A little prayer.

A little prayer to the tsunami victims.....may they find peace. Sent out an appeal to all the NUS Rotaract members for donation of any clothing, food, medicine or any neccessities. Will be collecting them and sending them to the red cross. Hope that it will be a little contribution to the global effort to help the victims.

Life is jus so unpredictable. Who knows that a relaxing holiday by the beach could turn out to be such a disaster??? I realised that the older u get, the more u will learn to appreciate life. How fragile life is.... how one moment u can be there breathing and laughing, having so many things to look forward to... How much of life lives ahead, then suddenly u can be in the face of death, with the rest of yur life robbed out of u just like that. No chance to experience what it is like to have a family, to tell stories to yur grandchildren. Everything is gone before u knew it. I must constantly remind myself to treasure my time and my love ones. Not to be troubled by petty disputes and minor troubles. I'm glad i realised this early in life at 22.

A wonderful Christmas....

This is what i got for christmas!!!!! ai xin cookies!!!!

I luv cookies.... esp homemade ones. And it taste GREAT!!! hahah and i like that cookie jar so much. It has my name one it. haha. Thanks so much sormui!!!

Watched meet the fockers on christmas eve. I think Meet the Parents is a better movie. It was more funny and its humour do not tend so much to the crude side. Later went to esplanade. Took a couple of photos there. Initially wanted to go the the merlion area but after eating some candy floss, we got into some sticky situation and had to find a toilet. Chose to go to the toilets at One Fullerton coz they have got the best toilets. Haha..... Then ended up taking photos at One Fullerton.

On christmas day, we went to Snow City. Actually its our 2nd trip there as we did not go on the first attempt due to overcrowding...hahaha. The place is not bad. But the jackets that they provided us STINK!!!! It smelled of sweat!!! ewww.... yucks!

The snow looked artificial somehow. Its too hard. Its like ice! But maybe its too cold in there too. The temperature is minus 6 degrees. After sometime, your ears and hands get numb. LOL. But its fun to slide down the slope. The ice on the ground just keeps flying to your face as u race down the slope in that rubber thing. In the end everyone just landed in a heap at the bottom. Its quite funny now to think of it. Sormui was complaining that she is feeling very cold. After a while she cannot feel her fingers. Aiyo.... but then she got low tolerance for the cold. Anyway, my fingers also felt numb esp after i took out my gloves to take photos. Ouch, talk about frostbite in sunny singapore!

Went to Orchard and i managed to really see the christmas decorations for the first time on foot !!!!!!!! Suar koo right??? Hmmm this year was alot better than the previous years. Er... not that i really remembered how it was like last year, of if i had evened looked at it at all. Maybe this yea r is the best cause i finally did walked down orchard road and admire the decorations on christmas night!! Whatever it is, this year is the best coz its the only one year that i noticed the deco....hahahahah.... lame..............

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! ( merriest one so far )


us eating candy floss and mi looking silly.....


The nice deco of One Fullerton... cannot show u the toilets without being arrested.


nice big tree in Taka... abit pointless to post this photo coz u can just see the same tress next year.


Snow city!!! notice that the snow man is missing one eye??? Maybe it was winking....


nice cute little bears bears......

A Special Christmas

Just had a christmas celebration at Cheshire home, also marking the final event to my comserv project for this year :) what a relief!!! Finally can take a short break.

It is really a special christmas this yr for me :P First was having shared the christmas joys with the residents of the home. Something meaningful to the spirit of caring and sharing during christmas. And also, this yr will be spending christmas with someone special as well :) So its like double happiness for me this season.

Today was rather enjoyable. Both residents and volunteers have enjoyed themselves. Hmmm, we started with the warming up game of passing the parcel. Some of the residents are really enthusiastic, having alot of fun in the process and laughing alot. They are visibly excited with the games, and are very enthusiastic about doing the forfiets as well. WOW!!! they are really sporting! very wonderfully surprising. Seeing their happy faces made me feel so warm and happy inside. Its the level of satisfaction and meaningful fullfillment that i had not felt for quite sometime. Despite their disabilities, these people are so satisfied with what they have, and are so happy and cheerful. Some of their laughter exhibits the innocent joy, only found in a child. Sometimes, they made be feel so shameful, of how sometimes i can be taking things for granted, how sometimes i can be so selfish and materialistic. They have taught me how to share, how to laugh, how to experience joy. There are many non-tangible things to enjoy around the world. Maybe sometimes, we are often so busy that we have lost touch with the more humane side of us.

Well...... just some thoughts. I must tell myself to embrace the world and not be so sceptical in future, questioning every though, action and motive.

Hmmm..... this yr will be spending christmas with sormui. Well, last yr also spent christmas with her, but we were not together yet then. Still remembered it as if it was only yesterday. Went to watch a movie.... the scary movie 3 ( waah... a funny but boliao show ) hahah kinda regreted watching it coz it was quite crude. Then later, in the evening we went to sentosa to watch the musical fountains. It was the first time i ever watched the musical fountains. LOL.... suar koo lah.... Then remembered i gave her this christmas gift which we called the year end bonus. Heh .... it is a box with windows to put the photos at each surface. Basically i jus use photoshop to obtain her personal potraits from all the group photos that was taken ah ....haha ... pro man... :P
Then in the box put a bear, with lotsa chocolates. Behind each photo i hid little notes and messages.... haha. I like to customise my gifts, more personal, unique and it wun be the same if u buy it !!!! Muahahahaha!!!!! I was thinking to myself, if she likes it, she will look closer and discover the notes. If not, it shall not be discovered. hahaha .... but it the end it was discovered much to my delight.

Holidays.....

Ok exams are over.... in fact... it has been over for close to 2 weeks!!!! haha... haven't been updating recently, too busy playing la.

Some updates.... have been watching movies. I have watched 3 movies so far! The incredibles, The shutters and National treasure. National treasure is crap. The other 2 is very nice, definitely worth yur money!

Haha... i am also very pleased that my little project this christmas is successful. This christmas i have decided to do a little community service to make it memorable and different. So i have organised a series of community service activities and have been recruiting volunteers to take part. Despite the initial stress, funding problems and fear of it not turning out right or it being unsuccessful, it turned out well after all. In fact i would say that i has been rather successful so far :) Ha ha.... this is especially encouraging as this is the first time i am organising anything :P but i would say its meanful and fullfilling coz its a very hands on activity. It is not jus the ritual of passing the bag ard asking ppl to donate money. To me, personally, i feel that being hands on is more meaningful and this applies to many things.

We met the ppl at the home for the first time last tue. Initally i was feeling rather self conscious, nervous and unsure. But after awhile, i realised that the ppl are actually very warm, friendly, straight forward and lovable. Its especially heart warming to see them enjoying the outing, going ard taking photos and smiling. Ha ha... everyone, residents and the volunteers throughly enjoyed themselves that day :) I actually find myself looking forward to meeting up with the guys on sat to do the presents and having the christmas party at the home on monday :) WOW!!!!

Exams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pessimistic yeah... ITS EXAMS LA.... Blardy stressed. I HATE EXAMS!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH.

PE.........

Check out my floodable chatbox -------->
Its gone again... what is his problem man.
Shall put it up at a later date.

Just have PE today. Woah .. disasterous!!! And this time i really mean disaster. It was about 30% completed i think, spent half the time debugging. Doh!!!!!! Its the exam cockup symdrome again! And i am a regular victim of that. Shucks...

Ok shall not complain about that. I guessed many hours in front of the computer last week has tire my eyes out. I have blurred vision at times, esp when catching the bus. Was it the lack of sleep, or is it just me???

Reached home and relaxed until now. Haven't done a thing except my 2 powerpoint presentations for the coming Members night and Welcome tea. Opened my email and saw 2 responses...hmmmm not that bad. Hopefully i can recruit around 20 members.

Cold day... for the first time i felt damn cold after coming out from the shower. Burr.... Cold cold cold... but i like it this way. There is nothing i hate more than a hot and humid night. I love year end, the monsoon rain, the cool weather, the christmas lightups.... yeah .... :P

Memories are always beautiful.....

just finished studying and preparing notes for this coming PE. Tired, spent the whole day trying to understand stuff.

As i was taking time off i suddenly thought of how sometimes... things, events stay in our memories in a way that wonderful memories seemed all so perfect, while painful memories dun seemed that painful as we initially thought it was.

Every little thing that is happening in your life right now all adds up, slowly builds up and paints a picture in our minds. Maybe 20 years down the road we might look back and say... awww... uni life is not that bad... we had plenty of time to play and plenty of friends back then. Hmm, then when u look at the situation now, we are complaining that we are buried under tonnes of tutorials and assignments and we have no time to sleep or socialise. But...... is it really that bad???? Naww..... its a matter of perspective i guess... a perception and how u see life in a different light, focusing on the positive things instead of the negative ones and always complaining and whining that the entire world owes u a living. But of course, we all love to whine and complain at times, its always good to have someone to lend a listening ear...heh heh ....

