Balik Johor Lagi?






Hey... Just got back from Johor. Here are some snapshots we took. Anyways.. nothing special about this trip except we went to Carrefour to eat lunch and some shopping. Reached at Johor on Friday afternoon.. and rested for the day. Next day.. went to Carrefour but got a cold so I sneezed continuously like throughout :( Was confusing on the way to Carrefour cause my dad can't find the way. Eventually, did. Ate Nasi Goreng Kampong for lunch.. SUPER spicy cannot tahan. Drank two cups of cold water to overcome the spiciness. But in the end also never finish the food XD. And that's it for the day. Next day morning (which is today..), head back to Singapore..

First movie... As a whole family..

If I can recall, I think this is the first movie I ever watched as a family.. Cause usually, my dad likes to stay home and always reluctant to go out shopping or anything "time-wasting". OK.. so the movie started at 10.30 so... we leave house like 9.30. Intially we wanted to take the MRT but then my dad say going to rain (eventually never rain) so we took his car..

The movie is at Causeway Point at Woodlands.. and when we reach there, there was like only a few people there eating at the Banquet.. waiting for the movie I think.. Ate some prata there first then like 10.25 we went in the cinema.. My bro got difficulty picking the movie to watch so I told him if he watched "I Am Legend", Im not going to the movie.. :D In the end, we watched "National Treasure".. Great movie.. the storyline similiar to the previous movie.. Then we ate at Pizza Hut then went to my grandmum's house to pick up something then went home..

Wrap-Up For Today

Ok, I gotta admit today wasn't that boring as I've expected XD. Morning, my mum, bro and obviously me go my brothers sec school: Kranji Sec. We've got quite a late start cause we left home late. So.. after eating breakfast at MacDonalds, my mum took a taxi instead of a bus to the school.

The school was beautiful but smaller than SJI :D.. Then at the gate while entering the school, we saw our neighbour Mr Zainal Abidin (his name like mine).. Apparently he's the school guard of Kranji.. Didn't expect that to happen..

Then, we go to the hall for Sec 1 briefing.. I played some Pro Evo (soccer game) on my PSP cause it's quite boring.. Then in the mid of the talk, I've got stomach ache .. so sad :(.. Anyways after that, we go to a Sec 3 classroom for some class briefing or something.. And that's quite it for my bro first day in his sec school XD.. (Still appealing for SJI)


After that, we took Bus 302 to Lot 1 cause my bro want to buy Xbox 360. Bout myself a FIFA 08 game and a wireless controller. Then we went home cause need to get ready for Friday Prayers.. After which, we played only an hour (cause my mum only let us play an hour each) then that's much it for the day...

Hari Raya Celebration

Yeah.. today's Hari Raya Haji or Eidiladha (dno how to spell).. :D Went to the mosque in the morning for prayers.. It was so empty there though it was like 7.15am Prayer start at 8am but like only 30 people was there. When its 7.40 then people starting coming.. (We should have come later ;D) The "Khutbah" was inspiring to me cause brought me closer to Islam.. After prayer it's beginning to rain when I saw Ibrahim there... The Sec 4 Bandsmen (Drummer) It was quite surprising not expecting him there.. But we didn't talk. (Dno why)

My dad say if he lives near there (Southern Singapore near Sentosa), he might know Ibrahim's dad.. :D Cause my dad used to live there and he knows a lot of people there.. Then we go home.. Now like 3 hours later, there's a family gathering at my house.. Cant wait for it XD .. Catch ya soon

Yeah 1st Pawn In DOTA...

OMG I can't believe, my first pawn in DOTA.. My third band outing and game of DOTA.. I finally killed someone :D.. All thanks to Lo Qilin. DOTA is World Of Warcraft Frozen Throne (I think.. Not so sure).. and its like so complicated to play for me..

Actually it was a section outing but the euphonium section joined us cause we want to compete each other. Sax and Eupho are rivals I think in DOTA XD. Went to Paradiz Centre to play.. which was my 2nd time there. Played Counter Strike first.. Sax vs Eupho, we lost :( Then like 3pm, we play DOTA. First match I picked "Lich".. got like 10 deaths 0 kills.. :( Second match, I picked "Tiny" the small stone creature.. and in the Sentinel

How I pawned Qilin was .. cause he was being attacked by The Sentinel. I was like walking back to my base, when I passed him.. Used my avalanche on him when his health was so little, then I Pawned him!! :D Feel so good cause its my first pawn. XD

Pergi Balik Johor...




