The 3 stooges (who just so happen to be indians)

Last Sunday (23rd Oct..was it?), went to Sentosa to celebrate Deborah's birthday.

The new hotel's pretty hip! Simple and non artsy-fartsy, though I must say it's a little smaller than I would like.

O well it's Singapore..

We decided to have a go at the luge. I must say I am looking forward to the new Sentosa. Everything looks new and fun, though it kinda reinforces the fact that we have resort to faking everything...making it seem unnatural..commercial...canned. O well..

Now here's the thing..the queue was pretty long..so obvisouly there would be some groups who would probably ask a friend to reserve a pot in the queue. It does get irritating when you have people going 'excu me..excu me...' and going ahead of you. That's not too bad lar...but some people just have no respect...and pretend to be one of those people looking for friends..and really cutting queues..

And there was an indian dude that really pissed me off..

Dressed up and hip and wannabe like with sun-glasses and shit...didn't seem local..I let him through...I didn't know y I was compelled to continue tracking him...I did so anyway...then...I saw him stop near the start..looking around..all innocent like...I made eye contact with him (him with his sunglasses on lol)...I could tell by his body language that he knew he was caught.

So I just gave him a sneer and shook my head..

Oh well..it's not like everyone's cutting right? Let's not spoil the atmosphere coz of some stupid people...

Anyhow, somehow, we ended up right behind them near the start of the luge right. Was having a headache..and was damn irritated by that indian, who was already joined by his other 2 friends at that time, similarly dressed. I was making pot shots at them by talking about cutting queue and respect with my buddy..and that nobody wants to be racist against indians..but their behaviour's just asking for it...

Could only do that much wad..haha..

But then god would be on my(and other fair player's) side...

You see....to ride the luge...u had to go uphill...and there's a thing called the 'skyride' for that. Kinda like a mini cable car in those ski resorts to bring you uphill..

When you get tickets...you can get for.. 1. the luge 2. skyride and 3. Skyride AND Luge.

When it was the indians' turn to ride the luge...our angmor manager checked the ticket...and 'oh..i'm so sorry..your ticket is for the skyride, not the luge...plaese proceed this way...'

I burst out laughing. Whahwahwhahwahhwhwahahhaw

Sorry I had to do it...didn't feel forgiving that day..

First they smoked the rest of us by cutting queue..now they wanna try it with a ticket?

MORONS

So...for those of you out there who wanna kay-siau and smoke-out, it's ok you know, really, once in awhile. The thing is please...to do it properly and only for the proper occasion. Otherwise at the end, you end up not being a smirky smarty-ass, but a moron.

lol...buaiz..

Nonono....I dowan to go back... =~(

I dowan..i dowan...i dowan...i dowan...i dowan...


MMMMmmmmMMMMMMMMMmmmmmMMMMmMmmmmMMmmMMmmm...

Yoz..

Went for another follow-up today at NUH

Same old prob..doc also can't say anything...haa

So I will get light duties until I my next appt with him.

I remember a time when my 2.4km run timing was 9.30...which kinda dropped to 11.30 in sept 1 month ago....

Now? I think it would take me 20 mins to run the same distance haha

Seems like my camp MO is considering downgrading me. Don't know whether i welcome it or not. On one hand, I am looking forward to it. On another...I feel kinda bad. Think I still got some pride left in me. Wahahaha. Guess we'll have to see how this plays out.

Got this huge itch to go exercise but I can't. Oh man...gotta control my food intake. I have a pretty beautiful wasteline now...cannot lose it...no more fat me!

My...GFX card....sigh

It's an Elsa Gladiac 940, based on the nVidia GeForce 6800 GPU..

Just got it back after 8 weeks of repairs..

Poped in in...started playing Tomb Raider: Legend..

Then for some stupid reason I decided to turn off the air-conditioner...

Went well..for 1/2 hr...then 'poof'..my com kinda switched of on its own...haha...hahaha..

Refused to restart...But the Motherboard's power source was working....that's when I realise that I had the same problem as before....deja vu?

So..I removed the card....poked the com's power button...and it came ALIVVEE!!

Hence...I'm gona have to send it back for repairs again...which takes 4-8 weeks coz my model's obsolete, no more 1 to 1 xchange parts...have to send it over to its factory in China...

Lol....8 weeks of waiting....2 hours of gaming..another 8 weeks of waiting...

