Pasir Ris Pet Farm
where cheap dogs and marine fish are available.
so come on down and take a look around.
:D
seems as though im doing some advertisement.
went with yingting to the farm for a visit.

scorching sun with never ending breeze

sea slugs

sea urchins

STARfish

lionfish

torny filefish

brime shrimp

food for the marines

wadsup!!

im too cool for you...

tingting's favourite ;D

baby moral eel

we came across this unique marine shop.

something that caught our eyes.

its Nautilus.

something not common in Singapore.

Nautilus is similar in general form to other cephalopods, with a prominent head and tentacles. Nautiluses typically have more tentacles than other cephalopods, up to ninety.

the spiral marking on the shell are sexy

i wanna own one of this magnificent creature.

anyone wanna sponser! 95bucks each.

farms are effing fun if you dont mind the stench from the animals.

lots of puppies.effing cute.

but not allowed to take any pictures.

therefore not much of pup pix.

ting was so far-ni when she hears a dog bark.

hope aftermath of this trip can help to curb her phobia for dogs a little.

2009-02-15T07:58:00.000-08:00

my friends have been wondering what kinda job i'm currently doing for attachment.
so i thought i should snap some pictures to give them a clearer view.
working as either a graphic designer or a interior designer wasn't easy.
as a designer,

2008-07-09T07:30:00.001-07:00

After school we had rowing at Seletar Reservoir.
It was extra sea training so not much rowers came down.
5 senior boys and 12 junior boys and the girls.
The shed sucks.
It’s so damn humid and dark.
Who knows wads growing inside?
I got bitten by sand fly causing my left leg to itch.

Bought some cakes from coffee bean after training.

We had our mock interview yesterday.
The atmosphere was so tense yet hilarious.
When it was my turn.
I guess I make a gooogahh out of this segment.
Everyone laugh the shit out of it.

MrPuru: Did you have any difficulty finding your way here?
Shawn: No. I took a taxi here.

my lips look blueish due to my bands.

2008-06-25T10:48:00.001-07:00

Few more days before study break ends.
Gonna make full use of it.
We decided to hit the beach today.
It was hell lots of fun even though there were only 4 of us.
But poor Denise was running a slight fever.
Zi xuan was so thrilled when we got off the monorail.
We ended up in the wrong tram.
And we trail entire Palawan beach.

I freaking witness a drown incident today.
It was horrid.
Won’t go into details.
FRIENDS, if you wanna try any water sport activity.
PLEASE PUT ON A LIFEVEST.

2008-06-24T10:59:00.000-07:00

Patrick printed out nutrition list for us.
Because this coming sat/sun is June race!!
We have to abide these “rules” .
For this week race and all other race.

Sports nutrition before race day.
Consume more complex carbohydrates food day before.
Takes longer time to breakdown, hence can be stored longer in energy system
E.g. (Pasta, potatoes, corn, oats whole meal bread)
On race day, start with solid breakfast.eg: cereal with low fat milk. Make sure it is at least 3hrs before race to allow food to digest.
Snack on food with simple sugar throughout the race day in moderation to keep energy level high.eg: sports drink, energy bar, water, bread or fruits.

Foods to avoid before race
Food high in fat content must be avoided as it is harder to digest and may cause stomach cramps and aches from indigestions.eg:ice-cream,doughnuts,fries and large quantity of meat

Post race nutrition
It is important to eat well after race as muscles need nutrients to repair broken muscle cells and recover. Eat more protein and carb to replenish energy system.eg pasta, fish, and chicken and fruits.non-friend stuff.
Rest well and avoid alcohol throughout race duration.

Patrick: settle your own makan.
Girls: *so troublesome*
Patrick: I don’t want to see any hello panda or pokey!
Team: burst into laughter.

Some mofos don’t come often for training.
And yet they get to row in the race.
Isn’t it fugly unfair to those regulars.

2008-06-12T13:01:00.000-07:00

As typical training is forever sweat dripping.
We did a 6 round warm-up run.
Then 2.4km trial.
And another 9 laps of “warm-down”.
I heard a few juniors behind ranting.
We did a total of 21 laps in the stadium!!
BOY it was hell shit...
After training, during debrief.
We got our new training jersey.

