Adventures of Oven 2

As promised,I made chewy choc chip cookies(CCCC) today.Not without mishaps of course.
After buying some milk chocolate from 7-11,damn suay la.Someone was moving house(when I took the lift down there was certainly no sign of anyone doing so)and took up all the lifts.I waited for 5 f**king minutes and they were still loading.So pekcek was I that I actually climbed TWENTY-ONE stories back home.yeah.Half-marathon training.
I was staggering a bit when I started preparing all the ingredients.As usual,chaos ensued and flour flew all over the kitchen counter.I don't know how but it happens.Yeah,scrimped on the chocolate by one cup and thought it would be ok.Who's to know that the cookie would swell to the size of a giant ham cheem peng la!?!Don't believe I show you. Yes,to your left is a 50 cent Singapore coin.To your right is a CCCC of the most unimaginable proportion.Don't worry,you need just one for lunch.Anyway,after some alteration and careful planning,the cookie shrunk.

Haha can you see the decrease in size?Yes,yes,it is no longer a giant CCCC,just big.After one and a half hours,I finally made it.I'm not sure if it's nice but I didn't convulse after eating 2.


One important thing.You can read and laugh at this.I mean the giant hamcheepeng.Please don't go telling everyone about it.If not next time,when I actually have a shop,people will think I'm selling youtiao.

And after that I went on a spending spree.Considered an adventure la,since it was pretty dangerous for my bank account.

?

still awake.
still awake.

still awake.
still awake.

still awakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzZ
shit still awake.

nothing left to do

once upon a time,someone told me blogging is addictive.
it's not addictive,it's my boredom killer.i really wonder if all that i write here is really what i'm thinking at the moment.it's not as if those famous bloggers do so.some of their entries are written for effects la.i think some of mine are too,just tt i dunno which one,cos they all sorta look the same.
1.30 am.it feels like 3pm.
and now im stuck between 2 really tempting choices.
1.No CCA,enough time to study and probably teach a few kids how to fail their maths and science.can run too.
2.Competitive rockclimbing.Late nights and less time for running.But happening.
I'm slightly veered towards the 2nd,cos i can't resist the attractive prospects of thrill-seeking and more buddies to talk cock with(if you still don't believe me,I enjoy human company,really).
When the time comes,you'll know what Spiderman chose.

another dilemma.i think i'm an emotional nut.no girl seems to touch my heart.
i think there's something wrong with me.very long nv have the "pong pong pong"-in-the-heart feeling.

Diary on the Run

Oh Jensen,what big calves you have.Of course,they're swelling.Lao uncle walking 4 Golden Retrievers.He could have been dogfood.Found my Garden of Eden.With fences.This is how Bishan park looks like from my room.Motivation.No excuse not to run.
up next,8km.

home

I'm gonna blog about my family.I've never mentioned them in here except for that time when i was complaining about my dad blasting hokkien songs at home.
Well,first about my 2 sisters.
The elder one isn't that close to my parents.Maybe because she's 23 already and working,so she's got her own life now.But when you sorta speak to your parents in monosyllables,something must be wrong.Not close to Mum and Dad,but believed to be related to the 10+ bags in her possession now.Works for Police Force.Recruitment officer for CV.You want what confidential info can ask me.But undertable la,security now a bit tight.
The young one is 17.Teen angst.Speaks to my father in an impatient manner.Ring a bell?We were as bad as this too.Maybe some of you still are.She's close to Mum,not close to Dad.My elder sis and I think her best friend is Mum.And her studies not v good.And she refuses to ask me any questions.Not very smart eh?
Mum.f/46/housewife.intro?Attending english lessons in amk ITE now.Damn,soon she'll find out the truth about all those profanities i hurl at her.She's a funny woman who doesn't think twice of disgracing her son.Ha.
Dad.46 and working hard.Doing his best to communicate with his teen,post-teen and adult children.Apparently,response he gets isn't very good.But I know he's trying and I talk to him too.He's a good Dad.Give him a A-.
Mine isn't a dysfunctional family.Just some communication problem.But we're still happy!Happier than ever i think.
Oh yah,btw im 21/m/nus.intro?Likes running sleeping reading and talking crap.And baking.Interested drop a line.I don't do special though.

panic king

Well,school's starting in a week's time.Like damn excited and sian and gancheong la.Matriculation on thurs then must rush back home to auction for module.can imagine the tension not?When you realise tt the module u covet rejects you cos u damn stingy nv put enough bid points,you'll know that sometimes you must do things till its damn kuazhang and overboard in order for them to work.
And so i worry about my timetable.i don't even know which class im in,meaning i have zero knowledge of my timetable for sem 1.shit more white hair.ahh!!!!!!one more pimple!!!
I was so worried last night tt i couldn't slp.Before i hit the comp,i was so flustered that i did silly things like rearranging my desk.And taking pictures of everything in my room.So now i showcase everything la.

