A run through of the most boring activities of the month!

Last week, joined the iPhone frenzy at the Golden Shoe Complex Hello shop! I thought the crowd would be tempted to snooze their alarm clocks like me and fail to generate a long queue BEFORE the opening time, BUT I WAS PLAIN WRONG, there was 27 people (Yeah I counted) waiting in front of me!

So yep, my newest device joining my pocket arsenal, replacing my senile e51 (which was lost by the way sigh no more army internet phone)!

Using your debit card has advantages... especially when you spend alot in a promotion month like May, so I got myself a free Swatch Watch to claim!!

And yeah virgin picture from my phone hehe =)

Yep but there lies in me the stereotype that promotion watches are the more chui watches that the whole lot of cheaper skate people would wear and flaunt, so its stuck in my room as a, erm, table watch now...

-

Buaya week, pictures speak greater than words... so yeah,

Thanks Buaya -_-

-

Saw this product at the NTUC

So what it does is it folds into this neat and flat box, in the middle of which lies a deadly smear of sticky substance and a lizard bait (i suppose its like, a fly).

The lizard gets attracted by the bait and scurries into the box towards to bait, only to realise that its legs are glued onto the box floor and it wished it had stronger limbs to get the hell out. PLUS, it probably did not even get to eat the bait =(.

According to the instructions, the box can just be threw away like normal thrash. That ends the human story to this, but can you imagine what happens to that poor old lizard?

Its going to starve to death (with the bait in front of it), in some smelly dirty rubbish heap, or worse, at the brink of starvation, get incinerated!! Lizard rights groups should step in!!

Then again Im not a fan of lizards, so, just saying haha...

Awesome FREE facebook ap that lets you take awesome pictures as such

sometimes... this fantasy just flash into my mind

that one day, i can just secretly pack my bags, find a fake passport, grab like maybe 2000 dollars cash? buy an air ticket to erm, London first. And fly there. Just leave everything behind (well best case is after 7 years if you are missing, you are declared "dead" and you can claim insurance monies betcha din know that hehe!)

and when I touch down in London, i will walk the streets, look for a fast food restaurant kind enough to allow me to wash plates. Maybe even kind enough for me to reside in. I will wash plates, start serving, maybe become a crew leader or something... probably after 2 to 3 months, i may have ammassed enough money to buy a eurostar pass!

then i'd travel to mainland europe. now before that i'd learn german, french, italian, you name it, by buying books in London... then i'd go there, same thing, find a nice restaurant to take me in and let me live.... and I'd do the same!

on off days, i'll roam the streets, take a few train rides, explore the europe...

maybe make a few friends here and there, drum abit in pubs and clubs, grow a beard just for fun, shave it off, get mugged, kicked, stabbed by a robber, die in a hostpital, or survive it all and move on... you name it

well just around europe... maybe if i get rich enough, can fly to japan (after learning japanese that is), america... doesn't matter that i am alone... the adventure that matterss.... =(((

guess when u are down... its convenient and easy to think of escaping as the answer... the thought just thrills me... but it wun happen,

because there are still things here worth staying for. =)

Was listening to Electric Feel by MGMT... and my history with this song just oozed out from my memories.

It started one fine Saturday night at CDA, think in mid June, with Poksam and a few other people, toying with baby as usual. He played that song and it caught me straight away.

The following monday, I remember I had an exercise playing FO umpire. It was my worst ever FO umpire exercise, I remember we marched through the whole woodcutter's trail, and further up till Lorong Arasma. It was a shitty experience.

But halfway through the woodcutter's trail (its this rather hidden trail that cuts the central catchment area, quite interesting =) ), this song just kept playing in my mind...

Awesome accompaniment for a unforgettable experience under the clear night sky and moonlight.

Well it rained heavily in the following morning and I was drenched and it didn't feel good after -_-

The next time this song made its mark in my memories was in exercise suman warrior in malaysia. I remember I had that song as part of my August playlist, and it was practically playing EVERY single night before I turned myself to bed to sleep in the hot, crowded, dirty, squeezy bunk, under my all so important mosquito net (the first night without it, I probably had 1/4 of my blood sucked dry).

Yeah, so it reminded me of everything about that exercise... Shall dedicate a post to it someday, it was quite an awesome memory...

She going to teach me how to swim...

*Faint vibrations*

I peeled my eyes open, not much of a difference in the pitch black room. Reached out for my vibrating phone alarm, and its light abruptly pierced through the peaceful shield of darkness, revealing a small, cosy, double-deckered room. 6 am, just in time to see the sun rise on the dutch border. Kicking myself out of bed, and carefully down the from the upper decker, I stole a glance at Samuel who was still soundly asleep, before grabbing my bathing kit for a refreshing morning shower.

The toilet was of resplendent pristine cleanliness, and the warm water was the most comforting of all from the impression I had of most cruises. The image of dirty toilets and freezing cold waters was flushed out from my mind since yesterday when we checked into our room onboard Stenaline cruise. Squeezing the Singaporean Elseve Shampoo onto my palm, I wished the pseudo jacuzzi would carry on perpetually...

But it shouldn't, because there were better things to expect. As the hours passed, we would soon be in Amsterdam.

I was not alone on the Stenaline Cruise deck, there were a handful of morning-bird-tourists who managed to defeat the snooze button, enjoying the sea breeze, whilst watching wind turbines passed by on the sides of the Dutch beachheads. It was exhilarating. I missed the sunrise unfortunately, but still, I was dumbstruck by the fact that here I am, standing on a cruise deck, 7 hours away from home, with 9 brothers, and nothing less to expect other than the thrill of living in a foreign land. My thoughts were broken by the cries of seagulls, and I looked up and saw a trio of them in a triangular formation, hovering above the ship.

We are close by.

Jumped down the stairs back to my room to find Samuel awake, and I beckoned him to enjoy the unfamiliar outsides with me, and of course, take a few pictures. Our mini camwhore session ended when we heard the announcements that disembarkation would commence soon, prompting us to hurry and check the status of the other 8.

A piercing horn reverberated through the ship.

Amsterdam here we come.

FASTFORWARD

Check out them thai adverts from my marketing class. The extent to which Thai marketers would go to promote their products are certainly disturbing, but I likeee

Before I forget my awesome nightmare,

I dreamt I was on this exploration trip with a known friend. You know how dreams sometimes attach these arbitrary characters in your head, that makes you believe that you know them very well but in fact you don't know if they even existed in your life? Yeah thats Captain Unknown with me walking through this grassland that has mountains at the background, kind of reminds me of Taiwan training scene. So we crossed to this area with rice paddies, the sides of the paddies are higher but are very steep, whereas the partitions amongst the paddy fields are flat much very close to the water flooded rice paddies! So Captain Unknown manages to walk pass these paddies on the sides, but try as I may, I just cant grasp my footing on the steep slopes, so I ended up walking at the lower paddy partitions.

The moment I stepped on them, guess what? I heard a hissing sound, and a KING COBRA emerges from the paddies! (My dream IC loves to make things extra dramatic by choosing the most deadly snake in the world) It hissed at me, with its majestic neckspread intimidating as ever.

