Trail of broken hearts

chapter 19 : wolverling

2009-06-07T22:03:00.006+08:00

hmmm, isn't it tough to maintain a blog? how many months have passed after my last post? who would be interested anyway....

but anyway, check the new layout and my cleaned up tagbox out... i now named it 'leave a message'... i left it to be blue because, my favourite color is blue, because my favourite football club are the current fa cup champions, and the english and european champions to be, Chelsea FC!!!!

and also, no more music, cause i have learnt from train rides that the others might not like the same kind of music as much as you do! so, as much as possible... STFU !!!

how about an update on myself?

over the past 9 months or so, life has been a like a rollercoaster ride, there were no doubt ups and downs which was never experienced before, and had definately hit me in the hardest manner, so hard that i became very unhappy. i hated and blamed myself for bringing this upon myself, and of course, i am trying as hard as i could, to become my jovial and carefree old self.

some of you might be curious, what actually happened? but, this is a secret which i really want it to remain a secret in a chapter of my life. so, if you're 'friendly' enough, just know that i've been through something which i don't want you to know, try not to mention it, try not to probe, try to help me forget all about it...

i'm close, i'm leaving it behind myself, i'm determined to come back, much stronger and smarter. i'm taking it as a huge lesson learnt, and i'm taught in a hard way, never to take the same path that i have mistakenly took, ever again.

i have achieved many things in recent months, i've picked up tennis, gotten a '1-star' cert in canoeing, tried wakeboarding, went taiwan (which happened to be a beautiful country), played alot of mahjong (suuuut!) spent and lost alot of money, not earning any...

but things are about to change... now that i've gotten a job, starting this coming thursday. that's something to be happy about isn't it? auditor woooh ...

and in about 3 months, i will be 'captured' to a not so faraway island, to be developed into something called "WEAPON @#!@$%^"... shhh, this is top secret, i've got my dogtags customed made, and i call myself, "wolverling"....

alright, before i become too imaginative ... ciao ...

time check ....

2008-08-30T05:38:00.005+08:00

well, its after exams and since when did i last posted? argh !

today is the day, we start our last weekend of 'poly life' !
today is the day, we step into our last weekend before entering the work force!
and today is perhaps the last day, i am able to sit down and type my blog post at 20 mins to 6am ...

why do all good things come to an end ???

the exams has just ended (actually ... it ended since last week... but anyway), hope everyone did well ... but that apart, we are all going to embark into our next chapter of life !!!!!! (yeah! not quite, but close... at least a taste of it...)

have heard of many cases where the internship lets you have a feel of what you are going to be in maybe 3 years time... or putting it in another way , it makes you hate your job in the future WAY BEFORE THE FUTURE.... voila !crystal ball !

but like it or not, we will have to face it... so.. look on the bright side (maybe theres some ... let yall know when i come up with one...)

mines not so bad, hp, alexendra .. few bus stops away ... have 2 direct bus ... dont think there will be morning rush ... daily transportation cost.... perhaps 80 cents per trip ... not the best of course... could be better (if only i was assigned to hp depot road)... does that make you drool already ?? catch this... might have shuttle bus trips between both hps.... wahahaha .... but dont count on anything ... might be just a fantasy ....

then, to top up that fantastic fantasy ... i hope that there will be a gym or something within the building... and i hope that i will find some force within myself to utilize my 'employee benefit' to full use ... my aim is to become that death race guy (just caught the movie at 2am ... '_____ ' like a straw .... get the message?) washboard abs , nut cracker biceps... but spare me the hair... i'd like my own ... and most importantly - chick navigators ... whoo ! mummy! i want that one !!

speaking of which, i have taken up motorcycle lessons! soon enough , i will be like batman ! can ride his batmobile and his batbike (is there a name for it?)!

ooh ! diddnt i just find the last piece of the puzzle ?

picture this ; washboard abs , nut cracker biceps , chicks and batman's class 2b and 3 licences... doesnt all these make me a candidate for the next batman movie ?!?!?!

its 6am ! dream about this and it just.... i repeat, just... might come true ...

why so serious ?????

back to school ....

2008-06-25T00:09:00.006+08:00

hi everybody ...

its been awhile since i've last blogged (my usual opening)... and yes ... here i am ... to report my status over the 2 weeks holiday, and the present...

speaking about the present. ive seen a quote somewhere, on someone's msn display name ... which goes like this : yesterday is history , tomorrow is the future, today is a gift , thats why its called the present.... how nice is'nt it ...

anyway... i have spent my longest holidays left (attachments coming up) so no more long holidays, attending 2 camps, which of course i had fun, and made lots of friends, juniors in particular ... cause im the oldest everywhere i go... and people still ask whether im 1.1, or 1.2 ....

todays' the first day of school , and damn it .. i dont like it ... slept at 3 the previous night , heywired bio clock after all the euro action, and turned up in school to realize how close the project submission dates are .... stayed behind in school to finish up auditing project and chatted with my best friends vera and archana to discuss about the traffic conditions in indonesia and india.. apparently , not places you want to drive in ... the discussion ended at around 7.30 ? or so ... and went home la .. duh ...

the interesting part was yet to come ... i slept on the bus, and when it was reaching queensway (2 stops away from destination) , i woke up but then dropped dead and when i finally woke up for real .. i was at telok blangah (4-5 stops away).... i gasped (like literally : huuuuuurr!!!)

then calmly ... i did not rush to get down , cause from previous experience, i rushed down, and realize there is no proper crossing to get on the opposite side of the road... so , i waited till there was an overhead bridge then alighted la ....

then nevermind, i wait for the 57, very long... (pardon me with the lousy english... words from my mind...). when it finally came ... the bus driver like not happy to stop like that .... chiong so fast then stop so far away from the bus stop ... im sure he diddnt want to stop in the first place .. he was like pointing the behind of the bus to me, perhaps trying to trick me to take the bus behind... but hello !! bus numbers and routes happen for a reason ... its the only bus i can take into my village... then i was like what !!! arms wide open (try to imagine la...) .... and then he was perhaps afraid i would give him a hulk smash, and he finally stopped far away ...

i was expecting him to confront me while i borded the bus, but nothing of such happened and so just close half eye la (incase i fall asleep again if i close both....) perhaps we both had our bad days...

~just for fun~

relac only ....

2008-03-21T23:27:00.002+08:00

its been more than a month since i last made a post, or even visit my own blog, a very good day to all of you! and thank you for tuning in to another day of 'anderson's boring life'.

other than procrastination (running circles in my head!), actually, there isn't anything to comment about. my results, the amount of money I'm investing into the economy, the way I'm ruining my eyes, and the amount of rest I'm getting.

firstly, congratulations to all who have done well in your exams, and the congratulations does not go to myself, because, again, Ive declined. its been a downhill ever since, and there isn't a sign of climbing back. nevertheless, again this time, I'm going to say, alright, its time to get something higher (well wishes to myself!),

i guess I'll forgive myself for all the spending - way of socializing isn't it? cant possibly save up and coop myself at home.

and then this is sinful, banging the buttons on my psp, squinting my eyes aiming into the cross hair, trying to shoot down a terrorist by a head shot (save ammo mah...) . if you've noticed, the advertisement 'frames' (or whatever you call that) on bus stops, besides nas silemak, theres another one telling parents to keep their children away from psps, and let me add another advice, do not play the psp on buses! i tell you, not only that its glaring by the windows, the 'gradual' motion of the buses can kill you! trust me, its proven...

and then, comes the amount of rest, I'm not trying to mock at anyone, and I'm least proud of this... i sleep at around 3am everyday, forgetting time on my psp, and then still, im getting at least 8 hours, 12 hours in fact of sleep, and then during the day, whenever i have nothing to do, ill just head into the room, lying down, singing to the tune of the radio waves...

ooh! not forgetting, i watch the Ellen degeneres show everday! arrrrrrrrr !!! arrrrrrrrrrrrr !!! arrrrrrrrr !!! but i like it, shes funny and cool! but the audiences got to stop screaming, its making her show feel like opera.... enough is enough ! (take it back and put it in your pocket!) haha.

holidays is coming to an end, how did all these time get by me and i dont notice it ?!?! anyway. enjoy it while you can, and we will be up for our final years, if not, 2 years in the camouflage designers!

ooh, and to all ex TA26 classmates, its the final year, and we've split-ED up. its alright! and hope that we'll have fun in our new classes, and of course, we shall still hang out during our lunch breaks!!!

'feeling' ?

2008-02-02T01:33:00.000+08:00

holla !! it wont be soon before long, we celebrate yet another year of shopping for new clothes, bak kuahs, pineapple tarts, and of course ... ANGPAOS !!! a merry cny to all of you !

but yet, the festivities this year diddnt seem to affect me... probably of the upcoming exams... argh !!! honestly speaking, i should be spending right now to study instead of typing this post, which probably wouldnt help in anyway of scoring in the exams... but still .. theres no 'feeling' to start studying now ...

no 'feeling' to study , no 'feeling' for new year... then what?

how about hibernation?

no la ... life goes on .... i know i'll have to face it anyway .. so , i'll start as soon as this sunday ! sumpa !

until then ... 新年快乐!

looking back ...

2008-01-06T18:36:00.000+08:00

i know that this is kind of late, but still , worth a mention... stepping into a fresh new year, we shall now look back to the year 2007 with my first post of 2008 ...

as always, i have always wished for a 'brand new me year', which turned out to be the same old anderson who you've always seen - ever lazy to think hard enough to get things done properly ... seriously , i think its some habit i wish i could change, but it isnt all bad is it ? i dont think thats going to change too much in the coming year. Anyway ....

now, time to travel back in time,

Beep beep beep !

Time machine capsule, passengers, please proceed into the passenger chamber (duh !) ...

Launching in 5 seconds . Buckle up ...

1....

WwwwwwAaaaaaRrrrrrPppppp !!!

Alright, here we are, 2007 i'll have to say , its been kinda eventful, in many ways .. it has been a year where,

- Chelsea did not win the premiership , but won the FA and Carling cups, where all the sourgrapes who could not win thought were unimportant trophys !

- parents almost set my pet terrapins free !

- Singapore is close to experiencing snow (i hope not !)

- bought my psp , regretted ..

- digital camera ! sweeeeet ...

- realised my super duper hi-fi has only the radio function , and the frequency could not be changed ..

- turned 18 , did many things that i couldnt legally do , before ...

- went to Cambodia, beautiful country , beautiful people, learnt lots (good and bad things...)

- almost got myself amputated while playing soccer .

- realised how impossible it is to become a millionaire.

- and to try to get into a local university ...

- started having resolutions, which turned out to be just hopeful dreams ...

- and many other dirty little secrets, which should stay as they were ...

this is my 2007 , whats yours ??

