"Boom boom Teh Tehh...", that's the sound i heard once i step into a place where i know its not my cup of tea. The ambience was kinda insecure with intricacy engulfing the entire area. Different sorts of people were present, showing of promiscuity and the sexy dance motion. Insecurity were felt by myself but i was fine after a while. Yes, my second club, REBEL.Kenny Goh did not turn up for the clubbing session as he had family gathering. Well, forget about it. So i was left with the girls. Sat down to discuss on place to go and eventually, we went to REBEL! Initially, we intended to go to Butter Factory as my bro is the VIP. Well, its not our luck. Its their special occassion yesterday! Sigh. Was bounced by bouncer. Reached Rebel at 12am. Dancing has all along been my flaws as i have a pretty stiff body. However, i took some time to eradicate this perception and tried my best to blend with the music. I thought i did enjoy very much as it has been a while! Seriously, its fun dancing with so many people together and enjoying very single music they play. Its a bonus if u know the music/song well. At that instance between 12am-3am, in the nutshell, words to describe were intricate, insecure, high, fun, groovy, enjoyable, techno, uncontrollable and good exposure.To clubbers, this may sound common and redundant to state. But as a non-clubber like me, i felt that its a good experience that i thought i wanna jot down! Its good exposure! Oh ya, i remember this China guy dancing alone, kept hitting me on the dance floor.The worse is, he is seriousl eccentric with uncanny dance moment that makes me laugh out loud throughout! Haha.. Went off after a 2.5hrs of 'dance'. Haha. While walking out, saw Andrea and said HI to her. Couldn't have the chance to chat with her as i am going off at that time. Never mind, will see her on Friday! Haha.Sorry no pics, only a few. But i wanna thank Jas, Yaya, and Rups for giving me a gift that acts as a lucky charm or good luck gift for my NS! THANKS A MILLION! I love the cab! Yeah, shall end here. Update a few more post before enlistment!Labels: For sure

Hello, back to blog again. Time flies like nobody's business! Look at the date today, its 24th of February! Its about 10 more days to NS and 9 more days to A level results. Oh gosh, if only it could be pushed back.
Well, i told myself that i will have to face it. Face the tough training in Pulau Tekong. 8 weeks PTP is seriously a turn off and a huge burden that caused myself to worry most of the days. However, i will pull through it!
Lets talk about the past few days. Saturday was 人日, which falls on the 7th day of Lunar New Year! So as usual I thought we will be having Yu Sheng together as a family with my aunt, uncles and cousins. I remember last Wednesday my aunt told me to have Yu Sheng together. So i thought we will be going in to her house for Yu Sheng. However, she didn't tell my parents about it. So i called her that day to ask. She said that she will be going over to our house for Yu Sheng after her work at 4pm. Surprisingly after my meet up with Zhuang Wei, dad told me that they are not coming. At that instance, i felt that i was being fooled and thought that how naive i am. That aunt may not be that simple as i think. Sigh, guess i should be more cautious with her next time.In the end, my family go ahead with the LOU HEI!
Met up with Zhuang Wei was ok. He told me lots of things about Army. Had Sakae Sushi that is so ex! But i am fine as FINALLY i got to meet up with him. Haha. Thanks for telling me info about NS, i will try my best.
Went visiting to Kat's place on Saturday night. Was given a jar of pineapple tarts! Better design relative to the one a few weeks ago! Taste is slighly better!
Went K after that at TOP ONE KTV! The sound system is so much better than Kbox! Sing till 1.50am and home weet home!
Sunday my Bro's friends came(Sec sch). They were as high as the past! Went to Uncle's place for MJ after that till 3am. Was helping my bro recuperate! Haha!
Met up with Kenny and Kat ytd till late for chatting and food!
So thats all. Running today in the afternoon was ok. Need to run more! Gtg, what's next?

