Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll

Love Game

2011-06-15T18:32:00.004+08:00

There is always a period of time when a lot of my friends get attached at the same time (The Fall-In-Love Period) and a period of time when a lot of them end their relationships together (The Break Up Period). Recently, The Break Up Period is back and I am witnessing a lot of my friends' relationships going down the drain.

Sad to admit this, but I am saddened by the fact that the couple my friends and I brought together five years back ended their long relationship, a relationship which I thought, and hoped would have lasted forever. Albeit knowing this day will come sooner or later (due to their constant disagreements, and differences in views), I am reluctant to accept the fact that they are no longer together.

Relationships these days are very different from our parents, or even grandparents' generations. In the past, there are a lot of male chauvinist with huge ego in the Asian society, while the women follows whatever their husband says, without her own opinions, or rather, do not dare to voice out their own opinions.

We are living in the 21st century and girls nowadays are opened to a more westernized society, along with their higher level of education, and thus having a stronger opinion on what they think is right, or wrong. We cannot manage our relationships (be it romantically or not) like how our forefathers did.

Girls and guys, the first thing you need to know about managing your relationship is that, we are all built differently. While GENERALLY, girls have more empathy and feelings, guys tend to be "cooler" and nonchalant.

Guys, you need to pick up little hints in your everyday life with your other half. She might be dropping little hints here and there about what you should do. You might think that you are being the perfect boyfriend, but is she thinking the same? Understand your girl, understand what she wants, and not do what you think is right, if not, one day you will end up a lonely man thinking "What did I do wrong?".

Girls, you need to understand that guys are built differently. They do not have as much empathy, understanding, and feeling as you have. You can't beat around the bush and drop little hints here and there. Guys need you to tell them straight in the face "YOU SHOULD BE DOING THIS INSTEAD OF THIS IF NOT I WILL FEEL THAT YOU ARE BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.". After saying so, I cannot guarantee you that your man will do as what you say as guys being guys, they will think that "Why must I do that? It doesn't sound logical to me." and continue their old ways.

Knowing these, I feel that in every relationship, compromising is very important. You can't satisfy both parties as we are all built differently as mentioned earlier, so compromising and understand is very, very important in every relationship. You need to find a common goal to work towards to make your relationship works. It's easier said than done of course, I know that too, hence communication is important. Girls, you need to start talking and stop hinting, while guys, you need to start listening and stop assuming!

Guys, if you need to understand your girl more, perhaps you will like to read this! All from a girl's point of view about relationships.

With that, I wish that all of you out there will find someone who will truly appreciates you and may you have a blessed relationship.

Love,
JS

RANT RANT RANT!

2011-05-30T19:23:00.002+08:00

I need to rant! I am under a huge amount of pressure and I'm trying to be not all-stress-out.

*Random Update* OK. Just got a call from boss *End of Random Update*

Well, I've nobody else but myself to blame as I've caused myself to land into the plight I'm in today.

*Another Random Update* Boss just called and said he will come and pick me up and back to office now *End of Another Random Update*

1 month of Bo-Chup-ness has landed me into the state I am in right now. I am of course clearing up all the back-logs and it's hard to pick up the momentum I used to have, cause I am now used to doing NOTHING. I'm struggling with the effing tight schedule and lack of manpower and all the events that are coming up. *Deep breath JS, take a deep breath*

While I am struggling at work, my body is struggling too. I am possibly suffering from being allergic to a certain new medicine I am on and it's making me really uncomfortable. Diarrhea, dizziness, frequent headaches, and I've no time to go back to the clinic. I'm supposed to drop the pharmacist a call today but didn't have the time and mood to call. ROAR!

A lot of shit has been going on and I really feel like giving up sometimes. I don't know who to turn to for support because nobody really understands how I feel. A lot of people kept asking, "Why are you still bothering? You are going to ORD soon." and I couldn't give them an answer. I don't know why too.

Despite me having my 12 weeks excuse uniform, but the main purpose is not to skip work, as I am not allowed to carry out some work due to safety reasons. I am still continuing with my daily routine, fighting along side with my man and doing all the shit. Sometimes, I wonder to myself why am I doing all these, and why should I care, since everyone else don't seems to care.

OK. Back to office before I continue the rant alright. Hold on.

Alrght, I am back now, at 2230hrs! KUDOS!

Anyway, where did I stop. Hmmm. Yea, I can't remember what I want to rant about already. Damn tired. Shall end my post here abruptly. Goodnight!

Sleep Paralysis

2011-05-29T20:43:00.002+08:00

Ever heard of this term "Sleep Paralysis"? Well, in short, it is a condition that you find yourself unable to move or speak while awake, and sometimes, with paranormal encounters.

Why am I talking about this today? Easy, for the past 1.5 months, I've experienced that for at least 3 times, and my mom, at least twice. If you read the link above, you will find out that there are different stages of sleep, "Deep Sleep", "Light Sleep" and "Rapid Eye Movements".

According to a doctor, some causes of Sleep Paralysis includes having a heavy meal before sleeping, not enough fluid before sleep, lack of sleep, jet lag and so on.

Let me share with you 2 out of my 3 recent encounters (as the 2nd one wasn't "ghostly" at all). My first encounter was on April's Fool night (at about 1 am). It was during my uncle's funeral and I thought I would lie down on my bed for awhile before heading down for my "shift" to look after the funeral area. It was within a short period of 30 minutes on my bed when all these happened.

I couldn't move but usually a person experiencing it will be unable to speak as well, however, for my case, it was a little different, I could say my prayers, and that was the only voice that came out of me. I had a little struggle that night and finally I was able to turn my body, but I black out straight after that for a few good seconds, and in my semi awake state (I can't move after that turn, mind you), I saw a figure standing right in the middle of my room.

It was a tall and slim man in a pants, however, I can only see him from shoulder down. The older folks in my family went on and on about what I've seen and debated and finally came to a conclusion that it was my grandfather that I "saw", after all, my grandfather lived and died peacefully in my current room, before I was born.

My third encounter was about the same, but it was a lot less dramatic. All I saw was a brown patch floating from my foot to next to my face and started brushing against my face.

During this period of time, my mom also had a few encounters of being pressed down while she's awake and she woke up screaming at least twice, in the middle of the night, which scared the hell out of everyone at home.

Well, while you continue on your debates on whether it was a ghostly encounter or a medically provable condition, I will like to tell you what I just found out. My sister's boyfriend has been seeing a slim old man (A description that matched with my grandfather, who died before I was born) around my house, in the living room and the kitchen. Scary or what?!

Training.

2011-05-12T19:28:00.000+08:00

How should I go about training my junior? How do I bring out his leadership qualities and capabilites? I only have a few months, but I need him to be better than me. I need a plan.

I think I need 2 of my juniors to work hand-in-hand. I need to organize my thoughts and come up with a monster training, soon, real soon.

Any suggestions how I should go about bringing out one's potential?

For My Cousins (GE2011)

2011-05-09T22:00:00.003+08:00

Dear cousins,

I have heard about the conversation between you people (I am going to use you in general for future references) and my other cousin and I wish to make my stand clear. So this article is out for you.

Firstly, I understand that you people are pro-PAP, and I would like you to know that I am not against them too. Yes, I have voted for the opposition party, but I am voting the opposition party not just because I want to oppose. There might be people out there like this, but please bear in mind that not everyone is like this! The reason why I voted for them is because I've done my extensive research and found that this party can actually speak up for us. I've mentioned before (maybe not to you), but if another party with crappy ideas coming to my area to contest, they will definitely not receive my vote.

Our generation is mostly well-educated with at least an A-Level certificate and we have our own set of thinking. We know that what the PAP can bring for us (with their track records), but our oppositions are no push-overs either (not all of them of course). A lot of my mates have done their researches online, listened to their rallies, went through a lot of thinking, before casting our sacred vote.

Let me quote one of my friend: "I voted for the PAP because NSP's idea of having the same price for HDB apartments throughout the Tampines is ridiculous."

It is unfair to say that we are opposing for the sake of opposing. If that's the case, aren't you voting PAP for the sake of voting for PAP?

You might say, PAP has done so much for us over the years, what have the oppositions done? Think about it, were they even given a chance? I am sorry but to say, your point here is not very strong as they were not given much chance to prove themselves.

You brought up issues such as why areas under the oppositions are not upgraded and as well designed as those under PAPs and said, "Of course la, they didn't vote for us of course people who are under us get the benefits first."

Are these people in those area not paying the same amount of tax? Are these people in the area not Singaporeans? THOSE MONEY BELONGS TO THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT, NOT PAP!

I am also very unhappy about you bringing up another issue about education, relating it to one of our family members. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THAT PARTICULAR COUSIN WAS PRO-PAP EVEN TILL A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE GE! If you have no idea, please do not comment on why he voted for the opposition for this GE.

You said that he is pissed off with the Education System of Singapore and her daughter cannot get into a local university due to bad results, and it is her fault for not studying hard enough. LET ME TELL YOU THIS! Singapore based everything on results, and a large percentage of the universities admission is reserved for the JC students. Just because we came from a Polytechnic doesn't make us any more stupid than you JC students are!

Yes, you got your degree, you've make enough money to let you live comfortably, but please spare a thought for the middle and lower class income people like me, who don't own the 5 Cs and some even struggling to make ends meet. The only voices the PAP are hearing are from people of the higher class, hence we voted for the oppositions, so the voices of the middle and lower class income people can be heard.

Oppositions are not there just for the sake of opposing. They are there to make the people's voice heard! You said, let's look at the next 5 years how well the oppositions can do lor, but let me tell you, nothing much can be done because it is a 6 VERSUS 81 situation. It's not what can be implemented to help us that matters to me, is how hard they are fighting for us.

Take a look at Mr Chiam for example. He has been slogging his guts out for the past 2decades when he can simply retire and enjoy life, but he didn't. He stayed on for the people. He did not only appear once every 5 years when the election is around the corner, but was there for his people all the time. This is why over the years, people still respected and voted for him! This is call serving the people.

