Be Satisfied With What You Have Now, Don't Anticipate The Unexpected

2011-02-01T19:34:00.004+08:00

First off, I know I wanted to revive this blog. December was a very busy period for me due to my personal preparations for my exams and all that planned holidays!! I also did not have the luxury of time to go for some 'photo hunting' so capture some new pictures. But before I can continue my photography hunts, I have to get me a new lens.. Pfffft.. Still considering which lens to get though. I'm using Canon EOS DSLR btw.. haha.. *wink wink*

With that, I went on to surf around facebook for some pictures. Now, you would ask,"Why are you using Facebook instead of a proper search engine like Google??" Well, some pictures from these profile reflects much about how their lifestyle is. You can have a good guess on someone's personality just by looking at their pictures. Call me weird, but I like to observe people.

Back to this picture. It's amazing how a simple picture can summarise our short, temporary lives in this world. A Milk bottle, a Soda bottle, a Beer bottle and lastly an Intravenous (IV) bottle. Symbolising different stages of our chaotic lives. Looking at the contents of each bottle, it reflects back on how our lives might have been in tune with it.

Milk supplements our growth from birth. Be it from our mothers or from tin cans, they serve their main purpose to supply us with nutrients for the development of our body. Pure. Just as we all were. Not forgetting that it is the very 1st drink we all had.

Soda, or some would call it fizzy drink, teenage years of raging hormones and hyperactive lifestyles. We are constantly trying to find ourselves - a unique Identity. Exploring and experimenting almost everything we get our hands on. Always full of adrenaline. Like they say, sugar rush.

Beer. Wine. Champagne. Vodka. Alcohol. I guess it's the period of life where one takes a step back from his usual routine to enjoy the Fruits of Labour. It can be in a form of entertainment. Going to clubs and pubs for drinks, enjoying a cup of red or white wine in a luxurious restaurant, or perhaps lying on the beach, under the stars enjoying the moment with your loved ones.

Saline. What a way to end life. Salt nutrients into your circulatory system injected with medication. As much as we try to run away from it, Death will send it's invitation sooner or later. This bottle becomes your Lifeline - let it run and you probably get to see a couple more days.

So what's my message for this post? Life is short. Make the best of it. Experiment with it. Enjoy every minute of it. Be with your loved ones. Most of all, do not fill it with regrets of what you should have done or what you did not do.

Nature..

The photo above was taken at Bukit Timah. Observe the complex and repetitive pattern on it. Nice, isn't it?

Now, look into your own life. As much as we try to live and enjoy every second of it, there is always work and school. A similar repetitive pattern occurring daily. And as much complexity comes along with it; family & friends.

Well, recently there has been a dispute among cousins and countless attempts to fix this tension ends up building more hostility. I do hope it settles down soon and we can all forget about what happened. My sister will be getting married next month. I really hope that event will improve the current state of hostility. InshaAllah.

Wow.. I was browsing through others' facebook accounts when I chance upon their blog and I figured, well, why don't I re-start my blog once again.. Haha..

As you can see, the last post was waaaaaayyyyyy past last year during NDP standby.. Much have change since and I think I will use this space to post inspirational and/or crazy posts instead of my daily mundane life.. Perhaps when I really need to rant, this can be of use as well..

As a start to revive this blog, I went to the esplanade in search of rock patterns used within the structure itself. I felt really dumb to be snapping photos of pillars and walls instead of people and surroundings which NORMAL people do. Haha.. But it was for fieldwork. Good thing was, no security approached to ask what the hell I was doing. It would be weird if I were to tell them it was for a school project and I was researching for rock patterns. As if they will believe me. Most likely I would be pulled in for interrogation instead!!

We often look at the BIG picture in life. Never paying enough attention to the small details. School has taught me a very important lesson. You just need to slow down and take a step back, observe everything. The smallest gestures are usually the most important ones in life. A pat on the back; a sincere smile; a simple thank you.

At the same time, there were performances for Pesta Raya, the post festival of Hari Raya celebration. Old song were sung and it brought memories.

Ending this post I would like to Quote a phrase from my buddy:-

"We are left with 3 cycles, just do it. Don't think anymore."
He's referring to our horoscope cycles. I'm turning 24 next year and what he said is quite true. 3 more cycles; 36 years later. When I reflect back on the years that had passed, I find myself asking, What I left behind in the past, does it have any significance? Have I left behind a legacy for people to look up to?

UPDATE!!!

Birthday was spend simple this year just because I SPLURGE A HUGE SUM LAST YEAR FOR MY 21ST.. LOL!!! HAHAHA!!! LMAO!!! ROFL!!!

But it was worth every single cent spent..

Friday itself was a busy day.. Well, not really busy for me but 3 events were happening at the same time!! Firstly, the constant birthday wish messages coming into my phone.. Secondly, it was my trainees' POP.. Thirdly, JVS' SYF competition which I was unable to go cause of my trainees' POP..

So happy to see them go off to another chapter in their NS life; Station life.
Most of them gave thanks both through sms and FB.. It feels great.. Here's wishing them all the best and may they have plentiful experiences..

Birthday update.. I got Final Fantasy Distant World OST from BCF, New pair of Shoes from Woman and Mambang and a Billabong t-shirt from my cousin.. Last year people give too many presents to me liao, this year only get 3.. HAHAHA.. So sad.. But I still feel blessed to have friends who remembered my birthday at least.. =)

WOW.. It's been a while since I update this blog..

First on the list!! My trainees will be Passing Out (not literally) on Friday!!! Wheew!! Finally!! There they go into station life for some, medical centre and etc..

Ouh yeah, what's the deal with Earth Hour??? "Turn off your lights for 1 hour". Hello?? Who in the world suggested this movement?? I can turn off the lights but still be watching my TV on my Home Theatre System full blast with my Mom using the kitchen appliances and my Bros hogging on the computer surfing the internet while my sisters watching tv in their rooms.. WHAT BLOODY DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO HELP SAVE THE WORLD?? I'm still using electricity.. Just not using the lights..

I think we should do our part as individuals.. Recycling and stuff but most importantly we should be more aware about our usage.. We often leave fan or radio switches ON even though we are not using them.. Or powering the heater for no one.. hahaha.. These forgetful behaviour can be avoided and thus reducing the power usage in your own houses.. Not by switching off the lights for 1 full hour ONCE a YEAR.. DUMB..

Anyway, other than my usual rants.. I bought myself GTA : Chinatown Wars for the NDS and IT ROCKS!!! I'm hooked and I often miss my stop playing it.. HAHAHA!!! I still remember my 1st time playing the PSP in the train.. On the way to school from Boon Lay to Clementi, I looked up and realise it was already QUEENSTOWN.. HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOTALLY ENGROSSED!!!!!!!!!!

So my birthday will be coming this Friday.. That day alone coincides with my tainees' POP and JVS will be going for their SYF at 1130hrs as well.. HAHAHA.. Well, I hope this year will be a fun Birthday for me even though I don't plan to make any party or celebration or any other plans.. Wishes this year?? hmmm.. I dunno...

There's just so many things I want and need but most of all I need my mom to be healthy and safe for more years to come.. Hopefully she gets to see me get married.. Or even have children!! hahaha.. That's my ultimate wish.. I want that to happen..

As for in this materialistic world, my wishlist to the left would be good.. An iPod Nano, New Specs, New Bag, New Watch, New Shoes, New EVERYTHING and of course MOOOOOOOOOOOLAHHHHHSSSSSSSS!!!! hahaha..

I took a quiz in Facebook asking, what type of musical instrument I am and I am none other than the.....

FRENCH HORN!!!

Here's the description of my personality and I must say it's true especially eht blurting out part.. LOL!!! And the part about liking small get together..

You are very sassy! You have a high IQ and are not affraid to let people know it. You like to be different and have a few strange 'quirks' here and there, but are an all around good person. you can come of brash and blunt and sometimes people don't know how to handle your honesty. Try taking people's feelings into consideration more often. you will learn to live better with them if you think about what you say before you say it; like horn calls, Horn players have a natural tendancy to blurt out whatever is on their mind. They don't like to party but they do like small get together. You'd much rather have lunch with a close friend or two than to go to an extravagent party. You enjoy lavash things, and really love to help people and animals.

Being a leader in a very regimental organisation requires the individual to maintain discipline and order. This would, in turn, trigger some sort of punishments if any lower ranked individuals were to break or ignore any regulations set by higher authority.

Being a leader myself, I always had the thought of giving such punishments but somehow deep in me, I feel awkward and wrong. Having to shout at trainees for whatever reason will make me feel uneasy. Maybe because I have never been yelled at before. I swear, for as long as I can remember, the only person who laid his hands on me was my Dad. No one else; not even Mom. Mom would scold and nag but she will keep her hands to herself.

Somehow, I feel weird to be in such position. I have to maintain discipline by punishment if rules are broken but at the same time, I would feel bad punishing these group of people.

--------------------

A little update about myself. Recently, I wasn't myself due to mixed emotions I encountered. I still am now but I will try not to show it to people around me and not let it get in my way or disrupt me of my duties at work.

And obviously, I need cash. What's new huh??

I feel like I'm gonna be sick..
Been having this drowsy / dizzy feeling every time I blow my nose or when I sit up from lying position..

On a lighter note, I finally ordered my Nightmare Grand Killer Show and is now in transit.. MORE WAITING.. shit.. But it's okay.. I will be watching it as a stress relief while taking the next batch of medics.. :)

Duty on Monday again.. But it's okay.. I volunteered.. Cause my senior was in a super stress mode and I feel that I should help lighten his burden..

People at work had been asking if I am feeling okay.. My response were constant..

A simple Yes - To ease them from worrying but not relieving anything off my troubled mind.. Even though I feel demoralized and the unwillingness of doing anything at all..

I know for sure I have to go through this phase myself.. Thanks for worrying bout me..

------------------------------

Ya Allah.. Aku merayu kepadaMu untuk kau memberikanku kekuatan untuk mengatasi segala cabaran dan ujian yang telah kau sediakan untukku..

Oh Almighty Allah.. I come forth to you begging for you to give me the strength to clear all the obstacles and tests of my faith that you have prepared for me..

Aku hanyalah manusia yang lemah..

I am only a weak human being..

Air mata yang mengalir setiap malam, hanya Kau tahu bertapa sunyi hidupku serta segala perasaan pedih yang telahku alami selama ini..

The tears that I cried every night, only you know the utmost loneliness and the most pain my heart had experience all this while..

Show me the path..

I don't think I can carry on like this... not anymore...

I am strangely quiet today at work.. I have no idea why but it must have been one of my moody days.. I guess I finally felt that loneliness that surrounded me for the longest time since, finally smacked me on the face..

Moody me.. For some time I guess.. Emo.. I might smile and laugh with you but I can assure you it's just a facade.. Very sure.. Haiz..

What's wrong with me? Can someone bring me back to my normal self? My mind's just scrambled with mixed emotions..

I need that hug..
To tell me that I'm appreciated..

I need that assurance..
To know that I can still go on..

I need that warm touch..
To know there is someone I can rely on..

