No Laptop

2008-04-02T21:20:00.002+08:00

Finally managed to spend time using the internet. A few days since I last used the internet since I lent my laptop to my sis's friend for 2 weeks. Managed to spend a bit of time to use my bro's laptop while he is busy with his TV.

Met up with Derek on Friday for dinner. Sigh. It seems like his mdm has some really big problems against him and i guess it is really hard for him. But how? I guess this is life and we just cant run away from the problems. I really miss the days when I was just a kid, not that I am a super old man now, but thinking back about the wonderful days I had as a kid... I really miss it.

I guess we are not as innocent as what we were, and this is definitely true for my case. Sometimes I wonder why I do certain things, but i know this is what the subconscious mind is telling me. As we grow older, as we leave college, we see people, we see different people. I saw people who just hated me, like what I did to someone else in the past. I saw people who backstabbed me, like what I thought no one would have done to me. I have learnt. I have grown. I know how to be a hypocrite. I know how to switch faces. I know I need to suck-up to people and do things that I don't like. Say that I am a sucker I don't care. I say this is public relations. Things and experiences that I went through made me like this. Go through the same things I went through you will most likely do the same. Survival. The word is survival. To survive, I need to do all these.

Met up with Bear and JJ during weekend. Trained to Tampines to get JJ's new specs, then headed to Marina Square for dinner at Kenny Rogers. Lots of chatting at McCafe, before we went to catch a late movie - Vantage Point. Hmm... show was quite okay.

Sunday spent the day 'sao mu - ing". Morning went to bedok area with parents and bro to meet up my auntie to go temple pray my maternal grandparents. Afternoon, headed to balestier to pray my paternal grandfather and grandauntie/uncle. 'saomu' these years is so different as to when I was still a little kid, where the graves were still not excavated at Choa Chu Kang. Everyone on the chartered bus, chatting, on the bumpy ride.... I miss those times....

It seems like 'saomu' doesn't really carry anymore meaning these days. Such a big family, and only a pathetic few attend to this. Busy? Excuse bah. It it was a top priority, there is no reason to be unable to attend. I guess in maybe 2 more generations, 'sao-mu' will no longer be a neccesity at all!

OFF

2008-03-27T18:15:00.001+08:00

Off day today. Got quite a few things that I planned to do today.

Near noon, went to parents' stall to help. Sigh! The coffeeshop boss decided to rent the shop to someone else for $10,000, and in order for him not to do so, each of the current stall will need to pay an extra rent of $500 monthly. Definitely a NO-WAY for such a dilapidated coffeeshop. Parents were still deciding what to do. Should they just quit, and mum stays at home while dad goes out to bring back the bacon, or as what mum suggested boldly, hahaha both of then just retired. Ok, i know my parents are not too old, both less than 50, so I guess they would be bored to death if they retired, but knowing that they have done so much, I believe it's just right for them to take a break. Yesterday, they was discussing whether to quit for the time being and just travel around the world, before coming back to find another suitable location to set up a new stall. Talking of travelling, argh! parents and bro going to china during the june holidays, and argh! I am not included, yes again, like the previous Taiwan trip tt they went end of last yr!!!! ROARS! Anyway back to the stall issue, mum and dad just told me they managed to hunt for a stall somewhere near the current one but that's $300 more per month. I believe they will settle for this bah....

Today, I also went back to WISMA to exchange for a shirt that I bought last friday. The size wasn't right and so managed to go back there to exchange on this very last day of the 7-days policy.

And yeh! I finally went to driving centre to register for my lessons for school. And this means that my driving lessons will start all over again real soon. And yes, Derek had his practical test today, and yeh! he passed! Congrats!

Managed to contact the company which I subscribed my National Geographic magazines in May 07. Till date, I have yet to receive my 1st issue when the payment has been made like 10 months ago!!! And the staff promised to call me back, and she didn't. Okay... I am going to flood the line again tomorrow until I receive my magazines!!!

Did some window shopping at J8 alone. Didn't managed to find the 2 things on my to-buy-list. Headed back home after tt.

Rainy day, spoilt my plan for a swim today.

Going for my ECA later at 7.

Weekend.... coming up.... Yeh!

Guilty, So Guilty

2008-03-22T17:31:00.000+08:00

I always have a sense of guilt after spending my money.

Went out with Bro for some shopping.

First stop: Orchard. Combed the whole orchard road. Bought 2 shirts from Wisma, $39.95 each. Snacked at far east, tt's another $5. Didn't buy anything else along orchard road. Interested in some, but the price was a ....

Dinner was Japanese Ramen at Kyo-Nichi located at Marina Square. Tt's another $34.20. It was very filling though, although later I thought perhaps we should have ate at say maybe Long John's Silver or a food court. Bought a berms at Marina Square for $28.90. Now to think of it, the berms don't really suit me. OOPs!

Next, we trained down to Bugis. At bugis junction, bought another berms for $32.90. Haha this berm i really like a lot man! Also bought a pair of skinny jeans at $69. Nice!

For the whole trip, bro got 2 tees and a pair of shoes.

My total bill for yesterday - $249.90

ARGH! Thought I bought a lot of stuff, but upon coming back home, it seems like nothing much. Hahha. Didnt realised how much I spent until I looked at all the receipts when I came back home. This is the problem when u dont pay hard cash but use a card instead.

Shit lah! Still got so many things on my to-buy-list, yet being a person with such a low income, argh!!!!!

This explains why I am at home on this wonderful saturday, and I guess it will be the same for tomorrow as well.

To shop

2008-03-20T22:34:00.001+08:00

I can't wait for tomorrow to come.
A shopping day.

Life is so vulnerable

2008-03-16T22:05:00.003+08:00

Saw today's WanBao, received Julyen's msg.
Found out tt JunLun passed away due to heart failure.
A 21-yr old nsf who just ord-ed 2 weeks ago,
A nice driver who often drove me to mindef for despatch...
A young man who just left us.

This is a reminder to all, to appreciate and value our life, and the people around us more.

2008-03-16T14:37:00.001+08:00

DAMN IT! SOME IDIOT GUY STOLE MY 46 BUCKS HAVAIRANAS SLIPPERS! SHIT HIM!

I am slipperless now.

2008-03-16T00:41:00.001+08:00

Went to look for Dr Chong on wednesday morning at National Skin Centre. I always enjoy going for medical appointment there cos he is really very friendly, and the fact tt it was 9am on a weekday morning, there wasn't many patients there. The only thumbsdown was tt the weather wasnt so nice, it was raining. Dr Chong commented tt my face improved and so the pills tt i take everyday can now be cut down to onli one a day. YEH! ahhha. However, i still complaint to the doctor tt my pores were very big and there were like so many scars! He gave me a "This NSF is seeing the doctor with the SAF money, face already improved yet still so picky" face and then recommended me to use another night cream instead of the one tt i was using, and to cut down on the morning cream. Just applied my night cream. Hahahah can imagine the cream taking effect on my face and closing my pores..... hahha i am crazy. Shit. I am turning so freaking vain. Someone pls stop me.

Yesterday, ie friday, met up with Bear, Wong JJ and Daniel. Bus-ed with JJ to meet Bear first at Thomson's Longhouse for dinner at about 7.30pm. Although ate pizza at home before i met them, can't resist the temptation of food and so makan again. While waiting for Daniel to come, cos he booked out late, going home to eat, shower..., 3 of us proceeded to Liquid Kitchen. Daniel joined us at about 10pm. Meanwhile we had a drink there, and hahha snacked again. Shit!

After daniel came to drink, we decided to proceed to amk for 10,000bc at 12am. ahaha cos i guess the alcohol kicked in and so both bear and i were super high and laughed non-stop. Couldnt control, just keep laughing. Hhahah Daniel and JJ were like the other extreme, a bit stoning kind. hahha. Bus-ed to amk, washed my face and i was back to normal and we bought 4 tixs to the show. We didnt noe tt the tixs were 10 dollars each and since we saw a package for 4 tt has 4 tixs with 2 popcorns and 2 drinks at onli $43.60, it means more worth it to get the package. But then by the time we realised, we got the tixs le. Bear and I decided to make a fuss to the counter with a different person tt served us previously saying tt they made a mistake and gave us the wrong thing when we actually wanted the package. Hahha we even gave the pissed look, as if they were really at fault. Hahaha now to think of it, i can't help but to laugh at wat we actually did!

After movie at about 2am, 4 of us cabbed home and yes, showered then into dreamland!!!!

Today, ie saturday, woke up at about 7am with my routine stuff..... After at about 3pm met up with Derek and Julyen for a K session at Partyworld. Nice session at Orchard, followed by a really really full inner at Kenny Rogers at Marina Square. Did some window shopping cos non of us managed to get anything, Dessert was next. Yummy yummy icecream at Andersons. Trained home at 10pm.

2morow, erm it is today since it's over 12am le, will be a rest day for me. Gonna make sure I get enough rest before the start of another challenging week. Swimming has already been penned down in my to-do-list and maybe if time permits, some shopping too! Muahahah.

I realise my mp3's 2gb space is really pathetic. Can easily at a 16gb at the same price. WTH! ARGH!

Tt's all for now. Time to zzzZZ.

2008-03-13T22:28:00.000+08:00

I know there are some people out there who hate me, or at least dislike me

There is nothing I can do

And there is nothing I am willing to do

Just put yourself in my shoe and you will understand

Hopefully

2008-03-11T22:51:00.000+08:00

Samsung P2 - After much consideration, bought this for myself. $299 for 2gb. wanted the 4gb one but cos limited $$ so decided to settle for this. was interested in this when i first say it at vivo last weekend. Didnt want to buy it on impulse and so took some time to think about it. Couldnt resist it anymore yesterday but was too lazy to go back to vivo. Managed to come across the same one at Courts TPY after my very very wonderful swim yesterday at safra tpy. Oh man! I was surprised by the amount i managed to swim. Muahahha... Very very soon.... byebye tummy.... Muahahhaa

2008-03-10T16:31:00.000+08:00

A new week has begun!

Friday

Got a chance to see the MO regarding my back problem. Brought my x-ray but he totally didnt bother to see and apparently i seem tt he don't think i had a problem but was rather trying to "Keng". Anyway, he gave me 3 months excuse from Orderly duty. Sigh! this means i have to make another trip to the medical centre 2 mths plus later to extend it. Hopefully I dont get the same MO again cos from wat i hear from others, he is very stingy in giving out excuse for duties.

Evening met up with Bear, Daniel and Wong JJ at j8 for Spiderwick at 9.10. Had a good chat with Bear. Finally found one who can understand what i have been thinking. Supper was at MacDonald's. Hahha it seems that whenever we go out at night, our supper always end up to be at Mac.

Meeting my buddies again this coming weekend. Can't wait! Hhahaa

Saturday

After my usual routine, went to my parents stall for lunch before bringing the little chinaboy at the drink's stall to meet my sis at tpy mrt. Each of us had a $50 funfair coupon for the fair at PHS cos someone came to the coffeeshop to sell a few weeks back and mum decided to buy them.

As expected, there was quite a bit of crowd. Lots of games and food stall. Hahaha although it seemed childish, I played the 'throw the slipper into the hole' and 'hit the mothball' games. Wanted to play more but was sort of a bit embarrassed since I was the only one sticking out of the queue of little young kids. Also played the game "An4 Fa1 Xian4 Chang3 Duo3 Mao1 Mao1" (like the taiwan show on ch u). Only managed to find 7 out of 10 for the game tt lasted only 4 minutes. hahaha. So aunties were scoring like 10/10 hahah cos they played the game so many times and so they knew the answers! hahaha

Since we had like so much coupons and the fact tt I had my lunch already, we didnt really know what to do with the coupons. Didnt have any idea wat to do with the coupons and passed them all to sis. She bought some hello kitty stuff, some female accessories, many many donuts, many cupcakes and 20 packets of candy floss. Hahahha

Evening met up with Julyen and Derek for dinner at Cartel at PS. I was late. Oops. Dinner was on Derek, afterwhich we headed down to Vivo. Derek wanted to get his WII game but couldnt find it. He only managed to buy his controller stuff tt adds up to more than a hundred bucks. Julyen got himself a SAMSUNG MP3 which cos 199 bucks if i am not wrong. Then we headed for a drink at coffeebean till eleven plus. Hahha this time round it was Julyen's treat. So end up I didnt spend a single cent tt night, unless if u include the amount I use to top up my ez-link card. Time for my treat the next time we meet up!

Sunday

Still went for my orderly duty, cos didnt want to activate my standby, hahah who is actually Zong Yao. Duty was overall ok, but i guess I was super shagged and so when i came back home this morning at 9 plus am, slept all the way from 10am to 2.30pm.

Slept a bit too much I guess, plus with the rain, a lot of things tt i had previously planned to do have to be cancelled.

-----

Considering whether to go SMU or NTU.

Both offers double degree in Biz and Acc.

Which one?

2008-03-06T23:06:00.000+08:00

Terima Kasih
Hingga Berjumpa Lagi

(Tank you, Till we meet again)

Had my last lesson for Malay last night. Only 4 turned up.
Must say I did learn some Malay stuff during the 12 lessons.
All the common words, but come to constructing proper sentences... hahah I still Cannot Make It.

Haha

Something to share... Was wearing my new pair of black shoes to camp yesterday, the new pair tt i bought from emart the day before. The stupid guy over here forgot to remove the small pack of 'silicon' (those small little things in a small pack) from one of the shoe and wore it to work. Only realised it while walking into camp. and by the time i reached office... i rubbed a tear in the pack and all the little silicon thingie were rolling in my shoe. STUPID hahaha

I guess my emo period is gone le and these 2 days I am feeling much better.
On off today. Morning went to Mount Alvernia Hospital to see the doctor regarding my back problem. Decided to see private instead of government hospital cos i guess gov will take a long time bah. Asked the doctor about my condition cos it seems like getting bad to worst. Asked about how bad can it become, he said the bone will press again the nerves and tt will mean my lower part of the body will become numb and most likely can't move. So I asked about surgery which seemed to be very troublesome and he said tt it was still not necessary for my current stage. Just have to make sure I practise proper sitting habits and stuff like tt. Ok... just like my sis, I have been instructed to swim at least twice a week to strengthen my back muscle. Great to noe tt I can still crack my back. I cannot be deprive from this!!! Went to take an X-ray, 4 to be exact at the basement. Good to noe tt I need not strip off everything but still have my underwear on if not will be so malu lah when the female nurse ... This reminds me of my X-ray experience 2 yrs plus back. Damn! At tt time I was totally not wearing anything lah, except the super loose gown tt i didnt wear properly and ended up reveal my NOT-SO-IMPRESSIVE erherm.... The nurse at tt time was giving me a super werid expression lah. Anyway tt time I was still going through puperty and so... But wait, now it is still not impressive leh. Hahhaha I am asian. That's all i have to say....

Spent the whole morning at the hospital. Managed to ask for an excuse letter from the doctor for my orderly duty. Hopefully I got time tomorrow to go down to the Medical Centre to see the Army MO to get my excuse from duty. Sigh! Got one duty this sunday lah! SIANZ!~

And yah... the appointment with the doctor cos 198 dollars. Kaching! Money gone... AGAIN!

Anyway, after the appt, headed down to parents stall to help before heading home for a nap. Too lazy to make a trip down to the driving centre to settle my driving stuff. Decided to do it next monday instead.

After nap, decided to take my doctor's advice to go for a swim at SAFRA tpy. First time there, the pool was small but I guess I will go to that same pool there next time round instead of the public pool in tpy since I was the only one inside the pool lah. I even have a personal lifeguard! Hahhaha. And the shower was shiok. Got heater and soap somemore. Maybe I am just too suaku.

Good start today. More exercising coming up. Dono if I would be able to squeeze another swim into Sat afternoon, or else will have to wait till monday le.

For a healthier me.... JIAYOU JIAYOU JIAYOU! yEH!

2008-03-03T21:27:00.001+08:00

This is life i guess...

2008-03-02T11:45:00.002+08:00

I am seriously pissed with the life that I am having now. Nothing seems to be getting right.

Just a minute ago, had a super bad quarrel with bro. I seriously don't understand, I don't know what's wrong with him, I don't know what's wrong with me. When did he become like this? Why did he become like this? Scolding vulgarities like this. Cursing tt I die. Cursing my parents die. I don't know why things turn out like this. What happened? What caused him to be like this? Why? I am crying deep inside me, cos it really hurts me deep inside. I have no idea what to do. I am at a loss.

Why are things so complicated. Just this morning, I was pissed enough. Signed up to help out for NYJC 2-day camp this coming thur and fri, and so was supposed to attend the 2 day-course yesterday and today. Army had this mobilisation thingie the whole day and so wasn't able to go yesterday. Told the person-in-charge, she said it was ok, but apparently today when I reported, I was told to leave. I was told to leave cos I didn't come in yesterday. Damn! I told the girl earlier, whom i duno who, cos i cleared my inbox and sent items this morning on my way back to nyjc. She said it was ok if i never go for the first day. And yet, when i happily reported today, I was told " You never come yesterday and so you have to leave..." wat the...? Ok. I have no black-and-white as to who the hell told me that it was ok for me to still go today. Bloody hell. I took the initiative to call Yvonne yesterday to ask her wat exactly they went through yesterday and even stayed up later last night to reflect on the stuff tt was needed for today. Afraid tt I wld oversleep, I set 2 alarms this morning. And yet, in front of so many people, I was told to leave. Hey, can you be more appreciative. I tried my best to come, and I even applied 2 days leave for this camp, and yet this is how i am treated. Whatever. I don't care anymore. I am not going to bother myself anymore.

I need a break. I need time alone. . .

2008-03-01T22:22:00.002+08:00

Oops! I wasn't angry with you or anything. Was just pissed by my lazy attitude. It's only tt u knocked some sense into me. Thanks! :D

2008-02-28T22:23:00.000+08:00

I cannot stand my driving instructor.
I cannot stand my useless-ness.

I have decided.
After getting so much advice.

I am going to restart all my driving lessons, from scratch.

Going for school instead of private.

Going cancel my April Test.

Say I am useless.

I don't care.

Wasted 600/700 bucks.

I don't care.

I am still menopausing.

Damn! Got caught for long hair today by one of the RPs. Hopefully no serious punishment. Managed to go get a haircut before going for the 4-student Malay Class.

Tired. But the coffee is keeping my eyes opened.
Argh!

2008-02-26T22:40:00.000+08:00

Saturday after my driving lessons, went down to the CC for a "WELCOME CHINGAY PROCESSION". Cos the floats will be making their way down the road later tt night, there was this buffet thing tt my parents bought 4 tixs to, and so my bro and i joined them. I was freaking hungry but then the food wasnt warm and so we waited quite some time there, stoning and stoning. Dad was busy talking and talking and somehow he started publicising to everyone if anyone needed tuition for their kids. Oh God, I am busy enough and now he is going to get for me a new student to teach. I will die lah! Plus this guy who is interested wanted me to teach chinese. Oh!!!! Anyway, if he calls me, i will be pushing it away. Hmm.... wait a minute, or perhaps i shoudl just take tt student, since he is just primary 3....

My very 'helpful' dad volunteer his sons to help and so I was busy explaining and distributing the survey forms to the residents there regarding a upgrading programme for the tpy community. Was totally ok with the job at first, but ended I felt as if i was a property agent, kena rejected by so many people lah. Some say they don't live here (which is totally not true cos i see them almost everyday), others say they are not free when the survey just needs 1 min to take. Hey! I am not trying to gather votes for some anti-government thinggie lah! why everyone siam me?!!!!

