The Mouse Story..

Wahahaa! i am tian cai~.. haha.. spectacular stunt done by me again!

Was struggling with a dying "mouse" (CPU mouse) due to excessive mapling.. and while i pulled at its cords, it went officially dead at around 1am. And armed only with the keyboard, the computer is almost totally handicapped.. what more could i do but to study? LOL.. couldn't sleep, and LBO came next. It was then 5 am.. and my mind was flooded with Salomon v Salomon.. and for this morning, i slept till 11am.. coz i knew i couldn't maple with keyboard alone.. yes, Alt Tab, Ctrl + Alt + Del works.. and only till there..

So i dug out any "dead" mouse i could find.. and... i found 2! During test, 1 couldn't scroll up and down (that is useless) and the other had no response.. so i "opertated" on the one that couldn't scroll.. and found out that one of the chip controlling the up down scroll had corroded.. no wonder.. and since i didn't have any soldering equipment at home.. there was nothing i could do..


Before the OPs..

Very tempted to install MS on my sis's laptop.. but then, confirm will get butter when she comes home.. lol.. and didn't want to get another mouse.. i want an optical and wireless one (TP didn't sell them.. ).. so watched tv till 3pm.. till i decided to "mix and match" the mice.. lol. It was just a faulty wire on mouse no. 1, and just a corroded chip on mouse no.2.. (btw, mouse no. 3 is not mine.. it's my sis's.. didn't dare to do anything to it.. lol).. so i opened them up.. thinking i'm a tian cai.. but then.. the plugs are different! One has a six pin plug, the other had a five pin slot.. didn't want to cut the wires up.. (it's not reliable that way.. the wires are just too fine..) so i cut out the extra pin plug.. and force the whole thing into the slot.. and.. it worked like a charm~ Whahahaa.. and hopefully, today is the last day of being a full time mapler.. lol.. but nevertheless, happy for fixing my mouse and saving $1 in the process.. (its not the money.. its the sense of satisfaction la..) Ya.. there are $1 mouse out there.. haha.. i know i know..

Champions League's Night

Slept for only a while, only to wake up to the the seduction of Maplestory.. This is getting a bit too far.. haha.. as in, far better.

And yesterday night went to wm's house to watch Champions League.. not that i didn't have cable tv.. but it was better to watch with friends than to watch alone. And on account of the pint of Erdinger and the bag of chips, i went to his house at around 12am.. haha..

I was "early".. anyway the match starts at 2 plus.. so i bought along my subject guide for LBO to study. And yep.. Registered and Incorporated are not the same.. Incorporation by resgistration, in the case of the registered companies.. and there are others which were registered, but not incorporated , such as The Friendly Societies before the 1992 Act. (note: the friendly societies are required to be incorporated under the new act). And of course, there are those which are unregistred and unincoporated, such as the Trade Unions. (though between 1971 - 1974, there was an act to register and incorporate trade unions)

Studied till 1.50am, and went to the s11 nearby to have supper, under the scheme to gain weight.. had supper and went back to watch the game. Well.. or rather, have my dose of Erdinger.. wahhaa.. just a pint of Erdinger and a bag of chips, plus a game of soccer.. what more can i ask for?

Erdinger 'light' and 'dark'

And also, i've just received my "Progress Package" from our beloved government.. haha.. and yupz.. being poor, i got 8+1 for the kind of house i lived in and for my two AND A HALF years of NS liabilities... (liability is long term >1 year).. and of coz, for being older than 21! Hahaa.. just in time too.. for i've missed the few previous ERS.. what i get are ERPs in return. (particularly the $12 ERP i have to pay for not inserting my Cashcard over Orchard road) And no, i'm not being a bootlicker.. i think it was great that this country is stable, (especially when they have budget surpluses to share), though somewhat boring.. and credit goes to our government. Think i better not discuss politics.. if not later they take down my blog.. haha..

So a boring Singapore? Erm.. i don't know.. i have rooted in this country.. like a frog in the well, tortise on the mountain, Anaconda in the cave.. muahaha.. but still, was hatching a plan to go hk this july.. should people stop playing ps. But now i have fears.. i'm not quite sure if i dare to take planes.. especially it was going to be an UA flight.. who knows which kuku is also hatching another plot? LOL.. if possible, let me take a cruise there ba.. haha.. anyway, its too early.. and my passport is renewed.. so no worries.. somemore had the additional $900 to go overseas.. wahaha..

