Oh my darling.. Oh my darling.. Oh my darlingggg Clementine.....

yippeeeeeeee..

i got a new lighter!

met Zainah today.. coz we planned to go to Esplanade to have a drink at a cafe there..

as she said.. she finally got for me a belated birthday gift.. and it was a nice gift..

just in time coz i lost my Zippo that Mima bought for me abt 2 months back.. i had wanted to get another Zippo.. but here comes a windproof Dupont!



anyway, i still mourn for the lost of that Zippo.. it was a stupid mistake.. i left it on top of my car and i drove off.. at least, thatz my theory of how i lost it..

so i wont ever lose this Dupont k...

so, i picked her up at her place at 6.. right after i fetched my mom from work.. was slacking at home the whole day before that..

we headed down to Max Brenner, a chocolate bar at the ground floor of Esplanade.. it was nice... i had the Venezuela White Chocolate drink.. damn.. itz nice.. just need to have a shot of expresso in it and it will be perfect..



ah.. tu dia.. she's engrossed with her ice cream..

after the drink, we went up to the rooftop terrace for a while... met the 2 friends of Aishah slacking there.. told me that Aishah just left..

so we stood there watching the river, and headed down there coz she wanted to bring me on a riverboat ride..

i had always wondered where the boats go to..

so we went down.. and she got the tickets for the boat ride..



tak sabar tu.. nampak sah..

saw a group of mats and minahs sitting near us.. now.. issit a new trend that girls wear their jeans and show their buttcrack?

itz damn fucking ugly.

yes, we like to see girls naked.

yes, we like to see cleavage.

yes, we like to see girls in bikinis.

but buttcracks?

i think itz the third one that i had seen this week. damn..

and thatz not including at the gig on Sunday..

so this mats and minahs were hanging around playing with a remote control motorbike.. ok.. nevermind.. mats and minahs are weird in the first place.. so ok.. lets stop talking abt them..

the boat arrived.. and we were at the berth..

there were an old angmoh couple.. and a family of Indonesian tourists..

ok.. now.. itz so fucking obvious that we were supposed to go in the boat.. and the family separated themselves on individual seats which normally can occupy two..

and when they saw that we wanted to get in.. they made a blurfuck face and look.. err.. no space..

wtf?

so.. the attendant told them to move back to the seats.. and they did it with a pissed face.. whatever lah..

and thru the journey, they were singing the Oh My Darling Clementine.. wahahaha.. and Zainah started singing that song..

sickening song..

luckily Zainah was there.. so it was a sight for sore Indonesians..

it took abt 30 mins to go thru the ride.. it was a beautiful sight..

we went thru the river, going into the parts where we dont normally see..



and i saw some places where i think i will hangout in, in future.. nice restaurants.. and we always wonder where to go for makan..

after the boat ride.. we drove down to the temporary Newton Circus Hawker Centre..

went down to our favourite joint.. the one and only Pirates Seafood.. yeyyy...

met my friend, the Pirate whoz always there.. and i was starving..

so we ordered Stingray.. yeahhhh.. the real stuffs are here.. in Newton.. not Lau Pa Sat or Makansutra at Esplanade.. (that one sucks)

ordered kangkong, and rice.. and we got so stuffed up..

damn.. i used to be able to eat more than this..

we left at abt 10+... and bought some stuffs at the petrol station before we went home.. got to her place at abt 11..

i have to wake up in 3 1/2 hours time coz i'm in the morning shift..

damn.. another morning.. erkz..

but itz ok.. today made up for more than that..

thanks for a wonderful day..

Alternative Loansharks

*yawn*

i just got back from night shift.. damn.. itz so tiring.. hard to stay awake for 12 hrz straight at nite..

i'm used to sleep late in the morning when i am online.. but when u HAVE to stay awake.. itz almost impossible..

i drank lots of coffee and 1 red bull.. air kuat..

one of my friends borrowed a hundred bucks from me just now.. it seems like somehow i become like a bank where ppl borrow money from.. i dont mind doing it once in a while and for close friends, i normally would be more than glad to help.. but most ppl dont even bother to return the money.. and strangely, when u lend someone cash, itz more paiseying to ask for it back.. i wonder why ppl who borrows dont feel the paiseyness..

maybe itz just a habit that they have.. they borrow from ppl as how they had been borrowing from other ppl.. so in time, the skin gets thicker.. and they dont really feel anything..

ikhlas is ikhlas.. to lend.. but itz LENDING as how it was promised..

if i say that i GIVE the money to someone, i dont expect it back.. but if it was promised as a loan, then u should make the effort of returning it..

the only time i had borrowed money from someone was for 24 hours.. coz i needed $3000 on the day itself.. and i returned the money the very next morning..

it was even less than 24 hours.. but i was so paisey to have to ask for a favour.. but luckily.. itz one of my close friends that i had known for more than 10 yrz..

hmm.. just as i am typing this.. i received an sms from him asking to borrow another 100.. which i dont think i will oblige..

therez another one of my reservist mates who have this habit.. just on a much worse scale..

