In the Heart of the Land

2008-01-29T00:56:00.000+08:00

I did something yesterday which I never thought I would. At least not yet. I actually went to watch a soccer match in a coffee shop!! Yea u guessed it right, I chose to forego the comforts of my home, to join my neighbourhood in supporting Manchester United in their FA Cup match against Tottenham.

At least I wasn't alone though, Jason joined me in my madness.

Venue: Kopitiam near block 139 Tampines Street 11
Time : 10.25pm (already 25mins into the match)

The coffee shop was already packed by the time we arrived. We didn't have any table for ourselves, so we just grabbed 2 chairs and squeezed with the rest. Needless to say, 80% of the crowd consisted of tiger drinking, cigarette smoking, vulgarities spewing, rolex wearing(might be fake), hokkien speaking, pot bellied uncles. If you looked more thoroughly, you'd be able to spot the occasional teen around.

And so the drama begins...... I shall just provide a few excerpts of what was being said throughout the match.

Uncles:
Shoot lah!! KNN BO LANG!!!

Pass!! CB BUAY GE

CB Ronaldo!! Zuo simi lan jiao!

Handball!! SUI LAH!!!! Penalty!!!

Hahahaha!!!! This is what we were looking for!! Not the 2nd hand smoke, nor the tiger selling UNCLE, not even the tempting kway chap stall.

However, the uncles were not the best part of the "drama". Apparently there's this idiot who thought that by betting against Man Utd, he would win big bucks. Words can't explain his reactions, all I can say is that he looked like he bet his whole marriage dowry on it. LOL

Stupid idiot reactions after Man Utd was awarded the penalty:
Fuck!!! Throws hands up into the air

After watching the replay:
Where got handball?!?!

After watching it again:
FUCK OFF!!!

When Tottenham had a chance:
SHOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooootTTTTttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!@!#$@*^$@*!$%@!*$%

Hahahaha!!! I swear that we thought he would flip the table anytime during the course of the match. We were laughing our ass off at him, of coz we had to control our laughter lah. We don't want to further provoke him considering how pissed off he was and that he had a Tiger bottle in hand. Of course we'd be able to subdue him with ease if we wanted to, no point looking for trouble though. But then again, betting against Man Utd? What was he thinking??

Walking to Kopitiam : Free
Buying a can of 100 plus : $1.20
Uncles and Idiot's reactions: PRICELESS

It's Lego's 50th Birthday today!!

My sister's back!!

2008-01-26T23:43:00.000+08:00

But she's going back HK tmr -.-

She's coming back again on new year's eve though haha.. Anyway my sister coming back means....

Krispy Kreme!!

When i saw the krispy kreme boxes, i told her "Krispy Kreme Melbourne also have leh". She said "oh izzit?? aiyah but singapore dun have mah!"

Hahahaha! Did I mention Krispy Kreme donuts makes me happy ? Lol

That's not all! I now have 6 bottles of Ice Wine at home! I was never a fan of wine, be it red or white. Doesn't matter the bullshit about red wine goes well with red meat, or white wine goes well with white meat. I hate them all the same. LOL

However, Ice Wine is a different matter altogether. It tastes so much better and is alot sweeter. The price is 1 stumbling block though. 6 small bottles from the duty free shops costs $99 and I'm talking about 50ml small here.

Still not all!! As my "Jie Fu's" parents open a hair saloon, I grabbed the chance to go down today with my sister to cut and colour my hair. hahahah!! Scanned through the colour book for like 20 seconds before his kind mother chose one for me. LOL

Enough about me!! Coreen and Lucas came down to Singapore yesterday as Lucas has an interview with UOB. Went to Angus House for dinner and I have come to the conclusion that Singapore CANNOT COOK GOOD STEAK!! $50 for a 250g tenderloin steak!! In my books it isn't even worth $15.

I'll give them credit for the hot plate and the bacon wrapped skillfully around the steak. But that's not the case isn't it. When I order Medium Rare steak, I'd expect at least abit of blood oozing out of the meat and not just pink meat in the centre. I don't know how they cooked my steak but it came out with pink meat near the surface and almost raw meat in the centre. Not very good is it?

CNY is coming!! Ang Baos anyone??

Trailer for The Dark Knight

2008-01-25T01:35:00.000+08:00

I am so gonna watch this show!!! The joker's abit too serious for my liking though. Not to mention he also looked like he had an angry 8yr old kid as his make up artist.

Either that or it was a jilted lover hell bent on him not being able to snag another woman coz he sure as hell looked freaking hideous. Totally not what I'm used to from the Batman cartoons that I've been watching since young.

Ok lah, I might be slightly too critical of him based on just the trailer alone. But that's also because among all of the villains in the Batman series, I loved The Joker the most.

His laughter rOx though! Just the way it should be. I also liked the part where he was sitting down in the police station or somewhere and clapping his hands.

Judging from the trailer, I'd break a limb or two(not mine) if I have to just to catch the movie.

*** Update ***

I forgot to mention. The Riddler is also among one of my fave villians in Batman.

I used to love this song very much when I was in primary school. I remember there was a singing competition back then and I sang this song hahahaha!! Didn't win anything though coz my singing sux even though i was in choir. Gay CCA i noe, I was young and ignorant and I've since learnt from it.

Listening to this song again brought back memories of my pri sch years and unfortunately, I've lost contact with every one of my school mates. I remembered I was quite a havoc back then, lol getting into fights every week and was a regular customer in the principal's office. Don't ask me how I managed to get into EM1 like that. I just did.

I don't really recall much of my time in primary school, but I do remember we had a trip to Malaysia. It was really fun though considering that we were so small and could get away from our authoritarian parents, albeit for a few days. I recalled taking a picture with a snake coiled round my neck!! It took alot of courage at that time. But I've lost the picture already lah, damn it!

Everyone's gone their separate ways now, and hopefully everyone's doing well. Slightly over a month left before I go back to Melbourne. Mixed feelings inside me right now. A part of me wants to go back coz I'm getting a car and I like my life there. Another part of me doesn't want to go back as my good friends are all here and I'm enjoying my life now.

Well can't have the best of both worlds can I? Just try to enjoy anything that comes my way!

Indecisive day!

2008-01-11T00:30:00.000+08:00

My day today is so filled with indecisiveness which is not commonly associated with me by the way. I normally have a plan of what I'm going to do for the day and actually execute it.

It all started when I had to make a trip down to National Library to get a book for my brother. Initially I wanted to take a cab down as I was too lazy to take the MRT. Then once I reached downstairs, I changed my mind and decided to just take the cab to the MRT station and take the train down.

2nd sign of indecisiveness. After I reached National Library and found my brother's book, I picked up a novel and decided to stay in the library to finish it since I had nothing to do for the day. However after reading 10 pages, i thought "fuck it lah it's so uncomfortable here, go home and read."

3) On the way back to the mrt station, i passed by starbucks. Since i saw that the sofa was empty, I decided to get an iced blended frap and sit down to enjoy my book instead.

4) Bought my iced frap, sat down for like 2mins and weili called. Shelved the "read my book and enjoy my coffee" plan and decided to go town to walk around and maybe catch a movie.

5) Dropped at Somerset, realized it was raining. Went back to the MRT and dropped at Orchard.

6) Wanted to watch Michael Clayton, in the end decided on American Gangster.

7) Wanted to have dinner at Tampines, changed my mind in the end and decided on Simei.

8) Supposed to play soccer after dinner, but decided not to in the end as I wasn't feeling well.

Sheesh~ I hope it doesn't become a habit!

The Drive of Life

2008-01-09T14:52:00.000+08:00

Yay!! I've finally finished watching the tvb drama The Drive of Life (歲月風雲) today! It's a full 60 episodes drama which revolves around China's automobile industry and the dream of 3 brothers who wants to put China cars on the world map. The cars used in the drama are the Geely cars that some of you might have already heard of or seen in Singapore. I love any shows which has Xuan Xuan inside anyway hahaha..

Basically it's like any other tvb drama which has businessmen scrambling for power. However the "2 pple talking privately but another person happens to be nearby and overhears the conversation" trick has been used once too many times in the show. However the plot is good and touches alot on kinship and love. It's worth a watch for people who have too much time to spare (i.e. ME!) and too little things to do.

