My Shopping List for August 2006 - August 2008

2006-07-19T16:40:00.000+08:00

I've kinda compiled a little list for shopping in a long run...
stuffs to boast my quad G5 and hopefully, the pavement to a career of freelancing in the near future... (I'm working damn hard now for it... my lack of commercial exp is my worst hit at the moment.. sad...)

1) The most wanted item at the moment: iSight from Apple!!
currently, the only webcam that I've known that worked with mac... pretty sad... but it seems like this is a hell gd webcam... why do I wanna get that? er... so that probably I can get another webcam for zhuzhu ba... then at least we still can see each other even if we're busy to meet up.. and somehow I foresee it to be an item for everyone in the coming age of the next generation of technology... ipcams and pc to pc calling is getting more and more common... the new era for the internet will be arriving fast, in fact much faster than what many of us might have expected... things will be so much different once Vista and Leopard is out... thus meeting clients and customers or even friends aboard will be so much simpler and convenient very soon!

2) 2 X 1gb of DDR2 ram to pump up my current 2 X 1gb of DDR2 ram
I guess I need the extra pump so that I will be able to run several heavy duty application at the same time to save up time consumption as times goes... and inespecially with big projects that might come by to me... plus I'm thinking of getting another huge harddisk solely for the purpose of keeping all projects and none other rubbish else...

3) 1 X 250gb/500gb SATA harddisk
Sole use only for projects and nothing else should be on it...

4) 1 or 2 X 19" CRT or LCD display
Will need to evaluate more on whether I'll need one or two of these... and depending on variables such as probably space saving or trueness of the display colour will very much place me in getting either a CRT or a LCD... of course the price is a big decision making factor... currently, the price of both is of a slight difference...

of course, if I strike lottery one day, I'll probably get the Apple Cinematic Display instead... hahahaa!

Our Fourth ! (15th July 2002 - 15th July 2006)

2006-07-19T13:12:00.000+08:00

It's been three lazy days le ever since our fourth year anniversary... four years le... time really flies man... I once heard from someone asking, how long can love really last...? I do wonder in fact, how long can one last from the constant showering his/her lover on their partner? I guess it's all about how one interprets a question... it's all about each and one's thinking i guess...

In fact, I think the giving far more important than the return expected... maybe this is probably why we could last till now... both of us have been trying hard to fulfill this thought; trying to give happiness then to receive happiness... or maybe this is what they might mean by double happiness, happiness given selfless from each other...

thus, I hope we will be as the same like this forever and ever... far into the years to come...
and here's the makan adventures for our FOURTH!

We went to Serene Centre; it's the little short and stout building opposite Adam Rd Hawker Centre... This Black Canyon Coffee aint just any other coffee joint for caffaine-addicts... it is in fact kinda a 'high class' restaurant from Thailand... Think this is the only branch till now in Singapore... Have heard that they're opening another new branch somewhere soon but I forgot where... hahaa... in anyway, one can impossibly not mistaken the place as a coffee joint once stepped in... the interiors resembles so much like other coffee sellers like Coffee Club or Starbucks (I'll leave Coffee Bean out coz it really looks of a higher class than Coffee Bean...) and you will be surprise of what they've got on the menu... their food reminds you so much that you're in fact in a Thai restaurant with all those thai food... and their coffee... is something that I've not tried yet till now... think I should give them a try someday... when it's raining heavily maybe...? it's best to have a gd dose of hot coffee on cold rainy days... thus, on the whole, they're something like a mix breed of a coffee-joint like Coffee Club and Sakura Family restaurat with a Thai flavour... A very interesting combi I would say... Ok! enough introduction on them (they probably have to compliment me with a cup of coffee if they get more customers; those who had read my blog here.. hah!) Here's the menu we had..

She had my recommendation; Pad Thai... I actually mistaken it for Pataya... so paiseh man... hahaa~

Tada! the infamous Pad Thai from our Thais... It's amazingly of a huge serving and it simply tastes like heaven... slightly oily on the other hand... definitely a thumbs up for Char Kuay Tiao lovers looking for a new taste..

I on the other hand had this Frusilli with Fresh Prawn in Tom Yum Soup... A definitely no-no for those who can't take the spiciness!! (simply gotta love it!)

and here comes our Frusilli with Fresh Prawn in Tom Yum Soup... very tom yum with hmmm... curry powder i think... really spicy... go for it if you're very into spicy soups, especially if you're a tom yum lover! however, the rest doesn't really taste out much coz i think the soup is too much the spicy tom yum... but it's gd for filling in with gd tom yum~ so it isn't really that bad lah.. hahahaa..

Like I've said... very similar to the Sakura's... we've a plate of Baby Kailan with oyster sauce... really quite a huge portion once again and they taste simply delicious... not to mention the vege is real fresh; you can feel the crunch in them once you start munching on them... yum yum!

She had the Lemon with Honey and mine with Ice Rose Tea... both are GREATLY recommended and if you are looking for a drink that'll relief you from the heatiness of the Singapore all-year round summer, try the Ice Rose Tea in especially... it kinda helps in relieving the tension in you too...

Here's a cool coaster with quite cool slogans... 'A drink from paradise... available on Earth'
How nice...

After the very very extremely late lunch at Black Canyon, we got onto a Thai Bus... hahaaa... actually it's just bus 174 from SBS with a thailand ad... I'm kinda surprise how similar both this Thailand advertising's slogan can be with their Black Canyon... They really like the idea of Earth thingy huh??

*And so... we headed down to The Cathay to meetup with 'an old friend';Superman Returns.. The movie was simply great... it's been soo loong since I last saw a Superman movie... can't really seem to remember when I last watched but man... Superman is so much classic... so much more classic than even Batman... the more recent movies converted from comics and video games are so much bored... and aint much exciting in plot and the 'human-touch' to the hero is always neglected... I must say I kinda like Silent Hill's effort though coz they've tried hard to have camera angles exactly to be how it was in the game.. (although it was all only in the beginning 15- 20 mins only?) the rest of Silent Hill is pretty much crap though.. sad...

Okay.. enough of all those talk to bored everyone who's reading my blog.. here's some photos we took over at those coin-eating machines found in ActionCity;they sure do a gd job burning pockets... thinking back it's quite sometime since we last visit such machines... the only thing stupid about them is that they doesnt really cater to ppl with greater heights... I aint very tall but already I can't stand up straight coz half of my head will gone! and so.. i had to bend down like The Hunchback of Notre Dame..

anyway.. back to Superman Returns... I find it awfully similar in the coverage on superhero's 'human' side just like Batman Begins(afterall they're all still flesh and blood with feelings, although Superman can be considered 'alien' coz he's from another planet, not planet Earth... hah!) I kinda dig such plots coz I realised that movies nowadays like to indulge soo much into special effects and very often exaggerate extremely on the 'superbly-inhuman-powers'.. making them like god.. thousands and millions of bullets and lasers flying all about but yet not even a SINGLE SCRATCH?!?!? I kinda like the more oldern days heroes... like Arnold Schwarzenegger in True Lies and even the first Robocop movie... they're so much truer to life... so much real and felt so unfaked... and now I'm so tempted to get hold of the Superman movie series and watch everything all over again... not to mention our all-time hero Christopher Reeve... it's a pity he's left all of us though... but hey.. I'm not saying that Brandon Routh has done a bad job... He's great too in bringing back the Superman in us all...

Being pretty satisfied with Superman Returns, there came the need to return the call of nature... hah! well... simply mean that it's supper time! and so we pop down to the Kopithiam located next to Hotel Rendezvous... argh... that was MY WORST SUPPER NIGHTMARE!!! @ food court price somemore~!! oh my dog...

This plate of Char Kuay Tiao is simply the lousiest of all in the whole of Singapore! It only have the taste of Chao Ta and nothing else!! what a FailURE@! and we wasted $4 on it coz I was kinda in the mood for both love and Char Kuay Tiao.. should had went to MakanSutra over at esplanade instead... but it's ok... We were feeling lazy to walk all the way down there and there was no bus left...

Oops.. I forgot to take photos of the Dim Sums... and the stupid 'silent hill' character selling Dim Sum... Very rude guy who speaks a few words.. so few that he simply gave you Char Siew Bao where there's no more Xiao Long Bao.. without telling you no more Xiao Long Bao... Thanks man... ur service is truly the 'best'... Your Dim Sums are also as 'Best' as your service lor... again.. one of the worst in singapore... I really missed Hong Kong Dim Sums... they're the BEST!!! should go there someday again for makan and relax... perhaps some shopping too... maybe can jio Yongzhi and Tienhong along... think she's more familiar with HK much more than me ba...? dunno lah... see how lor... no money no talk... no time also talk cock lah... hahahaa...

