town councils losing money

2008-11-21T12:48:00.002+08:00

Town councils losing money in investments.. Taxi uncles complaining that they use our amenities fee and lose money.. okay.. that means no more sheltered walkways, new bus stops.. no wonder the bus stop near my house has been building for 3 months and it is still not done yet.. Haiz.. USA is really "bringing down the house"

Bad economy

2008-10-09T08:50:00.004+08:00

Everything is going bad.... but is it a good time to invest? I think it is.. Maybe on things like Foreign Currency FD.. I think it is real good....

hello

2008-07-07T22:32:00.003+08:00

Its been days since I last blogged. Everything is going great, just that I need to strike lottery.. haha.. This weekend is housewarming for my relatives for the new house in Malaysia and also for those who could not make it in the week days like last Monday... My Dad bought a 2nd hand Jazz in Malaysia for my mum to use and he claims that it is his first car he bought using his own money... HAHA as all the cars that he had driven were fully paid by his company.. Can't wait to modify this car.. HAHA intending to install turbo, new exhaust, sport seats, gauges, bodykit, sports rims... you will see an old ah lian driving this souped up Jazz...

ICT was fun.. Range was not that good cos my section missed marksmanship by 3 shots after going for 3 rounds of night shoot... DAMN IT! After that was a tech mobilisation for us, I think we did good? Cohension after that was great, we commanders form a team and played some good sports outside... It was cool to get most of the commanders to join my team within 15mins during the break at our combat shoot range.. Hope this will enhance the cohension between the Specialists and the Officers... I wanted to laugh at OC Bravo (Quak) when he wanted his company to cheer and ended up with no or low response.... My company got 2nd in the cohension competition which I think is the company's overall effort and also giving credit to the commanders and those men who put in effort to perform for the company in bowling and outdoor games...

ROM date has been set at 18 Sept in Amara Sentosa... Still saving up for the day (thats why need to strike lottery).. Heard from my fiance that my best mate proposed to his gf at last.. Wished him all the best and may he strike lottery too..

Posting pics of the new done up house next week......

Ready to strike?

2008-06-22T19:50:00.001+08:00

No... not at all.. Tomorrow.. 1 week off work and on gahment service.. hopefully it does not rain at all during wednesday and thursday.. Please rain heavily on Tuesday morning.. so I need not go for IPPT...

2008-05-31T23:12:00.013+08:00

Upgrading to a better house in Malaysia.. Attached are some of the pictures.. Dad is going move in soon. But I dun think I will stay there first till June 30.. cos work and army commitments coming up soon.. haiz.. I still have a few things to buy for my room and I aint got enough money cos I am saving for the diamond ring.. soooo sadd.. maybe gotta wait till July.. Hopefully by then I would have got that diamond ring....

Manchester United, Champions of Europe!

2008-05-23T01:43:00.003+08:00

YEAH!!!! stayed up after work to watch the Champions League Final.. Stick all the way to the end till the last kick.. DAMN HAPPY to see that Man Utd won but kinda sad to see Terry cry.. but then.. too bad.. he is not a Man Utd player.. next season shall see who is going to leave Chelsea.. and of course Man Utd.. Ronaldo might be a possibility but then I think after he goes to Spain, his exposure to the world might not be that great...

This week's work was smooth going with not much trouble or difficulties to handle.. Im kind of used to taking trade calls and going back to take queries calls is kinda boring for me as every time the calls are almost the same.. but I could learn other things so.. its give and take..

Preparing for my new room in Msia.. going to have a open house on the 30th of June... I still havent got time to buy my room's wall light and a standing lamp.. gotta wait till later (payday) to dig out some money for the lights.. Mui Tax is also up again.. sianz.. quite a sum gone before i see it.. it is even worse that income tax or GST! HAHAHA

Enjoy your week as I am going to enjoy my one and only long weekend for this month...

Most people need to have good IQ and EQ, but for terrorists they need good AQ (Al-Qaeda)

Look Singapore men... the reality of marrying a China women, see Ronald Susilo even the famous China girl also wants to occupying all the wealth even they are divorced. This shows that all China women are the same.. they marry for money not love...

