Merry x'mas

Festive season that makes everyone so jovial and happy. Too bad there isn't any snow in our tiny little island, just waves of irritating rains. I guessed the x'mas lighting is good enough for us. All the bright lights and beautiful decorations shining up the streets in down, setting the ever cheerful mood for us. Just that on the side note that the traffic, including the humans on the street, is ever so horrendus putting a downside to it.

I can still remember that when I was young, my Dad used to drive through down to let my sister and I enjoy the x'mas lighting. All the Santa Claus with the reindeer replica in front of malls really brought simple happiness to me. Wonder if kids nowaday do get to enjoy these, with malls replacing their decorations with only gigantic x'mas trees and shining silver linings all about. Plus it would put a pain to parents having to drive past the annoying ERP gantry. Haha.

And did I mention that I really used to believe that Santa Claus do exist when I was young? I would place 3 chipsmore cookies on a plate, putting it on the dining table together with a glass of milk and hang my stocking on the door of my room. I did receive toys and presents, only to realise years later that the Santa Claus(es) were actually my parents. Do not laugh at this, we were kids, young, innocent and gullible.

Alright, I guessed I shared enough. Merry x'mas people and have a ho-ho-ho happy holidays! =)

it's xmas time!

It's going to be X'mas again. What a joyful time of the year but it is one hell of a disaster to walk or drive along Orchard Road!

Anyway, while hanging out with Seng and Henry just now, we passed by a group of carollers and a queer idea just struck my mind... presenting to you, "CSM(Coy Sgt Major) is looking at you"

(To the tune of "Santa Claus is coming to town")

Boy, you better not "walk some more",

You better not "talk some more";

You better not "drag some more",

I'm telling you why;

CSM is looking at you!

He'll give you DOWN TWENTY!

He'll make you RUN 5 ROUNDS THE TRACK!

And the worst thing that he could say to you,

is "YOU, TAKE 3 EXTRAS!"

*sighs*

Oh, you better not "walk some more",

You better not "talk some more";

You better not "drag some more",

I'm telling you why;

CSM is looking at you!

This is what you should expect from NSFs like us, nothing but military stuffs.

Anyway would like to take a chance to thanks those who celebrated my birthdays, thanks for all the wishes people, the presents, the surprise, the cakes and the friendships that we have! =D

it suck to be sick.

Grrr falling sick these few days before my 21st has actually got me simply... moodless to think of how to celebrate. Been having serious toothache that led to headache followed by chills, fever then sore throat. What a great combo. I have totally lost the anticipation of whatsoever that might happen and I am equally frustrated when people keep asking me about my plans. I have no plans, and I am more that willing to welcome any suggestions or surprises that is brought to me.

On a brighter side, thank goodness I am having a sudden speedy recovery from this morning. At least I had been able to think well and work well.

Anyway, have you guys watch the NEA television commercial about the punishment for spitting and littering in public places? (nevermind if you haven't, I am going to upload it anw) It came to my attention just now about something that is quite... gross if you think about it.



If you noticed at 0.08s of the commercial, the "kung-fu" guy actually caught the phlegm with his newspaper and continued to read it after that. This loophole is simply, unimaginably gross.

12 DAYS OF MINGJUN'S 21st! (the bhb one)

Alright so I cant get to sleep even at this hour. Insomnia effect is happening again! Then I have been thinking of a lot of stuffs, including my 21st coming in 12 days... sounds like the xmas song eh? So yours-ever-thick-skinned-sincerely had think through and come out with a list of 12 items instead that I wish to receive as present. (eh I'm helping you guys to save some precious brain cells over what to buy for me k!)

1. iPod Touch 32GB (finally more space for more songs!)
2. Playstation game console (FIFA 2010, NBA 2k10 here I come!)
3. Tommy Hilfiger watch (click here!)
4. Sponsor a new tattoo for me!
5. Illegal cable tv set-up box
6. A pair of sneakers
7. A new desktop cpu
8. A mahjong set c/w table
9. Under The Same Roof vcds/dvds (the classic, old Jap drama)
10. A new sound system for my mum's car (so that I can play the iPod!)
11. Aviator shades
12. Money!!!

HAHAHA! Don't say I did not give you all ample time to prepare! =D

Camera... ACTION!

Alright my insomnia syndrome struck back. I do have a very screwed body clock. Now I'm trying mobile blogging.

So how do I keep myself awake? By watching the random Taiwanese dramas, The Unforgetable Memories (Yi Nan Wang). Then a sudden idea struck me.

Presenting to you, the top 3 ways to make a local drama a BIG success! (with reference to foreign dramas)
1. Draaaaag the number of episodes till 100+, more episodes, more popular! Look at Days of Our Life; it went through the days of my secondary school life.
2. Have a popular, widely known theme songs! See how kids are singing Wo Wen Tian for the drama Ai.
3. Make a lot of complicated love triangles between the cast, from family ties to lovers to friends to colleagues blah blah blah... The more complicated it is, the more juice that can be squeeze from it, creating more story line and content!

