What a disaster..

happy 11th!

2010-05-17T23:07:00.002+08:00

Finally got myself some time off! long time no g**g le! started the day with a early wake up @ 815 am. Thats the reasonable and optimum time a normal creature should wake up la, exculding those nocturnal ones. Went to g**g and buy bf for darling, the usual nice sandwich with tuna and scrambled egg.

After that FINALY CAUGHT IP MAN 2!! Doesnt disappoint at all, was worth the 14 bucks for all the action and just looking at donnie yen and most importantly, spending time with my darling =)

NorthPoint is not bad at all, refreshing change from lot 1, bukit panjang plaza, greenridge shopping centre and bangkit. prbly second or third time there only. I managed to find the nice yishun laksa that i had so many years ago, just to find that it was sold out!! ok but neh mind the other hawker centre also quite nice la.

HAPPY 11TH DARLING! had a great day out with you..

The fragility of my aging body

2010-04-04T20:35:00.002+08:00

Just barely turned 20 and i am consumed by sickness and ailments. Practically was put down by food poisoning for 3 days, with multiple bouts of you-know-what and gruesome vomiting. Missed sharons birthday party and so..... SORRY SHARON! i would really have wanted to go 1 you know hor.. neh mind next year there will be a chance to go ur party again =)

Thanks darling for taking care of me.. you and my mum on par sia. I can see your experience in nursing patients with stomach discomfort, and feel what you go through every month.. It is bad, may I empathise more with you in future and do the same for you.

You looked like an angel, shining through ... ermmm my dimly lit room, taking care of me. Hahaha

Im fine now.. out from the worst diarrhea of my life..

I PASSED!!

2010-03-30T21:12:00.002+08:00

I am the luckiest guy on EARTH! ok in singapore la.. which other country have the same licensing system as singapore? I PASSED! FIRST ATTEMPT! WOOHOO!! 18 DEMERIT POINTS!!!!

glad that choosing private instructor paid off.. Thnx royston for introducing your uncle to me! but then again... i would have chosen someone else if given the second chance haha.. seriously no offence intended, just that my instructor's teaching style doesnt suit me.. (soft approach works on me, hard approach makes me even more rebelious) well if you want to have my instructor teach you as well just drop me a sms @ 96278440! call me if you want a breakdown of private and school system as well!

Yesterday went to BBDC to help Kai Yang register as a school auto learner driver, at the last moment and even after he paid he was still in a dilemma of whether to choose private or auto. See his face every1 will say school auto what! haiz.. he that kind of people is really very san xin er yi 1.. took so long to register and paid quite a lot i would say. I LOVE PRIVATE.

Down on lucks

2010-03-29T22:44:00.003+08:00

There is a reason why i am so afraid of creepy crawlies.

THEY JUST FREAK ME OUT. you guys should have heard of my grabbing the lizard story so im skipping that. Here goes..

Its 12am midnight, a tired and eyes closing me just wana grab a quick shower and head to my blissful slumber. As i routinely collected my clothes and hung them on the hook, instinctively reached for the shower head, I TOUCHED A COCKROACH, AND IT FLEW TOWARDS ME, BOUNCED OFF ME AND CRAWLED AWAY TO SAFETY. all this before i even had the chance to stomp on it.

Grumbling to myself about the kok eye and slow reflexes and all, i continued to use the soap with such grace and smoothness that only comes with long years of practice. Could be that i squeezed too hard or the soap was just too slippery, It flew right out of my hand and went straight for the toilet bowl. my life sucks.

This is quite a lamb experience which every1 may have experienced in his life. so dun go too hard on the comments k.

Took 3 flushes to get the soap down to the sewers.. the soap is very slippery after all..

Bird Day!

2010-02-20T23:34:00.002+08:00

It was a bestest bird days i could dream of! everything is so nice and pleasant, waking up early, forgetting to get breakfast, taking bus to changi village, eating nice nasi lemark and cycling around ubin and everything!

Thanks cute you darling for putting together a wonderful day out at the natural escapade of an island!
You barely tired =(

The cute girlfriend's Joke of the day

"Eh he got bully you or not?"

"yeah! he bully me"

"Ok, then I don't bring him out to 溜 already"

Day 0

2010-02-11T12:40:00.002+08:00

Finally went to tay junction to get a bike after my camp cohesion day(better earn me some offs for organising the cohesion program). CPL Melvin drove me there in this volkswagen and yeah of course, he should =)

Tay Junction is huge, you guys should go check it out. Like a Metro worth of bikes on sale, every type of bike for every type of purpose. Saw some 400 odd stuffs on offer at the entrance, but since Melvin didnt say a word of them, i probably shouldnt say much too. The owner recommended a the Giant Iguana to, citing excellent specs for a reasonable price. Is it true? or just trying to get me to buy something? Verified with Melvin, if that is true then the Iguana is likely to be mine soon. Yep its true. Victor bought an Iguana recently too.