Was kinda sad that most ppl were not around when Lirong and I left the office.. and after reaching home, realised I did not get SR to sign my timesheet.. gotta get it signed on MOnday.. Lucky I was still in the company as what LR had told me... HAHA yes it is... very happy that I am going back to level 5 but hopefully I wun get to sit in the same desk, before I left for level 2 or else it is kinda funny.. no scenery no nothing.. very sad if it is.. I am getting fatter by the day, IPT is going to finish which is great...

Im beginning to like crocodile office wear, nice and comfortable, it is fitting and it is also priced reasonable..

Wish everyone All the Best in the Marketing Department..

Earth Hour

2008-03-18T20:49:00.001+08:00

Save the Earth by switching off your electrical applicances and save fuel by not driving for one hour.. a little from everyone makes a big difference..! 29th March.. 8pm.. please do it together.. Thanks!

Wait.

2008-03-15T17:18:00.004+08:00

its quite outrageous to wait for 2 hours just to take a x-ray that is less than... 4 mins of wait???
BUT... we were not that stupid and yet lucky.. while waiting.. in fact seeing that the queue is at 20+ when we were queued at 89... I intend to have the x-ray done on Monday.. then went to open a joint account with candy, went up again to see the queue.. 051... still got a long time.. so we decided to go and eat.. took about another half hour... went up again.. 087.. OoOooOO lucky.. waited for 5 mins.. registered, go to room 5, waited for 1 min.. took the x-ray and left... this is a very worthy 2 hours spent..

Wonder why it took so long.. and seeing so many people, why is it that there is only 2 counters opened for registration and 1 for poly only, yet the poly only counter could be used to register other patients as well..

Mas Selamat = Micheal Scofield

2008-03-05T22:48:00.003+08:00

Now i am worrying my future... There are operations, ARMs, Customer Service Rep.. all like not very favourable to me..

working aunties and balancing people in MRT

2008-01-03T22:33:00.000+08:00

Have u ever seen some working aunties in the mrt cabin vying for a seat in a fully packed train?? I find them very funny, they would do anything just to get a seat in the train.. when they see a seat miles away.. they would bang everyone down just to get to that seat.. end up! a bangala just slowly strolled to the seat.. and you can just see their face turn from astonishment to pure anger.. they would stare at the person like he/she owes her 1 billion dollars.. its like a kind of comedy that you would see everytime u take a mrt to work and home..

Today morning just saw one incident.. an auntie saw a seat at the other end of the train.. rush from one door to another door, then this guy just slowly walked and had that seat.. she bang into dunno how many ppl and just let the precious seat taken away.. then everyone was looking at her.. then she just stand in middle of the cabin waiting for a seat.. as the train stopped at one station, ppl starts to board and one guy in the CORNER SEAT (AUNTIES & EVERYONE LOVES IT MOST) stood up, she er hua bo shou, bu guan shan qi er shi yi, wanted to have that seat, then she bang into a pregnant woman.. she saw it and you can see her disappointment look and in turn the pregnant woman wanted to give up her seat to her.. but to prevent ppl from commenting her on the back, she sadly gave up the seat to the pregnant woman.. What a sad day for her~~~

I also admire people who stand in the mrt train without holding to any pole or handles.. I find them really amazing in their balancing act, some could even nap while standing freely.. clapzzz.. and now I think mrt trains have even upgraded to encourage people to hold the handles by making the handles to be on the nearer side of the seats instead in the center.. i think it is a good move as this would accomodate more people.. but still I wish someday those "balancing" people would fall down while doing their balancing act.. then it will be the highlight of the day for me..

some thoughts

2007-12-31T18:00:00.000+08:00

I just tot of something, vegetarians said that they dun eat meats because they dun wan to support killing of animals.. But I think they are worse off than us.. They are competing for the food that the animals are eating too.. PLANTS.... this makes the animals have less food and in the end it will become a dog eat dog world...

