2 little traffic incidents on Sun

1st incident at East point carpark, didn't notice that there's a kerb surronding the pillar(cos parking lot is beside the exit slope and along the exit slope there's this yellow striped kerb, for pedestrians I suppose) so tried to make a acute u-turn(to go down the slope that's just beside the lot), too over zealous, mounted the kerb haha... suai...

nvm then made our way to Old airport rd where we met incident number 2. We exited fort rd frm ECP then have to turn into Mountbatten rd then to fort rd. From the street directory, it's drawn that it's a str rd frm fort rd to Mountbatten rd but when we got near to the end of Fort rd, suddenly realised that we have to made a left turn. so I check the road behind and in front is clear then tried to filter to the left lane to make the turn, all aof a suddenly a MPV(dunno whether it's a Wish or Grandis) appear from behind at very fast speed(didn't notice it cos there's a slight bend behind) estimated it to be running at 60-70km/h(on normal rd) by that time I was already 1/4 into that lane and that bull came charging through with horn blazing... I admit I froze at that instant, dunno whether to swerve right accelerate into the lane or stop. In the end I just stop, think I still not experienced enough having just passed my drv 2 months ago and never drove for 3 years after ORD, anyway I think if I was driving army trucks no driver would dare do anything funny to me... think that MPV driver just trying to be funny moving so fast and didn't even bother to brake nor slow down when I was already 1/4 into the lane when sensing impending accident waiing for me to make the move to avoid an accident. Anyway phew luckily no accident else dd would kill me...but I think not entirely my fault right?

Nevertheless I think the road signboard in singapore also placed very funny, it's placed at the entrance of the slip road and not before it... so until when we are very near the slip road then can see the sign and many times blocked by trees also. Kaoz think every driver will meet with such incidents anyway I read from an article, if that MPV lanka my backside most of the time the insurance coy will find him is in fault haha...Next time have to plan our route to avoid such incidents..Learnt something from it will be extra vigilant next time.

Anyway Old Airport rd FC really got alot of nice food leh(got newspaper at their store one) yummy...

Wah next wk haben start already spend $20(which is 2/5 or 40%) of next wk's $$ liao, $$ very easy to spend leh. Running into deficit also(have to dig into savings) cos spend $30+ on a doggie shirt for ronnie... still gonna spend some $$ on ink(mabbe can claim 1/2 from dad) and on a 2nd hand badminton racquet(mabbe $90-$100, orginal price is $145) which according to my fren is a very good racquet at a bargain price, my racquet all gg to spoil liao(very old already) and somemore fren wan to play badminton wif me again so have to get a decent one lor(I think I not that bad in badminton lah). Aiyah now hol spend more $$ ok lah as long as dd happy, I happy can already anyway it's the festive season now...$$ spent can be earned back right? it's not that much anyway... Will try to save more during sch term lor...

Some Updates...

Well I guess I've not written anything for quite some time..been thinking and doing my FYP so even though it's sch hol now, I am still not that "free".

last sun went to meet dd at her place and had chicken hor fan for b'fast...quite ok lah after that we went to Tangs and bought a Samsung X200 with dd's $100 CK Tangs voucher, yah finally spent the voucher, actually didn't wan to get it at 1st but that HP shop at CK Tangs didn't have D500C so I did a 1 yr recontract and got the Samsung X200 for $100. (2 yrs recontract is free). Tot of letting my mum use it for the moment then when I am gg reservist then I can use that phone. Then my mum very jialat so fickle minded. one day say dun wan the next day say wan... now she say dun wan and I am trying to sell the phone. sighz...this the fone


Had a row wif my youngest bro, why? cos he was arguing wif my parents abt some "freedom" he desire... then he said some very nasty things so I kindof intervene... yah and he called me a big mouth " I took his drumstick and whack at his leg, dunno whether he felt pain or not but it certainly left a mark there. haha here's the argument.(can't recall much but it's something like that)

Mum:Told u(youngest bro) dun dye hair, u go dye

Dad:Now nothing to do, go lib borrow books

Youngest bro: Now hol, borrow wat books? finished O levels already leh siao ah, now is the time to have fun...

Dad and mum continue to bombard youngest bro abt his disobedience, blah blah blah
Youngest bro think he knows alot keep blah blah blah but in a very unrespectful tone...
anyway it was I who notice the color change in bro's hair and informed my mum...

Me: Allow me to say something in fairness, (to my youngest bro), U are not very world-wisely as u think u are...eg, u said ur friend will get u a job at his uncle's coy, and c wat happen(he never got to go there to work and he never attempt to look for a job, ya waiting for jobs to come looking for him)...
Youngest bro: Ya U think u very clever lah, but is think only. (implying that he know more things than me..)

Mum: Ya and u go dye ur hair when we told u not to, if not for ur 2nd bro(me) we would never notice.


Youngest bro: Ya Big mouth KayPo

Me: If u dare to dye why be afraid to let ppl know? Tot u say u are man? Dare to do and not dare to own up? This is responsibility?

Youngest bro mubbling some very rude words

*Smack* drumstick(not chicken) wack on his leg

then I told my parents, u say dun let him but when he disobey u'll still just scold only,of cos he wun listen lah... c watever my parents told him not to do he will do it like coming back late... cos he noes that he would at most at a scolding or sometimes my parents are too tired to scold he would get no punishment at all... like that is educating children? haha Love education..my foot!
will work on some kids but definitely not on my bros...