I got the Iguana, then decided to ride it home. SUPER SHIOK! it had good acceleration, its light, the entire journey was smooth, only downside was that i perspirated.

Feeling very good that day =)

Random Reflections

2009-12-30T12:46:00.002+08:00

Feeling hungry @ 8am in the morning in camp, so i went to the canteen and got myself a packet of bee hoon mixed with guo tiao. Was just feeling like a normal day when the stallholder auntie said something to me:

"thanks so much for consistently patronising my stall." (but of cause not in english)

This simple gesture of gratitude started a million thoughts in my head. These elderly hawkers have to wake up at 3am in the morning(verified), go to the market and buy stuff to cook, arrive @ the stall at 630am and serve ungrateful b*stards like me, then at the end of the day throw away the excess food. and how much do they earn for shit like this? prbly few hundred bucks if lucky(not counting cost of the food wastage.

Maybe i can do my part by telling them when will alot of people be absent =/

2009-12-26T11:00:00.001+08:00

Screwed up my life, now its time to get it back on track.

The product of love is terrible..

2009-10-27T21:03:00.002+08:00

.. in its early years, of course. I went to read stories for a friend's children, partly for improving their english as well. Well, the standard of my english is not exactly great, but i geuss i could give it a shot.

Kids nowadays simply translate into problems and trouble for couples. They are extreme attentions seekers, you cannot even look away for a few seconds. It feels like an order given, to focus all my attention onto them or else.. something bad will happen. However, they are not really so interesting to begin with.

The second challenge was that they hunger for so much knowledge. When confronted with a insanely intelligent question that i will never dream of asking, I get a eerie chill down my old and fragile spine. Someday, these kids will have to move on to other sources of information when they absorbed all my knowledge and deem me a obsolete retard who knows nothing.

Its was quite tramautising, was I once such a pain in the ass for my parents too?

a foreigner was selling kids' apparel. he asked me if i had kids, which i rewarded with puzzled face and a immediate NO.
"What The Hell is your problem, do it for Singapore man!"

Obviously this guy doesnt have kids. I finally found the main reason behind Singapore's low birth rates.

Good Life

2009-10-20T21:16:00.003+08:00

PEOPLES GIVE NUS A VISIT, GOT LOTSA CHEAP STUFF INCLUDING HAVIANAS SLIPPERS, BRANDED PERFUMES AND DEODERANTS, 5 BUCKS MOVIE PASSES AND MANY MORE.

Shopped at NUS with Itchy dear, super xin fu that got so much cheap stuff! Got the cooling pillow from West Coast Plaza also, though they don't work anymore(DAMNIT). im turning into a shopaholic.. but i got no confessions to make. Im very proud of our bargain hunting skills.

Had great times with you around =)

The guilt is over whelming me

2009-10-20T21:09:00.002+08:00

I think i just did something unforgivable. Eve and me were having dinner at Mega Bites in NUS, after dinnering we needed tissues to clean the edge of our mouths. She said that she passed me her pack of tissues just now, i said the tissues are with her. Finally we cant find the tissues and decided to go home with our mouths dirty. ALL THE WAY FROM NUS TO BUKIT PANJANG.

and the worst thing is that i found the pack of tissues hiding in a secret compartment in my puma sling bag. IT WAS THERE THE WHOLE TIME.

OMG, im so sorry darling. =(

FUMING

2009-10-17T22:24:00.002+08:00

**** how could i have failed my Basic Theory Test!!! now i will be the laughing stock of millions of singaporeans that have passed their BTT. I used to laugh at the questions, LOL so easy, even blindfolded also can answer correctly la! and behold, true enough i was laughing at some of the questions and people beside me were looking nervously at me, thinking im crazy. after 25 mins, FAILED. i stared at the screen long after the FAILED faded and forgot what my surname was.

Lucky, Eve was there to accompany me through this darkest moment of my driving adventure. Thats so very sweet of you =)

Favourite Question of the day:

The Dark Side returns

2009-09-29T22:18:00.005+08:00

-adapted from Talkback Stomp (for fear of being charged with plagiarism)

those guys who are wondering whats up with the corny title can refer to my archives.
THE DREADED FATS ARE UPON US! its really sad how the human body can degenerate with age, its the kind of thing that girls are doing whatever they could to make it go away, sometimes ruthlessly, as with Da Bai Sa(the Getai host that suddenly lost so much weight with methods i don't want to know).

