One Night Stand...
However, I made a promise to my friend in the morning that I wouldn't be pissed at anyone and that I won't lose my cool even though I was wrongly prosecuted because it was his birthday, and I'm glad to say, the day has ended and I'm still as cool as the amount of ice cream I had just now. Anyway, after work, the "pizza hut gang" went to celebrate our friend's birthday, and I tell you it was a fiesta never to be missed. There was so much food, everybody felt like their stomach was going to explode, and we ate so much ice cream, the sugar was getting to our heads like as if we were drunk. We laughed so hard, it made it even harder to keep all the food in our tummies. And, the jokes, was glorious. I think the most memorable one would be the F1-engine powered, escalator. HAHA. Plus the F1-engine powered sushi converyor belt. Power!! And who could forget the new saying, "When it comes to love, age doesn't matter but when it comes to sex...it does"...heh heh heh heh
Anyway, I called this entry one night stand because to me it really felt like it was one. We had problems in the office and my peers may get fucked even though they didn't do anything wrong. But for one night, we laugh, we sing song, play mahjong and the rest didnt matter. It didn't matter that the next day that we were going to have to face reality and fight for our survival of our internships. It didn't matter that I have ruin my future and the future of other interns. It didn't matter that people at the office were fucking everybody in the ass just so they won't die alone. It didn't matter...
What matters to me, anyways, was that for once I really get to keep my promise and made my friends laugh and smile their heart out. Now, we are just waiting for the next birthday bash. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
(Note: If I use vulgarity, means the situation is really, really very bad. Basically, I'm fucked...)
For someone and i think you know who you are:
I've said what I needed to say,
Your actions is all that I'm waiting for.

Gajah Makan: Red Beer...
Red Beer Ratios:
Straight up (Personal Favourite): 1 can of red bull : 1 can of root beer(not just any root beer, the old root beers which still have the caffeine in them so as it will give you the kick after mixing it with the red bull's caffeine)
Weak: 1 can of red bull : 1 can of non-caffinenated root beer (MUG's will do) plus 1/2 a can of soda water or to taste
Super Rocker (This is for a real hell of a week): 2 cans of red bull : 1 can of caffinenated root beer (WARNING: Major stoneage or headache may occur.)
So, there you got it a great drink for a horrible day....
Hahaha...I went shopping for... RED BULL!!
Check out my new mug too.
Oh, and as I was on my way home with so many cans of red bull, an old man who was beside me offered to carry my drinks for me, but in return I have to invite him to the party I'm going to. Hahaha...siao ah pek. But he was right about one thing though. I was going to a party. A party of...ONE! ME!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I'm planning to break my records. Here are my current ones:
Fastest time to finish one can of Red Bull: 3.2 secs
Most number of cans drank(before I stoned): 9 cans
Least number of gulps to finish one can: 5 gulps
Wish me luck, I'm going to attempt to break my records tonight. First I'm attempting to drink a total of 16 cans of red bull. It shouldn't be so hard, since my new mug can fit about 2 and a 1/2 cans of red bull in one shot. Oooohhhhhweeee....I'll try not to wake up tomorrow...haha

A hell of a week...
Now, the downs, hmm...I lost someone I love, I think I kind of ended my career before it got started, my reputation is now on the line, I think I'm going to fail my internship(only thise who knows the story knows why...), my phone batt died just as when my bro wanted to meet me last minute, I fell sick so bad I had to break fast early for three days, I have to register my medical for NS which I think I most probably will fail. Wow...really a hell of a week.
Oh well, I think I'm going to be fine. Just need red bull for energy to keep going and off I go. Well, when you hit rock bottom the only other way is to go up, right? Or can you stay at the bottom? Hmm...I guess time will tell. No worries, got my chin up and hoping next week will be better. Lots of birthday activities and presents to plan...phew. There goes my pocket again, and my mum always wonder why my money disappears so fast...haiz, if she only knew...HAHAHAHA!

Quote of the day...
On a different note, this for those who keep asking me how I am. Basically, I'm the same, can't sleep well. Maybe, one or two hours, max. So to enegise myself, I turn to my old friend and the friend of the Chinaman, "RED BULL!!". I think I just went through my 3rd can just writing this entry. I am sure to be stoned tomorrow. But I need the energy. I know "Red Bull" is not good for me especially in my condition, but what other choice do I have. Besides, what do doctors know and why should I listen to them. Doctors are ignorant and all they can think about is their paycheck. They promise you that they can cure your cancer but their so called,"treatment" only spreads the cancer. They promise not to amputate your leg, then they cut off you leg and watch you die. Fuckers...why the hell should I even listen to what they have to say. The only thing doctors are good for is to get MC so that you can skip school or work. Other than that, I rather take my chances and live the way I want to live, so even if I die at least I do so happy...ok, maybe not happy but at least I'll die young, and everybody knows that dying is just the easy way out to live, and I do like taking the easy the way out. Hahaha. Ok, I think I need another drink, but before I do, I just want to apologise to those who call and sms me with no reply from me, it's either I'm just stoned or my head hurts too much...hahaha...

