Comic Web page Review & Saturday Barbecue Review

http://www.randomkick.com/ (Click here)
This is my friend's comic web page, his comic strips are sketched by himself which shows the creativity and humour behind this guy. I've never been interested in any comics before although I do read Archie and Lao Fu Zi when I was much much younger or getting Archie at Times News Link at the airport before my flights. Till recently when my friend Boston created this, it really entices me looking forward for every strip he draws which will be updated every TUESDAYS, THURSDAYS & SATURDAYS. It's really interesting and Boston is really talented in doing this as even in real life, he's really as interesting as how his comics are (in a positive way of course). So do tune in for his creative work on the days stated above. Randomkick does has its own Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150150497060090&set=a.388186880089.204731.545940089&ref=nf#%21/home.php?sk=group_169259089775726&ap=1 (I know the address is very long but just click on it to get you into the page on Facebook).

And now! Here are the pictures of Saturday's Barbecue
Wine, beer, sparkling and hard liquor....we have all it takes to make one blabber rubbish towards the end of the night.

Happy people when alcohol is the highlight of the night
Look at the amount of beer, not that many as most were taken and consumed already
Happy Nathanael
Just a fraction of what we had
End of it!


Guys, we shall do it again in lets say about 2-3 weeks time....not too often, must pity our liver and also too much barbecued food, cigarettes and booze might lead to cancer..touch wood!

That's all people! Enjoy!

I'm thankful for the advices of people supporting me to get into the army. But there is no reason at all to keep reminding me that its 2 years and I should get it over and done with as the fact is that, its not my choice to choose whatever date to be enlisted for fuck sake. You guys think I do not want to get in and think that I'm wasting my time? I'm sorry to say, I don't belong to the MINDEF and cant suka suka anyhow enlist myself into it as soon as possible. Having said these, I hope the sincere and good gestures of you guys will somehow be logical to me as I do know that 2 years in the army lags myself behind others, so just leave it to the right people to say when I should be enlisted.

I guess I need botox on my forehead, realised alot of people including family noticed that I'm always frowning... I do notice it too even when I'm brushing my teeth, maybe its the ongoing stress and turmoil over the years which has resulted to this. Now I think people wants me to have a stiff forehead like Nicole Kidman..haha

Oh yea, regarding about the barbecue on Saturday, it was fantastic and I was too intoxicated to remember most of what had happened towards the end haha.. But I will upload the pictures soon in my next post and also will do a review of a comic web page my good friend has created.

I will be out of town too, leaving this week on the night of Thursday and will be back on Sunday evening. So wait till I'm back to give you all more doses of my world but of course at the mean time, there's still Tuesday, Wednesday and early part of Thursday to view my blog before I leave.... I could be heading to Hong Kong, "could be" heading when I come back on Sunday then might catch a night flight and be back on Tuesday....Mom says see howwww...

Got a shock from Mom, she came in to my room and said that I'm working and should pay my own phone bill which cost <$100 for this month, I was like HUH!!!! Then I told her to postpone it to next month...how sad aye.... always towards the end of the month, she's full of surprises for her one and only son when he's about to get his meagre pay... what a smart and calculative career women.

Be right back..

The long anticipated day has arrive!

Lost of sleep due to the excitement of today, drunken and smoky night I can call it! The weather is freaking humid and the sun is scorching hot which tells me that, it'll be a perfect day to swim and barbecue all day long.

My maid helped me with the chicken curry and bee hoon today...yummy!

I gotta leave now and update you guys tomorrow...

Oh yea, about my autobiography, I will update you guys soon and one more thing, I will be promoting an online comic web page when I have the time. The comics are original and made by my good friend. So be patient and I'll give you guys the link soon.

Ciao..

Can't wait for another long awaited barbecue planned a week after our previous one. We actually planned last week on the day of the first barbecue itself. How swift was the arrangement aye!

Time flashes by at the blink of an eye as the days go by, week after another and month by month...who knows when I could be in the army and serving my duty already.

I'm totally lagged behind the movies, last one was a Chinese horror/comedy by Mark Lee... Shocked for many but its true. I really wanna catch up with the new ones but no 'kaki'. Like seriously I've been quite busy with work and pre-plans, but when I'm free and am able to catch a movie, its either an inappropriate timing or no one wants to accompany me like what the fuck... Oh well, how I wish I can be more diligent and take the initiative to just get one ticket and watch all by myself. Maybe a movie marathon :) Soon soon! To all ungrateful friends and people out there, you guys gave me no choice but to think of this ridiculous, silly, lonely and uninteresting idea so a big THANK YOU to all!

Can't wait for tomorrow! I'll be lonely once again hours before the commencement of the barbecue tomorrow evening. So guess I'm just gonna swim all by myself, soak up some sun....smoke and have a drink as if I'm in a resort but the fact is that, its all bullshit but of course I will still swim la and chill all alone!

That's all!

Promoting aye?

Hoped you guys love my first part of my Autobiography. It's really based on my true life so as you know. I will try and write more about it over time, so be patient alright.

