Bzbzbz...

Busy, busy and even more busy. Busy with my 'Ferrari' biz...

The only time I enjoyed and relaxed this month was playing mahjong at Louis' place on Christmas Eve. Played throughout the whole nite. Damn shiok, cos at last I learnt mahjong! Hehe... Reached home at 7++am, washed up, slept a while n I was off to ST. Had to reach there by 2.30pm for a big meeting about the China market.

Everything has to be on double speed now. We had originally challenged our business partner to become BDs one month before he does. Now he has accepted another business partner's challenge to get BD by June. That means we have to do it by May. 5 months!! Gambatte!!

Go D! Go BD! Go HBD!

Go Financial Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Toyota vs Ferrari

Well, well, I din keep my promise... Damn freaking busy ah... At first, it was the tuition agency. Have to overlook this n that, pratically zapped me of all my energy plus its a very very slow vehicle, a toyota kinda model... How to achieve financial freedom n my dreams?

So now, I've found a ferrari, or an evo 7... A much much faster vehicle for me to reach tt stage. A business venture fast enuff tt'll let me build a softball n baseball stadium in sg, adopt many many kids who are in need from all over the world n help Africa in educating them abt Aids n their children...

I've lived a very sheltered n comfortable life n I want unfortunate kids to live a better life. Whenever I c those documentaries on these kids, I cry... I really wish i can adopt all of them!!!

The tuition agency will be on hold for this moment now as we are building a business organisation for this "ferrari"

Onward to my dreams!!!

Lazy lazy me...

Haizzz, I've said this again n again, mayb I shld make this into a upcoming Xmas resolution... I'm getting lazy n writing lesser n lesser entries every month. Thou shalt not be lazy n will try to update my diary more often... Quite a no of things happen these 2 weeks ++... Let me tok abt them one by one...

1) No Training: Apparently, all of NP's fields are closed for maintanance, which means no training during the hols till the sch reopens. I've asked MC if its possible to train with Teck Whye if thy are training, he'll say he'll find out. So, have to wait n see...

2) Tuition Agency: Me, Chris n his bro has set up a tuition agency. It's my first step into business since after reading Robert T Kiyosaki's books. At least I'm now in the 'S' quad, rather thn in the 'E' quad. We're beginning business on Monday. Quite excited abt it. Those who wana teach tuition, call me k? hehe...

3) Commercials: They're being aired on TV now! The 5 Ministry of Manpower adverts n 1 Brands advert... Anyone seen them yet? The only one I haven seen is the Violin one... Isn't the baby in the Baby advert cute? While watching the commercials and if my parents are ard, I'll point out to thm which are the locations I've found. Hehe... Mayb I'm born to be someone who is involved in productions, cos I'll have this very overwhelming man zhu gan whenever I see the finished product of the projects I'm involved in...

4) Fatty: Oh yes, I've put on weight cos I was greedy. Didn't control my diet even though I wasn't working, excercising or running abt as much as I had while I was with Two Oceans. Haiz... Even the successful grapefruit drinking days b4 I was working isn't working very well nowadays... Haizzz... Fat fat no one want ah!!! So, must start to control diet already. But with the present office so near to Chinatown n Maxwell Food Centre, the temptation is overwhelming!!! All the good yummy food like Chinatown's egg tarts, porridge, yong tau foo, er gu's desserts, claypot rice n Maxwell's chicken rice, tapioca cakes, ham jin pengs, ding xiang dou hua, the list jus goes on n on lor... Argh, saying all these is making me hungry n making my mouth water... Die liao lah... Have to control ah! Have to really go on diet cos when Cash comes back from Oz, the probability that me, him n Chris go whack all the good food is very very high.

ok, I thk that's all. I'm done for today...

25th Oct's birthday...

Celebrated someone's bday today. Not very successful... Nvr seen him blow such a temper before...

Am I doing too much for a best/close frd, I wonder sometimes. He's still quite dependent on me. I accompanied him to get a hair cut and to do field work for school projects. Even today, I help him organise most of the stuff, like who buying what and had to help him call his brothers down cos he's too busy wif projects. I dun mind doing all this for him, but I jus hope he'll be less dependent on me sometimes.

In the past, I'm obliged to do everything for him, now, even as best/close frds, shld there be a limitation? Should there really be a limitation? And after doing so much, all I got was a "volcano eruption". Was it worth while? As best/close frds, I know I shldn't bother or be so calculative... After doing so much, I need no thank you's, a quiet apperciation is enuff, but a temper blown?

IVP 2002 Game 2 & 3... Location Asst job...

So damn blardi tired n tied up with my job that I din update for such a long time.

The gals team lost the 2nd match to NUS but won SP in the 3rd. So, we've got 2nd tis year!!! Yay!!!

I was doing location asst for Two Oceans since the 6th till 29th. Had to recce places according to the script for a ministry project of 5 commercials. The shooting dates were 26th till the 29th. Slept almost the whole day ystday! Was so damn tired. Imagine sleeping at an average of 2am n waking up at 5am. Reached home after the last day of shoot, slept at about 1am all the way till 5+pm the next day... Shiok! Hehe...

Went back to office to settle the claims today. My producer asked if I'm interested to work. Of course! Well, I've to get some capital for my business after all. Told him I'd like to try the PA post. At least it pays better overall. 80 dollars a day for a PA job compared to 700 for the whole period contracted as location asst. After that, I went over to Chris' place to discuss our business and continued our Cash Flow game. I got outta of the rat race by 3.5 hrs and completed the game by buying my dream n his dream by 4 hrs. Hehe... Hope I can do it faster the next time round.

Now, I'm only waiting for 6 commercials to air. Hehe... Cos I'm considered doing location for another project of 1 commercial too. Cos tis script requires me to look for a house which I was doin for the project of 5 commercials. The agency (in charge of both projects) found one of the houses I recced suitable for the 1-commercial project so they used it.

After slacking out for 2 days, tmr I'll have to pack my room and embark on Robert's books again! My room's in a complete mess now... Haiz..

IVP 2002 Game 1

Q came into #mcss yesterday morning.. around 2am... So happy that the application went thru.

