i'm a pig! i just woke up! haha. i'm sacrificing a super good seat at the national stadium to watch the big soccer match later just to attend a wedding dinner. its the last time a match will be played there and i'm missing it. full attendance even. ugh. i'm also skipping class steamboat at one of my friend's house just for the wedding dinner. sad sad.

the maestro at work.

i'm blogging out of guilt. met faizal and james for pool today before going on to meet leon and the rest. haha. we played a total of twelve games. so james and i played the first game while waiting for faizal to come. sadly, i lost to him. so james and i continued to play another seven games. sorry to say, i won all seven. so faizal was determined to end my arrogance and run of good form. he brought on four games to me and lost all four to me as well. there was nothing he could do but sit at one corner and keep his mouth quiet while watching me dominate in awe. sorry guys, didn't mean to humiliate you all. i tried my best to give chance, but still..

haha, so we had another 20 minutes to play but i decided to close the table. i didn't really like wasting my time playing with people nowhere close to my standards. okay, i'm so gonna get killed if they read that sentence. wahaha. time to take a short break then its out to be superman again. the hero who accompanies and consoles the sad girl. heh! =)
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
what a boring day. slacked at home all day talking on the phone and watching tv. haha. i finally understood the theory of the more you sleep, the more tired you get. its really true. so if you want more energy, sleep less. alright, i'm crapping. time to go pick best friend from school and then go for supper! whee!
Tuesday, January 23, 2007
whee! just got home from work. work today was fine except i worked with a fucker. haha, don't ask why. oh ya, there are two highlights i have to blog about today's work. this malay woman was really nice, she requested a feedback form and gave to my manager. i took a peep at it and saw that she commented on Ivan Tay as a very bubbly and cheerful worker. she also added that i made cartel like home for her. haha, cool stuff yea. then today there was this super hot eurasian girl, i just couldn't stop looking at her. should have gotten her number. ugh! alrights, no more work all the way till sunday. nothing to rejoice about coz i'm working for 8 hours on sunday. sigh.

went out this afternoon to meet part of the 'gang' for lunch, jalan jalan and lepak at tampines mall. leon then ran off just because of his girlfriend. so pissing. we arranged to meet just to console him about his problems yet he had to throw us alone. asshole, i'm gonna kill him soon. then we surfed the net on my friend's playstation portable. cool stuff la. haha, then i headed for work while the rest headed to play pool. alrights, time to catch up with my online friends before they go offline!
Monday, January 22, 2007
just got home from karaoke! haha. woke up late afternoon to meet faizal and james for pool! then karaoke nearby and sang to our hearts content! now i'm home but my day is not over, i'm heading for work in a couple of minutes time. ugh!
Sunday, January 21, 2007
finally got home after a tiring evening. went out to shenton way this evening to run an errand and walk around the streets there. i realised the tall buildings made the place really nice and emotional to some extent. haha.

then moved on for my hockey match. we were all ready and finished stretching when the stupid game became a walkover to our advantage because the opponents had a clash of jersey colours with us. haha, hard luck to them. then we played a friendly match with them since the pitch was there. gosh, it was really irritating. okay, i'm tired but there's an exciting soccer match later. byebye.
ever since i've met you,
you've been a part of me.
but i never had the courage,
to tell you how i feel.


i've survived after not sleeping for 44 hours. i've finally set a new record for myself. just finished doing that stupid singapore tour 7-11 job again or whatever you call it. this time, the pay is even higher. cool stuff. hehe. alrights, its time to sleep!
Saturday, January 20, 2007
phew, what a terrible night. i just cancelled tonight's work and hinted to my manager about me quitting the job soon. gosh, he sounded so worried. i understand why. imagine if you're a boss and you're losing your best worker, you'll definitely feel sad right.

gay fun with the 'gang' in liang jing's room last night. cool stuff. then played computer games and ate cake. now, i'm still wide awake without sleep for the whole night. surprisingly, i'm not tired. time for more gay fun. bye!
Friday, January 19, 2007
hello people. i'm blogging from liang jing's house now! a super day of great fun. headed down to the cage to meet the 'gang' for soccer! played soccer then we all went home to bathe before finally meeting again with the class girls this time for dinner at changi airport! we ate popeye's chicken. it was so very nice. so now we're back and liang jing's beautiful house and watching borat! super funny movie! stayover tonight and yes, i'll miss my bed terribly.
Thursday, January 18, 2007
cousin make ivan like joker on webcam with his friend. cousin did something funny to ivan computer and now certain things are screwed up. ivan angry.
whee, just got home and finished my melon bubble bath!

