A Day Without Reflections Is Meaningless

2010-06-18T23:20:00.002+08:00

Hey all !
Woah, certainly there is a lack in updates. But hey, im doing fine and still kicking.
Today I got into a close encounter with a accident due to neligence act of a SBS driver.

I was on a bus @ toa payoh int, where the driver is waiting to turn out of the int. Then, there was another driver reversing his double deck bus out from the lot and my bus was directly behind his. I reckoned he didnt even bother to check his side mirror before reversing out. So on his presumed assumption, he reversed. It was a loud bang before the glass were shattered into bits and I was just 2 seats in front. It was such a close encounter but i'm so thankful that no one was injured.

this world cup has been overwhelming!
It seems i've lost touch from many things.
I've been going out late and coming home in wee hrs before reporting for work the next day.
Average hrs of slp was down to 4hrs.
This world cup has been depressing too, its not football im talking abt. It seems the games are flowing alongside with the bookies. My intuition tells me that this World Cup seems to have been controlled. Bookies, Singapore Pools are making tonnes of money, and you wouldnt want to imagine that. But some matches are really good. GO ARGENTINA !! Thats my take for this World Cup. :)

While watching the matches earlier on, there was this random random thought that crossed my mind.

Women always say this : " It seems that all good guys have extinct !!"

Sounds familiar huh? But if you were to think deeper, what will women do when good guys are right in their presence?
I will leave this qns for yourself to answer.
Guys can never understand girls and Vice versa !!

Contradiction is my only description for them.
Words and Actions are always in CONFLICT !
I'm pretty sick of reading pple's mind, the more I try, the more depressing it is.
I'm done with mind games

Gd night !!!

Cousin Roger & Trisha 's Wedding

2010-06-13T23:55:00.002+08:00

Just came back from my cuzzie's wedding.
Gosh, I wont deny that time flies.

10 years back, Roger kor was some organizing committee of a BB Night's Cycling Trip and together with cuzzie Justin, both of participated and survived the night.

5 years back, if I'm correct, Roger kor was crafting his career path with the Army. So whenever we have house visiting, he never failed to share with us "Ghost" Stories. And Movie Marathon was the highlight during that stage of our lives.

Now 2010, he finally got married, and is ready to spend and commit his life with beloved Trisha. The wedding @ M-Hotel was simple. The whole ceremony started with the prestigious presentation of the Sword Bearers. Suave looking NS men with awesome figure and babyface(proclaimed by mommy) lined up at the aisle, ready to welcome the lovely couple. And emcees for the ceremony make the walk a challenging and a memorable one, extraordinary is the word. There are 3 obstacles.

1) To witness the everlasting love they have for one another:
They are supposed to kiss till we stopped clapping. So the entire kissing moment lasted for 2-3mins, and YES, they went through that easily.

2) To witness intimate bond they have with one another:
They are supposed to sing a DUET. Gosh and everyone stood in awe when their amazing voices filled through the banquet room. They became Superstar OVERNIGHT ! Awsome !!

3) To witness the support both of them shared:
Roger kor have to carry Trisha to the stage. Sounds difficult? ABSOLUTELY NOT MAN !!!

Service was satisfactory and the food, nth to rave abt actually. But the banquet room was cosy and the lighting was soft and warm, so thats the plus point.
There were lots of catching up with relatives and cousins. I love bonding sessions because thats when you get to learn so much from the seniors. I've learnt so much from my uncle, a businessman, single, and have so much experience in this working society. He shared a few points that totally struck me hard. He left me with 2 advises.

1) To have a good PR. Be polite to the people around you, be respectable and never despise anyone. Bring out your true self and never feel intimidated to strike conversation with others. BE YOURSELF !
2) To have guts to try ! I guess this point has proven to have the greatest impact on me. There are so many things I've always wanted to do and I know it will benefit me in the future. But most of the time, I procrastinate due to a few factors.

Companionship - I guess up to this date, I've still not learnt this BIG word " INDEPENDENCE". To be able to attend a course alone, without companions, is not my option at all. So I guess, this factor has imposed a huge barrier from achieving what i really want. I need to do smth abt it.

Worthiness - Would you spend 150 bucks on a new pair of sneakers or will you use that money to upgrade yourself ? That is a qns which I've always struggled when it crossed my mind.

Excuses - Coming home at 7pm almost everyday, do you think I have the time ? Sounds familiar? Simple excuses like this may be a hindrance.

I'm beginning to learn more abt myself, which i think is really necessary and important. Why am I feeling that I just a ordinary person, nth in my portfolio, nth extraordinary, nth to rave abt... The world is progressing, why am I not moving ? This is a qns which I need to constantly ask myself. What am i gonna do in the future ? To be a workaholic who slogs his heart out just to survive in this society OR to be a self driven person who has crafted out a good career for himself? My parents have been really good role models in my life. They deserve a good life when they stepped into their Golden Years. I will make them proud, make them happy.

After NS will be Uni life. Gosh thats when mathematical formulae step into the picture once again! Come to think of it, i have 1 year 2 mths more before I officially served my liability off to the nation. After which, it will be the paramount stage of my life. My rice bowl is dependent on these next 3 years of studies. Either I make it or break it, I need the strength to do it, for my parents, for myself !!

NS will be a great opportunity to upgrade myself. I have to take up courses, to move forward like how this world is progressing. To stay competitive so that I wont lose out to people by a huge margin. Hmm sounds hard, but I need to have the guts to try !

Oops! Seems like I was out of the track. Yeah wedding bells. I wish Roger kor and Trisha will share a blissful and wonderful life ahead of them. It's amazing when 2 strangers of different background, beliefs, principles, strengths, flaws, come together to share their lives as one!

LOVE may be a small word on the appearance, but to this date, many still could not comprehend the real meaning of love and I'm of no exception too. Love makes one blind, to the extend of losing himself, his rights, his beliefs, his principles, his freedom, just to compromise and sacrifice for the other party. Love is complicated, it cant never be defined accurately, NEVER !
Like what my uncle have mentioned, LOVE is not everything. LOVE is not a priority.
But to think of it, wont it be good to have someone to give you the support you've always needed, to know that someone will be there for you when no one else would, to savour the love care concern when you needed it most? This is an undeniable fact when you view human needs in a different light. We humans need to be loved.
I can give pretty good advises to pals regarding love issues but when its my turn, it seems that I sucked at it. I often screwed up things, because when i thought things were going fine, it turned out to be otherwise. I always rationalized things before I made decisions. I always follow my heart instead of considering options provided by people ard me, but time and time again, it was eminently proven that it often got me into a mess! I hate deciphering things, reading pple's thoughts, convincing myself that "hey its ideal to set out with those actions". I've learnt but often i will wavered when certain situations struck me. Call me a wuss, but fuck that, thats me and I will change for the betterment of myself. My love life sucks indeed but hey its not everything. Trust me, when i say I've lost faith, I meant I really did. I lose it all man and i do not need to prove anything...
Alright enough on that, I'm getting pretty sick !

2010-05-31T02:43:00.002+08:00

Companionship or Self centered decision

I should have chosen for the formal.

Sometimes I won't deny this term " action speaks louder than words"
it's easy to say, easy to give promises, easy to say I will nt give up, easy to say I will
commit etc... But when u get dwn to your actions, everything seems to change! When I looked back and compare to this date, it was never easy!! When you've tried but things doesn't seems to change, what does this imply then? It's like you are in an open sea, struggling to reach the shore but was constantly being drifted away by the current. So sometimes in life, it's not how much you've tried, it's not how much effort u are willing to put in. If situation doesn't change, just like if the current remain strong, you will never reach the shoreline!! You may fuck swear and curse this analogy, but If it ever strike a chord with u, this is for you! Definitely I hate this, but I'm trying to accept this.

My focus is slowly shifting. I need to work really hard ( there you go, WORDS of proclaimation) , stay driven and make the best out of life.
I need to be prudent coz I need my camera at the end of this year!!!

I'm feeling nausea now man!! Damn maybe I need kimchi like pregnant ladies need their prunes! Only difference, after 8mths their tummy will be deflated, my unborn has been there for years!! Alright need to really slp now, else I will be really grumpy tmr!! Gd night

I'm missing the companionship....

2010-05-30T22:16:00.003+08:00

Oh man it's HOME ALONE for me today!!
Everyone seems to have their own programmes EXCEPT me, so it's pretty apparent tt I need to find mine too.
Was feeling pretty listless today!! I came back from lunch and slept through the entire afternoon!! So lethargic...

I woke up with sky almost dark.
Called Nua Kia and off we went to cp to settle dinner!!
As usual, once I set on kopitiam, the first stall is always the Korean store!! I wouldn't say the kimchi was fantastic but if it satisfies my craving for sour stuff, why not!! This dinner was pretty rush because nua Kia gotta book in!! After dinner, went to settle my credit card bill! As I'm meeting lk for some mind therapy session ard 10plus, i've realised tt there were still excess time. Would love to chill at starbucks if not for my full stomach! So decided patronise my favourite store, SUPERMARKET!! I could easily kill time at the supermarket. I miss gathering at my place, I will need to plan 1 this sat!! I will whip some food, have some champagne and just chill out!!! Can't wait!!

Now this is a funny encounter I had at Cold Storage!! There was this china man with 3 boxes of cherries on his hand. I caught him at this condom shelf where I believe he was meddling which flavour to get. He looked pretty panicky!! Then he dropped his cherries!! Feeling embarrassed, he swiftly picked all the cherries up and placed them back to the box. All eyes were fixed on him and it was pretty awkward for him.. I could have burst into laughter but I've tried to control.. It's was damn hilarious. Boxes of cherries and cherry-flavoured condoms, sounds kinky huh!! When older generation says tt china is rising up, u better heed tt advice!! Even china man are improving luscious night activities, maybe having theme like cherry night etc... Classic!!

Alright enough of phony baloney for the night.. Tmr is menopause Monday again!!! Time to finish my game and rest for the night!!!
Sweet dreams!!!

2010-05-29T03:45:00.002+08:00

Oh man, today was such a draining day for me, BUT I had FUN !!!
Hit town with buds earlier today, and we pigged out !
Hoping from one place to another just to have really nice food.
And it was fun catching up with one another :)

After town, I've decided to meet Sivachandru Vijayan and clique. It has been a really long time since I last saw them. We hit Le Noir @ Clarke Quay just to chill out. The place was really good and we just had a bottle and some shots to go along with. Le Noir is a small bar, but it does have a small dance floor and the music was pretty good. It's a nice chill out place !

Hmm so whats up for tmr ?
Soccer @ noon and I'm going to this nice beach bar @ Sentosa tmr afternoon after my match. Heard many good reviews and I would love to try smth lil different. So tmr will be another chill out day for me and I would really need to go on Detox on sunday !

Alright, its time to knock out. My head is pretty heavy and I could just snore within minutes !
Gd night peeps !!

2010-05-27T11:09:00.003+08:00

Had fun at Zouk ytd. Celebrated Clare and Chris birthday. Our group was really huge, we had 10 pple in our clique. Music was superb after 2am when Andrew Chow decided to hit the podium to bring some life to the dancefloor. Whats more, the crowd was awesome !! As usual when you club, being pushed around in all directions is inevitable but ytd 3 interesting things happened.

1) A guy with a fucking B.O was dancing around us, he stinks but aint aware of it.

2) A guy wearing a white shirt was dancing vigorously with his clique of girls and he sweat like he just attended a wet tee contest. The annoying thing was, he was dead drunk to even realise that he was wet and neither was he aware of himself leaning on me. No wonder my elbow hurt so much today, I've been nudging pple off, only those who have no party-courtesy.

The last incident which took place was classic and I couldnt take it lying down.

I was with my peeps and this girl walked past me, hit me on the neck, pointed the universal sign and walked off. I was taken aback by her actions, I thought it was someone i knew but I was wrong when the universal sign reveal itself. As you know, the place will usually be packed and crowded, so my presumption was, it could be one of the guys around me who groped her and I was caught to be the goat of mistaken identity, SCAPEGOAT. She walked away too fast, else I will just walk towards her and clarify things out. Such a dumb bitch, just that my shirt is brighter than the others doesnt mean that I more detectable than the rest who will lay my fingers on you...

All in all, I had fun ytd, it was such a release and I needed that badly. Work is stressing me to my ends and I need a breakthrough. I took an urgent half day leave, will report back to work soon, get work done so that at the end of Mon, there will still be sign of life.

I'm struggling with my dreams but I cant stop them from coming. Live with it boy !

2010-05-25T08:45:00.003+08:00

Buenos Dias!!!!

Thank God that I've survived the brutal Monday blues!! Apparently, ytd wasn't my day nor a good day to kickstart the week with. Truckload of work just for me and there were too many stuffs to handle but too lil time. I'm beginning to see the reality of the workforce. Stress level, anger management, OT, beset by superior's demands and expectations etc are beginning to unveil themselves!! I'm thankful to have been posted to SPF, it's just a blessing in disguise.

The weather during this period has been erratic and the heat is causing detrimental harm to my skin. I'm having terrible breakouts and experiencing dryness on the skin. It was then daddy decided to bring me to this specialist ytd. Dr goh is a terrific dermatologist! She've gt 2 clinics, 1 at orchard and the other one at tampines. She prescribed me with so many lotions and gels which I need to strictly adhere to in order to see results. Total bill amounted to $200, it was pricey but if it works wonder, it's definitely worth it.

Hmm it's tue morning!! My long awaited Holis are coming! Can't wait!! I'm set on going batam for a day or 2 to chill out, massage and have a whole day of cable skiing!!! Can't wait, I'm gonna plan out the details and submit the proposals!! Wohoooo it will be fun for sure :)

Now it's time to slog and work dilligently, so as to avoid OT at the end of the day!!

2010-05-23T23:07:00.002+08:00

Just came back from Compasspoint.
Dinner was really different but it was nice being alone actually
As usual, my 1st stall to visit will be the Korean Store
I will usually get 1 bowl of kimchi for myself before thinking of what to have for main
There wasn't much choice, so I've got ban mian..

The best way to eat ban mian is to get the orange chilli sauce and pour it into ur noodles.
Its sour, spicy and appetising and the kimchi complements it
I felt like a pregnant lady who is craving for sour stuffs but thats me, i love my food to be sour !
And I LOVE KIMCHI! Omg i guess i've gotta learn to make my very own kimchi one day and I mean it !!

yeah, visited the bookstore too. Managed to get a scrapbook and some writing materials. I was being inspired to write and I've always practise sensitivity. This blog serves me well but its unable to channel what i'd really want to express, because at the end of the day, it might cause me more problems than convenience. Just like an unpleasant encounter with 2 groups of muslim family ytd who were really callow in their words when they are at fault! I would love to rant, curse and swear but I chose my scrapbook to be the alternative to what I've got to express. So for ytd's entry, string of expletives will be all over the page, and it wont even get me into any trouble.

Alright, I'm all tuckered out !!! time to rest and it will be a LONG LONG WEEKEND this week :)
Good night people !!

Passion Run 2010

2010-05-21T08:35:00.002+08:00

Good morning early birds!!
After having data plan for my phone, I've been fully utilizing it, trying to maximise the excess usage which is impossible to hit. Since I'm on my way to work now, why nt just write. Writing is a form of expression, it helps you to release every form of emotions. I've always been a blog nomad, I find pleasure in reading blogs. Blogs of friends to celebrities, I've loads of it and I've realised something. Most of the blogs I've read, which I've enjoyed reading, are those written in perfect candour. Let's just compare would you rather read a blog full of vitality like xiaxue's or would you rather read a lackluster blog like dawn? It all boils down to your personal objective of having a blog.

I want my blog to be different from this day on.
It shall be a online diary of my own
it will either compliment or offend
you choose to stay or to leave
because at the end of the day
you are just having this honour
to have a sneak peek to my life
I leave the choice to you

this is just a preface to my main entry. I'm alighting soon but I've gt so much to write. I will do it later.

2010-05-20T21:41:00.004+08:00

Being discipline is defined to do something which you don't feeling like doing at all.

I guess my coy commander have indeed defined it well. Being discipline is never easy and it takes alot of motivation and determination to be discipline. In order to be discipline, apart from the contributing factors like determination or perserverance, you will need a goal. You must be sure of what you desire to achieve. You may ask, but that sounds simple isn't it? Yeah precisely that's the point, sometimes in life, we always have this tendacy to overlook the lil things that's smacked right in front of us. And it's due to this fact that often we make the wrong decisions, we became insensitive, we act on what we believes in and the list go on.. If only we are willing to take a step back to spot and recognize the lil details, I'm pretty sure the outcome will be different. And don't be surprise it's all these lil details which form up the big picture. So stop being ignorant and start being observant.

Today have been a draining day for me. Jumped up frm a dream and realised that it was still early. Decided to go for a run before reporting for work. Did a 5.5km run, felt satisfied! Work has been busy, auditing commences on mon, so OT is inevitable. After work I decided to hit my 30laps and i'm gonna share something that utterly disgusted me!!!

