Finally its Friday again. Haha. Technically its been a 3days working week for me this week and it shall be another 3days working week for me next week. How can i take it? haha. This weekend is going to be another gastronomic adventure for me and dearie again. We are going to glenn's place where the big chef will whip up a feast for us to enjoy. Haha. Saturday is going to be grocery shopping again. I really love grocery shopping. I also dunno why. Frankly speaking, i haven't seen anyone that doesn't like grocery shopping. haha.
Tonight will be dinner as usual at home? Sharon will be having dinner at Shangri-la's the line as part of her company year end festival celebrations. WTF. Afterwhich, most likely is going to be heading down to Punggol park again for some booze? haha. maybe a champagne will be fine for me. hehe. To my disappointment, punggol park doesn't have my favourite moet chandon. hahaha.
Was down at J8 yesterday as i didn't want to wait for ages for Sharon to get her hair done at central mall. HAHA. I gotten myself a Shiseido man's toner. that is to top off my moistoriser collection. Cause my complexion hasn't been good since i came back from the uk even though i know for a fact that my complexion hasn't been good before. haha.
Wednesday night was basically chill. I received a message from Glenn asking me out for a drink cause he said that he feels like having a beer or something. its is like machiam tio bey pio man. Glenn ask me out to drink. Cardin came along too and as ever, kept us entertain with his nonsensical jokes.
Christmas is like round the corner. I haven't even finished my Christmas shopping yet. Erm.. shall continue to do so tonight. I dun think Sharon will be done at shangri-la until maybe 10plus? that leaves me with some time to do some last minute shopping. haiz...
I'm dreaming of a white christmas....... not snow city but real snow..... Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Omg... its a monday all over again. The typical Monday blues. Its been quite a weekend yet again. Alot of feasting, boozing etc.. haha.
Friday
After like three days off in the middle of the week, i finally went back to work on Friday thinking that its Friday anyway, so its not going to be bad anyway. Time past really slowly. I didn't know why. Maybe is just that there was too much anticipation for the minute clock to tick by. It was horrible. After that it was dinner at home as usual. Then i met Zhi Huang for drinks where i past him a t-shirt i got for him in the UK. Its actually his favourite brand. so i hope he liked it. Merry christmas to you bro. I must really say that my brother can really drink well nowadays. All thanks to me. evil laughter. hehe.
Saturday
Pick dearie up and head straight for lunch at a hawker centre in Ang Mo Kio for fish head. yum yum. Then it was back to her house to slack. it was raining very heavily that day. what a nice time to slack and laze around at home. Then, went down to VW to meet glenn and Jasmine. Glenn is very much into the Golf but he was unable to test drive it as he is not 23 yet. haha. Afterwhich to Audi then performance motors before we headed down to Ang Mo Kio for our noodle crab, butter crab and chilli crab. Wow. i must say that i really enjoy eating those crabs man. I definately wouldn't mind more. haha. Afterwhich was down to fetch my mum and we proceeded to Loyang for some prayers. Last event for the day. Punggol Park with glenn and jasmine. I had earlier just ordered a jug of beer. Realising that it was exactly 1year since i enlisted as a national slave, i thought i might do well to treat myself to a bottle of champagne. hehe....
Sunday
Slept till 4plus in the afternoon before heading down to Tampines mall to change the set-up box for my cable tv. Anyway its the big match today man. It is a match that all football fans are waiting for. Gotten a call from snorbbish Cardin. This i what he said.
me: Hello, hey, hi... how have you been bro??
Cardin: I am fine. Are you ready for the big game tonight?
me: Yes. Its gonna be a good game in prospect.
cardin: No, i am asking if you are ready to see Liverpool thump 4 goals past ManU without reply?
me: .......
So after dinner at home, it was down to oscar's at conrad with cardin. Haven't seen that guy in ages. he seems to be enjoying his NS pretty much. Who wouldn't considering he has been out of camp 70% of his time. Guess what? There was only one outcome for the match. a Man United victory. Sometimes i really gonna admire the spirits of Liverpool fans. Every season, they will come to me telling me this is going to be their season that they are going to kick our arse. How many times have they done it? I think i should leave that answer to all liverpool fans out there. Cardin especially. haha.......

Hi everyone, i am finally back from the uk. Sorry couldn't blog about my trip earlier because i have been suffering from a very bad jetlag. I can only fall asleep at about 530 in the morning and unable to wake up until its 4 in the afternoon. Back to work as usual today. it is so damn sian. how can i take it. luckily its 8 months more before i distrupt anhead to the uk again to study. Here is more about our trip.
Before my trip could actually start, i met with an accident with a taxi. guess only jasmine saw the real damage of my car as i had to meet her to get glenn's psp from her.
