Everything just isn't

Just when you thought the night's gonna be a wild one with crazy partying, some are chickening out, while others switch location, and some others just go MIA.

When you thought you're gonna get a job, suddenly your friends got it instead; and that became the reason for you having to collect your race pack all alone tomorrow.

Just when you thought your livelihood is secured with so many options of jobs available, you suddenly find yourself unemployed with $17 left in your bank and having a hugh debt to clear.

When you wanted to get this opportunity to work as hard as you can to earn the budget for a trip you wanted so much to go, you realize you can't even support yourself through 3 meals.

Just when you thought everything's gonna work out just fine, everything just isn't.

After a seemingly perfect plan

comes the far-from-it reality.

Nothing ever works out the way you want it.

Why does it hurt so much to lose something I don't have

Because I've always thought its gonna be mine, and have given up so much in the process. There were so many other opportunities available but I turned them all down.

I've put too much faith in it that it landed me in this sorry state, but it's alright; I'll pick myself up some day, some day...

If I ever get to live pass it.

Reacher vs Settler

My whole life, I've been the former

It's the end of November!

Looking back, I really haven't done anything much this month.
And by that, I'm actually including "camp stuff" in as well.

--

This coming month's gonna be a poor one... =(
UNEMPLOYED!!!

reconsidering

because it really isn't a bad idea if there's a scholarship for it (hard to find though) and brother's idea of him working there for a year while I study is really motivating, but the application for UK schools are really tedious

Hold yourself together!

Please do no break down, I need you...

Be strong,

knee.

Plan failed

14km reduced to 10km.
Not that bad actually.

Last chance to ran with my bro!

Internet is back, bitches!!

After a 12-hour breakdown, it revived!

约定

说好的三年不见面用我们的爱把时间留住
你笑着说这是我们的考验我们的约定

就这样三年又过了我还是回到这个地方
闭上眼等你的出现空气中吻你的脸

我还记得我们的约定
一辈子幸福的约定
为你写的那首歌
他也偷偷的掉泪了

我还记得我们的约定
我比以前还更爱你了
连那风都笑我了
我想他会告诉你的我更爱你了

就这样三年又过了我还是回到这个地方
闭上眼等你的出现空气中吻你的脸

我还记得我们的约定
一辈子幸福的约定
为你写的那首歌
他也偷偷的掉泪了

我还记得我们的约定
我比以前还更爱你了
连那风都笑我了
我想他会告诉你的我更爱你了

你会记得我们的约定
一辈子幸福的约定
为你写的那首歌
他也偷偷的掉泪了

你会记得我们的约定
我比以前还更爱你了
听着风我也笑了
他一定会告诉你的我更爱你了

Bond-free

The idea of getting a bond-free scholarship is really appealing to me now;
I can have the freedom to be crazy before I'm too old to do anything.

One of the best performance in an interview of mine

But still, not confident of it.
They only want overseas scholar,
and they are not really interested in my pursue of a business degree as second major,
and Susu went for the same interview. =O

Lol.

All the best, Jason!

Happy 2 years old!

Dear blog,

I'm sorry that I missed the date by 3 days.
It only came to my mind that I created you few months before my enlistment and now that I've ORD-ed after 1year 10month, you should be around 2yo!

Take care,
Jason

HIV positive

Kang: "Seriously?"

Of course not la!!! LOL.

--

HIV negative; Certificate of Achievement; Grade A for Performance and Conduct;

best thing: ORD lo!!!

--

Only bad news of the week is that I realize my Medic course result was a B grade. Zzz
AND (ok, two bad news then) we still have to go back next week. -.-

What's the best way to transmit information?

Telegraph? No
Telephone? No
Television? No

Tell-a-women.

LOL!

--

I think this is better:

Tell-aaron

HAHAHAHAHA

Anyway, Thanks for coming to my parade!

Mum, Dad, Sis, Bryan, Oliver, Kang and BP!

I remember and I don't

"Homat ORD company"
I really used much effort to hold back my tears.
I've done it twice before,
now, it's finally my turn...

The first day of enlistment is still so clearly stuck in my mind and the feeling and emotion I had will forever be etched in my heart. I remember looking around and thinking all those faggots are not gonna make it in the commando formation. I remember myself finding out about the courses and wanting to go leaders course. And I remember myself chickening out in the end. I remember myself struggling to pass IPPT; I remember myself being proud of my improvements week in week out; and I remember dreading the book in.

I remember reaching the camp and frantically looking for familiar faces in Chin Boon, Leo and Zac; I remember the first stranger I came to know was Joel. I remember thinking this white chick is gonna fall out soon; I remember looking at the blur Kar Wee thinking he'll definitely not make it; and I remember we all made it through in the end. I remember being jealous of Nicholas for getting Best Signals; I remember hating Jesse for always trying to act like a leader but gives us trouble; I remember people telling me how wayang Elisha was; I remember hearing people saying Gabriel shouldn't have gotten Best Weapon; and I remember the shock I got when I came to know that Christ and I have met before.

I don't remember, when we started to become good friends;
but we did and we still are.

I don't remember when we actually started to countdown to this day, and I don't remember how much the anxiety was.
Because today, this day, the day has come. And we're finally parting ways. After leaving so many different places in the past, we know we will eventually miss it even when we can't wait to leave it. And true enough, some part of me tells me I'm hating that I have to leave.