Yio chu kang swimming pool was notoriously famed to be a hunting ground for GAYS!! I wouldn't have claimed tt if not for my colleagues who had unpleasant encounters with gays. Today I had a unpleasant experience for myself. When I stepped into the shower room, there were uncles, masculine looking guys sitting on the bench,with nth on and only their eyes were at work. Feeling uncomfortable, I took my leak and left for the pool. Now at the pool, I encountered another freak. This guy swam beside me when I was on my 20th lap. He deliberately kept pace with me and swam beside me throughout my remaining laps. These pple ruined my workout!! I think I will just have to hit the pool again tmr's lunch to avoid the presence of gays. All in all, I didn't felt offensive but was just uncomfortable!

Alright it's 1030pm, I'm nt forcing myself to stay awake. I'm going to hit the sack!! Wohoo gd night pple and TGIF tmr!!

2010-05-19T21:07:00.002+08:00

Fred you sound damn sexy !
Fred you sound damn manly !
Fred I suggest you just allow the Ipod play its song!
Fred what did you do last night...

The best comment of all from my boss; "idiot you better not speak, you sound like a babok (tranny)"
Damn damn hilarious, imagine coming that from my boss.

Was really fortunate to have been posted to my current unit and vocation. I guess the only factor that helps NS pass really fast is your COLLEAGUES and your BOSS ! Your opinion may differ from mine, but to ponder on it, so what if you have the best vocation or a vocation which you enjoyed alot, if your superior are stucked up fellows, there goes your NS life, dull mundane sucky, whatever u call it. I'm glad with mine.

And yeah, this coming Sat is my 25km race. Gosh havent been training for it except some short runs. Hmm I'm looking forward to it and hopefully I will be able to complete it without having to give up. I will go through the finishing line no matter what, even if I have to crawl.. HAHA couldnt be that exaggerating yeah? But at times, shit happens. So Fri will be a pig out day to load up those carbs and prepare for next evening race ! Exciting...

Alright its time to hit the sack, have been feeling really tired these days, at least its good, its keeps my bio-clock function normally. Its swim and tan day tmr, gonna try out my new set of googles.

Time to bid gd night to all of you.. :)

2010-05-19T00:40:00.002+08:00

Love isn't everything
Never allow it to be a hindrance
To a promising future ahead of you
Status means nothing
Compared to the companionship we've shared

Learn to love yourself first
And allow nature to take it's course
Always fight what you want
Don't let this spirit die
But never force your way through
It only leaves you pain

So qiyou
You got to stand firm
Never allow anything to bring you down
You know what is best for you
Stay true to your conviction

Be strong and live life to the fullest
There will a better day to deal with this again

Gd Night!!!

I'm screaming for my dreams to be heard, but I ended up getting hurt

2010-05-18T08:38:00.006+08:00

Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete

Listen to the sound from deep within
Its only beginning to find release

Ohh the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen

Listen!!

I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened

There was someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago
Oh I'm screaming out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed Aside or turned
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen

Listen!!

I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened

I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't

Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start, but I will complete

Now I am done believing you
You don't know not what I am feeling
I'm more than what you've made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me

But now I got to find my own - my own

I do not know how am I going to walk on with my life
The same hard fact shattered my entire being once again
When I tried to climb up from the pit I once fell,
starting to see fresh new hopes which I once held,
I was being pushed back to the same pit again.

I am now all alone
Alone to deal with this ordeal

No one feel for me,
No one can feel what I'm feeling,
No one can understand the torment I bring upon myself,
No one can understand how much u meant to me,
No one can give me the advises I need,
No one can tell me what to do,
NO ONE !!!

Its painful, really painful.
All these while, I've been waiting, thinking that determination and perseverance will pay it off but lest did i know that it doesn't even touched u at all. Not even a single bit, but still it's your rightful decision which i respect. I could just blame myself for risking this opportunity because I thought that the outcome will be different. I was wrong about it, my self-centeredness destroyed me, my feelings deceived me, my over-confidence duped me, I felt like a foolish lil kid whom choose to stay in the Q to buy myself some candies when the shop owner said all candies have been sold out.

All in all, its the mutual feelings that both parties must have for one another to make things work out. When one dont have it for another party, there is no way love will be reciprocated even though how hard you tried, how many grueling years you've been waiting, the sacrifices you've made, IT JUST MEAN NOTHING when feelings' not there. So get it right, retarded boy !

Rationalizing and following your heart, which one will you choose. Both are equally important.

By rationalizing on details alone wont give you the conviction to your decision. You may think this guy possesses the qualities which you may think are contributing factors of being a ideal partner, but then in then if the heart doesnt follow the flow, it means nothing.

By following your heart alone, you are pursuing for what you want, not what you need. It's definitely easy to commit when you have this strong conviction in your heart, no doubts. But if you step into a r/s solely based on ur heart's calling, does that also mean that once the conviction of ur heart dies down, so does the level of commitment ? So what will the final outcome be then? Without rationalizing, you are exposing urself to 2 sides of a coin, either you will be happy or you will end up getting hurt. There are risk involved.

But if you could blend rationalization and the conviction of your heart, wouldn't you be getting the upperhand of the decision you are going to make? At least the risk level is capped at its minimum.

I don't understand, neither will i probe further.
I told myself, I wont allow friendship to be the stake on the table.
If I make it, it will be good.
But if i break it, I still need to preserve the friendship because I cherish it.
I cant imagine casting you out of my life, that's impossible.
Neither will i continue to live in my own world of denial,
I gotta burst every bubbles of hope to save me from all this torment.

I need time to regain my sanity
I need time to think things through
I need time to be who I really am
I need time to deal with the aftershocks
I need time....

How does it feels when u want a limited edition doll so badly and this unappreciative guy before you bought it, keep it and then dumped right in front of you, without feeling bothered at all when it meant something precious to you?

I will walk with me this emptiness of my heart whom no one can fill, throughout the days of my life.
I may achieve what I want in life, I may be the one to excel in my studies and craft a good career for myself, I may be the one who feels that I've got everything, BUT if this emptiness has not been filled up, everything else seems so futile and meaningless.

I'll try for my own good.....

I'm screaming for my dreams to be heard, but I ended up getting hurt

2010-05-17T00:12:00.002+08:00

To take or not to take ?
Whatever it is, I will follow my heart

Gd night people !

PIG NIC

2010-05-15T20:38:00.003+08:00

Went picnic earlier on.

Weather was perfect,

Food was great,

Partner is marvellous.

Had our postponed picnic at this mystery place which isnt mysterious anymore after she flipped my Safari and saw " Singapore Botanic Garden" We went Giant ytd to buy some groceries for the long awaited picnic. We had Chicken Mushroom Salad, Egg Turkey Mayo Sandwich and some snacks along the way.

Apparently, we had Ant Attack. those annoying pests are crawling on our mats, my cooler etc and w/o a shadow of a doubt, their fate was decided by our Highness Hannah. She flickered them, squashed them and fatally killed them, but they deserve it tho. haha

So that girl, look some some neoprints which has 7 yrs of history. I was flabbergasted to have seen with my own eyes some pics of her and her close friends. OMG, I do not know how to react, as if my life stopped for a sec. I was taken aback, seriously. But at the same time, it was hilarious, I should have stole a couple of them. yeah anyway, we had a great time, sharing and chatting abt everything, tho she did most of the talking, which is pretty obvious,given her personality, and i was gobbling down the food ALONE ! haha, I chanced upon some cute letters written by her previous beau. I didnt know she was so alluring, but not to be mean, she was and still is !!

*better be nice to me hannah :)

She brought me laughter when reading those letters, OMG i wouldnt believe if there's any boy who courts a girl this way, " Can i STEAD with you? "

I will faint immediately !!

It was indeed a good day and I looked forward to the next rendevous on Mon, you busy lady !

PS: For all the underserving pain that you've been thru, he is not worth your tears. You make the choice, you work towards it. No one can rush you, because once its over, IT'S OVER FOR GOOD ! DO IT GIRL, because YOU CAN !

a penny for your thought ?

What does your intuition tells you ?

I believe this qns function as a link-way between a root cause of a problem and a resolution to a problem.
Typically speaking, if you are being caught in a middle where you have to make a decision, do you give a blank check to your peers regarding the decision you've gotta take or do you follow your own intuition?
This is a question which is unavoidable and you have to make a firm stand because if you don't, your flicker-mindedness nature may just sentenced you to a much heavier penalty. You will be distress over trivial issues which may seems to be taking a toll on your life. You will be emotionally distress over NOTHING.
Ultimately, its you who is bearing the cost of this hefty price, not Joshua nor Samantha.

In conclusion, you make the decision and take a leap of faith because you will never go wrong.

*this entry is just out of a blue, just a random thought, yet something worth pondering abt :)

This period of time, many things flooded my mind, too much stuffs for my pea-sized brain.
What do i wana accomplished during this stage of my life?

I want to do so many things, but I need to have priorities ! Beside the usual aspiration of wanting to lose weight and build a healthy life for myself, I think I want to achieve more. I would want to assign this time to shape up not only my physique but my character. I would deny that I have flaws, everyone does right? But I would love to have exposure and learning trips, to see human lives out of our perspective, so that I'm able to appreciate and cherish the mustard seeds in lives. Backpacking came into my thought, and I really hope I will step out of my comfort zone, be independent and courageous to take this opportunity to visit countries like Vietnam, Philippines or Indonesia. I hope once I'm set on this, I will go all out for it, do it and accomplished it!

Yeah this has been bothering me and it definitely feels good after writing down those thoughts.

So if you happen to see a blogger whose blog is so productive, up to 3 entries per day, you will understand why. Ahem, hannah is that you ? HAHA !!!

I feel really good now !

OH OH and its MOMMY's Day!!! Wishing all the mommies in the world to be blessed with good health ! You are noble more than anyone !

LOVE YOU MOMMY !!!!!!!

GOTTA RUSH FOR MY FINALS. ITS 11pm, GOSH REFEREE VAIT FOR ME !!!!

Alright cya guys :)

Weekend has come and gone again!

2010-05-03T03:22:00.003+08:00

I think I should have skipped the tea and the super duper long nap in the afternoon!!
Damn it's making me so energetic and hyper now!!
I need my slp seriously, but I guess I will end up tossing ard w/o catching a wink.

Today was such an eventful day. Started my day shopping ar ikea, courts and giant with my angels!
I wanted to hunt for pinic mat and this particular ikea boy brought me to a section tt sells floor mat which cost 99 bucks. Maybe he's just to busy to entertainment but this kind of svc totally pisses me off! Alright nvm abt tt, so my mom and sis gt their curtains and were both jubilated whereas I just gt myself some snacks from ikea food!!!
Next we proceeded to courts. I took this golden opportunity to ask mommy get me the electronic beater which we can both use. She bought it so willingly, so I guess it's time to get my hands on the flour and sugar whenever time permits!

Finally we went giant just to replenish food supply for our home! I enjoyed spending time at hypermarts!! Except for food, which is my weakest link, there are so many things to look out for at giant!!

After 3hrs of shopping, daddy fetch us home. Took a 4hr nap before waking up for dinner at cp with sis.
Went to serangoon to get the dopest durian puffs then dropped by to irritate hannah!! As usual tt poor girl gotta study for her exam, final paper and the toughest paper! Mine will smack me hard right after NS so I really need to recap and study soon!! So after chatting, rushed straight to catch my flight because I have a match af 11pm.
Woah frankly speaking, berbatov sucks big time!! He terribly useless and worthless! Man u may consider buying a bangaladesh along the road to score goals. Berbatov is such a useless bum!

After the match, did not join the rest for supper! I need to cut down on my calories and just train doubly hard to shed those stubborn fats! Tt reminds me tt I need to swim rme since I'm coughing profusely and is unable go run !! So tmr lunch will be swimming for me!

Hmm I'm beginning to feel slpy now. Blogging on the mobile seems to help. Alright slpy bugs eating me up, I need my slp coz it will be a long day tmr!! Damn, pms tendacy in the morn again!!! Argh...

Time to slp, gd night!!!

2010-05-02T02:38:00.002+08:00

The 2 hottest movies, Ip Man 2 and Iron Man were released on the huge screens just few days back. Just a short review for both movies. Ip man 2 was one of a kind. Very thrilling, not draggy and yet a lil emotional. So get ur tissues rdy! But pls don't get me wrong, this is not an entirely emotional movie. It wasn't deprived of the fighting scenes which I believe were highly anticipated by the movie goers. A MUST watch movie!!

Caught iron man 2 with hannah last night. Being one of the hottest movie, there weren't slots available except the last one @ 1am. So we gt the tics and decided to just chill at the rooftop park. Ok now the review: I thought it wasn't as fantastic as the 1st one. I find it abit draggy but nonethless it's still a movie which is worth watching.. And yeah, we stayed till the cast n credits were screened and it's pretty obvious tt there's gonna be iron man 3. I guess it's still in the pipeline!! Oh yeah, rmber to get the ironman combo because the fingerine is super cool!

Alright time to slp, I haven't had a nice long slp yet n I'm typing this entry on my phone, half dazed with high tendacy to just fall aslp anytime. So pardon my language!! Gotta go, cya!!

Fragility of our lives

2010-04-10T23:56:00.002+08:00

How can even one ever perceived the fragility of his life?

Or rather how does it feel when u are taking a nap and the next moment, someone nudge you up and told you " Uncle suffered a fall and may go anytime !" ?

I guess this is something really hard for me to accept when my sis broke this news to me earlier on. My uncle suffered a simple fall, just by mopping the fall, he accidentally slipped and fall. I guess he could have landed on his head and thus suffered from severe head injuries. Doc diagnosed his situation and declared that he is brain dead.

OMG !

this caught me too sudden, I'm unable to accept this fact !!

the last time I saw him was CNY and now, doc advised us 2 options:
1) Prepare for his funeral
2) Operation which has 50% chance of survival. But even if he were to pass through the op, he will be a vegetable. Which means, he gotta be fed through tubes and be solely dependant on the brain interpreter device for simple communication.

OH DAMN, this isnt a million dollar qns, but to think of it, its seems like it's only 1 option that the doc is feeding us with.

Everyone is disconsolately remorsed but we have to stand strong to give the support which my aunt and cousin need at this point of time.

Down to my memory lane:

You were a generous guy
Never self centred
When we were younger
You pamperd us like princes and princesses
Toys and Macdonalds
You gave it all to us
Uncle you loved us so much
That we cant never repay
Now that you are gone
Memories are what you have left behind

Love you Uncle

This reality smacked me hard on the face.
I have been thinking of something, aside from comparing others per se.
Is this a reminder from above ?
I have been constantly reminded repeatedly about cherishing lives and loved ones. this has been eminently proven by my blogposts, or even my simple shoutouts on FB. I have been wondering, if we turned the table around, and I happened to be the one of the victims of this incident, will I be living the rest of my life with remorse and regrets?

Why perfect your life when you are overlooking the lil things in life ?
Why attempt so hard to draft up a checklist for yourself when you are vividly conscious that you have no control over it?
Why good moments do not last?
WHY WHY WHY !!!

Why must adam be tempted to take that fruit from that particular tree and eat it ?

I'm very firm with this, " the best way to live life is to live it in full SIMPLICITY"

why complicate things up?
where are your priorities?

the overflowing of "WHYs" is choking me up ! I do not want to regret when my turn comes, so I need to really start to learn to cherish, to cherish the lil things which I thought may be of insignificance.

alright, there are so many things to talk abt but.... nvm will touch on it some other time.

Gd night !!

Sumptuous Dinner

2010-03-25T22:52:00.002+08:00

Just came back from Clarke Quay after having a awesome dinner @ Peony Jade Restaurant.
I've heard so much about this renowned chinese restaurant, in forums, blogs, magazines and even my food bible, THE MAKANSUTRA FOOD GUIDE!! My uncertainty was reaffirmed when I was warmly welcomed by the medals and trophies which were displayed on a antique shelf at the entrance ! They've won quite a number of awards and the most recent one was 2009, so I'm pretty convinced that the food MUST be really GOOD !

CANT WAIT TO SAVOUR THEM ALL !!!

The price wasn't that exorbitant to what I've expected considering the fact that the dishes served were all mouth-watering ! What we had were fish maw soup, steam fish, soft shell crab w/ floss, pork rib, broccoli, perking duck wrapped in crepe, pork belly, fried rice and lastly dessert.

I should really consider myself fortunate to have really good superiors and boss! I often questioned myself, " Am I serving my NS?"
Apart from the pathetic pay, I guess I felt almost like a civilian holding a part time job. I was given the welfare that I needed and most importantly, I'm treated like everybody else, RESPECT !
My boss and supervisors treat me like some one of their own, we cracked jokes, we burst into laughter, we slog, we chill..... I guess there is no reason why I should be complaining anything about work.

I felt a lil paiseh that I've been getting free meals. 1st was Soup Restaurant, then tony roma, buffet lunch and now peony restaurant. OMG !!! Who gets such treatment? I guess its only me !

I always believe in this: " when people treat you good, you must not disappoint them", this is one of my core motto which I carry with me since young. People who know me well will know this, I never disappoint my teachers, my close friends or anybody whom gives me the respect I deserve, the faith in me and the effort in grooming me. Not forgetting my parents who always gives me my freewill choices, they don't instill what they think it's right for me but allowing me to decide what is right for myself. I guess they got the right formula in bringing up a kid, and I'm proud of them ! I will work hard and make them proud !!

Hmm its time for shower..
Need to really catch up with my sleep and look forward to the weekends !!!
Alright gd night peeps !!!