Taadaahh!!

The new jersey looks more GARAA!!

Weekend going to be burnt off.
Being nice I volunteer to help out.
I m going to be the coxswain for the junior training.
After that will be our training.
9am-4pm at SDBA.
strenuous weekend I supposed.

I have yet to begin on with my assignments.
ICT project management common test and projects.

2008-06-05T10:59:00.000-07:00

I’m back in school.
It’s good to see the same old face.
Denise dint came for lesson.
Vincent dyed his hair to black.

Study break is starting next Monday.
But….
I announce study breaks starts officially today.
Bahaha.
We have 3 weeks of breaks.
Including that 1 common test plus my make-up lab test.
Its time to get assignments done during this break.
Moment in time to enjoy and relax.

2008-06-04T06:19:00.000-07:00

This bug caused me to plunge 1.6kg.
Damm it.
I need good rations. Carbo loads
I want to get back to training again.
Told zixuan about my mass lost.
She asks me to pass her the bug.
Crazy girl.

Jasmine came over without letting me know.
Saw me in my most run-down looked.
She got me herbal drinks and maxim magazine.
Jasmine says: this magazine is to keep you “entertain”
And
the herbal drinks make sure u drink everything.

But honestly, maxim don’t really turn me on you know.
Visual stuff is boring.
I m more interested in the sports, fashion and grooming news section.
You should’ve gotten me Men’s health instead.
We sat down and browse through the magazine.
She seems more entice in the book then me.
Talk about some stuff.
And off she went for her movie.
Thanks for visiting.

Miss Elizabeth called.
My infrastructure make-up lab test is on week 11.

2008-06-03T09:10:00.001-07:00

2008-06-02T12:23:00.001-07:00

It’s in no way to fall sick during lab test period.
This sensation sucks.
I m having high fever (really high like 39.7),
body ache, headache, bad sore throat and flu.
All in a parcel.

It all started this morning.
Went to school for 2 hrs and came back loft.
I slept for quite a short time and my temperature elevated.
I had no choice but to tow myself to the clinic.
Pleading the doctor to give me a jab.
Thinking I would be able to attend school tml.
Back loft.
I had no desire for food.
Ate my medicine then sleep.
Got up again same routine.

2008-05-28T10:31:00.001-07:00

My team had our presentation today.
We dint manage to present it last week.
Due to time constrain.
I did my work.
You guys did your work too.
But some people are jus being nonchalant.
Grades should show the difference.
But why on earth are our grads almost the same.

Well. I shall stop yakking.
Brush it off. I aim for the better.

Mummy is away on her holiday with friends.
It’s the 4th day today.
I bet she is enjoying herself.
Will be back on the 2 June.
Bahaha.. Plenty of time to havoc.

2008-05-14T08:42:00.000-07:00

I had breathing difficulties since yesterday.
Training had been much tougher.
God I was sucking wind!!...
Times flies, im rowing for 3 years already.
Still remember when I was a new.
I kept standing up and the boat would rock
and they'd all be like...
"SHAWN SIT THE FUCK DOWN!!"

After school, came home took a short nap.
Went to Mac to mug.
Jasmine came over to accompany me.
It’s been 10 LONG YEARS since we met.
She left Singapore when we were like 10.
Back this month for her summer vacation.
After mugging we went tpy central for a walk.

trying to do my work for me

desert to end our day

2008-05-06T08:50:00.001-07:00

Went for my visit to the dental.
I was so forgetful that I assume my appointment was yesterday.
and when i got down to the clinic,
the nurse told me its today.
Wasted my time. could have slept longer.

"Assumption is the mother of all mistakes"

i had my bands changed to green.

So I went for a hearty subway meal.

2008-05-04T08:03:00.001-07:00

Not for a very meticulous guy…
I fucking drop my hp into the toilet bowl.
the whole process was like in slow motion
I vulnerably watched as my phone tumbled downwards,
and drowned.
Imagine billions of bacteria swimming in it.
I had to reach in and get that phone out.
but well,
after ripping it apart and drying every part with the toilet’s hand dryer,
my robust phone manages to resurrect.
streaks of "water" exist on the screen.

worried that it might give me trouble.
I trade it off and got a new phone.
kinda bored of nokia phone operating system
I decided to get back Sony Ericsson.
P1i
It’s the coolest shit I’ve ever used.
My itouch was exceptional.

