H-A-P-P-Y L-U-N-A-R N-E-W Y-E-A-R Guys~ Seriously my blog is sooooooo lack of update. Suppose to update during Chinese New Year but then I don’t really have the mood to blog it as my granny just “Expired” last year so some it affect our New Year mood. Really miss her… Anyway ever since I started working, Life has been busy. Check out my daily routine.

Monday - Friday
8.30am – 6pm (Work)
6pm – 7pm (Duration to reach home)
7pm – 7.15pm (Shower Time)
7.15pm – 8pm (Online Gaming)
8pm – 8.30pm (Dinner)
8.30pm – 11.30pm (Back to Online Gaming)

Saturday – Sunday (IF I stay at home)
8am – 11pm (Online Game)

Well this is my new daily routine, sounds pretty boring right? I think so too. But starting from 21st of February, my practical driving lesson at SSDC (Safety Singapore Driving Center) will start and eventually every weekend morning from 8am – 10am I'll be out for lesson but at the same time I’ll be very broke since my practical lesson falls on weekend it's expensive… *huge sigh

I am always playing online game. It has been one of my favorite pass time. First was Silkroad Online, now is Perfect World. It has become my daily routine. It's just like another role I'm living in. Another role I need to fulfill. I am deeply addicted to the game. Whenever I'm free, my first thought will be, "I need to level my character. I need to login."

Perfect World (1)

After work, I'm always looking forward to rush home as to carry on with my gaming. Why? Well because I need to compete with other players & there's certain level I need to hit in order to be one of the so call "High Level Players". Apart from that, of course there are also other "reasons" for me to stay online.

Perfect World (2)

Seriously I think this is not healthy in a long run. I mean once in awhile is ok but I am spending way too much time on the game. I thought of cutting down the time I spend on game or even thought of stopping the game and concentrate on other stuff like maybe practice my piano, jogging, catching up with friends, talk to my family or do some brainstorming on what can I improve on my work. "Cyber World" isn’t real & it can never be my main. My real life is the one that I should be spending/focusing my time on & not the "Cyber World".

Perfect World (3)

I need to move on. I need to add color to my life. I need changes. I need to get out of my "comfort zone". I guess I had enough of all these fantasy thoughts of mine trying convinced myself to be contented by hiding in "Cyber World". I know I can never be & I know I want more than what I have now. That’s human being… That's also the reason why human can never be truly happy as they are always greedy & are out for more…

Perfect World (4)

H-A-P-P-Y N-E-W Y-E-A-R to all guys~ Sorry for the late greetingz. I have been feeling quite sick for the past few weeks, didn't celebrate on New Year's Eve. I can't even order pizza to celebrate. *frown* I guess I must be getting old. My body is getting weaker... Can't keep it.

For my New Year Resolution, I hope to be like "Shikamaru" from Naruto. The smartest ninja of them all. If I have such intelligent and are able to plan well, I think it will help me obtain/reach my goal faster~

For work wise, I start to get the hang of it. Along with time I had been knock a couple of times, but end of the day, I learn, absorb and understand what is going on. To survive in work life is an art and now, I'm in the process of learning. I hope the 2009, the year of an Ox will be full of spirit & energy. May this force boost up the world economy!

Merry X'mas~

Yesterday was a half day for me. Work end at 1pm, In between, there's a gift exchange event and these are the present that I received from my friends at work. Thanks guys for your presents!

Present Received

Perhaps I'm getting old..., and I remember when I'm still young, I used to enjoy hanging out with friends during festive season, enjoy the crowd and stuff but now, I'm kinda lazy and prefer to stay at home with my mum. Order 2 large pizza and that's my X'mas celebration. *smiles* Well..., also one of the factor that makes me stay at home is because I'm waiting for the arrival of my NEW 37'inch LCD AQUOS HD TV! WOOHOO!

New TV(1)

Although I didn't manage to meet up with my friends "live" this year but still, I had another bunch of international friends online. I'm now into this game known as "Perfect World". As you can see, this is my character in the cyber world and X'mas is been celebrated in game as well. *smiles*

3 more days to X'mas. Although I had spend quite alot in this year X'mas but I guess it's worth seeing people around you smiling when they receive the X'mas gift. Down in depot, they had setup a wishing corner where they can write down their wishes and I too had join in the fun by writing my wishes and also had took pictures of it as well.

Spot My Wish Card?

My Wish Card

Just as we were enjoying the incoming festive season, there were a few that wasn't enjoying it due to economy downfall... I can't really feel the downfall until today... One of my friend(whom I shall not mention the name) call me saying that he got retrench and I got shock... I wasn't expect that to happen. I mean both of us are fresh graduate... and we started almost the same time...

After 2 months he told me he was retrench? And that worries me as well. *shaking his head & sigh* No matter what, hang on buddy~ I'll try to spread the newz and see if there's any job offers for you. Shall keep you update.

For the past few days, though it was pretty hectic but at least I had fun, enjoying and stuff but today, I sort of screw up one of my major project. I'm suppose to do a presentation about the findings to my manager and partner but end up, my presentation was rather sloppy.

Seriously I do not know what am I thinking. I came out with a presentation with no decent title, no objective, no stats but mainly on the causes, finding, suggestion which is not strong enough to back me up.

Am I too focus on the finding of the problem resulting in this sloppy state or perhaps I'm still living in my own fantasy world thinking that I'm still in school? When analyzing, there's always careless mistake and that will result in giving others a chance to question, doubt my ability. Since there's always assignment for me that's why I have to learn how to multi-task and at the same time stay focus & produce the "quality".

Like I had mention a couple of times that my manager is nice and patient and because of that, it made me feel guilty, made me feel that I let him down which I start to question myself for things like, am I really up for the position that I'm having now? am I suitable for the job? Am I a person that is up for new challenges? I seriously don't know...

Yesterday was my granny's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANNY! but I couldn't stay for long for her birthday party as I need to rush to my friend's wedding. So after staying for like 2 hours, I need to make a move and I took a cab.

Happy Birthday Granny~

Like I was saying yesterday, I'm back to Swissotel Hotel again. Another friend of mine is getting married and this time round is Jasmine~ She is one of my secondary school mate. Times really flies..., we used to play and study together and now everyone has grown up and all are getting married. smiles*

Other then Chinese New Year, wedding is another occasion where it brought us together. During the wedding dinner, the topic seems to have change. Last time we used to talk about cars and now they are talking about babies, parenthood and stuff. As for me, I can only listen for my "future refereneces".

Jasmine's Wedding (3)

Guess I really need to catch up with them by at least get myself a girlfriend BUT then again I will not rush as I believe in falling in love naturally and will not purposely go and fall for one.

I just reached home from D&D. *exhausted* For the past few weekend, I haven't been resting. There's always something for my weekend and this week is another busy week. In the morning I went for my FTT(Final Theory Test) & WOOHOO! I pass! Another step closer in getting a car license! *monkey grinz*

FTT PASS!

After the test, I head back home, play a few hours of games and had to get ready for the D&D(Dinner & Dance) It was my very first time attending D&D and this year theme is "Hawaiian". Well..., I already try to be as "Hawaiian" as I can. *hee* After the registration for lucky draw, I had the chance to take photo with 2 of the pretty "Hawaiian Girls" at the entrance~ *nose bleed*

"Hawaiian Girls"

Anyway the D&D is organized at Swissotel Hotel. This year it's a combine of all TNT's staff celebrating as one family. Quite a huge event. By the way, tomorrow I'll be coming down to Swissotel again to attend my friend's wedding. -.-

I ran,hide,aim,shoot and had to transfer/carry the box from the frontline and avoid been shot all the way back to my base! FUN! *monkey grinz*

Paintball

The people who came for the Paintball were Azza, Apple, Meifong, David's wife, David, Daniel, Gerald, Garnesh & Kiegan. A total of 10 person including me. After the game, we went to wash up, get changed and were ready for dinner. We ordered at few dishes and it was not bad. Everyone seems to be enjoying the food.

After dinner, our initial plan was to play bowling but the waiting time was like 1-2hours so we decided to change venue and head straight to Northpoint for desert. Along the way, Apple and I took a few random shots inside the bus.

Meifong

Well, and this is Daniel, my partner. We work together and he has been a great help to me. Other then my manager, he is also very patient. A very sweet, funny, nice guy to work with and until recently then I realize that he is only 24!

I had a busy weekend this week as you can see on Friday I went out with Huimin and my poly friends and on Saturday, I had wake up early to shift my piano and pc aside cause the guys from "Gain City" will be coming to install my new air con~ *cheers*My air con has been down for 4 months since Sep and finally I get to enjoy the cool air once again~

Old Air Con

Previous air con lasted around 6-7 years and since it's totally down aka can no longer be repaired, so we got no choice but to buy a new set and due to financial constraint, we decided to kiv until recently, thanks to the air con promotion in expo, my mum went and she is pleased with the deal so here we are with our NEW air con~

New Air Con

Well, there goes my weekend. Tomorrow is Monday which means..., I gonna work again! *frown* I mean who likes to work? Who doesn't wanna slack and yet got money to spend? So you can't really blame me from complaining right? *laugh*

Happy Birthday Huimin!

Remember I told you guys about the adding my own gold? Well, I had somehow added in my own element into it and now it has been implemented. Everyday I'm in the process of learning, although there are times I screw things up but end of the day, I still manage to remain calm and get things solve. Ok, enough of work. Today I meet up with Shervel and Huimin, purpose is to have an advance celebration for Huimin 21st BIRTHDAY! WOOHOO~

Me & Huimin (1)

Me & Huimin (2)

Since we are all working and sometimes it's kinda hard for us to meet with the same date and timing so I must say I'm pretty glad that today, all 3 of us were able to make it. We met up at bugis, I had bought her bracelet and treat her dinner.

Me & Shervel (1)

Hopefully my presence makes her feel happy. To Huimin: May all your wishes come true, be happy, stay pretty, and may you find your happiness soon. *smiles* After the dinner, we took a few shots, shop around and I left at around 8pm because I still have to meet up with my poly friends at Giraffe.

Me & Shervel (2)

Huimin & Shervel

Again, it's pretty hard to organise such gathering and I'm pleased to see my poly friends again. Really miss those days in school. We grumble, complain, nag, question, basically just updating each other on our current situation.

Gathering (1)

Gathering (2)

Ever since I started working, the frequency of me blogging has been lessen because everyday it's about work and nothing more. I can't possibly blog about work everyday which will be pretty boring unless there's something interesting that triggers me and if not, probably everyday is the same old routine.

Gathering (3)

Gathering (4)

And today is a good chance for me to blog as there's a couple of event going on, I had a topic and most importantly photo to show you guys~ Most of us had found a job except for a few but never the less, I still hope they'll find a decent job soon.

Gathering (5)

Gathering (6)

The whole session ends at around 10.30pm and we spend like $400+ on food and drink. *frown* I hope we'll still have the chance to meet up in big group again as it's really a good chance to relax, chill, share our thoughts, vent out our problem/constraints.

Gathering (7)

End of the day, I had finally bought myself a new watch. It's kinda cool in a way as it's different from normal clock timing. Hard to explain but if you happen to meet up with me, I shall elborate more.

I had just won myself a $20 taxi voucher and $5 NTUC voucher for participating in company quiz. Some was jealous and was complaining that I'm lucky but ya I can't denied that's part of the truth as well *laugh* cause there should be quite alot of people taking part and even if I got the right answer, I still gonna be pick by draw.

Lucky~

Just as I thought I was doing well, guess what...? I was wrong. Recently my manager had given me a project and I'm suppose to ordinate with another department officer to make this plan work out. I really put in effort by consulting their opinion, understand their constraint, did brainstorming and stuff and I thought I'm ready present the proposal to my manager but it turn to be a failure.

Feedback from my manager kinda enlighten me. Really start to like my manager *laugh* cause I guess we are the same, we both are thinker and he really trigger my thoughts. Anyway he was saying, I was mainly collecting information from the department officer and did not add in my own element. In order to add value, "You must make things that passes through your hands into gold". Sounds hard? To be frankm I start to feel the stress now.

Luckily my manager was patient enough and he told me not to rush, do more research and submit a more comprehensive proposal on Monday. I do not know whether with my current ability allow/enables me to turn things into gold but by Monday, somehow... I must finish my proposal by making it into gold.

Yesterday mark the end of my OJT and I know that after my completion of OJT, I might not have the chance to stay in depot to spend time with them and to thank them for their guidance, I decided to give all the managers, supervisor and team leader a treat to show my appreciation. For the past 4 weeks of OJT, I had been enjoying in terms of making lots of new friends and had also learn lots of valueable information regarding the work processes which is going to become very handy/useful to me in the future.

Food I Order

Basically I order KFC & Canadian Pizza which consists of
10 pcs Chicken
1 large Popcorn Chicken
2 med Whipped Potato
1 med Coleslaw
1 Extra Large Hawaiian Classic
1 Extra Large Alantis

Random Pictures(1)

It's kinda hard for me to gather and also I do not wish to cause any inconvineces to the manager, supervisor & team leader as they all were having different break time so I can only take a few random shots of those who are having the same break time with me.

