The revisit

Greetings. I haven't stepped in here for quite sometime. Seems like the habit of blogging (to bitch, share or inspire) seems to have taken a vacation like Manchester United's recent form.

However, class is forever, whatever said here gonna be as epic.

So I went away for approximately a month, pretty tied down by auditing responsibilities in camp. Nevertheless, despite the little time I had to survive with for the past few weeks, I managed to squeeze time daily, without fail, to pop by my Girlfriend's inbox. :) She had been understanding and supportive throughout this period despite her tough schedule. And hence, behind every successful man, there is a successful lady. And even before I make my mark, my angel, already bright as she is, a successful ready I call mine.

Kinda low on cash. So for the next couple of months or so, I am gonna say lotsa, "no" to many people. I guess here shall be my breakdown:


Allowance : 820

Rainy day savings : 200
Insurance savings : 110
Unfinished business : 200
Girlfriend : 310
Myself : 0 .

YES, ZERO. I have to be discipline. I have to! 820 is totally uncool. I am dying to work. I mean, even if its giving tuition to primary school kids for 4 hours every weekend just to make a couple of hundreds more, I will grab it.

And so sorry Girlfriend. I know it sucks to shop with someone who can't drive you around YET, who can't skip around from mall to mall grabbing everything that we like without having to consider the price. I know it sucks. But patience please, I am working on it. Working very hard actually.

And hopefully the next time I drop by, I can happily declare that I have completed my unfinished business, moving to the next milestone of my life with her by my side.

Imperfection is a noun

Greetings. I am the noun , Imperfection.

I always had this thought which triggered me to ponder once awhile. Something annoying which I shamelessly put away all the time. Something which forced to convince myself to keep quiet about.

Yet, yet again.

Girlfriend showed me that a large percentage of women will not date guys who are of lower qualification and earns less than themselves.

My girlfriend will soon be a degree holder. Just right before I ORD, she will be holding a bachelor. And I ORD with a diploma, with additional 2 years of unpractical work experience which employers will not recognize if we were to pry their skull with a crowbar.

A bachelor equates higher income than a diploma holder. Enough said.

My poor Girlfriend. Her boyfriend is ugly, poor and uneducated. Offensive to many alpha male in Singapore, but fact is fact.

My Girlfriend tells me , " just throw a rock at any direction, anywhere. You will most probably hit a degree holder ". So I guess if the rock where to land on my grid, I shall kick it away, and save the embarrassment.

At times I am afraid to open up to her. It may pressurize her in some sense. She doesn't like to be in that boiler, she doesn't deserve to be in there.

Solo

I will not tell anybody of the hurdles I have to cross.

I don't believe in the people I love having to stand by me after I've failed. I am not made to fail. I am not created to fall short.

Depriving them of the knowledge will prevent them from expecting. Lack of expectations lessens the disappointment.

Nobody knows. And I am more than just a glass bottle.

I don't have forever to be with her. Because for anything, I will be the first to drop from her list.

And anything can happen.

Revival

Haven't been around for a long time. Somehow lost the touch to write something here. It wasn't something like a writer's block, just didn't have the mood to drop by. Girlfriend kept asking me to update something and I just procrastinated again and again

Anyway, the past 1 month has been pretty fulfilling. I've been surfing around, trying to get inspiration to do something for Girlfriend. I mean, I already got the idea. But just seeking that perfect location to reply to her snail letter. At times I really thought of giving up my idea, afraid she may grow impatient, and settle for something second best. But, what for when I have time to spare? We have time to share. :)

And proud to say, perhaps the last among my friends, I finally got to watch Despicable me last week with her. All the hype over the minions were not over rated as I dare say, this is the greatest animation I've caught so far after UP. Even Mary and Max couldn't match up to this awesome movie. However, Inception hasn't got registered in my brain.

I am having this mixed feeling about NDP coming towards an end. My Monday off days are on the brink of extinction.

Reima celebrated his Birthday with a blast. Met up with the gamers for awhile. Didn't really quite expect Leann to eventually bond so closely to them. I remembered her as my 1st FYP mate who asked me out for dinner and had to confirm time and time again that my friends wouldn't pop by. And Sharon's attendance was a surprise. Witnessing Reima and Sharon chatting happily was kinda nostalgic.

Sam went to Taiwan and dropped a postcard back. Taiwan, a place which Girlfriend and I gonna visit next year! I figured that her greatest fear isn't me checking out on those worldwide famous Tai-meis, but getting myself hooked on their flagship bubble tea! Watch the tummy grow, grow, grow!

It is relieving to watch Girlfriend interacting so well with my family. I mean, I haven't been blessed with the chance to spend quality time with her family other than her younger sister. But it makes me happy knowing that she feels comfortable with my family. Making orders, suggesting fun things to do, helping out etc.

I am a lucky bastard, if wouldn't for National Service

Rediscovery

This entry is about a week late. Excuse me for my tight schedules. However, I've mentioned about this place ever since I've set voyage. And here , I am going to share.

The date : Colorful Girl with Dull Boy .

Mint, Museum of Toys.

Many times we look at a place in pamphlets , all impressed with the advertising shots and flowery words decorating all over to entice you only to be disappointed after you actually set foot on that place. I know how it feels.

When my girlfriend showed me Mint's pamphlet, I was excited, yet, unsure. We promised each other to visit a museum and a museum of toys seems like a refreshing idea. I mean, since when was the last time you took out your wooden toy car and run them on the tiles of your floor and went , " ZRROOOOOMMM.. SCREEECHHHHHHHHHH" ?

