  • Long Distance Goodbye

    editted - editted

     

    Hello readers! I’m back. Hahs. Well,  as you can see, the blog post title for this time round is really weird. Didn’t have any ideas for the title so I just took it from one of my favourite songs, Long Distance Goodbye by Trevor Rabin. Okay, ignore the title.

    Let’s talk about our Mini-SL gathering. Well, most of them couldn’t attend as they have family outing, working, etcetc. There’s only like 8 of us there. Hahs. But anyway, though it was just a small group, it was still fun. Cracking super lame jokes, being crazy. Everyone’s  laughing every single minute! Everyone would be crazier if more people came. Never mind, there’s still SL BBQ coming up during the March Holidays. Really hope all SL can come. Anyway, I had my hair trimmed before the dinner outing. Went home and decided to take a nap soon after. Well, what was supposed to be a half an hour nap turns out to be an hour nap! Lol! I was shocked la when I look at the time at my watch when I woke up. Well, I had to rush of course! Bath and then went to JE MRT to meet the rest. How I wish the MRT Station (Pioneer) was already in operation at that time. Hmph. Well, look on the bright side, it’ll be open this weekend. No need to take bus! Hahas. MRT all the way. Anyway, I was like 10minutes late. Bang Yan was there on time. Was shocked that the rest weren’t there yet. So, me and Bang Yan chat chat chat. Talk about school, driver’s license, people this and that. Hahs. The both of us have loads to say ah. Anyway, Tasya came soon after followed by Adam, Edwin and Misliana. We decided to meet Leon and Yong Liang at the restaurant itself.  So, we trained all the way there. Chatted along the way. As in all the way. Hahs. Alighted at City Hall, when to Adidas shop because Adam wanted to look for black shorts/track pants. We realised that the price were like too expensive. I mean you can get cheaper ones at Westmall. Lol! Well, we decided to walk to Shaw Tower from Raffles City. Walked for like 15minutes. Received numerous calls from TYL! They were lost in fact. Want to know why they got lost?! Tell ya guys later. Anyway, we walked from Raffles City to Millennia  Walk via the Raffles City Link then walked to Suntec Convention Centre then we reach Shaw Towers. Took loads of pictures along the way. Well we crapped along the way too! Okay, so we arrived at SOFRA at around 7pm. Just nice. Well, we were waiting for the other two guys, so ya, we didn’t order first, just decide on what we want to eat. Everyone ate something that they never had before. Bang Yan and Adam had that some weird thing. The dish sound like Prabhu’s name. Lol! Serious! Okay, so we ordered our drinks first. But before that, the waiter came to our table and recommended us their dessert (!? Something like that). Well, Bang Yan asked how much and the waiter replied that it costs $5++. Hahs. Our jaws dropped! Then we were like thinking how the dessert looks like. Lol! Big? Small? Thin? Lol! Should see how Bang Yan and Adam describing it! Anyway, all of us ordered Turkish Apple Tea and Misliana ordered our normal, conventional, common COKE -.- Hahs. Mis! Try something different la! Hahs. Anyway, me and Adam decide to pick the two boys up because they were like very lost. They claimed that they were at McDs. Well, the nearest McD is at the Bras Basah. So, Adam and I walked there. When we reached, they claim that they were at SMU. That’s like very far!! The two boys decided to make their own way there. Me and Adam headed back to the restaurant. Well, we continued to wait for them. At 8pm! They finally arrived! First thing we did after that was to order our food! Gosh, so hungry!

    Reason why YL and Leon got lost:

    1)        Y L was leading the way! (LOL!)

    2)       YL didn’t have his Singapore Street Directory!

    3)       YL has no sense of direction! Lol! (He told us that he got so lost till at traffic junctions, he just took the path that shows the green man and just walk. No wonder la he got lost all the way to SMU!)

    Yong Liang! Your pictorial memory I think not functioning already! Lol!

