Of seafood and beer

Posted by Lokman

Right by the beach of Pasir Ris lies a peaceful, quiet relaxing, awesome placeto hang out. Fisherman's Village is the name and not many know of it's existance. Even to those who have been living in the east.

Nothing soothens a hard day like hanging out with friends along with food galore, especially seafood, with barrels of beer afloat.

And what good friends then no other then my good old were-bull Chen.
Back from Germany during his study break, he sneakily came back to our shores and surprised us with his arrival.

Surprisingly, i unofficially became his PR and tried the gather as many knowns for a meet-up. I hate doing that. Do you know how troublesome it is to schedule a meet-up to suit EVERYONE.

"Oh sorry i have a date on that day."
"Yeah sure, but i have something on at noon"
"No prob, but i'm meeting my friends in the evening."
"Thats great. i'll call you when i finish my meet-up with my friends in the morning."

Argh~

In fact, in the end, i decided, the hell with them who couldn't come along and planned an outing anyway.

Group 1 to the Fisherman's Village for dinner and beer and Group 2 to Boat Quay to Eng's pub to hang out a little and ..yes..more beer.


What a bunch of baboons. It was fun.

The return of Jennifer Anniston to the big screen in Derailed gave me mix feeling. I wondered if i will ever will shake off her persona as Racheal in Friends cos I could swear that every reaction she gave, gave away wat there is to come.

Anyway, a not-too-bad of a movie but non too fancifull. My only mention is that the ending should have ended earlier. (i'm a sucker for open endings..)

After our Fly-BY-Night competition that happened a few weeks ago, we realise that we had so much fun doing it that we decided to greenlight yet another short film. Infact, this very moment, the script is in its final phrase and should be starting our principal shoot in January.

I'm hyped!

Check out our teaser poster.

T'was the day after christmas, all the commotion and buzz of the holiday chain finally took its toll. Its time to rest and relax. Headed down to Hideaki's place with Jeremy to unwind by his pool side. The 1st dip was almost hypothemic but gradually warmed up after a few laps.

I still suck at swimming.



Then the guys had the audacity to suggested alittle tanning before heading to the steam room. I'm already dark enough from the sun burn during the ICT.

Hightlight of the day: Steam room.
I was turned to jello by the end of the session.

Ah..this is life...

Back to normality.

(Actual sunset view from my bunk. Awesome huh?)

Off with the green! While serving the stench of sweat and grime, it occured to me of all those memories way back during the active days. And so here i am agian at the steps of yet another phase gone. Having just ended my 2nd ICT, it just feels like days back before ORD. The mad rush to hand over stores, guns and settling admin matters. Finally, 2 weeks of training ends.

My attempt on IPPT miserably smack me in the face of how physically untrained i was. But hey, at least i attempted and completed it.

Willpower:Check.


It was pretty much a relax pace during the first week with all the admin and technical matters to settle. Right after the weekend, on a weary sunday night, preps for the 3d/2n outfield excercise was on the way and off we went to our "playgrounds" around Singapore.


For a monsoon season, the sun ws beat down on us for the entire duration of our training, while working on our deployments. Somebody up there must have a sense of humour cos, it finally rained the next day we came back to camp, AFTER we had settled cleaning our stores and guns.

Saying goodbyes as we outprocessed yesterday, feelings of disconnected wasn't as bad as i thought cos we'll be meeting agian pretty soon.

Forcast: End of June 06: ICT 3 - ATP

Till next time, Gun 4, out.

I see green people...agian

Nicely put by my friend, i'll be checking in to SAF's resort tomorrow for 2 bloody weeks. Not that i'm complaining. Its certainly a break (if u wanna call it that..) from my NEVER ENDING work. But sometimes it's rather a shame to let it go once you've gotten so used to it.

..or maybe i'm just plain lazy to get all physical agian after months sitting behind the computer, not moving much. Hah hah..sigh..

And what pisses me off is the fact that i might miss the opening of King Kong. Yes. MIGHT. I'm keeping my fingers cross for an early release for night's off on Tues. If it does happen, i'll the happiest man alive.

Alright you peeps who still bothers reading my blog, this will be my last post till christmas... no..wait-a-min.. there's internet connection in camp. Hmm.. Maybe you won't hear the last of me yet.

Wish me luck for an authorisation letter to get a camera in.

Welcome to the suck ...

What a time to get sick.

Its the hectic period at my magazine.
Almost the end of the Lexus Cup era. (Yay~)
Some moviexclusive work still not done yet.
Haven't gotten ready for reservist next week. (2 bloody weeks)
Worried on how my designer gonna cope with all the work i'll be piling on him tomo. (sorry dude)
Worried on how the fate of Jan's issue will be without me. (Bahahahha...hah..sigh..)

Anyway, it just sucks getting sick. Bleah...

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

Ok, i'm gonna confess. Yes i DID sneak out of the office early during lunch time to attend the pres conference of Perhaps Love at The Oriental Hotel.

..and yes, i did attend this with 1 main intent. To meet Takeshi in the flesh. (oh, and as a moviexclusive photographer too of cos..)

Girls are crazy over him and i've just got to see what the fuss was all about.
Now i know why.


...Dang, he looks good.

Anyway, i snaped loads of pics during the red carpet event, and came across a particular series of pics that I just couldn't resist making fun of.

If you're reading this Takeshi, its just a joke... lighten up...Anyway you owe us one for not stopping at the red carpet for us to take photos. Grrr...

The surprise of the year!

I never thought i would actually enjoy this piece of art. Absolutely gorgeous and splendidly shot.

Rumours are going around of Kiera up for a nomination in the oscars and i for one will definately give a nod to that.