Trust me, Mint will not fail you.



Okay, to suit the mood. She took the effort to get a little funky with her dressing. Appreciate it, in fact, love it. We actually had home made breakfast before setting off!




The place looked ordinary on the outside. In fact, it looked like, to me, a hotel lobby. And, that is the lift.





Walking through each gallery, you not only get to look at toys of that particular category, but also learn about their history. Like for example, I've learnt Germany, Japan and USA were once strong contenders for the World's best tin toy industry. And with that knowledge, I started to notice the difference in style and visual concepts of toys with very similar idea and mechanism. And odd as it may be sound, I felt that not only the gallery was an eye opener, it was quite an enriching one too.





Each level has its own specific category. They have :

Level 5 : Outer space. You not only get to see space ship toys, but also Star Wars life size mannequins and even ray guns.

Level 4 : Characters. Superheroes like Bat Man and Eagle Dan belong to this level. Popeye and TinTin along with many other comic book character shared this level as well.

Level 3 : Childhood Favorites : This is interesting. You get to see very old handmade wooden dolls and sewn toys.

Level 2 : Collectibles. For me, this is the most interesting level. They have a fleet of matchbox tin cars models. And this museum is not all about cartoon characters, comic super heroes, they even featured The Beatles and old movie posters like classic King Kong.



Now after visiting Mint, I kinda have an idea how a section of my future home will be like. :)



("v") The right people, the right furniture.

The option

First and foremost, thanks Ethel for inviting me to her birthday party. Watching Netherlands beat Brazil may be something I didn't expect, yet I am glad it happened. Brazil has lost their own unique playing style and they deserve to be beaten!

NDP rehearsal was different yesterday because Girlfriend and her friends were there during the combined rehearsal. It felt like a field camp earlier on as my socks were soaked ,many thanks to Poseidon anyway. The greatest irony was the reason I had to run in the rain was to retrieve umbrellas

EskiBar and Sarpino's pizzeria with the NDP supporters led by my Girlfriend. I was having a bad headache, my feet are aching, I was starving and I am almost broke and I miss Girlfriend. Then, I came to realize that it is not always beneficial to give options and choices. I mean, I know it will not be easy for her to have to choose spending dinner with me, or out chilling with her friends. And I know that no matter how tired am I, not being able to spend time with her isn't an option.

And with that, I am one step closer to a fuller adult, a higher mortal. And best of all, we witnessed this China Lady dancing on EskiBar's "dance floor" to RnB. She makes a good reference for SIMS 12, the mental hospital.

And seriously. C.S Cowboy at EskiBar is great. Lol. If you wanna give it a shot, try Sex on the Pool Table at Double O =] Same combination, just that EskiBar shot glass is taller and costs 9 bucks more.

Mood aside

I am going to share this once, and then forget about this whole statement and smile my day away, meaningfully

" The system taught me that none are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

Alright, Girlfriend is not feeling well. Guess it is due to fatigue built up for the past few days. She didn't exactly get enough rest after her Hong Kong trip, largely my fault. Have kept her busy all these while. So, I have a part to play in her recuperating process!

HELLO GIRLFRIEND, I WILL MAKE YOU HOT TEA AND SANDWICHES WHEN YOU ARE DONE!

To sum it all up :



Great weekend.

I haven't got the chance to retrieve pictures from Girlfriend's camera yet. We took quite a few "wallpaper-worthy" shots while taking a break at the Sky Park over at Vivocity. She was so excited about her new flats and to fuse into her joy, she suggested that we can perhaps take some shots of it.

Trust me, Sky Park on that day punched in that extra ounce of World Cup fever. Seeing indian kids running in that shallow pool of water above rocky brown pebbles with greenery as background made us felt as though we were at South Africa.

Okay, the reason we were at Vivocity was to celebrate my Dad's 61st birthday at Tajimaya Yakiniku. No doubt the price was steep. However, the food was pretty fresh. And best of all, they have a fan ventilation under every grill so the smoke from the grills doesn't stain your clothes.



See, no smell! Girlfriend smelt like she has just stepped out of the bathroom!

Then again, if you can't tolerate sub-standard services, don't bother patronizing. They are not worth the 10%. And glad, we didn't allow half-ass staff to spoil the fun!




And a peek into the future, this will be the configuration to my side of the family in the future. Unless we have a few more little ones coming along the way.

Speaking of little ones, my eldest sister just got married to Yide. It was held at a humble restaurant at Arab Street. And yes, Girlfriend turned up as well, as part of MY family =]. Emphasis made, "MY family" .

And yesterday made me wanna be a photographer. My sister engaged a photographer, word has it to be professional . He dropped by with a huge DSLR, and a set of lens cleaning kit. Took weird stances while snapping throughout the solemnization . To wrap up his new portfolio add-ons, he orchestrated this shot.



Well, its the king and his queen by the throne kinda shot. But wassup with the damaged wall and air condition unit? Seriously, the lighting, on set, with adjusted window shutters, was great but it wasn't captured. He wield his camera like a wand, and oh what a pity, nothing magical was being conjured



Well, this shot is better. Taking advantage of the colors and great placement of light above at the ceiling. At ISO 1600, the picture turned out grainy , but still, the composition and lighting study was there. And it was Roy who taught me the terms and setting, I ain't that good. LOL


And it was by me =x . TEEHEE


And the family shots.





And yes, Girlfriend took the effort to pick her dress, heels, accessories for this event. And it reminded me, once again, that I have to be presentable standing next to her. And especially, hopefully, eventually, in front of her family. I need to grow up, earn more, and be better!

