Lucky Pakki

I think the mini Schnauzer in my house is quite lucky le lor..

1st thing, my mom pampers (not let him wear pampers la..)to the max lor. Next time it'll happen to her grandchild (if any). Haha.. like everything also give in to the puppy. I think at this rate, he'll be king soon.

Dad on the other hand tried hard to remain in control (at least of the dog).. haha.. but i think pakki got many guardians to watch over him lor.. haha.. so dad couldn't use the "magic wand" to punish him.

And of coz, sis who although didn't want to keep him in the 1st place also very diligently bathe him every week, dry him and provide for his food. Plus she bought him his new bed which he sleeps in every night.

Me lei? Hahaha.. i like to visit PLC (pet lover's ****** - lol.. don't want to do advertising here.. haha) and on top of the 15% discount i get as a member, i can get most of the things i want from there. Hahaha.. if i got the chance, i'd work there too.

So today, bought pakki new toys and a new "toilet". Haha.. his basic toilet training is completed. Now he treats his old crate as his toilet.. but having the cage in the middle of the living is so ugly and smelly. My kitchen has no space too.. so bought a pee pent for him. Plus.. since he likes to play catching with balls.. i bought one modified tennis ball for him.. haha.. i could put some treats inside and make him busy for the whole day lor.. LOL. Spent quite a bit today.. and so they gave me a "free" gift as always.. on top of the discout! Wahahaha.. where to find such a deal? So nice lor.

So with all the new toys.. plus one mini basket of toys he already had.. i think this puppy is set to ascend the throne by the age of one lor.. haha.


The things i bought for pakki today.. whoa.. quite ex though altogether.. haha.. time to cut down on my expenses.

@ the Zoo

I was at the zoo today! Haha.. after like so many years.. finally re-visited it.

It was the SIAEC Carnival wor.. and my friend in SNCO got me the tix for entry (meals included.. plus ice-cream also.. whaha..).. and it was.. FOC (for me at least =D) Special thanks to ml.. (you know who you are.. haha)

So before boarding the chartered bus to zoo, a familiar face saw me. (LOL.. couldn't say i saw a familiar face.. i don't even have any idea who that person was lor.. so bad of me huh) Anyway, sh from wss was there too. Was my sis's junior, and supposed to be of my batch.. but i really have no recollection. Something very wrong with my memory huh.. haha.. wondered what is left of my secondary school days. So they told me, "Nu da shi ba bian".. and i said , "yalor...." but before i could complete my sentence.. i think i got hit.. haha.. as if it was so easy to read my mind. LOL.. nevertheless, reached the zoo quite early and assembled at the carpark for treasure hunt.

Jamie Yeo was there wor. Well.. i think reality really differs from the tv. So there were so many of us, we split up to do the hunt.. haha.. in the end, still didn't win. Quite disappointing though. LOL.. a bit like the "SMRT Challenge" lor.. but seriously, i think i had quite enough of games in SRC le. Do until want to puke le lor.. haha.. don't know anyone wants to hire the excos 05/06 to do events as such or not.. whaha.

Then rain came.. and the animals all very ke lian. I don't know why lei.. but like caged in a bit like restricting their freedom like that. Perhaps i've watched too much tv on scv.. thought they would be running around "happily" (if they are running away from predators, i don't think they will be happy ba..). But the space is quite small.. for a dog like pakki given access to 80% of the area of the house, he still find it boring.. what about the big cats? Hmm.. but then again, having less freedom or face extinction in the wild.. it'ssomething not for me to say.

Lunch was nice.. KFC! Wahha.. better than the other one we used in FOD anyway. LOL.. KFC is always nicer. LOL.. nice lunch but.. great disappointment that the ice-creams were out of stock. LOL.. how can? Hahah.. sponsor play "cheat" de.. didn't sponsor enough right? LOL.. kidding.

Anyway, of all, enjoyed the show by the elephants the most. They are.. well, so trainable and playful. But i believe that, training is nothing wrong.. so long as the method doesn't create physical and mental stress for the animal.. and the act they are supposed to do doesn't require them to do something out of the ordinary. For example asking a lion to walk on twos ba..

Super long day.. haha.. and quite tired as always coz i slept at 4.30am last night and woke up early today.. haha.. and now is already 3 am le.. lol.. still got to wake up early tomorrow..

