Non-examinable..

Verdict: I am non-examinable..

Sian. Today the exam. Ok la, went well I would say. But still I din have the time to finish the paper. Freak! I din day-dream. I concentrated well. I only took one short break to sip water. My hands were praying for me to stop writing but I kept on going.. What the hell is wrong that I can't finish exam?

It's been years since I did a paper I'm very proud and satisfied with. Probably at 'o' Levels or even before that.

Sucks.

titleless

Been slacking for the past week, did nothing exciting in particular.. Just went on my gym and jogs, and of course hanging out with the gang..

Tml will be the day of the exams. Yet to read through the notes. It's an open book exam. Quite confident of doing well. I must remember to manage my time well, and also to concentrate well!! I must do it!

Bought Giggs' autobiography finally, and gosh. I don't think I've read a book that fast in years.. Almost halfway through it now..

Have this thought of going to ENgland! Haha. (Jo, scream here). Yah, like in a couple of weeks' time. But the price of air ticket is putting me off.. But it'd be damn good if I can visit England and watch some EPL match! Heh.. I'll see how. The whole thing of going on hols doesn't seem to be taking off.. Hope to go still though..

Was just browsing MINDEF's site.. Seeing all the scholarship things. Heh.. Hope I'd be eligible to apply for some scholarship?! Hmm, that's if I find interest in an Army career.. Well, still got time.. I must remember to apply for my NCC Gold Cert soon!

As you can see, this is an entry of random thoughts..

Are you on slimming pills?!

"Are you on slimming pills?".. Yes, that was the question that my mom threw me 2 days ago while sis was laughing at my last post about "the disgruntled citizen". Diao.. I am on slimming pills?!?! I bet my mom is jealous. Haha. My sis agrees with me too. Hehe..

I mean.. Wa LAO! Why would I go on slimming pills?! Firstly, I dun have the money to take these wonder pills! (I'm saving for 30-40yrs later when I need the wonder pill that comes in light blue colour.... ROIGHT.) Secondly, I'm firm beliver of working out to cut weight, or at the very least, go on a hunger strike.. No sufferings, no gain. And to go on slimming pills, you are screwing up ur body's metabolism and every other natural process; it won't be easy to cut taking after you have started. I'm smarter than that, dear mom..

Another reason she insist I'm on "pills" is cos she saw the toilet bowl the other day after I piss and was "in horror" why my piss was so dark. (Ok, not that I forgot to flush, but she had 2 pails of water outside and insisted I dun flush, and let her use the pails of water to flush.) Dear mom, there's 2 reasons I can offer for that "horrifying appearance" of my piss. Firstly, it was right after I woke up, and I dun wake up in the middle of the night to piss, so it's a good 8-9hrs of product by my kidney and bladder. Secondly, and I think most importantly, I don't drink alot of water on a normal day. Yeah, my often dry lips is one of the best testimonial; if not, there's a reason why Qi bought me the 1 litre gigantic water bottle last year. Haha.. Alternatively, give her a call and she can testify under Oath that I indeed take much less water as recommended by doctors. Haha..

And last but not least, *cries*.. I won't be working out so faithfully if I'm on slimming pills!! Wa lao.. I think my mom thinks I go jogging for fun in the middle of the night, rather than sit in front of the TV munching away on chips. -.-" Heh.. Jealous moms can come up with the craziest ideas in the world. Haha.. And my mom is forever complaining she is getting fatter and fatter. -.-" It's high time you do get a kg or two heavier, Mom.. You're middle-aged already, if you don't gain some weight, I should be the one worrying.

P/S: This post was in no means written sacarstically. The "dear mom"s and what nots are just meant to make the post more affectionate. Lol..

Rants & Raves from A Disgruntled Citizen..

Bah.. Why does the Budget not benefit me?! Again?! The so-called Budget for "every Singapore Citizen".. Am I not a Singapore Citizen, being eligible for a pink IC since birth and holding one since 6 yrs ago. Wad's more, this male citizen here is waiting faithfully for his enlistment for NS. WTF. Call that for EVERY SINGAPORE CITIZEN?!

