Ok.. It's time for me to change from blogspot to
wordpress.
It's not that blogspot sucks or what, just that i prefer
wordpress because i like the many functions in it.
and i find that blogspot is giving me more problems than
i have foreseen.

http://mypeacefulphilosophy.wordpress.com/

so friends out there, please kindly change my link!
This is the first time i'm changing it.
Sorry for making you guys wait by not changing the links to
all of your new blogs.
Well, the links in my new blog has all been updated.

just when i wanted to post the OCH photos.
this blogspot gave me problems.
Thats why you cannot see the photos up here.
Wooohooo..
I really like Applied Illustration !!!
Get to draw.
And the lecturer very kind and friendly
the looks also pleasant looking, smiling and nice pair of eyes.
Always look forward to class and consultation.
HArd to find such caring and patient lecturer nowadays.
Even if you've made mistakes in your illustration,
she won't criticise you, but just say it in a very pleasant and
simple way.

Oh.. and last Thursday..
The lesson started at 3pm..
I went there only to realise that she would be coming at 4pm.
Well.. thats ok i thought.
But i didn't know that i have to wait until 10.40pm+ for my turn
to consult.. yea...
Really, believe me.
When i came out of the classroom for toilet.
I suddenly felt that i was doing Basic Photography or camping in school.
Basic Photography was worse... work until have to take taxi home.
I was the 2nd last person to consult her.
and i spent A LOT OF TIME fooling around now and then, and
working on my layout.
Hahah. We didn't blame her because
look.. she was willing to spend so many hours... 6hours
to consult every single one of us.
and was willing to stay back till so late for the remaining no. of
us...

I was starving.
After accompanying my Dan and his GF half way home.. like a mobile
lightbulb right...
haha.
then after that my Dan and i went to have roti prata at kovan..which was like 12am+.. our dinner.
Ya.. thats about that..

Stories - The Fern and the Bamboo
Original Story by Eric Garner
There was once a man who got so sick of life, he quit his job, severed all relationship ties and headed into the woods for one last reflection.

There he saw a meditating wise man and told him why he was there.

"Can you give me one good reason not to quit?" the man asked.

The wise man responded to his question with another question, "Look around… Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", the man replied.

The wise man continued, "When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

On the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

On the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit. On the fourth year, yet again nothing came out from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit.

Then on the fifth year, a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was small and insignificant. But just six months later, the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the last four years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.

All this time that you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots. The growth of the bamboo was no magic. Yet it towers above the fern in the end. Don't compare yourself to others.

The bamboo has a different purpose from the fern. But together they both make the forest beautiful.

The wise man then looked pointedly at the man and said, "Your time will come. Take your roots and you shall rise high just like the bamboo."

I usually try to follow other's ideas
their plans, their activities, their beliefs.
Because i'm enthusiastic and wants to
make the atmosphere more lifely and happy.

As long as no need too much money or time
i will join in.
But if i'm the one suggesting the activities,
i can almost guaranteed that 95% of the people
will reject my ideas.
ya, you want go where, i accompany you.
I want go where, i go myself
you play lame games, i play with you,
i play lame games, you sit down there and laugh ba.

Last Friday, Chun Yong, Wen Hao, Hanif and i went to OCH for
some adventure.. the details will be posted soon
because i still need to get the pictures from my friend.

AHA... Public Speaking was fun !
No work, just make friends and talk in front
of the class..
Everybody got the chance of introducing themselves
infront of the class. Feedbackas and encouragements
were written and given to every single one of us by the
rest of the class.

Encouragement.
What a nice word.
But hardly anyone uses it.
Encouragements can do wonder..
from making a person smile, more confident.
But think about it, when was the last time somebody
around you actually encourage you? praises you? like
"hey.. your hair style looks good on you."
"You are a humorous guy and its so fun having you around."
Some of you may say yes but i think that
most of you would probably say no.

If life is bad enough and that person did not hear a single
word of support, encouragement or care.
I don't think that person is going to enjoy his life.
Just a simple " hey. you look good today." is enough.
So.. try to be more kind towards your friends and family?
I think that quite a lot of my friends are having a bad times.
So i hope that they can survive through the ordeals and
become stronger and tougher adults.

----Tuesday----.
PengYee and i went to mic's house for fun.
too bored at home so went there to talk.
Same thing, used the computer there.
Played daidee.
Playing daidee with friends more fun
than playing computer games la...
hahaha.
because we can joke around..
Joke while we still can.. of else start school
this kind of mini gathering hard to come by...
Heard mic talking about picnic
and of course i very eager to join
hahaha. i love going to beach and stuffs like that.
i didnt know that mic's sis could be so excited
over "guessing fist" game...

After that we went home..
and i met desmond on the bus.
that was so coincidental..
Went to his house to borrow animes and chit chat awhile.

---Wednesday---.
went to Bras Basah to meet my cousin
He wanted to buy stuffs from ARt Friend and he
even brought a list of things to buy..
and i must say. that's really a lot.
haha, then he's clever la.. buy all rather than
going back and buy once in awhile...
i gave him little advice but he still spent a lot.
Art is a costly subject..

---Thursday.---
The day of picnic..
I overslept so be on time to prepare food.
ps ps. : )
Damn funny la.. we have been crapping throughout
the whole journey la..
As we walked to the beach, we could hear the lightning.
we didnt care much and laid down the mat.
ate a few bread and Alex started complaining about
water droplets on his head.
Too bad on him experience it.. until 7 minutes later.
We confirm is raining then we immediately went inside the
shelter..
Luckily i brought umbrella and Poncho(green plastic cover"
WOOHOOOO. this is called, always be prepared..
And dono why i'm the only one who brought umbrella.

when the rain stopped, we decided to go back..
the grass too wet for picnic..
Walked half way and it started raining...
Ok.. luckily i brought umbrella and poncho..
can shelter us as we walked to the bus stop...
haha. we should have taken pictures whenever we
come out for gathering.. these are precious memories.
Priceless when we grow up and look back.

Went to mic house.. watch a freaking lame show..
while the rest playing mah jong.
Soon darrel and karie went back..
so left Tania, alex, mic and i playing MJ
haha. we were not really playing la..
just chatting and laughing only.
then we play 21point.. using MJ tiles as
chips..
And yeah... i was the winner..
until my number of tiles could fight with all of their
tiles combined together.
They combined everything and bet with me.
and i got 21points.. won all the MJ tiles. wahahha.

Sent tania home and the rest of us went to
have supper.
Talked for a very long time..
then went to Mac because the shop was closing down.
We only stopped the conversation at 3am.
so basically, we chatted from 6pm to 3am.
ALOT of things to chat hor..? but its really fun la..
heard a lot of things. sec school stuffs. haha
hope next time we will also have time for such
chit chats.

next time then blog about fri - sun.
I didnt really care much about the English because
i wrote those down so that i know that i have
really enjoyed my holiday so English is not a matter.
i have already uninstalled my warcraft game
so that if i have time, i would rather spend it on
my friends, exercise and books.
And yeah.. i really have great friends around.
Thank you all for that.

Sunday:
Nice Steamboat.
Celebrate vincent and donavan's
birthday.
haha. whats inside the present?
so big and inconvenient.
haha.
damn full after the steamboat.
Steamboat is like a buffet
can take how much your stomach
allows.
A mini gathering? HAHA. its enough liao.
no need those big groups kind.
Last but not least.
i think that at least 1 guy friend should
accompany a female friend home at night.
That is basic courtesy.

Monday:
Another nice steamboat.
But too bad
Chun Leng told the girls his
ghostly encounters..
until they were so frightened.
LOL. blame CL la!
At night leh...
faces pale, and afraid of going
home.
haha. but damn funny because
everybody was like so freaked out.
Plus.. the shoper owner sat down
with us and join our conversation..
told us about those junction thing,
what don't look below your leg at night.. etc.
hahah.

2007-04-05T11:42:00.000+08:00

WHEEEEEEEE.....!
Had a chalet with my friends!

Day 1.
I went there myself and was surprised by the condition
of the house.
COOL.. The house was very old with brown stain and
cracks on the wall, suitable for a ghostly film, haha.
just exaggerating only. But the experience is different,
there was much excitement to live in such house because
it's like some kind of adventure taking place.
As usual, i played Daidee with my friends as warm up
for the chalet.
Then after that Peng Yee, Kah Siang and i rode around
exploring the changi area on our friends' bicycle..
We found the coastal route back to our house.
Wow... the sky was really beautiful and the sea breeze was splendid.

My expectation is rather low..
Just like.. sit together in a big group and play games or talk craps.
enough liao.... just a chance to ride bicycle with me also can.
there are some people who dono how to play MJ
or theres not enough of MJ table so they had to mingle with the
people in the living room which was basically me, Pengyee and Zhang ge.
aiya.. as long as got things for me to do can liao. Activities that include
large groups of ppl. maybe because i'm not a mah jong player thats
why i dono how to appreciate the game of Mah Jong.. thats why
i feel that playing together in larger group is more fun, more
interactive and bond wth other people better.

There were some momemts that i love. not in order though.

1. The beach ! I love the beach and the nature around.
too bad i after the chance to go to the beach with wee keat they all,
theres nobody to go to the beach with me after that. or maybe i forgot to
ask.. so i have not been to that beach before.

2. Cycling! i love to cycle around with my friends. its really fun and the wind
is damn strong. exploring the small island near there acrss the bridge. riding to
the place near Changi Airport as a group. or riding out to buy drinks.

3. the night part. the 1st night i get to talk craps while lying on the mattresses
with friends. I must say, its one of the most interesting part of the chalet..
i mean.. we can talk in such comfortable situation and gossiping and laughing and
talking about scary stuffs! HAHA. i really enjoy that very moment! Even if i don have
to sleep.

4. the first evening, when everybody was coming in to the chalet.
i saw a lot of people and some of them were different from the sec sch days.
haha. of cos la.. the guys become more handsome the ladies become prettier. some have
potential life long partners, some have done well in their fields of study.

5. The talking part. the one thats fun. No matter who i'm talking to, its fun.
really, there's not much chance for us to sit down and chit chat in our busy shedule.
Be it in the bus, the bus stop, the room, the living room, i would be most gladly to chat
with people. The loss Art of Conversation.

haha. i still stick to tradition. Different people have different preferences
too.. so i don expect other ppl to give up their favourite games or what.
The most important THING IS TO HAVE FUN !!! And i certainly did!
Anyway. i'm still glad to have this chalet becaue i get to see friends around and
play cards while talking. I hope for more gatherings !

2007-03-31T13:08:00.000+08:00

I had a wonderful week! firstly, i went to Ikea, Giant and Courts with my cousin.
Wow.. The giant and courts really sell a lot of things and i think that courts
specialize in electronic stuff and the Giant specialize in grocery and stuffs. Of course,
there are many things sold in Giant but i think majority for it is for eating and more
for our body and health.

Tuesday. Went to My friend's chalet. Very fun! cos there are only 4 people including me.
HAHA! we played majong on bed... Oh.. the chalet is in DownTown East. There is no
BBQ because they wanted a budget chalet. I was invited to go there and enjoy with them
and i'm glad. Thanks for inviting me Jason. We went fishing that tuesday night.
The pasir ris park was very very quiet and eerie.. The whole place looked deserted.
Jason didn't want to fish at the 1 first bridge we came across because its too dark and spooky.
We fished until 4am... could not fish any fish., but we had great time chatting and laughing. So we went back to chalet empty handed and slept for the rest of the nigt...

The next morning(wednesday), i accompany Hong Che out of the chalet because he had to go back
to TP.. Quite near right.. then i went home.. to rest.

The next day..Thursday. I went to Peng Ru's chalet to enjoy. which was at Aloha Loyang, organised by Cheng Long, J.U, Ah Hong, Peng Ru and Ivan.. near to the DownTown east chalet i went to the previous night. I helped them buy the charcoal and it was damn heavy but its ok since i could help them out. I think organizing a chalet is quite a difficult thing because there is a lot of thing you must pay attention to, like food, the people and the activities. Seems like every chalet there will be a mah jong table.

I went there and the first thing i did was to play PS 2 with Zhong ting they all. Lost.. but was really fun! Hang around and chat until BBQ time. A lot of people started coming in, people who i have never seen for quite some time. Glad to meet some people like, Jun Xing, Zhong Yang, Louis, Wei Zhong, Robin. etc. There were many other people from sec sch and who i know, so i would say that this chalet was a nice gathering for friends. Too bad most of the soccer gang were not there, except for QIng Long, Eugene, Elmer, Derrick.

Played D.O.N with them and it was damn funny because it was really hard to win. 4 characters
fighting each other and could not die. Laughed like crazy. WAtched BORAT that night.. LOL.
What a shitty story line and crude jokes but then still very funny. I think the humor in it made the show less offensive? haha. at around 2am, we played 4 player winning elevan against a computer.

4 players vs a computer was very difficult because you would see 4 players chasing after the ball and nobody would defend the goal post.. But we managed to play properly with coordination throughout the whole world cup but we lost to australia. HAHA. Had great fun playing through.
So every good times will come to an end, we had to pack up the next day for home... But they promised me that this kind of gathering would be an annual one, for secondary school friends to get together and i'm grateful to them. I tried to help them out with the chores next time. Not many people would have this initiative and kind thought to organize a gathering because it is really troublesome and tiring.

I am looking forward to the sec 5 chalet!

2007-03-25T10:32:00.000+08:00

Ah...
Lucky for me to have
holiday next month.
thats because i chose my
modules on the last day the
system allowed me to.
Even if i have holiday now..
i still need to take the module
next time in future...
and i maybe taking the modules
with other course people...

Alright.. since my holiday has
now started.
i'm going to talk about fun stuff.
no more work thing because i am
sick of work.
Friday... Did nothing
Just slack around to relax..
I didn't know that slacking is such
a blessing....
having the time to play games
is luxury..
Weeks before this holiday, i was
just madly rushing my projects..
i must plan what i am going to do
for every hours because
there is simply no time to waste..

Ok ok.. i went off track again..
ok. i'm not talking about work anymore.
ALIGHT!!
So saturday was a fun day..
We went out to celebrate Qing Long's Birthday.
Happy Birthday Qing Long.
Instead of going for the usual saturday soccer,
we went to Siloso Beach (sentosa) to play
volleyball as planned by Qing LOng..
Not bad leh..
I have never played volleyball before so
i must say, it is a very fun sport!
The only problem is the sun..
and the painful hand...

I get to experience a new sport and it's
really nice.
But one of my friends was disappointed
because there was not many bikini girls
LOL.
I am now sunburned
Its damn painful. Extreme
And i think that my skin condition has
deteriorated drastically.
Next time, i will apply sun screen before
being exposed to the intensive sun rays.
I think that i have stated in my previous
posts about the negative impact of having
sunburn right?

The rays agitate some pigment cells in your
body. So if the cells are over agitated,
they will be damaged and become adnormal
so sometimes they don't go back to their
usual colors and remain brown color because
they are over agitated..
or some will become white.. as they died off.

I have a lot of things to buy this holiday.
Not shopping because i dono how to shop

Table Lamp
Computer Chair
External HardDisk
and i forgot already..

haha.

2007-03-16T20:39:00.000+08:00

By the way, i am curious if you guys know
about the global warming.
I read the newspaper and WHOA... it is damn
bad.
There will be no more ice in 2040 to 2100 range.
Countries are suffering hot winter...
wah.. serious...
imagine you don't to wear winter gear during winter.
Majority of the people from every countries have
decided that it is really time to do something about it.
Whereas in India, majority of them thought that there
is no need for action unless there is really a problem.
So what you guys think.. give opinion..
I saw a lot of teenagers using plastic like free flow..
Can we do out part to conserve the world?