Don't u notice that sometimes u might have wonderful memories of a place or a particular activity or event. Then u feel nostialgic and try to recreate that memory again by going back to that wonderful place again, tasting that delicious food again or going out and doing that wonderful activity again and then u somehow feel that the magic of it all has somehow been lost or that it doesn't seemed as perfect as before and we get disappointed. How come??? Is it because things are no longer that wonderful now??? or is it because simply that we know what to expect and that our expectations are higher now??? Is it because we always tend to remember the beautiful things instead????

Or somethings, something sad or horrid happens and u felt terrible, sad and depressed. This could go on for days, weeks even months. But somehow, u got over it after awhile and sometime later when u look back, things don't seemed as bad as they were. Maybe because by then u would have seen that there is really light at the end of the tunnel. But during the time, all hope seemed to be lost during the hour of darkness. How true is that??? Or do we subconsciously choose to forget the worst things so that we can tell ourselves to move on and not be haunted by past unpleasant memories???

Are memories always that beautiful, less painful??? After all, many years down the road, when life is coming to its end, when we don't see a way ahead of us anymore, when there is nothing much to look forward to ..... we will only have our memories to hold on to ....... beautiful ones of course....

It is the nature of dogs to live much shorter lives than ours just eight years, on average and it has always been my belief that to love and own a dog is to understand and accept that along with loyalty, love, and devotion come the ever-present specters of grief and loss. This is as integral a part of the dog-loving experience as going for walks. To love dogs is to know death and to accept that there's never a time we are more morally obliged to speak for them than when they face the end of their lives.

I asked God....

I asked God if he could stay.
He said that he must leave.

I asked God if he could stay a little longer.
He said he already did.

I asked God if i could have him back,
He said that his time is up.

I asked God where would he go?
He said that he would go to heaven.

I asked God if he will be peaceful.
He said definitely.

I asked God if he was happy with us.
He said that he will miss us.

I told God that I would miss him too.
God wept and said

Don't worry i will bless and take care of him....

Sense of accomplishment

Just finished doing my programming lab... look its 2am...so can say finish quite early already. :P slogged for the whole weekend, had only about 4-5 hours of sleep per day, and other than eating or shitting i am infront of my notebook, either coding or stoning away..... most of the time feeling confused or damn fustrated cause of logical or syntax errors. Anyway, just submitted and got an A. So i am feeling an overwhelming sense of acomplishment here.

Hmm, haven't blog for so long. Been very busy lately mostly with sch work and Rotaract club. Had hardly anytime for myself!!!! Missed playing my guitar, this time i leave it at home instead of bringing it to hall. Won't have much time to play anyway.

sigh..... read the news and realised that christopher reeve's has passed away last week. He is such a strong person be have accepted his paralysis and lived on after his accident with such determination. Its a pity that he will never have the chance to walk again, just like he promised when he was alive: to stand on his feet one day. Have peace......

An incident over the weekend or rather on friday made me feel kinda sad and very uneasy. So i was rather in low spirits. Shall elaborate on it sometime later..... Now i am reallie afraid what it would be should the day come. Will i be able to accept it??? Will i be able to come to terms with the fact?? I don't know.... time is running out.... hai.............. :(

Movie...

Called up sormui on sunday and ask her out for a movie on wed. Been so long sinced we last went out hahaa....... And been so long since i last watched a movie ah .... no life in NUS :P
Now thinking of what movie to watch ....... comedy??? horror???? Action??? Romance?????
Need to look at movie previews liao....

Looking forward to this wed.. :P

Sundays....

Its Sunday again, and i am feeling lazy..... *yawn*
Wanted to wake up at 8 initially, needed to do some work. But in the end? woke up at 11 after like snoozing my alarm clock for a few times... a good many times in fact. Sunday is the only day where i can sleep till late. Not that i have alot of time to do that though.... :(

The home director still haven't called me back!!! Darn..... called up and reminded his secretary so many times liao. What the hell is he up to for god's sake. Emailed another home in the meantime. Think all comserv directors are either damn busy or else damn lazy.... so much for community service... :P

Woke up at 11 and began webcasting...until now...... Had to catched up on what i had missed on ponning lectures. I dun go because i dun understand/ cannot catch up! Or some ppl there are damn inconsiderate....talk so much ... talk so loudly.... complain so much that they dun understand.... why the hell can't they jus fucking shut up!!!! then listen.... sit there and quietly listen then can understand liao wat... make so much noise... made me lost in the lecture too.

Listening to an unplugged version of "Patience" by the Guns and Roses. This version is damn nice man.... The unedited, jus pure unplugged version with the acoustic guitar. Funny ah .... this song is abt patience.... and for those who know me will know that i have almost zero patience...haha. :P

When I'm 64 - The Beatles

When I get older losing my hair many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine,Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out til quarter to three would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?
Oh, you'll be older too - AhAnd if you say the word, I could stay with you
I could be handy mending a fuse when your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside,Sunday mornings, go for a rideDoing the garden,
digging the weeds, who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?
Every summer we could rent a cottage in the Isle of White,If it's not too dearWe shall skrimp and save, grandchildren at your knees,Vera, Chuck, and Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say,
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me an answer, fill in a form, mine forevermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?

Mid Autumn Festival

Had a mini Mid Autumn celebration with sormui yesterday. Went to the little garden downstairs of her place. Her mom had this impression that we are very hungry and going for a picnic and so packed lotsa food for us ah ...haha...... There is the mooncake, the big fruit ( start with P one ), and packet drinks. Felt very bad ah .... i never even bought anything lo.... should have bought mooncakes for her mom ah ....stupid me.......
We walked around the estate trying to find an empty spot to settle down but it seemed that it was crowded with kids everywhere. Sormui commented on my very poor and lousy sense of direction...but nevermind!!!! Ha ha..... in the end we landed at the little garden at the multi story carpark. Then realised that the lighter is spoilt, so went upstairs to get it again....aiyo........
After finally getting the lighter and some matchsticks, finally go abt the busy task of lighting candles and playing with sparklers..... hmmmm..... when is the last time i did that??? :P seems very long ago already. We then got this idea to light a row of candles.... after doing so sormui was so excited, saying yeah ..ok liao ok liao. haha so funny...... and of coz, who can forget the cool doraemon lantern that we have.
I can remember last time when i was in primary school. During the Festival, i would be burning everything that i can lay my hands on..... newspapers, candles, leaves, and of coz....once .... my neighbour's broom. haha .... he wasn't very pleased with me for doing that. Sormui's mother say that we, 2 uni students, are playing with candles and lanterns downstairs, making an excuse to act like kids with romance being a coverup. haha....... maybe so.... :P

But its fun mah .......

The line of candles that we lighted up :)

Us and that Doraemon Lantern :)

Birthday mini celeb

Went to holland V to celebrate key's bday. Key is a fellow rotarian board member. As we were all discussing on where to hold the next board meeting, just realised that he is actually full of SHIT!!! His ideas are all damn impractical loh. IMPRACTICAL, NONSENSICAL, NON_FEASIBLE, BULLSHIT ....shit just pure shit.....
He suggested holding it on a yacht out into the sea, in sentosa, in KTV, golf course over a game of golf... argh u get the idea.......!!! WHAT THE HELL MAN. and he suggested a foam party for members night. SLAP HIM LAh ... he damn free itzit??? we are not lo ...and he complains abt the four hour meeting we had the other time was too long. Wouldn't we waste more time implementing his shit ideas? Rayner gave me the " i feel like murdering this guy " look and i agreed...

Pity that ShiHui. She will need to work with him or rahter tolerate his nonsense for the rest of the workyear.

ARGH..................................................

Terrible

Midterm test was terrible.... Act the paper was easy, its just that i forgot this equation. How could I???? argh.... there goes 50 percent of my paper. Felt so terrible and argry :(

Anyway, just now as i was washing my clothes i saw this post it note on the washing machine. It reads :

--------------------------------------------
" To whoever,
Please check that the washing machine is empty before u put in yur clothes. It took me ages to separate YOUR clothes and MY clothes.
--------------------------------------------

heh... i wonder who that stupid idiot was. Din even bother to look into the washing machine when he dumped his clothes in. Poor guy who got a shocked when he saw his clothes mixed with some other person's. Eh.. try to get this thought out of yur mind:
that guy might be those kind that doesn't wash his clothes for weeks and only bathe once a week. Urgh!!!! Yucks! Pui~~~~~~

Terrible... just terrible...............

Hey its back!!!

Hey its back!!! my floodable chatbox!!! ------------>

wait a min, why the hell am i here... i shld be mugging for my midterms...argh ...slack slack....

