Woohoo!! After 2 years long of service, i've finally O-R-D at last! It was indeed a load off my shoulder or rather, a relief at that instance when i received my pink IC. Freedom! Freedom! I missed my pink IC so much! Muackz muackz! That's what every NSFs long for, since the first day of their enlistment. Haha...from tomorrow onwards, no more booking in, no more parade state and no more reporting anymore! Song~

This video was brought to my attention by Mak. I was truly AMAZED and ASTONISHED when she sang her heart and soul out loud infront of so many live audience! It is indeed a classical example of not to judge a book by its cover. We should be ashamed of ourselves if we ever hold such cynical views on others.

Goodness! Gosh! She has such a beautiful voice and it really touched my heart to hear her sing. It was a real pleasure and privilege to be able to watch such an impressive performance. Enjoy!

Suffering from gastric reflux

2009-04-11T23:02:00.005+08:00

Yes, its so unfortunate that i'm currently suffering under a gastric reflux. The pain just doesn't seem to leave me. My gullet feels so sore now, eating and drinking will only amplify the pain. So what exactly is "Gastric Reflux"?

DEFINITION

Gastric Reflux, also referred to as heartburn, is a burning sensation and pain in the stomach and/or chest, behind the breastbone. It often occurs when hydrochloric acid backs up into the oesophagus causing senstiive tissues to become irritated.

DESCRIPTION

Gastric Reflux is a back flow of acid into the oesophagus. The oesophagus is the tube which all food passes down after being swallowed. This tube connects the throat to the stomach. A valve between the stomach and oesophagus usually prevents backflow of stomach contents. In certain individuals this valve may be weak, or there may be increased pressure within the stomach forcing acid upwards.

Gastric Reflux is often associated with obesity, pregnancy, overeating, bending, lifting, lying down too soon after eating and smoking. Gastric Reflux may also be brought on by acidic food or drink (tomatoes, orange juice and cola) and by alcohol, especially fortified wines and spirits. Hiatus hernia may also cause Gastric Reflux. Gastric Reflux occurs to some degree in all people but is usually cleared by contractions of the oesophagus and neutralised by swallowed saliva.
A dull, gnawing, steady, mild to moderately severe pain is characteristic of peptic ulcers. See your Doctor if you have any of these symptoms. Other complications of chronic Gastric Reflux include inflammation of the oesophagus, an increased risk of oesophageal cancer, anaemia and ulceration of the oesophagus.

Wisdom nightmare is over!

2009-04-05T01:41:00.011+08:00

At last i took up the courage to book a dental appointment for my wisdom tooth on last wednesday! Yeah, i have been delaying this for very long since last Dec. Its not that i'm busy or plain lazy, i guess i'm just too chicken for it. The thought of the anaesthetic injection to the extraction and the pain that i've to expect throughout absolutely freaked me out to the core! Especially when i keep hearing similar painful stories from my colleagues. I seriously don't know how i even got that bravery all of a sudden. Perhaps it could be due to the cost of extraction if i do it after i ORD. However, with 11B, all expenses will be subsidised fully (^_^)V!

So everything came in a rush and swift on last Wednesday. Through the referral from the dental MO, i managed to book an appointment at Alexandra Hospital for an X-ray on my mouth on the same day! The X-ray revealed that i'm required to extract 4 impacted wisdom tooth to prevent any further problems in the future. They were located top and bottom at both left and right side! Before i could even recover in time from the shock, i was already scheduled for my first surgery on last Friday and the following Friday, which was yesterday!! O.O||| I was so stunned and i wasn't even mentally prepared to have the extraction so soon! I've never expected things could run so "efficiently" from just a pre-check up to the finalisation of an extraction in just 1 single day!

Oh well, at least i've finally completed both back to back surgery and resting at home right now. Fortunately for me, it wasn't so much of a pain that i had to endure. The hassling part is having 4 "lobangs" in my mouth, where all the food always stuck there without fail!! Machiam like a parking lot like that. I've to keep using the syringe giving to me to flush out the remaining food particles in the "lobangs" after every meal. This should last for quite a long time i guess, haiz...

'A Little Too Not Over You'

2009-03-17T11:53:00.004+08:00

It never crossed my mind at all
That's what I tell myself
What we had has come and gone
You're better off with someone else
It's for the best, I know it is
But I see you
Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside and I turn around
You're with him now
I just can't figure it out

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you
(oooooh )
Not over you (oh eh eh eh)

Memories supposed to fade
What's wrong with my heart?
Shake it off, let it go
Didn't think it be this hard
Should be strong, moving on
But I see you sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside and I turn around
You're with him now
I just can't figure it out

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Maybe I regret
Everything I said
No way to take it all back, yeah
Now I'm on my own
How I let you go
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
Yeah, oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooooooh
Oh
Ooooh, oh

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
And I really don't know what to do
I'm just a little too not over you
(oh eh eh eh)
Not over you (oh eh eh eh)

By chance in office, i happened to come across this article in The Newpaper titled "Found: Blog shop that's reliable and its run by a 12 years old girl who's taking her PSLE exams this year."

"Inspired by other blog shop owners earning money by themselves", "Joyce" started her online business as early as December 2008. I was impressed with the kind of ambition and the maturity that was displayed. How many of us, at around the age of 12, would actually thought of earning their own pocket money and truly putting in the effort to do it. Perhaps, the most typical respond from us would be "I'm too young to start my own business."

However, Joyce proved most of us wrong with the achievement she has thus far. For her age, the average amount of money that she earns every month is good enough for self-sufficient. She can use it to buy things like stationeries, books and etc. Furthermore, according to her, "she had no start-up costs" which makes it even more possible for anyone to venture into online business. Although not all ventures are guaranteed with quite a success like "Joyce"'s, it gives everyone a fair opportunity to compete for the enormous market online. She is indeed an example for us to follow, instead of just sitting and shake legs, dreaming and dreaming about becoming your own boss, we should seriously brainstorm how we can make it happen. Who knows one day, anyone of us could be the next person to appear on "The Straits Time" or "The Newpaper"!!

Valentine's Day

2009-02-14T23:24:00.008+08:00

Trip to Kovan market

Valentine's Day is finally here! It was only 8 in the morning when i went to Kovan market to look for a small and nice bouquet of flowers for Jo. I was told there is a flourist there who sells cheap cheap good good flowers. So i decided to make a trip there to recce the place. Haha...I think i seriously looked like an idiot sia. I was loitering around the McDonald nearby for half an hour!! At the same time, i was considering whether to get the flowers or not since she's still unable to confirm with me if she's can meet me or not. Furthermore, i also didn't want to waste the flowers too, just in case she couldn't make it last minute.

My jaw really dropped and my eyes popped out when the boss told me each bouquet of 6 stalks roses cost $70 and 3 stalks roses cost $45!!! Omg...I was shocked that even the markets had jacked up the price by so much! It seemed to make no difference anymore, whether i get the flowers from the market or shopping centres. Therefore, i dropped the thought of getting the flowers anymore from the market since i may not even got the chance to meet her. Argh! Goodness...made a waste trip early in the morning just like that.

Dinner at Crystal Jade

Oh yeah! At last she called me for dinner in the evening! But oh shit! I had no flowers!! Haha...really panick liao. Immediately rushed to shower and get changed for the dinner. On my way to meet her at Toa Payoh, i went round places to look for flower vendors, hopefully to get her at least a stalk of rose for Valentine's Day. Luck was indeed on my side, there was a vendor selling roses just nearby the Crystal Jade outlet at Toa Payoh! Haha...hopefully she likes it la!

Hmmm...so there we were, queuing at the Crystal Jade restaurant, took us like 20mins before we got our table. We ordered 3 side dishes, 4 "Xiao Long Bao" and 1 plate of "Yi Fu" noodles (which i call it t-shirt noodles haha). The amount of food we ordered was seriously not too much for the 2 of us at all. Ironically, she was the one who helped out to "kill" all the food. Haha...she can really eat alot man. I felt so full after the dinner la!

Then we went to our usual place, which is the supermarket. Helped her with some groceries again and looking for her breakfast (bread again) tomorrow. I bought her some nice bread from Breadtalk though. Oh well...she has been eating bread for breakfast every morning la! Goodness! No choice, she budget. She is so poor thing la, to see her eat bread everyday like that. Haiz...

I just came back from sending her home only. Quite tired now but it was all worth it la. Had a great time with her and a wonderful dinner too. Feel so happy now! =)

Cable Ski again!!

2009-01-23T23:41:00.008+08:00

It was only a week ago when i went for my first ever Cable Ski at East Coast and just this afternoon, i was there again at East Coast for the Cable Ski!! Hmmm...Seems like i'm truly into Cable Ski already wahaha! However, this time round only Conghan, Jian Ming and me were able to make it. Despite the poor response, it did not stop us from having the determination to conquer the waves! Very soon, we were all ready with our equipment to ride the waves =) Although it was already my second time playing, i continued to have abit of problem trying to keep my balance on the choppy water. Oh well...as usual i kept falling and drinking water leh until i got better and better after numerous of failed attempts! At last, i was able to ski quite a distance before i KO again! Haha that was somehow a motivation and a great sense of achievement for me though.

Personally, i had a great time cable ski-ing and i enjoyed myself very much today! However, i doubt that's the case for poor Conghan. In his first attempt for the day, his cheek was whacked very hard by the board which flipped over his head when he fell into the water! Goodness! His swollen cheek looked as if he was punched very hard by someone! At the corner of his eyes was a small cut and was bleeding. In order to prevention any infections, he was advised by the staff attending to his wound to stop playing and he was then "refunded" with a complimentary ticket. Just awhile later, he left early to see a doctor and get an X-ray done too. Haiz...he was damn suay sia, to get wounded on the face just a few days before Chinese New Year! Its so embarrassing to go house visiting with the swollen face la! Worst of all, today is his ORD day!! What a memorable ORD "gift" for him man...

Branch cohesion!

2009-01-17T00:16:00.011+08:00

Cohesion lunch at Hotpot Culture

Our cohesion lunch was held at the Hotpot Culture in Marina Square. The purpose of this meal was also to bid farewell to one of our boss who will be leaving our office for his course. So there we were, chit chatting, talking cock and "enjoying" the food there despite the poor quality food. Even the most highly anticipated chocolate fondue turned out to be a disappointment as well. Oh well, fortunately its a free meal though or else it would be a real waste of money to eat there!

Cable Ski @ East Coast!

Wooo! Straight after the awful meal, Jian Ming, Chin Tuan, Kee Siang, Conghan and me headed down to the upper East Coast for the Cable Ski!! As soon as we were done with the registration and had received the equipment, we were ready to go!! Heng ah, there weren't too many people just a few ang mohs. As such, the queue wasn't too long. We saw 1 SUPER PRO GUY performing all sorts of impressive stunts! Wat the hell man, he has so many patterns up his sleeves!! O.O||| Our eyes almost popped out and we were like "WOW!!", how did he manage to do that?!

Soon enough...Its our turn already!! It was our first time cable ski-ing except for Jian Ming though! Alright, time to "die" Muahaha! Huat ah! I feel so excited and nervous sia. Haha but as expected, all of us BANG! fell into the water soon after we were dragged out by the cable and that is only less than 5 seconds!! Haha! Trust me, it was not just once or twice that we fell into the water. We've been drinking the salty lake water for full 1 hour!!! I had quite a hard time trying to balance myself on the choppy water man. To be honest, it was really disheartening to keep falling into the water! But come to think of it, this is my first time cable ski-ing only, i shouldn't give up so soon right? =) Regardless of that, I did enjoy myself despite all that capsizing and the drinking of water though haha... I'm sure i'll do better next time round!

Serene's 21st Birthday!

2009-01-10T00:33:00.003+08:00

Ahh!! So tired now. I've not been feeling well for the past few days man, throat still pain and headache! Anyway, just came back from Serene's 21st Birthday party at her condo. We were at the bbq pit near the swimming pool. Many of her friends were there as well, some of them are her Uni friends, JC classmates, secondary school friends and of cause me and Jimmy also. We were the only ones that are from the Shooting Club la! Maybe because we are the closer few that she knows ba. Nonetheless, we did see some familiar faces from her JC classmates. Haha and Jimmy's ex girlfriend too! Haha...he was quite pai sei also sia. Hui Mun was supposed to be there but she wasn't able to make it because she had to camp infront of her desktop to bid for the modules she wanted for this coming semester. So only the 2 of us were left to entertain ourselves at 1 corner. Serene did try to stop by to talk to us for a little while, but we are ok if she didn't la. We knew she was busy too, having to go around to entertain her other invited guests as well. So both of us just entertain each other lor haha!

By the way, hope that she likes her birthday present! Specially went to walk around from places to places with Jimmy and Hui Mun to look for it man! Legs were almost broken and had a very late dinner because of it! Oh well...its all worth it anyway!