Yes.. I've been wanting to do this for quite a while after weeks of working.. Alas!! I have my off approved and i'll be resting at home tomorrow.. BUT!! I think my bro's not working either because it's his birthday tomorrow..

--------------------

Just when I want to spend some time alone.. Have the house to myself.. Do some soul searching, sipping on my cuppa Vanilla Ceylon Coffee Bean tea.. Fuhhh!! I desperately want that to happen tomorrow!! It'll be soooooooo damn peaceful lah.. Add in a couple of friends, just chilling and chatting together... Shiok-ness..

--------------------

I laughed EXTREMELY hard today at work.. My stomach hurts like mad.. I've never laughed so hard for a very very veeeeeerrrryyy looooooong time.. It felt good.. Painfully good.. I've made good friends in NS.. I feel blessed..

Most people who know me will usually see me as someone who's always looking on the bright side and think positive.. Most of my friends have not even seen me angry or pissed off!! hahaha..

It's not me to just go bursting in anger for the slightest mistake.. Well, sometimes I do.. But it'll only last for a couple of minutes!! And I'll go back to my normal crazy and happy-go-lucky personality.. hahaha..

BUT!!! One thing that really makes me irritated or damn pissed (oops).. Stupid questions or stupid sentences or stupid theories given by stupid people.. LOL!!! I don't mean to be offensive but it simply ticks me off.. I just don't get what's going through their mind before they actually speak.. Hence, as the saying goes, THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK MOFO!!.. Minus the MOFO part.. yeah..

Anyway, it's really annoying ar.. asking stupid questions, BUT sometimes you really really REALLY need to ask stupid questions.. But it's not as stupid as normal conversation stupid questions.. Get it??

Like okay for example.. When someone got hurt, a normal human reaction, people will ask, "Are you okay?" even though he/she knows the other party is in pain/injured.. But this question is to get information.. Cause usually, after the question is asked, the other party will point to the injury site and reply with something like, "I think my arm's broken."

But there's some really stupid questions like, ermmm... I can't think of one cause I DON'T ASK STUPID QUESTIONS!!! And who would remember what stupid question stupid people ask... -.-"

*EDIT*
Okay okay.. I remembered what my friend asked me earlier (after 20 mins of remembering what scene I was doing earlier today). He asked me, "Is this glue suppose to stick the papers together?"

BUT!!! Since he's my friend and I don't wish to hurt him, I just looked at him for 5 seconds (with the omg look) and continue my work.. LOL!!!

Okay, hate me if you want but this is me... Like it or not, if anyone comes up to me and asks me a stupid question, I will definitely reply with 100% sarcasm that will pierce through your heart multiple times, thus making you realise how stupid you are to ask stupid questions..

That's kinda harsh eh.. hahaha.. No wonder I don't have many close/best friends.. Like my colleague told me, I have a very sharp tongue.. In malay, it's called Mulut Laser.. Anyhow, Anywhere, Any person, I will just shoot.. LOL!!! =X

Anyway, tomorrow, I'm going to have a very relaxed day at work.. So, I hope to have a relaxed and slow-paced Friday..

Hey!!! It's New Year already.. Pffffffffft...

I wasn't really into the New Year cause I know for sure it'll be a terrible New Year.. AND SURE ENOUGH!!! Just a couple of days into the New Year, the Israelis invades and MASSACRES INNOCENT CIVILIANS in the Gaza Strip.. Bloody ****.. And **** can still support them by saying Hamas were the ones who aggravated the Israelis... WTF!!!

But anyway, I'm here not to complain but to list down my Wishlist for the year!!

Here goes (arranged from High Priority(1) to Low Priority(7)):

1) MP3 Player - Apple iPod Nano. I was looking around and then I thought of getting a proper MP3 player instead of using my HP as an MP3 player.. And so, my eyes caught on iPod and out of the selections, I think Nano fits me well..

2) Nintendo Wii - Just for the FUN of owning more consoles..

3) NDSi - Singapore Region Release, which I think will be some time in 3rd Quarter..

4) Grand Killer Show 2008 - Nightmare Concert!!! I really really want this!!!

5) New Shoes - Just something to add on to my very limited pairs of shoes I own..

6) New Specs - Been wanting to change but ain't got no moneyyy..

7) New Bag - I want a backpack.. Been using sling for YEARS!!! Since Sec 3 I think.. GOSH!!!

YEAH!!! I'll think of more when the items comes to mind..

I felt that the service given to me was extremely ridiculous..

I went to the bank to get my Debit Card replaced.. This lady behind the counter told me she would need to retain my card for the replacement.. It was all fine..

She asked for my Identicifation Card as well as the Debit Card and filled up a form.. She then asks for my singature and after I signed the form she told me it was different than the one she has on the system.. I told her that it's the only sigature I have and she said that the signature she has in the system was longer.. So I took some time to think if I actually signed a different signature but I insisted that what I gave was the signature..

So this other lady told me to see my own signature and replicate it.. GUESS WHAT.. My siganture is very cursive and very close together and I was kinda missing one stroke in there..

She made me signed twice more before choosing the most accurate one (all 3 signatures looks the same)..

Now what I find ridiculous was:

1) She has my FULL NAME, NRIC number as well as my FULL ADDRESS as my 11B was with her. My 11B even has my FACE PICTURE.

2) She has full access to my Account (which includes my FULL NAME, NRIC number and FULL ADDRESS). As well as the Savings Acc number and the link from my Debit Card to the savings Account.

I have NO IDEA why she still insists that my signature must be as close as what she has in the system..

HELLO?!?!? CANNOT SEE MY FACE IS IT? MY FACE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IS IN MY 11B IS IT? MY NRIC NUMBER DIFFERENT IS IT? MY FULL NAME DIFFERENT IS IT?? MY ADDRESS DIFFERENT IS IT???

nb.. I go over to malaysia at the Customs they don't even ask ridiculous questions ar please... They don't ask me to do ridiculous thing ar please.. They see the face same, the name same they allow to pass through liao ar.. You so mahfan for what?? I know banks are not doingso well lah..

I should be scared even more cuz you guys might take my money just like HIGHNOTES.. Take people money but cannot pay back...

I am totally insulted and irritated by my brother..

The other day, I was heating up Ayam Brand's Chilli Tuna to eat with some bread.. So while I was heating it up on a frying pan, he came into the kitchen and asked what I was doing..

AND, HE COMMENTED THAT IT SMELLED LIKE SHIT..

I felt like taking that hot frying pan and hit him on the face.. FARK!! Firstly, it's food for God's sake.. Secondly, I was going to eat that.. You know what I did?? I took the frying pan and dispose the tuna immediately after he said those EVIL words and HIM witnessing what I did said, "It's just a joke.. and it smelled funny anyway."

Lost my Farking appetite.. Skipped lunch and went straight to my room and watched TV till I doze off..

Okay so this is an overdue post that wanted to talk about.. hahaha..
I just felt lazy to blog about it but here goes..

Muallaf - The Convert

I wanted to watch this show because of the director.. I've watched Sepet and Gubra and I find them very nice so I can assure myself that this will not disappoint me.. And it didn't..

The storyline is nice however, it didn't really show the Muallaf part.. But instead, it shows the growing interest of a Man towards a Woman because of her knowledge in Religious Comparison, which soon progressed into Love..

"It is in forgiving that we are forgiven."

After that show, I went off to watch another show - Four Christmases.. Romance/Comedy genre.. To top it off, we met up with Sid and CX for some get-together and had supper at Makansutra while enjoying some acoustics from DXO.. hahaha..

Food + Friends + Music = Happy ME

But like they always say, Good things must come to an end.. So we departed and I reached home about 3am in the morning..

Hokay... So I was walking with Jere around JP when I suggested that we go over to Popular to check out any nice books.. I didn't manage to find anything interesting until we were about to leave when Jere pointed to the Best Seller corner and my eyes caught a familiar title..

Invisible Trade 2.. YES!!! 2!!!

I read the previous book and I was amazed.. Didn't really thought that Singapore has people doing stuff like that.. But yeah.. It really was an eye-opener, sort of..

I purchased it of course.. $20 bucks BUT I've yet to read it because my leave was cancelled and now I'm stuck with a course.. haiz.. sad sad sad..

Anyway, I have been a bit grumpy these few weeks.. Might be due to insufficient day off and leave.. PLEASE APPROVE ALL MY LEAVE!!!

YUP!!! I'm officially a medic!! YAY!! hahaha.. Well, over the past 7 weeks, it has been a enjoyable learning journey with 108th MOC.. Do keep in contact, work safely in station, okay?

Well, after POP ceremony, had Unagon (Unagi with rice) for lunch and change for a bowling session at Marina Square!! There were 8 of us playing while some others were either playing pool, arcade or simply walking around..

In the evening, I went out for visiting with ORD SGT Faisal and Shahrul.. Went to each of our houses + our OC's.. hahaha.. he lives super near me lah - a couple of blocks away.. omg.. hahaha.. We reached Shahrul's house at bout 10:45pm and we left at about 2:30am after watching Faisal's favourite Disney Channel show titled 'Wizards of the Waverly Place'.. hahaha!!! Hard to believe he still watch this kinda shows.. *smacks head* hahaha.. =X

BUT, nevertheless, it was a great get together.. Even though it's a small one.. Looking forward to our next outing in December!!

It's pretty dark now.. The clouds, I mean.. It's gonna be a downpour.. Cool weather.. I love this kind of weather.. Especially when I'm alone at home with all the windows and doors shut..

Just so, Peaceful..

I was blog-hopping randomly into strangers' blogs when I come acros this blog, and the blogger posted this sentence,"I fucking for God damn sake cant fucking run man."

He was describing about how he was not able to catch up with his friends during his 2.4km run. He also added that during his secondary school days, he would be the one leading his 2 other friends.

Nice structured sentence aye? Singaporeans will definitely understand that sentence. But in my opinion, using 2 'fucking' in a sentence is way too much.. It should either be for God's sake or God damn.. Lastly Fucking for God damn sake sounds extremely wrong..

I think he was trying to type,"For God's sake, I can't fucking run man." Well, no no knows what's going through his mind when he was posting it..

Anyway, a little update about me!! I just finished my Final Exercise.. Meaning, all the skills and knowledge I had learn for the past 6 weeks, are put into practice.. God, it was an extremely tiring day.. Took a couple of funny pictures of ourselves being casualties.. hahaha.. YUP!! It's damn funny that I laughed so hard, I felt like my rectum was gonna come gushing out..

Okay, I'm turning in.. So damn tired..

5 more days!! :)

What a boring Saturday.. Here I am, stuck at home, spring cleaning for Hari Raya.. -.-"

Gosh, in 2 weeks time, 108th MOC will go our separate ways.. In fact, I kinda like this bunch of guys.. Unlike recruit days, I feel that in this course, we are all more bonded.. hahaha.. Must take more pictures.. Especially during POP!!!

Anyway, I'm bored.. Got my pay already but I think I'll save up.. I hope to save at least 1k till the end of the year.. hahaha.. Obviously for spending purposes.. BUT HOW TO??? Plenty of birthdays coming up.. How to save up???

Ouh yeah.. Allow me to revise my wishlist.. Here goes!!