I remember the moment when I prepare for my first jump out of the plane; and I remember the last second before I landed on my last jump in Thailand. I remember the turn out we had the first day in Battalion; and I remember the bittersweet parade we had to get our Red Beret after the 72km. I remember waking up early to go for practice missions for ATEC; and I remember hearing "Heaven now" through the comms on our final one in Taiwan. I remember the anxiety we had last Xmas when we have to check our pager once every few minutes; and I remember the ferry ride back to camp after the Tekong deployment. I remember the blood, sweat and tears we shared during our training; and I remember the laughter and joy we had reaping the reward of Redcon 1 and going for R&R.

I don't remember missing out on anything;
and I don't remember the pain.

--

We've been waiting for this day to come, wanting it so badly;
now, it's finally here.
Really here.
2 years have past since.

--

The last time I had my pink IC, I haven't met that bunch of awesome mates.
The last time my hair was long, I haven't grow up.
The last time I went to school, I haven't learnt anything.

I watched it again

And I still hate the ending..

--

And I still feel sad about it

Monday, November 21, 2011

A big step backwards

Wdl tuition has been cancelled, Garden's tuition center slot taken up by others, Keppel's admin job requires an interview. Where is my money gonna come from? I hope I don't have to go back YCKPS to relief teach for the next 6 months...

And Kang's parents not keen to let him go.
Who's up?! Application now opens, but subject to interview! Haha

--

The trip now seems less likely,
but I just became more sure that I want it to happen.

Sunday, November 20, 2011

HIMYM really screw up my plans

Not reading my books, not touching my library items, not revising my econ, not preparing for my interviews, not studying for my SAT, and most importantly, not sleeping. Zzz

But still, it's too hilarious! HAHA

20/11/2011 2011hr

That was the bride and groom's march in timing just now. Cool huh.
Even though it's not my big day nor is it anything significant to me, but having my presence there at that moment was historical; at least for being part of their love story.

My room is really in a goddamn mess

Time to do some packing!
Hopefully I can do them tomorrow, in preparation for ORD!!! LOL.

Some mums are better than others

How can the aunties resist me?!?!
LOL.

Gonna screw my SAT

Haven't touch it in a while

Wedding

Seeing people getting married is really quite euphoric.

The next time,
I guess it's my brother's turn! XD

Heavy rain + Slippery shoes + Bad knees + Rushing for time

best combination you can ever have;
thankfully I brought my umbrella when I went out...

Striked!

Mum striked 4D again! Shiok; debts cancelled off. HAHA

You haven't been in my life

but I have been in yours,
here.

You haven't done anything

if you haven't made a mistake

Knees

Y U NO RECOVER?!

My left knee hurts so bad I can't walk =(

Watching the MV, again

after the movie,
makes it even more sad.

--

I want to know,
what happened to the guy after she got married...

I thought I might not be able to cope with all the tuitions

Apparently I need more of them now,
because I don't have fucking enough money!!! =(

I AM BACK

to start off,

I AM BROKE, too. LOL

So many of you ponned the Alumni event!

So disappointed! Especially those that said they are going but in the end didn't even appear. -.-
Lol.

--

Shirlene Koh and Lynette Lee! Never go never mind still get caught by us at Kovan!!! Haha. And Rubin/Ken you two best, one botak don't want go the other brother also follow. Zzz

Batam

2nd time there, totally a whole new experience.

The first thing we did after landing at Batam was to drop Jiebo off to his hotel (which happen to be quite posh) because he have got no cash with him and his phone has no auto roaming; and he have to wait there for 4hrs doing nothing while waiting for the rest to return. Best thing, he's only gonna be there for the night and the next day. -.-

Anyway, so we checked in. First impression: IMPRESSED
For $90/pax we get this kind of sea-facing, tree-top, nature-style resort, only Joel Liew will think it's only Okay.
Haha. Any the case, I find it a steal.
One down point is there being no facilities but the nearest place with food and things to do is only 200m;
BUT there's 2 steep knolls in between that made every journey there feels like a route march.

First night's plan to BBQ was voided cos the charcoal was too expensive (real reason being everyone's just too lazy). So we decided to just chill in the resort after returning from breakfast shopping and the traditional (painful) Javanese aroma message. And oh! THE PLACE IS A SCAM! EVERYTHING HAS A F*CKING HIDDEN COST! They first say the driver is free, then it turn out that we have to pay him SGD$50 and this happens to almost every trip we took Zzz. The taxis are so much safer in terms of pricing than the transport arranged with the resort (though they are all equally unsafe on the road).

The second day is the highlight. The whole trip's success lies in this morning. We prayed hard for the sun. But we didn't get it. Good thing is, the rain didn't appear too; at least not until noon. So it was cloudy the whole morning. Apart from us not being able to get some tan, Joel also couldn't do his much anticipated Wind Surfing (but don't worry, a found a much cheaper version in Singapore that is kind of like a course; and it's cheap only after August next year when we become students). I did Parasailing which would have been really fun, if not that we have actually done Parachuting before. The initial take off and the eventually landing into the sea was really the more exciting part (check out the video of how Jian Yu did a failed take off LOL!) with the time in the air just feel like a flight that never ends. But I really enjoy that kind of freedom felt; if not for the constant reminder that that is the height to get ready to land when we are doing airborne (so there is this constant fear in me that tells me to "prepare for action" when there really isn't any action because it hangs). And based on our experience with the harness, we know it have to be tight to be comfortable but the instructor says loose is good; so we trust him and thought maybe it's different. It wasn't. Scammed. So I spent half the time adjusting my seats in mid-air and that's when something caught my eyes. SOME OF THE ROPES ARE HELD TOGETHER BY CABLE TIES!!! LOL. The best part is there's so much sand around it that it looks like it's gonna snap anytime soon. But I figure that falling from that height into the sea probably won't kill me but maybe just give me a good slap on my skin. Ha. Anyway, here comes the highlight. JET SKIING!!! I'm so gonna go for PPCDL course to get a license for it (actually to get a chance to play it again is more important). The euphoria I've gotten from that experience can only be described in one word: SEX. IT. WAS. FREAKING. FUN. LOL!!! Jumping up and down the water, almost falling off after making a sharp turn, speeding up after a turn to catch your own wave, raving the throttle to literally fly in the water, bumping up and down when the water gets choppy, crossing the path of a by-passing boat to hitch his trail of waves, everything just adds up to make that 10mins one of the best time in my life and the $10plus dollar f*cking well-spent. THIS made the trip a nice one. And then it rained. Just after we paid for the windsurfing (which the refund caused Gab and I to have to walk back to the beach later in the afternoon when everyone else is sleeping -.- and it is not cashed back into my account yet Zzz) and therefore have to cancel it.

