997. something wrong

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:56:00 +0000

Rant of the day: The paper is soooooooo tough!!!

I am not sure why but there is seriously something wrong with my hotmail account. I cannot read nor delete any emails lah gawd dammit!!! And I need to send an email to all my project members now!!! ROAR!!!

It's a week with 3 work days for me and I can't wait!!! Woohoo~~~

Wait... I've still got a Wiki project to complete by 1 December. Shucks.

996. massage

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:35:00 +0000

Word of the day: Ginormous, that's giant + enourmous or extremely huge. Heard this word from a kid no older than 6 years old!!! But I'm hearing it for the first time!!!

I thought there might be something wrong with my speakers. I keep hearing "zzzzzzz" sound. After unplugging some of the USB ports, realised it's actually the laptop fan underneath. So noisy... Maybe it's sleepy? Hahaha...

Dear treated me to a massage session at the Civil Service Club as a after study treat.

A cup of ginger tea before the session starts.

Cheers! The ginger taste better in Bintan. Here, it's really only ginger. Can't taste any sugar in it. Maybe because they wanna make it healthier?

Waiting for my turn. We sort of booked late and have to use the individual rooms. If bookings are made earlier, we can share the same room and probably use the jacuzzi as well...

Didn't take any pictures when I'm doing the massage. Duh... But after the massage, have a complimentary dessert. It's burbur hitam (black glutinous rice dessert)!!! I like!!! And it has no coconut milk in it!!! I like!!!

The massage was ok. Somewhat similar to those I had tried in Bintan. But what I like about this place is the environment. Comfortable. Cosy. And definitely, it comes with a hefty price of $180 for about an hour. Ouch!!! But we had it for only $18 each 'cause dear have this complimentary trial session offer from her office. Not bad sia. 90% discount!!! Hahaha...

Love you dear! Muacks!

I'm having alot of white hair. Hate it. Need to get them dyed before going Taiwan for countdown at the end of the year. I wanna be "picture perfect". Hahaha... =P

995. please press one... now...

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:31:00 +0000

Rant of the day: Cool early morning made it dreadful to wake up...

Watch this now...

"Please press 1... Now..."

Doesn't it reflects the customer helpline in these days? Transfer here and there. One stop service is not exactly possible actually. Probably something that was caused by the ISO... Set in place procedures and standards in the company, gateways will be created.

Presentation in a while I hope... Wish me luck...

994. in response...

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:37:00 +0000

Rant of the day: Test on Monday... Sucks...

In response to some queries to post 992, the person is NOT Nykole. No need to guess eiither as the name will not be publish here in relation to the post. This is to protect the ~~innocent~~ affected.

Anyway, new song by one of my favourite Korean group, 2PM. Here's Heartbeat.

Find this MV a lil "dark". Not sure why but perhaps that's what the director wanted maybe? So, listen to my heartbeat...

993. tough decision

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:24:00 +0000

Rant of the day: I've got wrinkles... Lotsa it!!!

Saw this in an email circulation in office. Read and think... If you are in the scenario, what will you do?

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.

The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed.

Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make................

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess.

Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.

But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.

This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.

If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe.

If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.

How true can it be right? So, what will you do now? This is why I hate to be a decision maker and in my job, I need to make ethical decisions almost every single day.

*sigh*

It's hard to please everyone. Really...

992. an unexpected proposal

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:11:00 +0000

Quote of the day: Holly... Bolly... Bolly... Holly... Different wood... same dream...

The verbal proposal came unexpectedly. I wouldn't term it as indecent but it is indeed hard to understand where she's coming from. She knew deep in her heart that we cannot work together, so why suddenly asked to join the group? I mean have have no issue with her as a person, a classmate and of course, a friend. She is a nice lady with really warm smiles but not as co-worker. Things definitely will not work out.

