For those who DO NOT, please crawl down from the mountain/crawl out of the well/ or crawl out of whatever hole you've been hiding in.. ok?

We gathered at Eugene Fu's place as usual. But this year.. it was much different... we had Barbeque (BBQ aka 'Barbie'). There were chicken wings, shrimps etc.. and HOT DOGS (in Joel's hand)..

Joel with his Hot friend, Zach.Hmm.. is my name Zack or Zach?
Hehe.. ensuring Zach/Zack has his water parade.

As usual, I waited for the food to be ready as I'm almost hopeless at BBQs.. save for EATING and drinking.

After satisfying our hunger, we had some time for male + animal bonding:

Clockwise: Daxuan (in blue), Joel, Galvin, Eugene Fu, Samuel (with dog), Collin and Wee Hian.

Not shown: Captain Ong Wan Keong and Wife, who also graced the event.

Finally, my dear BUDDY, LTA Ray Tay has arrived... in Style!

Chef Weehian, with the help of Charlene prepares the traditional CNY 'Yu Sheng'.

Just look at the different ingredients in our Yu Sheng.

Guess we're bound to 'HUAT' (fa, or get lucky) this year.

Before the 'Lou Hei' (traditional tossing of the Yu Sheng)

The Aftermath of Lou Hei:

Everyone was in high spirits...

Check out the Instant Reminescence Function of the modern video cam:

After the excitement, we went up to Eugene's place:

C'mon boy'..

"Play Laid"

And it was time for soccer.. Man U vs Arsenal... In which Man U won by 4-0.

After that, we played Indian Poker and finished an Absolut Vodka Bottle. No no footage/photograph available due to nature of the activity and graphic content which may be deemed offensive to certain people.

Cant wait to return to Singapore next CNY for our Gathering again. Till then guys!

Valentine's Day Special!.. (Psst.. not mine though)

Valentine's Day Special Release Issue!!

.

If you have not heard of MOCCA by now.. you must live in a hole... either that or... you've not taken a TV Mobile equipped bus (public buses in Singapore, which come equipped with free-to-air TV) in a LONG LONG time!
For those who STILL don't know, MOCCA, stands for MediaCorp Online Communities and Classified Advertising. Basically, it's an online classifieds.. with a *gasp* SEARCH function! Which gives it an edge over it's newspaper counterpart.

Recently, they began an online competition to promote their website. The competition is for the coming Valentines Day, to see who's online love declaration is better. And I'm proud to say, my army buddy, none other than Eugene Fu .. came in 4th place!!! He won a pair of ODM watches.
Big thank you to all who voted for him!!! See his video here! :

For those suckers, whose (obviously outdated) Internet browsers fail to load the above video, or for those mentally challenged individuals (LIKE ME!!!) who failed to notice that there was a STORYLINE behind Eugene's Video.. Here it goes.. *SPOILER WARNING*.. I recommend watching the clip first.

1. Boy wakes up on Valentine's Day

2. Boy realises that he hasn't got a present for his girlfriend.. so he decides to get her a puppy.. only to realise that he does not have enough cash..

3. He goes back to the 'thinking chair'.. while defecating, he decides to fold her little origami stars.. only to find that he sucks at it and after wasting the whole afternoon on it.. he realises that he does not have anymore time.

4. Boy rushes off to meet Girl.. supposedly empty handed..

5. However.. he manages to produce a gift, hidden in his mouth..hehe... (watch vid to find out what)

The silly thing was.. I didnt realise that there was a storyline until the 3rd time I watched it and my mum commented on the story haha...

Sadly, I did not vote for him.. cause by the time I knew about the video.. VOTING WAS CLOSED!!! *cry* .. It was only thanks to Daxuan and Collin Yeo's Blog that I knew about this. Anyway Eugene, I hope you make more videos like this!!! Btw.. maybe you can get Samuel Soh to teach you how to fold those girly origami stars next time.
