In one night, all that i've known. Shattered.

its a new world i guess!

Warm nostalgic feeling :)

2009-07-23T04:02:00.001+08:00

re⋅la⋅tion⋅ship /rɪˈleɪʃənˌʃɪp/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [ri-ley-shuhn-ship] –noun
1. a connection, association, or involvement.
2. connection between persons by blood or marriage.
3. an emotional or other connection between people: the relationship between teachers and students.

Conflicts in a relationship, and im talking about relationships in general not only BGR for those who are so caught up in it, they are inevitable and necessary.

Why Inevitable? As people get closer, their mindsets and mental models tend to work closer and even meld with each other, influence each other more, etc. Tada!, conflicts or disagreements will naturally arise. Becoming more open with each other contributes too.

However these are all vital in the proccess of bringing a relationship (friend, BG, family) closer. Without conflicts there will be no new revelations about each other, no further understanding and ultimately you either 1.remain in the status quo or 2.regress and drift apart, with or without the test of time. Additionally conflicts are a part of human nature, so please dont claim that you've experienced zero conflicts in your life unless you are en emotional dud or a snail. If there are no conflicts in a relationship, how can you even claim to know each other??

Of course, conflicts good provided they do not stay and get resolved. Yup. Not shoved under the bed and ignored just to avoid the conflict. True, ignoring and not laboriously seeking the root of the conflict just to let things move on quickly is a good thing. But Shoving it away just fills up the backup container containing all things undesirable such as these unresolved conflicts. And like all containers they eventually fill up and overflow. Which is a bad thing. It even serves as a catalyst for more conflicts to come and erupt.
Resolution to a conflict means potentially thrashing it out directly to find out whats up with both sides and understanding both parties, empathy. You get to know more about each other's irks, sensitivities, dislikes, etc. Bringing you to a deeper understanding with the other party. Strengthening the relationship! A healthy cycle involving a not so desirable situation.

2009-04-27T02:35:00.001+08:00

hmmm, sometimes i really wonder why within a clique of friends there are 'cover ups', deliberate omission of information. makes me kinda wonder about it, but yup as u said no one else except that person knows

A snap

2009-03-25T02:47:00.002+08:00

A snap and a 2.5mins routine felt like it was over in 2 secs

2 days have passed since cheerobics and wow was it phenomenal despite the not so desirable location.

Everything went up up uP! and Down only when it was time.

A great feeling, a great team, a great dance, a great routine.

Best Dance in my opinion, not a biased view too as it was echoed by many others! Also theres smth about this that wont make me feel bored watching it many times :D

Sense of achievement i suppose.

Well..... we conquered ourselves that day and next time..... we shall put up a better show. A crushing one i say.

Few aims that i can think of for this year....... to be able to single base.......to be able to do scorpion like jY!....... and to put on weight -.-

G.DT : Denvers Team Lead the way

All the way

22nd March

2009-03-15T02:29:00.000+08:00

Believe that we can actually win something. This past month of total DRAINESS PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, lets hope its worth it : )

Zouk Carpark at 2pm ppl! Cheerobics

DT: Denvers Team, All the way

So long!

2009-03-07T23:19:00.000+08:00

Super Long snake!

Waaa... this snake is like super long la! Click above

what a weird trip

2009-02-28T23:04:00.002+08:00

Started cheerleading Last December. That makes it..........a whole 3 months worth of experience?? and Im gonna take part in my 2nd and 3rd competition during the 3rd week of March. Both of which are on a national level.

Thats 3 competitions in my first 4 months upon being exposed to cheerleading
Scary.

I have to learn quite a bit of new stuff too and get it up to presentable competitive level within 3 weeks. Plus today's training was just filled with numbers. 5 6 7 8 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8...........

Overload

Hope that i can cope with all this til after the competitions and get ready for competitions!

hmmmm

2009-02-19T15:25:00.002+08:00

Well.... kinda weird and hard to understand some people i guess.

Nothing negative, just one period it can be all normal then the next period, its another person and you sort of get swapped down in priority? etc. and maybe repeat it

yes odd. just a random thought

2009-02-17T02:15:00.001+08:00

2 quizes tomorrow. Not really even halfway through with studying.

First time ever.

Oh no...

its kinda suffocating

Just a reminder to myself

2009-02-08T02:27:00.002+08:00

A short couple of things for myself.

1. Must perfect the double toe touch dive roll, etc etc part.
2. The dance too
3. Feb 21st meeting day with Kelvin, Cheryl and jasmine!
4. Arrange a meet out for a post bday outing with Jelvin. Kinda late but.... heh
5. Arrange a fan presence with jh, xx etc to go support ZM at the hey gorgeous! finals
6. Balance cheer and study. No cheer after the march competition period til after exams at least.

well... thats it for now

A new year (Lunar) and dedications

2009-01-27T01:46:00.004+08:00

First off, a Happy LNY to all!
Yes, its not only for Chinese around the world.

As usual, the lazy me spends it at home lazing and relaxing around. What a good life i say, instead of entertaining my aunties and uncles.

Anyway, did the turn your itunes to shuffle and answer these question by pressing next note on facebook. quite interesting and true i must say.... and so in the wake of this i shall dedicate a short post to my friends. Those who are still in reasonably active contact of course

Shall try to be as chronologically accurate as possible or in groups.

Yok and Yak - Yup, knew u guys for the longest. Since.... Primary 1?? making it.... FOURTEEN YEARS. Glad that its still strong!. 14 years eh. Yak, start checking your phone more often la! instead of like once only and at night. your girlfriend msg u HOW???!

Dexter and CKC - Though not in contact as often as i would like it, but yeap! still there and have not forgotten abt you ppl alright : )

Tim, BH, Eng Joo, YY - paiseh, couldnt join u all for dinner that night but oh well still gt next time anyway! and MJ tmr night when im gonna win all of u. WAHHAHAHA. den my next Hanabi meal can be freeeeee.

18/04 ( including... Hanming, Audrey, Lenard, Wai ching, Qing Jing, Elaine) - Hanming deserves a special mention! though now like always so busy sometimes cant even have a proper conversation. Elaine too, suddenly realise that contact sort of died off for near a year already. haiii.. shall try to resume again! and ex dear! always nv come out when we ask u to go eat lorrr : ( SADS

Army ( XX, JH, TL, ZM, ZY, JP, Jel, Denn, MF, Eric, CB, YK andJun Jie) - Crazy bunch, esp the QBU Zhaoming. JH, Big Red Lips TL and Moonface. We shall go out within the next few weeks! before ZM WINS the xiao cao title and become embroiled in fame. hahhah,
To Jinxp: Best upperstudy eh, and kinda bimbo-ey + bitchy at times too but funny also! hahaha.
Dennis: Paiseh ah, like recently u keep asking us to go out but most cannot make it and all also.
JJ Zhen: We should go out soon again too lor. like another one since........ TAIWAN trip!! and pls stop acting like Rain.
Chinaman: errrr...... hope the dampening of China's growth didnt affect your vege's prices.