    Anyway, our foods were served pretty fast. (I think.. Lol!) So, before we even eat, everyone was like taking pictures of their own food. Then took group photo. Then.......MAKAN TIME! Hahs. After eating, we continued chatting. Talk crap of course. We talked about so many funny stuff. YL gay! Lol! Then Bang Yan’s crazy hand phone invention in which YL will get for free for testing. Hahs. Funny la. After that we decided to look for McD for dessert. Went towards Raffles City because we thought there was a McD there. Anyway, on the way there, loads of funny things happened too! Well, we talked about that ulu ulu building that we walked past. Then Bang Yan started his crap again about the police Section Section Section thingy. Hahs. Section 325, no trespassing! Lol. Nonsense la. Then at  one time, he wanted to give us talk on trespassing! Lol! Bany Yan, you are not qualified la. Anyway, went to Raffles City and well, we looked for McD. Guess what?! There’s no McD there! Then we went out to look for another outlet. Ended up walking all the way to Funan IT Mall for McD! Lol! Had our ice cream, fillet o fish meal and fries there. Lol! Supper! Watched some videos like adolf hitler doing Singapore erp thingy and also Hu the new leader of china thingy on youtube. After that, me, tasya and misliana  decided to go off first. Took the train. Me and Tasya chat. Well, not that much as we were pretty tired too. Misliana was seriously tired. Lol! Reached home at 1110pm.

Of course I know them! Hahs. Well, some I dunno. Hahs. Well went there to watch the last 15mins of the concert only. Lol! We came late cos it was like we were waiting for the rain to stop. So ya.. Furthermore, we parked our car so far from the Shaw Symphony Stage. It was like a 10-15mintures walk from the place we park la. Hahs. Parked damn far. Around Holland road there near Gleneagles. So ya, snapped quite a number of photos. After that, we went out for dinner with uncle and aunty.

    Nothing much happened on Monday. Actually, I can’t really remember what happened on Monday. Oh! I finally remembered. My late grandmother’s brother passed away. ): Attended funeral. That was about all for Monday. Don’t want to talk much.

    Well, Tuesday was better though. Woke up at 8am and i realised I was late once again. Promised to meet Julia and Kenneth at 0930am. I was like 15minutes late and they missed two 970s already. Hahs. Sorry people! Had to wait for my parents to come back from the market. So, we took 970 to some office building at Tanjong Pagar for our job briefing. Shockingly, I just got to know that the company we are going to work for is also Julia’s sister working place. She’s like the marketing person there. So, had our job briefing thing for like 30mins or so. Then we went to Orchard. Well, Julia’s sister’s friend was kind enough to send us to the nearest mrt station. Then we meet up with Hwee Ling. Then trained to Orchard. Girls did shopping while me and Kenneth chatted about school. After that we went  for lunch at Pasta Mania Far East. Had beef Bolognese for lunch for dessert, we shared this chocolate banana pizza. Hahs. I want to try and make it at home. Hahs. After that we decided to watch movie. Lol! Before that, we went to Grand Hyatt hotel just to use their toilet. After that went to Shaw and realised that all the movies will be shown in the late afternoon and I couldnt watch late shows because I had something on on the evening. So, we went back home.

    Today, went to meet up with Adam at Westmall. Actually want to go to school for CCA but last minute, Wei Lun smsed me that there is no CCA today because CT1 is around the corner. So ya, walked around Westmall with Adam while we waited for Yong Liang. Went to sports shops to look for shoes. Well, I was basically looking for new sneakers, new bag and new polo t shirts for poly. So ya... Still looking. Well, I kind of know what kind of bag i’ll get already. Will buy after my birthday. In fact, I’ll buy everything after my birthday. Hahs. After that we went to Harvey Norman to look at some notebooks and LCD televisions. After that we went to CyberActive to look look see see.  Guess who we meet there??? Wilson! Hahs. He joined us after that. ChatChatChat about life. Hahas. Yong Liang finally came at 4pm. Went to Old Chang Kee for food then went to cinema to watch Pink Panther 2! Lol! Enjoy life ah. Hahs. Well, the show was super funny and I’ll definitely watch it again (: Anyway, after that we went to various shops to shop for so called-birthday presents. Hahs. Yong Liang wants to buy me laptop skin and I have to buy him a camera in return! He’s buying Adam a watch (swatch)!! Adam, looks like we have to share money to buy his camera. Lol! Anyway, after that we decided to go home. Well, on the way back, I find it kind of odd to see people taking picture of something. Being curious, I went up to them to check out what they were taking. Man in trouble? Somebody doing something stupid? Monkey? And guess what, there was this beautiful rainbow right in front of me! Hahs. So, I joined them and took pictures of it. Adam joined us soon after. Hahs. Then we went to BB mrt and we meet Mr Chia and Miss Chew. Well, we chat. Adam and Yong Liang were taking the train towards Bukit Gombak. So we went separate ways. I was with the teachers. Talked about school, PPL this and that. Trained all the way to Boon Lay with Miss Chew. Went separate ways soon after as she wanted to go for dinner at JP. I walked home. Surprisingly, I still can see the rainbow from my place! Beautiful! Reached home at 0730pm. Well, that’s about all for today. Will update again next week after work. That’s like next weekend. Lol!

