This morning woke up in the lowest mood, tired and drowning in my bed.. Haha..

I was thinking if the puppy, peacocks and selfish pig is to step on my tail, I am going to rip their legs of. As I am a angry T-Rex today!!

High class taxi

2009-03-06T00:19:00.002+08:00

As one of the many patrons of taxis, there is always not much of complains from me, but tonight's scene made me felt disgusted and never take a taxi again.

Taxi drivers always complains a lot claiming that they are earning not enough and some even go to the higher authority to seek help, I think it's not wrong to say taxi drivers had a hard time earning, but it's definitely not totally wrong to say they are not trying hard enough.

The time then was 11pm. I can't get a cab because of the heavy rain, none of the companies are able to take the order for a cab due to high call in, for that point I can understand. But what we saw was available taxi refused to be hired.

Some how or rather, they waited for an hour more to midnight till it's time for their extra charges. This is crazy. How I know this? I've been on a cab and asked a cab driver myself! I am certainly not impress of the driver's attitude towards this timing. If they are not available, a button called BUSY is invented for them to use. What for having the available lights on and drove pass Taxi Stand.

Maybe a taxi driver's regulation should include stating if they are not for hired, it's a MUST to to put a BUSY light and for those who put AVAILABLE but refused to ferry passengers, a fine will be awarded.

But there are still some cabbies that are kind, good and hardworking.

我问我自己该用什么方法来面对爱情的变化
看着你沉默不说话我的心像被针扎了一下
我想你一定有你的想法你不用急着现在就回答
哪一个他让你挣扎别告诉我你爱上他
都怪我给你太多自由
才让他有机可趁牵了你的手
都怪我不懂得女人要的快乐
才会让你陷入痛苦抉择

I love this rap!!! I duno what the word means because I am too lazy to understand it. Hahaha.. but it’s nice to listen.

Marriage

2009-03-04T23:22:00.001+08:00

Been thinking of marriage today. It's always good to settle down.

But money is an important issue, my mother and dad says a simple tea reception will do, because can't earn back what I given out from the hongbaos.. Haha.. Hope her side agrees and then prepare.. Haha..

My confidence level is high, but not high enough to what JB have. Don't screw this JB as Johor Bahru - the yucky... But it's James Bond I am talking about. I see the way he talk, the move he makes is actually very slow. Why he talk slow is because Daniel Craig make this character think, think thoroughly in an absolutely short time and i love it.

I had the show for 2 years, but i just finished watching it just now.

N.K

2009-03-01T16:43:00.002+08:00

What is wrong with them? Shooting a missile which can be shot to US and you threaten US that they are arrogant to find or spy near borders? HELLO? NO ONE ASK YOU TO BUILD ANYTHING NEAR BORDER! Pig BRAIN!

I hope all country are ready, when NK is to shoot that, I think all countries should should one missile each into their territory. They are more like the history of Japan. Damn. stop them, stop war.

I will not be surprise if Osama is hiding there.

How do i fare?

2009-02-28T22:50:00.001+08:00

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Am I better

2009-02-28T22:10:00.005+08:00

Well, I do feel I'm better than others. I am talking about those younger than me. What they do, how they talk, what they wear.

I just feel that way, maybe as I grew, matured mind makes me feel disgusted.

I'm so stress, so stress and at this moment my train just reach potong pasir. 好累好累。好想睡很久很久。

0846... On train... Still in Hougang..

2009-02-28T22:10:00.003+08:00

Very well, my brain let go suddenly and it stopped last night and I slept like no tomorrow till I was woken by 3 alarms and 1 msg from my girlfriend. Heading to school. So tired, lethargic, strengthless, 累!!

2128

2009-02-28T22:10:00.001+08:00

Now on train heading back home..

Had a surprised today as my girlfriend said that Grace is my type of girl as I don't scrutinize her like the rest.

I pondered to myself awhile and realized yeah. But that doesn't mean I like her. Don't worry, if she come close, she will falls under friend category. Remembered what I said before, dear!! Hehe..

Watched a movie, duno what not into you. That's a great show. But I dun think that applies to Singapore culture. It somehow is still a wolf for a lamb theory than a lamb for a wolf. So I think the theory there is a reverse of what Singaporean guys will get from a typical materialistic Singapore girl.

By the way, the reason why I don't and would not have a hot friend like scarlett is that I think they are, vase, hooker or a blonde. Call it stereotyping as you may, but it's the truth in my world of perception.

Some media class girls who dressed like barbie doll or a street stander, that's a hore! Sorry and I apologize to this discrimination. It's true that girls like to doll up. But is it a 100% reason because you like it? Without thoughts of meeting hunks and want the temporary limelight all on u? Stop lying...

One more thing! What disgusted me is this puppy being enthusiastic on chatting with them. So Low!!! I can even hear your moaning for your first "oosshhh." Guys have to go so low, might as well suck my dick.

Most local women are moving up. Although I like a girl on top but NO! This has got to stop. Guys growing to a more mature age will soon see poodles coming to u. And your patience will eventually pays off.

My thoughts came after my army days. And I hope friends should stop it! Cold should the girls.. Haha..

Pain

2009-02-27T23:40:00.001+08:00

Why must i bother, why am i the only one questioning the future. Why is my brother not? He is the elder and he is playing with my psp like nothing is going on. He is a distinction student. He earn more. Just hope if crisis starts, he can give more.

Troubled World, Trouble us

2009-02-27T22:57:00.003+08:00

I don't know whether my brother cares but our family sort of dangled in a financial crisis. Of cos I am glad that this financial crisis comes after I am able to work and earn money for my family, but over the years, the high cost of living for us seems to put us into quite a deep trouble. My mother is still giving me a lot of positive answers on the family's future.

In the past I think I would earn enough for a family or sufficient for a family. But because of Singapore's over ambitious plans made a moderate-earning family crashed right into crisis due to the high cost of living. The plans are good, but i think we acted too fast and if we are still in a more slow and steady plan, the crisis may not hit Singapore that big. Now, I guess we have to due with it.

I think I am earning a lot as compared to the other diploma graduate after my 2 years of NS. However, it's still not enough for my family. I placed pressure on my shoulders because I love my family and want to shield them, giving them a constant comfortable living even though of financial crisis.

If i can and time allows, i can even try to make more money working on 2 jobs and study. I know it's tiring and maybe my relationship will crack, but just hope for the best.

So stress... really stress...

Pop princess-hell-Pop Queen

2009-02-27T14:33:00.001+08:00

Through my years in secondary school, she have always been pop icon for all teenagers because of her cute, sweet looking face or voice.

Gradually, a sweet 16 girl then changed. It's like a nightmare or a dream she woke up by herself.

Everyday controlled, everyday busy. In the past, I never knew she would find out what it's like to be normal. I don't think time for barbie was even allow, but eventually she did.

Got married, went into depression, back. True enough, some Hollywood stars faced it and been through it too. But I can tell her fame was built so great from the start of her career that it lasts very long even till now.

Watched interviews with her and her every interview were answering the same questions with a common question.

I remembered her telling everybody she was angry and frustrated with a smile. Everyone were saying you are not, you are smiling and she replied that's because I have to.

She replied during her interview that she don't have a real friend to talk to. She teared. When asked what she hope from the paparazzi and fans, she teared saying,"I hope everyone would treat me like they are."

In the matter of fact, I don't think she will. Maybe when wringles covered her face and that's when.

But she is still working hard. Good luck Britney.

Nani?