Knowing from all the 9pm documentaries I watched from when I was young, the last thing you do is panic, just stay still, so thats what I did exactly (proud that I was able to do so EVEN IN A DREAM HAHA lame..) but guess what? Next thing I knew was this sharp pain on my hands as the King Cobra lounged at me. I screamed. It wasn't a deep bite, sort of like a larceration, so I was not so fearful that much venom had seeped into my body.

BUT THE NEXT NEXT THING I KNEW, it threw itself on me again, and this time, it got me realll deep, as if it read my mind.

So I scrambled out of the paddy field, and kept shouting for Captain Unknown (I don't know what name i used to shout for him, I just knew I shouted real real real loud cos he's lack of awareness has let him a far far way ahead from where I was)

So he heard me, and came scrambling back, miraculously avoiding the king cobra infested fields, and asked what happened.

By then I was in a real state of shock, and I was sitting down, trying to keep calm as the venom will not spread too rapidly. I could feel my body getting numb and my head getting real heavy.

So I told him in the calmest voice I could muster, to call the ambulance as I've been bitten by the most venomous snake in the world and risk getting incepted in my dreams forever as a paralysed decrepit.

BUT THAT FAGGOT cant seem to get my idea? Like he showed no sense of urgency for my doomed situation, and got the number for the ambulance wrong... I screamed at him for that, he seemed apologetic for his blunder, but yeah I knew my chances of survival were far from slim.

Maaaybe dreams IC decided to let me taste my own medicine when I act very stupidly/lack of awareness/lack of common sense... sigh =(

I hate arrogant people.

People who purposely and constantly try to impose their ego on others.

People who absolutely LOVE to see others humbled before them.

People who treat others with contempt, who disregard their humility.

But unfortunately, sometimes this are the people who are leaders who have to follow.

I would love the see the day,

When the underdogs turn the tables,

When the low-lyers outperform the haughty,

And their sly disdainful smiles are wiped off from their fucked up faces

Just because you are good does not give you the need to be a fucker

It irritates me when I witness people answering questions for the sake of saying something he researched about that doesn't pertain the the question being discussed, just so to show the tutor he/she has done his homework/is a hardworking student/loves to support some balls (or tits).

No qualms, its a good thing, doing your own research for yours and the tutorial classes benefit, I appreciate your sharing. BUT NO it does not value add much when I come to the sheer realisation the army-grade wayang is just for clinching class participation.

You might have recalled a twit I made about not wanting to get any Hongkees/Indians/Pinoys for tutors.

Guess what?

My business analytics tutorial. This old balding guy, who looks really Singaporean comes to the front of the class.

"Guud morneng, maai naeme is meeister ** annd ai ahm youur teutor"

SHIT!!! If any of you guys were in class, I really, really, really going to die sniggering... thats probably the closest I can get to class participation as well.

My managerial economics tutorial.

Fierce looking Indian lady with soulless eyes and a face that reads I-am-sick-and-tired-of-teaching-I'd-fail-you-just-for-the-sake-of-it.

Its okay, thats not the worst part.

When she started her class ranting the rules and regulations, I cried, her accent was as thick as the Battlestar Galactica stretched out flat and straight... both of them that is.

Hahaha really tickles when such instances happen in life!!

Thank God my marketing tutor was not pinoy!

Every morning when the irate alarm ringtone awakens me from my slumber, I can feel a war being fought inside me.

The aggressor belonged to the studious and focused army from the Previous-Night's-Promises Armed Forces, whereas the dug-in defenders belonged to the lazy but strong Get-Back-In-Bed-NOW Militias.

Usually, the PNPAF would appear strong and well-prepared the night before, telling me that waking up at 7am is a good idea because you get 1 more hour of study time/running time before I need to go for lessons/work. They give me such a good reassurance that I felt so confident that the PNPAF's plans will not be jeopardised.

Nonetheless, little did I know that the GBIBN Militias were planning for their sneaky attack onto land Fighting Spirit. Through my soundless sleep (I don't snore and I hope to keep it that way haha!), they secretly advanced and captured Fighting Spirit, entrenching themselves and awaiting for the counterattack of PNPAF.

PNPAF opened the break-in battle, with the widely recognised alarm clock as the signal for breaching.

GBIBN were well prepared and defended Fighting Spirit strongly with the following arsenal:

1. "Just sleep more no point studying when you so tired!" Grenades
2. "You gotto be there at 10 a.m., work backwards, you can sleep till 8 why wake up at 7!" loaded GPMG
3. "Snooze first, afterwards then decide!" mm Recoiless Rifles

Today, PNPAF lost the fight, and GBIBN accomplished their mission to delay PNPAF's advance by 0800hrs. Sigh.

Yep, so I started the day heading towards Mediacorp! Well today was all about getting my anime costume right... the most interesting part was getting my face dolled up with make-up, and boy it felt so much like camo when the make-up lady smeared my face with pseudo-perfume smelling skin coloured paint, and coloured my eyes black (I couldn't stop my eyes from shivering when she was drawing my lower eyelids haha!)

I couldn't recognise myself AT ALL after the make up, costume, and fake hair (Got this golden coloured wig!)

So because of all that I was late for lecture. Now before jumping into details of looking for Felicia Chin through the rows of half-bored half-irate students of the ever "entertaining" Business Analytics lessons by the most fucked up lecturer till date I have uncovered, let me share an only James moment...

I mistook a Police Car for a cab

Probably was the far distance in which I saw the 'Cab', it did looked like a Merc cab if you ask me! So I strode to the edge of the road in confidence, and ALMOST flagged it when I realise my total fiasco before turning around trying to make everything look as innocent as ever. I did not notice if the Policeman driving saw what I did, well if he did, the story of the uncanny dude who attempted to flag a Police car because it looked like a cab would probably be circulating throughout the whole Police mail lists!

Ok so FML for that, moving on,

I managed to flag a real cab this time.

And boy did this cabby impress me!

Barely stopping his cab, the cab door miraculously opened, and left me wondering as the cabby ushered me with his hand motions to get in the car, Robin! Slamming the door shut, I realised that the cabby had engineered a device that enables him to open the rear seat doors with a flick of a handle next to his gears.

"Seat belts please", he spoke in a harsh voice, making me jerk the seatbelt around me quickly.

This cabby is like a cut above the rest... with this device he engineered, he probably saved 5 seconds time from commuters opening the door after the taxi halts. 5 seconds per business, this would probably add up to a substantial amount of time saved for the ingenious cabby, bringing him more business than a normal cabby. Moreover, he has well established SOP's in place, when he firmly told me to fasten my seatbelts. I've met taxi drivers who would are less with the safety of his commuters, assumes a safe journey and does not insist that passengers fasten on seatbelts. However, by doing so, this cabby has eliminated a substantial amount of risk involved in accidents to the passenger!

So it does not matter what you work as. With innovation, you can still be a cut above the mediocres of your industry.

Word of the day:

Dapper
neat; trim; smart
James looks dapper in his DnD apparel

Good day!

You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever - because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.

The friendly dressed ticketing lady took our tickets, whilst flashing a friendly smile, helped me scanned the barcode, unlocking the iron gantry doors that open up to Singapore's new entertainment pride: Universal Studios.

