~Do YoU KnOw?!~
saw tis on e MRT last nite~
In Singapore,
40% = O Type
30% = B Type
25% = A Type
5% = AB Type
oso got to knw tis from my bro who studies Biology in his JC...
Human blood type is determine by 2tubes which u inherit each from both ur parents... so it could be AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, or OO... if u are AA or AO = A Type, & if u are BB or BO = B Type, cos the A & B is the stronger type compare to O...
Example: in my family~
Dad = AB Type
Mum = B Type
Sis = A Type
therefore, from tis we can knw that my Mum is actually BO type & Sis is AO... my Sis inherit my Dad's A & my Mum's O... so she's A Type... cos as i mentioned b4, A Type is stronger than O...
my Bro & me are both B Type... the possibilities for us could be
(a) we inherit Dad's B & Mum's B, then we are BB or
(b) we inherit Dad's B & Mum's O, which is BO oso make us B Type...
guess for us, we gotta wait till we have our own children then we can deduce liao... hehe =P
Bro say tis are the typical Qns in exam wor... to deduce the correct Blood Type... hahaha... pretty cool riteeee...

~i aLsO wAnT LaH!~
Didn't really enjoyed my wkend... but anyhow, it has passed... ('(o0)')
Sis & hubby changed their mind & decided to go "jalan jalan" on Sat 1st instead of heading down to Komoco straight to get the Getz... Rhyme huh?! keke.. i always like the name of tis car... R'ber then when i was v.puzzled on whether to get one too, i'll have tis as my msn nick, "Hyundai Getz, to get or not to get"... haha =P ok back to Sis & hubby, they were supposed to go "jalan" then come home discuss & decide b4 going down again on Sun for the purchase... the shortlisted were Hyundai Getz, Honda Jazz & Mitsubishi Colt... but after going to Honda, they dealed Jazz on the spot at $64K with full body kit done... my brother-in-law was damn "chong dong", damn "buay lun", damn "jialat" sia... lucky i nber go along... if not, tink i'll get brainwashed too... Lolx!
Boss Raymond finally decided to get a house with his wife after ROM for a yr plus... he was caught in a pretty difficult position actually... he had a joint flat with his Dad in Woodlands & due to some family issues he couldn't redraw his name out... & blah blah blahhhh... Anyway, after confirming tt he's still able to buy a unit as long as he redraw his name from the joint flat with his dad before he moved in, he immediately settled on a unit in La Casa (the EC my sis bought too) on the spot over the wkend... steady sia... another chop chop curry pok... how come ppl ard me all make decision v.fast de... but i tink till my white hair come out still nber make any moves on getting the thgs i want... haha =P well, i tink it's pretty cool cos my boss & sister are gonna be neighbours... keke... there's no reason y i'll be keep out from the EC when i've 2 close buddies living in there... Ray's mother-in-law happens to knw someone from Far East Organization & could give him a gd discount... so i wasn't able to get sis to be his reference... the referral fee was ard $2K for both party (not for me lah, is for my sis & boss) leh... tt's juz too bad... but anyhow, i'm still happy for my boss yah... he has always been a Big Brother to me mah... guess most prob will hear wedding bells ringing next yr loh... better start saving now liao...

~aLoT ppL BuYiNG CaR wOr~
went to Hyundai & Kia showroom with my colleagues during lunch last wk... cos my Maintenance manager got into an accident last mth while riding his bike home in JB... He's a Singapore PR but comes to & fro everyday from JB to wrk... so after the accident, his wife forbids him from riding bike anymore... cos he hurt his leg quite badly in the accident... even till now still limping... Al'tot he ald owns a Nissan in JB but Singaporean & PR are not allowed to drive M'sia car in Singapore... tt's the rule lah... if not, all Singaporean will have buy their cars in JB liao... juz acrossed the causeway but the price is huge diff... So he got no choice but to get a Singapore car... anyway, he got $$$ lah... manager leh... hehe =P
He v.lucky sia... cos tis month COE is the lowest since the past dunno how many yrs... so it's the best time for him to get one... he doesn't need a big one cos he only use it to come wrk, somemore is alone loh... in JB, he still drives his Nissan out with his wife & 2 kids...
