YUL KWON WINS SURVIVOR!!!

Finally... an ASIAN wins one of my all time favourite reality shows... WELL DONE MATE>>>> You get my vote for asian dude of the year.. haha

you know, there was so much controversy at the start of the season when people were blowing up all this big hoo hah about how it's racist to put people in groups according to their ethnicity... (ASIAN, CAUCASIAN, AFRICAN, LATINO) well i personally thought that it was a fantastic concept, in fact all the jeers were in essence from the angmos themselves; none of my friends be they asian or african thought that i was racist...

anyhow... i'm just proud of the fella... i mean year after year, season after season, we see the solitary asian fella get knocked out of the game within the first two episodes...

in this season of survivor however, the whites and blacks were the biggest losers, with the final 3 being a latino and two asians...

well no suggestiveness whatsoever but yar...

SO HAPPY FOR HIM LAAARRR!

seems like the recent earthquakes in taiwan has been identified as the cause of all the internet distruptions in singapore...

well it's not the first time that something from taiwan has screwed up singaporean's lives.

lol sometimes in life you do stupid silly things that you cannot comprehend...
but just smile at yourself after doing it...

.
.
.
.

well i guess there are triggers for such things...
* a bad day at work
* experiencing too much of "it" in the past
* and just not being a numberONEfan of such hookups...

anyhow...
i guess the catalyst was an article in a local magazine i read recently...
about the dating trends of women in singapore these days...
and many of them put *FOREIGNER A PLUS as one of their criterias...
HUR...
and so i was at Pastamania with jeremy and siti...
and i saw an angmo guy with a lovely chinese lady at one the tables... giggling...
and so i was rude to barge in...
and so it was not any of my business...
and so perhaps i am an idiot...
but it was all for a good cause...

i wrote on a piece of paper...

"YOUTUBE.COM : WESTERNIZEASIAN"

put it on their table.
and went to foodjunction for lunch instead before losing my appetite...

*SITI: LAUGHSLAUGHSLAUGHS

WHO SAYS SPENDING CHRISTMAS ALONE HAS TO BE BORING?

well here i am...
spending christmas alone in the house for 4 years in a row now...
boring boring boring would be the natural answer for many...

However, i for one am going against the cliche-ridden scripts!

waking up at 5.20am every morning to get to work (damn 7AM SHIFT), coming home at 4pm and then heading out to play soccer if the rain allows me to...

Sometimes... the eerieness of the house comes to pull at my senses; the tranquility is ideal for "zen-ess" in the day, but when dusk hits, i just feel creeped out... there's this paranoia that i'm going to get robbed...
but then again there's nothing to steal from this house hahahaha...

SO... when i feel all clustered up in this space i call my base, i'd resort to talent #101 that exists in jeraldjustin (and NO... TALKING TO MYSELF is not one of em...)
and that is...

COOKING A FANTABOLOUS CHRISTMAS DINNER!!!

well not only for myself laaaar... i gave two pieces each of my meaty meats and mushy mushrooms to my neighbour AUNTIE ESTHER... (OMG i'm talking like my vw colleague now.. must stop having lunch breaks wit her.. lol the engrish from that mouth too cutesy already)
anyhow i told A.E that if the meal sucks dont tell me... hahahaha...

so here are the pics of my christmas menu ~ ala jeraldjustin @ 6 EASTWOOD PLACE>...
WHO SAYS A LONELY CHRISTMAS CANNOT BE FUN HUH HUH HUH????!!!!
well the cleaning up part totally sucks hahaa...

* Pan Fried Beef TopSide with RedWine and sauteed Garlic, plus a dash of oregano leaves and red chilli pepper.
* Grilled Chicken Thigh in Olive Oil, Oyster sauce, Rosemary, and Garlic, brushed with corn flour.
* BBQ Portabello Mushrooms in Red Onion and Garlic Butter with bacon bits * $2 sparkling grape juice (750ml)
* Durian Ice Cream from Eastwood ICE CREAM GALLERY

all dishes created from whatever ingredients there are in the friggin fridge by JERALDJUSTIN

eh how come i have a thin upper lip in this pic??? whoa lao not good not good.. chinese say that it means the person is very mean and cruel.. OMG AM I???

boh liao take picture of myself cooking hahaha...

grilled chicken...

dish #1 * Grilled Chicken Thigh in Olive Oil, Oyster sauce, Rosemary, and Garlic, brushed with corn flour. >>> that's the portabello, and the white thingy is the toasted french bun.

birds eye view of #1

the BEFORE: close up portabello

ALRIGHT NOW>..