And we tried to hitch a ride from Turi Beach back to our resort because it started to pour really badly and when we offered a $4 tips, the old couple was so angry. My interpretation (since the language barrier was kinda big) of it was that they don't want our money as they find it an insult; but apparently the others think they find $4 too little. HAHA.

So we hid out in our bungalow with Mie Seddap for lunch! Oh did I mention the breakfast we made was a big success? So is the lunch! With only the instant noodles and 4 eggs left, we scrambled the eggs and fry the noodle to such perfection that it felt like a restaurant-made $20-a-plate dish. LOL. (We did this actually to conserve some space for our buffet dinner but we ended up having an average of 2 packets each)

After that we napped (with Gab and I having significantly lesser sleep cos of the above-mentioned event)in the nice weather. Then we woke up at around 6 to a splendid dinner: Mediterranean-style buffet dinner with live cooking and entertainment for just $27/pax; and the ambiance was great! Totally classy, especially with the Desert Wine we brought that cost us a $10 cockage charge that I thought was worth it (though the angmohs beside were all drinking totally classier Red Wine. LOL)

Then, what happened in Batam, stays in Batam.
and the next morning we woke up, checked out, lunched at Nagoya, shopped at Batam Center and finally ferry back at 4pm. And that really summarize the whole trip. Not eventful, but happening; not exciting, but interesting. =]

Bailey's, Vodka Mode, Mojito

Sounds like we're gonna rock and roll for X'mas and New Year!!! LOL

YCKPS!

It's been long since I last stepped in.
And it was really really nostalgic.
It really made me wanna go back there to teach.
And that's maybe what I'm gonna do.

--

And our photos are still outside library!!!
LOL
Naise

My brother-in law gave me a full-length Skins!!!

Because it was too big for him
when it says "S" -.-
And it's just nice for me!
Rock and Roll!!!
LOL

What a pleasant surprise...
XDXD

Kinship

Because I found the Skins just before we leave for our run,
Jack wanted it too,
so he texted Joanne to ask whether Kenneth has got any lobang;
that's when sis told bro that his elder son is sick,
with the younger son under her care as well
and bro-in-law out of town.
So we decided to run to her house
to pass her the thermometer for Bryan
while Oliver is sleeping.

True friends are there when you ask for help;
siblings appear in times of need even when you didn't ask for it.
Perhaps it's all fated.

--

And maybe it's karma
because it all started off from Kenneth giving me the Skins!

Learning lab rejected my internship...

"We found your candidature to be strong. However, we were unable to find an immediate fit within our organisation for you"

Oh well, rejection don't feel so bad when you don't want it badly.
Maybe I can try for their scholarship!

--

Thinking bout it;
now that my schedule allows me to start work only at 10am,
and it'll end by evening,
teaching tuition after that...
Maybe I can skip Wednesday, Friday and Saturday night from tuition,
and work at Rebel or other clubs!
Naise.

Then I won't really have time to rest. -.-

And learn my driving/riding.

--

But now that Batam trip is done with,
my wallet's kinda done with its job too.
I NEED MORE MONEY!!! zzz

I feel like talking to her

Me: but there really isn't anything to talk about
Kang: uh, talk about exams? haha
Me: nah, nvm.

*moments later*

Me (on fb to her): eh when's your exam?

--

LOL!
I just remembered I wanted to ask that. HAHA

Learning Lab

they really accepted me for my internship!!! (Amazed, stunted, shocked, surprised, whatever)
And it's really a good chance to get closer to their scholarship (which FYI, is equal in value with Keppel's)

--

But the down side,
I have to give up my current tuition jobs.

The pay and everything is gonna be competitive,
but dashing my students' expectation of me;

morally wrong.

--

Seems like I've made up another life-altering decision.

Why this holiday so short?!

so many things I wanna try...

I'm really tempted to take a gap year now.

--

Should I go get a chance to experience the world?..

--

Give me advice, friends.
SMS me on this; just do it randomly if you care enough!

XD

Cool parents are cool

Just told them I'm gonna enroll for 2B.
Didn't say a thing.

Like a boss! HAHA

Should I Urbanathlon it?

it's $128!!

Beast boy!

Because the normal me is crazy
So the crazy beast you guys saw in me is actually me being normal.
I told you I wasn't being crazy when I drink!! Lol

Though I'm abnormal normally.

Like a boss.

Extreme friendship

Maybe now you are having a lot of good friend, and I am just one of them.
We may be meeting up every 2 or 3 month and when people ask, we'll say we're best of friends.
We say that every time we introduce a good friend of ours.

--

But what if tomorrow I pass away, to an accident; from a murder; for a crime I've committed?

I'll become the story of your life.
Yours, yours, and yours.

