Went Fishing With Brandon on 03-07-2008

went pond fishing with brandon on 03-07-2008.. the rate charge $50 for 5 hours.. fish releasing time 1000hrs, 1500hrs & 2000 hrs.. it works out to $10 for an hour.. i tink it's very reasonable.. found out abt this place from fishing website.. went to recee couple of times and finally decided to give it a try.. brandon was itching to fish as he had finished his U studies.. hahaha.. it was pretty quiet, no bites at all when we started fishing at abt 1230hrs.. the bigger fish was caught 20 mins after fishes were release at 1500hrs.. i didn't know my bait was taken by the Ang cho.. i was tying a hook when i look at the water again for my float.. realising that my float was missing, my heart began to pump faster and harder.. haha... i reeled in my line slowly and then there was a strong pull! immediately i set the hook and the fight was ON!! i reeled in without using much strength, so i guessed it's below 1kg mark.. as my line got closer.. the fish suddenly made a dash and my rod was bent to U shape!! as i'm only using 10 pound line, i decided to release the tension abit to let the fish pull and tired out.. for abt 5 times, the fish made a dash when i reeled in my line.. finally i saw an Ang Cho which looked quite a size.. carefully and slowly brandon helped me to bring up the fish!! haha.. the second fish was caught abt 10 mins before i ended my session.. we weighed the fish and the bigger one was 2.4kg, the smaller one was 1.4kg.. end of the day, i looked like a red lobster as the weather was damn hot.. but worthwhile.. looking forward to another session as brandon wanted to go again.. anyway, we are going for offshore trip with Uncle Chong on 15th July.. am excited and looking forward to the trip...

Neglected Blog Again.... HaHa...

been busy since mid march, thus neglected to update blog..
basically i spent majority of my time monitoring sg and US stock market..
the rest were occupied by work, doing extra duties cos shortage of class 4 drivers.. really tired out cos in april i was working with only 1 off day per week.. wtf!!!
anyway, i had sold some of my stocks on hand.. for local stocks i'm in negative territory, but for US stocks, i'm in positive territory..
i had stayed away from trading as market is going thru a highly volatile period.. even with technical analysis, direction of trading patterns may go against what it should be.. so better stay at side line.. moreover the speculation of oil is reaching sky high and it seems like everyday it's hitting a new ceiling..
now that i have more free time, i think it's back to updating my blog again....
hahaha.....

recently got this blood pressure measuring device. operates on 2 AAA sizes batteries. my family has history of high blood pressure and is good that i have this thingy at home so that everyone can make good use of it to monitor their blood pressure movements. very easy to operate. juz need to wrap it around your wrist, press the red operate button and the result will show in approx 1 min.

you can check the previous 20 readings by pressing the memo button. it will show you the date and time of the last 20 readings.

this is my reading for today. it shows the systolic and diastolic reading. healthy range will read at about 130/90 if i'm not wrong. i took my medication in the morning and i took my reading at about 1pm. if i take my reading in the morning when i wake up, the reading will be kinda higher. no wonder it is said that in the morning when you wake up, your blood pressure is the highest. anyway, this device oso indicate your heartbeat rate. i strongly recommend to have one at home for those who have family members suffering from high blood pressure. cos when you are not feeling too well, you can use this to check if you have high or low blood pressure.

Some Pics of Chee Weng's Bird Day at Aloha Loyang on 24 Feb 08

We had a gathering at Loyang Aloha from 24-26 Feb 08. Gum Gum happened to be Chee Weng's bird day oso.. actually there was a "surprise" lined up for him at midnite but due to some "security" issues, we abandoned the plan (no wonder some of the guys didn't turn up.. probably due to the cancellation of the "surprise"...) anyway, we had a fun time at the chalet.. chee weng was kinda happy that we bought the "special" cake for him... well... real chabor in bikini dun have... but bikini in cake oso can la.... no wonder he looked so Sexcited... ooppsss... i mean excited.... took some pics and oso the videos.... sorry... think you guys gotta watch the videos with your head tilted... tried to edit to potrait but couldn't... enjoy....

we arrived early so gotta wait outside till 2.30pm to check in

whilst taking this photo of chee weng, i asked him whether he happy or not?? cos if he's not happy then probably when night falls, he will be a very HAPPY man cos we had something lined up for him (juz bluff him nia. make him happy even though we had cancelled the plan). he looked kinda worried... wahaha.....!!!

