damn shiok,
i'm $400 richer,
but too bad,
toto ticket line too long,
if not,
i think i will huat big big

ya,
so i just blogged,
cause i felt like telling everyone
i'm a richbastard,

you know,
sometimes we walk the tough road,
but at the end of every stretch of difficulty,
and we see this rainbow,
so we smile and think to ourselves,
yea, i was quite childish last time,
i learnt a lesson from it lesson,
hope whoever needs it,
draws strength from this,
cause since good things don't last,
neither would the bad.

after lunch today,
walked around my workplace with oink see yong,
and we happened to stumble upon my building,
with a jap restaurant,
and guess what,
we'r going there on mon!
WOOHOO!
but first, for the weekends!

3 HOT BUSINESS WOMEN

2007-02-26T21:47:00.000+08:00

ROLLING STARZZZ
omg,
i can't believe my luck today,
i saw 3 darn hot business women today
at work

okay the first was at bloomberg class
i won't say she smiled at me
but she smiled at me and my friend
thats the first

next, was at raffles place
wa lao eh,
andrea chow please
someone save me,
she's so gorgeous.
eh come on,
i wonder who still watches diana ser or suzanne jung

lastly, the mrt train back home,
she had this mole,
but but but, it looked good on her
okay this is the best,
well i thought she was the best,

looks like after 3 weeks of work,
i'm beginning to experience what working guys experience,
the working women fetish,
i'm under a spell

nevertheless,
now i know why mama told me i won't marry until i'm officially working,
or maybe not find a girlfriend until i'm working,
she's got good foresight,
thats all i can say.

the beginning

2007-02-12T21:54:00.000+08:00

what a day it was,
the very first day of work,
i just realized that,
everyone rushes to work together,
rushes for lunch collectively,
and pack their bags just about the same time as i do,
what a family,
we singaporeans are.

so 1st day of work left me staring at the com from 9 - 6,
work starts at 8.30 from tomorrow onwards, till 6 that is.
sadly, wed and thurs are OT time days,
not paid for it though.

The people over there are really nice,
no air, just plain humbleness & sincerity,
maybe that's just superficially,
who knows,
it is only the first day at work.

so we've got a gym on the 39th floor,
pool and billard tables on the same floor,
with a free drink dispensing machine,
and not forgetting,
the great view of singapore's skyscrappers.

its going to be a long 9 weeks,
i just can't wait for the weekends to arrive.

say "hi" to kaichuan lol

lets get ready to rumble... wait work i mean

2007-02-11T22:34:00.000+08:00

3 days passes pretty darn fast,
another 9 weeks of hell awaits each of us,
well but at least everyone got good placements,
thats banking and finance for you,

lets see,
starbucks and mocha tall,
pastamania,
sweet secrets,
sakae sushi,
i feel like my pocket is burning a hole,
and it will probably fit the size of my head,
thats quite sad,
cause mama say new year cannot have holes.

i really do hope i can view the skyscrapers from my workplace,
lets just hope its first class view,
so tomorrow starts a entire era,
the unofficial beginning of what we will be doing in future,
all for the sake of capital M-O-N-E-Y,
goodbye to you honey,
lets get ready for work then.

"we often take life for granted, assuming that we have everything and assuming that we wont lose anything. whenever i tucked myself into bed with the blanket comfortably protecting me from the cold wind, i say in my mind 'thank you for letting me sleep comfortably, i appreciate it'. because i don know what might happen tomorrow and life is just unpredictable"

what strong words from a friend of mine but it serves to remind me to be thankful. you should too!

i'll be back once the dreaded papers are over.

anyway i think my ass is gonna split soon after coming out of the toilet the 4th time today. ouch!

2006 - The Best Year in My Life (THUS FAR)

2006-12-31T18:02:00.000+08:00

WARNING!
VIEWER TOLERANCE IS ADVISED!

Its going to be a very long post, my friends,
i know how common place reflections are,
especially if you happen to click on my links,
and the links of the people on my friends links,
this is probably boring stuff,
but this year,
i seem to have that extra motivation to let loose my thoughts,
EH, I TELL YOU, NOT BORING WANT OKAY!

2006 has been an eventful year to me, filled with bittersweet moments,
where i got to expose myself more to the world, parts where probably people will never want to travel to or never will get the chance to travel to,
and where i got to experience heartbreak for the 2nd time in my YOUTHFUL life.
Nevertheless, i got to really know more nice people, which really adds on to the list,
like stay really healthy, something i'm so thankful of,
and just enjoy 2006 for the year that it was.

I don't expect myself to remember every single moment that has happened in this year,
but somehow, i feel, reflecting upon this, i've grown alot in many ways, most significantly as a person, someone who now knows what i finally want to achieve in this life of mine, or rather what i wish i can do in this life. I remember the day where she broke my heart, things got really messed up, but after months, i finally see the light, the decision was right, and definitely, the man above knows what he is doing with my life and i know that the lesson learnt was a valuable one. For that, if this didn't happened, trust me, i would probably still be fickleminded over dating a girl (not like i've dated one ever since) and would still be taking a relationship for granted and procastinating over decisions to be made. Most importantly, i wouldn't have found out what kind of a guy i was or the kind of relationship i was pursuing, and the amount of friends - COMRADES, i had with me to do battle. My most sincere appreciation. Your service has been recognized! Nevertheless, i should heed my friend's advice and stop being mean by saying hi next time.