Anyway now at work, yesterday after knocking off, met my bro, had dinner and then lastly chilled out at Miss U Cafe at No.14 Jalan Burong, along Upper Changi Road right after Bedok Simpang. A nice chill out joint and relaxing ambience. They have quite a good selection of wines and a wide variety of food to order. The wine prices, well all I can say is that it's really affordable. A bottle of Merlot from Chile just cost $30++ whereas at some places, a bottle of Linderman from Australia costs $60++ which is way too overpriced. Most importantly, it closes at 11.30pm but yet they still do allow their patrons to stay up to whenever time they want as they'll leave the chairs and tables outside. Great to smoke and sip some wine after a long and hectic day at work or whatever you're doing.

Reached home and felt a little depressed though, house was quiet as you know both my dad and sis are not around, mom was out of town for business too. All I could do was shower and lie on my bed pondering about everything that is going on, family, friends, army and some other stuff. Although this is the negative part towards the end of the night, I wont deny that I really had a great time at Miss U Cafe having wine, talking cock and of course having a serious conversation too.

Oh well, gotta head back to work, shall set the negativity of everything aside and concentrate on what I'm currently doing right now.

Autobiography (I)

Something about myself

Born and 'bred' at my maternal grandparent's place since being carried out of the hospital after birth.
Mom did her confinement at my grand's, when it was over, she went back to her work. Dad had his own hair salon (unbelievable but its true) at International Plaza called "Jason & Gary". Didn't go to playschool and of a certain age, was enrolled into the government's kindergarten by my grandmother. I really love her so much. She queued for hours just to get me enrolled into this 'kurap' child-torturing place. I cant really recall much about my pre-schooling days except for the part whereby I'm always staring outside the window waiting for my grandmother to receive me home from school. I grew up in the heartlands and its the usual HDB-block catching, roller-blading under the void-decks and so on...

Eventually, my mom had gotten a domestic helper to ease the duties of my grandmother. I attended primary school and shifted to a Maisonette which I still resides in at Bedok South near Kew Drive. It is a very quiet, clean and serene neighbourhood. Although I've shifted, I still know where my roots were from. Everyday without fail, I will head to my grand's place and have lunch and spend time with them. At this point of time although I've grown up, busy with work and with my own personal life, I still make an effort to head to my grand's every now and then, if not, I will give them a phone call and ask if they've eaten and things like that. At times I really do feel guilty that I have so much time and always meet up with my friends but not head to my grand's for a meal or whatsoever. Don't worry, I will do better and see them more often as I love them so so much.

That's all for today, gonna head back to work.

To be continued....

Back to work for the week, how exciting

Was suppose to have some drinks at 1 Twenty Six at Big Splash last night (Upon Laura Tham's request and my suggestion of venue), but wasn't successful as Ms Tham was deep asleep, whatsapping and calling came to no use at all for the 3-4 hours I was trying to get to her. Haha, left Marcus and myself stranded and stayed home with no plans at all. So we decided to trick her by telling her that we waited for her at the bottom of her apartment and left at the end. Just whatsapped her about this though, but have yet to get her reply. Marcus intention was to make her guilty...haha, good one! Just a random information about last night..

Its been a couple of days since my first post, hope everyone is interested and showing support to my blog :) Its really interesting if you talk about shit for some time and in the future, review back and laugh about it.

Anyway, I gotta head back to work now..

Summary of the Barbecue yesterday

Here are the pictures from last night, although some were left out as they were LATE!
Penfolds Bin 8 Red


All of us except for Nav and Boston...late comers!

Sausages, beef, wings, portobello




Enjoying uh Marcus!

Good wine!



Alright, that's all for today. Guys! Don't forget, next Saturday, same place, 5pm with your board shorts and towels. We gotta finish up our remaining beer at once with the combination of Bee Hoon and Chicken Curry.

Unconscious night of great food, drinks and company

30 odd bottles of Summit Beer with a volume of 500ml per bottle and contains 5% of alcohol, 3 bottles of red wine..Shared among 8 people is not a joke at all. Its unbelievable but we did that and survived it. No cases of anyone regurgitating or whatsoever. In fact, everyone had their equal share of fun and enjoyment.

We were glad that although we made loud plunges by jumping  into the pool, continued grilling the food and the music we played from my X-Mini speaker, no one complained and we managed to have fun till 3 am by the poolside. We had to actually pack up and leave by 10, the security didn't interrupt our fun so it was a reason why we could stay on for like an additional of 5 hours.

Anyway, we had a sumptuous feast, portobello, steak, crab meat, sausages, wings.

Fun and laughter was the call of the day. Never had such a wonderful night spent with friends for quite some time. Thank you guys for making this happen, without your contribution (monetary terms) and your presence, this gathering would not have been successful. Anyway if you guys are reading this, please remember next Saturday 26th February, same place, 5pm, please bring your towels and board shorts or whatsoever... Menu for the day is Bee Hoon and Chicken Curry, plus our remaining 20 bottles of beer! Call me to RSVP or anything..