Who The Hell Is This Kid??...
So just surfing youtube and I came across this small korean boy, Sungha Jung. This kid just blew me away. I mean, this kid got mad skills, yo. Damn, he just makes me so jealous because I know I am never going to be able to play the guitar as close to him, but he is a real treat to watch, I just admire his technique. I only wish he would smile more because he don't look like he is enjoying playing, maybe if he wrote his own tune then maybe a smile will come on his face. But, he is seriously amazing and I encourage all to check out his videos, he has a few. Some of those, that I like are, Wake Me Up When September Ends, With Or Without You, More Than Words and California Dreaming. I don't really know much about him but after seeing what he can do, I don't think that really matters. Three cheers for you, kid...

Are You Stupid....
Ahh...Ok, well I was in the gym recently(about 8 hours ago), resting and waiting to do my second set of my exercise when I heard this game show on the radio. Apparently, if I'm not wrong, you have to answer three qns and depending on how many you get right, you win a prize or something. The questions are just simple questions that you learn in secondary school, easy right? Well, I guess some people just don't think before they call. It went something like this...(Note: Mind you I can't remember the exact words because my brain seriously had no oxygen...)
Radio DJ: So what subject do you want? English? Social Studies? Science? Maths? Or History?
Caller: Ahh...maths ah, maths...
Radio DJ: Ok, so here is your question. How many sides does a hexagon have?
Caller: Ahh...8 la...(confident answer)
Radio DJ: That's....WRONG!! Hey, hexagon got 6 la dey, 8 is called octagon.
Caller: Oh...(paiseh liao..:P)
Radio DJ: Ok, next subject?
Caller: Ahh...english la, english..
Radio DJ: Ok, here is your question. What is the past tense of Bleed?
Caller: Whoa..past tense of bleed ah...ah...bleed ah...ah..past tense ah? Hmm...(like 20 secs later when my exercised also going to complete then..) Oh...oh bled.
Radio DJ: Phew, That's correct. Ok now pick your final subject.
Caller: Ah...science la science...
Radio DJ: Ok, here is your question. Now, in the periodic table, which element, does the letter K stand for?
Caller: Ah...I think Sodium.
Radio DJ: WRONG!!! Hey, so now answer me this question, are you stupid?
Caller: Ah..don't know la.
Radio DJ: You better go school tomorrow...
After the DJ said that, I was laughing my ass off until I almost drop the weights on my foot. I don't know if that guy was trying to be funny or he was really trying, but the whole thing was just hilarious. My brother told me to give him a break because at least in the science part he said Sodium, at least its another REAL element. He said if the guy was really dumb he would probably say, K in the periodic table is for KAYU!!(wood in malay).
Well, again, I guess you have to be there to get it...