I tell you guys a joke alright
My dad found a set of keys for our house on a flower pot
outside the house.
I want to say, F*CK that dumb ass.
Stupid Tenant,
Didn't he know that putting the keys there people can
just take and come in?
ANd its f*cking obvious.
does his mother ever taught him about common sense.
Adult already, didn't know that its wrong to put
keys outside?
Wa lau eh... my house got so many things
people can just come in and take.
Where to hide my Things?
Stuff all the Tvs, DVD player, PS 2 inside the room?
Damn scary la.
Key put on flower pot... who taught him about his
shit.
that means i have to be careful what to put in the
living room..
Especially the other keys for the rooms..
Cannot put outside in case the tenants come take
the key and can get into our rooms.
If some criminals saw the keys on the flower pot,
they just come in, take another set of
keys and get into our room.
Do whatever he wants.. I think he still has
time to plan what to take with him first..
Dangerous house.
I don't think this is my home.

yawn....
after this month,
i really know the true
essence of time management.
I'm not going to waste my time
anymore.

Woo hoo..
my holiday is coming!!
I think it will last for 1 month.
hopefully my friends are free
if most of them working..
then i'm staying at home reading books.
But seriously, i hope i can spend the time
with them.
I can't do anything if my school gives us
projects and no holiday.
It's really hard to squeeze out a 4 weeks holiday,
hopefully the time is spent wisely.

Heard rumours that there may not
be holiday for us.
that means our next holiday is on september.
Thats gonna be unfortunate.
Don't give me series of unfortunate events.

I really like CREATIVE WRITING
It is one of the best modules i have ever had.
It is so fun and interesting.
There is not strict rules for what to write
and we can just write any stories.
Oh man. how good can this be!!
I've thought of a short story for my final
assignement for Creative Writing.

2007-03-08T00:37:00.000+08:00

2007-03-05T08:40:00.000+08:00

I realised that i am more and more like
ghost rider..
lol.
interesting right?
I believe that a lot of my friends are
also becoming more and more like him.
I'm not complaining about my life in this
post..
just something i thought of.
HAHA.
And if you are trying hard to find some
parts to prove that i am not completely similar
to that movie then you are just wasting your
effort.
I mentioned that i am becoming more like him
but i didn't mention that i am him.

Ok..
It's like my soul is now in the hands of my lecturer.
I got home around 6pm+ so
when i start doing my work, it is probably
at night...
Ghost rider also do things at night.
I must complete my project before i can
get my soul back from my lecturer and
enjoy my holiday afterward...
My body is not burning.. but i think
my mind is.. i need to sleep.

Oh ya.. almost forgot.
I have experienced a few coincidental things...
I don't know if its 6th sense or what la...
I hope i have.. but don think i have..
haha.
1st one..
My creative Writing lec wanted us to find an
author and talk about him...
I randomly picked one book from my shelf and
brought to school..
I realized that it is the same book where my
lec took the short story out for us to do
comprehension..
Coincidental...
i decided to do my research on him since its
fate that i chose that book..
I was even more surprised by Sunday times
yesterday....!
They interviewed him!! exactly the same author
i got my book randomly, where my lec got the story from...
Alfian Sa'at

2nd...
Nothing special..
The previous night i was thinking about mah jong..
i wanted to learn and play
I dreamt about mah jong last night but i
forgot what i was doing then.
Then the sunday new paper touched on
Mah Jong...

3rd...
Saturday..
when my friend was about to call me,
he saw me walking towards him..
Coincidental.
I played soccer for hours.
i felt tired so i asked for a substitue..
Minutes after i rested in the shelter
it started raining...
HAHAHA

4th...
There is some fireworks going on
in Kovan area
so i decided to go to my block highest floor
to have a look at what is happening..
Meanwhile i smsed wei feng to ask him
what is it about..
Then when i took the lift down,
it stopped at 5th floor then i was surprised
to see wei feng's dad walking into the lift.
Coincidental.

5th...
Sometimes when i leave home to school,
i will sometimes have a feeling that i forgot
to bring any thing..
but i always cannot remember..
But now...
I started to remember better what i have forgotten..
This feeling is always there..
or maybe everytime i leave home, i will forget to
bring something...?

6th..
most spooky.
A very sad one.
That morning i was with Kevin
and Daniel in the classroom.
Then suddenly my left eyelid started twitching...
I was told that something bad happened if my
left eyelid twiches..
so i asked daniel and kevin..
Kevin didn't believe this thing and daniel
did not look convinced too.
When i got home, my brother told me
that my uncle had passed away that morning..
I was like.. " Wtf... Can it even be so accurate?"
I was very sad then but i didnt show any emotion
on my face..
Rest In Peace Uncle..
We will take care of our cousins de.

I hope my cousins will stay strong
and take care of their mother.
Our gatherings will become less fun
without him around.
he died of heart attack while he was sleeping
and that was so sudden..
There was nothing wrong with him during
CNY and now he is gone....

2007-03-02T00:41:00.000+08:00

Sian..
when will i get back my soul?
I don't seem to be having any life now..

My friends are having holiday now
its so great!
They can go out together!
I cannot.. I have to complete my box art
and do my Creative Thinking...
My holiday is 3 weeks later.
Still long...
I hope my friends have not forgotten me..
since i have been staying at home doing
work for most of my days.

I don't want to fail any module...
I think i have screwed up for my VSC project 1
and i have to start early on project 2 or
else it will end up like project 1.

I'm starting to like Creative Writing.
I have chosen the right CDS.
I love coming out with stories.
WOO HOOOOOOO
BUt.. too bad there are a lot of things to
do for creative writing..
fortunately, some people there
recognized me.
I'm glad when people remembered me
because i have helped their friend before.

Freaking hell..
Freaking courses..
So obsessed with recruiting people
that they only show the good side
of doing the courses.

Why didn't anybody tell me that
my course is for the rich.
I think that they should have stated
VSC: For the rich.
Rich good right.?
Buy those nice and expensive things
No need to make so much effort,
just ask people to print out and they
will align for you if you give them more
money.

Rich enjoys a lot of things and benefits.
I read about some poor people without
insurance and the rich has so many.
What for spending $1 million to celebrate
mother's birthday?
Crazy guy.. instead of making his mother happy,
that money can bring life to a lot of people
is he telling me that SAVING PEOPLE will not
bring him satisfaction in life?
That's why everything is wrong in this money
Everything is linked with money.

In China, those rich people spend money
on unnecessary things whereas the farmers
don't even have enough food to eat and some
are bullied by the officials.
BUT i think people like us average income
learn more than those rich and pampered
kids.
Since young, there is a maid helping you.
Never read newspaper and think that
because your life is great so everywhere else
is also great.
You never know how to cherish your life.
You don't know how to appreciate the water
around when other countries will be fighting for water.
So pampered and cared that a slight set back will
turn your life up side down.
Tsk tsk tsk..
A lot of kids nowadays are pampered.

2007-02-22T00:35:00.000+08:00

Greetings...
I will blog my CNY stuffs next time..

DAmn it man...
I don't feel stress anymore!!
I don't care much about what other people think
anymore!!
Life is just an illusion only.
No matter what, life is just go on until one day
your life stops.
So i think its no point worrying about the things
around you.
If it can't be help then just don't bother about it,
but if it can be improved then do something.
I don't care because nobody cares.

today presentation..
3 mins... WHTAT THE FCUK . What shit can i say in 3mins
Only my lecturer and 4 more students listening to
me because one is the 2nd last, the rest are her
friends.
Everybody's presentation is good.
Mine is opening up my work and show my lecturer
and he will give some comments and that's all.

I waited from 3pm to 5.40pm+ and all i get is
3mins of my time.
Lucky i am working on my work.
So basically i go to school for 3 mins of showing my lecturer
what i have done and i can go.
Its funny if you respect everybody and listen to
their presentation and when its your turn,
you realised that 5% of the class are "coincidentally"
not yet leave the classmate and kindly listen
to what i want to say.

HAHAHA.
This world is rotten .
If not for some kind people around, i think we should
all die.
I sacrificed a lot and i don't care already.
I have to complete my work that i don't have
much time to spend with my friends to go
out or play.
I am not rich either, And please, go ahead and
call me stingy because i want to save a lot money
to print my work.
The printing is damn freaking expensive.
Go ahead and call me budget or cheapo or stingy
I only buy things that i really need man, so get lost
if you think what i am doing is wrong because it
is my life, you can choose not to interfere. : )

And everytime i can't go out and interact with my
friends, i feel down.
There will no doubt be a distance between us.
There will be a lot of things going on in their lives
that i dono..
so what they say i also dono
What they like i also dono.
I like to be closer to nature but who likes?
I don't want that to happen, but i am also worried
about my works.
I can't play games like my friends do, nor go shopping
often.
What can i do?, stay at home and do my freaking work.
GUYS, i have no life.... I am similar to playing Online games
all day long.

2007-02-14T07:53:00.000+08:00

Ahh.........
The presentation is finally over.
The next presentation is next wednesday
so i can relax a little bit now.
I can relax not for long because is either
i rush my project now or over the
the weekend which is Chinese New Year.
This is a seriously pain in the ass kind of
schedule.
What are they thinking?
How to celebrate CNY when we have to
present our design models immediately
after CNY?
I have to go to several places to print and
get the papaer i want and all these works
are going to take up a lot of time...!
WAh... SAD MAN!

It is always funny during my presentation.
I am always the last one so when it is my turn
to present, 90% of my classmates will start
to leave the room leaving only about a few
in the class.
So basically, i am presenting to my lecturer
and some friends.
The problem is that, i have shown my work to
the lecturer and friends during the consultation
and its like the same people.
This means that i am doing the same thing
in a different way.
I need comments from the rest but they
will not stay.
Well.. at least my lecturer did tell me how to
improve in my works after i shown him.
He keeps on looking at his watch and praising
me and i feel that he does not want me to ask
further Questions which will keep him back in class
longer..
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk..
but then he is very kind and friendly also..

Today is valentine's Day.. Wishing all the couples
in the world all the best and may they have a really
good time today..
Although everyday is a valentine's day for some,
but i don't think it will work.
I mean, everyday valentine's day..
I don't think humans have that much of a time
unless they have a very smooth life, good
and stable jobs, rich and no troubles.
Maybe make every one day in a week a valentine's day?
Happy valentine's day for the singles like me too!
I believe that we should enjoy our lives as a single
to the fullest.
I believe that there are a lot of things people cannot
do when they have a partner...
For example, spending a lot of time on the Career
going out and have fun with friends often...
Maybe i am not a good juggler of time and i am sure
that there are other people who can do a really good job
as young romantic partners.

"you are 19 years old?, are you sure?"

2007-02-09T23:11:00.000+08:00

haha...
so i am 19 years old now..
its pretty fast man..
I remembered my primary school days
playing all day long with my friends
we were so childish and have a lot of
dreams..
I remembered that my pri sch teacher
asked me to stand up and say what
we wanted to be when we grow up..
I said bugs buster... go around clearing bugs.
HAHaha. And now i am thinking of designing
things...

Secondary schools... met more friends..
experienced more things
witnessed more incidents
Attended funeral wakes and realised how
fragile humans are.
Witnessed those lonely old people, realised
how fortunate i am.
Looked at posters of illnesses and i'm so
afraid of them.
Read up on the different effects of illnesses
and the treatments required for each and i
know that it is really very frightening.

Now i am 19.. most of my friends around me
are going on 19.
19 is our last teenage year..
I noticed that i have been childish for 19 years.
I still talk like a kid now.
I looked back at those people in the past,
they were really more mature when they were
19 years old.. haha, don't know why..
So is this good or bad?
Will people see me as a kid?
or irresponsible, silly and lame?

I read about those proverbs from confucius
and some other people.
When i relate them together, i realised that
some sayings are contradicting one another.

2007-02-04T10:46:00.001+08:00

2007-02-04T10:14:00.000+08:00

Hey....... .... ..
Had a terrible Tuesday..
Had fever since monday..
My joints are damn painful and my
head is damn painful and hot.
I went to the Chinese Physician
and he told me that i may have
caught the dengue virus because
my symtoms are very similar to dengue
and that i have caught once before so
it is very important for me to take
a blood test which he does not have.

I went to Hougang Polyclinic from there and i tell you
I was really suffering like hell.
My whole body is in great pain, very tired and my head
was hot. That time i felt like giving up and call the ambulance
but i chose to endure in pain.
Crossing the road was dangerous for me because i could not
concentrate on the cars near-by.
Reached the Polyclinic, i waited for a long time for my turn
to consult the doctor. I could not sit still because my joint is
painful so i have to either sleep or move to distribute the pain
across my other parts.

I asked the doctor if he could give me an injection for my fever
and pain to subside because i didn't want to continue bearing the
pain. He said no need, but need some medicine.
He asked me to go back if there is any rashes on my body, or else
he assume that i was having a common flu.
FORTUNATELY.. i didn't get dengue.
I felt alright by Wednesday..
Maybe the virus was a weak one or my immune system
is getting better.

No life... doing what i like a.l.o.n.e..

2007-01-24T01:42:00.000+08:00

life has been harsh for me these days.
My time is fully booked for project and
project meetings.
I think because of this tight schedule,
i also cannot go out with friends.
I am slow... damn slow... in doing my works.
I want my work to look the way i like it,
so i keep on working on it.
But who's there beside me giving me all
the support?
Different timing....
the students in my class have different schedule
so don't really have the chance to meet up
except in class.
Some have lessons afterwards...
so i have to spend my reccess alone..
This feeling is damn disturbing and i am
not going to have lunch in TP alone.
So i sometimes walked faster and went outside
hawker centre to eat.

I believe that most people are not
interested in my life.
They have their own but that is fine with me.
I enjoy telling people inspirational stories, but
it makes most people want to sleep.
I want to talk about philosophy thing, but people
said that i think too much.
If people need help, i try to help.
I don't help because i want them to help me back.
I help them so that i feel useful to people,
but i don't help everybody.

At around 8.45pm as i was on my way home
from school, i have to cross a traffic light near my house.
This cat was surprised by my pressence and decided
to dash across the street.
The car almost killed it.
If it got run down by car, i don't think i can sleep tonight.

Stress = Nightmare?

2007-01-22T00:00:00.000+08:00

yo...
I don't know is i having too much stress or what until
i had a lot of weird and slightly frigthening dreams for
the past few days.

Last wednesday night i dreamt about my friends
and i having a normal days except that we realised
the world is going to end in 10 days later.
We were like trying to do as much things we like
as possible and some of us started crying.
I also realised that i have work so hard for the
past few years so nothing because the world is
ending soon. Everything will be lost by then.

Last thursday night, i dreamt about me with
only 1 leg then i was trying to walk past a hawket centre
to see my hospitalised friend, i forgot who. The floor
started tilting here and there then i could not balance
myself. I accidentally stepped on some oily stuffs and
i slipped and fell down. I sensed that my feet accidentally
brushed across something weird like some rubbish.
I immediately woke up and i looked at the time, it was
around 4am. I went to kitchen to have a drink and
on my way back i noticed a small black oval shape thing
on the floor. Oh gosh... It is a female cockroach.
SO my dream is rather real and my instinct alerted me
to wake up to do something while i was sleeping.
LOL.. sometimes we should use our instinct because
its rather accurate. oh by the way, the cockroach can
fly so its a female.

ok.. i shall get back to do my calender, see ya.

Issues worth consideration.

2007-01-18T21:57:00.000+08:00

Alright Zhiwen. If i know how to add a forum kind of thing in
my blog, i will do it. In case there are people like you who would
want to give a very long constructive comment to my post.

WAh... hahahah.. I really learn a lot of things from my friends
today. They shared with me a lot of their thoughts although some
times their thinking clashed with my thinking but i think it
is alright. I prefer to have constructive arguements whereby
each of us makes our stand and share our thoughts reinforced
by our experience and facts we know. One thing important when
having an arguement is to have respect. Listen to what other people
have to say before you say something, and make sure the things
you are going to say is factual, constructive and not craps

Arguements allow us to look at things in a different way.
Although we think we are right, but sometimes, we think
we are right eventhough we are wrong.
We won't know.. and if nobody points out our mistake
then we will never learn.
sometimes, there may not be any right or wrong answer
but still, you learn something.
Always respect other's opinion and point of view, because
not everything has a definite right or wrong.

I know a lot of people know about the stuffs above,
but i am still writing it down because i want to remind
myself of that. I will still crap, joke or play around but i
make sure that i will still have some rooms for
this kind of arguements, if someone else wants to talk
in this kind of serious manner that is.