1) Nintendo Wii
2) Ipod Touch
3) Gaming Desktop
4) A new NDS Lite - my current DS lite's touch screen is screwed..

I know, I know.. They're all gadgets.. But isn't that what guys like? hahaha.. Hell, I can't wait for my service to end.. 2010 faster come!!! I wanna start school and earn some freaking money..

By the way, it's been a long while since I caught a movie.. The previous movie was WALL-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.. That's like last month?!?!?!?

Anyway, I have a lot of pictures to upload BUT I think I'm not allowed to.. hmmm.. So if ya wanna see them, CALL ME OUT!!!

In MOC, we love to use this phrase - WHERE GOT TIME???
I have no idea who started it but even our Encik uses it!! hahaha..
Maybe due to our nature to always response to emergency, we always use this phrase.. hahaha..

Quoted from one of Yahoo Singapore's Featured articles - "The number of non—residents grew by 19 per cent, while the resident population went up by a mere one per cent."

WTF?!?!?

US economy is in recession. A.K.A DEEP SHIT..

WTF?!?!?

Malaysian PM can't make up his mind to step down earlier or not.. One day he said he'll step down before 2010, next day he said he won't and now he hints he can step down earlier than planned..

WTF?!?!? MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY?

Thailand's ex-PM went on air for a cooking show..

WTF?!?!?

THE WORLD IS CRAZY!!! No offence to any of the parties mentioned above but seriously, what is happening around the world now? Is global warming roasting everyone's brain causing them to do crazy stuff?

The weather's pretty F***ed up recently; one moment it's super sunny and HOT, the next minute, IT POURS LIKE MAD..

Anyway, 5 weeks through my MO Course.. 2 weeks to go!!!

Hari Raya is coming in 4 days time..

My game I bought online have yet to arrive.. Waiting SUCKS!!!

From morning 8:00am to afternoon 5:30pm.. I really hope I have the energy to go through it.. Let's just pray for the best..

Yesterday was infusion day.. Means we IV each other.. Well, I manage to poke through my buddy's vein on the second try.. BUT sadly, in return, he didn't manage to poke through my vein at all.. End up, my instructor helped him.. hahaha..

ALRIGHTY!!! I'VE BEEN EXTREMELY BUSY TO UPDATE MY BLOG!!!

Actually not really busy but just too tired to think after every week and my weekends are usually burned.. hahaha.. Apologies for frequent visitors to disappoint you every time you visit my blog expecting an update but got nothing..

So, 21st August was my Passion Out Ceremony.. It was a good day.. After the route march, we officially pass out!! YEAH!! I manage to win the Best in CD Skills award for Alpha coy.. Muahahaha.. Congrats to Asri for winning the Best in PT award and Rafaee for winning Best in Company as well as Best in Battalion!!

So posting day on Monday, 25th August and I got posted to Medical Orderly Course.. Something that I am not enthusiastic about but I guess I'll have to accept the position and do my best.. 2 weeks had passed, 5 weeks to go before I post out once again but to be a certified Medic.. So far, it's been very educational.. Plenty of skills and knowledge acquired..

Okay enough about NS life..

Weekendsare spent with Jillian and Nurul for movies.. If not with them, it'll be with Band members, Bo Chups or CX and Sid.. Been spending a lot of time with them lately.. Very cool indeed..

Well, other than that, nothing much to update.. Just that I'm getting darker and more people can recognise that I'm actually Malay and not mistake me as Chinese.. I WANT MY FAIR SKIN TONE BACK!!! How to make my skin back to it's fair colour? Anyone can give me tips??? I'M DESPERATE!!!

hahaha..

It's been a month since I started my NS life... Time passes quite fast actually... Especially the weekends... hahaha...

Well, All is well for those who are concerned about me.. I met a whole lot of new friends... All the times we had together - from the shaving our heads botak to the tough PTs we go through to all the hundreds of 'half-right' we do every day... hahaha... Good memories...

Come Monday, some of them would be going over for a specialist course over at the other building and the fit squad will be enlisting on the same week... New friends and new platoon mates...

Come to think of it, going in there had changed my perspective a bit... I tend to treasure my loved ones more... Almost every night I would think about them before I sleep and say a little prayer for them to be well... It's amazing how mentally fragile I can be in there... A day or two passed in there and I would start missing home already... Now, every Friday when I book out, I would spend more time with my mom... I even slept in her room last night... hahaha...

Anyway, I've been neglecting the Movie Theatre for a month... So I'll be meeting up with a couple of friends to catch 2 shows... YUP!! Not 1 but 2... hahaha...

ERS money in 200... Yesterday minus 100 pay HP bill... -.-"
HOW TO ENJOY MY ERS MONEY SIA???

My allowance will be in Hopefully next week... Then can save a bit at least... Plenty of things to buy... But no money... haiz...

My package containing 2 albums arrived today!!! I had a hunch that they'll reach today.. Of course I'm right.. HAHAHA!!! THICK SKIN SIA AZHAR!!!

Anyway, L'Arc~en~Ciel's album is okay okay.. I like the cover thingy which has the lyrics and stuff.. LOL!!! I don't know what the actual word to describe that but I'm sure you guys know..

BUT I definitely did NOT expect such a great special edition album for Nightmare.. It's slightly smaller than A4 size paper and the lyrics thingy merge together with the photo book.. DAMN COOL!!! I want to flip through the pages also like must think twice.. LOL!!
Their quality of product is just AWESOME!!!

Somehow I really like their music so much.. LOL!!! CRIMINAL BABY!!!

Anyway, back down to Earth.. I've been watching KBS WORLD (Cable Channel 173) and 1 variety show that really caught my attention recently is Star Golden Challenge!! This show is just so cool and funny and a lot of fun to watch.. It's not as wacky or as crazy as those Japanese game shows like Human Tetris etc..

They invite celebrities and artists to the show to play games for charity.. A couple of artist were asked to sing their favourite some and one artist's voice just caught my ear.. Brian Joo Min-Kyu.. But I still prefer KIM BUM SOO!!! And I'm getting Brian's album tmr!! LOL!!! From yahoo seller for just $27!! CHEAP STUFF!! NEW & UNOPEN some more.. I LIKE CHEAP STUFF!!!

2008-05-28T01:04:00.002+08:00

Pampering myself, I made a couple of online transactions..

Bought myself Nightmare's Latest album titled "Killer Show" released 21st May 2008.. Can't wait to listen to their new songs.. And I think I'm hooked to their songs, I actually bought their Limited edition album which consists of a DVD of music video and also a Photo Book.. LOL!!! No idea why I need a photo book of them but hell, their music rocks.. I NEVER LIKED GOTHIC/ROCK SONGS BUT NIGHTMARE TOTALLY CHANGE MY PERCEPTION.. Maybe because their Japanese Rock Band.. YEAH, I think so..

And also L'Arc-en-Ciel's Latest album titled "Kiss" released last November.. It's a bit late but hell, their songs are nice too.. but I prefer Nightmare to L'Arc-en-Ciel.. muahahaha...

Yesterday..

Dinner with the classmates and Mr Verma was nice.. Went to Tambuah Mas Indonesian cuisine restaurant at Marina Square.. It's been a while since we met up with Mr Verma and I'm glad to say that he's still well..

Friday..

Woke up super early to ccompany Mother for her annual full-body check-up at Jurong Polyclinic.. Spent 3 hours of rotting in there.. After-effects of visiting the polyclinic.. I didn't go for my Prayers cause I felt a bit sick myself.. So I wandered around for a while before deciing to meet my Boss at RP..

Met up with Jill and Nurul for a movie - What Happens In Vegas.. damn.. Nurul and I were LOL-ing big time.. If the floor was available, I think both of us would be ROFL as well.. Like I guessed, I was the loudest in there.. THANK YOU!!!

Had Anatolia for dinner.. Man, it was extremely filling.. Nurul left after dinner and Jill and I went for an hour of pool.. Then we head back home..

OUH DID I MENTION THAT, THAT MORNING, MY BROTHER TOLD ME HE'S NOT GOING FOR MY GRADUATION CEREMONY..

Well, what can I say.. I just replied,"Okay lor..". If it was a friend my reply would just be,"Orh..".

Anyway, like what I told Jill,"My life is so insignificant mah.. It's just me graduating mah.. Graduate also from Poly only.. Not as important as their daily jobs mah.."

Kinda true yeah.. My life is super insignificant in this family.. No moral support in my life.. EVER..

No such thing as,"I'm proud of you."
No such thing as,"We'll support you all the way."
No such thing as,"I'll be there when you need me."

If only Father was still around..
I wonder how this family would be like..

I know it'll definitely be different, cause when he was still around, he had control and he was there everytime we needed him..

Thursday.. A very special day for me..

Firstly, I get to go for Band practice.. I get to play both the Trumpet and the French Horn.. So happy.. Playing music just soothe me so much so that I simply forget anything and everything that's negative around me..

Secondly, I get to spend some time with my Bo Chup Family members for dinner and also hanging out at TW's house after dinner.. Tonight's topic of discussion was pretty exciting.. I love this type of topic.. Too bad WX is not around.. He could have blasted a lot of his emotions.. hahaha.. We had a couple of topics to chat about.. We planned to leave at 11:45pm but we were too engrossed in the topic that we didn't realise that it was already 12 midnight..

Anyway, one of the topics was about family.. hahaha.. Yup, FAMILY.. Fantastic topic to chat about man.. I conclude that getting married after 30 is so not what I want.. hahaha.. Too big the generation gap between Father and Son/Daughter, might or will deteriorate ties between us.. HAHAHA!!! You can call me Paranoid or Crazy but I seriously feel that way with reference to what I've been through with my family..

My mom's 60 now and I've just turned 21... That's 39 years gap!!! WOAH!!! If I got married at 30 and got my 1st child by 31, when he/she is 21, I'm gonna be 52!!! THAT'S TOO OLD!!! I can't be going out and spending time with my son/daughter 1-on-1 when we're 30+ years old gap!!! IT'S A NIGHTMARE!!! I wanna be those HIP and up to the trend Father.. LOL!!! Well, at least in the same frequency as my child and still not hag a wide generation gap..

Or at least look young while spending some 1-on-1 time with him/her.. hahaha.. Guess I have to be more health conscious and take more priority about my looks.. LOL!!! VAIN!!! METROSEXUAL!!! LOL!!!

Anyway, I actually got myself L'Arc~en~Ciel album on 9th May but didn't get to update.. Album name is Awake released in 2005.. Has some nice tunes to it but not as hardcore as Nightmare.. hahaha... I'll be getting another band's album tomorrow... hehehe..

wow.. Long time no update.. Well, there isn't much to update but the most crucial update i have to post is..

MY LAPTOP DIED ON ME!!!

I was happily surfing the net when the laptop just froze and the screen went beserk before the blue warning page popped up to inform me that windows is shutting down to prevent any damage.. and the file that was causing this serious error is named "atizdvaq".. Like WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT?!?!?!?

enhem, anyway, thank God for sister's laptop's password-less account, I can use it when she's not around.. LOL!!

Anyway, I'm bored.. Still the same routine every day..