My timetable for next sem is as follows:

Mon: 2 lects and 2 tuts

Tue: Off

Wed: Off

Thurs: 2 lects and 2 tuts

Fri: Off

LOL Shiok!!

What should you girls do to marry a rich guy??

2008-01-07T19:48:00.000+08:00

I read this from Blackhighheel's blog and found it interesting!

------------------------
A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I’ve dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden (?), $250k annual income is not enough.
;
I’m here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I’ve met a few girls who doesn’t have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty

Here’s a reply from a Wall Street Financial guy:

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyze your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I’m not wasting time here.

From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let m e explain. Put the details aside, what you’re trying to do is an exchange of “beauty” and “money”: Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there’s a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can’t be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It’s not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later.

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a “trading position”. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or “leased”. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in “leasing” services, do contact me signed, J.P. Morgan

------------------------

Here's another reply

I also came across your posting with great interest. I am a 28 year old Wall Street trader who qualifies as an eligible suitor under your $500k/yr rule. In fact, I make over a million and can usher a woman into a comfortable, true middle class lifestyle (not like those 500k lower-middle class chumps who have to make do with the junior two-bedroom).

I am sympathetic to your goal in finding a rich man to marry. The milk needs to be sold by the expiration date. But since this is premium milk, why would you settle for less than premium prices? I would like to address some of the questions that were previously missed by the other gentleman and provide constructive advice on where to find your match.

I also do believe in the efficient market theory, and am surprised that $500k hasn't found you yet. There are plenty of rich lawyers, investment bankers and hedgies to go around in this city. What gives? I think the problem might be that you have not been sufficiently focused in your search efforts.

The culprit, I believe, may be that you are also looking for qualities aside from money - such as looks, personality, and a sense of humor. However, men who have those qualities learn at an early age that they do not need money to attract quality women. As the saying goes, if you can get the milk for free, why pay up for the cow?

What you need to look for is someone who is long money, and short the other aspects. They are not easy to spot, since you are biologically wired to overlook and ignore them. However, the next time that you are at a expensive black tie event, and you are introduced to the short, bald, overweight man who fidgets nervously whilst making conversation with you, pay special attention to him.

Here's an inspirational story for you. An acquaintance of mine who was also an classy and articulate woman as yourself was able to land that guy - who also happens to be one of the top ten guys at Google. This is the type of stuff that gold-digging moms read to their gold-digging daughters at bedtime. Perhaps you need to make a location change to Silicon Valley - miracles like these happen almost everyday in a land where you can randomly throw a rock and hit a rich nerd squarely in his Kim-jong Il glasses.

And as far as his deficiencies go, they turned out to be not so bad. With hundreds of millions in the bank, she's been able to clean him up and give him a little sophistication. Think of it as a fixer-upper project with a massive budget (and yourself as a visionary real estate developer!). Although, I must warn you, it is a fine line you are flirting with - you must not overdo it lest he begins to attract younger women who are hotter than yourself. The trick is, you need build him up enough to be presentable, while simultaneously manipulate him into believing you are the best that he will ever do! That, botox and having kids will be your insurance against your depreciation (or as I prefer to use the term, milk going sour).

I wish the best of luck on your sales project. As for me, I am also available for a short-term lease. However, for marriage I wouldn't consider a woman unless she can bring beauty, brains and self-motivation to the table. I do not want to dilute my gene pool and end up raising a bunch of Paris Hiltons.

Haven't been updating my blog recently. That's because I've been busy watching serials. Finished watching Witch Yee Hee earlier and I'm about to finish My Date With A Vampire 3. I'm a fan of that series and I think Yao Chi Sheng Mu (Alice Chan Wai) is damn pretty. I know this series has been out for a few years already. I didn't get to watch it back then as I was undergoing National Slavery (NS).

Attached a clip below and just wondering if anybody has the song? It's called Reborn "重生". I have no idea who's the singer though.

*** Update ***
I have the song already!! Thank to Khai Ling!

I bought a watch today!! It wasn't the watch that I wanted initially though. But after buying so much stuffs recently + shopping during the KL trip which I enjoyed (thanks to Coreen and Lucas for kindly bringing us around), I had to settle for something slightly cheaper.

Basically it's quite hard for me to find a watch which I like coz I like simple designs and watches nowadays come with many complicated designs. I also prefer rectangular watches rather than round ones. Looked around a few shops and many other brands before I settled for this!

Nice ??

I like it! :)

How not to put on weight??

2007-12-14T00:05:00.000+08:00

I dunnoe whether to love or hate my mother.. Lol

I was in the cab on my way back home from soccer and I was contemplating whether to buy food back anot.. I then decided not to lah coz lazy and i also figured that I'd put on weight if I ate supper..

However when I reached home, i saw a packet of hokkien mee and a packet of orh lua(fried egg with oyster) on the table.. Die lah liddat!!

How not to put on weight u tell me??

Anyway I'm off to KL tmr!! Thanks to JS, I now have a PSP to pass time during the 5hr bus trip there..

I'll be back on monday.. Till then, take care everyone!!

I did alot of things today!! I went for an interview with Recruit Express this morning. It's a job recruitment agency and they'd help you to look for a job that suits yr requirements. I'm hoping I can get a job soon as CONTRARY to what people think, I'm not an "ah xia kia" whose father prints money.. I need a job to earn money like any other singaporean.. lol

After that, I walked around Orchard to look for my watch.. Found one to my fancy in the Gallery at Heeren and it costs $685.. However Kmen said Mustafa might sell it cheaper so he's going there tonight to help me check it out since it's near his house. While walking around, we stepped inside Gap since it has a 30% sale + if you pay with a UOB debit/credit card, you get a further 10% off the discounted price!! How good can it get!! Not to mention that Kmen actually managed to make a friend in the store and he'd give us a staff discount of 25% for undiscounted items.

Browsed around and after much deliberation, I decided to follow my heart and not my head LOL. I got a bag and a sweater.. The bag's original price is $299 and the sweater $59.. However after discount, both added up to just $225!! It's a damn good bargain considering it's Gap!

After that, we met up with Merlin and Ruihua to watch Golden Compass.. It's quite a good movie and I'd recommend you guys to watch it. However it IS strange to see that the hero of the movie is a little girl and she is able to command so many people. The movie is not complete yet and there should be a 2nd part to it.

Had a coffee session after the movie and realized that Ivy is getting married next June.. It's the first for me to have a friend getting married, but unfortunately I wouldn't be able to attend the wedding as I'll be in Melbourne. Suddenly I feel that I'm getting old already, people around me are getting married and here I am still unable to find a gf!! hahahahah failure right ? But nvm lah, luckily I still have an older brother. Can count on him to carry on the family line!! At least the responsibility doesn't rest solely on my shoulders hahahahaha!!!

Soccer has been changed to tmr night before my trip to KL.. I'm happy coz I was actually thinking that I would miss my weekly soccer sessions this week.. I hope that I dun put on the weight that I lost in Melbourne!!

To end this post, I'll introduce everyone to my daemon!! Everyone please meet Sophistra!

Christmas Wishlist

2007-12-09T02:19:00.000+08:00

After reading Denise's blog post about christmas wishlists, I feel obliged to follow the flow.. lol

1st up, I'm supposed to choose a damn bloody branded and expensive present for you guys to get me. But I don't know what's up with Calvin Klein bags and Gucci belts. I mean, they are all fine and dandy but not very practical!! Me being a practical and thrifty person *cough*, does not require such luxuries.. I'd rather receive something that can help me do more than just carry my stuffs or in the latter case, hold my pants up.. What I want can perform a multitude of tasks. So for christmas, can i get a......

BMW 645!!!

It's damn practical lor, can help u carry yr shoppings around, bring u to places u wanna go, play music, blowdry yr hair on the way to work if u dun have time, take u out for a ride, pick up chicks and heck! u can even use it as a love hotel as evident in East Coast Park on friday nights..

Oh yes did i mention, I made this list early so that you guys can have enough time to save up for the present :D

Then again, I have a 2nd list for people who dun love me as much.. I'm a very faithful person, I stick to the same principles as the 1st, in that it must be practical. But fear not!! It's way much cheaper than the one above..

