Happy new year 2009!
Nope, i didn't go out today. Was dota-ing. Didn't dota for so long already and was glad i still had that little skill left. haha.
Well, had a mini countdown party at my cousin's place yesterday. About 20 ppl turned up? ultimate chicken party and extremely noisy with all the kids running around. Their screams are mind blowing, ear bleeding. Each time they scream, they completely silence off all the adult chatter. That happens for a good 5 hours. All the way from 7pm to 12am.
So everyone was playing with the kids going around acting as monsters and having the kids attempt to climb up them in the room which luckily for me was closed after the noise generated was the ultimate extreme, i finally managed to watch what i was really there for. THE TV.
I did not have SCV at home cos apparently when we tried installing it, the contractors said we couldn't cos according to the wires built in, our house was not planned for SCV. Don't know what crap technical terms those were, but we just scrapped the plan and just lived with the basic channels for a whole 10 years, since its 2009 now.
I was glued to Animal planet, how some guys tries to bring up 2 baby cheetahs from young and help to adapt them to their new potential environment. This lasted probably for only 30mins before the Wii gaming time slot came.
Should not have brought it over. Imagined watching 2 hours of pure Wii Bowling. PURE. So i just went into the room and just played with the kids.
Apparently they remember my name! Uncle Juan just sounds so pleasant. hah. Imagine them sprinting from far towards u and just ram into u and keep forcing u to carry them and do those kind of superman crap in the air. Muscle building at its best.
Other than the fun, they were kinda like a pet. haha. One of them would off the fan saying its too cold cos the air con was on too. But the heat inside the room is extreme cos the kids are ram-ing everyone in sight, mainly me and my brothers. So i will just ask them to on it for me. Ask them to put their toys back where they took it from. Good pets. Lots of fun.
By 12am everyone was shagged. My mom drank a little too much white wine cos my cousin was a wine fanatic. So she just fell aslp on the couch, my another cousin was too tired from all the watching of pure Wii bowling she went to slp too.
Fireworks sucked on TV.
So anyway, after some discussions that went on like :
Me: lets just subscribe to MIO tv, anyway we are on the trial already. ( I do not know how MIO tv works when SCV can't. dont ask me)
bro: But it costs $10+ or something.
Me: then?
Bro: u share loh.
Me: ok loh.
There. decided. LOL.
So, lets hope i can get it asap!.
Adios.

Had Dong ri/zi or something today. Heard that its only celebrated by cantonese. Its the equivalent of a New Year for cantonese.
On this occasion, its to be celebrated by eating tangyuan aka flour balls with or without fillings in it in some soup.
First time celebrating it. For past years my family didn't get to celebrate it cos its always happening on a weekday and srsly, its not a public holiday and no one has time. Yes we do eat tangyuan still, but not in the mood in which it should be.
So today's dinner at my relative's was quite filling. Had probably the best roasted duck i've eaten and i've eaten lots of em. Saw the biggest Boiled whole chicken in my life. Saw the first time LALA go unfinished. First time drank only 2 cans of Rootbeer. First time didn't ransack their fridge.
Kayla (niece) recognises me even though shes 3.
Played with my other nephews and nieces, aarun and arruna, male and female respectively. They are Indians as you can guess from their name but are currently being converted to being a full chinese, other than for their skin colour after the divorce with their indian father.
Aarun is SO much fun. He gets fooled by the simplest of magic tricks and he gets so fascinated by it he goes around performing the trick he was just taught. Even though he did it wrong, we still had a great laugh.
Have to meet group members tmr to start on the projects. Not gonna be an exciting one. Brain cracking shall begin tmr.
For now, superman returns, SUCKS.
Bye

Was feeling sickish the past few days. Got to the peak of hell yesterday. Totally cui, coughed so regularly my throat got totally inflamed. My voice turned from a originally hunky voice to a TOTALLY super duper lowwwwwwwwww and coarse voice. I even had trouble telling the auntie : Ma Ti Sui Len de, (water chestnut water, cold). I had to repeat myself!
So anyway, it got alot better. I went to dig my fridge for some lozenges and found one that looked really medical-ly, it even tasted druggy; nothing like the strepsils kind. I think that was the game changer. Woke up with zest. Good. Had to get well in time for this Sunday's relative gathering thing. Can't miss out the food.
Finally went to play about an hour of bball with edwin and weemin. The sun was unforgiving. And i was dressed in full black. Lesson to self. Don't wear black.
And apparently i just figured i can actually jump and reach the board. I didn't know that. LOL. COOL.
Was accused for finishing the packets of vitagen bought from msia by mom. Turns out it was dad who drank it all up. For all these years it has always been my dad finishing up all the new year goodies, snacks what not. NOT ME. But my mom never trusted me.
But today during dinner she admitted it was my dad, so wth. let the matter rest.
Insomnia is coming back. Its the hols now and sleeping at 5am again is the norm. This is going to be interesting. Still remb the only person awake at such time would be kks. machiam insomnia buddy like that.
Also managed to contact suzanne from BZE the previous batch who went for OSIP in vietnam. She shared some details. Some are very not appealing while, well. thats about it.
Firstly, TP has a budget of $1000 for airfare. And suzanne told me vietnam airlines is the airline we will be taking, not SIA. Like wth, the ticket over to hanoi isn't even that expensive. Like abit stingy. But at least its not jet-star -.-
Secondly, its a 6day-work week for me. Off on saturdays. Work from 12-3pm, 6-9pm. Might have USD100 per month. YES. We don't get paid for it. Think its some contract thing. But doesn't matter cos lodgings are paid for by the company, so in all fairness, it really, is, FAIR!
Thirdly, weather is awesome. It will be the spring-ish season and temperatures will average between 15 to 20, or so i heard.
But now, i will have lots of work to do. This holiday isn't even a holiday. Its just, CRAP.
outta here.

