Quote of the day: Eh, Joanne ah... Lih deng lai liao ah. Jiak ba buay?
The song that always gives me goosebumps but I like. Minnie Riperton's Loving You.
Ok la. The video abit old but this DOES NOT reflect my age ok. I'm still young. I'm still 热血青年 (young and hot-blooded). Haha...
Dear, I'm loving you too. =)
Rant of the day: Wallet very empty now. So sad...
I kinda got afraid of October... It's like almost a birthday month! Everyday I see Friendster birthday alert and it's not one or two, but a whole chunk of BIRTHDAYS!!! And you know what this means -- presents. I'd already paid like close to $400 for mum and brother's birthday stuff and so, I'm not buying anyone else's birthday present this year.
It's barely 2 weeks from my last pay day and I'm suffocating. Broke lar. Gimme a break... *sobz*
Since I'm not buying anything, I'd gotta wish ALL those October babies whom I know, a happy birthday. Wish you all the best. Wishes on blog is free. Muahahaha...
Presentation is just around the corner and things are not exactly on track but neither off track. Hope that everythng is gonna be fine and there's more to be done back in office!!! I'm drowning soon. Hello hello... Can someone throw me a float? I don't have enough fats to keep me floating...
Anyway, new single from Wonder Girls -- Nobody. Love the MTV. Talking about synchronised dance group, this is what I call 默契!!! Enjoy.
Rant of the day: I'm so tired...
Not sure how many how you had already been here -- Southern Ridges. It's damn nice. Start from Harbour Front and end at the Hortpark, somewhere at the Alexandra area.
Had a chance to visit here earlier, from an event organised by Civil Service Club. I didn't want to shoot the woman actually but she just happened to be there when I took the shot.
Look at the number of attendees!!! "People mountian people sea" lor!!!
We were "bashing" through the floral and fauna, enjoying the seriously fresh air. But the journey is no joke. Almost climbing steps for at least 1km! So, if you seriously wanna come here, please be mentally perpared to climb and sweat ALOT.
By the time we reached Mount Faber, I'm already dripping sweat. Here's Jewel Box. If I'm ever rich, I'll visit here and enjoy.
I'm very attracted to this bridge. Look at the curves! It's like a wave through the canopy. The bridge is actually straight. It does not requires us to climb up and down la.
And this the the "curve" of the bridge. It's actually sort of a resting spot but without a proper shelter. Weird eh...
Closer to the final portion of the walk, there's this really nice canopy trail.
Anyway, didn't win any lucky draw. Think I'm not so lucky now. Quite down in luck rather. So, quickly left the place after the prizes were all given away. Rushing back home because it's mum's birthday!!! Brother and I had shared a HUGE gift for her this year. Yes, it cost us a bomb...
It's OSIM uSqueeze!!! Mum had been complaining the bad aches she's experiencing at her calves due to aging issue. So, we seriously hope this will help mum to relief her pain. Here she is, enjoying the good massage. I felt though a lil costly but totally worth the money.
End of today with mum's favourite strawberry shortcake. It's brother's birthday on Monday, so they sort of cut the cake together and celebrate together. There's gonna be a second round of celebration tomorrow at Marche. Hope mum will love it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY!!!
Rant of the day: Why do I feel so lonely?
如果我无牵挂、无后顾之忧的话，我昨天可能会在会议里跟老板说：“If I cannot produce the expected results by YA2010, I'll tender. But if I can, I want to take over TKL's position. If you cannot promise me this, I want to resign from the project team lead.”
是自己想，自己爽的啦！哈哈。没办法啦，我有太多太多的顾虑必须考量了。我输不起……我真的输不起……
有妈妈。有女朋友。要读书。要吃饭。要喝水。有开销。公共交通。没庞大储蓄。你说我能这样的挑战老板吗？面子不是问题，因为我皮厚。我thick skin啦。但是一旦输了，对身边的人和日常起居的影响很大。赌注太大，但是筹码不够。不能玩啊。
轻松一点，一个小玩笑让大家笑一下。谢了P38。
有个男人去用餐。
男人：bo bo cha cha 多少钱？
女招待：摸摸插插五十。
男人：虾面呢？
女招待：下面一百。
男人：水饺呢？
女招待：睡觉两百。
男人惊问：一碗呢？
女招待：一晚五百。
Rant of the day: Protect my sanity...