Haha, wtf am i doing thinking about all these! Anyway, my 21st birthday will be up soon! Anybody with any suggestions can share with me?

Growing up.

This is one of Singapore's all-time favourite drama. It was nostalgic for me to catch them on the google box the other day at home, and it reminds me of my days when I was a kid watching it at home. And there are many more classic dramas that I would like to catch again, either on TV or DVDs; like Under The Same Roof



Now if only I can find all these shows and find some more time to watch it...

Dreams..

It always mystify one mind when we are on the topic about dreams. What actually caused them and why are some sweet while others nightmare. I am sure all of you have dreams before, be it for better or for worse. And there are times, when a sudden thought strike you that everything which lays in front of your eyes, you seem to witness it before. Deja vu.

I had been dreaming a lot these few days. Well, not day-dreaming but actually when I sleep at night (I know, some of you will say that I hardly sleeps at night). The funny things about these dreams is that, when ever the exciting part is nearing, somehow I will wake up. Either by a phone call or a sudden chill down my spine. Coincident? I hopefully think so.

An example, yesterday night when I was napping at Seng's house after late night soccer, while waiting for the early morning bus to go home. Just when I was dreaming about the juiciest gossip among my friends and *poof*; dear Bff woke me up. I was sharing (erm, whining to her actually cause she spoilt my dreams) while on the way back and she came up with this interesting, funny yet sensible reason for the recent happenings; that my brain juice cannot come out with the ending so it delayed and dragged all the content till the slightest disturbance will wake me up. Indeed it does make a bit of sense, and I am forcing myself to believe this for the optimist side of me.

Dreams, always as mysterious; but we always wish for sweet dreams. Ooooh Beyonce (LOL to Ramesh's msn nick)

Okay okay this space will be updated soon yea? Been busy with audit checks, and now it's over alr. Ladies and gentlemen, check out this page soon yea!

Proud to be one. Or maybe not?

There is this article in the Straits Times recently about Singaporeans getting too attached to their mobiles, and coming up with excuses through their mobiles.

Click here for full story

Well just some extract from the article;

"Market research firm Synovate's survey said three-quarters of the more than 8,000 respondents polled online in 11 places said they take their cellphones with them everywhere. And leading the pack are Russians and Singaporeans.

More than a third of the respondents went as far as to say that they cannot live without their mobile phones, topped by Taiwanese followed by Singaporeans, while one in four finds it harder to replace cellphones than wallets or purses."

True to say, but I am not really dependent on my current NS phone other than calls and smses..

Then again;

"The survey also found that 31 per cent of respondents have lied about their whereabouts via text messaging.

Apart from the obvious calling and texting, the top three features people use regularly on their mobile phones are the alarm clock, camera and games."

Very true and real to me, and I dare to say that I am one of the 31% of respondents. I know that I am exposing myself and that in future when I am meeting people who read this entry, they will interrogate me thoroughly and have a benefit of doubt when I am late.

But this article is interesting and very honest that technology is really integrating to be an indispensable part of our lives, like it or not. Now ask yourself, how truth does this article seems to you?

=D

The undying flame.

Sorry for not updating that much during these few days. Was kept busy by an intriguing romance book. I will introduce that some other days once I complete the book.

And In-Camp Training is so... stupid that it is a waste of time to even bother about really supporting the reservist unit. But it was quite fun to spend the night together with my colleagues, talking cock about the most random stuffs over our dinner during my stay-in night. All the comical, lame and spastic jokes that we shared. Epic.

Just a food for thought; why is it always a proven fact that absence make the heart grow fonder? Take the King of Pop, Michael Jackson for example. (yes I know its rather outdated to talk about this person) Before he passed away, people kept making impartial judgements to him, claiming that he's a freak that has a crooked nose and whatever things that could come to mind about his behaviour and image. Now that he passed away, people are crying till their eyes got sore, over this legendary figure in the industry and the revolution he made to pop music. Plus the records sales of his compilation albums, old albums, merchandise etc has soar to such great heights. Funny but truth, that it's such a weird and complicated world isn't it?

The day when I need luck the most, (for now)

An extract of one funny joke from a magazine that brought instant humour to be last night.

"I was at a store when I saw a familiar face that was on Crimewatch the other night whom was linked to a series of armed robberies. I floored that person down and punched him. The police arrived and arrested me. Apparently they hired actors for the show."

These little things in life perks people up.

I want to watch Up! but it seems like everyone else has watched it, or would not be free to watch it with me. I heard that its a touching story (please do not fill me in with details and spoils my suspense for the show) and looking at their reviews, I knew it would is a film that must not be missed.

