My arms and legs are aching now. Haha... Yesterday went for my first recre badminton session :D It has been a long long time since I last played badminton. I think the last time I played was during my JC. Then until now its like more than 3 years le! Haha... But my skills still not very rusty yet :P Sill managed to play quite comfortably. :) I really like to play badminton, but too bad there arn't many opportunities for me to play. Although the recre badminton is held once a week, but there is just too many people around. Its seriously over crowded. So its quite hard to play properly. I can only like step one step away from the origin to return the ball, abit further and I risk getting wack by another player at the side. So I think I won't be going that often.

I've also joined the poems stock challenge! Haha... very sad leh... wadever stocks I buy all fall :| Guess I really cannot play the stock market.. Anway, there is a ranking for the Top losers... Hope my name dosen't show up there. Haha... I'm currently around 20 places to getting inside. LOL... which is really close lar.

Oh well... wondering why am I blogging at this time of the day? Well.. I've kind of finished my assignment :D Wee~ Haha... so can slack abit. Today is only thursday. Later going to do some biz law reading then I'm done for the week :D

I think friday is my favourite day. Haha... Morning got LTB meeting, but okay lar, its not that heavy and its actually quite fun. Cos don't really need to use alot of brain power to get things done. After that got MIC! Haha... its kind of like a karaoke club. Quite cool right. Like at the end of the week you just go there, chill out, talk to people, listen to them sing song. Somemore its not very expensive. $10 for a year membership. haha... Its a good way to end a week :) Then after that is the investment club lor. Go there listen to lecture, which is kind of sian lar.... haha... but its still okay, if sian just don't listen lor. No penalties. Haha... Just that I feel abit bad for the speaker lar when he is trying to teach and I just don't listen. :P

So yar, life is great :D But hor, I think its just for now lar. Cos I think I've been taking things very lightly these days. Perhaps after 2 years in the army ar, I think I'm god. Haha... cos there is no test that you can fail in the army. Like everything can just bullshit and pass. But now back to the school environment hor, I still can't get rid of the mentality. So I think I'm gonna get a shock during mid term. After that then I will start to feel the pain. :S Now I'm trying to minimise the possiblilty of that happening lar, so I'll still continue to read. But then, I sometimes I just cannot control the urge to slack. Haha...

K lar, thats all for now... See ya~

Starting tomorrow its already the 4th week of school and things are picking up pace. I can feel the increased workload coming from the various modules. Currently, I'm kind of behind time for my readings as I've been down with flu for the past days. That cost me a lot of valuable time. So yar,I guess this coming week will be quite busy as I need to chiong finish all the readings. I've also have another project coming up soon. So things are really getting busy. Luckily I did not take 5 modules this term, otherwise I will get a shock. Haha... I see my other friends who are taking 5 mods suffering now. I'm not prepared to take on that burden in the very first semester of my uni life. But starting next term, I'll try to take 5 mods.

Anyway, since the start of school. I've been doing all the school stuffs and my litbud.com and driving got neglected. I'm putting my litbud on hold for the time being until my term break. But my driving is the headache one. My membership expires this coming december and I've book my driving test date already. So I don't have much time to complete all my lessons. If I can't complete in time I would have to postpone the driving test and extend my membership. Thats gonna cost me another sum of money....

Oh... I've also been putting on a lot of weight. Haha... my waist line is increasing exponentially. I think I'm going back to my pre army enlistment size liao. All the fats that I lost in army are all coming back. I plan to start running from next week. Hope it can stop my waistline from increasing further or hopefully decrease abit. So yar, please don't rain in the morning next week. Wait till I finish my run and you can rain all you want. Haha...

Thats about all for now lar... See ya~

Hey hey, it has been a long time since I blogged properly. The previous few post are just rumbling about some stuffs.

Life has been good. Schoolwork is still manageable, in fact it is very manageable. I see my other friends like complaining and struggling with work but somehow my work load is quite light. Other than school work. Life in SMU is quite nice too :)

Oh no... I wanted to make this a proper blog entry but somehow I run out of things to write. So sorry.... I think I'll blog again next time ba... See ya...

All is not lost, I managed to get another slot for FTT on the 28th, which is next week. Have to constantly remind myself not to miss it again.

Oh well... first week of school is almost over. Actually its quite over since tuesday because I only have a 2 day week! It really feels good to not have any lessons after that. 2 days passes very fast, so it seems like the week ended just like that. Although I still have to go back to school for projects, the feeling is quite different. Its is very much more casual and relax.

First week of school, everything went on smoothly. It was better than expected. At first I was quite worried for some lessons like comms and biz law. But after the first lesson, it seems quite okay. Biz law is still quite comfusing but I think I can get over it soon.

All in all life is still going good :) Blog another time~

SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed my FTT date!!!!! WAh... HEARTACHE sia!!!! It wasn't easy to get today's date and I MISSED IT!!!!! ARGH!!!! NOW HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG FOR THE NEXT DATE!!!!!!!!!! SIAN!!!! MUST CAMP FOR THE DATES LIAO :| ARGH!!! SO WASTED!!!

Oh no! School is finally starting tomorrow! After more than 2 years of break, I'm going back to study again! Feeling quite worried now. Don't know what to expect on the first day of school. Its a totally new environment and system. Hope I can cope well. First day of school and its already going to be a long day. Last lesson ends at 6.45. By then it would have already passed my usual dinner time. Argh, just hope to get the first week of school over soon. There are so many things to do. Once this week is over, life will be more or less settled. So yar... really hope this week will pass by with any major problems :)

K lar... not really in the mood to blog now... argh... will try to sleep now. Hope tomorrow will be good :) See ya!

Oh no... school is starting next week and there is so much things still unprepared. I've not been able to secure all the textbooks needed for school. At this point of time I've only managed to secure 1 out of 4 textbook needed. And the most worrying thing is that one of the prof emailed us to read up on at least the first chapter before our first lesson. But I don't even have the textbook to start with! So how am I going to prepare for the first lesson? I'm kind of worried about the first lesson. Don't know how will it be like. :S

I went to watch Money No Enough 2, after getting good response from my family and Alan who had watched it. Well, I didn't really find it nice. The whole movie is very draggy. The storyline is very weak. Its almost like a channel 8 drama. There are alot of scenes that just wastes time, and some scenes are a outright advertisement for their sponsors. I know they needed sponsors to help with the budget, but they can at least do it more tactfully. Sometimes it almost seem like a commercial break in the middle of the movie.

They wasted almost half the time in the beginning talking about MLM, which is not much of a interesting topic or rather it is totally boring. Then the next half they try to act pity on the topic of ageing. They tried to make it a touching movie. But, I think they failed. What they did was to make the actor act pityful, but without a solid storyline, they didn't really touch me.

All in all, I think this may be the worst movie that Jack neo has made. Really dissappointing.

Yay! Finally got my laptop fixed. Okay, it wasn't much of a big problem. I just went to school, logged in to the school network and changed a few things. Less than 5 minutes everything was done. But I spend more than 1 hr travelling to school just for that. But okay lar, meet up with EJ and managed to get some help from him. ( for other matters, not the laptop) .

Starting school in less than a week time. I just went to see the course outline and some seminar questions for week 1. Totally tio stunned. I'm so not prepared for school. Anyway, 船到桥头自然直。 So hope everything will be alright after the first week :)

WAH LAU!!! SIBEH DULAN now... I wanted to set up my home connection so that my laptop can access internet through my home computer. End up I signed myself out of the school domain and now I can't set it up without going to school to do it. Argh... So troublesome. Now I have to specially go down to school to do it on monday. I don't want to wait till schools starts cos I already configured my profile on the account. I'm using the administrator account now by the way and everything is not customised for my use. Argh!!! ARGH!!!!! Totally spoil my mood.

Yay! Everything is almost finally over. I've finished my 2 camps and CSP. So now just have to prepare to start school. Just came back from my bondue camp yesterday. The activities are fun. Haha... The first day we already got very very dirty. We got mud+ ketchup+ soy sauce+ flour+ vineger+ toothpaste+ peanut butter+ tobasco+ egg+ banana+ watermelon all over ourselves. Then we also played captains ball with raw chicken. I think thats the most gross part. I didn't play in the chicken match, but I played with raw cuttlefish as the ball. There was really a conflict of feelings when I watch the chicken being tossed around as a ball. It was really hilarious but I kind of felt sad for the chicken. Like it died for us as a food source, and after he died we still play and toss it around. Its like we are still torturing it after its death.

Anyway, after that the activities are more tone down. We went geylang for supper, sentosa to play games and we had a drinking session the last night. Our team didn't drink too much, so we were more or less sober, but we heard alot of stories of those who drank over their limits.

It was quite a nice experience. But I think I should have been more enthu abit and talk more. Somehow I was very quiet. But overall, I still enjoyed the camp.

This would most probably complete my orientation experience. For the past weeks its really having fun all the way. I guess its part of the university experience and I'm glad that I didn't miss out the fun. Haha... And I'm like super tanned now lar. After spending so many days out in the sun.

K lar... will blog again when I'm free. Bye~

Hello. Just finished packing for the camp tmr. Its another 3 days camp. Hope that the activities are fun and the teammates are nice. But from the first looks of it, its kind of disappointing. The turn out for the pre camp dinner was bad. Don't know if they really cannot make it or just don't bother to come. I definately hope its not the latter. Afterall, we all signed up for the camp willingly, its not like FTB where it is compulsory, so I hope that everyone will be more enthu abit.

