Camp life is boring, boring enough to post a senseless entry through mobile. But the thought another secondary gathering excite me.

Anyway, happy 2010 to all and may the year be a good good year for all of us. (but how good can it get for ppl in service like me??)

Merry x'mas

2009-12-24T07:36:00.001+08:00

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!

2009-12-20T03:28:00.002+08:00

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.

2009-12-03T01:57:00.002+08:00

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)

2009-11-23T04:45:00.002+08:00

Then I have been thinking of a lot of stuffs, including my 21st coming in 12 days... sounds like the xmas song eh?

12. Money!!!

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

Camera... ACTION!

2009-11-11T05:50:00.001+08:00

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.

2009-11-04T21:16:00.002+08:00

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..

2009-11-02T02:46:00.003+08:00

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)

2009-10-25T21:10:00.002+08:00

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?

The undying flame.

2009-09-08T03:01:00.002+08:00

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)

2009-08-22T14:25:00.002+08:00

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.

2009-08-16T22:49:00.004+08:00

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.

2009-08-12T23:12:00.002+08:00

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

2009-08-09T15:37:00.001+08:00

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.

2009-08-07T20:10:00.002+08:00

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.

2009-08-04T22:49:00.003+08:00

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.

2009-07-27T02:33:00.002+08:00

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.

2009-07-26T23:15:00.003+08:00

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

2009-07-26T06:19:00.002+08:00

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

Fresh

2009-07-25T18:26:00.002+08:00

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.

2009-07-12T17:10:00.004+08:00

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!

2009-06-05T06:10:00.002+08:00

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.

2009-05-30T07:37:00.005+08:00

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.

2009-05-23T01:56:00.002+08:00

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.

2009-05-20T04:54:00.003+08:00

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

2009-05-16T10:33:00.003+08:00

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.

2009-05-11T04:02:00.003+08:00

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.

2009-04-30T07:02:00.002+08:00

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

2009-04-28T04:34:00.003+08:00

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.

2009-03-30T06:34:00.003+08:00

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!!

2009-02-27T04:17:00.002+08:00

"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

2009-02-25T04:17:00.002+08:00

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...

2009-02-14T03:48:00.000+08:00

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?

2009-01-24T14:00:00.003+08:00

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!

Last post trivia's ans: Left hand middle finger

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

1. Peanut cookies
2. Pineapple tarts

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!

Alright shall update a little keep my blog "alive". Well actually there isn't much to update about since this two weeks after school reopened I had been chiong-ing project almost everyday after school.

Well shall take a breather after finishing my part for the BB project. And there's still presentations, roadshow, tests, and much more coming my way before I can graduate and retire. Hah.

Anyway, just to spice thing up a little, I shall post a simple, random question after every post to let you people know more about me. Maybe I should name it the "Understand MingJun and treat-him-better in future" game. The answer will be given in the following post. So now presenting the first question.

1. Genie In A Bottle

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!

every end is a new beginning.

2008-12-31T04:24:00.003+08:00

2008 is coming to a close. It has been a roller coaster ride for me, and definitely a year that I may never ever forget.

2008 is a year when I lost someone special. Someone who is so close to me, so dear to me, who mean so much to me. Even though we knew that he may not make it past this year, we still do put in our faith for him to get better. I kept telling him that I want him to be there when I graduate, when I get married and so on. Now that he's gone, and cannot be physically there for us, but we all know there he is looking after us from a far away place, giving his blessing in whatever things that we do. May you be smiling at us forever Ah Gong.

2008 is a year when I am given a chance to lead. I appreciate and thank the trust and support I had from the seniors. Being the head of BA Society, getting to know and leading these bunch of kids who dont really know much at the beginning, seeing them grow to become leaders among themselves. I must say that I feel proud of them, even though I know how sometime I may be a bad example to them. The times we spent together having fun, laughing, pulling ourselves through difficult and tired times are all worth it. Hopefully we will get even better and produce a spectacular finale come April! =D

2008 is a year when I finally get to go beyond Malaysia! Yea your eyes is not playing trick on you, I had never stepped beyond M'sia (other than Hat Yai, the southern tip of Thailand) before. Don't call me a mountain tortoise. Alright so I went to Shanghai, China with my classmates and course mate. Really enjoy the short 5 days there. The weather there is so oh-my-feeling cool! But still, if you ask me to stay there for long, I will miss the sunny island of Singapore, especially the food! Woots!

2008 is a year when I got my first inked! I can still vividly remember the date; 23rdJan2008. Reason being 23rd is my favourite number. Haha, actually I had alway wanted to get a tattoo, and finally gathered my courage and rebellious self to do it. Never do regret it, and I still want more. No wonder they say tattoo are like drugs, they are addictive. Just that it is a little bit of a hindrance for your future and rather expensive. Oh well, I guess that my parents are still clueless about it, or do they? Hmmm..

2008 is a year when I get into virgin mishaps. LOL! Well to date, I got into my first bike accident (shall not elaborate on it), kena chicken pox on the eve of my birthday (most people only kena it once!).

2008 is a year when I seems to get so busy at times with all the projects and stuffs that I can forgo my sleep and times when I seems so carefree that I can just sit around and do nothing. Lol.

On a random note, 2008 is when The Little Nyonya brought joy, tears and many more to the audience of Singapore television production. I finished watching the whole show, and truly it will be a classic.

Oh well, so much for 2008. A new year is about to begin in less than a day! Hopefully with the new year, we can progress better with all the good blessings around. 2009 is going to be a fun year ahead with graduation, National Service, bAoc'2009 and so on... so till the next year;

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERONE! =D

Last but not least, wish Hui'er will have a splendid birthday in China. Enjoy!

xmas and meet up.

2008-12-29T12:14:00.004+08:00

Tis the season to be jolly, and the season of giving, and the season of love! =)

So people, how did you spend your Christmas? Did you enjoy it?

I certainly do, meeting up with the lovely people. Haha, fellow dec5th was like suggesting a xmas meetup with the some of the rest. So we attended her service at CHC on a lovely xmas morning. I heard so much about CHC, so it wasnt a surprise to me that the whole hall was packed with followers being that "enthusiatic" with the prayers. I mean this is a personal belief and faith that you have with him. I shan't comment much here. =/

So after that we walked ard Expo, before heading down to Changi airport to have lunch, or rather, brunch! Yeap, had Fish&co there, and filling our stomach with not just food, but jokes, laughter and joys. Updating each other up through lunch and coffe and Coffee Club before we left. Then the feeling5 went for our feeling talk at Esplanade. It was nice and cosy to be with the familiar company, and I like it just the way. =)

So, Boxing day and Sat was spend working and doing some of my project.

Sunday! Family day for most, while the society people went to the zoo! It was really packed, real hard to take pic with the animals.