23nov, nothing very much happened apart from my flight to london heathrow. met glenn and jas for a smoke at the airport before my flight as glenn was down at the airport doing his project or something.
24nov, arrived in heathrow at about 0545. i must say the immigration in heathrow is a real pain in the ass. they questioned me as if i as a terrorist. Why are you here, for what, where you stay, who are you here with, what is your occupation etc... after that, waited in the airport for about 3 hours before its time to take the coach with my aunt to wellington, a little town in somerset which happens to be my cousin's home. i must say that her luggage is really crazy. 160kg worth of baggage. wondering what is wrong with her mind. Even the national express staffwas complaining that he didn't see such heavy baggages in his life before, not even during his time in the army. upon arrival, just settled in, and head straight to taunton for our first of many waves of shopping. Dearie and i went crazy at burton, topshop, and river island. omg. we were a full load of shopping bags at the end of day 1. Overnight at my cousin's place for day 1.
25 nov, headed down to bristol where we got went crazy yet again. shop shop and shop until we even forgo the chance to go bath just to have more time to shop. Its FCUK this time around. I think i got 2 polo tees from there and a t-shirt while sharon got herself a pair of jeans and many others to name afew. overnight in bristol. hehe.
26nov, headed down to london today. decided to hope on the big bus tour that will take you virtually all the attractions in london. As this is the first time for sharon to the uk, it was a good experience apart from the freezing temperature as we were seating on the upper deck of the open top bus. Then after that, it was pizza hut for us for dinner. 2 pasta and a medium hawaiian pizza set us back about 50pounds. what is this man. haiz. overnight in london.
27 nov, its birmingham today. went crazy shopping yet again. got myself lots of tees from puma and sharon got herself a puma birmingham tee which i think was pretty nice. wanted to get jas a tee from puma too but dunno whether she will like it or not, so decided not to get any for the ime being first. Then it was off to addidas where we got lots of souveneirs.
28nov, its a big day today. after days of comtemplating renting a car, i finally did it today. rented a peugoet 207 a 1.4litre car to drive up to surrey. Hopefully it will be my school come summer. haha. i must pay a little tribute to sharon on this. even though she may be very bad with roads in singapore, she is actually a decent map reader. we manage to find our way to surrey without a GPS which i think was really great. haha. met mel and she showed us around school. Mel had jus moven out of the hostel to stay somewhere in the city centre. I think she has gotten herself a real bargain. Her place is really lovely apart for the toilet that she is always complaining about. afterwhich, we took a drive to godalming. the place where the movie the holiday was filmed. it is really a very nice little town i must say. heard from mel that lots of chelsea players stays in surrey too. haha. Afterwhich, it was more shopping again before we had dinner at nandos, a portugese restaurant that serves very good chicken and pork liver. haha.
29 nov, decided to head up north to clarks village. the headquaters of clarks shoes in the world. bought lots of shoes for my family. ended up buying 17pairs of shoes all in all with sharon having 4pairs of it. gave jasmine a ring as i wanted to get her a shoe. end up couldn't fine a shoe with the heels that we will normally associate with her and thus decided to shelf the plan. Sharon also bought lots of stuff from crabtree and evelyn. they have a store down at clarks villae and i must say that stuff there is pretty reasonable.
30nov, drove up north to manchester today. 300miles was the total distance. petrol set me back about 75pounds all in all. it was down at old trafford today. wat a magnificent stadium they have got. There is just so must to talk about that i think i can't possibly finish in this blog. will put up more pictures in my next post. haven't got a chance to upload it yet.
dec 1, off to london for more shopping. i must say that shopping wasn't the highlight of the day. it was souvenir shopping at tesco that was the highlight of the day. we bought a whole trolley full of chocolates until the cashiers commented that , wow, thats alot of chocalates for christmas. total bills for chocaltes alone, 250 pounds. what were we thinking about? i guess we just had the adrenalin rush of putting chocalates into our trolley. now i am beginning to wonder how are we going to stuff all the things we bought into our luggages.
dec 2, spent the day packing before heading to the airport. Heathrow really sucks to the core man. after clearing immigration, there is absolutely nowhere around the airport that you can find a smoking area apart from outside the airport. the staff was also very rude. the heathrow experience just sucks to the core man. fuck those people. cannot smoke = more shopping before our flight. haiz. afterwhich, it is the end of my fish and chips with salt and vinegar adventure. hahaha. love it to bits.
overall, i did enjoy our trip very much. however, england is really very expensive. if england was about the same range as tokyo it would have been so much better. haha. guess the japanese also finds england very expensive. hehe. will upload more photos of my trip very soon... cheers....