Anyway when the food was warm, we started serving the people. Wat a great relief tt i dont have to go around asking people to fill the pathetic survey tt no one dares/bothers to fill in. Dad was so enthusiatic when he heard tt he could help. He always love to be involved in such things. I love to chap this type of stuff but definitely not for the same reason tt my dad gives me. He said "aiyo, you must help in all these grassroots stuff, cos next time u become MP or wat......" I am seriously not interested to go into politics! hahaha

Finally after waiting a super long time, the floats came and we followed the floats to tpy amphitheatre. Wah! Never see tpy so pack before, everyone packed the area and whoooo! the crowd was so pack like tt of a countdown at chinatown for cny!!! After the floats segment, hahaha Lucky Draw time! OK... not tt i like to boast, but seriously the joy of winning in a lucky draw is not as fantastic now as compared to the past. We won the 3rd prize, an electric fan. Hahhaa Auntie Mary who volunteers her service in the CC says tt next time when got lucky draw must cut away our coupon so tt we cant fight with the rest for the prizes.

-----

Sunday! Sigh! the useless guy here decided to cancel his driving lesson for the day. Sigh! I got a phobia to drive. It seems tt ever since tt time when i hit a taxi, i always come to the situation where i almost hit a pedestrian or a motorbike. I seriously need more practice but the thought of driving scares me. Perhaps I am really useless and timid. I guess I really need to overcome my mental barrier before I can hope for a pass in my practical exams.

Spent my morning till noon with family a temple praying to my maternal grandma. Afternoon was a really nice K session at K box with my Dajie, Erjie and Bro.

-----

Monday! Lunchtime went to Northpoint with Mdm Esther, Mdm Linda, Mdm Lee and Zong Yao to help Mdm Esther choose a printer from Harvey Norman. Luckily I pulled Zong Yao along with me, or else just me alone, a compueter idiot, wouldnt noe how to advise! And damn! At the carpark, as I come out from Mdm Esther's car, I hit the "Low roof" (okay... there is a term for it but it slipped my mind..) and argh!!! Baluku... now still very pain lah.

Jia Liang is back from MINDEF, but that means Derek will be leaving us to another unit. Sigh!

Stayed back for overnight duty on Monday, was freezing cold in the aircon room. Forgot to bring my jacket along...

---photos will upload another time, need to sleep---

2008-02-23T16:42:00.000+08:00

I am feeling so freaking moody and I have no idea when my menopausing will stop. Another few days of kena scolding by superiors. For some I tell myself to be more careful, not to make the same mistakes, while for some I kena for no reasons. For one, it was everyone's fault or maybe it was actually some stupid miscommunication prob and yet I still kena alone. I guess I need to go Bai Bai or something really soon.

Tuesday didnt go out for ECA, or in fact all my siblings make sure we were at home with our parents as we awaited the arrival our super unwelcome guests. Just wanted to listen to wat they had to say but apparently my Dad alone wasn't enough to outdo them and we siblings joined into the 'fight'. I guess I was really fierce then. Hahah even Dad got a shock and asked me later tt night if I was alright. I guess I needed to release all my anger at work, and look, since you give me a chance, hahha I will do so! I guess now they really hates me, and they were all giving me the "I HATE YOU TO THE CORE" look tt night. As expected, no finalised conclusion and everything was pushed to a later date. Now, anything that they want, speak to the lawyer, period. I am imagine them cursing me now! Hhahaha

Wednesday's Malay Lesson was the 3rd last lesson and only 4 turned up for the lesson. If I was the teacher, I guess I will be super sad lah. No one bothers to come for your lesson, but then since money will still come in.... hmmm who cares!? hahaha 2 more lessons before I have free time on wednesday. Then, I will be able to start the 2 online courses tt I signed up WEEKS ago! Hahhahaha

Been busy mugging the vcds tt i borrowed from zong yao every night. Hahha 2 more discs before I finished this serial tt i am watching. Will finish it tonight. Yeh! No special plans this weekend. No money, no talk. Having driving lessons both later today and tomorrow, hahaha no extra money to go have fun! ARGH! Hopefully I can drive better lah! PLS!

Okay, I need go for a shower first before going for my driving lessons.
Maybe blog again soon when I have the time... or maybe till next weekend...
Sigh! Got the stupid overnight duty on monday...

2008-02-18T20:59:00.006+08:00

Another challenging day. Sigh! Can't seems to get things right. Things isn't really good in this rat yr and i guess i have to put in more effort to keep myself away from trouble.

Anyway, half day work today. Was having our Br's Cohesion Activity cum CNY Celebrations at Chinatown. The 3 officers who drove us there had a hard time finding a carpark lot! 1st stop was the Chinatown Heritage Centre. Not much fotos taken there since they say "NO PHOTOGRAPHY", but nevertheless managed to capture some....

(Mdm Priscilla & Mdm Fong) (Mdm Priscilla showing us how the people in the past sat... hahah) (tt's me trying to shit in the oldiest way) (Justin was showering...) (Zong Yao was sewing....)

After tt, shopped around before going for our hightea buffet at yum cha. OMG! We ate a lot lah, and I was super full. Can imagine me adding 3 inches to my waistline! Hahahaha!!!!

-----------

Some random pics taken in office when Wilson ORD-ed... Will upload the fotos for Br Xmas Celebrations at East Coast Park another time when I am free...

2008-02-17T22:58:00.000+08:00

Friday wasn't another great day for me. Did a super cockup thing at work and the fact tt I wasnt reprimanded and instead was helped cover-up made me felt worst. I was really nice of Zong Yao to stay back with me for another 1 hr plus to clear up the mess I made and I guess still got some mess for me to clear tomorrow when I go back to work.

Got two tickets from Stella for Chingay parade tt day, but cos I stayed back at work, couldn't make it on time for the show, and had to give away it to my neighbour. But anyway, really THANK YOU for the tickets. After showering and stuff after I reached home, met up with Derek, Andy, Jia Yong and Wilson at Orchard to celebrate JULYEN's belated birthday. Pierre joined us later that night.

Cos we met only at 9pm, when we wanted to go to the Jap restaurant for our dinner as suggested by Andy, it was closed. Many others were also closed. End up it was fast food for all of us. Borrowed a lighter from a girl at Long John and it was cake cutting time! Yeh! The cake was a nice Champagne cake, but hahaha cos just finished our meal, we didnt managed to finish the cake. Wasted.... Present time! then time to make our way to International Building PartyWorld for our K Session.

K Session was from 11 to 3am. Everyone Nightrider-ed home after tt....

Slept at 4am, woke at 7am for my ECA, after which headed down to my parents' stall to meet my 3 siblings. Told them to reach there by 1130hrs so tt we can leave at 1145hrs to make our way to expo to take the shuttle bus to the Black Knights Preview at Changi Exhibition Centre. Got 4 tickets for this airshow cos for my office doing the consolidation, since not many people were interested, hahah I got them! My bro and dajie came only one hr after tt so no choice we had to cab down to EXPO. Took the bus to the site and soon the show begun. Wasn't a very long show but I would say it was quite spectacular :)

(tt's a heart with a cupid arrow btw!)

Realised tt there was no Expo sale going on and all of us decided to head back home. In the train, in the same cabin, saw our Small Auntie and her family!!! SO coincidental! They were on the way to our hse cos tt night there was a CNY dinner at TPY amphitheatre (those Community Centre kind of programmes for CNY) At tpy interchange, they decided to go POPULAR bookstore to buy some books. My small cousin always love to study and so he bought like more than 10 assessment books!! He was super happy lah! Hahaha

Back home, helped him to type his 16-paged script for the skit tt they were supposed to prepare for their project. His sis was like a bee buzzing beside me, keep saying "Aiyo, ni type quickly leh! So slow!~" To tell the truth, i was a bit pissed. Hahhah

Anyway, halfway thr, couldnt stand her anymore,and I was very tired, so dajie took over. Went back to my room to nap a while before heading out for our dinner. Wat de.... she came in lah. And asked so many questions... Why ur room got... Why u don't want... Why u want to sleep... ARGH!!!

Anyway, at the dinner, I was sitting at another table with my aunties... :( Cos Dad got 2 tables, ie for 20 people lah. But then our table didnt have enough space, so :( i had to join my aunties and all. Didnt have much to talk about and since they were not as fun as compare to my siblings and parents, the dinner wasn't really tt fun for me.

Hahhaa but out of the 1300people tt attended, our family was lucky enough to win the first prize!!! A LCD TV!!! Muahahha.... Dad noe I was pissed being unable to sit with them so asked me to go up on stage to collect the prize from Dr Ng Eng Hen. But then, my bro forgot to take out the camera. Diaoz.
hahaha

Back home, checked the TOTO tt i bought. Bought 4 dollars, and got another one dollar TOTO from the CNY celebrations tt our office had on Friday afternoon.... Didnt win....

Sunday didnt have much very exciting programme. Woke up only near noon and TV-ed till driving lessons before coming back to watch all the vcds i borrowed from zong yao. The show is really great! HAHAHHA

I had a bad day.. not tt bad lah

2008-02-14T22:25:00.001+08:00

Wasn't a very nice start to a new day this morning. Was already warned before hand when reading the horoscope inside Life! Newspaper. Not tt i am really into such stuff but sometimes it is really funny tt the things happen to come true or is actually the exact opposite.

Was scolded by Chief quite a bit over things tt was actually not my fault I would say since i was totally new to the job. Hmm... or maybe she just needed someone to voice our her unhappiness against someone else and also to destress. Although she was scolding me, somehow it seems tt her target was another person. Sigh! I guess it's really not easy to be in her current position where few, if not none, understand what she is going through. Sigh! Was sharing my listening ear at her desk from 8 plus all the way till lunch. That explains why I only started work after lunch . . .

I guess in life there is no right or wrong. It is just the view tt you carry with you and in the case of Chief, i guess she is not wrong, just tt others don't share the same views as her, and this makes work difficult for her... I feel :( for her...

Tt's life.... Sigh!

ok.... enough of being so MOODY....

The day wasn't really tt bad cos Mdm Esther treated Mdm Lee, Chief, Pierre, Zong Yao and I to THai food for lunch. hahah FOOD - I always can't resist! YUMMY. and back to office, enough work to entertain me till 5.30!

ECA-ed after work. Sigh! This is how I spent my V Day this yr. Toking about this yr, i totally forgotten to prepare stuff to give my frendz for this friendship day. Argh! SO paisei!

Saw so many couples out today. So irritating (hahha i am jealous!)

Anyway, i guess my life now is equally perfect. I have so many fantastic frends and buddies! YEH!

Wish tt you are the same too.

2008-02-13T22:53:00.001+08:00

Quite a few things happened over the past few days... I shall see what I can blog before I bang myself against the bed....

SUNDAY

Sunday, the 4th day of CNY went Sentosa with family. Erjie wasnt free and so only the 5 of us went.

Reached Harbourfront around 1pm. Dad insisted taking the cable car so... ok... The view wasn't really fantastic since there was nothing much to see below except the cranes at the construction site for Resort World.

First activity there was of cos the CNY Hua Zan. So many flowers, so pretty lah.... Pics explain everything...

I very much like the area where we took the foto above....

Was wondering why no one was fighting with us to take the foto with the butterfly above cos everywhere there were lots of people. We later realised tt we were taking our foto with the back of the butterfly... dotz...

Hmm... wat are these? no idea. Rice balls? Pls enlighten me... hahhaa

TT's me hugging a giant pineapple and my bro hugging me from behind... hehehe
Was told to move away from the pineapple cosw apparently my arms were against the flowers. Oops sorry! hahaha Dad wanted to see how sweet the pineapple was and so he .. ....

Next, after spending an hour plus cam-whoring with the flowers, we did the skyride. 1st try for me at sentosa. Hahaha was so funny.... Our parents did in the one in front of us and throughout the whole thing, they sat totally still and didnt talk or admire the scenery. Hahhaa as opposed to their 3 little kids who were still busy taking fotos!

It wasn't too late after the ride but we were hungry. Dajie treated us to Delifrance and apparently Dad wasn't really in favour of tt. He just can accept the fact that a cup of coffee cost 5 bucks, but anyway, he finished it... Hahahah

Since we were at Sentosa, we decided to head down to Underwater World. The last time i went in was when i was a very small little kid, maybe kindergarden?

Dad and bro was supposed to take a foto tt makes them look very cold, but it seems so GAYISH. hahahha

Yep... tt's a jellyfish...

Was told by a photographer inside Underwater World tt since there were 5 of us, she can help us take a family foto. And she said it was TOTALLY FREE. I knew there was no such good deals, but she insisted tt it's free and we can collect within a minute. The naive family assumed tt this was under some festive promotion or something. Took 2 fotos, went to the counter excitedly. I saw everyone at the counter taking out cash and so i ask the girl at the counter. "We need to pay?" "yep of cos, first foto is $15, 2nd is $10" Although Dad dont mind paying the money and would very much to have the foto to keep, we felt cheated. Or perhaps hahah we should expect tt there is no such good deals. Hhahaha

Not forgetting tt we went to Dolphin Lagoon before we headed back... Mum complaint tt she was super bored watching the show. I had the same thinking too...

A banana tt was found on the ground....

Cabled-car back... This time round as we joined the queue to board the cable car, there is a photographer, together with her was a guy. They say take a foto before we proceed. "The foto is for everyone... Take one..... Just take" This naive family took the foto and proceeded to queue. This blogger here assumed tt maybe they wanted to keep fotos of happy faces of pple who visit Sentosa via Cable Car. The blogger here was wrong. 2 min later, a lady came with a foto in her hands,"Sir, it's 10 dollars" Ok.... again... We don't mind paying the 10 bucks but the way the things are done seemed misleading. But i guess this is how we can earn $$$$ from the tourists bah... Hahha

Dad took the following pic with a CNY deco at harbourfront centre... SO CUTE!

Didnt stay too late at sentosa cos i got night duty the next day. Wanted to watch the musical fountain, but i guess next time bah... Dinnered at Vivocity then home sweet home.

MONDAY

Monday blues. Sianz always like tt when I have night duty.... Funny things happened during duty, too lazy to elaborate....

TUESDAY

After work, came back home totally shagged. Managed to survive during my ECA, then headed down to Fairprice to buy tidbits to stock up the pantry in the office. I seriously don't understand why it is my job to do so, cos the thing is i shouldnt be put in charge of doing so. But just because someone asked me to buy once and I did, everyone expects me to do the job forever. I am not complaining tt i mind helping to do these little things, but i guess it is how you treat the person who actually go the extra step to help others. Pls reflect on the tone when you complain tt there is no more tidbits, the tidbits are not to ur liking. In the first place, everyone should help to top up the pantry. Since there are so many opinions, then DO IT URSELF!!

Was back home at 10pm totally shagged, given tt i didnt sleep much tt night and i still have to work thr the disgusting tue afternoon. Wanted to just sleep but there was these group of uninvited (and i later realised unwelcomed) guests inside my house. Entertained them for 5 min, and yeh! they left. But something I heard from my parents made me totally awake for the next few hours. Again... someone is here to fight for assets tt were passed down. I hate this type of situations. To begin with, the black and white says everything belongs to us. period. But people just dont understand and demands 50%. WTF. Anyway, their appearance after 4 yrs of disappearance was something we didnt expect. And given tt their supposed "meeting" before i returned home had so many against my 2 parents, my parents lost. I guess the whole thing was super heated up bah, cos even my neighbours decided to close their door. Upon knowing this, of cos we can't let this lying down. Sisters and bro were back by 11 plus and it was family meeting time. I never felt my family so united before. I guessed everyone was pissed since certain things were just not right. How can a person who contributed nothing come into the picture suddenly? Family meeting ended really late and I only slept about 2 plus.

Don't try to bully us cos we are not pushovers. We will win the case.

WEDNESDAY

First day in office sitting at a new place. Feeling - nothing much. Now sitting beside Zong Yao, I guess lots of crapping talks ahead before he ORD in April.

Was tasked by the other nsfs to ask Hd MP whether single personnel will have half-day off on Valentine's Day like wat he said earlier before CNY. Reply - No. Sianz!!!!

Went for Malay Lesson, only 5 out of the 15 attended. Hahah class so empty, dajie didnt go cos got work. Ended up answering so many questions. WAH! But not bad lah.. at least like tt more WU HUA. Hhahahaa

Met up with Mdm Priscilla after lesson at MacDonald's to pass her the tickets for this Sat's Black Knight's Preview for the S'pore Airshow. So sweet of her to prepare a bottle of very nice pineapple tarts. Just can't resist food. HAHHA Yummy!!!! Her husband was so nice to drive me back to my block. Lots of catching up to do with this very nice mdm next monday during our br's cny celebration at chinatown...

NOW - Seriously tired.... I need to rest...
2morow having ECA after work, tt's how i shall spend my Valentine's Day this year!

2008-02-10T11:02:00.000+08:00

So freaking moody today. Why? Long weekend going to be over. 2morow back to camp, and damn! I got overnight duty 2morow!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!

Ok. Family going Sentosa later. Let me enjoy this very day for now....

CNY DAY 2

2008-02-09T21:53:00.001+08:00

2nd Day of CNY, while waiting for Dajie to come back from work, the rest of us went to tpy entertainment centre to watch CJ7. Wasn't really expecting much from the movie since all the ratings for the 3 CNY movies were quite bad. But damn! The show made this crybaby here cried. So malu lah. I was sitting beside Dad and Bro and my running nose plus streams of tears make them keep looking in my direction. hahaha i wouldn't say the show is WOW, but there are touching part... or maybe is i am too weak. Just a little bit of emo parts then start to cry. I guess Erjie did cry too, cos when we left the cinema, both of us were rubbing our noses and our eyes were red. HaHHA... Bro was like "wat a lousy show?!"

Went home, met up with Dajie and we headed down to Downtown East Chalet to meet the rest of our relatives. Not all were there, as usual, i guess there was only half of them. But anyway, lots of bbq food throughout the night...

Hahhaa Dad and Mum were caught by us... ^^^^^ (see foto above)

Didnt stay over. Reached home about 11.30pm. TV-ed...

CNY DAY 1

2008-02-09T13:23:00.001+08:00

Original plan for the day was tt we go pray at the temples after which we will head to Sentosa. As always, we would never stick to our plans and something will crop up at the very end.

After having our lunch, changed and ready it was already 2 plus. Headed to the 3 temples tt we always go during CNY in Balestier, one of which is for my sis cos she Fan Tai Sui this yr. It was already 4 plus when we finished and it wasnt really wise for us to head down to Sentosa although we really wanted to go to the Hua Zang thingie.

Mum decided to go to her eldest bro's house to bai nian. I was hungry. We ate at the hawker centre at Bedok before meeting my small auntie and her kids before heading down to Da Jiu's house.

Lots of talking there, after which Er Yi and Yi Diu joined us.

Nothing much to blog about, just lots of munching and munching...

CNY EVE

2008-02-09T12:35:00.000+08:00

Ended work at 12pm. Half day at work, must admit it was really quite slack cos all the married mdms were given the privilege to stay at home. After work, the nsfs (got Pierre, Zong Yao, Aaron, Derek and I, together with Kat) headed down to AMK Hub for our reunion lunch. Was supposed to have more people since it was called a REUNION, but hahaha a lot of people cant make it. So too bad. . . . Had pepperlunch and then headed back home. Was hoping to go for a short shopping trip, hunting for stuff from watever shops tt were still opened but mum told me tt they were going temple to pray to our ancestors. And so, shopping trip gone! Family headed down to temple at Balestier then went home to prepare for reunion dinner. As usual, for this yr, we had steamboat for dinner. Dad insisted on using the charcoal-style steamboat instead of the electrical one cos he say got more flavour. ok . . .