Wake up

I just had alumni band practice earlier on.. I don't know why but I cannot play well when I'm playing alone or practicing alone.. But when there's someone playing together with me, I can play better..

Is it the motivation I get while playing together or is it just ego, like I must show the other person I can play too..

Just now played Horn with YR!!! Like finally.. Tried Flying high with her.. The 2nd page melody sounds super nice when we play together.. LOL!!! When she's around I can play notes like F and G easily!! She must have some AURA around her..

Maybe it's just me but I feel that my trumpet skills are deteriorating.. Damn!! Been playing horn for the past few months; neglecting my trumpet.. LOL!!!

Thing is, I would really like to be more professional with my trumpet.. But at the same time, I want to improve myself with the horn.. So when there's concert or something, I can choose which instrument I want to play for which piece.. LOL!!!

Anyway, I feel that I need to stop horn for a while and start playing my trumpet.. I get tired easily now when I play the trumpet.. Need to regain my staina..

COMPLAIN/RANT/BURST - ING POST!!!

I'M SUPER PISSED. TO THE EXTEND THAT I FEEL LIKE JUST SHOUTING OUT ALL THAT I WANT TO SAY AND JUST SMASH THE FREAKING DOOR BEHIND ME AND LEAVE THE STUPID HOUSE!!!

Scenario 1:

Time was 1AM IN THE FREAKING MORNING and I was enjoying my cup noodle while watching some cartoon on tv. My brother went to fetch his wife from work. Upon returning back, he unlocked the gate and the door with his bunch of keys. After entering, they both simply walked into their room leaving the door WIDE OPEN and the gate UNLOCKED!!! IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO JUST LOCK THEM UP AFTER YOUR ENTER?!?!?!?!?! ALL YA GOTTA DO IS TO TURN THE KEY CLOCKWISE ONCE, I REPEAT, ONCE AND YOU CAN GO DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE AFTER THAT!!! BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... YOU PREFER TO JUST WALK AWAY AND LET OTHER PEOPLE DO THE LOCKING!!!! Soon enough, mother woke up from her sleep and was on the way to the washroom when she asked me why isn't the door closed. I said I didn't open them and it was brother who came back but didn't lock them, besides, I was busy enjoying my meal. Sure enough, she gave me a scolding for not closing the door. I was like.............. *&^%$#@##$%*(*&^%&$#$%#%#$%^&^$%# IT WASN'T ME OKAY?!?!?!? GO SCOLD THE OTHER SON OF YOURS!!!

Well, I wished I could say that but I didn't actually say that but IT WAS TEMPTING AND IT WAS BOILING INSIDE ME TO JUST SHOUT IT OUT..
But since it was 1AM in the morning and it's my mom I'm talking to, I had to be polite so I just took everything in..

That night, I had to listen to my playlist of SOOTHING MUSIC. The last time I played that playlist was when I was studying for my exams in February.. I exhausted all 20 songs and still was boiling inside.. MY BLOOD KEPT BOILING and I didn't get some sleep until 5AM!!!!! FUCK!!!

That's what happens when I get really pissed + angry..
I'm in my extreme-cursing mode..

Scenario 2:

My other brother has disgusting and irritating and annoying habits..

1) He likes.. no, no... HE LOVES to close the toilet cover after he shits.. And CONVENIENTLY FORGETS TO FUCKING FLUSH THE TOILET!!!

When I advise him not to close the cover after he's done, he screams at me... WTF!!! He screamed back that I do forget to flush too.. Well I gave him a piece of my mind and shoot back "AT LEAST I DON'T FORGET TO FLUSH AS OFTEN AS YOU!!!"

I wanted to add the word asshole at the back but I remembered I'm not talking to a friend.. Cuz if it's a friend, CB + NB + the F word + bastard + the female dog + asshole + asswipe treatment will be given without mercy..

Scenario 3:

Being the last child in the family sucks. Cuz mother would always asks favours from me.. It's okay if she spreads it out and asks the others to do it sometimes, ya know.. But she turns to me everytime for the same thing again and again.. Gosh!!! AM I THE ONLY ONE LIVING IN THIS HOUSE?!?!?

Haiz... anyone wanna marry me? so that i can get the hell out of this crazy house.. hahahaha...

Well anyway, if you guys actually read the above, I am truly sorry for wasting 5-10mins of your life... I just had to scream it out and this is the best place cuz who the hell would wanna listen to my complains anyway...

Anyway, this month I've been busy planning for 2 outings with 3 of my former teachers before the boys go serving the Nation.. It's been a long journey since our secondary school days but I still think that my secondary school years are the best 5 years of schooling life I have ever had.. If I can have just 1 wish, I'd wish to go back to the year 2000; back to my secondary school years..

I think I'll dig out all the old pictures.. HAHAHA!!! post some up here for laughter sake..

Lastly, MY TAGBOARD IS VERY LONELY.. Anyway visitors, please do elave a tag behind so that I know people actually visit and read my blog... hahahha... thanks..

My brother bought Grand Theft Auto IV 2 days ago.. AN I'M HOOKED TO THE GAME.. IGN gave the game a full 10/10 rating.. You guys have to try it to know why it gets 10/10 rating.. Cool Shit..

Anyway, I had watched a couple of Ellen DeGeneres' show and there's always a small competition between 2 persons from the audience competing for a trip to somewhere.. BUT what I don't understand is why have a competition when both competing audience gets to go for the trip.. -.-" Just to waste film and our time by 5 mins?? HAHAHA!!!

Anyway, The Last Samurai will be showing on Channel 5 this Sunday.. So, I WON'T GO OUT ON SUNDAY!!! I love the show.. Not sure why but the show is just so philosophical that it makes me wanna watch it again and again.. I think I blogged about this movie before..

Update for the blog.

26th April 2008..
Time: 7:30am

Woke up thanks to the alarm clock instead of a wake up call from a friend.. LOL!! The plan was to spend the afternoon at Escape Theme Park.. So I took off from home at 9:30am and took the train to Pasir Ris.. Had a butt cramp upon arrival.. LOL!!

Initially, we plan to spend our day there till bout 3pm but since there wasn't much to do there, we went off at 2pm. Had KFC for lunch and headed down to Bugis and got myself some comics..

After that purchase, I decided to walk around town. Walked around Cineleisure and then Heeren.. Walked around HMV and got myself a CD..

Artist: Nightmare
Album: The World Ruler
Language: Japanese
Genre: Gothic/Rock

Sounds not bad.. Kinda hooked on a couple of the songs.. Cool shit..

Anyway, the ultimate plan for Saturday was to celebrate Aringi's Birthday which falls on the next day, Sunday.. We had Ramen Ten for dinner.. Ordered the Japanese Paper Hotpot.. Delicious dinner.. I like.. hehehe..

So anyway, after dinner, we wanted to catch a movie but there were no more early slots other than midnight slots so we changed plan and walked to Plaza Singapura for some coffee.. Took the last train home and also the last bus when I reach Boon Lay interchange..

Arrived home at about 1245.. Upon opening the door, my eyes caught something on the table; a letter with "On Government Service" printed on it.. Flipped it over and the MOE stamp was on it.. My heart sank a bit.. Emptied my pockets and sat on the sofa.. My fingers slowly tear along the sealed envelope and removed the content.. I was praying so hard and I can feel my heart beat faster.. Nervous and anxious.. There's a 50/50 chance of getting my admission.. Hence the letter should start with either 'I am pleased to inform you' or 'We regret to infom you'..

I unfold the sheet of paper and read the 1st line.. After waiting since March 27th, the letter read, "I am pleased to inform you"..
I smiled so wide that I felt like the happiest person on Earth..

It was worth the 2 months of waiting.. Now, all I need to do is to to reply the acknowledgment slip and pass my Entrance Proficiency Test..

Countdown: 6 years to be a certified Teacher.. hehehe.. But somehow, Mr. Azhar doesn't sound quite right.. hahaha!!!

One of my favourite songs that will last forever in my playlist.
Duet by Marc Anthony and Tine Arena for the Soundtrack of The Legend of Zorro.

Here's the Lyrics.

I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You

Moon so bright, night so fine
Keep your heart here with mine
Life's a dream we are dreaming

Race the moon, catch the wind
Ride the night to the end
Seize the day, stand up for the light

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do

Heroes rise, heroes fall
Rise again, win it all
In your heart, can't you feel the glory?

Through our joy, through our pain
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance with me

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I could spend my lifetime loving you

Though we know we will never come again
When there is love, life begins
Over and over again

Save the night, save the day
Save your love, come what may
Love is worth everything we pay

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my life time loving you

(Lyrics extracted from : Link)

It came to mind when I heard it from the security guards' radio at Pioneer Mall. Made me sing the song all the way to my doorstep.

Now, people who know me knows that I don't really go for Branded stuff. It's not because they are well known that I want to own them but instead the quality of it is good to last me a long while... for example my Mambo Sling bag. LOL!!! used it for like 4 years? Gosh.. That's an investment!!! Depreciation per year on a straight line basis is 20 bucks..

So anyway, back to what I wanted to blog about. I was visiting the Band on Friday since they cheated my feeling by canceling Thursday's practice and depriving me from getting close to my instruments. So this Junior of mine, Jasmine, she very cute de.. petite, small eyes, always smile then the eyes disappear.. LOL!! so the conversation went like this

J: "What brand is your t-shirt?"

A: "Quicksilver."

J: "Jeans?"

A: "Quicksilver."

J: "Bag?"

A: "Billabong."

J: "Shoes?"

A: "Nike."

J: "Socks?"

A: "Nike. Almost all branded one, except my specs and my underwear."

J: "HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHA!!!"

And I was wearing my Swatch watch that day. On other days, I would be wearing my Adidas watch. AND FYI, Both watches are birthday presents. Mind you. I don't really so for fancy watches. The only watch I bought for myself was my Fossil watch.

So yeah.. Nowadays, people are so rich to own such good quality - not forgetting, branded - stuff. Actually, I can buy more clothes and accessories for myself. BUT I choose to divert the money to games... LOL!!! Last month bought 3 PSP games and 1 PC Game.. That's how hardcore I am when it comes to games.. LOL!!! these 4 totalled to about $240.. I could have spent it on t-shirts and jeans or shoes but noooooooo~~~~~~ I spent it on Games.. LOL!!!

Hmmm... now, I think I should really cut down on my game expenditure... I have 2 NDSL Games, 3 PSP Games, 2 XBOX360 Games and 2 PC Games yet to be completed... I think I shall stop my spending for games and complete these 9 games 1st... LOL!!!

Anyway, met up with Alvin to get a game at GameScore. AGAIN. 3rd game this month!!! So anyway, got myself Crisis Core : Final Fantasy VII. Cool game. Nice graphics too.

Today was a day of slackering. I was at home the whole day. Went out around 5:30 to meet up with a buyer. While I was enjoying myself in one corner around Boon Lay MRT Control Station listening to some hella good music on my N81 8GB phone, TW, Dinie and Liyanah approached me. LOL!!! Guess what, TW took half day just to get present for me. SO SWEET of him. Anyway, THANKS a LOT for the very advance gift!!! I like it... hehe... My 1st present!!!