Alright, I should get going for my mission, and people, wish me plenty of luck cause I need it very much. And please, I really really hope that my unit will not activate the recall manning.

The negative one.

=

This is a fucking ironic world.
The one that loves you the most turn out to hurt you the most.

I just do not understand why wouldn't you people trust me.

You are the ones who keep assuming that I am doing bad stuffs.
But are you with me when I am doing it?
Whatever I do, in your eyes, it's always not enough.
Either that, it's completely bad.
I am fucking tired of it already.
Since you want to acknowledge that I am the bad one;
I will show you all the motherfucking bad stuffs.
Having a simple dinner to you with my friends is equivalent to drinking.
Watching a soccer match to you is as good as betting on illegal soccer.
Driving out for convenience and to escape the late night cab surcharge to you,
is going out for street racing.
You just simply don't understand me at all.
If you ask people, they would know that I am an extrovert.
Marketers are mostly extroverts.
I like to interact with people; I do not like to be kept inside the four walls.
If I had never taken things seriously, you would see me taking MC from work every other days.
If I had not give a fucking care about things, I might as well just sleep and eat.
If i had not look upon you, I will just tell you that it's my way or the highway.
I am just trying to bear things in me, trying to tolerate everything.
Emotions are surging in my brain, in my heart, in my body.
And I had enough.
FML.

Always remember to do good.

Like what my DM Mrs Look alway say, "It's always good to do good because it feels good to do good!" Guess that pretty explain much about karma isn't it? The other day, I just gave $2 to an old man who came up to me at Jurong East MRT station and asked for money to take a transport home. Despite not having much in my wallet, I still gave him more than he asked for, perhaps to let him grab a drink or bite. He seems elated to be able to go home but nothing really did bother me.

Well today, while waiting for Seng and Rod for dinner at Westmall, I saw a guy carrying a non-camera Blackberry. He was sitting right beside me a the basement. The phone looks exactly like the one I saw in camp, one of the sergeant were using it. So I just asked him what model or series is that and where did he get it because the operators in Singapore no longer carry much non-camera, non basic phone. (if you need to, refer to my previous post) To my surprise, he was a Blackberry dealer and offered me his name card. What a small world is it eh? I am so happy now that I can finally change to a better phone and yet comply to the stupid regimental rule. Wooooooooo~

To those who are interested, here is his website;
http://stores.shop.ebay.com.sg/My-Blackberry-Shop

So people, always remember to do good because *do it like how Mrs Look always do it*

Hah! Flashback to secondary school time eh rv-ians?

let's get back to basic

Fking hell, find a good non-camera phone is like finding a needle outta a haystack. This is bad, very bad.

Anyway Happy 44th Birthday to our nation. =D

Where a boy's dream is made into a movie.

G.I. JOE THE RISE OF COBRA IS A F**KING 5/5 STARS MOVIE. ALL OF YOU SHOULD REALLY GO WATCH IT!

Nice actions, nice effects, great story line. I shall not share any of the contents of the movie to let you guys enjoy this really great movie.

True to say, watching this movie reminds me of all the 80's and 90's cartoons that were shown on tv. Many like Biker Mice from Mars, Hurricanes, Where in the world is Carmen San Diego, Johnny Quest and many more. Bet most of you guys cannot remember these cartoons characters right? Go search the net and relish back your childhood happy memories! =D

A new discovery.

In the early morning walk,
with a backpack on my back.
With an aching in my heart,
where the cold wind blows..

Nah I did not had an early morning walk with neither my backpack on my back and cold wind blowing. The weather was hot and humid I tell you. Well I was at Clementi today, after my visit to the polyclinic (well for some particular reasons that I did not report to work today) that I decided to take a walk somewhere in the area, just in case NUH do call me for my appointment.

I was exploring the new building and reminiscing my youth where I used to spend with my family at the familiar places where we had our dinners and groceries shopping. Even after so much renovation done the place still brings me a feeling of home when suddenly I realised, I have not been to the new West Coast Plaza too! Since I had the time why not let me go down for a walk? Pardon me for being such a sua ku because all my friends told me that the mall is full of food places that there is practically nothing for me to explore.

Upon entering the mall, I feel that a lot changes had been made, the interior feels more spacious and modern as compared to the pre-renovation looks, but the stairs at the entrance still remind me of the old Ginza.

Walked through the mall, quite amazed by the number of cafes and restaurants they have inside. And the fact that Nike outlet store is located there also excite me with the cheap bargains that I had aimed for another pair of dunks. Hah!

One place to recommend though, is Tully's coffee located at a small corner of the mall. Just like any coffee joints (e.g. Starbucks, Coffee Beans) this cafe has their interior made up for people to chill and meet up for la-kopi session. One notable good thing that there are power plugs and Wi-Fi readily available so patrons can hook up onto the net while enjoying their doses of caffeine and drinks. And they play really good music that I can sit there, drink my White Choco Mocha, play PSP and sing (in my head) to all the songs from Faber Drive, FOAF and many more.

