Hi guys. I'm finally back at work after coming back from Taiwan
( yes, i'm trying my best to update that post).

Chinese New Year had passed too. Just when I thought it would get duller and less merry
with more relatives leaving us, the family unit just seem to grow stronger I guess. Hopefully
it will remain that way too. I've already one less house to visit already, but that just means
we'll stay longer at others instead right?

The office has been also quite lively lately, during the festive periods. 10 plus middle aged
adults shamelessly marched into the General Manager's office to 拜年 and to give him
mandarin oranges in exchange for their Hongbaos. All that happened right in front of me
too, since my desk faces his office. Too bad temp. staff don't get any red packets.

Work has never ever been so boring. Now, I find the past me for being absolutely ridiculous
for wanting my own desk, my own phone with my family portrait on it. What I do everyday
is so routined and I hate it. I mean I can accept it if what I did yesterday and the day before
is slightly different, but the only difference is really what I ate for dinner and probably how
many times I went to the toilet. I can't even imagine doing this job on a permanent basis
even though the pay is very reasonable. Justified for the boredom you have to go through
everyday that is. Ms Huang, my chem teacher is still taking ages to get back to me with
details of my new job ( hopefully they still need me) and my boss is on holiday, I can't
even tell her I'm quitting. *After paying for my Taiwan trip and my SNSD concert with my
pay, I'm also not sure what I'm left with too..

Lastly, dinner was settled with Qinhui and Darren yesterday. I cant believe we acted like
primary school kids. Oh well, at least it was fun, haha!

2012-01-24T00:59:00.001+08:00

I'm back!

I really do wish to make a post about the Taiwan trip as soon as possible but there
is just so many things going on right now. Although we had just touched down at
midnight, we went to work, Chinese New Year is in 3 days and I have to help out
with the spring cleaning and I'd probably have no time to do last minute shopping
even if I want to.

Actually I had already wrote some parts in a notebook during the hour long train ride
to 嘉義 (Jiayi) from Taipei. That was while my other 3 companions were all fast asleep.
What a weak. ( I just realise when I use jokes or terms that only a group of friends
know, I would seem like an idiot, but yup). Overall the trip was satisfying and well,
different from my previous one with my parents. As any Taiwanese would say, 超赞的.
Ok here it goes!

Day 1 @ Taiwan

I'm back in Taiwan again and memories of the previous trip started to flood back once
we arrived at Taoyuan airport. This time, I'm here with Chua Han Yang, Woo Wei En
and Fat Wee. The interesting thing about this trip is that Mr Chua is a 老台湾 and I
seriously think that even he himself do not know how many times had he been there.
We were expecting someone to pick us up, holding a sign that says" 扬扬 and friends",
or rather it was just me, but I was not disappointed though, haha. The boar ( a guy that
has thick fingers as noticed by weien) soon drove us to his warehouse where he
supposedly made lights and lamps which we really can't comprehend how they were
able to.

The guy right in front of me is the boar. I did not manage to capture

a picture of his hands though.

The boar soon drove us to have a meal in the mountains. One would most likely

wonder are they able to do business with only a table occupied every few hours, but

they were still very professional and the service was good too. The place was secluded

and that helped enhanced how tranquil and exclusive the place is, or rather it prevented

it from being not so. Furthermore, the food here was so great, we were all incredibly full

afterwards. There was this yolk fried prawn that had colourful chocolate sprinkles on it

that looked so very artificial, but it was delicious!

We soon went out to play the tops in the mini play area while the boar needed to smoke.
I think it is really part of their routine to smoke every hour, especially since cigarettes are
so affordable there. Their government should look into this microeconomics problem.
I guess Hanyang was probable the best beyblader there, in the mean time, the rest of
us were just trolling around with the tops.

Time flew quickly with the considerable distance travelled and the heavy meal that we had
and we soon headed for our hotel at Ximen where we did some very light shopping.

Our dinner was definitely a memorable experience to all of us. We were treated to a meal
by Han's dad's friends and partners. There was the braggart, eggface，二话不说 and
Macallan ( pronounced Ma- zha- lan). Well they were just actutally just adjectives to
describe one of them only. He is a typical towkay who brags about how he can relax and
leave work to his wife and how his son must have a pretty wife, if not he will "lose face".

This here is a mazhalan. Apparently they all love this whiskey. But as to make one bottle
last as long as possible, they dilute it with around a 1:1.5 portion of water and a little
lime juice. They were actually quite insistent on us downing it together with them. I guess
it is really important to know how to entertain clients and business partners with alcohol.
The diluted whiskey was bearable i guess, but that meant one person's share is at least a
few glasses. On top of the very satisfying lunch and rather wide spread dinner, I was
bloated.

This is a picture taken at a nearby 7-eleven. The point was to show case their epic-ly red
face but the camera just couldnt capture it. Just when I was extremely proud of myself
for not being red-faced, macallan commented that my face must be very tanned and black,
thus the redness does not show. I guess it's just the genes lah. Anyway they were fighting
it out on who was "more drunk" which was very funny! haha

Day 2@ Taiwan

I'm taking this straight from my notebook:

This is not a very significant day(but looking back now, it is) as my memories of it is vague
( it is not now) and I'm requiring my photos that I took to recollect what we did!

Oh yes! We took the morning train to 九分to 放天灯. Those who had watched 那些年
would be quite familiar with it. According to Hanyang, there was 9 families in that area in
the past and when they imported necessities, it was always split into 9 equal portions. Thus
I assume it goes the same for 五分,八分, 十分 too. We arrived in a rather forested area
and we followed the railway tracks to a rather touristy area for lunch.

We ate some noodles and rice that was drenched in sauce/ soup and we ordered 觜边肉.
It should probably be the meat of a pig's cheek? It tasted nice though, but it is sadly almost
the same taste as any other part of the pig. It's quite chewy and 有嚼经。

It was still bright there, not sure why it turned out like that but I like it.

The following is a little embarrasing, but actually I dont have to be! Anyway while making our
way to the 瀑布, we encountered a japanese man who enquired about some rail service that
was apparently closed that day. As a self-proclaimed beginner in Japanese, I only picked
up the most basic words that we said like " this, that". Had to end up ending the conversation
after awkward gestures that were made from both sides; him trying to ask for help; we just
pointing in random directions. At least my phrases for " I do not understand" that I used during
work was put to use, where he seemed impressed ( I think, haha)

We made a U-turn when we reached the 瀑布 ( waterfall ) as there was an entrance fee and
we can see it from the outside anyway, which it looked rather small anyway. Unfortunately by
that time, my socks were wet as I did not realise my shoe had gaps. sigh.

Random "house" that we stumbled upon

He refused to come up, I think he was afraid

(I realised i can create a lot of bullshit, since it's my blog, muahaha)

We soon returned to the train station and we decided 放天灯!
Each coloured lanterns holds a different meaning to it and we settled with red because it looked
the most appealing. The "meanings" were different in every store anway, so to me, red is to
wish for handsomeness and awesomeness in all aspects of life.

We got to work quickly and while only Eugene was taking it seriously, hanyang was wishing a

whole load of ~~rubbish~~ very plausible goals such as SM entertainment recruiting him.

Weien and I were just writing random stuff here and there and we drew us onto the lanterns!

I still firmly believe I did a good job to draw Eugene and Weien. Though I was initially

disappointed with weien's doodle, compared to my masterpiece, when I look at my portrait,

我真的越看越像. Hanyang thinks he look like his picture too, so good for him! haha

There are actually 4 sides to the lantern where 2 were the rather serious one and 1 of them

should only remain in my Taiwan folder, undisclosed for eternity. Sadly, the picture we took

with that side was actually very nice! Oh man! haha.

Really hope we do well for As!

Eugene totally revealled to the whole world our identity of being a Singaporean or a non

Taiwanese because of his bermudas. Firstly it was cold and secondly they all have great dress

sense, such that barely anyone wears short pants there, besides some girls who just wanted to

show off their rather nice legs.

Bye 天灯！I think it probably did not even make 5 minutes of flight time and it would have

just dropped into the 瀑布! Anyway this was also when I felt handicapped and helpless

because my Chinese standard had obviously took a plunge and I could not even write some

things I wished I had.

Not bad right?!

Our 导游 wee kinda failed us on our way to 基隆 night market and we took ages to find out

how which train to take and to finally walk there, where it was near some macdonalds.

Of all the 卤肉饭 we ate, the one here was the best! We had to wait for quite a while to get
our seats. Wee mentioned something about his parents will not eat from a stall where the
cook doesnt wear glove, but I think the trick is just to observe which stall has the longest queue!

That day was also the eve of the 2012 Taiwan elections, and everyone was hyped up about it.
This is some pictures of last minute rallying and they set off fireworks every few streets!

Day 3 @ Taiwan

Hanyang woke up especially refreshed as he claims he had insomnia the past few nights.
The plan for the day was to change to a hotel in 北投 and explore 乌来 for the day,
which HY and Wee had both been to before. Thankfully we had 小谢哥to chauffeur us
there, together with our luggage.

乌来 is a nature's paradise. It is a mountinus area in the North that has fresh air, a scenic
view and plenty of rather steep slopes. To think that my mum wanted to go there during
our previous trip. She wouldn't have been able to even make it to the entrance. That day
was also the day of their presidential elections, you can see some of the photos I took
below!

The guy on the right was skewing and barbaquing some meat and was jumping around
acting "hyper" to probably attract attention. He kind of stopped during the evening when
we were on our way home. Haha, so practical.

One of their polling stations

After yet another meal treated by them, where we had ostrich meat, we soon made it to
the cable car / gondola where we made our way up the mountain. Where do they get
their ostrich from right? How many ostrich can you even fit into a farm, haha.

Here is where everything truly begins. There was this "haunted house" ride where we can

take right at the entrance and of course we took it with much hesistation. This was also

where i totally laughed hysterically, because it was just too funny. You see, Weien was

infront of me ( I was the on the second cart). Just when the door opened, I expected

all of us to move in together but only Weien's cart jerked and started to creep into

the haunted house by itself. I'm not sure if it was the suprise or the anticipation, but

the laughing did not stop.

Here I was, trying to take photos of the rather stationary figurines that are suppose to scare us, but my camera's motion capture really suck and all i captured were these:

But when I turned on the flash, it just becomes hilarious, HAHAHA

There mini hula hoops for you to throw to wish for good health, love life and everything else.
I threw them continuously for 5min and I couldnt even get a single one of them. After this, we

2012-01-20T23:00:00.001+08:00

I'm still busy with my Taiwan trip post! Do be patient!

2012-01-12T00:55:00.002+08:00

Hi, I'm flying to Taiwan tomorrow! But first,

The reason for the post drought is because I failed the freaking easy Basic Theory Test
by one mark. Thats a 44/50. The surge of disappointment and ridiculousness was only
slightly better than how I felt after getting back my O level results, which is exactly 2years
ago, which is coincidentally my Birthday too. What was I thinking when I chose the option
to speed up?? It's obviously wrong. HAHA.

Work has been as usual. Other than some company's website being hacked by hackers,
there isnt any interesting tales to tell.

On the 7th of May, I went to my brother's Passing Out Parade at the Marina Floating
Platform. From a considerable distance away, you can already smell the heavy stench
that was really suffocating. So my parents, his gf and I woke up at 6am to get there and
we got really nice seats. Armed with a camera and binoculars, I desperately tried to find
my brother in his platoon and when I found my brother, I was madly clicking the button
to take photos, only to realise that it wasnt him minutes later.
Well, the initial impression of the well coordinated event was that I really felt protected in
a way. With such young men in rows and in uniform, it is really hard not to feel impressed.
HOWEVER, when I started to to think more deeply, I realised that those "men" there are
actually lame kids like myself. Can we really trust people like me?? HAHA.
Having Faith is the key. As a small nation, I guess we really should just have the confidence
to move forward together and all play our part. Though I think that I'd be so much better
than my brother in many ways, he really deserve a lot of credit and I'm probably the
immature one. He hardly complains about how tough the trainings are, and I have this feeling
I'll be a whiny piece of shit who would at least rant to my family members at every chance
I can get. I used to laugh at his L1R5 of 13 too. Nobody likes a whiny immature brat right?
Going to man up.

Not sure if you even noticed but it's my birthday today. It's really of small significance to me
though. I'd never ever had a fancy party or celebration before and its like totally fine. Its
really the thought that count at times and I really think that only girls make a big fuss out of
birthdays. It's the 2nd consecutive year that I'd spent my birthday at ANOTHER school's
open house. A great thanks to those who came and had dinner too! With the balloons and
the shirt too (LOL). My mum bought a fist size cake for $6 as my birthday cake. I should
really just eat it for breakfast tomorrow.

My flight is in 6 hours, so I've got to sleep now. I'll post about the trip soon so do come
back after the 18th!

2012-01-05T00:55:00.001+08:00

This is going to be a short post.

Although my Basic Theory for driving is tomorrow, i seem more preoccupied learning
the guitar instead. Now, my tender fingers are sore, but I can play the C chord already.
Well, kind of anyway. Oh yes, I suddenly feel so ill-prepared for the test tomorrow.
Everyone said its going to be easy, but there are actually shit loads to remember. Maybe
I'm just expecting the worst as if its the As.

A double yellow line: No parking, immediate pick up only
A zigzag yellow line: No parking, immediate pick up only + fine + demerit point

So I can expect to park on the side of the road with the double lines safely?
And there is this series of pictures showing the traffic police officer doing various hand
gestures to guide the traffic in the event the traffic lights are out of order. It's ridiculous,
I really doubt anyone memorised the pictures, I would just follow the car in front of me.

Work starts on Friday and I've gotten some notes to study Japanese.
Maybe I should just enjoy this rare break. Doubt there will be anything like it ever again.

Edits*
I totally forgot what I wanted to post in the first place.

I went to run today.

and

Ministerial pay got cut by quite a significant chunk, but its still peg to the top 1000 earners
in Singapore.

Mrbrown: "I notice that ministerial salaries are still be pegged to the Top 1000 earners of
Singapore. Why not the lowest 1000 earners? You help the poorest, you make more."

Happy New Year everyone.

I guess the only difference between yesterday and today is that for most of us, our student
concession for transport had expired for we are no longer students. What a way to start a
day when you need to get home to sleep after playing for the whole night. The card reader
went *teet* instead of the usual *teet teet*. Its going to be expensive to travel now...

Today, I finally watched the Black Swan. I've been wanting to watch it for a long time now,
as all the comments about it really got me interested. How disturbing can a movie really get?
Well, the verdict is that I find it strangely amusing and its not that words cannot describe how
I feel. I'm just confused, I'm not even sure what I was feeling and what I was suppose to
take with me (ok let me try, its like you expect it to be very disturbing, which the movie tries
to, but had already anticipated it). Can someone even tell me what genre does it belong to?
The character that Natalie Portman plays ( ballet dancer) is basically just too stress and
pressurized be playing the lead role in their version of swan lake. This resulted her to become
psychotic. I'm sure she had to act confused and stress, but that was how i felt too during some
parts. Of course the confusion faded when the plot unfolds. I guess its a good watch,
you should check it out!