Back back loft and told mum about it.
She laughs none stop about it.
I got down and play around with it to get used to the functions.
Leaving it charged on the dock while I tidy up my messy table.
Have to start to strategies on my study plan.

2008-04-23T08:04:00.000-07:00

haven't been coming online lately.

sry for the delay in pictures.

thats casue of my damm draytek router.

brought it to Draytrek for an autopsy

and the report was that its internal organs were all corroded.

i got a new wireless router.

Linksys:WRT54G

Linksys VS Draytek.

Ergonomic:

Linksys-compact,blends in my room, gorgeous.

Draytek-bulky,dull grey

Configuration:

Linksys-need a external modem to go along with.

Draytek-an inbuilt modem.

Cost:

Linksys-$108

Draytek-$469

Conclusion:

Linksys stands out.

no point getting such expensive router .

which only lasted me for less then 4 years.

but meanwhile, in memory of good ole router.

2008-04-21T09:16:00.001-07:00

I got up exceptional early today.
Due to the prolong excitement i've waited.
I'M GOING TO WATCH T.C.A "LIVE" TONIGHT
Packed my stuff and off to the race site.
Sad to say...
My heart and mind started to drift off the race site.
As soon as race was over.
I ran out of the reservoir to get a cab.
On my way out I saw JEANNIE.
Wanted to poke her with my paddle,
But I slipped and step into a paddle of mud.
DANG!!! Forget it.
Went to SDBA shower and got changed.
And walk over to indoor stadium to meet peili.

Michael Shiavello ,commentators for the night

Zharba smash Rafik ass out

zidov got tko by zach for his nose.

Yodsaenklai from thailand, emerging victorious

Yodsaenklai ,THE CONTENDER ASIA CHAMPION

bump into these bimbos.

peili was damm funny.

she was like "ohh","OMG!","gosh","painful","ouch" while watching the fight.

but its good expierence to watch this in SG right??

Comments to make.

some MOFOs were jeering the fighters,Dr and Ref.

Stephan fox made a speech in the ring to the crowd

saying that we sld nt jeer.

"the boys did their best,

if any of you here can do better,

then step in the ring".

to me I didn't find it offensive.

but for SOME people.

they make such a hoohaa in the local forum.

p.s thanks peili for inviting me to T.C.A.

2008-04-09T12:16:00.001-07:00

my 4th visit to the dental.
i had my uppper set of teeth fixed with braces.
feels wierd.
i wanna have that colorful rubber band stuffy.
instead of metal wire.
Articulation Disorders has fallen upon me.
sometimes when i speak,words goes off tune.
eg: Best Denki becomes "Best Lenki"

special toothbrush for braces

after dental appt.

came home got changed and off to kallang for rowing.

while rowing,i could felt the pull on the teeth.

which the pain came in next.

terrible but awesome expierence.

IM GOIN TO WATCH THE CONTENDER ASIA ON SAT!!

thanks peili for the invitation.

2008-04-08T11:01:00.000-07:00

few more days to end of holidays.

this week gonna be so busy.

WED - i m going to Dr.Leong clinic and rowing

THUR - buy my books and go for dragon boat training

FRI - Sentosa with alfred.

SAT - POLITE race, Grandpa birthday,Jane's 21 birthday party

The Contender Asia is coming to an end.

FINALE FIGHT - WHO WILL BE THE NEXT CONTENDER

its this coming sat at Singapore Indoor Stadium.

On EPISODE 12

DZHABAR[United Arab Emirates]

Soren[Australia]

As Soren was a technical fighter.

and he was good with his knees and elbows

which would make it hard for Jabba to get close.

And also the fact that Soren was alot fitter than Jabba.

Jabba though lacking in height and size against many 72kg fighters,

he makes up with heart and power.

And this night he proved why size doesn't always matter!!

.

Jabba putting everything he had in the hook that took Soren out

Dzhabars knock out win over Soren

Watching The Contender makes me wanna get back into the ring again.

always trying to make weight makes me wonder how much damage we do to our bodies sometimes when you have to crash ur diet.

losing 3 - 4kgs of liquid before any weigh in..it was PAINFUL!!