A 2008 edition Honda Civic

Ok lah, mai hiam buay pai right??

If you cannot afford the top 2, and you still die die wanna give me a present. I wouldn't mind a Tag Heuer SLR.... Hey beggars can't be choosers!!

That's the end of my wishlist, thank u!! Alternatively if you're a real friend of mine, a christmas card would be sufficient =)

what should i do

2007-11-14T23:55:00.000+08:00

I'm back in Singapore!! yeah there's no mistaking it alright.. sweating right after i step out of the airport..

Anyway yeah, I've told her about my feelings for her... She said she needed more time though and i don't blame her... I mean it's still better than a No right? I'm not expecting anything, I just wanted her to know how I felt.. I won't go into details about what she said coz I dunnoe who's reading my blog and I don't want everyone to know...

It was awkward at first the next day and i've tried my best to diffuse it with some success i think. I thought it was ok already until her friend told me that she cried on the night i told her.. Then last night after I helped her to pack her stuffs, she came over to my place to watch movie with a bunch of friends.. I was still in my room when she first came and then another of my friend told me that when she came, her eyes were red and looked teary..

She was on the phone earlier with someone else and i sort of guessed who it was although i cannot be sure... But one thing I assume that if she cried last night, it would have had something to do with me..

Is this really what I want? Am i giving her too much pressure? I want her to be happy.. I want her to smile when she thinks of me... I don't want her to keep crying because I told her how I felt.. If what I've done has caused all this, I would rather not have told her anything..

After I heard my friend said that she came in with her eyes red and teary, i really felt bad about myself.. Was I being too selfish and did not consider her feelings? Should I just pull the plug and pretend that everything is as per normal.. Should I pretend that I never sent her anything at all.. Should I pretend that nothing happened at the "place". Should i pretend that I never liked her. She looked so much happier before the events took place and when she's happy, i'm happy too.

A part of me feels like telling her that i know it's been hard on her these past few days and if it would make her feel better, i am willing to take it that nothing happened... We could continue being friends like how it was before and she would be much happier...

However there's another part of me that is stopping me from doing that.. I don't want to lose her, not until she is really sure that we can't be together.. But then again, I am afraid that I would cause her more misery if i still persist on... I dun want to make her cry again... Although her friend has reassured me that this is not the case, I still feel that she's not saying No yet because of what I've done and she doesn't want to hurt my feelings..

People who know me well, knows that I've locked up my heart for many years.. I'm at a loss right now and don't know what should I do...

Can anyone please advise me?

Just for laughs!!

Importance of a period

Teacher: "Do you know the importance of a period?"
Kid: "Yeah, once my sister said she has missed one, my mom fainted, dad got a heart attack & our driver ran away."

Anger management?

Husband: "When I get mad at you, you never fight back. How do you control your anger?"
Wife: "I clean the toilet."
Husband: "How does that help?"
Wife: "I use your toothbrush."

and my personal favourite!!

Confident vs. confidential

Do you have to shout?

2007-09-30T21:19:00.001+08:00

One day, a wise professor asked his students this one question.

"Why do people shout when they are angry?"

The students took awhile to think and one of them exclaimed

"Because we lose our cool! That's why we have to shout."

The professor then asked again

"But why do you still shout when the person's just besides you? Why can't you speak softer? Why insist on shouting?"

The students were stumped for an answer and none of them could give a reply.

The professor then explained

"Because when two people are angry, the distance in their hearts grow further. And to cover up the distance, they shout to enable the other person to hear them. But the more you shout, the angrier you get. The angrier you get, the further the distance becomes and the louder you shout."

The professor continued

"How about two people in love? The opposite happens. Not only do they not shout, they speak very softly to each other. Why? Because their hearts are so close to each other that the distance is almost non-existant. That's why people in love whisper to each other. As the love grows, the distance becomes so close until words are no longer needed. A simple eye contact or body language can convey messages."

The conclusion ?

When two people are quarelling, do not allow the distance between yr hearts to grow any further. Even more so do not say anything that would let the distance grow. Wait for a few days, let the distance between yr hearts grow closer and slowly talk it out.

random update

2007-09-18T23:35:00.000+08:00

Pardon me for the inactivty for the past.... 2 months? Didn't have anything much to update and since yuting's the only one who reads my blog (from what i noe), she's pretty much updated with my life already.

Anyway, i've been feeling damn lazy recently. Might be due to the excessive going outs, ktvs, assignments and parties. For pple who noe me well, i'm pretty much a homely and laid back person. Meaning i stay at home most of the time during weekends to slack and watch the EPL at nite. Weekdays i go to camp and back. I do go out once in awhile if my friends ask me out, but not to the extent of it being every week. And I didn't have assignments to worry about then. Ever since the last ktv session last friday, i've been feeling damn lazy to go out already. I even decided not to play soccer the next day. Can u believe it ?? Darren's turning down the chance to play soccer !! This coming from a guy who rejected 2 free Pirates of the Carribean tickets so that he could play soccer with his friends.

Yea and there's another party this Sat (God!! dun they ever get enough of parties??) and all my friends are going. I'm not going though and no amount of persuasion can get me to change my mind.. I'm staying in this Sat to slack at home !!

Next week's the 1 week mid term break and my friends are planning to go camping. I agreed initially because well... it could be fun... But now i really dun feel like going.. But i'll still go lah, coz it's not everyday u get to camp in Australia and I've already spent $45 to buy my sleeping bag..

I'm coming back on the 10th of Nov.. If anyone reading my blog wants me to get anything for them please let me noe in msn... For pple who wants krispy kreme donuts, u'll have to get them at the airport from me because i have no space to store at home.. With the exception of yuting because.... well she noes me longer than u !! hahahaha

Taiwan Trip I

2007-06-11T00:12:00.000+08:00

Finally !! I've got the pics from my recent Taiwan Trip and there are 481 photos in all mind you. Of course I wun be posting ALL of them here. We flew Jet Star so that we could spend more money at Taiwan. The difference is like $300/person. But only when I boarded the plane did I realize how budget it was. A word of advice though, do eat your fill before you board the plane. The prices of the food on board is outrageous. $3 for a can of coke. But anyway, that's y the price of the air ticket is so cheap isn't it ?

Look at the space between my legs and the seat infront!! An ant could barely squeeze through!!

The air-conditioning was bad too. If we could open the windows, we would have done it lol. But then again, 一分钱，一分货. After roughly 4 hours. We finally reached our destination.

Taipei's Airport

Wenhao and Olsen filling up their immigration card

So after we checked out of the airport, our tour guide took us to our hotel to rest for the night. Our tour starts the next day.

Our hotel!

And look what's right opposite our hotel. A nightclub!! LOL

Anyway since we haven't had our dinner, we decided to walk around to search for food and also look around the vicinity of our hotel. Apparently our hotel is located near town, therefore there's alot of shopping centres around.

Night pics of the area around our hotel.

Even though the cars here are much cheaper than those in Singapore. Cars are not the main mode of transport in Taipei.

More affectionately known as Xiao Mian Yang(小绵羊). I would say they make up around 70% of the vehicles on the road. However, their motorcyclists don't give face one. So do be extra careful when you cross the road.

After walking around and not knowing what to eat because there are so many restaurants around, we decided to have dinner at this curry restaurant.

I ordered curry pork chop rice. Nice!

Got cheese inside the pork chop one.

The food in Taipei is relatively cheaper than in Singapore. A meal in a restaurant like this could easily cost you about $18-20 in Singapore. However over there, it only costs about $12-14.

After dinner, we continued walking around just exploring the area. But more or less everywhere looked the same. We walked on for awhile more before returning back to our hotel.

Our hotel room

The toilet. Got bath-tub somemore

That marked the end of my first day in Taipei. More updates in the future.

Left or Right brained ?

2007-06-05T23:08:00.000+08:00

Came across this test from Jenn's blog. I'm Right-Left. What's yours ?

==============================================

First, identify yourself as right or left brain person:

1. Hold your hands together, as if you were praying.Look at your hands.

If you see left thumb is below the right thumb ---> left brain
Right thumb is below the left thumb ---> right brain.