Also, I finally borrowed the guitar from Darren and already i faced my first obstacle. Intitally,
I thought that I could just practise all day till i perfected the simple chords first. The problem
now is that my most basic C chord sounds like wires vibrating instead of the melodious
ripple like strumming noise that its suppose to sound like, and I can't pinpoint what exactly
went wrong.

Ok I shall go to sleep now! Once again, Happy New Year!!

2011-12-31T13:44:00.001+08:00

New Year Resolutions:

1) Be nicer to people

2) Force people to be nice to me, jk (No.. seriously...)

3) Start running because my CCA provides negligible help in improving my fitness

-There is A div next year though, see who can feed Ah mah the fastest.

** WAHAHA, there's no PW!

4) Learn from that damn enthu guy in chem lecture, who shouts his question to

the lecturer in the Audi

5) Stop wasting time doing crap

6) Complete all homework

man, all these are just bullshit la, i wonder how many of them can be completed. I

remember my resolutions from past years and one of them included not speaking

Singlish. Oh well, haha.

After joining Tpjc, i realised i lost touch with the Chinese

Language. Now it takes me a while to read out something in chinese and more than

often there are times where i jam up because i cant express what i want to say. You

kind of know that the word is familiar but you cant remember what it is.

Cant wait for 2011 to fly pass!

It really did, 2011 did fly past.

Above is the unpublished 2011 New Year Resolution of the 17 year old me. The reason
for not appearing was the reasoning my some experts that say resolutions are less likely
to be fulfilled if one is to constantly brag about it. While it can be true as it usually end up
being NATO (no action, talk only), one would soon realise that if you dont even say it out,
you would forget about it TOTALLY, haha. ( which I did)

I was surprised I made no resolution pertaining to working harder, considering that I took
my A levels this year too.

Thinking back, I wasnt especially nice to anyone, nor did I barely make an effort to run.
I didnt participate actively in lectures, I wasted some time here and there and I certainly
did not complete all my homework. The only conclusion I can come to is that I'm still
not as motivated as I should be.

2011 hasnt been entirely kind on me. A levels is still one big question mark. As much as
I would like to think I did well, I hope I can just scrap past it too. One think I definitely
regret was not to use my time wisely to forge more meaningful friendships. I would always
jump at every opportunity to conclude that I'm a friendly person, with certain attributes
and characteristics that most people wish they had. Well, its really not that easy and
sometimes its hard to be self-aware. Things will change, we have to change too

Tampines Junior College was definitely never a Plan B and also not a Plan D or E.
I'd never even pictured myself to be enrolled into this college where I'd pass by many
times throughout my childhood. ( ok, I think I shall post more after collecting my
A level results as it would be most apt to do it then)

For the coming year, things must really be different. Plans must be made, schedules shall
be followed. I think I know what I want now and I shall proceed with this simple quote in
mind: To live without regrets. That is my resolution for the year 2012.

2011-12-28T21:11:00.002+08:00

This short break is great. Lately I have this urge to just stop working for good and enjoy
the rest of the break thoroughly as there might be no such chance in the future anymore.

So far, I've been catching up with the We Got Married (WGM) series and its really fun
to watch the YongSeo couple( yonghwa and Seohyun). Initially i thought it would be very
weird for Seohyun to be in a couple as she's just so innocent. Well, I mean it did but of course
it didnt last for long and its very interesting to see how the guy reacts to her unexpected reactions.

YongHwa: Wow, its great to see her. Are you jealous?
SeoHyun: Dont worry, I love her more than you do. ( refering to Ueno, some jap actress)

Seohyun is really the perfect girl. Not in the sense that she fits my ideal expectations, but she
is just flawless. Even if you managed to find a single one, you probably wouldn't even mention
it to her as you will just feel like you kicked some young puppy or something. She made me
more motivated too, i mean her favourite genre of books is "Self-improvement" and she learn
how to play a guitar in a month despite her busy schedule. Perfect reminder for me not to waste
this well deserved break.

Wouldn't it be great if you lived so meaningfully it could actually be written into a book?

Oh, on a more ridiculous note, I queued together with weien at the DBS branch for an hour
to create a debit cared, only to realise we had been in the wrong queue. To make things worst,
there is this handful of people in the queue that are there just to deposit money. So frustrating...

2011-12-24T18:17:00.001+08:00

Hey guys, I'm not sure how many of you actually keep up or have even watched Survivor,
but this season stinks. There were barely any ingenious strategies or just strategies for that
matter being laid out, barely any suprises and full of BS. Its really irritating when people
pull religion into a reality game where they pray together in a circle for strength to the
"supposed" enlightenment on who to vote out next. It gets so predictable after a while.

Besides that, I'm currently having my "Christmas break" now because the European countries
are also having their holidays and it's pointless to call them now! The festive seasons seem
to be of less significance and sometimes they just turn into " the day where the usual rituals
have to be carried out". This doesnt just refer to Christmas of course ( in fact I've never
really celebrated Christmas). The most ridiculous thing I've heard recently was that someone
called 冬至 (winter solstice) 汤圆day. Lets see how tomorrow turns out though!

Meanwhile I went out with the guys to Orchard recently and of course we had to check out
the Abercombie & Fitch store after the countless of photos that had flooded by Facebook
wall. Nothing much to comment about other that the intoxicating pungent cologne smell that
punches you in the face once you enter the store. The whole place is dimly lit too. Its as
though you've entered a night club, who knows what goes on after hours. Also, all I've got
to say about the A&F boys is they're overrated lah. They look just like another typical
Caucasian guy. We even had to queue to get in and it is the curious giggling girls that
contributes to the queue, only to realise that all the models are already gone.

Who ever said lonely had a negative connotation to it?

2011-12-19T23:25:00.004+08:00

There are times where I felt a certain way towards something and I want to make a post
about it, but I dont have the time to. When I finally do though, my thoughts are totally different
from before.

Initially, I wanted to say how awesome and nice the Japanese people are and how their courtesy
extends to the point where they refuse to put down the phone even when they cant comprehend
me at all. Well, I guess its still not as bad as the other countries.. but still...

I'm currently desperately trying to pick up Japanese to say something else than
" can you speak English?"Ok, I just ran the CD from my bro's Japanese textbook, expecting
colourful and helpful visuals, which led to much disappointment. It seems that it's only an audio
file, though it could be just that something is wrong, especially since god knows when i last used
a CD. The book doesnt have any English translation in it too.It gets really frustrating sometimes
because it shows pictures of people talking to each other and I'm like ???. Brings back memories
of my primary school days where you can't speak English in Chinese classes. I'm sure you can
pick up another language with such translations readily at hand, but I guess the tougher way allows
you to think Chinese, not think English and translating it in your head before speaking Chinese
which is definitely a disaster.

My job doesnt seem as rosy anymore too. I'm like sitting at my third desk today. Had to shift
once because that station has a permanent occupant which no one informed me about, and the
second hasa faulty phone. Thus I had to shift to the third as I can't just transfer the phone over
as someone might call this line. The upside is that this desk is kind of more spacious and even
has a "wrist rest" on the table. Many down sides include the phone produces static noises,
my in-charge is right behind me and the desk has also, a permanent occupant. I'm just going to
bring my own phone to work tomorrow.
I'm going back to learning my japanese now.

Something happened. I really thought I screwed up. But I really don't know now.

2011-12-15T23:54:00.003+08:00

My original intention was to focus on yet another bunch of funny replies I've gotten these days eg
Case 1: I'm already an old man, I'm closing down the company for good, you'd understand right?

Case 2+++: I sort of entered limbo with this endless bout of being connected to yet another person
and after awhile, I think I've heard every single "hold" tone out there. Well, at least some companies
had the decency to make the tones interesting and bearable, a great way for a tired telemarketer to relax.

Case 3: Apparently this staff of a company cannot divulge what seem to be the Company's top secret-
their product. It was literally:" I cannot tell you what we sell unless my boss gives the permission."

Ok, I will now focus on the office talk. You know how the cab fares have increased recently and it has
been the hot topic of discussion in the office all week. EVERYDAY this bunch of aunties would discuss
the price of their cab fare and just start complaining on a whole load of nonsense. The Christmas mood
seem to be in the air too with them discussing their upcoming party.
Received no invites from them at all =(

But today, the subject of the MRT (train) failing yet again came up. Initially i told Yanyee
(just completed Os) that the circle line broke down yesterday , not today as she narrated and that it
was old news, but apparently it broke down again.
This time however, the situation seem worse with a report on how someone smashed the glass or the
train door to allow air to enter the enclosed train. ( Again, when Yanyee told me this, I just assumed it
to be in some other country). Finally this:

Its so sad how this unfortunate incident had become an "income opportunity" for the taxi community. Granted that this message would serve as an effective signal to cabbies to sooth the traffic flow at
those regions, but they could've put it more aptly right? All this happening right after they increased the
cab fare on Monday too. I would only imagine how much it would suck to be the transport minister
right now.

I quote:
Tan Kok Tim

Tonight’s MRT train service shutdown is the first major test of our system ever since it started operations in 1987. Many commuters sat in pitched darkness in the trains stalled in the tunnels; some commuters walked on the tracks in the tunnels in darkness to find their way out; and a window of a train was seen to be smashed with a fire extinguisher to allow air into the stuffy train carriage. In times of tranquillity and orderliness, are we really prepared for emergency situations in the tunnels? Is the system up to mark to prepare ourselves for a major emergency when thousands of commuters are trapped in trains in the tunnels? No electricity, total darkness and no fresh air are situations that no one would like to be trapped in stalled trains in the tunnels, more so if there is a fire. Deadly smoke due to fire is the greatest hazard and danger to anyone trapped underground. Are we really ready when we are hit by a major emergency, or a disaster in the tunnels or for that matter in a deep underground MRT station? LTA/SMRT cannot be found wanting in their preparations to ensure there is adequate backups in the systems to ensure that not a single life will be put in danger when disaster strikes. I hope we will not be caught with: Failing to plan is planning to fail. This is an old saying that is relevant to those responsible for mass transit systems not just here but worldwide. They must not be caught flat footed.

It's so true. I've always been skeptical about the public warning sirens that goes of island wide during
Total Defence Day. I'm quite certain almost no one can differentiate between the sirens played.

Shall not dabble on how screwed the transport system is now, especially with enough complains out there
already and this is certainly going to be yet another topic for those aunties to talk about tomorrow.

Hi, it's against our company's policy to give you our email, is it ok if you give me yours instead?
I'll get back to you

2011-12-13T00:04:00.003+08:00

I'm totally spent from. That's right, I've not actually told you guys what I'm required to do, so here it goes!

With my own work desk, I promote products on behalf of my company by calling business clients. After making the call, I've to engage them and get their particulars so I can send them relevant information pertaining to my companies products. I also arrange for potential clients to sourcing fairs in Dubai.

Well, to put it simply, I have to just call up various companies to get an email so my company can send them an e-magazine, haha.

The job is definitely tough and boring. It kind of opened me up to the real corporate world, and it sucks.
It sucks that you have to be on a look out if anyone is catching you when you're slacking.
It sucks that you have to sit in the same spot the whole day.
It sucks that you have to stare at the monitor for so long.
It just sucks.

Our clients are actually all from overseas, so all the calls are actually long distant calls and there are many countries to call. The thing that really sucks is when you finally get a good number ( one that gets through)
but the person doesnt understand English.

A typical Spaniard: Si? Hola? blah blah quedo mi la so fa blah..

A typical Bangladeshi / Indian: Hello?... Hello??.. Hello?
They just go hello all the way when I ask them whether they speak English or not.
The only way to get them to stop saying Hello is to reply with Hello loudly too, haha.

This is one of those moments where you realise knowing more languages will be very helpful. I even went to google translate to obtain my " opening speech" in Spanish, but I realised I would just be stunned if they ask me a question. One question that often pops up is:" How did you get this number?" I this is actually a very good question, I've no idea.

There was one case where I asked this Indonesian if she understands English

Indonesian: 我不会说英语 ( I cant speak English)
Me: *smiles* 那么你会说华语对吗？(You can speak Chinese right?)
Indonesian: 我不会说英语( I cant speak English) *hangs up
Me : =.=

This job is totally uneventful and I feel like I'm just an automated machine sometimes. To top it of, I still have 300 numbers from India to go while Weien has a whole bunch of numbers from Malaysia and Singapore, while I have none. On the bright side, the week is ending soon, its Tuesday tomorrow!

I almost forgot this picture. I took it when they invited me backstage!

Ok, I'm officially a sone as of around 10pm after the concert. That is when I finally learnt how
to pronounce by asking a few random SNSD fans around.
After debating with Chua Hanyang and Tay Tingwei for a while,
I finally had the balls to ask around. We were really damn scared those handcore fans mob us, haha!

1st ( Damn KP guy ): *Stares* - pauses- So-wons
2nd ( Girl selling badges): I dont know, HOW COME YOU DONT WHEN YOU ARE HERE?

That was when i give up already, but i managed to find the answer on google and the 1st guy was right!

Well, this is not taken by me, but the concert was great! All 9 of them look fantastic in real life it's
really crazy!

Tiffany: She really look AMAZINGLY happy when she smiles and I love her bangs, haha
It makes it much easier to spot her! ( my hand is a little tired from all the waving just now!)

Jessica: Oh god, she's my goddess, but damn dao, walao! WHY YOU NO LOOK AT ME??

Hyoyeon: I feel slightly guilty about this, but I once ranked her as the obvious last in the group but
she's surprisingly very pretty in real life! Besides she was the friendliest of the lot and is always
waving at our direction. During the last walk about, I totally made a heart shape with my hands for
the whole time ( as according to what she had been doing for a few times) and I'm very convinced
she did it AGAIN looking straight at me and waved! Instant bonus points for her!!

SooYoung and Yoona: Their figures are crazy. Omg.

Taeyeon: Hanyang THINKS she waved and smile at him. Ok, she really did. ( haha hy)
There was also this crazy Taeyeon fan that jumps at any opportunity to scream her lungs out
when Taeyeon appears.

The rest: Damn cute, since we had terrace seats, I just kind of wave frantically when ANYONE
comes to our side, which is the right back of the stadium, which I think is pretty good already. It
would probably be more fun and exciting to be in the mosh pit ( stand in the area below the stage)
though, but nevertheless, it was a great night!

Strangely, I kind of prefer all their korean and group performance only. The Boys in English just isn't comparable to the korean version. They should also do solos in Korean too, then they cant skip the
lip synching!

Finally had my first concert and it was a great one. While we're not some SNSD siaos who spent $40
for a T-shirt ( or maybe that *^&$% fan scammed me so I wouldn't buy it), we had a good time.