Erm no.. i'm using it to Zhng my CPU.. wah sian.. even the mouse also want to play punk.. malfunction le.. so hopefully tomorrow i won't ps my colleague again.. haha.. maybe going down to Sim Lim to get a new chassis, motherboard, and family.. what i'm looking for is a transparent chassis.. aww.. then i'll zhng neon light, water fan and waaah.. pro. If not.. maybe a normal black chassis will do.. they cost much less..

Back to yesterday.. watched till 4 plus early in the morning, but decided to went home to sleep instead.. so i walked home alone early in the morning. (i want to save on the cab fare.. cannot ah?) Took around 15 mins or so.. footsteps were lighter in the morning .. and i enjoyed the breeze.. or was it an eerie breeze? Hahaa..

Anyway, 2 more days before engine was warmed up.. haha.. 2 weeks for each subjected.. ok.. i'm short of time. And, i didn't study before the mocks.. ok.. i'm in deeper shit now.. haha..

Retain The Retainers

Too long never blog le.. coz really nothing interesting to write about. No much happenings.. and luckily not much happenings.

So the day before (25th March - Sunday), i went to school.. yep.. on a sunday.. it was a great day to sleep.. but sadly, had to go.. coz it cost money. Thought that i would be alone in UOL class.. haha.. but luckily vincent and elyse were there too.. if not i'll be so "wu di" liao.. (wu di si ji mo).. hahaa.. but lunch time i play ps.. coz people ps bt in school.. haha.. so went lunching with him instead. And sadly, the megabites is full.. as the only monopoly. I think they must open gigabites liao.. megabites too small. So we called up jj to arrange for lunch in Clementi.. wahh.. and i think must follow those two for lunch le.. confirm will put on weight.

So i enjoyed my lunch till i was 30mins late for class... haha.. what to do.. i don't have a car to drive wor. LBO seems alien to me.. and the lecturer confused me even further.. it seems.. even the law isn't always the case. There are exceptions.. weird. Anyway, everything regarding school shall wait till April. Mapling in Progress.

So after class, went home to get changed.. and went suntec NYDC for dinner with JJ, ML and BT.. wahaha.. coz need to 'expand' the gift voucher.. so we went again. And i did a spectacular stunt.. jj wanted to order hawallian pizza.. but i wanted to try something special.. and so me and my itchy mouth ordered a 'dynamite' pizza.. haha.. and i think we all 'exploded'.. it was ultra hot.. for the 1st time i can feel numbness at the back of my head after eating chilli.. lol.. and the joke of the day was, anyone who ordered that as the main course will confirm cry.. haha.


See the chilly chilli stain? Minds' Cafe.

And after dinner, went minds' cafe to play board games.. haha.. heng they don't have mahjong.. (or do they?).. but it was $2.50 per hour.. and in the end, spent around $7 for 1.5hours.. it was very fun.. haha.. very challenging.. but actually quite expensive compared to mj.. haha..

Anyway, must adjust mood to studying already.. April is just 1.5 months away from my 1st paper.. haiz.. played too much these days.. lol.. but who cares?

Oh ya.. btw, went for dental review.. and i didn't bring my retainer.. lol.. in the end, i did not get my review.. but ended up having a dental check-up for $50.. so expensive.. haha.. and now i know the meaning of retainers.. is to be retained, not only retain. LOL.

The Greatness of the Beer

Whoa.. back from liquid kitchen.. had my dose of Erdinger at a weird time.. of coz together with my ba chor mee.. haha.. the prata house rennovating.. muz be earning a lot.. so can expand business le.

Been quite some time.. something to rejoice.. my level dropped. Just after pint and i can feel teletubbies (Tipsy) already.. muz train to maintain level.

Sometimes beer can do what people can't. And there's a reason why people drown their sorrows in beer. Although not recommanded daily, (just like taking vitamins) it's good to use alcohol to induce words that are more than words. Sometimes.. And of coz, it goes well with chips and football. I'm not football fan, but it's great. Maybe going to wm's house next week to watch... (actually i'm looking forward to the chips.. wahha.. )

Anyway, didn't have the time to do a lot of things.. and jamming is on my list of to-dos. And planning to tab Jay's 一路向北.. haha.. somehow it brings sadness.. must be Jay's superb acting.. haha.. and to wm and bl, it was the song with a special meaning as well.. so, looking forward ^^

Anyway, it's 2am already.. having POA lessons tomorrow.. so i must not be wilful.. maple can wait, blog can wait.. Balwant cannot.. haha.. less mapling, less everything, more studying. Just for another 3 months.. everyone +U ba.. of coz during this period with this kind of weird weather, it's best to drink more water and rest more.. if not it'll be prone to sickness.. lol.. enough of my "nagging" time to turn in.. (for the night la.. )

It Ain't My Fault!