Yo, am back to blog. Chu 4 night, won $40 MJ. Went to Cousin Sis Carol's house to accompany her. Next up, was thinking that should i visit SRJC the next day, since SRJC is just a stone throw away from my cousin's house. Haha. Woke up at 10am on Thursday after a good night dreamy sleep under 23 degree celcius air con. It has been a while! Walked to SRJC at 11am with Jack. I was halted by the security as he said i have no reason the enter the college, so i am not allowed to go in. I was like WTH!! Fruitless trip? So when Jack came out of the college after getting his cheque, I thought of a wise solution to get in! The Indian security went off for a break and here comes the usual security. So i told Jack to tell uncle that he forgot to take something while a few minutes later i will catch up with his letter in hand. Eventually, we succeeded!
Talked to Mdm Noor, Miss Ong, Miss Debbie Tan, Mrs Esther Tan and Mrs Phay. Time seriously flies! Mrs Ting saw me but turned away(Wa never give face)! So didn't talk to her. At 12, went to the canteen for lunch. Guess what did i eat?
YONG TAU FU! The taste is still there. The aunty still remembers me. Haha. Reminisce those thursday morning. Haha!
I sat exactly at this place, seeing those new faces(JC1)! The look smarter relative to us but not sure in terms of results are they really good. All the best to them. I sat at a good spot viewing drink stall aunty. LOL! That aunty is still the same, placing the change on the table instead of the student's hands! LOL! Damn funny la. So i purposely buy drinks from her. And when she places her hand to retrieve my coins, i deliberately place it on the table! Haha!(Nair nair Nee Poo poo!)
Just making fun out of it. No other intention. In fact, i felt a bit weird in SR canteen as me and jack are wearing home clothes. Haha. Just weird. Next up, Marcus and Yoke Hung joined!
Went home, wash up, and off I go to the airport to bid farewell to Simon(again). Was late 15mins, but i was the earliest! (Pictures on facebook)
Reach home at 9plus 10pm. And thats the end of the day!

Good afternoon. Third day of Chinese New Year was quite boring. Initially invited Darlings to my house but they can't make it. So next time. Went to my Grandaunty house for CNY visit! As usual the 'fish market' ambience were there. LOL. But i would say its good to experience the feel once in a blue moon.
Sat on the chairs for quite some time after walking for 1 hrs plus through those crowds! Mum's tired and hence off we go. However, i wanna take a ride on the sky rider before i go! It looks attractive to me and it has been a while ever since i take a thrilling ride. Pay up($7.50) and off i go!
I tell u, its so fun! I screamt aka shouted throughout! But the pressure is quite high at a certain point that i couldn't take it. Overall, its really fun and exciting. Worth it! Who wants to take the ride, call me! Haha
Yeah, thats all for that day. Had stomach ache that nigh due to the Jelly taken that day! Day 4 of CNY was really another ordinary day. Got an Hong Bao from colleague Huang Ling at Robinsons Raffles City! Haha! At night, play Mahjong till 12am and won $40! Woohoo! That night luck was really at my side! Went cousin house to accompany her! Next day SRJC visit!
To be continue....

Woke up at 9.05am in the morning as Sis Carol called me to tell me the plans on that day! OMG its really early. But eventually pull myself up reluctantly and met her at 11.30am. Went to pray and then next up meet Samuel(my cousin) at IMM! Had AJISEN RAMEN! Its delicious! After that, shop around the place where all shops are closed! LOL! So uncle fetch them home at 4pm! Next, was early to go to my Aunt's place, hence uncle fetch Sis carol and I to TOWN! Quite crowded in Town! Robinsons was opened that day. Bought a full length in-sole for my new pair of shoe as it is really quite loose due to smooth texture of my socks. It keeps on slipping out! LOL! Its bcos of the socks i suppose! The Evalast shoe disappoint me! Sigh!
Stan is proud to use his first credit card that has benefits using at any Robinsons Group of Stores, which is OCBC Robinsons Visa Platinum!
Went to walk around 313 till 6pm. I felt kinda weird shopping on 初二. Well, next my dad picked me up and drove ourselves to Aunt house for STEAMBOAT! Overall, not that bad!
Lazy to upload photos. Anyway only took a few blur pictures, so dun intend to upload! That's for now! Continue tmr! Bye =)