Kelvin and Cheryl - eh! shit, my perfume still with you la. like since 5 months ago. dunno dry up alr not. hahah. N Cheryl, u are STILL the same as in OCBC times. HAHAHAHA, still rmb your slow reaction and processing speed, like u laughed for 5 secs before realising i was talking about you, when i saw you at cheer training. And as agreed... shall show u a MR TAIWAN by the end of this year!

Jenevie LYL - Best Female Friend. Shall nt use e term bff since its like only for girls and QUITE VERY bimbo to even use that. ( Like a certain M ) hahahah. But yeap, its been Great hanging out and all, its the company la. We should go out on a FOOD hunt next time since u sooooo like to eat and everytime your attention would be transfixed on whatever food im holding when we are talking. tsk. its been great even in cheer! before you injured your leg la... : ( Hope that u can come over to Denvers after exams though, den maybe we can be a pair again! ehhhhh, think i need to shop soon for a pair of pants, havent bought a new one for the new year yet. hint HINT. : )

Tongggggggggggggg - Shall nt call u queen or tong square since u dont like it and i find it odd, errrrr nt like how i would call soemone too. heh. Thanks for giving me the name COBY LIM though, like the much nicer cousin of LIM KOPI. tell u e truth, think it actually sounds quite good! :D hahah. As i said, didnt have a good impression of u at first during FOC, thought u were like just trying to grab every guy's attention to the max la. BUT, im wrong! N u are sooooo not like that. But glad that u are always there with a packet of char mee in your right and a big bowl in your left. hahaha
PS: the M mentioned above is no your M

PX - Poor roomie of the one above, please take care of your leg and rest more by nt walking arnd so much! Though i know u always secretly want a shuai ge to offer to piggy back you rightt. hahaha. ok la, MAYBE next time i offer u???? :D HAH, ok i was kidding. First impression of u was that u were dao!! but soon after u are like e extreme opposite of dao lo, plus can cook also frm what i hear frm u. next year we SCORPION together! or maybe u can even scorpion with me as a single base. shall train hard for that!

Huiling san - DXD! tskkk, nowadays always nv come find us lorrr, only your roomie come. how can! wheres your asthmatic looping laughter, please dont save it all for jap class with your roomie cos a bit errrr will grab everyones attention and disrupt my attention in class especially when the teacher alr say she 's worried for me -.- oh oh, and how come u so poor thing ah! like so much more lessons than your roomie de. always when she no lesson den u have but rarely e other way round.

Siying - Here! finally the part thats for u k! even though u decided to sleep first. but thanks ah! for getting me a shirt from bangkok :) and u, another DXD one though a bit higher than your roomie. hahah. marginally higher la. But ya, funny eh we can clique so well even though didnt know u at first during FOC. Only rmb that u always like to pop your head frm e side of the door when your og came to find yick. and STILL I NV GET ANY SMILEY FACE PAPER MESSAGE : (
PS: This is nt meant to be funny. In case you laughed, means you proved me right in saying u have a DXD. haha!

Hong Yick - Last but definitely nt e least. and u know it too. And knowing that there is a 0.01% chance that you would read this and u shld alr know all this..... it shall be short! what can i say..... the best others never had ( from the facebook note about best friend) and the closest too. Didnt think could get any closer and at ease with a friend til this, like brothers. Though i kinda dislike using that term. hah. ok 'nuff said.

I think i just spent near an hour typing all these out. wow. guess it makes up for my lack of posts previosuly huh?

Amidst the smiles

2009-01-25T15:45:00.002+08:00

:):)
Amidst the smiles, one can still find a tinge of sadness.

just a flicker, as it waxes and wanes at times

Dare to Dream

2009-01-16T00:54:00.002+08:00

Team Xtreme

: ) The first ever performance in my life. hahah. That explains the busy-ness and lack of updates too. Training almost everynight. Now its all over! Literally in a flash. The FASTEST 3 plus mins of my life really. Real happy after that.

yea..

Wooo!

Now im gonna miss training.... : (

And still considering whether to join or not....

2009-01-06T15:25:00.001+08:00

The most intense cheer training thus far. left me freaking hungry and panting like mad.

A side note, suddenly got reminded that i might not be able to continue in hall next year :(

haii..... i don't play any sports, how how how : (

now this is making me sian..........

Post 142 : 2009

2009-01-01T16:01:00.003+08:00

A flotilla of bright lights lined up the entire horizon, mistook it for an industrial island at first sight. Literally lining up the entire horizon. Then red flares lit up the night sky in random succession throughout the fleet. Great sight, great place, relaxed feeling. Far to the right the cluster of buildings that is the Marina/ CBD area was obvious (even managed to recognise OCBC). Fireworks bursting above it, the biggest ones even managed to blot out most of the limited city skyline.

A nice symphony of lights and celebration and the serenity of the night made it oh so peaceful.

All this was also a perfect opportunity for me to think. Don't like to use the word emo anyway. heh. Had short nice talk too.

Happy 2009

Like the stars and clouds, one might seem to be moving but not in fact. Occasionally, the clouds enshroud the night sky blotting out the stars making it starless for a period. When would you know what to believe is true?

Just a post

2008-12-30T14:08:00.003+08:00

Just needa say sorry to the friends whom i've Pang seh'ed and all. Heh, its been quite a hectic and crammed holidays til its not really a holiday but more of a school time not for books but training.

Cheer training to be exact.

Not that im really complaining, just that its almost Every Night in school til at least 3am.

Its kinda draining you know, and later would be joining Denvers with say kai and jen for training instead. at least its near home.

Just another one, pardon me for all the times i said No i can't. Esp to tim and gang. heh. Also tired of organising stuff too, since i just feel like slacking whenever i have the chance.

That of course, is not us. but rather the NTU ACES cheerleading team

Forget

2008-12-28T18:12:00.001+08:00

Yes, i will forget.

End!

Sol

2008-12-21T14:41:00.001+08:00

Alone in hall with no one else around is not good at all.

Night/Day

2008-12-21T05:29:00.003+08:00

530am.

Cheer training ended at 3am just now. Besides the very achey right thigh, the rest seems fine and not that xiong.

And now its time to feel sad, bad feeling i say and its not a passing cloud too. A rather sad and twisty feeling inside. Uncontrollable. I don't know why.

Why all the chances opportunities and closeness?? its only making it worse...

No, really shes not. just a very good friend..... : (

Reiteration

2008-12-20T13:55:00.001+08:00

Its more of a general hope to get H-. No one in particular!

Yup. Hope that clear things up

Been a while

2008-12-17T18:15:00.003+08:00

LONG time no update.

Thats cos now i have CHEER training almost every night! Actually, can consider it every night la. 4 hours every night and no time for my muscle ache to recover at all. Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Sat for this week and for the remaining weeks it would be only a Friday Free before it goes on to everyday. Early Night to Late Night.

There goes all my going out plans now. Oh wells. at least i hope ill be ten times fitter after Jan 14th. And not PORK like err..... someone. hahahah

First one plus week of the sem is gonna be the worst i think. lesson 830 to evening then cheer to past midnight sleep then repeat again for most of the week.

