Sun Moon Japanese Resturant

I love my Shi Fu so much. She remembers my birthday and brought me on a birthday feast at Sun Moon Japanese Restaurant at Wheelock Place. Its a fantastic Japanese restaurant. The ambiance is great. My Shi Fu and I love to eat. When it comes to food, we're ruthless. We try and eat every dish to our hearts content. Shi Fu, I know this hurts your wallet but don't worry. When I graduate in 4 years time and get a good job, I'll repay you. We'll do it on a more grander scale than this.

This is just the start of the feasting for my coming birthday. I'm going to eat as much as I can before my tooth extraction on the 6th of August which is the day after my birthday. From 6th August onwards, I am going suffer. That week alone, I am going to get 4 of my tooth extracted. Its sounds scary. However all these doesn't matter. What matters most is I enjoy myself this week and play to the maximum.

The amount of food we eat is scary isn't it. My shi fu and I share the same policy. No matter how much food we eat, deserts will always occupy a separate compartment in our stomach. We killed off the feast with this chocolate chestnut icecream

AsoC Camp

Red Hot Chilli Peppers. We are just so HOT.

Is the AsoC Camp fun? Well, when it comes to the activities, I don't really think so. However, I have to say my AsoC group is totally different from my Sports Camp and FTB group. They are really brainy people and very good conversationists. We spent most of the time talking and cracking jokes. Our favourite activity has to be solving mind games. I think we've played enough of these games to compile them into a book. Thanks to the group, I believe my intelligence has improved by 10 points.

I have to admit that I really sucked in spotting all these subtle differences. I am the President of the SLOW CLUB. This explains why I'll never find a girlfriend. Most likely, I'm going to miss all the subtle hints. I only understand the OBVIOUS. Haha, I am so hopeless.

I excel in the Polar Bear game (Something like the murderer and detective game). I love playing it the most. I enjoy acting and "smoking" everyone in the game. Somehow, I am better in picking out anomalities and this helps me in analyzing people's reactions and behaviour to situations.

SMU Accountancy students are a group of people who plays hard. We turned the entire school upside down on our second night. Hide and seek/Catching and Seminar Room Clubbing!?!?!?!?! I was amazed by what people can do. Only 1 word to describe them "INCREDIBLE".

Freshmen Teambuilding Camp

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

You can say I am lazy. After writing about the SMU Sports Camp, I have been contemplating whether to write something about the FTB. Seriously, it doesn't do justice to FTB if I don't write anything about it. So here is my brief account.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Well , I have to say I am lucky for the second time to have such a wonderful team. Hmm...this team does not have the makings of a champion like that of "Transformers". Onstart, we are already down with 2 members. Some of the members are battling with injuries/illnesses of all sorts. However all these does not matter. We are not hindered by all these disadvantages. Once again, the SexY Spartans displayed great team spirit, and went against all odds.

Most important thing of all, I made more friends. And I also found a long lost twin clone sister, Ingrid. Haha. Yeah, I'm going to miss those 2 straight nights of talk cock session. Its fun having Kesh in our team. Our Xiao Mei is always so funny and witty. You can really talk dirty :P Another interesting one would be our facilitator Amelia. A cute looking girl who always sport this damsel in distress look. Girl, you just have to admit it. You have this "Come here and bully me face". But don't worry, given your great personality, there will be plenty of prince charming around to rescue you. Lol.

SMU Sports Camp 2007

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Upon request of my sweet team mate Priscilla, I've decided to write this late night blog entry for her. Girl you should feel honoured that you are the first person from the Sports camp I know. Haha. What made her so special is that she's the one who signed on my SMU certificate, officially making me a citizen of SMU.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

SMU Sports camp certainly lived up to its expectations. 3 days 2 nights of fun filled activities. Seriously, I hate writing each and every single detail of the camp. I think its really dumb repeating these stuff. Anyway, a fun game isn't any fun when your team members aren't enthusiastic. Its the people who make the difference. Basically, my team exhibited great team work, sportsmanship and creativity.