Fold your arms in front of you (as if you are angry)
Right arm above left arm ---> left brain
Left arm above right arm ---> right brain

Based on 1+2 (order important),below is the interpretation of your personality:

Right-Left==========Considerate, traditional, indirect type. Can instinctly read other's emotion, and respond. Friendly by natures. Although not very into taking intiatives in moving forward, but this person will always take a step back in supporting others. Stable personality and considerate, give others a being protected feeling. But the weakness is they cannot say no; regardless how unwilling they are, they will take care of others.

Right-Right===========Loves challenges type. Straightfoward. Once they decided on one thing, will take action right away. Very curious, and love challenges. Dare to face dangers without thinking through (sometimes foolishly). Their weakness is they dont listen to others, will filter in only what they want to hear in a conversation, and very subjective. However, because of their straightforward attitude, they tend to be fairly popular.

Left-Left=========Dedicated, cold, perfectionist. Very logical in all aspects. The only way to defeat(or win over) him/her is through reasons. Has a lot of pride, and feel strongly about doing the right thing. If they are your friends, they are very trustworthy. However, if they are your opponets, they will be very tough to deal with. Because they can be very "anal" as a perfectionist,they usually leave a bad impression of being hard to deal with when first met.

Left-Right==========Likes to take care of others, leader type. Has a cool and keen observation ability to see through situations, yet still can be considerate in others needs. Because of their cool and calm nature,and strong sense of responsibility, they tend to become head of a group. Popular among people.However, they may not be able to help themselves in meddling because they want to take care of others too much. Very concerned about how others view them, and always on alert.

Everyone's a cracked pot

2007-06-05T02:15:00.001+08:00

An elderly woman had two large pots. Each hung on one end of a pole that she carried across the back of her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it and always ended up being only half-full of water when she arrived home.

One day, the cracked pot, ashamed of its imperfection, decided to speak to the woman.

"I am ashamed of myself, of this crack of mine that causes water to leak."

But the old woman replied: "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? I planted seeds on your side of the path and every day, while we walked back, you watered them. I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate the table because of you."

The point of the story?

Everyone has a flaw. You have to take people for what they are and look for the good in them.

Dark Purple

To others, you seem a bit dark, mysterious, and moody.
In truth, you are just a very unique person who doesn't care what others think.
And you really enjoy your offbeat interests and friends.
You've decided that life is about living for yourself - simple as that.

What Color Purple Are You?

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well.

What City Do You Belong In?

Something Meaningful

2007-05-28T21:56:00.000+08:00

Was watching a show on tv during my Taiwan trip when one of the actress came up with this.

"Love is like waiting for a bus.. When the first bus comes, you find it too old. When the 2nd bus comes, you don't want it either coz there's no aircon. The 3rd bus comes and you find it too crowded.. By then it's already damn late and you start to panic.

Then when another bus comes, you hop onto it without hesitation. Only after you board the bus do you find out that it's the wrong bus.. Then you come to a situation where you have to choose. Do you continue with the wrong bus? Or do you exit the bus and walk back alone, tired from all the waiting? Or continue waiting for the bus that you wanted to board initially"

I guess it's the same for everyone.. Of course there are those who are lucky enough to get the good bus on the first try. Then again there are those who can never get the bus that they want and there are those who only wants the particular bus that they took before.

Lastly there are those who refuse to take buses and takes taxis instead. But they come across taxi drivers who refuse to stop for them coz they just received a cab booking! hahahaha

Ok the last phrase was nonsense, but anyway I found that story quite meaningful and decided to share it here with everyone.

Taiwan pics will be uploaded at a later date.. Still haven't got them from my friend

Took off today so that I could settle my university stuffs. Went to the bank this afternoon to prepare a bank draft for Monash University's downpayment. My course fee is AUD$21,200 per year excluding accomodation and expenses. My course is three years and the exchange rate is 1.27 so go do your math lol.

Then I went to Safra Tampines to renew my passport coz I need it to apply for student visa. But.... The office is no longer there!!!! Luckily IDP said that there's no hurry to renew my passport yet. So down I went to IDP to submit my downpayment as confirmation of my acceptance and also to apply for accomodation.

However when i wanted to apply for accomodation, they said that they needed another bank draft of AUD$40 as application fees and two passport size photos. -.- Why can't they like tell me in advance so I don't have to make another trip down? It's already quite late and I'm not guaranteed a room on campus even if I apply now. Anyway I'm hoping that I can get on campus accomodation lah, coz if I rent apartments, I'll have to share and I'm not very keen on sharing my life with another person unless my flatmate's a girl AND looks like BoA. LOL

So I just settled the paperwork and I'll probably go down on Saturday to settle my accomodation. It's like the most important thing now. If not I'll have to bring a big piece of cardboard along with me and sleep under a train track.

That's about all, will update more in the future. Take care Everyone!

It's not healthy to drink a variety of liquor in one night

2007-04-16T00:15:00.000+08:00

Updates !! As requested by a loyal and dedicated reader who's also the only person who bothers to leave comments lol.

Anyway on friday, me and Kevin organised a dinner gathering for our camp. Unfortunately, Kevin fell sick in the morning and couldn't join us. We initially wanted to eat at Sakura in Parkway Parade, but upon Randolph's recommendation, we decided to eat at "The Magic of Chong Qing Hot Pot". It's located on the fourth storey of Tanglin Shopping Centre.

Basically it's a steamboat buffet and it's ala carte style, meaning you order and the food comes. It's better as you don't have to go queue up and rush with the other ~~kiasu~~ over-zealous Singaporeans for the food (e.g. Marina East Steamboat). There are 2 types of soup which they serve; the standard chicken soup and tom yam soup. They also have a special sauce to go with the steamboat. The waitress said it's to neutralise the spiciness of the tom yam soup, which really is relatively spicy. You wouldn't have guessed it coz the sauce was spicy to start with. But I suppose it's called "以毒攻毒". Oh yeah just in case you decide to go and don't know what to do with the sauces, you're supposed to mix the 4 together.

Besides the usual food that you cook for steamboat, they also have other dishes that come with the buffet. Xiao Long Bao, Spring Roll, Sugar coated bread, Guo Tie and a Water Chestnut Dessert just to name a few. They come in only one serving though, if not I would have ordered more xiao long baos and guo ties! haha

The price is slightly on the high side though, about $40 per pax. But if you don't mind paying more for good food, then this is the place to go ! Do book in advance if you decide to give it a try as it's always full house. If you have a large group of people going, then you can request for a room.

After dinner, half the group wanted to go home and rest whereas me, Ryan, Smurf and Qin Yuan decided that the night was still young and that we're not ready to head home yet. So the four of us decided to head to Clarke Quay to see if there's any place where we can chill out. It was quite late already when we reached Clarke Quay and most bars were filled up.

We were contemplating whether to patronise hedkandi bar or clinic, until we decided to go hedkandi bar instead as there seem to be more girls there LOL. The music blasting from MOS played its part too. We had to settle for seats outside as it was quite packed inside. Then came the part of ordering our drinks. Should we just open a bottle of chivas or should we order cocktails ? We were hesitating about opening a bottle of chivas because the price was on the steep side. At $200/bottle, I can open a bottle and order another jug of cocktail at another pub.

We finally decided to order a variety of drinks instead of just opening a bottle. So we ordered a bucket of heineken(6 bottles), a jug of bourbon coke with Jack Daniels, a jug of Tequila 7up and a cup of cocktail of our choice.

I ordered Colorado Bulldong which consists of Vodka, Bailey's Irish Cream and some other stuffs which I forgot. Smurf, Ryan and Qin Yuan ordered White Russian, Singapore Sling and Bloody Mary respectively. I took a sip from each of their drink and their bloody mary was a vile drink I tell you. I don't know what they added inside the drink which makes your throat burn and it's NOT the alcohol if some of you might suggest. Not only that, I couldn't taste the Vodka at all and the tomato juice was so thick that it almost tasted like an organic drink instead of a cocktail. No prizes for guessing whether Qin Yuan finished the drink.

We sat down and had a great time just chilling out and talking about our time in NS. Through the 1½years we spent in our unit, many things happened. Be it pleasant or unpleasant, we all faced it together and forged a close bond between us. Ryan and Smurf are going to study in SIM, Qin Yuan's going Poly and I'm going Brisbane for studies. Hopefully we'll still be able to keep in contact after we ORD.

