Hi all,
Just like what my dear friend Shu Yen says, “There have been too many blogging service for me to handle…” I’ve decided that I’ll keep my blog and photos in Multiply.com.
Please visit the link below if you happen to have too much time to spare or with whatever reason you can find.

It has been around 6 years since SP Rover had conducted Cemetery Hike (if I’m not wrong the last cemetery hike was by YiHui in year 2000.).
This time round its happening again on the 24/4/06. I didn’t managed to go for the actual event myself that night but in fact I am very glad that I did join in the final prep in the morning. It has been along time since I’ve been back to the big tomb. A few alumni have been trying to locate the big tomb, which was lost in the dense undergrowth for quite some time now. Upon hearing the news that Rover has located the big tomb, I’ve decided to join them to uncover the big tomb from the think undergrowth.
It was a sunny morning and it was just like back in the old days where we just plan an unofficial event on a weekend and execute it.
We met in den at 9.30am in the morning and as usual, the chairperson Mr. Darren was late again. We then proceeded to take bus 74 to Coffee Hill Cemetery. It was a sunny day and many pairs of curious eyes of the publics and the caretakers greeted us as we proceeded into the cemetery. I’m actually quite curious in what they were thinking actually.
“What the hell are they doing in a cemetery with parangs?” Or “They coming for Qing Ming? It’s already over. What these kids think they are doing?”
We planted a few Check Points along the way, as there will be a treasure hunt for the cemetery hike. It has been along time since I’ve been back there. Coffee Hill is still as peaceful as it was back then in my rovering years. I took a few pictures of the cemetery as I don remember we have any archival photos of Coffee Hill Cemetery in Den.
We reached the base of the big tomb at approx 1115hrs. We all chatted with the caretaker who is having his lunch under an ever-familiar man-made blue tarp shelter. He is the caretaker who actually showed rover the way up to the big tomb during their 1st recee, but of course not without a price of S$20.
The path up to the big tomb is still the same as before. The rover leads the way this time while I’m documenting the event from the back of the pack. We had a shorter route this time as compare to the previous one I took years ago.
“This is it!” I heard. Then in no time at all, I found myself standing back on a familiar ground once again after 6 years. The 1st thing I looked for is the statue of the guard, which gave me a fright 7 years ago [I was doing recee with rover back then. As I was bashing thru tombs, I saw a very low wall of a tomb about 1-2 foot high. I decided to go over it and at the moment I step up on the tomb, right in front of me was the Indian guard holding an olden days waxed paper umbrella. The sight really scares the hell out of me.] and the beautiful tiles on the floor in front of the tombstone.
Yes, this is it, the big tomb that belongs to Mr. Ong Sum Leong, the boss of the New World Hotel (info given by the caretaker), the big tomb that I’ve not seen for 6 years. I looked at my watch, 1131hrs it shown. We put our barang barang at one corner and then we started to plan the clearing process. Moments later, Darren and I were bashing thru the thick bushes using the parangs while the rest were clearing the plants at the side of the tomb. About 1hour later, we’ve cleared about 75% of the area. Then we started our prayer ceremony.
Soon after that we carried on with the clearing and I’m really impressed by Benjamin, he actually cleared quite a bit of the plants using only branches.
About 15minutes later, we decided to leave the tomb and carried on planting the Check Points. I then snap a few pictures of the big tomb for archival purposes.
After all that was done at the cemetery, we decided to head for lunch at sunset way. On our way to sunset way, our beloved Tian Han was actually on his way toward the big tomb alone. Darren informed him thru the phone that we’ve left the cemetery and he’ll have to meet up with us at sunset way. Eventually we did met up and we headed back to den together after buying some necessary equipment.

It was my off day but I’ve made an appointment with Tian Han to assist him in the campfire pit. I reached SP at approx 2pm. He was having his lunch with Darren at the FC2 Macdonald. After that we went to the FO booth to take a look at the performance. Then we proceed to pole shed to prepare the firewood. It was fun doing all these scouting stuffs all over again. Then soon after that we packed up and then we proceed to Beach Road for out sourcing of our tee shirt.