This time round I'm not feeling as sian as before FTB. Cos I know I'll be staying in school, at least the accomodation is much better. Haha... So now I just hope that the activities and the team members are fun.

Its the final big event for me before school starts . 2 weeks after this would be the start of school already. When school starts, I think the feeling will be quite different. I've been like in the orientation mood for the past weeks. Like just go school and play games. HAha...Its really a long long orientation. So since this is the last major event, I really hope it will turn out great. Haha.. I have high hopes and expectation for this camp,especially after my FTB. Haha... I hope it will be even better than it. So yar, must not dissappoint me okay.

Hmm... k lar.... its gonna be a long day tmr. Think I should get some rest. Bye~

woho! So happy now. Kio tio some good stuffs. Haha...

I logged in to BBDC website hoping to be able to change my Final theory date to an earlier one. Because its very very overdue. I should have completed it eons ago, but because of work I haven't done so. My original date was in sept, but just now I managed to bring it forward to Aug, about 1 month earlier! I'm going for the evaluation tomorrow. Hopefully I can pass, or I should say, I must pass it tomorrow. Otherwise the test date will be void. This something irritating about enrolling in a school. I'm like so so happy now. Because this means that my time line won't be that pack now. I have to complete everything by december otherwise I will need to extend my membership with the school. Pray hard that I can go through this in one shot, afterall its all theory, either I'm right or wrong. Very straight forward, so the chances of passing should be under control.

I've also gotten my school time table today. Well... they only allocated 2 modules for me. -.- That means that I need to bid for 2 more... So troublesome. Anyway, the 2 modules that I got. One has lessons at 8.30 on a monday morning... another has lesson until 6.45 on tuesday evening. Kind of extreme... I dun want to wake up so early on a monday morning, and I don't want to go home so late, not only for tuesday, but everyday. I was hoping that I can make it home for dinner everyday. One thing is that the expenses for eating out is high, especially in town area. Another thing is that I don't like to stay in school until so late. The night is for me to relax, watch TV, surf net... Its my personal time. Oh well, since it was allocated, I guess I will just have to bear with it for this first sem.

Thats all for today... bye~!

Starring has finally drawn to a close. Well, not officially, but the activities are more or less done. Well it was a good experience but things could have been better if there were better planning. The timing was badly planned and resulting in alot of time wasting waiting for events to happen. This is probably the most annoying part of the whole project. Another thing is that I think there are many people who are not totally commited to the project. People are just there to clear their hours. So the people needed alot of pushing to get moving. Thats probably another annoying part.

Anyway, since its all over I wouldn't want to say too much already. Overall, its still a good experience lar.

With that, there is still a final event before everything is more or less settled. Thats the bondue camp I'm going next week. That is my last major and troublesome event before school starts... Haha... hope it will be fun and I get into a good team too, just like FTB :)

Thats about all for now :) Bye~

Hello! I'm back from FTB! Haha... it was alot better than wad I expected. And I really enjoyed it. Initially I had expected it to be similar to YJ orientation at Ubin OBS where we had to stay in the forest and doing all the field cooking and stuffs. But this time round we were at the east coast camp site and the facilities there are quite good. Accommodation was in camp and food was catered. So thats already a huge plus point already. I'm very happy to be in team A14. The people are great. Everyone was really trying to help each other and make this experience a good one. Hope to keep in contact! The activities are also well planned. I think the organizing committee did a fairly good job in keeping the events well paced. Overall, I really had a great time at FTB. Although it very tiring... Haha... I slept like 12 hours when I got home, and my body is aching all over. :P

Tomorrow morning I'm finally going for my first driving practical lesson. It was really a long break since I'm first eligible to start lesson. After my Basic theory, I went working and until now I haven't got time to start my lesson. My PDL is expiring very soon so I had to get it renewed already... I'm hoping that I can finish everything before my membership for school expires in Dec this year. Otherwise it would be another sum of money to get it renewed. Kind of excited. Haha... I'm finally able to drive. I guess the feeling would be quite nice.

Alright, thats about all for today. See ya~

So sian... tmr have to go for FTB. Think they going OBS... Haiz... outfield again.... I'm not really looking forward to the camp. I would love to go for orientation, but I don't want a camp where I have to stay overnight. Whats worst is staying overnight in the wilds... I hate that.

Argh... blog another time ba... not in the mood liao... haha... just wanted to come and complain here... :P Bye~

Wee~ Finally got hold of this book. Its titled 'Should I flush my goldfish down the loo? and other modern morals'. I first saw it at popular bookshop and got interested to read it. So I went to the library to check its availability. I was so happy to see it available at CCK library... but too bad it was on loan at that time. Then today I went back to check and found it :)

I think it would be an interesting read. Been a while since I last read a book. A small quote from the back of the book. ' I returned home to discover that one of my goldfish was very unwell. When my partner came home, he just wanted to flush the poorly goldfish down the lavatory. Having discovered that our views on the sanctity of life are so far apart. Should I leave him? '

Interesting right? Haha... wait till I finish the book and then write a short review for you guys :) For those who are interested, you can go buy the book or borrow it from the library. When I last check there are still like 5 to 6 copies available in other libraries. :)

Just came back from watching The Dark Knight. Nice movie I must say... although I feel kind of confused about the story... Haha... Didn't managed to catch some of their conversation so there are some details that I didn't really understand. But overall the action is quite nice :) Lots of cool moves and explosion. Its a long movie so I think its good to find a cinema with nice chairs to sit on. I watched it at Jurong Point and my butt is aching towards the end of the movie. Oh there is this student promotion now where tickets are only for $6. Which I think is quite a good deal. So you can consider watching it :)

Other than that I also watched Red Cliff the past Sunday. Thats another nice movie. Their army formations reminds me of our NDP. :S Haha...

Today is a break from 2 consecutive days of StarringSMU. It was very tiring... On tuesday we had to go around collecting photos of people for the Pledges for the Nation. Its really hard work. I think its even harder than flag day. Cause for flag day, you hold the can and people will know what you are doing. But for this, we had to explain to them what it is about and so many people are just camera shy. Their faces won't be splashed all over singapore. Just a tiny tiny photo in a col large of 30,000. I think if I were the one being approached, yes at first I would reject them, but after learning what it is about I think I won't mind having my photo taken.

The next day we had to learn some drum rhythm and dance moves. Haha.. that was the most silly and funny part. It was then that I realised what I big wooden block I am and I got some serious psycomotor problems... I totally cannot coordinate my hands and legs and they are so stiff and inflexible. I look so silly when I am dancing... Haha.... I wonder how I am going for the samba walk :S Total embarrassment... haha...

Well, so after 2 days of activity I can finally have my rest until next week for the car wash.
K lar, thats about all for now :) See ya~

Woo... My time table is packed all the way till almost start of school with all the camps and community service. It has been a long time since my time table was this packed. So many things to attend and so many things to do. Luckily I quit my job at the correct time. At first I thought I would have alot of free time quitting it so early, But I guess I'm wrong. Haha... Now I couldn't squeeze in my driving lessons... Argh... my PDL is expiring in August already. I won't be able to complete everything by then so I guess I need to spend another sum of money to get it renewed.

Went for the team building session for community service today. Had quite some fun. It has been a while since I had so much walking around. Haha... My legs are now aching. Although our group wasn't the most enthu around, we still managed to smoke through alot of stations and completed quite a respectable amount of station in the limited time slot. :) Hope for the coming 8 days we can have more fun together :)

Alright think thats about all for today. Won't be writing long entries like while I'm still working. Haha... Now no more time in the office to slack around. I hope they are doing fine back at my previous office. Praying hard that I do not leave too much errors behind otherwise next time also no face to go back and visit them :) Also don't want to spoil my good reputation :P OKay, so I shall blog again... See ya~

Woho~ Finally! Work has ended :D Friday was officially my last day at the company. I had a very nice time at this company, the people are nice and the working environment is homely. I would like to thank my colleagues for taking care of me all this time :) Because I was quite the youngest there so a lot of things I tend to rely on their help :P I would like to especially thank my boss. Although he is more than twice my age, he still calls me brother. He is a really nice guy and took good care of me while I'm there. Time passes very quickly, I've worked there for almost 4 months. Hope all the best for them and someday in the future we might meet again :)

Argh.... tomorrow have to report for work again. Just had a long weekend so the feeling is quite bad. Anyway, this will be my last week at work already. So happy... finally its all going to end soon. Can't wait for friday... I am already imagining how it would be like one friday, the feelings and everything... Haha.. Its almost like ORDing :D

K lar, don't feel very well tonight, think partly because of work tomorrow, and partly because I slept in the afternoon. Will blog another time. Bye~

Hey hey, as promised. This is my latest work! Haha... cute right? You can download the full size version of 1280*720 wallpaper at the following link.

http://t3k-.deviantart.com/art/Dandelion-Bunnies-87915145

Hope you like it :D

I've changed my blog skin to something simple and pleasing to the eye. I guess what matters is the content and not the design of my blog. Haha... okay, the main reason is that I am sick of designing for my blog. :S

Anyway, its still good news for you people that you have a easier time reading :)

Oh.. just an interesting note, I got a little surprise when I saw the archive list. Woho, I've been blogging for 4 years already :D I wonder how long more it will go :)

Alright, I finally decided to blog during office hours. Actually I had written a entry before, but I deleted it away due to the lack of content. But I decided to try again this again because I think that I could write better entries than I do at home. When I'm at home, I don't really feel like sitting long hours in front of the computer to type out entries that don't seem as long. In the office, I'm spending even longer time in front of the computer, so I guess I have more time to think and edit my entry. Its not that I'm slacking during work, but there aren't much I can do without any input. I'm more like a human scanner. I receive pieces of contracts which requires me to seek out the data and compile a report. So after 3 months of working here, I think I'm customized to handle such task. All the bugs and errors in the earlier time are gone, okay not gone cos I still make mistake, lesser. Last time due to the slow processing, when the input comes, I can't output as fast, so work at the input piles up. But now, my output is many times faster than the input, so that leaves me with lots of time to do other stuffs. Like day dreaming... and of course blogging. I guess other than blogging for eh.. blogging... blogging also helps you look busy when you are furiously typing on the keyboard. The tapping and clicking sound of the keys adds to the effect.