We had the first game today for this season's IVP. Against NTU. Gals won, guys lost. Good game put up by the gals. We batted hard, made good hits, ran aggressive-ly n scored many runs in the 3rd inning. In the bottom 4th, NTU managed to catch up, but we still managed to hold them down and won by 2 runs. The guys were good during the top 1st inning, confident, running aggressive-ly...But as more runs came in during the bottom 1st, they started to make errors... In the end, we lost 24-10...

Enuice said this as she was leaving irc today : failure is part and parcel of life...it is through failure that we learn and strive for the better. come on ppl...never give up... softball is a team game. work together as a team and alwz encourage each other. i believe all of you can do it if u believe and have faith in yourself and the team.... Well said!!! Power!!!

After the game, we wnt back school, bathed, thn headed to al-ameen for dinner. I quickly ate n thn went to my grandma's (dad's side) birthday dinner... Thn went back to bukit timah to join the team for pool.

Sleeply now, but like unwilling to zzz.. hehe... Mayb cos thr are still pple online, so can chat a bit... hehe...

Softball Camp June Sem 2002 n bday celebration...

Felt that I haven wrote for quite some time... So hands itchy to write something...

Had registered #mcss on galaxynet. Hope the application goes thru successfully.

The softball camp was on last Fri till Sun, but I left on Sat nite. Had training on Fri evening n stayed for a nite. Couldn't get to sleep, so me, Enuice, Ziwei, MC, Hong, Ah Gu, Pui Suan, Simon n Tart (I thk tt's all) gathered for Round One of Ghost Stories. We toked abt happenings in NP... At abt 3, we decided to get to zzz, so we stopped n went to toilet. Thn Tart saw someone on the track, turned out to be human after all... We went back to the room. Me, Ziwei, Hong, MC n Pui Suan gathered for Round Two... Army happenings this time round. At almost 5, we stopped to get some sleep. N tt was when we had a symphony orchestra (read: loud snoring) in NP. Eunice had woken up too, so had some other gals. As for me, I really cannot get to zzz already. Mayb I had fallen asleep, but not deep sleep... At abt 6.20, Tart, Sebas, Steward n Wee Kiang woke up. After a small discussion with them, we found out tt Pui Suan was the one snoring all nite long. Those 4 guys went to wash up, but as soon as they came back, it started to rain heavily. As scheduled, we were to have a morning jog n thn some light training.. But we cancelled n it was rest n relax time. Some went to the library to watch baseball tapes n movies, the rest of us played daidee, till Gopi came n stopped us, so we played "sha, fan sha" n "007"... Had lots of laughs.. Haha... All the way till 3.30, we started to make our way to the clubhse to get equipment to start training... Trained, makan dinner, got the gals to gather. Me, Ah Gu, Jan, Qi n Eunice begin to speak to the gals... Telling them abt stuff thy shld kn, like bat swinging, relaying, etc... Left abt 10+... Reached home, called Chris abt Sun, his mum's bday, celebrated 2 days late... Washed up at abt 11+, zzz at 12...

Mayb I was damn tired. My alarm clock started ringing at 8, but only managed to wake up at 10. Bought the book n the cake, reached his place ard 12+. His dad said I had lost weight... Hehe.. Went up to his room to take a nap aft his dad n him told me to cos I was still damn tired, was lying face down to the table to rest and was waiting for Louis, Hao n Seng to come so we can tok abt our "team". But thy came late, ard 5+, tt was when I just woke up... Started to prepare the things for the bbq at tt point of time. Cut cake, eat, toked till abt 11+ thn I took a cab home...

Now aso still damn tired.. But I wana watch the Liverpool match later n c how thy lose... Hehe... I shall go start reading Real Estate Riches, another book from the Rich Dad series...

Readings? One Piece?

Dunno wht to write aso... Nothing to do... Lagging in trivia, softballs is empty... Done wif neopets, emails n richdad forum for today... Nothing's on tv...

Mayb I shld go back to my readings or watch One Piece on my comp... But to watch One Piece, I'll have to reboot my comp... To read, I'll have to go into my room...

Haiz... Mayb I shld read... No one's online anyway... Haiz...

Yong Qi

I had a karaoke session wif Jan, Qi, Zhou, MC, Sebas, Ziwei n Danping tis aftnn. It was damn cheap. We ended up paying jus 9 bucks per pax. The songs were damn updated too.

As I always liked Liang Jing Ru's songs, I chose to sing Yong Qi. MC was making fun of the song, jus like wht he did whn he first stepped in. But as I sang, I got more emotional, shutting away his teases. Mayb the song reminded me of us... Whn I finished the song, I dropped tears...

终于做了这个决定 别人怎么说我不理 只要你也一样的肯定
我愿意天涯海角都随你去 我知道一切不容易
我的心一直温习说服自己最怕你忽然说要放弃
爱真的需要勇气 来面对流言蜚语
只要你一个眼神肯定 我的爱就有意义
我们都需要勇气 去相信会在一起
人潮拥挤我能感觉你 放在我手心里你的真心
如果我的坚强任性会不小心伤害了你
你能不能温柔提醒我虽然心太急更害怕错过你
爱真的需要勇气 来面对流言蜚语
只要你一个眼神肯定 我的爱就有意义
我们都需要勇气 去相信会在一起
人潮拥挤我能感觉你 放在我手心里你的真心

Little league's showing on ESPN now.. I'm typing tis now.. Mayb I shld go to bed...

Searching for my crew...

I'm halfway thru one of Rich Dad's series, Retire Young Retire Rich. There was one qns that Robert Kiyoskai asked. I can't remember the excate qns, but it was asking something like, "in the pple ard you, who's with you, who's not". My immediate ans to tt was, all but Chris. I'm not criticising or saying anythg mean here, but I find tt the pple ard me are filled with the poor n middle class realities n context. My parents n my frds. 2 of thm surprised me by keeping an open mind, but thy're not totally wif me. Most I toked to rather keep all their money in the bank cos it's low risk. To a certain point I agree, but leaving all my money in there n let the bank use it as a leverage?! Wait long long... One of my frds have failed in a watch business before n his reply, "I wun be tt stupid again". I tried explaining to him abt the odds in investments n treating this failure as a lesson. He refused to change his mind-set.

I like the anime One Piece. Watched a few episides before. It's abt a guy by the name of Roofy. He aspires to be Pirate King and I find the anime very very very inspirational. I'm watching the rest of the episodes now on SCV. Thank God for tt! Hehe... The lyrics for the theme song is aso very very very inspirational.