Another issue that was brought up was Nicole Seah. You said that what can a 24 years old do for us, but let me tell you, age is not a factor of what can be done, is the mind set and maturity of the person. Tin Pei Ling is 27 this year, 3 years older than her, but she can't handle situations half as well as Nicole, sorry, but that is what I feel. I feel that I can do the same amount of job, or perhaps a even better job than Tin Pei Ling with the same amount of guidance she is going to receive. I do not need someone who stamp her feet and says "I don't know what to say lar." to lead us. I can do that too. Is she worth the $16,000 monthly salary from the tax payer money? Please go and think about it! And if you are going to say she's young and has no track records and stuff like this, THE OPPOSITIONS HAVE NO TRACK RECORDS AS WELL! Why is she given a chance and why aren't you giving the oppositions a chance? And mentioned earlier, age is not a factor, mindset and thinking is way more important. Stop using her age as an excuse for her incapabilities!

One of my cousin told me that having 2 parties in the parliament will cause chaos, but let me tell you what I feel about it. We need someone to play the role of Devil's Advocate. I've been through a Polytechnic Education with lots of projects and events implemented by students, ourselves. If we don't have people with a different set of mindset (Different but open to opinions) we will never progress. Having an unified mindset may give you good ideas, but will it reach the level of GREAT ideas? When questioned "Why should we do this and not that?", we are not opposing for the sake of opposing. We are looking for alternative solutions to make our good idea even better!

There are a lot more points I wish to bring up but I decide that I should stop here before a family war starts between all of us.

With all due respect, you people are my elders, and I do not wish to offend you. This is just what I felt about your conversation and this are my say and viewpoints about it. Like it or not, if you don't open up your mind and take in suggestions and analyse what other people are saying, you are going to stay stagnant and not make any progress.

Regards,
JS

Speaking Up For Myself!

2011-05-09T12:39:00.002+08:00

I was contemplating whether or not to write an article about my views regarding the Singapore General Election 2011 that has just passed, but after reading an article "Past struggles forgotten by young: MM", I've decided that my voice needs to be heard, or rather, I need to make things clear, but before I start, I will like to make it clear that the following views are my opinions and I am not representing the Generation Y in general, who am I to represent all of them anyway?

Dear Sir, with all due respect, youngsters like me have, and will not forget how you bring Singapore to where it is now, how successful we have been, and will be. I am grateful to you for the efforts you have put in for Singapore over the past 46 years, however, these are years ago. You cannot use what you've been doing for the past 46 years (or more) and enforce it on my generation, the Generation Y. You are dealing with a totally different group of individuals. Unlike the Baby Bloomers, who are very loyal, the Generation X, who have families to look after, we Generation Y are people who are brought up to speak up for ourselves and have our very own ideas on how things should work. You cannot force your ideas on my generation as this will definitely backfire.

Let us move to my next point, the campaignings during the General Election 2011 period. I've understand that you and your team have "warned" people who are voting for the oppositions. Let me quote a few examples I found online.

In recent speeches, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong — Lee Kwan Yew's son — has warned voters to avoid opposition candidates, reminding them that the government favours pro-PAP districts with funding for improvements to the public housing where about 80 per cent of Singaporeans live.

"Don't rock this foundation," Lee said last week. "Remember, don't risk your assets, property values, job opportunities."

Voting and sacred and secret, it is the choices of the people of Singapore, why do we have to resort to, what I feel like threatening, to get your votes. Perhaps threatening is too strong a word, but I cannot find another word to replace it. If your team is truly strong and has been serving your people the right way, you do not have to resort to all these measures to get your vote.

I would also like to comment on the way that the campaignings are carried out (for both the PAP and the oppositions). A lot of the campaigns are done in such a way that the teams tell the people what they want to do for us, AND, bring the other party down by saying things that are against them (what they have not done well, having no track records etc.). Instead of focusing on other team's shortcomings, why not focus on your own shortcomings, and tell us how you can improve on it!

Yes Prime Minister Sir, I agreed, and noticed, that you have done that near the end of the campaigning period, but don't you find that it is all too late? People sees it as a last resort for pity, and not a sincere speech about how you are going about to improve your team's flaws.

Personally, I feel that there are a few major flaws in the voting system. Let me elaborate more in the next few paragraphs.

Firstly, I do not agree with writing down our "number" against the voting booklet as it defeats the purpose of the "Your vote is secret". It is not hard to find out who voted for who. Our names are check and marked on the nominal roll, so why go to the extra extend to write down our "number" on the voting booklet. Is it a measure to instill fear in the people who are going to vote against the PAP?

Secondly, I feel that the GRC voting system has a huge flaw. We are not voting people who are worthy and talented into the Parliament, but as a team as a whole. Why not change the voting by listing out the names and pictures of all the candidates, and we mark half of the people there that we think are worthy to be in the Parliament, worthy of the $16,000 monthly salary from the Tax Payer's money.

We are voting for some people with no leadership qualities and skills into the Parliament just because he/she is in a team with stronger members, and losing talents such as Mr George Yeo, Mr Chiam (who has been fighting hard for us commoners, the past few decades) and so on and so forth. These talents who can serve the people well are going to lose their jobs, and then when we go for "Meet-The-People" session in a certain GRC, all we are getting out of it is "I don't know what to say", while stamping his/her feet.

I am sorry but I have to say, I do not want to judge your maturity base on your age, as you can see a huge difference in how a 24 years old candidate handle situations as compared to a 27 years old. Age is not an issue, is the mindset.

Next issue I want to bring up is of course an issue brought up by the NSP in the Tampines GRC, cost of HDB apartments. I feel that a certain minister contradicted himself when he said that if the prices of HDB apartments remains low, then it is not worth the investment (not his exact words), and at the same time, introducing "cooling off" methods to bring down the HDB apartments prices and prevent speculations.

The initial idea of HDB apartments is to provide affordable houses for the middle, and lower class income citizens, however, prices have rocketed to sky-high and we have got to work our whole life away just to pay for a roof over our head.

Sir, I am not against you, so let me be fair here. I do not agree with the policy that NSP brought up, the same value for housing throughout the area, near or far away from the amenities such as the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations, and to put it crudely, I think it is bullsh*t.

I feel that we should set the prices (across the nation) as such that if you are within a distant of say, 1KM from amenities such as the MRT stations and schools, the prices will be at $X/sqf, and cheaper when further. And prices should also be determined by the area it is in. This kind of fixed prices will ensure that HDB apartments are affordable for the middle and lower income group, and is that not the main purpose why HDB is set up for?

I have been reading an article, and how reliable it is, I am not sure, but I feel that there is a certain truth in it. Let me copy and paste the whole article here (in case the link gets deleted):

PAP already knew the results hours before actual elections
Our writer posted this piece of news on Friday, May 06, 2011, 5:44 PM
Friction in PAP
Heard this from a reliable source amongst the highest echelons of the PAP.

The PAP was well aware that Aljunied is a risky proposition for them. This was clear even in 2006 and GY just scraped through.

The PAP also knew that this time LTK is going to contest the Aljunied GRC, especially after the electoral boundaries were redrawn. They had factored that in and they knew that Aljunied is a gonna in that case.

There was apparently considerable thinking to move GY to East coast GRC so that his success is guaranteed. This was mooted by GCT. It carried through the day and apparently GY was also sure that he would be moved to East Coast.

Suddenly for no apparent reason, Lim Swee Say was moved to East Coast and GY was retained at Aljunied. Apparently the decision was taken by LHL, TCH and WKS. No one knows the rationale for that decision.

There are 2 theories going around:

One, they didn't want to sacrifice Lim Swee Say and wanted a safe seat for him.
Second, some sections in the PAP believed that GY was gaining international stature (much more than the PM himself) and wanted to cut down his size. He was also considered to be GCT's man and LHL wanted him out respectably.

One should also note that it is only GCT who is making statements supporting GY. LHL is conspicuous by his silence on GCT. LKY's threat to Aljunied residents (leaving residents confused as per GY) is actually sounding the death knell for GY.

So, PAP wants GY to lose.
If this has even some truth to it, one can easily speculate that there's enough dissent even within PAP ranks and one just has to wait for Mentor Lee to exit for the dissent to come out in the open.

Based on last night's appraisal at PAP's HQ, they have given up on Aljunied and Hougang.

Everyone is keenly watching the Bishan - Toa Payoh GRC as that seems to be at risk now.

This is astonishing! The results turned out exactly how PAP wanted!

This is not exactly, but to a certain extend similar to what I was discussing with my cousins and friends before I even read this article. Yes, this is the kind of image you have been portraying to me, I shall not represent the whole Singapore here.

I have also watched a video regarding the walk-over of Tanjong Pagar GRC. I do not know how trust-worthy the video is, but I feel that it is worth a watch and let us consider and analyse.

I've been reading articles online (as I feel that the local media is very much controlled and is not as reliable and fair, sorry but to say that), and once read an article written by someone from overseas in reply to our MM Lee. I am sorry I cannot find the link, but this was mentioned in the article.

"Is growing GDP a measure to the quality of life? What about people like us who lives in with the nature, enjoying the fresh air, are we having a lower quality of life?" (This are not the exact words, but the meaning is there.

Of course, there are bias articles that were anti-PAP online such as the undermentioned, but these are only available online, as I have mentioned that our local media is very much controlled

I need your urgent advice about employing a maid. As a busy mother, I need someone reliable to help out at home.

My maid is from Profits Agency Pte (PAP) and she has worked for me for a long time. Her mother worked for my parents and did an excellent job, so I had faith in her. For several years her performance has been very good, but recently she has become arrogant and insensitive, and is making lots of mistakes.

For example:
1) She flooded my kitchen – she told me that the drain pipe has blocked (she was supposed to clear it once a month but didn’t). Then she assured me that it is very rare and won’t happen again in the near future. Guess what? It flooded again within a year!
2) She didn’t close a window and my terrier dog escaped. I was so worried cos he is dangerous and could bite lots of people. After the incident, she didn’t apologise and just shrugged her shoulders saying “What to do, it has happened.” Fortunately my neighbor found the dog and we locked it up again.
3) Without consulting me, she has been bringing in strangers for my house’s maintenance work. She says they charge low wages and keep costs down, but they eat my food, make a lot of noise and rest on my bed. I think they even tried to seduce my husband. It stopped feeling like my home, more like a cheap hotel, and I don’t always want to come back at the end of the day.
4) When she first came to work for me, I instructed her to clean the different parts of the house at least once a week. But for some time she has stopped taking care of the bedrooms of PP and H; they are now dirty and messy. I asked why and she told me that the kids had been disobedient, so she was neglecting their bedrooms as a punishment (she has forgotten that she is paid to clean all the rooms).

