31 Jan 2010, Sunday

Hihi!! Good thing i still managed to post before January is out and away. It sounds tragic to have the first post of the year anytime outside of January, well, feels tragic to me anyway~
So, lucky i remembered to be back!! ;)

Ok as y'all already know (and complained), my posts stopped for what, 3 months? Yea yea it's not that i've nothing to write, but i just got so immersed in the heat of everything that i, well, didn't think of writing. Umm~ no, that's not an excuse. To those following my blog, i have 2 words for you; 1. Sorry. 2. *sheepishly* Hehe. Ok, technically 3.

Nov 2009
Well... Now, as far as i can remember, i spent Nov 2009 getting engrossed in a few things. First of which was Vincent Van Gogh and the song written after him.

Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853–29 July 1890) was a Dutch
Post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th
century art for its vivid colors and emotional impact. He suffered from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life, and died largely unknown, at the age of 37, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Little appreciated during his lifetime, his fame grew in the years after his death. Today, he is widely regarded as one of history's greatest painters and an important contributor to the foundations of modern art.

*Rolls Eyes at those wondering* Ok, it wasn't because of paintings, alright? I only noticed this person's life because of this fantastic song "Vincent" written by Don Mclean. If you'd bother to notice, the song elaborates everything from the name of Vincent's paintings, the circumstances he'd been through, and the how and why his life ended the way it did.

Oh my GOD i actually elaborated on this. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Definitely Nerdy.

Of course, early-mid Nov was the time where i was supposed to be studying studying studying for exams and nothing else. I wonder why and what the hell now, that i was researching into all that stuff at such a crucial period. And i can actually recall having fun chit-chatting during revisions rather than stress. Damn. No wonder i had to settle for lesser results. Of course, i also had my mind full on my sweet not-fated-de-dream-lover. For all the fuss over her, i actually managed to fluff every single little chance to talk to her, last of which was helped by Xiaohei's tactical position and of course, helpfulness. As i say, not fated. Xiaohei u owe me one. hor. ArHahaaa :D

Mmmm~ Such a pity.

Hey guys/gals, if y'all happen to know any really cute gal by the name of Lee Sze Ying, pls intro her to me, ok????? I think that's my dreamlover~ Lolz :p

Post-Exams-alamaktar - A syndrome where one suffers from much anxiety, desperation, hair-pulling, regret and alamak and pray and alamak, alamak and alamak after exams.
Ok, i made that up, grrrr~ I don't know about the rest of you, but Yours Monkeyly definitely suffered from P.E.Alamaktar first thing after each exam paper this sem. Main reason was, i actually managed to definitely flunk one 25mark question for each paper. Of course that doesn't affect the post-exam celebrations at cineleisure with Xiaohei, Joey and Janet - my mind was full with distraught from the latest missed-chance-encounter with cutey dreamlover-who-continue-to-stay-no-more-than-in-dreams Sze Ying. We watched 2012 and i thought it was fantastic, despite a few magazine reviews to the contrary. And then while we was having dinner at Xing Wang cafe (i saw Stephanie, Jennifer and their friend there on their gal outing!), Kuang called and i had to reject his invitation to go drinking with his colleagues because I already had my post exam late night friday soccer celebration session scheduled (I overheard him saying "Oh!! one handsome down" to the dismayed cries of gals in the background when he thought wrongly that i'd hung up the phone). *Back to Singlish mode*Oooi, next time want to intro me gals, say early lah~~ Hahaaa ;)

Ok, so exams came and went with Nov, and when it was over finally here was my favourite Dec! The month full of fun and happiness and having too much time on my hands due to no school after work.

Read quite a number of books, didn't I? Must've been more than 10 at least, i think. Finally managed to find "Outcast" and "Oathbreaker" from Michelle Paver's Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series. And there was that book related to Merlin, can't remember what it was. And then there were a couple more books from the library plus i bought the whole series of Cecilia Ahern's books and the House of Night series by P.C Cast + Krsitin Cast.

Ohhh of course, breaking out of the nerdshell, there were the Bday celebrations and gifts and about 3 fun flight/base/squadron events and NPS chalet and X'mas!! Awww~ where to start? *Exhausted after long post* Next post, i think! To be continued!! ;)

12 Oct 2009, Monday

I saw this video quite some time back and told myself i absolutely have to share this, but apparently i'd been absent from my blog for too long before my previous little rants of the past few days. Luckily somebody reposted it on facebook which reminded me. It's really hilarious and it explains some things men do that women don't understand, and the reason why men provide help or advice rather than just sit back and listen. Funny! :)

I love the nothing box!! :)

"Proof" of my OCPDness?

2009-10-11T22:00:00.006+08:00

11 Oct 2009, Sunday

This was the mail sent to my groupmates as the vent of my frustrations at that time. I actually wrote this after receiving a msg from the Always-D-grade-but-not-humble-enough-to-accept-others'-input groupmate. I think it's actually quite entertaining, if you're not on the receiving end of it, hahaa

------------------------------------------------
Hi fellas, As texted to CM, i will not be much involved in the remaining Q3d after that day's discussion on 3a, b and parts of c.

However, I would like to provide these little pieces of advice in case you don't already know them. Pls take it from a constructive point of view, not personally like the other time round.

1. Copy pasted work will not win you many marks, plagiarism rate will flag out high and, i won't say all, but certainly some or many lecturers do take these stuff rather badly. It shows lack of effort that gives the perception of little consideration before putting in the contents.

2. I have tried each time to put on a mask of anonymity for the company name, for your own sake. Each time, it seems to be rejected and i do not understand why, despite having provided proof in one of my previous mails from lecturers that it is not fucking necessary to put in a company name.

3. Word count are just guidelines? Maybe for some lecturers, but not all. For example, the lecturer in the class T613 is the type who has specifically mentioned she will deduct marks for overshooting word count. Given that our very own lecturer is relatively new and he follows the slides so closely during his lectures, do you think he will treat it as "just a guideline"? Think again.

4. Pls don't take everything or indeed anything as "already understood by lecturers". There IS a reason why we're fucking students. We are supposed to show that we understand these stuff in our work. Otherwise, might as well hand in a blank piece of work? Don't you think lecturers already know just about everything in the TMA?

5. It's the subtle differences that separates one grade from the next. Perhaps every single individual thing i mentioned will seem trifle or matters little to one or more of you, but they do add up, next thing you know, you've shifted from one grade to the next, then to the next, and to the next again. Sounds familiar?

Thus far, you guys might think i've been "difficult to work with". If that is the case, i apologise for offending in any way. However, i wish to highlight that i only wanted the best for the 3 of us. Sometimes when you guys have certain views that contradicts my own, i might argue my points, but ultimately when you guys manage to convince me, i do alter the answers to the point of our discussion. Each time i put in an input, it is because i think it is an improvement to what was already done. And i emphasize the point that in the case of 3a and 3b, i did not OVERHAUL the fucking answers. I merely made small little tweaks here and there which i deemed necessary. It would all have been very well if you guys were able to provide satisfying relevant reasons for not using them, but that day, i heard nothing except stuff like "looks the same, so use mine lor", "aiyah, wordcount is just a guideline", "you dun understand, doesn't mean lecturer don't understand". There you go, nothing constructive whatsoever.

Lastly, i agree with Eric that grades are not everything, not everyone is good at what they do. I have never needed my groupmates to be damn good, and i always respect each individual's work, but i hate it when ppl are not humble enough to accept it if and when ppl tell them their work is not good enough in some ways, not to mention rejecting inputs from others without good reason. I also hate being taken for a ride, and i hate knowing that the efforts i put in for us were rejected without good reason but merely with nothing except scorn and with much spite. Pls know that everything i put in, i am merely striving to improve whatever good work we already have, for us. Unlike, perhaps some ppl are thinking, it has nvr been for the pleasure of trying to feel superior to others or to show that i'm good or what. FYI, i do not think i'm good enough, but i DO take pride in what i do, and i do them in the name of good honour and responsibility towards everyone of us. I believe i have explained myself satisfactorily.

Lastly, i wish to reiterate that i have decided to be obedient and bear no intentions whatsoever of standing in the way of Chee Ming who has always expressedly shown an extraordinary inerest in completing Q3 by himself. I only ask that you guys look into the advice i have given and give them a little consideration.

Good day to you all.

Your fucking obedient soldier
Yow Heng
-----------------------------------------------

Maybe somebody can help me by commenting whether i was displaying OCPD symtoms in this email? But on the other hand, how can anyone ever be efficient without having some degree of OCPD symptoms? Hahaa =p And how come i didn't display any of these when i was doing work with ppl like Joey, Jan, Xiaohei, etc? If i'm suffering from OCPD, it should apply to all and not only to certain ppl right???

Something about me that's... Part2 (removed)

Something about me that......

10 Oct 2009, Saturday

Something's definitely wrong with me. For some reason i haven't yet been able to identify, i seem to be getting on people's nerves recently.

Just last week, i had this conflict with one of my groupmates that explains my msn comment at that time. It also led to me writing a rather rude email with certain expletives. I was really irritated because one of them actually copied pasted something directly from a website as an answer to one of our assignment questions, and then when i tried to help by paraphrasing slightly and cutting down on the word count, i actually get rude retorts from the bugger. I'd understand if proper reasons were given for rejecting my share of input, and i didn't even OVERHAUL his answers, it was just little tweaks here and there.

And then yesterday, a good friend of mine actually had an indirect go at me. I'm not sure, but i seem to get the idea that i've irritated him recently him through some fault of mine that i haven't yet identified. *shrugs* I've decided let that pass though, we're friends, after all, so i'll take it lying down for once.

This also gets me thinking about the little incident between fishy and me earlier this year. Something's definitely very wrong with me. Perhaps i'm too sensible for my own good, so much so that i impose my thoughts on others, which they don't like?

*Sigh* It's terrible when goodwill somehow finds its way to become a source of irritation for others.

Good thing is, i'm a terribly optimistic person, so i'm going to forget about all this pretty quickly. Attending a wedding dinner later!! *Sigh* Another nice gal going down the aisle... *chuckles*

Speaking of weddings, i love this wedding proposal!! :)

How cool is that!! Damn nice!!! :)

Super funny and cute first heartbreak

It's 2am+ and I gotta wake up early later for work, but I really really have to share this!!
Damn super funny!!! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!!

I think the video editor really had a good sense of humour to add Zigeunerweisen after the point of rejection and silence ... And the poor kid was wailing "Why!? Why!!?" in Jap after that!
(which explains the "wei xia mi" floating down the video) HAHAHAHAHAA!!!
What drama! :)

Not Emo-ing but loving emo songs :)

2009-09-12T00:01:00.006+08:00

12 Sep 2009, Saturday

I'm not emo-ing at all, and I very seldom go into emo state, but I really like emo songs. HAHA

I just love songs that I can relate to. It doesn't have to be my own story, sometimes I listen to a song and I'll think of a friend and his/her plight or something, or some past experiences, or what I perceive to be their experiences. I dunno... I dun emo, but these songs really get to my heart, does that make sense? Hurhurr~ =p

Having said that, i'll admit i'm very partial to Eason Chan's songs and Lin Xi's lyrics. They're really emo, but really nice and applies to situations as well. The stories I personally experience, or see, or perceive unravels around these songs from time to time. And then i'm really lucky because sometimes i get (new to me) nice old songs into my song vocab and i get all excited over them that i just can't stop listening. So fun! Music is fantastic, it is it is it is~! =D It's my form of Harry Potter magic in this non-magical community of ours. Some songs are like the cheering charm; they make me so happy, think I'm Yours and In the Mood. Some songs tear me apart like crucio; think Tank's If i become a memory, and Damien Rice's The blower's daughter. Some songs do touch me so as well, think Endless love. I'm still waiting to discover my dose of Felix Felicis though ;) I want a song that makes me feel lucky~!! :)

Here's a dose of "Crucio"~
*Caution Note*
Dun emo cos of it huh ;)

Wish they didn't add in the scenes from Closer into the MTV though, cos the original scenes seem to relay the story of the song much better :l
-------------------------------------------------------

The blower's daughter

Lyrics
And so it is just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me most of the time

And so it is the shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes... (off you)

And so it is just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time

And so it is the colder water
The Blower's Daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes... (off you)

(From gal)
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind... my mind...my mind...

'Til I find somebody new ......
----------------------------------------------------

Here's the live version... I think it's so full of feel and super super nice! ;)

23 August 2009, Sunday

Mmm~ I realised it's been quite some time since i've last written about myself, so here we go. Today's another particularly alone (not lonely) day, spent living like a retiree. Well, at least it feels that way to me. Sleeping till whatever time i like, doing nothing in particular except reading newspapers, watching TV, and sitting around trying to get fat, nothing strenuous, nothing too exciting, nothing to stir my emotions, and craving for Roti Prata. Easily contented, is Ah Heng. Well, perhaps grandchildren running around would be nice, hur hurr~ =D

So i started wondering... Since when did i start living and feeling this way? I know for sure sometimes people feel life can be so unfair, i do that sometimes. Believe it or not, i was born into a poor family, once being touted as a "野孩子" without proper manners, skinny, scrawny, sickly little boy that i was, hot-tempered, conceited, haolian, haughty, overconfident, unrealistic, irritating, shunned by kids of "proper" upbringing, given dirty looks by sec sch teachers, humiliated once even, getting slapped by one of them. If i did well for a piece of homework like composition, it was because i'd got a "JC friend" to do that assignment for me. Damn adults, they think they know everything. (I proved her wrong and scored one of the highest marks for composition during exams later, anyway) Ah, worse still, the presence of those perfect little beings, rich, well educated, well behaved, loved kids (i supposed i meant given by the same teachers), cute, good grades, no trouble. Pay attention to them, leave the sarcarsm and berating for those hopeless ones.

Life isn't fair. Expecting life to be fair is like expecting the Lion not to eat someone because he/she is vegeterian.

I'm happy i chose to change. I'll skip the boasting since it takes too much explaining and you all know me for the person i am now, hur hurr ;)

Short Dinner with Kuang, Zhaorong, Sio, and Jolene
It wasn't anything much, but i really feel so happy and glad to have met some NPS peeps today, even if it's just a short dinner and small talk. I'm also glad that apparently i haven't lost my good sense of humour, Thanks Sio for being my guinea pig and scapegoat *shake* "Do you feel anything?" ha ha haa ;) Oh~ so fun~ but we forgot to take pictures... Mustn't forget that next time.

Interpreting Songs
This (the gist of the Lyrics) was actually what i've gone thru before.
Sometimes, it's not until songs are interpreted in another language that you realise how meaningful those lyrics can be... Have fun trying ;)

十年 - 陳奕迅 (Eason Chan)
Music: 陳小霞 Lyrics: 林夕

如果那兩面個字沒有顫抖
我不會發現　我難受
怎麼說出口也不過是分手

如果對於明天沒有要求
牽牽手就像旅遊
成千上萬個門口總有一個人要先走

Bridge
懷抱既然不能逗留
何不在離開的時候
一邊享受　一邊淚流

Chorus
十年之前
我不認識你你不屬於我
我們還是一樣
陪在一個陌生人左右
走過漸漸熟悉的街頭

十年之後
我們是朋友　還可以問候
只是那種溫柔
再也找不到擁抱的理由
情人最後難免淪為朋友

Bridge
Chorus

直到和你做了多年朋友
才明白我的眼淚
不是為你而流
也為別人而流

Ten Years - Eason Chan
If those two (spoken) words weren’t trembling
I wouldn't have realised that I'm hurting
No matter how it is phrased
It's still simply a break-up

If we have no expectations for tomorrow
Holding hands would be just like a tour
(With) hundreds, thousands of doors (*with so many choices)
Inevitably one (of us) will leave first

Bridge
Since embrace cannot be retained
Why not at the time of parting
Savour (the feeling) while we're shedding tears

Chorus
Ten years ago
I didn't know you; you didn't belong to me
Weren't we likewise
Staying at the side of some stranger
Walking through the streets that slowly became familiar

Ten years from now
We will be friends; (we) can still greet each other
It's only that, that kind of warmth;
will never again, find us a reason to embrace
In the end, it's hard for lovers not to turn into just friends

Bridge
Chorus

It's not until I've been friends with you for many years
That I understand, my tears
If not shed for you
Will likewise be shed for another person

---------------------------------------------------------------------

When difficulties arise... when bad things happen; I know it's difficult to go thru and easy for me to say, but the best we can do for ourselves is still to adapt (to the current situation), move on, seek, search, and find happiness in other ways that suit us...

Another a la carte Posting

11 August 2009, Tuesday

Just wanna share some thoughts that occurred to me randomly at different times this past 2 weeks~ And another nice video clip ;)

Practicality vs Romancing
The thought begins when one of my best friends Jimmy told me sometime last week (or was it the week before? bah~ nvm, haha) that he'd just proposed to his girlfriend of 2 years. No, this isn't about the details of that proposal (not that i really know~ Hur hurr). It's given me something to ponder over though~ Having heard many versions of (sg) couples' relationships from strangers to friends to bf-gf to husband and wife, i've found something that seems...... weird to me. And i'm kind of amazed how de-sensitized to this the people of our country have become. Read on.

So goes the story of the typical courtship in Singapore.
Guy meets gal (or vice versa, sui bian la huh), they develop good impressions for each other (or they bicker) and fall in love, they get together, and after a few years, either "it's about time", or out of the blue they decide to try applying for a house together. Whoops!! They actually DO get the home they applied for. Ok, maybe after two or three tries, whatever. They make some plans for their future, the days roll by, guy proposes to gal, she says yes (hello? was she going to reject anyway?), they go for ROM, and when everything's in place they have their wedding dinner, hopefully they live happily ever after. Ewww~ Nice and practical, Familiar? ;)

Now listen to MY preferred version of sequence of events. Guy meets gal (or vice versa, sui bian la huh), they develop good impressions for each other (or they bicker) and fall in love, they get together. After some time, guy decides that gal is the right person he wants to be with for the rest of his life. He decides, he prepares, he springs a surprise proposal! Wowww, what courage, to propose not knowing if gal is gonna accept. (If gal loves guy enough to want him for the rest of her life) Gal is pleasantly surprised! She's gonna love guy much much more for this surprise anyway, she probably accepts on impulse, but she's never, ever, going to forget this. She'll still decide later that it was the right decision anyway. They're fiance and fiancee now. There's this fresh, new wave of mushy mushy muack muack lovey dovey tian mi qi with each other. Then they make plans together for their new home, family, whatever. This, my friends, is what i call romancing to a marriage. Just look at the difference!! I'm sure you all get what i'm trying to say, Hahaa ;)

Perceived no-needs and dun-wants
Ok, so much for being a hopeless romantic, Hahaa. Next thing concerns pretty much about myself. It was a weekday while i was on a bus on my way home. Was looking at cars zooming past and for some reason, i started wondering why i'd never found being able to drive as something important or indeed, a need at all. Truly told, it wasn't even halfway up my wants list. How the hell did i grow up to be so different from others?

So i did some checks on myself. Hell, numerous times and occasions over the years, i'd complained to myself about darn Singaporeans driving when they could've just taken the public transport and lighten the traffic (of course la, i was probably anxious about possibly being late whenever this comes to mind), keep the air cleaner, and reduce the number of traffic accidents. Moreover, i find cars to be an expensive luxury item, not to mention the ever increasing ERP and petrol prices. And i tell you what, Add to that my principle of not "doing something just because everyone else thinks it's necessary", or quite simply my dislike of social conformity without first convincing myself of it's logic or necessity.

And then my bus reached Old Boon Lay Shopping Centre. This was when i realised the real underlying reason for not feeling the need to drive throughout all these years. I live walking distance to a Shopping centre surrounded by coffeeshops, hawker centre, accessible transport, 24hr stores, etc. I can get just about anything i need or want so easily. If i'd lived somewhere any less convenient all these years... needing, perhaps, to take a bus just to get some food, or tidbits, or groceries and stuff... i think i would have wanted to drive long ago... Time to change my thinking, i suppose ;) And they say an inch of gold couldn't buy one "an inch" of time... Owning a car does invariably save one lots of time, so i guess it's gonna worth it after all.

Just How did it take me so long to realise this!? Haiyo~~~ LOL

The EriAm Sisters
Honestly, i was quite astonished and pleasantly surprised when i first saw this video of The EriAm Sisters. I think it was probably their first appearance on American's got Talent [edit] just recently. And man! They're really fantastic!! ;) And then i also appreciated the way the audience stood up and clapped/cheered/grooved along once they realised how talented the young girls were, God, they really DO know how to appreciate and enjoy watching raw talent on display!! Really, trust me, take some time to watch this, it'll be well worth your time :)
And Ooo!! I love this song!! ;)

Quite strangely, i felt so touched and so proud of them for their parents everytime i watch this...
Hahaaa :p Weird

[edit] You might want to watch with much higher resolution and completeness from intro to judges comments from the following link... Pity embedding's disallowed for this one :p Skip the first part about the freak (it's funny with the emcee though hahaa) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQg3MrMLLRw

Owww~ I've really lost it, haven't I?

First thing to remark after my last post, NO, i shall not blog more frequently, because somehow i find myself soooo drained of energy everyday. Every so often i think of blogging, mostly when i see or hear something intriguing, and yet i'd decide against it due to my lethargy. Mmmmm~~~ I'm really getting old and feeling it. I miss all the energy and drive i've had as a youth. And yet, "Youth" doesn't seem that long ago, if i look at it in that sense.

Alright, i should kill the culprits of all these lethargy - late nights that mean i sleep only about 4-5hrs everyday? But i guess it still has to do with... age. And then there's also that organization that's world class in starving one's brains of wits, drive and optimism. Zzzzzz......... Hahaa. Alright do me a favour and don't ask me about it - really, nothing bad has happened.

Social life. Honestly, HELL, i miss everyone. I miss all my NPS friends, poly friends, ITE friends, soccer friends. Human beings are social animals - we crave friendship and company. Hmm~ Why don't I jio ppl out, sms, or call anyone pro-actively anymore? Why am i so different from the Ah Heng everyone's accustomed to????

*Alarm bells sounding out*
tneh! tneh! tneh! tneh! Signs of age spotted!! Signs of age spotted!! Grumpyness from Ah Heng, Grumpyness from Ah Heng!!

OK OK i know!!! Enough about my own complaints, hehe. Now for the good stuff~

Good stuff 1:
If you're a follower of 超級星光大道, i suggest you watch this Taiwan Chinese New Year variety show - 牛轉乾坤旺旺來. The following is a link to the first of 24 videos... It's super nice!! :) If you've the patience to watch the whole thing, you'll find quite a number of fantastic performances. There's those cheeky comments, and things like Lin You Jia vs Xu Jiaying kind of stuff, performances from dance groups like the reigning cheerleading champions of Asia. Fantastic! Then again, there's 24 videos, hahaa :p Stick to the clips that start with 中視除夕特別節目 for better sound though!

I absolutely love these kind of Happy shows!! :)

Good stuff 2:
I'm lucky because recently i've found quite a number of songs that i really really like. Mainly it's songs from the Band called "Queen". I think everyone knows them for songs like "We will rock you" and "We are the champions", but these aren't really their best songs, at least not in my opinion. Not that i've heard many of their songs, but i listened to a few due to one of the performances in 牛轉乾坤旺旺來.

I really really like songs like "I was born to love you", "Don't stop me now", "The great pretender", "Bicycle race", "Lazing on a sunday afternoon". There's many more of course, but i can't elaborate cos i haven't heard them all. But i'm not embedding the videos of this band because erm, they seem quite gay. Damn it. Well, still, the songs are nice anyway. On a side note: Shut up, Edward Cullen - by evidence of these songs, music in the 70s weren't all that bad.

Good stuff 3:
This song by Mayday, or 五月天 - 你不是真正的快樂 The lyrics are simply fantastic, especially the last parts about letting go and living a renewed life. I'm sure that sets many people thinking about their lives and experiences they've been through, well, people who notice the lyrics the way i do, anyway.

五月天你不是真正的快樂

人群中哭著你只想變成透明的顏色
你再也不會夢或痛或心動了
你已經決定了你已經決定了

你靜靜忍著緊緊把昨天在拳心握著
而回憶越是甜就是越傷人了
越是在手心留下密密麻麻深深淺淺的刀割

你不是真正的快樂你的笑只是你穿的保護色
你決定不恨了也決定不愛了
把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼

這世界笑了於是妳合群的一起笑了
當生存是規則不是你的選擇
於是妳含著眼淚飄飄盪盪跌跌撞撞的走著

你不是真正的快樂你的笑只是你穿的保護色
你決定不恨了也決定不愛了
把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼

你不是真正的快樂你的傷從不肯完全的癒合
我站在你左側卻像隔著銀河
難道就真的抱著遺憾一直到老了然後才後悔著

你值得真正的快樂你應該脫下你穿的保護色
為什麼失去了還要被懲罰呢
能不能就讓悲傷全部結束在此刻重新開始活著

Good stuff 4: (But only if you're an Arsenal fan like me)
I've watched Arsenal in the Emirates cup match yesterday, they were fantastic!! Jack Wilshere was super super remarkable - He can dribble, he has that rare vision to create opportunities with through passes, and, my oh my, he can shoot too! i tell you he's the Fabregas who can dribble and shoot, and soon he'll be Arsenal's next Dennis Bergkamp and the answer to Barca's Lionel Messi - you mark my words. Merida seems to be a potential to fill the void left by Flamini, cos from what i saw he was quite an aggressive player who's totally not shy of challenges, though he wasn't employed in the defensive midfield position. Overall Arsenal was simply fantastic!!

Clips of Jack Wilshere here, if you're interested. But don't waste your time if you're not a soccer fan.

Good stuff 5: (Again, only if you're a soccer fan)
And speaking of Dennis Bergkamp!! My 心中的神. Watch his goals, then skills and assists. The timing of his through passes!! Whoa, the stuff shown in the video just gets better and better with each second. He is super Fantastic!! It's no coincidence that Arsenal's stopped winning things ever since he retired. Sigh~ Really wish he's still young and still playing in the team lorrr~

I say all these are good stuff, but then again it's not everyone who appreciates things the way i do!! HAHA :p Conceited pig, Ah Heng is... Hehe ;)
Whoaaa long post again after so long, compensation effect, i guess? *chuckles* Ok! Till next time!!