Before operation

After.can you see the difference?The room is brighter now.I cut this out from an adidas shopping bag.And it has since become my mantra.Horses by me.The nice blue dunnowhat's frm bik.And the wire Jensen's made by dunno my angel or mortal.forgot liao.Pee boy from belgium.he fills up my cup for me.Probably my fav corner of the room.my bedside table.The leaf's from Joyce,whom i dunno went where to study what.my friends are running away.

There you have it,jensen's bedroom.notice i didn't take any shots of my bed.i don't want anyone to know tt i sleep on a powerpuff girls bedsheet.All that trash-talking is making me less nervous.So,principles of marketing better or making sense of society?

Sunday Afternoon

As usual,I'm at home on a perfect day made for going out and having fun.Why?I don't know.
Went for a run in the morning and ended up wheezing.Now I know i can't run when everyone is still sleeping.And I know why la.Cause I didn't warm up my feet.The soles ache like shit when I ran.Looks like I'm stuck to evening runs.Damnit.
Damn fucking bored.
All I can look forward to is gym tmr.So my neh neh can become big and my quads hamstrings and calves will become rock-hard.Dangerous,obssession is.
No lor I'm not a fitness freak.Yah you don't use neh neh to run but bigger looks better rite.Proportion baby,proportion.Train so hard cos I just want to complete my half-marathon.Anyone wants to join me?4th Dec Sunday.Very mafan cos the day before must go somewhere and collect the runner's pack.Go la.
There's no one on MSN i can talk to.Surely you've encountered this situation before.You run out of websites to go to,MSN's boring,you sit down there shake leg and stare at the screen.Then you blog about how sian I am today,how many hours I slept,what songs I'm listening to,what I'm gonna eat for dinner this kinda crap.CORRECT?
People go hall camp liao,Iive less people to go out with.Money dunno go where,want to go out also don't dare to.Spore so small,limited things to do.Watch movie until scared.Only thing worth waiting for is my Chocolate Factory.Willy Wonka's such a cool name huh.Bet schoolchildren laugh at his name now.Where's the innocence man.Oh yah,there's Stealth too.And so I contribute 13 bux to the film-making industry.
What should I eat for dinner.Leftover porridge or anything the hawker offers.Sick of thinking of what to eat already.With 5 coffeeshops and a hawker centre within 150m from my home,it's surprising how hard it is to find one stall which cooks well.Though there's the famous bak kut teh downstairs,just doesn't appeal to me.Aiyah broke liao la,eat fucking porridge.
Today's entry quite vulgar,though there's only 2 fucks.3 now.
Ever thought of how much water you drink a day?I bet it's less than 4 full glasses.That's about 1 litre.Drink more my friends.For the sake of health and your skin.
And do you know I actually have a scanner?I'm just too lazy to install the driver.Since my comp crashes every other month,I don't see the point.Sorry to all those that I lied to.
Don't snack too often.Think of how you're gonna fit into your fav pair of jeans that's already slightly tight.I have high metabolism so it's ok that i'm chewing on a choc bar now.
This sounds so much like a useless blog entry.
Anyway matriculation's on thurs 2pm for me.bidding for modules starts at 9am.like how fucking unfair la.then must rush home to go and fight it out.ccb.
And the fucking timetable nv show which LT to go to or tutorials held where.wonder which intelligent fucker planned it.So fucking stupid can work for NUS.Think my 4 yrs in there jialat liao.
Enough of my whining.Even im sick of it.Tomorrow will be better I hope.Pump till my neh neh burst.

Some things I've wanted to put on my blog

Haha these are some long overdue photos that I took with my Sony Ericsson K700i.It's a bit blur but make do.I just got the USB cable,so now i can download songs into my phone.How cool la.

I made choc chip cookies on tue.clara said she'd pay money for it.i orgas.
brownie with Haagen Daz macademia crunch ice cream.the brownie was hard as rock cos i first time mah.
sunset from home.spectacular view from here.many more photos of them actually but i chose my fav.
Copeland on acoustic.Caught them on Baybeats.They were great.

My super cute and cheeky cousins Megan and Faith.Together,we're the powerpuff girls.or so they say.I'm Buttercup by the way.

I think my toddler cousin deserves some air time too.Faith's bro.

