Since i am such a good boy coming back so early today, yet feeling so bored becos i got practically nothing to do, do decided to do a bit of blogging to pass some time.. But i got nothing to write today... Hmm... Maybe i should write something like a autobiography about me... haha....
Well, i was born a Leo. 28 years plus ago on the 17th day of the 8th month on the Solar Calendar... And i am a typical Leo... Vain, arrogant, egoistic. Never ready to admit defeat... That's me... And yes... i look like a typical ah beng... But's here's some facts to clarify the beforementioned statement.
Behind this ah beng is a guy who loves to read. I've always enjoyed language since young and books was usually my bedtime companion. From enid blyton to William Shakesphere to my all time favourite Anne Rice and now Dan Brown, they has always been around me... But this bookworm was nvr a scholar. Just someone who loves literature but hates to study. haha.. Dropped out of Polytechinc and broke the hearts of my parents... And also dunno when it started, i started behaving rebelliously, breaking all the rules in schools, playing truant, picking up smoking and simply ran amok.. I could say its my friends, but i prefer to say a group of misunderstood teenagers stabling together to create a point to the society who looks down and misinterpretted them. Though thinking back now, i nvr understood wad point I had proven to them... haha....
Years passed, alot of my friends are gone. Though i was nvr proud of my past, but i nvr regretted knowing all of you. I might have missed out on the academic aspect of my life, but the street experience i picked up from u guys taught me the art of survival in this harsh society. During this period, i also fell in love with gals and the nightlife. Discos and pubs become an intergral part of my growing up process... and Boat Quay and me formed an alliance. And till now, though the place is not as lively as before. But Boat Quay still have a very intimate place inside my heart... That's the place where i met...and lost her... Take care... and be happy always... Guess it might be retribution... I've broken many hearts before... but got mine broken too... That's life...
Forward the story to present day... After seeing so many things come and go.... Booze and ciggies the two Pig and Dog friends seemed to be my most loyal friends... In fact we can be considered as the 3 musketeers.. If you see me at nite, you are most likely to see the 2 of them with me... One keeps me sharp, the other reduces my tenses.... But the 3 of us combined together.. not a veri good combination i guess.....
Another thing that ppl who dunno me well will not believe it... I have a very strong faith in my religion. And my religion?? Theravada Buddhism or more commonly known in my area as Thai Buddhism or Siam Buddhism. My affinity for Thai buddhism started at the time when i was 7 years old. I was down with fever and my uncle who is also a follower of Thai Buddhism gave me an amulet to help me tide over the illness. Surprisingly, after i wore the amulet, my fever subsided and thus the faith started. Though i was always wearing amulets, my real studies into the religion started just a few years back when i met a group of likeminded kakis and began sharing knowledge and information with each other. And becos of my affilation with Theravada Buddhism, i also started to learn more about Thai culture and Bangkok became one of my favourite destinations. I always felt so peaceful when i am over in Bangkok. Visiting temples of well known monks and excursions to the rural mountainous areas became an important highlight of all my trips to bangkok.
Moving back a few years to my army daze... I was first posted to Pulau Tekong BMTC school 2 before posted out to 1PDF becos of a heart problem which resulted me being downgraded. And in this camp that caters to the reservists, I got to know a group of good friends and our friendship remains till now. We even started a group of our own known as PopWolvez (Actually the name is a spoof off an old TCS show called PopCatz). A few members was from outside my camp, but we had fortified our relationship to such a strong bond that we are just like a family. Though most are settling down into their own families(except for me sobz sobz), but we still are a good bunch of fun... And the strange thing is... All of us are just so different from one another, maybe that's why we clique so well.... haha...
I nvr realised that writing about myself is so tiring... guess i will stop now....

Yesterday quite an eventful day for me manz... although morning started so boring.. going to work and all that... but after my work ended.. it all started......haha.... went for a haircut at Bugis Reds Salon... must say the stylist did quite a good job this time.. been maintaining my hairstyle for too long liao.. abit boring.... but now he gave me a different style... quite satisfied.. but one thing no good is.... i have to wake up i tink 15 mins earlier every morning to style my hair... haha...
Went to the National Stadium to watch the Singapore-Malaysia Match after that... the atmosphere was really good... Been close to 12 years since i stepped into the National Stadium... and i tink it was such a long time since we saw our Stadium was filled up with so many ppl... the return of the Kallang Roar, the Kallang Waves and of cos this the return of the die hard fans.. so many ppl turned up in red... me included of cos.... keke.... Cheered for the lions so hard that my voice nearly cracked...
Although the Lions played a scrappy match.. but in the end, the nerves of steel shown by the lions brought us into the finals.... "Ole Ole Ole Ole~~~ Ole~~ Ole~~" and to the Malaysian supporters... "Na na na na, Na na na na, Hey Hey Hey Good Bye" we sang all the way... all the Singaporeans all sang in unison to bring the whole of Kallang into such a good atmospher.. could still feel my skin tingling with sensation.......
Heard the first leg of the final will be held this coming Wednesday at the National Stadium... Any takers????