Seriously, on the first impression, the team did not look very impressive. We lack the raw power (Big built and strong guys). For most of the camps I have been to, the games often strength based. Certainly, I feel my team was a bit disadvantaged. Stamina, speed and endurance are never a issue. When it comes to raw power, a lot of people can flick me off with ease. Well, never judge a book by its cover. My team did lived up to its name "Transformers - Robots in Disguise". Each and everyone of us certainly has hidden talents. Instead of raw power, brain power does most of our work.

*The first game of Judo certainly crushed my morale. That basketball player nudged me out of the mat effortlessly. $%^%#^$&^$&^$&^$^$#$^&$

For the amazing race, we did not even break a sweat to win in record breaking time. Thanks to our wonderful spokeswomen Meiqian and her team of gorgeous ladies, we hitched 3 rides in a day. Hitching a ride in Singapore? You must be kidding. My jaws dropped when I knew she managed to hitch a ride for the third time (A lorry all the way to the end point). Simple believable....things like this actually happen in Singapore?

The Winning team

Enough said, I think I am most impressed by my talents to guess the famous item Mono Lisa. Well, it was an easy game. All we had to do is to ask questions about the name of the person stuck on your forehead and guess it. Mine is not a person. She's a person in a picture. I was asking stupid questions throughout the entire game. Everyone kept giggling. (Now I know why) A stroke of genius and that made the difference. I asked the stunning question which got me the answer immediately. "Was she a lady in a picture?" I guessed I caught everyone by surprise with that question. Haha.

Transformers isn't a RAA RAA team. We are so low profile. Basically, we are small but impactful. We are like Ninjas. We kill without leaving a trace. The team is made up of like minded people. Most of us like to relax, but all performed their best during games. Most of us don't drink. Lucky for me. I hate to drink that bitter crap. If my team is made up of heavy drinkers, I would have gone drunk since I have this weakness to alcohol. Most of them don't club as well. Seriously, how often do you find people as "pathetic" as me. I work in St James, but I have only visited 2 clubs once. MOS once and the now defunct Club MoMo once.

All these doesn't matter. What matters most is that we swept away two 2nd prizes for the entire Sports Camps. $150 Cafe Cartel vouchers and $125 NYDC vouchers.

On a final note, I would like to thank beloved team mates from Transformer for giving such a wonderful experience. A smashing start to University life! Crystal, Esther, Priscillia, Kesh, Mei Qian, Desmond, Derrick, Eugene and Jasper, You people rock!

Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th is a very mysterious day. Uncountable urban myths and legends are passed down through generations speaking of all the weird occurrences on this date. What special things happened to me yesterday?

Enlistment

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

My brother was enlisted for army. He was sent to BMTC School 2 Taurus company. It felt nostalgic returning to such a familiar place. This dreadful Pulau Tekong is the island where I trained to become a specialist for a torturous 7 months. Every trip for book in and book out is so painful. A good 2 hours plus journey. Just imagine the joy I had when I was posted back to mainland.

Army is the rite of passage from boys to men. Well it sounds good. However I really wonder how many boys become men. I have to say that the majority who KENG and escaped hardship learnt ZERO life lessons. All they had learnt was to cheat and escape from reality. Well, you can say they are smart and exploited the flaws in the system. But just how these people can go in life. Escaping is never a solution. Life is going to catch up on you and torment you. Not everyday is Sunday.

In Tekong, I met my 2SIR PC. LT Jay is now officially CPT JAY. He is the officer commanding of School 1 Jaguar Company. The strangest thing that could happen is that my brother's Company Sergeant Major was my CSM 2 years ago when I was a recruit. What coincidence!

How's the camp food?