For an hour, i was rather moody. I don't know.. and there seems no where to get away.. for this is life. I really thought if i'm positive enough.. just enough, everything would be alright. Maybe not the case.. maybe i wasn't busy enough.. maybe i just had too much to cheer about the week before.

Went to town in the afternoon.. supposed to meet SH, but i was early.. so wondered around aimlessly. Went Novena Square and then to CP. I'm just so glad to meet my ex colleagues.. though they are quite "mean" during work.. but seeing them really brings a different mood to me. They are all in battle mode.. at least i could chiong with them.. or even against them. And suddenly the whole world was there on a Tuesday.. i wondered. And i was told, it was card night.. or card members night.. and to them, i supposed it was "cut" night? haha.. a time for them to practice their sales cutting. And at there, i was back to "work" mode. Lol.. to think i was going to promote as well.. lol. So stayed there for almost an hour till i was late.

Met SH at suntec.. supposed to buy work clothes.. but in the end never. So end up having dinner at marina.. whoa.. i ordered Jap food.. Garlic Sotong.. and it doesn't seems jap at all.. = = Nevertheless, it was great.. and expensive as well.. lol. At least i can still eat.. that means i'm ok.


My Garlic Sotong Rice.. looks delicious huh?

POA Revision tomorrow.. i supposed i'm alone? Hahaa.. maybe i wasn't.. but i'm anti social de.. to dependent on one clique i guess.. And since year 2, the clique sort got their own things to attend to .. all are busy people wor. So attending alone, eating alone.. everything alone.. haha.. i'm so pitiful. Lol.. it ain't that bad.. i'm just trying to zhuang ke lian.. hhaha.. well, see who i'll find tomorrow.. and maybe i'll stick to them? Hahaa..

Oh ya... forgot.. i kena the blame shifting again.. and i just hate that. The only thing that i dislike.. for people to shift their own bloody fault on me.. be thankful i didn't shift mine to them... why? My fault again? PUI~!

So Obvious

Its so obvious.. so so so obvious. Actually i sensed way long before.. but whatever it is.. so be it. but it is an uncomfortable feeling.. haiz.

And now only on my mind.. still weight gainning.. not easy at all! Who says slimming is difficult? Try gainning weight. Lol.. jia jia got 1 difficult to read jing.. (jia jia you ben nan nian de jing).. lol.

Anyway, its boring all the time.. especially with studies. Still mapling, still nua-ing..

I wish all to be happy always.. definately including myself. There are just too many things that will make one sad. So cheers always~

I'm Level 35

It is official - After 2 weeks of Mapling, i've managed to chiong to level 35! Wahahaaa! it is possible it seems.

Think its time to hold back.. Exams are comming!

And i think my luck is running out.. or maybe i wasn't skilled enough.. Didn't know what happened.. suddenly kept losing money at mj table.. and it was all 2 x gor tai cannon hand.. argh!.. haha.. how irritating.. lol.. and plus i lost another $10 to the taxi uncle.. haha.. still, it was better than clubbing it away.. Reason being, i'm a boi.. so need to pay cover, this and that.. and gals don't need to pay for the liquor at Dbl O.. where got like that 1.. And as such, i could spend around $50 - $70 per clubbing session... but still i love the music.. and i like to see them dance the ah beng dance.. hahaa..

And maybe its just another passing phase.. Just like K-ing.. i find it rather boring now.. haha.. don't know why.. maybe crubbing will be next. Band is also boring.. and heng i withdraw out from the concert next sunday. I don't want to make a fool of myself. But maybe i'll go there see some **** perform.. lol. That was what wm suggested.. but i think he'll ps last minute.. coz he's always busy.

So i continued to pack my room today.. and saw something that cracked my heart again.. and its empty somemore.. how could it be. Me and my stupid idea again. Suddenly i felt rather disturbed. It seems that depression can be contagious.. please.. don't pass it to me. I was rather happy go lucky these few weeks de lor..

And i really like those music at mambo.. And since i wanted to save on clubbing.. i blasted it on the pod.. haha.. suprisingly, even without liquor, i was quite 'high'. Now i know what self high means... haha.. too bad my track isn't non-stop.. and i don't know how to dance the ah beng dance.. so it wasn't that fun after all.. haha.

Felt a surge of mosquitoe bites these few days.. and luckily i learned how to snipe mosquitoes from the army.. (it was important in order to ensure a peaceful sleep).. so in 2 days, 4 mosquitoes 'retired'. But still, i can feel that there are somemore left... irritate me again and they'll know. Think must be the weather.. hasn't been rainning the few days.