Some pictures taken at the zoo today:


Don't ask me.. i don't know what they are called.. haha..


So tall!


Nice view from above.


looking for "gold" huh..


"Bei Hors"! (White tigers) Wahahahaa..


"Arthurs" lol..


"Monkey", "Gorilla", "Chimpanzee"

And so, going to the zoo at 24.. haha.. i think the next time i go to sg zoo will be when i bring my kids go (if any).. hahaha.. been there, and seen it.. hopefully i remembered what its like.. if not i might visit the zoo sooner than i thought le.. haha.

Just some more Nonsense

While most of my schoolmates are busy looking for jobs (I hope they are.. haha..), i'm actually quite looking forward to the new sem in school. I want to study as much as i can.. wahah..

The results.. don't know when they will be out.. i just want to know how many modules i passed.. lol.. of coz, looking forward to my LBO result.. I've put in sooo much effort lor. LOL. I want a 2nd lower at least. Wasn't easy for my writting speed though to score such.. coz i write so wols.

Why didn't they use typing instead of writing? Then they would have so much less problems.. less mine too. Hahah.. for example:

1) problem of using correction fluid,
2) saving the trees
3) saving ink
4) problem of papers getting lost etc.
5) problem legibility
6) the need to use a frail string to tie the papers together
7) spelling errors (with the aid of spell check)
8) ease shifting of paragraphs/ editing the essay as a whole
9) speed in typing

Of coz, this is just something IN MY OWN OPINION. Need not contest with me with the benefits of using the traditional way of having an exam. LOL.. in anycase, i'm trying to be nonsensical while trying to convey some truths.. it indeed save paper at least ba.. haha

Well.. some people said.. because not everyone can type.. ya lor.. practice la! LOL.. oh ya.. in the future.. we might be doing our exams with laptops huh.. who knows? But at least not at the moment. Some things just like to remain primitive.

For example, the number of financial tools provided in our financial market (i mean OUR) does have some difficulty for us to short sell during the bearish season. It was supposed to save guard the interest of the buyers ba. In theory, there is no limit to the potential and/or risk of shorting.. i think that's why. But then again, there are solution offered in the US.. so what is this? Developing ba.. one might say.

So while developing, the market made another plunge this rainy friday. It was 80 over points down.. huh.. so indeed it came, but sooner than i thought. Well.. well.. never believe too much of what people say (or what i blogged either).. for for every truths there are, there are bound to be half-nots. Also, there is a thing call propaganda so long as enough was done.. the not so credible thing became the truth. Read the "Crucible" before? You'll get the meaning.

So they say this they say that.. (who are "they" anyway?) they say that it was going to be beyond 4000 points at the year end.. well.. it was, IN MY OPINION (must really put IMO leh.. people are so offended if their views are being criticised.. lol.. so this is purely IMO.. i might be wrong too) kind of self-fulfilling. So long as you get many doing the same (like buying up a share), it will go up.. just that nobody is losing money as long as there are people willing to pay more.. and as many bided for it, the price increase and so those who bought at the outset will benefit. So.. who are the losers? They are those that chase the profits at the wrong time.. that is, when the security is over-priced.. and still offered to buy at a premium. It is true that many over-priced stocks still have the potential to gain.. so long as people continue to bid for it.. but for everything, there is a limit. When the limit is reached, people will start selling.. and when you get enough people the same thing, they practically sell down the market. Add in a few more other psychological aspect of investing.. i think a lot of people will try to get out of the market, making the problem worse.

In the end, those who are tempted to chase profit without realising the risk of the market will get their fingers burnt. It is, a risk/return game.. think more 1st please.. if not, just go in casino bet lor.. the outcome is nearly the same as those not doing "homework" before investing.

Of coz, it is possible for anyone to reap what others had sowed. Even auntie can top the bankers in warrent trading.. haha.. that is, if you use common sense and limit greed. Run before it is too late lo.. the losers are those who bought last (during bull), and those who sells first (during bear)(In theory, if you don't sell, you won't realise lost.. it is just paper lost. But then, if you paid for something at a premium about premium.. it might take more than a lifetime to get back to the same level). Common sense huh? Hahah.. yah.. but the only problem is identifying the bull and bear.