So the gift was shared by 4 people, those 3 mentioned above plus Haizul. And my 1st birthday greeting/wish came from TW as well. No no, not Tiac Woo the TW, but from my poly's CCC's TW, Te Wei!! He was afraid he forgot my birthday so he messaged me in advance. LOL!!!

I have plenty to update!

Firstly, about my interview for NIE. It was okay. As usual, my nervous voice went on and off on certain questions. And as usual, afte the interview, I always think back and tell myself, I should have elaborated on that, I should have added in a few points, I should have this, I should have that. But I really hope that I get accepted.

Secondly, MY X-MEN VS SENTINEL #3 ARRIVED THIS MORNING!!! Muahaha... It looks awesome... Damn, initially, my plan was to buy and sell it off. But after seeing it in front of my every eyes, it looked too good to let go... HAHAHA!!! I'll think about it first... If it could fetch me a couple thousand, I'll let it go... hehe...

Kane's Wrath was released on Monday. I am now a proud owner of both the Razer Mantis Gaming Mouse Pad and the Razer Deathadder Gaming Mouse. Muahahaha... Now, you shall feel Azhar's Wrath!!! Muahahaha...

When I heard it for the first time, I was not terrified but instead I was amazed at his range of vocal... And he can even do a vibrato at such range... Do check it out!!! But for those who hates a wailing ghostly scream, you've been warned...

Well, allow me to update about something good that happened yesterday.

I received a letter and the front of the envelop states "On Government Service". Wahhh, my initial reaction is, "Die, enlistment letter liao". But then I realise, if it was enlistment, it wouldn't be in such a normal envelop but those MINDEF sealed Private & Confidential envelope.

Turn the envelope and my eyes caught on the stamp, it tates Recruitment Unit. Again, double confirm, sure enlistment letter. BUT I didn't see what's the return address and just tear open the seal. Removed the letter and unfold it. A logo that I really wanted to see, together with the slogan - Moulding the Future of our Nation. Wahhh...

I got shortlisted for an interview for BSc (Edun) which is Bachelor in Education (Science). I really hope that I am able to convince and appeal to the interviewer. LOL!!

Ouh, and my brother supported me even when he had no clue that I applied for teaching. HAHAHA...

So yeah, I really hope I can do well for the interview. Wish me luck!!

I've asked around my friends from different courses bout their results, most of them got like 3.5 and above... LIKE WTF?

I think ACC is a very challenging diploma... Like say for each semester, there's only 1 calculation module and the rest are theory modules... Only at rare semesters, there'll be 2 calulation module... Argh... I hope my GPA is good enough for my entry to NTU... Haiz... Really praying super hard...

But when sitting for Common tests and Exams, it seems to be very easy... Haiz...

But after all this, I can't believe that I passed all the theory modules thrown to me for the past 3 years... omg...

KAWAII NEH!!!!!

Pikachu and Pochama Soda DRINK!!!
From Pokemon Center in Japan.
If I have the chance to go there, I think 1 big trolley not enough.

One more time
KAWAII NEH!!!!!

Okay now back to the topic I wanna blog about.
Exam results are out and I PASSED ALL!!! And that's all the matters!!!
Grades don't mean a thingwhen you're in third year cause you just wanna freaking pass and get out from the school with your well deserved Diploma!!!

So anyway, my results suck...
GPA = 2.791
Cumulative = 3.016
whatever... hahaha...

Got 1 of the games I list down earlier, God of War : Chains of Olympus... Cool shit...

You know those earphones that you have to shove into your ear, or what I like to describe as earphones that F your ears. One of the rubber thingy dropped when I was taking it ot from my pocket and thanks to the super grey pavement, it helped camouflaged it. So, instead of leaning down and trying to search for that small insignificant rubber and making people around me staring and wondering what the F I was doing, I just placed the earphones back into the pocket and got a new one. LOL!!!

The new earphones are better!! Sound quality is shiok. The bass especially..

Anyway, I saw someone play this cute game titled Patapon. From the makers of Locorocco, it looks so cute and the graphics are simple yet 'eye-capturing', if there's such a word. Looks like I might get it.

ARGH!!! I simply can't resist cute stuff... Gosh... Someone help?

I have been an avid viewer of Hell's Kitchen and seriously, I strongly feel that Virginia is not as good as she truely is.

I would definitely agree that she is exceptionally good at individual challenges BUT when it comes to service time, she totally breaks down. She had been on the chopping board for 5 times and had been nearly eliminated twice in the game.

The best should be Sara, Heather and Keith. That would have been a great battle in Hell's Kitchen. hahaha... But, that's my opinion. No intention of any defamation. LOL!!!

Anyway, I took a quiz for "What Major is right for you?" at http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=35647N

And here's my results:

WHAT MAJOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
You scored as a Biology/Chemistry/Geology
You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, or related majors (e.g., Biochemistry, Environmental Science, Forestry, Fisheries and Wildlife, Genetics, Marine Biology, Zoology).

It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it.

Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests. Please post your results in your myspace/blog/journal.

Biology/Chemistry/Geology 100%
Education/Counseling 88%
Physics/Engineering/Computer 81%
Mathematics/Statistics 75%
HR/BusinessManagement 69%
French/Spanish/OtherLanguage 69%
Religion/Theology 63%
History/Anthropology/LiberalArts 63%
Visual&PerformingArts 56%
Accounting/Finance/Marketing 50%
Nursing/AthleticTraining/Health 50%
PoliticalScience/Philosophy 50%
Psychology/Sociology 44%
English/Journalism/Comm 38%

Hehehe... I'm such a Science guy... Why in the freaking world did I chose Accountancy in the first place as my poly diploma... Haiz...

I would agree my best Majoring is the 2nd or 3rd but not the 5th... LOL!!!
Ouhhh, I hope my NTU application got through... Oh dear God, please...

Okay.. As many people know, My life revolves around games.. So here's a little insight of what I am targeting or am already playing for the month of March.

Nintendo DS Lite:

Apollo Justice : Ace Attorney

This is the forth installment to the popular Phoenix Wright trilogy. This game was first recommended my a friend and I got hooked immediately by it's unique gameplay. Initially a Gameboy Advance Game, it was then remake to be played on the DS Lite.

In this continuation, Phoenix is no longer the main character of the game. Instead, a new uprising Attorney, Apollo Justice takes his place.

The gameplay is simple yet requires much thinking. As the title suggest, this game is based on a lawyer's prospective.

Nice storyline, good gameplay and quite interactive with all the investigation using the stylus. I love this game.

PlayStation Portable:

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

From the trailers I saw, I told myself,"I must get this game!". The graphics is superb. The gameplay looks exceptionally good. The storyline should be very interesting.

I was on my way to school for my CCA's Annual General Meeting when is this guy, a seat away, playing this game. Of course it is the Japanese Version. And it looks super cool. So, yeah.. I'm definitely getting it!!

God of War : Chains of Olympus

Another GREAT game to get. The trailers were super fantastic and I can't wait to get this game. All the fighting moves and the graphics simply amaze me. Due to the fact that I was not able to play the first 2 games because it was released on the PlayStation 2 console, I am super pumped up to play it on the PSP now.

Finally, my PSP is out of hibernation in the drawer!! LOL!!!

Something interesting I received in my email from a friend. Finally I can like properly explain what's the definition of Halal. And also, why we can't eat pork/ham. Also discovered that the Bible too, does notallow for consumption of pigs. Hmmm, but why are people eating them?

Once again, Bo Chup Family outing was a success!!! All thanks to ME!!! And Shuting!!! *crowd cheers wildly*

Was a very sad day to start. Initially, jm, hd and ys said they can go but last min, things cropped up and they were unable to attend. Meeting at JE was sad also, initially was suppose to meet with the people mentioned above together with tw, hx, ht, ck and me. But ended up only tw, hx and me.

For a moment there, I thought," ouh man... not many people will turn up for this.." However, there were 9 of us there. There's yr, tw, wx, ck, ht, jy, st, hx and me. Bout almost 11 plus to 12, yr, ht and hx went off leaving the 6 of us there.

BBQ-ed using those aluminium foil trays. LOL!!! Cuz like a bit last min and then we figured since we're camping around the trays, a small bbq session would suffice. It turn out to be a great idea. making a circle and bbq-ing around the 2 small trays... and we used up only 1 packet of charcoal. SAVE MONEY!!! hahaha... It felt so very family-oriented... very warm feeling... just 1 thing that was not right was that were sitting on newspapers... -.-"

TENT SESSION!!! Shuting and I brought the tents and guess what, we used st's tent to store our bags and mine to slack cause it was spacious enough... LOL!!! SO FUN LOR!!! initially it was quite boring ar.. nothing to talk about and nothing to do... even though i brought a travel-sized monopoly and psp and ndsl and jengga, we were just simply quite lazy to do anything and slack... Until we took out the jengga tower and played in the tent!!!

Positioned on the most flattest and stable spot we can find in the middle, we started pulling out the tiles one at a time. SHIOK ar!!! the tower leaned back and forth and eventually came crashing down once on tw and another on st i think.. LOL!!! then we played TRUTH or TRUTH... okay fine... we just wanted to dig out our secrets... so we played all this from after midnight till 630!!! SHIOK AR!!!

Anyway, packed up and headed home with tw and wx in a cab... slept for 2 freaking hours and off I went to work at suntec... I almost dieded working... but thanks to the jokes and laughs, i manage to stay awake throughout the whole day...

LEE HONG JOO JEREMY!!! You should have attended the outing!!! hahaha... but we understand your shit schedule is pretty shitty... Hope you can attend our next outing!!!

5th April 2008, Saturday, to 6th April 2008, Sunday... KEEP THESE DAYS FREE ALL BO CHUP FAMILY MEMBERS AND THE USUAL INVITED GUESTS (you know who you are)!!!

We didn't manage to take a lot of pictures like previous outings because

1) we are not situated in a light-exposure environment

2) we are not using the normal bbq pits

3) our bbq-ing are on the floor, seated.. unlike previously, we were walking around the pit area

4) rui didn't camwhore like all other outings

5) rui went home early *pouts with puffed cheeks*

6) no one brought camera

7) no one used their phones to take pictures

BUT I did snap a couple of candid shots and ST used my phone to take a couple of pics of herself too...

Isolation. That's what my Nintendo DS Lite, PSP and XBox 360 felt for the past 3 months. But since 4pm earlier today, my NDSL was activated once again. The most wonderful sound to hear coming from that small ice-blue device - the starting 6 double-tones gradually fading away - brought life back into me. And guess what cartridge was slot in... it was OUENDAN 2!!!

Gosh, I played all the songs at least once! How I missed the gaming world! I also made a HORRIFIC discovery, I've been so lost in touch from the world that I have5 games to buy with 2 more to be released in March!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Worse part is, I don't have the spending power. ouh the agony of deprivation!!!

Okay, drama aside, there's always old games. yeeeeeaaaahhhh riiiight... Like I've completed all/most of them already. Shit. But heck, it's been a long while since I touch those games, I might find them exciting again!!

Anyway, GAMES aside, let me evaluate about my exams!
1) Company Law - Open book... Was suppose to be easy but guess what, I spent 1 hour on qn 1a and 1b... these 2 have a total of 30 marks. Gosh that was HELL... Hands sore after the paper...