I think my only regret for the night is to not overturn the rubbish bin to find some used bottle by the girls
and bring it home, HAHAHA. -I'm serious.

2011-12-09T12:24:00.001+08:00

I don't type haha to be friendly, i type it when i laughed.

2011-12-09T10:37:00.001+08:00

Hey guys, Qinhui and I went to the University Scholar's Programme talk in the NUS campus and
I can proudly said that we practically toured the entire NUS campus.

Well, I knew it would be tough finding that single building but never did i imagine it being this difficult..
We ended up taking 3 buses that meanders through the campus and thus covered most of it. Thankfully we
were just 15min late and I didnt really bother about the talk being given anyway.

The programme is not a scholarship at all and other than a free ticket straight into NUS and some interesting modules, there isnt anything else that I feel that is worth it. You have to pay for compulsory lodging and meals too, and the residential area is so inaccessible. It's not that easy to get in anyway with the strong competition
from students of other schools anyway. Oh man, I think I'd started to develop some inferiority complex.

Anyway, I've finally found a job and it starts at 2pm today. It's a telemarketing one. There is this feeling in me that tells me it's going to suck but hopefully it all turns out well. Sometimes when you are not looking for something, it is then they come flocking to you. I was out with my parents for lunch yesterday( before the talk)
and 2 persons called to ask if I'm still available for a job. One of this is Vanessa who WAS recruiting a retail assistant but she totally ignored me for the whole week and finally called me when I already found one. Well, i just hope it will be some fun/ easy job later on. Hope they pay for the dinner break too..

To end this off, my dad just bought an iphone ( with data plan), has an ipad and netbook, but when he just need to do something very simple on the net, he has to use my PC because it's easier and flares up because there are consequences if he presses something wrong. Haha, how can even i argue with him?

2011-12-03T23:54:00.001+08:00

My blog views spiked after my post yesterday! 9 HAHAHA

Thinking back, I've never really tried to get people to visit my blog before and I don't really know who are
my readers. I'm currently listening to the radio and it's really interesting when someone gets invited to share
their field of experience. For eg. this author married and dying man with both eyes open. She writes about
how we willful blindness and continue to live in disillusionment so as to not hurt ourselves.

Not sure if you had watched The Oath on channel 8, but every time ethical issues pertaining to the medical world surfaces, I find myself stumped too. Will you carry out an operation on a patient who "bought" the organ that is required for transplant? To make it even more dramatic, the patient is your significant other.

Sometimes i hate to admit this but I've a skewed stand on ethics. Not sure if I'm just extremely rational or cold hearted. But to be fair, I think I wouldn't mind dying to save many others. Life shouldnt be viewed as mere numbers right? What would you do if the time comes?

While listening to the radio AND typing this entry, I'm also reading my brother's elementary level Japanese textbook. Looks like i'm on schedule to meet my target of being ~~fluent~~ able to understand the basics of a few more languages. I cant activate the function to type Japanese. This reminds me, you see, I seem to be bombarded with all the different job options out there which varies from being a customer service officer at the jackpot (outlet?) at downtown east, relief teacher and retail staff. If you do a simple search on any job agency site, it seems that the basic requirement for most administrative job requires good knowledge of the use of excel, which is something that I severely lack. Thus i went on youtube to find tutorials for all the magic you can do with excel. Remember this, google and youtube are your best friends. You can always go to them for advise, haha. After doing more and more research, I've still yet to settle for a job this month. Why is this so hard?

What shall I do tmr? What shall I do on monday? What shall I do on tuesday?

2011-12-02T09:47:00.001+08:00

First of all, WOW. With the new blogger interface, my blog traffic is automatically tracked and I'm

utterly amazed that there are still people visiting my blog after all this time.

Perhaps I'll be starting to blog again with the end of A levels ( the initial excitement kind of ran out, but i'm sure

it will come back again pretty soon when i want to do something crazy). The papers were.. unique, it's not tough but the math paper 1 totally slaughtered me. I expected it to be hard after 4 years of easy papers but its ridiculous lah. I really felt that i tried my best this time round though, but i just couldn't help it with the usual careless mistakes. Really hope they were kept to a minimum this time round.

Ok, i just realised that I would have to summarise everything that have been going on or else no one would understand a single thing i would say next.

The handsome one is going to enlist on 7th may 2012, which means I've about 5 months to do whatever I want. While it may seem like a decent amount of time, i still feel kind of short of it. Get my driving licence, work, short trip overseas, meet up loads of old friends ( not that they are old), learn a 3rd , 4th and maybe a 5th language, HAHA. Ok that's a little overkill but you get the point. Its going to be hard to juggle everything

together, depending on the job that i take up too. Should I go for just the money or the experience? I'm even considering to be relief/ part time teacher. The pay is actually quite enticing and there are the times I just feel like talking and get paid to be listened to. Well, not that I dont have enough attention already though.

Oh, I'm currently reading <<那些年，我们一起追的女孩>> that i borrowed from Eugene WEE. The point

I want to get across is my Chinese standard is rubbish level now. It's not THAT bad but when I encounter a word its either (choose 2)

1. It looks familiar

2. I know how to it is read

3. I know its meaning

It's mostly familiar lah, but nothing comes to my mind at all. Doubt any of the guys in my JC class would be able to do any better though. A guy called Benedict replied a Chinese Telecommunicator: "我的华语很烂" . Most ridiculously funny joke I've heard in awhile, actually not really since I can laugh at anything.

Anyway I'm at chapter 2 and the only part that is similar to the movie plot is the repetitive use of 干.

Maybe just a few random things that happened all these while:

- My bro enlisted our first A level paper (chem p3), could smell his socks from damn far away.

- Some random teacher called the day before As, i didnt pick it up on time though

- I hope Drew win X factor.

- I'm quite thankful for not having the need to eat school food anymore.

Ok i need a paragraph for this. I really suspect my muscles have turned into fats or something. Not that I was very muscular but when I went out with the guys to play bowling the day before, I felt tired after a short while when using the ball purple ball i always use. My legs couldnt stand a 4 hour shopping session too. You guys know what this means right? I really got to train up on my shopping and maybe lifting watermelons at home.

- Need to train my mahjong too. Was on a Pinghu streak and won 3 marbles ( largest denomination and value amongst the other coins, where each person only had 1 marble) and my marbles slowly got traded away towards the end.

Shall continue in my next entry so stay tuned. I really hope the measly few who visit are really people I know or who at least know me. It'll be really sad if my readers are like from Botswana or somewhere in Africa, haha.

2011-07-08T18:31:00.002+08:00

Hey guys, just a short post.

SA2 is finally over, not exactly doing very well and i'm a little disappointed with my physics.

I know I didnt study for it, but failing it is still rather depressing.

A recap of recent events:

Of all the amazing movies this season, I only managed to catch Xmen which is rather pathetic, haha. I wanted to watch super8 and kungfu panda... I guess I can always torrent it after Alvls right? and Transformers and Harry Potter is kind of enticing. But there is just 122 days to go.

I really remember vividly once it hits 120 days, time seem to enter a whole new dimension and it just kind of speeds up and BAM, its As tmr, haha.

I did my NS med- checkup during the holidays too. Managed to get a Pes B status fortunately or unfortunately. I know its best to play safe and get a lousy Pes status for fear of getting into some diver or commando unit and who knows, my handsome face will just appear on the front page with headlines stating yet another NS man died. However, not getting an A will definitely make anyone feel a little inferior right? Oh i am a B-material only, nope not A, just a less than perfect B. But i guess it doesnt matter lah. The main thing am looking forward to in NS is to spend my time most wisely in any vocation and I wouldn't feel i'm wasting my life away. Of course monetary gains is also a factor, haha. Fyi, i think i've gotten a B due to the surgery done on my arm. I sincerely hope I didnt screw my IQ test too. The last thing I would want to hear is " oh you cant be an officer because you have an IQ of a 10 year old." I kinda read the wrong instructions for a few components lah... hahahaha

Also I think studies is a unavoidable topic when 2 JC student come together. I swear I hardly did time wasting activities during the holidays, but somehow my progress seem stalled and so unproductive. Really got to focus.

On a different note, I realise I really hate eating. I had the impression that I hated school food because its always the same few dishes and flavours but I'm finally enlightened. It sucks to be hungry but you dont want to put food in your mouth. I really dont know whats happening. I've already skipped lunch two days in a row and its just damn sian. Its the repetition of munching and chewing and swallowing, everyday. *Very random but i've brushed my teeth so many times so far and sometimes I cant even remember if i had brushed my teeth that day. And yes, i do brush my teeth daily.

Anyway I just spent 20min setting up a nuffnang account and to my dismay, cash payment will only be made if I clock up $50 which i doubt I will ever attain. Anyone know how it works anyway?

I must want to succeed as much as I want to breathe. ( it doesnt seem strong enough to compare it to food anymore..)

2011-06-05T22:04:00.002+08:00

WenJie's Cat theory.

Assume that you are an animal, lets say a cat.

You woke up, stretched and found food in the first hour of the day,

what are you going to do next?

Ok, this isn't really a theory, but i really wonder what do these animals do all day?

You really got to empathise with them to truly understand how your ancestors survived w/o

technology. I mean, wake up, plant food, then? Of course we assume these cats havent undergo puberty yet.

Anyway i've started to organise my GP notes and i realised there's literally a chunk of it. I'm suddenly in a Gp mood but there really isnt enough time..

2011-05-28T21:07:00.003+08:00

Whew, I'm back from college day @ TPJC and I so feel charged up.

Well, I managed to win Sim Hong Boon Award due to my promo result to be "exceeding expectation"- I wonder what is the expected grade for a 14 pointer. So the 4 of us were invited to join the rest of the graduates for our 24th college day ( though its our 25th Anniversary this year)

Of course those who did exceptionally well were only a handful, but seeing all of your seniors coming back to get their prizes was a real motivation for me. Just one thing that really irritated me was that a few guys came back from their BMT, and their stench was seriously...

Nevertheless, it was an eye opener and it really reminded me that if you want something, you better do something to get it. Like the Student of the year, the lousy O level results that I've gotten was obviously a motivation for be to prevent the same disappoint that i faced 2 years ago, but that motivation slowly died down as time passed. Its one of those wounds you hope it never heals. Coincidentaly, he's from AHS, it seems that AH alumni fared quite well over here in TPJC, so..

On a disappointing note, I really dont want to fault TPJC, in fact i should thank them but... from 3 awards, I've gotten 1 lame part 1 of a comic style story book, 1 memoirs of S Rajaratnam, and $250 worth of Popular voucher. The first book is not incredible depicts the life story of a primary school kid, similar to that of a mediacorp storyline. I doubt i will read the second, at least for now. Lastly, what the hell am i going to buy with $250 in popular? Say i enter army in January, I have only 6 months to spend it so... I should just be appreciated and shut my mouth right?

Bottom line is even if I dont do well in A levels, i dont want to be that heartwrenching regret.

163 days lets go!

2011-05-15T20:52:00.002+08:00

Why do guys have egos?

After taking part in the 4x400m sprint during sports day, I decided to just sit there and rest for

i was really exhausted. You would too right? It was then this whole bunch of girls came to ask me if i was alright, and of course i said i was. They eventually found a bottle of water for me. I look very handsome when i'm sweaty meh? haha, anyway this is from my point of view.

However on friday, the girls suddenly called out my name and waved to me so the truth is...

my friend told me that the girls told him i fell on to the floor and i seemed as if i needed help. Oh well, I'd rather have the benefit of doubt. Your mind tells you what you want to know right..

Anyway it seems i can stop running and train up, or rather not having to start doing them anymore as I have gotten my Gold for Napfa. The gold came as a pleasant surprise as i really didnt expect myself to run that fast. But looking back, maybe i should have try to get a Silver instead. Hopefully i wont get into some navy or commando unit, but why the hell do so many guys need to wear specs now.

2011-05-11T21:28:00.002+08:00

I'm both very proud and ashamed to tell you guys i finally headed a ball yesterday for PE.

Frankly speaking, i have no talent in sports. Be it in soccer, bball and even badminton. Thus, in my growing up years, though i had my fair share of enjoyment from sports, it was limited to the very few games that i played. If you're not good at something, you would surely not be involved in it right?

Sometimes i feel pressured when i'm in a circumstance where i'm needed to play and team members need to be chosen. However thankfully, there will always be some friends who do not abandon me, and most of the times i'd miraculously not get called last.

My experiences with soccer is far from many. Other than kicking the ball around in primary school with the other guys, i hardly touched a soccer ball since. AHS doesn't even have a proper soccer field and goal post.

The main point of all this is that my head hurts now from the " heading the ball" practise we did for PE when it rained yesterday. Not sure if its the technique that was wrong or what, but it kinda feel as bad as when a hole puncher was thrown straight at my head once. Maybe its just because i headed the ball too many times..really a lot of times..

On the bright side, there are a other things to be proud of too.

For e.g. Not only my late attendance was excuse today (there was a jam), I found out that i amazingly clocked 1 late coming for the whole term when it should be 3 instead!

and next, i'm kind of satisfied with Chem Spa today.

2011-05-08T17:30:00.002+08:00

The elections are over, the cooling day is over and today is sweltering hot.

It seems more people around me are getting more interested in politics with the recent watershed election. Though many cant even name you our education minister and the other cabinet ministers, I still think youths are getting interested in politics now.

The workers party finally made a breakthrough, not only winning a long awaited GRC, but also retaining it's hougang stronghold. What all these mean for Singapore would slowly be unfolded in the coming days, and i certainly hope both the Pap and the WP would continue to serve the people well, and serve Singapore in our best interests.

Yesterday night was really exhilarating as one by one, the results were announced by Yam Ah Mee with his distinct and absolutely hilarious monotonous voice."Pursuant to Section 49, Subsection 7E, Paragraph A of the Parliamentary Elections Act, I declare ..."

It was a really close fight for many constituencies, especially JooChiat and Potong Pasir, where Mrs Chaim lost by a razor sharp margin of 114 votes.

Life goes on regardless who won, hopefully for the better.

On a side note, there is only 183 days left to go, and not only have i not gain any momentum, i'm starting to slow to a halt. Am at a lost now on what to study because there seems to be so many things to do. Got to plan things out and start early before history repeats itself.

2011-05-02T21:52:00.005+08:00

I finally attended my first election rally.

The elections are around the corner and the media has been blasting all day round about the elections and the debates. Even a drive around the estate and you'll have your face plastered with PAP's or the opposition's posters on the lamp posts. With this big hoo-haa going on, I definitely cannot give the rallies a miss.

I went to the Worker's party rally for NeeSoon GRC at Yishun Stadium by taking 39 and i was really looking forward to it since I was at NEX and conveniently missed the Serangoon rally 2 days ago. There is no need for me to describe how hot and packed the stadium was with the 10,000 strong crowd.