Robert Kiyosaki had said in his book, "It's ok if the boat leaves. But do u wana be left behind whn the other boat leaves the dock?" He was referring to pple who are building their assets n investments. Those who did so already left the dock. R u gog to be the next one who leaves?

I was toking to Chris abt it the other day, abt One Piece, abt telling him to search on Kazaa for the rest of the episodes cos I wana collect the whole series. Thn we came up wif something like "We are like Roofy. Looking for pple to join our crew. We have left the dock, on the ship, leaving others at the dock and r now drifting in the sea, looking for our crew. A crew wif similar goals n ideas."

Right now, while still learning n reading from Robert Kiyosaki's books, I'll have to look for my crew. A crew who fits the bill, has the right mind-set and has the same goals n ideas.

One Piece!

Weird dream...

For almost a week, I could control my tears. Although shedding a few tears every night, I finally broke down again just now.

Was in cobratrivia. Cash was singing, n we were suaning a bit here n there. Cl said I am attached, ask me to not say anythg. I typed "wht". Thn I noticed Cash, asking him wht i shld say, shld I say "I not attached liao lah" cos Cash kns abt tis already. He says he's an outsider, do wht I feel like. I typed in the mains "attached or nt, I like to say can or nt". Cash noticed me "nice one". I really dunno how to break the news to the rest. Mayb Chris n I have spoken to Cash, so telling him was easier. The rest kn Chris, he's part of the channel. Whn I was gog off, Cl ask "paced, you gog to bed alone or with *ahem*". I replied "with my teddy bears".

I started to cry... I went into my room n cried... This is the first time I've actually cried so hard after we finally broke up. Thn I recalled a weird dream I had ystday. In the dream, there's a guy, some how or rather, Chris' friend, was trying to kiss me. I pushed him away, saying "cannot, I still liked Chris." He replied something like "but he dun wan you". And I woke up. Y on earth did I have a dream like tt?

I've stopped crying now. Enuff of Rich Dad Poor Dad for the day. Have to go to bed coz have to wake up early n go to NP tmr for softball. Dunno if I'm able to fall asleep...

Sadest Day of 2002

We broke up at abt 2am jus now...

Hurts to even mention his name now...

Too tired to tok abt it...

Dun wana thk abt it cos I'll start crying again...

Sleepy, but will try to get some sleep...

Mayb I'll tok abt it some other day...

Shld have expected... It has been a see-saw thingy since last Tues... Tues aftnn - broke up... Wed aftnn - patched... Wed nite - broke up... Thurs morning - patched... Thurs nite - broke up... Fri nite - patched... Early in the morning, Sat 030802 - broke up...

Thk it'll be for real tis time round...

Stoning off...

Birthdays Galore

My entries per month are decreasing by nos on such a large scale... Oops... Must write on a more regular basis...

So many pple's bday fall within these few days... Celebrated Joseph, Joshua n Shuan's bday on Sat at their chalet. Had dinner today at Raffles Marina to celebrate my dad's n cousin's bday.

Somehow, I feel tt my cousin had matured a lot within these 2-3 yrs. He had many gfs in the past, not say playing the field, but jus not the type who wld settle down n get married so earlier. He has a child now. It was a shotgun marriage last June. When I saw him today, I couldnt believe that he is 26. Any normal guy in S'pore of tt age who not think of getting married, much less have a child. I guess it was the child tt changed his thinking n he had to be responsible too. I think most couples who are nt married n had a child accidently wld wana abort the child cos thy wun wana be tied down by a child. I looked at how he showered his child with love n his wife with care. I was definately sure tt he is ready to settle down. What a huge change!

I have a webby to intro. It is http://www.jninfo.net.cn/flash/swf/m3398.swf. Take a look n c wht u can learn from thr. Sorry that it's in Chinese. But the animation shld explain the story. So everyone can take a look. I've learnt something from there. Cherish your loved ones. Once thy're gone, thy might b gone forever. Hold your loved ones tite now n tell thm "I Love You"! Hehe... Hope u'll gain something from this webby too! Oh yah, be patient. This webby takes kinda long to load...

Signing off...

Gaining wisdom or wisdom gained?

Was watching TV San Jian Ke just now... Xiao Zhu damn good looking... Hehe... Always had tried to catch the show every week cos Xiao Zhu's in it!!! In the last segment of the show, TV Shou Ca Xian, a mother requested the program to help her locate her son who hasn't been home for 2 mths, not even called. She had approached his best frd before, but he refused to say anything. Xiao Zhu n Hei Ren managed to persuade this best frd abt his whereabouts, only to lead them to a garage whr he had quitted work as a car mechanic a month ago. A chk with the colleagues thr found out that he's currently working in a hotel. So thy went over to the hotel to look for him. Thy managed to locate him and his superior made him call home in front of the tv crew. He did call home to say tt he'll go home for a visit at noon time tmr, but he nvr turned up. Xiao Zhu n Hei Ren decided to let someone from the crew follow him home the next day, thus getting the address. The following day, thy went to fetch the mum to look for her son at his place. Hei Ren gave the son a scolding n thy left after tt. A few months later, the TV crew checked with the mum to c if the son had returned home to visit again n he did not. Xiao Zhu n Hei Ren said something v true. Repay yr parent's love n gratitude while thy are still ard. Thr's no use in putting up a huge procession for the funeral whn thy're dead.

I was brushing my teeth jus now n felt pain on my right lower jaw. Saw a white dot peeping out of the gum. Haiz, another wisdom tooth on its way... Soon, it'll be like the other time, chew food, pain pain... Haiz...

Suddenly I miss all those old games... Dig Dug, Pacman, etc... Dunno y aso...

Childhood Memories

Its abt slightly more thn 2 weeks since Chris moved into the new place. After thy offically moved in and slept thr, I had gone over aft work in the evenings. I got off from work one afternoon to prepare for my bday party. Since I had to buy him lunch, I decided to take the MRT down and walk ard the area.

After alighting, I walked to Tanjong Katong Complex, not much change. The major occupants of tt building like Shop n Save and 2nd Chance were still ard.