Then the true adventure came, as we were at the POSB ATM, we saw a man lying on the ground near the bus stop. Tian Han then suggest we go take a look at him to make sure everything is all right.
I went up to the man and I can clearly see that his chest is moving and he is breathing. I went ahead and applied what i’ve learnt in my 1st Aid Course, while tabbing on his shoulder i asked.
“Hello uncle?”
“Hello Hello, uncle can hear me or not?”
“HELLO!!!” i increased my volume. There isn’t any respond. I turn and look at Tian Han,
“Shall we call the ambulance?” he asked.
“beta call la…” I replied.
I called the ambulance while Darren keep on trying to get a respond from the unconcious man.. He did the same thing as i did only this time he slap he man’s face… I was laughing like mad when i heard that from Tian Han and Darren.
While ai was calling the ambulance. A passer by came to assist too. Then soon after a crowd appears, then we told them that we have notified the SCDF and the ambulance is on its way.
Soon after the ambulance appeared, the crew came out of the vehicle and then this female paramedic starting calling the victim’s name. “ZED, ZED!!!” at this particular moment, the driver told us that he is a “regular”. He always gets drunk and lie on the street. They have attended to him many times before. Then we get the whole picture and we started laughing but our job’s not done yet, we did some crowd control and then we left the scene.
Got this from a friend thru e-mail… Its funny and most importantly its very true in our daily lives… Even i can’t deny it myself… Enjoy it…

The Husband Store!
A store that sells husbands has just opened in
New York City
, where a
woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the
store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE !
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the
shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch . . .. you may
choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a
floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a
woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband . ..
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are
extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the ! Lord, love kids, are drop-
dead good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-
dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic
streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the
sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that
women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you
exit the building, and have a nice day!
Please send this to all men for a good laugh and to all the women who
can handle the truth!
Remember Greed is one of the seven deadly sins.
You have to learn to be grateful for what you have .
When you are ungrateful you end up with nothing.
REAL-LIFE STRANGE ENCOUNTER IN HOSPITAL There was this case in this Hospital’s Intensive Care Ward where patients always died in the same bed and on Friday mornings, regardless of their age, gender, medical history or medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought that it had to do with the supernatural. Why the death, at that same bed, on Fridays? So the doctors decide to go down to that particular Ward to investigate the cause of the incidents…. Come Friday morning, everyone at the Hospital Ward nervously waited for the terrible phenomenon to occur again. The new unknowing patient laid there…. Some Doctors holding Wooden Crosses, Prayer Books and other Holy objects to ward off evil… waiting… the patient was resting still. Then
8am
…
8:30am
…
Just before the ‘cursed’ time… the door to the Ward swung open…

Then Ah Soh, the part-time Friday cleaner, comes in and unplugs the life support system so that she can use the vacuum cleaner.

WAT A EVENTFUL GATHERING…
It all started out when I met SiQi on the MSN, she was initiating for a gathering for the “U” Team. We discussed about the plan and we decided to meet up at Paya Lebar MRT at 1930hrs.
I met up with LiMin and then we met the Si sisters(SiMin and SiQi) at the location. Then came a stupid joke from Ryan, he SMS SiMin and told her that he is not coming for the gathering. SiQi and the rest of us were so fed up and we just left without him when
Leon
arrived.
Then half way thru the journey to the Fermented Bean Curd stall at Geylang, Ryan join in from the back. What happened? I was puzzled at the beginning, then he told us what happened. He wanted to bluff us that he’s not coming and he will standby at the stall to give us surprise. In the end? He got lost while he was on his way to the stall and he ended up surprising us from the back. Hahaha… Life’s full of surprises when he’s around.
Then we joked our way to the stall. This is the 1st time SiQi is going to try the fermented bean curd so we tried our very best to describe the worst case scenario of the smell to her. We ordered 1 piece of fermented bean curd, 2 fried pork intestine, 1 desert egg, 2 duck meat pie, 1 lychee ice, 3 red bean ice and 1 sea coconut ice.