Murphy...you bastard...no more ice cream for u.

Yoz..

Came back from the 'pital today..

Seems like there are no more traces or the bacteria/virus and that they didn't cause any physical damage to my meninges and my brain..

no physical IQ lost...lol

But still feeling the less than optimum coordination with my physical body...

Doc says need some more rest...so got an additional 2weeks MC, until 22/10/06

So..later guys... gonna rest

buaiz..

Follow-up hospitalisation...

Eloz pips..

Looks like I'm going into the hospital again for treatment..

Remember I was saying how weak and latheagic I felt? Well, my doc kinda expected it.

Risk of long-term side-effects for kids is high
Risk of long-term side-effects for adults is low...chances of recovery is higher as an adult.

Hopefully thats the case with me.

Gonna go back to do another lumber puncture and some other blood tests..

I got my old ward again! wahaha...paying B2 class for a A class ward again...weeee
Thanks for crowding up the hospital guys! (kk this is bittersweet...)

How long am I gonna stay in there? No idea...anywhere from a few days to a few weeks...depending on how the test goes I guess.

Well, see you again in the near future...

I'm gone..

Power of the mind

heyz..

I am just amazed by the fact that whatever 'random' acts that I do tend to not be 'random' at all.

Why?

Coz everytime I make decisions that seem to be random ones, they seem to lead me to many discoveries!

ie.

When I was at NUH...while walking...I was compelled to walk towards the Kent Ridge Wing again...and when I was at the lobby...I was compelled to just sit at the couch and relax. If I didn't do that, I wouldn't have met my old friend there!

When I was at Plaza Singapure walking, there were a couple of CD/DVD shops that I passed...but I was compelled to enter this particular one...where I found Astronomy DVD sets on sale!

And many other things like that.

I believe in the power of the mind. Not only the subconscious mind, but the telepathic as well. I mean, my experiences show that my mind is able to lead me to places, where I have never been to before, to find things that are of interest to me...over..and over again.

I guess it's the same system at work. Like when I always pick up the phone to look at it just before an sms/a call arrives.

Isn't the mind fantastic?

Comeon...sometimes certain things that have not been scientifally chroniceled doesn't mean that it does not exist. Phenomena the occurs, occurs. I'm sure some of you have thought about it before.

Forgive me if this message sounda a little incoherent...I am still feeling a little weak..and my powers of language is still a little gargeled I guess...

O well..

I love this world! Fascinating..

recovering...argh...

'Hello!

yea..it's been awhile huh

my birthday month..wahaha...lotsa shit happened sia

First...had an arguement with a very close friend of mine...

This thing got me into NUH for 10 days straight...the first 5 days of which were a blur coz I was damn cold, could hardly eat, was barely conscious with splitting headaches whenever I moved.

Thank got I got discharged last friday 29/09/2006. With a bill of $5000. Lucky the army is paying for it...

Its damn scary when you think about how hospitals charge. Not that they do it on purpose, but it's the nature of it. While you are being diagnosed, u all you hear is ' you need an x-ray, then xx test and yy test' without the cost. Then when you get discharged, you see that an x-ray costs $800...xx test $450...yy test $788...and that you did multiple tests...and that's when you acutally have to get re-admitted into the hospital for shock.

Not like you can do anything different when they give you quotes for their services anyway...most important - life hmm? Save it first..then worry about paying later.

I was lucky that I managed to stay in the 'A' class ward (personal room with air-con and tv). I was there at the beginning coz I had to be under observation. After day 5 though, it was coz there was no more space in the 'B' wards. So I was stuck with a better ward for the price of something cheaper. Muahaha.

Had a few cool afternoon walks around NUH. It was during once of those walks where I met an old friend (lynette!). Haha caught up with her a bit then had to shoo her back to work. Afraid coz I was sick, she wanted to escort me back but I was already pretty fine then.
Thx babe! Not that I didn't want your company, comeon lar u were working. Guai k.

Well, now that I am out, recovering at home (MC), without the meds, I still feel very light headed, with my senses dulled and my body being weak. Real weak. Think I have to start training for my 2.4 all over again. Think at this stage my timing would probably be ard 15 mins tops. Heh, what 2 weeks of sickness can do to you huh.

Anybody got tips on how to feel better faster do drop me a msg k! The boredem and lathargy is killing me..