I thn crossed over to City Plaza. Major changes in shops there. Swensens was over taken by a small Muslim food court. There was a bubble tea stall. The stall selling tidbits had lesser variety, corn-on-the-cob no more, only corn-in-a-cup with Daisy margarine instead of Planta margarine. Oriental Emporium on the 4th floor is now Yun Nam Haircare. Most of the shops are wholesales n retailers of female clothes now. Compared to the large variety of shops in the past. Boys n Girls, where I bought clothes in the past was still ard. Sinma and a few jewellers are still ard. So is the money changer cum 4D, Toto stall. The open space opposite to tidbits stall is now converted to Mr Bean n A & W. Standard Chartered is still ard too!

After drawing money, I crossed over to Lion City Hotel, using the pedestrian crossing as usual. Although there's a bridge, I dun use it. Not because I'm lazy to climb up the steps, although the up-going escalator was still in operation years ago. It was because I once fell down thr... My mum's cousin, my aunt, was carrying me, say abt more thn 18 years ago. We were crossing the bridge over to the Mcdonalds for a ice cream treat at Lion CIty Hotel. I heard from my mum tt she had missed a step n fell down the stairs. Although nothing happened to us, I was dazed n didn't eat my ice-cream. Bad memories, so I dun use the bridge... Hehe...

Mcdonalds at Lion City Hotel seemed smaller in size and there was a KFC n Slimming Sactuary there. The cinema which always showed Bollywood films is now Giant Supermart. Oriental Emporium is now Bestway, Starhub and Old Chang Kee. 7-11 now occupys a space along tis stretch too.

I walked further down to Haig Road Food Centre. I walked one round before deciding to buy chicken rice from a very familiar stall. It has a big display area, hanging all the chickens, roast pork and char siew. Behind the display area, stands the "chopping man", who prepares the plates of rice and cutting up pieces of meat. Tis whole display area is flush to the left hand side of the stall, leaving a small entrance on the right. Thr's an auntie who would stand sideways at this small entrance of the stall and take down orders. She'll write the orders down on paper and hook thm on a hook placed on her right which is stuck on the display area's side panel. Now she no longers write as thy have printed pieces of paper and all she has to do is the circle thm. When I was younger, I remembered thr was once a long queue. Tis auntie was writing more n more orders till the hook was full. She had to placed the order slips on the writing area instead. As I watched the chopping man extract the order slip, I kept wondering if the slip he was holding was mine. Hehe...

Lunch was bought and I walked over to the bus stop to take a bus down to Chris place. I boarded the bus and as the bus turned at the junction near the MRT, I looked over to my left, staring at my grandma's ex-place. The corner shop carries bicycles instead of fruits, although the hampers are still ard, thy took over a medical shop tt was beside too. The drinks vending machine thy had in the past is gone. My grandma's ex-place, a hair salon and a bank was over taken by a lighting shop now. The coffeeshop at the corner is now a shop selling office chairs. Memories of me in tis area flooded my mind n i held back my tears...

Neighbours in the area calling me "chili-padi" cos I was small size n skinny. Always getting coins frm my mum to get drinks at the vending machine. Running into the salon to look for my mum who's washing her hair. Running down to the next block of shops to get chalk so I could play hopscotch outside my grandma's place. Drawing "samples" of clothes and standing at the front area (whr customers bring n collect clothes for my grandma to wash, my grandparents were in the laundry business), pretending to sell thm, sliding open n shutting the wardrobe (hanging grandma's customers clothes) letting my imaginary customers choose. Kitchen area whr I helped to wash the floor, see my grandma n mum cook and tried to help, opening n closing the fridge to get drinks, throwing away n refilling a dish of water so the condensed milk would not flood with ants, sit on the HUGE washing machine, HUGE ironing table (whr my uncle pratices pool) and a HUGE table whr clothes are laid out, placing empty metal hangers (rust free) on the rods in the backyard pretending to dry clothes, soaking myself in a water tank (those china-type told in the story of Sima Guang), soaking myself in another huge water tank in the bathroom (this one is made out of concrete) constructed in a corner, taking out the plug at the bottom of tis tank n letting the water gush out (hehe...) n running halfway up a stairway tt leads to the occupant upstairs which is blocked n locked. Last but not least, the corner coffeeshop where we would carry a huge metal mug to buy coffee.

So much memories, can't finish writing all of thm down...

Major Update... Hehe...

Its been kinda long since I entered an entry. Well, basically I thk this will be a rather long one...

World Cup: My, my, England won Argentina 1-0. Quite an exciting match, with Owen having near misses. Thks to the ref for awarding the penalty, otherwise the end result will be most likely a draw. Well, Becks converted tt penalty.

As for the match against Nigeria, it was a boring draw. Not much excitement in the match. Was watching most of the Sweden-Argentina match instead in a pub located below my office. Whn Sweden took the lead, I was damn happy, really damn happy, at the same time, hoping tt Nigeria dun score. After Argentina equalized, I prayed hard tt Nigeria dun score. Full time and England's thru to the 2nd round!!!

England played Denmark in the 2nd round, I din had the chance to watch most of the match. Will say y in the next section. Glad we got thru it wif a 3-0 win. But Brazil's up next... Please let England thru to the semifinal...

Moving Hse: Not me, but Chris. Had been moving for the past 2 weekends. Offically moved in on Monday. After unloading and dinner and a little rest, first thing that was put up was his darling bed... Hehe... Lots more to unpack. Essential thing missing in his room now is a curtain to cover up his window. Hoping to go IKEA either tmr or Thurs to buy the curtain... Took leave today to help him too... Hope all unpacking can be done by Sat. At least I can enjoy my chalet without thinking about his unpacked stuff... Hehe...

Softball Camp: Sorry guys n gals... Really sorry for not turning up... Gomene... Busy unpacking... Sorry... Cya all at my chalet k?

Chalet: Bday chalet... Cmin Sunday... A whole list of "things to do" these few days... Sure busy... Lucky I have my Jie-Meis n Chris to help... Thankie in advance...

World Cup 2002...

England drew 1-1 with Sweden... Sad case.. Was leading in the first half... Becks' fitness still not fully recovered, couldn't last the full match... France lost 1-0 to Senegal. Good show put up by Senegal...

World Cup's on, but I cant get to c most of the matches cos I'm working. Can only wait for the replays late into the nite...

England's showdown with Argentina is on Friday.. May have to rush home to catch tt match...

Becks is up and running!!!

Oh yah, forgot to mention that my darling Beckham has almost fully recovered and is kicking the ball!!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!