After the meal, we proceed to our next location – 永和豆浆. But sadly it did not open due to festive season. We then proceed to the stall next door to have the famous beef hor fun. We ordered a beef hor fun for 2, 1 satay bee hoon and some drinks. The beef hor fun’s beef is very tender and smooth with the thick sauce. Recommended!!! Die die must try!!!
As we were waiting for the beef hor fun, we plan for the next move. Durain was next and everyone agreed. So after the beef hor fun, we head to the durain street where its famous for durains.
We had lots of fun along the way. While passing by a temple, we saw a procession in progress. It was the Tua Yah Pek. We stood and watch for a while as it’s Limin’s 1st time seeing the procession.
Soon after that we reached the street where all we have to do is to cross it and we can get to some delicious durains. But we were waiting and waiting, trying to cross the road where cars were flowing non stop. Ironically, many uncles and aunties just crossed the road right in front of our very eyes, and we were still standing on the same spot where once in a while we would move a step forward and take 2 step back wards to avoid the cars. Then we finally decide that we should take the easier option – traffic light. Then we saw a window to cross the road and we all dashed across the road where ryan nearly dashed into an on coming vehicle which stop suddenly in front of him. The whole situation was so funny.
We then settle down for 2 durains which cost us S$20.00. its quite worth it as the flesh is thick and it have a very strong smell. We were playing some games when just across the street, 1 truck driver and 1 cyclist were cursing and swearing to each other.
“F*** You!!!” claim the cyclist.
“F*** YOUR MOTHER! YOUR MOTHER IS BORN TO LET PEOPLE F***!!!” return the truck driver.
The cyclist and the driver then went on it’s way. Then soon after that thick black smoke filled the whole area. Thinking that its some vehicle with a faulty exhaust pipe we carry on our game. A few minutes later, I heard a siren and a police vehicle. Soon after that as we decided to leave. We got out from our seat and then SiMin claimed: “Hey look, the house is on fire!!!” I quickly took out my phone and dialed 995 for the SCDF.
“
SCDF
Call
Center
, how can I help you?”
“Err… Fire well alight along Lorong 17 Geylang.”
Then I heard the officer hitting the key board. “Sir, is it a shop house fire?” He asked.
“Yupp, that’s right!” I replied.
“Sir, my men are already on the way to the scene” explained the officer.
“Okay thanks a lot.” I answered and then put down the phone.
Everything happened in an instance, as I put down the phone, I saw Ryan making payment for the durains, and I can see SiQi running to the fire scene. We follow her and we were just opposite of the fire.
A Red Rhino, 1 Combine Platform Ladder(CPL), 2 Trooper were on the scene. All the firefighters with Breathing Apparatus got out from the CPL and went to work immediately. The 1st task they need to do is to locate the fire hydrant.
“Where’s the hydrant?!?!” asked one of the firefighter as he was running across the street to locate one.
“Hydrant found! Hydrant found!” “Down there! Down there!”
2 firefighter went back to the CPL and rolled up the roller shutter and took out a few hose and connect them. They’ll need to relay the hoses from a distance to the pumper.
We then proceed to the next better location to have a good view of the action. This time we were closer to the scene, just about 200meters away. A few firefighters had their hose ready and were standing by at the back of the restaurant. All they need now is water.
“Water! Water!” the pump operator shouted. And soon the hose was inflated as the pressurized water was pumped through the hose.
Then jet of water were aimed at the roof of the restaurant as the firefighters were putting out the fire. It took only about say 7minutes for the firefighters to bring the fire to a control. The firefighters then conducted search & rescue and damping down of the fire to prevent relighting of fire. They were busy at work going up to the 2nd floor and searching for victims and making sure the fire is really out.
“BOLEH! BOLEH!(Okay,Okay)” shouted the firefighters. Finally the fire was totally out and no victim except the restaurant’s kitchen.
The police then came and seal off the area, and then we think that its time for us to leave as its getting late.
We walked to Kallang Mrt station and just as we were about to reached Kallang Mrt, we saw a vehicle stalled on the center of the road. We walked passed it and then we decided to go back to help the victim as it was a lady, and I bet she must be panicking as she kept turning her car keys again an again.