S, B and I were discussing (bitching rather) on what are the possibilities of such weird proposal and we sorta came up with a few explanations:
1) She wanna bury the hatchet (but we weren't enemies to start with!!!)
2) She have issues with her teamsssssss style
3) Others having issues with her working style

Probably 2 and 3. Probably because of the way we worked and that could be the reason why we could not see eye to eye with one another's ideas but we tried (at least I tried) to keep everything professional. Nothing personal seriously. Work is work.

Anyway, I did mentioned to S that I might change group in the last module. Not sure if she still remembers. Hahahaha. So, the lady's request might just come true next module (without me of course). Hahahaha... And she wouldn't have any issues with my ideas as well. Perfect right? Hahahaha...

Splitting up and a change of environment might sometimes be good. A chance for exposure to more working styles. A chance to listen to more kinda ideas we probably will not see it on an individual perspective. And probably a chance to know not to take things for granted and be complacent about the surroundings.

But I had been hearing things and feeling negative emotions against me in class when I talk to people... Who doesn't in some way or another right? Unless you are super popular in class lah. Hahaha... Unlikely... Everyone has our own flaws. No one is perfect but don't use this as an excuse to skiv. Neither is the word "busy". Who is not? I really hate it when people use this word and happily not involve in anything. When you are doing group work, you are not only answerable for yourself, but also the other group members as well.

Not selling myself but I'm not exactly a hard person to work with honestly. I would rather to work in groups with heavy discussions that are constructive and suggestive. So for those who are reading my blog and have been listening to rumours about my character and the way I work, seriously, if you believe every single shit, I think you are damn messed up. Nothing is for real until you experience it yourself. If it took you soooooo long and only to realise it now or even later, damn, it's time for some serious reflection!!!

'Nuff said. Just wanna rant off some things off my mind. But also, appreciate all those whom had been defending me when someone talks bad about me. Thank you!!! And to those whom had been speaking ill of me, hope you studied communication law and don't land yourself into a libel or slander case.

I feel a lil lighter already!!!

Nights peeps =)

991. just some updates

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:39:00 +0000

Rant of the day: Rain rain go away...

Haven't been blogging here for a few days. Lazy, yes. Tired, maybe. And perhaps all the blogging "urges" are vented on the class blog. We need to publish 3 posts each for assessment. Crappy but something different from the norm. No more written assignments to be handed over in hardcopies. Fantastic isn't it?

Something mushy... 4 days not meeting dear kills. Monday, class. Tuesday, class. Wednesday, poly class gathering. Thursday, class. We are left with Friday evening, Saturday evening and Sunday. Having class from morning till evening on Saturdays. Sucks big time.

Anyway, find this module an interesting one. Final 2 modules and I'm done with it! Yeah!!! ^^v

Dear sort of found this emcee job for me on next Saturday. Things ain't finalised but from the brief description of the guest, I'm not exactly confident of taking up the task... even if it pays well. I don't wanna risk my mass comm future for blunders made. It will be a chance for experience and exposure but will it also be the first and last? I don't exactly got the experience to emcee for shows. The one I'd done for wedding and one for company event ain't enough.

Oh well... We'll see. Probably hearing that I've got no experience, they'll not even consider me for the job.

Gotta catch Paranormal Activities this Sunday!!! Woohoo~~~

990. school rants

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:56:00 +0000

Rant of the day: I'm pretty lost in Wordpress interface actually...

I hate "getting into groups" for group assignments. I really hate it. If I am given the option to choose, I'll of course get into my preferred group. But sometimes, choices are hard to decide isn't it? Perhaps I just don't have the courage to stand up and step out for myself. Or perhaps, I just don't wanna make things difficult for others. I don't wanna be the subject where peeps say I'm autocratic anymore.

*sigh*

Life is hard isn't it? That's probably the reason why I prefer to work on individual assignments instead. Even though it's tiring but at least I'm pretty much spared from gossips, hatred and freeloaders.

