Batam escape

We needed to take a break. We needed to go a place where we don't understand the language and the food. We needed to go to a place where NS and ERP makes no sense. We needed to go somewhere where the mention of roti prata and hainanese chicken rice will be responded with puzzled looks. We needed to get out of Singapore.But we were 2 yet rich people who had only S$200 each to spend. So we went to Batam. The place where food is cheap, transport is cheap, hotel is cheap, massage is cheap and ah peks are dicks... I can't think of anything that is expensive there.

We we're not rich yet, so we took the ferry instead of a private jet. Its quite a relaxing 45min ride less the cramp on the shoulder due to an unexplained weight acting on it.
Food was aplenty on the little island and because its cheap, everything taste good ! I mean seriously, the food is really good.

What can go wrong with A & W's root beer float eh! We're craving for it so much that we had to get a mug the moment we arrive at Batam centre.

One of the greater perks for me at batam is that I felt so much richer when i got my hands to the rupiahs. Ay, look at these, glorious monetary digits .Ah, and did i mention that shopping at batam meant scoring lots of cheap brand inspired products too?
The hospitality of the people of Batam was up most pleasing . Our taxi driver in this case, waited for us every time we alighted at our destination. His friendly gesture really beat alot of service personnel in Singapore hands down . How ever, it kind of brings the paranoia part of me out when strangers start doing such nice things to me. =s

This is my Godzilla sized Malay masseuse(p.s. the one on the left, although they both looked Godzilla size) who speaks in a weird attempting to seduce voice. Despite her failed attempt , i would say that she did a pretty good job during the 2 hours session. Whats more, I spent only a mere 22 bucks for the oil therapy massage. Ay, i felt like a slut for being so cheap~

A new interest....

I think i'm so gonna get a confirmed death sentence after this post..

Theres been a spike in interest in this certain activity that i've been watching people do and i've yet to do it. This sudden enthusiasm was secretly brought forward and almost materialising.Put a kayak , a Jc and some fishing equipment together, you've got kayak Fishing! Ta dah~

See how fun it is!? Its freaking cool right...paddle fish, paddle fish.. You'll get to work out , get a tan , look good and fish at the same time! How perfect could that even be? Fishing is always done in slacks and flip flops with a bunch of old fags smoking around me acting so pro. Input a kayak into it would make it way much cooler then it has even been.

Its also so easy to own one now because the kayaks are all compact and all so you wouldn't have to rent a space at the marina to park it there. There are like fold able ones that could be pack into bags and stored at home and all. How COOL is that !
For a minimal price of just around 2.6 K, you get to own a pretty neat kayak already! With paddles some more! How cool is that! Whats more, I've already found a kayak buddy,the trusty Ernest who actually thought its quite cool to kayak.I just have to persuade him that its worth the money to get one and off we go!

ok,i'm glad that i'm in camp protected by barb wires and soldiers holding guns while i type all these... p.s. i could get a double seater so we could go kayaking together!

A broken rod , a busted line, a fallen soul..

You were so dear to me...
When ever i'm down , bored or just plain itching to fish, you are always there for me...
We shared many joyous moments together in the wilderness, as close to nature as it could be.
I still remember the first time i saw you, felt your tenderness, I knew you're the one....

You bring me many many many wonderful experiences and left great memories..

I'm sorry I pushed you to your limits..I should have known...

I don't know what I'm gonna do without you.. I won't forget you my friend...Rest in pieces buddy...

Thats actually..

quite a corny post ..

isn't it? XD

Don't taint me with ur purity and innocence

No one told me it will be like this,
No one followed my trail,
No one consented,
No one thought of my consequences,
No one figured me out,
No one was there....

Life ain't a box of chocolates, its full of maggots and bacteria..

There is this infinite black hole building up within myself. I wonder if i'll die young some times..Well jc, we've told you so~

From,

The infinite voices within

I'm starting to talk to myself...

This is bad, this prolonged solitude and boredom has led me onto a path of self delusion and is wrecking my mental well being...

I can't find any one to rant to any more...

.nuff said.

Peanut butter banana pancakes ..

So, I'm back.

Hell isn't that bad after all =)I'm sure they don't sell booze there though..

The trip opened my vision alil wider, made me alil stronger . Ah, and did i mentioned, i lost like 7 kgs during the ordeal. The highest rate so far , come join my training peeps who wants to shed some weight =D

So I'm going to go for a very long walk soon. Sigh, i suspect that by the end of it, something very interesting would happen...

So, i had time off for the past couple of days. Sigh, i'm a pretty lonely person now. I hate nus, they robbed stuffs from me.Oh well, least I had some people to stt and whine to.

I had a good look at Ted for the first time. To my dear SBF, ted seems like a nice person. although i had the most akward conversation with him i think he'ld make it to the nice and sweet guy list( sth which doesn't include even me).

Caught up with Jy yesterday morning at the lake. Now that i'm back, he is flying off to thai land. Curses, its so hard to get a fishing kaki now adays.. This is what we've got ..

Very much wanted to watch transformers, but i just can't find the right time slot or people to watch with. I think its destined somehow that i either watch it alone or don't watch it at all. Sigh, i can't get to see MR megan fox in action.

Hmm... 41 days more until something good happens. Sigh, how am i gonna survive till then. Time to re summon my minions and get occupied...

A little trip to hell

Well well here I am on a typical Friday morning blogging . Tsk, in a few moments time I'll be out of earth and be sent to a land where the man in Singapore , detest the most. Due to the recent tightening of media security in my work, I can't really go into specific details of what I'm doing or what I am going to do. However, I'll drop discernible hints and perhaps you could pick it up.

So, In hours time I'll be sent of on a little "holiday" to no man's land . Sounds pretty cool huh, but on the contrary , it isn't . The temperature averages a whooping 38 degrees Celsius over there,hell on earth isn't just happening in story books any more.

The fact that I'm too cool a person makes heat my kryptonite. I've got heart stopping events happening before during the heat epidemic.Though worrying , I believe that every fall makes a man stronger, so don't worry the cool dude would last through the ordeal.

Its taxing not only physically though , deep within , something is going to be temporarily ripped away from me during this period.Despite the uncountable series of uncertainties,I certainly agree that things would turn out better if I could last through this period.

Some one mentioned that I'm like a Jet plane , I'm always moving too fast. I like that description though, which made me develop a fondness for the super hero FLASH recently =). Ay, when ever some one mentions that I'm too fast, I always imagine myself being a red crimson streak of light. Oh well, Jc is being over his head again .

Ever tried wine tasting? Its a culture of a high society I guess, or perhaps, a side path paved by an imminent alcoholic =) A good wine , i felt really depends on the essence that flow through the whole wine taste process. From the first taste, till the gentle yet engulfing swell in your mouth as the tongue twirl around the toxic in your mouth and the bitter yet sweet after taste when you gulp it down. Lately , after a visit to the wine cellar, there is one which caught my eye . Its amber red toxic looks devious yet alluring. The first taste was seemingly familiar yet it conjured up a pleasant swell as my let the liquid flow through the cavity. Surprisingly for a swell at such a calibre, it had a unique , gentle yet pleasant after taste. This bottle of wine is a keeper =) A fine companion and compliment , its composure and elegance falls into place like the missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. I'm pretty sure I made a right choice=)