I'll leave a mark;
I'll suddenly become more important.
More significant.
Because I leave a story for you to tell.
A life story of yours...

--

If you really want your friends to remember you,
die.

That'll create a greater impact than however more memories you're gonna weave in future.

Why are we not dying then?
Because every single one of us are selfish.
Don't boast or even talk about how much you love your friends.
Don't lie and give the excuse that you don't wanna leave them because you don't want them to cry or even feel sad.
Truth is, you don't wanna leave this world ahead of them;
we all wanna outlive each other,
because only the fittest survives,
and because we hate to be the one being left alone while the others stayed together.

The weird part of friendship is,
the greatest memories and strongest emotions are always short-lived.

--

Like artist, you become a legacy when you die during your peak:
Bruce Lee, Marilyn Monroe, whoever.

what great examples.


perhaps we don't have to die, maybe,
we just have to leave when the time is right; or rather, wrong.

Don't wait for change

I worked to make it happen

3x4

That's the (distance/round multiplied by number of rounds) of the impromptu run I just had in km.
And the conclusion? I better start training longer distance before I die on the 4th of Dec.

--

But the feeling was damn good.
Left. Right. Left. Right.
Legs just move on their own as if they're running on dynamo.

On my mind,
it was just how much money I wanna save and what I wanna do with them.
I wanna spend every single bit of the salary I earn this coming break.
There's just so much to do!

And of course, the one thing that constantly pops up is the June trip.
I'm so looking forward to it;
it's definitely gonna happen.

--

I wore two different shoe for each of the feet by the way; totally accidental.
The right NB 380 was half a size too big at 12 and the left NB383 was half a size too small.
The result was blisters on the left and ache on the ball of the feet on the right.
Lesson learnt: get the right size. =]

The anxiety for it is so great

I wish I'm setting off this moment!

Barely enough...

$150/week

= $600/month

= $3600 for 6 months

Hater's gonna hate

it's gonna be AWESOME

Monday, November 14, 2011

I've applied for 2 more jobs!

Despite already have too many at hand.
But Facebook and MAS?!?! One-up people!!
If I ever get them, it must be a dream!...

So, this diarrhea sucks

actually all diarrhea sucks.

But this one particularly cos it disallowed me to sleep last night,
resulting in me unable to get to work this morning,
and cause a risk of possibly ruining my driving lesson later. Zzz

It's great to be talking to old school mates again!

The conversation never seem to be stopping. =]

Xmas and Newyear is near again!

And that just mean......

PARTY!
HAHAHAHAHA

Ok, the first clash occurred

It's really attractive.
Because Keppel can only pay me around $8/hr (excluding $400/month for CPF) and this tuition center job pays $25/hr!
But the thing is, it's only on Saturdays; and so my weekday job have to be relief teaching at YCKPS which I'm not sure if it's available everyday (the pay's better than Keppel). And relief teaching will actually free up more time in the afternoon for more tuition jobs!

The only thing is, do I really want my portfolio to all be teaching related, or to have a stint in corporate work?
I guess the answer's more likely to be the latter.

So the best case scenario now will be Keppel allowing me a 5-day work week to free up my Saturday! (Which I think is also kinda impossible)

Decisions, decisions...

If everything goes well...

I can earn $558/month teaching, without my current student!
Wow... Please go well!

$1150

that's the cost of the bartender course conducted by Association of Bartender Singapore. And you have to be 21yo. And they didn't state when the next course is. Sounds like a good summer course two years down the road!

This is tough

Even the time when I first made a move,
even the time when I made you angry,
even the time when you played hard to get,
even the time when I asked for a patch after breaking your heart,
even the time when we have been separated for so long,
even the time when you left me,
even the time when you told me to move on,
even the time when you no longer belong to me,
even the time when we became strangers,
even the time when I realize all these are real,

they were easier...

You are the one I really wanna bring for my 21st

and yes, it's impossible...

--

You're so important that I only want that person to be you.
Because you exist, any one else I bring seems less-than-significant.

I've been thinking

it's really difficult to think that you're my friend,
but I really don't wanna lose this "friendship".

Maybe being strangers is better for us than being friends.

--

But I'm not strong enough to let that happen.

I'm lost...

Experience

is the sole purpose in life

Looking back, what have we done?

What sort of events constituted our memories?
We don't have much exciting stories to share.

So much of our lives together have been spent studying.
We smiled, because we managed to complete that particular chapter.
We frowned, because we didn't do well for an exam we studied together.
We quarreled, because we couldn't agree on where to study.
And we all we did share was the reason, no emotions.

Is this really the life we want?
I've said it before,
next time, when I have the chance,
let us see the world, experience our lives,
together.
If,
we ever have the chance.

--

What have I gained?

I've spent my whole life studying,
and to the very end,
I ain't exactly great at it,
and I haven't achieved a lot.
I enjoyed the process,
but what have I reaped?
Knowledge? The path to success?
Not exactly.
I sowed the dispensable with irreplaceable time and energy.

I'm not a geek, nor a nerd.
I've had my time to hang out with friends I love,
spent my energy on the sport I like,
worked the job I enjoy, and
slept the sleep I need.

But I really haven't seen the world,
I haven't experience any life.

--

It's time for a change.
It's time I start planning for the real future.