I guess you can really see the difference just by the amount of text there already are just on this topic alone, as compared to what I usually type at home. So lets start~

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

After weeks of consideration, I've decided to give up one of my tuition student. I really have no interest in teaching him anymore. He likes to ask very specific questions that is so hard to answer. I am not a encyclopedia, how am I going to remember how many Joules of energy a body has or the circumference of the earth, or the height of mount everest. OKay, maybe I should admit that I am not very knowledgeable, so I guess also that it is better for him to get another teacher. I can't try to smoke myself out every lesson. But by doing so I am cutting off a good source of income. Teaching him is very easy. You don't have to worry about any exams because he studies at a international school and the school haven't even start to teach science yet. So there is really no pressure. Just go there feed him with information and then leave. If I really don't care if he learnt anything every lesson, I can still carry on to 'teach' and continue this income. But I feel that since I am not up to standard to teach him, then I guess it would be best that I leave and let someone better take over. So thats another problem off my mind. This has been bothering me for weeks.

Meanwhile, I will still continue to teach my other pupil. Although this pupil is not as clever, but somehow I still feel motivated to teach him. Perhaps its because he dosen't ask so much irritating questions. Talking about my other tuition kid, he's also another headache. He takes a very long time to get a concept. Really worry about him. Hope he can do well for his CA2, otherwise I also dun have face to continue teaching him.

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

I am recently introduced to this concept that actually, the reason to go green is not because the earth is dying, its actually us, humans that are dying. The earth will never die, when the conditions on earth become uninhabitable, human will all die off, and earth will regenerate itself. millions of years after human dies, the air will become fresh, water will become clean and life thrives again. So earth never dies, what we are afraid of is us dying. So I'm thinking, would it be better if the campaign to go green is targeted at saving ourselves then saving earth. We can maybe show how people are suffering due to the unnatural climate change, how the crops fail, how people are starving, how food prices are increasing. I think that are many more examples of the actual sufferings that we humans face . So yar, lets try to be more environmentally friendly, not for the earth. But for ourselves. Although having said all these, I know I'm still not very friendly to earth. But I can say that I am the friendliest in my family. Haha... Well.. In some instances where it is convenient, I did my part to help :)

------------------------------
Yay... its about time to knock off, well another hour to be exact. But still feel very happy. Haven't been doing much after lunch. Cleared most of my work before lunch, and no new work after it. So been wasting my time away blogging here. K lar, I think I shall end the entry for today here le. Gonna send it to my mail so that I can copy and past it at home :) Of if you haven't know, I'm actually typing this in a text document first before I upload it at home. Can't expect me to log on to blogger and typing away in the office right.. haha... Alright then see you.

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

Today feels kind of weird, I supposed it due to the morning's rush that screwed up my mood. My minds feels kind of giddy and heavy, like its under alcohol influence, but minus the high and happy feeling.

I seemed to have the feeling that I've done alot of work today, which I believe is partly true. The whole of this morning I didn't have any time to day dream. Its one of the busiest morning I had in recent weeks. I hate it when it comes to the end of the month. The trade volume is the highest among the 4 weeks. But luckily due to my relatively superior processing power as compared to when I first came in, I still managed to clear the work way before the deadline. However, that dosen't mean that I am having a easy time. Yes, things are done faster, the effort used is no lesser than before. Anyway, its another 4 more weeks to go, excluding this week and I will finally end my contract. And this time round, it will really be the end, no more extension. The time now is 4.18pm, about 1 hour more before I can go off. Boss is having a discussion with another colleague, so that leaves me with less supervision to do my own stuffs. Even though I think my boss won't really mind me doing so, but I think its still no so nice to do it blatently when he is around. So I still try to act busy when he is around. Haha... Oh one interesting thing to share. Me, my boss and another colleague share this one big cubicle, and we are seated back facing each other. We totally cannot see each other while we are working on the computer. In order to effectively spy on my boss to see if he is looking in my direction. I have tilted my monitor to an angle such that one shiny part of the monitor is actually reflecting what my boss is doing behind. Haha... As the chair he sits on is squeaky, any major movement of his will come with a sound alert. This way I just need to glance at the side of my monitor to effectively keep track of whether my boss is looking at me. Haha...I know this is totally uncalled for, but its always good to know who is looking at you behind your back, furthermore, he's still my boss no matter how nice he is. :P

Alright I really love blogging here, especially when boss is away, I can just continue to type endless lines of text onto the screen and time just pass as fast as the words appear on the screen. It really helps me to kill time.

Oh, on the topic of killing time. I've just realized that I really need alot of free boring time for me to generate ideas. Litbud was conceived during a boring lesson in school. And now, recently I came up with another character :D Its done on a boring afternoon in office. This character will make its debute on Drawing Day! Oh, if you haven't heard, there is this event that aims to create one millions drawings in a day. You can log on to www.drawingday.org for more information. Hope you guys can join in the fun and make some drawings on the day. :D

Alright, I think I'll end here for today :) Spend a good 20 minutes on this entry. :P Although not very long, but at least thats 20 mins off the 'boring' time. Haha... See ya~

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

After weeks of having so much free time on hand, it is automatically assumed that the time is MINE. So when one day someone decides to take it away from you. You feel kind of reluctant. But the time isn't mine to be taken away in the first place. That is what's happening now. The people upstairs ( literally upstairs, they are on the 16th floor, while I am on the 2nd) are complaining that I take too much time to produce the report. In my point of view, it is not me that is slowing down the process. I have so much time on hand, so it is not that I am slow, its those who are creating the input for me to process. So to be exact, they should blame others not me for the long delay. But me, as just a temporary staff, am lazy to go and argue with them or complain to those creating the input to work faster. Its only another 4 more weeks. I just thicken my skin and bash on... 4 more weeks later, none of this will ever concern me forever. Well, I shouldn't say forever, many things can happen and it could make a big round back to haunt me. So yar, in the meanwhile, I'll just use another source of input for my work. A more unreliable one, but heck care, if they want it fast, they will have to comprimise on the quality :)

Alright, can't blog much today, got things to do. Anyway its about time to go home. No tuition for tonight, so can take a good rest :) See ya~

I just uploaded some photos from my phone :) So I decided to picked some out and share it here :D

Durian! Haha... very cute right! It taste just as nice too!

Sunset out of my window

Too bored at work... haha...

Gloomy bear! The hand gripping the doll can actually move. Haha... got a slight shock when I first discovered the function when in the shop. I was expecting it to make a sound, the hand moved instead.


This the the crystal I've been growing for about 2 months :D Nice right? It is made from epsom salt. ie. Magnesium sulpate. You can get the salt from the pharmacy. I've long been fascinated by crystals. During secondary school I took part in the crystal growing competition. At that time I lost very badly, the largest crystal that I grew was smaller than a M&M. So now I finally get the technique right :D

So enjoy the pictures~ :D Bye~

Hmm.. its another sunday night. My legs are aching from all the walking this afternoon. Went out to meet a old classmate. Well, seems like she is doing very well. Starting a business and running it. I am very glad that many of my classmates have big ambitions and are working in successful steps towards it.

Although I have been complaining about work, saying how much I dread going to work, I still extended my contract. :S I guess, the lure of money and the dread of boredom has a greater hold of my mind then my laziness. So, thats means another 6 more weeks of waking up at 6.30am, thinking that I should never had extended the contract. Another 6 weeks of taking the long ride to office. Another six more weekly reports. Another 24 nights of giving tuition with a half dead mind. 6 more weeks. I hope I can survive.

Anyway. I just watched the charity show for the earthquake. Looking at all the footage and the stories, I really felt very sad for them. I was especially touched about this story. Its about the mother shielding her baby from the rubble during the earthquake. The mother died, but the baby survived because the mother's body had cushioned the impact. What really made me felt the sadness was that she typed a message on her handphone and left it with the baby. The message says that, If the baby survives, she wants him/her to know that she loves him/her. I was almost brought to tears when the last line of the message was shown on the screen. I could imagine the scene where during the earthquake. Everything is shaking violently, the mother is down there, over the baby trying to protect it. She knows that she might not survive the event. All she could do was to hope for the survival of the baby. And in that kind circumstances, she still took out her phone to type a very last message. There is no way a baby could read the message, so that action would quite possibly be meaningless. But she still did it, and I guess she probably felt that that is the only thing that she could leave behind for her child, a life and a declaration of love. When the child grow up, s/he would still feel the love of the mother even though she is not longer living.

So I sincerely hope all the best to the victims of the earthquake.