Overnight celebrity.... White Tiger!

Overnight celebrity 2: Shun AH!

Lol seriously sabotage him. The zookeeper was asking for a volunteer. Then we just pointed at him and shouted, "BIRTHDAY BOY!". Actually it wasnt his birthday but who cares? In the name of fun! HAHA!

After that had dinner at Causeway Point Swensen, before a "surprise" belated birthday celebration for me. Haha I uncovered the plot! Spotting Siu Cing peeping, and we missed the pasar malam even though it was so BIG and bright. =x Haha but thanks anw! Love it! =D

We are family!

Old president & new president. LOL!

Yea my new friends found. Mat rock!

Haha they were so spontaneous to sing me a birthday song together when we were celebrating. Especially the girl in white who was so sweet came over to shook my hand. Scandalous! =x So we treated them some cake. So we just sat around Civic Ceenter to lepak-lepak awhile before embarking on the journey home!

Home sweet home!

A happy entry! =D

Merry X'mas

2008-12-24T16:22:00.002+08:00

These few days I have been thinking alot. Thinking about what are the next steps that I should take for particular cases, this and that. I feel like a chess player, just that I don't play chess at all. Oh, I also went out for soccer matches, movies, shopping too. Suddenly I feel that my life is back! Haha, what crap.

Anyway, this is the festive season so I shall not dwell so much. Happy holidays and merry x'mas to all! =D

mixed.

2008-12-20T04:39:00.003+08:00

I think being quarantined for long certainly set my hunger to go out. Now I am more gian to step outside of my house, for whatever reason. Has been going out everyday since Nya allowed me to. Well today went town to meet some of the society people to celebrate yimin's belated and james' advanced birthday. Just a simple lunch and some of us remaining people went to catch a movie.

OMG PEOPLE PLS SAVE YOUR $$ AND DO NOT WATCH "THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL". This film is totally boring, other than some special effects here and there. There isn't a story plot in this movie at all, except if you really really observe closely it is sending a message telling us to do good. Other than that, this movie is nothing special.

Well I don't know why I am feeling so vexed now, even at almost 5am in the morning after trying to pacify myself with Little Nyonya. Guess something can really affect your mood. Been feeling so irritated by this issue for a whole night. Don't know if I should blog this but I just can't contain it inside me. Grrrr...

Being a leader of yours I do hope that you will be successful. And through your records I can see that you are capable of doing so. You had progressed a little through times, but somehow I think you can do more. Sad to say, your actions sometime to disappoint me. Sometime I get angry and dwell over myself, wondering how I can help you. But if you don't help yourself and still go on your way, there is nothing much that I can do. True, I do alway support all of you with whatever you do, for my principle in life is "You only live once, just do it!". However we do have constraints and rules to follow, and we should also know the limits that we can go. It's just a thin hairline that seperate between right and wrong. I am not here to control you for I am neither your brain not your heart. But I do hope that you have more self-discipline to prove yourself.

I don't know if the intended person will get to read this, but this is all that I can say. Alright after saying so much I guess I can at least sleep a little more soundly. Later on got to help out in an event, so goodnight everyone.

awwwww.......

2008-12-18T03:31:00.002+08:00

Oh my gosh. I am really seriously touched by what the society had done for me. Yes this post is specially going out to them who made such a wonderful and heart-warming video for me. And I actually believed it to be really just a MSA video. I really did not expect it to be a birthday video for me. Haha, now I know why you all wanted to pass the CD to me on my birthday! Unfortunately I had chicken pox, so I can only watch the video now. Ahhhh! I'm really speechless.

Many special thanks to the Society, the subcomms for bAoc'08, last year society members.. It's wonderful. Till now I still lost for words... =)

xoxo, MingJun

Love actually.

2008-12-15T04:22:00.002+08:00

Love actually. A great film I must say, for this festive season. To show the world how to give and share, and how to spread the love. Although this film is quite old (produced in 2003) and that it has actually quite a few runs on local channel, I haven't caught it until just now, thanks to chicken pox which I have to quarantine myself. Reminded myself that I should watch, since Priscilla had introduce me this movie for ages. It's a really wonderful movie..

Love actually is all around.

Then my head start to play to the tune of "Love is all around". Nope not the Wet Wet Wet version but another one, I forgot by who. Lol. Anyway, bring back the hilarious online conversation I had the previous night. The Boy band and the Girl. I had it all saved, but just to keep the identity of the person a secret. She's part of the group, just that she's afraid to be outcast by the fellow band members with the content of the conversation. LMAO! What a comedy it would be. Hopefully they can make my wish come true. =)

Alright and another happy issue; my nya nya said that I can go out alr! Woohoo! Freedom at last!

rest.

2008-12-11T22:01:00.003+08:00

Well these few days have been lying at home recuperating from chicken pox. Like what Ming Jie said, I shall take these few weeks as a break from my ever hectic schedule. Haha looking back what he said may be true, I indeed have a very hectic schedule, from my beloved society to class commitments and others. Hah, well-deserved break I guess..

Let see, well I have been doing work from home. Yes all the reports, drafts, projects, documents... you name it I have it. Yea trying to settle things here and there through telecommunication. Hah. Then there is all the catching up with friends and transition into Facebook. Updating each other etc...

Well sorta tidied up my room, especially my study table. It was quite a sore in the eye with all the notes and papers lying here and there. And I think I'm addicted to the Ch8 9pm drama "小娘惹". Yea local drama I know but hey, it's quite interesting to me, after not chasing any real drama for quite a number of years other than "黄金路". Haha Jeanette Aw is really... awwww... sweet looking. LOL!

Alright then, holidays are finally coming for the rest you people. Haha!

a very special present

2008-12-05T23:50:00.002+08:00

This year I got a very special birthday present. When I thought that having my only CT paper on my birthday is bad, I got something even worse. Chicken pox! -.-" So i have to self-quarantine myself to prevent it from spreading to my family. So lifeless.

What a great way to end your teenage life and walk into the 2x age life. 19th birthday got drunk , 20th birthday kena chicken pox. What will happen to my 21st, and many more years to come?

it's in the blood.

Have you ever wonder how amazing Astronomy is? Or how all the complicating Genetics work in our lives? How all the DNA in our body and the tissues form us? How the stars in the sky form up to be such a magnificent feat that has been going on since ancient Greeks? Well, this two may be of different issue but if you put them together, it's a wonderful miracle.

Was having a nice chat with Ms Penguin last night, and how fast our birthday will be coming again. We are born on the same year, same month and same date. Talk about coincident. Then it became quite interesting when we share on how similar our personality and characteristic are, from being that ever generous and cheerful, to some negative things which I should keep it within ourselves. And to our surprise, almost everything that we do and how we work matches completely. Now say "wow!". I am really amazed by how similar we are despite the different environment, beliefs, social lifestyle etc that we are adapted to.