Quarrel

2009-02-26T23:13:00.007+08:00

Our official first quarrel went deep because of Weihong. I can't put words right when I am trying to explain during a quarrel all because of weihong. But I hope my girlfriend forgave me through my actions and sincerity.

Sorry baby~

Joel

2009-02-26T23:13:00.005+08:00

Surprised to see your name in my blog title?

You poor thing man. Saw your blog and asked around. Conclusion Baby is the worst. So lucky you've been with a better one right?

I am always a phone call away man.

Truthfully, I think it is like a reminder to you that Singaporean ladies are more worthy!! Wahahaha!! Go get them! Don't find overseas weirdos!! Although xx is the same nationality as it, you are still with the Republic of Singapore!! Forging ahead!!

Come out soon and let's drink!!! Not too much, just a jug or two.. Hahaha.. Nice place to intro you to drink and sing.

Azhar 1 San 0

2009-02-26T23:13:00.003+08:00

Today I am really lethargic and strengthless. Got to meet my girlfriend for lessons today. Bit the lesson killed my night further and deeper. My boredom wound was cut and dug deeper in till bones were noticeable.

Don't get me wrong, San is a good teacher, not a lecturer (teacher=elementary school). That's quite bad to hear isn't it. I don't really look forward to Saturday and Sunday other than seeing my girlfriend.

God!! A chi-na girl now sitting beside me in this NEL train drink a can of calamansi. How can that be allowed? So ignorant. But I'm too tired to say.

Half the battle lost

2009-02-26T23:13:00.001+08:00

In the previous post that I have I think I've explained about my state now.

When friends asked me whether I'm ok, I want to say no, but I can't. Everything in me is controlled. I want to see a shrink on whether I really have a split personality or it's a wannabe thing.

Sometimes I cry in my bed for fuck, I have no idea. Death did crossed my mind yet again. Even typing this makes me teary and scared.

Sometimes I did see life is a dead end with no positivity in it, only think it as born to died.

Nonetheless, it's still something I will keep fighting until I see my gone friends waving to me.

A 3rd party experience

2009-02-26T12:13:00.001+08:00

Come to think of that time when I am a 3 party in a relationship really excites me and make me wonder, damn, i should have enjoyed it to higher level.

At the age of 15, I did not know anything about sex or give a lady her sexual pleasure, but if i can turn back time, i can give her hell of a great time. Haha..

Being a 3rd party excites me most I think is the sexual part. Touching, kissing, doing things to the lady that the body and status belongs to someone else. Hahaha.. scary right?

Anger Management

2009-02-25T20:35:00.003+08:00

I don't think I need this but the garmen will sure want me in on it in the future.

It's the matter of time that I will be arrested for hurting someone or Tom Cruise will arrest me.

My anger which I thought have simmered down seems otherwise. It's building along with weihong2 in me.

Deep down in me, I am scared and I want to kill him myself once and for all. I have no idea how to so it but I'll think about it.

My anger was dragged from my secondary school days as described in some blog posts before. So to put an end is extremely difficult.

I'll try but my girlfriend will suffer for now. Sorry.

Why date Hamilton where there's me?

2009-02-25T20:35:00.001+08:00

Here comes another egoistic post by not so egoistic guy.

Ultimately I know why some girls are attracted to me. It's because of my words, my status and a hot prospect for tomorrow world.

My words - as good as how I describe in any written stories or my skills in making words sing, this is a killer which will kill me. I joke in a way that people thinks that I flirted with them which I have completely no idea of. So a warning to heed is,, when I am in a relationship I dun flirt!!!

Status - attached is what my status is now and that is increasingly appeal to most girls as a challenge or they know my dick is long. So!!! Dun waste your time on me, go to Hamilton.

Hot prospect - because of my ever-learning spirit, I will most likely earn big in the future but, that doesn't mean I am going to let my wife be 太太.

You might have guessed it, my title is sarcastic. Why date Hamilton when there is me? Please date Ted Hamilton!!!

Newspaper, read all about it

2009-02-25T13:13:00.001+08:00

This is such a pain. I’ve resolved my own issue for the public to downloading news into my Ipod Touch so that I do not have to open a big piece of newspaper in a crowded train in the morning, but I’ve failed to realize Singaporeans have brains to student but left their 5 senses at home. There will always be people open up their newspaper like they own that space. I know I shouldn’t say this, but FUCK YOU!

Praise my girlfriend

2009-02-24T11:28:00.001+08:00

I find that my girlfriend is a hardworking girl. She's a lovely family girl. She will take initiative to do things and help. This is what i feel. Keep it up! Hahahaha..

No love, with condom

2009-02-24T09:05:00.001+08:00

Yesterday night, I was watching with my mum a show talking about their Taiwan pregnancy problem - young mom.

The problem seems to be facing Singapore currently but the difference is ours get money! Alright, jokes aside.

Those who've been to Taiwan should know the streets is crowded with cars, human and scooters. This should discourage indecent act executed boldly. But they did say it happens all the time.

One example she put out was she saw a famous boys school student and girls school student have sex standing in the alley in between their school. (hell, I did it in school).

The point put out was different in singapore as we are still in the stage of, "you don't let me fuck you, you don't love me." Theirs were if you love me, let's do without condom.

Children in Singapore, sex is legal over the age of 18. So remember this love is from your mind (research shown) not body!!

Failed root canal treatment

2009-02-23T21:32:00.003+08:00

My root canal treatment was delayed and I nearly sleep!

And so I entered, did all injection, dragging, X-ray, pulling and screwing. I asked her, it's done? She said nope, it's too complicated. Must consult other doctor. Well, I guess i've to wait for 3rd Mar!

Currently on train, this fat ass girl lying on the handle and she is enjoying grinding my bag I think. Horny girl!

Nice show

2009-02-23T21:32:00.001+08:00

I've no idea what title of the show is and it's a great show.

It's about a porridge girl and a school teacher both seeking the other half. And within that 90 mins, it shows the test of faithfulness.

Some great phrases I've heard and it's inspiring and good to know..

1) what happens when you have a blister? What will you do. (tell me and I tell u!)

2) anyone that earned the right clean, dry, trim the hair of my parents is not a maid, it's me.

But the thing I thought that it can improve on is the guy should not be a school teacher. It's common and nothing impressive for him to not want a porridge girl.

And also the girls with her were incredibly pretty, they are hawkers too. But I think finding some average looking girls for the act would have better effect. They have to act desperate when they can have any one.

Overall, it's a great show.

what happens when dumb meet the dumbest?

Dumb fly or not

2009-02-22T22:34:00.001+08:00

When me and my girlfriend are out, there are always fly around. I can guarantee we bathe and smell super super nice yet they just keep appearing.

We can only tell ourselves maybe because of our delicious food but I turn to the myths and legend tale of devil.

It was said that flies were linked with devils presence. Both of our lives seems to have crossed path with it, which makes absolute sense due to our past experiences.

I just hope I can keep a strong faith, a faith to overcome it.

Devil vs Angel

2009-02-21T21:50:00.001+08:00

A huge piece of cloud covers me and minimize my ability to be kind to everyone.

I believe there is a demon and angel that lives in everyone. They are often woken by thoughts, good for the angel, bad for the devil. When it comes to decision making, it's for the human to listen.

I often listen to the devil and ignore the angel because that's the way I can be myself and take a day off treating everyone kindly.

Believe it a not, as I am typing this on the train, my music changed to HOSSANA. My faith in god is still weak but I have not given up and deny him.

But my anger which I believed to be the other weihong that once dwell in me is back.. I've fought him away once, maybe it's because of my ignorant all the years, he found his way back.

He feasts on my anger and build a dome to make him stronger.

