Went to Chinatown with dear on last last Thursday. There’s still 3 weeks to CNY and the place is so crowded already. I was quite happy to go there for a walk with dear. Think she felt the same way too.
However I fell prey to fever after reaching home, so I had to spend the next day, which happened to be Hari Raya Haji, at my place. Wasted a good day at home. So sorry dear! Thank you for taking care of me while I’m sick. Love ya!
Went shopping for dear’s clothes on Saturday at Tampines Mall. Actually I thought dear would have more choices if we went to town, but too bad I have bad shopping stamina and by the time we reached town I would already be half-gone. Luckily we still managed to find some pretty decent stuff. She bought a white skirt (I like it!) and a pink polo tee. Then after more shopping then we found a very nice looking top for her (the type which I had been wanting her to try. It looking like a sweater with a shirt within). She din want to buy it at first as she was only trying out the top at my request. But it turned out that she looked pretty good in it, then I decided that I want her to have that top and in the end I volunteered to pay for it. Which boyfriend dun want her girlfriend to look good? J
Had a pretty happy weekend with dear. Looking forward to the next!
Though there’s no luck in basketball again. No basketball this week!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bro went for a cruise on last Friday, meaning that dad will be taking his car whilst I can gop dad’s van for the weekend.
Went to JB with dad mum n grandma last Friday night, din really get to see or buy anything, cos it was around closing time when we reached sentosa. Dad and me were hungry and had thai steamboat. It was pretty good and reasonably cheap. Other than that, nothing much was achieved. Wasted a good Friday night.
Was supposed to meet dear to go shopping for my new year clothes at orchard, so that we can end the day with a nice mudpie at NYDC. Picked up dear at her place and we went for prata snack at our fave shop. This prata session ended up costing me $37. $7 for the prata, $30 for the silly parking fine. (I wanted to put the parking coupon, but was too lazy. Should had followed my intuitions…)
In the end the weather was too fine to just go for shopping, therefore we finally decided to bring ah di for a walk at east coast. At the park, I mistook a big malamuk for a husky until the owner told me it’s the former. It looked exactly like the other husky hanging around there too, just that it is much larger. Their feature, coat, behaviour and even colour were identical, less for the size. The husky was only about half the size of the malamuk. I like these BIG, pretty dogs. Too bad I can’t keep them in HDB flat. After that, I brought ah di for a soaking session in the seawater, he din really enjoy it, but at least he din struggle too much when I carried him into the water. He looks much thinner when his coat is wet. Soon after we met a Pomeranian which played around with ah di. It was too fast for ah di and kept running circles around him, which ah di desperately trying to catch up. It was a pretty hilarious sight. Soon after the Pomeranian left, ah di saw a jack Russell on higher grounds and kept trying to find a way up to the park (we were on the beach, the park was about 70cm above the beach). Despite me trying to make him stop his search to chase the other dog (when it was already long gone), ah di continued to ignore my orders and kept trying to do his own stuff. I was pissed at such disobedience and immediately brought him back home. Next time I will make sure that he is 100% compliant with my orders before I bring him back to the beach to let him roam without leash.
Went to marina square for dinner at Kenny rogers’ with dear. After that we went for some shopping at carrefour then ended the day at NYDC. It was supposed to be a make-up celebration for our 2nd year anniversary which falls on Wednesday. The NYDC shop at suntec was also the place where dear and I spent our first v-day.
On Sunday morning we went to clementi for breakfast, before going to the Hay dairies farm for a visit. The goats were so cute! We had much fun feeding the goats and it was pretty ticklish for the goats to lick my hand whilst feeding them. So many people were afraid of getting bitten by the goats. But trust me, most of them are very tame and won’t bite. The goat milk was pretty yummy! Maybe next time I’ll bring dear to visit a dog farm.