After this, we agreed that next time, the two of us won't be able to tell each other, "You wouldn't understand one lah", because as a matter of fact, we do. Haha. I think that after this, it would be hard not to make it an annual affair whereby I will wish her Happy Birthday and vice versa.

I guess this is really why there are wonders in the world. Now the next time if you ever chance upon someone who share the same birth date as you, try this. You may be amazed by it. =)

Hohoho... Nah it's not the x'mas spirit. I'm not into the mood yet.

Anyway Red Camp5 done. Woots all I can say is hope that the participants and facilitators do enjoy themselves because my class really did put in a lot of effort into planning this event, and that we were rushing through so much last minute changes due to some constraints.

And before that was the BA Amazing Race! Yeap heard that overall the participants enjoyed it so I guess this is one success! Three cheers for the project heads, after putting in so much effort and sacrificing so many nights. Although during the process, there are some conflicts of ideas, unhappiness here and there, I hope pretty much that we can forget about the unhappy things and savour the happy moments. =D

Oh well, I guess that's about it. Life's kinda mudane nowadays until Dec where lots of things will happen again. Now its just to relax and take things to my stride, going out for dinners and chilling at night. Woots chillin' head I have too!

what goes around comes around.

2008-11-12T11:04:00.002+08:00

Its time like this when I think I need to be left alone. Suddenly felt so lousy about myself. =/ Its like the opportunity cost in life; either you do this well or the other well. I guess I pretty made up my decision to put my efforts in. Yet sometimes the current situation don't alway come in the favour that you wanted. Like how the Chinese saying goes, “手掌也是肉，手背也是肉。” it's truth that I always have to put myself through this series of self-questioning and test on which to choose. *sigh* Life do really suck at time aint it?

Anyway I think I will get burned these 2 weeks, with my schedule packed fully for my beloved society and RED Camp5. Physically, mentally and psychologically burned. May the force be with me people. And thanks to one friend of mine, I think he/she knows who he/she is. Alway be there to listen to my woes and that ever-ready cheerful spirit. I'm thankful for having him/her as such a good, observant friend all this years. Sorry people but his/her identity has to be kept a secret but I think he/she will come to me and ask about this secret person. *snigger*

Wouldn't it be nice?

2008-11-04T19:22:00.003+08:00

What a relaxing day today. I practically slept from ard midnight till 3pm today. A total shockingly 15hours! Alright my bio clock indeed need some repairs...

Tell me when can I ever enjoy such slumber again for this semester? Okay lah, well sleeping for so long but being awaken by alerts from my phone and msn to do this and contact that person once in a while. Now that Tues and Thurs are no school days, but I reckon I'll still need to go back to settle stuffs here and there. Haha..

Alright, till next time again!

2008-11-03T05:08:00.002+08:00

Welcome to MingJun's world of topsy-turvy, upside down and screwed up bioclock once again. Blogging at 5 in the morning shows that something is severely wrong with my sleeping time (*provided that you should know how badly I need slp). I foresee this will continue till most of the projects are done. Oh well... that's a loooooooong time to go. =/

Anyway, what a busy week it was last week. Monday blues it was for me as I did not exactly had a holiday as I had to "celebrate" Deepavali followed by the Tues rush to get things done. Wed was lesson till late due to class meeting before having a farewell dinner with Sherwin before he left. Somehow the tingling feeling inside me still cant believe that he's in China now. Imagine having a classmate for 5semster whom you practically see almost everyday. That's gonna make me miss him even more. Anyway we partied and drank all the way till late from Brewerkz to Halo Bar and got a little toxicated over the booze and cigarettes.

Thursday was another rushing day to the airport to send him home. On the way back I think I scared the shit out of everyone in MingJie's car when I seem emo all the way. Sorry I need some time to sort out my feelings. Hah.

And concurrently over Wed till Fri was the NP@45 bazaar and celebration things with bAs. "The Wild Ones" indeed live up to their name, celebrating pre-Halloween through a big group blood donation before cheering their lungs out and partying like there's no tomorrow. Jokes and laughters fillled the whole event for us, and I can see that the "connections" between the MCs and SCOs are getting better. Phew another issue off my shoulder. I think next time I shall address them as bAs. One big family! =)

Yes I know pictures and more pictures from these few events. I will upload once I have the time and pictures alright. Meanwhile just to share with you a real classic song. I dont know why but I'm really into the songs from 80's and 90's. Talk about retro...

Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me

the sexxxxxxxxxx!

2008-10-29T01:31:00.004+08:00

School mode is so sian. I think I go back to school everyday because of 2 main reasons only, friends and society. Seriously, FYP never seem so sickening until recently. And zomg I need to cover like 7 events from now till I graduate in March. ggxx

Anw had MSA camp over the weekend. So fast another year flew right past. I could still remember I was the project head for MSA last year, so dint really get to enjoy much with the games. But this year is a different case, I am only just a participant other than during meetings. Woohoo~ This camp is totally the sex. So much so that all the fun and excitment are still lingering in our presence in school.

baby jacoob!

ang pao!

the crazy things we do

weee!

sir stamford ang

green tea & red tea

really happy campers!

Anw I guessed all of us really enjoyed the camp. Kudos to the project heads for their endless sacrifice for this camp. I must say the young ones are really the wild ones. The adrenaline rush in them is simply undescribable. Yet I can see the potential that they have in them, and I have great confidence that they will excel and succeed for the rest of their live! Rock on MSA! =)

First week.

2008-10-20T06:06:00.002+08:00

Hello there so first week of school has flew by. Been busy busy busy like a bee for me, having to stay back everyday for meetings, meet ups and many more..

Anyway, let's recap. I attended a wonderful camp over last weekend. Got to know more people around NP, and of course, learned quite a lot from there. How to set challenges and face them, and staying positive. Sure did create a huge impact for me.

Then other than all the meetings, had a brief dinner date with the ex-MC people. Sure dows feel well to be with the familiar faces that you had worked so closely before. And everyone seems to be either real busy with Uni life or attachments other than me and PSC, but I'm sure our busy periods will start to kick in soon.

Of course, I am trying my best to be optimistic and get all excited for the coming, last semester. Not sure how it will go, but I'm am pretty much confident that it will be one hell of a busy one, with the many events for my projects and BA society. Hopefully by the end of the semester I won't wear out too much!

Alright till then, I shall try to update often.

nothing.

2008-10-10T03:10:00.002+08:00

School's starting next week, and it has been a hell of a holiday. So many things happened, from life to death, from happiness to sorrow. As much as how I always am that optimistic, I still want to say,

SCHOOL SUCKS BIG TIME!