Random Pictures(2)

Random Pictures(3)

All of them are very friendly and has been kind to me. Didn't quite expect such things from work as my impression of work is always people been selfish, not all are friendly but surprisely, the culture in TNT quite the opposite. *smiles*

Random Pictures(4)

Random Pictures(5)

After the OJT, I'm so called "graudated" and will be working officially as an SQ which is this coming Monday and I believe this is where the real challenge begins. Once again, I sincerely thanks all people in Depot for been so friendly/helpful/kind to me and I really enjoy my stay with you guys! Though I might not have the chance to work with you guys but no worries, once in awhile when my works ends at 6pm, I'll still go down and chit chat with you peeps~ Love you guys *muackz*

I went to watch Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa with Mood aka my Sis and a few of her colleague. This movie is actually sort of her union event and since my Sis had extra ticket, so I was invited to join in the fun. *monkey grinz* The atmosphere was great as most of them brought their kids along and the kids create noise in a way..., like when the lion roar, they will roar etc, well some may find it irritating but personally I find it quite lively *smiles*

Madagascar Escape 2 Africa (1)

Madagascar Escape 2 Africa (2)

Alright back to the movie, basically iy's about Marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane - sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of all

Madagascar Escape 2 Africa (3)

The vast plains of Africa itself, where our zoo-raised crew encounters species of their own kind for the very first time. While discovering their roots, they quickly realize the differences between the concrete jungle and the heart of Africa. Despite long-lost relatives, romantic rivals and scheming hunters, Africa seems like a "crack-a-lackin" great place...but is it better than their Central Park home?

First of all, I'm so sorry for the lack of update and stuff as you know I just started work so there's still alot of things I need to learn and it's like the time is always not enough. Reached home feeling tired, hungry and after shower, rest awhile and I can hear my bed summoning me and the next day, work start again. *frown*

Anyway here's the update. Yesterday I went for a haircut and my hairstylist who is now my friend told me that her colleague told her that I look very stress and I was like huh? really? am I? I kinda shock to receive such a feedback and I realize that ya... indeed I am quite stress in a way. I knew I was stress but I didn't realize that my stress level is high enough to be shown/obvious to others... *pout*My Manager taught me about this Push & Pull theory and perhaps I shall share with you guys.

Push Learning = Knowledge has been push/force into you be it you like it or not. Knowledge learn 20%

Pull Learning = Knowledge that is been pull/attract automatically based on your interest/curiosity/interest/liking. Knowledge learn 80%

Although both require certain effort to be absorb into your brain but "Push Learning" certainly require more effort from your brain compare to "Pull Learning". And now I'm facing both "Push and Pull". Knowledge/things that I need to learn/absorb be it I like it or not and knowledge/things that I want to know due to my curiosity/responsibilties and maybe because of these 2 factor had result me feeling/looking tired/stress?

Today is my 3rd week for my OJT under "Bagging Processes". I had done my homework and already had the flow of the processes in my mind so later on I'll only need to do some hands on to get the feel of it which is also a good thing, I mean can make use of this chance to sweat all my "stress" out. Well I'm running late gonna go for work shall keep you guys update asap. *smiles & waves*

This week I was attached to "Undeliverables Process" department for 3 days and I didn't expect to finish up the process within a day so I was kinda worried that how am I gonna do/make myself useful for the next 2 days and just as I was wondering, I was told/inform to attached to GSA(Ground Service Agent) which mean to follow the driver around to observe how they deliver and the processes/problem occurred during delivery.

James (GSA)

I always wanted to follow the GSA around and today, I happen to have the chance. I was lucky enough to be attached to James(GSA as he is really a very positive, funny, basically he is an awesome guy. He taught/share with me me his philosophy of life and one of them kinda trigger my thoughts. "Inorder not to work for life, you must first to to love your work." Cool isn't it?! Which I think it's very true.

During the delivery, James told me that this is one of the most posh office building in Singapore that he has delivered. It's very near bugis and when we went in the building it was VERY posh! I didn't take pictures of it cause James told me that the security won't allow and I did try to "sneak take" but failed. The security keep looking at me. *pout* Maybe my movement was too obvious which make me suspicious? *laugh*

To summarize my day, I think I had the most fun with GSA and time passes kinda fast as we are always on the move and to us, time is always not enough. Well I'm very glad that I was given the chance to attach to GSA for a one day "excursion" and will definately looking forward to the next one. *smiles*

Well guys, I had fun during my 3 days in CIC. Though at first I'm not used to reached home at 11pm+ but along with time, I start to get used to it. During this 3 days in CIC had really build up my knowlege, had a better understand of the processes and had certainly open up my exposure.

Me & Eric

Everyday I work for 8 hours in the afternoon which start form 2pm - 10pm, though it's tired but for the past 3 days we joke, we work, we sweat, we help each other and it's just like a big family. I learn that every processes requires detail checking and if one make mistake = CIC make mistake as the team leader don't consider a staff as an individual but they see everyone as a team which that I think it's a very healthy concept.

CIC Staff (1)

All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. I'm also glad that during this 3 days, I had created bond with the CIC staff. During my last day of attachment in CIC, I manage to request and they all agreed in letting me take some pictures with them and that shows the mark of my existance.

CIC Staff (2)

Once again, I sincerely thanks all CIC staff for been patient with me in terms of guiding me along the way and I apologized if I had cause any trouble/disturbance (I hope not) during the 3 days in CIC.

CIC Staff (3)

CIC Staff (4)

To summarize things up, the fear and fun both comes from exploration. When I'm talking about fear it means during exploring in CIC, I do not know how far my capabilities can bring me. I do not know how much or how fast can I learn/absorb/understand in 3 days. As for fun part, the feel of "Freedom" in searching for new exploration cause it's all up to me to explore and to decide who to talk to, what to observe, what type of question need to be asked and like I had mention new bond are created.

I do not know whether it means anything to him but to me, it means something. I felt it's kinda sweet of him and his gesture certainly brighten my every morning to work. *smiles* And I guess it's time to introduce some of my new friends/lunch time kakis. They are Apple, Daniel, Ganesh & Solomon. Pictures of them, well perhaps in the coming future.

I'll be going for OJT(On Job Training) for 4 weeks and each week I'll be attached to various department to learn more about their processes and at the same time, I hope to create bond/connection with them which might help me in the coming future.

Today Siew Feng from my OSIP company called me and that caught me in surprise~ Seriously I'm quite happy to hear her voice as during my internship days with her was fun and I also thought that it's kinda sweet of her to call me asking how am I getting on and stuff. Well I told her that there's still alot of things for me to learn and since I'm very new to logistics, it might take some time for me to get the hang of it.

We chat for like 10 mins on phone and after she hang up, I was thinking since on the 28th of October I had apply a morning half day for my Final Theory Test, I believe there should be some spare time and during that spare time, I'll definitely be droppng by to visit them as it's also quite near my current workplace.

In term of work environment, I find everyone very friendly. Be it in the morning or afternoon, even though we don't know each other but still, we'll either greet each other or smile. My manager and my partner/colleague had been very kind to me. Both of them are very friendly and patient so basically I had no problem in communicating with them. Though at times it can be quite stress when I try to absorb new stuff but at the same time, I had also start to like my job. *smiles*

Few months ago, weekend and holiday doesn't make a difference to me but now it is different! Weekend to me is like so precious!! *laugh* It's the only 2 days where I can rest fully and get myself ready/recharge for the new week ahead.

First Day Of Work

2008-10-15T19:42:00.004+08:00

Sunny Day
15th of October
Wednesday

6.30am is the timing that I had to get used to it now cause only then, I can wash my hair, get my hair done, dress up and get ready to work. Today is my first day of work and it's just like orentation. Basically the journey to work is the same as going to school. The only difference is instead of taking bus 23 or 15, I took 31. Anyway upon reaching my workplace, I was been brought to my desk.

My Desk (1)

I thought my desk is pretty empty so I text Huiling saying don't know what I should place on my desk and she give me a reply which I find it funny at the same time quite true. She say, "Aiya bring a cup will do, since you also don't know whether you'll work there for long." I mean I'm still under prohibition of 3 months so...

My Desk (2)

After that, I was given a new set of stationary and also I had to read up this is booklet which basically consist of the company background, policies, my benefit, etc. Took me quite awhile to finish reading it.

Booklet

My Stationary

Since today it's my first day, I had nothing much to do. I was been introduce to some of the staff and I had also make use of the time to get myself familiar/comfortable with the environment. I thought I'll be getting my laptop on Monday but it came in the afternoon.

My Laptop (1)

So basically this is my first day of work. I guess probably next week, things will be assign to me and I'm actually looking forward to it. *smiles* Well, I assume there's more update to come so stay tune~

Tuesday

Before I start my first day of work tomorrow, I still need to go for a medical check up under the company clinc. So I reached the clinc at around 10pm and it was like packed. Although I hate to wait but then I realized that in life, "waiting" is unavoidable and is also part of our life so be it I like it or not, I'll have to compromise with it.

The whole process took about 2 hours which include the taking of my height, weight, testing of color blindess, eye sight, health and lastly the X-ray. So... I guess that's it..., Today is my final last day to slack all as tomorrow, things will change and like I had mention, the turning point of my life.

And for the past few days I had been doing some shopping like buying long sleeves, socks, belt etc. One of the long sleeves that I bought happen to be in strip with pink. I'm afraid I might look gay on it but my friends told me it look nice on me so I just bought it. *hee* Alright then, I think I'll just stop here, shall update you guys on my first day of work tomorrow in the mean time, I'm gonna slack while I STILL can~

Today I went to TNT at 2pm for a tour as the manager wanted me to know more about the working environment and also my final confirmation regarding whether am I still interested in the job. During the tour, the manager had explained to me the various processes of individual station and things that might happened/occured along the way followed by a Q&A(Question and Answer) session with the HR of what are the benefit that I'll be entitled as an employee of TNT. Overall I'm quite pleased and I'll start work on the 15th of October which falls on next Wednesday.

Giraffe

I believe I had now face a turning point where soon, I'll enter a new phrase of life. The real working life which is totally different from my school life/part time job environment. I am keen/curious to find out my new life as I can foresee my theory/thinking/experience will change along with time yet at the same time, uncertainties are form as I'm about to step out of my "Comfort Zone" which result in fear. All I can say is, it's time to test out my abilities/capabilities to see how far I can go.

Food That I Order

After the tour/Q&A, I met up with Wenwui and JJ at Giraffe, a restaruant that is opposite of Plaza Singapura. I like the environment of Giraffe cause the music they played is smooth/relax and it's setup beside the water fountain and that gives you a very cozy and peace feeling. If I happen to meet up with my kakis or friends in Plaza Singapura, Giraffe will definitely be my default place to chill.

Recently I had also been trying out this new online game known as the "Perfect World" For those who are interested, you can click on it to find out more. I had post a few screenshots of my character flying around the map.

I met up with Huiling to catch this movie, "Painted Skin". I was feeling gulity though as she wasn't feeling well and yet she still turn up to catch this movie with me. She told me it was gastric pain but still..., I felt pretty worried for her cause if it's not handle properly, things could still get nasty. Hope she'll get well soon. *smiles*

Painted Skin (1)

"Painted Skin" is a thriller centering on a vampire-like woman who eats the skin and hearts of her victims. The film is adapted from the ancient novel "Liaozhai Zhiyi," or "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio," written by Pu Songling during the Qing Dynasty.

Painted Skin (2)

The actresses Zhou Xun and Vicky Zhao has an eerie feel. Zhou, who plays a fox sprite, appears in the photo as a human, while white-headed Vicky Zhao weeps tears of blood.

Painted Skin (3)

Terror strikes a town when people start turning up dead with their heart ripped out clean. Suspicion centres around a mysterious woman named Xiao Wei (Zhou Xun) who was taken in by army general Wong (Chen Kun).

Painted Skin (4)

Soon, his wife Pei Rong (Vicki Zhao Wei) and his one-time close ally Pang Long (Donnie Yen) realise that she is indeed an evil jinn-like demon who has fallen in love with the general. Seeking to expose the demonic seductress, they realise that it can all only end in conquering love and hate through wisdom and sacrifice.

Painted Skin (5)

A pretty cool movie I must say. Based on the story, scene, graphic I think they deserve a 3.5 star out of 5. But if you were to catch this movies on a weekdays before 5pm at the price of 6 bucks then I believe it should deserve 4 star out of 5. *hee*

I was feeling good and refresh today! After the whole hibernating thing, I can feel that my energy is back again. Now I finally understand what they meant by "Resting is also part of the journey". It's been a long time since I had check on my nuffnang profile and thanks to Xinyi, a very sweet girl whom had taught me some cool function that I didn't know which include one of them below:

Visitor Chart

If you were to click on the chart, you can see that this chart itself allows me to see the countries and uniques of people that surf my blog and I'm pretty surprise that my blog is actually quite international. *monkey grinz* As for the other function, for now I shall keep it a secret. Shall reveal the rest when the time is right. *evil laugh*

Refresh (1)

Subsequently, I will change and upload new music to my music player and there's no time frame. Sometimes if none of the song had caught my attention then I'm sorry you had to bear with some of the old song but recently I had upload a few nice song, Mandarin, English & Japanese song. Hope you guys will like it. *smiles*

Refresh (2)

And as for why the random shots...,

1) I'm meeting up with my so call "ex boyfriend aka good friend aka 2 headed snake aka Wenwui" for a little chit chat session at 3pm.

2) Apologized for the winding, nagging of long entries.

3) I'm awake and in a pretty good mood.

4) To ease the crave for those who miss me and can't meet me. *evil laugh*

Sunny Day
5th of Septermber
Sunday

To others today may be a beautiful day as it's sunny and all but to me, the only beautiful day is when it's cloudy or when it's raining but still, I hibernate for like 14 hours. I had no idea why am I feeling so tired perhaps these few days there had been too many decision and choices to make resulting in over "use" of my brain cells. Some may wonder what kinda decision/choices? Well, for the past few days, these are some of the things that had been going through my brain.

What kinda job should I decided to work as?

How long can I work in that field?

If I work decided on the job, can I handle it?

How far can I go with my career?

Will I be able to obtain my car license by next year April?

I need to step out of my comfort zone in order to excel but can I survive if I step out of it?

Will I be able to pull through?

Am I determine to follow through my plans?