Hope he can play in the opening match.... Hope England will get through the killer group rounds... Best if they can bring the WC back to England...

Brief update...

Back to trivia!

Rotting...

Trivia's crowded now, so I decided to hide here for a while. What's the use of typing away correct answer when my ping to bugger is lousy and I wun be the 1st, thus no points... Waste my energy...

My RealJukebox is playing in a random of about 1200+ songs... Listening to all kinds of songs, Chinese, Jap, 70's, 80's, 90's, Retro...

Dunno wht's on tv too... I switched it off once my parents went to bed... Lazy to reach for the Life section of the papers to check for program lineup. Guess that I'm kinda rotting around in front of the computer.........

Rotting off...

Re: Gracious society?!?!

Haha... First entry of May... Make it a complaint letter...

Sometimes I wonder if Singapore can really be a gracious society. Remb, I was toking abt the escalator thingy?

Point 1. Some toopis pple still block the right side at MRT Stations like Clementi, Dover, Tampines, Outram Park... I guess most of these are those "neighbourhood" stations, away from town... Peak or off-peak, its the same... The right side's always blocked!!! Piangzzz, dun this pple kn its island wide?!?!?!? There are posters. Dunno england? Nvr mind... Tis keep left thingy was on TV and newspapers too! In all languages!!!

2nd point, not abt pple blocking. Its abt pple who are not really in the rush of time, lazy to wait to get on the left side of the escalator and only climb halfway up the right side like a snail!!! Grrr!!! If you are sincerly not in a rush, pls keep to the left side lor!!! Grr!!!

3rd point. Or maybe its a question... Is the keep left rule only applicable to up-riding escalator?

Haizzz..................................

Gracious?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Wait long long........................

Friday's cmin!!! Yesh!!!

Man U's playing the 2nd leg of the Champions League Semi later. The first leg was played at Old Trafford and it drew 2-2. We have to draw 3-3 or win the match to get us thru. Hope they are able to do it!

Tmr's public holiday, no wonder thr's so many pple in trivia. Yeshhhhhhh, my last day's on Fri. Leaving the shity management at last!!! Wahou!!! Jus thking abt it makes me damn freaking happy! Haha!!!

Chris has 18 more readings to go thru before his nxt paper on Thurs. Dunno if he can finish it in time... Haizzz, a bit worrying... N he? Stressed but like a bit relax... Hope the red bull's enuff to tide over tis few days. Another paper on nxt Mon. (*Sayang* dear, gambatte!)

I've forgotten wht are exams literally, until I'm able to find a course I like and start it nxt year. The last paper that I actually stressed out for was almost more then half a year ago... For my advanced DVD course...

The IVP season's starting soon... This cmin July sem... Ngee Ann, all the best! Hope we have enuff gals tis year to form a team... Hehe... Gambatte!

Becks' broken foot...

Feeling kinda bored so decided to type something here... Dunno wht to type aso... Haizzz...

11 more days to the end of contract. Well, my manager has toked to me abt the renewal of the contract. Told her I dun wan to. She said will tell the boss. Haizzz, toopis management, who will wana stay? Wun be tt toopis to stay there and kena all kinds of shit.

My time's always occupied by stuff so tt's y I've not started searching for distance learning institutes. Anyway, I plan to start next year, either the Feb or July sem. Seems that I have a lot of time to look ard, but time flies ever so quickly.

Chris' studying at last! But hope he can complete his revisions in time... Was toking on the phone wif him the last few nights. When we were toking jus now, he asked if I wana go over to his place tmr. Dunno if I shld cos haven't seen him since Sun. (Miss ya, dear!) But dun wana disturb him revising aso... Told him tmr thn decide.

Took half day leave today cos was feeling giddy, so came home to zzz. Slept frm 4 to 8. Wide awake now. Planning to go zzz after a little trivia. Not gonna watch England's friendly later too. No Becks, watch wht? Was reading The Newpaper jus now, seems that the new stand-in capt is Michael Owen. Cannot make it cos he isn't as influential as Becks on the field. Imagine Owen shouting to his midfield and defence... Cannot make it!!! He doesn't have the sei of a capt. Becks, please recover quickly...

Fifa very good! Becks can be named in the World Cup squad but England is allowed a change for Becks within 24 hours frm the opening of World Cup. Which other country can have this privilege? If Romario or Ronaldo kena major injury now, will thy have the same privilege? Hehe... Blardi idiotic Deportivo!!!

Smelly Boy, Smelly Boy...

Now I know y wisdom teeth are so bothersome! To me, it marks the beginning of the end of puberty, which means, I can't grow any taller!!! Argh!!! The tiny little white speck on my lower left gum has grown to a much obvious white spot. It hurts whn I chew hard foods like biscuits so I have to chew hard foods on the right side of my mouth instead! And it bleeds a little sometimes.

I'm counting down the days left to the end of my contract. Can't wait to get out of a lousy management with a lousy, petty, giam siap, calculative and not understandable boss. Please, 5th of May, come quick... Thn I'll be free!!! Hehe...

Exmas are coming soon... Jen n Ange gambatte ne! Dear, u too! Your 1st paper on the 22nd and you haven start revising yet! Argh... Looks like I'm more worried for the exmas thn you sia... Yue sitting for SATs test soon, if I estimate correctly. Yue jia you too!

Allo, Amok/Kloozo/Jester, before go Taiwan must say hor... Jus read your entry. By the way, whn u gog over? For hw long? Now I kn y tt day u called asking whr gt polyclinic. Take care little boy, almost every bone in yr body is broken...

Man Utd is in the semi for Champions League. N my poor Becks is injured with a broken bone in his left foot. Guess have to sit out the rest of the season already. Hopefully can recover and gain match fitness in time for finals of Champions League and World Cup.

Have you pple heard of Smelly Cat by Pheobe Buffay of Friends? Well, I have my own version. Here it goes...

Smelly Boy

Smelly Boy

What time are you getting up

Smelly Boy

Smelly Boy

Put away that bolster of yours...

Hehe...

Singing off...

Sisters....

2 entries? Yep... After gloating, its down to serious matters. Altough I'm aso waiting for Man U's match to start.