It was really very disappointing when the WP's umbrella were sold out. I know it's extremely retarded to buy one since i would probably not use it, but still... BUT i also just realised that the flags that many people have have to be bought for $2.tsk. I bought one lah, lol

All i can say about the rally is that it was as if i was at some concert. People all around me were cheering for the WP for the whole WP and boo-ing every time a minister or the PAP was mentioned. I guess it is very crucial to remain rational at such rallies because the hype and unanimous cheers will really distort your perception and rational thinking. 2 secondary boys beside me were like chanting "W..P..! W..P..". They know what they are rooting for a not? Of course i tried to move away to refrain from being associated to them. Either they got brainwashed or they really really genuinely support wp.

There are 3 types of people you would definitely want to stand next to during such rallies:

1. Those that fan themselves like mad

-well, you stand to enjoy the much needed breeze, damn hot man

2. Interracial friends

- they would conveniently translate everything for you. The speeches were in Tamil, Malay, Hokkien, Cantonese, Chinese and rarely English. It's really boring if you dont understand the speeches. The crowd turned damn restless when the malay speech was carried out, there were practically no malays beside me.

3. Most importantly- uncles who shout random stuff

-dont underestimate them because they are the ones who liven up the whole rally. One point to note is that you better understand your hokkien. Every time this uncle shout something in hokkien, EVERYONE around me laughed, except one Indian man and me. Damn paiseh, so I'll brush up my hokkien skills in 5 years time.

Now comes the most foolish thing i did the whole day. Once i left the stadium, the bus stop right outside was packed. Like any rational bus commuter, i decided to walk to the previous bus stop to guarantee myself a place on the bus, that bus stop was really, really FULL. I eventually walked to the previous-previous stop since the previous one was packed too, but i was cheated.

When my 39 reached the stadium bus stop, a pathetic group of 4 people boarded and there the bus was still spacious, with seats too...

I'm looking forward to polling day and how the elections turn out. I beg to differ if you think I'm just overly concerned about the elections as it is really our future that is being decided here. I take no political stand for now but it is very interesting to hear different views on the same matter. Thanks to SS, you dont see things at face value anymore. There seems to be so many hidden agendas in every move people take. WP's LeeLiLian mentioned that the senior citizen's ezlink fare only applies to a certain time frame, and she says PAP is controlling what time they leave and reach home. Though this isnt really what i mean my hidden agenda( or maybe...) I know its a little wth, but i never even heard of it before

I see no point in putting my politcal stance here but i hope it is all for Singapore's brighter future.

I really think i should get a DSLR, there were so many photographers at the rally, sian

On a different note, my dad thought nail polish removers were to remove fingernails.

Dont ask me how.

2011-04-28T22:49:00.002+08:00

I am very proud to have dismantled my Desktop into it's components and kept all

of them our of sight.

My study desk looks very empty now and even it seem like a condusive place to study.

Yes i know the irony here... I've put this netbook here and i'm distracted by it already, haha

But on the bright side, its small and hard to use, so i wouldnt stay online for long so...

Have been really busy lately, I hope the momentum starts to build up soon. Truth be told, our school seem like a good place to study in. At the very least, i wouldn't take naps and waste time after school.

I seem to be not able to sleep in class anymore, i didnt have such a problem in Mrs Liang's bio class.

Tomorrow's the wedding, next week's polling day and

194 days to go.

2011-04-23T23:03:00.002+08:00

Dear friends, one thing i overlooked when i took down my tagboard is that i wouldn't know
if my blog is dead, as the tagboard is usually the tipping point, or rather the only way to know.
Nevertheless, I still find pouring my thoughts out here to be satisfying.

Today I witness another milestone a couple's marraige, which is actually just the very first step.
It is my Uncle's wedding. Some background info here, I come from a rather mid-size family with few uncles and aunts and the only cousins I have are finally studying in Secondary School and they are not even direct cousins in the first place. This uncle though relatively distant ( we're not even blood related in the first place-long story), but we're still rather close.

Wedding dinners can be a bore at times, but today's was certainly not your normal wedding ceremony at some restaurant and I was impressed. Firstly it was held in a -story hall at the Botanics Garden where it was probably used as some fuction room by the British in the past and the front porch was filled with flowers, a no brainer there. It's beautiful lah.

Secondly, my uncle works in the theatre/acting/ media industry, so everything was very well planned. The band and singers were his friends, they had a real spotlight and those coloured stage lights operated by professionals- his friends too, the design & flowers were done by his friends, the food, and lastly you know those typical lame wedding videos shown during the dinner, his video editor friend made it so well, it was as though i was watching some television programme with terific sound and visual effects, it looked like a music video especially when the content seemed directed and well planned.

At first the whole concept looked like xiaxue's wedding, very modern and not the usual ( yes i think those wedding dinners in hotels are very boring), but later i realised the person singing for us was actually some woman who appeared with xiaxue in her guide to life vids before, the April fool prank on her one.

I really think girls with make up are damn scary. Sometimes when you see some chiobu, or rather a chiobu with makeup, then you tell yourself, really chio a not arh? It just screws your whole perception up. Have i mentioned i saw this cute looking girl, ok she's probably 20, but the point is she was jogging away from me, so ok lor, i continued my jog too. But the second time she ran past me again, and i realised her foundation or powder or whatever it is on her face was smudged by sweat, and it turned white. Make up does wonders right? No wonder Ris Low looks a little chio from some angles, though no one has agreed with me yet, hahaha

yuuuuuum seng.

2011-04-14T22:13:00.003+08:00

Ok, thanks mengling for the edits. Through the years, i've gotten so many different people to help me edit my blog and i feel so helpless after blogging for .. i have no idea how long i've been

blogging for, haha.

As you would probably would have notice the new feature in my blog, as of now it stands at 208 days to A levels. If my memory did not fail me, i remember how the counter quickly decreased

to 100 days, then 50 and the next moment it's O lvls, constant half life, haha. ( I really like to

inject some random knowledge we pick up in school into conversations, but please dont harp on it and actually think if it makes sense)

Its as of chem Paper 3 btw, not sure about your combi though

Anyway I bought some bubbletea from GongCha yesterday and I was still disappointed.

That still, implies that its my second time already and the drink tasted weird, and somehow

they like to put copious amounts of pearls that are tasteless. I really suspect they gave me a cup of 0% sugar bubble tea by mistake. Either that or I have to get one with 100% sugar the next

time round, assuming there is one.

Lastly, for the record, its 贡gong4 茶， and not gong3

2011-04-14T21:05:00.003+08:00

I remember doing some personality quiz somewhere (maybe DISC profile) which mentioned that

i tend to support the underdogs. I find it true.

I've really no idea why people hate Friday so much, dont like it? Dontwatch/ play it lah,

i think a study should be conducted why humans like to order shit and then complain that

they get shit. Her Friday has more dislikes than Bieber's Baby and its barely up for 2 months.

Actually, i find the song very catchy and well.. pleasant, haha. Its not really that bad right?

The best part is when i try to sing it, no one can say that i sound horrible,

cause its exactly how Rebecca Black did it in the MV.

Its hard being a Yesman.

2011-04-11T23:29:00.002+08:00

Following up my previous post, we received the carbon copy of the comments

made my our beloved mrs Chan-tan siewying on our project, together with

the notes taken by our Oral presentation and WR evaluation.

It all sounded very positive, well, of course they should and would pick out

the positive stuff right? but our project seemed to come across as very

well thought out but just not creative. Surprisingly the comments on The WR

as a whole was good though, my OP comments look damn impressive too,

i spoke with conviction, haha. I guess the crux was my PI and EOM, totally

rubbish and irrelevant.

The vice principal talked about Strategies employed by us students to study

today, which i found it very interesting and relevant, not only to us though.

If you talk monotonously year after year, trying to urge your students to

work hard, it wont really make any difference right.

I came to a conclusion that you will only achieve something if you want it.

Time management? Consult tutors? you will automatically do all that if you

want your results badly right. ( my usual self lecture).

Very disturbed when i read facebook comments that says

" I am so glad my hardwork was worth it"

i should put a counter up on my blog to a lvls right?

2011-04-08T22:07:00.006+08:00

During times like these, i really wonder why I'm even online.

Everytime i turn my computer on, i realise i have nothing to do,

and not before long, i turn it back off.

Of course, the cycle repeats an hour later.

Projectwork results are finally out, it finally closure to all of us.

My PI was about encouraging people to exercise

GPP was about getting people to lose weight ( 1 idea for youths, 1 for all)

EOM, we used some dancing thing ( for poly students to lose weight)

WR, we finally settled with preparing poly students to be fit for NS

It was a rollar coaster ride. One where our own PW teacher tried to fling us off

to make sure we died. I was actually quite happy with a B already bah,

and it seems timothy and I were the only one smiling our asses off.

Wenjie:" XD"

Hypothetical Guy A: "eh siao arh you, you get 90rank point for A lvls isit?"

Wenjie :" No lah, i get B for pw XD"

Amidst the euphoria surging through me,

i swear i felt a sense of disappointment, all the "what if"s surfaced.

Ok lah, i wasnt THAT happy lah, but still.

Well i guess it's just the TPJC spirit, in our PE HOD's own words,

"Our track and field team took part in................. AND .....................

they displayed good sportsmanship"

I guess we gave our best ( actually not really), and thats all that matters,

for now. at most AAA/AAB right?

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

P.S i just drank this damn nice sweet potato soup my mum made.

2011-04-05T21:40:00.002+08:00

I knew i was not paranoid when i heard my kitchen sink vibrate

vigorously that night. My brother experienced it too.

You see, i tend to and like to walk around my house in the dark and

if i ever required to get something in the kitchen, i will just leave the

lights off.

So that very night, it started to vibrate, like there's someone banging

it loudly, of course i rushed to turn the lights up right, but its stopped

as quickly as it came. I told this to my mum before but she say i was

just scaring her, but my brother heard it too! weird? ikr.

i suspect i got 3rd ear

I guess my SA1 results are still ok bah, but i feel so lazy these days

its probably the weather, i just feel like sleeping.

My eyes are already protesting, i look like i applied

eye shadow/ eye liner and it smudged.

Student A: Playing with Phone

Student B: talking

Student C: Sleeping

Wenjie: Attempting to put on C's spectacles,

and i'm the only on to get scolded.

On rare occasions when i give her my undivided attention,

wenjie:" why are you looking at the clock?"

Well, maybe not totally undivided attention lah, but i guess it was

only a glimpse. I love Mrs.Lee, oh yea, she gave us a $2 Hongbao

for CNY, i guess we're even now.

2011-04-01T21:57:00.002+08:00

Haha.

2011-03-30T22:55:00.002+08:00

I think I had already posted this video in one of previous entries,

but it is really inspirational and its so relevant now.

No, its not really about not to give up in life, and to work harder,

but I tried to go for a short run yesterday on my own because PE

was cancelled, and it really turned out to be a very short run, haha.

In my defence, its been weeks since I even exercised my ass, but

still, what are the chances that MINDEF sent me a letter to

ask me to book my medical appointment. Fate much.

Back to the video, Dick Hoyt raced around the world with his son

on his back, unwavering, persevering and very touching. Video

games had kind of make me craft this mentality that your life

should be perfect, and there is always the restart option if its not.

But that is so wrong.

I mean, I always save before I fight the gym leader, but you cant

in real life, can we really accept the challenge and brave through it.

I'm not sure I can though.

Okay, better do something about the less then stellar results and

work hard. I like to do these type of self-encouragement but it

hardly works, haha. tsk.

2011-03-24T01:21:00.003+08:00

March Tests are finally over, CTs/SA1/MBT whatever you call it.

Actually there's still physics, but it doesnt count so.. =)

Just a little disappointed, i think i screwed most of the topics taught

last year, so it suggests i have to revise/relearn everything.

Why doesnt the information just retain and gets internalised right?

Am i confused?<- see, that means i'm confused right?

Respect for the Japanese

2011-03-14T22:48:00.006+08:00

I'm really impressed by the Japanese,

I genuinely hope... (how shall i put it)... they come out of this stronger than ever.

and from the reports and pictures from the news, I'm sure they will.

This 9.0 magnitude Earthquake was nothing compare to the Sichuan earthquake

or the 2004 Aceh Earthquake.

Sure that the Japanese are more ready and experienced,

but its how they managed the whole situation AFTER the quake that impressed me.

People were patiently walking home, queuing up at convenience stores orderly,

no mobbing no looting, its a far cry from the other nations.

There was a report saying that an old woman apologised to the rescue workers

for the inconvenience caused to them, and to hurry up, to help the others instead,

all this while her ankle was crushed. This putting others first instead of one's self

attitude is immensely heartwarming.

This link here shows what is happening in the grounds of the affected areas,

and when you know strangers are either encouraging you, or even

offering you assistance, in such a crisis ,you really start to reflect.

Bus stop mini episode:

It was freezing and bus was taking ages to arrive. “@saiso” left the queue to run to a nearby pharmacy.

He bought heating pads and gave one to everyone in the queue!

It's freezing in Japan? I beg to differ. With so much love and compassion shown

there, I'm sure its the warmest place on earth right now.

We need to embrace this attitude that the Japanese have. It is so

rare to come across a country when at a time of crisis that

they do not take excess rations, or simply honk madly in a traffic jam.

I believe in paying it forward instead of returning the favour.

One friend said something that really hit home.

Why are we caring for the strangers in Japan, yet neglecting the

close ones around us... yes, we hope that they will be safe,

but liking that facebook page isn't really going to help right?

So let's either donate

( Japan's developed, so i doubt there will be donations...)

, or simply start being more caring to those around us

2011-03-05T23:37:00.004+08:00

I really want to be extremely happy 1 year from now.

I really dont want to end up helpless and full of regrets as usual.

Those people who had scored well are receiving comments like

" You deserved it, you worked hard." and somehow it doesnt

resonate with me at all.

The way we quantify working hard is a little screwed up in tpjc,

i think thats the main problem leh. I dont feel like i'm working

harder than what i did for O levels at all and that means I

on my way to being screwed upside down again.

I dont want to screw up and then comfort myself that all is not

lost, I really cant lose this time round.

Obviously aiming all As first right?

I'm willing to compromise slightly though, haha.

I really need some Obama-ish mantra like Yes I Can!

Oh yea, I'm so not going to travel all the way from tekong to go tpjc

and find out my results suck.

Mrs Lee will probably say something like

" hai.. wenjie ...(insert depressing quote)" ,so no way.

No is the strongest word besides Yes. So my mantra is going to be

No wenjie! its going to remind me to stay focus and stay away from

rubbish available everywhere.

oh yea

Happy Birthday weien, haha, and chunkit!

2011-02-22T22:37:00.003+08:00

I really respect people with good listening skills.

We have 2 ears and one mouth for a reason.

Do you know that once you begin to notice and recognise someone,

you seem to see that person everywhere?