Alright, its almost 11 already. Got to catch some sleep. Its another long day tomorrow. Argh... why did I prolong my suffering?!

Yay... Its May 20th :D Haha... My Birthday :D Yay~

Had a early celebration and cake cutting on saturday with my relatives, so there arn't any celebration today. In fact, it was a normal working day for me with the day ending late with tuition. But I would like to thank all who wished me a happy birthday :) Thanks!

Well... I'm getting old... 21 yrs old already!!! Looking back, I've come a long way since my very first day 21 years ago when I first came to this world. Many things has happened. But still there are many more yet to happen.

HAha... kinda stuck here... Don't know how to continue writing. Oh well... thats all lar. Life goes on. :D Perhaps will blog more another time. Another working day tomorrow, so have to get some rest :) See ya~

Its monday night :) Short week ahead. Hope that this week will pass peacefully without any major mistakes. After which will bring me to the second last week of work already. Am very much looking forward to the end of my contract. I can't continue working there anymore although its a very pleasant environment to work in. The people are nice, boss is nice, the pantry is nice. Work desk is spacious. Aircon is cool. Everything is nice, except for my job scope. I have almost zero aptitude for accounting. I am careless, and most probably care - less as well.. In other words either I make mistake unknowingly, or I couldn't be bothered to make things perfect. I am imperfect. My work is imperfect as well. But there is beauty in imperfection, although that beauty is not appreciated in accounting. So I have been working under tremendous amount of stress in trying to make sure that things turns out alright. It was alright in the beginning as when you are new, you are more easily forgiven. I've been there for 3 months already, the tolerance for mistakes has almost gone down to zero. But it is just me to make mistakes. So in order not to tarnish the good impression they have of myself. I would leave before the expectation soar beyond what I could fulfill. :P

Oh, I celebrated my birthday with my relatives on saturday. Had a BBQ at my home. Would want to thank my parents for organising it. A lot of effort was put in by them to prepare the whole BBQ. :D


Thats about all for tonight. Start of another working week tomorrow. To all those who are also working. The weekend is one day nearer :D Just bear with it! See ya~

Hello... Sunday nite again... Feeling very bloated... Every weekend at home my stomach will be stuff fully with food. Either from my grandma who never feels that I ate enough or from the excessive ordering of food when eating out with my family. But heng ar... today I weight myself... never increase.. haha... although I feel that my waistline had already increased by quite alot. The pants that I bought a year ago when I am still in the army can no longer fit... they are too tight... :S Had to go shopping soon....

Talking about shopping... Had wanted to go shopping for a long time already... But everytime when the weekends come... I just feel lazy to go out. After all the work during the weekday.. I just want to stay at home... do nothing... and then pass the day....

Oh... by the way... I'm thinking of blogging in better english... Haha... cos I realised that my english deteriorated by alot. My grammer is in a total mess... So yar... From the next paragraph onwards... I shall use lesser of 'So yar' '....' and 'haha'.... OKie~ So lets start.

I guess it would be easier for the reader to read too if I write in proper english. Alright, my english is still broken, but at least I tried. :)

Start of another week tomorrow. I've been kind of counting down to the end of my contract. I don't know if it is the job that I'm tired of or the working life. Work wise, I have to admit that it is quite tough because the work requires me to go face to face with my shortcomings. I have a hard time controlling myself to not make any mistakes. It is very tiring and stressful to live under this kind of pressure. I am very lucky to have a boss that is understanding. If not for him I would have been fired long ago.

The coming week would be the first week of my extended contract. 3 more weeks to go after that. I am still considering whether to accept another extension if offered. I really want to stop working, but I can't bear to part with the money. I have many things that I want to buy so its hard to decide whether to give it up or not.

Well, perhaps its still early for me to worry. I might not even be offered another extension. Haha.

Lets talk about other things. Recent excitement about the EPL final few matches had got me interested :D So I decided to join in the fun and place some bets :P I don't watch soccer, its boring, so the only way for me to get some trill from the game would be through soccer betting. But I don't bet much too, just enough to make me interested and join in the excitement :) I placed some bets on some unpopular results. I have this feeling that these kind of big matches, the results always surprises people. So I chose not to follow the crowd and bet on the popular choices. Although the chance of winning may be lower, but its only a small amount. I just take it as paying for some entertainment :) Hope to see some good results tomorrow :D

Okay. Think thats all for today. Have a nice week ahead :D

ANother Sunday nite :) Haha...

Last week was great... having a may day holiday really shorten the week. Haha... But that also means I got lesser time to clear my work. Running a little behind time now. Tmr will be a busy day trying to clear the stuffs. I've also got my contract extended :D Haha... so will be able to continue working for another month. That will bring me to the first week of june le... time passes very fast. If things goes well... I might be offered another extension after june... but I am still considering whether to take it or not cos it will be in July when the contract ends... very close to the start of school le. So yar... might want to relax and do some things that I always wanted to do.

K lar... nothing much to blog about... feeling abit tired... but somehow can't get to sleep... Gonna have a hard time sleeping later cos I took a afternoon nap. It always keeps me awake pass midnight... haha... But okay lar.. coming week I got 2 lesser tuition lessons :) Having a break when the kid finished his exams. :D So should be quite a relaxing week :D

Haven't been feeling well for the past week. Something wrong with my stomach... It feels bloated and I get on and off pain around the upper abdominal area. Hope it gets better by the end of the week otherwise really have to pay the doctor a visit liao.

Duno is it because of the discomfort... I feel very tired. Especially on friday. By friday afternoon.. I was really not in the mood to do anymore work. My mind feels like of pressured and I needed rest. Hope I can recover my energy after this weekend. We shall see about the tomorrow :)

Went out on saturday with the old mec gang to watch the forbidden kingdom. Finally can join their ORD gang le. Haha.. cos last time everytime we meet I'm the only one still stuck in the army. The largest gap between me and the earliest of them to ord is more than 1 year. HAha... Still remember the last time when we meet, we were playing lan games and I had to leave early cos I needed to book in that night.

Well... my review about the forbidden kingdom. The storyline is kind of crappy. I think its because although it look quite serious in the trailer, it actually quite a comedy. Haha... Its some sort of western fantasy idea of chinese kung fu. But I find the fighting scenes really nice. And there is no lack of it throughout the movie. So yar... the storyline aside. Its quite a fun movie to watch... for the comical parts and the fighting scenes.

Tomorrow have to start another week of work. Haha... and Pay day!!!!! Woho~ Well the rest of the company already received their pay check. But cos I'm a temp worker... my pay day is at the end of the month. After weeks of hard work I finally see my reward liao... haha... And I think my boss is going to extend my contract further :) But that is still not confirmed lar. Haha... have to wait till the day of my contract renewal before I can confirm that he will renew my contract.

But I have reasons to be optimistic about it lar. Cos the other day another colleague was asking him about my employment. Then he replied that he wanted me to work perm for him. But too bad I need to further my studies. HAha... so with that I was hoping that he will keep hiring me until my school starts :D

Duno why although work is not hard... but I always dread going back to work. Maybe because it will take away my personal time ba. K lar... thats all for today... bye~

Hello... Been some time since I last blogged. Well... life has more or less stabilized for the past weeks. Although at one point it almost took another change. Haha...

Well... I was first told they would extend my contract for another one month only then I had to leave liao. But recently.. they said they might extend it for another few months. :D Haha... So happy. Cos if they do not extend it anymore... it means that I have to job hunt again. Other than the inconvenience. I might not be able to find another job as nice as this. I really don't mind to continue working there.

I have adapted to working at the place already. It was tough for the first few weeks as there were a lot of things that I do not know. Then I had to spend a lot of effort to go through all the work. But now... I am very comfortable with my job scope. I began to understand the work flow and I no longer had any problems handling it. I even can do the work in a short time and get to slack around when I'm done with it. Colleagues are also nice people... and best of all... my boss is nice. Haha... He could happily make me his god son... haha... So I pray hard that I can continue working there till school starts.

Recently I also start to have more worries about my business.... Its kind of picking up its pace liao. The goods are coming in... and there are alot of things to handle. Its no longer like last time where I could take my time to do things. Things are gaining momentum and I hope this momentum will continue... but... by that... it would also mean that I got more work to do. Haha... Now I'm waiting for the goods to arrive safely in my hand before I take a break and consider the next step to take. Wish me luck :)

My tuition kid is also another headache... Haha... Really duno wad to do with him. Its not that he is stupid leh... he is actually very clever. But that when he does questions. he is very impulsive. He dosen't take time to understand the question before answering it. So he will just anyhow pluck the numbers and randomly use them. Haiz... coming lessons I'm not going to joke with him anymore. He better get good grades for this coming exams....

I can't wait to start school. Can't wait to go back to the time where I only need to worry about exams. To the time where I have my free time to do whatever I want. My working life now isn't hard. But there arn't many personal time left for me. Everyday I wake up... I go to my office... and get stuck there for the rest of the day. Then after work.. I eat my dinner and have a few minutes of personal time to walk around lot 1... after which I need to go give tuition... and by the time everything ends and I reach home. I'm already tired and need to sleep le..... So yar... I wan to start school soon....

K lar... thats about all for now... bye bye~

First of all... to start of this entry... I shall share with you guys a picture :D Haha.. long time since I shared pictures with you guys le.



Muahaha... Was walking around IKEA after dinner with my family just now and saw this cage full of orange crab soft toy! Haha... They look kind of cute all packed into one cage. Then... I had a wonderful inspiration.. haha... and I decided to position a few of them into something interesting. And tada~ I got this... LOL...