--

In the next ten years to come,
what will be the most exciting things you've ever done that you'll wanna tell people you interact with?
Not about getting 16 distinctions out of the 20 exam papers I've taken,
not about getting champions with the team I played with,
not about loving the girl I want to marry, still, ever since I met her at 13,
not about working since 14 years old to earn my own pocket allowance,
not about flying an airplane in the sky with my instructor fast asleep,
not about the 42km that I've been running every year and the 72km I've marched,
not about having the courage to jump out of the plane hoping the parachute will deploy,
not about achieving Redcon one, holding multiple appointments, promoting to CFC,
not about having a 50% attendance for school and ended up being the top few,
not about being born in a family so imperfect, we've shared tears and laughter every day,
not about having a Mum that supports everything I do, even tattooing,
not about having a Dad that wakes up at 3am just to keep me accompany,
not about having so many good friends around that will readily die for me; correct me if I am wrong.

One of these may be what you're dreaming of and dying to have the chance to boast about.
For me, I don't deny, it used to be;
now, they're forgettable.

I want exciting stories,
really exciting ones.

It's about time I start planning my life

Not about studies, not my career, not even my future family.

But what I really wanna do in my short lifespan.

--

I wanna see the world with my own naked eye.

The people, not the place.
The experience, not the stories.
The memories, not the photos.

The (Bigger) Game Plan

Riding (commence March '12): $500
Diving (Basic; March/April '12): $600
Diving (Advance; May '12): $700
SEA backpack (Birthday trip; June '12): $1500
Europe backpack (will it happen?!?! Summer '13 or '14): $5000

Things to do:
Earn and save up!!! =]

Will it be stupid to take a lap year?...

I wanna try out so many different part-time jobs that all seems so fun and exciting to me, but I don't have the time to do them... After graduation, it'll be meaningless to do them. Guess I've wasted too much time on a single job in the past. Haiz. Relief teach, private tutoring, clerical work at Keppel land, support staff at MAS, shop-keeper at Kinokuniya, internship at Learning Lab, bartender at Rebel, sales at A&F, air steward for SIA... I've got so much options and I wanna try out every one of them. The body is willing, but time is not. Goddamn it!

3-hour straight of H2 Math

it's really kinda tiring...

what's more: 5-day straight. o.O

I really needa tune my body clock back to normal!

Not healthy being nocturnal

Wasted trip!

Ok, I did manage to return one book and borrowed two more, but when I tried to borrow a third one which I wanted most, it says that my loan quota has reached. So I went to the concierge to check it out because I just returned one and they told me to wait. Before that, I thought it was hopeless, so I left the book on the table. And poof! When I return (after 1min) it disappeared! -.-

And then I went to Popular, wanting to get a Vocab book and travel guides. Got the former but couldn't find the latter. The only productive I did was to get cakes for my dad and Starbucks card for myself. The best thing is, I forgot the most important thing of topping up my bus card!!! -.-

Tough decision

I'm deciding whether to do it solo or with a partner.
Solo is not an issue;
but if I wanna spend it with a partner,
who will I wanna bring that is willing to go?

The thing is, every single one of you bitches out there are my best friend
and everyone one of you is so different that bringing any one of you brings along several different pros as well as cons. So I give up; I really couldn't decide.

The ideal one? Impossible.

--

This trip is hypothetical,

but I'm really having a strong desire to make it come true.

--

We'll see.

ORD's knocking on the door!

Many thanks to Rex who took the effort to drive me to camp to get back my kitbag and then drive me home.
This just means... ORD lo!

And the talk the next day (which was the cause of me returning) made ORD felt like just tomorrow.

I'm not exactly excited for it,
more like nervous actually.

Who knows,
life after may just turn out sucky.

My face's rotting

peeling actually, when there wasn't even sun this morning at Sentosa to start with. Zzz

21st

The Game Plan: Backpack tour around South East Asia in 10days

--

Anyone up for it?

Life

I wanna live life to the fullest; to make it meaningful, to fill it with colours.
Because there's only one chance at it.

I wanna stop doing things to show others, I wanna do them to prove to myself.

Even if I were to die tomorrow, I wanna have no regrets.

I've tried

I've tried to let you go. I've tried to move on. I've tried to live my life. I've tried to be happy. I've tried to go out with other girls. I've tried to get you out of my mind. I've tried to shut you out of my heart. I've tried to tell myself you're no longer mine. I've tried to make you less important. I've tried to not love you. I've tried to forget. I've tried to forgive myself. I've tried to be less emotional. I've tried to treat you as a friend. I've tried to stop dreaming.

And I thought I was successful.

There wasn't even a maybe, there wasn't even a perhaps.
I was so sure.
Now I start to doubt.

Maybe.
Perhaps...

I finally know what's my greatest fear

He smiled at me while I was preparing to alight the bus, then when I went down, he rushed down to alight. Then I walked home, and he followed me. I stopped to smoke, he stopped and stared at me from afar. In the end, I just walked towards him and asked him what he wants.

"Anything"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
"You stay here?"
"Ya, I stay here, why?"
"Going out?"
"Ya, so?"
"Want to go Geylang?"

I walked away and he followed. So I decided to walk to the police station to seek refuge. Then he finally disappear.

FUCKING CHEEBYE!!!

--

And the best part, the police on duty was Siddiq. -.-

Realusion

I've been telling myself so much that we're gonna end up together; now it's just the time to go out and live our life. But I know deep down that everything is an uncertainty. I tell myself I wanna marry you. But it really isn't up to me, or even you, to say that that'll happen. Maybe you will find a better guy and eventually settle down. I don't want the day when you call me to inform me that you're marrying to come. But truth is, like how I don't want the movie to end off this way, it may just be the case.

They say that if you really love that person a lot, you'll want her to be happy, to be loved by a guy who loves her more, care for her more, and deserve her more. But it really isn't easy to achieve. I can wait, but I don't wanna lose my chance. The next time, next time when it's possible, I wanna grab hold of you, and never let go again.