Done some calculation in office earlier and realised my current GPA is about 2.89 something something. And I will need 1 distinction and 2 high distinctions in order to graduate with a distinction degree (no honours programme for my degree and this is sorta replacement). It's hard to get that remaining 3 grades ok. Practically, almost impossible for me. Gonna try though. At least I'd tried. I've already done alot better than what I had previously during my poly days hor!!!

Shifting away from the above rants, dear is sick again. Flu bug seems to love her this year. Shoo shoo! Go away you bugger!!! Stop infecting my gal!!! ROAR!!! Hope she get well soon. But I think I ain't any better as well. Been sneezing on and off throughout the day. Darn! Drink water...

989. today

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:54:00 +0000

Rant of the day: 孝子或恋人，如何选择？？？

I'm not exactly sure why but today ain't the best weekend. Just whacked the hell out of Deric. He had been peeing at all the wrong places and seriously, dog's pee smells damn freaking bad!!! If you don't clean it up on time, it's gonna stink up the whole house.

You wouldn't wanna see how I hit my dog. It's scary...

*sigh*

Was telling dear how fortunate some peeps are. Sometimes, we just need to be borned into the right family and have that silver spoon in the mouth. What you want, you got it. Money. Cash. Food. Freedom. Girls. Car. People like me gotta work damn fucking hard to just have enough to spare while some others just let their mouth do the job -- say what they want. Not giving a blowjob you dirty ass...

*sigh*

When I reincarnate in my next life, I hope that I can be borned into such homes. If I want to study, just say it. If I want a nice place to stay, just say it. If I want cash, just say it. If I want a car, just say it. Just use the mouth... and say it... Don't need to work so hard.

On a lighter note, it's less than 2 months time to my Taiwan trip!!! At least I'm proud to say that I finance myself for my own stuff. Hahaha... Ain't cheap to travel but managed to plan and save enough for everything in this trip. I'm taking SQ ok!!! Not those chup-pa-lang airways hor!!! Mai siao siao...

Time to start preparing the list of items to buy for the trip. I've already got my down feather jacket. Need to check if my house got a luggage bag big enough for my trip. And, locks as well... Toiletries??? Medication??? Oh. Gotta remember to buy ginger tea mix as well. It's winter at Taiwan. Not snowing though but it's definitely much much colder than Singapore.

Can't wait for the trip. It's countdown at Taipei 101. Woohoo~~~

Saw this funny clip in Facebook and should share with everyone. The difference between male and female orgasm.

Hahahahahaha... Some parts are indeed quite true. Hahahahahahaha...

988. wet thursday

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:56:00 +0000

Rant of the day: Office freezing cold lah!!!

It's a super wet Thursday. Been raining cats and dogs since morning and weather outside is soooooo cooling. But somehow, it doesn't feel as cool in my bedroom. I hope it will not be so wet tomorrow. It's Friday!!! Please, keep it dry...

Falling sick and had been sneezing since morning. Probably caused by the change in climate. I'm not the only one sneezing actually. There're like another 3 - 4 staff sneezing as well!!! Great... The flu is back but was saved by Clarinase. I can't fall sick at this time. It's soooooo busy and if I'm down, the workload will be flooded when I'm back. Can't afford that...

*sigh*

So low morale everytime I look at the mailbox. Managed to clear most of the emails and kept it no more than 25 this morning in the inbox. But after lunch, the inbox had 44 emails!!! Cleared a lil more to about 33 and after I'm back from conducting workshop, it jumped to 60!!! WTF!!! Kill me please!!!

I can't imagine I have to go through this tomorrow again. Sian...

987. wearing out

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:56:00 +0000

Rant of the day: Stress~~~

I'm tired... Mentally and physically. I'm wearing out soon...

Mentally tired because the 2 weeks "break" from work ain't helping. Alot more work now!!! Because one is on leave for roughly 2 weeks since last week and another will be on leave for 2 weeks. All having exams. Shucks. Exam month. Good luck to Joanne and Hasanah anyway.