Trusts me, it's not an excuse pushed to an imaginary foe. It's real but to others who are ignorant about his presence may be thinking I am bonkers.

I've always been fighting my internal battle. It hurts a lot now that I have my girlfriend and Faith in God, I guessed I will moved into battle.

My parents are too old to take a second blow.

Show me the way, O' Lord. Save me...

How to use the Callus Plaster

2009-02-20T14:12:00.001+08:00

Below is just for my personal information.

For products formulated in a plaster (FDA 1990):

Wash affected area and dry thoroughly.
Cut plaster to fit corn/callus (if appropriate).
Apply medicated plaster.
After 2 days remove the medicated plaster.
Repeat this procedure every 2 days as needed (until corn/callus is removed) for up to 14 days.
Optional: To assist in removal of the corn/callus, at the end of the treatment period soak in warm water for 5 minutes.

For products formulated in a collodion-like solution (FDA 1990):

Wash affected area and dry thoroughly.
With applicator/brush, apply a small amount to sufficiently cover each corn/callus. Let dry.
Repeat this procedure once or twice daily as needed (until corn/callus is removed) for up to 14 days.
Optional: To assist in removal of the corn/callus, at the end of the treatment period soak in warm water for 5 minutes.

Duration of use: Use for up to 14 days (FDA 1990).

What are warts and verrucas?

Warts are small rough lumps on the skin. They are caused by a virus (human papilloma virus) which causes a reaction in the skin. Warts can occur anywhere on the body but occur most commonly on hands and feet. They range in size from 1mm to over 1cm. Sometimes only one or two warts develop. Sometimes several occur in the same area of skin. The shape and size of warts vary, and they are sometimes classed by how they look. For example: 'common warts', 'plane (flat) warts', 'filiform (finger-like) warts', 'mosaic warts', etc.
Verrucas are warts that occur on the soles of the feet. They are the same as warts on any other part of the body. However, they may look flatter as they tend to get 'trodden in'.

Note: anal and genital warts are different and are dealt with in a separate leaflet.

Who gets warts and verrucas and are they harmful?

Most people develop one or more warts at some time in their life, usually before the age of 20. About 1 in 10 people in the UK have warts at any one time. They are not usually harmful. Sometimes verrucas are painful if they press on a sensitive part of the foot. Some people find their warts unsightly. Warts at the end of fingers may interfere with fine tasks.

Are warts contagious?

Yes, but the risk of passing them on to others is low. You need close skin-to-skin contact. You are more at risk of being infected if your skin is damaged, or if it is wet and macerated, and in contact with roughened surfaces. For example, in swimming pools and communal washing areas.

You can also spread the wart virus to other areas of your body. For example, warts may spread round the nails, lips, and surrounding skin if you bite warts on your fingers, or nearby nails, or if you suck fingers with warts on. If you have a poor immune system you may develop lots of warts which are difficult to clear. (For example, if you have AIDS, if you are on chemotherapy, etc.)

To reduce the chance of passing on warts to others:
- Don't share towels.
- When swimming, cover any wart or verruca with a waterproof plaster.
- If you have a verruca, wear flip flops in communal shower rooms and don't share shoes or socks.
To reduce the chance of warts spreading to other areas of your body:
- Don't scratch warts.
- Don't bite nails or suck fingers that have warts.
- If you have a verruca, change your socks daily.

To treat or not to treat?

There is no need to treat warts if they are not causing you any problems. Without treatment, about 3 in 10 warts have gone within 10 weeks, and most warts will have gone within 1-2 years, and leave no scar. The chance that a wart will go is greatest in children and young people. Sometimes warts last longer. In particular, warts in older people are sometimes more persistent and may last for several years.

Treatment can often clear warts more quickly. However, treatments are time consuming and some can be painful. Parents often want treatment for their children, but children are often not bothered by warts. In most cases, simply waiting for them to go is usually the best thing to do.

What are the treatment options?

The three most commonly used treatments are:

Salicylic acid
Freezing treatment
Covering with duct tape.

Each of these is now discussed further.

Salicylic acid
There are various lotions, paints, and special plasters that contain salicylic acid. You can buy these at pharmacies, or your doctor may prescribe one. Read the instructions in the packet on how to use the brand you buy or are prescribed, or ask your pharmacist for advice. Usually:

You need to apply each day for up to three months. This 'acid burns' off the top layer.
Every few days rub off the dead tissue from the top of the wart with emery paper (or similar). Gradually the wart is 'burnt off' and 'rubbed away'.
It is best if you soak the wart in water for 5-10 minutes before applying acid.
You should not apply acid to the face because of the risk of skin irritation which may cause scarring.
If you have diabetes or poor circulation, you should use salicylic acid only on the advice of a doctor.

If you put the acid on correctly each day you have a good chance of clearing the warts within three months. Studies report that about 7-8 in 10 warts are cleared within three months with daily use of salicylic acid. Tips for success include:

Try not to get the acid on the skin next to the wart as it may become irritated. You can protect the nearby skin by putting some Vaseline on the normal skin beforehand, or by putting on a plaster with a hole in it which just exposes the wart for treatment.
If the surrounding skin does become sore, stop the treatment for a few days until it settles. Then re-start treatment. There is also a small risk that you may get a skin allergy to the treatment. If this occurs, the surrounding skin becomes red and itchy.
It may take two weeks or more before you notice any improvement. It can take up to three months of daily applications for warts to go completely.
Treatment may work better if you put a plaster on the wart after applying the acid.
Acid lotions and paints are flammable. Keep them away from open fires and flames.

Freezing treatment
Freezing warts is a popular treatment. Many GPs and practice nurses are skilled at this. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used. The nitrogen is sprayed on or applied to the wart. Liquid nitrogen is very cold and the freezing and thawing destroys the wart tissue. There is also an option to buy a very cold spray (dimethyl-ether/propane spray) from pharmacies. You can apply this yourself (but you should not treat warts on your face with this).

To clear the wart fully it can need up to four treatment sessions. Each treatment session is a couple of weeks or so apart. The chance of clearing a wart with freezing treatment is about the same as acid treatment. However, it tends to be quicker.

Freezing treatment can be painful. Sometimes a small blister develops for a day or so on the nearby skin after treatment. Also, there is a slight risk of scarring the nearby skin or nail, or damaging underlying tissues such as tendons or nerves. It is not suitable for younger children or for people with poor circulation.

Tape
A recent study found that covering a wart with strong adhesive tape is likely to clear the wart within a month or two. (Duct tape was used in the study.) In this study, about 7 in 10 warts had cleared within two months with using duct tape. It may be worth a try as it is painless. However, further studies are needed to clarify the role of this treatment. The method described in the study was:

The wart was covered with duct tape for six days. If the tape fell off during this time a fresh piece of tape was put on.
After six days, the tape was removed and the wart soaked in warm water for five minutes. After drying it was then gently rubbed with an emery board or pumice stone to get rid of dead tissue from the top of the wart.
The wart was then left uncovered overnight and duct tape put on again the next day.
Treatment was continued for up to two months. (Note: most warts that cleared with duct tape did so within 28 days.)

Some experts advise that you should not use duct tape on the face as in some people it can irritate the skin.

Other treatment options

A podiatrist or chiropodist can pare or rub down a verruca. This is often enough to ease any pain, even though part of the verruca may still remain.

If the above treatment options do not clear warts then other methods may be tried. There are various ways that can 'cut out' or 'burn' warts, but they are usually only done by specialists if other treatments have failed. Some treatments (such as laser treatment) are not available on the NHS to treat warts and verrucas.

What about swimming?