Happy New Year

im tired ! althought i havent been studying much .. but still ! i dont know whats wrong with the school ! here we are going to start our common tests this saturday . and here we have lectures covering topics that are not included in the common tests , instead of the much needed and at the same time , potentially life saving - the holy revision lectures ! and , im spending what could be my studying time to do my tutorials ! hello ! god only gave us 24hours in a day !

what is this ?!!

its killing me !!!!

realisation

2007-11-21T00:13:00.000+08:00

when was the last time i added a post? cant remember .. anyway .. the pressure is really piling up and I'm feeling the 'heat' now ! yet at the same time, I'm losing steam !!! please motivate me...!

alright, besides that, there's nothing fun to share, besides i am taking my driving lessons now ! feels like the arcade! this time, for real ! and the tokens aren't cheap! yet its so fun ! even though I'm only turning rounds in the circuit (going out to the REAL road the coming lesson ! yay !!!)... and , knowing that you wont want to drive in 'daytona speeds' thrilling it might seem to be ... wet your pants then you know!

then, i have a long weekend approaching ! finally ended my photography classes ... really dread walking around taking pictures... especially taking pictures of people. never know when people will mistake you for a voyeur, snapping away with your digital camera instead of a giant camera (what do you call that giant ?C-- something...) which will make you look like you are taking real pictures in anyway.

presenting to you... ! some of the few pictures that will hopefully earn me an AD for my IS ....

Good Night !

updates updates !

2007-10-31T00:58:00.000+08:00

Well , its been 3 weeks since I've imposed 'my rules' . everythings' been well. And to those who are guessing when am i ever gonna break the rules all at once and just give up on my 'false hopes' .... up till this point, I'm still going strong. perhaps some leeway are already surfacing, but the essence of the 'rules' are still adhered to - namely , doing my tutorials, taking down notes, and keeping my room clean.

so, until then ........
*fingers crossed*

Keep moving forward

2007-10-15T22:04:00.001+08:00

alright, after all the anticipation , school is offically starting , with effect tomorrow (at least for me).

after all the saying that ive been a changed person. i felt that , this time round, i will have to push myself in order to keep the spirit going on. knowing myself, im not really the hypercharged type, i'll lose steam in no time.

SO , i have came out with a set of reminders, to accompany me throughout the rest of the semester, take a look ... :

hopefully these helps .... all the best !

wake up call

2007-10-11T00:52:00.000+08:00

Being to Cambodia , to me , was a trip of a lifetime. not only that it was enjoyable, got to know many fantastic people ; of whom previously i do not know, it was more than fulfilling , and a wake up call for me.

prior to the trip, i believe that everyone was feeling the same uncertainties, of whether we are able to bond as a team, whether there are going to be conflicts within ourselves, whether the kids there are rowdy , whether we are going to be accustomed to the food there, whether are there hygiene issues, whether your bunk mate snores at night ....

i believe we had handled every aspect of the uncertainties very well, i mean personally , i believe that i couldnt have done better. but apart from that . i find that , it was indeed a huge step down , from where we are right now. Living in Singapore, i cant help but to say , i am indeed a lucky, spoiled but yet blessed brat, taking life over here for granted. only after looking at the kids in Cambodia, i have realised how freaking lucky i am being born in Singapore.

for instance, drinking water is so rare in Cambodia, people there had to either, filter their water before consumption, purchase distilled mineral water, or in the worst circumstances, drink directly from the well, which i don't think any one of our Singaporean stomachs will be able to handle. not only do you know mentally its not clean enough for consumption , but you could see how unclear it is , how yellowish it is, how murky it is, as compared to Singaporean tap water.

but yet ! back in Singapore... although theres always an issue saying how precious water is to our country , i couldn't see how is it that we have the cheek to say that, when we can even afford to play with water; clean, distilled, drinkable water.

and take education for example, every Singaporean child will have to go through a compulsory 10 years of basic education . but over at Cambodia, have you ever wondered how lucky you are if only you could afford education? and for those who could afford it. you would well wish that theres some quality education going on and a conducive learning environment. but sad to say . its a big no.

just as we have our man made eco ponds, they have a makeshift 'lake' caused by rain. just as we have our soccer field, they have a vast piece of unmowed grass patch. just as we have plastic tables (of which often falls victims to vicious metal rulers), they have unfinished shabby wooden tables. just as we always have textbooks for reference, they have only their own notebooks to depend on . just as we have air conditioned half filled lecture halls, they have congested classrooms, where about 80 kids squeeze into a classroom about 3/4 of ours.

imagine those circumstances, but yet the children had no complains, because they have this never dying thirst of knowledge, because they know that education is their only way out of poverty. a university education is the only way they could possibly work in the bank , which earns them about US$80 a month- about SG$ 120...

i admit that it is the fact that we are living in Singapore. in this materialistic, extravagant, concrete jungle for the high fliers.

and i do admit that we cant possibly immerse ourselves in the lives of the Cambodians. that i believe, indeed we do have a difference in the course of life . but the least we could do is that there is a serious call for a change in attitudes. do be aware of the difference in situations, only then , do we know about how blessed we actually are, and how much already we had taken this blessed lives of ours for granted...

be thankful that we are not born into a place :
where potable water is scarce,
where education is rare,
where having new clothes to wear is a luxury,
where the roads never fails to bring you motion sickness,
where your bed is a grass mat on a wooden bunk,
where you have only one dish and plenty of rice for every single meal,
where the drainage is a two way traffic (it comes in and out !),
where your teachers plays truant instead of you!
where you have only your pair of flip flops , for all occasions !
where you visit the zoo everyday,
where your definition of wild wild wet, is a little stream by the padi fields,
where you don't know just how many family members do those bugs have,
where you could kick a freaking hard sphere thinking its a football , barefooted !
where the idea of a cement mixer, means you mix it .... by hand !!
and when you have only 12 hours of electricity everyday.

just be thankful .......

I'm back !

2007-10-07T00:36:00.000+08:00

whooo .. its been 2 weeks .. hope you guys are all fine...

there were many beautiful memories back at cambodia, and i will further share all them with you people when i get all the pictures .. until then ...

erhm! dont get me wrong... not advertising for something related, but yet , not so related ... argh!

exams are over! and rotting everyday. guess and hope this wont last long, because im getting bored of it already.

the good thing is that, the exams are finally over! it had been an excruciating 2 weeks for me, using all my strength to pull my socks up, as high as i could. especially when im still carrying a swollen ankle. double torture.

guess afterall, i havent learnt my lesson from previous semesters- that is to put in effort constantly throughout. its again the last minute stuff. only until the week before, i know the difference between, rights issue and bonus issue, debentures, and non-redeemable preference shares. but, alls good, or at least for now, its off my mind.

never mugged so hard for an examination before, not even the 'o' levels, guess, its either im just the type that leaves everyting to the last minute, or its that im starting to take things seriously. the latter i hope, describes me.

its can only get tougher, and every semester is a hurdle, so . lets not be a laggard anymore! its time to get ahead!

then comes the holidays, ever since the start of it, let me tell you , i have never been out, only once to school , and another one more time, which is later, again to school. although i enjoy the times of not needing to study, i hate the time alone! its killllllling me !

i am always happy slacking, but on the other hand, it gets very boring, not sometimes, but everytime.

but i hope the coming weeks will be more eventful, filled with funtivities, where its getting closer to the cambodia trip, and more and more preparation will have to be done. its about 2 weeks to the bonding camp. and about 3 to the trip itself.

looking forward to the trip more than anything. never been to a place farther than thailand (is cambodia further?). anyway, and never been to somewhere away from home, for 2 weeks! whooo! free and easy.

by the way, changed the blog song to a happy one, take a listen, lightens my spirits, hope it does the same to you.

bye for now .......

Thank You !

2007-08-04T00:31:00.000+08:00

Hello, everyone, the purpose of this post is to extend my appreciation to all the help the people provided me with, during the duration of my injury , to the people who showed an ounce of concern. If you are one of them , please know that this post is dedicated to you, and even if you are not, please continue to read on so as to be informed about the fact that these people, are helpful , compassionate and caring beings, who are always there when you need them, and are all the more worthwhile of being friends with.

I really got to share this with every single one of you!

Friday, August 3rd. 27 days since my injury. 15th days since i last saw my left leg hair, wonder how are they down there.... and 10 days of going to school with crutches.

I have been active in school , attending it just like any normal student, not missing any lessons or anything, especially the care and concern of my fellow classmates, whom made my attendance in school possible , and whom i am very grateful towards during this period of my life.

I finally got my own taste of how a 'physically disabled' person experiences school life. Its not easy, and i really admire the determination to carry on with their lives, just like every one of us does. I can assure you, that deep in their hearts, they need help, hoping that you reach out a helping hand. And for sure, they will remember what kind of a kind soul you are giving them just a little help .. maybe just holding the door open for them.

So, next time, make sure that you reach out to them, spread the love , I assure you , they will thank you from deep inside their hearts, because i know they really needed it. (no matter how independent they appears to be)

Time after time, i feel real helpless, because i have only my hands and one leg to move around. sometimes, at bedtime, i was so desperate that i attempted to remove the cast like how i remove my shoes, but of course, i did not succeed as i know that, i could not prolong my 'casting period' any longer, if i was to go to cambodia. and i want to walk on two , but not three legs . and somehow i realise, i will need to pry open the entire cast in order to remove it (sly move by the hospital huh !? no wonder its so high up).i could say, i really feel helpless at times. my arms are always aching. my afternoon siestas will end with massive cramps in the arms. My 'good leg' is always tired, its as if i ran the 2.4km, hopping on one leg. no joke.

To those who are really concerned, i just couldnt bear to show my fatigue. im really tired of all the crutches walking. i hate it. i cant wait to get rid of it. so that i will be fine again , easing all your worries. and again . Thank You, if you think that your heart skipped a beat seeing me almost losing my balance.

To my classmates, they are indescribable. They are wonderful . and i really appreciate the times when they delay their lunchtimes, while accompanying me wait for my father to pick me up, the times when they walked me to the safety of my parents. I really appreciated that, because its really a 'to the doorstep' kind of thing. right to the sight of my parents, regardless of it being my father or mother. Thank You !

To those who sent their regards, even if you might not know my name, even if you have only seen me once, no matter how seldom i actually had time to stop by for a casual chat. i really appreciated those regards, as it really pushed me on knowing that i have a friend who recognises me , being curious about what actually happened, and it will always end with a heartfelt 'take care' or 'get well soon'. which i'll always take it literally, no matter how casual the phrases was blurted out of a person's mouth-that i've got to take care of myself, and get well soon. i really appreciate that, and again , Thank You.

To my parents. right from the day the accident happened, i could see that they are more worried than i am, and in many occasions, i told them to be rational enough to handle things as they are, the accident had already happened and nothing is going to reverse it, let alone their worries, which are the least required at this point of time. to no avail, they continued to worry, but now discreetly. I could see from their body language, i know that they are trying their best to hide it. I dont blame them , but deep inside, i understand that its only natural to see their flesh and bone in such a state. I really need to repay them in someway or another, but i dont know how. i know that thank you will never be enough, but Thank you !

To whom who had concerned,

Thank You ! and im alright now , give me some time before i start walking normally . just, give me some time .