我是水做的男人。不是因为流的汗多，而是因为眼泪多……
我哭，不是因为我娘娘腔，而是因为我对“悲伤”和“感伤”控制能力较差。我就是一个这样独特的男人。感动就哭，高兴就笑。情绪都一目了然的写在脸上。是优点，也是缺点。但是抒发后，也会心情平静下来。别为我担心。哭后的我会好过一些。
今天的meeting真的让我无言以对。我像是个夹心饼中间那层cream，被两个上司夹得紧紧的。说出我的不满也不是。不说出我的不满也不对。我就好像哑巴吃黄连，有苦难言……基本上，there's nothing I can say。现在，我只想好好得快点做完我份内的whatever shit然后就准备明年的繁忙期。时间快转吧……
当然，挨了训后也至少有一点头绪。Facilitator没facilitate好的后果就是这样。只能怪我自己倒霉。一方面是蛮高兴高层给对我有些许的认同，但另一方面，我为什么会中这位facilitator？倒霉倒大了！我对这类型的project是完全没有头绪。当你没有头绪时，也不知道该往哪一方面问。没关系。当你有问题向问时，有深怕facilitator给你一个完全没帮助的三小时的答案。两方的老板又似乎反自己的话。
我又能说什么呢？Die咯……自己顾自己咯。
当然，还是很谢谢传关心简讯的朋友。你们是真的很重要的。如果有一天，我忍无可忍的必须先行告退时，我一定会想念你们的。由你们这些关心我的同事在身旁，是我的福气。谢谢你们！有你们在的日子，生活过得没那么苦。
Rant of the day: Why is the disgusting condom still on the pavement?
Year 2 has finally ended with the result for the last module. It's the first time in life where I felt I had sort of achieved something (finally achieved something you loser). I think I deserved a pat on my back. I had never been academically inclined. My results usually lingers around the pass grade since primary level.
Ever since the starting of tertiary studies, my brain perhaps had sort of tell me to buck up. I had finally done something to make myself proud.
8 modules in total for year 2 and 8 more modules in final year. For those who didn't realised, I'd skipped year 1. Elementary year was exempted. Phew!
Results so far had been encouraging but not fantastic though. Could had been better if I work even harder.

Looks nice but the results actually hangs on the edge. Just 2 credits might stop me from flying over to Australia for graduation and get my degree with distinction. I cannot afford any credits. But results for final year seems to be very uncertain. Too many competition but yes, I do like friendly competitions sometimes... I must work harder!!!
I must do well. I must do myself proud. I must do my mum proud.
Rant of the day: I am getting sick of my job.
While sending dear home, we saw the most disgusting thing on the pavement... make a guess...
Poop? Nope.
Pee? Nah. We see that almost everyday in the lift.
Somebody's undigested dinner? Haha. Nah...
A bunch of dead roaches? Incorrect. This is not disgusting. This is scary!
Used sanitary pad? Somewhere along the line but not correct.
Dirty undies? That's not exactly the most disgusting thing to find on a pavement.
We saw a used condom!!! WTF!!!
A USED CONDOM ON A PAVEMENT ALONG MY BLOCK!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I'm not kidding you. That is totally gross!!! Eeeewwwww...
For goodness sake. Did the couple (be it male and female OR male and male) got too high and couldn't control where they wanna dispose their excreted "product"? I can't imagine if this thing were to land on someone instead of the pavement.
I mean it's already unacceptable to find these in dark corners of the gardens and now, in the middle of a pavement. This is totally unacceptable. Uh uh...
Nobody say cannot have sex right? You wanna have sex. You wanna play safe. Then please, do it in your room and keep the public area clean. No one like to share your "love product" seriously... You can keep it to yourself lar.