21st Birthday celebration!!

2009-01-08T23:44:00.008+08:00

Wooo...I'm officially 21 years old from today onwards! No more a teenager and no more a young adult! Goodness, i'm having mixed feelings about me turning 21. The good is that i'm now an adult and there are no more age restrictions like R21 or etc! Oh well, the bad is that i feel like i'm getting old le la, which means more responsibilities and more troubles! Haiz...i miss the good old day!! >.<"

Anyway, putting the negative feelings aside, i'm still glad and happy that Hui Mun, Serene and Jimmy were present to celebrate my 21st Birthday with me!! Omg sia, now that i mention about Serene, i've not seen her for the past 1 year la! So great to see her again on my big day. So much of catching up to do man but at least we didn't change much la, not for her height too! Oops =X

Dinner was coincidentally planned at Shokudo again! Wa...its 2 days in a row man! Kind of bored of the food there le. Had the 'Jap Omelette' and the 'Bacon Prawn' again haha...Then they tried to give me a "surprise" by hinting to one another so explicitly infront of me to get me away from the table!! A birthday cake appeared somehow with the candles lit when i returned to my seat. Plus, they pulled a "birthday boy" hat which Hui Mun had bought from Hong Kong disneyland down my head while i was blowing the candles!! So pai sei la...they even want to make me wear it till i go home!! Nonetheless, it was still very sweet of them to prepare everything for me although i had a good laugh at their "surprises"! I'm still trying to get Serene to send me those photos we had taken on that night though. Now i don't know where i can keep the "birthday boy" hat man. Haha...

Post-dinner activity was movie at Suntec City. We went there to watch 'Bedtime Stories', 2nd time for me haha. I'm fine with watching that again, even though they wanted to accomodate me by watching 'Yes Man'. However, since Serene had already watched it, i didn't want her to watch again la, no point at all. Therefore, after much struggle and threatening to re-format her laptop (Jimmy was holding on to it heehee V(^_^)V), we decided to watch 'Bedtime Stories'. Haha guess what? We saw Nat Ho with Guo Shu Xian and a few others friends at the popcorn counter!! Haha...handsome guy indeed plus a beautiful lady too!

I was so tired at the end of the day man. Haven't been feeling well for the whole day and feeling giddy. Oh well, even if i sick until i can only crawl, i still must go out man! Its a once in a lifetime 21st Birthday! I don't wish to spend it at home on the bed man. I believe nobody would. Time to rest! Another celebration to go for tomorrow!

Zakum Helm at last!!

2009-01-07T23:43:00.008+08:00

What a present to have just before my 21st Birthday!! I've got my own Zakum Helm at last ever since i started playing maple for so freaking long!! Awww...My dragon knight looks so cool now la! No more misses against the stronger enemies and plus higher damage!! I just can't stop admiring the helm man. Take a look at this!

In just less than 24 hours, my 21st birthday will be arriving soon! But right before that, i would like to thank to Guo Xin, Yu Zhu, Sandra, Vanessa, Jo and John for taking the time off from their busy schedule to have a wonderful dinner with me at Shokudo! Furthermore, thanks for the cake, the birthday song and the presents! So sweet of you guys to sing for me! Happy sia haha!! =)

Good bye 2008! Hello 2009!!

2008-12-31T23:27:00.005+08:00

Very soon in just awhile, a brand new year will be arriving!! Farewell to 2008!! Welcome 2009!! Haha...2008 has given me some indelible fond memories such as going overseas to Bangkok with my close frens, going to Taiwan for 3 long weeks(a real eye-opener for me ^_^) and getting my driving license. I would say it was a fruitful year indeed. Looking back at my resolutions that i've made earlier this year, i've already achieved some of them and at the same time failed to do so for some. However, i believe it is always good to set a new year resolution which serves as a guide to what we want to achieve in the year ahead and also a constant reminder for us to work towards our aim!

Therefore, my resolutions for 2009 would be:

1. Continue to exercise and slim down to 67kg!
2. Get into the course i want in SIM and study hard for it!
3. Able to jump higher and touch the board with half palm!
4. Make a new pair of white half frame glasses!
5. Earn some extra income from tuition!
6. Get together more often with my friends!
7. Go to Hong Kong Disneyland!
8. Live a more enriching life!
9. ORD LO!!

Hmmm...i guess this should be about all for the more important things that i'd like to achieve for this brand new year!! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

PSP broke down!!

2008-12-30T00:08:00.003+08:00

Sianz la...my PSP broke down this morning!! I was playing 'Winning Eleven' when i suddenly saw my players kept running downwards even though i was trying to make them ran upwards instead. Only then i realised the directional button had somehow sot diao!! Goodness...the 'down' button remained active by default even though i did not touch the directional button. So sad la...i just bought it like 6 months ago only and i've been taking very good care of it la! The physical condition is still DAMN GOOD!!

Haiz...had to send it down to the shop where i bought it for servicing. Goodness! The shop is at Simei la!! The staff told me that although its under warranty, i still got to pay $25 for the replacement of the directional buttons. Without warranty, it would be like $50 for the replacement. =.=" I was like what the fuck la! This the first time i heard of having to pay for servicing even when there is a warranty cover!! But then what to do? Really suck thumb lor, lan lan have to pay! That wasn't all, i was told that i'd need to wait for around 7 working days before i can collect it!! Sianz diao, so unlucky la! @#$#@%&@!!

I'm so sorry!

2008-12-26T23:35:00.002+08:00

Hey! I'm so sorry for what happened over yesterday's dinner, and for things to turn out in such an awful way. It was my fault that i spoilt your wonderful Christmas dinner last night. There were nice river view, peaceful ambience and delicious-looking food. Everything would be perfect if not for my presence. I seriously had a diffcult time trying to fit into your conversations somehow. Yes you did tried to bring me into it but to you i just seemed not interested in it. I thought i should keep quiet one corner as you were both in your 'own worlds'. I felt that i shouldn't even be staying there as i really seemed like an 'extra' and furthermore, looked so sianz. So sorry man, that i had to spoil your Christmas Day like that. =(

After the dinner, when we part our own ways, you sms-ed me to ask about what was wrong. I felt very bad to tell the truth so i just hid it from you and made up some excuses to say that i'm fine. But somehow you got pissed off because you knew something was wrong but i refused to tell the truth. I couldn't stopped myself from thinking about it as i flipped from left to right and from right back to left but still unable to fall asleep. Eventually, i gave in and told you everything.

It went on until i lost my cool all of a sudden and blasted at you. i felt so guilty and so sad when i read your reply. I know i've scared you somehow haiz...I'm so sorry!! So sorry for every stupid things i did to spoil your mood! Fortunately, we managed to get back in good terms with each other but it was already 4+am in the morning!! Even though you KO-ed at that time, i didn't go to sleep at all. Just like that, i started off a new day without any sleep! Although i felt very tired, it was nothing compared to how sorry and guilty i was to you!!

Foolish me!

2008-12-19T22:09:00.002+08:00

Haiz...goodness! I just did something foolish again this afternoon. I'm so tired from duty, thanks to the snoring =.="

Just another weekend...

2008-12-12T23:18:00.003+08:00

Yes, it has been some time since i last added any new entry to this close-to-dead blog. I can only describe the life i'm currently leading with 3 words, and they are 'boring', 'boring' and 'boring'. Most of the weekends bring me nothing but agony and vexation. Sometimes i do wonder how come i am not among those who always have commitments over the weekends!

Yeah, i believe some people will curse and swear me for "showing off" how much free time i have! However, i didn't mean to be sarcastic with what i've just written. Come to think of it, at the very least, time is not wasted on rotting at home and doing nothing constructive at all! Seriously, i do miss the days when i had driving lessons on the weekends. It was a source of motivation, something that always made me looked forward to every weekends. But now, i'm always dreading over the arrival of each weekend. I feel more like a freeloader to this home and society man! Perhaps even worse, a leech a parasite!! Damn!

Argh! Maybe i should pick up some new hobbies or learn some skills lor! Diving would be a great idea though, but then the course fees all that don't come cheap at all! I'm still trying to save up for my post-NS life!! Will be living on my savings after NS lor. Have to really pinch pennies(not penis) to get through. If not everyday can go eat grass eat air liao. Time to look into other opportunities to generate extra pocket money sia. Selling of body is out of the question!! Haha...even if i want to sell, i doubt anyone will want it.

Anyway, its another Saturday tomorrow man and i've already sensed boredom awaiting me. Hmm...i must to do something about it and not letting the precious time just slipped away like that!! Probably i can start with doing some Christmas Shopping for gifts. That should keep me busy for this week i guess(hopefully >.<") haha...

Sleepless!

2008-11-17T21:25:00.004+08:00

Coming back home from camp only at 5am early in the morning after a sleepless night, i must be bloody kidding myself if i were to say that i am not tired and sleepy at all. I wanted to really sleep, but at the same time afraid that i might overslept as i was planning to meet Jo for breakfast first thing when she wakes up. It has been ages since i've last seen her. However, it didn't take long before i gave in to exhaustion. True enough, i really overslept despite the fact that i had like 2 alarms standing by my bedside. Haiz...by the time i saw the offline message that she has dropped in msn, it was already too late. Sianz...

I was with Guo Xin the whole afternoon at the Singapore Expo for the 'Food Fest'. Honestly, from the variety to the quality, it was quite a disappoinment. The most "memorable" food would be none other than the 'Oyster Vermicili'. The taste is totally crap! I wonder if the organisers did conduct any QC on the food or not or maybe they just pass most of the applications as long as they received the payment for the booths can liao. The other food there were very ordinary. I was even surprised to see lots of frozen food being sold at the various booths. It caught me wondering which is actually the main emphasis for this 'Food Fest', the ordinary frozen food or the delicious and wide variety of local delicacies? Things like 'Fried Carrot Cake', 'Chicken Curry' and etc were nowhere to be found. Yes, maybe only those pre-made packets of curry paste and XO paste could be seen. Something is just lacking in this event.

Oh well, so dead tired now...I need my sleep.....

I've got a sis-in-law!!

2008-11-12T22:27:00.003+08:00

Woot! I'm not kidding, there is a new additional member to my family from today onwards! Yes, a sis-in-law! We were there at the ROM this afternoon to witness the marriage solemnization of both my bro and Li Hui. I was abit shocked when i saw her at the ROM. She looked slimmer and ya she's very beautiful today haha(who isn't for this big day?). Me not too bad either, looked very smart in my long sleeves and pants haha. It has been quite some time since i've worn so formally. But of cause, the most handsome one today is still my bro la~ Super smart and 'yan dao' with his restaurant manager look. Since Li Hui had mentioned, he really did look like those chinese restaurant manager wearing a white white sleeves and black coat attending to the customers to their tables. Haha...very funny.

We were there at about 1345hrs for registration before proceeding to wait for their turn to enter the registry office for the "Som Pa session" hehe. Although its my first time witnessing a solemnization, most of it is no different from what i've always seen on TV. Therefore, those "I do, you do" and "I now pronounce you man and wife" are nothing new to me. Nonetheless, it was still a touching and blissful moment for both the bride and bridegroom.

Once again, Congratulations to both the bride and bridegroom!!

We lost the match!

2008-11-10T23:02:00.003+08:00

Haiz damn it!! Lost the match against TRADOC. However, i am still glad that i managed to treat the opponent a nice "Steamboat"(盖火锅) when he was about to take a shot during his fast break. The feeling was great and i was amazed by what i did! Haha...even though i was so sure that i did not foul him during that block, the referee still awarded them 2 free throws! I was like WTF la! Haiz...what to do, he has the biggest say ma. We can only suck our own thumbs. There were also lots of other decisions and fouls which were very controversial. But aiya forget it ba, don't want to complain so much about it. The fact is that we already lost the game and there is no way we can overwrite the result. There will be another match on this Wednesday and i won't be around to play. All the best to my fellow team mates!! Hope they can win!

Hmmm...my injured finger is still swollen. The swell is so obvious lor when i compare both my last fingers together. Plus, i can't really straighten my injured finger sia. Haha...Jia lat.

......

2008-11-07T23:11:00.006+08:00

Haiz....I've not seen her for quite some time le!! Missing her so much...

Should i call her?

Don't want la.

Should i?

Maybe not.

Perhaps she's busy?

I don't know.

In the end?

Never call.

Hesitated so much! Stupid me. Haiz...

Oh well...refused to drop the idea

Finally decided to call.

But no answer.

Expected. Ha...

'Can I Have This Dance'

2008-11-05T21:18:00.003+08:00

Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.

Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next

*Chorus
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you threw it all

And you can't keep us apart (even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are

Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be

[Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens] - Can I Have This Dance

"Wisdom"

2008-10-31T22:51:00.006+08:00

For the past few days, i've been pondering over the extraction of my wisdom tooth. I feel that i should get them removed while i'm still in service mainly because the cost will be fully subsidised! Or else, the extraction will cost roughly a few hundred dollars per tooth if i do it outside. However, it is a tough decision to make after listening to Darryl's experience. I already began to withdraw the idea from the moment i heard from him that he took 3 anesthetics jabs prior to the extraction!!! I was like OMG...What am i getting myself into. =.=" Although the idea of getting a few days of MC is very tempting =) the thought of stitches, the drilling and the pain that i have to endure during the pre and post extraction freaks me out to the core!! Haiz...i am still hesitating whether to book a dental appointment for it or not. How?! >.<"

I'm back!

2008-10-27T16:36:00.002+08:00

At last i'm back in Singapore! 3 weeks have past just like that. I miss home so much and i miss everyone even more! Finally arrived in Singapore at 0800Hrs yesterday but there was no one to receive me, haiz damn sad la...Came back to unpack my kitbag and immediately went to meet Jojo and at the same time pass her stuff to her. Miss her so much la! Feel like just talking to her for the whole day man. However, i was also supposed to meet Zhu and Guo Xin for a movie at Marina Square. So i managed to accompany Jojo for only awhile before rushing down for another meeting.

We watched "High School Musical 3"!! The soundtracks are so nice! Personally, i like Gabriella's voice alot man. Among the 3 "High School Musical"s , i like the third one the most. Its so much happening than the previous 2. But i was too tired liao, almost KO-ed while watching the movie halfway. Had to try very hard to keep myself awake sia.

After the movie we were nua-ing at the Suntec Mac. Stayed there to chill and chat for a long time. Haiz...had alot to catch up with them man. So long never see Zhu also. Should catch up with them more often sia.

See you guys in 3 weeks time!!

2008-10-06T18:01:00.003+08:00

In just a couple of hours more, i'll be flying off for 3 weeks!! At last, everything has turned out for the better. No more last minute scares and etc. I am looking forward to this trip. Will be coming back on the 26 OCT 08. Hope to see you guys around in 3 weeks time! Meanwhile, don't miss me ya =p I'm going to miss everyone!! Bye!!

Back At One

2008-10-05T23:31:00.002+08:00

It’s undeniable that we should be together
It’s unbelievable, how I used to say that I’d fall never
The basis is need to know
If you just don’t know how I feel
Then let me show you that now I’m for real
If all the things in time, time will reveal
Yeah

One, you’re like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it’s plain to see
That you’re the only one for me and
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I’ll start back at one

Yeah
It’s so incredible, the way things work themselves out
And all emotional, once you know what it’s all about, hey
And undesirable, for us to be apart
I never would’ve made it very far
'Cause you know you got the keys to my heart
'Cause...

Say farewell to the dark of night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child, whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the life line
Just in the nick of time

[Brian McKnight] - Back At One

Why like that....

2008-09-24T23:04:00.004+08:00

My 3 weeks overseas trip in October was already gone case from the moment i stepped into the MO office. After assessing my medical history, he declared that i'm not fit to go for the overseas trip. Even after several attempts to psycho him to change his mind, it was futile. He refused to clear medical review unless i get my specialist's letter from SGH to prove that it is safe for me to go for the trip. Haiz...Furthermore, i'm left with such a short time to book an appointment to get myself assessed by my doctor. Although the staff told me that she'll get back to me once she had consulted the doctor, i am pessimistic about obtaining an appointment with the dotor at such a short notice.

Argh!! Damn it la stupid high blood pressure! It keeps coming back to haunt me!! I've already been exercising regularly and eating a healthier diet liao! Why still like that...=.=|| Just when i thought i could lead back a normal healthy life, i had to make myself realised that i am no longer the one i used to be! I seriously hate myself!! Come to think of it, i realised that i'm more frustrated with myself because of my sucky health rather than the MO's decision of not clearing me to go for the trip! WHY LIKE THAT?!! WHY!! WHY!! I HATE MYSELF!!!!! :(

Bored stiff....

2008-09-21T21:27:00.002+08:00

Omg...I am so BORED, basically do nothing much and rot for past few weekends! I seriously need to find something to kill time man, to spend my time in a meaningful way. But i can't think of what to do! Want to go out oso don't know go where and some more face pop out pimples!! How to go out like that..Haiz So boring la! This period going to tighten up my pocket also, cannot anyhow spend money. Need to save up some money too.

PS: 7 more months to ORD lo!

Morning Bliss =)

2008-09-14T20:47:00.011+08:00

The decision to meet Jojo for breakfast early this morning only came last minute when we both stayed up very late. She was doing the write up for her essay and at the same time chatting with me on msn. Needless to say, i didn't have enough sleep of cause. I knew i'll confirm guarantee plus chop that i'll KO dead in my sleep! Therefore, last night i already had my alarm clock ready next to me and even reminded her umpteen times to give me a morning call when she wakes up!! But still i overslept! She gave me 4 morning missed calls but i couldn't recall hearing any one of them!! Stupid me..i didn't realise that i switched my phone to the silent mode last night when i was texting with her!! Following the missed calls was a sms from her suggesting that we postpone the breakfast ba since i was so tired. Haiz...my heart sank! I felt so bad and guilty la...felt like i've put her aeroplane like that. Luckily i still managed to persuade her to meet out at Bendemeer market for breakfast eventually!

Goodness!! She really lives up to her nick name "blast furnace" sia! The word 'Full' is never in her own dictionary! All the food that entered her body to the stomach will be burnt into ashes and shit out right on the spot! She can't seem to stop eating!! After having 斋米粉, 猪肠粉, 豆花水, 油条 and 咸煎饼, she can still tell me that she felt like eating 蛋面包! I can't believe she can still eat lor! I already wave white flag and surrender liao!! Looks can be deceiving sia, don't see her small small in size, she can always empty the furnace inside her and continue to eat some more!! I really take my hat off to her!

Glad to have tide over August!

2008-08-29T20:36:00.017+08:00

I'm so glad that the month of August is finally coming to an end! It has been a hectic month with the few "major" events that took place for the past few weeks. Events like the ACS, AHM 08 and the unit's 1 year Anniversary since the inauguration. It was impossible not to get myself involved in anyone of them in one way or another.

ACS

Had to stay overnight the day before the ACS because i was part of the supporting committee as the so called "Ammo 2IC". Set off as early as 6am with SSG Lim to the range to prepare the necessary stuff. There were around 140 people who came for the shoot. Was quite busy the whole day at the range. Almost all of them passed the shoot except for 1 or 2 "Bobo" Shooters who didn't manage to pass. Not even after 7 attempts leh!!! I don't understand why is that so since there were so many who could do it. People like Max can also pass and even get marksman!! Why can't the rest??Anyway, it was a very long day for me that day man. Managed to reach home only at 9+pm after all the unloading and packing up after going back to camp. Tiring~~ =.="

AHM 08

As i mentioned before in my previous blog entry, it was a rather unpleasant day for me man. With all the rain and mud thing, didn't get to run at all for that day. A waste of time to wake up so early to go or the AHM 08. Just another event that is impossible for me to 'siam'. =.=" sianz...

Unit's 1 year Anniversary

We just had our celebration for our unit's 1 year Anniversary at St John's Island during the day!! I've been in the unit for 1 year 2 months already and had witnessed the many transformations that had taken place during my stay there. Considered as one of the 'old bird' NSF there liao. It was a very short celebration indeed, kicking off the whole celebration with an "Amazing Race" which my group got 3rd placing and then the cutting of the cake. We won ourselves 1 hamper with lots of "sinful" food stuff inside! Some of us didn't have our breakfast before we gathered at the Marina pier. Therefore, we were like hungry ghost like that, tearing the hamper open for the food as soon as we went back to our benches!! Then came the packet lunch and the 3/4 cooked bbq chicken (i don't dare to eat, too raw for me) which added on to the variety! There was so much food but we all have only 1 stomach. Wasn't able to finish everything man. From 12 to 2+pm we all OTOT on our own to enjoy ourselves liao. Nothing much to do at St John's Island though. So boring!! Luckily some clever guy brought a basketball along. At least we had some activity on hand to kill the time. Needless to say, my team, consisting of John, Nigel and Freddy was on a winning streak! Haha...We were all so wet and sweaty after the game. Oh well...fortunately i brought an extra top to change. The whole celebration just ended like that.

Freddy with his retarded pose

Anyway, come to think of it, although i do complain now and then about the people and the work in my current office, i am still very relieved to have left the HR Sect to GS Branch under Mama Cheong. Although he is very naggy and longwinded at times, he is a real nice and good boss man. Always guiding us and supporting us especially in issues that we could not resolved because of our limitations (rank wise =.="). In addition, he is also a very cockster man. A pro talk cock kia indeed. Never fail to make us laugh with his craps. I can foresee there will be more of his crap in office for next month as most of the people will not be around in office for 2 to 3 weeks!! Shiok sia...Furthermore, i am CONFIRM and WILL be going to overseas with the course for 3 weeks!! There will definitely be lots of things to be missed in Singapore man. =(

Army Half Marathon 08!!

2008-08-24T21:20:00.005+08:00

What a "great" morning for 'Army Half Marathon' =.=" The gathering point at the Padang was so FREAKING muddy! The puddles of mud were so thick that our shoes sinked with every step we took! All our shoes were really gone case, literally "kena sai" sia. Nowhere we could leave our bags there lor. Had no choice but to carry our bags with us for the 6KM run. Haiz sianz lor!! I wanted to run the 6KM de lor but was forced to run-walk throughout the journey instead just because of the bag!! Haiz...Such a waste of time man.

Hmmm...anyway, I've just bought a new SanDisk 4GB memory stick for $44 from John's dad shop at Sim Lim Square. Haiz...really couldn't find the missing memory stick anywhere at home sia. Sianz la...Had to spend such money =.=" I going to lock, Lock and lock all my things!! Grrr!!

WHERE IS MY MEMORY STICK!!!

2008-08-16T11:30:00.005+08:00

WTF Man!!! My memory stick in my PSP just vanished all of a sudden without any traces!!! I've not been touching my PSP for the past few days lor and i didn't even bring it out!! How can it be missing in my PSP!!! Fuck up la!!! Damn angry now...must be my fuck up brother who took it!!! It has to be!!! I've searched through my own stuff thoroughly and was still unable to find it! I'm not 3 years old small kid! Who will believe the memory stick has legs and runs off just like that! Still dare to come ask me can find my memory stick or not. If i ever find my memory stick at his place, i swear i will make sure he will be the next one to lose his memory stick!!!! I've had enough!!!!

Ouch!!...my foot!

2008-08-06T21:58:00.003+08:00

I didn't know the pain in my foot could drag on for so long. Initially, i thought it was just a minor pain and would fade away after some time. Amazingly, I don't even know how i hurt my foot la!! The pain just happened to surface on 1 fine day.

Anyway, the pain seems quite bad after yesterday's basketball. Was unable to run much and had to limp everywhere i go. Fortunately, the pain was alleviated after rubbing my foot with the medical oil. In spite of this, i've yet to stop playing basketball at all. I don't think i can ever rest for a period of time from basketball man. Even just now in the evening, i still continued to play basketball downstairs. I'll just continue to play till my leg really cui-ed some day la!! Nonetheless, i still hope that the pain will go away soon!!

F*** to him

2008-08-02T20:34:00.004+08:00

What a fuck up brother i have!!! My mobile phone line was just extended by 2 FREAKING years with Singtel without my knowledge!! What the fuck man. So what if the mobile line is under my mum's name?! Does that mean he could go down to Singtel shop with my mum to extend the contract for a new phone and furthermore without seeking my consent?? Am i still a small kid who has no say in matters like this? Some people simply don't know what is call RESPECT even though he has been living for 29 fucking years. I am so damn frustrated, not because he used the line to buy another phone for my mum but because he did it without my consent!!!! Is it so difficult to just ask me "Hey, can i extend your mobile to buy another new phone for mum?"? Is it so hard?!! Am i so scary?! Whats the need to hide anything? I would definitely say yes if he asked me. However, that doesn't mean he can assume everything!! Assuming that the Microsoft XP belongs to him and lended it to his girlfriend (lend liao never bothered to take back), assuming that he's paying for the home internet service (using it happily without forking out a single cents) and assuming that i would say yes to extend my mobile line. Fuck up!

This is NOT the first time that he did things without the consent of others!! So what if hes the eldest brother? That doesn't excuse him from showing us some basic respect!! i swear i will throw a party, eat good food and open champagne as soon as i know when he will move out!! I hate staying with him and his loads of garbage in his damn room...

