Group Pic

Fiat Fiorino Launch..

Went for th Fiat Fiorino Launch at the Shangrila hotel today. Thanks Daph for the invite! Met quite a lot of nice people as well not to mention the excellent food and drinks that was specially prepared by the hotel. The event was graced by th ambassador of Italy personally unveiled the vehicle. It looked rather awesome!

On a Seperate note the latest entry on the 'The Rotten Apple' is up! The Irony is that i actually bumped into one today. Point to Note: If you unintentionally made eye contact with a person that you don't like while accidentally bumping into him, Please do not quickly lookaway and pretend that it never happened. It seriously makes you look like a stupid Ass... Well, read more about it at http://rottenapple81.blogspot.com/

Short post to start a monday...

Spent the Sunday at home yesterday felling very emotional as well as low... Many questions were running in my head that i know i may never actually find the answer. The emotions were sadly brought forward to monday. Decided to meet up with Lyddie and Grace for some sushi followed by shopping. Went home with some goodies that i bought to add on to my new room!

Things that i bought to contribute to the entertainment corner of my new room!

(Fresh Prince Season 1 DVD, DVD Player, Kate Voegele CD, Friends Season 3 DVD)

With the lovely couple....

With some old classmates....

With the cute Carlsberg Girl!

Congratz Vern and Irv!!

Attended the Wedding of Irvin and Vernice on saturday. It was sweet to see so many old faces that havent been seen for such a long time. Felt rather nostalgic... well in both a positive and a negative way i guess. But overall, am very happy for Irv and Vern! you two make a really lovely couple! Was hosting the wedding ceremony together with Terrence.... it was very interesting how the entire thing turned out! Kinda like a stand up comedy! Had a bit on my mind after that so i decided to go to Harrys @ Chijmes (Just found out that it was a Liverpool bar) to catch the Switzerland vs Czech game... Nice Carlberg promoter was very friendly too (and cute) hehe...

Midweek Update....

Yes its finally approaching the weekend and nothing eventful has happened yet except for the fact that i realised i have bronchitis... damn... sucks ass... But that Aside I have two updates...

Firstly.... Congratulations to my friend nadnut!!!

It has seriously been quite a while since i logged on to stomp and the first time i logged on in months guess what i saw? nadnut is in the house!!! wow... Really proud of you la girl... was spotted to join some more... awesome!

Secondly,

I have mentioned many times before that the purpose of my current blog is to blog about happy moments in my life and memories that i can always check back on (and smile to myself) in the process. However, recently i feel that there is a need for me to comment and discuss more on issues that are either happening around me or directly affecting me. Thus i have started a new blog at:

http://rottenapple81.blogspot.com/

This blog will basically include more 'serious' ramblings instead of myusual style of blogging.

I am already foreseeing a faction telling themselves and the whole world how i am ripping off their concept. Say what they want.... but to me this is just sorting out a personal need la.... Till then!

Muttons Interviewing Cordy whom we were supporting!

June posing while Desmond concentrates on the prawn!

Apparently this was called Salmon Rice....NICE!

I Listen... and Now i understand....

Dad told me about it..... I replied 'maybe they need time' A friend told me about it... I replied 'Nah... i don't think they mean any ill will' But guess what... To Dad and that friend of mine , you both are right all along.. and so it is clear now. No matter, Met up with CP to attend the FHM GND finals held at St James, and boy was it the most extravagant one yet. Justin & Vernon did a fantastic job in hosting as usual and we bumped into some old friends and mt some new ones in the process. Head of to Stations Kitchen for Barbeque after that and the food was great! hahaha CP and his 'Cang Tao' a.k.a Onion Head!

The three girls on stage...

Their Autographs!

With des and Mark...

The Big Idea....

Popped by Ngee Ann City Civic plaza today for the 8 days magazine Big Idea roadshow/carnival. Des and Shan were hosting the event and they looked damn poor thing la... coz the weather was seriously hot and humid... The Event was rather interesting i must say, lots of games and activities of different natures were planned for the day. Managed to meet Fiona Xie, Felicia Chin, Joanne Peh and got their autographs as well. Call me a groupie but sometimes i am just contented being a normal fan queueing up for autographs.

At Butter factory watching ppl play 'Rockband' on PS3!

Kandi bar with a bottle of Jim Beam

Buttered

Its amusing to see how some people some people are able to repeatedly convince themselves that they are doing 'The Right Thing' when in life we may never be able to understand that term for sure. Theres always two sides of the coin. Met up with May and Joey for a movie , I know what happens in vegas have been around for quite some time but didn't really get a chance to watch it. Nevertheless it was a funny show! *Punches person in groin* 'You know why!!!' Hahahahaha... funny la.... next up must find time to watch Indy Jones with Dad as he has always been a huge fan of the franchise. Proceeded to Butter factory after that for a VIP card collection party... finally got my card but found the event to be a little stagnant, plus it was really crowded too. So decided to make our way to Kandi bar for a night of drinking and playing of five - ten. Till then!