2) Auditing 2 - A Hell lot of memorising... Vomited all the facts out for the paper... Hopefully it makes sense...

3) Taxation 2 - Pretty easy... Just that the tutor might find it fun to screw us up by twisting the question a bit here and there... but overall, it was an okay paper...

4) Advance Financial Accounting - Cashflow was totally stupid... Didn't know where my perfect skills in cashflow disappeared to... I manage to get 23/24 for my Common Test with 1 stupid careless mistake... that's how good my cashflow was... keyword: WAS... shit... totally screwed... BUT nevertheless, I manage to balance off my Translation and Consolidation questions which totals up to 70 marks... 2 qns 70 marks... CRAZY PAPER!!!
3 qns - 1 = 30 marks, 1 = 20 marks, 1 = 50 marks!!!

5) Principles of Marketing - Last minute memorising done... Started at about 10pm on friday night and manage to memorise all by the 11am on saturday... Paper starts at 2pm that day... LOL!!! Expect to see a sudden burst of WHITE HAIR for Post-Effect...

Overall, exams are pretty good... Hopefully I did well for all 5 and get to GRADUATE from school... I can't wait to go up the stage to receive my Diploma... ouh man... FINALLY! Something more valuable... LOL!!!

Anyway, I'm out of money people... Kindly treat me every now and then... ESPECIALLY those who I USUALLY treat most of the time... Dont hurt my feelings... I'm really in the worst financial position right now...

BUT! I made myself happy by buying a new game for my NDSL today!!!
APOLLO JUSTICE!!! OBJECTION!!!

Have you been in a situation where you need to tell someone something important? But afraid that it would somehow affect the situation?

I believe everyone had at least once in their life experience such dilemma. Some secrets are meant to be kept to yourself. Some are meant to be shared with someone you trust the most. But there is still the uneasy feeling of telling even someone you trust because you're afraid that him/her would not accept the secret and in turn change the course of the relation with you.

There are many secrets I kept ever since primary school. Even in secondary school, most of my friends were not aware regarding my family background. My closest clique in secondary, they knew bout my family background only like last year and I felt very uncomfortable telling them bout it.

When I am faced with these feelings, it's sad to say that I am unable to share them with many people. I don't have a best friend to talk with. I don't have a very close friend who knows about me or my family background inside out. I don't have a childhood friend. I don't have a friend whom I can fall back on. I don't have a friend whom I can talk with 1 on 1.

I always see such perfect friendship, such everlasting friendship, such trust between friends in movies and tv and always wonder if such thing does exist in life. Someone you trust with your life.

I like to watch sad movies. I don't know why Especially those with the love triangle. You know, like, 2 guys going for 1 girl or 1 guy loves the girl but the girl loves the other guy. Maybe it always gives me the hope that such story does exist. That's the beauty of it all. I might not have the chance to experience such perfect and wonderful friendship as seen from movies but I believe somewhere out there, 2 friends are going through it.

I just watched Eternal Summer. I know it was sort of like a gay movie but the main message, I believe was not that, but acceptance and trust between childhood friends. The ending was superb, I felt. One of them confessed he liked the other. The other replied that he is and will still be his best friend. I admiit I teared a couple of times throughout the movie.

Another movie that I would recommend to watch is The Classic. I think it was a 2001 Korean movie. It has the plot about 2 childhood friends who falls in love with 1 particular girl. I got a bit too emotional on this movie that I bought not only the DVD but the soundtrack as well. Highly recommended for those who loves sad movies.

So now my friends know, I simply love sad movies. Movies that makes me cry. Movies that makes me believe such thing does exist somewhere out there. Movies that sets me thinking about the beauty of life itself.

Been a while since I update. There's actually a lot I want to update but sometimes when I sit down and start to write something, the idea just went POOFF!!!

But when I'm sitting or lying on bed, I feel like updating something...

Anyway, I WANT TO START COLLECTING SIMPSONS TV SERIES!!! and not the ones with the cover of each of the Simpsons' HEAD. Doesn't look nice compared to those with the whole family on the tv screen of the cover.

I'm going crazy over Simpsons. I saw the Simpsons' version of CLUEDO and just fell in love with it but sadly no money to buy. SAD!!! And also the Monopoly version!!! SAD SAD SAD!!!

Can someone just accidentally transferred a couple of thousand bucks into my account???

When I think about what career I want to establish, I take a look around me and wonder...

Everyday I see people working in retail line. Not as in those high positions, but front line service provider retailers with the lowest pay in the whole company. I observed on daily/weekly routine to see the same person working there for years now. They seem to be working happily and they like what they do irregardless of the low pay. I may not know, maybe they can't afford for higher education or they simply don't want to further their study and takes simple jobs to sustain their expenditures.

Another example I see daily is bus drivers. I've been taking 243W almost everyday of my life since i moved to St 65 and I recogised this particular bus captain. He's been working even before I moved, I guess, and he still is. Well, maybe he likes the job; driving the same route daily or maybe he feels if he job hop now, he won't get a job for sure. But whatever the reason is, he is contented with what he's getting monthly and I believe he's living a good life.

Sometimes I wonder, should I work my ass off everyday at work, neglect my social life, neglect my family, neglect all other interaction other than my colleagues to earn big bucks every month OR be contented with a fairly low pay but enjoying life's greatest gift of friends and family.

I remember my secondary school buddy gave me an article to read. The title was," Money is a failed system". It's a good read and it changed my perspective slightly. Well, i read it during secondary school so I was still immature in thinking. But soon, forgotten about it.

Looking back now, I realise that, Yes, it's true, I can enjoy life without having such luxurious high paying jobs which forbids you from having social contacts. Mind you, networking and social circle are 2 different group of people. So, why do I sometimes have such mentality that high paying job settles everything?

I've been thinking about my life since I started my attachment in February last year. Almost 1 year later, and I still have got no clue to where the path of my life will lead me to.

Had a conversation with a close friend previously. She asked me what my ambition was when I was young. Gosh, she got me thinking. There's a lot of things I want to do and I want to be. I want to be a Scientist. I want to be a Pilot, I want to be a Teacher but certainly not a Doctor. And look at where I am not, studying Accountancy, which is not my forte.

Biggest regret in life? Probably... Greatest step in life? Maybe...

And then I thought about Passion. What motivates me, what drives me, what gave me the get-up-and-go mood, even though I'm tired and lethargic?

To name a few, Music. Playing the trumpet and trying to learn a new instrument. I went to a friend's concert, Mr Leonard Tan was conductor. I began to think to myself, "Wow, he's really passionate about his work. Best of all, he's enjoying every moment of it."

Teaching. I love to teach people. Ever since I started studying with my friends for O levels at the library, people kept asking me to teach them. Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Geography. And I was always pause my work to teach them 1st. Furthermore, I am still veuyr much in contact with my English, Physics and Maths teacher. When they say they feel very honoured and happy that their former class still keeps in contact with them and ask them out for outings, I totally understand their feeling.

My maths teacher shared with us his experience. He went back to India in November and his class of 1967 managed to contact him. They held a gathering just for him after all these years. He said a couple of them are Majors in the army and a couple of them are Pilots. WOW... Such impact a teacher can make in someone's life. After all those years, they still remembered him as a high school maths teacher; someone who stepped into their lives and left such a deep impression.

I believe he enjoyed his life to the fullest. Achieved many goals. Conquered all obstacles.

Will you leave a lasting impression of yourself on someone's life?
Or will you be just another normal employee who works for the sake of getting money?

A lot of experience this past 2007. Cool year but I think it was the worse year for me though. More downs than ups. What can I say? Just have to accept fate.

Anyway, some big/important events I can remember quite well.

January:
I totally forgotten bout Jillian's birthday... she kinda like scolded me with an sms...
Open house was enjoyable... was a representative for ACC diploma and performed for malay dance... cool day... might do again this year...

February:
Start of my attachment after only 1 week of holiday...

March:
Think nothing much happened here...

April
My Birthday!!! which didn't really celebrated much... quite sad... didn't get man presents... expected... nvm... hope this year is different...

May:
Our dearest Ms Maslinda got married... so honoured to attend her wedding ceremony... thank you for inviting us 5N1...

June:
Peak Period... had outings and gatherings and family trip to Genting and KL shopping... went crazy!!! spent almost RM900 there...

July:
Nothing here...

August:
End of attachment and signed up for relief teaching...

Sept:
Relief teach for the whole month... was a very memoriable experience... made me re-think my path in life... where i wanna set my career on... maybe... a big question mark...

October:
School reopens... was happy to see friends again but the workload was piling as well...

November:
Stress level sky-rocketed... other than that, nothing big happened...

December:
Totally wasn't prepared for CT but went through it smoothly... had a couple of catch-ups with bo chups, band members and 5N1... 6 projects to finish...

Overall, 2007 was pretty bad for me...

I was at my lowest in everything this past year...
Money... I don't know what happened to me or what I did to myself that there was an incident quite recently whereby my bank balance dropped to a mere dollar plus... I had no money to spend on food even... my wallet didnt even have $2... it was more like coins in small denominations... it was horrible i tell you... wont let myself be in that situation ever again... Change(s): minimum balance in bank has to be increased to at least $1000... new year resolution...

my spending had increase dramatically... for what stuff?? i have no freaking idea... maybe too many luxurious food and entertainment...? God knows where my money went to... Change(s): spend on necessities, save more for rainy days... save save save...

CCA has taken a big part of my time... wait, since when cca didnt take up most of my time? lol...happened in sec sch... and still happening now... oh well, at least it's something i like to do..

studies... ouh my god... i had totally deteriorated my skills to study... 6 months of attachment can have such impact on studying man...

Computer time had also increased... it used to be 1 or 2 hrs on average per day spent in front of the com... now i think it had increased to 4-5 hrs... seriosuly not good for my back, eyes, health... gotta do something about it...

Fitness... LOL!!! a big joke... told myself when semester starts, have to be discipline to start training... but guess what.. nothing done... 8 modules this final semester... 6 projects to be completed... maybe i shouldnt use that as an excuse BUT i'm a person who won't go less than 3GPA... i'm not stereotyping that active people are scoring less than 3 GPA... some even got ngee ann kong si award... but i'm someone who must be consistent in studies or i'll fail... so yeah... maybe when the 6 projects are over and less committment in cca, i can finally start... and I should... that's another change...

I would love to learn cooking man... if i can learn from my mom bout malay food... i wanna learn to bake more stuff than cookies and cupcakes... yup... i wanna learn to bake cakes... and brownies... yummmmy...

i think i rant a lot today... i might have more but time wont allow... needa catch-up on my sleep...

I actually don't have much to update. (pffft yeah right) Audit paper was dumb. (it really was) I went to understand (pffft!!!) and memorise 5 chapters at 8am of the day of the paper at 1:30pm. (it's true!) POWER RIGHT? Well, my brilliant brain (yes, it's very brilliant) still serves me very well indeed that I manage to install all the information by 11:30am and off I go to school.

