goodbye california (in 4 days)

oh yes.. every good thing does come to an end.. and so will my trip here but what i take along with me is the culture and attitude of a better way of living an otherwise mundane n boring life! the radio was talking about communism and countries who have been through it.. they said that there are good examples of communist states even till today.. n i was shocked to hear them mention singapore... i mean come on give me a break im gonna have to go back there soon dont have to ruin the mood before i reach right! but then again its true.. the government says this we darn well follow it.. you cant even erect a traffic light in california without the people's consent.. if they say no it becomes a 4 way stop sign where who comes first goes first and people do follow it man they do! thats called democracy! thats called having a god damn say in your country!

anyways! the last highlight of the stay here would definitely be the visit to disneyland (over grown kids are still admitted), california adventure park which was absolutely mind-blowing if to say the least and of course universal studios which appealed to me the most.. everything there is a lie! i swear they even admit it..

even this picture is a lie it's a backdrop man!!

and to sum things up the 4 days in orange county (without parental supervision) was the absolute epitome of my journey! well not so much so cos it was the oc but cos of the freedom! sadly my aunt refused to let drive there lest i get lost! so i relied on buses..

ah well it cant be seen but below the orange county transport association logo theres this sign that says bus stops at all railways... who're you kidding it stops every 3 seconds! there are designated stops for the bus but what the hell it will stop for every idiot who shouts' STOP' in the bus! of course i took advantage of that too.. half expecting it not to stop n have the whole bus laugh at me.. but nah it stopped alright..

this dude here.. is a bus driver.. whose parents fought in the vietnam war and he himself was given a rifle at the age of 7 and told to run as far from the fight zone as he could! and you know what.. he lived to tell the tale... the emotions he had whilst telling me about the war was intense man.. but well a smile covers up everything don't it? just had to take a pic with someone whose directly related to the viet kong..

and finally.. the people im gonna miss the most are my colleagues at 7-11.. yes michael did keep his promise and brought me to the street rap thingy.. it was fun tell u guys more about it when i reach singapore... and jerri and kathi will be missed.. trevor got sacked.. my uncle caught him stealing.. and a few other night shift people i dont know... all a cool bunch of people! surely gonna miss them but like jerri said.. "it don matter if ur uncle's gonna sell the shop u drop by here the next time u come to el cajon aight.." .. aight! till the next time then..

starring jerri a.k.a the dawg on the right me in the middle and kathi a.k.a the griller (manager) on the right.. (or also known as white lady)

pn: jerri seems to be aunt agony for everyone in el cajon.. they got a problem.. they drop by 7-11 and talk to her! haha n this is her best line to every kid or teen in a relationship problem..

"aint no guy or girl too precious to be keeping you go on and find someone new and tell me who it is when you've got ur smile back again" - the dawg

sad facts of life..

yup its sad i got only a week and a half left here! i totally dont wanna go back if i have my way!i miss the people in sg but i dont miss the country and the character of the mainstream people!

anyways this shall not be of singapore... have 6 pictures to upload today (trust me i've taken over 400 since i came here). my trip to uss midway was the best thing that happened in my life.. i sat in a fucking full scale simulator.. with g-forces and full axis movements and for half an hour.. i 'flew' a f-5 over the skies of vietnam engaged in air to air with mig-29s and i completed my tour of duty (or so they call it) with 3 and a half kills! lol the guy was impressed cos most people struggled getting one.. (rsaf u hear that..)

evidence of me coming out of the simulator.. alive! though rather.. 'high' from all the turning around (sgh a very big fuck you for recommending my ns downgrade i didnt faint!)

in the united states air force the captain is always on the left.. in every single thing.. radar watch towers ship bridges and even commercial aircraft adopt it (dono about other countries but i think darly mentioned it b4 its the same). that space there is big n comfy n spacious but GETTING there is a pain in the ass u gotta crawl through a rat hole n squeeze through a fucking stupid hatchway before jumping over the central control to ur seat.. (world war 2 aircraft.. not many had canopies which went up like modern fighters).

i could post a million pictures of the aircraft buti shall not.. these pictures ill definitely show to daryl when i get back.. n the pictures of the 2nd part (the tour of 4 ships n a russian submarine) to the other daryl! today was a big daryl day.. and this 1 is for the daryl whose sailing..