Ryan and I went up the her car and I signal for her to wind down her window, she open her door and I asked ”Do you need any help madam?”
“I can’t start my vehicle, I was driving and then it just stalled.” She explained.
“I’ve called the SAAB mechanic and they are on the way.” She continued.
“Is it alright that we push your car to the road shoulder as it’ll be safer for you and the vehicle too.” I explained.
She pause for a second and then she agreed.
We instruct her to put the gear to neutral, but she couldn’t do it, so Ryan offer to try instead, while I went to direct the traffic.
“Madam, do you have a triangle plate?” I asked. “Oh my god, I was so panic just now that I can’t find it.” She said. I try to clam her down by talking to her as I saw lots of mandarin oranges in the car boot. “So you just done your new year shopping ya?” “That’s right!” she replied and at this moment I found the triangle plate. I quickly set up the triangle plat about 15meters away from the vehicle. At this point of time, Ryan had also managed to set the car to neutral gear. Ryan went to direct the traffic while I move the triangle plate to the road shoulder. I then get to the back of the vehicle and tried to push the car to the road shoulder, leon and a passer by assisted me in the pushing too while Ryan supervise.
We finally managed to get the car to the road shoulder and then we bid farewell and wish her a happy lunar new year before we set off to the Mrt again. We all felt so good after doing a good deed. I’m really happy to work with such great friends. The coordination was perfect even though there isn’t much communication between us. Maybe this is made possible by the many years of knowing each other.
It was indeed a remarkable night out with all my good friends.
It was on a Wednesday morning when I suddenly decided to bring forward my appointment with xiuxian earlier to that very afternoon.
Upon arriving at Dover MRT, the memories started to flow back to me. Passing by T12 link bridge where we conducted abseiling during the RTT 24hrs Selection Test, then to the study area below SALC where we conducted many of our events and meetings there. Passing by Daiko Drum club and the beating of the drums were so familiar.
Upon reaching the staircase up to the poly centre, I have to keep reminding myself that the new den is on the right and not the left any more. I’m actually quite glad that someone is in den. Jun Ying and my favorite Fatima(Debbie), I smsed Xiuxian to informed her that I’ve arrived and then I chatted with Debbie, we talked about RSS, RTT, current strength and situation of Rover. Got to know more about the situation now.
Then we were joined by Xiuxian, Tian Han & Rain. We had fun chatting and crapping around in den. This is one of the thing I missed most when I left SP Rover. I’m very glad that not all is lost… The feeling is still there, just that the people are getting lesser and lesser… The current year 2s and 3s are the one that are still keeping the club going. I believe what they need now is strong support from all sides, especially from the troop members themselves.
Kind of thinking of it, who are going to be the next PLC? We have currently only 8 BTC candidates, O RTT candidates. Which could possibly mean that there will be no RTT and RSS this year round, as there are no new instructors available. We now have the RTT down, next up will be PLC. Any body keen to be a Leader? Too much stressed? Need to do proposal for events, need to stay back in SP for meetings, Saturday need to come back for trainings etc. All these are the common reasons the current PLC and Ex-Co faced whenever they are planning for events. We used to have all these problems too… Its not new. When I was a key appointment holder in Rover, I faced all these problems with my committee too… Communication between the committee is paramount.
This lack of communication, lack of manpower, lack of support, lack of motivation is bringing the current rovers almost to the bottom of the valley. But, seriously, I believe all is not lost(yet)… There is bound to be something that we could do. But things are still crawling, no obvious movements from anyone, even from top down. All talk and no major important action. Maybe things are getting underway, how about at least voiced out to all, Together Everybody Achieve More is the common phrase I heard in rover then. Where is it all now? Discuss with us!!! There are so many alumnis out there wanting to assist or to help the situation now.
I believe we the alumnis not only want to be present during events only, many of us would be willing to assist in program planning, advising, coordinating and stuffs. If you were not to voice out how would we know where to help? Isn’t it?