    DSC06876

    Adam, one of the many people taking pictures of the rainbow!

    DSC06875

    Well, I too took a picture of the rainbow. Well, it looks better editted of course..

Just received news over the air @ pure 91.3 FM that SIA (Singapore International Airlines) grounded 17 of their jets. Poor thing! This recession is crazy man! Then Rod Montiero was like suggesting SIA on air to convert those 17 planes into public buses by removing their wings cos he said that this planes are faster and bigger -.- Lol! Lame people. But, still, a great start for my day.

    Woke up super early today err around 6:45am.. Had nothing to do so I decided to look through my photo albums. Pictures of me when I was in pre school and primary school. Manymany memories. I even saw the picture of my first mega birthday party which mom and dad organised for me during pre sch life when I was in K2.  Celebrated with friiends. Great party! Lol! Memories..

  • Another Great Day (:

    Hello again readers (:

    Well, I was thinking what to do when I reach home. The first thing that came across my mind was BLOG! Hahas. So yea, here I am now. Well, a couple of days ago, Yong Liang and I went to Singapore Post HQ (I think. Lol!) to apply for some job dealing with insurance. Soso la the job scope and pay. Blahblahblah. After that, we went for lunch at McDonalds. I had that Prosperity Burger meal again! Yummy! Hahas. After that we went to Bugis (Library). On our way to the train station, I was like looking at every military plane that was coming for touch down (landing). The planes were flying so low la! Like errr 20 storeys high? Hahas. I was looking at those machines like I've never seen them before. Hahs. Maybe I'm just so facinated by planes! Hahs. So yea, went to the library. Couldn't find the book we want (Advanced Engineering Maths, Aerospace Technology, Aerospace Electronics) until we went to the reference section on the seventh floor. Hahas. It's like haven for me and Yong Liang. Whatever we want was there. Will definitely come back just to read up next time. After that we went home..

    Then on Wednesday which was two days ago, went for a meeting with Phillip and his wife with World Toilet Organisation (WTO) about our project. Meeting with the top people. Wooh!! Sadly the founder wasnt there though. So, before the meeting, had breakfast at McD with mom and dad. Then went to Philip's place and from there we headed off to WTO HQ. Had meeting about the project. Then we went to Toa Payoh Hub for lunch. Then I went home to take my iPod. Lol! Yes!, I forgot to bring my iPod! Sad leh! My life is miserable without my iPod! Then went back to school for YFC. I fixed up the teapot with Salihin. Did our team (Hillgrove Team Care) ppt slides. Then we went to McD at gombak. Didnt eat. Just chat. Then went home..

