my oh my oh my.

are we so advanced that we got it down to the exact minute when milk will go bad? i'm really curious about that. i checked another carton of milk and it said 23:30. i'd like to know if that is really the expiration time. cos that is pretty sci-fi. anyone can enlighten me? will the milk turn sour at 3.08pm on the 6th of feb? i'm tempted to leave bit of milk till after the expiry time to taste it. by the way, this milk is expensive. over 3 bucks. i've switched to daisy hi-lo. why don't they sell milk in bigger cartons/bottles like in perth? these tall tower cartons don't hold a lot of milk. which is prob why daisy hi-lo has the buy two packs for a cheaper price deal.

singapore singapore singapore!



pretty tame match compared to the last one against myanmar in the stadium. but still fun nonetheless. final match in stadium before it's torn down. thankfully singapore won. amazing.



no photos cos i didn't bring digicam along. cong took some photos with his holga so i'll be waiting to see how they look like.

Day 10



ahhh finally it's the last day. today the main thing was the cleaner's coming in to do a thorough cleaning. though i don't know how thorough it was cos i went for a swim at tp. by the time i got back i thought everything was ok but then in the afternoon there was an invasion. supervisors, workers, inspector and neighbours suddenly poured in and last minute touch ups were made to the ceiling and stuff. right now the guy is painting my living room. that's the last room to be painted. then we have to clean up the living room tomorrow and everything will be over for now. which is good cos i've had it with all the works for now. had my first home-cooked meal in ten days and it tasted pretty good.



here are the last batch of photos.









this is last night with all my stuff moved to the middle of the room so that painting can be done. what a goddamn mess. i had to clear it up and move everything back the first thing this morning when i woke up. you can see 3 clocks already in that photo and one more is under that mass of wire. yeah lots of clocks in my room.









dig my freshly painted room. this is the closest as to the actual colour as i can get it on my cam. its just a little lighter than the photo and the ceiling is white. goes really well together. drop by to have a look at its actual shade. yeah that's smarty and mickey up there. there's another smarty on the other side of mickey blocked by the air-con. they're all like "welcome to the room y'all!" to everyone who looks in. the other smarty is blind cos when i was young, i somehow decided to draw doodley circles all over his eyes/glasses and then after that i decided it wasn't that nice so i put some liquid paper over it. then i decided it wasn't too nice again and proceeded to scrape it off with the original pen i used. so...he's fucked up pretty bad. but he's still like "welcome!" and all that.











yeah new bathroom fittings. posh looking towel rack. toiletry racks. and a mirror. my shower gel is still all lonely while my shokubutsu is all like "hey how's it goin'?" but my shampoo is not even looking and more concerned with the prickly heat now.









toilet. racks. grab bar. blah. i dig the ass-washer. that sucker is one powerful spray. ok that sounds sick. i use it to blast the floor when it's dirty. really.









here's a buncha photos showing the renovation of the bathroom. you know the drill people, don't make me explain how to make sense of it again.









ditto for the toilet. one photo less cos i didn't take a proper photo of the toilet one day.









well that's the end. for those of you whom i've related this snippet to before, here's good old donald flipping the bird while he presumably heads off to bed. yes that's right. he's giving you the finger. this is part of the motif of one of my old bedsheets. you can see the whole thing in the first photo. i slept on this bedsheet when i was a little kid (and now too). and i realised that donald was flipping me off around then too. and you wonder why i cuss so much. keep this in mind when you buy bedsheets for your kids next time.



ah that's it. last update. there's no telling when the next post will arrive seeing how i'm not duty-bound to anymore. so whatever. maybe if there's something interesting going on with the upgrading around here i'll post more photos. adieu suckers.

Day 9



no proper update today boys and girls. cos my room has just been painted and everything is in the middle of the room away from the walls and in a big mess. anyway there is nothing to show for today except some new fittings in the bathroom and toilet. so tune in tomorrow night for the final update for this series.