I didn't seperate them after I took the picture... Haha... wonder if anyone will notice these little crabs in such scandalous position... Haha...

Oh well... Tmr have to go work again... Sibeh sian... Same feeling as in army... haha... now abit worried leh... next time if I really go out and work... will it be the same as what I am doing now or nt... Duno is it just this company or wad... I think I am not very suited for office work leh... I can't stand the office environment. Like u stay in ur cubicle and work and work... Duno leh... its quite a different experience from the previous sales job I have. Haiz... will see how as time goes by ba...

Tmr start of another busy week. Actually time passes very fast when you are so busy everyday. Like for last week... it was really fast. Duno lar... dun wan to dwell too much on such topics... since will still have to report for work tmr... why do face if with a open mind and hope that things will turn out better :)

See ya~ and hope you enjoyed the picture :D Haha...

Its a sunday afternoon.... warm... quiet... and boring.. Haha..
Bought some stuffs yesterday. Went to rent a HK drama series to watch. Wanted to rip it into my phone and watch on the way to and fro from work. But it seems like not worth the effort. Haha... cos for a 1 hour show.. I need to use almost a equal amount of time to transfer it into my phone. So yar... in order to prepare like 1 episode to watch a day for the week. I need to spend 5 hours at home converting the files.

Anyway... today is the end of the long weekend liao. Kind of sad... tmr have to go start work again liao... No more holidays until may... So sad... But actually okay lar... keeping myself occupied isn't too bad a thing. Starting to adapt to work liao. Just hope that they wun take away my internet connection anytime soon. Cos there is a shortage of cubicles in the office. So maybe in a few weeks time, when new people come in. I might not have a cubicle to myself. I duno how they are going to arrange a place for me. But I just hope that there will be a connection wherever I might be sitted. Haha...without msn I dun think I can survive long. :S

Duno why.. sunday afternoon always seems to be alot warmer then other days. I can just feel the heat radiating from outside my window. The fan dosen't seem to do any good as its just the warm air being circulated round and round the room. My fridge also dun have anything nice and cooling.. haha... Hmm... wait... maybe I go see if I can find anything again.. haha...

K lar... blog another time :) Bye~

Hmm... after 2 weeks of work... things are starting to settle down liao. :)

I found out that if I can knock off on time, then everything will be fine. I'll have time to enjoy my dinner slowly... take a leisure walk around lot 1 before going for my tuition. I was having a hard time during the first week cos my work was behind time so I had to stay back a little bit later to finish it up. So last week things were better as my work starts to clear faster. Also cos I've started to understand the flow of work better so it makes my work easier.

But although my time is not as packed as last week. But I still feel the tiredness. Not physically but mentally. Sitting down there with a bunch of numbers really drains your brain juice. Your mind get so dried up after work that you just want to let it rest and sleep. But then I still have to rush for tuition. So by the end of tuition... my brain is almost totally drained and dead. Then I sleep and the next day the whole draining process continues again.

Well... although I've been complaining about how busy I am, how little time I have for myself. But when I finally got time for myself, I duno what to do. Like today... Haha... my life is really boring. So yar... its not a bad thing to work actually. I just sit there, work a little... at least it keeps me occupied.

The thing that save me from totally giving up on my work is MSN... lol.. Thanks to MSN I can chat with friends while working. Haha... Almost everyday I talk to dong and ler. Dong is working all the way in HK and I still get to chat with him at work everyday. Its nice to do so. Just like for the past 2 years we have been chatting in the sungei gedong medical center. This is how amazing technology is, no matter where you are, with a internet connection. Its feels as if the other person is just next door. Ler is also another one. Haha... doing relief teaching. So yar.. if you take away MSN.. I think I wun be able to survive at work.

Now back on the topic of work.. Hehe... although I tried my best to be careful. But duno why I just won't get things out accurately. I think its just me lar.. I'm not a person into details. I shouldn't be working as in the accounts department in the first place. Haha... But I think I shall just hang on to this job ba. For the past 2 weeks... okay lar... to be honest... I've tried to do the best I could lar... but there are still some numbers that I sweep under the carpet... LOL... I think these things will come out and haunt me again soon. Haha... Hopefully I wun stay long enough for it to come back to me. Also hopefully that wun give me too much work cos I'll end up screwing up their accounts.. lol... But really... sometimes you just get so frustrated that you just want to give up.

OH well... at first I was really feeling guilty about my incompetency. But then recently I got an enlightenment. I should worry so much, cos I'm only doing a temp job. Others are being paid almost thrice my pay... so just let them worry about it. Haha... I just come to work on time. Process anything that comes by and then leave work on time. I think thats my purpose as a temp worker there. To just help them process all the sai kang i.e. manual work. I shouldn't think too much :) haha... Just as long as I have a computer, a internet connection, and MSN... plus I can work at a comfortable pace with enough time to chat online. Then I guess I will have no reason of leaving this job before they want me to leave. Haha.. Not as in they fire me lar... like when they do not need a temp worker to help them process work anymore.

K lar... all in all... still quite okay with my life now. Though its tiring. But it keeps me occupied :) Hope that things will keep changing for the better in days to come :)

Haiz... ORD liao still got the sunday night book in feeling... haha... Quite sad hor...

Well.. although I am out of camp... I still feel the loss of freedom and personal time. Cos I still don't have much personal time for myself. Everyday I wake up I go to work... after work have to rush to give tuition. After that go home already almost 10 liao... take a shower and then sleep le... The next moment I wake up... the whole cycle continue again... So during weekdays I still don't have time for myself. Its only in the weekend where I have time to stone around at home and not do anything. Haiz... just have to endure for 2 months... then see how lo... see if can get a easier job...

Oh well... nothing much lar... bye~

Wah... sibeh sian....

Everyday I get drowned by a tsunami of numbers... LOL... accounting is really not my cup of tea. Haha... really... I realised why my superior is an account... lol... he really like accounting very much...

Today we were sorting out some accounts... then we met with a problem... For me... it was so fustrating cos we need to recheck everything again to make sure that it balanced... I almost wanna just take the laptop and slam it into the wall... But then he... instead of being fustrated.... he was actually excited about it... LOL.... he tells me that he sees it as a mystery and feels motivated to solve it....

I was like -__________- """"

Really... I was suffocating in the sea of numbers... but there he is happily swimming around.

So yar... that makes me realise that I am not build to be an accountant... I never thought accounting would be that tough until I started on this job... :S Wish me good luck man.... still got at least a month before I can get out of this sea of suffering... haha... See ya~

Work is very xiong!!!!! Haha... enjoy while you can in army man.... although its sucky... but its one place you can slack :P

Wee~ ORD LOH~ The day I've been waiting for 2 years is finally here! Haha...

Well... for the past 2 years I've been praying hard for this day to come soon. But then now come to think of it... I will kind of miss army life... Haha... Well.. not to suan those who are still serving... but... really....

The buildings that I live in... the people I see... they are all gone... just like that. When I say bye to the people today... I have no idea when will I be able to see them again. I might not be able to see some people for the rest of my life.

So yar... although its a sucky place... I think you will still get that kind of feeling when you leave a place and change to a new environment.

Oh well... Would like to thank some people who have helped my throughout my army life. I dun think anyone will see it... but then... just want to record this in my blog :)

From BMT... My bunk mates~ Haha... went through lots of shit with them during bmt...

Then medic course.... It was heaven down there... haha... Miss my bunkmates as well... lots of fun partying at night... My spec there also... very nice people....

Finally... In A E TC! Haha... Well... I spend 3/4 of my army life there.... went through alot of things as well... I especially will miss my group of medics! Haha... well... I think its very nice of us to be able to stay so cohesive. Not like some places where there are a lot of internal politics.

Oh well... I have finish the army phase of my life already.... time to move on to greater things... The past 2 years will always be a part of my memory... :)

Feeling damn pissed off now... Can't even ORD in peace... KNN... CCB.... Really...

All because of one person's decision it makes life difficult for so many others... Words can't describe how much I hate him... Its like even torturing him with the world's most deadly torturing technique won't appease my hatred for him.

I think its only in such a organisation like the army that such people can exist and survive. Nobody under him likes him... but he is still able to promote cos the top like him. And the bottom have no means to complain to the top that he sux. Actually this situation may still happen in the other workplace. Whats different is this.

Outside the army... if you are not happy... you can quit... so even if the top likes him... with no one at the bottom to support him.. he won't be able to continue to succeed. But in the army... we can't quit.... we can only suck thumb and follow... so these people dun care... once they get on top of you. They can step on you and make your life suffer, and you have no means to retaliate.

Anyway... there isn't much impact lar... its already the last week for me... that few days is nothing to me.... what is supposed to come will come... Maybe the reason that I feel so angry was because I got quite a shock when the news was broken to me. I had always thought that I will be able to go... so when I was told about it... I just couldn't accept it...

K lar... I had my fair 2 years share of such shit... Its over and done with already... no need to face such person anymore. Coming friday... Total Freedom....

Muahaha... has been quite some time since I last blogged. Having quite a good time out of camp. Haha... Clearing my leave and off...

Well.. next week ORD LOH!!!!!!! haha... I supposed you can tell from the background of my blog how happy I am to be so close to getting out of the army. HAaha.... I thought its about time for my to change the arm looking background to a more livelier one since I am also moving away from army life liao...