It was easier said than done, of coz i know.. if not, i'd be not here sitting and blogging le. The hardest part is identifying the animals lor.. haha.. even till now.. i'm still a greenhorn at the market.. lol.. easy to make mistakes lor.

Anyway, i do hope that the market will not continue to plunge like that.. it has stong implication on the economy and other issues. So shall wait for monday and see what it is like.

Disclaimer: Invest/disinvest at your own risk.. i don't bear any responsibility/liabilities for any movement made to your own investment. I don't get paid saying these nonsense either.

"Not in the Mood"

Almost finished watching "1 litre of tears" when my wireless adaptor want to create some suspense of some sort through malfuctioning. LOL.. i was almost 3/4 done le lor.

Well.. it was such as sad story lor.. but really liked it. Somehow, it made my heart ache a bit. Time to cherish a few.. i wouldn't want anyone out of my life anymore.

Might be going zoo this saturday.. whaha.. with the few from band. LOL.. must try to do some "healthy" activity le. No la.. actually wanted to see what the zoo is really like. Been there before, but.. i think i was too young then to appreciate. Now very much older.. haha.. perhaps will be able to learn a few more things from the visit ba.

Still a few more days to go.. saturday's band was cancelled.. might as well. I'm having ulcer also.. can't play.

And even though i'm being bored, it doesn't mean i'm doing nothing. I'm just bored with the mundane.

Read an article about online "hazards" and also what we do as an individual that can haunt us some time later.. ooo.. i guess from now on, i shall be discreet. LOL.. if not, next time die liao also don't know kena hit from where.. haha.

The other time, my mentor in PL told me he's going to close down his blog coz he ORD(ed) already.. the employer/client might chance upon his blog.. and imagine the rest ba. I'm too lazy to point out the obvious.

Ah.. nevermind. I'm saying too much.. the rest shall be in the "unpublished" section ba.

By the way, i'm quite well these days.. just being bored. Haha.. i'm just not in the mood to be in other mood. And perhaps.. found some time to push myself along the way ba.. the coming sem.. hahaha.. perhaps.. might be the best ever. (i'm just wasting too much time huh?)

Beside Me

Yesterday while watching "1 litre" at midnight, i heard pakki's bell outside my room. (ya.. he wears a bell like xiao ding dang..) So i let him in lor.. and then he start to be funny. Kept chewing this and that.. haha.. until he got tired.

I think sis just got a "superglue" dog le.. Pakki kept following me! LOL..i go pee he also wanna go.. and worst of all, he knows how to open the door to the toilet. LOL. (the lock is sometimes faulty) LOL.. so like that lor..

Pakki just like to be beside.. haha.. what more can i ask for? So i let him slept beside my bed last night lor.. haha.. and around 3 am, the hamsters woke him while trying to dismantle the running wheel.. lol.. and so i woke up too. Then Pakki pooed at 3 am... lol.. what a time.

Anyway, cleared the poo and i went back to sleep.. pakki slept in my room again.. hahah.. omg.. got 1 superglue le. LOL.. but he woke me up again at 5am.. and start to be funny again.. (chew cardboard and all that..).. luckily mom woke up and i think he prefers my mom.. haha..

Luckily for me.. if not, i think i'll need to wake up at 5 le.

Bored Till I

Been almost bored to death these few days. Of coz, i'm staying much at home trying to recuperate.. only today that i'm starting to feel so much better. The reflux was almost gone.. almost. Hahaha.. but already felt so much better, with my appetite returning. LOL.. i can be without most things.. but good food is definately not one. LOL.. of coz.. i am very very much looking forward to the bbq coming next week. Wahaha..

These few days had not been eating well, but i gained weight. Wahahahaa... already 12 kgs heavier than that since the last gastric flu 2 years ago. LOL.. at this rate, i can hit my target in another 2 years or so. Too bad i'm a very picky eater.. haha.. if not, i think i'll ballooned lo.

So bored that i took up jap drama watching.. whaha.. yy introduced the "liar game" to us. It was very nice indeed! I like the plot lor.. like it's always so smart. Well.. perhaps can ignore the idea that being honest is bad.. lol.. other than that.. it showed a lot of probabilities and a lot of stategic thinking. Very nice indeed.

And bored till i watched the repeat of "a litre of tears" on scv.. it was supposed to be from a real life story. Ya.. seeing the pic of the little girl at the end of the 1st episode kind of made me realise that i was watching the story of a real person.. not drama. Oh.. perhaps i need to prepare a 1.5 litre bottle to collect tears.. whahaha.. well.. maybe not.. i don't have much tears left.