THERE IS NO RGHT OR WRONG !

HAving a break

2007-01-14T09:09:00.000+08:00

Ah... has a quite a while ever since i have last posted

here.

I have 2 modules for this block(month).

The first lesson starts at 9am and ends at 12 and the

other lesson starts at 3pm and ends at 6pm.

I really don't like this kind of timing because i always

reach home feeling tired and am reluctant to do my work.

The same routine for every weekdays.

I have a lot of works to do like writing 2K essay on

design idea and making a calender using illustrator for

Digital Essentials.

I must say that pretty like Digital Essentials and Communicating

Design Ideas because i get to learn more about illustrator through

the formal and how to express my idea through the latter.

I don't really have much time to meet up with my friends

except for saturday.

Especially friday...I reach home late and i have to rush my work

just in case i could not finish by next monday.

I quite understand what they mean by moving too fast

in life and having no time to appreciate the beautiful things

around. The design school system has really contribute to

the drifting of our friends. As you can see, we change our classes

every month and if we have a bunch of good friends, we won't

know when's the next time we get into a same class.

Fortunately, i have managed to find some, a close group,

whom i can talk to openly and not being afraid of being

judged. I am too, glad that i still keep in contact with my secondary

friends because i have known they for so long and am close

to them. Thanks friends.

I had an individual presentation last friday and i know

very well that it sucks, however, i did smile by the end of

the day. Why? Its because i realised that i am less nervous

when i stand infront of the class. When i went to the front,

its like i was possessed and suddenly i had a lot of things to

talk about, things outside of my prepared script. By then,

i know that my presentation skill has improved.

2007-01-01T19:50:00.000+08:00

I had a wonderful christmas eve last year.
On the christmas eve, my friend derrick invited
me on board a ship for a christmas gathering.
Although i didn't know anyone there except
for him and his family members,
I had a wonderful hard-to-get experience.
It's very difficult to have the buffet on board
on ship because i always feel like vomitting,
so we have to wait until the ship gets closer
to shore where the water is calmer.
It was raining heavily that night and the wind
strong shaking the ship hard.
His family drove me home at night.
His family is so close and enthusiastic, having
some much things to talk about.
How i wish that my family and i can go out together.

My christmas day is equally as good because my friends
invited me to my teacher's house for a gathering.
The christian friends of my teacher came over
for carolling and that is the first time i experienced
the joy of carroling.
After which is a mini quiz, but i was unable
to answer most of them because most
of the questions are taken from the bible.
I played a surprising exciting PS2 game with
prilala and omg.. i was thrashed badly.
Despite how much effort i put in, i could not
get near to her score.. LOL.
Soon, the house was filled with people
and some guys accidentally broke my teacher's bed.
WOW....

Stories - The Scholar and the Boatman
Author Unknown
Once upon a time, there lived a scholar who had mastered many languages, the ancient scriptures, including the Vedas, arguably the oldest surviving texts in the world, epic literary works and so on. He was unparalleled among his peers and he was very proud of himself.

One day, he wanted to cross a river and hired a boatman. Sneering silently at the boatman’s lowly profession, the scholar asked him, “Have you ever studied the Vedas?”

The boatman said matter-of-factly, “No, I am not educated and I cannot read or write”.

Pouncing on this response, the scholar snickered, “Oh, you have wasted one-fourth of your life time by not knowing the Vedas!”

Not content to end it there, the scholar continued, “What about the great epics then? Have you ever listened to them?”

The boatman replied, “I have no time to read the epics as I leave for work very early in the morning to ferry people across the river and return home very late”.

To this the scholar said, “Oh, you have wasted half of your life time by not listening to the great epics!”

The scholar continued, “Have you at least known languages other than your mother tongue?”

To which the boatman said he never travelled outside his native land and hence, had no opportunity to learn other languages. The scholar said, “Oh, then you have wasted three-fourths of your life time”.

By this time, the boat had covered half the distance and it was in the middle of the river. The boatman noticed that water was entering through a small hole in the boat.

He asked the scholar, “Oh, respected scholar! Do you know swimming?”

The scholar replied, “I have no time to waste in learning swimming. I can just pay a small charge and cross the river at any time.”

The boatman said, “Oh respected scholar! By not knowing swimming, you have wasted your whole life time. The boat is going to sink very soon. I’m exhausted from rowing and only have the strength to swim to the bank myself…”

A nice saturday...

I was playing soccer in upper

court with friends as usual.

We met some HIHS friends..

have not seen them for a long time,

chatted with them for awhile.

I only played a few matches

because i had bad blisters on my feet.

Tsk.. Tsk.. Tsk..

I got home earlier and i forgot to

bring my T-shirt.

Thanks weifeng and Des for helping

me to take.

I rested at home for a while and met

up with my cousins.

Had a really nice, filling and healthy dinner,

consisting of a plate of steamed rice, chicken soup

3 dumplings (jiao zhi).

Meadered around J8 to wait

for my cousin's gf to fetch us.

I noticed a lot of discounted price

in J8.

My cousin's gf is very kind to

drive us to anywhere we wanted, but

we could not make a decision.

So she drove us to Suntec city for

the mid night sales.

It is really nice to have a car.

You can get anywhere at any time.

We touched up on many issues like

Relationships problems.

I could say that i really learnt a lot

from my cousin's gf,

something that i could not

have learnt from books or

in school.

I am really glad that she agrees

to my philosophies in life.

2006-12-13T15:49:00.000+08:00

So i am having holiday now.

Spending most of my time alone.

Watching VCDs.

This shows that i am a boring

person.

Aiya.. i do go out.. for exercise with

friends and stuffs.

I am not that pathetic.

I'm not going to act cool or

fake my interest, to win

other people's heart or to gain

popularity.

Some people are naturally popular

and that's good.

I read like 9 books this holiday.

Because i am bored and i

am confident that my boredem

will force me to read books

and so.. i did.

Read about many stories and

different kind of characters in people.

Maybe one day i will find someone

who likes to do the things i do.

Maybe one day you and i will meet

a person who likes to do the

things you like whichother people

think is stupid, bo liao or childish.

LOL.. childish.. why grow up so fast?

You grow up faster, as if your life

will be happier.

I am blessed.

I have some interests common with

most of my friends.

And yeah... i am writing boring things

again.

You have finished something really boring

and yea, i must thank you.

I appreciate your time.

Not many people are as good as you,

who willing to take the time and

look at the lives of the friends

around, and show concern.

Thanks and have a good day.

2006-12-10T21:27:00.000+08:00

I know that not many people will not

believe this.

I know that looking tan is nice for

some people.

It makes you look sporty and like

out doors.

While a slight tan is good, getting

sun burn is definitely not doing you

any good.

Sunburn accelerates the aging process,

manifested by wrinkles and a pebble

stone appearance of skin, which develops

over time. It is also a culprit in the increased

risk of cataracts and skin cancer.

The above is taken from a reliable source.

If you think that going out for volley ball, soccer

and swimming from 10am - 3pm, i seriously

advice you to apply sunscreen or play awhile

and rest for awhile.

Going out to beach under the afternoon sun

is not COOL at all.

So... health is more important than

looks.

So try to avoid hot sun.

Don't get the wrong idea that i am telling you

to be sissy or nerd who stays at home all day..

Just go out and play under the sun with ample

protection or proper clothing or try the evening

4pm+ sun.

If you think that getting sunburn

makes your skin darker and you really like tan

that much, i suggest you think again.

2006-12-08T23:23:00.000+08:00

Life is short.

Don't be too bothered with what people

think about you.

That's what i always tell myself.

I am unique in my own ways.

I admit that i am imperfect.

If i kept thinking about why that person

is looking at me, what that guy

would think about me, wouldnt i

be living a world to suit others?

Yes i will be considerate.

Yes i will be responsible.

Yes i will obey rules.

If you keep doing things base how people

will judge you, your life wont be happy.

In the worse case scenerios,

you will be buying a shirt based on

what other people would like to see you in.

This is pretty dumb.

Or maybe you should say yes because

that guy want you to say for his request.

When you are young, you think about

having a good looking girlfriend.

You think that good looking girls would prefer

good looking guys.

When you gets older, you realised that

it is time to come to reality.

It is really not that easy to find a good looking

girl that LIKES YOU.

good looking girls and boys will also

encounter the same problems

just like any couples in this world.

Appearance is not a bond..so guys... wake up,

don't be too worried about looks anymore..

People don't like you because you have

great bodies and looks.

They like your sincerity, your guts, your

sense of justice, your love for your friends.

Unless the remarkable girl friend said:

"oh.. my BF is flirting with other girls, but

hey.. he is handsome so i shld forgive him"

As you grow old, you realised that everybody

around you are ageing.

You will realise that appearance only satisfy

your eyes.

20 years down the road.

I gaurantee that your once gorgeous boyfriend

or girlfriend is going to be....

not that good looking anymore.

What you see is no longer the appearance,

but the inner beauty of that person.

Look for good attributes like honesty, responsible, good

attitude, willing to tolerate you. etc.

that will last in the relationship for the years

to come... although some people

might change.. ( exceptional )

If money can give you happiness, then go find

a wealthy spouse. Just like parents..

they work hard to make money.

They have a lot of money.

They hire a maid, buy a lot of toys.

When you are young, you think that you are happy

to have lots of toys, piano, air con, big rooms

when you grow up, you feel that what

accompanies you throughout your childhood

are some expensive toys, maids, swimming pool..etc

Where are your parents?

Imagine this.. after school, you and your friend

is waiting to be fetched.

The mother of your friend, carried a small umbrella

to shelter your friend while she is getting drenched.

As for you, your dad's worker drove your dad's

car to fetch you.

Maybe you think you are lucky...

Your mind tells you that you are lucky..

what about your heart?

Money = power..

Gives you cars, houses, cards, priviledge, clubbing...

But then i can tell you.

The joy of having everything on earth is also

very similar to the joy of

enjoying every single day making an honest living..

the accomplishment of everyday work, everyday

success in small things.

As you grow slowly from having no money

to buying your first computer.

That is also a joy.

Joy depends on what you see in life.

If you think money makes you happy.

Then so be it.

I NEVER SAY THAT MONEY IS NOT IMPORTANT.

everything that i wrote here is my own

preference.. you can agree with me

or disagree with me.

2006-12-03T11:14:00.000+08:00

I was really bored last friday

so i decided to go to Upper Pierce Reservoir.

I brought along the street directory, compass,

water bottle, kind of stuff that you would bring

along for hikes.

I didnt bring everything.

I made a search in online street directory

and i set off at aroud 3pm.

I like this kind of going-out-and-explore

kind of activity.

The area around there is quite nice.

I walked through the jungle trails and i was

worried about creatures like snakes because

i was alone then.

I saw the sign board that shows the different kind

snakes.. one is the tree snake, harmless to humans

because the venom is too weak.

The other one that caught my eyes is the Python.

I remembered the incident of a dog being strangled

to death by a python and i know that i may be in

danger.

I thought to myself that a python can never grow

to the size of being a threat to a teenager like me.

There is a terribly lack of food here.

They can only eat.. rats, frogs, small snakes, insects..

How to grow big? Growing big = need more food = starve.

They have no poison...

If a small python bite you and it attempt to wrap

around you, find its neck and hold it with your 2 hands.

If you can competely surround its neck, you can apply

pressure and the snake will release it's grip.

HOWEVER...

If the python is one adult size( in other countries)

... and if you don't have

enough force to strangle it before it strangle you...

I think you are dead...unless you have something sharp.

I increased my pace in case the snake that i would meet

is a King Cobra.. Yea... Singapore has King Cobra..

The place is extremely relaxing... i saw a lot of families having

picnics there.

Very queit and the breeze is great.

I saw some monkeys eating flowers and jumping around,

so close that i can touch it. So Cool...

I am going to bring some of my friends there, if

they are interested that is.

2006-11-30T11:03:00.000+08:00

Alright.. what i am going to blog today is

what happened last saturday.

Soccer as usual. After soccer we went home

and met up at Marina Square to celebrate

Desmond's birthday..

The name is called Spaghetti. I think so..

And as the name stated, the shop is

selling mostly pasta, spaghetti, pizza dishes.

The waitress was pretty friendly and she told

us to go have a walk and that she would call us

when there were available seats for 11 people.

We walked not further than 6m and she called...

I ordered some sort of pasta which i didnt even know

the name..

And.. OMG... it looks like 2 rolls of popiah.

and the gravy is all cheese... inside cheese outside cheese

everywhere cheese, i sprinkle extra cheese and... gosh

this is the first time i had so much cheese in a day.

It is so nice man... you guys should come and try..

The waiters there are very friendly and helpful.. ( ought to)

There were 3 survey lists on the table and

i wrote about the girl..

I wrote under the comment that.

"she is very friendly and is always ready to serve us,

she made the effort to call us when there are available

seats and we are greatly appreciate it."

I wanted to give to the manager but then

she came to collect..

So i had to hand in to her..

And she went to read... wth.. she started smiling

a lot and giggling.

I came upon some really funny clips in youtube.

Some are introduced by my friends.

The key words are.

Miss swan

Ask a ninja

South Park

funny commercial

MTV boiling point

etc.

So when you are feeling down.. go youtube and watch

those funny clips..

It is really healthy to laugh.. just laugh..

If people said that you are mad, i think that person has

a miserable life. Laughing is good.

ahh..... i wanted to sell away the discus fish

in my house.. I am finding a buyer.. And...

2 days ago my cousin and i went to a fish farm

but we were afraid of going in because

there were dogs barking loudly..

and i really don't how to pass by some barking dogs..

is there any tactic of doing that?

I searched the internet and found some, but then

i am still very afraid of them.

I like dogs who are friendly and hate dogs who are

aggressive... haiz...

oh ya.. i forgot to mention something.

As i was travelling to CGH

i saw a little young around pri 1 - 2 at a

bus stop in a very deserted place.

The road is just before the old tempines

road.

There are no houses near-by so i was

wondering what was the young girl

doing there.

If she was lost.. then how did she managed

to get there.

Maybe she was kidnapped and she escaped?

haha. Creativity.

I have thought of getting down the bus

to help her out because i don't think its

safe for a young girl in that ulu ulu place alone.

However, i thought to myself that nothing will

happen because it's just around 5.45pm not

at night.

She stood outside of the bus stop as if trying to flag

the bus but then the bus didnt stop and just went

past.

The girl is really young and she's in that deserted place

alone... I will be really scared if i were there and same age

as her.

I went to yishun to catch shrimps yesterday at around 10am

with my friend.

It's not those cheap feeder shrimps but rather

expensive malayan shrimps.

They can't grow big and their small sizes and colours make

them a nice pet to keep.

The sun was really scorching our skins and the

slopes are really steep.

Unfortunately, all we managed to catch are those normal feeder

shrimps and some rare catches like 2 spiny eels.

I went to his house and his dog kept barking loudly.

He put his dog away and i went in and when he released

the dog, the dog became really quiet and played with me.

Dogs are so cute, his dog retrieved the ball which i threw

and put it nicely in my hands.

Then he followed me everywhere i went.

His pet love bird didnt fly out when it was released because

the bird was well tamed.. so cute, the love bird flew to his

shoulder and stand.

The lovebird will become angry when my friend does

not take it out and play with it.

The lovebird wants affection and attention from him, wow,

that is so troublesome.

Rest at home for awhile and went to Changi General Hospital

to see nigel and friends.

He recovered a lot, at least he can move around now.

crapped a lot.

Joked here joked there with friends.

as if we were entertaining nigel..

Ok.. nigel's going to be alright now.

A soldier was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.

"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favour to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."

"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."

"There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."

"I'm sorry to hear that, son,” the parents said. “Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."

"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."

"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him.

A few days later, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building.

The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know - their son had only one arm and one leg.

Wah.... so many things happened in 1 week.

I suffered quite a lot of injuries last saturday

because of that poor attitude problem kid

who is so afraid of losing that he went all out

to play extreme soccer.

Bruises here and there, knee pain..

The next day after soccer, i had a very bad

sore throat, followed by running nose and

bad caugh. I think is because of the unhygienic

soccer court.