A child with warts or verrucas should go swimming as normal. Warts can be covered with waterproof plasters. A verruca can also be covered with a waterproof plaster but some people prefer to wear a special sock which you can buy from pharmacies. It is also a good idea to wear flip-flops when using communal showers as this may reduce the chance of catching or passing on virus particles from verrucas.

This is what I mean

2009-02-20T09:29:00.000+08:00

This is the alternative ending I am referring to..... hmm.. awe~ so lovey dovey...

I AM LEGEND

2009-02-19T22:08:00.001+08:00

I've watched this before, and it was held in the cinema. This time is in the cinema in my room.

I have no idea what to say. There is a bit of anger in me. Let's not talk about it first.

This movie shows the power of being lonely in this world, love, trust, and faith. I think it's a good movie to tell us something which you guys should feel it yourself.

Now to the angry part, the VCD version's ending is different from what i've watched in the cinema! Those who watched the ending on Will Smith blow himself up and killing all night seeker say I.

Those who watched the ending with him giving his experiment subject back to the night seeker's leader an survived say OMG!!!

This is so argh!!!!!

Pathetic

2009-02-19T13:00:00.002+08:00

It's kind of pathetic for a guy to ask his girlfriend where are you in Facebook that's what I feel. Especially, the girlfriend don't really love his boyfriend as much. Ouch for the guy, damn for that girl. Because of somethings i've heard before from the girl that is why I think the boyfriend is pathetic. hahaha...

Definitely it's not me and my girlfriend. We are too lovey dovey. Hahaha...

All are there

2009-02-18T23:02:00.003+08:00

Had my first exam after a long 2 years. It was great. Got all answered and am happy about it.

Writing of the news print and broadcast news was a pain. I rewrote a total of 4 times for each, well, you've guessed it, my poor finger.

I guess most people knew the feelings of being a perfectionist in a short time especially under the mercy of exam time limitation.

Quite happy of what's written and submitted, but it can still be improved.

I've pinned high hopes of this module because it was made easy, if I can't pass or get the expectation of at least a B. I can forget about the rest (ideal is AD). I never have it before except for chinese oral exam.

Malu girlfriend

2009-02-18T23:02:00.001+08:00

I want to blog this so that we could review this and laugh about this in years to come.

She was trying to put in one part of the ear piece into my ear and she couldn't. She tried hard pressing it into the soft bones on top rather than my ear hole. I laugh like crap!

And also the straw was there to use but to her, the straw seems like a tough thing to overcome, she hit herself on it twice today!!!

Sorry I blog this to keep as our memory. Haha..

Day of surgery

2009-02-17T22:52:00.003+08:00

After waiting for 9 months suffering from my jaw injury which hinders my normal way of biting and eating, 2 months later all will slowly be healing.

I've booked that date because I need it fast, I do not wish to drag it anymore. The pain of not being able to use something that you are used to for 21 years for 9 months I think it's hard to describe to you guys.

The surgery will be for the entire lower jaw, incluing gum surgery, removing of teeth, removing wisdom tooth which hinders the gum surgery. It's for both sides of my lower jaw.

I was given an option of doing a side at a time or both at the same, I decided to do both. can I bear the pain? I think I can bear it after so much things that had happened last year. My emotions and physical can stand it after so much painful experience I've endured.

Day of surgery

Will they be our future?

2009-02-15T16:52:00.003+08:00

Observations had shown that children nowadays are too protective by their protective parents.

"children definitely been spoilt throughout the years", said a local childcare teacher.

One example I have remembered was from the experience of my fiancée. She said there was once this kid after finishing hIs apple, he gave the core straight on her face and told her he had finished.

I would like to remind all, if childcare center teachers are called maid, they will do it. But unfortunately for they are not.

This example sounded easy for some and I will feel disgusted for those.

Respect and manners must be taught by parents rather than pushing it to the teachers to deal with. Teachers are more of discipline and learning although I've lost respect for young teachers nowadays.

Yes, I do not have children yet and I do know the need to dote your own. But I will and mark my words, my kid will defintiely be independent, filled with respect and manners.

Lastly, it won't cost money to teach manners and respect.

Will they be our future?

Rivalry of Phone and face to face conversation

2009-02-13T12:37:00.001+08:00

I finally realized that I have this barrier to get over with. I am street-smart. Establishing a good friendship is never a problem to me. But conversations may prove deadly.

I get nervous when I call strangers on mobile or office phone. I get stuttered and felt small, whereas comparing with face to face conversation, I am more dominant in speech. What the hell is wrong with me!!!

Journalism

Finally after much hesitation, weihong is back as a student.

I've never thought that I can concentrate much of the time minus the star wars scene I went into for sometime.

Lecturer was unexpectedly humourous, uncensored and most importantly, very experienced in media.

Good Choice Vs Bad Choice

2009-02-12T13:42:00.001+08:00

Example -
Jo just got her Os result and she got a 23 L1R4. Very disappointed yet she can still make it to polytechnic, but for courses that she have no interest of. After communicating with her father, who is a strict person, he asked her to go straight to ITE to study hard so that she can move up to polytechnic with good results and thus get into the course she wanted. Now she is in ITE and she is doing just well enough.

What is wrong with this path that she had chosen or is there wrong in what the father insist her in doing?
To most parents, they will think that this is the path to take rather than retaking the ‘O’ levels. Local diploma does have their privilege in some areas, but most of the time you don’t use it. And also, when they are set to step into the society and work, they will realize that Singapore is a place of degree than a diploma. I can say near to half of Singapore populations have at least a degree.

To what I predict, diploma is soon to grow no value and the pay for that level will drop drastically. So what I would recommend is that take up a private diploma and study a degree after that just like what Clarence did, but that idiot have great O level points. This will make a better choice.

Please think about it parents, give your children more wider choice than restricting them to your thinking.

The Return of the Backstabber

2009-02-12T12:43:00.001+08:00

Eyes – this is the one of the useful organ in any human body. The eyes help a human body to work, talk, look, appreciate, love, sleep, etc. But eyes cannot tell tales, and eyes cannot elaborate more than what they see.

Brain – connected to the eyes, brain works as a CPU and the eyes are only like a webcam. The brain make out description in what humans sees. If the brain wave in the brain is very creative, it will make out beautiful stories, or if the brain wave is dull, it will just say what they see. But by doing this, they will make the human more direct and backstabbing.

My workplace – at my workplace, we are given this privilege to take short breaks in between to rest our eyes which is always being strain to look at the flat screen case. But some people will never understand that. Some demand their own colleagues or workers to give they 100% during their work, no breaks in between but only lunch breaks. And by bringing this thinking to my workplace is so uncalled for. By the way, that person has to know he is not my boss. I thank god that he is not and nothing much related. I love my boss!!

What happen next -When the news from this outsiders lets out to my directors, upon their next visits, they are bound to say I have nothing to busy just like what they said to my ex-colleague who left. Well, I’ll leave a place when they said I do nothing which I’ve sacrifice my time for all round errands and work done. I am pretty sure I am a capable person to bring forward a company internal system.

A and B

2009-02-12T00:45:00.002+08:00

A is a very discipline person, he is rich as he worked hard for it. He always look for ways to upgrade. As a civil servant, he is impartial on everything.

B is an ill-discipline person, he is poor and doesn't like to work. He find ways to extort money or accept bribe. Sadly, he is also a civil servant.

B always complain about A, saying a lot of things to hurt A. But A was never shaken by his words. He believed that as long as he is righteous and clear in conscience, he have nothing to be afraid of.

