A glimpse of life

First day of no work...

2007-06-04T18:04:00.000+08:00

Yes clearing my leave..1st day..early in the morning sent J to work then went to East Coast alone to Rollerblade...wah majam very healthy lifestyle like that. Guess it will be just a one off thing man..wake up so early everyday is not my style haha..

Then needless to say, the rest of the day was rotting and rotting and further rotting at home..Must keep myself entertain with programs liao haha..kinda miss the office...

Last day at work...

2007-06-02T01:48:00.000+08:00

Well last day at work liao..starting next week will be clearing my leave. Hmm had my farewell lunch with my boss and colleagues today at one of the restaurants at Raffles Hotel, think the name has Seah St in it. It's very similar to Billy Bomber concept. my boss, the other manager & myself had Wild Pacific Dory which wasn't very filling while the other 2 colleagues, D & L had Beef Pot Roast which looks pretty appetizing. My boss decided that we should have some dessert after that..wah the dessert was even more filling then the main course...they had 7 layer chocolate cake while I had the double chocolate fudge brownie. Wah it's super duper sweet..meant specially for the sweet tooth. But still tasted great..what a great feeling to be indulging in such tantalizing dessert. After the meal, everyone was in ready mood to fall asleep...

In appreciation, I got some simple gifts for my boss and colleagues as a momento and to my surprise D & L shared with our next door neighbours (S, S & B) and got me a gift too (a card holder)...so sweet and so touched. Subsequently after work, D & L wanted to have a farewell dinner for me..so we went to a Japanese restaurant at Marina Square for dinner..time really flies..we actually had dinner and tcss at the reataurant till it closed, which was around 9.30pm then we went to play pool. Then it was time to go as D & L gotta rush for their last train...They are really wonderful people even though It was just a short duration of one year working with them..Great boss too..I gonna miss them...

Cleared..

2007-05-29T14:50:00.000+08:00

Stuff almost cleared...though haven't worked here for really that long but there's still quite a bit to bring back with me...one of the things that I would miss dearly is the view here...simply fantastic view...the next thing i guess would be the people here...though not a big place with many people to miss but it's a small office like this that people have closer bonds i guess..

Well..these few days suddenly got 无聊 ba..started finding those interesting mysteries such as The Flying Dutchman probably due to Pirates of the Carribean; 永恒国度，人王与圣母 probably very much induced by 我和僵尸有个约会; Bermuda Triangle。Stuffs like that used to interest me many many years back when I was much younger but these few days probably too bored liao..started to do all the 'extra' stuffs...tried to dig into the deep secrets behind the mysteries..apparently not much information available on it..or maybe it's just me.

I am actually bored to the extent that I'm watching how people fish on YouTube...then slowly the tags actually led me to sea creatures, then aliens, then UFOs, then ghosts...surprising it led me back to car racing...probably because ghosts drift and cars drift too...

Any places to recommend for a short trip during this period of time...sianz..school holidays leh but if i don't go for a short trip before I start in my new job. I will feel very 对不起自己。

Would you be there - Redwan Ali

2007-05-28T16:59:00.000+08:00

Finally manage to write out the full version liao...to all lovers of Redwan Ali's song. Enjoy...

Would you be there - Redwan Ali (Full Version)

If I were blue, would you be there for me
and whisper in my ear that's ok
Would you stand by me,
let me hold you tight
and say you love me one more time

If I feel good, would you slow dance with me
and touch my lips with tender loving care
Would you die for me,
Would you run with me, and never look back

Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one to take my breath away

Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one to take my breath away
Would you be there...

If I am alone, would you still think of me
and wish that you could hold me now
Would you die for me, Would you run with me,
All the way...

Would you be there to love to be with me

Would you swear that your love is always true

Would you say that you'll always be the one to take my breath away

Would you be there to save my soul tonight

Would you swear that your love is always true

Would you say that you'll always be there

To kiss my pain away...

Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one to take my breath away

Would you be there to save my soul tonight
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be there
To kiss my pain away...

Would you be there...
For Me...

Would you be there - Redwan Ali

2007-05-24T22:37:00.000+08:00

Really start to love this song...it's one of the songs in Mars vs Venus 幸福双人床 shown on Channel 8 @ 2100hrs. Tried extracting the lyrics while listening to it..quite meaningful..

Would you be there - Redwan Ali

If I were blue, would you be there for me
and whisper in my ear that's ok
Would you stand by me,
let me hold you tight
and say you love me one more time

If I feel good, would you slow dance with me
and touch my lips with tender loving care
Would you die for me,
Would you run with me, and never look back

Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one to take my breath away

Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one to take my breath away
Would you be there...

你是我呼吸的唯一理由。以后你说什么，我的心都不会说不的。

Letter of Resignation

2007-05-14T14:06:00.000+08:00

Well..I have just tendered my resignation but sad to say..unsuccessful. My resignation has always been unsuccessful on the first occasion..I am always rejected of the right to resign haiz..haha. But my boss is really good to me..took me a lot of time and struggle before I convinced mself that I should leave the company. But he made me a counter offer which was slightly better than what the other company is offering me even though I insisted I need to leave ..he still wanted me to consider his offer. Well no choice got to consider ba...But well I guess he should know that my answer is still the same. Guess once I submit the letter, my mind is already made it and I don't think he can change my mind abt it...although i gotta say the offer sounded attractive with and offer of 10% of company share..hmm but it's not really making money now also haiz...I just found it so hard to break the news to him..took me sometime before I entered his room to talk. He tried for the past 1 and a half hrs to convince me but to no avail...well guess gotta reject him another day...so sad..

Ah Ma..

2007-05-11T12:42:00.000+08:00

My Ah Ma's has very strong will power...for the past 2 days when we visited her, she was trying to walk around and started having very good appetite. Very happy to see her back to normal again but nevertheless still worried. Think still need to observe her for a while and make sure everything is ok. She still talks about what happened that day..saying that she saw a lady with a big cat standing beside her bed. Dad said that the description resembles my grandma's mother-in-law. We kept telling her it was her fever that caused the hallucinations and that she was thinking too much. Dad keep telling her to be strong and not think of such things. Well yesterday saw her smiling again...Glad, happy & reassured...Thank you for all those who blessed my Ah Ma.

Grandma...

2007-05-09T02:09:00.000+08:00

My parents were supposed to be in Genting gambling, out of a sudden received a call from them saying that they'll be rushing back by plane cause Grandma is seriously sick. I called Grandma's place and hear that it was pretty serious with the doctor citing that these 3 days are the crucial time. We rushed down to the airport at 12 midnight to fetch my parents who rushed back from Genting and proceeded straight to Grandma's house.

When I saw Grandma, I thought everything was fine as she was still able to talk and gesture. Then we were told that Grandma was too weak and was unable to walk on her own. She has been having a high fever prior to our arrival. I suddenly realised I have not taken a really good look at Grandma and how much she has changed, how weak and frail she has grown. But the final breaking point was when Grandma started to give each of us money as if she was trying to divide her fortune. I couldn't handle it anymore and broke down. I shouldn't have done that though because it cause everyone else in there to start...and it was the first time i saw my dad cry. But i really couldn't help myself, tears kept welling up my eyes...i even left the room so as not to stir up emotions but nothng seem to be able to stop it.

Everything seems to flash back...she has changed, changed so much. I have never realised how weak and frail she has become...why what happened. The grip on my hand when she held it...so firm yet so distance. There's really a mixed feeling of the 3 days cited by the doc.........

Taiwan & Birthday

2007-01-02T20:14:00.000+08:00

Wah another month and into the new year...some updates.

I came back from Taiwan just before the earthquake, had my birthday celebrations with my dear bros again. Really appreciate the effort that they always put in to organise a gathering on Steven and my birthday...so sweet of them. Then there was this Jewel box New Year countdown that I was supposed to go..but sad to say...halfway through I suffered from food poisoning..so I wasted the $76 and another $115 for the doctor...arghhh..so spent my day at home counting down in my sleep. Sianz..Until now still not completely recovered yet...

Nevertheless, still looking forward to a fruitful and fulfilling year ahead..Some pictures to share for the Taiwan trip.

For Sharing...

2006-12-05T20:17:00.000+08:00

Just for sharing .....

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"

The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying,

"Just take care of my eyes, dear."

This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.

Specially dedicated to the assholes out there

2006-10-15T16:47:00.000+08:00

Dedicated to the inconsiderate !#$%^& out there. If you are one of those, please wake up.
Came upon Jer's blog and remembered that I had been trying to bear with stupid inconsiderate people for a bloody long time.

The person mentioned in Jer's blog is one of the people I see every morning in the lift when I'm going to my office. They would just stand and wait for the door to open or close without bothering to press the button even though they are closest to it and have nothing on their hands.

For the benefit of those who does not take the public transport meaning buses or MRT. I seem to see a lot of people not bothering to give up their seats to pregnant women or elderly persons. Hey come on..you might be pregnant someday, or you might have a wife who would become pregnant someday and you will definitely grow old someday! So why can't you just be considerate and give your bloody seat up? Would it kill you to just stand for a while? I can understand if sometimes, we are really damn tired and fall asleep without realising there's pregnant or elderly persons around..but hey don't tell me the whole darn row or maybe just the 3 persons seating in front of them can't give their seats up..ALL 3 sleeping AH. Wah piangz..I really seen this on many occasions. I can only give up one seat lor..and that's is about all i can do. I really feel like screaming at some of them at times when they obviously realised that someone needed the seat more then them.

Maybe they should invent some kinda seats to pierce your asses if you don't know how to give up your seats. Apart from seats, the next thing is the railings and pole for you to hold on to. Some of them, I believe should be pole dancers who loves the poles so much that they can't wait to stick their body on it as close as possible. I always see these 'pole dancers' every now and then on the train..if the train is not crowded I don't give a damn. But when you are in a crowded train and there are old folks and other people trying to grab onto a railing, these 'pole dancers' should keep their distance from the pole and not lean onto the bloody pole as if it's theirs. Get a life, go get a pole and stick it at home and you can play with it whichever way you like. You can even shove it up your @$$...no one cares as long as you do it at home!

If everyone just be a bit more considerate..wouldn't the world be a better place to live in? Too many people are being self centered and selfish, sometimes even myself subconsciously. But I really don't think that's the way it should be. Is there always a need for the gahmen to have campaigns 'Courtesy begins with me' before people know what is being courteous all about.

彩虹天堂
刘畊宏

我不知不觉又徘徊在从前
秋风悄悄的呼唤听来尽是孤单
落叶的期盼片片左右为难
心走寂寞攀跟著飘进黑暗

我不闻不问也许好过一点
被遗憾关在房间挣扎只是拖延
无望的空谈一声声的轻叹
回忆扯不断怎黱摆脱纠缠

找不到方向往彩虹天堂
有你说的爱在用幸福触摸忧伤
两个人相守直到白发苍苍
自由的飞翔在灿烂的星光

找不到方向往彩虹天堂
有你说的爱在用幸福触摸忧伤
两个人相守直到白发苍苍
自由的飞翔在灿烂的星光有你在我身旁

First outing with new friends

2006-09-23T16:12:00.000+08:00

Have been sometime since I updated.
Reason for not updating, quite a few leh...
Lazy...nothing much to update apart from work...
Work's still the same...slow slow slow...
But I told myself it will not be the same in 2 months time.

Well anyway yesterday went out with 2 of my colleagues and my ex next door neighbouring office friend...confusing right..nevermind doesn't matter. We went singing and to my surprise, it was the first time my male colleague sang...tried really hard opening his golden mouth. Anyway it was a short and simple night. Everyone left after the singing session ended..nonetheless, i guess they did enjoy themselves.

Suddenly something set me thinking...what is more important in life? Is it having a career or starting a family. I have always been thinking that for me, it is carving out a career or a business of my own before settling down. But that means I will have to make her wait which doesn't seem very fair right...well but if I do not have a stable career, she will have to suffer with me which I don't wish to happen...that's why I prefer to have a career of my own first before proceeding to the next phrase in life. Wah think already will have headache...better don't think. Go sleep better haha.