I am not looking forward to the coming semester, seriously. Hope that I can pull myself through when the days come.

Gone.

2008-09-25T06:43:00.002+08:00

Ah Gong passed away peacefully last Friday. He was a good father, a good grandfather, well-respected by his peers, relatives and friends. Even the person at the Ash Collection Center told us that he can see that Ah Gong was a person who did a lot of good deeds in his life through the ash in the urn.

There are so many things that I want to tell Ah Gong in person, so many things I want to do with him, so many things I hope he will be there to witness, but it's all not possible. But one thing I know, is that he is proud to be have all his close relatives with him by his bedside when he passed away.

It was truly an emotional roller-coaster ride, from the day he was first admitted to hospital, then discharged, and back again. The sudden call from my aunt that Ah Gong was knocked out in the toilet scared me. I accompanied him to hospital then, and thought that everything will be alright since he was still conscious and was warded to normal ward. Then the bad news came in the afternoon, where he suddenly fell to critical situation and was to have an operation. Since the op, he never woke up and was laid in ICU.

Seeing all the tubes and needles being inserted into him was really painful. Nobody expected him to be in such condition, and everyone was told to be prepared for the worst. I was scheduled to accompany him in the hospital at night since it's the holiday and I have a real OTOT job. Then the worst news came in the early morning on Friday. His BP and heartbeat fell to an all time low, and I quickly contact my aunts and family to rush over to see him for the last time, and to be by his bedside. Then he left away, peacefully in the morning. I guess he had it all planned, leaving the best for all his children, grandchildren and family members. I did not cry at all then, telling myself to be strong and to be able to send him off peacefully.

His funeral was a grand one, with all the relatives, friends, and neighbours coming to send him off. I never knew that I have a really large maternal family, with all the long distance ones dating back to China, and all the Lao Chek, Lao Gu, Shu Gong and their brothers, sisters, children etc.. Ah Gong has alway like large gathering, and I guess we fulfilled his last wishes. He was also very smart looking with the suit and tie.

But I succumb to tears on the final day of funeral with the praying. I guess the reality that he has already left us really made me cried. A flashback on the times I had with him since young, all the breakfast, lunch and dinner with him, I guess I'm not that emotionally strong enough. How he defended me when I was caned, how he bought back lot of gifts when he returned from China, how I enjoyed his half-boiled eggs and teochew porridge, how he alway ask me to eat more, how I massaged him, how I alway played around with his moles and shaver. How do you ask a guy not to tear at moment like this?

I couldn't help myself, looking at how my mum cried, my aunt cried and for the first time, my grandma cried. It was real heartbreaking. Then his final send off at the colaborium was the ultimate. All his children, relatives, friends neighbour were there when his body was burned. The pain inside me was, indescribable.

Now that he's gone to a peaceful place, I do hope he will be happy there. He is now able to find Lao Ma, and back to China where he alway wanted to be.

Ah Gong, your "dua zheang" will alway remember you as a good man, good grandfather with a heart of gold. May you rest in peace.

2008-09-15T19:27:00.000+08:00

argh grandpa hospitalised again. this time in critical condition. dont think i am coming online that often. anything just contact through mobile.

2008-09-10T02:33:00.001+08:00

Yay grandpa is discharged and at home!

Just some quick update for friends who are wondering what I am up to recently. Been rushing here and there in between school, hospital and work. Sat was SC outing trial, had some fun, before catching up with sec school friends as we send Lynn off to London. It's been real long, haha. Then the rest of the time these days are spend settling cca stuffs and work.

Just to share a real good song I have been crazy recently, intro-ed by Henry,

Outside and inside.

2008-09-03T08:24:00.002+08:00

Reading the newspaper everyday should be a joy as it keeps you updated with current affairs, happenings around the globe and interesting facts or discovery that are made. Then again, there are always a contrary to the human side of life. It really feels bad with increasing reports of disasters on earth, how global warming has created much harms to what we had done to ourselves. Floods, hurricane, diseases, famine.. with pictures showing these news in details. I can't help but to feel lucky to be in Singapore.

But human are selfish. I really hope I can have more. Right now, the only thing thing that I ever want is for my grandpa to recover fast enough, get discharged and get well soon.

Losing my sleep, better get some rest before going to school....

All about you

2008-08-31T18:15:00.003+08:00

Was scrolling for songs in my iPod to hit the drum when I chance upon this song that, remind me when I was in sec4 when there was a mini performance by my friends and I. Such memories are are to forget, especially when I have limited time on the drums and we spent practically everyday practising it.

Now 3 years have passed, the guys are in army now, and the girl will be on her way to pursue her Law degree in UK. How time flies..

Anyway, just another classic song that my friends and I shared the happy moments together..

body in sg, soul in uk

2008-08-30T17:40:00.000+08:00

Good morning people, I think I am having a BIG and serious bad problem;

I'm having insomnia and my sleeping time has gone real haywire. My bio clock works as though I'm in UK and this is very bad because I have a lot of things to do in the afternoons in the coming days.

Oh someone help me...

thinking back..

2008-08-29T03:47:00.002+08:00

Wah so fast update again..

*sigh* I don't know why but there seems to be a locked chain around my heart. I just can't seem to figure out some of the mixed feeling inside. Somehow something just completely plunged my mood to an all time lowwwwwwwww........

Rah just need to rant on something. I think I better go find things to do to perk me up, if not it will just be another insomnia night for me once again.

hmmm

2008-08-28T03:29:00.002+08:00

Woah it's been so long since i last blogged. Well some updates first

Till then again.. and hopefully not too long. =)

Life is tragical

2008-08-02T00:37:00.002+08:00

My life is in a complete mess right now.

So many thing happened these few weeks. Sometime just putting a strong front is tiring enough. Popo passed away last week. So did the my neighbour. Maybe what Brother Tan say is true, life is short, we have to live with no regrets.

Well I have to apologise to my group mates for my nonchalant attitude these few weeks, and thank them for being ever so tolerant. Hopefully the next few days of chiong-ing will be more productive.

Till then..

there she goes...

2008-07-19T23:43:00.002+08:00

Today was an emotional ride for me yet again. Was happy to see so much familiar faces, so sad to see her go. But we always have to look on the bright side that she will be back in December (such a great month) and in process, gaining a Degree in Business.

The following will be a special one for her, if she happens to see it;

Today is a day, I saw something special.
A cheerful little girl grew,
To someone so strong and mature.

Remembering the times, we sat together in class,
Talking about anything, from under the sun.
We laughed, we joked, and you drew your donkey,
I smiled and say, "I can draw better than you, TAN DABI"

Now that you're aboard, far away in Melbourne,
I hope you will do great, in the land called Down Under.
As your "Lao Da", I'm very proud to say this,
Tan Si Jun Debbie, You Go Girl yea!