Feeling sicky.
Papers are finally over. 2 weeks of what-should-be-project-dates holiday time should HOPEFULLY be well spent on what it really is meant for.
Went out with the class yesterday. I am so tired.
In 2 weeks, i have gone to orchard 5 times. NOT FUN.
Regretted to agreeing the time to start should be immediately after paper. But judging by the amount of shopping everyone did, its like, NOT ENOUGH.
Bused down to cineleisure, ate and walked. I really meant walked. Heeren>centrepoint>Rain>cine>Rain>wisma>Lido>cine>somerset.
And finally managed to play something at e2max. Was invited to their pre-launch party donkey years(actually i think its in 2004)ago, but never got to play. Apparently people that play LAN still suck at cs. lol. Steam ftw.
Caught quarantine. I know, it sucks. I KNOW. Accompanied Joel since he was so adamant on watching that crap. Marc too. Had the nachos chips thing at the cinema. i don't know wtf was that "cheese" mixture, but i swear, it looks like vomit with orange kaya. Definitely didn't taste like cheese. The nachos are the WORST. i don't know wtf is that too.
Completely predictable movie, but still a little scary at the faces part, but ok. Joel hid under his bag. Marc blocked his ears. I, being the REAL male, just watched and laugh.
Apparently Burger King really do suck now. Ordered double beef rendang burger. CANNOT MAKE IT. 2 thin slices of onion and apparently few drips of rendang on the beef. I remember last time the rendang OVERFLOWED. wtf.
That KFC wannabe restaurant with the whatever sale of chicken or whatever that is cooked in 100% extra virgin olive oil. I dont know what is extra virgin olive oil. Seems and sounds fancy to me. But i thought it was crappy. Expensive too. standards as bad as swensens. SERIOUS!
DON'T waste ur money on that.
Famous Amos Double Choc also tasted horrible. should have got the cinammon one. Its so horrible i gobbled 50grams worth in 1min. I wanted to save those bastards eyeing my cookies from eating such nonsense. haha.
Didn't shop anything. Nothing fancied me except a shirt from timberland. Other than the $50 after discounted price tag, the quality didn't make me pleasant. I hate those kind of stretchy stretchy material. Its like, if u sweat, it will hug to ur body. FAIL.
The new kopitiam stall downstairs that supposedly was voted for some good food by some channel U program last time opened last week. Finally tried the Hokkien mee. If u eat it, i swear u might fall in love with say, the WORST thing u have ever eaten. It is THAT bad. I don't know how it won that award crap.
The best hokkien mee took 12mins to fry. I knew cos i was busy smsing.
And i swear it tasted like heaven, just like how everyone thinks when they first saw me.
The mee was slightly wet, NOT moist, mixed with the appropriate chilli, OMJUAN.
Heaven On earth, again, exact same compliment others have gave to me.
Next, i don't post pictures even though i have em. Cos im too lazy to upload.
Bought shishamo from NTUC today cos it was on promotion. 16 fishes for $4. Quite cheap. Came home and ROASTED IT ALL. Shiok. Again, Heaven on earth. Of course i didn't eat all. I'm not you.
And new washing machine is coming! can't wait. Finally, no more lint-infested clothes. NO MORE.
Btw, if you're a foreigner and u're reading this, trust me. If its your first time in Singapore and you think u've ate the BEST you can ever find in our cuisine, trust me, ITS NOT. This is because its your first time eating food with proper flavour. WE, ASIANS, have eaten food thats flavourful and actually delicious. Consult an asian as to where to eat. Don't be a dumbass and eat at some crappy coffeeshop thinking thats authentic.
Outta here.
Oh btw, do get used to OH MY JUAN. its infective. tyvm.