St James

Friday the 13 was the most happening day in these 5 months I have worked. It was so dramatic, akin to watching a Taiwanese drama serial. All the fighting, cursing and swearing in the high class gallery bar. A happy reunion turned... The twist of events was so sudden that I couldn't comprehend what happened. The friend who was chased away was the one who spent lavishly on the girls. St James's top security had to come in break apart the rowdy crowd. Should they come a minute later, the first fight in gallery would break up. To be exact, a cat and dog fight.

Eventually the group broke up and all was that was left were broken glasses, torned vouchers, bottle cards and a voluptuous lady sprawling on the ground helplessly. She was one of the customers I served. She actually got so drunk that she ended up in a state of demonic possession. For the next 2 hours, she tucked herself into the trash bags and slept on the gallery floor. Occasionally, she will go into fits, screaming nonsense and crying. It was a sickly sight. She totally lost it.

The next hour was an reenactment of the movie Exorcist. Her eyes rolled up and all that was seen was white. She swing her head around like a mad women, vomit spilling out from the side of her mouth. Her weak husband was no match for her constant struggle. She threw her limbs all over the place, hurting everyone within a 1m radius. She screamed for help, screamed for her own death. Soon, she was knocking her head on the edges of the table and the steel button stool. I have never seen anybody so drunk, to the extent of seeking death. It was a horrifying sight watching this lump of meat crawling on the floor.

It had taken too long to move her away. Eventually, it was time was all of us to go home. That was not the end of everything.

Public shitting

A sick bastard server from Powerhouse got so drunk that he began vomitting and shitting all over the locker area in St James Power Station. This has to be one of the most horrendous thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

He sat at one of the side tables near lockers 240++, with his head glued to the table and hand swinging mid air in a pendulum motion. Vomit flow out from his mouth and you just cannot imagine how a face would look like with that sticky shit. Every few minute, he would clear his throat by spitting his vomit. Yeah, he's literally drowning in his own vomit.

This guy even lost control of his anus. God knows what he is thinking. He passed motion all over the locker area!!! The most shocking thing was that his faeces were at least shoulder height! He must have cleaned his backside with his hand, and conveniently rubbed those crap on the walls! I could not hold my breathe. The stench infiltrated my nostrils and started polluting my brains.
What a night...

*I wanted to put pictures from the movie Exorcist. However, the pictures are simply too gross and scary.

Reflections

SMU
I'm so jealous. Jealous of all my friends who have gone for their university orientations. I still need to wait one more week before my SMU orientation starts. It certainly sucks to know that none of my secondary school pals are heading to SMU. I am feeling lonely, having no sense of security. Its certainly frightening taking the first step out to a place no one wants to go. Its time I learn to be independent and explore what's ahead of me.

St James
The time has come. When I first interviewed for the job, I told Kelly that I am going to quit after August. After working for close to half a year at St James, I feel that its really hard to leave. This is what I gonna do. When school starts, I am going to work once a week. If I cannot handle my schoolwork, I will be out of action until the school holiday comes. For my job, the pay is really pathetic. I'm still working because of my colleagues and my regulars. For me, it doesn't hurt to quit because of monetary reasons. It certainly hurts to lose the rapport which I have built with my regulars over the past half a year.

I am having some problems with my captain at St James. I understand your concerns. Sometimes it just can't be helped. I love talking to my guests. If its their first time patronising St James, all the more I will try to help them settle and make them feel like "home". Come on, the whole section is not going to crash and burn just because I took a slightly longer time PRing and explaining. It is not as if I am the only one working and all else will fail just because I spent more time using my mouth rather than my hands.

My motivation is waning. I hope things will change for the better when Gallery bar gets renovated.

Work's a bit different without Bernard around. As much as I miss you now, I still won't change my mind that you should go to London. :P

Pitch Black
Went Pitch Black with Junlin. In time to come, its going to be my favourite haunt.

For dinner, I took out all my anger in work on this. I finished all of them. If you have been to Fisherman's Wharf, you should know how big is the serving. For your information, it costs $5 for that extra piece of Dory.
