Had another enjoyable weekend last week.
Allow me to share it with you!
* * * * *
Thursday
Got off to a bad start, had diarrhea... MCed. Not much thing to talk about. Fiddled around with the phone again. Slept around 3+
Friday
Woke up at ard 5am to meet pegs to go for some exercise as well as exploration of the relatively new bridge linking Mt Faber, Telok Balanga Hill, Hort Park and Kent Ridge Park as i was on leave today.
Mt Faber side of the bridge @ 6am
Hort Park. New place to chill? Free entry for bikes!
Nice view
Hort park is a garden with a two storey building as its centre piece.
Relac only...

Aha!
More of the cute stuff =P
I WANT A DSLR!
Poster Bike. NParks dun summon me pls.
Haven't had the chance to walk to Kent Ridge park yet, perhaps one fine day i will try to walk the whole damn thing again. It's a nice place to go actually, good view and the pathways are easy to walk. Pegs asked a strange question while walking back. Still quite perturbed about why she would suddenly ask this kind of question. Was it something i did? Nah, lets not think too much. =) It was pretty much my forte until these few years which i learnt that its better to relax, go with the flow, and let things fall into place. What will happen will happen, we cannot change the end product, so its up to us if we want to enjoy our lives or just fret about whats gonna happen next. So, lets juz chill boys and girls!
Anyway, went home to slack and nap for awhile before going to Ngee Ann Poly to submit my certifications for the diploma i'm taking. Took awhile to find NP as i forgot where it was, confused it for SP. When i finally did reach NP, i was smiling to myself. Dunno why, but it felt good to be in a younger crowd again. Hope my potiencial classmates are the younger generation too - prays damn hard - although its highly unlikely (as its a part-time dip).
Went home after that and napped until 8pm where i then went to Bukit Indah (Malaysia) with Marcus and Co for a delicious dinner. The Kong Bah was damn good - sorry but in the face of damn good food, the diet has to take a step back. There goes the effects of the morning exercise. - Ben and me ordered seconds. Old man and me didn't dare to take the really fatty skin and the thick layer of fats underneath it though, we just lusted after the sweet, juicy, lean meat under all the fats.
Went full trottle going back, was really disappointed with the original pipe, top speed dropped to ard 260+, must either change pipe or the bike soon. R1 2009 next year perhaps? Went to yishun dam after coming back to SG. After relaxing for a couple of hours there we moved to Jalan Kayu for a drink. Kopi-ed there till 4+ before we all went home
Saturday
Woke up early (9+am) to meet Vince at Red Dynasty to check out some paintball stuff. Big Ben and Jane were not around due to being in Taiwan for a paintball competition. There were loads of people there and i realised that it was the paintball event that SISEU (Singapore Industrial & Services Employee Union) organised. We checked out some of the games played and was about to leave to have breakfast when we met Dixion and co (union members from my company).
I was surprised that my company had anyone in the competition but they looked quite happy to see me. They asked me why i was there which i promptly replied that i was a regular there. It was then i learnt why they were happy to see me. It seems that they were short of a player as their original member had something on and that they could not find a replacement in time. Me, being a member of the union and a paintball player meant that i was pretty much the perfect candidate for a replacement player.
I was quite reluctant to play as i did not have any barang barang with me - my personal mask, soccer boots and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) - i was in only berms, crocs and my favorite black gixxer polo tee. In the end i agreed as i was itching to play and moreover it was free as they have already paid the participation fee.
Each team had to play two games in the same field (we got field 1) and those teams which had teams winning both their games would proceed to the semis. My team won the first round and lost the second. I was feeling quite fustrated at losing the second round as i managed to take out almost the entire opposition single handedly but one cheater (i will name him as Cheater and the rest of his team by numbers - no.2 onwards) who got about 4-5 shots from me, won the game for them.
The situation goes like this. My team was on the side of the field where the entrance is. I moved to forward left bunker after the "game on" signal, 1st shot headshot cheater (he did not call himself out but ducked back to cover), moved on to No.2 beside him, shot him out. Moved back to Cheater, shot him again once on the head and once on the chest (he ducked back into cover again without calling himself out), moved on to No.3 and No.4 in the forward centre and forward right bunker, took them out and moved back to Cheater. Got him on the head once and i was calling for the ref to check him when i got shot myself. I promptly called myself out and headed back to home base. This is when Cheater came out and took the flag back to his own base and won the game. Didn't know why the ref did not catch it since he was quite near. I wudda contested the game result if i had known that it was Cheater who won the game for them as i was running back to home base. I only found out later that it was Cheater who got the flag from Vince who was watching the game from outside the field. Game results cannot be contested once the captain has verified the result - according to what i have learned at BTO.
Anyway, although i was sore from losing to a inferior team due to a lack of sportmanship - or should i say "HONESTY" on the part of just one player, it was fun and i enjoyed two free games of paintball and i'ma happy boy.
Wud juz like to tell "Cheater", who was sporting a ponytail, wearing a blue MAE t-shirt and specs with progressive lens from Team "ST Aviation 2", I hope u aren't as "HONEST" as u are in your game as in you are in your work, its ok to be dishonest during the game but if u are dishonest in our line of work u will be putting alot of ppl at risk.
Okok back to the topic instead of the sore loser rumblings,
Went home to wash up and collect the drinks from Kai before going home. Went home to drop off the drinks and left for Bear's house immediately as i was due to leave my wave at his place for some "bike improvements". We then went for inspection of our cubs with bear's dad @ Viacom - Changi. After leaving the wave at Bear's place, he gave me a lift home and i met up with the godbro and cavin at ard 4pm.
The night was passed with dinner at Bugis Junction Sakae Sushi where we ate a record of $110+ for 3 persons.
Sunday
Did pretty much nothing as it was raining the whole day.