New Admin Staff..

2006-09-05T22:51:00.000+08:00

Don't be KPO, otherwise later kanna curse..haha

Sick...

2006-08-25T21:32:00.000+08:00

The feeling I dread is back again...
The feeling of being sick...
Darn...
I have been sick for the past whole week
And it's beginning to sux...
The heat seems to be trapped in my body
coming on and off.
Please let it just go away...

Haven't been updating for close to a month.
Anyway nothing's happened so far.
Work's still the same...slow
I seem to be doing everything now,
learning how to juggle between sales, designing of ad, brochures, etc.
Learn learn learn...good to learn new stuffs bah.
Recently just had a change of title but no change in pay...
So no difference haha...

Been seeing people coming in for the admin position interview
been one whole month liao but my boss still hasn't seem to decide on one.
But nvm, not that it affect me anyway...

Still feeling a bit heaty...
think go and sleep more..
Kunzzzzzzzz liaoz...

Leaving without notice...

2006-08-05T00:47:00.000+08:00

My office admin left yesterday,
With just a resignation letter on my boss table,
And an email stating the reason.

Very sudden,
She didn't even talk to my boss.
Left with immediate notice.
According to my boss,
she couldn't get along with the other female colleague.
Think she really couldn't take it anymore.

Haiz...work is like that mah.
Bound to meet people whom you might not have a liking for
but that doesn't mean you have to show it at work.
There are bound to be difference among people with different characters
So sometimes it's good to put all the differences aside during work.
Sometimes you just can't bring too much of your own personality to work.
Bear with it loh...otherwise say goodbye like what my admin did.

Put aeroplane...

2006-08-01T23:19:00.000+08:00

Had an appointment today with a client,
in the end when i reached the place.
Client was nowhere to be seen.
Called her, she said she just went out.
Didn't even bother to say sorry or even sound sorry.
It was a wasted trip cum a hole in the pocket for the cab.

So what if you're the client,
does that give you the right to waste people's time?
愤怒

不过我相信我会克服一切困难，
赢得这个客户。哈哈哈

Like what they always say 有智者。。。shi jin cheng.

来得快，去的也快。
是否是我们对彼此的要求太高了？
每个人都有追求自己幸福的权利。
幸福就在一顺间，
好好的保握你所拥有的幸福。
千万别让幸福轻易的流失哦。

5th year anniversary

2006-07-25T21:55:00.000+08:00

Yeah back from Genting liao
How time flies...5 years liao
2nd time we went to Genting since 2002
Surprising this time round didn't lose money
Didn't win much too though
But at least we lasted inside the casino
Stayed there from 11pm to 6am in the morning
Never lose money somemore...
Somehow feel good that I finally didn't lose money in the casino
Previous occasion when we went,
we would only last 2 to 3 hours inside and after that all is dry
So this trip didn't waste so much
Rest & relax trip

Yeah today actual day
The past few days already seen a big hole in my pocket
So what more today...
Just meeting up for a 2 hour dinner costed $120...kaka
One of the reason why the meetup was so short
Because today 7th month 1st day
Better go home early
So most of the celebrations brought forward,
except for the dinner.

Taste Paradise, does it ring a bell.
Yes, I had dinner there.
Nice ambience among the shophouses located along Mosque St
Food is great too, let see what we ate.

First on the list is the appetizer,
seaweed with mushrooms, prawns & scallops.
2nd dish was panfried foie gras with baby abalone,
ohhh the sauce is marvellous.
3rd dish was lamb...didn't like it in the past,
but today's lamb meat tasted good.
The sauce seems to have covered the smell of it.
4th dish was cod fish.
The cod just simply melted the moment it entered my mouth,
and the tasty sauce topped with shrimp roe...wahhh
5th dish was beehoon,
Even the beehoon seems tasty.
And last but not least mango sago ice cream.
Well it is pretty reasonably priced if you rate it accordingly to the standard of the food.
However, it seems a bit steep in an area like Chinatown.

Did I forget to mention...
Moses Lim happened to be there with some reporters
Think he was invited to provide his valuable comments for the food there.

Therefore overall damage...haiz decided not to count
Scare later bang my head on the wall kaka.
As long as money spent is worth,
then it is worth spending...*blink blink*

Hole in the pocket...

2006-07-18T23:03:00.000+08:00

Just one outing and i burnt a big hole in my pocket.
One small bag and it costed me close to 800 bucks...arghhh
Well I got something in return though but it was less than 1/2 of the above cost.
*sob sob* But haha it was worth the money to see a smile on her face.
But darn it was the first time I bought a bag for that amount...kaoz.
The heart majam pierced by a thousand needles.
But the real pain came when her friend say she has 25% discount for the shop.
Arghhhh...I felt like i have just fallen into a bottomless pit.
Took home and examine the bag...
Wasn't gold plated inside...
but at least it smell of leather.
Some kind of consolation i guess.

The thing that i got in return is a Briefcase...
Also don't understand why the briefcase so expensive.
Than I realized something...
Both smelled of leather...
Maybe leather price getting more expensive kaoz...
Stufix...
Anyway I liked the briefcase lah.
Took some pictures to assure myself that it was money worth spending.
But 5 year liao, so these presents should be just adequate lah hor...

Taxi Fare Hike!!!

2006-07-15T01:17:00.000+08:00

Complains, complains & complains...

Just these 2 days alone, I spent $42.50 on cab fare.
Darn and it's just for 2 trips.
The first one was probably due to the long distance.
From Paya Lebar to Jurong.
But the second one is from my house to City Hall,
which I used to pay less than $15 for...
I had to pay $20 for the trip yesterday with all the increase in surcharge.
I boarded the cab with a surcharge of $2,
then ERP gantry kanna $3.
Reach there $15, total fare $20...
That was the amount I used to pay for taking a cab from Pasir Ris to Jurong.

I just feel that taxi fares are getting more and more expensive,
I think the fare would one day grow to the standard of Japan's cab.
After some consideration, it might be more worth getting a car,
provided oil prices, ie. petrol prices stopped rising.
But that virtually seems impossible with the stupid attacks going on
and with the oil prices just reaching record high of $78.40.
Can bang head on the wall again,
cause just when i picked up confidence to enter the bloody market.
The oil prices went up and cause the market to fall.
!#$%^&*)!(*^*

JB Makan Session

2006-07-15T00:50:00.000+08:00

So what's up for the week.
Hmmm went to JB for makan.
Yeah, with my brothers & sis.
Food was absolutely fantastic,
5 dishes in total,
Mini 'Xiang Ba Bang', Vegetable,
Pepper crab, Lala & Lobster...

After dinner, it seems that the guys didn't have their fill.
So we proceeded to have the King of fruits,
Durians!
I have never tasted such delicious durians before.
Probably because I always got those 3 for $10 type.
We bought a total of 4 durians which costed around RM$100.
The seller told us that 2 were normal ones and the other 2 were XO 'Zheng' ones,
He ask us to finish the normal ones before trying the XO ones.
After trying the normal ones, I thought I ate the wrong ones,
Cause they tasted pretty good liao...
But when I tried the XO ones...omg the taste *Fabulous*
So out of this world.
The smell lingered on my fingers till today.
Not because i didn't wash my hands,
I scrubbed it real hard ok.

Just when I though we had our fill,
they suggested to have Stingray.
Wah their stomach seems to be able to contain a lot
Finally we made our way back after the stingray
with an additional load and a smile on the face.

Catching up...

2006-07-10T23:45:00.000+08:00

Done some catching up today
Ate at Swensons...
Can't recall when was the last time I ate there
Food still tastes the same
But menu changed
No changes in the variety of food though
Still like crayfish pasta the most...slurps

Thought I don't have to be activated during weekends
But @#$ was I wrong...
Got activated back to office on Saturday due to alarm activation
*Grumbles* Security of office is now all mine...haha

Hurt

2006-07-05T23:10:00.000+08:00

Hurt...did you ever get hurt in the line of duty
2 of my friends got hurt today in the line of duty
Jer fyi, you happen to know one of them
worried for them
felt better after hearing that they are fine
Only thing I'm sure is the dumb a s s will be f#*ked
or maybe I should rephrase it...he is f*#ked

Safety is always emphasized in this line
Have you chanced upon death himself
You will get at least a chance in this line haha

Pray that they'll get well soon.
Some part of me still belongs there
I still feel so involved
It's just something I can't slip away from
It's in me...

*Listening to Five For Fighting - Superman
It's not easy...

Finally...

2006-07-04T23:46:00.000+08:00

Finally...
after sending out countless mails
I received a call
Yes...my first step out
Felt so good
But it's just the beginning
it's not even a done deal yet...

A jog finally

2006-07-01T00:02:00.000+08:00

What a day...cutting my hair after work and eventually or should I say finally pushed myself to go jogging at 9.30pm. I can't even recall when was the last time I went jogging. Before I went, I decided to drag my meimei along with me. It proved to be a good catching up with my mei on what she has been doing lately and also the grumbles that she had due to the fact that I dragged her along for a jog.

We kinda like spend only 40mins jogging and another 20mins at 2 different exercise corners. I wanted to go to an exercise corner with pull-up bars and stuff to train up and mei wanted to go to those new kind of exercise corner whereby they have those funny funny exercise equipment.

Eventually when we finished jogging and exercising at my intended exercise corner, mei dragged me to the funny funny exercise corner. Prior to that, she still wanna play with the swing haha I guess mei a bit deprived of childhood memories loh. How worse can it get...Well when we reached the funny exercise corner and cool down for a while, mei dragged me to play SEE-SAW with her loh haha. Which made me think back; when I was young, did I ever play see-saw with mei before? Can't recall liao, anyway so paiseh 2 adults sit on the see-saw haiz. But I could see mei grinning from ear to ear and she was really happy so I just played along loh haha...long long time malu once nevermind. Just worried someone captured it on video and send to press then i become the famous 'see-saw man' overnight.

Nevertheless, it was still a good jog, something that I wanted to do but was too lazy to do. I realised that jogging creates an opportunity for family bonding and stuff to relive your childhood days kaka...

Father's Day

2006-06-19T23:35:00.000+08:00

So how did you celebrate your Father's day.
For those who are already having the Father title...
Hope you're enjoying it haha.
Cause I don't think it's easy.

So how did I celebrate Father's day for my Dad...
Well we just had a simple dinner which was booked in advance at the Hongkong Street.
One thing which made me rather guilty was...
I forgotten about the present which I was supposed to get the day before dinner...
Shucks...luckily there's JP nearby.
Managed to get a last minute one but still felt very guilty
How can I let this day slip my mind...
Ha well anyway Dad still liked the present

I realised people put more emphasis on Mother's day rather than Father's day
Any reason for that?
I think they're both important, don't you think so...

Business Trip

2006-06-15T23:14:00.000+08:00

Should I or should I not?
Hmmm go or don't go?
Would it be enriching?
Go will waste a bit of my money,
Don't go, will save my boss money.
Just short distance to neighbouring country hmmm
My conscience says 'help boss to save money'
The devil in me says 'who cares, I'm not paying for the trip'.

Final decision...

To think about it for another few more days
since I still have 2 weeks to decide.

Every breath you take

2006-06-14T00:21:00.000+08:00

Every Breath You Take

So sick this few days...
Can't seem to talk
Woke up one morning and thought I lost my voice
Even swallowing my own saliva was a torture
My nose...blocked blocked blocked arghhhh
Felt a bit better after viewing the clip below.

Sea of Red

2006-06-09T00:29:00.000+08:00

Sea of Red

The harder you try, the harder it gets.
The higher you climb, the harder you fall.
Have been seeing red for the past month or so,
Drowning in my own blood...
Darn it...
Just when you thought it has bottomed out,
it just went further south !@#$%^&*

Life...

2006-06-02T20:06:00.000+08:00

Has it been 2 weeks. Yes I guess I've lost track of time.
So what happened in this 2 weeks.