Well that should be all for today, getting a little bit tired from all the drawing of graffitti. And my apologise for this wordy entrys as I did not bring my cam out and my mobile, well, you know it. Till next time, soon!

The sweetest thing.

Well, I happened to chance upon this while blog hopping through my favourites. I am not those all lovey-dovey but this video really do, touched our hearts. The confession of love and courage from the guy is truly admirable. You all should watch this;



So sweet, so diabetic.

The small spark that ignite the flames.

Sometime a small little issue can turns out to be an unfavorable and ugly big thing. The same joke said twice is not really that funny if you don't see that person smiling. One comment too many and *snap* goes the string hanging onto my patience.

Everybody has their own definition of what's cool and what's not so if you think it's uncool to do this yet I am enjoying it, please reserve your comments. You do not always has the right to do things. You're not the only one who has fucked up situations to handle, you're not the only one who feels tired, you're not the only one that feels the liability of it.

I am just tring to be patience whenever I keep quiet about it. Just so to try and appease matters. But sometime I just need a space to vent out all these frustration cooped within me.

Readers, if you want to ask me what happened, don't bother. I don't really want to remember such ugly events. Hopefully I something will perks me up soon, so that there will be happy entries.

Beyond - Love

This is one of the few songs that I had been humming around recently. Very nice.

Fresh

New look, new feel. I wanted to change my blogskin for quite some time now, and I finally did it after much procrastination.

Alright, shall update this space soon. And regularly I hope?

finally.... again.

Well hello people its been a looooooooong time ever since I updated this blog of mine. Yes, I know I am lazy but my daily life has been sorta more towards the military stuffs so... I would not want to bore you guys down with my constant yakking of these things. =D

Alright its about more than a month since I enlist. Like what my sister said, a milestone in my life. True to speak, the only thing I like inside there, is the "brotherhood" of helping each other, watching how our commanders use those "colourful" language, the feeling of booking out and most of the songs. Regimental stuffs are not really my cup of tea so, let just say I dread this service.

Some of you may find it funny how come I can come online ever so often at night, with a steady stream of photos showing me going out at night for dinner and party. Well, I was posted out due to some medical problem(I did not chao geng!) and my case will be pending so in the meantime, to fully utilize my service period, I am posted to a camp unit to become a store man. Some shiok to some, while pathetic to others, but I shall just take one step at a time and see how.

I guess that's for it now, shall try my best to update more often, be it in reviews or crap. =D Bye people!

on holiday!

Goodbye people! I am going to a sunny island for "vacation"! Thanks for those who are sending me off, or held parties and gathering for me. Hope to be back in 2 weeks time. Meanwhile, take good care of yourself, for those having CTs and exams good luck for it and bye! =DD

treasure the times.

Time flies. This is a known fact and common phrase said by many of us. What seems to be a month time thing has come down to my final 5 days as a normal civilian before I get enlisted to serve the Gahmen. Many of you will ask me (except for those who has been enlisted) how do I feel right now? Pressured? Scared? Nervous? But none has come by a positive note. I reckon I had already straightened out my thoughts and just let it pass, because there is nothing that I can do to change it, why not just let me happily spend this 2 years away? =D

So these few days has been crazily meeting up with people, and the next few days will also be the same.
This weekend: meet up with my brothers for a simple lunch or meal.
Mon: Lunch and dinner will be spent with the society people of last year
Tues: Hopefully lunch with Ferinna, then pot luck in the evening with the previous batch of society people
Wed: Hopefully lunch with Ariel, followed by dinner with the management comm of previous year, and maybe partying with clique.
Thurs: Whole day dedicated to the bunch of crazy and steady people who was with me for the whole of my poly life.
Fri: Goodbye main island, Hello Tekong!

See! I am trying hard to squeeze time for everyone! It's not like I am going to migrate and be permanently away but its a good chance to meet up with friends around.

And at the end of the day, I will be a happy man! =DD

The fine line.

What is the fine line that draws between the two sides of tolerance?

I do not know is it that I am too sensitive, or that the constant nagging and mockery have been piling up onto me. This issue has been bothering me the whole day.

Things that I really am, I cannot argue much.
Things that happened by accidents, I shall let bygones be bygones.
Things that I am not entirely responsible for, I just couldn't be bothered to fight for it anymore.

I am getting tired, peeved with patience running out. Perhaps I should really try to cool it off.

Life has been rather fuck-ed up lately. I shall let cigarettes and booze to do the trick once more, with the help of FML to make myself a pale comparison.

Pretty woman.

To show that I am not a racist from the previous post...

I am actually quite addicted to this song. I like the way how Bollywood exaggerate their actions and spice up the movie with a lot of colours, sound and dances. No wonder Slumdog Millionaire is a hit in the theater!