With Joey and Cash...

Lol... This time Sam was the one snapping polaroids away!

Misery Loves Company...

Yupyup... as the title on my entry says, misery does love company indeed. Met up with Joey to head off to Dbl O for their 8th Anniversary to get buzzed. It was great to see a number of familiar faces! Would have to say that it was one of the more sucessful events that i attended in a while.

Was trying to take a picture of the mocktail i ordered but the shot was interupted by the PEGSTER! (or her fingers at least)

Group Shot!

Kbox @ AMK

It was a really tough week to go through... emotionally, physically and mentally. Thank god for the short holiday i took the week before, if not for that i think i would be in a much worse state than i am now. I have spoken to quite a few friends before that it is not in my nature to blog about how upset i am or hurt i am for i believe there will be consequences in such actions. As the saying goes 'What the eyes see the ears hear the mind believes' And the last thing we need is for people to believe in something they may have chosen to interpret wrongly. Nevertheless i felt myself in need of a distraction. So.... Off to Kbox I go! Met up with Peggy and Shaowei for Kbox at AMK yesterday and had a blast of a time la... Managed to sing quite a number of songs that i havent sang in a long time already... Haha Rock On.....

Gu Lang Yu (Something like our Sentosa)

Dad and Uncle Peter buying Shark Fishballs

Fried oysters!!

Traditional Hokkien Food!

Back!

Finally came back from my holiday! It was really an experience to remember, i mean the trip was not all peaches and cream of course but it was really interesting and a blessing to be able to have this opportunity to make this trip. Took tons of pictures while i was away so i think it will really take a few posts before i am able to get everthing up. So here we go Part One!

My Prince Caspian Tix! Cool!

At The Mountain on the way down....

My Frog meat dish during dinner today

Off to China!

Yup! U guessed it! Took a week off from work so that i can go for my long awaited Holiday in China. Really cool to be finally able to travel for leisure completely after a long while. A Big Thanks to all my friends who smsed/called me to give me their well wishes and bon voyages.. really appreciate it! Have already started taking some pics and will try to blog bit by bit. I just remembered i have Gala premier tickets for Prince Caspian on Monday! Goin with charlene and i really can't wait! =)

Nickelback- Fight For All The Wrong Reasons

It is rather unlike me to post youtube videos/music on my blog but hey theres a first for everything! Was listening to my Nickelback album and i came across this song. Absolutely love it! Meaningful lyrics too! something to ponder about. =)

After too much dancing...

The Girls...

May Day!

Worked Late in the office yesterday, was supposed to meet up ith Jay and Lynn to go to zouk after that, but we underestimated the pre public holiday Mambo crowd! haha... the placed was realy swarmed with people as though there was a rock concert going on! Ended up going to Smoove at MOS instead. Managed to get ourselves a table on the corner away from the crowdand spent the evening drinking and dancing away! On a separate note Liverpool got knocked out from the Champions League... sianz man... But shan't rant too much about it, have more or less come to terms that in the football world anything can happen! Hehe.. Till then!

a Picture on 'The Dark Knight Viral Site.. Creepishly Cool...

Sushi + Kbox = Sushibox!

Oh well... that was a lame attempt at creating a funny header for my blog entry. Haha... Met up with the Gang to have dinner and some entertainment again. Grace & Shiqin needed to buy some stuffs for their Bali trip as well. Had Dinner at Sakae Sushi! It is actually the first time we ordered as if there was no tommorow! Managed to finish the food somehow before heading to Kbox for a singing session that had been postponed for a long time. Finally got my Kbox card too! Coolness.

On a Side Note, 'The Dark Knights' new trailer will be out in 1 more day. Clues were actually at one of the promotional viral site. Viral marketing.... the new trend.. wicked.

Becky, Javern, Me & and a whole lot of food!

Short post!

Met up with Javern and Becky for dinner and drinks today! Firstly it was Korean food at a food court located in the food court below Le Meridien Hotel. Have to really say that the food is rather good at a afforable price! Another place to consider for the satisfying of korean food cravings. Headed to Harrys to catch the early match between Man U and Chelsea after that. =)

Nice Centrepiece!