In brief,
Lost 4k in the unpredictable market
Thought of jogging (but didn't go)
Felt sick (and still feeling sick)
Work but not producing results
Met up with only 3 friends (yes little rabbit and the grandmother is included)
Feel like going for a holiday
Have plans to start a business
Got 2 companies calling me to go for interviews. (however, I rejected)

Yep that's about what happened during these 2 weeks. Nothing much though. My work is the most worrying part now. Not worrying about my rice bowl but instead worrying for my boss. I've been there for close to 2 months but the business structure is still not completely up and functioning and he seems to be fine about it. I have taken 2 months of pay and it just makes me feel uneasy with the company not up and going. I'm gonna have to push this thingy at a faster rate.

Heard a lot about this industry from those who are in this line. Some say good, some say bad. But after some thoughts, if it was really that bad, then why the @#$ are you still in this line. Maybe you should switch to something else. So I still have faith in this market, I'm gonna give myself 1 to 2 years to test this market out and if it doesn't work out, then it's time for me to think of something else.

Suddenly, don't know whether it's due to office work; the thought of going to chillout places after work seems to have returned. So anyone who needs a chilling out buddy, call me. For a $10 donation, please dial 1900-.......

Long Weekend

2006-05-15T23:02:00.000+08:00

Well just a fast recap of what happened last week. Finally met up with lovely K for a nice dinner and a long talk till we forgot about time. Seems like my memory is failing me cause there's lots of things that I can't seem to recall, I think old liao haha. I guess it's what people know as selective memory, remembering only certain things and forgetting some which you might wanna hide away from haha. Anyway it was like really hard to get to meet each other...guess just too busy. Ya people always use this as a reason...busy lah, too much work lah. Although there's lots of work, I think we should still try to find time to accompany our close ones and friends. Yes and that's what I did during the long weekend.

Let me see, I started my Thursday evening celebrating J's mom birthday at No signboard restaurant...hmmm bill came up to $300 but the food wasn't very much to my liking though or maybe my mood was kinda affected. But I still see lots of people pouring in leh, maybe I don't know how to appreciate good stuff haha. After that, her family left; then J and me went to Railway Mall for a drink before proceeding home.

Friday. Went to JE to catch MI III, pretty nice show and the tickets were compliments from my good brother. Had a simple curry chicken dinner at the foodcourt. So friday was pretty simple and past pretty quickly.

Saturday. Went out at 3pm to Kbox with J and sang till 7pm. Thereafter, met my band of brothers who I have not seen for a long time or should I say have not hung out in a big group for a long time. We couldn't think of any reason why we met up because everytime we met up for a purpose like birthdays or special occasions. So I guess this time we met up either to celebrate Vesak Day or Mother's Day haha. After dinner at Chongqing steamboat, we went to a ktv pub located at Temple Street. Then started drinking, singing and playing pool, haizzz...talk about pool so sad..win 2 guys in the end lose to a girl haha. Girls nowadays are not to be belittled haha. Then we started playing the stupid games we always play and in the end, we managed to finish the whole bottle of Chivas before we left for home. So nice to catch up with them again.

Sunday. Mother's Day...yeah Happy Mother's day. Bought a simple SK pendant for my Mom and we booked a table for dinner at the Soup Restaurant. The food seems easier to finish compared to the time when we were having our Chinese New Year Eve dinner there. This time round we managed to finish everything in half an hour. Super fast hor.

So that's how I spent my long weekend which I find pretty well spent. I had a chance to spend time with my close ones and my friends though not all but at least some. So those who are so busy and no time to meet me, stop finding excuses. A person will always be busy, it's a matter of how you make time out for your friends. So grab a phone and call me now...hehe :)

Familiar Faces

2006-05-05T22:16:00.000+08:00

Well, kinda like getting use to the new workplace. Though not very use to the 'few' people in the office. And to think that there are so few people in the office, there's still politics going on...kaoz. Let's not go into politics...too tough for me to swallow. Hmmm talking about politics, tomorrow is polling day, but me so sad still no chance to vote. I think my area too wulu, so no one wanna come and fight...or maybe the party here is very strong and no one dares to come...hmmm better don't comment too much on politics, stay away from it safer. I chicken little...'help help the sky is falling'.

Anyway, there's lots of free play in my current job. I'm basically left to do what I think I should do, so pretty much leeway. That makes me wonder why I'm still working till almost 8+ everyday. Maybe I'm hoping that efforts put in will equal rewards received.

Since I started working, bumped into a few friends who seemed to be working in town too. Today, I bumped into 'S' in the train. She's supposed to be staying just a few block away from me but we seldom bump into each other. So coincidentally, bumped into her today and learnt that she has just tendered her resignation not long ago too and joining a new company next week. Guess the bug for resigning is spreading out there...till now, I have at least 3 friends who just resigned, not inclusive of myself. I guess everyone is looking for opportunities that's around and really grabbing on to it when it comes along. All seem to get better pay when they job hop, but not for me leh...haiz, haha don't say liao.

Ya my godson had his 1 month celebration on Monday, aiyoh so cute but this time round never take photo. I think must start help him do a life story website haha, but prior to that must seek permission from Mr & Mrs Multi hehe. Managed to catch up with some of the guys when I was there, pretty much the same but can't seem to get use to the decent look that 'city' is having, haha. Too decent for him liao leh...but look smarter that way lah.

Happy voting tomorrow :)

Back from Guangzhou

2006-04-27T22:34:00.000+08:00

Feeling so lazy...or maybe busy...been back from the Guangzhou for the past week or so but didn't have the time to pen down anything here. Guess there're lots to learn in a new job and warrants lots of time so now my working hours are basically from 9am till 8pm. Reach home already 8+pm or 9pm already. Bathe liao, sit for a while then can go to bed and sleep already...haha I guess this is what happens in a new environment. Hmmm actually my boss also not really particular, just that I find that I gotta put in more time and effort in order to catch up fast and be able to manage issues with confidence in time to come. So spend more time in office also ok lah. You reap what you sow...so hopefully in time to come; I'll be able to enjoy the fruits of my labour, haha.

Guangzhou was a pretty all right place. Couldn't get use to the traffic conditions though. It was like totally opposite from Singapore's style, for those who had been to China, you might understand what I'm saying. Anyway, it took me a while to get use to it. So I decided to start looking both ways before crossing the roads there. ;p I spent the nights alone in the room...first time I went overseas and stayed in a room on my own, the feeling was pretty good. Slept & walk nude in the room and no one cares haha. Hmmm who knows maybe they had hidden cameras and soon I'll see them selling pirated XXX DVDs with my body and a censored face...oh gosh. ;p

I was there for 5 days and work was probably just for two and a half days. The other days were spent going around looking for work related stuff but ended up at shopping malls. Shopping malls there were basically the same as Singapore ones...not much difference and you could see lots of familiar brands like Giordano, G2000, etc. So nothing much for me to buy, just bought Mp4 players for my Sis & 'J'. My Sis was damn happy with the player, so excited about it cause her last player already written off as total loss liao. Total expenses there...S$400.

One thing I must mention is that I attended this trade fair at Guangzhou; not to mention name. When you see the people attending the fair, it makes you wonder whether they're businessman or something else. They came from all different countries, but no one seem to know what a purpose of the queue is for. The queue is there for them to cut, that is why there is this thingy called 'cut queue' and it happens there like nobody's business. They can actually just remove the barriers and cut through when people have been queuing for the past 1 hour or so. My boss & I being the patient ones waited and waited and waited...soon we were at the end of the queue again...wow was there fantastic or what. We saw another foreigner who was also in the queue for a long time; he was trying very hard to prevent people from cutting his queue but soon he decided that if he can't beat them, join them...And there he goes too, disappearing into the queue too. Haha I guess there were only two left queuing up...guess who!#$%*&^. I guess it was the cultural differences or was it just us...hmmm. Anyway finally the queue eased and we managed to get in after queuing for 2 hrs or so.

Pretty huge exhibition hall they had there, tiring though walking through the exhibitions. Noticed a certain trend there...Asian looking people didn't get entertained as much as Caucasian looking people. Especially if you speak in Mandarin to them...I think they entertain you more if you speak in English. I guess maybe they thought we were competitors trying to tap on their products...so sad double standard. We managed to finish the exhibition in two days and initially my boss wanted to drop by to HongKong as there was also a fair that was ongoing, but dropped the idea after considering all the hassle.

Today, met up with Ma2e and Jer for dinner....hmmm pretty short meet up only loh...why leh? Cause our dear Jer now very committed lah haha. Makes Ma2e and myself feel so jealous and unwanted keke ;p. Anyway Jer promised she'll stay longer next time, so we shall look forward to it.

Godfather...

2006-04-10T23:13:00.000+08:00

Yeah...today I become a godfather to a baby boy....yeppie..so cute and chubby...wanna see pic...take a look below. You'll love it...so cute, sticking out his lovely little tongue...so adorable. Congrats to my dear bro rabbit & his wife.

So coincidentally, another bro of mine also gave birth at the same hospital on the day. So 'accurate'...this bro one is a girl girl...but born 5 hrs earlier than my godson. Maybe can matchmake them...like the olden days...'zhi fu wei marriage' hehe. Better not anyhow 'ruan ruan lai'...later kanna bash up by the parents haha. So sweet 2 couples have a wonderful member added into their family. Wow imagine how sweet and wonderful life is with a child in it. Ermm for those who have bad experiences with kids, pls do not comment on the above sentence thanks. ;p

So now let us take a look at the baby boy & girl...Just in case you can't differentiate between the boy boy and the girl girl. The boy is not wearing a cap and the girl is wearing one. :)

My godson yawning...

My godson sticking his cute little tongue out.

Jason's girl girl.

'Why you taking my pic?'

Farewell Dinner

2006-04-06T23:34:00.000+08:00

The day finally came.....yes the day of my farewell dinner. They chose a nice ambience restaurant located at Liang Seah Street which I can't really recall the name. Hmmm so should I comment on the food first or on my dear buds who were there for my farewell dinner. Guess buds should come first...to me the food wasn't the issue. The main course was actually getting everyone together for one last occasion (not applicable to all) as a get together. Grateful that even though one of my bud was sick, he turned up too. Although he should have rested at home.

Most of the guys & gals who could make it came and I was really touched when I received my first farewell gift from my buds...but I was told not to open it first and only to open it when I'm home. First thing I'm home; immediately open the gift. So sweet, I must say they really very thoughtful loh...got me a nice card holder leh. Inside it's a card which has their signatures and a quote on it, I guess they must have spent some time choosing the cards from rabbit's deck haha. Meaningful leh...It goes like this

'You cannot acquire experience by making experiments.
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.'
----------------
Albert Camus.
----------------

Then still got the nice nice board with the whole office's best wishes on it...wah lau eh, I tell you it's a fantastic piece of art work loh. My xiaomei and the rest muz have put in a lot of effort in the making of the board...so sweet and so touched. That's not the end...I also got a nice fountain pen from the whole office. No words could express my feelings today.

In fact there was a moment when I was giving my farewell appreciation short speech when I felt my face twitching and losing control...well usually something follows thereafter, but luckily the board was so funny and looking at it brought back smiles again. Appreciation words could never end if I were to carry on, just wanna say thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Wanna know how the farewell gifts looks like. Well pic says a thousand words. Certain faces have been censored to protect the identity of the persons...haha.

Ice Age 2

2006-04-06T12:45:00.000+08:00

Seems like another week has past just like that...and I've not been doing anything meaningful for the week. No swimming this week cause of the rainy season. So just rot at home, watching the School Superstars and blah blah blah.

Went to catch a movies over the weekend and didn't thought I would actually watch this kinda show... Ice Age 2. So you know the state of rot I'm in now haha. But turns out the movie was quite nice...with the same extraordinary Scrat going after the same old nut in Ice Age 2...funny though.

Well as expected the cinema was filled with mostly kids, but I believed some of the jokes were too 'cheem' for the kids to understand so most parts you'll heard the adults laughing. And the guys sitting beside me was really laughing like a kid throughout the whole show....felt like stuffing my popcorn into his mouth...geez so bad. Well didn't do so in the end cause I was laughing away too. Overall nice cartoon lah...kept me entertained though it didn't reduce the stage of my rotting.