2nd sister and Roy have left for Australia this morning. They will be there for couple of years to study. Mom cried as they walked into the departure hall and I guess my sister didn't really dare to turn back to see us waving and bidding our goodbyes. Well, after they've settled down there, we will all head over to pay them a visit. And hopefully, Girlfriend can join us too :)

For all the good things that happened to me, I hope you can derive joy from my happy days.

I love my Girlfriend. Random, but necessary to end it off this way. TEEHEE!

Blackgle

1 more day before Girlfriend and family returns from Hong Kong! :)

Well, World Cup kicked off few days ago. I've gotta say that the results are pretty disappointing. I remember a couple of Euro back when goal spree are norms which gives people the lionheart confidence to bid crazy bets like 4-5 goals.

And proud to admit, till today, I have not place a single sinful bet despite having quite a few predictions on the nail! And my predictions today :

Ivory Coast and Portugal - 2 or 3 goals

NZ and Slovakia - 2 goals
Brazil and North Korea - 3 goals

Anyway, Girlfriend would like to see more users of Blackgle.net. Basically, it is Google in a new black suit. As practiced on Earth Days, we switch off our electrical appliances for couple of hours, dim our screens etc. This works like wise



"Hello Melissa Poon", says the search engine

They are missing

Sage flew for Boston yesterday morning for some internship. I wish him all the best in both career, personal value adding growth and the soon-to-establish relationship with boobie chick, Lina , or any blond.

And counting down till Wednesday when my Princess will finally, return to Singapore.

Dad's birthday is coming and we are planning to get him a gift. The shit about getting dad a gift is that he has everything. He has wallet, new wallets, clothes, new clothes, watches, new watches, pens, new pens, shoes, new shoes etc. He has everything he needs but I couldn't keep my mind off this beauty the moment I set my eyes on it :



Anyway, one more year to ORD. I've painfully got through 1 year of hell. Another 10% of a decade to escape the clenching claws of Thanathos.

Rejoice, oh yes indeed. And time to worry.

I've just read the recommendation testimonial Mediafreaks written for me the day I left the studio to serve the army . It gave me the confidence to mail them regarding my release from service one year from now, telling them that I am keen to return to the birth place of my career.

Now I am anxious. I am not created to fail. And I hope I will not this time.

Packed her bags

My Girlfriend gonna leave for Hong Kong tomorrow for a trip. See, the cool thing about Hong Kong is that they were once a British Colony ( I know being colonized ain't cool but, you will see) and they speak Cantonese.

See, Cantonese with the English accent, it makes the whole dialect sound so flamboyant. Even when you are pissed with that sonnawabich, you can make him smile when you slur shit at him in Cantonese.

And not just that, even musicians appreciate the language. Let ask Ben E King



Imagine this song on acapella , it will go :

When the night (diu diu) has come (diu diu diu diu diu)
And the land is dark ( diu diu diu diu diu) .. .. ..
... .. .


And "diu" in Cantonese means , " fuck" . Get what I mean now?

Okay, back to the topic of she going overseas. I remember when we were younger, I hate it when she goes overseas. Imagine, we can't talk and all the shit. Every time she does, I will make a damn huge fuss about it.

Damn, I've grown up. Right now, I graciously spread my arms, and see her board the Boeing 747. I wish her all the best, great time, great fun. But don't forget about me :(

And speaking of growing up.


Wisdom Molar. I know you are in there. ARGH!

The Euro Dream

I've always wanted to go down to Old Trafford with Dad, Girlfriend and Andy one day to watch Manchester United's Champions League home match. However, for the next 5 years or so, I can only see myself going on short trips if I wanna save up for my future home and stuff.

Perhaps getting into a relationship and working in Mediafreaks for real made me into a man. No credits for National Service, the slogan is just a fraud.

Speaking of being a man, I have to convince my mom that metrosexual isn't gay. I mean, her son shaves his legs, crotch and pits. I have this fetish for leather totes with zips and useless compartments. Damn.

Sometimes I wonder if sweet smelling body foam induces female hormones. YIKES!

Infact, I love my Princess too much to be gay.

METRO is the new MAN

The dinner

Well, I met her friends for dinner last night. I kinda shamelessly tagged along . I mean, it was book out night. Wouldn't make it in time to meet Reima , Ethel and crew last night anyway considering the timing and stuff.

Anyway, the main point.

I noticed that her clique and mine talk about very different stuff. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy myself very much last night with the company of Girlfriend and her clique. Just that , I couldn't quite get myself to participate. Most of the time I just smiled , and listen.

My clique, when we talk about our jobs, we talk about people. How they are, what they do, their mindset. For them, they talk about the job itself. The issue, the achievements, the learning experience. It was kinda interesting as one of her friends, Dahniela, actually studies Social Science (or something like that), which am glad that she was enthusiastically sharing her professional insights on how she view matters because these are basically stuff I don't usually hear or even talk about. And , yeap, she mentioned about this book call, " Nineteen Eighty Four". Some prophecy coincidental between fiction and non fiction. Which, got me kinda interested and I may eventually read it.

Come to think about it, "may" and " eventually" don't really come in hand in hand.

And I hardly completed any books. I do read, but I don't really read to the end. I am more interested in characters and build ups rather than how the story ends. And speaking of incomplete.



I did this for a while while Girlfriend was online shopping. I doubt I will complete it , or if I do, not anytime soon.