Ok, shall continue from the previous post. After photo taking, went to my Uncle's godmother's house. She is 90 years old and is bounded on a wheelchair for years. I almost teared when i saw her that day as i can feel how much she wanted to communicate with us but was unable to pronounce properly. We tried our best to talk to her. For that 1 hr, i felt that she was really happy that we(as a family) came to visit her! I felt that she was reluctant to let us go judging from the fact that she hold my hands very tightly! My heart softened! Eventually, went off without turning back as i am afraid i might sob. Next destination, mum's bro's house at Teck Whye! Labels: I love cny

Hello, 恭喜发财, 新年快了. It's the annual Lunar New Year. Hereby wishing all a good health and best of luck in everything you do. This year is the year of the Tiger, hope everyone will be as ambitious and brave as the tiger and break many barriers in 2010!
This year's visiting is kinda boring and i dunno why. I dun really have the mood this year. Perhaps its due to NS enlistment date drawing nearer and i am kinda nervous. In addition, i felt that its like so recent. Its not very long after the last visit to my relatives house. Hence, the routine make me feel nothing special and nonchalent with relatives. There is only 1 thing that i felt ok, which is to play with those kids!
Well, i will still hold my tradition of blogging everything down from day till present! Let me begin!
DAY 1!
Woke up at 10.15am on 初一 and got washed up asap. However, ironically, i was the one that took the longest time to get dressed up and groom myself! My bro(usually) will take the longest time to groom himself but this time round, i am there one! Haha. Well, i wanna look the best out of me, so i need more time u see! Haha. Overall, we were pretty late this year, set off to my uncle's house at 12nn, while it would be about 11am for most years!
Once we were at my uncle's house, the usual routine begins. I received warmth wishes and sincere hand-shaking while some were superficial(Like omg!). Well, its normal. I felt that i am really grown up and think of those days when we were young. The changes is quite drastic for me, in terms of looks and character. Many of those cousins of mine change for the better too, am so glad! We sat together to have our lunch!
After which(1.30pm), by right its time to play POKER CARDS! However, due to time constrain, we couldn't play but to sit down to have some chatting session. My close cousins abruptly took out her camera and suggested photo taking session. I was elated!
Sit back and relax for this family photo gallery of STANLEY HO's family!
Picture 1 to 3-My lovely cousins and my brother! Althogh there is age gap, i am very glad and proud that we are close and in relatively good relationship! Thanks cousins!
Pic4-My lovely parents. Thanks for everything =)
Pic 5-My cousin Josephine. U save my face and u r partly responsible for my outlook which has improved quite a bit! Thanks!
Pic 6- MY FAMILY! I think we all look real good!
Pic 7- My uncle's family(Dad's elder bro)!
Shall stop here, taking a break. More to come. To be continue.....

Greetings. Its the once-in-a-year reunion dinner for all family. To me, reunion dinner is significant. It is an occasion that gathers all family members together to interact and be bonded as a family. I felt a sense of rootedness when all my family members have dinner together in the once in a year CNY eve.
As usual, we had STEAMBOAT! Although its kinda routine to have it every year, its ok for us as we do not consume it on other day, so its like something diffirent. Its heartwarming, joyful, happy and enjoyable while having it yesterday night, really!
The few dishes(uncooked)! Had the abalone contributed by myself! Its really succulent and tasty! Bravos to NEWMOON PREMIUM ABALONE from New Zealand! =) And thats Cheese toufu(Pic 4)! Guys, try it, its really delicious!
I seriously love the feeling of togetherness and treasure the moments currently with them as i will be enlisting to NS soon! Like soon!
Next up, went to Uncle's house for MAHJONG! I didn't intend to play but went there to the feel of it. Eventually, went off at 11.55pm(like so late) and i DASH home! Yes, dash like a cheetah(if only i could be faster) home. Normally i will only be able to get home after 15-20mins walk. I took only 5 mins to dash home! BUT, i am still late for the countdown(30 sec)! SIGH!!! I felt disappointed as i will be able to count down for CNY. Well, what to do. In the end, pray, wish neighbour, watch that channel 8 tv programme, bath and sleep! I slepy on the spot once i lied on my bed(VERY VERY TIRED). Next up, it will be the official day of Chinese New Year 2010!

