962. losing fat

Rant of the day: Earthquake and Tsunami again in Indonesia... Hopefully Bintan is not affected~~~

I've been trying hard to drop that weight, build a lil of muscles and get myself tanned. I must not look fat, fair and frail...

Dear's cousin, Su Ling, introduced this body cream from Bio-essence Inch Loss Body Cream to burn fat.

Just apply in a circular motion after bathing on the areas that you wanna burn. Avoid sensitive areas like armpit, nips and *ahem* your privates. Privates are suppose to look bigger and not smaller. Lean and mean does not apply to that area.

Seriously, it burns like hell after applying it. As if the body is placed in a tank of chili padi water!!! That is how hot it felt after each application. Try exercising after apply the cream. It's 10 times hotter than just a mere application!!!

Ouch!!!

Can literally feel the fat (or maybe skin cells) burning but without signs of redness on the skin. Can't feel the heat coming out as well because it's burning from within...

Not sure if it works though because I barely started on the cream a few days ago. But the skin is starting to get slightly firmed. Think lemme use it for another few weeks and I let you know if it's useful.

Finished reading the 6 chapters that will be coming out for exams. But... Reading is just reading. still didn't quite managed to memorise the stuff. Now I'm back to the first chapter to do mind-mapping. I'm just gonna pick 3 chapters to focus. The other 3 will just read as backup plans.

Cut hair tomorrow... Bring my army uniform to "update" at Beach Road tomorrow... Will I be able to complete my mind maps tomorrow?

Eh... I haven't post photos of my family car here yet right? Shucks...

961. noo mood to study

Rant of the day: Finally clear what i need to clear before going on leave!!! Phew~~

I've got no mood to study... No mood at all... I just wanna go Bintan this Saturday and getaway from Singapore for a while.

*random surf*

I'm at the first chapter...

*random surf*

I'm still at the same chapter...

*flip flip*

No mood lah... Seriously... Nothing is being registered into my brain. I think I'm dead on coming Friday paper!!!

960. here with me

Rant of the day: Hungry le... I shall not eat!!! Endure... FAT!!! Argh!!!

I'm starting to fall in love with Dido again... This song sprung up when we (dear, Arina, Kevin and me) were watching Love Actually. Super nice lah...

Was thinking if Kevin's band (A Quarter to Five) lead vocalist, Merle, is to sing this song... Should be quite nice for her vocal range. Right Kevin?

Dido - Here With Me

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh
I am what I am
I'll do what I want but I can't hide

I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe until you're resting here with me

I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be until you're resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been

Oh
I am what I am
I'll do what I want but I can't hide

I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe until you're resting here with me

I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be until you're resting here

I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe until you're resting here with me

I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be until you're resting here with me

[repeat italics]

959. buay song

Rant of the day: Office emails flooding again... Fuck...

I am sibeh buay song... Not in any mood right now... Don't attempt to talk silly and stupidity things to me unless you are looking for a serious whacking left right centre...

If decision is already almost finalised, what's there to discuss? So it means I don't have to study as well? So it means he didn't save enough for his studies?

I kept quiet doesn't mean I'm agreeable but rather you talk like my boss. Then what's there to talk about?

I FUCKING BUAY SONG CAN...

Say until like I sibeh 计较 but the fact is that I barely hit 35% of the total mileage!!! My problem that I drive little? Or is it my problem because I'm going to graduate soon and should have enough to pay? Or is it my problem because I'm earning a mere $200 odd more?

If you already "foresee" such problems, why still buy car? Itchy backside is it?

Whatever fuck lah...

958. sunday out wild

Rant of the day: Gawd... My neck aches like crazy...

Think the thing that allows me to enjoy the fullest is... FOOD!!! Hahaha... This is good stuff found at Ion Orchard basement. Takoyaki!!!

10 pieces with 2 green tea float @ $9.90!!! And the green tea really very "green". Is bitter de lor...

Dear always look so nice. Think my hair damn chui yesterday... It's a sign to get a hat over it.

And this is a luxury -- my most expensive hair wax ever!!! $16 per can from Sephora!!! Ouch!!! But I super like the scent. Very sweet and refreshing...

After shopping, met up with Arina and Kevin for some coffee over at Gloria Jean's before Kevin's live band gig at Cineleisure. Support local artiste. Support Kevin's band -- A Quarter to Five.

Kevin is the drummer. Steady lah!!! Very fast hands... =P I cannot do all these musical instrument and stuff. Hand coordination problem. Hahaha... The female vocalist not bad. Quite zai. And she's also cute!!! Just that certain twist in pitches a lil off control. But not bad. The young guitarist in white also not bad. Think his name is Jeeyon (if I didn't spell wrongly). Very talented chap.

