christmas

thanks to the special someone...i got a card and a present this yr. thank you =D

yea anyway i got "The Gift" already. particularly like this part:

"About people who, not unlike parcels, hide secrets, who cover themselves with layers until they present themselves to the right ones who can unwrap them and see inside. Sometimes you have to give yourself to somebody in order to see who you are. Sometimes you have to unravel things to get to the core."

how true.

hockey match tomorrow. i hope i wont fall asleep while driving back school tomorrow.

ah i am feeling shitty. had a plate of $5 char kway teow for dinner just now and i feel like vomitting now. i shall not eat char kway teow for the next one month. oh and i think i should start going on a diet now to prepare for the road relay next month. havent really been training yet haha.

i think my house is under some suay curse now. this morning when i was washing the car apparently some maid jumped at the block beside mine. not sure if she committed suicide or she accidentally fell off while doing the house work. first it was fire at the block opposite mine. now someone died at the block beside mine. hopefully no such things will happen again.

i wanted to get the book "The Gift" today but i didnt get it in the end. i am not sure if it's a nice book...but the packaging certainly appeals to me haha.

back to sch tomorrow for hockey. may we have the luck and skill to win.

this christmas, i give u my heart...




went home last wed only to see a fire going on at another block in my place. the fire hose took my parking lot and i couldnt park my car. it was a pretty bad fire and i think they took like close to 4 hours before the fire was extinguished. at first there were onli like 2 fire engines..in the end another 2 came by. when i returned back home at close to 9 they were still around. it was a pretty bad fire. was expecting the newspapers to report on it but till now i still dont see anything yet.
been going back school quite often this holiday for ihg. today's softball match was pretty disappointing. i could have won it for the hall but i blew the opportunity away. we will unable to take our chances and we made mistakes ourselves which our opponents capitalised on. it's really a game of wasted opportunities. in life, once u missed it, you lose it.
oh well..once again the better team lost the game. hopefully hockey will be better.
and i really hate it when people tell me that we will lose when they havent given it a try. it's kind of sucky when u seem to be like the only one enthu about something.
it's sucky people dont know how you feel. it's even more sucky when you dont even know how you feel.
it's christmas again! christmas always gives me this very weird kind of feeling. dont really know how to describe it. maybe it's the influence of Love Actually haha.
i wonder if i will get any surprise christmas present/card from anyone this yr haha.
the words "last christmas, i gave u my heart..." keep ringing in my ears hahaha.

是非题


每段故事 都有一篇劇情
每段愛情 都像動人旋律
一顆真心 卻只向著你前進 也許愛越單純越著迷

你是窗外 另外一片風景
在你眼裡 我是什麼關係
你的呼吸 存在我的愛情里 何時能誠實面對自己

我們從不開口那個原因
那一句 我愛你 永遠像少了勇氣
別人都說我和你之間的關係
沒有人相信 只有關心

我們從不證實那個問題
那一些是非題 總讓人傷透腦筋
我會期待愛盛開那一個黎明
一定會有 美麗的愛情

genting

came back from my genting trip last night at around 1130. was super tired but i watched soccer from 1.30 am to 3.30 am haha. feeling quite cui nw cos am down with flu. been sneezing like mad for the past 3 days in genting and i felt feverish on the 2nd day. haha it's been quite some time since i last fell sick. maybe it's cos i havent been exercising for the past few weeks. my ears feel stuck nw and i cant unblock them =(

anyway genting was fun! bought quite alot of clothes from there. i conclude that genting has nothing nice to eat. anyway i stayed at first world hotel...so if anyone is going there i recommend going to hou mei to eat. it's the best place with reasonably nice food. watched 证人 at genting. not a very good show i think cos the whole show wasnt really about 证人 haha. but it's only like $5 so i guess i shldnt complain. and they have osim-massage-chair-seats in the cinema..cost like $7.50 per ticket. but it's at the first row so i guess not many people would want to take them.

i am feeling lazy now. dont feel like going back for trainings for ihg and play in the games haha. i mean..if the games were held all together i dont mind. but now the games and trainings are like here and there...makes me feel really lazy to travel around man. i stay in marine parade not in jurong! oh ya MINDEF msged me and reminded me to take my IPPT before my birthday. maybe i should just settle for a silver award get it over and done with haha.

my nephew called my dad "yei yei" for the first time today. wonder when will he be calling me "shu shu".

cheeky cheeky!

batam trip was very fun~! it's great fun to go overseas with your frens...do nothing and chill out. i tried cable ski for the first time and it was really great fun..except for the dirty water over there haha. too bad i still didnt manage to do the standing up position. maybe i am too old to pick up a new sport already haha.

the customs people didnt speak to us very politely. the first day we nearly got detained by the customs for making too much noise at the ferry terminal. this is the first time i have encountered such a thing. now i really appreciate what i have in singapore.