Random things

06 July 2009, Monday

I'm irritating myself with the fact that i'm just so so sooooo goooood at procrastinating the things that i wanted myself to do despite having gotten everything ready ages ago. So instead of gettings things done and clearing out the original mess, i find myself staring at those prepared stuff which have now turned into another bundle of mess for me to sort out... i.e till the day i finally gather enough resolve to finish what i was doing in the first place... which is....... awww man~!! i dunno when!! *chuckles*

I seem to have gotten really good at snapping out of my moods and thoughts these days. No more second guessing at what could have been, or whatever! Sounds good huh~ heh heh

Awww this guy is really fantastic on the violin....

I have a new laptop!! It's a Toshiba M300-D4320, snapped it up during the PC show for just $1699 and i'm really pleased with it. No more getting irritated with my slow-like-tortoise Acer laptop! And you know what, how silly i can get sometimes. I'd gone to collect my laptop from the Harvey Norman outlet in JP, and i walked out of the shop with 2 boxes of stuff. It actually took me about half an hour to realise that the blur sales assistant had passed me 2 laptops - not just mine but also another customer's pre-ordered one. WOWWW 2 laptops for the price of one, good deal huh? Budden just like years ago when i had walked out of the Yamaha shop with that "free" guitar cos of the shop assistants' cock up, i was honest (not to forget stupid) enough to make the trip to return the stuff. Sigh~ no wonder good things nvr happen to me. With those noble goody boy bones in me and this wonderful world where the good and the kind always suffer more and the bad are privileged with more comforts... (hahaa!!).

Silly me no. 2 - It actually took me 2 days of getting my hands on this laptop before i realised that it has a built-in-webcam!! Wuahahaa~ hosay liao lorr~~~ lots of fun to come with it!! Yea i know some of you are saying aiya same as using camera mah, but it's the convenience and ease of filming the videos and playing them back immediately on the laptop, you see~ More than once, i fell asleep in bed using my laptop, and then there was this once when i woke up from a nap and decided there and then to film myself playing the ukulele since both the instrument and the (still powered on) laptop were within grabbing distance... So funny!!!! HAHAHA :p Shall post some of those videos soon if i can help it, especially those NG ones, hehehe :)

Last Saturday, went to pay my school fees and collect my course materials at SIM before heading for this BBQ near Yuyun's place. We'd reckoned that since Sio's back and Yuyun's flying back to Perth come friday, we shd meet to catch up. The party consisted of Yuyun, Sio, Kuang, Qimei, Weiling, Licong, Jiayan, and Hoepin, and another group of Yuyun's friends. Was really nice to see Yuyun and Sio again, being their usual selves, although i didn't recognise Yuyun until someone pointed her out to me from about 2 metres out, hahahaa~ Oh man~ she looked quite different to me at first with her now long hair la :p And she was really buay tahan with the first words James (who was there for only a few minutes) said to her after like what, 4 years plus of not meeting each other? And you know what, Yuyun and Sio are quite unique in the way they speak, their mannerisms, etc., and it just feels so nice to see them again, to observe them; how they move, what they do, the way they speak. Oh I dunno~ I think it's the sense of familiarity with them that makes me feel really happy to see them again, and their uniqueness makes this familiar feeling all the more magnified, i guess. Sio is just...... Sio again, which he hadn't been during the last few times he was with us. Doing all the crazy but whacky stuff, like smoking that half metre long "cigar", HAHAHA. Must be the effect of my first chants of simultaneous nonsenses when he'd just arrived giving him such a electrifying culture shock that's he's himself again, hehe!! *looking smug*

Ohhh i met Shiyi while we were waiting for our bus back at the end of the BBQ...... She mentioned something about Zhonghan asking about gathering and that she's deferred him to me to organise although i've never heard anything about it yet. Hmm~ Maybe soon!! ;)

Man~~~ i should really blog more often so that my posts dun get so wordy... yes? *chuckles* Well, we'll see about that :)

little updates~ ;)

2009-06-26T12:55:00.004+08:00

Wuah hah~!!

Gone for 3 weeks, but that doesn't mean i've had nothing on my mind to write! Just no time at first, and then the things that followed in quick succession changed my mood just as quickly, so it's hard to want to write those initial stuff when you're not feeling them anymore. Sentimentalist me... *chuckles* Ok this is going to be quite wordy~ Bear with me!! *Growls like a bear*

1. After meeting Wanling (lunch), JY(Dinner), and Zhaorong(Rollerblade) last month, i finally caught up with Dj (supper) earlier this month. Kuang, Edward and XiaoheiJac goes without mention because we meet every so often, Hahaa =p That completes the catching up i wanted to do for the time being.

2. Organising that damned BBQ - Somehow i nvr got around to doing it...... *chuckles* I got lazy and distracted ever since the online booking system rejected my emails for the bookings - i wonder why...? Awww Man~ Could this be the year that we miss out even on the BBQ gathering that we have every year?

3. Soccer is so fun!! So far, my soccer kAs include my colleagues, ex-colleagues, poly friends, ITE friends, sec sch friends, and their friends' friends. Shiok huh!! People from almost all walks of my life!! ;) Whatever blues i have for whatever reasons, soccer clears them all for me... maybe except for the blue-blacks la!! Hehe!! =p

4. One secret that i'm not ready to confess or write about although it was very much the basis of my moods for the past 1 month or so... Reading others' old blogs, and looking at old pics sparked this. What would it have been like if......? Just wondering about the lost times. Hahaa.

5. NPStrings clubhouse - *sigh* Was there again on the day that Ngee Ann organised the farewell dinner for Blk 73 with some of the rest. So many things still exist there that brings back the memories and sentiments in me. The very first of those things that i noticed was when i made the turn up that first flight of stairs from canteen 1 to the second flight -> The flip-flop sign on the door that tells us if the clubhouse is open/closed. Can't really remember if there was already one when i joined, but i had something to do with either installing it or modifying it to what it was.

Whoa~ The feeling of moving nearer to the clubhouse with the anticipation of wondering who's already inside that slightly open door. There used to be numerous variations, of course - Kuang sleeping inside, or Hongzhi and Marcus getting ready their laptops to play warcraft, or Peiyu with our endless smackings of each other, or big-eyes Jiaying with our loud exclamations of each other's names followed by my *poke* while she does the "punch*, or someone playing the guitar/violin inside, many many many more. So, who or what would it be this time? Could it be that some among us were early? Or would it be a group of juniors that i wouldn't recognise? *opens door* Aww~ it was only Yuanliang... who'd only just arrived before me.. where were the rest? Hahaa :p

Casually chit-chatting with him while waiting for the rest, i browsed thru the photos and albums, wondering at the same time if i should confiscate the whole pack of our photos for my own keeps. NPS clubhouse still smells the same despite being messy and vandalised beyond description. Aww~ the feel of the place. Was actually really glad that i'd reached earlier than the rest, because for the last time, i had the privileged of feeling and seeing the clubhouse slowly fill up with the many people i'm so fond of. I'd only managed a few minutes of playing the guitar by myself in the clubhouse after dinner, and really really wished i'd stayed there longer. Something in me loves and yearns for the company and homeliness of the place itself, perhaps even more so than the company of friends that come with it.

The place had the markings of us all over it. Like the flip flop sign i'd mentioned earlier. I also noticed the unplugged extractor fan in the inner room, remembering with a smile that it was us who'd managed to get them installed (Tianle especially) despite not getting the aircons we'd wanted for the instruments. And i seem to vaguely remember that that one of the two extractor fans was unplugged because it had caused a short circuit of some sorts after i'd graduated. With the mess the clubhouse was in, memories of our cleaning sessions sparked an inner desire to have another spring cleaning session where me and Tianle would virtually throw half the things out as trash... *chuckles*

Going into the music room, i fervently wished that Edward, Tianle, Jinwen and co. were there as well so that we could have our last games of clubhouse soccer. I entertained myself with the thought of organising a last min very last guitar practice there - And as i walked in, kuang was exclaiming to me "Ah Heng! Lai~ Practice!" while simulating taking the stacked chairs to arrange for guitar practice. I didn't mention it this time, but how funny that we still manage to think the same things even after all these years of having graduated from the school and club. At one point, when the music room was empty of people except myself because everyone else were chatting in the clubhouse and along the corridors, i stood behind the table, looking from left to right as though all my guitar 1 to 3 players were there in the seats, and imagined myself conducting another lesson... Emo Heng, hahaa. Seeing both Moira and Kuang there at the end gives me even more sentiments than anyone can ever imagine - They were first people i encountered at the beginning of my life in NPS, and there they were, with me at the very last... How very nice...... :)

6. Last but not least, this is some fantastic violin playing!!

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

2009-06-05T01:02:00.009+08:00

05 June 2009, Friday

I've got other things i wanna write about but it's abit late now and i haven't been getting enough sleep of late, so i'm just gonna fill you in on the thing that's occupying my mind most now -> I'm so charmed by this wonderful love song by Jason Mraz! Song's "I'm Yours". Go find the song and check it out!! Or you could listen to the live version here, just skip the first 38 seconds or so of the video though~ What a song to tell someone "I Love You!". Nice and fun!! :)

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
Well you done done me and you bet i felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now i'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find Love, love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
Ah La peaceful melody
It's your God-forsaken right to be Loved loved loved loved loved

So i won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait i'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so i drew a face and laughed

I guess what i'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait i'm sure
There's no need to complicate (Well no no open up your mind and see like me)
Our time is short (Open up your plans and damn you're free)
This is our fate, I'm yours, i'm yours (Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love)

(Repeat and fade out)

Simply Awesome!! Love it!!! ;)

I'm kind-of amazed by something Jonathan was showing me - Check this out~ Cool babe strum-singing on the guitar, and she can play the ukelele!! *chuckles* And she has a nice smile at the end of her videos... Oh man~!! Bring on the guitar babes!!

So Nice right!! ;)

Orh-chehs and blisters!! :p

31 May 2009, Sunday

Let's recap Heng's past few days activities!! Soccer on Fri night, work and 20km++ rollerblading on saturday, and a morning soccer session + a trip to the library today! (skipped the shopping trip) Damn tiring lor~~~ and i've sustained a considerable amount of injuries during the past few soccer sessions... Full of orh-chehs and blisters now!! *chuckles*

Look at all the swells, and i even have a blister inside another blister, if u look carefully!! Oh man~~ plus, i guarantee you've not seen all of it yet... another orh-cheh on my hip and left leg!! Wahahaaa :p I'm sure the gals out there would be rolling their eyes back and saying GUYS. Oh well yeah, it's a guy thing~ Good thing i'm single, if not surely kenna nag dao si... Hur hur hurrr~ ;)

Looking forward to the next soccer session and more weekends of fun like that for coming weeks!! ;)

30 May 2009, Saturday

Yesss Barcelona not Man U!!! Wahahahaa~!! :)
I simply love the free flowing soccer that Barca plays...... They even give the feel of attacking when they're defending!! The best example of this was during the 27th to 29th minute of the game... Dunno how to describe, go watch the replays for yourselves!! ;) Barca's passing was simply exquisite throughout the whole game... I hope Arsenal can play that kind of soccer AGAIN someday!! Well they use to do so, and they still try to do so, but they don't come close to the perfect execution of that play that Barca does yet... I'm now an Arsenal and Barcelona fan!!!! :)

------------------------------------------------

After work today (7am to 1pm), i went to East Coast Park with Zhaorong for skating and it was absolutely fantastic!! Although i was abit bai ka due to last night's 3hr soccer, wanted to visit the place and enjoy the buzz and feel of the elements!! As usual, we'd skate to the SAFRA chalet, but today was just abit extra special because of some little exploration that we did... Damn cool man!!

While skating, we noticed that it was Adidas' sundown marathon event day, because there were "distance boards" all along the cycling routes in East Coast. The first one we noticed was at "21km". On and on we skated along our usual route... until we reached the SAFRA resorts, and then we discovered that there was this extended connection to Changi. so we decided to skate on and explore... Wahaa!! Damn nice to skate once you've gotten through the initial slightly bumpy roads... There was this slightly dangerous swerve where people might fall into the sea if they overspeed and can't manage to brake though, *chuckles* really stirred up the laugh bugs in me lahh!! Maybe sometimes i imagine these horrible scenes too comically? hahahaa :p

So goes the story of Heng and Zhaorong's little adventure... From East coast Mac we skated till we passed by the planes and the airport and Changi Ferry Terminal and SAF Ferry Terminal and finally ended our little adventure at Changi Village!! All along was actually following the marathon route in some way.... I think we'd covered about 20++km today!! Fantastic lor~ the best part was really the feel of exploration and not really knowing what to expect ahead of us, so fun!! :) At the end of the skating trip, i rewarded myself with a nice plate of the famous Nasi Lemak, shiok lah!!! ^^

----------------------------------------------

二缺一
Previously a friend mentioned in passing that this term "二缺一" had nothing to do with what i thought it was, but just a nice song of Charlene Choi's!! Oh man~!! How could i not know!! Hahaha :p So..... i'd actually went and found the song and listened to it, really like it sia... Even better that it's Charlene's voice! :) I'd only managed to find the cantonese version though... Wanna to listen to both the Mandarin and Cantonese versions but couldn't find the Mandarin one. I know the cantonese version would be nicer anyway but i wanna compare the lyrics!! It's quite an emo song, so i wouldn't recommend it to heartbroken people, but i find the lyrics nice because they deliver the msg consistently throughout the song with rhyming entire paragraphs. Fantastic!! Here's part of the lyrics just for illustration purposes ;)

每晚回到家里帶半殘废身軀
入睡床沒法睡雜念來又去
往往仍记起你过去共你一起
所经过多得可以编写几次传记
分享我的兴趣分担我各樣顾虑
在绝处一刻拥抱等於给我圣水
你去後令我发现笑声有罪踏步也失据

剩下自己怎可走到尾
遇挫折孤身撑起好东西獨独自回味
最極刑是剩下自己彷彿单腳企
任我再努力逃避終须一跌沒餘地
假使我昨日单身走过去
沒有经历和你一起的壯舉
今天要我独居应不会難受到想死去

Yea tmr morning another 2hrs of soccer and an afternoon trip to the library for me!! Hmm~ considering between joining Jimmy, his gf and his gf's friends for KTV or doing some shopping for new clothes!! GSS is here again!!!! :) Gotta go sleep liao, tataz!!

20 May 2009, Wednesday

I surprise even myself with how nonchalant i am with my results this semester. Tomorrow's my paper, and yet for the large part of my leave days, i've spent much of my time either reading storybooks, watching tv or doing leisure stuff online. I've actually only managed to reeeaally start studying only today and i'm actually not nervous about it... oh man! Gimme back my sense of emergency!!

Instead, i spend my time pondering over random things like:
Would you think sometimes some people are just too charming or charismatic for their own good and others? Not in terms of looks, but attractive personalities. Its like sometimes this attractive gal/guy has to act like they haven't noticed interest from people, they probably feel bad about choosing not to notice anyway. The term for this is.. ~Lan tao hua~ Hahaa :p And then, I've noticed how some people stay single without going into relationships for years once they've ever had a crush on someone relatively attractive to them. After that, the others just seem...... plain or missing something? Kakaa :p

Hmm~ Perhaps it's just human nature, just like anyone who's been to Redang wouldn't really find Tioman to be all that attractive at all lah!! Hehe~ Ah~~ Just a reflection as someone who's been on both ends as the bee and the honey (or the fly and the dabian if you like). Of course there's also people like yours monkeyly who has been in relationships before and prefer staying single for the freedom

Sometime last week or early this week, i recalled this nice story again -> "Where Rainbow Ends". Maybe some people are like Alex and Rosie? ... Sharing that fondness for each other, yet never willing to reveal their feelings just because they perceive that the other party doesn't have that kind of feeling in return, or being whirled into circumstances that prevent them from confessing each time they gather enough resolve to do so... Awww~ i wouldn't want to be in their shoes... I think it's really sad if 2 people so in love with each other have to wait till they're in their 50s or something before know how much feelings they have for each other and get together......... OOOOO i've suddenly realised something more important!!

Haircut!!

2009-05-19T14:48:00.007+08:00

19 May 2009, Tuesday

Guess what? I'm actually feeling quite proud of myself right now. Just moments ago i'd returned from a trip to the hairdressers feeling distraught with looking idiotic like the Brazilian Ronaldo years back when he had his hair shaped like his teeth... Oh man!! Seriously! I kind-of had that buck teeth on the right side of my head after the haircut! Wah lauuu!!! So i took things into my own hands - and shaver, of course. I gave myself another haircut!! Hahaa :p Well, at least i don't look like Ronaldo anymore, without the "buck teeth" on the right side of my head. I actually look kind-of smart now u know! HaHa *whews sigh of relief*

(edit) i've just drawn some simple illustrations of that "stylish" hairstyle... kakaka

That slope i'm mentioning about has nothing whatsoever to do with a fringe, it's really cut short in the middle and shaped progressively longer along the right side. And that fantastic slope's part of the buck teeth on the right side. Say i'm old-fashioned if you like, but if being stylish involves looking stupid, i'd rather shave myself botak than to be soooo stylish as to have "buck-teeth" on the top side of my head....... Kakaka :p Haiya, i should've taken pictures of that stupid hairstyle, but was really feeling too distraught and panicky at that moment. And i've just discovered that my camera's run out of battery anyway, pics (of me NOW) up when batteries are recharged tonight! ;) (Added!)

No curry pok on the right side of my head!! Yea!! ;)

Meeting u again :)

18 May 2009, Monday

I'm super yearning for my exams to finish this Thursday, cos i've just got my hands on the whole series of "The Belgariad" today!! Wahaa!!! Wahhhhhh~~~~~ Wanna start reading them sia....... Hope i can resist long enough to complete my revisions! *chuckles*

Guess what? For all the alone time that i've claimed to have enjoyed from weeks ago, i actually decided to switch modes. Met up with some of my closest friends individually for meals and chit chat recently. Didn't really want to talk about this until meeting with specifically 3 of them among all the people close to me. Can you believe it? They're the people who've occupied my thoughts most since late 2004, and yet it's been approximately 2 months+, 3 months+ and 10 months++ respectively since i'd last met the 3 of them. Well I've finally managed to fulfill that wish today! ;) I can finally move on without looking back at things that happened or didn't happen!! Hahaa ^^

Next people on my list -> definitely Dejun and Zhaorong, my good bro and sis... are the 2 of you ready for me? Heh heh :) Sometime this weekend or next week ok? ;)

As for the rest...... You can make do with these pics of me for now right......? Hahahaa :p

Hahahaa~ ok cut the crap. I'm actually planning to go for a haircut tmr or the day after so just taking some pics of myself now for the sake of doing it. And also just to keep from getting too wordy! :p

By the way! BBQ in June, anybody? :)

Little updates~!!

2009-05-18T03:15:00.008+08:00

18 May 2009, Monday

Just realised today how little attention i'd been paying to my online webbys and exploits including blogspot, hahaa!! And this realization comes as a result of Dejun flooding my email with Facebook photo tags, Thanks har~~~ Hahaha. Having real fun with muah offline stuff, so wasn't really concerned about friendster or facebook etc becoming mouldy ~ Kakaka :p

Just took my Marketing paper on Friday, i think it would take a big big miracle for me to pass! Yeah i know many of my friends are not going to believe this, but i actually DO think i'm going to fail this time! Hahahaa... Not really into studying this sem yeah... Can't really say i'm feeling lazy, just too distracted la!

Was studying with Xiaohei, Joey, and one of Joey's other friend at Woodlands library from 12 to 9pm on Thursday. Yours monkeyly spent half the time going on 2 separate shopping trips, reading a comic book (bought from the 2nd shopping trip) and talking crap about stuff like worms, spraying insecticide up somewhere, goldfish and fisherman's friend. Quite a joke, Hahaha, hmm~ should i elaborate? Maybe next time la

Next - remember someone mentioning that my blog's gotten too wordy. Haiya~ muah poor neglected camera... Hehe ;) Ok, here's the first picture of many to come (hopefully!) then!!

These are muah proud purchases over the past few weeks.

School shoes, a soccer ball, and The Mallorean series by David Eddings

I guess the purchases of the Soccer ball and the books are pretty much self-explanatory, but school shoes? Kakaka :p Well, it's nothing, i'm not planning on infiltrating some secondary school or something with my deceptively youthful looks, it's just that i play my soccer games better wearing them because i'm so used to playing in those shoes. I actually started shooting and dribbling properly after getting those shoes... i've finally started scoring goalsssss again! Amazing, huh!! *Chuckles*

Typical weekend

2009-04-26T23:39:00.003+08:00

26 April 2009, Sunday

Nothing special to mention... but I played soccer again on Friday night from 10pm to 2am!! :) :) :) Super fun!!! Unfortunately i injured my left ankle and right hip in between the games ... Hahaa :p Then again, didn't think the injuries were that bad at first, cos i was able to continue playing without any pain throughout, although i couldn't shoot with my left foot la. BUT discovered to my horror that my left foot was swollen on Saturday morning!! Haiya originally wanted to go East Coast today de lor. Should have been a really nice day cos the weather today was fantastic ^~^ Yay Arsenal win and Aston Villa draw!! Pity West Ham miss their penalty against Chelsea... Hahaa :p

Back to superfit and play soccer days...? Heh heh~

21 April 2009, Tuesday

Starting from my first running practice last Wednesday, i'm finally getting my hopes up about becoming ... ... superfit again!! :) Though it was nothing special and not particularly strenuous, it was the difficult first step and very significant push to get my exercise momentum going. Even more lucky, i've finally found people to play soccer together regularly with!! Wahaa!!! ^^

Last friday was super satisfying, though i felt quite bad about asking Alvin (mua colleague friend) to find another ka for his mahjong session because i wanna pang-seh the session to play soccer... Thanks to Jerry la huh~ hehe. Met the other guys for the soccer gamessss at FICO (cage soccer) at 10pm. I didn't recognise many of them, cos there were friends' friends and Air force alumnis included amongst us. We played till 1am! Super shiok lor, though i was abit bah-ka at first... couldn't control the ball when dribbling it at all. Too long nvr play le!! The muscle aches from wednesday's run had something to do with it as well, i guess~ To think i was almost unbeatable in my sec school and ITE days, ~sigh~ Thanks to the other side of my game though, (distribution play, anticipation play) i was able to exert a considerable amount of influence after the 3rd game :) super fun, super Fun, Super Fun!!! Whole of Saturday and Sunday was itching to play in every cell lor, hehe :p

Saturday - planned to start my day at 7.30am, but it was mission impossible. What to do~ Only reached home at close 2am and slept at close to 3am the night before, heh heh~ woke up at close to 11am instead. Went to CPF building in Jurong East to get my Singpass for e Tax-filing... I procrastinated till the very last day again!! Hahaha :p And then since the library was so near, i'd also planned to return the books i'd finished and borrow some more. On top of that, i visited Popular bookstore and found Breaking Dawn!! WOW!!!! 7 extra stories to finish before 10 May..... Siao liao!!!! (Cos wanna finish Breaking Dawn first.. hehe) Once reached home, cheong assignment, read Breaking Dawn, cheong assignment, read Breaking Dawn, cheong assignment... watch soccer!!! :)

So yeah~ was super happy on Saturday until... ... ...
Arsenal lost to Chelsea in their FA Cup semi-finals!! Damn lor... the pitch was terrible, about the same as Villarreal's pitch in Arsenal's away game there. Although Arsene Wenger (Arsenal's manager) claims it (the pitch) had nothing to do with Arsenal's loss to Chelsea, i have every reason to disagree. I DISAGREE!!!! Lemme ask those who wanna contradict me. What's Arsenal's strength and way of playing? Lightning quick and precise passing, one touch football. What's Chelsea's main strength? They make use of Power players like Didier Drogba, Michael Essien, John Terry, Michael Ballack to exert their pressure on players. On that stupid pitch, Arsenal were stripped of their advantage, while Chelsea could simply pump their long balls in, which was what they did for the winning goal anyway. UNFAIR!!! Wembley pitch is truly a disgrace, especially considering its cost and prestige.

Sunday... Resigned myself to sulking, cheonging assignment, reading and sleeping the whole day long. Breaking Dawn is definitely the best of the four in the Twilight Saga!! Nice lor, haha. Originally would've been interested to watch Man U vs Everton at night but was still feeling miserable from Arsenal's loss so wasn't in the mood to watch another inconsequential-to-Arsenal-fans-anymore soccer match. Hmm. Man U lost on penalties. Ha ha~ At least the Man U fans couldn't suan me, hehe :p

Today! Went for another running practice. And then i was told that another soccer session possibly coming up this Friday!! Yayyyy!!!!! ^^ Super tired now, gonna sleep. Tataz!!

The Myself Times... Hahaa :p

2009-04-13T07:32:00.007+08:00

13 April 2009, Monday

Woohooo~ ! Didn't realise it's been a month since i'd last written. My impressions tell me that it couldn't have been less than 15 times that i'd wanted to write on stuffs coming across my mind; that brushed against my emotions & thoughts over this period of time... Though of course, being me, nuahness tends to triumph over desires, haha! Hmm~ can't really remember what i'd wanted to write at those times though, so i'll just focus on those i've deeper impressions of :)

EPL league results
Not that i've anything against Man U, which i appreciate for the flowing attacking football that they normally exhibit... but the arrogance that Man U's fans have accumulated in their over-egoistic minds over their repeated successes really irritates me to the core of my very being. So i was immensely satisfied when Man U lost to Liverpool and Fulham, and with devastating results as well. Woohooo~!! Time for Man U fans to learn some humility. But what pleases me most are the recent results that Arsenal have managed to achieve! Seeing them getting back their attacking instincts and capacity makes me more happy than any other goings on in the leagues!! I can't believe Arsenal's bad luck though... Now that they've welcomed their key strikers and midfielders back from injuries, they've lost their key defenders!! Wah lau wey...... Siao liao lah............................