After I left den, my mind was filled with many questions, questions on how to assist the current rovers to endure the current situation and the many years to come. Will I be able to attend the 30th anniversary Dinner & Dance? I did eventually tot of something(which Rane shared the same idea with me the next day), more of operation, event planning and skill development. If some of the alumnis were to plan and conduct some skills based recreation events, will it be beneficial? But an idea was soon overcome by many questions, Will there be any people attend these leisure skill based events? Will I get the support from the current rover? Will I be the only one participating in the event? How many participants can I get? How many lives can I touch? All these are so unpredictable…
But eventually, I’m glad that there are still plans of an overseas expedition going on. I’ve voiced my interest in participating in the expedition and I seriously hope to execute the plan together with rover once again. Maybe this is the only way an old rover boy can show his Passion-In-Rovering which will be burning deeply inside his heart after the flame have died…
Bless us Lord B.P
Raven…
What would you do if its end of the year? Well, this is wat i did…
Have been selling Snow and Streamers spray cans for Justin and Frank for the past few days dating back to last Christmas.
25/12/05:
Sales weren’t that fantastic on the X’Mas night. But we had lots of fun playing the sprays, and then we had dinner at Lau Pat Sat before we headed back to Base in Justin’s van. Actually we planned for a morning jog at MacRitchie the next morning but we slept at 0430hrs in the morning and by the time we woke up… Its already 1130hrs, and raining. So? Run was cancelled.
30/12/05:
Went to BASE for pot luck, I brought some home made Macaroni cooked by me. Had hell lots of fun at the gathering and also added a few kilos to my weight… Haiz… haha… Then plans were made for the night after the pot luck session. We then decided to try our luck selling the sprays at Pasir Ris Chalets… We went to pick Doreen up at her friend’s apartment before we head to our location. Been a real long time since I’ve been back there… There are Challenge Rope Course there in the chalet mann… can’t believe that. We tried our best selling and sales weren’t really good as we were there late and people were already heading home from the chalets. So we had a walk along the park to scout for any possibility of sales. Nope… Not good… Down Town east was next… Justin, Darren and Doreen headed into the chalet while Frank, WeiJeah, Karyn, Limin and I waited outside and we tried selling… Not bad mann… a drunken lady brought 6 from us… haha… good start… Then we waited for the rest to come. Not good… So we decided to head to some where for supper, with the left over food from the pot luck that is… We headed to Labrador Park, along the way passing by Esplanade and Mt. Faber where preparation for the New Year Countdown 2006 is in the final stage. Along the way brought back lots of memories, it’s actually the route that we took when we ran from Outram to Labrador Park… It started off with Justin and me, and then Limin joined in, then Frank. Time really flies mann… in a blink of an eye; tml will be the end of 2005. I’m gonna make my finally day of 2005 a wonderful one!!! We had our there and we played some games to keep ourselves entertained… Then we sent everyone back home… I reached home at 0500hrs in the morning.
