Ripcurl Beach VB 2007 / Raffles Hotel TGIF with Kelly & Leon

Team Sublime is the combined Champion of Ripcurl's 2007 Beach vball competition!

note the word combined. thanks to some issues of time (and lack of preparation), the 4 semi-finalists have hence been crowned (combined) CHAMPIONS of 2007.

i'm not complaining, but we really did a damn good job of playing today, my/our team was very surprised at how far we've gone. Sure we attributed Luck as a factor (for getting teams that weren't exactly lethal), but we also attributed communication and chemistry between us. :) i guess i am a very happy boy that i've finally dove into a sport that i've known and loved throughout these years and the effort pays off when you can deliver a very beautiful spike across the net. Also, winning all 4 matches played was a good motivation too!

also, the $300 Ripcurl voucher split 4 ways ANDDDDDDD first row VIP SEASONAL seats to the FIVB Women's beach vball tournament got me much happier too.

but trophy wise, it's a disappointment, i hope VAS / Ripcurl can do something about the trophies!

oh yes, aside from The Ripcurl volleyball tourney, on Friday, i met up with TSBF Leon & Kelly for some good time of ketching up on a very ATAS place -.- Raffles Hotel. Good Lord, total bill was 202.90 can. for 3 freakin' people. and worse, my treat. knnbccb. dont' ask me how i got into this. EITHERWAY, the food wasn't THAT bad, so it was worth it, besides, the company made the amount paid much more bearable. What with TSBF's obsession with corn, Kelly's obsession with Pistachio sorbet and my inability to eat buffets ...

(Leon: i finish 4 rounds, u just finished one round/plate.
Isaac: but i piled it up wad!.
Leon: but with VEGETABLES?!
Isaac: *protests* SALAD! WITH DRESSING!
Leon: aiya, might as well throw you into the field to chew grass
Isaac: -.-)

at a cozy lil' corner in Bars & Billiards

then we went for a few rounds of drinks! it's been quite a while since i've gone back to see my old workplace. it was really a quiet night, wondering where the usual waterhole clientele have gone. eitherway, a quieter place, better atmosphere for the menage a trois to yak the night away.

Bellinis & a Dirty-tini anyone?

Pity TSBF's going to America for a month and Kelly's gonna be real busy with work for the next 3 months. i guess that's why we're meeting up ever so often these few days, especially when i'm going into NS. shucks.

i won all the matches for YOU BABY. :) though you're far away and don't reply my sms-es in times and i was a bit harsh to you on the phone. you were my motivation! everytime your name rumbled in my cranium, man, every dig spike and set was with great vigour.

oh love and its silly little charms. i love.

TGIF!

saw this from a random friendster website. haha. now how children-friendly is THIS quartet of annoying aliens?

tell me when it's over. don't leave me hanging. so many mixed signals. so many double meanings. it's hard to hold onto something uncertain already. committed i am yes, but the passion is diminishing.

Supper Attack. ARGH.

just when i thought the Matriach couldn't get any more evil sweeter, she brought back THIS for supper.

it all started with this

"mummy, can get me supper?"
"i'm at changi area, what you want?"
"erm, anything lo, mut ye tou hou (canto for anything's fine)"
"okay, i go find"

so after my night jog, i came back to see THIS on the dining table.

please scream omg and stab my tummy but that won't work coz of all the fats poking out. TSK. Crab Bee Hoon (with Brandy) mind you. it's not as good as the famous one in Northern SG (AMK? Bishan or TPY? not sure). but okay lar, substantial.

i hearts the matriach deeps deeps. haha. but next time, fishball noodles would just be as palatable.

*

tomorrow's pretty much like any expecting-NS-hell day, much lying around doing nothing. i don't mind, i bet i'll be reminiscing about this when i'm botak. tsk.

great, now i can't sleep till the food's digested. DOTA anyone? :) id: fruitsalts.

Lady Sovereign - Love me or Hate me

Love me or hate me it's still an obsession
Love me or hate me that is the question
if you love me then fuck you
if you hate me then fuck you!
-LADY SOVEREIGN - Love me or Hate me

it's a bloody vulgar song, but it's so bloody catchy, especially with the arpeggio-like synthetic sounds behind. no wonder she's touted as the upcoming female version of Eminem.

oh and this has no reference to anyone really! i was just using Limewire to look up Reggae and Hiphop songs (by Genre). Apparently, since Phuture last Friday, been looking for hippity hop songs. DOPE!

Daddy Yankee!

Nina Sky!

Sean Paul!

okie, i better stop before my favourite drink becomes tequila and beer. -.-

i found it! and The matriach!

given from a special someone. i still cherish. pity the scratch marks, silly me placed it into the coin compartment of my wallet a few months back.

this is what i've been looking for/at and DOING the WHOLE afternoon. Slugs Anonymous can start calling me now.

I swear going out with The Matriach is a SINFUL DECADENCE for me. i can so imagine becoming fat(ter). Reason?

• Well, on monday we went to Ichiban Boshi @ Great World City and stuffed ourselves silly with the conveyor belt of delights and the some food festival where we had some soyabean miso soup full of veggie delights as well as some fried tempura prawn STUFFED (yes stuffed) with cream cheese..

• And this afternoon we went to Lao Beijing @ PS and had many a xiaolongbao & wo tie (dumplings) and fried buns. oh me oh my. at least she love (handle)s me =p

my tummy muscles ache abit, due to yesterday's rather strenous workout after the failure(HAHA) of my NAPFA. well, i've kinda submitted myself to fate that i'll just use the PTP one month period to get away from everything, get myself fit (and bald) and then come out being your defender of the nation. harumph!

*

so tomorrow's a (hopefully) alone time suntanning and gymming all day, followed by dinner with TSBF Leon & Kelly @ some bbq/teppanyaki buffet @ Novena's United Square!. Sorry to the CCWA peeps!! :/ i arranged this quite some time ago

out of passion at the moment, but holding on by commitment

Candy Hearts, Attitudes & 2:30AM.

You Are a Candy Heart

You're definitely a pro when it comes to romance - and you have great dating etiquette. Plus you probably smell and taste pretty darn good.

Are You a Candy Heart or a Candy Fart?

Your Attitude is Better than 40% of the Population

You have a positive attitude... somtimes. You prefer to see the world through clear glasses, not rose colored ones.

How's Your Attitude?

Happy Birthday to Cheryl, the pretty girl who had her birthday celebration @ the glass house Fish & Co (formerly TGIF).

updates will come with pictures (awaiting Daryl & Alaric's cams!)

i maybe running out of steam, but when i know somethings so right, keep on keeping on is my motto. i love you.

Blogthings.com thinks i'm very feminine. @(*#!&@#

first it started with THIS.

You Date Like a Woman

According to studies on dating, you date like a woman. You tend to take romance seriously, and you're not really out for a fling. A mental and emotional connection always comes first for you. And rushing the physical stuff is likely to turn you off. You're highly selective when it comes to dating, and some may say you're too picky. You know what you want, and when you find it, you're ready to commit.

Do You Date Like a Man or a Woman?

and to think "feminism" wouldn't be an issue, along came THIS.

You Are a Mermaid

You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are. While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need. Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational. You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else.

What Mythological Creature Are You?

wonderful, please start calling me Isabella Tatiana Chen Zi Yan. -.-