People throw rubbish and spitting everywhere.

And now my friend is in hospital because of soccer also.

Met him in pri 1.

a very nice guy who is always so steady.

Always play soccer with us...

did wrong things together and got punished.

I still remembered a lot of things that happened

in Pri Sch and Sec Sch..

Like without him around, the class can be

very boring.

such a nice guy and always like to joke.

Like those happy-go-lucky kind.

But now he is in hospital...

I hope to see him running around

or saying funny things.

I wish i can work during school days.

So that i have a lot of money for me to use.

So that when my friends go out to play,

i can go and use the money i like.

I have been saving my money in my bank

because ever since young, i have thought about

in the coming future, i may need that much of

money for my education or investment like

buying a camera, computer, scanner.

The sad part is

My schedule is sometimes packed sometimes

slack in school.

Those things that i need to buy for school work

do not come cheap.

2006-11-16T22:31:00.000+08:00

When it comes to a decision.

I usually listen to others.

I don't want to disappoint people,

because i understand the feeling of

being rejected or disappointed.

But life really sucks when you always

listen to others' and nobody

wants to listen to you.

When i want to go somewhere, i

always hear comments like.. Bo liao,

lame, busy.

When people want to go somewhere,

i will say. OK.. where?, can, no problem.

if i am really free.

Even when gaming.

I said one hero is good, sure, 100%, confirm,

guranteed, somebody is going to argue back.

I don't know why.

maybe i looked stupid to you guys.

Everything i said is stupid, is wrong, does not

make sense.

And i have been following you guys,

listening to you guys, being joked by you guys

or accepting the every ideas.

2006-11-16T11:21:00.000+08:00

Lets grow up.

Be more intelligent.

Be more sensitive.

Learn to look at things at different perceptions.

Learn to look and listen to both sides.

Just because a boy cheated you out of money,

does not mean that everyone of his race, religion

are cheaters.

Do not be a stereotype.

Your parents told you a lot of bad things about

your neighbor.

They may be right, but may be wrong..

You have to find the truth by yourself.

Stop believing somebody just because he/she

is more mature or intelligent than you.

Or his/her words are very convincing.

Learn to look at different sides.

Balance the pros and cons.

Not everything is as bad as you think or

as good as you think.

A scenerio.

Jame's parents had been killed.

His uncle kept telling him to seek revenge

against another family.

He did so because his mind is full of hatred.

He did not spend time finding out the truth beneath.

But the truth is..

His parents had killed the all the people in another

village.

2006-11-14T08:29:00.000+08:00

I was watching Incredible Tales last Sunday night.

I went to the kitchen to read Newspaper and suddenly,

i heard a loud "thug".

I walked towards the window and looked down.

Its seemed that a bucket of white paint had been

threw down from 5th storey and above.

The the whole area within 5 metre radius, has been

stained by the white paint.

The bucket was badly damaged and the lid was

folded.

My imagination just ran wild for about 5 minutes,

then i started to think about how the cleaner is

going to clear up that mess.

Irresponsible citizen..

So dangeous.

2006-11-12T13:00:00.000+08:00

Money money money...

money brings happiness and sorrow.

You can do a lot of things with money.

Technology.. Money.. these artificial things

are getting too much into our lives..

As a friend, i must warn you guys not to be

too dependent on Technology and Money..

These two things are enough to destory the world.

Technology is good but too much of it is over kill.

People spend less time going out because they

have computer games to play, MSN to use,

telephone to call.

But what we need is not just to listen to some voice,

or look at some words.

We need someone to sit infront of us and chat with us.

See their expression, look into their eyes, know their

feelings.

When we talk while looking into someone's eyes, we

know when that person is getting pissed off, or sad or

bored so we can drop the subject or apologise.

This will build a relationship filled with

forgiveness and understanding.

You know the problem with playing online games or

using msn?

Is because YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT PERSON

IS FEELING RIGHT NOW!.

So what if she/he puts a smiley face?

Is he really happy or is he pretends to be.

Do you know why people scold one another's mother

or father in online games like dota or CS?

Is because they don't see the person's face.

They didnt know that by saying those

vulgar words will hurt the another person's feelings.

Do you know why there is road rage?

Its the same theory.

The 2 drivers cannot see each other face

He does not know that another driver is

feeling apologetic right now.

So he thought that the other driver is

doing that stupid move on purpose.

So guys.. stop using too much of the technology

and go out to be with your friends.

When you know that your life is limited, lets say,

can only live for few months. You won't

think of the games which you have not completed

or the computer which you have not upgraded.

You will think of your friends, your family,..

and you may regret not spending precious time

with them...

This world needs love. Seriously.

Poor friends can still spend valued time together

just as rich friends can.

People don't use how much the present costs to

measure how sincere that person is or how

strong the relationship is.

Life is not about working and earning money.

Thats why there are people who are rich, yet

commited suicide because there is a void in their

lives. They feel that everything is not enough.

You look at the world now.

Many singaporeans don't stop and help an old

lady to carry things because, they are busy.

Busy what?

Busy working or studying.

They want to be better than the rest.

Are you going to be like them or

at least, slow down the speed in your life and

appreciate the goodness in everyday life.

Appreciate the friends who make the effort to

organise gathering, the mother who cooks the

healthy food, the woman next door who gives

you some snacks, the friends who make you

laugh....

2006-11-06T10:17:00.000+08:00

HAHAHA..
i just love this month.
Everyday, reach school by 12.
Everyday watch a short video in lecture theatre.
Listen to this lecturer who is very friendly and funny.
Class ends before 3pm..
Time to head home! OMG. Its so relaxing.
HOwever..... we have to stay back to do the
projects..
The projects are easy and yet hard to do.
There is no specific answer, no right or wrong.

Friday.. I woke up early in the morning
to go to National Skin Centre for a doctor
appointment.
After a thorough search, she told me that
there are some warts left on my skin.
Oh My G0d.. It means another 2 month of
that gruelling treatment.
Spraying of -192 degree celcius of liquid nitrogen.
At first it is not painful.
The last few session is really very unbearable.
Imagine, you have a large blister and it has just healed,
leaving that area red and swallon.
Then that nurse spray that thing onto that very
same spot... similar to the poking of the wound..

watch this everybody.. this is really funny!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIqkirjIAiE
the part one...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igYZY76XNDk
The part 2..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKQSKE1Mw88
the part 3..

Its about south park and World Of warcraft.. its really funny
please watch it. No regret!

Friday night went to chomp chomp for
dinner with friends.
The food is damn tasty and mic is very
funny that day. hahahah
after that we went to prila house...
slacked around and played with tarot cards..
Nigel came.
We played worms on handphone together..
sounds fun? no no. its pretty boring..
you hardly kill one worm.. despite getting
hit by Bazooka frequently, the worms
are still in good condition.. WTH..

2006-10-29T09:48:00.000+08:00

I have been waiting for this
day ever since the the start of
last block.
The end of the block has arrived.
Which means i have 2 days to rest
before the start of the coming block.

I managed to finish DI after 2 days
of 2am sleep.
I think some of my friends are worse.
Can use computer until 4am...
Our DI lecturer ( digital imaging) gave
us the last assignment which is to create
a tabloid for news, 2 weeks in advance.
I created this..

I apologise for the lousy resolution

because the clearer high resolution

picture could not be uploaded here.

haha.

Saturday was so so only..

I think its because i was in a very poor

form that day, therefore my teammates

were feeling rather disappointed.

I seriously think that its my shoes that

caused the problem.

I find it slippery when wearing that shoe.

Its time for me to change it i guess.

Could not stay with my friends because i

had to meet my Basic Video crew in TP

for editing the coming video.

My teammates are really amazing.

None of them is thinking of slacking or what.

Each of them do their part and i can

really feel the team spirit.

After that i rushed back home to prepare

to go for my grand pa's celebration.

I'm really glad that my grandparents are

still healthy because i have a lot of old

folks having problem walking or with

illnesses.

I have also seen old folks wandering around

selling tissue paper and i really feel down.

I will visit my grandparents more often

because they had taken care of me when i was

young and i will feel very uncomfortable or guilty

if i ignore them now.

And friends. if you have grandparents in your house.

Its quite good.

They can see you everyday and im sure that they

will be really happy.

Be with them. Make them happy. Talk to them.

Please. Everyone of us will grow old someday

and We won't like it when our children and

grandchildren ignore us right?

Always follow your conscience and not rule.

2006-10-26T01:05:00.000+08:00

Things are not as bad as we see.

I saw something that really change my

view towards that gecko on the wall infront

of me.

At around 11pm, this gecko climbed up

the wall infront of me.

I could catch it and throw it away but i

didnt, because i was lazy to.

It hid behind a lamp.

Minutes later, some flies stopped on

the wall and the gecko rushed out and

ate them one by one.

So cool...so fast... it caught and chewed

its prey infront of me.

After that it went back to its hide out.

A baby cockroach climbed up the wall and

it quickly rushed out again and caught hold of

that cockroach before it can even react.

Its quite interesting.

The gecko is like hunting for food now.

It helps to kill those irritating insects in my house.

Especially the Cockroaches.

haha.

Oh ya.. lets be frank.

I want to know if some of us

study the diploma because the road

may provide us a stable income and above

average lifestyle?

or just because we want to go through poly

and get on with our lives?

or to get the neccessary skills so that

we can get nearer towards our ultimate goal.

Be it JC, ITE, POLY, every students should

face this.

Are we moving through the road of education

towards a job which we like OR

the jobs which people think will provide

a stable income?

Do not study and work for 30+ years and realised that

you are lacking of something in your life.

So what if you have plenty of money, cars and cards but

you are still not satisfied in life?

2006-10-22T11:42:00.000+08:00

Yeah... we have finally completed our 2nd assignment.

I am happy to have such wonderful team mates.

We do quarrel a lot because each of us have different views

and ideas.

However, we understand that all of our ideas are for the

good of the whole project, so we tolerate and accept each

other's opinion and that is very good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMcx8D7B8cs

It is our first time making a short clip, so please don't

expect it to look like those movie trailers.

haha..

Its quite exhausting to act out because there is NG

for every single scene.

I have to try again and again and again...

Worse still, i am in the public and many people are

looking at us.

I am really happy that the video turns out just fine.

And i must thank my group member for creating this

video based on the idea which i posted weeks ago.

Do you still remember that post which was about

an exaggeration of a really cheap date?

We are working on our 3rd assignment, which is

another short video...

Went all the way to pasir ris farm way.

Beside a filthy drain.

We done that yesterday.

2006-10-15T14:54:00.000+08:00

A movie poster designed by me for my

assignment.

The movie name is thought by me.

haha. quite fun to do although we are

given on monday and have to finish by

thursday.

Didnt really have time to do it because

i only reach at 7pm.

I asked my friend to take picture of me

on tuesday but my lecturer rejected them

because the camera mega pixel is too low.

It sucks.. i won't want my face to be inside

if my lecturer allowed us to choose.

I wish i can find a person who is patient

enough to listen to me.

Who won't laugh at me,

won't aruge with me,

won't leave me before i can finish my say,

won't criticise me..

Just someone who will listen to me attentively,

smile and say " yes... i understand".

Will be interested in what i am saying.

Will question me about the topic of what i am saying.

Will wait till i finish talking before he/she start saying,

motivating and caring words.

I think its hard to find such people.

2006-10-11T01:20:00.000+08:00

Seems like i still can't get use to this block teaching.

I will feel really tired and cranky as soon as i wake up

everyday, because i know that it's going to be a long day

away from home.

When the last lesson is about to end, i still can't get happy

because i know that i have plenty of works to do at home.

Well... still doing that movie poster now.

I'm noob at photoshop so it really is torturing me right now.

Lecturer told us that we could only use pictures that we shot

over the weekends.

I was having lunch with 2 of my friends and their conversations

are unlike those teenagers who i came across.

One has already has a company of his own, set up together with his

friends. They are receiving works and are paid to do.

Another friend is freelance photographer and designer.

That friend knows a lot and i mean really A LOT of design stuff.

He has done freelancing work before.

I asked him how he manage to know and experience so many things

and he told me that he has a mentor and he met the right people.

He asked me to be an apprentice with my uncle who is a designer too.

To learn, to see and to experience.

The conversation with those 2 took about 1 hr something.

I find it very meaningful and i really learn a lot from them.

They are both younger than me by 1 year and the way they speak is

like adults.

They are already talking about business now.

My friend has name cards already and is now designing some stuff for

other people's wedding.

They seem to be able to open up my mind to look further into the future.

Now that my goals are clearer, i feel that i am one more step nearer

to my ultimate dream.

Have not seen my friends for quie some time

i wish that i can meet them this coming friday and saturday.

2006-10-09T08:46:00.000+08:00

Talk so much, do so little.

Promise for what?

Only knows how to make people

happy for 2 mins by your lies.

Say so much " i love you", "together forever"

"we will miss you" for what?

In the end, the result is still the same right?

These phrases are so commonly abused that

they no longer have the value.

They become just some English phrases.

We do not want to hear bullshits and farts.

We want to see you do and prove it to us,

show us your sincerity.

When you have no one to support and your life

feels like shit, they come and support.

You feel happy and are able to find new people.

When they feel miserable in their lives, you didnt

care about them because you have other people to count on.

They no longer exist in your life.

I witness you gossiping and talking fun stuff about other people

with them and how bad and lousy other people are.

Time past and soon i found you being happily with the other

people whom you said they sucks.

What about the "them"?

I witness you ignoring them because you have the other people.

When you are a nobody, the group help you.

Your works become better but you didnt give them credits.

You are now a successful person yet those who helped you

didnt get any shit.

2006-10-07T11:12:00.000+08:00

I was asking around to find a gathering for mid autumn

and i'm disappointed with the responses. But Luckily....

PengRu invited me to a mid autumn gathering at Punggol park

just 1 day before.

But it seems rather disappointing to me because

only 6 of us went.

Last year there was about 15 of us.

We joked and laughed around, playing cards.

Lit those candles and lanterns and they are so

beautiful.

Some of them started playing chess.

Shi Ping invited me to another gathering in punggol park.

I realised that they were just around the area.

Shiping was with xiu bin, felin they all

The group is rather big consisting of the close group of

girls from sec sch.

Have not seen them for a very long time.

so nice to see old classmates again.

Very near... so i can pop around the 2 groups.

I met PB and donavan too.

After all the fun time, everybody started packing up

either because they have to have work the next day

or rushing home to play games.

Haiz... I didnt experience the fun and excitement there

as much as those when i was young during mid autumn.

I thought that it's too early for the fun to end, so i

decided to go derrick's house to play games.

I met Janice, CPS they all at harmony park.

Reached there and only to find myself saying " Hi.. Bye.."

Played winning elevan until 4am until i could no take

it anymore.

My passing is like shit...

I was half asleep so I didnt control my player well.

haha.

Slept until today.

After all the fun, i must get down to

work on my assignments.

Yeah... it is mid autumn tomorrow.

It is also a tradition for me to go somewhere

to burn candles.

Ya... sounds very lame, childish, bo liao,

nonsense, rubbish, nth-better-to-do for

somebody.

But still ! i am celebrating it that way!

Luckily, i have found a group of friends

who also want to meet up during the night

for some fun!

Yesh.... punggol park. Looking forward to

Friday's night.

Mid-Autumn is one of my favourite

festival.

Too bad, nowadays, most kids prefer staying

at home to play games or watch TV than

to go out and have some fun.

Except for those kids who are studying.

notice my post getting shorter?

haha, its because i don see the point

to write so much.

I'm starting to pen down my thoughts

on paper for myself to read.

I don't think people

are visiting my side so

its more convenient to write down

instead of switching on the computer.

2006-10-04T20:14:00.000+08:00

Lecturer didnt come again..

Went home to slack and play games.

Reached home at around 9.35am and rush games.

DOTA and Diablo.

My results are bad..

I am feeling disappointed.

I think a lot of people are already a head

of me.

So how?

LUCKILY, i watched an inspirational

clip in Youtube.

Heard of Dick and Rick?

The strongest dad in the world is Rick's father.

Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son,

Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons.

Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in

a wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy

while swimming and pedaled him 112 miles in a seat

on the handlebars--all in the same day.

A father who does not know how to swim.

Does not ride a bicycle ever since young.

Does not usually run.

All of the above did not stop him from achieveing

the incredible result.

Don't have much time to write blog anymore.

My module, Basic Video starts at 9am ends at 12.

My next module, Digital Imaing starts at 3 ends at 6pm.

The lecuturer from Basic Video teaches us how to

make short videos..obviously....

Our individual assignment is to take pictures and put

together to make a story..

Like frame by frame put together...

Yawns.... reach home at around 7pm... how am i going

to do that?

Assigment today.... hand in by friday.. i seriously don't

know how to do it. Im a totally noob there!.

Luckily i have a group of friends there, we can help one another.

Digital imagin is nice!

He teaches us how to use photoshop and it is so amazing.

The photoshop can do a lot of amazing stuffs!

I think both lecturers are very friendly.

Very good. So i will have a pleasant time learning.

I dislike the time... really bad timing.

3hours breaks...

Tsk tsk tsk...

My friends and i went to some computer labs in

des school.

HAHA! I saw people playing Resident Evil 4 on

PS 2.. ON THE BIG SCREEN!.

That is so cool man! I sat there watching them play

while surfing the net and playing games.

Next time should try playing DOTA on the big

screen.

2006-10-01T11:46:00.000+08:00

Had great fun last thursday.
We went out for dinner to celebrate yunhui's birhtday.
Went to eat at S11 in Ang Mo Kio
We ordered a lot of things and wow...

Many people do not bother about such things.
They like to throw away things.

Had great fun last night.

We went out for dinner to celebrate

yunhui's birhtday.

Went to S11 to eat.

We ordered a lot of things and

wow... they are all very nice and filling.

After that we went to Clark Quey.

Had a lot of discussion on... what else?

is either DOTA or Online Footman Manager.

LOL.. and ya... there's other things too.

They are so funny.

Realised that Jason is a fish enthusiastic!

HAHA! found someone who is interested in fish.

He has one small Red Tail Golden Arowana..!!

OMG.. The one in my house is Green Aro...

I wish i have i RTG..

We went to clarke quay straight after dinner.

How true is " Ignorance is a bliss " ?

I think its quite true...

You see, if you don't know anything.

You will take life easier because you don't

know about any threats or consequences.

You do not have to be careful constantly

so as to avoid troubles.

People steal your items but you are still

smiling because you do not know that

they will not return back...

On the other hand

If you know a lot of things.

Good luck.

Whenever you are going to do something,

you will be reminded about the consequences

following your actions.

You know so much things, especially bad ones

about this world, that you start to realise how

bad is the environment you are living right now.

Lets say, you come across an article that said

a lot of illnesses in this world surface because

of the way we live our life or the things we eat etc.

So next time, when you are going to munch on

the big burger in front of you.

Thoughts come into your mind in the form of chain

reaction like...

Fried ----> heaty, chemical reaction resulting in toxic being given out --->bad for your health ---> illnesses come in ---> sore throat is ok, Intestines cancer is the worse case scenerio ---> shorten your life span ----> not enough time to love the people...

Then tears will begin rolling down your cheek

and drop onto the burger.

OK OK. the chain reaction is totally exaggerated.

LOL. but be warned that taking too much

of fried stuff is really bad for your health.

oh ya. so being ignorant has its bad and good side so

is being i-know-many-things.

Aiya. nothing is totally good, its really up to how you

think.

ok..lol

i just write all these down for fun one.

2006-09-27T20:28:00.000+08:00

My feet is recovering at steady rate.

The wound has dried up and pus has stopped flowing.

I think i should be able to walk around with difficulty.

As for sports, i don't think i am participating fornext week.

All the running is going to apply much pressure onmy wound.

I have 1 Fei Feng fish at home.

Its some sort of herbivore and is middle feeder.

After separating it from the green arowana,

it refuses to eat until now.

My brother suggested that i should get somefish to accompany it.
I decided to visit the fish farm since the last visit was

during the after - O - holidays and the possibility of getting nice fish.

I asked Ryan Wong and Robin becausethey seemed to be interested.

The former had NS that day and the latter went with me last monday.

We saw many big, medium and small orscars.

A lot of Kois. Some Gigas, fish the size of a typicalbolster.

I saw this giant Red Tail Catfish with mouth capable of devouring

my entire head.Dogs...some stray dogs..

The merchandise shop sells a lot of apparatus for fish keeping.

Next, we proceeded to another farm which is just beside.

That farm is big and comprises of many small blocks of buildings.

There is one that sells different kinds of arowana and hard-to-find fish.

Another one has a lot of puppies.

Another one has a space imitating the kampong for

children to catch kampong fish.

Another one has many big ponds for Koi... and has hotel for fish.

In the end, i didnt buy any fish back home because i could

not decide what fish to buy.

Although it was exhausting walking around, i find that all the

effort is worthwhile.

2006-09-25T08:20:00.000+08:00

I came upon this website and find the

thoughts of the writer very interesting and

true.

I dont know what people would like to call it but perhaps it should be called delusion. People nowadays have much less free will and thought than say the people in the 18th or 19th century. Sure we are more educated, sure we have cars and planes to bring us about and mobile phones to communicate but do we actually innovate more in terms of thought and philosophy ? do we think about all the other things in life and find a way to live them out - to live out our own lives ? absolutely not. What we do today, is follow what is conventionally accepted. If the scientist in country X says this stuff is good for you, you eat it. Everyone goes to school and learn the same stuff that everyone else is learning. There is no expectation by the people in position for you to actually innovate, to talk back and to discuss what you've learned. Instead rather it is usually discouraged, the teachers of our teenagers mostly just wish that their students accept whatever ideas that are being taught and reproduce it at the exam. Nobody truly gives a damn about religion, they have no faith. We worship objectivism. And life falls into a mere mechanical process. We grow up, take our exams like everyone else, perhaps go to university and are finally supplied to the body called economy as fresh meat to turn the cogwheels of our modern society. Peace has given us complacency, and people have become nothing more but intelligent farm animals. We've lost our individuality, in its stead , the voice of human society and the one conciousness of the system speaks to us. It beckons us to accept, beckons us to produce, beckons us to consume. And amazingly, its these nitwit bystanders who stand passively alongside the course of developing human history, finding fault and critiqueing anything and everything they find, yet never putting in enough effort to change the status quo - that fuel the stagnant society they so wish to change.

erm.....

Have you ever ask yourself

do you do for the sake of doing

or do for the sake of something bigger. ( mayby something you really like?)

HAHA... i don't why nowadays i have no mood to blog.

I think its because the stuff i really want to

write down here is definitely going to be misunderstood

by some group of people.

I read the newspaper everyday and realised that

some adults behave like kids....

Some articles show more than what we know about

the world.

Where what your parents or teachers told you

does not make sense at all.

2006-09-21T14:39:00.000+08:00

They gave me CDS and

i have chosen creative writing.

My friends told me that language

is easier to pass

but the only language they give me

is JAP.

I don't really want to be so influenced by

JAP, because... of i'm always

reminded by how the Japanese tortured

the people here in the past.

Ok.... So my prediction turns out otherwise.

The wound on my feet has become infectious.

Now that is going to be a problem

because i will have to give up on

all the outings my friends have planned.

The wound is under my feet so

i have to walk with my angle tilted so

that the wound will not hit the ground.

The wound keeps oozing out sticky liquid

and i have to clean it many times a day.

I am at home all the time ever since last friday.

I missed out the gym session, soccer session,

cps birthday, sentosa.

Lucky for me because there is no school for me

until next week.

Unlucky for me because i can't go around to places

that i like and going out to meet friends.

I am damn bored and lonely.

Wait....i am not bored

I am playing Diablo 2 LOD and

that game is fantastic!!!

2006-09-20T09:22:00.000+08:00

I realised that life is like playing cards.

You are given only a few cards to play.

You can't decide which card to take nor

which card to drop.

What you can do is to use the cards to

the fullest.

Just like our life.

some of us are born fat, some short,

some have no arms, some live in a poor family,

some in poverty, some has low IQ etc.

Although science has allowed us to change

what we have, it cannot change everything in

your life.

If you are born like that and if help is hard to

come by, what are you going to do?

The key is to live your life to the fullest.

Never try to live someone's life.

We should not compare with other people.

So if you are fat, then try to live your life

to the fullest by maybe working hard on

career or friendship rather than looks?

And if you are poor, then try to save up

money and buy the necessary things?

You don't have to compare yourself

with the rich people in this world...

That thought will not help you grow.

Instead, accept what you have and move on.

Remember to live your life to the fullest.

Even those rich people will do charity

to make them feel better.

Some people do volunterring work.

So don't be depressed because you look

ugly or fat or short.

Accept it as something you can't really

change and move on in life.

Make your life as happy as you can.

The ordeal of my feet.

My feet is in a bad shape.

The nurse applied liquid nitrogen onto some parts of my feet and it is very very pain.
Believe it or not.
I have experienced frost bite.
I was told that the Liquid Nitrogen is
- 192 degree celcius.
I think that white angel
sprayed onto an area of my
feet for too long....
Frost bite causes big blisters.

That nurse...must have thought that
i didnt scream means that
she can spray without mercy...
LOL. she REALLY has faith in me.

Those areas have already being swollen from the previous consultation.
And now she spray that particular area
for more than 8secs!!
The pain is excruciating man!

What's worse is that, the pain is there for the rest of the day.

I didnt know why....

It seems that the red area is constantly in pain.

I have to limped all the way from the

National Skin Centre until home.

The pain is there. Similar to a thick needle poking my feet every seconds.

Its super far man..

wth... Enduring that stupid painful feet onto the bus.

People gave me those face as though i am an alien.

I'm going to shout if anyone steps

on my already painful feet.

Pain while im playing games.

Pain while im eating.

Pain every seconds

Driving me crazy.

Pain throughout the night.

I could not sleep well.

Realised that the red area has turned into a big blister.

The feeling is then similar to your blister

being knocked every seconds.

Could not sleep well that night.

The pain must be stop....

I dont mind tolerateing extreme pain for a while.

But pain for hours and hours is crazy.

So i sat down, lit the candle.

Burn the needle.

Let it cool.

Poke that bloody blister.

Not that painful.

Then used the scissors... sterilized by anti septic

to cut open the blister and drop anti septic solution into it.

Very painful...but at least

i don have to tolerate the pain for hours.

And i wish that blood will flow out and clog.

too bad its pus that flows out.

And it keeps flowing out!!

If i didnt poke that hole for the pus to flow out.

my blister only gets bigger

Cant find that damn bandage so have to use the plaster.

Lets pray for me that the wound will not get infectious.

I couldnt play soccer nor ride bicycle the next day.

Can't even walk properly...go out.. sure suffer...

I dono why i'm so suay to get this kind of thing.

That time i got Dengue Fever and i was so lonely there.

Maybe those are tests for my tolerance?

Yes.. i am hardy.

Bring it on.

2006-09-16T22:04:00.000+08:00

Today is my gaming spree.....

I played Diablo LOD from 11am - 3pm

slept until 5pm and played dota until 7.

Ya i know... i have wasted a day of my life

doing something which has nothing to do

with my future. I can't turn back time

nor can i do something to compensate it.

hahaha. im laughing at myself now.

I just watched a nice chinese show name,

"deng dai you qing tian"

Its very inspiring...

I know its going to be boring when i start

writing the summary of the show but then,

its for me to write and remember it.

Its about a girl who lives by herself.

She has never seen her father and her

mother has been going in and out of jail.

She has decided to live on her own because

he uncle and auntie refuses to take her in

lest that she may have inherit her mum's

genes of lousy attitude.

She is sitting for O level but then she has to

work part-time in a stationary shop too.

Due to the financial constrain, she has to

save every single money to pay for her

polytechnic school fees.

She goes for a few days without food and

as a result of that, her stomach starts having

problems.

She lives in an empty house, doing her chores

and studying herself.

She cannot afford to go out with her friends.

That story just makes me feel more guilty.

I have a com, a beautiful fish, electricity,

money, friends, education, books, shelter

and many many more.

I'm suddenly reminded of the things around me.

I'm glad, really glad.

I don't need a very big house, cars, money

girlfriend, popularity or a land to be happy.

(if i have then i will be happier but not for long)

I have lowered my expectation in life.

I know people will say that being complacent is

bad... but i am not.

I am just easy to be happy but i will still work hard.

So.... please remember to count your blessings.

Take a small bit of your busy schedule and look around

tell youself.

" I have this, i have that. There are more kind hearted

people than evil hearted ones in my life."

I tell you.

Singapore is really a very good country.

Take a look at the people in other countries.

Lets focus on chinese.

No country is perfect in this world.

you think US is good? you check its defend budget..

terrorist here and there...

ok..

to be continued...

Discussed with my friends about something
until all of us started laughing.

One of my friends is always late
so i thought of a scenerio for his future
girl friend.

His ask his GF out for dinner.
He is late, GF don't mind.
2nd time late.
GF a bit angry. but don't mind.
7th, 8th, time late
GF starting to feel pissed off.
10th time late.
My friend reach there just in time to
see his GF gets into her the other
BF and she even wave at my friend "bye.bye"
OR.
GF call my friend and tell him that its over.

My friends gave me 2 choices.
If i have a 2 BF which will i choose.
1) Hey...later movie meet u at Plaza Singapura ok?
2) Hey...7pm go downstair, i drive my car to fetch u.
ALL of my friends chose the 2nd one...

Another friend of mine gave the 3rd choice.

3) Give her an EZ-link card and ask her go
home herself.
and this is what my friend will tell her...

He "Here... i don't have car. but i have....
this...EZ-LINK CARD!! woohoooo.
here i lend you. Inside got $5 hor...

about $2.50 to reach that bus stop near
your house..
I don't want to see my value less than $2.50
hor...and also ar.. can help me top up anot...

I thought of this super budget date.

He "Hey dear...want to watch movie or not.."
She "yes! watch what?"
He "watch...Wu Jian Dao want?"
She "ok! meet where?"
He "at ur house downstair the video shop there."
She "huh? why there?"
He "because that time i went past that shop

He "Dear...are you hungry? i treat you lunch want?"
She "ok..eat at where?"
He "near my house that temple there."
She "huh? why temple and not food court?"
He "oh...because the temple now giving out free vegetarian
lunch for the old people so we can go there eat secretly."

He "Dear...its getting late liao. i worried about ur safety."
She "oh... so sweet.."
He "haha. of cos.. because you have not return me my VCDs ma."
She "chey...."
He "dear, i send you home ba..."

He "hmm...can say la... i got this Ez-link card to lend u..

and whack him.

just for laugh..
not real..
and im alright.

2006-09-11T09:28:00.000+08:00

I strongly suggest that people

should read this poem.

Some may have read it before,

but there is no harm reading it

again......

Stories - The Oyster

there once was an oyster
whose story i tell,
who found that some sand
had got into his shell.

it was only a grain,
but it gave him great pain.
for oysters have feelings
although they're so plain.

now, did he berate
the harsh workings of fate
that had brought him
to such a deplorable state?

did he curse at the government,
cry for election,
and claim that the sea should
have given him protection?

'no,' he said to himself
as he lay on a shell,
since i cannot remove it,
i shall try to improve it.

now the years have rolled around,
as the years always do,
and he came to his ultimate
destiny stew.

and the small grain of sand
that had bothered him so
was a beautiful pearl
all richly aglow.

now the tale has a moral,
for isn't it grand
what an oyster can do
with a morsel of sand?

what couldn't we do
if we'd only begin
with some of the things
that get under our skin.

2006-09-10T11:28:00.000+08:00

I don't know what to write already.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait

wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait

Keep waiting and waiting.

until something is about to happen

then you are told that you need to

wait somemore.....

I hate that feeling.

Screwed up because of poor time management?

No... it's because the other people are impatient?

Maybe most people in this world are numbed.

You hear me? Numbed..why numbed?

They are so badly affected that when somebody

do a good thing to them, they don't know how

to appreciate.

You know what.