Super bored that i went online to search for the battles of the spartans.. whaha.. since i've watched "300".. whoa.. there is too much to read.. and a lot of things are linked.. so 1 thing leads to another.. so read for almost 2 hours.. lol.

I'm bored.. and so, a boring entry. LOL.

Meeting with YJC-ians

Yesterday, went to meet up with my JC bandmates.

LOL.. it was like.. erm.. years since we last met.. haha.. it was really fun too hear from each of them.. well, at least the delightful happenings.

Went newyork newyork for lunch.. but wasn't really that satisfied.. whahaa... coz the staff were quite slow.. plus i have gastric problems.. haha.. so nowadays didn't have the appetite. Might be going to see gp again soon.. haha.. i want to enjoy bbq food de leh.. Nevertheless, did learn something "new".. lol.. then they told me how to calculate the additional 17% on top of our orders.. haha.. i always thought it was 117% we are paying.. but no.. they said need to multiply by .1 then by .07.. whahaha... now then i know.


Very nicely taken.. lol.. i like the background.

Then after lunch, chill there for a while before deciding on going to k box.. lol.. like years never go k box le lor.. i've already took out the card from my wallet le. LOL.. i think maybe perhaps that i realised that singing wasn't suitable.. haha.. of coz, sing for fun maybe.. but seriously not for anything else. And since it was taken away, i didn't really sing that much.. and my range fell too.. whahaha.. so was "cheating" all my way through (by lowering the key by 1 tone or more.. haha..). But ernest sang very well~! And sounds very nice too. Then someone select the song "san hu hai".. then don't know why i end up singing the lara part.. whahaha.. but it was nice.. just that range too high.

By the time we were done, it was already 9pm.. chose to ate at food republic.. but sadly.. it was another disappointment.. was it my expectations that were too high, or that i didn't have the appetite or were they really nto that good? I don't know.. but certaintly not worth the price.

Back home, saw pakki with a bell on his neck.. omg.. now he really looks like a cat.. hahaha.. of coz, i don't thnk he like the sound of it either.. but for his 'safety' in the dark, it's already a better alternative for a bell that lits up.. whaha.. poor pakki. Anyway, he slept in my room last night.. lol.. too tired to chase him out le.. ahha.. i was using my comp and he just came and lie down in my room.. lol.. so superglue de. Didn't have the heart to wake him up and ask him to go out lor.. aww.. And that day, while the rest of us were asleep at 4am.. this dog came and knock on my parent's room.. with his toy.. whahahaa.. he knows how to ask people to accompany him to play huh.. but at 4am? LOL.. he does have some very weird pattern.

Been kind of tired after a week of visiting the past.. i think, there's nothing that could be changed.. of coz, nothing from the past, but a lot more to expect from the future... it will definately change the way i see things.. now matter what.. and i don't think it can be a bad thing.. lol.. i won't "walk backwards" from where i left.. lol.. the only thing going backward is my cash.. whahahaa

Visiting GP

Saw another GP today.. coz my GP went for lunch. Zzz.. and the one next door charged me so high lor.. already broked le.

Nowadays, it cost almost $30 to see a doctor.. whahaa.. so expensive.. but so long i can recover, i don't think i will mind.

Just as i've expected..

Was off to PS this noon.. i think haven't been there for quite some time le.. haha.. ya.. and it changed a lot.

Thursday, July 19, 2007

Whatever

Very tired these few days.. i also don't know why.

Feeling kind of unwell coz my throat kept having that kind of burning sensation.. kept feeling wanting to puke and its been around for almost 2 weeks le. Must really go find my GP le.. sian.. cost money again.

Today was out meeting my secondary school friends for lunch.. then i was off to bugis to buy some thing.. lol.. saw my primary school friend at bugis street.. lol.. so qiao right? Hahaha.. i think sg is too small le lo.

Anyway, didn't get what i intend to get, and got things that i didn't plan to buy.. lol.. what the.. haha..