and i still dont think i get drunk easily. i may turn red but i am certainly not drunk lol. and the truth-or-dare session in hotel certainly was effective in digging out all the dirty little secrets =) i am not gossipy..i just show care and concern for my friends hahaha.

the 2nd night dinner was superb. 6 crabs cooked in sambal chilli and black pepper...oatmeal prawns..fried calamari...all these for juz around $20. it was certainly worth the money.

went ica this morning to do my passport. in the end i had to pay $15 for a temporary passport and $70 to make a new passport. this is so irritating. now i have a temporary A4-size paper passport...wonder if i can get thru the custom successfully tomorrow morning.

going to genting tmr. i think i am having a batam hangover. shall go take a nap soon


the matters of the heart...it's so confusing...

fat boy

yea i went geylang for dinner today. had tian ji zhou...had around 3 bowls of porridge and i went on to eat the beef kway teow. feeling super full now. damn i havent been exercising/swimming since i ended my papers. i think i am putting on alot of weight. GIVE ME THE MOTIVATION TO EXERCISE!!

been contributing to the economy these few days. bought a pair of new slippers...got 2 games and i still want to get a pair of onitsuka tiger shoes...and more clothes.
increase consumption -> increase aggregate expenditure (AE) -> increase aggregate output/income -> increase money demand (Md) -> increase interest rate....... -.-''

am starting to feel excited about the batam trip and my genting trip =)

enjoy the holidays!!

bad times past. good times ahead.

ah finally exams are over! hope that my efforts will be rewarded with good results. maths was quite disappointing today if the paper didnt have the theory questions maybe i would have done better. just hope that i wont fare too badly in maths.
there were alot of stun questions for this yr's exam. previous year's the papers were more straightforward. hope all will turn out fine.

and i didnt slp at all last night. had biz law yesterday till 7.30 den i went to eat dinner with jamie. was feeling tired so i decided to get coffee from macs. actually it's like the first time i had a cup of coffee to myself. and i couldnt sleep at all last night. in the end i woke up at 6.30 and had another cup of coffee. feeling quite dreamy now shall take a nap after lunch. remind me never ever drink coffee at night.

dont exactly feel relieved that exams are over...kind of worried about results. i just hope that my efforts will be rewarded.

going batam nxt sunday. hmm seems like december is going to pass by quite fast too. am going home later in the evening.

at last. =)

this is insulting.

Thursday, November 13, 2008

take a break...

ah finally one paper down. somehow i feel that i have mugged more for this exam than i did when i took my Alevels haha. 3 more papers to go and this whole thing will be over soon! then again nxt sem will come soon and we will have our exams again blah blah blah. this sucks.

took a break today. felt quite lazy probably due to the hardcore mugging for the past few days. hope i can maintain the momentum tomorrow. next week is going to be quite a killer..3 papers in 3 days :s watched crunchyroll this afternoon. 梁山伯与祝英台. nope it's not the one by wu zhun it's the one by the other wu...wu qi long and yang cai ni haha. yea it's an extremely old show but nevertheless it's a really nice and sad show =( oh well it's good to get emo sometimes.

been mugging at can A for the past few days. i think it's more productive for me to study alone..away from my friends and my computer and my bed...even though it can be quite noisy over there sometimes. cant stand it when where are a group of pple mugging and they start talking damn loudly...pretending that they are mugging when they are actualli busy chatting. the occasional laughter is totally distracting man. i realise a lot of times pple laugh and they go "heeeheeHA" the last HA is extremely distracting cos they can go really loud and irritating. ask me to demonstrate to u nxt time if u cant picture it. and sometimes there will be a group of people chatting in some language that i dont understand. yesterday i was sitting beside this group of girls and they were talking in some weird language that i have never heard before. i think it's damn irritating when u can hear what people are talking about but you dont understand what they are saying. i mean...if they were talking about something funny, at least i can laugh to myself to their jokes or what. they talk in some weird language...it's just like some weird form of noise pollution (ok no offense).

and yesterday was pretty sad for me...i didnt talk to anyone for the whole day and i had meals myself. in the end i couldnt stand it and i came back to hall ard 8+. glad that my roomie was around and i could talk cock with him. den again..not many days left that i will go can a to mug. looking forward to the end of exams!

i wan to go kbox...shopping...get my garrrrskin...buy games etcetc

meanwhile...mug hard!

youth.

ok shall make this a quick update. got 2 quiz tmr but i got the sudden urge to blog some stuff.

went to 8flags today wanted to get my garrrrskin but they ran out of stock! cant believe it just when i have made my mind to get the skin everything was sold out -.- guess i can only wait for the nxt IT fair or maybe if i am realli impatient i can order it online.

dinner with apus pple today. forgot wad happened but we talked about birthday. i went to can A myself to study after the dinner. the place is quite nice to study alone just that it's realli cold there. think i shall bring my jacket and umbrella tmr and maybe camp there the whole night. anyway when i was alone i realised that i am going to 22 next yr. kind of a cruel reality i feel. seems like i didnt achieve much over the last 22 years of my life...everything has passed by in a flash...

i want my youth back!!

oh well. back to mugging.