The last item on our menu for supper... er.. dunno what is this called... but I guess, Red Ruby with Sago... or something like that... it taste like ice... really!! like having weird jellies with ice... no taste at all!!! the last item on the Worst Makan Spot in Singapore; Kopithiam next to Hotel Rendezvous... My dear friends... Pls dun... i repeat... Pls DON'T go there... unhappiness and lost of wealth will be experience... (just dun go there and waste money lah.. make an effort to MakanSutra if you wanna spend the money... it's more worthwhile over there.!!)

Finally, just something interesting to share with everyone... This is a new shop opened @ The Cathay!! Interesting shop I would say... with interesting prices... we took a brochure and have a peep at what they offer and how they charge.. for the fun of checking out... so... Strip anyone? hah!

What Kind of Seducer Are You?

2006-07-14T13:30:00.002+08:00

Your Seduction Style: Sweet Talker

Your seduction technique can be summed up with "charm"
You know that if you have the chance to talk to someone...
Well, you won't be talking for long! ;-)

You're great at telling potential lovers what they want to hear.
Partially, because you're a great reflective listener and good at complementing.
The other part of your formula? Focusing your conversation completely on the other person.

Your "sweet talking" ways have taken you far in romance - and in life.
You can finess your way through any difficult situation, with a smile on your face.
Speeding tickets, job interviews... bring it on! You truly live a *charmed life*

Swayest Day of My LIFE!!!

2006-07-13T00:06:00.000+08:00

OMG! I bet today's the most swayest day of my life~!!!! I know this doesn't really fit into my makan idea but wah lauz eh i just can't tahan when I saw someone that looked perfect like him.. and he came up to me, tap my on my shoulder and said a big hi to me, calling out my name... argh... I think I need a change of name already...

Yes! It's been years but he's just probably the only guy I could not tolerate and tahan.. I'll not name him here but let's just call him Nick's most hated idiot... hahahaa~

well... luckily the rest of the day was a bless... especially the trio-dinner with MT and May... pretty sad we couldn't go to the ktv idea that candice proposed coz I have an interview tmw and MT's got work tmw as well... well.. in short today's a bless with a tiny little black stain that will forever stay stubborn and strong without fading at all, not even the slightest..

Hopefully, tmw's gonna be a much better day... I shall post in another post tmw in regards of my experience at work probably these few days...

work work~!!!

2006-07-12T00:40:00.000+08:00

These few days of mine have been really satisfying and fulfilling as once again I enjoyed the wonders of working in productions... the teamwork and having to do work altogether to make the production a gd one is such receipe for a good night of satisfaction from a hard day's work... getting to know new friends/collegeues and getting to learn more new stuffs simply enriches these little days of my life... I guess I belong to those workaholic type of guys... that's it if I am in the single category... hah! and of coz I will always try to make an effort to make sure my dear zhuzhu is not left alone...

speaking of which, do watch out for my next few posts as a BIG Makan Adventure awaits for this coming Saturday! YESSS~~ it's our 4th year anniversary!! Four years have gone and it seems like a flash but looking back, it was filled with soo much unforgettable memories... I hope and definitely I am sure we will work hard to have much much much more happy memories to be created in the very near future and the very much later future...

In the meanwhile, I will be enjoying my days of working hard out there in productions and tiring out myself in sweat..

PrataShop Near Jurong East Polyclinic

2006-07-09T15:43:00.000+08:00

On the very same night, after dinner @ Wan Chai and a casual walk around IMM... We went down straight to one of my favourite food hunts... The pretty much ulu pratashop that's located at the carpark opposite of the Jurong East Polyclinic...

They've quite some prata ideas that you dun see else where... and besides the 'traditional' ones... you'll get to enjoy your favourites like the cheese prata, plaster, not forgetting my favourite banana prata and durian prata... yummy!

Thirsty on the food? dun worry, like any other pratashops, you will be able to enjoy local 'specialised' drinks such as tehcino, dinosaur, milo peng, teh peng and more...

and for those on your first visit, be sure to check out their "Leaning Tower of Pisa"; tissue prata
it's freakingly big and high in height! My first try on them was when my mum actually ordered TWO of them!! we could barely finishing it although there were 5 of them then... and it's always so much and filled with sugar... my mum had to ask them to cut down half the sugar everytime she orders them after that freakin incident... the sugar is simply too much but probably satisfying for extreme sugartooths!

I'm sorry that I didnt get the name of the shop but hey there's only one 24hr pratashop around that little area... I've provided a map for you so that you will not get lost; courtesy from streetdirectory.com...

I promise I'll get more pictures and details on my next trip down... plus more reviews on other 'goodies' in their menu there... you see, they do serve more than just pratas...
and this ends the night of 'evilness'...
till the next Makan Adventure...

Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room @ IMM Jurong East

2006-07-09T15:03:00.000+08:00

Last night we (ahtoot & xiaozhu) went to IMM to get a gd taste on the Wan Chai's delicacies...
very fortunately, this is where I was when the idea of revamping this blog came in..
but very unfortunately also, we had already finished up 90% of the food we ordered by the time it stroke me...

thus here's a quick look on our order..

I had Hot & Spicy Gong Zai Mian [公仔面], and she wanna order Fresh Shrimp Dumpling Noodles with soup [鲜虾水校面汤] but I blurblur made a wrong order instead on Fresh Shrimp Wanton Noodles with soup [鲜虾云吞面汤]... sorry dear... really 不是故意的... after all you had one whole night of free food didnt you? hehehee...

Carrying on the list down, I had tried hongkong's famous yuanyang [鴛鴦]; it's actually coffee mixed with tea... on first taste, it kinda tasted bland and weird... but it taste so much better on every sip u take... and the cup they provided u for yuanyang is so cute, it's almost like a mini soup bowl... amazingly this combi actually brings out both coffee and tea's individual's fragrance altogether! I like it! Xiaozhu then had a less adventurous night, and ordered the pretty infamous black & white; chinchow soya milk... their black & white is nothing lousier than the yuanyang either... the chinchow is plenty and taste pretty good, the soya milk is pretty much thick enough...

However, if you're a big eater like me; with a real big appetite... you might probably be complaining abt the portion being kinda small... But i guess it's a 'Tea Room'... maybe it's not suppose to make you THAT full??

Nevertheless, I wasn't really satisfy and too much crave I had to check out their toasts... ever since I had toasts from Ya Kun ages ago... they're still the best till now... but Wan Chai can very much par with them now... I had their Thick Toast with Butter and Maple Syrup and it's fantastic! They had this thick slice of bread with a layer of egg 'sandwiching' the bread and a gd spreadful of maple syrup that doesn't taste very sweet at all plus 2 big slices of butter melting on top of the 'hot out of the oven' toast... woo hoo~ it taste just like heaven...

and for desert, they've got quite some gd 'oldies' like the sesame paste and yuanyang paste... there's a section on healthy deserts as well as their specialities... we kinda dig the specialities and made an order for the sago mango pudding ice-cream...
but alas it's quite disappointing to see the portion again.. a tiny scoop of mango ice-cream on top of a layer of sago, altogether simply piling on a pretty tiny mango pudding... sob.. so much for the intense excitement as I was waiting for it to be 'delivered' to my already watery mouth; I have a big weakness for deserts and pastries...

again.. I apologise for not having pictures to entice you more...
and all thanks to my black V3, I've pictures that's not very much terrific...
will definitely try to save up for a nice good digicam in the near future...

A REVAMP SOON TO BE COMPLETED~!

2006-07-09T14:51:00.000+08:00

Hi guys~
It's me again~
I've been wondering what I can do to make myself more 'moltivated' to blog in more often in my entries... and all these while, I've found myself none solutions...

Until last night when I was having dinner outside and discussing with zhuzhu of where we will be heading to for more gd food next saturday; which happens to be our 4th year anniversary! yeah~ hahaa... it's been long but yet feels short... we'll have more ahead for many years to go... I'm sure of it... :p

Ok in short, I've decided to revamp this blog to a FULLY FOCUS blog on My Makan Adventures~ since I am always out looking for good food... might as well talk about it and introduce all good food to everyone!