Can I handle relationship well?

How am I going to make it work? And the list goes on...

After hibernating for 14 hours, I asked myself these question and I suddenly remember what Mr Cooper had told me in Cambodia, "Zhimian, I know you are smart, you plan and you know what to expect in life but still, you need to learn how to go with the flow, need to learn how to take a step at a time". Well it may sounds easy/simple but usually it's always the hardest when it comes to been simple.

Of course in life, I can't expect all people to like me and I just wanna say for the minority who hated/dislike me, Well..., "Get out of my life, I'm sorry that our frequency just doesn't match". *waves* And as for those who like me, "Congraulation! We belong to the right frequency~ *smiles* All I can say is, for those who believe and had faith in me, no worries, I promise I will NOT let anyone of you down. As long as you trust me, I will pin down all my problem just like a strike in bowling. *thumbs up*

This entry is gonna be bit lengthy with no pictures but it's an important update to me so I hope you guys will bear with me. Yesterday I went TNT located somewhere around Changi South to interview for the postition of Service Quality Officer.

Principal Purpose of Job

Reporting to the Service Quality Manager (Singapore Country Office), my role is to monitor the various key operational processes to ensure that the service level is maintained at all times.

Key Responsibilities

To perform daily extraction and analysis of data from the systems, ensure the necessary service commitments are fulfilled and perform weekly analysis that will lead to improved service levels

To provide administrative support in the implementation of various Service Quality projects

This time round, the interview is slightly difference compare to the rest. It's more to a chit chat session which had given me no stress at all. The interview started at 9.30am but I end up chatting with the manager for 1.5 hours and it end close to 12pm. End of the day, I had a pretty good impression of the company, manager, postition and the salary they offer. Probably I'll be able to start work next week. Shall keep you guys update again.

Date at PS

As for the date at PS yesterday, it's not convenient for me to reveal too much in detail but my overall impression of her(I shall label her as "小朋友") which includes the way she talk, body movement, concept, hobbies is still ok. Anyway, we went for dinner at sasake, catch a movie(Connected) and play pool. Along the way, we did chat about our likes, past and stuff inorder to find out more about each other.

As for my final conclusion about her, all I can say is, I find her about a bit lost and lack of experience in relationship and like I had said, it's not convenient for me to reveal too much in detail but I believe I had already told her what I expect and think of her. So now I'm just waiting for her to get into the right track.

So "小朋友", although time may eventually provide you with conclusion but don't take too much time cause taking too much time will be = "Taking Things For Granted". *smile* Remember what I sms you yesterday and if still, you can't find the right track, no worries, along the way, I'll be there to help/guide/lead. *smiles*

My energy level have been pretty low lately. I was wondering is it because I'm ageing or is this whole interview thing been tiring me out? I had been to several job interview and I must say my brain have to really process and to decide what, how, when to say inorder to impress/convince my interviewer.

I Survived A Japanese Game Show (1)

I Survived A Japanese Game Show (2)

It can be pretty stress specially when you are making a decision on whether did you make the right choice on choosing to work for a company and whether if you can cope with the work before you join the company or perhaps I'm thinking too much? Almost everyday I had been attending interviews which is a good sign as some of my friend had said that they don't even have one. Though I had no problem dealing with interviews but I had begin to grow sick of it.

I Survived A Japanese Game Show (3)

Trying to be feel relax, I decided to watch tv hoping I might find something interesting and this show in channel 5 caught my attention and I think it's pretty cool~ I mean this Japanese TV show is hi-larious! This show sure captures some of the insanity.

I Survived A Japanese Game Show (4)

The name of the show is known as "I Survived A Japanese Game Show" an unscripted reality/game show, takes an eye-opening, behind-the-scenes look at 10 Americans - many of whom have never traveled outside the United States -- who are whisked away to Japan and compete in the ultimate Japanese game show...with hilarious results. The final winner will take home $250,000.

It's a very entertaining show and it's definately worth watching. Well I guess it's time for me to sleep..., ya I know it's like close to 10pm but I don't know..., I just feel very tired... I need to rest as tomorrow, I'll be having an important date.

Today I shave, style my hair, get myself dress up in order to make myself presentable for the interview for the position of recruitment consultant. My appointment is at 2pm located at Singapore Shopping Center under a company known as Job Solutions. I must say that the interview with the manager is pretty tough in the sense that, she had pin out lots of stuff that I neglected. She mention stuff like been stress, aggressive, dynamic, resourceful and a need of hunger for sales.

I have the interest in HR field which I cannot denied that I can learn alot of stuff through becoming a recruitment consultant but the constraint I'm having now is whether do I have enough passion to fulfill the following stress, aggressive, dynamic, resourceful and a need of hunger for sales.

I'm a person that do not like double job, I will work only if I had decided and I will go all the way for it. Therefore I need to really think through carefully as I don't see a point of me stepping in and end up wasting time which I think it's also been fair to me and the company.

I told him the constraint that I'm having while I was trying to apply for HR field and I'm still waiting for replies. After knowning my situation, he suggest that I should send an email to his company and note in the email that I was recommended by him. Although there's no guarantee that I'll get the job but still I think his action is kinda sweet and I really appreciate it. Once again, thanks Randon. *smiles*

I had revamp my friend's test and now again it's open for the public. Like I had stated in blog, Reward will be given to those who managed to score 100 on the FIRST attempt. So if you think you are up to the challenge and know me VERY well, do try out the test and have fun. *smiles*

Yesterday I met up with my mum at evening time to visit my granny. We had dinner at my granny's house. Though the meal was simple but the feeling was nice. *smiles* We chit chat for awhile and she invite us to watch this "Gei Tai" in a temple which she often pray at nearby her block.

The Temple

So I was thinking, since I'm not in a rush to do anything, I told my granny that I'll go and stay around for awhile. Also make use of this chance to see what's the charm of "Gei Tai" as it seems to be one of the "in" thing in recent local movies.

Singer in Gei Tai (1)

I didn't took much picture cause as you can see, it's quite crowded and kinda smoking, well you know, it's a temple and people make offering, buring joss stick and stuff. I think when I was young, my parents did brought me to "Gei Tai" but yesterday was consider my first time stepping into a "Gei Tai" as a erm... grown up?

Singer in Gei Tai (2)

After awhile, granny had spotted some of her friends and I told her to enjoy the show with her friends, me and mum need to go. She say ok, wave goodbye and we headed back home. Overall, it was a nice experience, the atmosphere/feeling was great. So guys, next time don't spend money on watching expensive concert. Go and watch "Gei Tai". *smiles*

Interesting Quiz

Sunny Day
23rd of Septermber
Tuesday

While I was browsing through the net, I discover a few of these interesting online quiz. I had done the quiz and these are my results. Perhaps you guys should try it out and see if it's accurate *smiles*

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.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

In certain extend about the part about me that mention I'm more on career, success, relationship, commitment, well..., I think it's quite true but there is still room for improvement.

What's Sexy About Your Name

You are sexy because you are a challenge. You don't play hard to get... you are hard to get. You aren't very focused on love or sex. For you, career goals come first.

So while you are successful and attractive, you hardly ever notice who's pursuing you.You're wary about entering relationships... which just makes people want you more.

When you finally do decide to be with someone, you are deeply committed.

You work as hard on your relationship as you do anything else. Success is important to you.

What's Sexy About Your Name?

You aren't sure where you came from. Perhaps your sire did an embrace and run. Or maybe your sire was an outcast himself. Either way, your powers are unique and really don't belong to any clan...or maybe a little from each. Because you of these circumstances, you aren't really sure where you belong. You tend to wander and do a bit of soul searching in your eternal life. Maybe some day...you have a while after all.

What Vampire Clan Do You Belong To?

All these quiz are only for your references to let you have a rough idea on what type of a person you are, so try not to show much concern or been bothered but the results. Basically just take the quiz and have fun. *smiles*

Anubis

Clever, fatalist, deep. Sympathetic, generous, loving and perseverant in proving their view point.

Color: Sienna
Compatible Signs: Bastet, Isis
Dates: May 8 - May 27, Jun 29 - Jul 13

Role: God of death and mummification
Appearance: Jackal or a jackal-headed man
Sacred animals: Jackal

Things are happening to one of my friend(I shall not mention the name) who I think she is nice, helpful, friendly, basically a person that I treat as my big sister and now, she is been bullied some brainless jackass using words of poison and that DISTURB me as well.

I don't understand why some people don't process the words through their brains before they speak. Probably they don't even have one or they are using their ass to think? Words can be pretty harmful specially when you are giving people names which I think it's kinda rude and unfair to the victims.

So people, know where you stand. If you think it's funny giving people names/nick well think again and now I'm telling you it ain't funny AT ALL. Be considerate and also know the limitation, do not go over broad. Lastly to my friend, no worries, we'll all standby you. You'll have my support. *thumbs up*

I'm working as a part time for my friend who works under a event company. I had been working for him in a couple of events and every event is interesting. *smiles* This time round I decided to blog what I did in the event. I met up with Michael for breakfast and together after breakfast we head to PSA for the event.

PSA (1)

PSA (2)

Basically my job is to enter the vessel(which you can see in the picture) to guide the SP(Singapore Polytechnic) student to enter and to leave the vessel safely. I must say it's pretty interesting, I mean other then boarding a cruise ship(which I never board/try before aka vessel virgin) or you work dealing with vessel, there's no way for me to hang around in such a cool vessel.

PSA vessel (1)

PSA vessel (2)

Today is also the opening ceremony of this new vessel known as "Sui An Rickmers". Once the arrival of the SP student, first they had to go through a briefing, after that it's our job to guide them along the way.

There's a total of 3 of us and we were known as the vessel co-ordinator. While the student were asking question and stuff, I took the chance to take a few shot from the control room using my handphone.

After the control room, they were guide to the engine room which again I think it's pretty cool. The heat in the engine room is pretty warm and I must say I have to respect the staff working/maintaining the engine room. *salute*

I also took the chance to take a few shoot on the vessel and helmet must be wear at all times when you enter the vessel. Safety is very important. End of the day I grab Michael to take photo with me along with our messy hair. *grinz*

So this is part of event that I work. Like I was saying, every event is interesting as I get to see/handle different people. Although some of the event it's pretty tough like today we had to wear helmet when it's really warm or we have to station under the sun to keep things going but overall, the job itself is never stagnant which makes it fun. *smiles*

Yesterday, I attended SRO gathering at a pub somewhere near Outram Park MRT station. Once again for those who are new to my blog, SRO = Silkroad Online. The link can also be found in my blog under "My Favourite Link". I had been playing SRO for several years and eventually, I join a guild named "Prodigy" and union were formed. Anyway this is the second time I had attended such gathering/outing which I think it's pretty cool. *smiles*

DUE TO SOME DISTURBANCE, SOME PHOTO HAD BEEN REMOVED!

Compare to the last gathering, this time round the gamers that had attended is pretty small. I guess most of them were busy but on the other hand, it also makes it easier to handle cause if the group is too big like the last gathering, it's kinda difficult to move around and it's also very confusing as in who is who. The fun part is instead of calling out by names, we call each other by nicks reason because we don't really know each other real name as well. *grinz*

DUE TO SOME DISTURBANCE, SOME PHOTO HAD BEEN REMOVED!

Me Playing Pool With VD And He Is Good

It's a nice pub with cosy atmosphere, we get to play pool, sing, drink and the staff were nice and friendly as well. The gamers that attended the gathering were Takoo, Evil_Doll, Belano, Shupie, Crazynemo, Power, VooDoo, Violetpill, Desert, Sup & Me(oOSunOo). For those nicks that I left out, I'm really sorry that I can't remember your nick. Do leave me a tag if you want your nick to be post, thanks.

I think I must compliment Power's voice. The way he sing is really Power! As for me, I did entertain a bit by singing 2 songs although it wasn't that erm... good, but I guess it's still "listenable". *monkey grinz*

I think I only drank like 4-5 mugs. Well, it was fun in the end and certainly will be looking forward to the next SRO gathering. *smiles*

It's already been a year since I came back from Cambodia and I still remember how much fun I had celebrating the Mooncake Festival during my attachment. For those new reader, you may not know/seen my entries about the days I enjoy during my attachment in Cambodia but fear not. If you are interested/curious to find out, you can still click on the archives on September 2007 or you can simply click here

Hello Kitty

I remember I told my friends in Cambodia that when I was in Singapore, Mooncake Festival is just another normal days to me. We don't usually celebrate and the most we'll shop around for mooncake with nice design like the few I had posted or mooncake that taste good + combination of chinese tea and eat it at home while watching tv.

Winnie The Pooh

Mickey Mouse

Astro Boy

So if you are reading my archives, you'll see a big difference in the ways of celebration, mood, atmosphere and feeling. Takoo, my guild master msn me a few days ago informing me that Friday there will be a union gathering but I forget to ask if it's this coming Friday or next Friday *grinz* Well be it it's this coming Friday or next Friday, be sure I shower you guys with some nice and decent pictures. *smiles*

100th Days

2008-09-14T17:07:00.004+08:00

Cloudy Day
14th of Septermber
Sunday

Today is the 100th days of my granny departing us and on her way to heaven/reincarnation. A ceremony was conducted/prepared for her to ensure/bless my granny a smooth journey to heaven/reincarnation. The ceremony starts at 8.30am and was conducted in a temple.

For the past few weeks, we had been busying preparing 20 boxes and 60 bags of "Gold" for her which took us about 1 week to complete. And once again, today is also the day where it bring us all together as ONE family. The whole ceremony took about 8 hours. Though it was a bit tiring but for the sake of our granny, I think it's worth it.

After today ceremony, I'm not sure when will we still have the chance to gather together as one. Well..., I certainly hope that in the coming future, we'll still have lots of chances to gather to celebrate happy occasion and not just end today.

