:: Told you its going to be legendary ::

Last Saturday, I told K that “tonight my friend…… its going to be LEGENDARY.” Not surprising, he didn’t believe me a single bit. By the end of the night, after doing an “after action review” did he realize that the night was truly, leuwauly legendary. Why? Here’s why
1) We manage to get a bus to miss his turn making him enter PIE.
2) We ate dendeng (or is it spelled dengdeng)
3) We played pool on a billard table. (One game took 15min plus to finish)
4) The trip down to Geylang was plagued with humorously done wrong turns
5) Lastly, its legendary alone to be spending time with my close friends.

The night however was almost ruined by rain. Luckily, it did not. On Friday, me and Suf was at the Lunarin pre album launch. I got a free poster, a free guitar pick and their newest album, get this, before it was even launched! Yes! Place was packed and here’s some picture to prove it.










































































I recommend any music lover to get the new Lunarin album (Duae). Been close to a week and I'm still listening to it.

:: Friday the 13th ::

Since its Friday the 13th, here's some interesting facts about it.

• According to Smithsonian Magazine "fear of the #13 costs American a billion dollars per year in absenteeism, train and plane cancellations, and reduced commerce on the 13th of the month."
  
  
• Fear of Friday the 13th dates back to Nordic Mythology. Many of their thirteenth Gods met with violent deaths, such as Loki, the trickster.
  
  
• Ancient Romans regarded the number 13 as a symbol of death, destruction and misfortune.
  
  
• Lizzy Borden uttered a total of 13 words at her trial.
  
  
• There were 13 original colonies.
  
  
• A witches coven consists of 13 members.
  
  
• Tarot Card number 13 is the Death Card, depicting the Grim Reaper (although it is read as transition or change and not literal death).
  
  
• Hotels rarely have a room number 13. Usually it is called 12a or 14. Same with floors of buildings and the elevators without a #13 button. Highways sometimes will skip exit 13 altogether also.
  
  
• There are 13 steps leading to the gallows.
  
  
• 13 knots in a hangman's noose.
  
  
• 13 feet which the guillotine blade falls.
  
  
• The driver of Princess Diana hit pillar #13 at Place de l'Alma when she was killed in Paris, France.
  
  
• 13 people, Christ and his 12 disciples, were in attendance at the last supper. This is where the Christian belief ties in, making Friday a believed unlucky day, as the crucifixtion occurred on a Friday.
  
  
• Certain ocean liners will be held in dock until after midnight to appease passenger's fears on Friday the 13th.
  
  
• British study concluded that even though there were less cars on the road on Friday the 13th (as compared with other Fridays) more accidents were reported.
  
  
• Trisadekaphobia is the technical name for fear of Friday the 13th.
  
  
• Apollo 13, 1970, the 13th mission launched from pad #39 (13 x 3), mission was aborted, after an explosion occurred in the fuel cell of their service module. The rocket had left launcing pad at 13:13 CST and the date was April 13th.
  
  
• Epluribus Unum has 13 letters.
  
  
• The US Seal has 13 stars, bars, feathers in the eagle's tail, 13 bars in one claw, 13 olive branches in the other.
  
  
• A "quatrorzieme" is a professional 14th guest hired by the French who had only 13 guests in attendance for dinner, who felt that was unlucky.
  
  
• A baker's dozen consists of 13 for a reason! So the story goes a witch near Albany, NY demanded 13 items every time she came in to a particular bakery, and one day the old baker could not afford her extra biscuit. She sneered some strange words at the man, and he suffered terrible luck from then on, until he brought her another 13 rolls. After that life was once again easy for the baker and word spread around town. The custom is still sometimes practiced today.

Oh and also, today I'm getting my hands on the new Lunarin album! BOOYAH Buttocks!!!

:: Long weekends ::

Bless the long weekend that has passed. Long weekends are a good way to unwind, slow down and get that much needed rest after weeks and weeks of work. Long weekends are meant for late night sleep, late morning wake ups and just lazing around the house in nothing more than a shirt and underwear. To sit and just sloth. Being a couch potato is never a bad thing when it comes to long weekends. A trip out of Singapore would be good in the offing too I guess. BUT…..