So please do keep a close lookout over here for the couple of days... as I will be changing the web addie soon... the current one is not really suitable anymore for the new contents...

Thus I wanna thanks for all those of you out there who has been patiently keeping up with me... and hope things will come much better in the coming future.. better than before!

Cheers!

GUARANTEE NO SHRINK

2006-07-07T14:42:00.000+08:00

An ang moh touring Hong Kong had been told by his friends back home that one could get really good bargains on cloths but that one would have to be careful.

This gentleman went bargain-hunting and chanced upon a well-established shop. When he found a branded shirt that cost half the price of what was being sold back home, he rubbed his hands in glee.

Having been warned of cheap shirts, he began to scrutinise the shirt carefully and smiled when he saw a label that was sewn on the shirt.

It reads " Guarantee No Shrink ".

Convinced that he had indeed found a great bargain, he went ahead and bought half a dozen shirts.Back at the hotel, he took out the shirts and sent them to the laundry. He was eager to put them on and see some envious faces in his tour group.

When the shirts returned from the hotel laundry, he was shocked that all of them had shrunk by at least three sizes! He looked at the label again to assure himself that he had not read it wrongly.

Yes, it clearly read : " GUARANTEE NO SHRINK ".

He immediately took the shirts back to the shop and asked to see the manager. The manager came out, listened to his complaint and then calmly pointed to the label and said: " You Westerners read from left to right. We Chinese read from right to left."

Hot Day's Night

2006-06-29T19:30:00.000+08:00

phew... these few days the weather has been really very 'high'.. so much to make myself feel so 'high' man..
the sun has been working real hard to bbq everyone under the sun and i bet all those idiots who goes sun tanning these few days will probably end up like construction site workers man..

speaking of which, I really have to give these ppl my respect... they're all on the site working and building on 'everyone's future' regardless of rain or shine... without them, there's really no such thing as Singapore lor... imagine no flats, no office buildings and all those makan makan places... for others, no clubbings, no pubs and no geylang for some of you out there.. hah!

okok... think i've gotten too far a topic from my intended one le... in anyway I had an agenda planned for this week and I kinda manage to get a little tick on each of them... here's the list...

1) Get my room more tidy up; my rubbishes are piling up high like shit!
2) Continue and search hard for job and get an interview asap! yes yes... I've been working hard... to get a job but till now no luck and I guess I need to brush up my interview skills technique real much too... come on! where and when's my next challenge!?
3) in the meanwhile, finding myself a full time job, I'll need to get myself working for some bucks!

thus... I've got my room very much about 75% of what I need to do clean up today~ tada~ one miracle accomplished~!
and... I've been sending out resumes just like the usual other days... now just have to keep looking out for more and keep my fingers cross for a call/reply back to me, so that we can arrange to talk!
lastly, I've got some luck with temp jobs i guess.. hah! hongkun have this pa; production assistant cum grip job this weekend... yeah~ and tmw i'll be back at my mum's boss to help out in their unpacking for their clinic...
luckily for these sudden little pieces of luck piece together, I will survive~~~~ I will survive~~~~
hah..

and speaking of which... i think I will need to check out all my creditors again for all that they've owed me...
guess i'll give them a msg tmw... or maybe a call... see how tmw... it'll be a busy weekend ahead...
gd luck to us all~

right & wrong

2006-06-29T12:59:00.000+08:00

was I right to do that?
was I wrong?

I really dunno this time..
I am at lost...

once again near our anniversary..

maybe I am not suitable for her afterall?
maybe I just said everything in a fit...

what is this feeling I have within me?
it is so in-exact.. unstable...
what exactly is it?

once again I had drop into the valleys of confusions and complexions...

wrk wrk...

2006-06-29T01:27:00.000+08:00

I guess the chinese zodiac prediction thingy is pretty much true for me in this dreadful year... it's suppose to be MY year;Dog. but nothing seems to be working fine... Nothing went well with my 'work' or rather my job search... Family was really going very smoothly... there are some complications in within complications... Love life? it's even worse... mixed with complications, ironies, downs and a little ups... Money? there's no need to say more... coz in reality, no work = no money... and no career = no future... no future = no happiness, no happiness = no life, thus you can say i'm in the no life section now... sigh...

actually, thinking back, I was about to announce this blog totally dead and scrap everything that was here... now I'm kinda gald I didnt do that... this is the only world that truly belongs to me and myself... all the rubbish and all the stupidity and all the fustration i can have, i can have it all thrown down here...

maybe this is the only gd thing that has happened to me till now since 1st January 2006... and who knows what might be next coming up my front door... could it be gd? or could it be bad/worse? we'll see...

Cleaning Up The Apple Mighty Mouse

I'm a Lamborghini Murcielago!

You're not subtle, but you don't want to be. Fast, loud, and dramatic, you want people to notice you, and then get out of the way. In a world full of sheep, you're a raging bull.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

Bad Cough

2006-06-20T09:55:00.000+08:00

Sigh... there's an interview later @ 11... ppl... please do wish me gd luck... I need it badly... hah...
really jialat man... last night practically cannot sleep at all due to a pretty serious, pretty bad cough...
got my 'pay' from mum's boss le... $55... not too bad... only to find myself using up $40 for seeing the doc...
gosh... this is bad!
anyway, the cough's really very bad... think i almosts cough out my lungs...
hope i do recover fast on this...

not enough sleep man...
later come back from interview in the afternoon, sleep i will...
yawn...

complexity

2006-06-16T00:30:00.000+08:00

she's back home again very late... for a secondary 2 kid in the family to be back home at 2300++ is really too late and dangerous for her... sometimes i really do wonder if we are the ones who dun understand her or is it the other way round?
reminds me of my own old times... things really gets so complex when u're transiting from primary school to secondary school...
how can i or what can i do to really help her?
the only question that i kept asking myself constantly...
i've tried many ways to try keep the balance in the family balanced... but things still do happen... issit the method that we're using wrong? or issit our understanding between the different generations gap is crumbling?

at the moment, i do not have an answer to it...

sleepless night..

2006-06-14T01:34:00.000+08:00

gosh... it's been one of those sleepless night.. my biological clock has been so awfully distorted that I wanna turn things back right it was when i was recovering from my operation many years back..

manage to have a gd early sleep today actually until the loud laughters and chattering conversation in the living room woke me up... it's my sis again... omg... told her to tone down coz it's bloody 1230 already!!! everyone's sleeping le and she's still talking like it's 3pm in the afternoon! coughing at the same time!!! what the hell is she thinking of??? wah kaoz eh...

and then wat happened next was that i walked out of my room to give her a piece of my mind...
she went back to room and 'secretly' continue watching tv in the very same room where mum is trying to get rest for yet another busy day ahead tmw... I can't seem to understand this 'youngster' anymore... she can't get her grades well to even a pass and no significant effort has been seen to make things better... holidays has started and i bet she has barely touched her homeworks...

and now the best thing is that I am now here at bloody 0138am posting on my blog coz i couldnt get to sleep due to the 'wakeup call' by her... all my plans to turn things round tonight has all been wrecked!!! argh! then came a nature call from my stomach as i try hard to make myself fall back to slumber... damn it! had too early my dinner @ 5+, after zuanye's graduation ceremony...

sigh.. sadly and hungrily, i went to cook a packet of noodles... and now here posting all these...
and yup.. its just started raining now outside... like a little response to all that had happened earlier on...
pretty drama huh.. damn... i am still so fedup...

excited but disappointed..

2006-06-11T16:34:00.000+08:00

as in my last entry, i was sooo excited abt the new year and the stuffs that lies ahead of me for the year...
but nothing has gone right, not even one...
thus all excitement has gone down to nothing but disappointment and despair...
desperation I would say is what probably something that had been laid for me for the year...
no luck with job search..
everyone around me getting unhappy and sigh... not a single thing went right...

just hopefully, things will be so much better in the last half of the year...
teck, maybe that chinese new year horoscope thingy is pretty true afterall...
hah...

zhu, I'm sorry for everything that i had done wrong...
pls do pardon me at times...

mum, I'm terribly sorry the most to you... although i know you will never see this but i have till now really owe you soo much and too much... I promise you that in the near future once all this bad luck of mine has gone, nothing will be like that as now...

shuwei, i know i've been hard on you.. just wanna know i was really pretty disappointed with you in quite some ways.. just hope things will be getting better for you... i know it's really very hard in such times coz i went thru the worst time of my life in that same moment as yours too..

zuanye, hey! very BIG congratulations to your new found job and hope you'll be working smoothly without much difficulties, but well... on the other hand, you'll actually learn things only when u meet with difficulties isn't it? hah.. wat i talking man...
in anyway Best of Luck!

and lastly, i hope all of my friends out there have smooth sailing days ahead... best of luck and hope to see you guys soon...
we've been very very very very lost in contact already for quite some of them... coz i have been toooo anti-social for the past few years le... thinking back... it really feels sad to have 'lost' such gd friends whom I had really precious memories with... although some might not even be in singapore already...

well.. untill the next post... i hope soon...
take care!