Pakki was granted his full freedom le.. hahaha.. i think he must be very happy to roam around wherever he like, and eat whatever he wants from the floor.. zzz... but now, if the villagers return home, he won't rush out the gates.. whahaha.. coz got train de. Anyway, went to PLC to shop for pakki.. found a replacement pee pent for him at $47.25.. and it's made of plastic de. Wow.. nowadays the dogs so lucky de. The black carpet will be out every night.. and its quite fun to see him sleep inside his own bed.. hahah.. he knows it, just that sometimes its just too warm le. LOL.. so in case we stepped on him, i suggest to hang a lightbulb on his collar.. whahaa.. then my mom says, "then he looks like fireflies le". LOL...

Ya.. so, another thing settled. Next up, chalet.. lol.. i think must all bring individual plastic bags le.. sigh. Am i supposed to bring trash bag? I think my pattern was being discovered.. argh.. but i'm looking forward for the bbq leh.. hahaa.. see what my gp says tomorrow.

Was wondering.. huh.. sigh. I mean, it was always the case huh.. haiz.. will i ever learn?

Confidential

Should be the "finale" le.. haha.. think my pocket got hole becoz of the GST.. i don't blame GST on its on.. coz VAT are somewhat higher.. with a 2% hike.. i can take it.. but...................... evil businessman tried to mix the water touch the fish. Things are rather blown out of proportion.

2% can magnified to 1/6 huh? What kind of idiotic logic is this? I don't see the income be magnified. I just don't like the concept of econs.. no wonder i didn't include them in my modules. LOL.. i felt that.. it was just a tool for those who are able.. of coz, not to say so much as it can be quite sensitive. I don't want my blog to be closed down.. haha.

Anyway, i think we can't do much also.. neither can CASE.. its up to consumers.. but, we don't really have much choice. Like the steamboat which increased 80 cents out of $12.. 2%? My foot. Market forces can't do much too.. if not, these people won't have the cheek to increase so much at 1 go.

Suan le.. i complain also no point.. coz already paid for everything.. sad. Oh yah.. did i mention that the takopachi increased 20 cents already? Haha.. this is the trend.

There are some things that got me quite used to. Like my friend said, maybe close 1 eye.. i think i need to close both eyes at times.. haha.. but i am ok.. i knew, there was no where else except forward.. just it took me quite some time to understand. What to do? LOL.. guys mature like treasury bills as seen in one email.. whaha.. it just take them so long.

Oh ya.. today heard something super funny.. haha.. about thunderbirds and transformers' bumble bee.. lol! Both are cartoons of my time... and it was referred to some other things.. lol.. hopefully, i won't tio the thunderbird.. (then i am the bee).. lol.. of coz.. i might have given up on being one myself.. whahaha..

Today saw someone on the swing.. zz.. felt so paiseh lor.

And i got ps by the one kuula again.. as expected. Hahaha.. nothing new, so nothing much to feel.

That day, my cousin said something that made me quite impressed. LOL.. i think at our age.. being older doesn't mean much anymore.. haha.. and when he said that it was such.. i totally realised. And perhaps, it happens to all.. just that it matters to me most when i'm the one at the receiving end.

Past 2 Days

Kind of being speechless after all that had happened.

Was given a kind of choking feeling last monday morning.. i also didn't see it coming. I wanted to think that, nothing had changed so far, and all was well.. Perhaps, i was wrong.

Can't find the exact words to describe the kind of "emo" that went through.. i really don't know why it was such. Other than that, things were rather clear.

Of coz, it was another piece of 'history' that affected people around.. even till now.. and, it couldn't be contracted out.

Maybe was feeling a bit miserable over what had happened.. but nothing much to be done for they are of past.. just hoped that the whole cloud (of whatever) would disperse. Knowing that was, indirectly caused by me (or whatever).. i have somehow, felt guilty. Yet in such, there is no one particular blame to be pushed.. there are just too many of variables that might just cause things to not work well.

I don't think anyone understands what i'm trying to say here.. coz i also don't know how i shall blog. Maybe just keep it somewhere close ba.

Personally, i have said what i wanted to.. i don't think there is any need for any other one else to know.. i shall give all my blessings to.

Was actually 'stunned' for 2 days.. coz been wanting to blog, yet didn't know how.. but i was glad perhaps some "sense" was being knocked into me.. haha.. though the process of being knocked isn't what one might enjoy.. haha.. nevertheless.. was doing what i always said i wanted to.. yalor.. just "what is stopping me"? Sure ain't easy to keep pushing.. i shall. There are many reason.. and definately it was becoz of.