then, we woke up to a bright afternoon sun! we headed downstairs and got all ready to tan when the clouds came back again. gosh, how unlucky. so i swam a little and we headed to bugis for my favourite chicken baked rice whereby the cheese overflows the plate! whee! then went on for ice cream at the swensens there. ladies, there's this super tall and hot manager named jeffery there. do go check him out when you all are free. if he's not considered hot to any of you, i'll slit my throat on my birthday(5th Feb). haha.

tomorrow is soccer at the cage with the 'gang' and then stayover at one of their place! lol. i think cous is coming tonight to use free computer again because his is down which means i'll not be able to use for a couple of hours i guess. ugh. time for a short nap to rejuvenate myself. heh!
sorry for this really late post. just got home from a really long night. worked this afternoon and met my cousin in the evening to watch the big match between singapore and indonesia at the national stadium! it ended in a 2-2 draw. the fun part was my section of the stadium was constantly chanting and cursing to the indonesia fans. i was part of it too and threw in a few vulgarities! heh! interesting stuff. although both sides of fans were fighting, the night ended with both sides gaining from watching a beautiful game. then we went to eat tau huay for supper.

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And Im waiting for you
With or without you


finally im home. left for work late today but luckily i managed to open and set up the whole place just in time. this new guy came to work, super lousy. i had to do everything while he just stand around but he finally got scolded by my manager. haha. was sms-ing pam tan while taking a bus home then coincidentally, i spotted her crossing the road when the bus went past school bus stop! haha. she actually waved at me but i didn't notice. fine, i'm a 'gong'. time to sleep and training tonight! whee! =)
i'm extremely happy! this is gonna be something small to all of you but it means alot to me! just got home from work feeling real happy and a great big sense of achievement! i just achieved something that has happened for the first time in siglap's cafe cartel according to one of my workmate. usually people leave coins of tips behind in the bill folder. today, there were two tables who gave me tips personally! $4 each and they thanked me for my good service! gosh, i'm so happy. it's not about the money, it's about this huge joy and sense of achievement. it felt really great having your hard work paid off with tips and praises. i don't know why, this thing has made me really really happy! i'm so proud of myself! =D
Monday, January 15, 2007
one hour more before i head to work. yes, work again. work has made me learn alot but i've neglected alot of people! the 'gang' i hang out with. people on msn i always chat with like siyi and marissa. ugh. sorry people! got inspired by cookie's post to blog. i think i'm gonna stop blogging in probably another two years time? yea. then this will be such a special place i can revisit over and over again. all the remenisences and memories etched over here. one day when i grow old, i can't move around too much, i'll sit at home and type ivaninho.blogspot.com on the internet. then i'll start browsing all the ups and downs of life i've faced suring my teenage years. it will be such a wonderful thing and maybe teary to some extent. blogging is cool. =)
phew! just got home from a long ride after work. had to send my manager to yishun first, so i was the last to alight the transport today. the driver talked alot to me and we're good friends now! lol, cool stuff. work today was terrible thanks to the 13 people table and 18 people table. got to see some pretty girls though. haha. then there were also two tksians who came. alrights, i'm super tired and i'm working again tomorrow night! time to sleep! =)
Sunday, January 14, 2007
hey people. i just got home since leaving my house at 6pm yesterday! went to watch the soccer match between singapore and vietnam with some hockers, it was a boring goaless draw. now, the highlight of the night. my cousin drove over to pick me up and we began this amazing tour of singapore which lasted for 10 hours!

we had a mission to give out some lucky draw tickets to almost all the 7-11 outlets in singapore! yes! from east to west! so we started out at the east coast area, then towards bedok, simei and then changi! gosh, you bet it was already tiring by then. at changi, my cousin's neighbour was working at the subway outlet! so, we got this super nice sandwich with tons of extra ingredients! extra bacon, ham, cheese and whatever! haha, cool stuff.

then we moved on to west coast area, clementi, tiong bahru, redhill and telok blangah. one of the guy working in one of the outlets was so nice! he gave us free drinks! haha. the sun soon rose and we moved on to sentosa, shenton way and city hall! cool stuff luh. haha, it was really a rural midnight tour of singapore! its super tiring but fun. the best part is, we even get paid for doing this! in fact, the pay is super high! hahaha. whee!