Day 8



mmmmmmmmm i just took a shower in my new bathroom and my friends it was exponentially better than showering in a dirty portable toilet. so yeah i'm feeling pretty good. there's still some stuff to be put up in the bathroom and toilet. racks and stuff. but that isn't too much of a hassle. also as an added bonus, my house is getting a new coat of paint. my mother's paying this guy to do it so he does the painting work at night. he did the master bedroom tonight and tomorrow it will be my room then the day after it's the living room. a colour called 'peace' which just looks like light blue with a tinge of green. not quite torquoise yet.



on to the photos.









yeah dismantle that sucker. that's sheng long the plumbing guy getting rid of the portable toilet first thing in the morning. the other guy is waiting to grab the base.









goodbye you shithole. look at how dirty it is. all that dirt is from being in the proximity of all the upgrading work in the day. i had to shower in that muck. ugh. good riddance.









so after the tile repairs were finished and the bathroom and toilet works were done for the day, these two fellas came around and gave the kitchen a good scrubdown. they were pretty good at it. but i swept and mopped the whole place again after they were done. doesn't feel clean enough if i don't do it myself.









and here's the almost finished bathroom. and the mind-boggling thing i was talking about? just give the pic a once over to see if you spot anything unusual. and if you do, all i can say to the inevitable question is - i don't know.









and the toilet. come to think of it. i haven't used the toilet yet. hm.



yeah alright so that's almost it. the next day is for the last minute odds and ends. and then the 10th day is for cleaning and inspection by the head supervisor. and yeah there's also the painting of the house to be done. ahh feels good to have a proper bathroom and toilet again.

Day 7



more tiling work today. and some repair work on the broken tiles in the kitchen. which made for quite a mess but it's all clean now. relatively. i just had my cold shower. my last cold shower in the shitty portable toilet! hopefully. tomorrow morning they're taking that cubicle of crappiness away and installing all the fixtures in the bathroom and toilet. which means that i get a proper toilet and bathroom to use again. and hopefully the new water heater works too. but i don't mind a cold shower again. just not in the portable toilet.



not much photos of upgrading today cos it's just tiling and also cos i spent most of the day chilling in my room before i thought to myself i better get some photos. so well whatever.









my brother and some chinese guy doing the tiling repair work. the chinese guy handled the floor and my brother handled the tiles on the wall. he didn't finish his job before beating it cos it was late already and he still had another unit to do work in. it'll get finished tomorrow.









so here's the bathroom with the floor tiled up. starting to look pretty good innit. tomorrow you shall be privy to it in it's fixtured glory together with something mind-boggling.









the toilet. likewise with the floor tiled up.









new kitchen drainage cover. looks so much better than a gaping hole of cement.









the stuff that's going to be going to be fixed up in the bathroom and the toilet tomorrow. mostly the bathroom. yeah that's the end of the upgrading photos. the rest of the photos are just irrelevant snaps to fill out the rest of this post.









evening view.









caught a bird unwittingly.









unfortunately, my family's power of invisibility does not extend to our footwear.



yeah please let everything go well tomorrow so that we can have a clean kitchen again. i'm a little tired of going downstairs to use the toilet.

tiger cup final here i come.

Day 6



right. only tiling work today. and only one guy did all the work with some others coming in to look see and chit chat with him. me i sat in my room most of the day and slept for a while. today so far is the most relaxing day. cos i get to hang out in my room instead of the corridor. only thing is still no toilet but it isn't that bad. a little used to it now. i kind of like walking around downstairs anyway. now i'm downstairs so often i feel a little more part of the neighbourhood in some way.



oh a side note, are channel 8 drama serials getting a bit too postmodern or what. i haven't been the most faithful follower of double happiness but in the about ten over episodes i've watched, there've been ironic references, in about at least 4 episodes, to the show being a drama serial by the characters in the show. even in the last episode they couldn't resist a final dig. having that guy write a story called "double happiness" based on the happenings in the lives of the characters in the show "double happiness". what's this. 2046? i mean it's just a little bit of an overkill. and what about the totally snook "twist" near the end of the show where chen zhicai seemed to die and jiaming seemed to have in the aftermath married jiaxi? that's just a leeeeetle contrived hey. the kid calling jiaming papa cos he's the godfather and chen zhicai daddy cos he's the real father. the drama is getting stretched a little bit too thin.