It's now 3+1 at the village again.. yupz.. finally it was decided. What could i say? The disgusting desk is back at my room again.. Might as well.. time to place the 4 stacks of notes and study guide on it.. hopefully it'll get me started..

Monday.. yep.. time to cut down on mapling and increase time on studying.. of coz, mj sessions are still welcomed!

Lost Without MS

Finally the maple update! Whoa.. waited all day from morning till 5pm.. and then they opened the client. A new world, yupz, aqua road or whatsoever.. plus a lot more cash items.. of which includes one that does x2 EXP. Very tempting.. but it's another way to pay for the game. They are so damn smart! For that item alone cost 15000 A-cash, equivalent to SGD $15! Plus other features such as pets and their function - another 15000 A-cash. And they even allow maplers to marry each other! Wahaha.. and same as this world, in MS it cost a lot to get married.. plus, yupz.. the use of A-cash for the wedding costumes.. More $ input into this game.

Still, it isn't a problem to pay if needed to.. but i'm been holding myself back.. haha.. so now still playing for free. But the reason might be.. i'm just too embarrass to get the A-cash card OTC at this age of mine... wahaha.. Hmm.. i wonder whether the popular bookstore in my school sells it or not.. During my NS days, i played 3 kingdoms online with my buddies in the Army.. and while we weren't fighting in actual life, we were killing enemies in the virtual world. Even my 2ic also joined in.. haha.. But it costs SGD$19+ a month.. very expensive.. plus a dollar plus for each item card.. i guess i just got carried away. Or was it that the army life was too boring?

Today is another boring day.. nothing much to do without mapling.. (the stupid patch took hours to complete).. that's why i can find the time to blog.. so from morning, i cleaned my room, make my bed, and folded all my clothes.. and still was bored. yupz.. but i didn't upkeep my instruments.. they are so ma fan.. like cars like that.. haha.. must upkeep every so often. If not any small problem will become BIG problem..

And the BIGGER problem is that i can't bear to sell them.. it's just not worth it.. i'll be paying 3/4 of depreciation.. and it's only 6 years old. Oh great.. now the patch file is corrupt.. argh!.. when will i get to maple again?

Am I The Lucky One?

This is a lucky world! Everything.. everything depends on luck. Mahjong depends on luck, blackjack depends on luck and even MS also depends on luck.

This is not a realistic world but rather, a world that runs on luck. Who knows the next moment what will fall from the skies? Maybe even ET invasion. It depends on which time and place one is born. And that is luck. But of coz, not 100% luck.. juz like mahjong.. muz add some skills too.. but still, a beginner can still win gor tai with luck. And that is called beginner's luck. Even Toto also like that.. people buy $1 quick pick can win 1 million.. i buy $20 quick pick cannot even get 3 numbers correct.

Finding a good offer also depends on luck.. like we all selling bedlinens like that.. If one is suay, most likely will tio chop by cabbage choppers. Exams also like that. .suay suay spot wrong question and it won't make a difference between studied and didn't study. So.. luck is very very important.

Why the sudden emphasis on luck? Well.. firstly becoz i'm still in a daze.. (don't know what i'm really blogging) maybe from the excess indulgence in MS? haha.. but today i got the legendary fish spear! All by myself.. yeah! Oh ya.. met someone in MS.. not someone i know in real life.. but then was very weird. And it brings me back to the days of IRC.. wahaha.. where we go by "intro pls" and "22/m".. lol.. And then it was guessing each other's age.. i don't know.. i have an inbuilt suspicion mechanism. I don't really believen most of the things "she" said.. haha.. that includes "her" gender. But well.. i do get a lot of help here and there.. and there is something.. sincerity. Well.. it sure makes mapling an unforgettable experience. Like real.

And then.. i got to level 30 today. Finally a Spearman.. waaahahaa.. all within a week. the problem with me: obsession. But 1 thing i'll never never be obsessed with - studying. And strangly, the things i'm obessed with, i'm not very skilled. Maybe need a bit of luck?

Stayed at home too much nowadays.. banned from working by the village chief.. so where to go leh.. go FM shopping ah? Haha.. Maybe find someday to go back to CP and drink with them better. Anyway, the proposed MOS is called off.. whoa.. sian.. and almost the rest are all going for a break after the mocks. Maybe its my bad karma.. never went for mocks.. thats why didn't deserve to go..