Even though my maid has worked for me for many years and I value what she has done in the past, I think she is now getting complacent. Her attitude is imperious and dismissive. She ignores my comments and basically treats my feedback as “noise”. I wrote to the agency about her behavior; they assured me that they are the best agency around and all their maids are “Committed to Serve” – but I think it is just rhetoric and I don’t see that in her actions. Her salary is much higher than maids in other countries, but the agency say this is to keep her honest and stop her moving to another employer. They say there is a limited supply of maids, and Singapore isn’t big enough for more than one good maid agency, so I should not trust their competitors.

I have to decide whether to renew my maid’s 5-year employment contract. When we discussed this she said that she is now part of a team, and if I want her I must also accept her friends doing part-time work for me. One friend is very inexperienced, can’t do basic tasks or explain what she intends to do. I suspect that she is actually underage. When interviewed, she only seemed interested in her days-off and visiting Universal Studios.

When she couldn’t answer my questions she stomped her foot and exclaimed, “I don’t know what to say!” But I am still expected to pay her a high salary. Now there happen to be a few other maid agencies – Workhard Pte (WP), New Solutions Pte (NSP), Super Personnel Pte (SPP) and Star Domestica Pte (SDP) – that offered me some helpers who seem sincere, genuine and intelligent. They are keen to work, willing to assist me and have a good attitude. I know that they may take a bit of time to learn how everything works, but frankly I am inclined to give them a chance.

People say that the devil you know is better than one you don’t. But I feel that I can’t tahan my current maid anymore.

Do you think I should sack my current maid and try out a new one? Appreciate your advice.

.

Dead End

I know that a lot of people of my age are afraid of voting for the PAP because they are afraid they will be unable to get HDB apartments in future if they want to get married and all, but dear government, I like you to know that I voted for the opposition, not because I want to oppose you. If a lousy opposition party (I do not wish to name names) with stupid and unrealistic plans came to the GRC I belong to and contest, I will definitely vote for you too. Like mentioned on my Twitter and Facebook accounts, "Just to be clear,I'm not anti-PAP.I'm as disappointed when George Yeo lost.I'm disappointed that people who don't deserve it took the seats."

I am grateful for your past contributions, but it is time for us to be move on. "If we are going to feel in-debt to the PAP, we will forever be in debt."-Anonymous.

Our GDP has been growing, our country has been doing very well monetary wise, but have us, citizen been doing well financially? When company cut cost to increase their profits to improve our GDP, what are the cost we are cutting? Our wages? With the rising cost of living, and our never-growing pay package, how are we expected to survive?

The government has been talking about low birth-rates and let me show you one of the link to the low birth rate:

Salary remains the same -> Rising cost of living, in bringing up children, in buying a house -> having children means I've to work till I die. What is the point of me getting married and having decendants? And with the amount of stress we are facing at work (despite our low wages), who have the time and mood for pro-creation?

Bringing in foreign talents so that our GDP will grow, but you fail to see, you are bringing in cheaper workers, making Singaporeans wages seem so expensive, and hence foreigners get the jobs and not us, locals! And in the view point of an employer, why pay more for someone who has to be absent for 4 months after giving birth, and disappear once a year for reservist when I can pay a cheaper worker and he/she will have lesser chance of being absent (forcefully)?

I think I should end here before my post end up as a story book. To anyone I've offended in this post, I hereby apologize. I am only a 21 years old boy and that's my 2 cents worth of what I feel about Singapore. If you are going to sue me for anything, sorry but to say, I've got no money so just send me to the jail or perhaps...

Regards,
JSlogy.

2011 Horoscope: Leo(2011 Leo Horoscope - Based on Moon Sign)

2011 Leo Horoscope - Based on Moon Sign

2011 will be an average year, which would become better as the year progresses. You will become more positive and clear in your thinking once you get into May 2011. The year will begin with your mind muddled up and negative or self defeating thinking prevalent. Some strategic decisions could be poor during this time, and you will understand the implication and the resultant clarity after 2nd May 2011.

It would be better to defer important decisions to May 2011 and the period beyond that. You will be tempted to make major changes in career during this year. It would however be useful to avoid making any significant changes now.

Luck will jump up significantly after 8th May 2011. You will find creative thinking and new ideas will bring up a much higher level of growth and progress now. Religion & spirituality will be higher than usual on your agenda, post May 2011.

Travel for pleasure will be possible many times this year.

Children will remain a source of happiness now.

Money matters will see high outflows and contractions in the area, due to extremely high commitments now. Some amount of debt is possible to. It would be useful to remain judicial in your spending. Investments made now, under pressure would be good.

Some distances with family are inevitable, however 15th November onwards a bright & positive period would result. Growth in career & personal life possible.

Broadly you will find the trends during the year broken up between the following periods:

1st January to early May 2011

May to 15th November 2011

15th November to 31st December 2011

Leo Horoscope for the first phase till early May 2011 - This would be the most challenging phase of the year. Your thinking could be pessimistic coupled with complexes and some insecurity in outlook. Some irrational decisions could emerge out of this thinking due to which you should avoid major decisions or changes during this phase. Finances & family matters would remain challenging. Period beyond 26th January 2011, would be difficult. You need to be cautious about what you speak & write, since it could backfire upon you. New financial commitments should not be made, since the older commitments will need to be serviced and cause some amount of pressure. Significant events like getting married, changes in career, new partnerships should be avoided.

Leo Horoscope between May & 15th November 2011 - A major turn around would come in your life and general outlook now. Thinking & confidence will undergo changes significantly. On one hand you will experience a much higher level of clarity in your thinking and positivism, while on the other hand luck will rise and confidence would be bolstered. Issues in financial matters will tone down after the 12th June 2011. After this date you can safely commence new projects and increase the level of activity. Travel will be beneficial. Rise in spirituality would come easily to you. You might not get the support at home and so would have to take a hard stand to pursue you thoughts.

31st August onwards, you will enter into a phase of higher activity. Travel would rise and so would the opportunities which would bring in progress and better luck. Despite the upswing, you could be tempted on many occasions to bring about a major change in career. It could be due to your insecurity of the past or some sudden ideas from within or suggested by people around you. Despite all the temptation, it would be useful to remain persistent in your activities and not change course at all. You should remain conservative in money matters throughout & ensure you plan your family & work in a manner that beyond 15th November you can get into a higher phase of activity & expansion.

Leo Horoscope between 16th November 2011 and 31st December 2011, would be the best phase of the year. You will see growth and new avenues open up in front of you. Luck will continue to favor you and all your new endeavors would be rewarded well. The irrational level of activity will fall after the 25th December 2011, paving the way for better and more organized life style. Domestic discontent could grow as the level bonding, due to high activity would fall. You need to invest in family time, else problems will build up a couple of years down the line.

Grilling The Reaper

2010-10-12T17:51:00.002+08:00

Read this on Leona's Blog and thought it was really, really good.

Moments after Charlie Bobbs died, the grim reaper appeared before his weeping soul.

