Happy Prawning at Big Splash East Coast Park.

Sometimes I think about the things I've done and sometimes I think about the things I didn't do. I ask myself what did I do to deserve some things I have in life and also ask myself about what did I not do to be where I am. - Self Doubt. As positive or as driven I am, I live in self doubt which not many knows and one of the biggest doubt I have in life sometimes is - "How did I get so lucky and meet so many nice people in my life?"

I started the year 2014 with a resolution of spending more time with my friends which I obviously haven't been really doing a lot but I'm still blessed that my friends are always there to ask me out despite my bad habit of rejecting them, double booking or even last minute kite flying.

But boy am I glad that I'm able to make it for tonight's ad-hoc meet up with the "Eastie Tweetup Gang"

From left to right: Smith (me), Chris, Junnie, Nic, Pris and Deb.

I 1st met these guys thanks to Donald, a junior of mine during poly days. He introduced me to this thing call Tweetup in 2009. At that point of time, I have this blog as well as a Twitter account which was hardly used and I know almost nothing about social media but meeting these people changed my life. I attended my 1st Tweetup - #ShootUrTweeple and that when I was introduced to a world of endless possibilities (And chick picking - best thing ever.).

Almost 5 years has past since we 1st met and we are at different stages of our lives now, a lot has changed. Pris was then just a hungry jobless tigeress, Debbie was a struggling artist cum Gahment slaved student, Junnie was a Gahment Slave in the sea, Nic was a free lance web designer while I was a Marketing Exec with a blog that has a record high of 7 visits in a week (They are all myself btw.)

Tonight, we met up and WE PRAWN!!!

Prawning is not exactly my 1st choice of activities but I always believe that in friendship, we try things for our friends because what matters the most is the company and I have to say this $33 for 3hrs of prawning was pretty well spent. I am not the most patient person in town but I sure did survive this 3hrs pretty quickly.  It was actually kinda find and surprisingly nice environment. Not smelly, not infested with mozzie and although it's outdoor it's not warm at all! Unlike one of those that I've visited at Pasir Ris farmway before which was pretty horrible.

Me and my Ex-Gf. 

Everybody else! 

Ex-Gf not bad, end of night result - 3 prawns! 

Junnie didn't prawn but he help to entertain lah hor~  

The "lao jiao" who caught a real big one! Look, Nic is happy about it. 

Abang Junnie feels sad for prawn cause we need to break his pincer. 

Mr.Impatient did pretty well as well actually, total score - 2 Prawns! 

Debbie finally got her 1st prawn but it was kinda tiny and Junnie is totally blocking it. Totally no luck despite being the birthday girl! HAHA. 

Final Score - Pris 4, Chris 3, Smith 2, Debbie 1 - Total 10! 

I'm happy with my tiny shrimp and non-existence bye-cep.

And oh, it was also a pre-celebration for Debbie's birthday and we celebrated her "1st moment" of her birthday at the 7-11 and you probably could put your finger on what we were doing. We were buying blind packs from The Lego Movie!

Finally, my blind pack touching skill was being appreciated. I managed to fish everyone what they wanted and they were all very impressed and happy at the same time. As for me, I'm even more happy cause I've finally found my Mermaid and Cat lady who are both rares! And in case you are wondering which are the rares are which are not...

Each brand new box of these blind bags comes in 60 bags and this is what you will get.

6/60 are commons
4/60 are uncommons
2/60 are rares.

I'm glad everyone had fun because I sure did!!

Mr.Smith, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBIE!!!

My 1st PCC Experience - With the help of Internet

My 1st Experience with PCC


Friends, traditionally you make friend through places like schools, work place or because of where you spent most of your time at. I must say that these methods of making friends are still what most people do but I must also point out that they might not give the best result but on the contrary. When was the last time you actually chat with your neighbor? Hang out with your secondary school friends? Of course I am not talking about never but we can’t deny that it’s getting lesser and lesser.

The world has evolve in too many ways, we start to accept things which are so out of the world, people flying, man landing on moon, woman in love with woman, man giving birth and every now and then people are asking others, what is the 8th wonder of the world? If you ask me, I am telling you the 8th wonder is the “Internet”

Internet gives us information, knowledge, shrink our world and blah blah blah and many more and today I am going share with you an evolution of another phenomenon itself on the internet – Social Networking.

I do not know when it started for the world, I do not know how it started for you guys but I very clearly remember how it started for me, 1998 – my very own Compaq desktop which allows me to the internet and my 1st social network tool – Hotmail. I start to keep in contact with people I ALREADY know via Email and soon enough I was introduce to mIRc, I start to talk to people whom I do not know, I will not know and I might even remember. During the mIRc times, we were always trying to “hide” our identity, change a nick, change an e-mail, everyone have the “I have a real life” and “I have an internet life” mentality, it doesn’t mix into one. And people will have the “ what? U know girls online? U mean u can’t get chick in real life? “ – What a loser ! And soon enough we were introduce to another tool to keep in touch with all these unknown friends – ICQ and the evolution goes on to MSN, Yahoo Chat, Online Forums and many more.

Today, internet affair is never the same, people blog, people are self centered(like me), we talk about ourselves, we make facebook accounts of ourselves, comparing to the “I have 2 life” concept people are taking it as 1 life, in fact people wants to be famous online more than they want to in real life ! Isn’t that amazing I ask you? And so the ball game has evolves to “ What? U meet this chick on facebook and u are meeting her tonite? Dude u are the man !” Get what I mean?

What I am trying to say here is we make REAL friends from this “UNREAL” space of ours, now can you guys please agree with me that the internet IS the 8th wonder in the world now? (in fact the thought of it is that internet is pretty out of the world)

What sparks me with the little writing above is simply because of my personal evolution, it’s not like I never met up with internet friends over some forum back then,( in fact I did make lots of good friends online, to name a few like BR and darkmaul who I always hangout with)but the thing I am talking about now is the Twitter Outing.

That’s a virgin happening for me thanks to @donaldsng and @seraphina22 ( have no idea why I put the @ sign in front? Go check twitter out dude). And we went for the event call #shooturtweeple ( have no idea why I put the # sign? Common.. twitter.com pls)

Basically #shooturtweeple is PCC in the context of @donaldsng, Play Camera Club. And yesterday we had a hell of a time with PCC. Enough of talking and let’s see our “cum”

My PCC Mate

The man behind why I was in the PCC yesterday –

You people could have tell by now that I am no photographer actually, I just join the event in the name of fun.(Even my camera is not what they wanted- it was suppose to be some 1 distance lens/lomo outing) Although I am not very good at shooting but I sure enjoy shooting and I honor all my shots!

And the fact is, I really shoot rubbish lah ! Literally !








LIM !

Like I mention, online social network is not for geek, these people are quite some party animals too! Sorry, busying drink not much pics !
