Olive Tree

Busy day.

Lunch @ Jack's Place.

Dinner @ Olive Tree with fella Team.

Troyes v Lyon
Relegation Troyes faces runaway leaders Lyon who is thinking of the trip to AC Milan coming tuesday. Coach has already stated he will rest some players. (remember barca's trip to malaga which ends in 0-0)

Real Zaragoza v Villarreal
Zaragoza faces Villarreal who is thinking of the visit of Inter Milan. Trailing 2-1 from the first leg @ Inter, Villarreal will hope their strikers are safe for tuesday night rather than scrapping it with Zara for points. Last 3 home games has been D-L-L, time for their fans to have something to cheer about.
Real Sociedad v Málaga
New Coach, first home game in charge, first game already lost. Need I say more?

Everton v Sunderland
A 3-1 thrashing by Liverpool playing with 10 men only. They need to whip Sunderland to repay their fans.

Newcastle v Tottenham
3 straight losses. A home game with fans screaming coupled with Tottenham patchy away form (the win @ WBA was really fortunated, not everyday sunday you know), time for shearer to be on the winning side. Tottenham was be super sian the fact that Arsenal is going to the Champs League Semi Final as if they win, there goes their fourth spot.

Fulham v Portsmouth
Fulham appears to be safe from relegation with that win over Chelsea. Portsmouth will take heart that WBA & Birmingham are struggling and try to get even a point. While Fulham is a force at home, it will be a game of who wants it more as their standards are pretty close.

Arsenal v Aston Villa
Arsenal at home. Morale is high. Villa is hit by injuries and illness, safe from relegation, too far from uefa cup spot. This is their last season @ Highbury.

Tired!

Tired!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

IBM Club Dinner

The day after a day of leave is always the busiest. I always wonder why. When I am around, nothing happens. When I am not around, work piles up. Strange...

Afternoon came and left.

Off to the PINE for dinner with IBM Club. Nice quiet place.


Many rounds of sharing followed by a couple of drinks @ Indochin...

Milan to snatch a point @ Lyon
Inter to win against Villarreal
Man Utd to win 2-0 against West HAm.

Off Day - Show me the $

Off day! But I woke up normal time and made my way to town with my thinkpad. Better don't waste my life sleeping. There is work to be done and money to be earned. Made my way to couple of banks and settled the stuff finally.

ChinaSquare Tiles by Mr Teh Tarik. Never really noticed them till today.


Bruch @ Burger King @ OCBC followed by coffee @ starbucks with Suan. That was after we checked out the IPO gals by Sunshine.


Bump around to Orchard to get couple of shirts @ ISETAN. Deal was done in less than 10 min. The sales staff was so happy. Still early and got time to spare, went over to Scotts Road to take 502 Express; it came after 15 mins, and the air con was super cold, just wonderful. It was a hot afternoon. It shot all the way to PIE within 20 mins I was @ Jurong East...

Passed by this place Jurong EAST St 24, the mirror of my Jurong West St 24, the place where some cabbies will bring me here if they did not catch my 'west'.


The 502 Express turned into a snail in Jurong, stopping at every bustop and traffic light... and they are so many of them...

Got off @ Boon Lay Place to get some stuff. Boon Lay Place really look like some mini Malaysia town...


Shower & nap for 30 mins. Changed and time for some work-out... getting 1 big ball on my tummy... Even my face feel a bit fat...

Jog along this Jalan Bahar Road...


Exhuasted...

Arsenal to win.
Barca to win.

Show me the $

Start of a brand new week... and it started with a bit of rain...

Morning went by with some work being done.

Lunch was Nasi Lemak... but today my recommendation is the Grass Jelly next to it. At 50cents a cup, its a bargain! And I had that bean curd too. 50cents! What a bargain~

Afternoon came and left...

Sped a cab home to catch some rest but end up waiting @ the coffeeshop for food, wasting my youth... (I was so close to saying keep the $, i dun want the food anymore. Bye)

Spurs to win 2 - 0 against WBA.

Sunday~

Morning Breakfast... Peace & Quiet...

Came along 2 dogs and destoryed it all with their stupid barking. Ain't pets not allowed @ coffeeshops? I can think of how dirty my seats are just by looking at them. Keep QUIET!

I shall send this picture to the dept...

1 of my 3 durian seedling.


Nice to eat place. Choa Chu Kang, opposite the old Keat Hong Camp.
The chicken wings cost $1...
The fried tofu is good too, cripsy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside.
The seafood crabs are good too.

