Queit Weekend and my NEW NEPHEW !!!

Had a pretty quiet and normal weekend to be honest...

Friday
Was out with wl, ys and zp in town for supper after the Salsa Class. I hoenstly think I am too robotic to dance... hahaha Everytime we rotate the lady dancers, my comment would be "Your hands are too stiff...." or something like that...

lolz

Anyhow, we initally wanted to go Timbre, but ended up at OVEREASY in One Fullerton. As I have always felt, it's an ideal place to chill where the music isnt that loud and the crowd is good !

Saturday
Was a homely boy ! Haha
Had a family outing at my place - my nephew is 1 month's old !
here are some of his pics from fb:





Cute right... ? =]
Only thing is I am an uncle to one more person now... |||
hahaha

And met up with Ling, KJ and Keet for dinner at lot 1. It's Ling's bdae !!
Happy Birthday Ling !!! =)

Sunday
Usual bball practice in the morning.
After that, was on a mission at NTU mart to buy some supplies for my office in Tuboscope. Once I get everything sorted out, I will post the pics hey...

And of course run some other errands here and there...


Next Week ??
Counting drill pipes for the week and learning about inspections procedure through reading....

BBQ on friday... might leave early though if it started early.. so that I wont miss my Salsa Class..

Oh Well, another week to look forward to....

Carlos Tevez Saga

What an a$$hole this guy is, bad mouthing his previous employers ever since the day he decided he was not returning… I mean I don’t really know what happened behind the scenes bet he and his previous employers, to show to the whole world that you are revengeful over an “unsuitable” fit in the team tells a lot about his character. Thus, I conclude – he is at most a high-priced squad member, nothing more than that, especially in a big club !


When the going gets though, the though gets going… if I were a potential hiring manager, I would immediately write him off my wish list, despite his talents. Besides other than his pace and work rate, he is really not that prolific in front of the goals or versatile be a playmaker. And he is a pu$$y lah…. Be a man and admit you went for the riches in Man City instead of blaming it on something that you could perhaps have done better.

Gareth Barry went for the riches too, but hey at least he didn’t slap Aston Villa in the face by defaming them. Despite his abysmal decision that triggered a fury from the A V fans, I thought he kept his transfer quite a low profile matter.

Carlos Tevez - Sick and tired of his NONSENSE already… lolz
Hopefully Man City don’t face a relegation battle man…. Oops…. =) Btw... just did a check Man City has 10 strikers if you considered Adebayor anticipated arrival... Robinho, Bellamy, Santa Cruz, Benjani, etc... its like stepping outta a cesspool to jump into an abyss of shit... wahahahaha

Gd luck, pls dont whine when you arent given first team football... lolz


P.S: Is it a common trait in Argentinean players to come up with this nonsense, because another player came to my mind ? No guesses… I am thinking of Gabriel Heinze… hahaha

Our Ungracious Younger Generations....

Chanced upon this scene during the busy hours on a Saturday Afternoon...


I thought this is a good representation of the younger generations these days... but my argument may be a little skewed cos the 2 boys are tiongs to begin with. Nevertheless, I see this quite often on the trains these days(Drey will prob agree with me on this too...).

Reminds me of Jacky Chan's comment which caused some unhappiness among Singaporeans... well I tink that we ought to look at ourselves before we become defensive and retort these comments. It's a known fact that Singaporeans are not the most gracious batch of people. As much as Western culture is not considered a moral template, I must admit that Westerners are generally more gracious than us.

Which brings me to my next question, is this a result of different cultural clashes, our laxing educational system, softening parents, some ungracious people or a combination of the aforementioned ?

Very sad....

A Little EQ helps in Cyberspace ...

Had this thought after hanging out with Yaosheng for a bit this week:

I really think that writing something w/o thinking through in the first place is bad enough already... but writing that and then locking the blog site is like trying to say "Yeah I am going to write what I feel like writing and I am not going to change it..."


I understand the school of thought some pple have that blogging is a very personal thingy. However, if it is so personal y leave it online ? Leave the story in a diary of some sort and one can have all the later years to look through and recall... isnt having a blog online is to share your thoughts with the readers ?

Sheesh...

With that in mind, I also feel the owest is on the writer himself/herself to have some consideration on the implication(s) of each post. Writing something that could be hurtful to others directly is a no no for me... and i feel that it shows a great deal of low EQ...


Oh well who am I to judge ppl anyway... hahaha

One kinda rice feeds all kinds of ppl... makes the world more colorful isnt it ?

=)

Transformers – The Revenge of the Fallen

Caught the movie with Ah Shun and gang. Great movie with fantastic CG, toppled with a fascinating storyline. Okay, I am biased because I am a Transformers fan… hahaha


The Decepticons do look a little gross though… especially the scene where Megatron was talking to The Fallen; the dead Decepticon infant…. Yieeew…. Anyhow, despite the great cast, I was disappointed with the portray of JetFire.

This is the JetFire that is from the comics:

And this is the one in the movie:

At the very least, Jetfire should look like this:


I am a JetFire fan since I became a fan; I am disappointed that he is depicted to be an old Cybertronian Blackbird, and he even had a walking stick to go with his robot form... wtf !! But they did depict him in accordance with the actual story:

1) He was once a Decepticon back in the Cybertronian days, and he used to be Star Scream’s pal until he decided to switch sides to the Autobots.

2) He has lotsa wisdom, having been quite a leader in Cybertron along side Optimus Prime.

3) He can fuse with Optimus Prime in recent Transformers series.

It’s a selfish wish on my part, but I am really hoping he gets reformatted next movie (if there is any). And also, if possible, show Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod. Also, I wish to see the battle between Trypticon and Metroplex, or even Sky Lynx and Blasters.



Transformers – The Revenge of the Fallen is a must watch most definitely!

NOV Tuboscope

I am joing Tuboscope as of 5th July 2009.


Tuboscope is a business unit under National Oilwell Varco (NOV) handling all the piping services like Inspection and Coating, and other drill pipe related services.

When I say pipes, it meant drill pipes. They are long huge columns of hollow metal rods that form the external wall when the drilling process is taking place underground. So for those of you who asked if I could help out with your daily plumbering... you guys think too much !! hahaha

Seriously, I think this may not be the cleanest job, but with a great boss and great prospect, this is a career that I will embark myself on; I am pretty sure I will try my very best to learn and love what I am doing.

Getting Hitched... and Procrastination

There has been lotsa things in my 26 years of life that I think I would have direct control over.

But for the affairs of the heart, it is definitely something that confuses me even till now.

This thought started to linger around these days when my colleague has been encouraging me to get hitched soon. He even laments that he doesnt see anything wrong in getting to know people from say the internet or any other source. I totally understood his point about broadening your social circle and I agree with that too. As for internet making frens... maybe not... hahaha

But somehow, this lingering feeling that relationships are so unpredictable that I think I am fearful of it too sometimes... haiiz... dunno y suddenly so emo after this same colleague just reiterate to me the importance of getting hitched.

Perhaps I am just bad at it afterall.

------------------------------------------------------------------

It's my bad habit, never giving up hope until the very last minute. But this time round, I am for sure gonna let it hang there for a while. When only 1 side is trying to make an effort, how to let the project proceed ... ?

"Procrastination kills the day" .... never appreciate this statement until these days.