Girlfriend having her Queen at the moment. The random mood swing and cramp tummy. All the best! I will be by your side! :)

Soap

This is my first time posting an entry from camp. On duty today, so, doubt there will be much sleep. In fact, will be satisfied if I can just have 2 hours of sleep tonight. The safari bed here is broken and not replaced. So much for empty talks about efficiency within the organization makes my anus itchy.

Serving in this unit makes me feel like a soap bar in a soap dispenser.


Anyway, I just helped Girlfriend with her company stuff. Didn't expect her to actually be able to find something useful out of me. I feel so proud of myself, and so proud of her for being able to get her stuff done by the end of the day.

I know it is only Tuesday but I can't wait to get out of this Tatarus.

Godlike

I am one blessed asshole.

For the past weeks, my girlfriend has been talking to me about her friend, XZ. She was invited to his mega epic 22nd birthday party and he was nice enough to invite me over as well. From timing to meet, venue, gifts etc etc, Princess and I talked about him all the time. She talks to him all the time, goes out with him just to get him to pick his own gift. XZ was the talk of the weeks like "Pokerface" was in UK charts.

And so, yesterday was the "big" day. All the conversation we had seemed to be only for that very moment XZ and I exchange salutation and bid goodbyes. I took the effort to dress up . A smart shirt, smart berms, well covered shoes, even the gold and silver Gucci dress watch which I usually don't put on was picked from my range. I wanted to give her friends a good first impression. At least when they see me walk down that chalet corridor , they will stop and stare, exchange whispering comments like , " Melissa's guy don't seem that bad after all" and stuff like that. I wanted to feel like Zac Efron in the movie, "17 again"

Alright..


The above scenario was all a scam. All staged like September 11, like the gulf war, like Wall Street in the early 20th century.

Just like you, I was part of the scam too. I was at the other end from the rest. I was the victim. Shot, injected with happy pills like Lisa Simpsons and one of Season 20 episodes, I saw smiley faces everywhere ever since I realized it was a scam.

Girlfriend held my hand into the room, and exited the backdoor. Then I heard , " HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Happy Birthday? To me?

Suddenly my brains felt as tiny as Squirrels' testicles.

YES! TO ME! Cheered and hailed, my cousins, parents, sisters , in-laws and girlfriend danced around me with bang pops and skewers , kebabs etc!

I actually dressed to impress, in my own party, for my own family. AHHH! And best of all, she brought clothes for me to change because we will be staying over.


There was no XZ birthday or any shit. My girlfriend, along with my family, took the whole month to plan this more than perfect birthday surprise for me. My Princess, the conductor of the orchestra, the delicate fingers behind the curtains, did all these for her boyfriend. It was an EARLY birthday celebration for ME!

For the past 8 years, I've always wanted to own a razer mouse. It was copperhead that was on my wishlist. I used to be quite a gamer. MMORPG especially. Copperhead, the flagship gaming mouse of the prestigious Razer cooperation back then. And yesterday, I got a Razer Imperator from her! What is 1800 DPI when just a flick of my thumb, I can move at a rate of 5600 DPI. My Goddess calls it , "the crazy mouse"

And of course, thanks Melina for her exquisite box of drawing pencils, Aunt for my shirt and parents/cousins for the red packet

But the greatest gift of all was that I realize how much people around me are willing to do things just to make me happy. How fortunate am I to be able to see my girlfriend and family so spontaneous and cooperative to be able to coordinate and put up such a good party. And even Roy, he wasn't feeling well, yet turned up because he understands that his presence means so much, and as much as what I mean to him.

I am thankful. And waking up in wee hours, seeing my girlfriend next to me made me felt like we are already married. Lol!

Okay, some pictures to remember the night.





My gift, the Princess.



My parents. And I know my Mom gonna eat most of the cake and hence, the murderous glare.



My sisters. See what Army has done? They actually, blatantly, coordinated everything at my place WITHOUT me realizing. I should stay home more often.



This is a real stunner. I didn't expect my Dad's side of the family to drop by too. Usually we only meet up in Malaysia since my Dad was a Malaysian before. What a jaw dropper.




My cousins and nephew Caleb. And they even brought DIY spring roll ingredients! I didn't have to face frowns of disgruntle aunties when I requested for extra peanuts yesterday!

And for all the joy given to me, here is something to share.

Just for joy and laughter sake.

Thanks Girlfriend for all the accessories..















This was how cake was served


TEEHEE!

Thought of the day : My life is like a bottle of wine. It gets better as I age

And yet.

It is the time of the year where the only 2 worthy to watch soccer leagues, La Liga and BPL comes to a closure. However, no news of Manchester United is posted, simply because we didn't manage a quadruplet. Admit it, as much as I prefer Berbatov's silky sublime skills to Tevez's headless runs, Berbatov hasn't been anywhere close to prolific. And face it, Ronaldo left a pair of boots way too huge for Valencia.

Anyway, NDP starts this Saturday and am gonna meet Girlfriend on that day. And she left her hairband at my place, again -.- . Oh well, she can claim them when....


SHE STAYS OVER THIS WEEKEND! WOOHOO!

And I have a polarized surprise for her. Lack that final few touches before it is all set and ready for her speechless astonishment.

110 by 40, 110 by 40. Remember these digits.

Monday, May 3, 2010

To my beautiful girl




Good luck for tomorrow's paper =] Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Spotlight

I've it all planned. A secret not to be mentioned. However, I lack the skills and money.

Some little things that make life great.

