I just found out that the top managements in my company and even a bulk of our customers live and breathe golf. That of course spells trouble for me, someone who thinks a "birdie" is a childhood nickname for his privates. Among other golf terms I find amusing:

You Snooze You Lose

2009-07-10T22:33:00.003+08:00

I am arriving to work late almost everyday. Credit goes to this habit that I have of hitting the snooze button every time my cell phone alarm goes off.

So here, I have devised an ingenious plan to incorporate both my love for repetitively hitting a button and my need to get to work on time:

Scenario One

Ling: My birthday coming. I want presents.

Ben: Hey, would you want me to sweep you off your feet onto my white horse and romantically ride into the sunset.. or presents?

Ling: Hm.....

Ben: Still have to think?!

Ling: White horse la!

Ben: Hihihihihihi.

Ling: Don't tell me you're the horse.

Ben: I have no money to buy a horse.

Ling: Then how?

Ben: But got money to buy white cloth.

Scenario 2

Ling: I want diamonds for my birthday.

Ben:

Ling: Such a 'beautiful' diamond! 'Thanks' a lot!

Ben: Fine, I'll touch it up.

Ling: You're bombing my diamonds?

Ben: No. That is a four carrot diamond.

Dad had some friends over for dinner yesterday. One of the couples brought their grandchild over because no one was home to babysit her. She was apparently rather popular with the aunties that night, especially my mum. Even one of my uncles went, "Wa you see your mother so happy to hold someone else's grandchild! Eh Ben, your mother wants one of her own!"

Now at first I found it pretty funny because mum went quiet but then the uncle added, "Your mother already has a proposal! She says she's gonna poke holes in your condoms! Haha!" I swear I saw evil in my mum's eyes:

(Enters bedroom, switches on the lights)
Ben: Ma!!
Mum: Uh oh.
Ben: Ma, what are you doing with my condoms?
Mum: I'm er... poking holes in them.
Ben: But why?
Mum: Ventilation.
Ben: Ma...
Mum: One way or the other I WILL get my grandchild, just you wait! Muahahaha! (Fades into darkness)

Not so funny anymore.

Being back in KL means that I have to start making an effort to understand the pains and pressures of city life, a.k.a. the city roads. Lesson one took place last week when I was forced to drive to Puchong for an interview.

This is the route I was supposed to take:

This is the route I took:

I overshot a total of 10 turnings; 6 on the way to the office and 4 on the way back to home. Not bad considering that this is the first time I've driven out of PJ. I swear if my girl wasn't there with me, I literally would have painted the town red.

You're It!

Life after university has been slow:

(In the car, on the way to lunch)
Ben: Let's play tag!
Sis: In the car?
Ben: Yeah, let's rock-paper-scissors!
Sis: But-
Ben: Rock beats scissors. You're it, hahahahaha! *Scoots excitedly away from sister*
Sis: Er...
Ben: Hahahahaha! *continues scooting*
Sis: Dad, I think kor kor needs to a get a job.

Boredom is killing me!

I would be lying if I said that it is because work and assignments in uni are catching up to me. Truth be told, I met someone recently and well, I would wanna focus all that wit and humor to just one person now.

I thank you all for being such wonderful and supportive audiences (uiseh, perasan). Anyways till the next update, do take care.

What Did We Do In Tioman?

2008-08-25T13:09:00.007+08:00

We arrived at the jetty at 9.30am.

Played in the waters till lunch time.

Went jungle trekking after lunch.

Had gay moments while jungle trekking.

Made sure Adrian does not get a proper shot while jungle trekking.

Finally arrived at the falls.

Trekked back to our village for dinner.

Rented our snorkelling gear for tomorrow.

Played Big 2 till 1am.

Got up early the next day for snorkeling.

Snorkeled.

And snorkeled.

We basically spent the entire day snorkeling.

Just had to unwind by playing Big 2.

Then we went down to the beach again to suck cock.

At night, we had the most wonderful BBQ dinner.