I know you may just read this. And I know I'm not supposed to say all this crap. But I still have to. I love you. Even if it means changing anything we have now to something less, I still wanna tell you that.

I felt so down when I heard how you're moving on with life; how you're partying without me with your boyfriend; how I'm less than important to you; how we're no longer together; how you no longer belong to me...

I don't want all these to be happening. But I really have no one other than myself to blame. I'm sorry. Even of it no longer carries any meaning. Please. I don't know what I'm begging of you, but please...

All the best...

I know I shouldn't have watched the show

Because I didn't wanna tear.

--

And I kinda don't like the ending.

First hundred buck!

And I'm gaining hope in teaching yet again. Cool.

Happy birthday Danielle

18, finally!

I've said this on fb, via SMS and called to tell you; I figured I might as well do it here as well.

No matter what, you were once the most important girl in my life. Even if it was just for a short period of time, we have had the memories isn't it. :)

And ya, I'm glad you're moving on well. Hopefully being legal for clubs gives you more happiness than the miserable bit I gave in the past! (see wasn't such a bad thing I left right!!!) XD

Enjoy, babe. :)

Just two messages I didn't have the courage to send out

Because I know things will just turn out worse

Shall we?

Do you feel like time have passed and things changed? Like we're no longer the friends we used to be? I'm sorry but I can't help it... It just feels like you're avoiding me or something or maybe it's just me thinking too much. But perhaps this is because of a certain mistake we've made? Let the past go and move on shall we? I'm sorry if I'm making things awkward but I hope not! :)

Restart

I'm sorry but I just have to say it. It's something in my heart for more than a year. I think when there's a problem, we shouldn't be avoiding it. I don't like how two good friends turn out bad. It's obvious we're trying to stay away from each other. The way we started drifting away, fading out of one another's life and eventually even cease to acknowledge each other's existence. I've been trying hard to reconcile, but I still somehow feel that you're resistant to me. Stop acting like strangers in person and try so hard to maintain a friendly outlook through the phone; face it, we've changed, we're different, we are no longer who we were. We've made a mistake, but we can always learn. We move on, not away. I know it's impossible now to go back to us being best friends like in the past where we can eat together every week, play mahjong together overnight, run together in the night and study together till late in the wee hours. All I'm asking for is for us to stop avoiding each other and become good friends again. Is it not possible? I hope things won't turn out more awkward though, will it?

Rash on my face

sucks

It feels good to be back on talking terms

Naise

It's okay, as long as the face of Yusof Ishak is nice

I'm fine, I'll just do it. HAHAHA

Soul vs Brain,
BRAIN WON!

They saw it but just don't reply

I don't understand how girls work!

--

Oh I was reading this book and they started to talk about the scientific explanation for difference between a girl and guy's brain. And there's this part of the brain called frontal lobe which allows us to "next" or make plans for the future and the lobe also plays a key role in emotional control, personality, and judgement among other things.

Within the brain there's two different kinds of brain tissue - White and Gray.

So girls apparently have got 10 times more white matter (a fatty protein called myelin) in the brain than guys; this matter is the brain's communication network linking different parts of gray matters and the gray matters to the rest of the body. And these white matters are found in high concentration in girl's frontal lobe while men had none. And guys, on the other hand, has got around 6 times more gray matter (where the actual processing of information is done) in the brain than women.

--

Hmmm...
So they think too much by linking all the limited information they stored
while we have so much ideas of what's going on but fail to link them up!
This is especially so in areas of emotional control, personality, and judgement?
Sounds true enough...

Ok, two more jobs

$2000; 10am - 6pm 6-day work week: sounds good so please let me get it (though it'll just screw up every other jobs except the tuitions)

AND

$32.5/hr for Calculus tuition (intensive and probably gonna last for just the next week; but... never say no to Yusof Ishak!)

LOL.

enough to kill!

$12.34 and $11.11

that's the amount in mine and Gab's Ez-link after we topped up $10 each.
And today is.... 11/11/11!!! make a goddamn wish! HAHAHA

Fastest student

Thanks Mr Lim, I take that as a compliment. Lol

But that scumbag that came late and took my parallel parking practice spot.

You. Watch. Out.

LBJ, again?

but they have a pay raise and it's now $7/hr...

AND!

it's $15/hr on CNY period!!! How to reject. HAHAHA

Job hunter

When everyone else is fighting unemployment,
I am too!
Lol.

But with better luck and opportunities.
Please, let the different jobs I'm taking on not clash!

I can stay at Kinokuniya whole day...

and that's why I applied for a job there!

Those modeling agencies are out on the hunt again!

I take it as a compliment
Though I know it's a scam.

Lol

Please don't rain!

I still needa walk back to the MRT!

--

To think I rushed and sweated so much my shirt is drenched just now.
Zzz

The only good thing: I finally got the chio dentist! Hahaha

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

Not exciting now...

WHY SO LITTLE?!?! =(

The most exciting day of the month!

PAYDAY!

3 tuition offers in a day!

1 got declined by me (pre-school, seriously?), 1 cancelled the assignment (school teacher for higher chinese?) and the other's pending (PLEASE let me get it) =]

Why, Prudential, WHY?!?!

I went down to Popular yesterday to check out the books I wanted to buy,
then I decided to go home to check whether they're cheaper online;
and before I left, I went down to the bank to confirm my bank statement and I still have $90+ left.

So today, after checking that it is cheaper at the store itself,
I went over to my sister's place to get her Popular member card
then went over to Compass Point to get the books I want.

