Clubbing at SG with Miss J

All started at MBS tower 3, I walked towards the security with Ken and Fatty near the lifts to Skypark. The security stopped us, and would not let us go. As there is a dress code, for the event tonight. We tried our luck and eventually could not go in a group.

I decided to go on my own as miss J and her friend had been waiting on top for us. I told Ken and Fatty that I will be joining them after a quick drink with Miss J and her friend. When I took the lift, I guess my heart beat somehow quicken a bit. I somehow feel that the lift travelled really quickly, as from 1st storey to 57th storey seems to be too fast. I somehow wasn't ready for it. When the door opens, I walked straight to the toilet. Maybe is because of the pressure up there is slightly different that I need to take a pee the moment I reached 57th floor. 

I was looking for Miss J around Skypark, there are two places on top. One is Kudeta Resturant and another is Club Lounge. They were waiting in the Club Lounge. I was a bit excited the moment I hear the music beats as fast as my heart. I was trying to search for Miss J and eventually saw her with another friend next to her. 

I bought a few drinks and we eventually moved to One Fullerton Over Easy to look for Ken and Fatty. By that time, we were rather tipsy already. I guess the time is around 1 a.m. I guess the night is still young. 

We had some chicken wings and Moet at over easy and also shared some stupid banters all night long. I guess Ken had been a good entertainer. He bought two special drinks for the birthday girl. Miss W and also had a few pictures together. We then set off to Butter Factory. 

Inside butter factory with the influence of alcohol. We danced all night until 5 am in the morning.

It was good fun! 

Dinner with Miss J @ Ma Maison

The date was set at 7.30pm at Ma Maison Central Clark Quay. We set the date about a week in advance. The restaurant is a fusion between French and Japanese cuisine. 

I arrived slightly earlier, about 6.45pm. I went to survey the restaurant and plan my route. As I was told that woman doesn't like the feeling of being lost. Typical egoistic man I am. 

At 715pm, I went to the nearest 7-11 in the MRT station and bought an Aloe Vera drink. Just to calm my self down a bit. I drank the 225 ml fruit juice in a few gulp and  I feel a bit calmer afterwards. 

Then, I started to text her, telling her that I reached MRT station already. She told me that she had also arrived but is waiting at the first storey concourse. Without hesitation, I went up to the concourse and look for her. The moment I walked pass Orchard Central main door I saw her immediately. She was looking at her phone texting me. 

She was wearing a pink colour sweater, a floral blouse underneath, high platform shoes and applied make up on her fair face. The impression is rather different from the first time I met her. Somehow, I think she looks good today. 

The moment we met, she started to speak in her mother tongue, Cantonese with me, I replied in English, and quickly tell her that my Cantonese is not as fluent as before. It would probably take me a while to learn the language back again. she switched to English comfortably. Eventually, we ended up chatting in English, with a tiny bit of mandarin and Cantonese. I guess, I stop worrying about our language barrier in the first 4 minutes we met. 

We moved on to Cheers, to get some Panadol for her, as she mentioned that she was not feeling well in the first place.After getting the pills, we went up to 3rd floor very swiftly according to the route which I had planned previously. Rather Cheeky! I guess these are some of the tactics a man would do during dating. 

During the journey, we talked about travelling, friends and some banters. I remember that she still vividly remember how I commented on her accent previously, as she doesn't reflect any characteristic of a Hongkie. I said, she looks too friendly for one of them. 

When we reached Ma Maison, we were seated at the table by the window, the ambiance is amazing. i.e. cosy warm light, river view, chequered table cloth and most importantly not too crowded. I was rather happy with my selection and probably feel proud about it now. 

I ordered Escargot as entrée,  hamburger steak and squid ink pasta for main, and a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. We then resume our conversation for the night. It was rather entertaining especially when the food, ambiance and companion are all above average for my standard. Although, I did choke myself with squid ink pasta and wine at some point, but it wasn't too horrible. 

I also ordered a brownies and ice cream dessert for share as to call it a day. The hot brownies melted in my mouth together with ice cream, which I think was sensational. We both liked the dessert. I must say that it was a great night for me. 

Meeting LYT

After sending off Serene, Jonathan malcom and chai ann from airport on the 4th of May, I drove to sunny garden to pick her up. Over the phone, I can hear clearly her Chinese accent, I would say a very light one. 

As she appearing from the door step, she was wearing black and a bit of make up. My first impression was, she has grown to a mature lady already. 

However, she still maintain her walking traits. swinging her hands more than normal and her head tilting downwards.

The moment she get onto my car, we started to talk about where to go. The common things that we shared was, we had not eaten our lunch. So immediately, we changed our plan from a drink to a late lunch. 

We went to Party play in Lintas Square, my first visit to the restaurant. it was a unique cosy western restaurant. I ordered braised lamb with chunky fries while she had her pasta and Vanila milk shake. Then, our catch up session begins. The good thing about hanging out with Aeries is that we can talk about anything. We talked about life partners, on-line business, holidays, sickness and family. The entire catch up session last for about 4 hours. I didn't expect that we had so much to talk about.

After our catch up session, I drop her off back to her house, before she opens the door, I unfasten my seat belt and went over to hug her. The hug was longer than my normal hug and it was very strong too. I guess she had some tears in her eyes too. The impulsive feeling is so strong. She then open the door and walk back to his home. I wave good bye to her and drove home on my own.

