ubin trip in drizzles

2008-12-08T23:30:00.000+08:00

dark clouds gathered in the morning 7.30 am, which encouraged me to bring along an umbrella, an item that seldom appear in my packing list. this is a bad sign for a trekking activity at pulau ubin.

indeed, rain started pouring when we reached changi village walking towards the jetty. initially, i thought the rain would go away within an hour but it persisted for the whole day. however, the chilly weather did not dampened our spirt to continue the trail in ubin, and put my umbrella to good use.

When walking to chek jawa, we took pictures along the way at the plants, animals and some unique features, e.g. cookie monster figure. On the way, i saw a medium size wild boar dashing across the road, followed by 2 smaller size being. i supposed its the mother bringing her kids for an outing. haha. Another plus point is a monitor lizard was spotted crossing the road. i am quite fortunate to glance at these wild animals which can only be met by chance. not a wasted trip.

there's nothing much to see at chek java due to the tide, 1.3m. [coral can only be seen at tide low as 0.4m] finally, the event end with a chill coconut drink. oh yeah, I've got one with smooth flesh and sweet juice. contented.

this is a not so bad trip, better without the irritating rain. =P

A not bad Birthday Celebration

2008-09-27T22:10:00.000+08:00

Part of 04S3A had a small gathering and birthday celebration for kelvin lim at Pasta de Waraku. The food was not bad (comments from hk and low) but comes in small portions. Luckily, they filled the stomach with the chocolaty birthday cake we bought for lim. I am glad that most of them enjoyed themselves as i've booked the "wrong" restaurant, which I though was Waraku for dining.

The after prog was prawning somewhere at katib, suggested by pei wen who went there to meet bf. That's a fresh idea as all of us did not have the experience. For me, i jus went to chill out and chit chat with friends, getting to know more about kelvin lim that night whom claims to b an "evergreen" =P

Through the whole night, they have donated baits to the prawn with only low "buying" a prawn for $18 plus. Quite a boring activity but its a place to chill out and chit chat.

Its So unpredictable

2008-09-23T00:30:00.000+08:00

I jus came back from Changi General Hospital, visiting my aunt, who was diagnosed to have a tumour in her brain. I am not sure about the chances of recovering, but it doesn't seem to be optimistic. She was quite young, with three kids, the youngest is currently studying primary 1. Its very worrying.

Life is so unpredictable. Have you buy any insurance? Sometimes, we shunned insurance agents thinking I am still young and does not need to get one so early or may be simply I do not have the financial capabilities. However, if you have the extra few dollars every month, one should consider getting one, so you would not be a great financial burdun on the family members spenting on the high medical expenses.

Well guys, take good care of your health. You can only live oncce.

P.S I am not an insurance agent hard selling any policies.

The Train is Sooooo squeezy!

2008-08-27T19:43:00.000+08:00

"Doors closing, please stand clear of door", and the door closed! That was the stop at the terminal station, and the door was only opened for less than 2 minutes.

The train packed with human which was the same scene at the platform. Standing in the middle of the cabin, i tried to squeeze my way out, rushing to school to attend the morning lecture. However, there was stream of working class gushing in and i don't stand a chance to step out. There are people who attampted to pushed in even when the door is closing. Due to this incident, i was sent back to the previous station and have to take the opposite direction back. For this, I was delayed for 15 minutes and late for my lecture. My friend shared a similar experience encountered by her sister. Is this the reason people tend not to move inwards? That's an issue to be examined.

Kanna Pang Seh!!

2008-08-19T17:27:00.000+08:00

I received a shocking msg when attending a lecture. It states that, "Hi, can you take over the position of group leader as i am invited by my friends to join them... ... " Stunned, I do not know how should I reply him. This person is the leader of the group formed from a pool of strangers who was new to the school and hardly had any friends to ally a group of 10. I felt terrible. Though I accepted it unwilling, as he had not submitted the namelist and we're short of one member. After getting the infomation of the team, I called a person and "tricked" him to be the head. haha.. that's very bad of me. but he loved to do the job. luckily, everything still turns out smoothly after a last minute meeting with one another.

This is not my first experience of being pang seh, and I had an exp of ps too. I understand this feeling is horrible and would try my best to check my sechdule and not make any empty promises.

Back 2 school

2008-08-07T16:45:00.000+08:00

Returning to school is refreshing, which was something that I am looking forward. Right now, i find universuty life is quite adaptable, except i do not have much chance to know new friends, probably due to the fact that i missed out the orientation camp. However, i am still quite lucky that I had a colleague studying the same course and friends in the campus.

It has been quite some time since I touched any science materials. So, I am reading up my notes before attending the lectures. today, jus met up with les, low and ds who are reading up their biology notes. I felt quite lucky comapre to their terrible sechdule as lessons ends late for most of the days.. hope everything will go on smoothly and i'll make new friends during tuitorial classes. That's to form a grp of 10 for a project!! haiz, required to submit names b4 18 aug. gotta work hard to look for new friends taking the same course. cheers.

Do we need heroes?

2008-07-29T10:19:00.001+08:00

I am not a batman fan and just watch the sequel moive, the dark knight, that set some food for thought...

In Gotham City, the citizens "hero" was the batman, who taper off crime rates and the villians would only hold meetings in broad daylight. However, when a person's life is at stake, he was considered an outlaw and was voted to be hand over to the city's fiend, the joker.

So, do we really need a hero? or they are just a symbol of security to comfort our weak mind and heart? A person whom we can easily betray as he only lives in our heart. From the movie, I understand that it is not an easy task to stand up as a hero. Firstly, you need a postive image that was potrayed by harvey, a just antonny to bring the villians to custody. No mistake or negative feelings could be shown to the public or the trust would deminish. That's why the commisioner and batman would try their best to protect harvey's justice while the joker tries to draw him to the dark side.