Grim Reaper (GR) : Now that you’re clear why you’re here, shall we…?
Charles Bobbs (CB) : Hold on. I’m not clear at all! I don’t understand why I’m here!
GR: Well, you’re dead. You just cried looking at your own body…
CB: I know I’m dead. That’s me twisted & sprawled all over the roadside. If that isn’t dead, I don’t know what is…
GR: Then you’re clear.
CB: No, that’s not what I meant! I meant I shouldn’t be dead! I’m only 30 years old, in good health, no criminal records & have a good job. In fact, I was supposed to get a promotion & run a new high-profile project. I’m in my prime & you had an ice-cream truck ran over me while I was having my breakfast! I didn’t even get to finish my tea! I deserve an explanation!
GR: Well, I didn’t drive that truck.
CB: As the Grim Reaper, you dare say that you had nothing to do with my death?
GR: Ok, let’s make things simple. I took you because there’s no other way.
CB: You could let me live!
GR: That isn’t an option. You cannot continue to live. You’re quite a threat to everyone else.
CB: What? A threat? I’m just a builder. I build homes, comfortable ones at that.
GR: That’s not all. You’re also a division head for a development in Cuba. Well, that was supposed to happen next month anyway.
CB: And why is that a reason to have me killed?
GR: You see, you’re a key personnel in having that project finished in time. And since you’re incorruptible, the project will be standing for many years.
CB: That doesn’t make any sense. I died because I do my job?
GR: That development will house some of the world’s most dangerous underworld kingpins who’ll run operations with seamless efficiency. By completing the project, all the key characters will move in, which will then lead to a chain of events.
CB: You’re telling me that by being neighbours, these bosses will have a better working environment? And that will endanger others?
GR: Something like that.
CB: THAT’S ABSURD! They would run operations regardless of where they are. They’ve been doing that for a very long time! It has nothing to do with the estate I’m supposed to be working on.
GR: Not quite. The estate you’re supposed to be working on will not only house the ringleaders. It’ll also house their families. To be more specific, 2 families will merge when their children get married. When that happens, then we’ll have a real problem because, not only do they deal in black market firearms, they instigate political tension & military pressure. Forgot to mention that the firearms are pretty badass - Five megatons bad.
CB: That’s really far from the point. Why kill me & not them instead?
GR: Ironically, killing them is bad for quite a lot of people.
CB: “Ironic” sounds so understated. Why would getting rid of bad guys be a bad thing?
GR: Although their work is detrimental to others, it’s rather essential. You see, they create jobs in various industries both legal & illegal. Without these jobs, a lot of people will suffer especially now when the financial divide is so large. The wealthy are suffocating the poor. Think of their organization as something similar to any government, regardless of policies.
CB: In that case, don’t kill all of them. Take 1 or 2. That should be enough to let me live longer right?
GR: Getting rid of the smallest mob boss will cost 50 people their jobs that will have a complicated ripple effect on their respective societies for a period of time. In your case, if we were to prevent the family merger, we would’ve to get rid of one of the boss’ children, which is not a good idea because that would make things worse. One would cease operations & cause a catastrophic meltdown among global financial institutions. The other would step up operations & eventually, run the nuke business himself. If you died, that’s only 1 life.
CB: Sounds like I was made to be a martyr. You could’ve prevented me from getting that job.
GR: I take lives, not jobs. But I understand that it was quite a dead end for you. Any progression you take from here onwards would be a threat to others.
CB: This isn’t fair. I’ve done my best to be what I am & make something for myself & you just creamed me instead of those troublemakers who you claim, are actually saints. Doesn’t sound fair to me at all!
GR: Well look on the bright side. At least you don’t need anything material anymore. You could go to what people call, “heaven”
CB: It’s far too early for me to go there. I still had not had the chance to see the world. I didn’t even say my goodbyes. Besides, what can I look forward to in “heaven” anyway?
GR: Honestly, there’s nothing much in “heaven”. The fact that people dedicate their lives to being there is rather overrated, although sometimes noble
CB: Sometimes noble? I thought it’s ALWAYS good to want to be good? Besides, I’m not religious at all & I’ve sinned many times, yet I get to go to “heaven”? I’m not only dead, I’m also confused now.
GR: Ok first thing’s first. Good is what your world tells you. Not everyone can agree on all things that are good. You didn’t agree with me that the mafia is inherently good, did you? Now, you’ll also probably disagree with me when I say some God worshipers are not quite as good as you may think.
CB: You’re right. I disagree. How can these worshipers not be good people?
GR: First of all, should it depend on what they’re worshipping? Buddhism, Catholics, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Mormon, Shinto & even Scientology: which do you think is the correct religion? It’d also depend on who’s worshiping. Just so you know, most mafia members are very religious people & some of them even sponsor churches. You think they’d go to “hell” because they’re in the mob? Sometimes yes sometimes no.
CB: Even if the religion is not entirely correct, the fact that they’re worshiping a greater power has to account for something, right? I mean, although the practice may not be the same but in the end they live by the teachings. Basically tells us not to be an asshole to others at whatever the cost.
GR: Frankly, I’m surprised at how naïve you can get. Although religion can offer us some very good advice in life, not everyone practice religion for that reason. Some practice religion because they think they have to. Some practice religion because they want something in return. Some practice religion because they’re afraid of God. Some practice religion because their parents did. Not everyone is sincere.
CB: I know very good religious people who are always kind, helpful & thoughtful to others. They never ask for anything in return & yet they’re always charitable
GR: Which is why I said not everyone is sincere. In fact, step back a little & think, are all non-religious people you know not as kind, helpful, thoughtful or charitable as the religious ones?
CB: Well, some non-religious people I know are not so bad themselves
GR: You see the concept is to have a good life & to be the best you can be. Do not harm others because that doesn’t make you a very nice person. Basically that’s it. If people practice religion so that they can go to “heaven”, then they’re just insulting the religion. Religion is not a competition & “heaven” is not the prize. If people practice religion because they’re afraid of going to “hell”, then they’re just as bad. It’d make more sense if people view religion as a guide & not treat it like a law.
CB: But you mentioned that there’s nothing much in “heaven”, why would people want to go there so badly?
GR: You didn’t know that “heaven” is nothing much before I told you about it, right? Some believe that you can get everything in “heaven”. Even if it’s true, in “heaven”, you can get everything your heart desires: A big house, a supercar, a yacht, hundreds of virgins & a nice little koi pond, I suppose that sometime during eternity, all this would be meaningless. There’s no sense of achievement anymore because there’s no sweat put into it. You don’t appreciate all of it as much because it’s always there for you. Luxury will be tasteless & wouldn’t that scare you? Having everything & forever not able to appreciate any of it. If that were the only thing in “heaven” I would be pretty depressed after a few thousand years.
CB: I’ve not had the chance to enjoy anything when I was alive. Are you saying that, even in death, I can’t be enjoying all that I missed? Sounds like I got the bad end of the deal.
GR: Well, true that it does sound sucky now. But think about it this way, your death saved, potentially, thousands of lives. That’s something not everyone can achieve. In fact, some people are not even worth their own lives.
CB: I was about to say I don’t care about those lives & that I just want my own, but that sounds rather selfish of me.
GR: Well said…
CB: I guess there’s no use in me complaining now. So, what’s going to happen? Will I hang around “heaven” & not enjoy anything? Or is there something else I can do?
GR: After a few thousand years, you could be like me. Or do another job working for the higher power. You could do that in a few hundred years if you’re good enough.
CB: Like you? You mean replace you? I thought you are omnipresent. You can never be replaced?
GR: Who said anything about replacing me? I said be like me. I’m not the only grimreaper here. Thousands of people die each day & I can’t possibly meet all of them & still have time to chat like this with you.
CB: You mean there’s more than one grim reaper?
GR: Makes sense, doesn’t it? Everybody who goes to “heaven” shall be in service of the higher power. They can be the grim reaper, guardian angel, seer or all 3 if they like. Alternatively, they can do nothing. Whichever they prefer. I chose to be the grim reaper because I’m not very good at math.
CB: I suppose I have a seer watching over me, right? Otherwise you people wouldn’t know what would happen if I continue to live. Problem is, I don’t think I have a guardian angel since I’m talking to you so early in my life.
GR: Well, she tried her best. Tried to make you fail on a few occasions but you were too persistent. So you got yourself a good life, which was the death of you
CB: We’re on an irony streak.
GR: Sorry that it had to be this way.
CB: This all sounds strange. It’s as if all my life’s knowledge & beliefs have been ridiculed just by talking to you, a soul working as a grim reaper
GR: Weird isn’t it? Could you imagine, when I died, I was illiterate. I couldn’t understand anything the grim told me. Took me 20 years to finally realize I’m dead. If you’re ready, perhaps we should get back to business?
CB: What business?
GR: Now that you’re clear why you’re here, shall we take a walk? My name is Thomas & I am your guide.
CB: You have a name?
GR: Souls come from people & people have names. Give me some credit here.
CB: Sorry, I honestly didn’t mean it. So what’s it like being dead for so long?
GR: Not much really…

Sam guessed my personality right and said whatever it said about ISFJ is like describing me!

ISFJs are characterized above all by their desire to serve others, their "need to be needed." In extreme cases, this need is so strong that standard give-and-take relationships are deeply unsatisfying to them; however, most ISFJs find more than enough with which to occupy themselves within the framework of a normal life. (Since ISFJs, like all SJs, are very much bound by the prevailing social conventions, their form of "service" is likely to exclude any elements of moral or political controversy; they specialize in the local, the personal, and the practical.)

ISFJs are often unappreciated, at work, home, and play. Ironically, because they prove over and over that they can be relied on for their loyalty and unstinting, high-quality work, those around them often take them for granted--even take advantage of them. Admittedly, the problem is sometimes aggravated by the ISFJs themselves; for instance, they are notoriously bad at delegating ("If you want it done right, do it yourself"). And although they're hurt by being treated like doormats, they are often unwilling to toot their own horns about their accomplishments because they feel that although they deserve more credit than they're getting, it's somehow wrong to want any sort of reward for doing work (which is supposed to be a virtue in itself). (And as low-profile Is, their actions don't call attention to themselves as with charismatic Es.) Because of all of this, ISFJs are often overworked, and as a result may suffer from psychosomatic illnesses.

In the workplace, ISFJs are methodical and accurate workers, often with very good memories and unexpected analytic abilities; they are also good with people in small-group or one-on-one situations because of their patient and genuinely sympathetic approach to dealing with others. ISFJs make pleasant and reliable co-workers and exemplary employees, but tend to be harried and uncomfortable in supervisory roles. They are capable of forming strong loyalties, but these are personal rather than institutional loyalties; if someone they've bonded with in this way leaves the company, the ISFJ will leave with them, if given the option. Traditional careers for an ISFJ include: teaching, social work, most religious work, nursing, medicine (general practice only), clerical and and secretarial work of any kind, and some kinds of administrative careers.

While their work ethic is high on the ISFJ priority list, their families are the centers of their lives. ISFJs are extremely warm and demonstrative within the family circle--and often possessive of their loved ones, as well. When these include Es who want to socialize with the rest of the world, or self-contained ITs, the ISFJ must learn to adjust to these behaviors and not interpret them as rejection. Being SJs, they place a strong emphasis on conventional behavior (although, unlike STJs, they are usually as concerned with being "nice" as with strict propriety); if any of their nearest and dearest depart from the straight-and-narrow, it causes the ISFJ major embarrassment: the closer the relationship and the more public the act, the more intense the embarrassment (a fact which many of their teenage children take gleeful advantage of). Over time, however, ISFJs usually mellow, and learn to regard the culprits as harmless eccentrics :-). Needless to say, ISFJs take infinite trouble over meals, gifts, celebrations, etc., for their loved ones--although strong Js may tend to focus more on what the recipient should want rather than what they do want.

Like most Is, ISFJs have a few, close friends. They are extremely loyal to these, and are ready to provide emotional and practical support at a moment's notice. (However, like most Fs they hate confrontation; if you get into a fight, don't expect them to jump in after you. You can count on them, however, run and get the nearest authority figure.) Unlike with EPs, the older the friendship is, the more an ISFJ will value it. One ISFJ trait that is easily misunderstood by those who haven't known them long is that they are often unable to either hide or articulate any distress they may be feeling. For instance, an ISFJ child may be reproved for "sulking," the actual cause of which is a combination of physical illness plus misguided "good manners." An adult ISFJ may drive a (later ashamed) friend or SO into a fit of temper over the ISFJ's unexplained moodiness, only afterwards to explain about a death in the family they "didn't want to burden anyone with." Those close to ISFJs should learn to watch for the warning signs in these situations and take the initiative themselves to uncover the problem.

I turn 21 today.

2010-07-29T17:35:00.002+08:00

Ahhhhh, someone just reminded me that I've got a blog! Sorry dear blog for neglecting you. Have been really, really busy recently.

Seniors left camp, took over and terrorized the camp, screwed up, make things right, endless work, nightmares about work blah blah blah.

Birthday is coming soon but I don't feel it. A lot of my friends are asking me what I want for my birthday, but I really don't know. I just want to be happy, simple as that.

Anyway, happy 21st birthday to me. =)

Ripped off from Post Secret.

Don't Let Me Fall

2010-05-29T21:21:00.001+08:00

Underneath the moon,
Underneath the stars
Heres a little heart for you
Up above the world,
Up above it all
Heres a hand to hold on to

But if I should break,
If I should fall away
What am I to do?
I need someone to take,
A little of the weight
Or I'll fall through

You're just the one
That I've been waiting for
I'll give you
All that I have
To give and more
But don't let me fall

Take a little time,
Walk a little line
Got the balance right
Give a little love,
Gimme just enough
So that I can hang on tight

We will be alright,
I'll be by your side
I wont let you down
But I gotta know,
No matter how things go
That you will be alright

You're just the one
That I've been waiting for
I'll give you all
That I have
To give and more
But don't let me fall

Underneath the moon,
Underneath the stars
Heres a little heart for you
Up above the world,
Up above it all
Heres a hand to hold on to

Your just the one
That I've been waiting for
I'll give you
All that I have
To give and more
But don't let me fall

You'll be the one
That I'll love forever more
I'll be here holding you
High above it all
But don't let me fall

360 degree?