Physically tired because I had been working out 3 times a week. Vigorously!!! Gym twice on weekdays and swim on either Saturday or Sunday. Desperately hoping that I can just lose that few more kilos. Fat lah!!! Wanna look better in clothes, especially when I'm at Taiwan this coming December. My jacket is so thick that if I'm fat, I'll look even fatter with the jacket on. Have to push push push...

*sigh*

Like this song by 张惠妹(阿密特) titled 彩虹(Rainbow).

She's splendid isn't she? Love her vocals. Damn powerful. And I love her new image. That white locks. Totally cool lah!!!

986. supermassive black hole

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:06:00 +0000

News of the day: Got anther emcee assignment for another office function. So now I'm the "official" emcee for the division???

I know it's a bit outdated but I really super like this song by Muse lah... It's Supermassive Black Hole people!!!

Oh baby don't you know I suffer?

Oh baby can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretences
How long before you let me go?

Oooo... You set my soul alight
Oooo... You set my soul alight

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(You set my soul alight)

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(You set my soul)

I thought I was a fool for no one
Oh baby I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth

Oooo... You set my soul alight

Oooo... You set my soul alight

Glaciers melting in the dead of night

And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(You set my soul alight)

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(You set my soul)

Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(You set my soul alight)

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(You set my soul)
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole

985. 1... 2... 3...

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:43:00 +0000

Rant of the day: Very full~~~

It's Britney and her new single, 3!!! Gawd... She's sooooooo hawt!!!

When will she release the next one? It's seems like after all her sex and drugs drama, she is slowly getting back on track. Probably for her kids...

984. halloween night

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:53:00 +0000

Rant of the day: I'm super broke now...

It's been quite a while since I'd last visited Marche @ Vivocity. Seriously love the food there. Went back with dear on Saturday evening before going for Halloween party.

The weather ain't promising and we were pretty drenched when we were queueing. My attempt to capture the lightning on my Omnia failed after several tries. The rain didn't make the crowd budge even a lil. Everyone just crowded even closer to get some warmth and hoping peeps inside quickly finish their bite.

Good thing about only having 2 peeps -- get your seat faster. Hahaha... We almost got our seats immediately the moment we stepped into Marche and notifying the staff that we have only 2 of us. Bleah. Got the seats. Put our stuff down. Grab the Marche cards. Off to order!!! It's munching time!!!

Order a Spanish Paelle (seafood rice with prawns, chicken and loads of green pepper). Then, our favourite dish of mixed vegetables, mainly mushrooms and baby potatoes. And not forgetting the catch-of-the-day, Brown Garoupa with Pumpkin and Mashed Potato. This is seriously good stuff. It's my first time eating pumpkin mashed with potato and it's damn good lah!!! Very thirsty after the long queue. Ordered the lemongrass green apple tea. Shiok!!! And to end off the dinner, a delicious fruit pie filled with strawberries and grapes.

Sedap...

But of course, it's not exactly cheap lah. Good food comes with a price. Hahaha... Just a simple meal like this cost almost $50. Ouch!!! But considering all the good food we had, it's worth it (once in a while of course).

Halloween party last night was... well... pretty fun but it could have been alot better. Now I fully understand why most of my friends don't go clubbing with their gf. Shan't talk about it too much. I'm pretty sure for those whom are attached and goes clubbing with their gf will know what I meant.

We were originally planning to go crazy at Butter Factory but the queue was horrendous!!! And the worse thing was, they do not have a designated queue for those paying clubbers not opting for the free entry with costumes!!! This is totally fuck up. I'm paying to go in mind you. I'm not going in for free. Why let us queue and wait with all other "monsters" in the line??? Makes no sense at all. Reason why Zouk's management plans and serves better for those who are prepared to PAY money for entry.

Kevin suggested to go SOHO (Social House) at Liang Court.

There wasn't any queue to talk about! So happy! Like what Kevin said, the crowd probably went to try their luck at the larger clubs like Zouk, Zirca and Rebel.