Post Holiday Syndrome

It is exactly a week after my long holiday in Sabah 2013.

I slept until 4pm today, maybe is to recharge myself thoroughly after a long week at work and also some of the fatigues I had during my trip in Sabah. Play and no rest.

I spent my time with myself, catching up with myself in Macdonald's at Bishan for the remaining hours of the day. Reading some articles magazines and lounging all by myself.

Sometimes i would say is time wasting, but to me this is pretty much essential before settling myself in Singapore hectic lifestyle again.

Lastly,I called my mum and wished her happy mother's day. we talked about holidays and chatted a while about the restaurant they went for celebration just now. A quick little catch up between mother and son.

Kota kinabalu climbing trip 2013

After a brief discussion with Alan regarding our trip to KK 2013: Our tentative itinerary will be as follow: 

27/4
Place: KK
Stay: KK 

28/4
Place: Padas River
Transport: Wave hunter
Stay: Kota Kinabalu
Note: We gathered in Likas bus station around 530 in the morning and followed the bus to Beaufort to catch the train to Padas river, we reached Beaufort river around 745 and took a quick meal at a nearby restaurant. We then took the train to Padas river. We chatted, teased and had fun in the train. We reach the starting point around noon, and after a short briefing, we were putting on our gears and head off to water rafting. Our guide of the day was called King Kong, he has the most experience among all guide and we were lucky to have him on board with us. He let us jump into the river and have fun with the yellow chilly water. I guess the rafting last for about 45 minutes. After the end of our rafting, we have to carry our raft with bare feet on hot stones back to the train station. I guess now I know how Mr King Kong got all his beautiful muscle. 

The water rafting is tiring but awesome! 

29/4
Place Mount Kinabalu (TImpohon Trail)
Transport: NIL
Stay Labanrata
Note: We started to leave KK around 6 o clock in the morning, reached Kinabalu park, the foothill of mount Kinablau around 9. We got our self registered and started our climb around 0930am. I gave most of my stuff to the porter; I carry only bottles, puncho and a bit of chocolate. The weather is perfect for the climb. I felt so lucky to have such a good weather. We reached Pendant Hut, Accommodation for TORQ, around 3pm. We were probably the last group to reached pendant hut. I guess, we have got too many monkey business during the climb. Thinking back, all the stories shared and people met. Time spent is well worth it! We took tons of profile pictures during the climb to pendant hut. 

After reaching pendant hut around 3, showered and settled down. We attended the briefing for the via ferrata by a few mountain guides there. The briefing last for about an hour. After the briefing, we went for our dinner and then our sleep. preparing for our 2nd part of the climb the next morning. 

30/4
Place Mount Kinabalu (Ferrata/ Mesilau)
Transport: Amazing Borneo
Stay: Kota Kinabalu
Note: Woke up around 1.30am, brushed my teeth, had my breakfast and started our ascend to low's peak through the low's peak summit trail. We were the 1st group to reach low's peak, around 5.05am. Waiting for about 50 minutes for the sun rise and then left low's peak for the via ferrata starting point near sayap sayap. Upon reaching the starting point, All I can see is that we were all standing at the edge of the mountain, all I can see is only clear blue skies, sun, rock and abit of green. The low's peak circuit is divided into 3 sections, 1st- Vertical drop, 2nd- non ferrata route( jungle trekking) 3rd section- Walk the TORQ. 

Beautiful weather for the via ferrata. Felt so blessed! 

Unfortunately, ting ting couldn't make it for the ferrata with us. I guess this will be a stepping stone for us to go another level in rock climbing in the future. I am looking forward to it already. 

1/5
Place: Tip of Borneo
Transport: Own transport
Stay: Kota Kinabalu
Note: After water rafting and mt kinabalu, we decided to go for something easy, travelling for a few hours to the tip of borneo to catch the sunset seems to be a good idea. Tip of borneo, is like the cape of good hope of sabah, we have South china sea on the left and Sulu Sea on our right. The mood is just right, and the journey was filled with laughters! 

Again, the weather is amazing, we also met an interesting ang mo look-a-like there who work in Tommy's resort. he elaborated some of the most interesting things happened in Tip of Borneo, i.e: Sea gulls putting up a shows, thousand and thousand of stars, millions and millions of shrimps migrating and of course the crystal clear sea. 

I wish I could speak as good as him. :) 

2/5/
Place : Pulau Tiga (one of spot chosen as a settings for Survivors)
Transport : Own

Note: We drove to Kuala Penyu around 7 o clock in the morning, we took a speed boat to the survival island around 1045am. We checked in around 11 something and had our lunch there in the pulau tiga resort around 12 noon. After our lunch, we trek a while to the volcanic mud area and dip inside for hours. We took a few pictures and shared some laughters too. 

After dipping in the volcanic mud, we went back to the sea and had a quick swim to clean off all the mud on our body. We continued to have fun with volleyball and Frisbee. We had our dinner around 730pm and went for a karaoke and pool session.

I think I took a few pictures with the snake. it was rather a relaxing day. We went the Jarrod & Rawlin at night to chill and catch up with each other. I guess, we shared quite a lot of our love experience during the session. Knowing ourselves more.

4/5

Looking forward for another trip to somewhere! xD