Sunday, November 02, 2008

blah blah blah...

ok exams in 1 week's time. starting to get a little bit stressed but not yet. probably nxt wk i will start to get nervous...am thinking of camping in school when exams start. shall see how...

am glad that i finally got my silicon cover for my laptop keyboard. remind me not to get a glossy laptop the nxt time i get one. this is a classic example of 中看不中用. ok the performance is not bad...but i am leaving all my fingerprints behind~ and if i use for too long the wrist area starts to get kind of sticky. am goin to get my garrrrskin aft exams. hopefully those at 8 flags look decent.

and i collected my phone from repairs today. the phonebook is seriously making me quite irritated. i cant search for the names when i want to look for some names. ok it's pretty complicated to explain..but the main thing is i got to key in all the contacts all over again. and i got close to 400 contacts (ok maybe not too many as compared to some pple). right now i am not sure if i missed out any contacts. hopefully i didnt miss out any..anyway if it's a really important contact that person will come looking for me..if nt i guess i can always get it from other pple when i need it.

and a nice video on facebook made me smile. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=42080651059 not sure if it's viewable..but if anyone is interested can look for me i downloaded it. it's the video of my baby nephew =)

jiayou mugging!

说好的幸福呢

你的绘画凌乱着

在这个时刻

我想起喷泉旁的白鸽

甜蜜散落了

情绪莫名的拉扯

我还爱你呢

而你断断续续唱着歌

假装没事了

时间过了 走了

爱情面临选择

你冷了 倦了 我哭了

离开时都不快乐

你用卡片纸写着

有些爱只给到这 真的痛了

怎么了 你累了 说好的 幸福呢

我懂了 不说了 爱淡了 梦远了

开心与不开心一一细数着

你再不舍

那些爱过的感觉都太深刻

我都还记得

你不等了 说好的 幸福呢

我错了 泪干了 放手了 后悔了

只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着

要怎么停呢

你的绘画凌乱着

在这个时刻

我像气氛纯白的白鸽

甜蜜散落了

继续莫名的拉扯

我还爱你呢

而你断断续续唱着歌

假装没事了

时间过了 走了

爱情面临选择

你冷了 倦了 我哭了

一开始都不快乐

你用卡片纸写着

有些爱只给到这 真的痛了

怎么了 你累了 说好的 幸福呢

我懂了 不说了 爱淡了 梦远了

开心与不开心一一细数着你在不舍

那些爱过的感觉都太深刻

我都还记得

你不等了 说好的 幸福呢

我错了 泪干了 放手了 后悔了

只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着

要怎么停呢

怎么了 你累了

说好的 幸福呢

我懂了 不说了

爱淡了 梦远了

我都还记得

你不等了 说好的 幸福呢

我错了 泪干了 放手了 后悔了

只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着

要怎么停呢

update update!

ooh this week is a relative short wk. had only 2 days of lessons but both days were super packed. tues had lessons till 5.30...thurs had lessons from 9.30 to 7.30 with only 1 hour of break. hoa record-breaking man. am glad the week is finally over! but exams are coming soon -.-

went shima @ goodwood park hotel for lunch last sat with jinhan dick thongs and weekiat. sian i scratched my mom's car AGAIN. sucks man i didnt stop in time when the alarm sounded off while i was reversing and i buang into the lamp post behind. lucky the scratch wasnt too deep. this is the 3rd time that i have scratched my car in a carpark. lunch was quite ok but i thought it was slightly overpriced. those who like to eat teppanyaki should try it out.

and i went the the southern ridges with jamie on wednesday. it wasnt as nice as wad i have expected...but i like the henderson waves! it's a good place to take pictures and relax there. i think we walked around 6km that morning. too bad we didnt see any squirrels or monkeys. maybe we will go explore sungei buloh nxt time when we are free heh.

dick is flying off tonight. oh well i am sure time will pass by very fast and soon he will be back.