As I leave my army life behind... I enter the civilian life... and the problem of deriving income. For the past 2 years I have been happily slacking and getting allowance from SAF... now that the well is almost dry.... I have to dig another one soon.

I have been digging for the past weeks but all effort are futile... Haha... can't get a good paying job. Still got 1 week to go before I ord... have to find a job quick... If really worst come to worst... no choice but to take even the lowest paying job.

Well.. even if I can't get a job.. I wun starve to death as yet... cos I found a little stream that can supply me with crystal clear water. Although little... its good enough to sustain life. Haha... I'm teaching tuition now... A primary 4 kid... Haha... he's a smart kid lar... the problem is he dun take his time to think.... He just see the question and quickly want to solve it so he jump into conclusion very quickly. So yar... I have a hard time trying to make him slow down and pay more attention to the question and not just anyhow answer...

He just finished his exams today... Hope he will make some improvement... I dun wan my stream so dry up so fast ar... haha...

Other than that... litbud.com is also making good progress :D Some of you might have already seen the sample product that I have for it already... Haha... well... I won't upload any pictures yet. I will try to get everything settled then I will put it up on the website. Everything will take another 1 month or so ba... So yar... watch out for it :D

Tonight going back camp... doing clearance tomorrow... haha... if I can finished everything by tomorrow... then next week I dun have to go back anymore other than getting back my pink IC... haha....

So yar.... Will blog more about my ORD feeling after I have ORDed ba... haha...

See YA~

Haiz... sibeh sian.... Haha.... I think every time I bother to blog its because I want to let out all my complains and fustration... HAha... I think negative events are more of a motivation for me to blog than positive events.... Whenever something bad happens... I'll take the effort to pour all the frustration out in my blog.... But when good things happen... I'll just be happy and lazy to blog... haha... so maybe when u read my blog its all about the lousy stuffs in my life...

Like now... I'm gonna complain and lament again~ lol... sian leh... got called back for IPPT.... Argh... can't take my off in peace... Guess its gonna continue until the day I finally ORD.... 1 more month to go!!! Argh... Its gonna be a very long month it this keeps happening.... There is soc this thursday... I hope I wun be called back... if they really do so... I have to be prepared to the worst liao.... I only agree to come back this once ar... anymore than that I will do stunt liao....

Haiz... although I know that its their job to screw us... and our job to evade... but then... I just can't help to feel that they are all fuck up... although everyone is just doing their job...

Really cannot take army life anymore.... Haiz... just have to wait for this very long month to pass....

Sian... spoil my mood for the whole day....

CCB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its time to lament on the pains of booking in again... haiz... after 1 week of being attached out and enjoying life.... its hard to tune myself back to camp... Well... in another 2 weeks time... everything will end... I will be able to start clearing my off and leave all the way till the week of my ORD day...

2 weeks... not a very long time.... by the next time I book out... there will only be one last week left.... But then.... I just can't help but to wish for it to come sooner.... Although it just 2 short little weeks... there are many things happening.... I still have to wake up for 5BX... go for run everyday... and Rt at night.... ARgh... why can't they just let me off...

K lar... enough of the complains... Just hope that this week will pass fast...

Haiz... no mood to blog about other stuffs liao... haha... think those reading my blog... ( if there is any :S haha ) are already bored to death... after reading entries after entries about me complaining... haha... Hmm... hope after ORD life will be better and I'll write more interesting stuffs :) Bye~

Haiz... may not have time to blog later on... so shall take this little opportunity to lament on some stuffs... haha... after arranging, planning and carefully plotting my leave and off... I can finally escape almost the whole of February... so that means that I just need to survive past January... Hmm... and in January I just have 2 most troublesome week that I have to past... that is this coming week and 2 weeks later... These are 2 full weeks that I need to report back to camp... After which... will bring me to the end of January already. So haha... when I think of it this way... its kind of more comforting... The time left seems shorter...

But then... January won't past as fast as I wish it would... Its quite an eventful month where I have quite a few covers and ampt... Well.. ampt is slack... just that I need to spend some effort revising all my work again.

Hmm... today is already the 6th of Jan already.... One week less of Jan... Its a mental torture to have something already so close.. but u can't just reach it yet.

Well... just have to push forward ba....

bye~

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DUN WANT TO BOOK IN!!!!!!!!!
I WAN TO AWOL LIAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol... SIBEH SIAN AR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haiz.... the emotional stress is really killing me.... I am extremely reluctant to book in...

HAIZ...........

Hello! Happy 2008 to all~ Well... haven't been blogging for quite some time... too lazy to do so... haha... actually also nothing much to blog about lar. But then I decided that since its quite an significant event that took place.... well I should at least spend some time to blog and in the meantime do some reflection on it...

Yes~ Its 2008!.... Well... advanced onto the next calender year already. Life is short... Every year brings us a lot closer to the end... At this turn of a year... I'll do some reflection of what has passed in the long year of 2007....

Year 2007... well... an entire year spent in the army... Hmm... just start of this year... I've only just settled down in my unit. With an entire year to go through before I can finally see the light of ORD... Life was hard... but we still hang on... suck thumb... haha...
It was a year of IPPT... SOC... and Outfield... Life really sux... We also went through alot of turbulent times... haha... I guess not many people will get to experience the kind of things that the group of us in my unit does. We went through mergers and separation... the right to own us medics got transferred from one to another.... Haiz....

Oh well... the army days are going to be over soon... Very soon I'll be able to embrace my civilian life~! Haha... really can't wait for that day to come... Hmm... 2007 is quite a boring and mundane year... as with all the other years... haha... okay lar... as in... there arn't any milestones or highlights in the year... Like last time there is my enlistment to mark the year... and the previous year my A levels... But year 2007... it seems just like a year for me to endure and push through my army life... hmm... lets do a check over the events for the past year... haha... this is a good thing about blogging.... I can look back at my archives for things that I may have totally forgotten. My memory really getting very bad... Anyway... here it goes....

A quick look at last year's resolutions.... well... haven't accomplish any one of it... LOL... Kind of pathetic... haha... Hmm... its like 80% of all my blog entries this year is complaining about booking in to camp... haha... K lar... after reading through.... really... there is nothing much about 2007 haha... Guess I'm really just waiting for the year to pass and my army life to end.

So I shall officially declare year 2007 closed.... lol... well... 2007 has been a thing of the past now... Right after 2007 comes 2008! Woho~ This is a year that I've been looking forward and anticipating... This is gonna be a very eventful year! Haha... Two super major events in the year 2008... My ORD... the start of civilian life... and more importantly... start of my Uni life :D Woho~ really can't wait man... Finally I can live the life that I wanted!

2 years of army life really makes u appreciate civilian life a lot more. The kind of freedom that u get.... the kind-of-people-who-will-not-survive-in-the-civilian-world-
and-so-signed-on-and-make-us-suffer will not be there anymore... The air will be fresh and the sun shines bright. Thats the life man....

For 2008... well... nothing much to ask for... just want to stay happy always... haha... Actually... just being happy is actually a lot to ask for... haha... cos everything we do has the common motive to make us happy... so if u pursue happiness in the wrong route... you may end up being even more unhappy. So well... what I wish for is simple happiness. I guess sometimes I demand too much... so this year... I want to learn to be contented with what I have and what I can achieve.


K lar... For now... I'm just looking forward to my ORD... something that I spend 2 years waiting for is finally going to come... I couldn't imagine the kind of joy I would feel on the day of my ORD.... Its gonna be awesome....

Haha... oh well.... life still goes on... later still have to book in... sibeh sian... Just have to endure through this lar.... the end is near... haha....

Okay~ I shall now close this entry... Year 2008... I wish all to be able to spontaneously fulfill your joys.... Haha... a concept from a book that I read... Make our joys spontaneous and abundant :D

Happy 2008!

Haiz... if i am just a little bit richer I wouldn't have to consider so much now and make myself so miserable. I have been trying very hard to build up the litbud business... and for everything that I try to do... I face a common problem... MONEY!!!! If I am rich... I do not have to worry so much....

For now... if I am going to act according to my plan... It would take up almost half of my savings... That is a huge investment... It wasn't easy for me to save up the amount... although the money isn't alot... but the effort that went into the savings is.....

Duno leh.... although I could easily earn back the amount after I ord... I just can't use the money now with ease of mind. Cos without it... my financial status is very vulnerable. If anything major happens and I need the cash... I would be doomed.

So I'm considering whether I should postpone it till when I am more financially stable. But hor... that would be another long wait.... I am considering whether I should just take the plunge and risk it all.... well not that exaggerated as "it all"... but yar... quite a substantial amount lar...

Actually... now considering it.... the probability of something wealth consuming happening during the vulnerable period is quite small... So I guess it would be quite safe to take the risk....

But then I just can't help but to worry lar.... Sian.... Like what I first said.... if I am just a bit richer.... I do not have to worry about such things.... I can just throw in the money and see if it work out... If not... it isn't too much of a loss for me....

Argh... duno lar... gonna take a few days to slowly consider it... dun want to rush into making a decision.... cost the price to pay is high for any mistake...

haha.... sian... tmr have to book in.... got work to do.... argh.... I want to ord!!!! cannot stand army life anymore.... Life is getting from bad to worst in there..... Hope I can successfully endure the next 2 months and get my ass out of there....

