Nightmare lucid dream

Oh. So scary. I just woke up from a bad dream. Citibank had a getaway trip and most of it i had forgotten. Just remember the last part, where there are couples of car lining up in convoy and i think i was choosing team to move off to the next location. See jonathan mandy and visan was inside a same team i go with them as a team. Jon is driving visan's car in the driver seat i sit beside mandy follow by visan at the other end of the window. I remember visan turn over and speak to me, face pale and sweating. The next moment we move off driving. The scene is at the road near queenstown mrt. Jon made a right turn into the opp direction of the car. Car start come toward us from bind spot and couple of near miss and tire scatching sound. 

So jonathan reverse and made a 3 point turn near the traffic light. The next moment i know he zoomed off at top speed. The next moment the car skid and crash into the tree near by, the car caught fire shortly. Mandy visan and i was threw off the car far away, i pick myself up and dash to resuce jon in the car and next moment the car explored into a ball of flame. 

Next my vision is like the end screen credit, i saw my name was written being remembered and why i was given a serial of number. I believe the number belong to my tome's number. Fuck and i can't remember what is the number. If not i can buy toto liao. 

End of my nightmare and i pondering inside toilet why human cannot remember his own dream. Googled. 

Trang is back with coffee

Saturday is a stay home day for me. Suppose to be at Tangs Vivo but I just can't do Tangs Vivo period. AB booth stay from PS3 "Last of us" and vietnam coffee better. I had been drinking 3 cup of coffee daily and the coffee Jenny gave me is running low, and just at the time when I was out of coffee guess what?

Trang is back to Singapore bringing me some more coffee powder and Vietnamese delights. Do you miss her? I sure do :p


She was here with another friend but unfortunately her friend got held up at custom and later deported back to Vietnamese. Sad. I don't get to know her pretty friend.

Last of us at 61% completion
Met with Jackson and YS recently over coffee shop and chat up a bit. They are all doing good, Jackson got his new flat and YS GF didi is here in Singapore with him.


When with Fyn to Raining bar and later Ali joined us and than I took Ali to supper. Super and beer session. 


It is suppose to drink and eat at the same time and talk. They say it is the culture of Vietnam. I hope my coffee powder can last me till 12th. These few days are working hard so I do not lose my virgin again.



When to anchor point myself to get me some sashimi craving. Well, that made me $45 poorer on my pocket. I had totally no control over my spending now. Gonna start earning to save and make very cent of mine counts.

2014 resolution & wishlist

Now time to do resolution and summarize past year effort. Out of the 4 resolution I set last year, met only 2.

For year 2013

Achieve 3k/month profit for buyincase shop
Lose 8kg body weight to 72kg (kind of look thinner)
Get a property agent license (Achieved)
Get to 3 different country this year (Went to Shen Yang)


Alright at least the most important aspect had been met. I had already obtained my RES licence and I am going to plan Vietnam trip this month. Hence, nutshell 2013 is fruitful year for me. Most importantly, I had myself a job that is providing me what I had always wanted in life. Although tiring but still more or less fruitful change in my life. Importantly, CPF contribution starts coming in. It is good.


Haha, so far already 4 DSO packs bag and get out of the job and punch card liao. They were Shermine, Keith, Mo Cheng and Mandy chronologically. What doesn't kill you made you strong siol. Saying me, I had made a promise to myself to work harder in year 2014. $8000/ month is not a dream, it is all in my mind. 

So speaking of which my resolution in 2014 as follow:
  1. Get paycheck of 8k a month in Citibank
  2. Close my first listing in Property
  3. Euro Trip
Lastly, I would like to end it short. Happy new year 2014 to all!! 

Dion and mandy bday plus farewell

Celelbrate dion and mandy bday. Visan and me got them pandora nad zippo lighter, they loving it so much. We set a high standard for present and think no one can beat us at that. 