Sunday, September 21, 2008

it's the holidays!

finally it's recess week. this week was the first time i stayed in school for 5 days haha thanks to the quizzes i had. oh well can only say i overstudied for macro and i could have done more for micro. i think i still have some things to catch up for my micro. there's a maths quiz after recess week. it's the first time since pri sch that i have a mcq maths quiz. hopefully i will be able to do well for that.

singing at hall's MAF celebration was quite cui! i kept forgetting the lyrics and i was super nervous. i was even more nervous than when i sang at foc. mayb i was too tired to be nervous when i was at foc haha. alot of pple told me it's the PA system tat was cui but i think it's me la. i was quite amused when meifang msged to thank us and told us that hopefully we will sing again for future events. i think it's more like hopefully there will still be people to hear us sing next time.

sent off shiyang on friday. it's when you send off your good friends that you realised every one has grown up. i still remember the days when we were still in scouts working for our psa. and it seems like yesterday when shiyang told me online that he is going birmingham to study law. when all these friends start coming back we will be going through a new stage of our life. every one will be busy pursuing their goals in life and there will be lesser chances where we gather and talk cock again.
sometimes i really wish i can go back to my secondary school days.

dick and jinhan came and stay over on fri night. oh well i guess that should be the last time already. got to wait for a year before we will have such a chance again. oh well..the bad thing about growing up.

sick

went kuishinbo for lunch yest to celebrate dad's birthday. i swear tat i will not eat kushinbo again for the rest of this yr. am realli kind of sick of tat place already.

i think i am sick. havent been sick for the past 2 years. i think it's either due to food poisoning or stomach flu. tummy has been feelin weird for the whole day and i think i am having a slight fever nw =(

and remind me not to buy anythin from 7-11 (ntu branch) anymore. i forgot there is a minimart at my hall and i told junhong to get my pochai pills from 7-11...and tat freakin place sells the pochai for $2 more than the minimart. bloody hell super waste money.

hope i will get well soon. dont like to fall sick.

Wednesday, September 03, 2008

i kind of miss army life and the days before uni started now. had alot of time to do the things that i like and i had more freedom. i miss the days i go swimming and tanning almost every day. i miss the days i go zuellig for work. even though army life was kind of tough i still kind of miss it now. pple like dick and shiyang will be leaving soon for uk. am sure i will miss them when they are not around. wish that i can go and play soccer every sat morning again with the scout pple...but i dun think that will happen again anytime soon. every one is busy with their own stuff now.

wish i can go for soccer trainings...but biz law is getting in the way.

i want to go jogging too. but my nose is like a tap now.

ipod and birthday.



somehow this teddy usb gives me a very violent impression. imagine having to pluck out the head everytime u want to use the usb.
oh and it's selling for $30. saw someone selling at one of the forums.
went to get jamie's present at funan yesterday. got to say the service is pretty bad over there. got her an ipod. junhong bought a silicon case and those ipod protective sticker. initially i asked one of the staff if they could help me stick onto the ipod and he said can. when i was paying i asked another staff if they could help me paste it. below was our conversation.
staff: sorry we do not provide such services. you will have to stick it yourself after the purchase.
me: oh? but i asked one of your staff just now and he said you guys can help me stick it..cos i am not too sure how to do it.
staff: really? then why dont you find back that person who said he can help you do the pasting and ask him to do the pasting for you?
....................
oh well the staff there were quite suay yesterday cos i wasnt exactly in a very good mood. and of cos i let him know what i felt. am pretty appalled that the service standard for apple is so bad. and i think they have made double deductions to my bank account. got to wait for my statement to come. hopefully they dont cause me anymore problems.
anyway happy birthday to my dear girl! hope you like the presents! =D

Thursday, August 21, 2008

am slacking in hall now cos of the union day. anyway can feel a slight muscle ache on my right leg..think i shldnt run so much already. i feel like going for a swim.

am in the subcom of investment club after paying $20. got the feeling it's some kind of scam haha. anyway i won a 2GB thumbdrive from the lucky draw so i guess that covered the amt i paid for the membership.

got inter-block soccer later. havent played soccer for like 2 weeks already. hope it will be a fun game later!

i still havent got the chance to get my kappa slippers.

been getting alot of new nicknames nwadays. ahpek pui zai uncle etcetc what have you. can someone think of a nicer nick for me??

Stranger

stupid me i forgot to try to switch my micro tutorials to another day. now i have got a 3 hour break after my lecture and i am neither here nor there. am feeling tired nw cos i didnt sleep well last night.

ran 2 rounds around ntu yest. nearly died at the second round. felt my left leg and my right knee going to cui. i guess there's still much training to be done before i can run stand chart. i just found out army half marathon is this wk. i think i can forget about going for it alr since saturday i will probably be out till quite late. hopefully i am able to complete 15km before nxt week. i need stamina~

am thinking of the investment interactive club haha. tonight there's some welcome thingy at 6.45...so i guess i will miss the volleyball game already. there's floorball trials nxt wk hopefully i can get in. and i am interested in running club too ha.

i have got the urge to go kbox. wonder when will i have the time to go...

am into this song nowadays:

Stranger
Turn Around
Turn Around and fix your eye in my direction
So there is a connection
I can't speak
I can't make a sound to somehow capture your attention
I'm staring at perfection
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are
You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight
I'm confident
But I can't pretend I wasn't terrified to meet you
I knew you could see right through me
I saw my life flash right before my very eyes
And I knew just what we'd turn into
I was hopeing that you could see
Take a look at me so you can see
You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are
Your beauty seems so far away
I'd have to write a thousand songs to make you comprehend how beautiful you are
I know that I can't make you stay
But I would give my final breathe to make you understand how beautiful you are
Understand how beautiful you are
You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight
You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
You call me a stranger

University~

it's the 3rd week of school~can say that i am currently enjoying my uni life so far. managed to make some friends in hall as well as in my course. but i dun think i will be really close to them as compared to all my old friends. it's kind of true that after sec sch it's pretty hard to find those close friends who will be with you when u need them.

am pretty glad that i managed to hang out more often with jinhan they all during the past few months. it's true that i have gone missing for 2yrs before that.

got my laptop last week. am pretty satisfied with my purchase, just that the battery can only last for like at most 2 hours. went to 8 flags today to ask the guy there..and he told me the indicated time in the brochure (3.5 hours) refers to standyby timing -.- . i think it's pretty misleading la..who the hell would leave his com standby for 3.5 hours and draining the battery away. am considering getting the 9-cell battery now. see how first mayb i will get my bro to buy for me..since my 21st bday present from him is still missing haha.

havent been blogging nowadays. sometimes reading other pple's blog entries makes me feel emo. oh well we can never stay happy all the time.

never judge a book by it's cover.

Reunion



the last reunion of the year i think. probably got to wait a couple of years before we can have every one back again.

it was nice meeting up with every one. hope we wont have to wait till we finish our uni before we can meet up again.

take care guys. really cherish the friendship.

though i know not many of them will see this entry. ha.

Friday, July 11, 2008

i am not in a very good mood nowadays. tend to get agitated easily. or maybe it's just that my tolerance level has reached a peak.

nice people die young. that's cos they tend to please people at the expense of their own happiness. ended up they keep all the complains and unhappiness to themselves and suffer. i think i can do with a few more years of life =)

得不到的东西永远是最好的. i think these words fit very well into relationships.

i am glad mine doesnt have much problems.

random

went hougang swimming pool to swim today with wanky and ps. muz say the place is not as good as the one at tampines...i still cant believe it that the pool for the average swimmers is like only 1 metres deep. the sun came out when i was going to leave the place. hopefully the next few days will be better.

am trying to meet up with friends before school starts, but somehow it's not easy to get every one together. i am glad that i finally managed to get all the scouts pple together.

sometimes i think i care too much. maybe i should sit back and not care about others.

3 more weeks.

Monday, July 07, 2008

=(

ah i am damn upset that there is a scratch on my new wallet. i totally have no idea how the scratch came about. if i knew maybe i wun be so upset.

damn it. things are not going my way nowadays.

braun

i am super broke now. made an impulsive buy today. hmm actually it's not really an impulsive buy considering i have been eyeing it for weeks.

got my braun buffel wallet for $118 today. that's the most expensive wallet i have ever gotten. shall take very good care of it. i hope i wont lose it.

i am very very poor this month.

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

came across this weird sec sch couple when i was jogging. they were sitting at the park connector outside vjc. when i was running to east coast park they were hugging (and maybe kissing). when i ran back they were still in that position. i didnt jog for a short distance. wonder how they can tahan staying lidat for so long. or maybe i ran faster today.

and damn it i dropped my specs when i was running. was trying to wipe the sweat that went into my eyes. now the lens is slightly chipped off.

dick called me and asked me to go jogging after i came back. should have left home later. it's quite boring to jog alone.

and i wanna go swimming~ after i get the tanning lotion from my sis.

discover your inner economist

i am officially able to run again! went for an evening jog and i am surprised my feet dun hurt anymore..even though both my left and right foot have sustained injuries. kns i kicked my freakin toe against the cupboard today. how clumsy. if i have enough self-discipline to train i shall join stand chart marathon this yr. i want the light blue singlet! been seeing those joggers wearing them.

am reading this book "discover your inner economist" now. thought this part is quite interesting:


"But of course not everyone can be below the average or for that matter above the average. These feelings are largely an illusion. We so often assume that others are going out more than we are or having more fun than we are. In reality we are more typical than we like to think."


my dad just came back from hong kong, and he got me this book. i just got mine last week at borders. now i have got 2 copies.

the son and the father think alike.

random

okay anyone who has been following my blog will notice that my blog entry on the japan trip has stopped at day 2. this is because the lazy me just cant bring myself to carry on typing about the journey. i still have this stack of brochures that i have gotten back from japan to help me type the blog entry. maybe i will carry on the entry some other day when i have the mood ha.