For this yr's reunion dinner, Dajie's bf joined us. Hahaha i guess he was a bit shocked when we used sparklers to welcome him at the lift. hahaha.... The charcoal just didnt want to burn, maybe it was a bit damp and everyone tried to make it burn. Dad was busy added newspaper and apparently it didnt work.

After dinner which ended at about 10.45pm, Erjie, bro and I headed down to Chinatown for the countdown. Dajie and bf didnt joined us cos they got work the following day, while parents didnt want to join the crowd.

I guess I was a bit tired, or maybe it was the Choya I drank. Hhaha I cant drink I guess. hahaha. As expected, lots of squeezing but the experience was great.We manged to get an excellent place in front of the firecrackers near to the stage. The firecrackers were super loud lah and all the tiny pieces of red stuff blinded us. Hahaha.

Coincidentally saw my paternal side 3rd uncle. Didnt say hi to him. Guess he dont recognise us too. It has been i guess 5 yrs since we contacted... He is obviously much skinnier than before.... He was alone. I pitied him. . . .

Squeezed around for another while before heading back home for some TV. Shou shui for my parents till 4 plus in the morning. Tt explains why I slept till 12 the following day. hahaha

Washing Machine SPOILT/ Bro SICK/ Camp FACIL

2008-02-05T22:18:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, the washing machine in our house broke down. This is seriously a shit thing lah, cos given tt there are so many people in our house and tt we change clothes so frequently every day, it created pails of unwashed clothes. Dad managed to call a guy from a electrical store to come to our hse to see wat's the prob. He came, requested to charge his phone - OK. Then he wanted to pee - OK. Then time for a coffee - OK. I was seriously pissed. Can't u just get down to work?!!!! After 5 minutes of his super professional experienced observing, he sentenced the washing machine half-dead. The only way is to pay 140 dollars to buy a new DIAN BAN (something inside the washing machine). Mum thought it was crap since it would be more sensible to buy a new washing machine instead. The guy was sent away with a 10 dollar travelling fee.

Hhahaha all along Dad was observing the guy and found out where the DIAN BAN was. According to Mum's friend, for the problem tt we were facing, it was likely tt our DIAN BAN was wet, and all we needed to do was to remove it and dry it with a hairdryer. Dad tried, he succeeded. Hahaha washing machine back to normal. Saved 140 dollars!!!! hehehe

--------------

Bro is sick. He didnt go sch yesterday cos was having fever. Today, he went, but experienced vomiting, headache and diahorrea. As for me, claimed my half-day off and so reached my parents stall at 12 plus for lunch. Waited for Bro cos mum wanted me to bring him to the doctor. He was supposed to end lesson at 1.15 but waited till 2pm still didnt see him. End up, he decided to head home straight. Brought him to the doctor and by then it was 3 plus le. Sigh! There goes my planned shopping trip for the day.... But at least he is better now. It would be a super suai thing to fall sick in CNY.

--------------

A rainy day today.

Slept late last night, woke up late today.

Only woke up at 12.30pm this morning.

No driving lesson this weekend, instructor is too busy for me.

Met up with Bear, Daniel and his twin brother Daryl (i think it's spelled this way, haha).

Went to beach road to get Daniel's No. 4 uniform.

Ate at the hawker centre below the shop.

Long and nice chat.

Buddies always. . .

Taiwan Trip Frends Steamboat Gathering 020208

2008-02-03T01:20:00.000+08:00

Today, as in Saturday evening went to Chang Thai's house for our Taiwan Trip Frends Steamboat Gathering. Really nice of CT to organise this for us and although onli 15 out of the 35 people attended, I really enjoyed it and for this, I thank CT sincerely. It felt like a reunion dinner for us, hahaha cos got all the CNY decor and stuff...

Meeting these frends, some of which I have not seen after I graduated from NYJC more than a yr back, bring back fond memories of our trip in Taiwan 2 yrs back. Looking back at the photos tt CT had, I cant help but to recall all the fun times we had together. And OMG, my hair then was SUPER FLAT. When I say flat, it is really flat. See pic below!

Still can rmb our very very weird guide tt brought us to Taiwan. Still rmb my roommate Zhong Juinn and I overslept on one day and the whole bus of people ended up waited for us and I didnt even have a chance to pee or brush my teeth before rushing down to board the bus. Still rmb going back to the airport seeing hundreds of bra padding stranded on the highway .. .. I miss the place, I miss the experience, I miss the people . . ..

Dinner was quite filling, and the rest of the time was spent catching up with the gang. Lots of thanks to Michelle and Duan Yu for being such wonderful friends. Thank you for your concern, I am moving on fine :)

2008-02-02T00:42:00.000+08:00

Weekend Yeh!

Received my Best-Soldier-for-the-month-of-december from Hd MP this afternoon. Although the plaque is 2 mths late, hahah I still really appreciate it. Lots of thanks and appreciation to all the mdms who nominated me and put in the extra effort to do the paperworks. Not forgetting Ah Piak who ensured that the plaque was properly engraved. THANKS!

Went shopping just now. Was supposed to be an "ALL SIBLINGS SHOPPING TRIP" but cos Dajie had last min meeting after work, and Erjie needed to meet up with frends to discuss project, it was left to just Bro and I.

After much discussion, we headed to Bugis. Shopped around Bugis Junctiom, then Bugis Street. Bought 1 cardigan (hahha yes again), 4 T-shirts (2 of which when I reached home realised they are too small for me, no choice have to give to bro), 1 belt, 1 long-sleeve green-striped shirt.

Total expenditure ~ Approx $150.

2morow still need to buy the berms and the jeans tt I have eyed on previously. Aiya, still need to get a pair of dark shoes.... And wat about my wish to get a new bag?!

SHIT, no money. I cant imagine what will happen if i continue to ATM cash to buy all the stuff.

ARGH!!!!

My wish now is the win the $688 prize for the Ch 8 SMS Contest.

Tried for 2 days already, both days didnt win. Will NOT give up. Will try again tomorrow. At least the $688 will be able to cover my shopping expenditure for this month...

2008-01-30T22:18:00.000+08:00

I am still feeling moody today.
Keep asking myself why, but it seems tt I can't find an answer.

Went for Malay night class just now. It's our eighth lesson today. Didn't complete my whole homework and I feel a bit guilty when Guru Sham looked at my piece of paper... Duno why, when the rest took turns to answer the questions, I started giggling non-stop. No reason also. Hopefully the rest don't think that I am laughing at them cos I was not. Hahha

So many people around me are not passing their driving tests. OMG I only have 9 weekends to my practical test and at my current standard, I seriously need to brush up on my skills. Sigh! I am feeling more fearful of my lessons, my hands are getting more rigid, my sweat glands are getting more active!

Tired now, but caffeine from the coffee I drank before my class just now is kicking in and so half of me doesn't want to go to bed.

Looking forward to the weekend. Time to shop for my CNY clothes, time to meet up with my secondary sch buddies, time to meet up with the jc taiwan trip frends . . .

A random post, time for some family bonding before i sleep. . ..

2008-01-29T22:08:00.000+08:00

I am tired.

Dislike me for all you want.

Badmouth me for all you want.

Point the fingers at me for all you want.

I am tired.

I am not going to explain.

You are too stuborn to listen.

I want to escape.

I need a break.

I need to ORD. . .

2008-01-28T21:56:00.000+08:00

Feel so moody today. Don't know what is the cause. Perhaps like wat Pierre said I am PMS-ing the whole day. Argh!

2008-01-27T13:34:00.001+08:00

It's the weekend, yeh! Friday met up with Derek, Julyen and Andy at 8 plus at City Hall MRT. Headed down to Marina Square. Did a bit of window shopping afterwhich we had our dinner (or erm my supper) at the Collagen Ramen place. Did another bit of window shopping before we made out way to Party World KTV at International Building. Had our K session from 11pm - 3am. lots of fun hahah! Especially when I was singing all those China New Year songs! HAHAHHA!!!!

Cam-whoring was next after our k-ing. About 3.45, Julyen and Andy headed home. Derek decided not to go home via night rider, and so I decided to stay behind with him. Bought a drink and we started roaming around Orchard and walked to PS. Talked quite a bit and hahaha I was tired.

Waited all the way till the 1st train arrived at 6.06am. By the time I bus-ed home, it was 6.35am and parents were just about to leave house for work. Showered and headed for my bed at 6.50. Slept for an hour to about 7.45, woke up, coffee-ed, newspaper-ed and went for my eca. Super shagged! But at least I managed to pull through the meeting. Went to my parents stall next. TOTALLY NOT in the mood to help and so after having my lunch, dabao for my grandma and uncle, and I headed back home.

Slept from 1 to 3. Didnt dare to sleep anymore cos afraid tt I would oversleep. Hahha. Slacked around before heading out at 4.10 to meet the rest of 05s1d at bedok mrt for Emily's surprise farewell chalet at East Coast.

Emily gonna go overseas on the 7th of feb to study her dentistry and the main organisers of the party was so sweet to prepare a labcoat for everyone to sign and also a fake MC booklet for us to pen down our names for FAKE MCs Hhahh!

Played some games and one of it was the THROW-BALLOON game. Hahaha it was so fun and my tummy really ached from all the laughing!!!!! Ok the pic about tt has 2 balloons are stucked together with melted marshmallows! ahhaha

Didnt stay behind cos I thought really needed rest, plus no one else staying and so we left at about 11pm.

Bus-ed back to tpy and cos we didnt really eat much at the chalet, Belinda, Stella and I headed down to TPY Mac at entertainment centre to have our supper. Lots of chatting till we were told tt they have to close the place at 1am.

It feels really good to meet up with all these friends, afterall it has been ages since we last met. All of us must meet up again K! YEH!!!

2008-01-22T21:55:00.000+08:00

Finished lots of CNY goodies tt Mum bought. Finished the 1st packet of Bah Kwa. YUMMY. Now munching on the last packet of cashew nuts. Hahha. Where is Mum? At TPY Central stocking up more goodies to meet the demands of the useless kids tt only noe how to eat eat and eat.

Shit. ARGH!!! Realise tomorrow is wednesday, got Malay Class at night. But oops, haven't done my homework!!!! Wat have I been doing the whole weekend.... ARGH! Guess I have to spend my lunch break tomorrow doing it . . . .

Can't wait for the next weekend to come. Not gonna rot at home this weekend! YEH!
For now, I pray tt my hair grow really quickly....

2008-01-21T21:15:00.000+08:00

Hahahahha after reading my tagboard, I can't help but laugh. Hahahhaa

Ok... I guess I should say something here...

Michelle is NOT TT VERY DIRTY LAH. Hhaahha although she IS, as compared to most other girls.

A really nice friend.

A great person to talk to...

Thank you.

----------

Anyway, let me blog about what happened during the weekends.

Saturday went down to parents stall to help. OMG It was TOTALLY DISASTROUS.

Cos usually Dad does the cooking and Mum will serve the customers.

But tt afternoon Mum went to her medical appointment, accompanied by Dajie.

I went down to help Dad, soon after Bro came down too.

It ended up having 3 guys at the stall.

Cos Dad seldom serves the customers, when he "GIAP4"the dishes, it's like ALL OVER the plate, and the quantity IS TOTALLY WRONG. You can imagine I was standing beside my Dad saying "AIYO LUAN4 QI4 BA1 ZAO1!!!!" "AIYO, GEI3 TAI4 DUO1 LE 4!!!" I guess Dad was a bit pissed by all my nagging. Hhahah...

And we didn't really have much idea how to calculate the prices, but I was sure my Dad's calculation was totally wrong. Hahah a person order Rice with 2 veg, a fish, and sotong. My Dad charged $2.30. WRONG WRONG WRONG. From wat I know, Rice=$0.30, 1 Veg=$0.50, Fish and Sotong= $1 each. So the plate of food should have cost $3.30. But, she was charged only $2.30! Hahahha Dad brushed my comments away by saying that she is a regular customer. He did this for quite a few customers, and for once I was hoping that people don't eat from our stall till Mum returns. hahaha. And my BADMOUTHING came true. 1pm our 1st bucket of rice wasn't finished when on other days when business was good, it would have finished by 12pm! Hahaha

Luckily when Mum returned at 1.30pm, somehow the crowd came back, though not as much as on usual days. I guess it must be due to the YIN-YANG thingie. Cos normally there will be at least a guy (my dad) and a girl (my mum). But for tt day, it was 3 guys and NO girls. Hahaha

Moral of the story - to get good business must have a balanced YIN-YANG thingie.

Hahhaha

Other than my driving lesson on Sunday and my super disgusting haircut tt makes me look like a little kid now and which I do not wish to talk more about, spent my whole weekend SLEEPING and WATCHING DVDs - Gong1 Zhu3 Xiao3 Mei4 and Ka1 Fei1 Wang2 Zi3 Yi1 Hao4 Dian4. K session with siblings was cancelled cos Erjie was having a sore throat. Given tt she always fight with my Bro and I for the mic, she was obviously not convinced that should be audience to listen to our unbearable singing. hahaha.

----------

Trying to keep her out of my head. Thought I could forget her so easily, but apparently I was wrong. She appeared in my dreams again. Sigh. Thinking back of the good times we had, I can't help but to smile. But I know all these are not possible now.... Find a better guy k!

2008-01-18T20:48:00.000+08:00

Finally Finally Finally Weekend has arrived!

Ok. I am going to make sure I get enough rest this weekend cos next week will mark the start of a very busy office life for me. Details are not set yet but I know my appointment will be changed cos one of the Mdm will be leaving us and someone (tt is most likely me) is supposed to take over her while someone else will take over my current job. Not really favourable of the idea cos I have simply NO IDEA wat I am supposed to know. ....

Anyway I shall not bother myself with my office stuff since it is the WEEKEND! Yes, Weekend!
Hahahha. Not much plans for myself this weekend.
Gonna sleep early today. Stupid flu is DRIVING ME NUTS!
Not meeting Bear, Daniel and JJ for the supposed K Box session tomorrow cos Daniel is on Standby for Army.
It's ok! Hhaha cos going K with Erjie and Bro on Sunday!
Yeh!
Ok...

It's 9pm. Time to go DREAMLAND!

Yvonne shared this video with me in FACEBOOK. Thought that it was really inspirational.

Do take some time off to view this.

2008-01-16T21:21:00.000+08:00

Thanks Emily for commenting and tagging me at her blog. Well, my answers are as follow:

“Just list 10 things that make you happy on a regular basis. Hence, pay raises that typically come once a year won’t count. These are things that make you smile at least once a week… to remind you, in spite of all the ranting you have to regularly get out of your system, life is good.

- Rational Neurotic.”

So, in no order of merit:

1. Spending time with my whole family talking

2. Playing tickling game with my Bro

3. Going out K with my friends

4. Knowing that people around me care for me

5. Doing all the crazy stuffs with my frends

6. Talking dirty with Michelle

7. Having lots of cash in my wallet

8. Playing with little kids

9. Cam-whoring

10. Sleep as much as I want on Sunday

Ok.... spend quite some time to squeeze out this 10 things that make me smile everyday.

Perhaps I am not a happy person after all. I am tired of wearing this happy smile on my face.

Perhaps there are some things which I can't let go, perhaps people around me are not sensitive enough.

I dono why I feel this. But I don't feed good. Please don't label me .... Please get the facts right. Don't malign me. I am too tired to explain, for I know it would only make things worst.

Please be nice to me.

I feel sick. I am sick. Fever now. Hai... 2 more days to weekend.

2008-01-15T22:54:00.000+08:00

My face is rotting. TT's wat Justin and Ah Piak commented on my face.

Aiya, I know it's just a joke when they said it but seriously ever since I stopped my medication, face is back to the days when ....

Hai... My long awaited medical appointment with Dr Chong is tomorrow. Yeh! Finally. Hope he don't get a shock when he see my face tomorrow.
Hahha

Sianz. I like kena a bit of flu le. Everyone around me are having flu, from home and in office. Drinking so much fluid that I go to the toilet every hr. Hopefully the mdms in the office don't get the idea that I am having a bladder problem....

2008-01-14T22:10:00.000+08:00

After a day of shopping with my Bro on Saturday, Sunday didn't managed to catch enough sleep. Ok... regretted buying some of the stuff, but then wat's bought is bought. Saw the same pair of shoes I bought at half it's price, and it's totally THE SAME!

Anyway Sunday early in the morning, headed to Fu Zhou Association with Dad, Mum, Bro and Erjie. Dajie decided to sleep a little longer before heading out for her work. There was quite a crowd when we reached there. Of cos, what's in my mind at that time was nothing but FOOD FOOD AND MORE FOOD! Lots of Fu Zhou food cooked by certain restaurants, but the price was ex. But who cares! Hahhaah parents the ones paying. Hehhehe the whole meal which wasnt really tt full ended up 80-90 bucks. Hahha.... There was this Mian Xian (Noodle) Making Act, (see pic with the noodle). Quite cool, hahhaa I almost knocked into the stand where the noodles were placed to rest.

After tt, headed back home. Lunched again....

Met up with Jia Yong, Andy, Julyen and Derek to go shopping in the afternoon for Pierre aka Ah Piak's belated birthday present. In the end, settled for a TOPMAN jacket and a duno wat thing tt is wore on the wrist.

Aaron and Charles together with Ah Piak joined us for dinner while Jia Yong left.

After much searching for a place to eat, from Raffles Place to Boat Quay, then Clarke Quay, finally found a place at CENTRAL to makan Japanese Ramen. Ok... according to Ah Piak, it was Mee Kia tt we were eating. Hahhaha

After dinner, walked around, decided to go TCC for some coffee. Prefer KOPI lah. seriously, but for CLASSY people like Julyen, I guess Kopitiam is a NONO place for them. Hahaha. Drank my Duno wat Joe Young and we started 2 hrs of cam-whoring session inside TCC. Did a lot of stupid things like acting SLUTISH, NERDISH, PERVERTISH, CUTISH.... After looking through all the photos, decided not to showcase the photos. It can really shock everyone!!!! HAhahaha...

More cam-whoring after we left TCC, with Charles and Aaron leaving halfway...

Really fun night I had yesterday. All of us were drunk although we didn't drink. There were lots of fun, laughter and gossiping. hahaha..

Friends Always!

Oh yah! Got one photo tt I really think I should upload. This is so funny!

2008-01-11T23:51:00.000+08:00

Had an hour of chatting with Mdm Linda today after work inside the office. Guess she really needed someone to lend her a pair of listening ear. Sighs. I guess being an adult is no easy feat. Having your own problems and having no one you can talk to. Having to look after your family and yet perform your work during office hrs, and also during all the OT.

I guess all of us, including myself, don't put ourselves in other people's shoes when we label them in a negative way. After getting to know the people inside my office, my mdms as well as the other nsfs, I realised that they, just like me, are just humans, and have their own difficulties and problems. It's only that we don't usually see them, 'cause they don't go around announcing it.

I am beginning to love my workplace more and more. I am beginning to love the people there more and more. Perhaps, at the end of this year when I ORD, I will feel reluctant. Perhaps I will miss this place.... For now, I shall treasure the time that I have with all these nice people.