EOY

2007-12-27T20:31:00.000+08:00

End of Year sucks.. boredom in office. wasting of time.. I just want to sleep!!!!!!

ICT over

2007-12-20T14:36:00.000+08:00

Went for my ICT on 10/12/07.. It was damn hectic all day all night, the moment I get to in pro, I was called up to cut my hair as they were long and untidy.. $5 gone~.. In Pro and went to my company line, check my duffel bag for contraband items and then went to draw arms.. and went for commanders training for the rest of the day. At night need to settle stores for the platoon as I was the stand in PS as Sharin the idiot is not coming for this ICT..

Tuesday, went for commanders navigation in Marsiling and then were caught in the rain when we were reaching the objective.. whole body was wet and was demoralised already as I do not like to be wet unless I am in the rain all day.. Went back and settle stores again for the platoon battle course.. Haiz.. Called sharin up and fuck him upside down.. that became the release channel for anger and fustration for me... HAHAHA.. Then the OC says that as our company has very little officers and specialists around for this ICT and we are on a high key ICT which meant that there will be a battalion exercise at the end of the ICT, it meant that we need to split one platoon to join with the other 2 platoon.. Ended up, jimmy became the PC and I became the PS for platoon 7.5. Tang became the PS for platoon 9. He cursed as he has become the PS for platoon 8 in the last ICT and now taking on the PS role again...

Wednesday, FIBUA training, the only time and last time I fired 2 shots.

Thursday, platoon battle course easy shit..

Friday, company mission exercise walked all the way to the FUP ended up, it rained damn heavily.. and the trainers says we need to go to the training shed for shelter.. WTF! everyone in the company cursed and swear.. we walked to the objective for only 2 km and to the shelter needed an extra 4 km. by the time we reached the training shed, the rain is already going to stop.. everyone was saying that, "does it meant that in war time and it rains, the war is not going to continue? Singapore Army is going to suffer if everytime rain comes when it is in war as we soldiers are already not trained to fight in the rain.." HAHAHA.. Next time, rain no need to fight war again.. SAF rocks!..

Saturday, Day off

Sunday, afternoon move off for the hasty defence.. everyone was already very tired by the time we started digging as the day was really very hot.. at night everyone just fall asleep and waited for the other reservist unit to attack us..

Monday, no one attacked us and enemy was simulated by our 84 team and it was very funny was platoon 9 PC called on the platoon to charge at the enemy and also called them to retreat so that he could give them water.. HAHAHA... then waited to clear the stores and I had to go up and down to make sure that everything was returned. Then everyone loaded the tonner and troop lift to our concentration area for our dawn attack, the moment we got there it started to rain and worse still we had to get our fresh ration and some were wondering are we going to eat rice or porridge with this kind of weather... sent some men to collect the ration and they came back telling us that other companies were in the tonners taking shelter and we were the only ones out in the rain.. everyone cursed the OC with this type of welfare and then by the time we were allowed to get into the tonner all was too late as what done has been done.. we were not going to forgive our OC with this type of treatment given to us... Night came and we started to move off from the start line...

Tuesday, the way we are walking, walking for 10m and stopping for 15 mins was very atrocious as it is just a 5km walk and we needed 6 hours to walk???? it is simply outrageous.. upon hearing that the OC had break contact with the scouts, the men were even more fustrated as this means that it will be another long wait, what the men want are that they just want to walk finished and reach near the FUP and had a longer rest for them to have a good fight.. Reached the FUP at last after much delay, H hour reached and we started attacking.. WTF!!! NO ENEMY AT OUR OBJECTIVE.. haiz.. thats the end of our BME.. stupid exercise.. no rounds expended again...

Wednesday, did survey, listened to CO TCSS.. OUT PRO.. End of ICT!

Going for ICT/Reservist tomolo till next wednesday.. morale is quite low as it has been raining these few days and I really hate rainy days when I am out in the field. First, I am having foot rot, with these rainy days ahead, my foot will get worse.. 2nd abrasion easily I will get when it is damp and i am not dry.. damn sad..