Wkend Takes:

Sunderland v Blackburn

Blackburn to win, perhaps 2-0

Draw as both are on form

Juventus v Roma

Draw as Juventus looking ahead to Arsenal

Málaga v Barcelona

Just a 1 goal win for barcelona or Malaga may even draw as Barca not bringing star players.

Hamburg SV v Borussia Dortmund

Hamburg to win as it is time for a home win

No title

Morning was busy. Defects to investigate and close asap...

Javier sms me that he saw another pretty gal from DBS @ Hong Lim (think it was counter 8).

Went to Gim Moh to have lunch with Grandpa.


The landscape is changing... remember the days I was still @ NUS...


A mini Teh Tarik Team breakout session...

Tiring Thursday

Tired. Enough Said.

Mallorca won~ ha!

Tonight: Boro to either win or draw.

Gloomy day 2

Well..... Liverpool put 7 past Birmingham...
Barcelona won 3-1 against Gefate...
2 out of 2 last night.

Lunch was @ Sushi Tei... looks like its going to pour cats & dogs... so look for somewhere closer...
Check out the Pregnant Fish! So 'Big' compared to the size of my mini card.


Snapped a picture of the lobsters too. Big...


On way home, spotted a foreign worker from india following a sort of mental-disable gal all the way from MRT train to the bus interchange; trying to get her bag and touch her... The Ah-beng in me came alive... I walked up to the gal and ask if she knows him. She said 'No' quite scared. I turned to him and glared @ him asking him ' what u want! she doesn't know u. Move it!' One wrong move and I would really grabbed his neck and called for police. He quickly said 'no no' and disappeared into the crowd.' The young gal was quite happy, and went to join the bus queue. Stayed around till she board and ensure that that FELLA did not board before I made my way home...

Wondering... How can our home be a safer place with such people around, trying to take advantage of others? I bet others did not even pay attention to this mental-disable gal and was just trying to avoid... But me being sharp eyes and kaypo just can't stand around and do nothing... (after all, I DID want to be a policeman.) Sigh~

Chelsea to beat Newcastle... > 1 goal.
Mallorca to beat Cádiz

Gloomy Day

The day started badly...
1) The bus was late
2) The train was slow
3) Coffee was slow

Got into office hot from the rush...

Work... West Ham Won! Not bad eh =0

The day turned dark and it rained... No choice, put lunch on hold... ended up eating @ Hans...

Work... More Work...

Went to Clementi old home for dinner @ one of the most visited places while i was staying there... The famous 'cute chicken'... but the teh ice was terrible... looked like drained water... tasted like drain water...

Underworld Evolution 2 Next.

1 more day

Came into office very excited.

1) Did Boro lose by 2-1 and proceed to next round on away goal?
2) Did Seville won 2-0?

They really did... Arg... those i never think much came out the way I said. Should have put ten ten on each of them... Then today's lunch will be FOC.

Anyway waited till 1pm before I think its time for lunch... Went with my mentor... yes back to the wonderful Nasi Lemak I posted on my blog... think the stall should give me free meals... I keep bringing people back and advertise for them...

Another view of Golden Shoe


Afternoon was full of meetings... Finally finished a couple of arrows...

Midweek

Team lunch was postponed to Friday. Took the chance to change the venue to Tea House. Think its better there... 17 of us can sit around the round table instead of 2.

Lunch was NASI LEMAK! Yesterday was a side picture of the stall, in case you need a full view, here it is... it is very crowded during lunch time. Just take a look yourself.



Work...

5pm, drained. Time for a Tea Break with dear Jason. Mr Teh Tarik @ ChinaSq.

Check out the long Q @ Mr Teh Tarik!

Tired Tuesday

I had a tired morning... waiting in Q, seeing Doc, grabbing cab etc

Anyway, back to office around 12. Skipped lunch. No desire to eat.

Work... made reservation for Team Lunch tomorrow... Yan Palace...

At 5, couldn't stand it. Hungry. Came out for Tea Ice and a couple of chicken wings.
Check it out. This is one of the best Nasi Lemak I ever ate.
Goldenshoe carpark. The boss is in the picture too.
Wings cost at 80 cents each! Cheap!

Mobile Monday

Location: Gim Moh to visit Grandpa


Location: Adam Road to have Tea with Suan. Our old Hangout place while we are nus kids.

Encik Suan talking abt stock market @ Creamy Island. Hot day. The haze seems to be coming again... Wonder where is burning now...


Location: Clementi, Teck Hin CoffeeShop. Another favourite Hangout during our NUS days.

Resting Sunday

Today is not much better than yesterday. (Won 2 Kopi from Suan)

I had so much rest. Feels good...