anyway not much photos today cos it's just one type of work.









as i said. tiling works today. so here are the piles of tiles all ready to be cut and stuck on the bathroom and toilet walls.









right this should be up yesterday but i forgot. the ceiling beam and the area above the kitchen windows have been cemented and plastered over so they're nice and white and smooth now.









here's the bathroom all tiled up. nice and pretty. well it would be nice and pretty if the guy didn't leave all his stuff in the bathroom to continue tiling the floors tomorrow. but it's alright.









the toilet all tiled up. except for the bit for the toilet roll holder.



yeah that's it.

pretty nifty. i went to try it out after i saw this. it makes a pretty big folded tee. but hey it's pretty nifty all the same.

Day 5



remember when i said that the first two days are supposed to be the dirtiest. i was wrong. today was the dirtiest. cos of all the cementing work done today. man there was cement everywhere. luckily after today it's not so bad anymore i hope. i get to hide in my room again from tomorrow onwards cos all the work that's left has got to do with the bathroom and toilet. yeah i still don't have the toilet and bathroom but i'm getting it back on thursday night if everything goes as planned so hurrah for that. on to the photos.









what was going on today mainly as i said, was cementing. buckets and buckets of cement. the guy's cementing the bathroom and toilet walls.









this guy's cementing over the parts of the ceiling that are spalling. only at the end of the day when they all left did we realise they missed out a spot in the living room. oh well. have to tell them tomorrow and endure just that bit more of concrete then.









everything covered up in my room. for once i get to take a photo of my room and get almost everything in it. wanna know why. check out the next pic to find out.









that's cos the goddamn windows have been taken out. the view's great but i don't think i could get used to it.









new windows. it took the whole day for the windows to be changed. pretty spiffy looking innit.









here's a sequence showing the process of window changing. i'm not gonna describe everything so use your imagination. for all those interlacktuals out there who are confused. the order is from top left to bottom right. you know like reading comics. morons.









guess who. i snuck a picture of su-lynn as she came in for the only time today to check the waterproofing of the toilet and bathroom. it's not very clear but she's a pretty no-nonsense supervisor so i didn't want to be caught. was pretending to look into the bedroom while i pointed my camera at her. wouldn't ah chuan love to have this photo.









so here's the bathroom. newly cemented walls. and new windows too.









toilet. also newly cemented walls. and i'm sure there's new windows too but i forgot to take notice.



right so that's that. nothing much else exciting happened today. i got to take a short nap on my chair in my room in the afternoon as the workers went on with their work. it must have been nice seeing me sleeping in my room as they toiled. but i was really beat. oh well. 5 more days to go.

so this is where i beat it to yesterday. went over to ted's in the afternoon after going to an NTU talk with yaowei before that. we went early cos i wanted to and i took a nap there and then we started to cook the food we brought along for the dinner. chicken wings and fish. wings in the oven and fish in the hot oil.









ted's dogs. that's moey on the left and moe on the right. moe's the fattest dachshund you'll ever see while moey is just a noisy bitch. can't remember what breed she is though. always forget. one of the few photos in which they actually kept still long enough for me to get a decent shot of them.









yaowei and elaine frying up the dory in the kitchen. fry that fish yaowei. fry the fuck out of it. that blurry thing is ted's arm.









stuffed and sucking. my favourite muslim rash, wendy, grace, ansen and ted.









singapore just scored the first goal against indonesia. and everyone came over from the dining table to check out the action. which was good cos everyone decided to pay attention to the match after that.







and so after the match we walked to the old SA school site to do a little nightwalk and ghosthunt. i arm myself with my camera and took a bunch of pictures hoping to get something.