    Friday! which is today, went to Punggol Secondary School with Yong Liang and Misliana. Fun man! Hahas. Or before I proceed, nothing much happend on Thursday. So ya.. Well suppose to meet at 1130am at JE but guess what, Yong Liang was still at home when I called him. Misliana was there already as she was punctual. Hahs! Sorry to keep you waiting yea? Lol! I came around 15minutes later. Then me and Mis were like chatchatchat while we wait for our Guest of Honour Mr Tan Yong Liang! Well, you guys must be wondering why Faisal isn't going for SYFC today right? Hahs. Well, I abandon them! Lol! Joking la. Decided to help out Punggol Sec today and will be doing so again next week too. Final week. 10minutes later, YL came! Hahs. Quickly board the train heading towards Changi. Chat on the train. Hahs. Misliana, I know that friend of yours already! The one start with M and end with N! Hahs! Mouths shut. Anyway, there was this baby in front of me (do not know whether it was a she or he)  but it was cute! Hahas! We alighted at Outram Park then we trained to Dhoby Ghaut. Went we exit the station gantries, I just realised I had 20 mins before my Friday prayers start! I was like shit! Wah, cannot make it la like that if I go for Lunch. So, we went back to the station (what a waste of money) and took the train towards Punggol. Misliana and Yong Liang went to Compass Point at Sengkang for lunch whle I orayed at Potong Pasir. After that, told Mis to pack lunch for me. Then we met at Punggol. Walked there. Chat and bullshit again. Fun people. Hahs. Went to some room once we arrived. The room is damn cool la. Its like a classroom and a ava room room. Lol! Got aircon this and that. Very comfortable. Well, an ideal room for those who want to sleep. Hahs. Then all of us did our stuff. Inspected the hall for investiture. Was damn small la. Its like DaZhong Primary School hall. Lol! Had meeting with the top ppl after that. Then we talk about Hitler!? Lol! LMAO! Then Mr Koh came. Hahs. Smiling happily as always. Talk to the students. After that we had a long chat with him at his offics (cubicle). He had pictures like everywhere. Some from Hillgrove blahblahblah. Chat there. We called Mrs Yeow! Lol! Then we chat with her. Put the phone on loud speaker. So fun lor. Talked about result and Life on the phone (loudspeaker with her). We all promised to go to her school together one day. Hahas! After the camp okay? Or maybe after Investiture next coming Tuesday! Hahs. Then after we talk about recession. Life. Then camp! Wooh! Their camp is right after investiture. I tell ya guys their hectic schedule. Monday dialogues session. Tuesday Invesiture then wednesday to friday camp. Pity them lor. Then Mr Koh gave us Punggol Sec Sch SL shirt. Hahs! Finally I have SL shirt! Lol! Then after that we went home. Well, Mr Koh drove us to Pasir Ris. Talked about property and rasing children along the way. Lol! Alighted at White Sands then we trained all the way back. (Now decideing whether to go for SJI camp next next week...)

    Now, I cant wait for tmr! So excited. Though the number of people who will turn up wont be good. But yea, better than nothing right. Purpose of the outting is just to get together and catch up thats all. Well, I cant wait for Sunday too! Picnic at Botanic Gardens! I was reading some stuff about Polar Climate Shift and Pole shift and it was damn scary la. Dont want to talk about. Go read it up yourself. Okay la, I think thats about all for today. Btw, thanks Punggol for the shirt! Till next time, Bye!

    Exactly in the same situation like my Uncle but I really hope it wont happen. Prays very very hard.....

  • Bored!

    Hello people! I’m back! It’s been almost two weeks ever since i blogged. Haha! Well, looks like I’m only gonna blog once every two weeks because seriously, I got nothing to blog. JC students started schooling already which means no Tasya, no Adam, no Leon! Only YL! But, it’s ok, YL is good company. Hah! Call so many times just to kill time. And poly will only start on the 20th of April! Heng not April Fool’s Day! Haha.

    Okay, so let’s start with the SAF Career thingy. Went to their office just before heading to school for YFC with parents. Their recruitment office is somewhere near Vivo. Pretty isolated and parking lots are pretty limited. Hahas. Had problems looking for a lot. Anyway, security was tight. It’s the Singapore Armed Forces for crying out loud. DSTA is also there and I believe the Navy and Air Force are also there. So, had to go through a number of security checks. Then we needed to surrender our hand phones. Any electronic gadgets, anything which can record video or sound and also anything that can capture images. Tight security huh? Well, had a long talk with the Air Force officer there. Was considering to take up the Joint SAF Diploma Scholarship Scheme. After clearing all my doubts and asking tonnes of questions and after that long talk (LOL), decided not to take up the scholarship. Reason? Well, if I take up the scholarship, I wouldn’t be able to be a pilot with the Air Force. This is because, I’ll only finish my contract with SAF for this scholarship thingy when I’m 26 years old. The Republic of Singapore Air Force only recruit people who are 25 years old and below for those who want to be a pilot with them. 20-25years old range around there. So, after much consideration, I’ve decided not to take up the scholarship. Well, now I have to concentrate on my poly studies. Must excel and get into Nanyang Technological University! That’s after NS of course! Hope the government will put in Air Force side during NS. Heh. Oh, and not forgetting, I must pass my medical test (PPL). I’m done with the interview (I pass the interview! Yay! Did I mention that in my previous blog post?). So ya, really hope can get into Air Force! Lol! Pay high leh! Every month can go holiday ah. Haha. Well, don’t talk only Faisal, work hard for it! So after that we went for lunch at Bukit Merah (Near Ikea Alexandra) for Singapore’s famous Chicken Rice! Haha! After that went to make my spectacles. Yes, I broke my previous one because I accidentally sat on it. Hah! So ya, got to get a new one. After that they sent me to school for YFC.

