Hang Over Weekend
Had a bad hangover on Saturday... puke twice and was concussed almost whole of Saturday LOL. Was out clubbing Friday night with DXJ and Kathy again ^^, this time to St James Power Station.
My first time to this club too (ok very suaku I know...) Reached there around 10pm and we proceeded to DragonFly first. Retro music was playing but the people aren't too happening though, no one was really dancing. I think everyone was just waiting for the live band to start which it did shortly. The whole atmosphere felt more like a concert (or ge tai..) rather than a club with the band and the stage in the middle. The crowd wasn't what I expected either, I expected more kiddies but then there's quite a few "mature" people there, probably to see the live band ba.
3 of us weren't very impressed and we left after 2 or 3 songs (oh the gals were waiting see Sly sing...zzz) After that we were like exploring the whole place, ok it's really a maze and easy to get lost if you are there for the first time. Anyway ended up at Powerhouse and had a couple of drinks and finger food there, and of cuz drinking games :) We downed about 3 jugs between us, and quite fast due to the games...so we are quite "sieh" already around 12 LOL
Va messaged me that she is coming down to SJ after another gathering so we popped over to DragonFly to meet up with her and 2 of her guild friends. Va kept running around to her many friends at SJ, so din really get to see much of her, too popular lah! Anyway we hit the dance floor over there and I must say we had fun and enjoyed ourselves. Left ard 3am? I think by that time almost concussed le, dun really remember much LOL.

Managed to be sober enough to catch the Forbidden Kingdom movie on Saturday night. It was... so so OK, 3 stars from me. Now waiting for Ironman to open next week and the new show from Adam Sandler, "You don't mess with the Zohan", looks damn funny!

Highlight of the week goes to... getting 203 for my bowling game! Yes must try to attain around this score all the time keke. Might participate in the inter company bowling league happening soon, more updates on that to come :)

Goodbye Grandpa...
Grandpa passed away today in the hospital.
Got the message from my mum who was at the hospital then. I was kinda glad that I went down to pay my last visit the day before. Everyone is kinda expecting this day sooner or later but I guess even how mentally prepared you [think you] are, it still really difficult to let go when it actually happens...
On the other hand, I am happy... happy that Grandpa doesn't have to suffer anymore. If you had seen all those tubes sticking out of him and his labored breathing I think you would agree with me, even I can feel the pain :( Rest In Peace Grandpa, you will be missed by everyone...
To all who messaged me their condolences, I will be fine! Thanks for your concern :)

Qing Ming
It's Qing Ming festival this week and I went to pay my respect to my late Aunt. She looked after me when I was still a little boy but passed away when I was 14 due to heart complications :/ I don't usually go around Qing Ming but this year I thought why not, afterall it's the designated time...
I think I almost regretted my decision when I got on the way and nearing Bright Hill (Guang Ming Shan). The jam started right after turning off Bishan road, I was so tempted to turn back and come again another day. Totally terrible, took like 15 min to turn off a 50 meter stretch... zZz
Well since I already bought the offerings and stuff decided to press on and hope I can find parking when I reach the place, which I did, but paid parking... perhaps why less people wanted to park there on a Sunday (free parking at the HDB carpark outside). I would pay $1 anytime to skip waiting...
It was ... 人山人海 at the place (hmm I just realised I have no idea what that place is called...) They temple set up a huge tent at the carpark area and put a few rows of tables for people to make their offering. Managed to find a small space to make my offerings and then visited her urn. Did not stay too long, I can't really stand crowds!
---
As I was nearby AMK Hub then, decided to drop by the Fitness First gym over there. This is the first time I visited another branch of the gym outside of the one I frequent at Cathay. It was... the same lah haha :P except this branch has another studio for yoga and stuff.
I actually joined the BodyBalance class which is a workout combining Tai Chi, Yoga and pilates. First time doing this and I think I did pretty well, perhaps except the balancing bit. You doing balancing moves on one leg and at the same time straining your head to watch the instructor for the next move, I think you will fall too :P
Overall it was a good stretch workout for me that left me with side aches for a couple of days... hey means I did it correctly ;P

Funnnyyy
Here's a Youtube video on one of Jacky Wu's show, I hope you know Hokkien... (or at least maybe know how to scold :P) otherwise you wouldn't be able to get the joke! See if you can try not to laugh! [Translation here... but beware, it's... R rated LOL]

I love stick figure flash animations and here's page full of them. Must check out the first two Animation vs Animator flash, super cool. These people have too much time? But I gotta hand it to them for their creativity!

Ok got blogspot back at work but not blogger :/ (means can read but cannot post!) Well at least I got an excuse for not posting :P Here's a quick recap of what I wanted to post...
Last week...
Was at Wild Wild Wet on Saturday, 2nd time there this year. Was hoping to get a bit more tan but I can't see any difference.. :/ Much more crowded on the weekend as opposed to when I went on a weekday the last time, spent more time queuing for the rides..
Finally got a new set of speakers for the other comp. The JBL Spyro, dam chio speakers! I was getting bored of the conventional rectangular speakers and this caught my eyes, something different. Nice right?
Decided to get more active outdoors and got myself a pair of inline skates (and assorted gears) from K2. This is the entry level skates, was thinking after (if ever) I get better then change to the lighter (and more expensive) skates with aluminium frames. Been out with the skates about twice already and happy to say that I still can skate and haven't fell yet :P I used to ice skate a long time ago and the same skills can still apply LOL. Gonna take some lessons soon!