Eventful weekend

2010-03-22T00:16:00.002+08:00

Just back from liquid kitchen @ Serangoon Gardens!
Had a great time catching 2 hot favourites teams, man u & Liverpool, heading on one another!
Coupled with a pint of erdinger beer and some snacks to spice up the atmosphere. What more can you ask for, it's just HEAVENLY!!
The entire 90mins was just so amazingly thrilling!! 2 teams played their best but sometimes shit happens, so Liverpool fans out there don't be dismayed, do it again next season...
I now declare that liquid kitchen has topped my "Night's Hangout Places". I am really fond of their cosy ambience and excellent service except for 1 staff which I thought he shld be forgiven, perhaps he is new! Nonetheless I would still like to share this:

Uncle:may I take ur order?
Me: yes pls! I would like to have spicy drumlets, wedges...
Uncle: ok sure, anything else?
Me: oh wait!! (mumble to my buddies if we shld take the platter)
Uncle: you shld try the platter, it's nice and is more than enough for 4pax. You may skip the drumlets & wedges because it's too much!!
Me: hmmmmm... So what's in the platter??
Uncle: OHHH!!! There are MANY MANY things inside..
Me: (I paused and thought if he is going to mention what exactly are in the platter )
*after few seconds, after a silent pause*
Uncle: ohhh the platter got topshell, wedges, spring rolls and a few more, ard 6 dishes la..
Me: (feeling agitated ) alright, give me the platter and cancel my other orders!

All of us felt cheated when platter was served! There are only 5 cheesesticks, 5 springrolls, half serving of wedges, topshell salad and 4 drumlets! It cost us 39 for goodness sake, it's too exorbitant!! ** this happened to our 1st visit last night !
Today we wised up and order ala carte which has a bigger portion and it's definitely cheaper!! I still don't blame the uncle, apart from his blunders, I thought he was okay!

*** Cognitive dissonance***
alright tmr it's another working day and I need to slog hard to chill hard during weekends!! I nned to chill wisely too, and to be frugal until my next pay, to remain driven to save up for my 4k dslr and my Korea trip next winter!!! Buck up Fred!!!!

I'm sleepy esp after drinking, time to hit the sack!!
Gd night peeps!!!

I've made it !

2010-03-14T21:38:00.003+08:00

Started the day off with 16km run,organized by North-East CDC, at Paris Ris Park early in the morning with my buddy ! I snoozed my way through (as usual) even though I've set 3 alarm timings on my iphone. Reason being, the night before, we had mj till 2.30am despite knowing the fact that we gotta wake up by 5.30am and leave hse by 6.15am to reach just in time for the Flag off @ 6.30am. Eventually, we were late, 11mins late to be exact. We had no time for proper stretching and result our muscles to be cramped up and stiff after the entire race. This run was really good. I started the run sluggishly but I end it well. I was personally satisfied to have completed the entire race and the next race up for me will be the 25km run held next May. Will be looking forward to it but at the same time, I need to train really hard for it.

Had a fructuous day today !!

Oh yeah, it was my BIRTHDAY yesterday !! haha, I'm realizing that i'm not young anymore! Gosh, 22nd birthday ! Anyway tnks to all who has sent me their bday greetings thru sms or fb comments, it was really heartening to have received those greetings and wishes. Not forgetting the prezzies too !! Thank you so much. This birthday was made simple, just a good dinner with friends and family. Will upload the pics, junwei took at Mellben Seafood Restaurant, which offers one of the best CRABS in Singapore.. YUMMY !!

Finally, the compilation of pics I took over at Night Safari that night. I took more videos than pics actually due the the low light environment.That reminds me that I need to remain driven to save $$ to get my DSLR during the middle of the year !! HAHA, its a whopping 3k but im sure its a good investment !

Time to hit the sack, its monday again ! DAMN IT, but nonetheless, gotta stay positive.

Great night peeps !

2010-03-12T00:27:00.003+08:00

Just back from the Night Safari with my family. It was awesome but at the same time tiring. I shall do the updates tmr if I have the time coz I'm really lethargic now !!
Good Night peeps !

those days

2010-03-10T00:17:00.002+08:00

Today is yet another mundane day. I shall not lament anything on work today, its just the same things I do over and over again. Yeah, I received a good news today, I'm tasked to join a team for patrolling. It's a once per week commitment but nonetheless I'm still pretty excited and have been always looking forward to it !

Basically there are 3 important roles:
1) Escort accused to Court
2) Escort accused to Hospital to receive the necessary treatment
3) Patrolling

WOAH !! I just can't wait for that day to come.

Chasing suspect, pin him down, execute a wrist lock on him, cuff him and bring him back.............

** WAKE UP** woah that was a melodramatic thought that caught me too sudden. On second thought,I felt anything may happen anytime. Shall not elaborate too much on that else this entry will eat 2hr of my time and I should invest more on my sleep instead. I've been slping less than 6 hrs per night, waking up like a zombie with horrendous-looking dark circles and a somber mood. A terrible way to start the day with.

check out this video man. Woah it reminisce us of those days when we are much much younger, doesn't it ? Era is always changing, and so do us. Most of our choices and perceptions change over time. I remembered buying ORIGINAL CDs of backstreet boys, westlife, S Club 7 from CD Rama. Times changed and all you need is just a right URL and you will get your songs in just a click away. HAHA, "uphold the law". oops !!!!

TIME WAIT FOR NO MAN

This video serves as a strong caveat that, time will pass you by that swiftly even before you realised it. I believed the last time I heard this song was at least 6 - 7 years back. So I would like to encourage, in order to avoid disappointments and regrets in life, do what you aspire to do. Do not reach a stage in life where you regret for not doing that particular thing that you have always wanted to do.

I'm tired, time to hit the sack !!
Gd Night !!!

What's your Aspiration ?

2010-03-08T22:10:00.003+08:00

Today, I was terribly infected with the "Monday Blues" Syndrome. That usually happens after a well-deserving weekend, and the next moment you realized there are piles and piles of shit waiting for you on ur desk on Monday morning. To palliate the raging emotions which were swirling within myself, I chose to take things one at a time, doing it at my own pace.

This is how you may want to deal with such situations which you commonly encounter:
1) Go to the cafeteria. 2 slices of bread and a hot pipping cup of tea just do wonders.
2) Take a breather at intervals so that you do not overstretch yourself and putter your time away.
3) Stock up healthy snacks like nuts, dark chocolate or fruit bar to munch on.
4) Grinding away at your job may not give you the edge u think you will. Reserve 20mins to sit quietly with your eyes closed, away from any stimulus. By doing that, you are giving ur brain a breather from the non stop processing.

Most importantly, complete what is of you by the end of the day, because tmr has its own workload and problems.

Oh, and today I had an interesting conversational topic with one my colleague. We were sharing abt ASPIRATION. The word itself is too big alone, i guess what matter most is not merely just sharing abt what your aspiration is but to work towards it through actions. Easier said than done.

My aspiration has always been to be a Pilot. It is my passion which has been developed along the years and is still burning intensely within me. I remembered when I was younger, the 1st place which I would usually pestered my parents to take me to when we visited the airport was the " Viewing Gallery". It thrills me,even up to this date, to see a huge giant bird above my head. And during the setbacks of my life, the 1st place to take refuge from all the pessimism, was the airport. I recollected that at one incident, I had a really bad quarrel with my parents and I decided to spend my night at the airport. I guess this shows the great connection between me and the airport.

Alright back to the term "Action speaks louder than Words". This term triggered me in the midst of conversation i had with my colleague. I have been ruminating; "what have i done to work towards my aspiration?" ; and I was intrigued with the answer which I have been holding on all this while.

"By reading books on aviation occasionally, watching videos on YouTube, or flying the flight simulator wasn't sufficient" i thought viscerally.
Though you are right in saying that, these are simple and small actions, but hey CONSISTENCY is the gist of it.
Here is a simple mathematical expression:

COMPLACENCY = LACK OF CONSISTENCY

We shouldn't be resting on laurels. If you think you are good enough, why not challenge urself to a higher level?
This ignite a spark in me and I'm determined to go all out to fulfill what I really want to see myself 5-8 yrs down the road. I got all my guides on aviation printed out, credit goes to FAA, and I think it's time to read up.
Last but not least, before i even end my lengthy entry, i shall leave you a quote from the bible:

"its not how u start that matters, but how you end"

my blog says : " I'm alive yet again"

2010-03-07T22:11:00.002+08:00

Formerly it was left on the shelves for a couple of days and I thought it wasn't an issue
Subsequently, it was left to collect layers and layers of dust due to irregularities, and i thought all i needed to do was just to clear the cobwebs.
BUT now, I just realized a resuscitation was needed.
I've gone through a gruesome battle against time, to bring my blog back to life.

I took me 4hrs of my time and my inquisitive mind to refresh myself with the complexities of HTML. Handling codes and HTML used to be my forte but not anymore, I guess the term "Practice makes Perfect" has to be improvised and set in place.

Alright, i think i should start blogging tmr, cause i lack inspiration now !!!

a lesson learnt

2009-06-04T00:27:00.002+08:00

"CAPSIZED CAPPP....." before I could even finished the word, I was down in the sea.
Telvin came on with his kayak, paddling hard to reach towards me. All that came to his mind was the T-rescue which we picked up during our 1 Star Course few months back. Instead of being thankful, out of sheer mischievous, I capsized his kayak too. Both of us were down in the water with our only means of survival, our FLOATING DEVICE.

We were trying really hard to execute the TX rescue but to no avail due to our inconsistencies in practicing our strokes and etc... There was a modicum of faith in our hearts that we will reach the shore safely unless someone saw us and rescue us. The thought of giving up rescue and swim back to shore with our capsized kayak strucked telvin. To do a quick estimation of where we are exactly, I confronted him sternly that we gotta carry on with our rescue. Because we are being drifted away too far from the shore, even behind the last Kelong that was on the sea. We couldn't believe our eyes at that time. So we kept trying till we are up on our kayak.

Life is just filled with ambiguities.

It is never predictable like you have always imagined. Never paint too much colours in life, do not try to perfect the painting over and over again, what is paramount is that you cherish the loved ones around you and be contented with what you own. That is life, people who have hurt you or let you down, do not dwell upon it, its time to move on ! There is a saying, " Let bygones be bygones", what has happened had already happened, opened wounds will leave a scar behind, this scar is not to remind you of the unpleasant but to teach you how to be more weary and ultimately avoid the same incident from happening. Look ahead and see what this life may offer you instead !

A single kayaking experience taught me several lessons which I'm ignorant of.

Turning Point ?

2009-05-30T17:36:00.002+08:00

I've got a new baby, the Asics T914N GEL 1140 0193. It is a pair of middle sole support shoe, which means extra cushioning on the middle of the shoe. I've tested it on my run earlier on and it feels AWESOME ! I'm sure that this shoe will gonna journey with me the minor transformation in my life. Whenever i do not feel like running, i am going to fix my eyes upon this shoe, knowing its capabilities and its ability to be my driving force to motivate me even more to run.

Time wait for no man !

Why not just continue to place ur focus on the things you desire to do and JUST DO IT !

Nothing can be your obstacle unless you let it be your obstacle !

Alright, I begin to see some light in this darkness. By actualizing the fact that " actions speaks louder than words" has proven to be the remedy to your problems. So hesitate no more and start taking the 1st step.

Update on the Meet the people session, ytd was the 5th friday and the MP is only down on the 1st,2nd and 4th fri, me and my dad were quite confused by it and I really hope to meet him next fri unless you are telling me there is a 6th FRI. I will be banging myself to the wall !!!!

I need a time off from all these worries, gotta catch the shuttle to church for miracle service.

Peace to all of you !

2009-05-29T13:15:00.001+08:00

IM OFF TO QUEENSWAY TO GET A PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES !!!

Highlight of today:
Meet MP for the people's session. Mr Teo, you better be there and don't keep me waiting !

missing but found

2009-05-29T01:24:00.003+08:00

Blogging which serves an avenue for self-expression has been sloughed off by my very own signature and intolerable laziness. I foresee that if this habit of mine is to go on like this, my life will be ruined for sure. Opportunities will gradually slipped away from me and ultimately I will achieve nothing. I could still vividly recalled the "old" me, so full of drive, motivation and determination, I know what i want and I make sure I go for it and GET IT. But now, it seems that i'm losing it.

Where is my discipline?

Indeed, self discipline is an elusive attribute. Without a shadow of a doubt, SELF-DISCIPLINE is not just found in him, or her, BUT it's in YOU TOO! Like what one of my teacher told me, its hidden behind layers of procrastination !

Sometimes, it is good to take a step back, reflect on it, and finally plan something out of it. It is these lil self reflections that we always missed out which leads us on the wrong route.

Life has really been mundane for me. The thought of being enlisted in OCT has been really devastating enough. Furthermore, the devastation was amplified even more when I was told to report to HOME TEAM ACADEMY instead of BMTC school 1/2.

Others may mock me, laugh at me or even pass down crude comments to me, but these doesn't blind me for what i really want out of my 2years NS life. What i asked for is to be in the field which is much challenging and eye-opening. What do you get out of it if you were being asked to do some lil administrative work, patrolling ard the neighbour and etc... Some may desire easy and slacking vocation like this, but what do you really gain? Ask yourself before you even comment and try to brainwash me with your stand. I dont't know whats into me but this issue has been constantly bothering me, giving me unpleasant and sleepless nights. I do really hope that our defence minister, whom I will be approaching in awhile, will see beyond what i really want. I do not want to be mocked and laughed by people, it is over the limits and it is weighing my entire being down.

I am going to prove to them that I can do it !

I think im done with my ranting! Things will not change the way you expect if by grumbling, ranting or whining, you want to see a change, DO IT ! I am contended that my blog has been a ideal platform to pour out the negativity in me.

I just want you and you ALONE.

Next up : My 21st

2009-03-03T01:42:00.001+08:00

Okay i'm finally done with my tertiary life at Ngee Ann poly. I can honestly proclaim that i didnt waste my time here. There were awesome friends, lecturers facilities and etc... The only thing im so gonna miss will be the good times I had with my mates. Seriously, come to think of it, i should have cherish the good times we had in the campus. Anyway, the bottomline is, just leave the unpleasant behind, bring with you only the fond memories. Next phase will the my service to the nation. The 2 years ahead wont be easy but when discipline and strong will power comes into place, nothing hinders you from excelling. After NS will be Uni, i've applied for both NUS and NTU, hmm just hope that im given a course of either Uni.

Alright the next big thing will be my early 21st birthday celebration. Gosh it will be a big event, i will be expecting 100 guests with sumptuous dinner, never ending booze, humongous cake ....

Will be really tied up with planning and preparation, so please if you wana look for me, just give me a buzz till I return a call ! Next, i have always been bombarded with a qns :

Hey what do you really want for your birthday?
Hey name me a item for your birthday gift.

Yeah. Seriously i do not have a habit of writing what i want for a birthday. Since so many have troubled souls yet lovable souls have popped me with the same qns, I'm going against my usual self to write the gift list. This is the 1st gift list I've written and i hope not to write it ever again. haha, just feel weird writing it down.

Okay enough on that. Your presence is impt, so please be there by 6pm yeah. Hope to see all of you there.

i need slp now. Gd night peeps.

CNY DAY 1

2009-01-27T04:36:00.002+08:00

1st day of new year was great. This year was a special one I should say. My aunt actually booked a chalet at Changi Safra and all of us just gathered there as a family. I should really compliment on the new look of the chalets. It used to be a wooden looking bungalow, until they revamped it to because a glass house! Im serious! You are able to look into other people's chalet, but of course there are curtains! We gambled, do alot of catching up, play lumber ball and etc...

Everything seems perfect until we decided to catch this movie by Jack Neo, LOVE MATTERS

Before I even start to comment on the movie, here is my rating: 2/5
This movie is seriously terrible and this is indeed a terrible movie to start with during this year. Even though I detest horror movies, or cartoons, I would rather watch them than this sucky movie!

Basically this movie has no storyline !
This movie does not convey any message (unlike other Jack Neo's productions)
This movie is so lengthy and is full of crap, so baseless and senseless !

Whats more, I heard people snoring so loudly in the middle of the movie. This proofs I aint blabbering and trying all means to bring this movie down but seriously, im totally disappointed with the quality of this movie!

It has always been a green go to Jack Neo's movie but this experience I had has certainly made me reconsider whether to watch his future productions again. I swear when my sis asked me if I will be interested to catch the Fann wong's movie, I said NO without a moment of hesitation!

Please do not give me a false impression of local productions, work hard on it man!

Tmr is another long day of visitation. Gonna catch a good slp now man, pics will be posted up soon!

ZONE OUT !

HUAT AR !

Lunar New Year = Yu Sheng

Yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.

It is served as an appetizer to raise 'good luck' for the new year.In a celebration known as "lo hei" (Cantonese 撈起 or 捞起), families and friends gather around the table and, on cue, proceed to toss the shredded ingredients into the air with chopsticks while saying auspicious wishes out loud to mark the start of a prosperous new year and it's customary that the higher you toss, the greater your fortunes!