MERRY FRIGGIN CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

SCCCCHHHOOLLLEEEESSSSS!!!

just hosted another event...
this time one of my mum's army contact's wedding...
weddings are really a unique affair... i mean which other event can you safely say that a 100percent of the people will attempt to be fashionably late?
SERIOUSLY???
hahaa...
the invitation card read 7.30pm sharp and yet we could only begin at 8.45pm.
LOL.

eh damn funny lar there were 3 other guys on my table... and they asked me how old i was.. when i said that i was 19; they got a shock lar... they said that they tot i was 24-25 years old, "cause the way that i carry myself is very mature..."
... HARHARHAR... i just stood there and like... wtf...
"you know i think you three are the very first people to have ever said that to me..." (in my head i was thinking that they were probably drunk haha)
it's just weird lar...
the general consensus is that i am childish and all...
which is very true..
and yet, certain times in life i bump into a handful of varying people who look at me with really different eyes... maybe they just dont know me well enough, or perhaps they have the ability to look through whatever facade i don on and just understand...

anyhow..
nickshen was my mandarin co-host and we had a blast of a time, with the sword bearers sabotaging the bride and groom; and the crowd in attendance was also a pretty decent bunch, cos they laughed at all of our lame jokes... which is a positive rarity...
so here are the pics...

the girl in yellow isnt very photogenic, but she's hot in real life.. like really... and she speaks pretty good english... LOL i tot she was an ahlian and then when she opened her mouth i got taken aback... WHOA YOUR ANGMO SO POWERFUL?

the co host who took all the female attention away from me... haha what am i talking about there's none to take away LOL..

CONGRATS NICHOLAS AND JOSECLYN

Nicholas the groom in his smart army suit

you know i usually hate champagne... cause it's a sure hangover, plus it tastes shit bitter... but the two glasses i had today were great lar... it was mildly sweet (i dont know if that's a good thing) and there wasnt too much bitterness... haha must find out the brand

put your hands together!

cracking lame jokes

man that champagne was good..

sometimes... you havent seen someone in a long long time...
and when you just try to impress them...
it comes out all wrong...

zoo time!
so it's rained and flooded like crazy in singapore... but we 3 took a glorious risk and went to the mandai zoo earlier today for a supposedly fun get together...
yar i know what you're thinking, "so boh liao" 20yearolds going to the zoo...
but my friends, i have to say that you're very wrong if tat's ur way of thinking...
cause we're merely caring for the wellbeing of the animals and juz want to know that they're okay after all the incessant rain that has been pouring down...
LOL...
actually i just wanted to go to the zoo... havent been there since primary six.. so it was really quite enjoyable though the internal natural BUZZ that you get as a kid in a zoo just doesnt exist anymore...
so here are the pics!

some random wooden sculptures... resist the urge to type 3stooges or 3clowns or 3whatever

giraffes!

best pic of the day- lurve it lar i couldnt believe the pics came out so well.. most of the anyway.. i had a lil trouble with the settings at the start..

krssy navigates

alright now..

back to shang...

im gonna go into rambling mode here...
so bear with me please. if you wish to.... that is.

it's just that...
i've been divulging myself into the past a lot recently. (wat's new huh>?)
it was further manifested by the recent return to my secondary school...
walking past familiar corridors... soaking in all the nostalgia...
and i just had to... i just had to climb the staircase up to the fourth floor...
where i stood everyday staring across into another block... into a classroom...
where...
yes once again..
a female resides... or.. resided... which way you look at it...

geokmui was one year older.
just like the many many many other ones...
it took 3 insatiable years to... without use of a better word, move... on...
you know... i've never ever spoken to her normally...
NEVER...
haha...
so weird right...
it's such a total paradox lar...
there i was... the noisiest most infamous totally not shy fella in secondary school.. hosting shows here and there...
and yet i've never had the guts to say HELLO...
like.. so SECONDARY ADOLESCENT SHIT LAAAAAAR///...