as the saying goes 'captain on the bridge'.. the vertical climb to the uss midway bridge was an adventure in itself.. first they screen you next u gotta be above a certain height n weight lest the wind blow u away and lastly.. u actually have to show ur damn id! well all because the view around the bridge is extensive and right opposite us was a us naval air base.. and an active aircraft carrier.. the latest in the fleet was there after coming back from a tour in the persian gulf which had on it advanced 'classified' navigation systems! so much for the explanation..

after midway was a trip to an old russian sub.. i swear it was small n tight inside there... totally screwy man.. but its nice.. we also visited 2 ships.. 1 that starred in a movie that i forgot the name and the other the 1 used for pirates of the carribean part 1 and 2.. recognize this thing?

to the depths...

also i dont know if im the only slow one here but only 2 people can look through that vieweing periscope thingy on a submarine.. the captain.. and the watch officer.. if anyone else looks through it.. the captain would chain him n use a lighter n burn his eyes and dispose of him through the rubbish chute.. nah im just kidding but i guess no one would dare do such stuff.. u actually see so little through it... i wonder how they tell man they must have trained eyes for details man!

defy the капитан (well that means captain) there's alot more of those weird writings in the sub! i wish i knew russian now!

alright the adventures of keval has ended for today... it will continue tomorrow and i dedicate the next picture to all my friends...

yup whiteboys only people thats the us of a for you!

peace!

updates 101

sea world was simply sex.. whales are huge but damn they can be show animals too man.. but freaking hell its like a scaled down version of the singaporean zoo but with rides n stuff but i couldnt make sense that the ticket is like 50 bucks? or i think it is cos the damn ticket to there disney and universal studios hollywood is like 230 altogether man! but then again its sponsored so im living it up here... biggest higlhight will be my trip to USS Midway tomorrow.. a decommisioned aircraft carrier which has on board f-18's, f-14's and the ancient f-4 phantom amongst 21 other aircraft ... its gonna be fun! then its off to a decomissioned (yeah everything is decommisioned but who cares) submarine... haha lucky me this was a military state! n then to the home of san diego padres! petco park! hope a stray baseball flies from the sky...

for those who are slothing in school in singapore... continue doing so okie! school is good.. it provides you with a sound education... so u can get a good job n pay the governemnt taxes.. (i could do a fuck you lky here cos of the speech freedom act but shan't cos ill be back there soon..) guess what! this 1 is for alex.. again cos its about guns! 1 street away (meaning like 100 meters) a shoot out happened in a house.. los angeles police dept swat team (L.A.P.D as they are more 'affectionately' known as) was down.. n this was on the loudhailer.. "this is the los angeles police department, put your hands in the air and step out slowly bla bla bla" drama can!

check out what i saw! nitrous oxide people! dont know how often its used or abused here but thats the raw shots of it!

and for all you music freeloaders who use ipods and download stuff off the web the above picture is the right way of doing it!! purchase a damn stored value card and then download it legally! and napster users too!! tsk tsk shame on you all!! thats why i dont use ipod i use creative's stuff! (mr wanton u have over a thousand songs in ur mp3.. eacs is 1 dollar so u owe people BIG TIME man) (sorry if this lands u up in a lawsuit anyway!)

remember me mentioning bout the greek american dude.. the one who saw that hot mexican american girl with me.. haha they just defined the meaning of appreciation to me man!! the second time when they came over to my aunts place a thank you in a form of a shirt came to me.. and what shocked me was when in the mail came a gift card of 25 bucks to use at this mall and a thank you card.. goodness! THANKS man... gotta write 1 back now!

oh ya 1 last thing.. was telling farhan... either american girls are loose or i got some shit good luck here.. a girl gave me a 'namecard' with her name n number in it woohoo!! lols n like i told farhan the most 'glamarous' part of it all was... i WAS CLEARING THE DAMN TRASH when that happened!! imagine... two huge trashbags 1 in each hand... someone stops you i thought she was looking for something n shes like.. "i saw you drop this..", i told her.. "oh it isnt mine (why would i carry yellowish green paper card with me!)" and she puts on a stern (i swear it was stern not friendly) face n says "take it!" so wadever lol it was in my frock pocket till like 20 mins later cos i was preoccupied in the trash and i didnt dare look at it with her there.. tactics baby... people reading... learn it while u can! and she was mexican american too! lol anyone white here is a american or chinese anyone brown is a mexican american and anyone black is a african american.. they generalize it that way... just like all the 'beunos dias" i get every morning so u just "beunos dias" them back man!

alright i told farhan ill leave the number n name here for those who have too much cash to dial an american number from singapore.. go ahead! she looks 19ish so all the best!

