Carnivorous Clowns on the loose

I'm going to write in a third person perspective.

Why ?>>> Becoz it is 2 AM, I'm tired n wonky. So I have creative juices dying to burst out of my fingers.

It was a farewell session for my army buddies

Mr Yoke is heading to Tasmania to further studies. All the best to him =]

We headed to Vivocity for pure meat as request of a protein crave from Mr Ling.

Mr Gwee barely recovered from a hangover of red wine from the indulgence the night before and has come prepared with a growling stomach.

Mr BenBen aka moi is the organizer of this ferocious gathering and has recommended Brazilian churrascaria.

We gorged on our plates.

Mr BenBen dislike bacon and pork sausages. (No Pok, I tell you, or I call the police, Those who have not yet watch the RK Prata House No Pok Youtube video is a tad slow.)

Mr BenBen likes slab of bloody beef with grilled pineapple which makes for a scintilating taste.

Mr BenBen likes the four ORD personnel as four hungry clowns.

Mr BenBen ate like a pig and emerge as champion of the most amount of meat dumped on plate and swallowed into his vortex of stomach.

Mr Ling was the weakest despite of the fact it was his request for PROTEIN. Weakling.

Mr Gwee looked bloated before the buffet. Mr Gwee still looked bloated after the buffet. He blames the sweater made him look bloated. I say, blame Topman for creating it.

Mr Yoke was tough competition for Mr BenBen who challenged and vyed for the award of making full value of the buffet price.

Through that heavy hearted meal, the four clowns talk about the fun army days.

The clowns talk about how life has changed with our present jobs.

Mr Gwee is a lab technician and plays with Pinky and the Brain.

Mr Ling is a park ranger who goes around scounting for littered used condoms around bushes.

Mr Yoke is a freelance architect that designs houses for stunted people.

Mr BenBen is a retail assistant that helps ugly people to become beautiful and in his line of job, he meets a lot of beautiful people that are very ugly no matter what. (Especially when they complain.)

All in all.

The four clowns had an amazing time.

After which, they went jalan jalan and booked tickets for what is a formidably traumatizing show for Mr BenBen.

It was in fact a carnivourous show.

How apt for a day like this.

Name of Movie : Apocalypto

The show was full of Carnivorous appetites from the weirdest director himself, Mr Mel Gibson.

Scenes of oozing brains and pumping heart reminded Mr BenBen of what he just ate at Carnivore.

Be glad for the Golden Village management.

Mr BenBen did not puke on the miserly third row seat that he got.

It was a fun Saturday out for the four clowns.

After that, Mr BenBen left the circus and met his new galpal, Miss G for Seafood.

But that story is for another day to come =}

For now, let the pictures do the talking.

Rogue

Ended work.

Headed to Rogue with pals.

Had some drinks. And then more.

Lots of games. Only quick-minded survived the alcohol.

Least to say anyone survived.

I had fun.

Getting high on all the alcohol.

Next time, it shall be Double O.

Cheap drinks, dance floor and better crowd.

At Rogue, we content ourselves with the live band and our own live amusement.

It was more than sufficient to occupy our night.

Whoopee.

Working tomorrow morning.

Sianz.

blog upgrading soon & some reflections of life

Wow.

I just read a comment left behind by a blog reader.

I didn't know my blog was being kept in close tabs.

Honestly, I'm silently surprised.

My life is like anybody else's.

I just like to dot mine with photos.

Yes, voyeuristic by nature. But most blogs all fall into that category.

I think with that comment, I'll try to blog more. I will be editing my blog layout in late feburary since alot of links are practically dead.

Today on the train.

I was thinking to myself.

How in my different phase in my life, I have gathered and known people which I still do bother do keep in contact with.

Here's a rough list.

My cousins, Daphne and Faith since young and especially after my secondary school years when I would spend my holidays hanging out with them.

Jun Mian, my best friend. Since secondary school years, we survived alot. Gals, soccer and pigging out on packets of $2 French Fries.

Clara, Ivan, Wendy, Gwenne and Aaron, my poly peers who influenced me who I am. From Foodcourt 6 to blogging to the most lame jokes ever.

Michelle, the internship gal who I formed a very close knit to.

Clement, Jason, Ling Wei, Yoke Chye and Alex. 23 SA would be very different without you. My army days was bearable with you guys around.

Jacque, my bro, although we hardly keep in contact now, we shared that connection when we lament about our singlehood. I cherish those days.

Shawn, Danny, Daniel, Javin and Zhen Xiang, you made me appreciate what friendship is, and that a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Nurul, Har Ni, Josephine, Hui Ting, Jezebel, Lay Chen and Sally , working with you gals, are definitely fun and without woe. We silently suffer but for a good cause and it's awfully fun. I will miss the camaradrie we have teasing one another and especially me being the wacky one.

I know most of you peeps won't read this but this was what went through my mind today.

With you peeps, I am who I am today.

And I'm thankful for that.

Ben

P.S. I'm not dying. Of any terminal illnesses, don't let your imagination run too wild or I'll come after you with a sledgehammer. *Eyes u-know-who*

Remember?

I wanted to go to sleep but a friend send me a photo.

He said.

"Remember those days?"

My reply.

"Yes, I do."


Alpha Officers


And tonight.

A colleague asked me to smile more, sensing my sadness.


The Bell n the Ben


I'll miss her too.

Thanks for the good memories,
Ben

2007

2007.

It still feels the same.

2006 has been a roller coaster year for me.

Ups and downs but I learn to live with what has past.

Bygones be bygones. Learn from the experience.

With newfound work in the later part of this year, I've been tired out like a forlorn zombie dragging my ass off to work.

Been clubbing, hanging around with friends and doing my own stuff.

Hardly blogging now.

I guess the interest has waned to a new low.

Less attention seeking and I'm more concentrated about doing stuff I feel like doing.

Blogging. Hmz, lesser of a passion now.

More photo taking though, as it is a picture of the past that will be forever be etched in a visual form, worthy of rememberance.

Here is the deluge of the last few weeks where I have been lagging in presence on the blogosphere.