Retail Therapy

2008-01-10T21:39:00.000+08:00

Need retail therapy. Seriously.

Listed as follows:

1. A pair of shoes

2. A pair of new specs

3. A new belt

4. A new bag

5. A new berms

6. Lots of tops

Don't ask me my budget, cos I aren't going to set any. Just planning to use my ATM card to pay for everything. As long as there is enough to pay inside my account.

Shall start my crazy shopping tomorrow.

2008-01-09T15:21:00.000+08:00

Moving On...

Today is an Off Day for me. Lots of thanks to Mdm Esther for granting me this off day cos I helped for the DMI Farewell Parade.

A lot of thanks to all the Mdms also for awarding me the "Best Soldier For the Month of Dec 07" Award. Seriously I think the Mdms are rather nice to me, more and more. Hahhaa... Anyway for this award, I will be getting a plaque and a half-day off from work. Hai... at first thought that I will be excused from all duties for a month as stated in the 1977 directives. Although Chief Clerk agreed, Mdm Lee said otherwise. Hai.... Hahhaa got one writes "Serviceman does not need to queue for food at the cookhouse". Dotz. AT our cookhouse, the queue is always so short, so wat's the point?! Anyway the plaque is yet to be ready. Pierre bring it for engraving this week.

Wanted to have a driving lesson but was lazy to call the instructor so I guess the next lesson will be this weekend. Woke up really late today, nearly 11am. Showered and headed down to parents' stall to help. Business wasn't that good and I guess Mum is tired with working at that place. All those disgusting shit people just piss her off. Anyway, helped at the stall till about 1.30pm. Wanted to stay a little longer but Mum insisted that I go home and rest.

Back home, come online, started chatting to lots of people. Spent my time looking at all the scholarships available in SMU. Given my grades, 3 As, but got no S paper or watsoever, i guess it's quite hard to get one. But nevertheless, I will not give up. After much searching, found 11 scholarships that I can try for. If I suai suai cant get any this year, then have to try again next yr bah.

Also signed up for 2 online courses just now. One is "Building Effective Intergender Relationships", while the other is on "Delivering Your Message". Both courses added up to $126, but cos I can use my Army Credits to pay for most of it, I only have to pay just $12.60. Wat a good deal!

Later tonight going for my Malay Class. Omg, have yet to do my homework and also my revision. Oh shit, later when Guru Sham ask me questions, sure very embarassing one. Arhhhh....

Oh... the rain has stopped. Time for me to head down to TPY Central to buy some stuff before I come back home to do my homework.

-----

Thank you friends for all your words of encouragement. I really appreciate it.

I love my family more and more....

I guess being busy is the best option for me now......

2008-01-08T22:43:00.000+08:00

I told myself to forget.
I told everyone I am ok,
I will move on.

I realised how hard is is.
My heart aches, really aches.
Call me a cry baby for all you want,
For I can no longer control my tears.
I realised how deeply I have fall for you.

You push me aside,
My world gets crushed
My heart is so painful
Now I sometimes don't even know what I am doing

Perhaps we were totally a mismatch
Perhaps you have never love me before
Perhaps I should just stop thinking of you

But I can't
When I close my eyes, I see you.
Wherever I go, you appears.
This is driving me nuts.
Knowing the fact that you go into A&E and yet I can't show my concern is skinning me.

I tell myself to forget everything
To forget the past
To forget the times we had together

I can't... for now.

But I will make myself do so,
For this is the best option for both of us.
I wish you best for the future

I shall put behind the past.... and move on.

2008-01-07T00:51:00.000+08:00

A sleepless night
I ask myself why
I ask why is it that everything is over
I thought everything was fine
I didn't know the stress on your side
But I knew something went wrong
I expected something bad will happen
But I told myself otherwise

Perhaps we just should be friends
Perhaps we are just not fated to be together

Please don't blame yourself
Please not apologise
Cos this is what Love is all about
It takes 2 to clap
So why hold on to one that doesn't

I don't blame you
So please do not cry
Cos this will make me feel even more hurt
We can be friends, really good friends
Cos I have no intention to end everything here

I enjoyed the 78 days we had together
Really
Thank you
Those were the days when I smile during my sleep
And dream of the sweetest dreams
Hope you enjoyed it too

But for now...

All I need is some time
Some personal space
To recover
Alone

2008-01-05T23:46:00.000+08:00

Did my night duty with Aaron last night.

Headed back home today and slept all the way. Didn't meet up with Dear today. She seriously needed a lot of sleep. She has been OT-ing for the past few days, guess she need to rest enough to be recharged for the next week. Cos previously wanted to spend the day with Dear, so didn't make plans for the day. Hahaha watched TV, MSN, computer games for the whole day. I realised that I am no longer used to staying at home. Every weekday I would be busy with something outside home, and for days which I am at home, I will be too tired to do anything, and on weekends, I will be busy out in town, or somewhere outside home. For once, I was hoping a Saturday to pass more quickly. Evening after dinner, napped for another 1 hour before heading out to tpy central with Bro and parents.

Wanted to go visit the tour agency but it was closed already. Parents have plans to go overseas for Chinese New Year this year since our ties with our relatives have not been improving over the years. So instead of facing this and making the whole mood so weird, perhaps it would be a fantastic idea to keep ourselves away from them. Bought quite a bit of CNY decors from the Pasar Malam. So back home, keep myself busy with making my whole living room super red. Hahha. Seriously, how many people will come to our house during CNY. Will we be home in the first place?! Hai... never mind, the decors shall be for self-admiration purpose.

Bye 07 Hi 08

2008-01-02T22:38:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year to all!!!!!

OK... before I go on to talk about my new year resolutions and stuff, let me blog about what I did on the last 2 days of yr 2007.Sunday's driving lesson turned out to be fine. Perhaps I saw the need to be very serious and focus when driving. Started doing reversing and accelerating forward with the poles. Most likely next lesson will start with parking. Oh yah! I need to go renew my PDL. All thanks to the lazy me who did not start learning driving lessons for a few months last year after obtaining my PDL.

Sunday night was spent with Jia Yong, Charles and Derek at Pierre Bday BBQ at Pasir Ris. Cos my driving ended only at 6pm, these 3 nice people agreed to meet up at TPY before cabbing down to Pasir Ris. The place was quite ulu but Pierre's mum and relatives were very friendly and soon we were indulging in lots of BBQ food. Hahhaah THANK YOU pierre who keep on peeling prawns for me despite the fact that i had enough. Ok I must say first arh. Not tt I ask him to peel for me cos I did peel a few for myself already. Cos we did not want to play soccer with the little kids and sweat it all out and so we tried to act busy by eating non-stop.

----------

Monday only had half day work. Went to look for dear before we headed to Bugis. Both of us went to the kids arcade and played. Too vigorous is playing and ended up I had blisters on my hands and my arms are aching. Seriously need to exercise more. to meet the rest for dinner at The Fish Harvest. Ambience was great, given the fact that we were given party hats and poppers, hahha but the food wasnt really that nice. Wasnt really full though, despite having an appetizer, soup, main course, dessert, drink and a tea.

After dinner, it was already 9 and so we made our very slow way to the Esplanade. Got a good spot and started cam-whoring.

Watched the 8-minute fireworks at 12am. Was fantastic. Laze around there chatting while people made their leave to catch the trains after which we walked in Esplanade and stoned there.

^^ First Photo with Dear in 2008

Original plan was supposed to be kboxing after the countdown but becos it was $36++ per person, we were seriously broke given the dinner was already $72. Dear was too tired and we decided to head home at about 2.40am.Waited for our NR6, but it did not appear. Actually there was one, but it was too full an it too another hour before the next one appear. Just curious asking, is there a difference between SBS's 6N and SMRT's NR6? Cos there were a no of 6N but we did not take. Board our bus at 3.40am after spending an hour observing people. Group of people dancing in front of Marina Square, drunken man quarreling with others, a guy who shouted vulgarities and pointed middle finger when he jaywalked, a drunken couple in deep kissing, modified car racers on the road.... The night is really interesting with all these forms of entertainment and these made us awake!!Bus-ed back to Dear house at 4.30 . . .. . Slept for the whole day, 6am - 12pm, 4pm-6pm.

----------

Ok. Time to set my Resolutions for Yr 2008.
For Yr 2008:

1. Get my Driving Licence
2. Complete my Malay Night Class and make sure I revise my work before every lesson
3. To reduce the size of my tummy : Exercise more, to run, swim and hit the gym
4. Complete my 2 yrs in NS smoothly, don’t get into trouble
5. Attend courses – self-improvement . . ..

Thursday

After work, met up with secondary buddies, Bear, Daniel and Wong JJ. Headed out for dinner at J8 then headed for some prawn-fishing at the place beside the golf course in bishan. Was quite a nice experience for me although the 4 big guys only managed to catch one pathetic prawn which we eventually gave away cos no point bringing one prawn home to admire. Hahha and the only prawn that was caught was by Bear. I believe the problem was with the bait that we were given. THe bait look super unappealing. No wonder no prawns was interested in getting hook. And I strongly believe that the one which was caught by Bear wasnt caught because it bite on the bait, but rather while trying to move away from other disguesting baits, accidentally got hooked onto ours. Hahhaa... Bear suggested having prata for supper but cos have to go camp early the next day since i was the duty clerk, plans were cancelled. Hai... so envy of Daniel and JJ who have such a nice break....

Friday

Was supposed to be on half day. PM supposed to go for my medical appointment at National Skin Centre. The appointment was supposed to be on 10 Dec but I postponed it to friday due to committments in camp. Depleted my supply of medication for my hair growth and also my pimples. Seriously, I wasnt very happy when I heard that I was activated for night duty on friday morning since I have already planned my whole weekend's programme! COs zong yao got an MC from medical centre that morning, being the 1st standby, i have no choice but to be activated. Sianz! Have to cancel my pm off and last min change my appointment to the next available day which is 13 Jan 08.OMG! that's so super far away! N i was not prepared for the duty. Never bring my toiletries and that meant that my mouth will stink all the way until i go home the next day. Argh!!! But worst of all was that Friday was supposed to be the day Dear and I celebrated our 2 mths anniversary! And i promised her the previous day that we will go out! Really sorry that i broke my promise. Thank goodness Dear wasnt pissed cos I guess both of us very much looked forward to the day....

Although super shagged that night, managed to keep myself awake. Beside having my Malay class notes and Spot-the-diference book (something like photohunt kind), there was this ^&&$$^^& idiot who kept me awake the whole night.

Ok... please pardon my language for the below paragraphs....

----------------------------------------------

Was told by the sergeants to go collect the food they ordered from the Mess. Did as instructed since it was not wrong to go collect the food on behalf of the duty personnels from the mess.

Walked into the mess then was called to go out by a sergeant. Was told that a WO Choo wanted to see me. OK. I went to see him.

He gave me a super stuckup look. That was gross. He was sitting with all his disgusting &^&*( mates. Then he pointed that the sign written at one corner and ordered me to read it our. I did, as requested. For Sergeants and above only. Then he gave me a fucking snarling look and asked, what is your rank? I replied Coporal. His fucking damn-you attitude was so super duper disgusting and he totally insulted me. Fuck u! Stop saying that i have no rights to enter, for i am not going in to eat or play or use the facilities inside. Cos i am just going in to collect the food that others have ordered. and that will take just less than 1 minute. and yes this 1 minute is just 60 seconds! wat the fucking big problem with you when i never even step on ur toe. and what rights do you have to demand tt if i want to get the food, i must go from the back door from whene the kitchen is. YOU SHOULD JUST GO N BANG UR HEAD IN THE WALL. Common sense will tell u that it is so fucking inconvenience for the seller to go take the food and pass to me at the backdoor, collect the money, get the change then pass to me again. And just becos you got a rank, oh you got a rank?! HAH! And tt gives you the authority to treat me like a fucking recruit? Beside insulting me, wat else can you do? Do something more useful for the nation. Instead of having people cursing you at your back. YOU NEED TO REFLECT. A PERSON IN UR FORTIES, DO YOU NEED SOMEONE LESS THAN HALF YOUR AGE TO TEACH YOU THE BASICS? Aiya forget it, you should just go and die.

----------------------------------------------

Met up with dear on saturday afternoon after catching some sleep. Cancelled BIZ gathering cos seriously couldnt make it. Dear got a new phone, dinner-ed and walked a lot before heading back home. Nice sweet gifts from dear. Thank you. TV-ed till 12 before heading home.

2007-12-26T17:58:00.000+08:00

On leave today. Went for my driving lessons just now. Damn it. The car i was driving kissed the taxi in front. Argh!!! It was green light at the traffic light and all the cars drove forward. It took a while for the cab in front to move. But who knows wat damn happen the driver stopped. I was too lag to react, and bang, kissed the cab. Argh! 50 dollars gone just like tt. Omg, i am already super poor, an now the piece of blue note fly away just like tt.... Argh!!!

Now to think of it, did the taxi driver do it on purpose? Hai... in any case, it's my fault...

Next lesson will be this coming Sunday. Hope that there will be no repeats of today's incident....

Tt's all for now. Going for my Malay Lesson later . . .

2007-12-26T00:04:00.000+08:00

Time for updates!

-----SATURDAY-----

Saturday was 05S1D class outing day. Was rather disappointed by the small turnout for the kboxing session in the afternoon. Only me, Michelle, Emily, Amanda and Shu Wen met up at City Hall before heading to marina square for the singing session. Emily left halfway thr and it was left to the 4 of us to sing... Hahah Michelle never fails to make me smile and I must say I really enjoyed the kboxing session very much. Dinner was at New York New York. Joining the 4 of us were Kah Yee, Janice, Jia Hui, Joyce, Hui Keng. After tt it was some strolling along esplanade. On the way back we saw many people eating potong ice-creams. Apparently, there seemed to be some free distribution of the ice-creams and the thought of getting a red bean ice cream really made Janice super excited. We walked through the whole city link area and screened every single corner but it seemed tt they had finished distributing it. Ahhaaha.... Sianz. Class outing officially ended at 9pm. Lots of thanks to our CT rep - Michelle! Hhahaha although the turnout for class outing is always so low, she never fails but to try her best to gather the class together. THANK YOU once again!

-----SUNDAY-----

Went to Dear's house. Took part in the potluck xmas party downstairs.

-----MONDAY-----

Xmas Eve. Half day work. Did about 1 hr of work in office, went for HQ xmas celebrations at the mess. Hahahah so fun. Some games, hehhee won myself a mug in the BINGO game. Left office at 12.30.

Afternoon slept for a while but apparently Bro didnt wake me up and my alarm clock wasnt sufficient to wake me up. Was supposed to go meet Dear at 5pm but that turn out to be the time when i woke up. Showered and rushed down to her house. Was not totally awake yet I guess and so at tpy interchange, i board bus 139 instead of 145. Only halfway through the ride I realise my mistake and alighted. Walked back 1 bus stop and took bus 130 after looking the list of bus stops the bus will stop at and assumed that it goes to the bus stop that bus 145 stops as well. I was wrong. The bus went another side and I landed at Boon Keng Station. Walk cum jog 1 station to Farrer Park station where Dear lives nearby...

We met up with Grace, Jac, 3sa for Fish & Co at the glass house. Super long queuing and super long wait to be seated and for food to be served. Later 3sa's senior came, and after which the rest joined us too.

Pool at Meridien (hahaha me and dear didnt play) then Arcaded at Cineleisure, where we saw the very superb para para dancing by 3sa, then movied I am Legend at 2.35am. Was expecting the show to be much better. The ending could be much better developed. 3 stars I give for this movie.

An early breakfast at the hk cafe. Attitude by the staff was really bad, guess it was becos of the super bad timing of 4 plus in the morning. But since we were paying the 10% service charge, we should be getting something much better. The whole cafe was playing SHE songs nonstop until the last 10 min before we left. That's equivalent to at least an hour of SHE songs. Not against SHE or anything but continuously listening to the same people sing can be quite irritating actually.

Took the 1st bus back to Dear's house. Then walked to the bus stop to head home. Waited for quite some time but no bus came, then realised that 1st bus for public holiday is at about 7 and so rotted at the bus stop for 30 minutes. Was so tired le and yet there was these two Chinese workers who really pissed me off. 1stly, one spit on the floor which is super unhygienic and unglam. 2ndly, they started smoking while sitting down at the bus stop. OMG, dont you know the simple law that smoking is prohibited at bus stops. 3rdly, one throw he cigarette butt on the ground. Damn, dont you know that littering is against the law. Hahahah that was what that ran through my mind earlier at that time. The lack of sleep makes me pissed over every small little thing. Hahaha

Slept all the way through on 145 towards tpy interchange. It was the bus driver who actually woke me up! Hahhaa Reached home, showered. Slept from 8 to about 12. Reason to why I didnt sleep longer was due to super noisy environment that I was in. Bro's phone kept ringing and he keep snoozing his alarm and so I couldnt sleep in peace. Plus Mum and Dad were already busy with their spring cleaning and so the house was super noisy!

Lunch then slacked a while. Went to Dear's house. Dinnered . . . .

2007-12-21T20:54:00.000+08:00

Got a few things to blog today, so let me first start with what happen for the past few days.

---Tuesday ---

The day when Charles and Jia Yong ORD. Sob. Hahhaa will definitely miss them a lot. Had a very nice lunch party. Got KFC, nasi lemak, donuts and also SWENSENS ice-cream logcake. Yeh! OMG! I canthelp but to feel that I am 4 months pregnant!!!!

After work met up with Daniel, Bear and Wong JJ. Oh man! Centuries since we get to meet up with JJ. Bear was having his term break while Daniel and Bear were on course and so get to go home these few days. Didnt have time to go home, shower and then meet them and so, headed straight to amk hub after work. Daniel didnt change out of his No. 4 uniform also, although JJ did actually bothered to make an effort to bring an extra set of clothes. Bear helped us buy the tickets. Didnt noe tt for weekdays, if you buy tickets at Cathay using NETS, it cost only $6 per ticket! WOW! hahahah

Had dinner together with another female frend of JJ and Daniel. Ate char siew ramen. Thought it wasnt really that fantastic although the rest thought otherwise. All 5 of us ordered the same thing. Didnt know what else that was available that appeals to me.

Movie was Warlords. Hmm... it was really much better than what I thought it would be. Wasn't really interested into Chi-na war fighting stuff, but this show proved me that Chi-na war fighting shows can be really nice too. Love the part about the brotherhood among the 3 main characters. It was nice, really!

---Wednesday---

It was half day work on wednesday. At about 11 plus am, everyone in our office pack up to go East Coast for our Christmas Branch Cohesion and Celebrations. We were there for sort of a treasure hunt thingie. 3 groups. My group, inclusive of myself, only has 3 members. Another one also has 3 members while the last one had 4. Great to know that I was in Mdm Emily's group cos she is always so sporty and yes, although we were the last group to set off, hahaha we overtake the 2nd group, and was lucky and carful enough not to be tricked, as what that happened to the 1st group. Mdm Esther group was not careful to end up renting bicycles to go all the way to bedok jetty when the clue was just nearby.

Hahhaa it was fun being in my team with Mdm Emily and Mdm Linda. Hahaha plus the fact that the only camera that was taken out from our office, our group has the most photo coverage. hahaha!!!!!! Photographer - me! Hahah Justin must be super diaoz now since he took the camera home to upload all the photos. Lots of cam-whoring by our team. Hahaha the funny part is the part where we were all in yellow ponchos. The weather wasnt tt nice to us and so we had to wear those ponchos that the organisers specially prepared for us.