Eclipse
The 3rd book in The Twilight Saga Series. Managed to buy it from the JP Popular outlet some time back, lucky! Hmm... It's not really what this book is about, but parts of the story from New Moon to Eclipse got me thinking back about some of my own past experiences. So i was Edward, and then i was Jacob...? In many ways but not all though. That troubled me for a while, i suppose... And then the urge to read and relive some past memories that i'd written on was overwhelming, and i succumbed. This time it didn't poison my heart like it used to, but still remembered how excruciating and torturing the experience was. Nothing of much effect on me now though! Just reflecting, hur hurr ;)

Personal Time
For the past 4 weeks or so, i decided to spend some alone time away from almost everything and everyone else - i was rarely online or outside other than when work, classes or assignments required me to; I shied away from contact with most people during my free times, and kept myself to myself for myself. Ahhh~ The freedom was so pleasurable, and i enjoyed it. Even so, inevitably from the 3rd week or so, i started missing my friends and all the group outings, and mahjong sessions. It became so serious that i came to realise how badly i missed the times where we need not even spend one/zillionths of a second to think of where we could find good company - ahh~ the good ol' NPS times... ~sigh~ Heyy peeps, if you're reading this, i super miss u all lei >_<

East Coast
Back to my "antisocial" times (Wahahaaa~), remember spending a day at East Coast for the afternoon sun and the evening breeze. MYSELF time, didn't even bring my phone with me... Woohoooo~!!! Super shiok lor, and good time to be a little emo, of course... (emo not equals sad, ok, hehe^^) Wahh~ how to describe the freedom of moving around in my blades with hardly any restrictions and being unbounded from everything except myself... or feeling the sun and wind brush gently against my skin with my eyes closed and ears open to the serenade of the sea that cleansed my mind while i rested sitting or lying down... could feel my every cell relaxed and vibrating with the happiness of being so free from the world, as if i were a cloud, or the wind, or simply an element and not a being. Really appreciated the experience... Pity i can't risk doing it all the time cos the nature of my work requires me to stay contactable, hahaha. Tsk.

Library
Another day was spent in J.E library browsing for books of my interest. It was some days after i'd finished reading Eclipse and found myself unable to contain my reading needs... So yea it was my off day which i originally desired to nuah in bed and relax all day comfortably wormed in the hole that was my home, but tadah!!! somehow found enough motivation to push myself out to get the books. What's the point of staying in bed without anything to read!! Eeee!! Haha :p Yups and so after a whole day of browsing and slight frustration at being able to locate all but the first book of a series i took interest in (rolls eyes back and feeling exasperated, i think it was The Tamuli.. or was it another series? hmm~ Can't really remember) i gave up on that and finally ended up leaving the library with "The shadows of the wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (i almost typed Julian Caraz! *Chuckles* ahhh~ u'll understand what i'm saying once u've read the book) and "The Hidden City" by Michelle West neatly tucked in my bag. Another 4 weeks of good reading in between work, class and assignments to enjoy! Heh heh~ ;)

Breaking the alone time
Spent a day with a favourite friend. I was tired from lack of sleep, because for the whole week before that, i had to start work at 5.30am everyday except thursday. Friday and Saturday were worse - ended at 7pm. So it was great in a way. Despite being tired and cooped up for so long, it was nice to find myself able to chat with someone non-stop. Hmm, thinking back, the little downside for me was, i think, allowing my guard down and being a little careless with touch and words. i shall ensure that i exercise better restraint like my normal self when i meet with friends again, hehe :p But this day, it was amazing. Although the day did not proceed as we originally planned, where even plan B was discarded due to the terrible but filling lunch that we started off with, while at the same time discovering some differences between us, the rest of the day was as though i was trying to make up to myself for all the silence i'd embedded myself in for the past weeks. It was just one of the rare days that i was able to chatter non-stop with countless reminisces of the dramas of my life where i was the lead actor... it helps that the friend was a good listener too, Fantastic! Hahaa :p Quite funny lor, when i think back, and immensely enjoyable :) Especially to think that i managed all that in my tiredness!

Finally back to my normal work routine! Today's my off day and i'm supposed to start on my assignments... but i shall nap first, hehe :p Tataz!

Colorgenics

2009-03-13T01:36:00.003+08:00

13 Mar 2009, Friday

Got to know about this "Colorgenics test" from Kelvin's blog and decided to try it...... Honestly, just like him, i wonder how a simple test with colours can be so quite accurate huh~ It's really amazing! hahaa :p

Name: Yow Heng
Date: 3/12/2009
Colorgenics Number: 14356027

You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realise the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you back... so let go, trust and you may pleasantly surprised at what happens.

So so very true lei~ nothing to dispute about this... Hahaa ;)

You enjoy taking part in anything that may constitute fun and excitement. You need to be stimulated and need to feel that 'Life is worth living' and you are awaiting that stimulation and you don't particularly care where it comes from!

Yesss!!! People who know me would know :)

You are prepared to establish a particular relationship that is being made available to you at this time. It could be a satisfactory liaison but there could be a certain amount of conflict involved -try to avoid direct confrontation at all costs.

Hmmm~ depends if there's any person who meets expectations? Wahahaa :p

From every direction there appear to be unwarranted restrictions on your freedom of action and this is producing considerable stress. You're really looking for independence and freedom from any restriction and therefore avoiding any obligations or anything which might prove hampering. You are being subjected to considerable pressures and you would like nothing better than to escape from them but you tend to lack the necessary strength of purpose to succeed in this. Whichever way you turn you are being frustrated. You need to be free to do your 'thing' in your own way.

Ya lahhh~ i need freedom!!! But for now it's quite ok~ i can breathe ^^

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.

Yes yes~!! No quarrels, no conflicts, peace~ leave me alone, hehe :p

-------------------------------------

So interesting~ For those who wanna try, you can take this test at the following webby ;)

WOWWW was going to write a post and then suddenly realised it's friday the 13th.... Hope nothing goes wrong today!! Hahaa :p

Random thoughts - Happy again~

2009-03-08T22:24:00.004+08:00

08 Mar 2009, Sunday

Back again! Past few weeks were a mixture of both entertaining and unhappy stuff.

Unhappy stuff cos a few things not going on too well for quite a number of my good friends like Jimmy (earlier on at work), Xiaohei (but with 3 assignments down & at least another one happy thing, she's ok), Zhaorong (hopefully he's getting better and more occupied), Joey (hmm most worrying of the 4), and childhood friend Koon (who's just lost his dad to heaven). And then there's the "combo meal" that my this sem's grpmates treated me. Bloody hell. Shall not talk of these unhappy stuff though~ Hahaa :)

Entertaining stuff including the likes of the story of a suitor (not me huh hahaha) who unsuccessfully jio-ed one of my gal-friends to go steady with him on v-day's eve, very interesting contents!! *chuckles* Well, he's done some other things well to earn himself some credits though... so congrats to him!! Hmm~ other entertaining stuff i guess are the recent plight of Kuang being suan-ed (by me) about being fat and (by sheena & Poh) losing his humour and stuff during the past 2 times that we met... Kelian de Ah Kuang. Hi Ah Kuang!! *waves* (Hur hurr hurrr~) :p One of that was during Zhaorong's Bday celebration which was alot of fun preparing. Shall not go into the details though!! We also had fun with the cake after the birthday song which i sang loudly and with much Gusto *Grins*. My my~ Birthday cakes are really delightful when they're litted up with candlelight. Was so so happy seeing the cake even though it was not for me. I can have no end of fascinations about these things de lor ^^

Happily chatting about holes
(After the birthday song, blowing out candlefire, photos and removing candles)

Heng: Zhaorong prepare to cut the cake~
Zhaorong: Eh wait i want to take pictures of the cake
Xiaohei: Aiyo! The cake alot of holes liao lei~
Heng: Ya lo, ay but i think got holes maybe like looks better lei
(Zhaorong happily snapping away with kuang and Heng helping him while xiaohei takes pictures of the 3 guys fiddling around with the cake)
Heng: (to xiaohei) Aiya just now should remember which coloured candle occupy which hole!! Then i can post the pic on the blog and describe one by one
Xiaohei: Hahaha ni wu liao lor
(Zhaorong places the "Happy Birthday" decoration flat on the cake for more photos)
Heng: (Eyeing the decoration) Ay!! We should try pressing that Happy Birthday into the cake! See whether the cake can have another nice hole or not
Xiaohei: (giggles) huh can meh will become very ugly or not
Heng: Aiya try know liao lor~ (Takes decoration and presses into the cake)
...
...
... (cake "sponges" down along with the downward pressure)
Heng: =_=''' Aiyo! the cake too spongy liao (taking away the decoration & looks at the cake) really become very ugly lei hahaha. (looks again) Aiya the words never take shape on the cake. Ay zhaorong cut the cake cut the cake~

Haha!! Zhaorong and Ah Kuang, wanna supplement with ur comments from that day? Can't remember the rest too clearly wor~ Hur hurr hurr~

Hmm~ recently with my outings i've become increasingly aware that i seem to be the only one that's not attending as a couple, and somehow that's producing some kind of pressure (still quite ignorable though, hahaa). I guess age has something to do with it bah!! Well i think i'm staying single anyway~ here's something about myself that i've been meaning to share for sometime anyway, that's what i enjoy. I call it "revelling happily in the aloneness". I don't really understand but there's something inside of me that totally revels in the freedom and being by myself. Examples of stuff i do alone are my hobbies which are ALOT. Used to be stuff like guitar playing of course~ In recent times would be Rollerblading, Reading, suntanning, video gaming (with old nintendo games), watching tv and clips online, etc etc etc!! I've no time for all of them!! *whines* I love being by myself sometimes... i guess NPS fellas would remember a time when i totally disappeared from everybody's contact. Nobody could contact me for weeks bcos i turned off my phone and cut off all contact to me. And then i'd do memorable stuff like learn Sunburst, or do the famous 25 burger thingy for fun~ Hahaa!! Crazy fella~

Convince me to go into a relationship only if u find someone who clicks with me! and i guess that means she enjoys stuff like music, mahjonging, reading, sports, doesn't need luxuries (my standard is 3 room flat only) and stature. Where to find!! Only i'm like that, bcos i live only for self-actualization!! Wahahaa :p Having said that, i'm happy to be myself!

Heng's mood index: mH (= moderato Happilito!!) *chuckles*

Little updates

2009-02-08T16:16:00.006+08:00

08 Feb 2009, Sunday

Hmmm~ i guess i should update starting from last Thursday? Ho ho :)

Last Thursday (29th Jan), Kuang smsed me to get a confirmation from me that our originally planned steamboat dinner was cancelled, then jio-ed me for mahjong. Ha ha ha~ he couldn't get the necessary ka, so i asked him whether wanna jio Zhaorong and XiaoheiJac out for dinner and movie. In between i asked Kuang to ask Liting, Dejun and co. whether they wanted to meet us, cos XiaoheiJac told me she had already agreed to meet a friend and couldn't join us. In the end XiaoheiJac's friend zhun zhun fall sick so instead it was still the 4 of us, Kuang, Zhaorong, XiaoheiJac, and yours monkeyly, although Zhaorong only met us after the movie at 9+ due to his work. We watched "Love matters", which was quite a funny show, i enjoyed it. XiaoheiJac was really quite pretty on that day with her newly dyed hair, and one piece dress. She told us that it was her company's new policy that they had to dress formal but not in uniform on Thurs and Fri, and added cheekily that her company didn't have enough $$ in their coffers to replace their uniforms and so wanted them to wear it less often, ha ha ha. Then we chit chatted at MOS burger where as usual, our conversations were so funny that i commented "wah lau laugh until stomach very pain... if tmr i got IPPT, i think i can do 60 situps lor, very well trained today liao". I also related to them my recent thoughts and opinions about relationships when looking at what's happening to my friends around me, which had me kind-of disillusioned and convinced that i'm right to stay single for now. Abit tired of bgr even just looking at it and not getting involved...

On friday (30th Jan), i attended my very first marketing lesson for this semester. The lecturer was WOW, excellent!! Very san ba, very talkative, speaks very fast, but very passionate and engaging. It was really fun to attend her lecture, which was punctuated with laughter, and cheeky answers/remarks in response to her questions, of which yours monkeyly most willingly and actively participated in contributing, Hur hur hurr... :p Her enthusiasm really really rubs off on all of us! Hmmmmmm..... For those of my friends who know Cherie, yupz, that's almost exactly how my lecturer is like in terms of Behaviour, talking style, and san-ba-ness!! And her name is Sheryl, so similar!!! Hahaha :p Really really enjoyed the lessons! After reaching home from the lesson, i then jio-ed a few friends to see if anybody wanted to meet up to go Qimei's home together on the next day for our gathering, before turning in for the night.

Saturday (31 Jan, Chu6), woke up at about 11+, then washed up and started for Qimei's home at the other end of the country. While on the train, i decided to confirm with XiaoheiJac that i wouldn't be going to EngWah's home later on in the day after all. Not really enough time for me to be at Tampines, Sengkang, and Admiralty all in 1 day!!! And with NPS fellas, i wouldn't want to just drop by say hi and then disappear... Really felt like spending more time with them la. Well anyway, reached Tampines and decided to have my lunch at Mac while waiting to see if Sheena, Poh and co. were coming to meet me to go Qimei's home together. I cabbed there alone in the end and reached at about... 2.40pm i think? They were already playing mahjong when i reached, so didn't get to play much (But Big Thanks to GuanTyng who let me play for him for about 2 winds!!) Was supposed to leave at about 5pm+ for my colleagues' farewell dinner, which i discovered to my horror was at Admiralty area instead of Aljunied!!! WOWWW!!!! Huge huge difference between the locations lor, really really idiotic of me not to realise after more than 1 whole week of talking about the dinner with my colleagues! Hahahaha :p

(On a certain weekday)

Soh: Ay the dinner on Saturday is around Admiralty area huh
Heng: (Thinking Aljunied) Orh ok ok. Wah~ Heng is not Ang Mo Kio or what ah, if not i travel till siao on that day sia. I'm going Tampines/Changi area and maybe Sengkang before the dinner lor~ Admiralty still not too bad la
Soh: (??? but doesn't comment on Heng's reply cos not sure) u jiak ba liao!! Travel so much on that day. Maybe from Sengkang can take Ah Wu's car lor
Heng: (Still thinking Aljunied) Aiya~~~ No need la Admiralty ok mah, all on about the same side of Singapore
Soh: (???? again)
(Heng already left the scene and conversation liao)

Imagine if i'd decided to go to Eng Wah's home at Sengkang too!!! Would've travelled thru whole of Singapore in one day lor... =_=''' Yupz, anyway back to what i was saying, in the end stayed till about 6pm cos was hoping to see the rest who hadn't arrived. Alas, It was not to be... though i still held on to the hope that there would be a 2nd round at some ktv or something so i could join them again after the dinner. When i'd reached Sakura, (near RP), was already close to 8pm. Ate and chatted abit with everyone happily even though the food wasn't really to my liking. Some of us then continued for the 2nd round where we went to Robertson Walk (ard Mohd Sultan there) to drink and watch soccer. There was only Soh, Jianming, Alvin and his gf Yunjie, but we still had fun chitchatting away, drinking, and watching soccer. Whoa watched Arsenal vs West Ham, Boltan vs Tottenham and Aston Villa vs Hull (i think) all at the same time! When the matches were coming to an end, i checked with Qimei whether NPS fellas would be having 2nd round somewhere... Unfortunately the ans was no, so for the first time in many years, i didn't get to see as many NPS fellas over CNY as i'd hoped...... Anyway, so i stayed and watched the Man U match too. Reached home about 4am+

01 Feb (Sunday) Woke up at about 12+. Mahjong at Alvin's home was supposed to start at 2pm, so i washed up and gobbled up my food while surfing the net. That's when i read the post which made me very sad. While on my way to Alvin's home, i kept pondering and wondering what went wrong, why things unrelated to the incident were mentioned, and all the time worrying with a heavy heart about how and whether our friendship would weather thru this storm... I also discovered that i'd forgotten to bring oranges (ok, this is anti-climax, i know), so when i reached Chinatown i had to ask a very kind uncle who gave me directions on where i could buy some. Took me 10mins to reach the store and whole of 20mins to select nice looking oranges. Ironically, on this day my luck on the mahjong table turned for the better and i won $70. We were playing 3/6, so that's ok. When i reached home at about 10pm+, i continued pondering about the matter with sadness while i washed up and started writing my previous post. All the time i kept thinking about the quote from Cao Zhi (from Romance of the 3 Kingdoms), "相煎何太急". Was really very sad about it. Dropped an sms to dear friend, saying i wrote on my blog again, and also offered to meet up to clear our misunderstandings, if any.

Monday, (02 Feb), pity, total of 3 or 4 requests to meet were met with a final "not free for this whole mth". Only then did i realise how shallow our friendship was, that it was not even worth 1 or 2 hrs of her time to restore to normal. While eventually it might still be there, it'll nvr be the same again. Besides sadness, nothing more to describe how i felt. Luckily managed to clear up another misunderstanding which i didn't even realise was in the air with another person, that lifted my spirits for a while. Wanted to skip evening class because of the little sleep i had on Saturday night and also the night before, but forced myself to attend as i had yet to form my assignment grp. Slept like a stone for the night...

The other weekdays passed by uneventfully, though sadness and the feeling of loss continued to badger me throughout. Remembered things like "Sometimes, people find it more difficult to forgive others for being right than being wrong" from the Harry Potter series. How very true. Reflecting back on that very sentence which i commented on facebook very early on - "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, not my problem, Heng ah!!", i really smacked my forehead and wondered why i was so foolish as to poke my nose in, and turn it into my problem. Undoubtedly the gesture was fine, but Nosy and Silly. Anyway, i've decided this is not worth my time and thoughts, i guess i'll just put my attention on other things and people from now on. Anyway, dear friend seems to be getting along well with her life now so that's really great.

Friday (06 Feb), i received an invitation from Edward to play mahjong!! Goodness me, it's been quite a while since i last met him. Was really quite happy about it. We decided we'd play 2 rounds, but not through the night as he had to teach in the morning and i had classes on fri night itself and also saturday morning. We played from about 11pm till close to 4am and It was fun, i'd also won another $70. I then stayed in Ed's home for the night where we lay in bed and chatted till 5am+ before falling asleep. Almost like the poly days when Kuang stayed in my home for awhile during holidays! It felt really great, especially after the misery of the past few days.

Saturday (07 Feb), 7.30am, left Ed's home along with him and his family, and met XiaoheiJac for breakfast and to go for our lessons together, since her home was just about next to Ed's. It was nice having company travelling to school, cos we can chitchat, haha :) Lesson was boring and i was tired from having just 1 and half hrs sleep the night before, but then i received another invitation from Kuang for mahjong. Said i'm ok with it as long as he manages to find ka and place to play, cos my bro was working night shift that day so couldn't play at my home. At first i thought i could get on with my original plans to go home and sleep like a log after lunch with XiaoheiJac, Joey, and Doreen, cos i doubted we could get enough ka. But the outcome was great. Not only did i enjoy a nice lunch where we talked abit of rubbish here and there with some laughs here and there, including textbooks and stuff, but kuang actually managed to find ka for mahjong which was at....... Ed's home again!! So i told XiaoheiJac we can travel back together again ha ha ha and then we were on our way. At causeway point, met kuang for his lunch and accompanied XiaoheiJac to Singtel shop to change her new but defective phone, then went to Ed's home. Ed said "Welcome home!" and i, "我回來了!" So fun hahaha. So i bathed while we waited for kuang's ex-colleague to arrive. Macham my own home sia. We managed to finish one round and kuang's colleague had to leave for her dinner, so the 3 of us continued playing 3person mahjong. WAH SEH really very different, but quite fun to play once in a while, i guess. We had Char kway Teow dinner which Ed's mum bought for us and ended our last round at 9pm+, i had won another $45 from the normal mahjong and $40 from our 3person mahjong. Cabbed to Jurong with Ed cos he was meeting Jolene. Haiya, earlier on i wanted to pay for our Char Kway Teow dinner but Ed insisted it was ok, so i offered to pay the cab fare in full but i got off first and all my notes were $50 ones except for a $10 note, so although it was majority of the fare, Ed still had to top up a few dollars from his coffers. Making myself a mental note to give Ed a treat next time we meet ;)

Sunday (08 Feb), slept like a log from 11pm last night till close to 12noon today. Was lazy to get up so i played Sudoku with my Nokia phone for awhile, before getting up to wash up, have lunch and go shopping. Kuang, Qimei, and Wanling are visiting me today!! I jio-ed them for a small reunion dinner at my home today la, originally should have already done so on Chu4, but it was postponed to Chu11 and then again to today due to circumstances. Pity Jimmy couldn't come today though. I enjoy seeing them at my home again because Kuang and Wanling are in mum's good books, hehehe :) If and when i have my own home one day, i'm definitely gonna jio my friends to visit me all the time, hahaha, i pity my future wife, if ever i get married. Hmm, i think that's all for now, Jialat la Arsenal drew their game again today... Tsk :(

Sad.. but.. Peace

01 Feb 2009, Sunday

Whoaa~ Peace.

Wasn't expecting one of my previous posts to somehow possibly escalate into a war of words. Only just noticed and read a blog entry dated last friday which seriously, deeply, deeply saddens me...... I guess it's natural for ppl to defend themselves... but the things and accusations written seriously breaks my heart. Anyway, while i'm going to explain myself here again, the words are not meant to hurt. I feel inclined to explain myself after all the things we've wrote in our previous posts.

Dear friend assumed i was furious with her for spoiling MY mahjong game - that's a wrong assumption. (My? Goodness me...) My anger on that day stemmed from the fact that people were taken for granted. Here's how...

1. The choices given to the other party... "Quit the mahjong game now and meet me or breakup and i'll go up and make a din". Going to someone else's home make a din? And somehow that was at a point where everybody thought the issue had come to a temporary standstill, because dear friend had told us blah blah blah never mind this and never mind that... And yet... things had to turn out the way it had. If your guy had half the temper or dignity as mine or many others, what would've been the consequences for the owner? I think it's pretty apparent that if it had happened, the owner would never ever be able to jio any of her friends to her home anymore... and from what we were told, that wouldn't be limited to the few of us, but the rest of her many friends whom we don't even know.

2. Dear friend thinks things like "at most the mahjong session gets cancelled and postponed to another day". HOWEVER, by thinking in that way, were we not, as friends, being taken for granted...? (By the way FYI we DID continue with the mahjong game by getting another ka, it's not about the game... It's about you.) *sigh* Again, this is not meant to attack dear friend...

3. Based on dear friend's assumption that i was angry due to the "cancellation" of the mahjong game, she further implied that i valued mahjong above friendships. If that were so, (1) on Chu3, there was another last min cancellation because (edited) a friend couldn't come owing to circumstances, what did i reply? "Haha ok ok nvm ;)" i wasn't upset at all, because they didn't wait till we had gathered to do so. (2) if i am really like that, i wouldn't even have left Qimei's home on our gathering day for my colleague friends dinner. If i was like that, why the hell should i even forsake the mahjong games to travel from Tampines to Admiralty for a simple dinner.

Dear friend... As a teenager in my younger days, i'd read the Bible about 3 times over, and attend some services myself, even though as a personal choice i chose not to convert. If you would bother to read that previous post again, i said nothing to imply what Christians would or would not do, that is not what the faith is about. I merely tried to explain things to you with what little knowledge i have because i felt you needed reminding, and i definitely did not say that you're not a good enough Christian or whatsoever... Attack me if you will when i do or say something wrong, i am man enough to hold my hands up and admit my faults honorably, i will even apologise and change my behaviour if that was so, but these are unfounded accusations, whether written in spite i do not nor want to know... because if it was for the purpose of turning others against me, i would feel even more hurt with the way things are between us. I sincerely hope that is not the case...

Remember i wrote the following statement in my last post? I guess i'll have to put certain words in bold to clarify and emphasize what i was saying...
"I'm writing this to both of you because as a friend, i care for you, and it bugs me to see you on the verge of displaying inappropriate behaviour without any regard for the consequences and consideration for other people."

Dear friend... You were displaying inappropriate behaviour. If i do not care for you, i would not even bother attempting to tell you what is right or wrong. If i do not care for you, it's just a simple matter of shutting up and letting you continue with that kind of behaviour, and for that i wouldn't even cross you or need to explain myself here. To simplify my example, i shall explain in layman terms in exaggeration. Let's say one day a friend of mine tells me he wishes to rob a bank. As a friend, i could (1) advise, scold, try everything in my means to stop him because of the implications of this action for the rest of his life, or (2) i could just smile and bochup, do my own stuff, cos it doesn't implicate me and that's not really my problem.

You feel that i was inconsiderate to you for writing those things. If that was the case, I'm sorry and i sincerely apologise... But i still stand by what i've said. All i can say is... 忠言逆耳. i can do nothing to make it sound nicer.

Next thing i need to defend myself against... On whether mahjong is a hobby... It's funny because i dun really see what's the issue here. Firstly, when we jio ppl to play mahjong with us, naturally we assume that each of us are mature enough to manage our own finances, no? "Should i play today? How much can i afford to lose if this was a bad day?"

Again, i don't really know why the issue was brought up, because we have played 2/4 for so long, each time everyone of us were keen and eager to play, yourself inclusive, right until about 1 - 2 hrs before you declared that you're quitting mahjong because you've lost. From the day you did so, i respected your decision and stopped jioing you. Even when we were desperately 3 que 1, i did not, even for a single time, attempt to coax you to join us. I have never held any persons at gun or knife point and said "Come play mahjong 3/6 with me!!!"

The higher kang, bite, and zi mo rates were implemented more frequently because having tried them with ppl like kuang, hz, sheena, we felt the special rules made it more fun. Everyone has the same kang, bite chances, no?

I must admit, i'm more of a 3/6 or 1/5 ka, the rate which i sometimes and preferably play with my colleagues and other friends. That said, if i play only for the $, not for the fun, i wouldn't even bother playing 2/4 with you all. Go see if you can find any other 3/6, 1/5 ka who's willing to play 2/4? I don't write cheques, nor am i rich enough to throw in gold bars or houses. But I am sensible enough to manage my finances and decide with the other players what rates we're comfortable playing with. Mahjong to me IS a hobby, not OT, my friend. I have, for your info, lost $70+ to $130+ on occasions during my higher stake games. Hz knows, kuang knows, my colleagues know. But the wins and losses even out pretty ok, though a little more on the losing end in recent times and i'm not even the least bitter on occasions where i lose that kind of money, because i had fun.

Lastly... I still treasure our friendship alot, i have explained myself, wherever i have offended or upsetted you, i beg for your forgiveness, as i hope you would for others. I wish we could meet to talk sometime too, if you would have it...... Peace, my friend

A Brilliant Conversation

28 Jan 2009, Wednesday

I received this from an email. Again, i'm no Christian and I personally think that both sets of arguments are flawed but despite that, Wanna share it because as an on-the-spot-argument it's simply brilliant!! Hahaa!! Funny!

------------------------------------------
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem that Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes. Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes,Faith. And that is the Problem that Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . . But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't measurable. If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?

Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?

Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor, Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . . No one appears to have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly! The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

That student was Albert Einstein.

It's 12:30am!! I should be sleeping now cos later gotta go work, but somehow dun feel like doing so too quickly so might as well write abit bah, hahaa :)

After the supershiok pre-CNY weekend filled with 2 overnight mahjong sessions and a 2hr+ basketball session, yours monkeyly woke up with body aches all over on CNY eve Sunday 4+pm... Had my family reunion steamboat dinner (which still tastes exactly the same despite all these years) at about 6pm+, after which i decided to search for some old games to play in my laptop whilst waiting for the Cardiff vs Arsenal game at 9.30pm to start. At first wanted to play Lulu2, but ended up playing Destiny of an Emperor instead. Terrible terrible decision... cos ended up playing thru the whole Sunday night till 7am!

