Drivers...

Last Monday night, sweetie and I went to catch Hustle and Flow at Vivo City. We were liked waiting for bus 963 for half an hour and still no sign of the bus so we decided to catcha cabbie instead as the movie was starting soon.

We boarded a Premier cab at Bukit Panjang and the driver was a an old uncle. I told him we wanted to go harbour front and he actually offered to take PIE den CTE! I was liked NONO! That is a super long detour! Should take Bukit Timah Road den head to AYE then to Pasir Panjang. He agreed and he drove. But guess wat?! Instead of turning to Cashew Road to head on to Bukit Timah Road, he turned to Bukit Panjang Plaze direction and went on a detour to head on to Bukit Timah Road. Arghh....

Thinking maybe he didn't know that Cashew would be a shorter journey so I told him that he could use the road in future if he needs to go Bukit Timah Road from Pending. Instead of being grateful, he accused me that I told him to go that way! I was liked WTF in my head? Then he went, both ways not much difference. That day my mood was pretty bad and basically he rubbed salt into my wound! I told him off straight after that! I said: "Of course not much difference, you're not the one paying!"

I guess my sweetie was pretty taken aback by that! Anyway when we reached Vivo, he charged us 15.50 in total. 12.50 for the distance travelled, 3 for the surcharge. Both of us thought it was weird. Why was there another 2 bucks surcharge when we boarded the cab at 9.15pm? The 1 buck is for PH eve surcharge and we could understand that. According to him, it's ph eve and every cab is charging 3 bucks. We were running short of time so we paid but I gotten him to write down a receipt for me. Made a call to the call centre and waiting for their reply!

Today I went out of the house 5 mins later and I almost miss my company transport so decided to call the uncle to wait for me! I was there exactly at 7.30am and he started screwing me when he saw me! He said I kept doing this but this is the 2nd time only! So I retaliated! After got onto the bus, he went on again! I was so pissed off that I told him "enough is enough!"

Previously after screwed by him, I decided not to take the transport if I left my place 5 mins later. Therefore, everytime I reach work late and my manager complains about that. Today decided not to let my manager complains, I called him and once again I was screwed by him! Come on! The memo wrote the bus will wait to 7.30! What's wrong with him man? Why all the service drivers are like that?

Side track abit. I find myself too full of complains and I have decided to change! Will change to suit the environment! Mark my words for those who are reading this! I will be a BETTER MAN!

Today super bad day! I am running a test now! The entire test is so slow and the sludge is so stinky! After breathing in(despite with a mask respirator on), I feel unwell! My lungs seem so tight and I feel difficult in breathing! Why all the shit things come together? I wonder what is next?! Hopefully my manager allows me to return to home to rest.

Change of World

A quiet day in the office! Only 3 staff including myself from the sales team are in the office. One perm staff, one part-timer and one intern. Guess this is the best time to blog! Actually I blog last week but I fell asleep and my mum switched off my laptop and there goes my posting. sigh...

The previous Sat, I nailed 3 new tricks and last sat I nailed another 1. Oh! They are all surface tricks. Despite I nailed the tricks, there's a price to pay! Had a number of face plant and back slam! Now my freaking neck is aching liked hell! I almost injure my knee during the previous training! Had a bad landing during 2 wakes jump but luckily I had the kneebrace to hold my knee. One more surface trick and I am cleared with the novice surface tricks list and welcome to air tricks! Coach Ed wants me to compete in intermediate next year which I am pretty sceptical. Anyway will see how things go and decide later.

I have started teaching beginner to wakeboard at BCP. Last Sunday was my 2nd time and this coming Tuesday(which is tomorrow) will be my first time leading a grp over despite Long will be around to supervise. Last Sunday was a great day for me! A day that changed my status!

Early in the morning, I met this grp of 10 plus people. Majority of them are couples! This particular gal seemed so farmiliar but I simply can't remember who is she. Anyway I din bother to find out till I reached BCP. During the journey, she caught my attention again and again. The first contact I had with her was at the custom. The next contact was when I taught her how to wakeboard. And it was also this time that I got to know her by name!

She fell off from the kneeboard during her first attempt but was successful in the second. Then I started chatting with her and this time Mike came over and joined in the conversation. Mike asked a question which made me very embarrassed. "Are you single?" I was liked, GOSH! WHAT THE HELL? in my head! He then started promoting me and all... haha... funny dude!
But that was the question that brighten my day as her answered was "Yes."

Feeling shy and happy, I started riding. Went a few round and came back. Started exchanging smiles with her and having small talks here and there. Finally had a good long talk with her after lunch and that was the time that I found out we have a lot of similarities. Musical, ballet performance, seasports, school and etc. This was also the time that I found out why she looked so farmiliar to me. We agreed to exchange contacts so that we can ask each other out for these performances.

That Sunday I was trying to learn to pillion people while riding. Firdaus became my passenger but I simply couldn't do it. Did a few times but I failed! Later in the day, she gave me the honour to pillion her. She was my first female passenger! COOL! I was so excited despite I failed to launch off again.

The day came to end and we had to leave for our ferry! I was liked thinking of how to ask her number though she has agreed to give me. When I got into the ferry, I saw her outside the loo and I guessed this was the opportunity and I went for it. She told me she would give me later. Long told me the best time to ask her number was at the the checkpoint.

I started walking slowly in front of her and also get her to take my wallet out from my bag, hoping to be in the same queue as her. I managed to do it she was just in front of me and I was liked hesitating with my phone on my hand. Her frenz tabbed her right shoulder and she turned and looked at me. This moment I plucked up my courage and seized the chance. I went "So can I have your numbe now?" but before that I thanked her frenz for helping me.

Wedding and Birthday

Last weekend, it's my Sister's 21st birthday and my primary school friend's wedding. Gosh... My sister is already 21! I can still remember when she was sucking a milk bottle then... Times really fly! At the birthday, met her frenz and know some new people.

Now that she is 21, she is on her own from now on! Guess that's wat 21 is all about! I still remember I celebrated my 21 birthday during BMT! SUCKS!!!

Besides Wenhao is married, Edna is married too! During the dinner, we were like speculating who will be the next in line and who will be the last. I guess I will be the last one looking at the rate I am going. hahahaha... It's a total different ball game I think. Everyone has their thing to look for in life and my is a career of my own currently! Marriage has to be delayed abit. Hope that my sister can get marry first and produce a baby for my parents to "play". hahaahahahahaha

Besides wedding and birthday party, I went down to the HSBC Worldcup Wakeboarding Competition at Bedok. Looking at those pros doing all the technical tricks really make me feel so envy. How I wish my parents are rich and I am a child! I believe I can be liked them if I receive the same treatment when I was younger. Anyway I am going to try my best to make it big too in local scene! Watch out for me people! Double S-bend, 313, 911 here I come!

My current favourite female rider, Dallas Friday, was injured during her run. Sigh... She fractured her thighbone. Ouch! Her tricks are awesome. Basically all technical tricks! Besides being a good rider, she is a hot babe! How I wish she is my gf... hahahaha...