Heroes are characters fabricated by media and people with weak mindset. Sometimes we really need them in a desperate situation and solace our pain hoping they would punish the villians whom we are afraid to trifle. However, once we see their negative side, they would lose their popularity.

sending off

2008-07-23T01:41:00.001+08:00

Sok Fong, my JC classmate, is setting off to shanghai for her attachment. Thus giving me a chance to step onto the new terminal 3 which is awesomelly beautiful. As the class main objective is to see sf off whom will be back at end of dec, so I do not really have much time exploring the airport. I would say the place looks clean and cool, having higher standards than other countries. If i have the time, I wanna to explore this new playground.

Funny joke

2008-07-14T01:43:00.000+08:00

Chicken rice competition!

2008-07-12T21:45:00.005+08:00

Jus had my dinner with family at chinatown and happened to pass by a show promoting food festival. This caught my eyes.

S3A yao guis can participate. =P

Rare Guest!?

2008-07-07T00:41:00.000+08:00

The dark clouds gathered.. is it gonna to rain? could it be a hint that bball is flopped? nevertheless, the sky turned bright. I reached NYJC at ard 535pm with yong xiang [was considered the early birds] greeted by Quek and marcus for being a rare guest. It's not bcos
I was MIA. The reason being that i was not able to make it on sunday morning games due to volunteer tuitoring committment. Too tired to blog about the whole event. Looking forward to our next few outings..

My Last Day at the Keys Board

2008-06-27T23:46:00.000+08:00

This is the last day i'll be receiving calls from Mr Wong who knows all the relavant info and still calls in 4 times per time to entertain himself. Not listening to someone complaining about why is the money not in yet or weirdos enquring if the money would be in by 12 midnight.

The Key Board is a stage that level-up my smoking skills. I am not really comfortable talking to strangers but this job exposed me to thousands of them and regulars like Mr Wong! It is a great exp and i've met great colleagues, junior[Kai Shi], Senior[Joshua], friends and future schoolmates.

Hereby thanking those who gave me their blessings, wei chong, wei liang, tien boon and gang for the yoyo, zi ning for the choco apple and crystal for the beautiful looking sunflower. I'll miss you all.

On Air

2008-05-18T01:20:00.001+08:00

Finally On Air has come to an end. I really loved to watch this drama, which depicts how a drama in korea is beind filmed. Its something fresh and bold which capture my attention and waited for 2 esp every week.

Indeed, it did not disappointment me. Different from previous korea drama which shows typical love stories of prince and cinderella, its something that fills in our curosity for the film industry. From how the management companies exploit their artist to how an artists could be brought down by an untrue rumour.

It's exciting and I was glued to the screen every saturday to view the series with subs. For those who loves korea drama, watch it! For those who doesn't fantasize korea drama, try it. 9/10.

down to earth

2008-04-27T00:53:00.000+08:00

Woa!! Finally, i get to watch Mayday's concert. It's been my wish to watch the concert of this band. Previously, i still do not have the financial power to buy the tickets, thus missed the chance to watch the show.

The atmosphere at the concert was superb. I liked the part when the band member walk towards the second stage which was actually a platform for the lightings. That was really unexpected and I feel that they are sincere. Though there isn't any guest appearance, its enough to jus have them singing. The members are good at engaging with the audience which made me stand up the waved the light sticks for 3 times. The 1st time is when they came forward to the platform stage to sing Masa a birthday song followed by the hokkien song "rubbish truck". The audience was high and participate the shouting sessions encouraged by the band.

It ana enjoyable show and I'll surely go for the next one in the year 2009 and looking forward to their new album.

Golden 24 Hrs: My 21st Birthday Bash!

2008-02-05T20:48:00.000+08:00

It was late at night... Some disturbing noise woke me up. Staying calm, i breifly open my eyes and find some1 tip-toeing towards me, checking if i'm asleep. Pretending that nth has happened, i quickly grabbed the bottle of air freshener which was hiding under my blanket. Surrounded by 4 guys, headed by ming loon, following wen jin, yi hang and aaron, i immediately jumped out of my bed after droplets of water was sprinkled on my face. Spraying the air freshener aimlessly, i dashed out of room, escaping towards the 4th level washroom. Sneakily, i climbed up of the window, back to my bed to rest...

This is just the beginning... After i washed up preparing to go for my duty, i was surrounded by 5-6 guys. The major "tau pok" session has just begun. Grabbed by jason, the rest just happily joined in. The weight of 5-6 men was inbearable.

Just as i thought that the game was over, i was "invited" to office for feb birthday babies celebration. Its the 2nd round of tau pok session. Again, i was grabbed by jason. This time, Mr X, Siang poh, squeezed a tube of overdue toothpaste on my face. OMG!!! Had a hard time to wipe off from my face. Luckily, the cake was not wasted on my face, considering that i still need to perform duty.

The fourth battle started when i went to bunk to get my mac voucher. The door was blocked. I had to springed out of the window. The cheetah, ming loon caught up and pulled me down to the floor. I managed to wringgle away from him. However, the rest joined in the "fun" to tau pok me again. Fortunately, i managed to break away leaving ming loon to withstand the weight. I believe there's going to be a grand finale later... Before 2359Hrs, i'll be on my guard, high alert mode.

Thanks to the guys, i believe this birthday would be quite memorable.. quite worth spending in camp and doing duty..

Here, i'll like to thank those who remembered and took the effort to send me their wishes:

Shi Min
Ho Kong
zhen cong
deshun
mable
xuan yu
leslie
sis
Sumitro
those in camp and MCC =)

A Fish That Can't Swim

2008-02-04T18:19:00.000+08:00

Fish is drowned. OMG!

I was volunteered to participate in a swimming meet 100m freestyle. Initially, the plan was just to try out at the heats for a 50m race, as i knew i definitely dun have the stamina to complete. However, for the sake of participation, i took up the 100m challenge that was supposedly to knock me out of the game during the preliminary rounds.

Change is a constant in this place. Even though i did not go for the heats, i was in the finals! Not enough swimmers i supposed. Happily, i followed the team to the competition finding myself not able to even complete a lap.[no stamina... Lol] Gasping for fresh air, i was deciding to withdraw from the play. Seemed like my life is being threatened.