My Leg II

2007-07-30T00:03:00.000+08:00

Alright .. i'll continue from here...

then at SGH . i got on a wheelchair .. and got around the A&E, go for x-ray and stuff ... then saw the doctor , she said . according to the x-ray , im fine. no serious fracture and stuff. just rest for a few days, i'll be fine and kicking again ! i was super glad .Until she instructed the nurse to inject me in my butt ! awwww !! its been some time since i've had an injection since the days when i dislocated my elbow, back in sec2. when the needle went in... i could tell you , it was more than an ant's bite. its piercing. could feel the needle's friction in my flesh . till i let off an audible argh ! that the nurse apologised.

you know . i diddnt blame anyone . but its just a 'phobia' i should say , that i developed back then . i wasnt afraid of injections at all before. but until recently , the last time i had plenty till i got scared of it. i remembered there was this plastic tube, size of a yakult straw, into the back of my hand. its an 'adaptor' to further inject some anesthesia (whoo! i got this right in the first attempt), while they fix my elbow back into position . then it was again, a cast , and then disaster striked, i developed chicken pox, after i was discharged after a one night stay in the hospital, and you know, there will be fever following , i had high fever, something close to 39 degrees celsius, i remembered, and i had to be sent to hospital again , for some vaccination and blood tests. 2 injections in a night. its real bad man. seriously, i pity myself for that.

but , where was i ...? ooh.. ya ,the nurse apologised and yes, i got wheeled out, and collected medication . i thought to myself, yes ! at last ! from that day onwards, i was limping .. wherever i walked to .

but days gone by , the swelling did not subside, but it got worst as i carried on with my daily activities, going to school , walking around , until it was covered with bruises all over. until it looks like a zombie's leg. i thought it was normal, and so , i planned to wait until i see a bone doctor (i forgot the word for it). until one day , the doc, called to bring my appointment forward. and then i went for it .

then the doc told me there was a very minor fracture, and if i do not cast it up, there will be repercussions when i grow old .

thats how i got it casted up ...

THE END

My Leg !

The following post contains violent and gory images, viewers' discretion is strongly advised. Children under 16 is advised to have parent's accompaniment upon reading the post. (NC-16)

Hello hello everybody! today , im gonna take this opportunity to inform and educate everyone of you about what actually happened to my leg. Hence, this press confrence is held. as you could see the state of it right now, with the bloody crutches (not literally ,of course) and a stupid looking cast. i am carrying a fractured leg. sounds serious ? not exactly, its actually a very minor fracture, quite invisible to the eyes of a normal person ... how i wished the doctor is a normal person (saves me from all these trouble).

Now, right to the beginning, 7th July 2007. It was the day of my event. 'chill out soccer night'. Turns out to be kinda successful . lots of my buddies turned up, to support the event. thats why i say , they really rocks the world. i owe them one. Thanks ! alright. now comes the main story, it was piacial (farhan, wang, kt, wilson, me) vs i dont know what (but one guy from that team directly caused the injury-yanting is his name btw).

kick off. wang shot from the halfway. got deflected off the wall onto another player of team i dont know what. with his face towards his own goal. unaware that i was behind. i went forward to tackle the ball. got it ! but the touch was too heavy . then i went forward to chase the loose ball. then comes yanting. coming forward, chasing hard just as i was. dashing towards the ball , i tried to gain control of it. but then came an idle leg, i collided into the guy, losing his balance, as much as i could remember, he stepped onto my ankle and i fell straight onto the ground, back first, skidded on my back for a few centimetres.

not sure whether my jersey was torn or what (i haven't checked). i was stunned. immobilized for awhile. then i knew something was wrong. i couldnt move my leg. it was all numbed up. i looked to check if it was broken or something. phew. it was not. but the left ankle was immediately swelled up. about 1-2 shoe sizes more. players start crowding around me. checking if i was still concious. some conversations with me.

unknown player 1 ," can or not? can get up?"

myself," wait . let me rest for a while more."

unknown player 2 ," i think you cannot play already la . get up to sit aside first." sympathatically.

myself," DUH ! like that how to play !?" im sorry ! i was rude. not in the right state of my mind.

kt," anderson ! cannot play right? go and be keeper." i tell you .. i felt like punching him --- if i only i could....

then shi bin came . and got me on my one leg. i hopped off the court to sit on a bench. the game went on . until the end of the game. which we lost, the rest of my team came to check me out. i waited for the other team to get out, and of course for yanting to come check to see if im alright. to no avail. he went back to his group. opposite the court. then i told jieyong to ask him over. i need a word with him. and so he came.

myself," eh , you know what happened just now or not ? you stepped on my leg you know ? look , its all swelled up. i might claim medical bills from you if it gets too heavy for me to handle you know ?"

yanting," yes. but you know, it was not unintentional (WHAT !, but i know he meant otherwise, was just nervous or something). you should know, its soccer. this kind of things will always happen. you know ? and i dont have cash in my wallet right now. "

myself," i know, but i also know that its not fair for me to bear my own fees, its not like i was doing a silly stun and i got the injury, its you who stepped on my foot ... not even 20 bucks ? (no he replied) then i told him, alright, nevermind, give me your contact number. i will get back to you ." and so he did. i dont know whether he gave the real one. cause when i called him to give him my own number, his phone wasnt with him at the point of time. but nevermind. if he really gave me a fake number, that goes to show his real character.

then soon after that. 9pm, the lights of the court goes off automatically. and so , everyone packed up and left. his friends came over to apologise. and i accepted , thought it was just a sprain and it would heal naturally over a few days. then i asked if my gang, wanted to go for supper. and so we went. gary came and thank god he did. drove us over in his 'wish'.

when we arrived, the guys told me to check whats wrong at the clinc. and we registered and went on to supper. kt was piggybacking me . as i was hopping all the way from the carpark across the road. it was still continuing to swell. i thought i need not inform my parents so as not to worry them. you know they always over react....

then we had supper, and went back to the clinic with kt and wilson. the tv was showing rhianna was on live earth. then came my turn. the doctor told me that the swell looks serious for a sprain. and so refered me to SGH. and now. i had no choice but to inform my parents, to drive me to the hospital. then they saw me into the vehicle and we went to SGH....

wow .. the post is long.. i'll continue in the next post ... to be continued

last day....

2007-06-26T00:00:00.000+08:00

wow .. its fast isnt it ... 2 weeks passed ... i thought i took the audit paper just yesterday ... nah ... yesterday was effectively the last day though .. got an extra day because i diddnt have to go for i&e meeting ...

holidays was fun ! whoo ... interviews aside ... envoys camp was real fun ... made lots of friends ... and learnt about how to have fun .. and have more fun !!

gotta post the funny pictures as soon as i get them ....

other than that ... its the start of a new term ... guys and gals .. please work hard ... and play hard ! cant wait to see you people again tomorrow .. dont be late !

all the best !

uninspired ....

2007-06-15T18:58:00.000+08:00

argh .... its so hard to search for that little drop of inspiration ...

on my free day at home ... i am trying very hard to come up with a post ... nah ... cant squeeze anything out of my mind ...

i turned to my dictionary ... seeking for help ... seeking for the touch of wisdom ... nope ...

listened to songs ... paying full attention to the lyrics ... nope ...

whats the most interesting thing that happened during the week?

tuesday onwards, i have been going back to school everyday... first it was the BA society interview ... which i think is absolutely for the superficials (lets hope none of them will be visiting my blog , somehow) ... trying to get you to say that you will commit to the society till you die !! seriously ... but how to ?

wednesday was the cage ... was fun ... right on form ... scored a few .. made a few ... but whats there to comment about ? won't be interesting at all ... for these things , one have to live it to experience it ... so , i'll spare you of the commentary ...

then thursday .. comes cambodia interview ... by both lecturers that have taught me in my class ... it was more of an understanding session rather than a formal interview , knowing that we actually know each other already ... was fun though ... i seriously hope that i will be accepted ...

i need time off and away ....

hustling bustling holidays ...

2007-06-10T18:03:00.000+08:00

since the start of my poly days ... i have always believed that holidays are for some serious slacking ... its literally time to wake up at 2pm , have my brunch , and sleep late at around 2 am ... 12 hour days ... sounds good huh ! systematic lifestyle ...

but , the current holidays i am having now is a very different one ... extremely i should say ... its full of interviews (not job) and a 3 day camp - to i dont know where ... STILL ...

i have been actively involved in school activities since the start of this semester ... filling up most of my free times ... a total different case from the 1st year ...

BA envoys .. i diddnt know theres so much to do to be an student ambassador of my school ... had to attend an interview ... which was already over ... got in successfully and now .. i had to prepare a photo portfolio , and a presentation based on my portfolio ... so much to do ... and by tuesday ... but the main thing is ... where do i get so many pictures to include in my slides ? where do i start with ? argh ! so lost ... and theres the camp ... looking forward to making new friends ...

BA society interview .. falling on tuesday as well ...

wednesday ... gotta meet up with piacial ... to kick some balls at the cage ... pay to play ... it better be fun !

ooh ya ! how could i forget .. Cambodia trip ... the interview falling on thursday ... william our FFA tutor contacted me ... and i freaked out ! common tests came right into my mind when he introduced himself over the phone ... i was thinking .. oops .. i must have done real badly that he had to call me in person to warn me ... but nope ! phew ... seriously .. he should have told rosa to call ... an independent party ... but , by the way .. it was about the cambodia trip ... telling me and my classmates raymond, toh and vera to attend the interview this thursday ...

busy it might seem to be ... making full use of my time ... no more rotting .. no more wasting my life away ... hopefully it will be fun .. and of course .. successful !

Good luck everyone , for the on coming interviews !

what a nice song .. i freaking love it ... especially the piano version i just found ... the one you are listening to now ... enjoy ...

havent been blogging for some time .. since i did some changes .. why not .. drop by, say hi to everyone ... in case you are thinking that i have stopped .. no ... i am just lacking some drops of inspirations from being able to compose something decent ...

ooh ... and take care of yourselves and your notes ... there are 2 more papers to go ... continue to work hard ...

until then , hello .. and goodbye ! be patient .. i'll be back ...

parents ...

