Hall 5 DND X'mas dinner =)

Brown

You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

Try the test yourself! What's your true colour?

That's me! Saw this test on elay's webby and decided to try it out! =)

Surprise!!!

Entrepreneurship class is has enterprising and unexpected people!! I must mention her! Nicknamed, "Laksa"!!! 23th Dec, a day where people are rushing to complete their christmas shopping. 6 incredibly siaons entrepreneur wannabee sat down at citylink gelare talking about why are they here, this time, discussing something that they shouldn't during the festive season!
Of course, discussions were slow and hard to coordinate! The festivities just make people goes into a daze!!! Some of us seemed reluctant to do anything!!! Our dear Chief Finance Officer(CFO), Laksa was calling the shots and directing the whole show! When we were soooo BORED! Everyone's ideas was pretty much drained by the santas and rudolph music that surrounds!!
Laksa went into the ice-cream shop(Gelare)! As sneaky as ever, brought out an ice-cream cake with 2 huge and 2 small candles!! WAAA... Stun... It was pretty much everyone's reaction in the beginning... If time can quantify a spilt second... Stun can be seeen!!
It was for Hari and meee!! Happy B'day Hari... and me!! haha! This was as much as it can get! Both of us were real happy as it was really really, REALLY, UNEXPECTED!! Thank you Laksa and the people who were present that day. =) AND...
On the same day, it was Bernard's Bday! Happy B'day Berniee...














24th day... Family and I packed our stuff, went in my whitey!! And I drove... Up! Up! to Skudai and Pulai Spring Resort... Ask me why am I so excited about this? First time driving up ma!! =)
Also, it has been abt 1 yr plus since I went to a golf course! Everything was pretty much the same, except I think I am a little better than before probably because of the army training!!!??

HAHA yea right!! Anyway... It wasn't a great christmas eve morning... Breakfast was beef kuay teow!! My goodness, the kuay teow was great!! It's a small coffee shop facing the new Malaysian customs. The not so great part of the day came when I decided to swim!

Went to the pool, place of my goggles, the centre piece broke!! I took out 2 spare centre pieces, ALL BROKE!!.. WTH, it's TYR summore! Nevermind, I decided to go up to the heated jacuzzi. Open the glass door, I see 5 Ah Nehs, 5 huge ones, dominating the pool! 1 Dad and 4 sons! They practically treating the place like their own... even the place smells like their own...

Christmas dinner at the resort was great, the buffet was a sumptous spread(Turkey & stuffings, Breaded prawns, Braised duck, Milk Oysters +++) and the cakes and pastries or rather call it desert, had a variety so much it can simply replace the main dishes!!

Next day, it rained! I was suppose to play Melana course with dad... We have to wait until the afternoon and see if the weather holds up! 12 p.m., a cruel revelation as we wanted to drive to the buggy bay and unload the golf bags!! The car alarm wouldn't respond!! I wasn't able to open the car remotely! After some diagnostics, we confirm that my car has a dead battery. Don't know how, who, when, why, it went DEAD! Mom panic, Dad's cool. Ask a buggy mechanic down to fix! 5rm was the tipping damage for the quick response! Car was back alive and we were ready to go!

Everything went pretty normal with no jams at the causeway!! Smoooooth flow as we reached our humble abode! =)

I am 22 year old unk-ker!!

I felt I was like in my secondary days, days before. In a blink of an eye, the years of fun faded! The phase of adulthood is approaching my way. I have many friends working, saving up for their potential bride. And time brings us to a next stage of experience!

Getting old isn't a bad thing, but looking old is!! A simple rule of thumb should be 'you should look younger than you are'... Or thinking of having a constant age look of 25 will be a very nice thing to have! I know some "unkers" that are 30+ but look 25! Some secrets they have and probably won't reveal.

19th Dec 2005, as the longest needle of the clock hits 0000, my age increases 1 more to 22... And it's probably time to find somebody to fill the empty spaces of my life!