Shall start making the cards soon.... although im not really one for making. Just felt like making earlier on and i cant possibly back out now.

Shall look for jobs more, damn why must the crisis be now. Idiot

Shall send out mail for 18/04 class outing.

Shall book next test date.

Shall settle OG singlet stuff this week.

Shall plan the outings that are intended and not let it be affected by cheer trainings.

Shall errrrr... get hitched?? hahah. Oops

At least this post is not so shabby and crammed like TT's

Well.. it has been a while.

Cheer! 2

2008-12-11T01:00:00.000+08:00

Cant really do it when i think others can alr . haiii.... hope im suited for it : (

Over

2008-11-25T21:26:00.001+08:00

Its all over.

Until 6 months later that is...

So i see

2008-11-21T03:48:00.002+08:00

Uni Grading Proccess

I see.... so thats how the prof makes his pay easier than it already is to earn....

Sol

2008-11-15T01:50:00.003+08:00

Blabberer's post made me THINK and ...... again

Sitting in the little room alone now.

and for the past couple of days.

First, it was the fear of uncertainty.

Then, the barrier which holds the next closer yard couldn't be breached.

Now, all things fulfilled and in position....... except for 1. I CAN'T

Now now, its not like i can't cos im unable to, etc.

There are some things which i do not think i can say here, for it is too exposed.

Oh well, shall with hold it then.

O.Y.A

2008-11-05T12:29:00.003+08:00

One Year Ago...... was my officialy ORD. Think around this time (Lunch Time) i was still walking around the branches chatting around for a while more before leaving the camp and the obligations/responsibilities behind. That rather memorable 1 year that was spent there ended then, and of course the people that i got to know from there. Guess its always good to look back on different phases which felt so different from the other or even the current phase of life.

SHIT GOING TO EMO REMINISCING MOOD. SHALL TERMINATE NOW.

But..... 1 year zipped off into the pockets of history just like this. Just... Wow... Sometimes ill just start to really miss the past and really really really want to go back then... but i always end up being reminded that it cannot be possible! And ill feel kind of a awful sadness and..... wrenching sour feeling within... Cant find the exact words. Did not regret the 1 year that just ran off from last Nov and certainly not the current moment that im in though

Update again!

2008-11-01T00:27:00.004+08:00

After failing to keep the promise to update about first cheerleading training, shall try to bu chang by having a loooooooooong one today.

A Monday. Forgot the date already.
It turned out to be quite fun and ........... stretchingly straining on the muscles. waaaaa, even warm also need ppl to sit on you and pain also must REN. Just dont let it snap can alr. the whole near 3 hour session was a fun weights session. Yea, supporting other ppl's weight that is plus various other embarassing accidents which i shall nt delve into here........... luckily sy, hl they all didnt see.

Sunday 26th Oct
Yick's Birthday! no pictures, STILL waiting for wl to send it over to me but think it might be some time thought :( Anyway it was the first birthday party/gathering tt didnt make me feel intimidated to have one and fun too! at least once in my life la hor.

So.......announcement now......

I SHALL HAVE A 21+1 Birthday Gathering next year at Minds/Settlers!! Yeaaa
Theme: ???
Date/Time: ?Depends on FOC?

----End of announcement----

someone there even got a bit too tipsy. And his parents are actually quite funny n interesting to talk to somemore, hah. Oh and as a added note, i went back in touch with my VERY artisitic side as a result of this event. smth astounding from a few pieces of paper even!

Sometime in between previous and next post

Had the last supper with han ming : ( was his last night staying inside a NTU Hall thats why. One less aj person to go supper with next time le...

This week
Kinda screwed up accounting quiz this time :( but IT project salvaged the academic week though. :D Went back to hall to help out a bit with the item collection, mainly getting the fridge la and after that rushed off back to hougang here HOPING to reach the factory outlet sale before 7....... BUT IT CLOSED WHEN WE JUST REACHED THERE.zzzzzzzzzzz.

The voice that commanded a full house

2008-10-05T14:44:00.003+08:00

Woaaa, seriously 阿妹 can really bring the whole indoor stadium down and even out sing all the screams and cheers of the entire stadium. Energetic and very touching. Especially when she sang 记得. Can't begin to describe it! Also, the part where she sang the non 主打 segment of songs of 我恨我爱你，别在伤口洒盐， etc.

Too bad i was feeling feverish still, throughout the whole concert. As in really 发烧 : (

down

2008-10-01T12:04:00.002+08:00

Now i just feel like going onto the bed and cry the stress out. 8 chapters in a day to study plus 2 tutorials no sleep last night and not much time to do any of those at night.

just wanna give up studying for this

Mamma Mia! here i go again!

2008-09-29T02:38:00.004+08:00

Mamma Mia! What a great movie! not action packed, but just songs and dance from start to end. Happy, happy happy from start to end too! Makes you wanna break out in dance and song after watching it. When exiting the MRT, just everywhere. hahah. To think Jenevie slept at one of the parts!!! GRRRRR .At least she agrees its good too, heh.

Anyway...... happy birthday to Tong Tong too! though its deliberately one week late and still none of the Hall peeps know about this place. Shall be happy birthday to Han ming in 2 days time from now

Wall E

2008-09-10T15:09:00.002+08:00

Wall E! Can be considered as one of the top 3 movies coming out from Pixar. Simple yet effectively entertaining. Not in the usual sense though. Just that there are a number of smile inducing scenes. hahah. Mainly the interaction between Wall E and Eve, cute and heartwarming. The innocent and naivete robot that is Wall E interacting with Eve. Yup

Oh and not to forget the exaggerated portrayal of the future of humanity, where everyone becomes a fat ball surrounded by technology and living somewhere on a gigantic space station somewhere in space. ( esp for ppl who eats a lot....j...e...n....., haha!) Earth of course is as expected, Barren and dead.

4.5 out of 5!

Somehow this song seem to have a strange power...

The days that were then..

Back!

2008-09-05T01:38:00.003+08:00

After an extended hiatus...... im back! Just that am a bit caught up with school and of course ...lazy.... oh well. Found the mood again. After the first gym and badminton session earlier on. Been sometime since i badminton-ed. Not bad!

Congrats to Tong Tong on getting elected!! although no one from hall even knows abt my blog... better to remain that way i think.

Anyway, strategy switch from trying to get into outside of hall committees to being hall centric! yup : ) all in the bid to try and get a place next year if possible. No more emo me now too. hah. Oh well, naive me didnt expect hall to have so many gossips, and i really mean not the typical kind, plus political undertones weaving through almost everything. just another orientation phase to the outside world i suppose.

Results of scrabble....

Life of G.dt at Hall XVI

2008-08-15T01:50:00.003+08:00

It all started out as a simple wish to pick up dancing during the final phase of 'fun' education during my life.

Now its become a tryout for Modern Jazz, Salsa, Lindy Hop and Hall Cheerleading. Oh my....dt.... what a big black hole of possible commitments you unknowingly gravitated into... ... Please pray that you can make it out if you ever get into any of these. Wanna be part of the FOC, DnD plus OVE too. And also of course the number one ... distraction here..... NononoNO cannot like this.