time has ticked by oh so much but it's funny how nothing much has really changed... im progressing on to the 2nd year of letting go now... with a totally different individual..
but yar...
it's a... very incredibly toe tickling sensation..
i wanna say it's not affecting me...
cause really it's not...
it's just that there's nothing filling up the space so i just wander off into the most untouchable territories bounded in the past...

i mean i really couldnt care less..
cause i'm enjoying spending the free cash on myself without having to worry about (*ahem) unforseen circumstances...
oh well i guess i have to forgive ms.2006 yar... caused me to be so damn friggin bottled up after the fracas... i really thought that i was going somewhere..

"oh he's just having a rest on my bed in my room... oh dont be angry yar are you angry... bite bite bite bite bite... bite marks here and there... this is right, this you and me, this is right... "
haha what a fool yar? i believed every single word and action...

remember m&n saying..
she could either be the biggest bitch in the world... or she could really like you...
LOL.
(okay wait better clear things up or people might misunderstand.. ms2006 is not the sameperson as the one mentioned in da previous paragraph!)

omg i just realized that im like such a loser lar...
HAR HAR
.
.
.
.


so work in shangrila takes me down to orchard road everyday... where i have to walk from orange grove road to lucky plaza in order to catch the number 14 bus once my shift ends at 3pm...
and i have to say that i pass by really really really really beautiful people...
but what really really really really irks me the most is...
well...
it's very much how one decides to analyze the darn situation really...
i just wonder...

DO MEN NOT CARE ABOUT DRESS CODES ANYMORE?
so maybe my perception of standards and stuff is totally unrealistic/inexperienced....
but seriously.. i see very beautiful girls on the street dressed so appealingly sweet in their wavy skirts, cutesy tops and sultry shoes.... and then the guys holding their hands dressed in tshirt, bums, and slippers....
whoa lao so damn friggin EDDY GOH lar.. (HAR.. (pause) HA ... (pause ) HUR)

following up on a post i made two weeks back (whoa so fast ah two weeks already...)

"sometimes you look at someone and you just think... man i can so love her"

and i just want to say...

MAN I TOTALLY AGREE WITH MYSELF>>>> hahahaha
i wonder where she's gone now?
well i wonder where all of em have gone now.. not only that stranger in katong shopping who was so totally bubbly and chatty (fucking PERFECT LAR SHE.. stupid me and my unsmooth personality plus lack of physical qualities) ... where's quagmire when you need the fella....

i returned yesterday to the BEST SCHOOL..... in Simei...

for the changkat changi 40 year anniversary dinner with Nathan and his wife as the vips ...

and i have to admit that it was a lot more fun than i had imagined it to be.. even though it cost me 60bucks, and only 6 people from my sec4Express batch came... NONE OF MY sec3/4 classmates came laaaar so sick haha... so i ended up sitting with the smart ass science students (i was an arts student) waaaaaaay at the back cos we only paid 60bucks whilst the people in the front paid thousands...

but yar... it was a whole lot of fun, meeting old teachers, combing nostalgic classrooms, and taking heaps of photographs...

annnnnnd.. you wont belive who i saw lar.... who tapped my shoulder and said harrrllooo...

SHORTYYYY!!!

like wtf right...

apparently his father was an old boy in the school... but yar... i seem to bump into him everywhere i go lar... haha

so here are the pics..

the bravest student.... ME... haha.. i was the only person who dared to approach nathan and his wife for a picture... when i went up there were like, 3 photographers who took countless blaaarddee photographs with heaps of flashes lar.. even nathan.. oops.. i mean PRESIDENT nathan laughed when the cameras wouldnt stop flashing...

my science teacher, ms ling geok keng... blardee hell failed my sec4 mid term paper.. never forgave her for that hahahaha...

AAHHH my two favouritest of all/// mrs Loke the CAULIFLOWER (haha i coined that term in sec1 and it has been written in the history of changkat.. everyone remembers her as Mrs Cauliflower now) and of course the sports woman Mrs. Tan!