To me, we humans do not need rules or laws to

live in this world.

We only need to follow our consience and our hearts.

Maybe it is because we are always controlled by

those rules and regulations that we become dependent

on them.

Our mind cannot differentiate what is right and what is

wrong except, doing what will be scolded or fined and

doing what will be rewarded.

I may be wrong but this is my point of view.

So how....

You want people to be kind to you and yet,

you do not want to be kind of people.

You want them to help you and yet

you find it troublesome to help them.

Its understandable that one should not be asking

a reward or something in return for the help

one has given, but don't you have the urge to help

back?

I don't know how many people have really

succeeded in a relationship.

I know its super hard.

Career is more practical and easier.

Career won't judge you by your looks,

it judges mostly on talents and attitudes.

So, if you like somebody.

Maybe, you need to think twice or maybe...

force yourself to dislike that person to eliminate

those crazy thoughts that will hinder your progress?

The following article is taken from the net.

Many of us think of relationships as a justification for our existence, as if our lives are pointless without someone we love and who loves us. That dangerous premise leads us to believe that there is a void to fill, a section of our selves to complete.

That's why we have trophy husbands and wives… a feeling of loss and hopelessness when our partner leaves us… a sense of insecurity when our partner seems to be interested in someone else.

Before you even consider going on a date, ask yourself - are you happy with who you are? Can you be yourself with someone you have an interest in? Do you have enough faith in yourself to trust your partner?

Low self esteem is arguably the main reason for the breakdown of relationships. It may not be the trigger, but it probably is the slow-acting venom.

If your self esteem is low, you probably think of your relationship as the pillar that's holding up your life. If it cracks or falls, you'll go along with it. Your thoughts are consistently tinged by suspicion, you're anxious, you're unforgiving, you ignite into flames of wild fury, you try your best to keep your relationship safe - in other words, you try to keep exposure to the outside world to DVDs starring Kate Hudson.

Now, does that sound particularly attractive?

We have to understand that we do not have the right to anyone. No one was born to love us forever. That marriage certificate, that laser pledge at Suntec City, that handmade card - romantic, yes, but not eternally binding contracts. Or sentences. A relationship is not a prison.

A relationship is a walk through a field with no discernible end. You have no idea where this journey will take you, but you hold each others' hands, look hopefully towards the horizon, and stride confidently forward anyway.

Very often, you can ruin a perfectly fine relationship by demanding constant reassurance or displaying suspicion. Do you require your partner to regularly show his or her affection for you? Do you judge every action, question every motive? Do you trust your partner enough to know that the occasional lack of attention doesn't mean he or she no longer loves you?

We have to understand that human beings have certain primal urges. And some of those do not concern our partners. That doesn't mean we're immoral or unfaithful. Men ogle. So do women. When you display your displeasure at your partner's wayward eyes, you are showing insecurity. And insecurity is never attractive… or worth committing to.

I have finished my say.

I knew that about this fact. I found this evidence so that those people who do not believe can read for themselves. Sounds like those movies right....

Living forever may not be a reality. But a pioneering field called cryonics could give some people two lives. Cryonics centers like Alcor Life Extension Foundation, in Arizona, store posthumous bodies in vats filled with liquid nitrogen at bone-chilling temperatures of minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit (78 Kelvin). The idea is that a person who dies from a presently incurable disease could be thawed and revived in the future when a cure has been found. The body of the late baseball legend Ted Williams is stored in one of Alcor’s freezers. Like the other human popsicles, Williams is positioned head down. That way, if there were ever a leak in the tank, the brain would stay submerged in the cold liquid. Not one of the cryopreserved bodies has been revived, because that technology doesn’t exist. For one, if the body isn’t thawed at exactly the right temperature, the person’s cells could turn to ice and blast into pieces.

It’s estimated that about 80 percent of amputees experience sensations, including warmth, itching, pressure and pain, coming from the missing limb. People who experience this phenomenon, known as "phantom limb," feel sensations as if the missing limb were part of their bodies. One explanation says that the nerves area where the limb severed create new connections to the spinal cord and continue to send signals to the brain as if the missing limb was still there. Another possibility is that the brain is "hard-wired" to operate as if the body were fully intact—meaning the brain holds a blueprint of the body with all parts attached.

Cool stuffs from science.

Science is just so amazing.

I went to gym with my friends yesterday.
Finished working out by 3pm and then
we went to have lunch at Ya Kun.
HAHA.. Lunch at Ya Kun..
Its not filling at all, but since i would be
having another round of meal at derrick's
house, i joined my friends.
After the lunch, WeiFeng and Desmond went home
first.
The rest of us went to Plaza LAN.
I realised that that place was filled with people
so i decided to go home first.
I met Zheng Liang at the bus stop and we chatted
for a while.
WeiZhong and Robin decided to get something
for Derrick's birthday and i decided to chip in.

I rest at home before meeting WF and Des to
go to Derrick's Birthday Party.
Its very nice to see a lot of friends there.
Ya...as usual.
I am easy to be happy, just let me see my friends
and i will smile and be contented.
I crapped a lot with them.
Talked and laughed with them, it is so fun to have
them around in my life.
Derrick's house is filled with friends and his relatives.
A lot of noise and that's how a party should look like.
LOL.
Realised that some of us are still acting like kids,
pushing and playing around,
but that is controllable.
I mean, we can be serious when we want to.

Some candid shots because they were going off soon.
TO?
PLAZA LAN.
LOL. Its funny.
When they have nothing to do, the first thing that
comes into their minds is.... PLAZA LAN + Pool.
Haha. so fun.
We all think a like.... So...
around 20 of us made our way to Hougang Plaza
some of them went home.
4 of them went to play billard if i'm not wrong.
17 of us went to play CS.
LOL.
We really brought life to that LAN shop yesterday.
I just like the feeling of walking in a big group
of friends.

I can see the LAN shop keeper smiling throughout
the night.
We played until 1pm.
I accompanied Eugene to walk home.
Whoa... and i think that it's faster to walk home
then to take bus.
It took use only 15mins for me to reach home
from Hougang Plaza...
So fast..

K...gtg.
Bye.

2006-09-05T23:07:00.000+08:00

Its super sad.
Why do good people always die early.
Maybe because god wants them.
Steve Irwin.
i watched the tributes for him
in youtube.
Deeply sadden.
His shows have been educating
me ever since i was young.
Opened my eyes to the
beautiful nature in the world
which i think i will never see
in singapore.

I watched how he catched the
crocs and how he saved those
animals.
I think i am influenced a lot by him
because i am so into conservation.
I will always cut down on the use of
plastic bags and will never litter the
parks.
I will not eat shark fins anymore.

Steve Irwin is great.
He was a decicated man and contributed
a lot to the wild life.
Without him, i doubt many people will
know about conservation.
I feel like watching his shows again.
His shows are always so exciting .
Unlike other documentries i have watched,
his shows have a lot of action.
He is always so enthusiastic in his show.

Its true that i like everything about nature.
I like animals a lot although people cannot
find it.
I always watch documentris and read
books on animals.
Therefore, i am really sad that Steve Irwin died.

Steve Irwin, we will always remember you.
R.I.P.

DO not blame the stingray.
i once watched an episode about
him training fellow zoo keeper.
A snake bited a zoo keeper and he asked
him if he hated that snake.
Stever continued that
if he hates that snake for biting him
then he should leave his job.
I am sure that Steve won't blame the
stingray.
He will never hate an animal no matter
how it treats him.
His life is purely on saving and protecting
wild life.
Haiz......

2006-09-04T19:38:00.000+08:00

World-famous Australian "crocodile hunter" and television

environmentalist Steve Irwin has been killed by a stingray

blow to the heart while filming a new documentary.

Oh My God... The world is so unfair...

I mean... he saved and protected so many animals in this

world and yet, he is killed by one of them.

This world needs more of people like him.

People should watch documentries instead of shows

like singapore idol or whatever dramas.

Haiz.... Steve really helped a lot in conservation

and protection of the animals.

I think many animals especially the crocs

are going to be so sad.

They lost a life saviour as well as someone who

brought conservation to the world.

I really hope that more children will watch

documentries and know more about this

world and not so much on games and

cartoons.

I think that many people do not know how

pathetic this world is because most of us

are living in a comfortable place.

We should go out and experience what

is the real world so that we will come to

our senses and do something productive.

We will stop wasting time in playing

games because we will realise that we are really

really very fortunate and that life is very fragile.

Imagine your life is getting shorter and you realise

that you have just wasted a lot of precious time

doing practically nothing worth remembering.

I have read about people taking drugs and

i am sure that when they grow old, they are

going to regret what they have done and wish

to start afresh but they cant, because each of

us has only one life.

Our life is a story.

Stories should be interesting and meaningful.

The pen is in your hand.

Dictionary is there to guide you

but it cannot hold your hand

and write your story.

The story is written by you.

How you start your story and how you are

ending it is up to you.

I remembered this part of an article.

Finishing the race well is not only about

working hard in school and trying to do well

but also about living our lives right.

It may not get you to the top but it has its own rewards.

It is like the Tanzanian marathoner John Stephen Akhwari

who took part in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.

There is no reason to remember him as he came in last

in the 42km race.

When he entered the nearly dark Olympic stadium to complete

the last stretch, he was bloodied and his dislocated knee was

bandaged from a fall earlier in the run.

He hobbled through the final lap in the stadium, crossed the finish

line and collapsed.

When he was asked why he did not quit the race, he replied: " My country

did not send me to Mexico City to start the race. They sent me to

finish the race."

He is respected even though he was last.

2006-09-03T11:26:00.000+08:00

Nothing much to write.
Spent the whole day at home
using computer because both
of my feets have a lot of blister
and i find it extremely hard to walk.

Look up on what's the difference
between IQ and EQ.
I'm surprised to know that
people with high EQ succeed
better in life than a person
with high IQ.
I shall elaborate more on this
in my next post.

I had a conference with my cousins
for 1hrs 35mins last night and
realised that cps miss called me.
I called back only to realise that
my friends need my help.
I got ready immediately to help
but they called again that its alright
already.
But i'm concerned over a friend so
i stayed awake until that friend reached
home safely.
haha.
i'm pleased with myself because i think
i made the right decision.

So... feel free to ask me for help because
i will feel happy when i helped somebody.
I feel good when i am useful to my family
and friends.
hahaha.
Unless i really cannot make it or don't
have time.
The problem is not with the trouble
but with the fear that i can't do a
good job.

2006-09-02T11:44:00.000+08:00

I was feeling really happy when i woke up
on Friday because i knew that there were
a lot of activities happening later on.
Went back to Temasek Poly to take back
my assignments and went home straight
away.
I went to National Skin Center to treat
my feet again.
This time, the treatment was a lot more
painful than the past few ones, even
resulting in blisters.
But.. i didnt feel that painful because
the nurse attending to me was super
friendly, humorous and good looking too.
She kept chatting and laughing.
Here's part of the conversation with her.

Nurse " pain? you can shout and scream if
you want..theres curtain there"
Me "No...Never."
Nurse "hahaha"
Me "hey.. what you think of being a nurse?"
Nurse "Very bad.. haha.. i didnt know that
being a nurse is that tough.."
Me " Tough...but its noble. Nurse is important."
Nurse " Not really la... haha. imagine treating
so many people's feets..."
Me "haha. then why did you become nurse?"
Nurse "haha. i was dumb! I didnt know its that hard!
she continued
"some of my friends dropped nursing...one became a
chef and i think he did well there!"
Me " i see... some of my friends took nursing too."
Nurse "really... haha wish them all the best!"
Me "ya..i will."
Nurse "wow.. you can really tolerate pain..."
Me "haha. why do you think so?"
Nurse "because you didnt screem and kick around
like many people did, haha"
Me " haha. thanks..they really kick? so dangerous."
Nurse "ya... haha. almost got kicked at, last time."
Me " haha. oh my... hahaha"
Nurse "why are you laughing ? haha. you are weird,
pain still can laugh"
Me "because you make me laugh what... hahaha"
Ok... don't want to write out the long conversation.

After that i went home to get ready for the reunion
dinner.
I was really excited because i had not seen my sec 5
friends for quite a long time.
Went to interchange to meet Peisi and Michelle.
Met noel, grace, yi ting, tania, xiu bin.
Reached there after a short walk.
We are the second group to reach there.
I saw a few teachers there smiling and i
was happy because the teachers were
happy!
I was feeling very hungry that night
and i ate a lot... not to the expense of
eating other people's share.
haha! I ate the left overs from
other tables.
The food there was very nice.
But the best thing is that i get to talk
with many people there, thats the
important thing.

I kept changing tables so that i could
get to talk with more people.
Realised that everybody has their own
problems.
the cake was really nice..a model of a
book!
thats so creative and thoughtful!
Laughed and chatted with the teachers.
Nothing good last forever.
The teachers were leaving after the dinner.
Have to part with one another again. : (

After the dinner, the gang of about 33+ people
decided to head to the Beancurd stall to eat..
Everybody on the street was looking at us
because our gang was really big.
After eating, some of us went to Kovan Mac to
talk.
Someone suggested going to a pub situated
along serangoon road.
When we reached there, we were told that
the pub was closing.
we were very disappointed and vin suggested
that we book a room in hotel 81.
Book a room in hotel 81 frightened me
a lot...i didnt know why...
Maybe because that hotel is usually associated
with....those kind.

We could not book a room because the room is
either for 2 or 3.
3? lol. tsk tsk tsk......
While the girls were deciding where to go..
the boys gathered together to say silly things
and even acted out some of the fighting scene
in secondary school.
Really funny and i enjoyed talking with them.
After the discussion, we headed back to kovan Mac
because we could not think of anywhere to go.
Back to kovan Mac, sat down and chatted a lot...!
Some of us were so bored to the extend that we
invented really really lame and silly games to play
... Me, Pengseng, Junlin, dewei and janice..
lol. so funny.

Then something bad happend to janice's handphone..
and we acted a lot of exaggerating drama like
saving the handphone...
thats super funny..
i like to play along with them...or should i say... i am
good at it?
haha

i really had a lot of fun that night...
thanks especially to Vincent, Peisi, Michelle
for organising this event..
Thanks everybody for coming!
Maybe our friendship never dies!
More gathering please.....

2006-08-31T22:40:00.000+08:00

Smile in singapore?
you must be kidding.
I wake up every morning
feeling happy because of
a brand new day for me to
use.
I have a quick breakfast and
i am off to school.
I can still managed to remain
cheerful until i reach the bus stop.
I can't smile anymore.
When i look at the crowded bus,
i will always see something that
will pissed me off.
There are people who refuse to move
in and thus blocking the people
from moving in, resulting in
a crowded bus and therefore
other people can not get in.
haha.
thats ok..rather minor.

I hardly see people smiling in my
house.
My parents are working so hard
and the their faces always look
"sian... i want to rest."
"whoa....why is the tax keeps rising.."
or
"you know how hard we are working....
blablabla"

I must thank those people who has made
an effort to organize events.

Ok...
Don't want to say those demoralising things.

Hey hey...stay cheerful alright!
friends!
no matter how bad the problem is!

2006-08-30T08:33:00.000+08:00

hmm....
We all know that nobody is
perfect.
I think i am short-tempered.
I realised that i get angry
easily, therefore doing and
saying things that have offended
some people.
I am willing to admit this
so i think, there is still hope
for me to change.
I need help and understanding from
people.
It is going to be hard, however,
it is not impossible.
So....haha, i will go read up somemore
and will put the knowledge into practice.
Until then, sorry! if i haveoffended you
one way or another.

World issue...
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi
paid his respects at Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine
for war dead on Tuesday, the anniversary
of his country's World War Two surrender,
defying warnings from China and South Korea
not to go.
The situation is akin to someone paying respect
to a murderer who has killed a lot of people.
Tsk Tsk Tsk....
They killed many of our greatgrand parents
and even grandparents.
Yet, this PM continued to pay respect to the
murderers as if it is pitiful for them to die.
Thats my perspective on this issue.

Please comment on this.