Yo guys, am 1/2 dead as i have finished playing overnight Mahjong at Yaya's house! Agreed to go to her house to have a game overnight till the morning. In the past, i will definitely be reluctant to go. But well, i just go for it as its once in a while and is near CNY. Perhaps i just dun like to feel tired during CNY eve. But well, its over.Met up with Jas yaya and Rups at Cine for movie. Had Kobayashi($8.80-share omelette with Rups and a special set)for dinner. The standard has dropped i suppose! After which, went to buy tix for movie. Unfortunately, its selling fast and most were sold out! In the end, went to TIONG BAHRU PLAZA for the movie titled "Valentine's Day".($4-coffe bean b4 entering)The show wasn't that fantastic but surprisingly i think its nice. Its sweet but funny at some part of the show. Its worth watching with your loved ones as it diversifies your perception on relationship and the happenings during Valentines Day in Los Angeles. After movie, had McChicken($2)! Next stop is Mahjong session(Cab=$4)!Started from 4am till 10am! 6hrs we played 2.5(DONG) rounds so to speak! Initially was ok but as time passes, my eyes are closing and couldn't concentrate well. In the end, lost $12 again! ( Like again! Shitty luck)My luck seriously cannot make it, lost $20 to 3 players on thursday playing with family members and now? another $12. Sigh. Oh gosh, when is the next time that i am going to win?(New Year=New Hope)Went home str8 after playing(cab=$8) as i am damn tired. Right now, my eyes are opened quarterly! I shall sleep now! Sleep till 5pm!-5hrs only =(But i have got to say, the process was quite enjoyable with nonsense uttering from those sleepy faces and the monotonous singing by YAYA! LOL!Tata. Reunion dinner next! =)I am the "god of fortune"Labels: Money money money

Hello. Back to blog again. Monday was a day that i need to clear things in my house. Basically its household chores.
Nothing much, its just pure cleaning the windows and the cupboards in my house! Boring but am ready for Chinese New Year!
In the evening, went to Commonwealth to meet Jas Kenny and Yaya, cos its Yaya's birthday! Had ZI CHAR! It was ok the taste but not fantastic! Overall satisfactory!
I love the chocolate indulgance cake! Very nice! Ate the whole piece even when i am damn full!
Sat at the void deck to chat! Hmm eventually went home at 11.45pm. Jas said something b4 i went home, which i can feel that she is affected! Well, so i called up yesterday to sort out
In the nutshell, i can seriously feel that I am just too ignorant and too self centred! I didn't put myself in their shoe and think. I was deemed as a MOOD SPOILER, which i felt apologetic! Not sure whether they can feel it after they chat, but i am.
I will try to ammend this to the better, hopefully!

Shall have a random post before going out later. Will update on yesterday this evening!
As u guys may know Stan was once, not too long ago, shoe promoter. He heard that actually, shoe promoters, mostly, do not like to buy shoes. A few pairs of shoes are sufficient and will buy it again when its spoilt.
However, Stan has proven this wrong. In total from Jan till today, he has bought a total of 4 pairs of shoes! 4 pairs! LOL! I never buy so many pairs in my life before within a short period of time. All i've got to say that i like every single pair except the brown, which i dun really like the design but buy it as i need a pair of brown shoes(Jetsetters)! Haha..
I love the boatman shoe(Top right) the most. All along after Alevels i wanna get a pair of boatman shoe but couldn't find one that is within my budget and is attractive to me. Eventually i found 1 in Johor and is really cheap! Love it lots, especially the colour, quite English!
Everlast shoe(black) is the most ex! Its not bad after wearing it but its a little common i guess. But since i bought it, will maximise it! Haha
The brown shoes cost only $20!(bottom left) Cheap right? But dun really like it a lot! Just buy cos its cheap and quite comfortable! I need a brown shoe cos i dun have 1! The design is really average! Haha! Look a little AH BENG! Well, nvm!Lastly, bought this pair of shoe(bottom right) for NEW LOOK! $29.90. It look stylish to me and quite comfy! Difficult to find this type of design. So i got it! 2nd favourite out of the 4! Haha
Ok, enough said! Be back for updates soon!
PS:This Chinese New Year i will have lots and lots of shoes! Woohoo!Labels: I love shoes

