NeX

Welcome to NeX ala Vegas Style?

Finally, after waiting for a few years, the MRT line and the mammoth Shopping Centre - NeX - is open. The SC wasn't officially open yet but there were already hordes of people there.

I took some time off my "busy" schedule (actually i had nothing to do cos Dave canceled a photography session and my backup plan of going to ECP to shoot some failed due to the weather) and walked over to the SC.

Its big and already about 70% of the stores are opened. It took me about 15-20 mins to finish walking the entire SC with exception to the top floor which houses the Sky Garden as well as the National Library. From the floor below it looked like there is a playground for kids too similar to that of Vivo City.


I liked the store name.


Kiddie chairs in the form of race cars and bikes... look there's Barney playing on the TV in front of the seats at Super Cuts!

Restaurants, Eateries and Fast Food Joints occupy most of the shop space - in addition to the ever present ladies wear/shoe shops. Surprisingly, there were many - too many IMHO - EyeWear and Salons under one roof. What's disappointing is that there were no major clothing brands - with exception to prolly Esprit (does Isetan count?), no major Sporting brands - only Sports Link and World of Sports. I didn't manage to see where the Cinemas' are at too.


Yohoho Carl's Jnr!


Mad Cow lol

In conclusion:

Good(s) and Bad(s) about NeX

The good(s) about NeX would be the choice of Eats, Party World KTV, the library, the no. of Cinema Halls, the (relatively cheap) parking - YES BIKES CAN GO IN TOO - Car rates are at $1.20 per hr, $0.60 per half hr thereafter - Sat, Sun and public holidays are an additional $0.10, bikes go in at a flat rate of $1.20 per entry, EVERYDAY.

The bad(s) about NeX would be the lack of Major brands (i'm guessing cos it's still a neighborhood shopping mall) and the lack of a dedicated Men's clothing store.

Heh. Alright. Almost.

Ehhheh.

Guess i scared a few peeps about my last post.

Just felt shitty last morning after i came home nuahing at Xing Wang HK Cafe @ cineleisure. Wrote a inspiring note to myself. Got too inspired that i immediately changed and went for a run before i went to work (OT).

The run was too fast, too furious. Going for a high intensity run without proper warm up and no sleep for the past 24 hours was stupid. I ended up completing 2 laps of high intensity run/sprint and going straight home. In the end i broke into cold sweat, felt faint and had problems bringing my heartbeat down.

Tot that i was gonna die like those people who just passed away while running. SERIOUSLY. At first i tot i was low on blood sugar so i gulped down some apple juice. When that didn't help i was like ah fuck it, i'll just go to sleep. If its gonna end like this its gonna end like this. Theres no escape.

Luckily i felt better when i woke up at 12pm. Needless to say i did not go for OT but i was honestly quite relieved that i'm ok. No more intense exercise while having less that 7 hours of sleep beforehand liao.

Met up with Dave, Marcus, Roland and Michael to go Malaysia for a eat cum CSS (Clear Carbon Session) at night. Marcus had a slight incident in which his back tyre got punctured immediately after exiting the Malaysian toll booths. We worked furiously (erm actually Michael - our RSM (Road Side Mechanic) - did) to fix the tyre for an hour before we could resume our journey. The return trip was normal with us helping our bikes clear their "lungs".

Roland and Michael went home as they got work today while Dave, Marcus and me went to our new "joint" to nuah and view scenery. The Xin Wang HK Cafe at Cineleisure. Talked alot of cock, the ones guys always talk about, job, army, gals, certain other disgusting things that still disgusts me even now (and i dun get disgusted that easily) while i am typing out this post now.

OH YEAH AND ONE OF THE WAITRESSES AT THE HK CAFE IS QUITE CUTE. LIKE HER SMILE. FOUND OUT THAT SHE IS AN INDONESIAN CHINESE AND THAT SHES YOUNGER THAN SHE LOOKS... Hmmmm...

=P

Eheh, feel like going for another run like yesterday morning before i go sleep leh. Abit scared like yesterday leh.

I guess, i'll just go to sleep. Busy day later. Morning cut hair, afternoon wash bike, at night watch movie and mebbie abit of LAN gaming with the cousin and friends. Perhaps can pop by Xin Wang again... =x

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Its like...