No Insurance

Cloudy Day
12th of Septermber
Friday

Today is Friday~ Weekend is coming! Yeah! I'm suppose to be happy but I'm not cause I'm neither working nor studying. It doesn't bother or even make a difference to me. Everyday to me is the same. After sending my resume for almost a month, finally I receive phone call from various companies inviting me to work but MOST of them are from insurance companies.

At first I'm still ok with call from the insurance company but the no. of phone call from different insurance companies increases like 3 - 4 times per day and it starts to annoy me. Through their calling and stuff, I learn that they will try all means and ways just to get you down to listen and attend their first round of interview.

I had also learn a couple of "new" position offer by the insurance companies. In the past, the job title is known as Insurance Agent. Now they can come out with names like Financial Planner, Training Officer, Client Relation Executive, Credit Executive etc. Well to me, end of the day, no matter what job title you belong to, you still sell insurance.

Therefore, each time there is a job offer, I always be careful and had to ask them, "Are you from the insurance company?" I guess this is what they call, "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", cause for once I didn't even thought it was from the insurance company and I was sort of been "con"vice to travel all the way to Bouna Vista and I stayed in Punggol21, just imagine the time and effort... or perhaps I got the looks for been an agent? That's why they keep calling me? Well... *shrug*

BTT Passed!

I woke up quite early today like 6.30am in the morning to get ready for my BTT(Basic Theory Test). The test starts at 9.15am but I had also book a TTT(Trial Theory Test) at 8.15am to... well you know, just in case to back me up so that I can still practise to refresh my memories. I'm pretty glad that my effort pays off and I PASSED! *jumpz* Woohoo~

PASS!

Suppose to meet up with my friend for lunch but she text me saying she is down with flu and wasn't feeling well so end up the lunch was cancel but still, take care man! Hope you'll recover soon and lots of more water~ *smiles*

Now I'm heading towards my FTT(Final Theory Test) and as for my driving lesson, sad to say, for the time being, I couldn't afford to pay for it but I'm gonna find a way soon to get/squeeze/earn money so that I can carry on with the booking of my driving lesson to hit the goal of getting my license by Jun 2009.

WALL•E

2008-09-07T21:29:00.004+08:00

Cloudy Day
7th of Septermber
Sunday

WALL•E (1)

What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? Academy Award-winning writer-director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo) and the inventive storytellers and technical geniuses at Pixar Animation Studios (The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille) transport moviegoers to a galaxy not so very far away for a new computer-animated cosmic comedy about a determined robot named WALL•E.

WALL•E (2)

WALL•E (3)

After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL•E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL•E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home).

WALL•E (4)

WALL•E (5)

Meanwhile, WALL•E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen. Joining WALL•E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach (Which I HATED the most), and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.

WALL•E is a movie that is filled with surprises, action and humor. I must say it's very entertaining and it's most suitable for a family specially those with kids, I believe they will love the show.

Other then checking my email everyday, sending out resume and waiting for reply, I also went to SSDC(Singapore Safety Driving Centre) website to book for TTT(Trial Theory Test) for the preparation for my BTT (Basic Theory Test) which is next Tuesday on the 9th of Sep. After doing the trial question over and over again, I'm pretty sure and confident that passing my BTT shoudn't be a problem.

My Mum & Me

Yesterday my family and I went to attend a wedding dinner and before setting off, we decided to sit down and take a family shoot. I show my presences at the wedding for an hour or so but had to leave for Michael's Chalet celebrating her daughter 1st Birthday party.

My Younger Sis, Mum, Youngest Sis & Me

I forget to bring my camera and I felt a bit wasted for not been able to take a few shots for you guys but anyway, we did a bit of confession and constraints of the problem that we are currently facing and each of us try to give and exchange solution so it's kinda like a brainstorming session. Well, this is life afterall, be it we like it a not, we all have to learn how to survive.

Must See Tuesday

2008-09-02T21:54:00.004+08:00

Rainy Day
2nd of September
Tuesday

Raining season may appear to be a bad day for most but for me, I simply LOVE the rain and I enjoy it pretty much. At least for the time being I could escape from the unbearable hot weather and enjoy the cooling weather. Anyway, while testing out the martket at the same time looking for job, though most of the time I'm feeling stress specially when I send out my resume and only a few reply, I still try to keep myself cool, relax and enjoy. All I can say is, although things are moving pretty slow for me but still, so far so good.

"Must See Tuesday" is the slogan from channel 5 and it's also one of the method that I used to keep myself relax. Surprisely, for the first time, I agree with the slogan and I enjoy watching channel 5 comedy series~ Which is pretty rare and that's why I feel these two local comedy series should be complimented.

Calefare (Every Tuesday 8pm @ channel 5)

There is truly no such word in the dictionary. Pronounced as "care-lair-fare", the term refers to bit-role actors, or extras in the entertaiment industry in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. No one can really agree on how to spell the colloquialism, some spell it as "Callafair", some spell it as "Cair-lair-Fare". Since the producers decided to spell it as "Calefare", we are sticking with it.

"Calefare" it's about five misfits pursuing their dreams of fame, fortune and glamour in Singapore's television industry as... Calefare - Actors. With small parts. Unfortunately, they've never quite made it: Andy Lau Hong has been a Calefare for 15 years and his biggest role to date is Prisoner #5. Joleen Wee is an aspiring singer who can't ... sing. Sanjay Chabra, a background veteran of 600 films fled Bollywood after his last film caused riots in the cinemas. Only Kak Pon and Hamsome seem to be doing this for the sake of doing it: Kak Pon does this in her spare time to catch first-hand gossip on the stars, Hamsome to escape involvement in the family business - loan-sharking.

First Class (Every Tuesday 8.30pm @ channel 5)

In Achiever Secondary School, a new teacher fresh from NIE arrives for his first day of school, his mind filled with thoughts of sweet young kids who are willing to learn and altruistic dedicated teachers eager to teach. He later finds that his dream job has some nightmare moments, the kids are not so easy to lovingly nurture and the teachers he loved and respected are somewhat lacking when he has to work alongside them.

Also, a group of new Secondary 1 students become friends, learning through school activities and classes about growing up and the meaning of true friendship, and sometimes even learn something academic, if they're lucky.

Though certain scene, conversation, act in these two local comedy series may be lame but these are stuff that makes people laugh and trust me guys, you'll love it~

Jack Of All Trades

Cloudy Day
29th of August
Friday

Seriously I'm pretty lost right now cause the diploma that I study is quite broad. We study modules like Supply Chain, Accounting, Process Improvement, Psychology, Business Fundamental, Customer Relationship Management and many more. Well in certainly way it may sounds cool but unlike any other courses, we do not have a fix post. We are just like "Jack Of All Trades But Master Of None".

As a result, there is difficulties when finding job is concern. While waiting for my transcript/result slip which will be out pretty soon hopefully by 7th of Sep, I had been sending my resume to a couple of companies and I had been trying on job post like Human Resource. So far the respone wasn't that good.

It's been 2 weeks, everyday I check my email, hoping that some companies with decent job position will reply me but all I get was job that were either temp position or some finance planner post. For the past 2 weeks through applying jobs, it also makes me realize that a diploma is just not enough. At least a degree if I intend secure my job, prospect and future.

Well, I certainly hope I can find a decent job post with good prospect. Worst to worst case, I'll have to work for my internship company that I was attached to when I was studying in polytechnic. Now I need all the chance, oppotunities and luck~

Korean Movie Fate

2008-08-26T22:55:00.004+08:00

Cloudy Day
26th of August
Tuesday

Today I met up with Wenwui who had finally finish his last paper and also congratulation to those who are taking their last paper today. At last you are like us, free and waiting to graduate. We meet up for a game of pool cause I do remember how badly I was trashed by Wenwui when I was sick, and now that I had recover, I shall have my revenge! We also went for a movie, I mean since it's still early, we decided to catch a korean movie, "Fate".

Fate (1)

In the dark criminal world of Seoul, U-min (Song), Cheol-jung (Kwon), Do-wan (Kim In-kwon) and Yeong-hwan (Ji Sung) are close friends in a gang. One day, with the help of an older member Gang-seop (Ahn Nae-seong), U-min, Cheol-jung and Do-wan attack the gang's casino so they can start new lives. But their plan goes awry when Cheol-jung betrays them, and U-min goes to prison. He becomes the scapegoat to save his friends' lives.

Fate (2)

After serving his time, U-min wants to stay out of trouble but is drawn back into the underworld when he sees what has become of his friends: money and power-hungry Cheol-jung continues to betray others as he climbs up the gang ladder; Do-wan is a drug user; Gang-seop is missing; and his girlfriend Eun-yeong (Park Han-byul) has left him to run a bar as the boss' mistress.

Fate (3)

As U-min tries to solve the situation, however, unfortunate twists of fate set off one misunderstanding after another. To make matters worse, the mob boss and right-hand man Yoeng-hwan get them involved in a huge drug deal. Once again thrown into a game with high stakes and big cash, the once best friends must fight one another for their lives.

Fate (4)

For girls I think you'll love this movie as you can see all the hunks and stuff as for guys, well if you belong to those "Gu Huo Zhai" type then probably you too will like this movie as there's lots of fighting scene.

Fate (5)

As for me, Although this is not my type of movie but I still find that this movie is "watchable" but not worth spending on weekends. Weekdays perhaps.

Yesterday I meet up with Alvin, Janvion, JJ & Ben for clubbing at Zouk. We were the early bird, reached there at around 8.30pm. As usual we need to que to go in but this time we used our citibank credit for free entry.

Zouk (1)

So basically our only spending is on drinks and on cab. On drinks I spend $25, on cab I spend $22.80. To round off, $50 just gone like that. Yesterday night was not bad. The music was good, the babes were there.

Janvion, Alvin, JJ & Ben

Ben, Me, Alvin & JJ

In Year 2006, I came down to Zouk with my poly friends and also the first time drinking "Lambourghini". 2 years later, which is yesterday, We came down again for "Lambourghini" but this time, it's 4 of us drinking.

"Lambourghini"

Procedure of drinking "Lambourghini"

1) Cup of alcohol is been blow with flame.

2) Fear must be cast away as you can see pool of flame burning on top of the alcohol.

3) Use straw to drink up.

4) As you were about to finish up, the crew will pour down a cup of milk to put down the flame.

5) Finally you drink up the alcohol together with the milk.

Alvin drinking "Lambourghini"

Me drinking "Lambourghini"

JJ drinking "Lambourghini"

Ben drinking "Lambourghini"

During the 3 years in poly, we may have seen each other almost everyday but after we graduate, all of us will have our own plans and might not have the chance or time to gathered so that's the reason why I went to Zouk because I felt that this may be our last gathering.

Zouk (2)

End of the day, I still do not understand why people like to gather at places like Zouk. I mean what's the point? You drink, you dance, you rub people, people rub you, pay for expensive cab, get back home feeling dizzy and stuff.

Zouk (3)

I had thought of a couple of reason.

1) They were too stress up and needed a break?
2) They enjoy the rubbing?
3) They enjoy to get drunk?
4) They are too rich, no where else to spend their money?
5) They are too free?

Or perhaps I'm just getting old and my concept can't link with the people nowadays. Well beats me~ *shrug*

I'm feel much better now. Last night, my coughing wasn't that bad. At least I could sleep without any interruption. It's been a long time since the last happy occasion occur and now on my father side, an arrival of a new born member.

Huiyun (1)

Today it's the 1st month of my new born cousin. Finally a baby daugther for my uncle. Her name is Huiyun and I must say it's a very nice name. Soft and elegant.

Huiyun (2)

Huiyun (3)

My granny's house is pack with my relative and my uncle's friends but they are so important as today the main character is not them but the new born Huiyun. She is the star of the day. Everyone que just to carry her and to take pictures with her.

Mum & Huiyun

Although I didn't had the chance to carry my new born cousin but at least I manage to take a few shots of my mum and sister carrying her.

Sis, Mum & Huiyun

Me & Sis

A new life has been brought to this world. To my new born cousin Huiyun:, "Welcome to the world and welcome to our big family. Be Healthy, Be Happy and may you in the coming future live your life to the fullest."

I couldn't sleep well for the past few days due to my cough. It's getting annoying. In the middle of the night I'll just wake up and cough. It really irritates me! I had some self medication and it doesn't seems to work. I'll give it another shot tonight and if I still cough like hell, I'll go consult a doctor tomorrow morning. Anyway despite of feeling tired, I still had to meet up with friends to attend the Career Fair held at Suntec.

Look At The Queue (1)

I'm suppose to meet them at 9am at City Hall but end up been 15 minutes late. Although I'm late but at least I'm still not the "latest", still had to wait for the rest. The Career Fair starts at 10am. We reached the Suntec Exhibition Hall at around 9.50am and people were already in the queue.

Look At The Queue (2)

I notice that most of the people who came for the Career Fair are foreign workers. While waiting, we discuss among ourselves and mark out the types of companies and job scope we are interested in.

Look At The Queue (3)

I think we queue for around half an hour and we finally get to enter the Career Fair. As you can see, there seems to have a lot of companies trying to recruit workforce but none of them is ideal for me, not because I'm choosy or picky but there is no ideal job position for my qualification.

Career Fair (1)

Career Fair (2)

Most of them are there to hire us as a Finance Planner which I don't think I am interested in, if not will be sign on with Air Force, Navy, Army etc. We took 2 hours to complete the tour.

Career Fair (3)

Seriously I think this Career Fair to me is a waste of time. I mean I expected more job position. End up, we decided to lunch at Carl's Jr. We order the combo meal which cost somewhere around $11.20 - $11.80. *huge sigh* Haven't found a job yet we are already spending money.