It was a very last minute clubbing decision at Butter Factory. A group photo before the party starts. Yeah! I got my hat from Aldo!!! A lil expensive but I like... $44 after UOB card discount. Ouch!!!

Haven't enjoyed clubbing for a really long time. The crowd. The music. Everything just seemed right for a good night of dancing and drinking. Yeah... We drank a lot actually and I got quite a bad hangover today.

"I'm... spinning around... My head spins around... I think my head is spinning wildly right now..."

The Jeeyon chap joined us at a slightly later timing where all of us were already yo-ing on the dancefloor. He is only 21!!! WTF!!! I felt so old...

Anyway, we got a pretty funny experience last night. While our girls went to the ladies, we were "picked up" by a group of self-proclaimed Californians. Hey come on lah... One look I know you Singaporean leh... You dunch even have that ang moh accent. A group of young scammers to cheat free drinks out of guys.

They even resort to offer kisses us on our lips!!! WTF!!! So cheap lah...Only when our girls came back, they scrammed into the dark in seconds! That's fast. From Jeeyon's description, one of the gals was asking him to treat their whole group of people drinks!!!

If you need free drinks, go find a sugar daddy can?

End of weekend and it's beginning of a new one. Just that I'll be working for 2 days only!!! On leave on Wednesday and Thursday, in preparation for Friday's exam!!!

Gambatte!!!

957. birds

Rant of the day: Long weekend not long enough...

Think I'm getting myself into swimming again recently. Maybe because I'm getting fairer... That's why... I wanna get my tan back. Don't wanna look like some sick and fair boy. My skin don't feel the burning sensation after today's long session under the hot sun. But I'm alot tanner now.

I'm trying to learn how too swim Butterfly stroke but it's damn tough lah. And it demands a lot of energy and oxygen intake. Plus, it's really hard to manage the "wriggling" posture for a long period. If done wrongly like me, you might end up looking like a caterpillar instead. Hoping that under dear's guidance, I can quickly master it.

Anyway, after today's swim, went to Louis' (dear's cousin Su Ling's boyfriend) place to check out his pet birds. OMG!!! They are damn cute!!!

This is Money, a mix breed cockatoo.

Isn't she adorable. And she is damn sai nai. And yes, she's one of the rare few cockatoos that don't bite.

And this is Almond. It's still too young to determine the gender.

But it bites. That's why I'm keeping it a lil distance from me. Hahaha...

And they have extremely sharp claws!!! No joke man. I can't imagine if they are fully grown. Their claws might be able to rip my fingers apart.

I tried having budgies (those mini parrots look-alike in blue, green or yellow) many years back but it ain't easy to take care of birds. It's pretty tough actually. And they requires alot of attention. Also, need to know how to clip off their flight feathers if you wanna let them roam around the house without flying away.

Think I better stay with having a dog instead. Hahaha...

It's back to work again. Even though it's only 4 days left to work this week, it still felt sucky...

956. shopping, seafood

Rant of the day: Broke... So sad...

Not sure why but recently, I'm beginning to fall in love with JB. Prolly because the stuff there are sooooooo much cheaper than Singapore (especially the food). Saturday was a fun-filled day with dear, Arina and Kevin at JB.

We were early so that we can avoid the heavy traffic.

The moment we past the immigration, we saw the traffic building up fast! Phew~~~ It took us around 1 hour to travel from Woodlands to JB Immigration Hall.

Lunch at Kim Gary, City Square.

Simply love their food. Large portion at super affordable price. The figures on the menu are around the same as Singapore... But the currency is different!!! Which means, it's almost half the Singapore price!!! Must try their steak. Damn good!!!

After lunch exercise regime includes shopping. I managed to get a singlet for upcoming Bintan trip and a new tee. Dear got herself a new denim vest and a pink straw hat.

Dinner has gotta be seafood in Malaysia because it's soooooooo cheap!!! Went to this cleaner place known as Taman Sentosa. Fresh seafood and BBQ sticks.

Their signature has gotta be the salted egg crabs. Totally yummilicious. We ordered also chilli crab (which I think Singapore's chlli crab tasted alot better), some shellfish (call lala) and hotplate tofu. Plus, we ordered quite a large number of BBQ sticks which includes chicken wings, abalone mushrooms and squid. Forget about the calories and cholestrol for 1 day. Just enjoy first and talk later.

Think the largest spender has gotta be Arina... And we already so foresee that to happen. Hahaha...

Let's go again someday for seafood again!!!

955. hungry ghost month

Rant of the day: Jogging... Swimming... I need to lose weight...

A really retarded joke that still brings smiles everyday...

Two ghosts met and both chat about how they died.

1st Ghost: How u died?

2nd Ghost: I died of cold.