Anyway, hall's fun enough for a start, though not the initial crazy explosion of little sleep, frequent late nights and incessant outings yet. Kinda prefer this softer start anyway.

But still..... Ive been perpetually late for everything, lectures, tutorials and seminars. Bleah, shall try wake up earlier and not to be late next time. heh.

I SAY NO. yup, No

Whirrrrl

2008-08-09T01:17:00.002+08:00

Vouchers to shop over the weekend! the bulk of it came kinda unexpected and are not birthday gifts. Oh well! more to use for shopping!
Got something that i wanted in the first day of school too : ) a Bag that can put laptops or even used for hiking. Note: Bag that can put laptop is NOT EQUALS to laptop bag
As for today, another belated birthday celebration by Kelvin, jasmine and cheryl! and they LEFT THE PRICE TAGS on!! wahhahah, ok i only got to look at one of the tags from the 'Back to school' package. haha, and also for them to sit in changing appetites before that making the board. Thanks yea.

5 days zipped by just like this. wow

This post will probably cover all the posts that i intended to have previously. Heh

The Dark Knight 17th Jul & 26th jul
The movie flows like the stock market / Global Economy over a few cycles. Smoothly and logically for every spike and dip. And there are a quite a few spikes and dips in Gotham City's state of crime. Leaves you thinking its gonna end nicely before firing it all up to another disastrous sequence of events. Multiple views of the World, all gracefully and impactfully delivered by the frighteningly crazed Joker, mainly about us humans and the duplicity of our morals/ codes.

And it doesnt end in a perfect ending like Spiderman/ Iron man/ Superman too!

Self Orientate @ NBS Night Cycling! 23rd July

At fish n co before the 50km journey!

Second outing....Ok this was fun! Even met the 200 plus bikes to be used for the sports camp people at ECP, met them later on the way too. Saw Timothy and his chut chut group amongst em. We practically zoomed past around them! We even had a classier safety vehicle than them :) hahah. First 50km night cycling trip and im a newbie cyclist on top of that! heh, paiseh to all those who someone gt a shock from me while cycling. haha. Had an interview by the Nanyang Chronicles Editor in the morning after cycling. The first thing she said when she came was ' Are you the rejects???' ......................

TODAY

2 pre birthday celebrations on one day, one by some of my AJ class peeps, another by the Family. Shokudo Bazaar for Lunch and Sun Moon for Dinner. Shokudo was SO MUCH better than Sun Moon at Central la, expensive and not that nice. 2nd time having Shokudo within 3 days and i think ive tried everything there.... But anyway it was nice! the 1 hr plus spent chatting while waiting for SOMEONE.... and while eating too. Thanks to those who came! Of course........also to the DillyDallyDude for importing a jacket for me! Although at first i thought it was a SPORTS jacket but it turned out to be similar to a Bae Yong Jun kind! hahah, minus the long trench coat like bottom part la of course. But yup! thanks! and i wasnt disappointed ok!

Alright.... start of hall camp tomorrow! wooohooo! hope its not too............. bad

我猜！

2008-07-22T00:39:00.000+08:00

Went for this episode's recording in Taiwan!

Birthday wishlist!

2008-07-21T02:13:00.009+08:00

Kinda shameless but..... here goes....

1. A nice bag that i can put my soon to arrive Macbook inside too. Got it! Yay!

2. One of the Phillipe Starck designed watches from Fossil! Specifically this actually

3. A simple but good camera maybe?? heh

4. Bicycle! Ok this seems kinda big.

5. A jacket thats not so thick. No! not the addidas/nike kind though. Maybe more of the Esprit type -----Got it! Yay!

6. a hiking backpack Got it! Yay!

7. And of course coupling with a hand made gift would be great!

8. Voucher?? heh : (

9. that perfect non canvas shoe. preferably leather with a overall nice simple smooth design, lace free even? But MUST have a rubber sole by the side, so that i can draw on it. Agnes B! heh .Ok like a bit ma fan, so do not attempt this unless u really know! heh

Shall update it as the day closes in! Made the decision to not hold a birthday bash kinda event, shall instead have little gatherings here and there to those who remembered and bother. Yeap. But of course the presents are not the most impt part................... though they still do contribute. hahah.

Oh and please nothing decorative that can be bought off the shelf, and that includes mugs/ candles/ picture frames or even CDs. yeap!

Taiwan!

2008-07-16T01:04:00.004+08:00

More on Taiwan tomorrow night!.....hopefully i wont be too lazy. hahah

Sneaky Tuesday

2008-07-16T00:52:00.002+08:00

Short random update.

Think today was e first time i remembered sneaking out of Killiney at raffles palce after getting a seat during lunch la! hahahah, all cos twiggy and i thought killiney was gonna be cheap or normally priced. Haha, hope the auntie didnt notice.

After that went off to meet yak, yok and kc for lunch and errr..... a belated birthday meal??? hahah yea belated and so last minute that we didnt get any present for him in time. oh well, shall bu hui soon! Oh and hancock is nt bad, the movie which seeks to challenge the pigeonholed stereotype of a someone with super powers. Not necessary a superhero or a villian, that person can just start off as some junkie. And that a superhero is just a modern day version of a God, just a similar concept but with different titles throughout time.

Plus today was the fastest ever that me and a few others managed to get a present for another friend. within a SHORT HOUR, we got it and were off ! efficient!

Small small world

2008-07-15T00:04:00.002+08:00

Friendster the pioneer online networking tool made it practically possible to see who are the mutual friends that you and other friends know, and which you didnt know about. Facebook brings it a step forward. A direct 'mutual friends' section showing this. Goes to show how small Singapore really is. Yes Singapore and nt the world.

Shall blog about taiwan trip when i get the camera cable and can begin to upload photos! most probably would be.... tmr. Yeap!

In Taiwan

2008-07-06T17:17:00.002+08:00

Past few days at Hua lien was fun and in touch with nature! Nice cold mountain springs too :) Now....Taipei!

3006 & 0207

2008-07-02T00:00:00.006+08:00

2 new memorable dates

30th June 2008

The very last day of the 228 days spent over at and bound by the contractual will of OCBC to do all the work they had in excess on hand. Menial labour or cheeeep labour some might say. hahah. But this day is NOT really like a 2nd ORD within a year, more like a minor veering off in pathways. A rather sad and emo-ified one too.

Never did i really regret extending the contract for 1.5 more months from May 15thhh

Within the first hour, gifts and 'thank yous + well wishes?' started to pour in. It really did tug at my lil emo knob inside. Touched more like it. And rarely do i get that feeling. Even though it wasnt really the ideal last day at work, what with the more than usual pouring in of work. Glad to see all the replies from the ppl at Private Banking via Email after the final farewell message was sent too!

