Went to watch chingay procession on Saturday at orchard with dear. Waited so long for the event to start. In the end I dun think its really worthwhile to make the effort to go there squeeze with the crowd and wait for so long to watch something which you can watch on tv at home. The local atmosphere there isn’t any much more special (as compared to soccer matches or CNY celebrations)
Went to our fave coffeeshop after the chingay procession. Tried out some new dishes from the northern Indian cusisine stall. Their tendoori briyani set was out of this world! I couldn’t find any words appropriate enough to describe it. It was just simply too amazingly sedap! I’ll definitely go back to try it soon enough. Great food!
It was beach day again at sentosa on Sunday. The usual suspects were there, only with the addition of pam and DL gf this time. This was the first time that it rained on sentosa, after I had been there so many times. Played some beach soccer with some boys over there. It was pretty difficult to play on wet sand. I kept slipping n lost a contact lens. But it was still pretty ok, less for the abrasions due to the wet sand sticking to the ball.
Looking forward to the next weekend. Gonna bring dear to sentosa for a date. Dun think I’ll be visiting sunset bay again this time. Sentosa is more than just a beach!
Been quite bored at home these days, so I started to play CM4 (yesh I know it’s an old game now, people are playing FM, but I like old games, can?) I finished one season with Man Utd and won everything (less for the community shield where I lost 0-3 to arsenal). Then I thought it was so easy to win with Man Utd, so I chose to start a new game with boro, a team which I’m quite neutral with, and is not too strong to make it no kick. (as a Man Utd fan, I’ll never take Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City or Liverpool, in case I have to beat Man Utd) Maybe next time I’ll take a team from the lower divisions (I like Exeter from the conference! They have the same colours as Man Utd) Now let’s just see how I’ll win the Champions League with Middlesbrough!
Nothing else to update for this week!

Chines New Year!
This CNY was sort of a repetition of what I had been doing every year; visit grandma n granny, go Pu Ti Lin for dinner on New Year Day 1, visit Mrs Yeo, slack at home most of the time. Think the most notable new activity was that I went blading with dear, bro n sis at East Coast on Friday afternoon. It was pretty fun, considering I had never bladed at East Coast before (all I ever had were just self practice at the void deck n multi-storey carpark) Though I spent all my time with dear at the beginners' corner, it was still a new experience to go somewhere else to blade. Fun!
Well, at least CNY eve was also fruitful. Went to Marina Bay to catch the Fireworks with Dear, Dilong, Baocun, Dave, Gary, Dan & Gf. The fireworks was good. The bazaar was not bad, just that the crowd is a bit too heavy (but its really much better compared to Chinatown!)
Surprised dear with a mini BBQ at East Coast as a pre-Valentine's Day celebration. It was just for the two of us, on a quiet stretch of the beach. (the hammock n groundsheet I had kept since the army days came in useful. Ha ha) When it got dark, we had tealights to act as out light source. Pretty romantic sight! Lazed on the hammock when we got tired. The weather was good too, plenty of stars with little cloud cover. Too bad the camera won't be able to capture what we saw in the sky. Anyway, think Dear really enjoyed herself at this BBQ. Only if she did not have to come back to school on Monday, we could had slacked on the hammock all the way till morning!

CNY eve today...
Last week was bad, had OT for 3 days and came back to office on Saturday for a full day. Damned lousy company. Low pay and want to deduct some more (my original pay is 550, last month got only 430!). Still wanna exploit us. The only saving grace is that most of my colleagues here are quite nice people.
Supposed to shop for my new year clothes last sat, but after some trying and too many people buying clothes at last minute, I was put off and decided not to buy anything still after CNY, when the prices might be lower than what most would offer now.
Then went to our fave coffeeshop for chappati at night. The waiter there actually recognized me and dear. Haha. Had a little tete a tete with him. So funny to actually being recognized as a regular there. But I must say that the food there is pretty good and value for money too.
Went to sentosa on Sunday with Baocun, KK, Junfeng, Dan and Terry. Think it’s the first time that I have witnessed such low head count in sunset bay on a Sunday. Probably due to the CNY effect. Anyway, had a pretty cool (or hot should I say) time there. Perfect weather for suntanning. And think Baocun got burnt. Luckily I put sunblock instead of suntanning lotion, so think I should be the one with the least pain (of becoming human bak gua). Hopefully more guys would come on the 20th outing!
Today is CNY eve, and I still dun have the CNY mood yet. Maybe later after work when I go home to clean my room then will start to feel it. Its really quite true to say that kids enjoy CNY the most. As you grow older, you dun feel that much for CNY anymore, it just becomes another public holiday which lasts for 2 days, with big scale celebrations. Kinda sad huh. Well, enjoy the holiday while it lasts!
I still won't bother to beautify my blog!