After the Arsenal game, suddenly realised that my handphone was running low on battery power so wanted to recharge it... But i couldn't find my phone charger!! I'd left it in Sarah's home during the mahjong session on fri... And i didn't realise it even though i was there again on Saturday night!! Terrible... Hahaha :p Oh well, so now using the Nokia phone which was my present from NPS fellas few years ago. Luckily still got backup ;)

While online, i jio-ed Dejun and Zhaorong to see whether they wanted to come out on Chu1, maybe to catch a movie or what. At first both said they should be free, but somehow sotong realised she wasn't free at that time like she'd told me earlier, so i decided to wait till Chu1 itself before confirming whether to ask Zhaorong on that day. LUCKILY i decided that way... Cos of playing game overnight perhaps, i woke up at Chu1 early noon with a niggling headache. Was bored and didn't feel like going out, so i also decided to forfeit the talked-about-with-Sheena-but-not-confirmed-mahjong-session-to-be and not prompt her about it. Continued playing Destiny of an Emperor till i completed it at about midnight. Finished the game in just less than 2 days... but at the cost of not doing anything else... LOL :p Would still have preferred not getting the headache and being outside with friends though.

Chu 2, woke up with the headace still pounding lightly against my head, but still dragged myself to visit my relatives anyway. This year there's much less ppl around than previous years, cos many of my cousins are overseas doing their stuff, and some of my uncles/aunties had already left us in previous years. I miss those CNY gatherings we had when i was young... It was so full of life, people, and warmth. I seriously doubt i'll ever get to enjoy another one like that again. How i wish i'd realised this when i was much younger!! Would've treasured them much more instead of dreading them... Hope no one else has to go thru the same thing as me! Treasure your family gatherings huh!!! Haha :p

Speaking of going overseas, yours monkeyly is also tempted to jump to another platform at work that offers the opportunity to go to San Diego. Shiok huh!! Not too sure about it yet though, cos of the bond involved. Shall decide on coming Thursday after going for their recruitment talk and finding out more.

Hmmm... I guess overall Chu1 and Chu2 was rather boring for me bah!! Thankful for the friday-to-Saturday fun though~ ^^

Little updates and something for the 2 of you

24 Jan 2008, Saturday

Looking back at the past few weeks, got abit of mixed feelings. On one hand, i'm quite satisfied with the amount of reading i'd done, i read 2 books that i'd borrowed early this month ("Eragon", and "Chronicles of Ancient Darkness". After finishing Eragon, i then bought (and also read) the series of The inheritance cycle - Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr - because all of the copies of Eldest and Brisingr in the libraries' were either on loan or on queue, so i tot might as well buy the whole series since i really enjoyed the first. It's funny, cos originally i only wanted to borrow Lord of the Rings but couldn't find it, and then i happened to stumble upon the above mentioned books so i snapped them up instead.

At work, was a very unhappy Dec and early Jan preparing and going thru the audits. And then somehow i had to endure some injustice at work. Then on the day of my first lesson of the sem, something happened that caused a rift between my brother and myself, and causing distress to mum in the process. So in that sense it was really bad...

For the rest of the past week though, things seem to have picked up. Was on course at work and the mood there was generally quite relaxed and light due to upcoming CNY. Finally got some holiday mood after so long!!!!!!! Played Mahjong last night and basketball today noon with friends, and i really enjoyed everything! It's great to be having fun and also play some form of sport after not exercising for so long, though i'd have preferred to play soccer. Well, that's a start anyway!!

Somehow last night got abit involved in a quarrel between a pair of my couple friends. At first, i'd taken sides with one of them because of the consequences leading to the quarrel, which was quite unfortunate (shit the bloody boss) and probably abit brainless of the other party, but then something happened afterwards that totally swayed my "loyalties" to the other side.

For 2 of you
It's one thing to throw a tantrum or what, which most people do when they're upset and angry, and quite another to decide on doing unpleasant things like threatening to make a scene at someone else's place at that time just because you're feeling vengeful or you're not willing to feel miserable while the other party, under your presumption, is "immersed in having fun". For your info, that person arrived in quite a sad mood and wasn't even able to concentrate on playing. That's what you wanted, issit? I'll be so honest as to let you know that it took me all of my resolve to prevent myself from scolding you over the phone when you told me the "choices" you gave to the other person, if there actually was any. It was really inconsiderate and unreasonable. If you really love or hold any amount of care or respect for the other party, you should never attempt to hurt that person, or give unreasonable demands like that. When you seek to hurt, there's only hate, not love. Both of you need to be more mature in the way you communicate and do things. I loathe to advise people, especially friends, to break up. But IF the other person is really everything you cannot tolerate, be it level of commitment or sensitivity or the person's preferences in everyday life like meeting friends or whatever, then go ahead and do so. When people get into relationships, it doesn't mean they will or must definitely be together for life - they learn more about each other everyday, even if they dun notice - because human beings change all the time, albeit slowly, due to all kinds of reasons like new environments, friends, hobbies, whatever, and then they decide if that person is right for them at some point. Since i seem to only notice suffering in your relationship, then maybe it's time to move on. People enjoy long and lasting relationships through giving and loving each other; the experiences and time spent together are gifts, not obligations.
No one is obligated to entertain.
No one is obligated to give in to demands.
No one is obligated to spend time with anyone else.
No one is obligated to tame the resentments of anybody else.
Like i say, any of these things, if they're given or done, are gifts, not obligations. That's why people are happy when they receive them, and why i say there's no point in demanding them. If as i know you're still attending churches, then i would say this - Unreasonable demands and vengefulness are not the ways of the lord - it spreads enmity and distrust, not acceptance and love, and it won't get you anywhere near what you want, though it's probably funny for a non-christian like me to be saying this (edit: Not written in spite.. but just to clarify that i'm not a Christian... therefore sounds funny/weird for me to say "the lord" or what. Sorry for the poor english). Happiness would never come to you by hurting one another or being vengeful. Think. I dun care if from this point onwards you condemn me or what, but i shall admit that i am absolutely furious and angry with you now, and rightly so. I'm not obligated to be friendly - it's my right to do whatever i deem fit. I'm writing this to both of you because as a friend, i care for you, and it bugs me to see you on the verge of displaying inappropriate behaviour without any regard for the consequences and consideration for other people.

Little updates... and Fascinations

12 Jan 2009, Monday

Finally the first stress period of the year is over, because thankfully the auditing waves have passed without much damage. Huge pang of relieve!! ;)

Last week, many people seemed to be affected by the weather or something, heard many complains on bouts of headaches and stuff like that. Yours monkeyly was affected too, though most unfortunately mine had to happen over the weekend, of all times!! Haiya, but serves me right too la, for playing overnight mahjong after work on friday despite my condition... Hur hurr hurr... Because of that, decided to not to meet Yy and co. at Holland V on Saturday evening even though i missed them, since the headache was knocking against my head like some kind of Hangover that had nothing to do with alcohol, so wasn't really in the mood anyway. Moreover, it was already 6pm+ when i'd finally got out of bed from my day's sleep. Having already finished reading the last chapter of "Eragon - Inheritance" before going to sleep at 9am (Saturday), but not yet quenching my thirst for reading, i chucked my phone in my room and started on "Chronicles of Ancient Darkness - Omnibus" - a book with 3 of its series in one, while randomly having dinner, surfing the internet, watching tv all at the same time. I quite like the stories, especially "Wolf Brother". Not sure why, but somehow i'm almost always more drawn to the first story than the others when they come in series... It was the same for the Harry Potter series, maybe it's the freshness of it all? Dunno, Haha :p

Coincidentally, both "Eragon" and "Wolf Brother" held the most fascinating and touching descriptions of the bond between the lead characters and their "pets". Such was the loyalty, fondness, devotion and many other unspoken things that they held for each other! And the hurt they felt when the other was taken from them, even if only for a short time. Whenever other characters came along, they were like intruders upon the private world of kinship. I might as well have said "Lightbulbs" for (your) better understanding... hahaha :)

Looking forward to the next books in both series!!

Next, wanna talk about more fascinations of mine, for 2 remarkable ladies that i've held for the past 2 weeks or so. Vivian Chow and Tarcy Su!! Speaking of them, the First things that come to minds of many people would be "chiobu", "Yu Nu", or maybe even "Lao zar bor"... Hur hurr hurr :p Yes yes... Of course guys only talk about chiobu all the time... But together, these two have reminded me of some things that we rarely see nowadays - one of virtue and values, another of how mesmerizing and charming women can remain if they want to, even at that age.

How and where to start! Maybe from Vivian... the dream girl of all 60s, 70s and early 80s guys, still pretty even at her age of 41 (i think). More importantly, her forgiving, good nature, loyalty, and willingness to stand by her man despite him being a cheating bastard. Forgive me for being sentimental, but she deserves better, this charming lady... all others can only stand aside and sigh~ for it really is such a pity, though i still praise her from the bottom of my heart, because speaking of this reminds me of how fickle and realistic the rest of the world has become. I understand when people get together for company and stuff, to find meaningful relationships and companionship, but of marriage, How many people really understand the meaning of marriage vows when they say it? Have they grown to love each other so much that they really mean to protect, care for, and love the other person no matter what happens in future when they say these vows? For example if he/she becomes crippled, blind, or maybe even a simpler case being unable to provide stature and luxuries? Or do they get married because "the time has come"? Under the circumstances, I'm sure Vivian knows what she's committing to, and why she wants to do it, despite many objections from many others on her decision, which is why my admiration for her can only grow. Seems like marriage for many other people is just a case of "a phase in life", "must accomplish before age of __", and stuff like that... Simply said, it has become rotten. And that makes it sad for idealistic people, because no, for us marriage is about love and care, and the fondness and eternal bond between 2 persons, more when children comes along, of course. Having read Eragon, i wish elven language really exists, for no lies can be said in that form...... Owww, i'm being sentimental again. Back to the next lao chiobu la!! Hahaa :p

Next! Tarsy Su (perhaps better known as Su hui lun). To be honest, i never really was a fan of hers. Might even say i quite disliked her in my younger days cos of songs like lemon tree and duck (Ya zi). Last week, though, i watched her on a variety show "Zhou ri kuang re ye". It was suddenly so nice to hear her singing, and she exudes a charm like never before... Mature, singing voice and body language full of genuine feelings, and stuff that i can hardly describe with my limited range of vocabulary. I guess it helped that 2 of the songs she sang really draws out sentiments in me. Like xiaopang, i wanna put both my hands on my face and let her continue mesmerize and serenade my senses. It's kind of weird that after indulging in the cutesy of the likes of Charlene (of Twins) for weeks, i suddenly find myself drawn to the charm of these more mature ladies. The charisma they exude in such amounts and excess despite their age!! and Who said growing old was bad...!! ;)

Wowww long post after so much silence wor... Hahaha. By the way, i wanna eat my words and declare myself a noob and carrot instead of pro in mahjong... Cos recently seems to keep losing? Hahaha, oh well whatever!! I'm still spending less than i would if i keep going out! :) That's all for now folks~

New Year Mahjong Lesson!!!!

2009-01-01T04:13:00.005+08:00

01 Jan 2009, Thursday

Happy New Year my friends!!!! Wish u all a fruitful and blessed year ahead! :)

Last night, went to Janet's home for New Year's Eve gathering with my ex-project mates from SIM. Was quite a pity that Joey couldn't turn up though cos its just 4 of us in a group, so short of any one would make a big difference. And then Xiaohei.Jac went home quite early after the countdown cos with the guys playing mahjong, only left her and Janet entertaining each other. Haiya, before meeting them, i was expecting to chit chat abit with 3 of them before and after the mahjong sessions lo.

Speaking of mahjong session, really very gek sim wor~~~ Today afternoon was speaking to one of the mahjong pros in my flight, and i learnt a new tip to lose less when u can't win - "if your next ka appears to be playing Qing Yi Se and your own cards sucks, then go on and feed him/her until gao jiong then stop... so that the next 2 ka are not free to play their game, and the game would likely to end inconclusively or someone tiok-bao."

And so the story goes - After a nice steamboat dinner, i played mahjong with Janet's husband and his friends big Jack and small Jack (We were playing 5/1 = 5tai $16/$32), that rate made me feel quite nervous cos seldom play so much. I got off to a good start though, where i had already won games including the only 5 tai so far. So in one of the subsequent games, i decided to try the above mentioned method when my cards were not so nice... This method is actually super effective cos after gaojiong the other 2 ka were complaining and obviously playing guard against my down ka which was big jack. ALAS!!!! Flowers came and my cards became quite nice after I took a few more cards, and after my own 5 tai, i was feeling lucky and couldn't resist the temptation to ride on my luck and play the 12th card although i only had 3 tai... and big Jack really eat it!! Then i really "!!!!". Wasn't expecting him to eat it lo... Was thinking with my winnings so far if i throw to him hu only $64, which means i could afford to play the card to him so that i had the chance to game myself. Wah lau wey who knows he nvr hu at that point but went on to eat liao then after that zi-mo!! =_=''' So i lost $105 in that round instead. After i "lost my luck to him" in this way, big Jack become super wang and in the next game i tiok fang qiang another mixed-colour 5 tai to him. He zi-mo another 4 tai and i also fang qiang to the other 2 kas. Total loss of luck!!! Wah lau wey liddat nia hor my losses had already accumulated to $100+++, i think maybe close to $200 liao. I tiok suan dao siao lo for becoming feeder and shooter... hahahaa :p And they all wanted to become my next down ka. So i kicked myself for being overcomed by the "ex-Jianqi syndrome" and subsequently composed myself and started playing my normal game from our 2nd round onwards, which meant proper guarding and cards forming with very little "Bonuses" for my down ka. Not sure if they realised that though cos their impression of me is already our last time's impression of Jianqi liao, HAHAA :p Oops! Yupz, playing my normal game, i started winning back all the $ and at one point i think i actually overturned the deficit to slight profits. We finished 3 full rounds from 10pm++ to 3am++... At the end of everything though, my end result was a loss of $30 la, but that's very little compared to my initial losses. Just another 4tai hu and i would've fully overturned the deficit. I realise i'm actually quite pro liao... Hur hurr hurr~~~ Lao wang mai gua. Janet's husband broke even, and small Jack lost $120. If only i hadn't killed my luck with that rash action huh... Should have won quite alot lo, hahaha. Well, part of experience la!!!! The above-mentioned method requires one's character and style to be suited for it... And with my "Arsenal" character, i'm definitely not suitable to play it!! So today considered learn alot lo ;)

Now gonna bath and sleep... Later should be going to workplace to settle some unfinished business and maybe join Sheena & Co. for a trip to the science centre! I hope to have fun!! Haha ;)

Meh li quiz mez!!! ;)

25 Dec 2008, Wednesday

Hihi my friends~ Meh li quiz mez!!! ;)

WOWWW it's been a month since my last post? i didn't realise that!! Oh well, hasn't really been fantastic for me anyway...... Especially this week! While seemingly everybody else has had the privilege of being basked in festive mood and happily meeting up family and friends, Yours Monkeyly has had to endure an intriguingly sucky week full of OT. Just look at my work hours for this week!!

Monday - 6:45am to 9:45pm
Tuesday - 6:45am to 7:00pm
Wednesday = X'mas eve - 6:45am to 1pm (That's only after i risked my head to call my superior for permission to get the next shift to come in early... AND to add insult to that everyone else were off for the whole day due to an event they were supposed to attend in the morning but was cancelled due to weather)
Thursday = Today = X'mas - 5:30am to 7pm
Friday = Tmr - 5:30am to god knows what time......
Saturday = 7am to 1pm if nothing suay happens...

Sianzz week lo!!!! All thanks to the stupid audits that's coming to us in early Jan... Kills all the festive mood in us. Dunno who plan this kind of stupid timing to have them... Idiot(s). I'm definitely going to regret missing out on the gatherings with my friends this X'mas...... How the hell do they justify compensating us with only equivalent off days to losing these kind of company with loved ones? Irritating lo.

Hmm hmm but on the plus plus side i got some nice gifts this month! It's pretty rare that i'd get gifts that i really really like... To be honest the only one in my whole life that i can remember being reeeeally happy about was the ukelele!! I guess i'm kind of fussy!

12 Nov 2008, Wednesday

Finally exams are over!! Didn't do as well as i would have loved to...... Put too much time and effort in my Marketing Mix Assignment, i guess? Hmm~~ Got small suspicions that i might fail management paper... OB was quite ok~ But i won't get the As i was hoping for for these 2 subjects after all.. Waste of my reasonably excellent course assignment results!! Oh well~~ at least i know i'll definitely get a bling bling *Distinction* for Marketing Mix Management!!!

By the way, i'm pretty impressed, deeply moved, and inspired by Mr. Obama's campaign message of Hope and change. Here's some extracts of what i caught of his speech on TV around lunchtime on DDay after his victory... i'm able to write these msgs out only because they appeared on the newspapers (and watched youtube) though~!!

"... Change has come to America... ... ... The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America - I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you - we as a people will get there."

"... What began 21months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we see - it is only the chance for us to make that change, and that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were, it can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice. So let us summon a new spirit, a patriotism, a responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in, and work harder, and look after not only ourselves but each other."

"... To those who would tear the world down, we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security, we support you. To those... ... ...we prove once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms, or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our Ideals! Democracy! Liberality! Opportunity! and unyielding Hope!!"

For those interested to listen to his victory speech, here's the link!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jll5baCAaQU
I really think this is good to watch... Hahaa :p

And Really impressed with the graciousness shown between him and Senator McCain.

Next...
They say pictures speak a thousand words. Look at these!!! Very funny and educational pictures...... Hahahahaha :p

射手座

终极分析
乐观与忧愁:
射手座人的内心不是外表看上去那么乐观的,因为喜欢看的远,容易担忧的事情也就多,在他们的字典里,即使现在好,也不一定代表未来好,有时候很多人觉得很好的一个工作或一个伴侣,他们很轻易的就会放弃掉,可能只是因为一个毫不起眼的小原因。所以,这样的外在表现,就让人们觉得他们不喜欢被某件事情或某个人束缚住,追求自由的,没有压力的感觉。

现实:
常说射手座是追求梦想的人,但往往忽略了他们现实的一面,算计起来不会比处女座差哦,只是更高明更隐藏罢了。射手座人的梦想是必须建立在现实的基础上的,一般他们很少谈及自己的梦想,而是实际的去做一些向梦想靠拢的事情。如果可以借巧力完成的事情,决不会多花一点工夫。所以有时候射手座也容易给人耍小聪明的感觉。可是,不得不承认他们完成的还满不错。也许终其一生,他们都在考虑怎么巧妙的做一些事情,花最少的精力去达到最好的效果。所以,很多射手座看上去让人们会觉得很懒,但是其实他们的大脑可没有停下过思考现实的事情。

拒绝低俗:
几乎所有的射手座内心都是骄傲的,其程度绝不亚于狮子座。只不过他们不会显现在脸上,外在的表现总是随和的,恰当的。可是内在有着极强的自尊心,敏感也情绪化。因为射手座人心中是骄傲的,所以他们拒绝低俗,不喜欢任何俗气的、粗鲁的事或人。如果可以,他们希望一切有关的事物,都是优雅的、高尚的,值得品味的。而真正能让他们觉得值得交朋友或谈恋爱的人是很少的,虽然表面上他们是很随和的。

多情:
很多人说射手座多情,尤其是男性。其实在射手座人的心目中,对于爱情确实有理想化的倾向,和他们谈恋爱,是一件高难度的事情。他们非常讨厌俗气的人,所以你不能很物质或喜欢谈钱,但是他们又很现实,所以你不能一文不名,各方面也必须有一定的实力。物质与精神,你必须平衡的刚刚好,才让他们觉得你值得去爱。或者,你有足够的神秘感,可以让他们不知道你的缺点在哪里,而盲目的爱你。一般,当然是没有完美无缺的人的,所以,可能象金牛座这样永远会让射手感觉捉摸不透的闷闷的人,会非常吸引他们;或者象双子那样,足够机智,懂得察言观色,捕捉他们的情绪,才会让他们感觉到爱情的甜蜜。一般射手的感情模式是,第一阶段,你们还不熟悉,他(她)爱上了你,非常热情。第二阶段,你们逐渐熟悉,而他(她)开始龟毛,整天挑剔你的毛病,无论是背地里还是当面。如果你有幸通过他(她)的挑剔过程,基本挑剔出的毛病为零或者你把缺点保密的非常好;那么进入第三阶段,他们就又是忠诚和热情的爱人了。但是基本能通过第二阶段的人非常少,所以有了射手多情一说。其实射手对恋人的挑剔,是源于对爱情的挑剔,对丧失自由感的恐惧。

射手座人的人生,往往是幸运的,因为他们是聪慧的、明朗的、通透的。与众不同,也许是他们终生追求的梦想,希望每一个射手人,可以找到他们的梦想!
人人都说射手座是感情的骗子,对爱情不尊重,只追求片刻的快感,是花心与冲满欲望的象征。朋友们…你们了解射手座最真实的一面吗？

射手座是大孩子,天真与善良,遇到爱情时,可能让人感觉不认真,付出的比谁都少。可是,知道吗？射手座很想爱,却也很怕爱!刚开始他们只是慢慢的付出,谨慎的爱,好怕自己会受伤。可是在一句一句的爱,一天一天的相处下,射手座把带刺的防备丢掉,开始不顾一切的去爱他们所爱的人,在别人眼中,只是射手座为了达到某种目的而作的行动。可射手座不介意,他会在自己幸福的想象中陶醉,希望对方能感受自己的爱,想对方觉得与自己一齐是幸福的。

在射手座爱上了一个人,他会把自己放到最后。有苦自己承担,可能会因为吵了一场小架而不开心,却也是最快认错,无论谁的错,他们都会包容,知道吗？射手座会因为深爱一个人而原谅他的背叛,会因为你的一句话付出很多。他们爱玩,在玩的同时,也希望把那一份好心情带给你,射手座是乐观的。

人们总觉得射手座的世界很快乐,可是呢？射手座难过时没有人知道,他不想让别人可怜自己,射手座不坚强,可是很善良。在你难过时哄你开心,让你有依靠,分手后,他会哭者去想属于你们俩幸福的回忆,也不想爱的人因为同情而勉强和他一齐。他比谁都希望自己爱的人快乐幸福,却常常忽略了自己,全身都是伤也笑着告诉你,我很好不用担心。

在所有人看到他的笑容以为他没事,却不知道失恋对射手座有多大伤害,华丽的外表下有一颗脆弱的需要别人了解和安慰的心。知道嘛？你的一点关心,心思细腻的射手座会记得你对他的好,把自己的爱毫无保留的送给你,射手座是不被了解的,可他们不会怨谁。他们会傻傻的认为,让我承担吧,别让别人也受到伤害。所以,不要让快乐的射手座痛苦,别让他们最有魅力的笑容成为掩饰痛苦的伪装,认真爱射手座。你会知道射手座的爱,是充满泪水的

My love is full of tears~?? Hur hur hurrr~~~ :p

21 October 2008, Tuesday

Was thinking "finally i get a chance to relax" after finishing up 3 out of 4 assignments when...... (Looks at the calendar when at work)
EXAMS IS JUST 2 WEEKS AWAYYYY~~~~~!!!!!! *Panics*
And i've still got another individual assignment on Franchising to finish!!! *Panics again** Help!!

"So what are you doing here when you should be piahing your last assignment now" one might ask. Taking a break la!! Dun be a slavedriver can?!! Hahaa :p

Actually, was going thru my favourited list of websites while taking my break when i discovered this quiz that i got from someone somewhere (forgot who liao... zhaorong issit? hahaa) that i couldn't find time to take last time and forgot about after that. Then from that website i got interested and took a few quizzes instead. Quite interesting wahh~ ;) Here are the results!!

Test 1
Get to know yourself better

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.

I think that's very true... really don't like conflict especially :)
(Turns to friends) Do you agree? Hahaa :p

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Errr... Oei Mister, Hello hello? You got answer the question mehhh~?? I think you read the question wrongly wor. Read again and answer properly la... I'm very curious about this one lei *tsk*

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

Ya ya definitely tat's why some ppl should just shut up and leave it to my own time, opportunity and feelings hehe :) oops no offence

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

No wonder i always like to li-siao my gal friends (but not in the chi ko pek way)

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

So so so so so true~ Got see my msn nick? Hahaa ;) Have been feeling so happy and satisfied and fulfilled ever since i started taking my degree

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.

Ya lo no wonder i signed on. And no wonder i sometimes think of quitting to take my guitar (and maybe other instrument) grades. Feel like teaching music yea~

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

Very scared indeed!! Really ah...... ok lo maybe next year i try...

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

*Nods* Ya lo things that cannot be controlled not scary meh? For example Lehmann brothers kind of things... no? wah kau~
Errr~ Huh? show anger to cover up? *scratch head*, no lei~ if i show anger, it means i'm angry! Not obvious meh?! Hahaa :)

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Ohh ok~ thanks for the enlightenment ^^

Take this test - http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Test 2
Psychological Test

You are easy to understand.
How ambitious you are depends on the height that you answered, which is: Top.
You are opinionated and self-oriented, the size of this personality as seen by others is big.
Diamond means stubborn personality.
You are also down-to-earth.
You are an opportunist.
Your husband or wife is the one you need when you are in trouble.