B finally come to realization after 30years later that he should be like A but he wants to remain the same and still be like A. And do you think he will succeed? Personally, I will say no. But the world will judge him.

Chelsea Next Boss

2009-02-10T21:12:00.002+08:00

It is not personal, but please not Hiddink. Chelsea need class. Many fans just crying out for Zola, but are they really interested in football? Are they so blind or empty in their heads? Hiddink is a great manager, he led 4 different teams into world cup. But can't they stop signing national team's manager than getting a club manager? Rijkaard is the man for the job.

Rijkaard managed Barcelona, and with his experience there, I would say it's really worth the bet. Why? Because Barcelona is an all star team and coming to Chelsea, it makes real good sense. Hiddink doesn't know much about controlling shiny star players. So please, don't go there.

My Girlfriend

2009-02-10T00:17:00.002+08:00

I love her and her only. She is my one and only. She is my wife-to-be, the woman, I've been looking for. If anyone ever ask me on how is it that I know that she is the one, I will reply, you have not found one I guess. It's really a feeling. A feeling of love. If there is any word to describe further, that is it. She is mine for life and I'm hers for life. We will share tears and joy together and I look forward for any obstacles we may face as I believe and I know we are strong and stable to overcome.

I love you so deep that none that I had before is comparable.

Jailbreak Ipod/Iphone

2009-02-09T22:30:00.003+08:00

I've seen news, read some blog posts and also saw updates of status in Facebook saying of Jailbreaking Iphone. But why Jailbreak it for? Below are some reasons:

Install 3rd pary applications via Cydia and Installer
Video Recording
Changing of theme
Using it as a HTTP server

Apple have one great reason and I think it's very reasonable to let you not jailbreak your Iphone. Once you jailbreak it and if fail, it become a brick and warranty will be voided. And you have to pay another hefty sum to get it fix, making it become a refurbished set than a new Iphone you used to have.

I think those "daredevils" that have failed or even attempted to make it happen are of a teenage age as you feel that you need something more, and when you got the latest Iphone as a gadget, you still wish more. But, most of the applications don't apply to your life at all! You don't even need it, instead, you just love to waste your parents money.

I was a teenager before and I know that feeling. Nope, I am not jealous of what teenagers have now as compared to what I can't have before. I despised them for buying something they don't need. Disappointed. If you are a teenager and you visited this site accidentally, scram, because you are smelly and disgusting like a piece of shit.

Reasons why I got a Ipod Touch:

Great email structure that my phone doesn't have..
IToday, ST, SG Buses were one of the temptations.
Dictionary that work which my phone can't, even with the application there.
A handphone with music function which I don't use as it only eats up my handphone batt. So that is why I got myself a reliable Ipod.
Internet Connectivity which gives me ease by using it
It is done by Mac using a Unix which means it's a tough nut to crack even if viruses are knocking the door, no one will answer it for them
For my studies.

People may also question why do I think students don't need it. I can only say talk to my finger nail, maybe the middle one will tell you more. I've been through study phase of primary and secondary school. WE DON'T EVEN NEED HANDPHONE IN SCHOOL!

What does journalist do?

2009-02-09T19:26:00.003+08:00

Actually, the basic idea of what a journalist does is to write about things. Either a certain topic, or reporting a news. Below is a further details of what we exactly do.

Researching stories, writing news, take photographs, edit stories, check facts, plan magazine, layout of pages. Every part of it thrills me a lot.

Hope my course can aid me more into extra more details. Also hope kathleen will come in tomorrow as she is a very smart and outstanding journalist.

Will I succeed?

2009-02-09T16:26:00.001+08:00

Basic Theory – It sounds easy for those who have done it. But the day is on 12th March 2009. If I am to fail this, I am not going to take any license! I will employ a chauffeur then.

Fabian, my colleague recommend me to do up the 10year series and he said I will sure get a guaranteed pass!

I will heed his advice and those who comes up to me say don’t have to do that and study for it because it’s too simple, freak off as you are not my friend anymore.

KTV session with my wife

2009-02-09T11:46:00.001+08:00

When over to SMa to splash some cash and something made my wife a bit upset about. The course consultant seems flirting with me and that’s what flare my wife. BTW! As usual, i am not doing anything or saying anything to make the lady misunderstood, but she just did. I think Joel, you know the way I interact with people.

Then we head to the smelliest movie theatre to catch a movie. It’s the smell of urine. Disgusting. But have to endure and I totally got into the movie – Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans. It’s unbelievable and I did enjoyed it as I am always into the mythical creature - werewolf and vampires.

After that we went over to have our dinner as I am craving for Burger King. And then we led ourselves to a pub with nice ambience and I nv knew you can sing there as it is a ktv pub! I think me and my wife was a bit suffering in there as the “singer” who sang was….. “so good” that we nearly teared. Hahaha…

And so I can’t take it anymore and I sang…………… and I didn’t expect applause. Hmm.. Did I really sing that good? I wonder….

All Hail Tottenham

2009-02-09T11:05:00.001+08:00

I say great job done by Spurs last night. Arsenal was totally not the arsenal was before in the days of David Seaman, Dixon, Keown, Vieira, Henry. It is really going down and Wenger is still trying to hold his pride by saying he is not wrong into building youngsters. The youngsters are good, but not good enough for EPL.

I can only say, Tottenham can keep themselves up in the EPL by playing what they were playing last night. That was a champion team and a great team to be seen in the finals with Manchester United which I think is not really looking good actually. They are struggling to keep themselves up and Liverpool are a pests, but both of them may lose out and Aston Villa slowly moves up and up. I won’t be surprise if they became the champion. They are now 5 points behind Man Utd. They are quietly strolling their way up.

Why clubbing?

2009-02-07T10:16:00.003+08:00

I'm actually not quite sure why some grew addict to clubbing. A place where perverts are, women get touched, grinded, everyone all sweaty, drinking a lot knowing you won't feel good next morning, spent a lot of money on drinks which you whine about being poor later.

I mean there are a lot of reasons not to club but most chose to do it.

Teenagers and clubbers said that it's a way to relax and release anger. I think it's all nothing but a lie to themselves. They love being touched and being screwed. Want to drink? Head to a bar to grab a beer or something. Can't release anger in a healthy way, mate?

Yes, I was a clubber but it's all in the past. To sit down and chill is a way healthier and a great choice than splashing out big cash to buy harm.

Invasion of the gf part 3!

2009-02-06T21:34:00.002+08:00

We are at clarke quay's TCC now... And I am using his ipod touch to invade his blog..! :D

Met him at chinatown after his work and had 'you ji mian' for dinner after which we went to SGH to get 'lost' in their lift. Haha..

Decided to come down to Clarke quay to have a drink and after walking round and round we ended up at TCC! You may think that tcc is a place where people gathers to have dinner and coffee.. Guess what! I had 2 bottles of beer and she have a glass of baileys. Now she is going to end her day with deserts! Good lord, finally she is full!

iPod touch have definitely impacted my daily life. From mail- blogging - news, it is great. Now I'm considering a macbook. Apple's mac interface really appealed and attracted to me rather than others who buy of only by thinking it's cool and nice. Really have to save up for this one.

disgusted

2009-02-05T22:15:00.002+08:00

What I meant by my nick? When someone in a forum, or whatever place criticize about tv, magazines or whatever they sees, there is sure to have some replies saying,"then don't watch it". But people love to voice out their opinion to be shut up. They want to know if someone felt the same and chat with, and not to assholes who comes in and disagree and saying this turn off line.

If any of my friends are like this, talk to my hand.

Deserve it?

