The Kingdom - Awsome movie

An elite FBI team sent to find a killer in a hostile country more
A team of U.S. government agents is sent to investigate the bombing of an American facility in the Middle East. Info from imdb.com

Whau, very thrilling movie that catches every moment of your attention.. From the killing of innocent lives to the planning of suicide bombings.. And the expertise of the americans investigating how the bombings were planned and what kind of equipment they use. The shooting scenes were the best.. The Saudis dressed perfectly like terrorists... Its like playing a game of counterstrike...

You guys have to watch this show..

What is your Christmas Wish?

Its been a wonderful christmas eve tonight. I first had dinner with Zhou Liang and talked about many interesting things.. It was a great dinner at Pizza's hut, though i had to travel such a distance to eat a dinner lol..

After dinner, had to rush down to dinner with Jessica, Sam, Janalle & Eve and Mark for supper at Missy Clarity, sound kind of quiet emo restaurant with this slow moving music. The food was great.. Janalle intro me all the food, serve me drink... She makes a good waitress... Didn't know eve had such a powerful appitite..

Welcome Jessica back to her old job... reminds me of the old times at apicentre...

Everyone's new year wish is for world peace but my wish is for everyone to be more enjoying and adventurous this new year..

Back to Fishing again

Nice weather, with some scorching sun shining down our asses as we walked towards the end of the canal. Qifeng was getting pretty pumped up for fishing and we decided to go fishing on this sunny day..

I also called Betrand And Jy... Poor guys, have to walk all the way from smb mrt to the end of the canal.. But it was worth the fun right, guys.. At least jun got the beginners luck by catching 2 small fishes...





Qifeng getting serious about fishing..



Betrand as usual, trying to blame people about something.. lol..



Some fearsome cast by ratty Betrand, not bad for a beginner... This guy's got talent



Put on the baits, we are going fishing!!!

Xiang Qi in Poly

We used to bring xiangqi boards to secondary school to play. But now that we are in poly, we don't use any xiangqi boards anymore. We play through a program on the computer. I tried it with Lionel online but couldn't connect and we decide to try in school.. It was successful but we were in the middle of accounting tutorial and we played halfway and class ended so we had to move our laptops to another place to play.
So when we started opening up our laptops again, Lionel got disconnected and shit, the our game just stopped there. But since it was an interesting match, i couldn't let it end. So i decided to use photoshop to continue the game.
On top is the picture that shows how i use photoshop to play XiangQi.. I bet no one tried that before..

Here comes the rainy season

When it comes the rainy season, the slacking attitude follows.. It will rain the whole day and all you can do is sit back at home, relaxed, and facing the computer screen. You can either play games or watch a movie. There's nothing more to do on rainy days. You can't play soccer in the hot sun or rollerbade at east coast, just stay at home to slack.

Now the season comes, i feel all so relaxed all of a sudden. And it seems that i cannot stop worrying about when there is a deadline to something. All because i am so busy throughout the year and now things suddenly get lesser and you don't know what to do.

It was fun to play counterstrike with my cousins today. Its boring playing alone but its fun playing as a team. Lots of teamwork involve, and there was a lot of enjoyment. I love to play like this once in a while.

Before i sleep, i hope to shiver with the cold and cover myself with a warm cozy blanket. Rainy seasons come once in a year, so don't forget to enjoy it..
Good night!

Its been a long time

I haven blogged for a long time.. Probably because i am too lazy to think of what to write for the day.. Its been a sick day for me today.

Ate fried eggs and drink prune juice in the morning, and later in the afternoon felt like vormitting.. But it just holds for a long time inside my stomach, like a time bomb waiting to explode.

Then later when it started, i ran to the toilet, and the whole thing was forcing out of my mouth. My head filled with pressure as the waste flew out cycle by cycle, until my eyes turned fiery red. Tears started to trickle down till the whole process stopped. I was relieved..

I got fedup with my boss

This boss is using me for his own benefit. Everytime customer walks into the shop to look at the mac computers, he will just tell the customer to look for leslie, "the mac expert". Whatever la, i don't intend to have the limelight or whatever, i just hope to satisfy the needs of the customers. Why impress them just to get them to buy mac computers. He sold one mac computer in front of me and didn't give me any commission, using my knowledge like a tool to his goal.. If someone's sole purpose is only to earn money but not help others to get what they want, they don't deserve the rights to my capabilities. If you still want me boss, you better change your bloody attitude..!