As the temptation of the fats lures me with its insufferable power once again, i find myself weak and the will to fight back fades away as time passes,years piling on plump years. I would prefer to think of it as this is what everyone experiences, only those with the strongest willpower seem to shield themselves from the onslaught of the Dark Side, for i am old and weak, my abilities are no match for the enemy any longer.

I raise my white flag and surrender, on one condition: just dun put the fats on my tummy, its big enough already. Maybe legs or face, anything but my tummy. Please =(

Ms Singapore 2009

2009-09-27T22:53:00.006+08:00

Our very own Ms Ris Low, Miss Singapore World 2009. Ok shes pretty, confident, got a nice hot body, photogenic and really knows how to have fun(afterall she still won, right?). The only problem with her is that her command of the english language is not that great, or maybe that she was trialled in court for a credit card fraud.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c_A7-7B7-w
-Ris "Bimbotic" Low

I geuss thats kind of mean. So a girl that cant speak well doesnt deserve to be crowned Miss World Singapore? Thats like saying if you are not fashionable, then you shouldnt be the winner of F1 grand prix even though you crossed the finish line in 1st place. ok i am sorry but i just watched the race on channel 5.

Before WE SINGAPOREANS start commenting about her and her "Uniquely Singapore" english, shouldnt we take a good look in the mirror? Singaporeans were never famous for their excellent england, and quite on the contrary, we kind of suck. Basic english prounciation are not done properly, like the word "photographer". Just take a good look at the Stomp webby, English as it is broken. Zia han zhua zia. ( paiseh chinese not very good, pin yin oso duno)

Come on man, lets start giving people a chance.

F1 did not rock

2009-09-27T12:13:00.003+08:00

Just a few minutes after logging off, Kia Liang reached me on the phone and said "Dude, free F1 tix, lets go."

"ALRIGHT MAN, FREE 200 BUCKS TIX! LETS GO!"

And off we went, reached city hall at about 7 plus, met up with Tian Rong(Sharon Sim's BF) @ Cedele and wrote her card. She saw the card already so its ok to blog! The BF was kind of sweet man, haha but apparently sort of pissed off Lucas and Kia Liang because he had been pestering them to write the card for months.

However, we had to walk the entire length of the circuit from city hall to turn 1, which got me drenched in perspiration by the time we got to our seats. On the way i heard the engine roaring but saw no car, so i told them "DUDE THE RACE IS STARTING LETS HURRY!"

Got a cold reply from KL ,"eh chill la, thats the safety car ." lol quite sua ku (frog in the well in hokkien)

Once we had our seats in the Grandstand, the F1 cars started to move. At first it was amazing, SO DAMN FAST! GEAR CHANGE WAS LIKE A GRENADE EXPLODING! THE CARS LOOK GORGEOUS! ok but after 15 minutes quite sian already because the same thing keeps happening, cars jus zooming past us and changing gear and crashing. OK not really crashing but they keep replaying last year's nelson crash. no wonder they need girls and a concert
BUT I DID TAKE SOME PICS WITH THE GRID GIRLS! POST THEM SOON =)

When i went home i read about the concert and how soda green, da mouth and zhang xue you and zhang hui mei were pissed @ the faulty sound system. I geuss F1 seriously did not rock this time.

I am a fan of Money Not Enough! Yeah because i just got fired from my tuition job and NS allowance only enough for all my basic expenses like eating sleeping transport phone bills, AND PUMA. My house is flooded with PUMA things! Cheap Chic and nice puma stuffs. However, this is not going to work, something must be done before the hidden shopaholic in me takes over and buys a lot of things.

Speaking of money, TOTO total JACKPOT on 25/09/09 is 9,700,000!!! OMG SHLD I BUY IT??? ok wana buy something again =.=

I geuss its not about the temptation of getting a few million bucks ba. its the sense of wanting to be included in something big, if i buy toto then maybe will have a chance to get that big bucks, but if don't buy then all is lost. ok after fliping a coin that shows tails, i shall not buy toto.

If i had a few million bucks, i will do something good and make our society a better place. then probably leave a million for myself and Eveeee, afterall i don't want to increase the income inequality anymore. This world is in a mess already, it needs people that want to help.

Doing fine!

2009-09-24T07:46:00.000+08:00

Over the long weekend life was so good that i didnt dare tell my mum, simply spent the whole 3 days with her and other than lazing around, we still laze around. This is the life man, let me work 2 days a week then spend the remaining time with her. Not everyday laze around cause that might cause some inner emptiness caused by doing nothing at all. if you are reading, This makes me just want to spend the rest of my life with you =)

Today was a great day too. woke up feeling fresh and ready to kill a tiger even though had relatively lesser sleep than other days. as usual was sitting the free shuttle to joo koon with mummy. While walking to SAFTI it start to rain.
THEN THE BESTEST THING HAPPENED TO ME.
THE NEWSPAPER UNCLE AGREED TO GIVE ME A RIDE! TO MY OFFICE!
ok i was just being lazy but that was really nice of the uncle. I want to be a newspaper uncle and give people a lift too.