Also, it is so common that I can safely say,

i swear there will be news on some pedophile/ father abuse children

news again. Its getting irritating.

And to think about it, if i get into a coma, I think I'll just not wake up forever.

I doubt I'll have the willpower to wake up.

I'm just bored right.

**edits-

I realise i tend to post rubbish here when i lock myself out of facebook.

Of course it doesnt last long la. Hope it does this time though.

2011-02-15T19:31:00.003+08:00

Wow, school is getting more demanding now, and I'm really thinking

my eye bags are going to be there forever

** For the NCC orientation performance when I was sec 1, we all had

to put Camo( the face paint) on our faces. It worked like a lip stick then

and i swear it expired.

Firstly, it was olive green, totally unlike

the sec 1s now who had nice looking watermelon faces.

Secondly, it took me ages to use hand soap to get it off.

The point is, after washing off the paint, I kept rubbing my eyes, because

there was a dark patch under it, and i realised it was my eye bags.

Random? ikr. But still, how to get rid of them arh?

Today is Total Defence day and the combat engineers aka bomb disposal

squad came. They all look like engineers if you get what i mean.

And they made a robot travel 50m for 5min, another 5 min for the robot

to open a suitcase, and another 5min for the personnel to"diffuse" the bomb.

But it's still quite interesting lah.

Anyway Sharon's leaving our class, goodluck to you! I know you will see this!

I'm sure we'll miss you.

Of course there's still facebook, so... haha

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.

When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods,

you will understand why I dismiss yours.

-Stephen Roberts

I'm really not interested to debate if there is a god, or whose god is real,

but that is quite interesting right?

2011-02-07T23:24:00.001+08:00

I just realised my previous post is bullshit although thats how i probably

felt at that point of time lah, i mean who likes to be alone, what a loser,

haha.

Sometimes only lah.. lol

2011-02-05T23:29:00.002+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year everyone.

This year, we (my bro and I) had gotten older and we're getting more

common topics with our younger uncles/aunties.

Also, our cousins are finally in Secondary school, so cheers to me, haha

I've no cousins that are within my age group so CNY is largely a bore at times.

One thing I always wished for was to be outgoing and spontaneous.

I dont even the slightest shred of memory telling anyone of my friends

"Hey, lets go...", even if I did, I doubt I would want to later on.

I feel lazy, I'm not exactly an outdoor person, not into computer games

or even music. To me its tiring to like something. True story.

"I want to want it" Sometimes I want to to be really spontaneous,

but something is in me that tells me that its artificial and its not really

what i am, if i do it. Then again, I want to.

Maybe all this free time is screwing my head up. I guess some problems

are actually non-existent until you have loads of time. You start

conjuring them out of thin air. eg" everyone hates me" or " I'm fat"

if all of us just stfu and have more things on our hands, maybe

those problems would not be problems.

Oh what the heck, I wanted to type more but i really attribute

all this bullshit to be coming out due to me having too much time.

Ya' know, if you're reading this you're one hell of a bored person too,

Happy chinese new year.

I like to be alone. Sometimes... most of them time...

not like i want it though.

2011-01-28T18:58:00.002+08:00

The new J1 batch have finally joined the TPJC family.

Other than ONE cute girl i spotted, somehow almost everyone else look

the same to me.

I can still vividly remembered how sian i was exactly one year ago,

and i can safely claim that most people would feel the same way.

People who know me would probably be well aware of how bad my 赖床

habit is. Strangely as it seems, for at least the first 2 months, I did not.

Reason: The moment i wake up, reality sets in and i suddenly remember

where i'm going 1 hour later and i will feel semi-pissed, and i'll just get up.

Of course all is well now, with our class getting livelier.

One thing i pondered for quite a while was, was it

I who refuse to accept the fact or is this place really so lousy?

Again, there is no black and white answer to it.

Hopefully the juniors find this place more welcoming than i did.

The teachers are really going all out to convince us to start studying, madly,

and something hit home. It's one of those " Oh yea," moments, haha

** I find solitude in being alone.

I realised what i like most about swimming its a lone sport,

one where you can't hear things around you,

you don't have to talk,

and you clear your mind or crap.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be alone sometimes right?

Damn random, but i saw a monk buy Shampoo the other day.

2011-01-20T20:37:00.004+08:00

I'm quite curious to know my blog traffic, haha.

Edit: I realised i had a lot of typos!

Hey guys, its almost into the second week of the school term. Everything is kind of

similar to last year, with the exception of 8 new classmatesin our class. It's really

tough to know them better as we often segregate ourselves subconsciously or maybe

even consciously.

There was a period in the past when i thought i was friendly but i guess its not exactly

true. Its like I dont mind chatting, but I'm lazy to start conversations, assuming I know

what to talk about in the first place.

Other than small talk which often end up in awkward pauses, there isnt much

interaction anymore.

**Sometimes you got to make the first move right? You know humans tend to always

follow others rather than leading/ setting examples. Unless you do something really

really stupid, people would usually just follow suit/accept what you did, assuming

that its ok. For eg, you go on stage and sing upon request ( regardless if its nice or not)

unless you behave like a ostracized weirdo, people will just laugh it off and not really

think much about it. Although it may be a great deal to you to step forward, the rest

would generally not care.

Easier said than done though, haha. It is so sad we must care so much about what

people think of us.

TED is really a great platform for exchange of unique ideas and is really interesting.

Singapore is so boring because we all refuse to shed our inhibitions and simply do

something about it. Or maybe i'm just not part of that wilder side, haha.

FYI, i meant this blogpost to be about how indecisive i am, so much that i think i have

a phobia in shopping. But i realised i should just stfu and go do something about it.

2011-01-17T23:01:00.003+08:00

Stop complaining and start doing something about it.

Rectify not justify.

2011-01-13T00:20:00.003+08:00

Hey guys, sorry for the drought of posts, I'm really busy lately.

Someone recently turned 18th. And after a day into the 18th yea, he doesnt really feel

any different, haha. I still stand by my stand that January Birthdays are very weird as

the new year comes so fast, if people do not remind me, i might probably forget about it myself.

Like when people told me on facebook why i didnt tell them that it was my birthday, when

i was saw them early, i genuinely forgot, haha.

Well, this is considerably the most random birthday ever. Spent after school hours at TJC and

i really feel its much more vibrant compared to our recently trimmed school (bushes

around the compound was shaved off). Maybe it was the open house, but it seemed everyone

was doing something, you hardly see people just sitting there doing crap like what almost

everyone do in TPJC. Thanks to eugene, hanyang, weien, qinhui, yunxuan for having dinner together too, especially during the hectic first week of school.

Really want to say a Big Thankyou to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday. Relatively

happy compared to last year's i would say.

Its only the third day of school and i'm extremely exhausted. I really doubt its because i have

not tune back and get back to the mood, but rather it will just get worse as stuff will pile up.

Some things the school say makes you very worried too. But of course

EVERYONE IN UNIVERSITY, so perseverance is key. I got to stop encouraging other

people and self-motivate.

havent really be on track with my new year resolutions, so i'll keep trying! my fat ass got the better of me today. My legs died while running 1.2km, and my back cramped after doing pullup

Maybe its old age hor? haha

Lucky i didnt buy 4D yesterday, i wouldnt have win anyway

2010-12-25T15:17:00.002+08:00

Happened to come across this video, real nice.

I feel like posting bout my trip soon, but i'm feeling extremely sluggish right now

because i'm finally staying home the whole day since i came back, and i really need this break.

On a lighter note, kailiang came back and it was great seeing him again, he's as good as a friend

could possibly get. Pity it was such a short visit.

I better start my work soon, but i'm picking up jap, haha!

2010-12-14T22:17:00.003+08:00

Hey there!

Found this video quite interesting, it sums up our year quite nicely,

though i don't like the part showing who died, because i don't even know a single one

of them. Nevertheless, good summary.

2010 is coming to a close, at such an incredible speed too!

If time flies like an arrow,

Fruit flies like a banana.

xiaohui do you even come here?!

I hate how time flies, i rather it crawl and let me be bored to death.

I'd tend to still write 2008 for the date on homework, I know i skipped 09 too, but

its not like i want to right. and oh man, army in a year.

I'm not really sure why i seem to be the only one uptight about this, maybe it's because

the magnitude of A levels somehow outweighs NS, but its really one year le leh!

Those one year our senior is slowly streaming and making their way into the Army bunks

right now. Especially if those Jan babies get in first, I'll get days after A levels leh.

Ok, i guess i have loads of time to emo for that later on.

I kinda realise i'm 18 in 1 month. ( not hinting anything la)

Well, technically I cant really say I'm not jealous of thus people who get loads and loads

of stuff for their birthday, but it irritates me ttm when they blog/fb:

Thanks 148 people who smsed me and 200 people who tagged on my wall,

followed by a pictures of all the presents. justsayin'

A perfect birthday for me( wth*hinting here*) is really just a cake with

friends and family around you just to celebrate it leh. Gifts bring a different joy compared

to having people remembering you and celebrating with you. I rather a muffin with a candle

than like say... some thing else lah. lol ( sian, i went to check, my bdae 2nd day of sch...)

This thoughts came after how i was trying to recollect my birthday last year,

because it seemed like a lost fragment of my memory. Alas, i remembered it was Olvl day

No offense to some lah, but 14 really... and when i'm stoning there feeling shitty,

some people came up with wish me happy birthday. That, is really hurting, you should try it

someday. No celebrations with anyone leh, come home to emo too. haha

My brother didnt even dare to laugh at me ( he laughed the next day though)

Along the line of birthdays,

Orginally it came verbal wishings,

then card greetings,

then phone calls,

then sms-es

then facebook wishes

Of course as in goes down the line, the purpose of the wish is diminishing.

Therefore i make an effort to SMS someone after facebook notified me LOL.

Maybe i should try calling next time for some people..

Yes, you may get 500+ wishes on facebook,

but you'd rather get 1 call from him/her right...

Will be off to Taiwan .. i want to get out of Asia ( OMG, a lot of countries in asia got A)

*ignore me, haha see you soon.

50 years down the road, i'll be telling my grandchild some lame joke or story...

2010-12-11T20:23:00.002+08:00

Life's much slower, for now at least.

No rushing to meet deadlines, no dealing with troublesome people.

and i'm literally forcing myself to sleep at times, haha, like 10am is too early,

so, i'll just lay around in bed till 12pm.

After countless of i hate tpjc rants, i realised i probably missed out a lot...

After watching Yes-man, it kinda reminded me how much opportunities i could have

grabbed and enjoyed it fully.

There was the Vietnam trip, India trip, even the Germany trip that cost $1400!

Well, initially i wanted to try the India trip, but i didnt, because most that went were strangers

i think there were only 2 guys? I'd probably tried it out though.

and then came the Germany trip, really enticing, but they only informed us 1 month before

the actual trip. A little rushed yea, but that sly bitch kept saying we were not substitutes,

which was odd ( i kinda expected it, so i asked). and the Turban teacher came in later on

and told us that we were. Cant they just be frank? haha. Gave that opportunity to

2 enthusiast who were damn excited, another opportunity lost.

Now i kind of regret not getting a post in Interact Club.

Its really a bad habit of mind to wanna change something, but not really doing anything for it

Always taking the backseat yet complaining, hahahaha. Oh yea, i pon the interact camp too.

MAYBE i should have tried it out.

Should have been more active in AHS' student council too.

Damn, going to stop NOT doing things that i would probably regret and this includes not

working my very best for As, i'm bloody not going to sit around and do nothing and

eat my own shit when they return results for As.

No more regrets. Happy Birthday~

2010-12-09T00:34:00.004+08:00

THIS is a post i wanted to post last month, but realised it was superbly retarded->

I kind of reckon i'm one of the most boring people out there. Well, I'm not exactly saying I will bore you to death by sitting next to you but I lack passion, I lack something to attach to in life.

Note* I'm not talking about talent here, although i would always brush the bullshit that we are all talented in one way or another, but most people like to do something, anything.

It can be doing certain sports, listening to music, singing songs, gambling, shopping, drawing,

geeky computer stuff, reading. But somehow nothing really captures my attention.

It's really not my fault i see a ball in front of me and i dont feel like kicking it/ bouncing it,

I dont even store music on my computer, although i do occasionally open songs that kinda appeal to me, but see, What is your hobby? is the worse question to ask me.

Using the computer? its more of a subsitute than something that i enjoy.

It almost pains me to post about nothingness.

BECAUSE

I suddenly fell in love with plants. So I'm going to be some part-time gardener next time.

I cant even mention a favourite animal..

Chio right?

actually i cant believe myself too, because i was surfing this Gardening forum

still cant believe i luo dao zhe ge di bu... but i also realised that there are huge loads of

varieties of plants. Actually i wanted to be a farmer... to grow my own food, eat the food

and just sleep and the cycle repeats. Spent most of your time with your love ones...

Farmers arent that bad what.. xin ku a bit lah, but still...

its damn man to grow plants de k...

2010-12-03T00:38:00.003+08:00

If you've been following this barely alive blog, you'd probably know that i have these

type and delete tendencies. My "previous post" was about how i'm absolutely not

passionate about anything, from sports to music to shopping to playing computer games

which i only regard it as only something for me to do to pass the time.

See, I've fallen into the common trap of ranting and not thinking of solutions. Although I've

no idea how to deal with being passionless, haha, but oh well, I guess i have to search for

that special thing i love to do. Not to be confused with talent though, just something i love

to do, because I am really hardly passionate about doing anything.

Went to Mahjong with Alvin, Chua, wilfred, and surprisingly or rather the lack of surprise,

wilfred lost the most $$. I'm actually quite satisfied with how i fared already although

its just a measly $1.20 win. Alvin would probably forget about paying me though.

The only time i FEEL like gambling is either when i'm on a winning/losing streak.

Yes of course, when you lose, you want to earn everything back right?

Ok lah, i just found something that would probably be my interest, i like to listen other

people's experiences. I hate reading books though, but i really like to read about how people

feel and think. I can probably spend the whole day doing this i guess.

(sadly no one blogs these days, or i probably cant find your blog because no one update

their linking list)

Everything could have been better right?

Chances are to be vied for and created, so...

2010-11-29T20:31:00.003+08:00

School's out and i'm re-reading Harry Potter,

strangely, i feel enchanted by it as i suddenly feel like studying, i know its crazy but...

Spent my Saturday fruitfully with Chua @ The Sentosa to earn some $$,

and it's my fourth job so far. (it was great, but could have been better)

We were suppose to work at the banquet part of the hotel resort,

but eventually we had to make do with working as a waiter/plate clearer at the buffet section

of the resort. No qualms, in fact i was much happier, you see, i always wanted to work in

these buffet/ FnB jobs, you can 偷吃, haha.

The place was great, not your typical Sakae Sushi branch or hotel dinning area,

its those quite posh restaurant where the ang mohs dine with manners.