Will try clinic the next time and I'm looking forward to drinking from a drip and getting served by babes in nurse uniforms!

1½ months to ORD!!

Had our first soccer match on a field in almost a year this morning. All along we were playing street soccer instead of the traditional field soccer you see on television. In street soccer, we do not place much emphasis on winning. Not that we don't want to win, but as the game is short and many games can be played a day, winning or losing doesn't matter as much. You lose this game, just try to win the next.

However when it comes to field, the game is longer and you can only play a game the day. Therefore alot of emphasis is placed on winning. The tackles are twice as hard, the tensions run higher and everybody expects 100% effort from everyone.

I was playing as an attacking midfielder, which is the man behind the two strikers supporting their attack. As it's been a long time since we last played on the field, we kind of lost our way when the match started and conceded a goal in the first 5 minutes. But we started to find our feet as the game wore on and had a few chances to equalise in the first half.

The first half ended 1-0 in favour of our opponents but there wasn't a doubt in our minds that we could fight our way back. So the second half started in the same way the first ended, with both sides running their guts out. We were looking for the equalising goal and they were looking for the goal to put the game out of reach.

Fortunately, we grabbed the goal first. Alfred (my team-mate) found me with space on the right and passed the ball to me. For me ? I saw the goal and just whacked the ball with everything I've got. Imagine the delight of the whole team when we saw the ball rocket into the back of the net. Now, let's look for the winning goal.

They say a team is most vulnerable right after they score a goal and how true it was. Less than 5 minutes after I've scored, the opponent hit back with another goal of their own. Our team was demoralized after that. However we never gave up fighting for every ball, and got our rewards with another two more goals. The matched ended 3-2 in our favour and although the whole team was exhausted, we were happy to win today.

Went Ajisen for lunch and ordered their tokusen ramen. Quite average to me, but alot of ingredients lah. Will try their volcano ramen the next time. Today's just not the day to eat such spicy stuff, especially not after a morning like I had.

So till the next post. Take Care Everyone !

What would you do if in the morning you promised to give your friends a lift back, but received a call from your mum in the afternoon to fetch her back too.

Would you:

1) Choose to fetch your friends back and tell your mum you're not free.

2) Choose to fetch your mum and retract on your promise to your friends.

3) Fetch your friends back den go back to fetch your mum from her office.

4) None of the above, just freaking go home by yourself to save all the trouble.

Oh and errrr... my camp's in Boon Lay, my house's at Tampines and my mum's office is located at Raffles Place.

Guess which option I took ?

Tell me what would you choose and I'll tell you mine =D

So is this good or bad ??

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

I've finally submitted my applications for the Australian Universities at the open house today. Wanted to submit earlier but my agent told me that if I submit today at the open house, the application fees would be waived.

So down I went for the open house today and it was packed with people. I wanted to enquire some things about Melbourne U but the queue for it was exceptionally long. So I decided to just submit my applications and get everything out of the way.

Since the applications fees were waived, I applied for a number of universities to try my luck and see if I can get into any one of them. But my preferred choice would be Melbourne U lah, I hope i can get into it man. If not I'll just go to Monash, it would be the more realistic option.

The results of my application will only be known in about a month's time or more, according to the counsellors there. After that, I'll then have to apply for accomodation.

So till then, take carez !

Facts of National Service

2007-01-06T20:51:00.000+08:00

Came across an interesting post in HWZ forum for National Service. Take a look at page 2 post #24. As someone who experiences the SAF's system of working everyday, I tend to agree with him. Combat personnel who doesn't understand how the SAF operates might disagree with him. But to me, his post depicts the SAF in its bare-nakedness.

It's been awhile since i last updated.... so here I am !!

Went out with Derek and Jinsheng last last Sat(21/12) for a KTV session.. Yeah only 3 of us and I'll tell you why now..

Jinsheng sms-ed around asking if anyone wanted to go KTV. Derek who was with Kangli watching movie at that time replied that both of them would be going.. And me, being the more "chin cai" one also agreed. Therefore, Jinsheng booked a room for 4 pple. The package was $72 for 4hrs (4pm -8pm).

I met JS first since derek and kangli were still watching the movie and will be late.. Derek said he'll be there at around 4.30pm so me and JS went into the room first. However by 4.45, they were still nowhere to be found... That one still ok, den Derek arrived at 5pm.. JS then asked him where's Kangli.. Imagine our horror when he replied "Oh he say he not coming liao, he want to study".

How can three people sing through FOUR HOURS of KTV ?!?! Somemore each of us has to fork out more money to cover Kangli's part. But we still did make it through anyway, albeit almost losing our voices lol.. After that we went for dinner and Kangli joined us. I then told kangli " eh u put aeroplane ar, say want to come den never turn up".

Kangli: "I never said I was going."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jinsheng and me then questioned derek coz he said both of them were going.. Imagine his reply..

Derek: "If i tell you all that he not coming, then u all won't go already wat."

!!!!!!!!!!!!! again.. Isn't that the point ?!?! If there are only three pple den go for wat ?

Ok den nvm, after dinner we went up to Cineleisure to buy tickets for Death Note 2. After buying the tickets, we den decided to play pool coz there were a few hrs to kill before the movie started.

Kangli said dun play in cineleisure coz it was expensive and so we went out of the building. Derek then asked us "where u all wanna play ? Turn left cheaper but quite far, turn right nearer but more expensive."

I suggested the nearer venue coz i also lazy to walk so far. Imagine my reaction when Derek led us to Monster Cue in Meridien. Anybody who frequently plays pool knows that Monster Cue is one of the most expensive places to play. $10.80 for one hour. I was like "u make us walk so far just to come to a place which is more expensive than Cineleisure's K-Pool ?"

Derek: "I told you all here more expensive wat, u still suggested coming here."

OMG! I then replied "Yes, coz i assumed that anywhere u bring us would be cheaper than K-Pool coz that's y we stepped out of Cineleisure in the first place isn't it ?". Anyway since we walked all the way there already so there's no point in debating further. So we played pool till around 11+ before we went back to catch Death Note 2.

It's quite a good movie imho and you should catch it if you have the time. The ending was quite touching and I almost didn't want Kira to die coz he's too smart to die so early buahahaha.

Anyway Happy New Year to everyone and may all your New Year Resolutions be fulfilled !!

A point to note though. The stuffs are from japan, so you'll have to ship them over if u want anything =)

What Tarot card are YOU ??

2006-11-29T16:01:00.000+08:00

You are The Chariot

Triumph, Victory, Overcoming Obstacles.

The chariot is one of the most complex cards to define. On its most basic level, it implies war, a struggle, and an eventual, hard-won victory. Either over enemies, obstacles, nature, the beasts inside you, or to just get what you want. But there is a great deal more to it. The charioteer wears emblems of the sun, yet the sign behind this card is the moon. The chariot is all about motion, and yet it is often shown as stationary. It is a union of opposites, like the black and white steeds. They pull in different directions, but must be (and can be!) made to go together in one direction. Control is required over opposing emotions, wants, needs, people, circumstances; bring them together and give them a single direction, your direction. Confidence is also needed and, most especially, motivation. The card can, in fact, indicate new motivation or inspiration, which gets a stagnant situation moving again.

the Need For Speed

2006-11-26T19:55:00.000+08:00

I got a new game for my psp!!

This game absolutely rOx !! Almost everyone in my camp is playing it now.. You can even play against yr friend through wiFi.. And there's even a lamborghini to unlock now.. Cars to unlock include the RX8, Subaru STI, Skyline, Nissan 350Z, Audit TT(a cute car), Ford Mustang and the Lamborghini..

It's a story based game and you'll have to conquer 14 cities to complete.. You can even recruit "wingmen" to assist u in the game.. Wingmen are your assistants and they'll race together with you.. There are 3 types of wingmen who u can recruit.. The assassins, the drafters and the brawlers..

Assassins will speed out in front of you and your opponents and lay down a spiked strip that will temporarily incapacitate any vehicle that drives over it. However, you'll have to be careful not to drive over the spikes too or you'll end up with the same fate. Brawlers will take out whatever car you've targeted; drafters will move in front of you and let you gain a speed boost if you can position yourself behind them..