After which, we chatted the night away.

And woke up the next to day to play in the waters for one last time.
It was the most fun I have had in a long, long time. A lot more pictures here.

Island Getaway Plan

2008-08-18T00:59:00.006+08:00

For this semester break, the gang planned for a 3 days 2 nights island getaway to Pulau Tioman. Work has been piling up like mad back in uni and this trip is definitely the best opportunity for us to de-stress and let loose!

Or at least we will try.

College Archery Competition

2008-08-09T18:45:00.010+08:00

Presenting the K16/17 archery team representatives:

No Eye See
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the worst player in the team:

Me
This is Adrian being pissed at the worst player in the team:

My points weren't even enough to be counted in the score sheet
This is my roommate taking revenge for me:

Balls-eye
Normie aims high:

Going trigger happy
Normie aims low:

Straight men do not see this as problem
Actually, these pictures weren't as funny as compared to the reactions we got from the athletes there while we were snapping these photos. Heheh. Sigh, we are hopeless a bunch. Not even an archery competition participated by state representatives and refereed by highly experienced officials could get us to put on a serious attitude, not even for a minute.

Our college team got 6th out of 10. Not bad considering we only trained for 2 weeks :)

It's Bound To Happen

Kinda makes you wonder what genre of music is gonna be hot for the next generation. Assuming of course, if the next generation still uses the term, "hot".

Singfest 2008

2008-08-04T22:39:00.014+08:00

For the past two months, Eve, Wanyean and I have been planning a trip down to Singapore to watch one of the most highly anticipated music festivals in South East Asia; the Singfest 2008. Last Sunday, we went to the said event and well.... it was everything we thought it would be and more!

First up was the beautiful church singer turned pop star; Stacie Orrico! I have been listening to her 'Beautiful Awakening' album since last year so her performance that day, to me, was like a huge karaoke session. Perfect way to warm up to the event:

Stacie Orrico - Stuck On You
Right after her was Jamie Scott and The Town. This performance was alright. I only knew two of his songs which was Weeping Willow and Standing In The Rain. This is him performing his new single, Just Kiss Me:

Jamie Scott - Just Kiss Me
After Jamie Scott performed his last song, the crowd started moving forward. We knew someone big was gonna perform up next but we didn't know who! After 10 minutes of waiting, wouldn't you know it, One Republic appeared. The crowd went understandably crazy!

One Republic - Stop And Stare
Now we thought that after One Republic, the crowd was gonna back off a bit. Boy were we wrong :( Things got even more packed in front after that because Panic At The Disco was performing next!!

Panic At The Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedy
Ok by now, we were already perspiring like mad but this time, it was OUR turn to push further up in front! All because JASON MRAZ IS UP NEXT!! It took his crew so damn long to set up his instruments, about 20 minutes. But all that patience was worth it when he finally appeared on stage!

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
He was undoubtedly the top act of Singfest 2008. His charismatic performance got the ENTIRE field to sing and dance! (and maybe steal things, heeeee) Next up was Rick Astley. You could actually see the crowd go, "Rick, who?" and proceed to use his time slot as dinner time. We too, gave up our front row spots to grab a bite.

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
*Burp* After ~~dinner~~ Rick Astley, we came back only to find that the crowd are already packed like sardines in the middle. There was no way we could go back to our original spots so we downgraded and took a place somewhere at the sides. Apparently, the crowd was all hyped up for the next hot act, The Pussycat Dolls!

Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up
My nose almost bled. Coming up after the PCD was the main act of the night, Ms. Keys herself. Problem was, she took TOO long to set up her instruments! By the time she appeared on stage, we were so tired that we just left the show midway. Anyway, here's one of her songs that she performed that night:

Alicia Keys - No One
Although we were pretty worn out (been shaking booty and singing our lungs out for 11 hours straight), we were still very much smiling and humming tunes by Jason Mraz on the way back to the car. It was a really, really good day.

Having good company helped too :D More pictures over here.
