Long (Island) Night

By the time i got 'everything' done, it was already 6 am.

It was, by far, the longest crubbing i ever had. Usually, OO ended at 3am, while zouk ended at 4. But mos called it at 4.30 am, or even later.. i really ain't quite awake to know the exact time.

Today, spent quite a bit.. All in all, nearly $70+ excluding transport. All on Long island w/o 1 for 1. LOL.. think we all quite dl la.. haha.. coz stand there also nothing to do.. and the staff told me, it depends on the management to give us the 1 for 1.. no wonder la.. Of coz, thanks to dom, i saved on my return trip home. ^^

Overall, i would stick to the usual place.. one with great crowd (and music that doesn't come out so quickly), or the other with affortable alcohol. Of coz, 2-3 times should be enough. I had enough. Haha.. so next up, should be shot-ing at oo le.

Of coz, today had lots of happenings.. i also don't know what to say. Just hoped that someone who picked up a phone would reply the following morning ba.. if integrity is in place. But more often than not.. it depends on the people rather than the situation. We shall see.

Oh ya.. while my friends are learning jap and french.. lol.. i think i should go and learn Thai le.. whahahaahaa.. just kidding la.

Reached home 5 plus, and mom was outside sleeping on the sofa. Pakki as usual greeted me with his 'seh' face.. whaha.. think he still not quite awake. But when he sees my mom going to the kitchen, he started barking.. lol.. i think my mom spoilt the market le. Hahaa.. Nevertheless, he is still very cute.. haha.. he kept following me lor.. lol.. why? got instant noodles smell ar?

LOL.. ate instant noodles the instant i got home. Was very hungry and wanted to maintain my weight.. what to do? LOL.. noodles was very nice.. haha.. had so much extra ingredients.. wahhaha.. super nice la. Of coz, i did the cooking myself. Haha..

Failed a few times trying to be creative in cup noodles and in the end, LSed because i didn't cook the crab stick well enough.. Whahaa... but it was a great experience though. Had be cooking crab stick these few days because i missed the times i had bbq.. wahhaa..

And so today, bbq and chalet was mentioned. LOL.. i don't care the liquor or the mj session (though i liked them as well..).. but i actually craved for bbq food. Hahaha... i like good food leh.

Heard from one of my friend that the tw trip wasn't that fun.. hmm.. i do hoped that my hk trip wouldn't end up the same way. Hhaa... of coz, the difference is that, we are on free and easy. The 1st night, we planned to whack vsop in the hotel. Second night, go central see the various crubbing place and the 3rd day, vist maccau. Oh.. did i mention that hk is celebrating its anniversary of returning to the mainland? WOW.. whahahaa... fireworks! It should be fun i hoped. Will be leaving on friday morning at 8am and returning on monday night at around 11 pm.

Of coz, i haven't been preparing my trip.. ahhaa.. i haven't got my hk dollars yet. LOL.. anyway, it's here.. no matter what, just enjoy 1st. LOL.. after that, i'll start worring about my cash inflow. Till then.

Post Band Camp

Thought i was at band camp or what.. haha.. consecutive 4 days of band, very tiring.

Yesterday was different. It was our day of performance. A mini one, yet heard someone saying "good luck" to me.. my reaction was, giving enough practice, one wouldn't need so much as luck.. not as much as "jy" ba. LOL.. luck? Simi lai eh? Good luck that i won't fall down the stage? Or good luck that i can siam all the difficult parts without being noticed? Or what? Good luck that i win the coming toto? Somethings just ain't depenedent on luck. I know i'm being very sarcastic.. i am as you all knows.. sometimes jokingly, sometimes seriously serious. I am, of coz quite pissed at source. LOL.. it is all personal. Haha.

Was on stage to perform for Mr President Sir. Mr president was there to visit our kaikan.. and for the first time, saw him in person. Wow... security was rather tight that day, and we were not allowed to move about freely.

Finally was on stage and we played a few pieces.. i liked Morigasaki best le. After so long, got the chance to play that piece.. but it was in one lousy key signature. Hahaha.. 6 sharps leh! siao ah. After that, the finale was "we are singapore".. it was like a mini National Day Celebration in advance lor. LOL.. all sang along and my.. it was pretty dizzy seeing the flags being waved about.

By the way, it was a very small performace, and everything was done very soon.

Still, another performance to come on 070707 at singapore indoor stadium. LOL.. another small item, yet collectively a big performance. Sigh. Practice again. This time will be playing "sound of music" and "matsuri" by kitaro. LOL.. and it was a combine piece with CO.. lol.. i don't know what to say la.

Anyway, found that the band is getting weaker.. sometime like the rise and fall of a dynasty. Why not? I just don't wish to get involved in politics. Yet as somemone says, there are 101 reasons not related to music that the band is so weak. To those who wished to believe that the stituation was not that bad, i think they really haven't see the days of the glorious SWE. Sigh.. till they iron out the other issues, we shall remain this way.. and still, will get called in for performance. I will not decline.. but do really hope that the stituation will change someday soon.

A few more days, i'll be off to HK le. Suddenly also no mood to go touring lor. LOL.. not enough money already. Of coz.. i think i can get sick of crubbing pretty soon. That includes pubbing too.

And now, Tuna wants to join in the price hike also.. not to mention NETs. LOL.. what else? Next time go toilet must pay 30 cents lo.. haha.

Back from Pubbing

Back from pubbing, and as usual, found time to blog while waiting for my hair to dry.

Went with some of the freshie, and was at cq. Went to 2 new places today - dungeon and Shin bar. LOL.. both are KTV based, but sadly, song never came. One had 12 tables, and the other had 20 over. LOL.. 20 over.. must wait for 2 hour leh.

Anyway, it was nice to see friends again, and i like pubbing sometimes as it was a budget session. LOL.. unless we decided to open bottle. But also no use.. open liao also other people drink.. lol..

Nice place though, not too boring anyways.

Band today was rather alright.. haha.. can play, and finally, the feel is back. Not the band, but my touch for my instrument. I shall, if i want to.

Tomorrow morning band pract again, at 9am. Wahahaa.. now already 3.40am le.. which means i need to wake up at 7.30am... which leaves me less than 3 hours of sleep.. zzz.

Up and Runnning

Got my CPU up and running again.

Was at Sim Lim the other day to "upgrade" my Comp.. i think my old comp really died le. Even before it stopped working, it needed the constant wind generated by my home fan. LOL.. what a waste of electricity. I guess the thermal gel had really been dried up after 5-6 years of purchase. Finally, due to overheating, it decided to retire. LOL.. and with a motherboard (mobo) of the same age.. its difficult to by a replacement processor.


The MSI Mobo.. lol.. budget de.


The "New" Processor with a very "heavy duty" fan.

In the end, i decide to overhaul the whole CPU less the Harddisk and some internal parts. Nevertheless.. it still cost quite cheap compared to the other time when i DIY my PC. Spent $282 on the Chassis, Mobo, P4 Processor and also a DDR2 Ram. LOL.. since i want to upgrade, might as well upgrade all. DDR1 is being phased out, same as AGP card.. and HDD now uses SATA instead of PATA. LOL.. so nowadays, if any parts spoilt on a old comp.. it can be quite difficult to buy replacement wor. Might as well upgrade. Chose a Micro ATX form and so downsized the chassis as well.. finally after 5 years.. can get rid of the bulky CPU. But actually, i wanted the one Apple Offered. It was like a CD Box.. lol.. the whole CPU that is just the size of a CD box. But i think for me who on my comp 24/7, it won't last long before it overheated.

This time round, the desktop was fully assembled by me.. whahaha... including the placing of the processor. I totally had no experience leh.. haha.. but it was done anyway. I'm satisfied le. Happy like anything.

Only thing is that, i feel that i was cabbaged head there again lor.. coz the chassis alone cost $65.. tmd.. tio tok le. I spent a few hours the night before to do some "research" on the mobo that i wanted.. whaha.. but never thought of the chassis. LOL.. but nevermind la.. i like the chassis anyway.


A comparison of my old chassis and the new one in black =D

Today is Saturday.. and every saturday and sunday is band day... whahahaa.. don't know should be happy or sad. Anyway, i'm off to Boonlay again lo.. zzz.

This to That

Was back from walas.. haha.. and we've not even been there for more than an hour. LOL.

Supposed to be at Phuture de, but decide for so long till it was rather late. Given last's week crowd, i think by the time we reached, it would be full house le. LOL.. coz kids are having their holidays.. hahaha.

In the end, liquid also full, and so while crossing back, No.165 came.. so we boarded without knowing why.. haha.. sometimes, it's better to follow the flow.. make things so much simplier.

Felt so much better to deny myself. LOL.. don't know why, antenna is super long, until think so much that everyone says i think too much. LOL.. maybe in the past, i would have discovered that earth was really round than flat. LOL.. kidding. Give credit to the one who discover.

But i've learnt to accept, that of others, even till the point of blind faith. LOL.. not without my own view.. but i just don't want to tire myself anymore. LOL.. i would be happier.. who cares what that person mind is thinking. Efficient or not.. it is not my concern. Just don't put me at risk, i shall keep to the minimum.

I guess i will be a great employee.. whahaha.. no trouble de.. just do and do. Will be back from hk on the 2nd, and maybe will start look for part time. I've asked my friend at stand chart, but don't know got tio put plane or not. LOL.. everytime tio dua de. But maybe not now.. i still haven't graduate. LOL.

Been addicted on the history channel on scv.. wahahaha.. don't know why, it fascinates me leh. I had no interest in history de.. but the shows are just so nice.. better than discovery. Whahaha.. i'm thinking of getting an additional box in my room.. lol.. coz i like to nua so much that i want to lie down on my bed to watch tv. Wahahahahaaa. $12 per month wor.. but wait till i get a job.

History made us what we are today.. wahahaa.. i think, we should appreciate the past, cheris the present, and anticipate the future. I don't just mean the world history itself.. i mean our life story. LOL.. don't know why.. just felt that i want to put this in. Maybe coz my friend had told me that he met someone somewhere.. that someone that had somehow influenced me till what i am today. LOL.. but then again, why the slurpee? It wasn't to me already like that.. if i appear.. whahaha.. what i think i know what to expect. But i have no expectations.. lol.. who cares?

