Old-School Hangout.

On Friday night, we had an "old-school" hangout at Bugis Parco. Erm, its not the school outing, just the three of us (the infamous PMS males), doing some "old-school" stuffs. It had been a very long time since I visited the arcade. The old machines are still there, but there are also plenty of new additions. Those super big screen, first person shooting games are awesome. Each game cost one dollar. So I only watched, as usual, like the old times. ha ha. In the end we did play one game, yeah the daytona! Apparently it was too old/slow for teenagers these days, so there were plenty of seats for us. Daytona brings back fond memories. It was like one of the only two, three games I played in arcade. Then we found these machines where you put coins in and turn a knob and you'll get this lil' egg shaped containers with a toy in them. Yah yah yah, that one lorh...! heh heh. I know you also tried before right? Anyway, I wanted to get the One piece's Sanji for my girlfriend. So I tried my luck, despite the fact that each toy was 3 dollars. I didn't get Sanji, I got the hidden character (not sure of his name), maybe it was rare. So I tried again, it was the hidden character again! So rare huh? I must be super lucky eh. Then Justus tried. Hidden character again! Wah seh, just nice, 9 bucks for 3 hidden characters in a row. Each for one of us. Duh. It had just become the new initiation ritual to join our clique. By the way, there were seven possible characters as you can see below.

We couldn't believe our luck, so we tried again. This time we weren't that lucky anymore. Justus got Luffy. For me, still no Sanji, but better than nothing! Now my girlfriend is now a proud owner of a Nico Robin ornament below!

For old time sake, we also went for a drink at the bubble-tea shop. Yeah, the authentic bubble tea served in a glass cup, not those packet ones in the neighbourhood shops. I am sure most of you had alot of nice times at those bubble tea shops too right? hee hee.

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...

Just In Time, For Bertrand's Big Day!

Twelve months ago, our baby boy came into this world. It was the beginning of our new journey. The delivery suite was cold. I held the camera tightly, waiting for the moment. The gynecologist came in and told me to put it away. "No time for this." My job was to urge my wife to push hard. "One and two and three..." And then, came his first cry. "Where's my camera? Where's my camera?" I scrambled for it. First was the cutting of umbilical cord, then the body check, the weighing scale, and Bertrand was in Mummy's arms for the first time. Before I knew, it had begun - my journey as a father and Bertrand's dedicated photographer. From the start, Bertrand is a natural when it comes to posing for the camera. He would look at the camera. The boy is cheerful. It was easy to capture him smiling. Not wanting to miss out any of it, I had the camera by my side, day and night. The first time he smiled, mumbled, laughed out loud, flipped over, crawle...