Had a game of football @ NUS... Later end up watching NUS gals playing some other team... (They took the entire field... so we had to watch)

End up we go West Coast PArk to Play...

Think I twisted my knee a bit... Sianz......

Took a Cab home... and that TOM YAM INSTANT NOODLES. Yum.

Now wait for MAn UTd to thrash Newcastle...

Rot

This is a classical example of me wasting my entire Saturday by rotting at home.

1 Woke up late (12 noon)
2 Went for lunch.
3 Wait for Heater Installation Man. Learn a lesson on Water Pipe System @ home and Heaters.
4. Nap.
5. Jog + sit ups
6. 2 Sausages for dinner.
7. EPL. - Chelsea vs Spurs (What a waste...)
8. Predict Blackburn & Everton Win. (Stake 2 Kopi with Suan)

The sit-ups really killed me. My stomach area feels funny after doing them...

Friday

1 more day to the weekend... It has been a tiring week... must have drank too much last night. Mentally tired. Think I will go and do some running tomorrow...

Lunch was Nasi Lemak. Eat-In. Damn Hot today.

Dinner was @ west coast where I purchased a Water Heater followed by a MEe Goreng @ $2.50... I remember the times it only cost $1.5... Anyway... Sped a cab home and sleep...

Drinking Night

A slow day to start with.

Main news is Liverpool is out. YEAH! Real is out! YEAH!

Lunch was a quick quick thing followed by a trip to UOB.

Nothing much in the afternoon but worth a mention is the place where we had teabreak today.


630, we headed down to Balaclava for drinks. There was just too much to drink... headache.

Followed by a short snack @ newton.

Sometimes the simplest things in life are the hardest to get.

Woke up tired. Missed the champs league last night. Getting old... can't wake up anymore to watch... Sigh.

Was hungry... waited till 12 exactly before buzzing down to golden shoe AGAIN for NASI LEMAK... with ah gan today. Check it out. YUMMY!



After an afternoon of confusion and more confusion, made my way down to Harbour Front for Dinner. Had a mee siam which a fruit fly nosedived into the chilli... but I still ate it up...

Stopped an internet cafe for a bottle of corona beer because it was happy hour from 5-8pm. Managed to order at 755pm. But guess what... it closed @ 830pm.



Check out the night view.


Drop by Fong Seng to get a packet of Chicken Wings... and saw this! A HOLE IN THE WALL!


More champs league tonight.

No title

Today was back to Great Eastern Office.

Busy Busy Morning.

Lunch was Nasi Lemak plus a packet of milo ($2 + $0.5) only. I think I can really save a lot if i eat like this for the whole week. But I think the coconut milk will make me fat.

The smallest things in life do come back and haunt you once in a while... Arrows and Spears. I think I need an army helmet.

At 630pm, what else can be better than a cup of tea @ ah poh's? Check out the picture below.


Champs League awaits.

Duck Rice No More

Check out this picture. It was where the duck rice along Pasir Panjang Road used to be. Now its all gone and become a ??? i have no idea as well. But lots of condos here. Nice too. Not bad to get 1 unit here and stay. Singapore is really changing so fast... just a couple of years out of NUS and everything along the stretch where I used to have my snacks all changed... Boy... I'm getting old.

Lots of OT.

Man Utd to beat Wigan... Again and again and ...

Aching Sunday

I am really getting old. After a day of sentosa and late night, i slept till 12.

Uploaded all the pictures of yesterday's fun to class blog and had a light lunch.

Going to NUS later to play some soccer. It was POURING WATER @ my place when I left home..... The cab was slow as the driver can't see the road in front. No Joke. (These 2 words suddenly let me remember my JC computing Teacher Mr Yu) Passed by Teban and it was suddenly not raining.

But it was not long it hit us. I didn't play in the rain. Did not want to fall sick. A long week of work awaits. Rejoined after it stopped.



Got a sms from Javier, he is getting real pissed with his job... Not moving at all. Even OT on Weekends! Sigh, I should be glad I get a day off.

OT + Sentosa

After a morning of OT which basically just make my brain go 'deader', it was Harbour Front with the gang.

I must say, it was a very HOT day yesterday. Nevertheless, we reached there and had plently of fun and games under the sun. Didn't want to show my united nations of fats, thus the Adidas shirt was kept on...



Feet Sand Spa by the girls.


Dinner was at our 'home town' clementi, at the coffeeshop where we used to eat while we were pei tong kids... Spent an hour trying to decide where to go next... it was already 1030pm... finally it was to be Essential Brew @ Holland V. There was more crap and discussions of our upcoming chalet in june and sports in April...

It was 1+ when we left.