31/12/05:
Woke up after 6hrs of sleep. Then I slack for a while… Called Limin for some discussion of the plans for tonight activities. We were to meet up and head to Base to put our barang barang before heading to Boat Quay to meet up with Justin and co. Saw AE86 parked at the street. Then we saw Doreen and Karyn… We joined in the sales team. After a few rounds of shouting, a guy in plain clothes approached us… “Who is the boss here?” He asked while holding a warrant card bearing the Singapore Police Force crest and his photo. “……” we dare not say a word, seriously… We just looked at each other… “U all have to clear this place before we come back from a 2nd round of patrol, and we’ll confiscate all items here, is that clear?” he warned. What did we do? Of cos we agreed la… then we called our boss, Justin and frank. Final decision is to proceed to Frank’s location - Clark Quay. Along the way there Karyn was still trying to sell the sprays to the publics but not much sales. When we reached the Read Bridge where Frank was positioned, we quickly get into war mode and started to sell the sprays… The bridge was full of people and it was already a war zone there where strangers were starting up war with one another with the only Weapon of Mass Destructions we were selling… Haha… kinda think back now, we’re just like the U.S, we stared the war with passer by who did not have spray cans in their hands, then this make them buy sprays from us and fight the war with us… How brilliant… Thanks BUSH… We had all our cans sold out in just say about 30mins into 2006… we were worried that we were not able to get the sales done, but it did eventually. With the Fireworks from Esplanade in a distance, and everyone cheering to welcome 2006, we had just completed the 1st task, to sell all the sprays…
01/01/06:
Once the sales was done, we headed back to the van to roughly calculate the $$ from the sales. Then it was decided that we shall go for dinner…, supper?? Or maybe breakfast… Hmmm… Whatever u wanna call it… we settled down at a Seafood Restaurant at Geylang. Had a nice meal and we headed back home… and Base… We reached Base at Approx. 0430hrs… Had a shower and then we headed to bed…? The night was cool and then in the morning, it started to pour… so we kept sleeping till arnd 1030hrs. Nothing to do as it was pouring heavily outside and we decide to play Risk. Then till noon the rain subsided and we decided to start our 1st Resolution for 2006. MacRitchie run… This time round the distant is from Base to Jelutong Tower and back. It was a nice run… A nice view at Jelutong tower on a new year’s day… After the run, we went makan at Shunfu market. Then we go back to base to wash up. We also decided to call off the initial plan of going KTV as we r poor people… so we need to do things that doesn’t required $$… So we Play Risk again… And Justin was the Ultimate loser as the U.S (Darren) had once again proven itself by getting all its allies to fulfill his wishes (Getting rid of Justin from the board). Yes, Justin lost. But we still got to fill our stomach. So we decided to head to Thompson to have our dinner and supper… After our dinner at a Chinese stall, we head to the Prata house further down the road to have a drink. After which, we then finally decided that its time to head home… Long day of activities for my 1st day of 2006. Happy New Year Everyone!!!

It was a sunny afternoon and I was on my way home from a Kodak shop after developing some photos and photocopying of some documents.
Just as I was under block 420, I heard some shouting from the top of the block. I was puzzled and with the passion for exploration, I looked up and I had the area scanned through and roughly had made up what had happened at the scene. Then proceed to my block at 421.
I then took the lift to my level and upon stepping out of the lift, I heard more shouting. The cleaner was jet cleaning the corridor and as he was jetting the corridor outside of the 2nd unit, the owner shouted at him. I roughly made up the scenario like this: Some of the mist from the jet went into the unit and the owner was furious…
I then went back to my unit and I observe the whole incident from my room. I then saw the owner came out of the unit and demand the particulars of the cleaner.
“Give me yr Name and I/C no.!”
“Hello uncle, foreign worker where got I/C one?” I think to myself.
“Give me yr work permit no.” the owner then said.
The worker was trying to defend himself from all the rubbish the owner gave him.
“Why are u so stupid?” The asshole said.
Just as the worker was trying to explain further; “U never use yr brain! U got no BRAIN!!” continued the stupid ass from Singapore.
I can clearly know that the worker is worried. I’ve worked with foreign workers form Sri Lanka, India, Vietnam, Bangladeshand many more. I know their family back in their country depends on them for a living; they can’t afford to lose their job!!! And this bloody asshole tucks away comfortably in a pigeon hole is trying to destroy the livelihood of this man…
NO WAY I AM GONNA LET U THIS BLOODY ASS DO IT!!!
“U SO CLEVER U CLEAN LOR… U SMART MAH… YA LAH PEOPLE STUPID U SMART… THEN U CLEAN YR OWN CORRIDOR LA... TALK SO MUCH FOR WAT?!?!?!” I shouted through my window.
Then the homegrown local asshole started to look around trying to locate where the voice comes from… He didn’t.
“U must like this, like this, clean understand?” the ass continued.
Eh… uncle asshole, people is trained to do jet cleaning for yr block and u r teaching him how to do… U sure u knows what ya doing or not?
“U CLEAN YRSELF LA… U KNOWS HOW TO DO MA… CLEAN YR CORRIDOR YRSELF LAH!!!” I continued…
Upon hearing this again, uncle ass brings the worried looking worker to his corridor and he took the jet and shows the worker HOW to do jet cleaning… This time I was amazed… “Hmmm… Let see what’s up in his sleeves mann…” I think to myself.