MIdterm test

Was mugging for my midterms tomorrow....
I emailed the lecturer earlier... asking him on what formulas do we need to memorise and what formulas will be given to us.
Guess what, his reply was..... U'll be ok.
i was like .... HUH????? might as well not reply me!
argh ..... some ppl are jus downright eccentric!

Intimidated..... by me????

Sometimes i wonder, am i such an intimidating and unapproachable person? Over the past few days, i have been conducting interviews for the would be subcomm members. Some of them seemed very intimidated..... by me???? Come on... do i look like i would bite? hahaha......
I dunno, but over the years i have ppl telling me that i can be quite intimidating and aloof at times. I also dunno why but i dun feel this way though. Maybe its because of my introverted nature. I tend to be very very irritated when i am deep in thought and interrupted by small matters. However, that was last time and i dun feel as irritated as before now. Or maybe i am the type that cannot hide my irritation or anger. I think without me knowing it, i might be frowning or looking pissed. Ha!
At times, when i walk pass someone i know but dun know too well. I will hesitate to say hi. Hmmm, does he remember me? can he recognise me? As i was pondering i walked past...oh well..... dun u feel this way sometimes? Recently i did something i normally dun do... i smile. Then when i see a recipocated smile... i will say hi. Hmmm.... interesting... shld try this more often :)

MId Term Break

hmmm jus something i noticed... look over here -------->

What the HELL happened to my chatterbox??? aiyo, u ppl out ther underutilise it lah ...then it has decided to call it a day liao :P

Midterm break is here... in fact, it is gonna be over tomorrow. Well, despite it being a midterm break, still very busy trying to catch up on all the laggin sch work and eca commitements. Hai...... hardly have time to do something meaningful... like sleeping. :P Sleep is very important to me lah, as those close to me will understand.

Now, my time is stretched everyday. Hardly have much free time to stone. I still got my pay at paragon haven collect lor. Not to mention activating my DBS Debit card. Think kena cancelled liao. Right now my time is splitted into studies, gf, eca and family. Argh........ going to faint soon liao *yawn*

Discovery channel

The other day, i was curious and so tuned in to discovery channel. And guess what, it was really interesting man. The title of the show is uncovering History's greatest mysteries: Who Killed Julius Caesar. Its narrated by this italian historian, who is out to find out the circumstances surrounding the death of one of History's greatest person, Julius Caesar. He even reenacted the crime scene and got people to act it out. From his findings, he concluded that he was killed by 5 - not more than 10 people. Hmmmm, the way he investigate is very systematic and scientific. Every deduction or assertion he made was well supported by evidence. U must understand that Caesar lived more than 2000 years ago. So being able to find out so much from ancient text, archeological evidene is pretty impressive. Anyway, what he later found out and concluded is most impressive. He concluded that Julius Caesar actually planned his own death, using his conspirators as his suicidal tool.
There are alot of reasons behind him plotting his own death. One of them is that he is suffering from some disease that causes him to shake uncontrolably and prevented him from controlling his bowels. Now Caesar is a very vain ruler. He is someone who is very concious of his image and will do whatever to protect it at all cost. One arguement is that he plotted his own death to preserve his dignity, so as not to die ungraciously from disease that is out to consume his physical body. Another reason is that he wanted his name to be preserved in history. He wanted to live forever in historical records. There are also many evidence that he wanted his own death. He knew about the oncoming assasination. Yet 2 weeks before he was actually assasinated, he dismissed his body guards, a baffling move. Also when he was assasinated, in his hand, he was actually holding on to a piece of letter, delivered to him be an unknown person. The letter warns him about the oncoming assasination.

This is a truly interesting documentary. Hmmm... i know that Caesar is a very cunning person, however i din know he was that cunning. Another interesting thing to note is that his conspirators plotted his assasinations as they hated being controlled and dictated by Caesar. After the successful assasination, they ran thru the streets with joy, thinking that they are forever free from him. Little did they know that they had actually carried out Caesar's last bidding!!! Caesar actually used his conspirators to plot his own death. A few days before his death, Caesar changed his will, changing his heir. This heir later accended the throne. Within the next few months, he hunted down all the conspirators and had them disposed of! This again shows that Caesar had planned everything mediculously before his death!!! What a cunning and sly person he is!

Life's harsh realities

One of my friends, Meng ting called me today. She told me that Dong mei's ( this gal from OAC last time in JC ) father had just passed away. Life is so unpredictable. Before her, i think i remembered a few of my friends with single living parents. I dunno, but somehow upon hearing the news i felt very disturbed by it. How often do we really appreciate our parents. How often do we honour them, really talk to them. How aware are we on the sacrifices that they have made for us....... before they are really gone. The sense of dread in me is overwhelming...
She further told me that they will be meeting up at 7 tomorrow to visit her. But alas! i am meeting ChangHao, my president to discuss some ECA stuff. So cannot go liao.... Hopefully she will be ok lah, althought i also dunno her very well... but my heart will go out to anyone who has lost a parent. I must have felt really really terrible. I send her my greatest condolences, and hopefully will be strong to pull through this terrible ordeal...

Gundam

gundam!


check this out ....!!! I simply love Gundam models!!!!! :)

so sian....

Sigh... getting pretty depressed and sianz recently. Went to lectures and only understood 20 percent of the stuff, sometimes even lesser. Later in the evenings look throught my notes and can't seem to decifer the equations and stuff. Try to do tutorials but only end up fustrated... What the hell is happening man !!!! LOW MORALE.... :(

Is it just me or is there some other soul is the department of electrical engineering who also like me, is feeling damn lost and helpless? Right now, the only module i can understand is programming and my GEK. As for the the rest...... sigh..... :( super sianz.

My Birthday ( Part 1 )

Hmm... have not been blogging for sometime ah ... Busy man!!! Busy with so many things.... shall talk abt my birthday ....

Hee ... met sormui on last Sunday. One day before my bday. She say she wanted to take me to eat dim sum buffet. I love buffets. U can eat and eat and eat...... thats like paradise, simply delightful. We went to China Square. There is this Chinese resturant there that has this dim sum buffet or rather high tea I think. It starts at 3 ends at 5. We got there JUST in the nick of time. We arrived in a cab, haha…. Sormui forgot to bring her Ezlink card lah… then late because have to go back home to get it. Blur blur one….. : P
After we put down our things, we hurried over to join the growing queue to get our dim sums. Talk abt variety man ….it had everything that dim sum should have……except the xiao long pau. For the first round, we both filled our tray with food. The magical thing abt dim sum is, you can stack up those “longs” hence u can imagine how much we took. The table for 2 we had had barely enough space to put all those stuff we took!!! Haahaa… we had siew mai, har gao, ma tai gou, some fried prawn, charsiew paus…………
We took like sometime to finish it. Then sormui, with having eaten the last siewmai, hurriedly got up and drag me to take more food. Hhahaa she is still chewing her siewmai while queueing up for the next round!!!! That was rather hilarious. After the 3rd round we were really quite full. Time check : its 4.20. hmmm so 2 hours to eat buffet dim sum is more than enough. We were really eating quite slowly by then, trying to stuff the remaining stuff that we “overtook” into our inflated stomachs. Here are some pics of the dim sum….


Round 1 : yummy!!! :P


Round 2 !!!!!

After the dim sum, we walked out of the resturant, feeling very satisfied, not to mention FULL!!! Later we walked to Boat Quay. Along the way, sormui jus refused to tell mi where are we headed. Later I found out that we are going to the Jazz Pub that I always mention to her. Hmmm how nice of her to remember J .
As it was quite early, we stop by at the Coffee Bean beside it for a drink. She tried to pull some surprise by asking mi to go check what time the pub opens then slipped my present into my bag. However, I came back later, put my stuff back into the bag and somehow never noticed the present. She got this really constipated look on her face. As I was wondering what was happening she suddenly burst out: “ WAH!!!! SO OBVIOUS ALREADY U NEVER SEE….. HEARTATTACK AH !!!!!!!” which made me quite stunned. What thing what thing???????? Orh………. Opps ….. how can I missed that……???? Opps stun failed :P sorry lah…..
.
After some guesswork, my present turns out to be a wallet. A nice black Pierre Cardin wallet. Open it and surprise!!! There is a picture of the both of us – the one we took at the millennia walk fountains, in it. A nice personal touch… THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!! J


My bday present !!!


This is the picture inside ...

Think before u ask......

haahaa got this from an email. Think its pretty amusing... some are quite true...others well......

13 things he hates about people:

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time....I know here my watch is pal, where the fuck is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Fucking right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?

When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the fuck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No tosser, I paid 10 quid to come to the cinema and stare at the fucking floor.

People who ask "Can I ask you a question?. Didn't really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?