Zzz...

Its like its been quite awhile.

Its like just one of those times when u feel pretty sucky.

Its like for no bloody reason you will feel bloody emo.

ITS LIKE SHIT.

Its like you wonder why u ain't got no money.

Its like why you ain't got no honey.

Its like why you cannot be like somebody else.

Its like going on for 2 weeks, until after i had my paintball training.

And its like, poooff!

Anyway, the emo period is over now,

and its like, time for a recap for the past two weeks...

Watched Bloody Valentine 3D with Pegs after work.


3D glasses make me so handsome. XD


Messin' around

Pegs was quite apprehensive about my suggestion to take photos of us with the glasses in the cinema but once she started, she couldn't stop.

XD

We aren't the only ones taking pics of ourselves though, the couple next to us promptly whipped out a camera after sitting down.

XD

BTW me and Pegs agreed that Bloody Valentine was not really scary although i did notice in the corner of my eye that "someone" got startled a few times whilst watching the movie...

XD

Pegs mentioned that i wore my Man Utd jersey everytime i went out with her... REALLY?! Didn't realise that. I guess i just grabbed whatever shirt i could find and left the house... never realised that! I'll keep a mental note of it, i promise.

A shopping spree in the works, perhaps?

XD

Played soccer after work with the peeps. Marcus and Carol came down and joined us for the very first time! Carol wasted no time getting out her camera and started snapping away after our game. We then proceeded to restore the fats that we've lost at the newly renovated KKFC. The decor was nice but there was no more free drink refills... So sad.


Relaxing after the game


Tired but happy


Dave


Mortal enemies... we were on the same team btw... XD

Took a day off to settle some stuffs as well as to go and apply for my new passport. The old one was dirty, spoilt and running out of pages. Watched Paul Bart, Mall Cop with Pegs (I treated her to watch the movie with me -again- and she treated me to a nachos combo in return) at night. The movie was quite funny, although i didn't really enjoy the movie due to the emoing i was going though at that point of time. Pegs went to find her friends after that and i met up with the godbro - he was having problems - for dinner.

Went for my diploma orientation after work. Alot of peeps in different majors, mostly males, with a few China girls. I do not believe there is any SG gals. Not even an auntie. Guess there will be less distractions!

Paintball Training! Bruises come, emo go! Found out that Alicia will be joining us (Team Dark Militia) for Leg 2 instead of Mark who went off to join Team Kamikaze. -_-" Wished that the team was consulted before making any unilateral decisions...


All i need is a kiss from you, my dearest... Pain(t)Ball!


SPNS LEG 2 on 17th May 2009 @ Pasir Ris Park (Native Lawn)! Please come and support!

Had Arnold's with Dave again, wacked loads of chicken again (Dave's fault XD). Went to Cineleisure to la "Yuen Yang" (Coffee mixed with Tea) at Xing Wang (Hongkong Cafe). Roland, Michael and Leon came over to meet us.

Met Andy, My BMT mate after that (evidently he was also at Cineleisure and he saw me and called me) and we chatted for quite long. Roland and co went off to Jalan Kayu. Me and Dave would later move off to Yishun Dam where we were joined by Bear. Went off to AMK Mac after that as it was gonna rain. Went home around 4+ am.

Found some additional SPNS Leg 1 pics...









Going out now to meet Eddie liao!

Ouch.

Hi,

took half day to come home earlier today, kinda had a minor accident at work so came home earlier to go see the doc. The forehead had a hole on it. The doc saw it and commented that he could not stitch it back as part of the skin was missing. Therefore prolly the only thing to do was to leave it. The doc was quite humorous as well as he said that it (the hole) could be added to my list of battle scars... Mebbie he thinks that i'm Harry Porter. Though my scar would not be like a lightning streak but is in the form of a Y... LOL! Mebbie i should find a nemesis or a GF whose name starts or contains the letter Y. Hahaha!


Above the right eye... Y me? LOL!

Below are a few ideas that i might be doing to my room... took these pics at IKEA on saturday night.


Frames?


Bedside locker