This one is the most cutest and shuai one.His name's Jensen.

We'll Come Back Strong

MacRitchie reservoir was like Lake Placid.no terrifying mini tsunamis like those in kallang.and definitely looked less like a battleground.
But you see,on the land,all these JCs and sec schools were cheering like mad la.Was unfortunate to be standing in the midst of this VJC contingent."VJ!" "Ni-Ko-Las!" or whatever shit they were screaming.Speaking from experience,you can never make out what they're shouting when you're competing.It sounds like the gurgle when you flush the toilet.
Close fight between us Hwachong and steroid-pumping NJ.It was down to the last event,k2 500m.They had 2 boats,we had one.We came in last.So,Kudos to NJ,you escaped unscathed.
Next year you won't be so lucky.
HCJC Canoeing forever.

Bye Marie!

Today I had prata with my evil electrical twin.She's called Oven 1.
eating cold kosong cheese and mushroom egg prata wasn't really exciting.thanks oven 1 for choosing a seat under this hurricane fan.haha.
so much crap to talk about.so little time.
see you in december marie!
I will spar with your chocolate chip cookie.Winner eats all.

QET and more

Yesterday,I took a plane to the People's Republic of China to take my Qualifying English Test.It was intimidating and uncomfortable to start with."Ai ya,hao jing zhang wo!"."Xi wang ti mu bu hui tai nan."blah blah.Almost felt like the only English-speaking idot around.I finished with 20 minutes to spare,and spent the rest of the time watching these China mamas panic.And you actually wonder how u manage to complete your half-done essay within the next few 15 minutes.These PRCs were churning out so many words in this short span that I can't help suspecting that they crammed a few chinese characters in.Oh yah,and this guy wore business shirt and pants with those china sandals.classic.
And when I walked out of the examination hall,I thought I was swimming in the Yellow River.Get it?Get it?
Jensen damn bad....bloody racist.
Ok QET wasn't that difficult,just slightly unbearable with them around.

In The Red

All it takes is an hour of your time.
Go down there,fill in the registration and acknowledgement form.Have your identity card scanned and proceed to the doctor.Have your BP checked and your finger pricked.
Wait for your turn.
Move over to the deckchair and the nurses will prepare everything.You just have to be there.A anaesthetic shot,the extraction needle goes in,and just go pumping away.
After your bag is full and the needle removed,just rest for a while,apply pressure on the wound with a guaze,rest for 10 minutes.
When you feel ok,move to the refreshment section.That's everyone's favourite part.Milo,chrysanthemum tea,mineral water,sultana biscuits,filled biscuits.If you want to you can dabao a few home.Just don't get caught.
Right,all set to leave now!Remember to take your iron tablets daily.
You have just donated some blood to the needy.
Please people,the hospitals need a lot of blood from us donors to save lives and replace patients' blood during operations.It just isn't valid when you say you're afraid that you'll faint or the sight of blood irks you.Even worse,telling me you don't have enough blood to go around is enough to earn you one tight slap.Don't be selfish.Think of those who need something from you.You just get poked thrice,they have to go under the knife and let those butcher-surgeons play god.It's worth it.The bloodbank doesn't have enough to go around.

Baybeats 05

Ok,so i didn't see any crazy women throw their bras and panties onstage.no one body surfed either,probably because they know tt the singaporean crowd wouldn't bother carrying them through and will just drop them and leave them for dead.
Still,Baybeats was real entertaining and fun.kudos to the local bands simply for being there.I thoroughly enjoyed every performance,even the Malay songs by The Marilyns.Yah i don't understand a single word but hey,its all abt the music man.its universal.There was Serenaide,Electrico,The Marilyns.I heard some Death Of Cinema,really ambient,solid rock.Lucy in the Loo from Msia wasn't too bad either.Fronted by this skinny little girl with a big clear voice.Electrico seriously brought the house down with Running Away.couldn't help singing along.Oh yah and i saw the chiobu vocalist from Lunarin,though i didn't stay for their set.She's a real rock queen.
There's Copeland.This obscure band from Florida.Singer sure can sing man.Luckily Spencer(army fren la) told me abt them n i rushed down with lora to catch their acoustic set.superb vocals,real melancholic.and this lora was like gushing over him la.
"haha he laugh so cute."
"wah his voice damn good"
"eh he say he'll take photo with me!"
and how did i respond?
"yeah"
"yeah"
"really?"
never mind.their last performance at the Arena was electrifying.couldn't help moving to the beats.The drummer damn zai,the guitarist damn zai,the bassist zai,the singer damn zai.just zai la.they've this song "No one really wins",great vocals,nice chords,nice beat.check it out,maybe download it.can send me too.
and yes,people actually stand still when watching a rock concert.like what the hell?think concerto?chinese opera?eh move a little jiggle a little la.or you all stiff cannot move?every wed go mambo confirm can dance one la.cannot dance at least will learn to move your head up and down a bit.

see you next year at baybeats 06.