C++ review

2008-07-26T22:19:00.003+08:00

It has been like 2 years since i've last had any contact with C++ or programming. The last time was the JC2 coursework on object oriented programming which was our last coursework for the syllabus. Since then, I have absolutely lost touch with C++ liao. All my computing notes are currently with Xiao Ling. I'm left with only the very fundamental notes with me in the hard disk. John was asking me to help him get started with the basics of C++. So i was at his place for the whole afternoon teaching him the syntax, structure and so on for the programming language. At the same time, i also took the opportunity to do some recollection of it as i go through the notes. If not for John, i wouldn't have realised that i'm already rusty liao. For instance, methods on declaring customised functions all that have been returned to my JC tutor. Couldn't remember how to do the declaration. Haiz i really got to do some review on all the computing stuff liao if i am determined to take obtain a degree on computing. I don't wish to screw up everything again.

*Yawn*...i feel so damn tired and sleepy now. Had a 2 hours long intensive basketball game just now with the foreigners. Felt so good to perspire like mad sia. Can burn calories! Haha...I want to jump higher!!! Think i should start doing frog jumps everyday! Hopefully i don't give up so easily man. Theres so much that i want to train! Haiz...I don't seem to have enough determination to go on. Perhaps some motivation will be helpful, but then i have no idea where to find the motivation. Shall see how ba...

Enough!

2008-07-23T21:40:00.009+08:00

"Tuck Min! Tuck Min!", i am getting so sick and tired of hearing it in the office. This "Tuck Min", that also "Tuck Min", why must it always be me?! Is it because i am too helpful or what?! Even when i'm already occupied with loads of work while others were idling around, reading newspaper and dozing off, they keep coming to me and not others! Why must it always be me?! Why can't they just leave me alone?! I've tried pushing it away, but the moment the arrow was diverted to whoever, he can just happily report sick and get MC the next day just to avoid the job. Eventually, the arrow came back to me!! What the hell!! Besides my own work, i still have loads of ad hoc things to do plus doing what they were told to do! They just happily wash their hands off and expect others to clean the shit off their ass. I've had enough of these selfish acts!! So so tired le....

Sometimes, i just feel that i'm taken for granted for being nice. Superiors like that and sometimes friends also like that which is really sad case. I am not the type that will turn away from people when they need my help. I will feel bad when i reject someone's request for help. So most of the time i'll try to help as much as i can. As a result, i often ended up "taking up" alot of things or in another words "sai gang". Maybe that's one of the reasons why things are turning out this way. But that doesn't mean i can be exploited or what lor! Its not that i don't wish to help.But based on past experiences, there will always be a second, third and fourth subsequently whenever there is a first time. Sooner or later, it becomes an obligation naturally. Yes i can swear and guarantee 100% plus chop that this will happen most of the time!!!

Now, even blogger is playing tricks on me for not saving my draft! I am actually re-writing this entry! I don't feel good at all about the things that are going on right now. =.="

Weekend at last!

2008-07-18T22:39:00.003+08:00

I am soooo glad and thankful that its Friday at last!! It has been a rather busy week with all the work that i was assigned to do. Work never failed to stop haunting me and its always "Tuck Min!" and "Tuck Min!" as if i'm the only person who is at their disposal. Or is it because my name is always the first to go to their mind whenever they need assistance. Duh! I'm not the only one around there to render any assistance!

Besides, my throat still isn't getting any much better. I've always wanted to see a doc since last week when i was banged hard on the throat just right below the Adam's apple. However, where can i find the time? There's always task given on the day itself and to be completed on the next day. I'm just like the cantonese saying "得闲死唔得闲病", direct translation would be "free to die, not free to fall sick".

At least Jun Ming and Mun came up to clementi in the evening with me for dinner at Botak Jones la~~Something that i was quite looking forward to. While waiting for Mun to reach, Jun Ming bought a scratch card to try his luck. We were already so excited la when we won only $8! Lolx...

We didn't have anything in mind of what to do after the dinner though. Initially, we wanted to have some deserts for supper but ended up doing some window shopping in Bugis junction and browsing through some books in Kinokuniya. I came across a book that teaches some basic Japanese for beginners! Haha...for example things like "Namae Nante Iu-Ro" (What is your name?) and "Nansai" (How old?). Kind of interesting though, was fooling around with it and laughing like mad with Jun Ming. Haha...yeah we also created a new hand sign - "Shallow" for our "Fu Qian" san, Hui Mun. Shallow~~ Haha...had a really great time, just in need of company to cheer me up for the hectic week. So happy that its Sat tomorrow! Going to have Dim Sum for breakfast! Oh well...I want to watch "The Dark Knight" and "Red Cliff" :(

Farewell Candy!! >.<

2008-07-12T01:38:00.003+08:00

Candy should have already left Singapore on the plane to Australia by now. She'll be there to pursue her studies at the 'University of Queensland'. It should last for around 2 years i guess. She will only be back in Singapore for holiday after 1 year later!! Awww man...I am already missing her so much! Couldn't bear to part with her lor, felt so uneasy and sad when she was entering the departure point. I've never thought of how much i'd have missed her presence. Not used to not having her around man. I believe Jo and others are feeling the same as well. Although 1 year is 'long not long, short not short', it would be 365 days before her return!! Hopefully everything goes on smooth and well for her over there. Luckily, there are means like msn and email to communicate, at least we can know what is happening to her over there.

So tired!! Just managed to reach home from airport at this time because we couldn't catch the last train back home. Had to take the train back to Tanah Merah station and took a bus home there. Unfortunate events really come after one another! Turned out that the last bus 31 was gone as well! Haiz...Can only take bus 12 to Kallang MRT and then slowly walked home with John from there. Had quite a nice and long chat with him during the walk. In fact, it has been quite some time since i last had such a nice 1 on 1 conversation with my kakis.

GS Cohesion

2008-07-10T22:50:00.004+08:00

I Just had my very first cohesion with all the staff of GS Branch at Marina Square in the afternoon. There were 8 private cars available in my office to bring everyone down to the venue for lunch. Kuma and I were supposed to hitch a ride from my boss along with Molly. However, we found out last minute that the 'Lucifer' will be tagging along as well. It would be a real nightmare man! Can't imagine being in same car and having to listen to her voice and her "Why ah? Why ah?" throughout the journey from Boon Lay to Marina Square. I would rather jump off the car than tolerating. Luckily there was LTA Thai Jun to save us from the agony! Quickly siam to his car to seek refuge liao!! Haha..

We headed to 'Yuki Yaki' for lunch buffet. Sat on the same table with Kuma, Molly and Encik Segaran. Kuma was simply crazy over the prawns there while me with the sambal fish. We kept chionging them till we were so bloated. We also had a chance to try out the our own self-made ice cream available there. All we did was just pouring in the flavoured liquid onto the frozen pan and wait for it to freeze. Then we can scrap it up to the plate and eat liao. Conghan and LTA Thai Jun were happily playing with it and mixing the flavours together. The taste is kind of ermm...weird though haha..

Time for some exercises after eating so much man! We went for bowling at the alley beside the Golden Village. Grouped into groups of 5, we commenced the mini competition without further ado! I've always been quite a poor bowler and it was once again proven when i finished game 1 with a total score of 89 i think. Moreover, I had a couple of 'drainball' as well, which is so embarrassing la!!! It was only slightly better when i finished game 2 with about 106 points. FINE! I admit i really suck at bowling! Haha...My boss was the "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" one lor! He claimed that he is not very good at bowling but then he ended up being the top bowler in my group!! Game 1 was 138 and game 2 was 116. There were a couple of strikes for him as well. I started to question myself who's actually the noob one man =.="

Nonetheless, I believe everyone of us did have a great time at the cohesion even though it was just a rather small scale one. It's ok!! Hopefully we can have a really large scale one at the Sentosa next time!! Haha...

Peaceful and dry

2008-07-03T21:11:00.003+08:00

I've been feeling so lethargic ever since i woke up this morning! I slept at 11pm last night le lor, but still so exhausted. Stood through the journey to Boon Lay on the MRT and KO-ed totally on the camp bus. If not for Kuma, i believe i wouldn't be able to wake up as we arrived at our camp.

My boss is still on overseas leave, quite a peaceful day indeed. No fire, no ad hoc stuff and no sai kang. Spent most of the time slacking around and playing the 3X3Rubik's cube. Fell asleep gradually in my own cubicle but not for long. So damn sleepy and tired, don't know why. Furthermore, the time seemed to be passing so slowly today. Plus, there is an annoying person who never fails to piss me off. Keep coming to my place and say stupid things when i'm already in such a bad mood. Have been trying to ignore him the whole day. I was so relieved when the clock striked 1730. Time to knock off at last!!

Anyway, my feet still hurts when i walk but i don't really feel anything when i run or play basketball! Weird man...But at least my ulcers ok liao. Phew!!...

Congrats to JoJooo!!

2008-06-28T23:13:00.002+08:00

Woohooo!! Congrats to Joooo for being the next zai one to clear TP at 1st attempt after Zhu, me and John!! Hahaha...Furthermore, she scored the highest among us all with just 10 demerit points!!!!!!! The only mistake she made was striking the kerb during parallel parking. That alone caused her 10 points liao! Pro la pro! Happy for her lor. Lucky never waste my effort for waking so damn early in the morning at 5+am to accompany her to Ubi CDC for her warm up at 7am. Waited there alone with my PSP as the only form of entertainment for about 3+ hours before she finished with everything.

Straight after that, we went to meet Candy and John for some Bak Kut Teh opposite of the Clarke Quay MRT. I think its just normal lor and the soup itself tasted quite bland. Probably they did not add enough pepper and the herbs ba or is it myself? It was good for John though haha, helped to clear his blocked nose because of flu. Each of us paid like $9+ for this meal.

Next we travelled down to Marina Square to watch 'Don't mess with Zohan'. A great movie catering for all. It was hilarious with its lame and sexual humours. Definitely worth the $8 (SAFRA card) in my opinion.

Dinner was at Cafe Cartel since we could not think of what else to eat. Ha...we were even saying that we order only 1 plate of pasta or whatsoever and chiong for their free flow of bread haha! Cheapskate la but budget lor! LOlx...anyway we didn't do that eventually la, so embarrassing!!! Don't want to throw face sia. We just ordered some good food to enjoy. Anyway, its to reward Jojo for her hard work in obtaining her class 3 driving license! Hahaha...cheers!

Good luck to Jo..

2008-06-27T22:59:00.003+08:00

At last!! The very very important moment has arrived! Jo's TP is just approximately 9hours away! I believe she must be feeling very anxious and excited now leh. Hard to get into sleep ba i guess. I can relate very closely to how she feels now because I was feeling exactly the same just around 1 month ago. I am sure she can pass her TP tomorrow just like how me and zhu did. Hope that she too can leeched our fortune and good luck as well. Wish her all the best for tomorrow!!! All the bad times are already over!!! Good times has arrived!! HUAT AH!!!

My ulcers are still present!!!! Goodness...so frustrating! Trying not to let it affect my mood. Haiz...

Ulcer outbreak =.="

2008-06-23T22:09:00.006+08:00

Argh!!! 4 relatively huge ulcers broke out in my mouth just a few days ago, sianz diao lor. 2 at the bottom lip, 1 at a bottom corner and another 1 at the top lip. Haiz...now my lips look like its swelling, and i've been having trouble talking and laughing man ever since the outbreak. Although i keep going to wet my lips with water, it always dries up very quickly. It hurts if i were to use my tongue to wet my lips instead. Its so painful!!!!!!!!!!! Frustrating la!! Hate it man!!!

眼泪笑了

2008-06-21T16:41:00.006+08:00

To: Jojo

With each sunrise, we start anew. If you're reading this entry, please don't brood over the matter le. This song is for you. Cheer up man!! =)

Finally arrived!

2008-06-13T23:07:00.003+08:00

At last! My long awaited class 3 photocard driving license has arrived at my doorstep this afternoon! It was delivered personally via the postman to my mum. I was still stucked in camp though. Has been expecting it to come since i received Zhu's sms informing me of her card's arrival. We both made our cards on the same day. Haha...rushed back home to open the letter immediately. Haiz...the photo on the license abit cui-ed, it was taken on that very day itself at cdc after i passed my TP. The tester asked me faster go take then i also bo bian, suck thumb. Had pimples that day also!! ARgh...that is the only sianz part...Anyway, i am still glad that it is finally here! That marks the end of another chapter of my life. ^_^

What a long day!

2008-06-11T22:18:00.002+08:00

Phew...It was indeed a long day outside with Mun and Jun Ming. Took a day leave today to go out with them to celebrate Mun's 20th birthday! We met at 11+am for some finger food before heading for 'Escape Theme Park'. We tried out all sorts of rides there, especially the Pirate Ship, Cadbury Inverter, Daytona Go Kart and etc. Personally, i prefer Daytona Go Kart the most! Haha...its fun la! But a pity the track is pretty short, would be better if the track's larger and more variations in the design. However, my throat was abit sore though, due to the intentional screamings and yellings after some time. We stayed there throughout the afternoon before leaving for our early dinner at E-Hub.