Makan Session

2006-03-30T19:19:00.000+08:00

My dear brudders & sis jio me for a makan session yesterday...Shiok ah...eat until steam...All hot stuff from a Thai Restaurant. Before that went shopping and bought a shirt...ex leh..now poor guy must scrimp and save haiz...all the bonus also no more liao, now must spend more wisely and also save wisely.

Let see what we ordered...there was Black pepper crab, Asam prawn, steamed fish, minced chicken and veggie; not forgetting some beer to add to the flavour. Wah all hot stuff, somemore I got ulcer...really eat till I can't feel my own tongue. Then finish eating liao, we started to tok cock sing song (TCSS). Wah all the stupid thing about sis came out...very comical and clumsy one haha. The TCSS lasted till around 11pm before we made our way back and they insisted that they wanted to treat me...so sweet. Next time it'll be my treat k. ;p

Leaving...

2006-03-25T03:22:00.000+08:00

Leaving

On a month like this,

a young man sets to embark

on a next journey.

His heart was heavy,

and he was sad.

For he knew the time has come

to leave this Heaven and

return to the far lonely world

elsewhere.

Unsettling feeling in his heart,

a kind of feeling longing to stay back

forever.

A kind of familiar loneliness

that he was acquainted with,

comes to him again.

And he sighed, contemplatively, forlornly,

hoping again to stay in this indeterminate state

of joy and belonging forever.

'Oh no, I'm really leaving', he murmured,

hot tears threatening to well in his eyes.

Bravely, he forced a smile at his dear friends.

Without much of a second look,

he bid them farewell.

Back in the abode,

the guy sat,with eyes closed,

remembrance of those wonderful

and fond memories he left behind,

and those sweet voices

and carefree laughter

that accompanied every single image

that went fleeting pass.

Unconsciously, a faint smile ghosted at his mouth.

'I'll see them again soon.'

'Take care, my dear friends.'

'We'll meet again.'

Celebrity face recognition

2006-03-18T16:33:00.000+08:00

Hehe to show proof that I'm not lying to Jer & Ma2e....the results after trying the MyHeritage Celebrity face recognition thingy on Jer's blog. And the results....wala....

Hmmm so I look a bit Korean leh haha...

Mind made up...

2006-03-15T21:34:00.000+08:00

I finally mustered my courage or should I say foolishness and took the plunge. I wasn't much of a risk taker, so wondering if it was too much of books that lead me to turn to becoming a risk taker...天堂有路无人到，牢门紧闭有人敲...Don't know whether it's a right or wrong decision but since the decision is made, I gotta stick to it and stay focus...like what people always say...don't live your life full of regrets.

Comfort zone..yes that's what I've been pondering over...'日有所思，夜有所梦' is it wise to leave my comfort zone? Well I managed to convince myself that I should leave this comfort zone and strive for what I wish to achieve while I'm young. I have lots of feeling for this place, bringing myself to leave this location was the hardest part. Been there for the past 5 years, watched it grow from a small unit to a department...it meant a lot to me and it holds beautiful memories. But in life one must always move on, even if I'm still there I would have to move to other departments sooner or later. There's a chinese saying '天下无不散之宴席' and the time has come for me to move on. Well it's not as if I won't be in contact with them anymore...technology so advanced nowadays...got cellphones mah.

Mixed feelings is what I'm having now...she was very kind and really wanted me to make a decision that I feel is right for me and I really appreciate it. I could feel that she's really concerned and worried for me and I feel that it's a blessing to me. Thank you...your advice is most enlightening.

I think right now I should sort out everything in life and start on progress to the next chapter of my life bringing on with me the lovely memories...Wish me luck

The season of love

2006-03-06T21:55:00.000+08:00

Happy to see love birds together.
Sad to hear couples leaving each other.

Don't you find it silly,
that we did this in a moment of folly.

Gentle as I would be,
for the better of you and me.

Knowing one day you would have to leave,
seeking what we both believe.

I can't help but weep
for the love
that you forsake.

Believing in each other
that our faith would pull us together.

But who know what lies beneath
the fate that we can't foresee.

Senses

Dedicated to all those in & out of love...

Lost it...

2006-03-01T20:52:00.000+08:00

I really wonder if it's really the case...as you move to a certain point, do you forget those who brave the storms with you? It seems like the further you move, the more 'Ham Zi' you become or put it in a nicer way 'more accomodating to requests'. Slowly those who fought the war with you are forgotten.

Poly outing at last

2006-02-25T21:07:00.000+08:00

Finally a successful poly outing without any planning...surprised to say most were able to make it even though it was a last minute affair. Well this simple outing started with only Ma2e & myself, then while we were having dinner at SS, we started toking about how long we haven't really got out together as a group. Ma2e checked with Jer on her plans for the day and it so happens that Jer will be able to join us for our programmes after her dinner. (Actually I think she's worried about Ma2e being alone with me lah haha)

So the more we thought we should get the rest to join us. SO I decided to call TW first, it just so happens that he was at Bukit Batok and was just on his way home so he decided to come over and join us in his No.4. Then soon after, I decided to drop CH a call, wow turns out he was watching TV at home haha, no reason to turn us down liao. He wanted to meet us in town but under the majority wins and LL act, he subdued to our requests and met us at BP instead haha. Now the rare guest...Sus, surprisingly the timing of my calls was fantastic yesterday. Just as Sus was about to leave for home in a cab I got her and she took a cab down to BP instead. Only one person wasn't able to make it for the day...who else but Je....

Hmm it wasn't very smooth from the start with our careless little Ma2e losing her wallet...fancy her leaving her wallet at her office without taking it out. Wah lau eh...until when we were paying for Sus's belated birthday cake then she realised her wallet was missing..kaoz haha. CH had to drive us to town to get back her wallet, thereafter driving us back to BP again. He was complaining the whole night of being used. He said he felt like a taxi driver haha. So back we went to BP, by then no one seem to be in the mood of bowling anymore. So I suggested we proceed to Railway Mall for a drink.

Well we arrived at railway mall and chose to settle down at Cocktail bar cause Bojangles seems packed. Then the guys started complaining about the price of the liquor again..haiz..very hard to satisfy them. Next time I think bring them to Kopitiam and drink cheaper...Finally everyone got a drink they wanted...guess what Sus got..a cup of tea. Hmm nice place to have a cup of tea, well reason given by her..she was tired. Scared later drink liao fall asleep.

Then started the cock toking session started. Sus was puzzled the whole night as to whether me and ma2e were together haha...the whole group ganged up and lied to her. A birthday song was sung for Sus too. Throughout the session, half the time TW was having hiccups. Tried all the tradition methods of stopping hiccups but it didn't work on him. You name it we tried it, scaring him, drinking water, swallowing saliva, holding his breath. But to no avail. Hope the after activities with his gf would help...hehe.

Till the next meeting then... maybe half a year later I guess...think Sus is still unsure...

Words Women Use

2006-02-22T19:59:00.000+08:00

No offence to our dear ladies. Just for laughs

Words Women Use

Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument
when they are right and you need to shut up.

Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something" and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine".

Go Ahead
This is a dare, not permission, DON'T DO IT!

Loud Sigh
Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".

That's Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements that woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

Thanks
This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you. Do not question it, just say you're welcome and back out of the room slowly.

BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL WOMAN IS HERSELF

A WOMAN IS LIKE A TEA BAG... YOU DON'T KNOW HOW STRONG SHE IS UNTIL YOU PUT HER IN HOT WATER

I HAVE YET TO HEAR A MAN ASK FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO COMBINE MARRIAGE AND A CAREER

COFFEE, CHOCOLATE, MEN. SOME THINGS ARE JUST BETTER RICH

WARNING: I HAVE AN ATTITUDE AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT

OF COURSE I DON'T LOOK BUSY...
I DID IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

And last but not least:

IF YOU WANT BREAKFAST IN BED,SLEEP IN THE KITCHEN

Soul Seeker

2006-02-20T00:07:00.000+08:00

Listener...
I haven't been one for ages.
I'm surprised to receive such a call in the night.
I've not heard a heart broken guy's voice for quite sometime.
He sounded lonely, afraid & lost.
It's always for a reason.
And the reason is 'you'.

The only thing I could do was to listen
while he poured out his sorrows.
And at a certain point in time,
he was on the verge of crying,
as i could hear him choking on his own voice.

Any guy would be able to understand what he's going through.
And the same advice people usually gave is
'Why give up a tree for a forest'
'It's her loss'
But after hearing his story,
I knew I wasn't in the position to give any advice.

Was the girl out for money?
Was there a third party?
Was it really past experience that hurt her
so much that she had to give up on this relationship?
Do you think you'll get an answer?
Could she also be in a torment now?
Qns Qns...so many of them...
And yet no answers...
No, not me. I can't give you an answer.
I can only lend you my listening ear.

He asked 'Should I give up on her?'
Well my friend, you already have an answer in you.
You just want someone to support your belief.
And whatever you think it's right,
Go ahead and do it.
I'll be rooting for you...
May the strength be with you.

Happy Valentine's Day

2006-02-15T21:22:00.000+08:00

One day after Valentine's Day, life resumes again and today no more long queues at restaurants... Darn, it took me more than an hour of wait before I had my dinner yesterday. That's the reason why I like to book and pre-arranged everything to avoid long waits like yesterday. But too bad schedule couldn't be confirmed so no bookings yesterday. Anyway, at least we had our food, took more than one hour for the food and finished it in an hours time. And the blardy queue was still as long after we finished our food 15 minutes to 9pm.

So what have i got for J this year...hmmm flowers were standard but this time round purple turnips...nice & ex. She received 2 gifts..one was chosen by herself and the other by me. I got a Jeans in return hmmm Levis...So I think there's a rather big hole in my pocket.

Back at work...I realised we were discussing about what happened and what we did for Valentine's Day haha...we guys are growing more and more 'bitchy'. And omg there was one who bought flowers that was priced at $165, just one bouquet ok...that's 12 stalks! Nice sharing experiences, and there were some reminisicing at Mcdonalds as that was the place where they first met...oh so sweet haha. Anyway, everyday should be a Valentine's Day to all couples and not only on Valentine's Day itself.

Finale...

2006-02-09T00:59:00.000+08:00

Yes...the grand finale of our annual Dinner & Dance ended just an hour back. After 2 runs of the shows and being busy for 2 nights and a few months for the preparations, the things have come to an end. An enjoyable and fun time I had with the committee members...came to learn that you really can't judge some by their looks. They might look icy on the outside but otherwise on the inside. Got a prize which was hmmm kinda good although it wasn't in the top 30 prizes.

The host, emcee or whatever you call it, was fantastic. I was very much impressed by the way he brought the crowd to life. Whenever he stands up there, you'll be able to hear laughters coming from every direction. He's a natural, think his name is Justin Mission. Should be an old timer in this line, heard he is quite well known and sought for by many companies for their D & D. Well he's one damn good entertainer. Too bad he didn't perform that much on the second night, nevertheless he managed to entertain all during that short period of time when he made his appearance.

Close to 6 years and this is one of the best D & D I've ever attended, maybe because I was part of the committee haha. Cheerz to Justin for making my day.

The Greatest Pain In life

2006-01-23T20:47:00.000+08:00

The greatest pain in life is not to die,

but to be ignored.

To lose the person you love so much

to another who doesn't care at all.

To have someone you care so about so much throw a party...

and not tell you about it.

When your favorite person on earth neglects

to invite you to his graduation.

To have people think that you don't care.

The greatest pain in life,

is not to die,

but to be forgotten.

To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.

To never get a call from a friend, just saying "hi".

When you show someone your innermost thoughts

and they laugh in your face.

For friends to always be too busy to console you

when you need someone to lift your spirits.

When it seems like the only person who cares about you,

is you.

Life is full of pain,

but does it ever get better?

Will people ever care about each other,

and make time for those who are in need?

Each of us has a part to play

in this great show we call life.