Nowadays,I let my weight go free.but nv to my extent.

and when its time to fight,i will have to lose liquid again.

CONGRATS to Zhabar, Sean, Yodsaenklai and JWP in the semifinals.

2008-03-24T13:00:00.001-07:00

this time Dr Leong did nt do the extraction for me.
was this wierd fuzzy hair Dr.
Dr. F was so dumbfcuk that he had prob extracting my tooth.
he tried 3 times b4 it was out.
long story in between,wanna know more.call my hotline. xDD
he gave me extra jabs which i assume was unncessary.
and lousy taste of vaseline.yucks.
BANANA flavour.

We were supposed to hit the zoo today!
But little did we expect the weather to change.
RAIN?!
Weather forecast is a BIG BOO!!
No choice. Samantha suggests we catch a show.
So we went to Cineleisure for our movie marathon.
We watch Rule#1 & Step Up 2.
And guess wad.
We bumped into yuwen,erwitt,hansheng and meiying during Step up 2

Rule number one - there are no ghosts.
For every seemingly inexplicable phenomenon,
there is a corresponding scientific and rational explanation.
As Shawn Yue and Ekin Cheng follow the clues,
They realize something sinister is heading their way.
Not that scary, a little twist in the story.
5/10

Andie is a newcomer at the Maryland School of the Arts.
She's not exactly the most liked student in school
But she soon pairs up with a student very different from her,
the popular Chase.
The two soon find a group of students to dance in a secret competition
that suits Andie's talents.
Astonishing movie..

MR500 RACE 2008

THINK DRAGONBOAT , THINK SAVA

Past 2 days of the race really strenuous.
Awful weather conditions
Drizzle and SHINE.
SAVA race was really strict.
Unlike the rest of the race.
If rower were to be going down for any race set.
Every rower had to wear this wrist band.
Identification was checked.
2 days event, 2 different wrist band colors.
This race is a good bench-mark for us.
Patrick coach us for less then 2mth.
But it proves that his training helps during competition.
Guess training gonna be EVEN tougher ahead.
I can smell Patrick’s desire for medal.

CONGRATS to ladies team.
You girls did a great job.
Thanks to RP for lending us their boats during training.

Meet up erwitt and yuwen.
Had lunch at subway.
Went over millennium walk.
Back to “cozy corner” to mug.
FCUK! I’ve been hit by flu bugs again!
I had no choice but to pop over to guardian to get this.
It seriously soothes my nose a lot.
Guys, get this nasal oil if you’ve got sinuses.

My rescuer of the day

all work no play makes shawn a dull boy.

After mugging, we went over to N.Y.D.C for dinner.
Pasta for dinner.

Even heroes get weary, what more me?

2DAYS >> HOLIDAYS!!

but if you want to i will try.

Rowing at seletar reservoir today.
Patrick wants the team to test water.
It feels great to be in the boat again.
But, I still prefer Kallang water.
I miss the atmosphere over there.
Looks like we will be back to Kallang after MR500 race.
After training.
We had to walk all the way to Yishun stadium.
Just to get a shower.
Finding lunch was troublesome too.

After late lunch,
came home
I plunge dead on my bed for 2hrs.
Was so freaking worn-out.
Got up at 730pm.
Shower and got changed.
Off to Nicholas’ Birthday Party.
Met up with Desmond and all at Vivo City before heading in to Sentosa.

After not attending dragon boat training for more then 4weeks.
I finally came back for training after projects are due in.
Attendance was terrible;
guess everyone busy with their projects and preparation for final exams.

Before training, coach said this.

Patrick: “Woa! SHAWN, finally u came back for training”.
Shawn: “projects mah, if not I sure attend training”.
Patrick: “ohh, so u came to show face LAH”.

I kept quiet before I receive more of his sarcasms.
Training was hell crazy. Running that 6 laps at his pace dint kill me.
Sprinting that 4x400m hammer me out.
Weights station made my legs went wobbling.
Guess missing from training and those Chinese New Year goodies did me bad.
Time to oxidize off those calories.

after training,during debrief session.
Patrick read out the seleced rowers for MR500 race.
Fortunately I was selected.

Holiday please pull in sooner.