Chee Weng and Ivy preparing the food for BBQ at nite.... hmmm.... looks like a very happy couple at the kitchen preparing food.... kekeke.......

this special cake for chee weng.. DOM (Dirty Old Man)...hahaha..... the candles were inserted right into the two tits and the private part area inside the cake where chee weng was supposed to use his mouth to dig right in to bite the candle out....

look at his tee ko face when he posed with the cake... kekeke....

he held a "HUAT" mahjong tile... someone passed him the tile to hold on to it... hoping that his wishes to "HUAT" will come true.....

As you can see.... chee weng was getting kinda impatient as we sang the birthday song.. he eagerly wanted to blow the candles and plant his face into the tits and private... in the cake of course la.....

After he blew the candles, the show began... wahaha.....

19th Jan 2008

My sis called me in the morning asking me if i'm able to go for dinner to celebrate my nephew damien's birthday.. since i not working then go lor...
this makan place is an authentic thai eatery... known as "TUK TUK" Thai Kitchen, location is no.135/137 east coast road.. it's near the the junction of east coast road and joo chiat road.. diagonally opp katong mall.. we had a hard time finding parking lots.. ended parking some 400metres away from the shop.. this thai eatery shop offers valet parking if you wan convenience.. outside the shop there's this Tuk Tuk cab on display..
The shop was fully packed but lucky my sis called to book table for 11 pax...
The waiter and waitress are all thai nationals (but i did see a guy who looks like indian, mayb he's a thai).. the cooks in the kitchen are thais too... owner is a singaporean guy with thai wife.. frankly speaking, had not tasted such authentic thai food in sg.. the bill came to $220 for 11 pax.. not that expensive la.. we had pineapple rice, fried rice, white rice, 2 garoupa fish, 3 pots of crab tang hoon (vermicelli), 2 plates of papaya salad (very yummy), 2 plates of deep fried chicken in pandan leaves, 3 pots of tomyum seafood, 1 plate of fried long beans, 1 plate of prawn omelette, 1 plate of hot plate black pepper beef (yummy too). for desserts we had - 3 plates of tapoica with coconut milk, 3 bowls of red rubby, 2 plates of mango with sticky rice, 10 pcs of coconut jellly with waterchestnut and corn... i can only remember these dishes, but i think should be more or less llike that la.. i dun mind going again.... wahaha.....

This is the place

Nice tuk tuk.. wonder if such tuk tuk still exists in bangkok? had taken tuk tuk in phuket recently, but not sure abt bangkok...
tom yum seafood. perfect sour and spicy soup, but the prawn not very good
we had 2 deep fried garoupa, one with chilli sauce one without. i ate the head of both garoupa. if i'm right, the price of each garoupa is $15/=
tang hoon with crab.. the tang hoon taste yummy, i didn't eat the crab as i had them the day before, so can't take too much.. high cholestrol.. from the look of it, definitely more worthwhile then the CRAP beehoon i had the previous nite. if not wrong, each pot of crab beehoon cost $15/=..




i don't fancy the thai sour salad, but i must say this papaya salad taste real yummy...
there are 3 different kinda chilli sauce, the one on top is my favourite....
desserts time - coconut jelly with water chestnut and corn in it..
desserts time - mango with sticky rice.. i didn't take this as i was quite full liao.. the rice is actually glutinous rice...
finally, cheese cake with mini oreo, my sis bought for my nehpew.. stomach kinda gonna explode liao, so didn't eat the cake..

18th Jan 2008 - Crab Bee Hoon or CRAP Bee Hoon Leh???!!!

my nephew called me in the evening asking me whether i'm aware that his birthday is juz 1 day away? oso asked me what birthday present i bought for him... i totally forgotten abt his birthday present so i juz replied "i know your birthday coming, but i'm very busy at work and couldn't find time to buy present.. instead i'll give you something else".. he sadly replied ok lor.. and he asked me if i wanna eat Crab Bee Hoon cos he's having dinner with his mum and dad and oso my mum at elias mall.. i said ok as the i had tried the crab beehoon there before.. when they arrived at my place, i went down to pass ang bao to my nephew and oso to take the crab beehoon.. was damn hungry and when i opened the packet, i nearly fainted!! the beehoon was seperately packed and the crab is of very lousy quality!! saw the bill for the crab beehoon was $47/=!!! they purposely filled the container of crab with lots of gravy so that you won't be able to see the crab!! the pincers were big but the flesh inside was only 1/2 filled and the body of the crab was even worse!! the flesh were 1/2 attached!! this is what we called heavy crab with little meat!! it's heavy not becos it's a flesh full packed crab, but bcos of it's shell...!! next time if you wanna buy crab, you gotta hold on to the crab, turn its belly upside, pressed the belly to see if it's hard and make sure no bubbles and water oozing out when you pressed.. if it's soft and bubbles and water oozing out, the crab is no good.. thats why many zu char stalls dun like customers to test the crab this way, as they will end up with all the lousy crabs unsold.. anyway, told my sis to call the zu char stall to inform them abt the quality of the crab. the zu char stall replied "oh really huh??!! haiz.. bo bian leh.. cos our regular crab supplier no stock so we got the supply from another supplier... anyway, we will take note of it... thank you..."