Today my dog learnt a new trick. Whahaha.. again, it was taught by me.. coz i'm so free at home. CPU down, and didn't know what to do.. so took him for some lessons by me lor. LOL.. today he learnt how to "roll". LOL.. another basic command that serves no purpose lor. But it was fun to see him learn. I think i better record down the commands he knows.. lol.. i think i'll forget it before he does. They are: "sit", "come", "down", "stay", "hand", "no", "roll", "in/inside", "up", "heel", "fetch", "kiss".. lol.. others that require no action are "good boy", "naughty boy" and "quiet".. and he knows his name of coz. And today, he dropped his baby tooth le.. haha.. the fang is so tiny lor. LOL..

6 months plus, no longer a baby le. And Pakki had establised himself in my village. He isn't close to the village chief, coz he seldoms feed or plays with him.. same as sis, but the dog treated her differently. LOL.. maybe coz the dog likes ladies.. ZZZ..or maybe he remembered who adopted him from the pet store. LOL.. he was the last of his family to be sold lor.. so i think he felt very close to my sis. Everytime my sis returns home, he will jump up and down and get very excited. LOL.. my mom also gets the same welcome.. hahaha.. but he is very demanding towards my mom. I think my mom spoilt him le la.. Everytime demands my mom to play with him.. hahaa.. or bark to attract her attention. And of coz, he follows me. Hahaha.. coz i think most of the time he sees me lor. And i bribe him with treats.. whahaa... corrupted dog. LOL.. nevertheless, he is still very clever.. and the whole village loves him.

CPU down leh.. wondered what to troubleshoot. The Processor already 5 years old le.. don't know which part is not working right. Maybe a combination of parts ba.. haha... don't know. Anyway, got to go.. coz my dog just LSed.. zzz...

Irritated

One whole week of slacking, it felt rather good.. till the green-eyed monster came.

All was well after the exams.. until now, i got quite irritated. Even though the weather was fine.. with showers almost everyday.. but something just keep irritating me. Argh.

Sometimes i just don't understand, and i seldom will.

It shall pass soon.

Last Saturday:
Was at band the whole late noon till night.. and as usual, i find it quite taxing to travel all the way to the west and then back again. All in all, it took me 3 hours to and fro.. not even no. 52 can help. And 3 hours gone like that.. reached there, and lots and lots and lots of late comers. What's the point man.. already pissed that my saturdays are burnt.. especially saturday night! Still.. people want to chute pattern. Oh ya.. nowadays, the kids are rather ill-mannered. I think the excellence in something had swelled their head. Yet i've heard.. we should not get ourselves be involved in politics. Got home at around 11pm.. and i was darn hungry. Was in a hurry to finish my dinner that i bit myself.. in the end, i've got another ulcer.

Last Sunday:
Again.. early in the morning at 8.30am, i was in boonlay for band pract again. Inmagine how early i've got to wake up to take the bus and all that.. And the band ended at 1pm.. was supposed to be at cousin's house for father's day buffet and so couldn't eat before setting off. Reached at 2.30pm and again.. was darn hungry.. 6 hours without food! LOL.. thankfully, the food was very nice.. took great care not to bite myself again.

Today is ba zhang day.. but i didn't have any cravings for dumplings. I like laksa better.. haha... and nasi lemak. Chicken wings.. BBQ.. wah.. i'm so hungry now.

Oh ya.. pakki is 6 months old le.. and he is irritating me with his barking. He get demanding nowadays, and sometimes will refuse to listen to commands. This is normal.. for he is now a teenager at his age. So had to wait till he grows up.

I didn't get the NDP tickets after all.. so disappointing. LOL.. i really don't have much luck de..

My CPU is down for a week.. and i really don't wish to spend much more.. i'm broked. I really am.

And this leads to.. finding a job.. sigh.. given the unknown.. i can't have much option. Maybe really got to head over to the chocolate factory le.. but now, i just wish to rest a bit more.. maybe a few more months... lol.. i'm so slack.

Thursday, June 14, 2007

2 Hours Later...

After just aboout 2 hours of sleep, i woke up. LOL.. and then i remembered, i broke 2 things last night. Hahaha...

Not my heart of coz.. but 1 bottle and 1 glass. LOL.. and there is long island in that glass lor.. haha.

So yesterday at the bank, the staff asked me whether i wanted to work in their industry or not.. after thinking, i wondered, why not? LOL.. i got experience in retail, and i think banking is not much difference. But still, might be at the chocolate factory helping out.

Maybe the future isn't that hard to see after all.

As everybody says, the exchange rate is going down with the coming holidays. Yah.. and then now for hk dollars, 1 sing dollars is to 5 hk dollars only. But then, for every 100 sgd, the lost is 1 dollars.. so i couldn't care much of it. I'll bring only 500 sgd over.. haha... maybe go there eat cup noodles ba.

Don't know why.. i'm so happy these days.. perhaps its because the exams are over le.. hahahahaa... i'm so glad its all over!

Hiking

It seems, its quite difficult to cope with the economics of today. Everything also want to join in the fun of a hike. That includes chicken rice and even cable tv. It seems that its either go with it or do without.

All hike except income. I don't see the banks paying more interest, i don't that i win 4D. But i just ate a meal of chicken rice that cost around $6 each. Nowadays, everyting seems expensive.. but we just can't do without.. unless i buy a bag of rice and eat plain rice everyday. Market forces are just not working nowadays. I really wondered who stood for economics.

Was home after zouking, and still wide awake. Quite happy to see pakki greeting me so early in the morning.. ahhaa.. and i'm really glad we didn't gave him up. He really made my village quite happy.. especially my mom.. hahaa..

i think i'm quite tired after today's activity.. this morning woke up, and went to bank to open a new account.. lol.. the staff was very friendly lor.. but then when i was finished with the new account thing, my itchy mouth asked them for thier banking products.. and i was quite pissed with the way the staff was trying to coerce me into investing.. haha.. but in the end, i didn't.

Later the afternoon, i went to opened a new trading account... muahaha.. and my dad's broker served me.. too bad the broker is quite busy. Midway, saw a tv star.. wahhahaaa.. i think they are very human too... so don't expect them to do things so "holy".. by they way, they will LS too.

Zouk was damn crowded.. don't know what happened..

Oh ya... i enjoyed supper very very much.. because i was very hungry. Had 2 ulcers, one inside my cheek, and the other on my tongue. I haven't been eating well for the past few days lor.. But was glad.. haha.. i loved to eat, and i loved food that are heavily flavoured. LOL.. today, i skipped my dinner, and so mom cooked noodles for.. but i was sooo sensitive. I knew she didn't empty the soup base.. haha.. the 1st mouth.. i already knew. But i didn't want to say.. coz already i'm so fortunate that she cooked for me.. and also, after all, she did it for the sake of my health.. so i couldn't asked for more. But then.. i was so glad that we had salted veg for supper.. haha.. one of my favorites!

LOL.. so today was a long day.. and come this thursday till sunday, i got to be hardworking in practicing my horn playing.. coz i think they are playing for Mr President! LOL.. such an honour. LOL... i must put in my best... even though i didn't get the tix for NDP... whahahaaa...

Early in the Morning

Yesterday ate too many pizzas le.. haha.. coz ordered too many. In the end, i think i had around 5 slices. So early in the morning i woke up, 1st thing is to go LS. Hahaha.. i think my digestive system quite poor wor.

Nowadays, i had some problems with the electronics around me. 1st, i short circuited the oven, then it was my house phone.. then this morning, my desktop also want to join in the fun.. wa lao eh... sian liao la.. just said that it lasted for 5 years, the next thing it broke down. Should be trying a way to fix it.. i don't have money to buy a new 1 le.

Been very uneasy over certain things, i also don't know why. Perhaps it is after the exams le.. then suddenly had to do so many things.

Tonight will be down at zouk.. maybe mos.. but i think i can't take liquor le.. if not i go there LS. But still, i look forward to the mambo. LOL.

Will it Ever End?

It seems so slow at first.. then everything was over just like that.

I mean the exams.. wondered how it can bring so much agony.

But at least for now, it's over. Time to think of things to do, and to do the things i've thought i'll do. All the time in the world i have, just worried that i didn't have the money accomplish.

And money seems to be a big problem.. hmm.. i'll worried about it when the time comes.

The outcome from the papers might be mixed. Some i did well, and some i did badly. And the probability of repeat for those i did badly is quite high.. especially for CF (where i 'invested' wrongly), FI (i don't wish to say anymore) and for Marketing (i also don't want to say anymore...).. hhahaa... but for LBO, i did attempt ALL questions.. for the 1st time in my life.. and not only that, i completed ALL and while doing that, completed the whole booklet! Whahaa.. and for MSM, need i say anymore?

For all, i don't wish for a pass. I wished for a 2nd. Upper or lower, it didn't matter. Suddenly, i'm all hopeful again. Why? Because if i can secure at least 2 more lower from LBO and MSM, i'll have 3 of them in the bag le.. Plus 2 more new modules the next year, and plus if i suay suay buang any, if not all from the 3 CMI papers this year, i stand a good chance lor. Suddenly, it seems, after repeated failures, i might want to get something out of nothing.. if not, the additional estimated SGD 6k would be wasted.

But for now, i don't want to think. I've used my brain so much that i've been sleeping around 12 hours each day.. whahaha. I need a rest, and then back to pack my room. After 2 months, it's like an earthquake had hit my room.. no wait.. it did hit my room that day when my apartment shook.. whahaa.. but really quite messy.

And then it'll be off to set up a trading account.. whaha.. i chose to be with in the same with the village chief, and then just today, he said he had told his broker that i'll be going down to set up the account. Not only that.. my limit was also pre-determined. But i'll be trading independently.. but i not sure whether the chief will do any check on me.. whaha.. coz i'm new, and i think he's worried that if i'm not smart enough, we all (including my dog) will sleep in the streets.

Oh yah.. getting ready for HK trip! I'll be leaving at the end of june and will be back the following month. In actual fact, i'll be going there for 4 days only. Hahaa.. wow.. looking forward. But then, i might have some phobia of taking flights.. lol.. 2001 on my trip to the helsenki, the plane met a turbulence.. we were in a thunderstorm and that inciddent had left quite an impression. LOL.. since then, i had never flown to other places.. very weird, i also don't know why i've grown to be afraid. Perhaps i've what too much NGC's "air crash investigations".. whahaha... i think i just make myself tired the day before.. then i can sleep during the 5 hour flight.