Bye~

Its blogging time :) Just went for my dental FFI this morning, then the next 2 days also on off.... A timely break from camp life. Camp life is getting more and more unbearable. With ORD being so round the corner.... u can't help but to wish that it was tmr that you ORD.... The feeling is quite bad... its really like the saying... 'So near yet so far'....

Anyway.... going to start my driving lesson soon... Going down to BBDC to enrol in the course tmr. My initial plan was to wait till I get a student for my tuition before I start my course. Cos by doing so... I can channel the income from my tuition to pay for the lesson. But then... I realise that I do not have time anymore if I want to get my license before school starts. So yar... have to dip into my reserves to fund the course. I want to complete everything before school starts cos I duno how busy the start of uni will be... but at least I have one less thing to worry about.

And yar... think I haven't blogged about it... I've approached tuition agency to help me get students for tuition le... Now I have the time to do it le since I'm soon approaching ORD... my schedule is rather stable and free already. So yar... hope it wun take too long for my first student to come. Cos from what I heard... its the off peak season for the tuition industry... people are enjoying their holidays.... I might have to wait till the peak period which is after their march exams when the parents start to worry about their child's result before I can get any students. I hope it wun take that long... haha... cos I'm also starting to find another source of income already. My NS pay is going to stop soon... so I need to quickly find a tap to keep the water flowing :)

About the business that I've been struggling build... Haha... I think I'll be changing my approach to it.... I'll heed the advice from a book that I've read about how to start a business alone. The main idea is to "do what you do best and let others do the rest".... A brief explanation of the idea... Because you are only skilled in some aspect... when you try to cover everything on your own.... you are using more effort than others to complete the same task. So when you use more effort... the time you have left for the things that you do best will be lesser... so you become less productive. So yar... I've decided that I'll do what I do best... to just think of ideas and new designs. The rest I'll let others do the job... So yar... I'm in the process of contacting a friend to do my website and a manufacturer to do the products instead of making it with clay all by myself. Hope this approach will work :) Cos I've realised that it has been a long time since I've done any creative work... Guess my time and energy had been used inefficiently...

Hmm... thats about all ar... just wanna enjoy my break from camp life :) Bye~

Okay... Long time since I last wrote an entry... As promised... I'll put up some pics from my 2 trips abroad :D

Only got 2 pics to show for the ROC trip... haha... cos the rest all taken in camp... so due to security reasons... cannot show...



Hoho~ I think this will send a lot of hello kitty fanatics crazy... haha.... This is the waiting area in the airport at taiwan :D haha... cool right? Meow~ Meow~ Eh... wait... does hello kitty meow? haha....




Taken during the end of frame dinner :)

Okay... thats all for the taiwan trip... haha... actually there are other photos that can be shown lar... but its all in filbert's camera... then he haven't give me the photos yet... so yar... for now... this is the only 2 :P

Below will be my hong kong trip!




Okay.... first we have a hello kitty waiting area... Now we have a Mickey MTR ( their equivalent of our MRT ) Its used to shuttle u from Disney to another MTR station.



Look~ The handles are also in the shape of the world's favorite rat~



Hmm... I believe this is Belle ( from beauty and the beast ) or maybe... its Cinderella? Haha... No idea :S Someone enlighten me?



This is snow white's castle at night :D Its even nicer when they display the fireworks. Its one thing you cannot miss when u visit Disney... the display of fireworks is really awesome.



Merry go round at disney~ Haha... secretly took the picture with the lady inside it :P



This is the roller coaster at Ocean Park. One of the scariest there... but I think its no kick compared to.....



Me bungee jumping!!!! haha... 61 floors high... 233m above ground. Temperature then 24'C. Wind Speed 7.2kmph/NW Haha... Next stop... Sky diving!!!! but will have to wait till I rich enough first... haha.... heard the cheapest also need about $4K :S



Night scene at macau



Another night scene at macau... Its actually a very pretty place :) Too bad I didn't get to visit the casinos cos its quite hard to travel around... the bus routes are quite messy.



And this is highly recommended for girlfriends who wants to control their guys from wanting too much. haha... or for guys to stop being so horny... :P Anyway... I duno if its really the correct word for a skin condition with a lot of dead skin... but... haha... its just funny.

Okay... thats about all :D Hope to go travelling again... Its so fun! Haha... meanwhile... I'm stuck in camp... sian.... I want to ORD!!!! haha....

Wee~ Just came back from hong kong... HAha... although it was a fun trip but I can't help but to feel abit sad... My longest stunt ended liao... LOL... now in another few hours time I'll have to book in to camp. One whole month out of camp... and now I have to go back and face reality... to continue the super sian camp life.... Haiz....

K lar... must look on the bright side..... Only few more months to ORD :D:D:D haha... can't wait for that man... But sian... this week also long week cos got duty on sat... Just came back only leh... like that stunt me....

Wun be blogging about the hong kong trip yet lar... not in the mood... haha... the mood all drowned by the thought of having to book in later. Next time ba.... But just wanna say that I've accomplished my two aims in hong kong.... Yes~ I did the Bungee Jump!!! haha.... Will tell u more about it the next time I blog... See ya~

Tonight is the last night I'll be spending at home before I embark on another overseas trip :) Haven't really been home for the past weeks... and now I have to go again. Well... not that I'm lamenting... I should be feeling quite happy that I can get out of this routine and mundane life. Haha... just that I have to burn a big hole in my pocket to do so.

Gonna be an enjoyable week ahead in hong kong. But not sure if I'll have more fun than the taiwan trip... haha... Thats the new benchmark leh... Really miss taiwan.... and I hope after this trip I will miss hong kong too :D Haha... cos like the last time I went hong kong... I was only like 12 yrs old... so I have almost no recollection of what I did there... only a few vague memories. HAha... one unforgettable one was the adult channel in the hotel room... LOL... hmm... was a very naughty boy since young... hehe... but what happened that time was really funny... cos I share the hotel room with my grandma... then when I switch to the channel... my grandma took a pillow and block my view :S while she herself continue to watch until the show is over... LOL... luckily it didn't take long or I might suffocate to death... haha... K lar... other than the more adult rated memories.... I only have some other memories of ocean park where I bought alot of seashells :D Haha.... I also bought 2 shells from taiwan too... actually to be exact... one seashell and a sea urchin . Wahaha.... that adds on to my extensive collection of shells :D I have like almost every kind of shell u can find on the market. So now when I go into shops that sells sea shells... I'm like... I have this one already... I have that too... eh... there's nothing that I don't have... LOL... Maybe I can start a museum for sea shells :D haha...

Hmm... so this trip to hong kong... I have 2 main aims... haha... no no... no more adult channel... LOL.. although I had a great time watching it with dong and filbert until 3am in the morning... HAha... its more like a comedy than porn.... Had a great laugh.... OKOK... anyway... back to the main topic... yar... have 2 aims.... First one to go Bungee Jumping of Macau Tower!!!! Woho~ Had always wanted to bungee jump.... But say only lar... go there later legs turn jelly then cannot jump... LOL... But anyway... I'm like 70% going for it already lar... Hope to come back with good news :D Haha... Its the world's tallest commercial bungee jump... height of 233m.... that is about 60 storey high.... Scary sia... HAha... but if I really succeed... the scarier part would be another big hole in my pocket :S It cost like HKD 1088 for a jump... so its S$200+ !!! Haha... well... I'll only be going macau on the last day of the trip... so if I return without attempting that... perhaps one reason would be I run out of money... haha....

Hmm... the second aim would be to go shen zhen to buy pirated goods :D Haha.... Wanted to buy a rado watch... duno if they have it there.... If not I'll just get any nice watch there :) And perhaps anything else that catches my eye :)

K lar... thats about all for this trip :) Hope I'll be a memorable one :D Next pending overseas trip would be the taiwan ORD trip coming march :D HAha... still pending lar.. subjected to changes.

Today also met up with the K box remedial training group... LOL.... Its a group started by my upper study to get together and train our singing... haha... but I think after so long we still sing like crap.... Anyway... its more like a periodical gathering for us lar... like everytime after some event we will organise a get together... this time is because of our return from ROC :) Anyway.... main point is that I got some updates from them about the happenings in camp....

One very annoying news is that I have to take part in the AMPT next year... btw... AMPT stands for annual medic proficiency test... an annual exam that all of us have to take... Anyway... the problem is... Why they set the cut off point for those who are not required to take the test ONE WEEK BEFORE I ORD!!!!! Its like if I ORD ONE WEEK earlier I wouldn't have to take the test!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'( Sob sob.... Bully me sia....

Anyway... camp life seems to be getting more '''''''''''''exciting''''''''''''' ( with lots of inverted commas) haha.... Argh... I just wanna ORD... ORD~ ORD~ ORD~ lol.... Already in ORD mood liao lar...

When I go back I will start clearing all the shit I've piled up.... then I can start handing over to my under study liao :) HAha... then I can switch to the ORD mode :D But then I wun be so fuck up as to throw everything behind and rot till I ORD lar.... Haha... I got a good upper study that I came to respect cos he worked till the very end.... SO yar... I must continue this practice :) Although I dun really want to do so... but haha.... at least I wun feel guilty :D

K lar... this entry is really getting long... duno why... In a good chatty mood tonight :D See ya soon :) Bye~

Another rather sian day... still being bothered about work and not returning to camp. Haha... staying away from camp for such a long period of time makes me feel uneasy. Can't help but to worry. Duno what I'm worried about.... its not as if my unit can't function without me. HAha.... perhaps its the thought that I will still have to return one day that is bothering me. If I've already ORDed.... I wouldn't have to care... Think its because I know that I'll one day need to go back to pick up the shit I left behind... and in my absence... the shit might duplicate itself into a gigantic pile that would fall and crush on me upon my return.