Hopefully meeting up with all the friends again will cheer me up as the last time we met was like in july when I just came back from aussie and after that everyone is busy till this ICT.. Will be away these few days, hopefully the stocks i bought will keep on rising and I will have nothing to worry about... byebye

painting and some changes..

2007-12-03T11:30:00.000+08:00

Logistics, courier, mailroom.. anything but marketing...

2007-11-27T21:22:00.000+08:00

Yesterday and today have been very tiring, settling issues with the calendars and cards and also delivering the cards and calendars to the various departments. Some things that I learnt in my uni days started to come back... satisfying internal customers have been hard... But I had learnt it the hard way with some colleagues reflecting on the distribution for the calendars and cards that I am in charge of... Which is a good lesson for me...

I could really say that I am the internal mailroom for my department officially.. Yesterday, mailroom called one of my colleague who is situated at 2nd floor to get some stuffs, instead of getting the other temp girl who is nearer to him, he told the mailroom to call me instead.. HAHA in the end it was just a filmsy paper which anyone can handle..

I can also say that I am doing logistic in the department also as I am now currently consolidating, organising of 3 orders for our branch... There is also one pending project for me but I still need to wait for instructions before I send out instructions to the various departments...

I am happy working at my level but is quite demoralised with the fact that I could not get a permanent job at all.. Looking forward to this weekend as I am going to paint my room and giving it a overall makeover..

yet another week...

2007-11-23T22:53:00.000+08:00

Story that I wrote to my colleague:

HAHA long story...

The calendars order, 1000 (500 bilingual, 500 normal) of them are for charity. Then I send them an email (9.11.2007) that time to update the order as starting it was 1000 with normal logo. Then the printer din notice about the update and print 1000 normal logo and then somemore they based the printing not from the email but from the distribution list (16.11.2007) which I gave them, so they printed it wrongly as my list did not state the quantity for the different logos under the charity column then they tell me that they did the printing wrongly. To cover up for my mistakes and her mistakes, I email HK side to ask them whether they can take in the normal ones so that they don't have to reprint. Lucky they accept it, so end up we cover our backsides.. Phew~

Friday...

Calendars orders are here.. a whole lorry of calendars and it is 6.00pm everyone is going home.. The deliverymen and I were doing the delivering to the various departments, lucky some of them are still in the office, lucky that I knew where some of them sits which makes the handing over easier and therefore we are able to get the things done within 2 hours with like ??700?? over boxes placed in where they should be.. worse thing is that, I dunno why my mailroom knows that they should call me when the orders came, I think I have become the next mailroom to their mailroom when they need to handle big bulk of stuffs... I am.. the marketing internal mailroom cum logistic cum courier.. My job is no more just an admin staff.. HAHA is that good or bad for a marketing graduate? I wonder why some get to have good job and good pay when they come out yet I got only a temp position in a company... Am I that inferior to them?? Is that really meritocracy all about? study hard hard get good job, study not good you get cert also no one wants you.. WTF~.. That might be what luck, fate, destiny are all about?? it really sucks to the core...

Singapore economy is bluffing us all along... I have not get a permanent job yet and the papers are still reporting that fresh graduates are not meeting the demand.. _|_ sg papers..

Internal mail man..

2007-11-17T06:13:00.000+08:00

I dunno about other departments but I think mine is a pai kia department.. Yesterday we were supposed to be in a fire drill yet everyone in our department were like in holiday mood as we are going to celebrate one of our colleague's birthday.. We went to a jap restaurant in suntec.. Shin (dunno what) and then waited for her just before the fire drill.. (and thus escaped the "fire") then my other colleague dragged her and she was stunned when she sees everyone of us waiting for her.... HAHA.. over with that.... Now my job in the department becomes the internal marketing courier guy.. always making delivery between the 2nd and 5th floor... then I am also the logistic guy in the department and worse yet I have become the APAC logistic guy as I have been helping the APAC department to deliver stuffs and making sure that the deliveries came in and arrange for DHL and making sure that everything were in place.. HAHAHA got to go... sending candy to our friend's place.. she is having her wedding today.. good luck guys and girls.