Rant of the day: Monday blues getting earlier and it's happening on Sundays now...
She is coming back!!! Here's Britney Spears with her new single, Womanizer. Mmmmmmm... nice...
And she's really naked in those "steamy" scenes. Ooooh la la...
Rant of the day: Shucks! My luck seems really bad in 2009...
真的是累坏了。今天竟然谁不行！8点开工而我8点才起床！！！好在有累计一点time off，还not so bad。
跟往常一样，搭地铁上班。只不过已过了繁忙时段，车厢没有比平时拥挤。当列车刚经过大巴窑站时，有一名年轻男子突然blackout。起初是他的包包掉落在地，还以为是列车晃得太厉害。但眼睛都还来不及眨，他就突然摇摇欲坠然后倒卧在地。最靠近他的另一名女乘客可能是因为惊吓过度，而花容失色，动弹不得。但是，有另一名男乘客竟然无动于衷！好像是在看热闹似的！
真的是太过分了！
眼看靠近blackout男生的身旁无人伸手帮忙，我就快点挤了过去，把他扶了起来。脸色苍白的他似乎有一点恍惚。我问他问题是，也好像无法很清楚地告诉我他是否ok。有好心的女乘客让座位给他但男乘客默默的拒绝，并说他要到站了。列车到了Novena站后，他就急忙但带一点虚弱的下车了。原本还想帮他找站长求救，但他已默默地离开了。
回想一下，那些不帮忙的人不帮就算了，还站在附近看热闹！
是不是人类在钢骨水泥的环境中，已渐渐忘记如何热心对人呢？
是不是人类在繁忙的都市里，已渐渐忘记关心身边的人呢？
是不是社会太过专注于academic，而让人忘了小时候曾读过《好公民》？
是不是社会改变人类的思想，还是人类的思想改变了社会？
钢骨水泥……人情淡薄……两者是否有关联？
我们人类生病了。我们的社会生病了。因为我们的“人情”渐渐不见了……
Quote of the day: I'm not over-weight. I'm under-height.
I'm so mentally tired that I think I'm going a lil bonkers in office and in school. Trying to do things to distract myself, because I know if I don't do that, I might not be able to protect my sanity.
Some random updates.
Cheng gave me a huge lollipop! Mmmmmmm... Ok, but it's so huge that I seriously don't know where to start... ermz... licking? Dear and I thought that I should smash it up into smaller pieces and ermz... suck on it. But smashing it in office will be too noisy and loud right? Cheng then suggests that I can come up with an excuse that I'm venting my stress by smashing things...
Right...
I had this practice to put a piece of honey ginseng in my mouth to keep me awake in office. As I was taking it as usual, P38 saw a mickey mouse in my packet of ginseng! Yes, that's 3 pieces of ginseng by the way.
P38's son, Asher, came to join us for lunch today. He is so chubby!!! "bird bird... bird bird..."
The "thrifty" man (thrifty sounds better and more politically correct) in office was telling me how bad the increase in transport fares nowadays and how it had sort of "affected" him. He stays not exactly close but not too far either. A bus trip from his home will sort of cost him $0.71 per trip. And he is complaining... Going on blabbering that he wakes up earlier to walk to office every morning now to save that fare.
Right... So that explains that stale and disgusting sweat smell!!! And he don't put on at least deodorant. Prolly might start complaining how expensive it is to pay $3 for a decent bottle.
It's only $0.71 for goodness sake and you are not exactly earning that low. Should be around my range and you are not exactly supporting your whole family. This $0.71 is not even enough to buy me a decent bread from BreadTalk. Not as if the company is delaying your pay and you don't have enough to spend on bus right? Keep on calculating that how much he can save by saving this amount of money per year.
Why so calculative? Not at the lower end of the income chart right? Yes, you are paying your school fees but so am I and who doesn't? Why worry about the economy crisis when it's not exactly hitting you in your face now? And seriously, by saving that $0.71 it's not going to help save your face from any "slapping" should the economy collapse in Singapore too.