Looking forward to the rest of the day lazing around with dear =)

911, a date to remember

2009-09-11T23:05:00.001+08:00

Why didnt I win anything!!! It looked like there were only a hundred over lucky draw tickets in there(though there were much more people probably a thousand), and mine was one of them! 35762, 35765 all won, why not 35767!!! Thanks alot, the 188 bus driver who saw me doing so many stupid actions and refuse to stop and allow me to board, thereafter making my lucky draw number a little more than the ones that won =(

Alright, in case you are wondering, i got a half day off today from the Boss to go for The Chevrons AGM annual meeting.

FYI The Chevrons is a club that I was "coaxed" into joining by the Forces that I was forced into joining.

So off to NUS to meet my lovely baby. Saw Dina at NUS and talked to her for a bit, its good to see someone from NYJC once again. She was a fellow Health Representative back in the good old days. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DINA. After much delay did the princess arrive and we were finally on our way to The Chevrons, mainly for the lucky draw, and thats what I am talking about just now. By the way, the Chevrons is really a nice place to book a chalet, there's this nice little pool, several barbecue pits and a lovely couple swinging seat infested with mosquitoes(but its ok if you brought some mosquito coil or something).

We explore the place, and wait patiently for dinner and THE LUCKY DRAW, which we didnt win anything. Speaking of that I probably have not won anything except for 6th in dualthlon with chor theng and The Suckiest Contestant for fogeting my lines in a story telling competition. THERE WAS A AKIRA LCD TV SO BIG I CANT FIT INTO MY LIVING ROOM.

Caught free screening of 17 Again, then went home disapointed, without a LCD TV =(

Life's good

2009-09-05T14:40:00.000+08:00

No chance to recourse, AFTERALL i injured my ankle seriously during primary school. I had to jump from the 1st to the last box when playing hopscotch, and now the ankle is unable to bear extra pressure. Oh well, life is still good, though it is not supposed to, cause I have the bestest girl in the whole world at my side! =)

2009-06-07T21:53:00.000+08:00

Its kinda hard to get a blog to be entertaining and interesting, and it doesnt help when i do not upload pictures. I geuss i will try making the blog at least readable, AND THIS BLOG IS NOT DEAD.

Preparations for university

2009-06-03T22:49:00.000+08:00

OK its not like im going to university in a few months, but im looking forward to it. There so much that every1 has been talking about, and it would definitely be better than the army, hopefully uni will be a fun place!

Im training myself up to be worthy of the NTU dragonboat team! hope they would want me, and i can borrow their mighty arms to reach those medals that i have been dreaming of. if any1 of u ntu dragonboaters out there is looking at this post, im gg to be your teammate soon! i hope..

Life is good, cheer up. Im a nice guy, i tink i reali should not deserve this =/ but since im stuck with it, might as well live with it and be happy with it. Going to help people that are even more ill-fortuned than me out this saturday, im willing to bet it makes me feel much better =)

Uncertain futures

2009-05-31T22:20:00.000+08:00

Life had been a bitch to me, throwing me around in all kinds of shit. Though i had some responsibilities in my current situation right now, being such a dumbass and not thinking of what i am doing at all beforehand. I actually told someone that i dont mind getting into an accident and just leave instantly or something. hey but that doesnt mean i would go jump down or drink some acid ok. Just whining about the shithole im stuck inside. Aftherall there will be alot of implications, alot of obligations later in my life. I will hate to bear them all.

PS i dun reali want anymore people to know about it. so all u guys who know, do me a favour =)

OK enough with emo things, my life is not jus downs and shit and slumps ok. i was blessed with good A level results, which i hope will be enough to secure a roof over my head and a bowl of rice to eat for dinner. But after witnessing the prowess of the mighty RJCians and HCJCians and WATEVERCians im like "this is not good." Have much to do if i want that roof and bowl of rice.

Glad my status is being pushed up by ntu, who had been SOOOO nice to me. Thanks alot NTU, next time i will share my roof and rice with u =) Im a CN Yang Scholar! hope that makes life easier for me. As in the workload in uni would be much higher but i dun have to work extra hard to pay for my tuition fees liao. That aid meant alot to me, and im grateful to have it.

2009-05-30T22:14:00.000+08:00

life sucks... i want to be healthy and fit =(

more emo-ness

2009-04-18T21:10:00.000+08:00

After 2 weeks of out of course status, the fats starts to pile on again. this is bad, very very bad. If only i can charge up the hill then down then do it all over again =( now i only charge to the cookhouse to eat, then back to the bed for a nap. It is only until this time that i discovered charging up the hill gives me satisfaction and helps to keep me in shape. If i had to stay in an air conditioned office doing paper work, i would probably miss the hill and go charge it in my free time.