Pretty woman~~ The tune is so addictive!

Okay just a brief update, I have another like 2 more weeks to NS. Shall look on the bright side of life as in serving the Gahmen. Anyway, went to the Flyer today with clique and tooks lotsa shot. Will upload them soon.

Meanwhile, I better go grab some winks. Trying hard to wake up early for soccer tmr!

Rooted in Tradition, Equipped for the Future

DISCLAIMER: The following entry may seem uncomfortable for certain races. Any resemblance is of pure coincidence.

Alright, all of my friends know that I am not a racist, but this time round this issue really do bother me so much that I have to really vent it out. You this black piece of mofo. Knn brundeh! I do not know what is the fuck is on your mind but you seriously pissed me off with the way that you are doing things and the things that you say.

I think I must be lucky to come out of a Chinese school, with the school motto that say, "根扎传统，开创未来", or "Rooted in Tradition, Equipped for the Future". This few meaningful words really do teach us a lot on life lesson, how not to forget what made us and to credit the people who help shape what we are today.

And you, planning so much for the future, that you can forget about the past. So what if we are so called the normal student with normal results? Does this prove that we are not capable than those who have a different status than us? Do you have any idea if they can really work under these conditions and fulfil what is needed?

And fuck you, for forgetting about the past. This is not a way to teach and for us to learn from you. You think what you had for now is not because of how we worked for it? If you really were to forget the past, I can just ask everyone forget about the past and we see how you survive with the bunch of noobass who knows nothing! Bloody motherfuckers!

I am seriously pissed off. Just give me some time to chill and cool down.

Lost connection.

Have you ever asked yourself what would happen if you were born in another era? Some of my friends have dreams about living in the past era, like the times when classic rock hit the charts, when the Beatles were still the band of the moment, when Elvis was still alive crooning over the mic, when Bruce Lee was fighting his way to stardom. And there are those pre-World War generations where everything was cool and classic, and the pre-Media age where people seems to be more sociable, friendlier as a person than what it seems like to be in the IT age.

I have always wanted to relieve the times between late 80s to the early 90s, somewhere between the time when I was born. I don't know why either, maybe its due to the fact that I had always enjoyed watching the google box when I was still young, and influenced by my dad who would always blast the stereo with hits from that generation. And I find that the girls during that time is hot, or is it my personal preference of girls wearing a combination of jeans and buttoned up shirts.

Anyway today is Mothers' Day and surprisingly, I managed to convince my mum to allow me to drive around the neighbourhood. First step to is alway a good step towards me driving the car out! And I had a simple dinner with the whole family at my aunt's house, something we do every year but just a change of venue for this.

Other that that, life has been meeting up with friends, meeting new friends, birthday celebrations and more. Hope those birthday babies enjoy their special day!

Oh and not forgetting with the interview for the new committee. I am pretty much excited at the new committee, and really wish to attend their first event! Sad to say time is not on my side but I hope they can hold an event soon? Hopefully. Okay, time to stop. I'm left with less than a month to be a civilian. Must cherish time!

Let the music heal your soul.

Many times in our bustling pace of life, we tend to oversee the little things that could make people feel serene and joyful. Like a great piece of artwork, these little masterpieces add up to show how much love and innocence is there around the world, to make it an even better place. They revolves around us, and come in different way for us to see it, hear it and feel it. Likewise for every successful motion picture made, the sound which surrounds us play a vital and integral part for us to feel in the moment.

I remember when I was young when my aunt brought me out to the Omni-theatre to watch Fantasia 2000. I was seriously overwhelmed by the effect of the crisp clear surround sound system in the theatre together with the wide-spanning view of the animation and motion picture shown. That was a moment that I will never forget, to be able to sink into the show with much amiration.

To many of my friends, it will be surprising and unbelivable to find that I do have an interest in listening to jazz and classical music, watching opera and theatrical stage plays. These are actually the music and environment that I am exposed to and influenced by since young, together with my sister. It is a complete contrast from the usual rock and punk songs that brings out an edge in what most young people like nowadays. Perhaps sometime moving away from a preferred choice do give you a fresh new look and impression of the diffent aspect in life.

And with the recent hoo-ha over the ocntestants from British's Got Talent, Susan Boyle and Hollie Steel amazing voice that could mesmerize the whole audience and billionth of online viewers, I could not help but to search back 2 fantastic contestants from previous season. One is a innocent 6-years old girl who sang with such perfect pitch, together with her cheeky smile with the two front teeth missing. The other an ordinary phone seller guy who gave such extradionary performances, singing opera with really got the crowd standing.


Presenting to you, Connie Talbot and Paul Potts. Their voices are so soothing, so pitch perfect that they had already touched my heart, especially the little girl. Now, will they touch you and make you tear after watching their performance?