2007-05-07T23:13:00.000+08:00

are the ones who brought you to the world ... but how many times do you thank them for that ? how many times do you even thank them for trivial matters like buying you lunch ? driving you to school ? providing you a shelter to live under ? paying for your clothes ? paying your school fees ? doing every single thing they could , within their capabilities ... all because of you ....

this may look trivial ... but look in the bigger picture ...

or rather .. think about this 1st before you might even cry out in guilt looking at the bigger picture ...

how often , or how much thought do you take to scream at them for doing things that you simply do not have the patience like - over concerning for you ? over asking ? buying something that you dont like to eat ? complaining about their body aches ? or accidentally switching your precious computer on , not knowing how to switch it back off ?

sometimes i wonder ... when am i going to stop doing these nasty things to my parents ... yes .. i am saying that i am guilty of doing all these things ... and i am not at all proud of that ...

so , i am urging every single one of you to take note of this ...

our parents are not young anymore ... we cant treat them like they are .. because, they are already ageing physically , not capable of the things that you do right now ... a seemingly simple and effortless task might cause them to break out in cold sweat ... i am not joking ... try taking them to a roller coaster ride .... they might not survive it ...

thats how physically weak they are ... and the things that they do for the family ... it seems like they've transformed into some superhuman ...

what is all of that for ? if you didd'nt know ... its you that they are slogging their lives away for ... to make sure that you lead a happier life than them ... to make sure that you have everything that your peers might have ...

and simply speaking ... making sure that you stay happy at all times ...

they've been in the workforce for more than half their lives ... scrimping on every cent they earn to provide for your material needs ... your gadgets ... your levi's ... your crumpler ... your education .... bank rolling you all the way into university, maybe even before you are born ...

why ? because they wont want you to be lagging behind your peers ... to make sure that you are the best kid at all times ....

parenthood .. is something that no one dare say is going to be an easy ride ... of course its not ...

its a life-long marathon of constant hardwork and committment ... not easy indeed ... but it often takes more than a minute of thought to recognise the fact that they are actually gods ... to me ... they are god-like ...

they gave me a life i have to cherish .. even in what seems to be the lowest point of my life ... i get back up for their sake ...

they brought me up into what i am ... i have never achieved much ... but they are always proud of who i actually am ... the young man that i have became ... thats the kind of priceless encouragement i will never ever forgo that spurs me on all the time ... every single time ...

in their opinion , you are always the best ....

they are the ones who are there for you at all times .... they are the ones who listens to your problems and truely goes all out to help you ... they are the ones that truely takes care of you without expecting much returns besides providing for them that they become weak and old one day ... its that simple ... its that pure ... its that beautiful ...

it has been particularly difficult to show them how much i actually love them ... verbally , it has never ever been easy to express it to them ... even when i am typing this post ... i am quite sure that they are not aware ... i am never a practional of thanking my parents ... even saying sorry is never verbal ... i am quite sure that i thank the drink store auntie more than i thank my parents ... thats how true ...

i am not telling everyone that we'll have to hug our parents and cry in acknowledgement to their upbringing ... but show a little appreciation ... you might have your own problems ... but they have their problems too ...

why is it that they can have the extra space in their hearts for you ... but you dont reserve a space in your hearts for them ? why are we always preoccupied with everything that we do in school , our friends , our relationships , but not putting all of that to a halt and listening out to - our ultimate life sources ?

why cant we understand them more? why cant we understand the hardships they have went through to bring us into what we are right now at this moment ?

the thing that i have been trying to say is that , the debt that we owe our parents is never ever repayable .... its so colossal that you wont even live to repay that ... let alone that they might not live long enough for you to repay them ... its a fact that everyone has to face in time to come ...

the bare minimum we could do now is to be obedient ... be safe ... be healthy ... and to take care of them ...

and of course, in years to come ... provide them a shelter to live in ... they'll be happy ... they'll live without regrets ... they'll be glad ....

theres about 20-30 years from now to change things ... to make them a happier person ... to make their lives fufilling ... to show that you care for them as much as they care for you... to return their care for you ... think of it ... 2-3 decades pass without leaving a trace ... so its time to do something ...

the clock is ticking ...

Depot Road ....

2007-03-30T22:24:00.000+08:00

Hello all ... i have just realized i havent been adding new posts for quite some time now ... and now , i shall add one , that will hopefully , bring back the readers ... my friends ....

today , i am gonna talk about my dear hometown ... to my buddies maybe ... my mountain ...

why is that so ? i am gonna bring you on a tour to my town .... Depot Road ...

I have been living in this area for 17 years now .... the whole of my life actually ... living in 2 seperate units , because of the en-bloc about 4 years ago ... i am now living in a newer flat ... much higher ... maybe a little smaller ... but i have my own room , which is the good thing ...

through out these 17 years of living here ... i never expected anyone to know much about this place ... indeed ... i am always correct ... its always : 'where do you live in ?'

then ill say : 'Depot road ... you know where ?' and it often takes explaination and i doubt people know where the exact place is until they've been there personally ....

i do not blame them .... the place is simply just too ulu ... its a passage , a long stretch of road ... linking telok blangah to queensway ... thats all ... thats all the things i have to say about this place .... nothing much ... ooh ! its landmark ... its actually CMPB ... which i always have to mention to taxi drivers ...

its a rather a religious place though ... it has an indian temple , chinese temple , taoist temple , and a church ... all within the stretch of the town ...

and if youve been to vivo city food republic ... theres this store ... depot road laksa ... i can tell you proudly ... it used to be a store downstairs my old block .... i nv liked it though ... never a fan of hot firey spicy food .... besides ... the auntie is always 'temperamental'...

ok ... ill go into the topography now ... my town ... it is located at the south of the main island , about 4 km off the coast towards sentosa ... is right at the hill side of the telok blangah hill park .... it is sort of a hilly area around there ... u might just fall off the hill ....

erm .. actually not ... it is hilly however ...

and about my town .... its a rather cold , yet busy town ... cold because my neighbours always has their doors shut , but ours is always open ... and busy because, theres a HP and SCI factory right opposite of my block .... not forgetting .. theres also an estate of warehouses ... both blue and white collars are a common sight at lunch time ... they just add life to this little town ...

after the en-bloc ... the town has been introduced to many new things ... one that is worth a mention is the depot road shopping center .... it has escalators ! and has a fairprice , and a seven-eleven ... a pool parlour ... a coffeeshop ... and a restaurant ...

everything is within reach after its introduction ... and in fact, i have thought to myself ... if one day , everyone is to be trapped within town ... somehow , well get to survive ... because , we have everything ... haha ...

i consider it a hip place ... for the retirees though ... its not vibrant ... not at all ... perhaps they should open a macdonalds .... i am sure i will patronise the place more ... for sure ...

By now , you would think that i actually dislike this place ... but in fact ... i feel that it is the 3rd most habitable place in my opinion ...

1st being sixth avenue ... because its posh ...

2nd being orchard road .... because its cool and hip ....

then Depot road ... reason being :

perhaps i am too used to this place ... but i feel that its un-hipness is being compromised by its serenity within ... in here .. you can be as close to nature as it is right behind your block .... and in fact , id choose a quite place to settle within rather than a hustling and bustling area ... where the roads are never going to give you a piece of peace ...

you get really comfy around here when you need it ... nights are always cooling, peaceful and silent ... perhaps thats why they call this a mountain ...

a place to heal your busy souls ....

dont i just love this place !

global warming ...

2007-03-23T00:27:00.000+08:00

recently , i came across watching this movie .. an inconvenient truth ... starring al-gore ... only al-gore ... haha ...

a little background info , in case you dont have an idea on who on earth is he ... he's a person , who challenged the better known george w bush for presidency after bill clinton stepped down ... ex-senator, dont know about now , but have been actively involved in environmental campaigns, especially on the global warming issue ...

the entire movie is set in a theatre , where al-gore is giving a presentation about global warming ... it may sound boring .. but i felt that it was meaningful and informs ... about what ? about every single of one of us contributing to the effects of global warming current day !

and only until after i watched the movie (documentry). i was aware about the devestating effects that have been done to the earth so far ... its only going to get worse if this carrys on ....

you see beautiful glaciers melting ... majestic waterfalls becoming narrower ... and giant ice shelves breaking apart ... all due to global warming ... all because of us ...

the earth's co2 concentration level have been recorded way above the chart ... try guessing how far behind the records have been ?

an amazing 650 thousand years !

and comparatively ... 10 hottest years on record have occured in the past 14 years .... 2005 being the hottest of all ....

this has caused devestating effects not only to the earth ... but also to us ... remember katrina? a massive hurricane that occured recently ? took lots of lives ... also due to global warming and drastic climate changes ...

personally , i dont think theres much we could do ... but i hope that we would at least try ...

electric plants and generators being the major contributor to green house gases .... therefore, we could try saving a little electricity per day so as to reduce the demand for producing more power ?

high spending , yet no income !!!

2007-03-21T16:16:00.000+08:00

please cut down on spendings ....

100 ...

2007-03-18T23:21:00.000+08:00

i realized its my 100th post ..... and i am gonna dedicate this to e-filing perhaps ... and all the people who came by .. thank you for letting us havs something to do ....

for the past 2 days ... i was involved in this e-filing volunteer thingy by iras ... the main purpose is to help taxpayers file their income taxes via the internet ...

the 1st day was kinda 'barren' .... 3 'customers' in total .... and i should say 2 of the cases is handled my our manager- shar .... interesting man ... eloquent i should say ... multi lingual ! cool ... he is a malay man ... speaks malay , mandrin and english ... and not a trace of being a jack of all trades .... cos he understands china chinese which i cant ... cool huh ... i really admire him ... very capable ... its a pleasure getting to know him ....

alright ... then comes the 2nd day ... even better ... 1 'customer' for the whole 1-6 pm .... but we were well prepared this time round ! brought lots of newspapers , magazines , and handphone games to keep us entertained for the whole 6 hours ....

still time passed slowly and we had to relieve our bore by commenting about people playing basketball .... even though we are not pros ... we just had to laugh at people ... haha ..

ooo ! how can we forgot the chocolate treat by yi hong !!! thanks by the way ! because raymond and me won in jawbreaker .... wahhaha !!

interesting ....

confusion ...

2007-03-14T15:22:00.000+08:00

today ... i woke up at 8am ... slept for only 5 hours i guess ... not very sure .... it was all because that today , is the big day for np ppl .... why ? its results day ....

the 1st thing in the morning ... i see raymond's message ... saying that he got his results already ... then i waited ... until 830 am ... the message is still not here ! then i decided ... alright ... since i am so keen ... i shall go online to give it a check ....

it is a deprovement ... i dont know whether to be happy or dissappointed ... happy because given the more play than work through out the whole semester, i did not fail any modules .... dissappointed .. because it is a deprovement of course ....

here are the results : BBBC+C+B ...... no As .... highest scores being B and lowest C+ ... must have an easy time calculating my GPA (2.8) huh .... not affected by extreme values .... argh ! bstats stuff ...

Alright ! after this experience ... its time for a fresh start .... value your education ... work harder the next time round ....

Happy holidays !

goodbye 274

2007-03-08T22:22:00.000+08:00

I hope no one thinks i am crazy for taking these pictures !!!

and its going away ... in 2 days time , bus service 274 will be terminated ... and another service 175 will replace , not exactly , but serve as a substitute to 274 ... its a the change for the better ... as it goes to TOWN !!! and clementi interchange ... wonder if i could take it to school .... and other places ... which is not important to mention ... but nevertheless, the service 274 will not be forgotten for me...

for the whole of my 17 years living in this ulu estate ... depot road ... the bus service 274 has been the bus that transport residents of the estate in and out ... to and from bmc the town central of my area ....

since then, theres this lousy , un-air conditioned , kampong, metal railings , noisy , shaky , and remember the seats ? its smooth pvc ... unlike today, at least theres some patterns on it ... yes... thats when 274 is there already !

and now ... theres aircon-ed 274 with tv mobile .... what a change ....

oo ! and remember the old bmc interchange ? theres this dark brick walls , with this old school clock hanging from the roof ... no escalators then ... and i think the current overhead bridge was not there then .... we had to cross the road ... which i think was better ... haha ...

and the uncles ! whooo ... i could remember their looks that everytime i am at the interchange waiting for the bus, i would look out for the drivers... when i see them walking on bus park , ooh ! i know 274 will be here soon ....

thats 17 years worth of memories and under such short notice ... its gone for the good .... i understand it though ... ever since 57 have been introduced ... it always 'steals customers' from 274 .... it always come before 274 and all the people will get on it 1st leaving no one for 274 (people who missed 57 not included) ... and now, often, you'll see empty 274s making its circle round the estate ...

now its going into the history book !!!