Last Friday, was out at OO again. It's been a long long long long time since i went crubbing. It was free entry wor... whahahaa.. and very nicely, i've spent less than $40 for the first time in crubbing. LOL. Actually there are much simplier ways to get drunk and in less than $40. Use the tah method plus drink at the 7-11 outside. Whaha.. siao de. No reason want to get so drunk for what? Got xin shi? LOL.. i'm just glad everything turned out fine.

I was quite seh that day.. coz i was tired perhaps. I can't differentiate between drunk and tired. LOL.. but it was certaintly great to sleep after whacking so much.. and i still feel like sleeping now.

And so that day, it was quite empty even though it was a friday. I wondered why.. coz a lot more new places up? Whaha.. after 2 months in mugging, i'm like frog in a well.. what happened to all the rest of the people? Oh well, i saw a few smoking dinosaurs along the way... omg.. i hate that cherry of whatever shity fruity smell.. want to smoke smoke something decent la.. smoke simi fruit flavour de.. i hate it. It made me sneeze and sneeze lor.. and now only that, the smoke got onto my hair.. and it was like i had burnt my hair like that. Thankfully, there is going to be a ban on smoking in crubs the coming month.. whaha.. wondered how it will feel like to be in a smoke free disco.. smells weird huh? LOL.

Pakki is going to be 6 months old this coming 14th. Whahaa.. so fast grow up le. LOL.. and today, after so many times of bathing him, i alone can handle him. Finally... and he let me groom his coat. Finally.. but he still likes to run away with our socks and newspapers... that have got to change.. on the whole, he had learnt quite a lot.. lol.. but i've read up.. dogs will try to train their owners when they are 9-12 months old.. coz they want to be the top dog.. that alpha one. Hahaha.. i see what trick he got then.

Too long never blogged, and too much into essays writing these days, i think i can write another 1000 words also shouldn't be a problem. Whahaa... after all, its purpose was for me to keep track of things that happened around me, and to see if anything good came out from this process. For that, there must be some form of recording.. and what's better than an online journal? LOL.. lol.. i wondered if really anyone would read word for word.. i would be impressed if anyone does.

Year after year, things keep repeating, and i keep repeating them. Whahaha.. will it ever end?

The Last 2

LBO tomorrow, and after 1 full week of mugging late at night, i finally can feel the difference. The marks doesn't matter to me that much, for i only needed a pass. CF dashed the hope of any upper or lower for that matter and now i just wished to reduce the cost and time taken.

For the 1st time, i've written 4 full essays in preparation for LBO.. whahaha.. though i know that choosing that few is not optimum. But what i've studied might not come out.. and that really pisses me.. especially when i really studied.

Too much, and i can't remember. Try memorizing the names and years and the sections of LBO.

Suddenly, it all seems to be a facade.

A few more days, and i'll be the end of the semester. Time to go out to look for a job, or rather, something to keep myself occupied. And of coz, with new environment come new changes, there is no doubt. I won't be surprised anymore. Just don't expect that things will forever be the same.

Rather neglected on FI because i had no time.. with only 1.5 days left after tomorrow's paper, i just wished that i can clear that paper. Of coz, there are considerations to conserve energy.. because, the group from my OG will be down for crubbing. Well, it's been a long time...

And i'm looking forward to mj.. at my house. Hahaha.. but after almost 2 months of mugging.. my desk looks like a warzone. So perhaps not so soon. I need to pack a bit first.

And there is this hk trip.. i haven't changed the currency yet.. and the rates are climbing.. lol.. looking forward also.

There are much more things to do. I want to open a trading account for trading in stocks.. i also haven't claim my tax rebate.. Planned to earn my school fees for the coming semester coz my bank is running dry from 2 years of paying. LOL.. perhaps need to find a job soon.. coz i need to raise at least 2k plus for the "final" year.. and then also need money for my hk trip.. also a bit more for crubbing.. haha.

And Paki just got a haircut last week.. lol.. he became such a botak that i don't recognize him.

Now he knows around 10 words.. haha.. and just a few days ago, he was trained on how to fetch. LOL.. so happy to see that he understands. And since my papers are coming to an end, he will gain his freedom at the same time with me. I'll be at home most likely, and now he need not be in his cage or chained. Sis intend to get him a play pent.. it's like, upgrading his house. LOL.. that'll be until he learnt house breaking. Then at the age of 1, he'll gain full independence. LOL.. we've got it worked out.

Ok.. i've slacked enough.. time to memorize a bit more of everything else.. i don't ask for more.. but i ask for what i ought to have. It should be deserving. Updates after my last papers ba.

What a ^&%$&% Paper!

ARGH.

This is by far, my worst exam ever. The feeling was even worst than that of the previous year. I rather walk out again.. but no. Because i DID study. Not that i didn't.. found it was completely not correlated. Darn.

I can pardon the poor english used.. the mis-leading phrase and so on.. but then.. what's this? I can't find it in the subject guide lor.

Sian.. and sadly, the paper i had so much confidence in was, somehow vanished.

Is it that, we are supposed to do simple calculations with the darn simple no function calculator, we are supposed to think more? I think pressing calculator and thinking is not the same.

Ok .. after all, it's my fault not to study ALL. Yalor.. can study ALL also doesn't mean i can do also. Aiya.. sian la.. next year see CF again perhaps.

Now i demoralized le.. how? .................. there goes my year again.

While Waiting

Done with my CF at 5am this morning, and in the afternoon, i was back in school for collection of LBO text.

Today was set aside for LBO, but with little success. With CF coiming up, i don't have much space for LBO at the moment. Wondered how i did it with just only 1 day the year before.. haha.. in the end, i got 7 marks for a 3/4 page attempt. LOL..

But this year should be different.

Will the champions league results be different? LOL.. i certaintly hoped so. Why? Coz i place a bet on AC this afternoon.. whahaha.. but sian, i got a lowered odds.. for the same asset. Which makes me wonder, as i did in all previous years of exams, can i create a risk free portfolio of soccer bets? LOL.. just kidding.

Waiting for champions league to start.. so quite bored now..

A Short Break

Taking a break from a full day of CF.

APT was so much tougher than i've thought.. coz of its simplicity, there are so much that i can't find out.. haha.. but now i've known.. the best is to memorize the solutions. Who cares about the derivation? (Of coz.. one needs to know how diversification reduces risk in CAPM.. i think there is high probability of it coming out). LOL..

Taking much time to understand, with the pace of 1 chapter per day. Its so risky.. i'm left with so little time for the remainding 2 modules. OMG.. but it shall soon be over.

Today, i tried sometime "new". LOL.. sick of drinking coffee, and i yearn for starbucks coffee.. i tried to make my own mocha. Whahaha.. actually, starbucks coffee is selling in bottled form too.. at 7-11 at $3+ each. LOL.. but $3 is too much for me.. so tried out a recipe i've seen in my camp a few years back. LOL.. too bad it taste quite bland.. hahaa.. perhaps the cocoa power was of a different kind. But nevermind.. coz the cost is less than 30 cents.

Paki did a new stunt today.. he never failed to amaze me. He got a new toy out of nowhere and don't know where he invented a new way of playing, he started spinning with it.. and then, he spin until he seh.. hahhaa.. and he fell down while trying to run towards me. LOL.. and while i was playing with him, a bug flew down from don't know where.. and before i could kick the bug away, paki had licked it up and ate it. OMG.. my dog murdered the bug! He really do have some weird taste.

My break almost over.. time to go back to CF (again).. after the mocha.. i think i can sleep after 6am liao.. whahaa...

Mundane

The lack of novelty makes things mundane.. yet it made things clearer.

I am of coz, referring to my studies.

So much that i realised i didn't understand. Just that, making the 1st step always seems to be the hardest. After that, everything just became mundane. Which makes me wonder, why the initial distress. The 1st is always the most difficult.

Whatever, it doesn't make a much of a drive than knowing more in relation to applicatuions in the real world. I'm quite keen to quit the life of a student.

It seems that, from the point that i can remember things, i've spent most of my time schooling (school doesn't equate to studying). It's been around 15 years of learning. And after so much, i don't consider myself being smarter or dumber than others.. i'm just mediocre.. and sigh.. so much for being average.

Ignorance is a bliss sometimes. But not during exams.. ahaha.. being ignorant is quite fustrating. And when things seems alien, its time to walk out of the exams hall.. wahahaha.. and i'm (not) proud to say that i did it before! Whahahahaa... once in a lifetime wor.. and it's darn costly also.

Hahaaa.. and while studying, i've been coming up with ideas of what to do after i've graduated (or rather, after this exam).. there are so much things to do.. most which relates to securing income for the future. Haha.. of coz, not the equity market at the moment. And i've read somewhere about investment psychology.. the regret of not winning is so great that it makes people want to follow.

I want to be an investor someday. Reason being, i'm lazy, i like to stay at home, i don't mind facing the computer everyday, and of coz, i like money. Hahahaaa... but i lack the traits of being risk loving. Maybe i can only go around earning risk-free. Hahaha.. but while studying CF, it came to me that.. something else was possible. Hahhaaa... oo.. i just can't wait to try it out.

And my dog paki is 5 months old liao.. lol.. and he is still the same size. Now we can confirm that he is a miniature schnauzer le.. haha.. coz i've heard from a friend that, someone bought a mini breed and in the end, it was a standard breed when it grew up. Guess the seller must have mixed up.. or he was ignorant.

5 months old, and he's very very naughty! The usual stuffs they do.. chasing things that moves, barking at things they want but can't reach, and of coz, taking things like socks, newspapers and run around with them. LOL.. cute? Hahaha.. sometimes. But there are weirder things that i can't understand. He likes to eat newspapers.. while some other dogs eat their poops.. mine doesn't. Hahahaa.. but he sure have some weird taste.