Let this be the power of music, healing your soul.

counting down...

Aight 34 more days of freedom. I should try to make full use of it.

Watch The Pursuit of Happyness last night (I know I am quite behind time). It was very nice indeed. The way the film portrayed the different stages of life whereby the lead, Chris Garner fight for survival under all the harsh condition, on how he wants the best for his son Christopher, on how he was able to balance between getting a spot in a no pay internship programme and getting the bread for the family really show how much happiness can really be once you see the achievement that you had made and the smile on other faces. Yes indeed, "happiness" should be spelt as "happyness", for it is not only "i" who will feel happy, others like "you" should feel happy too. =))

Okay, so my dad bought a new tv set. Yes it's big, but I think it's a waste of money to spend it on the backlight which doesn't really seems to affect the viewing pleasure. Oh well.. and I quarelled with my parents once again for not letting me to drive. One thing that I simply cannot understand why they are so strict and firm about not allowing me to drive out even though I got my license, and they refuse to give me a valid reason. Parents, I just cannot reason with them because they are my elders. =/

So I went to JB with Boon, Karen, Peishi and Por ge, to have supper and of course, ___ . Let just take it that I went there to relax myself and to get away from all the frustration within my family.

Oh, and recently I had a topic with my some of the society guys. Over dinner, while they were discussing about the Star Awards, I asked the guys if they were given a chance to date 3 Mediacorp female artistes out, who will they choose? Coincidentally, my first choice matches with my FB quiz answer, Rui En. Woah a girl with her own style and attitude is hot and mesmerizing to me! Seriously, I hope that in future I will get a girl like her. As I say, in future; but we will never really get to know what will happen in future. My two other choices, Wong Li Lin and Michelle Chong. Hot girls with style, yeah baby!

*sigh* Life is getting bored once I reached home. Like I am really dreading as each day passed so quickly, counting down again the days I have left as a civilian. I better turn in now, tomorrow soccer in the morning with the BFFs @ Fico!

Life is but a breeze

Another month is almost gone, and I have yet to pursue whatever I wanted to do. Let's do a quick recap what I have been doing.

Prior to the previous post, I passed my driving test. Like oh so finally this is the thing that I have been hoping to get. Then again, what is a person with a driving license but without a car. Everyday I would just beg and argue with my parents to let me drive out, but to no avail. Guess that's why I'm quite stubborn sometimes, maybe it runs in the family.

After that it was chionging all the way for bAoc'09. It was a great success I must say, though we had hiccups here and there. With so many students getting high and involved in our activities, plus the positive feedback were also given by the school and students, I really must congratulate the committee for the wonderful and splendid job done. Remember our big family and the famous quote, "Once strangers, now indispensible". Hopefully we can keep in contact and PLEASE DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THIS BOSS OF YOURS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Well after bAoc'09, life is much more of relaxing and playing. Catching up with friends, working to earn some extra cash, settling things that are overdued on my OTOT, post society member and getting to know more people! I was seriously enjoying myself and having great time until......

The very faithful letter from the Gahmen came. Yours truly is enlisting on 5th June. It's like wtf such a short notice, so unexpected. Now I am counting down the days I have left as a civilian and trying to enjoy my freedom as much as possible. After that very day I will be burdened down for two years. Holy shit! Which means I will not be able to attend the first event for the new society! =( Well, I am trying to think on the bright side and maybe take this 2 years to think through about life and the what's not, what are my future plan and all but based on the living cases from my friends, I doubt I will be given much time to do this. Shucks!

Oh well, that should be all. I'm better off to tidying up my room at such unholy hours (well I am getting very nocturnal lately) before I make myself to Tekong. 36 more days of freedom! People, better ask me out!

Au revoir~

sleepless night.

March is about to come to a close, and it seems like I have left this blog dead for one month. Like HOLY SHIT! Can you imagine how fast time flies right past you?

Well, let me just kinda update about March. Basically, I had been going back to school to help out in the orientation preparation. Well, savour my last moment as a BA Society members. Saw how much the kids grew up over this one year, and I am very proud for most of them, being matured and responsible.

Other than that, I PASSED ALL MY PAPERS! That is to say, I am waiting for the official graduation ceremony to be officially graduated. Three years zoomed past so fast, though how much I wish to graduate, but how much I missed all the fun times together with the clique.

And speaking of the clique, it was birthday celebrations, nights out, mahjongs, meet ups, clubbing, homecoming with them that makes me feel so fortunate. =D Wonderful time well spent makes my day.

And I became a good Earthling (for once!) during Earth Hour. I only turned on the fan for a moment at home. Not even a single light, nor the television set nor my laptop was on. Everything was OFF. Surprise? Well that was because I was home alone and fugly sick for the whole day. Like wth?