Although its not that extreme, but nevertheless, quite intimidating especially if you are

working there for the first time and don't know a shit.

So the bastard manager(will be explained later) assigned me to this private room to serve those

there, not VIPs but business associates , 20 altogether sitting along the whole stretch of tables.

and suddenly someone popped the question,

Customer: " What wine do you recommend?"

Justin: "ummmm..."

( Yes, thats my name for the day,i have a badge for it, you know those waiters always have badge de right.. always dao my manager cos i forgot bout my name, haha)

Well, the manager came into the room and i was saved.

On the whole the experience was great, everyone was so busy with their own job that

you really have to learn as you go, like where do they keep the cutlery,

how to tell the difference between, tea, mint tea, green tea...

how to produce creamer from fresh milk...

what is a finger bowl/bath ( the bowl with lemons to wash hands)

and a whole load of stuff.

and i'm more understanding of people working in the service sector now,

you know the times when they take forever to get the job done?

While trying help this ang moh leader find the "crack crab shell" thingy,

I'd to help my manager do other stuff in between, so...

as the day came to a close and most of us can relaxed, i knew it was time to strike,

wahaha, after double checking with the permament stuff, we went to take the food leh..

AND THEN RIGHT, that bastard scold us... ask us go home,

not only shortening our working hours, but not letting us eat.

It was a seafood themed buffet leh...

the gigantic oysters are 7x the size of your omelete...

Of course we grabbed a few sashimi and other stuff before leaving.

Hmm.. shall go back again soon, but this time, more experienced...

2010-11-15T20:23:00.002+08:00

Hi guys. I had to share about this.

Today, there is yet another workshop/lesson on how to manage your relations,

be in BGR or towards friends and family. ( By Adam Khoo's company)

Dont you find it a little sad we have to be taught how to treat others right?

Empowerment, improvement, reflection, all these reasons, however

why do we still need to be lectured on how to work in a team, or how to treat your

family members right?

Of course i'm not claiming i'm perfect lah, and in fact i've always found each lesson equipping

me with new skills and mindsets, but do we really need them arh?

(I've always wanted to be those "empower-ers", can talk and earn money)

So i came into a conclusion that these workshop tends to work only if YOU make

a conscious effort to improve yourself.

I've been to OBS Singapore and it really thought me many skills, and the importance of

teamwork. However that burning passion only lasted for mere months or even weeks.

People hardly digest what was taught, so i thought maybe blogging about it would

leave a deeper impression for me.

Anglican really exposed me to the world too. I really think morning devotions are helpful,

I really do listen to each and everyone of them speak, ( exclude the super boring ones la),

but all these talks on how to be a better person always interest me, haha.

So today, although digressing a lot on how to maintain a good BGR and to get chicks,

its still... relatively useful lah. It kinda always spark the "What do you want to achieve in life"

thoughts.

( I think these people who study psychology always get a lot of gfs)

But thats not the main point, i think its really quite interesting lor, and i guess most people

if not all are actually interested in it. Though i really wonder what type of job can u get with it.

So now, I'll go round telling people i love them, so they would not commit suicide as so

the lecturer's friend had done. So come talk to me, even if you dont need help lah,

just in case the suicidal one is me, AHHAHAAHA (seriously.)

This video talks about how girls suck at telling jokes, while guys are better.

Personally I've never met any humorous guys before, of course not including the comedians.

And when some guys tell jokes, you sort of feel like punching them.

(But the female comedians in the related vids suck balls)

But i sort of believe to be funny, telling a joke is not enough leh. Because I've never

heard a 100% sure laugh joke before. So i conclude that its not really the joke.

Point is, I want to go for some comedian school, go learn to be uber funny, HAHAHA

and also to master some jokes in the process, because the ones i know now are

sadly only funny to me =(

It's really great when you have a low sense of humor, almost everything can entertain you

I can even tickle myslef, lol but sadly people will just think you're crazy.

and when you mix around with people who dont take jokes, your

humorous-level plunges.

Despite all the challenges i'm facing, i will continue to entertain myself if all else fails.

Need to meet some crazy people soon.

Offering 1 for 1 joke exchange promotion!

Firstly, I went to eat dimsum with mum and dad. Today, i experience Dimsum mania.

We went some where to eat it, and it was full house, even though the place was rather huge

The thing is, the the food comes when the pushcarts come ONLY,

therefore if the pushcarts dont comeby, you will be foodless =(

Therefore, they also use this chop and go system where you take, and let them chop your card

Thankfully we sat at this cross junction where pushcarts frequent la, but the crazy part

is....

After eating some random stuff, the long awaited Hagao(prawn dumpling thingy)

and siewmai came out, and there was a mad rush for it. and of course my mum sent me there

i was trying to be polite and I waited, but everyone was snatching them and of course..

i was left with nothing =(

I'm not kinding leh! Its like people will go hunting for the pushcarts

instead of waiting for the pushcartsto go over.. arghh, luckily we managed to get

some the second round.

This guy was damn funny, he said " No more liao =( " loudly, haha

If i go there again i will literally fight for my dimsums.

Secondly, i had been watching SNSD's Hello Baby for the past few days

and i really think its damn nice leh cos got ~~SNSD~~ the baby, which is quite cute

but but the point is watching such shows right, it really allow you to love babies more,

cos they remind you of ~~SNSD~~ the baby in SNSD.

THE POINT is i went by uncle's new house to shun bian see their baby,

and i suddenly like babies LOL. Ok, like them more now lah.

and I have a natural talent lor, their baby like me.

and Yes, this portion is just to show babies like me. HAHA. still feeling quite proud of myself

I still hate TPJC. I wanted to be sarcastic, and say i love it, but i cant bring myself to say it.

There still isn't ONE thing I like about it. Screw it. and Screw the screwed ppl in it.

2010-11-01T22:28:00.002+08:00

Happy Halloween! Not so for the 19 yr old guy who got murdered lah.

Went to watch Tong yan on Sat, and it was rubbish, totally not scary material,

but of course it got me during some scenes with random things flying almost out of

the screen. Argghh..

Well, Rainie kinda neutralised the horror element of the film, is that a good thing?

and she purposely show of her assets during some scenes, not that there is a lot to show

anyway. Not like i'm complaining, haha

But whats even scarier is that who the hell bring choppers with them to Mac.

like my mum said, it kinda shows they really intended to kill someone in the first place.

The trail of blood stretched 500m as i went to step on it leh, cos i really thought it was some

Halloween prank and by the time i got there, some of it coagulated and solidified le

and bringing it on to a higher level, its quite saddening we're so upset with one death

with millions out there starving and suffering from poverty.

praying for a B for pw. is that too much?

Trouble trouble trouble!

2010-10-26T22:41:00.002+08:00

We all have to continue moving forward... right?

If humans are not perfect, then there shouldn't be a perfect way to deal with

or treat someone else right, especially when we are all different.

Did I say too too much? or was she/he too sensitive?

There is no answer to that.

There are really people who care for you out there, and thats so heartwarming.

and there are those who really read deep into your actions and thoughts.

Oh well. There's no point for this post, like a source that has no purpose.

Just a lot of random stuff i want to say.

I need something to distract myself.

2010-10-23T18:21:00.003+08:00

Sometimes it's quite amusing why girls complain they need to diet.

Basically they just need to stay slim to look good leh.

Guys not only must lose weight, but muscle up to look better.

Written report is due in 2 days, thank god, really hope we can get over and done with it

The interesting thing is lying really trains your presentation lah.

From all the bullshitting i've picked up from NCC, and especially 4H,

then going into 10S09 and lying everyday just for the fun of it,

i really can give smoke my way through any question posted to me unscathed.

The innocents are the best liars right.

Our sly sly school is probably the only JC to not return promo scripts to us

aka force us to do PW before giving up and going poly etc.

Better catch up with everyone i knew before we drift further~

2010-10-09T13:05:00.002+08:00

Although our principal wears a pair of sports shoe together with a dress daily,

some of her quotes are quite inspiring.

The loser complains before doing something, complains when doing the thing,

and finally blames the thing at the very end.

Might as well, do your best preparing instead.

There's only physics left and i'm probably going to start later on after doing

some Project Work matters. PW>promos.

I guess its still fine so far lah, not fantastic , but still passable.

Hopefully the break comes sooner.

I've a fetish for principals. JK.

2010-09-14T21:30:00.005+08:00

I would like to reiterate my stand which is self-explanatory.

TPJC( an email from them):

The PET ROCKET PROJECT ended last Saturday, with the members competing in the National PET Rocket Competition. Final results are...........

We lost.

Yes, we lost, but does this brand us as losers?

Throughout the project, we have met with various difficulties and obstacles.

Everyone has his share of frustrations and some of us felt like quitting.

But we triumphed over all these negativity, perservered together to the end, and put in our all for the competition.
We are fighters! We are winners!

So allow me to congratulate the following members for their personal victories (in no particular order):

.......

With all this optimism, it feels like i have nothing to be worried of anymore.

2010-09-13T22:12:00.005+08:00

Faris is still currently my first and only malay friend.

Technically half Malay and i have kindergarten friends but.... you get what i mean

Happy Hari Raya! haha

I forgot to mention i had to miss a dinner that my neighbour had prepared for us,

not exactly just us, but its still quite nice of them to.

( We just give their little ones a Hong Bao during CNY, ahaha- non halal lah..)

Although Singaporean forums are rubbish, eg. edmw, stomp, flowerpod,

and those anti Singaporeans who feel we are not democratic enough

It's kind of amazing that reporters and by-standers can just point fingers and take photos

of such insensitive actions, and the law actually protects them.

. Burn any bible or swear against another religion in Singapore

and you would probably be locked up right away.

I always end of with random stuffs

Not exactly wasting time now, was downloading stuff for my dad to print.

Since his office can print, might as well print everything right?

Tendency to repeat stories... I think i will be those dads you watch on TV who always

talk about the same old da bian.

2010-09-11T01:39:00.002+08:00

Happy birthdays Hans Chua.

Truthfully, i wanted to make a post about my first experience playing block catching,

other than when with my brother when i was young of course.

and birthday-ing with my shifu in stalking.

But then an Orochimaru appeared.

I mean who the hell manages to fracture AND dislocate both arms/ wrists??

In the midst of playing catching, vinson ran frantically and decided to jump down from the

second floor.

But i guess he did not realise, firstly he is probably one of the fastest runners there and could

probably out run anyone, and secondly, he wasnt cornered and the stairs was right in front of

him.

Of course as usual when he gets excited he feels like jumping, every time, but hopefully he

learns his lesson. 2 hands man... that means no peeing, no shitting, no eating, no bathing

no practicing math, no Promos, no way other satisfying his what so ever other urges.

( this is those climax in front, then go back to the intro type of compo.)

If we didnt choose to eat at 18 chefs ( luckily its near CGH)

If we didnt change block ( my idea..) etc.

So basically we were celebrating sweaty lamb's birthday, my probably most loyal

blog follower and I remembered laughing here and there for i dont know what reason.

So i conclude that it was actually quite fun lah, excluding the breaking arm part.

and we actually cut the cake at some playground too.

and then the block catching started.

I dont mean to boast but i'm really not bad at catching. ( ironic but hahaah)

I waited and waited and realise no one was actually catching me or even around me,

and it got kind of spooky, so i went down and soon after.... "SLAM" was all i heard.

I gasped as i spun my head around. What was that? My heart...

Ok not so dramatic but soon the ambulance came

It was kind of relieving when his dad was rather indifferent to the situation.

Either he is used to it or believes he is resilient lah, Darren would have died.

Hope he recovers real soon.

You dont really have to exercise if you can laugh like me... or maybe dancing lucifer

everyday..

Is it kind of irritating since you cant tag? haha

what? ahaha

2010-09-04T00:32:00.005+08:00

Really glad Mr hamdan introduced TED to us.

Some speakers are really really good, after watching the following, go watch his

How to start a movement- video

Guess what, that's what i'm going to do.

and i removed my tagboard due to the spams, not like you're tagging anyway.

kthxbye.

2010-08-28T23:47:00.004+08:00

If you're from 4H, you must remember the......

Radio waves, micro waves....... X-rays GAMMA RAYS!

and also the lame shit Mitosis song Mrs Liang played for us, with the probably highly

paid blonde to act retarded ( or maybe thats why they got her in the 1st place)

well, i WANTED to revise economics just now, but some link popped out on facebook and i might as well learn from him

Well, these videos as useful to a certain extent lah, at least it captures your attention.

Although it seems whatever he had said was already mentioned by Mrs Ting aka menopause

woman, but it beats reading right.

Woh, 5 more weeks to promos. Why do i still have time to come here?

I'm like the rare few who like to waste time blogging. I want to stop..

2010-08-26T22:30:00.003+08:00

I made 2 drafts to post about Manila's hostage incident, but shall scrap it off.

Basically i'm just pissed with organisation of the police, that led to 8 people dying.

And the president (Aquino) seemed like he was joking when he apologized.

The main shit is, i really think today's Teacher's day performance is the bomb.

really the best so far le.

I jut realised, ok not really just lah, but A LOT of people here can sing,

and not only that, they would not hesitate to showcase it to the school that is praise worthy

BUT BUT, seriously, why can't the AHS dancers dance like those in TPJC.

There were times i even found the Councillors in AHS better than the dancers.

err, damn slutty, but hot, haha.

Although it was a measly 1hour and we have no half day break on Tuesday,

its still worth it. ( actually i still want my half day lah, haha)

Muan Ting damn stalker leh, i know i stalk too but i nvr add ppl right, haha

If I dont blog, I tend to talk to myself instead...( ahh, just kidding)

2010-08-23T16:28:00.002+08:00

Obviously whining doesn't help solve problems, discussing about the root of the problem

also retarded at times. Might as well solve it straight away right?

hmmm, life for me is starting to get no life right now.

Are you really happy? or is it just relative happiness compared to absolue happiness.

mixed feelings.

Cant wait to get over this quickly.

and wow, promos is in 6 weeks.

off to do pw.

Its so true sometimes that if you treat others well, they will do so in return.

Shall do more good deeds and help more people.

2010-08-21T19:11:00.005+08:00

Well, I still can't get over it.

wait arh.

Yesterday our class went to watch the Inaugural YOG Trampoline mens final

Bishan Sports Hall was great, the designated gymnastic area.

It looked new, everything looked new. the toilet was new!

haha, the excitement kind of cooled down the competition actually started.

ironic but true.

Maybe its just that i cant appreciate looking at a few boys jumping on a trampoline

the whole way...

Anyway, i really wanted a Lyo or Merly soft toy leh, but its like $39.90

although there were many other mechadises, i concluded that its kind of a waste of money

The excitement will probably only last a day, i'd probably pur the toy in the cupboard the next.

( but i still want it) haha

It was really sian.