Picture of Paki~


Looking forward to the end of exams. Hopefully i can get at least 3 of my desired grades. LOL.. but sometimes it seems much more difficult. I've already missed 3 chances. But nevertheless, i could always settle for something less. Ya.. after all, what's a degree but a backdoor? I mean, if it isn't from a place which they desire, and i couldn't care much more if i'm working in the related industry, why make things so much difficult for myself. Actually, dad once told me, it doesn't matter.. just study as much as i can, so that if there is a chance, i can use the knowledge aquired. It doesn't matter where or how.. just so. Of coz, i've gained much inspiration from the new knowledge.. hahaa.. well, at least i know what is a call/put warrent. I know what the floating and fixed rate is about, and i know how to price a equity given the historicl data.. (pardon me.. the overdose of CF made me want to blog all these)

Oh ya.. and much more.. the Hongkong trip at the end of june~ Hahaha.. wonder how the nightlife there is like. LOL.. Of coz, after the exams, i'll be going to zouk. LOL... but tmd.. all of them can celebrate at 6th june.. only the unprivileged few get to end thier last paper on 8th june. Pui~!

Watched spiderman 2 yesterday on channel 5.. but still i must say, spiderman 3 is still the best! LOL.. Really must go watch wor.

The weather is rather warm these few days.. how to concentrate on studying?

Survivor...

Hahahahahaha.... while studying, i took some time to watch Survivor XIV on channel 5.. don't know whether it was delayed telecast or repeat.. haha.. since the 3rd season, i haven't been keeping track. But due to the lack of programmes on fridays night (going out makes me guilty at this point in time)and also my point of staying home, i began to watch. What made me want to blog about it was how splendid they played this game (though at some point in time, i really doubted reality TV shows).. haha.. but the "plot" was great.

This guy here was faced with a decision - to keep his word, or to keep the chance at a million dollars. Hahaa.. and then the other guy said that whatever the choice, one had to live with it.. i mean.. wow.. the way they choose their lines really make people want to think twice. In the end, that guy didn't keep his promise.. hahhaa.. which i think is "correct".. if you equate promise to a million dollars (USD somemore), who wouldn't? Let's say he did keep his promise, and in the end got voted out and lost the chance at a million dollars.. i don't think the other guy would want to "compensate" him.. the most is, a treat perhaps. Hahaa.. but in this case, no matter what the choice is, it doesn't concern me.. and also, no matter the choice, the guy won't get his million dollars.. coz the jury consist of the guy whom he just betrayed. Haha.. so, never anyhow make any promise.. a promise is a sure lose situation, no matter what.

Sorry for this oversized entry on a tv show.. i'm just too bored studying. Thankfully, i got an additional 2 days.. coz initially, i thought my paper is going to be at wednesday.. but then my mom just reminded me that 25th is on friday.. whahahaa.... how lucky. If not, i might end up at expo doing nothing.. anything can happen during the exam period.. it seems that i can't find my brain at certain times.

Knew this was the final year for my batch.. and everyone is trying hard to score and clear this final lap. And i wish all the best.

No Title

A tree fell down a the bus stop below my house today. These few days, there had been quite a trend of trees falling down wor..

Actually, it's so unpredictable. Perhaps, the exams questions are much more predictable.

These few days, had been rather ill.. Perhaps becoz of the weather, or maybe it was the late nights. Been trying hard to understand EMH, but the empirical results are just too much for me. Especially when there are so many people doing the research.. and when their names are so difficult to memorize.. haha.. now i only remember ball and brown.. lol.

Sometimes i find that i study "too much" for exams.. as in, jack of all trades, but master of none. LOL.. in the end, i can manage to write only a bit of everything. LOL..

Been so much that i wanted to do, but due to exam constraint, i can't. Actually there always been things that i can't do whether there are exams or not..

Bidding for NDP tickets starts this saturday, and i feel like bidding for it. LOL.. a change of venue and i want to experience it. Haha.. but don't know la.. i've been always suay in all kinds of lucky draws and contest.. coz never win before. LOL.. so see whether can get or not lor ^^

These few days, i think i'm better off staying at home..coz of flu and also, i'm rather down on luck these days. I've caused quite a number of things to spoil le. Just the other day, while trying to make so toast for supper, i actually short-circuited the oven. In the middle of the night, the main tripped.. haha.. so suay.. my mother used the oven for 10 years le and nothing happened.. and the first time i use, it spoiled.

Sian..

Who Would have Thought?

Who would have thought? Just like that, Wigan actually survived relegation.

And sometimes, it makes one wonder, how real can it be..

But on the other hand, who cares? haha.. so long the team that you support won. Oh ya.. tottenham ended their season with fifth placing! Wahaha.. hao li hai ar.. yalor.. i support spurs de. Will they qualify for champions league the next season? Haha.. but between fourth and fifth, the gaps seems a bit wide.

Ya.. too much gaps these days.. got liquidity gap, interest rate gap.. ar.. whatever.

This "season" might see me pass only liao.. sigh. It really takes some determination to get out of the comfort zone to really study. I mean, we can just do what we like can we? I don't know.. but it sure feels good to get great results, yet, things seems to be at the opposing end.

Today my family celebrated "Mothers' Day" at my cousin's place. And this lucky paki got to take part in our family outing for the 1st time. Knew he's always curious and to prevent him from getting into mischief, i played with him the whole morning. In the end, i was the one who was tired.

Reached late (as usual) and we or rather paki was greeted. Hahaa.. and that paki went straight to coffee (our cousin's dog) and wanted to play with him.. hahaha.. that mini schnauzer wants to play with a spaniel.. and both of them looks so funny trying to lick each other lor.. well, in the end, it was like another bathing session.. haha.

And to prevent paki from retiring his engine, he was taken away after a few "rounds".. and sure indeed, he was tired and could stand up to human handling.. and that was the best time to do some grooming on him without getting nip by him. But i guess he's still young, and so a lot more to learn. I'm prepared to take a month or two of "no pay leave" to teach him some more before he grows up.

After sometime, he really seems much integrated into my family. And since we were back from my cousin's house, he had been sleeping.. haha.. a tired dog is a quiet dog.. at least he won't be bugging me to company him. And i think he might have a great chance of staying le.. paki's display of obedience and all his nonsensical way of greeting us really cheers us up. An obedient dog is loved by people all around.. even people who are afraid of them.

Ok.. time to study CF le.. sigh.. this weather is so bad, till i got all sorts of flu..

After my Marketing Paper

After 2 days of rest, i finally got marketing out of my mind.

Haha.. it was a very tough paper after all, as always.. but his time round, i did attempt all.. and i stayed throughout the exams.. Finally, everything was back to what it was supposed to be.

3 hours is definately not enough for me and i didn't complete all.. and of course, some questions were attempted in a very sloppy manner. Nevertheless, i still wish to pass.. coz taking marketing again is quite a toture.

Slowly but surely, the exams came.

This time round, all my papers are at expo.. haha.. so far away.. but my total journey time is just around an hour. I've found the fastest route there.. and the conclusion was, no matter how, the train is still the fastest mode of transport.. the only variable is how to get to the station in the fastest time.

And this year, there are a few changes in the hall.. first of all, they've upgraded the chair wor.. hahaha.. and also, there is no worry that belongings will get stolen le.. coz the bags are put under the chair instead of at the back of the hall.

Ar.. please me paas marketing ar.. coz next year changed to principal of marketing le.. ar... sian.

Outing with JJSG

Got home from chill out, and while waiting for my hair to dry, took some time to blog.

Was out with JJSG, and went to watch spiderman 3.. whoa, it was super nice! Not much romance, but nice nevertheless. We were seated on the 4th and 5th row, so it was very near the screen. Just like sitting at the front row during lectures, the line of vision was rather narrow. Hahaha.. and so for most part of the movie, i was trying to catch what was happening at different sections of the screen. LOL.. but it was pretty near, and so can see very clearly even without my contact lenses.

Speaking of contact lense, i'm damn dl lor.. for much of what i've opened, there are cracks here and there.. darn.. next time don't choose that brand le.

LOL.. back to today's activity.. after the show, went dinner and chilling out. Went the Pump Room and we all shared 7 liters of beer! LOL.. that is, the equillivant of 14 large bottle of beer. LOL.. it was super cheap for a 3.5l tower. It cost $56, but the best was, from 11am-3pm.. it cost $22! Wahahahaa... darn cheap leh! If on budget, got time to spare, and having a preference for beer, you could try the pump room. However, the taste is somewhat unique for its brew.. but there are other beer such as hoegaardens.. and its finger food is very economical for its serving.. very generous indeed.

So today, it was and outing to pre-celebrate celine's bday.. and as usual, with live band, beer and such, it was time for bday "sabo". LOL.. don't know who made the request, bday girl ended up on stage singing for the patrons. She sang "ting hai", and the live band, being other ethnic, was very capable of filling in for our bday girl.. i was very impressed.

And when "creep" came, it was somehow back to my jamming days. Days of memories and all.. very nice indeed. The song was very nice too. Halfway, the band invited the patrons to sing, and whoa.. someone went up on the stage, and sang very well too. So well till he got an encore. LOL.. and as if he was there to "ti guang".

Haha.. overall, it was some very nice memory to have, the movie and the chill out place.. haha.. and it came just right to de-stress me during the exams period. I guess, one had to be the best one can be.. if not, it doesn't justify doing, and just like our band performance, if once could settle for a half f job, there wouldn't be improvement.. and so this time round, i'm seeking a "good progress award".. need to challenge myself once again.. i think i've been too laid back too much..

Thoughts by Day, Nightmares at Night

Sunday late morning, and i woke up to a nightmare. Hahaa.. i think must be study until "walk fire go demon" liao.

For the past 2 days, i've been in school studying CF from 8 plus to 4. I've gone through the notes once, and marketing also gone through liao. The only concern is FI, which till now, i've been shelving. I didn't attend any of the revison class with regards to this as now, i didn't want to remember any FI. With 3.5 qualitative papers to go, 1 more is a bit too much.

So CF for many days, till i had nightmare. I dreamt that it was sunddenly the day for exams, and i didn't study for that topic.. wahahaaa.. and so i panicked.. till i woke up. Phew.. hahaha.. for a moment, i need to confirm the date i was at. LOL..

Actually there isn't much time left. 10 more days to the commence of my 1st paper.. whoa.. hoped for the best.

Thursday, April 26, 2007

Oh Why Can't I?

Ar... give me some spare memory can?? ARGH... hao stress ar.. why oh why can't i get them in my head?