Well, enough of all these ranting. Sleepless nights had made me turned into a robot, running by my "battery". I can't seem to sleep especially for tonight, thinking about this and that and that and this. Wild thoughts running through my minds when I am about to sleep is horrible. I need to sleep soon because tomorrow is going to be an important day. May all the well wishes be with me. I desperately need that! Ahhhhhh!!

"The harder you try to ignore and forget about something, the harder it comes back to haunt you"

Life's an irony isn't it? Like how much BFFs around me are enjoying their freedom right, which I am entitled to also, just that mine is a little bit pushed back. Despite that, I still have my responsibility and commitment to work me through, hoping that this can be a good head start for the major concerns. Well, I just couldnt bear to see the efforts go wasted.

And if the 7 deadly sins are pride, wrath, envy, greed, sloth, lust and gluttony, I suppose I have committed all of them, not just once, but many times; like wth?

On a positive side of note, I'm finally done with Poly education. Yay! =D


"Xiang hia di? Hia di mm see cui gong LP song eh hor!" =DD

I don't know why, I keep dwelling on unnecessary things and thinking nowadays. Is it a phase that people do go through when reaching adulthood? *sigh* This is not good especially when you are preparing for your final hurdle in poly education. Geez, I wonder what will happen after that.

有些时候，就是喜欢在空当的角落里，看着空白的墙壁，瞪着空间里，默默地思考，回忆起当初所作所为，似佛是对的选择。有的值得欢呼，有的却只能后悔。历史是让我们更加了解，怎么样去让好的事情重演，而怎么样去避免之前所犯错的事。
人，是有感情的动物。喜怒哀乐这四种情绪，就像风水轮流的转。一个人不能永远的快乐，也不能永远的伤心。走过的路虽然有时非常的煎熬，但路还是要继续地走下去。我们只能够以乐观的方向前进，希望能够开创一个光明的前途。

Alright, I guess I need to sort out my emotions before starting to revise for my last paper. Till then...

I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very depressed and disappointed about myself. Hopefully after ranting everything that has been twirling in my mind I will feel better and cheer up soon.

Blog-hopping and FB-hopping around, I am quite confused about where I am standing. I see my friends all have a bright future ahead of them, be it career or relationship, and I ponder to myself, "What do I see in me in the near future?". Sound ironic but it's true, I think I somehow begin understand how my sis feel when she still has her class gathering.

You see, not that I'm trying to boast, but the fact that coming from a good school and seeing almost all your friends back then in secondary school acing in their life does serve as a gauge on how far have I achieved. I see my friends are all gearing for their university education, with some having the potential to be a successful lawyers, doctors, army officers and other high-roller jobs, while I'm still at lost on whether I can make it into the university. And having poly mates discussing about further education doesnt help in easing the worries. At the end of the day, when we fight to survive in this dog-eat-dog world, people do give first impression based on how you present yourself and your qualification.

I feel that I am too much of a broad than deep person. Its like I can be interested and know how for quite a number of thing, but never that good enough to excel other people to put myself in a favourable distinct position. There are a lot of examples on this;
I play the drum but will never be good enough for a band;
I love humanities like geography and history, but I can never excel too well in them (other than scoring both A1s during the O's but that's the past);
I am effectively quad-lingual in English, Mandarin, Hokkien and Teochew, and I can have basic conversation and know how to scold vulgarities in Malay, Tamil, Thai, Cantonese but I can never have long conversation in these languages;
I love to dismantle and mantle things around, but I can never get the technical term right at all;
I know basic software skills like Adobe CS, Macromedia, MS office, html codes, video editing, but I wasted my time in computer club procrastinating on the learning of programming skills like C, C+, C++, Visual Basic, Java script etc;
I play quite a number of ball games, but never do concentrate and excel in one;

Turning 21 this year also sorta show sign that I should be matured enough to start pursuing and paving my path for a career. Friends and buddies around me should know that I have alway wanted to start a business on the F&B side, preferably a cafe or restaurant. But looking at my quali now, how am I going to achieve it. Sure I have a cousin and a good friend who are chef, with a number of my friends who can cook quite well, but which of them would really wanted to partner me if ever I have the opportunity to start this business? Furthermore, I do not have any real savings so it will be hard for me finance this biz.

Maybe I can rely on friends. But friends do come and go; seen those and experience those. I envy some of my friends, who have buddies sticking around them for more than half of their life journey so far, the brotherly and family love. Well I do have mine own buddies in secondary, but ever since we graduate and split between JC and poly, things werent that clost anymore. I also have outside friends whom we swear by our brotherhood and alway havoc together in the past, but now with girlfriends, their own families, NS, work, we are more like acquaintance.

Goodness, I'm turning 21 this year already. It should be time for me to find someone who is willing to share my laughter and woes, someone who understand me well, yeah you know it, someone that can be my life long partner. I ain't getting any younger and I still hope to be a father by the age of 29. Hopefully....