2009-02-05T22:01:00.003+08:00

Woman wearing army's P.T and army products is what i really felt being disrespected. We wore and honor it the way we went through training and by wearing that, they have pulled our image down. I don't think it should be offered to women without 11B.

Wearing it is cute for a woman, but they can wear it at home or to sleep at home. What happens when tourists, or other ambassadors see it? They will be thinking, Singapore's army seems to be weak. I really don't think army should let women where it unless they signed on? People will overwrite my sayings by saying that how would I know they are not civil servant?Simple, you don't wear it proudly.

Maybe I am too proud to earn my rank, but I really am disgusted by women wearing it walking around. Disrespecting us who worked hard.

Channel 8 - 9pm show

2009-02-05T21:50:00.002+08:00

I just want to say, during this 9pm time, I really have nothing to do, so I will want to watch tv series. But this show which was only on tv for 2 days, really is disgusting. It's too oily and it's too irritating. I know it's only a show, but it have destroyed the image of some celebrities.

What's good about it is the reality of what was shown. People always take what was taken and discriminate the reported. But without proof and understanding, it destroys people reputation.

Overall, stupid show.

English Speaking

2009-02-05T15:21:00.001+08:00

It’s really tough for me to get out of my Chinese sentence structuring to make it work in my working environment, where everyone knows English than Chinese.

The only way I can make myself really express myself properly, speaking in perfect English will be using a low voice. I am not psychotic or have an imaginary friend. But I do talk to myself with English and these are perfect English. When I do want to speak with my normal tone and way, I will stutter and broken sentences comes out from this handicapped mouth. However, if I use a lower tone to speak when I speak to myself, I am fluent and capable to speaking more confidently.

I think it’s not that people do not speak English well, but I do feel that the level of tone, the decibel or surroundings really is Vito Factor that will help in getting better at public speaking especially in English.

You are on your own

2009-02-05T13:40:00.002+08:00

Every morning having the need to squeeze and to be squeeze. I'm glad that every morning, the train from Ponggol - Hougang are only half-filled rather than when it comes from Serangoon. The crowd in Serangoon is crazy. The population there really must decrease. Why not shift to Jurong? There's a lot of space there. As more crowd crowds in, it's really difficult to breathe, to hold the nearest pole.

Personal Space - People just won't understand the red zone, do not stand in ones red zone!! It's very intimidating. It's really irritating when people will yawn with no action of covering it, may it be women or man.

On your own - If you are traveling alone to work in the morning, other than feeling lonely and bored, you will also feel that it's a battlefield even taking a transport. Either you are able to get on board or you need to wait for the next train and NORMALLY, no such thing as you can't squeeze, because they really prove solid can be compressed.

Just my whine about morning scenes.

Motivation

2009-02-04T22:22:00.002+08:00

It's so low nowadays. I'm not talking about employment rate, neither am I talking about low in knowledge. I need to be inspired, may it come from a song, a true and really inspiring story (not referring to stories of those ex-hardcore gamblers or whatever)To tell the truth, I've done more for people than myself. Maybe some may say they didn't see it, but it's there and done. So it's alright.

Motivation - the state or condition to be motivated. My motivations are slowly fading away. I need something which will occupy me for the whole day. I can't stop working. I'm a super workaholic. I can't stop or should I say I do not want to stop. My whole life now seems to be switched into slow mode. Motivations are moving, but it is currently traveling slower than a snail. It's killing me. My huge ambition and ego are feasting me inside rather than having them feasting on my hard work. I need to shout, I need to be released. I need opportunity and I guess I need a big project.

My motivation now is to earn more money as I need it and also studying for good grades in my studies. But if I have to and can balance, why not give me all? I'm just so vexed.

I just can't wait for next Thursday where my greatest challenge will commence - Studies.

What you wear does matters!

2009-02-04T10:41:00.001+08:00

I doubt some Singaporeans felt nothing and no feeling towards whatever they wear. Looking at Orchard Road, you can see a lot of slipper gangs, singlet gangs and also student gang.

I would say I belong to slipper gang. I do love to wear flip-flops however recently I will try to refrain from it everywhere I go.

Let’s say when you are in your school days and you represent the school by wearing the uniform. By wearing the uniform, it reflects your school’s image. It’s a kind of branding I would say and as students, you are the product. How well a brand establish itself in the market depends greatly on how well the product is made and had achieved. So even during school days, what you wear does matters.

Singlet Gangs – This is what I hate actually, there is nothing wrong wearing a singlet in your neighborhood. But to wear it in Orchard road and with your hairy armpits? Please, you may feel comfortable, but those boarding train and buses DON’T! What contradicts our thinking is this “as long as I’m happy and feel good, that’s enough” but what overwrites it is “it’s good to feel comfortable but you still have awareness to your surroundings”. Imagine someone wearing singlet like you standing beside you with sweat dripping down from the armpit hair!

So what I mean is, you represent something whenever you go. The kind of things you do, your manners, your attire really speaks a lot. Being trendy is good, but being inappropriate is not. If you wear slippers, wear something nice to cover it or LOOK NICE!

I hear you

2009-02-03T23:10:00.002+08:00

Signs are coming to me like a flow. Because of my parents, I am most likely going to be believe in what they believed as to carry on their tradition. But I really can't seem to shake the faith I have for the lord. It's been a long time since I saw that Indian man reading a bible and kissing it. But on the morning when I was really been dilemma on this topic, I saw this lady reading it and so when I tto of that Indian man, I turn and he was right behind me!

Today, while watching tv,it shows some fiction movie on Noah's past, but the whole show keep mentioning to have faith. I was totally stunned. Maybe I am too sensitive. But I think the Lord wants me to keep the faith....

iPod test

2009-02-03T21:26:00.001+08:00

This is my first iPod blogging... Test test.. So excited!! Next time can blog on the go and critize on the goal

If snow were nice as before

2009-02-03T09:54:00.003+08:00

Many from our tropical island would yearn for a snowy day, play with snow, having snowball battle, making snowman, but what if you are living in UK now? My boss sent me this photo which was taken from his backyard.

Nope, this is not a design and it's not a fake photo. It was snowing yesterday and the snow accumulated a 2 ft in height. Take that for snow lovers! Thank god I love the sun! But thank god, they work from home. Damn. Haha..

Got it

2009-02-03T09:49:00.003+08:00

Yes, I finally got it. My new gadget which is an old one to all. Some may look at me saying I am rich? Nope, learn to save and you save yourself. Earn for your own pleasure and not others!

I love it a lot! Gadgets with many applications! Now I have news on the go and everything in the grasp of my hand. Heed a little advice from everywhere and here I am with my own. This will be a great help on my mails, internet, etc. It's everything. By my words, I am just excited and happy I did it.

Does Singaporean Complain?

2009-02-02T15:10:00.001+08:00

NO! One British guy does! You owned a company yourself, so stop bothering ours. Mind you own business dude.

We are Singaporeans, doesn’t mean we work like robots. We are more flexible and also hardworking.

Yes, you banned it in your UK firm and that’s your problem. If you complain to my director about this, then I would just say the director’s son is obviously working for that FB than in the company! SUCH AN ASS!

Simply disgusted

2009-02-02T14:41:00.001+08:00

Yesterday, my little cousins and my auntie came by my house for a CNY visit. Such a brat. He went to the toilet in my Mother’s room and walked out, upon seeing me typing my blog in computer, he barged in standing beside me, and I just go “what you want?” I know that it’s kind of rude, but I don’t give a damn to kids that are rude. Then he walked further into my room and saw my figurines. My heart started to turn cold, he took my figurine and play with it! I hate any kids to touch my toys! Lucky enough, he doesn’t know that the missiles can really rotate and fire.