PDA phone!

2007-11-05T20:49:00.001+08:00

HAHA candy and I both got ourselves a pda phone!!

Weekend again!!!

2007-11-02T22:41:00.000+08:00

Weekend is here again.. sooo fast.. hectic week for me, we were having an event overseas and yet we had only 2 persons coordinating the event over there.. our dept therefore had to assist them here in any ways we could... sometimes i wonder why some vendors or supplier are so reluctant to see us, we wanted to give them $$ yet they keep pushing us away.. -.-" Singapore sees the lowest unemployment rate ever.. yar yar yar.. lotsa jobs no ppl to fill up... why I still cannot find a permanent job yet? unemployment rate is low but what I think is that unhappiness in the job rate is damn high among lotsa employees.

2007-11-02T22:39:00.000+08:00

contradicting notice

2007-10-30T20:22:00.000+08:00

Today, I just saw a notice in my pantry that says "Protect the earth, use less paper cup" then to my surprise, we do not have paper cups. We have styrofoam cups... Erm... Is the styrofoam cups more hurting to the earth or the paper cups? To what I know styrofoam cups are non biodegradable but paper cup could be biodegradable.. Perhaps the company thinks that paper cups are hurting the earth so they use styrofoam cups that "would not" hurt the earth?? Hmm.. who knows..

Chair

2007-10-24T22:16:00.000+08:00

Hello, I just bought 2 office chairs for my brother and I.. treated it as a birthday present for him.. hahaha.. actually wanted to get a ps3, but then no $$.. fixed the chairs and now I am happily sitting on it with confidence.. HA HA HA $128x2 for ikea chair.. Yesterday went to buy a printer for one of our company event, we were at South Asia computers in Funan (the one you can go into on the outside via the escalator straight) we almost bought one printer from them but when we saw a smaller one we asked them to let us see the other printer (the colleagues going over there wanted a portable one). Attitude of the staff.. -100 seems practically dun bother to sell their products and then ask their staff there they just point you to the direction and then they also dunno the products they are selling (product knowledge - NIL). simply walked out and went to the shop next door to buy from them.. They were professional and recommend several products for you to choose and tells you how to use them, etc..

Moral of the story, when you want to sell things.. KNOW your stuff.

ar!!!!

2007-10-22T22:22:00.001+08:00

AR!!! Leng Jie reads my blog!!! haha.. My mum called Brandon - Brenda I type Brandon as Bradon. oops.. sorry for the typo.. edited already.. cheers.

To be sad or not to be?

2007-10-19T20:27:00.000+08:00

My temp job in credit suisse just got extended till next year.. one thing i am not happy about is that, my hourly pay did not increase.. damn low morale.. $7 for a graduate then other people out there earning like 2.5 - 3k a month. damn sianz.. But then what I am happy is that credit suisse is a nice company to work for.. everyday got different problems to tackle.. This is because they have so many events going on.. I am wondering why can't they just get an event company and then sort out all the events' stuff through the event company? Today got "scolded" by one of the RMs as their cheque to one of their clients did not get through and they were scolding us for not taking ownership.. hello... if you want to please your client, please take ownership to your cheque and not pass it to the marketing to handle it.. why scold us when the accounts people are slow in their payment? It is not us who are handling payments.. also you should note to us that it is urgent instead of just letting it idle around and when situation arise then come and fuck people..

I am enjoying my Wii at the moment.. my brother is lemming for a ps3 now.. now i just wish that i could get a permanent job instead of temporary assignment when even after you worked for 6 months and start to apply for a job, people will still not consider your temporary job as experience.. life just sucks for now..

i got Wii

2007-10-14T23:15:00.000+08:00

I got my Wii at last.. $869 in total.. 2 games 2 free games (Wii Sports and Wii Play) extra nunchuck and Wii Remote and a Wiimote charger.. hmm.. nice nice.. hooked on to mario soccer charged..

back to work

2007-10-08T20:02:00.000+08:00

holidays over and i am back to work.. very tired but then heard from my colleagues that it was very very hectic for the days i am not around.. i am lucky.. for now.