Fortunately I still have my poly cliques around, buddies and friends who stood by me all these 3 years, when we laughed tgt, teared tgt, partied tgt, we thon the night to chiong projects tgt, celebrate occasions, pulled through tough times. Yes I am very afraid things will go the same way like how it did for me after O's when we graudate, but you guys do make up most of my life in poly and the transistion period to adulthood. And I'm sorry how sometime I seems so busy and occupied with my society and work stuffs.

Idk why I'm thinking so much now, I guess it all thanks to Harry Low. Idiot. But like I alway say, "Life is like a rollercoaster, it always will have its up and down". Hopefully I can bounce back even higher and start to mug for my final 2 papers in poly and chiong my final lap for society.

cny + projs = happy?

A simple calculation has been made throughout the whole BA cohort i suppose:

Projects + Presentation + CNY (+ maybe CCA) = Happy CNY?

Oh well, projects and presentations are really killing us, but very soon it will be over. Haha.. very soon... well... soon?

This CNY I am not really in the mood. Even my Sis flew off to the her "hometown" to spend this new year. -.-" I got nothing much to say about that. And I realised I just accidentally deleted every photos and videos in my digicam. GG! I guess the only data lost is the zoo outing, Rod's and my bdae celebration and some other random photos/videos.

Oh well, the only CNY thing I'm looking forward to is the reunion later on. 4 generations of Society members gathering together in the room for the one last time (well, shouldn't have anymore gathering..) before CNY eve. How cool is that? And after that will be having a reunion steamboat dinner with the current batch of kids. And of course, since I treat them as kids, well, I prepared something for them.

Haha gotta go alr, go fix the new toy in the room. =D Meanwhile guess the trivia! Happy Lunar New Year!

Trivia qn: CNY has always been the time to eat the all the goodies and snacks! Which of these is my favourite?

A food lover will go all out to search for good foods to satisfy his taste buds. That was what I did today morning. =)

Went down to Bukit Merah for a 15mins blood test early in the morning. Finding it rather a waste to travel so far for a short while, I decide to pon lecture (since I will never make it in time for the lesson) and venture out to find some good food alone. Yea sometime travelling alone is good because you need not worry if your companion have elsewhere in mind.

Well I recall that's a hawker around the area which has a lot of good food ratings by ieatishootipost.blogspot site. Feeling hungry I decided to walk around and find it. So I walked and walked aimlessly, trying to find it before succumb to asking around. That was when I found out that it was like 3 long bus stops away. Anyhow, the search continued and I finally found it!

Had the fishball noodle. It was alright, wasn't much in awe with it, but can fight with Longhouse one. Haha, I want to try the Fatty Chong rice and the wanton noodle next time! No pictures available as I forgot to bring camera today.

Rest of the day was rather.. rather not say it.

Anyway, here is the trivia question of the post!

Q: My first tattoo was a small dot on my finger. Can you gues where is it?
1. Left hand index finger
2. Left hand middle finger
3. Right hand index finger
4. Right hand middle finger

And the last post's answer was : What A Girl Wants

Suprising isn't it. Congrats to KPY but too sad, no prize for that! LOL!

Much known to the Facebook craze, "Pu can't believe that school is starting in a few hours time!"
Yea, kinda not looking forward to this coming term. Its the term when all the hell projects are due. It is also my last term in NP (well, hopefully right?). The emotional part shall leave it to another day. But then again, I'm sure friends and cca will give me the motivation to get to school. =)

Well these few days were spent with meet ups here and there. First is celebrating Rod's bdae, and my belated one. Yea finally everyone can push a date when we are all free to meetup, from work, from commitment, from school projects, from cca etc. Haha, went Fish&Co @ Glasshouse for dinner before mahjong-ing at Rod's house.Two days later was NYE. Spent the day baking cookies and some "ham + potato covered in cheese" thing for the society attending the countdown. I must say that the genes in culinary seems to be passed down to me. But sadly, the cheesy thing did not turn out the way I wanted it to be, still have a lot to learn. So went ECP for countdown, and games, and some unhappening things happened, but who cares? It's the start of a new year so let us just party on!

Oh and the first breakfast spent was with Felicia Chin. OMG people Felicia Chin! Actually she just walked past through Mac @ ECP but who cares? We saw Felicia Chin. Maybe this year would be a lucky one. Haha, but come to think of it, why didn't we went to take photos with her?

Then another 2 days later, it is the so called annual class gathering for 4F'05. Oh well, the numbers that turned out was quite, sad but who cares? We had fun! Haha Aston's then to Minds Cafe, updating each other and sharing the stupid jokes that we used to have. It's alway comforting to know that we still cared for each others despite all these years.

Most of the photos are up on my FB account. If you're interested, just go there and view it. Haha, oh well, school tmr, and a looooong day ahead. Gotta zhao! Ciao and DING TANG TEH!