Already spent quite a bit from my pay.. and i'm thinking of 'upgrading' my Comp.. by 'upgrade' means buying a nicer outer shell.. and had to change the mother board as well.. coz the one i'm looking at is a smaller CPU. But i liked those transparent tpye i saw at the IT fair.. nice! But it's homemade 1.. unless i go built one myself? or maybe i haven't discover it in Sim Lim yet.. anyone knows of it tag me.. Thanks~ Then i want to install the water fan, plus those with colourful lights.. wahaha... people zhng car.. i zhng cpu. but 1st got to get rid of my CRTV monitor 1st.. i want an LCD.. if got plasma better still! then use wireless keyboard and mouse.. and i can lie down on bed and play game.. wahahahaa! But then.. then.. i don't have the money to zhng my pc. The ipod sapped away my money. Everything also wireless, everything also USB.. now i don't have enough USB ports already.. i need 1 for my camera, 1 for my handphone, 1 for thumbdrive, 1 for printer, and 1 for the ipod. And in total i only had 4 ports, of which 1 is spoilt.. and whenever i tried to change, the graphic card when loose.. argh! Irritating!

Well.. up next.. revamp my blog.. (i know i've said it since last year.. ) I'm still trying to find a background that matches the theme. Maybe take a pic and photoshop and see how it goes. And i wanted to change the song too.. this song listen too much will get depression.

And depression.. they are contagious. Too many sad people around me already.. i guess it's the exams.. it makes people go crazy. And that includes me.. it was the same during my JC days.. i think that was worst. But in the end, it was all over. I didn't get into a local Uni and all the things that follow. Aiya.. the more i blog the more depressed i am.. haha.. muz go find some beer already.

Its Always The Case

Was in a daze these few days coz didn't have enough sleep.. ok.. the outcome is.. i didn't go for any mock papers afterall.

Some things are hard to escape.. well.. so be it.

Sunday, March 12, 2006

What Am I Doing?

Yesterday was a bad day.. woke up from the wrong side of the bed.. no wait.. i didn't sleep at all. All becoz of 2 cups of coffee. That wm jio me go prata house have dinner coz his house didn't have.. but i have eaten already.. so i asked him to help me ordered coffee tarik 1st. (becoz the usual me is always late.. since he was there already.. might as well.. ) but then he ordered wrongly! Coffee Chino or don't know what he ordered.. so drink already no kick.. haha.. so i ordered a Coffee Tarik.. end up couldn't sleep for the whole night.

And not that i didn't want to.. i could lie down and fall asleep at around 6 a.m. .. but still need to go to band practice. Me and my itchy mouth.. went to ask them if they need any support.. and so it was at the new WSS .. or rather a very old building at Toa Payoh. Didn't know which bus to take.. and that wm again.. told me the night before to take 58. And i end up in Tampines early on a saturday morning.. almost going to Pasir Ris already then i alight.. coz i didn't want to take the same bus back to Bishan again.. feels stupid.. but i think the verdict is, it's more stupid not to get down as soon as i've discovered the route was wrong. I knew the new campus was at Toa Payoh.. and when the bus 1st came to NYJC (Serangoon), i sense something was wrong.. but i trusted the information given.. somemore i didn't have other options.. but when it came to Ubi, Eunos and so on.. it was confirm travelling in the wrong direction.. Northeast instead of South. And then i discovered.. i forgot that place called Toa Payoh already. Somehow got it KIV somewhere.

Anyway, i spent the 1st 2.5 hours of the morning travelling.. and finally reached the school. Went in and saw.. the same old people. Nothing changed. And i'm disappointed. Thought after about 1 year not around.. they could have at least got better. My first thought was, how do i perform in a band like this? It won't do any paying audience any justice. So i actually told them i won't be playing. The other reason was, they were actually quite content.. seems to me that they were oblivious of their standard. And and.. seems to me that i was a threat. SO? I didn't have to oblige.

And it was scary all the way.. and warm and without air. Total time wasting since i could use a sleep that morning till evening. I had given up totally. Totally. I rather play MS and not sleep than to go for a band practice like that. Being weak isn't a flaw.. it's when they didn't realise. It was so scary. Another more practice and they are going on the VCH stage. Luckily VCH not as prestigious anymore since the days of the Esplanade.

It was tiring playing in a band as such.. all very trying to outblow each other.. and to make myself being heard was difficult. That's why i chose to jam instead to band nowadays. Friends will listen to comments.. band players don't. They are a bunch of Soloist. Actually i feel that, it was a place for some people to satisfy their ego in on way or another.. for some, it was total musical superiority.. for others, it was the feeling of being in charge. And i can say.. i am no primary or secondary kid. maybe it was me in the 1st place? In any case, i just don't like the management there.

