thing was the customers in the store don't really give a fark about his appearance and most of the staffs are joining his group of fans taking pictures and getting random items autographed by him. I kinda joined in the frenzy and snapped a couple of pictures. Jolene tried to be funny yet with a hint of rationale by detaching her mobile back cover and let him autograph the underneath. I was like "what the?!?"

Went jamming with Mizie(good 'O guitarist), Timmy and Daniel after work at beat merchants. It was kinda impromptu anyway. I met Caleb with Timmy after the jam at Bugis where we had some drinks and chit chat session till first light... yea no shit... By then I was already knocked out on the table and left for home to try catch a lil' sleep... Yea doesn't matter... its my off day anyway...
Tuesday 30th Sept, Jolene can't grant my off on friday and it gotta be on this day. Sucks dog penis man... Had a few hours of sleep and thought that I should be doing somethin' instead of sleepin' Anyway better head down to the Motorshow 2008 before I miss further chances as I'm a really busy person these days. Like always, I made my way down there alone. Was snapping pictures of some cool rides though most are commercial cars. I heard someone callin' my name from the back and realised its J. Alba! Oh man! She's a race queen for this show! I was kinda flustered and before responding to her, I randomly snapped some really ugly lookin' cars many times and turned around and said "Hey... hi..." She was teasing me if I took an MC today coz she thought that I'm comin' to the show on Friday. So I explained my crappy situation and she kinda like told me how's things goin' for her...
Frankly, the motor show sucks big time. Cars ain't many variety, and like J. Alba said the race chicks here ain't any good. She was browsing my camera if there's any race girl being snapped by me but none... only cars. She was saying that I'm "kns" and wondering if I'm gay... hahaha I don't give a flying fark... So I was tellin' her like "Hey you want me to snapped some chicks pix huh? Let's just start off with you..." Yea I know she wasn't really in a good mood but she did not hesitate havin' a picture with me. Damn I was really stiff beside her... Guess that's the only way to keep my composure... Alright Sky Pang, you ain't a qualified chick magnet yet... face it... Oh yea, till I saw the stunt show by a father and son duo doing stunts on a couple of Subaru Impreza, I was pretty satisfied that the 8 bucks entrance fee was worth the payment. Here's some pics and vids of the motor/stunt shows:
(Be stunned by their stunts!! Only permitted to those with this fluorescent green tag! Anyway I'm home tryin' to get my rabbit to perform some rodent stunts)