Life is in quite a mess now. Everybody is doing something of their own, having their respective commitments. Losing touch le... same thing that is happening everytime when schools ends. I see people in the army for 5 days a week, maybe i have to see them for the remaining 2 days. feeling emo..

Life sucks

2009-04-11T12:17:00.000+08:00

i tink i have went through lots of things since army life started. All kinds of problems creep up to my unsuspecting figure and proceed to make my life difficult. through bmt my ingrown toenail afflicts excruiating pain on my foot, with every step taken the life seems to be sucked out of me. One can imagine the pressure on the toe when he has to carry load after load of army equipment, what a time to have an ingrown toenail. I can still remember the culprit that cause that toe so much pain, her name starts with L and ends with G, and she is very smart.

After tekong i was posted to sispec, where they found out i was posted wrongly after 3 days, so off i go to officer cafet school. Where after 2 weeks they downgraded me to pes C. No more bars for me, no more men to lead, no more sword to add to the display of the double swords of my elder brothers, the most painful part : no more moolah.

This is an emotional post because im very depressed to be forced out of the officer cadet course.

Long time no post

2009-03-18T00:11:00.000+08:00

just went to hang out with JC classmates, reali hope we can maintain contact after army. Afterall national service is a intense commitment, and intense it will be. The nature of the army is regimentation, total opposite from my personality and that means i would have a lot of trouble adapting in future.
I dont know why but somehow there is little that i have inspiration to write about, kind of like after one sentence i would think for quite sometime before typing the next sentence. The main reason was, i believe, regimentation.
Anyway, i still hope that i can the best in everything. thats not possible for kayaking already, maybe its still possible for my other interests and national service.
to the top i will climb, for this is a meritocratic society, and the world is cruel.

life as a prisoner

2009-03-01T15:19:00.000+08:00

There is no life. I do not even have the time to blog no more.. Maybe 22 months later when i ORD this blog will revive again..

Sometimes I really do not know what you are thinking

BLOODY DONATION

2008-12-21T20:03:00.001+08:00

didnt reali understooded what went over me. I ACTUALLY WENT TO DONATE BLOODY! i was supposed to be allergic to blood and will scream at the slightest wound, similar to phobia of lizards and cockroaches(esp the airborne ones). I geuss somehow i decided that a mans got to do what makes him manly. OHYA I WANT TO EMPHASIZE NIGEL PANGSEH US BECAUSE HE SCARE OF BLOODY. nice friend la nigel, say meet 1pm then 2pm sms me say u pangseh.. hahahah

After a series of "im feel sick la, cano donate.", "i recently went to batam la, cano donate" bonner and me did the bloody stuff. weikok did not donate because he was sick within the time period of the past 3 weeks. maybe he planned it all so it seems that he wanted to donate but canot =X

The stuff was quite tramautising, they stapled my middle finger and squeeze whatever little blood they could get their hands on( to test for iron in my blood). i wonder if it was a punishment for being so vuglar. was about to faint liao, but the sake of my manlyhood made me tolerate the distinct smell of blood. put anasethesia and antiseptic and POKE THE 3CM NEEDLE THROUGH MY POOR VEIN. of course it hurts to the core, the scream almost came but the presence of so many onloookers helped me suppress it.

I watched solemnly as my life fluids flowed outwards. momentarily i was once again stricken by the thought that we mortals are so fragile, so weak that any random occurrence could be fatal. my arm was numb and feel limp, despite feeling a strong pulse, i knew that it only hasten the outflow of life fluids. my muscles could not sustain the continuous action of having to squeeze the ball without blood. All seems to be lost, until at last the bloody red bag looked full. once again the agonizing feeling of retraction sear my very soul, i could feel the tear at the side of my eye, however like a man i rubbed it away. MEN BLEED, MEN DUN CRY.

Hope my blood can save many lifes.

saved by my luck

2008-12-15T21:37:00.000+08:00

this evening as i was going on the usual jog, something unsual occurred purely by chance. the branch of a tree towering over a basketball court in bukit panjang could no longer hold itself together after years of growth, it fell to the floor of the court. had anybuddy been playin basketball in that court, he might have been decimated by the massive falling branch. the manner of impact splintered the branch into imnumerable fragments that spreaded out over an area. The photo captures the scene that i was lucky enough to witness. It was then the horror of reality strucked me as i keep my phone after taking the shot. approaching from a distance, i had decide to take a shortcut through the basketball court since it was empty. If i were jogging even a little faster, i would have been right under that particular branch and who knows what would become of me when that branch obliterates me on the spot. I had not even left a will behind and more importantly not told things to those whom i wish to tell. the thought of getting hit by the that menacing branch sent a chill down my spine, immediately i realised i was much more lucky than jus being able to witness a random branch collasping.

after that all i still went to jog as though nothing had happened, training has to go on and my place at officer cadet school had to be secured. it was during that run i comptemplated the fragility of us mortals, death could so easily consume us. Also, i wondered if i should go buy lottery or something.