I asked myself jus now, wht's the definition of friends, good friends, best friends. I remb having an entry abt all my friends in Aug last year, when I was jus starting on tis online diary thingy. I quote "FRIENDS r there, 24/7, showering u wif love, concern, care, attention, blah, blah, blah…"

Sisters, we may not be in contact (I mean email, phone, sms...) everyday, or even months! I may not show attention or concern, but deep down I care! My hp is on 24/7... Call me if there's any probs or if u wish to tok k?

Usually we mit up during birthdays, or the beginning of the school term whn Jen n Ange are more free. There was a period of time whn they were going out wifout me cos I was studying on weekdays, working on weekends. There was a period of time whn Yue wasn't going out with us. There was a period of time whn Jen aso didn't go out with us. In the end, we still could manage an odd time or 2 when all are present! It takes 2 hands to clap, when one calls us up to say, "let's mit", we all try to do so. Its usually whn we go out, I tok non-stop to update u pple rite?

Are phonecalls and emails really that important? Maybe... But u pple kn that frm sec sch, I dun have the habit of making phone calls to chit chat cos I prefer to chat face to face. And the reason to have tis online diary is so that whn u guys are online, u can read all updates abt me. Everythg is up here.

Promises are still promises and it's there to keep. ALL of you will still be my bridesmaids no matter wht happens whn I walk down the aisle.

Ange n Jen are cramming for exams now, let's mit after their exams! cya guys thn...

Gloating... Haha!!!

POOL IS OUTA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!! Muuuuuaaaaaahhhhhahhhhhaaaaaaahhaaa!!! Amok/Kloozo/Jester (whtever u wana be called), r u reading tis!?!?! Muuuaaaahhhhaaaahhhhhhaaaa!!! I'm gloating! Yesh! I'm gloating! And I admit! K, enuff of gloating, sekali gt retribution... *touch wood*

The keep-left thingy on escalators have spread to ALL MRT stations! Shiok! On Mon, some radio station, forgotten which one, was at Raffles Place to cover the event. The DJ was saying keep-left and immediately I saw tis person who was originally on the right, shifted to the left. Haha... But some escalators dun have the signs, like the ones exiting the MRT stations. Pple take for granted and stand on the right... Haiz...

Gracious society?!?!

First entry of April...

Bought Tis by Frank McCourt today. Its the sequel to Angela Ashes. I'm now at the last chapter of Angela Ashes. After the death of his twin brothers and a sister, he has a brother whn he's 10. When Frank is 11, his father's off to England to earn some money, and his mother is sick wif peumonia. His father sents back money once, and never again... Spending thm on drinks. Last few pages...

Never read my diary for so long liao, thn Chris came to read the other day.. Hehe... Dun worry, ntg bad abt u in here... Hehe...

Man U's losing grip of the league title... Assernal has a game in hand n leading.. Sian... Sibei sian... Never mind, just treat it as a blessing in disguise... We'll win the Champions League!!! Yay!!! Toopis Liverpool and Bayern Munich better lose the 2nd leg... So Man U has a better chance of pairing up the lousier teams and winning thm and in the end, win the Champions League. Not that we are no match up for Pool, jus tt tis season, we keep losing to pool dunno y...

I jus found out tt Singapore has too many inconsiderate pple and thus I thk we are far frm a gracious society. There was the "keep left on escalator" trial at Raffles Place MRT Station quite some time ago. Keeping left is to empty the right side for those who are rushing for time. It's a form of social etiquette only till now Singaporeans realise!!! Or rather I dun thk they do! Cos to them, its jus following a rule! During the trial, all was well. After the trial, pple jus dun care! I now develop a bad habit to say excuse me n squeeze in between the 2 pple, taking GREAT CARE to slighty nudge the one on the right. It takes 2 hands to clap... i wana be nice to say excuse me, u glare at me... Hello... U mean when there's a trial or rule, pple will obey and follow? I'm waiting for the day the trial will come back, to all the MRT Stations. But once the trial is over, it'll back to where we are now... But if it really suceeds, will pple carry tis over to escalators in shopping centres and other places? Or will they adopt a tis-is-not-a-MRT-station-so-i-dun-care attitude? Haizzzzz, gracious society, I dun thk so...

Enough of rantings...

Off I go to dreamland...

Ongogings for the past week

Ntg to do, too early to get to sleep too I guess...

Cuzz's shifting house, so no trivia for the time being too...

Had a bad sore throat the past week, so haven been doin cold calls. Mainly been helping the general placement side to do some admin stuff, looking thru resumes for some orders they received recently.

Had dinner with Angeline last Sat on the 16th cos 17th was her bday. Went to Lips Cafe at Cineleisure.

Man u lost to Boro ystday at home... Chances of getting the Premiereship title is getting thinner. Haizzz... Y did Fergie insist on playing Veron whn tis fella is so damn outta form... 2nd on the table is ASSenal, wif 2 games in hand, trailing only by 1 point... Worrying... Liverpool better lose tonight...

My turn... to be sick...

Now its my turn to be sick. Same symptoms as my boy... Went to the doc jus now to get MC for tmr. Nose all blocked up now...

Bugger's here to stay I thk, and that's good news!

Back to trivia... Hehe...

Chris' sick...

I wonder why I'm stoning here rite now. Mayb its time to go to bed cos have to work tmr. Working full day tmr cos on Tues n Wed, I'll be working full day...

Chris' sick. Fever, sore throat, flu n he says cough's cmin. All cos he stayed up the past few nites to study for his papers on Sat n yesterday (Mon). Was at his place jus now. Bought porridge for lunch for him. Poor thing... Haizzz... N tis boy like dunno hw to take care of himself, very worrying lor... Haizzz...

Bugger's out again. Been playing the last few days whn the bot was in. Damn shiok. Been so long since I last played trivia. Dunno wht happened, but bot's not ard most of the time now... Hope it comes back permantly soon... The last time I chk yeartop10, I was in... Dunno if MI5 or Sniperman played tis afternoon, if thy did, most prob I'm outta yeartop10 liao...

Kk.. Enuff of stoning liao... Time to go to bed n zzz...

$$ 1st Pay Check As A Recruitment Consultant $$

Got my first pay check ystday... At last... Unknowingly, I've worked for a mth already... Hmm, tt's pretty fast. More orders coming in already... Hope can close these deals.