The moment I opened the paper, read the 1st line, I knew I was in super deep scheire. (like i can feel a whole ton of shit piling on top of me) Guess what? The questions set are cut-and-paste from tutorial questions. (WTF?!?!?) I went CRAZY like Bugs Bunny in Space deep inside. I felt like walking out the exam hall immediately. (yeah, like i can simply walk out like that)

So I went on to write essays on what I could still remember and finished the paper in 45mins. For a 1.5hrs paper, that's a lot of shit written down in such a short time. I literally vomitted/puked/barfed (choice of word makes no difference in any way you read as it makes the whole sentence a totally negatively expression of what i felt) all the information I had installed earlier that morning.

Well, now I have 2 weeks of break. (you wish azhar!!!) 6 Projects to complete, 1 day of performance to perform, 1 BIG event to start planning.

Never mind, it's cool. Thursday, outing with Bo Chups (CANT WAIT!!!) and Christmas, outing with ex malay band members (WOOTS!!!).

What I want for Christmas?

Sideshow exclusive X-Men vs Sentinel 3

New Handphone (which I am already going to get anyway)

LEGO STAR WARS PRODUCTS!!!

and of course,

MONEY!!!

WOW.. plenty to update... actually not update but to comment, complain and rant about...

Firstly, I want to update regarding my an experience I had when I watched a movie last week with Jillian. You see, there was a guy seated to my right and he was distracting me from my movie. It was 30 Days of Night, like I'm suppose to be super engrossed with it but thanks to him I had to keep leaning to the left, where Jillian was seated. Guess what? He was breathing though his mouth and maybe his nose was blocked I guess, and I must give him a 2 thumbs up for his bad breath quality. I'm very curious why the girlfriend did not say anything about his bad breath. Can you imagine if they had a kissing session? OMG!!! UTTERLY DISGUSTING SHIT!!!

And Jillian did not concentrat on the movie as wellas the guy behind her kept shaking her chair. So PEOPLE OF THE GREAT NATION OF SINGAPORE, PLEASE for the sake of everyone's convenience in watching movies, please SIT STILL!!! and BREATHE FROM YOUR NOSE!!!

Anyway, it's common test week for me, and I'm battling a very unprepared and unplanned war. All the best to me...

What else... hmmm, lemme see... ouh SEA Games is in, and WOW I would say... Thanks to Singapore Sports School, we are seeing younger athletes representing Singapore!!! as young as 17 years old? Yeah the recent female swimmmer who clinched gold for Singapore today... I think her name is Tao Lin? yeah... like WOW... 17 yr old pwning older atheletes... and getting rich at such a young age!!! man... If i remember correctly, gold medalists get like what, 250k? that's like 1/4 million liao... can that can last me like 10 yrs of my life without work??? Damn, maybe i should start looking into a sport and give my all and become Singapore's sportsmen... HAHAHA!!! YOU WISH AZHAR!!!

Keep dreaming... Well actually, it all boils down to PASSION and INTEREST... if ya ain't got both, it's time to switch your job/studies/path in life...

Man, dont be like me, making the wrong choice in life...

Life hasn't been on a roll for the past month. Nothing exciting is happening around me at all. I really mean nothing. No fun happenings, no meet-ups, no social life basically. And it's making my dull life even worse.

I'm missing my secondary school life so much I would give everything to re-live it again. All the fun and laughter in school with friends who truely defines the meaning of friendship.

Poly is so much different. And I pretty much hate it. There isn't many friends whom I can trust.

To make things worse, I made the biggest mistake in my life since I started poly.

Joke of the day:
A friend of mine came over to my house earlier today. My brother asked me,"Is he your schoolmate?" How I wish i can reply him this,"Ouh, no. I met him at the void deck and decided to ask him over to play video games with me." -.-"

Well, today went quite fast simply because Glenn was over at my house to enjoy a day of video games. Nothing but video games. But now I have to settle my tutorial for tomorrow. How boring...

Anyway, I went to the Career Fair at Suntec today with TW and we explored and enquire more about teaching. Was slightly disappointed because I found out that I would require minimum fundamentals of a poly diploma or relevant to be able to take up teaching in chemistry. hmmm... makes me think of pursuing it even more.

Well, I'm very much interested in this, but I'm not sure what my brother would say. Mom won't disagree with me in any way. She'll support me, I know she will. Problem is, my brother expects me to pursue in accounting, in which I kinda had lost interest in...

Fabulous start to a new semester. I'm glad chose the right tutor for my WISP module. He seems to be very knowledgeable. However, I got myself into a deep pile of Scheiße. Well, the tutor didn't really interact with us unlike the other.

Tax lecture was a disaster! All my knowledge of Tax 1, GONE!!! Lecturer was good but I heard blabbering. Scheiße!!! I need to revise my Tax.

Financial accounting was fabulous! Excellent lecturer!!! I like!!! I can foresee my results. LOL!!! However, Marketing was extremely boring. No more comments on that.

Haiz, what have I gotten myself into...

Whatever it is, I'm so gonna work super extra hard for this last semester. But not forgetting enjoying my last semester too!!! I'm going to go crazy this last semester!!!

No idea what to bring tomorrow

All the best to me!

Well, it has been a very tiring 2 days of celebration and visiting indeed, but enjoyable nevertheless.
School resumes later on and I forgot how to study. Happens when you've been away from books for a long period.

Now listening to:
Godot's Theme.
Gyakuten Saiban meets Orchestra Official Sountrack.

Well, I went blog hopping on Monday morning out of boredom as I had nothing to do. So, I went on to friend's blogs and read their posts and rants when I realise that my understanding and usage of the english language had seriously deteriorate.

I was actually amazed by one of my friend's blog especially. Why? Sinply because he will usually stutter whenever he speaks and from what I know, he didn't really speak good english. I'm feel embarrass all of a sudden.

So, I lazed around the house the whole afternoon before meeting up with Jill for a movie. We watched Resident Evil : Extinction. Cool movie but the ending was disappointing. Enough said.

Tuesday started with a phone call from mom at noon. Just checking on me to see if I'm awake. Got up, and searched for recipe to bake cookies online. Soon enough, I was out buying the ingredients. Started baking from 430 till 1130pm. HAHAHA... Well, I made 2 sets of the recipe and an additional Chocolate Cornflakes. Alas, I manage to make 5 plastic container full of cookies and 2 1/2 container of the cornflakes; all ready for Hari Raya I suppose.

Today was a good day. Achieved something at least. Better than lazing around the house not doing anything.

Somehow, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's dance practice even though Hari Raya is nearing and last minute cleaning had to be done.

Been doing a lot of thinking since Thursday. Partly about myself, partly about my life, partly about my future, partly about my family, partly about friends; just a lot of thinking.

Last Thursday was fun. Had alumni band and we sounded great, as usual, after which I rushed to school for camp and reached just slightly before 12 midnight. Well, initially I didn't want to go but a friend was there and I knew I needed to talk to someone and I knew she would lend me a listening ear. Friday and Saturday past fast and that "Ramadhan Camp" was over.

I'm actually kind of in a low self-esteem + low self-confidence mood. Thing is, I need to talk to someone but I don't really know what to talk about when I have someone to talk to. You know, like I need to talk to someone but I can't say it out. It's not because I'm afraid or I don't trust the person but I just can't say it out.

I'm going back to secondary school on Thursday regardless if there's band or not cause I want to meet a special teacher and give her a little something.

It's been a month since my first day of teaching and I think next week is going to be my last week. The students will start their End0of0Year examinations on Friday and from then on, I don't think they'll require any relief teachers as almost all the teachers should be very free for invigilation.

I must say it's been a great experience. I've taught Maths, Chemistry and Physics but yet to teach POA. Somehow, I don't feel like teaching POA even though I'm majoring in Accounting. HAHAHA!!!

Man, I guess I screwed up picking Accountancy as my poly diploma. =X

Anyway, it's been a great time spent teaching. Somehow I feel very enthusiastic about going to work every day. Something I didn't experience when undergoing my attachment as a junior auditor.

Initially, it was all about the money. But after just a week of teaching, I realise that I've accomplished more than what money can treat me. The feeling of being able to make students understand or make them more interested in a particular subject is indescribable.

It's only been 5 weeks of work and I've actually covered almost all the classes in the school! hahaha... Except, a couple. Here's a list of what I think about the lower sec classes.

1A: People said I made a fan club out of this class. HAHAHA... man do these kids like me a lot.
1B: Noisy class!!! But they like me a lot too simply because half the class are band members.
1C: Quiet class and very well behaved.
1D: Normal class but the boys are restless all the time and kept asking for more ghost stories.
1N1 & 1N2: Uncontrollable and needs shouting to gain control.
1T1: Totally Uncontrollable.
1T2: Happy go lucky class. No worries about anything.

2A: A bit of humour is enough to make the whole class LOL.
2B: Restless class. Noisy most of the time.
2C: Didn't have the chance to take them.
2D: Didn't have the chance to take them.
2N1, 2N2: Good classes. Eager to learn.
2T1: Another uncontrollable class but very interested in studying maths!

As for upper sec classes, most are very well behaved mainly because they're more matured and perhaps they are aware that their N & O levels are just around the corner. So, not much problems from them.

One of the many chances I got was being a PE teacher for 2 1/2 weeks as that particular teacher had to go for reservist. It was GREAT!!! Having the chance to not only mingle around with the students but to take part in the sports too. HAHAHA... YEAH!!!

But the Best moments are meeting up with all the previous teachers who had taught me. It feels great to see them again and working alongside them.

I'm going to miss all the students!!! Well, I'll be back next semester break!!! I'm very sure of this.

Results are out and I am very disappointed with it. I was awarded with a B+ for my 6 months attachment. How miserable can that be? Like, a B+ grade is only a couple of marks away from an A- grade and for some reason, apparently, someone forbids me from getting an A grade and get that one chance to score my Grade Point Average of 4...

Cruel World...

Nothing much to update other than I'm busy - forever busy - and I'm broke... No time and No money... The best combination in the world...

Well, look on the bright side... Ouh wait... I think I lost sight of it...

Right... I'm expecting about 1k to come in by this week... Yeah man... Finally got some spending to do... I know I made an earlier post to save up at least a couple of thousand by December... BUT, I gotta get me a new pair of specs and probably a new bag... I'm not sure if I should get a new bag now or in Oct before school reopens...

So yeah the specs are a must to get... I've been telling myself to get one since poly 1... LOL!!! and I havent done anything about it... I guess I'm gonna set a budget of 150 for it...

And maybe 100 for the bag...

Relief teaching was fun the previous 2 weeks... One of the teachers had to go for reservist and I took over his classes... I'm always looking forward to go for his sec 1 classes... I guess it's because they make me feel welcome and puts a smile on my face... Even though I'm just a relief teacher...

I'm gonna be extremely thrifty this month... Not gonna spend too much on FOOD from now till 13th when fasting month starts!!! YEAH!!! I'm sooooo excited... Fasting month... WOO HOO!!!

Now you might be thinking why I'm so excited about fasting month... And most would think it's because I can save up a lot of money on food... It's partially true BUT that's not the main reason... On this blessed month, I somewhat feel at peace and very much relaxed in any situation... Such feeling I only experience during Fasting month... Not sure why but I just feel good everyday...