1st, we went to Hyundai... the best choice for small car is Getz... OOooooo *drool drool* nice model... i like... LoLx!
i took tis with my hp at the showroom... Nice riteeee!!! keke
1.3L 5door auto at $46,888
1.6L 5door auto at $50,888 then we went to Kia Motors... another small car to consider is Picanto...
tis one oso quite cute lah...
1.1L auto at $43,999
somemore 1st yr insurance & 1st installment included...
lagi cheap rite...
in the end, he settled on Getz... cos Picanto gotta wait for 4wks but Getz latest next tues can collect liao... chop chop sia... *envy* i oso longed to own a car... one of my aim since i started wrkg was to get one when i'm 25... hehe... i got my licence yrs back... but i havent been driving since then & my skill ald rusty liao... R'ber the other time when i was driving & DaR almost had a heart attack sitting beside me... Lolx!
Sis & hubby getting a car too... they going to the showroom tis Sat... & had somehow ald settled on Hyundai Getz... but they getting 1.6L 3doors one... damn unfriendly sia... shld buy 5doors then we passengers easier to "tobang" mah... Lolx! but they v.steady... juz bought an EC then now buy car... but i like...... cos i always close close with my sis mah... *wink* so they shld knw wat to do lah hoh... hahahaha

~HaPPY TiMeS aLwAyS sEeMs So sHoRt~
Al'tot i'm still kinda moody but tink i still gotta start somewhere on the blogging... So here it goes......
Went Genting over the wkend with DaR & my NUS gang... juz a 2D/1N short trip... al'tot tis wasn't my 1st time to Genting but i was still v.excited... it was kinda last min when we made tis decision so only a few of us were able to make it... Mel couldn't make it & we have 3 couples on tis trip so Eric was feeling awkward abt it... offered him to stay in DaR & my room, but he refused... Fine lor! but was glad that he managed to drag his friend, Joan along the v.last min if not i knew he were sure backout...
Set off at 10.30pm sharp on Friday... i was still worrying tt i won't be able to go to sleep on the journey after the bad experience during my previous 10hrs Penang trip (@_@)... but it didn't turn out tt bad cos probably i was real tired after a long day at wrk, so i dozed off in no time after we set off from our 1st rest point... & the next min when i woke up, we are up on Genting Highlands... We don't even have to stop midway to take the cable car...
it was ard 5am in the morning... Freezing cold when i alighted the bus... I was pretty shocked to see the queue @ the lobby for just a normal wkend... We were only allowed to check-in in the afternoon... So we left our laggages at the Concierge & went for breakfast... shared a big breakfast meal with DaR cos i don't want any of the scrambled eggs coming out from my mouth after a few rides @ the theme park wor... keke =P
Theme Park opens only at 8am & it was still early after breakfast... so we walked ard to take fotos...
DaR has always being quite gd @ foto-taking...
As he always claimed, "my dad was a photographer
& i managed to inherit some of his skills u knw..." (-_-")
Nice view up @ Genting yah...
DaR took tis for me...
I oso quite gd with my photography rite... Nice?!
mE & DaR with nice background...
One of my fav pic on tis trip...
We bought tickets for all the rides at RM34... but later realised that most of the rides were closed... The Space Shot ride tt DaR was most looking forward to was oso down for maintenance as well... guess he was pretty disappointed...
We still tried out all other rides that were available... Like Super Toboggan, Flying Coaster, Spinner, Bumper Boat, etc...
Spinner
Bumper Boat
I was pretty impressed by myself for having the courage to try out all the rides... some even Eric & Wei-ge didn't dare to neh... DaR oso tink i'm v.steady okieee... he normally always say i "gu niang" de... keke =P
We finished all rides at 11am & proceed back to the hotel waiting to check-in... tis is the part tt pissed me off BIG TIME... We had to queue for 3 HRS for the check-in when we were like the 1st few in queue... the queue behind was even longer than our 4D/Toto counters in Singapore during the annual CNY million dollars draw... & their management was damn jialat oso lor... Its obvious tt some of the ppl are cutting queue from the sides & they actually still serve them as per normal... dunno they blind or wat...