He then bugged my Mum who was having a headache to play blackjack. Damn irritating. Win, he take, lose he say he never play. ARGH! Weird brat..

Difference of rich and us

2009-02-02T13:41:00.002+08:00

There are actually 2 kinds of people who frequent the hawker centre. Rich, snobbish patrons and coolie kind like me. Of course there is nothing wrong to the fact rich people like them frequent the hawker because they missed the day they were poor ...which is a good thing... and others just know that it's cheap.

Maybe it's just my perception, but it is not hundred percent not true.

Just now when I was queuing for my favorite chicken rice store, this lady ordered a lot and it's just for his husband and her. Then she was standing there looking at the tray slowly filled. As it was lunch time, the hawker was having a hard time managing, this lady asked the helper help her carry, she didn't know that there was so much and she was "AFRAID" to carry it. The boss looked at her from inside and said out loudly in hokkien: " we are very busy now and we cannot help la!" Then the lady ran to look for his husband for help, but the husband just come carried the tray and walked away.

Poor people like me, we always have respect and understanding for those trying hard to make money and we just understand the pain. Yes, service is what Singapore is working towards, but there is a difference between asking for service and being asking for too much! This is a hawker, let me say it again, this is a hawker centre, there is no service charge, so if you ask for service, feel free to get "service"!

Feeling like a loser

2009-02-02T12:23:00.002+08:00

If you think I meant that "loser", you guessed it wrongly! Well, basically I felt very uncomfortable. I love my "johnny" that's for sure. But it's just that I have this stiff neck, stiff back. It is bothering me like hell when I'm working. Today it is killing me real badly! The bones just won't crack and it is such a pain. I think I will visit the WANYANG something something place where a lot of people frequent in my area to have a great massage!

Battle of the sexes?

2009-02-02T11:52:00.005+08:00

Playstation 3 and Ipod touch are the main targets I will be going after. But these two gadgets are totally different thing. With Ipod touch giving me a lot of healthy entertainment than Playstation 3, I seem destined to go for Ipod touch.

Ipod Touch - I downloaded the video introduction for Ipod Touch and it's features thrills me. My brother has it and when I was exploring it, what really caught my eye is the STNews which I love. It gives me news on the go as it cache it. You are like holding a straits times with just a device than papers. The genius function gave me a further understand of what it meant in the video and it's cool. Music, Video are normal essentials but the variety of applications to add in is such an angel!

Playstation 3 - The idea of having a high resolution and real-time graphic seems to be the main attraction to me. Playing online with friends is just an addition. Games are expensive and I am not a person who will get hook to game. So.... that's a point to consider.

There you have it, my answers are here. Sorry dear~ no puzzle bobble for ps3 but hopefully there is in Ipod Touch!

China Folks

2009-02-01T12:55:00.002+08:00

They really deserve to be praise. Let's drop the topics of the Melamine, Earthquake, Corruption and you know what. But to me, simple technology they used during the reign of dynasties really makes us think how do they do it? Simple law of physics that they did not need to study, simple knowledge they acquired during farming which is so ingenious.

Came across a lot of technologies which is still at work till today really makes me feel proud to be a Chinese.

Let me state 2 recent examples:
Richter Scale
A mystery that till now that we do not know how it disappeared in thin air, The Richter Scale. Many were misled that the one displayed in the China's Museum is the real thing. But it was a successful duplicate of the scale in 1950. I won't elaborate on how it work, but Zhang Heng really did well in making a huge breakthrough which I think till now you'll never realized that given the present technologies, nothing came close to it.

Salt water retrieval method
This method sounds simple? But to dig 3000ft during the days of Ming Dynasty? It was really tough. They inserted a bamboo-like canister in the hole dug which is only a fist big to retrieve the saltwater. With a small stick used to push into the gap below the bamboo, saltwater retrieved flows out. What was pushed in the bamboo to create the flow? A cooked cow skin. Incredible. I ain't gonna say more.

Well, in conclusion, I am just astonished about how our ancestors are able to make such a difference. (but not proud at what the future of theirs are...)

My Girlfriend is so patient!

2009-01-30T23:53:00.002+08:00

Well, my girlfriend is human afterall that is why she complains about her work. Who don't? But she can stick with the world's worst mammal ever and that says it all! KIDS! It is really ridiculous to see how kids nowadays behave and my poor girlfriend have to be patient and still caring towards them. So proud of her!

Today as I was waiting for train back home I heard this little nursery boy conversation with his Mum.
Son: Mummy, I very pissed today.
Mother: Why?

Son: Because teacher today school all the boys. I hate all the girls. They go tell teacher that we run around. But I nv run around. Me..... me and my friends very angry that teacher scold us. I hate the girls.
Mummy: oh.. hahaha...

And the Mother smile to me through the reflection on the door in the train station, I was like grinning away. Haha.. I didn't expect a kid to say PISSED OFF! This is ridiculous! So I would urge everyone to respect my girlfriend! haha..

Another News

2009-01-30T23:25:00.003+08:00

Today, I asked Aloysius about what he meant by saying he is free in Facebook, he said he broke up with Kitty.

This is a expected outcome of a sticky relationship. Actually relationship is quite special. It is just a word, but what happened in the process really causes it to fumble and crumble.

Communication is really a key Vito factor to have for a successful and stable relationship and just by adding 3 letters in front of it, it causes unsuccessful and instability. Words are really the one playing tricks on couples when it comes to communication. It can really creates Joy, Anger, Sad and Happy. So I think all who are in a relationship be careful on what you say as it may turn out different from what you meant.

Those who are on their way into your first relationship. Remember these pointers: "Communication, Eye contact, Thoughtful, Awareness, Surprises, Sex and Coax" Of course this is not all of the pointers but it should get you started, BUT DO NOT TOUCH ON SEX IMMEDIATELY!

Banged Up Abroad

2009-01-30T22:47:00.002+08:00

This is no one of the "bangbus" series. Today this series is about this dumb guy and half dumb girl. They are struggling in getting on with their life in the high cost living place in UK and they got this deal... a so called deal of getting rich in just a trip to Australia.

So Mark and his girlfriend (then) went over to Australia with 2000pds. They spend their nicest 2 weeks there and the start of nightmare..... On the day of their departure, they were given 250,000 Aussie dollars and have to bring it to Hong Kong to this man staying in this 5000dollars a day suite. And successfully they did and they got 8000pds out of it from that man. That's it, deal settled.

With the money in the pockets of Mark and girlfriend, the girlfriend suddenly became paranoid about worrying Mark will flirt and etc. And so, they broke up in Hong Kong going different ways. Without any much money left with him, he went to his friend, who is a famous drug trafficker in their world. And there he started his "new business".

Here comes the BEST PART! He tapped 700gram of cacaine on his body and also swallowed 60 condoms filled totaling up to 200gram into his stomach. (psst... He nearly died!)

Yeah yeah, he was caught and jailed for 4 years in the maximum security jail in Australia.

National Dental Centre

2009-01-30T21:55:00.002+08:00

Finally, it's the end of the week! Today went off early from work to go for my Dental Appointment. I was quite nervous about it as the referred hospital's nurse told me I will be referred to NDC and immediately be doing Root Canal.. To my surprise and a little bit of expectation, CGH forgot to transfer my medical reports to NDC and so I am unable to be proceed with much treatment than moulding the shape of my teeths.

NDC, I was thinking that it is just a regular hospital place, but to my surprise, I kind of like it more than CGH. It's big and spacious, 21 dentists consultant rooms! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!! Unbelievable. The assurance is that everyone is a dentist, you don't have to worried about anything will go wrong in any surgery! Haha...