Eventhough kinda like lost quite a significant amount of money due to calculation error, but I'm happy that I finally get a proper meet up of the BCF...

This week I mingled with the sec 1 exp classes a lot and I kinda like know most of them. Happened a couple of times where I have my break together with the lower sec recess time, and I was sitting alone down there, slowly one by one these little rascals joined me. hahaha... So, we have recess together and joked and laughed.

Ouh yeah, I got my Sideshow toy on friday, collected my mini busts on monday and the shipment of pikachu and pochama int he previous post arrived on monday as well. Those 2 looks so much cuter when I hold them in front of me. KAWAII!!!

Next week is school holiday!!! I was thinking of working partime at ST but I'm planning to teach till Oct 12th so I kinda like don't have a break if I proceed with the plan. But at the same time, I want earn more money... haiz... decisions decisions decisions..

Hokay, some stuff that I get irritated easily.

Have you ever tried to overtake some slow-moving human traffic who swings their arms as if they were marching and you got too close to them while trying to overtake them?

Well, it may sound a little wrong but hey, as most of my friends know, I am a fast pace walker and I love to overtake slow traffic. So shit happens and most of the time these swinging arms swung backwards and hit my *ENHEM ENHEM ENHEM* like ouch? but not like HOLY MOTHER F***!!! kinda ouch, but the OOUFF!!! kinda ouch... well, ya get me... and so my face would turn the other way round pretending as though the swinging arm didn't hit my brother.

So now, what I usually do is get behind them, close enough for the highest peak of the backward swinging of the pendulum arm, to hit my sling bag and have the joy of looking at their facial reaction, like "OUH SHIT DID I HIT HIS ____". Okay I'm kinda evil but people should have a resistance to swinging their arms like that you know. It's dangerous for us guys.

What's worse is when a group of people not knowing where to go and a smart ass suddenly stretch his arm behind and points his finger towards the other opposite direction poking someone in the freaking eye.

I had a close encounter earlier today on my way to work. As I was overtaking traffic, suddenly a hand reached out from my left. Thank God I was swift enough to dodge it and cursed out "F***!". Loud enough for the idiot to hear and glided through the crowd.

Don't you just hate it?

I ADDED A TAGBOARD!!! like finally... so regular people coming to my not-so-regularly-updated blog, do leave a message before you leave just to give me some hope that some people out there do visit my blog... LOL!!!

GOSH!!! I'm like updating my blog on a monthly basis already. Well, can't blame me for I had better things to do. Like FREAKING ATTACHMENT!!!

Anyway, I'm so glad it's over but I'm kinda like starting to miss the people I worked with. Hope to bump into them on the streets in the future. hahaha... I'm FREE!!! Free from the clutches of APT since friday when we submitted in ALL the documents for our project. But I think I'm like too free right now.

Well, I did sign up for relief teaching HOWEVER, I was told that JVSS does not take in relief teachers on a long-term basis (is 2 months considered long-term?) ANYWAY, I just hope JVS takes me up soon cause I'm super bored at home. (and super broke too!)

Actually, I have a lot of things that I want to do. I've been complaining that I do not have the time to do these stuff but now when I DO have the time, I don't have the money to do these stuff. LOL!!! GREAT!!!

So, I've been spending my time planning for 3 outings for my CCA and a chalet for Bo Chup Family. I might plan a dinner/bbq for my former secondary class too. HOWEVER, I have to make on before fasting month starts on the 14th of September.

Oh fasting month, I simply can't wait for it to come. The time for strict saving period simply because I cannot eat during the day! Yeah! Let me set a target, $1200 for that month. Seems reasonable. I shall strive for it. Just so to spend it all in one shot later on. LOL!!! Well like they say Y=AE (SHIT, I STILL REMEMBER FREAKING ECONS).

Ouh yeah, I started reading again. ROFL LOL LMAO!!! Well, I'm reading an autobiography of Elie Wiesel during the great holocaust in Auschwitz. Good book BUT I'm finishing it soon!!! HELP!!! Okay, I shall dig up my book cabinet in search of books I started but didn't manage to finish it. LOL!!! Lemme see... Pokemon... Phoenix Wright.... Star Wars... LOL!!! shit, I only have comics... LOL!!!

Perhaps I shall also finish up games that I bought but didn't manage to finish too. Yup, I guess that'll take up most of my time. Have to resort to such alternative cause of lack of MONEY!!!

Talk about money, I can't wait for next month my APT pay which totalled to 700+++ plus my consignment sales which is 120+++ and my ST pay for this month which is about 200+++... SHIT!!! ALL STILL IN TRANSIT!!!

Well, looking on the bright side, at least I don't get to spend it on something i don't need until next month. LOL!!!

Out of boredom, I made a WISHLIST till the end of the year...
Medicom 12 inch figures - Yagami Light and L
Master Replicas - Yoda FX Lightsaber
Lego:
UCS Millenium Falcon
7660 Naboo Starfighter
7661 Jedi Startfighter
7662 Trade Federation MTT
7663 Sith Infiltrator
7665 Republic Cruiser
7666 Hoth Rebel Base

As you can see, most of it are Lego items... Mainly because I have fulfilled my other wishlist myself (LOL) which includes PSP and DS Lite games...

Shit... I never had my wishlist fulfilled... so why bother making one up right? Since I'm gonna fulfill them myself... LOL!!! so Let me change it to MY FUTURE SPENDING LIST... shit...

Well, it's been a while since my last update so here goes.

Went out with a couple of Bo Chups yesterday together with Jeremy to check out some Clarinets. Yep, Clarinets. I feel that it's time for me to learn a new instrument and knowing how to play a brass instrument already, I'm gonna take up the challenge to learn a woodwind instrument and Clarinet is my choice. So after surveying around Bras Basah and Plaza Singapura, I've decided to get the one at Bras Basah, however, I have to save up for at least 2 more months to reach 1.2k... Best of luck to me!

So, the outing was good, get to meet up with some who disappeared for at least 6 months... Like finally!!! But I wasn't really in the mood... Mood Swing perhaps? sorry bout it... but it was okay... AND from now on, I better watch what I say... Walking with Dooku yesterday, I kept on commenting on people's actions out loud till Dooku kept on telling me to SHUT UP!!! I think my mouth will be the death of me one of these days... LOL!!! Have to start keeping comments to myself... HAHAHA...

Ouh, the other day, this guy just came up to me and started a conversation... I was on my way back from Dance practice in the east west train heading to Boon Lay when this uncle pointed out the window to a bright area in the middle of a dark area just off Jurong East Station.

Uncle: What do you think that place is?

Me: erm, if I'm not mistaken it's a country club... there's a golf-ing area there... (of course i know i've been there a lot of times!!!)

Uncle: I see... you're very knowledgable... I didn't know there's one here... So, are you back from school?

Me: erm, I'm back from work actually. (shit... why is he still chatting with me?)

Uncle: I see... What so you work as?

Me: erm, I'm an Auditor (LIAR!!! HAHAHA!!!)

AND it was a mistake telling him that... cuz he continued to talk with me!!! He asked what auditors actually do and I simply entertained him and widen his knowledge regarding auditors PROFESSIONALLY!!! hahaha... and he asked me tonnes more stuff... Upon alighting, my walking pace tripled and didn't even look back... HAHAHA!!! Gosh, some people are just too sociable... LOL!!! Not saying it's a bad thing but striking a conversation with strangers is a bit too much...

Well, I personally don't mind chatting but I was soooooooo tired after a long day at work and especially after practice... And come on, think of a better topic to chat??? I've seen locals striking up conversation with Ang Mohs in the train and they usually don't mind and engage in the conversation sincerely... I think if we were to start one with another Singaporean, the other party would be thinking like, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUY THINKING STARTING A CONVERSATION WITH ME?!?!?! or a simple WTF or NB, CANNOT PICK SOME OTHER PERSON TO CHAT WITH IS IT?!?!?

Yesterday was a tiring day!!! and today I'm going out again... oh gosh... when can i have a peaceful weekend...?? i think never... ouh wait, I think until I got enlisted to NS then I'll be resting over the weekend... NOT!!! obviously I'll be going out bah... meet up with friends!!! DUHHHH....

current mood: ESTATIC!!!

I know I haven't been updating regularly... (duhhh) but I have a good reason for it! Attachment... hahaha... Nah, just plain lazy I guess...

Anyway, PLENTY of things happened for the past month... My all-time-favourite English teacher got married...!!! well, at least that's the most significant event i can remember... AND, it's been ages since I met up with Bo Chups and today was the day that we finally met up again since the previous time which was like during Tiac Woo's birthday... hahaha...

Well, to elaborate more regarding the meeting, Wen Xiang proposed to have our 1st Alumni Concert!!! YEAH!!! So, we discussed about the Repertoire and practice shall commence next Wednesday, 13th June!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! That's the main reason I'm so excited lor...

It's been good... had a good performance for malay dance... got good feedbacks regarding freshmen orientation camp... AND I'll be at client's place which is near my area!!! Great news indeed... However, I can't wait for attachment to end soon simply because it's getting a bit draggy and boring... Plus, we don't really have enough time to do our Multimedia Report as most of us are out at client's and busy during the weekends to meet up to do also... LOL!!! Anyway, being optimistic a bit, 8 MORE WEEKS!!! YEAH!!!

Well, I kinda like bumped into Jeremy Lee Hong Joo during one of the dance rehearsals.... It's been a long while since I saw him... Think the last time was during Concert... hahaha... Pretty long yeah... But it was great to see him... Damn, I must catch up with my friends soon... Missing you guys loads...!!!

Talking about catching up with friends, I'm meeting up with my PRIMARY SCHOOL FRIENDS ON SUNDAY!!!! WOOOOOT!!!! Long time never see them... Gosh I hope I can recognise who's who... NOTE TO SELF: BRING CAMERA, SNAP AS MUCH PHOTO TILL MY RIGHT INDEX FINGER HURTS!!! hahaha... SO EXCITING!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

So here's the thing, I'm happily being plotted to a Company very close to our daily needs and ding proper audit on it... Like finally... The seniors are nice and helpful and extremely friendly... I hope the other upcoming jobs I'm plotted to will be the same...

Anyway, gotten my pay for both attachment as well as part-time job and consignment sales and i went shopping liao.. hahaha... cool huh... got myself some pokemon figurines, a star wars maquette, a LEGO set... so far the list is up till here... BUT there's a game I'm dying to buy, waiting anxiously for the release next friday!!! OUENDAN 2!!!

Okay okay... I know I sound very childish and very immature to be playing games at this freaking age of mine, but I don't give a ficken (that's German)... As long as I'm very happy with my life... Been playing Pokemon Diamond and it's so cool!!! Fallen in love with the game...

I think I can't live without games... Gosh, like can you imagine what the world is like if there's no games for me to play... I'll be rotting at home every single day!!! Scheiße (that's German too)!!!

Anyways, just to update that my life is hectic like ficken and I have no time to get a GOOOOOOD rest... Work from monday till Saturday... weekly routine... Can't wait for attachment to end!!! then I might try relief teaching... hehehe... even MORE work...