Cheers~

2006!

2006-01-02T00:26:00.000+08:00

Helloo guys...
Welcome back with my silent, quiet end to 2005 and a BIG LOUD WELCOME TO 2006!!!

I'm back to my own page with a BIG BANG! (believe it or not this time I am going to try my best do keep this page updated as often as I can...)

Okay... I know some of you who might had pop by zhuzhu's page and now coming over to reprimand me on my 'laziness'... but very well in fact, I've been 'researching' for my own 'upgrading' for both my skills and my 'softs'... need time to find them and need time to 'get' them too... I guess both my sisters are pretty much frustrated over the laggy game that they've been so madly involved into in... that bring us back into yet another problem that had been going on for a while but well... it was all over in 2005... so why bother look back and complain about it? I find it no point lah...

so well... many many many many things had happened since my last update here till my first new step here in 01 01 2006...
There will be only new resolutions that I will be fighting, working, searching for... but I guess what I hope most is to set out for a new 'adventure' in my life... A new chapter...

and nope I dun really like the idea of announcing what I wanna archieve for the year and stuffs like that... I think I wanna bring myself out to a more open-minded guy... coz I dun wanna to restrain myself to certain limits... I wanna push myself out of the plain square box...[my supposedly slogan for my planned company, which now will probably be setting up much later, i've gota push it back a little due to current commitments]

so well... the most important thing to do for me know is to wish all of you out there a HAPPY NEW YEAR and hope that I'll be able to catch up with what I've been losing touch with... all of what I had lost before...

Cheers!
HAPPY 2006!!!

烦

烦哪烦哪烦得不能呼吸
烦哪烦哪烦得没有力气烦哪　我烦啊
烦哪烦哪烦得不敢相信
烦哪烦哪烦得歇斯底里烦哪　我烦啊

破晓的阳光落肩上
张开眼的人懂的自由飞翔
不需要谁支撑的力量
一个人走到最远的地方

就是爱你

2005-08-21T15:13:00.000+08:00

我一直都想对你说你给我想不到的快乐像绿洲给了沙漠
说你会永远陪着我做我的根我翅膀让我飞也有回去的窝
我愿意我也可以付出一切也不会可惜
就在一起看时间流逝要记得我们相爱的方式
就是爱你爱着你有悲有喜有你平淡也有了意义
就是爱你爱着你甜蜜又安心那种感觉就是你
我一直都想对你说你给我想不到的快乐像绿洲给了沙漠
说你会永远陪着我做我的根我翅膀让我飞也有回去的窝
我愿意真的愿意付出所有也要保护你
Oh 在一起时间继续流逝请记得我有多么的爱你
Oh 就是爱你爱着你不弃不离开不在意一路有多少风雨
就是爱你爱着你放在你手心灿烂的幸福全给你
Oh 就是爱你爱着你我都愿意就是爱你爱着你要我们在一起

should I or should I not

2005-08-21T01:51:00.000+08:00

she asked if she had really changed... and I wonder if she really had changed... who is the one who had changed? she? or me? I couldn't find an answer... I am clueless... totally in despair... in search for an answer... for my reply...

so who had really changed?

I didn't reply...

I had no answer to reply...

I had to continue in my search for my answer...

for her... for myself...

for us...

wE [mEn] DuN gEt It

2005-08-21T00:48:00.000+08:00

or maybe it's just me...

for months, weeks, days, hours, mins and seconds, I have been asking myself continuously, with questiong that had been surrounding us around...

questions that we had been asking...

it's just that something that I think I might never ever find out, although i did once believe that I had really the answer for it...

but it seems like the more I sink my thoughts into it, the more unsure I become and this starts to blur out all my 'once to be answers'...

is it just something that had been passed down from generations to generations, down the decades and the few thousand millions years in the history, between the two genders...

their difference in thoughts and perception, expression and actions, and understanding towards each another...

is there a formula somewhere lost from our dna that solves everything? is there a way to simplify and solve all complications? is it her? or is it me?

had time really changed us?

her?

or me?

had time really faded everything?

I have no idea...

I only know that time had faded myself out...

tired and weary...

is this really the curse that every egytian legend proclaims about life? for the 'cursed one' to carry the 'curse' in order to suffer all the unnecessary?

my mind could not settle for an answer as it is just simply just to worn out from the search of the answer...

but...

maybe it's really me...
i dunno anymore...

11th!!!

2005-08-13T00:00:00.000+08:00

It's 11th!!! It's the day I can officially chao geng!!! I'm awarded my well-deserve birthday off finally... for these 2 years... I've not been claiming my birthday offs... dun ask me why or how come coz I just simply can't remember but what is important is the present... anyway I'm cutting this whole post short...
hmmm... we had quite a fest of food with pizzas, boxes of 'zhi cha' and my fav 'gu lu rou' plus lots of fruits and not forgetting the cake, which means more fruits coz mum had bought a fruity one... partly coz everyone in the family was not feeling okay, except for me that's it... my mum was real ill and I had felt so bad when she insisted on the fest... mum... you are simply the best, you are the one whom i had my most respect to and most importantly, I love you lots, thank you for everything(and I really mean EVERYTHING)(only those who really knows me and my family well will truly understand what I mean)... my dear came and so had zuan's 'duckie'... everyone was simply just amazed by the amount of food to be cleared but we ended up with really unforgettable chats over the 'buffet' and the 'torturing' hahahaa... you should have a look when desmond is 'asked' to take more food when both him and zuan had a saeke sushi beffet just a few hours ago... seriously he looks really helpless and I did kinda felt sorry for him... my dear? she just ended simply with a 'so good and nice to touch tummy' hehehee... miss her lots after all these weeks of 'seperation'... guess things might go this way when I start working... sigh... sounds really bad man... hopefully we'll be able to have quality meetups and dateups...
As they all say, Quality surpasses Quantity.
until my next post...

2005-08-12T23:48:00.000+08:00

12th August, It was my 23rd Birthday on the yesterday... and so we went out for a only-us-together celebration on the 10th... it was really a fun and enjoying day... took a 'photo' as to our tradition so as to preserve yet another wonderful memory in our lifes... this time round, we had quite some interesting pics and experience as there was like kinda boxes of different heights for you to 'pose'... still bewildered with all the japanese words when we were at the 'designing-stage'... gosh I miss my classes man... Then we went to watch 'The Island'... a very nice film, however reminds me of a mixture of 'Truman Show', 'The Thirteenth Floor' and kinda some 'matrix' feel... but I must say it's very interesting for such a story to be produced... next was sushi tei for dinner... oh man it's been such a long time since I had stepped in... food's still the same, just probably a little slightly lower in standard coz the chefs have changed... but I must stress that they still gives you the good stuffs... the very last part is really funny and weird coz zuanye metup with us... so as to get my present from her and her present from us... not forgeting our present for mum as well coz august has always been a birthday month in the family... the search went on and we ended with a fossil watch for each another... hahahaaa... however, we had got mum a really nice fossil wallet... bet she'll love it coz hers is kinda cracking and bulging with all the 'I dunno what and why so many' cards... she'll definitely be satisfy with the number of cards she can squeeze into this new present... hehehee...