BUT, when china was leading, i really wanted Ukraine to win instead leh

just didn't want them to win, haha,

especially with hengfei (China guy) screaming when Chn performed

And surprisingly, Ukraine won!

and there was this mad rush to this group of Ukrainians at a corner

This guy was like autographing the tickets for some people and taking photos with them

So obviously must go take photo what.

But in the end just self-owned when while we were walking back,

the real gold medalist walked out.

I think the photo was deleted.

But this cute girl is the best, she totally thrashed all the other gymnasts

Viktoria komova, go see her performance and compare it with the rest!

2010-08-18T23:06:00.002+08:00

No offense but i really doubt China's integrity.

Their female weight lifters and swimmers are totally flat. and i suspect they are guys instead.

I mean they can lift 100kg leh... not like Singapore's Joel ( weightlifter for YOG)

who cant even lift 90kg.

So I'm gonna go watch some rythemnmic gymnastics on Friday.

I think should be girls de le, haha =)

But if they're doing some ribbon dance thing, i'll probably fall asleep.

Gonna 电 the winner for the games, to make her gimme her merly soft toy.

ciao.

the mrbrown show: single in singapore

2010-08-17T23:40:00.000+08:00

Check this out. hilarious.

the mrbrown show: single in singapore

I want Mr Brown in my PW group lah, his ideas are... haha

2010-08-14T22:03:00.006+08:00

I've definitely more time on my hands with facebook out of the way right now,

but things ain't going as smoothly as expected though.

anyway i'm damn disturbed my this girl in my class, she stalks everyone and anyone

yea its you mengling, stalk my thumb drive some more.

its kind of fun when people seem to know whats going on it your life, as it spurs

conversationsto when they pry too much into it right.

Actually i also scanned the archives of seniors to find our what happened during

part B camp(NCC) de, haha. but still...

Did you watch the YOG opening ceremony? i cant help it but feel its a little xia suay,

i know we can never compete with Beijing's ownage performance lah, but wasnt the NDP better?

The first few act, the one where the little kids were " roti prata, char kuay tiao" -ing

I was kinda psycho-ed by their cute act, but when i suddenly thought about the whole world

looking at use doing that.... and suddenly singing the " 客人来，爸爸不在家" song.

was really quite cute,lol

Actually i'm only looking forward to the sporting events lah, haha

and my mum suggested a merlion to come out from the water instead of that

bird like monster, and i kind of agree.

oh well, since we spent $384million already, might as well support it right.

the tagless-ness really gives you the impression that no one comes right,

and how shall i put it, i'd like it to be open, yet not so open.

since everyone read so much into stuff, i'm going to end here instead.

this blog had reached the minimum efficient scale, maybe i shall be mia like everyone else.

2010-08-10T20:37:00.002+08:00

Turns out the wedding dinner was where our prom was held, haha

Brings back memories and yet the food was much better.

8weeks to promos and i'm determined man.

No more facebook till then, its my major vice.

Will continue talking to myself here every now and then though.

will do so probably after my PW teacher rejects my idea once again. its august btw.

No time to fly my sexy new kite =(

Injections may be high. seriously~

2010-08-08T17:13:00.003+08:00

Hi.

1. Watched salt instead of inception as the timeslots were all fully booked

(even after 3 months)

2. Not exactly very neece steamboat.

3. Went Up Marina Bay Resort thanks to MJC's 鸡饭 auntie

it was totally crazy but worth the long walk their,

after the double helix bridge, we went up to the 55th floor and the view down the

staircase well is just mind blowing. the lift moves at some crazy speed too.

4. Went into that auntie's luxurious room and shamelessly camwhored everywhere

5. But no photos because kkh does not have facebook.

( it's crazily nice and high class there)

6. finally bought a new running shoe at Queensway.

7. FINALLY bought a kite. for less than 10 bucks somemore ( marginal B>marginal C)

8. Going for a wedding dinner later

9. Feel damn sexcited to try the kite out( it's some kiddy doraemon kite, but sexy ttm)

10. I hope i start studying soon =(

I've a sexy doraemon kite.

Possible hiatus

2010-07-31T21:23:00.005+08:00

You know how some people acquaint themselves with you?

then they claim they know you very well?

So my mum and dad went to school for our COMPULSORY ptc today

and mdm toh (form teacher) who doesnt teach me at all starts talking about me

which is hilarious cos, the time we spent together is so short.

She stalks people on facebook too! maybe thats how she know what happening to me.

So the thing is she went on to tell my mum not to nag at me which is damn funny

and she goes on saying i am damn hardworking, and thats when my mum

tried her best to convince mdm toh i'm a lazy piece of shit, but then she dont accept it.

and my dad goes on to ask her is it the teachers that are lousy hahaha.

Yesterday was interact club's farewell.

Was the Emcee with Charmaine and i think we did great lah.

i mean i'm sure there's someone out there that would do much worse than us right

self-comforting.

But the performance were great, chirs, javier and kristie did a great job.

during a break, they anyhow sang and beatbox-ed something out it sounded great.

After that, grabbed some food and met the guys.

I seriously wonder how can we talk about the same few shit and continue to laugh at it.

Lol.

so for now.. gonna focus and study liao.

Look a little faggy but, heck. Kristie, me, Javier, Charmaine and Chistopher.

Gimme a plane~

2010-07-27T18:58:00.002+08:00

"If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile,

the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand."

Screw PW.

2010-07-26T19:17:00.002+08:00

I really didnt notice how time past by so fast.

Anyhow also did not post in 5 days

Finally felt accomplished because our CIP trip is finally over

and no more doing stupid stuff for national fay

and no more EDUrace.

Hopefully i do not need to do anything else as a Civics councilor.

Just remembering that we still have CIP in a few days is enough to induce stress.

I felt today was kind of light-hearted and fun. Though only a few of them came.

Wonder if it was the rain.. It was definitely more fruitful then 3H/4H's trip though,

the only thing i remembered doing then was watching a video then play ball, lolx

So i taught this lady how to fold a straw heart today and she was damn happy to be able to

fold one lah and thankfully she picked it up kind of fast.

Which brings me back to Qinhui, nowelle and a whole herd of people teaching me how to

during chalet and i was totally literally retarded then.

I really think CIP is meaningful leh, depends on your perspective.

I mean you can be thankful to be able to eat some fairly decent meal right?

Hopefully we can all learn to appreciate such small things in life,

and the joy derived from giving is immeasurable.

Ironically, i feel like quiting interact.

Actually its because the management sucks lah, also no point, but we'll see

hee, went to my cousin's 满月yesterday and i totally felt like some overgrown kid.

Pratically all the kids were toddlers or babies, i think parents like to invite those

with children too.

Why are all my cousins so small arh. The oldest are only P6.

kids are cute, until they grow up.

2010-07-21T23:27:00.003+08:00

You normally blog to capture moments in your lifetime right?

Note to future self:

My economics teacher, Mrs Ting was undergoing a sad and painful transition in her life

menopause.

She's moody and picky. Tables must be arranged impeccably before lessons could start

Today, she decided not to teach and want us to experience how hard is it to teach

( not jokingly type... like getting jacob out)

sadly, she picked me and i didnt do that piece of hmwk,

wanted to say i didnt know how to do if she checked de.

So i just anyhow picked matthew's and went to present,

but his words are so small that i decided to just get it all out from my head.

from here, i realised teaching is quite easy ( maybe its just the class went damn quiet)

but the main point is, in life, you dont really have to be clever..

but if you cannot act clever you're screwed. *acts clever.

2010-07-16T23:56:00.002+08:00

Ass, joshua anyhow also do so well..( ok maybe he worked damn hard la)

that means effort put in must x2 le.

i dont even need to be paul to know that i've got to start studying earlier.

and this is pissing me off, no one uses msn/fb already.

Compared to the past.

and i'm just killing time playing neopets.

I shall try to come up with some creative way again to stop wasting time.

Being a civics councilor suck.

2010-07-14T22:26:00.002+08:00

Was kind of pissed when my GP gotten an S.

I wanted an E or U, i can get mor ideas to form words with my rank points, haha

So currently its CDDS.

Ehh, I really cant believe it leh... I really really think the papers were manageable, but

i'd just have to screw up.

and its really quite sad not to have a cheefong/justin in my class who can speed answer

my math questions.

anyway its my second time late for school this term le, and only 2 weeks have gone past.

Both Wednesdays too, cos its late Wednesdays, where we can reach school at 8.40am

Underestimate myself+ traffic Jam = i think i will get suspended.

and my hair got caught too. wth i SLOPE leh...

my new math teacher is supposedly the HOD of math's brother

and he is our new teacher, but he dont know a shit, and he cant use the GC

I lost 2 bottles in school this year already and i broke one.

and i asked my mum to trim my fringe and it turned out to look like bangs

and after cutting some more, my hair's..

The marker of GP essay is really really paul the octopus like.

She practically know like.. everything that went through my head when i wrote my essay

" wenjie,......( this part is where she owns me)......

.....even though such a question may fulfill your inner most desires to make you happy( see how happiness is not necessarily always what you make of it?)...

my topic is some sick shit lah, haha, is " Happiness is what we make it out to be" DYA

I didn't really have points to write it compares to some lame conventional internet question...

I wrote purely for the fun of it. and she knew!

tsk, if i wrote the internet question, i'd probably pass my essay, and gotten an overall D?

screw optimism, pessimism, emo and everything else,

just try to get rid of everything in your head and act like an idiot.

its damn fun. I think i lost a little intelligence in the process

2010-07-11T12:10:00.001+08:00

I've always wondered what will make me go mad.

Alvin the FIRENUDGER says:

*ypu wnt bet yog?

Wenjie says:

*WTF!!!

*wth is your problem !!

Alvin the FIRENUDGER says:

*but yog can bet not ah

Wenjie says:

*NO LA

2010-07-06T20:31:00.007+08:00

Succumbed to Kpop. haha.

Bigbang is really really damn good.

Korean is like next on the list of the languages i NEED to learn before i die now.

This english cover is also not bad, especially if you dont understand korean.

yea i know the Taeyang's sounds much better lah, but i dont know korean right...

and this cover is like not bad.

this song is damn old liao lah, but hahahaha

but all the Korean stars are all package in the same why nowadays.

it practically took me forever to tell the difference between SNSD members

of course thinking back now, its kind of stupid lah, cos they look damn different to me now

emo songs are really damn nice.

shit. i'm pissed leh, i studied and pracitise math only leh. ONLY math for mye and i screwed it

thought i will do not bad, but of course careless as usual lah.

its just not fair leh.

although i'm 5th in class lah (not impressive at all, since the 1st got a C.)

lol =(

2010-07-04T15:29:00.003+08:00

MYE was... haha.

I did " Happiness is what we make it out to be" Discuss.

rather than >> blah blah is internet good/bad?

was so bored with those shitty technology questions already but then i think i wrote off point

Dinner yesterday was great.

when you learn to accept crap, you'll find it funny- everyone laughs.

when you shut yourself from crap, you'll find it sian- everyone =.=

however sometimes its not the quality of the crap lah, it depends on who creates it.

Anyway i'm getting pissed with my skin already- blogskin

the words are so micro and when you amalgamate it with some boring shit story,

even i get turn off by it.

I realise i love to say/write/type damn random stuff,

e.g. i saw a baby crow ( as big as a minah yesterday)

and toy story 3 was great, damn touching.

which made me pity my toys too, I have no idea where they are now.

either incinerated or at the salvation's army.

I had a buzz lightyear too... and i want it back now..

anyway i'm waiting for this octopus to predict before making my next move.

2010-06-29T15:25:00.002+08:00

You all know that its the world cup now right?

I've to admit that i'm not an avid soccer fan but now...

a nice way to put it: Getting to know more about a healthy sport.

frankly frank way of putting it:

die, you're going to see me with a broken family due to gambling on news paper. haha

The matches are quite interesting lah, but i decided to bet on my first game yesterday leh

and i won!! haha $3.80

I know its kinda pathetic lah, but at least i'm making super-normal profits.

Moments ago, i was racking my brains out to find a low risk, semi high return bet.

and its literally like APGP.

after that you have to scan newspaper articles to determine how credible they are too!

So actually betting on soccer is not as reckless as 4D or ToTo leh, at least you can get some obvious wins. Of course the odds are terribly low lah.

Putting $10 into the pot of uncertainty to only receive $3.80

While i understand that it goes against some people's beliefs to gamble right

but i really think it can be healthy if it's not compulsive.

I mean, if you buy 4D every week ( spending $2?) you can always look forward to your

Sundays. There seems to be like something else to look forward to in life

Like your television shows.

Actually all that is kinda rubbish, i'm just justifying it so that i feel better if i lose money, haha

GOGO JAPAN! Current state: +3.80

2010-06-22T23:23:00.003+08:00

I've just registered for NS leh, I can start to countdown le.

I want to like celebrate and have some party before going in, please?

promise you will plan for me k?

Haha, i received 4 mails for MINDEF to do it, with one that is a reminder, cos i

chose to wait till the last week to do so. lol

Actually army is quite cool leh, obviously they chose the best uniforms and models

to be one the homepage but... haha

Well, there is this Pre-enlistee 's forum and the one with the highest posts and views is

Thread: Do u miss your girlfrds after your NS enlistment?

This kind of spark the thought of.. there is no one i can look forward to after booking out.

And and and, i'll probably be only calling my mum late in the night

( shower her all the love in the world first right? before she complains no one cares bout her)

- she's damn sly de, always say next time no one will tc of her, and she will stay with my dad in a 3 rm flat, but deep down she's psychoing me to buy her a big house in the future.

But then thinking about it, it's kind of unfair to let some poor girl to wait for you and see your

balded/ not sexy self 1 day a week, abstaining from the fit hunky guys that already came out from NS in uni, that were deprived from girls for 2years.

So the bottom line is, not having a girlfriend now is a noble choice, for the greater good, for the benefit of everyone.

(haha, i'm serious)

First i've to drink the best milk with the most DHA

Then I've to hurry to read and talk

...be outstanding in kindergarden

... get into a good primary school

... do well for PSLE

... do well in O levels

...do well in A levels

... Survive NS

... get into a good university

... Graduate

... find a good job

... have a family

... find a girlfriend from a bunch of girls who are crazy after handsome korean ppl

all the jongs/ kim/ yong or whatever their names are

... feed the family

... survive from stress from work and life

life is damn tiring and we haven't reach the halfway mark yet.

and i'm pissed and sian. cos i could have helped out my parents if they owned a farm

somewhere in the world.

Eating what we need and sell the rest for a small profit,

laugh and talk with the small village we're in.

and how everyone wish that they're born into a city

i really dont mind being some farmer.

Grow food> eat food> sleep> grow food> eat food> sleep

edit: ok, i continued to comb the forum.

and i totally forgot about there are loads of ghost stories generated by NS men.

I'm praying so hard i won't get a Zhengyi alike buddy.