I don't understand why must people say 360 degree change to emphasize a huge and drastic change when 360 degree means that it goes back to the same spot/direction.

Sorry but I am just being anal.

I've got people complaining about my stagnant blog so here I am, once again, blogging for your viewing pleasure. There's nothing much about my life to blog about and hence the lifeless blog. Well, I got bored awhile ago, about 3 minutes ago so I decided to photoshop a picture that's take about a year back.

I think my photoshopping skills are getting from bad to worse. HAHAHAHA. Here we go...

That's all for now folks. I will try to update more frequently. :D

2010-03-09T15:44:00.001+08:00

18 months please pass fast.

2010-02-02T21:20:00.002+08:00

Mary is going back to Philippines in a while. Two years past just like that and her contract is up. I haven't really seen the new maid and can't remember how she looks like although she's been here for a few days. I think we'll all miss her.

Just bid her goodbye and she is now tearing.

BYE MARY! Hope you've enjoyed your stay here and return home safely.

2010-01-12T22:06:00.000+08:00

Is this the kind of life I want? Leave home before the sun rises, and reach home after the sun sets. Sigh.

2010-01-06T19:57:00.002+08:00

Christmas is over. Sigh.

Guard duty on Friday. Double Sigh.

No money. Triple Sigh.

2010-01-02T17:52:00.003+08:00

Haven't blogged for a month and yes, I've been lazy to do that. Year 2009 has come to an end and we've step into a new decade.

I am turning 21 this year and I am still not ready (like any other year prior to this since I erm, turn 16?) for it.

On the eve's of the brand new year, I met up with Leona, Mary and Calvin for a little "celebration" and we made videos once again. I was asked to talk about my 2009 and what I am expecting for 2010 and seriously, I got nothing much to say. That was when I started questioning myself "What have I done in 2009?".

Let me see, what have I done in 2009?

Screw my grades further
Graduate from TP
Got a job and quit within 1 week
Got another job and work for 4 months
*CENSORED*
Celebrated my 20th birthday in Redang
*CENSORED*
Went to Bintan
Enlisted into the AH MEE
POP-ed
Went to Phuket

That's all basically.

So what do I want to achieve in 2010?

*CENSORED*
Get my driving licence
~~Get a 3SG rank if possible~~ Thought it over and decided not to.
Don't get into too much trouble
Save up (my financial health is horrendous)
Go on more trips

OK la, that's all for now. Till next time!

2009-11-29T18:45:00.002+08:00

After so many weeks, I still hate the feeling of booking in. Sigh. This week's book in is much later than usual though, however, it still sucks :( I hate it I hate it I hate it. ARGHHHH. Got to go soon. Goodbye world. Another week of lack of contact with the outside world, the real world.

2009-11-27T21:44:00.002+08:00

2 more weeks and I'll be through!

I'm enjoying my long weekend (from Wednesday to Sunday, WOO OOH!) and boy, good time seems to past very fast. It always feels like this when you are enjoying yourself.

Next week will be a week full of drills and parade stuff, in preparation of my P.O.P on the 9th (which is less than 2 weeks away)! I can't wait to get out of hell but that's about 21 more months away.

Been thinking a lot about my future recently, but I am still very lost. What I want to achieve most in my life for the next decade will be to obtain a degree and then get a job overseas. Now, the thing is, how to get there and achieve it? Time for me to rack my brain :).

Meanwhile, let me just look forward to my trip to Phuket in less than 2 weeks. It's a hard to come by trip and there's a lot of problems faced while planning this trip. Now that this trip is finally coming true, I am just going to enjoy myself. :D

PHUKET

2009-11-21T20:00:00.004+08:00

I caught Paranormal Activity and 2012 on Friday and Saturday respectively. Like mentioned in one of the previous blog posts, Paranormal Activity is just so-so, in fact, it's not so great at all. It's like Blair Witch Project I watched years ago, except less shaky. The plot is pretty cliché and you can easily guess what’s going to happen next. As for 2012, you know, the usual “I am going to die and I regret not treasuring things I have” and so on and so forth crap, but this kind of things never fail to touch me somehow. I wonder why. *Shrugs* But seriously, that show is good, you people should catch it.

Later that night, I joined Leona to surprise Irene (advance 28 birthday celebration) at Timbre Mobile together with the usual gang (Calvin & Mary). I won a CD “Power Hits 4” with the help of my “POSB card”, “Orange POSB “GO!” Card”, “Watch, belonging to Mary”, “EZ-Link card” and “Receipt” (5 things that form the word "POWER").

After that, Calvin got the car from his dad and we drove to Timbre Substation to support The Goodfellas. Yea, we are that crazy. Irene left and Darryl & Chun Kiat (Calvin’s platoon mates) joined us at the Substation.
After Timbre, we drove around town looking at Christmas lightings before Cal drop all of us home. By the time I reach home, I knock out almost immediately after washing up.

BMT is coming to an end in less than 3 weeks and I can’t wait. Phuket right after I POP and I am pretty sure I am going to have lots of fun there. Yes, it’s a change of location from Bangkok to Phuket, but it's still going to be fun!

2009-11-21T19:54:00.001+08:00

I wanna talk to you
{The last time we talked Mr. Smith you reduced me to tears
I promise you that won't happen again}

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

Yeah, I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

{Getting angry doesn't solve anything}

How can I help it? How can I help it?
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby, hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink

Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself, hey!
But you only want what everybody else
Says you should want, you should want

I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!

I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!

Haven't been doing proper updates on this blog due to the lack of time.

Friday the 13th was a good day for me as

1) I pass my IPPT
2) My lesson got cut short due to Cat 1 and there's no need for make up lesson
3) I got to book out on Friday after a long long time

Caught Paranormal Activity and 2012 this weekend. Highly recommend 2012. It capture the selfishness of people. Well, in short, its really good, just go watch it.

2009-11-08T13:40:00.000+08:00

FIELDCAMP SUCKS!

ITCHYYYYY!!!!

Situational Test up next

Got to go. Don't understand why must we book in so early while other companies book in at like 9pm. UNFAIR!

Everything changes, but something remains the same.

2009-10-24T14:27:00.003+08:00

Just browsed through my Facebook's profile pictures and realized that I've changed so much (in terms of looks) over the years. I look more matured (I refuse to say I look older) and there's barely any trace of innocence left in me now.

One thing that remains the same throughout these 20 years of my life is me being ever-so-sickly. Yes people, once again, I am sick. I have been down with a bad cough for almost a month, and it’s so bad that I coughed till my throat hurts. I came down with a slight fever on Thursday morning which worsens throughout the day and I was supposed to be sent home on Thursday night (but it was too late).

It was horrible as you can’t get any rest over there when you are sick (like seriously) and what a sick person needs most is ample rest. Worse of all, it’s almost impossible for people like me with problem sleeping to get (at least) 7 hours of UNINTERRUPTED sleep over there. Basically, you are overworked, and lack of rest over there, how can anyone get well under such environment?

Let me tell you, all the care for your mother-effing s*ld**rs bullshit and welfare bullshit are only for show! They don’t really care if you are dying or whatsoever. They “pay” (technically, those monies are from your parents who paid taxes) you a mere $400 and expects you to give your effing life up for them. I can’t help but to hate it more and more over here. Loyalty, I started to doubt mine. Is this a place I really want to live in for the rest of my life? No doubt I am used to the lifestyle, but if I am given a chance, will I run away from this place?

2009-10-18T14:45:00.003+08:00

It might be 5 weeks into my jail term, every Sunday is still so hard for me. I can't bear to leave everything behind. On weekends, I will be so tired I can't really enjoy myself till late at night. Life really really suck. I hate this kind of life. I really want my life back.

BBBBFF, be safe in the wilderness alright. Take good care of yourself. The next 6 days will be very hard but I know you can do it. :) You are my BBBBFF after-all, you can do it. *HUGS*.

I feel that the standard of my language is deteriorating tremendously and I can hardly speak proper English, what's more stringing my chain of thoughts into a blog post. BLEAH. I feel like shit now that my already-shitty-English-standard is getting from bad to worse, to worst soon. ROARRRRR.

I don't know why but coming online seems to get more and more boring each time. I feel as if I am wasting my precious hours in the civilian world using the computer. There's so much I want to complain about but I thought it's much better if I do it face-to-face, it's not like I am allowed to say much. All I can say is that it's pretty much sucky for me. Just "got out of jail" this morning and I am going back in tomorrow evening for another week of grueling "jail term".

I just don't seems to have enough time "outside". I am unable to meet up with a lot of people that I want to meet up with due to schedule clash or simply I am too exhausted to plan anything. I miss the the life I lead just before being sentenced to my 2 years "jail term".

Anyway, some updates about my life in "jail". I went for a doctor's appointment about 2 weeks back and my doctor suggested me to go out-of-training (which means to delay the first 3 months of my jail term and go out and do some work in some other department of the jail before coming back to this part of the jail), however, I am still staying on cause it's a waste of my time if I go OOT. I am thus excused from uniform for a month and it's ending in 11 days.

*OUCH* The sole of my left leg is hurting badly :( *OUCH*

I went for a foot reflexology session a few hours back and found out the area (of my sole) that is hurting is linked to the heart. I AM DYING. HAHAHA. Not really la, just that I am exhausted, overworked, lack of rest, and so on and so forth.

*POUT* I really miss my life :(

2009-10-04T17:49:00.002+08:00

Sundays is now one of the days I hate most these days. I don't like the feeling of leaving everything behind. I hate life :(. SCREW YOU GARMENT! I hate you I hate you I hate you.

Past 2 days was the most wonderful time I ever had in the past weeks. I don't want it to end :(

2009-09-21T16:39:00.000+08:00

I am scared :(

I don't want to go back.

I am about to cry.

:'(

I'm leaving on a ferry :'(

2009-09-11T09:02:00.001+08:00

Bye SG :'(

2009-09-11T02:32:00.002+08:00

Thank you Gerald Lee for all the tips :)

People, I am already missing you people =(

Sighhhh.

