Canada 14 - 20 October 2007

was in calgary, canada to attend a course. This is the first time i'm stepping on US and Canada soil. all along i dun fancy having a holiday in US or Canada as i find that there are some communication barriers (inside me)... or mayb it's juz that my personal feelings of ...... (ha ha ha...)anyway, the place i went to was a town known as medicine hat. did i juz said town? fyi, the town itseld is much bigger than the island of singapore. really couldn't get used to their life there esp when it comes to food.. the most frustrated thing was we couldn't find hiam jio (chilli)!!! everywhere we go eat, only ketchup ketchup and more ketchup!!! sian half aledi.. everyday eat burger till sianz.. worst of all, during training, our lunch oso burger and pizza.. and mind you! it's cold not warm meals... our lunch were taken out from the fridge.. really suffering.. didn't expect course to start early every morning. gotta wake up at 0545hrs then go breakfast and then the trainers will come pick us up at 0700hrs sharp!!! the last day of course, we wanted to try the much talked about steak at a steakhouse known as "Beefeater".. we braved the coldness (5 degrees), walked from hotel to steakhouse which was about half an hour walk. we were damn f%*&ing happy dat we found the place but the restaurant running on full house. we ended up eating western food.. haiz.. btw, one funny thing we observed, we weren't able to flag a cab on the street like what we do in sg.. gotta get the eating place waitress to help us phone for a cab... we decided to take a cab back as the temperature was dropping and it will be very chilling to walk back to hotel..in a nutshell, the trip was quite a pleasant one.. will post some pics which i took in canada and LA....

Canada 14 - 20 Oct 07

My private jet.... ke ke ke... it's a twin prop small jet which can sit up to 20 passengers.. i took this jet from calgary to medicine hat.. journey was abt 40 mins.. quite an enjoyable flight as this is the first time i'm flying in such a small plane...

Busy... Busy... Busy.....

Last few weeks busy working on computer, thus couldn't squeeze time out to update blog...

Adding on to it, my mum was down with urine infection so gotta take care of her. shuttling between my sis's place and punggol cos my mum stays with my sis during weekdays to help with house chores and fetching her grand children to and fro tuition.

Well... there was another thing which kept me down on mood.... only brandon and liao know what it was.... all bcos of one idiotic guy mistake and it cost me lots of problem... was thinking if my canada course confirm aledi.... during transit via tokyo coming back singapore, i may spent few days in tokyo... but there goes my plans.... haiz..... but i will not be beaten.....!!! ha...ha.... i will be back for revenge..... but this time round gotta be careful....

So, brandon......... let's chiong chiong chiong.......!!!!!!!!!!! chiong ah........!!!!!!!!! huat ah.......!!!!!! ha...ha....

like to share this link with you guys. this was done by a man who was suffering from parkinson's disease. he wanted to do this slide before he loses all his memory. he wanted his children to remember him and love him after he loses his memory. he knew that he will not be able to remember his children, friends, relatives.. his greatest love was his children.

all i can say is.... it's very very very touching and meaningful. i love it so much that i played it more than 30 times... whenever i have feel boring, i will go to this link.. it reminded me to be filial towards my parents, love them, take care of them when they are still around. cos when they are gone, you will realised things that you should had done for them which you didn't.. i'm halfway done with a powerpoint slide which is something similar to this.. hope to share with you guys soon...

meanwhile, hope you guys will enjoy this link and ladies, some of you may wanna standby some tissue papers.... ke ke ke.....

Oversea Offshore Fishing Trip 23-24 June 2007

anglers getting excited before reaching the 1st spot. roger (standing up) was the champ as he was up all thru the nite fishing. even when the sharks and rays were landed, he didn't give up like the rest of us. i was the one who slept the most from abt 10pm till 7am the next morning.. ha ha... cos really give up on the catches. not only me, the rest of the anglers were all disappointed. we tink that Batam fishing spots all kena over fished liao.. the catches are getting from bad to worse and from worse to worst.... i don't think i will be going to Batam for offshore fishing anymore.... haiz.....
to the right of the boatman, the door leads to the sleeping room. to the left of the boatman, the door leads to the engine room. the organizer (daniel) having a chat with the boatman, ah hee. daniel was constantly taunting ah hee that no fishes caught and to change spots frequently.. ha ha ha.....!!!
this boat has a sleeping room. 2 double decks bed. quite comfy cos you can open the windows to enjoy the seabreeze and view the sea.

this old deckie was the same one we had at our last fishing trip. still remember him pissing near to our catches during our last fishing trip.
roger showing the "not so happy face".. ha ha.. cos catch wasn't up to expectation. jit cheng taking a quick nap before reaching jetty.
this is the ladder leading to the upper deck of the boat.
this is the view from the dining area.
this is the young malay deckie. quite hardworking guy. will help to unhook fishes caught and also help when line sangkot.

this is the ladder leading to the upper deck of the boat.
this is the upper deck of the boat where i had a rest before reaching our 1st fishing spot.
3 of the 4 rays caught. the 2 brown rays and 1 of the blue spotted ray.
some of the catches. ACK, parrot, kaci, tee boon, deep sea kbl...
the ah lao deckie chopping the stingray into pieces,

deckie scaling the fishes.
the 1.5 litres bottle of mineral water was used to compare the size of the fishes. our biggest catch was a parrot fish, a kaci and ACK. each weighed abt 2kg. there were abt 4 stingrays caught. 2 brown rays and 2 blue spotted rays. their weight from 1.5kg to abt 700 grams. the rest were all below the 1 kg mark. they consisted of teeboon, ack, kee fish, susan, deepsea kbl and arumugam. some of the fishes were deepfried for dinner on 23Jun. in total, there were about 24 fishes of different sizes. those irritating dog sharks and leopard sharks were thrown back to the sea. oh! and there were 2 eels caught. really pathetic.... so little catches for 9 anglers! malu ah....!!!
this was the overall catch. very pathetic catches.
this is the jetty where ah hee anchored his boats.
this is the boat we took. there is the upper deck that we can relax. but seems like nobody was interested to go up there to have a rest except me.

boatman ah hee posing proudly with his boat at the background. that was the boat we took for our offshore fishing.
we had a quick lunch at this seafood restaurant located at Batu Besar (Big Stone) before our ferry back to singapore. we ordered 2 groupers, steam prawns (all damn small!), scallops, soup, kangkong. not really fantastic, but becos we were hungry, that's y we ate everything clean! the bill was about S$150. all of us agreed that it was kinda expensive.. hmm.. mayb due to the fact that we are foreigners, so we went under the blade of the knife!
the coconuts we had really sucks big time! big & old coconut. not sweet at all. unlike thai coconuts, small and sweet!
everyone tucking in to the dishes. can you see all the dishes were swept clean?! everyone was damn hungry.
this is the overview of the place we had our lunch before taking the ferry back to singapore. this place is known as Batu Besar (Big Stone)

These little gals are GREAT....!!!

after a very very heavy japanese buffet lunch, we went walked around and came across these little children playing drums on stage. they are from a music training school located in suntec city. the amazing thing is, these little gals played very well too! the one in white is 5 yrs old and the other in pink is 9 yrs old. i couldn't control myself but quickly took out my camera phone and snapped shots of them performing on the drums. these gals rocks....!!!! i enjoyed watching them playing the drums. suddenly i had the feeling of having a daughter... hahaha...