Pasir Panjang Market
Went to Pasir Panjang wholesale market with Jiawen on tuesday night. It was quite an eye opener for I had never been there. The place was huge and goods aplenty. Though the timing was exactly good for seeing all the activities, but seeing the place would roughly tell you how the people work there. Maybe I’ll visit there again some other time. Pretty interesting. (why I went there? Its confidential)

IA
Been cycling to work for the week. Feels good to save money and time this way. Here’s a breakdown of the tangible benefits:
Time:
By Bus: Leave home at 0747 to take bus 293 arriving at 0750 (60cents?)
Reach the interchange around 0805, wait for 10 or 31 (80cents?)
Usually reach office around 0830.
Total time: around 45 minutes. (Timing for getting home is worse)
Total cost: $1.40 per trip
By Cycle: Leave home after 0800
Reach workplace around 0820
Reach desk around 0825
Total time: around 25min
Total Cost: Nil
Actually I dun even break into sweat whilst cycling to work, so its still not too bad, at least I won’t smell and there’s no need to bathe. (no bathrooms here too)
Downside: Bad weather

Think my sup saw me playing free cell on the comp on Monday. Though he didn’t say anything about it, but now he comes over more frequently. Probably to check if I’m still on the game or not. (Using MS Word to write my blog isn’t that attention-seeking) Ha ha ha. Well, its time to get serious at work. Got plenty of stuff coming in, must clear them ASAP.
Got a runny nose at my work place, but it seems to heal miraculously whenever I set out of the building to go for lunch or home. Perhaps the humidifier is spoilt or something. But only me n my EEE mate are the ones suffering. Maybe the old birds here are accustomed to it. But now I’m down with fever. Probably the runny nose I got from the office was the catalyst for it. One public holiday wasted at home….

Dear
I was a bit surprised when dear told me that the guy who bought a textbook from her kept trying to get to know her better. Hahaha. Ok, to those who are reading this, I would ask you: Would you feel flattered or bothered if someone you don’t know tries to ‘approach’ your BF/GF?
Initially, I used to feel the former. Somehow it sort of like proves that your partner is attractive, and it indirectly boosts your ego (to have such an attractive partner). However, when it gets too disturbingly close and frequent for comfort, it calls for some concern.
Brought dear along with jiawen to boon lay market for supper on Tuesday night. Whilst she was looking at the menu of one of the stalls, a table of beer-guzzling uncles were staring at her (dear didn’t notice it). I immediately stood in between her and the uncles to stop them from looking at her (no thanks to her FBT shorts). Until then did I realize that it doesn’t feel good if when your partner is attracting the wrong kind of attention.
Now I wonder? Why would any BF allow their GF to wear revealing mini-skirts to go out shopping? Free eye feast for those guys out there? (I admit I’m one of them) I’m not against mini-skirts. In fact, I love it. (on OTHER pretty girls) Just that I’d never allow my dear to wear it to go out. Cause she is mine.

change the name of my blog?
Since Kelvin has took over my number 9 and now I'm number 7, think its not appropriate to use junxtitans9 anymore. Maybe I'll shift it someday when I'm free
Updates
Stopped blogging for 2 weeks cos I was contemplating the idea of getting a thumbdrive so that I can write this at work (while slacking) and then bring it back home to upload (no net connection at work). Tried using floppy disk but it failed me.
Went to SL square with dear to buy her mp3 player yesterday. (No I din pay for it, though I really wanted to get her one as her present. Too bad, gotta think of something else now) Well, I din get my thumbdrive. Still considering whether to get an mp3 player instead. (No dear, dun ever buy this for me. Its way beyond the budget I had set for you)
Here are the updates of what has happened for the past 2 weeks.
Rugby
Lost at the quarters to Hall 6 by a score line of 5-0 (just one trial was scored).
Should have won this, we had plenty of good breaks, but just that somehow we din have the luck. I had a knock-on when I was clear thru and just 5m off the try-line. The backs had many good runs but just couldn’t get past the final man.
I was confident of scoring a drop kick from open play that day, if I had the chance. Too bad the circumstances didn’t allow me to try it. (1 dropped goal = 3 points, and we were trailing, so no chance)
But too bad the off-field incidents overshadowed the game. Shouldn’t dwell on it any further, enough has been said on the hall forum and I had already made my point known to all.
Although I planned to retire after this year, somehow I still feel something’s lacking.
IA
Its my 2nd week into attachment already. Getting a bit monotonous and boring with the lab work and reading up. Hopefully things will pick up and I’ll get more fun stuff to work with. Otherwise this 6 months would be a drudgery for me were I to continue doing what I’m doing now.
Basketball
Supposed to have 3 sessions of basketball this week. 1 at bishan and 2 at my place. In the end it was all crap.
Missed the bishan session on Thursday cos dad’s van went for servicing and he wanted to use bro’s car so we ended up with no transport, thus no basketball to play.
Played at TP on Saturday morning with bro, choo ter and ivan. Think we only played about 15 mins before it started to drizzle and exercise was cut.
Supposed to have Adrian n Jsheng join us on Sunday session, but Jsheng wanted to stay at home and Adrian was sick. Plus there were too many kids playing at the court, so we ended up going for dim sum without any action.
SO BORED!!! No basketball = No life….
Movies
Watched “The Aviator” with dear at Bugis Junction yesterday. Pretty long (3 hrs) and cheem show. Maybe its not really that cheem, just that they use a lot of American terms which neither me nor dear could understand. Cannot really figure out what the show is trying to convey too. Maybe I watched too many simple comedies at the cinemas, and went into this show with the wrong mindset. Hmmm, should have watched “My Brother” with dear instead.
Crap…
Bought a spoof Nintendo set last weekend at just $28. just to relive the good old days through playing those old games ( battle city, Mario 2, contra, etc) Pretty nostalgic huh.
Really missed those times when games were simple pure fun. No story lines or fancy complex gameplay. Just shoot the guy infront or stomp on those creatures’ top. Simple and little addiction too since there’s no need to spend many hours just trying to complete a game.
Dear
Had a pretty happy weekend (discounting the lack of basketball) with dear. Went ‘shopping’ and caught a show at bugis on Saturday. Went for prata at our fave haunt and a slow romantic walk at lower pierce reservoir. Nice weekend spent!
Sorry dear, for my lousy ‘stamina’ at shopping