Ya very easy to understand... but ambitious? hmmmmmmm~~~ opinionated means? self-oriented definitely ya i think so.... down-to-earth uh huh ya ya :) Opportunist, ya lo~~~ all smart ppl are like tat bah? A few friends (for example Marcus) say i'm very gan (cunning), u referring to that mah? hehe :p Yessss definitely, if and when i'm married, tat is... Wahaaa!! ^^

小小 updates :)

2008-10-14T01:20:00.006+08:00

13/14 Oct 2008, Tuesday

It's 1am++ now. Slept at around 7pm to make up for lost sleep from burning midnight oil last night and woke up at 12 midnight just now. Geez~ am i really alive? Waking up at 12 midnight sounds ghastly. Heng the friendly monkey ghost mmaaahhhh~?
(*echoes* mmahh mahh mah......) Muahaha :p

It's been a long time since i've really had the capacity to sit down to write in a relaxed mood like now. Been busy with assignments and stuff. I know NPS fellas would sit up and complain "what about mahjong, huh!?" on this statement, wei~~~ my last 3 mahjong sessions didn't materialise ok!! All cancelled!!! Leaves scars in my heart (hehe) *sobs*

Now that i've got time to think about it, another event i wouldn't have wanted to miss comes to mind - NPS music camp. Well, not that the current music camp would've really interested me, it's missing out the gathering with my-batch-NPS-fellas that's bugging me. Owww~~~ Can remember all the pre-camp KAP outings we used to have and sneaking out and back in to campus via the back gate and smashing kuang with cake and all... so fun!! *scratches itching heart* Suay lorrr assignment deadlines on 10th Oct and 13th Oct respectively haunting me with near sleepless nights for almost a week within the music camp period. I want to go~~~~!!!!! *whines*
Looking forward to Dec chalet camp!!! Hehe :)

Suddenly i think of my calendar of events and wonder "what's with 25th October!!??" *panics* Everything seems to be crammed into one day. Family day + exam revision with Dr. Spandana + meeting "Home alone committee"... HAHA!! I made that name up... i quite like the term though! ;) I'd like to think we'll have lots of fun mingling around and planning for our event, jiayou people!! :)

Just read the individual part-answers from 2 of my grpmates from my Marketing Mix Management module... Really happy with the answers from them. Unlike Management grp assignment where i literally had to do everything myself (ended up doing considerably chin chai for my standards), this assignment should be quite a piece of cake.

And ahhh~ ya... speaking of the management assignment, I actually dreamt about it in my sleep just now! LOL!! :p Hard to explain my dream but it was kind of like the concepts came to me in flashbacks of bits of memory and hyperlinks to other concepts, then to more concepts in 3D mindmap movie format. If i had 1 or 2 more days for this assignment after this dream i think i'd have done a much better job on it. Haiya maybe i should have prepared the capacity to relax my mind somewhere in between. (thinks of missing music camp and squats in the corner and sianzly draw circles on floor with index finger) *back* Well, i guess that's an indication of that i've learned well from this assignment anyway~!! ;)

Suddenly hear this nice and classic song while half watching tv. Very nice and i absolutely love the lyrics! Somemore the duo singing this song started in sentimental mode then turns to rock version in between... super nice!!

我的未来不是梦 - 张雨生

你是不是像我在太阳下低头
流着汗水默默辛苦的工作
你是不是像我就算受了冷漠
也不放弃自己想要的生活

你是不是像我整天忙着追求
追求一种意想不到的温柔
你是不是像我曾经茫然失措
一次一次徘徊在十字街头

因为我不在乎
别人怎么说
我从来没有忘记我
对自己的承诺对爱的执着~

我知道我的未来不是梦
我认真的过每一分钟
我的未来不是梦我的心跟着希望在动
跟着希望在动

Very true hor the lyrics? Exactly my way of thinking! But mine's in a happy and positive way not so tortured as the original lyrics sounds, haha~ :)

Ok must end here liao!! I'm supposed to be doing my Marketing Mix Management assignment now (now = from 1hr ago) *chuckles* Somehow couldn't resist dropping by everyone's blog to tag, then became tempted to write in my own one, hehe!! :p
Ok bye bye liao!! ^^

11 Oct 2008, Saturday

It really helps that i'm not aiming to get v high marks anymore. Why?

Reason number 1: After managing to cheong out the assignment on Recall During Learning by burning midnight oil on thursday night (after drinks somemore), yours monkeyly sensed a stroke coming along (twitching face for one whole week and counting + tense muscles on neck and head) and decided to take time out for good whole periods of rest.

Reason number 2: We're just 1 and 1/2 days away from another group assignment deadline and i haven't received any respectable answers from my groupmates yet - that's not to blame them though~ The reason why this is occurring stems from my incompetency to chase them for answers throughout the weeks we've had to do it + my lack of discipline in churning out the full answers for my parts (tat's y no face chase for ans la!! Hehe!! :p). Where's all the discipline and enthusiasm i've had in term 1!!!??? ahhhhhhhh~~~~~

Reason number 3: I'm enjoying reading through my notes without any fear of not doing well for this assignment - so i just have to add in my points where i deem fit and restructure the answers for logical flow. It makes everything so much simpler!!

Reason number 4: I get to watch tv and all the things i enjoy doing without having to feel guilty or gan jiong for the work that are left to be done~ Wahahaa~~~ :p

P.S. All the xiao peng you out there... don't xue gor gor huh!!! Must study hard!! *chuckles*

Must be a more disciplined, assertive and competent leader next sem!! :)

10 Oct 2008, Friday

For those wondering what i've been up to during the past week, here's a glimpse of what i've been writing for one of my UNICORE module assignments... For those who studied in Ngee Ann Poly, UNICORE modules are kind of like our IS modules, haha!!

Recall During Learning

Introduction
The ability to recall previously learned knowledge facilitates better learning and easier understanding of new subjects. Recalling is therefore crucial to learning. By understanding how the brain recalls during and after learning, effective habits can be shaped and developed to enhance an individual’s information recall ability.

Factors resulting in high recall of information
At the end of a learning period, certain parts of knowledge are more effectively recalled while the rest are considerably forgotten. It is also interesting to note that recall of information gained at the beginning of a learning period is high but can get progressively worse as time goes on. This causes 2 effects to occur in a learning process known as the primacy and......

Quite interesting stuff actually, but it's making my head burst cos i've probably developed too high expectations of myself recently. For one whole bledy week, I keep writing, rereading, shaking my head and deleting what i've written for my assignment because they don't seem to be good enough. Previously, doing well was good enough for me, but suddenly after a bout of good results everyone expects me to get above 80marks for everything, myself included. Gotta change this mindset to make myself enjoy learning again!! :p

The irony of this whole thing is the name of this module........... Learning to learn!! Haha!! ^^

05 Oct 2008, Sunday

I've been horribly lazy for the past week!! Urghhh~~~~~ According to my own schedule (in my brain, hehee), was supposed to have completed 2 out of 4 assignments by today (due 10 oct, 13th oct, 20th oct and 07 nov respectively), but as of now, yours monkeyly hasn't even started on any of them yet! Lots of midnight oils this week, i guess... *sigh* i hope i manage to gather enough resolve to work on them though.

This week after work,
Monday - mahjong with Ed, Jol, Kuang and Hongzhi. Was expecting Liting and Zhaorong to come too but they didn't so it was slightly less re nao than i initially expected... Quite fun la!!

Tuesday - Lessons and nothing else

Wednesday holiday - went to Xiaohei Jacelyn's home to do our online quiz, then met Jason (colleague friend) to pass him the photos for our HK trip and finally ended the day at (colleague friend)Alvin's home for mahjong. *Sigh* Originally planned to reach Xiaohei's home at about 12+, meet Jason at 3.15 and Alvin at 4 but i overslept and spent about an hour trying to burn the photos to dvd *noob* so in the end reached Xiaohei's home at about 2+ and told the rest i'd delay our things by about half an hour (decided not to do my quiz yet). When we'd finished with Xiaohei's quiz, i rushed off to meet jason at about 4pm. Very late liao so had to cab to Alvin's home in the end... Very ex!! And i suffered my first major loss in mths, lost $25! + $19 cab fee (rub salt) *ouch*. Aiya , but we played at a higher rate than usual though so actually quite ok hahaa :p i had fun nevertheless!! :)

Thursday - frantically reading through my notes trying to catch up on everything

Friday - Lessons and (finally) did my Online Quiz.... Did well!! ;)

Saturday - Work and mini gathering at Qimei's home... Originally wanted to jio zhaorong jiaying esther etc they all go too but wasn't sure i could go till the day itself so in the end didn't ask. At the end of the day we were talking about many of the fun things we did and went through last time... So funny!!!! ^^

Sunday - Looks at myself and my accomplishments this week - what the hell!! Only read 3 chapters (out of 12 originally planned) and haven't even started on my assgmts... Time to discipline myself!!! *Cane* *Cane* Today must work hard!!!

Mahjong session starts 7pm tmr my friends =_=''' (Wahahaa :p)
Shall write about other things rather than myself when i have more time!!! ;)

Updates!! Sep 2008!! :)

28 Sep 2008, Sunday

WOWWW, i only remembered i had a blog today, since the last time i'd blogged, cos i saw zhaorong's new blog! Then see fishy's complaint, feel so paisay!! cos i'm 3 weeks late to respond!!! :p

End August - can only remember the disappointment with virtuoso concert from NPS. Poor flow of events, playing time almost equivalent set-up time, emcees who are blur like sotong and don't even know which songs are which and didn't even bother to know how to pronounce Mr. Alex's full name before the concert, which suggests they'd done none rehearsals together. I think they should go back to LT26 for their performances la...... This is the first time we've had performer's friends shouting "encore!!" and alumnis echoing "don't want la!". Can imagine how bad the performance was? Hahaa :p Feel so sorry for Xiang Xiang who's improved TREMENDOUSLY!! We were super impressed with her lo... She's exuding such class in her own cello playing and yet the rest of everything was so disappointing.

Very very eventful September 2008 for me!! It started with my Hong Kong trip from 3rd to 7th Sep... Quite a number of complaints about the trip at first but thinking back, was actually quite enjoyable la!! Hong Kong is a nice place to shop and shop...!! ;) Too bad my colleague friends whom i went for the trip with aren't those who really like to take candid photos lo, so my photos are basically alot of self-taken ones. Only ONE group photo amongst my photos... can u imagine that!!?? Hahaa :p Then there were two irritating incidents - one with a rude tourist trying to cut queue and another rude waiter who really sparked an unnamed fury in us. But oh well, Particularly enjoyed my time there doing shopping, playing in macau (the casinos are huge and grand and beautiful!!) and the ocean park.

Hmmm one small follow up from my last blog, was absolutely right about my 2nd batch grpmates! Nice ppl to work with and we're absolutely comfortable working with each other. One of them we outcasted, cos he literally didn't attempt to put in any effort into our work and It's funny, cos xiaohei jacelyn feels more like our 4th grpmate. The other 2 girls Joey and Janet i really *applaud* *applaud* *applaud* them cos they've family and kids to handle, on top of all the work and assignments that we have! ;) Our rapport is such that we all still meet up to do our quiz and assignments together even though we are no longer in any same classes.

After Hong Kong it's assignments assignments assignments all the way and i have come to the end of my first term!! 13th Sep weekend was spent with Saturday on duty from 5.30am till 7pm and Sunday KTV with Joey Janet and Xiaohei + dinner and bowling with Esther Dejun Weiling and Licong. Last week 21st Sep weekend was super tiring with very little sleep for me cos had events plus term 1 assignments due. 21st Sep Saturday, i met up with Joey Janet and Xiaohei to have our video recording done. Originally expected us to finish within 2 hrs but turns out we ALL needed to continue working on our powerpoints and speeches so from 2pm dragged all the way till midnight and then i cheonged home to watch Arsenal match without doing my video recording. It was fun disturbing them during the recording process though!! Hehee :p Slept at close to 4am and woke up about 7am+ on the morning of 22nd Sep sunday to go east coast park for my flight's keep fit morning exercise event. Rollerblade till 11am+, then went Alvin's home for mahjong till 9pm+ then cheong home with Kuang to do my video recording due next day. Haha!! :p Hahahaa damn funny lo the recording process!!!

First we moved one of my tables from my bro's rm to my rm. then we positioned it ON my bed (cos i needed the background). Next, we shifted a shelf or whatever u call it plus a cd rack on top of it for positioning the camera, and stacked chairs and tables to position the laptop right below the camera so i could read my prepared but un-memorised speech. And then i was wearing a shirt on top and looking all formal in the camera but wearing only shorts underneath... Hahaa!!! :p

Then there were all the NGs we had... One of which i will never ever forget because out of the 19 slides of speech i had prepared, i was already going into number 16th when... *water flushing sound from toilet* ... (Heng continues to speak for 3 - 4 seconds then... Bursts out laughing!!!) JI DAN!!! NG for nothing!!!!!!!! Imagine the lecturer looking and listening to the video and hearing the flushing sound!! Luckily no such things in my final recording lo!!!

Ended the recording and my day at about 3am+ feeling super tired and i had wake up at 5+ to go to work cos i'd specially asked my colleague to let me do his duty for monday so i could go for and leave work early to go submit my assignment in hard copy cd. Less than 3hrs sleep/night for consecutive 2 days!!! And of course also little sleep on the days before that though not as cham... Abit huo gai la cos i slotted in all the play and socialising despite the amount of work left to be done, Hahaa :p Have to la!!!!! Like i say, family and friends vs learning vs work, family and friends comes first!! ;)

26th Sep 2008, Friday
A typical normal day with lessons at the end of the day. Still, joined Alvin (Airforce colleague friend) and his friends Yingjie, Shan, Jolene & Leonard for KTV... and one of them is super cute!! Would describe her as someone who's got needles in her backside cos she never manages to keep still. One moment she's chitchatting here, the other she's hopped across the room to play and enthusiastically take photos (busily changing poses) with her jiemeis and the next she's gone to the toilet and comes back in with a pose. Hahaa!!!! cute and bubbly lo :p And she is a powerful drinker. And she plays mahjong...!! Perfect!! That's the kind of girl i think guys should go for~!!! Think she would suit Alvin just fine hahaa ;) If i remember correctly i mentioned something about the female version of me in one of my earlier blogs... Here got one la!!! Wahahaa!!! Very nice to know there's still girls like this around!! :)

Now going into the 4th/3rd week of the 2nd term and i am busy like hell with the assignments. Only just managed to finish 2 assignments last Sunday and thursday respectively, and there's another 4 more (2 grp and 2 individual) to finish along the way + exams on the 1st 2 weeks of Nov. Just did another quiz yesterday (27th Sep saturday) with Joey Janet and Xiaohei at Janet's home. So far getting 80s and 90s for my assignments and quizzes so can consider doing quite well bah!! :) Feeling really satisfied with the learning curve and happy with myself so far!!

Updates!! ;)

14 Aug 2008, Thursday

I'm back!! Thanks to sweetie Jin's complain~~~ Hehee :p

Well well~ this goes wayyyyyyy back!!! Missed out on writing soooo many things which i felt alot for, like when Spain won Euro'08, wooooohooooooooooooo!!!!!! That made me so happy because having watched some of their friendly matches BEFORE the tournament started, i'd confidently commented on my support and liking for the playing style of these 2 teams, only to meet condemning retorts from some of my colleagues and friends who'd laughed them off as quarterfinal teams. HAHAA!!! Look who's laughing now~? i do feel sorry for their pockets though (i really do!!!) Alright it's abit silly to start bragging now after the tournament seems so long gone and when all the euphoria and excitement's about the Olympics... So let's move on! ;)

Next, lots of mahjong sessions happenings with many high points to talk about but which i guess i should skip talking about already~ Then of course NPS fellas, we had our Tioman holiday trip and BBQ outing... Uh huh!!!!!! The BBQ!!! Wahahaaaa i'd booked a pit so far from where ppl normally drop off from (Mac) that many of them had to walk 1hr - 2hrs to reach our pit... i got scolding from many of them lo!! PAISAY LA ok hehee only left those few pits and i booked the pits weeksss in advance already!! And wonder whyyyyyyy marcus and jinwen (and maybe many others) seriously thought i was bluffing when i told them we'd have 20++ ppl joining us... Wah lau!!! BUT what's really worth mentioning was the preparations... Was really proud of the food i'd prepared (alone!!)!! Especially the "mixed satay", damn nice!! Planned and bought and marinated all the food myself with some help from mum, and of course Hongzhi and Liting help me with the "mixed-combo satay" comprising of sausages pineapples cuttlefish balls prawn balls qingjiao mini-tomatoes etc, which was really really really nice looking and delicious as well!!! Those satays made me really really really proud lo! hahaa ^^v Yeah and there's the mushrooms and pork (oops! not halal!) and etc as well!

Yup, up next... school's started again for me! So far, my classes have been really interesting and fulfilling... Quite tiring with work and lessons plus projects but still fun nonetheless! And i've still managed to continue with my occasional mahjong sessions somehow~ hahaa!! :p

Just met my new 2nd project teammates of 4 for the first time today (we formed up online via discussion board + email) and i'm really really glad to find that they're all jovial, chitty chatty and nice ppl!! Abit sayang la cos today there was another 2 girls who needed 2 people to join them and they were quite cute and pretty~ But i think i've found the most suitable teammates la!!! Think will have fun doing project with them lo ;)

Hmmm i've still missed out alot, but stop here for now bah!! :)

23 June 2008, Monday

WOWWW!!!!!!!!!! i haven't written for the whole month???? Wahahaa~ Didn't realise tat sia~ :p

Ok~ thinking back now it's not really surprising cos basically i've been up to almost nothing at all this month!! So nothing really worth updating, hehee :p I'm living like a hermit cos of 2 reasons!!!! Lots of my friends were having or had exams coming up from mid-May till mid-June, so instead of activities outside, i decided to pepper my life with indoor activities like reading and watching tv. I bought 3 sets of chinese novels at one go la!! So stayed home alot or sometimes went downstairs for some suntan while reading. Luckily for me, pleasurable distraction soon came in the form of.... EURO2008!!!!!! Wooohoooooooo~!! I watched almost every single match!!!! And this year's EURO2008 has been quite satisfying and enjoyable to watch so far, save for a few boring matches like France vs Romania, the teams either played breathtaking football or, in the case of some matches, the underdogs fought hard and there were plenty of goalmouth action or, some games had more unexpected twists and turns than 3 movies added up! Really entertaining stuff!! ;)

Last weekend was the most satisfying i've had for weeks. Met up with a total of 18 follow ex-NPS fellas on saturday la!!! Started the day having bread and tea while waiting for the first batch of KTVers @ Marina Square GV cinemas. Supposedly, we wanted to get our movie tickets before singing klunch so that we could watch the movie directly after tat but...... I'm the only one who arrived early!!!!!!!! Wah lau~!! The world is turning upsode down!! Hahahaa... Wah~ Buay tahan lo~~~ Seeing as it was already 11am, i abandoned the cinemas to queue up at kbox instead while waiting for the rest. Wowww ppl singing klunch is ALOT. The queue is like the taxis at Changi airport!! Ok i'm exaggerating abit, but tat's the idea la, hahaa :p So sang k with Hongzhi Liting Sio Marcus Yuhang Peiyu Jianqi and Dejun for the next 3 hrs and it was very shiok~ While we were singing i cancelled the planned Evening activity @ East Coast for the movie instead cos not everyone of us were keen on the idea. After kbox, hanged around the shopping centre while waiting for the rest to join us. For the record, those who joined us later were Zhaorong Jiaying Yueying Kelvin Edward Jolene Weiling Licong and Jonathan. After the movie we had supper together and that was it for the day with them... So nice meeting everyone again lo!! ;)

After supper, went home, washed up and waited for Edward to come a visiting. We watched the EURO2008 quarter-finals together! ARGHHHHHH to think that the 1 of 2 teams that i supported since before the tournaments didn't perform up to expectations and crashed horribly out of the competition... Holland!!!!! Wah lauuuu~~~~ why u like that~~~~ *Heng flips flips and dies on the floor for a few mins after writing the above* So disappointing lo........ But Russia played great attacking football so i guess they're worthy successors to the "attacking team to advance" tag. Still, i'd wish for my team 2 of 2 - Spain - to put the last of the bullets in that Russian Roulette back in the heads of the Russian team!! Hahaa :p Having said tat, if the Russians continue to play so attractively it'll be against my principle to not support them all the way... Pity that so many pure attacking-styled teams were grouped such that they had to meet so early in the tournaments lo.

After the match, Ed went off and i continued watching tv till about 7am... then went to sleep till 11+. Met up with Ed again at lakeside MRT at 12noon, then with Peiyu and Jianqi @ Causeway Point at 12.30pm. We had lunch and then..... MAHJONG~!!!! Wahahaaa~ So shiok to touch the Mahjong tiles again after a few weeks!!! Absolute Adrenaline rush lo~~ Was the sole winner for the first round but almost didn't win at all for the 2nd. Ended the day with about $38 for winnings~ compensation for the other times tat i lost! Haha :p

Shiok Weekend!!!! Before i end...
I'm planning a BBQ on 5th July!!!!!!!! ;)

19 April 2008, Monday

Was having another mahjong session with Edward & Co. at Jolene's home when Sheena reminded me that i haven't blogged for ages.... Basically didn't come online much in recent months and especially for the past 2 weeks cos both my brothers have been vying for the use of my laptop all the time... didn't want to 上演三國演義 at home la~!!! Hehee :p

Hmmm, start from 03 May bah. Tat day, went to East coast with NPS fellas for skating/cycling... Sio is back!!! ;) Sounds good huh... probably should organise a bbq soon, hehe.

04 May - Mahjonging again, at Sheena's home. Just Jianqi Peiyu Sheena and me, played till about 7pm, then cheong-ed home to watch soccer.

05 May to 09 May after work - practised guitar lots lots!! ktv on wednesday with my colleague-friends, and mahjong on thurs.

10 May - Mahjong with Ed Jol and Jianqi @ Jol's home... Last min arrangement!!! Hahaa~ Changed a dripping tap in my bathroom to a new one... Took me just about all of 10 or 15mins to gather the tools required and finish the job, and to think mum almost wanted to employ someone to do it!! It not only pays to have a lame son for a few occasional laughs... but also a handyman one~~ My mum is lucky!! I'm both!!!! Wahahaa~~~ :p

11 May - stayed home and started reading one of my old chinese novels again... Watch soccer at night... very last of the season's English Premier League matches!!

12 May to 16 May - On noon shift duty in base everyday from 3pm to 12midnight/when airfield closes... still managed to go for skating on thurs night with my colleague friends cos was released from duty early!!! Had an adhoc-ed dinner cum supper with Wanling on Friday too, hahaa :) Always enjoy having nice little chats with my close friends! I've stopped practising guitar though... Wah lau~

17 May - Tried to organise another adhoc mahjong session but failed... played abit of soccer instead

18 May - Mahjong at Jol's home with Ed Jol Jianqi Peiyu Sheena and later J.Poh... Played till midnight then went for a little run + chin ups + sit ups + push ups... Got a couple giggling at me at the fitness corner!! Wah lau!!! Then washed up and went to bed... Slept like a pig after tat!!! ;)

19 May - Today!!! Feels like a Sunday man... Originally wanted to go East coast for some light skating and sun-tanning but woke up quite late so decided to finish reading my chinese novel instead... So went downstairs for sun-tan while reading it... 1 stone 2 birds~ i'm slightly darker now!! YAY!!! :)

Anyway, i happened to come across this story just now, think it's a rather good one... Read!! :)

A Lesson on Bad Temper

There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.

When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out, it won't matter how many times you say 'I'm sorry,' the wound is still there.

A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

02 May 2008, Friday

Feeling very contented now!! Haven't felt so contented for ages le!! Hahaa

Yesterday, invited Kuang, Wanling, and 2 of my colleague friends Alvin & Jimmy to my home for mahjong. Was supposed to start at 11am but Jimmy reached a little earlier than 10am, so we went to dabao brunch to my home to satisfy our stomachs before the game. I had yummy roti pratas and tou huay and tou huay zhui!! :) Jimmy was commenting happily about having a big "cai tao"(wanling) to "tok"... But end up... ... ... Wanling won a total of $50 from us at the end of the day la!!!!!!!!!! Wahahaaa~~~ Clown la this Jimmy!!!! :p

Basically was a typical fun mahjong day for me, but with an extra whiff of warmth than usual cos Mum was sooooo happy to have Wanling visiting us. Hahaa aiyooo~ but can't blame her la, she has absolutely adored Wanling since day 1!! Yours monkeyly me myself earned some cold hard stares from mum *shing!! Shing!!!* when Wanling (who insisted on doing the dishes despite mum protesting and trying to coax & drag her away from the wash basin) was doing the dishes after our meals... Hey!! You're not supposed to do the dishes!! Hahaa :p But thanks for being so nice :)

Feels great to have my best friends visiting, especially Kuang and Wanling, cos mum's always particularly warm & nice to them!!! Drop by more often u 2!!!!! Hehee :)

Today at work, was also an enjoyable day. Can't really remember the details... Only remember we all laughing throughout the day for some small little silly funny things here and there la. After 2 days such as yesterday and today, and tmr being saturday (Planned!!! Skating at East Coast!! And Mahjong on Sunday!!!!), who can blame me for feeling so happy and contented now lei???? Hahaa :)

BUT!!! From experiences, big "storms" normally awaits after having this kind of contented feeling... So better not wallow myself in this happy feeling...... Ya? ;)

End here for today~

21 April 2008, Monday

I hope my friends aren't getting me wrong, while i'm so-called re-motivated once again to dating and relationships after so long, i'm not horribly desperate to be in one lei! Hehee :) Let nature take its course lo~ my chance could come when school starts for me again in July when i get to know new faces, i guess, so in the meantime i'm not particularly fussed over any of these issues... In any case, who knows, i might end up being single all my life and that's no big deal, cos i'll have all of u with me thru my life anyway(i hope la)! Wahahaaa~ ;)

Had a boooooooorrrrrrrrrrrriiiing weekend over the last few days... Stayed home for both days... Yucky yucky~

Saturday - was supposed to be meeting some of my friends for movies somewhere west side but then the venue, people attending & time wasn't confirmed all the way till the whole thing was cancelled... =_=''' everybody thought somebody else was supposed to organise!!! Wahahaaa how dumb~~~ Should've met other friends for their bbq la~ Too bad one event's in the east and the other was (supposedly) in the west!! I guess it was my destiny to stay home and watch Arsenal TRAMPLE Reading to pieces in a not-so-significant-anymore premier league match... But Brilliant!!! How nice to see Arsenal playing that kind of exciting football again!! Really pleased la!!! :)

Sunday - continued reading (started reading on and off from a weekday) from one of my brother's old Reader's Digest Special Editions book. As each of these books consists of 4 stories specially selected and edited by Reader's Digest, I wonder if it's pure coincidence, or god's will, or whatever... I just happened to start on the 2nd story of this book right after finishing my last blog last friday. Title's "Then Came Heaven". The story starts in this small religious town... A (near perfect) woman dies leaving her husband and kids, and in the end he finds love again, kind-of thru god's will (as the story supposedly implies). Lovely little story :) I think god wants me to fall in love again, hehee :p Aiyo look at me... this is not something to be "hehee"ed about. Whoever's reading this, forget this paragraph and refer back to the first!! ;)

Hope to have a better & more exciting "next weekend" though!!! ^~^

18 April 2008, Friday

Just took my IPPT for this year on Thursday. Did quite well considering the only exercise i've had for the past 1 or 2 mths was a little light running last thursday midnight - clocked 10min 46s for 2.4km run. Aiya should've been abit more serious so that maybe can get gold... only need to clock under 10mins to achieve that (Cat Y!!!) Hahaa :p Wasn't expecting tat kind of timing due to lack of training so didn't piah at all. But still, can't help feeling that age is catching up with me, cos 10yrs ago could always easily complete that distance in just a little over 9mins. I should exercise more, waahaaa~ 27 le!!!

