Expensive Week & New Section
after the 9th, i felt very empowered by my bank account and to quote a line from spiderman "With great power, comes great responsibility". apparently, this applies to financial power as well and it's pretty obvious that i had failed to exercise responsibility by spending more than half a grand in a week.
sometimes i think that computer fairs are run by the devil and in my case, it's the PC Show. i bought a printer, razer mouse pad and a apple wireless keyboard. and if that's not enough, i bought a second hand lens (24 - 70mm, f2.8) for my camera which put me off around $300.
it's quite a bit, now that i look at my bank balance. time to practice restrain. hah.
anyway, there's a new photos section up on the blog, it's above the chatterbox and clicking it will open up a new window. more photos will be added soon, so stay tune!

The Happening..
.. is totally not happening. infact, i think M. Night Shyamalan just successfully ruined Mark Wahlberg's career with this movie. there are no saving graces in the show at all, and i really do mean AT ALL.
stay away from this film at all cost.. don't say i didn't warn you.. hah.

V For..
two things.. vietnam and vices. that's what we did over the weekend. it was a weekend of vices in vietnam. gambling, drinking, smoking, clubbing, eating and clubbing (ok, maybe the last 2 aren't vices). that was officially my craziest weekend overseas. to top it all of, tim's dad was extremely generous and took real good care of us. you might ask how? read on...
took an insanely early flight at 7.30am, which meant that all of us slept over at gabriel's place and reached the airport at 5.30am to check. when we reached Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), the first thing we saw was tim's dad and 2 drivers waiting for us. on the trip into the city center, tim's dad told us that the 2 drivers were for us and we could get them to bring us all over the city. i was damn shocked by that and i had a feeling that this trip was going to be smashing.
had pho (read: fer) for breakfast and just when we thought breakfast was good, we had no idea that it was just the start of a trail of good food coming our way. we went to a place called Nam Bo for lunch and we were treated with exotic food... less talk, more pictures..

what made it even better was that, for the whole meal, no soft drink or water was consumed. all we drank was beer, beer and more beer!! talk about a good life! beer, good food and free smokes. did i mention that tim's dad arranged us in a 5-star hotel for free and brought us into the hotel's casino where we could get free beer and smokes. haha!
went over to the famous notra dame cathedral and post office after that. i must say that it's quite a sight.

after that was dinner at another hotel for a decent with an obscene spread, which we almost died eating from because the food was so good. after dark activities involved club hopping over 3 clubs, lots of drinks, lots of smokes and very little sleep.
and speaking of which i'll stop at day 1 for the time being, because im still recovering from a lack of sleep since i came back. work's a bitch, will update again!

Weekend
had a very fun and interesting weekend, so much that im still pretty exhausted from it even though it's been 2 days already.
was in sentosa on saturday with DK for an Ultimate beach tournament and we sent 4 teams - Dong, Nan, Xi and Bei, in conjunction with the mahjong craze that's been going around in the team. it was a pretty good competition and im quite sure all of us had fun. more importantly, i was able to bring my new toy out to take my first few shots of ultimate. i wish a had a more powerful set of zoom lens. damn.
here are some shots that i took, click to see the whole album.

after a tiring saturday, raynor asked us out on sunday for LAN and then karaoke. the thing was that we were only going to start playing LAN from late afternoon. i was still wondering what time we were going to have the karaoke session and when he told me that he wanted to sing the whole way till morning, i almost flipped. it meant that we have to sing all the way till morning and then head back to camp for work on monday. the rest of the guys agreed and we went on with raynor's plan, since it was his birthday on monday (which he thought that we didn't know).
we actually planned a surprise for raynor on monday when we got back to camp so we didn't want to blow our covers by wishing him happy birthday when it was 12am. we were trying so hard to act like we didn't know. and on monday when we went back to camp, before we could get the cake to surprise him, our boss came over to our office and said happy birthday to him infront of us.... so much for trying so hard to not let raynor know that we knew it was his birthday. and yes raynor, that's what we were planning to do. blame it on M'am Tin. haha
and i think i still need more sleep to recover from the lack of sleep on sunday night...... yawn...

life can seem so different when you think about it in different ways. this is a safe haven for my rants and raves about everything that is happening in my life.
this a reflection of my ego, no matter how big, small or even insignificant it might be. you were asking me what egomy stands for?