Pat/Mary/Leona, remember to plan for the trip and wait for my BBBBFF and I to come out K.

HJMXW, I want a trip with you 3 too!

BBBBFF, thank you for everything. =)

WEIWEI! I miss you. Sharon too! Mel Wee too! OF COURSE my beloved AH MAHHHH too!

Serene Lee! I want to see you soon.

Sigh, I am really used to having all my wonderful friends (even those I didn't mention, you know who you are :D) around me and now asking me to leave them for so long, it's just so hard for me. I've been putting up a brave front and holding back everything but the fact is that I just can't bear to leave everything behind on this stupid island.

I want to bring everyone, everything, my house, my bed, my mom, Serene Lee, and all my friends in! :(

2009-09-11T00:46:00.001+08:00

I really don't want to go tomorrow :(

It's just too fast.

I want my life.

FUCK!

:'(

2009-09-10T14:34:00.002+08:00

Most of you would have known by now that I am enlisting in less than 24 hours time. I don't know what to feel but I know I am not feeling good.

I am so used to having friends and family around me and now wanting me to leave them behind for 2 effing weeks is damn hard for me. I don't know how to pull through this 2 weeks :'(

Anyway, just got a SMS that I might be able to come out on the 19th, hope it's true for me as well.

ROARRR.

Please type for him.

2009-09-03T02:48:00.001+08:00

We have to wake up in less than 5 hours and we are doing stupid stuff in the room!

May god blast all our alarm clocks!

2009-08-28T15:19:00.002+08:00

OH YES! BINTAN HERE I COME! It was an impromptu plan hence not much people are informed (hard to plan laaaa). Just book the rooms today and ferry tickets will be booked tonight.

For those busybodies who can't wait to bitch and gossip about me, I am going on a trip with another 3, and the rooms are connected. Get your fucking screwed mind straight and go fuck yourself if you are here to gossip about me. TAKE THAT FUCKERS!

PAD

2009-08-17T17:36:00.002+08:00

ROARRRR!!!!! I think I am suffering from a very bad case of Pre-Army Depression (PAD). I feel grouchy and get irritated by the slightest thing. Right now I am feeling rather frustrated too.

ARGHHHH. FUCK!

Just leave me alone.

2009-08-15T19:41:00.001+08:00

I haven't been blogging for quite awhile despite having a lot of things to blog about. I am really not in the mood to do anything. Thinking about losing my freedom in less than a month's time makes everything feels like $)(!+. ARGHHHH.

2009-08-02T16:43:00.000+08:00

Bye people =(.

I miss you guys already.

Sobs

Pulau Redang!

2009-08-02T01:09:00.003+08:00

Hello people. I will be celebrating my 20th birthday in 2 days and OMG, I feel so old. =( Anyway, as some of you know, I will be out of town on my birthday.

I will be heading to Redang with my buddy. He is so sweet to plan for the trip when I complained about wanting to spend my birthday out of this country after a bad day of work. Thanks buddy. Too bad everyone else is busy with work or school.

Anyway, I won't be bringing my laptop as there's no free wireless in the resort I am staying in, however, feel free to contact me via my hand phone cause it will be with me!

No stalking people!

Officially Unemployed

2009-07-27T18:25:00.002+08:00

ATTENTION ALL READERS!

*Knock on the microphone and clears throat*

MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT I AM OFFICIALLY UNEMPLOYED (The nicer way of putting it, rather than saying I am jobless)!

HAHAHAHA! Hello people! It's been awhile since I last blogged. Well, yesterday marked the last day of my working life and I am free, like finally!

It's been a awful week last week cause I fell really ill during work on Thursday. I had most of the H1N1 symptoms such as cough, flu, headache and fever. My god and I had to work for like 10 hours that day cause there's nobody to replace Wallace (who was on MC that day). I was supposed to get transferred to ION Orchard on Friday and Sunday but I had to report sick on Friday. Luckily I don't have to go to ION cause I heard the sales there is real bad. LOL.

What did I do last week? Let me see. I met up with Calvin, Mary, Michelle and Pat at Simpang either on Tuesday or Wednesday. I can't really remember, but I think it's on Tuesday. HAHAHA. Headed to the beach with Mary before that and it was so windy we were reluctant to leave the beach. We had the urge to ask them to buy food and bring it to the beach. LOL. The meet up was good but we were all so tired.

Met up with Michelle on Friday for LTN cause there's no food at home. I bit my tongue real badly and it's now purple and swollen at the right side. I have a feeling I bit the nerves cause I got a headache immediately after biting it. Anyway, we were on the phone with Calvin and I forgot who suggested to go to Simei and find him. I thought Michelle was joking about going (Calvin thought so too) but who knows she's really serious so we ended up at Simei till like 12 plus in the morning. How spontaneous can we get? LOL.

Saturday was once again Timbre (for the second consecutive week). Good fellas was doing a Michael Jackson Tribute and hence us (Calvin, Leona, Mary and me) being there. Did I mention that the girls are such huge fans of the Good Fellas they are even fan of them on facebook? HAHAHA.

OK la, I am bored hence I am writing nonsense on my blog. More to come soon, I hope. =)

H1N1 is confirmed no fun!

2009-07-24T18:30:00.002+08:00

You have no idea how lousy it feels to be sick, however, being the ever-so-sickly me, I am rather used to it.

Yesterday, while working, the fever virus, cough virus, runny nose virus and headache virus decided to attack me all at the same time, how great? Oh yea, ain't those H1N1 symptoms?

I was supposed to work at ION Orchard today but I was really not feeling well yesterday night hence I called in sick (or rather, SMS-ed in) at 1am because I felt so uncomfortable and couldn't get to sleep. This morning, my boss sent me a message asking if I am really sick and I was having fever on and off so obviously I am still sick.

After breakfast-in-bed, the drowsy me went into dreamland in no time. Napping for 5 hours (After about 9 hours of sleep last night) does make me feel fresher.

Now that my fever is gone (although the cough virus is still lingering in my body), my appetite is back. I am famished now. Dinner, anyone?

2009-07-16T01:09:00.002+08:00

我会讲华语。

RANDOM.

The King of Pop is going to lick your lollipop!

LOL!

晚安！

Dear Eliot

2009-07-13T23:20:00.001+08:00

Michelle Koh! I hate you. You make me cry! I knew the baby will die at Day 99 =(. I am so sad!

Requesting for contacts!

2009-07-10T19:00:00.002+08:00

Hi all!

My number is reconnected and I am currently using my mom's phone. Please drop me an SMS indicating who you are (preferably full name cause I have got friends with the same name). My number remains the same, so if you have it, you have it, if not, ask me and I will see if I want to give it to you. I will drop you a reply once I receive your SMS, so if you don't get a reply from me, it's probably you've sent it to a wrong number.

If you are are not interested in staying in contact with me like MR Low YuJun Benedict, please do not waste your time reading this post, or waste my time by telling me that your number is 999 or related.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
JS

LOST PHONE

2009-07-09T02:02:00.002+08:00

I lost my phone people! :'( Don't message/call me till further notice. READ MY BLOG FOR MORE NOTICES!

If any of you happen to pick up my phone, please return to me. It's a LG Renoir KC910.

I hate you!

2009-07-06T15:08:00.000+08:00

I hate you! All of you!

Farewell Miss Lam!

2009-07-03T21:44:00.003+08:00

Met up with some of my Year 1 classmates today because Miss Sabrina Lam is flying off to Australia next Wednesday =(. I am so going to miss her. She's one of the closest friends I had back in year 1 and always taking care of me and tolerating my nonsense together with Gerald.

Sigh, 3 years passed, and we've all grown old and graduated from TP. Now she is heading towards a new stage of her life, while I am heading to "SLOG YOUR ASS OFF FOR THE NATION" phase that all guys in Singapore have to face. =(.

Babe, please take care of yourself when you're there alright. And MSN/Skype with me whenever you're free. I am starting to miss her already =(. Sigh

Good luck to you!

2009-06-28T01:57:00.000+08:00

Thank you for everything you have done :)

2009-06-25T04:21:00.001+08:00

I wonder who is Amy Tan. That person just added me on MSN. I wonder how she got my MSN, and if I know her.

I hate the feeling of not knowing something. ROAR!

2009-06-25T01:53:00.002+08:00

Ahhh, I am tired! 2 more days of work before I get a day off. ROAR!

Sales at paragon is pretty OK for the past 2 days, thanks to 2 big fishes for the 2 days to help me hit my target. My RL sales is going down, and I think I am going to get screwed upside down sooner or later, so I need to buck up (for the sake of my own money actually). LOL.

Tuesday, someone came about 45 minutes before closing time and bought 4 bottles of perfume from me without asking anything. She came, and said give me 4 bottles of this, and went to the cashier. I loveeee. Wednesday, someone come, even nearer to closing time, and asked for 5 shower gel, which help me hit my target. Too bad they are both Armani sales, but I shan't complain. It's friggin' MONEHHHH! Lol.

I shall log off now after ranting about my work. LOL.

I miss my friends. My year 1 mates, and my 老的, and HJMXW, and Mary, Michelle, Calvin and gang. ROARRRRR!

2009-06-23T00:12:00.002+08:00

My blog is still a dead blog after all. Despite not working for the last 2 days, I hardly have any time to surf around online and to blog. My schedule is really really packed till July, but I will try to find time and blog alright. OKOK, you know I am lying when I said I will find time and blog.

Anyway, celebrated Jun's 20th birthday and Timbre and Obolo on Saturday. I chose Timbre Art House cause of it's comfy seats, but when I went there, the comfy seats are GONE! Another reason was that it's a frigging Saturday and E.I.C was supposed to play, and guess what, they weren't playing on that particular Saturday. What a disappointment. We left Timbre early and headed for Obolo, which was pretty nice. Perhaps it's the company I am with that made the cake extra nice, maybe, but overall, it was fantastic, much better than TIMBRE :(.

Sunday was a Lagoon day with Calvin and Mary. Crayfish, stingrays, satay, rojak, satay bee hoon. We had so much food our tummy almost exploded. LOL. Walk over to Mcafe for a drink and Mocha frappe is too bitter, while Double Chocolate frappe is too sweet and not chocolaty at all. I prefer Starbucks Frappe anytime man.

Anyway, I shall end my post with a few videos to entertain you guys for say, a week?