Yesterday, all 5 of us were dressed in RED and we gathered around the table for our reunion dinner. It has been a long time since we really sit down together to have dinner. All of us were busy with our own stuffs on the rest of the days.
Back to the tossing of the Yu Sheng, the hilarious thing was that, my dad, sis, bro and I have to echo after what my mom says. This is because of the fact that my mom's mandarin is better than the rest of us. So the 4 of us have echo some like parrots from the Bird Park. So we were happily shouting those auspicious wishes while tossing the yu sheng.
The yu sheng from Sushi Teh is really worth buying. The portion is really huge and they have a myriad of ingredients, like scallops, jellyfish and etc...
The yu sheng, which was only meant to be an appetiser, hit all 5 of us down that our stomach have no room for the main dishes!!!

Then all of us were sitting patiently on the couch to do a countdown. All the lights in our house were on and the windows and doors are all opened ! When the clock stoke 12mn, we were like screaming and dancing in the living room! haha, if only I took a video it !

Received the very 1st two ang baos from my parents, then off I went to my bedroom to hit the sack. Was sooo exhausted man!

Later will be a really long day. My aunt is hosting this celebration at Changi Safra. So All of the families will be gathering there.

Interestingly, CNY = Gambling

I am just gonna play small this year, hope I wont get too obsessed by it. Every year its always like that. At the end of the day when my siblings and I sit together to count the ang bao $, I realized I am always the one with lesser $. It is plainly because I always dig out $ in the toilet to gamble. haha

Alright, I better not get too lengthy. I hereby wish all of you guys a happy and prosperous NIU year !

More than words...

GONG XI FA CAI

Time has certainly pass us within a blink of an eye.
Its the Lunar New year again !

Last year has indeed been a tough year for everyone of us.
Natural Calamities, Terrorism, Conflict among nations, Economic Downturn etc...
As we embrace year 2009, lets hope that love continue to reigns in our lives !
A meaningful quote which I've chanced upon :
"Conflict is like cancer, early detection and treatment ensure health is being restored"
Though many speculate and confirmed that the next 2 years will be challenging, let's just hope that we will smoke this period of bad times cheerfully, with positive self-motivation and insights of what is going to come.
Some of us are graduating, some studying, some even are entering to the working society, some waiting to serve the nation.
No matter what it is, just enjoy what you are doing.

I know this blog of mine is once dead but now ALIVE AND KICKING !
All thanks to this festive season which supply me with some extra time which i can kill for my personal stuff like blogging.

Spring Cleaning is something which cannot be missed during this season, so likewise, I'm here to do some clearing of cobwebs!

Below are just some of the images which I took during the month of Dec and Jan.
There are more pics in my folder, but I will just post some of the more interesting events which took place over the last few mths.

POLY FRIENDS CAME AND GOT TIPSY
We had a class BBQ earlier on and 3 of them decided to come over to my house to drink !
2 of them seldom drink therefore they got really HYPED UP after a couple of shots.
They ended up on my bed and left me to sleep on the freezing cold marble floor !
PRICKS !

DADDY'S BIRTHDAY
It's daddy birthday once again !
We went to Soup Restaurant for dinner, then got back to cut cake together.
May good health and prosperity walk with you throughout the days of your life DADDY !

MAKE A WISH CHRISTMAS EVENT
Together with my poly buddy, MR SLANG ( Soon Loong Ang), we went down to one of the event organised by MAKE A WISH ORGANIZATION for kids who are suffering terminal diseases like leukemia etc...
It was indeed an eye opening and fun filled event. Just seeing the kids enjoying themselves to their brim really bring joy to me. I was volunteering to mend and watch over the buffet table. Making sure that it's tidy and organised.
This organisation attracted many volunteers, and the aim of Make a Wish to the grant the wishes of the kids who are suffering terminal diseases.
I didn't regret being present for this awesome event and I hope that there will be more opportunities to such events because I believe that it shapes your character.

2008 CHRISTMAS PARTY @ MY PLACE
I housed the Christmas party once again and it turned out to be successful. Everyone was present for the party, and they brought along really good gifts (compared to the christmas celebration few years back whereby I got a children water bottle which you can hang around ur neck)
We had steamboat, then watched the all time favourite SAW 5, then gift exchange at 12am, and finally DRINKING and playing games !

2008 COUNTDOWN PARTY
The guys came over to my place at night to do a simple countdown.
We drank and drank till some of us were dead drunk and this explains why I have only 1 pic for this party.

1 STAR KAYAKING
Finally got my 1 star kayaking cert with Telvin.
The 2 day course with Water Venture was really fun. Learned a couple of essential basic skills. Even though I am the only one which capsized most of the time, I think I am also one of the faster kayak-er which can climb back to the kayak within a short time.
That idiotic Tel was like mocking me throughout the course, saying you keep capsizing and blah blah blah....
That cassanova managed to chase after a girl from the same course, despite deeming that girl is not interesting at all ! IRONIC HIM!
I was caught by surprised too !
Gonna ask more people to take the course so that we can have a kayaking trip !

BAKING RICE EARLY IN THE MORN
My sis has a christmas party @ work from 9am and she asked me to make baked rice for her. Not 1 portion, but 20 portion.
I remembered vividly that the last thing I did before getting home to baked rice was playing Guitar Hero @ Lk house, it was 4am in the morn before we went to have breakfast at MAC then get home.
I reached home at 6am and I baked those trays of rice with my eyes half opened but as I follow closely to the recipe, I knew I am never gonna doubt myself.
At the end of the day when she came back, I received compliments from her, so at least my effort weren't put to waste!
If only my eyes were fully opened at that time ........

AWOL ?

2008-11-15T14:52:00.010+08:00

SORRY SORRY SORRY !!!

These past weeks have been the worst nightmare of my tertiary life man. You won't believe if I were to tell you that I have 2 projects for my elective modules and a FYP. Woah, 11pm is the time on the clock when I planted my foot on my doorstep. Crazy man.

Though there is lag in updates, but there is no lack with catching up with my buddies. Running, Gym were not compromised.

I experienced 2 nights of grueling research for my projects without any sleep and the next very day, I've got to present my part of the project.

Anyway, this entry will bring out the best of the things I did over the past few weeks. Shall not make it too lengthy, let the photos take you through this entire entry.

Thanks mummy for such a wonderful treat which really perks me up after a treacherous day at school. The yam paste at Jumbo is really superb, it has a unique taste from the rest. Go try it out !

Got a Norwegian Salmon from Cold Storage to satisfy my inner craving fro Sashimi. Remove the skin and there you go, dip the slices in wasabi and soya sauce and enjoy it. Jason and Johnathan, pick a date, we can have dinner over at my house again. Steamboat yeah ! haha

These are some of the really few pics which my bud, Slang took during the Sungai Slim Water Water Rafting Trip 3weeks back. It was a Class 3 competency level and I hope The Adventure Seekers (TAS) committee will send over the rest of the pics asap. This trip has really brought back those wonderful times of my NPCC ATC camps over at NPCC Campsite, Paula Ubin.

A simple gratitude from the 3 of us to show our appreciation for the hardwork which the TAS committee has contributed. And our MUZ make it seems like he is reading a love letter full of love quotes and corny expressions.

Shall present to you my class. Our typical project day on Thursday.

See the serious side of my classmates?

And also the ludicrous side of another bunch.

And me a typical pose which you often see before a international football match, like the World Cup. They will often sing their national anthem before each match commence.

Feeling bored 1 Wednesday afternoon. Drag my bro down to get the ingredients and kick start with the baking of a blueberry cheesecake. This is my FIRST time baking a cake, people who came my house managed to sample it. So far, comments are relatively positive. It's not cheap to bake a cheesecake too man, it cost me around 40bucks. The cream cheese is so exorbitant and for a cheesecake, it seems that you need tonnes of it.

Together with Choon Hua, Qianling, Mengkiat, Liankwang, Jiamao, Koksheng, Jason and Johnathan, we headed down to a prawning farm to do some prawning. It's a whole new exposure for most of us and gladly we enjoyed ourselves very much. Paid almost $100 for 3 rods, 3 hrs of prawning and we merely caught 8 prawns. BBQ-ed them with no seasoning except butter and sprinkle some pepper on it. Overall, the uncle should always refill the pond with more prawns, I went with an expectation of 30 prawns per individual, but I ate only 1 for that night!

Alright, gotta end this entry soon. I'm meeting friends over at Farmway 3, Pasir Ris to visit The Pets Villa. Will post the pics of both events soon.

2008-10-12T22:36:00.004+08:00

ARGH !!!
Inadequate rest after a night over @ Vogue.

Look out for my upcoming entry. Still waiting for gorgeous Shanon to send the pictures over. She still refused to send them to me, hmm still thinking of alternatives to devour the pictures from her clutches since sweet coating words do not work on her ! This lady is so hard to please indeed.

Alonso was emerged as the champion for the race at Fuji Speedway, Japan. His took 1hr 30secs to complete the 67-laps race.

1st runner up was Robert Kubica representing BMW Sauber and he is 5.2secs behind Alonso.
2nd runner up was Kimi Raikkonen representing Ferrari and he is 6.4secs behind Alonso.

This race was obviously not Hamilton nor Massa's. There will be 2 more races before the season closes in. Who will emerged as the champion for the 2008 F1 Grand Prix? Catch them during the next race @ China for more action.

16 - 18 October 2008

my new enslavement

2008-10-11T02:41:00.004+08:00

Today has been a really eventful day for me. Went for class in the afternoon and was briefed by my lecturer about the Flight Simulator review which will be held next Thursday. It constitute 50% of my project 1 man, so dont play play. Gonna fly that well and score points man.

After class at 4pm, Slang and I were resting at the library before we had our run and our pull up session.

I was so satisfied with my timing for my run, it has improved by 14secs and I aiming for at least 11.40 for my 2.4km run during Napa. Wish me luck man. Pull up is still as usual, im training really hard and the blisters on my palms will prove it all. Broad-jump, worst! still at least a 10cm dist to a grade D. Gosh the expectations for every station are all so demanding for a typical obese like me. Nonetheless I will try my best to get a silver for my napha.

After our work out session, cabbed down to KOVAN to meet lk,mk and jm for dinner. Was dining over at a Thai "cafe" near the famous 24hr prata coffee shop @ KOVAN. Food was acceptable but the green curry was superb! Good recommendation man koh!

And yeah, this wed there will be buddies dinner and tentatively the time will be ard in the evening and we will be having THAI food over at yishun. haha, koh is ferrying us, so join us if you can.

I'm left my players BANKRUPT !!!!
I've got this virtual MONOPOLY game installed in my lappy and got me enslaved to it man. This will gonna be my killing-time activity. A game can last you for at least a hr (this may not be accurate because some may be good with property management and trading) The entire lasted me for an hr it left me with a spitting headache now man. Nonetheless it kills my boredom.

Alright time to sign off now !

"dumb" poly mates !

2008-10-09T23:28:00.006+08:00

Well school started this week for me and was really busy with my project while the rest of the Ngee Ann majority are still enjoying their final week of holiday.

There will be 2 upcoming projects which I will undertake this coming semester.
One is to fly the Flight Simulator (current) and plot some data values into some formulae and work them out.

The 2nd one will be involving Satellites. We are still yet to be briefed but this is something really new for Aerospace Students and our project will be finalised and the best one will be participating in some competition on the tertiary level. Sounds competitive, but still gona work really hard with my team to achieve the best results.

I have been flying the flight Simulator from 9.30-4pm EVERYDAY ! Woah but flying have been really a passion for me and I'm enjoying every single moment in class being a virtual pilot. haha
I guess life is full of ambiguities but it's good to have a goal which you want to attain ultimately.

This is what I want to earn ultimately.

"Nothing worthwhile comes without a struggle" -Soon Loong
How real do you think this statement is?
I think this is really fantastic, so true indeed.

At the same time I will like to bring out a point too.
It's good to strive and reach for your goals, but never forget those who was once your pillars of support. Family, friends and etc...

Next up: Screenshots of a new skill (Straight and Level Flight)

This 4days have been a great catching up with my poly buds man. Waaoh they are like a bunch of "nicompoops" which you can rarely find on the streets . So damn "GUAI LAN" la. One moment they can be cracking lame jokes, and the next moment an intensified debate over a particular issue, and the next moment throwing string of explicits all over the place. But seriously they are a fun bunch of peeps which doesnt make life in poly look so drab. They are like spices which flavours every single moment in your tertiary education.

haha, furthermore they are a bunch of ridiculous people which will say that I "POR" them after reading this entry of mine. SENSELESS PRICKS !

alright, it will be a long day for me tmr. Going for a 2.4km run with Slang after class. Then gonna meet jm after my run for dinner. And maybe meeting Benson after dinner to celebrate a friend birthday @ DBL O.

Sign off....

Ger your tissue ready !

long update

2008-09-30T02:02:00.005+08:00

I was really bored one day and thought of calling my cute lil cousin over to play. He was jubilated when he received my invitation. We had a great time together man. He was learning to play Counter-Strike that day and he enjoyed it thoroughly. After knowing of his limitations (his young age) of reaching the level of difficulties and intensity of that game, he decided to play a simpler shooting game. A shooting which can be found in miniclips.com, but now, shooting down of SPACESHIPS. Hilarious.

This boy really brightens my day. He even pestered me to lend him some of my MR BEAN VCDs and demanded my mini yellow volkswagen toy car which he deemed to be the same as of MR BEAN.

Knowing that he have so much to carry, he politely ask me this :

Kor Kor, can you please give me a plastic bag?

Whats more, he even called his mate down to bring his VCDs and chocolates up while I cooked some noodles for him.
Then when sending him back, he demanded to climb the stairs with him. All the way up to his house and I thank God its only 8 storey high.

He is just too adorable and lovable. I promised to bring him out 1 day to get him his MR BEAN teddy bear. I shall meet him tomorrow after my swim with the guys. Maybe jm and lk will be so in love with him and buy him sweets. haha

Our impromptu KBOX session over at hougang plaza. Good times spent tgt. Mk was a terrible photographer and thats the reason why I do not have any pictures of myself.

I realised Ric's (on the right) look fantastic. haha definitely not mk who took it. haha

Cheeky but passionate when singing.

More updates !
Went Ikea with KS on sunday. Woah we had a great time out man. He was looking for a chair and both of us actually tested the huge array of chairs which were displayed at the furniture section for at least 30mins. And having much discussions and individual points of view, we finalised the decision.

KARSTEN SWIVEL CHAIR

After that, we went to the paintings' section and KS managed to get a great macro shot of a flower. Very expensive painting indeed. It was the last piece too.
We took a shuttle bus back to SK and then went over to his place to fix up that chair and had dinner there while catching the LIVE telecast of the F1 race.

Woah I regretted not buying tics to catch them live man. Going there to listen to the whizzing of the cars is more than enough to feed my satisfaction. And I'm proud of Singapore to actually won the bid to hold the F1 seasons for 5years. This means, tendacy of watching the night race LIVE is realistically high. Looking forward to that man.

My view on Sunday's race:
Everyone was competitive, you see the competitiveness to outshine one another dwelling in each and every single racer.

Alonso was great, due to some setbacks in the qualifying rounds which landed him to be the last few on the Grid, he still continues to strive and indeed he has delivered it well.

Felipe Massa's incident was a lil bit too dramatic and tragic. Votes were cast on him even the race commence. He was leading in front of Hamilton in the beginning and his fate of walking away as the champion was destroyed after his 1pit stop where he drove off with the fuel hose still attached to his car. Woah and the engineers wasted so much time to detached the hose. At the end of the day, he was positioned 13th.

Lewis Hamilton, he is my all time favourite man. His determination has earned him his 2nd runner up trophy. And on the score chart, he is leading ahead of Felipe Massa by 7 points. Which means in order for Felipe to outbeat Hamilton, he gotta really perform for the remaining 3 races which will be held in Japan, China and lastly Brazil.

7 points may be a huge no. but it could be something which is attainable too. So bottomline, its both Hamilton and Massa's game. Cant wait to catch the race on the TV once again.

Guys if you are interested, the race will commence from the 10-12 of Oct at Fuji Speedway.
Japan's time is just an hr ahead of us, time is perfect !

My all time favourite reality TV is back ! Like FINALLY !!!!
This will be the 13th season.
It will be on channel 5 for 2 timeslots.
One in the morning I guess and another at night, like 11pm.

Quick update for tmr.
Swimming in the morning with jm and lk before heading for lunch.
Run at night with jason.

BUDDIES ALERT: Supper tmr night yeah. Lk driving his van up to ferry us. Do keep yourself free, it's public holiday on wed too. So lets meet up and hang out together man. Will send SMS to all of you tmr again.

Good times together

2008-09-25T02:41:00.002+08:00

Had a scrumptious dinner over at SUSHI TEH TAKA with 2 of my very good buddies. The bill leeched from all 3 of us a total of $102. Wonderful dinner, good ambience, good food and most impt good companions. As a staff of Sushi Teh, of course there are privileges like complimentary deserts and 10% discount of your bill. But I still think there is still room for improvement for Staff's Privileges. HMM gluttonous me!

Headed to Cine for our KBOX session. Sang for 3,5hr before cabbing home. Whats more, at the very last 30min, lk was like screaming at the top of his voice, and this attracted the attention of the staffs outside. They were giggling and smiling, but at the end of the day, it does not concern us at all, we enjoyed ourselves and we foot the bill.

Tmr gotta meet up with ks and ric for a afternoon swim then head down to IKEA to do some shopping, then maybe a good dinner to end the day off.