Recently, things seem to be getting a little plain for me~ plain as in 很平淡 la!
Weekdays after work - wash up, have dinner, switch on tv, becomes couch potato till sleep.. Or sometimes might stay back to play pool in our mess with my colleagues friends before carrying out the above mentioned routine. I really miss playing soccer, but abit difficult to find ka nowadays

Weekends abit more satisfying~ Normally would meet friends for mahjong or sing k or watch movies. But starting to get bored with that too cos becoming quite a routine... Though it's hard to say mahjong is not fun la!! Wahahaa~

Would still prefer to be doing a little something different sometimes though~ Was chatting about this with my colleague friend and he reckons it's high time for me to get myself a gf... Yupz dating again sounds nice, any nicey girls wanna intro me anybody? Wat kind of girls i like lei... Hmm... in terms of appearance, petite and cute (but not too small la). Other things lei~ Prefer someone really Lively, active, playful, talkative, considerate, a little bit 撒嬌ish sometimes, cheerful and... smart!! Wahahaa :p The "can laugh loudly anywhere" and expressive type la! Basically quite the female version of myself huh, Hahahahaaa :D 老王買瓜~ And Yea no kidding i like really smart girls!! Talk like real huh but where to find such nice girls who are still single & unattached lo wahahaa~ I think i'm being too picky!! (^-^)

Still, no chemistry = no relationship!! ('-^)

BUT in case any of u out there knows someone like this... intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me wahahaaa :p

Ok besides getting more interested in relationships again after 1 and 1/2 years there's something else on my mind that's really important to me... I WANNA LEARN HOW TO SPEAK CANTONESE!!! Wonder how best i can learn it lei? Anybody wanna teach me? Hahaa ;)

Ok shall stop writing here for today!! :)

Awww~ Cowy u make me miss Alex so much.
For all NPS guitarists, if you haven't already read it yourself
http://stupid_cowy_02.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Only NPS guitarists would understand, la, i think :)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Mr Alex
I wish for your good health
I thank god for letting me meet you at some point of my life
because we once crossed paths but nvr met at that time

I thank you for the love and passion for music that you have in such abundance
for the love and passion in music that you have opened our hearts to
for all the different kinds of music and detail that you had taught us to appreciate
and for all the magical pleasures of playing and listening to music, that you had shared with us...

Earlier today, I read a cow's blog about you
i closed my eyes in search of hidden memories
i remembered, i saw,
this old man sitting in front of us behind a desk
this talkative man, reminiscing his past to us
or talking about the origin of a piece of music
or looking at a music score, clapping his hands in rhythm
and singing "di di di di~" when conducting us
laughing heartily with pleasure whenever we manage to play a particularly enjoyable song

i remember us amused, laughing, while this indian old man
wearing colourful socks with musical notes imprints
thrilled us and played songs like "月亮代表我的心" to our amazement

I remember this old man we all respect so much
with his eyes closed, in hard concentration, playing the guitar
while the rest of us, we sat listening, eyes on him
pleasantly surprised at the music we were hearing from him
our hearts filled with admiration, sometimes in awe, sometimes disbelieve, thrilled, enthralled
looking at one another, and thinking
"this song can be expressed like that?! Wow!!"

I remember myself learning all the guitar parts for our practice songs
suddenly i could appreciate what every guitar part had to offer to a piece of music
then i sat in his position
and conducted group practices when he was not around
proclaiming myself as "Hengbisheganaden"
i could feel my every cell in sync with each vibration of the music
i sang or played or clapped along while the rest played their parts
i talked crap and joked with the rest
and i really enjoyed myself!
And all that, i learned from you

For all those happy memories
for all the pleasures and magic of music we had learned to appreciate from you
for the everlasting love and passion for music that you have instilled in us
for all the warmth and happiness you had given me, given us
for every single note of music we had learnt to express from our hearts the way u do
and for being my music santa claus
With all my heart, i wish to say

THANK YOU
We love you, Grandpapa music-santa ;)

The Leap Years

2008-03-23T00:24:00.003+08:00

22 Mar 2008

Watched this movie today!! Some say it's quite ok only, some say it's really nice. Hmm~ i think it's really nice!! I guess it's nice for people who's really sensitive and sentimental ba~ waahaaa~ :)

First thing i wanna mention about the movie is... the part where they said something like "it takes a lot of courage to stay single for so long waiting for the right person to come along and not get into a relationship for the sake of getting into one". Not sure what's the exact phrase, but remember myself mentioning this same theory to someone or some people quite some time back!! Few months ago ba... can't really remember when or who but i definitely definitely had mentioned it before... Hahaa~ These words are so true!!

Feb 29th... what an extraordinary day it is~ feels even more so to me as i've learnt about the culture of the "having to accept a girl's proposal" much earlier on, before i watched the movie. The version i heard of is not merely a fine, but "bad luck for 4 years" if you dun accept the proposal though!!! Much more scary huh~~~ Wahahaa :p

What do i like about the movie ne...? The parts with Li Ann and her mum... Speaking in a mixture of cantonese and english. These scenes emit so much natural warmth and bond between mother and daughter...... The scenes where Li Ann was with her gal pals...... So funny and heartwarming!!! ^^ And also the last part where KS was reading Jeremy's letter... Touching!! Some people say the plot is really predictable... But still, i really like the movie cos there so many scenes which really touched my heart. Like i say... A movie for the sentimental people la!!! ;)

Half thinking i might get the DVD for keeps and maybe after re-watching it, edit this post to make it a much more justifiable one for this movie!! :)

I really wish that i'd watched the movie earlier on as previously planned with u should know who u are earlier on though

"O ........... K"

Irritating day today :s

15 Mar 2008, Saturday

Originally, post number 99 was meant to be more sentimental, lots about my memories. The past few rainy days had brought back so many memories and sentimental feelings to my mind and heart. I wanted to write about how much i missed some people, how much i wish to wake up one morning finding myself in those times again... How much i loved those times and people. Alas!! It was not to be!!!! BECAUSE OF TODAY!!!!!

Was actually looking forward to today since last week...
Originally plans for today:
12noon - 6pm --> Mahjong with colleagues
7.30pm - 9.30pm --> NTU Guitar Concert with NPS fellas
11pm - whatever time --> KTV with NPS fellas

Whole day of fun planned!! Had found myself in a super good mood since wednesday.
Who knows, who knows who knows... Something happen yesterday and we had to work OT, and also go back to work today. Originally was forecasted that we'd only need to work till about lunchtime... BUT!!!! Who knows who knows who knows who knows who knows...... We were told to wait for a sample to reach us for some testing, waited and waited and waited and waited and waited for the whole day long, waited till i had to give the concert a miss. Called some of the NPS ppl to see if i could give them my ticket, but those who wanted to go had all already bought their tickets!!! Sigh~ wasted.

7:45pm
Just when i thought things couldn't get any worse, we received a phone call from the other workcentre informing us that they couldn't send us the sample today anymore as they'd discovered another problem. WTF!!!!!!! Means all that wasted time and wasted ticket and wasted fun ALL for nothing!!! Sibeh dulan... But also bobian, cheong home to bath and have dinner and wait for kuang they all to call me after the concert see where we going. Can still go ktv!! :)

9pm
Finished dinner, washing up and changing. Read newspaper, played handphone games, watched abit of tv... ... ... Looked up to see the time 10pm++... ??? How come no news from them yet sia... Thought the concert ends 9.30pm? So smsed them, after which, received their call telling me they were waiting for sheena. More ????? appear in my head... Huh? Was thinking can go sing first mah, since night ktv normally starts 11 or 11.30pm. So said ok, once ready to go, call me. But after hanging up the phone suddenly feel very tired from today's work and abit of frustration..... More waiting, after all the waiting in the day. REALLY!! Know whatever happened today was not anybody's fault.. but really cannot tahan liao. Aiyah dun want to wait liao la~

Stay home instead to watch Arsenal vs Middlesbrough!!, Hahaa :p

Suay like shit today la
God damn it
Allah Damn it
Guan Yin Niang Niang damn it

I still wish i'd written something more sentimental and meaningful for post number 99

Had a number of activities going on, beach soccer, beach volleyball, some kind of "Gladiator" game, Girls dressed and dancing in Hawaiian style, Whole tables of coconut for us to pick and drink anytime,free airbrush body painting (like, temporary tattoos la, i got myself a really nice phoenix double-coloured "tattoo"!!! ^^), and finally a big feast (grilled beef, lamb, chicken, ham, prawns, fried rice, western style soup, salad, etc etc!!!) and some interesting programmes, games and singing/dancing and stuff.

Then there was this segment where we had this "Ah Kuah" emcee,and he/she was really funny!! And the (real) girl dancers are so chio~~~ Waahaaa~ :p

We've gone into the last day of CNY as i'm writing now, the past 2 weeks were really enjoyable and eventful! All the visits to homes of my friends, yours as well, and i had NPS fellas visiting my home too.. All the mahjong-ing and "tuan-yuan-ing" and noise!! Really love tat feeling... Hahaa! And guess what? I'd actually bought myself a set of mahjong and mahjong table last weekend and i'm still feeling happy about it now, hahaha~

Then at work, there's all the New Year celebrations and dinners and toto Angpaos and stuff... And i went for this Outstanding Serviceman of the Year award that i was nominated to get interviewed for... I didn't manage to win the award though!! Probably am just the worst of the best, hahahaa :p

I also managed to get free tickets to a preview of an airshow, that's planes doing flying stunts formations and stuff, it was quite nice but sadly due to weather they didn't appear to have done a full-fledged performance.. Pity la!! So many things of the past 2 weeks on my mind now!! Gotta stop writing now though cos soccer match's gonna start in a moment, Make sure you write back with a nice long account of your life there huh!!! Waahaaa~ :p

Keep in touch!! ^^
Yours Monkeyly!! :)

Recovery Time~!!

21 Jan 2008, Monday

HahA~!! Finally decided to post an update after 10 days of my Lasik Surgery!!

I have PERFECT EYESIGHT now!!! (i think so la) YAY!!! :)

no more speckies~

no more contact lenses~

no more dry eyes!!! :)

Went for my lasik for both my eyes on 11th Jan 08, which is last last fri from date of this post. Was rather excited about it for over 2 weeks before the op~ Have suffered quite abit though!!

About my surgery (epi-lasik), it lasts less than 5 mins for each eye. First the doc uses some fluid to numb the eye abit, then asks to focus at a red light, uses something to suck up the cornea (i think) where everything goes black for a while. From here, machine takes over and eyesight correction was done with the laser burning off a portion of the cornea above the eye pupil, 3 phases of burning from which i could smell chaotah (burnt) smell. After that the doc removes the dead skin and flushes the eye and puts on a bandage lense (just some kind of contact lens la) to protect the eye. Tadah!! Same procedure is then repeated for the other eye~ After tat, the assistant sticks another ugly protective cover over my eyes... URGHHH~~~

After the surgery, straight away took cab home where everything looked bright and was abit difficult to open the eyes.

Day 1 (Fri)

Reached home from the surgery. Vision still abit blur... Arghh~~ Not much pain though~ Troublesome though~ Have to drip sterilising eyedrops every 3hrs to prevent infection for first week, every 4hrs for 2nd week onwards for a month. Here's how i looked with my protective cover!!

Had to wear this thing for the whole day on fri!!! And also before sleep every night for the first week before!! WAH LAU

Day 2 Saturday
Ouch~ Ouch~~ Woke up with clearer vision but everything still looks bright and my eyes are abit pain. Not easy to keep eyes open. Took cab to my eye clinic for my first eye evaluation and kenna shoot by doc for not using the lubricating drops. WAH LAU the label says "use when necessary" only mah~~~ After tat, cab back home again... Must avoid crowds so bobian... Gotta stay away from all kinds of smoke la fumes la E.G. cigarette smoke car exhaust fumes and even perfumes which can cause infection to the recovering eyes. Bored for whole day~~ Can't watch tv, can't use computer, can't read. Played guitar for a while... Got bored really quickly!! So..... Hahaa~ aiya heck~ put on my sunglasses and started watching tv and using my laptop in the evening. Watch soccer with much difficulty cos eyes starting to feel more pain.

Deciding to stick my protective cover in another way instead~

Day 3, Sunday
OUCH OUCH OUCH~~~ Immediately regret watching tv and etc the day before cos eyes super pain. OUUUCCCHHHHH!!!!! Whole day of suffering~~~ But still too bored... So read books for the whole day.

Day4, Monday
Aiyo eyes still blur... how how how
Continue reading for whole day~ Hahaa

Day 5, Tuesday
Eyes still blur, reckon it might be because of the bandage lenses. Woohooo0~ Going to have them removed next day... Looking forward to clear vision after tat!!

Day 6, Wedesday
Took Bus 502 to eye clinic this time... Had bandage lenses removed (Burning sensation!) and...
Eyes still blur blur... Siao Liao!!! =_='''
Still read books whole day too anyway

Day 7, Thursday
Back to work with eyes still abit blur~ Quite a relak day but sianz~~ Start watching tv programmes again lo~~ Yippee~~~ :)

Day 8, Friday
Woohooo0~!!!!!! Clear Eyesight!!!!! ^^
Watch TV programmes!! Yay~
No more wearing of protective cover at all!!! YAY~!!!

Day 9, Saturday
Played mahjong at colleague's home then met Kuang Qimei Zhaorong Xiaohei at Jurong Point where we had a really nice time reliving nice memories and suaning Xiaohei~ Hahaa!! :)

Day 10, Sunday
Rested home whole day and... Read books!!!
Become habit liao!!! =.='''

Eyesight still great!! :)

Made 3 Birthday Wishes on my Birthday last month... Here's the first one came true!! ;)

Bye Bye Specs~ Bye Bye contact lenses!!! :)

2008-01-10T23:06:00.000+08:00

10 Jan 2008, Thursday

Going for my Lasik Surgery tmr!! So soooo looking forward to it.... Hope nothing goes wrong!! In the meantime i'm practising throwing my specs away after the surgery *fling fling my specs* ... Hahaha~ :p No la~ on 2nd thoughts, maybe keep as souvenir~

Come to think of it, have been wearing specs since i was in Primary One... That means i have worn specs for 20 years alrdy!!!

One last Ah Wang pic with my specs on~!!! ^^

Bye Bye Specky~ I won't miss you~~~ Hahaa :p

Oh by the way, anybody using -4.50 or -4.75 or -5.25 contact lenses? Cos I've still got quite a number of those dailies left... So can get them from me!! Just drop me a msg if you want them ok!! :)

Happy X'mas!! ;)

26 Dec 2007, Wednesday

Had a really Happy X'mas this year! ;)

Original Plan for X'mas Eve:
0800 - 1300hrs - Work
1300 - 1400hrs - wash up, prepare to go out
1400 - 1900hrs - shop for gifts
1900 - 2100hrs - meet NPS fellas
2100 - Morning - play mahjong wif Kuang's colleagues
Christmas day - Sentosa with NPS fellas

Didn't quite turn out the way i'd planned at all!!

Worked half day on X'mas Eve... supposedly should be quite a relaxing day at work, but who knows, some auditors decided to come visiting our section on this day, so was actually quite a nervous morning~ Great that everything turned out well though!

After work, rushed home... Was still feeling tired from last weekend's "2 day Mahjong tour" at sheena's, so ended up succumbing to the temptation of having a short nap instead of going for some last min X'mas shopping to get some pressies for the guys/gals. Arghhh~~~ Didn't get anything for them... *guilty*. I got some nice pressies from some really sweet people this month!! For my birthday and for X'mas, great haul~!! *feeling more guilty*

After napping for about 2 hrs, i dragged myself out of bed, had a gooood looooong bath, then set off to meet NPS fellas for dinner. To which i found out, they'd changed plans! So instead of having dinner first, we went to Settler's Cafe directly... Arghhh~~~ Hungry man = X'mas eve Heng!! The only things i'd eaten for tat day... nasi lemak for breakfast followed by the little things served at Settler's. No more... Thinking of it makes me hungry now!! (Grabs Cheese Steak burger bought earlier on at Subway *munch* Yummy~)

At Settlers, we played a few games before i decided to intro them a game called "Citadels". I have this game at home!! Bought it after coming across it months ago... Really nice game and they all loved it too!! And i can never forget the round where sheena Licong and me got fed up with the "King" and sent out threats to anyone who dared to choose the character for the next round... Laughed like hell when everyone didn't dare to choose the character after tat!!! Muahaha :p Ended up we all decided to go home grab our stuff to meet up at Sheena's home for further gaming and before going to Sentosa together to meet the rest next morning, Haha!! :p

Nothing much to mention for the rest of the night... Gaming all the way la! :) Budden there goes my X'mas Eve Mahjong too~ Hahaa :p And NPS girls are all sweet~ They all made stuff like cookies muffins and cakes for us to eat. But one thing i really wanna mention.... I am in love with Esther's Tiramisu Cake!!!!! She brought some which she'd made, and WAH WOW OOOOO~ it was so nice... Too bad there wasn't much of it to eat!! Esther had to stop me from finishing it up before the others had a chance to taste it lor~ Muahaha :p Was really impressed!! Hmm~ Girls, u all should listen to this, I Think, one of the best ways to a guy's heart is ... through his stomach!! ^^

*Thinks longingly of Tiramisu cake* ...... sigh~~~~
**Munches on Cheese Steak Burger again**
Yummy~~~

Next thing that shouldn't be missed.... Sheena's Corn bread dance!! At one point of the game, we were happily eating Corn Bread and we were high for watever reasons we don't know. We sang and did some hand-dancing with the corn bread, asking people whether they wanted to have one too? Hahahaa~ So fun!!!

X'mas day

0600+ Finished playing "Citadels"... Cleared up everything before some of us went to sleep while the rest of us sat down to chat, view some photos, etc. I stayed up till 8+ then slept for a while till 9++... Sheena and Esther didn't sleep all the way!! Very lihai lor the 2 of them chat then no need to sleep le, Hahaa :p Played and amused ourselves with one of Sheena's presents - a cowy bank which goes mooooooo~ moooooooo~ each time someone drops a coin in, cute huh!! Esther was also really cute, after all the moo-ing when sheena kept the cowy bank back to it's box where only the nose was visible, she still kept looking at the cow's nose with much interest, hahaa~!! Funny~ Finally washed up and set off for sentosa at close to 10am. Met the rest of the NPS fellas for lunch and took the skytrain to Sentosa.

Noon
WAH LAU the Sun kept avoiding us on this day, upon reaching Sentosa, it started raining... And so we decided to go to the underwater world first. I wasn't really interested cos doesn't feels like a long time since i last went there, and the memories are still quite vivid... Hahaa...

Next, we went to the beach - wasn't raining anymore but not enough sunlight for suntan either. Most of us decided to fore-go the dolphin lagoon trip... Played beach soccer with the rest of the guys while the girls played Citadels again... and later had fun taking silly photos and videos with Kuang Qimei Liting and Hongzhi... "Lover's reunion", "Kungfu kids", "mahjong legend" Hahaa!!! I anyhow name them de la, but basically that's wat we took for videos~ Thinking back about it... Funny~!!

Evening
Went to wash up at about 7pm and set off to vivo city for dinner. Can't rememeber the name of the fast food restaurant we went to... it has something to do with hotdogs... Hmm~ Nvm, haha :p Chatted and ate till 9+ before we all set off for home... Longing for my bed so much!!! Soooo tired! i slept till morning without waking up a single time at night!!! :)

This X'mas must really give Special thanks to Liting Peiyu Sheena Dejun and Esther!! :) Very Happy with and grateful for all ur little pressies & cards & food & hosting & organising of the whole thing!! Thanks to everyone else too for the fun and company!! Really really enjoyed myself and happy to meet u all!!! ;) So Thanks!!!!

Happy New Year to all ya!!!!!

The most sincere speech i've ever heard...

2007-12-09T23:50:00.000+08:00

09 Dec 2007, Sunday

Went for my cousin's wedding dinner last night at The Grand Ballroom at The Pines last night. There, i heard some of the most sincere and touching speeches of my life.

About this cousin of mine, he's probably one of the very very few ppl that i really look up to in my life!! He doesn't come from a really well-to-do family... but he's much much more well brought up than most ppl. Now that i come to think of it, he's probably the prince that all gals dream of meeting... Good looking, well educated and great at sports (violinist and once national representive and 1st for triple jump!!), and more importantly to me (and many others), he truly is the most sincere person i've ever met in my life!

One of the speeches came from a student of his, who spoke briefly of how "Mr. Ho" (my cousin) was the best listener in the world, of how that was all that mattered to him when he was feeling lost and depressed in that phase of his life, and how my cousin helped him discover his talent (That student can sing so well!!! He gave a really nice strum-and-sing performance... definitely a future superstar!!). There and then i couldn't help thinking... what wouldn't i give to have met someone like this during that phase of my life...?

All teachers, lecturers, even school or CCA seniors... Pls bear in mind how much influence you have on other people's life for everything you say or do to them!! It's really a responsibility each and eveyone of us should be aware of alright? :) Many kids are not bad... They just don't know how to, or don't trust you enough yet to open themselves up to you, as was the case during my sec sch. days ... ;) Responsibility is the key word... Remember that you shape other people's lifes and in that sense, the world too!!

Back to the most sincere speech tat i heard, it's nothing much actually... My cousin was talking about the way he was brought up, some of the little things which he appreciated his parents did, and how they helped make him the man he is today. But it was his sincerity in the tone of his speech which touched me most. Words can't really describe tat feeling... Though i'm not Christian, the following words were the ones which touched me most ...

(translated from chinese)
"Today i'm really really happy, because on my wedding day, i finally managed to get papa, mama, to go for (church) service... i really hope to see you 2 there more often, i hope you will know, jesus loves u 2, i love u 2 too"

Don't know what u all think of it... Did you all realise? These words he said, is the greatest and most sincere show of love and filial piety i've ever heard of in words. Because to Christians... If you believe in and embrace god, you go to heaven instead of hell.

To end... Just clarify abit with no offence... I'm not Christian and i'm not trying to promote tat too ok!! Hahaa :p

Gifts~!! ;)

Nice song ... And how very true the lyrics can be

对我好对我好好到无路可退
可是我也很想有个人陪
才不愿把你得罪一时那么迂回
一时进一时退保持安全范围
这个阴谋让我好惭愧
享受被爱滋味却不让你想入非非

就让我们虚伪有感情别浪费
不能相爱的一对亲爱像两兄妹
爱让我们虚伪我得到于事无补的安慰
你也得到模仿爱上一个人的机会
残忍也不失慈悲这样的关系你说多完美

人看你看着我看得那么暧昧
被爱爱人原来一样可悲
为什么竟然防备别人给我献媚
不能推不能要要了怕你误会
让我想起曾经爱过谁
我所要的他不给好像小偷一样卑微

就让我们虚伪有感情别浪费
不能相爱的一对亲爱两像兄妹
爱让我们虚伪我得到于事无补的安慰
你也得到模仿爱上一个人的机会
残忍也不失慈悲这样的关系你说多完美

Enchanted!! ;)

Went to watch this movie "Enchanted" with my bosom friend last night... Such a funny show! The chipmunk and the princess-to-be (Giselle ) were both so cute and funny!! Was really amused each time the chipmunk tried to imitate Giselle and whenever the magical and trademark "Ha~aa~aa~aa~aaa~" was used... LOL!! Lovely show!! ;)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bitter-sweetness of it all again ...
Even if it wasn't, and maybe isn't, meant to be
Thank god for 3 days of beautiful moments and feelings relived
For this i am grateful ... :)

i miss my friends!!!!

So how come i'm here writing? Well...... someone la... asked me how come i stopped writing yesterday.... hao la.... i write i write, hahaa :p

That's all for today though!! ;)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
I lost sleep last night
Things kept coming to my mind
Was it because of the atmosphere at the time..?
Or was it the familiar feeling of walking down the same path with u...
Or was it the look in your eyes...?
Did you feel that way as well......? :)
How I wish you did......
How I wish ...

遇見你們真好

21 October 2007, Sunday

Looking back, this week was full of 感慨 for me!! Met some of my favourite friends, on separate occasions too, and having seen the changes they've had in their life, some quite minimal though quite significant, some considerably different, It all makes me think and feel alot! From their schooling days to working life, things like their new relationships, new friends, new suitors... their current relationship matters... 真的很感慨!! Shall not touch on the details though!! 3 persons which i was particularly glad to meet!! ;) Thank you u all for being the colours in my life! Muacks u all!! Hahaa :p For those of u who got to taste the fried "jiambulat" i bought for u all, hope u all liked it!! Hahaa ;)

At Alvin's bday gathering last night, somebody intro her bf to us WOR~~ Was really happy for her! The one word that appeared in my heart at the news? "FINALLY!!" Ha ha ha :p Having just arrived seconds earlier than her appearance, and thinking she was joining the gathering, i actually decided to break away from the conversation to look at the menu... By the time i realised, she'd left!! Aiyo no chance to bagua about their course of courtship!! Wasted!! :p

09 Oct 2007, Tuesday

Was it yesterday or the day before yesterday? Can't really remember... Something in me suddenly decided that it should remind me that i'm becoming wiser... OUCH!!! Wasn't that bad till today, where virtually everything that had to do with me moving my mouth became a torture... Arghhh~ <(^~^)>

(Today, at work)
Heng: yawn~ OUCH!!! (carries on with work)
(after about 30 seconds)
Heng: yawn~ OUCH!!!

Heng: Wah 很慘 lei 我一直 yawn, 很痛. (After a while) yawns~ OWWW 很痛!! (Giving the suffering look) Dan 怎麼办
Dan : (covering mouth with both hands in the "speak no evil" way) 閉住嘴巴 yawn lor (demonstrates again)
Heng: 那樣 yawn 不爽 lei~ (yawns) OWWW!! (無奈~) ok la 我閉嘴 yawn... Ivy 怎麼办我很慘 lei
Ivy : 快點去 book appointment liao lo!!! 爽啊要五天 MC liao 還 complain!!
Heng: 错時候 lei~~~ (these coming weeks schedule super tight)

Suddenly, memories of me and my ex-gf (when we were still together) scurrying around our neighbourhood last year looking for dental clinics comes flooding back to me for awhile~ That 可憐 look she had and all that... Hahahaa :p Funny~!! ^^ Now i finally know what she was going through at that time le...