Gladly, i was able to use breast stroke instead of front crawl. Though slow, i was able to complete the race. However, i was choked by pool water after the 50m mark. Steadly, i held on to a floating line that was separating the lanes. Hearing cheers from the audiance, the though of giving up went away. I continued to reach the finishiong line. Though i was the last, i managed to complete something which i thought was impossible. There are still many milestones to cross over even after i've ORDed.

Tonight, i would be hiding from my bunk mates who are going to give me a birthday bash. Good luck to me. =)

CNY mood

2008-02-03T15:14:00.000+08:00

I am in the CNY cum ORD mood now! for the past few days, i've been out to enjoy myself.

Yesterday, went to bishan junction 8 to support wen jin's talk on "Why eating more green and less meat can save the world". Though this is not the 1st time i'm listening to his presentation, i felt that i shld support my fellow vegetarian promoting vegetarianism.

I was accompanied by soon heng, freddy and jason. superisingly, wen jin managed to bulid a rapport with them and even though they often complain that he is giving them much work. There was a number of audiance compared to the talk at orchead library. however, i find one teenager who was eating some food,that is definitely not vegetarian, quite rude as wen jin was encouraging the crowd to eat less meat. i feel that sometimes youngster are lacking of some basic respect for others.

watched sweeney todd with the same group after we had a vegetarian lunch after being "peer pressured" by me. though fred was having vegetarian meal in camp, i was quite surprised that he went to the extend to have vegetarian again[he may be gorging meat the next day =X] The movie suited soon heng's taste of dark arts. Its quite scary, esp the part when Mr. Todd started to kill for the ingredients of the meat pie. u may consider to watch it if u like bloody sences.

in the evening, i had a family cum my birthday dinner. The food at Go Green restuarant is delicious. one of the good vege restuarant i have patronised. i saw an orange sponge cake sold at breadtalk and wanted to have it as my 21st birthday cake. It's quite special, though i know its sold for the CNY season. it would be a memorable cake. =)

Today, jus finished a basketball game with the S3A guys. was quite happy that there's a vegetarian store at serangoon garden. i would be able to suggest a place when friends wanted to go for a supper treat.

i do not understand but this year seemed to have more cny feel compared to the past few years. is it bcos the economy is good or the reason that i am going to ORD? it good to have the mood! =)

Holiday Seasons Ending... Back 2 work!

2008-01-01T19:17:00.000+08:00

OMG! Can't believe that my block leave went passed so fast.. Hope that my ord date would come faster. other than rotting at home for 10 plus days, i've catched quite a few movie this month: National treasure with jia xiang , Brotherhood with yong meng and siong siong and I am Legend [not that nice...] with S3A.. too bad that i cant make it for lim's house as i'm meeting harmo + jia xiang to santosa the next day [today!]

I've completed AHM!

2007-08-26T19:03:00.000+08:00

though the Army Half Marathon is held annually, i might not have the motivation to participate the event not even running the 21km race.

This is an achievement for myself whom had not been training and able to encourage one of my fellow colleauge to complete the course without walking. Now, my body is aching, knees are breaking and running a fever. feeling quite awful. =(

anyway, buck up.. keep fighting..

Secret

2007-08-11T22:11:00.000+08:00

Watched Jay Chou's movie "Secret" with zees, yan ru and hk, whom i have not seen for ages. It's nice to catch up with them, esp yan ru and zees, as i had not seen them for 2 years up till last month. bcos of corina, i met up with yan ru who complained that mi and hk had disappeared for centuries..

back to topic.. secret is a show with simple settings but a great plot. u would wanna to know wad;s the secret about.. wad's so secretive...the female was pretty... the twist was good[though many movies hav used that b4] i like the part when jay compete piano skills with yun hao[a member of na quan mama]. the way they played the music was magnificent. i doubt i can do it even if i practise for 10 years[kua zhang?]

too bad din hav the chance to learn piano. luckily i know how to play a double bass =) do watch it.. though i am not an ardent fan of jay chou, i would say this movie is quite a catch...rate it 8.5/10. =)

NDP 07 Ended. Holiday ended

2007-08-10T16:13:00.000+08:00

After so many weeks of rehearsal, the nation's big show finally ended yesterday. I can lead back a normal Saturday life.. However, i need to attend a 2 week course which only allow me to book out on saturday and burnt my weekend for the following for a open house exhibition.

My off days comes to an end.. now i would be busy with my work for the rest of the year. Hopefully by next year i can jus rest at a corner waiting for the lighted day to come.. By then, most of my friends are already enjoying their lives...

a day trip to malaysia

2007-08-06T13:49:00.000+08:00

woke up at ard 5a min the morning =(

gotta catch the tour bus at ard 0545. dun really look forward to hav fun - joined this tour bcos i dun wanna to b left alone at home.

after crossing the bridge, went to a so called chocolate factory which turned out to be just a shop selling chocolate products. bought a bottle of coco powder to make hot chocolate drinks.

breakfast was dim sum. the place was so small that we need to go in batches. the food was ok - 2.5/5 but i ate a bun[bao] that is not fully - the content inside is still cold. due to time constrian to cater to 280 plus people?

the next place visited was a dragon fruit platation. took a few pictures there. nth much here, jus gaze at the farms of organic vegetables and admire the senary at a hill top. tht the juice would b nice =( the ice sticks is betta.

the highlight - durian feast for lunch. din eat much. the D24 i ate at serangoon was a lot more batta. it was fleshy and not to sweet. that was 4/5. the price was great too. that was $10/kg. think ate a total of $60 that time. =X

a visit to our temple in malaysia. went there once in the beginning of the year. the people there was great. they prepare a delicious meal for us.

by den i was quite tired. this shopping trip was =X so i spent an hour walking ard the mall which was worse than hougang mall.. nth much to buy.. woot quite lucky to live so NEAR to a shooping centre.. haha..

dinner was fast.. the dishes are brought to us once we settled dowm on the tables. best meal during the trip..