When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

When people say "life is short". What the fuck?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever fucking does!! What can you do that's longer?

When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet?. If the bus came would I be standing here, Knob head?

People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to be'. So what did they used to be? ears, Wellington boots?

When you're eating something and someone asks 'Is that nice?' No it's really revolting - I always eat stuff I hate.

People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks that's an image I really didn't need.

McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you if you don't insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering..... It has to be a McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger gets blank looks. Well I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you fucking McTosser.

Everything`s seemed to be spoiling on me.

My phone spoilt on me today. It refused to respond to any shit i pressed on its keypad. What the HeLL manz !!! So damn pissed.... and it must happened when i need to reply messages lo..... The 4 in 1 printer back home also spoil (my sis spoilt it ), my notebook screen also spoiling......... everything electronic gadget i am using seemed to be either faulty or partially faulty ..... AND IT ALWAYS SPOILS 1 OR 2 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY IS OVER LOH!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck man!!!!
So basically today i am jus driving my dad`s car up and down Singapore. First from NUS to home to pick up that damned printer, then to orchard to fixed the printer and buy myself a new phone. The repairs for the printer cost $198!!!!! Damn shit!!! but what to do ? This printer cost 600 plus ....cannot say throw away also ...no choice! Repair lah ....$##%^#$
Bought the Samsung X430 for only $48 with a 2 yr plan. My FIRST flip phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Basically i jus upgraded my existing singtel plan. Initially set my eyes on the sony erricsson K700i but that will cost $498 and i am only just a damn poor student. Anyways, a phone is jus to make phone calls, i think have the camera, bluetooth, whatever fanciful shit inside also no use. After awhile also will get sianz, and it will jus be another phone. Quite happy with the phone that i got. Its cheap, what do u expect? Only complain is that the sms system SUCKS............maybe i am jus not used to it, but i find that the nokia one is better.

Fireworks.... wishes flows with the river.....

Went with sormui to watch fireworks today. The last Sunday of the three for the fireworks festival. I was pretty fearful of coming again at first but later was very glad to found the place alot alot less crowded that the week before. I nearly died there last week!!! It was so crowded that there were ppl stepping on my feet!!!! The fireworks this week was nice :) much nicer than last week`s. There were basically more variety in terms of colours and patterns. This time, we managed to get a better view, and much closer to the fireworks as well as the booms when the fireworks goes off were very much louder. There was the smell of the gunpowder as well. There was this crazy guy behind us.... he just keeps on WAHing ......making exxagerated WAhs.....comments....basically jus trying to attract attention. Eh.... ShutUP!!!!! dude.....

Later, went to coffee bean to have cheesecake. Hey, I love cheesecake now!!!!! I used to hate it!!!! but i still hate CHEESE.....esp those powdered form that u sprinkle onto yur pizza to make it into some piece of SHIT. BUT now !!!! I LOVE CHEESE CAKE ....yummy. Then we had tis bottle of espirit drink and had this idea of writing our wishes into a piece of paper, insert it into the bottle then throw it out into the river. wah ....littering rite.... : P The Wishes we wrote....some were pretty nonsensical, with alot of silly cartoons and stuff like that.... then realised that the paper too big ...cannot fit into the bottle. ( Aiyah ... we greedy lah .... can ??? ) Later brought it up to the bridge, trying to look inconspicious...... Look right.....Look left..... Check again.... take a deep breathe.... and throw/dropped it into the Singapore River. hahahaha... dunno if it works ...but certainly hope that it will come true though. What an idea!! i would never have thought of it.....

Now, our wishes are flowing with the river.... hopefully some wish fairy will pick it up :)

Genki Sushi.....NUS

Recently, Genki Sushi opened at NUS. The resturant is rather large and it offers 20% discount off the total bill. There is this so called master chef there too. However, i think he shld be called Master "Kao Bei" chef. Everytime he makes a sushi, he would yell out the name of that disk at the top of his voice, in a tone that resembles the war cry a kungfu master makes before executing a move. Talk abt " Garangness " in the kitchen. Then every few mins or so he will be yelling at the top of his voice something like... " Hao Chi bu Hao Chi " with the strong Jap accent. It means tasty or not tasty in chinese. But the sushi there is not particularly tasty..... in fact, the sashimi there don`t taste very fresh, in fact it taste rather stale.
The other day I went there with all my previous hallmates....." Gathering of the Devils". There was Engkiat, Eugene and Rayner. We ordered the Big party sushi set ( its $42 ) and some other small sushi plates that passes thru the converyer belt. We waited rather long for the party set to arrive, feeling very impatient coz we were all so damn hungry. When it finally came, we were a little disappointed coz the ingredients they used to make it was not very fresh. After we finished everything, Rayner noticed that there was a fly that flew into his cup. Then we had this evil idea to put the fly into the sushi and complain. ok ok .... i admit that that was very mean of us.. :(
Anyway, it so happened that it was the manager that he complained to. Its soo funny, coz Rayner was like pretending to look damn pissed, telling the manager that there was this fly lah, the sushi not fresh lah, then wait very long lah.... The manager was like.... okok sorry sorry we are very sorry abt this....then he said, " Ok this party set is free for u all and would u like some ice cream? Its on the house. " Then he hurried over and brought us 4 hagendaz Ice cream. I was like ....WOW....... is this for real??!?!?!?! Muahahahahaha...... Then Engkiat says that maybe we shld carry some flies with us for future gatherings. Evil.......evil........hehheh.......
Anyway the entire meal which is suppose to cos us like 50 plus is now free. Not bad. But i think they gave in to us so readily coz they just opened and they don`t wanna affect their reputation. Anyway, such bad rep travels and spread fast among the students. Hahaha....for shaking their heads now....... don`t accused us for being evil liao lah ....we felt baaadd..... really lah ...haha :P

I`m so muddleheaded

I`m forever so muddle headed...... always forgetting things, misplacing things, getting lost, getting myself into freak accidents!!!!!! What the hell is WRONG with me man ?!!??!!?!? First i woke up today at 8am thinking that my lecture starts at 9. So there i was, happily making my morn tea, getting ready for my morn bath, watching channel news asia.... Then all of a sudden, Weiling called me, asking me if i am coming to lecture anot. I was thinking, WAH this weiling was reallie kiasu man ...lecture starts at 9 then so early call liao ....must be thinking of not going to lecture rite?! BUT it turns out that, the lecture actually starts at 8 am and i was LATE!!!! i checked my clock ...opps 8.20 am .....cannot bathe liao....gtg..........rush rush rush rush .....(actually no lah .....was taking my own sweet time ...by the time i got there it was already 8.40 and the lecture ended in the next 5 mins. What a blunder man!!! And this is not the first time..............imagined what would happen if this is exam time! GROAN~~~~
The first week of sem3 ????? SIANzzzzzzzz.......... my printer jus stopped working on me due to ( what i found out later...) software problems....so i was made to sit thru almost the entire week of lectures without my lecture notes. What a drag....why did i even bother to go in the first place!!!

Back in Nus, Semester 3 .........

Sem 3 of my Nus jus started. It`s pretty amusing to see those freshies walking ard the campus looking very lost. :) Which also reminds me that i am in Yr 2 liao ....hai........ Those introduction lectures were pretty boring , but they gave us a preview of what is to come....sigh .....its not gonna be easy man. This is gonna be yet another struggling, many late nights, semester in torturious Engine Fac. I will miss my sleep. Moved into hall, despite cleaning it again and again ...somehow i feel that its still dirty. Why ah ???? I always feel itchy when i stay in it for long .... And it gets dusty very easily..... I HATE dust !!!! I will get rashes and sneeze all over..... There are lotsa creepy crawlers ard tooo .....that day ...when i was using the com, a moth flew in from outside and collided with my forehead. What a shock i had !!!!! Yucks.... And there was this beetle that flew in when i was watching TV with sormui also... This time i lived in a single room in Old Kent Ridge hall. From the outside, it looked as though i was haunted. However, after checking out the interior, it was pretty well furnished. And GUESS WHAT???? its facing north.....so i dun get the sun shining directly into my room at anytime of the day. The room i had last sem in RH is facing the West!!! So every late afternoon it was like a furnace. It was so damn hot that i dun even feel like staying in the room, so i`m really happy with my hall now. I tried to make it more cosy though.... with air fresherners..... and a TV. Think what it lacks is some human company. So sianz man, everyone here seemed to jus closed and locked their doors. Feels all alone living down here with no sense of community living. Turning into a hermit soon..........

LOst, loST annnnd LOST !!!!!!!