可惡的 WISDOM TOOTH

OWWW~

Happy Children's Day!! ^^ and... "Wanna eat early?" LOL

2007-10-01T21:30:00.000+08:00

01 Oct 2007, Monday

Today was feeling really Happy and Amused!! Nothing much... Amused by my own msgs to some of my friends wishing them Happy Children's Day la, Ha ha ha :p And very tickled by many of the replies!!! Hahaa, so fun!!

Was glad to get my hands dirty (well, not exactly... we wear gloves!! heh heh) and did my favourite job of working on components today. It's so much more satisfying!! Things like those audit(s) preparations, secondary appointments stuff, etc... all shitty stuff and a big waste of time!! What's the point of audits if YOU ACTUALLY GET TO PREPARE FOR IT!!?? Just walk in and catch everyone for all the findings, and make them correct them!!!!!! Ah boh how to maintain standards!! No wonder whatever has been passed down for generations are all rubbish!! Suay to be at the receiving end of it all!!!

Aiyo ~ I suddenly realised... Wah lau write something happy also can suddenly have so many grudges and complaints.. i siao liao!! <(>_<)> hahaha :p

"Wanna eat early?"

ALRIGHT!! Now for the actual thing that i meant to share for today!! ;)

Everyday, mum prepares dinner and cleans up the kitchen before 7pm so that she can watch her tv programmes...

Today
(Heng reaches home at about 6pm)

Mum: 喂! 八點也太晚 liao ba~~~

Things seem to be picking up abit!! Though i probably shouldn't be saying it... Hahaa. Anyway, life off work's getting back to the way i like it, meeting friends, sports, rollerblading!! :)

Life at work still difficult, but today it seemed like things might pick up abit after all~

Hope things keep going this way!!

Frustrating Sept

2007-09-17T00:41:00.000+08:00

16 Sep 2007, Sunday

Good things really shouldn't be said... After having those wonderful times in August, September turns out be quite horrid for me so far... Very little sports... very little meeting up friends... Lots of OT but getting flamed in work for nothing!! Damned.

In a bid of extra effort to clear up all the underlying mess in my section, some rush factor going on, and lots of bad luck, i somehow managed to get myself into some trouble at work... Suddenly it feels like all my credentials are gone!! Feel very much maligned for some things blamed on me which was not my fault nor my doing. VERY SAD!!! Nothing i could do about that...

In spite of that, must not be disheartened... Swear i'm gonna stay strong, keep working hard and continue to slowly but surely clear up all the mess. Men are great in the way they bounce back in times of adversity!! Sometimes, though, i wonder why i seem to be the only one who gets all nervous and anxious about these things, and why i seem to be the only one who shows, with genuine effort, that i want to get all these things cleared up quickly... Sigh~ Just realised i've deviated from my own beliefs abit already... It's all work and cropping myself up at home nowadays!!!!

Shall take a leaf out of Sio's blog and go two middle fingers up to express my frustration for all the shit things!!

t(-_-)t

Feel so grateful for Esther's Birthday celebration last Friday cos it was really nice meeting up with the rest after all these!! Thanks u all guys/gals :)

Send my flying kisses smacksss with lots of saliva to u all here *piak piak piak piak piak* ... Muahaha ~ :p

Heng vs Mum's Orange Juice!! LOL :p

2007-09-09T19:05:00.000+08:00

09 Sep 2007, Sunday

Since when, i can't remember, but mum squashes orange juice almost everyday for her 3 beloved sons which is yours smart&handsome monkeyly and his 2 brothers~ Thank God for blessing us with such a loving mum!! Anyway here's something happened on one occasion which i'd love to share with you all!! ;)

(Heng reaches home from work and looks in the fridge for drinks. Sure enough, He finds mum's 愛心 orange juice)

Heng: (sipping the orange juice) Aiyo~!! 为甚麼咸咸的?
Mum: 是咸還是酸? 哪里有橙是咸的!?
Heng: 咸 lei!! :p
大哥 : 來來, 拿來 (bro takes a sip) 有点咸 lei
Mum: (waving hands in protest) Haiyo~~~ 哪里可能咸的???
Heng: (with a mischievous grin) 哦~!! 我知道!!! 你在擠那個橙汁出來的時候, (doing the squash-an-orange action), 那個橙流汗 :p
Mum: 今天天氣這樣涼我哪裡会流汗??? Aiyo buay tahan~~
(it was a rainy day on tat day! Hahaa)
Heng: 我不是讲你啦, 我讲那個橙~ (does the squashing-an-orange action again)
Mum: (finally catches wat Heng says, and getting tickled) Ha ha ha ha ha aiyo buay tahan 橙会流汗!?? (gives Heng a smack on the arm for teasing her) ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ^^

Well, my guess is mum must have tried adding a little sugar water to what she discovered was sour orange juice... And maybe added salt water instead!! Lol :p Not sure of it... Or maybe sweet + sour neutralises to become salty tasting? Dunno!! Hahaa :p Anyway, i was pretty pleased with myself for amusing mum the way i did, though i didn't show it. To gals out there, it pays to have a lame son ok!! You'll get a good laugh every now and then... Make sure you get one in future!! Hahaa :p

Tomorrow $5.5million Toto!!! Yay yay~~~ ^^

~Special August~

2007-09-03T22:30:00.000+08:00

03 Sept 2007, Monday

It's been a month+!! Refused to write anything for the month of August because basically it's so called, "a month of mourning" for me... Darn Autumns... Always gives ppl a feeling of losing something important..... Well i DID kind of lose something inside me at the beginning of the month, so, yeah, Hahaa :p

Despite that, this year's August was actually a really good and enjoyable month for me!! Hmmm~ Lots of things going on the whole month, like, i won a small prize at the beginning of the month... It's like getting a month's bonus, LOL :p Then there were things like celebrating Jonathan's Birthday, Jolene's Birthday, chilling out at the pubs, Going back to NPS for a solo guitar performance by one of our Alumnis' Alumnis' Alumni... (Though i still prefer listening to Sio play instead~) And there was also the NPS BBQ where it was really really nice to see most of everyone, most notably Liting and Hongzhi!! Wah Lau u two really broke my heart when u said u weren't coming after the silly thing that happened... SO GLAD U TWO CAME!!! Hahaa :p Ok back to wat went on for me tis month... Played quite alot of Soccer and basketball... I have an injured right foot now!! And there was this particularly enjoyable weekday where i took half day's off and jio Zhaorong rollerblade at a basketball court near my home where we both learnt a few new things for ourselves (i can now u-turn super swiftly on both sides!!!), and he videoed a clip of me doing something dumb and buanging. Watched quite a few movies... Tat kungfu show acted by Zheng Zi Dan and Gu Tianle.. I forgot the name. Ratatouille... Hairspray... And I particularly enjoyed watching "Secret"!! It was quite a surprise really... Didn't intend to watch that show at all... But thanks to my Sotong colleagues who bought wrong tickets!! LOL :p The plot was really gooood~ The twists unexpected, the show funny, the love heartwarming. I recommend it!! This was what happened first thing the next morning after watching the show with my colleagues, it brightened up my day!! Lol~!! :p

(Heng boards bus 172 on his way to work, and notices his colleague Alvin snoozing on one of the seats.)
Heng: (smiling and pokes Alvin on the face with index finger)
Alvin: (opening his eyes and turning his face around and up) 可以請你不要做那麼娘娘腔的舉動吗!?

LOL!!!!! (Only those who watched the show would understand though~)

Then there was also this selection board where i won the Outstanding Serviceman for the month of June... Hahaa, so funny. During the selection talk, I actually told those high ranking officers that my personal aspiration is to tiok TOTO... Liddat also can win!! Hahaa :P Ooo but i was really proud and touched when my Flight WO recommended me to go for the selection... Though i feel i lack in knowledge and experience, It shows that good effort and commitment are being appreciated!! Actually, I just do things the way i did at NPS la... Sometimes i wish i didn't win it though~ Ppl around u go "Wah~ OSM! OSM!" almost all the time if and when i'm working slightly harder, and sometimes they do that first thing when they see me. Kind of irritating... And being OSM, can't really slack at times when i feel nuah cos would feel i'm letting my Flight WO down. Haiyo~!!! So mafan lor...

But to sum it all up, quite an interesting, eventful, meaningful and special month for me!! ;)

Heng bares all~!! half la... hahaa =P

31 July 2007, Tuesday

Last day of the month!!
Good thing it wasn't raining today~ Weather's still kinda gloomy though, wonder wat's gone wrong with it. Dammit!! hahaa :p

Went East Coast today with Zhaorong for skating. Not bad lei~ ever since he'd bought his skates it has become really easy to get him to go skating together. We met at JP for lunch, shopped a little bit there, then set off for East Coast. and today we really skated quite a long distance.. legs still very lemon now!!

Feel so grateful for the little sunning i managed to get today, it's kind of...... Refreshing~!!

The change in me...
Something about yesterday, and a little of today maybe, somehow, revived some strength in me... i feel... a renewed sense of steel in my heart. Maybe, just maybe... life will go on more easily for me now, i'm not looking back anymore~!! ;)

Baring it~!! :p
I hate to say this... But i have become SKINNY again after the flu i had last week. I look at myself in the mirror, shake my head and think...... It's disgusting!!! u all will probably agree with me... Look~ (sigh)

Just look at the Collarbones and Ripcage bones sticking out!! Arghh~~~ And my waist is small~ Disgusting!!! Awww i guess showing this pic is probably going to make me less appealing to the gals out there? LOL :p

Time for some serious workouts already!!! hahaa :p

Irritated

2007-07-31T00:30:00.000+08:00

30 July 2007, Monday

I won't say why, but I'm feeling really irritated now.

Got bits and pieces of stuff going on in my head, so the things i write today probably won't make much sense to u all~

Maybe... some things.. some ppl.. are not really worth the trouble or thought...

And It's not really related, but the gloomy weather of the past few weeks remind me of the dementors in Harry Potter, spreading despair, and fear and gloom and stuff like tat. Hope it'll be really Sunny tmr though, it's my off day and i'm giving another attempt at a visit to East Coast for some light skating, haven't been able to recover properly, reckon i need some exercise... and Sunlight!!!

I...AM...FEELING...IRRITATED...NOW~!!!!!!!

Don't feel like writing anymore now, going to bed.

Goodnight all~

changes needed~ :p

29 July 2007, Sunday

On my writing
It wasn't till last night that I realise my recent writings here places too much emphasis on what has been happening to and around me rather than how i feel about them, which pretty much makes it less fun and kind of "out of point" for me. I mean, it's not really my intention to make this a so-called "online diary". The thing is, each time i have some new inspirations, feelings about things, i can't seem to find the time to sit down and write about it, and when i do write about it, it's more like reminiscing what has happened and not, like i say, how i feel about it.

Would probably change how and wat i write already~!! ;)

Aww~ the darn weather
I simply dislike, loathe, 討厭, 不喜歡, 厭惡!!!! the weather nowadays... Too much wet weather, too little sunlight!! Autumn, or rather the rainy season came abit too early this year, dun u think? It's depriving me of the trips to East Coast and killing my drive to go out and have fun!
Damn...... LOLzz =p

"I miss the Sun and Redang and Goreng Pisang!!"

Ok la so the Goreng pisang part was a lie... Added just so it rhymes~ Hahahaa :p
I'm bored at home but with no drive to go out!!! Kill me bah!!!

Back ^^

26 July 2007, Thursday

Honestly, i really hate falling sick. Amidst all the suffering from the sickness, people would naturally perceive you to be "wah~~ good lor can relax at home" or "wah~~ chao geng huh?" Kenny was half jokingly asking me today "Heng! Why u always sick!! i monitor u very long already hor!" And to think that this was only my 2nd MC tis yr... NABEH!!! Wanna smack him sia~ LOL :p Luckily my immediate colleagues know how really badly sick i was, cos they had to call to ask me about something on Tuesday~ :] Hoping against hope that the others really realise how much suffering it was being that sick, not mentioning me having to bear with the knowledge that i'm having work piled up, not reduced till i return. I"D RATHER BE CLEARING UP WORK THAN LIE SICK AND SUFFERING IN BED OK!!! Hahaa :p

Quite a relaxed day at work as compared to the past week where we had to handle a so-called crisis. No need to do OT~!!! LOL :p I kind of feel uneasy with the work that has piled up over the past month though...... And wat with the report i have finish up for my flight (my secondary appointment la). Though our superiors, satisfied and appreciating the hard work we've put in, reckons it's time we took a good break wif a few off days, i think, still can't relax with so many unfinished business to settle... Kind of recovered from my sickness already (read backtracked), though i felt myself feeling tired rather early today, about 4pm. Slept at 6plus, not long after returning home from work and reading the newspapers. Woke up at about 10pm.. Had my dinner... And here i am!! Finally fully updated as of today!! (except perth trip... almost giving up on that already hahahaa) WAH, before yesterday, really lacking in time tor condition to write at all sia... LOL :]

Take care ppl~ I miss u all!!! Hahaa :)

(backtracked)
25 July 2007, Wednesday

Still feeling super gong today... Not wanting to get out of bed, i decided to do nothing but read, i finished reading "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in one day! Not sure whether issit due to my sickness... But i somehow find this final episode quite unfascinating and dull as compared to the previous ones. What i really loved about the previous books were the new fascinations (stuff like amazing new spells), the romance, the humour, the special events (like Quidditch, Triwizard competition, etc), etc, all of which were sorely lacking (comparatively) in this new episode. Feel myself getting better though!! *beams*

24 July 2007, Tuesday

Woke up to find myself having a really bad case of flu. Had been sneezing and clearing my nose for the whole night. Pondered whether i should go back to work still, but finally decided that it was better to take care of my health first rather than go to work being unable to be of much help with my condition and with the risk of spreading the virus to others. Slept till about 10am before i managed to pull myself out of bed to see a doctor. Got MC for 2 days!!

Tis day, i could do nothing but lie in bed moaning and almost dying from the pain my headache was causing me. It was so bad that i couldn't manage to use my computer for more than 10 mins.. was basically staring into the blank and thinking only of my aching head. Didn't even feel like chatting though i saw quite a number of my favourite friends online on msn (at about 2pm)... Funny how the doctor failed to prescribe me painkillers... Asked my Bro to get me some panadol extras on his way back from work (which was 11pm+ after a whole day's suffering) and Felt much better the next day after taking them. I almost thought i'd die on tis day though~ my head was threatening to burst for the whole day!! Think it's the worst case of flu i've ever had...

Does more suffering actually come with age? Hahaa :p

23 July 2007, Monday

Back to work with the remnants of the Hangover still bugging me!! Suffering.... And i had to work OT still, up to 11pm again. Feel weak... Arghh~

scrubs 2 weeks stuff!!! LOL

2007-07-24T21:19:00.000+08:00

(rearranged for the sequence)

22 July 2007, Sunday

Woke up at about 9am. Quite surprised tat i woke up so early since i was so badly drunk the previous night before, and while lying in bed i tot i wasn't suffering from a hangover, which of course, i later discovered i was badly wrong. Though feeling miserable from the gong head and the urge to laosai after drinking too much alcohol, i Smsed the rest to tell them how really Happy i was to see them again. I also found, to my surprise, cash in my wallet - remember using them up the night before - and i later found out from Ah Hwa tat i'd drawn money from the ATM the night before while i was drunk.

Couldn't really manage to fall asleep again so i woke up to have a good bath and read the newspapers.. Finally managed to get sleepy enough at 10am+ and so i slept again till 1pm+... stoned around for a while before i washed up again and went off to MS (AGAIN!!) to meet Jimmy, Sharon (Perth trip friend) and her bf, Daniel. It was nice to see Sharon again, her bubblyness kinda helped relieve some of my stoneness for awhile. Laughed at a few jokes we shared and a few observations we'd made (Miss "D" and etc... LOL) while having our dinner at Waraku. We went shopping for awhile after that, and wah lau there were some shirts and most importantly a jacket which i really liked, but wasn't available for my size. We suah-dew at about 9pm+, at which time i was already feeling tortured by the hangover.

I carried on with a little shopping myself, however, but didn't manage to see anything of my interest, so i proceeded to set off to Settler's Cafe (Central) near Clarke Quay Station to collect the Citadels i'd ordered 2 mths ago. Reached home at 11plus, where i washed up and went to bed feeling really contented, filled wif the recent memories of meeting sooo many of my friends this month, my Colleagues cum friends, NPS friends, RP friends, ITE friends, Holiday friends, and etc...

Thank God for blessing me with all the fantastic ppl around me!! :)

21 July 2007, Saturday

Woke up reluctantly at 8am+, where normally i could have and would have slept rather alot more than this day would permit. Had to go to work!! Crisis ah~ LOL Washed up and went to work, abit sianz too~ since there were no signs tat any seniors would be going to join us. For half of the day, only me and Ivy were working, "uncle" Anand had his car matters to attend to - his car kenna knocked by some noob the day before, and "uncle" Soh didn't come until Joshua called him upon knowing i had to leave the place by 5pm+. And it was a day where we received variations of good and bad news, each over-ruling the previous, though fortunately everything turned out to be quite fine in the end.

The need to continue pushing things in the right direction didn't cease there though, and so we continued slaving thru' this fine weekend day... Left at 5pm to meet my ex-ITE friends!! Liwei, Kimhwa, Chongyang, Koonchye, James, Kokhong and Yingmao. Soooo soooo happy to see them again~ Hadn't met some of them for probably a year plus, others probably 3yrs plus. Seems to me that we all haven't changed much in terms of looks, especially Yingmao, who looks surprisingly slim for a mother of 2!! LOL :p

We had dinner in a Taiwan sort of eatery at Bugis and then chilled out at a KTV pub at chinatown area (i think) after tat. Was so happy tat day, i drank quite alot! 8persons sharing 3 bottles of liquor... LOL drink till vomit and lau sai sia~~~ Can vaguely remember myself lying down outside pearl's centre talking rubbish (as usual, about girls) with Liwei and Ah Hwa while half vomitting, hahahaa first time in my life that i nvr control how much alcohol i drank. Ah Hwa might be reading this... I'm not gonna write about wat happened tat day on our way to the toilet though i remember i said i would in my drunken stupor!! Write liao really no image liao... LOL :p Luckily i was wif Ah Hwa and Liwei tat night though. Finally reached home at 5am+ straight away dropped unconscious to sleep...

16 July - 20July Weekdays

Just when i was getting more satisfied tat we were managing the "logistics part" of our work quite well and long awaited opportunities to do hands on work had come my way, almost gleeful at the thought that this months' output was quite satisfying, a sudden "crisis" hits us and all i can remember of this week is cheonging OT after OT, like thurs 8am to 2am, fri 12noon to 12:30am, and having to go back to work on Saturday where it should have been an off-day.
Wah Kau~!!!!!!!!

15 July 2007, Sunday

Bearing in mind that we were supposed to meet Zhaorong at 9++ at Bedok interchange, i woke up at 7am to the irritating ringing sound of my alarm clock despite sleeping at about 4am cos of reading 小說. Seeing as Kuang was obviously reluctant to wake up, i myself also retreated back to my dilam, deciding tat a little snooze wouldn't hurt...

7:40am+ ... woke up again, this time, ay 七點多 liao leh kuang: looks up, falls back into bed, not exactly a very encouraging move for tired ppl like me, so i also slumped back to sleep

8am ... woke up again, turning to look at the big sized figure, give up, go back to sleep

8:30am++ ... woke up again, this time giving kuang a little kick, ooi~ 起來 lei~ (but to no avail)

9:20am++ (Zhaorong calls) Ooi~ 還沒有起來啊? Me: uh ya 剛剛起來... (conversation goes on) turning to kuang, ooi~~ 起來~ (Kuang apparently still reluctant to move, so i went to do my washing up before kicking at him again, and ate some breakfast while he washed up)

10am++ Finally left my home, with Kuang commenting tat he also woke up a few times to see me lying flat and so was not at all inclined to wake up (LOL), proving that we both are very influential on each other.

Upon reaching the bus stop......
Heng: (seeing bus240 at the end of the road) ooo bus 剛走......
Kuang: Wah, 肚子餓 lei (Looking at the coffee shop opposite the bus stop longingly) 該不該買東西吃 lei?
Heng: 去买 lor~
Kuang: (looking and thinking) 不懂要买甚麼 lei
Heng: (observing kuang's longing look at the kopitiam) (half-jokingly)要不要乾脆在裡面吃?
Kuang: (smiling and glancing at his watch) 遲到 liao wor~ then 還要去到我家, 去到來几點 liao wor?
Heng: (abit sarcarstic and amused at wat i was about to say) Aiya 都遲liao, "也不差这一遲"啦 right? (Both laughs)

10:30++ to 11:20++ (reach kuang's current home in Taman Jurong, waited for him to bath pack and change) Heng: 哇~~你有夠慢的lor~ (though not really complaining since i was reading comic books)

11:30+ (walking to carpark-road intersection between 2 opposite bus stops, outside cisco, a bus appearing to be 154 just leaves)
Kuang: 那个bus stop 可以搭 154 去 clementi, 這個bus stop 可以搭 240
Heng: i think 搭 240 lor, 154 剛走

waits

waits

waits

(suddenly occurs to me that 240 only goes in one direction here) Ooi~ 只有那邊有啦~~ aiyo~

By the time we reached East Coast, it was already close to 1pm!!!
Lolzz, Buay Tahan... :p

Skating wasn't really fun tat day, cos Kuang was having trouble with his rented skates which seemed to lopside to the left so he was practically "limping" all the while, till i came to his rescue about an hour later and helped him choose another pair of skates instead... We didn't even make it to the slopes before the hawker centre on this day!! Can see how little we skated, huh? LOL and i also realised that i couldn't do the "2 new slides" i'd learnt earlier tis month on the rougher surface ground (yet) Wah Lau~

After skating, i cheonged home to bath and changed, and then cheonged to Furama Riverside Hotel to meet some previous "RP" friends, Jimmy, Cantona (and his wife), Mark, Paul, Peter, Cheong and Chee sian for buffet dinner. They look quite different le, maybe cos now all more hair le bah, most notably Chee Sian now sports long hair and looks quite like a star. The food was not too bad and it was nice catching up with them after so long.

14 July 2007, Saturday

Basically nuah whole day till evening time before going to Sheena's Bday party. Wah Biang i found out to my dismay that a chalet booking i'd made from 9th Aug to 13Aug had been cancelled... Super disappointed and sianz. While on the train, i smsed around to check who was already at Sheena's home... and LOL the replies i get hor~ (shake head~) Finally decided to take to train to Tampines to meet Kuang and Qimei go together instead of alighting at Eunos.

When we reached, WAH so many ppl lor~ whole house and room so packed sia. Luckily after the cake cutting, most of them stayed in the living room to sing k, Kuang Qimei Jiaying Yueying Jonathan Yuhang we all stayed in sheena's room though. Some of them played games on the PS portable while the rest of us watched this dumb show (Jacky Wu's variety show) and it was soooo funny!! Got one "human vase head" really made me laugh alot hahahaa~~~ Now think also wan to laugh. In the meantime, poor Sheena got P.O.W.ed by her SAG friends and she was basically blindfolded, tied, led downstairs and bombarded into egged-floured-coked-and-i-dunno-wat-else flavoured de beef bak gua at the end of that P.O.W. session... so cham sia... Hahaa =p

Left Sheena's home at about 11plus with Kuang, Qimei and Jiaying. We waited for the bus with Qimei before ours came taking us to Bedok Interchange. But suay la by the time we reached, no more bus or train so we took cab home instead. Kuang was half-toying with the idea of staying over at my home again, so i psycho him to go skating at East Coast the next day with me, zhaorong and his friends.

9th to 13th July Weekdays

Can't remember much of it. Besides work, there was this irritating COC parade on Tuesday evening... Met Dejun to get somemore of Sheena's presents on Thursday... Tis day quite easy to remember cos i happend to meet Zhaorong while waiting for the MRT at lakeside, Hahaa so coincident. Friday was a happy day at work, not cos of go home early or weekend but cos i got to do hands-on job on components!! ^^

8 July 2007, Sunday

Met Wanling wif the original intention to shop for presents. For those who don't already know, we still remain as really good friends to this day despite everything! Hahaa :) We ended up just having lunch and a little chat before i went to Marina Square to meet Dejun, Sheena, Michael and Alvin instead (and later Jeremy joined us). Yes... MS again! Arghh~~ we had dinner and went for KTV after tat.

WAH normally i would've nothing to write about KTV sessions, but on this day, the small - medium rooms in MS Kbox were fully occupied so they ended up letting us use the big party rooms instead, LOL :p The lightings were nice and there was a pool table (we were told we had to pay $80++ if we wanted to play though) and there was even a small stage for anyone who wanted to sing on it instead. We all made sure each of us took a turn to sing on tat stage. And it was really funny cos the room was so big~ (with just 5 of us) All of us kept walking around in it, albeit to keep the cold away from us (though not really sure it helped? LOL)

feels like 蛤蜊 again~

2007-07-07T21:55:00.000+08:00

07 July 2007, Saturday

Kuang and Dejun ah... Wat's wif the fuss over my status? LOL wat is wrong wif u all... i cannot choose to stay single har~~~ Can stop nominating names and speculating me wif anybody le lah, Wat 2 Ying la, Esther la, Kuang can say Dejun somemore... no use no use... Hahaa :] For me everything must feels right, and i can truly tell u all, there is no such suitable candidate la... not at all!! And Yuhang, Zhaorong... Jiaying and me is not so close as u ppl suggest... Wonder why everyone thinks we're close when we actually, really, only meet on those very seldom de NPS events. Yeah i do have tat special liking for her, as friends ok, and as do i have a liking for all of u lor. And more importantly i daresay i don't think i am her type of guy la!! Hahahaa~

Horoscopes are a real load of rubbish... My daily horoscopes (hotmail de) for about the whole of the past month or so all suggesting i'm on a path to romance or something, where got where got~~~
DUN HAVE LA~

Nothing much this week... More significant thing to me is that i told Kuang and Ivy (my colleague) my new secret plan for the not so near future, hahaa :)

Yesterday after work, my colleagues and i changed to our civilian clothes and went into JB for Seafood dinner. The 9 of us went in in 3 cars. Find it rather cool to go somewhere in a group, in a group of cars, somemore Anand and Michael zeng their car till quite nice~ Reminds me of initial D, LOL :p Maybe i should really go get my license quick and get myself a car, seeing as i'm single and intend to stay tat way... dun really need much savings, yeah? Can consider ooo......