Thank You 274 !!!

slacking all the way ....

2007-03-07T18:02:00.000+08:00

what an irony ... i havent been updating since i dunnoe when ... but , thinking about the limited activities i have ... i still cant believe that i did not update my events ... pardon me for my nonsense ... it just came out of my mind while i was typing and this .... honestly ... i dont see the point of my statements ... haha ...

alright ... since the start of the holidays ... there has been few ... less ... little .... not alot of activities .... most of the time, spent at home ... if not , meeting up with our 'family' ..... having dinner and ending up playing the coin game at coffee bean ... the fact that we are so excited about the game , shows how deprived we are of nice activities ... so i say sentosa one day ! shall we ?

then, comes school ... been back to school twice ... for e-filing volunteer stuff and baoc ..... not that interesting though ....

ar ! how can i forget ... our chalet ... the 1st ever ta23 chalet ... kinda dissappointing though ... 7 people stayed over .... and less than 10 ? turned up for the whole thing ... please do not allow this to happen the next time round ... if theres another one ...

its kinda wasteful ... we might as well meet up somewhere and have a sumptious dinner how abt that ?

i should say .... i enjoyed the chalet , despite the attendance ... all made possible by the people who made the effort to attend ... we had fun no doubt .... but it could be better ! we cycled, gambled, bbqed , lan-ed .... took lots of pics in the park ...

lets meet up for dinner one day ! phua !! how about the crab plan ? have been talking about it but no news huh !

again, the weather is on and off ... toying with my feelings all the time !! today , i planned to go for a swim ... then the next hour , dark clouds loomed ... and until now ! it is not raining yet !!! eh !! if it rained right , i'd be less angry you know !! nature incurred my wrath !!! boom !!

signing off for now !! looking forward to a more eventful and exciting holidays !!! see you soon !

weather changes ...

2007-03-04T16:59:00.000+08:00

argh !!! one minute its raining another minute its not !

everytime when i plan to go swimming , when i step out of the house , it starts pouring like no bodys business ... then , when i do not plan to do anything , and stone at home , the weather becomes so sunny !!

so what is this about ???

happy holidays !!!

holidays ...

2007-02-22T00:07:00.000+08:00

havent done much since the holidays started .... not at all eventful ... but found time to meet up with good friends to wander the earth ... besides that ... it is basically late nights and late days ....

seriously i think ... my days are not filled with events enough ... most of the time, i spent the whole day lazing at home ... zzZzzzzZZ .....

haven went swimming , which i have been planning for like days ...

but before thats gonna happen , tonight... its Chelsea vs Porto .... gonna stay up late to watch it ... the match will start at about 2+3 ? and end about 5 + ... but i dont care ! afterall , this is what holidays are for right ? not worrying about tomorrows trying to enjoy every minute of it before its gonna be over very soon .... sooner than you have imagined !

so in the mean time , enjoy your holidays , your cnys , save ur ang pao $ for the rest of the year huh ! dont spend it like water ... it doesnt come easy !

goodbye fishy ...

2007-02-08T22:18:00.000+08:00

after more than a year, i bade goodbye to my dear pet ... a red fighting fish ...

it was my 16th birthday present ...

ever since it had joined me in my journey of life, i had always left it alone, even though i knew that they always liked to interact with people ... dumping food into its tank was my daily activity , ocassionally forgetting to do so ..cleaning the tank was a chore that i clean it once in a month ....

needless to say , i seldom spent time watching its progress, growth and health ...

and one day , i noticed that it stopped eating its food ... it does bite the food , but it spat it all out ... i wonder what disease have it contracted and my attention was drawn to it now ... but it all proved to be too late....

day after day ... it became skinnier, weaker , and its colours seem to be fading ...

up till yesterday , it became a 'vertical fish' ... its body was held vertically all the day , i guess gasping for air ... then , i lowered the water level , until it could comfortably breath ...

i knew that his time was up ... and i even planned his burial ...

today, when i left home, his condition never turned for the better ... still a 'vertical fish' ... while comming home , i was prepared for the worst ... i even looked for a burial spot while i was downstairs ....

and when i came up, guess what... he passed away ....

as i have expected ... so , i told my brother about my plans ... and together, we brought it downstairs to bury it ...

hope it could find his safe haven under the plant , and could rest in peace ...

from now on , i will take good care of my other fighting fish , and make sure that it will live on happily and get over his companion's departure (he seem to be gloomy at this moment) ...

cherish what you have now, because you'll never know when you will last see it ....

Mt. Faber

2007-02-03T21:50:00.000+08:00

wake up wake up !!!! its 7. am and i am already awake !! for what? to climb Mt. Faber by foot with edwin, mee chee and michelle ... never done that before ... i always go up with the convenience of my father's driving ...

i reached the 'rock' by 8+ ... kinda late ... forgot how late ... then began the climb... nothing much , only that i felt the steps were kinda steep and slanted that anyone who loses his balance will roll down like humpy dumpty ?

then reached the peak after like walking for 20 mins ... saw a guy practicing kung fu ... cool ! then, right at the top , saw lots of tourists and coaches of course ... i think they should ban those buses cos the fumes stinks !!! pollution alert !!!

then the tourists ... i wonder why are they up there so early in the morning !

after that, went downhill ... the rubbish truck came past ... almost fainted ... then saw a condom by the road ... wonder who the hell actually made out on the road !!!! yucks !!!

reached the bottom and went to harbourfront macs for breakfast ... after that, walked around vivo before procedding to my home , to watch apocalyptico ....

disturbing show ... nevertheless, interesting cos of the tribes ... and the sacrifices of course !!! remove the heart and chop the head off and throw the head down the steps .... eek !!! bloody ....

then, the lead actor ... ronaldhino ... look alike ... became jagua possessed and ran around the forest avoiding his enemies ...

amazingly did not bang into a tree !!! cool !

hair cut

2007-02-01T23:46:00.000+08:00

snip snip ... had hair cut today ...

went to school for bstats , which i felt was kinda redundant since i havent done any question on the past year paper .... then , went to tiong for a haircut ...

when i was sitting there letting the 'hairwasher' molest my head for like 20 mins, i was wondering if they washes their hair like they do for us .... if they do , they must have numb hands whenever they leave the shower. ...

after the wash , my head feels super warm ... blood circulation i guess. ... and i left the place with super short hair ... like 1/4 left ...

then , went to challenger to walk around ... looking at all the gadgets i wished to own ... $$$$ .... never expected such coincidence ! my brother is at the shop too ... then we went around the super hip shopping center tiong baruh plaza until we saw the xbox 360 outside comics connection ... then we challenged on top spin , where sharapova meets federal ....

i controlled sharapova and i owned federal in 2 games !!! whooo ... pro-ness ...

then , we proceded to bmc library ... browsing at comics and played with some science center exhibition thingy ... and lastly , headed home ...

cant wait for CNY to arrive ... gonna have lots of fun , especially after exams !!!

in the mean time, study hard , and 'enjoy' the study break !!!!!!

windy windy ....

2007-01-30T21:01:00.000+08:00

yes ! all lessons are over ! at least most of them are .... as usual , still having lots of fun ... going out with friends, watching and playing soccer like no body's business ... but hello !!! EXAMS IS 2 WEEKS AWAY !!!

alright ... felt the urgency, spent most of my week nights studying my FFA .... hope it went into my brains ... not too sure yet ...

tomorrow, is a holiday ! wednesdays have always been a good day , for the whole of my 1st year in poly ... cos its IS day , and after all is done, = NO school !!!

have already planned my itinerary for the whole day ! its gonna be studying for the entire morning (if i could wake up before 12pm ) , if not , study from whatever the time i wake up ( i promise)...

no 'the office', no msn !!!(music only perhaps) then , at night, or dinner time, i guess it'll be dinner and then gotta watch the champions of ASEAN- Singapore take on Thailand at the National stadium ...

i forsee its gonna be a long and tiring day ... so , brace yourselves, have a good rest tonight, and get prepared fot the challenges ahead !!!

Have a nice day !!!

shrooms ...

2007-01-20T17:44:00.000+08:00

mushrooms gives me the creeps ... i dont know why ... but you know, when i see those white mushrooms that sprouts nowhere out from the grass just after rainy days.. eew .... gross ... i am actually afraid to go near them ...

i am still puzzled on why on earth is mushrooms such scary organisms. they arent plants , not flowers , needless to say , not fruits ... they are aliens !!!

i used to like mushrooms, those button mushrooms ... i can eat the entire can of those when i was like 6 years old ?? until then, i dont even try to touch them ... i wonder why ....

those dried ones are worse ... the 'scent' of it just makes me feel like fainting ...

the only mushrooms i eat is the straw mushrooms... because it doesnt taste, or smell like their own kind..

rainy rainy rainy rainy rainy day !

2007-01-18T18:19:00.000+08:00

today , it is a rather lazy day for me, went to school at 9am, which i still dont understand why did i go for ...

after bstats lecture, went to library to do my e-portfolio, which was chicken feet ... and went walking around the school to look at the open house stuff ...

interesting !!! theres talented people all around np ! great singers, dancers ! whoo .. hot !!

then was the magnum force and lang sai from bird's eye view !

then started packing up and go home at 3pm .... then , rain starts to pour like a waterfall !!! i was stuck at the bus stop for some time like 1 1/2 hour before the rain got less heavy and i dashed home !!! argh ....

ugly behaviour on public transport....