Anyway, while i was reading the digg news, i came across this news about singapore's mda rap....
After watching it, i feel embarrassed about being in singapore.. haha but this video was a classic though...

Finally a rest day

After this god damn busy weeks of tests and stupid assignments, sunday is the best day to rest..

May i quit?

I've asked myself this question many times this week. Its no longer about enjoying what you do, but rather filled with worries and anxieties. I thought about quitting poly for an instance when i feel sick about the way people handle stress. So many things in my mind but so little things to say. They just pile up in me that i am hardly able to speak a word about it.

I just thought about taking this big risk quitting my poly, but to be frank, i am not gutsy enough to do that. If it weren't about the money, i would quit this poly.

Sometimes i feel that lecturers should start thinking about how they convey their message across to students. It seems that they impose the wrong ideas on students.
I still remember what this selfish lecturer said.. "Leaders ought to get things done, who cares about offending others. If they bother about offending others, then no job is done."

He is actually telling leaders to take the short cut and ignore how others feel, as long as things get done. Well, not that i disagree with this way of doing things, but more trouble will arise eventually. Whats the point of solving a problem but ending up with problems!
Anyway, just to wish my poly days quickly end. I have no desire to continue this stressful lifestyle, and i don't think any of us enjoys that.

Recently i found this really nice picture on the net. Seems like a photographer was at the right time taking the perfect shot..

Forrest Gump - My greatest inspiration

Dreams

Dreams are the most mysterious event that ever happen. Happy moments, sad moments and frightening moments happen within the would of dreams. And in the moment of seconds, you woked up and the dream is gone.

This is the dream that i cannot forget. Its been an adventurous one:

Everyone around was sniping each other with their snipers. I was glad to be alive, but didn't have a rifle. I looked around for something, and when someone got shot and i quickly rush to pick up the sniper rifle and begin hiding in the bushes, camouflaging. I looked into my scope to aim at the enemy like in the movie "Shooter", right in the head. I pulled my trigger but the bullet missed its target. The enemy got up and was about to caught me in the bushes and just then, i woke up..

My head was dizzling. It was like watching a movie.

I don't really blog a lot unlike some of my friends. They blogged almost everyday, and always have so much things to write. As for me, its a hassle to think of what to write everyday. So i don't usually update my blog unless i have the free time or when i have something to share with people.

This is how i earn money online:




Some interesting articles i found on the web:

Travelling the world online

Wow, this is the first time i am able to view the whole world with my own eyes. Introducing Google earth.. Its fascinating when you can look at the world with this software. Its how satellite on top are able to view over the entire earth, but this one has got pictures on various places.

I zoomed into Italy, rome and they showed me the various places on the blue dots. And when i clicked those places, there will be a picture of how the place looks like.

Its like travelling around the world online..

Whole day of soccer

I hadn't played soccer for a couple of months. Today is the day i refresh my soccer skills at my school's hockey pitch. The weather was slightly cloudy and the ground was wet. What a perfect time to do sliding tackles.

But seriously, i played like shit today. Long seng passed me a nice ball and barely touched it before it went out. He gave me a sacastic comment, "Nice one leslie".. Lol

It was frustrating when i kept losing the ball la.. After playing for a while, it was damn exhausting that i told Darren, "After mia in soccer for so long, we get punche faster"... Seriously, i feel like an old man playing soccer.

I install Ubuntu

I installed Ubuntu in my school lab the other day. I was in lab today. Looked opposite and i saw that Ubuntu splash screen on the LCD. Its time the students get to try out linux, the new operating system that is virus free and more stable than windows.

My diploma is at stake when i did something like this, i was helpless curious and couldn't stop myself from doing it. I wiped out the whole system data and installed Ubuntu..

Its time for the students of NYP to try out Ubuntu

Beautiful Dream

There is just something about this speakers. "JBL Creature II" is an mysterious speaker that produces a different sound from other normal speakers.

Just now when i was having a nap, i plugged in my mp3 into this pair of speakers. And when you hear certain songs, it produces some kind of a sweet melodiuos clashing sound that is very pleasant to the ears. Even though i was sleeping, the music was so sweet that i start to enter a different world, while building blocks of gems in my head. And when i woke up, i feel very refreshed after hearing to that melodious clashing sound. It was a wonderful lullaby.

