Random thoughts ok?

There was this huge fire at work today. In the space of 10 minutes, a totally new bus was lost forever, because of a spark that caught onto a seat. And while all this was happening, yours throughly was in the toilet, having a crap.

Yesterday night, there was a series of accidents on the PIE, on both sides, happening simultaneously. I could only see 2 of it. From my ‘experience’, I think that there was a high speed collision on the 1st lane going towards Jurong, and that in turn shocked a trailer on the opposite end, who collided against a car (I think) and skidded all the way to the road shoulder, and the last, a Comfort taxi which suddenly jammed brake because of the commotion, causing a car behind to ram into it, causing some serious damage! All in all, 4 traffic police cars and 2 ambulances, not a minor accident ok?

This China fella standing in the middle of the road on AYE on yesterday afternoon, while everyone was doing 90km/hr, really brought goosebumps to me. Reminded me of that stupid accident, which I am most probably going to lose, unless a miracle happens.

There was an ah-beng today that diaoed me at work today while queing up for food. And the best part was that, I didn’t do anything wrong, rather, he cut my queue, and sat on my seat. PCB.

Fugly Singaporeans

Woke up early this morning for a nice morning jog at MacRitchie Reservoir. All was fine with it. Walked past the car park where due to the lack of car park lots, people took to parking their cars along the double yellow lines.
Kena!
Traffic policeman TP42H was there, issuing summons to all of them. How’s that for a nice Good Friday bonus treat.
So, anyways, as I went further up where the traffic policeman was not seen, I spotted this fella trying to park onto one of the double lined lots. As he was pulling in, I signalled him, and let him know that he had better not park there, and he responded kindly, by saying thanks. *ding!* The fella is a Caucasian.
Right behind, this other car started honking us. I turned to glare, thinking in my mind that for fuck’s sake, it’s only a 10 sec conversation, not as though you’re going to lose $1m or something.
The fellas in the car drove past us and gave us a hand gesture…. how kind of them. Hate this kind of ugly Singaporeans. (reason for the ‘nua’ post is because I just went for jogging / swimming / gym in the first half.
Ate chicken rice and chicken macaroni, then realised that I am supposed to be on abstinence today, for today is Good Friday.
Out.

Movies/Dramas watched over the previous week

Caught this movie Saw 2 on DVD on Saturday. Power movie, as was the first one. The plot really thickened to a point where I had no idea that there was someone else to take over Jigsaw. And for the rest of you Saw 2 junkies, Saw 3 is due to be out this year!

This drama that Glenn Hoei came up with was the riot of the year for me (other than Army Daze) It was lewd and funny, and I really recommend those with the taste for drama to go see it.

Lamenting Alex

Sigh, so many worries, problems. So many things that I wanted to blog out, so that I can read in the near future of the things that had me worried then, and how I managed to overcome them. But, so far, I’ve forgotten to blog quite a few of them.
Anyways…. main highlights.
- Dear’s Granddad passed away on Friday
- Thinking about changing my blog layout to suit my mood (black-ish)
- Assignment got wiped out by viruses, causing me to reformat my pc
- Realised that my motor insurance company doesn’t want me anymore
- NTUC is charging me $1360 for my motor insurance cos of my accident (fucked!)
- Re-did my 2 week assignment in a few hours
- Managed to do quite well for my assignment (Thank God for that)
- Fixed up my bike on Friday (changed engine oil, rear brake plate, loosened clutch)
- Happy that my bike feels brand new now (No, serious!)
- Unhappy that my new colleague is a slacking 40 year old
- Happy to realise that my new colleague is intent on resigning due to low pay
- Unhappy that my new colleague did not try to push himself a little
- Unhappy that one particular manager in the Company is aiming me
- Hate it when that manager critisizes me in front of everyone (For fuck’s sake, I’m new lah!)
- Basketball last Saturday was one of the best so far
- There’s housewarming later on in the night at good friend Janson’s house
- There’s a basketball session at CCC later on in the afternoon (hope it’s as good as last week)
- Watched ‘Magic Fundoshi’ at The new National Library
- Saw a former classmate from my private school (hottie) which I managed to forget (name)
- Will be jogging tomorrow (Sunday) at MacRitchie Reservoir in the morning
- Buying stationary tomorrow (Sunday) at this warehouse
Ok, I think that should be it for the moment. Gotta fetch my girl at Taman Jurong, then go home, pack up, and head over to CCC. After which, gotta go for the wake, then hit Janson’s house. Gotta call Janson to ask if his family is pantang (superstitious) which I don’t really think so.
So.. big SIGH from me, signing off.