All in all, it's quite a good game and I would recommend it to any car fanatic lol.. I'm having trouble keeping my hands off my psp because of this game now hahaha..

I guess it's time to move on...

So I took the bus back from Tampines Interchange today.. I hardly take the bus back coz i hate Tampines as it's always damn crowded.. Normally I would drop at Simei and walk back..

Another thing about taking a bus back is that I would pass by her house.. And everytime I would be reminded of her.. Everytime the bus passes by that stop, I would steal a glance at the stop and hope that she's there to take the bus..

A couple of times it actually happened and my heart did skip a beat when i saw her board the bus.. However I did not have the courage to actually go up and talk to her.. Not even a simple acknowledgement that I noticed she's there.. "Stupid" you say, but i'm just happy that I saw her..

I remember when I met my friend to study for the O levels in Tampines Library.. While looking for a table to study in the research room, we saw her studying there too.. My this certain friend who knew that I liked her immediately chiong to that table to sit lol.. After that my friend smsed me "Happy rite ??" hahaha... While studying, my mp3 player was repeating Jay's - Kai bu liao kou song coz it really summed up what i was feeling at that time.. As such, everytime i play that song would remind me of her..

She did not board the bus today, but I've been thinking to myself every since we passed that stop.. "What is this you're doing? She has already made it clear that it's impossible between u 2.. Why are u still thinking about her? If you're doing something about it den it's still not that bad, but you dun even talk to each other anymore.."

It was then that I realized how foolish I've been all these years.. For close to 5 years since she told me that, I've been holding on to something that's impossible.. You know the email u receive when somebody accepts your friend request in friendster? I have kept hers since February 2004.. I have no idea why i kept it in my email.. I just didn't want to delete it..

Well but I guess it's time for that to change..

The feeling of being a poly student all over again

2006-11-15T21:46:00.000+08:00

Ok.. So I finally dragged my lazy ass back to Ngee Ann Poly just to certify my certs after months of procastinating LOL. Apparently Monash was afraid that pple would change their grades when they photocopied their certs. Hence the need to certify it at the institution. My laziness had nothing to do with the fact that I lived in Tampines and my school located at Clementi. No really, it didn't matter one bit.

Anyway I went there in the afternoon and it was raining cats and dogs and hamsters and rabbits. I was expecting to get drenched when i reached NP coz the last time i was there, there were not many shelters in the school. But... Surprise surprise !! When I reached NP, there were actually shelters!! Why did they wait till after I graduated you'll have to ask them. Not only that, there's a street soccer court there now ! omg.. WHY NOT EARLIER ?! I could have played there during my time man.. What a difference a year and a half made.. C'mon it's not like I graduated 5 years ago rite ?

I tried my best to act like a poly student when I reached the school and I think I did it quite well. hahaha ya noe the t-shirt and jeans + a sling bag across yr body shit.. The only difference was that I noticed I looked older than the rest which can't be helped. I already had this "chao lao" face on the first day of school. One of my classmates actually thought I was the senior there helping out in the orientation -.-

Anyway I managed to certify my certs without much of a hassle and the kind guy there even provided me with an envelope to keep my certs. Less than fifteen minutes and everything was settled. I then went to City Hall to meet yuting to catch The Prestige.

Since I completed my stuffs early in NP, i reached City Hall earlier than scheduled. I then decided to walk around Raffles City to see if there was anything I could get. I browsed through Levi's, Esprit, Royal Sporting House and Bossini but nothing caught my fancy. In the end, I went to Robinsons and managed to get a T-shirt from there. After that I went to meet yuting before walking to Marina Square for the movie.

Town area is really empty during weekdays afternoons. For the first time, I walked through CityLink without the usual human congestion. As usual, I had to guess my way through Marina Square to locate the cinema. Luckily we didn't get lost along the way LOL.

The Prestige's a good movie imho. The plot was good and there were alot of twists to the story without the confusion that usually comes with it(eg. Black Dahlia and Infernal Affairs 3). It was like Infernal Affairs 3 which moved back to the past at times. However, there was no need to inform the audience that it was in the past as I could automatically understand which was the past and which was the present. It was amazing at how smoothly this movie went, it practically just flowed through.

*Every great magic trick consists of three acts. The first act is called "The Pledge"; The magician shows you something ordinary, but of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn"; The magician makes his ordinary some thing do something extraordinary. Now if you're looking for the secret... you won't find it, that's why there's a third act called, "The Prestige"; this is the part with the twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance, and you see something shocking you've never seen before. *

Heaven Knows

2006-11-02T21:29:00.000+08:00

She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up
Till I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know

And though she's so far away
It just keeps getting stronger everyday
And even now she's gone
I'm still holdin' on

So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

My friends keep telling me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in kind
I'll know she's mine
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breaking my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all the time I act so brave
I'm shakin' inside
Why does it hurt me so

Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

The Life Numerology Test

2006-10-31T01:00:00.000+08:00

Your life path number is 4

Life Path 4 (4, 13/4, 22/4, 31/4, 40/4)

The Life Path 4 suggests that you entered this plane with a natural genius for planning, fixing, building, and somehow, with practical application and cerebral excellence, making things work. You are one of the most trustworthy, practical, and down-to-earth of individuals; the cornerstone members of society. Indeed, as a Life Path 4, you are a builder of society. The cream of the crop in this Life Path can be a master builder in society. if you are among these highly talented people, you have an idealistic nature which is grounded in practical terms, allowing you to conceive grandiose, far-reaching schemes and carry them through to the end. If you desire and are willing to work for it, you can achieve enormous success, prestige, and fame. Obviously, everyone with a 4 Life Path does not become famous.

All with this Life Path have the ability to take orders and to carry them out with dedication and perseverance and many 4s live and work happily in this context. But so often, the 4 Life Path is the entrepreneur and manager in the community. In either role, you always demand as much from yourself as you do from others, and sometimes a lot more.

You have the kind of will power that is often mistaken for sheer stubbornness. You don't think of yourself as dogged, but your honest beliefs and that ever direct speech makes you come across as completely unremitting. Once a decision is made, it will be followed through to the conclusion, right, wrong, or indifferent. You are very set in your ways and determined to handle things the way you are so certain that they should be handled. Your tenacity of purpose and ability to get the job done borders on obsession. You are a wonderful manager with a great sense of how to get the job done.

You are an excellent organizer and planner because of your innate ability to view things in a very common sense and practical way. This stems from a strong desire to be a perfectionist in your labor. Planning is necessary to avoid errors. It's very likely that a 4 Life Path person invented the to-do list, because it is the rare Life Path 4 who doesn't have one by her side at all times. Your life is programed in an orderly fashion permitting you to catalog and manage the flow of ideas and activities that fill your day. Indeed, you seem to function best when you are under the gun and facing a tough set of problems.

Loyal and devoted, you make the best of your marriage, and you are always the good provider. Friends may be few in number, but you are very close to them and once friendships are made, they often last a lifetime.

The number 4 is solidly associated with the element of earth from which it gains its strength and utter sense of reality. You are one of the most dependable people you know. If patience and determination can ever win, you are sure to achieve great success in life. Often, you are called on to take care of others; to finish what they have started. It may not seem fair and probably isn't, but it may be the key to your accomplishment and reputation.

The negative side of the 4 can prove dogmatic to an excess, narrow-minded, and repressive. A lot of skin-deep people turn you off, and you lack the tact to keep your feelings from being totally clear to all around. Additionally, the negative 4 has a bad tendency to get caught up in the daily routine of affairs, missing the big picture and major opportunities that come along once in a while.

Death Note 2 Trailer

The 5 Values test

2006-10-28T18:39:00.000+08:00

Found this test from yuting's blog and thought it looked interesting.

Your Values Profile

Loyalty:

You value loyalty a fair amount.
You're loyal to your friends... to a point.
But if they cross you, you will reconsider your loyalties.
Staying true to others is important to you, but you also stay true to yourself.

Honesty:

You don't really value honesty.
You do value getting your way, no matter what.
And if a little lying is required to do that, no problem.
A few white lies never hurt anyone (at least, that's what you tell yourself!)

Generosity:

You don't really value generosity.
Your needs always come first, no matter what.
And you'll possibly help someone else out...
But only if it helps you in return.