Fred is being pampered heavily, at his OWN EXPENSES though.

Alright pen off, time to hit the sack.

Intensive workout

2008-09-24T01:23:00.003+08:00

Hit the pool with lk,jm and jason in the afternoon. Dive straight in and fulfill my target of 40laps. Hmm still quite satisfied with my performance, but I still need to buck up more man. Swimming has always been a form of relaxation for me, knowing that you've completed your goal brings you nth but jubilation.

After swimming, jason and I tortured ourselves further by hitting the gym straight. Woah this is our 1st time man, cant believe I actually complied with his suggestion. But nonetheless, we hit the weights hard and left the gym after an hr or so.

Whole body and mind totally drained out man.

I think I've made a really wise decision not to work this week. I deserve a break after the grueling 6mth stint with ST which earn me only a B for my grade. *PISS OFF*
Time spent with buddies and family makes my day.

What's up for tmr man.

Afternoon swim with jm at SK again.
Head down to town to meet up with lk for shopping then a good dinner at night.
Meet up with Jason @ night for a good cooling run.

wise-fully spent week.

Update Update !

2008-09-22T23:14:00.006+08:00

This has always been our usual hangout ever since it was launched few mths back. Weekdays will definitely be a good choice to swim compared to weekends. You will encounter inconsiderate fellow who will mingle by the perimeter of the pool,standing water in the middle of the pool, swim diagonally across the pool or WORST, swim by the breadth of the pool. I mean it's okay if you were to do that in other pools but not in the competition pool right.

Woah this is a picture of jason and jm in competitive mode man. Lk and I were done with our laps and were seeking shelter from the hot burning sun. Due to boredom, hence this pic.

Childish freaks. One in his own bedtime boxers and another who sit near the pool and have the audacity to soak his flip flops in the pool. Caught by the lifeguard and was told off. He gotta thnk his lucky stars that I did not snap that pic else he will be featured in STORM. This huge guy may be familiar to some of you, he is our junior from CVSS. A attention seeker I must say. What to do, the lack of maturity. Just like me few years back. wahaha

We helped KS out with the painting of his bedroom. Watch out for an EXTREME MAKEOVER man.

The hardworking and cheerful painter. Our dearest Johnathan Chia.

Today was kinda bored. Was trying to do smth but to no avail. So i decided to cook smth for the family. Bought the necessity from COLD STORAGE and began cooking. I've realised that I'm so in love with spices and herbs from MASTERFOOD. Check them out ...

Present to you, Spicy Teriyaki Fillet. Rated 7/10 by mom and bro. Doesnt taste as good as I've expected, it could be the marinade . Overall I'm still very much satisfied with the outcome. If you do not know, cooking is one of my passion. I love to make someone's day with food. haha but that does not explain my huge-ness. thats 2 different topics...

And all time favourite, Chicken and prawn (with veg) spicy pasta. Adding spicy-ness to the pasta indeed enhanced the flavours of it. KS will love it I guess.

Hmm I guess that's all for today. Tmr intensive work out. Swim in the morning, then jason requested to gym after that. I will bring my gym equipments, but we shall see if we can still go on after our 40laps swim. haha

Workouts Updates !

2008-09-15T01:05:00.005+08:00

No pain No gain

2008-09-12T00:40:00.002+08:00

Today was really full of vigorous workouts. Starting with a 30 laps swim over at Sengkang Swimming Complex with jiamao and lk. Was feeling rather fortunate as lk is driving to pick us up over @ my place. That saves the treacherous walk under the hot glaring afternoon sun !

Had a whale of a time over the slides area. There were lifeguards who were made to stationed at the pool to ensure the safety of those who were coming down from the slides. They gotta make sure clearance is done before they signal to the personnel at the top to allow the next user to take the slide.

So the hilarious part was, me together with mao and lk were on the slides (side to side), as we were sliding down at an accelerated velocity, the next image which I saw was a lifeguard who was stationed below, wiping this sunglasses. What's more, his tee was half drenched. Shall not elaborate more, and out of the 3 of us, you know who is the culprit.

So after a great swim, we headed back to our nest and rest for the day. At night, I called out for the guys to have a run but none was available, therefore a one man run for the night. Satisfying run I should say, covered at least 4km and was sweating profusely when I met ks over @ my fitness corner.

He was sharing about his stint at Eureka, a events management company. I found his job scope rather interesting because he is dealing with different stuffs and he have the opportunity to meet people from various companies. Nice !!

So ks decided to train his pull up and amazingly he is still able to hit 10 after a hearty dinner. Hmm and shame on me, yeah SHAME ON ME!
I can't even do 1 ! Hmm NAPHA is coming up really soon, the fear of not pulling myself up over that bar still dawned upon me. Looks like I need to make some adjustment in my weight lifting sessions. Lets see.

Anyway, buddies out there, we are celebrating Johnathan belated birthday this Sat ! Confirmed! Tentative time to meet will be ard 7.30 pm and the venue will somewhere be in the EAST. Please throw in ideas if you have any and make urself available for that day of celebration.

Out with buddies

2008-09-09T23:23:00.005+08:00

Today was an eventful day for me. Together with my bunch of buds,naming ks, jason, mk, and jm, we headed to SK swimming complex for a swim before shopping over at Compasspoint and Tampines Mall.

Swam 30 laps this afternoon and the drive and motivation of pursuing fitness is terrified. All of us challenged one another to swim 30 laps, including our jiamao. After a good swim, we headed to CP for a healthy lunch @ Subway, Eat Fresh. Still tasty as ever yeah.

After lunch, mk and ks went to G2k to shop for their formal wear, which is required of them during their 3/5 mths internship. Glad that I'm done and over with it!!!

Chanced upon a swimming tights @ ARENA boutique and managed to get one at a really cheap price. Loving it, new tights for thur swimming man. Got some necessity such as shampoo and body foam for swimming and some rolled oats for daily breakfast. NICE !!

Good time spent today, gym tmr with jm and bang. Looking forward. Then going back to CVSS to look for that FB !! Work after that till 10.30 !

Alright half an hr more to our dearest Johnathan Chia 20th birthday!

This guy has been really a great buddy to most of us. His cold jokes always amaze us and some jokes of his left us irritated, a desperate need to give him a huge spanking! His contagious laughter never fails to make us laugh so hard till our sides hurt.

His failure of managing his priorities never fails to make us wake for him in whee hours like 2am to have STEAMBOAT together.

His clumsiness always portrays a behaviour of a clown in a circles.

His enthusiasm in MUSIC caused me to giggle when 100% was reprimanded by Mdm Aliah when we skipped Social Studies Remedial Lesson.

Johnathan we still love you for who you are ! Happy 20th Birthday !!!

Major Updates

2008-09-06T14:35:00.008+08:00

I was wiping all the windows in my house 1 day and I happened to chance upon this weird looking bug which I thought Haim Saban got his inspiration from before he created the illustrious kids TV series, Masked Rider.

This bug really look unique. It has legs of cockroaches, stomach of a really huge flying ant, wings of a really huge bee and of course eyes of masked rider. haha, amazing creation !

Love you always mommy!

I am still able to recollect those days where I was still a little kid, 4-7 years of age.
Among the 3 kids, I wont deny that I am the most defiant kid. (its proven during my secondary sch days, not now though)

You wont believe if I will to tell you that I always talked back at my mom since young. She never fails to draw her deadly weapon, the cane, to punish me. Never would she know that it would eventually aggravate the whole situation.

I would yell at her non stop till her very 1st drop of tear trickle down her cheeks.That would indicate that I've won the battle. *horrible right

But as years past by, that trick no longer work on her. My mom wised up, she will either not cook dinner, buy me toys, or bring me to my neighbour's house to play. So whenever I lose the battle between her, I will just isolate myself one corner and just cry ! And when there are guests at my place, they would come forward with candies or toys to stop me from crying.

As I grew older, I've come to realised that my mom plays a significant role in my life. The little things she does means so much to me. Being nagged by her is something inevitable, but I know she loves me more than anyone else. I appreciate her commitment and contribution to the family.

Winsome

Ebullient
Noble

Devoted
Youthful

I thank God for her and I will love her always!

Learn from it !

Don't you all agree that when one loses something, he will tend to feel remorseful for not cherishing what he has in the 1st place.

Attachment is ending pretty soon, to be exact 2weeks. Everything is coming to an end man. I can't deny that God has indeed placed me in a really great working environment. Colleagues places your welfare as their top priority, showering you with love and care, selflessly sharing their deep knowledge with you, appreciate your contribution to the team and most importantly there is no discrimination. They do not see me as a intern but instead embrace me with open arms to be a part of the family.

Human have this really common mistake which they don't really learn from despite committing time and time again.

They not only do not treasure what they have, they are never content with the things they have. I guess this is a grave mistake which one can make and I think it's time to put a halt to it.

I have learnt so much throughout this period of 5mths. I've encountered really good company of friends and engineers too. Indeed every single one of them have nurtured me so much and teach me stuffs which I do not know. One example will be IVO (Croatian friend), he taught me the importance of widening your knowledge, not only within your own boundary but beyond it. Anoop (friend from India), was really a close buddy man. He is like a health consultant to me, sharing with me tips on building up and workout. Woah and there are a few more...

2 weeks will soon come to an end, I shall really cherish my time over @ ST Aerospace. One thing I've regretted over the 5mths was that I've taken too much MC. Snigger...

I will do my best to repay kindness to those whom have been walking alongside with me throughout my stay at ST, this is really a enriching, heartwarming experience which will definitely etched closely to my heart.

Alright below is a really classic picture which we took yesterday outside Hai Xiang Restaurant, Park Royal Hotel.

I present to you the Electrical Engineers of ST Aerospace, AED Dept.

I thank God for them really !

Daddy shouting : Hey boy, are you done? We are leaving !!!

Okie dokie, I need to head to Changi for a family gathering ! Time to go peeps.

What's the story for tonight? Hmm heading to Lunar to celebrate Andy's birthday. Will post pictures if there is any.

Ciao...

New fetish ?

2008-07-19T23:32:00.002+08:00

I was stricken with guilt when I see my hit counters kept on counting and my entries weren't updated at all... Well I thank whoever out there who regularly comes into qiyou.blogspot.com but apologize for leaving empty-handedly.

I have really really been busy these few weeks. Attachment is coming to an end and overdue reports and upcoming final report and presentation is pressing really hard on me that I do not have my very own breathing space. This is seriously INSANE !

For those who were concerned abt me for the lack of updates, just wana let you guys know that I'm pretty fine. I hope to do a really major update after my internship. Its ending on the 8th of Aug! Im smelling the 2 1/2 mths of holidays coming up...

Let me share with you smth which you might not know. Fred is desiring to learn mahjong and TEXAS HOLDEM POKER. He's got a recent and strong appetence for both games. Whoever is he/she out there who knows you fit the bill, please make yourself known to me. Let's get engaged in some brain stretching games !

I'm running out of ink ...

2008-06-29T16:21:00.005+08:00

Sorry dokie

2008-06-26T23:23:00.003+08:00

Hey all, Im truely sorry for the lack of updates man. Everything has been the same for me, I freaking hate internship! haha not to that extreme core though but nevertheless I shall complain no more because its ending on the 1st week of Aug. WOAH!!! The aromatic smell of my holidays are diffusing through my nostrils.....

Shall start my new entry tmr again.

Sneak Peek: Mk is coming over to bake cookies ! For who man? Shall leave that victim as anonymous. Is it for a close friend, a buddy who is leaving SG, or someone special?

It's definitely at your very own discretion to make any wild guesses but not to the extent of bulging our dear mk day and night, all day long !

More pictures will be up tmr !

Crazy blogger

2008-06-18T05:48:00.003+08:00

Time check : 5.52am

Who will be in the right mind to blog right now? But guess what, I am sitting on my comfy chair ready to kick start with today's entry after waking up like 4.30 in the morn to prepare breakfast for my family. It's only once in a blue kind of thing for me to wake up to actually do crazy stuffs. Hehe

Okay now updates on past events.

Watched the hulk with bang on sat night and I reviewed this movie with 3stars out of 5. The entire movie is really draggy and the storyline isnt that strong. I felt this movie imitates the concept of the Kingkong movie. A huge creature in love with a petite lady. What's more, the militants seek to capture this huge creature to exploit his power. Nothing hilarious actually, except a few scenes in the movie. What is really nice is the motion pictures. Realistically awesome !

I've heard over the radio that The Hulk, hit US Box Office with number 1 on the ranking table.
Hmm, I've watched Iron man and The Hulk, bottomline is that the hulk is not even comparable to Iron Man. So its your own discretion to catch that movie.

Alright whats on my queue today?
1) Half Day Pilot Career Talk @ Ngee Ann (finally I'm able to go back to sch)
2) Report back to work (DREAD !!!)
3)Gym @ Hougang (PUMP IT!)

Today is Wednesday again, so many are asking me to go club tonight. I'm still resisting temptation by mk. haha, let's see.

Alright, I'm going for my run now. See ya peeps.

Side Job ?

2008-06-05T00:07:00.003+08:00

Going to work has been really a drag for me. Maybe Im just bored with the same stuffs im doing since day 1 till now. Its getting so routinized !!!!

today was really eventful. I attended a talk conducted by the Adam Khoo Learning Technologies. I guess everyone will know of this local talent who made his 1st million at the age of 26. The speech was given by one of the coach, Perry Lai, and frankly speaking it was marvelous.

The 2hr talk introduced us to making of revenue through internet marketing. Learning how to market/promote a product or services to a third party. It may sounds tough but its actually feasible. I would prefer something challenging like this than the dubious Click Per Cost (CPC) kind of ads whereby visitors just click on the ads on ur web/blogs and $ starts cashing in. I got a few friends of mine who is into it right now and one of them earned like $200 (USD) after a mth. Hmm thats sound easy money huhx but its not a bad idea giving it a try too.

I was enticed by Nuffnang too as I've seen so many bloggers serving nuffnang ads. In my opinion, I guess nuffnang is much more reliable because its the 1st blog advertisement companies. I shall give nuffnang a try and see how it goes. Take it as a side job for me.

Another coincidence occurred after the talk. I was on the cab with my friends after the talk and while on the way to Tamp, at a traffic light, there was a girl smiling and waving at me. I wasnt aware of it until my friends interrupted the conversation I had with another guy. To my amazement, I saw Qianling on the other cab ! Woah it was really coincidental and I couldnt believe that our QL is like so observant. She could recognize me within secs. wahaa, it was really hilarious.

Alright time to hit the sack. Tmr is another long day, soccer training after work at THE CAGE. woah !!! Good night peeps

report's killing me

2008-05-27T02:38:00.003+08:00

I just completed my 40 odd pages of my mid term report ! PHEW
I'm tired now, gotta wake up at 6am !!!
ARGH!!!! MC ? I shall see....

God knows it

2008-05-26T00:48:00.002+08:00

15mins for me to update

The earthquake of Sichuan didnt grip a hold on me only until today when I came to realised the intensified calamity which the people of Sichuan had undergo.

I managed to chanced upon the Charity Show on channel 8. Initially, I just wana catch a glimpse of it because I still have my unfinished report to complete and the dateline is like on the next day. But as I continued to watch, I got so caught in and couldnt help it but to sympathize with the fellow brothers and sisters in Sichuan.

Why must this happened?
Innocent lives are taken away, the simplistic province of china which was once so filled with jubilee now turns into a living hell for the people. Hopes are crushed , purpose of life ebbed away over time...
We are talking abt 60,000 lives taken away and it really breaks me when I see a whole new figure of the death toll in papers every day.
The escalation from hundreds to thousand then to tens of thousand really blows my mind !

Allow me to show you some truth. All these calamities do not happen without a reason. Everything has been stated and it is revealing clearly over time. Some of you may despise me for doing this, or some may say why should I believe in what you are taught in church and etc...

Hold on to your comments !
Read this up and I hope it will somehow stir up that heart of yours.
This is the truth not from some high respected leaders, not from the elders of the church, not from my teachers, not from my parents. Not from MAN but from GOD !

Luke 21:7 - 11

Teacher," they asked, "when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?"

He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away."

Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

Jesus is talking about the intensity of one calamity after another. The previous earthquake was a 6.5 in magnitude but now we are talking about a 7.9 magnitude earthquake. Gosh it really scares me! Just awhile ago, china had another aftershock and it was a 6.5magnitude earthquake. Guys, strings of events are going to be fulfilled according to what the bible has stated few thousands years ago.

Stop indulging yourself about self-proclaimed prophets manx. I have heard so much about people saying this is the last Olympic held, year 2012 is Doomsday, there will be a great earthquake on the day of the Olympic itself and etc...

Gotta wrap up everything.

This was indeed an awakening call for me manx. My walk was God wasnt good lately and hence I lost my purpose of life. It was through this that make me realised the Sovereignty of every word in the bible. 60,000 lives were taken away, its not a joke manx. Cherish what you have now, do not wait for a hard lesson to be taught in order to show love.

Love the people around you, love the people whom you dislike because you will never know if you will still see them tmr.

I will keep praying for you ( daddy mummy mk rek lk mao ks johnathan jason ql ch mic and all my fellow friends and loved ones.

Hate me not for that cause it shows my love for you!

Jesus loves all of you!