"Please collect your vouchers from the guest house, enjoy your stay at the Universal Studios!", she chirped, as we slid excitedly past the entrance.

A wide street, lined with 60's 3 storey houses on both sides, flooded with tourists, greeted us. Grand music played through the hidden speakers, and in the far corner, the pending majestic battlestar galactica peeked through the clear blue sky. Happiness was clearly in the air, as sounds of laughing children reverberated through the symphony.

Awesome.

Ended my day with the collection of dryer-dried laundry and 3/4 through reading of my Week 1 reading assignment, (am I not supposed to be at week 2??). Once again, hall life parallels my army days, especially in SAFTI where I would wake up at x a.m. just to get the laundry done.

And it sure was a good feeling enjoying a cup of lukewarm Nescafe Gold coffee from my mess tin, doing army what-nots at the common area soaking in the x a.m. coolness of the air, and the occasional hoots from the owls out in the wild. I like the feeling of carrying the nice and warm laundry back into my room where my poor roomie has to enjoy the incessant bursts of light rays which I hope did not wake him up often judging from the volume of his cacophonous snoring. Followed by the oh-yes-I-get-to-sleep 5 a.m. - x a.m. hours more before getting carried away into Z monster land.

Fuck army thats not the point,

So finally after that short inception-like burst of memories whilst travelling up from level 3 to level 6, I finally managed to get packed and ready to go. Haven't been home since last Sunday I missed my good old bed badly.

After a 25 minute bus ride from hall to Vivocity, I proceeded to transfer to bus 100, and something struck me like a revelation.

It was fuuuuucking crowded, with foreigners.

FOREIGNERS! I remember the time I used to be able to get a seat easily at the Vivocity bus stop, but guess I have to face unpalatable fact that foreigners are now dominating the seats, and for some reason they hate to move into the bus.

So there I am, squeezed with my Primark bag slung over my shoulders, Steve Jobs book in the other hand, touching skin made 500km away from Singapore on all sides. Are all my luxuries taken away by this ubiquitous, mono-fashion people? Thats going to be terrible.

Well, somewhere in the middle of Bugis and concourse, I did see one of this foreign workers give his seat up for an elderly woman. Such heartwarming incidents just tears my skeptic walls apart to embrace whatever I have been against with...

Scratched a patch of skin off my thigh when I decided to do an illegal slide during my softball match just now. Hope this does not affect UNIVERSAL STUDIOS TOMORROW WITH STEFFI, GONGKIA AND JM!!

No its not Warren Bufet prof, its Warren Buffett!

And Vanessa is not pronounced Vaneeesa, its pronounced Ver Neh Sar!

Its not a very interesting a lecture if all the examples you use are extracted from our very cheap 90 dollars textbook!

First week of school, for the first 3 days I slept less than 4 hours every night, I have yet to start training for IPPT, I realise the GEM I bidded for requires a heck load of reading to do,

but I never regretted choosing business! (Ok yet, since I've not attended all the lectures haha!) Its really interesting.

Albeit the failed lecture this afternoon.

I need a cool laptop case!

2010-08-09T07:49:00.000-07:00

After 2 years of brawn work, where the closest academic readings I touched were military precis (with pretty broken English, or army speak should I say), I am finally at this day, the eve of my school re-opening.

Reminiscent of the eve-of-school-reopening-days. I remember (clearly) the day before secondary school started, I was so piqued over the mixed-school hype that I tossed and turned in bed till 1 plus before falling asleep! (Well 1 plus is like way beyond the sleeping hours for a Primary school graduate in the past... yeah 1 plus is like early sleeping time now haha times change!)

I do remember the days in OCS... when I posted about doing my very best to maximise the time spent in army. It seemed like a pseudo goal setting registered in my mind, and I did achieve what I requested myself for. And I hope to do the same for university.

I want to do my parents proud. I want to do myself proud as well.

Nonetheless in addition to that, I shall not neglect the importance of forming social circles (and strengthening those that I am in already), because what will I get from getting a good results when it comes at the opportunity costs of all the friends i could have made?

And of course, loving you as much as possible through our busy schedules!

Well if there was ever a last step left from maximising my army experience, its to apply what I've learnt (the good stuff of course haha) to my university life.

I am an officer of the Singapore Armed Forces
My duty is to lead, to excel, and to overcome,
I lead my men by example
I answer for their training, morale and discipline,
I must excel in everything I do
I serve with pride, honour and integrity
I will overcome adversity with courage, fortitude, and determination
I dedicate my life to Singapore

Cheesiness aside. Some people will look at this and scoff, how can a creed change your life? How could you let a creed change your life, its a bunch of words!

I beg to differ. A belief is like a seed, it grows and yields results, if watered consistently with perserverence and determination. And with that I hope my belief in this ingrained attitude I learnt from army is going to help me with my studies.

Fuck the nay-sayers. I don't want to be brought back to reality because I'd like to lead an extraordinary unmediocre life. Impossible is nothing. Results are 10% luck and 90% of our attitude towards achieving them.

Nothing short of a first class honours. Let's go

2010-08-04T11:46:00.000-07:00

There is a crack on my laptop top cover!!

Cant believe how easily my T210 cant last long! The biggest impact I subjected it to couldn't be more than a light landing of my laptop in my esprit bag on the floor.

And the laptop coating I bought looks really shitty, I'd rather leave it as its pristine white appearance instead!

I did not manage to bid for my Singapore Studies module!! Got outbidded by 20 points sigh.

Now that all the 'good' modules that enable students to get their desired slack schedule are all taken up, I have been limited to planning with shitty uninteresting modules like how Microbes have affected the course of human life.

Speaking of which, comes the question as to how can a company choose better employees from universities as per se.

For instance, putting myself in the company's shoes, I would like a good employee, one who has the initiative, does not like to take short cuts, and hardworking.

Hence, comparing two identical students clearing 160 MCs at the same time, one who takes simple modules (just to achieve graduation criterion) as compared to one taking more challenging modules (because he/she is interested in what the module could potentially benefit the student in terms of knowledge and competency), the second one should by right be getting more attention in his resume.

Nonetheless, west side would like to argue that hey, having a well planned slack attack time table enables me to participate in hall and faculty activities, of which many leadership positions can be filled and experienced. Afterall, hands on experience beats academic spoonfeeding.

Guess in the end of the day, its what you believe in that brings forth the best results in you. Afterall everyone studies/works/operates in a way uniquely his!

Just finished my Sheares camp with an awesome performance with the band!! It would have been better if the bass amplifier did not throw in the towel and disappoint poor Chris at the most bass-dependent song we played last night.

Shall skip tomorrow's business sentosa trip to track the bidding of my module. Maybe I get to play some basketball hehe =)

No one gets me other than you.

THE NEW PORTEGE T210!

COMES WITHOUT A CD-ROM DRIVE, ONLY 2 USB PORTS,

But it looks cool and I enjoy using it!

I'd promise you Mr Protege:
1. I will virus scan you every week
2. I will delete all the stupid install program programs usually left to rot and take space
3. I will clear the recycle bin before I shut down
4. I'll make sure you last me for at least 4 years =)

Thanks Dad. I will study hard.

