The Past Few Days

Wednesday
As usual Wednesday is a soccer day. Played soccer with colleague. This time we lost, its time we lost too, cant be winning all the time. The worst part i scored an own goal, so embarrassing. It goes like this as i am the defender and my teammate pass-ed me the ball and all my teammate have been marked. And swee shouted pass back so i passed to the goal keeper who didnt grab the ball. Ok, maybe i also kick the ball to hard.. Ah tats stupid. But at least i scored a goal by luck, the ball just roll in somehow, with everyone including the goalkeeper just watching it roll in, Funny? Weird!!!!

Later in the night yaM asked me some VS 05 stuff, suppose to be an easy problem but i am like 1000's of km away how to communicate. It took hours but still couldn't solve it. By the time i sleep i was super duper late.

Thursday
Bad Bad day for me. I slpt the whole morning in the office, cant believe it. But i managed to finish my work by evening. Later in the night went to watch movie, Pirates of the Caribbean. The good thing bout the cinema here, the service is good, the person in front of u wont be able to block your view unless his as tall as yao ming, the popcorn is cheap, it in English and the volume not tat loud or soft just nice. The BAD things, They shorten the film it suppose to be 3hr become 2hr 20 min and worst it is so Xpensive 12SGD. SO X.

This Weekend Trip
This weekend i will go on a 2 day tour to E-Mei mountain. I will be leaving on Saturday earl in the morning and back in Chengdu on Sunday night. So dear friends u may not find me online.
I Would like Thank LiKim, she always talk to me on msn especially when i am on a distant land, make me feel like home. Thanks A Lot!!!

61 more day left.

Sunday
Woke Up at 11 and went to play badminton at 12. Meet MR Zhou Wei(project boss) there playing badminton too. Hahaha. Saw a Gal with him should be his wife, didnt take a good look at her. Maybe next time ba since he plays badminton every 10.30 to 12.3o while we play from 12 to 2 on sunday. At first there were 7 ppl going not including me but end up all disappeared leaving 3 person so i joined in to make 4. So we could play doubles or singles and not waste the 2hr booking time.

In the evening i and my twin accompany Li Ying to meet her mum to happen to come to chengdu for a short trip. It was like over in less than 10 minutes. So we walked back to our apartments and waited downstairs for the rest. For some weird reason,We suggested that we hide at the side of the apartments and follow them quietly behind. So that was what we did. And the best part was that even though we followed the rest of the group all the way from the bottom of the block till they flag for cab, none of them noticed that we were behind. How funny. We were like right behind them laughing but no 1 notice. Some even turned back and chat with the others. The best part is HS even turned and ask if we had replied the sms asking if we are going to join them for dinner us. I was like i am here u know.

How interesting but we must watch our back next time,Vulnerable.

Saturday.
I spent my 60th day in Chengdu at 春熙路 (Chun Xi Road),It was kind of tiring walking around. It was equivalent to SG's orchard road, But much bigger. I saw this nice shoe at the spalding, But sadly dun have my size. Nvm then we went to shop sell some illegally imported Adidas and Nike product and i brought a cheap Adidas Shirt at 130rmb.

There’s this 3-storey bookstore there. Lots of books there and they’re cheap compared to Singapore! I bought ASP.NET 2.0 book for RMB$98! Shared the price with my twins. In SG the programming books cost bout 70-100SGD.

Had dinner at Pizza Hut coz we wanted to eat pasta and there’s no such thing as Pastamania over here :-/

Friday Dinner
After work on Friday, We sat down discussing on where to had our dinner when Mr ling and Ms Chua told us of this porridge steamboat store near our house. So we took the cab there. We ordered a seafood porridge, it taste great, but after adding extra soup and porridge the taste of seafood were all gone. Averagely the food was delicious. There was a table beside us that wanting to take-away the porridge and guess what happened? the waiter just pour the hot porridge in to a plastic bag and gave it to them. OMG! How poisonous!!!. Then i realize they do that all they time.

After dinner we went to the street right behind our apartment. It a street of bars and bars and bars. OK so we went to 1 of the nice bar. Most of them ordered beer but i drank sprite with my other friends and play cards, dai di. Hahah and guess what i threw a royal flush in my first turn the the biggest 1, Spade Jack to Ace. Haha how lucky! The rest was shock!! Saying was that possible? Nvm about that but i was winning most of the time i even manage to finish playing in 1 turn while the rest had no chance to even lay 1 card down. Lucky Day for me! If we were gambling i would have won tons of money sadly we are not. Then i remember in the morning that taxi's tire that i took when "flat" and the car no. was 3909 maybe ask dad buy 4d for me. When heading home i suggested that 1 of us should act drunk and see how the couples react who are at home, HS volunteered. I knocked on the door. Madeline and Twin went to open the door and I said, “Hwa Swee is drunk.” So twin looked behind him and saw a “drunk” TPYS leaning on Teck Hwee, but both of them just went back to their respective rooms to continue what they were doing. haha. And no one cared about that “drunk” guy. Then we started laughing and laughing loudly cause no 1 even cared if he was drunk all not. He was so ----- saying WTH and the couples came out from their rooms and started laughing with us after they knowing what happened.