We went Nihon Mura for our early dinner as Jun Ming was psychoing us to go for Japan food. I ordered quite a few side dishes, thinking that they might want to try them. Only then i realised that Jun Ming is allergic to seafood and Mun doesn't really take all kinds of seafood. Awww...Had to finish them all by myself!! Fortunately i did not order any main course, still not that bad. Jun Ming ordered a beef ramen which i don't think is nice though. The ramen tasted like just normal instant noodles and the beef is salty and all fats. There were hardly any meat to chew on. On the other hand, Mun heeded my advice and ordered a rock pot rice, which i think is much better than the ramen la!

Anyway, we didn't really go back home immediately after the dinner though. Instead, we travelled ALL the way down to Paradiz Center and played some pool. Me kept losing to Jun Ming because of the black ball!! Haiz...damn suay, luckily i tagged with Mun, at least won back a few rounds haha.

Haiz...i am so tired now...want to just KO on the bed at this moment!! Back to camp tomorrow. SIANZZ....

Stupid me..

2008-06-07T13:02:00.003+08:00

I couldn't believe that i just did such a foolish thing. Furthermore, to realise that i left my keys at home when i was rushing out of the house in the morning. Came back home from the heavy downpour to find myself being locked outside the house. There was no one at home. Stupid me, why should i even have left home with the umbrella in the first place. What a dumb thing to do...

爱来过

Hebe soloing 'Ai Lai Guo' in 'Dou Niu Yao Bu Yao'. Enjoy!

TP cleared!!!

2008-05-25T07:48:00.013+08:00

Yay!! I've finally got the time to blog about this great news that came yesterday! My wish has came true at last, being able to 1st-time-pass my class 3 driving license haha! I started my Basic Theory Test in November 07, driving lessons in January 08, passed my Final Theory in Feb 08 and TP in May 08. It was all cleared on the 1st attempt! Total amount spent was about $1950, which is equivalent to my 5 months of NSF pay from January to May! T_T sobx..Oh well, at least it was worth it.

Come to think of it, this license didn't come easy. During the course of training, i've came across lots of problems, came out with lots of stunts and met good/bad instructors. Especially even on the actual TP day itself, it was not easy at all.

In the circuit, i would say i did much better than expected. The tester is truly a huge fan of Christopher Ho man, me really kena the 'Christopher Ho' style. Everything was going fine despite the fact that i got 4 demerit points for nothing. The tester claimed that i did not look behind the rear screen as i was doing the parallel parking. Oh well, so be it. I managed to deprive the tester a chance to test me on E brake! There was supposed to be a straight road leading to the zebra crossing outside the admin building. That was the only last chance that he could have given me the E brake before we go out to the public road. However, as i formed up at the lane, i noticed there was a car behind me. Therefore, i purposely slowed down the car abit and let the car catch up right behind me as it was travelling at a relatively fast pace. Eventually, the car was so near to mine that the tester couldn't give me the E brake at all due to safety reasons. Haha...cheers!

However, the test route 8 that i got, was like a minefield yesterday. It was really full of shit when rare events started to appear yesterday. First there was a stupid cushion lying in the middle of the junction. @#$%#& cost me 4 demerit points for not checking my blindspot while i was avoiding it!! Then there was this fucking bastard lorry driver who horned me at the "turn left on red" sign. It was red light, so i stopped first, check out for any pedestrians crossing before i started to inch forward to check the main road for any cars coming. My view was already blocked initially, how did i know if there was any car coming if i didn't inch out first to check? I'm not the lorry driver with some extra height that blessed him with a better view!! That bastard kept horning at me for being slow in turning out. Hello?? I was not a qualified driver like him, i was just a testee at that point in time. Does he have to be so mean to new drivers like me? Come on la, give people a chance to learn lor. I was so damn pissed back then as it cost me another few more demerit points.

By the time i drove back to CDC, i was already so depressed lor...thinking that i most probably would have broken it. Then the tester went on and on to talk about my mistakes in the briefing room. Hmm...Only half of it entered my brain, i was more eager to know about my results than paying attention to him (i believe it applies to all testees). So as i set my eyes on the assessment booklet, i began counting the number of demerit points i had as he flipped page by page to check back my mistakes. Omg!! I was surprised! I couldn't believe i passed my TP, i was overjoyed!

For now, while my photocard license is being processed (2 to 3 weeks), i can drive with the temporary license issued to me. Haha...my class 3 license allows me to drive both manual and auto car. Looking forward to the day i can drive out my bro's car for dinner/supper with my kakis. Wahahaha supper time!! =)

Make it or break it

2008-05-23T22:05:00.003+08:00

Gosh!! The thought of having my TP tomorrow is making me so anxious and excited!! Its either i make it or i screw up everything tomorrow. I want to clear it once and for all but i am losing confidence in my circuit! Today's final revision lesson was average. The instructor had even introduced me to the 'Christopher Ho' style of testing. I've to admit that this style is enough to screw me absolutely upside down. It makes people do turning to another destination suddenly at the last moment. It is named after a notorious tester by the name of Christopher. He never fails to use this method to screw the testee. Psychotic bastard =.=||...I am praying very hard that i get a very nice tester tomorrow. Argh!! I have been having a premonition for the whole day, a bad feeling that i might break the TP. Haiz...Like what i always say, "eat rice or eat air" depends on tomorrow liao.

Congrats to Yu Zhu!!~

2008-05-22T21:15:00.003+08:00

Yay!! Congrats to Yu Zhu for getting her driving license!! Glad to have received such a great news from her. Feel so happy for her. Her intensive hard work and practise for the past couple of days have paid off well. Luck was indeed on the side of the birthday girl-to-be. Blessed with quite a nice tester so that she wouldn't have to drive under extra stress. Hmmm...should be one of the best present she has ever received!

Now that she has gotten her driving license, next would be my turn man. My test is this coming Sat, 24 May 08. Tomorrow would be my final revision prior to TP. Hopefully, i can leeched some of her luck and pass my driving test as well. Argh! I want my license badly...

Happy 20th birthday John!

2008-05-19T23:13:00.003+08:00

Argh...I'm so tired now, and i still have duty tomorrow sianz...Anyway, want to wish John a Happy 20th birthday!! Have a great and fruitful year ahead! Haha...Generally spent the whole day out with him, Yuen Shein, Guo Xin, Candy, Jo and Jasmine for Hi-Tea buffet at the Zhou's Kitchen. Each of us paid like $21 per person. The place was almost full house when we arrived there. Fortunately, we made a reservation beforehand, at least theres already a table secured for us. As for the quality of the food, i wouldn't want to comment much. Can say is not bad ba. After the meal, we took some photos together and left the place liao.

We went for a movie at Plaza Singapura later on in the evening. Watched "Made of Honour", which is approximately 100 mins long. It was already 8+ pm by the time we finished watching the movie. Poor John, still got to book in at 11pm.

Oh ya, Jojo commented that I slimmed again liao is it. It was only 1 week that we didn't meet each other and i look abit different. Haha...i guess so? The last whole week i've been working out everyday!! Sat and Sun also went to play basketball becaused i am so damn bored at home. How to not slim down like that??!! =.=||

Si Chuan Earthquake

2008-05-17T23:10:00.008+08:00

"亲爱的宝贝，如果你还活着，一定要记得，我爱你." (dear baby, if you managed to survived, do remember that i will always love you). These were the last words that was found on a mobile phone at the epicenter of the merciless 7.8 magnitude earthquake that shook Si Chuan. Next to the mobile phone laid a baby nestled safely under the arms of the mother. Unlike the baby, the mother wasn't so lucky to survive the tragedy. She sacrificed herself by using herself as a shield in order to protect her loved one from harm. With her last breath, she expressed her love for her child by keying in the last words into her mobile phone. At the same time, the innocent baby was still sleeping comfortably in her arms, oblivious of the situation.

The body of a child is carried home after being pulled from a collapsed school in Wanhang, Sichuan province.

A victim buried under the pile of rubbles.

Children reuniting with their parents...

1 more week to TP!!

2008-05-16T22:57:00.003+08:00

Oh My Goodness!! My driving test is just 1 week away!! So nervous and excited!!! Yu Zhu's TP is just less than a week away! Haha...Hopefully we both can pass together! Some more her birthday is just round the corner, perhaps can get some birthday luck from the birthday girl hehe..This license expensive lo, so far i've already spent $1900+ on driving liao. Argh!! I want to pass my TP badly. Having revision lesson on tomorrow and sunday. Have to take them seriously and correct my mistakes man! Pass! Pass! Pass! =)

Ahhh!! My Neck!

2008-05-08T21:06:00.005+08:00

ARghh!! I've been having sort of a stiff neck for the last 2 days. Initially, the pain on my neck was bearable and i could still turn my head around, up down left right no problem at all. Until today, while i was on my way back to camp, the condition on my neck became worst. The pain is unbearable, even the slightest movement around my neck area is able to trigger the pain. I could hardly turn my head around, all that i could was to look straight ahead. On top of that, there was also an occasional headache whenever i accidentally turned my head.

Haiz...whole day kena disturbed by John they all, especially that Khor. Keep teasing me and talking cock to me. Made me laughed non-stop and at the same time, pain non-stop. They had to be in my front sight in order for me to talk to them lor. I couldn't really turned to my 'blind spot' and see. Each time when i need to look elsewhere i had to turn my whole body around, which looks very dumb la! Sadded...

Lucky my TP is not this week. If not i can prepare to fail liao. All the demerit points will definitely come from the offences related to 'blind spots'. Never check 'blind spot', change lane abruptly, fail to do safety check and etc. Good enough to let me accumulate 20 demerit points to fail liao. Haiz...think i going to see the doctor liao if my neck still cannot make it..

Belated resolution for 2008!

2008-05-05T21:52:00.004+08:00

Hmmm...I realised that i haven't really got my new year resolutions nicely listed out for 2008. Even though it is already May now, i hope its not too late to fulfill them. The resolutions listed are in random order:

1. To obtain my class 3 driving license.
2. To exercise hard and slim down till i reach 70kg AT LEAST.
3. To be able to touch the basketball board with half of my palm.
4. To complete 2.4km within 10mins.
5. To read as many books as possible.
6. To save at least $200 per month.
7. To build up some muscles out of my flabby arms.
8. To dote and treat that Mojo Jojo better because she keeps complaining that i'm ill-treating and bullying her.

These are the things i have in mind so far. Don't think they are too much to ask for. Work! Work! Work towards my targets!!

"Hard Candy" @ Zouk!

2008-04-29T22:52:00.006+08:00

There was a party held at Zouk to celebrate the launch of Madonna's new album "Hard Candy". Personally I've never been to Zouk before, neither did Jo. Since Candy had received an invitation to the party, we thought of going there to see see look look. The place was crowded with many people, leaving us without ample space to navigate our way through the crowd. One of the main highlights of the party includes a muay thai "demostration" fight. Candy was supposed to be in the demo, but was taken out last minute due to some budget constraints. Nonetheless, we still have some other power girls that we can cheer for!

Their version of "demostration" is so different from what i know sia. There was this girl called Jacqueline, a ngee ann poly student, she's damn fierce!! Her opponent kena whacked until nose bleed, leg "swollen" and gong diao! Eventually, the winner of the demo match will be determined by the volume of the applause from the audience. Surely, such a fierce boxer like Jacqueline won the hearts of many supporters. As such, She was also given a free mp3 player.

We didn't stay there till very late as we still have to work tomorrow. Hmmm...quite an eye-opener for me i guess. Haha..

1 year soldier!!

2008-04-26T23:43:00.002+08:00

Hehe! A significant date to note for today! Officially 1 year soldier liao! Definitely worth celebrating. Went out with Vinnie, Shiu Hei and Darrell for a mini gathering. Met out for lunch/dinner at Nihon Mura(日本村) in Cathay. We ordered too much food liao, we had Tako Yaki, Sushis, Yaki Tori, Chawanmushi, the Dons, Soft Shell Crab, Chicken Cutlet, Dumplings and some Udons. Filled our stomach to the MAX! Then we played pool nearby to kill some time before we started taking 857 to Shiu Hei's house to watch soccer.

Chelsea vs Man U!! The final score was 2-1. Drogba, Ballack and Rooney were on the score sheet. Vinnie and Darrell (the Man U fans) were damn sianz diao because Ballack's winning goal was a penalty due to a handball by Carrick! Throughout the match Shiu Hei(the Liverpool fan) was cursing the Chelsea's player to break their legs or get injured. Cheering every tackles made against the Chelsea players and hoping for an injury to occur. But none happened, so disappointing!! Muahaha!

On my way home at Toa Payoh interchange, there was a girl standing opposite of me at the 26 bus stand. A guy approached her right in front of the other commuters with his mobile phone.