It was totally random when I was swimming. Paddling myself against the current, I kinda thought to myself that my family, within my very own world, has expanded. I've included her, her sister and her mom into my family photo. And without realizing, occasionally, I actually ask how her mom is doing , express interest in her well being etc.

And that feels good , somehow. The ability to show care to more people , to me, signifies a stage of maturity whereby I know that I can take care of myself and have the ability to care for others, and even more that the initial sum.

So to all, I've gone one step further. =] And to Girlfriend, we are way better than before.

And I crave Cola. I crave Ribena. Can't they fuse these two together?

Sunday, April 18, 2010

Chicken and Egg

I've finally theorized and formulated a logic which answers the godlike question which stumbles even the brightest scholar from the Qin Dynasty.

Which comes first, the chicken or egg? In this context, the chicken.

Anyway, Girlfriend's cough has been slain-ed and nullified by my Mom's epic cough syrup. I tasted a little from the cap and I got sucker punched into deep sleep too.

Speaking of sleep, I failed to wake up to watch Spur's match last night. Wanted to watch the full 90 of how Spur hammered Chelsea. 1 point behind is still a huge gap against Manchester United though. *Sigh*

Anyway, thought of the day. Some words of wisdom actually.

"Army is designed to engulf you in darkness, making you feel that time has stopped. And that is why they insist that every service personnel gets a digital watch with light function so that they can't use the organization as an excuse for falling in late"

Concrete steps

Right now, they are only words. Within the next 6-9 months, I hope I can cement my place.

Its okay to be ambitious, but it is never alright to be naive. Thick skin, but taking initiatives may be the only way to carry on that pleasant impression I supplied during my first 7 months on my epic pathway to a world breaking designer in some very flagship projects within the genre.

Girlfriend has been patient with me. Schedule, income , availability. Both of us have gone to a stage whereby every time we have a heated conversation , both of us are sane enough to understand that it is nothing personal, but it is just the nature of the issue. And for that alone is enough to justify my long wait to where ever we are standing now.



Some Lilcdawg!

Blue streamers

I can see it. The Barclay's trophy with blue and black streamers on thanks to Mike Dean. 3 clear penalties, one offside goal, one penalty box handball. I vow to no longer curse and swear, may my wrath be "transmitted" to u via another reckless taxi driver.

Anyway, girlfriend has been busy with project. And the least I can do as a supportive boyfriend is to standby for any of her needs, be it physical, mental, logistically or... uhh.. hunger?

To her, preparing lunch for her is already foreplay. =]



Out in Singapore and we are gonna catch it!

Sunday, March 28, 2010

Family Scrabble!

Girlfriend, Roy and I set ourselves to a game of "rule-less" Scrabble. Abbreviations, online languages, 1337 shit, or anything creative is accepted as long as the other 2 players agree to your input. And here is ours!



1) B M W out of the board
2) T O W (Inverted M) N
3) W I n S
4) S H I T O N E
5) R I F L E B I N D S

Tip : Sandwiches

Treat this entry as 27th March's. Sorry for the late entry, my day stretched till about 6 am this morning.

Alright, first and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! Hope you like the bag Meli and I got for you =]

And, it was Sylvia's birthday too. She had it in her own classic KTV Lounge. I can't sing, I don't play pool much, I've stopped excessive drinking. They don't see me often in huge gatherings like that and so my role last night, the photo prop. Since I have no gift, Sylvia, the birthday girl, who has been enthusiastically roamed around to take pictures requested a birthday shot with me. And I came up with an "ugly face" theory.

See , ugly people like me unfortunately, is subjected to criticism. Even an armchair commented on my ugly face on Facebook once awhile. So I've adopted this "ugly face" snapshot so religiously, it has became hard to smile. Reason being if you flash dumb faces, people can only say , " AHAHAHHA! His expression looks so funny! " And nobody really knows how ugly you are...

Except you :(

Okay, there is always this simple thing in a relationship whereby both of you will say, " it is OUR thing and I am glad we have it. " And for Girlfriend and I, MAKING SANDWICHES!

I tell you x3 , our sandwiches are epic. Okay, in fact lunch yesterday was even greater than Avatar 2.

Sandwich ( 3 slices of toast bread, lettuce, tuna mayonnaise, mayonnaise, black forest smoke ham, egg mayo with rosemary )
Baked potato (typical sour cream and fresh bacon bits)
Minestrone soup (with toast to go along)

We even made little flags for our sandwiches! And perhaps it is time to realize that with the amount of dish washing my girlfriend has to do, it is my duty to get her moisturizing cream. In fact, purchasing of the ingredients cost 30 bucks and I believe it would cost as much if we have it out in the club cafeteria.

Sandwiches, GREAT SUCCESS!

And yeap, seriously, making sandwiches gives you weird , tingly sweetness somehow. It should be tipped in the next marriage consultant show.

7pm Book-in is like sucking penis

Hello, this is my girlfriend :



She dresses up even at home. Well, that is because we are webcamming =] (I guess). I only wear my underwear at home. And I've passed cough to her last night in the process of creating cough mixture. I am sorry! Anyway, say hi to her.

I am booking in at 7pm tonight. And I am not happy. And I still need my Carl's Jr.

Restless.

Revival

Exercise Deep Heat just ended. The mind sapping air battles don't seem that difficult to handle. The coordination between me and my gunners made things go on pretty well. My last detachment was given a thumb up after my team has shot down a F5 plane.

And the same line that kept me going, " no matter how shitty the week is, make the weekend worth the pain"

Indeed, indeed.