Argh... heck care lar... I'll just have to make myself think that its alright to behave fuck up once in a while... and its alright to have that big pile of shit crushing on me. I wouldn't die from that.... ( hope so ) ... haha.... k lar... its not that I dun want to go back and clear the shit. Its just that I've no chance to do it... I promise that I will do it the first thing I get back okay... so please wait for me and remain as a small little pile k? ... I'll be very thankful for that.

K lar... hope that the next few days will be busier and I'll occupy my mind with other things. And soon I'll be back to clear the shit... must wait for me okay! haha....

Hmm... wonder if u watch the TV drama showing at 7pm on channel 8.... If u have... then u should know Fang Wen... JianYi new girlfriend.... Woho~ I totally love wat she did in today's episode. Steady sia... haha.... For those who didn't catch the show... I give u a very brief introduction.

FangWen is JianYi girlfriend, but JianYi was already married before and have a child (FangWen didn't know that at first)... but they broke up and his wife ran away many years ago.... so FangWen is a new girl he's dating after his wife left with the son. Then suddenly one day the wife came back with the son and want to get back together.

So yar... when fangwen knew about it... what she did really earn my admiration. HAha... Instead of like breaking up with JianYi... she said.... Lets not get married now... but lets also not break up... I'll give you time to settle things... Wah... Perhaps you won't get the feeling from reading my text... but... if u have watched it... the scene is very beautiful and touching....

How nice to have a girlfriend like her who is so understanding.... like normal girls would just get angry and make a big fuss without giving you a chance to explain... Yet she is so calm and understanding.... This is a beauty beyond her looks... Haha... she is already pretty already... but her response to the problem made her even more beautiful....

:D Hope my future girlfriend and wife will be like that too.... :)


K lar... thats all for today... bye~

Woho~ Back from taiwan! Haha... Really miss that place. Dun feel like coming back. Had a really great time there, especially during the R&R time.

The training period was tough, although initially it felt quite cool as the weather was nice and everything was new and fresh. But then as time goes by, the initial excitement fades and life gets harder. Perhaps it's just me that is not accustomed to being outfield for a long period of time. Since after BMT, there were only a few long outfield that I had. So yar... this 2 weeks of continuous outfield is really quite tough for me. Halfway through it I already almost cannot take it already. The late night training.... sleeping in a cramp space behind the rover. There were some occasions that I thought to myself, why am I torturing myself to volunteer for this trip. It was then that I realised that its not that easy doing work here. haha... cos from what I've heard from the other guys who went and came back, its all the good stuff about the fun they had there. So I never thought that it would be this tough.

But when all the training is over, we had a really good time. It makes all the hardship that I've been through all worth it. The food, the people, and the weather all makes me want to go back again. There is no problem with communication or getting around. It was also great fun with filbert and dong around... haha... the jokes we had... and the channel 15 that we watched till 3am in the morning are all unforgettable memories that we shared.

Really looking forward to my ORD trip back to taiwan with dong and alan... too bad filbert can't go cos he haven't ord! LOL... haha... k lar... ur turn will come soon.

Talking about ORD... WOHO!!!! Its really near liao :D Those enlisted one batch before me already ORDed... so the next in line is me liao :D:D:D:D Haha.. can't wait for the day to come.

After 3 weeks of packed and exciting lifestyle, a sudden changed in it for the past few days has left me feeling quite lost. Cos its like for the past 3 weeks, everyday is busy and packed with activities, now that I am back to my usual lifestyle of having no specific events in a day... I feel kind of lost. Not only that, its back to the same environment that I've seen for like the past 20 years of my life... So there's only 1 word to describe it... sian...

Another thing has also been bothering me for the past days. Its a work that I've delayed for some time. I can't do anything about it since I won't be going back camp for the next week... but then I can't stop worrying about it. This sense of responsibility for my work is killing me. I duno how some people can just be so irresponsible and not worry about their work.... I've tried to sometimes be irresponsible too... but my guilt is killing me. I am really very tired from trying to be a good and responsible person. It takes lots of hardwork and commitment. But then I can't help but to feel guilty. Haiz... really duno what to do sia. Help me! Please brainwash me to think that its okay to be irresponsible sometimes.

Argh... K lar.. nothing much liao... I'll be uploading the photos on the trip once I finish collecting the photos from dong and filbert's camera. Bye~

This time tomorrow I would be on the way to the airport already. Another episode in my army life is going to unfold soon. What I'm feeling now is a mix of anticipation, anxiousness, worries and a little bit of fear. Although its gonna be a great experience ahead, but I just can't keep out the negative feelings. Perhaps its just me who worries too much. I can adapt to changes, but I dislike changes. Every time during the eve of the change I would feel uneasy... I don't like the feeling of uncertainty. Although I may not micro manage my life which leaves it open to a little uncertainty, I do macro manage it. Therefore the uncertainty I have is still contained and under control.

Argh... not really in the mood to blog now... hope to share the fun experience I have when I come back :) See ya~

Today may be the last time this month that I'll be able to sit down here and concentrate on typing a nice long blog entry. I'll be leaving for taiwan for 3 weeks starting next sunday. Been feeling very anxious and abit worried these few days. It'll be my longest stay abroad till today... my previous record was only a 2 week stay during my immersion program. Somemore this is not a luxury trip. Its gonna be a hard time having to go outfield for 3 continuous weeks. So yar... can't help but to feel this way. I never thought I'll ever miss home when I'm abroad. But maybe for the first time I will.

Things are more or less packed for the trip. Actually there aren't much to pack. Just some toiletries and clothing. Maybe that one of the reason that is causing the uneasiness. By right there should be lots of things to bring along for such a long trip, so I kind of have this feeling that I've missed out some things.

Well... although feeling nervous and anxious about this trip. It has been a trip that I've wished for a long time. From the time I stepped into my unit. I've been hoping for a chance to go abroad with the armed forces. The first trip that came my way was to india. But then as I've not passed my IPPT I wasn't allowed to go. Although I missed that chance I wasn't much disappointed as that wasn't really that good a place to go to... haha... Then there was the taiwan trip, which I missed the opportunity when I didn't again pass my IPPT. So after that trip, I've set my mind to pass it so as to qualify for this trip. Then again I still didn't pass my IPPT. But this time round, with a stroke of luck, my RSM gave his approval of the trip despite me not having pass my IPPT. So here I am, set for the taiwan trip. But then, I still hope that I'll be able to pass my IPPT when I come back, part of it to show that they didn't have any mistake sending me there without me passing the test. So yar... I'll try to do some self training with my time there and hopefully see some good results when I come back :)

It will be a significant event in my army life. From the feedback of the people who went, you get to experience many things there and I look forward to experiencing it myself. Army life starts to get mundane after all the events at the start of it. First 3 months was busy in BMT, next 3 enjoying in medic course. After which I was posted out to my unit. Life there was fun initially... but it gradually gets boring after spending close to a year in it. Another thing that makes me want to leave this place is also the people and their policies, this, which I'll talk about in the next part of my blog entry. So yar... its time for me to add something more interesting to my army journey.

Although I may be away from the luxuries of having a computer to blog about my thoughts, the blogging effort doesn't stop. Back to the primitive method, I'll be writing my entries with pen and paper and I'll type it in when I come back :)


Yup... now I shall continue to talk about how people have changed, together with their policies too. We serve 2 years of our active army life and the leave to continue our civilian life is our short little life span. And thus so, the army experience a cyclical renewal of personals every 2 years. When I first came into my unit, the familiar faces that were around are now gone. with less that 4 months before I leave, almost all of the people that I saw when I first came in have gone to pick up their civilian lives from where they left off to serve.

And with recent unfortunate change of events. I say unfortunate because in my point of view, the changes are bad. Changes should be made for the better, but from what I see its not the way. I believe many, if not all, have heard about the recent case of Dave Teo. One person's mistake had caused such widespread damage. Because of him, the already hard life is gonna get even harder. I won't be playing the blame game and start blaming him for committing such a foolish act or the higher authority for raising the level of security. Because I believe that such abnormality will always happen. Perhaps its not even considered as a abnormality, it may be part of a even bigger and complex theory that will plot out the abnormality as something predictable. Haha... before it gets too confusing.. lets move on. Anyway, what I mean is that I submit to the fate that there will always be such weird people doing weird things. So things that will happen, will happen eventually. It's just my luck that it has to happen during my span of service.

Another event that I consider to be much unfortunate would be the change of CO. I believe that maybe its not the person's fault that makes him implement lousy ideas. Its the system's fault. It seems that in today's system, it is a requirement for a new appointment holder to implement a new policy, no matter its feasibility. It is just like the USMS system where suggestions are being forcefully squeezed out of us. I strongly believe that there is something terribly wrong about this system. Changes should be made out of our own initiative to make things better. So if things are going on fine there is no need to make any changes. By making unreasonable changes so as to please the top that one is doing work, you are making those people below suffer for no good reason. Especially in the army context where the people below have nothing to defend themselves.


Hmm... so yar... with all the changes that are happening... I'm glad that I'm able to take a 3 weeks break in taiwan.

K lar... thats all for now ba... I believe I still have the time for a few more entries before I fly off. Bye~ :)