well, what can i say... LL eat the crab lor.. as for the beehoon, i soaked them in the gravy and ate it half an hour later so that the beehoon will taste better... i wondered.. am i eating crab beehoon or CRAP beehoon.... haiz..... take a look at the pics...

14th Jan 08

Time to get back to work....

started my leave from 18 Dec 07.. will be going back to work on 5 Jan 08.. nowadays, i don't feel the eagerness to return to work from leave.. Christmas eve stayed at home, New Year Eve stayed at home too.. surprisingly, i slept early.. wahaha... gone were the days that "die die must go chiong on these 2 holiday eves".. i'm wondering, is this a sign of ageing or symptoms of anti social behaviour....??? ha..ha... i think it gotta be age..
juz last week, something which all the while to be i think which is not important came creeping back to my mind.. all this while, i think marriage is a troublesome thing.. what if can't get along and wanted divorce? won't there be lots of legal issues and oso lots of paper signing and these and that.. worst if fight for custody of children...
what crept into my mind was.... one day i get old and die... i wont have any child to send me off on my last journey.. haiz.. come to think of it, very pathetic leh... and of course lonely... so, i think i will make all the necessary arrangements will i'm still alive.... ha.ha... like buying an altar space for myself so that whoever wanna come visit after my death will be able to find me (or will there be anyone to visit me????)
whoever you are reading this, pls don't get the wrong idea hor.... wahaha... i'm juz planning way ahead..... cos eventually if i get old... i will be a lonely soul... what i dread most is dying alone at home without anybody realising till the decomposed smell catches someone's attention.. i don't wan to die that way... wahaha.... mayb will get myself into an old aged home.. in this way, if i kick the bucket, at least i will be discovered earlier mah... i know that my health status ain't too good.. high blood, problem with my leg... i'm sure as age catches up, it will worsen..
think it's abt time to stay healthy and do more sports... thinking of buying roller blades.. dun know difficult to master the art of roller blading a not leh...

A Sad Ending To Year 2007

I was away in Genting Highlands from 27 Dec 07, returning to SG on 30 Dec 07.. I took some pics of during my time in Genting, with intention to post them here when i return.. but on 29 Dec 07, i received sms and call from loh hee khim and liew chee meng respectively, informing me that our good friend ang thiam chin committed suicide.. i was shocked! really shocked to receive the news.. was told that his wife wanted to divorce him and thus he chose to take his life by hanging himself.. my mood changed totally.. deep inside i felt sad.. i returned to SG on 30 Dec 07 by coach via tuas. without much delay, from tuas i rushed to choa chu kang where ang's funeral wake was. as i walked towards his altar, i really couldn't believe myself that right in front of me, inside the coffin, was ang thiam chin! i took a joss stick lit it and pray to him, my long time fren of nearly 20 years.. as i sat with loh, liew, benson, etc.. we all were totally shocked with what happened..
next day 31 Dec 07, i arrived at the wake as the cortege will be leaving for mandai for cremation.. ang's parents were sobbing and shouting his name.. a scene which made many ppl heart sank.. i offered a joss stick to ang and then sent him on his last journey.. ho and the rest carried the coffin for a short distance and then in it went into the hearse.. i tried very hard holding back my tears.. upon reaching mandai, everyone were asked to offer our last respect to ang with 3 bows.. as the coffin was pushed into the incinerator, i could no longer hold back my grief and tears.. so long my dear fren, ang... may peace be with you and may you bless your daughter.. don't think she knew what was going on.. saw her running around at the wake with a packet drink and smiling..

2007 ended with a sad note which i completely didn't expect it to be so.. thinking back of those happy times we all had at the SAF changi chalet with ho, teck koon, benson, poh tock, fook weng, etc... we even had a good laugh at ang when he drank liquor and ate banana which caused his diarrhea.. but now, it will be something which we will never be able to laugh and make fun of again.. right now, i wish that you will be living happily in a world of yours and in a world without sufferings... take good care my dear fren, ang thiam chin.. i will remember you always, we will remember you always... remember to bless your daughter and look over her thru her growing up..... goodbye my good fren, ang.... goodbye....