2006-08-27T12:07:00.000+08:00

Yesterday...saturday...
Nothing much because
I have been saying the same thing
for every saturday.
haha!
My team played a tough
game with one team.
Sweats rolled down into
my eyes and it was damn painful.
I carried on playing while bearing
the pain and my friends thought that
i was very angry because my face
looked like one that time.
Actually it's because of the pain in
my eyes.
I played rough with them too,
because they were pushing us.
I'm so engrossed in playing with them
that i had forgotten to stay calm.
It was a terrible mistake because
if i am too agitated, i may not
be able to pass well and aim accurately.
Thanks for Glendon and Desmond
to point my mistake out. : )

We brought 2 soccer balls to play
and unfortunately both soccer balls
had been damaged and out of
shape could not be used again.

After that i accompanied them to
Plaza LAN.
I slept there as usual because, the
place there is dark, cooling, comfortable and
i was very tired after soccer.
I watched ruijie play his game and i fell
asleep.
His hero level was 5 and by the time
i woke up, his level was 7.
Tsk tsk.. didnt know why i could not
sleep for long that day.
Maybe because of the short period
of soccer due to the faulty balls, i
was not that tired.
I used to sleep for like from my friend's
level 5 to 16.
haha!

Went home after that.
Went out with my relatives for dinner.
My cousin and i sat with 2 strangers
because that was not enough seats.
The strangers were very friendly
and chatted with me.
They asked me how old am i
and they guessed a range of
14 - 16.
When i told them i am 18 this year
they were VERY SURPRISED!
They said "Wah! how can that be?
sure or not?"
I said yes and i asked back why.
One of them told me that
his son is 19 this year and he
looked very different from me.
haha..haha.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing to
look young...
I remembered once when i went into
the arcade during school hours,
the auntie told me that those
below 16 could not enter so i had to
show her my IC to confirm im ABOVE
THAT AGE.
Another time was when i walked into
the singapore 4D ticket that place with
my mum and the security guard asked
me to go out because of the age
restriction.
I had to tell him that I WAS 18 YEARS
OLD that time and he didnt look convinced.

my cousin and i ate a lot that night.
Each of us had 1 bowl of fish porridge
and we shared 1 plate of carrot cake,
1 plate of BBQ chicken wings and
1 plate of hokkien mee.
Super tasty and super full !!
Ok...
Thats all!..
haha
GOOD LUCK
HAVE FUN!

2006-08-24T11:51:00.000+08:00

I saw something really stupid yesterday.

I saw about 5 yuying secondary(1 or 2)boys

playing with a flag pole with a lion head

symbol ata bus stop.

1 boy placed the flag pole on the concrete

seat and stepped repeatedly on the flag

until the flag pole broke into 2.

The flag fell onto the ground.

Luckily it is not a country flag. (red and white)

I sat down around there to wait for bus

and to listen to their childish and stupid

conversation.

B = Boy,

That girl was there listening by the way.

Seems that one boy in that group likes

that girl.

I think they were friends.

The group started daring the boy to

say " I love You" to that girl.

That boy walked to her and pulled

her hair and the group started laughing.

After that they asked that boy to

touch the girl's breast as an act of bravery.

He didnt touch but he kept on getting near to her.

They started mocking at him but

he seemed to be enjoying it and smiling too.

He started making his move and that girl

seemed to be shy started to move away smiling!

That boy kept chasing her and she kept

walking away.

One big size boy suddenly stood infront of her

very close as though he was about to hug

her but he was just trying to block her way.

The bus was here and i boarded the bus

only to find stupid people in the bus.

I saw about 7 people standing behind the bus.

The problem is that there were people sitting

outside of the 2 seats.

You know there are a lot of double seats in the

bus right?

I don't understand why so many people,

around 8 of them in that bus, like to sit

away from the window.

As a result of their action, many people

are deterred from sitting down because

they have to make the effort to

squeeze past those idiots.

If a lot of people are standing, then

the bus will be so full that other people

cannot go in and therefore late for work

or school.

Why are people so selfish now?

They care only about their own convenience.

A lot of thoughts kept coming into my head.

One of them is this..

I appreciate my life more whenever i see these

A good looking girl smoking.
A really clever boy throwing rubbish on
the floor.
A celebrity who breaks the traffic rules.
A tall and handsome boy littering.
A very rich man caught for criminal act.
and many more.

WHY?
Its because i know that nobody is perfect.
Even if people may not be that good looking,
rich or intelligent, they do not have to feel
inferior because if they are willing to
be a good citizen doing volunteering work,
keeping the place clean, having dignity and
integrity, they may be more worthy then
many many "better" people.
What for having such good looks, such high
education and such good talent if you can't
even differentiate between what is right and
what is wrong?
Littering is good?
Scolding vulgarities at friends and family is good?
Afraid of losing is good?
Being late is good?
wasting water and food is good?

Its ok to joke and laugh about it but
we must make sure that we really
know whats right and wrong in our hearts.
Everybody has conscience right?
Don't you feel uneasy when
you are littering or being late?

So i think we should all work together
for a better day ya...
The world outside is already ugly.
Please read more newspaper and know
more about the world issue.
You are terribly wrong if you think
that this is a peaceful and resourceful world.

Phew... finally finished saying some part
of the many thoughts. Felt a lot better now.

2006-08-21T20:57:00.000+08:00

OMG. I had a really weird dream last night.
I dreamt about...

I went to a far away place.
The place i was staying was
a very old and chinese style mansion.
It's really very very big.
There was an old man inside
and he told me to stay inside the guest room
and warned me not to venture to other rooms.
I was curious about the old chinese style rooms
so i ignored the warning explored the place.
The rooms were really dusty and deserted.

As i was walking, i heard some weird noises( i forgot the details)
I walked deeper into the corridors and suddenly
the things around started to move by itself.
I was really frightened and i tried to run back but failed
because i was lost.
Luckily the old man came and led me out.
It was at night.
The streets outside the mansion was beautifully
decorated with colourful lights.
There were a lot of people walking around.
Seemed to be a festival.

Something weird.
I saw 3 people wearing Cai Sen Ye costume
walking and laughing.
I also saw a lot of cages with birds in it
and chickens running around in an
enclosed area. I decided to take some pictures.
As time went by, the crowd started to disperse.
I followed a group of people to somewhere (forgotten)
I went back to take more pictures but the place was
gone.

Saw this poster at Marina Square. That face is
Henry if i'm not wrong. What a nice piece of
Photoshoped image, it looks so perfect.

Tsk tsk tsk... poor birds. Can't even stretch out
its wings.

These hornbills are really big. Its so pathetic
to keep such giant birds in cages. They are hard to
get and i wonder if they are taken illegally.

Look at the spots.

Gar fish. Quite cool

Haha. They are so small. They are cheap and they
won't fly away when they grow up because
they treat you like their parents.

I went to Serangoon North to get some fish
stuffs and noticed this box of baby lovebirds.

Look at these baby lovebirds. They are so adorable
and beautiful.

The boat

The jetty. Its such a wonderful experience to go out to sea.

2006-08-19T12:28:00.000+08:00

Just managed to finish my work(wallpaper) on time.
Wanted to do a more complicated one
but i was worried that i may not
have time to do, so i decided
to keep it simple..
Both my lecturer and peisi
commented that the wallpaper
is frightening...
And for some reaon, i could not
upload the picture...
I went home immediately after school
and then i went to National
Skin Centre.
Quite painful when they spray
-192 degree celsius of liquid
nitrogen on my toes to kill
the virus.
I decided to go to Junction 8
but i took the right bus but wrong
direction.
I even slept in the bus.
Reached Suntec City instead.
Walked around the Suntec City Mall
Took bus 111 in hope to get to somewhere
familiar.
Reached esplanade.
i got down and took bus 56.
A VERY VERY long journey before reaching
Bishan... I took 53 there and reached home at
8pm..
Had my dinner and went to meet my sec 5
friends..
Talked and played for hours.
So fun...so fun...so....fun....

2006-08-18T01:26:00.000+08:00

I don't usually stay up until so late.
The reason why i burned the mid night
oil tonight is for a reason.
Serve me right for having fun
for the past few days.
Tomorrow is the dead line for my projects
and i have spent 10 hours working on
exercise 9 alone.
Ok.. to be honest. I wasted a few
hours on unnecessary stuffs.

The good things about doing projects are

You can listen to music while doing and
sing along. LOL
You can work with noise around you.
You learn how to manage your time well.
You can experience with different gadgets and
materials.
You can do in groups and ask for help.
The more you do the better you get.
you can eat, watch TV, listen to radio, talking to
people and do your work at the same time.
The finished work gives you a sense of
satisfaction.
You can always find reference easily.
Fun to do...( At the start ONLY)

....ok..

to be continue...

really tired..

think i will be sleeping on the sofa later.

2006-08-15T22:14:00.000+08:00

I just love Full Metal Alchemist.
This anime taught me a lot of things.
Its educational.

Firstly, it taught me about
Chemistry...
How things are made up of
different elements.

Secondly, it made me
interested in reading books.
To the characters in
that anime, they become
stronger by reading a lot of books.
When a person becomes a State Alchemist,
he has entry to the national library
which has 100 times more books.

Thirdly, the equivalent trade...
The law which states that
In order to gain something,
we must first sacrifice something.
I thought about the technology around us.
Techology allows us to live
comfortably and improve our
survival rate.
However, there are things for
us to sacrifice too.
We become lazy and refuse to
do tough works.
We become busier, so busy that
some of us are willing
to compromise the time
spent with loved ones.
Technology also creates problems like
heart attack, high blood pressure and stroke,
because we are stripped off the chance
for us to exercise unless we
make the effort to go for a run
or go to gym.

Equivalent Trade.
When you do something bad to a person,
chances are,
the person will do something bad to you.
You lose something and
you gain wisdom.
When you lose your loved ones,
you become sad and you
that you should cherish the people
around you.

I cannot guarantee that this rule
apply to everything in this
universe.

haha.
alright.
so a friendly reminder.
Think before you say or act,
because you may or may not
make a person feel down.

Stories - The Touchstone

When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for a few coppers.

The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum on which was written the secret of the "Touchstone"!

The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold.

So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles.

He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold - throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea.

The days stretched into weeks and the weeks into months. One day, however, about midafternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each
pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away

Late Late Late.
The new trend is here.
Most people are late for
every occasions and meetings
that i can think of.
Being late because other people is late
is an excuse?
So if people make mistakes
i purposely make one too?
I have a temptation to be late
for every meetings.
I tried to be punctual.
Whenever i am punctual, i need to wait
for late comers.
The time wasted ranges from at 5mins to 3hrs.
If i tell them the time that i will reach the place
i will accomplish it most of the time.
If i don't, which is in the minority,
it is due to miscalculation of time.
Do you know why people do not want to be
punctual?
To me, it is sucking.
What for going there on time
and wait for people to come late
and then start doing the things
that we intended to do.
If i come late, i don want to wait for people
the event can just start immediately when i
reach there.
SO GOOD RIGHT?
No need wait.
If i really cannot make it on time.
i will say
"Sorry guys, i will join you when i reach there
please continue without me."
And don't ask me to be late
because you think other people will be late.
I am responsible for my conduct.
Maybe all of you might think that i am bo liao.
I just want to carry myself responsibly so that
other people can trust me next time.

I blog this because i have nothing better to do.
Do not get offended because i'm not referring
to anyone.
I was just trying to say out everything
to make myself feel better.
and PLEASE.
DO NOT LITTER ON THE FLOOR
and
TRY TO REDUCE THE USAGE OF PLASTIC BAG.
Thank you derrick for bringing your bag
to carry water bottles every saturday.

ON FRIDAY.
I accidentally met
Tania and prilala on bus 72.
Met Zheng Ting and Kelvin Ong
when i alighted a the busstop.
I took bus 53 and i met Donovan there.
I swear everything i said is true.
it is just too coincidental to keep running into
my friends.

Whooo.... I am SO HAPPY for this week!
All thanks to all of my friends!
Went out to sea to watch fireworks again last tuesday.
Unfortunately, only afew of us went.
I met up with Janice, De Wei, PengSeng, Peisi
for a vegetarian lunch after school.
The vegetarian food is very nice... and healthy.
I didnt follow them to town and went home instead.
Met up with robin and accompanied him
to a dental clinic at Yishun.
I met my brother's friend Kiat meng on a bus.
When we reached Yishun, i was surprised to
meet a poly friend of mine, Nadia, there.
HAHA! I can still meet my friend at such a place.
After that, we took MRT to Marina there.
Another friend of mine was waiting there
for us to get onto the boat.
We went out to the sea to watch the Fireworks
and it was a very fun experience.
The boat was speeding making the trip even more exciting.
It was very nice to have a conversation with
robin because i find that he is a
wise man? because he knows a lot of things
which most of us don't bother to know.
We shared opinions on many issues like
scout, human behaviors and education. etc.
I met a secondary friend of mine when i was
taking bus 113 home.

This is weird. I realised that i kept running into
people who i know.
ONe spooky encounter.
I met a family that does not seem to be local at
Compass point.
I was paying much attention on the girl
because i was curious what lies in the blood
to make her so beautiful.
I am sure that she is mix-blooded.
Then, the next day when i went to
Macritchite, i met them again!!
Oh My God... How can that be..
Is Singapore really that small??
That girl looked at me with big eyes
as though she was surprised too.

Wednesday
Went for soccer in the morning.
Went to Ms Teo house in the afternoon.
It was very fun and very nice to see
a lot of my friends who i have not seen
for many months.
I saw them ganging up to drag different boy
for a false "Gang rape".
Seems like the skinny ones are the victims.
Super fun!

2006-08-07T10:58:00.000+08:00

Last saturday was a very fun day for me.

Soccer with my friends.

Noticed that we bought a lot of bottles of water.

The boss of that shop must be

really happy to open his shop there.

haha.

While we were playing soccer in the soccer court,

i made Glendan angry.

We scolded each other.

Sorry!

I didnt know that i was being so rough(while playing).

But...Its really very hard to score.

So next time you guys should tell me my performance so i can improve.

For example, Eugene told me that

my passing to him is really bad.

Too far and he could not reach it.

We went to 805 for lunch.

We went to Hougang plaza.

Some groups of them played dota while some played billard.

I was there watching dota and sleeping too.
I went home early to prepare myself

for an invitation to watch fireworks out at sea.

I was there on time but due to some

misunderstanding and calculation,

we were considered late.

But we still managed to get onto the boat.

The jetty.. very nice. i like going out to sea.

My friends. The boat is shaking, so
its very hard to take a good picture.

There are a lot of boats there. They are not big
but they are still very comfortable

A bad picture. It can't be helped because
it is really dark out there and my handphone
camera is not that good.

The lights coming from the city is beautiful.
That was my first time looking at singapore
from sea at night.

We talked and crapped a lot. It was a very
good experience. The breeze was never ending and strong too

The fire works had started and i took some pictures from it.
Unfortunately most of our gadgets are not that good,
thus, could not capture that moment beautifully.

I decided to use my video recorder in my handphone,
but it is worse, so i suggest people to
watch the fireworks first eye or get from Youtube.

2006-08-05T00:56:00.000+08:00

Ready to go for the walk. They said the water is smelly.

This is the path which the runners will take for X-Country race.

Wooden plateform for us to walk comfortably.

The scenary there is really beautiful although my camera skill sucks..

A bridge...i like bridge. The soil on the left is very soft and we almost slipped.
Except for peisi...

We talked a lot and this is a nice place
to scream your heart out when you are really frustrated

There are fishes inside this picture, but i think
they camoflage very well.
Nothing interesting..

Nice scenary...again...
Really enjoyed the time spent talking and walking around there.
A bench for us to sit. There is a lack of monkeys,
maybe peisi frightened them?
Saw many sun skunks a long the way.

Very peaceful right? Must come here often.

There is a wide variety of terrains there.
Not just trees only. There is grassland.
And swarm? haha. The water is quite dirty..

Played with a teraphine there and
created a MTV out of it. It is really cute.

That time when i came here alone, my slippers
accidentally fell into the water...

A tree leaning at less than 45 degree.
It needs wooden pillars to support.

water water water

haha. Trying hard to walk on soft ground ya?