I have wonderful friends! 19th night is the night we go chjimes for steak and acid bar to chill... THanks for the pressies especially the customise shirt!! Everytime Ill think of the shirt, I just laugh! Haha~~ It was really unexpected a surprise! Well, I normally don't get shocked and surprised by presents because they are almost quite the same! Bags, watches, perfumes, shirts from the departmental store!! Never thought of having a fully customise shirt! It was customised from the right sleeve to left and the back. It was stunner, really and happy!! Thanks(Mic,Ade,XP, whoever involoved, WT, Nic, Elay?) for the plan and wonderful effort!
I will never forget yall b'days!! And will do my part to make it really special! =D~ especially for XP ya 21 next yr!! AUNTIE liao! =)

After so many post of pictures, I find myself lazy and decided to do what elayne has done for her blog... Collage!! Pictures are large enough to be seen, not examined! =)





















Cheers!

Ministry of Sound, Penang Food and Bike re-orientation!

ALright! It had been 3 happening days... Private party invite to MoS was a bang for party goers! And I am very sure, very sure that alot of people cheat by forwarding SMS to people to gain free entry! Thats what we did and it worked very well! Although the club opens at 9pm, when we were there at 9.30pm the queue snaked far behind across the roads! It took use 2 hours to queue, and finally got in at around 11pm...

Although there were some rowdy people behind our back, it didn't dampen the mood!! It all happens that some of my friend's friend came back and thought of joining the queue from there, and these bastards just murmur behind our backs, if they dare just say it out loud, gutless boys!!!! These people smoke, talk and think they are some ah seah kia!! Even they are ah seahs, I give a dam, they don't seem to have a good upbringing and future. Low lifers!!

Anyway, the place is amazing! nicely decor with lovely split rooms providing different genres to different clubbers taste! My favourite was the white "ipod" style room that plays House music!! Fantastic I must say! 2nd on the list is trance floor!!! 3rd was the austin powers like retro room(BOGEY!!)!! yayE!! I feel young agaiN!!... Our day ended at 2a.m. with some prata further down at M.S. where the clubs seems totally DEAD!! And from my perspective, I feel that MoS is going to take over the clubbing scene, with careful planning of the franchiser LifeBrandz...
1) Good location
2) Parking space
3) Cater to wide variety
4) Branding
They achieved all the above and I think they can make it very very big from a business standpoint.
Cheers for the great place/ Land mark that Singapore now has =) CHEERS!!
1) Long queue!
2) Party mates








18th Dec, my dad suddenly propose to go down OCC for their penang dinner fair! Yep, as usual, a buffet that is packed with people!! The best thing was that they fry, make, cook on demand!! The bad thing was, due to mass production, quality suffers!!
My favourites are the Penang char kuay teo, putuh mayang and Ice Kachang!!!
It has been a long time since I ate thin fried chilli coated char kuay teow!! The taste and smell is totally different compared to our normal chinese char kuay teow!!
Putuh Mayang is suppose to be you white beehoon with orange sugar? But no!! This place makes green bee hoon with fine brown sugar, banana and pineapple slice!! It's very very good!! Yummy =) The best thing is that the putuh is hand made!! There is this wooden jig that the indian used!!...
All of the chefs comes from penang road side stalls and were invited to showcase their foods in this fair!! It's still on now until the 26th of Dec at Vanda Orchid Country Club...











1) Mr Char Kuay Teow
2) Mr Bee Chang Kuey
3) Mr. Mee Goreng

Haven been cycling for so long, my legs felt so itchy last night... I smsed Vic~ and he replied okay for this morning coastal route ride!! My cycling buddy last time is so into his NUS activites he probably forgotten about me!!! Sad right!! Ok~~ We started off late at 10PM.. nothing much to talk about!! Th picture says all!! It was a slow orientation ride before I will start training for next year's Duathlon! March I think? Cross training will be good for now before the IHG road relay starts during the coming January!













