42 Days to Go.
well technically less ... since it's close to midnight .
finally got around to performing maintenance on my laptop today ...
and guess what ... the defrags barely halfway through and i started at what ? 10am ?
and it's only a 35GB portion of the HDD.
and the last time i reformated this was ... erm ... lets see ... at the start of year 3 ?
so 1 year and my laptop is so badly messed up ... christ ...
i haven't been able to do anything on my laptop except wait for facebook to take forever to load
bleah .... and i so badly wanna do some things in photoshop >.<
went to sim lim to check out the cost of servicing my laptop cause the dust and all that's trapped inside has been causing it to overheat ...
found out what ? it costs 50 bucks . MINIMUM . to get the insides cleaned out . and 20 bucks more to get the Thermal Paste redone. HOLY CRAP.
and some guy quoted me 210. siao eh -.-
so i called up Acer with the intention of getting a quote from them ...
turns out what ?
my warrenty is still valid !
and until the 21st of May ...
hell , i'm gonna go down and get them to change everything !!!
love lift us up where we belong ; where the eagles cry on a mountain high

thou shall not sin
but i have !
holy crap !
the sin of gluttony.
twice. in two days.
well ... to be fair ...
on monday . it was the only thing i ate all day.
having had fruits for dinner.
and yesterday. only had half a packet of rice for lunch.
and having exercised on both days !!
went to meet Ht yesterday for dinner
and to plan something
for dinner , we had this
This monster is called an iEat SuperBurger
In case you're wondering , it is indeed related to that Blog.
This monster of a burger is only $12.50 !!
And I have had it twice is two days !!
What's in this !
A Giant Burger Bun
Fried Onions
Cheese
Bacon
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Mayo
BBQ Sauce
A GIANT BEEF PATTY !
Ht said that after eating this , other burgers can't compare to this.
Well to be honest , with the prices of fast food nowadays , and the quality of the food ...
It's true !
A note of caution.
This is a really huge burger , and although it comes with no sides,
It is VERY filling.
Do come on an empty stomach.
Oh , this is at Aston's.

i just realized how stupid i am .
actually that would be an understatement .
gahhhhh . time to remove those rose tinted glasses .
and slap myself back to reality .
just because you think things are going the way you think they are .
doesn't mean they REALLY are .
bah .
don't ask.

looking at pictures of food while on diet is a bad idea
yet , just a moment ago ... i'm doing just that =O
hahaha ...
and feeling all the more hungry for it ...
pass few days have passed in a semi-blur ...
saturday and sunday were the two HOTTEST days in recent memory
and the humidity took the cake ...
people were sweating buckets even with their fans at full blast ...
blasting them with HOT and HUMID air ...
met up with a mixed group of VSchoir people on Sat
Zx , Roy and Jeremy , the Seniors
and Ks , Johnnie and Terry , my peers
roamed Vivo City , which I am now EXTREMELY sick off.
having seen the same shops more than 6 times in a month ...
it's starting to get VERY boring.
and the food at Vivo ain't fantastic if you're not gonna spend alot .
by alot i mean around $40 per pax.
if you're on a budget. the food courts here. aren't exactly cheap.
not to mention the food is nothing to rave about.
it's edible i grant you that.
had dinner at a steamboat buffet place behind daiso ...
after tax and service charge it's about 20 bucks for NSF / Students
a few things i like about this place are the
fried mantous ,
the sesame sauce *ma jiang* which lacks it's companion garlic oil =/
the abundance of mushrooms !
some of the cooked food stuff is not too bad too , the fried ribs are nice =d
after dinner quite bo liao ...
walk around ... see see look look ...
ended up at Gloria Jeans just chilling ...
only Roy got a drink in the end ... hahaha
not bad lar ... 3 bucks for two tables , and the chairs that come with them
=x
went on home ...
decided to take the long route , that is 65 straight from HarborFront Interchange
with KS and Johnnie ...
talked more ... about the usual silly things ...
we just can't grow up lar ...
though we all sorely need too
decided on the spur of the moment to make a stop at Mustafa to look look , see see
quite interesting this place ...
but 2nd time there in 2 days ... haha
would love to shop here once i've lost sufficient weight ...
the amount of candies they have here is =O
more of the old school things you'd miss
but a word of caution
at mustafa , the prices are priced ANY OLE HOW.
you can have items that are priced SUPER CHEAP.
or items that are priced SUPER EX.
you must know your prices well !
caught the near last 65 around midnight
and got home ... in time to feel the mega hottness and humidity
which i dare say is the worst weather at night i've ever experienced as far as i can remember.
i started sweating immediately after leaving the shower ...
and had no choice but to turn the aircon on
slept well though.
Sunday was boring.
Sunday was hot.
Sunday was humid.
I wasted Sunday away.
So I'll skip to Monday ~
Went to meet LimYi for lunch just now
last time we'll meet before he goes in for NS
of the male cousins , he's the first to go in ...
than followed by me ...
though by right , should have been me first lar ...
but i chose to go to poly ... BUT thats a different story.
had lunch at Astons , and i tried the iEat Burger.
THIS BURGER IS GOOD STUFF MAN !!
DIE DIE MUST TRY if you are ever there !
shall not elaborate ... i had fruits for dinner ...
thinking about it will make me feel like crap >.<
went to play L4D for a short while at Paradiz
than walked back to The Cathay to catch Knowing.
It's quite a good movie actually , the intensity is really there .
but the ending. SUCKED. big time.
really.
came back home , did 30mins on the bike
had fruits for dinner ._.
and spent the rest of the evening ... nuaing ... lol ...
so need to find a job ...
and WHERE ON EARTH IS MY ENLISTMENT LETTER !!!!!!
GRRRRRRR
that song you love ; keeps playing in my head