Its a stay home Monday!

*Play Keisha 8a.m.* Wake up in the morning feel like sleeping in, because the weather was just right with the air-conditioned coolness from the light drizzle outside! I love the colour of the sky in such instances, light grey, with shades of white caused by direct sunlight beaming onto the dark clouds.

So, I decided to stay at home and not go for my meeting hehe! (Hope my boss does not see this, but yeah managed to convince myself I need time to pack my room and my sheares camp bag as I would not have time tomorrow nor the patience to stomach another mad last minute rush).

Next thing I knew it was the 10 a.m. Snooze followed by the 11 a.m. alarm that really woke me up. Haha its as if I have 2 incepted dream (FYI I MUST SET 3 ALARMS 5 MINUTES CONSECUTIVELY or I might just 'accidently' hit the snooze on one and... whatever happens next).

So yep, packed my room, tried to finish viewing the CORS instructional video. I hate it when video clips do NOT get to the point straight away and try to 'interact' with the viewer (There was this point in the video the narrator, who occupies a 8 by 8 square next to the video itself, asked me a question and gave me 5 seconds to think about it. 3 such questions asked, 15 seconds of my life wasted feeling annoyed).

I have yet to finish the 1hr 15 minute video though -_-

Then came packing for my sheares hall stuff. Its funny to see 'Comfortable Clothes' and 'Pyjamas' as 2 separate items in the packing list! But nah the last time I wore a pyjamas was when I watched cartoons on the then available cartoon network.

Pack my room pack my room...

And I chanced upon this 2 CDs. Curiosity killed the cat's owner, james and so I decided to check it out.

Interesting how images transport you back in time... its just the CD the guy sold to all the cadets with all the pictures regarding all the things they done in the last 3 weeks of being trainees.

Cheers

Matriculation tomorrow, jamming, interview, hopefully get to settle my Singpass, going to be a busy day, again.

Sigh I miss you =(

2010-07-25T09:25:00.000-07:00

my eq may be low,
but that does not make that an excuse for any circumstance,
neither does it mean i shouldn't do anything about it

how does it feel to have concrete skin
to endorse the notion of eternity
to be tormented by thirst instead of hunger
to not, have a beating heart!

200 more pages to go breaking dawn ftw

For reasons hard to fathom, this song reminds me of Switzerland, the crazy mini bus ride to the canyon swing side. I can totally replay each of the pre-ambles to the jumps, and the jumps themselves, to this song as the backing. The ending of the song matches with the train ride back to Erlenbach, after buying sandwiches from Megros (and meeting a Singaporean family in it, one of the few unexpectedly instances in Europe that epitomise growing globalisation). Wow!

It invokes an emotion, neither positive nor negative, neither happy nor sad, and can only be classified in a genre of its own. All I know is that its a strong emotion, and I enjoy time to time experiencing that nostalgic feeling sweep through my body cells, leaving a tangible grasp on my heart in the end of the trip down memory lane.

Erlenbach was awesome.

Was reading through Singtel's iPhone 4 frequently asked questions, and a few thoughts came to my mind,

Will S****** be the first to launch iPhone 4 once it is available in Singapore?
Thank you for your interest. We do not have any updates on the launch date of iPhone 4 in Singapore at the moment. However, please be assured that once you have registered your interest with S******, we will keep you posted on new offers and info relating to the launch of iPhone 4 with SingTel.

Ya right you do not have an updates! I can somehow imagine the CEO's of the 3 Telcos, sitting cross legged, arms akimbo/outstretched behind the backrest of 3 comfortable couches, half-filled Martell glasses resting on a glass table.

CEO Sing "Eh the iPhone 4 how ah so long already the public keep asking about it sibei irritating sia!"

CEO M "Ya loh... duno lah duno lah very ma fan sia gotto answer all the questions if we start releasing prices and stuff... Eh Starryboy89 your stock came in already right?"

CEO Star "Yea finally sia... the last time I think I gave them the wrong address nbpcb otherwise we could have started selling them much earlier nia!"

CEO Sing "... so how? $450 or $550? Can $550, I wan go Europe next year leh"

CEO M "Hmm... duno lah, tmr then discuss k? Lets go play l4d2!"

CEO Star "OMG wa damn long never play already, my favourite weapon is the shotgun!"

All 3 CEO's have a hearty laugh and leave for the nearest LAN shop.

Will SingTel be the first to launch iPhone 4 once it is available in Singapore?
Thank you for your interest. We do not have any updates on the launch date of iPhone 4 in Singapore at the moment because we are procastinating, theres still 5 days till the launch date. However, please be assured that once you have registered your interest with S******, we will keep you posted on new offers and info relating to the launch of iPhone 4 with SingTel, so that we have enough time to think of what to send you all. XOXO

Met this financial consultant. Young and confident, belonging to a IFA (independent financial advisor, basically its those smaller scale financial advisory firms that deal with a whole lot of products, unlike companies like aia and pru which deal only with their coy specific products)

He belonged to MDRT, known as the Million Dollar Round Table, an internationally recognised standard for financial advisors.

When asked how old he is, he shocked me. 21 years old (22 this year)

He is from TPJC, results where not so good, so got a place in nus real estate. took up part time financial advisor job in army and university, got his mdrt title at age 21, and used it together with many other creditials as a financial consultant to secure a place in nus business, and i'll be his coursemate for the academic year 2010.

Grades everything? 5 A's 3 H3 Distinctions means everything? No, its the attitude that counts (dear parents, bosses, teachers, and people who like to steoreotype others including me, this specifically refers to you, you think your child/employee who score fucking well in academics is going to be successful what not, think again if he/she is a lazy ass, very hard for success to come by. And those who do fucking badly, its never the end. It may have taken 2 years/3 years to study for your A levels/diploma whatsoever, but it only takes a split second decision (and committment to that for the long term as well) to change your attitude and decide that the past does not determine your future success)

I respect him deeply, I wish to learn from him

Doing not good at all in my new insurance agent stint. Its so hard to sell.

But I love when I meet interesting people

Like when I was doing cold-calling at Toa Payoh (those irritating guys you see camping outside mrt asking for surveys/trying to get u into a conversation, yea add james guk to that list), I met this indian dude that looked like an old beggar. He called me from where he was sitting and asked me what I was doing, so I told him I started out on insurance.

Turns out, he is a boss of a international recruitment company, and also have been an insurance/property agent, ex scdf officer, ex police officer, and so many more credentials I cant remember all of them. (You must be thinking fuck james confirm kana con. again) but not because this guy knew his stuff and he was able to relate to me regarding insurance terms and everything well, so I believe he was not lying or trying to talk big.

Well he did teach me an important lesson, that is reaffirmed by every other motherfucker who does well in life. Set goals, follow them. Set high goals too.

I don't want a mediocre life.

2010-06-30T09:01:00.000-07:00

I BELIEVE IN INSURANCE, DO YOU?

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.

Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

Life is like a game of chess, in which there are an infinite number of complex moves possible. The choice is open, but the move contains within itself all future moves.