CF is so difficult.. difficult in the maths that is involved.. or actually, the curves involved. Can anyone tell me whether Beta can be negative? Since the formula for beta is covar ab/ var b .. and variance is always positive, but, covar = correlation coefficient of a and b x sigma a sigma b.. and correlation coefficient can be negative.. so by right, it is possible for beta to be negative. But then, why, under the SML, there is no plotting for negative beta? If i keep that kind of attitutde, i would surely fail. The probability of such question coming out is so low that it is not worth pondering about.. the best is, just do the past year question.

I'm beginning to doubt the system of having a writting exam.. was it a task of memorizing past year questions and styles? Too bad i've got STM.. memorizing isn't my forte.. i usually derived from what was given. Who can i blame?.. just suay that i started too late..

Sigh.. and now i chwee until don't know what.. like going to doh liao.. ar.. i just need just that few more weeks..

Am i giving myself too much undue pressure? I don't really know.. but i've slacked for so long le.. time to make things right again.. if i can.

I just don't know why.. this year seems so much different. Hope my results will be different also.

Now i want to sleep also cannot.. coz still lagging behind in my studies. Just online to complain a bit, de-stress a bit.. and then maybe make myself supper and its back to study again. I can't say i did work hard for this exam, yet, it was definately better than the previous. And for that, i felt relieved enough. I know it was too late to amend for anything.. but, given whatever that was left, perhaps, the best was never to give up again.

I guess i have to study until 5am like that.. haha.. just like last night, after i've finish watching champions league. Sian 1/2 lor.. AC lost in the last moment.. Actaully i didn't really watch.. i just listen to the tv. LOL. i wasn't too bored studying.. my 2 hamsters are making a din in their cages by running the wheels, and i got paki sleeping near where i was studying. Hahaha.. that toopid paki.. so naughty lor.. but looks so cute when he's asleep.

I got to go le.. hopefuylly by uploading my thoughts, i've got more free space for CF.. haha.. next chapter is: Derivatives..

I Guess I'm too Tired

Inconsistency in my studies.. i can't seems to concentrate for long periods of time.

These few days, i've been sleeping my time away. Having almost a full week of lessons really burned my brain cells.

Been stressed till outbreak occurs.. ar... but i haven't been burning midnight oil. I guess it must be paki's fault.. haha.. coz every morning, i'll receive his wake up call at 6.30am or 7.00am like that. It doesn't matter what time i sleep, he'll just do his job in the morning.. whahaa.. i makes me wonder.. weather is he actually a rooster in disguise?

Actually we've been wondering what he actually is.. haha.. at times, he hops like a rabbit, other times, he'll grind his cage like a hamster.. better still, he plays his toys like a cat.. whahaha.. it really is very fun watching him grow.

And he will never fail to amaze me with his intelligence. Just too bad that this is the age where all the training must take place.. i really have no time for him, and i think my parents are "spoilling" him.. haha.. so he only barks at my mom to let him out of the crate.

Noticed that paki is quite corrupted de.. haha.. in the sense that he will do what was told if there was a treat involved.. and another thing, he seems very excited when he sees girls lor.. whahahahaa...

So now he's 4 months old.. still more to come till he reach the age of 1. Haha.. i think the "devilish" side is not far from now.. lol.

The mini Schnauzer is a very intelligent dog.. so smart that i don't know what to teach.. whahaha.. and there are friends who suggest that i teach him how to play mahjong.. wahhahaa.. why not? There are dogs which do math.. might as well teach him how to play mj huh?

I guess i really tire myself these few days.. and i start having weird dreams.. i actually dreamt of an answer that i had no wish to answer. LOL.. why don't make me dream of exams question instead? Better still, let me dream of the answer ba. Yet, this was not mere coincident.. i was reminded of something a few days ago, and then it somehow got embedded in my mind. Sigh.. i guess i'm really too tired.

Thursday, April 19, 2007

Since Last Saturday

Actually i'm quite excited about this coming exam.. i don't know why, but i just feel that way.

For the past feel days, had been attending UOL lectures, but not in full. I felt that, they are for people who want to score that extra mark, that hard to reach 1-1. But for me, there is too much spare capacity to fill, less that 1-1 or 2-1. So i rather utilize my time to fill in. Such was what the anxiety sets in.. i'm rather paranoid, and sometimes i feel that i will be wasting my time in the LT, coz i won't be listening much.

So i actually opted to skipped partially.. well, full for FI (the last paper, and likely the one that might be superceded by LBO. Well, i did make use of the time while i was "twang-ing".. haha.. i made use of my saturday for mj.. - - and served me right for twanging.. haha.. i actually lost quite a lot for that day. Haha.. next time who wants to win my money.. just come over for mj ba.. siao de, i feel like santa that saturday. Well, i must thank uncle hao for his winning treat, coz i felt rather paiseh.. haha.. people win money liao in the end, the winnings end up in the resturant.

But Sunday, i made up for my guilt. LOL.. i actually went down school to collect my FI notes.. actually was there to study.. but i think my either school is too small, or this batch's student is siao on.. i hoped they solve the over-crowding problem soon. Well, i guess it won't be of use anymore.. TOO LATE. And with the on-going construction, the condition is not for studying. So on sunday, i brough along my lappy for studying, but even on a sunday, i can't find a powerpoint in school.. how suprising. So in the end, i'm lagging in my schedule, by a whole 2 days.

Today was my second LBO lesson, but my brain really cmi by 2.30pm.. so left early to mug LBO outside till 4pm, i'm not guilty.. lalala..

Went TP to shop for my (and i mean my sis or our as in our village)puppy.. OMG.. and i actually spent $60 on his items.. i got a very sophisticated drinking bowl.. whaha.. and 1 metal chain (JIC) and 1 box of treats.. plus a lot of toys.. whahaa.. maciam go toys "r" us like that.. haha.. they got so many variety, until i don't know what to do. Haha..

Today, paki learnt a new command! The easy easy one of "down".. haha.. and within 30 minutes. He's sooooooo smart lor. And this little rascal is getting out of hand... so we borrowed so many books on dog training.. whaha.. and i really think, i can go be a dog trainer after this year (no i won't be graduating this sem).. hahah..

Actually i still don't know his fate.. whether is he going to stay in the village or not.. but while he is here, there isn't a need to think much.

And today, it proved that i'm much a "fast runner".. whaha... so impressed with myself.

Local CF tomorrow.. and another day to chiong (in studies).. huh.. i won't give up liao.

Marketing Plan

2nd entry: Now i don't know why, even blogging seems like making short notes for exams.. haha.. i can't seems to write 2 different subject in 1 entry.

Been going through my marketing notes once again, and i realised, it was marketing all along. It was this paper which started my failing streak.. and the reason was obvious.. my marketing notes was difficult to understand.. and not only that, a lot of things was irrelevant.

The worst part perhaps was, exams question wasn't asked according to topics.. most likely, there are overlaps here and there. Which means, actually there wasn't any chapter i can skip.

Which means, i am running out of time.

So Soon?

Just after a week, paki might have to go le..

Well, that was very typical, too many times, and it was anticipated. Yet, it was quite saddening to think that he might leave soon.

Only a week, and somehow, he managed to wedge himself into my village. Not only me, mom, was already taking care of this puppy. But i guess, afterall, it wasn't up to me.. so we shall see how it goes.

Really, i know i'll miss this puppy.

And that was typical of me too.

Tiring Weekend

Toopid dog woke me up every morning at 8am.. haha.. now i've got to change my habits le.. no more late nights.

Mornings are usually quite boring.. no tv shows and no places to go. But morning is the best time to study.. that is, if i happen to want to study.

Last saturday, i attended band pract again.. and super sian.. i don't know why some pieces are chosen.. i really don't. Either that their choice is wrong, or that my standard is too low. But playing "harry potter".. i think its not something really great to try to sight-read.. ok.. i do agree, my sight-reading is rather poor on this instrument... give me trumpet lor.. haha.. and i can do wonders. (in sight read i mean.. haha..) Siao de leh.. the harmonics so close and with everyone humtum-ing their own notes, i can't really tell the difference. So it was rather sian.. haiz.. perhaps after a full day lecture in school, i don't really have mood to think of music.

Really tiring to attend weekend lectures. Just after 2 days of lectures, i've already drained myself out. Slept for almost 12 hours today.. haha.. really tiring. And this weekend, got to attend another UOL lecture.. plus band pract.. sian diao.

Dog Training

Don't know what the heck things like to happen during the exam period. Maybe i just want to avoid studying.. hahhahahaa..

Been rather 'busy' training my sis's dog, paki - a 5 months old schnauzer. Right now, he's learning about 5-6 words since monday. Now he knows 2 words for sure.. sit and hand.. ahhaa.. next time i teach him how to fly. A few more months, i can qualify for a dog trainer le.. haha..

paki had been quite playful, being a puppy, i really don't understand why he gets jumpy now and then. He jumps when people are near his cage, he also jumps when he's playing with his toy.. and even when he wants to pang sai, he also jump.. - -

Haha.. i would say, he's cute at the moment. Not in appearence, but what he does. He can throw his toy around until it flew out of the cage.. haha.. laugh until i want to peng.

But sadly, his owner doesn't have the time to train him.. so i train lor.. actually, i also don't have much time.. exams coming le leh.. i think i need to go into some siao mode le.. the paranoid mode. Haha.. that type confirm pass de.

Haiz.. here kp also no point.. days still pass, and exams still comes. And even though so, i still need to go band in boonlay... again. ARGH.. and tomorrow got UOL lecture also.. ar...

Morning Call...zzz...

6.30am, i woke up to the barking of mr schnauzer aka paki.. hahaha.. short for pa lai pa ki.. whahahaa... actually he has a name of his own.. but mom prefers to call him paki.

Slept at 1.30am the night before, and 5 hours later, heard paki barking. He seldom barks, and this morning, he barked so many times until i woke up. Discovered that sis wanted to feed him, but mom said don't feed him so early in the morning. In the end, his half-eaten breakfast was taken away.. haha.. no wonder la.. then i think he buay song.. and he make until i buay song.. early in the morning give me morning call. Haha.. but he's still a puppy.. so got to teach him cannot no manners, if not when he grows older, things might get worst.

Funny is how the presence of paki diminishes that of the hamsters.. lol.. i think, my hamsters are more like fishes in a aquarium lor. I only watch, feed and clean their cage, nothing else.. haha. They are untamed till now, and i don't think they'll ever get tamed in their lifetime.