Been OT-ing these few days too cos another temp colleague of mine, Shuhui, cant cm to work. Her dad jus passed away n she jus received her 'O's, so I guess she still need another wk to sort out her stuff n application to poly... Another reason is that the general placement division's manager on MC, so I have to help out the admin there too...

Tired, yes... money, YES... Reminds me of the times in Taka. Damn tired but keep taking full shifts cos not enuff staff n aso due to the crowd, so have to help out lor... Responsibility comes in whn doing anythg, esp whn working.

Toopid Ass-ernal! Why must they win the match? Now Man U's 2nd in the table... Haizzz...

Brain dead... Time to koonzzzz... Dreamland, here I come...

Wishing n hoping

Man U's playing a UEFA Champions League Tie later and they better win... Win is good!!!

Had 2 job orders cfm on Monday cos the client faxed back the agreement form to us. Damn happy. Now jus hoping that they will take the candidate frm us, thn the deal will be considered closed.

K, got distracted by irc... Will type an entry another day....

Winnie, tanjiobi omedetto!!!

Was at Winn's diary jus now, she's down wif some kinda rash, hope she'll get better today cos its her bday!!!

Been kinda happy at work these few days cos there are companies who are keeping in contact wif us and might hire us as their agents for their current job openings, and I made those calls!!! Haha... Jus gt that kinda satisfication, although I wun get any commission lah... I guess the challenge of this job is to secure job orders n eventually having the client to choose a candidate frm yr agency on top of other agencies working on tis order too. That would be the best thing that can happen to me...

Well, that's all frm me now... Off to play multi-player Stronghold...

Angpows, more pls......

Writing an entry jus for the sake of writing one cos its been ages since I wrote one...

My job's kinda nice, not bad... Kinda lax... Doin simple admin stuff, cold-calling and helping my manager process resumes and set interview times. Only irritating part is the cold-calling part. Telemarketing is damn blardi tough! Have to hit an avg target of 30 calls per days... Haiz... Singapore gt so many dot.com and IT companies meh? Startin to work full days on Tues and Wed now. After I get my first pay, I've gotta start looking at the courses that I'll wana take...

Chinese New Year now... A few days more before the 15th comes. Angpows' kinda fat considering the economy now. I initially tot tt my angpow money will shrink... Hehe... Anway, more is gd! *evil smirk

Bugger dunno go whr... Heard tt the bot will be back in a wk's time... Hopefully it'll be back at the end of the week...

Consider this an update? Mayb... A short one perhaps... Off to dreamland...

Another short update

I've found a job!!! Hehe... Starting work on Monday. I'll be working as a Part-Time Recruitment Consultant. Kinda excited... Hehe... 1 shot 1 kill... First interview since I started my job hunt and I got it... Damn heng... Basically, the title kinda sounds nice, but wht I'll be doin will be admin and clerical duties... Hopefully I can learn more stuff other thn jus wht I'm doing, like basics of HR...

It's been a long time since I trained. Didn't tot of that till Chris mentioned it. I hate to drink plain water, if anyone noticed. Thn Chris said drink like athlete, dun jus sip little by little. I replied, I'm not an athlete. He said you play softball rite? Rite... Ages ago sia... Mayb its time to start throwing, catching n batting...Anyway, athlete dun sound rite, sportswoman mayb? Hehe... Must go down n train with Jan thy all liao...

Bugger's gone again cos netsplit... Haiz... Trivia's moved frm galaxynet to cobra.net, but it seems tt cobra has a higher chance to netsplit. Thk go zzz first, wakey thn play...

Off I go to dreamland...

Short update...

Went for a job interview ystday. Hopefully it works out fine thn I'll have a job. Chris gog for his on Thurday. Hopefully tt's works out too. Hehe...

Bugger's on holiday aft a ping timeout tt day. Haizzz, dunno whn cmin back... So sianzzz... Ntg to do online 'cept playing trivia, chking e-mails, neopets, chking accts at jobsdb n jobstreet and d/l songs... Jus installed audiogalaxy, damn shiok... Yet to start reading BHD the online book cos I jus starting reading Angela's Ashes n kinda addicted to it... Hehe...

Ntg else to blabber abt... Next entry perhaps... Oh yah, kinda having flu. Caught the flu bug frm dunno who, 2 suspects on the list.

Re: Grievances

Another entry before I go... As the title suggest, mayb u like wana look back on tis entry... (I'm mad to reply to my own entry)

May I be honoured to announce that Manchester United FC is now currently sitting on the TOP of the Premiership table. Hahahahaha... Now who said Man Utd gone case?!?!?! 3-1 defeat = a big hoo-ha lah, 7 pages lah... Hw cm I dun c tt kinda attention now whn Man Utd's leading the pack?

Oh yah, a particular Mr Edwin, u CAN eat yr words now or alternatively, u CAN wipe yr arse and stuff words up…

Hmpf...... Yessssssssssh......... Man Utd's leading.........

Glory Glory Man United... Glory Glory Man United... Glory Glory Man United...

Muuuaaaaaaahhahahahahaha...

Black Hawk Down

Another entry at a weird time of the day. If anyone noticed, my entries are often written in the weee hours in the morning or at night, tt explains y I say it's weird.

Caught Black Hawk Down ystday. Yes... A new movie by Joshua Daniel Hartnett. Hehe... A movie depicting the actual happenings in Mogadishu, Somalia where 18 American soldiers were killed. Great movie. Hmm, y do I say tt... How many movies u watched, how many scripts/ screenplays r written bearing in mind perspectives from the different characters?

Tis film did tt, covered the soliders pov, as well as the Somali militia. I still cant find the script or the screenplay for the movie yet, but some lines spoken by a Somali went something like "tis is our war, a civil war, other pple shld not intervene". Power... The only word I can use to describe those lines. I can't describe y I feel like tt, but whn I heard those lines, I was speechless. Films I've watched, the dialouge has nvr struck me like tt before. It's jus so... er... cant describe... Give up...

I thk the credit goes to the author of the bk, Mark Bowden. He interviewed the American soldiers who fought on tis mission. He aso paid a visit to Mogadishu, to tok to the Somalis thr who fought and tried to understand their pov. I've read 2 interviews which Mark Bowden gave n I'm gog to start reading the book, Black Hawk Down. Its avaliable online at inquirer.philly.com/packages/somalia/, mayb u pple might wana take a look... Heard tt the film's as close as it gets to the bk... US interventions in Somalia led me thking of Vietnam war whr the US army played a part too. Time to search n bkmark pages before starting to read the book...