Every thought is a seed

Sow a thought reap a word

Sow a word reap a deed

Sow a deed reap a habit

Sow a habit reap a character

Sow a character reap a destiny

Anyway, I've been brainwashed by AIA already into believing insurance is good for you. Let me brainwash you too =)

Sooooo sally cant waiiit.....

21 years of living and life gave me the most important lessons

Never take anyone for granted. Ever.

Treasure what you have before its gone.

Live for yourself, and never to please others.

Thank you, really =)! I'd sort myself out, you know i will!! =p

Small truth to make our life 100% true to ourself

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

if u assign a=1 b=2 c=3 and so on and so forth,

H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 19 + 11 = 98%

K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96%

L+U+C+K= 46%

L+O+V+E= 54%

So what makes 100%?

Not leadership

Not money

Every problem has a solution only if we perhaps change our ATTITUDE

Its our ATTITUDE towards LIFE and work that makes our life 100% successful

A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E= 1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100%

Quoted from an sms by my boss.

11 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ASIANS AND ANG MOHS LIVING IN CENTRAL ANGMOHLAND

Europeans adopt a right hand driving system. Takes a bit of time to turn ur head the right direction when crossing a road!

On escalators, its a keep right rule, not left. 10 considerate asians on an escalator may result in 5 on the right and 5 on the left who forgot the rule

Supermarket staff hate to pack things for customers, you gotto do it urself after she tosses it into the pack-it-urself corners of her counter upon payment. And nothing is free to them, not even plastic bags.

They expect tips. Well, the not-used-to-asian culture ones at least, so dun be surprised to see black faces if u pay till the exact cent on the small metal tray.

Jaywalking is the way to go. Europeans believe in speed. distance x time = speed, so with every single second a car is not going to knock you dead, they cross the road. Think the frog-crossing road game

They hate to work at night, or past 7. If shops closed that early in sg we'd prolly suffer from boredom disorders

They love the sun. We hate it. (A normal summer day with the sun shining at full strength is tantamount to a nice warm bath. Minus the wetness)

Going through motion is the way to go. Like passing by a bunch of illegal peddlers as if scaring away pigeons from a bread feast (not catching any), allowing tourists to go after passing through the metal scanner even when it screams for a metal presence, and checking 1 ticket and assuming the other 9 is good and belongs to the passenger and assumes its not stolen and believes its up to date and validated. Which is a good thing... again it saves time and distance x time = speed

(For Germany particularly), a trust system for public transport, where gantries are non-existent and the only thing stopping u from buying a ticket is your conscious (i forgot how to spell that word, u get what i mean haha)

Small is big. At least for coins! A 1/2 swiss frank (i'd rather they use 50 cent, really confusing) is deceptively tiny.

The pee in ur bladder is a taxable entity. They tax it by the 50 cent gantries, or the old and grumpy lady sitted next to a table with a coin plate, that separate pee holes from bladder relief. Oh shitting cost more too in switzerland haha!

Why must all good things come to an end? =(((( Y Y Y Y!

STRAIGHT UP FML

i once had this dream....

dad brought me and brother to a multi storey carpark...

there i saw this pretty damn huge suv... dad said he bought second hand for us!

i was fking thrilled!

dad decided to give it a test drive... for some reason the front seats can accomodate 3 people so all 3 of us managed to squeeze in front...

now this multi storey carpark was quite trippy, at the edge where cars usually are parked, instead of a wall, its just open with no barriers,

and beneath that 6 storey ledge seems to be a scene from madagascar, trees, rivers, etc.

so dad was driving the vehicle towards that area where the right turn exit will come soon,

however, the leftmost wheel was too far out and it went over the ledge,

so the whole vehicle, faceplanted 6 storeys to the ground which in my dream was now a granite sand patch

now the nose diving part, i could literally feel my balls in my throat. and the wind in my face (although technically the suv supposed to have a wind screen and shit, but it had 3 seats in front like a 5-ton so anything goes yea)

SMASH,

some reason, all 3 of us just came out unscathed, but the suv front was destroyed...

people are probably wishing this pre-back-to-mugging-carefree period lasts forever? some reason i dun just wan it to be over... just dun feel good about it and theres nth to look forward to... other than eurotrip of course... out of the norm as usual? FML =(

motivating messages keep me going, so heres one i saw:
10% is what life throws at you, 90% is how you react to it

TIME TO TAKE CHARGE

Was on my way home to tamp mrt when a shitload of people walked pass, freshly alighted commuters!

And I aia assure i saw like 4 osaka towns?! easily...

haha was so amused by that fact had to do some smile hiding!

And another one on my way home... this was a 1 x young sec sch potential osaka town, im totally sure she gna grow up to be a chio bu

ok lah jzy last tutorial over... 2 more exams to go!

oh btw go check out justin bieber's one time video, the starting part while he was playing computer games... noticed a glitch in the acting

while justin picked up usher's call, just go and look at the other boy from then on

he was just staring at the screen throughout

firstly, if that happens, either justin should pause the game or the kid should pause the game, but he continued playing... wan chou!

and assuming the game was paused, after that the boy just continues to stare at the screen with a subtle smile! shouldn't u be looking at justin interesting at what usher (OMFG ITS USHER?!) talking, or just give the 'kin leh' look cos justin just scored 'oh ohhh.. threeee! hehehehe' and wouldn't he just wan some catching up on the score! presumably playing winning eleven or something!

boys you can break... find out how much they can take... boys will be strong, boys soldier on, but boys would be gone without the warm of, a woman's, good, good, heart...

HEADS UP

Meet X

Year 3 student at smu econs

pay check for last month, 6k

works for a financial advisory firm

manages 1.3m worth of clients money

does day trading, top 10 in some local trading competition

how imba is that?!?!

met up with him and a course mate just now at wheelock, as part of understanding the job offer he offered for the firm he works for. Learnt quite a great deal talking to X.

For future SMU students, and financial sector wannabes, a degree may not be enough to get you a high level job (i.e. analysts etc), an impressive portfolio, which many students are in fact building up during their time in university, would be a plus point to securing your job. X is not the only one so successful in his part time field, there are many other students who are working for many other financial firms out there too! Some are doing their own businesses...

Well listening to all these just gives me the chills. Its no longer going through the motion and expecting to land with a 4k job after 4 years of university education, ongoing real world working experience within your choice field/doing something incredible to build up your portfolio are equally important, which brings in the elements of being able to manage university time extremely well. X sets his lecture schedules to achieve a 3 day school week, leaving 2 weekdays and the weekends for meeting prospective clients, hence raking in his crazily insane payrolls!

Then again, depends on what you would like to achieve in life as well! I mean perfectly no harm playing your way through university, ending up with a mediocre job, BUT, having lotsa fun with friends/having a loving relationship/doing great works of charity, bottom line is to be happy with whatever you do and achieve!