2009-06-14T14:07:00.002+08:00

Hey people, apologies for my friggin' dead blog. Been busy recently. Work for 8 consecutive days since the 4th of June and I am really really really tired.

I found out recently that I am allergic to a certain medicine, which caused me to mutate into a red-spotted boy (My mutant name shall be... I'll tell you when I think of one.). Went to Doctor Chan on Friday, thinking that it will be open from 2pm to 4.30pm like any other weekdays, and to my horror, it close at 12pm on Fridays! I'm sorry Cal.

Met up with my family for dinner cause it was my dad's birthday the following day, but my sis and I weren't free. The food wasn't that great, and service was pretty slow, so I won't go into details.

Went to the birdpark after so many years and woah, the animal show is still the same. LOL. Met up with Mary after dinner at 85, and went over to Simpang to satisfy my cravings for dim sum (I still haven't eat my char siew bao, so I am NOT satisfied.).

I gonna work my ass off from Tuesday to Saturday, and rush for a birthday celebration, and most likely a photoshoot on Sunday. Probably head to Malaysia on Monday. So I will be very BUSY BUSY BUSY. Please book me in advance! LOL. July Schedule is now open for bookings cause I think I am not working anymore. SO DATE ME PEOPLE! DATE ME!

2009-06-06T01:58:00.000+08:00

Forgive me god, for I sinned.

RAHHH! My sales today suck, hopefully it will pick up soon. Tomorrow perhaps? RAHHHH! I need a good sales figure tomorrow for some reason. HAHAHA.

On a random note, I saw this on threadless. I think it's ugly, but it's my blog title. LOL.

Alrighty, I am tired, and I've got work tomorrow, so goodnight!

2009-06-04T23:21:00.001+08:00

Someone played a very, very mean trick on me this morning. :(.

Sales was pretty good today.

Drink, Drank, Drunk.

2009-06-01T05:37:00.002+08:00

Someone was being real sweet today, like seriously. Thanks a lot =)

Anyway, I met up with Calvin, Michelle, Patricia AND Haikal after work today. Had a little drinking session, and playing the lame game, 7-up. LOL. Michelle is damn gone, I wonder if she will remember what she did. I am so gonna tease her for like forever. LOL. Pat was dizzy and Calvin fell asleep. LOL. Haikal was the most sane, followed by me, although I was feeling a little dizzy at some point of time.

Ahhh, I am really, really tired now. Time to head to bed. Goodnight world!

2009-05-31T00:43:00.002+08:00

Hey all! Realize that I've got an advertisement on my blog this week? Keep clicking on my link you niggers! LOL. And I thought nuffnang had forgotten about me. LOL. The advertisement starts today (Sunday) and will be on for a week till Saturday. They just sent me an e-mail hours ago. Short notice. LOL.

Anyway, RAHHHH, I am so tired! Ended up at Pasir Ris Beach and DownTown East McDonald's yesterday with A, C and M. Went crazy on rotating disc, got high on "flying fox". Ahhh, what a day. Dead beat by the time I got home, about 2am.

I am still alive despite of all the work. Been down with a cough, maybe H1N1, anyone? LOL. My body aches like shit, ok, only a certain part of my body actually, the right side of the back. Don't know why.

Alright, I am tired, so I shall end abruptly here. BYE!

I've got so much to update!

2009-05-29T02:08:00.002+08:00

Saturday 23/05/09
Esther's party was pretty fun. Met up, and catch up with lot's of people, from my year 2.1 to 3.2 class. It's a pity some of them came so late and I was about to leave when they came.

Met up with Mary, was supposed to be a short meet up, but we ended up chatting till 3 in the morning.

Sunday 24/05/09

Decided that I need to take a walk (it's the moment thing) and I ended up walking for a long distant, to a lot of place.

Monday 25/05/09

Met up with Michelle and Tong Teck for errrrr, breakfast? Pretty good for a start. Had a nice chat and all.

That day didn't end too well though.

Wednesday 27/05/09

Tangs members private sales. Work suck! LOL. Like seriously. Stressed!

Thursday 28/05/09

Met up with Mary. Ended up at the carpark doing nonsense. That shall be our new meet up place.

The walk home wasn't good. I saw this guy walking in the opposite direction keep staring at me. I thought he was some ahbeng who wants to whack me la. After passing me, he make some sound (those sound that ahbeng/mat do to try to pick up those ahlians/minahs). I don't know how to describe the sound, but if you are curious, ask me to do it when you meet me. I was damn scared I called Mary (in case anything happens and she knows like which area I am in) and ran home. =(

Please don't make fun of me regarding these anymore, I am really really scared and traumatised. It's not the first time people did this to me =(.

I realized something, I don't have that much to update actually. LOL.

Numb

2009-05-26T23:52:00.003+08:00

My left leg is so numb (and weak), I almost collapse while removing my contact lens. =(

I feel so numb.

When you wash your body, wash your hands too!

2009-05-26T23:38:00.002+08:00

Got this from Alvin's blog. It's a pretty good parody. Well, at least it got me laughing for that few minutes. Hope you guys get a good laugh too.

Dance for yourself, not for the world.

2009-05-24T16:40:00.002+08:00

Ahhh, my auntie, cousins, mommy and daddy spent the whole morning/afternoon making glutinous rice dumplings. Yum yum.

Like every other year, they will make some specially for me. My dumplings will only have glutinous rice, without any other fillings such as meat or whatsoever, and I like it that way.

It's just like how I like my buns with more skin and less fillings; my wanton and springrolls skin, fried without the fillings; my ice cream cones which I can finish it all up without even having any ice cream on it.

You people can go ahead and tell me I am weird, eccentric, screwed and so on and so forth, I don't really care. I like things the way I like it, and nobody can change the fact, that's final.

"Dance for yourself, not for the world." - Mary R. Njo

It's not a hard theory/concept to master, but applying it to my life is a little different.

You can choose to finish this rocky journey with me, or to turn your back on me. The choice is yours, you decide and tell me.

Lost for words.

2009-05-22T00:33:00.004+08:00

I am seriously very touched. I think if not for it being so sudden, I might actually cry. Thank you babe, for everything. =)

Lots of love,
JS

Mitchell Reed Fox

2009-05-20T18:19:00.002+08:00

The topic at Cartel yesterday revolves around Megan Fox being a tranny. So here's an article to errrr, satisfy your lust for gossips people.

LOS ANGELES, CA – The internet has been abuzz since this Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony, where Megan Fox jokingly remarked that she looked like a man.

When interviewed on the red carpet, she said “I look like Alan Alda in drag. I’m a tranny. I’m a man.”

At the time, reporters passed it off as a jovial attempt to cover for her nerves.

However, today she has cleared the air and officially reported: she’s really a man.

Megan Fox was born Mitchell Reed Fox in Rockwood, Tennessee. From an early age, Mitchell showed an interest in both performing and women’s clothing. When having a preacher lay hands on him did not ‘cure’ him of these interests, his parents simply put him on the pageant circuit.

By the age of 13, Mitchell had already started a career as a female child performer called ‘Megan Fox’. Making her debut on an Olsen Twins straight-to-video release, the twins have kept his secret all this time.

As a sweet 16 present, Fox’s parents offered him sexual reassignment surgery, which, given their child’s career, they’d hoped to write off as a business expense. Unfortunately laws prohibit such surgery to be done to minors.

Since then Megan has been working non-stop, and been included on many Hottest Women lists in publications around the world.

Megan, as she goes by now exclusively, also noted this Sunday how much she wants Salma Hayek’s figure. She has even scheduled surgery later this month to get it. After the two met in New York this week, Hayek offered to have a cast made of her bust so doctors can match them exactly on Megan Fox’s chest.

The internet is already speculating whether this news will be worked into the plot of the upcoming Transformers sequel.

Ewww, imagine yourself having sex with someone you think is a girl and later find out that it's actually a "he". Yucks!

Welcome to my life

2009-05-14T13:29:00.006+08:00

Welcome To My Life

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

2009-05-12T23:53:00.002+08:00

2009-05-10T23:59:00.002+08:00

Happy ~~Mother's Day!~~ Birthday Alvin!

Thanks for having me over yesterday and I really had fun!

We played WII till the wee hours of the night! WHEEEE! Michelle and I stayed till like 3-4am before cabbing home. Now my arms are sore. I couldn't sleep properly cause my arm aches badly the whole day. I couldn't even straighten it, that's how bad it is. Despite that, all the pain was worth it cause I haven't had so much fun for a long long time. Whacking rabbids, bullying Alvin, doing nonsense and all.

Note to self: Do some warm up exercises before playing wii next time.

Once again, happy birthday hun!

First time...

2009-05-10T23:20:00.002+08:00

Work isn't really smooth sailing recently. My sales figure has been going down and down and down. And yesterday incident just makes me feel like quitting. I know I know, it's not really related to work, but I am just giving myself excuses to quit. RAHHH!.

Well, yesterday I came face to face with a mad shoplifter/thief/cunt/ass/fucker. The promotion counter was right next to the door near the fountain at BHG, so while I was at the other end serving someone else, this man came and stole 2 bottles of my Romance Eau Fraiche. The moment this woman (probably a distraction) finish asking about the directions to POSB ATM, I heard a noise that sounds like plastic bag. I turn over and saw this man who stood there staring at me. I thought he was stealing my flower petals so I walked over towards him, and hoping he will feel bad and buy something from me (ahhh, must be the target's fault). The moment I start walking, he started running. I run over and found that 2 friggin' bottles of fragrance gone so I gave chase. The bugger ran towards GV then into Bugis Junction so I decided to stop chasing because:

1) It's dangerous.
2) It's a freaking Saturday and it's damn crowded, how am I supposed to find that fucker!

SO basically, I was in a shock cause I've never seen anything like this before. I heard that in bugis, a lot of stuff get stolen, but never did I expect them to fucking steal it when I am fucking around that area! I decided to place all my stocks and tester in one area and I stood there the whole fucking day, in a daze, and didn't even do any sales. I didn't leave those stocks unattended, not even for a single second. I just stood there like a dummy. Imagine, that incident happened in the morning, so the whole day I wasn't in the mood to do any sales so I merely stared at the stocks to make sure they are still there. Grace even asked if I am OK cause I seems to be not myself that day. Well, to be honest, I am still in shock, even though it's like one and a half day after that incident.