In my attempt to look a lil more like vampire or Garra (a character from Naruto anime), I drew eye-liner if you realised... and it's a freaking painful experience lah!!! Dear tried drawing for me when we were still at Vivocity queueing for cab down to Fullerton. And there times where my eyes almost got poked!!! But dear had been really gentle. Unlike Arina, when she continue to draw it blacker and thicker, she literally drew like she's sketching on drawing board lah!!!

I probably might not draw this eye-liner thingy again. Because I look like those Changi bah-pok (gay) instead of vampire lah...

Dear is soooooooo fair that she already look like a vampire when my Omnia flashes during photo-taking. She's the delicious vampire ready to take blood from any guy who tries to touch her. Hahahahaha... You know, ~~Jennifer's~~ YaYa's Body...

Growl~~~

Here's Kevin and Arina.

He likes his white hat I realised. What's with that cheeking smile, Kevin? Yes, I know your hat very nice. You lack that ultra curly hair else, you look like MJ.

Something I like about SOHO is that they've got fantastic deco and dance poles in the centre of the dancefloor!!! The early of the night started really slow. The crowd were soooooo quiet and boring. But we had fun enjoying peeps and the poles. Here's some pictures...

The nice and beautiful to one pole and the scary to another one please.

From the above photo, the white and fat "dead" bride was calling out to her another "dead" friend, who decided to look for a "larger" pole that suits her size.

So size do matter actually...

The club actually got alot more happening as the night goes late. The dancefloor was crowded!!! But, sad to say, we left early... Will go back again some day but probably, not with gangs that brings gf. I don't wanna waste $30 again...

Come to think about it, I don't have many friends that still club nowadays. Sad...

983. highlighter

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:57:00 +0000

Question of the day: Should I go Halloween party?

Now I also have the cute lil highlighter with 5 colours in the shape of a flower!!! Think it will be pretty useful for my final 2 modules before I finish my Bachelor in Mass Communication.

This highlighter ain't cheap. Cost me $10!!! But it's actually a donation for the upcoming President's Challenge and Jingyi (branch rep for all these stuff) came around ~~forcing~~ persuading people to donate.

Anything lah. It's for a good cause also. Plus, I get to enjoy the tax deduction next year!!! Hahaha... But the highlighter a lil big hor? Not very convenient to bring to school actually. Can't even squeeze into my pencil case. Hmmmmmm...

Anyway, it comes in 5 useful colours (blue, pink, orange, yellow, green). Not bad lah. But the ink level ain't that much. Have to "ration" out carefully when I highlight my notes.

Wait. 10 years of giving? This event had been around for 10 years? Wow... I didn't realise that.

It's Halloween night tomorrow and we are still discussing whether to go party or not. Past experience at Zouk was freaking pack!!! Barely enough space to move, not say dance on the dancefloor. This time round, thinking of going to Butter Factory but it states on their website that it will experience full house. Shucks. Then, what time do we need to queue sia? 9pm? That is like super early lor!!! Think by the time we enter the club, my cosmetic all smudge le lah!!!

Ain't going in costume but if we are really going, probably going to draw eye-liner and paint my nails black. Dear suggested I colour my face white as well. Right... Her ~~sexual~~ fantasy over vampires... I hate you Robert Pattinson!!! Look at what you had done to my girl!!!

982. cursing and swearing

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:54:00 +0000

Rant of the day: I don't deserve all the nonsense... Stop abusing the word "customer service". It's only meant for people who appreciate it. You are NOT fit to use the word.

I had a pretty average day from morning till evening. But anything after 6pm are seriously FUCKED UP!!! This post will contain ALOT of cursing and swearing. So do not continue reading if those words sting your eyes...

To the bitch who wanna complain me, go ahead and try me. Just go... I'd been nice enough to slowly explain the rationale of our rejection to your appeal but you had been a serious fuck up bitch.

Nobody here ever told you to make changes to your whatever system before you apply for our stuff. You wanna go ahead to buy this and that, seriously, it's your own fucking problem. None of our business. Don't throw your problem to us and say it's our fault.