Anyway, was very disappointed.. didn't want to have anything to do with it anymore. Hopefully. So i went off early, didn't want to kill myself by staying. Reached home and start mapling. Went out for a family dinner after that.. and i didn't sleep for almost 2 days already.

Was damn tired and i could sleep while eating. Supposed to have 10 seats at our table, but last minute my sis chute pattern again.. so we have in total we have 5 empty seats. The other 3 also.. but they are my seniors.. so cannot say chute pattern. Haha.. halfway, the organiser asked whether can accomodate 2 more ladies.. actually 2 more aunties. So 7 of us. I didn't quite like the feeling of sharing a family table with people.. if food court i don't mind.. but a dinner like that? Though, my grandpa is still very friendly towards them.. he's our PRO.. haha. but just after one dish, they left.. coz the fan was blowing directly at her.. But she was KPKB-ing all the while. It was as if she was blaming us for letting her sit in such a seat. Oh please!.. it was supposed to be seated by OUR family members. And somemore eat like 20 days never have any food.. argh! so irritating! Somemore i didn't have enough sleep.. argh.. total suffering. Anyway she could sense my AP coming.. so she and her friend left after the cold dish.. luckily.. haha.. i could eat as much as i want.. maybe too much. Haha..

Actually the dinner was a 7 year anniversay celebration for a lion dance troop.. and my dad's friend was some organiser or don't know what rank.. haha.. so got a table lor.. Anyway, i was rather awake there. Other than the constant sound from the drums and cymbals, they other thing that kept me awake was actually my glass of free flow Carlsberg! Waaah.. haha.. it seems to be a good day after all!

iPod, I Pok

Went IT fair yesterday (9th March) with only one objective - get an ipod nano. But before that, was supposed to accompany sh to giordano for an interview.. but the usual me.. was at home mapling till i was late.. haha.. so i told her that i'll go to suntec to get the pod 1st before going to meet her. Took 162 to suntec.. but it took an awful long time to reach.. and don't know what my empty head is thinking.. didn't alight at the stop as i thought that the bus is a loop service. In the end i found myself stranded at shenton way.. argh! And don't know what my empty head is thinking again.. didn't took a bus back but chose to walk instead. Under the burning sun at 2p.m., i was almost BBQed.



The legendary "Boon Tat" St... wahahahaaa!




Wanted to take the whole name - Esplanade - Theaters on the Bay, but couldn't coz my 6260 cannot zoom out, and if i move back anymore, i'll end up in the middle of the road!

So i walked at the way.. something like City Venture.. haha.. finally reached suntec after additional walking of 30 mins. And my.. it was not as crowded as i expect it to be.. but i'm suprised at how many staff there were... i think it's more than the crowd maybe? Haha.. so i spent hours walking around trying to find the apple booth or rather, an ipod.. but after hours.. i still couldn't find it. SH came to meet me after her interview.. and i told her i couldn't find the booth.. haha.. maybe i was dreaming or something? Until when i've decided to go, some purple t-shirts caught my eye.. and i can see the Apple logo on it! Finally.. haha.. and met SH's schoolmate.. she's also working there... so the comission goes to her.. but before that, we went to BK for a drink.. i was exhusted.. so while resting, discussed which 'size' to buy - 1GB, 2GB or 4GB.. but in the end settled on 1GB only.. for $268 (as advertised) includes $33 voucher and a silicone pack.. don't know where it comes from.. so i add another radio receiver for $88.. in total, $323. Before leaving BK, SH told me to beware of her friend.. she says women are very li hai in pushing sales.. haha.. okok.. i get the idea.. i was once a sales staff too.. At the booth, SH's friend told me there's a $20 cash-back if i pay with credit card.. = = If i have the ability, i'd have signed up for a card and get ipod nano FREE le.. haha.. yupz.. and thanks to Chloe who helped to check the price of the nano for me.. too bad i bought in impulse.. well.. refund?




Finally got it purchased, and burnt a hole in my wallet.. and made my heart sank to my stomach. And their plastic bag, pink in colour! OMG.. hahaa.. first it was purple, next pink.. what colour next?

Returned to home base (Thomson) to get my contact lense done finally.. All was done that day.. all except my POA revision.. so in the end i skipped POA mocks as well..



Mapling these few days.. now a level 24 noob.. and it was just days ago.. just discovered my blogs were also infested with adware.. please get your popups blocker up.. Changing the way which i post my pics.. using the programme offered instead of "hello".. but i don't know.. i don't like the idea.. haha.. excpect maybe all the pics are in one post.. maybe i'll find a better one.

Can't Believe This..