Each of us has a duty to mankind

to tell our friends we love them.

If you do not care about your friends

you will not be punished.

You will simply be ignored...

forgotten...

as you have done to others.

This poem was written by a young girl who committed suicide some years ago. Please show someone you care for them today. It takes so little of your time to smile, give a hug, a word of encouragement or just to say "I care" You will be rewarded for sure :-)

Freaking ANGRY...arghhhhh...I've spent so long typing my page long post and when I went to my draft to retrieve it back, it showed me an empty post....arghhhhh..... Fed up... Forget it...It's already written and since it's not there. Then it's not meant to be shown.

So just some pictures taken some time back. Uploaded cause I got myself a bluetooth adaptor. :)

Things That We Often Overlook

2006-01-10T17:13:00.000+08:00

Things That We Often Overlook

Don't marry someone that you can just live with.
Instead, marry someone that you can't live without.

Charm is a woman's strength,
while strength is a man's charm.

Our job is not to see through one another,
But to see one another through.

One of the most difficult thing to give away is kindness - It is usually returned.

When we are hurt, there is no sweeter revenge than to forgive.

Those at war with others are seldom at peace with themselves.
For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.

The best mirror is an old friend.
As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities.

Positive anything is better than negative nothing.

Chances makes our parents.
Choices makes our friends.

SAd...&...HaPPy

2006-01-05T23:50:00.000+08:00

sAd...life just isn't a bed of roses, much that we all want it to be. Sometimes I just feel so helpless over certain things. It just doesn't seem to be within my reach. No matter how hard you try, it just doesn't seem right somehow. Is it a test of patience, endurance or maybe a plain joke.

HaPPy...when things are looking bad, there's always something to keep you occupied, making you feel happy again. Ya...time flies past when you're occupied and recalling back, It seems that my nuts are a bit loose cause being occupied makes me haPPy. Just like responsibility in life. Maybe by being responsible for things, it makes me feel that I'm still capable & worth something ha. But who cares anyway...

I don't really know what I'm blabbering about anyway. Don't understand...don't read.

Success comes to those who become success conscious.
Failure comes to those who indifferently allow
themselves to become failure conscious.

Birthday Celebration.

2005-12-30T23:30:00.000+08:00

Received a call from our sweet and lovely Ma2e who asked us whether we would love to go singing, great idea since I'll be wandering about in town with J too. So along with the cute and adorable Jer, we decided to meet up for KTV at Shenton. Nice place, big hmmm but it's next to a nite 'entertainment' outlet and what's more, we're sharing the toilet. Yeah no big deal actually, just felt surprised when I saw lots of gals or should I say aunties wearing cheongsam. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but after checking with Jer, 100% confirm...ermmm but don't be mistaken, she's only a regular customer of Partyworld ;p.

It was really nice of Ma2e & Jer (2 sweet angels) to go singing with me on the eve of my birthday. Majam like celebrating my birthday in advance for me, but no presents received leh...haiz hehe.

When the clock struck midnight, wow the first birthday greeting for me came in. Hmmm I'm not forgotten leh haha. Thereafter received a few wishes from some very sweet friends of mine. Thank you all.

On the day of my birthday, I caught King Kong...ermm I mean I watched the movie King Kong. Wow turned out to be much better than I expected. It was really worth the money, not that it was a 3 hrs long movie but the plot that doesn't make you sleepy in the middle of a 3 hrs long movie. Nice captivating show which is touching and along with it, a sense of humour. Thumbs up for this movie, by the way it's my personal opinion, heed it or ignore it. :)

After the movie, myself & J went for a buffet at Pariss. Wah one week eat 2 times buffet, trying to see if I can gain some pounds. After going for 2 rounds of food, I'm starting to get a bit sick of the food, probably due to the fact that I've went for too many buffets in a week. My stomach seems to be telling me, 'if you carry on stuffing food in, I'll make sure I push it all out when you finish your meal'. My gosh, such a threat and do you think I still dare to carry on. Try to take things slowly and bit by bit. We went for a third round, this time getting a lesser portion compared to the 1st two times. Slowly after close to 3 hrs of stuffing, we decided that we had our fill and it's time to leave.

Programme awaiting us at CCK, yes my band of brothers. So nice and thoughtful of them to organise a birthday celebration for myself & Steven. Really appreciate the effort put in by them on this last minute outing. I was surprised the turnout was rather good. As usual, our dear Dennis bought a birthday cake which was always the birthday boys' nightmare. Cause the cake usually wouldn't end up in your mouth, it would usually be smeared all over your face. Crap and I was wearing a long sleeve shirt...omg it's a goner.

Just as expected, right after singing of birthday songs and birthday wishes (such as world peace and blah blah blah...). It all started and who else but the menace haha. I suffered a loss of one of my contact lenses and became a person with double vision haha. Steven suffered a cut on his tiny little toe, and William lost his slippers while trying to escape the ordeal. Sounds so childish haha. But sometimes it's really all these things that makes you feel like you're having a birthday. Bros, I'll have to really say a big thank you for organising this. From my friendster photo, I still remember a few years back, we did this once before too. I also saw many changes in the photo. Even I have finally changed, everyone has grown and looks have changed. But that night, what I saw were the same group of buddies I knew decades ago. If one day, you guys were to bump into this blog, it would be a place to reminisce of the good old days.

Thank you all who have made my life a meaningful one. ;)

Post Christmas Day

2005-12-27T01:10:00.000+08:00

Yep...Christmas has past as by, I only managed to get one of my wish fulfilled. It was J a female Santa who bought it for me...my new wallet. Hmmm although the rest not fulfilled but well one can't be too greedy right. Guess just make do with what I have. ;p So how did you guys spent your Christmas? I spent my Christmas eve at home with my family watching Kungfu Mahjong 2, hmmm not a bad feeling especially during the part whereby gifts were actually supposed to be opened. I had them placed under our miniature Christmas tree and the presents are still there cause after opening them, my dad said the presents would actually beautify the tree so placed it back under the tree again duhz...

Christmas day...supposingly was set on going for KTV with J, her sis and her sis's bf...last minute kanna put one big boeing 747. Informed by them that we'll only meet later for dinner at Kuishin Bo...aiyah then should have told us earlier mah..make me wake up so early haiz. Anyway, finally met up for dinner at Suntec, wah the food there really made me drool leh...had so many of the snow crab...so delicious. But comparatively to Pariss, the variety of food seems to be a bit lesser. Well it's a Japanese restaurant after all, so we really had our fill of salmon sashimi and crab...eat until I dreamt of salmon and crabs coming after me.

After dinner, received calls from my band of brothers who wanted to go to MoS. So I decided why not and brought them all with me. When we arrived there, the sight of the long queue completely turned me off leh...wah lau eh queue until so long. Then all having second thought, decided to switch to KTV again haha since I had my $20 birthday voucher which I can use. So went to Red Tea House which was the nearest available.

Then calls from my brothers started coming in...haha expected..kanna screw liao cause put them 747. But I promised them I will proceed after KTV which would be ending at 2am. As promised I went over but in the end I didn't enter. Ben was only able to bring 2 of us in and he insisted to bring me and J in. Well but I still had 3 others with me who were even more interested than myself to enter the place, and it wouldn't be nice if I asked them to go fly kite right. So I had to politely refused Benny again, then he said he opened one bottle already and waiting for me to have an early birthday celebration. Wah scary ah...but steady lah bro, keep wanting to pay for myself and J. But what the heck for, MoS closes at 4 and I don't think it's worth paying 25 bucks just to go in for one hour. They should have told me earlier they had the free entry msg, then we wouldn't have gone for KTV. Well next time then brothers, as promised I'll try to arrange one on S and my birthday.

Today, spent the evening at Thow Kwang (Dragon Kilns), where my cousin had a birthday celebration held at home. Wow the first time this mountain tortoise saw real fireflies, everyone didn't believe what i said haha. Well was a very nice sight, it looked just like a big Chistmas tree filled with christmas lightings...too bad I couldn't take any pictures of it. Should go there more often to take a look and maybe keep some in a bottle in case of blackouts.

To Santa

2005-12-24T00:50:00.000+08:00

Dear Santa,

I understand that this might have come a bit late, but it's your job what...you're Santa Claus. So regardless of how late my Christmas wishlist might come, you gotta fulfill it ok. Otherwise, you can't achieve your goals and objectives set for the year. I might sound like I'm being difficult but I'm not. Just get me 50% on my wishlist and you would have fulfill your duty this year. Now open your eyes and see carefully.

Christmas Wishlist

1. Wallet (For the items 2 & 3)
2. Huge Salary Increase
3. Toto Group 1 winner
4. Good Health for all
5. World Peace (No more disaster pls...too much of it. Enough is enough!)
6. Cabriolet
7. Bike License
8. Safe (To keep the winnings just in case I can't fit it into item 1)

There're only 8 items on my wishlist so just fulfill any 4 and that makes 50% of the wishlist. But terms and condition applys for item 1 & 8 as it should be accompanied by items 2 & 3. It's a package. Thank you very much Santa for being accomodating. I'll be waiting for my gifts.

In return, I'll be presenting you with a Hokkien Christmas (Click on it lah, you expect it'll pop up automatically ah). Keke ;p

Second phrase of Christmas shopping

2005-12-21T20:47:00.000+08:00

Finally, I managed to find some time to do some Christmas shoppings for the young girls. Got some cute miniature organ for them to discover the musical talent in them..haha. Then saw some nice cups with Piglet and Winnie the Pooh on it..so decided to get some too. Walked around again and saw some nice cute displays, got them too...In the end when I reached home, I realised I bought too much...argggghhhh when did I have so many nephews and nieces. I always have a tendency to overbuy everything...makan also like that, now gifts also like that haiz. It's ok, just let them have more gifts this year lah.

Earlier in office, we had this Christmas gift exchange. I picked KW as my gift exchange partner, so I got him a bottle of red wine cause he loves them. I got a box of chocolates and a very cute bottle opener which makes a weird sound whenever you open the bottle with it. Buggy gave all of us Ferrero Rocher, so I ended with with lots of chocolate. Think will gain some weight over the festive seasons stuffing myself with the chocolates.

'K' asked me out today but I really couldn't make it cause a courier was way prearranged to come over to my place for me to sign some documents and I didn't have their contact numbers. So in the end, couldn't cancel the courier so I had to reject her yet again...haiz. But I promised her a makeup dinner. Hope she won't be upset...

Quote of the day.
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
M. Scott Peck

Christmas Shopping...

2005-12-18T02:17:00.000+08:00

Second round of Christmas shopping today at Orchard...most of the gifts today are bought for the kids. I went shopping alone leh...quite shiok also shopping alone. 'J' was working late today and late meaning way past midnight...so I decided to go shopping alone. Didn't felt like asking anyone along so I ended up alone prowling the streets of Orchard for the perfect gift. Finally after a long arduous search, I found some gifts for the boys but can't decide on what to get for the girls, so in the end still ended up with nothing for the girls. Maybe I'll try another round tomorrow to see whether I can find anything nice for the little girls.

Anyway I got to say I'm very impressed with the wrapping skills of the staff at Taka. They didn't have to cut the wrapping paper at all, the whole piece of wrapper was fully utilised in wrapping the items. I also don't know how they wrap but majam like professional, got attend course one. Maybe I should unwrap the whole thing and see how they did it....on second thoughts I better not lah...lazy to wrap back, scare later don't know how to wrap back the same way then die...

Carried on looking around in Taka till they closed at 10.30pm, and can you imagine the crowd that was still on the street at that time...look at the photos and you'll know. Walking down the street alone was kinda funny when you see everyone else having someone with them haha...to prevent boredom from setting in, I took out my camera phone and started snapping pics of the Christmas lights that were around. Then I started noticing this person, cause every street I walked, I realised his face appears...guess who... 'Andy Lau'. Wah his Cyma posters & billboards everywhere on the streets...so almost took a pic of it loh. Very bo liao hor...then just when I was wondering why I had not bumped into anyone I knew; I saw Steven with his gf...Shortly after passing a few streets, I saw Ruiqin. Sometimes, it scary when something you're thinking of just suddenly appears. Never underestimate the power of your brain...haha.