Went to watch the fireworks again at the esplanade with sor mui. It was DAMN ( read DaaaAAAmMN) crowded. People everywhere. When we finally squeeze our way to esplanade, it was worst. Everybody was squeezed together. There was no breathing space!!! Finally when the fireworks came on there were cheers and screams. Everyone was so excited, not to mentioned squashed. However despite several extremely IRRITATING and INCONSIDERATE teenagers.......... the crowd was generally orderly and trying to accomodate each other. Only those damn teenagers were pushing ard, talking damn LOUDLY, walking with a swollen crotch......... KIDS ah .......deserved to be slapped ah!!!!
After the fireworks display ( act last week`s was nicer ) silly me had this silly idea of walking to kallang via the riverside park and.............it leads to disaster!!!!! It`s possible to walk there....only problem is that it is damn FAR. Halfway we gave up, exited the park and found out that we were in the middle of nowhere. In some cross junction of some expressway. Tried to hail a cab for 1 hour without success. Helpless, we reentered the park again and tried to find out way to kallang. Alot of the routes have changed due to the nicole highway collaspe. Help!!! we were damn losT!!! After abt 1 hour, we finally arrived at Kallang stadium and managed to hail a cab there. The Diver is not sure how to get to CCK and he got LOST !!!!!!!! AGAIN!!!!! Its always me to get lost here get lost there......... sometimes i think that i am too much also. Absent minded and muddle headed. All these while joey din even complain. So grateful to u for being so understanding :)

clutching on the glimmer of hope

Went to another vet today to get a 2nd opinion. He told us that the cancer is not a confirm case and that it is only a suspected one from the blood test results. Hmmm .... he is a very much more experienced vet and we sorta believed what he said more. The other vet potrayed herself as inconfident and inconclusive. The 2nd vet went on to say that David`s liver is failing and that he has only a small chance of surviving. They put him on drip to inject some glucose and amino acids into his body to give him energy and nutrients. After the drip, it became slightly more alert. Currently, he is now under intensive medication and living with a no solid foods diet. My dad cooks porridge with some chicken liver for him and he ate it hungrily. Guess that he has been hungry all the while, its just that he cannot digest his dog biscuits well and often vomits them out. He also must go for daily drips at the vet until he recovers. Now there is a glimmer of hope for him and we are all holding dearly to it..........

And his days are numbered................

The vet called this morning with bad news on the line. They said that David had cancer liver cancer and it has reached the final stages. The lumps on his body were swollen lymph nodes. They asked if we want to put it down to lessen his sufferings. I cannot bring myself to make any decision. Yes he is suffering, but i know that he is happy at home and with us right now. Even if the days are number, i got a feeling that he wants to stay around at home and with us until his time. I cannot bring myself to say that we shall put it to sleep. He will be so disappointed with us if we do that. He starts to drink water now but still doesn`t eat anything. It tries to sleep but always not for long. I think he is too much in pain to sleep, or maybe doesn`t want to sleep at all. Though painful, he still walks around the house limping around. Thats how active my dog is ....... he just cannot sits still. His face is more swollen today. He used to have a very porportionate face and everybody that sees him calls him a very handsome dog. Now he is such a sorry sight. My only hope now is that he will spend his remaining time with us happy and loved.

My dog is very sick :(

I feel so drained, so tired today. My dog is very sick. Its 11 years old, it`s old enough to be a grandpa. I have had him with me since i was 11. When he first came he was only 6 weeks old, very small, very curious and playful. My sister named him david, but its a human`s name. So we got him another name, that is vacuum. However he prefers the name david, so he is always david to us. We have had a good 11 years with him. He is smart and very playful. He loves poking his nose around, he loves outings. When he was young, he was very very active, always finding opportunity to sneak out of the house to play. He got lost once but we found him back. He quitely become notorious among my neighbours as he would run ard in the corridor and even sometimes into their houses looking for ppl to play with him. Its quite a sight with my dog running as fast as it could with me and my sister after it trying to stop him by pouncing on him. Years passed, it lost it`s sight due to cataract. However it is still active for its age. Partially blind, he sniffs its way ard the house. Sometimes when it is excited, it runs ard and bangs into furniture with a loud tud!!! With age his taste for food changes as well, no longer does he like beef, he now likes to eat oranges, apples and certain vegetable. It has turned vegetarian...hmmmmm ???
Recently we brought him to stay at the pet hotel, as my mother is going overseas for holiday. When he came back, he was a sorry sight. He is a shadow of his old self, sitting quietly hunched in one corner. When we tried to talk to it, it jus sat there head down, looking at u. It feels so heartbreaking. His face is lumpy and he has lumps on his legs as well. He walks in a very painful manner, inch by inch, all the while with his head hanging low. We brought it to the vet. They did an x-ray and a blood test on it. They said that they will tell us the results the next day. When he came back he seemed to be slightly better. However it still doesn`t eat or drink. He still looks to be in pain, but its happy to be home again. He must have been really homesick when he was staying at the pet hotel. His eyes have a lot of dried deposits around, so i guess it must have been crying alot. I really hope that his will be fine. Dogs can live up till 15 years, some even up to 18. Please, please don`t let it leave us so soon.......

Tired!!!!!!!!!

i typed an entry into this post but somehow upon hitting the publish button everthing jus disappeared. Whatever the hell happened to the text??? It`s abt going to sentosa via cable car to play golf and later to Shiyu`s house to stay over together with WX and Derrick. Tired manz...... Lazy to type everything again so jus leave it.

Brotherhood

Watched brotherhood today. Hmmmm interesting to see the Korean War from the korean`s perspective instead of the usual American one. Guess most of the koreans at the war front on either side during that time were unwilling conscripts being drafted to fight a war which idealism in which it is being fought upon was unknown or little known to them. War is really such a terrible thing i guess. Those conscripts at the war front, most of them also did not really know what they are fighting for. I do realised something to, when it comes to war, soldiers don`t fight for their country, they fight to protect their love ones, their wives and families that are in danger, their comrades fighting side by side with them. That is their motivation for fighting on. I mean, when u see people dying around u, bullets whizzing pass your head, who the hell gives a damn on what politics, what idealism, what medaks, what country???????? ( Opps.... national day coming ah .... ) U just want to survive today and tomorrow and the day after... For this movie, its kinda touching how much this guy can do for his brother. Great movie i must say, just ignore the exagerating parts like him charging towards an MG with little fire support. hmmmmm........... movies will always be movies. In real life, gung ho also must gung ho smartly .....charging straight towards the enemy can only mean a bullet ridden body and a war medal. So if all these are for real, who are the really brave one? The selfless ones? I guess no one can tell unless one is thrown into the battlefield

Pancake flipper

Tried a hand at making pancakes today. It was a rather terrible experience i guess. First i couldn`t find the measuring cylinder to guage how much water i need to add to the powdered stuff from the " Pancake Mix, just add water " box. So in the end i just put everything in a jug and just estimate the water needed. I think, i think it turned out right coz after battering it is smooth. So i found a pan, added a tat too much oil on it and it ended up sizzling. And when i pour the pancake mix on it, it started sizzling everywhere, splurting oil and and everything all over the place. I was soooo damn panic man ....off the fire and stand far away from that all the hell break loose pan..... holding that wooden cooking ladel like a mad man, hoping to defend myself from whatever the hell gonna break loose. Later i learned that i shouldn`t put so much oil and that i only need to on a small fire to cook and not the largest flame i got earlier!!!!!!!! I thought the bigger the flame the faster it cooks mah ......... no wonder my first few pancakes all " chao tar " ( badly burnt black ) It looks like leather from an old rotting wallet :( After making many failed pancakes ( some are flower shaped, some black, some raw, some jus a mess of dunno what ), I finally got one right. Erm...... at least its almost golden brown ( Bronze dark brown to be exact ) and it`s ROUND!!!!!! U know how damn difficult it is to make your goddamn pancake round????? YES.......ROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmm....not bad ....first attempt ...no fire, no explosions, no fatality, no disasters! : ) When i am finally done, took alot of washing up as every little thing seems to like to stick to the pan.
Later i brought it to sormui and showed her my great masterpiece, the round pancake. Erm......think it took some difficulty to actually eat it. hahahah... erm .......act honestly speaking i think i make one got no taste eh ...........

Moral of the story ????????? save the trouble and just go Mcdonalds before 11am and order hotcakes : )

American Pie

I am simply in love with this song " American Pie " by Don Mclean. Yes this song is originally written by him, NOT madonna. It is written in memory of Buddy Holly, who died in a plane crash in 2nd Feburary 1959 due to a snowstorm. The same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly also took the lives of Richie Valens ("La Bamba") and The Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace"). Since all three were so prominent at the time, February 3, 1959 became known as "The Day The Music Died". Its a song with rather sad lyrics...............


A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile and I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while but February made me shiver with every paper I delivered, bad news on the door step, I couldn't take one more step, I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride but something touched me deep inside, the day, the music, died. So...