The stress saturation we were all vacuumed under had eventually emerged us into an android. There is no reason for us to crumble to anything, and no reason for me not to put another 20% more in anything I do.

I've spent a great weekend with her. Shopping around town is just an activity to fill up the empty slot which creates a perfect reason for us to spend some time together. Slept over after attending some cohesion BBQ with my camp mates. I guess one very big difference between us then and now is that right now, we are much more open when it comes to meeting the clique.

And we bought matching pajamas! Not exactly pajamas, but just those kinda sleeping underwear. And that explains why u see two grey tees and strip bottoms brushing teeth at the same time! Sometimes it is not about the physical matter, but the significance. Symbolic, because people see something beyond superficial.

And it feels great, that just hours before booking back into my kennel, I can tell myself that this weekend is a weekend well spent.

Blessed

Early celebration

Celebrated my second sister birthday yesterday at a restaurant. She kept insisted that we got her a cake ( which we did ) and hence, the surprise wasn't such a surprise anymore.

Thick skin. And glad it doesn't run in the family. TEEHEE.



No, she is not my sister. SHE IS THE GIRLFRIEND! And see that Iphone? I WANT AN IPHONE TOO! Considering a HTC/ Blackberry meanwhile though. And if this picture has fingers and toes, I will be able to show off the approximately 30 minutes mani/pedi services I gave to her couple of hours back. Shaping nails is more fun than taking down imaginary air crafts

Now that I am in shitty SAF, and in a relationship. I've to learn a lot on balancing girlfriend, career, family, friends and camp. It is indeed challenging as right now, my week is only cut down to 2 days.

And may I emphasize, the word is ," balance" and not "sacrifice" . Of course, camp can be sacrificed . I don't mind slashing it out of my list.

And with this, I will grow to be a better man!

Fieldcamp off my mind

Field camp coming soon and I am glad that it hasn't bothered me much. Special thanks to Girlfriend and family for making this weekend go at a comfortable pace.

Alright, stuff.

She dropped by to complete her assignment. Yeap, I may not be a uni student, not even from the junior college. But, I know how to see when a person is distracted and hell, she was! Restlessly fidgeting, I had to help her distress. So I handed her a medium tip bullet marker and told her to vandalize my bare back as I try to catch a 3 minutes snooze.



Epic. She even asked me how to draw a tortoise. So I told her to start off with a circle and a tic-tac-toe inside.

Right, as all of us know, Iphone camera isn't anywhere close to awesome. Just an average, able-to-get-by standard. But sometimes, photo taking isn't about how pretty the aperture turns out, the correct use of shuttle speed, right exposure, fish-eye. It is about the moment and exploring of angular shots. And yeap, we had fun today.

The glory of my life



And our matching ipods!



And yes, she is dying for this moment. Showing off of the epic vios





I know I am no where near wise. In fact, I give all kinda odd advices and have this very warped perspective of life. Nurul chatted with me a couple of weeks back and she felt that I've matured mentally but in quite a twisted way. And here is a life rule I can offer . Rolling out the visual aid...




You don't have to play by every single rule in life.














And yes, the car is moving. I know its a car park, but it is moving out to a bigger world. Screw you for doubting the credibility of that picture. I HATE YOU ALL! :(

Fail. Again.

I've failed my second driving test. It seemed to me like the results doesn't depend on your ability to drive and survive on the road, but more of, how the passenger feel about you driving. Like mentioned before, it is like a handwriting competition. It is based on how the feel about the whole thing, without any criteria, without any standards. So if the testers are so unprofessional , the test has no standards, how credible the license is?

Imagine, you are some judge in some culinary test and you deem a guy unfit to cook because you feel that the eggs he purchased are not huge enough and it is nothing about his ability to produce something delicious.

It is about giving them what they want, then again, they wouldn't tell you what they are looking for. It is even harder than guessing which piece this jigsaw chip belong to in this 1000 piece puzzle.

Yes, call me sour grape, call me failure. Seriously, it is not that piece of card which I'm vying for, I just need something to produce to the police and car insurance agency.

So if I were to take a 3rd attempt, which may be only the 3rd of my many, I will have to take MORE lessons to learn how to park without a pole, a lesson my dad is even capable of giving me for free, another few more lessons to familiarize myself with their new test routes and circuit, booking of new test date(s), extending my course and PDL.

Money, time. Is the license really worth that much now that I've already learned how to drive? Right now I am not going for driving lessons to LEARN how to drive, just going there so that I can take their test. I don't know how worth it is that anymore. I've spent way too much. Probably almost a thousand just on tests, revision lessonswhich some I've missed due to other commitment, extending my course and PDL to allow the above two to happen .

It is frustrating. And to Princess, putting my emotions only at the last paragraph can perhaps tell you that I've already rationalize my reasons to why I feel so bad about failing my test and even considering just taking the wheels without the license instead of just ranting like a pampered angry child for not having things to go my way.

Paper value. License is one.

Better each year

I've always wished that things get better day by day. Well, this year had been perfect. If there is another word more suitable than perfect, just smack it over with a cardboard with the word spammed all over.

Anyway, to entertain yourself while reading the entry, check this out :



Princess has been driving around the island, visiting my relatives, with my family. I hoped she felt as loved as I did, and as happy as Evangeline. And trust me, this Lunar New Year has been the best ever. Everybody loves her! And at times, I hope I can be equally popular among her family. So far, my presence has only been approved by Melina.

Okay, after sniffing 4 digits in my savings account (Thanks to her), I've made up my mind to not spend a single penny from this year's red packet,unless she wants something. ROAR.