1) Audrette's no more a virgin when it comes to carrying a bike!
2) Check Point 1 (East Coast Park Carpark G) (High tide at ECP)
3) Vic fixing the rubbing on the Disc Guards
4) Small bike on a big gate!! Read the words!! I might be prosecuted!
5) Destination Changi Village... (I conclude that old indian uncles don't know how to use a camera phone! It took us few minutes to teach him!)

Langkawi Aerospace Trip 2005

Lima Aerospace Exhibitions DSLR

Langkawi Trip DigiCam
http://www.pbase.com/aerolkw/vinny

Just came back from a rough ride this morning..
We "landed" at golden mile shopping centre at about 9AM.
Quite late! Unfortunate incidents happened along the bus journey.
1st, the bus driver was angry about us taking too long on our dinner.
2nd, a friend of mine lost his wallet in msia!!
We all hope some kind msian will return his possessions to him!
The moment we reach, I took a cab back home, trying to unload all the pictures from the cam to the web... moments later a msn mobilisation tell me to be in school 1PM immediately for project discussion!
WtH!! i hurried back to school... After that, time flew! 5 P.M. I rushed back to my hall and prepared for IHG road relay training!!
Long long day without proper sleep.. and I am still typing this.

Summary of thoughts

• The trip except for the bus journey was fun!
• Lima exhitbition was much of a disappointment if you have experienced how Asian aerospace conducted themselves all this years!
• Seafood at langkawi is CHEAP and SEDAP! 30 rm a person you get!

1X Black pepper Crab
2X Soft Shell Crab
1X Butter prawns
1X Calamari Equivilance
1X Beef slices
1X Orange Sauce Chicken
1X Langkawi tofu
1X Sweet and sour chicken
1X Chilli Kang kong

• Never buy liquor from any parts of malaysia unless you are prepared to pay 30 SGD for the import duty (cheaper still) =)
• If you are not accustom to live in a kampong, please so not go to Resort Beringin in Langkawi.
• Life is slow, laid back, and if you are a foreigner you are richer... I heard everything in Langkawi is DFS, even cars are so much cheaper! May be one can buy a ferrari there!
• Langkawi is more of a malay town, try to learn some malay before going over.
  

ellO! another DIY weekend!! most probably my last for the year!!

Last night!! what a coincidence!! I down to autobacs after school and to my surprice I saw michael's car in one of the parking spaces! I didn't expect to see anyone I know... Well, from there I bought car sponge, metallic antenna and anti slip mat!! nothing much actually!! Michaels vehicle was in pretty bad shape from the back!! I know! lady drivers right?!! /tsk tsk!! lolX!!!
Ugly uglYY... =P








Woke up this early morning, fine weather! I thought it might be a good day for cycling!! But I have a backlog of stuff to do! Sound proofing the rear doors was one of them!! I have to start working on my 3 pieces of cable hunter SP material which bought online for 70 dollars!! What a deal! =] All in all, I spent 3-4 pain staking hours doing and refining every detail of the SP material!~.. yes and I was slow.. taking my time to measure and cut...!
Took out loads of news paper and lay it out on the floor. For templates, I use Urban newspaper(wednesday issue), which have a size just right for measuring the doors! I placed the newspaper into the door, fold to the shape it fits and get back, using it as a template to cut out the sound proofing piece!
It took many toos and fros and I think I had spent quite good effort on it, piecing the puzzle making it as neat and compact as possible...






yepS! I did abit of the floorpan because I still had about 3/4 piece of SP material left!, So I shared the 3/4 at both sides!! ANd really! now I can't feel the vibes of the bare metal below the accelerator no more!! It's definately not a placebo!. Upon removing the carpet, I must say that Toyota has done a great job SPing the floorpan, they have lots of boxed styrofoams and wooly SP material below your feet! Tom Yam Car isn't that bad afterall! =]
The last picture was a bad job done by AE where I installed by sound system... Installation had been good and professional, but they had overlook on the mid bass rattle in my car~, remove some unwanted plastic of the plastic door and placed it back as good as new!!
Now.. My hand are full of scratches!! thanks to the sharp edge of the metal doors!! It shreds the same like paper cut!! ouch!!