LOL.. i really think if i had forgotten all about what happened.. when (and if) i revist this entry.. i won't know what the heck i'm blogging about lor.. lol..

Anyway, just to keep things going..

Yesterday, my cousin came over to my place.. lol.. it was quite rare. Ya.. intending to "transfer" my bass guitar over to him at a premium price.. lol.. if not, i'll auction it off le. Haven't been playing the bass for quite some time.. think a year plus le.. so might as well clear the space. Thankfully my cousin was keen in that instrumnent.. if not, it would be a waste to sell off cheaply to the masses.

Went grandma's place in the evening.. lol.. so happy that aunt kam (my cousin's mom) bought some sushi for me.. wahaha.. i was already craving for jap food in the afternoon lor.. and then just like that, it appeared.. whahaa.. must be my good fortune huh?

Pakki was granted his access to most part of the village, including my room.. sigh. But he wasn't given the green light to be outside at night.. coz he too dark to see in the night le.. haha.. scared he camo as a black carpet then we might accidently stepped on him in the dark lor.. haha.. but i'm working to grant him his 'right'. Whahah..

I think my mom loves him very much lor.. this morning, she went to "joy donkey" (it was supposed to be joy doggy.. coz my mom always pronouce things rather interestingly).. to look for a long term solution to pakki's peeing place. Was given a choice of a stainless steel grid that cost $160!!!! Wow.. nowadays the dog huh.. haha.. so xin fu. But no la.. a bit too steep le. So maybe go find some alternative lor.. like the bbq grill or such.. whahaha..

And this morning, pakki learnt how to play dead.. zzz. This was taught by dad. LOL.. Nothing much to teach him le.. haha.. already 7 months old.. i can't wait to watch him grow till the age of 1.. then i shall bring him around my neighbourhood to make new friends.. (for him that is).. i don't think i want to make a lot of auntie friends.. whahaha.. just kidding.

Would You Be There?

Been so bored at home that i went to tab this song on my guitar the previous night. No band practice and wasn't in the mood to maple.. lol..

Still, couldn't figure out 2 of the chords.. wahahaa.. my guitar skill is so limited lor..

Anyway, the lyrics are nice.. and its from mediacorp's show.. don't know what's the name of the show in english.. haha.

Would You Be There:

"
If I were blue, would you be there for me,
And whisper in my ears that's okay,
Would you stand by me, let me hold you tight,
And say you love me one more time.

If I feel good, would you slow dance with me,
And touch my lips with tender love and care
Would you die for me, would you run with me,
And never look back

Would you be there to love, to be with me?
Would you swear that your love is always true?
Would you say that you'll always be the one,
to take my breath away?

Would you be there
For me?
"

So... would you?

But please hor.. no need to die for me.. it can be rather scary leh. LOL.. i think i prefer to love someone alive. (oh.. i'm thinking too much.. hahaa..)

Morning Gongyo

This morning, i went for my morning gongyo.. haha.. or rather, the intended morning gongyo.. but by the time i reached, it was already late... very late lor.. ended up doing only dmk. LOL.. sad.

Actually, i should have reached rather early de.. but haven't been to TBSC for so many years le.. i think maybe 4-5 years ago.. hahaha.. and i wrongly thought that 855 got reach. Then i alight earlier thinking that i have reached and chose not to listen to my mom's "online" street directory.. (i called back to ask her to look up for the place for me..).. haha.. i can be so stubborn at times.

In the end, i have to bear the consequence lor. Walked around 30 minutes.. waaah.. reached TBSC at 8.30 am.. lol.. think my legs are breaking le.

Don't know where pain is coming from.. and i mean physical one.. sianz leh.. i don't want a relaspe.. but had been facing some health problems.. perhaps of the irregular eating and sleeping times. Of coz, i do cherish my health more.. (ignore that i gluped shooters like it's free.. well almost at $3.50 each.. wahaha..).. just kidding.. but really do see a decline in my health. Was have some digestive problems again.. sigh.. and plus the old arthritic is coming again.. wahhh.. sian.

I think i'm going to turn in soon.. depends.. lol.. i woke up so early this morning lor.. haha.. 6.30am leh.. lol.. and now it's only 9pm.. but better to tune my health back.. if not chwee..