The better and ideal community

2008-12-13T23:54:00.000+08:00

Some may disagree, but seriously i am not very good with strangers and making friends. i kinda speak to a complete stranger before, but thats only after 2 years of mustering up courage(i see her quite often). with katherine's help i have realised that how much this had costed me. if i dare to speak up, those long trips to and fro might not be so lonely afterall. I have this opinion now that in singapore, we are too conservative; we do not make friends so easily, nobuddy is willing to take the initiative to say something random and start that friendship. the result is a much too dull and boring society where nobuddy aint friendly.

I hope that is going to change. Katherine taught me the way, i can see nirvana now. Speaking up is my code, even though sometimes that aint going to work.

kids sucks

2008-12-12T23:14:00.000+08:00

I tink my mum made a tremendous loss in giving birth to me. being the last one, my attributes of intelligence, stength and agility are expectedly lower than my older siblings. as they say, the more the kids you have, the higher the chances of flaws and deformities ( might be colour blindness??) most that i have given my mum is worries, anxiety, troubles and an extra mouth to feed. even when i was born she had to pay a fine under the one child policy. We were not exactly rich, and there were 5 children to rise!! There were many things that she have to do for me, and i didnt exactly greet her everyday she returned from work; not really massage her exhausted frame, and on the contrary expected her to whip up dinner with whatever little energy she has. I suck.

but all that is going to change, at least attempting to be changed. i believe that my mum deserves a better life. with the remaining little time i have, i shall acquire the skills of cooking and hone my ability with the household chores. I hope that she would just need to go to work, then come home to enjoy a prepared dinner, then rest and watch tv before sleeping. I wish in future when all my siblings have left to start a family of their own, i can stay under the same roof with my mum and look after her in her retirement life.

i helped my mum mop the floor yesterday! look, isnt it clean and sparkling?

PROM

It was my first time as a guest going to hotel functions, i was a waiter for the rest of the experiences. prom was great, the people are lovely and nicely done up, the ambience was fun lively, everything seems to come together except for things that we do not have control over. one was the FOOD, i bet i can cook better than that chef in hilton. Oh well, at least we still have something to eat =( took lots of photos BUT NOT WITH MR KWEK! wat the I FORGOT! when i realised he was gone already. haha he is a nice man, jus a little naggy at times.

Another day at work

2008-11-24T01:50:00.000+08:00

As usual, i was extremely exhausted after work because of huge workload. I sense that we are being overworked and underpaid, the wages are not tagged to productivity, as in no matter how hard we work the salary is still the same.(yea so might as well work slowly) but no such luck, once the dinner commence we are forced to work hard or face complaints from the customers. At least, the customer said that i cut the fish until very nice today, haha happys. i feel that im becoming better at such household chores things.

checklist of flaws

2008-11-22T01:01:00.000+08:00

Just back from work, as usual my legs ached and eyelids were heavy but i have to do this post. today's work was uneventful (i am a banquet waiter at grand copthorne), except that the United Nations acting secetary general was present AND SHE WALK PAST ME. I almost felt that sense of grandeur when someone so important is a inch away from me. Also, i got to know that in Feburary the current american president-elect Obama will attend an international conference held in Grand Copthorne. Despite knowing that i will not be there, i am excited.

Onto the main objective of this post. Seriously, i hope that whatever i did wrong, have affected or offended anybody is in my knowledge. That simply means u people would have to tell me. Of course, as wei kok would say," He(me) will give you that emo face." I bet that is true more often than not, but is it not reasonable. when we are talking about how much i suck, i think i do not need to eat drink and be merry. I promise that if reasonable i will definitely accept and apply you people's suggestions and criticisms,possibly after some emo-ing. Believe me, if you really want to help me to become a better person, you are likely to succeed.

during the A levels, i would either study at home or meet up with some friends to mug at libraries. It is true that i expected studying outside to be less productive because nothing is more comfortable than your own home sweet home. Now i know that when i slack outside when i am supposed to study, i distract others and that is selfish. So next is: no more studying outside unless i truely want to study.