Dare to dream

2008-05-20T22:40:00.002+08:00

Today work was exceptionally different. I've got another Industrial Attachment (IA) student from Croatia who was being attached to my dept. Woah his name is Ivo and he is really amicable. He will be attached to ST Aerospace for 3 months and I guess both of us are leaving around the same time.

Woah it was really a good time chatting with him during working hours. He is currently studying at one of the universities in NYC and guess how old is him? He is only 21 and he is like half a year away to his degree. I have realised that SG males are really at a disadvantage manx. Take me for instance, by the time I complete my degree, I will be like 26 or 27 and I guess in a year or 2, i will be eligible for marriage manx. I mean I do not have an established career by that time, how am I supposed to get settled down manx? No wonder statistics show that working adults are getting involved in marriage at a very much later time than its supposed to be. This doesnt show the workaholic-ism of Singaporeans but demands of our society. Who will be in the right mind to get married without a established career?

Okay I foresee how is my life journey going to be like few years down the road. Time is battling against me, I gotta cherish the time I have now and not make any blunders anymore. Getting into sec 5 wasted 1 year of my time and I cant afford to waste anymore time.

Getting back to the topic, I realised Ivo's dad is a pilot of SIA and he is retiring in about 5 years time. I somehow sense that God has gave me opportunities to come to know of the people who are in the aviation industries. I've got a contact of a pilot who used to work in ST Aerospace few years back and amazingly he was introduced by one of my colleague, Mdm Wong, in my dept. Mdm wong gave me his email (after permission was granted by him) and asked me to contact him, but i have still yet to do so maybe due to the hectic working life.
Now Ivo's dad is a senior pilot and I guess I will have to seize every opportunity that comes along.

Its not a bad thing to have big dreams, and some have gave up those ambitious dreams because they felt it is impossible for them to fulfill that dream.

I guess what you can do is to yourself this : are you willing to take up those challenges that comes along the way in fulfilling that dream of yours?

I have always longed to be a pilot, since i was a little kid. I'm fascinated by the different fleets of aircraft whenever my parents brought me to the airport and until now, my love for aircraft supersedes every other things. i wont deny that learning/ studying pilot manuals is tough and it takes great discipline to study them but at the end of the day, I know i must know them because they are essential. So this is the struggle that most of us faced.

Will your passion be overcome by the challenges you are going through in fulfilling your dream?

If yes, then I guess to gotta reconsider what do you want in life, your career specifically. Have you found where your passion lies or are you still searching for it?

Bottomline : Follow your desire, work towards in and you will see success.

Long Weekend

2008-05-20T00:17:00.004+08:00

How I've always longed for such a good, long weekend manx !

I do not know if my weekend was eventful but I guess I spent most of my time resting and being involved in a event over at the Singapore Turf Club. Has been a great working experience with mk, jason foo and chen long. WOAH !! they are just a good bunch of people to be cranky with manx.

Ok movie updates in awhile...

I spent my entire afternoon rushing on my report, it is half way through and I'm struggling!!! Still alive and kicking though :)
Mk is like the platform of my distress. He was like rushing me to get out of my home because we are supposed to meet for dinner and movie.

We went to P.S and got good seats for the movie MADE OF HONOUR, we went to SUSHI TEI, paragon, to have our dinner. Frankly speaking, even though we have been working in ST for months, we just couldnt resist the food over there. SAKAE SUSHI diners out there, would you like to consider Sushi Tei if you are going SAKAE again for your next meal?

We had scallops, grilled squid, swordfish sashimi, sal belly soup, beef ramen ( for me) , ebi Don (for mk) and more...
Just a little advice: Avoid the ebi don, it dont really taste good.
Our dinner was made complete with a complementary desert, ice cream with crepe, by the manager.

Fabulous is the word to describe it ! It comes with a price though, we spent like $80 for a meal like that... Worth it but watch your spending little kid. haha

Alright movie updates :

Synopsis:
For Tom (Patrick Dempsey), life is good: hes sexy, successful, has great luck with the ladies, and knows he can always rely on Hannah (Michelle Monaghan), his delightful best friend and the one constant in his life. Its the perfect setup until Hannah goes overseas to Scotland on a six-week business trip and Tom is stunned to realize how empty his life is without her. He resolves that when she gets back, hell ask Hannah to marry him but is floored when he learns that she has become engaged to a handsome and wealthy Scotsman and plans to move overseas. When Hannah asks Tom to be her maid of honor, he reluctantly agrees to fill the role but only so he can attempt to woo Hannah and stop the wedding before its too late.

My rating : 3.5 /5 stars ( you gotta catch it, esp lovely dovey couples out there)

I feel the movie teaches alot on how you express urself to the one you really love. How many of a time we got mistaken with things that shouldn't meant the way it ought to be.
Or.....its only when someone whom you cherish leaves you then you start to realise that you gotta open urself up, be frank and express it out. And by the time you realised that, it is just too late....

The implication here does not only deals with you and your gf/bf but also those whom you loved so much but dare not express your love to them, your PARENTS.

I shall not go any deeper into that, else i will be like spending the entire night typing it out and then dozing off in my office tmr.

Bottomline:

For couples: Be frank with one another, always express yourself the best you know how to your partner. Honesty is the best policy yeah. Share whatever is in your mind, be it a blunder you've made or when you feel like praising your partner. I guess both genders appreciate words of affirmation, encouragement, compliments and most importantly being confided to one another.

Family: Dont you agree, as we grow older in age, there is a always a gradual escalation in the propensity to hide our feelings/thoughts from our parents. In times of trouble, your friends are always the 1st whom you turned to, and your parents may be the last in your mind to seek help from. Why is this so? I guess, it only boils down to the relationship you have built with your parents all these years.

Suggested steps:

1)Tell them how much you love them
2)Thank them for the little things that they do for you
3)Share with them how lousy/good you feel for that particular day
4)Sought them for advice when you need any

It takes 2 hands to clap too. So likewise parents should play their part too. I have noticed Caucasian parents have modeled the roles of being parents really well. Thumbs up !

Who says we can't gain anything from the movies?
What a joke....

Oh yeah, mk and I saw Swing and Shu Xian at the MRT escalator. Wooh we could barely recognized them, but still we did some catching up within that few mins before we bid one another goodbye. wahaa, i got a craving to catch CHOCOLATE and WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS this week, any interested parties bo ? haha and i need MK's Safra card. wahaa

Tired .... buenas noches !

2008-05-16T22:01:00.003+08:00

Before I even begin, allow me to 1st clear the cobwebs which are lying all around, termites feeding on the rotting HTML of this blog, tremendous increased in spiders population so on and so forth . . .

HAHA let's begin...

Its Friday again !! HURRAY, this is a day where no thoughts of unsettled assignments are involved (even though i owe like 4 weeks of report and half way through my mid-term report), I'm just giving myself a break, isolate myself away from those sickening workloads.

People usually ask me : Hey fred, how's attachment manx ?

Fred : Yeah it's good, learn alot

(in my heart this is my heartfelt description of internship. " Internship is boring after 2 months because everything seems to be so routinized and for goodness sake, I have to write a 60 pages long report at the end of my internship, thus I'm contrived to learn ! "

Nah, I'm not going to have a whining session here again ! We shouldn't live our lives this way, so full of negativism manx. Be contented what you have now, you may not see the benefits for the long run, but rest assured, the fruits of your labor are promising and will soon be revealed over time.

SOUNDS cliché !!
Speak for yourself FRED ! wahaaa

What's up next ?

I couldn't believe it when my brother exclaimed that he won himself a pair of tickets (the premium seating) for the upcoming CLICK 5 concert. My jaws almost dropped when he was like haughtily shouting for joy. I did not even win myself any lucky draws for these 20 years and he just got one like that. HOW CAN ?

What's more, he is not inviting me to the concert with him, nor any of his good friend BUT intending to sell the tics to those diehard fans ! This is his conversation with me :

Bro : Kor, tell you what. I am waiting for opportunity manx !

Me : what opportunity?

Bro : I'm waiting for SISTIC to sell away all the premium tics for the concert before I auction mine out to fetch a higher price ! GEEZ

Me : WHAT THE !!! You better treat us for a good dinner ! I want SUSHI TEI !!
(the thought of having sashimi comes straight to my mind)

Bro: (giving a gloomy expression...) Let's talk about it again. (and he walked away. At that very moment, that thought of mine seems distance away to its fulfillment, Im going to persuade and make him feel bad anyway. EVIL bro i am ! )

Next up ...

My buddy koh lian kwang finally sets up his very own , personal blog.
His blog features the slices of his life. (family, friends, love and school)
Certainly his blogs give every reader a sense of humour, every language or LK's lingo will be reflected in his daily entries. I shall introduce no more, visit his blog and I assured you wouldnt want to click on the " BACK " arrow.

I'm so captivated to your blog koh, good job buddy !!

Lastly . . .

Who will be interested to join me for the 5km run, organised by the Punggol Runners.
The route will be at Punggol. I guess I wont be there for a competitive run, but a run to test my physical status, not comparing records with other runners.

Let me spell out who I will be targeting : Derek, Jason, Deming, KS, MK, JIAMAO, RIC...
Contact me soon manx, so we can proceed with the registration.

With that, I am going to end here la. Eyes are so freaking tired la. Going for a cooling night run later. . . Any interested peeps ?

my ranting begins . . .

2008-05-01T14:55:00.002+08:00

To begin my entry, please do safeguard yourself from all the rantings which I'm going to vent it out in this blog of mine. As usual, your views may vary but most importantly, I'm going to give a few honest feedbacks on ST James itself, specifically the Power House.

The ST James goers for that night: Mengkiat, Chris,Steph, my sis and her boyfriend, Serhan, and 2 other friends of hers, naming Breena and Johan, not forgetting myself too.

We hit the Bellini ard like 11pm and the entire place was already so packed. It was ladies night then but our ladies didnt have that 5 free drinks which are rightfully theirs, because they were late. A little bit more on Bellini, its like no other clubs in singapore, not a place for clubbers definitely. There is a small stage where the jazz singers like Jesse and Mr Brown (not that comedian though) and their band perform. The entire place is so consumed by matured ladies and guys, at least 23 of age, who will gather around the tables with hotspour or wine, and totally sucked in by the soothing songs. Free entrance for both sexes but make sure you are at least 23 of age, unless you have the same exceptions as us, where someone older gotta bring you in.
Cool place to chill, thumbs up !

In less than an hr, we hit the RNB room, the Power house. The crowd turned me off totally, it was like 1am and there are still huge crowd gathering at the backyard to wait for their turn to go in. All thanks to Johan who brought us in through his membership privilege. Me and mk ended up not paying any entrance fees.

Here comes my ranting . . .

There is practically no dance floor in that room even though many will say "there is what !"
Tables are all around the room, even on the dance floor(proclaimed by many). There is practically no place to even raise up your hands. I believe its the same as many club giants like Zouk and MOS where its seriously skin to skin contact when u are on the dancefloor. But most of the people there were gathered at the own tables(on the dancefloor), DRINKING ! minority of them are dancing. So imagine if you are so caught in by the music and started dancing, and there was this guy standing right behind you trying his his best to at least take a sip of his drink but couldnt because you are like bumping into him. I mean the entire atmosphere of that night will be ruined. All they need to do is to remove those tables which are obstructing the way.

Next free drinks were given to our ladies, but we were told to hop from one bar to another to redeem those free drinks. Why are the rules and regulations so rigid ? It was really annoying to squeeze our way through the crowd from one end to another just to redeem those free drinks, some nincompoops bumped into us like nobody's business, and worst they didnt apologize ! Give us a smile at least !
Okay we managed to see a long queue of ladies redeeming their free drinks and worst still the queue aint moving a single inch at all. Haiyo this is really terrible. We directed ourselves to the middle of the dancefloor instead.

Next drinks are really terrible !!! Instead of having our vodka orange and cranberry, I felt they are giving us jugs of juices instead. Are your vodka running out?
Drinks are still the best at double 0, good price and quality drinks !

Lastly, good music comes in intermittently throughout the night!
After 3am, i do not know what songs was the Deejay playing, i think that's one of the technique deejays have adopted to CHASE OUT CROWDS ! haha and it was really effective!
People are leaving at the point of time and we too packed up for the night.

Argh ! Sorry for the really long ranting manx, I will not ever step into power house anymore, but for Bellini, I will !! haha alright that's all for the entry, more pictures will be up soon after i take from steph.

Im going sushi tei with mk and his bro later. Wohoo sumptuous meal ahead !!

"a moving experience at every turn"

2008-04-26T14:03:00.012+08:00

I visited the Singapore Flyer few weeks back with my family.
One word : MARVELOUS.
The view was magnificent when the cabin reached to the peak but I presume in years to come when the IR, casinos, theme-park and other attractions are fully established, your experience on that cabin will definitely be way different from mine.
I did enjoy spending that 30mins of quality time with my family, being amazed by the sky scrappers, The Esplanade and the lowly-built Fullerton Hotel.
Below are some of the pictures which I took on the cabin, it might not be clear but I'm bringing the best to my readers so do enjoy the pictures below.

Ever since Terrorists started to make their identity known to the world, security can no longer be compromised! Even though the small little cabins may seem invulnerable to such attacks in the eyes of many, but still precautionary measures have to be taken.
So stop complaining fellow Singaporeans,put your belongings into that security X-RAY machine and walked through that metal detectors without pulling a long face. Give a SMILE instead :)

I think it works really well for couples who really want a short, sweet getaway.
The Singapore Flyer is for you manx !
Hot Tip: You need not book the entire cabin just for you and ur mate, all you need to do is to work out a good plan. The cabins are constantly moving, so its like a pick and go concept. All you need to do is to identify the non-peak hours of the Flyer and who knows you may have the entire cabin to yourself.

Notice towards the left of the picture, you see a football field right. Some of you might not know, that field is awaiting for its certification by FIFA. So in months to come, don't be surprised if you see huge crowds gathering on the floating platform watching a match.

Everything looks like tiny little toys when overlooking from the cabin itself.

To fulfill your exhilarating experience on the Singapore Flyer,please visit The Singapore Flyer Website for more details.

Lethargic Me !

2008-04-08T19:29:00.003+08:00

Sorry guys for the lack of update.

I have been really busy with my internship, I have practically no mood to use the computer or watching the television when I reached home. Blogging became adverse, but I will try to update my blog at least once/twice a week okay. So what's the reason behind it?
It is simple, I'm dealing with electrical cable installation using CATIA software on the computer. So it's like using the computer the entire day. Without a doubt, my eyesight is deteriorating! But NO WAY, I need my eyes for my future career, so I'd better take the advises of the senior colleagues and have regular break intervals.

At least my weekends are well spent and I do not isolate myself at home. If there is no family activities going on the weekends, I will prefer to spend my weekends mingling with my friends. Sundays are reserved for church, so I will try not to scheduled anything for the morning.

This is something random. I dreamt that I've failed my NAPHA. I couldnt believe that I actually failed my 2.4km run. At that moment of time, the commitment to run at least thrice per week has became futile. Nonetheless, i take this dream as an awakening call for me. I will take every training of mine seriously, even though its merely a 3km - 4km run. Last week, I compromise my training abit, guess I will have to train hard and sweat hard this week. Any companions for runs, or gym?

Haha! Ok i'd better stop penning, gonna rush for my overdue weekly report.

I desire . . .

2008-03-18T01:16:00.003+08:00

First and Foremost, let's welcome back Bro Koh LK !
eh i did your receive ur eraser and pencil for my birthday lehx? Where is the parcel you promised to send from London ?

Haha I think you had a hell of a fun over at london. Did not even see you online for the past 10days. Do not delete the pictures taken from my SD card, just leave it, I will want to see them !

Okay now a little bit of update on me. Had me really occupied with my internship, my on breathing spaces will be on friday nights and the weekends! Everyday after work I will just come back, have my dinner, and there I go lying on the couch when my family was watching the TV in the living room. It can be really siong manx, I hope i will be able to smoke through this period and at the same time accomplished the given tasks given to me and most importantly leave good impression!

Abit more on my personal life.
"Give me more time and I will lose weight to prove you all wrong!"
I guess people around me have been hearing this from me ever since secondary school days. And like after few years later, I still look like a fat plump ball ! Haha still remember the days whereby friends around me jokingly tease me abt my physical appearance, and some of the crudest comment is: NECKLESS creature.
Given my personality, I don't really take those comments to heart neither do I despise myself even more.
Instead those words are like a string of motivating words to achieve what I really want.
Most importantly, I still have friends around me who will encourage me.

Reminiscing those days really amuses me, it all seems like it's yesterday.

2008 will definitely be different !
I'm taking these 6mths of internship as a training regime for me as well. I am going to see the changes in me at the end of the 6mths. Results may be unpredictable but let's wait and see. haha

Went for a run with jason just now! WOAH it was just awesome.
We started from the junction near SX's hse, all the way down to the stretch of road that goes to Punggol park. Then pass by the P. Park, and headed back to our meeting point. Rough estimation of the distance is around 3.8km - 4km? After that, went to jason's fitness corner to do some toning exercise before we bid goodbye.
Great run with you bro !

This Wed's we will be hitting the gym and pal on the list are jason, ks, dm and me. Mk u said you wana tone up, so join us! Bang, if you are free, why not join us too?