And if our information are all on the OFFICIAL website and you don't fucking care to read and find out, don't blame us for not informing the public. The website is there for a purpose. Don't expect every little thing to be published on the newspaper. Use your fucking brain can? If Singapore press ever do that, your daily newspaper will be as thick as your Yellow Pages you dumb ass.

It's your own respnsiblity to find out all the adequate before acting upon. Stop saying "last time... last time...". Last time police wear shorts ok. Last time one big packet of chicken rice was only S$2. Talk like idiot. Only change is constant so stop comparing last time.

Seriously pissed off and that set off my bad day after that...

Shortness of breath. Packed gym. Dirty lift. Hunger. Cockroaches. Ridiculous mood swings. Smelly idiot at the petrol kiosk. More dirty lifts.

To the fucker who likes to pee in the lift, I hope you get herpes. KNNBCCB!!! Every evening pee in the lift. Your house got fucking no toilet is it? CCB!!! The lift is NOT a toilet. I repeat... The lift is NOT a toilet. If cannot tahan can wear adult pampers lah!!!

It Friday soon and yet seriously no mood for almost anything. Oh please... Make my day better.

981. new blog

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:46:00 +0000

Rant of the day: Busy in office ah!!! Emails piling all of the sudden!!!

I'd just published my first post on a food blog that I'd recently created. All opinions are just personal views. Nothing discriminating. The photos are also taken personally (not by any professional photographer) as long as the stores do not have any signages that says "No photography".

Do visit here if you have the time and needed some eating references.

I hope I can have enough time to maintain it for as long as I can. =P

980. school fees

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:34:00 +0000

Rant of the day: It's only the mid week... *sigh*

Safer sex for human beings ya. At least the male don't end up as food for the lady.

My body is aching after gym session yesterday. Darn... I need some quality massage!!!

Paid my school fees earlier and got really pissed off as my credit card exceeded the limit! Have to use my debit from another bank to pay for the fees. Sian. There goes my reward points. So sad. But anyway, I'd accumulated more than 4500 points! Think I can redeem pretty good stuff at the end of the year.

Yeah!!!

This is the last school fees (I hope) and really having mixed feelings about it. I have to puke out close to $3400 for the fees. On the other hand, it's the LAST payment, which means I'm graduating soon!!! I'm still hoping for a degree with distinction even though this hopeful thought is diminishing fast everytime the result is released for past modules. I'm getting worse grade recently as compared to the initial modules.

Pray hard. Crossing fingers.

979. back in office

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:57:00 +0000

Rant of the day: School fees deadline on Wednesday. Fark!!!

First day back in office after my 2 weeks ICT and it's HELL!!! I'm like so lost and totally not in the mood to work. But no choice... There're emails to clear. Confirmation to send. Class to conduct. Attendance to prepare. Calls to make. Queries to close. And hey, I've also got COMPLIMENTS!!! Haha... It's received from today's workshop and I'm glad that it happened to brighten up my day a lil.

Conducting the class today seemed odd. I'm a lil lost of what to say actually and had to pause to think what's next. But it appears that the attendees seem welcoming of such short pause.

Work aside. Dear wanna gym today after work as we are both getting fat since the Bintan trip. And seriously... alot fatter!!! So we needed the workout and sweat it out. The exercise is damn siong. This is the result of not keeping a consistent workout regime. I'm sooooooo totally out of breath lah!

Think I need this now after gym...

Total cuteness lah!!! Cat massaging cat!!! Awwwwwwww...

978. brilliant clip

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 04:37:00 +0000

Rant of the day: Sleepy~~~ Too much late night online drama...

This is totally brilliant!!!

Love it!!! Can they do it at Novena too? Hahaha...

Anyway, Night Safari was pretty ok last night. It's the Halloween theme. Pretty cool actually. Heard screams everywhere but in order for you to fully "enjoy" the scare, you must really drop the full awareness of the surrounding. Else everything will seemed too pre-empt. My camera is still with dear. Photos only after I get my camera back.