That’s not how I roll! Long weekends? Bah! My long weekend was spent exploring! Yes. Exploring. Singapore is small. But the unknowns are still there. Here’s how things went.

Friday, 6th August 2010 – This happen between 1730hrs and 0000hrs

Met up with Suf and Moe to do that one thing we have not been doing for years. We went out to play pool! The whole night we played 9 ball and the final score was 5 (Moe), 4 (Suf) and 3 (Me). I suck at playing it. Been years (2 maybe) since I’ve played. I don’t think this would be the last time we’ll be playing pool.

Saturday, 7th August 2010 – This happen between 1200hrs and 2100hrs

Went to meet up Suf to explore sales opportunity. Ended in Bishan Junction 8. Target found. A sale at BHG. Everything going at 60%. Yes. 60%. Suf manage to capture a formal shoe going at $89 (original price $189). Polo tees were going for $10 a piece. Went out of that place with smiles. Mission accomplished.

Sunday 8th August 2010 – This happen between 1800hrs to 2100hrs

Me and K saw a forested area somewhere near a park in Sengkang and wondered what was in there. On this day, K, Suf and I went to answer that very question. The area I’m talking about is somewhere near Sengkang Park (if memory serves me right). We were attacked by a bee (which explains why there were 3 guys in the middle of the area with their helmets on) and a snake. YES! A SNAKE!!! The day ended with dinner at the Prata House. A picture that sums up the mood of the area.






































Monday 9th August 2010 – This happen between 1700hrs to 2200hrs

Went to catch up with Gob. Nothing much happen. Been awhile since I’ve met him and it was awesomely leuwau to be laughing and sharing stories with him. He’s one dude who is always on my mind and that one dude I truly miss. Work and personal commitments just makes it harder for us to meet each other often I guess. At least we both are trying to set a date to see each other at least once. The topic of the day was “teabagging” and Left 4 dead. Really need to try out that game very very soon.

Therefore, I conclude, long weekends are just awesome. It was awesome, even if what I wrote are just highlights. Pretty much was occupied with my own personal ‘project’ during this time. Funny how I manage to squeeze that with whatever I wrote. Time management is simply…. BOOYAH BUTTOCKS!

:: Weekends so far ::

June weekends started with a wedding followed by 1 weekend gig. The following week was back to back gigs and next week would be my TP, cousin wedding and lastly the last gig for this month.

:: Argument on food ::

Met up with Ash(raf) and had a discussion on which is the best burger in town while enjoying Arnolds chicken. My top 5 would be

1. Double Mcspicy
2. Botak Jones You Crazy or what
3. Filet O Fish
4. Subway Meatball Sandwich (Shut up, 2 breads with meat in between = Burger)
5. Big Mac

As you can see no Burger King burgers are on my list. Also, found out from Ash that Burger King is called Hungry Jack in Australia. Weird.

I basically grew up listening to them, my influence in music mostly them, i wanted a band so bad after watching their "First Date" video. the news of their breakup really shocked me years ago, (to think my ex girlfriend was there when it happen...jinx). So this news is the best I've heard so far for this year. Really can't wait for the new album!!!

::New Hairstyle and Leslie the Man::

Let me introduce you to a good good friend of mine. His name is Leslie and I know him for 5 years now. He is an avid gambler and also a professional "diss master". And here we have, his beautiful, beautiful Utt lookalike face.

Aww... ain't he the cutest creature you can ever lay your eyes on. He is a great great friend mine, sharing with me many practical jokes that we've played on him. And he is always cool with it, always telling us "to shut the fuck up and stuff your nose in our sorry ass....dog." Well, for all the practical jokes, I truly love this fucker and we've gone way way way back.

I'm thinking of changing hairstyles since the one i'm having now is not "wind friendly". So any ideas?

P.s: If anyone tells me to cut like Leslie, i swear i will tell you to shut the fuck up and stuff your nose in your sorry ass....dog!