Off I go...

Looking for a job...

Haha, I must be mad to submit an entry at this hour of the day cos I dun usually do it. Just feeling bored and have ntg to do, so I figured tt cmin here to blabber sm stuff might be the best way out to spend sm time before I start to trivia. Hehe... trivia again? Yes... Haha... Piangzzz, gotta cut down, too much time thr already...

Updates abt me? Life's been kinda sweet n nice 'cept for the unemployed part. Been looking at the newspapers the last few days, hoping to land a part time job soon. Well, I've figured that plan C is the best way out. Some of you may thk that I'm mad to thk this way. Slowly I believe that youth only passes one once, let it slip and u'll NEVER EVER get it back.Anyway, since I'm young, I guess it's better for me to take the courses and do the things that I wanna do, before I wana settle down in my life, find a full time job to earn my keep which means no time for these wanna-do-stuff, and realise it's too late.

School term has started again, dunno if the softball pple are gonna have training. Hopefully I'd have the time to join them if thy are gonna train.

Been wanting to mentioned tis but always slipped my mind... Hmm... Last few God knows hw many mths, I haven been tokin to Ping n calling her much compared to the past. On NY's eve, I gave her a call to wish her happy new year. Although the conversation was damn short cos she needed to fix her VCR, the feeling was very nice, extremely nice to be excat... Mayb it's time to catch up the gd times with my jie meis too... Gotta call thm out sm day, n 5 of us, n i mean FIVE of us, no absentees allowed... Saw Ange n Jen tt day... Yue called me tt day too... Winn, if you reading tis, jus wana let you kn that I've been reading yr diary n kn wht's gog on in yr life. Abt those backstabbers, who gives a damn... The dearest dept we were studying in was blardi full of thm...

On to my trivia... Hehe...

Choosing a gate

In the last 2 entries, i rattled some stuff... Hmm...

Sometimes I tell myself after a failed realtionship tt I must learn to be a more selfish lover but I doubt I can do tt cos tt's not how Cancerian women are... Cancerian women are supposed to be passionate n devoted n I thk tt's me. Now I'm hovering between half-opened and opened gates (those who read the last 2 entries can sorta get tis). After the first failed one I told myself tt's it, never ever commit too much in a relationship. But still, being a Cancerian, the "crab" won its way n I got blardi hurt again...I'm so afraid of getting hurt, but whn I develop feelings for someone, I can't stop myself.

What is astrology man? Some things said are so so true. Espeically for me... Choosing to leave it half open or opening it wide again... Or shld I choose to close it, the only way to protect myself? Haizzz...

Back to trivia......

Something short

Just a short entry for today before I go play my trivia... Hehe... Anyway, as I'm typing tis, I'm like getting kinda excited... Hehe...

In the past I've never tot of miting pple who I kn over the net, let alone likeing someone. #Cobratrivia's a nice place to hang out and the channel outing was kinda nice cos we all gt to c each other n get to know each other rather thn over thru the net but aso thru toking, sms, blah blah blah... Somehw, we are no longer irc frds but frds, real LIFE frds... After saying tis, pple, go figure... Hehe...

My dear frds, if u're reading tis entry, come to the above channel at galaxynet. It's damn fun... Hehe...

K lah, I'm gog to trivia already... So I'm ending tis entry here...

New entry for the New Year

First entry for the New Year...

So many things happened since the last entry. And all of the sudden I had developed a habit of reading past entries before writing new ones.

I can’t recall what happened on the 23rd of Dec, but I hanged out on the 24th n 25th wif Kevin, Jan n Zhou… 25th was a nice day, very nice…

I guess I was playing trivia like mad from the 26th to the 30th, as usual… At home doin ntg, jus trivia, chatting, phonecalls. A voice nagging in my head to start on my resume, but I jus pushed it aside…

31st, hanged out wif Jan n Zhou. Went to have dinner n thy came over to spend the nite at my place. Hong came over for a while, while his bro was at his gf’s place somewhr in my estate…

1st day 2002, jus slipped past like tt… was practically online almost the whole day…

And the whole of last week? Ditto… Blardi hell, really no life lor… It’s like everyday at home, eat, zzz, phone, chat, trivia… A voice beside me, yes beside me, (read: my mum) nagging like siao… Resume? Yes, abt tt lor, but haizz, I’m still not doin anythg abt it yet. I’m so damn blardi lazy… Mayb its time to sit down n thk wht I really want…

Plan A: Go Murdoch? I guess tt degree can wait… I’m broke n I nd money… Once I’m in Australia, thr are stuff which I wana do, but I can’t…

Plan B: Look for a full time job? That is gd… Stable income… Day in, day out, work work work… At least I can get money…

Plan C: Look for a part-time job? This might b better afterall… I have the money n time… Time is impt to me, cos thr are stuff which I wana do n if I hold a full-time job (read: shifts… yes, tis is the job nature), I wun have the time to do… But, money? A full-time job pays more… Haizzz…

And yes, I’m lazy to thk abt such stuff too…

Some songs have been playing in my mind. One of them is by (I thk) Hardaway… It goes like, “What is love, baby dun hurt me, baby dun hurt me, no more…” Another is Desperado by Eagles, I dunno y but I jus can’t bring myself to type out the lyrics… Those who’ve heard tis song b4, go figure…

Eagles singing tt song to me? Mayb… Mayb its him, mayb he took so much of my love n my heart away. I suspect myself... What if I happen to have feelings for someone, will I open up my heart as much as I did? Will I open up the gates or the fences? Will I commit as much? Finally, will I be able to love him deeply? Mayb I’m afraid of failure, afraid that the next relationship will not work out. Everythg must try… Yes I know tt, but if I tried, really hard n yet it still failed? A Chinese song once had the lyrics “ bei ai shi xing fu, ai ren shi tong ku”, it means being loved by someone is a fortune, but loving someone is painful… Why can’t thr b a balanced of both? If 2 pple love each other equally, thr wun be broken hearts n breakups rite? Haizzz, I really dunno…

Shucks, I better start thking wht I wan now soon lor… Argh…….. Hate tis type of thking stuff, really hate to make decisions whn at crossroads. But I do need to lead myself the way I wana live rite? Haizzzzzzzz….