Chinese new year is approaching soon... haha... can show off my gambling skills again... nowadays i only gamble once a year during Chinese New Year... No life rite?? Rite... Really dunno why i have been so mechanical as i get older...
Nothing seems to interest me anymore... well almost anything... Boozing is still down there.... Getting the alcohol seep into my brains... enjoying it chilling me out... knocking me unconscious.. and falling into an eternal sleep... I kinda like dat.... Drinking has become such a routine me that almost all my frenz will link me with alcohol... c'mon dudes... i am wad i am... i am still Edwin da King... not some drunkard who only knows how to drink....
Just to justify my points... i drink to relax... to release the day's tension.. to loosen up... and there simply ain't enuff things to keep my focus in singapore.. so y not get drunk??? lolz...
Anyway, when u are approaching the 30s, alot of things will have taken its toll on me... guess i've really grown up liao... looking at myself in the mirror makes me wonder, where did dat guy with the mischievious and cheeky look gone to? Who is this guy in the mirror?? is it really me?? I've really looked so much older... only a few years ago, i am still so vibrant..rite now, dun even know whether i can still "vibrate".. lolz...
Enuff of nonsense... been really really busy... really wish i could put everything down and go and have a long holiday alone at somewhere where no one can find me... Isolate myself from the world and hibernate..Being a few days hermit would do me good...haha....
Anyone out there knows of any good places for me to retreat to??

Just returned from a company trip at the land of the Orang Utans... But i did not see any Orang Utans...keke....
Well, hasn't really been anticipating for this trip, as i felt that Kuching doesn't really have anything that interests me... And Boy!!! How wrong was I.... I particularly enjoyed the 2nd day of the trip becos we went to this Kuching Cultural Village and visited some of the LongHouses which is something like an exclusive property found only in that region... Learnt a few things about the 7 ethnic groups of the place. But the "headhunter" tribes are the ones that amazed me the most... They hang skulls from their rooftops... skulls taken from the carcasses of their defeated foes as trophies... And from wad i heard from them, it also means that if u are single, the more skulls u collected, the more u are being an "eligible bachelor". well, maybe its also a good way to impress the gal by killing ur rivals...keke....
But thotx of having the skulls of men hanging in my living room gives me the creeps... guess i am better off heading down to Chinatown buying some new year decorations rather than going around looking for prospective targets to behead.. Anyway, Haloween is just over and i am sure i dun need to decorate my house looking like some haunted mansion in AmityVille.
Got to know a few natives thru one of my collegue and boy are they friendly and hospitable... Almost everynite, they have been bringing my and a few colleagues around buzzing thru the nitelife of Kuching and showing to us the Sinaporeans really pale in drinking compared to them... Have i forgotten to mention that they also brought us around to taste the goodies of Kuching... Kolo Mee, Sarawak Laksa, Fishball noodles, chicken wings etc etc... hmmm.... Yummy!!! and not to mention finger licking good too (sorry colonel for stealing ur line).
Hopefully this short but memorable trip to Kuching will recharge me and make me scale to higher heights... Speaking of trips, i am starting to miss bangkok... That idiot Allan make me so envious.. going over to Thailand for 3 whole solid weeks!!! Guess should be planning a trip in the near future soon.... Wanna get back my passion of visiting temples, paying my respects to the famous monks, re-visiting my Guru at his home and also to see the newly erected Phra Phom statue(4-face Buddha). Its been up for like 5 mths and i've not even been up there once to see it... Shame on me!!!
Guess here's where i will leave u guys and will update again when i am free.... Ciaoz...

Life is just like a piece of paper... Started as a blank, and as the days passed by, we began decorating it with pictures and literature. The results of the final masterpiece depends on how u paint it.. and these pictures and literature will become our story.... OUR MEMORIES...