My DIY Again

LOL.. 3rd entry coz didn't want to lump all in one entry.. plus can increase the number of posts also.. hahaa..

Today on my way home, bought a soldering iron (and solder) from the local hardware stall to fix my wireless usb adapter. Whahaha..

The adapter was damaged by me the other time while i was trying to make a connection, i bent it until the usb part broke.. hahaha.. and then i took the casing out. Found that the electronics wasn't spoilt.. coz when i bent the usb adapter to almost 15 degrees where the connection met, the LED lit up! Hhaaha.. so to fix it permenantly, decided to solder it.


The wireless adapter in working condition w/o its casing

But darn.. D & T didn't teach me! (my year that time, we were only doing D & T for lower secondary) So i was very clumsy in soldering.. and in the process got a minor shock for holding the circuit board directly.. lol.. it was.. so difficult.. the solder just evaporated before i can bind the 2 sides.. whahaa.. think i must practice more le..


A rather bad job done.. whahah.. with some burnt marks on the circuit board lor.. lol

Anyway, couldn't think of anything else to solder.. whaha.. and the fumes for the lead solder is toxic..

Well, got it up and running again.. after all, it beats having to spend some money for a replacement adapter.. (my spare was down too).. and i got to learn something in the process.. plus, i got a soldering iron for future uses.. whahaa.. nice.

I've Discovered.

These few days, while msn-ing, i discovered the reason why i couldn't do things well. I've been adopting a fence-sitting policy as always, and hence, i'd try to balance the 2 different spectrum. The end result, i was neither here nor there.. and i've been contradicting myself too much.. no wonder.. it never seems to work.

Knowing doesn't mean anything.. and i guess nothing much will change.

Anyway, was back from OO again.. haha.. long time didn't club and sadly, it still doesn't conclude the crubbing spree. It's been the 4th since the last exam a month ago.. and perhaps, there will be more the coming week.

I was given a choice: to crub or to attend a concert.. but i chose to crub.. like what i was told, perhaps i truly belonged to the "orh um" (dark)side. I wasn't that in the past.. but it no longer matters.

Crubbing this time round was rather fierce.. don't know what happened.. all too 'sad' le? Hahahaha.. of coz, we all have our own problems that even sharing can't help much.

Been bothered quite a lot by certain things.. and i think the only way of solving is ignoring. Perhaps it will not solve permanantly.. and it might never will.. but this is the best solution so far.

I'll blog ambiguously, for i'm just like that.. saying will relieve my stress, yet saying too much will make me vulnerable.. so i chose somewhere in between. As i've said.. perhaps somewhere down the road.. i don't even remember what i'm blogging about.. whahaa...

Rather tired from all the liquor.. lol.. i've lost count of how much i had spent.. perhaps in the 80s ba.. again. Then the kuula jioed for mambo the coming wednesday .. whahaha.. what? I print money 1 is it? But i guess, it only knock that once.. money after all, should not be the master of our life. I wondered, why, people seek the abyss of desire.. one which couldn't be fulfilled. Don't they get it? it will NEVER be enough.. no matter how much.

Yet with regards to cash, i've been growing sour grapes in my farm recently.. haha.. all because of the bullish trend of the economy. I've wondered.. how come money can alter the ego of people so drastically.. it seems to piss me quite a bit. LOL.. after all, i'm just a man.. i will feel.

Surprised was that the village chief have offered me a "loan".. but i was wondering... do i really need to prove something? I guess i rather not.. afterall, the whole life game was about me and me winning myself.. who cares about the others? I mean, so long they don't come and hao lian la.. it can be quite irritating at times.

I think, i'm quite comfotable the way i am now, less a few things and a few more.. The list never ends, and hence so are my desires.

Of coz, there are just too much to be done.. for there is only one chance at times. Read from the ST of the recent accident that happened.. it is really.. unpredictable. So.. why not? For chances are few.

I've been BUI (blogging under influence).. but i'm rather awake.. just waiting for my hair to dry.. haha.. i'm very awake lor, and i've just finished my instant noodles.. the 3rd in this week.. wah lao eh.. quite sian liao leh... haha..

SSA Youth Festival

Been rather busy these few days because i need to type the stock list for the chocolate factory. Overall, the chocolates are getting cheaper, with direct imports from hk.. lol.. i think i've learnt a few.. a few more, and i shall go get rid of the bugs around.