There was much debate over a maths question which involved integers. Hahhaa I even called Michelle to ask for help! Thanks a lot!!!

Anyway, our team was fast, noting the fact that we bothered to jog along the way, while the 2nd team was less competitive and decided to stroll to each location, and the fact that the 3rd team was far away in bedok jetty, we reached our last location at 3 plus, that's about 2 hours before the scheduled time of 5.30pm. Hahha did some window shopping with the rest at Parkway Parade.

Had our dinner at Roland Resturant. Nice food. Got prawns and crabs. The organisers - Justin and Pierre - only had about $200 to plan for the dinner and given that they could plan such good programmes and food, they are really good. Could see that a lot of time and effort was put into planning this.

Hahhaa the prawns and the crabs were the 2 main targets that I was aiming for the whole evening. Muahahah. No wonder Justin commented that what I ate was about 100 bucks, half the price of all the food.

Everyone also got a mini logcake. So sweet of them to give one to everyone. Then it was the gift-xchange segment. Not to forget the cupcakes that Mdm Priscilla bought for us, although I didnt manage to grab one cos some other people were like packing it into their own bag (I shall not mention who.....) Was busy observing their expressions then. hahaha super funny!!!!!!

Anyway, after dinner, 31-ed back to tpy. Met up with Dear for dinner. Erm dinner eat again, cos the dinner that I had earlier was still not digested. Watch Dear eat, then we went to PS for a walk at Carrefour, sent her home, then home sweet home.

---Thursday---

Met up with Dear. Headed to Vivocity (yes, again... few places to go in Singapore, SAD). Wanted to watch ALVIN despite knowing that the show isnt tt nice, but ended watching National Treasure cos it was screened on GV MAX. Hahha first row though, and we finished our nachos even before the show begin. This not only shows how freaking long the advertisements were, but also the fact that we cant stop eating!!! Show was not bad, but not as fantastic as Warlords. Dinner-ed, Giant-ed and then Carrefour-ed at PS before home sweet home.

---Friday---

Unit was having our formation promotion ceremony today. Oly NSF available in the office was me, Justin was out to despatch at MINDEF and the rest were on leave. Preparation of certs, refreshments, scripts, emceeing . .. . were all thrown to me. Argh! Didnt have enough prep and so I totally screwed up my emceeing part in front of all the officers. Hai... didnt know I speak so badly, thought I was still ok during my JC times, afterall, the oral presentation for project work, I got a really good mark for it. Anyway, it's over. No point thinking of it anymore.

---------------------

Was pouring today when I ended work and so decided to bus to tpy interchange before taking another bus directly to the bus stop in front of my block. Was facing 2 little kids, a boy and a girl, with their Dad sitting beside me. The little boy was very active and tried to stand on the seat to feel the cold air from the air-con. His Dad said this in Chinese "Cannot stand and play, later this army officer arrest you". Hahha the innocent little boy gave a super believing face, just like the little girl. hahah but before another 5 min, the boy was bouncing again and the Dad say "Dont jump, later the officer take out the gun from his bag!" Hahah the innocent face on the little boy was so cute! He even asked if there was also a cannon inside my bag. Hahah Before I alighted the bus, I tried to tease the little boy by reaching my hand into the bag. Hahha his eyes were staring so hard at my bag and my face~!!!! SO CUTE! (Ok... enough of phedophiling)

---------------------

Ok, for those who have been catching the news, you must have seen articles on Sunshine Empire. And people like us must be thinking that only super naive people will fall victim to this. And apparently, my parents happen to fall in this category. Hai .. . .. Money gone le. Hai.... although I know this amount is nothing much as compared to what I know I can be earning in he future, the fact that it's my parents' hard-earned money aches my heart, ARGH!

---------------------

Thinking of going for some Public Speaking Course, I desperately needs them.

Tt's all for now. Blog again soon.

Saturday

Went to dear's house on sat. After nua-ing for an hr, headed to mustafa. Had bbq at dear's house tt night. Quite a few aunties and frends were there. Was supposed to be a bbq but due to the rain, no choice but to eat at her house instead. Was having such an 'enriching' night, right dear? hahah u noe i noe . .. hahha.

Sunday

Met up with Julyen and Derek in the afternoon. Attire set by Julyen was festive, but seriously, given my very limited clothes in the wardrobe, hahah I couldnt think of anything. Kope my brother's shoe to wear. OMG! It was a no-brand shoe that cost 100 plus dollars. He bought from Taiwan and the brand was 'acupuncture'. The reason why it fits the 'festive mood' - it has got many shiny beads on it. WOW! hahaha. Anyway, we went to a restaurant in Little India to eat Nepalese food. Really nice food. Lots of spices, delicious! Hahhaha it managed to clear my block nose!!! Hahha and I started to sweat. Got this mango drink called duno wat, tasted like yoghurt. Tt was really nice, love it lots!

After lunch, train-ed to Dhoby Ghaunt, walked from PS to International Building, Orchard. Julyen headed straight into GOLDHEART and started looking for jewellery for his mum. So sweet. Next, headed upstairs for some singing session at party world ktv.

After all the singing, we train-ed again. Headed to marina square for some japanese ramen. The food was nice and reasonable. Dont understand why the place was so empty cos the food tasted better and was cheaper than AJi...

Train-ed home.

----------

Oh man! Taxi fare will start increasing wef today. hai... cost of living so high now. Sianz! I NEED MONEY! Desperately taking part in all sorts of lucky draws and contests, hopefully i can win something really BIG! HAI!

2007-12-15T08:02:00.000+08:00

What a busy week ...

Last saturday evening movie, arcade and dinner-ed with dear. The movie we watch - tattoonist. No of stars i give - ZERO. Seriously the show was really lousy and there was no climax to the show. It was suppose to be scary or at least a bit exciting, but there was none. And when the show ended, everyone in the cinema wasnt satisfied at all.

Sunday, was supposed to go botanic gardens with dear, but due to wet weather, hahaha wnt to dear's house to slack. Lunch was cooked by dear. Yummy!

Monday met up with dear after work. She had OT again. Waited at Aljunied mrt for her, but cos she havent arrived, so i went to the bus stop to stone. Ya lah. no more sleeping at the toilet this time round, cos i checked out the toilets there. they were those temporary toilets that stinks! Dinner-ed and Neo-ed with dear at Bugis.

Tuesday - ECA.

Wednesday - Malay Class. Another lesson of Malay. That's Pelajaran 3 which means lesson 3. Learnt all about numbers, counting, time, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, dates, months, yrs..... So fun! YEH!

Thursday - ECA.

Wednesday's big thing is finally over. Yeh! Hahhaa can finally slack. So nice of Mdm Esther to give e a treat yesterday for helping out for the big thing. Had swensen's ice-cream and wings. Hehehhhe Yeh! THank you mdm!

Friday - nothing much to talk about. Slept from 7.30 till 7 this morning. HAd a really bad headache yesterday so my supposed nap turn out to be a looooooong sleep. Hahhaha.

Parents are finally back from taiwan. Yeh! Lots of food tt they bought. Plus no more dabaoing of food every night. Yeh!

Time to go now. BBQ tonight! Yeh!

2007-12-08T00:54:00.000+08:00

Bro came back from China 3 days ago. Yesterday, my parents and him headed to Taiwan. Yes. Finally, my parents are going overseas. They always don't like the idea of travelling - the high cost of it, and the many things they can't put behind. For Dad, unable to open our stall means that some regular customers may be lost to other stalls. But more importantly, I think what matter most to Dad is my grandma. Seriously, you can say i am unfilial. I wouldn't fight back. But I seriously that that my grandma don't deserve the care that we are giving her now. She was the one who was so biased against my Dad in the past and only gave him chicken ass, while the 2 drumsticks will be specially kept aside for my 2 uncles. She was the one who totally neglected my father, and ended up it was my grandauntie and granduncle that saw my Dad grow up. She was the one that chase all our siblings out of the house and we had no choice but the rot at the coffeeshop everyday after school when we were young. When my Mum could not handle the 4 I will never forget it.My bro was only a baby the. She treated us like dirt.... And yet now, she has no choice but to live with us. Why? Apparently my two uncles are useless. If she had a choice, I bet she wouldn't want to live with us. Afterall, she knows that everyone in our family dislike her. I almost scream at her a moment ago. She happily on the tap to the max for half an hour. And what was she doing? Washing her hands. OMG?! What is your problem?! The more I talk about her, I more pissed I get.

Ok.. enough of talking about my grandma. If I talk any further, my body temperature will definitely increase! Now that my parents will be out of town for a week, hai. . . . lots of things for me to do. Washing my own clothes, ironing my clothes, boiling the water, sweeping, mopping, making sure grandma gets her meals, buying the breakfast, clearing the rubbish . . . 2nd day eating instant noodles hahhaa. Only now does I realise the importance of my parents, and only now I experience what my parents have to do go through everyday after their work. Hahhaa I can't wait for my parents to come back.... They are my SUPER-PARENTS!

Was our Formation's Bowling Day yesterday, a one-day event at SAFRA Mount Faber. For people who know me well enough, I don't bowl and I CAN'T bowl. And yet, I took part in the competition. Hahhaha. Was forced to participate. Hai . . . . Anyway each team had 5 players and there were 68 teams, 34 teams each time. Overall, out of the 68 teams, the lowest point team is my team. And I was the one in my team to get second last or last if I never remember wrongly. So it actually means that out of the 340 people, I am the 2nd last or last! OMG! SO EMBARRASSING! Argh!

Almost got someone into trouble yesterday. All thanks to my ^&%^$$& mouth which ALWAYS say the wrong things and get people into deep shit. Seriously I didn't mean it. Perhaps I should got for some courses that teaches one 'DEGREE IN SPEAKING'.

Met up with Dear last night. Dinner at PS. OMG! ARGH! We were at the food court and when the auntie was clearing the plates, she looked at us and say I looked like a little kid. And then she went further to say that I was a young husband. Dotz. Do we look old and at the same time I show sighs of a little kid?
After dinner we went to Wisma - Mushi Mushi to get rings. And the person who serve us told Dear "Ni De Lao Gong...." What's the problem with these people? DO I look so old?!

Enough of blogging for now. Time for a nap now before I go for my driving later.

2007-12-03T21:56:00.000+08:00

Friday

Met up with dear. Watch her had her dinner. Hahha then walked around Popular before sending her back home. Hmm... she looked really tired from the temp job she was doing. Must really take care! After tt met up with Bear and Daniel for the movie Hitman at TPY Eng Wah. Ahahha as usual, I was late. After movie, 3 of us headed to Upper Thomson Rd for some prata. Yeh! Makan time! Ate 1 kosong prata, 1 egg prata and 1 paper prata. Going with it was a super nice Teh Tarik. After tt was already beyond midnight. No bus back home and so after analysising that walking back home was not a wise option, we decided to cab home. Hahah Bear was so funny lah. He told us not to anyhow flag for taxi but to choose the older models so wldnt be $2.70 when we first board the cab. Was supposed to be super tired but somehow ended up going online for some chatting session and ended up slept really late.

Saturday

Woke up at 7am. Was freaking tired. Went for ECA, then parents' stall. Headed home to shower then went to look for Dear. Already ate my lunch but after meeting up with Dear, I had my second lunch at Long John. Window -shopped at Novena area before Dear went to church. While waiting for her at Square2, I headed to one of the toilet. To do what? Hhahaha TO SLEEP. Seriously I was so tired after a loong week of hectic work at the office, and so simply closed the cubicle door, put down the toilet seat and started napping. Hahha I overslept and oops Dear had to wait for me. Paisei. Next, we met up with buddy Elton. Oh man! Seriously I miss his lots! Hahhaa Lots of great time spent together. We went to Vivocity to walk and chat and later headed to Plaza Singapura. Had our dinner at the food court. Nice steamboat we had. Yummy! Jin Yuan came to join us for the movie - The Kingdom. He came in a PUNKY outfit. Hahhaa It was really nice! Anyway, toking about the movie... Seriously I noe nuts about the show. Was basically trying very hard to keep my eyes open throughout the show. Hmm,... didnt really sleep during the show cos Dear keep reminding me that i paid for the show so shldnt waste it. But then hahah I was basically just stoning and stoning. After movie, couldnt take it. Sent Dear back home le then rushed back home. Hhahaha but after i showered, was feeling much more energetic and ended up chatting online again.

Heheheh

Sunday

Had all the sleep I wanted. Slept till 10 plus in the morning. The reason I woke up was because my 2nd sis walked past my room and since the door wasnt closed, my 2nd sis was like "Aiyo so bug le still sleep with the pink doggie". Hahaha That was suppose to represent Dear while a blue one that is with Dear represents me. Hahha to tink of it, imagine a 19 yr old guy holding it to sleep. hahahaha. Cant believe that i don such a thing. Hahha No wonder people say love is blind. Hahhaha.

Woke up had my breakfast - noodles and cakes, followed by lunch erm an hr plus later, roasted duck rice. Met up with Dear to go Marina Square. Arcaded. Argh! All the shooting games I was lousier than her lah. WHY?!!!! Hahhaa next we went to watch the movie - 30 Days of Night. Quite nice show, both Dear and I were very much looking forward to this show. And Hahahha saw BARNEY at Marina Square. So exciting!!!! BUt dear was totally not interested. hahaha her expression was so funny. Hehehhe.... Dinnered at Thai Express.

Home Sweet Home.

Love the sweet little things Dear has done for me.

Love you lots!

2007-11-29T23:15:00.000+08:00

Another busy day at work today. All I am looking forward now is the weekend that is coming up.

2nd sis forgot to bring her keys again. Both sis are out and wouldnt be back before 12 am tonight. Bro is in China for one week with his volleyball mates. Hai.... I realise that as we grow older, we spend less time with our family members. Perhaps it shouldnt be the amount of time that we spend that matters, maybe it's the quality of the time we spend together.

2007-11-27T22:54:00.000+08:00

Spent my Sunday with Dear at Vivocity. Both of our first time watching movie at GV Max, quite cool. Hahha Enchanted was a nice movie and I guess both of us enjoyed it quite a bit. Dear made for me some realli nice cookies. hehhe :) Duno wat's wrong with the picture uploader tool, cant seem to upload any pic today.

Monday had my 2nd night duty for the month. Super shagged.

Today went back office was loaded and with lots of things to do, but apparently didnt clear them all since I was on PM leave. After work headed to parents' stall for lunch. Coincidentally both of my sis were there too, and afterwhich Dajie brought us to eat Gui Ling Gao at TPY. Slept from 3-6pm. There goes my leave. Hahha. After dinner went for my ECA.

Tomorrow is a special day. It's our first month together! Hahha it's my 1st Malay Lesson, and also your 1st day at work. Jiayou!

----------

Sometimes we cant help but to feel so PISSFUL by certain people who seriously doesnt have much EQ. These people are those who spoils our day and makes life hard for us. Why just cant they spend some time reflecting? Or perhaps they dont see the problem. Maybe someone should voice out the problem in their face.

Watever the case, you have made me a better person, a person who is able to survive in such a harsh environment with INTERESTING people like you.

Weekend

2007-11-23T20:55:00.000+08:00

So tired today. Had OT today, all thanks to the meeting that was held nearing the end of the day, and so my Friday was gone like that. Anyway, Daniel is out on a ship today, will only book-out tomorrow night, so Bear and I had no choice but to postpone our meeting to next weekend. ECA and tuition tomorrow, and meeting dear to celebrate our 1 month on Sunday. Seriously, wow, it has been one month. Hahha.

Miss a lot of people, how I wish all of us can meet up soon, real soon.

All the BIZZY people, especially Elton. hahah

&

All the girls (and a few guys too) from 05s1d. Ah! I miss all of u!!! After all ur Uni exams we must meet up k. Lots of catching up to do. Hahahah!

2007-11-20T21:56:00.000+08:00

Was on leave today. Had a great time with dear. Lunched, Neoprint-ed, Movie-ed, Arcade-ed, window-shopped. :)

I am a happy guy, really

Finally Blogging

2007-11-19T23:11:00.000+08:00

Yes! I am finally back to blogging! hahahha!!! Reason for not blogging for the past 2 weeks - Legs too long, kick the CPU, computer spoilt. Hahhaa So I had no internet access. But managed to buy a laptop yesterday at Sim Lim Square with very good bargains cos got some very nice people provided me with the contacts to get real good deals. My bro also got one laptop for himself. Now left with my beloved dajie who has yet to get one. Mum say it's best that each of us has our individual computer so that we wouldnt point fingers at each other when something goes wrong. Heheh good to hear that cos mum sponsoring! hahah! But of cos, Dad was like "One not enough meh?"

Got quite a lot of things in my head to blog about. Seriously dont noe where to start from. Hahah cos got too much things to blog, it seems that everything seems insignificant.

Ok. First, it has been more than 3 weeks together with dear. Ok, I wouldnt disclose who she is until I get her permission to blog out her name hahaha. Everything is going very well. Hehhe movie-ed with her last Saturday after dinner - Bratz. Nice show, though I was like reprimanding my Bro the day before for watching this show with a group of guys, and asked if they were all gays. Then spent quite some time, nearly 2 hrs in arcade i guess (we didnt realise it was so long until we stepped out of the place) playing photohunt. Hahha our desire to win was so super strong tt we keep peeping to the other pple laying photohunt around us, and made sure we won them. Hhahha. On 1-day leave tomorrow. Meeting dear to spend quality time together. :)

Went K again with Julyen and Derek last night at International Building's Party World KTV. Was fun, but could be better if there were no screaming and toneless singing by me. Hahhaa. Derek's passed his medical FFI and is now PES B and so he has to go back to Tekong for BMT. So unlucky lah. Have to redo everything again, and shave bald hahaha, just like what happened to Jonathan a month plus ago.

We managed to catch one of the rats in the office, but apparently, there is at least one more. The rat was trapped in the rat cage that we placed at one part of office. Couldnt come to an agreement how to 'destroy' the rat. The ideas brainstormed include drowning it in hot water, covering it with newspaper and hit it, give it rat poison, hang it up under the hot sun. Of cos, there were some who believe that all these are like What the?! SO disgusting. And so some suggested letting it go somewhere else. In the end, we decided to let the person from Pest Control Company to deal with it. This took one whole morning. AHha this made my day (last tue/wed/thu) very short. Hahha we are still trying our best to catch the other rats. One of my mdm's office was attacked by the rat(s) and so the whole room had urine smell. The rat also ate the bottle of glue that belonged to Zong Yao and Mdm Fong's Po Zhai Yi (the powder thingie tt prevents diahoerrea) Hahha The rat will get constipation!!!!!

Took part in the Adtaggers sms thingy that dear told me about. Hahha basically need to just keep a lookout in newspapers, magazines, websites, outdoor ads... to find the code to sms to the given no. You will then receive a reply sms immediately telling u if you won anything. Hahha I tried twice and the 2nd time I won $10! Hahha not alot, but the fun is always being able to enjoy the JOY of winning. Hhahaa

Practical driving test date is set at 10 Apr 08. That's the earliest I can get. Hopefully by then I can master the art of driving. Hahahah u must be thinking that now till April it's like still got 5 month plus, but an idiot like me needs more time than anyone else!!!

Ok... that's all for now. The rest of the stuff I shall not blog. Hhahah neck aching le. Time for a break!