Well, I found out that stocks had gone missing for 2 consecutive days (Friday and Saturday) and they had to make a police report and all.

Schedule's been pretty packed recently.

Saturday night is Timbre night with Mary, Leona and Leona's friends. Had loads of fun and the band is good. Babe, everything will be fine and you know it too.

Sunday was Elaine's birthday party and woohoo, had loads of catching up with the 1B08 peeps. The aunties (namely mommy and daddy boobies) tasked me to plan a dinner date for 1B08 for us to catch up. Can't wait for it, although I haven't even start planning.

Monday was helping Lisa out at Raffles City for Singapore Art Festival. It was pretty fun but I stupidly cut myself at the start of the thing. But it was pretty good.

Well, too much work for my liking recently, but hugeass amount of rest is coming up soon, and I hope I don't have to be on standby. I haven't met with tonnes of people whom I've yet to meet. SOON PLEASE.

Vokay, I have put up the tagboard like some of you requested. I put there you all complain too low. I take off you all say you don't bother to scroll down to there anyway. Now I take off you all complain say cannot tag. Irritating huh you people. I will put there for the time being. Like I just said to someone, I get flamed more often than my friends tag, so the next time I get flamed or dumbass comments again, I will remove that damned tagboard. HEAR THAT ASSES OUT THERE!

2009-05-05T22:05:00.001+08:00

I am soooOOoooo0000oooOOOoooo000OOO tired. Period.

2009-05-04T03:50:00.002+08:00

What a day. I managed to meet up with so many people. WOOHOO!

Anyway, I am pretty disappointed with saycheeze at Tampines 1 (Ooooh, I just hate that name). There's like some unidentified object in my mayo and it freaking made me lose my appetite THE WHOLE FRIGGIN' DAY! ROARR! And the Blue Lagoon is green in colour.

Anyway, I met up with Calvin for like an hour and he pass me some stuff. Awww, that buddy of mine is so nice. LOL. Jelly beans (ahhh, huge fetish for it back in year 1, with my jelly bean buddy, Cheryl), a pair of yellow socks from them, and a lovely t-shirt from him! Awww, he knows me well enough to know what to buy. How nice.

Elaine's party was great. Our 1B08 people managed to do a little catching up and I'm lovin' it. When was the last time man. Anyway, now I am tasked to plan another meet up with them, I hope soon yo?

Fitness corner with Michelle till 2am in the morning was like shiokness, although we didn't exercise much. We merely sat there and chat chat chat. Mismatched and parents' clothes/retro. MY OH MY, what themes man. LOL.

Never Land

2009-05-01T01:16:00.002+08:00

If fairytales exist, I would like to move to Never Land, where I can stay young and innocent, like Peter Pan, and perhaps, go back to my younger days and forget my past.

Too bad fairytales don't exist. I need to escape from reality.

That's what they get for behaving in class!

2009-04-30T18:59:00.003+08:00

Wanda: What's this?

Zoe: Oh! We got our class pictures back today! I'll show you!
Zoe: Okay, this is my class...
Zoe: That's Kenny the paste-eater, there's Bryan the dinosaur, Gwen the screamer, Jake the whiner, Jennifer the grabber, Danny the jokester, Edward the tickler, Ashley the pincher, and Ari, Tali, Maya and Lee.

Wanda:So Ari, Tali, Maya and Lee are the only kids in your class who don't have nicknames?

Zoe: Yes, but it's not my fault.

.
.
.

Zoe: That's what they get for behaving in class.

Remind me again why I love Baby Blues!

Siloso Part 3 (Emo Elmo)

2009-04-28T04:28:00.001+08:00

Well, here's the last (of the 3 parts) batch of pictures from the Siloso Beach shoot.

Me: This is more fun than work. Seriously, I rather do this everyday.
Mary: Yea, and it pays more than work.

I can't help but to agree.

The last part batch of pictures are a little emo, so you Emo Elmos, don't cry after looking at them. Enjoy!

Alrighto, that's all for now folks!

2009-04-28T02:28:00.003+08:00

Sudden change of work location today. Was in a mad rush. Sales was pathetic, but luckily promotion target is daily, and not factored into my counter sales, so I am still able to hit target for my Armani. I submitted my timesheet cause I decided to not work for the rest of the month, not like there's a lot of days left, just 3. Next month might be a busy month for me. So many days packed with activites, while the rest might be filled up by work. So basically, my schedule *should be* and *might be* packed till June.

Someone asked why I seems to be afraid to talk to him. Don't you realize that I just don't feel like, and don't want to talk to you. And perhaps, it's not only me who don't feel like, and don't want to talk to you. When I don't like someone, I just don't like. There is no need for a reason or whatsoever, as long as the feeling is not right, I won't like, no matter who it is. So if I can't click with you, it means I can't click with you, stop trying. I don't really need to have a lot of friends, so stop trying.

Eddee Peh Hong Kiat!

Happy 23rd, lovely!

2009-04-22T21:30:00.003+08:00

I am so tired, and I've no idea why. Must be work, must be. Working with Nur today is pretty fun. We were crapping like half the time. She even composed a song. LOL.

Anyway, I saw on my fellow yindian's blog and she blogged about me blogging the photos. Now it's my turn to thank you for letting me have some blogging materials. HAHA. Psst, one day, I'll be in one of the pictures you take up on that wall too!

Oh yea, most of the lovelies will be back tonight, at almost midnight. Sweet. Hello loves! Welcome back!

2009-04-21T20:24:00.003+08:00

Ahhhh, good times and rest day seems to pass by quickly. 2 days of break and *poof*, it's gone in a blink of eyes. Just got a SMS from Siti reminding me of my schedule tomorrow. RAHHHHH. Well, at least it's morning shift tomorrow, knocking off at 6pm.

Doing silly things online with Tatia till the wee hours of the night. People might think that we are fighting over something silly, but we were laughing away on Facebook Chat while posting those silly stuff.

I am so not looking forward to work. I want more photoshoots! I love pictures. I love taking pictures. Anyway, I finally uploaded and blogged all the pictures. Watch out for those scheduled posts, I am not telling when they are coming, so keep visiting. HAHAHAHA.

Oh yea, I saw Louis when I was on the way to cut my hair. He was at SPC smoking with some Chai Chee Sec Student (I think) when the bus I am on drove pass. Let's see, what did I do today? Hmmm, I cut my hair, I went to get my spects fixed (which will take 1 week). What an interesting day?

Reminder to my dear self, please sleep early tonight.

Siloso Part 1 (Life Amongst The Lifeless)

2009-04-20T15:18:00.005+08:00

Ok, out of the few hundred photos we took during that 21 hours or so, Leona posted up 171 of them on Facebook. I've further pick out 100 to be blogged (tough decisions made here alright). Due to the ginormous amount of photos, I shall blog in batches.

First up is the pictures without us, Life Amongst The Lifeless, what some might call it. Here we go!

A surprise celebration for Mary's belated birthday

My dinner, Fish & Chips

Aftermath of a night of partying

That's all for now folks! Stay tune for more!

2009-04-20T01:16:00.003+08:00

I was so bored I counted my commission, daily bonus and all for today, and realized that I earned almost $10/hr today. HAHAHA. Shiokness.

I am so damn tired, but my hair is still wet, so I can't sleep now. Rahhhh.

No work tomorrow and on Tuesday so yayness for me.

Alrighto, shall upload some photos and perhaps blog them later, or tomorrow, or maybe never. I know I know, procrastination. I like. LOL.

P.S. tomorrow, or rather today, is the first day for Graduation Registration. I still don't know if I should go or not. ARGHHHH.

Redang

2009-04-18T22:26:00.002+08:00

Met up with MXW trying to plan for Redang trip. I am not really enthu about it due to the long coach ride, but if my finance allows me to, I will still be joining them. The trip is tentatively set to be in July at the moment.

Found out that Junn is working in Tampines and not Novena today. HAHA. And we finally got to meet Gary. MX, it took long enough, told you we won't bite him and you don't believe. See! We didn't bite him.

One day, I will travel the world alone.

Siloso Beach Resort

2009-04-17T23:46:00.003+08:00

I am back back back back back from Sentosa! I had a lot a lot a lot of fun. Thanks Leona =) I had a wonderful time and am glad that I didn't screw up the shoot as badly as I thought I would have.

Mary and I were really really late on Thursday. We were supposed to meet at Habourfront at 1.30pm but we reached at 2pm. Sorry sorry people. The shoot was pretty fun, although I was a little out of place and got a few stares here and there, cause of what I am wearing, but I had lots of fun.

Played silly games and drank Tequila. Mary got pretty high and so was Leona. Eric was high and splashing water all around. Louis knock out pretty early (although not high). I guess I am one of the few there who is sane. LOL. I didn't get a lot of forfeit so I skipped the alcohol, which is good. If not I will end up like them. Take a look.

Alrighto, I am going to steal 2 pictures off Leona's blog. I really like these 2 (among those with me la), so I gonna post them

More photos (hopefully, if I am allowed to) after Leona is done with them.

2009-04-15T23:12:00.002+08:00

Met up with Mary and headed to SMa this evening. Courses there are OK, satisfy what Mary and I want, however, I don't know if it is recognized or not, for my case. Sigh. Furthermore, army is stopping me. RAHHH!

85 after that and we chatted a lot about our friends. It was pretty interesting, and funny. And we were talking about "Sometimes". It was a good chat hun.

Got to start packing for tomorrow soon =( I am like damn lazy. LOL.

Screw Singtel

2009-04-15T15:51:00.002+08:00

Singtel pissed me off seriously. They charged me $1.55 for something that I did not ask for. I mean, it is a small amount of money, but why the f*** should I pay for it? I called to cancel The Straits Times news, which I did not ask for, and was not informed that I had it. They bloody cancelled it for me. Thing is, it's FOC for the first month according to them, so why the hell am I being charged? And worse case is that, if I didn't call and check, they will act as if nothing had happened and continue charging me for that damn thing. I had to call, and told them that I freaking cancel it, and that I wasn't even inform that it came with that stupid line, before they agreed to "refund" that amount of money in my next bill.

You know what Singtel, stop cheating money. It's not about that puny amount of money, its about the principle. If I think I should pay for it, I will, but you don't deserve my money in this case. No wonder you guys earn so much, puny amount from each and everyone of your customers eh? Screw you!

On a random note, I am hungry, and I am meeting mary in 80minutes time, got to go prepare now.