Hello, here to update on Sunday. Here i go!
No plans for Sunday. Just wanna stay at home to clear my avalanch of books that are on my table. Its kinda messy and untidy. Packed for 20 mins and we(my bro, my dad & I) decided to go to my Mum's shop. So my dad fetched us there at about 1 plus.
Once there, had our usual Hainanese Curry rice! Its indeed delicious! Was not that hungry but eventually had 2 plates of rice! Haha!
Next, sat at my mum's shop and chat! Bridge up some "gaps" between me and bro. Next up, decided to go to purchase some flowers for Chinese New Year! Here we go!
These are the 2 pots of "flowers" that we bought yesterday! I think its worth the price!(Sorry cannot post it below due to technical fault!)
After that, went to pass my cousin's shoe from itti & otto! After which, home sweer home.
That's all for the day =) CNY coming! Woohoo!!

Hello, how's your day? Woke up early today(like again!) Sigh. Felt a little feverish last night at my cousin's place! And i lack sufficient sleep. Maybe afternoon nap this afternoon? Shall see howOk, back to the topic. Planned to go to Johor 2 weeks ago with my bro. The purpose is to get a nice hair cut for this coming Chinese New Year and of course to shop around. Woke up at 8.30am and get ready. Set of at 10.15am and reach there at about 12.45pm. I tell u, the journey was seriously tiring, judging from the fact that i lack sufficient sleep. The journey towards the checkpoint(Johor) was such as feat to pull through. This is because, the jam at the cross over was really bad. In addition, there is this family with 4-5 children, OMG they were such a nuisance, screaming and crying, cannot take it! Well, after alighting, i felt so much better.However, i felt a little insecure there, cos moreover I am not in my own country. Straight away go to make an appointment for haircut but eventually, its full. So went to have lunch first and plan later. Had HONG KONG CAFE KIM GARY! The food is really cheap and nice! Seriously! Hmm, from their service, i dare say Malaysians are really diligent! They are nice people and is always helpful as and when customers need. Ovation to them!(7.5-8/10)!Next up, walk aimlessly at CITY SQUARE and saw this store having clearance sale! Lots of SHOES available, selling at cheap price and the design is nice! Really! My bro haven't buy his shoes for New Year. After some time, both of us bought a pair each!(STAN ONCE AGAIN SUCCUMB TO THE TEMPTATION OF BUYING SHOES!) LOL!Its a boatman shoe! Love it lots and it cost only $41 Sing dollar! Shall upload pic asap! Next up, went to cut my hair at RM $40 at Jean Yip. Was satisfied with the trimming! Home sweet home after that as bro need to go for Bday party! Went to meet my cousin after that!Well, i wanna say something. I felt really fortunate when i was there yesterday. My bro asked the sales assistant yesterday about her age and her pay for working as a shoe promoter. Let me reveal to you readers. Its 1 hrs RM3.50 and 1% commission! I was so shock to hear that! ONLY 3.50Rm! That's really pathetic for a 16 year old student! Yes, perhaps in Johor SOL is lower but 3.50 is far too little! Stan is also selling shoes in Singapore and is paid S$5 and $1 per pair of shoes sold as commission! I seriously pity them and wish most of them can come to Singapore to earn $! Their working attitude is really positive especially teenagers(my age or slightly younger) They push their sales and put in their best to serve(although not very good service relative to S'poreans). I felt the sincerity in them when serving me! OvationIn the nutshell, i would say i learn something just by going there for a few hours and be SATISFIED with my life right now in Singapore! TIll then!Labels: Johor trip
12:11 AM
Yo, back to blog again about yesterday! Here i go.
Well, the title speaks it all. Intend to spend the whole day with my JC friends. Just meet up for lunch and chatting sessions on SRJC and whatever we can talk about.
Met up with Kenneth at 12nn at Cenetial Tower at Millenia Walk! Yesterday was dress down day! Saw lots of adults going for lunch at that hour. Well, still see the familiar Kenneth's face after waiting or about 5 minutes! After hitting it off, decided to eat JUST ACIA(AGAIN!) for lunch. I dun mind really, just wanna eat rice at a reasonable price.
Special Set T was what i had(Chicken Katsu set). Bridge some gaps between us(about working life and NS stuffs). It was enjoyable i guess. Photos!
Next up, shopping with Jack after Kenneth left for office as we wait for Cheryl Yoke and Marcus to come! Went to this "NEW LOOK" store at Suntec City! i wanted to buy a pair of shoe that cost $19.90 that time but i didn't. So now, i saw another design that looks nicer but priced at $29.90. Was thinking whether to get it and in the end, i got it! Was contented to have it. Next, met Cheryl and a while more Marcus and Yoke. Glad that they are fine so far in JC2! Jia You man!
Had Carl's Junior for lunch for both marcus and Yoke! Saw this bunch of VJC JC1's, OMG thats really big. Well, i would say they flood the whole City Hall area! LOL. Had some laughters here and there. Not too bad =)
Cheryl left for her friends and left the 4 guys. Sat at STARBUCKS and then Kenny is here. Marcus wanted to buy shoes(like the one i bought at NEW LOOK), so went to SUNTEC(AGAIN!)
In the nutshell, not suitable and no size, hence go for dinner at SUBWAY! Chat again!
Childish Kenny sat on this machine and rock like a child after SUBWAY! Pulled Jack along to join the "fun"! Seriously damn childish! LOL!
HOME SWEET HOME after that as everyone is really tired!
Well, i hope u guys can come to my house during CNY to have fun ok? Will let u guys know the date! Tata!