Karaoke/Singing/4th Driving Lesson/Hair Cut/Rat Attack

2007-11-08T16:14:00.000+08:00

Ok let me do some updating before going for a nice afternoon nap.

Wednesday was on half-day at work. Went home to nap and then meet up with Julyen, Andy, Derek and Jia Yong to go K. Was supposed to go K Box at Marina Sq but it was later changed to Party World at International Building. Oh Man, Julyen can really sing. Seriously if he had taken part in the ACER Idol that we had in our unit, he would have definitely won something. All the high notes he can hit and all the Arrrrrhhhhhh... he can sing super well, like professional singers. And he tales 20 min to warm up his vocals, and cos he had went for singing lessons before, and plus his continual efforts to improve himself, he had a really heavenly powerful voice. Hahaha... Mine? Hahha FAR FROM IT. Was more like reading out the lyrics from the screen instead of singing. Hahahah. Voice was super super low, low until even I cant stand it. hahahaha Anyway we sang till about 11pm before going for our dinner at MacDonalds. A short lesson of using the diaphragm to breathe instead of the lungs conducted by Julyen and Derek. But apparently I dont understand and I ended up breathing in using my lungs and caused my shoulders to move, and teacher Julyen started hitting my shoulders. Hahaha... Guess it's really hard to master it, since Derek took 2 years during his Drama Class to master it. Anyway, hahaha Julyen will be giving me singing lessons hahaha soon. For all you noe, maybe next time I will no longer be reading out the words from the screen, but really sing! Hahahah!!! We left after that, managed to catch the last train back :)

Today... slept till 10.20am. hahhaa but still not enough cos slept at about 3 plus yesterday. For a person like me, I must really make full use of the chance I have now to sleep as much as I can before I go UNIversity. Hahhaa

Had my 4th driving lesson today. Was conducted around Toa Payoh. hahha this time round no more those engine stalled problems, hahaha so wat if there are buses and cars around me?!!!! ahhaha but the instructor still complain that my steering isnt very good. Always very stiff. At bends, either I turn the steering to little, or too much. hahahaha...

Had a hair cut too. No choice but to keep my hair short for this two years. To tink of it, I have 404 days before my Ord. Hahah my hair now is so short, like little boy. My dad commented I look like a little school boy. ARGH!

No longer financially independent le. hahaha no choice but to ask for $30 from mum for my hair cut, and other stuffs, and also $10 from Dajie for my driving lesson. If I never remember wrongly, ever since enlistment, I didnt ask for pocket money from my parents. but hahahah seriously the money that I have now is NOT ENOUGH! Just ATM-ed 50 bucks yesterday. Hai... later making another trip to the ATM again. SIANZ!!!! NO MONEY!

MONEY MONEY COME TO ME!!!!!!

----------

Some updates to RAT ATTACK in my office. One day after the pears got eaten, Mdm Fong decided to test out if it was really the rats who were the culprits. She masking taped a piece of chip onto one table. Surrounding it, she opened up a few ink pads. Mdm Priscilla poured out some baby powder onto the table and at a few other locations in the area.

The next day, the chip was TOTALLY GONE. Blue footprints of the rats caused by the ink pads were seen. Hahah there were also trails of the rats becos of the white powder. Some fake flowers that mdm Fong had were bitten, and her chair was wet. hahaha THE RAT MSUT HAVE PEED. Hahha My desk was not spared. There was also some slightly yellowish transparent little in front of my keyboard. And my computer monitor also had some liquid, but for this it was a bit whitish transparent. Mdm Priscilla was so sick lah, she told me the rat was male. Why? Cos she thinks the whitish transparent liquid were sperms from the rat. hahaha... Who noes, maybe there was some action on my desk the night before. Hahahah

RAT ATTACK continues . . .

----------

ok.... should be going for my nap soon. Hahah.... Another day of work tomorrow before WEEKEND. Yehh!!!

RATS attack!

2007-11-05T21:37:00.000+08:00

my office has RATS!

Mdm Fong left 2 pears on her desk last Friday.

Today we went to office, the 2 pears were half-bitten.

And the packets of ketchup on her desk was also torn and all the sauce sucked dry.

KILL-Rats-MISSION starts tomorrow.

Wonder what Mdm Fong will bring tomorrow.

Fmn Anniversary/Movie with Bear & Daniel

2007-11-03T02:39:00.000+08:00

Thursday

It was our Formation's anniversary. Morning had parade. Had to wear the super disgusting No. 4 uniform which totally doesnt suit me at all. Parade was boring, especially for clerks like me who is standing all the way to the back, trying to keep mosquitoes and flies away.

After parade, all of us changed into PT attire for our games. The race we had was sort of like the chinese variety show 小红点. Got Start-up group, home-based group and search group. The start up group is supposed to build up the tents in the shortest possible time so tt the home-based group can go in to solve puzzles which will give clues to the search team which has to go out of camp to different parts of Singapore. For HQ, ie where i am in, we had 2 teams. I was in Team Fantastic 1, but apparently we were the last team cos the search team gave up halfway - reason being they cant resist the temptation of pork rib noodles at Jalan Malu Malu, and so they were super lagging behind the race. So the rest of us (including me) were rotting under the tent.

Hahah but at least the other team from HQ, FANTASTIC 2 won the 1st prize! Hahhaa!!!

Evening was really something that everyone looked forward to, an anniversary dinner at Meritus Mandarin. Everyone looked gorgous, many looked different from what they looked in camp. As expected, Julyen was a shining star, so super well dressed. Justin was dressed like a Ruffian, with all the gold chains he had. He told us tt that was the style he was going for - Ruffian. Many invested lots of money in it, people like Julyen and Derek specially went to do their hair, and Wilson had eyeliner. He looked good with it, really. Mdm Fong was like showing her ermmm cleavage. She was like "It's ok wat!" Wow, saw the wild/wow side of her!

hahaha Let the photos do the talking:

Reached home at 12, suppered, showered slept.

Friday

Work supposed to start later by 1 hr, 9am. But cos I was the duty clerk, had to reach earlier to open up the office. Missed 2 buses and so had to run into camp. Totally soaked in sweat when I reached office!!!

Met up with Bear and Daniel for movie Rendition . Movie was at 9.30pm. Was quite a nice movie. 4 thumbs up! After movie we wanted to go Thomson for prata but apparently there was no more buses and so we suppered at MacDonalds TPY. Really nice of them to sms me bday wishes at 12am when they were like sitting in front of me!!! hahaha Cos they had no more bus home, I was so honoured to be escorted home ahahha before they cabbed back to bishan.

So tired now.

---------

Thank you for the cupcake.

I am so loved! :)

2007-10-29T10:16:00.000+08:00

I am a happy guy.

2007-10-27T17:10:00.000+08:00

Time to do some update....

Thursday

Was on night duty. I have always dreaded doing night duties. My freedom for the night is gone and I will be spending the long night in front of the cctv or doing ration at the cookhouse. I hated it. And plus the fact that it was on my mum's birthday this time round, i wasnt really enjoying the duty. Mum's birthday celebration had to be postponed, to next saturday, which is her birthday for the lunar calendar. Coincidentally, both of my english and lunar birthday will also be next saturday and so i will be celebrating with my mum. Although mum says that it's ok to celebrate together, and still can save the need to buy another cake and stuff, but somehow i think it isnt very nice for her. Bro wasnt at home on tt day too. He was at a camp at dono wat island for outward bound for 5 days. Of course, I did call home at night to wish my mum birthday. At that moment when I said the words 'Happy Birthday', my heart felt sour. I realised that I can get very emotional at times.

Night duty was done with another guy, Danver, also from 88 batch. He was from ACJC. It was nice to talk to him. Hahha... As to the content to what we talked, I guess erhems... Had a long chat with Calina on the phone. Guess she is getting super stressed bah, since her A Lvls is just next Tuesday. While I was engrossed in my talking, a &^$%( sergeant whispered at my ear. I jumped up lah, cos there was like 'something' behind me. My whole pants was wet as I spilled all the coffee which I was holding! Argh!!!

From 2-6am, Danver and I decided to do shifts. I was supposed to watch from 2-4, while he will do from 4-6, afterwhich we will do together till 8 plus am where the whole duty ends. At 4am, I headed into the bunk to wake him up. There was a guiy backfacing me with black specs, and so I woke him up. "It's ur turn. You take over, I need to go pee." The guy was like "Har? You pee or I pee?..." What he said didnt make sense to me. I went ahead to the toilet, but when I came back, he was still sleeping!!!!!! No choice, I went back to watch the CCTV. At 5am, I really couldnt take it anymore. Was super tired. Went in again to the bunk to wake him up. Then I realised that I WOKE UP THE WRONG PERSON PREVIOUSLY!!! ARGH!!! Danver told me "Eh..... I thought I supposed to take over at 4am, why you so late then wake me.... " hahaha I felt so stupid.... Then I realised that I couldnt sleep anymore hahahha.... And so, didnt sleep for the night.

Friday

After duty, went to shower and "plak plak plak". Hahha if you know wat it means. Cos last night there were a no. of leftover ice-creams from lunch at the cookhse, so at night time the auntie there told me to finish them. And so I ate 4 of them. And hahah, I had the runs! Around 9 plus, went back office to rush the things that I had to do as I would be going to the Singapore Discovery Centre for a NE Tour later in the afternoon. Did 2 hr plus of work, changed into my civilian clothes and off we go to SDC! Hahaha... Ever since SDC renovated, didnt have any chance to visit the place again. A lot of changes, couldnt really recognise it. Of course, Little George is still there. Hahhaa that's the only thing I think didnt changed. Visited the whole place, had some games, and then it was a documentary in the iWerks theatre - Everest. Ok... I was almost into sleeping mode, hahah but managed to survive thr. Hahaha...

Ended at about 5pm. Took bus to Boon Lay, then bus-ed to tpy. The more than 1hr 30 min bus ride was killing me! Hahhaa... Dropped my things at home, then went to tpy library to look for Calina. Both of us had dinner at Pastamania. Then sent her home. Got my early birthday present from her. It was so nice of her mum to sing me the birthday song! Hahhaha... THANK YOU SO MUCH! But still waiting for my birthday song from Calina. Hhahaa

Slept at 12am.

Saturday

Woke up at 7, headed out for ECA before going parents' stall for lunch. Bro was also there, so I headed home to sleep. Ahahah... 3.5 hrs of nap, I feel super alert now!!!!!

2nd Driving Lesson (IT WAS BAD!) / $$No Enuff$$

2007-10-23T18:06:00.000+08:00

Whooooooo! Finally completed today's driving lesson. Yep, today was my 2nd driving lesson, and you know what, my instructor actually made me drive on the main roads in toa payoh. I was super duper nervous, and given the fact that I had only one lessons with him before this, I asked him "Are you sure?" Last week was ok, we had the lessons on the roads around private apartments, but this time he wanted me to drive on the main roads with all the traffic lights, bends and stuff.

All the necessary steps like clutch in, accelerate, brake, u-turn and stuff I had learnt last week, but the fact that I was on then main road with so many other cars around and plus the traffic lights, hahaha I became super stiff. My grip on the steering wheel was like trying to strangle someone and my hands became sweaty.

It was until I couldnt take it, and was so nervous that my engine stalled like 3 times in front of a single traffic light, then did he decide to head back to where we were the previous week.

Not that I didnt want to give myself a chance, but I wasnt ready yet I guess.

Hahha back to where we were for the last lesson, I was on-form and hahhaa everything became ok.

Guess I need to "RELAC" more, as what the instructor told me.

Next lesson will be on next Monday, 6pm-7.30pm, after my afternoon medical appointment at the National Skin Centre.

----------------

I am broke. Yes I know I have mentioned this so many times but I cant help but to reinforce the fact that I am broke. Expenditure for this month is super high, and I believe this will also be the case for the months to come, with the driving lessons and my night classes.

Exceeded the amount that I set for myself in a month. Have ATM-ed 800 bucks since the start of this month. Seriously I ask myself, where did the money go???!?!?!!!!! Must be because I go out every Fri Sat Sun, and buy so many stuff, plus a huge amount spent on FOOD, and my lessons. Have no intention to withdraw anymore money for the rest of this month, and so this means that I am left with $12 for the rest of this month. But wait, Oops! Still need to cough out money for my weekly driving lessons! Argh!!! This is driving me CRAZY%^(^$(%&*^ ^!

ok... WHO STILL OWE ME MONEY?!?!!! hahha

I guess have no choice but to tap into ZYGFF (which is Zhen Yao's Girlfriend Fund). HHAhahaha

----------------

Went to library. Borrow 2 books. One of which is called THE NO ASSHOLE RULE. I believe I will become better at tackling with all the ASSHOLES that I meet in life. MUAHAHAHHAHA!!! (OOps! Did I sound a little evil? Muahahaa!!)

2007-10-22T19:55:00.000+08:00

I need someone to confiscate my wallet. I have been spending and spending. Spent 80 bucks yesterday buying a new pair of shoes. Damn.

2nd driving lesson tomorrow.

Happy 19th Birthday Bear!! :)

Community Centre Activity

2007-10-21T14:05:00.000+08:00

It's Sunday! Morning woke up at 6am cos promised parents will join them for the CC walk at Sembawang Park this morning. About 4 thousand plus pple were there. It was just a short 1.5km walk, after which each of us got a bottle of water, a pear as well as a red bean bun. Didnt eat that cos Sunday morning mah, of cos have to eat something better.

After that the bus brought us to Sembawang God of Wealth temple. The aunties which include the organisers, always make decisions at the last min. So the decision to go this temple was made only after we left the park. Everyone was supposed to gather at 9am to board the bus so that we can go to somewhere else but we realised that all the aunties were queuing. Queuing for what? For free vegetarian food. Ok... so everyone ate until very full, including me who also decided to join in the queue.

Next, we were given like nearly 2 hrs at Chong Pang to do some shopping. Seriously cos of the generation gap, nothing much for my bro and I to do there. Eyes were closing, felt so drowsy, and despite taking my 2nd cup of coffee at one of the kopitiam there, I was still very tired.

Ate Carrot cake. Yeh!

12pm reached back toa payoh. We were brought to one of the kopitiam to eat zhi2 char4.

Cos many of us ordered canned drinks, nearing the end of the meal our family started removing the metal rings from our cans. This is becos we are collecting the metal rings in exchange for wheelchairs for the old folks' home. As eldest sis working in hospital, for every duno wat 10 thousands of rings collected, they can get a wheelchair in return for the old folks' home. And given the fact that parents work in the coffeeshop, it makes it easy to collect the rings.

After hearing this, the aunties were all so enthusiastic. They are seriously very nice people.

And they started passing all the cans to us. Hahaha see photo below:

For those who would also like to do this meaningful and easy thingie, pls collect the rings and pass to me when we meet :) THANKS!

Back home now. Supposed to go sleep, but duno why blogging now. Hahhaa..

Meeting with Bear and Daniel cancelled cos Bear need to go his parents' stall help while Daniel will be booking in tonight.

Ok... That's all for now. Now I shall go sleep.

Shopping for Clothes

2007-10-20T23:57:00.000+08:00

After ECA in morning, headed to parents stall for lunch. Supposed to go there to help, but bro was there too as he push back his meeting with his friends. After lunch, headed home first before meeting Derek and Julyen for our second installment of shopping. Ahahha... Andy joined us later at about 2pm. We shopped thr bugis street and bugis junction, then combed the whole orchard. Hahhha in between, Julyen's female frend joined in. Oops so sorry I forgot ur name. And also Andy's friend, Melvin.

In between, we rested at Starbucks. Hahha ' to rest' is fake, but rather to celebrate Derek's bday which is tomorrow!!! Got the cakes from starbucks, together with our drinks, that's how we celebrated. Hahah.... Only i sang the whole bday song. Julyen only like 合音 for me, while Andy only said the word Happy Birthday!! after i finished the song.

As expected, Julyen bought a lot of stuff and his concept of saving is really bad. Erm or I shld say is that the word "saving" in his dictionary.

About 6 plus Andy and Melvin went off to have dinner b4 going for a movie.

Then 7 plus Julyen and his frend went off to Botanic gardens to meet their other frends.

Left Derek and I. Continued to shop, until we decided to have our dinner at PS Pastamania. Had baked rice, with lots of added cheese. We tok quite a lot of stuff, then decided to go for a movie. Or rather I wanted to watch a movie, duno why also.

No suitable movie slots, so both of us went to the arcade near PS. Didnt play but watch Derek as he engrossed himself in all the games.

Reached home about 10pm.

Bought the following for the anniversary dinner:

A pair of white skinny jeans from Bugis junction

A topman tie

A pullover from Fox Man

That's all. And my expenditure for the day adds up to about 140 dollars.

Had no choice but to shelf my idea of buying a new long sleeved shirt and belt.

Guess more money will be spent in the next few weeks.

:( I am broke.

Prank/Duty/ECA/Shopping/Family Day/Movie

2007-10-19T21:50:00.000+08:00

WEDNESDAY

Stayed in office for an extra one hr after work cos I was the duty clerk for the day and one of the mdm stayed back to do some work. Really greatful to have Justin and Pierre to stay back with me and keep me entertained in the office and while waiting for the bus at the bus stop.

Together with eldest sis, Pranked on 2nd sis at night. Erjie was busy in sch doing project and called to check if there was any of her mails. There was one, and she told us to open it for her. it was from Mensa, if I never remembered wrongly. Realised that erjie had sat for some IQ tests so as to be a member of the Mensa thingy whose members are all people of high intelligence. The letter writes "You are at the 99th percentile, which means you are in the top 2 % of the world in terms of intelligence" or something like tt.

Apparently, erjie was so eager to noe wat score she got. Via msn messenger, da jie and I told her that she got onli 99 points instead of her actual 148 points, and that she did not get the membership. Ahahahah... so bad right. It seemed that she was quite disappointed.

Decided to tell her the truth.

BUT THE TRUTH WAS THAT SHE RECEIVED AN EMAIL WITH THE SAME CONTENT IN THE SNAIL MAIL, AND SO SHE KNEW WE WERE PLAYING A PRANK ON HER ALL ALONG, AND SO SHE PLAYED ALONG WITH US.

Argh!!! Dajie and I were like What the . . . ..

Hahaha

THURSDAY

Had my overnight orderly duty. Everytime when I need to do night duties, I will become very sianz for the whole day. hahah people in my office will definitely noe that. Anyway managed to survived yet another duty, except that pimples started to pop out le.

Ok... many close frends bday coming up...

1st Driving Lesson, FINALLY

2007-10-16T17:33:00.000+08:00

I OFFICIALLY DECLARED THAT I HAVE FINISHED MY 1ST DRIVING LESSONS

yes, I noe, everyone must be thinking why this freaking idiot too like many months before he can start his lessons. He said he wanted to start every week since July, but only started TODAY. Anyway, I managed to start it. Period.

Ok... got this instructor through Bear. Bear also has the same instructor. Bear warned me b4 that he do scold people and indeed I kena scolded by him today. Hahhaha...1stly, he kept asking me questions that were supposed to be for the advanced theory exams. And oops! A lot I forgot le, since the last time I touch the book was around June to July. And also, the engine stalled once. He was like WAT!!!! U-ACTUALLY-STALLED-THE-ENGINE kind of attitude. Now to think of it, his expression was hilarious!

Lesson was supposed to start at 3.30pm, but both of us were early and he fetched me from my home at 3.15pm to Jalan Peminpin. Learnt about clutch-in, accelerate and stop a car, and also doing U-turns. Hahhaha he keep complaining that my arms were too rigid. Hahhaha but at least there was improvements by the end of the lesson. Minus away the ENGINE STALL part, it was not bad I guess. hahah...