What really makes me dislike and hate anyone are those that direct outright insults to me. Sadly i feel that one of my closer friends actually does that. I geuss this attitude of mine is because of bad memories(shall talk about them next time). I have a ego that is huge, and only possess anger and hate to those that are out to make my life miserable. In any situations, please remember to consider other people's feelings when you decide to "ren shen gong ji", or personal attack. If in doubt of what to do besides outright insults, please refer to above.

Happy birthday Dewei!

yesterday was birdie's birday. i geuss we really did quite abit for him and ,yeah he was happy. And thats enough reward for the effort already, you see making people happy is a satisfying thing to do since its not that easy. we had multiple gifts and cards for him, went to chill out with him then literally slept over at his nest.

i am glad i went to "sleep over". I heard lots of things, good and bad regardless, all of them got me thinking. there are many stupid things that i have done, most of them irreversible and at best the impact can only be minimized. i hope these things does not cause anyone to dislike me and stuff, because sometimes i think with my butt and do those that are incomprehensible even for myself.

its time to brood upon the my behaviour and their impacts, in order to become a better person for the good of those around me. I hope i can grab the opportunities that was given to me, and start anew in the army. I will think before acting now, hope i succeed.

If it not success, i will be execute.

CLOSE FOR MAINTENANCE. APOLOGISE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED, WILL BE BACK SOON(hopefully) =)

The terrible fact about sheding fats

2008-10-28T22:21:00.000+08:00

If you only knew the power of the Dark Side.
-Darth Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith

The Dark Side lurks everywhere, its is almost omnipresent. Such a characteristic of the evil aspect of the Force inevitably leads to extreme difficulty in sheding fats. One can be awe-stricken by the sheer number of Kentucky Fried Chicken resturants in our galaxy, it has such a presence that the inexperienced and even recently ascended Fatdi cannot resist. Its tools of persuasion are numerous and effective, tempting and seducing many to follow it the murky ways of the Dark Side.

Even in view of the grim situation, the Force has to be dealt with. Much is at stake if the Fatdi and Sith retain the concentration of mini-fatits in their bodies. I shall champion the cause and lead my people away from the influence of the Force. =)

The much dreaded army life is upon us!

WHY!!!! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE JANUARY!! 我命苦啊 =（

I was planning such a perfect holiday of partying with friends intensively and enriching myself with all manners of abilities. Now I must party even more intensively with the limited time. All this seems like a conspiracy against me, although i do not sense one.

I hope you guys remember me when im crawling around in dirt and firing my rifle, hopefully in the cockpit of a fighter also. I so going to blog about all of you INDIVIDUALLY in my remaining days, so stay tuned!

The truth behind education

2008-10-23T23:47:00.000+08:00

Sometimes i wonder ,"why am i doing this to myself?" Studying derives no ultility,instead it sure is dull and boring, at the same time robbing us of our precious time. Of course, in the name of a good pay and future prospects in the workplace, that is our guarantee provided we can excel. As i investigate deeper into this pursue of "good pay and prospects", the root cause is ,unsurprisingly, the need for more goods and services(as the econistas put it). obviously i do not suggest return to living as the cavemen, but in my opinion we are overdoing it.

At the thought of tietary education and life as a worker, i sense a chill down my spine. Generally that lifestyle is full of academic pursues and slogging hard for an income. Most of our time is spent on these "unpleasurables", that leaves little time for leisure ( a necessity since the dawn of time). It is of little wonder that the social fabric is being eroded in developed countries, such as loneliness, skyrocketing divorce rates, cases of suicide, etc. Somehow, all these apocalytic senarios can be linked to a lack of leisure time. =(

BUT THATS NOT GOING TO STOP HAOJIE DEWEI MINGXIAN HAOBIN JUNHONG JOEY WEIKOK VINCENT JOHN WEIHAN MAOCHENG CHORTENG LIXIANG JINGYI JINGQI JOEL CHERLYN YILING WANPEI LUCAS GARY SHARON ANGELINE EUNICE SHUMIN KIALIANG AND MYSELF AND EVERYBUDDY FROM ACEING THE A LEVELS. I just hope that the situation of such relentless pursuit of affluence can slow down, giving us a breathing space so that we start on the path to a greater quality of life ( more on non-material ) in future.

Memories in the water

2008-10-20T21:49:00.000+08:00

It all started out with this need to shed some fats from my flabby frame. Of course, with some persuasion from the tanned, muscular seniors of the team, my entry into canoeing would be immient. None of the tormenting training ever crossed my then very young mind, I could only think of the fun in the sun.

The first training was scary, i could see giants towering over me. They all seem to be experienced rowers and nothing could stop them, let alone me. For the first timer, canoeing simply demands patience. Everything seems to go wrong: the berserk boat going in random directions, the smell of the water(yucks, i can still imagine that murky, dark odour) , the fatigue and etc..

