Bintan Resort (S-rank) Mission Report

Day One:

Rendezvous with Shino at Tenah Merah MRT along with some villagers (Wash one wash, charlizard and Peru). We took Bus 35 to the ferry terminal, upon reaching I immediately spot Tobi. On a closer look, it was just some foreign worker.

Shino scouted the area too and he did not see Tobi. Just when we wanted to call Tobi, that foreign worker came up to us. That foreign worker turns out to be Tobi.....zzz....not just me and shino, all the villagers didn't recognise Tobi. Hats off to Tobi for using shape shifting technique into a foreign worker. Please next time you could have shapeshift into something or someone better.

The voyage to bintan wasn't smooth, the ferry rocks!(physically) due to the choppy sea, causing Shino to have sea sickness. I was affected by it too.

When we reach the resort we were greeted with a welcome drink. Nobody knows what drink its is, but it just taste damn nice. Some say its sugar cane, some say lemon tea and some say its jasmine tea.

Our unit was not located near the lobby, thus we had a mini bus to drive us there. Just a 2 min journey.

The bungalow have 2level, 5 rooms,1 kitchen and 3 toilet. By far one of the best chalet we had stayed.

Tobi and me shared the smaller room, while Shino shared with wash one wash. Me and shino had secret mission to watch over the action of wash one wash.

After dumping our luggage in the room, we immediately proceed to BBQ. Instead of a BBQ, all we did is sit on the sofa and watch TV, and the food just magically flew to us. Cook of course. Actually not magically, we need to tank grace's parents and Peru for cooking for us. Ah Li Kar Tou Ku sai mask.
Tank You, Xie xie ni, Tema Kasi, (aaron help me fill in here ________ thank you in tamil)

We followed Akatsuki's Standard Operation Procedure Protocol, which means we played Taboo, Mafia and some games. Shino was really damn damn unlucky, he kena all the worst forfeit. 1st he was made to introduce to Grace's friend. He had to talk to them for 1 minute non-stop. Of course Grace's friends ignore him, which really make Shino looking like an idiot.

2nd forfeit, Shino, Tobi, Grace and wash one wash had to sing or dance for 1 song. Again they really look like idiots. Really some just open the mouth duno sing wat, den some just wave hand halfheartedly. Tobi is the only 1 that really set the example, dancing and rolling around. Hands up for Tobi. Catch here for the MTV. I will post it in once I receive it.

Day2: Every1 was quite onz hav to sae. Average of 2-3 hrs slp and all woke up and were ready for the beach. Had some warm up volleyball games among ourselves before we were challenged. Its the game of the century. Team Singapore VS Team Indonesia. Challenging for the “Coca Cola Beach Volleyball Championship”.

Lineup for Team Singapore: Irving, Sam, Aaron and Simon.

Lineup for Team Indonesia: 3 Black Guys (Name? Whu cares…)

Final score: Team Singapore lost 17-25

Still proud despite the lost. Brave performance put up by Team Singapore playing away… lol

After tat all of us went to challenge the Waves of the Bintan sea b4 we rinse ourself in the swimming pool at the resort.

Back to the chalet and bathe b4 moving out to the central to walkwalk and dinner. Nth much there. After dinner Simon and Ningwee went for Full Body Massage while the rest stayed back at the restaurant as we tok about the “Unexplained”. Aaron being tempted to join them for the massage held back for some reason. When we ask him he said he scare tat when massaging certain parts of his body may jump (in chinese). Hw much do u understand frm tis sentence?

Back to the chalet, due to fatigue i guess. All stoned in front of some boring tv programs for 2 hrs before we decide to play some games as not to waste time. Tis time rd the strength keep dropping tru the nite. Ended wif onli Sam Peiru Grace and mi playing Bridge till around 5+. Quite surprised that they can actually last so long without slp.

Day3: Woke up at bout 11. First ting i heard when i woke up is tat we were almost burnt alive by kind hearted Charissa who wanted to boil some water for us b4 she leave to catch her ferry in the morn. And she left leaving the kettle to boil when all of us were still slping upstairs. Luckily Ningwee woke up early and happen to receive the call frm her to prevent tis tragedy. Orelse u will not be reading tis post now.

Watched some tv. Went for lunch at the restaurant near the beach. Then spend 1-2 hrs at the leisure center for some games and its about time to packup le to get ready to catch the 1835 ferry back to singapore le. The 3 of us still managed to play some games and forfeit at the ferryterminal b4 we left.

I will do a picture illustration in e nx post...

Well blogging is an instant inspiration. You suddenly think of something and you just feel like writing it out. If you dont, you will lose the momentum and you will forget what you wanted to write about.

Just within a space of lets say 5 min, if you listen to a song, your mood changes thus your inspiration. At times I am feeling blue and i feel like writing a emotional post but because of listening to a lively song, my mood lifted. Whatever that I wanted to write suddenly became irrelevant.

Not just a song, a phone call, a drink, an article or even color, all can change how you actually feel and what you wanted to write.

For this very instance, 12:14 Monday 24 November 2008, I have this “urge” to write a blog immediately i put down my luggage and change into home clothes and I wrote this post. I didnt have anything in mind to write about, just a feeling to say something. I had an inspiration but it wasn't clear, but thoughts and words just came to my mind as I type.

Consider this, if I took a bath or a rest before I wrote, this post would be different.

Everything that is happening in every instance, have a cause and effect. What you think and what you do will affect what proceed. Trivia as it can be but it makes a difference. Is life a cause and effect, affected by your decision with interaction? Is life controlled by fate and destiny? Or life is just a random probability that just happens as it happen...