Ended at 5pm. Next lesson same time next tuesday. Wallet less 98 dullars (2 x $34 for 2 lessons and $30 for registration). Need to go ATM REALLY SOON.

Meanwhile I guess I have to read through my advance theory bk to prevent myself from kena-ing his scoldings for the next lesson.

2007-10-15T21:14:00.000+08:00

my neck and back pain is killing me . . .

Another Day Shopping

2007-10-14T21:50:00.000+08:00

Shopped with Bro today. We went to Suntec City Mall, Marina Square, then Bugis Junction, Bugis Street, followed by AMK. Spent a hundred bucks, nearly half of which went to Bro's new slippers which costs 49.60. He said he will returned me the money after he save up, but given his character, I guess it will take a super loooooong time before he can save up to that!

Tired. Still haven't decide what to wear for Anniversary Dinner. Guess i have to go buy something soon. Cant possibly always wear the same thing. And many people are wearing quite formal, guess I dont want to be too different from them.

Kbox/NSF Shopping Trip

2007-10-13T22:27:00.000+08:00

YESTERDAY

managed to reach home at 5.35pm cos Mdm Esther was heading to TPY hub and so I managed to get a free ride home. Yeh! Ate half of the cheesy pizza that an auntie treated us from Pizza Hut before making to tpy central to meet Bear and Daniel for K Box-ing at 7pm. They arrived only at 7.30pm cos Daniel just booked out that evening and had to go home to change and have his dinner first. So while waiting for them, I decided to go to Guardian, to enjoy the aircon. I realised tt the saleswoman that always recommended my all the facial products SO ENTHUSIASTICALLY was also there. Since I have been diligently following the rules of my doctor from the National Skin Centre for my face, I thought that it would be fun to walk pass tt saleswoman again to see if she will recommend me anything. Sad lah, she still push me all the facial products! Argh!!! That means my face still not improving enuff!!!

Anyway, when they arrived, we headed upstairs for K. But duno why, Bear and I started to have flu, and my stupid nose was sneezing so ($^&%^* frequently, until my singing had so much 鼻音 (bi ying). And I ended up reading out the lyrics instead of singing them! Decided to leave at about 11.30, before heading to the bus-stop where we started doing some chatting.......

-----------

TODAY

Woke up around 7am. Read the papers, enjoyed the fragrant coffee before heading out for ECA. Then in the afternoon, met up with Julyen, Derek and Charles at Orchard for some shopping. It was supposed to be a NSF shopping trip for the upcoming Anniversary Dinner to be held at Meritus Mandarin on 01 Nov 07. But many people didnt turn up. Aaron didnt, and so was Pierre as he had his Band practice while Justin didnt appear. Andy cos had applied the cream that the doctor gave him, ended up face very itchy and red and so decided to stay at home. (Julyen and Andy went to National Skin Centre yesterday to see a doctor for their face, and so was Pierre 3 weeks ago!! hahaha now there is a trend of nsfs goinf skin centre to see their face. It's FREE! Wat do you expect?! Of cos must make full use lah!!!!) Zong yao came to join us at about 3pm.

Julyen came in a WHITE attire. Nice clothes, i guess expensive too bah. And not forgetting the super big sunglasses that he put on, for a moment i thought they were eyes of a mosquito. Well styled, no wonder he was nominated to be one of the finalist for our anniversary dinner's MR FASHIONABLE AWARD. But also perhaps becos he had this very big sunglasses, everyone walking in his direction looked at him, many of which looked at him from head to toe!!!!!

Wasnt really having the mindset of buying anything although I seriously sees the need to stock up for my wardrobe. Derek was given a good lesson by Julyen on how to style himself and he managed to get his clothes for the event. Julyen bought a lot of things too, although he felt it wasnt really enuff. Within 10 sec he saw a bag which was like just 20 sec after he stepped into a shop, he was at the cashier paying for his 60 plus bag. I am not exaggerating. At another shop, if I didnt stopped him, he would have bought another to add to his collection. Then he spent another 50 over dollars at 77th street over a few small accessories. Not forgetting the 200 over dollars he spent at Topman..... According to him, he spends 400 over dollars on all these every weekend. I was like WAH!

Wanted to catch a movie, but no suitable time slots. So forget it!

Snacked at Old Chang Kee.

Dinner-ed at Coffee Club. Had baked chicken macaroni. Not bad, was very full for me. Finally somthing that managed to make me FULL.

After dinner, shop for another while before heading home....

Disappointment/BusBrokeDown/NYJCopenhse

2007-10-11T21:43:00.000+08:00

I am disappointed with myself...

Disappointed that I just cannot control myself..

Brought two Char Sau Pao to work today, ate them at 8am.

9.30am ate a packet of bee hoon with all those oily stuffs.

12pm ate lunch at cookhse - rice with chicken, mashpotato, and veg.

Not forgetting the ice-cream that i ate too....

3pm, teabreak - a pack of vegetarian beehoon....

6.30pm, dinner - a pack of bar chor mee, and also 2 packets of Munchy's Lexus Biscuits, and 1 Kinder Bueno before heading out for ECA

9.30pm, hungry again... ate 2 bananas....

Really disappointed that I am eating more than I shld. I just cant control it. Argh!!!!

Anyway, I went for a jog in the afternoon today. Managed to make me less guilty. Another Formation Jog for all tomorrow. Hope I can complete tt too.

----------

Took bus No 8 from tpy interchange for my ECA after dinner today. Bus driver was a 20 plus yrs old lad who seemed new in his job. Took a loooong time to manoveur the double-deck bus out of the interchange. Took an even longer time for it to crawl to a distance 10 m after the 1st bus-stop. and the bus stopped there, Apparently the bus broke down, but the driver wasnt satuisfied with what he saw, and was busy discussing with someone else on the phone. People were pissed. I was feeling a bit too. Not too much though, given that i slept at 9pm yesterday, i am not to tired and moody today :) Anyway... everyone alight the bus and waited for the 3rd bus no. 8 ( the 2nd overtook us while the bus was crawling!!!) it caused me to be late by 15 min ....

----------

Realised that it's NYJC openhse tomorrow. Went to the website a couple of weeks ago, saw the banner there, told myself to set aside time to go for it. But apparently, it slipped my mind. Only realised it when Stella msg me just now, asking if i was going. OOPs! Got plans for tomorrow le. Going K BOXING with BEAR and DANIEL :)

Guess I will go NY another day....

2007-10-09T18:41:00.000+08:00

On half day leave (pm) today. Driving lessons have yet to start. Supposed to be today, but my instructor if out to Malaysia. Never md, set the next lesson timing with him le. It's next Tue, 1530hrs.

After left office near noon, together with Charles, Aaron, Mdm Emily, Mdm Esther, Mdm Lee and Mdm Linda, visited Jia Yong at Singapore General Hosp. He had some operation for his nasal parts and also his ears. Seriously, his 'new' nose is better. He looks better. cos the doct injected sillicon into his nose, so he now has an Ang Moh nose. Great to see that he was recovering well with all the gadgets and books that he had with him.

After lunch hrs, everyone left except me and charles. He had his medical appointment later also at SGH, while cos i wasnt busy stayed on for another hr until 2pm.

Shuttled to Outram Mrt, took 143 to tpy central, then 88 back home.

Headed to tpy swimming pool. Hot weather, nice swim. But a bit tired now....

Just received my SAFRA card today. Can go SAFRA swim next time . . .

No time to blog now. Going out!!

2007-10-07T11:49:00.000+08:00

外头下着大雨，听着苏大绿的《小情歌》，我感到有些寂寞。

期待着午餐的火锅。希望它能让我心中温暖些。。。

SATurday

2007-10-06T22:22:00.000+08:00

lunched with bear and daniel today at Marina Square

shopped around at Marina Square, City Link, Raffles City, Tangs and Wisma.

Didnt buy anything. Bear bought 2 tees.

Hungry... at about 4 plus. Ate again at Food Republic.

Head to J8 to buy bear's new bag.

Simple outing...

But being able to hang out with buddies...

It always feel great for me.

A Wasted Trip... Waste my TIME!

2007-10-04T22:19:00.000+08:00

Went jogging today with Zong Yao and Pierre today during worktime. It's our weekly sports activity. Surprisingly I participated. Hahaha...

After ECA today went to the ATM to withdraw money, and then made a trip down to the community centre to sign up for my Malay Language course. The person serving me said that since I was a PASSION card member, I shld, or rather in the way she put it, I MUST go home, then go online to sign up, so that I can earn double the amount of duno wat POINTS. I listened to her advice, or erm demands. Went home, switch on the comp, log on to PA's webby. And look.... they dont recognise my account, saying that the address I keyed in doesnt tally with their records, and so they cant verified that it is me who is signing up and so I cant sign up. It says that " Pls visit your CC as you are unable to register online". Wat the .. ...

Guess I have to make another trip down tomorrow.

Hmm... still thinking of whether to jog or swim after work tomorrow. No Zhen Yao, dont think of going home straight after work to slack. You promised yourself that you will lead a better life, remember?

Oh yah! Hmm.. No slacking tomorrow!

For A Better Me

2007-10-03T21:32:00.000+08:00

Yeh! Took out the first step to shed my lazy self, transforming to a better me tomorrow. Hahah...

Yesterday was on half day leave. Went swimming at TPYSC. Really good feeling. Quite some time since i swam, many many months. Now that I get the chance to spend time doing this once-my-favourite sports, it really feels great. Now to think of it, why did I stop swimming for so long?! Anyway, managed to swim for 25 laps until I realise it was time to pack off to go for my ECA in the evening. Hmm.. must train harder, to reach my 100 laps target. If I tell you I once swam that amount at one go and got a cert for that, would you believe. Hahah... Must get back to my standard...

For today, after work, I didnt allow the lazy side of me to take charge too. Headed straight to TPY library. Returned the almost overdued book that I previously borrowed and borrowed 2 new books - one on Emotional Intelligence, the other on Business stuff. Also made a trip to TPY Community Centre to see what courses are available at night so that my nights wouldnt be wasted just like that. And Yeh! They have a Malay Language Course for adults that starts on 31 Oct 07 and ends on 16 Jan 08. 12 sessions, one on every wednesday night, 2 hrs each from 7.30 to 9.30pm. Decided to sign for this course. It's only $80.

Another night of ECA tomorrow.

Friday maybe go for a good run to sweat it all out.

For a better me, YEH!

2007-10-02T14:30:00.000+08:00

I kind of understand why some people just hate enlisting into Army. Sometimes it's because of the strenous physical training one has to undergo, while at other times, its the lack of freedom that one has. Having worked in this organisation where RANK = EVERYTHING for 10 months, I have sort of understand how things work. I have no comments on the organisation structure. Definitely, in such organisations, RANK is important. We have to respect the person's rank, if not the person him/herself.

However, I am not like some others who can obey this. Certain people have certainly stepped on my toes and I can't just swallowed it down. When I see others who are victims, I feel sorry for them too. Have you experience getting scolded the whole day by your mdms? From 8am when you stepped into office, till morning teabreak. And after that, another series of scoldings till lunch... and so on. This didnt happen to me, but someone else, but I guess even any cold-blooded animal will feel sorry for that guy.

Apparently, he couldn't take it, and broke down. The atmosphere was tense. Everyone wasnt feeling good. The office is like a battlefield, with war breaking out anytime, attacking any possible victim. Every office seems to have such scenarios where NSFs can't take it anymore...

Sometimes your side of the story is not heard, while at other times they push the blame to you. It can be really bad when you can't quit your job, or change your boss.

Having to wear a mask everyday is taxing and stressful. Seriously I hate walking into the camp. N0t because of the long walk I have to make, but rather the uncertainty of what will happen later in the day.

I am lucky, for now. Mdms are not against me, and for a few, quite nice to me. But having to work in such a tense environment is so stressful.

I don't ask for promotions or whatsoever, I just hope that I can complete my 2 years safe and sound, and mentally-abled so that I can go into university....

2007-10-01T21:25:00.000+08:00

I have always knew how fragile life was, at least I thought I knew. But when I saw my friend breakdown because his best friend died in a car accident, it really gripped my heart. I felt someone squeezing lemon in my heart. I felt sorry for him. But not only this, I striked me how fragile life is.

I am reminded the importance of treasuring my life, my family, and my friends....

I realise I have been neglecting my friends. Guess it's time for me to do something about it...

2007-09-30T12:53:00.000+08:00

Friday went out with Movie with Bear and his Bro. The show was erm... eh... let me recall.... Rougue assasin i tink... hahah... Nothin much to comment about the show. It's always great to be able to meet up with this good frend whenever we can. His bro was a bit shy, too quiet. hahah Must TOK MORE!!!! anyway managed to catch a train back, 2nd last train.. saw bear's parents. Very nice people! hahaha.. very friendly....

Saturday was my cousin's wedding. Supposed that the whole family go and crash in the afternoon. But apparently, cos i guess my dad didnt want to face-to-face with another uncle, decided to work today despite my mum's strong resistance. The 4 siblings wanted to go crash by ourselves. But DAjie, had to go back office for meeting, and bro had a meeting with his frends. So cancelled. Went to help at parents' stall.

Nevertheless we went for the dinner at the Amara Hotel. Food wasnt really fantastic but the service was good. Mum keep commenting that the waiter that served our table was very good-looking. Cos relationship with relatives not very close, while some others cos due to the upper generation problems that affected us, we camwhore by ourselves.

Hhaha my face was super red lah. Everyone keep asking... Guess I had too much red wine.... OOps!

2007-09-27T21:35:00.000+08:00

Did a presentation today.

It was disaster.

A project that was so physics.

2 other group members, one on mc, the other on leave.

Left me to present to the mdms, officers and the other nsfs...

Not tt i havent done any presentations before...

But i was super nervous today.

Cos i didnt know what i had to say or what i shld noe...

There were too many loopholes in the project....

I identified them myself, but couldnt think of anything to counter them.

Just prayed that nobody will discover these loopholes.

I was too naive.

Everything went wrong.

I was shoot right down.

What they say was right.

There is no problem in the 1st place, or rather the problem that we sort of identified for us to proceed to do this project wasnt even really a problem in the 1st place...

And the so-called solution wasnt even solution. It created more problems...

Disappointed in myself, REALLY.

The worst presentation i have made, EVER.

The saddest sentence i heard was "Is that a possibilities that they actually reject people's project".

This sentence tells me alot about what others think about our project.

Conclusion : The project was a total failure.

......

Ok... have to cheer up now.

What's over is over. Must be forward looking.

2morow is FRIDAY!!!! yeh!

Another busy weekend to come. . .

2007-09-23T11:45:00.000+08:00

Another Family Day! Hahah. Yesterday evening went to Ang Mo Kio Pri Sch for a Mooncake Festival Celebration. It was a collaboration between Foo Chow Association and AMKPS. Personally it think the idea was great. Every yr my family will attend this annual celebrations by Foo Chow Association( as my Dad's a member)which will be held at their own venue. But cos the no. of participants were decreasing, the FUN wasnt there. This yr, got all the little kids together with their family, it was great.

It started with the bursary awards presentation at the school hall. 2nd sis got $800. Hmm... I am not eligible yet cos they say those in Army can only apply using A level results upon entering university. So I guess I have to wait for another 2 yrs before i get $800 richer! hahah... No photo to show when my sis got on stage cos hahah my hands werent stable when i took the shot, and so it turned out freaking blur.

After the presentation was some celebrations down at the courtyard. Got lots of games for little kids, those you see in fun fairs, all the riddles guessing, and lots of performances, from chinese dance, indian dance, malay dance, chinese wushu, chinese dragon, lion dance, band performances . . .

For the riddle guessing, hahha my mum did lots of homewk before going and so hahha she could get 7 rite. And so we got an extra 7 gifts beside the 6 goodie bags that we have already received.

And not to forget the lucky draw again! hhahah out out 1300 plus people, we won one out of 18 lucky draw prize. Hahhaa although it was just a consolation prize of a 10 dollar ntuc fairprice voucher, hahah it didnt fail to make mum super happy. hahha.

It was a wonderful night, but could have been better if the moon was rouder. Hahha... Anyway I enjoyed myself a lot.

Ended at about 10. Then headed to amk for supper. :)

Saw....

A little malay boy i guess maybe just pri 1 or 2, trying and trying to climb up the sch fence. and when he failed, he smiled to himself and continued.

Another little chinese boy trying to breakdance in front of his parents who didnt look at his performance, but were more into the wushu performances on stage. Nevertheless he continued to perform, hoping someone would notice him. In fact my whole family was looking at him. hahah

I saw 2 small siblings at the games booth. The younger sis told her bro "kor kor, ni yao jiayou, yao ying wor" Her bro said "we hui ying de". I stood beside them to see the final outcome. Her bro didnt win, and looked disappointed. His sis pulled his hand, trying to pull him to another place while the bro was still reluctant to leave, perhaps unhappy about his failure, she said "kor kor bu yong jing lah, zhe ge game bu hao wan de, wo men qu zhao mama".

I saw a little boy telling his frends that the school field which was fenced was haunted by ghosts and told everyone nearby to keep away. He started exploring the field with his friends like a detective, using only the lantern as his source of light and cautiously taking every single step he took...

I saw a couple of little children trying to blow each others' flames in the lantern.

...

I saw all their innocence,...

It really made me happy...

I smiled.

Bro pierced his ear on friday. He looked more like an AH Beng now.

Dad was mad. Say he BU NAN BU Nu.

hai...

What a tiring week i had....

Ok... start with Sunday... Suki Buffet with Janice, Duan Yu, Yu Cui, Emily, Jia Hui and Chang Rong at cineleisure. Was supposed to be at Paradiz Centre but apparently the outlet was having some kind of renovation or erm closed down le bah. Anyway, was super full. Ate sashimi although I shldnt cosI cant take raw stuff. Got my punishment the following day. We ordered too much food and hahhah the naughty few of us decided to put it on a plate and after some arrangement, hehe put back onto the conveyer belt. hahah... we were all looking at where it go to, hahah and a pair of eyes from another table was eyeing at the dish hahah cos it wasnt supposed to be available on the conveyer belt i guess. Hahha... it wasnt long before one of the staff started inspecting the belt of sushi, hahah he must have found out something! Oops! It was really lucky that the many many plates of food that Janice ordered didnt come to us. Guess the staff there forgot, and lucky they did. Hahha if not we will really have problem swallowing them.

Monday wasnt really a nice day for me. Was brisk walking the long stretch of road into camp and at the same time contracting my ass muscles. Finally reached my unit and headed to toilet. Must be all the sashimi's fault. Had overnight Orderly duty that night after work till next morning. Dont want to talk about this other than the fact tt I was so *&^%)*^(^ screwed by that %^*&$. That night's duty was the worst I had encountered and cos I got all the ^*&)&*), didnt dare to sleep at all. And damn, the whole night I was vomitting. Dont noe wat i ate wrong ... .

Next morning, duty ended at 8 plus am. Showered and headed back to office for another day of clerical work. Super shagged.

But had ECA that night. No choice. Hai.

So super tired lah.

Then wednesday night, still very tired. After a day's of work, was busy ironing my uniforms and then realised that 2 out of the 3 new sets of my uniform that i have each only worn once got stained. Wasnt in a good mood that day and so my poor mum ended up having to face my black face and the rude attitude towards her.