Plus that day, i think i wrote more Birthday/ farewell messages than in the past 6 months la. Had to do all those tooo amidst ALL the last day work. See how xiong the last day was la! It was easily the most fun day of all at OCBC, suddenly going to pantry and have cakes plus errrr a surprise somemore. Although it wasnt really a surprise with cheryl going around telling us how long she took to make it. Hahah! Thanks la! Really! The Royce chocolates too, first time eating and wow it really is nice. Plus thanks to Bessie, Norma, Sijiao, Mariam and errrr Yu Song for all the gifts/ treats too. : ) Suan Mei jiao esp~!! whom i thought was a very blur girl until she rebonded her hair. hahah, its only then i knew that shes quite fun to talk to too! hahah! thanks for the shirt too :) Alright, words dont flow out of me as it easy as it might look but yeaa really appreciate it all.

Ok, spiralling into an Emo Dog again. and NO im not referring to you Bing han. You are a RD not an ED.

Never. That extra 1.5months of bondage to OCBC is the best decision ive made in years. From that, i got to know...... someone who would slap you for taking flyers and not printing double side and a errrrr...girl? with all the funny expressions and reactions! hahah, ok that girl likes to hamster food away from me the hamster king too. just coming over and stretching her hand out open. hahah. The tree hugger too, with the try to be politically nice by adding a actually i think shes quite nice laa... after every complaining or bitching session about someone annoying. A....*cough* ..x . hahaha! Jasmine too, SO NOISY & LOUD LA! after i got to know her better via the photocopier. But it beats having a quiet and scary work place with long straight haired women walking around..... All the "arguments", etc that we had. No more will it be over at OCBC centre #07-00. however i dont see it end here at all. and NO im nt gonna say its only just began, so cliche.

Theres so much more i can say about them but I have not even packed for tomorrow's taiwan trip!!

But just a final word before the flight on 2nd July 2008 . Cheryl! dont be so sad already la! not as if we are dead or wont ever find you all again lor! just that it would be from now on outside of OCBC : ) ill get you some nice stuff, like maybe a mini dragon boat. Kelvin! Finally realise how horrible it is in there without me right! As horrible as we are as friends to cheryl. hahaha, but its ok just 2 more weeks of peaceful sadness... and its over! No more of the Boring Peace.

Oh and for the out of the way late night delivery.......... ill buy for you 3 cups of noodles instead of one!

Update*
Ok ok! 3 dozens!! if i can carry it back... ... : D For coming out soooo late at night, and the chance that your tomorrow might even be super tired. Thanks! haha! no need to say that much le hor?

Thank you all..

Can't help it

2008-06-28T12:36:00.001+08:00

Soooo many people are wearing the same/similar specs as me.
haiii, just cant help it that people wanna follow me. hahah!

Climax

2008-06-24T23:31:00.003+08:00

On this day when i had sufficient sleep, felt good leaving for work and met treehugger earlier to get some nice and cheap BK breakfast.
It HAD to be the day when my work load CLIMAXED, from being amped up and not sian of tuition later on totally sian of everything plus sleepy ( actually, everyday also sleepy) by 5pm. what a TOTAL DRAIN laaa. Lucky there was 酸梅娇 and Ashley helping me. heh, if not really would have been rushed dead. the yik being on MC made things worse. Grrrrr

Oh, learnt something from the morning BK experience today
--------------------------------------------
Regular Iced Milo = $2.30
Croissanwich + Iced Milo meal = $$2.35
--------------------------------------------
Tea =$1.95
Croissanwich + tea promo meal = $1.95
--------------------------------------------

Even if you cannot finish, just get the meal. Its 5c for a breakfast burger with Iced milo or free with tea. You can even try to mix and match around to get the cheapest combo.

Sneaky BK, trying to rip us offf

Great Deals of the weekend

2008-06-16T00:11:00.002+08:00

Wooo! Just came back from a run, thats 2 consecutive days of running and exercise!
Well, thats a record for me.

As usual the park had a few couples sitting around romantically under the moonlit skies until someone ran in huffing and puffing. Lucky no more damn fit ppl who who deproved to 20 pulls ups hanging around.

Oh well, just a short update. 2 great deals over the weekend! First off.... its a belt from River island for just......................... TEN DOLLARS.
Yeap, saw the previous price tags. From 53 to 40 and suddenly now to 10 bucks! hahah, My first steal of the GSS. As for today, it was a 4 gig sandisk thumbdrive from the PC show. Figured since uni would need one, so might as well get it. Its $38 for mine, could have been $26 but chose to go for the mid range one for its looks :)

Time to go bathe then sleep!

101st post!

2008-06-15T00:52:00.002+08:00

101st! Just cos 101 dalmatians popularised it ( i think so? )

Had an urging within me to go back to office to clear up some stuff since im free and sooo...... being the dedicated worker i am, who knows there wont a Best Temp of the year award..., went back to office today! But i barely lasted for 1 and a half hour and decided to escape that place to meet a friend, was dead quiet and sian with only 1 or 2 ppl there la!

However for past couple of days been quite a whirlwind, think was basically trying to readjust to having tuition again and so many other stuff! Til i made a Big decision.........

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

To give the Famine camp a miss and pass on my tribe to Yak. Yeap, Im a responsible guy k! Will only do smth like this when i know theres someone to takeover. Plus the fact that I do not wish to screw up the week after famine camp.
WHICH IS THE 2ND LAST WORK WEEK!!

Ok, dunno whether to feel happy or sad about that. No more work, no more pay, no more constant everyday contact with some of my colleagues, etc etc. Although for a few I'll still get to see em around in school.
(But of course, im sure our friendship will errr strengthen and last . RIGHT?????? Twiggy and TreeHugger????)

Sounded like im talking about 2 trees. oh well.

Just went for a longer than usual run. FINALLY, went running again after a 1 month fight with the inner devil to not run. Looks like it really is time to start running more, more more til 21 km! weeeee

GAAHHHH!!!...... and... its the 100th post!

2008-06-11T00:15:00.002+08:00

Came back from tuition just about an hour ago. Really is a freak weather la! In the midst of the calm and serene night, wind speed suddenly picked up and BOOM the gale literally started to blast through the windows. Things were literally 满天飞 . And the rain came.... : (

But the impt and rather frustrating thing is not this but the student's father! Old school military mindset, whole day going on about his days as a Warrant Officer, how he saw the Israelis do it and from those experience, how discipline should be induced. HIS way. No amount of mental drilling by me seemed to get through, the walls tortoising his mind have already hardened over time. Oh well, guess the only way i can do know is to encourage and help that tutee of mine to do well and prove him wrong! YES!

SO THAT AT LEAST THE 30 MINS SPENT TALKING FROM 1030PM WONT BE WASTED!!! GRRR

That explains why i reached home only at 1130. zzzzz, besides waiting for the rain to subside.

As for today at work..... learnt about the US SUBPRIME MORTGAGE CRISIS!. From dear Master WuGui himself who sooooo selflessly spend 30 mins explaining it to me through his i think should have gotten quite good grades project slides. Thanks! and that also explains why im praising his presentation slides. hahah!

And so after that explanation i've become the Master Shifu and started explaining it to the dude sitting beside me as though hes Po. Cant really say hes the Dragon warrior though. hahah, oops hope he doesnt see this.

By the way, Kung Fu Panda is a great show, oughta go give it a go!