Remember your friends here, and forget me not,
I'm sure your friends agree so, and they too will not.
So till then maybe in December, we may see you again,
Back here in SG, we shall celebrate again!

Yea Ms Tan I hope you will be surprised by this, and be glad that I wrote this. Cause you know I dont usually do all these stuffs. And if my memory dont fail me, I think I took a picture with you in class before we graduated. I hope you still have that one very picture. (cos i last time dont like to take pic) Anw, thank you for being such a lovely friend and table mate in sec school, being the one to keep my head clear and study. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours, and maybe if I go Australia after I graduate, I can go visit you! Till we meet again! (online or offline =D)

2008-07-17T02:22:00.002+08:00

"What goes up, must come down"

Let me do some self reflection and realization in one corner for a moment. Suddenly things just start to sink in.

Will be up and ready soon. Hopefully.

breather

2008-07-14T12:55:00.002+08:00

*cough cough* clearing up the dust and cobwebs yet again..

Goodness final year is one hell out of a hectic year. All the projects and commitment cramming up, suffocating me. Haha, well not literally but yea you ought to get the meaning. Luckily I'm left with the integrated presentation, which has to be ard 40mins and 2 more exam papers.

So another friend will be leaving for further studies soon. Have to wish her all the best. I will try my best to send her off.

And TinTin is an addictive animation which keep you on your toes. Exciting and thrilling. I like!

Oh and here's a very nice song, you guys (and girls) should all to hear it. =D

Till then...... let this blog collect some dust again.

2008-06-29T16:53:00.005+08:00

hello all I'm back to clear the cobwebs and dust from this blog. Been quite busy these few days with the huge amount of projects, meet ups, this and that. Alright some updates.

SHANGHAI TRIP!
It was fun, real fun. Weather is real cool, and the city landscape is really like Singapore, or even better. The culture there is much deeper than here. The company and guide that I have over there is great. Alright shall let the pictures do all the talking!

The Ngee Ann Dynasty?

Literally the backstreet boys
Random.
The very nice spa room
Resting corner at spa room
Welcome to the Bund!
Part time reporter
The historical colonial buildings around the Bund
Nightlife at Nanjing Road
World largest city model. It's really large.
The building is so high it's covered by fog.
World tallest hotel. Just look at the view from the top.
One of the many balls of this building.
Erm, we were history?
Artefact

Woohoo for more pics, get from me, Sherwin's blog or my friendster.

Oh and Get Smart is a real hilarious movie; "Let's go squeeze some lemons!" Argh and I have a sudden urge to go shopping. =/

Anyway, after Shanghai trip and we are back for more projects. Haha gotta go rush them out soon. Till the next time....

airport

2008-06-15T09:38:00.000+08:00

At Changi T3, going Shanghai. Not at all excited. Bye

Missing.

2008-06-12T17:42:00.003+08:00

Now it comes to the time of your life where you have friends who are going oversea for a few years for further studies. These close friends that you have, where you shared your joys and laughters, pain and sorrow together in your teenage years will be going to a foreign land to carve out a better future for them. I guess I should feel happy for them, for going oversea, living an independent life out there is not as easy. Imagine struggling to adapt in a new environment and keeping up with your studies, and no one will be physically close to support you. Hmmm.. I'm in awe of my friends.

Yes I know it's not like the end of the world, but it's not like NS too. You won't really get to see each other for long (unless I fly over or they fly back regularly which I doubt is almost impossible) and you know they are physically not close to you. Oh well, I still miss Brother Tan presence, and now one by one the people whom used to sit around me every other single day in school is starting to leave. I wish them all the best and hope they can adapt real quick in their new environment. =)

Omg Euro fever is killing me... 3 more days to Shanghai and I'm not exactly excited about it =/

M'sia boleh!

2008-06-10T01:57:00.002+08:00

As much as I dislike that one old man making so much noise, but baik lah M'sia! Aku boleh tengok live Euro bola matches dari M'sia tv channel! Woohoo! Tak ada cable tak payah, aku boleh tengok FREE matches yang feeling lagi shiok! =)

Anyway was cleaning up the society room today with the new people. Yay painted the room and everything look fresh now! Some more the room looks more spacious, I like! =D when I have the pics then...

I think I should get some rest now and then to survive myself from the late nights soccer and the piling projects. Till then...

To the end.

2008-06-08T15:23:00.003+08:00

Woohoo MR paper is over! Here come the ~~holidays~~ pile of projects and workload to be done. I think my holiday will only come the day when I graduate. Oh well...

Thank goodness there are still jokes and laughters from dear friends to keep thing going in a positive way. Especially the dumb one with his dumb joke. Hah!

And I think Boon's place is a prosperous place for me.

Here's something that may get you addicted to it!
Click here!

2008-06-04T03:43:00.003+08:00

*sigh* Where is my motivation to study? Where is my self discipline? Where is Mugger Pu?!?!

People who know me will understand that when I say I have not study enough, I really mean it. Oh well, I sorta just found a picture taken erm... well during MRSH tutorial.

That's for not paying attention during lesson. Haha omg now good luck for my paper and please bless me. =)

peeping tom.

2008-06-02T15:14:00.002+08:00

Sometime I just feel like a stalker. Not that I really go and chase after someone's personal life, but I realise that recently I tend to be more of a silent blog-reader. I can blog hop around my friends' blog, occasionally popping by some random friends' friends' blog, even though we may not be related. Haha, guess it's like how I usually observe people's behavior in public, from their dressing to their behavior.

But I guess there's nothing wrong with it, I suppose? At least I get to be updated about my friends' life, and feel happy for them that they are leading a good life. Who knows, maybe in the future I can be a good PR manager. Haha.

Goodness MRSH killing me; even though it's the only paper that I have =/ Someone please give me the motivation and tips to study. Hah!

Oh and to share a good song recommend by Brother Seah;

Yea off to hit the books! And 2more weeks to Shanghai! woots!

blabber.

2008-05-31T05:05:00.007+08:00

Alright as promised the photos from the camp and some more random photos; (in bid to make my blog more alive, "picture speaks a thousand words")

Alright gtg, and good luck for all taking common tests! =)

Fatigue.

2008-05-17T01:03:00.004+08:00

It's been awhile since I last blogged. Been wanting to but fatigue and pure laziness just took over.

Alright shall start off with MC Camp. Lemme tell you NP students that there's a place much more cooler than OurSpace@72. That place is so cool, that none of us want to leave that place even after we broke camp. Pictures would be out soon, once I filter those. But the camp was great, fun-filling and I hope everyone of us do really broke the ice. At least that what I saw during the camp. =)

Then lethargic was the word I can describe myself for the next few days. Thank goodness it's elearning week but still I hate it. Never had I been so tired, practically that I seriously dragged myself to school for projects and such.