2007-01-16T23:23:00.000+08:00

Helllllllloooooo to all !!! i hope i have been missed... haven updated the blog for a long long time ...

today, i am going to post on a topic i have always wanted to mention but somehow, i didnt.... somehow...

all of us have been on these public transports and very often, we are irritated by these commuters who are also on the transport ... are you ? at least for me, i am !!!

let me list down the many things i am irritated by:

not giving up seats to people who needs it more (Buses/MRT)
not sharing the seats. (seating on the outer seat, leaving the inner one for the spirits) (Buses)
not moving to the rear (buses)
rushing into the train before pasengers alight (mrt)
talking loudly like nobody's business (MRT/ Buses)
listening to music with the loudspeaker (buses)
listening to techno (buses)
stepping on people's legs without apologizing (MRT)

i feel that people who do not give up their seats for the people who needs it more is the ugliest of all, i am disgusted. imagine if a foreigner also on the train sees that. what will they think of singaporeans.

but i would give credits that at least, the majority will offer their seats. however, i expect everyone, not only the majority !!!

i feel that more often, people do not share their seat, even when the bus is packed with people. what is the meaning of this? they pay for 2person's worth of bus fare? what makes them think that they could occupy 2 seats with one butt of theirs ? it is a stupid behaviour i should say and i hate those people- selfish idiots !

then it comes to not moving to the rear... it is very often seen when his/her friend found a seat at the front portion of the bus and they seem so inseparable that they will have to stick to each other with one standing and one seating. causing the front portion to be so crowded and the back to be empty with plenty of standing space.

rushing to the train before passengers alight !!! what are they rushing for? so afraid that the metal doors will clamp them to death? please ! allow the passengers to alight first ! you will get more than enough time to board the train... and please make way for people to exit !!!

very often, i will not dodge and avoid banging into these people ... want to bang ? see whos stronger !

ah ! talking and laughing loudly ! please be more discreet in your conversations! people do not want to know what your mother ate for breakfast! and, please keep your jokes to yourselves, let alone lame jokes! it is the most irritating when you just had a long day and while travelling a long journey home, trying to catch a nap ... who cares about what you did ? give me a break !

besides... listening to music on the loudspeaker is as irritating !!! not everyone likes your music.. and we all know that all music that comes out from the loudspeaker turns into noise !! PLUS !! the sounds of the bus !! you will explode !!! i will have nothing to say if u are using boss speakers with dolby surround ... if not, keep the music to yourself !!

let alone listening to techno !!! what the hell !! it is already the most irritating music in the world ! please ! do not share it with innocent souls on the bus !!! want to dance? go to discos !! stop torturing us !!

lastly! after staying over at phua;s house ! while taking the train home, i was so sleepy that i could sleep standing ! i was standing at the space right beside the door and all of the sudden, i felt an elephant stomping on my right foot! i was awaken and i stared at the culprit expecting an apology !! but guess what... she hurriedly walked away... what the hell ...

so, after looking at these behaviours, do you feel irritated as well? and if you are a culprit of any of these behaviours, PLEASE, do not commit these again !

4 days ......

2006-12-29T01:41:00.000+08:00

ooh my god ... i haven steped out of my house for 4 days straight ... and im moulding ...

no la ... but i guess, soon enough ...

everyone have been so difficult to reach to since after christmas day !!!!

plus, the rain is free flowing ... no option to go out for sports... who knows the moment you step out of ur house, rain starts pouring down ... argh !!

haven been writing in for lots of days too ... so, i guess, i am gonna write in everytime i feel bored now ...

have a good time .... happy holidays !!

2006-12-25T23:29:00.000+08:00

2006-12-22T00:27:00.000+08:00

its the holiday period .... as usual ... living life like i have forever ... BUT ... did something meaningful though ... that is to clean up my house ... i used the magic clean stick and wet tissue thingy and kinda mopped the floor ... lol ..

the stick is so weak that i felt that it was gonna break anytime ... but still , it survived today ... afterthat, went down to vivo city , meeting kt, wils and edwin for dinner ...

then , came home to watch prison break ...

tomorrow is gonna be quite meaningful ... gonna cook tang yuan myself ... cos no one except myself is so free to do that... then after that meeting up with ta23 to exchange presents ... lol ...

enjoy and have a good week ahead ...

lost 2

2006-12-17T20:23:00.000+08:00

haha ... the person who found my wallet was acutally a canteen auntie i guess ... then didnt probe much for who actually she was....

it is exams again ... didnt felt so freaked out in poly before .... i was so afraid that i will have a blank mind in the hall everytime i step into it ... but ok ... its over ... lets await the results ... hope i have done well ...

and now, its the long awaited holidays !!! gonna celebrate both christmas and new year during this 2 weeks before school reopens ...

happy holidays !!!

lost ....

2006-12-08T00:43:00.000+08:00

this week can be considered a very eventful one ... especially from mid week onwards .... let me share this with you ....

it was wednesday ... i went for s&w make up ... 8 am early in the morning ... kao ... i was half dead after the second session which ended at 5 pm ... then , raymond and i went to our hangout ... the pool side cafe to have a drink before heading home ... then , after that we went for a change at the np orchard rd .. after changing, i suggested getting a drink at co op ... that was when i realsed something is very wrong ...

wheres my wallet ?? then the 1st thing that came to my mind was ... argh ! i must have left it at the cafe ... i must have happily finished my milo beng and walked away with my wallet still on the table !!! then , raymond and i went back to search ... it wasnt there anymore, then, went to the swimming pool security, to ask if there is any chance that the person returned it there ... NO ... then went to the atrium office .. i dunnoe what is it called... but again, NO ... then , the office told me to call the Student Service Office. which i did the subsequent morning ... again, no news ... and i left my contact details in any case a kind soul would return the wallet to me ... at this point of time, i was already prepared for the worst ...

then, at around 2pm, the office did call me ... i was so excited ... but the person told me he only managed to retrieve the student's card ... which was something not very important anyway ... but still, i remained grateful ... his name is alan (the office staff)... now, i am literally left with no hope ... who would actually take the card out of my wallet if his intention was clean ?

then, we left the school for k box ... it was pei ching's birthday ... then , at around 5 pm, the office staff called me again ... this time, he told me that my wallet has been found !!! all the cards are intact except, only $10 is left inside ... but who cares about the cash ... what's more improtant now is the cards and all the trouble saved to make a new ic ...

i am really thankful to the person who kindly handed over the wallet to the office... except, i will now have to replace my atm and ez link which i terminated before 5pm that faithful day ... but, getting the wallet back is something i am not having any hopes already , and someone actually returned it to me ... i am really thankful !!!

gonna find out more about the whole incident tomorrow when i go and collect my wallet ... and will update on the details in the season 2 of lost ... to be continued.....

argh ...

2006-12-05T00:41:00.000+08:00

Common test week is creeping 'suprisingly' close day by day ... but, not only i have not started studying... i am kinda playing even harder... arrr ...

kinda sensing the urgency now but just cant get the motivation to start studying ... gotta start studying from this week onwards ... 2 more days of holidays and really gotta start mugging already ....

foosball ah beng challenge...

2006-11-30T21:26:00.000+08:00

lol .. today, played foosball with the legendary ang kong ah bengs ... lol ... they are so cool ... their reflexes are so quick and shots are so technical ... wow ... and mr ang kong ... has ang kongs on half his body !!! kao ...

teamed with phua and lost la ... perhaps it was the ang kong aura... but ok la ... they are nice people ... not cocky at all ... had fun playing with them ...

omg ... foosball...

2006-11-29T19:34:00.000+08:00

omg ... haven been writing in for about 2 weeks now ... hows everyone been ? late last week, caught up with my ex classmates for a sumptuous dinner at pepper lunch, then went to chill at coffee bean ... had a good time chatting and enjoying orchard road with christmas round the corner ...

then, now a days, foosball had became part of my or rather my class' lives ... we seek every opportunity to play the game ... we are even so enthusiastic that we are in the process to propose on the setting up a foosball cca... so np ppl , remember to get the petition form from me to help in the setting up ...

even when the common test is also round the corner... gotta be less slack and study hard from now ... no more skipping lectures !!!

i hate the feeling of being so unprepared for the coming common tests ... it just freaks me out but whatever is done is done ... we cant turn back time.. and now, its time to do some catching up .. so, no more slacking man ... its serious time ... gonna dig out all my notes and read them ...

christmas wishes : to clear all my tests with flying colours !!! (dont mind presents too ,though...)

-_-

2006-11-21T00:48:00.000+08:00

awww ... have nothing interesting to share... but for today's ocom presentation, everything went quite well ... gonna post the pictures online when i recieve them ... signing off from here , have a good week ...

Uh oh ...

2006-11-15T22:04:00.000+08:00

Uh oh ... haven been writing in for days !!! so ,

on monday, had ocom presentation !!! knn !!! kena tekaned by the teacher until siao ... she even made simple mistakes herself and tries to knn correct us ... guess what she told us !!! when asking a question , its do you knows , not do you know !!! ooh my gosh .... buay tahan .. but what to do ... ocom teacher lea ...

then tuesday , was a v fun day ... got lots of work done and played dota with my classmates ... i also finished my cip assignment one ... which was a great achievement ... 850+ words for my part ... its been some time since the f&n days that i typed sooo many many words ... lol ...

then for dota !! yea !! finally climbed up the table to 3rd overall !!! yea !!! had a double kill !! but i know la , because ben and phua kena stupid heros that they dunnoe how to use ... but everytime i kena owned , i also am using heros that i dunnoe how to use what ! its just because i dunnoe how to use many heros, that made me get owned almost on every ocassion ... love sniper ... feels so good to be at the top ...

but eventually , my team lost the game and tempraments started to show... not on me of course , cos i wasnt playing badly at all ... but who cares ... its just a game ... everyone have to take things in their stride especially in unimportant issues ... its definately not worth it ... so guys, take it easy ... its only dota ...

then today ... went snw ... knn , rained at the wrong time !!! it rained when i am having cats .. HEAVILY !!! but during snw, it stopped completely ... thats the worst sceneraio ... having to play in wet ground... eek ... nvm , its over already ... hope it rains at the right time next week ...

enjoying every moment of doing work ... such a strong sense of satisfaction when completing work !!! yea !!!

another tip of concentrating on work while using your computer ... that is not to plug in your mouse !!! i think it really works for me !!! no mouse means no dota ... and using the touchpad is such a hassel that you do not feel like wandering off into the cyber world ... consider that ...

wh0000 !!!

2006-11-12T01:18:00.000+08:00

yes ar !!! chelsea just beaten watford 4-0 !!!! super pair drogba and shevchenko up front produced a free flow attacking game which resulted in a drogba hat trick and super sheva goal !!! whooo ... the goals from them was beautiful !!!

sheva assisted drogba in 2 of his goals and drogba assisting in one of sheva's goal ... this is sweeeet !!! looking at this form of pairing up , you will wonder just how many goals this pair is gonna sink into their opponent's goals for the rest of the season !!!

Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea !!!

ooh my gosh !!!