(Ok hanming i demand freebies cos its a free advertisement : )

Life@OCBC

2008-05-31T23:21:00.002+08:00

Sounds like a promotional tagline huh.

The Sian factor of doing the same couple of mundane stuff over and over again at office took a Nose-dive a couple of weeks ago. Just when the NTU interns came in. yea, take note NTU not SMU, even though they came in around the same time.

Somehow the NTU ppl are a total ONE EIGHTY from that of the SMU guys. Just dont think i can really click with em. Ok maybe its cos I didnt really interact with the SMU ppl.
Anyway the Famine camp pre training proved this point further, the SMU ppl in my group are like......... hey! every morning you get to see a deer outside the tent! Isnt that cool?! As she proceeded to share more on her councillor adventures and SMU life plus lots of other stuff which the few of us cant seem to find smth to reply and continue the conversation.

Goodbye to the not so interesting 1hr lunches, occasional walking around to chat with Sijiao, Jasmine or Norma. Now its a big HELLO to near 2hr lunches and frequent exchanges between my desk, the Treehugger at the Fishtank and the Dragonboater who supposedly hates animals but likes lizards..... at the other side of the room. Thats on top of the previous talking cock haunts...

Plus a few interesting/ memorable happenings/quotes.
A classic one:
.
.
.
.
Ms DB: Its like who the hell knows what Leather is in Chinese la!
Me: Err 皮 lor..
.....followed by a short silence and a burst of laughter from the rest....

Disclaimer: To the Treehugger and Ms DB and esp Ms DB if they are reading this. The above entry is in due fun and all the name calling, etc are of course just for fun and i SINCERELY do NOT mean it..........yeap

Damn....the talent

2008-05-30T23:04:00.002+08:00

Taken from BGT

slick dance moves!

Britain really has got some serious talent in that huge island of theirs. From X factor to this.... wow

E

2008-05-26T00:22:00.001+08:00

its kinda nice to Emo once in a while.... yea..

Where do hamsters live in the wild?

2008-05-25T01:21:00.004+08:00

Indiana Jones! Just go in watch it and expect some old school adventurous fun and it sure wouldnt disapppoint. Doesn't really have the Oh...... revelation scenes in this show like in National treasure but overall its better! Just don't expect a thinker thats all.

Went to the part of boat quay just opposite ocbc to catch the opening performance for the singapore arts fest with the ex-cher, jel and jp. Didnt even know its called Water-fools til after reading jelvin's blog entry on it..... oh well I'd wager 80 percent of the ppl there dont't really know whats going on except to go WAAA when the cue to do so came in the form of colourful pyrotechnic/fireworks lighting up the dreamy boat quay area.

Couldnt see much cos we were behind the crowd, so we pretty much made up that 80 percent.

heh. Quite a number of ang mohs too, TALL ang mohs who like to stand in front and block us not so tall asians. should just stand behind mah since they are so tall, wouldnt make much of a diff for them anyway

Not a very good pic.... but yea, the best that i took....

Oh and where do hamsters live in the wild???? before we came along and domesticated them??? hmmmmm

To all out there

Root 3

2008-05-11T01:33:00.001+08:00

=Square Root Of 3=
I’m sure that I will always be

-Square root of 3-

A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,

Why must my three keep out of sight

Beneath the vicious square root sign,

I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,

with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321

Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,

Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,

Together now we multiply

To form a number we prefer,

Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds

With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued

Your love for me has been renewed

One last farewell... ...

2008-05-10T00:44:00.008+08:00

伤离别

离别虽然在眼前

说再见

再见不会太遥远

Yes today i forever bid farewell to a friend that stuck with me for the past 2 years plus. Though its a short time when placed in perspective, but it was a memorable 2 years. through my boring moments, and times in the army camp. Amidst all these times i found companionship, was brought a little silver glimmer of recluse to my life at that time, a momentary escape into a pocket space somewhere in my mind that is disjointed from all thats bad of this world.

However everything comes to an end, and this end I've foreseen.

Bbye Nn. All cold and near dead. Kinda weird name, but oh well.

Hi to N n 2.!

Ok, felt a bit bored just now and lazy to blog fully about tioman trip. But anyway here are some pics!

First day seashell haul

2nd Evening at TiomanAnd yea thats me in the middle with that strange fisherman's hat. got it for only about 4 dollars there

Think this was taken while we were on our snorkelling trip, one of the many beautiful isles there

-All good things come to an end.....

Would really hope to go back there again some time in the future, just a few days of pure relaxation with nothing much to worry about.

Just brings a smile to my face :)

The want that can't be sated

2008-05-06T00:39:00.003+08:00

Annnnnd.... thats referring to my sudden urge to blog about my tioman trip and a few thoughts zipping about my mind. Tardy but, oh well.

Think i shall leave it til tmr after tuition, before i get any sicker than now due to the lack of rest and an abundance of work.

My gift of foresight tells me that i ill be staying back in office plenty next week, in the dilapidated lil repository rummaging through dusty old files of filthy rich singaporeans/PRs living in fancy homes here.

Thats if the current condition doesnt become a full blown downtime for my body
: (

BACK!

2008-04-28T23:06:00.004+08:00

From the Sun, the sand, lush greenery and sapphire waters of Tioman!! wooohoooo. Kinda tired now, heh shall upload the pics another time soon when the mood is right.... but for now.....

This is NOT some picture ripped off the net :D

Glad or not??

2008-04-23T21:35:00.004+08:00

To have an xxxxxxx for e 2nd time..... or just open up. heh.

Maths question which the school teacher who gave it can't solve??? wow what a JOKE la. Should have suspected that the moment when the Great Amazing Tutor ( errhmmm, yours truly) couldn't solve a primary 5 maths question. The question must be rigged! yeaa, not even my niece's maths teacher could give her a solution to that. Bleah.

Thats the question above. ( though kinda uglyly drawn) the only other info is that the perimeter of one of the traingle is 24 cm. Find AB.

Bad question. Anyone who can solve that I'll gladly renounce my title of G.A.T.

Tioman in 1 days time!!! weeeeeee
But for now................dead beat.... again

2008-04-16T23:00:00.002+08:00

Out of Ordinary . Yea .

Of late, ive received comments like waaa how come u look so beng / dress like a beng.
Pls no!!! its not beng at all la!! More like slight wardrobe revamp, bit by bit since Sec school/ JC times.

And today........................桃花运？？ HAH. In bold, dont think thats the case.

AT ALL.

Noooooooooooo

2008-04-12T15:02:00.002+08:00

I think im officially SLIGHTLY RETARDED
after dunno how long since the blabberer labelled me with that title

Yea, feeling slightly only la. after my first driving lesson today 8(

My dear blog.....im back....!

2008-04-08T20:35:00.003+08:00

Last week was Packed, including the weekends. Not necessarily action packed but just jammed packed with activities.

Random events that i did

1) Played impromptu mahjong on friday night. Lesson learnt: NEVER continue playing after you have won some money and your friend offers to send u back if u play longer... ;(

2) Slept 3 hrs before going out for the rest of the day, culminating with dance lessons and birthday party to attend. Anyway happy late 21st to wai ching!! thank god no photos of me standing out there saying those stuff were taken! phew.