Anyway, this is for my friends whom are selling their stuff at Zouk, wish you guys the best of luck! Wanna head down actually, but decided to rest! Sorry brother! Hehe. Oh yea, shall upload some pictures later yea.

To be continued...

Rise and Shine

Woke up at a unexpected time, how disappointing.

Oh well, I need to get ready now, got a day full of things to do and lastly my barbecue tonight...hehe...repeated so many times.

Bye!

Before my sleeping pills take effect

Working has made me more sensible in terms of what I earn is what I spend(not sure if it sounds logical). I've learnt the value of money as I no longer depend on my allowances because I don't receive them anymore so as you know. Although I've learnt that, its still back to square one whereby when it comes close to an end of the month, I'm always broke. Of course I do realise that most of my money is spent on food, coffee, cab and other ways. I've been more frugal these days as I take a bus to work, to and fro without fail. Hard to believe for those who knows me well enough, but its true. I'm trying to save but its difficult as I'm so used to staying out of home which in a sense [staying outside of home = spending money] if you guys get what I'm trying to express.

I love people around me when I'm of high spirits and I dislike staying at home as its relatively quiet. But I do enjoy moments whereby I'm alone at home to ponder and just do nothing at all with no one around me...PEACE is the word.

I don't know why I'm talking crap now at this time but well, just wanna waste some 10 minutes or so before turning in. By the way, can't wait for the barbecue tomorrow, not any special occasion to rejoice about but just a simple, drunken ed and wonderful night with great company to put it in another way...

Night!

A Friday to end off my working days for the week

Woke up feeling fresher than usual as my cough which had been bothering me for 4 weeks had finally shown progress from the eeky sweet black cough mixture consumed thrice a day....Yucks! (Although it makes you sleep better)

Was at CMPB earlier on to check my enlistment date...as I've said from my very first post, I've been bumming since my medical screening last July. Decided to make my way down with dad to clarify and make an enquiry only to realise that its still pending but at least they gave me a hint whereby I'll definitely be enlisted either in March or June. Fuck! Did I mention March? Its next month for heaven's sake! Its scary but oh well...arghhh! I'm so unfit and unprepared you see, that explains my paranoia and negativity towards it. Whats more, I have friends whom shared their experiences to me..good and bad, but I only concentrated on the bad side and see what had happened to me? My balls shrunk..sad aye??

Went to collect my 2 cases of beer earlier for my barbecue gathering tomorrow which I organised and procrastinated since last year even before I went to Japan on the 16th of December...FINALLY its happening!
A very special beer from my mom's ex-company. The only plastic bottled beer in South East Asia you know! Can't finish consuming? All you do is just cap it back on and leave it in the fridge for prolonged freshness. Wanna know more, firstly, get to know me first and once you have my contacts...then we shall see from there!

Anyway, I'm so excited for the barbecue! It'll be steak, salad, wine and tons of beer! Am salivating right now!!

Anyway, I gotta head back to work!

Satisfaction

I'm glad that my statistics shows that there's relatively quite a good response with the viewers reading my blog though. So elated and seriously, it lifted up my spirits as I've so so so so freaking much to share, say, complain and rant about....
This shall be the last post of the day and I'll prescribe more dosage of my world reserved for tomorrow. See you!

Please do not hesitate to comment. Thanks
Thumbs up for my job well done!

Welcome everyone to my first humble entry

This is my first entry since June 2009.

I've been contemplating whether should I start once again anot. But oh well, started already since you guys are reading this now.


Since its my first entry, shan't talk about what had happened today, anyway its just an ordinary day but still at least I did manage to clear some disputes or I'd say doubts.

I'm currently waiting for my enlistment date into the army since I've decided to withdraw from NYP last year and even did my medical in July. Look at the time of the year now, its already coming close to an end of February but yet no news no nothing from MINDEF...
I should count it both as a blessing and misfortune.
Blessing whereby I've been bumming too much, drinking, smoking, partying, working, go broke, coffee, travelling, shopping and not exercising for the past 6 or 7 months! Oops! Did I mention smoking?
So unfortunately, I've wasted plenty of time as I did not complete my Diploma and am now left with just my O Levels...how sad is that for a 19 year old. But I'm glad 2010 had passed as it was quite a rough year for me...

Now since its still kinda like the beginning of this year, everything has been turning out smoothly. Although dad had moved out due to the divorce, my sister Amanda too left for Melbourne for her studies (but will be back in June or July la), mom getting extremely busy with work and keeps on traveling like a SQ stewardess and also friends leaving for their studies overseas....I'm not so lonely after all as I have the best, trustworthy, caring, helpful, thoughtful and all kinds of good words that can describe my friend or you can call him brother like I do in my life since last year actually and of course my younger sister who I need to spend time to care, nurture and discipline!

I really do hope that I'm disciplined enough to give you guys enough dose of my world every now and then, and definitely not abandon my blog online like I've done twice already.

Please do not hesitate to leave a comment.