Time to head into the forest.
Didnt see much animals. : (

Reached the golf course. Dewei and Olivia
both took a golf ball each home.

We worried that the golf balls will hit our
heads and wee started to get thirsty too.

Nice scenary. There's one part that looks like
a scene found in many martial arts movie.

Some people actually spent their valentine's day there,
from what was written on the door.
Looks like a way to heaven
Some more wooden platform. Makes walking
comfortable.

More grass lands. Really nice.

Saw this giant Teraphine the size of an
A4 paper.. Really big.

We were all very exhausted and our
water supply was running low.
We managed to reach the top of the tower.
I realised that i am little afraid of height.!
A Tiring part...has to walk a lot.. We also saw
a small and beautiful snake. It has a lot of bright colours
which means it is very venomous.
We kept complaining because we
still could not find the exit.

Somemore stairs to climb and we were really exhausted

Finally made it through. We were standing on a
bridge and took a short rest there.

Our saviour!! The water cooler and the toilets!
YEAH!!!

On our way home! Very relieved!

2006-08-03T23:03:00.000+08:00

I have a lot to say for the trip in Macritchite.
I have quite a handful of photographs to be
uploaded into this blog.
Something strange is happening here,
i just cannot upload those pictures.
I mean, its taking a really long time.
I will find one day when i have a lot of
free time and upload everything.

2006-07-31T11:15:00.000+08:00

I had a wonderful weekend...!
I met up with my sec 5 friends on Friday.
We chatted until 11+pm
After that we sent Janice home.
Cps, prilala and i had missed the last bus.
But that's even better because we had even more
time to chat.
We touched on many secondary school
issues and the conversation started
to get interesting.

Reached the territory of cps and prilala.
I didn't feel like going home because i think
that it is very hard to meet and talk like this
so i asked them to sit at the void deck and chat
HAHA! they agreed
After a long talk, i walked home alone.

Met up with my Soccer friends on Saturday.
It was super fun but too bad only 10 people
including me were there...
Played against the NS men.
They were strong, but we were not weak either.
Won a few matches.
Even if we lost, we still find playing fun.

Went to Hougang Mall to have our lunch.
Met Zhang ge there giving tuition to some
1989 batch

I went home with Desmond and Wei Feng.
Rested for a few hours
and went out to meet my relatives.
Realised that 2 of my cousins are
taking 0 levels and another one taking his
A levels.
So fast right?
Last time we played together
Now all grow up and become more
intelligent and sensible.

Again...
Chatted for a few hours.
Until we didn't feel like going home

Ahh.... i will be really satisfied if i can just meet these wonderful people
in my life on every weekends.
There are some small things in life
that makes us happy.
Just that we focus too much
on the big issue in life.

Thinking of getting rich
Getting your favourite house
the car
working real hard
and forgetting those
small details in life....

2006-07-27T20:36:00.000+08:00

Life has been good at least currently.
Went to Hougang Polyclinic just now to find out what is wrong with my toe.
Something unusual happened to my toes for a few months till now.
Some sort of ulcers started to develop around them.
Fortunately, they are not too annoying and are quite harmless as told by the doctor.
It was my first time going to Polyclinic alone and i was not that clear about the procedure there.
Didnt have to wait long before i get to see the doctor.
He was quite friendly and his accent of speech does not sound local.
Due to the lack of equipment here, he referred me to National Skin Centre.

As for the life in school, everything seems fine.
Lesson starts at 9am and ends at 11.20am everyday.
It is very rare to have such a relaxing block so i think i should spent the free time wisely.
Firstly, friends from my secondary school please tell me if your break coincide with mine.

Secondly, i am going to explore those nature reserve in singapore. I want to enjoy the peace and tranquility there.

Thirdly, i am going to visit the many farms situated around Lim Chu Kang. I heard that it is getting more convenient to go there nowadays.

Forthly, i am going to Botanic Garden. To relax.

Anyone interested in the above please feel free to tag me. If not, i don't mind going there alone.

2006-07-25T20:35:00.000+08:00

alright.
I have finally finished my new blog
I didnt design this one
because i am not up to standard
But i hope that someday i can really design one
and then i shall proceed to web designing.
I like this style
Very dark and quiet
I have found it
I hope that you guys will like it too.
Thanks for reading my blog.
Stay healthy guys

2006-07-20T22:48:00.000+08:00

Whoa...amazing.
I have survived basic photography!!
I almost experienced hell when i was doing my
final assignment for BP.
Seriously, i didnt know poly life is so damn tough.
I'm like totally different from my friends man.
Ever since the start of my final assignment which was on
last week's mon, i had been going to school
at 8.30am to use the photo processing room.
Until yesterday.
Luckily BP class is in the morning so we can use
Consulted him several times. (lecturer)

My second module ends at 4pm everyday.
Everytime must work over time because
we did't have enough time to do.
Didn't have to go home because we extended the
time for the photo room to open after 9pm.
the rest of the time is for other class to use.

I used the room until 11.45pm
If lucky, managed to catch the last bus.
I could reach home at 12am+
If not...
had to get to somewhere near and then
walked home, or share cab.

I could not have a proper lunch.
WHY?
Because our design school canteen is flooded with students.
Many of the students having lunch there are from other schools.
Due to the block teaching,
We don't have much time to rest.
Everytime i go to the canteen to get fast food.
I'm totally pissed off by the number of students there.
SO? The Q for every stall is damn freaking long man.
By the time i get to order, i'm already late for class.
Our school canteen is small because our design school is small
with very few people, the smallest population in the TP.
So if people from other schools come and compete with us,
its just not fair.

Everyday i have to buy sandwich from mensa.
During my 1hr break. 12pm - 1pm.
Frankly speaking, thats not break.
We have to work until 12.40pm because our lecturer is always late.
Sigh...
DO DO DO. DO and finish all the assignments.
Its damn long man.
And people out there who think that design school is the
easiest to slack because theres no exam
Please get the facts straight.
Don't be so ignorant and bullshit around.

Why don't we switch place?

Since i have made my choice to get into my course
i'm willing to go through everything they give to me.
This is not a complaint.
This is to tell people how design students spend their
days in design school.
Our school is totally different from other schools.

Adverture.

2006-07-16T09:46:00.000+08:00

I don't care if this is boring or what.. i just feel like writing my adventure when i went out for shooting..(photos)

I thought of a theme which is "peace" and my lecturer agreed to it. YESH!!!

1st day.
nothing nice to talk about. I just wondered around the parks near my house.

2nd. Day.
Straight after all my lessons, i went to Macrichite reservoir alone. Wanted to ask other people along but then their themes are either different from me or no time to go. However, coincidentally, Wenhao was riding his bicycle around Bukit Timah there, so we decided to meet up.
Reached Macrichite in less than 40mins from my school! COOL! Walked around and saw 3 really big monitor lizards which were not afraid of humans. Walked past Lim Bo Seng grave and down the stairs.
I followed the wooden tracks along the reservoir. I find it quite relaxing there and decided to take some shots. As i was walking, i was surprised by a really big monitor lizard. It swam fast and crawled across my path. Biting a teraphine by the shell!! OMG. In front of me. Took 3 shots for that!
Continued walking and WenHao found his way to me. We walked around taking pictures. The scenary there is very very nice and calm. Thats why i choose there to take pictures for my theme "Peace"
We went to Chinese cemetary trying to take pictures. I just want to take the pictures of the empty roads but there are tomb stones everywhere. We didnt walk deeper because there was a group of ferocious dog and i was too tired to fight with them.
I really enjoyed the part where i walked along the trail alone. Very exciting!!

3rd Day.
My lecturer asked me to go to Pierce Reservoir.
I didnt know how to get there so i made a lot of unnecessary bus change.
Reached there at 6pm+. WTH..
I followed the road...Walked and walked for about 30mins. I thought to myself, what the hell is this road leading to.. Its so far and by the time i finish walking, its already at night.
Luckily!!! I met some people inside a van feeding monkeys. I asked them how far is it from there to reservoir, they told me a shocking 3 - 4 km. OMG! Then they find me pitiful and decided to give me a lift to there. Thanks!! Luckily i asked them.

Reached there. Just as my lecturer said, the place is indeed very very peaceful and quiet. Walked around taking pictures and saw this couple taking marriage photo there. HAHA! So lucky! The camera man geo them to pose and i asked them for permission to take their photos. Haha, not bad. The sky is getting darker and i feared that i might have to walk through the 4km road to the main road at night with forest by the road. Its damn frightening because i was not prepared for any dangerous scenerio.

Too bad, I could not see anyone there and i decided to walk to the main road. Quite scary to be honest. I was all alone and everywhere is dark. Saw many cars driving past me. OH MAN! I wanted to test myself how courageous i am to walk. But when i thought that i still have many unfinish assignments at home, i DECIDED TO TRY USING THE SURVIVOR HAND SIGN.

Try making a tumbs up sign and tilt your fistand point the direction of the road with your tumb.
Finally a car stopped infront of me and gave me a ride!! This hand sign is very useful but don't abuse it!! I used that sign twice now. The first time was in Bukit Timah with Nigel, Kenneth, melvin. Woo!!

Those were the exciting experience i had!! Its so damn fun!! Sigh... too bad for the film processing, i have to stay inside that dark room for hours...

2006-07-06T20:38:00.000+08:00

whoa...
Design school is damn challenging.
My course, my module can make you go high and crazy.
Basic Photography can really makes me go high.
Equipment is always not enough.
Some of those enlargers are spoilt and curse those who
damage the precious things.
I remembered last thursday.
I had to come to school at 9 pm...
9pm!! what the hell.
Luckily, the photo processing room is open when we asked for extension.
Cleared up by 11.45pm, too bad, could not finish.
No bus except 72.
Went home together with my friends.
Came to school at 8.30am..
just managed to finish..
Phew....

The work load can make you crazy.
Lesson starts at 9am.
Brief for 45mins, ( Its very fast, most of us don understand what he is saying.)
Do Do Do..
For your information... Washing out a photography is not easy
Must test for many times.
Find the timing for your film
And burn the actual one out.
The worst thing is to realise that the thing you are using is faulty
And too bad, other equipments are occupied.

The chemical sucks big time.
Makes my hand itchy... the more concentrate one make my hand feel
like needles poking on my skin.
Foul smelling...
Some of us feel like vomiting..

This is the first time in my life that i realised that time management is very very important and failing which will cause drastic consequences.
I have colouring to do.
HAHAHA. Colouring sounds easy ya?
Yes..! Its easy..and very very very troublesome.
Mix paint, cut and paste.
Mixing paint is very hard man..
The colour is always different.

2006-07-01T21:19:00.000+08:00

It has been a very tiring week.
A lot of things to do and i don't have time to write my blog.
Finally weekend is here.

Monday.
I attended my Basic Photography class for the first time.
I was surprised by the class.
The lecturer is very strict, like Mr Jamil.
He does not look friendly
This class is the most quiet class i have ever been to.
When the lecturer is not talking.
The whole place is so quiet that i can't take.
Its like, you don't feel the presence of other people around.
Its like, you are all alone in a room made of sound proof walls.
Very unbearable.

Next is colour class.
Its very troublesome because we have to combine colours together
to form some particular colour.
Luckily the lecturer is very friendly.

Tue
The photo class is damn heavy
too much information for us to take in.
Its like they squeezed several days of lectures into one.

As for colouring, its as usual
Mix this mix that only.

Thur
Sucks. Have to go to Mustafa there to shoot pictures of that area.
Must finish 2 rolls of film within 1.5 hour.
Walked around with my friends shooting pictures.
One of my friends was almost hurted when an old man threw a crow bar at him.
luckily it missed him. My friend was asking him for permission
for photographying that area and that old man became agitated.
He chased after us for a distance!
The place is rather run down.
A lot of those very old buildings around
Some areas look like some scenes of some horror movie.

Fri
Have to wash our film by ourselves in the Film processing room.
The dark room is totally dark.
Thats because a slight light will burn the film
Even if you open your eyes, your vision is still the same as closing your eyes.
Have to unwind the film to be placed into some dark container.
At first, i cant see what i am doing and struggled to unwind my film.
Next, we have to add various chemicals into our container and shake.
Must rest for 30 secs and shake for 10 secs for 7 mins for example.
Have to memorise the whole procedure and every timing.
After that i took my film and put into the film dryer to dry.
The chemicals are highly corrosive and dangerous
My hands felt like needles poking hard on your skin.
Damn painful

To be continued.

2006-06-25T13:08:00.000+08:00

Arh...
I am so free!
Last friday, Saturday, today and tomorrow can be considered as my Holiday!!
WHY?
Well, because i don't have to do any more work!!
My 2 modules for the previous block have ended
and now i am waiting for the next 2 modules(next block) to start!

Last friday, i went for lunch with 3 of my poly friends.
After that, we went to TP's lan shop to play DOTA 2 v 2
haha, its so fun.
Although one of us does not know how to play dota,
we still enjoyed the whole game.

On saturday, i woke up with a sore throat.
Didnt feel well.
Went out for breakfast with Desmond.
After that i went to Compass point to meet Jack.
Went back home and had one panadol and slept
Woke up and went for a soccer match.
Played for awhile until it started raining.
I could not take the headache and i requested for a substituition.
Sorry team... : (
After that, we all went for dinner.
Its so fun to have so many people ( around 14)
walking together.
I wish that i can join such big group of friends every saturday.
Every Sat will be our soccer gathering!!!

My final piece to be handed up.

2006-06-21T19:05:00.000+08:00

hohoho..
Yesh... this block is ending soon.
Yesh... i can finally get real break...!
Have been doing the same thing for Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri.
Reach school at 9 am.
escaped from class for our 10mins break.
Why? because the first lesson ends at 12.
The next lesson starts at 12.
Ends at 3pm
Go to various canteens in different school to have lunch with my friends.
4+pm already.
Reach home at 5pm+.
Shower, relax and use computer ( for fun ) until 6pm+
I will have my dinner at 7pm.
By 7pm+
i will be doing research or drawing my assignment.
Actually this block is not as tough at the other blocks.
Next block...is going to bring me trouble.
Luckily, i can still watch world cup during the weekends...

2006-06-19T20:48:00.000+08:00

hmm....
My blog is getting boring.
Because i am too lazy to write..
Now i thought of something to write.
I am about to complete my 2 assignment for
Creative Thinking..
Unlike the previous one, this one is a book cover. So... This is my idea.
It looks very much like the previous one right?
Its because i only know how to draw small things..
So i need to use that kind of background...
Hmm.... Just let you guys have a look only.
I think some pictures here might at least make my blog lively..
aha.
ok...
I am a supporter of Brazil.
I want them to break world records for winning world cups.
Although Brazil is not as rich as Australia or England.
The players are very commited to football.
I want a team from a humble country to make it big.
I don't like Australia or USA to win world cup.
Its not fair.
They already dominated the Olympic.
So...i wish to see Brazil or Agentina working their way up... Way to go!!!!

2006-06-11T21:40:00.000+08:00

I shall blog about yesterday thing.
As usual, i went to play soccer with my friends.
Its much more fun to play amongst ourselves.
No more hot-tempered people
No more penalties every 10 minutes
No need see the attitude of some adults.
Witnessed the improvements of some friends.
Thats great!
After that, we went for lunch together.
Its so fun
Going around with a group of friends.
After that, they went to LAN shop to play DOTA.
I went there to sleep. Its free, has air-con and comfortable chair.
I went home with some friends first.
Rest at home.
Went down to Mac to watch England.
After that went to eugene's house to watch agentina that match
I read newspaper and missed the first half.
I fell asleep the whole of second half.
My friends had to wake me up to go home..
Thats all..
Good luck friends
Be it that you are in JC, Poly or ITE. Work hard !! and do your family proud!!!

2006-06-08T19:53:00.000+08:00

Alright...

I designed it myself..
Hope you guys out there will like..
anyway.
my posters show what some of
my friends think
of the people they know.

i just feel that i should share with my friends.
Its not as simple as it looks
i need to draw, scan, print, draw, scan, add background, words...etc
Spent like more than 10 hours to complete this..
plus some research.
one more pic i found in internet.

Its lame..
gtg.
see ya!
