Musings on 270511

This serves purely as an outlet for what’s been going on in my mind lately.. need somewhere to let all the steam out.

== Removed portion on Omelette, cos I think she deserves a whole post to herself ==

Bumpy’s been acting up quite abit lately.. air-conditioner broke, then the fan, then the water pump.. and all these at this crucial period before he expires.. I’m now stuck with wondering what I should get next.. a few choices on the list.. Toyota Axio, Honda Fit/Jazz, Kia Cerato, Mitsubishi Lancer. I’ve quite convinced myself that I’ll be needing a car, seeing that my new place is all the way to the other extreme corner of Singapore.. which leads me to my other point..

Got me a new place.. we went down to see it, not the biggest thing, but it’s mine to call a home. Not the best-est of the best location, but it’s mine.. and it’s gonna be my home. So I’m contented to even being able to own a home here in Singapore. Just got the keys, so now the planning and the renos can start coming into place.

Work’s been picking up since the whole load of them came back from their trg overseas.. somehow I get the feeling that the happy period’s over.. upcoming is all the extra stuffs and eventually the mother-of-all-courses to attend in July.

I need a sword-party for my big day.. I can’t seem to find enough ppl for it. But somehow, I’m trusting that it’ll work out at the end of the day and with ppl whom I honestly hold dear to my heart, not with just some any-other-person I pluck off a nominal role to help me.

If u’ve made it thus far.. congrats, u’ve just wasted 3 minutes which u’re never getting back. =P

Mother’s Day Day (part II)..

Ok, so as promised, here’s the update with the pictures 20 days late.

The was pretty much like any other day except that it was polling day to begin with.. and Lo and Behold, dad wants to go there bright and early, so we didn’t have to worry abt it later in the day.. like, just go, vote, then we have the rest of the day to ourselves. Nice idea.. but not very nice when u’ve to wake at 7+ on a Saturday morning..

So anyway, after casting the votes, we had brekky with beeps and ben at their place.. then I told them that we could go prawning.. see, earlier, like the day before, I told dad that we’d go fishing.. but the whole night, I couldn’t quite figure where to bring them too.. so I figured, prawning. Plain and simple.. and sure got catch.

Beepo wanted to come along.

So fast-forward and I’ll let the pictures do the talking..

Left: the First Catch of the day.. =)






I just love this shot. hahahaha...

the first 1.5 hours were quite a bore.. then suddenly, as if on cue, the prawns started coming up one after the other.. catch of the day? 13 I think.. ok maybe 15, I can’t quite remember. Dinner was over at Lau Pa Sat’s Satay Club.. nice food, nice view, nice company.

Chow!!!

Satay Club..

Mother's Day Day..

Did stuff today.. cool stuff.. I shall return to this post with pictures and an update when I eventually get down to it.

*yawn*

ok bye.

musings..

Been up to a few things lately..

Got me a new spool of line, and I picked up fishing again recently.. hopefully this will last abit longer. At least I’m learning as we go along. Went fishing the past 2 Fridays.. catch was decent. Some snappers, gobies and a tonne of catfishes. Pests I tell you. Bad enough that they look ugly.. they come with stings too. Urgh.

-insert pictures of my catch, that Longan and StuntBike still owe me from the fishing trips- *grunt*

Got me a Haynes Repair Manual from amazon. Used. Flipped through it abit earlier, seems good with loads of illustrations. So after the overhaul, hopefully I’ll learn a thing or two about what’s under the hood of my car. Did I mention? I’d probably lengthen the life of my car. Just to see me through the next couple of years. Works out to be about 300-400 tops per month. So it’s pretty alright I guess.. will prob put down a couple of grand to service up and make sure the fella lasts another 3 yrs maybe.. hoses, suspensions, motor mounts and wirings.. oh, and that clicking noise in the steering too.

meet Bumpy.. =)

Yes, and it’s official, the house is through. So the next step would be to furnish it which seems like another daunting task altogether. But I guess it should be fun. It’ll be my own cave after all, and I’ll do what I want with it. =)

Haven’t touched my guitar in a loong while too. It’s just been sitting there quietly for the past months. Something in me misses the times when I used to be so inclined towards it. Maybe it’s like they say, ppl grow through the different phases in life.. pity really.

Laser Pointer Fun

Haven't touched my camera in a while.. haven't really used my new laser pointer much since I bought it last yr.. haven't really had much Eye Candy on my blog since quite a while..

So figured I'd try something.. turned out better than expected. =)

Love the Bulb Mode.. =)

This is March

It seems every big event that has happened was in one way or another recorded in my blog.. well, not EVERY single event, cos then I’d have no problem whatsoever as the one that I’m facing now..

I’m trying so darn hard to recall every single jump I made, cos the lovely ppl at HQ decided to think it wise to shred my log card. So that leaves me with the arduous job of recalling every single exit I made out of the craft. With the first dating back more than 6 years ago. What the heck. So if u’re reading this and for some reason u can remember when I did one, PLEASE let me know. I’ll buy u lunch. =)

ANYWAY, I figure that I should record the fact that I got me a new set of eyes. Well, not literally.. I finally got PRK done on my eyes and for the record, it was on the 24th of feb. but for obvious reasons, I couldn’t see squat for the past 3 weeks so blogging would be a little of a hassle that I wanted to avoid. Things are still a blur now and nothing’s 6/6 as of now.. but hopefully things will sharpen up soon.

With the eyes like that, I also have not been working out much which worries me quite abit.. there’s a whole backlot of stuff to clear physically, and with selections coming up soon, I’m considerably a little worried.

Other than that, work’s been fine lately, and things are starting to pop up here and there. There’s the typical fires to fight, unruly ppl to talk to and unreasonable requests to answer to. But that’s life I guess.. got me a new reel and some lures to allow me to kill time and fight stress but haven’t put it to much use lately.. sigh.

Ok, so there. I’ve done my dues for the month, to record what happened. Hahaha. Cheater.
