dream a little dream... (of me?)

my laptop's on the verge of breaking down.. it keeps shutting down on me. i've typed this entry like twice already but haven't got the chance to post it before it auto shut down. argh too lazy to go into the details for a third time.. so i'll just keep it short.

- saturday

went east coast park to celebrate pei pei's birthday and do some roller blading. almost none of us knew how to blade so we ended we tripping over each other, falling into mini-drains and crashing into bushes. it was an utter humiliation... imagine a 5 year old kid whizzing past you. ugh... i fell twice. the second time was on a friend and he had to knee me in the chest while doing so. it still hurts now as t'm typing this.. so anyway after blading, we went to cafe vienna at novena to grab some dinner. international buffet at 40 bucks per head. my bank's gonna be wiped clean after this weekend. the food itself was ok.. not fantastic but not bad either. but not worth the 40 bucks.. definately. we went over to pei pei's place after dinner and played some dumb naming games because pock mun wanted to do it. started with naming soccer stars, then moved on to celebrities and finally childhood cartoons!

- sunday

the guys came over to my place for some fun in the sun. started with playing basketball.. pock mun was complaining non-stop throughout about how tired he was. singapore's just not producing proper soldiers these days. order some mcdelivery and we chilled in the pool while waiting for lunch. it's nice to finally do this with some friends.. more often than not, i'm always doing this alone.. chilling by the pool, listening to some good music, catching the sun, etc. they came up to my place after that and we spent the entire day playing the very retro romance of the three kingdoms 4: wall of fire! built our armies up for 5 hours only to kill ourselves by duelling with our kings. let's see.. cao cao got beaten by ma teng. yuan shao got executed by liu bei because of internal politics (hahaha...), liu bei, guan yu and zhang fei lost to ma chao and all three got executed. ma teng eventually lost to an injured sun ce in single mortal combat.. and got executed! yeap.. lots of heads were rolling that night.

- monday

so starts another working week. market's looking pretty good.. sti's gaining some points again. i'm hoping for a full-on recovery after the correction last month. so far my investments are all still in the green.. looking pretty good with some dividends heading my way soon (i hope). ascott is too expensive for me but it's one of the counters i'm hoping to be able to buy and hold soon. during the correction, it went down to about 1.45+. it was seriously undervalued then. then it recovered in the past few weeks to about 1.60+. and not forgetting their declaring dividends too. it's way out of my budget now.. what after all the money spent over the weekend. i went over to my grandad's place for dinner after work. guosh and cheam came over to my place later that night to chillax (chill + relax). cheam has this business idea which he thinks is gonna make him a bundle and he broke up with his girlfriend the previous night. so being the buddies the army taught us to be, we had to lend a listening ear and of course provide some manly cans of beers to ease that hurting heart. we stayed and chatted till about 2am and they left and i went up to catch some eye shut.

- tuesday

that's today.. my chest still hurts from the fall on sat so g-ku brought me to the polyclinic. we went to the office first and left at about 10+. had a consultation session at marine parade, then had to be referred to tampines for an x-ray scan, then head back to marine parade again for the review. after going all over sunny singapore on a sunny day, the doc told me i'm looking ok.. the pain is probably caused by the muscles which on injured during the fall. i'm feeling a little guilty right now about causing g-ku to spend so much time away from the office today.

all right i gotta run.. going to head for my haircut appointment with kandy right now. catch ya around!