The 2 minute you took to read this post could have change something. You could have wanted to do this or that but it might have changed. You could have done another thing instead. Another thought might have came to your mind, which could have cause you to do another thing.

I finish typing this post at 12:25 Monday 24 November 2008, I wrote it off line. I will post it online tomorrow, but the me tomorrow would not share this feeling with me now, I might feel that this post is very meaningful now, but the me tomorrow could see this as something random.

I wrote this post seriously, and I hope you take time and see what I am trying to say, rather than just another post.

General thoughts

Well still finding job, not easy nowadays. i have decided to turn down the moe job, not sure is it the right decision but only time will tell.

I am still not quite sure how bad exactly is economy now. some say its very bad, and job cut everywhere, some say its not that bad, there is always opportunity in bad times. I am confused.

Going to Bintan island with a bunch of commoner, along with 2 more akatsuki member, another S rank mission, this time to test whether i will miss the ferry anot. tough mission.

wanted to rev up my blog, but i dun wan to over complicate it. Feeling quite stagnant and lazy to really give it a change, guess will put on hold 1st.

Have been reading books and training recently abit of a different lifestyle compare to the past.

Waiting for sitex fair to come

Basically thats about my life

For now...(sound familar?)

Arsenal in shambles, What's up with Wenger nowadays

The way cesc is playing now really cause me concern, he cant really create chances as there is no striker to make the run, he cant advance to attack often as there isnt a ball winner to defend. He is stuck in between causing he to lose form. In fantasy league fabregas last season got so much points, this season rory delap is in front of him, tats says everything u need to know about the way cesc is playing at the moment. But i strongly believe its not his fault, give him back a flamini and he will be back. Look at how cecs play for spain, with the kind of movement silva villa and torres provide and the backup senna give him to roam and dictate. sadly the arsenal now is so far from spain.

Cesc is loyal but how much is he willing to put up with?

January might be the key to cesc future, might be the key to arsenal future but will wenger find the key?

Blog round up!

Hey wats irving blog? y his blog nt in akasutki?

hmmm damn long nv read u guys blog liao. didnt even saw cw blog.

wats up with jh and his teh c session? wat he said?

Should i go to bintan? Look like i could have my questioned answered during the trip.

Finally...

well not the 1-0 win i predicted. But yes arsenal won! and nasri is the man. i knew if we won he would be the key. finally for once i can enjoy reading match report.

Last season the draw at Birmingham ended arsenal challenge. this season i thought arsenal season ended at tottenham 4-4 draw. if we lost to united, the pressure would be to big to overcome and shattered our belief. most arsenal supporter would have hope for a draw.

but with this win we could kick off a series of results. tough fixture this month as arsenal face villa and chelsea, which explain y i drop all my arsenal player except bentner.

as usual arsenal played better when facing better clubs, its really such an irony, when we play with better club we are more committed. we think, hey its man u we gona win this! against stoke, this is crab team, we are gona stroll and win.

hope they change this habit, cos there is no point wining against man u, liverpool and chelsea if we will den lose to hull fulham and stoke.

note : damn saded my fantasy league this week is cmied!

A gut feeling

rushing to go out now but i got a gut feeling, arsenal will win 1-0. headed goal from sylvester or bentner. nasri will be key IF we win. 4-5-1. arsenal will play defensive game to starve man u to a 0-0 draw. but mid way will SUCKER-PUNCHED man u with 1 goal. defend all the way.

I am goin to by 1 goal. total goal.

jus gut feeling i mayb look stupide here, as man u thrash arsenal 4-0 wenger got sack. so u nv no. finger cross i win money. arsenal win 1-0

General Thoughts

Despite my new found freedom, seems to me life got busier but in a good way. Doing alot of things that i wanted to do in the past but i just aint got the time.

1st off, i just finish gundam 00 series. Gundam rocks!

2nd, Going to JH house, disturbing his parents, especially kisame who shouted in the middle of the nite causing jh mum wake up. well done to kisame, a man or shark tat always impress me.(i might have contributed but due to my sinister and low voice it is less noticable)

3rd, eating supper, wah i really really damn long nv eat supper alrdy, especially lor 8 market, the water leg noodle is still as good! (bloody kisame keep phyco me eat supper.)

Now that gundam have ended, i will be once again looking for job, tidy my room. and of course post update on akatsuki webby. there are call for creation of face book also.

i need to add 1 or 2 section in my blog too. something tat i always wanted to add.

my weekly eboue show also gone, so sad cant wait for eboue to do something i could write about

Oh yes almost forget.

for once i sat down and think hard about fantasy league. 1st time i make so many changes excluding wildcard week.

drop adeybayor out for 3 wks, with van persie out too, i decided to put bentner, 5 plus points onli and a garanteed spot in arsenal frontline, that seem to be a good deal.

fabregas was drop too, like jh said 10 pts is too much for some1 who fail to perform for e past 2-3 month.

the points tat i earn was den reinvest into midfield. with pool everton and chelsea having so called easy game i put arteta, kuyt, lampard in, ronaldo lost his captaincy to lampard in my team. Now i have all the top scoring player in my midfield.

hull is coming up against bolton at home, i hope dawson and marney can earn me pts. i will bench bentner as for now against man u. i hope hull dun disappoint.

if hull can perform and couple with my power house midfield. this week should be able to get enough points to cover up my transfer. (12 pts was deducted! tats alot)

anything my robinho and carew get will be a bonus!