Today I went back to school to re-submit my cover letter cause my my lecturer claim that my cover letter could not be found, Well anyway, after submitting the cover letter, I went to meet up with Wenwui for lunch at Ang Mo Kio Central and we also had a game of pool.

Usually I'm the one that rulez the table BUT "maybe" because I'm sick, still in the process of recovering give Wenwui a chance to trash me. *monkey pout*

During lunch, we did gossip a bit *grinz* and also discuss about finding job issue but the problem is until now, I'm quite lost cause I still have no idea on what I wanted to work as. So during the discussion I ask myself what I'm good at?

Personally I think I can speak well, I have lots of theories, I'm good at dealing with people, I love talking to people aka chatty and I blend in easily. So end of the day, I conclude that I should go for something like HR Manager or Consultant.

Now comes another question, what should I start to work as in order to become a HR Manager or been a Consultant? Perhaps this few days I should go and do some research before the Career Fair hits me this coming Saturday. *grinz*

Devil May Cry 4

Recently I had been quite addictive to this game known as "Devil May Cry 4". Devil May Cry 4, the latest chapter in the series and the first true sequel in the Devil May Cry chronology maintains all of these trademarks.

Dante (1)

Let me start with some introduction about DMC 4. Long ago the Dark Knight Sparda rebelled against the dark emperor and waged a one-man war to save humanity. Thousands of years later, a religious organization worships this renowned savior and has taken it upon themselves to rid the world of all evil. Residing in Fortuna, this organization is known as the "Order of the Sword," and is made up of an elite group of "Holy Knights."

Dante (2)

One day a young knight named Nero witnesses Sparda’s legendary son Dante slaughter his fellow warriors. Has the renowned devil hunter turned his back on mankind? What does this encounter mean for these two individuals?

Dante (3)

In DMC 4, players control the formidable Nero who comes to grips with his newly found power as his beliefs and allegiance are tested. Continuing the legacy of fast paced action synonymous with the series, Devil May Cry 4 pushes the envelope of excellence even further with the inclusion of a new combat system that incorporates Nero’s "Devil Bringer."

Nero (1)

Nero & Dante

This new feature has players delivering overwhelming damage to enemies with non-stop combos, while gaining new power for Nero’s right arm. With the PlayStation 3 system's advanced graphical capabilities, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales.

Nero (2)

Amazing visual effects and dynamic action coupled with a complex storyline, provides the very cool, slick and stylish attitude that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver.

Despite of been sick, I still meet up with Winson my secondary school friends aka buddy for a football game. It's been awhile since I last played street soccer and although I had been jogging but playing soccer is different. It draws out your energy faster as you always need to sprint plus the hot weather... It's horrible.

As for jogging, the energy that I used is constant which allows me to control. OR perhaps I'm really getting old. Can't run anymore... *frown* During the game I can't believe that I drank a full 1.5 litre of water + small bottle of 100plus. By the time I reached home, I was really exhausted + hot + hungry + even more sick.

Now I'm suffering from headache, sore throat and cough. Out of the 3 I hated the cough cause it's very irritating specially when I was trying to sleep and it just keeps coughing. *pout*

The Mummy 3 (1)

The blockbuster global Mummy franchise takes a spellbinding turn as the action shifts to Asia for the next chapter in the adventure series, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Brendan Fraser returns as explorer Rick O'Connell to combat the resurrected Han Emperor (Jet Li) in an epic that races from the catacombs of ancient China high into the frigid Himalayas. Rick is joined in this all-new adventure by son Alex (newcomer Luke Ford), wife Evelyn (Maria Bello) and her brother, Jonathan (John Hannah).

The Mummy 3 (2)

And this time, the O'Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service. Doomed by a double-crossing sorceress (Michelle Yeoh) to spend eternity in suspended animation, China's ruthless Dragon Emperor and his 10,000 warriors have laid forgotten for eons, entombed in clay as a vast, silent terra cotta army. But when dashing adventurer Alex O'Connell is tricked into awakening the ruler from eternal slumber, the reckless young archaeologist must seek the help of the only people who know more than he does about taking down the undead: his parents.

The Mummy 3 (3)

As the monarch roars back to life, our heroes find his quest for world domination has only intensified over the millennia. Striding the Far East with unimaginable supernatural powers, the Emperor Mummy will rouse his legion as an unstoppable, otherworldly force...unless the O'Connells can stop him first. Now, in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, the trademark thrills and visually spectacular action of the Mummy series will be redefined for a new generation.

The Mummy 3 (4)

Personally I think it's still ok, probably a 3 star out of 5 but it's still worth watching on weekends if you are watching with a bunch of friends cause end of the movie, I bet you guys sure have stuff to talk about.

Yesterday I'm suppose to meet up in school with a few of my group mate at 2pm for the discussion of the BSI project/presentation but end up the meeting was cancel but Fortunately, APEL class is conducted for the last time at 4pm so it wasn't that bad as in at least my trip is not wasted.

Fries

After the APEL, I went out with the usual kakis for dinner and a game of pool. I think recently I had been spending too much on food. It's time to cut down as to me, food is just a necessity not a luxury.

Dumpling

Anyway I went to this cafe and this desert actually caught my attention. Well although the name of the desert wasn't special or unique but at least I think it's strange enough to caught my attention. Seriously I do not know why the cafe name the desert as "Wo Chong San Zhong Lai" and if it's direct translation it simply means "I come from mountain". It simply doesn't link.

Soon we'll all be graduating, meaning to say my days in poly is going to end pretty soon. It's time for me to start enjoying the life in school while I still can.

Just I thought I'm going to be rotting at home today, ys called me to join him together with vp for dinner at Hougang Plaza for sushi. It wasn't my first time to Hougang Plaza but it's my first time "realizing" that the place I been was actually known as Hougang Plaza. *grinz*

Sushi (1)

Sushi (2)

We order a couple of dishes. Overall the food is still ok. We went for a buffet and the 3 of us paid for student price which cost us around $20. It was nice meeting up with Ys & Vp again.

I always believe in "Friends are found not made" and I'm pretty glad that through gaming, I had find myself a couple of friends like ys, vp, takoo, evil_doll, ahsiao, bel, power, daihong and the list goes on.

Vp & Ys

I'm certainly looking forward to the guild outing where I can see all my gaming friends again. Well you know talk about life, chit-chat, gossip and stuff. Once again thank you ys for driving me home. *smiles*

Red Cliff

Red Cliff, a tiny little place at the approximately center point of the Long River (Yangtze River) of China, has never been a city, a town or a village. It is so small that even today, historians are still debating about the exact location of the cliff. Even though, Red Cliff has become very famous nowadays, only because there was a battle, in gigantic scale, occurred at the place exact 1800 years ago.

Takeshi Kaneshiro as Zhuge Liang

On the river, the alliance of two southern warlords, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, defeated the much stronger northern warlord Cao Cao. By the end of the battle, Cao’s might fleet was burned to ashes and his land-based troops were completely crashed. Soon after, the mighty Han Empire collapsed and three kingdoms were established by Cao’s oldest son, Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Red Cliff (1)

Most people know about the battle because of a well-written and not very historically accurate novel Romance of Three Kingdoms. The novel has become very popular ever since it was published in the 14th century and has been the basis for countless opera plays, movies, TV series, comic books and even video games.

Zhang Fengyi as Cao Cao

Probably because the size and the complexity of it, Battle of Red Cliff had never been featured on the big screen until John Woo decided to do it, if my memory is correct. Red Cliff is been cut into two episodes when released in east part of Asia. Judging from Episode I, John Woo’s Red Cliff is much closer to the novel than the history and it also contains plots, which are neither based on the history nor found in the novel.

Red Cliff (2)

Lin Chiling as Xiao Qiao

Red Cliff (3)

Overall it's worth spending $8.50 if you are watching on weekends. Everything is almost perfect and surprisingly we get to see all the violence scene BUT the hot scene between Tony Leung and Lin Chiling was been censored/cut. Which doesn't make sense to me. Well anyway that is what you get in Singapore.

Hated the end part of my hair.

The more I look at my hair color, the more I feel uncomfortable. It's like no "3 no 4". One of these days I will dye my hair to all black. Lots of submission today. I need to submit my portfolio, cover letter, resume & supply chain project. Basically today we all went school just to submit all the stuff that I had mention and after that, I went out with Ben, Janvion, Leon & Alvin for "High Tea"(sounds like we were tai tai) at 126.

Let's See What I Eat Today

126

It should pronouce as "Wen Dao Shi" but in cantonese, it's pronouce as "Wan Dou Sei". So to make things easier, We decided to call it as 126.

Food We Order (1)

Food We Order (2)

The taste of the food/dim sum we order is not bad. At least through my "golden tongue", it's all under the pass grade except for a few dishes that I find it quite normal or perhaps I do not know how to appreciate it.

Food We Order (3)

Food We Order (4)

Total of the food/dim sum we order cost us $85. So after dividing to 5, each of us had to fork out $17. Well there goes my 17 bucks... After our "High Tea", Ben drove us to Serangoon MRT station.

Food We Order (5)

For the next 2 days, I'll need to study for my last quiz which is the supply chain which cover chapter 5 and 6. After the quiz, there's nothing much to do except for the preperation for the project interview and presentation.

Circle

Circle is a symbol, it's a shape or perhaps a term. Often we can see or use in our daily life. Why am I so fascinated about circle? Reason because I simply find it unique and special. Don't you think? Disagree with me? Hm... very well then. Allow me to share my theory of circles with you.

Circle

What's is the most popular, common and favourite sports in the world? Bowling? Soccer? Basketball? Netball? Water Polo? Tennis? Golf? Ice Hockey? and the list goes on. What made them common? Well from what I see, they were all made up of round cirle. People from all around the world are crazy about them.

That's for sport. Plates, table or even chair were prefer to be form in the shape of round/circle when compare to other shape. What about the most popular food? Burgers perhaps? Wedding Ring uses circle to shown eternal love. A process, cycle uses circle as well. E.g Cloud-Rain-Sea-Water evaporates and it goes back to form cloud again.

Making Circle

During discussion if you are standing with a bunch of friends, you'll still end up standing in circles. You can even use term like maybe "Circle of Trust" which is the circle that we drew to gauge the number of people that is within your trust or "Cirle of Protection" gauge how big is your range of the people you wanted to protect. It's up to you on how you use circle in your daily life. Now do you agree with me that circle is unique and special now?

A few days ago, I was browsing through my friend's friendster, I happen to saw this article which I find it very interesting. So here I am sharing you guys about scissors, paper, rock.

Scissors, Paper, Rock

"I understand how scissors can beat paper, and I get how a rock can beat scissors, but there's no fucking way paper can beat rock. is paper supposed to magically wrap around rock and leave it immobile? why the hell can't paper do the same to scissors? screw scissors! Why can't paper do this to people? why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they takes notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody. A rock would tear the shit up in 2 seconds. When I play scissors, paper stone, I always choose rock. then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, oh shit, i'm sorry, i thought paper would protect you, you asshole!"

It was funny though but I had one question. I thought it's suppose to be scissors, paper, stone instead of rock? I asked my friend this question and she told me, maybe different countries have different term for it. So next time when someone beaten you with paper you know what to do. *monkey grinz*

Preparation For Judging

Today is our judging day. Each group have to present the things/improvement they had made/done during their attachment to their various company in powerpoint form. The purpose of this judging is to convince the judges that we deserve the grade that our MP(Major Project) supervisor had given us.

My Team(Janvion, Me & Alvin)

I think our team did pretty well for the judging as we had met our objectives, we had made improvement, shown were result and we understand our project. Overall, we are quite pleased with the outcome.

Me with the other MP group members.

I finally fulfill my dreams as a doctor. I happen to see my friend in lab and decided to borrow this lab coat from him. Well you guys can call me doctor-wanna-me or whatever name that makes you happy but I don't care~ Now everyone, call me Dr Xie! *laugh*

After the presentation, as usual, photo taking session with the kakis. I thought my camera battery is enough for me to last the whole day but I didn't expect it went flat half way through.

Wenwui & Me

Classmates

Featuring Rare/Special Guest Ronghui On The Left

End of the day, Yu Kok told me that I rank no.6 in the director list! But sadly I won't be able to get any of the award as director list will only be given for the top 5. Man how I wish one of the top 5 fail their module so that I can squeeze into the top 5. Nah just kidding~ I think the top 5 deserve the award as I believe they work harder/smarter then me. *smiles*

After the party and all... I am now officially 27 and yet still achieve nothing... sad isn't it? Although I'll be graduating soon with a diploma but still, it's just a pathetic diploma. No job, no income, no car... financially I am not stable. Although I had been working hard. Climbing from Normal Tech, ITE to Poly but I felt I'm not working hard enough. I'm lacking way behind.

Some may see this process as an achivement but to me I just find it pathetic. Now I even fear of having a girlfriend. I mean what can I offer her? At 27 I still achieve nothing. What more can she expect from me?

I told you guys I'll get my car license by the end of 2008 but looks like I had to postpone it to 2009. By hook or by crook I must get my car license by 2009 and by 2010, I'll buy a car. This is a promise I made to myself and I will get it at all cost! Sometimes I wonder whether am I pushing myself too hard? Or am I been too slack...

Anyway I just register myself to nuffnang. Now I'm trying this service out. Do give me support by visiting my blog regularly so that I can obtain at least 20 unique per day. Thanks in advance guys~

This incident happen on the 4th of July which was yesterday night but I guess I drank too much and end up in bed straight after I took my shower. So posting was delayed. It was a day well remembered.

I'll be using their name or rather nick to identify them which includes me as well so that others can recongize me. *hee*

It was really tiring cause Ben and I was rushing for case study yesterday night which we are going to present this morning. We manage to finish the case study with the powerpoint and for the presentation it went quite well today. Just as the lesson ends, one of my classmate, Farhana pass me a present and wishing me happy birthday. I was surprise.