I try not to think too deep into it

2005-08-10T12:26:00.000+08:00

For the past weeks... the past few days... I have been disturbed by some really horrific thoughts... it's regarding problems that I face... problems that (we) face... it's been 3 years... and many said that most ppl will probably end up with a long term holiday after 3 good years... they say nothing will much come up anymore after 3 years...
I had a friend... a buddy... who had been facing transport problems (i believe) coz his girl lives soo far away from him... and believe me... it's VERY FAR... like one end our 'small' 'little' island to the other end... and I really give him my respect for being able to last till now... still strong and going... she is really lucky too to have him around...
however, on the other hand... I had seen quite a few who didnt even last a year... some didnt even extend over a month... why? how come? I guess all this kinda stuffs are prety much unexplainable...
for me... it has been a good fun and interesting 3 years... although there were times that were really really bad... but I would rather drunk myself in those other times... where (we) were so much in love and sweetness could touch any heart near us... could it this be the truth? the cruelty of time? maybe... maybe not... take it as an excuse or not... but I had never believe in blogging... Seriously I think it's a waste of time... Why bother to waste so much time in publicising your own personal stuffs? but argh.. I guess I am just yet another idiot so stuck with her... but i like it... even she could place me in the bad debt department in her accounts book or even worse... No matter what... My heart throbs for you... Even if there's this one day.. If... there's really this one day... that very day that no one will ever really wanna see...
I dun think I'll ever fall for another... coz she's too special for anyone to replace...
a happy belated national day to all...

Hmmmm...

2005-08-07T05:00:00.000+08:00

Hmmm... but thinking back... maybe after these... I'll be looking at the wonderful microphones... the professional ones I mean... not those KARAOKE ones you use for your KTV sessions okay?

Gosh... I need to strike TOTO at least eight times I think....
Hehehehee...

2005-08-07T04:58:00.001+08:00

Missing from the school for two solid years... I have always loong the day where I'll be able to go back for lessons and CONQUER that bloody grade 5... For anyone who does not know... Electone grades starts from the top, i.e:13, 12, 11 down to 7, 6, 5 etc etc... and 5 is ain't easy to get through at all... Coming back to this babe... this is the newest to the collection from Yamaha... they're still the best in terms of electones... However, I heard this is a completely different system from my darling EL-90... but it sounds simply so good that this time... your ears will shed tears... Oh speaking of my EL-90, I had just discovered that one of the speakers is cracking already... oh man... my heart simply cracks upon hearing that... I really must get the guys down to fix it... no matter what... and this should conclude my list for my coming two to three years... I guess it's not too bad huh? hahahaa...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:50:00.000+08:00

I'm planning to get this once I get my stuffs going on track... My plans are to be able to handle projects both related to audio, video and even special effects and animations kinda of stuffs... this mixer looks small and dingy but it's a damn cool tool to work with... this really reminds me of the days that I was on my student audio projects... and I'll have to start pushing myself hard to master the art of animations and special effects... then I'll be able to take many different kinds of projects... in so to produce

2005-08-07T04:45:00.000+08:00

and THIS is something that you cant go without for a mac... you can say it's the dream display for the dream machine... 20 inch, darn beautiful displays but ain't cheap either...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:44:00.000+08:00

This is my Ultimate Dream Machine... for my future that it'll set my path... this is not cheap coz I'll probably have to spend $6000-$9000 for my custom configurations... I'll have to kick start AUDIOBOX with this... so looks like my coming years will mean real hard huge savings each month... sigh...

2005-08-07T04:42:00.000+08:00

Yet another found from the same page... this looks like to be the real 'master' kinda level of trumpet... but I guess I really need to learn more about all these... Once I was told that a good player can basically be classified into two groups, players who goes for the mouthpiece, and players who goes for the trumpet... but how about a good mouthpiece with a good trumpet? and of coz with good trained skills... hmmm... aren't I getting a bit greedy...? hmmmm....
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:38:00.000+08:00

This is another trumpet that I found from BachBrass's website... I'm ain't not expert in all this trumpet stuffs... coz I only learn to play well... however, this looks like to be a more 'advance' model than the 200s... I wonder how is this different and what could be better?
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:36:00.000+08:00

I'm once again bitten by my musical genes and I had once again missed that trumpet... oh man... how would I wish I'll just recieve a $150,000 cheque from SAF or something for being such a great NSF, producing such EXCELLENT video projects for them... then I'll grab all these immediately... this is exactly the model that I had Idiotically lost... sigh... really miss it a lot...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:33:00.000+08:00

I wanna get this... gosh... sharing is not going to be a problem with you my dear if I'm getting this... but hmmm... we'll see how lah... maybe something better will come by soon... hehehee... patience patience...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:31:00.000+08:00

OH man... even the packaging box look so tempting... Patience... I told myself... -a patience buyer always gets a good deal- I still have some time to decide... must think... must think...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:30:00.000+08:00

Maybe... I'll get two of this instead... one for me and one for... hehehee... this will be really damn cool... so many colours to choose from somemore... I'm sure she'll love it... but argh I need to cool down... and think through properly...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:28:00.000+08:00

Then this came into the picture... argh there's just soo much good stuffs around and I think I'm getting real greedy.... But wait a min... I'm just confused between the other two with this... confused and can't decide which one to actually aim for and get it... but this is another babe to drool for... Previously I saw my collegueue in camp listening to this and I was damn amaze by it's size! it's really really compact and light... argh... I need to think...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:25:00.000+08:00

and again... just like the cradle... the remote's an seperate item to get too... but hey... come on... what's the thing if you have got no remote for your mp3 player right? Once again.. I simply love the design... and the black sleekness too... guess I'm pretty into the blacks ever since i've gotten my black Razr V3... hehehee...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:23:00.000+08:00

Believe it or not... the cradle sells seperately... but it's just simply soo beautiful... ohh....
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:22:00.000+08:00

Then I saw this babe... Oh man... this multimedia player is not just any mp3 player... it's good for videos on the go too... imagine watching your favourite collection of anime on the go! woah... I'm starting to drool already... gosh...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:20:00.000+08:00

Next is something I'm a little mixed up whether which one to get... I had my eyes on this babe since the first time i saw it; which is also probably about two years ago... the design is simply elegant and I love the squarish feel to it... I dun wanna miss out all my CDs either... so I still do like the feeling when handling my CDs for music... the feeling to me is pretty special... as I had went thru quite a tough period, probably the toughest, with my current player... however it's kinda dying off slowly already...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:17:00.000+08:00

Also on the other hand, I'm so eager to find time so that I can go and fix my dear eH 2270... I bought it about two years ago and it's a fantastic headphone... only that it's more suitable for indoor studio use than to bring it out for shoots and music on the go... I must really fix it soon... I have been missing all the good music that it had been providing me with...
AHTOOT

2005-08-07T04:13:00.000+08:00

I've been trying to compile my buying list and it seems to me that most of my items is going to be long before i could get my hands on them... My most wanted item in my list in 2005 is nothing but the Sony MDR-V300 headphones... I have been waiting for soo long to get hold of this... excellent monitorin headphones for both @ work in the studio, out for shoot or even leisure with music on the go...

how precious can time be???

2005-08-01T14:31:00.000+08:00

Hi guys...
once again, this 'trying-to-turn-a-new-leaf-boy' is trying very hard to keep this habit on-going because he understand pretty much that once stop, it's very very hard to keep the feeling of it coming again... my ICE AGE is gone and now it's summer once again(speaking of summer, these few days are really hot and humid aren't they?).
The weather sucks man these few days... like on this morning, the sky was filled with dark, gloomy, evil-lish clouds that resembles scenes from some horrifying horror film...

It seems like it will pour down so much water that it will drown the whole island down into the depths... all it was waiting was the signal... the weirdest thing that you might think it is... there was no lightning, not even a slight, tiny weeny thunder heard... it just came down altogether very dark, almost like it's going to create a BIG vaccuum to suck everyone into another world... abit like war of the worlds huh... hahahaa... maybe I have been watching too much films nowadays... ever since my dear had gotten her 'privillege'... hehehee...

sigh so sian man... still stuck in this stupid prison... thrown into a no-brain prison where you are supposely to be the no brain and do whatever you are thrown to do... just like, 'Nick, go and......' and I am suppose to reply brainlessly like a frankenstein, 'Yeeessss MAAaaasssteerrrr....' and off I go, trying to push myself off my limits and use all energy I have in me to create their masterpiece... which of course includes the,'Nick ah, there are some changes...'when you are already ultimately reaching the final stage of the project... why so many donate soo generously to the NKF? they spend soo much money on the Tap and feeding the Man behind the organisation... why don't they donate to us, the poor guys here who are prone any moment to a fatal heart attack/failure and yet only given just enough to the basic needs... but often it's almost barely there to cover everything that the 'we-all-know' basic needs that have been created out of the advance science technology.

when you can't pay the bills, you get get a cut from your billing companies and your boss will start nagging to you about,'why cant you pay your bills so that we can contact you when there's anything;i.e contacting you when there's shit to clear for them...' shit man... when will all this adults finally learn that we are not their maid and even if so, these ladies earn even more than us... like double of ours!!! gosh...