and look what i get. a whole bunch of orbs in this photo. this was the only photo that had "anything" in it. and there was "nothing" interesting in the school shots.









old woodsville site. given the old makeover so that it looks newer. it's dark as ass here. we're up on the old prefects' tower as i take this photo.









the tower we were at the top of. at the very top used to be a bell and rumour has it that a prefect hung himself from the bell once. which made the walk up pretty damn exciting. but not as exciting as the time in sec 3 when i had to walk up the tower myself in pitch darkness at 6am in the morning. that was fucking spooky.









and the obligatory group photo which i think we have never taken before. elaine, yaowei, wendy, rash, ted, grace, ansen, cong and me. titus left early. lit siong and joanna were not back in singapore yet. jasman wasn't there again.



upgrading resumes tomorrow and it's the day they change all the windows in the house. i have to move my bed and some stuff later before i sleep. man what a pain. i'm beginning to get really fucking sick of this upgrading.



oh well.

Day 4



this is a day late cos i got back too late last night and was too tired to post an update.



yesterday upgrading work started in my next door neighbour's house so they're hanging around the corridor too and also hanging out in the next neighbour's place. soon all four units on this side of the block are going to be undergoing upgrading work and this corridor is going to be crowded as fuck. already today there was no space to even stand around. anyway work in my house ended early today cos they're still doing waterproofing and stuff like that and more spalling concrete repairs. here's the pictures.









this guy is the guy who does the spalling concrete repairs. my mother calls him samurai cos she says he looks fierce and like a warrior/samurai. i think it's just cos when she first saw him his face was caked with dust and he had his goggles on his head and bandana. he does look pretty dissatisfied most of the time.









neighbour's place with the plastic sealing. dust and dirt everywhere. at least my neighbours are pleasant people. a young couple with a little boy. makes upgrading a little more tolerable.









i am starting to question the materials used for upgrading. as far as i know niger seeds are for feeding birds and wheat flour? i really don't want to be able to eat my living quarters. torch brand or not i'm still not very keen on the idea.









and guess who showed up again today? my brother is back and my mother's got a new job for him. hack down more tiles. so here he is being a daredevil and making a mess out of the place again.









upgrading is boring dude. an even more unshaven me.










and here's loveable old ah chuan. i checked with my mother and his name is ah chuan not ah guan. here you see what he does best. kaopehkaobu-ing. that indian guy is the guy who was taking pictures in my flat on the first day. he really doesn't like ah chuan much. ah chuan is always scolding people in a real kaopehkaobu voice. later on i heard ah chuan telling a worker "you know i scared what? i scared su-lynn see the blahblah". su-lynn is that lady supervisor i was talking about in one of the previous posts. ah chuan's a real wuss when she's involved. all act in control and shit. it's really amusing.










my neighbour's toilet. all the upgrading work around the place caused three window panels to fall off in her toilet and it shattered everywhere. the glass bits were all over the kitchen floor even. after this happened i was called onto the scene to take some photos as proof/evidence whatever. i'm a threat to the contractor's i am.










the quiet queen of all that is covered. quiet (actually not really) cos she's got a sore throat. don't mess with this mama in her home. she's got you in her sights.










anyway i beat it to meet yaowei and then go to ted's place and on my way out to the main road i chanced upon baby jesus omg having a nap amongst the greenery! then i remembered that baby jesus wasn't a cat so i legged it.










and while waiting for yaowei at bugis i took a pit-stop in the toilet and omg guess what. my ass is on something that christopher lee's ass was on! and just like 3 days ago even! like our asses are almost like touching each other! fuck that is so gay.



later on we went to ted's for dinner and that was really fun. singapore beat indonesia 3-1 which is pretty amazing. i mean. i'm not against singapore i'm totally for us but taking a reality check, beating indonesia 3-1 is something i would never have imagined. singapore's got a fighting chance at winning the tournament now. hope they don't screw it up.



no photos of the bathroom and toilet this time cos they look practically the same as before just with a bit more cementing done so i'm not going to bother putting any up.



time for lunch.