Lastly this fri is good fri, so any plans on thurs night?
Waiting for your calls !

Reminder: Don't ask me out to drink ! haha

Throw out like a Merlion

2008-03-15T17:05:00.002+08:00

I'm 20 already !
Yesterday I went double O with a few good buddies, Jason,Ks,mk and johnathan. If you are thinking of clubbing there, think twice. Why do i say so? Firstly the atmosphere there is sucky, as compared to Zouk. It's not crowded at all and not to be mean, there are alot of muslim and indian brothers and sisters there. Secondly, they dont seem to have a theme for the night. The songs played range from Mambo, R&B, abit of trance and house. Thirdly, the dancefloor is so small. So I do agree with my sis that Double 0 is not a ideal place for a great night of fun.

What's nice there?
Their drinks are so cheap! A jug of Vodka lime (or any flavours) is only $12. 3 jugs, shared with 4 people can get u high. They have this 1 for 1 from 12am - 1am on cocktails. People will seize the opportunity to get Flaming Lambo, Waterfall and etc. So never hesitate to go there to chill, it's perfectly alright! But i will suggest pub, there are quite of nice pubs in SG anyway.

Gosh me and mengkiat were drunk. Jason and Johnathan felt abit tipsy after having a flaming lambo each. I had 5 jugs of vodka(lime,cranberry and orange)-we share, 1 bottle of Royal Stout, 6 shots of tequila, waterfall(share with mk). That got me drunk, after that I do not know what mk's bro and his friends treated me. Kept bumping onto people around me, dance crazily on the dancefloor, wobble down the steps, vomit 3 times, 1 on the street, 2nd on the cab, lastly in my very own room! Damn it was crazy! Shall not share what i did to the vomit in my room! Went to bed after vomiting, and my parents were angry! I'm displeased with myself too, I should have self control over me. Anyway it was over, I promised that this will never happen again!

Wana thank all my friends who made this birthday special.
Mk, jason, bang, koksheng, johnathan, mk's bro and his friends, slang, weesiong,weelee,gab,kenneth, cheryl, kelvin and many more who wrote their well wishes on my friendster and facebook comment box. There are too many people to thank for!

Thank you so much !!!

Obsession

2008-03-03T20:27:00.004+08:00

Internship to ST Aerospace commenced today and I believe it will going to be a fulfilling 6months for me over at that company. Reporting time for me was 9am today and thank God I wasn't late because 1st impression counts. Hmm so we had a briefing early in the morn and it tells me so much about the company. ST Aerospace is the world largest MRO company for 3rd party supplies in the aviation industry and guess what's their 2007 turnover?

It was a WHOPPING 1.8billion dollars! ( I hope this aint a company secret which I must keep it only to myself) I must really think twice before i share anything in blogsphere because as staffs of that company, there are certain stuffs we need to uphold confidentiality, else we will be charged. Going back to that, have you ever thought of the bonus received by average performing staff of ST Aero? Let me clear that doubt of yours, as mentioned, an average performer can received up to 16months of bonus at the end of the year whereas a better performer will received up to 20months of bonus! WOAH ! Unbelievable right ?

Alright stop being fascinated ! You want that kind of good paying job, work for it! Do waste time dreaming !

So ard 7 were attached to this company and all were dispatched to different departments. I am allocated to this Passenger to Freight department. Have you ever thought of what are airlines going to do to those commercial planes which have a long history and is ready to be scrapped(like the Boeing 767) ?

Let me tell you, they covert them to cargo planes.All they need to do is to send in for maintenance and make some changes to the interior.

What's more, we are able to walk pass the hanger to see the different commercial planes and the famous Charlie 130 ( C-130). Planes flown all the way from alaska to service their planes here! Cool !

Lastly what's the nature of my duties? I'm learning on a new software, named the Catia. It's something similar to Autocad, doing designing of plane and etc... I do not know what are we suppose to do in the next few weeks, but I hope it wont be like today whereby we sat in the office from 12pm all the way to 1730hr just to learn the software. At least get into that cockpits and get myself new experiences. haha ! Those who know me well, they know I've got an obsession for planes and an ambition to fly ! haha alright i guess this is way too long, shall update again soon.

Healthy Living

2008-03-02T15:16:00.003+08:00

A weird loud sound in the middle of the night that came for the 9th level kept me tossing on my bed for hours before i eventually fell asleep ! I do not know abt you, but have you ever experienced hearing weird noise, like moving of furniture, knocking of wall etc in the wee hours?

You might wonder if you actually have inconsiderate block mates living above ur head or are there supernatural things going on in the middle of the night? It's not only me who heard it, my mom was awakened by it at abt 1am and she thought I had a quarrel with my brother.

The noise started around 12 onwards until 4plus am(where I couldnt stand it anymore but to sleep). It is really robbing me of my sleep! There is a saying: "A hungry man is a angry man" but mine differs, "A sleepy man is a very angry man". Sleep is a paramount importance to me !

But anyway, I hope whoever is responsible for the noise, be it the neighbours above or caspers, I just want the noise to cease tonight !

I woke up with aches all over my body, felt like a weakling. Going to meet up with bang later for some shopping spree before heading for good food at night (with my makansutra guidefood) ! Tomorrow will be the commencement of my Internship, hope everything will be smooth, good working colleagues and management. Internship will be 6mths, so alot of things which i always do during my free time will also be stripped away from me. No more gaming, no more excessive hrs on the net, lesser outings with friends, no wednesday nights @ Zouk, no more work at Sushi Tei and etc... Shall treat this 6mths as a preparatory stage for NS too, gotta start a slimming regime, hope to see a new change after 6mths. I need moral support ! haha

Had a high protein meal this morning. A chocolate protein milkshake accompanied with a fresh bowl of oatmeal. I guess I was struggling to decide what to have for breakfast because the savory packets of instant noodles tempted me but thank God I managed to stay firm in enforcing a healthy lifestyle in my daily living. Without a doubt, healthy diet comes with regular exercises too, so I am going to schedule dates to go my workout too! any companions? Run, gym, sports ? Do let me know!

Alright I guess i need to finish some admin work for internship before meeting ah bang later. see ya peeps !

Long Update

2008-03-01T00:51:00.004+08:00

Woah I guess it has been such a long time since I last logged into Blogger.com to write a new post. Argh, I guess I haven't been really lazy, procrastinating whenever I am supposed to blog.

Alright, I reckon this is my last week whereby I can really have a good rest, hanging out with friends and etc... I am officially commencing on my attachment to ST Aerospace next week and it will be a dreadful 6months there! Least, I won't be touching on any books, or worrying of the datelines of tutorials, online quizzes, common tests and etc... BUT ! I will need to pen down my daily reports and submit to my liaison officer frequently.

Strive to do well for my IAP and get good grades for it. It all boils down to one's attitude, so I guess I will need to make a drastic change in my lifestyle. Late-comings will definitely be intolerable!

This week have been really meaningful and at the same time expenditure shoots up ! Went for the 2years, 1 time event, The Singapore Airshow. Woah it was just indescribable, the acrobat performance was SUPERB !

Somewhere around the beginning of the week, had a poly buddies outing @ SAKAE Sushi. Went bowling then a game of daytona. They are really a funny bunch of pple to hang out with. At night, some suggested an impromptu trip to ZOUK. Can't imagine that I am soon turning 20 and that night was my 1st night @ a club. It was a great experience though, looking forward for the subsequent night life like this.

Just yesterday, met up with my 3 other buddies, Rek, lk, mao for lunch @ Chicago Steakhouse, Cineleisure. It was indeed a good catching up among all of us, some attached, some still single etc. We have learnt so much abt one another life, i guess it was a good time spent. Too bad no photos, guessed we were just to captivated in the ongoing conversations.

Today, supposed to report work @ 12pm but feeling abit lazy in the morning, so decided to ask to change to 3pm. Koh suppose to visit me with his girl this afternoon but I forgot to tell him abt the change in timing manx! Sorry bro :) Hope u enjoy the lunch there. Oh yeah, as I've mentioned earlier that I am working at 3pm instead. But when I reach the restaurant, I was told that I am not supposed to work today, that really warms the cockles of my heart ! But so as not to waste the trip, I compromise and decided to start work at 6pm instead. For the 3hrs, I am going to do some shopping @ VIVO ! Well, didnt know that I could really shop, spent the entire 3hours shopping, shopping and shopping! Got a pair of shades, a nice pair of pants and a shirt.

Anyway, today's work was a breeze. There we too many staffs in the restaurant, so there's nothing much to do anyway. Anyway, mengkiat take note, the rates for FRI,SAT and SUN wont be $8/hr anymore. I will be spreaded out to $6.50 from MON to SUN. So wana quit? Or hunt for other jobs?

It's getting real late, guess i will need to just stop typing and bid goodnight to all peeps out there!

2008-02-13T22:23:00.006+08:00

First and Foremost,
I will like to take this opportunity to wish all of my friends, buddies and all who I know a PROSPEROUS LUNAR NEW YEAR !

I believe all of you are having a great deal of fun out there right?
I had my fair share as well, though Ang Paos this year seems slightly lesser, I guess SINCERITY still matter the most! This new year has been a great catching up period with my relatives as well, especially my cousins! Woah they are really a great bunch of people to spend my time with. We had late night supper, movies even at 1.17am where we took a cab down from my house to Dohby Ghaut which cost us 20bucks !

Every Lunar New year, we never fail to have sumptuous and heavenly foods which make you feel like not putting down that pair of chopsticks.

Gaining mass during this period of time is also inevitable !
I do not know those really health conscious people but for my case, I just couldn't resist the delicacies that were placed all around the house. I mean if you tried to avoid, you just couldn't, because those around you are eating too, so you are left with no choice but to give it in, the only statement which you will console yourself is : " Nevermind la, its once a year. I will exercise more after New Year la! "

Anyway to sum up everything, I guess it's really fruitful !
Most importantly, cherish your loved ones when they are around !

Now . . .

I will do an update for today !
Went to Palawan Beach with KS today for a good tan.
The weather didn't disappoint both of us, the sun was just nice for a comfy good and effective tan.
Tanned for around 2hrs before we went for a shower then to have lunch at Subway (my fave place)

There was this Sentosa Flowers 2008 held near the area of the Merlion.
It exhibits a huge array of flowers and also flamboyant sculptures that were solely formed out by the different types of flowers.
They have pineapples, butterflies, caterpillars, hearts and etc...
I guess it will be a good place for photography lovers, not only you will be so engrossed in the flower displays, there is a majestic Merlion just beside you!

What's more ?
As you climb to the peak of the hill, you will get to see the entire view of the sea.

Woah !
How fortunate for KS to study there !

Alright, so after our lunch, I've made up my mind to accompany KS to his 4pm lecture at Tourism Academy.
It was indeed a first hand experience for me, I have never entered into someone's lecture, NOT even in my school !
I've also got to know some of KS crappy yet funny friends.
Eye-Candying is also inevitable because for Tourism, there will be a higher percentage of ladies than guys. I could say it's so different from my course, it's so DEAD and Boring ( I'm not referring to any of my mates, they a good bunch to hang out and crap with). I guess for my course, we are missing out one important element, and that's Girls. I mean it's really good to have a balance right !
Girls have their own innovations, ways of thinking and studying strategies ?

Would it be too bored to only hang out with only guys?

Haha, am I lamenting too much ?

Anyway, let's drop this topic and finish up this entry.
Exams is like 4days away and I have not started studying, I guess for the next 4 days, I will most probably hide myself from the world and start doing my revision.

Okay, this is getting way too long, I guess I'd better end here.
Oh yeah, tomorrow is Valentine's Day,wish all couples (young and old) a blissful time spent together !

Sincerity Counts NOT EXTRAVAGANCE

2008-01-19T02:20:00.000+08:00

2008-01-19T00:35:00.000+08:00

Just a quick update for today.

Today with my poly friends, we have planned a casual BBQ gathering today.
As usual, we got our food from the Award Winning BBQ Center, BBQ Wholesale Center. Trust me, the food is really good and the price is reasonable as well.
The raw food is marinated to its top quality and it saves the hassle as well ! All you need is to pay $10 and it will deliver directly to you.
Never without fail, I always order from BBQ wholesale for my secondary annual class chalet.

For more details, visit www.bbqwholesale.com

So today, we had BBQ over @ Gabriel house, Cashew Heights.
It was really a fulfilling time together with my poly buds, the good bonding we had together, woah its just too wondrous !
Thats the only reason why i encourage such gathering.

Sec 5B: we are having our annual chalet this Mar or Apr, so be prepared for it.
Bang, lets get started with the administration work and KS, you can start coming up with some cool games.

T2Q1: Definitely we are going to have more of these gathering again. So do throw in more ideas on how can we plan for the next gathering.

Wanna take this opportunity to thank these pple:

Gabriel : Thanks for allowing us to held this gathering over at ur place. Really appreciate the hospitality manx !

Soon Loong,Xian Ying, Wee Siong, Wee Lee : Thanks for helping me out with the BBQ stuffs, its now all about 1 man show but ALL OF YOU ! I guess it really helps me alot, because i will get too stressed out if I were to do this alone. haha

Eugene,Cheryl,Alan,Andy,Kevin,Kenneath, Karey: Thank you for availing yourself for this BBQ. Even though its last min, hope you guys enjoy both the food and the time spent together. Laughing abt just anything under the MOON. hehe

Alright for those who did not make it for this BBQ, fret not, we are going to one again soon. So stay tuned for updates.

I guess, pictures speak more than a thousand words, so do enjoy the slideshow above.
I'm turning in now, uncle's wedding tmr evening and work in the afternoon.
Good Night !

Fitness and Wellness

2008-01-16T22:46:00.000+08:00

It has been really since i last blogged.
Nothing changes much in my life manx, projects piling up, assignments driving me bonkers, preparation for Re-test and the upcoming examinations is sufficient to kill me instantly.
Frankly speaking, I hate STRESS !
My one and only formula to avoid stress is to SLEEP !

Many may think that by sleeping it won't help me get out of that situation too but I will like to strongly differ from that statement. By sleeping, it helps to strengthen your entire body, rejuvenate your muscles and your mind. Without a shadow of a doubt, it certainly helps you to handle the stress in an appropriate way companied with the right attitude.

Alright, what I did today?
Hmm, i hit the gym at Marsiling with Wee Lee (poly bud) and another of his friend. Havent been visiting the gym for like 2-3mths and today was really intensive manx! Main muscle group today is Chest and Triceps.
When approaching towards the end of our training,every repetition I did was a struggle manx ,its like my muscle were tearing apart.
It was an intensive training but fulfilling. Whenever I tried to let go of the bars, wee lee and his friend just simply don't allow me to, I am told to finish the set of 8 instead.

There is a saying : "Everything comes with a price !"

To get physically fit, you gotta really rise up and face those challenges ahead of you.
I hope Soon Loong (poly bud) will not torture me when we run around the campus tmr !

Alright today's entry is abit random, I hope the days ahead of me will be much more exciting!
Alright gotta end now and sleep!

2008-01-01T22:49:00.000+08:00

First & Foremost, Happy 2008 to all who I know !
Thank you for all of your well wishes and greetings, though I may be busy for not replying to all of them, but those are pretty much appreciated !
Thank you so much, may this year bring more blessings to each and everyone of your lives.
More good friends/colleagues to enhance your lives too!
May joy,peace and prosperity be upon you and your loved ones !
Most importantly BE HEALTHY !

2007 has passed, behold 2008 is here !
Let bygones be bygones, let's 2008 be a turning point for our lives too.
Let old habits not have a grip on our lives anymore, CHANGE FOR THE BETTER !

May the Lord bless this 2008 too, I need breakthroughs in my life!
I need to do a evaluation and a reflection of 2007 soon so that I will prepare myself for the new 2008!

Okay now abit of an update on 31 Dec 2007
I had a mini gathering with my buddies and my family on that night. Koksheng and I decided to cook for my family and a few friends, Ric, Dm, mk and johnny!
We had breaded fish, pilaf rice and chicken chop. Gosh it was just too YUMMY! but of course there is still room for improvements!
My family and my friends enjoyed it very much!

1min before 12am, I was still cooking for Johnathan and when it hit 12am, we weren't like screaming, but went around shaking hands wishing one another a happy 2008 !
The climax of the night came in ard 1.20am where my mommy decided to open a champagne to celebrate the new year.
So we had some games and kept on drinking till our faces were all FIERY RED !
Some vomitted, some feeling dizzy and some feeling lerthargic BUT afterall we'd enjoyed the time together.

Alright, I have class at 8am tmr! Argh!
2008 is here, no more skipping class !
Alright I'm turning in, cya peeps !

2007-12-28T01:46:00.001+08:00

2007-12-21T00:21:00.001+08:00

I guess this 2week break would be more of a resting & recuperating period for me.
It won't be a time to be engaged in numerous activities but feel free to ask me out, this week may be packed but next week I'm working only on the Mon(half day) and Fri.

Went for a soccer game with rowee,junwei,my bro and his friends, over @ Ponggol area. It was somehow disappointing because of the heavy rain and I've concluded that Dec is not a appropriate month to do outdoor activities!
So the best thing to do is just laze around your bed and enjoy the cool breeze.*BEDRIDDEN*
I guess you won't have that much of opportunities to experienced such time like this. But take caution, dont be lazybones, continue to do the things you need to do.