Why Thoughts?

2005-07-29T11:44:00.000+08:00

Once again here I am back in this stupid office where if one's not commando enough, he/she is definitely to be crossed out eaily by just simply a quiver of arrows(note that it's not an arrow but a huge quiver of arrows). You will have to be alert, sneaky, fast, creative and smart in order to get yourself top of the survivor list...

Alert --- Any moment in time, you must know when the 'archers' are already loading and looking for targets...

Sneaky --- Sometimes being fast isn't really good enough... Sneaking around like what you do in Metal Gear Solid is really much helpful(note that this is something that most probably you'll end up doing all the time)...

Fast --- Nothing beats the potential power of the mind... Never underestimate how fast thinking could really help you to siam arrows like matrix dodging... Everything will very much make a good package if you apply fast running almost immediately after you execute your fast-thinking skills...

Creative --- As I had said in the above, the power of the mind is really unlimited... Creativeness actually spice-up your surviving skills... A variation or two once in a while actually makes new templates, and these new ones can then be evolve to be better and even flawless, less said to be perfect... Ultimately this is really how Sim Wong Hoo, CEO of Creative Technologies build up his empire as till today... Here's a quote on what had benn pushing towards great success... 'Believer in convergence of the arts and technology to generate great synergy and creative energies' from www.singapore-best.com

Smart --- Aiyah actually this one is pretty much self-explained lah... If you're not smart enough to apply the correct technique on the correct mindset, and to be accomplanied by a smart selection on your creativeness, then everything done is pretty much in vain... For example, you cant be possibly saying that you're going to toilet while you're actually planning to just go home... worse still if you tell your boss, today's your birthday when everyone else knows it's very much over already over at last month!

well... this all should be simple enough to understand and keep everyone out of the way of those deadly arrows... hmmm, hey... it's lunch time... time for a good 2 hours lunch break... hehehee...

four and a half hours more...
4.5 hrs - 2 hrs(lunch break) = 2.5hrs
remaining 2.5hrs - 1hrs(afternoon break @ 1530) = 1.5hrs
and so 1.5hrs for surfing net and slacking around...

seeya all...

Thoughts for thought

2005-07-28T09:54:00.000+08:00

To dear family and friends and much more ppl related or unrelated,

After much thoughts, I have decided to pull myself from my cozy and lazy self once again... Thought things through and seems like there are many things coming by for me to once again take control and to bring things to success... much more things, much more greater things...

I've got not much time left for craps and rubbish... and there are so much thoughts that i had left on the shelves at the back of my 'damaged' brain just to waste the amount of fresh and healthy blood that it is feeding on... I guess now is the time for the move... for the change... my change... changing myself for what's coming for me...

Thus, I had started the 'clearing-up'... closing down my xanga page is simply just one of the first steps... it was really fully under-utilized and collecting cyber-dust... That's why I'm changing the nature of my first and now the only blog here... in this cyberspace, this matrix, this other world...

many things on my list to do man... so much and too much to do... but constantly i tell myself don't worry... you can handle it and it'll be just as fine as the rest that you had already done so... well... serving the ns for 2years and 4months (to be exact in total) had really gave me quite some skills in PR but i think my PR skills still need tons of polishing coz everyone in my camp knows that i'm the super bo chup clerk and even probably one of the most attitude guy around... well... this is what i always tell my collegeues, especially those in mediateam... if this is not saf, i would have be more excited and giving in more effort for the projects... (oh just for your info for those who havent been in contact with me, i am the lucky idiot who is RODing soon, coz i'm pes E L9 and i've done pretty much just video and stuffs since my enlistment directly into the div hq...) but it is not always easy for others in especially the 'customers' to see how bad it can be or how much effort and time we have to put in just for that tiny weeny little change that they think is simply damn easy to do and archieve...

not many knows that actually when we look like we slacking as they are working like mad dogs, we are in fact trying to piece out the tiny little fragments with the little much power left in our still, luckily, sane mind... before the night juice comes in and power our little puny brain with creativity and the ooomph to run the effort so as to finish the ugly marathon... there's no ugly men but there's always the ones showing ugly side dominantly...

on my last note here... be more alert and be expecting tighter updating schedule here and dun forget your mug of drink and even popcorn b4 you start reading... everything is going to be real long as promised in the start of the beginning...

Till then, take care and lots of luck!

BYE BYE XANGA~

Okay... I had to confess... the following post's was supposed to be up a looong time ago... back in january i think... but well... due to the fact that i think it's not ready, thus it had been remained as a draft all along till now... it's still not finished but well i guess it's not important anymore... the present is more important than anything... here's goes...

'alright... this is my first post in a new year... with new targets, new perception, new ideas, new aims and new prospects... as some of you out there, who's now reading and keeping update with this little blog of mine here, i do sincerely apologise for the looong wait for this update... i guess i was still bitten by the lazzz bug... soo much and too much things on hand, plus helping to share a few burdens from my dear...
looking back now at 2004... it had been a great year... another year filled with so much memories... adventures, romance, comedy, horror, thriller... you name it... perhaps that's why i always think (well, i guess the majority think so too...) that life's like a movie... but movies have clear directions (if not it definitely sucks i must say, unless it's so arty farty then i cant understand... then i guess it's too bad coz only 'your kind' will understand 'your' language and style... sorry but i really got to say this...

hmmm... so where should i start for 2005? definitely not in my 'six-storey-high block' HQ in my camp... everything had quite a nice start with a good introdusive taste of my year ahead... clearing both my ndp and coc offs was darn shiok... i was at home most of the time and that bring me back so much to the 'nature'... my culture and my Style... enjoying life and giving my mind a good rest... not knowing what's already installed for me ahead...'

*pls do look out for my next post as i'll be unfolding more on my adventures in camp again... many much adventures will be promised... seeya...*

thoughts back in time

2004-11-13T13:02:00.000+08:00

looking back now... it's been 2 plus months ever since i went back to div from 4sir... time had really past by darn fast... and maybe in another 1 month plus i'll be out again... moving over to sicus'05...

days over at 4sir was splendid... harsh days yet satisfying results... i just it's a good start for my 2 years and 4 months service for saf... although i started in div but i guess my 'true' work actually starts in ndp'04... many is what i had met during my attachment with them... many different kind of people, many different kind of problems, many different aspect lookout on life from each and every individual... nevertheless, i've felt the warmness that can be found in ns life in this damn wulu camp... something i had never really thought and expected from... since my attachment was a really 'shocking' one... a very sudden and last min thing... just a word on the day before and there we are, an 'outcast' (perhaps) was sent out to another 'battlefield'... but with luck shining on me, it was actually much more of a 'friendly match'...

so many things had happened all along the journey towards our target, 9th August 2004... deadlines and schedules... all spiced up together with problems, obstacles, arguements, clashes of the 'titans' and soo much more... friends were pacted and 'enemies' were repacted to friends... all went well in the end... although there are so much things left undone when i left... it's a great pity for me for being unable to complete everything but no choice i had been left with for that the 'great one' summons me back to the 'ard 6-storey high building in the whole camp', 'number 1' office... summoning me back to handle a super-duper rubbish job, a very 'bo liao video project'...

hmmm... guess that's for all for today... felt really sad when i realised that no one had actually posted anything here yet... people out there who see this now do pls post up some stuffs...especially all of you who were involved in sicus'04 in whatever management... no matter if you're from 4sir or anything...

for everyone who are still at 4sir, i salute you and wishes all an enjoyable and smooth journey ahead....
and those who had gotten their pink card, great luck to all in the future but may us keep in touch...

at least i hope this bloggie will do keep us all in touch...

in any queries for this bloggie's info, just drop a mail to sicus2004@walla.com

i had created this bloggie together with the email add so for those who mailed, you'll be granted the access to both this blog and the email...

