B'days + Clubbing + Bball

Yay for work on Fridays, because at my workplace it doesn't really mean much work. :)

Lunch time, work colleague Flavio was raving about this tightass lunchies place near work at a place called Station Hotel. $8 steaks! I had the sir loin with black pepper sauce and chips. Very yummy. Not bad for $8 but the catch is that they charge you like $3.50 for a drink, my small glass of lemonade was overpriced but no biggie.

Had one more hour in my lunch period so we spent the remainder of it fragging (geek speak for killing) eachother in Unreal Tournament 2k3. I won ofcourse because of my awesome hand coordination. I love hearing Richard, another work colleague, cursing and slamming on his keyboard and mouse when I kill him. XD



Now Friday was when, as a family, we celebrated my sister's birthday, her's is actually on the 23rd (Michael Jordan's Bball jersey number, also LeBron's). I met them at my mom's Singapore Airlines office and then proceeded to go home, to change, then drive back out to eat at Sydney Madang's restaurant for a late dinner.

It's a Korean BBQ place. Other than it being a 40 degree day (celcius, slight exaggeration), and barbequeing, the entire dinner was great, I had my usual pork belly strips and pork meat, then tried their eel, I can't eat it. Everytime I think of eel, I think of the uglee, gross looking ones from the Little Mermaid.


Knowing that Eric's b'day is also on tonite at Verandah bar, I bid my family fare well and proceeded to meet Bao, fattyboomstick, at Verandah.

I changed into this for Friday nite:

Disclaimer: ignore my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles quilt, it's my childhood memories and Ninjas are kewl, therefore Ninja Turtles are ze best!

Top: white Dickies singlet from USA, white Puritan singlet from the Philippines, white Ralph Lauren Polo from USA,

Bottoms: black CK denims from Sydney, can't see it in the photo but under the jeans is a sky blue Samuel and Kevin belt from Singapore.


Shoes: And for my shoes, I chose my white canvas Umbro pair from Singapore. Later that night, I spilt some melted cheese on it. :/



Regulars: wooden feather token necklace with replaced leather necklace, silver necklace with tv show Charmed token, TAG watch and gold ring.

Saturday was another maniac crazie day, I drove to Centennial Park for Maria's (work colleague) b'day. She's Indonesian and she prepared a helluva lot of Indo food that I had no idea about. Now I'm not much of a chilli fan, so I needed help on identifying which dishes served were chilli/spicy or not. I'm a wuss. I still found their non-spicy food spicy. :/

I hope she likes the silver JAG earrings I got for her. Actually, I know she will like em. :)

Now taking from Seinfeld in the chocolate babka episode, at any "adult" social situation held at a meeting place, one should bring a food or drink item. How awesome to learn from Seinfeld. Don't hate! I learn a lot from Seinfeld, like Jujyfruits, Junior mints, etc.

I ended up bringing a passionfruit cheesecake from the Cheesecake shop. One of my classic favourite cheesecakes. Perfect combo of sweetness and cheeseness.

Later that night I failed to make it to Gibb's set at the Art House, due to a nap turning into a 12 hr sleep. :/ But from what I hear, he had a great set, props to Gibson. Now whether to go to Lupe Fiasco's this Tuesday? hhmmmmmz. Pretty cheap for $40-50 bux though.

Titan's this Sunday whooped some Filo ass once again! Titans toppled Fil-In with a 58-50 win, considering we started 8 points down because we were late. >_< And finally, part of my Sunday unwind, the newspaper! My favourite is to read the comics. Comics are for adults too!

Here's a good Garfield one. Enjoy!



From a convo with Bao tonite:

Bao: man i cant believe i hadnt seen u in so long
Bao: forgot how tall u was
Pogi: i forgot how fat you were.

Pogi *hugs* TV shows

Pogi lubs TV shows, it is a Chinoy, chinese-filipino, tradition (well not really, but I like to think it is) and it involves the art of watching quality TV.

Now for my 5 all time favourite TV shows:

1. Seinfeld
- the show about nothing is really about something special. It has funny observations and quirks that still keep me laughing after 10 years.

Typically, it's a show revolving around the life of 4 characters, Jerry: comedian, Kramer: unemployed next door neighbour, Elaine: ex gf of Jerry, and George: best friend of Jerry. Each episode brings a "challenge" to them all, one of which is determining who is "master of their domain".

My favourite has to be George, because he is just so silly (big salad).



2. Slam Dunk
- now this may be the ultimate anime for basketball fans. It has everything, from comedy, romance, action and sport.

It is about a young troublemaker named Sakuragi who is a freshmen in a Japanese highschool. Here he meets the girl of his dreams, Haruko, and discovers she is interested in one thing: basketball, which he hates because a previous love rejected him for a basketball player.

Sakuragi forces himself onto the school's basketball team, but soon realises he's in for more than he anticipated.

My fav would have to be Sakuragi, because he is just so freakin' hilarious. But I'm told I look like Rukawa, and I play like him, sans dunking.



3. 24
- One name: Jack Bauer. This guy is our generation's MacGuyver. He is just so awesome. Bauer is a CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit - duh - XD) agent who aggressively stops terorrists from hurting the innocent. He is a marvel in what he does. And even has his own Chuck Norris style shrine of jokes. My fav character? JACK BAUER.



4. One Tree Hill
- Basketball + highschool + hot girls + guys = perfect Pogi theme.

Long story short, Lucas (abandoned by his father) loves bball, his little brother (same father different mother) loves it too, Lucas joins the school bball team and the rivalry between the two begin, think Sakuragi and Rukawa in SD, XD. Enter the ladies: Brooke, Peyton, Hailey and Rachel. The boys fall in and out of love amongst the girls and they somehow throw in a story about basketball championships.

It's a great show, with a great storyline and a great cast and it's about basketball. enuff said

Lucas rox cos he has my shooting style. Plus he got to wrestle with Brooke and Peyton.



5. Transformers
- now this is a TV show I grew up with and one that I love to bits.

Sorry no basketball here, but bad guys, Decepticons, lead by Megatron crash land with the good guys, Autobots, on Earth. They battle for countless years as Megatron wants to take over the Universe by drawing every ounce of energy from our planet and using it to destroy the Autobots once and for all in their home planet of Cybertron.

Decepticons = evil, take over the universe, Autobots = good, love for peace. Don't watch the movie if you don't wanna cry.

Highlight below to see why:

R.I.P. Optimus



Theres a helluva lot more shows that I love, Lost, Prison Break, Heroes, Family Guy, American Dad, etc, and they all will get their mention in future posts.

Watch these shows.

They are GREAT GREAT GREAT.

TGIF + a new beginning = Japan?

Thank God it's Friday.

Let me first introduce myself. My name is Albert. And the purpose of this blog is to document any Seinfeldness in the world, fashionable clothing, food, sports, social events and whatever is on my mind at the time. ;)

For more info on me, feel free to click on my profile. I'll reveal more about myself in future posts

Now for those who know me, I'm very fascinated with Asian cultures, in particular Japan (Anime and Manga is to blame), now for someone who hasn't been to Japan and can only dream, the best Pogi can do is view anything on TV or online. I yanked this pic from a Japanese Style website.

Notice the ground and how it's so pretty? Kidding! Wow to her jacket and how she pulled off the whole look. Comments?

Pics of me will be posted shortly, just gotta find the photogenic ones. ;)