Hmm~ Think it was a rather high end restaurant that we went to, cos the prices... if u compare to Singapore, it's abit cheaper but if you're talking in terms of Malaysia prices, think it's considered rather expensive. However, i didn't really mind since the seafood was quite good. I still miss the Giant Prawns i had in Phuket though~ Seems like u can't really find any of it in this region. After the Seafood, we decided to go in search for durians~ finally came across a durian stall and we had some nice durians. Yummy evening!! :)

Today, woke up at 9am+ despite sleeping only after 3am the previous night before. Rainy day!! Sabo my weekend East Coast skating plans... Hai~ Tried but couldn't get back to sleep cos my mouth reeks of durian smell (i got brush teeth de hor!! LOL). So finally decided at 10am+ tat i should join Zhaorong and Meiyi + Meiyi's friend (i heard) for their supposed k-lunch session at MS. Smsed Zhaorong tat i was going and started washing up and all that stuff and rushed out to meet them. When i boarded the MRT, i decided to call Zhaorong to do a check since he hadn't replied. To my alamak + wah lau + horror, he was still sleeping!! It was then that i found out from him tat the thing cancelled le... "Ding Dong~ Clementi"... Decided tat i'd still go to MS for a walk after all, though i was alone. Wrong move man... Reached MS feeling kinda sianz, smsed the others to check if they had anything going on, then went to 7-11 to get a newspaper and magazine, then read the newspapers while having lunch at BK. Dunno why i had a sudden craving for BK though... Hahaa :p At close to 2, could feel my head becoming gong gong, AH~ not enough sleep... So decided to find somewhere to sleep while waiting for the rest to reply.

Somehow, my monkey instincts led me to the cinemas, and there i found a comfy chair which look comfortable enough for me to laze on. I really fell asleep!! Slept from like, 2pm till close to 4pm... Then woke up to read the magazine i bought earlier on. To which i found out, relaxing outside alone isn't tat bad after all. About 4+, Jonathan finally called me to say he was outside wif some of the others, whether i wanted to join them for steamboat dinner later on. Of course i say ok la~ LOL

After lazing around for a while more, however, i could really feel my head gong gong~ Must be the seafood and durians heatiness whacking me alrdy, Hahaa~ So smsed Jon tat i wasn't joining them after all, and decided to go JP get some things then go home straight.

Quite boring huh tis week... Already feel myself going back into 自閉 mode liao, lolzz :p MY HEAD STILL FEELS GONG GONG~~~ ARGHHH~~~~~~

New slides!! ;)

02 July 2007, Monday

Today was a fun day!! After finishing my duty, i immediately rushed home to wash up and proceeded to meet Jimmy and Guo An at West Mall. We'd planned to go to East Coast for Skating/Cycling la. Whoa there was alot more ppl at East Coast than we thought... Reached there le then we realised it's youth day today. While Guo An cycled and both me and Jimmy skated, Dan fly plane!! Nabeh he went and cheong yesterday, then suffer from hangover and couldn't wake up in time to join us! Hahaa Jimmy kenna scolded by Guo An cos he spent alot of time wearing his skates, he wasted Guo An's 15mins of rented cycling time!!

En route to Bedok Jetty and back to beginner's corner
Jimmy was having a hard time trying to play catch up with us while we skated/cycled, bobian la, he still beginner only. But not too bad la, at least he managed to cross the humps without buanging, and he managed to learn T-brake too. We managed to cover up to Bedok Jetty, hanged around there for a while, went a little over Bedok Jetty and back to the beginner's corner, all in about 1 and 1/2 hrs. Not bad considering it was Jimmy's first time skating at East Coast!! He kept buanging on his way back though, tired legs, hahaa =p And since i wanted to wait for him, i couldn't skate fast, so i tried learning how to skate on one leg, kind of get some feel about it le! I also tried jumping over the humps... BUANG ah!! Lolzz :p Got one big "Orhh Cheh" or blue-black (why issit blue-black instead of black-green!?) on my left thigh now!!

Smart kid showing off to his date
When we reached back the beginners' corner, half resting, occasionally casually skating, there was this little kid who was showing off his slides to a girl!! We were really amused, and Guo An was like saying, "Whoa~ 小小年紀就會帶女孩子來 show off 給他看 liao" Hahaa~ Anyway, though amused, i was more interested in the kid's powerslides. i immediately tried learning them on the spot, and i learnt 2 new powerslides le!! Tat's y i love going to East Coast to skate... i always manage to find new things to learn!! Hahaa~ Yoz Sio and co., next time meet u all skating/cycling i got more things to show off le!! hahaha :p

After skating/cycling, we washed up, had a drink, then went to Marina Square for a movie. We watched Transformers!! Whoa it was really nice~ the robots damn cool~ Then set off for home... I had dinner... then fell asleep on the floor from 7pm+ till 3am++, then woke up to bath, played guitar for awhile, then back to sleep.... Zzzzzz~ Tiring but fun day!! Who says weekdays offdays can't be fun? Hahaa ;)

Sunday Duty... Grrr~

02 July 2007, Monday

Yesterday (Sunday), was doing 24hr duty in camp... Quite sianz. Reached 8am, then slept a while, then watched some DVDs and VCDs i'd brought to entertain myself. Wah lau my right leg's still aching from wearing tat stupid ice skating shoe, ice skating sucks!! =p Time passed like that till late afternoon, then i started planning for the chalet i'd kind of promised NPS alumnis tat i'd organise. Originally intended to call everyone one by one, but then in the end still decided to sms survey the best date for the chalet instead. Well, for those who dun already know, the date has been fixed on 10th to 12th August! ;)

Sometimes, i really dun like doing duties like these cos being sooo free there, it gives me too much time to think about things. I had thoughts zooming pass my brain all the time, which was kind of frustrating. I think, i must learn how to 發呆 at will... LOL :p And then it was so cold tat i took out my jacket to wear... And it had Jiaying's leftover perfume smell + ice skating rink smell, urgh~~~ the perfume smell kept reminding me of her!! Grrr~~~ <(\_/)>
It was basically like this:
Heng watching tv (smell of perfume floats up) jiaying
Heng watching another show (smell of perfume floats up) "tsk~"
Heng thinking of chalet things (smell of perfume floats up) "Haiyo~~~"
Heng trying to sleep (smell of perfume floats up) "oooiiii!!"
WAH LAU!!! :p

Basically, this day was about Sleep (on single sofa, tiring!) + watch tv + dumb thoughts!! ;)

Nvr going Ice skating again!! :p

30 June 2007, Saturday

Saturday~ Met up with Jiaying Yueying Yuhang Jonathan and Tianle for ice skating. As usual, everyone was late so we waited and waited and finally started skating at about 4pm. Both me and Yuhang were stunned when we saw Jiaying, dun be mistaken, it's not cos she's pretty, (hahaha~), cos the way she dressed up, 100% is the "going out somewhere after meeting us" type, and she didn't even bring extra clothes! So i kept lisiao-ing her, saying things like aiya~ nvm la~~ if fall down get wet, downstairs still got This Fashion u can buy new clothes... etc, hahaha :p In the end, i was so kind as to borrow her my Jacket (which for ur info, was originally meant to be my spare shirt in case i got wet) to protect hers, dotz~~ LOL =p By the way, both me and Yuhang tot Jiaying, or rather girls in general, look rather nice wearing Guy's Jackets.

Anyway back to skating, was so eager at first, cos was really looking forward to trying out the powerslides i learnt from rollerblading. Alas~ when i first stepped into the ice skating rink, i really (-_-''') big time, LOL~~~ couldn't even skate properly!! So, skated awhile wif the rest first before trying the slides. Jiaying was really funny!! When we skated together i would keep going faster and she would keep complaining, and there was once when i had to let go of her cos someone was blocking my path, and then... Bang!! Someone banged into Jiaying and she fell down, then she kept scolding me for letting her go... Hahaha wah lau if i nvr let her go i would've pulled her back and tat would've caused her to fall lor! Hai~ being kind reaps no rewards... Liddat nvm... there were those ice skating experts zooming around the rink, and when they zoomed past her, she really, positively, screamed!! Aloud!!LOL~!!! Dunno about the rest, but i really buay tahan and kept laughing, ha ha ha~ So funny!!

After skating a little while more i got more used to the rink le so i tried to do the powerslides, LOL i just couldn't succeed no matter how i tried! i would find myself braking then going into a spin, funny~ I'm not really sure but Tianle reckons it has something to do wif the shoes... Hahaa~ And later when Chris joined us (Chris can ice skate really well!!), he taught Yueying how to skate backwards, and we also tried, it was funny, cos i found a "cheat code" way of moving backwards, i called it the "backwards ice skating de 狗爬式", they say it's really ugly though~ Hahaha :p

Does wat i say so far sounds like fun? But back to my subject title, why i dun wanna go ice skating anymore...
1. Wearing ice skating shoes really hurt my feet!!
2. It's abit boring cos u just keep going round n round the rink...
3. I have to pay to get in!!! Rollerblade is free for me... LOL
4. I can't do all the fun stuff that i can do while rollerblading!! Hahaa

No more ice skating for me!!

Proud Declaration~ LOL

However, tat also means tat yours monkeyly can proudly declare tat not much time was wasted for the whole of June ever since i declared i needed to "Re-get a life!" Hahaa.. Yeah!! ;)

Perth Road Trip!!
18 June 2007, Monday
Instead of spending the previous night sleeping in preparation for this Perth trip, i went for supper with a friend till about 2am, then packed my bags, and blogged till 6am before rushing to the airport! Both me and Jimmy spent another additional $50 each to get our visas for the trip, i'd completely forgotten it was necessary!! Lolzz :p Finally boarded the plane at about 9:40am

Tired from not having any sleep the previous night, i slept throughout the plane ride. We finally arrived at Perth, and i was being stopped and questioned bcos there was an unfilled part in my arrival card - our destination address. Jimmy conveniently forgot tat he had it somewhere wif him!! Grrr~~
Anyway, we still managed to get pass the customs in the end. While waiting for Jimmy's friend, Sharon, and Sharon's friend, Richard, to pick us up, i took the time to savour the feel of the cool temperature there... it was so~ comfortably~~~ Cooling~!! Winter!!! I was told the temperature there was about 7 to 18 degrees, wow!! Within minutes Richard and Sharon arrived and drove us off to buy some fast food. We had a quick lunch at Sharon's home, after which we set off for our chalet at Margeret River, (think it's a more countryside area a little outside Perth).

(to be continued...) LOLzz :p

10 June 2007, Sunday

Yay!! Enjoyed tis week~ True to the promise i made to myself last Sunday, i refuse to waste my time doing nothing no more!! ^^

Ok~ So my weekdays were nothing much, mostly spent online chatting wif friends, but i also played guitar!! Friday evening was spent at Turf City where i had seafood for dinner wif some of my colleagues. Skating on Saturday at East Coast was nice!! i learnt something new... "Nelson", though i dun really know why tat technique is named tat way~ And today, i was at Marina Square wif a gal friend searching for a particular Japanese restaurant when i heard someone calling out "Yow Heng!" from behind me. Taking about 3 seconds to realise tat it could be someone i know, i turned around and...... Guess wat? A WHOLE BUNCH of current NPS fellas were there!!! 10 over ppl... LOLZZ!! They all were down there like "Hoorrrrrrrr~~~~" Hahahaa, so paisay~ Yess guys/gals, IF it's my GF i will surely intro to u all... But it's not!! Tat's why so paisay and i choose to keep low profile... Siam u all! Hahaa :]

Oh ya talking about the Japanese restaurant, u all should go try the food there!! Sooo Nice sia~ i tried the "kaminabe watsen" (紙火鍋), YA i know the dish name sounds like some hokkien vulgar language, i had a really good laugh when i first read the name, but it's VERY nice!!! Go try!!! ;)

Pic for ur reference!!

I watched Shrek 3 today!! Soooo nice~ Sibeh hilarious, Sibeh funny~!!! Simply love the part where everybody almost "hoot" the fella when they all stupidly tot he was "in their way" while listening to a speech, and the Frog King's die but nvr die expressions, so Funny!!!

Just reached home after having some nice satay for supper!!! Wah today the satay uncle sibeh on form... Today's satay soooo nice!!! ^^

Wat a week!! Good fun! Good food!!! ^^

04 June 2007, Monday

Surprise!! Really rare tat i'd blog so fast after the last post right~ very eng and nothing much to do now... Hahaa :]

Today was a sleepy day for me at work!! Guess i've been having too many late nights and not enough sleep... And OC was asking me today how come our output for past 2 months was sooooo low... Wah lau wat to expect wif stupid ES eating up almost all our time right... wat wif the need to settle priority issues dragging our time down due to lack of info. Having to wait for those pros to help us ES minnows, needing to wait for all the info from other departments, having too little terminals, and having to do miscellaneous tasks every now and then doesn't seem to help in any way anyway!!! Oh and i forgot to mention my section doesn't seem understrength but IT IS!!! For now at least......
Just look at tis - Out of 5 of us
1. yours monkeyly was on course for 2 weeks in May
2. Dan kenna NDP, so minus 4.5 days every month off his working days/mth (4.5 out of 21 is alot!!!)
3. Soh's not re-qualified to work in our section yet, and it seems like tat's nvr going to happen since he's planning on a move to another section
4. Ivy (and me too) are not really pros in ES... Wat can they expect from 2 stupid short weeks of training, 3/4s of which were devoted to 'O' lvl ES processes?
5. Looling's been helping out Soh with all the section's revamp since he's assigned to replace Anand. And now she's cross-training to another section...
6. Tat's not to forget Anand's no longer wif us!! And April was devoted to working on the very troublesome and time consuming Evaporator Unit...

WAT TO EXPECT!!! Lolzz :p

Ok, tat wasn't wat i really set out to write when i started tis new post. Back to talking about myself~ was planning to go somewhere today but instead i slept like 4.5hrs on the living room floor. ~sleepy head~ Dinner was few pieces of bread with some really nice but small siew mais~ it was supposed to be before-dinner-snack, for ur info~ Hahaa now it becomes dinner and dinner becomes supper. I think skating yesterday was a good choice! My mood's still really good today, Plus i had sweet dreams last night~ It's funny, but i was bf to one of my friends in my dreams, and ooooo~ how i adored her in those dreams... Eeeeeee~!!! Ha ha ha :p Dun bother to ask me who, cos i'll nvr say!! :] Anyway dreams are just dreams~ (Looking up at the clock) 1.30am!!! Sleepy day again tmr, i guess... oh noooooo............

Some things i nvr say, so u'll nvr know...

I need to... Re-get a life!! Hahaa

2007-06-03T22:59:00.000+08:00

03 June 2007, Sunday

Ever wondered why i haven't been writing about my life for some time now? It's because i dun feel like i've had a life since pig year started!! Then again, it's nobody's fault except my own... Take the last 3 days for example!! (31st May - 02June)

Thurs public holiday... Stay home, slept late, woke up and watched dvds, surfed net till late at night, sleep
Fri (cleared my off day), woke up late, watched dvds, dinner wif friend, surfed net + watched soccer till late at night, sleep
Saturday (weekend) woke up late, watched dvds, surfed net and watched soccer till late at night.

Wah lau wey~~~ Super no life!! And tat was just an example of how i usually spent my off days/weekends for the past few months!! (since pig yr, to be specific)

I WANT TO GET ACTIVE AGAIN!!!
And i made sure tat started from today!! Abit Happier wif myself already :)
-Event-table for today-

0647hrs - got a shock when i saw daylight, woke up instantly!!
0710hrs - finished a quick wash up and breakfast
0715hrs - left home for runway cycling event at PLAB!! (Was supposed to reach @ 0730... now u know why i need to get up at 0530 huh, Hahaha)
0835hrs - reached PLAB!! Start of rollerblading journey
1010hrs - Finished the course (kind of la, set for home)
1200hrs - Home sweet home, read newspaper, ate lunch
1430hrs - bed comfy bed, Zzzzz...
1540hrs - ignored my alarm again

Doesn't sound very interesting? It's good enough as compared to the last 3 days already!! Guess monkeys are really not supposed to stay indoors... Hahaa ^^ Wah it's been so long since i've last skated before today... Surprisingly i can still do "snake" and "fish", though i got a little tangled wif my crossovers :]

HAPPY!!! Hahaa ^^

Memories, memories, memories......

2007-05-23T22:00:00.000+08:00

23 May 2007, Wednesday

Instead of my dear muackz NPS friends, i decided to dedicate tis post to some other friend for once.

Here's something tat brings back nice old memories aplenty for me... To the friend who's associated to tis wif me, You know who you are~!!! (^-' ) I think about you alot u know!! Hahaa :] a few times a day la.. so i know i confirm more 有心 than u de, hahaa =p

~sigh~
How i miss those times......

Though i may not show
Though u may not know
You're always on my mind

Oh ya, tat's life

2007-05-21T11:47:00.000+08:00

21 May 2007, Monday

Everyday, i wake up to find myself trapped in an alchemy of only skin and bones which i absolutely loathe, wondering why the whole world except me wants to go on a diet.

Everyday, i wonder why i let go of some things in life, why i embraced other things before which i later find to be of absolutely no value to me, and why in my life did i make some decisions or do some things i regret

Everyday i wonder why i'm the only one who seems to realise the difference between the ideal 3secs for everyone to move to the back of the bus for those boarding it and the actual 300 seconds it took for them to ignore the rest, then look, shuffle half a step, then look, then look again, then shuffle another half a step, etc...

And i wonder about all the other things tat might make my day unpleasant
And i think, oh ya... tat's life... ~sigh~

Then i remember all the ppl tat i love and treasure
And i remember all the fun things i love to do
And i remember the nice chocolate ice-cream in my fridge
And i remember
Oh ya~!!! That's Life~!! ^^

沒有你就沒有喜悅，也不懂得悲伤，不會生氣，也不會快樂...

Where Rainbows End

2007-05-12T22:50:00.000+08:00

12 May 2007, Saturday
This week, i read this really nice book tat i borrowed from the library.

Title: Where Rainbows End
Author: Cecelia Ahern

Thanks Yueying for recommending me books from this author! Tat was like, err~ 3 1/2 months ago though? Lolzz :p

Anyway, i'll share a little bit more of this story just to get u all abit more interested...

Well... The story revolves around 2 main characters (Rosie and Alex)who stick thru thick and thin and remain as best friends thoughout their lives. There's always this magical connection between them but misunderstandings, circumstances and sheer bad luck keeps them apart. Watch, err, Haha no, i mean read, their friendship survive the years and miles, as well as new relationships, as fate play a cruel part on their lives, always so full of twists and surprises... I had tears flowing from my eyes at the end of the story sia..!! Really nice story!! Sweet, funny, touching at times, And it's almost a BFG as well, as in Best Friends' Guide, Ha ha ha :p And the characters are bright wif a good mixture of brains, sarcasm, humour, cuteness, and emotions... Just the way i like myself!! =p

Awww~~ It's been dreadful for me. There's this seemingly endless, pointless wait... And the disappointment keeps sinking in with every unsuccessful result. Blah blah, just felt like letting out my frustration!! Dun wonder, and dun ask me wat issit, i'll say it's toto... Lolzz :p I think though, i shall stop freeing up my time for tat...

I just watched "The Break Up" on dvd yesterday, wish i hadn't watched it. It's surprisingly realistic and a real smack in the head for ppl who's been through the same things. Aww, make tat smackssss instead of smack, talk about yucky shows... <(>_<)>'''

Was back at NPS on friday. Loved it!! The feeling of playing music in a Mr. Alex class with other alumnis was great, even though we had to sight-read and suffer the feeling of being outclassed by juniors who'd practised the piece for a long time...!! Lolzz :p Credit to the current members, most of them played really well :] Irish Folk Medley is a really nice piece!! And there's things like Kuang's curry pok head and Jiehui living "high up there", etc... Muahaha :p

Having said that, it wasn't the perfect evening for me either. In the euphoria of meeting the fellow-alumnis and Mr. Alex, i decided i'd join in for virtuoso... But i finally decided not to, cos there's a few things i noticed which i wasn't happy about at all. Practice didn't start till Mr. Alex came, which was close to 8pm.

In our time,
1. Practice starts at 6:30pm, not WHEN Mr. Alex arrives
2. Practice wasn't cancelled if and when Mr. Alex couldn't come
3. Bcos of point#1, Mr. Alex NEVER had to sit down and wait for us to get ready for his class
4. There doesn't seem to be anyone responsible enough to organise all these practice materials and stuff.... Damn...

Having said that, I'll still go for practice~ Simply love meeting and playing music with fellow alumnis~~~ Pls come back more often wif me, u all!! Lolzz :p

(Guitily) Scrubs Scrubs again~ Lolzz :p

Master Anand finally really left us for another section last wednesday le. Was so sad for the whole morning tat didn't really have any mood to work. To me, he's like our section papa le, muahaha~ Yucks. But true. Recently seems like got alot of saigang to do... Sometimes wonder if being too compromising and willing to help others is bad. Haha anyway, i'm on-course for the next 2 weeks!! Think it'll be like a real good getaway for me :] And yay i can give time for my injured wrist to have a proper rest. Been haunting me for over a month already!! Pls pls pls recover... Budden going for this course really means more saigang when i'm back... Arghh <(>_<)>

Haven't been doing all the things i liked to do since CNY. Must be the pig... the pig~ the PIG~~~ damn... Lolzz :p Nah, excuses!! Shall make myself get back to skating blogging and pic taking more often!!! Ok ok, enough about the complaints and whining~!!! Next chapter next chapter

The Home Things Episode

Show u all some nice things i have at home!! Hahaa... Ordinary things la...

The Can Opener

Mum bought tis reeeeaaally ordinary looking can opener back the other day. I was like, HAI~ for wat!? Wooahhh but turns out i was quite amazed by wat it does!! Maybe is i mountain turtle la... Hahaa :p But look, look~

Awww~ i'm a horrible photographer, But Just look at the finishing it gives~!!! Smooth edges, u can't even scratch ur fingers with the edges if u want to, let alone get cut!! And, u can use the lid as a cap if you're not done with the contents in the can. Wat's more, i did an experiment by cutting off the whole lid, filling the whole goddamn can with water and closing back the lid... When i overturned the filled can, the water doesn't leak out of the can!! Really said "WOW~~~" at tat point... Lolzz :p Errr~ just in case u guys/gals wonder, no, i'm not doing a commercial... Hahaa :p

The Door Gift
Was at this talk/seminar in my base before CNY and they gave us a door gift... Guess wat they gave us, of all things? PIG's HEAD!!! Wah Biang~~~ i know we all still owe them few years worth of work time... Also no need remind us like tat mah.... Muahaha :p Ok it's not so bad la, it's a PIG RADIO. Look, look~

Cute mah? CUTE MAH!? Lolzz :p But of all things to give before CNY...... Tsk~ Hahaa =p

The Cupboard Guardian... Lolzz :p
Hmm, It's just a soft toy tat i own, tat i wanna talk about. I bought a pair of this, one black and one red, about 9 years back, in taiwan! I gave the black one away, though... Lolzz :p Yeah~ but i'll nvr get tired of it!! Take a look of it before i describe wat it does~ ^^

If u turn on it's switch, and u clap, there's this sensor which makes tis little thing go vibrating and moving towards you, and sounding like tis ->"Ah Haa~~~ Ha ha ha ha, Haaa~~~ Ha ha ha ha~!!" In mickey mao voice!!! Nice~!!! Even after all tis years!!! Lolzz :p

Tat's all i'll write for now~!!! Soccer match start le!!! Lolzz :p Tataz~!! ^^

Merry New Year~!!! ^^

It's been an amazing though not so exciting week. Worse thing being that i put aeroplane to NPS fellas!! Lolzz :p

V day

Remember i went skating from 12am+ to 2am++ on tuesday night? On V day noon itself then Jonathan confirmed that our NPS outing still on.. too tired to join them go cheong liao lo~~~ So put aeroplane!! Lolzz :p Anyway i reached home quite late tat day after work... About 7pm! It was too early to sleep though, so i went skating till 8+... Then had to stop cos a bunch of malay boys started playing soccer at the basketball court i was skating on. I joined them for the soccer game though~ So fun!! It's been years since i last kicked a ball, i think. I'm still pretty good!!! Hahaa :p Played till 9.30pm... then went home, took a bath... tired but feeling happy with myself and happily thinking of going to sleep, my mum asked me to eat some oranges though so i went online and read some articles on skating while having the oranges. Wah Biang~ Wrong move man... by the time i slept, it was close to 12midnight!! It's no big deal, except that i had to drag myself out of bed to watch the Arsenal vs Bolton soccer match at 4am... Arghhh~ consecutive 2 days of less than 4hrs sleep!!

Arsenal vs Bolton

Yay~!!! Arsenal finally won against Bolton le...!! The curse is off!!

不枉 my dragging myself out of bed to support them... Hahaa :p Somehow i had the feeling they'd win... and they did!! Was glaring and cursing and swearing at all the chances Julio Baptista missed though... Imagine the look on my face when Bolton equalised in stoppage time!! Honestly, Arsenal could have won easily by 3 or 4 goals if not for his poor form tat day. grrr~~~ Wat's his problem!?? Wanna slap him sia... Lolzz :p Well Arsenal still won in extra time though, so i'll forgive him tis time.. Muahaha :D

Kuang's Gugu hair

Kuang came a visiting on Thurs night to bring us some Bak Gua. Awww~ And i had a report i wanted to finish tat day, i ended up entertaining him till 10+pm!! I finally agar agar finished my report at about 12am... It's not as good as i originally intended it to be though :p Well, i don't really mind la, 有朋自遠方來, 不亦樂乎?

Hahaa *Beams* (^___^)

The main thing i wanna talk about his visit though, is.... His Gugu Hairstyle!!! Muahaha wah he very kelian come my home let me suan, still ok, let my eldest bro suan, still ok, my mum also lament on his hairstyle!!! And i made him let me take pics for him for tis section of my blog, loooook!!! Hahahaa oooooo~~~~ Buay tahan sia :D See the 草菇 he planted on his head!! Hahaa :p

Kuang and his 草菇

Very 無聊 now~~~
Arghhh~~~ abit sianzz now!! Nothing much i wanna do leh... and it's raining, so i can't go out for abit of sunning or something. I did something for myself though~ Look!! the makeshift cones i made for myself using some leftover Origami papers... Lolzz :p

Feeling pleased with myself!! *beams*

But ah~~~ sianz now~~~~~~ 好無聊好無聊~~~ <(@@)>

Happy to be me ^____^