lets try this one more time
as of today , it's the end of day 2
of my diet / exercise regime
day one , managed to jog 2.4km before totally dying out.
yes that's how bad my physical shape is now.
also have dramatically cut down on food intake
having only about half of what i'd normally eat for lunch
no snacks except fruits
no sweet drinks , only ice water
for dinner was soup , abeit with quite an amount of ingredients , no rice and of course fruits.
day two , today.
met up with wei jie for the first time in eons ... ok not really eons ... time just seems to past rather slowly ...
decided to try out a "new" place reputed to have one of the best prawn mee in singapore.
took us some time to find it ,
and when we found it ,
turns out the place is more of a breakfast/lunch market
and we were like SHIT ... the stall better not be closed already
the first prawn mee store we saw was closing ... and we were like CRAP !!!
but than we realized ... eh this guy has zero newspaper cuttings ?!
and they have fishcake !
so can't be this store
we found the actual store one row away
and they were almost closing ...
not much noodles were left ...
we hastily ordered
the prices were 3 , 5 , 8 and 10 bucks
we both got the 5 bucks portions
when we saw the 4 rather huge prawns in our noodles (beehoon in my case)
it was a huge plus
wei jie went off to order fried prawn mee from another stall (apprently quite famous as well)
we tucked into our prawn mee soup
and FWAH . the soup was super delicious.
thinking of it now makes me drool .
confirm + chop i'll be there again sometime soon ...
perhaps i'll try the 10 bucks portion just to see what's in it ?!
went to mustafa after that cause weijie never went there before ... LOL
damn lot of things there luh ...
went home without the intention of eating anything but fruits ...
than mum told me that dad said go out for dinner ....
i was like ... than i better not go ...
so my family went out for dinner
i did 35 mins on the exercise bike
after the initial aches from not using muscles for so long ....
the feeling was good ...
the sweat felt refreshing ...
had dinner of fruits afterthat ....
spent the rest of the evening chatting ... and oh doing this blogpost ...
tmr's plan , jogging (hopefully) , fruits for lunch and dinner outside.
icebox ; where my heart used to be

better later than never
looks like i might be slightly more active for a bit ...
depending on what is there to say ?
anyway the time stamp should show last night ... but i'm writing this on the morning after ~
but that's not important anyway ... haha
spent half of yesterday waiting.
thanks to a certain mr heng hsein tze.
this ass asked me to meet him at 12noon at central. his work place.
guess what time i reached. 12.01.
what time did he get down ?
friggin 12.30. -.-"
so of to lunch. i recommended a place to him at central.
known for it's black pork.
a Japanese place that i first dined at when central first opened in early 2008
i'm not gonna say which one it is ... haha ... it's for me to know and for you to find out =p
anyway no pictures for that ... we were two hungry hungry guys so eat first talk later.
cause we were damn budget , we ate the Black Pork Shabu Ramen which was at 13.80
after GST and Service charge i was 16.20 per bowl
hardly expensive for good ramen !
the soup is boiled over two days and is very very rich
the pork is excellent though meager
and the noodles good quality stuff !
if you're ever out with me in that area ... perhaps you can ask me and i'll tell you which one it is ...
other that the ramen , the black pork tonkatsu which i had previously was also pretty good ...
i shall have it the next time i'm there bah !
oh and there was this very cute waitress at the restaurant but ... too bad she was very chinese ... if not i would surely have asked for her number !
we purposely hung around after finishing our food =s
lalalalala
anyway , mr heng had to go for his dental.
which up to this point he didn't tell me what for.
so he did.
knnccb. wisom tooth extraction.
thanks ar. i knew i was in for a butt load of waiting. =.="
not to mention he can't eat anything after that ...
good game.
made our way to NDC.
and indeed. a butt load of waiting.
we were there early.
but. they just didn't want to call his number.
and when they finally did.
it was just to get him to check certain things.
long story short.
MAJOR BUTT LOAD OF WAITING LAR.
so anyway , finally they removed his tooth.
and i couldn't stop laughing.
it was damn funny lar !!
he can't talk properly and his mouth looks swollen.
made our way down to Tampines 1 to meet Perlyn.
for some unknown reason, prob to do with food.
i don't like being around Tampines. TM, Century Square etc.
and Tampines 1 was crowded like nobody's business.
i step in , i'm already damn sian.
than again i was sian most of the day, lack of sleep
there was a crazy queue outside uniqlo.
i mean wth ?!
the beijing uniqlo was sooooo empty.
and much bigger.
and i didn't even get anything there than !
wols.
quickly made our way out of Tampines 1
and went to TM for a quick look around.
TM was DAMN empty.
like wow, first time.
checked show times , but all were quite late ...
and we weren't in the mood to do catch a flick anyway.
so decided to get out of Tampines !!
xD
and go to the Airport ~
pictures here
had dinner at the food court at T3 which was pretty damn sucky.
but at least Popeyes saved the day and we were pretty much ok.
Popeyes is <3
right ... off to L4D
the last thing on your mind ; will keep you at your best

insomnia
can't sleep. feeling damn restless.
this is day godknows since school ended.
and i'm jobless.
and without a fixed purpose in life.
which actually means the same.
the army doesn't want any of us yet.
so it seems.
and my luck with finding a temp job is exactly zilch.
so now i'm reduced to this state of boredem.
yet at the same time.
i just don't feel like doing a damn thing at all.
what a waste of time eh ?
just gonna give a rough run though what's been happening recently
as far as my memory can bring me eh ?
ok fine . i cheated . i'm gonna use facebook to refresh my memory of what i've done.
xD