1st Ghost: How does it feel when you're dying in cold?

2nd Ghost: Actually, I was imprisoned in the refrigerator. Initially, I was shivering, then my whole body started to freeze, later I felt the whole world was dark and I died. Fortunately, I died with not much sufferings.

1st Ghost: You're so pityful....

2nd Ghost: How about you? How did u die?

1st Ghost: I died from heart attack.

2nd Ghost: I see, why did u have a heart attack?

1st Ghost: Actually, I found out that my wife is having an affair with another man. One day, when I came back from work, saw a pair of man shoes outside my house. Then, I realized that the guy was in my house with my wife. When I rushed into the bedroom, my wife was alone. I must find where that bastard is hiding. So I searched the toilet, I ran downstairs, looked in the storeroom, but the bastard was not there. So, I ran upstairs and searched the wardrobe, but I found nothing. Because I was too tired of all that running, I got a heart attack and died.

2nd Ghost: Why didn't you look for the bastard in the fridge? If you did, both of us were alive.

954. today

Rant of the day: Literally listened to the same oldies since evening because the auntie kept repeating the same karaoke VCD!!!

I simply cannot tahan people cutting my queue... irregardless the age, race or gender. Can't people just follow the queue in an orderly manner?

Almost lose my cool this afternoon (because I'm fucking hungry) in a small neighbourhood provision shop at Hougang Central. Was there helping my dear on some groceries for her dad's birthday dinner tonight. As we were approaching the cashier for payment, an old man from behind me, shoved me aside with his arms and pushed his items on the cashier's desk before our items! Dear was already standing in front of the cashier.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

And not just that, the fucking old man turned and looked at me as if he "won" the squeeze! I really almost shouted "fuck off and queue up" to the old man. But since the cashier acted blind and accepted his item first, I heaved a loud sigh and controlled myself.

But before he left, he turned around just outside the store again and gimme that chee bye look!!! I really cannot take it anymore and ranted out loudly "Chao chee bye!!! Old dunno how to queue is it? Chee bye!!! Squeeze squeeze squeeze...", as if the peeps around me all deaf. I think within a mere 30 seconds, I shouted at least 4 times of "chee bye" on the street. Think dear got a lil shock to see me reacted this way but I really cannot take it when people cut my queue purposely and gimme that kinda look.

I'm no ah beng but these kinda idiots totally deserve all the cursing and swearing.

Anyway, it's been a very very tiring Sunday. Skipped breakfast to change the mattress covers. Bathed Deric. Met dear to run some errands. Helped to shift the arrangements at dear's place for the dinner event. And only now, I'm finally home...

Happy birthday uncle (dear's dad).

Selemat Hari Raya to the Muslims.

Happy long weekend for EVERYBODY... Well, almost everybody...

Happened to stumble upon this video on someone's blog and I'm speechless...

I'm not a follower on Miss Singapore and all these pageant stuff, but looking at this new representative for Singapore, I'm totally ashamed... What are the judges doing? Her Engrrish is terrible... She hesitated on what she's studying. Isn't she supposed to repeat that stuff after numerous introductions and interviews? And what is "boomz" for her own fashion sense description? Her fashion sense makes no sense!!!

Seriously, what are the judges thinking when annoucing her as the Miss Singapore 2009? They are putting her on the globe to represent us!!! Gosh...

953. new laptop

Rant of the day: Getting fat again... Shit...

I've got a new laptop at Comex!!! La la la la la... It's an Acer Aspire. Really cheap.

Got it at $1198 and because got special lobang, got a free additional 2 years local warranty in exchange of the Microsoft Office OEM version and the Norman anti-virus software. The Microsoft Office I can buy at corporate discount rate. I already bought the Norton anti-virus on last IT show and has not use it yet.

Comes with Dolby Home Theater sound system with virtual surround sound.

I realised that I simply cannot tahan totally black laptops. My previous Dell XPS has silver sides on top and this new Acer is actually dark blue!!!

Can't see clearly here eh...

What's left and I really really needed is Microsoft Office 2007... But Mr Lok cannot remember what is IRAS program code for the home use scheme! Shit...

But at least now, I can enjoy my current online love... New online game -- Dragonica. Gotta login to level up now!!! Ciaoz!!!

952. song for audition

Rant of the day: Up next... exam... Sianzation!!!

Finally... Presentation over. Comment -- An above average presentation. Ok... At least we weren't being bombarded badly like the last time. Think the presenters did pretty well too. Good job peeps.

I'm not sure why Sunny suddenly talk about the peer appraisal thingy right after our presentation. Is it because of our team's appraisal to the group members too incline towards the same angle? Or is it something else?