last night was crazy. i went downtown east to sing at kbox with jiamin and junhong from ard 11+ to 3. this is the 2nd time i went for overnight singing the last time was when i was in the army..sang from 12 to 6.30 the nxt day. after the siging we went to watch Get Smart at the 4.30 timeslot. was freaking tired but i managed to last thru the movie. the show was not too bad but at some parts i was really falling asleep. i reached home ard 7.30 and knocked out till 1pm ha.

i have been eying this braun buffel wallet. it's around $119 after a 10% discount. today i was really tempted to get the wallet. my mom offered to buy me but i felt quite paiseh to get her to pay. if i really wanted to buy the wallet i will be paying myself. anyway in the end i didnt get the wallet cos i thought that my new wallet will be quite empty after my purchase ha.

somehow i think i am more willing to pay to get things for people than to get things for myself.

nowadays i have the urge to make impulsive buys. luckily so far i have managed to control myself. think i should stop shopping soon.

i wish i can run soon! school is starting soon and i dun want to go to school with a big tummy :S

Yokoso Japan

i am back from my 7 days tour around japan. reached singapore last night at around 12.30am. i slept at 2.30am and woke up at 7.30am this morning. i think it's because of the time difference over here. japan is 1 hour ahead of us so i actually woke up at 8.30am japan timing. i usually wake up at 6.30am (that's 5.30am singapore time) cos the tour bus leaves at 8am usually.

it was an enjoyable 7 days trip in japan, though it was not exactly 7 days considering i spent 1 night onboard the plane and the last day was actually just half a day. i think i will want to go back to japan again next time, but probably the next time i go there i will be with my wife and kids haha.

shall update according to the days. probably this will be the longest entry in my blog.


Day 1

Reached the airport at around 10. I thought we were too early as the flight was at 11.50pm, but apparently we were the last family to check in. didn’t have anything to do after checking in, so i decided to log in to msn and used the ebuddy to chat. i only knew abt the ebuddy after seeing a girl using it ha.

I think JAL (Japan Airline) serves pretty good food. I like the Japanese tidbits that they served as snacks, and I tried the yuzu drink, which is actually a pomelo drink. I didn’t watch any movies or played any games. I tried sleeping but couldn’t fall asleep cos I felt the plane was hot and stuffy. I sat in between my parents and the movements of both of them woke me up occasionally. The cramp seats didn’t help a lot either. This was the first time I felt like I was going to die on the plane. The stuffiness + cramp-ness nearly killed me. I was so glad that I reached the airport safely, though I didn’t have much sleep that night.

Oh btw the plane took us to Osaka. The first place I visited was to this place called Osaka castle. Apparently it was some olden days castle etc etc. the prob with this tour is the guide didn’t really explain to us the history of the place. Basically we just went there to take pictures and walked around. Aft that we went to this place called Shinsaibashi-suji. It’s actually a shopping street and there are a lot of shops along the street. We had lunch there and I had this nice chicken chop rice. This was probably the nicest meal I have had for the whole trip ha. The last place we went for the day was Universal Studio. The rides there were pretty lousy and only the Spiderman ride was enjoyable. I seriously cant stand queuing up for the rides, and the place was quite cramp and stuff (again), and there was this occasional fart smell when we were indoors.

The hotel we stayed in is called Hotel Keihan. They have this woody Woodstock (not sure if it is called that) design everywhere in the room. I was pretty amused by the toilet bowl in the hotel. They have this button that will help clean ur ass aft u are done with ur business. I wanted to try the toilet bowl but didn’t wanna shit, so decided to just press the button and see what will happen. The first time I tried nothing happened so I guessed probably I gotta press down on the toilet bowl to simulate the weight of someone sitting down. I did that and pressed the button, and yea I saw a tube coming out from the toilet bowl. The next thing I know, water started coming out from the tube and I got wet -.- . well it was still a pretty good experience.

Dinner was buffet style. I ate a lot!

Day 2

Breakfast was buffet again. It was at the same restaurant where we had dinner. I love the Japanese noodles. Anyway we set off at ard 8 so I woke up at 6.30am which was ard 5.30am Singapore time.

We went to this place called the Rokuonji Temple (Golden Pavillion Temple). Not exactly a very exciting place. We went to watch kimono show aft that at this place called the Nishijin Textile Centre. I took several pictures of the kimono girls and my mom noticed that I kept taking pictures of this particular lady. Haha yea I thought she looks quite pretty..but her kimono looks nice too. Lunch was this tempura set lunch, which according to the tour guide, was the safest thing to offer for someone eating Japanese cuisine for the first time. I thought it was just for convenience sake considering that all the other tour groups eating in the same restaurant had the same set lunch that we had. Oh well cant complain much since we are in a tour group. I will definitely visit japan again in the future!