Guy: "Excuse me, you're from the same church as me right? I've seen you there. Can we exchange numbers?!" (Like that also can?!! Now i know why some people always look forward to attend service).

Girl(stunned): "Huh, ya, but what for? You don't know how to go to our church?"
(How can it be possible? He already how old liao...3 years old?)

Guy: "I mean exchange our numbers, to make friends."
(Zai! Straight forward and clear cut! Salute thee! But is it that simple?)

Girl: "Oh...(keying her number into his mobile phone) What is your name?"
(Omg! She really gave him her number!)

Guy: "Wei Ke. W-e-i K-e! Ok! i'll give you a miss call. Talk to you again. Bye bye!"

Hmmm...not bad sia, like that ask for number. So next time on the street, i won't be surprised to see more and more guys going for church. Or rather church hopping?? 1 day see this girl, can say he from this church. Another day see another girl, can say he from that church. Hmmm...probably a part-time "matchmaking center". Sounds good!

Halfway through!

2008-04-23T22:09:00.003+08:00

3 more days and i'm officially a 1 year soldier!! Haha, meaning that i am already halfway through my service term and only 1 more year to ORD lo!! Hmm...time passes quite fast leh, last year still at Tekong "yes sergeant! No sergeant!", "yes sir! No sir" but now, what is sergeant?? Lolx...standby bed no more, standby area no more, marching no more, clean rifle no more and water parade no more!!! Hahaha, everyday can just ba long long own time own target do my work.

However, what i miss dearly would be the times i had with my platoon and bunk mates. Despite the different backgrounds that we come from, the days in Tekong gave us the opportunity to know and learn from each other. So glad to have met people like Vinnie, Shiu Hei, Sua Ning, Mak, Darrell, Joel (we call him the 'Sex Machine'), Yong Yuan (we call him 'PCC') and so on. Always gathered at the meeting table in my bunk to talk cock every night during our free time and listening to each other's stories, especially Joel's juicy stories lolx...

I can still remember vividly there was once when we wanted to make a birthday card for one of our sergeants in the platoon. We did not have the necessary resources we need to make him a very nice card. We made do with just some coloured pens, hightlighter and a piece of foolscap paper for the card. We drew and wrote him something on the card before folding it into a paper plane as we knew that his ambition is to become an air steward. But then...something terrible happened.

Lights off timing was supposed to be 2230hrs, but we were still rushing to complete the card. The sergeant were already shouting up to us to switch off our lights but apparently we did not. He was SOOO frustrated that he screamed us down to fall in and started to f*** and punished us. We all felt terrible, we knew we were wrong not to obey the lights off timing but we also explained to him our intention. He went silent for awhile, feeling very guilty and touched, he changed his tone and told us to go back.

The following day, we gave him the card early in the morning. He apologised and thanked us for the 'special' gift. First time kena F*** so badly just to make something special for someone. Hmmm...Indelible memories, will never forget man. Eager to ORD as soon as possible man lolx....

Toni and Guy Academy

2008-04-20T22:28:00.010+08:00

Toni and Guy Academy just had their graduation hair show at The Arts House. We were invited by Jojo and Zhu to attend the event as they were one of the models for this show. They were approached by one of their student for it. The student had Zhu's hair dyed blonde and permed, which made her look very much like a barbie doll. Haha looks so sweet and beautiful!~~

As for Jojo, her "virgin hair" (she insisted of not dying her hair) had a white leaf-like design sprayed on. Simple yet delicate and creative. However, i have problems with her makeup. Her eyeshadows were so dark and thick, looks very much like Ju'on in the dark sia!!

Hmm...the whole show was quite a short one. It started at 2030 and ended at around 2100. There were 5 students, each had to come out with 1 batch of different hair design. Some designs were really Bizzare!! Among the students, there is one who is only 15 years old! Very young indeed and ya, impressive!! ^_^

Lolx...anyway, 2 more "major" activities coming up! Outing with my platoon mates to celebrate our 1 year soldier and Candy's Muay Thai demo fight at Zouk!! Haha...Looking forward to it!!

斗牛。要不要

2008-04-06T00:06:00.006+08:00

I've just managed to finish chionging through the 17 episodes long "斗牛。要不要". Have been "working" so hard for the past few nights, staying up till 1+ every night just to watch it. Just can't resist the temptation to continue watching it la! I was so restless and lethargic in the office, hiding behind the monitor in my small cubicle and close my eyes. So lucky that i didn't get caught by anyone lolx...

Hebe looks so cute with her short hair in the show lo haha. See the photo attached to the post. Who disagrees with me? Ought to be shot!! Keke..

Aiyo, now that i've finished the whole series, feel so sianz...sort of an empty feeling. Argh! i miss "斗牛。要不要"! Miss the basketball scenes!! Damn cool la their skills. Suddenly, it reminded me of the group of people who played dirty basketball yesterday. Damn pissed with them, action kids =.=||| Hmm...time to sleep anyway, going to meet Guo Xin for basketball in the morning.

Games Day

2008-03-27T21:50:00.004+08:00

Along with the CIS basketball players, we represented our unit to play in the basketball game for the Games Day. There were Alvinder, Max, Kevin, Jun Xiang, Nigel, Eric, Stanley, Chua and Elvin in the team. We didn't start off well probably because its the first match and we couldn't get our momentum yet. The second match was better, managed to get our momentum liao, managed to thrash them 18 to 7. However, my shooting was totally off today. The ball was always bouncing away from the ring. Yet, they kept encouraging me to carry on to take more shots and had no intention to drop me out. Not even for the semi-finals. There were many supporters from my unit watching the semi-finals. The score remained at 0-0 for quite some time before i broke the egg for my team by driving into the bottom of the ring and doing a reverse. Everyone applauded and cheered DAMN loudly for that shot. The feeling was great!! So shiok man! Just when i thought my form is back, my legs were weird. My thighs were on the verge of having cramps. Tried to do some stretching now and then to prevent it from getting worse. Managed to last till full time, but we ended with a draw. No choice, i had to be substituted out liao. The long hours of playing were wearing me out. Eventually, we ended up losing by 1 ball. Haiz...feel so sad. We could have gotten into the finals. Everyone of us fought hard for it, but maybe not hard enough? I don't know. Just so sad, sad, sad =(

Back from Bangkok!

2008-03-18T22:06:00.027+08:00

Sawadeecarp!! I'm back from Bangkok! Just arrived in Singapore at 1210hrs. Starting to miss everything we did back in Bangkok. Really shop and eat till we dropped. It was indeed a fruitful trip, especially for the girls.

Irresistible food in Bangkok!
Over there we tried a wide variety of their local food. We had Tom Yum Gung, Shark fin, Oyster Omelette, Pad Thai, Mango Tango, Mango Glutinous Rice and Seafood!! The best thing is that all these delicious cuisines don't really come with an expensive price. They are all at an affordable and a reasonable price. Eating at a street stall (just like our 煮炒 in Singapore) costs as low as $500 Baht for about 6-8 dishes!! Doing the conversion, it costs only about $22.50 for a considerable sumptuous meal for 4 people. But have to be wary of scammers over there. Seriously regretted on 1 occasion to have accepted the offer from the Tuk Tuk driver to show us where one of the famous Thai Seafood restaurant is. Never did we thought he brought us to be "chopped" by the restaurant! We splashed quite a huge sum of $6500 Baht on this meal!!! There were Crabs, enormous Tiger Prawn, Oyster-concentrated Omelette, Pineapple Rice and Steam Fish. Really is kena con like mad! Lucky i hadn't spent much then, had enough to pay for the meal first. Argh!!

Shopping Spree!!
There were a couple of places which were part of our "targeted" shopping spots. As our hotel is just around 15-20mins walk from their "Orchard Road", it is very convenient for us to do our shopping. There were MBK, Siam Plaza, Platinum Plaza, and Paragon. MBK is bigger than our Vivo City lor. They have electronic products, local products, clothings, dresses, ornaments, cinema, shades and so on. Its a shopping paradise lor! We went all out to shop, brought back 2 huge bags of stuff back to hotel. Got fake Havainas slippers also! $199 Baht only!! Me bought 2 pairs, black and white lolx...I simply love their printed T-shirts!! Especially 1 with some words written in a blurry font. Anyone who see them may misunderstood it to be some problems with their eyes, "how come so blur one?!" Lolx. There is also another one, with a finger pointing to the side and says: "I think he's GAY!" hahaha...power man this design. Almost wanted to buy! But come to think of it, I prefer to live longer haha. Then we had the night markets and Chatuchak. The layout of Chatuchak is similar to our Bugis village but is don't know how many times larger than our Bugis village. It is divided in different sections, such as souvenir, sports wear and etc. It is where we can't control the girls at all! Keep looking non-stop on the way. Took us like 40mins to try the "Ice Kachang" there, which is only like a few mins walk away!. One of the places where they shopped like mad as well. Next there was the Suan Nam market. We actually wanted to go to Lumpini Boxing Stadium(LBS) nearby with King Yi(Candy) for her Muay Thai gears because the wholesaler is over there. Unfortunately, i supposed it only opens on the days when there are Muay Thai matches held in LBS. We went Suan Nam Market instead to look for her gears. However, those items in the night market is so much expensive!!! I went with King Yi from shops to shops, helping her ask for directions from 1 after another but yet we couldn't find a shop selling real cheap Muay Thai gears. Furthermore, it wasn't easy to communicate with them also la. Just like a chicken and a duck talking. In addition, Both of us even walked quite a distance to the nearest Muay Thai gym to try our luck but to no avail. She was very disappointed...aww. Moreover, she wasn't feeling well on that day as well. I felt sorry for her. Heng heng she managed to find another wholesaler shop near the "National Stadium" train station on the next day. She splashed $5700 Baht on her Muay Thai gears!!!! At last, she smiled and laughed again. Phew...

The photos have finally been uploaded. Thanks to Jo! ^_^

Heehee, 1 more day to Bangkok trip!! So excited over it! Thai girl show, muay thai, food!! YUM~~ tom yam!! Hahaha gonna shop till we drop as well. I would say i'm very impressed with the girls. Their luggage is super light and empty! They are using the SAF daffle bag some more. =.=||| They are not going to be satisfied until they managed to stuffed the bag fully to the MAX! Their insatiable shopping hunger!

Anyway, I have not even packed my luggage yet! Hehe, lazy da...don't think i want to bring alot of things also. Learn from them, bring only 1 or 2 sets of clothings to change. Then i can stuffed my bag fully like them!! I want to buy shirts, pants and shoes!! Ohh...can buy some nice snacks back as well. 1 more day!! 1 more day!!! WAhaha...i am so HIGH now. Tomorrow can ba long long in office and wait for knock off again. Haha...

Results

2008-03-07T23:51:00.004+08:00

I am too lazy to sms my reply to everyone who messaged me for my results. No big deal at all. Just another failed attempt, nothing great. So hope they can forgive my "daoness". As for the exact grades, can just forget it. It makes no difference at all to the outcome. All i can say is hopeless. Hmmm...Should be registering for SIM i guess. Don't think i have a choice, do I? But it seems like it doesn't offer the courses I wanted. I.e. Computer Science and Computer Engineering. An alternative would be Information and Communications Technology. Have some interest in it la but still, need to recce some more about the courses. Haiz...feeling abit lost.

Anyway, congrats to Guo Xin for doing quite well for the exams. A C D O, soso ba. Should be able to get into local U. Happy for him also. Envy~~ T_T Sadded...

'A' level release

2008-03-05T19:11:00.002+08:00

2 days more would be the release of the 'A' level result. Having exactly the same feeling I had last year, awaiting the arrival of the moment of truth. Did very badly for the 'A' level, just hoping and praying for the better this time round. Argh! worrying man, even though I keep telling myself not to. Oh well...

Anyway, Bangkok trip is just exactly 1 week later! Lolx...looking forward to the trip because this is the first time i am going overseas with a few of my kakis (Jo, Candy and Karl!). I definitely wouldn't want to bring a sadded heart to Bangkok and play. Oh shit, I haven't got the chance to tell LTA John about it man although I have already applied overseas leave liao. Wish me good luck! Lolx..

What is wrong with me?!

2008-02-23T21:44:00.002+08:00

Haiz...the past few driving lessons have been quite a nightmare for me. Committing serious mistakes one after another. Initially, it was the red light incident, almost dashed across it. Then it was the 'obstruction' in a junction, and today was the U turn incident. Was told to turn right but i U turn instead. Worse still, it was done without "U turn" sign! Thats totally crap man!! Something is totally wrong with me. Seemed so distracted and just blank out suddenly. Argh!!! Felt so bad after the lesson and worried that the series of bad incident will continue to haunt me. Haiz...sadded.