CHORUS
Bye, bye Miss American Pie drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry an them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye singin this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die.

Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in God above, if the bible tells you so, and do you believe in rock n' roll, can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well I know that you're in love with him cuz I saw you dancin in the gym you both kicked off your shoes and I dig those rhythm and blues. I was a lonely teenage bronkin buck with a pink carnation and a pick up truck but I knew I was out of luck, the day, the music, died. I started singin...

Chorus

Now for ten years we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rollin stone but that's not how it used to be, when the jester sang for the king and queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me, oh and while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown the courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned, and while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park and we sang dirges in the dark, the day, the music, died. We were singin...

Chorus

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin fast, its the land that falled on the grass the players tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast, now the half-time air was sweet perfume while the sergeants played a marching tune we all got up to dance oh but we never got the chance oh as the players tried to take the field the marching band refused to yield do you recall what was revealed, the day, the music, died. We started singin...

Chorus

Oh and there we were all in one place, a generation lost in space with no time left to start again, so come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle stick because fire is the devils only friend, oh and as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clinched in fists of rage, no angel born in hell could break that satan's spell and as the planes climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial right I saw satan laughing with delight, the day, the music, died. He was singin...

Chorus

I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news but she just smiled and turned away, I went down to the sacred store where I'd heard the music years before but the man there said the music wouldn't play and in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried, and the poets dreamed but not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken and the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, they caught the last train for the coast, the day, the music, died, and they were singin...

Chorus

They were singin... Bye, bye Miss American Pie drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry an them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye singin this will be the day that I die.

KTV session.

Went to KTV today with Joey, Clarence and Ziman. We all went to Party World at orchard and I must say, the way they furnish the KTV... it makes it look damn sleezy. From the deco, to the sofas, to the doors with golden handles...... the whole KTV reminds me of some sleezy shanghai night club or some " ham shup" KTV. Kaoz..... At first should have 2 more ppl with us, but Weiling and her bf, Zhenming are coming later. The KTV was rather fun although i have great difficulting singing those chinese songs coz i jus dunno how to read the words!!!!!!!! Joey was beside me, reading out practically every line of lyrics in advance for me : P. YEs!!! My chinese is that bad !!! I can speak and listen to chinese pretty well but when it comes to reading and writing ....its no No NO!!!!
Ya for those of u scratching your heads now ...thinking that erm.... what the hell is alex doing in the ktv....well....i must say its all thanks to joey. I used to be very shy with the mircophone....and ...i do have a lousy voice and am terribly tone deaf. ( i think i still am !! ) Joey was the one encouraging me saying things like ...eh ...its not that bad lah ..... can one lah .....  Hmmmm... that gradually built up my confidence i guess..... Thanks sooo much sormui.... :)
Later, after the ktv, met up with the rest of the kpoh group. They are, sam, weiling and zhenming. Why kpoh group??? Coz all of us share something in common. We are all damn Kpoh !!!! Everything also want to know! And some of them are powerful gossipers ( not in the bad sense though ) The moment we sat down on the table, the girls started gossiping abt the latest news, clothes whatever whatever...............girls lah ....... We ordered this huge sea food platter accompanied by a pizza. What a feast!!! Then after the meal, while walking around, zm saw earings going cheap for $10 for 3 pairs. So she asked joey and sam to each get one too so that can be cheaper. So the next 30 mins or so was spent deciding which ones to buy, who to buy more, .which one nicer, which one looks common blah blah blah..... until they FINALLY settle down on a choice. In the end the funny thing was ...its was zm who suggested getting earrings and end up i got joey a pair and sam got 2. Hmmmmm .......girls ah !!!!!  hai~~~~  : P heehee....anyways the one that they got was really nice lah .... so no complains...happy can liao lor :)

Millenia Walk Fountains

Went to Millenia Walk. The fountains are sooooo nice. The lighting, the sound of the water flowing..... a romantic night out with a love one :D As usual, on our way there, she was saying that i will sure get lost again. Hmmm am i that bad... but ok lah i do admit that i have i bad sense of directions, not to mention equally poor memory. Anyway, in the end some old grey cells of mine still retain an impression on how to get there and we reached there eventually after a few detours :P We walked around messing with the digi cam that i brought along. TOok a few pictures here and there. Then i got this idea of going to the glass panel behind and take our reflection off those glass panels. It took many tries thou, before we could get it right. In the end its sormui who got it right ah ..... :D She was happily saying again and again " see see .....still say i cannot take photos"
aiyoz..........sorry lahz......
 


Took our reflections off the glass panel at millenia walk fountains..... it took us quite a while...but i think it turns out very nice :D I took this one ...but its abit off centre


This is the picture that sormui took. We finally got it right this time!!! After looking at it both of us think its rather creepy ah ... look like casper in the rain on some dark stormy night :P

My driving license.......... FiNaLLy!!!!!!!!!!

Took my diving test today ......
I woke up actually feeling "kan jiong". Thats rather strange.... ususally i am rather calm about such things. I checked the clock. 5.30am.  Woah thats a bit early.... still got another one hour plus to sleep before needing to get out of bed. I tried to sleep somemore until it was eventually 6.45am before i got up.
Had takeaways for breakfast then got down to ubi driving centre. Traffic was heavy and the bus, utterly congested. I reached there some 45mins later.

The morning`s circuit practice before the test was a nightmare. I made many mistakes. Missed a turning, overshot white line, hit the kerb during crank course, and hit the kerb again during parallel parking. Parallel parking!!!!!!! this is the first time i hit the kerb during parallel parking in all my one year plus plus experience as a trainee!!! And it had to be today!! :(

So when i started the actual test later, i was rather calm, thinking that i was doomed to failure. However, i went throught the circuit without any mistakes and slowly, my confidence builts up. It was unevenful on the road too, except that when a lorry comes out of a junction and cut into my lane suddenly. Thankfully i was alert. When i finally reached the driving centre, the tester told mi to turn right into the sheltered area. Happy be be back i turned in, rather too fast, resulting in a very wide turn. Then, i turned into the left lane immediately without checking in went into the shelter, again too fast.......... opppppss!!!!!!! ( it`s always me to get complacent in the last min and blow it all ) With that, the tester angrily turned around and said, " Wahhhhh, u horrible driver, never check blindspot ah !!!!!!! " I turned around sheepishly.
" U ah ....some ppl seldom check blindspot ....some ppl sometimes check ......as for U, u NEVER checked at all ......thats really terrible....u can cause accident u know.....u better improve your driving technique.......and u better be careful in future......blah blah blah blah !!!!!!!!! " said in an agitated tone.

"shucks.......this time ah .....sure fail again ah "

After his lecture, he put a tick at the passed box and handed me my test slip. I was very surprised....did he tick wrongly anot? I checked the paper and added the marks ...hmmm 18 ...so is pass. It took awhile for this piece of information to sink in......before ......woooooohooooooo
I passed ..!!!!!!!!! I finally passed!!!!!!!  

Joey and I met up with Clarence and his gf, zhiman for a movie today. We watched King Arthur. It was Clarence who suggested watching the show together. Althought initially i thought of going east coast to cycle with Joey today, i thought that this group dating thing was a pretty good idea......so why not? Its rare to find common friends. I do admit that initially i felt rather wierd, sorta like don`t know what to say .... but its ok ..we will get over it soon. I mean, come on this is the only the first such outing right. Its sometimes rather awkward when we all like dunno what to say. Zhiman was like trying to start some sorta conversation and i think both me and Joey has got nothing much to add on to it...... erm.... perhaps we still haven warmed up to it yet lah .....hope that we didn`t make Clarence and Zhiman feel uncomfortable or anything. Haahaa anyways it was nice meeting Zhiman, the one that Clarence always speak so fondly of :) Hope that there will be more such outings in future, and this time Weiling and Zhengming comes along too!!!

As for the movie... i think it was rather disappointing. The characters have no depth and even when they die, u don`t feel for them. The plot is weak too...... not much nerve wreaking action too.

Hall Application successful

I recieved the email last friday. Naturally i was overjoyed. Of course happy lah ~~ can save on travelling time ... 3 hours in total each day !!! thats alot of time that i can spend on doing other more meaningful things. I was given the old kent ridge. At first i thought that i was allocated Extension A. Extension A is like kwok. The building is relatively new and its high rise, with the highest storey being 8th storey. However i was rather disappointed to be allocated to the old kent ridge. That place is damn old man..... its like a haunted house!!!!!! There are no facilities either .....NO FACILITIES Wah ........ as what Rayner ( my roommate last sem ), make friend with pointainak.
 