hahahaa... it's me once again updating my blog in the office...
my first update from my office ever since i'm back at hq... phew... things had been really hectic for me for the past weeks... rushing videos and projects... and on top of everything, much time was spent on organising my on-coming trip! hahaa... it's near and it's coming! 11 more days and i'll be on my way to GENTING! my first overseas trip with my friends and my girl... although it's kinda spoilt by our family coz they decided to tag along... but well i guess it's a good chance for them to take a break altogether too... should let them feel at the end of everything that we're able to cope with stuffs when out of our little govern-centred island...

things had been really really bad for me last week as i was rushing for deadlines for my videos and gosh i had to stay in in the office for 3 whole days! planned 2 days but the last day was a *bo bian* had to finish the job thingy so sigh... anyway it's over for now and i'm preparing myself (i should) for any further deadlines... got more business coming up too... time to make money! finally... hehehee... shall update you guys later on regarding that... let's say make that a mysterious topic coming up...
lol~

well i've gotta start work now... seeya guys soon...
sorry for all the superbly snail update and hope that less 'bo liao' people will come bother the peace in this little cyberspace i had for myself and people around me, especially my friends and my love ones...
Cheers~

it's real weird sometimes how people could react to articles in the net... for those who had been keeping up with my superbly kept-on undated blog (I thank you for that~!), previously I had posted a story on what satan had told his 'followers' regarding christianity in the reality as it had came to me from a christian friend of mine thru email... so I've found the humour in the mail, thus decided to post it here in my blog for many other who share harmless humour and jokes...

well then since then i've got mr/mrs/miss mysterious branding me with names and well since it had caused so much unhappiness in others, I've decided to throw it away... now I hope all misunderstanding are cleared and for anyone else who wanna post any comments, pls do feel welcome to do so... any queries that u all out there who wants to let me know directly, just simply feel free to email me directly @ LArcenCieMSN@yahoo.com.sg

so I hope things can be 'settled' and be cleared outside this blog coz I do not wish to have any trouble in here... this is supposed to be a private peaceful blog for pass-goers to have a little read on some little stuffs blogged by someone, somewhere, probably on the other side of the planet...

Cheers~

it'S sunday.... without a sun

2004-10-10T13:13:00.000+08:00

Ok... mr. Nobody's back into blogging after weeks and weeks of 'i'm really busy' & 'i'm having a "lazy-fingers-period"... and nothing hits me the most after ndp2004 with my really steady pom-bi-bi boss, mr ron and my fellow POs and collegeues...

i guess i'm really missing those days so much that after my return to HQ, mandai hill, somehow nothing seems to be any form of rightness... nothing seems right and i'm just like a ghost wandering ard the camp, a perfect target for stupid sai-kangs to be ignored and pushed ard...

maybe it's me or maybe it's them who had changed... i dont blame them since i've been out for soo loong... or perhaps precisely why they 'chased' me out in the first place... i cant believe so much things had changed over my 'attachment' in lim chu kang... somehow something feels cold here... it was much warmer over at the graves, ironically...

that's why i've decided to apply/appeal for ndp'05... i had give much serious thoughts about it ever since ron had asked me a loong time ago when i started my 'attachment'... i guess that had permenant attached myself to ndp... a spell or a curse... i've no idea at that moment... now it seems more like some hope to me though... hopefully things will be on the brighter side...

this is real short for what i had not been blogging for such a looooong time... but i had always been a guy of little words... but full of rubbish though... my dear had always 'encourage' me to join the liang jia ban and his mother agrees in unison too~~!!! what the heck~!? maybe.. maybe... maybe if they sees this blog, they'll consider pulling me into the hopeless corp-circle... hahahaa...

this shall be my last words for this post but my saddest of all... nothing can be worse than this...
yesterday was a great day... met my poor sick dear (she claimed that she's fully well though) and off we went to watch the Exorcist: the beginning... quite a good show to relief stresses hahahaa... but be sure you had your meal before you watch it... it's so intense, not scary, that you'll be burning all those 'energies' that you had consumed before the movie... ending up with 'jelly-fished' hands out of the cinema... especially those going with gfs... +p~

then came the really i dunno whaat happened part... back to her house for dinner and i was late for band practise... oh no, usual me, but well... waiting for my dear 'buddy', bus 157 was pretty sianz-a-nathan... boring and feeling pretty impatient coz i had a feeling that i would be missing the whole practise, darn it... got the bus finally and slept all the way, as my usual practise on buses... only to found that i've left my trumpet at the bus stop where i've abroad the bus!!!! FISH~!!! called dear and ask her help me check it out while i rush back on bus... as expected to all, nothing was left there... what to do? make police report and placed a notice at the bus stop... never will i thought of the day where i'll have to do such stuffs... i mean i've always think that it's kinda stupid and dumb for ppl to place notices for missing dogs and stuffs... i was devestated...
sigh... now hopefully my handphone will ring with an unknown number appearing on it's screen... hopefully... but a sunday without a sun is all i've left...

okay...
this is a BIG HELLO to all who had been keeping up with my small little, superbly un-updated blog... I guess if you're reading this, you must be either my great old pal, my beloved one or simply someone checking out me... lol~

alright back to business... this will be exceptionally short although the 'looong break' I've took...
actually as according to my good old pal over at 4SIR now... (I've left 4SIR ever since last last friday... will talk abt it again in time...) I was just having what he calls, a period of time that just happens... a period of time where laziness and sudden boredness in something new adventured into came into picture...

and so I've manage to climb/crawl out of it... and thus I'm back with nothing but even more... Simply Ironics

do keep coming back for reads...

*when you're bored...*

guess who's BACK?

it's not too bad a day to start today... one of those you'll find hard to draw the line across (those you'll be stuck undecided, saying, it's not too bad... not too good either...

there was a late night last night, i was trying to get photoshots of the ndp countdown so-call calender (those you'll find in the office that tells you how many days left to watever blah blah blah...) so as to do a montage of time-lapse... ironically i had to wakeup early for the parade... have got to video it coz it's the national day conservant parade or something like that... wokeup by zul coz i slept in the office...(it's a looong story...) stupid things just came to me thru out the whole shoot... the batt went flat, the tape ran out... luckily there were reserve in the camera bag... so had to put up the 'i'm still taking it' act while changing the batt and in the other case, trying to look for a tape that i can use.... oh god, didnt notice csm was just beside me when i was changing and viewing the tapes, in search for 'the one'... luckily i think he's just too busy acting garrang... hehehee... lucky!

oh yah... just read my dear's blog... it's so sad to me... although it's not really some sad contents... okay lah not that sad lah but i just feel bad lor... so i posted a little comment to her....

||| gulpz....

*guilt strikes once again*
once again it was another night filled with rojak feelings of guilt and romance, plus a slight irritation... as agreed totally, it was a beautiful lifely enjoyable night, however still it is still so sad to be unable to be there beside my love one and propose to her... (hehehehee.. got your hint liao.. and perhaps block out all possibly guys going for her... lol~)

lastly but not least... nothing but guilt came back again upon knowing my lau poh's unable to make it for this coming monday... *sad |||

what's true to the eye and the heart?
what's not?
who has the answer??
just you and me....

This Spring, clear your mind

2004-08-05T00:39:00.000+08:00

This Spring, clear your mind

coz NDP's HERE~!!!!

it's FINALLY here man... so much time had been wasted and so much energy have been injecting into this project in this committee... there were times where nothing but rubbish and crap that we had to waste so much of our 'resources' on... so much crap had gotten us all to nothing but tiredness and sickness... where everyone else thinks that being on the NDP project in the committee is so 'holy' and 'honourable', i think it is not really that big deal... although it is a big great chance that is hard to come by, however it just sucks too much when you are working in the committee as a non-civilian, coz creativity can be easily wasted and all basics are 'called' back in behold to do a 'great' job to fit what some of these officer's 'great' standards... well... maybe it's just my perception lah...

on the other hand, it is going to be such precious memories for me though... with all the ups and downs i've gone thru, with my newly-met friends in this new camp... it's coming to be a little hard for me to say goodbye to them... from strangers, we have became bitching buddies and night-cheongers altogether, rushing work together, getting f for rubbish work, doing brainless work out of each and our jobscopes and not forgetting our adventures both out of the camp and in the stadiums... stupid idiotic moments there were but yet unforgettable it is going to be...

although we all know that everything's not done yet even after the 9th but i guess we are all looking forward to it... to enjoy and honour our fruits of harvest finally... with mental preparations for the last pieces of assignments that we will need to finish after the fireworks and with plans already for a good rest, for both the body and the mind... no doubt, there will be seperations soon... everyone will be heading their own ways, continuing each and one of their own adventures and missions ahead... it will be both sad and happy at the end of this journey together... the taste of life... tastes sweet but yet nothing will be left when there's none left, just memories... of the last summer...