Back from Poh Heng with nice whites!! I think except for the rim caps, it looks pretty alright right? They don't look really compatible to me!! I need some of your comments!! Can be a critic too! Don't worry about me! I need honest comments!!
I chose white because I didn't want it to become a fierce vehicle.. Like every other car on the street that wanna be fierce(sorry). I saw nice SSW black matt rims that will look real aggressive... I decided to tame mine with white...
It's a taiwan rim, from TOP Racing, no money really =~ from the pocket okay!!
It comes with Falken ST115 performance tyres for an additional 50 bucks!!

I had these tyres on my list
Eagle F1 --- cannot suit my budget
BF GoodRich --- bad for SP, real noisy tyres
Bridgestone G3 --- wanted to ask but too late! they had installed the falkens!!
Pilot Preceda --- Had this in mind all along in the first place, but Justin told me that they are made in thailand(tom yam) and I had for fork out additional 100 bucks!! WTH!!
Falken ST115 --- I chose this because it's Justin recommendation and also the tyres are made in japan!! So far so good.. it's quiter than my old stock Eagle NCT 5 =]

Professor Dan and the rising 6!!

I have to dedicate this sentence to prof dan for his care and concern on our academic studies and the treat at Cafe Hard Rock last night! From all of us, Thank you professor. Sorry for making yall wait!

Attendence without absence : Weihong, Si Han. Bing Feng, Ling Ying, Zhao Ling

Okay!! Last night was quite an exciting night for some of the aero people! Can you believe this? Your university professor arranging a meeting at a posh cafe by himself with the intention to treat?!!!!?? I know some professors who do not even wish to answer questions in the tutoring group, not even talking about them opening their consultation hours to us! The few of us (I think we shld have 2 more people was suppose to join us) was really fortunate to have him as our mentor... Yes I mean really!! =]

I decided to throw away this image thing and decided to get myself the BBQ ribs. Except for the presentation of the dish, it was quite nice~. BBQ sauce was able to penetrate just a little of the ribs and the inside the taste of smoked and texture of alittle fat accompanied by fine strands of meat can really makes someones day!! Side dish wasn't too fantastic~ Fries the norm, coleslaw and some nuts mixture <<-- don't know what it's called!
The live band was from indonesia~ Not being too harsh on them, their equipments and singing ability is just average. It's just probably one of those unpopular nights when these "bands" actually get a chance in the limelight. A big contrast the night before at walas which literaly blew some of us away!

The night ended rather prematurely with the introduction of dan's special friend =]! We screened her for you dan! From my POV, I think shes very nice(if ya reading this). And just to let out a little secret, she asked about you~ =] Of course, we can't say anything bad about you!! Night ended well, Everyone left for home except for Wei Hong and Me...

Went meet up with 2 pals in orchard before we proceed down to club momo to party. It was quite a surprise to see angeline of our entre class down there(momo)! Going in wasn't a pleasant experience, music was over booming loud... you can feel the low frequency vibrations and the music sounded very flat! It was so much unpleasant to the ears. Music started off very slowly, with some moments of nice never aging tracks and idling beats. Climax was at 2am when they really played recent hits from madonna, modjo, black eye peas... It sounded more like a club that sided the Black eye peas... They were playing many of their tracks. Overall it was just an average experience, the songs weren't there to spark of anything. The beats were pretty off~ And the crowd varies quite widely. You see young boys to middle aged man~. It's like a rojak pot!

We ended the activity at around 3am, and jeff suggested that we eating the "famous" porridge, just probably it closes late, we classify them as famous!!! It wasn't that nice anyway... it was too salty!! or may be i didn't order their claypot, which is suppose to be their specialty!!

Took off shoes at 4.45 am, dreamland by 5... =] Thanks for reading haha!

(sorry for the badly taken shots, they are under very poor lighting)

Thank you prof for the picture!

(Left) (Bar top dancers rappin!!) Yo! Yo! yO!!