ok.. he just called me.. and i told him that i wont be giving another 100..

ok.. back to the other fella. this guy owes money to almost everyone in the troop.. except for me.. coz i know that he's not the kinda person who returns money.. and he has the habit to borrow from anyone that he thinks have the cash.. he dont earn much.. which i do feel sorry.. but i had seen him drunk so many times and in my opinion.. if u wanna enjoy urself, do it with ur extra cash.. not with other people's cash..

or rather.. i think he borrows money for his necessities, but his own salary is wasted on his extra curricular activities.. he's married.. but with several girlfriends..

and his children are on bursary.. and since i had been his supervisor in the troop for so many years, i know his level of performance.. which i shall not get in detail here..

sometimes ppl need help..

i dont mind helping.. but take the responsibilities that goes along with it..

therez a girl who offered to help me pay for a deposit for an event coz it was along the way as she was gonna pay for hers too.. but in the end, she couldnt, and i end up forking another $300 to go there and pay for it myself..

logic tells me that she should have returned the $300 that i transferred to her to pay for it.. but instead, she used the cash and she disappeared.. not fully transparent coz i know where she is, but she just avoids me since then..

itz just a fucking $300. and it doesnt belong to u. why use it?

damn.. i'm whining.. but then again.. itz MY money and i am letting other ppl enjoy the fruits of my hard work.. i work for it u know.. not for those ppl to take it and spend it..

i'd rather spend it on my parents.. or my car.. or even get a new drum part..

and i'd rather spend it on my band and band members.. coz they are part of my family too..

and my close friends, especially those that i had known for ages..

lemme see how long this guy takes to pay back.. i hope he has some sense compared to a lot of other ppl.. i gave him the money just now coz he dont even have cash to eat.. but then again, so were the rest of the ppl who borrowed and disappeared.. they were in a sad state at the time of borrowing.. and i know this guy has 2 kids..

which brings me to another point.. marriage..

why do ppl get married when they are not financially secured?

why take someone's daughter and make her suffer with u?

u dont have to be rich to get married.. but i am sure u can live within ur means and have no need to borrow from other ppl, under normal circumstances..

the Staff Sgt that i was working with the day before yesterday.. SSGT Azmil.. was impressive..

he's known in his team to be very hardworking.. and he is polite, and he's married with a child..

he's 27 yrz old, and wife is a homemaker..

he ride a small bike to work, and he brings food from home..

live within ur means..

again, i shall say.. i work for myself.. not for others to take.. in future, when i intend to be a slave, i shall post it up here..

a different type of loansharks.. those that goes around looking for preys to reap..

Liars, Cheaters and Fucked up Mothers.

damn.. i hate waking up too early in the morning..

woke up at 6am today.. coz i had to report by 7.15am..abt to leave.. then i realised that i dont have my p-cap in my bag!

gawddammit!

and i was in a rush... so i just took my old one.. without a crest.. and rushed down to report for reservist.. managed to borrow a crest from one of my friends.. thank goodness.. so tmrw i have to go and buy a new one..

after work, my parents fetched me.. my mom landed in Singapore from Jakarta at 3pm just now..

we wanted to go to Tanglin Halt for nasi ayam.. for those who have not been there.. the nasi ayam at the coffeeshop POWER!

but we came a lil bit too late.. it was already closed.. they were packing up.. wasted my 50 cents parking coupon..

so we drove down to Hawa Restaurant.. and had our nasi ayam there instead...

during the meal.. the owner approached me and asked me to check for him how much would a US$50 worth.. he was holding one.. and it was coz a fella came to the shop and asked to change US$50 coz he supposedly dont have any Singapore dollars.. and had just arrived from Philippines.. and all the money changer were closed.. so the owner approached me coz i'm a flight crew and i might know..

when i touched the note, i knew it was fake.. i took out some of my American bills that i had and asked him to compare.. and then the fella asked to change US$100 instead.. and still the money looked fake..

i should have called the Police..

eh.. wait.. i *AM* the police..

but then again, I told the owner to tell him that he's not gonna change the bill.. and this fella left in a rush before we could do anything..

anyway.. there are 24 hours money changers.. at the airport.. and at Mustafa Centre..

another story..

hmm.. as far as i know.. mothers are inseparably bonded with their children.. or most mothers.. else they will still love their child...

except for a few cases, like Dave Peltzer...

but i saw a baby today.. whoz mother had left her in the hospital a day after giving birth to her..

she was so so so so so cute.. a day old..

so sad.. being born to such a fucked up mom..

i knew that she's fucked up.. dont ask me why.. i wont explain..

but she is..

so sad..

can u girls pleaseeeeeeeeeeee be good mothers?

oh.. by the way.. i'm working at night tomorrow.. :)

Aishah's 2 friends came down.. followed by Din in his Coffee Bean uniform.. and Isha and her friend Emerald... she had said that Emerald is pretty.. so she just wanted to show me how Emerald looks like.. doesnt look green to me.. but ok lar.. she's pretty..

i'm a last minute planner.. but i hate it when ppl plan with me at the last minute..