home sweet home at 12.. feeling sleepy... =0

benefits vs morals

2007-07-19T01:02:00.000+08:00

jus bought a book yesturday. its teaches the readers how to perform well at work, and behave at your workplaces. wad does it has to do with morals? there's one part which states that you could get certain infomation from friends whom u jus need to say hi, smiled or "show" concern. you are not doing anything not ethical or unlawful. However, i feel that you make friends with sincerity not to achieve some motive. A friend who share with me someone's philosophy about friends is "Friends make use of one another at certain stages of life." After hearing such statement, i feel that this world is scary. Can you still trust someone easily? which side would you choose? your own gain or concious? I am confused. As i was brought up in an environment preaching morals and ethics and school teachs moral education[which seemed boring to most], it's hard for me to choose. Sometimes, i feel that this makes me in the losing end, losing in this competitive society. This leads to another provoking thoughts - does morals exists in a competitve, economic driven and capitalise society?

getting fat

2007-07-07T00:03:00.000+08:00

lol.. jus fin 2 hong kong drama sreies and 1 anime during my off and leave days. woot, everyday jus eat and sit in front of the com and get fat, fatter and fatter.. =X

gotta do sth constructive next few weeks le =)

i'm burnt

2007-06-24T09:33:00.000+08:00

after long hours standing still in the hot sun, i have become a chao da man =X next week's contineous parades rehearsal would be a killer.. now my legs and knees are feeling sore. yesturday was the first combine NDP rehersal. it's great to see the fireworks display on the way back to camp. its beautiful.. try to go somewhere near marina square next sat if u wanna take a look =)

parade

2007-05-27T18:43:00.000+08:00

from now on, i am involved in 3 parade. standing under the hot sun, getting burn like a charcoal. luckily, god is quite merciful to bring good weather during the training periods. The following weeks would be busy for me, especially after being roped into the marching contingent. Saturday would be a hard time to meet up with friends... due to work commitment, i could not take off on monday for next 3 weeks... would b physically and mentally drained.

today jus went to watch pirate of the Caribbean with les, marcus, john and low less those who had watch the show and some performing their role to protect the country. It's been a long time since we last meet up. unfortunately, the supposed class gathering last week flopped. hopefully there will be one soon.

production of soy bean milk

2007-05-07T20:40:00.000+08:00

yahoo!!! i have jus successfully produced 2l of soybean milk with bout half a packet of soy bean found in my fridge... though this is my 1st attempt and the taste was quite acceptable [can sell at kopi tiam liao] =) hm.. however, it really takes quite some time to manufacture the 2l of soy bean milk.. the hard work begin since morning worx... search for a recipe to make the soy bean milk from the internet.. need to soak the soy bean in water for at least 6 hrs before i can start to grind it in the blender, which was around 6 plus in the evening. after sieving the soy bean milk, heat till it boils then add sugar for better taste. for those who are diabetic, u can try the pure soy milk... those interested to sample my soy milk can place your orders wor... =) free for 1st 10 customers... lolx

for one more day

2007-05-01T10:17:00.000+08:00

do u believe when you think of somebody who is no longer living in this human world, your thoughts would bring the person to you. does this explain why sometimes we dream of sprits who came back to chat with us?

if you have one more day to spent with a person who is not in the world, how would you spent it? who would you spent it with? "For one more day" tells us the greatness of a mother even when she is no longer with the main lead, chick, who was left alone with no aim to live on. our parents are the guide in our life. no matter how old we are, they are always there for us. for those who seldom talk to your parents, do interact with them.

determination

2007-04-24T18:38:00.000+08:00

"if u are determined to do something, u will try all means to accomplish it" this comment by a person suddenly struck me. it made me reflect on wad i had been doing these past few years.. am i putting in my heart and soul on everything? i am jus following the flow of majority and dun really know which direction or path to take for my future.. wad makes a bright future? wad determines that u are successful? many have different definitions... for myself? i am still seeking the answer... any1 has interesting views?

my worst week

2007-04-14T12:56:00.000+08:00

aching all over

2007-03-10T09:27:00.000+08:00

woot.. jus woke up and feel the ache all over my body. it could be due the the rugby training i'm undergoing for the sake of competition. playing as the back, i supposed my role is to be "taupok" by the others. sian half if i tio. already flew off when i am the person knocking against a huge guy. still not very sure about the rules and regulations of the game yet so that's how noob am i to the rough play and was prepared to be slaughtered. have already went for 2 training, which teaches the basic such as passing, catching and drifting. As those experienced players are so busy with their work, noobs like me could only train like that. Now i am suffering aches from the run.. agrrr...

Black Jack
this is the famous games most played. ez and quick money for those with good luck. depends purely on luck that is also a "test" for the year's fortune and a check whether the god-of-wealth is smiling at u. A game suitable for all ages from 4 - X.

Big 2 / bridge
more popular among gentlemen. a skill-orientated game which require a bit of wits. those who are not crafty are not suitable for these games. not a game for money but its thrill.

Mahjong
a game which require both luck and skill. its highly based on experience and the level of your training. if you wanted to join in the fun, pls be prepared to pay the "tuition fees". however, no worries for starters whom was believed to have some beginners luck. this game is more suitable for those rich tai-tais whose can play high stakes. for youngsters, best to try at lower bets.

Roullette / big small
game for the mass. anybody can place their bets. most played for the fun. can win or lose your money easily. just happen to have a set at home =P . can bring to any arties if there is a request.

2007-02-17T21:39:00.000+08:00

i am quite grumpy these few weeks.. it is not my usual self. even if i feel quite angry, i would not shout or scream at that person. This guy with not much common sense has managed to made it into the list whom i scolded. He really irritated me to the core with his "fantastic" suggestions and senseless ideas. hm.. cant really communicate with him cause both of us think very differently and most of the time, our ideas clashed. wad am i supposed to do? i still need to work with him for at least 1 more year.. for now it has been 2 months and i start to feel tired and wanted to get out of the place!!