Finally another blog!!
Its been quite a long time since I last blogged. Since today is my first day of IA so I decided that I might as well update a bit. I have done quite a bit of things, so maybe it would be nice to share it with those who r reading this.
Exam Results:
E311 – A E312 – B
E314 – A E316 – B
E317 – B E370 – A
E371 – B E372 – A
MB218 – D
Although I’m still short of one A to my target, but I must admit that this result is pretty neat for me. Though I think I still suck at examinable modules. As for the business module, it doesn’t really matter what grade I got as long as I pass it. So, there comes my 1st ever D in NTU. Hopefully it’s the last as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Holidays:
Vacation to Taipei, Taiwan (27/11 ~ 30/11)
Went to Taipei with my family. It was pretty chilling up there, averaging 18˚C in the day. Pretty cool huh. Though I feel its not as fun as my last trip there (probably bcos its winter, I’d prefer summer anytime!!!), I have at least fulfilled a long time desire of going back there for vacation again.
Standard Chartered Marathon 04 (05/12)
This is my 2nd try at the 42.195km run. Though I thought I had performed better than last year, my timing has slacked by a mere couple of minutes. Think its probably due to my over-cautiousness of over-exerting myself too early in the run, but its even more so on the super ultra lousy logistics. (I have paid $35 to join this damned run, some fools paid $70. But where are the god-damned drinks at every 1km mark? Why isn’t there enough water for everyone? How to expect us to keep running when we dun have water to drink for a consecutive good 4km? Darn! )
Well, hope it will get better next time (it better be)
IHG
Sepak Takraw
Got knocked out again in the first round. Lost two matches straight, when the 2nd match against hall 5 should be won. All thanks to those who are too lazy to come for training and those who treat sepak takraw with such contempt. As usual I’m the only fool who is taking this sport seriously. But sad to say, one man doesn’t make an island.
Rugby
Although I’m quite disappointed with the attendance and attitude of some of the guys towards the trainings, I must say that I’m surprised that we made it to the quarters. Its mainly due to us getting a good draw this year, avoiding those traditionally strong teams. Hopefully we can go far and make this a fruitful and glorious final season for me before I retire from rugby.

Today is my first day at work. Met 3 others guys from NTU on IA with me. Min Huat, Wei Li and Alan. Getting along well with them. Nothing much to do today actually. Hopefully it won’t be too stressful here.
Dear Lishan
Hopefully you are not sick of the BOMBARDMENT of smses I sent to you this few days. I’m really starting to miss you. Hoping that Friday comes fast enough so that I can see your adorable face. I LOVE MY DEAR LISHAN!!!!