Since I took LRT, which landed at the 3rd floor,
I didn't wanna re-route to the 1st floor to draw money and so headed straight to Popular hoping to use Nets/Master
And guess what, they both got declined!

So the puzzled me went down to down to check and I'm left with $19 in the bank!!
-.- The angry me end up going into Starbucks to spend every cent of it. LOL!
And now I'm home and checked, my initial suspicion was right, Prudential was being a bitch.

They were supposed to deduct it on the 5th, so I assumed I missed it,
though there was a slight doubt that they might be doing it yesterday cos of Hari Raya,
I let that thought pass. BUT IT'S BACK TO HAUNT!

Zzz.
So, wasted trip.
Actually, not exactly.

Starbucks' Belgian Waffles are really kinda worth!
And I got 5 books from the library.
Hmmm...

Tuesday, November 8, 2011

Now I'm gonna blame HIMYM for this sleepless night

it's just too funny to stop at THIS episode!

WTF my EMA interview clashed with my schedule AGAIN!

=(

First with ATEC on the previous round.
This time round with dental, then AGAIN with Batam.
Why my life so sad!!!

I was already contemplating while on the way home,

that I will not get angry when I see them playing mahjong in my room.
Since the house, which the room belongs to, belongs to my parents, and they have every right to use it.

And so,
I got home,

Angry.

-.-

I was drinking my Cranberry White Chocolate Frap

then my brother asked me into his room and started talking about the wounds on his butt and how they burst;
the next thing I know, he got me to change his dressing for the bloody (literally) opening.

My Cranberry Frap never tasted better. -.- HAHA

Back to camp after a 2-week break!

Met up with friends, played some mahjong, talk-cocked with superior, showed face, packed cupboard, returned equipment and poof! here I am back home to enjoy my one-week off followed by next week's leave!

Life's good...

Oh
and TK was trying to learn mahjong! HAHA

--

Poor Nic, why you volunteer to support??
Or you'd be like me at home now,
and for the rest of the week!

Why haven't I thought of it earlier!?

Maybe she told her something
and that's why she's always leaving us alone...

But it doesn't matter anymore,
it's been so long;
now that we're no longer talking
and with all the avoidance,
I think this will always remain a speculation on my part.

I shall not dwell too much into this.

I finally recall why I'm so hard-up on cash this month...

Try $160 for ORD dinner, $125 for the stileto and $50 for reservation of hotels with a month's (miserable) pay.

Gum,

Y U SO PAIN!!! =(

After Book Depository changed their default currency to SGD,

it seems like the books they're selling are getting more and more expensive!

Are they trying to cheat my feelings or it's just Popular getting cheap? Hmmm...

M1 Xplorer no more!

WHY?!?!?! =(

Monday, November 7, 2011

Finally, after almost 3 weeks

I'm coming home... of the Commando! -.-

The Game Plan

maybe it's the fact that I'm home alone,
or just these kind of parent-issue movies,
or I guess it's just me,
being weak...

I'm watching HIMYM season 1

and there's so much similarity in the plot agreeable to my life.

Sunday, November 6, 2011

Why is the Sun so nice today!

I mean the clouds so nice as to not form up.

--

So why am I not suntanning?!?! =(

Awake after 4 hours of sleep

Ok, maybe more of hungry than awake.

Headache and blurry eyes... AGAIN

Alcohol + 4 rounds of Mahjong game + NO sleep since last morning + every other things negative

--

I didn't waste my life! =D

And if it's only the 7th day of November...

it just means...

there's still 3 more day to payday!
-.-

And I'm broke.

Thank goodness (Ok, thank Tengwee instead) that I won some money just now to tide me over this "storm" XD

It's only the 7th day of November

and I'm posting more than I do the whole of 2009.
Great.

This is what staying at home does to you.

--

Time for some 9gag!

Geek.

This is not a ramble

You're not being s*****, or at least so I think.

Nicely put, it's mutual trust at work between us.
Just, go wild while we can afford to!
=]

From the way I'm rambling nonsense

I bet everyone knows I'm half-drunk.

--

The other half?
I can't find it!

This made me think that the iPhone is actually quite a good buy

timely, at least.

I've probably considered this period of block MC/Leave/Off back then when I was buying it I guess.

--

Whatever

I NEEDA BOOK IN IN 12 HOURS' TIME~~~!!!

A sudden realization when I wanted to charge my iPhone and thought, "But I am not gonna use it for the rest of the week!"
-.-

=(

And it's just so not justified to put it under "hobby"

But it really is!

Why is "Shopping" a hobby but gambling -- wrong, Mahjong-ing -- not?!
=(

Oh, and I just Mahjong-ed!

First time in 3 weeks, by the way.

That seems like ages to me.
When will I ever stop?
I'm not hoping it's never.

When you're so close to this pair of couple

and you see them saying mushy stuff on Facebook,
don't you have the urge to "like" it knowing how sweet that is?

But you just never wanna intrude their own private lovey-dovey space
(though it's public -.- )

And he didn't call back

like always, as expected. -.-

Alright, time to catch some sleep

Goodnight peeps;

at 0850Hr in the morning. =]

The most hurting words in love

Not "Sorry"
Not "Break up"
Not "I hate you"

But "We can never get back together"

One section of SAT test with an episode of HIMYM each

perfect combination to spend the Sunday.

I'm not

I'm not the commitment -guy,
I'm a single-guy


I don't want a relationship,
I wanna be free!

--

Really?

Kinda true that it exists in every guy that's attached;
that some times, we feel like this.

Until perhaps when we're old and mature enough to wanna settle down,
to start a family with the one we really love.

--

Sometimes,
some things we regret.