December Outing

2005-12-17T01:22:00.000+08:00

Feeling kinda disappointed cause the outing did not materialise again...this time round don't know what the reason was again...seems kinda hard to catch up once a month hor. November then and now December, both the culprit are male...jia lat...how to speak up for them. Actually also kinda expecting the outing to be cancelled cause until this morning also still no sound no picture even though the date was set one month back....Hmmm guess I'll just sit and watch..I've done what I could and it's up to the rest of the guys...

Who knows, maybe meeting up sounds more like a hassle than fun to them. Haha nobody is like you leh Senses....so free nothing better to do...come up with stupid ideas of organising outing. Hmmm maybe different mentality bah...I guess everyone's really busy.

I just came up with a quote which 'Xiao mei' found interesting and wrote it on the board haha. Here goes... 'I lOve liFe beCause Life sUxs.'

The top view from 'New Asia Bar' taken using my lousy 1mp hp.

Too fast or too slow?

2005-12-13T21:37:00.000+08:00

I saw a rainbow today while I was driving...wow and it wasn't after a downpour. Set me thinking when was the last time I saw a real rainbow. Am I always travelling too fast too notice the things happening around me? Or am I too slow and missing all the things around me? Too much dosage of anything is definitely not going to turn out to be something good.

A friend 'City' told me something, that he just wanted a simple life. But due to circumstances in the surrounding environment, it made it hard for him to do so. I mean I do agree somehow in certain perspective of what he said. It's how you view or term 'simple'. To some people, your 'simple' might not be something that simple to them or vice versa. Sometimes we're at a certain place & time for a reason, which we'll realise in due time. We all exist for a reason...

Yesterday & Today

2005-12-11T02:04:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, a sign of relief when I saw an sms from Ma2e that she was finally discharged...phew...But heard that she still not feeling good, with the ongoing fever and vomitting...Well let's just give her our best wishes and hope she gets well soon.

Today, unable to make it to 'Pei' ROM party due to something cropping up...but my best wishes were still sent over. :) Actually longed to see the rest of the polymates too cause haven't seen them for quite sometime but too bad maybe some other time.

Later in the evening managed to meet up with 'J', her sis and her sis's bf, went shopping for some Christmas gift which in the end, I didn't managed to get any hmmm...Had dinner at Marche, nothing special except that we had a combination of some weird food like salad, stingray, calamari and half pork knuckle followed by ice-cream crepe. Doesn't sound like lots of food right, and to think that the 4 of us can't even finish it. Serious man, we were so full that we can't finish the pork knuckle. Well, we still tried our best to stuff it all in eventually.

It was followed by a drink at 'New Asia Bar', my first visit there if the previous 'Compass Ross' is not factored in. Otherwise, it'll be my second. Well, a totally different environment since my last visit, though still a great place for scenery. There was a cover charge of $20 per person and you get a free drink in return...sounds reasonable. We were greeted by a scene of 'ang mohs' when we entered, I guess mostly guests of the hotel and had a hard time finding a table close to the edge (want to get good view mah). Finally after 5 mins of prowling, managed to get a table without chairs, prowled for another 10 mins, decided to use 'mei ren ji' haha sent the gals out to get from the 'ang moh' nearby cause they didn't seem to need the chairs. Success, we managed to get 2 chairs from them ermm cause that was the only 2 they had there. Within another 5 mins, got ourselves another 2 chairs and comfortably settled down. Stayed there for a while and had some dinks before we left for home. Saw the show of 2 merlions before reaching home...haha this time round not me leh...so happy.

Week full of surprises.

2005-12-08T22:03:00.000+08:00

I finally decided to change to a new blogskin in order to avoid having to get Jer a new computer haha...Fiddled with the new skin for a while and finally managed to get it centralised and going, many thanks to absolutjoiz who was really of great assistance to my blog. :) And to Jer, now you can leave comments liao or you have an alternative choice of the cbox too.

This week started with news from Ma2e that she was hospitalized...what's more, the problem is unknown. Today still heard that she had a fever and vomitted so the doc might keep her under observation for a slightly longer period. Otherwise she's actually supposed to be discharged today. So poor thing... Jer also fell sick a few days ago...think it's due to the weather...better take good care of your health.

Today Multi & myself talked about something which we feel is out of place. After hearing what he said, I do feel that something isn't right somewhere too. So think better find a chance and have a good talk with 'him' liao. But maybe we are just being too over sensitive, maybe it's not what we think. Nothing is known till we talked and we must cause we're all bros.

Another news that came today is that our group won some consolation in a recent competition which we entered. Quite happy for a fact that we didn't really had much time preparing for it (however effort was still put in ;p) and yet we won something. But we were all wondering to ourselves as to how many groups entered the competition haha. Maybe there were only 5 groups and it just so happens that there were 5 prizes to be given out haha. But it's a nice feeling to actually win something. You know in life, most people need encouragement for them to move ahead and be confident of who they are.

The news that came as a surprise today was an sms from 'Pei'..She's getting married and it's this Saturday...my goodness, it's really so sudden but I feel happy for her settling down and finding her Mr Right. So meaning got to buy gifts for her liao...hmmm nevermind I think bonus coming soon, should be able to spare a bit hehe ;p. Can also catch up with the rest of the guys whom I have not seen for the past few years. Yeah....

So I guess I'm gonna come up with my Christmas wish list soon...ermmm not forgetting my birthday wish list hehe...so Jer, Ma2e & Multi...you guys knows what to do hor when the list comes out wahahaha....

Wala Wala

2005-12-02T01:27:00.000+08:00

Well my second trip to Wala Wala with Jer and first together with Ma2e, this time round I tried the pizza and calamari...hmmm tasted good...Thought I was full after having all those food but didn't know why my mouth started watering when I saw those chicken wings and wedges on others' table. Well maybe my second stage of puberty coming haha.

Tonight, the second time catching the UnXpected at Wala. Music was good, their gigs were great especially the remix of 'I will survive'. You should hear it for yourself...hmmm how good if I could put it on my blog, then my blog would be famous overnight like 'Xiaxue' & 'Miss Izzy' haha. I must be crazy liao think too much...anyway did you realise that until now only female bloggers got famous due to blogging. Don't think anyone hear anything about male bloggers becoming famous except for the defamation and racist few. Ok back to topic, well since everyone was working the next day except for me, we left after the second set. Tried to psycho them to take leave however attempt was futile haha. Nevermind, so now I'm home trying to fix this blogskin...man it's driving me crazy...

Blogskin...

2005-12-01T12:15:00.000+08:00

Darn...I spent the whole freaking night doing the blardy blogskin...now glitches are still there..I can't put in comments on my postings and upon clicking the post itself, an error occurs...omg. Anybody out there can rescue me from this misery haha. I'm gonna make it right!!!

Rainbows

2005-11-26T00:01:00.000+08:00

There are as many nights as days
Comparatively both are just as long
Darkness comes after daylight
Even a happy life would have a measure of darkness
No one would experience happiness without a tingle of sadness
But remember after every thunderstorm
There'll always be a colorful rainbow

Sentosa...

2005-11-12T23:33:00.000+08:00

Yeah...my trip there with 'J' finally materialised haha. Initially I thought it was gonna be postponed again due to rain, but luckily the clouds just went away. Didn't get much of a tan after the trip, wondering whether it's due to the sunblock that I used. My face did get a little burnt due to the reason that no sunblock was applied on the face...so I guess it's the doing fo the sunblock...hmmm. After the not so successful tanning, we went cycling...makes me wonder when was the last time I cycled. Must have been a long way back cause I can't even recall, or am I growing old??? Next time round must canoe and do some other water sports...Did I forget about the gals that were there...actually ok lah...not bad lah but the best still beside me hehe.

Anyway, teenagers are really getting more and more open minded or should I say I'm getting a bit too conservative. I actually saw a few couples engaging in long kisses on the beach itself or in the water and there were other guys by the side ogling at what they were doing...Anyway what's there to stare about right...but just felt a bit out of place for things like that to be happening there.

I realised there're many ongoing changes at Sentosa...one of it is the new monorail station...I saw the new monorails, it has very bright color and somehow resembles the bullet train. It took me a while to figure out where I wanted to go and which bus to take. A bit blur sotong lah...Then the stupid part came at the end, thought I could take a slow walk out to the harbourfront from Sentosa...Who knows...the stupid construction has taken up the walkway and the only path to take was the road. Wah it was a dangerous and long walk out with buses and lorry zooming past...Nevertheless, still had a wonderful day.

Long Rest...Wala Wala

2005-11-04T01:05:00.000+08:00

Had a long rest and did nothing much during my leave. Can you believe it...I was rotting away at home during the few days when I'm on leave. Someone did ask me for a dry swimming session on sunday however it didn't realised because I received the msg while I was in a deep state of sleep haha and I only managed to reply after 2 hrs when I woke up. By then it was already too late for games, and I guess it did pissed someone off...well just hope they believed my story.

I was at J's place during the Hari Raya holiday dry swimming with her family members, wat else. I was on my way home after the games and halfway through I received a call from Jer, could sense that she wasn't really feeling good, though it was kinda last minute we decided to catch up and guess what...her itch for Wala never dies...haha. She suggested to meet there and I arrived there shortly after...she arrived there...'a bit slow' :) It was my virgin visit to Wala, quite a nice cosy environment there compared to Bala. Second time I heard 'The UnXpected band' live, this time round, it was more up close and personal i guess. Great music from them as usual.

Anyway, didn't get to help her much on what was troubling her. Just hope my presence did made her feel better. Hmmm somehow or rather, I still feel that it's because she misses Wala after her trip back hehe. ;p

Yeah another weekend coming up soon....enjoy everyone...most probably will be catching Harry Potter this weekend or the Andy Lau's movie. Heard from people like very touching leh...must watch.

Haircut...

2005-10-29T00:40:00.000+08:00

Hey guess what I had my haircut yesterday...wah now spotting a new hairstyle. Think need time to get use to it. Don't even know how to style it, maybe just leave it as it is ba haiz...Also bought the most expensive wax for the first time in my life...kaoz one bottle of wax for $30 kaoz...well wat to do...such a spendthrift aiyoh how to save money like that...Cannot carry on in this manner liao....must save ah!!!

An unexpected twist

2005-10-28T02:05:00.000+08:00

There was supposed to be a once a month outing this evening and I've cancelled all my appointments just to be there. Sadly to my disappointment, most of them suddenly had their commitments and couldn't make it.

In a twist of fate, I met up with a lovely friend whom I had not seen for ages. We were supposed to meet up and have coffee at a place she picked and guess what when we arrived there...haha it closed down long ago and we ended up having Ya Kun Loti instead haha. Lots of catching up to do as it has really been a long time and there was so much for me to be updated on. Surprising, she seems to be updated on so many issues of mine and surprising it was all heard from my friends whom I had not met up with for quite sometime. She even knew where I took my degree from, apparently she had a friend there who knew me haha. The thing is that I don't even know that person and she knows who I am...gosh was I so high profile in the past haha. Maybe too high profile during sec sch days liao that's why now so 'kuai' already hehe.

Anyway Ya Kun seems to be closing liao so she suggests to go for a drink at Bojangles, so there we went. Guess it was the second time there, went there once before and the experience wasn't very good due to the fact that I was feeling down the first time I went there haha.

Lots of catching up was done on the memorable sec sch days, and a lot on her entering the next phase of her life...getting married soon liao. Seems to be a trend for people my age haha. Discussing about how her bf propose to her and the difference between our methods of proposal haha. She seems a bit disappointed though that her bf did not present flowers to her but alas what is flowers compared to a proposal at a vineyard in a foreign country. So so romantic and expensive leh, don't complain lah haha.