2006-11-08T21:52:00.000+08:00

oops ... haven been writing in for days .... but cant be helped ... theres nothing interesting and funny to share when everyday is school day ... cant be compared to when it was still in the holidays ...

tomorrow , theres a ffa lecture ... not sure whether am i gonna go or not ... hope so .... haven went to the lecture since week 2 ...

also, today, theres s&w .... played lots of volleyball ... had some fun ...

everyday , i am playing one game of dota, sort of practice session ... if only it applies to my studies as well .... ok ... one more week of holidays ... im gonna mugggggggg till i drop ....

i love schooling, it makes your life more purposeful ....

by the way, i am already setting myself a long term goal ... that is to obtain my driving licence straight when i turn 18 .... its less than one year from now ... not gonna be too long ...

mmm ... looks like theres nothing else interesting in particular ... let me extend my post a little ...

people ask , why am i a supporter of chelsea ... they are champions because they spend lots of money , getting good players and so they win... they win with finances ...

let me explain ... i was a chelsea supporter since i was like 8 years old ... does chelsea have all the finances then ? no ... they were a average team in a premiership then ... it was when we used to have this kinda role play thingy when playing soccer in primary school ... i was asked to be the captain for chelsea ... it was dennis wise then ... those were the days of man utd dominating ... winning the treble ...

then , why do i still like chelsea till now ... look at every premiership team today .. who is the richest? chelsea ... who has the most united and bonded lads ? chelsea ... despite being the richest, every team member are millionaires, they stay united, fight their socks off for every single point in the league , in serious contention to win every piece of silverware ... why dont they just play their normal game and just get paid their millions every year?

because they want to win , because they are soliders in battle , because they want to be worthy winners , because they want their fans to be proud to be with them .... i am proud, always ...

but , chelsea is being viewed as the enemy of football ... i hate to hear when people say that chelsea play dirty to win , they win with their money ... since when you see john terry sent off when he derserved it ?? since when do you buy a victory? when was it against the law to be rich and take over a premiership club ??

everyone just has their glorious days and days overcasted by shadows ... chelsea is one example of their turn of lucks .... why cant people of the premiership accept that and watch chelsea just like any club in the universe ? when they win something, a match, a cup - anything , acknowledge them as worthy winners. because they really are .... and they really work hard to achieve ...

always blue ....

!!! Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea !!!

2006-11-01T22:11:00.000+08:00

yesterday, witnessed a heart pumping adrenaline rushing clash of the titans at the camp nou ... where the visitors from london Chelsea take on the catalans Barcelona ...

match started at 3 45 am ... causing me to oversleep today and by the time raymond calls me,and i woke up, it was already 3pm ... so, a self declared holiday in celebrations for the great Chelsea result ... a draw is all that is worthy for a celebration !! a great match ... full of tactics and beautiful goals ... but, not perfectly beautiful when the shoving and diving comes into the picture ...

Great goals from 4 great footballers of today is just too entertaining to handle ... deco's powerful low drive into the net, lampard's curler from the tightest angle , gudjohnsen's powerful tap into the goal, and a calm and composed finish by the current top scorer from europe- Drogba ...

this is beautiful football ... this is the match of the season... this is goals galore ...

when Drogba scores in the dying moments of the match, i could not help but screamed GOAL !!!

what a beautiful finish , what a classic striker's golden touch ...

also, to those who played part of the goals of both gudjohnsen and drogba ... ronaldhino and terry ... whooo ... the assists were almost as sweet as the goals are !!! both touches of magic , when ronaldhino sents out a low powerful cross to gudjohnsen who finished with a powerful slam into the net,,, terry , who headed down a cross from essien to drogba , who controlled the ball with his chest and taps the goal in ... whoooo ... sweet ....

can't wait to review those goals in the ucl magazine show !!! and until then, as a Chelsea fan ,,, i salute the team who fought bravely !! and to barcelona , thanks for making the match a great one !!

we are top of the group !!!

Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea !!!

outing ??? stoning ???

2006-10-14T23:36:00.000+08:00

ok ... today went east coast park ... woke up at 930am, then met edwin and wilson at bukit merah ... then setted off for a about 1 hour ride to parkway parade ... on our way there, saw wei jian ...

then , when we reach there, not actually all the people have reached ... and they were supposed to meet us in the park at a later time .. then , ok ... we went to the park, found a spot and settled down ...

the gals went to rent bicycles and the guys decided to hold fort and stay at the shed ... we spent almost half the time at the park sitting at the shed... then go to the arcarde, bowling alley and macs where theres air con and sat down ... we were basically stoning for the entire time ... lol ...

then , we went to parkway to play pool ... the most meaningful part of the outing , where edwin's ball hitted joey's kuku ...

after that , went to bugis for steamboat ... tried the ma la soup base , where the spicyness was still bearable ... had lots of watermelon...

then , in the end, ended our gathering by sitting at the lan shop at bugis junction for half and hour or so ...

suddenly felt so sleepy that i fell asleep on bus 61 ... when i woke up, it was already queensway ... luckily i managed to get up on time, if not , after one more stop, i will have no direct bus home !!! phew ...

thats all for today !!!

accounting...

2006-10-14T00:26:00.000+08:00

haha ... today , went to kw's hse to mj showdown ... now, let me analyse todays results and togther, lets have a little simple accounting lesson ...

accounting is basically done in 2 steps (2 steps that we care about the most, there should actually be more...)... alright ... the 2 steps are

1.P&L (profit and loss statement)
2.Balance sheet ( where you will know whether you are correct or not)

firstly the p&l .... revenue 1st then expenses ...

Anderson Koh

Profit and loss statement

for the day ended 13th october 2006

Revenues:

MJ Revenues- $ 123

Total revenues- $123

Expenses:

Mac Donalds meal - $7

MJ Expenses - $50

Taxi fare- $7

Total expenses - $64

Net Profit -$59

Now comes the balance sheet ... list down in order 1) Current assets , 2) Fixed assets, 3) Current lialibilities , 4) Long term lialibilities, 5) Capital ...

Anderson Koh

Balance sheet

as at 14th october 2006

Assets :

Cash at hand -$60

Debtors- $63

Total assets - $123

Lialibilities

Creditors - $0

Total lialibilities - $0

So, this is accounting .... Get it ?

Disclaimer: This is just the rough outline of the accounting process ... some steps are skipped for personal convenience ... haha !!

dear mother nature ....

2006-10-12T18:35:00.000+08:00

today, stayed at home for the entire day (again) ... bored stiff ... as usual , combed almost every word on the newspaper ... found a piece of somewhat devastating news which says 'Year of disasters' ...

for the first 8 months this year , 267 incidents of natural disasters had occured victimising up to 91 million lives !!!

this amount is higher than the average over the past decade amounting to 236 ... among the 267 incidents, 168 were floods- 80% higher than average of 93 over the past 10 years ...

reported reasons for these devestation being that the climate of the world is changing , more people live near beaches and earth-quake prone regions where a tsunami will hit ...

also, Mr dont know who, claimed that richer countries are giving less than 0.2% of what they are capable to reach out for the poorer countries !

so, sometimes, when people come up to you for donations, please do not hesitate to stop for a second or two to drop in some coins ... amounts does not matter, as long as you tried to help !!!

!!! World Peace !!!

bruncer

2006-10-11T23:57:00.000+08:00

today, woke up at 515 pm !!! whooo ... slept till i fell i was at least 5 years younger...

then waited for my mum to come back from work to eat my first meal of the day , which was dinner time already ... haha ... actually, it should be called breakfast, because, it is the first meal of the day after sleep (fasting) ...

then , got stucked onto the tv ... watching shows like 100% entertainment and 360 (a cna prog)... it discusses about the nuclear issue currently the hottest topic in the region of east asia ... hope there will not be any millitary measures taken, if not ... the whole east asian region will be brought into battle ... lets just hope for the best !!

then until now , already spent 3 hours reading the newspaper ... ok read on !!!

world trade center

2006-10-11T01:36:00.000+08:00

today, woke up at 4pm ... then had a regular day until kw called and eventually went to vivo city to catch a movie ...

we watched world trade center ... i feel that it was a very nice movie depicting two of the policemen who were trapped inside the building when it collasped ...

it is a movie showing the importance of determination despite the worst of conditions you might be facing ... there were lots of touching parts which is really meaningful showing the emotions when your loved ones are trapped inside ...

another thing i had to mention and i am very ashamed by was when a teenager (after the show ended) in the toilet, said out loud,' wa ! those two guys must have money flowing into their pockets... like that i also want to be trapped inside... can stay inside and read comics ... (in mandrin) ...

i feel that what he said was extremely insensitive ... if you think that you are going to survive the debris falling on you, the thick dust , suit yourself ! but please do not think that what actually happened was fun ... thousands died for nothing ! they were supposed to still be living !

please respect both the policemen ... they did not go in thinking that it was going to be fun ! they dont get paid extra for going into the building trying to save their fellow people either!

only 20 people survived the topple ... it is a sad thing to know...

dentist !!!

2006-10-09T13:50:00.000+08:00

today ... woke up at 745 am , when my dental appointment is at 8am ... went there late, and so, had my turn skipped a few patients and eventually got the check at around 9am ... kan pissed !!! cos yesterday i slept less than 3 hours !!! dont know what happened to me , fell asleep as soon as i lied down but after half an hour or so, got awaked and from then on, cant sleep until 630 am ... wa .. i am super sleepy now ...

ok .. back to dentist ... i came to realise that everytime i go to the dentist, i will tell lies ... haha .. white lies i suppose to my point of view to prevent myself of being scolded ... today , my first lie was :

Dentist:' What happened? your appointment is at 8am right?'
Me:' Ya , i know, woke up late and by the time i came here its already late.'

not considered a lie, but contents , a little twisted ... in fact, i dont even feel like coming to see you !!! u think very not pain is it ?

then the second lie...

Dentist:' do you still wear your retainers ?'
Me:' Yes !!!'
Dentist:' how often ?'
Me' EVERYDAY'

in fact , for the past six months, i think the total time i have worn those painful stuff is less than 2 months , or even 1 month , not too sure ... luckily my teeth did not shift or something , if not, have to make new retainers for $90+ ... kena once! pay until my heart pain ...

then the doctor pulled out my retainers with force and pushed it back !!! gentler mah !!! then after that, tell me to take it out again !! wa !!! then when i took it out, got little bloodstain on the freakin retainer !!!

another thing is that suddenly all the people in the ndc become super attitude !!! as if i owe them money ... i paid full everytime alright ? you think coming here is cheap stuff ar ?? the receptionist told me when i was registering :

Receptionist:' Wait for your turn , your appointment time is over !'

What else can i say , i was late, but at least speak in a friendlier manner alright ? what is this supposed to mean ? if you were slightly more polite, i would have waited happily , but with this kinda attitude, i am dissatisfied ... hope things change for the better at the next visit ... 6 months from now ...

2006-10-09T13:11:00.000+08:00

bicycle gang ...