Look at the tiles i've got! And i didn't win that round.. argh!.. wasted!

Mapling!

Wasn't really studying these few days.. was actually mapling. >.<

But still, i won't be failing my prelims - reason being that i'll not be attending any papers.. haha.. oh no.. think i'm getting myself into deep trouble..

And i can find the mood to begin another blog.. waah.. and it's all about MS (MapleStory).. okok.. i know i'm still being childish.. haha.. but guess i'm just too bored. Went to my cupboard to find some games to install, but didn't have much online game.. and i'm actually quite tired of playing 3 Kingdoms.. and somemore didn't have the PS2 with me.. So all day long, i chased mushrooms, fly with ribbon pigs and battled snails.. and actually cleared the beginner stage within 2 days.

And then there goes my POA..

Have been drinking powdered milk in bid to maintain my weight.. working really burns my mass.. either that or it'll burn my wallet.. so no choice. But now i'm going on an 'intensive' 'weight gaining' programme.. maybe to increase by another 5 KGs? And now i got a new nick name.. - "gu ni ti".. meaning milk pig.. thanks to my dad huh! And while watching tv, i asked mom why they only advertised sliming programmes and not weight gainning.. and her answer was very logical - "coz it's easier for them to slim down than for me to gain weight".. hahaa.. no wonder.. lol!

Finally the last episode of the "Conquerer of West Chu" on Channel 55 - a drama about the conflict between the Hans and the Chus after the 7-states waring period. Wow.. and the ending sets me thinking yet again.. something about the prevailing stituation such that something happens.. and such was called 'fate'. And finally.. it actually can be very simple.. just simple.

Enjoyed the 'holidays' so much that i could smile in my sleep.. wahaha.. maybe simplicity is better. And on my list - MS , mahjong (mj), Table soccer (TS).. just these alone.. i'm more than satisfied. Hopefully i'll be contented.. if not i'll end up creating some new troubles for myself. Of coz.. almost forgot.. Crubbing with my friends! One with the Warlords and the other with some of the Exco.. hmm.. hopefully nobodys PS (pang seh).. amist all the exams.. i am still thinking of fun.. huh.. remarkable.. lol!

So Tired

Never felt so tired trying not to sleep.. the first time was during my JC days.. due to the 'overwhelming' school work.. or rather street soccer, haha.. i couldn't kept myself awake through the night.. but now in SIM too?

Was out studying the night at Bukit Batok Mac there.. set to complete POA revision plus a bit of FI.. so i brought the whole stack of POA notes and FI study guide.. but in the end.. i only completed 2 chapters out of the 22. Hahaa.. no wonder my bag seems heavy. Of coz i'm glad.. it beats watching tv at home.. haha..

It's been a week since i stepped out of my home.. and nothing much changed.. haha.. not as if new MRT lines are being built and Changi has a new terminal.. but then, it can be quite boring. Due to the stresses of the examinations, almost the whole planet is hibernating... so had to stay home and try to study as well.

And almost all went to the prelims.. all except me.. and i'm beginning to feel guilty.. guilty as a boy can be.. hahaa.. First it was my graphic card, next it was my sound card.. argh.. now no more mp3s.. should not have assembled my own CPU in the first place.. it's been almost 4 years.. and while it's still up and running.. i think it's time to change.. this CPU is too 'sensitive'.. just one knock can render it useless.. spent $900+ on this CPU, of which $200 on the stupid graphic card.. Time to tour sim lim soon.

Still feeling tired.. think i'm going back to sleep again..

Just as Expected

Just as expected....

Nothing much accomplished today at home as well.. hmm.. and didn't sleep well at all. For all i know, i won't be turning up for marketing paper tomorrow as well..

So the whole day, i packed my room and my computer.. think i got to change a graphic card soon.. kept giving me the same problems.

Band practice tomorrow.. but guess i won't be going for anything afterall.

To Go or Not To Go?

To go or not to go? (so many Os).. I've only prepared 1 eassys out of the 4.. and most likely if i go, i won't be seeing my scripts anymore..

They are trying to murder me it seems.. 2 essays in a row.. i rather work for another month! Things got postponed becoz of exams.. and it seems that always. There are always too many things, too little time during this period.. and when it's all over, there isn't anything to be done afterall.

So while i ponder.. just hope that i'll wake up early tomorrow for the 1st paper.

A Little Bit of This and That

Wah sian.. tio pang seh this morning.. waited till 11am till the collection was called off.. and then it spoilt all my plans for the day. Nevertheless.. completed marketing today.. and it'll be down to essay preparations later in the midnight.. and at this pace, i might just abandon LBO after all.