Kaoz, he 16 yr old so rebellious though I can understand cos I've been thru tat stage when I was 14, I also think that my parents are ill-treating me.. guess I've grown out of that now...but my bro's attitude is really very rude lor...much worse than mine now he dun wan to tok to me...ya think I am a bootlicker, big mouth(disclose his red hair secret)...so be it... w/o him I still can survive I dun need him for anything... but mabbe he will need my help in the future...

Saw his blog even more infuriated...this is some of the stuffs he wrote..
"those iDIOTs who dun haf brains to think & ears to listen just cant get any of my thoughts into those tiny little pathetic brain cells"
of cos the idiots he's referring to my parents and me...

"SOME iDIOT want mi to go to library todae to borrow books to erm.. spend my time reading them instead of having fun..?? L0lX!!! DREAM ON!"
the idiot here is my dad...ya calling his own daddy idiot... bravo wait till my dad sees this

"some bootlicker cum bao toh gia come into the picture"
this is of cos me

And his entire blog is filled wif vulgarities....

Even though I am 9yrs older than him, worked in more coys than him and met even more ppl than him I still dun dare to say I know alot...this little guy her 16 yrs old still haben even go out to work, dare to say he knows alot... haha but anyway u know and I know, those ppl who say they are veyr good and know alot usu. knows little while those who keep quiet are usu those who knows much more..afterall empty vessels make the most noise haha

So many wans, so little $$

End of the year have arrived, I guess many of u'll would be buying Christmas presents... though many would not be christians...
Some of the items that I have "targeted" since begining of the year have also fallen in prices, suddenly feel an urge to get them.
1)MP3 player
2)Continous ink system for my printer
3)Upgrade my computer to Athlon64 and casing

Have been pondering whether to get a MP3 player since long time when my MD spoilt but that time, MP3 players are still quite expensive so in the end never got it. Now prices have fallen so much quite tempted to get one. I am not greedy, mabbe a 1GB one would suffice for me. can be of any brand as long as the sound quality and appearance is acceptable to me then ok already...now still thinking thinking cos no $$

Continous ink system, found out that the cost of using such ink is lower than buying "compatible" cartridges and somemore can use to print photos sometimes...so thinking of getting one as well... my fren got one and he says it's quite good...well gotta do some market survey 1st c which brand is better...mabbe will get one before next sem so can print notes myself...

Been wanting to upgrade my processor to an Athlon64 long ago already..now the new Athlon64 939 comes out the older 754 have fallen in price drastically so mabbe will aim for that... but then the upgrading cost may come up to $200++ (if I sold my older MB and CPU then get the new MB and CPU). Then my casing after being in use for 4-5yrs(can't rem the exact age) have turn yellowish, quite an eyesore...been wishing to change for a long time liao

wah lao if I were to grant myself these 3 wishes I think will severly deplete my coffers... not much left liao after my driving lessons and still need to save $$...
Grr.. mabbe the MP3 player and Athlon64 gonna wait...buy the CISS 1st cos that's more important..

sunboi is super poor, wan to get all things he wan also cannot...Haiz Haiz...

Bro's RS woes

Nothing eventful happened to me recently...so most of the writings here will be dedicated to some of the things I see of the people around me.

1) I think my younger brother have fallen out of love, though he's written it in his blog, but I never heard it from his own mouth so I can only say I "think" until otherwise. At home I think he's trying to act as if nothing's happen. I think he's trying to put on a show to conceal this fact.I don't know why but he should have at least tell my mum (though my mum's a bit of a chatterbox, telling her is equivalent to telling the whole family) I mean if u tok to some1, you will feel better. To me he's just trying to act strong but inside he's feeling really terrible... Using the excuse of mouth ucler he's been eating very little saying that he has no appetite cos of the ucler but I think the truth is he's lost his appetite because of his ex-gf. from wat I observe he's trying to patch up with his ex-gf and I believe that the 3rd party in his relationship is a fren of his.
I think when u are in a relationships there are bound to be alot of problems, during courtship, have to worry abt 3rd party lah, time, and $ for future plans like for my case wif dd. though we have been together for 6+ years sometimes I also dun understand wat she is thinking...most of the time, she will say this and do that. Her views of things will also change over time. for example, I also dunno why she is so reluctant to save $ for pongx4 wif me (though she had said earlier she would) afterall I think in the present society now, I believe husband and wife need to save $ together else if just one party save god know how long he/she is going to take and it's quite unfair to the saving party also (just imagine one save like mad,the other spend and enjoy like mad). Talk about couples should share woes and weal?

Oh bother I think I am straying a bit from the main topic here. From what I said earlier I feel there another component to relationship and that's tolerance. U have to tolerate your the-other-half's sometimes erratic and ilogical behaviour.

Oh another more light-hearted thing,I bought the sepxxx refillable cartridge for my Epson CX3500 printer. Damn it's all a hoax, say can refill...My foot!blaff people one, for those who are planning to buy thinking that it can be refilled, better dun buy ..cheat people's $$...!
planning to buy the inkstation Continous Ink Supply system now...else buy cartridge is super expensive... now saving $$ to buy...