Moving on, i never thought my trip to myanmar would have suchhhh a significant impact in my life. It was a totally different experience from that of thailand. Seriously, i was even contemplating the decision over that of the U.S Trip so much that i wanted to back off. But after seeing those smiles shining upon the orphan's faces with the little things that our group had managed to accomplish, i kinda had a smirk on mine too. LOL. A life as simple as theirs, no parents, no computer, no car, no proper education, no proper sanitation or food and they still can live life to its fullest. DAMN IMBA i tell you!! When i returned, i became more appreciative of the things and people around me, esspecially my family. Guess myanmar wasn't too bad after all.

Europe was a whole lot different (like duh), much more relaxing and the feeling was pretty surreal when i stepped foot into frankfurt. Germany wasn't really exciting, it was pretty much the black and white tv screen they had in the olden days. Kinda boring. However, the scenery is just simply breathtaking. TOO COLD TO HANDLE LA. Ahhh! Yes, Netherlands was very nice, 1 of the nicest i would say. You get to wander around amsterdam in the cold winter in the RED LIGHT DISTRICT, wa lao eh, they perform erotic acts like for free, but you can only see, not touch. How sad! In addition, i believe many of you would also know that the Netherlands are famous for their windmills and well, their cheese too! Just for your knowledge, holland is a province within the netherlands, thus never call the country, holland, cause the dutch will somewhat feel offended, for i don't know what fucking reason. I did travel to belgium too, brugge and brussels to be precise. Enjoyed it obviously. Oh yess, remember people, some of you will receive chocolates from brugge, so enjoy every single bite, cause at the end of it, i can only say "AWWW~ You finished yours, so sad". And after that came PARIS, I swear i felt like a champion over there, i got to visit amazing places like the louvre museum, the stupid dome shaped court and the all so common eiffel tower, i even managed to travel on the METRO (MRT, French Style), grab some french local cusine, eat some wrisps, and just walk around paris with my dad's friend son (who was much younger than me btw), while the others were shopping. YOU KNOW WHAT, i will be back in paris for my honeymoon and be 1 of many lovey dopey couples kissing on the bridge or along the benches beside the river. Its god-darn PRETTY!! Especially at night. Last up was Switzerland, of which, i only enjoyed the rhinefall and most certainly mount pilatus where the freaking snow was falling like i wish it was money! Oh yes, ate at marche and movenpick where prices were rocket high. I enjoyed myself terribly much, will upload the photos soon. For your pleasure.

so so so, how can you end the year, without new plans, here are mine, what are yours. darn, sounds gay.

2007 RESOLUTIONS
(1) the 1st as always is the same, trying as hard as ever
(2) improve my guitar (there never will come a time where i will stop, so expect to see this up a few more years)
(3) get like really fit and trained (cause ppl want me to slim down what, what can i do)
(4) 8 pull ups (for army purposes)
(5) a new hairdo (probably like the one where i wanted to be botak, with nice beard around the mouth)
(6) stay healthy
(7) make new and nice friends
(8) manchester utd to trimph over mother fuckers chelsea.

the others would probably be rubbish, i will never complete or fulfill them. *peace*

so i thank you ladies and gentlemen, you have been a wonderful audience, leave now while i wish you a rocker blaster new year. I anticipate 2007 and lets see what the it has installed for us all. happy holidays and enjoy whatever time you have left while reflecting upon 2006 cause 2006 for me has honestly, been the best year of my life thus far.

GOODBYE SINGAPORE, HELLO EUROPE

what a week

2006-11-17T21:56:00.000+08:00

MST ended yesterday,
oh how dreadful it has been,
i don't know how many a's are possible
but definitely not CRAA.
i hope i do well enough to get into SMU though
oh and i just realized how many marks i lost for business law

(1) there was fax and acceptance was possible but i didn't see that fax was a fact actually - 2 marks
(2) district court - $60,000 - $250,000 for claim charges, why the hell did i even put magistrate court - 1 mark
(3) promisory estopel - i thought it happen to be business and commercial agreement - 4 marks

so i lost like a grand total of 7 marks, of which we ought to multiply by 2.5 since the test was upon 40, so goodbye to 17.5 marks, and virtually my A due to carelessness. Darn

so i got myself a 2nd guitar today and forfeited the opportunity for soccer,
apparently my first has been giving me lots of problems lately,
especially with the floyd rose tremelo floating system,
i never seem to be able to make the system float,
all the more i believe the E string sadle broke,
which thus amounted to a tremendous waste of time in the changing of strings.
and yes, SWEE LEE SUCKS, don't ever get anything from there (instruments).
cause they are big time turn offs and all they do is try to do is get the most money out of your pocket.

so at last, i can play after like 2 weeks,
which seriously is like heaven,
cause i badly want to improve,
so here's a glimpse

and anyway! I'M OFF TO EUROPE IN 23 DAYS.
yes! i can't wait
i'll bring nice stuff back for nice people,
so if your one,
thank your lucky stars.

indians & their hair

2006-11-06T16:00:00.000+08:00

recently, i've been travelling alot on buses
usually back home that is,
suddenly, something began to puzzle me,
you know,
foreign workers,
like bangalas,
i wonder,
what do they use to keep their hair so flat and straight,
do they actually use

(a) coconut oil
(b) egg yolk
(c) ghee
(d) butter

please enlighten me if you know the answer. lol

this test happens to be so true, every single aspect,
http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean

guess only those who know me well enough will realize that.

but, i just can't help it
LOVERS IN PRAGUE,

i can never understand the logic of travelling to & flo

& projects are a killer,
even e-learning week is going to be just as hectic
but nevertheless,
this term has been fun.

tomorrow's talentime,
11:59,
is going to outperfom the malay punk bands,
you see all they do is just scream,
will anyone vote for them i wonder,
a song,

believe me.
see you guys at the auditorium,
remember to vote!