But there's alway something called "A day" in my project group. We went to Brewerkz and watched Indiana Jones on Monday and Tuesday. Sorta like a relaxation night for all. Everyone should watch Indiana Jones, it's like a classic movie man!

Then today I overslept... and was very late for meeting that I pissed my classmates off. Didn't mean to but can't help it. So sad and feeling guilty about it. My weakness is not food, it's sleep. Like wtf I can really sleep for like 12hours a day if not for the things I need to do.

Alright I think I should go revise my ITI and sleep soon. IS days are never happy days for me.

Oh ya, on a lighter note, hope that all graduated students enjoy their graduation day! =)

Everyone's a sinner

2008-05-15T12:33:00.003+08:00

**Disclaimer: The following events are just recount. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. And please, do not be offended if you're a religious person.

Last weekend I had a weird and bizarre encounter. I guess you people are pretty familiar with religious people preaching around, asking you to join this and join that. Well I had a similar case on Sunday, where 2 people came knocking on, as usual preaching at me

"Hi, we're from Presbyterian..."
"Sorry I'm a Buddhist"
"It's okay sir. Do you know that Jesus is going to have a judgement day on..."
"Sorry I'm a Buddhist. I have an altar *points to it* over there"
"You know by saying this, you're a sinner..."
"Then everyone is a sinner. I'm sorry I'm a Buddhist and I have no time for this"
"It's okay. Bye"

Wah like a knnbccb mofo scolding me a sinner. Then what do I do? Confess to wash my sin? I know in some way some may be offended by hey, I am offended too. It's like being scolded for nothing! A lot of my friends also feel that this is way too much than how normal people would have preached to others.

Then I came up with some possible answer that I could have given *if my family members are not around*

Scenario 1:
"You know by saying this, you're a sinner..."
"Not happy ah? Call police lah!"

Scenario 2:
"You know by saying this, you're a sinner..."
"Huan lo? You chap siao so much for what?"

Scenario 3:
"You know by saying this, you're a sinner..."
"Hannar hannar you saint lah. You saint you win liao lor!"

Imagine how idiotic I can get. That's for pissing me off. Haha

Anyway, life been busy rushing through projects and cca stuffs. But it's alway feel great to know that some of my friends are doing very well with life. 2 of my close friends in RV are going to UK for further studies, like.. wow. Yea and I happen to bump into 1 of them in town last night. Feeling so happy. It's been long since I met any of them. Shall make some free time for dinner with them soon.

Okay feeling tired. Till next time!

Up, up and away!

2008-05-11T03:18:00.002+08:00

I guess it's a triple yay-ness for me this week

1) I FOUND MY WALLET! Or should I say, the kind and honest taxi driver or passenger found my wallet on the cab and returned it. Seriously I should count my blessing and not take it for granted because this is the second time I lost my wallet and got it back, not a single cash less. Thank goodness! I guess this is a good return for all the good things that I have done. =)

2) Getting well from the bugging sore throat. Yay-ness. Finally I can eat some chilli, and fried stuffs. Heh but not too much though. Drink more water and rest more people, this is a bad season to get sick!

3) Well this is only for those who are quite close to me in school. Something good for me. And hope that I can keep things organised, get back the glorious days and not forgetting, be humble and thank those who played a part. Whee~

Happy happy me suddenly remember all the deadlines of projects and such. Oh my goodness. This year will be a pia-ing year for me. With greater power come greater responsibilities, but I'm still lovin' it! Loving all the close ones around me.

Oh well, I am really excited and can't wait for the days to come!

unpredictable

2008-05-04T16:16:00.002+08:00

Ever felt that you're on the brink of death, feeling a sense of breathlessness? Life is just so unpredictable that you never know when the time is up.

Feeling very sick right now. Sore throat, fever plus a little bit of cold. What a weird and horrible combination. Shucks, this is pushing me away from getting into the mood to do my work. And I'm trying to heal my emptiness of having a wallet around me. Yes sorry TB02 I lost the wallet you all gave me as a birthday present. This sucks totally. I had reported this to the taxi company and am going to report to the police tomorrow. Hopefully there will be good news.

Goodbye world, I am going to visit the doctor, after so long of self healing.

missing...

2008-05-01T16:36:00.003+08:00

F-ed up that the Kops lost. (*#&$Q#&$# Unjustified decision by the referee. Oh well, there goes Moscow and here come the jubilant ManU fans who will come in to brag about united again. =/ Nvm at least Liverpool has more success in Europe than the devils. Hah!

Life moves on. =D

Alright my life is rather hectic now. Having to juggle this and that all together, but I must sincerely thank those who are alway by my side. Woot! Now I have more and more deadline drawing near me, and it's like only the 3rd week of school? Haha once I graduate I'm going to take a serious good break.

Hmm and now I suppose all of us are feeling the effect of global warming. The weather nowadays seriously.. ho hot ah! It's like I can feel the distinct difference walking from my air-conditioned room to the living room. -.-"

Haha I think I ran out of what to blog. Too many things, too lazy to type it all out. LOL! Guess I lost the momentum to blog. Till next time, meanwhile sharing this very nice song.

Blood gushing through the brain.

2008-04-18T02:38:00.002+08:00

So we didn't won the war; but at least I can see that all of us cheered our hearts out. This alone is more than what winners are made of. =)

Sometime, listening to different perspectives from different people from different walks of life
can seem to be very, very interesting. Fair enough, I do have my share of views, but upon hearing what others have to say, it sets you back thinking through your thoughts again. Complicating? I have no answer to that either. I guess democracy and freedom of speech is one of the greatest invention to understand human ourselves, and the feeling of others. Keeping quiet is not everything, yet it is something. How ironic can life get?

Oh and I realised how many people look upon me. "Big Brother". Haha I'm taking that as a real compliment cause that shows that I'm being respected! =D At least there's something for good about myself.

Oh my god and being an acting CEO now add to another of my rank. Haha. Didn't realised how much I have changed since secondary school days till now, well for the better definitely. Something to feel happy about.

Ahh random post indeed. LOL!

post orientation feeling.

2008-04-15T02:17:00.002+08:00

I guess it's kinda overdue for me to clear the cobwebs in here. What a hectic holiday I have.

YES BAOC WAS A SUCCESS! Thanks to all who made it a success.