Sunday

Saturday i booked a badminton court for Sunday 12-2. Its located at the same place as the street soccer court. On Sunday i woke up quite early at bout 10am, i was quite surprise, i dun usually wake up so early on weekends, must be the bunch of noisy people at the living room hahaha. After much hard work of asking around i found out that 9 people are going.

At bout 11.40 we prepared out stuff bring along our badminton racket and shutter cork and left the house. For your information the badminton racket is bought at carrefour it cost 4.90 rmb = less than 1SGD. Shocked? we bought 4. We went to the convenient store buy some water and left with 15 min to walk there more than enough time. But still we were 15 min late.

But no big deal. Long last badminton, i had been so long since i step on to the badminton field.
with 4 rackets, we played double, Quite enjoyable. Found some new facts, like a few of them dun like to run so there were some loopholes in defends and most of them play left right though i prefer front back, cause of my long arm i guess, its easier to catch ball left and right by just stretching them :X Anyway my badminton skill deproved, my serving sucks and cant seem controlling the direction of the ball. The racket is lousy cheap stuff, cheap quality. And guess what, 2 racket's string broke off, its only the first time using it. Cant expect much from a 1SGD racket. So its down to 1v1. It took like ages to reach my turn to play, having 9 ppl playing elimination. So 4 of us ended up renting the ping pong table and equipment.

We play till 3pm and guess the price for everything. its only 32rmb for 1 badminton court and 1 ping pong table and ping pong equipments. 32 rmb = 6.40 cent. For 3 hours!!!!

So all of us where hungry and went for lunch at 4. and look at my bowl of hor fun so big. Guess the price? its 10rmb = 2 SGD. The chopstick are not mini size, they are normal size its just the bowl is bigggggggggg!!!


At night we went to Swensen, i didnt order main course as i my stomach was feel with hor fun still, ate chicken wings and order a chcolate crunchy ice cream yummy, and its cheaper thean SGD the ice cream is 45rmb =9SGD. Sad they dun sell cake, no ice cream cake sobs...

Primary School Class Gathering

2 month ago i started receiving some tons of emails from my long lost primary school friends and that they will be organizing a gathering on yesterday. At first it feel kind of weird. But later i felt so excited, wondering how my primary sch friends changed, what are they doing now and ..... It has been 9 years since we last met each other and suddenly there is going to be a meeting. But sadly enough i am in china for attachment. How i wish i could just fly back to Singapore for 1 day.

What interesting is it started with chain mails, in search for all the missing friends. Thus my mail box was flooded with emails. Each day i would slowly add new "found friends" to my msn and so far i have collected 27 contacts, some still MIA. As i add them to my msn i start chatting with them, starting of with " hihi Do you still remember me?" and the ans was always yes, guess was little infamous then :X... But i cant put their names to their faces and their faces seems blurry in my mind especially the gals. Then the meeting place was decided to be at ray house and wahala. the day came.

Yesterday was a holiday in SG but not in china still i had to work till 6pm. After i finished doing my stuff (dinner and shopping) and got home it was 9. I SMS Vanessa but sadly ray dosnt have a web cam. Sigh! Saw eddie online chat with him bout the Gathering for awhile.

Later in the night i chat with Amelia went saw her online cause i remembered her as a friendly person and she also the 1 answering my funny question and laughing at my lameness last night. :X She told me lots stuff bout the gathering like " who started kaypo-ing about who having gf and bf and all the gals become so pretty and boys growing longer haha" , The Vanessa came online and send me the photo as shown below.
Top Right: Louis, Eddie
Third Row: Ray, Cheryl, Daniel, Jane, Shi Yun, Si Ru, Michelle
Second Row: Zhu Nian, Amelia, Pei Qi (behind Vanessa) , Su Xian
First Row: Johnathon, Genevieve, Samantha, Evelyn, Vanessa

better write their names down before i forget :X

Out of the 18 friends i recognized Johnathon, Samantha, Vanessa, Eddie and Zhu Nian. Less than 1/3... poor memory of mine and i cant recognise Louis cause he cut his hair during NS haha. nearly cant recognize Johnathon too.(guess i not going to take photos when i have shave my hair during NS). Amelia filled me in with the rest of their names. Though i cant remember some of their younger face, I can tell most of them got so much prettier. I crapped with Amelia and Vanessa till 2am before going to sleep.

They are going to have a meeting again during July, urgh, i still in China then. Hope more people turn up then.
