lock-me-out-nator

just had a game of golf over at kranji few days ago. it rained and stopped for a few times. finally, our game was stopped at the 18th hole(last hole) before we could finish.

for the whole game, i tried to tee-off using a 5 or 3 wood(no idea what i was using:p). most of it went straight and nice. my iron play was pretty alrite too. only 2 or 3 shots that failed to take off.

but my short game around the green and putting is atrocious. reading of the green was bad. too used to the flat greens in the public courses in australia already:p

all in all, consistent. double bogeyed most of the holes:P did i have a par somewhere, i forgot. my short term memory is acting up again.

no updates for days because....

1. lazy
2. lazy
3. and the whole internet is damn slow!!

yah yah blame it all on the internet.

on the morning of christmas (or eve) day i woke up abit late into the morning. i saw an ang bao laying on my table.

"life is good. i get paid to sleep" i thought.

then i go ask my mum who put it there. so apparently it was my dad, for my birthday. damn once a year only. and i thought i get paid for sleeping.

these few days i have been dinners at friend's place and mini celebrationg of the festive season. but my appetite has not been as good due to the cough and sore throat.

anyway last friday, started with a mini potluck with my cell group @ ed's new place.


not much pics here due to the feasting on the food. oh the meatballs the glorious apple pie....

then on christmas eve, back to ed's place for dinner with a few of my bad company. i made some pasta, while WL and mich made some ham cocktails. other food included were pork knuckles.


then there was the christmas bbq at my place. the weather made the bbq doubtful, but it sort of stopped in time. and as we ended, it started pouring again, for the next freaking 24hrs again!!!



food food food again! sure fat. luckily i sort of controlled the buying and contribution of the food, or else sure end up with loads of leftover enough to put humanitarian efforts to shame.

it was great to see the guys again! quite abit of pictures taken during the christmas eve potluck. can see it here.

the bbq pics here

festive seasons almost over. hope guys and gers had fun!! its good to be back.

i just called my ISP to inform them that i wanna terminate my internet services. i was told by the automated voice response that i need to wait for 35minutes!!

and wooahhh thankfully, i needed to wait for only 20 FREAKING minutes. and when i got through, i can't get it done through the phone. instead all i got is an email address to email the image of my notification! all these for the 20minutes waiting time.

Netspace please take note, the waiting time is quite unacceptable, i could have taken a dump and a shower, or probably save the world. and i have not mention the unreliable broadband service quality that tends to take a half hour break every few days, or worse alternate days.

these few days, i have been packing my stuff. however in between i went out shopping in the city twice and sold off my car.

the daihatsu charade has been sold :( gonna miss driving it. its so fun to drive it, small and zippy. have to make do without car for these few days.

and shopping....sunday and wednesday, i did some shopping in the city. bought some cool adidas t-shirts, a pair of levis jeans and a pair of replay shoes. pocket damaged, but its ok, no more shopping already! the shopping i did is quite abit, at least for my standards, and its not even for chinese new year clothings.



good thing to have some girls when shopping. because of my extra easy-going when shopping. i tend to settle on the first thing that seem to fit. but they will have a look and tell u go try another size. good thing, if not i will probably end up with some size misfits.

gotta finish packing and cleaning up the mess by tomorrow. then my family will come into melbourne on saturday. nice....its been awhile since i saw them.

feeling guilty of using pirated software? don't wanna pay for your office suite? a good list of open source software for windows.

look no further. Link here

5. OpenOffice
http://www.openoffice.org/
Replaces Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint
If you want to replace the rest of the Office suite, your best bet is OpenOffice. It includes very nice replacements for Excel and PowerPoint (and workable replacements for Access and other Office elements). In fact, I actually prefer their Excel and PowerPoint replacements to the real thing.

the top ten list of what bad things are good for you.

The newest bad kid on the block, beer has long been overshadowed by its healthier alcoholic cousins. While no one's suggesting you switch that glass of antioxidant-rich Pinot Noir for a tall glass of lager—there's still that beer gut to worry about—new research has suggested that moderate beer intake can actually improve cardiovascular function. Now if only a scientist will discover the health benefits of ballpark franks and chicken wings. Heaven.

a lot of people commented on it. and i fully agree. the creases/wrinkle/watever-folds-you-call-it on my forehead are quite visible.

the more i notice it, the more it seem to get deeper(?) or worse. i need those skin tightening or anti-wrinkle cream. anyone got tips to improve the conditions?

gimme a year, no improvements and it will probably be similar to those on this mastiff



go sleep. tomorrow would be better
yeah right :(

waahahaha article on procrastination, and its not an article about how bad procrastination is. instead it is about how to procrastinate effectively!

procrastinators like me go have a read.

There can be many good reasons to procrastinate:

• Some crucial ideas, notions, thoughts may come to you only when you’re not working on your project.
• Effective procrastination recharges your batteries and gives you new energy.
• Maybe there’s something else you could be doing instead and procrastinating means you get it done.
• Maybe whatever it is you’re supposed to do, turns out to be irrelevant or even a bad idea. Maybe the reason you procrastinated was, that your subconscious knew this before your conscious mind.

woke up early to go for a morning run. was crossing the road and ready to run when i saw a damn beautiful lady walk towards me and planted the most passionate kiss i ever had on my lips.......

ahhh...that would be nice it had really happen, wouldn't it?

instead i saw my classmate on his bicycle. he asked me if i wanna play basketball. what the hell, alrite, lets go!

so went to the school basketball court to shoot some basket. and then a small 4on3 match took place. its been a year and half since i last touched a basketball.

i am pleased that i can still shoot hoops, sink some shots and kick some ass, although my ass got kicked a few times as well.

now my shoulders abit aching from the twist & turns i subjected my body to. warm bath!

best buy! must buy! ok...not really. amazon has better deals with the second hand editions, but i can't get the instant gratification of reading through online shopping, plus shopping on amazon probably needs a credit card (remember poor student, only got blockbuster membership card).

after a very filling dinner of roast duck at pacific house, walked down chapel street with MH. no where to go, so ended up in borders.

foreseeing the amount of free time available in the next coming week, i decided to snap at the 3For2 offer. i walked out of borders with 3 new novels. now number of novels purchased is greater than that of textbooks purchased for my entire tertiary studies. which is a good thing. more enjoyment and cheaper.

However,on the other hand, the novels only fill my hand with consipracy theories, ideas of how to kill like a special forces agent or hiding up murders.



walked out of the bookshop and then went into a cafe a few doors down and plonked our ass down for some coffee and cake. now my tummy feels like bursting.

probably rest early, wake up for a long slow run tomorrow morning, provided its not too warm.