So it was none of mission completed after all.. maybe slacking at home. Seems that i can't do without my afternoon sleep.. not nap.. coz i can nap for 5 hours at one go.. And it was the TV and dinner that got me awake, other than the occasional ringing of my handphone.

Very lazy to attempt any essay.. haiz.. why do they like to put marketing and LBO together?

Was KPO-ing reading other blogs again.. and.. hmm.. i don't know what to say.. it was just too real.. such as it reflects upon life itself. I don't know.. it seems, i've asking for too much.

Some blogs are real scary.. the more you read, the more depressed you are.. haha.. now i understand.. but nowadays i seldom have any 'grey' entries.. either all are being used up, or i don't want to think about them.. either way, it saves readers from my misery? Haha.. As it goes.. a lot of things are 'bo bian' one.. the more one pursues, the more it eludes.. there is a point though.. and as such, it countinues.

And as time goes by .. (so slowly), it'll be a more difficult journey.. haha.. so i just want to play all i could.. of coz.. as all the aunties and uncles at CP told me, studies is still the top priority.. if not, i'll end up being a promoter all my life.. and that is sadness.. One of the lowest lifeforms.. and there is no coporate ladder to talk about.. yet, having been through, it's a great learning experience.. and it comes from learning from the elders.. not from work itself. Work is only tiring.

Really.. i've been asking for too much.. and failed to see a lot of things.. of coz, i can see dinosaurs.. haha.. how to miss those? Lol.. kidding.. and i think, things could get much worst when i insisted.. so why persist? Maybe i couldn't resist. And with such, i carry those with me as i moved on. It has became a 'burden'.. maybe till someday that i realised that it can be left someway on the path.. till someday.

Wahaha.. see what other's blog did to me? LOL.. all seems so pessimistic.. till i want to bang walls already.. anyway, it's just another boring entry.. haha.. well, at least it help to de-stress.. the prelims are killing me..

Right now, i'm thinking of only.. Erdinger! Muahahaa.. Time to prepare my Marketing essay.. sianz.

While Waiting....

'Contract' ended for 2 days since last Sunday. Have been sleeping 14 hours per day.. maybe i'm too tired.. or maybe i have nothing to do. Well.. this is the time where my brain works again.

A few more days before the mocks, and i've been trying to allocate time for the first 2 mods, LBO and Marketing. Going through the study guide these few days just to be sure of the requirements.. maybe.. just maybe after all i'll not turn up for the papers. Hah.

It's been thought.. but i don't care.

The only thing i'm looking forward to.. getting my ipod nano!

Something got stuck on my mind these days.. just like the contact lense that got 'embeded' in my brain.. haha.. and i couldn't get it off.. argh.. i hate that feeling.. maybe i haven't been keeping myself busy these days? For the past week, it was work and work and work and play and maybe a bit of schooling.. and now a sudden influx.. i think i have problems managing it.

Marketing seems difficult.. i couldn't understand the subject guide.. i think the author's english is worse than mine.. anyway, now to the last topic.. maybe i should study my notes after all.

Waiting to be on a 'mission' now.. going town soon to collect something, and also to submit my 'punch' card. I'm depending on my pay nowadays.. allowance is not allowed when i'm employed. The only thing, my CPF is almost empty.. haha.. well, for the moment.. So while i wait for my pay, it seems i've already spent 1/4 of it.. haha.. all in a few days' worth of effort.

No choice.. had to pay for my own studies.. 7k.. and had been drawing on past savings (S) and contribute it to investments (I).. oops.. i'm not taking econs this year.. haha.. cleared it just merely..

A lot of housekeeping to be done.. and of course.. to get a 'proper' haircut.. haha.. it's about time. Well, since i have nothing 'important' from March onwards other than the exams, i guess it's the best time. I shall activate the 'reset button'.

Since working, had been 'investing' in the pool.. haha.. the legal pool.. but then, had no luck.. oh great.. Wednesday seem to shift from Clubbing to 4D guessing.. haha.. all are Expenditure.. But then again, i'm too lazy even to walk to the nearest 7-11 to place a bet.

Even if i have the means, it'll invest in food.. haha.. weight gainning.. think i don't want to be a bag of bones.. and definately not the complimentary dinosaurs that comes with it.

Having the crave for Erdinger again.. muahhahaa..

Mock is knocking.. haiz.. sian ah!

Time to Rest

I couldn't believe it.. spent the whole day at home sleeping! Having a total of 14 hrs of sleep today.. i must have been very tired working for a whole month.. haha.. finally a time for me to rest.