Also touched on her ongoing training as a teacher, wow imagining nurturing the future pillars of our country. Sounds good heh...I think if I be teacher jia lat ah; if I don't die of heart attack, the students will haha. Lots of memories flashed back as we chatted on. Some stupid, some funny yet interesting haha. After a few hours of chatting decided that it was time to retreat back home. Got a sweet little 'gift' before we went on separate ways, haha. Till we meet again. So the day was cool after all. ;p

Ohhh...on leave liao.

2005-10-27T00:05:00.000+08:00

Yeah...I'm finally starting to clear my leave liao. Anybody wanna go out to the sun and do some activities, remember to jio me k...Swimming, tanning, blading, etc...must start to be more active in sports haha. Actually someone promised me initially but well something cropped up the last minute so I'll have to find some other programs liao haiz...

My leave started today...but unfortunately, I didn't seem to be on leave today...haha woke up early in the morning at 7 plus due to a call, then a few calls were also made out. After the calls were made, majam already awake liao...haiz what to do...read newspaper loh. Afternoon, just stare at the computer looking at the current market situation and hoping that my babies will grow soon haiz...The rest seems to be growing but my babies like not accelerating at all leh haiz. Then I felt my stomach groaning at about 4 plus. Wah haven't eat lunch leh, quickly go and make maggie mee. Just as I was about to devour my brunch, my phone rang...ahhhhhhhhh got to go back to office. Stupid me, never leave key in office for people to open my cupboard...haha nevermind anyway I wanted to go back and check my mail also lah.

Then met my gal for dinner...hmmm had Sakae Sushi but I think the one I ate at is called Dining at Sakae. Well doesn't make much difference to me, just that there's no discount!!! Alamak everytime I eat also got discount for using certain credit card mah (Typical Singaporean hehe)...but they say don't have wor. Nevermind loh...somemore nowadays the green tea also charge 1 buck liao, last time free one leh. Kaoz just one month never eat only change so much...damnz...but still have to eat a more hearty meal as didn't have a good lunch...in the end the bill chalk up to 40 bucks... ok lah not bad lah...chinese always say 'Ne Chi Shi Fu' Can eat means prosperity...hehe. Then went window shopping...this month a bit broke liao leh...so guys if we're meeting out tomorrow night, you know what to do liao hor...hehehe ;p Look forward to the activities tomorrow, but first must go and replenish my energy...SLEEP...

90/10 Principle By Steven Covey

2005-10-24T19:10:00.000+08:00

90/10 Principle By Steven Covey (Author of bestseller The 7 Habits ofHighly Effective People)

Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations). What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.

We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determinethe other 90%. How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light.However, you can control your reaction. Do not let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let us use an example: You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined byhow you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table.

A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school.

Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit zone. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye.

After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter. Why?Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?

A. Did the coffee cause it?
B. Did your daughter cause it?
C. Did the policeman cause it?
D. Did you cause it?

The answer is "D". You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "Its ok honey, you just need tobe more careful next time". Grabbing a towel, you rush upstairs.

After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in timeto look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED.

You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90%was determined by your reaction."

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, do not be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do not have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? (A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try to bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive.

Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it. You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job. The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why are you stressed out? It will just make things worse.

Now you know the 90/10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90/10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10principle. It CAN change your life!

The Monk

2005-10-24T18:50:00.000+08:00

A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?"

The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk."

The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery. The monks again accept him, feed him, even fix his car. That night, he hears the same strange noise that he had heard years earlier.

The next morning, he asks what it is, but the monks reply, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk."

The man says, "All right, all right. I'm dying to know. If the only way I can find out what that soundwas is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?"

The monks reply, "You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk."

The man sets about his task. Some forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of themonastery. He says, "I have traveled the earth and have found what you have asked for. There are145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth."

The monks reply, "Congratulations. You are now a monk. We shall now show you the way to the sound."The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, "The sound is right behind that door."

The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He says, "Real funny. May I have the key?"

The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man demands the key to the stone door. The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire. So it went until the man hadgone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz, and amethyst.

Finally, the monks say, "This is the last key to the last door."

The man is relieved to no end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find the source of that strange sound.

But I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk!!!!!

Shopping...

2005-10-17T19:10:00.000+08:00

I suddenly have the urge to just spend my money and in the end I got my pocket burnt over the weekend. Damn, went out shopping with my gf and just had the sudden impulse to buy things so went into G2000 and bought 2 shirts which costed me $100. Then the urge came again and I bought a DVD player for $65...also bought a shirt for my gf at G2000...wah lau eh over the weekend spent more than $200. But the feeling was great haha...Occasionally, must pamper yourself and your love ones a bit lah. Last week my dad's birthday, bought a Braun Buffel wallet and key holder for him and had a simple dinner at the soup restaurant...Hmmm I think this month's expenses will eat into my savings again...*sob sob* must start to save money liao cannot anyhow spend excessively.

Hmmm I actually dropped a mail to all my poly mates telling them about the gathering that Teckwei was supposed to organise...but hor no one replied leh...the kuku organiser also never reply. Then today I msg him, immediately he call back trying to give the reason that Jer was actually busy at the end of the month...haha Jer become the sinner liao. Then after some considerations, decided to ask me to pass the msg to the rest to ask them when they are free for the month. So guys if you see this, pls msg him and tell him when you're free ok. Take the chance and screw him also keke ;p. If Teckwei see this, don't know will kill me or not haha.

Opportunity Costs...

2005-10-11T20:50:00.000+08:00

How many times have you stood at the threshold of a new door, contemplating what you would find on the other side? How many times has fear stopped you from proceeding? If you never cross through, you will be left wondering "what if" for the rest of your life. Take the chance, what have you got to lose?

Portal
by Tara Simms

Standing on the outside,

looking in.

Afraid to knock

on the door in front of you.

How many times have

you stood at the threshold

but been too scared to cross?

What is it you fear?

The unknown lies ahead.

What awaits you on the other side?

Only one way to find out.

The door swings open,

Will you enter?

Well, if opportunity knocks on your door, what would you do? See...that's why we study things like opportunity costs haha...but I don't think opportunity costs would be able to affect any decisions you make in life...Life is what you make it to be. Live life to the fullest.

In Spirit by Benjamin Heller

2005-10-10T21:07:00.000+08:00

Though you don't live next door,
though you're far far away,
You're still here in my thoughts
every week, every day.

When events of the day
cause this soul to despair,
just the sound of your voice
makes them easy to bear.

When I don't have the luxury
of feeling your soft touch
or taking in your scent,
which I appreciate so much,

I need only look back
at the times we have had
to wonder if I've
any right to be sad.

You're truly a blessing.
I want you to know
that I care for you deeply,
wherever I go.

- Benjamin Heller -

It's been a week...How's Life?

2005-10-03T19:35:00.000+08:00

Been a week since I scribbled on my blog...well not that I was so busy that I didn't even have time to write, the mood just didn't come. Haha maybe laziness has overpowered me... Anyway it's a new month...October yeah...looking forward to the next outing planned by my poly mates...hmmm wondering where we'll be going this month. Oh ya it's Teckwei whose organising this month's outing...think most probably he'll either come drunk or organise a drinking session and leave for home drunk keke. Well well we shall wait and see...

Anyway, so what's been going on this week. Basically nothing much happened, was the same old stuff of going home after work...and then followed by a brand new day. I did actually just dropped by one of the clubs along Boat Quay for a short drink on Friday, I think it was Eskine club or something like that where it was freezing cold. So just had a Heineken and left the place haha...Then went for a late dinner, just in case I forget; the Char Siew rice was fantastic...wah lau eh, no fats and a bit of burned meat...omg crispy and nice. But not very good for health lah, so don't take it too often. Subsequently left the place and took a stroll somewhere else...reach home liao still cannot sleep...sit in front of the stupid computer till 4plus am...kaoz.

Weekend was over in a blink of an eye...Monday again...wah today go bowling...cannot make it ah...Practise practise still ok...come to real game...hand already giving way liao trembling like xiao...sianzzz...Anyway playing for fun lah so don't need to be too serious loh...but wah lau eh...really very inconsistent during the game leh kns...Disappointing...maybe must 'worm come out of world' (Translate to Chinese lah) start to jio my kakey out to play liao. But think think liao also doesn't make sense hor...play for fun ok lah...not professional what...better don't waste time on it lah, like rolling money into the hole like that haha. A Jack of all trades but master of none...haiz...haha.

A Quote of the day for myself and to all:

"The jack-of-all-trades seldom is good at any. Concentrate all of your efforts on one definite chief aim."

Photos taken at Balaclava

2005-09-26T21:21:00.000+08:00

I realise the gals have downloaded the photos and didn't send it over to me. Luckily I went over to their blogs and 'borrowed' a few. Hehe and here goes.... The 'Drunkard'

The 'Drunkard'

Night out with Poly Mates...

2005-09-24T02:32:00.000+08:00

Tiring day...just reached home from the Poly outing. Whoa...finally Dyanne started off with planning the first outing as per schedule on the timetable...Very nice of her to put in the effort to organise the outing despite her hectic workload. I went over after a function at CCK ended and even though I'm supposed to arrive late, I reach Marina at 2005hrs. But the new structure of Marina made me blur...together with another blur sotong, we spent 15 minutes trying to locate where Swensons was lol. Finally met up with Jer & Chris and had a simple dinner at Swensons and thereafter proceeded to a crowded Balaclava. Not all the guys turn up again...Today's attendance included Jarene, Dyanne, Chris, Teckwei(Drunkard) and myself...haha let's see who were the culprits who didn't make it again.

Susanna
Arrived at Balaclava, said Hi to all and told us that Jeremy was waiting for her at the taxi stand and that she was unable to join us today and with that she said bye and left. Whoa...I was stunned momentarily, unable to make out what I've just heard from her. That was a really big Boeing 747 that she put. But she promised she'll be there at the next outing.

Jean
Well she went over to US to look for her bf and did inform the organiser in advance that she was unable to attend the outing in September. So understandable lah...bf impt mah must spend more time together..keke ;p

One very interesting thing to note tonight is that Teckwei came late and drunk today after his company function ended. He was still sober enough to tell us that he drank 15 cans of beer...my goodness you just have to give me 2 cans and I'll be on my way to heaven haha and to think he could still make his way there after stoning down 15 cans. But nothing much to expect from him thereafter as he totally KO at Balaclava...slept there all the way till we left lol... Imagine with the live band and all the noises from the crowd, he could still sleep so soundly, no wonder Susanna called him a drunkard lol. We even took the chance to take some very stupid photos of Teckwei sleeping, photos are with Dyanne so most probably I guess she'll be putting it up in her blog soon.. ;p

The atmosphere at Balaclava was quite all right. I seem to grow fonder of live band nowadays. I was just telling them how I felt we're aging cause we seem to start loving live bands and old rock music. We could actually recall listening to one of the songs sang by the band(couldn't recall the name of the band, Jer should know it) 'Don't look back in anger' by Oasis sometime when we were in Secondary school...see how time flies haiz. Did I mention that the girls there look pretty cool...Go and have a look yourself. ;p

Good Month for Wedding???

2005-09-22T22:00:00.000+08:00

Is September a very good month for weddings??? I've received 4 red 'letters' this month...haiz wah lau eh burn one hole in my pocket liao haha. Like that already eat into 1/4 of my pay liao. But it's wonderful to see people tying their knots, settling down and starting their own families. It makes you start wondering when it'll be your turn....haha.

One of those red 'letters' I've received is from my brother. He's considered to be one of the first in the 'band of brothers' to settle down. So surprised hor, all of them was expecting me to be the first haha...too bad they were disappointed. But it's nice to see all brothers attending and offering help all the occasion. Although it was a busy day for them, but they were at all smiles when the event ended.

Heard so much from those who got married, things like must plan early lah, plan in advance so that things won't be so much of a rush. Then the aunties would say 'Time to get married and settle down lah, you're not young anymore'...aiyoh headache ah...haha.

There's this joke that goes:
Wedding dinners are always places where aunties say the same old thing when they see you.
'Boy ah, when will it be your turn?'
But the aunties soon stop saying that when I started saying the same thing back to them whenever we attended........