Present (1)

I felt that it's kind of sweet of her. I appreciate it and I'm touched. At the same time, I felt gulity. At times friends, classmate buy present for me but I tend to take things for granted because I neglect their birthday. For that I sincerely apologized. I promise from today onwards, I will remember those who had treat me well.

Present (2)

Of course not forgeting the rest of the kakis like Yu Kok, Wenwui, JJ, Leon. Thanks guys for your treats. Seriously it's the thought that counts. Even if it's just an sms, I too will appreciate it. Once again, thank you Farhana. *hugz*

I really can't picture myself facing the public having that kinda extreme colour. This morning I woke up early, book appointment with my hair stylist and decide to reduce the colour as much as possible. I cut, dye and do a spa treatment as yesterday I had just dye my hair and today I re-dye again. If I do not go for a spa treatment, it would damage my hair. At least by doing the treatment, it would reduce the damage but it's quite costly as well. *broke*

Hair Treatment/Spa

I do not know why but bad stuff starts happening to me. First my air-con spoil, follow by my eye is swollen, I got myself an extreme colour and today although I manage to fix my hair color but I forget to bring my WALLET~ *shake his head* Man~ lucky I'm a regular customer and they trust me that I would return to pay up, if not I seriously do not know what to do. *frown* Whatever it is, I hope this bad luck thing will end soon.

Testing View (1)

Today it's suppose to be a advance celebration for JJ, Alvin and me as we were the July babies. Birthday suppose to be a happy occasion but as you grow older, well you'll still feel happy but at the same time you'll feel irritating as well~

Rest Of Us In Top One (1)

After the KTV session, we headed to Shokudo for our dinner. It's my first time dinning at Shokudo and seriously I think there is much difference from a food court. I guess the only difference is that Food Court is mix with many other food variety and Shokodu concentrate mainly on japanese product.

My right eye had suffered from an infection and since yesterday it had been swollen. I bear the pain and went on meeting Yanwei, Kellyne and Fazlina to Hoyu. A group where they provide free color dye. We of course were consider their test subject. I'm so getting used to my hair stylist which usually I will tell my hair stylist to decide my hair color but end of the day, she must be able to cover my white hair. I trusted my hair stylist as she knows my limit of coloring.

Front View

But today, I forget she wasn't my hair stylist and I went saying the same thing. I trust you, just help me to cover my white hair. As you can see on the picture, this is the final outcome of the dye. Overall the effect was nice BUT to be frank, I was shock. This color is definately out of my limitation. To me this is something new and daring.

Back View

Perhaps it's due to my age and my conserative concept/thinking. I felt kinda disturb and as I walk around, I was like the center of attraction. Suprisely to my sister, they seems to like it. They say the color is nice and makes me look younger or am I really getting old? Turning to be 27 soon, in a few days time and base of this incident, it looks like my concept is really getting old.

Side View

It's a matter of time for me to get used to the color and anyway it's my fault that I assume the hoyu stylist to know my limitation. No matter what, if she happen to find out about my blog and happen to read this entry, I just wanna say you did a good job. The fading of color was nicely done and you really put in effort in it. Don't be discourage on what I had type just that I need time to get used to it. *smiles*

After the dye, I went on meeting up with Yu Kok and Wenwui and as usual they are "uncles" like me, our concept is the same. They also need time to get used to it. *laugh* Today I finally took the first step and I had book my basic theory.

Event (5)

There is I think more than 20 of us working in the event. Lots of guys and girls but I don't really take the initiative to talk to girls because I find it quite hard for me to just approach them and say something like hi...? Or maybe the things that I do are not related to them so it's kinda hard for me to start a topic.

Rest of us resting

One thing good about working event is, it's easy money and most importantly, I get to know alot of new friends cause there will be all sort of people working under event.

I'm back to school after the 2 weeks of term break. Lots of things happen during the 2 weeks term break which doesn't seems to be a break at all well anyway, because of that, I decided to catch the movie "Get Smart" with the usual kakis. Here's a little introduction about this movie.

Get Smart (1)

In the all-new action comedy Get Smart, Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne The Rock Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the only other agent whose identity has not been compromised: the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway).

Get Smart (2)

As Smart and 99 get closer to unraveling KAOS master planand each otherthey discover that key KAOS operative Siegfried (Terence Stamp) and his sidekick Shtarker (Kenneth Davitian) are scheming to cash in with their network of terror. Given little field experience and even less time, Smartarmed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasmmust defeat KAOS if he is to save the day.

Anne Jacqueline Hathaway (1)

The movie was great. Very funny, very hilarious but what caught my attention wasn't how funny the movie was plot but was Anne Jacqueline Hathaway. She is... oh man... I thought Jessica Alba is my dream girl but I guess today I had found myself a new dream girl~

Anne Jacqueline Hathaway (2)

Anne Jacqueline Hathaway (born November 12, 1982) is an American film and stage actress. Hathaway made her acting debut in the 1999 television series Get Real, but her first prominent role was in Disney's family comedy The Princess Diaries (2001), which established her career.

Anne Jacqueline Hathaway (3)

She continued to appear in Disney films in the next three years, and she had the lead roles in Ella Enchanted and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (both 2004). Hathaway took more creative control over her career in 2005 and co-starred in the adult-themed Havoc and Brokeback Mountain, both requiring extensive nude scenes, as well as The Devil Wears Prada (2006), in which she starred opposite Meryl Streep. That film has become the highest-grossing film of her career. Becoming Jane, in which she stars as Jane Austen, was released in 2007.

and Audrey Hepburn, and she cites Hepburn as her favorite actress and Streep as her idol. People magazine named her one of 2001's breakthrough stars and in 2006 she was listed as one of the world's 50 Most Beautiful People.

First of all, thanks guys for your support and condolences. Thanks all for the messages in the tagboard. Thanks for your smses. Thanks for those who came and attended my granny's funeral. Thanks those who came on Thursday to send my granny off. Thanks you guys once more and I seriously apperciate it. I really do.

Thursday was the day where my granny was cremated. Friday we went to collect her bones and had placed my granny in a very nice and peaceful temple. I think she should be pretty happy as she now got new neighbour and friends to chit chat with her. *smiles*

Although I understand that all living beings has an end but still can't help to miss my granny, still can't help to feel sad... Well now things are settle, everything is over... I guess it's time for us/me to move on...

As I recall..., mum woke up earlier in the morning sobbing that grandma is in critical condition. We need to rush down before it's too late. In a rush, we change our clothing and was waving for cab to the hospital. Along the way my mum was very unstable. Suddenly we receive a sms written "grandma heart beat had stop". My mum, she broke down instantly. Rain drop start to fall from the sky... It's drizzling... I realize that perhaps when someone leave the world, heaven will cry for us.

When we reached the ICU in Tan Tock Seng Hospital, my mum, she rushes to the room and break down into tears. Saying grandma must be angry with her that's why she leave us without waiting for her. When my grandma left..., only my uncle was with her. After my uncle had finished helping my grandma to clean up, her heart beat just drop in speed... It happen early in the morning and it was sudden... Everyone is in shock, grief and in pain.

It was a scene well remembered. We were all in pain... My grandma's maid even try to shake my grandma calling her to wake up. Calling her to open her eyes... Calling her to see us once more... We lost the ability to control tears... No words can describe the scene but only with tears.

We decided to hold a 5 days funeral for my grandma. Everytime I walk round and past her coffin, I couldn't help but to grief. Tears seems to be my best buddy now. We just celebrated her birthday and I even post it in blog and now she is gone... Farewell grandma... farewell...

Soul Eater

Maka Alban and Soul Eater

At a special school for training shinigami (death gods), partnerships develop between a weapon meister and a human weapon. One such pair is Maka and her partner Soul Eater, who is a scythe hoping to ascend to the power of a Death Scythe. Maka’s own sexually eccentric and wacky father is a death scythe himself. The way to ascend to the level of Death Scythe is for the human weapon to consume 99 evil souls and a witches soul. It is a very difficult process that Shinigami-sama warns can be messed up at the slightest error in numbers.

Black Star and Tsubaki Nakatsukasa

Meet the demon weapons master Black Star, and his weapon partner Tsubaki. Although you might not be able to tell by looking, Black Star is an assassin also training to create a Death Scythe worthy of a shinigami. Ironically, the fact that he's an assassin doesn’t stop him from being the loudest and most eccentric character so far, resulting in a grand total of zero souls consumed by poor Tsubaki.

Death the Kid and Patty/Liz Thompson

Shinigami-sama’s son and is OCD about things being perfectly symmetrical (also ironic because his hair is not symmetrical). Liz and Patty also are not symmetrical in human form, even though they are sisters, but transform into dual guns that Death uses.

3 Main Character in Soul Eater

Screenshot of Soul Eater (1)

Soul Eater primarily revolves around students known as meisters or technicians at the Shinigami Weapon Meister Vocational School, or Shibusen for short, located in Death City. The school is run by Shinigami, the God of Death himself, as a training facility for weapons created by shinigami and the human wielders of those weapons, the meisters.

Screenshot of Soul Eater (2)

Each meister has at least one demon weapon companion which has both a weapon and human form. Shinigami created the school as an organization that enforces peace in order to prevent the rebirth of the "kishin", evil demon gods that nearly destroyed everything by plunging the world into chaos.

Human souls that have become evil by straying from the path of humans have a high risk of becoming kishin, so evil humans are constantly being hunted down and killed by the students trained at Shibusen.

The ultimate goal of the students with their weapons is to have their weapons defeat and eat the souls of ninety-nine evil human souls and one witch's soul which will dramatically increase the power of the given weapon and thus be capable of being used by shinigami.

In order to ensure this is done in a timely manner, all students and weapons attend classes regularly and are given homework or supplementary lessons to further their training. The meisters have a rating system that goes from one to three stars which usually measures soul energy. It is important that the meister and weapon can tune their "soul frequency" to perform high level attacks and bring out the weapon's full power.

Review: Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Although the first three episodes that I’ve seen so far are all introductions to the main story of Soul Eater, it was obvious from the first 5 minutes that this show was not only going to be a great story, but such an original style as well. Their 51 episode contract says it all. This anime definitely has the potential to go far, even in American audiences. Soul Eater definitely has my vote for best of 2008. The only doubt in the back of my mind is "Can they keep this type of an action show fresh for 51+ episodes?"

My Window Destop

I often change my window desktop and for this time round, I decided to make my desktop a SOUL EATER. Cool isn't it? Well I also think so *monkey grinz*

WOOHOO! Finally clear my last term test paper~ For this paper I think I will definately do better then Business Strategy and Implementation. Okay~ Let's not talk about the paper anymore cause it's OVER! Time to P-A-R-T-Y!

First stop, my classmate and I went to eat buffet in "Japan Village" located at Kallang Leisure Park and the best part is we are just in time for the 2.30pm to 5.30pm student buffet! Cost us around $17.8 include gst and service charge.

We have a total of 8 person so end up we had to split into 2 different table. Along the way Junwen suddenly had the urge of taking pictures so he asked me to help him. Most of us think he look like a female singer "Pang Mei Chen". What do you think? *giggles*

Leon recommended this dishes to me known as the "Enoki Bacon" Bascially it's a combination of golden mushroom been wrap with a bacon and I TOTALLY fall in love with it! It's like perfect, heaven, delicious!

After the buffet, we decided to have a game of competition. We went to arcade and had a little basketball game. A competition between me, JJ and wenwui the 3 of us. And guess what? I am the winner Woohoo~!

Basketball Game (1)

Basketball Game (2)

JJ suggested to go ice skating and I totally agree with his idea, I mean for the past 2 years, after our paper we will go ktv or maybe a game of pool which is kinda boring. Finally something new for our last semester. *monkey grinz*

Ice Skating Ticket

It's been a super long time since I last ice skate but the feeling of skating is not bad. We were having fun. While Wenwui is trying to show us how good he can skate, accident happens and he fall hard on the ice floor. The ice floor has lots of blade cutting resulting in the ice surface to be uneven and causing Wenwui to suffer from a deep cut.

Ouch~

Perhaps today is weekday so it is not really that crowded. After skating for like 1 hour or so, I start to suffer from blister and my toes were aching. No choice I had to stop and rest. Painful!

Ahhhhhh today paper was a disaster!! It was terrible! I was so well prepared for the paper today. I even memorized chapter from 2 to 5. I put in effort but I screw up on one of the long question that cost me 24 marks!!! !@#$%

They change the term from marketing to business and that confused me. Most of my classmate answer's was different from mine so I assume I scew up on that 24 marks. As for the rest of the marks which left only 76 marks, I believe more or less there will be surely mistake so the probability of me getting 76 is quite low. Seriously I have no idea how much marks I'll be getting.

Although I won't fail the paper but the point is I am out to kill to score BUT I screw up! What the hell! So f**king piss right now. I mean I did study but why I can't score?! Why is there always loop hole along the way? Why can't thing just be smooth for me! *shaking his head* Yes yes..., I can grumble/complain/curse & swear all I want but end of the day... deep down... I knew it was my very own fault for not been able to fully understand.

I'm damn disappointed... So "hated" myself... One more paper on Wednesday. Supply Chain which I find it quite hard to understand. After been so piss off, I didn't even bother to study for Supply Chain. Once reached home, I just swtich on my tv, on my fan, and start to stare at the tv and into empty space. I have no mood today and that left only 1 day which is tomorrow for me to study Supply Chain. I guess today I'll just have a good rest..