Went to this place called Kiyomizu Temple in the afternoon. Oh I simply love the scenery there. The guide told us Japanese don’t cut down their own trees that’s why we see so many trees in japan. I thought the love and relationship section of the temple was quite interesting. There’re 2 stones on opposite ends there and people are supposed to close their eyes and walk from one side to the other. I am not exactly very sure of what’s the procedure but I saw many school students there buying amulets and stuff to “improve” their love life. I found that pretty amusing, but I guess it’s better to believe it than to take the risk haha. I tried this black bean ice cream there and it was delicious. My mom tried the tofu flavour which I thought was quite blend.

Went to this place called 爱之县in the evening where our hotel was. We stayed in Toyohashi, which was a place inside this 爱之县. The place is more like a rural area and there weren’t many shops around. I walked around the place myself at night as my parents were feeling quite tired already. And guess what..i met my primary school Chinese teacher when I was about to cross the road! I was quite surprised that she could recognize me as it was already quite dark at that time (like 9+ pm). She came from Tokyo and was heading towards Osaka, while I was going from the opposite direction as her. Toyohashi became our mid-way point actually. It was quite amusing that people we don’t meet in Singapore we end up meeting them overseas.

To be continued..

away i go

in around 5 more hours i will be on the plane to the land of the rising sun. to tell the truth i am not in the least bit excited, but i felt the same the day i was going to phuket. i think i will be super excited when i reach japan. hopefully my tour group has got some girls or some no-attitude-problem guys around so that i can make more friends haha.

heard i gotta take another plane when i reach japan. dont ask me the itinerary cos till now i am still not sure where am i heading to. maybe i will have a better idea when i reach the place. am so happy that i got my lin you jia cd just now when i went parkway. now i got nice songs to listen to in my ipod.

sometimes when i look at other people's blogs, i find myself very fortunate to be blessed with nice people around me. at least i am not troubled by love issues - i have got a nice and thoughtful gf, though she is not around by my side now and i feel quite lonely. nor am i troubled by friendship - i have got nice friends who, even though kbs alot and always call each other slutface/bitch/bastards, i know will stand up for me when i need the help. and i have a wonderful family who that i can rely on when i need any help.

i think i am very fortunate...
but i still feel quite emo sometimes.


will update on my japan trip when i am back.

虽然我愿意

请让我靠近你轻轻对你说
别让我每个夜为你受折磨
是多么不容易才默默放手

为了我就当作这次为了我
别让我因为你被回忆折磨
而空气凝结了我们的脸孔
我别无选择

就算我们之间有什么问题
依然想念着你
虽然被放弃
虽然我愿意

就算我们之间有什么难题
黑夜我还想着你
心碎人孤寂
虽然我愿意

再让我靠近你轻轻对你说
当我说我要你从此好好过
是真的否则我怎么肯放手

为了我就当作这次为了我
赐给我你现在幸福的笑容
别让恨冻结了我们的脸孔
请你做选择

就算我们之间有什么问题
依然想念着你
虽然被放弃
虽然我愿意

就算我们之间有什么难题
黑夜我还想着你
心碎人孤寂
虽然我愿意

心碎人孤寂
虽然我愿意
就算我们之间有什么问题
依然想念着你
虽然被放弃
虽然我愿意

就算我们之间有什么难题
黑夜我还想着你
心碎人孤寂
虽然我愿意
(心还想着你)


this is my favourite song now. anyway yesterday was my last day at work. hmm didnt really feel anything, maybe i got to wait till nxt week before i start feeling lost.

treated my collegues to lunch at loyang point after the month-end closing. decided to just be nice and listened to the calls in the morning. dinner was at downtown east. me jin han and jianyang treated them to some hong kong cafe there. i only had a drink and some chicken cos was still full from the lunch. stella wanted to pay for our dinner but i beat her to it haha in the end she treated us to gelare instead. the night was spent at arcade instead of bowling cos there were simply too many people at bowling.

i am still quite surprised that people so much older than me are using msn and facebook. the infiltration of technology in our lives? haha. but i think i will most prob still be using msn when i reach my thirties..which will be another 10 more years haha.

oh and a big thanks to jia min for giving me a farewell card. she's the only person there who has given me something. that card shall add on to my collection of letters and cards ha.

nxt thurs to japan! meanwhile i shall go exercise and keep fit.

End of Work

and it's the end of May already. started work at zuellig pharma on the 24 March, one week after i ended my job at standard chartered bank. been very happy working at zuellig, not cos of the work that i am doing there but the friends i have gotten to know. i think this will be the last time that me jinhan and jianyang work together. after this jianyang is goin overseas to study and we will all be startin on our university life...working hard for different paths in the future. it is highly unlikely that we will be working together again unless we decide to start up some business or something haha.