With or Without You - U2

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Slight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live with or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She's got me with nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

Wala Wala

Getting stuck in a cafe pub for 5+ hours would seem like jailtime to many non-drinkers like me.half a glass of Hooegarden was enough to do me in,think i was glowing like that red traffic light down the street.
BUT...
you don't know how Ingo brightens up my day.And Wala Wala too.
All those crazy psychotic forfeits,namely licking chili off opp sex nose,bite ear,lick chin,kiss cheek,bite eyebrow(what the hell),tongue to tongue!!!!And my personal favourite,tickle opp sex armpit.Hahaha,what irony.I thought of that and eventually was punished for being such a sicko.At least I got my nose licked by Faith!haha.Forfeits courtesy of Siaohui the Siao Char Bor and me.
And EIC wasn't as bad as John made it out to be.Perhaps because Jack the lead singer realised Clara got the hots for him.haha.And they played Yellow!So damn cool song.And With or Without You by U2.thats one of the saddest song i know.And Jack came down to make small talk with us too,that's cool.No airs.that's how a good guy should be.Jam & Hop Session in NUS Central Forum on Aug 12.FOC.dunno what time.all you 67 and canoeing ppl go la.Siaohui u owe me advertising space.
AND...
who the hell cheers in holland village?love in the first deg,ingo wooosh,funky chicken by haojie in wala wala.haha.mad mad mad.

Thats's what cracks me up.Spontaneous insanity.

And for those wondering,i see these guys every other day.that's y the blog is abt them for now.

union camp 05 Ingo

you can say this camp beats every other ive attended before hands down.the babes,the way things work,my OG,the superb guys,everything falls into place and forms this well-oiled machine that runs so smoothly.and with me riding with it i had a real comfortable and satisfying trip.not to mention enjoyable and crazy.
Im from Ingo,group 4 and colour purple.it's not ku niang ok,purple is cool.i have a purple tee before i joined this camp so i hear anyone say i bapo i'll slap u silly.pool games,beach games,war games all so siao on,just like me.and we want to win everything,which is what i look for in my team mates.what a combination.
injury-prone as i am,the number of wounds i sustained in these 5 days are the highest ever in my life.4 bad ones and numerous scratches.hate the disfiguring bruise on my nose bridge brought upon by 2 bastards swinging a pail of water into my face during one of the pool games.i was defending my group lor.nvm worth it cos we won.
the beach was cool,the searing heat and happy sun gave me this beautiful tan tt makes me look so indian.all that bikinis....wah.....
war games was fun,but only becos of our spontenaiety.playing leap and bound la,taupok la,throwing puke around.almost as fun as hwachong war games.just tt no ketchup and flour.lotsa mud though!wallowing in it brings back great memories.bayonet assault course.sgt pouring water into the bloody grd and expect u to crawl ard in it.
and who can forget the banana cheer.it goes like this:
this is my banana,na na na na(put hands up and gesticulate big 'banana')
this is your banana,na na na na na(little finger)
chop off your banana,na na na na na
now you have no banana,ha ha ha!(Dr Evil laughter)
quite sad to leave the camp.yeah.but the cheering and singing and dancing definitely helped lift my spirits.how long did that take?30 or 40 minutes of crazy screaming?that is what i call real fun.
Ingo you rock my world so hard......
will post pics soon.who's looking anyway haha.

after tt,another tan,at the situp bench.in front of 3 indians.like i care.
dunno my armpit got tan or not.later go and check.

gillbates

winner of the best customer service award goes to none other than yours truly.
smiling and standing stationary for 2 consecutive hours,at least 250 good afternoons ,who else can wrestle this honour from me?
i smiled for everyone.
you may say,y bother right jensen?they just want their bloody ticket and see bill gates dig his nose.
this is a test of my patience.to see if i can ever make the cut in the service industry.if you can't even give one little smile for the one you're serving,wham,wiped out.
but whats the best thing?some of them smile back.
and everytime they smile back,there's some warmth in my heart.
and there are funny incidents of course.like the man with two tiny mice in his nostrils.feel like pulling them out for him.and this guy who asked for a longer string.almost blurted out "mister,your head too big la,think you need 2."
end of the day,everyone's happy.