Seriously, any guys who are over thrifty, leaves no good impression to anyone. Not to the peers. Not to the girls. Not that guys should live an extravagant life, but at least be decently generous and not complain on increases of fare like a few cents.
Well, unless you are into really bad financial state and that is a different story altogether...
Quote of the day: Boy like that one meh?
It feels good to be alone for a while...
When things get settled down, people take things or even other people for granted. I think it's human nature to behave that way but perhaps we should slow down and step back. Take a good look at the people around you. Think... Are you taking them for granted?
When you assigned another task to the same person again, are you taking your capable subordinate ability for granted?
When you ordered your maid to bring you a glass of water from the kitchen when you can simply just move your butt to the kitchen in less then a minute, are you taking her presence for granted?
When you cross the zebra crossing without looking at on-coming traffic, are you taking road safety for granted?
When you hold onto your better-half and call him/her the sweetest thing but throws tantrum at the slightest thing that it's not even worth mentioning, are you taking your lover's patience for granted?
When you cannot wake up on time because your alarm clock fails but your mother forgot to wake you up on time and you started howling the nastiest thing on Earth at her, are you taking the person whom gave you life for granted?
When you try to make arrangement(s) for those you know, thinking that "it should be ok lar" but it might not be really be that ok because you do not have the ability to peer into a crystal ball, are you taking their time for granted?
I guess I somehow know why I'm feeling the stress... Because I'm being taken for granted in one way or another and which is why I said in the first line -- it feels good to be alone for a while. Because, no one can take you for granted if you are alone.
Snap back to reality...
Sunday started early today. Woke up earlier to go Qian Hu with dear for her "feet treatment" at the spa fish section. Dear's eczema problem doesn't seems to get any better with all those medically proven medicine and this spa fish treatment might be the only way out. No matter how tiring it is, I must accompany dear to this treatment twice a week. I hope it does improves her condition. It hurts me to see dear suffering with all the itch and pain...
Something dear and I heard on train today while on our way home...
Child sitting next to me: (pointing to a man with pony tail) Got girl standing.
Mother: That's not a girl. That's a boy. (she meant "man")
Child: Huh? Boy like that one meh? (still pointing at the man with pony tail)
Kid says the darnest thing on Earth!!! Haha. But the kid is right in one way or another. Please dress or groom yourself correctly according to your gender lar.
But it's a short Sunday with dear (which is also why I had time to me, myself and I) as it is dear's dad birthday and she need to be home. So I'm home, bathed Deric and entertained him a while before going into some of my notes but somehow, my brain was not registering. Words go in. Words come out. Maybe I'm just going through the words but not reading it and instead, enjoying the peace of being alone.
Side track. Being alone does not means I'm lonely. I do not have issues with my social life ok. just that I need to spend some time to myself and this is NOT a psychological problem! I'm not sick in my brain hor!!!
Then, had dinner with just mum and I at the neighbouring market. Bah kut teh!!! Pig trotters!!! Simple things in life to brighten up my day. Stop telling me these food are unhealthy. FOR GOODNESS SAKE, I KNOW!!! But just lemme enjoy would ya! I don't get to enjoy such food everytime ok...
And now, time to get back online. Yes, I wish to annoy you too! Watch this video and you will know how annoying I can get...
Annoying right? So how long did you last before smashing your computer? Haha...
Rant of the day: Stomach pain pain...
I did woke up early...
But I didn't go jogging...
What happened was I went on snoozing my alarm clock happily and next moment jumped out from my bed, thinking that it was a Friday and I'm late for work. This shows how stress up I am now.
I think I need a seriously good break away from everything and everyone. Or maybe I need to see a psychologist before I really go crazy... Everyone and everything seems to give me stress! And I think more than half of them are self-imposed, which is stress I give to myself. But I can't help it.
Anyway, went to the Jurong swimming complex with dear, where you have those man-made waves and stuff like that. The last time I went was like year 2 in poly! Almost 7 years back! We had fun. But the fun was pretty short. I wished I could had stayed a while longer...