Humility:

You value humility a fair amount.
You tend to be an easy going, humble person.
But occasionally your ego takes over.
You have a slight competitive streak - and the need to be the best.

Tolerance:

Not only do you prefer to be around people very similar to you...
They're the only kind of people you'll tolerate.
You know what you believe in, and you don't like to deviate from that.
You don't hate people who are very different - you just don't want to be around them.

I got ANOTHER new Toy !!

2006-10-28T09:26:00.000+08:00

I just got my iPod nano last Sat !! It's the 2GB one coz i don't actually need such a big space for my songs.. I couldn't even fill up half of the capacity in it. I wanted the black Nano to complement my V3, but there was only the silver colour one for the 2GB nano. The black colour's only available for the 8GB version. Well i'm fine with the silver one too, i just preferred the black nano.

This is the nano I bought

This is the case I bought

And this is how it looks like if I put the two together. It's blur lah so make do with it >.<

Now I can listen to my nano and play my psp on the train ! Everything cost me around $200, excluding the $100 gift card from my friends that is.

I think I'm spending too much money these few months... No ?

If you ride a bike, please DO NOT speed

2006-10-22T05:10:00.001+08:00

I know it's shiok to speed on a bike, all the wind blowing and the adrenaline rush. But it only takes an uneven road or a slight brush off another vehicle and your life will be gone.

I witnessed a motorcycle crash today on the TPE. Ok not really the crash, but the aftermath of it. The body was on the right lane, his shoe on the centre lane and his bike on the left lane. I don't even want think how hard the impact must have been.

10 seconds before the crash, the bike overtook my car as though it was stationary. I was travelling at 120km/hr mind you. So you can imagine the speed of the bike, I reckon it's around 200+. Within 3 seconds the bikes were out of my sight already.

I was thinking at that time "Crazy Bikers, ride until so fast. So dangerous, one day surely accident one". And true enough, i saw his body roughly 7 seconds later ? If what happened was because of what I said, then i sincerely apologise. I only meant it as a remark and I didn't want you to get into an accident. Really..

Anyway I was driving at the same speed when i suddenly saw debris on the ground. My mind instantly thought of the bikers. Thinking that the debris might have been from the bike, I took my foot off the accelerator. Then I suddenly saw a body lying infront of my car. I immediately jammed my brake and swerved my car to the centre lane(I was driving on the right lane).

I managed to avoid him, but i guess i must have had someone up there looking over me at that time. There were 3 points that were crucial:

1) I was able to brake in time coz i wasn't dozing when it's already 2.30am. (I guess it's the Minty Mocha I had at TCC just before i went back.)

2) I was lucky there were no cars in the centre lane when i swerved. If not another accident would have happened. Involving me this time.

3) I was lucky my car didn't skid when i jammed brake and swerved to the left at the same time.

My heart nearly jumped out of my mouth at that moment. I was this close to just running him over and effectively killing any hope of survival he had. Then I saw the car involved, the motorcycle did not crash into the car. More accurately, the motorcycle brushed against the car coz i saw a small part of the exterior of the door had been sliced. This kind of accident could have been avoided had the rider kept to the road limit and not speed. It's already dangerous enough riding a bike, but to speed so ridiculously on it, you are practically inviting the god of death to claim yr life.

I'm not very sure if he had any pillion with him, but i hope he doesn't as I don't think it's fair for the pillion to sacrifice his/her life because of the rider's irresponsibility. This is also the reason why I keep stressing that I don't wish to take pillions when I do get a chance to ride a bike.

So i beseech everyone who's riding out there, spare a thought for your parents even if you don't value your own life. Who would be the most hurt if anything were to happen to you ? They worked so hard to raise you up and yet because of some senseless thrill, you put your life in danger. It's a very irresponsible and unfilial act.

It's only when something like this happens then you will realize that actually as long as nothing bad happens to you and when everything else is peaceful and smooth sailing, is actually good enough. The other positive things that come with it are bonuses.

Imagine if I happened to be dozing off while driving and actually ran over him. There would be endless trouble for me. I guess the money that i donate to NKF every month actually accumulated some "ying1 de2" for me and because of that I managed come through the incident unscathed. If a guardian angel exists, she must have looked over me today and I thank her for that.

I hope the rider manages to pull through and I wish him all the best.

Good Nite Everyone !

Celebrated both merlin and my birthday last nite.. It was held in a room at Swissotel, The Stamford.. It's located inside Raffles City and I must say, the view there is breath-taking.. u can practically see the whole town from the balcony of the hotel room. Must thank Rebecca's friend coz she managed to get a staff discount for the room.

Managed to get some pictures from the balcony but is quite blur coz no anti-shake lol. So i'll only upload the slightly clearer ones.

Pictures!

Taken in the dawn hours

The Birthday Cake !!

Birthday Boy and Girl. I know i'm not photogenic

Blowing out the candles

Merlin taking a bite to remove the "candle holder" from the cake.She could do it coz hers was nearer to the edge. Mine was further in so I had to actually use my tongue to remove it. LOL there's a video footage of it but I dun think anyone would want to see it. And some people might get misconceptions from looking at the video if you know what I mean.

There's a problem with blogger and i cannot upload the group photo and the photo of my present. But anyway it's a gift card from Apple. I guess my friends know that I've been aiming an Ipod Nano for damn long already so they got me that. Thanks everyone !!

21yrs old liao. Man I'm getting old. That's it for now. Take care all. Oh and remember to feed Shiro before you leave this blog =D

HARLOOO~~~ It's been awhile hasn't it. Haven't been doing much lately thus the lack of entries. Oh and also partly because of THIS !

Ok before you all criticize my photography skills. I'm no trained photographer, I dun have any ~~Lumix~~ bombastic 5 mega pixel Anti-Blur camera, this was taken with my V3 and it's still VGA technology plus i dun have a certain ~~overrated~~ famous blogger's photoshop skills either ;(

But anyway I decided to get a PSP because my trip to camp is such a drag and with this, i can entertain myself on the train. You can listen to music on it, watch videos on it, play games on it and even surf the net when there's a wireless connection!!

Now i'm so addicted to my PSP that I use it everyday. I can practically stay at home and play with it all the time. Of coz that would make me more "No Life" than ever. Not that I had much to begin with anyway hahaha.

Total Damage ?

$270

$30

$130

+ a 1GB Memory Stick: $70

and a screen protector at $15

Everything adds up to a whopping $515 !!!!

my GOD!! I can't believe i spent so much on this. I guess everyone will be seeing "Michael Carrick" more often in their msn online list hahahaa.

Difference between ORD and ROD

2006-08-13T11:20:00.000+08:00

lol came across a post in a hardwarezone forum which describes the difference between a NSF, an ORD personnel and a ROD personnel.

NSF = you are the government's dog, chained up and kept inside your kennel

ORD = you are a free dog, not chained or kept inside your kennel anymore, can go anywhere you want but once in a while, your owner will come catch you to make you remember how to sit and fetch

ROD = you are no longer a dog.

My mum asked me why i took 2 days MC.. She said she wants me to suffer coz i never suffer before. . Like wat does she know ?

During my poly years, i travel from Tampines to Clementi everyday just coz she said NP's biz diploma is more recognised.. Does she know how tiring it is? Not to mention lugging a laptop to school too.

During my attachment, i go through shitloads of work everyday in PWC and even work OT.. OT during attachment!! Does she even bother to ask how's my attachment ? I got an A for my attachment by the way and i bet she doesn't even bother.

Now i wake up everyday at 5am to travel from Tampines to Boon Lay EVERYDAY TO AND FRO.. Not to mention getting scolded by my superior for something that is NOT my fault. I was so pissed off with my superior that i decided not to go to camp for these 2 days.

Just because i don't bring my troubles back home doesn't mean i'm living a happy go lucky life.. I would expect my mother of all pple to be the most understanding. But she seems to be the most ignorant person around.. If i was thinking of helping her to save money by studying at SIM instead, I changed my mind. I'm definitely going to Australia now.. Who cares about the school fees and accomodation, and yes i'm claiming allowance too.

Enough of thinking for other pple, time to think for myself.