I feel "changes" in me. A feeling of "force" within me that tells me I had grew stronger. I feel different each day as if something awaits me to accomplish. It is calling for me. Sometimes the feeling just rushes to my brain causing me to suffer insomnia, reason... perhaps I am too excited to fall alseep. I now tend to see things ahead and my mind will form a absolute picture of the result.

I try to contain this "force". I do not know why but something tells me that for the time being, I had to keep this "force" contain. This force is just like a hungry tiger waiting to unleash into the jungle and it is craving for food.

Strange isn't it? I am pretty curious myself too. I too wanted to find out the answer. Next week is the start of the term test. Only left us with 3 days to prepare. I shall make use of this "force" to see how it will benefit me... to see whether the feeling I am having is right... is true...

The Legend

The Legend

The story is based on the legend of Dangun and Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo. The story also adds mythical elements of the Four Symbols depicted in fantasy form as the four guardians who serve the king of Jyushin.

The White Tiger (The ruler of the West and the guardian of the winds)

A long time ago, a tribe that respected the tiger and controlled fire called the Ho-jok (Tiger Tribe), ruled the world. They eliminated and assimilated all tribes except the tribe that respected the bear, called the Ung-jok (Bear Tribe). The Tiger Tribe and the Bear Tribe fought, and Hwanung could not bear to see so many people getting killed. He brought the three gods of nature; The White Tiger, The Green Dragon and The Black Turtle-Snake.

The Green Dragon (The ruler of the East and the guardian of the clouds)

He removed the power of fire from the leader of the Tiger Tribe, Gajin, sealed the power into an artifact called the Heart of The Red Phoenix and gave it to the woman he loved; Se-o. However, Gajin was mortally wounded while attacking another tribe, and she seemed to die until Hwanung healed her.

Se-o

This thoroughly convinced Gajin to not make a grudge against Hwanung. When her tribe were revived to take back the power of fire, they didn't listen to Gajin and decided to attack the Bear Tribe. Gajin then slew her tribe's council with her own blade, and escapes from her own tribe and heads towards the Bear Tribe, deciding to become Hwanung's woman. However, Hwanung likes Se-o and declared his love for her, not knowing that Gajin was watching them secretly when this took place. Gajin was infuriated by this and began reforming the Tiger Tribe and attacked the Bear Tribe.

The Black Turtle-Snake (The ruler of the North and the guardian of the rain)

Unfortunately, this was the time when Se-o was pregnant, and when she had given birth, the baby was kidnapped by Gajin who offered Se-o a deal to trade her baby for the power of fire. When Se-o refuses Gajin, Gajin responds by dropping Se-o's baby from a cliff, leading to Se-o going out of control and releasing the Dark Phoenix, even though Hwanung had saved the baby.

The Red Phoenix (The ruler of the South and the guardian of the fire)

Hwanung's subordinates, the White Tiger, the Green Dragon and the Black Turtle-Snake fought against the Dark Phoenix, but they were no match for it. Left with no choice, Hwanung used his Heavenly Bow to kill Se-o, the source of the power of the Dark Phoenix, and managed to seal it once again in the heart of the Red Phoenix.

Gajin committed suicide by jumping from the cliff. Hwanung sealed the powers of the "Four Gods" (The Red Phoenix, White Tiger, Green Dragon, and the Black Turtle-Snake) in certain artifacts and left them in the care of certain people, telling them that they will wake when the King of Jushin is born.

Damdeok (The prince of Goguryeo, and also the reincarnation of Hwanwung)

I just bought the DVD. It's an interesting drama and I think it's worth buying. Graphic, story, scenerio, soundtrack were all nicely mix.

Sichuan Earthquake

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault, or fracture, in the earth's surface. The tectonic plates on the surface are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges because of friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and create the shaking we feel.

Sichuan Earthquake (1)

An earthquake's magnitude is a measured value of its size and is the same no matter where you are, or how strong or weak the shaking was in different locations. An earthquake's intensity is a measure of the shaking it creates, and varies with location.

Sichuan Earthquake (2)

A magnitude of 8 or higher defines a "great" earthquake; 7 to 7.9 is considered "major"; 6 to 6.9 is "strong"; 5 to 5.9 is "moderate"; 4 to 4.9 is "light"; 3 to 3.9 is "minor"; and less than 3 is "micro."

Sichuan Earthquake (3)

Experts have said that a million people died in earthquakes in the 20th century and that this century might see 10 times as many deaths, with as many as a million killed in a single quake. That is, unless major efforts are made to fortify the world’s growing cities, which are expected to be homes to billions of added residents.

I was watching "From Justin to Kelly" on channel 5 this afternoon and I notice they sung one song entitle "Timeless" and that song really caught my attention. Perhaps others might already knew about this song since it's a 2003 production. I admit I was a bit slow..., well anyway I went on to find out more about this song. It's sung by Kelly Clarkson & Justin Guarini from the American Idol that's for the english version.

Justin Guarini & Kelly Clarkson

What surprises me is that, there is actually a korean version sung by Jang Ri In & Xiah Junsu. And both of them had sang pretty well. Each version has their own "feel" and dimension.

Jang Ri In & Xiah Junsu

For the korean version, they actually had a music video for it. Just go to "youtube" and type in "timeless korean", scroll down and you will see the music video. It was divded into 2 parts.

Timeless Korean [MV] (1)

The main cast of the MV are Hangeng, Choi Si Won, and Lee Yeon Hee. Hangeng acts as a police officer while Si Won acts as a villain(Robber). Wearing a mask, Si Won kidnaps Hangeng’s girlfriend (Lee Yeon Hee). Hangeng rushes to the scene and finds his girlfriend being kidnapped. Si Won fires his gun at Hangeng’s head and he falls to the ground. But Hangeng did not die but ending up becoming a vegetable and ever since, his brain shut down on him.

Timeless Korean [MV] (2)

Hangeng stays in the hospital. A year later, I do not know whether Hangeng’s family had lost their hopes on him or he can't make but anyway his family decided to contribute his organs. His heart was transplant to Si Won. After the heart transplant, Si Won find himself having vision and feeling pain. He went to the hospital to find out more about the donator and figured out that it was the police officer that he had shot (Hangeng).

It is a nice song and had certainly blend in well with the MV. I had upload both of the english and korean version into my music player. Enjoy. *smiles*

I went to school an hour early to do my final preperation for my first quiz which is the Supply Chain and it holds 10% and to me it's alot. After the doing the paper, I realized that the lecturer set the paper based on our understanding and I don't think I understand the chapters well. Anyway out of 20, I believe I should get more then 11. I hope to get at least a 15 out of 20. As for the result, I will keep you guys updated.

Today is Friday and I will be enjoying a long weekend! Sat, Sun, Mon(Vesak Day), Tues & Weds(No School). A total of 5 days off! WOOHOO! It sounds good BUT during the 5 days I still need to rush for my report, project, assignment, prepare for the next quiz etc.

Today JJ, Wenwui and me the 3 of us went for a game of pool at Parkway. I mean since it's Friday~ Hello it's weekend! After the pool session, we had our dinner at MOS Burger and also to shop around at the same time waiting for our dinner to be digested. We went into this particular shop and this toy caught my attention. Make a guess what it is?

Make a guess?

Got the answer?

It's a toad!

Yup it's a toad. I seriously had no idea what to do with this toy until Wenwui enlighten me. He actually teach me how to play with this toy and I was so amazed by his "knowledge". *laugh* Here are the instructions. Check this out~

Step 1
Take out the mini drum stick from the mouth of the toad.

Step 2
Use the mini drum stick to rub against it's back from bottom to top. Just like the the photo below

Use the mini drum stick to rub against it's back from bottom to top (1)

It will give out a croak sound that sounds similar to a toad! Isn't that interesting?! I had never come across such a toy and Wenwui told me when he was young, he used to play with such toy and I was like, ARE YOU SERIOUS!? and gave him a (You-gotta-be-f**king-kidding-me) look~ *laugh* End up I bought the toad cause I seriously find it very interesting! *monkey grinz*

So it's preparation of war time and during this period, it's always research, brainstorming and study which sounds kinda boring right? But no choice. *huge sigh*

If you guys had notice, I had change a new music player cause my previous player always give me problem like music can't loadup and sometimes the server is down for several hours and stuff. I'm now testing out the new player, so far it seems to be operating well and I hope it won't give me any problem. Another cool thing about this player is I can actually change the skin and customize the color of the player. Ain't that cool? *grinz*

Other then trying to be happy in life, at the same time I am also trying to make this blog as friendly, entertainment and comfortable as possible. As you can see I had upload a couple of stuff like music, virtual pet and some interesting test to keep you guys entertain in case you feel bored.

Yesterday I went to buy a new long sleeve and a pair of shoes just for the sake of today presentation. But due to budget constraint, I try to get the best buy possible and end up spending $100 on these 2 item. Long sleeve cost me $59 and shoes cost me $39.90.

Long Sleeve

Pair of Shoes

My group and I, we were very well prepared. I mean since this isn't the first time that we are doing presentation so we know what to expect, but perhaps due to a some "miscalculation" end up, our group only manage to score 11/15 which I consider very badly done. It's a bad start and we could have score more. But I promise the same mistake won't happen again. Same trick won't work on us twice.

Talking in class

I should have take picture with my group mate since we are already in formal wear but both of my group mate seems pretty rush as they need to work so end up I took with the usual kakis.

Me and Yu Kok

Issac, Me, Yu Kok & JJ

Me & JJ

I got tired of wearing formal and taking photo in a formal way. So I suggested that we take it in a more punky way. And now we are talking~ it's fun. *laugh*

Starting from here, I would like to share a story with you guys. Yu Kok and JJ never like each other in school. As you can see, they are forcing each other to smell the shoes of their own. Whoever wins, get MY signature, as you know I am VERY popular and a IDOL of all.

Smelling shoes

It's a tough battle as both of their power is almost the same. They even try to kill each other but after fighting for 3 days and 3 nights, it's still a draw.

Trying To Kill Each Other

In order to get MY signature, Yu Kok decided to send his best side kick aka best fighter to win the battle. And so the battle between Wenwui and JJ begins.

Battle continues

I feel the pain after seeing them fighting so hard just for the sake of MY signature and so I approach them and say, "Peace guys, do not fight anymore. Violence will bring you no where. I will help the both of you to sign. So please, end the fight." But I was too late. In chinese saying, there is this term known as "Zhou Huo Ru Mo" in english term I guess it mean they are too obsessed, too engross and they can't hear my voice. End up I was been attack by them.

Help~

Well, I guess they all had been waiting for this CHANCE/moment for a very long long time. I hope you guys are HAPPY! *roll his eyes* But seriously today we were all having fun in school. *smiles*

Again life starts to become rather stagnant. No more fancy stuff like going to eat in restuarant cause 2 weeks of "enjoyment" in spending money is enough. I had spend quite a lot for the past 2 weeks and since I am not working plus all of my friends suddenly all celebrating their Birthday in the month of May. I wonder if they were all in cahoots to make me broke.

Aside from spending money, school project bug me big time specially supply chain. Doesn't really seems to understand or rather I do not know how/where to get the source to match the guideline given. I think I'll just draft out a proposal, print it out and show it to my lecturer this Friday and question her regarding my doubt.

Men usually will only get into a state of predicament either for the sake of money or woman. Well for me, now is money! *laugh* I mean I'm still ok with my daily life but I do not have extra spending power! I wanted to work part time but since it's my last/final semester, I decided to give not 100% but 900% and score well for all modules. As for woman, so far none had given me the feeling of "falling in love". Just picture yourselves walking and suddenly you just fall, yes and that's the feeling I wanted. To just fall. Well it sounds rather fantasy but still this is what I am searching for. *smiles* Some give me the feeling of lust meaning I believe everyone has their own set of ideal girlfriend/boyfriend. So do I. When we see our ideal type, our eyes will send signal to our brain and lust will be activated. Anyway, it's not love but only lust so end of the day it's pointless.

Another week has passed and this is my second week of school. During our CRM (Customer Relationship Management) lecture, which is basically how CRM helps in modern business. Our lecturer mention about this restaruant known as "Ding Tai Feng" and she advise us to give it a try to see how they practise their CRM. So after her lesson, with the usual gang, me, Wenwui, JJ and Yu Kok the 4 of us went to the restaruant to experience their CRM.

Fried Rice (1)

Fried Rice (2)

We order 4 plates of Fried Rice, 1 Xiao Long Bao(10pieces), 1 Shrimp dumpling(10 pieces), 1 Shrimp dumpling (6 pieces). Since we are using Citibank credit to pay and at the same we exceeded $50, a Yam Steam Dumpling is on the house which is part of their promotion.

Xiao Long Bao

Shrimp dumpling

Through my observation, I think their service is good. Waiting time is short and I'm pretty pleased with it cause I'm a person that do not like to wait. The chef that made the dishes actually came out and serve us personally which to us as customer we felt been respected. And as for the taste of the food, it's like heaven~ All I can say is thumbs up!

Me in action

After the makan session, we went to shop around and I happen to saw this pink polo tee and I was so totally been drawn by it. It cost $59.90 which I find it expensive. I mean since I am not working so for me to fork out this amount is a bit too much for me but end up... I still bought the polo tee. Looks like I gonna restrict my spending for a few weeks to cover for the polo tee that I bought.

It was rather pack. All of us are trying to "squeeze" ourselves into the picture. We really did try our best but on the right side there is still more of us so can't really cover all.

Wonder what she wishes?

Blowing the candles

Our family and granny

Yes and that ends everything. I actually wanted to upload all the photos but then I decided to choose a few to sum things up if not my whole blog will be very laggy with all the loading of pictures and stuff. Ever since my school term starts, I had been rather active in blogging. *laugh* No worries peeps~ I will keep this blog rolling!