Burn all your money

I walked into Kinokuniya in Bugis and i stumble across an interesting book. The cover was plain. Just a young guy, same age as me sitting on top of a broken down bus with his hiking equipments, staring blankly at the sky and said, " I donated $25,000 of my money to charity, burn all my cash in my wallet and hitchhike to Alaska to enter the woods. "

This guy is willing to sacrifice every single possession of his, but his intentions were not made clear of. What is he trying to do? After a journalist found his bones near the woods, he decided to write a full-fledged article on him.. Some say this arrogant guy is trying to attract attention, some say that he touched them with his determination to live a life different from everyone..

What about you leslie?.. Me? i would never had burned away my money.. No way, why throw away all the hard work. Using money to work for me is what i intend to do. Living a life different from others is glorious, but i ain't someone like him. But i find him the most interesting being on earth..

But i wonder will any of my friend be like him?? hmmm.....

Help people and receive help in return

Do people seek help all the time? The answer is yes. People do seek help all the time. Help them and receive help in return..

Ever heard of the Lion and the rat story.. The lion caught the rat because he was hungry, the rat pleaded him to release him. It was a hard decision. The lion was hungry, and thought, "How could this small tiny little feather help me when i am in trouble?" The lion was relunctant, but in the end he released the rat.
Then one day, a hunter came and shoot a huge net over the lion while he was asleep.. The rat saw and he brought along his friends to bit away the net...
This is how the lion was saved

You never know when you are going to need someone's help no matter how helpless he or she is..
So next time if someone ever come to help, please don't say no..

Things won't go the way you say it

During the beginning of World war 2, many countries urged the United States to join in the war for the alliances againest the Axis.

However, the never wanted to be involve in the war. The claim they want no involvement in conflict.
Things won't go the way the want it to be. Morning of December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese airplanes bombed pearl harbour with the intention to bring America to war. Taking them by surprise, the Americans were unprepared and defenseless againest this attack.

In reality, when you say you don't want to do something, doesn't really means you won't do it. Or you don't want something to happen.

The most probability that things will happen is when you don't expect them to happen. What a wierd world it is.

The Little Things

Recently, i get to read a very interesting psychology book called "The Tipping Point". The interesting wonders of how small things can cause big changes and great influences. The tipping point shows us how trends are started the the powerful marketing using the word of mouth.

The first type of person i am most interested are Connectors. They are the people that connects people together and they are extremely sociable with the mass amounts of contacts they keep. They don't mind having lots of friends, though the ties aren't very strong.

Surveys were made on how people look for jobs through their friends, buddies and found out that most of the people find their jobs through friends which have weak ties. People that they are not close to.

This shows the power of weak ties, though the people may not see the things you do within your circle, and thus are able to find a certain way to connect with one another. Weak ties, seemed like a very small issue can however be a very useful way to find opportunities.

Anyway yesterday was my class's xiaoZhu's birthday... Happy birthday to you..

Bad day

What a bad day today.. Was suppose to meet up a customer from yahoo to sell a shoe. I rushed all the way from city hall to Raffles, and after trying, she said that she coudln't wear and rushed off in an instant. I gad to bring the shoes back to city hall.. It's tough luck

Have you ever wondered why you always have bad days and no good days?

Always rushing to work or help a friend in need and doing things for other people without any pay back.. And not being able to enjoy your own hobby.. Everytime things crop up just to give you even more trouble.. You just seem to be full of troubles of your own..

Nobody helps you out when you are in need.. You help others when they are in need.. Its a helpless world..

First Tuition

Recently, i got to know of a website that provides jobs for students in singapore. www.jobscentral.com.sg

I went there in search for jobs and there were endless list of em.. After that, i came across a tuition job that seem interesting and so i went to gave the person a call..
I successfully got an assignment and today was my first day teaching tuition..
You know it is a bit scary when it was your first time teaching tuition.. You will start wondering, will this guy pass better or worst after me teaching.. I don't even know whether i am qualified enough to teach, though i know about the topics well..

Well, it was a great experience.. but is not something that i enjoy, rather i fear it..
haha if this guy fails in his exam, maybe its time i change job..


Btw, i found this website from ESlim:www.speedtest.net
It is a website to test the speed of your service provider. My speed is base on starhub..
Enjoy!!

Second was teck woon..
We practiced slalom, and joined the competition together as Zigzagueur...