Spring's coming...

I'm fine without you.

2004-07-24T11:18:00.000+08:00

had just read a very strange yet so true to life news report article online...
i dunno if it's true but i will not be surprise if one day this will happen, if not it had already happened...

maybe it's just some crap, rubbish that some lamer is trying to entertain himself but i guess it's still sad to read...

Replace My Memory

2004-07-23T16:33:00.000+08:00

these two days have been sickening, i mean real sickening... got down with stupid fever that goes up and down on the thermometer like a rollercoaster ride... ruin my days and nights...

time went so smoothly thru the day and i've no longer in control of own time... the medicine i've got seems to neutralise me and bring me out of this time dimension... i could no longer felt the prescence of time upon my consumption of my 'dopes'...

my nights are the same, nothing much different and in fact much worse... time just keep ticking on my clock, my addidas watch, and my handphones... but much sleep wasn't being able to archieve... this is the most ridiculous sickness i ever had in the whole of my life till now...
well i had a loong history back with fevers where i could just stay at home, sicked and down with fever, practically the whole 5 days in the week where i'm suppose to be running and hurting myself from stupid falls and fights in school... it is not really nice memories actually setting aside my primary school adventures...

back to current time, last night was the most innovative and such a idea-idea moment in the week i've went thru... i was feeling such combustion of colds and hots; how i wish they'll just neutralise each other out and allow me to sleep in peace, but i guess they are simply just like neighbours... a sudden cold follow by a sudden of hotness, burning and freezing me inside out... i had to sleep on the wooden planks of my bed in order to attain a 'right' temperature so as i can sleep in peace... i dun mind sleeping on the planks but somehow it looked really stupid when one's sleeping on the bed's skeleton and the 'flesh'; mattress is laid against the cabinet just beside the bed...

constantly i would have to wake up to answer nature call, and fill my reservoir up again and again when i've flushed all those 'cursed liquid' out of the bowl... not a night you'll like to go thru... plus the planks that doesn't really serve to sleep good on it... and so in the end i went back to fix the bed again; to 'put the flesh back into the skeleton'... so it was quite a little happy ending in the end coz i manage to sleep in 'peace' in my comfy little bed...

came to light, it was 1134... feeling much better and so getting my butt out of the bed... brush up and usual stuffs... hmmm... a funny yet familiar feeling's coming back again... checked the thermometer again... oh gosh... 38.5!!! alas... quickly settled brunch as fast as i could and head for my dope once again... hopefully tonight will be much much better... i guess it will be...

oh yah, although my head feels abit like the world's 'slowing down' while i blog all these down, i am very happy coz for

1) i've manage to push myself out of my usual laziness to blog once again

and

2)my dear little zhuzhu's coming over to my house to visit me tomorrow! she'll be showering me with lots of love! *blushes* heheheee...

and so till the next...

This Spring, clear your mind

once again laziness got me these days again... nothing seems to motivate me much... except for that ahtoot and xiaozhu's day of the year is once again here this coming thursday... actually in fact, tommorrow lor... hahahaa... love you so much my dear lau poh... hehehee...

oh yah back to the topic... it seems very sudden and this funny feeling i've got inside... things around me starts to seem moving in slow-mo... but everything i look at the date on my watch/our dear office's NDP countdown counter... i know things are in fact moving fast at a tremendous speed... everyone's rushing jobs and deadlines closing up... i feel like i'm in a daze or probably high on some drug thingy as i speed a little black devil porchse, 150km/hr across benjermin sheares bridge and down AYE... things seems slow and feels so still but yet it's so moving in such a fast and haste pace...
what a weird feeling i have been having...

was on the mrt just now on my nights out to fetch my dear to sinsei coz she sprained her leg... oh my... how xing tong i'm feeling now... back to the mrt, i was feeling sleepy while standing, trying to hung myself against the railing just like how you hung your clothes on the bamboo pole to dry them out in the sun... things really felt so funny... there's so many things happening but i felt almost none presence of all?! it's like i'm frozen in my timezone at the spot where i stand while everyone's still moving on beside me at amazing speed... my sensors are probably down... i guess it time that i should start to do something about it... hmmm... sports and outdoor stuffs like these would maybe do the trick! i'll try... i will try to escape from the clutches of laziness again...

alright... it's another one of those wierd nights... i mean these few nights in fact... things had seems not to be flowing smoothly but yet on the other hand, it seems to be less stressful in doing office stuffs nowadays... i really do wonder what's happening to me?!
yesterday i was on brainless duty again... was the duty clerk and basically all duty clerks do over here in this camp is simply just pick-up calls and contact the duty officer of any incidents etc... holding the key to the keypress to where ppl comes in to draw them... but it was such a funny feeling when the office on duty just happened to be a sec sch mate of mine~! it felt so weird for me at least i think... in anyway for watever reason, i was really damn stone and blur and i kinda of cock up some stuffs... ooopss... the night was pretty 'rough' but nice... had watched minority report in the office with hanxian, although i had some documents to finish but i guess i need to finish watching some of these movies that i had downloaded ages ago! and so the end of movie... really impressing filming directions, the ending was not too impressing though... but it's still a great show in overall... then the you-know-watever shit i had to complete... finish work at 4 plus and decided to watch abit of love actually... knock off at five thiry, moving back to ops room in wait to play the boring song, hoping to reach eight o'clock fast...
Zzzzzzz.... woke up at 4 in the afternoon! hahahaaa... felt so shiok but so hungry... argh... hate that kinda of feeling... nothing much was on... till a night of swensens with raj and hanxian over at causeway... had good supper... just finished love actually and finally going to sleep now... *yawn*
until the next time... nitez~

a bad morning to start... had slept in the office last night... or rather this morning at around 4 plus... it was a joyous night mixed with tiredness and loads of work... my pathetic com at home had been giving me problems and finally it's down... at the wrong time apparently, coz i dun actually have the time to do all my backing-ups and clearing in detail... normally it'll probably take me a few days... and that's if our dear 'almighty' xp works alright... too bad my hands were probably just too ichy... tot that things will most probably be better if i just simply install a fresh new copy of xp over the currently one...
however, alas... the setup got stuck everytime halfway thru installing devices... so i think it must be some driver conflicting thing or sort of stuffs happening to my com... then over the weekend nights i tried different ways to resurrect my pathetic little hd, trying to pump life into the square metal case... things didn't work thru...
LUCKILY... i brought back the hd to camp, trying to access it using xp on my workstation's primary hd... it works! and happily i back-up-ed all my stuffs... unfortunately to say... there are quite some files that i had was erased during my 'smart-aleck' trying to install xp over another...
the day went past with work and i had to complete the carpark labels... zul's on the family day tixs (luckily he offered to help me in that) and i had the chance to take a nap... the next moment i woke up is to find myself Xtremely late in meeting my dear for our swim... uh oh... i feel so sad and guilty... shouldn't had went for the nap... sigh...

today's another stupid day... went back to printing centre with ron... again... to settle the invitation cards thingy... felt so sian lor... coz each trip i made over will always cost me at least a half-day... and sometimes it's just wasted for nothing... prehaps like just a trip over to check for ammendments and ammending it on the spot... really sounds stupid to me, i mean look at how technology has developed...? there's so many ways to do all these or at least minimise the time used just for travelling...
to make things worse... the 'goods' that we are suppose to travel all the way there to collect and deliver to eunos (YES EUNOS!! and all the way from the very west end region of SG!!on a saf mini-bus somemore... luckily we had the mini-bus though but it's sure a turtle when it starts to move... i bet a bmw mountain bike runs faster than this 'ah-ma' lor...). but in anyway it wasn't ready when we arrive... in fact, we 'flew' over coz we were told to be on the run immediately... it's time wasted n i actually slept there for like at least fifteen whole mins... and so doing my calculations, time = money wasted... they should have convert all those 'money' to real cold hard cash and add it to my account...

went home in the end to get my stuffs coz i forgot to bring in quite some stuffs back camp in the morning... but only to find out that i've forgot my white socks on my trip back while i've forgotten the black ones in the morning... how ironically stupid! went back with white socks to get black ones but end up with none white and 2 blacks back... things are probably getting worse that i tot... *sweats*