    Oh, talking about CCA, we’ve been concentrating on SAFMC . So ya, nothing much. Not much flying. Everyone’s buzy with their own team because all want to win! Haha! And honestly, I think my team is going to lose. No hope la. Seriously. I look at Phillip solo ah, you can win ah bro. No need to think about the prize already. Nothing to look forward to for SAFMC. But for the other team, Cat B and C, work hard ya? I know you guys can win. Go all out for it! Cat E, byebye ): Okay, gonna stop here for SAFMC. Have been working round the clock to come out with a self designed glider recently. Also planning to build a scratch built airliner and jet for fun. Then all the electronics will ask Phillip to help me import from abroad because I find it cheaper . Weird right? Haha. Oh by the way, my juniors super cute la. They said I looked better wearing my glasses. Hahas! Funny. Oh, i only wear my glasses when I’m teaching or attending lessons (: Saw so many alumnis last Friday. So cool la. TalktalktalkJokejokejoke.

    P.S: I need to fly soon! Hand itchy! Will fly simulator first then back to the real thing..

    Well, remember our previous DM, Mr Koh? Haha! He’s at Punggol Secondary School now. He called me and asked for my help to help the Student Leaders’ there. Well, I said yes. I’m so free! Nothing to do. So ya, I’d rather be doing something. Helped them to organise investiture. Not only me la. Yong Liang came along to help too. This week will be going back there again most probably for the last time. Cannot come anymore after that because I’ll be working. Furthermore, I got to work on that SAFMC thingy. Sigh... So ya, about the Student Leaders’ there. Okay la. Friendly. Cooperative. Well, that’s all for Student Leaders’ part. Oh, don’t forget to invite me and Yong Liang as promise to your investiture ah?!Haha

    Okay, what else... Oh, my trip to Lido with Tasya and Adam. Went to Lido to get Adam’s PJC uniform but in the end, they told him they had no stock because they just signed a new contract With PJC something like that. But what really drives me nuts was that I saw AC uniform everywhere! Wah... Got to get out of there la. Hah. After that we went back home. Oh, before going to Lido we had lunch at Burger King @ Raffles City. (SORRY GUYS! MY GPS FAULTY ALREADY. HAHA!)

    Wah, I’m so bored at home! Need to do something!

    Okay, Valentine ’s Day. People always say oh, Valentine’s Day happens only once a year blahblahblahblah! Well, from my own point of view, Valentine’s Day happens every single day. Well, it’s not just on that day you love your gf,bf or whatever la. You love them everyday right?! So ya, Valentine’s Day happens every single day! Dad agreed too! Haha! So, went to Underwater World with dearest on that day. It has been so long ever since my last visit to the Underwater World! My last visit was like 5-10 years ago. Somewhere around there la. Anyway, we got lost on the island! Walked pass so many “eight legged freaks”! Hahs! Walked for 15misn around there? At Underwater World, took loads of pictures! Tasya told me to touch the stingray. Haha! Well, I did touched it. Then we went to see the sea angels etcetcetc. Was pretty crowded. Expected la because it’s a tourist attraction spot and it’s V.day. So ya... After that, we went to dolphin lagoon to watch the dolphin show. The show was fantastic! There was one part they played the song For The First Time by Kenny Loggins and I was like.......... Haha! Well, I really enjoyed myself there! I hope you did to. Went to eat after that then we went home. Great day!

    Well, the next day, have classes as usual in the morning. Then my family organised some gathering for my cousins, uncles and aunties. Was fun. Chit Chat, Joked around, play and just eat! Haha! Little cousins were like running around my room! Wah! Scary. Then there was one time where one of my awards fell from my shelf. Didn’t know how it happened but ya, luckily is didn’t break because it landed on my bed. Phew. They were also hogging my rc cars and also my laptop! Haha! All want to play game and watch transformers. Lol! Took pictures of them too! Well, I will attach them below. DO TAKE NOTE THAT NOT ALL MY LITTLE COUSINS ARE IN THE PICTURE! THERE ARE LIKE 6 MORE NOT INSIDE! Wah, can form soccer team lor! Haha!

    DSC06806 DSC06807 DSC06808

    Now, I can’t wait for Saturday! Why?! Because the Student Leaders’ (my batch)are going out for dinner! Turkish Cuisine! Andandand, I can’t wait for Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen! Amazing Race (Latest Season) rocks! I think it's better to be an airline pilot, pay is good too and you get to travel everytime! Haha