bad thing is, i'm too tired to go meet my classmates for our planned soccer gathering. another thing is, i'm gonna end this entry now and sleep my lovely sunday away. ugh. good night everyone! i mean, good morning! =)
Saturday, January 13, 2007

ahh! today was a terribly tiring yet fun day! haha. ignore the picture for awhile first, i'll come to it soon. just got back from my first under-18 game! we kickstarted the tournament with a fabulous performance to edge our opponents with a mighty score of 6-0! cool stuff. the cooler thing was, i scored a short corner! whee! alright, i shall talk about the picture above now. =P

went to meet my new friend siew min this morning to pass her a free hockey stick! see, i'm so nice! haha. then we went to tampines to shop for some presents for some kids. lol. crapped alot today and finally, we ended our shopping with buying that toy above! siew min the stupid lil kid got me to buy it coz she loved playing it so much. tsktsk. time to grow up. anyways, the picture above is not the one i bought, it was something like that, maybe bigger also. then we finally went to fill up my stomach before heading to my match and she headed home! gosh, my ears are painful, maybe because she talked too much. =)

time to rest for awhile now then tonight is another exciting outing with the hockers! i'm not sure who will be there, all i know is around ten people! huge gang today! haha. we're heading to the national stadium to watch the match between singapore and vietnam! it's dumb, they say they'll close that stadium since don't know how long ago. that time when singapore played indonesia there, they claimed it would be the last match ever played there. then now like this. pack of lies! haha, it's gonna be fun tonight! whee! =D

Thursday, January 11, 2007
just got home from my haircut again! haha, i had my last one like 8 days ago? i dont know, my hair just grows and puffs up really quick. alright, it was a terribly bored day at home accompanied by terrible weather as well. therefore, i decided to do something retarded today. it was the testing of my crocs to its fullest potential!

so i poured water on the kitchen tiles and walked with my crocs over it. i tried dragging but i just wouldn't slip. so i tried the same test on the living room's marble flooring. same results again. then i brought it for the ultimate test. the wet drain covers downstairs! nope, it still doesn't slip! so i had to use the mighty cooking oil to attempt defeating it! finally, the crocs gave in to the slippery oil and slipped! haha. the sole does not have very deeply cut grooves, i guess the special thing about it is the kind of rubber used. special.

although it slips on oil, it doesn't slip on water at all! i strongly feel that the government should be nice and give all senior citizens 80% vouchers for crocs! this will really prevent alot of old people from slipping. hmm, maybe i should get both my grandmothers a pair each. haha, its seriously good. singapore only rains water, doesn't rain oil isn't it? so it will be 100% safe! cool stuff. so my conclusion is, crocs are worth buying though certain designs suck big time. heh! =)
phew! finally home from a long night of work. today was really hectic especially around supper time? yea. there was this sickening customer who came when we are about to close. we kindly told him that he could not make any order already and he simply said, "i am hungry!". so no choice la, serve him his stupid coffee. then i made a new friend today. this lunatic yet a little cute girl due to the baby fat on her face. haha, she's really funny and noisy. haha, crazy thing is, she wants to come my house for tanning tomorrow! she had only known me for a day! crazy. i better not let her come, her boyfriend is a mat with tons of tatoos which she claims is body art. chinese girl with malay guy. cool stuff eh? alright, bloodshot eyes. time to sleep! =D
Wednesday, January 10, 2007
thought i should blog before i go for work. it will be the second day of work today! it starts from 7pm till they close and then gotta close the place for abit so it will end around midnight. luckily there is transport provided home. haha. i'll be working with new people today, new faces and new friends i guess. haha. hopefully there will be some pretty girl working today or something. phew, its surely gonna be fun like the other day. just that now its dinner time and it will be more stressful. heh!
Tuesday, January 09, 2007
just got home from club training. it was boring due to poor attendance. my coach is gonna get me a place in raffles junior college because he is coaching there! well, i'm not sure though. i might still wanna stick to victoria. its nearer to my house and it has been my dream school since i was quite young. haha. cool stuff, i think i'm gonna be drag flicking short corners for my under-18 team this year! whee! okay, i stink badly and its time to bathe! =D
Monday, January 08, 2007
i just got home from my first day of work! haha, there are positives and negatives. let's start with the positives first. the people i'm working with are funny and nice! there's even this sissy guy as in super sissy kind. long hair, walk like girl and speak like one also. but he is the nicest of them all! haha. the job is fun and i get to meet pretty customers! my next shift, i'll be working with this girl whom my manager say is very pretty! lol. cool stuff eh. then i also get free drinks from the bar. free flow, whatever i want. if i go there to eat with my friends, i'll get a discount too!