Hello, shall update my blog again! Went to Kat's place yesterday(Thursday) to help out with Pastries making. Pineapple tarts were the highlight for that day. Did in total 10 bottles(3 big 7 small) from 12nn to 8.30pm. It was really tedious wrapping pineapple fillings into the dough. OMG! Well, let me share the procedure!
Reach her house at 11.30am, chat a bit and started making at 12nn. I was really elated when i first a pineapple tart all by myself after guidance from Kat. This is my 1st tart!!
Really learn quite fast after only 5 mins of teaching from Kat and i can produce this result, applaudable i gues.
However, as the clock tickles, my patient level starts to drop gradually! I wasn't doing as good as those made initially! Some small while some big. In addition, there are cracks on the skin! Oh my god, i just couldn't take it! Its definitely not my cup of tea. Although its dragging, i persisted and finish making 10 bottles in total!
Before entering the oven and after entering the oven. Taste good i would say! Went to help her out as she has lots of orders to settle! Well, i just go or fun and also help out in one way or another. Day not wasted!After which, went to JUST ACIA for dinner at Dhoby Ghaut Xchange! Then acc Kat as she wanted a puff. Talk a little and i was shock! My phone went missing! I quickly ran up again! But Kat told me that she didn;t see me taking HP out! So i ran to Just Acia to ask if they have kept it! Luckily my phone was with them! Thank god it wasn't gone! Pheww! Careless Stanley! Need to correct this mistake!!Went to meet Jas Kenny and Rups at City Hall for just a haphazard meet up! Waited for my dad to come fetch me at 12.45am. Then Home Sweet Home!Labels: Another day
I felt i am quite grown up. I flipped back to the old entries(Feb2009 and Feb2008), i felt that i am getting more mature, better looking and slightly more sensible. Haha! Well, Chinese New Year is a time where i will be making new wishes and hope it will come true that year! Haha. Thats all for Day 1! Day 2, will blog probably tonight! Definitely a short entry cos nothing much! Haha! See ya