Gajah Makan: Office Makan...
Everyone's favourite place or the most common place to eat is the Golden Shoe Hawker Centre. There a wide range of food with cheaper prices and acceptable or "so-so" quality. However, some is food really stands out. The most common dish for the muslim interns are Nasi Briyani(sorry no pic..) and the different kinds of chicken rice. The Nasi Briyani from the Golden Nur stall that was previously featured in this blog for their Mee Goreng, have one of the best, if not the best Nasi Briyani in the CBD area. Although the curry given is too little to my liking, they make it up with the quality of the whole dish. The rice is very fragrant which can barely be said for some Briyani from other stalls, and to my surprise they served the rice with chicken that is fried and not of those being cooked with the rice. Given this unorthodox situation, I was expecting the chicken to be hard like most places I've eaten before but again to my surprise, I could cut the chicken with the plastic spoon that was given which was very flimsy in the first place. To be honest, I was really won over by the quality of the fried chicken, and it is no wonder some of my colleagues can eat the Nasi Briyani for almost 10 days in a row. Besides the Nasi Briyani, another mention would have to be the Chicken Rice. There is a stall that sells chicken rice of all sorts. From the regular to lemon chicken to Teriyaki and even Ayam Penyet, just don't ask the auntie why the chicken looks different from the picture unless you are prepared to get a earful. One unlucky(or in my friends terms "bad lucky") female customer learn it the hard way, and I was there just enjoying the show. Another best kept secret there, would have to be the "Mutton Steak Kuah", holding the price tag of $4 it is actually above most budgets but if you bring your own bread, it would make a fantastic meal. It is like the indians' version of a Lamb Stew but with and indian kick, and when I say kick I really mean after eating a few spoonfuls your tastebuds will really get a kick. I love spicy food and this mutton steak kuah was the exact dose of hotness I needed after enduring weeks of food that were catered to the masses(mainly ang mohs and cinas..no offense though)
Chicken Rice Merango - Basically chicken rice with a special sauce on it...
Chicken Rice Teriyaki - Basically chicken rice with teriyaki sauce...
Mutton Steak Kuah - Look at how red it is...sca-r-weee...
Chicken Fried Rice - Normal la...
Nasi Sambal Goreng - A malay classic. Can't believe I can find it in the middle of the Raffles MRT. :)
However, there are times when the people in the office just get sick of the food at the hawker centre and even willing to spend a little higher than usual so, with that we ordered... PIZZA HUT! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Since most of the interns were away on leave, 4 of us decided to use the opportunity to use the space we had to stay in the office and have food delivered to us instead of going out to buy our own food. So for the price of $15 per person, which is higher than our usual budget for a meal, but it was really worth it. 2 pizzas, honey wings, baked meatballs and baked pasta(just for me).
The pizzas were nothing extraodinary but it really hit the spot. The baked meatballs were slightly salty for my taste but my peeps found it to be fantastic, and for the honey wings, well, to me it tasted like it could use a longer marination...
Super Hawaiian Supreme Pizza - A classic favourite...YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY, I GOT PIZZA IN MY TUMMY!!
Baked pasta, Meatballs(chicken & beef) & Honey Wings - Great accompaniment for the pizza...
BBQ Chicken Supreme - BBQ sauce, tender chicken and pineapples...Great combination of sweet and tangy...
Now, good food is important, yes I can agree with that but for me...I need more, I need to satisfy not only my stomach but in addition to fulfil the craving of my sweet tooth, so I went scouting around the area and I tell you, I hit the motherloads of all jackpot. There was just so many sweets, that it Willy Wonka look bad. The best part they even have sweets for those who are watching their health...
Hmm...where to start, well, if cookies are you thing then there is no other then the famous, well, Famous Amos, freshly baked cookies, 8 different kinds to choose from and lovely muffins as well, and since we are on the topic on cookies, drop by Subway in the morning and you will get to smell the cookies coming out of the oven. If you crave something a little more round with a hole in the centre and you like Homer Simpson then Donut Empire would be your best stop. They have about 14 different types of donuts even one called the Simpson. If you prefer something more healthier and cooler, stop by YAMI yoghurts where they serve their fresh yoghurts with real fruits and if you like ice cream, why not try the soya ice cream from Mr.Bean, guarenteed to have that ice cream feel with that soya taste. While there why not try a office favourite the 3-in-1 rice ball. It is basically beacurd with peanut dumpling, very scrumptious. Still want more, why go down to POLAR to get a swiss roll or black forest cake or better yet sneak a peek at Royals and enjoy a Choclate banana cake or a mango delight. If you prefer pastry, why not get a mini sturdel at Renaldo's or why get a mini when you can get the whole strudel to share with the family. The place is packed with sweets its no wonder the people at the office are stressed. They want to try it all but they don't want to gain those extra pounds...:P
Chocolate Banana & Mango Delight from Royals - Delicious, and not to sweet too...
Donuts from Donut Empire and Chicken Pies from Royals - Don't the donuts look tantalising and the chicken pies coming in all sorts of flavours really lets you explore your tastebuds. The donut with the bee is very cute and a hit among the customers...
Food for us don't come when we are in the office, for some special occasion we cook the food ourselves. Ok, not all of us do the cooking but nonetheless the food was prepared as we joke around, played in the rain and pose for pictures. What am I talking about? Well, nothing except for the Intern's BBQ at Pasir Ris. Though it was pouring, somehow, we did not let the weather spoil the fun. We played games, joke and of course, eat to our hearts content, well the other interns did, I just took pictures of the food and them eating it...
We had satay, prawns, lamp chops, chicken chop, chicken wings, spagehtti, fried noodles, sting ray and more. To be honest the food was not that good, the only thing that a few of us manage to enjoy was this candy that looks like a hamburger but was actually a gummy candy but we still had fun...
Prawns, BBQ Stingray, Fried Noodles and Chicken Wing - Well, the prawns were slightly overcooked, the chilli of the stingray did not really compliment the taste of the stingray, the fried noodles were alright and the chicken wing, well based on my special guest, said it was just ok, nothing special but it was alright...
Spagehtti - Well the spagehtti was a surprise, I didn't really expect spagehtti to be at a BBQ but it was ok, straight out of the bottle... :P
With all said and done, I guess I love food but what I come to realise is I couldn't really enjoy tasting all these food by myself, well, actually I could but where's the fun in that? Basically, food always taste better when you have great company...
All the food featured here, were shared and enjoy with the people i work with. The donuts and cakes were all for someone else other than myself(I'm a good colleague, huh..:P).
Thanks for the company, great memories...