I'm baffled why the Budget always exclude people under 21. Don't they contribute to the country and society at all to deserve such benefits? I'm sure they do. Countless youngsters work since 16 or even younger. Though their primary objective is to earn pocket money, don't they help to drive the economy some way or other? Now, tell me, how many Singaporean adult out there who work but their primary target is not to earn a living?! HA HA.

Well, the past Budgets which had the ERS and NSS.. Yeah.. The Budget included EVERY Singaporean, in the sense that GST increase, nobody can escape that.. Not even a 2 yr-old toddler waddling to a provision shop to buy a 10-cent candy can escape from it. But he'd need to fast forward his life 19 yrs in order to get the extra 2% of tax he paid for back in the package which was said to be enough to cover Singaporeans for the next 5 yrs.. -.-" Poor kiddo.. and me..

I find it appalling why is this so that only those above 21 should be included. Probably give the 16s or 18s and above some bonuses as well, probably in smaller amounts.. Isn't that a even more balanced Budget? Oh, I forgot. Only adults aged 21 and above vote.

Happy 21st Bro..

Hmm, gotta backdate this again.. to 18th Feb..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO!! And oh yes, sweet 21.. (only 21) =p

Night of fun and laughter once more with the gang, celebrating Gab's bdae. I wonder why I dun get tired of them. We can laugh about anything under the sun, stupid jokes, lame actions.. And Gab's very cold comments time and again, which we returned his favour by singing birthday songs for him..

Weekend of emotional ups and downs. Mentally drained as much as physically.. Time to recuperate..

Goodbye Mel! Been a great 2 weeks with you back here. Looking forward to July, with you and Jo back, but me in Army.. Sian.. Haha. Weekends ok!! Keep it free the 2 of u and all of u!! =p

Week for remembrance but to forget..

I'm back-dating this entry to 17 Feb.

This week is my last week of school.. Quite happy to be done with school in a sense, but probably a bit lost also. Lucky got NS to look forward to, if not really even more lost. Hrm.. It's been a sad week nonetheless. Passing of two elders.. One day after another, really marred my week..

First was cousin-in-law's dad. Well, don't know him too well but I'll always remember watching a Arsenal vs Man U match with him at his house. Hospitable, friendly uncle who clearly din mind my cousin bringing me there though cousin and his wife weren't married yet back then.

Den Thurs, came a very very saddening news of Qi's grampa's passing.. How should I say this.. Having no grampa to look up to since I was born, I regarded her ah gong somewhat as my own.. Though we weren't exactly very close and din talk that much, he was nonetheless the first family member of Qi that I met. It wasn't very shocking to learn of his passing.. Cos Qi told me few weeks back that he is somewhat bedridden cos he had no strength to get out of it. But still, it's just sad. I will miss him. Rest well, ah gong..

k700i on hunger strike..

Ok, my k700i is on hunger strike, refusing to charge. Probably cos I dropped it yesterday.. Forced me to use my 6510. Still in good working condition.. Surprised I must say. Haha.. Which means I can still rely on it for NS, cos no cam phones allowed, supposedly.

Nonetheless, tried to charge my k700i again just now and it's eating again. Haha.. Probably it's too hungry and so just eat now.. Like my nephew. Must starve him sometime, if not he everytime give trouble while eating. hehe.. Evil uncle, but really he needs some discipline..

Happy V-Day one and all, especially to Joanna in the faraway land of U.K.. =)

School's gonna end. Can start planning for my backpack next week! Yay.. I need companions.. Anyone?! I'm eyeing for backpack in SEA. Or a free and easy tour to Taiwan. Or a roadtrip in Malaysia.. Come on!! Register with me!! =D

Weekend of fun!

The chalet is over! Time pass damn fast when you are having fun I must say.. Really had a wonderful time. It's somehow not complete without Jo there, but it's somewhat made up with her calls. It's definitely a good choice to have the chalet when Mel is back here. (Though she did nothing much other than slp and eat.) hehe..

So it all started on Fri when I went to check in. Drove dad's car there, dumped my stuffs and all the goodies I've brought from home, mopped the floor and returned the car to dad before meeting Kunlei and Gab at Tampines to do some grocery shopping. Really sorry to Norman, wenyu & KY, for keep you waiting at Changi V for us. BUT waiting for a cab was an absolute bitch.. We carried the stuffs walking along the streets, getting ourselves further and further away from Tampines Mall in a bid to hail an empty cab. It was somehow by luck that we managed to do so an hour later. Damn shag. And pple, you guys had stuffs to eat cos of us!! Haha.. And nice food too, cos we wanted to marinate earlier to add to the taste, that's why we bought on Fri rather than Sat.. Fri was just the 5-6 of us, playing Xbox, and having early nights in preparation for Saturday.