3) Saw a father stamping the upper deck bus floor in a bid to make it move faster and spewing vulgarities plus a gobble of spit at the end. No need to elaborate on what type of person that is.

4) Theres a stylish WHITE version of the W910i!! waaaa hope its possible to change colours by going to the SE service centre.

Virtually almost no time to rest, before i knew it its sunday and the next day its work day...... oh well thats life nowadays. Counting to weekends once again.

And for the first time.....spoke to a few ppl whom ive never interacted before with.......

Vote...

2008-03-30T22:42:00.001+08:00

And another post immediately after the previous one...

Vote for HIM as the most kissable guy on ch 5's new show.

Re-direction

2008-03-30T22:22:00.004+08:00

OK, this is gonna be a little post to type out a lil of my thoughts this afternoon.

Had a little meet up session with yok and kien chuan this afternoon for a short while before yok had to zoot off to the Rock for CHURCH SESSION. now seriously no offense but wow.... heh, shall not comment too much on that.

Anyway, had sort of nice refreshing and self explorative chat with Kien chuan while walking around. probably not so for him i think, just that it made me think and some how find a re-direction in what i should be doing. Not in the usual sense of what course/job to do in the future, but rather like what i should DO. ok fine not sure in how to put it into words. oh well. Yup, and from now I should be going back to what i was doing happily during Secondary School. Also am very proud and amazed at the stage my sec school's IT infrastructure has advanced to now in terms of Apple Mac Integration. Compulsory macbook at sec 1, apple service n support in school, movie studio, etc.

Nope, not only 3D/some design stuff. but IT in general, find the tech savviness back. Integrate it into whatever i do now and in the future. Immediate sight now is University, projects, presentations. Thats when it would probably first happen.

All in all it sounds so simple and bleah, tasteless? Im always thinking in odd and complex ways which sometimes i might need time to really understand and complete the thought cycle. Might be the case due to my ineptness with words as always impeding/ affecting me in other aspects too...

But thats what i have in mind , this slight redirectional focus which i gained today. And for this im glad and thank kien chuan for it. heh. Oh and for all you generalist stick in the mud mindset ppl out there. This doesnt mean NERD.

Time to get back the Savvy i say

Miss Swan

2008-03-29T22:41:00.000+08:00

Miss Swan from Mad TV! go search for her online over at youtube, this is just one of many other retarde videos with her. hahah

JC congregation

2008-03-27T23:53:00.002+08:00

Today must be JC gathering day at Kovan. Walking home frm Kovan after tuition, just the outside alone saw TJ, CJ, RJ, NY students already. Inside Heartland mall itself AJ, SA and SR joins in the fun.
Then while i was queuing up for my fav WAFFLES with cheese, 2 girls n 1 guy behind me ( all frm diff jc ) started talking about their life in JC. At that point FWAAa a wave of nostalgia and yearning for the school days smacked me squarely in the head. I so want to go back schooling where my only worry is just to study and do well!! not work and with so many auto attached fears that comes with earning money : (

PT/PE lessons

2008-03-23T18:48:00.004+08:00

Hip Hop dance lessons are JUST LIKE THAT. the warm ups were like stretching my muscles everywhere to the MAX la!! aching and sore now, but oh well. at least ill probably learn to dance a little and a tad fitter too : )

Dont laugh K, time for me to try out smth new

2008-03-16T23:33:00.004+08:00

Rowling conceived harry potter on a train, and i just gave birth to a simple lil equation of mine on the MRT.

Lets see, how do we judge the value of something you buy? Why not break it down into this.
Lets say for a bag which costs $36.50, we shall reduce its value into how long do you think you would use it for. Simply divide the cost by that. ( standard unit being days? yea)

1 year maybe? so that gives rise to the fact that the bag simply costs 10 cents a day. Hmmmmm, lets set the 'Bags' benchmark value for money rate to be 15 cents a day. So.... anything more than 15 cents a day would cross into the not value for money range? Not that wise to get something within that range.

Therefore............for those looking to get a LV, Burberry, (any high end brand) bag. Go smack yourself in the head before getting it cos i just had my maiden trip into the LV shop out of curiosity and a simple bag costs $3400.
Go figure.

Of course different value for money rates(indices) should be applied to different products( cars, houses, etc) and there will be some kind of diminishing effect on the rate to the left and right of the dividing border between value for and not value for money, durability, rarity and various other factors.

For foodstuffs, the standard unit of time should probably be measured in terms of mins.

To all those who bothered to read this and understood, ok good. To those who dont....errr im just trying to frame this sudden thought out using my not so very good english.

Step it up!

2008-03-14T23:19:00.004+08:00

Step up 2! wanted to watch this show ever since it was announced : )

Ok oops thats for the first show, lazy to take out since i intended to include that inside anyway

The finale dance scene out in the streets during The Streets itself when it conveniently poured to give that extra flair and swish swosh smoothness to their adrenaline pumping dance routine. Oh and channing tatum is still the best with the moves! despite having only a short cameo part in the 2nd show. However ,fom the magical fusion of classical ballet and street dance of the first to the pure street action of the second, somehow it gave me the feeling that this one i geared more towards the younger crowd. ok im not old, just not as young as the teens.

A definite must watch show, agree with Blabber tt this is nicer and less boring than the first but still miss the amazing chemistry between the leads of the first step up. 2 different genres i suppose.

Soooo feel like watching it again. heh.

IM GONNA GO LEARN HIP HOP. YEA.

Dark vortex

2008-03-10T00:09:00.002+08:00

Alright, managed to pull myself out of the mini vortex emo/ brooding/ etc whatever it is that took over me last week. its bad foe health/ evil and nope its not the reminiscent kind where you feel all nice and fuzzy thinking back.

Anyway......... just makin this a short post after last night's mahjong session. I ACTUALLY WON! even though its only 10cents . Yea, my first time even winning something. hahah, at least now i can think faster on that addictive four cornered table of a money sucking pit. alright, maybe its cos i played with ppl who only just learnt it later than me. But still, had to fight through all that beginner's luck! haha Picked up quite a few tips too

: )

How exciting

2008-03-07T23:46:00.003+08:00

hahahah, a friend XXX is on duty back at his camp, X X Camp. It so happens that today a few hours back he was informed that a HOST of XXX number of XXXXXXX soldier unit is going to arrive at the camp and stick around for a while to assist in the search for XXX.

Wow. Think he should go buy 4D tmr since hes so lucky to be doing duty on such a fateful day.

No Mood

Yea, thats it. The mood now is just No Mood. period

BeWildermenttt

2008-03-05T23:39:00.002+08:00

In the past weeks finally felt and understood WHY people say theres so much backstabbing and in your face attacks in the world. Email is such a powerful tool la. In almost everyday mailings in a nice tall In Singapore, one must always know how to fully use Outlook as your sword/shield and more importantly your Bow.
The To: field is for you to specify who your attack target is, for example auntie X.