'Funeral Wakes'......hehe

Just a joke to brighten up your day. ;p

Cherish Life & Everything around us.

2005-09-16T23:45:00.000+08:00

Everyday, we're awaken with another chance at Life.
Sometimes we forget how lucky we are and we often fail
to appreciate the little things around us that mean so much.

This is actually a poem which was sent to me quite sometime back and I've been saving it in my hard drive, happened to come across it and decided to post it as I found it meaningful. So here goes...

Too often we don't realise what we have until it's gone;
Too often we wait too late to say "I'm sorry - I was wrong."
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late to see what made us blind.

So be sure to let people know how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words before your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate everything you've got
And be thankful for the little things in life that mean a lot.

The End.

So guys & gals, ladies and gentlemen do remember to cherish what you have now. Do not live to regret what you've not done (or done). There's this saying "Live life as if it's the last day of your life and you'll learn to treasure things dear to you(or maybe I should say 'look at things from a different perspective')."

Well individuals have differing opinions, so maybe you should ask yourself; what have you missed out in your ever busy life? Have you forgotten someone dear to you? Take some time off your busy schedule to take a look around on who you've been neglecting. Should we be spending more quality time with our close ones? Think about it...

3 facts about me, for you to know

2005-09-09T00:43:00.000+08:00

Ok.. got tagged and pressure was applied by Jer to divulge 3 facts abt myself tat some of u might not know abt, n then tag 5 others for their 'secrets', hmmm. To start with I think my friends know every nuts about me, so I really don't know what you guys are missing out on...anyway I'll try my best to recall something you guys do not know k.

fact un
I'm a notes collector, in other words I collect money. I just started this hobby around a year back. Been expanding my collection but still can't seem to fill up one book. Notes are real costly anyway. However through the collection of notes, I made new friends and acquire new knowledge on notes and it's always the learning process that is the most valuable thing. But lessons learnt in notes collection can be quite costly at times. Just one of the latest note I've acquired to my collection to share.

fact deux
I'm actually a very serious person. Ya now quite a few might be scratching their heads and asking themselves...hmmm is he? haha. Well, people always see me as a happy go lucky and fun loving person but those who really spent quality time with me would know that I'm actually a rather serious person when it comes to serious stuff. Maybe should call my gf and ask haha. Of cuz I love to joke and fool around occasionally with my friends cause I love to see all those who are close to me happy. However, this is not very applicable at work. When someone sees you as a playful chap at work, you can forget about being entrusted with duties which they deem that only a serious person can be entrusted. Just a word of advise 'Never judge a book by its cover'. Learn to understand everyone around you in depth and not just by what you see on the surface.

fact trios
I'm a singer-wannabe also haha just like Jer, love singing since young.. joined the band in pri sch and even went for a few competitions among concert bands. I still remember as having to put on lipsticks whenever we went for competitions haha...Those were the days. Hmmm really love KTV sessions with kakis, like Jer, Dyanne, Roy, Potato...though not as much KTV-ing as before. Maybe no one knows this, I ever attempt to write a song, however it didn't turn out right cause I'm only ok at filling lyrics and no talent for creating the rhythm as I do not have any piano or guitar background. Although I tried hard and bought myself an organ, I still find it hard to master anything on my own. Think I should start planning to go for piano lesson. Ask my dad to teach me guitar but was given excuses like "I forgot already lah, so long ago liao" haha. Hey maybe I should go sign up for Lee Wei Song's music school like Jer did haha. Then I can practise my head voice, chest voice, ma dian...haha.

So that's all folks...I hope it didn't bore you guys that much... ok, so I'm supposed to tag another 5 and where in the hack am I supposed to find 5 others...kuku...My list only got 2 links and 1 belonged to the person who tagged me so who am I suppose to tag. I'm going to get all my friends to start their blogs...

Well who cares haha so the next 5 to be tagged:
Multi-service provider
Cinderella
LifeConcept
Buggie
Jer (Can I tag you back to tell me 3 more facts keke)

绝对Superstar Final .....

2005-09-01T22:48:00.000+08:00

William won... I really don't know whether it's fair for us to judge who is better. By looking at the performance and overall results today, we can clearly see that this 绝对Superstar is definitely not a programme which judges a person only by his/her singing capabilities. Fans are a very important factor and how your fans come about is also another question. I can only say that 'Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder'...haizzz Well, in the end it's still entertainment.

My mom commented on something funny which I found to be quite true after analysing. She said that William won because most aunties & uncles would support him, while supporters for Pan Jia Li would only be of the younger age range. So by comparing the salary scale of younger age and uncle & aunties; of course uncle and aunties richer to vote more lah lol...

Anyway, both the finalist got a contract with the music company so everything ended smoothly for them. Kudos to all those who joined the competition. At least they had the courage and spirit to challenge themselves to take part in 绝对Superstar. Well although the finale wasn't that fantastic, it wasn't out of expectations also...and that marks the end of 绝对Superstar.

人生就是为了找寻爱的过程，每个人的人生都要找到四个人。

第一个是自己,
第二个是你最爱的人，
第三个是最爱你的人，
第四个是共度一生的人.

首先会遇到你最爱的人，然後体会到爱的感觉；
因为了解被爱的感觉，所以才能发现最爱你的人；
当你经历过爱人与被爱，学会了爱，才会知道什么是你需要的,
也才会找到最适合你，能够相处一辈子的人。
但很悲哀的，在现实生活中，这三个人通常不是同一个人；
你最爱的，往往没有选择你；最爱你的，往往不是你最爱的；
而最长久的，偏偏不是你最爱也不是最爱你的,
只是在最适合的时间出现的那个人。
你，会是别人生命中的第几个人呢？
没有人是故意要变心的，他爱你的时候是真的爱你，
可是他不爱你的时候也是真的不爱你了，
他爱你的时候没有办法假装不爱你；
同样的，他不爱你的时候也没有办法假装爱你。
当一个人不爱你要离开你，
你要问自己还爱不爱他，
如果你也不爱他了，千万别为了可怜的自尊而不肯离开；
如果你还爱他，你应该会希望他过得幸福快乐，
希望他跟真正爱的人在一起，绝不会阻止，
你要是阻止他得到真正的幸福，就表示你已经不爱他了，
而如果你不爱他，你又有什么资格指责他变心呢？
爱不是占有，
你喜欢月亮，不可能把月亮拿下来放在脸盆里，
但月亮的光芒仍可照进你的房间。
换句话说，你爱一个人，也可以用另一种方式拥有，
让爱人成为生命里的永恒回忆，
如果你真爱一个人，就要爱他原来的样子─爱他的好，也爱他的坏：
爱他的优点，也爱他的缺点，
绝不能因为爱他，就希望他变成自己所希望的样子，
万一变不成就不爱他了。
真正爱一个人是无法说出原因的，
你只知道无论何时何地、心情好坏，你都希望这个人陪著你；
真正的感情是两人能在最艰苦中相守，也就是没有丝毫要求。
毕竟，感情必须付出，而不是只想获得；
分开是一种必然的考验，
如果你们感情不够稳固，只好认输，
真爱是不会变成怨恨的。
两人在谈情说爱的时候，
最喜欢叫对方发誓，许下承诺我们为什么要对方发誓，
就是因为我们不相信对方，我们根本不相信情人，
而这些山盟海誓又很不切实际：
海枯石烂、地老天荒，都不能改变我对你的爱!
明知道海不会枯、石不会烂、地不会老、天不会荒；
就算会，也活不到那时候。
许下诺言的时候千万注意，不要许下可以实现的诺言，
最好是承诺做不到的事，
反正做不到的，随便说说也不要紧，
请记住：”不可能实现的诺言最动人”
在爱情里，说的是一套，做的是另一套；
讲的人不相信，听的人也不相信。
你呢？找到了第几个？
茫茫人海中，你遇见了谁？谁又遇见了你？

Jer's Birthday Celebration pics!!!

Jer's Birthday...

2005-08-29T23:40:00.000+08:00

She's really a very busy or should I say; well organised person. Wah lau eh...celebrate her birthday for her still need advanced booking one leh. Then hor only managed to get a slot in the afternoon for a KTV session. What is upsetting is that she never even mention our outing in her blog! Aiyoh this just goes to show how important this group of 3rd yr poly mates are to her lol...

Aiyah anyway, it was not really considered a birthday celebration, maybe more of a catching up session. Like what I always say, these occasions are always the best times to get people to catch up with each other. However the irony is not all turned up, only 4 persons went for the tcss session. Hmmm, let me see, our group consist of 7 persons, so let us take a look at why the other 3 can't make it.

1) Jean
Reason being she's actually working 20hrs per day in the bank and this was a tight period for her as she was busy preparing for some budgeting stuff.

2) Susanna
Reason being she went wakeboarding and it just ended at 3 plus and still at Punggol.

3) Chris
Reason being work ended late at 4 so just reach home very tired.

Haiz...That's the reason why I always find organising this type of outing a hassle. Arranged liao but last minute sure got people put 747 one. Anyway cannot blame them also lah...not all of them like KTV mah.

Anyway, got to catch up a bit at the outing and wah I didn't know someone was single liao leh. My reception for this kind of information very laggy leh. It kinda like happen 2 to 3 months back liao and I just got to know it. Think I must log on more to msn to keep myself updated with the latest gossips. Hope that she can find her golden tortoise soon lah now that the wooden one is out of the way haha.

Wah still got Teckwei, it was some kinda belated birthday celebration for him cause he's older than Jer by 1 week...power man this time go KTV dare to open golden mouth and finally sing more liao. Last time go there, don't even want to sing now at least not bad liao leh...steady lah. Ya hor, not forgetting the birthday girl herself...actually nothing much happen to her lah. But I'm expecting her to enter into a relationship within the next 2 months cause I think someone's back and she seems to be reciprocating the feelings...keke. We shall wait till the next outing to see whether my guess is right. ;p

Now I still have to plan a timetable to make sure everyone has a turn to plan an outing for a month..haiz. Still have to try to arrange a Genting trip hmmm...don't know whether will work out in the end. We shall look forward to it...

Actually got pic taken lah, but hor Diane haven't send to me leh...I'll post it up right after she send it over...kudos.

Wedding Bells

It's been a few days since I last posted...well been kinda busy this few days with lotsa things happening around me. Let's start with Jason's shocking news first. He's going to get married! I remembered catching up with him last week during William's birthday and we didn't even mentioned anything about our partners and out of a sudden, he's getting married omg... Initially I thought Hanxi was just joking with me when I first received his call, but I realised that it wasn't a joke when William also called me enquiring about Jason.

The person himself finally called me and broke the news to me. I felt a bit confused (never even met his girlfriend b4 lol) but was also happy for him. To think that all the brothers thought I would settle down first...well they were wrong, Jason actually beat me to it haha. So it kinda means I'll have to burn a big hole next month due to the wedding season...wah lau eh already got 2 red bomb liao leh.

Idiots exist in the world

Pardon my language in this post. This post is actually dedicated to all idiots in the world who does not know how to respect others by speaking in a nice manner. An idiot really pissed me off yesterday by talking like a rude ass. Shit is the word! I was using such a nice tone to talk to him and he was like a bloody fool shouting off at the other side of the phone as if I owed him a million bucks. Even if I owed him a million bucks, I think he should still give people some freaking respect. I guess he's a person with very very very very extremely low moral education or maybe no education at all.

Respect is earned and respect doen't comes just because of the post you're in! That freaking fool actually just spouted nonsense and tried to be difficult when I requested something from him. And he even mentioned his BIG NAME and organisation he was from previously and he thinks he's really that great by saying all the crap. Seems to me that he's a big bloody foolish jerk who only knows how to boss people around. I really pity those who have to work with him day in and out. My condolences to all who's working under him.

He really pissed me off to the extend that I couldn't eat anything. Thinking of him just simply makes my blood boil! He really made my day suk. I've never ever been so fuking pissed by someone before. He must be an expert in this area!

Anyway, I really hope everyone would try to speak nicely and not act like a dumb ass like some others would because it would really reflect very badly on your origins.