Your number is: 6
The characteristics of #6 are: Responsibility, protection, nurturing, community, balance, sympathy.
The expression or destiny for #6:The number 6 Expression provides you a truly outstanding sense of responsibility, love, and balance. The 6 is helpful and ever conscientious, making you quite capable of rectifying and balancing any sort of inharmonious situation. You are a person very much inclined to give help and comfort to those in need. You have a natural penchant for working with the old, the young, the sick, or the underprivileged. Although you may have considerable creative and artistic talents, the chances are that you will devote yourself to an occupation that shows concern for the betterment of the community.
The positive side of the number 6 suggests that you are very loving, friendly, and appreciative of others. You have a depth of understanding that produces much sympathetic, kindness, and generosity. The qualities of the 6 make the finest and most concerned parent and one often deeply involved in domestic activities. Openness and honesty is apparent in your approach to all relationships.
If there is an excess of the number 6 in your makeup, you may exhibit some of the negative traits associated with this number. There may be a tendency for you to be too exacting and demanding of yourself. In this regard, you may at times sacrifice yourself (or your loved ones) for the welfare of others. In some cases, the over zealous 6 has difficulty distinguishing helping from interfering. You may have difficulty expressing your own individuality, because of involvement with responsibilities and causes. Like all with the Expression of the number 6, it's quite likely that you worry much too much.
Your Soul Urge number is: 9

If you are able to fully realize the potential of your motivation, you will be a very self-sacrificing person who is able to give freely without being concerned about any return or reward.
As with all human beings, you are prone to sometimes express the negative attitudes inherent to your Soul Urges. You may become too sensitive and tend to express emotions strongly at times. There can be significant conflict between higher aims and personal ambitions. You may resent the idea of giving all of the time and, in fact, if there is too much 9 energy in your nature you may reject the idea. You may often be disappointed in the lack of perfection in yourself and others.
Your Inner Dream number is: 6
An Inner Dream number of 6 means: You dream of guiding and fostering the perfect family in the perfect home. You crave the devotion from offspring and a loving spouse. You picture yourself in the center of a successful domestic unit.

Your views on educationEducation is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

leisure swimming

2006-09-30T15:20:00.000+08:00

met up with ds and les at ard 1100 @ hougang swimming complex. swam 5 laps for 1 hour plus.. haha.. actually most of the time we're chit chating.. as usaul the place is packed with little kids learning to swim and their parents waiting at the steps.. since morning, the dark clouds have gathered around hougang region, waiting for the right timing to release the droplets of rain.. hmm.. i supposed the timing is quite good as the rain came just after we get off the pool.. yeah.. for the past few weeks, saturday seemed to be the day for rain... just stay at home and relax

sunshine after rain

2006-09-17T20:14:00.000+08:00

yesterday was my first guard duty after six months of service.. feeling excited and looking forward to it after listening to many stories of my bunk mates experince.. on the other hand, it was quite depressing to come back foe weekend duty afterall...

the worst thing is not coming back for weekend duties. it's the moment when i flipped open my wallet and reliase that my 11B was not inside.. its not on my table after checking with my sis.. oh my god... it went missing when i need it..

when i was doing my rounds, dark clouds started to gather hinting me to run to look for shelter.. however, i was in the middle of nowhere.. the dark clouds could be an indication of my luck today... the rain came and i got drenched - bad luck..

this morning, when i was rushing to go out, i flipped open my wallet again and was surprise to find my 11B inside one slot which i missed out yesterday.. phew! finally the heavy load in my heart was lightened.. almost went to made a police report.. should i say i am unlucky or just because i was careless and made myself worried for nothing for the whole saturday..

the missing factor

2006-09-02T22:47:00.000+08:00

something seemed missing today... in the afternoon, i intend to take bus 62 to meet my sis, but realise i was on bus 82 when i reach serangoon interchage.. how blur i was! after that, we missed the train and had to wait for another 9 mins =X.. then waiting again for bus 33 for more than 10 mins.. bus 147, 132 abd 145 came two times and it was still not in sight.. finally, bus 153 'zoomed' passed me when we walk out of queensway shopping centre. luckily, i managed to buy a bag which i liked.. not going home empty handed hee

took the test and the results are:

Fish, you're a Type 5 - The Experimenter

Friends, family, and colleagues probably appreciate your probing intelligence and open-minded approach to life. They're also apt to know that when they come to you with a problem, you can be counted on to give them a carefully considered answer based on keen observations. As an Experimenter, you're likely to be seen as a capable and competent individual with a visionary outlook.Being a member of this type puts you in good company. Renowned painter Georgia O'Keefe, with her reclusive nature and intense focus on her craft, and Albert Einstein, with his groundbreaking theorems and unprecedented view of the space-time continuum, were also Type 5s.This means that compared to the eight other Enneagram types, you have a strong sense of perception as well as a curious and innovative mind. In fact, like many Experimenters, you have a strong drive to understand how things work.

not sure how true it is.. may be u can try it

2006-09-01T22:23:00.000+08:00

rainy trip

2006-08-30T21:39:00.000+08:00

dark clouds gathered as i walked down the streets. the sign of a big storm is arriving. the moment i stepped out of "cheers", the sky is already pouring. seemed it would take quite some time. most were stucked under shelter while some were strggling to reach one. luckily, i've brought an umbralla with me. so, the bad weather didn't stop me from going on..

strolling down the streets along little india, it seemed quieter than usual.. not so congested.. may be today is a weekday. furthermore, its raining.. though its cooling, my whole afternoon is spoilt by the downpour..

on the way back, i was spotted by hui juan. too bad, i didn't meet her. currently, she is studying in nus psychology, even took up social work. hope that we have some chance to meet up with the others.. it's been some time since our last gathering.. wondering how's the rest doing?

My free and easy week

2006-08-12T18:07:00.000+08:00

have been slacking at home these few days... watching tv, playing games, eating junk food... its a break from the training.... and it feels good to lie on my bed which seem to be a luxury for this period of time..

met up with jia xiang, ying hong and ho kong. initially planned to eat at sakea. however there is no lunch buffet on weekend.. so we went to a vegetarian resturant with some friends of ying hong whom we met on our way.. decided to watch a show at marina square but the timing was just not right... its seem that the programe doesn't flow well.. luckily, the treat of chocolate dipping dessert made up the day... though its quite expensive.. =P it tasted delicious and made me crave for more.. yummy

Wild Boars

2006-08-06T08:27:00.000+08:00

Have u ever tried being woken by a wild boar? I am disturbed by two wild boars in the middle of the night when most are sleeping soundly. Circling around us makes us unable to rest peacfully. The beast is waiting for the chance to stun the food in our bags, preparing to strike when we let our guard down. Some of us tried to use light, fire and smoke to chase that animal away. However, it would came by hourly to adampt to steal, giving us a hard time. Finally, it managed to bite away a bag, grabbed its prize and move back into the forset... Then we were able to go back to our dreamland after being disturbed 3 or 4 times...