977. totally shingz up

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 08:58:00 +0000

Rant of the day:

End of my reservist!!! Yeah!!! But I've got many more to go... Oh sucks big time ya.

Wasn't exactly in a good mood today. In fact, I was really in the dulan mood since morning till now! Thought alot of things were already confirmed and cash paid. But turned out to be the wrong day and I had already made arrangement for other events and activities!!!

Rant of the day: Tired...

This reservist is damn siong... as compared to the last one of course. I am seriously running on a sleep debt... Imagine only about 8 hours of sleep for more than 2 days...

And if you think Singapore got no desert, think again... GOT LOR!!! And it is fucking hot lah!!! And imagine staying there overnight~~~ It's a total torture!!! Poor Elvin. Think he got minor heat stroke after staying on the damn hot place for about 6 hours and required me to cover him for the rest of the 10 odd hours. He mentioned he practically drank most of the water but he is not peeing out anything and heat was building up till he almost fainted. So sad...

But it is an experience worth remembering but not for repeating lah. Hahahaha... Fat chance.

Anyway, it's the final day tomorrow for this cycle. It's been fun meeting up the old pals from the platoon and hope everyone will be doing fine in the near future.

Dear introduced a new TV drama series to catch online, The Vampire Diaries. Only watched the first episode and I think it is seriously like what dear mentioned -- low budget show. The cast ain't attractive at all. It is also a lil too "rush" in the first episode. Somewhat like catching the train? Story seems a lil too weak but dear says it will be much better by the time I catch the 5th episode. Hope so too.

It's a Halloween night out at the Night Safari tomorrow night!!! Heard it's damn scary!!! YEAH!!!

975. birthday dinner

Rant of the day: A Toyota Vios tried to out run me... The key word is "tried". Try harder next time. Thank you.

Internet is damn cranky today. Something is wrong!!! Took me aeons to login to Blogger. Facebook is not even able to load. Page errors. My blog post is not able to save as draft.

WTF!!!

But it seems to be intermittent issues.

Anyway, celebrated mum and lil brother birthday. Mum's birthday was actually yesterday while lil brother's is coming Tuesday. Ate out at Xing Wang Taiwan Cafe @ Citylink Mall.

Brother, Kelly and mummy.

Mummy, me and dear.

The longest order list I've seen so far... We literally ordered a table of food~~~

Bought mummy a Coach clutch purse for her lunch usage. Big enough for cash, card and staff pass. She is totally delighted to see this!

And lil brother a Massimo Dutti a keychain for all his keys. He used it almost immediately when he got home. Haha... Proved 100% useful!!!

Here comes the food!!! 5 main courses. 4 sides. 5 drinks. And the table barely have anymore space for more. But it is alot more affordable then going to the posh Chinese restaurants.

Family group photo before leaving. Say cheez!!!

Before ending the post, just back a lil on today's lunch. Knowing that I love eating beef alot, dear brought me to this beef noodle stall at Kovan Central.

Go find this stall at block 203 kopithiam. But be there early to avoid disappointment. We reached around 1pm and queued for 30min and only found out that they only left with soup based. No dry based... Try to be there at around 12noon instead.

The soup based beef noodles @ $3.50.

The portion is huge lah! Plus, they are really generous with the beef meat and intestinal mixes. Cooked to almost perfection. Very tender and the soup is very very delicious. I'm pretty sure that they prepared the soup with lotsa herbs.

MUST TRY!!!

974. aries man

Rant of the day: Sleepy le~~~

Dear sent me this on Aries man. True mah? Till a certain extend, it is pretty true lah... My remarks all coloured accordingly as follows:

1) Very very true.
2) Not necessary. Depends on situation/issue.
3) Not true!!!

Here goes... About my horoscope... Aries, 21 March to 19 April...