Just got back from my 2 day trip at Malaysia.. Didn't expect anything amazing or anything cause Im used to go to Johor and come back the next day. Reached Taman Perling, Johor about 5am.. and ate a super early breakfast at a halal Indian shop. (used to it, every time we go to Johor) Got myself some prata and we head to our house. Whole house was dusty as usual cause we've not been there for a month I think...

My mum cleaned up a little but was still dusty :D.. Did some of my school homework in the morning.. then we went to Perling Mall for lunch and some shopping. Bro bought himself a DVD.. I didn't get anything cause I've got stomache after eating lunch there :( My mum bought some hot fried banana (pisang goreng).. then we head home. Stayed at home throughout the whole day cause its raining.

At night watched some Asian Idol then I dozed off.. Next day, woke up at 6am.. washed up, then we head back to Singapore..The Malaysian trip was fun but its like the usual compared to the other trips.. I really hope my next trip would be a fun and surprising one :D

Recording Over.. Whew!!

The band recording was two longs day but only 5 songs were recorded. -.- So frustrating cause have to repeat and repeat over and over again because somebody will either mis pitch their instrument or wrong note.. I always play wrong notes on 125th Anniversary Song.. but it's not that obvious.. cause you cant hear Saxophones very well..

Luckily there's free lunch or else very 'sian' cause the whole day is recording. But frankly it's quite slack cause there's many '10' or '5' min break. Actually the '5' or '10' always become 15 or 20 mins..
So it wasn't that tiring.. Now the weekdays are over..

Going Johor Bahru tomorrow at 4am cause my dad wanna skip the jam.. I'm staying at my house there and coming back on Sunday. Yay an overnight there :D Haven't do all my homeworks yet.. Ahh!!! Need to do as soon as possible :S

PowerFootball - Soccer Game



Due to my boredness surfing Internet for no reason.. I decided to go Miniclip, play some games. Found this cool game.. if you are into football. Quite fun to play cause you can fight peer to peer to another opponent from anywhere in the world. You can enter tournaments and fight friendlies also. After leveling up, you can get some extra features. Obviously you get more if you join the Member Club.. but need to pay :( It's very fun to play especially if you're bored. But the graphics aren't that good. Recommend you to try.

P.S: Click on the card to flip the card back so you can see the back of the card XD

Shopping At Suntec City

Wah... shopping at Suntec is so confusing and tiring. The place is so big that we get lost often. For the 5 hours or so there, we walked most of the time.. But strangely my legs neve ache unlike on the bus last Thursday.. Yay good for me

We went to Suntec actually cause my mum want to buy year-end presents for her colleagues. I followed cause wanted to buy for me school bag and shoes. At the end, got myself a Nike bag and two pairs of Converse shoes.. Wah the shoes are so expensive that only bought 2.. or else we've bought 3 :)

My mum got her workers some bed sheets and pillow casing, I think.. She bought so many that it took the gift wrapper or whatever you called it 1 hour to wrap finish the gifts. While she go shop for her colleagues' gifts, my bro went to Carrefour, watch the Halo 3 Xbox Live Demo or something like that. I couldn't be bothered.. followed my mum.

Bro bought the same bag as me but from different shop.. don't know why. Got ourselves some Fried Rice for dinner and head home. When we reach home, I had to pay back my mum $36 for the Nike Bag. She payed $40 for it and I contributed $36 cause she say any bag over $40 too expensive..

Massive Jam On PIE (Pan Island Expressway)

I was on my way to school cause I have sectionals with my Saxophone section that 'suppose' to start at 9.30. Woke up, cleaned up.. and ready to go. I left at 8.45 thinking there was enough time to reach there. Took my favourite bus, 190 and when it reached on the BKE (Bukit Timah Expressway), a jam awaited us...

The jam which was on the PIE had spread so... long until the BKE which is one of the exits of PIE. Just as the bus got on the BKE, a few miles after that.. was a long 1 hour jam. Cause I was standing since I board the bus.. my leg began to ache. Workers on the bus were obviously late for work.. cause I saw a few calling to say they'll be late..

At the end.. the jam was caused by an accident near the PIE Exit, "Stevens Road and Whitley Road".. which was the exit to my school. It appeared to be a fatal accident involving a motorbike.
2 police cars and a police bike were there and blocked 2 of the 4 lanes of the PIE. Cause it was peak hour.. there many vehicles on the road.. Can you imagine 2 lanes were blocked just cause of a motorbike accident?? Compare the size of the small bike and 2 huge lanes.. (Talking crap)

Anyway.. I was like an hour late because of the jam.. An accident like that made a jam so huge that I think 1/6 of the country are affected especially cause its peak period furthermore it's raining so heavily. So next time you drive... be careful XD cause an accident may just be waiting for you. Hehe :)