Thats like worst then being alone. ns sucks

2010-06-18T23:03:00.013+08:00

Some pursue happiness, others create it.

I can sense myself lacking some sort of exuberance and passion in life i used to have.

Maybe its many disappointing decisions i had made.

I'm really not affected by it already, so i wonder whats the problem.

(edit: maybe it's the sluts that keep reminding me)

Creating that pseudo happiness doesn't seem entirely impressive too (aizen)

Have to learn more from wilfred- seriously he is the optimistic king

and Sue Sylvester.

So i have came to a consensus with myself to never post crap anymore

(though i seriously enjoy reading other people's blog especially when they damn emo,

lol. Duno bout you lah)

I've got to find out what i enjoying doing too, i'm usually passive about everything,

and i don't mind sitting down there to rot, which is obviously not good at all.

running? shopping? bball? reading? -- wth lol

Going to expand my repertoire of jokes too, cos I've talent in telling jokes and acting. really

Amazingly i just created happiness. I felt instantaneous happier after posting that, i guess i can

humour myself.

Anyway wanted to go swim in orchard but went to watch A-Team today instead,

which is as cool as muddock, this joker in this

elite team who supposedly has a mental illness (he really has)- 2nd guy from left

He's really funny enough to make weien scream, ahaha. haha

So they are off to complete impossible missions, a little like prison break

got to change my phone liao, everyone's going to get an iphone 4g right?

So i don't want to hope onto the bandwagon with everyone else leh.

wouldn't really be special anymore right?

especially since for my class, at least 7 out of 22 have iphones

All the best for mid years. we need it.

2010-06-10T19:03:00.003+08:00

Well, in your face cause i started revision today.

Although in the mere 3-4 hours i only did 2 questions,

and it's not exactly done by me because i got stuck, and it's a yishun JC question.... but

not bad le right? ok, will have to put in so much determination and effort.

Sometimes I really don't know what's going on in my head.

see, i just proved it, i had deleted and deleted this portion so many times.. just joking=)

No seriously...

Wanted to talk about so much random stuff, but then <<>

Will come back here after i straightened stuff out. haiz. and i'm going to quit fb yet again

sorry to disappoint you, especially you, ultimate facebook stalking crawling offline master

and ewiaff

this is damn cute, haha

2010-06-04T23:45:00.002+08:00

You know, in your memories, the ones that appeared the happiest and optimistic

causes you to feel the most 心酸 when they move on?

When Dr. Goh Keng Swee passed away, I was still thinking who the hell is this man exactly.

All the glory of Singapore's prosperity seemed to be showered on our beloved mm lee

and we all choose to respect and remember a dead man, instead.

Thus then, I felt we should always love the ones around us, yes ttm.

Sometimes for me, it really takes me to be bitten twice to be shy of third.

Live life to the fullest.

Was back at the same place again today.

Just last week we visited her. She had cancer.

Actually she survived the painful ordeal before, but relapsed.

Even though she was cheered upon for her battle with the illness in the Straits times before

we all will eventually succumb to fate.RIP

2010-05-31T21:25:00.002+08:00

ah shucks. There just isn't anything new these days.

and there goes 4 days of precious time just like that.

Anyway I've just watched the latest flash forward episode, and i'm totally absorbed by it

haha.

It's this series where everyone " dreams" of their future"

some good some bad and they show how it slowly leads to that very day,

of course some trying their very best to alter what they saw.

Glad you stopped by but thats all.

Yesterday was the day i found out where i got my talent for singing from,

and the genes for humour.

2010-05-23T20:35:00.002+08:00

You see, someone said this in one of his/her speeches in school and i can't help bu agree with it!

Trying your best is not just focusing/concentrating hard when doing something,

its actually doing your very best to prepare for that special day.

Although its like kind of obvious, but somehow it just kind of enlightened me.

So our school held "EDUrace2010" its kind of like teaching secondary school students

the importance of water conservation and total defence in a form of a race(amazing race).

and my team got third-- i'm the facilitator, AHAHA

although i didnt get a single shit out of the race ( except free ice cream and a sandwich)

Its still worth it when you win.

But but, there is this leg in race where we have to board a bus a stipulated time to some

water purification plant thingy beside ehub, to complete some stations there

but it was closed, so it was damn fail, ( it means we went out of school to other stations that could actually be also done in school)

- yes the whole race is in school.

Not really interesting but i guess this is as good as life could get.

anyway i really really like this song.

See you soon.

2010-05-12T21:50:00.003+08:00

GOOD NEWS!

Jonathan, matt, Daniel and I ran and the FIRST!! (lane runners.)

Just joking, but I was really the FIRST( runner for the team)

ok la, we've gotten 5th. But i still think we did an amazing job.

Considering we have

a) slack guy (council)

b) track( but he run long dist de)

c) faggot ( volleyball but not bad leh, haha)

d) lazy shit slow interacter.

while other classes have like 2/3 trackers/dragon boaters/ bballers

so, according to TPJC, qualifying is equivalent to winning and you can share your experiences le

So i think 5th not bad lah

oh yea, and we had a semi-hiong PE ytd

Great, at least we're not last!

But somehow you will always have those 不甘心 feeling right. haiz

2 classes put their trump card for last. so...

Today's our Sportsmeet which i think was pathetic with people not clearing the tracks,

blocking the runners. But the cool thing was, we released 200+ balloons into the skies

and it was really an awesome sight.

I think its only me who haven watched IPman or Ironman

He wondered in. He believed.

He believed he would be given a balloon, his inner most desire.

but it was not for long, he had too free it, into the vast blue sky.

although he was scammed into doing saikang in the blistering heat by his friend,

he was back-stabbed and his secretly kept balloon was gone.

Are you angry? no, i'm wenjie

2010-05-10T21:57:00.004+08:00

i finally asked qinhui to change my facebook password, and i'm totally 不知所措.

My bodily flex was totally on facebook mode when i switched-on the computer

and got to facebook's home page immediately yet not being able to get in.

And no, i'm not over exaggerating when i say i'm addicted to facebook.

Somehow i just have to log on and do practically nothing on it everyday

Do you?

give me a moment, i'm still feeling uncomfortable haha.

Anyway every year, i really hate mothers' and fathers' day.

Its not that I dont like my parents lah, but then when they plaster and publicise

Mothers and Fathers' day promotion, it just kinda make me feel like....

e.g mom was watching TV, I know this will sure happen de but then....

i went to sit down.

In seconds, the news was reporting some mothers day thing then i dam paiseh.

Not say i nvr do anything ok?... her birthday is like in a few days, so we going out to eat

just damn weird.

Damn random but, my friend was dialing someone.

So the handphone was "dialing......"

and i went to ask my friend, who is dai ling? you GF arh ; D

fail =(

Running 4x400m on Wednesday. whole school's watching.Die.

2010-05-04T00:30:00.002+08:00

Hi there.

I totally spend the whole of ~~today~~ yesterday doing my PI,

of course with my calculator in hand.

With much meticulous effort, i painstakingly cut my PI by close to 150 words,

i consider that an amazing feat.

With the deadline being tmr ( my teacher spelt it as dateline), my PI days are over =)

I'm quite skeptical over getting good grades for PW though.

haiz. I find myself being ever so practical now. Practical as in realistic.

no more imagination.

that won't kill me, can only make me stronger.

2010-04-27T20:56:00.001+08:00

If you said something clever, shut up immediately.

Applies to all situation when you impress others.

2010-04-25T12:27:00.002+08:00

I really need a new skin soon. the pictures just dont fit nicely and the font size is too small.

So, it had been a rather good week i guess, and

yesterday was my most productive Saturday for the year.

You see, my form teacher told some horror stories about TPJC that seriously

freaked me out.

I had my fair share of them from AHS but you really can't beat this man.

1) Cai Fan stall- photos of it with maggots in it were posted for the whole sch to see

2) My teacher herself saw the whole chicken dropped, and the chickenrice auntie

just picked it up and continue chopping.

3) Western and yong tau hu being constantly attacked by houseflies- i can vouch for this

though i'm kind of skeptical about the maggots, but their fried eggs got this black flakes de

I think they wash their wok properly. Only ate there twice so far.

Side note: the uncle and auntie look like gangsters

Although i remember complaining about how AHS food sucks,

but at least my stomach is always full.

Here, its either chicken rice/ noodle stall/ roti prata.

( they won't drop the chickens everyday right)

damn typical of me to be always be critical of such crap,

but you have to be here to believe it.

wanted to raise another point, but aiya, rather not.

although the author of the source have first hand experience, he is heavily bias

----****though i'm sure other source will support it.

its rat race after all

2010-04-21T22:45:00.004+08:00

using 21 equations, i've gotten this.

Just updating cos i really like this picture, its like looking into a mirror.

ok:

1- math teacher gonna get maternity leave soon

Gp teacher going Canada, next week

Econs teacher wasnt a permanent teacher in the 1st place, leaving very soon

physics teacher- duno why, but just leaving- june

Pw teacher- changed.

2. i've learnt many many ways so sabotage calculators, A lvl that time take care.

3. We had PW lectures and almost all the teachers were taking down notes.

4. JC sucks, you cant sleep in class.

you look so pretty that day

2010-04-15T19:48:00.001+08:00

~~I can't do it~~ I'm almost there!

I'm getting fat.

While everyone is like still in a CCA that require them to run about etc.

I'm practically playing with children and sharing their snacks with them.

( technically i'm running about lah.. =.=)

I ran 4x400 with my classmates too, and we managed to top the classes during that pe slot

Which means we'd may have to run for sports day.

I'm probably the slowest in the bunch, and i had muscle aches for running 400m

even after 4 days.

April's ending soon.

that was the closest i've gotten into believing. for now.

2010-04-10T21:31:00.006+08:00

yups, That was really very touching.

So from the video, we kind of learn to appreciate people before its too late.

I hate to say this but my first ever boss passed away.RIP.

Although we only worked together for 4 days, but i mean,

sometimes just one sentence can set you thinking, what more about days??

Shan't elaborate much here, but she'd definitely left an indelible impression on the 6 of us.

and this is the photo where she says i'm the most handsome eh, followed by alvin, haha.

Never felt this before, but i better be used to it.

On a brighter note, zhengyi's bff told me my blog is interesting and i guess its kind of subjective

but i guess i will continue to post as deem fit.

who says blogs are open to all? with the traffic flow here, i kind of think this as my diary haha.

-have this sudden urge to wear my lenovo shirt.-rip.

2010-04-06T19:27:00.004+08:00

Me:" how come what my teacher require for PI is different from you?"

Teacher:" this is cos we split ourselves into 2 teams, and we have different interpretations

of the question?"

Me:" Why isn't it uniformed? you guys trying to test which is the correct method is it?"

" is it because of this so our PW rate kns?"

Teacher" eh, i will go ask, i just started teaching pw this year only leh!"

anyway i happen to chance upon this ( i think shld be nt bad) secret manual to PW

Rocks are the most important in life ( family, food, health)

With them, you can fill up a jar ( you )

But you can still always fill the gaps with pebbles ( car, money, job) to make it fuller

and even sand ( games, msn, facebook)

At the end of the day, what really matters is not your sand or pebbles that cant even

make you life full.

It is the rocks.

This is damn touching.

god's having mood swings- damn hot

I have never been this motivated before.

- dont fight a man with nothing to lose

-dont underestimate a man with everything to lose.

2010-04-01T20:20:00.005+08:00

Wah I feel so cheated by the whole Ris Low drama mama crap.

It totally didnt occur to me that today April's fool.

Cos allowing the way ppl just tried to trick me and i just brushed it off.

Walao, i damn angry lah, got to eat this thing tmr,

but you must buy a medium size coke before you could buy that.

Actually i'm kinda disappointed when i found out Ris is not a DJ and its a hoax leh

She is damn good at owning herself either intentionally or unintentionally.

真是一场欢喜一场空。

PW teacher: It has been clarify that Wen Jie is in Mrs Chan's PW class.

If you wonder who's english could possibly be worse than Ris Low...

2010-03-31T21:13:00.002+08:00

Working with children ( SHORT TERM!) relieves stress.

when you mix around with them, you kind of indulge yourself in the world of possibility

Watching a magic trick would be

"WOW, how did you do that?!? =(" and not " Cheh, i also know how you do. =.= "

and while tutoring them, this guy could kind of do his chinese homework with ease,

kind of like when i was young too. my chinese was like above above above average then.

PSLE also anyhow A* lah.

Compared to my pathetic C5 in hcl for o levels.

I kind of regret copying most of my zuowens but nevertheless, it was still

pengzhi who slaughtered my interest for chinese.

Anyway i'm stuck on the fence. Currently in a dilemma, is not washing hands,

not flushing the toilet or not returning trays a more serious problem?

This kind of bring me back to Chiang Rai where this boy wanted to go to the toilet

( we were the "teachers")

when he came back, i cheekily asked him if he washed his hands,

and he immediately ran to the tap--( many others rushed to the tap after that too)

tsk tsk, cute but, lol.

Ris Low is the epitome of self degrading. I wonder what exactly does she view herself as.

Brave warrior who stands up after a fall? Iron willed woman who faces all challenges?

to me, she is akin to a joke.

She recently became a DJ right?

Shan, Ross and Ris show, what an extra.

so today, i managed to spare some time to find out how a failure is she.

( Ross went on strike and left the show, she hates Ris)

and Ris said" this is the Shan and Ross show...... oh i mean Ris =X "

Ris Lowoser

2010-03-23T22:24:00.003+08:00

I was just looking at some old photos and i suddenly realized right,

in ncc, not only the juniors are changing , the seniors had too.

I mean, after 4 years, i haven't master the art of giving juniors

the as though they killed my whole family face and attitude,

which obviously our seniors were great at.

damn random but thankfully i joined ncc, cos the old no.4 looks so much

better than the pixel-lated piece of shit now.

just some random photo i could find.

going back to school tomorrow~ ahs i mean

2010-03-14T21:04:00.008+08:00

Lol, thats our generation leh.

I still remember the parts where they talk to the father's potrait, lion king...

The ~~virtue~~ habit of watching tv is kind of fading already,

its kind of the psp/iphone/computer generation right now.

TV kind of bonds the families right?

on the sideline, this kind of reminds me on the times where we were betting if certain teachers have armpit hair

eg. Mrs L , AHAHAHAHAHA

No more liang popo, liang xi mei, no more pck, even pokemon is crap now.

Its not because we're getting older, its that our society is travelling at warp speed.

I think this whole episode is too epically dramatic.

I really think the whole thing is staged and orchestrated by of course,

the famous- or infamous jack neo

edits* i just saw the video on that particular conference and i really pity mrs neo

yes yes, if i didnt know about the affairs and i saw this, i would really think that its his new movie

the camera shutters will probably just blind me

2010-03-07T21:21:00.002+08:00

I really find it very funny now.

haha, its like so hard and i manage to do it.