Alright tmr is another working day for me, and I'm feeling abit nauseous right now. I suspect that I've got food poisoned!
Okay I think I gotta rest now.

2007-12-19T13:26:00.000+08:00

2007-12-19T00:51:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the lag of updates!
These are the pictures we took during Junwei Birthday!
Had dinner over at Xin Wang (cheap stuffs yet costly), then went to catch "Warlords" and finally camwhoring just outside Raffles Hotel !
Had a great night out with the guys !

2007-12-15T02:50:00.001+08:00

Finally we are back in action !
Today both mk and I were really random! We unexpectedly decided to have lunch at sushi tei !
I tell you, it was really a feast manx, each of us spent like $27 to enjoy a satisfying and scrumptious meal !

Surprisingly, there were a couple of staffs who had lunch over at the restaurant too!
It made it seems like Sushi Tei has not met the sales target and here the staffs are playing a part to meeting the sales target. *wahaa

Yeah so we had, seafood ramen (which taste superb), mackerel with teriyaki sauce grilled to its perfection, jumbo tender chicken on stick, salmon belly soup, and sushi on different colour plates.
Let me explain the meaning behind the 2nd pic. Colour plates are not keyed into the system when order is taken. Usually after the meal, the staff will record down the number of colour plates (which has different prices) on a paper and pass it to the cashier.
So what we did is that we tried to hide the colour plates beneath the bowls.We ordered 4 plates of sushi, but we ended up paying 1 blue plate ($2.20) and 1 yellow plate ($6). We managed to ask a staff to help us clear away another yellow plate and a red plate ($5). *Geez*

Had a great day working with mk too.

P.S : Commit a folly mistake today which made me feel uneasy about it, shall not elaborate on it. Anyway it's a lesson learnt, mk knows, so dont laugh at me ! Give me a chance and dont add oil to fire. *haa*

2007-12-13T21:06:00.001+08:00

How you wondered why are these patches of blurry stains always found on the glass window of a public bus?

We can't deny that public bus is our daily means of transportation, it's not only for students but also those working adults.
This also means that those categories of people play a part in contributing such filthy stains on the glass window.
Have you noticed, especially during peak hours where people goes to work/ school and when people comes back from work/school, you will often see people leaning their heads on the glass window (it's much more comfortable to sleep this way) ?
I have conclude that those stains were caused by the oil-iness of someone's hair / face !

Imagine you leaning your cheek on it ? Gross !
And if you ever tried to clean it away with a tissue, I can assure you that those stains won't come off.

Story Time:

During my secondary school days till now, I never fails to sleep on the bus during bus journeys. And the best way to sleep on the bus is to lean ur cheek on the glass window beside you, agree ?
So during one of my trip to school on a double-decker bus, as usual, I will just sleep on the bus. Initially, I did not realise that there was a stain on the glass window beside me. When I was awakened by the the jamming brake of the bus,I looked out to check if everything was alright.
With astonishment, I actually saw the stain on the exact spot where I rest my head on. Wondering if i have contributed to that, I swiftly clean that way with a tissue, hoping that no one sees me, but the stubborn stain just wouldn't come off.
I've convinced myself that it must be the previous passengers who left the stain, not me ! It was still an embarrassed moment for me but a new DISCOVERY !

2007-12-13T20:13:00.001+08:00

Common Test is finally over. *Phew!*
It has been really a struggle for me for the past few days.
Being a "last-min" person, I always do my revision 1 or 2 days before the test and this definitely won't help me to do well and achieve good grades.
I have totally screwed up my programming module (which is mentioned in my previous entry) and for the 2 other modules which I took, I guess it was just pure luck. What I studied actually came out during the test. But this doesn't bring me true satisfaction anyway.
Success = 90% hard work + 10% luck
We shouldn't be gambling on luck but should instead pump in to the 90% !

Anyway, I will treat this as a learning point and prepare myself for the next SEM.
Meanwhile, I' m going to fully utilized this 2weeks break.
Beloved friends of mine and bang, got any activities just holla me alright !
Working schedule will be on alternate days (odd days of the week), so even days I'm free ! If you don't call me out, I will be most probably slacking and putting on weight at home ! *wahaa

Waiting for your call . . .

Common Test Period

2007-12-12T01:04:00.000+08:00

I've screwed up 1 paper !

Programming is such a disappointment manx !
Looks like I will be spending my 2 weeks brushing up on my programming.

1 paper to go !
Smelling the 2 weeks break drawing nearer and nearer each day.

Have been really busy past few days and I think I've put on 1kg ever since I stopped my workout due to an injured leg. I am beginning to miss the things I detest to do after the injury. Which means, I'm going to be disciplined in my workout schedules after my recovery. Pray for speedy recovery manx, I've been receiving stares from people around me, people might think its mold that is forming on my leg (when it's actually antiseptic powder)

Bottomline : It's not easy be a handicapped/physically disabled people, it takes in great courage to live every single day of their lives.

Okay recently I've been crazy over Photography.
I have learn to appreciate nice pictures too !
For a start, I think I will have to read up alot on photography, learn the fundamentals and at the same time saving up for a DSLR camera?
Not so early though, learn the basics then make the final decision !

LASTLY
This is why I sometimes hate my sch's policy.
Once you are late, you are considered absent for the particular lesson. And that's the reason why you get to see the whole list of classes down there.
Maybe it's time to kick the late habit of mine so that I do not bring myself into deeper trouble !

Anyway, tnks bang for agreeing to be my guardian from the 1st day of my poly life till now. I did not receive any of these letters, but my guardian did. wahaa !

alright I'm turning in now, take a look at some random pics below.
My all-time favourite :)

HAPPY 19th Birthday to Qianling !

This will be my advance greetings for your 19th birthday (which falls on the 12th of Dec)
While most of us have celebrated our 19th birthday, finally yours is coming in like 3days? It has been a great pleasure to have known you since Sec 1? The crazy side of you, listening to your hoikken / Cantonese songs in the midst of Chi lessons, your sudden outburst of laughter which is so, so contagious . . .
I have indeed seen a change in you, you have grown so much, being so independent and matured !
I wish you all the best in your future endeavours , continue to press on even though the road ahead of you may sometimes be tough. That's the way to success !
I know you have your own big dreams, never ever give up that hope but continue to excel and strive for it !
May you also be blessed with good health and stay joyful always.
Continue to bring laughter to the people around you !

-Fred

No Motivation

2007-12-08T12:55:00.000+08:00

High Alert :
I LACK MOTIVATION !
1st paper is like on Mon and and here am I just wasting my time away, no inner drive to study.
Maybe programming isn't my cup of tea and it brings me great distress whenever I have a hard time understanding the functions.
*ARGH * It's killing me !

But I've learn something from my secondary school's principal, Mrs Wong Mei Heng.
"We must open ourselves to accept the things we detest to do, the things we know which will benefits us for the good. "
That time the context of this statement was on fruits. Our school have this fruit day monthly, whereby all students will receive a fruit on the last fri of every month during morning assembly.

I believe this statement still applies to me right now.
How :

1) See that the modules play an important part in contributing to your overall result
2)Open yourself up and allow interest to be developed
3)Be consistent in your revision so that interest will not start to fade off
4)Encourage and motivate yourself to move on

I love programming I love programming !
Is that the way how you do that ? I don't know, yours may be different but work things out which you think is the BEST for you !

Alright, going off for lunch, study, then to QL's bbq @ Pasir Ris.

Work hard & Play hard !

Without him, I don't think I can carry those heavy stuffs from Expo back to SK.
Tnks lehx Mk, appreciate your help really

Maybe James can take note of this.
Wahaa !

Don't be deceived by the smile, those stuffs are really heavy manx!
22inch LCD monitor, Mouse & Keyboard and a heavy Altec Lansing Speaker.
We then headed to Mic's house for some sushi.
Had our very 1st sushi making and it was indeed fun.
Gross sushi came out during the whole process as well.

Mk present his very own humongous handroll.

Mine looks much decent than his ?

Clearing the mess !

Mahjong Time !

Decided to take a picture of it to monitor the progress of my wound, it still hurts manx!

League @ Singapore Poly

2007-12-01T15:44:00.001+08:00

Went to SP for a soccer game between NYP Campus Crusade for Christ and NPCCC.
Well we lost the game with honour :)
Final Score was 7 - 4

Injured myself during a massive defence against the opponent.

And there goes my scar-less, shiny leg !
Some said : "Man without scar isn't manly"
My opinion differs from that statement, wounds like that are caused by clumsiness and if you think that man needs scars to be manly, it indefinitely also means that
MANLY GUYS ARE CLUMSY !

The pain is really excruciating, I'm just hesitating to enter to the shower room !
I've also pondered about how Jesus bore the pain that's he underwent.

Hey wait, isn't that Justin?
Gosh , it's coming !

Hmm this is really unhealthy !
Calories are being replenished !

Initially I thought my cousin had a dagger from China but after he opened the box, to my amazement, it contain only game cards !

Some far yet precise shot.

Crappy dude ! Good to chat and crap with .

Don't ever sleep in class.
Either I will take a snapshot of you or Kelvin giving you a nice haircut :)

My cheerful lecturer!
He's really awesome !

Nice Steamboat and Zi Char

Shop after a full dinner

Canon Powershot SX 100 IS

2007-11-28T22:44:00.000+08:00

Was fickle-minded and it took me a long time to decide whether to get the Canon Ixus 860 IS or the Powershot SX100 IS.

Spent like 2hrs plus in the shop until I decided to bring this baby back home with me.
So far I have no negative comments on this SX100.
I love the way it look (though it's not as sexy as the 860IS) , the 10x optical zoom (way more powerful that any ultra compact camera, ixus series . . .) and the colour (make it looks like a replica of those SLR cameras)

This camera will comes in handy wherever I go !

Spent the entire day out and didn't spend much time on revision for test tmr. I think I better not get distracted. Gotta do my revision now.

Stressed up

2007-11-26T23:26:00.001+08:00

Gosh! Have been really stress lately.
Projects are piling up like nobody's business, undone web tutorials are pestering me and the list goes on and on, like it's never ending . . . ARGH !

I'm left with only 2weeks before my Common Test commences and looking now the rate I'm going, there are certainly alot more to study.
I'm way BEHIND TIME !

I think I gotta give up some of my activities like work, outings, sleeping, slacking or even using the computer and perhaps blogging!

It's time to get serious Fred!
Time wait for no man, once it's gone, it's gone forever !

I think I will need to come up with a 2 week time-table as a form of preparation for my common test.
For the next 2weeks, no gym (sorry bang, but Im fine with night runs), no long working hrs, no computer (bro must be happy) and no long hours of sleep (ahhhhh !)

Okay I better stop lamenting !
Those who are having exams soon, I know you are facing great distress now, but give it your best and strive for it !
Those who are starting to smell the holidays coming, don't waste time doing nothing. Have a good rest and do spend time with your loved ones !

Okay I better get going!
See you peeps !

Back to Sushi Tei again !

Worked from 2pm - 10.30pm.
Today's crowd was still manageable, desmond koh visited our restaurant today. I have seen quite a number of celebrities / stars in our outlet.
People like : Andrea Fonseka (host for live the dream), Eunice Olsen, Desmond Koh, Orlinda Cho, Ben (some chn 8 actor), a guy from the runner up team of superband . . .

I feel that these people are ordinary people and I don't understand why people who are fanatic will always pester them for their autographs or worst, taking pics. These people need their private space too and I see nothing special about them.
Sounds prejudiced yeah ?

Feeling really tired after the day's work. And today, 2 part timers actually had a fight after a heated argument against one another. Worst of all, one of them is a male and another is a female.
The root cause of the entire fight is the wrong words that came out from their lips.
Allow me to write down the entire conversation between them:

Girl: The way you hold your chopstick is wrong

Guy:Yeah so do you know how to hold the right way then ?
Girl: Haha, actually no !
Guy: Waoh then you still talk so much, slap you then you know (says jokingly)
Girl ( was offended) : Slap me? I dare you manx ? Come if you have the guts!
Guy ( was offended too, he stood up took a paper plate which meant for putting of sushi, threw it across the girl's face)
Girl stood up and went forward to choke the guy and the battle begins ! ( do not want to elaborate on that)

So people, do watch your words when you speak. Words can be offensive sometimes even though it was meant to be a joke.

Do not also allow pride to take control of you. It's right that every individual have their own pride / ego. But if you are willing to put that down that pride, I believe love will prevails ! You will gain more respect and people will look up to u as a role model.
Remember pride gives only temporal satisfaction !

Okay lastly wana wish my buddy a 19th birthday !

Happy Birthday to you !
Happy Birthday to you !
Happy Birthday to MK !
Happy Birthday to YOU !

While waiting for lecturer to come, why not just do a short update on the recent highlights of my days.
Yesterday, met up with my bro at Bugis for lunch. Initially wanted to have pasta but unfortunately the PastaMania Outlet has closed it's doors. *Take Note.
But I have a better recommendation for you guys. Bro and I went to "Seafood Harvest" for lunch instead.
The place is really cosy and the food is cheap and nice!
For only $6.50 ( exclusive of Svc Charge 10% and GST 7%), you are able to enjoy a sumptuous main course, a free choice of drink and also a DOUBLE scoop ice cream. Top up another $1 and you are able to enjoy the creamy seafood gadum (soup).
Where can you find such deal ?

I had a plate of tender and crispy chicken cutlet set meal while my bro had a tasty Beef Spag.
We felt that the ice cream is abit too cheapo ! Typical WALLS ice cream.

After that, we walked over to Tecman and I bought a bible for my bro. He has been attending church on Sundays, so I believe that comes in handy.

After that, we bus-ed back together and slept like logs on the upper deck!

*PS : pictures will be up soon, pardon me for my laziness

What's for today?
Felicia Chin and Desmond Koh came to my sch for some Food Variety Show.
As usual, fans will crowd around them, requesting for photoshoots and stuffs. Realized that majority of them requesting for snapshots are the guys.
They are like so crazy over Felicia Chin! *Dumbstrucked*

Okay maybe I'm someone who don't really admire / idolize / go after such people.

So after lunch we went to back to our class and here I'm blogging.
Okay, class starting soon, log off now.
See you peeps !

Haven't been really updating recently but everything is going on fine and smooth.

Tuesday is always a dreadful day for me, not because of the 7am morning prayer we always have in the morning, BUT because of the boring module we are having. I've always hated programming and Digital Electronics. These modules are really dry and I thought I could have got over it during the previous semester and not having it anymore this semester.

Unfortunately it doesn't goes according to my bidding. This semester I'm taking a module which is a combination of programming and digital electronics. It is really tormenting to study something which does not spark any interest in you. So decided to skip the lecture and tutorial for this module and go home instead to have more rest. I haven't had enough of sleep lately, I feel like a dead panda walking in the streets.

In the evening, I met up with my lovely cousin for dinner (together with my sis). We went to White Sands for dinner, woah the Curry Rice is really nice. After that we went to shop around White Sands. My cousin bought me and my sis so many things. My cousin bought my sis an expanse of Victoria's Secret products from States, varying from handbags to body scent.
My cousin did not leave me out either, as we stepped into the World of Sports / Sportslink (can't remember), she bought me a nice Nike Tee and a beautiful pair of running shoes. It's really a blessing to have such caring, thoughtful and wondrous cousin (im so used to call her sister) like her. Even though our age gaps are quite different, but my sis and I still do click with her very well. She is like our role model and our confidant manx!

Nice time spent with you sis and thank you so much for your gifts.

Alright, I can't spend too much time here, I still need to finish my Spanish Proj.
Take Care peeps !

Fun times ahead of me

2007-11-16T10:24:00.000+08:00

Gosh, I have been really busy these days to update this blog of mine. So I've decided to blog now and at the same time trying hard to pay attention to what my lecturer is teaching.

Multi-Tasking !

Hit the gym on wed with bang at Hougang and it certainly left me with sores and aches on my body.
People who experienced sores and aches on their body, esp their abs / chest will know that whenever they cough, sneeze or laugh, it will create a sharp pain on the parts which are aching.

Okay, what's the highlights for yesterday?
Had LifeMeeting at 5.30pm and went out to the campus for a prayer walk. The entire walk was refreshing and fulfilling. After that, we went to K.A.P Mac to celebrate Sarah 18th Birthday. Joel actually booked a party room and all of us feel like being like a little kid again. We have party hats and colourful balloons too !
Instead of having those extra value meals, we have HAPPY MEAL instead. Woah and there is a toy in it. At the end of the party, we play a kiddish but FUN game.

This is how it goes:
The MAC stuffs will put pieces of paper on the floor. We are supposed to gather around those pieces of paper. And when they start playing the music, we are suppose to walk around the paper (like the concept of musical chair). Once the music stops playing, we are suppose to stand on the papers on the floor.

Sound kiddish, but it's FUN manx, especially with the right people.

So we ended the day by taking snapshots here and there. Then reached home around 11plus feeling really lethargic !

Alright, what's for today?
I will be away for night cycling CUM makan trip with the crusaders tonight.
It's gonna be fun manx!
End school at 1pm today, meet crusaders and 9.30pm and then cycle till next morning 8am.
That's all for today, have fun peeps !

PS: More pics will be up soon. It's way too wordy.