Canberra

2007-10-07T14:00:00.000+08:00

Canberra is a very small capital town of Australia.. So small that it feels like a NFSC city to me.. Very easy to drive around and you can get from one place to another within half an hour.. nice place for retirement..

yeah.. tomolo im going to aussie for my graduation.. will be back at 6th oct.. working in credit suisse is great.. everyday is a hectic day.. lotsa things learnt in the company.. mainly events management for the clients and stuffs.... observe that everyone in the company seems to get paid very well because almost everyone is wearing soooo glam everyday... everyday is also a tired day for me.. almost from the 1st day of work I have been doing OT.. this is great!! haha.. good luck guys..

Credit Suisse

2007-09-13T20:43:00.000+08:00

it has been tiring for the past 2 days.. working at credit suisse as a "officeboy" hahaa.. stuck in the store for like hours?? to pack goodie bags for their upcoming golf event in Jakarta... the stuffs inside the goodie bags are fantastic!.. Nike golf balls, tees, windbreaker.. all are customised with the company's logo.. the company is also a great place to work in.. there are TVs but only CNN channel bloomberg for them to use, fruits.. lots of fruits for employees to take.. at least 3 pantries in the department.. all stocked with tibits, soft drinks, coffee maker.. no wonder it has been voted number 2 bank that graduates would like to work in...

The view is great too.. suntec on ur left, esplanade on ur right... go to toilet and what would you see?? Singapore Flyer, Meritius Mandarin.. hahaha.. damn high class office.. But then the demoralising part is that I have to wake up early and reach home very late..

Woah~~~

2007-09-11T21:18:00.000+08:00

Yeah.. My bro just pass out from his BMT today.. Congrats to him to be being a Private now..

Now I am "eagerly anticipating" for my work tomorrow at Credit Suisse.. Hopefully people at the work place are friendly and nice to work with..

kraving for krispy kreme..

2007-09-10T11:58:00.001+08:00

what have i been doing recently??

2007-09-08T22:57:00.000+08:00

been playing football manager like mad these days.. watching movies.. like 3 in a row.. going to work at credit suisse as temp for one and a half month from next wed onwards.. low morale.. dunno why.. but then it is a good company.. hope it will be a good experience.. haha..

what grinds my gears...

2007-08-30T20:15:00.001+08:00

what grinds my gears are that when i see cars on the roads some cars will have tinted headlights. why do they want to tint it and yet they wan to install HID?? isnt it stupid?? want it to look dark then when on the headlight they wan it to be bright... SOOO bright that it can blind the road from lane 1 to lane 4.. another thing that grind my gears is that.. why ppl wan to warm their engines when they are starting it up? they wan COLD AIR INTAKE yet they want hot engines.. isnt it stupid.. warming up of engine is not relevant in that case at all.. in fact it is wasting of fuel while waiting for it to "heat up" stupid.. conclusion.. it is stupid to me to tint the headlights yet install HID.. plain stupid.. and also warming of engine.. the car when it is moving it will get hot itself.. no need the warming up.... HAHA

I am going stock.

IPT

2007-08-30T11:34:00.000+08:00

yeah.. IPT finishing today after I take my IPPT.. nice.. free from RT! now the wait is for the ICT in Dec...

vista

2007-08-28T13:32:00.000+08:00

new vista application found!

Just like Ubuntu Beryl... can rotate the desktop like a 3D cube.. very difficult to find the program as it has been bought by a developer.. but then managed to google it and downloaded it for trial.. nice..

haiz..

