Busy week~

Loads of things happening and I simply have no time to updates. Let the pictures do the talking...
BMTC Passing Out Parade
BMTC 2, PTP BMT(L) 03/07 Batch Passing Out Parade.... haha... too many cameras, don't know where to look at... =P
Close-up. My very first batch of BMT recruits... probably gonna be my last too since the chances of me going back there is not high. It was a fun and memorable experience... =)

~ OC's Wedding ~
OC's wedding at Meritus Mandrian Hotel. Tasked to be a Sword Bearer.. haha... part and parcel of being in this line. This is my 4th time already... Its always very tedious and tiring because of all the preparation and rehearsal before the actual thing but its worth the effort when you see the overall effect. Typical Chinese Wedding Dinners are too normal. With the sword bearers marching in and forming the Arch of Swords, the effect is very different and add grandeur to the occasion... =)
OC and his wife walking down the red carpet... haha... I think the bubble effect provided by the hotel is kinda cool... different from the usual smoke effect...
The bubbles are so tempting that Nur and Terence wanna be part of it too.... hahaha....

Singapore Big Bike Festival 2007
This year's Big Bike Fest is much more interesting than last year's. For a start, the convoy ride was well organised and at least it happened. They canceled last year's Convoy cuz of the stupid international event at Suntec.... The ride was fun and it was one of the highlights..
The bikes from Super 4 group forming up at Kallang Mac.
Before moving off.. a group pic of some of the riders...

Getting ready to move off...
The Vespa group also getting ready to move...
On the way there... Can you see me??? hehehe.... =P
Forming up before entering Suntec with great fanfare~
And finally, here we are.... At Suntec City...

The most unexpected person I met during the SBBF~! My boss during my previous attachment CPT Liang.... you can call him MR Dylan now... haha... He quited his good paying job in the Army and venture into his own business. He set up a shop with 2 of his friends and they specialized in air brushing of cars, bikes, helmets etc... What's air brush? Look at the bike in the pic and you should know what it is... I'm glad that CPT Liang is enjoying what he is doing now and I wish him all the best for his venture. Goodluck~!
Some crazy way people dress up their busas... Not my cup of tea... haha...
And we have some pretty models to add colours to the bikes =)
And we have the professional stuntman, Ryan from Vertical Mischief... Yes, that is Temasek Blvd~! I guess he will be the one and only guy in the whole world to be able to do such stunts on that road... haha...
This guy is serious.....
Who says only cars can do "Donuts"...
Parting shots... notice the Superman T-shirts that all of us were wearing... It was sponsored by DC Comics, the shop at Suntec which sells T-shirts on Superman, Batman, Spiderman etc... =P


The Arrival of the Monster...
Finally after years of waiting, I finally got my monster...
Collecting at Mah Pte Ltd...
GSX-R1300 Hayabusa and GSX-R1000
Finally, Andrew don't have to wait for me anymore.... =)

BBQ with the buddies~

Had our almost annual BBQ session with the usual buddies. This time round Ian and Sharon can't join us cuz Ian is flying and Sharon has some duties at work... But a few Invites were given out and we have a few new faces joining us this time round. In attendance were:
1. ME~
2. Andrew
3. Chin Lee
4. Howe
5. Alvin Teo
6. Suresh
7. Lawrence
8. Edmund
9. Paul (Edmund's UK friend)
10. Nicolas (Edmund's UK friend)
11. Jas
12. Elaine
13. Chuiling
14. Anne
15. Martin

We were having a damn fun time as usual and it was really great catching up with all the friends once again...
Martin and me...
Chuiling and Andrew...
Andrew, Howe and Anne...
Paul, Nic, Edmund and Chin Lee....
Suresh and me...
Elaine and Jas...
The amount of alcohol they brought was ridiculous (this was part of it)~! We are having BBQ, not clubbing leh~! hahaha.... But we still managed to finish everything... =P
Chef of the day~! Chin Lee was doing 90% of the cooking... seems like he is having so much fun... I did my part too! By eating the things he cooks so as to ensure no wastage of food.... hahaha...
The guys....
The ladies....
Me, Howe, Alvin Teo and Andrew...
Lawrence doing his part to make up for coming late....=P
Preparing to get drunk....
And Andrew got the first King's cup.... hahaha... a mixture of chivas, jim bean, baileys and a few other kinds of alcohol which I forgot.... yucks~!

As usual, we can't hang around at my place for too long cuz the irritating security guard will keep coming to bug us to keep quiet. Eventually, we gotta move away cuz some bugger call the police to complain that we were making too much noise.... =P
The day would have been great if not because I was shouted at for no reason. We were supposed to clear the place, so it is normal that I throw away the stuffs that we no longer need. So what's wrong with me throwing away the ice? Clear the table, throw away the paper cups, plates and fork, throw away the uneaten food, throw away the ice, arrange the table and bring back the rest of the things we want.... isn't that the normal thing? What's wrong with that? And I just gotta be screamed at for throwing the ice away! Don't we have enough ice? I still have 2 big bags sitting in the fucking fridge and whoever wants it can be my guest and take it.
I fucking hate this feeling of being taken for granted, always being scolded for no fucking reason. I keep my cool and back off every time because I find no need to quarrel over small issues and jeopardize the r/s. Maybe that's why I am asking for it? Cuz whatever happens, I'll always be the easiest person to be lashed at? -___-""""

The day I learned how to make proper pasta....

Its a Sunday. A day to relax and laze around at home. Don't feel like going anywhere, thus decided to hang out at Andrew's place to cook lunch and watch VCD. Bought the stuffs at NTUC and we went straight into action~!
Since Andrew is a Chef, he shall do all the cooking..... =P
And me being a noob, shall do the preparation.... hehehe...

2 men cooking for Jas to eat.... hahaha... good life ah~!
And the end product... delicious meal for 3, for less than 25 bucks....

New Camera~!

Finally got my new camera after sooooo long... Its a Canon Powershot A570 IS. Got it at $369 from Comex 2007. After much survey and reading up of reviews, I concluded that this is the best camera my limited budget can buy.

Wanted to go to Zouk after that cuz of some Guest DJ thingy... But decided against it in the end partly because the queue was damn long and partly because I was simply too lazy to club. Hang around with Andrew and Chuiling at the Coffeeshop opposite Zouk and decided to test my camera..... =P
After Andrew and Chuiling went on to Zouk, me and Jas went over to Elaine's house to play mahjong. I didn't play cuz there was already enough people, so I ended up watching TV while they play...
They were drinking beer as they played and very soon Elaine and Geok became drunk.... And they started to do weird things.....
They didn't played too long and we went home at about 2am... Wanted to park at Jas's house and sleep-over, but I'm glad I didn't..... If not..... my vehicle might be part of this mess....
Yes~! This happened at the Multi-Storey Carpark where I always park my car/bike when i go Jas's place.... These people really have nothing better to do... Keep going everywhere to burn people's bike...