Jackies new look... lol

Iris and Lynndyn

42 Below at Zouk

Head down to Zouk after work yesterday for a 42 Below event. Managed to get there rather early (too early in fact) as my office was just around the corner. Was initially intending to stay for a short while but it was much more interesting than i expected! Ended up staying till late.. haha.. It was good to see some familiar faces and to catch up with them. Anyway Thanks for the invite guys! Recieved a call from a friend this morning as well who is in a lot of pain right now, Cheer up k? Things will get better soon =)

A day of worry....

Went for Bernies Little Black Book event at the majestic bar initially. It was a nice place with good music and ambience, good to see some familiar faces as well. Recieved a phoneall from my dad shortly after my second drink, aparently my auntie went into a coma in the after noon suddenly and was sent to ICU for observation. Rushed there immediately to provide some emotional support to my auntie as well as her family members. I really admired my cousin (whos in Sec 2) for her courage and faith. While most people will be expecting her to be really upset and depressed about the situation her mum was in, she instead handled the situation calmly. It made me think about the times i was upset of small matters in life, surely it was not as bad as this? I hope everything will be fine, Will be praying for the safety and well being of my auntie.

A day of Suprises and learning...

Attended a course on sales negotiation as well as resolving resistance in clients. It was really interesting to be able to explore alternative methods when dealing with difficult clients. Lunch was a really interesting affair coz firstly not only was the food awesome, i actually bumped into Mr Koh, my primary school teacher! Well... Mr Koh was really a legend to most of us k... cos not only was he a teacher who taught the usual academic subjects, he counselled us a lot in our younger days as well. I joined him at his table and we had a long chat over lunch. He taught me something new today, He said:

'Herbert, If you care and love the people around you, it doesn't matter do they care the same way for you in return at all. In any dispute it doesn't matter if others forgive you because most importantly you must forgive them.'

It was really nice to hear from Mr Koh again lah... also if i may add, the chicken rice in M hotel can only be descibed as Damn nice!!! Must go try!!! Till then!

Warriors Orochi for PSP

Yehyeh... I know that that this game is probably out for quite some time already and i am probably one of the few 'Suakus' left in this world to have just discovered it. Read some of the reviews on Gamespot with regards to this game, not very encouraging reviews if i may add. But personally, i had been looking forward to a crossover of Dynasty & Samurai warriors for quite some time. Sometimes finding the resemblence is some of the characters rather interesting. (i.e Uesugi Kenshin & Xu Huang, Oda Nobunaga & Cao Cao, Yukimura Sanada and Zhao Yun) Just started playing it recently and for a Hack & Slash game, I find myself occupied for hours with it!

With Samantha...

The Married Men...

Baby and her Vdae Prezzies!!

A Stress filled week!!!

It was a week filled with events, some of which corporate related while others on a personal basis. All were bags of fun tho! Dropped by the Marriott on two separate occasions. First at the poolside for a 42 Belo party (Nice to see everyone again!). The next at B:ONE for a 91.3 singles party... (yes... i was a fraud). Managed to celebrate V-day with baby over the weekend and it was really nice... Caughta couple of movies too!

Dior, Baby & Kenneth

Everyone loves Guitar Hero!

Thank you!

Had my CNY house party yesterday! Turnout was worse than i expected due to all the last minute cancellations and all but i would like to take this opportunity to thank all those that made special effort to come yesterday. Really appreciate it! Had loadsa leftover fod though.... sigh...

With Elliott and Jie at Dragonfly

My New Aquisitions!!!

A Series of wierd Events....

Started off with a rather eventful yet confusing week... basically i took part in a contest a few months ago and found out that i won an I-Touch as well as a bottle of Martell! However, i lost my phone is the evening.... dammit... Managed to get myself a new phone the very next day the Samsung D880. Can hold 2 Sim cards at once! Cool! Ended the week by going to Dragonfly with Jie and Elliott... hahaha havent been there in a while...

Jay Performing the Cowboy song....

Charlene doing her Sweeny Todd Impersonation!

Jay Chow's in Town!

Went for Jay Chows Concert yesterday and it was sweet! damn happy to be able to get the tix for the concert. Apparently they were sold out the very next day after i bought them. Can't wait for his next concert in Singapore man. Was rather upset that i didn't manage to buy any merchandise though... haizzz.... Met up with Elliott and Charlene to watch the movie 'The Flock' today. It wwas filled with suspense and best of all it was produced and directed by Andrew Lau of Infernal Affairs fame. Starring Richard Gere and Claire Danes, it is a movie not to be missed!

With Kenneth & Charlene

The Ghostbusters!

Movie Marathon 2

Concluded our First Movie Marathon last week with the Back to the Future trilogy! Kicked off with another movie marathon this weekend with the Ghostbusters 1 & 2. Had a blast of a time with the gang! There was Food, Drinks, Booze (courtesy of charlene) and Entertainment! Hahaha... Fun la!
