An Innocent Wave... An Unintentional Damage

Felt bad... Didn't know an innocent gesture on my part could cause damage and unhappiness between people....

It was a warm humid night last Friday. Mark and Sandy dropped me somewhere near their place after several games of "Dei Ju" at Clara's place. Standing by the curb, I waited patiently for a cab after bidding farewell to them. Can't wait to go home as I was pretty exhausted and it was not exactly a nice feeling of having droplets of perspiration trickling down my forehead.

Caught sight of 2 cabs coming towards my direction. Lifted my tired arm and waved at the 1st cab, trying to get the cabbie's attention. The next sequence of event was not what I had anticipated.

The 1st cab swerved towards my direction and stopped suddenly by the side of the curb. The 2nd cab could not stop in time and screeching of the brakes could be heard. In split seconds, the 2nd cab hit the back of the 1st with a bang.

I was standing by the curb in a state of shock. Stared blankly at the 2 cabs in front of me. Soon, both the cabbies came out from their vehicles and started arguing furiously, demanding each other to hold responsibility to the accident.

Managed to recover from my shock soon enough. Saw a 3rd cab coming my way. Calmly, I waved at the 3rd cab and soon I was seated comfortably, enjoying the cool air from the air-con of the 3rd cab.

Looking through the rear window, I could still see the 2 cabbies engaged in heated negotiation. Felt bad as I didnt know an innocent wave could actually cause damage and unpleasantness... All I wanted was to hire a cab to bring me home.....

Rude..........

Cafe Cartel @ PS suck!! Don't get me wrong... its not about their food but its definately about their service, or rather, the lack of it!!

Went there for dinner yesterday with Rachel, Wendy and Clara. Throughout the entire dinner, I had 3 bad encounters with the service staff...and the same one... duhz...

1st Encounter

*checking out 2 suspicious-looking bottles at the dimly-lit counter*

Stan : Hi could I check which one of this is the pepper?

Waiter : Not sure. Take anyone lor...

Stan : thanks *gosh...might as well don't answer me....*


2nd Encounter

*looking for a clean knife at the dimly-lit counter*

Waiter : YES CAN I HELP YOU?

Stan : Erm.. can I have a clean knife?

Waiter : *pointing at the cutlery basket* HELP YOURSELF LOR

Stan : *Almost fainted*


3rd Encounter

Stan : Hi can I have some serviettes please?

Waiter : You see my colleague there? *pointing at a girl who is busy cleaning the tables* You check with her lor

Stan : *can't take it anymore* OK!!



Wa biang eh.... even if Cafe Cartel wants to hire part-timers (which I think he is, judging from his looks) shouldn't proper training be given? Tsk Tsk Tsk.....

Sizzling Sizzler

Met up with Watson, Anson, Yuting, Stephen, Ian and Eric last Friday for a post-birthday celebration for Stephen. Went Sizzler @ Suntec for dinner. Gosh.... it was indeed filling for us as we had lotsa food from their salad bar other than our main courses :) As usual, we had our fave post-dinner activity... i.e. cam-whoring!!! haha :p

Wonder why Eric was not in the pictures? Well... Eric decided to act cam-virgin instead of joining the cam-whores clique... Eeww~~~~

Eventful Sunday

Had an eventful day last Sunday. Met up with Ricky for tea and Paul for KTV session.



A professional cam-whore on the MRT? Haha :p




Met Ricky at Bakerzin, Paragon. Stupid Ricky excitedly showed me his scars on his leg. (Poor boi had an accident few months back). Though he was still limping when I met him, I was glad that at least he was recovering well :) Oh, let me show you his scars (not for the faint-hearted)


Scar 1 : At Ricky's ankle




Scar 2 : On Ricky's calf





Ok enough of scary pictures.... let me recommend 2 delectable desserts from Bakerzin :)






1) warm chocolate cake - look at that!! Isn't that beautiful? Chocolate oozes out once you bite the cake.. Simply heavenly... Stan gives it a rating of 4.5 out of 5!!





2) sweet pleasure - a must have for all chocolate lovers!! Sweet, crunchy, mmm..... simply indescribable
Stan gives it a rating of 4 out of 5 :)




Had a greaat time having cakes and catching up with Ricky. Eh RK, we should do this more often hahaa :)





Proceeded to meet Paul for KTV at Partyworld Ochard after bidding farewell to Ricky.




Haha even in KTV we still would not give up the chance to cam-whore :p

Finally....A Closure....A Fresh Start...

After 3 months.... finally.... a closure to the entire episode.....

Met up with ** on Tuesday.... Returned the remnants of **'s stuff that had been lying at my place...... There would be no more excuses of meeting each other up.......Cleared all the memories of ** from my room....Suddenly my room became more spacious.... sooo spacious that I could breathe the air of relief and freedom....

Finally, after months of going through the ambiguity of my relationship with **, I can now look forward and carry on my life with pride and dignity.... No more heartaches and silly reminisces...

A fresh start... a new me :)

**, get out of my life!!! We don't need each other anymore!! Live well and take care!!!


Stanley is resurrected and reborn!!!!!!

Getting Older...

In 2 days time, which is this coming Friday, I will be 1 yr older!! Gosh... how time flies......Unknowingly, I will reach the last year of my twenties real soon...


Looking back, for the past years of my life, I did not really accomplished much.... I have practically nothing under my name whereas most of my peers are owning houses, cars etc. The best thing is, after slogging in the corporate world for almost 6 years, my remuneration is still uncomparable to most of them.... sianzz.....Material stuff aside, I don't even have a driving license or a Degree.... Gosh.....

Guess I got to make a resolution on my birthday.... To be a better person, or rather, to excel in both my personal and work life....Hope my birthday marks the positive turning point in my life... Wish me luck guys :)