& the best part was yet to come... after the 3 freaking hrs of queueing, we tot we could finally go back to the room to take a shower & nap before our evening activities... but to our horror, the room wasn't even packed yet when we entered... @#$%^&*@#$% wat the *toot* maan!!! the rooms aren't ready & they actually allowed ppl to check-in... i almost vomit blood on the spot... i called & screwed the housekeeping dept upside down... 10mins later the poor housekeeper came... & he was all alone... & there were like more than 20rooms on our level that weren't packed... We kinda pity him cos he was panting & can see that he was really trying hard to do everythg nicely for us... so gave him some tips when our rooms are done... Hiaks...
Well i tell u, tis will be my 1st & last time staying in 1st World Hotel... I'll rather spend a few more bucks than to waste my time on queueing & having to stand by the door watching them housekeep the no scenery, small, pathetic room... NEVER!!!
Tis is the lobby of 1st world hotel...
machiam look like scenes in the movies where all the ppl running for their lives
& taking this place as a hideout...
Where got any hotel lobby got so many ppl sitting on the floor de...
Group foto-taking at Kenny Roger during dinner...
another pic i like alot...
After dinner, we went KTV till 2am... then DaR & me stayed @ the casino till 4plus... erh...... conclusion is we lost $$$ lah... tt's all... nothing much to blog abt... Lolx!
Still consider a fulfilling trip lah...
Back home on board Konsotium Bus... Yeah!!!

it's raining cats & dogs early tis morning... XYZ sia... wat a way to start the wk with... was having difficulties getting outta bed... al'tot tt's pretty normal everyday but its worse when it's raining... yesterday was youth day & all schools enjoy holiday-in-lieu 2day... so my sis & bro was still snoring in bed when i leave the house for wrk... shiok rite... no monday blues... somemore can escape from the getting drenched & the bad traffic... NOT FAIR!!!
havent been blogging past days cos my labtop was abducted AGAIN... by who u shld have guess eh... DaR took my labtop from me last Sat after dropping by for dinner... he claimed that i needa concentrate on my exam so being v.helpful to "take care" of it for me... then for the rest of the wk, i didn't have the chance to get it back till yesterday... v.unfriendly sia... Hmph...
It's been ages i catch a movie... dont even r'ber the last show i watched... i felt so outdated when friends & colleagues started discussing abt how sexy Angelina Jolie was in Mr & Mrs Smith, how cool the racing was in Initial D & how gd the effects were in War of the World... wanted to watch Mr & Mrs Smith or maybe Initial D... But DaR wanted to watch War of the world instead... so we settled on Inital D at 9.45pm & War of the World at 12.20am... keke =P tis is the 2nd time DaR & me chiong 2 movies in a row... but now wkend watch movie is damn ex sia... & we normally booked online to avoid the queueing... additional $1 for booking fee... so $40 for 2 shows... plus a popcorn set tt cost $8 with a free War of the World towel... well, i tink it's still better than clubbing al'tot the price is abt the same as paying for the cover charges... but at least u dont smell when u come out from the cinema rite...
DaR love Inital D alot... u knw lah, those typical guys who'll go crazy when they see cool & fierce racing cars... Jay Chou keeps reminding me of Wu Bai everytime i see him... & Esther cannot take it everytime i tell her so... cos he's her idol u knw... she even put him as her msn icon u knw... those die hard fan juz like the sec sch kids u knw... LoLx! he looks ok lah in the movie... but he can't act maaan... Ooops... tink Esther gonna kill me for tis... hahaha... =P the one person that i'm still drooling over till now was Edison Chen... he's damn cool, damn handsome, damn oohh lah lah... my kinda guy neh... *drool drool*
For those who are interested on knwing abt the title...
The D of the title stands for drifting, a racing technique of braking the rear tires loose in a controlled manner right before an uncontrolled skid. Drifting is the faster way through a corner. A car is considered to be drifting when all of its wheels are slipping, but the front wheels are still pointed in the direction of the corner, or at least straight.
As for War of the World... not much comments... maybe cos i ald heard alot abt the show even b4 i watched it, so everythg was kinda expected... or perhaps i was still tinkg abt my Edison... Lolx!
There are alot new shows coming up... like Fantastic Four, The Island, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, etc... I'll make sure i catch tis few during sneak preview so i can hao lian & tell what the whole show is abt to others b4 they watch it... then they'll knw how irritating it is maaan... Lolx!