First thing first.. the pics of SSA's 40th anniversary at singapore indoor stadium =D


The Combined Orchestra.. the ang mor orchestra and the chinese orchestra.. whahah.. nice.


Me and my f.horn buddy.. erm.. i think there too many camera le... haha.. dunno..


My performer Tag.. lol.. my 2nd one so far.. haha.. but i think 2001's nicer.


I guess they are bored waiting lor.. so am i.. haha


My beloved horn.. my love.. my cash.


Jiu Jian was there too... wahhaa... too bad he moves around too quickly, and my camera is lousy.. and i got a seat in the 2nd row with no clear view.. so my pics are blur..


One of the items in this year's performance.. i think they are great!


The finale..

Something to Update

Changed my msn account today le.. finally lor.. can get rid of an email that i'm not using anymore.

Updating was easy.. if anyone were to update 1 by 1.. i really don't know what to say.. hah.. there is a function to save and import.

Anyway, it's fun to know that half of the list of contacts are msn active. LOL.. At least my msn is half-full.

Been taught on how to earn money online.. and i'm still learning from my mentor in PL.. haha.. but i'm too lazy to create this and that.. maybe soon, i'll have a few sub blogs.. those bent on earning cash from ads.. lol.. but not this ba.

Few days back, heard that one of my friend is not feeling well.. we haven't been in contact for a few years, and even though the msn is always there, the hp no. is always there, but just that we never kept in touch. And suddenly, i got some kind of a shock.. and it makes me quite uncomfortable.. i mean.. the feeling is not good knowing that one of your friend is having problems.

Problems that can be solved using cash is never a problem.. unless you have no cash la.. but other than that.. i really don't know where to turn to.. perhaps faith can provide me an answer?

It won't be convenient to say too much, just that i felt, i was blessed with one friend that really touches my heart.... and i would, if i could.

All for "Allspark"

If Megatron knew he would die in the search for the allspark, would he have done so? Too bad he was thrown into the sea le.. if not i'd like to ask him.

But he wouldn't have know.. nobody would.. not even allspark itself.

The performance for 070707 ended.. LOL.. following the previous night's sound check, i think all of us really have gone crazy. Imagine had to be seated from 11am till 11pm.. whahaha.. (of coz there are lunch and dinner breaks..) but just hearing the messages alone is enough.

I'm too tired to blog the details or to post photos.. haha.. but i broke my 2.0 pix camera today.. sob.. and of coz, saw a few more familiar faces around, suddenly as if like a thumbdrive, i went back to memory lane.

I guess, it was more of paiseh than anything else.. lol.. but i was glad.

I always thought, people and environment might have changed a lot, and i couldn't cope with their changes.. but on another perspective.. maybe there could be another reason.. i was the one who is changing. Growing itself is a change... and i got to know more, got to see more.. and then realised a lot that was there all a long.. just that i was too young to notice.. then i kept asking why.. why there was so much problems compared to the past. Ya.. it will get more complicated.. as i get more sophisticated.

I really am very tired today.. lol.. still got pictures of today's performance.. plus the good food i had during the trip in hk.. haha... all coming up.

Transformers - more than meets the eye

Went for movie the following day after i reached SG.

Watched Transformers with the rest of the usual few, and it was a very nice show! Super nice lor.. a must watch.

********** SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE **********

But i do have a few critiques of my own.. hahah.. coz i watched the show, and then there were so many questions unanswered.

First of all, i can't tell the deceps from the autos.. whahahaa... they don't have much colour coding de.. and hor.. why must the bad guys be in military or law enforcement agencies? LOL.. a bit contra leh.

And also, a few of those editing errors.. whahaah.. have you even wondered where some of the transformers go during the show? LOL.. for 1, barricade (the police car) wasn't destroyed.. and nothing was said about it.

Not happy was why Jazz (the autobots) was killed just like that? Pull apart then die le.. i mean.. want to kill kill the other few lor.. especially the firefighter (Ratchet).. wahahha.. i don't like that anyway. But why jazz? He's so cool... Wahaha..




I like his Visor!

Of coz, i like bumblebee too! Hahahaa.. i like his battle mode lor.. especially when he puts his head gear.. really looked like a bee.


Bumblebee!

Nice show with nice robots..