Taught paki a few words.. haha.. next time he can take part in spelling bees le. LOL. Heard that some dogs can do math.. maybe mine can do spelling.. best is write essays.. wahah.. but he knows how to do handshake, for the sake of a few tibits.

Stangely, dad didn't protest too much when sis brought paki home the other day.. i guess either he gave up on nagging my sis le, or maybe he also didn't really mind. Haha.. actually i think he's quite keen too.. everytime ask whether the food is enough for paki or not.. and he even cleared paki's waste. LOL.. heard from my mom that he doesn't help in changing my diapers when i was still a baby.. haha.. how unfair.

But the adorable paki couldn't do much to halt the norm of the papazhao syndrom. Haha.. except me.. i'm too lazy to leave my house.. haha... siao liao lor.. i think i'm going to be classified into 'zai nan' le.. can add a 'leng' in front or not? whahaha... kidding la.

Sianz leh.. i can't remember what i've revised.. argh.. i hate exams.. and then the band pract are starting again.. again, burning my saturday evening... haiiiiiz. I don't hate going to band, but i don't like the idea of getting saturdays burned. I rather my sundays are burned.. no wait.. sunday is for mj de.. so cannot.. haiz.......

Another New Comer

I think my house is going to turn into a pet shop soon..

Today, sis brought home a puppy schnauzer.. hahah.. and plus the two hamsters i've got, i think i can open a pet shop le.. perhaps a zoo also shouldn't be a problem.

Introduced one of my hamster to the schnauzer liao.. haha.. and he seems curious. I wondered what is he thinking.. maybe he thought of eating the hamster? Hahah..

Still haven't got a name for the schnauzer. Waiting for sis to give her a name.

Actually, i used to be afraid of dogs when i was young.. haha.. coz i thought they like to bite people.. but now i think hamsters are more fierce lor.. haaha..


Dog watching the hamster.. lol

Exams leh..

Another month or so to exams.. still not in exam mood as always. Discovered that i don't like exams.. actually, nobody does. But still, i need to prove myself once again.

But perhaps not so soon.. next week hao ma? Hahah... i never change, still as lazy as usual.

Thursday, got up and the usual SOP. LSed coz of the overdose of liquor the previous night.. whahaa.. don't know what's wrong with my digestive system.. so got over the hangover and went to meet up with my jc bandmate. It came as a chance and then discovered that this world is so small. Hahah.. to think that someone actually knew someone. (??) Haha... and to think that things are so easy to guess.

And so since we graduated from jc, we never met up.. suddenly had so much to say, and all about the past. And when someone had too much to say about the past, it means.. yah.. old liao le. Also, found out that my friend was actually from SSA.. haha.. so qiao huh? So i got my friend to get me and my sis beads, coz i thought my sis is going to the US soon.. but in the end, she decided not to go. Might as well.. save my parents and me from worrying. OK.. maybe i won't get to drive the vios ba.. haha.. but nevermind.

Friday, skipped local revision again.. haha... coz i attended before the previous year. Don't know why.. perhaps i'm so confident that i actually started my mugging a year before, i don't actually feel the urgency.. haha.. just don't let this be my downfall.

Since that day at zouk, i've been feeling not ok.. so weak these few days.. take bus also feel giddy, and the whole day kept sleeping.. next time i don't want to drink so much le.. coz too long never train, (and there's no reason why one should) i couldn't hold as well le.. haha.. 1 tiger and not even 1 jug of long island already cmi-ed me.. And been feeling the effects of arthritis.. sian 1/2 lor.. i've already stopped asking why.. haha.. entering the 8th year, and really, the unpredictable condition had much impact on my life. Still it goes on.. yah.. why not?

I still can enjoy.. haha.. Today went K-lunching at kbox plaza.. though its new, but it seems to inherit the service approach from the old kbox near S11 there. Nevertheless, didn't k-lunch for almost a long long time, and i was impressed with the lunch (and the bill too). For $12.50, we get 1 drink plus 1 lunch.. and the serving is quite generous too.. plus 3 hours of K-ing.. $12.50 leh.. such a bargain.

Backed home at 2pm, and actually was jio-ed for mj.. haha.. but luckily not enough kah.. haha.. coz the more i played, the more i felt guilty of not mugging.. sigh.. tian ar.. why are there exams? Why did someone invent such a system... haiz...

KOed by a Tiger

Knew i couldn't.. and after so long, it wouldn't changed. Still can't pit myself against tiger, or anything similiar.

Since the 1st time, it was like this, never able to overcome the potent cocktail. Different system, different reaction, and that was my Achilles' heel. Perhaps the difference was how it was handled. This time round, i had nothing more to say, i just felt tired.. tired for all these while.

So i was sleeping for most of the time, haha.. luckily i got the wall to lean on.. super tired and giddy.. i don't know.. the taste of long island is already enough to scare me off.. what's more, i got 1 whole tiger in my stomach, together with my late dinner.

And as i've expected, i leveled up.. haha.. the 5th time.. and it was beer again. Never doubt, and as usual, regretted. So for the 1st time in 3 months, and it was perhaps another 3 months before i 'forget' this horrifying exeprience. Spare me in the meantime.. i really don't find the utility in crubbing.. this was only for the sake of gathering.

Last time, saw someone dropped her skirt.. and this time, saw Cinderella.. but this cinderella lost 2 of her slippers.. ok.. not really lost, but something else happened to them.. LOL.. i think i had accumulate some bad karma for being 'accomplice'... whahaaha.. wondered how cinderella is going to get home.. lol..

Was again reminded that i wasn't young anymore, therefore there are a lot of options to be made. Sigh.. wondered why i created a path until here.. how am i going to carry on?

After puking, i'm now hungry.. sians.. today wasted another $70 or so.. hahaa.. next time i siam crubbing.. can upgrade my hamsters' home lor.. haha.. actually, i really forgot how to dance those toopid dance le.. haha.. 3 months away from crubs, i guess i really don't have the addiction liao.. coz actually, i was no longer lost. Perhaps the next time is after exams.. whahah.. ya, i'm hinting.

I'm Going HK!

After exams, i'll be going to hongkong! Yay.. haha.. after so long, finally got to make use of my passport liao. 6 years in sg.. the only 'overseas' i went is sentosa lor.. haha. Time to collect another 'chop' liao.. whaha.. the last was to helsinki, and the rest was with my mom's passport.

Was at the NATAS fair the last weekend, and omg.. it was so crowded. So many people lor, and of coz, those giving the leaflet were more than those in simlim. And i guess, unless you intend to go there the next day, it doesn't make a difference if you take or not.. so many of them, how to read?

A lot of promotions, but mostly for offpeak period.. but had to complete my exams 1st.. if not can't really enjoy. Intended to go taiwan initially, but due to budget constraint, the choice was set to hk instead. Not too bad too.. i never went before. But of coz, maybe not to the disneyland this time round ba.. whaha..

JJ they all will be going taiwan for a week wor.. wah.. but with tour de.. and tour the whole taiwan. LOL.. and i chose to tour hk free and easy for 4days.. and the difference is only about $200. Hahaha.. i think i cabbage head liao lo. Actually no la.. coz opted for nice flight and nice hotel mah.. haaha.. so bo bian have to pay more.

Actually can tell hor.. i'm very excited.

And for the not so exciting part, only about 1.5 months to exams.. and still, i'm not studying much. Too many topics to choose le.. and i really don't dare to spot leh.. If suay like last year like that.. spot liao tio pok.. then sian again. Study more also can't remember that much.. the best is choose 5 and hope they come out le. I got 3 essay-based leh.. 5 per module means 15 in total leh.. and 5 is still risky lor.. no.. is very risky. Maybe 7-8 ba.. sian.

Last sunday, we all still got mood for mj.. and we got 5 kah! Wahaha.. and i guess sometimes i really got carried away wor. Anyway, that day bt very suay.. tio cleared. So now i know, luck is really really very important. But still, win a bit only, and not enough to win some pocket money for the hk trip.. haaha.. think i got to win more the next time lor.

Bad Debt Written Off

Whoa.. i'm a bit 'richer' le.. hahaa... but balwant never teach how to write off bad debt.

My friend called the other day, and said he wanted to return me the sum of money he owed me.. and suddenly, it was like getting another cny angbao.. haha.. and like what they say, got lend, got return.. haha.. so happy. But then.. haven't transferred account yet.. haha.. but already very happy le..

Sometimes, i wondered what i'm doing.. most people know where they're heading, but i'm like lost everytime.. ya.. since army days, there are a few in my team that are very keen in doing business.. and 3 years since ord.. they really did.. and not bad too.. but for me, i've been studying since ord.. but the difference is, i didn't do it with determination. Too easily distracted.. but then again, only young once.. so i think it's ok to err. Realised that the cost is higher the older we get. Economically, retaking A levels cost $300.. but retaking 3 modules cost around 3.5k.. and i'm getting older.. and not much opportunity to learn from mistakes le.. Like the other time, we played 10-20 cents.. and i lost $10.. haha.. now we played 20-40 cents.. and i lost $30.. wahahaha.. kidding la.. but it's true. Lesson learnt from mistakes just gets more expensive.

Soon enough, i forgot things that i wanted to forget. Nua until my brain also turned lazy.. haha.. that is, until the internet reminded me that there are things that exist somewhere..

Whatever, more often then not, there are things that even i know, i can't help. And even when i can't help, i thought i could manage. But in reality, i can't. I really ain't that generous.

Ya.. me and my lousy IE again. Hahah.. checked with my entries a year ago.. and my.. people do really change huh.. Next year i check back again.

My hamsters are doing well now.. now growing larger le.. haha.. but they both got differrent personalities. (can it apply to hamsters too?) One is hyper active, and the other is very nua. Haha.. the nua 1 is bacon.. I didn't tame them at all, meaning, they can't be hand-handled. Ya.. they bite. Untamed also meant that they're quite sensitive to their surroundings too.. hiding whenever the light is on. I gave up on teaching them that the light is not sunlight.. haha.. i dunno how to let them know lor.. If i knew how to, i'd like to teach them to play fetch liao lo.. hahah.. kidding.

Feeling guilty over not studying and such.. and so i'm trying to be "good" these days.. whahaa.. but i know it won't last.

Some Peace

Got my wireless replaced finally. In the end, it was a downgrade, coz my older router was no longer in production. Nevertheless, got it done, and finally, restored some order in the village..