Saw this really cool leather jacket at Zara! Damn it! I wanna own it! But... the price totally threw me off my chair. $459!!! OMFG!!! Though the jacket is really well-designed and the quality is superb but with that price, I will have to live with just breathing air for meals! Don't buy it, Eric... Don't buy it... *maybe self talk might help to dissuade*
Hansel left for London today for a year. Take care buddy! If you are seeing this, sorry man for not being there to see you off. Please take good care of yourself. And yes, enjoy your time there and cut down on the cigs will ya?
Before I forgot, happy birthday Arina. Hope you like the Agnès B neck chain that dear and I bought for you.
I'm so into this song recently. Though it's been there for a while but only now then I seriously hear the meaning to the lyrics. So emo!!!
蕭敬騰 《原諒我》
作詞：阿沁 陳天佑 吳易緯
作曲：阿沁
導演：游紹
特別演出：張睿家 郭碧婷
請不要分了以後 還記得親吻過的承諾
妳的永久 已不屬於我
默默低頭 那時我很多 話哽在喉嚨
妳的笑妳的快樂 或許我愛太多想太多
我能感受 他比我適合
愛放了手 我偽裝冷漠 比妳先說分手
請原諒我 原諒我不成熟
不愛妳是藉口 好讓妳離開我
請原諒我 好想自私將妳佔有
妳的寂寞就給我承受
換妳過更好的生活
愛過恨過哭過也笑過
親吻過妳的脆弱
其實我比誰都要懦弱
原諒我 必須假裝愛錯
別讓時間逗留 我怕說不出口
原諒我 沒有解釋太多心痛
別無所求 徹底忘了我
愛原來有捨得
我愛過 我才懂
Rant of the day: More new task! Fark!
I'm suddenly feeling kinda "not in da mood" now. Maybe it because I'm hungry and I can't find the right thing to munch...
I think I should wake up early tomorrow and go for a jog... alone...
Rant of the day: Deadlines!!! Fark!!!
Why am I doing a business module when I wanna do mass communication?
If the topic is interesting, then it's not so bad. But it's not. Never mind... If the lecturer is interesting, then it compensates. Worse... It's damn monotonous and boring. And my lecturer cannot pronounce "ideology" properly. Right...
The lecture got sooooooo boring that I decided to partial switch off and start counting her FREQUENTLY used word -- right/alright.
"The eh business right, have to eh, develop a marketing plan right. And eh this eh right, will allow you eh to... right."
So she can easily use 3 to 4 "right" in one sentence. I am not joking. I only started counting her "right" after the break, leaving about 1 hour of lesson before home. Guess what? In just an hour, she used a whooping 566 "right"!!!
Right...............
Anyway, if you think that the above is funny, this is even more funny!!!
The kid is super cute and funny lar. Bhu-lar-der... Bhu-lar-der... No farni... No farni... Bhu-lar-der... This is what we call a serious communication breakdown. Haha...
Rant of the day: I'm so sleepy...
我第一次为目前的学业成绩喜极而泣。
以往都是因为考得不好而落泪。这次确实拿到意外的成绩而落泪。虽然不是考得很好，但却是我想象以外的成绩。原本认为能拿到“credit”，就很不错了。但，看到是“distinction”时，竟然按耐不了情绪而稍微得落下开心的眼泪！
“我因该没看错吧？”
眨了眨眼，再看一次。真的没看错！真的是“distinction”！太高兴了！
好久没跟Deric牌照了。它真的长得很快。很“口爱”hor…… 它真的很顽皮！有时确实搞得大家又好气又好笑。不过也很机灵。看它的眼睛就知道了。很会看的眼色哦！
Awfully Chocolate在Vivocity开了一间店面。真的超爱他们的装潢。简单却得体大方。突出的颜色对照让店面显得而外抢眼。但是他们的蛋糕不便宜哦。不过，dear还是想尝试他们的招牌蛋糕。味道确实不赖。浓浓的巧克力，不但不会太甜，而且还带有一点扑鼻又稍微苦涩的味道。一个字 -- 赞！