Sunday, February 14, 2010

Valentine's

Lol, she surprised me this morning when she told me that she saved the purple dress I got for her just for today. Initially, I thought she didn't like it as she said that she wouldn't even step into the shop.

What a valentine surprise! =] ("v")

And Army kinda screwed my sleeping habits. I woke up at 9 odd and guess where am I now?

In Wiglington and Wenks!



Guess it has more Chinese New Year mood than I do.

Sunday, February 7, 2010

Expectations, expectations

Okay, here are some updates on some news.

Manchester United is currently top with Chelsea a point behind with one game in hand. Tonight the blues will face the gunners. Liverpool has returned to the celestial zone to join the other fabulous threes, to retain the classic big four status.

And to all Wiglington and Wenks fans, the servers are back up. www.wiglingtonandwenks.com . And yeap, you got it !

However, all these news seem to run beneath the shadows of the greatest news of all. The annihilation. The revival. More talk about than how many sunkist oranges are sold in a day!



We took a picture together once again! Lol. God knows how long has it been since we got both our faces trapped within a dozen of megapixels! And kids, don't try this unless you are at home. Taking photos in cars is dangerous to all road users, the driver and the passenger. And thats why, only try this when YOU ARE AT HOME

Anyway, I was the course IC last week. And some shit I've learnt about leadership. I saw, and somewhat, understood the true greatness of leadership. Versatile, different in style, yet the same result. If I am the manager of Manchester United, I will not be a dressing room, touch line manager, instead, I am player number twelve. So to SAF, too bad, go on training Hitlers. I won't be staying around for long, bitch.



This is just a show off. What is there to elaborate when it is all stated there in pictures? She loves me! LALALALALA

This weekend passed so quickly. I tried shisha, Turkish food, spent 9 hours with her, shopped alone while waiting for her to get ready. Phew.

Time waits for no man, but somehow when I am in camp, time creeps like a wicked sloth. Evil, is only enough to describe the food they serve.

Pick up

Today is the first time Princess picked me up from camp. And somehow, a little part of me feels proud of her being around.

Ego bastard =]

The Otah Man

I was on the way home early this morning and I was craving for OTAH! Next time my house will be something like teletubbie's , and on the green hills, I will have secret exit. So that when I step on my elevating panel, as soon as I near the surface, the ground will split and in of me there will be an OTAH STALL.

Hehehehehe.... Yes, I actually smiled when I typed the last line. Like, literally.

Anyway, the idol otah seller by the train station is one epic old man. The delicacy he sells is like a candle in world's darkness. It is so great, that if you serve his otahs in the "otah eating competition" , the count if the LOSER will hit about 7 digits before he gives up due to tummy rupture.

Did I just drool? Yes I did. And I have tissue with me. I came prepared.

Okay, apart from that hypnotizing fragrance that makes me patronize that little pit like a pre-programmaed robot, I was kinda reminded of my Dad's age.

He is 61 this year. And soon, from a realistic hindsight, his position as general manager will be replaced.

I may be useless at the moment as I am serving national service. I don't have the bulk liquidity at the moment for my folks to enjoy the next better half of their lives. Thus, I can't really expect them to rot, shit, eat, snore and rot again at home. And I thought to myself , " life can't lose its meaning ".

It is dumb to work as cleaners because they are really underpaid. Taxi drivers are obliged to verbal abuses from passengers because the passengers are eligibly regarded as their bosses. Thus, given my dad's creativity, I actually suggested that he can take up coffee art and start a mini cafe. Just the size of Spinelli, with classic coffee being served. The place can be a little stroll down memory lane as furniture will be bought from flee market and repainted. Haji Lane will be a good location! Given his creativity and my mother's experience as a waitress. TWO THUMBS UP!

=]

Anyway, allowance is coming on on 10th, CNY is on 14th. Setting aside 500 bucks and pampering myself with the rest don't seem that bad ! HEHE. And Princess, as well, is waiting for my allowance so that we can grow fat once again!

As observed, I put on the most weight mid month, and am the lightest when it reaches a new month.

The " Weeishhh" Week

Seriously, this whole week has been tiring. Somehow training intensity has escalated and I am not physically and mentally motivated. Doing this for? Free dog food? Trust me, other than the thrill of firing a god damn missile for a dosage of adrenaline, it is not worth it at all.

Or, otherwise. I can have my ice tray abs and knoll-like biceps! Right now I only have buns and ripples :(

Anyway, up for sales. Poor ass here needs some easy money. Not as quick as "whoreship" Open to regimental duties at 350 bucks per weekend. Up for grabs. Availability not set to stone. I don't speak to poor dopes. Show me the money, I show you my uniform. Taking the concept of mercenaries to a whole new level!

Somehow we feel like little kids again. She has her assignments, I have my theory tests. Perhaps tomorrow I shall try studying in a new position. Handstand, toe-nail acrobatics. In fact, one fine day I am going to have a "SQUARE HEAD" hairstyle. It is gonna be so squarish that from the top view, you wouldn't even be able to tell which direction am I facing!

Right, Princess and I have been talking about this nonsensical car boot sales for so long, I don't even remember what I want to sell anymore. I need a lazy, yet ironically motivated Sunday, to pack all my unwanted clothes into boxes and sell them at dirt cheap prices. Yes, as even cheaper than Chinese workers. All that is left unsold will be DONATED to the 3rd world country.

I am godlike =] And I.... got a feeling I will have migraines tomorrow.