Sayo

2006-07-09T14:39:00.000+08:00

free and easy

2006-06-16T17:42:00.000+08:00

This is the best holiday[leave] i ever had. because there is no worries to rush to complete any holiday homework or need to study for any tests.. all i did was slacking at home, playing my ps2, reading at the library, shopping and swimming. its quite enjoyable and relax week. sadly, it is going to end soon! got to enjoy fully the rest of the week.

Jus another weekend

2006-05-20T16:16:00.000+08:00

Now i am getting used to the life in the happy island.. in a few more weeks time i would need to adapt to another new environment. would be doing the same thing this weekend: watching movie.. planing to watch the da vinci code . previous week missed MI3 so watched "when the stranger calls" which i felt was a lame show. hope i would not dissapoint me this time.

The long weekend

2006-04-16T01:01:00.000+08:00

It has been quite some since i last seen my jc friends such as les, kel low, kel lim, ah quek, jj, ds, hk and zc... some met up yest for dinner and watched a movie 'firewall' which is quite an exciting show. u may consider watching this if u could not decide which show to watch.

went to kbox with ade, low, ds and hk. had an enjoyable time singing. most of the time i'll be holding on to the mike as i was not taking the lunch... unless its the song dedicated by ds which most of us do not know how to sing[cos most are not the hits]. finally had a good rest after weeks of exercises...

A month has passed...

2006-04-08T19:27:00.000+08:00

Its has been a month i am away from home training in some other island. made some new friends there which we went through thick and thin[sufferings and fun] yesterday, we 'celebrated' the 21st birthday of one of them, zhi hong. sang birthday song for him with the company of a guitar. that's one of the memorable moments we have there.

the day before my hair is off

2006-03-10T02:10:00.000+08:00

watched munich with S3A guys in the afternoon... it was a good show which is worth the $$ paid to watched in the cinema. learnt a point that one should not know so much secret as you may go crazy eventually.

i would be going to the training island in less than 50 hours. many friends had gave me advice and blessing before i went in for my intensive training. thx guys. have prepared the stuff which are required to bring along with me. however i am not sure if i am prepared mantally... although this is not the longest no. of days which i would be away from home[ocip took 14 days], i suppose i would miss my family and home.

confused

2006-03-03T12:02:00.000+08:00

finally, i've received my results two days ago. I am quite happy with it as i have pass the general paper, the subject which i feared i may not make it. May be its just because the Lady Luck is smiling to me and being blessed by miss chiew's wishes during the examinations. Here, i would like to express my graditue to my GP tutor Miss Amy Chiew who has been conciously preparing the class for the A level Examinations and took the time and effort to give us extra lessons[consultation] for once a week during the study break. I don't think i could pass this mild stone without the help from her. [can participate in the 'best teacher' award ^_^]

Now, i need to make a quick decision to secure a place in the university. I still do not have any idea which course i would like to take. Visited the carreer fair at Suntec City Convention Centre and collected some brochure back to read. Although I have some courses in mind, i still could not decide. This is not sth like going to a fish market to purchase some food. Still confused -.-
Hopefully i could get some 'enlightenment' in these few days.

mixed feelings

2006-03-01T11:19:00.000+08:00

today is the day i am going to collect my results... the fate of a few thousands of students is going to change in a few hours later... feeling nervous and worried... i am not sure how i fare... would be crossing my fingers and closing my eyes when i am in the hall waiting to get my results... cant helping worrying about it. wish all good luck!

pay day

2006-02-27T23:27:00.000+08:00

finally received my pay from the previous job. looking at the cheque makes me feel that my effort was paid off. wonder how would i spent this amount of money in the rest of the 10 plus days before i go to another island.

happy.birth.day

2006-02-26T20:58:00.000+08:00

recently bought a book from kino, entitled 'happy.birth.day'. Its a compilation of the lyrics written by ah xin, the vocalist of 'may day' and author of the book. I would say he is a talented man who wrote over 100 songs. quite agree with a line from another song writer fang wen shan, who has written in the book, the lyrics with the melody if the song is a poem. I feel that it is a some form of 'literature' and culture. May be some other singers would also have a compilation of his own productions. btw, i like the new song 'happy.birth.day' accompanied with the book.

coughing non-stop

2006-02-20T11:24:00.000+08:00

oh no! i've been coughing for more than one week since the mid of my working week. its somewhat getting worse each day and has lost my voice. would be resting at home for these few days... -.-

The Day of salesman A

2006-02-17T16:56:00.000+08:00

The beginning

woke up early in the morning to report to the sales venue to set up the wagons and prepare for the sales for the week. Opening up boxes of clothes and pile them up in the wagons for the ready to attack customers. Folding and packing the clothes would be the priority job of salesman A. However, he's more to learn. The way to serve customer and the techniques to counter their legadary attack.

Legendary techniques during crazy sales

Though i understand one needs to look for the correct size and his favourite design before he purchase a staff, some are just too "fantastic". Salesman A would need to refold the clothes which he's just done a few minutes ago

level 1 : pulling for the sake - the destruction would not be so high as Salesman A would only require to refold one piece

level2: flipping for the right size - this would mess up the pack of clothes, but some adjusment would bring it back to the correct orientation

level 3: digging deep - this would topple the top part of clothes, salesman A would need to rearrange them

level S: fishing the bottom - the bottom piece was taken which topple the whole pile of clothes causing salesman A to refold them

Salesman A Vs Customer B

Customer B: This piece of clothes looks dirty
Salesman A: It should washable
Customer B: Why not get 2 piece for a discount
Salesman A: *faints.