Mandy also leaving us soon to join SIA as stewderess. Could very well be our last outing. And i had really encourage her to make the move because you need to explore more when you are young. I wasnt taught about that when i was her age. 读万卷书不如行万里路,行万里路不如阅人无数。





Gonna miss her. Like what she say, it will never be so much fun after either one of us away. Now only me and visan 相依为命了。 

This dec is the month i lose my "virgin". I mean first time i give up hitting comm. i said before missing comm is just like losing ur virgin. Once you pop you can't stop. I buffer more carry over to jan because my pay will be prorate due to compliance leave. Vietnam ho chi minh. We are ready, 万事具备只缺东风。and dong feng is expected to blow on 12th Jan. 5 days compliance, 厚嘢。booked preferred seats and lugguage space. So excited cause going to meet Van sister and family. And my snake heart, baby duck and dogmeat. 啊来啊来,来了咯。

This time just go without itinerary. Fllow my heart, stop over at cafe and bookstore, la kopi and read motivational books. Charge my battery back and come back chiong tiering. I am going to target my gross to go into 8k. Guess have to do more ntb, 100k loan and also 85% shield. 

The right and true way to make a cafe su dai


After my epic failure to make a cafe su dai using colombia coffee bean, i am determined to get my cup of vietnamese coffee the right and true way. 


Ensure that you are of course using all the right material and wares before you attempt. 


Some vietnamese recommend 红字 sweetening milk. Punch 2 hole so that the milk can flow out like this. Rest can keep fridge for a longer time. 


Put in 2 to 3 teaspoon of vietnamese coffee bean and remember not to use other coffee powder other than those you get from vietnam. Shake well for even distribution and compact the powder with centre piece. Not too forceful, compact 85% to enable water to drip through. 


Pour in hot water to 7/8 full and you can pour some hot water in bowl to keep the coffee warm through the dripping process. 


Dripping of 1 to 2 drops per second is recommended. Check that you really have dark black coffee dripping and wait patiencely for 7 to 8 minutes. Listen to vietnamese song is recommended like how other had recommended. If you want i recommend listening to tim lai bau troi and giac mo qua roi during waiting. 


Nice!!!


Stir well and enjoy.


Throw in some ice cubes to make cafe su dai for me i prefer using cup from 星巴克.

Christmas 2013 and my fat ps3

Just jailbreak ios 7 with evasi0n7 and purposely installed the taiG version with china malware. Supposingly to have cracked and pirated software where a lot of user deter away. Enjoying my ios 7.0.4 now :)


Saw visan carrying this small prada bag and she got it for ard 900. Cannot be so cheap, she must have got it oversea.


Saw this cute sweet lying on her table. 


Okie. Basically spend my christmas day installing ps 3 and tv at home. Link up all the cables and even paired iphone with ps3 so that i can play youtube on ps3 using my iphone. 

Got the ps3 on ebay. Fat version 80gb + 2 wireless controller + bluetooth keyboard + 7 games + 7 blue ray for $181. Luv ebay for the cheap deal. When to buy my own game, the last of us and wanting to spend tonight at home pak game. 


Thanks van and jenny for the vietnam coffee powder. After using this, all i get is just authentic pure vietnamese cafe su dai. Anh yue em, muack!! The taste is so super strong i love it so much and i had 3 cup a night ytd. 


Kanasai, lucky draw never tio. Mary's bf got the first prize which is a pair of vietnam return air ticket. Fuck duck lo. I got twice almost kana. Just miss me 2 tickets number away. The first prize and 7th prize respectively. I almost kanna first prize lo. Now i have 1 less trip to go. Fucking duck. 

Countdown christmas at 36 and they have the party pack and spray can. We had a good time spraying people around. I got 30% wet as well. Mimi hiding inside changing room. Don't have like that one lo. 


Van went to universal studio today. Can she quit being so pretty? 

Join POC but still not as full time, Citi still appeals

Alright. I just got myself enrolled in poc one of the smaller division. I suddenly felt the lack of committment from my over study today. Nonetheless i decide to proceed to avoid further delay in aquiring my CES licence. However i am still not reasy to make a move. I really need stock up a little bit before going. And citi had to offer. 