Driving lesson: Day 8

2008-02-17T00:44:00.002+08:00

Nothing much in particular for this lesson. More on improving on the weak areas such as turning in a junction and the forming up and positioning while turning. Hmm...checking of blindspots for changing of lanes and overtaking has gradually became a habit for me now. Still trying very hard to be vigilant to the situation on the road man. I am like a 'gangster' lor, heck traffic rules one, always drive and turn with no regard to the other vehicles on the road. Haiz...had to keep reminding myself to be alert and to take the necessary actions as early as possible.

Driving lesson: Day 7

2008-02-10T21:44:00.000+08:00

Woohoo! Smooth and steady today! Learnt from my mistakes yesterday, drove much better le. The instructor also damn relax, sit back, chill and on his mp3 from his handphone. Haha. Coincidentally, he was the same instructor whom i had my first driving lesson with. It was all about stopping at the kerb side and the checking blind spot whenever i turn left/right, change lane and overtaking. Nothing much today though. Spent most of the time driving around the road and brushing up on some of the techniques. Haha...Think i need about 3 to 4 more lessons to wrap up module 2. Spent about $1k so far in driving le. Getting poorer man haiz...Even after i get promoted, the pay increment is very minute only.

Driving lesson: Day 6

2008-02-09T23:40:00.000+08:00

Its the start of module 2 and this time round is all about maintaining a good lane discipline i.e keeping to the left lane and also keep a safe following and stopping distance away from the vehicle infront. Was quite stressed up today sia, wasn't the usual me at all. Always forget to keep to the left lane right after a turn, slow in changing up and down. At moment i totally blanked out! Almost dashed through a red light!! Omg...think the instructor really wanted to kill me sia! Didn't notice a traffic light at all! Haiz...poor performance today. Feel so bad...awww.

Dead =.=||

2008-02-04T11:27:00.001+08:00

Passed my Final Theory Test this morning but simultaneously I am also in deep shit. Very very dead..ARgh...going to kena screw liao.

Driving lesson: Day 5

2008-02-03T07:52:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, A pre-road assessment was carried out to assess what i've learned so far and what are the areas to improve on. Coincidentally, the instructor for the day was the same as my previous lesson! Good! Good! So i had my warm up for awhile around the circuit before heading on to the road. It was my very first time driving on the road. Very excited and eager to start. Previously, didn't get to do it because i had not applied for my PDL, therefore i did not get to try driving at gear 3 and 4. More gear-shifting to handle on the road, had to keep changing up and down the gear to suit the traffic condition. Got to "speed" at 50km/h, haha so much better than going at 20km/h in the circuit! As i was getting more stable in the "quiet" road, the instructor led me to drive out to a busy road! Had to be more careful but i wasn't nervous or panic. Did quite alot of turning in a junction as well as in a traffic light.

The last part of the lesson was on the introduction of the components in bonnet. Was told which one is the engine, brake fluid, battery, coolant as well as the water for the windscreen wiper. With that, my module 1 ended liao!! Yeah!! Next would be on module 2, more road driving for me! FTT on monday!! ^_^

Chilling at Candy's house

2008-01-27T23:02:00.000+08:00

Yepz, as the title suggests, i was chilling at Candy's house after my morning driving lesson. Brought breakfast over to her house as requested! Fresh soon kuay from Kallang Bahru market for her. Had to go back to my place first to buy them as i left home as early as 0730 in the morning. So i don't think the shop starts selling the soon kuay so early in the morning.

Guided her as well, the last step to solve the corner pieces for the 3X3 Rubik's Cube. Very fast she was able to re-do and solve the cube liao. Not bad haha...Besides the 3X3, there is also a 5X5 one. Don't think i want to start introducing to her though. Even i do the 5X5 one till i gone crazy! Totally madness for 5X5. =.=|| Think she might end up worse than that haha..

Oh well...Didn't know she is sick as well besides Jojo. Argh..due to bad weather i guess. Must really take care of body especially when Chinese New Year is coming!! Fall sick how to enjoy the 'Bak Gua', pineapple tarts and the egg rolls!!! Just slightly more than 1 week more to CNY! Hope they can recover soon!

Driving lesson: Day 4

2008-01-27T22:34:00.000+08:00

Lesson is on turning in a junction, into a minor road and into a main road. So most of the time i'm busy getting used to on the signal lights and changing gears. Turning of bends has to slow down to a comfortable speed before proceeding on the turn. Signal early as well! Always forgot to signal! Haha...Can be better! Yeah...Next lesson shall start to wrap up module 1 le Lolx...2 more modules to go then can start to go for the driving test liao. Yes la! Looking forward for that day to come. I want my driving license!!

Anyway, Final Theory is just 1 week away! Lolx...Hoping to clear it once and for all! Then i can start to book my practical test date le. Haha! Then can start to chiong ALL the lessons by the test date! Good good!!

Driving lesson: Day 3

2008-01-20T20:42:00.000+08:00

It's all about gear shifting and mastering the technique of braking to a stop as well as braking to a slow for today's lesson. As i have not applied my PDL, the instructor couldn't bring me out to the road for practise the changing from gear 1 to 4 and from gear 4 back to 1. I am still stuck in the circuit and switching in between the pathetic gear 1 and 2. This time round i wasn't so nervous and stressed out though. lolx...getting the hang of it, damn fun! Managed to clear 2 chaps for today. Module 1 is coming to an end in just 2 more lessons i guess. Then more exciting and challenging stuff will start to come in liao. Next Sunday going to have another practical lesson. Should be going out to the road and hands on the higher gears liao lolx...Hope i don't panic and do something foolish though haha...

Driving lesson: Day 2

2008-01-19T22:11:00.001+08:00

Woot! Had my second practical driving lesson early in the morning! Attended full 2 hours of e-trial before going to the waiting area for the instructor. Was looking forward to it initially but it turned out a stressful 100mins of nightmare for me. =.=|| Most of the time i couldn't hear what was he mumbling about! Then most of the time giving last minute instructions only. About to approach a junction liao then suddenly asked me to signal+turn left. Idiot...Spent the whole session turning around the circuit from gradual bends to sharp bends. Only cleared 1 chap today!! Haiz...tomorrow will be having another lesson at the same time. Hope i am assigned a really good instructor! Going to wotk on gear shifting tomorrow. Hope can clear at least 2 chaps haha...Oh ya, haven't applied my PDL also. Argh!!

Driving lesson: Day 1

2008-01-13T23:36:00.001+08:00

It's my first ever driving lesson today. Was feeling very anxious and excited since this morning. My instructor started off the lesson by explaining the safety procedures and the different parts and functions in the car. Then he demostrated the correct way to start off the car and the changing of gears all that. After which we switched over. Haha, was damn eager to try on at that moment. Start engine, step on clutch, gear 1, release handbrake, release the clutch to half-clutch and step on the accelerator simultaneously. Find the biting point in order for the car to start moving forward. Then step on accelerator further and slowly release the clutch. Once steady, Step on the clutch and change gear. Lolx...sounds easy eh?! But its not easy for first timer like me. Didn't know the accelerator is so freaking sensitive. Stepped abit more and the engine goes VVRRRRROOOOOMMMM!! Damn POWER!! Felt like initial D WAHAHAH =.=||| Just that i'm travelling at 20km/h >.<" Oh well~ at least i got to drive around the circuit and did some turning of bends. Had a feeling of turning the steering wheel haha...FUN!! SHIOK SIA! Can't wait for next week's lesson. Managed to clear 4 chapters today. Hahaha...

Serene Ho Ho Ho Old liao...

2008-01-13T21:11:00.000+08:00

Wahaha happy 20TH birthday to Serene! Woke up yesterday in the morning to bake her favourite oreo cheesecake specially for her. I've never baked before though, screwd up abit here and there haha! Beating the mixture without melting the butter, almost mistaken salt for sugar if not for Jun Ming (he went to taste the salt =.=")and forgetting to add the egg into the mixture Haha...and Jun Ming, trying to be funny, lick the mixture off the knife to taste the mixture and almost ended up tongueless. Oh well~ Fortunately the cake turned out fine even if its nt delicious lolx... Consider not bad liao wor, didn't even messed up Candy's kitchen.

Last minute almost screwd up the cake. The cake broke into half while i was trying to get the cake out of the moulder. Panic sia, quickly cupped the broken half back to the moulder and "cement" the crack hahaha..

Went to meet the birthday girl in the evening at Marina Square. We watched the new Korean movie 'Le Grand Chef'. After that we held back Serene, forced her to go Esplanade there with us. Just nice she needed to go to the washroom when we were there. We immediately rushed to find a good spot to setup the cake and candles. Then i went back to fetch her while JM hid in a good spot. So haha expected la...surprised her with JM's present and my oreo cheesecake. Hope she really likes it. Oh ya, need to thank her for the tm's foodbowl and the cute soft toy. Thanks for the "Dear sucks guy, happy birthday!" =.=|||

The birthday girl! Old Woman

Oreo cheesecake and our presents

20th Birthday

2008-01-08T21:55:00.000+08:00

Officially a teen no more liao! Sadded sia, with the '2' infront now. Getting old!! T_T Had a rather "peaceful" birthday this year. Nobody dated me sianz...Jo they all busy with their final year exam preparation. The rest aiya never plan anything also. Ended up taking the birthday off from work and went to gym ALONE. Heard "Tear drops on my guitar" over the radio in gym. Up up song, nice~~! Simply addicted to this song LOlx...

Lihui has given me a pair of Teva slippers as present. Mine is already worn out haha...just nice! =) Argh! This special day is just going to end like that sadz..This post is short! Haiz...what to do, sad day...=.=|||

Tear drops on my guitar

2008-01-05T23:35:00.000+08:00

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

//Chorus
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

Happy New Year!

2008-01-01T13:00:00.000+08:00

First day of new year is totally havoc!! Went all over the place with Sam and Jun Ming. We wanted to go Esplanade to countdown and also to see some nice firework but there were too many people, kena stopped by the Cisco police at the exit way to the Esplanade. We had no choice but to camp at the park nearby but also alot of people. The firework lasted roughly around 8mins.

(Taken by Serene)

Supper was at Geylang after the countdown. Walked alot, and wasted time waiting for a bus that was no longer operating at that time liao..ended up taking the MRT to Kallang and walk to Lorong 9 for the MAX Beef Hor Fun. Not bad eh, we had good food and we had free show to watch. First we saw a drunkard, hes so freaking drunk man, drink till very jia lat. He dropped dead on the ground sleeping on the street. He was in a total mess man, and i think he smell like shit also. I don't even dare to go near him. Lolx...The second show was the "gangster fight". A group of people were chasing after 1 poor guy. Some more got sneak attacck also! THROW CHAIR from behind sia!! Dangerous =.=|||

Unfortunately, we couldn't manage to find a Pan Pacific uncle for Sam la...She even wanted Fullerton though but too bad nobody wants. So, we had to bring along her to East Coast with us. By then already no more bus or MRT liao. Took a cab down to East Coast to see Sunrise? Waited from 3 onwards. We sat at the rock there and chillax. Crapping, joking, laming and emo-ing? Cos the Sam played all the "emo" songs on her phone. What song she also say is "emo". We lasted like that till dawn, but we couldn't see any sun rising!! The sky was too cloudy to see any sunrise. Quite expected la, the sky was quite red before dawn.

Eventually, all 3 of us cui liao. But the 2 of them cui even more, their eyes damn shag, can see them hardly open Lolx...Jun Ming's eyes were closing and Sam was rubbing her eyes le. Haha...after breakfast we all just went home straight and KO liao ZzzZz. What a havoc and exhausting start for 2008. ^_^

Busy week

2007-12-20T10:58:00.000+08:00

It has been quite a busy week so far. Being the photgrapher for the Indonesians visit to the unit. Have to follow them wherever they go, take photos here and there. After working hours, when the local officers bring them for dinner, i also have to follow them. Only finished "work" at 9+pm on Monday. Sianz...

On the second day, have to meet them at the hotel by 6.45am =.=" totally shag la that day. After which, they went for their golf game. Took a few shots of them starting off the the game and then my turn to go back to the cafe and slack. Haha...later on when they finished the game, its time to pang kang lo!! At last can go home and sleep lioa!!

Baking day!!

2007-12-02T21:13:00.000+08:00

Gave the whole of today to baking over at Candy's house. Me, Jojo and Candy were there. We made oreo cheesecake, cream pufff, cookies and so on. We also took many pictures of the baking process!! Some of them are in Jojo's camera while some are with me.

Oreo Cheesecake! Looks like a smiley face =)

Preparing the cookies!

Ok liao..

The long awaited moment. Straight to the oven

大功告成!!!

I am so greedy!! Haha ^_^

Cooling down...Chill~~

TM's cookie. See the difference in size? Lolx...

Black VS White (Chao Ta VS Just Nice!)

Spreading the dough for cream puff.

Sending to the beater!!