2007-08-25T00:17:00.000+08:00

lost hope in finding a job already.. Simply down.. no hope.. GGfied.. wasted 30-50k of money on a piece of worthless shit..

still looking for job

2007-08-18T23:44:00.000+08:00

been rotting at home these past weeks.. still finding a job... maybe will stop at september if i still cant get a job.. feeling quite useless.. got a degree yet no job interviews at all... dun understand why.. papers keep saying unemployment rate lowest, ppl get alot of job offers.. i tink its all sooo fake to me.. i tink still dun have.. im going to start to think of getting into some illegal businesses HAHA.. attending my second IPT already. good workout and sees that they are implementing some new changes like having heart rate monitor so that ppl can see if they are putting in effort in their training anot... rearranged my room abit to make some room for my laptop and monitor.. took out some stuffs from the room so as to improve my room's fengshui haha..

stock markets are not performing well recently.. hopefully they are able to bounce back soon.. if not I will not be making some money at all..

-GGfied-

-.-"

2007-08-07T12:23:00.000+08:00

still cant find a job yet.. I think my academic sucks sooo big time that no one want to shortlist me at all. it is either that or the last general election voting could make a difference to your future.

Cars...and mainly girls

2007-08-02T00:31:00.000+08:00

Big Brother 2007 Australia..

2007-07-30T20:11:00.000+08:00

I have been watching Big Brother in Australia and like the programme very much.. very new concept to me cause Singapore does not have this reality show before and Aussie has been showing it for 7 years already.. Even got to great measures to ensure that I am able to watch it back in Singapore.. Winner just came out.. Aleisha is the winner.. good on ya, mate.

for the sake or love of it?

2007-07-29T23:29:00.000+08:00

Simpson movie... Singaporeans are watching it for the sake of it or for the love of the movie? Is my understanding of english improving or are singaporeans' understanding of english that lousy?

There is this scene where Homer wore a uniform and act as "General Marriot Suite", I think I was the only one understanding the joke as everyone in the cinema wasnt even laughing.. I dun understand that.. and they just treat that part as very normal... hmm.. I think they cant catch the joke or they just dun understand the concept of the jokes made in Simpson's cartoon.. Most probably they are just watching it because the review says so..

stewie griffin lookalike.. LAOHU!

2007-07-29T23:18:00.000+08:00

I managed to get a similar color and clothes for laohu to impersonate as stewie griffin in family guy.. haha comparing that laohu has almost the same personality.. they simply match each other.. haha

inflated projection

2007-07-26T23:49:00.000+08:00

sg paper just bluff us.. saying that graduates are in good demand on jobs.. 3 applications 3 offers, 5 applications 4 offers, 6 applications 3 offers... I had sent 20 over application, 1 offer and that offer sucks big time.. SG papers just bluffed us.. they should get average or below average graduates for interviews and not those super scholars to project these "good" economy in the sg.. simply bluffing everyone and every graduates..

most meaningful saturday

2007-07-21T18:50:00.000+08:00

ytd was psycho by quak and yeo to go swimming at hwa chong institution... rejected them at first but then accepted it when i found that it had been a long time that i had gone swimming.. went there and then swam 20 laps.. each lap earned you $4 for the disabled charity.. nice job.. quak raised $120++ yeo $100 me $80 dehua $160.. good job...

Family guy

2007-07-17T01:10:00.000+08:00

this week

2007-07-08T12:53:00.000+08:00

SG is real hot and humid.. it is not the hotness that sucks it is the humidity that irritates you.. went to bedok 85 to meet my army mates and had BAR CHOR MEE.. then went to find amos and gang after alot of pondering "whether to go club or not" the very next day, Candy came and bought me CHICKEN RICE and had NASI BRYANI... yumz.. then missed pizza in aussie and order meatlovers and pepperoni.. I din realise till my brother said that he cannot finish one pizza yet I can finish it in one go.. hahaha I am really getting fatter by the day.. then saturday went to meet gary they all and had dinner at Longhouse.. food were not that great as it was advertised.. "too much advertising make things go bad"

Thats how I spent my week in SG.. getting to the sequential "3 things that you can do in SG" that is eating, movie, shopping very very soon... wanting to get a Wii but still need to wait for my invested share price to go up a bit more...

I had forgotten to take a picture of the bar chor mee and send it to Vincent.. maybe laksa will make him hate me.. hahaha

kinda miss the politeness that aussie ppl have.. sg manners just sucks.. maybe it is just not sg's culture..

and yar.. I MISS BIG BROTHER!!