*shivers*
 
Hmmm... so dunno want to stay anot leh ........ must weigh the pros and cons. I really hope to find accomodation. If not, must travel up and down ... waste time and very tiring as well.... furthermore, i am a person that cannot function without sleep. Furthermore, if i choose to stay, i can spend more time with joey during the semester. More able to accompany her when she got free periods. 
Hmmmm pros and cons............. but if i choose to stay ....hopefully Rayner can be my neighbour.... got some company is better. Furthermore .... both of us can be daaaammnn crappy, so it will be fun. Beats staying alone....so sianzzzzzz

Working experience

I just finished my 3 day stint working as a sales promoter with Hugo Boss and boy .... and i dead tired. These days i don`t seem to have as much energy as i had in the past. I used to be able to work full shifts, from 9.30 am till 11pm then go out for a late night coffee or pool with my friends later on. I would reach home at about 2am and worked full shift the very next day for maybe like 3 consecutive days before i would drop dead but i can`t seem to do all these now. I used to be able to sleep 4 hours a day and still function normally in the day time but now even with 6 hours of sleep i can still be a walking zombie....Why ah ??? cannot be old so soon right i am only 21 going 22!!!! O_o  Maybe i should reflect abit and do some adjustments to by bio clock and inject some energy and zest into the monotonous life i am having right now.....
 
The 3 days of work has been pretty amusing to me. Life as a retailer is rather similar to that of an actor. I mean before the store opens we are cleaning the counters, checking stocks, chatting, playing with our goods, lying down.... then just before the store opens, there will be an announcement to get us into positions. Its something like a " ready action go !!! " kinda thing. Then throughout the day, we must act smilely and nice .....
smile smile smile ..... even if the customer looks like a pig or when she is bitchy...
laugh laugh at all the cold jokes that they sometimes give,
act knowledgeble.... even if u dun have a damn clue what the hell they want,
act cool even when they make some comments that makes u wanna punch them,
and.........
 make the product damn nice or cool .... even if u personally think it smells like some 100 day fermented youghurt that makes even my dog puke in disgust.........
 
all of these .....all for the sake of sales ...and my commission.... unscrupulous me...........
 
I learn some pretty cool stuff as well regarding women`s makeup.
A women`s makeup box, something damn complicated, lotsa stuff inside each with a specific use ... really it reminds me of a surgeon`s surgery tool satchet.
They got small casings of different coloured stuff inside where they use a brush to apply it to their face. The colour variety is amazing.... from hot pink to Crimson red to matt honey ........ so many colours aiyo ... why not just stick to a few basic colours??? seriously.... i think some colours don`t have much difference also... no need to mar fan lah ....
They got this big brush to apply to the cheeks ...so they can fake a blush and look embrasses at everything, or make their face look so smooth that even the mosquito slips off. They got smaller brush for the eye area... called mascara supposingly to make the eyes look bigger. Hmmm.......
Or is that eye shadow ...... when the women stays up all night watching and crying over some silly korean soap. This can cover up the eye bags and red ard the eye area and make them look fresh the next day
They got nail polish ...super alot of colours one .....if not applied with skill will look like peeling paint coming off a chinatown shophouse
Lipsticks.... interestingly comes in 3 modes.... glossy, semi-gloss and matt. eh........ think its a personal preference kinda thing ...cannot think of what functions each can do.
They got this small brush ...to come up the eye lashes so that can get something like Zhang Ziyi`s eye  lashes....nice!!!
There is tweezers.... they use this to pluck eyebrows make it shapely so that wun be so bushy look like Osama like that.
then if u no skill puck also pluck too much, eyebrow outa shape or worst still, accidentally shaven off ....don`t worry ...got these pencils there ....with mirror and a steady hand ...u can draw back your eyebrows and Hooo la!!!!! These pencils come in many colours also ....so u can choose some eyebrow colour then match with your dyed hair.... so cool right....
 
Now i also start to wonder ........ lets say a women puts alot of makeup, then later in the day when she goes home ...then washes her face....woah .... everything flows into the basin. Now ....looks rather gross rite... a mixture of alot of colours stuff into the basin ....yucks......
 
Ok lah ...before all the girls start to scold me for writing all these.... ok lah ...girls go through alot of trouble to put on makeup and look good. So lah .... u all guys try to appreciate abit lo .... : P
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

First day of work.......lost lost lost

Started work as sales promoter for Hugo Boss fragrances in Paragon today. My 3 day stint as a stand in, parttimer, extrazzzz. Reached orchard rather early, with 20 mins to spare before i start work. First thing when i got there, i noticed to my horror, that i have totally forgotten where the staff entrance is. The last time i worked here was about 3 years ago, and i now have totally no idea. Furthermore, they have renovated paragon.
So i was left wandering floor to floor trying to recall how to get into metro via the staff entrance.
"Its on the 2nd storey.... " said a security guard.
"First storey lah ...." one cleaner said.
" No...no no.....forth storey" another cleaner said.

#$@$%#^^*%^($#$$@!#@$%*%&(^!!!!!!!!!!

In the end after searching for about 20 mins or more i finally found the entrance after calling my supervisor. So its at the 4th storey, that security guard ah .......... anyhow talk rubbish. still tell mi its confirm 2nd storey coz he worked here for some time liao, somemore tell mi dun believe the cleaner who was right. doh!!!

Found the counter and was pretty lost. Another security guard showed mi where the switches for the lights were. And then .......... i realised ..............i am suppose to sell cosmetics as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shit!!!! what is what ...what is this for???????? Why got pencil one ???? this powder put where one???????? and i am colour blind!!!!!!!!!!!

sobzzzzzzzzz

Hey .. before u guys complain that i live like a pig, eat like a pig and sleep like a pig. this is a current photo of my room. All neat and tidy after alot of hard work in packing it up :)

My room is so messy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spent the day packing my room manz......
My room can be soooo messy !!!! I`m naturally an untidy person, but i like neatness....hmmmm what an irony.
Well... basically my table is so cluttered ...i can hardly have any space to write one.
So i rolled up my sleeves, took a deep breathe and start packing. A very tedious process man.....but nevertheless a job well done!!!!

Here is a picture of my room at the worst possible state!!! hahahah
be shocked!


messy right????

Happy birthday ~~

We had the bday cake at the stroke of midnight. Hahaa .. i insisted to meet her the day before her bday so that we can have the bday cake at midnight. I just want to be the first person to wish her Happy birthday. Hmmmmmm......wondered whats her bday wish???
Played around with the candles after eating the cake. After that jus sat there and watched the stars... Tried counting them though....... but seems an impossible task..... duh............... hmmmmmmm i wondered if there are ppl just like us .... at those stars looking at us, just like how we are looking at them now.

Hope i can make it memoriable for her..... as i feel that althought its her birhday, it has been memoriable for me :)

Went to high tea at Royal Plaza hotel later in the day. Talk about eating non-stop man. It was pretty good. The sashimi was nice, the fruit tarts awesome :D

Got her a watch as her bday present. Glad that she liked it. haha.... so the effort put into looking for it has not been wasted. Basically, think this is one of the better looking fossil watches that i saw. The rest just look rather plain. Furthermore, alot of places out of stock already, so i really felt very lucky to have found one of these last few pieces...hahahahahaha.

Went to the suntech city fountains after that. We walked all the way there as we were sooooo full. Walked 3 rounds around the fountains...... made a wish .....hmmmmmm wonder if it will come true not :)
This place is really memorable to me. This is where i first held her hand :P

Once again....


Happy birthday sormui!!!! Really hoped what u have enjoyed yourself today. Must remember the message i wrote in the card hor!! ;)

Driving lessons

YES i am STILL having driving lessons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I`m so bored...so sick of driving lessons.....when will i ever get my goddamned driving license ?!?!?!?!?!?!!? arrrgggh....

Had my first driving lesson in 6 weeks. Ever since i failed my first driving test i have stopped my lessons until now. I don`t see the point of having more lessons... i should have passed the last time!!!!!!! Failed for all the stupid reasons.... failed just because i am a first timer.... failed just because i got the wrong tester..hai........

As usual ... my driving instructor keep on nagging while i am driving .....then mumbles to himself on where i should turn at the next junction. Sometimes i really cannot hear what he is saying as he ALWAYS mumbles!!!!

I must say that drivers here are generally very impatient. They overtake u without even caring whether u are blocking their way anot! They expect u to swerve away from them ....
wah......... too much .....

no wonder there are road accidents.....some people are really way too inconsiderate!!!!

with love comes trust .....with trust comes love.......

Went to Macdonald`s for breakfast. I simply love the hotcakes....ahahha i dunno why ":P
then to Chinese Gardens.... strange place to go right...
eh ... i was curious lah ... last time i went there ...i was very small.
Anyway, it was really quiet there, hardly any visitors except for some lonely tourists, couples there for wedding photographing.

Hmmm .... we took some photos there as well. Played some 5 stones ...basically just looking around.
Its quite a nice place except that this cafe there was blasting some techno music.