To the dearest MCs, job well done. Even though how much disagreement we had before, and joy and anger that we overcame, I hope that we can remain as friends for as long as we can remember. The sleepless nights we had, the dance steps that we dance over and over; Tiny boys, "bo nia", "eh", "zhun!", feeling gao gao to the max! This may be the end of our times working together, but this is the beginning of a friendship and memories that will last with us forever. =)

To the dearest SCOs and ASCOs, all your hard work had paid off! Kudos to you guys in bringing up the atmosphere during the whole orientation. This orientation is indeed your event. I hope all of you enjoy the process and fruit of labour. My apologies for how forgetful I am in assisting you all with the stuffs requests and I am grateful that you all understand my plight. The fun and laughter, the perspiration and struggle that we had went through. I am in awe of how united and bonded you people can get, and the strength through this unity and bond that helped into you people creating a memorable event for yourselves. Once again, give yourself a good pat for the hard work done. I'm proud of you people! =)

To the sub-comms, I hope that you little boys and girls have learn something during this orientation preparation. As much as having fun, I hope you people understand that at time the seriousness and urgency, thus the strict rules given. I do hope that this is not the end of your learning journey for some, but take it as the first stepping stone. Thank you people for helping us make this orientation a success. =)

To the old birds who reap the retiree benefits, alright especially to Indah, Daisy, Mel and Boon, thanks for the advices that you people had given us. The extra manpower to help us through this orientation is greatly appreciated. Thank you people so much, and good luck for your university admission. =)

To the emcees, SB/SCs, DPA students, performers.... and all those who had helped in this orientation one way for another, thank you for the hard work in bringing the cartoon heroes back to life with your enthusiasm. =)

And last but not least, the freshmen. I hope that they enjoyed the orientation and goodluck for the start of their 3 years journey in NP. =)

Now I truly understand why people tear even when they are happy. It's the tear of joy to see that the hard work done was paid off. Now it's time to prepare for the war on Wed. Hope that we will win the war! ROAR!

Delay.

2008-03-22T13:16:00.003+08:00

Just a short update when I have the time.

Busy period, busy time. I am sorry if I have ps-ed people for the past few days. I wish I was there but... yea hopefully you all understand. I just have a sudden gut feeling that, with my busy schedule and pile of tasks to be fulfilled, my depression will only set in after April 16th. That is when I have some time alone to think about it. Haha life will be different without the TB02, the bonds and friendship. Ah well, there's is always lunch hours, canteen 1, Rod's house and birthday celebration. Haha =)

And I think my curiosity just got the better of me each time. Was supposed to just took off the ram on my pc last night, ended up remembering that I have a cd stuck in the disk drive and I dismantle it, like I alway do. So much so for being curious. Haha.

ManU vs Liverpool this Sunday, and Monday will be a silent war. Haha =x

time out!

2008-03-20T10:17:00.002+08:00

Phew! Having a short break now before continuing with my work and stuffs.

These few weeks has been filled with ups and down, joy and anger. Emotional rollercoaster I should say. Shall not elaborate much. I just hope that all my loved ones and friends can stay happy. That's the motive of life isn't it?

Been having a bad sore throat these few days. So bad that I nearly lost my voice. But thanks god it's recovering. Haha, imagine how quiet and serene my world will be without my voice? Nah I will still continue to make noise and sound through my other body part. Haha.

Yeap got into TB15 with the rest of the people again. YES! The 3 musketeers! Haha!

And.. congrats to my friends who had gotten their license these few days. One of them is taking soon, hope he pass. And I'm still desperately waiting for my BTT to come -.-" So much so for all the indecisive me =/

feelings.

2008-03-10T01:52:00.002+08:00

This is a super nice song. The video is also very meaningful, that is, if you had read R&J before.

Haha, I am feeling very happy for a good friend of mine. Such a joyous occasion to know that he had find special someone in his life, though it's still in the development stage but somehow, growing up together with him do make me feel, somehow, glad for him. =)

Oh and I suddenly feel so empty without the companion of tb02. Feeling nostalgia to the fun we had. Hopefully time will permits me to meet them real soon! =D

erm.. random?

2008-03-07T14:02:00.002+08:00

Well these few days have nothing much to update, just that I had been coming back to school almost everyday for bAoc preparation. This routine is going to last for the rest of the month which is rather, fun? Haha all the jokes and stupid things that we do. Third day of preparation and we stayed over for the second time. Feeling!

Alright, actually the main purpose of this entry is to send well wishes to all getting their A's result back. Hahah all the best guys and girls, hopefully you can get the results you want and get to your ideal school and course for further studies. =)

Okay people, till next time!

Take a breather.

2008-02-29T03:47:00.003+08:00

This week is my only holiday period for the whole holiday. Oh well...

Chalet was rather fun. Balls, tiles, cards, food and console; not forgetting bonding. Haha..

Gathering was equally fun too. Food and catching up, with all the smiles on the face. =D

Anyway, HAPPY LEAP YEAR! woohoo!

words cant describe

2008-02-26T02:33:00.002+08:00

"If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide..."

TB02, with much love. One of the best thing that ever happened in my life.

Alright busy days ahead. Gotta get prepared. =D

We won! =D

2008-02-22T04:16:00.002+08:00

This picture sums up all that I am happy for the past few hours. Singapore won the bid to host the FIRST EVER Youth Olympic Games in 2010. Job well done! Imagine the excitement and enthusiasm our nation will be in for. With new programmes come with new facilities. I can't wait for the new stadium to be completed! Woohoo! Singapore I'm so proud of you! =D

2008-02-21T18:39:00.002+08:00

superman

2008-02-19T23:35:00.002+08:00

OMG! Dwight Howard did a Superman dunk in this year All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. Amazing, and entertaining!

And I am also not that bad, doing a Superman stunt by studying for HRM 1230pm today when the test is at 2pm, a complete 1hr30mins before the paper. Overall I find the paper not bad, should be passable.. Haha, talk about adrenaline rush. Whoosh!

Best wishes,

2008-02-15T04:55:00.002+08:00

"You got the whole world in your hands, you got the whole world in your hands.." ~

TALK COCK! How big can your hands get? Alright lame but the tune is super addictive!

And how small can the world be? I viewed my Friendster last night (study break lah!) and I found out that my secondary school close friend's sister's boyfriend is actually my primary four english teacher's nephew. How coincidence. And don't ask me why I so kaypoh, it's just nice that I have a good memory of people. Hah!

"It's a small world afterall.." ~

Alright best of luck to those taking exams, including me. PAWN THE PAPERS!

Pregnancy.

2008-02-13T02:16:00.000+08:00

They say that the brain will turn soggy if it is not being used to an extent for a long period of time. I guess mine is not soggy. Haha.

Woohoo mugging period starts!

And mugging makes you hungry. I have a sudden craving for claypot rice from clementi, kambing soup from geylang serai, claypot laksa from queensway, mango pudding from alishan and so much more...

But then again, every pound is a battle. *this statement make me sound so him-bo* =/

Slap back to reality.