2006-10-05T06:25:00.000+08:00

whoo ... just returned from the cycling trip ... i tell you ... its torturing !!! but let me tell you slowly what happened to us ...

ok ... we set off from my place .. and went to west coast park ... the journey was long but yet , quite peaceful ... nothing in particular happened except when we were trying to take a picture outside the mas building , the guards disallowed us to take pictures .... ok .. nevermind ... then , we reached west coast park ... took awhile to take pictures ... haha .. take a look ...

because the camera was placed on a slanted surface (behind my bike).. we had to slant ourselves so the picture will look straight .. but in the end ... it looks even more slanted.... another one (left) haha ... dan fei bi jaio hong ... kinda lame ... but quite enjoyable taking the pictures ... we even stopped snapping and tried to pretend nothing happened when someone jogged pass us ... haha ... the person must be thinking that we are crazy ...

then comes the exciting part ... we got onto the spider wed thingy ... super high ... and we took these pictures on top ... haha ...

ok ... had enough of the climbing like monkeys ... then got to get a rest at the macdonalds for awhile and further plan our journey ... then , we thought of going geylang ... all agreed .. but first , we are supposed to cycle to orchard road then , to geylang ... then, we began our journey from west coast macdonalds to orchard road ...

i dont know what made us go in another way ... in another minute, we were in nus ... a place full of scary up-slopes and confusing turns ... then , ok ... had a very tiring journey within the campus ... knees felt like a lemonade squeezing machine ... awww .... took this picture in a secluded corner in the campus ... had to climb a about 50m slope before reaching it and it turned out to be a DEAD END !!! then snapped a few pictures and then went back .. this time down slope ... the bike went sooo fast , when i pressed the brakes, the whole bike skided ... luckily due to my superhuman capabilities , i did not fall ... phew !!!

then , we manovered within the campus and got out through bona vista ... whooo ... main roads at last ... we cycled pass holland road and commonwealth and eventually reached margret drive ... where the queens live ... first, it was queensway sec , then queenstown pri and finally QUEENSTOWN SEC !! old school !!!

then turned in towards the old republic poly .. up hill (again) ... then , our legs were sooo tired , we got down and rested by the road just opposite the embassy of brunei ... ok , rested for about 15mins and went on ...

ok this time, i told kw , 'eh , we change bikes!' cos i thought his bros bike was vv stylo.then, we agreed and went on cycling... we were fine for some distance and until after tanglin mall ... kw told me, ' eh, your bikes pedal like abit shaky lea!'

then i said ,'ok, at the next pit stop we stop to tighten the nut..' but before we could even reach the pit stop, the whole pedal fell out !!!

the nut, i dont know where it is hiding at ... and guess what makes it worst !! right behind us was a vaccum cleaner vehicle ... kao ... not sure if it sucked the nut up but a search party comprising of kt, wils and edwin was formed to comb the possibe areas where the nut might be dropped at ...

they came back with a nut !! yes ar !! but it wasnt the nut belonging to the bike ... and it just couldnt fit ... we tried removing the nuts from other parts of the bike to fit the more important pedal... but it just wouldnt fit ... kao !!!

then , ok la ... boh pian ... i cycle with one pedal loose lor ... ok ... then we decided to go within our area so that in case the bicycle couldnt function anymore, we are near our places ... and because we were hungry by then , we cycled to great world ... where tang shui is ... before that, we snapped some pictures at outside taka ... quite dark ... can see ???

then , cycled to great world ... had our heavy supper and kw cycled home leaving the 4 of us ... then at tiong baru , kt cycled home too ... then its left with me , wils and edwin ...

edwin wanted to get his bag before heading home came to my place .. wils also wanted to return my bike cos he didnt have a place to park he bike at home ... both of them went to my place before heading to their homes ... it was already 530am ... whoo .. early in the morning ...

went to bathe straight after seeing both of them go down the lift .. and started blogging while waiting for my hair to dry ...

ok ... we cycled sooo far .. god knows how far ... then went on to cycle on one pedal ... then got super duper scratches on my phone cos i left the spanner and the wrench together with the unprotected phone in the bag ...

aw.. heart pain ... so, do you think it was fun ? ok la , for the buddies , it was definately very fun ... but if only lesser accidents happened ...

ok ... seems like its time to get a new phone, a new bike ... and a good morning's sleep !! good morning !! ZZzzZZzZzz ...

then, after extensive research on wikipedia, i found out that that was actually their first movie filmed in the 1960s called 'a hard days night' ... wow ... old school !! but i enjoyed their movie ... depicting their fan base and their celebrity lifestyle ... i even read up on them and found out that wow !! they are the real superstars ... selling over 1 Billion albums in their performing careers ... whoo ... it seemed like an unbreakable record in today's show biz ...

2006-10-01T23:18:00.000+08:00

in the morning, i went swimming ... swam only 22 laps then felt very sleepy , so stopped ...

then, went back home ... then instantaneously lied on my bed and blackouted ... until 6pm, my father woke me up and told me to eat what is supposed to be my breakfast ... took a bath and got prepared for the birthday bash ...

then , when eveyone was ready , we set off at 7.40pm , where the actual meeting time was 7.30pm ... haha ..

reached there, at the small coffee shop with aircon (luckily) , we joined our family memnbers which filled 3 tables ... then , had lots of good stuff ... prawns, crab , fish , fish maw thingy ... ok lor ...

then after that , birthday cake time ... sang birthday song along with some stranger japanese !! haha .. very friendly people , even came forward to wish my grandmother happy birthday ... it was a BIG party ... the whole coffee shop sang along ... sweet ...

then , had birthday cake ... mango cake ... very nice ... and of course ... played with the babies and kids ... whooo ... needless to say, the babies were sooooo adorable !!!

the kids ... as usual, full of nonsense ... played a game called pregnancy with them ... kao .. what a stupid name ... but the rules were quite interesting and complex ... but only if it wasnt called pregnancy , it would have been more fun ... made lots of noise over the silly game ... not me of course... you know kids ....

then got home and effectively began my stoning for the next two days until wednesday ... hope it is not gonna be that bad ....

STONAGE !!!

Eden i guess ... gonna clarify it soon ... he is sooooo adorable ... i know he likes me ... haha ... keeps looking out for me to play with him ... and i did ! so , he loves me even more ! whahaha ...

then, i felt that its better to keep a distance from them , played with my little cousin , primary 1 i guess ... not so sure ... yi jian ... we played the newest pokemon toy in town ... which is kinda boring ... kept finding an excuse to end the game .. but cant bear to leave him alone .. so, i just went on entertaining him ... then, he got more interesting stuff !! hot wheels ! drove around ... ok ... i got bored again ...

luckily, its barbeque time !! yes ar !! quickly grabbed lots of things to eat, then went to help with the cooking ... managed to prepare some sotong and chicken sashimi ... dont understand why , the stuff just wont get cooked .. fine ! then stopped cooking and went upstairs to continue playing with BABY !!!

movie marathon

2006-10-01T01:10:00.000+08:00

yesterday night , watched vcd until the wee hours of 5am ... kao ... watched the poseidon adventure (great show) , and grandma's boy (or something like that) ... the poseidon was a wonderful movie ... better than titanic ! it potrays all the human emotions felt when you are in grave danger ... theres a argument between a control freak and a pastor which left a great impression in my mind ...

Control freak : you will die if you leave the ballroom ...
Pastor : We will die trying ...

cool ... love that guy ... speaks like some kinda terminator or rambo guy ... also , one scene brought me to tears, its when a old lady , after holding her breath for some time underwater , she got up off the water and said :

Old lady : Feels just like the good old days (she was a swimmer in her high school years) ... Could you tell me about the park , (and forgot what else she said) ...
Pastor: (Illustrates the park and all the nice scenarys)

(then old lady slowly passes out and left) ....

gosh ! mixtures of emotions ... in the end , only 9 out of the thousands on the ship was rescued ...

then , the grandma's boy movie was kinda crappy ... about a computer game tester , and his 'sexy (overage) roomates' .... nothing particulary worthed to be mentioned ... but the movie was a funny one ...

also, i watched final destination 3 at my eldest aunt's place ... eek .. gruesome ... dont ya' think it is all too so very coincidental ? too much of a chain effect ? like the knifes cutting off the chain of a gym equiptment, and that guy's head got smashed , and whats left is just tomato puree ?? and the horse on the lose causing the flag pole to be flying like a javelin?? ooh ya !! and the gal's head got stapled by the staple gun ,, ooh , thats gross !! puke !! 5 stars for gruesomeness ....

cleaning ...

2006-09-30T00:51:00.000+08:00

ho ho ho ... today , stayed at home for the entire day ... then , as planned from yesterday night, i cleaned up my room ... whoo ...

now, its sparkling clean ... threw all the rubbish, and kept all the unimportant stuff under my bed ...

i actually used bleach (plus water of course) to wipe the shelves and the table ! now my hands is full of the bleach smell ... eek ...

wa !! the smell is killing me ! the amount of dust accumulated after many months of not cleaning was amazing ... it could actually turn the entire pail of water greyish ... puke ... i even had to change the water for like 3 times ... yuck ... and also, i squashed 2 itsy witsy spiders , supposingly starting their family at my shelf ... too bad ... bad choice for setting up their home at MY home ...

now, i am so happy that my room is sooooooo anti-dust ... yes ar !!!

then , tomorrow , i am gonna attend my cousin's son's first birthday bash !!! whooo .... hope theres gonna be lots of yummy stuff to eat ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!

my pets ....

haha ... if you have been to my place, you would have noticed that my house is filled with reptiles !! not snakes not lizards .... but tortoises !!!

from young , i felt an affinity with tortises ... thats why, i simply love tortoises ... have lots of tortoise displays too ...

showing you my beloved, cute tortises !! never really got a name for them, cos im not that good at giving people names ! they have been with me for 8 years now !! kinda treated them like my brothers!! today, let them out of their homes for a walk ... (hope they enjoyed)

now, let me introduce them to you , the one pictured on top, is a shy tortoise ... (had a hard time snapping his picture) ... btw, both them are hunks ! he is shy, timid and quiet ... doesnt like to climb about, contented with the life he is leading ... he has a darker tone to his skin ... and is slightly smaller in size than his companion ... they lived seperately though.. because if they lived together, they will kinda deprive each other of food ... survivor instincts born in them perhaps ...

today, when i let them out , he kept trying to squeeze into a dark corner which obviously he couldnt fit into ... haha ... funny ...

alright ... then , now the one pictured at the bottom ... is a playful ninja turtle ... ultra active... loves to climb and look at people ... whenever my mum is cleaning the floor , it would always stand up on his hind legs and look at my mum ... they have always been good friends as my mum is always the one bathing them ... he loves bath time ... whenever my mum runs the tap down his face, he will not struggle but yet, will close his eyes and enjoy his face wash ... cute eh ...

today, when i let him out, he even stepped on my toes on purpose .. and tried to press his legs down on my toes ... supposedly to attack me ... but his actions was nevertheless adorable !!

i love them !! they are so cute ! amusing us at every occasion !

LOVE YA GUYS !!!

LAMPS lights up craven cottage !!!

2006-09-24T00:05:00.000+08:00

whooo ..

chelsea just beaten fulham by 2-0 ... haha .. and guess who scores ... the recently much critisised FRANK LAMPARD .... he had shun all the critisism and slammed 2 goals pass the fulham goal line ... yes ar !! looks like the media has to wake up and swallow their words passed about lampard ... a player with such quality ...

first goal was a penalty taken with such grace ... it just sent the keeper the wrong way ... bullet speed the ball was kicked , and the roof of the net was almost torn ...

second was a hard pounded grounder, driven to the bottom left corner of the net .... fulham keeper dived, but was never able to reach the ball swerving away from his hands ...

excellent quality , goodness gracious me ... looks like we have found the high scoring midfielder of the premiership back at chelsea !!!
