As many of you probably know, from tomorrow onwards I'm going to work at Ernst and Young for a 3 month term, bringing an end to this wonderful holiday.
And what a holiday it has been. It all began when I was clearing off/leave from army, and a fitting start was given with Zouk Out on the 9th of December. It was then a fantastic break that was almost 3 months long as I hung out and spent time with friends and also chalked up valuable experiences along the way.
For the first time in my life, I can say that I have finally killed off a certain bad memory from the past as I realise that there is indeed people around me who will always be there and will never let me down. Although ghosts from the past will still come to haunt me occasionally, I am confident that I can secure victory over them should they ever come near me again.
And so, a new phase in my life, a new adventure. I pray that the next 3 months will be another priceless experience that I can take with me. Bring on the OLs!
P.S
OL stands for Office Ladies.

After a hectic festive period collecting angbaos and enjoying the Chinese New Year festivities, bigbrohu is back with a vengence. There are many things that I want to talk about like my sales job pre-CNY selling Yang Yang cookies at Raffles place and also Neck's latest flings with V and S. However, all those shall be left for future entries. Today, I'm going to talk about Ah Long's work at bu3 tong2 KTV lounge.
Bu3 tong2 KTV is located in the Bugis area, between the Bugis and Lavender MRT stations. Many of you will wonder, what is our Ah Long doing there? Is he there as a loanshark as his name would suggest? Or is he a bouncer of some sort? Waiter? Gigolo?
No. He is nothing smaller than a kitchen boy there.
Ok, maybe calling him a kitchen boy is belittling him. His job title may be 'Head Chef' for all we know as in his kitchen, he is the only guy there.
Many of you will know that in such dubious environments, suspicious characters like China girls will always frequent such places in search of riches in this Land of Gold. I applaud their efforts as it is with this sort of enterprising attitude that our forefathers carried with them when they first came to Singapore from China, turning Singapore from a fishing village into a thriving cosmopolitan city today. A typical Bu3 Tong2 girl will look like this below.

Anyway, Ah Long gave me and Joseph really first-class treatment in his territory. My readers please do not let your thoughts wonder too far with regards to my previous sentence. What Ah Long offered to the both of us was a grand total of 4 jugs + 2 glasses of beer. Such was his great influence at Bu3 Tong2 KTV. It is no wonder considering he looks like this.

The China girls there were definitely of sub-standard as I had seen much better ones in the form of $100-a-session China girls at Geylang. (Disclaimer: I do not frequent Geylang. It was just an observation I made when I was there to eat beef kway teow.)
At bu3 tong3, I also saw the waiters there openly flirting with the China girls. I wonder whether Ah Long have contracted any weird virus from contact with those girls as he was conspiciously missing for the first few days of Chinese New Year, citing illness as a reason for his absence.
Our VIP treatment continued in the main lounge where old tikos were belting out tunes from the 70s and 80s. We brought in a significant amount of youth and vigour into the whole place when I sang Mayday's Lian Ai ING. The old folks and China girls looked visibly surprised and happy with my choice of songs as they were all staring at us. After another few Jay Chou tracks, we left the place with a feeling of satisfaction and fulfilment.
FYI, Ah Long has since moved on to work at Raffles Place, such is his level of adaptability in terms of environments. Little is known about his illness and I urge all readers to play it safe and keep a safe distance when coming into contact with him.
And to those who want to share with us this wonderful experience, Bu3 Tong2 KTV Lounge is situation in Jalan Kledek, off Victoria Street.

Today's entry will be about my personal experience on 14th Feb, the day where love is all around, when couples repeat their vows of "I will love you forever" to each other and also a memorable evening whereby a substantial amount of money is spent by the male. The latter being most true to a certain BIG character among our group.
And so, our romantic overseas getaway to...........Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

On the girls' arrival at Kranji MRT, our resident Ladies' Man promptly did not disappoint by handing out 2 exquisitely-wrapped roses to them. All guys should always learn from his chivalry and gentlemanly ways.
However, 1 aspect of him which you guys should not learn from is his dressing. As the leading voice in army fashion, our forage into neighbouring Malaysia saw him being decked out in full admin attire, lest the New Balance shoes, as seen in this picture. His constant defence that because he is confident, he do not care about the way people think of him. I say, overconfidence is often a main contributing factor behind a downfall, especially if you are trying to pursue a girl. Anyway, our free walking advertisement of the Singapore army will show the Malaysians that we Singaporean soldiers are definitely well-fed and are prepared to slog it out without food for a period of 90 days or more if the need arises. However, everyone should know that not all soldiers is as prosperous as our ValentiNeck.
As usual, the main activity of the day is undoubtedly shopping, which is the activity girls spent the most time in. However, the same cannot be said for our ValentiNeck. Shopping is ranked low among "Things that I will do when I got free time" as he prides himself as an advocate of army fashion. Thus, ValentiNeck wearing this long-sleeved shirt is definitely a very rare sight and I advice my readers to print this picture out and frame it up, as it will indeed be a valuable asset to have in future. I wonder why after much cajoling and urging through the months, ValentiNeck has not responded even once to our calls for him to change out of his admin attire, but with high-pitched voices saying, "Neccckkkkk!!! You will look great in this!!!" The purchase is made without any hesitation. Such is what I call Girl Power.
Me and handsome Joseph thinking, what are we doing here on this day? A sumptuous dinner followed me and Josephs's amazingly cheap foot reflexology ( we did not order any extra service for our massage to take advantage of the low prices. FYI, it was 2 Malay guys who is just a little bit older than us who did the job).
Which fair maiden shall I give this flower to next year?
An enjoyable chill-out session at this nice 'pub' Zorro. I do not know how else to describe this place. The star-gazing session was really wonderful as the stars were out in full force that night, which I'm sure many of you sure enjoyed with your respective spouses. I sure enjoyed it too with ValentiNeck and Co.
Satisfied and happy with our bargain buys.
And this caps off a very happy day for all of us. Picture of the day above sums up our feelings and emotions all this day.

The past weekend had been a busy yet enjoyable one. A movie with the gang at Lido on Saturday and a soccer match full of thrills and spills at Aldersgate Methodist Church which we won 3-2. According to insider information, a big fan of this blog, Weihao, wanted a public apology on this well-publicised domain for the rough treatment and vulgarities that we dished out to his team. So here it is.
This is the official statement released on this blog: "
The Saints team and all bigbrohu.blogspot.com associates sincerely apologies for any unpleasant event or whatsoever which happened at the match against Aldersgate Methodist Church on 11th February, 2007. We regret any incidents which may undermine our names as gentleman and hope that such incidents will not happen in the future. However, we would like to remind everyone reading this that football is a man's game, and passions do run wild on such occasions. Therefore, we hope that though our actions would not be condoned, it can be understood and also forgiven."On the above was the official statement which was released after lengthy discussions developed post-match among the Saints team.
On the other hand, 14th February looks like its going to be an uneventful day with a unprecedented number of rejects being recorded today. I urge any one who will accept me as a date to please contact me via e-mail. It will indeed be greatly appreciated.
My tenure as a
cai shen ye has ended abruptly with my employers telling me that I have an unsuitable physique as a
cai shen ye. I guess what they are looking for is something like this.

Anyway, I've been surfing the net aimlessly throughout the day and chanced upon this video below. It reminded me of the good old days in Club 3 and Rush where 30 or so people would squeeze together in front of the mirror and check out themselves dancing like this. I wonder if such dancing which is worthy of appearing on "The Dance Floor" can ever be seen in any club in Singapore. Enjoy the video.