Start of Revison Class

Start of revision classes, and i already miscalculated. Hahaa.. and today i saw so many familiar faces. LOL.. and i though i'd be alone.

Weekend lesson is tough.. a full day lesson is more tough. What's more, this lesson is taught by some lecturer with some heavy european accent.. hahaha.. i had a tough trying to understand him, not to mention understanding the subject. But then i realised, he teaches that wasn't mention in the notes nor the subject guide.. ok lor.. win liao lor.

No wonder all wanted to clear their UOL lesson so early. Such time advantage is important.. to those who uses it. Of coz, that wasn't incorporated in my plan.

42 days to my first paper........ kns.. and i felt as if i have lots of time. 1 month nia.. where got enough? Sianz.

Today went to get an unpgrade for my hamster cage.. wahaha.. i think he hao ming liao lor.. house getting bigger.. and i got poorer also..

Today went to the synegry in an attempt to get my router fixed.. but then.. i should have known.. saturday leh.. where got office people work 1? Think is shopping centre meh? Haha.. whats more sad is that, i skipped my lunch just to get it fixed.. and even sadder that i chose the wrong mode of transport and had to walk a long long way.. then after knowing that it was closed, had to waste money on cab again.. Argh.. My mistake leh.. but then i did asked their distributor the day before.. argh.. should have called them directly.. haiz. Well, who asked me.

Sigh.. so sian. I think, this exam period is stressing people.. nobody have mood to do anything.. and me too. And people smsed again.. SNCO band practice resumes on April.. omg.. april fools' joke came early huh?

I'm so tired. Really am.

Happy Bday to Me

Went to get my very belated bday present today.. wahaha.. yah.. adidas jacket! Wahahaha.. although not totally FOC, but heavily subsidised le.. lol. Finally.. got something i really wanted.

Argh.. and my back is hurting so much that i got to rely on painkillers.. sigh.. old problem that just got amplified..

Went out yesterday to study through the night, and well, i was quite impressed.. lol.. coz studied much more than i did the previous year... Of coz, pace was very slow coz the notes are really quite difficult to understand, too concised le..

And i was reminded, the 1st paper is less than 2 months away! OMG.. omg omg omg.. omg.. haha.. but i think next week then start ba.. very tired leh.

But still, i'm free for mj and crubbings.. lol.. subject to financial constraint of coz.. now i've got 2 hamsters to feed.. hahaha..

Too Much COFFEE!

Wondering how come.. i actually start to miss school already.

A few days back, while practically the whole of SIM is busy mugging for mocks, i chose mahjong instead. And for that "mistake", i suffered the worst losses in a single game.. lol.. should be memorable. LOL, and for the 1st time, i hosted mj game at home.. lol.. and i lost with home advantage.. zz.

Even if i won, winnings in the end was transferred to the cab driver.. lol.. but i malu again, coz my 'zha hu' tendency is quite high, haiz.. eyes don't know see what.. and i 'tio bao' again.. for the 3rd time in history.. lol.. and i already realised how stubborn i am.. but why? When people hiong, they don't tio, and when i hiong, confirm become the cannon hand.. haa..

For these few days, i didn't touch any books at all.. i really got to go somewhere to start studying, if not, da bao again.. tio bao is $12.80, da bao is $7000.. lol.. must really study le.

Been stressed over ham and bacon (my hamsters) coz one is too active, while the other is very lazy. Keep waking me up in the middle of the night and early in the morning.. argh.. also, been upgrading their living quarters, until my mom keeps nagging. Today, i made another trip to the local pet stall, and discovered that i can place order for items not on sale there.. wah.. so nice. Modified the old cage (DIY style) to cater to the use of a higher quality waterbottle.. lol.. (the waterbottle cost $4 plus.. =_=)..

Today, i received a sms from wss alumni band.. erm, i won't be joining.. coz till now, things haven't changed much. Weak in playing can be improved by practicing.. yet a flawed management, practice can only make permanent. I don't wish to say anymore.. just take it that i'm petty. But i'm such, for i'm ungenerous with certain things. Sometimes, i liked to be left alone.. haha.. don't bother me too othen. But things change with the change of status. LOL.. it seems that i'm the one bothering other.


I actually regretted a lot of things, and certain things are harder to change then they seems.

Having quite a backache these few days.. until my head got a bit giddy.. zzz.. what is happening.. but even as i complain, it seems that people have their own share of problem.. perhaps, faith might provide the comfort.

Sleepness coz i downed 1 cup of tea and 1 cup of coffee during and after dinner.. argh.. now my brain is hyper active.. couldn't sleep, and had enough of attempting to study..

In the end, i watched whatever show that was shown on the tv screen.. and that includes "my date with a vampire 3".. omg.. what.. that weird show is back again.. zzz. Stock watched with dad again.. and saw the US market red red again.. hah.. i think quite a number of people got caught in the re-adjustment.. too much speculative activity liao lor.. see la... And then dad told me, a local ugrad moved from 70k profit to a 700k loss overnight.. wow.. how unpredictable. But i didn't see the news.. haha.. i only know got one 23 years old girl got her 200k illegal 4D winnings confiscated.. must be a very heart-wrenching feeling to lose so much.

Oh.. this week is holiday week for the schooling kids.. and this maple gave a lot of incentive for people to start playing continuously.. lol.. i already stopped regular mappling for quite a while. Starts to be rather quite meaningless to pursue certain things with real cash.. after all, i prefer things that are tangible. Doesn't mean that i'll quit.. just being less persistant, perhaps less stubborn.

It seems that things that i'm trying to cover are endless.. lol. A few days back, i got myself a haircut.. whahaa.. actually i think that its quite nice leh.. whaha.. well, compared to my botak head a year ago.. lol! I don't think i'll do that again.

Lenghty entry.. coz i don't get to go online that often.. my wireless router spoiled.. and got to take it to jurong for servicing.. well, sis volunteered for that, but it could only been done this weekend coz of her work commitment. But i realised that she's getting rather temperamental already.. haha.. i don't think i can wait till this weekend... lol. I can survive on cable connection.. but i think wireless is better.

There'll be a LBO mock at 8am. But it seems i didn't manage to attend any.. hahaha... really.. certain things are so difficult to change.. hahaha.. haiz..

Haiz.. oh why do i drink so much coffee.. ah kun coffee power sia.. hhahahaaa.... omg.. spare me..

The Day My House Shook

I was using my laptop when suddenly my chair starts to sway... and then i looked at the items on my desks, especially the glass of water.. omg.. i thought the flat was going to collapse or what lor.. haha.

Used to hear that toa payoh and other parts of singapore experiencing the tremors of neighbouring quakes, and used to wonder how it feels like. At 12pm, i felt it once.. it lasted for around 30sec to 60sec.. and as what they said, it really felt giddy.. haha.. Then at 2pm, it happened again. This time, a shorter duration.

Initially, i was quite excited, coz really never felt it before.. but then, i got scared.. haha.. coz i live at 12th storey leh.. if the building comes down.. then i no need to go exams le lor.. hahaa... no la.. really, coz it was really shaking really badly.. haha.. so bad until i got scared.

And yesterday, i didn't go for my mock.. lol.. making a mockery out of the mocks again.. or rather, myself. Sigh.. but this time i felt really bad.. coz i didn't prepare enough.. but it's over le.. say anything also no use.. and i don't want to comment about this friday's paper.. later ponten again.. haha.

And today don't know is becoz of the quake or what, my parcel of examiner's report got delivered to the wrong address.. whahaha.. it went to my neighbour and then the auntie signed for it.. whahaa... but it's ok lo.. coz she delivered to my place in the end.. blame it on the delivery man.

Both my hamsters are getting fatter everyday.. omg.. i must have overfed them le... haha.. and the older they grow, the more they want to fight.. think one of these days, got to seperate them le. I think i rather let them be lonely then getting killed lor.

Been busy these few days trying to get a trojan out of my desktop.. wahaha..must be those mp3 sites.... sians.. it disabled my antivirus and prevents them from clearing the system.. and i've checked.. its a pws (password steal) virus.. waahhahahaa.. heng heng i got no internet banking a/c or brokering a/c.. if not who knows what?

Sian 3/4 liao lor.. and as expected, the stock market kept 're-adjusting' coz of too many speculating activity le.. in the end all tio jia liao la.. haha.. see lar.. when everybody says that its good, then its too good to enter le.. and only when everybody says its bad, then its really damn bad.. which means better days are ahead. Still, i feel that it's not time yet.. a lot of share are overpriced, largely due to speculatations. But been noticing one.. the Starhub.. IPO-ed at $1, and fell to $0.90 after IPO, it is now trading at around $2.80 on the exchange.. lol.. must do somemore homework wor.

Pre-Prelims

Zzz.. this year's angbao draw is shared by 2 winners.. 2! Imagine how much each will get.. 5 mil each! 5mil leh.. put in FD then no need to work le. Yalor, my in my dreams. Haha.. the system 7 didnt work for me as well, just as last year's quick pick. The most i got is 2 numbers.. omg.. what lousy luck i got wor.. haah.. absolutely no luck in betting, gambling and such.

I couldn't sleep, neither could i get CF in.. i really do wish that i'll turn up for CF on monday, even if i don't get back my paper. But still, it seems quite difficult.. it just lack of something.. 3 years studying, and all i've attended was maths prelim.. haha.. the one ever.

Meanwhile, i've got 2 hamsters to take care of - ham and bacon.. LOL.. still now, i still can't tell which breed they are, most likey they're russian dwarf. Haha.. even the pet shop uncle also don't know.. he just get them from the breeder. Right now, they are well, adapting to the new environment. But still very small.. haaha.. till they can't reach the waterbottle.. so i got them a water dish instead.

Ar.. i can't sleep.. but i'm so tired.. and the mocks are coming.. ar.. so stress wor.

The Red Packet Draw

Already nearing mocks, and i'm not even really studying.. but, i went for most of the lessons this year.. (except for tutorial ba.. haha)

And actually, i got nothing much more to blog le.. don't know why, it seems really running dry of complains, and the rest of the things seems nothing notable of. Others, are to sensitive to be posted, and so, it leaves me nothing much to blog le..