2008-02-11T22:27:00.000+08:00

Party's over, CNY's not over;
Examinations are here, motivation to study is not here.

Someone please give me the momentum and springboard me to Mugger Pu mode. Thanks.

Whirlwind inside of my head.

2008-02-05T01:17:00.000+08:00

"Your stupid face just makes me sick
I see you changing every day
To fit into the newest clique
I know you, but everything you do
Is just a part of you, you'll never see the truth"

So many things to do, so many things to absorb, so many feeling to sort.

Yet my head ain't pain; it's my bloody left foot that's hurting me again. Someone save me from being a staggering pirate.

Burst it like a balloon.

2008-02-04T16:19:00.000+08:00

You know how sometimes, seeing and knowing too much things make you feel sick of someone/something. This feeling sucks big time, small time, everytime. It's like you cannot put your mind and heart at ease. The trust is just not there, and you have to protect yourself. Argh!

Oh well CNY is coming and I wish all a very happy and prosperous new year ahead! Get more ang baos my friends!

Speaking of which, exams are also nearing. -.-" so dumb to have it after CNY. Nevertheless hope everyone score well!

And I suddenly miss Bukit Chandu and the gang so much =/

Born To Be Free

2008-01-24T14:04:00.001+08:00

Finally, after around 5 years of waiting and deciding...

Picture speaks a thousand words. And I'm glad I got it done. It's better than regretting not to do it. Haha. Short post dedicated to my dream. Shall blog about other stuffs next time. Heh....

It's the feeling...

2008-01-17T16:39:00.000+08:00

You know how I used to think it is silly for people to be so crazy over those Korean soap drama, Taiwan idol drama serials and so on? Now I think I had become one of the victim and ought to be shot in my head. Haha. Just completed the whole of Heroes season 1. Man this show is addictive and thrilling, a must watch for all! And the craze of 黄金路 has got into everyone, even the least expected to watch Chinese drama Rodney Tan Ah Chek is chasing after every episode of it on Youtube too. I think everyone is talking about it in between chats and meals too! LOL! Finally a good local production.

Anyway, I went back to RV yesterday. It was the 52nd anniversary and I need to go over to GCW for discussion so I might have use this chance to visit the teachers and others at my alma mater. Wow, Ms Mak and Ms Ho, teachers in Rv. Haha I can see that they are doing their job well, enjoying it. Good for them to serve back to the school. And the other teachers, I'm so happy to see them, and I hope it was vice versa too. Heh.

Mrs Look health look better, though I know she still have a heavy workload for her. 陈老师 is now a married man and a father to a daughter. So happy for him, he's a good teacher, a good man. Ms Ek still as cheerful whenever she sees me (after I graduate that is..). Haha she even hope that I may serve back to the school one day, and having coffee/tea together. 黄老师 is still doing good, and she still calls me with my surname. Mr Desmond Lim and Ms Serene Teo still working closely with each other, having a humorous and interesting chats together with them. Ms Cheang now is Mrs Koo I supposed. A beautiful wife, not yet a mum. Haha. Mrs Lee Lee Mui, still being as strict as before. Mr Chow, well as usual hah. Mr Tham and Mr Teo still in the pink of health when I Ms Ek introduce me to them.

There all still other teachers which I did not get to meet, like Mrs Choy, Mdm Lim Kim Choo, 谢谢谢老师, and many more. And Ah Hua auntie!! How I miss her, but she retired as a canteen vendor again. I will miss her alot, her jokes, her care towards us, her delicious guo tie. Omg. I feel so sad. Yea I know she's getting tired, especially tired of the dirty and rude sisters selling drinks, but I hope that she will come back one day. =D

Oh well, I think I better stop here before I heart cry itself out. It sure felt good to be home yesterday. And I do hope, that I will get to go back there when the new campus is ready.

Sunday morning.

2008-01-14T01:44:00.000+08:00

Today was quite an emotional roller coaster ride for me.

Woke up around noon at read the newspaper while waiting for my dad to fix lunch. To my surprise, someone who was a part of me just passed away on Friday. To those in RV, maybe some of you will remember a certain Geography/English teacher named Mrs Nair. Yea she passed away peacefully on Friday. She taught me Geography in my lower secondary days, and as the rebellious and mischievous us, we do poked fun and talked bad about her. But when I saw her face and name on the obituary part of the newspaper today I was shocked. Lost for word. I guess that is the difference between a childish boy thinking and a matured man thinking. Really really feel sad for her. When she left the education industry due to some personal/health problem, none of us really seems to care, but I guess none of us expect this to happen so soon, within a short period of 3 years. I can still remember vividly how she always talk about dreaming of a retirement life living by the sea side and enjoy the beautiful scenery and sea breeze every morning when she wakes up.

I don't know why but looking back really almost brought me to tears. I suppose this is what they call humanity, and at least I still have it. Even though I'm not a Christian, but I do believe that she had left peacefully into God's will, and that she'll find greater joy somewhere else, somewhere far far away.

This reminisce feeling seems to be lingering around me lately. Maybe I should go back to RV on wed for the anniversary. Since the it's lecture day and I am not really interested in going. Any takers to accompany back on wed??

*break....*

Alright now for the happier part. Today was the bazaar sale. Went down to support my classmates and friends. Became a freelance promoter who has a self-built loudspeaker within my body. Haha. Was just shouting whatever gimmick that I could think of, that all the people around me feels that I have a potential to be a durian seller. All thanks to my experience being a butcher and a vegetable seller. Hope everyone had fun today, not breaking even is not the main focus. We must enjoy what we do. Well at least I know I brought some laughters and drinks to people. =D

I think I shall end here, getting tired. Shall update about other stuffs some other days. Adios!

Open your eyes.

2008-01-07T23:45:00.000+08:00

There is only one word to describe how I am feeling now. TIRED!

Been chiong-ing HRM project for the past few days, even staying up during weekend nights to rush all the things out and finally, submitted it in the afternoon. Phew! Another load off my back. Now I'm left with ECD test on Wed, ECD project and IS project which are due next week. And of course all the other presentation which I never really do get worried about. Haha..

So I the long awaited secondary school gathering happened on Friday. I was so happy to see most of them there, as usual with the nonsense and endless teasing of each other. Though I was a bit disappointed with some who could not make it, but making the best time out of it and really catch up with each other indeed provide a breather for me from the hectic workload. Hopefully I will be able to catch up with the rest soon, and reminisce the fun we had in secondary school days.

It's going to be busy months ahead, with the upcoming events of bAs and the preparations needed, I guess I pretty much find joy in doing them even though it's tiring. Haha, the fruit of labour is pretty much sweet so I guess all the more I should return back to what I had learnt. =D

Alright I think I better get to my slumber to further worsen my small eyes. Goodnight world!