He always let other people walk in front of him, but he will get there first. He is a very careful guy and small obstacles won't make him fall easily even he thinks life is a very serious matter. He is as romantic as any other Zodiac. He could look gentle, but inside he is as strong as steel. Once he determine to do something, he is serious about doing it well. He will keep any pressure or insult deep down inside without showing emotion. You will never see his emotion of burden or disappointment and always wonder what he thinks or feels. He will well kept his feeling.

You will never see a guy in this Zodiac involving in other people business. He always concern with his own business. Sometimes he can be talkative, but he will never give anyone advice if he has not been asked. If you ask for advice, he will certainly give you one. He respects elderly and senior, so you will see he is the type who visit his parents steadily or often.

He is a slightly shy but also a stubborn person. He will find many ways to make you happy when you are with him, till you realize he is the important person for you. Once he is in the "Power Position", he will use his power gently. He is a good leader and "Gentleness" is one of his effective method for exploiting his power. It is although he is borne to be a leader. He never hide his ambition, and he is a workaholic. He will not take any position that he has no control. He will work very hard to reach his goal and satisfaction.

Compliment from his boss or superior are never enough for him, he want his deserved reward. His deep insecurity make him reach and collecting valuable things, and this you may think he is stingy. Actually he could easily spending money to buy things, traveling or pay for things that makes him happy and he think necessary for his need. He care what other people think of him and want to get good comments or compliments.

Outside he looks like stone and steel, but inside he is a fragile person. He will hide and cover up weak emotion and his sadness in order to maintain and keep up his "Image". One method of cover up you could easily notice is suddenly if he is quiet, cold, or act very strong or very secure. Often, he feels insecure, even he is serious about his life and his own surrounding.

This is the man who never hurry to get marry, so hardly sit back and regret about his marriage later. If he gets marry, he need to be very certain and very sure. It will take a long time for such decision, so if you tell him that you are "breaking up" , you better forget him for good because he will never coming back.

He always keep his promise. If he said he will meet you in your place in 2 hours then he will be there, unless there is a serious accident or unavoidable things happen. He hate people who is late for date or any appointment. He like to think woman should be a follower and take care of family and working is a man duty. He does not like to compete with his girl friend or his wife at work because competition already exist with himself and other people. He will be very proud if he can afford and care for his family. Do not try to over power him or insult him, he can not stand it. He likes to be in control of every things, every situations.

He like a "Classy Woman" ,if she also comes from a good family then it is a plus. It will make him feel proud and very ego about her status. Flashy type of woman , forget it. He like a perfect or a nearly perfect housewife. He tend to be possessive. He will not tell you if he is mad at you, but will act very moody to show you instead.

He like to hear sweet word and compliment so you can get his interest that way. If he approaches you to ask you out, do not act too stubborn or fooling around too much. He will get tired and just disappear. He has to feel confident when he is around you, so knowing this fact you should know what to do, right!

If you want him, you have to make him feel like he is the most important person for you. He likes a kind hearted woman , polite and can get along with his family. When he feels sad, do not leave him alone, but be very supportive. Kind words and your smile will win him over, so this strong man will be like a chicken in your palm.

Hmmmmmmm... What you peeps think? True mah? Alot of green leh... I think I'm pretty much a typical Aries guy actually.

973. chinchilla

noreply@blogger.com (Rice) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:29:00 +0000

Joy of the day: Loves sambal stingray at Chomp Chomp! Sedap!

Awwwwwwww... Chinchilla is soooooooo cute!!!

They are easy to maintain. No need to bathe literally. Just bath dust. No need to brush so frequent like dogs. Eat very little. Quiet. Cute. Doesn't shit around (unless free roaming in the house). Friendly. Can train to do basic moves.

Absolute cuteness lah!!!

But it's not cheap. Cost around S$600 to S$3000!!! And this exclude the cage and the barang barang in the cage. Plus, best to maintain in cool homes perferably with aircon on 24hrs.

Expensive sia...

If I have the money, I will buy... But unfortunately, I'm not rich...