But for losers like me, guess hopping on to the fasttrack (attempting to, might just slip and fall), is the only way to be happy/feel a sense of achievement =(

X says, for SMU biz/econs future first year students, study your stats/calculus well. First year will be very mathematics focused, so if you can brush up on those rusty knowledge, would probably give you more time to have fun/focus on other things!

sometimes, its REEEALLY annoying when the more wayang people get their way/recognition from others. But thats life ain't it? Either you adapt or you lose out and complain.... guess marketing oneself is a really important skill now, whichever industry we belong to... haiz

talk so much cock james why dun u go do something?!?! mtfk

And can you imagine if the guy was following the bird with his crosshair, and the bird flies past daniel's window which i was staring from, and he just chose to pull the trigger, POOM!

GOLDEN CAGE FTW

Well whats new, I am the earliest to arrive on time and decided to go early to do some reservation of seats at kuishinbo,

Haven't been to kuishinbo before, I had no idea where it was in gigantic suntec,

Thank God for good commercials:

Tom Tom Tom, 1 2 3, we are kuishinbo, tom tom tom, 1 2 3, good price good taste japanese food, tom tom tom, 1 2 3, suntec tower level 3....

SUNTEC TOWER LEVEL 3 =)

So thats where I was headed and low and behold kuishinbo lay cosily tucked between the entrace to sky garden and some turkish restaurant...

BUT

It was FULL of people, like, a queue of almost 20 odd Singaporeans.

It looked as if theres a sale in kuishinbo or 20 odd group of people decided to celebrate their friends bdae at that location knowing that it isn't that well known and its secluded and no one is going to go there to queue!

Quite surprising that the other restaurants are devoit of customers... And blardy kuishinbo still charges like 40 for the buffet?!

So I joined the queue, with my handy iPod (tis would have sounded cool 2 years ago before itouch became the newww thang), and the (newly illegally downloaded new fav song golden cage) playing in my ears, makes queueing much bearable.net

I glanced to the playground visible from the skygarden entrance... nothing changed since:

4 years passed since I've been there... dunman high uniform rocks

revelling in the nostalgic moments before everyone started showing up. And we ended up waiting for at least 45 minutes in front of the queue for 14 people to vacate their seats and let our big group go in...

Shouldn't get pinoys to like, do the announcment thingy! No offence, but we couldn't keep a straight face listening to the accent going through the watever announcments that were being made, mainly the half an hourly "first come first serve specials cooked by the chefs"! Chicken Nut Beef (She cannot breathe)

After that went sam's house for party proper... shall overuse the word nostalgic (which is the only appropriate word for now) cos saw this picture 2 years ago at the exact same date when we celebrated his bdae! Time flies like house flies when u try to hit them as they land on your skin

Had good session of boozing... good ole time chilling i must say... haiz, but i did haf fun!

i need to get out of my comfort zone

BEARISH MOMENTS

Just had the worst ord dream! =(

fucking bad way to start an already bad day... HAIZ

Its the subtle things that affect the most!

I rmb posting something somewhile ago, regarding that life is fair (like dota gameplay) and stuff, it sounded so convincing then to me then

But I need much more convincing to believe in whatever I had been preaching now.

If I was a car I'd be an old toyota, accelerating when not needed, problem with the brakes when brakes are needed, and getting into accidents,

The only diff is theres no dealer to recall and give me a software upgrade, i've to figure it out myself fml

rants aside,

Kinda funny if this damn buff guy comes in for an interview with a fierce look, then u look at his resume email address is worm2forlife@xxmail.com or donaldduck83@xxhoo.com or boyboy138@xxxmail.com (EHH WONDER WHO haha kidding nehji! =))

Guess some just hide their true self behind a facade!

Someone buy me a compressor pedal, or an EQ pedal!

GOODBYE NSF

Brings back lotsa memories when I read back the posts I did during NS.

2 years just passed like that! Wow...

Nothing comes free in life. The safe environment I was living in from the day I was born till 18 years of age was due to the sacrifises of men up to 18 years my senior doing NS. I am glad that I contributed this to the rest of the other Singaporeans.

I am glad I did made quite alot of use of my time in NS.

Was extremely lucky to be selected to go OCS. For that I decided to do my best in whatever I do. And it paid off at the end =)

Heartwarming/bittersweet feeling to end it all =( I kinda miss my bunk, my office, my train/bus rides to camp, guess its just a re-org phase into the next mission in civilian life!

That said, I will do my very best not to use any military terms and jokes as part of my civilian conversion course... do fuck me if I do!

Thanks BMT sergeants/PCs. OCS Sect Comds and PC's. AI Instructors, Liaison instructors. CTC instructors. FSTOC instructors.

And most importantly, BMT section mates, OCS section mates, Yankee syndicate mates, Liaison syndicate mates, CTC course mates, FSTOC course mates and AI Colleagues and Liaison colleages.

THE WEATHER IS SO KATTY PERRY

Its like you watch those shows

then there are scenes the non-problematic character stoops by the one with issues, gives like a few good words of advice, pats the back and leaves, then the camera zooms into the person with issues who will portray the troubled look!

i tink about it, if someone does that to me, i will be like, wtf?!?! hahaha! point is some shows are kinda unrealistic, and it sucks for skeptic people to keep pointing this things out and not enjoying the show for wat it is!

"...just means he hasn't checked in doesn't mean something has happened"

"doesn't mean it hasn't either"

WEE SEE ARE

Another awesome song by the xx...

You, you still have all the answers

And you, you still have them too

And we, we live half in the day time

And we, we live half at night

Watch things on VCR's,

with me and talk about big love

I think we're superstars,

you say you think we are the best thing

But you, you just know,

you just do

When I find myself by the sea,

in anothers company by the sea

When I go out the pier, gonna die and have no fear

Because you,

you just know,

you just do

Watch things on VCR's,

with me and talk about big love

I think we're superstars,

you say you think we are the best thing

But you, you just know, you just do

JACK

This is just outrageous

You can hear that the camera clicks seem to intensify with the amount of emotion put in by either party... especially when the wife spoke

What the fuck is up with the reporters?

Can you imagine being in his situation... knowing that theres no way you gona escape this shit, the lest you could do was just take a photo and fuck off... some of em even went to the back as if, this is some limited offer holographic video...

And just because Jack is a brilliant director, doesn't mean he directed this dramatic scene either. No doubt this is real, and fuck all who actually thought things like this can be doctored.

My blessings to you Neo family, what you did was wrong, but everyone deserves a second chance. It was douche for you to make God knows how many mistakes, but I believe you are going to pull through this difficult time... and be a better man

The media is heartless, and I played a part in it as well by watching this video so dun get me wrong im trying to be all righteous

COLD TURKEY

After much reflection (tonnes of time of it in camp), I have come to the conclusion that I work very inefficiently when I am very much caught up with issues that have no immediate solutions, and this in itself is like bringing me into this downward spiral, given the recent screw-ups I had ... worst thing is, its quite hard to find someone who understands. I did assume that it would have been easy to do so, but this week has proved me wrong, probably its just me...

hate it when sometimes the night before you feel better, the next thing is to wake up in the morning feeling like fuck/shit... again! with every breath from my lungs, fml!

took courage to pen this post down, i din really liked exposing how i felt as I looked up to people who seem so independent and capable of managing bad times, i.e. having some internal/external solution that allows things to be discreet, rather than posting on a public blog post!

ok enough of this rant,

NSmen are reallly funny!

