Met up with Bryan, Xueli and the 3 Mohawk Warriors, Mic, Lek and Guanhong. They have just had their PoP(passing out parade) the day before and will be free for the coming week. Congrats bros..
We went to cineleisure to catch a movie. I was hoping to see dodgeball but lek had already seen it so we decided on Saved!. I didn't even know of this movie's existence till today and i realised why after watching it. Though it starred Mandy moore, a lousy movie can't be saved by a hot babe! Rating for Saved!: 1 out of 5. 'nuff said.
We had lunch at the cafe cartel located at the newly renovated b1 of cineleisure. They have this new offer at the outlet: Lousy service, bad cooking. What a great combo. The place wasn't even half-filled and Bryan waited like 30 minutes for his pizza. Not a word of apology from the waiter. The free bread tasted better than the lasagna and pizza. Raing for Cafe cartel@cineleisure: 1 out of 5. 'nuff said.
Posted the photos taken at the dinner at fish&co on 20th sept. Tried to brighten the pictures, this is the best i could do. Click on them to enlarge. yeah thanks Dawn.

A dinner was organized last night(Sep 20th) at the Fish & co, glasshouse, sort of like a last gathering for those dragon boaters before they enlist on Sep 29th or Oct 1st. There were 11 of us, Sharon, cynthia, dawn, xueli, yixian, ono, Tj, vic, kevin loh, bryan and I. It felt good seeing all those familiar faces again.
We were supposed to meet at 630pm. My lessons ended at 4 so i met bryan before that at Orchard. From Orchard MRT, we walked along the underground passage through Wisma Atria heading towards taka. Just infront of the Isetan entrance, we saw this visually handicapped person walking alone, and he seemed very lost. Everybody else just walked by, some looked at him but didn't offer any help. So we did and asked where he was headed.
He said he wanted to buy some mooncakes so i agreed to take him to taka to get it. Then he asked if i could pay for him, saying he doesn't have any money. Of course i was abit apprehensive but in the end i agreed, as he said he wants one only. On the way, we strike up a conversation and he was complaining about how bo chap singaporeans are. How no one wanted to help him.
We reached taka and went on to level b2 where there were rows of stalls selling anything associated with the mooncake festival. We walked to a stall and the sales women wanted him to try a sample and he did after we finally got him to understand that it was only for sampling and not the mooncake for sale. He liked the taste so we bought one ($8!).
Immediately, he asked if i could buy him another one and then i started getting uncertain. In my defence, i'm just a student who isn't working. Eight bucks can last me a whole day. Now there's this needy person who tells me he doesn't have money and asking whther i can buy him an item which is not a neccessity. If it's food like rice or biscuit, most probably i will agree. I admit i really had my reservations about him asking me to buy him mooncakes.
At this point, one of the aunties selling mooncakes pulled bryan aside and whispered to him. I didn't what they were discussing but i had already made up my mind. I had to refused to buy him another mooncake even though i felt bad. I asked him where does he want to go next but he said he'd just stay around the place. So me and bryan left and i asked him what did the auntie said to him. He recounted the auntie saying that the man may be a con artist as she had seen him in toa payoh asking people for money.
She could be wrong about him being a con artist though.. He really seems blind. When he whined about Singaporeans being unhelpful, is he part of the reason why they don't want to help, with his 'strong arm' tactics? Then again, why can't a handicapped person have a little luxury of enjoying mooncakes, when we spend hundreds on the latest shoes or watches? Thinking about it, i feel quite selfish and guilty. Maybe i should have bought him the 2nd mooncake.

Okay i have a situation here.
I've been planning to buy a pair of adidas shoes, The Adidas Tuscany, which is like ubercool; the epitome of coolness in sportswear. Well I quite like them in brown/gold colour or black/cream. Surfing through a website, i found them in white/black which i haven't seen in shops here yet (anyone wanna go queensway shopping centre?).
So here are the 3 studs in all their glory. Just make a post or a comment and share your views, good or bad, i wanna hear them. Thanks peeps

Day of Escape
These are the pictures taken when xue and i went to the Escape theme park on wednesday. It was pretty crap in the early afternoon when the queues were long and those little brats from kindergarten kept cutting the queue. The kids were all left on their own and i discovered the teachers, 2 of them, hiding in the shade. So much for being responsible and teaching kids the correct manners.
The queue for the Daytona go-kart was excruciatingly long.. there's so many new regulations now. Like at the start, the cars have to move off 1-by-1 instead of altogether.. blah blah.. waited for at least 30min for a 5 min ride.
Thankfully, the crowd started thinning in the evening and we played the go-kart for like a consecutive 6-7 times. Haha even the guys working there knew me. And there's this new ride, forgot the name, but it wasn't too bad, enjoyable in fact. For the third time in as many visits, the cadbury inverter is not open and i still have yet to try it. Has anyone tried it and is it fun?

Outside my house right now, are thousands of swallows flying about, and you can hear them, like the sound of little mice. My dad said they migrated from the north to escape the colder weather, how far north i dunno. But the view just looks great with all of them in the sky, almost like the scene in 'The Day After Tomorrow' where there's a shot with numerous birds flying over the city skyline. They're settling into the trees now and have quieten down. They better don't shit on my head!

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the coffee...
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your God, your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal." Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