Clubb Vault Update

To the operators:
A 1.75litre bottle of Absolut costs 38 SGD here!
A 1.75litre bottle of almost ANY tequila costs 30 SGD here..
A 750ml can/bottle of beer is 2 Singaporean bucks.
And for comparison and fucksake, a 750ml can of soda is 2.50.. (Singaporean currency again)

Them bottles look HUGE man so thy management might wanna change your suppliers!

No wonder the people here are in a constant haze of 'highness' and denial..

one shot two shots all i hear is gunshots bodies drop hit the floor.. (u go continue the rest wanton u know this one..)

life by far

each day is different here but so far the highlights would be visiting the beach that essentially is the pacific ocean with temperatures there at 2 degrees and thank god my nose and fingers are all still intact.. view was sweet... i din charge my camera so ill be back there another day...

the social lite party (well aunt says its called a new year gathering) was not too bad met this greek american dude... he was 16 but he was the only one who would connect with me interest wise (i aint gonna talk bout no shares n property).. and so it was cars and girls.. it was mad fun.. the radio station we tuned to kinda lifted us up too the radio stations here are totally GOOD i guess its cos of the freedom of speech..

that's us..

then of course the next most interesting thing by far would be work at 7-11.. the people there are funny where the shop is (which is like over 20 miles from where we are living) the neighbourhood isnt that rich so those little joys and talk are big.. quite fun there... this was the most hilarious convy i had after 40 mins.. it was rushy in the morning so no1 talked and the manager thought i was a new worker on probation.. my job was to make sure coffee never ran out and mind u they have over 12 different coffee's there in 24 jugs..

manager (dont got their names right yet!) : hey ke-val? ur hired.. good job there in the morn..

me: erm.. thanks..

j-something: hey u don hire the owner's nephew.. he'll fire you.. he don't got no permit his just helping..

(this punkish white girl walks in grabs milk pays n as she leaves trevor says bye to her)

trevor: thats my old girlfriend..

j-something: right.. they all seem to be your old girlfriends

trevor: she is i swear she is

manager: yea yea they're all your girlfriends even senior j here was yours i bet..

j-something: eew i aint date no white childish punk.. i could be your mama..

manager: keval what u laughing at punk.. go get yer frock on n help me with em muffins..

it was stupidity and jokes all along.. and did i mention.. yong shun is so damn right when he came back from australia he concluded... its not that we singaporeans pick up a slang when we go overseas but if we talk normally (which to them is a slang in itself) no1 understands you so u gotta talk like them for it to make sense.. since ur the tourist u adept to them when they come over to sg they adept to us.. i guess its true! but for goodness sake.. drop the damn slang when u go back to sg!

and the people here are totally friendly man.. u could say hi to anyone in the malls (you dont have to cos b4 u can think of doing it you would be replying to their greetings).. oh well lunch time.. i don mind staying here permanently but too much of a good thing is bad.. plus them folks im living with are gonna move to australia so oh well!

alright you all have a good one..

tsusch!

alex gonna fail fyp..

the good times..

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious, they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seem to be (uh-uh)
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream (that's right)
In the future, can't wait to see
If you open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living your life, after death

Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you

It's kinda hard with you not around (yeah)
Know you in heaven smilin down (eheh)
Watchin us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need (uh-huh) to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts Big I just can't define (can't define)
Wish I could turn back the hands of timeUs in the 6, shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicksMakin hits, stages they receive you on
I still can't believe you're gone (can't believe you're gone)
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living you're life, after death

Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you

One Black Morning
When this life is over
I knowI'll see your face

Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I prayI'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