Speaking of Recruitment

2009-01-30T14:28:00.001+08:00

Economy meltdown
Everyone are trapped in this economy meltdown situation. Because of direct or indirect business links, a vicious chain reaction - “Devil Chain” slowly eats up companies and thus causing close-down of companies after companies.

Question: “You are in a recruitment firm, so you must be earning like hell as there are more applicants now.”
Answer: Not really. Due to the economy, applicants increase, but job’s availability decreases. Applicants only create more depth for a recruitment databases and also give them higher chance of getting a more suitable candidate for the limited job.

What can I as a applicant do now?
My best advice is to study or work harder in your company in areas that produce cash for your company than concentrating on your normal duties.
To study now is the most suitable and best advice I can give. This gives you a chance to slowdown your fast pace life and improve your knowledge and qualifications so that when the economy finally pick itself up and I reckon it will be slow however will be speed up in 3 months after. So I welcome you to take this advice.

I’ve just graduated from a local university, is my chances of getting a job high now?
Nope, it is as low as 10%. But if you have great experience before you went in for a degree or so, you have higher chances of getting a job. If you come to think of it, it definitely make sense to anyone. Like all my friends who ORD-ed, they choose to hurry up and go for NTU, NUS, SMU, SIM, etc. But neither they realize the path they take is a bet. Having a good degree in a local university is important as it will stand out in resumes, however, it is the timing of it.
For my case, I choose to work first to gain the experience, at least a year of working experience to be able to standout among all the degree holders with nothing to show in their resume. So those who are going to ORD, think twice.

I am going to send my resume out, what should I take note?
What I am going to say is just my recommendations, so do not follow if you think it does not make sense to you.
Picture of yourself is better to keep it to yourself than sharing it in the resume. First impressions are the most important and some recruitment firms do mind that as you are the one whom they are going to present you to their clients, so do take note on why!
Fancy resumes are better off without it. The maximum I will go to is .PDF files, other than that, please do not put in background for your resumes. It will lag in most situations depending on their recruitment software used and it will irritates the researcher, and MAYBE, they will turn to delete your application. Keep your resume simple and comfortable.
Content of cover letter? Write everything from examples but include something interesting, something that will spark interest in the interviewer! And if you want to try writing something about your knowledge on the company you are applying for, make sure you write it right!

Many people loves to make their personality known during interviews and make it more transparent for the interviewer to see who they really am, and some are more introvert in that sense. Who will be the winner? I can’t tell. It all depends on the interviewer likes.
What I will recommend is, be cheerful and smiley throughout and prepared to answer questions like “tell us about yourself, other than what is stated in the resume.” SMILE IS IMPORTANT!

Above is all based on my experience till now, even though it’s not a lot, but I’ve read through 3100++ resume in 4 months. So I do have knowledge of how things should be as one of the researchers! So, good luck and hope all friends gets the job!

Root Canal

2009-01-29T16:36:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow evening I maybe doing my ROOT CANAL TREATMENT, I am so scare and nervous wondering how it would be. All thanks to Jonathan that keeps telling me he had it before and it felt like being punched by someone a lot of times. And when I say root canal, everyone gave me the god bless u look… damn…. WHY ME!!!

My Primary School Friend

2009-01-29T16:29:00.001+08:00

This primary school friend of mine did share some joy of my primary school life and I think she thinks I was a joker in the class. Yeap, met her up for lunch in KFC because HALAL. haha… So We chatted about what we have been doing, and lalalala… I have this perception of early child birth thingy, but I was wrong. Hers was some belief of being the only daughter in the family, she have to be married. hmm…. and so I was wrong. Sorry Shaz~ hahaha..

But having from no contacts from primary school friends I have 1~!

Waste of time?

2009-01-29T16:20:00.001+08:00

There is a problem on most of us. I did have it too. What problem is that? Relationship. Nope, I am not that blowjobber Kelly, but I am no one but the one stating the truth.

Relationship is something unique, it comes and goes, and if stays, it means it’s the end of what always comes and goes. Then give all you have to make it work then married and died together. That’s it. Yesh, many people take love and being love as one of the importance of life. But if I am asked, it’s really not. I have gf now, I love her a lot that is why we are at the stage of maintaining it, get married and died together. But that’s not the point, the point is what if u are without it?

IF you are without it, u are single, which means you can do a lot of things to make yourself more useful. You get to make decisions on your own. And for now, looking at the economy, work is the best choice, if NOT study for short courses or what. I use to whine about my failed relationships, but I find it no point as to whine on something I’ve also enjoyed myself and was happy, that’s enough.

We are man, we are the one who have to be strong, if we are weak, then how are we going to impress and prove worthy when the time your future wife needs u, your company needs u and your family?

So if you are the one having a failed relationship, stop being moody and also depress, it is an excuse to escape what you still have to do and from your normal life. Bring the spirit to work as work is nothing but the one giving your pleasure of wealth. So, get a job and keep working for the money and relationship can wait.

Just for Laughs

Nice pitch nice song

2009-01-23T15:59:00.001+08:00

Nope, I still not sure about his quality but I fell in love with this song he sang.. Unbelievable and I can sing it too.. easy.. LOL..

爱只剩下躯壳
为什么还不放手却拉扯
是我不甘心还是不舍
为何我还在固执的拔河
其实我真的很难过
只是难过都沦为沉默
可能我真的不懂得让你更快乐
我想和你在一起却在你未来缺席
给你的爱那些美丽
已长成藤蔓缠着我的生命
在你的未来缺席
像是一出剧本未完待续
预留伏笔把未完成从容继续
如果还有如果就算瞬间老去毫不犹豫
爱是不是都一样
无论多漫长终究曲终人散
可是我不想因为不敢却步沮丧
然后半途收场
如果还有如果拥抱你不犹豫
能不能将你的样子忘掉
舍不舍得爱让我控制不了
只想要把你拥抱
其实爱上一个人没有解药
我的静脉流着爱陪你到老
原来我还会微笑
我真的想和你在一起却在你未来缺席

Singing Competition

2009-01-23T15:48:00.002+08:00

This morning watched a bit of the 3rd Taiwan Singing competition. It was so.... flat and dull. Of cos the judges are still the ones who are so professionals. It's just as compared to those during the 1st season. They sang like no tomorrow, they are strong with their voice and everything. They have class and style and the winner is of cos well-deserved, but this 3rd season really sucks. Yes some does sing very nice, but well, maybe putting this two season together really is not right as they are totally different. Well, forget what I say. Just disappointed by the difference of level.

Just some of the cartoons I've watched before

2009-01-22T20:58:00.003+08:00

Of course there are thousand more.. But here are some... haha.. enjoy!

Titanic

2009-01-22T16:57:00.002+08:00

Can you ever believe that researchers say that British who died during the Titanic incident, is due to their gentlemanly behavior and American get to have a higher survival chance due to their individualist thinking.

It was said during the huge commotion in the ship, Britons queue up for the survival boat and American because of the individualist thought, they got on most of the escape boat.

Hmm, I wonder...

Cleric 'must deny' views on rape

2009-01-22T16:51:00.003+08:00

This news was extracted from BBC.
The cleric, Samir Abu Hamza, reportedly questioned how rape can exist within marriage, and encouraged "light beating" of disobedient women.

This fellow was later asked to apologize to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia, as under no circumstances is sexual violence is permissible and acceptable in Australia.

So next time you think you've married the right one, think twice ; )

Woman = ?