Haha.. but not really.. coz tomorrow is the draw date for the 10mil toto! Have you boufht yours? LOL.. well, i bought mine, but wondered how different it is from any other draw. In the end, the 10mil will be split by many, and the prize amounts to that of a normal draw. Haha.. but still, since everyone is buying, why not join in the fun? Haha..

Today, sis brought home 2 dwarf hamsters. Hahaa.. the old cage seems to be too big for them lor.. even the wheel is too heavy for them to turn.. aiyo. Hopefully it is for now only, if not, then i got to buy another cage le.

Back to the toto draw..today i ate buns and dumplings.. whahahaha.. coz in chinese, they are "bao" and "zhong".. so together is "bao zhong" (confirm strike) lor.. whahaa... (as if so easy huh..)

There are around 8 million combinations, and even if one buy all 50 cents de, still will spend around 4 million dollars.. too bad it isn't a game where there is a sole winner.. so even if the prize is 10 mil, the winner might not get all 10 millon.

And then at Yishun (where it is supposed to be the huat place to place a bet), people are queueing up even in the rain... haha.. as if bao zhong one.. drenched le also must buy. But i feel that it is a self fulfilling prophecy. So many people queue no matter rain or shine.. confirm someone will strike de la.. haha.. whereas at my place here, walk in straight away at the counter le.. no queue at all lor..

But whatever the case, will strike means will strike.. use $1 buy quick pick also will strike. Well, good luck then!

Da Nian Chu Er

Tonight i'm staying over at my grandma's place coz grandpa went overseas. Becoz here don't have internet connections, so i'm blogging on 'notepad'.

CNY this year is rather different, perhaps becoz i'm older now. For once, my expectations are wrong when it comes to food. On one side, i expected too much.. and on the other, it simply surpassed the benchmark. Haha.. but it doesn't mean that the food isn't great, just that it differs slightly from the previous year. Another thing that changed, the 'market rate' of the red packets.. haha.. it seems that there is a upward trend.. haha.. so i feedback to my parents.. hopefully they get the meaning..

Just yesterday, channel u showed the movie, "a moment to remember".. wah.. although i saw it before with the then witizens (LOL!), i still find the movie very touching.. especially the ending. But watching at home means can shed tears without being paiseh.. muahah..but too bad i watched it before, so not much emotional fluctuations.. But still, it was a very nice movie other than 'the notebook'. Actually i find the "a moment to remember" rather slow paced leh.. haha.. wondered why. It differs from that time when i saw it. Wondered has it got anything to do with age again.

Though already 2nd day of CNY le, but i'm still packing my room.. haha.. it never ends. Dug out a lot of dust, and a large chunk of memories too. I used to think that i'll be stuck with a memory forever, but i was wrong. The moment a new memory enters, the other one will fade.. though it's uncertain which occurs 1st. Yet seeing things that reminds makes me wondered what have i done.. suddenly, it just turned grey. But having done with, it doesn't stays long too. Will it just keeps adding? Hahaha.. surely one day i'll throw away when it have fade off.. yah.. and when the tie with my feelings are undone, and it resumes its status of just an ordinary object. I'm sure that day will come. Changes, can be nice too.

Oops.. haha.. forgot it was supposed to be CNY entry.. haha.. but i only blog once a week leh.. too many things to enter to my journal.. then i got enough things to laugh at myself when i got older mah.. (yah.. visitors can laugh at my childish entry too..=_=)

Nong time never smile until sleep le.. hahaa.. and to think that simple things can make the difference. But then again, status quo perhaps.

Oh.. and since everyone (i mean my peers) is graduating in the coming june (although i always joked that they'll repeat.. haha.. ), it'll more or less create some pressure on me to find a job after i complete my 2.5th year. Haha.. with only 2 modules to go, it would be a complete waste of time to rot at home. I've already nuaed for a year without proper job le, and i'm feeling the stress of the continuous outflow of cash. Argh.. plus, sis is going to the US during may.. and i might want to 'take care' of the vios.. haha.. but of coz, no free lunch. Either i'm able to, or it would be on loan le.. so, i need to plan my finances le. But usually, the salary one gets is highly correlated to the task that one is expected to perform. (risk/skills/stress/time/responsibilty and so on..) Maybe there are those that feel otherwise? I don't know.. but i feel this way.

And then due to the bullish market, everyone is saying how good it is to earn.. hahahahaha.. especially the economist. And when bad things happen, they'll have a totally different explainations.. very li hai.. the 2 head snake. Wait till the bear come out.. then hor hor hor.. tempted to jump in lor.. haha.. but becoz i'm too lazy, i didn't apply any trading account (yet), and so, just talk only, no action.

Bull or bear also nevermind la.. haha.. yesterday at my uncle's place, my cousin showed me her hamster.. whaha.. so cute lor (i mean the hamster).. it was a russian dwarf, and so tiny it was. So gentle it was. I've kept hamsters before.. of which breed i don't know.. haha.. i just went in a pet shop randomly and chose a hamsters randomly.. but my hamster was a aggressive female de, and it killed the male hamster lor.. aiyoh.. so much for trying to find a companion.. i think i just brought a murderer..... But i might go get one after the CNY.. whahaa.. i believe i can take care of others (i mean small pets and small pets only) at this age le.. and of coz, hopefully it brings me away from my comp.. haha..

Ok.. i've been blogging for very long le.. and it's 10.45pm now.. hmm.. what to do liao lei? Hahaha... still early leh.. i usually sleep around 3am de.. haha.. maybe i go and see my laptop can play simi offline games.. lol..

And yah.. gong xi fa cai to all~!

SNCO Debut Concert

Finally done with the concert le.. haha.. can't say its good.. coz really, effort was seen only at the end. But then again, was quite satisfied given the fact that i got to juggle between saturday classes and band. And certain required parts were played.. so i really did. The rest was just beyond me from the beginning.. so wasn't too disappointed with what was not done.

Actually, i think the whole band is just nervous. Hahaha.. for the trained ears, it was perhaps a very horrific experience ba.. even as i was playing, i already can't find a particular pitch to follow.

It was rather messy, i also don't know why.. there is no focal point. But then, it was not difficult to keep time, though the lights were rather glaring.

Anyway, its over le.. time to focus more on studies. But before i left, i heard that there will be another concert in july or so.. whahaa.. clash with exams leh.. and given yesterday's performance, i think i need to prove otherwise.

After these few weeks of practice, got to know a few more friends, and of coz, band starts to be a bit interesting. Just that perhaps the direction is wrong. I guess i need to polish up too.


Taken at the holding area.. lol.. trombonist and me.

Another week to CNY and i've painted my room door while sis did the main door. LOL.. now my room's wall is blue, door also blue..one more week and i have so many things to do.. still haven't done my cny shopping yet.. and then i'm only left with thursday and friday to get things done.

Yay.. i'm looking forward to CNY! Especially the good food at grandma's house.. whaha.. and mj sessions too.. wahh.. bak kua, pineapple tarts... lol.. just one more week.

eRev CMI

And in the end, eRev was another horrific experience for me. Didn't managed to get most of the class and due to clashes of some modules, i could only choose between one or another. What's more.. 3/4 of my UOL classes are on the weekends - alone.

Yet being solo wasn't what i dread.. its having people asking you, "you alone ar?". Like that like very ke lian like that lor.. no, i'm ok so long as nobody notices me. LOL.. sometimes i just like to disappear.. especially now is the warm up period for the exams. Time to go hibernate or something like that. Need to forgo a lot and i think the best is to be paranoid.

LOL.. yet i wasn't. Too 'free' i was, i managed to get the carom board up to a carom table.. whahahahahahaa.. with a $20 leg set from ikea. LOL.. i think i must patent this idea le lor.. whahaha.. all that was left was the drawers and the table top. And suddenly i realised it triples as a study/dinner table as well! Waahaa.. the only thing i worried is the structural integrity of the board.. i don't know.. the wood seem very cheapo like that.



The partial finished table.

And yet again, i can see many giving that kind of 'wth' look... LOL.. DIY for fun, for leisure, for what ever. So long as i keep within budget (minimise cost), maximise utility, i can't see why it won't worth the time and effort. Of coz, dad again, disapprove of me doing this kind of thing. I think whatever i do he also don't approve de. I want to set up account for trading stock he also don't approve, i want to go help out at the chocolate factory he also don't want, i drive he also must comment.. now i know what 'wah lao eh' means. It means everything also my father. LOL.. not that i don't like him or what.. afterall, he had provided me till i was old enough.. i can't thank him enough, yet, i supposed, i don't need buckets after buckets of cold water. Hahaa.. and that was perhaps the strongest driver for my bo liao handycraft.

I think when i graduate, i can go work for bao shua bao hai job le.. Coz these few days at home, i've been doing revamping. Took off paint from my kitchen celling and repainted them, created 2 lamp shades for the living room side lamps, and planing for repainting the doors. What to do? No money to move into new unit, no money to rennovate, then everything got to DIY lor.. whaha.. sian leh. Some of the pioneer batch of installations still refuses to spoil.. for example, the very ugly celling lamp in my room..

Coz of the coming spring and of coz to welcome the pig year, i've been packing my room over and over again.. and sadly, it seems more like a pig sty.

Nowadays tend to sleep late.. i don't know, but my heart races now and then.. argh.. i don't know.. i don't know.. i don't want to know. I don't want to know why it matter so much, but it really did. I hoped i still remember the lesson learnt. But things happened so differently, contary to what i wanted it to be. Haiz.. may i be well for the coming exams ba.. i can't afford to fail again.

I guess the stress had been building up so quickly, like that of the bullish stock market. I had so much to do, though i always 'pretend' to nua.. Other than housekeeping, making some bo liao table, i still got to catch up with my school work and of coz, the coming band concert.

I can't say how much the band concert had stressed me. And i still got parts i need to practice until perfect.. and then, they shoot the concert manager arrow to me.. sigh.. i also don't know what to do lor.. haha.. count chairs and stands? EXCUSE ME.. but i'm not supposed to know who the fish is coming to perform lor. And not that i didn't asked.. but i get all kinds of unsatisfactory replies. As IF i want to do like that.. sigh.

Luckily this coming week is concert day, tickets are availble through me.. hahaha.. free de lor. Lets hoped all be over soon, i don't want to be simi stupid concert manager, neither do i want to stay after that. Just let me fulfill my promise.

We shall see.