Ellen Degeneres

I had been watching Ellen Degeneres for the past few months while I am slacking during my school holiday and her talk show helps me pass time. Eventually I start to notice her and begin to like her talk show. I like the way she talks, the way she phrase, the way she handle her guest is so hilarious and you know what's the best part? She will makes us dance before she starts the show.

Ellen DeGeneres (1)

Just a few information about Ellen Degeneres. Becoming a poster child for the gay movement may never have been part of comedian Ellen DeGeneres' lifelong to-do list, but the snappy one-liner queen created a media whirlwind when she came out on the cover of Time in April 1997.

Ellen DeGeneres (2)

The resulting controversy put pressure on her relationship with actress Anne Heche, contributed to the cancellation of her popular sitcom, Ellen, and left her mired in depression for three years. She rebounded as the daffy voice of Dory in Disney's Finding Nemo and topped the ratings with her Emmy-winning talk show before scoring mixed reviews as host of the 2007 Oscars.

Ellen DeGeneres (3)

In her personal life, DeGeneres calls her girlfriend Australian actress Portia de Rossi a "perfect fit," giving DeGeneres plenty of reasons to do one of her famous dance moves.

Ellen DeGeneres (4)

To support her show or you are interested to find out more about the show, Monday to Friday 5pm channel 5 or you can simply visit her website here ==> And I will be adding her web link to my blog as part of been a fan/supporter of her.

The Chronicles

2008-04-24T18:20:00.008+08:00

Rainy Day
24th of April
Thursday

As expected, lots of things need to be done. Today, consider the 2nd day of school for me and we had been assign to quite alot of tasks and assignment. If we don't follow up daily, end of the day I believe things will be piling up which eventually will lead to no time/late submission. Study can be really tiring. I can play games for 8 hours non stop/straight and still feeling perky but after attended a lesson for 3-4 hours and already feel extremely tired. Strange eh?

These are the few chronicles that I wrote for the past few years and it's all hidden inside my website which I don't think you guys will actually click on my website so here I am digging it all out and post it in my blog. Every chronicles comes with a story... every story comes tells a broken relationship and every broken relationship matures me.

Everything you ever dreamed (20.06.2002)

What was it she did to break your heart?
Betraying your trust and everything?
Kiss you with a kiss that wasn't true...
It wasn't you at all...
Hiding behind a painted smile didn't you?
Knowing that you would live a lie of two...
Pulling to the very earth from under you...
And leaving you no where else to run...

Let Go (01.09.2003)

Don't ask what will be the outcome if you never let go,
Everything is fated and already has it answer.
You should be contented...
At least we are still friends...
Please do not push me any further.
Do you really want to see me crying out in tears?
Don't ask me what's the feeling when losing you...
Let those regret be past,
Let those remains be memories,
Let the pain in my heart be gone forever...

Lost (14.03.2004)

Lost in your words...
Leaving only smile to bid goodbye...
The moment when both walk past...
And both become total strangers...
Used to remember your expression...
Used to remember the words we used to say...
Used to remember your smile...
Used to remember the happy moments we had...
And now without you...
I'm lost...

I had to Leave (11.05.2005)

I must leave, I had to leave...
My tear's drop when I thought of holding your hands.
My love for you had grown with times.
But it seems like I have been hurting you more than loving you.
Hope You'll forgive me.
Forgive an idiot like me.
If there's a way to turn back time...
I wish I could turn to the day we first met...
I want to hug you...
Hug you tight...
Hug you close...
So that I could say...
You are my love...
My only love...

I'll be waiting (22.09.2005)

On the days you decided to leave,
You wave your hands and bid goodbye...
As if we would see each other again,
In this city tomorrow...
To believe in love...
Means you'll not lose to yourselves,
Until your dreams comes true...
I'll be smiling and looking up into the stars to pray for you...
I'll be your sky & envelope your sadness...
Whenever you look up, you'll know you are not alone...
Even if you are far away,
You'll know you'll have a place to come back to...
I'll be there...

Back To School

Sunny Day
21st of April
Monday

I just reached home and today is my first day of school. Glad to see my classmate again and all seems to be still the same. Nothing much had changed except for a few that had lost some weights. Anyway, these are the little sneak preview of the things I MUST prepare before I go to school.

500ml of Water

Style My Hair

Pack My Bag

Spray some perfume and I'm ready to go

First day of school and we had already been given assignment by our lecturer and usual group had been formed. We need to do something like Wikipedia and also to write a blog based on the topic we had choosen. As for my topic, since it's part D so I had to get done by the 4th week which still leave me alot of time but I think I'll finished it all by tomorrow so that I do not have to worry about it at the same time I can still double check if neccesary.

Tian Tian Steamboat Restaurant

Lesson suppose to end at 6pm but the lecturer end the lesson at 4pm after she had explained on what topic we should do. Since tomorrow I do not have any lesson, my friends and I... or rather I suggested that we should go out and enjoy ourselves. I mean it's the first day of school so let's reduce the tension, stress or whatever it is and hang out together. We went to bugis and were kinda lost as we had no idea where to go. Finally we decided to settle down at the "Tian Tian Steamboat Restaurant" for our dinner.

The food look tasty~ Yum Yum!

Let's start rolling~ (1)

Let's start rolling~ (2)

End of the day we need enjoy the food but end up regarding when we are billing. It's not about the money. Anyway each of us need to fork out $23 and it's not really that expensive but just that we should eat at the 1st level and shouldn't have go up to 2nd level, reason because at the 1st level, there are 2 groups of pretty babe having their steamboat!! *shaking his head* Damn~ we miss it!

Mum's Birthday

Yesterday on the 19th of March was my mum's birthday and we decided to hold a small celebration for her. We went to Yuki Yaki located at Marina Square.

The restaruant is pretty well concept in the sense that it actually allow us to barbeque, steamboat and to make ice cream. I guess all of us enjoyed ourselves.

I believe mum enjoy her birthday as well. Look at her happy face and how she make wishes. I certainly hope that whatever she wishes for will all come true. *smiles*

Mum's Birthday (6)

It has been a long 4 months holiday. I had been slacking too much at home and eventually I'm getting used to it. But tomorrow which is the 21st of March will be the start of my new term as well as my last semester. And from tomorrow onwards, I guess there will be no more slacking but full of projects and assignment.

Mum's Birthday (7)

As for my timetable,

Monday - 2pm to 6pm
Tuesday - No Lesson
Wednesday - No Lesson
Thursday - 10am to 4pm
Friday - 9am to 3pm

The reason why there is no lesson on Tuesday and Wednesday is because I think it's mainly for us to plan our time as a group to do our final year project/assignment so end of the day, these 2 days we still have to meet up and do some discussion and brainstorming. I hope tomorrow will be a good start for me and for my friends. Let's all pray that we'll all get through our last semester with good grades.

Incident

2008-04-11T21:53:00.006+08:00

Rainy Day
11th of April
Friday

Yes again there is no picture... well reason because there is nothing for me to take. My life seems stagnant again and nothing interesting happens except for things that irriates me for instance... I remember last thursday I went to take my IPPT test which ALL normal healthy ORD personnel MUST and HAVE to attend. So I went with my shorts and my T-shirt. Guess what? End up the instructor told me that I am NOT allow to wear such attire for IPPT Test. I told him say, "Why can't I? The website never state any COMPULSORY attire for IPPT." His answer was, "Don't tell me you wear such attire when you are serving army when you took your IPPT." And I was thinking..., "Hello? I am already ORD. So why must I still follow the rules?" Anyway He gave me 2 option. 1) Is to change my shorts to proper running shorts OR 2) Mark me as absent. I choose no. 2 because I find it totally ridiculous. The most I'll book my IPPT some other day with the PROPER attire.

On the neutral side, the instructor had did nothing wrong just that I myself do not know/understand the rules. I THINK I am the King. I THINK I can do whatever I want and whatever I like but I was wrong. So after this incident, it triggers my thoughts. Once again my theory generates. I seriously doesn't belong here. This place doesn't suits me at all. There is so many or rather too many rules and regulations that sometimes I can't breathe. I guess I am the so call one of the "noises" in this country. Even as I blog, I am afraid that I might type something offensive which I am not really trying to be offensive but just to vent out my anger at the same time my thoughts. So if by any chance I am typing something that I am NOT suppose to be typing out, I apologized and please do not sue me for that.

I did tried to change myself to adapt to this country but I guess I had fail and I am now really working hard to leave this place. To search for a place where I can migrate, be happy and to enjoy my freedom while I'm still kicking.

Sunny Day
1st of April
Tuesday

Gone with the cooling weather and back came the stupid sun which I hate the most. I went to "Shao Mu" last Sunday and for those who are not from Singapore it simply means to pay respect to my late ancestor. I went to my granny place at around 10am and after some preparation we set off at around 12pm in the afternoon. Yes we went to the cemetery to bring offering as well as to pay a respect to my late ancestor.

Of course NO PHOTO are allow to be taken, well I think you should know the reason why. I wouldn't want any "extra" person to appear in the photo. *grinz* Anyway it was very crowded that day as everyone is doing the same thing. Learn alot of interesting stuff during the trip at the same time I felt gulity as well. As the eldest grandson in my family I fail to pay respect to them every year. For that I sincerely apologized to my late ancestor.

These are the "things" we must hang on, follow up and keep this practise going on. I learn that it isn't just about paying respect and to bring offering. We had to throw coin to summon them before we can leave cause if my late ancestor are not been summon then we can't leave. The coin will indicate "their" answer. It's actually quite complicated as sometimes when "they" are not free, we have to wait until "they" say yes.

During the process, my relative will ask for number to buy hopefully we can win some extra cash in 4D, toto and beside that of course we also ask for blessing that everyone of us will be safe and sound. It's not a waste trip as when I see their tombs or funeral urns, somehow I felt that "they" are happy to us there. It's a feeling that can't be explain, you'll just feel this way. Every year of this month I will definately go and pay respect to them.

Because of her wedding, I get to see a few of my secondary school friends which I seldom meet up. Manage to get a few update on their current situation and stuff. Seeing everyone mature, get married, having babies, got car etc.. sometimes really makes me wonder am I really behind time? and really had the urge to faster graduate and start to work asap in order to gain all these.

Michael's baby is really cute. I try to take photo with her but I guess she is shy I mean afterall, there will be pressure when taking photo with such a handsome/charming guy like me. *laugh* So no choice I had to take photo of her and me from my back as you can see the photo as you scroll down.

Dennis I heard he will be going to Thailand to invest and at the same time migrate to Thailand. I thought it was a good choice cause to me I never ever once like this country and it totally sucks to the core. If he can make it in Thailand as a friend I really felt happy for him. He will be flying off on this coming 27th of March and if it's possible I'll go to the airport and send him off.

Supper

I finally shave~ because last night I went out with my guild mate from Silkroad for supper. You know as you play along usually you will visualize how they look like based on what they type and how they type in words but in real life like I met them yesterday is totally different thing. You'll feel weird, afraid but at the same time it's fun. *smiles* They are a bunch of very nice people in game as well as in real person. We went to "Chomp Chomp" for supper.

It was quite sudden for me to be call out for a supper as I had to shave and stuff and didn't really thought of taking photos. Next time... Next supper or outing I will try to take photo with them and show you guys how my guild mate look like if they are willing to take photo with me *hee* People from different lifestyle, job group, age, enviroment can be brought together in gaming and share common topic which at the same time creating a bond which I think it's quite amazing.

I didn't talk much during the supper reason because they were all so engross about gaming and they really discuss in details, gossip and stuff which I think I am lack off perhaps I am too focus how to enjoy the game with my friends and neglected all these interesting stuff but it's fun to hear them talk about all these stuff which at the same time at least I know/gain some information about how they play and what they think. Definately looking forward to next supper/outing.

New Image (1)

Yes yes I'm sure to receive lots of feedback like what happen to you? You look very outcast~ Why you didn't shave! This is ugly blah blah etc.. But this is something new to me. At least I felt new, something different when I look at the mirror everyday when I wash my face. *monkey grinz* Anyway this sunglasses belongs to my sis. Somehow she had bought this sunglasses which I find it quite perky so decided to wear it.

My Mum

My mum saw me wearing and she decided to join in the fun as well. *laugh* I thought it was kinda cool for her to be wearing sunglasses as well.

I just want you guys to see a different, a raw kind of me when I did not shave I mean there is nothing to hide. It's my blog and it's about me. Another reason is because I had nothing to write or rather blog so I decided to create something and here I am with a new image. *hee*

Silkroad

Windy Day
4th of March
Tuesday

I had been playing this online game known as "Silkroad" for awhile. It's a game infested with bots(computer programme players that will play by itself) which means it's very irritating with them around when you had the interest in leveling but recently the GM(Game Master) had declare war with the bots saying they will ban them, well I hope things will really work out and ALL bots will be wipe clean in the game.

This is my game character

The reason why I enjoy playing online game is because it allows you to enter a different world. Let you temporarily get out of the real world and get involve in the gaming world. In this gaming world, some may gain confident, some may feel happy, some may have the freedom, some enjoy the view and scenery so meaning to say there's a lot of factor involve when playing online game. Well of course there is many different online game and "Silkroad" just happen to be one of them.

Online gaming isn't just about playing games. It actually involves tactic, strategy and what I like best about online gaming is I to get know lot friends from all around the world. So far I had known friends from Canada, Turky, USA, Malaysian, France, Germany, Mexico, Australia, Indonesia.

As you can see, these are the screenshots that I took with me and my friends having party and together as one, we work together and defeat monster in the game and of course at the same time we will gossip and talk about life, complain etc... So it's a whole lot of fun. For those who are interested you may go to http://www.silkroadonline.net for more information. By the way, my nick in the game is oOSunOo. Server is Xian. If you happen to be in that game do message me. *smiles* Ok time to play my online games. Ciao~