I need both grammar and vocabulary practice books

NEED. =(

Who prays to god on facebook?!

it's irritating knowing it's attention seeking. Zzz -.-

Stupid diarrhea

Somehow I think you're the cause of me eating so much. Zzz

It feels good to be studying at home on a weekend

I don't know why but I just like this feeling of being studious.

And understanding/knowing something really does lift up my mood;
am I a nerdy geek or what?!?!

Lol.

I don't like corn stuff

But this one's good...
Not too corny. LOL.

Everyday, I wake up anxious to check my mail

but there's just no progress every single time.

--

I'm not asking for money to fall from the sky,
but why can't the opportunities come more readily?!

I'm starting to feel the despair of being unemployed.

Saturday, November 5, 2011

Headache and blurry eyes

Am I getting old?
Or is it just because of the late nights?

It's been raining the past few nights

Nice weather...

I really don't like the feeling of having to book in

Though this is the second-last time I'm gonna do it;
the past "holiday" has been too laid-back.

So much, I've forgotten how life used to be back in camp.

--

I'm sure I'll miss it someday,
perhaps soon.

"Backspace" is not functioning properly on my keyboard

that sucks;

reminds me of life,
where we cannot delete what we've said or done.

--

Where we can't "Backspace" to the previous page...

I swear my Vocab sucks

And that's why SAT practices are killing me.

From today onward,
I'm gonna mug like I've never mugged before!!!

--

Then again,
the mind is strong but the flesh is not;

how to?!?!
When I have so much distractions around...
not forgetting it's back-to-camp week. Zzz

--

For my 2400,
I will...
LOL

I wanna travel around the world!

I bet my brother said that when he was young too.
The difference: he's made it.

Almost 200 cities, how's that.

--

Was discussing the Newsweek's 100 Places to Visit Before they Disappear & National Geography's 100 Places to Go with my brother this afternoon;
then thought about his crazy (or luxurious) 30-day 11-country Honeymoon trip next year...

Just envy.

Then he gave me a thought of railing from Eurasia to Europe on backpack and work-as-I-travel.
Sounds like a plan after grad;
sounds, just a plan.

Let's hope I'm rich, and have the time, and am single (or have a crazy gf), and still have the passion by then.
It really does sound cool to complete much of Europe at one go...

What a crazy thought...

I haven't collected my McDonald's free stuff yet!

And I think I just missed the expiry...

I'm a honest kid

you should know

Temptation, I resist!

No clubbing until nearer to ORD mutherfockers! Lol.

Don't let yesterday take up too much of today

It's so hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember

Friday, November 4, 2011

We spent most of our time together studying

Next time,
Next time when you return,

We'll go out and have fun.

Dammit, my stomach's really wobbly now.

Fats,
Y U NO DISAPPEAR?!?!

Thursday, November 3, 2011

Ok, let's be honest, I need LOTS of money!

Diving, Riding, Tattoo, Holidays, Shades, Wallet, Bag, Specs, Laptop, Books, Bike, etc etc.

Y U NO MONEY?!?!?! =(

More interviews please!

Job interviews, Scholarship interviews, whatever interviews!
As long as you got monetary value,
COME COME COME!!! Lol.

New past-time with my brother,

my new running mate.

--

But it's not gonna last long. Lol.

Finally at my 6th lesson...

I moved on to parking!

And it wasn't as difficult as I've thought
(because there were no cars beside. -.-)
LOL!

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

La Kopi

Back to pre-enlistment days!

--

This is pre-enlistment too,
for Ken and Alvin. Lol

All the best bros. Ha!

The break is so long

I'm losing track of time.

MJ Black or White

Yep, that's the theme for ORD dinner.
What a lame one indeed. Lol...
Penguin ftw!~

--

"Damn her hair is already wrong colour"
HAHA!

Quoting Nicholas, "it's gonna be an interesting dinner"

I shall start with How I Met Your Mother

Since both Bleach and South Park lag like hell. Zzz

Movie marathon tonight!!! XD

Ice cream ftw!

Since it's recommended by the dentist. Lol.

Fats, please do not be so efficient in forming up. =]

Now that Kang lent me his hard drive...

I swear I can stay home whole day without feeling bored!

Hooray for my wallet! Lol.

Why are there so many people looking for tutor

When there are so many people looking for students at the same time?!

I really have no idea,
because I've never been the student;

all I know is,
I wanna get one! Zzz

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

I'm "vigorously" looking for job now

Desperation.

I need money!

--

Lobangs, anyone?!

This emptiness I've long forgotten

is back.

I haven't really been touching my phone for quite awhile,
and this hasn't been the case for an even longer while.

Alright, I'm getting lonely:
The price of freedom.

--

Still,
it's weird not having my phone ringing.

I'm so pissed that he's angry at me

And I don't think I'm at any fault.

But it's alright...
I've contemplated to conclude that it'll be a win-win situation to apologize on my part.
It doesn't really matter whose fault is it anyway;
I keep my cool, he keeps a friend.
Happy ending. Period.

But yea,
check your temper mate.
In my opinion, it wasn't that big a deal;
and the main thing is, it got cancelled.
Chill man.
=]

And I got no reason why my comp's lagging like hell

But it sucks.

Think my wounds look good.

Swelling isn't very bad and the pain really subsided a great deal.
Now I can even eat Char Kuey Tiao!

Hopefully it'll recover soon... =]

--

And my appetite's back too!
3xPorridge + 2xBeancurb + AlotxBiscuit + AlotxSnacks.
Zzz

Bad point about staying at home whole day!

Every news feed regarding you

makes my heart beats faster.