X Japan



Cool isn't it? I used to think that this is epic but not anymore. Jayden and I have successfully mastered this song on the acoustic guitar. Lieutenant Foo left his guitar in our bunk for 3 hours and this is what we managed to pull off! And we weren't the only people who achieved. Danny Teo managed to get his "True Colors" and " Somewhere over the Rainbow" filmed down! He is our superstar, funny. Picture this. Chinese New Year. Danny Teo and Stefanie Sun together in China Town performing. Danny raise up his arms and fireworks sparkles start to burst like Michael Jackson's concert. And he turns around on this elevating platform singing, " you raise me up " by Josh Gorban.

Anyway, Princess and I signed a "anti-swear" pact. We can't swear , not even quote somebody. On a cold evening, we have our verbal agreement. Soul of pen and treaty, we vowed never to swear

And why!

Anyway, I got BIG BANG THEORY SEASON 1 AND 2. Oh 3, I am coming for you!

The Family

Lately, she has been joining my family stuff like meals, visiting etc. Though it takes some privacy away, somehow, I feel that it makes the family larger and happier. The warmth felt in my heart as we all laughed about something silly while cramping in a car or make fun of my parents over dining table is just awesome. And soon, we will be having Korean cuisine together!

Anyway, I just noticed that I have a follower to my blog! Hello-nerds taking over the world! Woohoo.

Speaking of taking over the world, check this out :

http://ilearntechnology.com/?p=1802

I know I've only been part of it for 7 odd months, but it just feels great seeing people talking about things like that.

It has been a long, draggy week. But I am glad to be home.

Mohawk signing in!

That is right! I am officially a MOHAWK! Not the skinhead Mohawk kind but the Beckham kind! Speaking of Beckham, Manchester United drew Birmingham last night.

Anyway, something to share. If you wanna make a silly online gift but lack the skills and creativity but full of sincerity (somehow), here is something for you to consider.



JibJab

Anyway, I've never really been a hardcore fan of Korean cuisine. So as fucking noob I was, I don't know what the fuck was "Korean Mixed Rice" till yesterday. Princess and I went Korean and the next time we are having Korean, I will drag my family along!

That is provided I get to book out, provided I pass my tests.

Alrite, Princess just burnt her finger while attempting to light a match sticks. Lately she has attained the level 12 skills of getting into all sorts of accident. So, time and time again, I've reminded her to take care, and watch out. Hope she heeds my advice.

So in case anybody here is suffering from burns too :

Treatment of Minor Burns and Scalds

DO NOT use adhesive dressings.

DO NOT break blisters, or interfere with the injured area.

DO NOT apply lotions, ointments, creams, or fats to the injured area.

* Cool the injured part with copious amounts of cold water for about 10 minutes to stop the burning and relieve the pain. If water is unavailable, any cold, harmless liquid such as milk or canned drinks will suffice.
* Gently remove any jewellery, watches, or constricting clothing from the injured area before it starts to swell.
* Cover the injury with a sterile dressing, or any clean, non-fluffy material to protect from infection. A clean plastic bag or kitchen film may be used.

Okay, I seriously need to start saving up. Been on impulsive shopping trip yesterday. And I will ban myself from spending anymore! Not till February! I don't fucking care! ROAR!

Unless she wants something, that is. And on Wednesday, I am gonna "de-virginize" my new bag. TEEHEE!

Scrabble Legend

From Udders Ice-Cream to Facebook, we got ourself hooked in a game of Scrabble!



She completed her tiles while I have a fucking "Q" left on the emo bench.

Starbucks Leech

I am currently stationed at Starbucks , leeching on their wireless network and power point for both work and leisure. Doing notes for Air Defence Knowledge is a mother fucking pain in my testicles. I haven't been studying theories for ages I don't even know what is the most effective way to study anymore. Fuck.

Anway, 1st day of 2010 started with a blast. She dropped by for lunch with my family as we spent a whopping 300 odd bucks! Her rides are more enjoyable now given her new found confidence. My sister even dozed off as she cruised through the highways !

And I am going to mug again tomorrow, accompanied by her self-prepared Honey Lemon Lime ("v"). She emphasized on the sincerity involved in balancing the syrup to water ratio and that I should show maximum appreciation by gulping to the very last drop , even the stains on the bottle. AND YES I WILL! YUM!

Okay, she is addicted to blog stalking. When everybody is "hibernating" in the online well, she will creep to Google and like Rikimaru , catches ! And if there is anybody who has hobbies like hers and manage to land yourself here, HELLO! And yes, I am jealous of her tracking skills. It is so fun being able to randomly find out about somebody just by feeling lucky and keying in some keywords.

Right now, at this moment, I feel awfully broke. I know I don't earn much, and have never really earned a fortune. But, seriously, life will be so much better if I just make those extra pennies. I am kinda sick of saving up with so little I have.

RAWRR

Hello 2010 overated!

Only kids make new year resolutions. Epic grown ups like me already have an idea what to achieve ALL along even before 31st December. It is all about keeping on track man.

Twatheads

Anyway, Princess is coming over for lunch! AHHHHH! " Moshi moshi, Ai sushi kudasai~ "

Meanwhile I am going to slay the Drake of ADK and Hydrqa of AR.

But first, I gotta stop sneezing! Zzz.

Happy nude year to all. GET NAKED!

Do something dumb today please. Like going to Zouk and saying, " Salt rim. Green tea please " , follow by doing some locking and popping. Weehee.

And yeap, Happy 28th wedding anniversary to MOM AND DAD! =]