Anyway, I can still participate for the Revenue Idol audition. Saw the audition date wrongly. But the rules for the competition is so weird... Can sing any language during audition but in the finals, MUST sing English song. Huh? Why like that? Discrimination over the language? So sad...

I'm planning to sing this song for audition.

I super like this song lah!!! Super love 戴愛玲 song. Her voice is damn power lah!!!

This is her Mandrin version of Stacie Orrico's Stuck titled 我該得到.

And this is her latest song, 空港. Nice lah~~~

Gonna get a thumbdrive for mum. And also a new laptop. My Dell sucks big big time!!! It's time for a change. If only I have enough for an iPod too. *sigh*

951. slow down

Rant of the day: Really feel like slapping the temp staff!!! I'm serious...

I think I need to slow things down for a while... The Bintan trip after exams prolly will help to do that... It had come to a stage where I just wanna sit in front of my office PC, stare at it hard and hope that the server is down for a few months. But it will never happen...

Project presentation is more or less done. Workload is easing a lil but my desk is still piled up like a hurricane just came by...

I might not be able to participate in the IRAS Revenue Idol thingy because the audition is on the 5th and 6th October but so is my Bintan trip, which ends on the 5th... The 6th October audition is prolly for the group contestants. The finals will be on the 23rd October and so nicely, it fits into the last day of my reservist. But even if I can go for the audition, I might not go to the finals lah...

But still, I'll still register for the solo category, hoping miracles will happen.

This is a lil extreme...

Don't get addicted to gaming... Really... Did he tried to fuck himself with a remote control? OMFG!!!

950. losing hope

Rant of the day: DATA ENTRY!!! zzzzzzzz...

After this Friday's presentation, only the exam paper is left hanging there to complete for New Studies module. Get it over and done with. I'm also not pinning much hope of distinction degree (1st class honours equivalent). Starting to lose hope after recent modules with only credits. The only way to ensure I get a distinction degree is to get all high distinctions for all the remaining modules.

Possible meh? I'm starting to doubt myself. Suddenly, the drive to fly to RMIT for convocation drops. No matter how much I wanna tell myself that I can make it there, inside me, I know I can't...

But I should be pretty much use to it by now. I've seen my dreams crashed one after another. Very few fulfilled. If I were to list down the crashed dreams, you prolly can't finish reading them... So just name a few memorable ones starting from the earliest:
1) Could not attain 230 for PSLE
2) Could not score A2 for GCE 'O'-Levels Chinese Language
3) Could not get average grade 3 for diploma
4) Could not get into OCS during BMT
5) Did not become an Air Force pilot as can't pass their test
6) Could not get into local university
7) Could not get my Taekwondo black belt despite taking the test TWICE
8) Prolly unable to become YES93.3FM DJ 'cause no reply since I last sent my demo and can't even do well for their competitions
9) Probably unable to get my distinction degree (highly likely)

And the list goes on... But prolly because of all these failures, I found new loves and passion...
1) Found my darling during a countdown party crossing over from 2005 to 2006 in MoS
2) Found new interest in hip hop dancing but due to commitments and age, can't pursue too much
3) Have the courage to stand on stage, addressing crowds of more than 300 people
4) Have the chance to qualify to top 10 in a small small radio competition
5) Have the strength to carry on studying part time even though it is really damn tough to manage
6) Found love to club and party as life is really short
7) Dare to be loud in public and not afraid of looking stupid (in a logical manner of course)

This list is a lil shorter though... But whatever the case is, I just hope that I don't lose hope too fast.

On a lighter note, days are drawing closer towards Taiwan trip. Gosh... So near yet so far...

949. rich son, poor son

Rant of the day: Deadline... Deadline... Deadline... Kill me please!!!

It's closer to project presentation deadline. I'm sorta getting stressed up. And plus the workload in office starts to pile now. Not sure if I can manage it this time round.

Getting really tired... There's so much thoughts racing me about this project but yet I don't think I should be blogging about it. Not sure how much people can absorb constructive criticism and rather stirring up emotions, think I better keep within myself.

All I have to say is, grade truthfully from the heart in the peer appraisal. Who should get the best grade and who's the lowest... touch your heart and answer these honestly. No one should get together and discuss who gets what grade. This is not Survival TV show where the "tribe speaks". You speak for yourself.

Anyway, saw this really meaningful video on YouTube. Rich son, poor son.

Which kinda son would you rather have when you are old?

Oh... I didn't mention that my family off peak car (OPC) is here!!! Kia Cerato Forte. Extremely spacious and comfortable. Pretty good drive also. The only minus point is that the steering wheel is a lil too light for male driver. I would prefer a slightly heavier steering wheel. But overall, I grade it 4 out of 5. Good drive. Can buy...

Will take photos when I got the time. =P