Walk around city

2007-07-01T11:52:00.000+08:00

Went to have a walk around the city to buy some stuffs before going back to sg, saw a demostration along the streets.. then found the shopping arcade that I wanted to see which is this old interior rather than along the streets even though these buildings are old in the exterior it is renovated in the interior.. i dunno what i am typing.. just see the pics..

Great Ocean Road.. at last

2007-06-27T21:56:00.000+08:00

After much delay, expectations, desire and daydream... I had at long last went to the Great Ocean Road.. I did not drive the full destination as there were not enough time for us to go all the way and also $$ for me.. Just drove up to Apollo Bay then came straight home.. started the journey at 730am... It was traffic jam all the way to springvale road but we avoided it till then and took nepean hwy end up it was still jam.. we reach the city 2 hours later that meant that we were late for out schedule.. drove to torquay to shop awhile as this place is quite famous for its surf beaches and we just went to Rip Curl, Billabong, Quiksilver shops before continuing our journey... drove back took another 5 hours i think.. that sucks.. now I am having a headache..

Rental of car - $140

Petrol - $63
Citylink toll - $11

Great Ocean Road - Priceless~

Below are some pics...

along some beaches before the start of the trip

NGUM = National Go Up Month

2007-06-24T10:40:00.001+08:00

when the time i am back, it will be in July that is the NGUM... everything goes up except our salary.. is it that sg is making every singaporean to be in the rat race??

6 years

2007-06-24T01:36:00.000+08:00

hmm.. It has been 6 years since I first saw her and fell in love with her in my friend's chalet.. time passes so fast.... 3 months later we were together.. and now we are still together.. so yah... 365x6=2190 days.. thats how long we have known each other and the number of days are still going.. this is just great

Going back home...

2007-06-22T22:38:00.000+08:00

Woooo.. I have been packing my luggage to get back to sg even before my exam ends! hopefully I dun get overweight in terms of luggage not me.. haha.. Played my last soccer game in Monash Peninsula, kinda cool.. reminds me of players in Manchester United.. Smoke coming out of your mouth, raining.. and obviously very cold temperature.. played with my jacket on and I still feel damn cold.... everyone in the game had disperse.. some graduating, some staying, some going to other parts of the world.. It is nice meeting people from all over the world.. thats the best part of overseas studies.. Hopefully I could meet them again when I am working in the society or travelling around the world (if I get the chance...)

Wii

2007-06-22T13:08:00.001+08:00

demoralised??

2007-06-21T19:55:00.000+08:00

It is quite demoralising when you see your friends around you going home and then u are still stuck in this pathetic town studying for ur exam.. meaning.. people have finished their paper but then you havent end finished yet.. I was one of the few to start the exam first and then I am also one of the few to finish it last.. haiz.. hopefully I could get good grade for my last paper.. then off to great ocean road before I am on my way back to sg... 5 months passes real fast.. I remember the day that I just reached here with ashley and vincent and then candy came over during easter break, then now i am going back real soon... should be spending some months idling till the next year to find job and start the rat race..

PATHETIC....

random thoughts again

2007-06-20T11:16:00.000+08:00

there are products like moisturiser for body and moisturiser for face. I was wondering why they need to separate the 2 products that are used in different part of our body. Aint the face also part of our body. you may argue face is more delicate or sensitive than other parts of our body but then the some body moisturisers would say that "... it could be used on some of the most sensitive skin...try our facial moisturiser.." erm.. i think we could just use the body moisturiser for the face as well..

It is all about money making.. aint ur face covered with ur same skin as ur body??

Nice Steak and Oysters at last

2007-06-19T23:39:00.000+08:00

Today, went to Steakhouse at Docklands to have dinner with Clara... It was the last time we will be having dinner together and also for her very belated birthday treat hehehe.. nice steak overall.. You all should try if you ever come over to Melbourne, Australia.. Overall nice steak, but not with a very nice ambience..

Oysters at last