“U must like this, like this, slowly, slowly, understand?” he explained as he do some demo with the jet.
Dear uncle ass form level 6 of block 420, do u know what are u doing? Do u know that this kind of cleaning is call jet cleaning? And do u know how jet cleaning is done? The water is even weaker than my pee pressure mann… and u want to show the experience worker how to jet clean??? Oh… for god’s sake… in this case I should say for the rest of the Singaporean’s sake, uncle ass, stop embarrassing yourself and hand the jet back to the pro la… I’ve seen enough, u bloody asshole…
Luckily Mr. Ass did hand the jet back to the professional before I could fire another round of words to him… I was totally impressed by the way uncle ass behaved… I just don’t understand why he needs to embarrassed himself in front of the professional. He might have thought that he did something steady tat particular day, but the fact is, Uncle Ass… u are a disgraced to all Singaporeans.
When people do things for u, u take it for granted, when people don do things for u, u complaint… When people do things for u, u pick on their mistakes… I felt sorry for u uncle ass… Being yr age, I felt really sorry for u that u did not pay attention in class when yr teacher is teaching Civic and moral education or Character Education. Oh… so u did not have this kind of lesson in schools those day? I see… Then u better feel sorry for yourself for living in this planet and not having something call manners and a heart for showing appreciation.
Here I shall wish u all the best to u uncle ass and a very very Happy new year to u…
From,
Your neighbor in 421.
Who says there is no place to enjoy in
Singapore
? U must know where to find ma… Haiyo…
Last Sunday,
4/12/05
. I brought Limin to some of the places that I grown up at… 1st of all, I brought her to the Kranji War memorial which is just a few stone throw away from my kampong in Kranji. It was my 2nd visit of the place for the week. We spent around 2 hours there and I show Limin around the place while she took some photos.
Then we head to Lim Chu Kang Farmart. It was very crowded there as it is a Sunday. We parked our car at a less crowded car park and we head straight to the mini farm hidden at the corner of the Farmart. There are quite a number animals at the farm. From goats to Snakeheads (a kind of fish).
Then we went to the prawn fishing ground to take a look. Soon as after that we were hungry and we decided to grab some food as we travel. We bought some chicken wings, but it was too hot and we decided to have it later. We went to a few aquarium and some pet shops. Some were selling marine fishes and puppies… It was a real eye opener for limin I guess… After that we bought some sugar cane juice and head back to the car to enjoy our nice BBQ chicken wing.
Nippon Koi Hotel was our next destination. We actually wanted to go to Qian Hu at first, but me more interested to visit Koi hotel la… The place has only 1 thing that fascinated me, and tats Koi. That’s all… We walked along the Koi pond which is very very big mann.. Lots of Koi… Limin chatted with one of the workers there and we actually found out a lot of things from the Q&A session which was initiated by Limin. Guess wat we found out? Out of 3000 Koi born, only 3 or less belongs to the price winning category. Even if it from the same mother.
The worker then advice us to go visit the pond further up the farm. “ There the Koi really good quality!” says the worker. “ Go and see.”
When we reached there, all u could hear is “Wah… Wow… Wa Lao eh… Its so Big!!!”
This is really where the good quality Koi were kept mann… The colour were so rich and bright. We spent around another 45mins there looking around as there is a breeding area where the farm breed their own local price winning Koi.
Then we went to choose some Koi too… I bought 7 Koi and there were now happily swimming in my house…
Then I brought Limin to the Chua Chu Kang cemetery where I show her the training facilities of the
Civil
Defense
Academy
. Lim Chu Kang point was next. Where the PCG is… There we took lots of photos. We were there 
just in time for the beautiful sunset. We were happily taking photos of the sunset that we got locked at the jetty… and we didn’t realised that till the fisherman return from the kelong and advice us to leave before he locks the gate again… Then we headed home for dinner…
It was a short but happy trip for the day… Next trip in the planning? Farms in Lim Chu Kang. Go recee recee a bit next time…