One of the most memorable incident is the national junior canoeing championships 2008(NJCC). My partner(weikok) and I were ordered not to participate in this competition for fear of alerting our opponents. Maybe it was tactics, but it did not achieve its intended outcome. Our teammates went ahead to win a medal, while we watched from the safety of shore. so in these two years of rowing, I did not achieve a single thing that was worth telling my grandchildren.

I can still recall the extreme shedule during the june holidays. Me weikok and joey went to train for A divisons at macritche reservoir everyday. I bet if you went to macritche, you can find our footprints there! ( FYI the toilet is full of lizards!) More importantly, being a light bulb for 2 months was ultimately...... a disturbing experience.

The repercussions of our inability to hoard medals at the national interschool A Division proved to be severe. threats of closing down constantly haunt nanyang rowers, now even the right to compete in recreational and national competitions have been taken away. These dark, troubled times are overwhelming, and we are partly responsible. I question the realism of being a nanyang canoeist and taking A levels simoutaneously.

My dream house

2008-10-18T21:35:00.000+08:00

Sohee's got a humongous house, with everything that i had dreamt about for the past 18years of my life. HDB flats reflect the very real situation that our very small country is indeed overcrowded. Hopefully this will turn out to be better in future when land reclamation is there to save the day. Nevertheless, i still want a building to call my own, and the first step to that is aceing the A levels!

That house will have a small garden with a large grass patch. Pets are necessities, for when they pounce about the garden carefree and elated,那画面是多么美好. Fret not, i am not those that simply dump them when they grow up and become not cute. Pets are a source of joy and companionship that is becoming increasingly important as the life becomes boring and repetitive from all that studying and money hoarding.

A runway and aircraft hangar would be nice, considering the pilot that i am so going to become in future(totally igoring the fact that im colourblind and that makes it impossible to be a pilot). ok quite sianz at this colourblindness liao so.. thats all!

An encouragement from someone fat

2008-10-12T20:10:00.000+08:00

The Force surrounds each and everyone of us, binding all manner of fats to living bodies. The knowledge of what It is and how to manipulate It is a great mystery, for none have ever been able to explain It properly. It is said that mini-fatits( or fats, as we call it) gives one a special connection to the Force; as the concentration of mini-fatits residing in a living body increases, the magnitude of influence the Force has on the body is heightened.

A practitioner of the Force is called the Fatdi( or jedi). They are the ones whose affinity for the Force is great, enabling them to receive the gift that the Force has to offer.The path to becoming a Fatdi is long and demanding, requiring much consumption and slacking. Of a significant size, the Fatdi have been around us for a long time, brooding and contemplating the ways of the Force.

Be warned though, for the Dark Side beckons. Any Fatdi who gets seduced by the easier, quicker path to the Force, forever dominate his destiny the Dark Side will. As one embraces the Dark Side, the transformation from a Fatdi to a Sith(Fat to Obese) begins. Be quick to subdue your laziness and greed for food, for they are the paths that lead to the Dark Side.

Good lucks to myself, ella and kee yong! ( haha maybe lixiang too!) and by request, Soh ee.

A happy graduation

2008-10-10T22:02:00.000+08:00

Today was the "last day of school"(ok.. a few days ago, i have been lazy), but apparently it is not. theres still going to be much mock examining, studying in school and the A levels to come. Although i can still see my friends in school, the thought of being not able to talk cock, laugh out loud and other fun stuffs totally affects my mood. It was a joyous occasion, with lots of laughter and the air reeks of happiness. Nobody got emotional and cried! And i was thinking lets see how different i am from the these people... I was disappointed tremendously =(

Had a good time taking photos with friends, they were vital to my survival! but sadly not everyone was there to take a photo with me.. And i had a good mind to get to my kayak juniors and take pictures with them all! Gym and played basketball after taking photos... boring!

Once at the comfort of my very small house( i share a bedroom wif 4 siblings ), I was reminded of my secondary school life. Wondering how different could secondary school and JC life get, I struggled to find a reason for the sorrow in secondary school that continues to haunt me, giving me nightmares( ok just kidding). Im glad those dark days are gone now, happy with the way my life is going.. Its not all that great, but hey, we will learn to be happier with lesser expectations right? (especially with all the problems in the world.. climate change, global economic slowdown, poverty, war =( when can all those things get away? )

Some photos now.. for the sake of brightening up my lousy blog!( ok i tried but canot.. maybe i will try again when i become more computer literate

The adventures of Master Leong and his apprentices

sometimes you just cant help but take a picture with someone smart

thats one of my friends from the nether worlds of the Force, her name is sharon

I think wan pei sucks! because she doesnt open her eyes when she takes photos

I HAVE A BLOG!

2008-10-09T21:33:00.000+08:00