OMG can u believe this custom made band is only $10 done at near cathay. 

Trying to find back my initial passion in being a dso. And a good talk with my TM i think had to reboot my mind and bring my attention back to work. 

See i even had it in my on my third month which i ran into gold rookie award. Getting gold automatically earn me a free briefcase. 


And beside the big income, citi bank do pay out small gratitude once in a while. Big company big reward and occassionally small freebies. I cannot remember how many gong cha voucher and famous amos cookies voucher i took. Some headphone and mouse and portable charger. All this by our parntering gift distributor for mega clear 500 events. 

Some smaller gift token will be like umbralla, retractable pass clip and a bag hook. 


Being in CT team which the best team we earn ourselve a chaalenge and got a $5000 taka vouchers. Well, it really gear ur up a little from all the branded stuff at takashimaya. Each person was given $660 for voucher and what effort was done to received this award? Just being inside the top team :p


Fuck jon for asking me get the mont blanc sleeve because the prada sleeve is way way more beautiful than the stupid mont blanc. But strangely van thinks the bom piang one looks nicer. 



Tell me ur thoughts. Which one is better looking?


And lastly taken at cathay for clear 500 event and this picture had make a lot of controversy cause they crop my face with yuan qing and mass sent to all dso and tm. I was quickly rise to fame and got very high profile due to the picture circulating as gay partner in citibank. Well bad publicity is still pubicity. Thanks for making me famous although for the wrong reason.  

The wrong way to make a cafe su dai

Today my off day got some spare time at home and I think how about using some time to play with my Vietnam phin filter someone brought me N years ago. But I ran out of vietnam coffee bean, I used Colombia bean instead.

A very powerful vietnam chief had share her guide on how to brew a Vietnam authentic coffee.


And yes I literally listening to vietnam song while waiting for the brewing process like how she had recommended. And NO it didn't make the waiting less painful for me. The brewing process a almost 8 minutes. That will depend on your compression and the coarse of the bean. I guess why Vietnam coffee are cold by the time I reach the table. Cafe su dai is more popular i guess.

Alright. My coffee is ready now at this point of writting. Let me go try it....

Okie judging the color of my coffee I believe it too light and diluted compare to the Long phung coffee. It taste absolute no where like the one i had. Phewwww

Taste like drain water. So light. Nabei. 



I did use the Hario coffee grinder. At least that one still produce desire result of grinned bean





Please do not see my brewing process. Really fuck up. Okie wash up time. Then off me go watch some Vietnam clip on youtube already.

Planning to Saigon trip 2014

Book my ticket to Vietnam and will be leaving on 12th January 2014. Finally, this will be the first time I visit this country, going to visit so of my friend I knew back here in Singapore. Trang's coffee shop is at Hanoi so probably don't get to listen to her singing this time.

When to youtube some Vietnam Ho chi minh clips and saw Gordan eating snake in Vietnam and I google some strange exotic food served in Vietnam. They have the culture of "finish everything" meaning they try to keep waste of food to minimum.




I really want try the "make man have power" baby duck eggs and "one night 5 time" snake heart and blood. Fucking want to try. And seasonal period they have dog meat in Vietnam. Gonna get some puppy love as well. Of course I will be back with tonnes of Vietnam coffee, and I had already booked 20kg luggage back to Singapore. Lathivan gonna join me and show me the true way of Vietnam. Yahoo!!

Vietnam is like a topical country and I guess I will be missing out snowing. Unlike Shen Yang which I totally can't forget the duck blood fen si and Xue bi

Club 36 having Christmas lucky draw and I had collected a couple of voucher which I heard that the first price is a 2 return ticket to Vietnam. Very innovative so I hope I get to go for 2nd time if I am lucky being picked as the grand price winner. Wahaha.

Gonna got out of job soon. Poor Gary.