anyway gotta say i really enjoyed my stay at my current workplace..got to know the aunties there, who treated me really well and i must say i really enjoyed working with them. maybe i can communicate better with the older people. the previous job at standard chartered i didnt manage to make many friends over there. maybe cos the bank is a place where people work only for their benefits and alot of times backstabbing occurs. can feel that my collegues didnt really appreciate me working over there...maybe cos i was competing with them and threatening their previledges. over here at zuellig it's kind of different..somehow i have treated my collegues as my friends and i feel more comfortable working there. at least help is rendered when i need them...and the people there are more friendly.
gotta thank stella michelle sherlyn for helping me out whenever i needed their help. i am pretty sure they will never read this entry but this entry serves as a reminder for me..should i ever forget their names haha. this is highly unlikely though. these 2 months at zuellig have give me pretty good memories - the 2 hour lunch breaks that i had...the basketball sessions at the arcades..the ice cream at mac donalds.. loyang point...downtown east..white sands.. and many many more.

kind of regret my sudden outburst on my collegue today. guess i should have controlled my temper more. i guess it's just normal for temp staffs to be treated this way. i think i need to control my temper better, cos i am sure there will be many more nasty things that will happen when i really go out to work. got to learn to keep my cool and maintain a smile. i think steven is a pretty good example for me to follow.

well it's the end of 6 months of working for me. now i got to get ready for life in uni. it is going to be a different thing altogether.

My 21st Birthday =)

alright i am 21 years old already. got to admit i dont feel like a 21 year old at all. i still feel like a teenager but i know the time as a teenager has passed gotta look forward now. anyway this is so far the happiest birthday i have ever had.

jam got me a very nice watch before my birthday itself. my parents got me a canon ixus 860 camera for my birthday. been eying that camera for quite some time and i think it's a really good camera. went long beach for dinner with my family. the meal cost ard $400+. food was not bad but service was not good..waited very long for the food to come.

treated jianyang jinhan junhong and thongmeng to dinner at kuishinbo suntec city. whole meal cost around $200 but it was pretty worth it considering what they gave me for my present. met junhong earlier to go reserve seats at kuishinbo cos they didnt allow reservation. i asked junhong what they were giving me junhong said he duno and he doesnt even know how much he has to pay yet. i didnt know junhong was such an excellent liar until that day.

earlier in the day i asked jianyang what they are goin to give me he told me it's something palm-sized and can be expensive or cheap. i guessed it was a handphone but he didnt wanna tell me. jinhan said i will see when we go eat at kuishinbo. later in the evening jianyang and jinhan came with a singtel bag. i know my guess was correct. jianyang told me they have given me the same handphone as his cos i said his handphone was nice. gotta admit i was abit disappointed when i got the phone..not because it was not nice but i thought having another phone was quite useless since i have just gotten mine last year lol. but still i was appreciative la.

during the dinner he told me we gotta go his car later cos there is a cheese cake he bought for me. den he blamed jinhan for not bringing the cake to the restaurant and we gotta walk there to take it. when we got to his car jianyang opened his boot and i saw a big box in a big plastic bag. i was thinking why did they get such a big cake...cham alr we all so full cannot finish the cake then i gotta bring home to add on to the already-cannot-finish birthday cake. i saw them grinning them i opened the plastic bag. it was a ps3 inside!! haha they bluffed me and the handphone was actually the box for jianyang's phone. was super surprised and i think my face went super red. couldnt keep my mouth closed cos the smile just wouldnt go away haha. they got me the ps3 and a game. it's the highly rated Grand Theft Auto IV. really didnt expect them to spend so much. it was a very pleasant surprise for me and a memorable one too.

this is the picture of me looking super happy when i got my ps3. think i look quite awful in that picture thanks to thong meng. but the picture reflected very well of how i felt at that time.


and here's the picture of the phone they initially "gave" me. ended up it was juz jianyang's phone box haha. i was thinking why the box looked so cui. and it was also thanks to thong meng that i took this picture. he wanted me to take a picture with the box when we were eating at kuishinbo.


it was a memorable birthday for me. a million thanks to my family, jamie, the chinese high gang - jin han, jian yang, thong meng and junhong and those who have wished me happy birthday that day. it was the most exciting birthday i have ever had and the happiest one too =)

woohoo start work alr! .....sian ><

alright mr chew is finally out of the jobless status. am currently working at standard chartered bank as a collector...or Credit Management Officer (i think that's the term used). anyway am working from 8.30 to 5.30 daily. quite sian considering that no one eats lunch with me and i dont know any one there apart from the supervisor. oh well maybe it's just the first day.

spent my day looking through the handouts that the supervisor gave me. basically i got to undergo training for abt 3wks before i can start work as a collector. my job is basically a "loanshark" calling pple to remind them that they have overdue payments in their credit cards and making sure that they pay up the overdue payments. i think it will be quite an interesting job considering that i get to call alot of pple. anyway the estimated number of calls i got to make per day is about 250 :O hope i will get used to the job soon.

i havent woken up at 6+ for a very long time. am feeling very tired now. hope i will get used to this kind of life soon.