Techno music in chinese gardens????? duh.....................

Anyway.... later we went to Far East...argh...this is the 2nd time here this week haahah
but i got to taste the most amazing chicken cutlet ever!!!!
Its located at the basement, its called Shijin chicken cutlet, its a taiwanese dish.
Try it!!! its damn nice .... its seasoned with dunno what pepper lah .... but its nice can liao.

Really enjoyed my day out today :D

I must say that both of us are getting closer and closer everyday and i am really feeling very happy abt this. We have gone through rough patches and weathered throught storms together and i`m really happy that we can pull through all those obstacles and arrive to today.

Sigh.... i am really grateful to have her put up with my shortcomings and be so understanding all these while ...love u lots ;')

I used to think that its with love comes trust.... but over the course of time .... i realised that its actually with trust comes love.
And trust is not sometime that can be acomplished in a day or a month. It takes alot of time, patience, effort and sacrifice. It`s a gradual process of building up trust between 2 parties and only that can we then find true happiness and love.

Hmmmm... sounds very chim ah ...hahaha...
so its with trust comes love which will bring more trust and more love........blah blah
ok ok .... maybe its somethign like the chicken and egg thing .....
shall continue to observe, understand and learn.... :P

It never entered my mind...............

I must say music has a very important role to play in my life. No, i can`t play the piano, can`t read musical scores, can`t compose cannot sing. I say i appreciate music but too bad .....i can`t make my own. Really regretted not picking up music when i was young :(

Anyway recently got hooked on this classical piece .. "it never entered my mind".
It`s piano piece in played by the girl in the movie Windstruck. Er.... strange but its not from the soundtrack, so if u want that song ...let mi noe :)

What struck mi is the simplicity of the melody...... yet so thought provoking.
Its the kinda tune that u listen to, in quiet evenings... on a comfortable crouch... a mood and place to consolidate your thoughts... revive memories................


It never entered my mind.....
that trust don`t come easily, it must be earned slowly bit by bit over a course of time.

It never entered my mind.....
that friendships are very brittle, don`t ever betry their trust, and don`t ever let them betray yours.

It never entered my mind.....
to always treasure your parents, you will never know when they will be gone forever.

It never entered my mind.....
that the things u have said, could cause great hurt to someone else........
better watch your tongue.

It never entered my mind.....
how painful it feels, to miss someone.
and how wonderful it feels to be missed.
paradox.

It never entered my mind.....
how easy is it to take the ones u love for granted.
Don`t ever do that ...for u will regret it later.......

It never entered my mind.....
that love is all about trust, acceptance and sacrifice.

It never entered my mind.....
that all the beauty of the world actually lies in the eyes of the people laughing with you.

It never entered my mind.....
that the soul lies on the heart, and beauty in the mind.

It never entered my mind.....
that we should treasure every present moment for after that it can only exist as memories.

Impossible is nothing!!!

Sigh...... the Greeks won.
But credit should go to them too .... they reallie believed and they succeeded.

Guess that we can learn alot from their spirit.
U might not be the best, yet among the best u can emerge the winner if u are optimistic and really believe in your abilities.

Their victory was really bittersweet as i prefer Portugal to win it.
But it goes to show that life is really unpredictable, do not be complacent simply because u are better......

u`ll never know when a nobody can outdo you and send u to the slums......

So .... hail to the Greeks!!!!!

Impossible is nothing!!!!!!!!1

and to the Portuguese, u lost because u are unlucky.... but the same luck brought u to the finals as well....so take it with grace.

A day out ....sour plums .... tousa bing..... oyster omelette.... 5 stones

Went out with sor mui today ......

First we met at Far East Shopping Centre. She wanted to alter her skirt which is too big for her.

"See lah ... so slim liao still want to diet!!!!!!!!!!!! "

"Yeah...... Finally can find somebody who can alter it for me liao !!!!!!! " she announced cheerfully.
HaHA.......its sometimes so cute that she can be overjoyed by the simplest of things :D

Anyway we were supposed to go to maxwell food centre to have dinner. The last time we passed by there i noticed that there we lotsa yummies around ...so this time i suggested going there to eat till our hearts fill.
Well.............. the problem is ......... along the way, we bought alot of tidbits and finger foods to eat... so by the time we got there we were actually quite full liao .... hahahaha

We ate Ya Kun`s again!!!

I was forced to drink this really disgusting plum juice.... it was a forfiet lah ....that darned minesweeper game. I can`t imagine anyone liking this horrible stuff...its simply disgusting ...hahahahaha really had a hard time finishing it man... and all the while she was like clapping and saying hahaahah .... so nice anot........

PUKE~~~~~...........

Then saw this tousa bing at this japanese bakery shop. Hmmmm... rather strange right, a JAPANESE bakery shop in the middle of Chinatown. Anyway, whats so special about this tousa bing is that it is similar to the one doreamon luvs to eat for his "dian xing"
So we both had one eat and try to understand why doreamon is so in love with this.
Hmmmmm.... not bad :P

Then is was oyster omelette with some tasteless barley drink. Joey said she never eat b4, well its either u hate it or u love it ....she said not bad ....ok then its good ah :D

Haa ... then we saw this 5 stones in a shop and bought it. Went to this table to play.
hahahahaa i think i suck at 5 stones man. Lost to her real bad.

See lah ...still complain table high .... table too high still win me what ........
aiyah ....the 5 stones don`t like me lah ....

Wah...lucky no forfiet ah ...or else i will have to eat some disgusting stuff AGAIN..............

well...... things like ............

preserved mangoes ( the yellow ones in vinegar ) ewwwwwwwww.............. pui pui pui~~~
pizza with the powdered cheese ... smells like shit
youghurt drink .... yucks ..smells like the dustbin
dried persimmon .....argh ....u made me eat 3 on "that day" :P

and the list goes on and on ..............................................

Now waiting for my soccer game to start lah.
Finals man ... hope Portuagal wins.
Greece..... u all go home lah .... kick my fav czech out ...%@#%^$^%&*$%*(^(%$#@!!!!!
but then again .... u sent those arrogant french home .... let them humble themselves!!!

Lets see who wins later.... i`ll say its Portuagal ....!!!!!

Ya Kun Coffeestall

Hmmmm............ the taste of the Ya Kun`s kaya toast lingers in my mind........

It was 4pm and i just finished work. Damn hungry man.... ate lunch at ten fifteen in the morn ...and haven`t eaten anything since then. For most of the afternoon, all i can think of is what to eat later .. LOL.

Anyway, after work i was walking damn fast. Caught a train and alighted at Bishan.
Walked into a very crowded Ya Kun`s, saw a bunch of ppl queueing and joined in.

When its finally my turn..........

" eh ... kaya toast not here lah.....here kopi oni .. Q that side ," an elderly uncle told me.

" Orh........ ok okie...... ," i replied sheepishly. Damn... so hungry liao, now still must go the otherside.

Walked over... hey lucky no queue haha! But i think i must have rejoiced too early ...suddenly an auntie and a young couple came from nowhere and enter the queue, leaving me to be contented at the end of this newly formed queue.

Wah.....too much....$%W#%^$& my stomach protested.

Finally its my turn again and i was greeted by this auntie which flashed me a friendly smile.

"What do u want?"

" 2 kaya toast"

"Ok...nah ...take this no. tag then go outside there wait..later i deliever to u ," she said handing mi a big Obiang red tag with the number 5 on it, much to my horror.

So i stood there in the middle of nowhere, holding this Obiang no.5 tag trying to look inconspicious in the crowded coffeestall with almost no room to stand without blocking someoneelse's way. *sigh*

After a terribily long wait... the auntie emerges from the crowd carrying a little cute brown paper bag with the Ya Kun label and in it...... my precious 2 piece.

YEAH!!!!!! i took the bag and quickly moved out of the crowed hell hole.

I opened the bag and peeped. Ooooh.... toast toasted to golden brown...perfect :)

Took a bite.... sensational..... the crisy warm toast compliments the cool and sweet kaya in it ...not to mention the icy block of butter that is enclosed in it too.....
simply the best........try it to believe it :P

Maybe i was just hungry .... maybe it is really that nice... nevertheless ..i am now hooked to the Ya Kun kaya toast ..haha!!!!!!!!!

So what i did was call sor mui later that night and suggested to go eat it the next day again. To my pleasant surprise she ate the kaya toast today too...haha.....
So we played minesweeper online and again ....i lost ...hai~~~~ this time forfiet is to eat the sour plums...ewwwwww... pui~

But its ok lah ... at first is loser cannot eat Ya Kun tomorrow. Wah that is too much ah ...cannot eat Ya Kun...and still must watch the other person eat..... pure torture........ ok i rather eat that disgusting sour plums.....

kudos to the kaya toast :)