2) your brother offers to give u 2 free tickets to watch Pirates of the Carribean on a Saturday afternoon at Lido

3) Instead of asking a decent girl out for a movie date, you turn down the tickets to play soccer with a bunch of guys.

That's also the reason why I'm at home now blogging instead of enjoying my time in town with someone else.

And people wonder why i'm still single at this age.

Champions of the World and deservedly so

Forza Italia~!

Revenge of Euro 2000

2006-07-06T20:25:00.000+08:00

Portugal is out of the Final! Actually I was supposed to support them so that if they won, Italy would have an easier time winning the World Cup. However once i saw Ronaldo's face on television, I decided to switch allegiance. People like him don't deserve to play in a World Cup Final. Trying to engineer a move away from Manchester United by doing what he did totally disgusts me. He forgot who made him the player he is now. It's like biting the hand that feeds you. I'm now hoping that he leaves Manchester United as soon as possible. Good Riddance.

Zinedine Zidane rarely disappoints does he, not even against one of the best penalty savers.

It's time you guys found out that diving and getting players sent off don't win you trophies.

Especially you... Loser~

Now it's a repeat of the Euro 2000 Final between Italy and France. Only this time, it's the world cup at stake. Who could forget the last minute equaliser by France who then went on to claim the title. Any Italy fan would still be smarting from that defeat and I'm sure Italy will be more than charged up for this match. I'm anticipating a great rivalry and an exciting match.

HAIL ITALIA~!

2006-07-05T06:01:00.000+08:00

Italy have kicked the host nation Germany out of the World Cup !!! The score was 2-0 to Italy after extra time. Luckily it didn't go down to penalties. Against the team with the best penalties record, Italy with 1 of the worst record wouldn't stand a chance. But it all doesn't matter now because Italy are in the World Cup Final !! Armed with the best defence around, I fully expect them to win the cup.

I'm so excited that I can't go to sleep now.

It's saturday morning and the weekend is here again ! I'll be 2 days closer to ORD by the end of this weekend~! lol sorry just can't get my ord date out of my mind.

Anyway I was travelling back in a cab with my campmates yesterday and invariably the topic of cars came up. We were all discussing when would we be able to each afford our own cars. I said like I'm gonna get my own car about 2 years after I start working. My other campmate Ryan then said "buy car so early, where got money to get married ?" And another guy Jason said " ya lor, buy car already surely no money to get married one"

Being the more materialistic and the only happily single one among the 3 of us, i said "den dun get married lor". And they kept quiet after that LOL. Sorry Mum, but i would really prefer a car.

Anyway back to topic. For guys, which would you choose ? Would you choose to get a car early and push back marriage for a few years or would you put romance in 1st place and get a car later ? I'm sure different people will have different opinions on this, as illustrated above. In my case however, I would feel planning for a car is much simpler as only you have to do the work. A relationship takes 2 hands to clap and me lacking in many social skills will probably find it easier to lift my own hands than to get someone else to lift hers.

Do not be mistaken, I am not lamenting about the fact that I don't have a gf. I'm just comparing the 2 and I choose the car instead.

Which will you choose?

仙剑奇侠传

2006-05-28T17:53:00.000+08:00

After one week of chionging the show, I've finally finished watching 仙剑奇侠传. It's quite a good show in my opinion and if you haven't watched it already from Channel U, i would recommend this show. Xian Jian focuses more on the romance than on the fighting which is supposed to be the core of all "wu xia pians". So be prepared for lots of crying if you were to catch it.

Let me introduce the main cast:

There were some cute scenes in Xian Jian, like when Ah Nu(Liu Ping Yan) rubs her face against Tang Yu's(Eddie Peng) face everytime they hug each other.

The story was great, the fighting was okay with lots of special effects, it was funny to an extent and it was a very touching show. Especially the scene when Xiao Yao(Hu Ge) thought that he was training with Yue Ru(An Yi Xuan) when actually she had already died.

Although many people loved Ling'er(Liu Yi Fei) me included, I felt that Xiao Yao would make a better match with Yue Ru instead. They were very compatible in the show and had great chemistry. Yue Ru's part in Xian Jian is quite sad and I felt very sorry for her because she sacrificed so much for Xiao Yao and yet he was oblivious to it. The part where Yue Ru decided to sacrifice herself to save both Xiao Yao and Ling'er so that they could be together left me NEARLY in tears.

The ending was terrible and could have been better. I was never a fan of sad endings and that was precisely wat Xian Jian had. It's worse than sad, it was tragic. I was totally devastated when Ling'er died. The fact that Ling'er came back up from the water looking just fine, and that little walk with all the happy talk about the future just made her eventual end so much worse! And the shattered look on Xiao Yao's face at the end of the show while holding on to the baby that he and Ling'er had, was damn heart-wrenching as he had lost all his friends and his loved one in the fight against evil.

Laziness

2006-03-19T15:18:00.000+08:00

Some of my camp mates wanted to visit the zoo. Yes, my first reaction was like yrs HUH?!?! Zoo?!?! How old liao still go to the zoo.

I also dunnoe y i agreed to join them. They said it's $7/ticket from Safra only so it's cheap. I also blur blur say ok lor. But then i realized that if u add 50cents more, we can watch a movie. Anyway it's not the venue or how much the ticket costs, I figured since they are going out i just join them lor. At least it's still a recreational activity lol.

Anyway i told them to get the tickets, but on Friday i received a msg asking me to buy the tickets instead. Reason was coz their safra membership is free whereas i paid for mine, therefore they are not eligible for the promotion.
(-_-'") ok lor i replied.

The problem is that it's Sunday already and i still haven't got the tickets. hahahaha.. Just too lazy to go down Safra and buy the tickets. It's like 15-20 minutes walk away you know. 20 minutes under the hot sun !!! lol i did contemplate taking a cab down to buy, but i dun have enough cash in my wallet. Inside only got a miserable 40cents. It didn't help that the Sun is burning like.... (struggling for words here) someone stole his hp and uploaded the videos.

I'm still thinking of a good excuse to tell them tmr when i go back to camp. In the meantime, take care everyone.

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident; it’s a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt.

After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, “So you’re a man, that’s interesting. I’m a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There’s nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days.”

Flattered, the man replied, “Oh yes, I agree with you completely!”“This must be a sign from God!”

The woman continued, “And look at this, here’s another miracle. My car is completely demolished, but this bottle of wine didn’t break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.”

Then she hands the bottle to the man, The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman.

The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.

The man asks, “Aren’t you having any?”

The woman replies, “No. I think I’ll just wait for the police…”

Another one for your reading pleasure

Once upon a time in Sg,there lived a happy coupled, Mr & Mrs Ng with their three lovely triplets daughter; Elaine,Ena & Ella.The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper fashion and when they reached 20, their parents thought it was time to get them married.

So, the parents found them the most suitable " leng chais" ( handsome guys ).

They got married and were preparing to set-off on their honeymoon.

As "concerned" (more like "kay-poh") parents, Mr & Mrs Ng were curious about their daughters' first-night experience. So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs Ng told them......" Your father and I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether you were satisfied.

Write a letter to us, but so as not to raise your husbands' curiosity...you all must use a code-name to describe your experiences".

So, the excited daughters were off.

A week passed. Mr & Mrs Ng got the first letter. It was from Elaine.

They opened the letter and found the word "STANDARD CHARTERED". They immediately took the newspaper and looked for the Standard Chartered advertisement. "Ah! here it is!", exclaimed Mr. Ng. The motto for Standard Chartered was.... "BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY" Mr & Mrs. Ng were happy.

A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Ena. The content was simple. "NESCAFE". So, again they took the neswpaper and looked for the Nescafe ad. "Ah! here it is. "NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL THE LAST DROP". Again, Mr & Mrs Ng beamed with joy.

Another week passed. A month passed. And another. There was still no letter from Ella. The Ngs became worried. Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and could hardly be read, but Mrs. Ng managed to figure it out. The code-name was "SINGAPORE AIRLINES".

Why Singapore Airlines? Mr.Ng rushed to the nearest store and got a newspaper. He flipped the pages frantically. "Ah! Here it is!" Mrs.Ng grabbed the page and read aloud.

Before she could finish .THUMP!!!...she fell off her chair. The motto was... "7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP."