Card games at chalet is definitely a favourite pastime. I dun mean the gambling all this. But the card games like Indian Poker, the ones you call pple's nickname if you have the same card etc. Hehe. Definitely had fun, and watching Kunlei gulped down 5 cups of water in 10 mins was the highlight of the afternoon.. Heh.. We actually started the BBQ quite late. It was 7pm when they went to set the fire while KL, Veron and I stayed in the chalet to add marinate to the seafood we bought.

BBQ went quite well, the chicken thigh meat was an abolute success.. Damn Damn freaking nice. Thanks to Da Hua Chicken Marinate Sauce and KL's favourite of Garlic Salt. Hehe.. Must really ask the 2 of us to marinate the next time we have a BBQ.. Hehe.. At around 2330, we had a belated mini-bdae celebration for Mel. Presented her with a pinky adidas sweater Gab and I bought, and a small chocolate cake, which we threatened to treat as Yu Sheng and toss it!! Lol, madness.. Haha.. It was nice to see Weixiong's Korean gf.. Singapore is really going global. Haha.. Maybe Jo would bring back an ang moh bf to shock us. Rofl..

The night was followed with some booze and I K.O. due to tiredness and the vodka; KC also KO quite fast.. While Gab was like Mr. Guan Yu through the night. But I managed to wake up 1 hour later.. Heh.. And to see GF and KL trying to make Veron drunk was sheer fun. Veron is a tough one, seriously. She never doh and probably survived better than GF the next day.. *bows* Anyway, after I woke up, the highlight was some mad singing session at 5am! Haha.. Sang lots and lots of song till we ran out of song to sing and started singing "zao an lao shi". WTH.. I wondered if our neighbours heard us.. CNY carolling!! Haha..

Hrm, thereafter pple started leaving, then left a few of us to clear things up and leave the chalet. Had lunch before heading home. Good fun, best friends. What more can I have asked for?! =) (maybe other than asking Jo fork out $1,000 to buy air tickets to come back, LOL)

Went to watch I Not Stupid Too last night. Definitely a must-watch. Touching, funny and thought-provoking and lasted more than 2 hrs. Thumbs up Jack Neo! =)

Some photos from weekend:


Mel & her feminine sweater. Hehe..









Hello world! This is My Gang!

Chalet!!

Phew.. Finally finally got thru the week! Heh.. I damn lucky that Mr Choy decided to extend the deadline for the IDM project, if not, I'd have been half dead by now and really no need to go chalet liao..

The week started with Mel coming back.. WELCOME HOME MEL!! Hehe.. Really nice to see her back. And I'm glad to know she was very happy to see us.. =) Was busy the whole day - went airport at 7.30am to receive Mel, den went to temple, den came home rested abit, den down to Sembawang to do Ad project, before heading to Mel's place for Mee Siam by her granny, 2 rounds of yu sheng, lots of new yr cookies and EPL action on a big freaking huge LCD TV.. Went home only at 2+, slp only 2 hrs den off to school and din come home till 10pm on Monday. Si bei cui..

Tue was the pitch for Ad. All went well and smooth, but we din get in to get to pitch to the client. Bloody hell. It's a conspiracy to give all 3 slots to the other cohort man. Knn.. But I'm glad, on the other hand, that the shitload project is over, now just the test and assignment to do.

Rushed through Wed night to complete my Acting & Directing Journal (a classic case of procrastination).. Took a nap from 4am-6am.. Up at 6 to continue doing the journal till 8 den go sch.. ) very very cui.. 2nd time in a week slp for 2 hrs.. Din help that on both days after the lack of slp, I came home late.. Then now going to chalet to chiong. Think I will doh.. Haha..

Anyway, looking forward to chalet. Been a yr plus since the last one.. Heh.. Ok, think that's all for now. LAST WEEK of school coming up!! Oh man.. How time flies!! and yah, failed my napfa cos of pull up. Damn. NBCB.. Go gym now. =p