alright, time for the negatives. i had always loved eating at cafe cartel. after today, i wouldn't be so sure that's my favourite place to eat anymore. honestly, the dishes are not washed as clean as everyone would expect it to be. the way it is washed is kinda not-so-clean. the chilli and tomato sauce from the dispenser are poured back into the tubs everyday and reused the next day, not very fresh isn't it? the chefs also sing very loudly in the kitchen and who knows how much saliva they have spilled into the food while cooking. lol. next, the clearing of dishes. customers eat like dogs and spill stuff everywhere. then people like me have a hard time clearing everything for them. luckily my job does not include dish washing. morning shift is the worse, needa set up all the tables and chairs. tough job.

so today was all about taking orders, filling up cups, serving food, clearing dishes and cleaning tables. haha, it was fun yet tiring. my next shift is on wednesday night from dinner time till they close! people, come find me! my bus ride home saw the bus going past vjc. then i saw many students and i picture myself as one of them soon. i really hope i get below 20 for my Os and the vjc teacher won't go back on his word. haha, time to go have a nice bath and rest! =D

oh ya, my friend made this video for her boyfriend today. it was some kinda video with a romantic love song as background while she says some stuff. gosh, if a girl were to do something like this for me, telling me how much she appreciates me and finally confessing to me. i guess i'll probably melt into a molten state and love her for life! haha. =P
Sunday, January 07, 2007
just got home from a nice dinner with some hockers at town and a tedious cab ride. yes, tedious. the christian driver kept preaching to me! he talked about King Solomon, God and even candy canes. retarded can. i had such a long day and he had to irritate my ears. sorry la uncle, i cant stand you. i give face and just nod my head only.

today's tournament was great! we won the quarters, semis and eventually the finals! whee! gold medalist! wahaha. i'm sun burnt again and super tired. work at cafe cartel starts tomorrow! =D
Saturday, January 06, 2007
wah! sunburnt! i'm finally home since i left home at 7am this morning. haha. had my hockey carnival! we are through to tomorrow's quarters. we won all our games today with wonderful scorelines. to top that up, i scored two goals! haha. then went home in the afternoon to bathe and went down to delta again to watch all the other teams play. i delivered 9 cups of bubble tea from tiong bahru plaza to delta today! haha. then had desserts with the hockers after the lone day ended before coming home finally. cool stuff, my club has qualified for every category of the tournament. both boys and girls. tomorrow we shall scoop all the trophies. go RECS!! =D
Friday, January 05, 2007
my new stick! there's only two of this in singapore and the manufacturer has stop producing it!

in other words, the above new stick of mine is limited edition! whee! gryphoon solo! haha. oh ya, another thing to rejoice is that i've been hired by cafe cartel and will start work next week! woohoo! today i spent a total of $300. gosh, gonna go broke real soon again. haha. the last time i saw teresa was during our christmas eve lunch at lido. just now, i saw her there again! proudly in her vjc t-shirt. wahaha.

went out around 6pm today to meet ishak and kel to makan and buy socks for my team! tomorrow got some stupid carnival that i'm super confident my team will win. then we went on to town to slack over some milkshake while staring at some pretty girls. speaking of pretty girls, i suddenly thought of chung siyi! haha, i bought your super belated gift today! i still feel the red adidas jacket i saw is nicer, even my friends say so. but since you prefer the grey one and its your gift. i bought it! haha, just make sure you give me a big smile when you see it k!

alright, i'm abit excited tonight but still i have to sleep early to be able to win tomorrow. in other words, goodbye people! =D
Thursday, January 04, 2007
just got home from ntu training! haha, tiring. went kel's house before training. wah, the long train ride made me miss school even more when i saw students in uniform all over. gosh, its not just missing school, its missing tanjongkatongsec. tsktsk. tiring day, time to bathe! oh ya, i got 3kg of mixed gummies with me. anyone wanna help finish? haha. tooth decay soon!

just came home from the interview with faizal and leon. i think i killed myself. i told them about the interview and they came along with me. but now, i guess both of them will be hired instead of me because they stay nearby. haha, if only i had gone myself, i could have gotten the job. haha, kidding. its about working together with my buddies. oh ya, pam tan walked past me today and i didn't even notice it. i feel so blind. haha. soccer tomorrow morning at tampines with the 'gang'! =)