Customer B: Can i go to the washroom to try the jeans?
Salesman A: I'm sorry, our company policies do not allow trying
Customer B: I would like to see if it fits me. I can leave my IC here
Salesman A: -.-

The above story is just an opinion of Salesman A with no intention to point out at anyone, anybody

Turning 19

2006-02-05T23:45:00.000+08:00

This is the day when my mother had screams and suffered in pain... that's my mother's last experience as i am the youngest child... hee

it was about 12 plus in the midnight and my phone ringed which was something quite unusual. that was a msg from ds wishing me happy birthday! gou brother. get to know that his job was quite tough and i need to do something similar in a week's time. hopefully my supervisor would be a nice person.

As today is also my grandfather's anniversary, thus my birthday celebration was brought forward to yesterday. i was quite surprise to receive present from su juan jie. after that i went to choose a walnut cake and went to have dinner with my family.. quite quite happy with the whole thing...

agian wishing i would enjoy this day forever...

Best friends!

2006-02-02T11:54:00.000+08:00

after reading the blogs of ds and les, i am quite insipred by them to write an entry about my friends. They were quite xi xin to list the friends to had made during their schooling life... seemed i have missed out quite a lot when i went to work...

During my schooling life, my best buddy would be Ho kong aka known as lao gao from my sce sch friends. We studied in the same pri, sec sch and even jc... the most amazing thing is... we're in the same class for 7 years! joined the same CCA[scouts & harmo]. During Sec sch years, we would combine forces to suan[not niao] some gals and frineds from our CCA. You may see him being quite "spendthrift", this is after many consideratons and he would take note of the amt he spent.

during pri sch... i would always hang out with han sheng and eugene. during p6 time, i would spent time play games with han sheng at his place[he lived the same blk as mine] can be consider my neighbour...

secondary school met many crappy friends such as yong chuen, hui juan, jia xiang, zheng min, yan ru, my classmates and scout friends. we could "gossip" and talk crap after sch which taught me to be quite crappy for times...

in my jc life, i do enjoy my 1st three months of study.. it is quite enjoyable as i feel that it seemed i'm freed from most restrictions in the secondary school. joined harmo with hk and most of my sec sch friends. from there i met ying heng, the president of the harmonic orchestra. He is quite passonate bout music and bringing up the club. he is trying very hard to teach our badge which most do not have much music background and new to harmonic. He is a senior whom i respect and admire.. as a bass player, i would need to coordinate with him - the keyboard player. he would stare at me when i did not perform well enough.. but thank to his guidiance, i've leran a lot and improved..

in S3A, other than hk, the 1st person i really talk to is yx, the most xin xin guy in our class, smart too! he is my pw mate and we fought together working for the report and the minutes. thanks for his help which make up the the part i've not done well as a team leader. next would be jin jie who is my buudy assigned by my CT. he is a quiet person, and nice to talk to him.. others would be mole[kelvin lim] asking me weird questions as a vegetarian such as "can you use oil fom pigs[lard] if it is extracted using a large needle with killing it?" my first impression is OMG! why would he ask such a question! with ah quek, we would discuss bout comics. with ds, les and kel, we worked hard together at the 1st floor study area.. though the days are tough, its good to have them to be with me. as for the gals, most of em have bfs, and have rather few time to hang out with the class... so i would mostly speak to her.. sometimes suaning her[the height] haha

its good to have this bunch of friends be with me.. or else i suppose my life would be quite boring and dull...

Good Dog! Good Year!

2006-01-29T23:04:00.002+08:00

My bro's dog junior came back to home today[it stayed with his gf]... most people said that its auspicious to keep a dog during the year of dog..

oh no! it is really a hyper active animal. it can jump and run around my house for the whole day.. like to lick people's hand and would go all out to fight for its snack[looks like wang wang biscuit].. really greedy dog.. in order to distract him from the guests who are afraid of dogs, i used his fav snack to lure him to the kitchen.. that hyper active animal came all out to get his food.. oh, i 'fought' with him for quite some time before giving up the 'prize' to him.. haha

with the commotion with junior.. hoping that i will do well in this year

wish all good health and peace and properous

any cure for laziness?

2006-01-22T10:22:00.000+08:00

did any body though of inventing a medicine to cure laziness? i suppose most would have contracted this "disease". this illness would leech ones's fighting spirting slow down his progress. its is a scary disease as it would not show much symptom when a person is down with this illness. at the moment, there is no technology to detect this duanting ailment which would deteriorate a person character and "ruin" his life...

ps: this is just a personal opinion

My First Job

2006-01-13T09:58:00.000+08:00

too tired to update my blog these few days as i hav jus started working. its long office hours from 9a.m.-6.30pm[getting BTH liao] haha.. doing some data entry of a survey.. do not require any job experience.. jus need to know how to use basic office program. it is quite boring doing the same staff.. in addition i need to key in texy of some which is illegible[already poor eyesight liao] haha... but it is quite an easy yask to handle[not required to handle some silly phone calls] it is some valuable experience which shows me one environment of working area... got to source for another job as this job is goging to end soon

the rainy week

2006-01-08T15:55:00.000+08:00

this week is filled with water! i supopsed its raining heavily most of the day.

the heavy down pour could spoil one's day and plan.[ actully wanna to go out with lasini and ds on thurs but was spoil by the sudden shower.] the only advantage i coud think bout is it brings down the temperature thus i can hwve a good nite sleep.. hee

hope the rainy season would stop asap

boring days

2006-01-05T10:04:00.000+08:00

after all the fun i had, the days are becoming boring... i realised that i do not have a direction or aim to complete a task. luckily, found a job[admin] which would last for two weeks. at least i've sth to do[or else i'll need to listen to my mother's naggings] now i'll need to look for another job which could last for a month... now i would be slacking at home.. playing games, watching tv and sometimes out for a swim.. hopefully everything would go smoothly and i would progress smoothly..

closing

2005-12-31T01:04:00.000+08:00

this year is going to end soon... everything seemed to pass very fast... this year was hectic for me... i need to take care of my student[tuition] and my studies... really very xiong.. as i need to catch up some tuitorals which i do not understand during year 1... but everything went on quite smoothly for me... with my friends, i managed to pull through this stage...

other than studies, my cousin brought a new life to the world. its a cute and lovely baby boy who could really scream out loud... saw him this two days... he has really grown for the past month after i last seen him[he's only two months old] this trggers my thoughts that a child can really grow quite fast and time really flys...