Mr Fred Flinstone himself.. .MR CHIA ENG SOON>. longest serving teacher laaar.. 30plus years!

drama mama art teacher mdm fazidah

prefectorial board! front: santi - secretary, sockgeok - head prefect back: Khairul - head of PR, ME- head of guard, Sheik - vice head

crazy amnesia prone blur man Mr Heng

MRS AMARPAL SINGH and MDM PEREMA!!!

mdm adibah. the english whiz

my sec4 form teacher ms Hasrita.. look at the vainpots albeit rather pretty MLDDS girls in the background! lol my teacher took a step back when i walked towards her cos she taught "WHO's this VIP walking to me?" hahaha.. i was like the only idiot wearing a jacket lar.. i tot it was a formal dinner cos to me if a meal costs more than 20bucks than im definately gonna dress it up a notch lOL... so the ushers also tot i was a VIP.. damn funnnnnneee laaaar... the discipline master had to tell them : "aiyo he's not a vip lar he's an EX STUDENT LAAAR hahahaha"

hasrita, noraini and rabiyah

mrs pinto.. so much stress lar she's like... changed so much (HAGGERED 's the word..)

yes i'm back to work at ShangriLa... hence.. not been updating for ages...

everyday 7am - 3pm.... wake up at 5.20am to catch the 5.45am number14 bus...

DAMN SIAAAAAAAANNN...

other than obscene hours... i actually enjoy work to a certain extent...

well, there's like, a handful of trainees and such, but other than that things are pretty much the same...

havoc in breakfast time at the back kitchen but all smiles out the swinging door when holding a tray full of drinks and a burning plate of hot food to serve the guests...

i guess the most boring part of this job is the monotony of it all..

come in, serve guests, top up pantry, send linen, polish cutlery, set up tables, fold napkins, take stock, top up alcohol... yada yada yada yada... then sometimes must go for meeting or training.. lol... that's life yar... working working working... but it's good. the rewards i mean... in terms of monetary resources... oh well... hahahaha

there's been a couple of big shots this past week... mr Chow himself stayed with us for 4 days...

i have to say that of all the celebs i've met, he's the MOST humble, friendly, down to earth and totally approachable fella... THUMBS UP MATE!

the Queen of Qatar also graced us with her prescence, and 8 CAR entourage. LOL damn kiasu lar. everytime she went out or came back there'd be like african bodyguards (i tot qatar was in asia haha) everywhere and bmws, mercs, and two maroon vans would drive up the ramp....... dunno what she's doing here when the Asian games is currently held in her country... hahahaa...

anyhow here a few pics i took at work..

sometimes...
once, twice, maybe three times in your life...
a girl will walk in...
and you'd just can't think of anything else, but wanting to be the man who loves her.
than she leaves as quickly as she came...
and you just feel shattered.

i met her today, at a photocopy shop in katong shopping centre.
and the first thing that came to mind, besides the fact that she was beautiful, was that... she looked absolutely delightful.

i dont know about anyone out there but i've really never used or came across such a term to describe a female...
and yet it struck my mind...
it really is a suggestive term isnt it...
delightful...
that perhaps time spent with her will make me happy...

but yes...
i guess what made her so appealing was that she's shorter than me, and not many are shorter...
she had a thousand watt smile that was natural... really natural...
i say natural because there are many smiling beauties in the world, but when they arent smiling they look arrogant, say... debbie wong, or jade seah...
this girl... even when her white, white, teeth werent in a smile, you could see it in her eyes- corny but yar.. she had smiling eyes.
just right boobs in a pretty cotton orangy polka dot top, and great great ass in faded snug jeans. and she in those shoes that screamed "comfortable to wear".

she was inquisitive.
she bent over to see what i was printing... (pics for my shang friends)
and struck a conversation.
"so you work in a hotel?"

perfect.
beautiful and a conversationalist.

but yar...
definately attached i guess...
she looks 25 or something.. married?
we spoke for awhile, she used to work in the hyatt- i think she's a teacher now, she didnt say but she was printing some posters that looked like it was for a school; we laughed when the store owner recognized me and said that many years ago i used to come with my mum and that i was the short short fat fat one.

boy did she laugh.. she giggled... and the thousand watts lit up the room...
i just smiled. and thought...
man i could love her.