Like how they blatantly come late for lessons and stuff and act all normal! Its like the day before, the instructor clearly stated be on time if not the instructor is gona start without them as they have something urgent on...

Next scene: NSFs first to arrive into the empty classroom, time was 8 a.m. (even the instructor was late haha... regulars)

And also how some of them look so tight-fitting in their pretty much overgrown uniform!

How they take army acronyms as their own work place acronyms (AGM = Annual General Meeting)

How they achieve discipline immunity in camp with that old faded uniform...

How they like to niao regulars haha... (thus far the 'score' dictated by the NSmen is NSmen: 25, NSF: 5, regulars:-5, tabulated by the number of smart/funny(and stupid/cold) things said)

Riiight... Spending the last 8th day in camp...

2010-03-07T06:53:00.000-08:00

MUNDANE AGAIN -___-

weee its course tmr!!! -_-

but i should consider myself much luckier already, afterall i get paid learning shit, rather than doing shit, which probably kills lesser brain cells... wadeva, still wearing green so that in itself is bad enough!

another great song by the xx

Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give so much more
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor

It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you

Sometimes, I still need you [x7]

And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more

No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before

I FIND SHELTER IN THIS WAY

jamming was good... managed to (90%) finalise two of our songs... and recorded it on a relatively good gongkia phone! lucid's mission statement is to get at least a demo out b4 uni...

came a long way from rock, funk, to prog metal! doubt many will enjoy but well, i enjoy making it =)... but i committed the cardinal sin of falling in love with emo indie music (sorry gongkia!)

course is utterly boring now.... nsmen are funny! nth further out...

I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when I say
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Could I be, was I there
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
Please teach me gently how to breathe

And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

YO MAMA SO STUPID THAT UNDER "EDUCATION" ON HER JOB APPLICATION, SHE PUT "HOOKED ON PHONICS."

Yo mama so fat she went to the movies and sat next to everyone

Yo mama so fat she lay on the beach and people run around yelling Free Willy

Yo mama so fat when she has wants someone to shake her hand, she has to give directions!

Yo mama so fat she goes to a resturant, looks at the menu and says "okay!"

Yo mama so fat she fell in love and broke it

Yo mama so fat when she plays hopscotch, she goes New York, L.A., Chicago...

Yo mama so fat even her clothes have stretch marks!

IRRATIONALLY BASTARD....

sometimes i get quite pissed off in a queue that is going slow, but more pissed off when someone else starts complaining about it, especially those middle aged atasauras aunties with those scarfs and flowery clothes... i duno if you are faking rich or are really rich, but, husbands please educate your rich wifes that if you think u deserve a express queue, go talk to the manager, give em some money (or a blowjob) and POOF you have ur priority, but dun stay in the normal queue and make noiseeeee!!

sry angsty again.... first angst of 21 years old

anyway changed for the (finally) posb debit card after using the cracked grey one for donkey yearss!! sec 2 i guess, that was when i first had income from macs... wow that card followed me a long way

make up my mind! =(

BREAKING ALL LEGAL AGE BARRIERS

"...Stay true to your values..."

it struck me hard, sometimes i realise my disconnection with values led me to many indecisive moments.

well, first and foremost i have to define my values for there to be any direction! more or less know whats its like for now, just need more clarity and definition

once again, thank God that I am in a healthy and sane state, more better than last year. I thank that all my friends and family (xcept for an unfortunate incident that happened to my distant uncle in msia. rest in peace.) are all in good shape, and I pray they will remain so for 2010 and beyond.

always believed in the importance in taking of yourself, because as far as you try, you inevitably exert a negative externality (acting chim over here) on your family and friends should you fall sick and stuff. Understand sometimes accidents do happen, those aren't in our control, but whatever is within our control, we should do our best to ensure that we are never a liability to others...

Once you settled this 'internal' balance within your life, I believe in settling the 'external' balance by being an asset to others. I realise many times in life, whenever we choose to upset others, the main culprit for the decision is pride and ego, hence I hope I make a conscious effort to act more with rational thinking than getting swayed by the pride and ego, they are just optional factors to screw up your external balance. All the pride and ego needed within yourself is that you are gracious and mature to have not let it affect decisions that cause negativity to others. Make sense over here?

18 years of education, 2 years of toughening up, now its time to hit the uni and prepare the da real world. Thanks to all who made this possible, any one whom I know and helped me in a way or other towards adolescence....

"...brothers for life..." you bet!! thanks dan

JZY!

THE LEFTOVER ALCOHOL IN MY BLOOD

pardon my angstyness

fuck clubbing, fucking stupid activity

fuck rich people who think they are better then the rest... u may be smart but you guys dun respect the fact that we are all human

fuck selfish people who always think of their own losses before considering how others might lose, you wouldn't bare to lose 1 cent if it helps 100 people gain 10 cents each. cos you still lose 1 cent

and fuck not-brother-enough people like me who just cant stand clubbers, rich people, and selfish people because, shouldn't brothers be able to accomodate everything they do?

happy?

CATHARSIS PLS

After spending a little more than 48 hours in the doo room, of which 14 hours were sleeping, the other 34 hours spent with the majority on the television, bits and pieces were allocated to newspapers, internet, meals and pondering about life, I came to the conclusion that

I must blog a new entry...

saw this chinese new year kfc advertisement, trying (very hard) to show that kfc chicken is good because eating it makes you divert your attention to the tasty chicken instead of the chatter and cliche cny gathering's questions by relatvies... well maybe a better solution would be to print a disclaimer

I, NRIC, FULL NAME, declare that,
I have/have not a girlfriend
I am primary/secondary/jc/army/uni year __
My results are as follows ____________
I acknowledge that I have changed alot from the last time we met

I understand you care for my growth and progress, and I appreciate that. Now let me enjoy lunch/dinner.

Channel newsasia great... the only issue is that when you put such a cute host to tell me bout the top stories, it easily distracts half the population! And sometimes its really funny to watch them try to get out of their own awkward situations when they say something really cold and lame...

So.... the next two weeks shall be the worst weeks of my ns life, sometimes its not the actual shit thats depressing, but the days before that that give you a hell of a emotional rollercoaster. A level days are the perfect example... Nah watever shit happens gona take it like a man!

Hmm... sometimes people would say, its better to experience shit first hand, so that you can come out with your own solutions to tackle the problem. Another school of people would probably advocate, its better to learn from other people's experience, applying their past lessons to your present experience so that you may mitigate as much fiascos that would occur.

To the former, it would make you a more independent person. You'd probably exercise this problem solving 'skill'. But wouldn't it be double work, if all these skills were already developed by someone else and all you need to do is learn from them?

To the latter, it would make you be able to tackle the problem better. But wouldn't it make you dependent on your friend's advice for solutions? When can you develop your own?

Maybe the optimum trait is a hybrid of both problem tackling techniques. You could learn from your friend's experience, apply it to your current situation to avoid the failures that your friends may have experienced, and at the same time exercise critical thinking to better this solutions and hence cultivate independent learning habits.

Easier said than done.

These few days have been feeling really disappointed with myself... so much self-improvement to be done.

lady gaga's new songs are really good!