Boxing day

2005-12-27T10:42:00.000+08:00

this is the day when the discounts and sales started... bugis is packed with humans... i supposed orchard is worse.. you really need to push through your way... it seemed as if u're going for a war.. luckily i did not went home empty handed after the tough battle...

A merry christmas!

2005-12-25T22:33:00.000+08:00

woa... finally have the time to settle down to blog...

on the eve, there is a new member of the family coming to my hse... its a new life... not a baby... its a dog... it's hyper active... bit my socks[wonder how can it stand the smell]... feel safer when it is in its cage...

meet up with the S3A usuals at settlers cafe to play some games and catch up with the army boys[yx and low]... sf and marcus had a bet[whether both of em would wear a cap to meet us] the results is -- there is no winner... the place is quite enjoyable and fun too, would highly recommend you to kill ur time there if u are filthy rich...

received a call from lasini at ard 10 plus... trying to psycho me to low's place to ton with them... tot they would be having some games or anything... ended up watching anime... quite funny, however, i cannot tahan[too exhausted] and ended up slping on the floor[my cosy bed is better!] thx to lasini...

jump onto to my bed after i entered my hse... home is always the best place... cant sleep till late afternoon as i still need to attend some other ativities... that is to look after and prepare a christmas party for some liitle kids... oh! its really tiring day to look after kids... i feel as if i have aged 100 years older...

though this christmas could not excite me, like the time when i was a child looking forward to christmas[have no gfs to spend with] thats why ended at low's place.. haha... its quite fruitful and tiring[at least i did not rot at home]

D&D has jus ended... 12 hours ago i supposed... its was a glamourous night... most are well-dressed up to the grand occasion... looking handsome and pretty... mus have spent quite a sum of $$ investing in those dresses and suits... took quite a number of pics... all quite memorable... this is a great night...[better than my secondary school's prom]

The D&D

2005-12-05T09:44:00.000+08:00

finally the day has come... the is the big day for the J2s in NYJC... the Prom night at Grand Hyatt hotel... the class has been busily preparing for the night... searching high and low for the suitable wear for the big day... sometimes i wonder what are these for... to mark an end for the junior college life? or its a post A level activity for the students who has nothing to do... to keep them occupied... anyway... hope tonight would turn out good and i'll enjoy myself...

wh@t's the importance of life?

2005-12-01T19:20:00.000+08:00

sometimes i would wonder what brings me to the world... i would always ask myself the meaning of life... what's the purposes of living... why am i living in this world... what shlould i be doing? to pursue great adcadamic results? to secure a great job? to earn big bucks? to rise in status? to lead a materialistic life? sometimes i am lost... stuck in the juction of a crossroad... i would wonder which path should i take... my beliefs clashing with the interest of my life... which options should i choose? to be open or put on a mask? to keep quiet or to tell the truth? to go ahead or wait for others? i would wonder what are the others thinking... what's your point of view towards life?

1st step to driving

2005-11-28T21:10:00.000+08:00

2005-11-28T00:19:00.000+08:00

spent evergy drop of my energy today... the hp gauge is gonna to be zero when i step in to my home...

morning games were fun which the broke the ice among us... the theme for today's camp is movie... got stations such as "xiang zhuo zuo xinag you zuo", "wu jian dao", "sipderman", "quan zhi sha shuo"... and "ming xing ou xiang"[not movie though]... and a "hei xin da jiang" ceremony as a finale item... quite fun... acted as *F.I.R's keyboard player... haha...

had to rush to cheryl's house for S3A bbq... oh no! took bus 88 which made me travelled for more than an hour... got very fed up as my shoes are wet and feet feels soggy... so decided to stop at ang mo kio central to get a pair of slippers and have my dinner... then went to buy drinks for my classmates.. surprised to see miss chiew with us... she would have seen the other side of the class... as usaul some tried to get others into the pool which would make them drenched.... sadly i was the first person who got slaghtered by quek who poured a cup of water on my bag... initailly planning to throw kelvin low in... -.- so got spirted up and attack everyone... espcially john, low and quek... haha then the fun of water fights started... john was carrying his bag as an amulet... -.-... not sporty enough... lastly, zhen cong was the poor guy who was targeted by most of the guys... haha... heard that miss chiew was involved in part of the plot... as i need to meet my friend to sign up for the basic theory test, so had to part with the guys[got a free ride from miss chiew] who may be going for the midnite movie... oh my... wht i got into a "scheming" class haha...

w@tery d@y

2005-11-26T17:31:00.000+08:00

oh no! woke up late today... was supposed to meet at hougang interchange at 7am... set off to M. reservoir to start the "counter strike" game... armed with a small "piston" group Alpha[my group] losted to the terrorist who shot us with their "machine guns"... gotten all my whole body wet... there goes my house t-shirt [my mum would have a new "kou kah por"[rag] added to her cabinet... it started to rain before lunch which lasted for the whole afternoon... had a change of plan to play the water bomb game[i got smashed!] and candle fight[we won^_^]... this brought up the morale and enthusiasm of most of the people which end with the sounds of laughter...

On Board!

2005-11-25T23:28:00.000+08:00

met up with hk on bus 72 to meet the others going to lim's house to play the board games... starting with Risk... the most scheming game as some are forming allies which may be broken anytime while others stand by and looked for chances to strike... losted bitterfully as allied with John[both of us only occupied a quarter of the territories -.-] some more 3 vs 2... sure lose de... sadden... luck is not on my side... after that move on to Monopoly... quite tiring game... as we keep on stepping into one another hotels... money keep on flowing from one's hand to the other... since john would eventually win... cause he owns the most land[ from his luck and scheming plot] so we decided to stop the game... feeling hungry and tired [cos i din have lunch] after the game... final conclusion: kelvin is really a very Innocent guy!