CC: simply allows you to insert a simple but effective strategy into your attack. Attacking from both the inside and the outside. In addition that it also shields your somewhat. So that Auntie X would get shot in the face by you and her Supervisor, however after that she would be unable to retaliate in full force due to the fact that her supervisor and YOUR supervisor are included in the CC list. Sword, shield, curving arrow all fully maximised

BCC: are just 100% stealth ninja attacks which appear out of nowhere to poke you from somewhere unknown. Most despicable of the attacks, since the target won't even know this guy is included in the FYI mailing list.

The rest of the strategy from then on lies in how you forge and weave the fantastical spear of a mail in the form of its content and words used.
One thing you learn from work, and in a short span too. Why? cos you NEED to.

Oh well, onto other stuff. Bewilderment is what i feel know. Simply cannot understand and explain the sudden 180 degree change. Can someone tell me what happened??

Evasive

2008-03-03T00:04:00.003+08:00

I shall learn from a certain Babbler and activate evasive maneuvers, althought i dont think its really needed at this point. And wont waste time at all aruging with ppl who cant get what others say into their head and try to slap u from behind the tall lil bush hedge encirlcing them.

Finally understood 100% why the B did those then.
All hail him.

meme

2008-02-23T22:28:00.002+08:00

Lazy o me as usual loves to procrastinate. Yup, so here it is after been slapped with a tag by the babbler (renamed ) for the following meme (?? huh ? whats that? don't know too)

Rules for the meme are as follows :

Link to the person who tagged you ( must i? nahh)
Post the rules on your blog.
Share seven random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog.
Tag seven random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
Leave a comment on their blogs so that they know they have been tagged.

Ok shall start it off NOW. I.....

Fantasise CONSTANTLY.....(not what you think it is)....that i have some sort of superpower, the type of power varies according to my mood at that time.
Have evolved from very likeable, quiet and guai me when very young to very noisy in Primary school onwards to a slightly introverted self in Secondary school before morphing to a very outward me in JC and continued to charge down that path even now...
But one quality remains the same since i was very young 8)
Treasures friends, especially close friends, and loyal to them, even though might not really show it some time. Can't same the same for a few of them though.
Am hoping for the special one to drop by and say hi! im finally here!
Can switch in a flash from the normal me to a very formal me with only carefully chosen replies using the best of what i can offer linguistically in 2 languages. This is somewhat similar to the Babbler in a way.
Am very random. In speech/ sometimes action and what i think.

And so this shall be passed on to.....

Just remembered and suddenly felt like doing it after reaching home.

Oh and today was Singing session from 1 to 7. Not what i really liked at first though, somehow i sounded so soft i couldnt hear myself amidst the shouting and the very good speaker system. Quite a lot of errrr....old and not my type of songs too. but at least it picked up towards the end. Shall continue to strive and improve my singing! : )

Crazy

2008-02-20T23:46:00.003+08:00

I should be crazy these 2 days. seriously like doing smth thats so not me? at least the old me which i knew wouldnt do it. Too aggressive i say. hope it pays off in one way or another. heh

'what the hell am i thinking???'

ok just wanted to say this, not meant to be understood by anyone except tt one sitting beside me at work.

Sick

2008-02-18T14:34:00.001+08:00

Here i am back from half a day of work, on Medical Leave! ok shouldnt rejoice. Head pain, throat inflammed(slightly) and nose blocked. every cough feels like my head just banged by a car. ouch. Shall update about past few days events later. Time to rest now...

REVIVAL

Bird fluttering over its nest

2008-02-14T23:20:00.003+08:00

What a dead tiring week this is. All the rest from the 4 days were put to GOOD use on Monday, super busy, continued to tuesday, but wednesday was the start of the super super unlucky bout! Reached Dhoby at 7pm hoping to reach home early, but guess what NEL had problems Again. Ants swarming around at the NEL platform.

People who still believed that the next train is gonna come in the next 10 mins and were thinkig like hey! who knows it might even be empty?? Lucky i didnt have such disillusions. wahahaha Immediately walked back to take the red line. Took the Wrong direction somemore! arghhh, had to take back from City hall to Toa Payoh in the end. it doesnt end here, missed my bus at TP and had to wait a whole 30 mins before im back home near 9pm..... and nope no students for me to control like that relief teacher or acting like a mental patient the whole day. Just paper work is enough.

Yea and the thought of weekends coming is enough to rejuvenate me for one more day :) plus the free Birdnests and Hashima that i won in office today! hahah, how heng.

And single me can only sit here at home and say Happy Valentines to couples out there!! on my blog : (

...

2008-02-06T21:39:00.000+08:00

Well.... Don't know what would be a suitable title for this. yup.

Chinese New Year, yup. That period where the unmarried go around happily visiting and collecting ang baos, of course you have to be unmarried and young to do so.
Or you can have the skin of an elephant, works either way.

For me, its just quite the same for these few years. A time to rest and relax, WITHOUT the house visiting!! YES! I abbhor house visiting, just going around smiling to everyone. Saying congratulatory phrases befitting of the festivity ( most common of which is 恭喜发财 , after all most ppl say that Just to nab a lil red packet right? ), I'd rather skip all these rituals and do what i FEEL LIKE doing during these few days. So here i am at home, and will be too for the next few days. Lack of relatives (geographically close ones too) coupled with the inherent detest for house visiting seems to be the reason.

Nope i dont think its sad at all, except for the part where u get fewer ang baos. You might think that its like a form of premature ageing, to not enjoy CNY, but I'd prefer to look at it as....learning to do what you want and not what the event dictates you to do. Sometimes i even wonder if im not married by 30 what would i do during CNY! hahah, cant stay at home for the rest of my life during that day right? never arrived at an answer though.

Anyway......
.
.
.

Past week and a half has been quite a no rest week, mostly reaching home after 10 during weekdays followed by work. Rinse Repeat and Rejoice, and so the exhaustion/fatigue builds up and rolls along. Can't blame anyone else. But the dinner on monday was really good, had it with my army branch mates at Hanabi. You guessed it, a Jap restaurant. Plus you get a complimentary lobster for every 2 ppl! Buffet price per person is also not that ex, 33++ for good quality food. Not bad i say, after that we started moulding plans for the next outing to spend the money we got for the QFR idea during the Army open house. most probably would be Fullerton! seems like one of the few places where you can really dump money at for a meal. So... looking forward to that!

*Noticed that the last paragraph is kinda disjointed. oh well.

Observation

2008-02-03T22:42:00.000+08:00

Currently im witnessing a standoff between a malay couple on a car and a motorcyclist. The motorcyclist was initially blocking the way of the car, moving forward to continue to be in its way whenever the car tried to back off and turn. Then the motorcyclist gave way and procedded to park in an available slot.

Car's turn for revenge.

Yup, the car mvoed in to block the path of the motorcyclist and the couple stepped out. (was kinda hoping there would be a confrontation... ) But the driver took his driver's seat floor mat and went ahead to dust it just right to the side of the cyclist. Kinda anti climatic yea i know.

Follow the chicken when you marry the chicken. Wife did the same thing too. Its still happening as im typing this. heh. shall update again when something more....out of the ordinary pops up.