AND HENCE ENDED THE 4 DAY STREAK OF MUD RAIN PAINFUL SHOULDERS AND NOTHING-TO-LOOK-FORWARD-TO-NESS

Was approached by this person holding a laminated colourful sheet, a clipboard with a couple of forms and a smile on her face...

No Im not going to tell you how cute she was and blah blah blah

But well, mental models of such people tell us one thing: THEY WANT YOU TO SIGN SOMETHING THAT FISHES MONEY OUTTA YOUR POCKETS!!

Hmm, but I've never tried speaking to one before, always avoided them when possible, with the cliche excuse of "I am in a hurry", "Sorry! No time", or the cheap *fishes out handphone and start to answer a call... (never done that before though, would be funny to see a group of people doing it at the same time when getting attacked by such people!)

So I decided to well, let her practice her brainwashing skills while I try to decipher a pattern to how people like her approach potential customerz

They will start with "I am not selling you anything, DONT WORRY"

"Let me ASK YOU A QUESTION, : blah blah blah"

Answers it him/herself (a question designed to make you jerk your eyebrows going like, wtf? never though of that before)

OPTIONAL Presents the laminated colourfully printed paper with details on why your money is better placed in their organisation than your wallet

OPTIONAL After observing you for a while, salesperson slams a random generic comment on you to get to know you better, for instance I was wearing a TFC t-shirt and she asked what TFC was, slowly got to me serving NS and coming to a conclusion that I was 20

Elaborates on what he/she is advertising in detail

Now shows you the clipboard with the many forms in it with a pen stuck to the clippy end of the clipboard, reassuring speeches come thrown at you like a MG firing at max rate.

BUUUUUT, I tried to remain unskeptical about the mental model I had of her for the moment, and well I did learn something today that could well be of significant impact to us in time to come...

15 people die of heartattack everyday on average

3 in 100 people survive a heart attack

money is needed by the Singapore Heart Foundation to assist the needy, educate the public about under-appreciated stats regarding to heart disease and things like CPR that can increase the chance of survival for a heart-attacked...

K, but well I wasn't prepared to pay 58 bucks a month to save heart diseased patients...

So I told her that, and she gave the understanding look, and said thank you all the best!

It would be funny if the moment I walked away from her, I just collapsed with a heart attack, and she comes standing in front of me saying: "see told you its quite common in sg! anyway if you had paid 58 a month, it would cost you that less for your hospitalisation! so would you still like to sign up for it? we accept visa mastercard american express"

HEART OF LIFE

As I was walking back to office, I notice something moving on a grass patch near the walkway. Went closer to see what it was, low-and-behold, its a snake who just taken a bite on a frog!

The snake was black in colour, about a metre in length, average in width. One of the frog's legs were caught by its jaws. The frog was perfectly still, kinda resigned to fate.... or probably shagged after a failed escape attempt.

So there I was, awed by my discovery and sua koo ness of not having seen a real snake in action before. I stood and watched on, waiting for things to happen (man mood)

After around 5 minutes of stoning in the same position, the snake started to move its mouth, engulfing bits of the frog slowly. So there goes its other leg, and half of the body of the frog. Throughout this whole procedure, the frog still lay perfectly still, with the occasional 'breathing' movement from the bottom of its mouth to show its still conscious...

However, when the snake starts to suck in the frog from its half-body-in-the-snake-mouth position, the frog suddenly started breathing very quickly. Maybe it thought I would save it from its demise, only to realise I am just a neutral creep. But yea, it started to breath very hastily, till the last bit of it was no longer visible, except for the oval bulge on the snake's head.

Then slowly, the bulge just moves further down to the throat of the snake... Ok a snake doesn't really have a throat, but well the short length below the snake's head...

Real live footage of animal planet, could i ask for more....

then something really spooked me happened.

After the frog was swallowed, my balls shrank as I saw something at the corner of my eye on the pavement I was standing at, like some small thing came past.

At first I thought it was another snake,

then as I turned to look, it was another frog.

This frog, leaped pass of me (almost in front of my boots) towards the snake.

Unfortunately (maybe fortunately) for it, there was this 'curb' separating the grass patch from the pavement, and the new frog was jumping, as if frantically trying to get across the curb but to no avail.

The snake, by now, had started to slither away into a shrub nearby.

After some time, the frog managed to leap over the curb, and it stood at where the other frog was being swallowed by the snake (well, not EXACTLY, but around the area)

Maybe the eaten frog was giving a distress signal that I couldn't pick up? Maybe the frog that leaped pass me (and if you think about it, frogs usually do not leap pass human beings, they would probably do a quick attack, i mean a skirt, to not even get close) picked up that distress signal, and was on its way to perhaps, try to ka chiao the snake so it could not swallow its buddy?

Some brotherhood seen in the frog kingdom, but was unfortunately too late.

The rest can be summarised as, pest control called but couldn't catch the snake the end.

Had an interesting 2 hours observing the snake, and the pest control guy attempting to lure the snake out...

And according to the pest control guy, it was a motherfucking cobra!

All it had to do was be bo liao and take a bite at me, thats it, I'd be lying in a coffin in my number 1... and 6 div probably have to change their formation patch animal!

But nonetheless, I still have this uncanny love for snakes since I was young...!

panda ftw

RA RA MA MA MA

I always thought a MAZDA 3 looked really cool,

With its nice lights and sleek built,

Until this MAZDA 6 drove pass me while I was crossing the road

In awe I stared at its beauty,

Then a LEXUS GOD KNOWS WHAT MODEL IT WAS drove pass after the MAZDA 6...

Man... all these nice cars,

Then as I walked to my carpark

I saw this SUZUKI SWIFT...

and then a CHERRY QQ...

You know what that means?

Actually I don't, anyway my dream car would have the engine of a TOYOTA, body of a MAZDA, colour be that of a beautiful white AUDI, and best still, selling price of a CHERRY!

MISSED MY RUN WITH DAN NAT AND SUBA COS I OVERSLEPT! I suspect was because I left my phone too near me when I sleep, so when the alarm rang thrice, I just conveniently stopped it! Solution would be to put it far away from me.net

End of leave. JZY

And I don't really like those 4 seater cars with only 2 doors... i mean, whats the point of that?

It doesn't even make you breakfast

OTTERZ

Either they have been trained really well by the zoo,

watched too much tv

or are just plain cute

i rmb the last time i went to the zoo, the otters were like the most exciting of all the animals...

things that are draining morale:
1. prospect of extending ($ or pink ic)
2. remaining duties
3. self-doubt on responsibilities as instructor
4. unknown number of exercises and atec

things that could help boost morale:
1. chillingsss...
2. looking forward to EUROTRIP!
3. friends and colleagues
4. jamming
5.

emotions are like stocks that go through the 4 stages (frankly this 4 stages are kinda bullshitty, cos if it goes down it will have to come up, otherwise the stock wun even exist in the first place)
stage 1: the pivotal point from a low/stagnant feeling
stage 2: the so exciting uptrend that you wish never ended!
stage 3: with nothing to feed that uptrend, it smooths out till equilibrium
stage 4: incoming rollercoaster downwards!

probably at, stage 3.9