Thursday, another day of overnight Orderly duty. Was having phobia of doing duty le. cos i seriously did not want a repeat of what happened on Monday.

Hahha but it turned out fine lah. Hahaha.

Managed to get 3 hrs of valuable sleep :)

Ok today is Friday. Whoo!!! the week seems super fast! hahaha. weekend came faster than expected.

Sorry biz frends, no time to plan for today's gathering. guess it has to be postponed again. paisei!

Just slacking around at home today. Tomorrow and sunday will be busy going out.

2007-09-16T10:10:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I feel my parents have done a lot for me. Or rather more than what they shld. They have been slogging so hard since I was still a baby, and till now an nsf. Perhaps I am a bit unfilial i guess. Waking up at 4 plus 5 am everyday, my parents start preparing for the day. Mum will start boiling water and prepare a glass of coffee/milo/horlicks for each of us. Dad will start preparing the stuff to bring to their stall. In between, they will take turn to pull their little kids out of the bed who always continue to sleep and sometimes even reply them with harsh words "Cannot 5 min izzit! Ni3 bu4 hui4 ting1 arh?!" They never said anything to reprimand us or anything. Then they will leave home by 6.30am.

Their hectic day begins at the coffeeshop at balestier. Parents will start preparing the stuff, mum cut the veg, prepare the fish, cut all the ingredients for the various dishes, while dad begins cooking. Working in such a complicated place is no easy. Often, they have to swallow many unhappiness without voicing out to us. Facing the hot wok the whole day is no easy feat for my dad. Often, we see him scalded by the hot oil, while mum will have fish scales in her fingers.

Yep, they continue to slog their lifes for their pampered kids. Near noon, Dad will get more busy with all the cooking at the back, while mum will have to serve the customers for their orders. She have to solo ask, serve and collect the payment. Sometimes it really ache my heart when I see them work so hard. And on some occasions, the customers are unreasonable, and also the people who frequent the place.

Still remembered a gang of workers who always bullied my bro when he was young. They will pull down his pants and humiliate him. I remembered that time my mum cried. But she couldnt retaliate, cause we needed the stall for the family to go on. She swallowed everything.

At the end of the day, they will pack up and head home at about 4.30pm. It is no rest time for them. Mum will start unpacking stuff while Dad will start sweeping the floor. Then mum will start washing the clothes while Dad mop the floor. Next, Mum will start preparing dinner for the hungry me who will be back from camp soon, so that once I reach home, I wld be able to indulge in the nice dishes.

After dinner, Dad will be the one washing the dishes and sweeping the floor around the dining area. Then he will be serving the pampered kids fruits. While mum will be inside the room ironing the clothes.

Until here, I guess I have been labelled as an unfilial child.

But it is worst than this. My parents save up every single cent, choosing not to take taxi, not to find entertainment for themselves, but just the TV as their only form of relaxation. And when they decided to buy a dollar of 4D, their kids will stop them from doing so, saying that it's a waste of money. They never go restaurants, unless it's the kids who pull them to go and pay for them. Cos they feel that 30 bucks for one person can be the meals of the whole family. Indeed they are right. They watch only a movie like once every 7/8 mths and once again cos the kids strongly insisted. They felt no need to spend unnecessary money.

All this money is spend on the kids, ie us, who doesnt really bother about the amount of money we spend every time.

And yet, we as kids dont do our part.

They both have gone through a lot. From the complicated coffeeshop stuff, to the messy relative relationship that we have, and also my mum's skin problem which added to more problems.

I told myself I must study and work hard. To show all the people who frequent the coffeeshop that kids of hawkers can do just as well, if not better than those stuck up rich families. And to these people - stop being so arrogant, and look down on people like us. Dont think that we are lousy and cant get to universities. My sis is a double degree holder in smu and got 5 As for her A levels and is currently on scholarship. And I am going uni too after I ord. So to these people who constantly look down on us, and shoot us with all the sarastic remarks, go and die.... (ok... cool down zy)

Dad is old le, so is mum. It's time for us to do sometime for our parents.

2007-09-14T23:12:00.000+08:00

ended work late today. Mdm went home late and so being the duty clerk I had to stayed behind for another hr. BIZ gathering cancelled, or rather postponed to a later date, cos too many guys cant make it. Was 'abandoned' somewhere in ang mo kio from my mdm's car and tried to find my way home from there. Took 13 to bishan, then 88 back home. Didnt wanted to go home so early. Stoned at the bus stop for quite some time where 2 bus 13 went by. So much thoughts through my head, I cant think well. Seriously I dont know what I shld be doing next.

I am so disappointed in myself, in many ways, in my current state of mind, in my laziness, in getting simple things done and everything else.

-------------------

while at the bus stop, for the time i didnt spend stoning, there was a student couple from AJC. they sat side by side, but apparently the gurl didnt really like the guy to sit so close to her to the extent of squezzing her. She shifted a little by a little, until she reached the edge. She was giving the pissed - look when the guy tried to act cute by doing all the funny or erm weird faces in front of her continuously for 10 minutes. The weird expressions were so funny lah, even I being the onlooker laughed, but the gurl was simply giving the pissed look. Perhaps the gurl had a bad day, or perhaps the guy need to reflect on himself.

From wat I see, he was too naive. Trying to do all the stupid actions and stuff. I am not saying that guys cannot do act-cute stuff for a gurl, but it was clear the gurl was more mature and wasnt in any way, into such stuff.

Yes, it's easy to comment on others. I guess, or rather I strongly feel to that I am naive too. Perhaps I shldnt think of any relationship stuff. It's just not right. I need to grow up first.

2007-09-10T21:27:00.000+08:00

K Boxed with siblings yesterday.

Face so pain now. Cos of the products I used on my face, face too dry and peeled. After applying the pimple creams and stuff, argh!!!! so pain, a stinging sensation whole day long. Now face is so RED.

Hai!

2007-09-07T21:07:00.000+08:00

Yeh! As part of my INTENSIVE SELF-IMPROVEMENT programme that I have planned for myself, I have seen a doctor at the National Skin Centre on wed which I applied leave for. Hair fall decreasing by a lot le. Got another round of medication - 1 bottle of shampoo, 1 bottle of hair scalp liquid, 1 cream for my eyebrows - for my hair, and yesh! not to forget my pimple outbreak - 2 mths supply of antibiotics, 1 facial wash, 1 morning pimple cream, 1 night pimple cream. Yep, I noe antibiotics is bad, got so many side effects like committing suicide and gastric pain, but for a person who cares about his face, nothin else cares! Yep, in my 3rd day using the products, hai.... faster leh! take effect leh!!! hahaha

Wed also met up with Michelle for a belated birthday dinner treat at Cartel@Marina Square. Ok... the food wasnt really to our expectation, all sooo not cook. Anyway, had a good chat with her and hmmm... had a much better understanding of wat its like to be studying medicine in nus. Stress, lots of work to do, but i guess its fun! hmm still duno wat's my desire choice.... After meeting up with Mic, realised that I miss all my JC friends a lot. Lots of memories....

2007-09-04T22:54:00.000+08:00

Sick again. I guess my body constitution is getting weaker, but perhaps this is why i got into Pes E, the medic predicted it.

Sunday night wasnt feeling too good. Decided to sleep early at 9 plus pm. At one plus midnight, received a call from Justin who was sick and wld not be going to camp next day. Asked if I could help him do his duty clerk for the day. Was still half-asleep, so said ok. Actually I had wanted to apply for MC on Monday. But apparently the "OK" that i said made it necessary for me to get out of the bed earlier than usual to report to camp in order to open up the office. Wanted to call someone else to replace me, but it seemed a bit too late le.

Dragged my way into the camp. It was terrible. Was having a fever, plus sore throat, and stomachache also.

Reached office together with Jiayong. Apparently, Justin called me and msg Jiayong the same thing! And so, both of us were told to do his duty. argh!!

Went into office, straight away started my routine stuff before informing the mdms that i wasnt feeling well and needed to report sick at the medical centre. But when they heard that, they started saying 'erm... you finish this one first'. Did sai gank for 3 different mdms before getting the green light to go see the MO.

Super long idiotic )%*&*^ wait at the medical centre. After getting a pathetic 1 day mc from the MO, was told to finish more saigank in the office before one nice mdm decided to drive me out of camp where i cabbed home.

Slept from 1pm to 6plus pm, then 9plus till 6am today.

No more fever now, but sore throat still persists, and having coughing now le.

Sianz.

On leave tomorrow for the big day. Hhahaha everyone in my office noes that I am going national skin centre to see doctor for my face. Hope to have ''QQ hua2 hua2 bu4 pa4 lao3 de ji1 fu1". hahahah

2007-09-02T17:07:00.000+08:00

2007-09-01T23:57:00.000+08:00

Met up with Bear and Daniel today at J8. Movie : Evan Almighty. Nice show, though certain parts were unrealistic. But moral of the story - do what you believe in, do not be affected by others' views. That's is wat i brought home after the show. After the movie, we hanged out at Haagen Daz for 1 hr plus, men's talk. hahah then home sweet home. Wat to do, Daniel need to spend time with family too, so we cant meet and go have more fun cos he bookout every sat afternoon and need to book in by sun night. Got some enlightenment from Daniel with regards to handling certain cases, thanks buddy!

today afternoon attended a Safety Seminar at HQMC with a few other nsfs frends and mdms. Seminars are seminars, and they never fail to make people sleep. Of cos, everyone I saw slept, ranging from pple with v low ranks to v high ones. It was so bad that the speaker said ' this qn is posted to all those few who are still awake '. I tried to open my eyes, but like wat happen during lectures for my jc days, i did take a short naps, or erm.... a few short naps. Was tired. Especially cos it's after lunch. Nsfs didnt stay for the refreshments but instead went back to Formation since it was only 1630hrs. Didnt want to eat, or erm I was hungry, but just dont like the idea of queuing up for the refreshments. I just dont like to queue for it. Mdms came back later than us, and one mdm brought back (da bao) food back for us. Certain mdms always dote us, and sometimes it's a bit too much that we become pampered. Another mdm pointed out that we ave no rights to take the snacks since we went there ourselves but chose not to queue for it. Thinking of wat she said, it was totally true. We are too pampered to realise that for certain things, wed shldnt wait for others to serve, but to do it ourselves. Lesson learnt, and a hungry tummy back home.

---------------

Oh ya, I got promoted. From the current PTE to CPL. My promotion was supposed to be Aug 18 but apparently no one in my office knew until my chief called to find out. Chief kept emphasising that I was in the ACCELERATED (yes she kept emphasising this word) assistant chief clerk scheme. Supposedly I am the assistant chief clerk, chosen becos of my A level results. So no need to wait for promotion from PTE to LCP then to CPL, but straight away bounce to CPL. According to NSFs from Career Planning Section, I will become 3rd Sgt next yr, but...... it means I WILL HAVE RESERVIST!!!! PES E PERSONNEL SHLDNT HAVE RESERVIST! hahaha wait later my fate same as Mr Ong who was also Asst chief clerk and later became Chief Clerk during his time in reservist. Dont really like to be promoted so quickly. Faster promotion means more work to do, but this is not that bad. Wat that is bad are the responsibilities that come along with it and the increase in demands on me.

But the good thing is, yeh! I got higher allowance now! CPL allowance is $470 as compared to only $400 that I have now per month. More spending power le! YEH!

---------------

DAmn! Do people drool when they sleep? I do! Not on my bed, but on the bus. I think this is even worst. Cos i am always really tired, everytime after work when i board bus 163 after switching from 167/980/169, i will sleep all the way to the bus stop near my hse. and cos i am always sleeping, it is becoming so often that i miss my stop and end up at tpy interchange. ANd cos I am so tired, plus my mouth is always open (those who observe me or noe me well enough shld noe that v clearly), everytime i sleep i will drool. And it seems like it so disgusting and funny when u see a nsf in no. 3 uniform drooling on board a bus everyday. Everyday when i alight from the bus my shirt will be wet. Worse still, sometimes i drool on my pants. Have to cover with my bag lah!!!!! Today, once again, the drooling routine continues. Was sitting right at the back, with two lesbians acting intimately. I ignored and slept. Near my stop, i drooled and woke up. DAMN! Argh! while the two lesbians were fondling one another, one was facing me and saw that i drool. I saw her disgusted look, hahah and i fake on to sleep until the door open then i quickly stand up to alight. Hai.... MY IMAGE TOTALLY GONE. Hope I dont drool again tomorrow, or at least dont be seen doing so on the bus. hhaahhaa

---------------

Tomorrow going Army Openhse in the afternoon! Got half day off from work to go for the openhse together with the other nsfs after lunch. Why dont go, got shuttle bus to and fro to pasir leba camp for the openhse, and also can escape from the office, of cos, i will be the 1st to say "I WANT TO GO". hahaha. Oh yah! for those guys who plan to go for the Army Openhse, hahah Felicia Chin will be making guest appearance in UNIFORM on saturday. More details pls go to the Army Openhse webby.

---------------

Only realised that it id teacher's day tomorrow after receiving an sms from nyjc management saying that 'for those visiting your tchers, pls not that they will only be in sch from 9am'. Time really pass very quickly, and especially so when i keep myself busy everyday. Guess this is wat i need to do now - keep myself busy and dont think of anything else.

Happy Teachers' Day to all those who have guided me in my education journey

2007-08-28T22:22:00.000+08:00

Seriously, I am feeling stressed now. Duno why. But I guess it is this stress that I am having now that makes all my pimples pop. Need some time for myself to sort out my thoughts. Guess tomorrow night is a good chance.

Sorry people, if I actually behave a bit rude or pissed off by every single thing cos I am STRESSED!! Yep, I noe. Being stressed doesnt give me the rights to show a black face and rebut everything u all say. I will try to control my feelings. Zhen Yao will be back to normal soon. Hhahah

Been asking myself this question. Does being kind = STUPID. This is wat I hear from others whenever I do something which in my own perception, is the right thing to do. Perhaps, I shld just stop being "kind", and do things that make me a BAD GUY. Perhaps I shld really do so. It seems that when I am nice to others, I dont get as much in return. Of course, not everyone is like tt. But somehow, I have met quite a few people like this, and I am tired of consoling myself that "perhaps, he/she is nice. It's just that I dont see it yet".

Been visiting the library more frequently these few days, reading up on self-improvement books to make myself a better person. But I wonder, are all these relevant to me in the first place...

Tired now, from last night overnight duty, dont feel like thinking further....

_____________________

I HAVE DECIDED.

After MUCH consideration, yes i emphasise on the word MUCH, AND after MUCH CRITICISMS,

I HAVE DECIDED....

To put on Braces!

2nd sis did hers 2 yrs ago, bro started putting last yr and will be removing soon.

Time for me to put it too. Enough of all the BUNNY comments.

I HAVE DECIDED.

AND
I HAVE ALSO DECIDED....

To see a doctor to treat my FACE

after getting criticised everyday.

My appointment with doc with national skin centre will be on next wed morning. Guess I have to apply leave.

I get comments like

'I see you face I sianz diao, so many pimples, look so dirty'

'Are you sure u got bathe or not'

'I see I got no appetite to eat'

I hate being pestered by salesgirls in those watson, guardian and other stores who push all the treatment creams and facial wash to me everytime I had to enter to buy hair spray.

And sorry to the salesgirl from watsons tpy central last week. Was in a bad mood le. When u approached me I said 'It's ok. I dont need it. Thank you'

Or perhaps I shldnt apologise to you. Cos i already warned you to stay away. Apparently u didnt choose to heed my advice. And so I shouted at you to go away and I left the store, pissed.

..... it seems that i have subconsciously become less "kind" to others.

who cares?!

(please forgive this 18 going 19 yr old boy who is experiencing a difficult time while growing up)

2007-08-26T12:15:00.000+08:00

Was sort of a study day for me yesterday, going thr all the stuff I have learnt in jc times.

After ECA in the morning, spent my time with cherylan going thr qns on functions, differentiation and stuff. After which evening, the supposed-to-be hangout with my good frends were changed to coaching my jc 2 juniors on chemistry. But hahah maths still not so bad, when it came to chemistry, basically I was just sitting there while they studied, cos hahah most of the things I dont remember le. OOpS! Can see that all the j2s are very stressed up now. In fact, they must. Just like wat happened to me a yr ago. When I couldnt get all the info into my head despite spending 3/4 of the day with my notes, and continuously feel that time is running out.

But seriously now to think of it, the period of time mugging with all my friends in school late in the night is really fun. When I did the maths qns yesterday, I realised that it was fun doing all the sums. Perhaps, its becos it has been like 3/4 yr since I last touch my notes and did all the sums. Perhaps if I am the one preparing for the exams now, I wouldnt have this view.

But personally I really feel, and I bet many will agree with me, that studying is better than working. Although I am not working now, but rather serving the nation as a CLERK, it seems that the situation that I am in now in the office, is somewat the situation i will face in the future when I step out into the working world. And I dun really enjoy it.

How I wish my 2 yrs of NS will end asap, and let me go back to studies again. 478 days to ORD.

So all my friends who are so busy and pissed with mugging for the prelims and the upcoming A levels, dont give up, cos believing in urself is wat you need to achieve ur goals.

_______________

Didnt have breakfast yesterday, as usual for most saturdays cos after reading newspaper at 7am I will leave for ECa. Ate Mac for lunch. No other options cos cant possibly bring in outside food into Mac when me and Cherylan were there revising maths.

Dinner was together with my juniors. had KFC.

Body is rather heaty now. Need drink more water...

_______________

Yeh! Changed my blog skin! Have to change it cos Bro kope mine for his blog which he names it ENDERFUL, which is like pirated version of my YAODEFUL. hahaha...

Going for a haircut later, yep haircut again, although I really dun wish to cut my hair, if not will be caught with long hair :(

Making a trip to library later also. Need some nutrition for my mind..

After which going with parents to temple to bai4 bai4 for my grandfather and grandauntie, granduncle on my paternal side.

Yep, tt's all for my plan today.

Overnight duty tomorow. Sianz. Pimples will get only from bad to worst! hahaha

2007-08-24T20:05:00.000+08:00

SICK and TIRED today.

Zongyao was duty clerk today but he wanted to report sick. Morning when I woke up there were 2 missed calls from him. Called him realised that he needed me to call Justin cos Justin got overnight orderly duty, and so can help to open up the office, while Jiayong can do the other duty clerk duties for the rest of the day. Hai... But couldnt contact Justin cos it seemed his phone was switched off. Sianz lah. Called Charles, Jiayong, Pierre to get Justin no just in case I got the wrong no. in my phone but argh!!! no one picked up my calls!?!!?!!

It was 06.50am le. Oh Shit! Damn! Had no choice but to rush down to camp by cab to make sure I open up the place before all the mdms come. ARGH :( One day of allowance gone just like tt! $10.50..... Anyway after reaching outside the camp, had to walk so far in lah. So bloody pissed cos I was sweating so much by the time I entered office.

Chief was pissed with ZY cos he didnt managed to hand in certain assignments, but I guess it wasnt really his fault since no one wld expected himself to fall ill. But apparently she didnt believe that he was really sick. Anyway, chief throw all the things to me. Things which I didnt do before and had to submit.

Plus all the stuff which I already had to do for today, it was a super shagged day for me.

Face already rotting with pimples, from all the heatiness in my body, despite drowning myself in bottles of water.

Late afternoon body started to feel a little hot and I guess fever started then.

Saw doctor just now. Ate my pills and slacking at home now....