Chocolate chip cookie

Freedom! YES!

2007-11-24T01:29:00.001+08:00

At last!! A'level is over!!!! Ended nicely with a relatively easier Computing paper 2. A freeman indeed, no need to get stressed over such major exams anymore. More time for myself! Sounds good, yeah. Going to fully utilise my free time for the next 1year++. BTT coming soon on the 15th Dec, better start preparing now. Its abit kiasu la to start so early, but then i just want to clear it once and for all and faster chiong for the license! Besides working hard for a class 3 license, have to find some ways to generate extra income also. Currently giving tuition to Apple, which contributed an extra $120 per month to my pathetic $400 allowance. However, still trying to source out for more lobangs to earn more $$. Perhaps, might be looking into doing some online business like selling items all that, or doing some odd jobs lolx...Whichever that can earn me the $$, i don't mind doing it. Of cos, if sell backside got people, i don't mind selling also WAHAHA!! Although i am not in desperate need for money, it wouldn't harm to earn more. Who the hell will complain for having too much money, ought to be shot lor.

Oh ya, and maple also. 4th job just came out, time to chiong some 4th job Wahaha! 17 more levels to go! Slowly play and level, so scare of chionging 24hours 2x exp. Best record, 4 days in a row chiong 2x exp till i sleep an average of 1-3 hours a day only. Worst experience ever!! Kind of felt like shit on the last day, but was well paid off because i managed to reach 3rd job in 4 days from level 48.

Quite insane though, kind of missed that kind of "freedom" available. Oh well...time to face the reality, nothing stays forever. Move on move on move on! That's what we are always told to do. How many of us can really do it without getting held back by the past? Not like a computer, press delete everything gone. We don't use RAM we don't use what cache memory in our brain. But 1 thing is for sure, i need to sleep now ZzZZz.

Cohesion

2007-11-17T11:59:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was my unit's cohesion day. No work no sai kang, Woohoo! Song bo! All the people in the HQ branches, including me, were at the bowling alley in Cidance. Everyone was seperated into groups and had a mini bowling competition. Mr Gopi, Mdm Tan Mee Mee and the Lucifer were in my group. Quite cui la my group. Mr Gopi is the only one in the group who can play relatively better. Me is cui kia la lolx..for the first game, most of the time the ball will either go into the drain or roll to the right. Mdm Tan Mee Mee played halfway then don't want to play liao, asked me to take over her lane also. Damn busy, had to jaga 2 person's turns. Eventually, both the scores were about the same, 70+ like that. Luckily, Mr Gopi corrected my "technique", then my ball started to go straight and even get a couple of strikes as well as spare. Then Lucifer play halfway also 出 stunt, don't want to play also. So i was like bowling for 3 persons! My arm was so tiring sia after the bowling. Anyway, thanks to Mr Gopi la, the second game i got a total of 125 points for my own game! The highest score in my group! Hahaha, higher than Mr Gopi's score.

Most suay is Japheth la, kind of him to help me take over for 1 person, but kena suaned instead. The first ball his stance and postition very zai u know, but after released the ball went into the drain. Lolx...but never mind still for second chance. He did the same pattern again and the ball kena the "long gao" again HAHA! Still never mind! Try again. When comes to his turn, for the 3rd time the ball tio "long gao" again! HAHA...Laugh till i pengz! LTC Francis and Mr Gopi was there laughing. People 3 strikes in a row get "Turkey", he 3 drains in a row get "Roti". Went back to sit only tio suan by Mr Gopi liao, "The way u bowl really can get 114 points ah?!" Poor Japheth HAHA...

I think everyone had quite alot of fun for the cohesion yesteday. But ahhh...will be back to work again liao, don't know when will be the next cohesion day. Haha..

2007-11-08T23:03:00.000+08:00

Yepz, i'm back in action once again. Decided to blog a fast one before i go to sleep early, since i have life run in the morning. Gonna reach the camp by 0720, get changed and report for the stupid attendence taking.

Alright, time to get back to business. Nowadays i have been quite busy preparing for A'levels. Up till now, i finished most of the papers only. Left with just physics paper 1 and 2, and computing paper 2. So far so good la, still have some confidence in the papers i have completed so far. Especially the maths paper 2 statistics. Did alot of preparation prior to the paper. Did loads and loads of questions on statistics such as hypothesis testing, estimation and normal distribution. Hope this time round i can do much better than last year.

Ooh, actually i am eager to look forward to after exams. I've enrolled into Ubi Comfort Driving Center haha! Finally can learn driving and get license liao!! This could have been achieved last year if i wasn't slacking around and being so lazy!! But i don't know how long it'll have to take leh, hope can chiong finish everything in 4-5months. Tired! Tired! Go sleep le Zzzz

Falling sick

2007-10-23T00:55:00.000+08:00

Hehe! I realised that there are more and more people falling sick during this period of time wor. So far the ones i know, Jo, Sam and me all buay kan liao. Maybe it is because of the weather or perhaps, due to our own busy schedules. Either busy with homework and projects or busy with preparing for exams. Jo has also been telling how busy she is over this period. She seems to have tons and tons of work keep going to her, her projects are like never ending!! After 1 completed liao, then come another few more. Haiz...pity her, some more still have to handle the project with people who always fail to co-operate with her group. People like NAZIRA and Serene!! Anyway, just hope that everyone take care of themselves la hor, especially Jo and Sam ah. Both have been falling sick recently. Jo is no need say one la, all along sick de, sickly woman, poor thing~~ Sam is hmmm...maybe becoming 1 also. Last week or so just fell sick only, today flu and fever liao. Haiz...but still, they couldn't afford to take the time to have ample rest. Have to continue on with their stuff. Busy busy busy!! Who shall be the next one to fall sick?!

<<细味心事>> I got it!!

2007-10-15T22:31:00.000+08:00

Haha! At last, after several failed attempts to look for the latest biography of Niki Chow at several major bookstores like Kinokuniya, Popular, Times and MPH, i finally got the book by "import". All the credit goes to Candy!! Thank you so much Candy!! Just came to know one day that she was back in Hong Kong over her school holiday, so just nice can help me look for the book in Hong Kong. Really appreciates the trouble and effort she took on to look for this book for me. Just got it fresh and hot yesterday from Candy. Don't really know how to show my appreciation besides saying THANKS A MILLION!

I've just started reading the book this morning. The usage of words are appropriate, and the language is simple and easy to understand. This is good, because i think there is no point in writing a book if the reader can't even understand what are the points that the author is trying to convey in their book. I think thats how biography should be. Once people understand your thoughts, then they get to know you better. She might not be a full time author or some big name writer, but can see the hard work and effort that was put into writing the book. Anyway, i think i am reading too fast liao, hahah...no choice, i read chinese book faster than i read english book LOL...I don't eat potato, i eat rice ^_^

Still so fat!

2007-10-12T21:56:00.000+08:00

Haiz...despite exercising intensively and so hard for the past erm...2-3 months?? Lost about 10kg like that so far liao, but..I am still fat!! At the very least, its very obvious that i look slimmer now as compared to the time when i was still with in a relationship. I regretted so much to be eating so much sia...eat eat eat, everyday eat, one day don't eat don't feel shiok! Especially the tidbits and snacks which were the main culprit. Hmm...now i just want to faster slim down fast fast and become very very slim and lean!! Hahaha...and also fit as well. However, it won't be easy leh, because i like to eat!! Food is my love!! Have been trying very hard to control what and how much i eat also. Of cause, there are also times which i really lost control la...but at the same time i do make sure that i indulge myself in the food only once in awhile. If not for that, i think i would have lost an extra few more kgs liao. Maybe 12kg? or 13kg? Anyway, i still have 15 more kg to go before i reach my target. Perhaps, my target can only be achieved by next year June? Haha...Hope to really achieve my goal by then.

Dinner with Wei Yi and Leonard

Have been too tired to come in and blog for quite a few days already. Had dinner yesterday with Wei Yi and Leonard at somewhere near Maxwell. However, the portion was abit cannot make it leh. It couldn't even fill my stomach, Wei Yi and Leonard sure not full. Eventually, I managed to psycho them to Maxwell to try out some MAX food over there.

We tried almond bean curd, 3 in 1 tang yuan and 2 plates of oyster egg. Haha..not because it is delicious, but it was because the first plate of oyster egg we ordered was buang one. That is why Leonard was so tempted to try from another store. But still, quite suck eh the food we had, didn't really feel shiok at all. Then we 3 romantic sia, strolled from Maxwell to Singapore river to see Merlion and the sea view haha. Half way through that full of shit Leonard wanted to do "big business". Even though it was urgent, but he die die must use the toilet at the Fullerton hotel! I was wearing no. 4 into the hotel lor! Damn embarrassing, wth sia Lolx...when we walked out of the hotel, the tourists were like staring at us, giving that "wtf are these 3 strange dudes doing here?" Then we faster siam out of the hotel.

There were quite alot of people at the Merlion side, most of them were tourists. It was supposed to be a quiet and breezy place to talk cock one la, but the people were so noisy haha. Then that Leonard, guai lan sia, went to light up a cigarette and began smoking. Luckily he managed to chase some of the people away successfully ah. At last we could have some peaceful time to enjoy the scenic view as well as the sea breeze. Very cooling~ Felt so relax sia haha...next time should go there again.

Haha anyway, weekend is here again! So happy! I love Sat and Sun! Haha...Sun going to swim with Jo again. Can tan liao ^_^

Intensive exercise and tanning!

Woke up early in the morning at 8+am to go for a run before meeting Jocelyn for a morning swim cum sun tanning. I could hardly catch my breath sia, had to bear very hard with it. Surely not easy to run in sleep mode haiz...

By the time i finished the run, i had to rush back home to pack my stuff for the swim. It was a blazing, scorching and hot sunny day!! Jocelyn should be very glad about it. Last week she was so disappointed of not able to go tanning due to the heavy downpour. we started to tan from like 10+ till 1 like that. Super shiong sia the sun, we lied there for awhile only and we were already turning dark liao. She is truly hardcore man, she went down water only twice and the rest of the time her butt was glued to the chair. She even fell asleep while tanning. She must be damn tired man from school and work man, poor Jocelyn. We tanned so long, but she never kena burnt, only i tio burnt! so unfair!! Anyway, i am happy with my skin tone now though haha. She 'jioed' me next week to swim together again.

Initially, i was thinking of not going for run in the evening. But then, the "urge" to run came all of a sudden. This time round, i ran more than what i ran in the morning. After that, i also did quite a few sets of crunches, push ups and leg raise. LOLx..very tiring sia...but all i wanted is to slim down faster leh, to be slim AND lean...haiz...

Old school days...

I have totally forgotten that it is lantern festival today. Only realised it when i saw so many people downstairs with their lanterns. The running was at the same time, packed with the children and adults. There was hardly much space for me to run through the small crowd though. So i decided to take a stroll by the path i always take to go to school during my primary and secondary school days.

As i looked and followed along the perimeter of my secondary school, different corners of the school reminded me of the old school days. The open space outside the toilet was where we always sneak out in between lessons and during recess to play soccer. It is also where me and Karl threw the bomb bag outside during physics lesson and stunned some people LOLX. The study corner where we always gathered there to talk cock during recess. The science lab block where i had my favourite physic lessons, titration ^_^ and bio lab. The band store room where i always carry the Tuba in and out (up and down quite often also). The basketball court where we "fought" hard during inter-house to emerge as the winner. Haiz...in general, lots and lots of fond memories that i missed dearly. The 4 years were definitely the best times of my life. Hope to meet up with my classmates and school mates soon.

Tomorrow i'm going to be away for duty spec, haiz...sianz...won't be able to go home.

Lessons to learn

I am still having some "hangovers" from the sleepless night on Sat. Early in the morning still have headache, so i went to see doctor and then resting at home throughout the day and watched "天涯侠医". Alot of take-backs while i was watching this 30 episodes long series. Life is short, cherish everyone around you. Do not live with regrets, do what you want and what you think is right. I know all these are quite common sense and easily understood. However, many of us have obviously forgotten to practice them. What we have now must not be taken for granted, it is a privilege and NOT an entitlement. There are many people in the 3rd world countries living in poverty and suffering from the fatal virues and diseases. Somehow, the resources and aids that are available are very very limited. People are dying from diseases which can be cured if there were good and ample resources. After seeing how much effort and sacrifices the volunteers have put into taking care of these locals, maybe i should also start doing something for the community?

Anyway, in life it is hard not to have any regrets though. 16 days more would be father's 3rd death anniversary. 3 years ago at this period, you were admitted into the hospital and never returned. Since then, I have not heard your rough and deep voice ever again. 3 years, long not long, short not short. Till now i still look back into the past, the days when you were still there for me. What you left behind, were the numerous indelible fond memories that you have given me for the 16+ years with me.

I love weekends!
