and you caught me off guard, now i'm running and screaming.
whoo! hectic hectic but really super fun week. i absolutely love my weekends cos it's really non-stop entertainment, but everytime i spend money i wld feel the pain. haha i guess parting with your own hard earned money is more difficult than parting with the allowance your parents give.
ANYWAY. after work on friday went over to levis to get a belt, lol i was so happy when there was a discount cos i really didn't knw there was a discount! and it's quite alot u knw the belt was like 59 and now it's 48! eh actually not alot lah but discounted items always look and feel better! haha. went to meet farrell ting and mingyi after tt. mingyi looks alright in a bald head, but tt farrell really cmi. HAHAHAHA. went wans bday party it's at some high class service apartments at orchard point. looks more like a hotel to me it's really quite cool cos everything inside the apartment is furnished and they have kitchen and living room. reminded me of new zealand motels tt my family stayed. AHHHHH I MISSS NEW ZEALAND! haha we drank and talk cock with wans and denise and basically just chill the night away. working class heroes need to chill and drink too okay. and i dunno why i get red super easily BUT I'M REALLY NOT NOT NOT DRUNK. i'm more than somber lah. it's just my good blood circulation tt's the cause of this redness! but of cos farrell they all dun believe and they all insisted i was drunk. siao one. haha and farrell's pimping machine went into auto gear again when the other dancers came. HAHAHA. damn freakin funny. for once in my entire eighteen years of life i see farrell clearing up the table for the dancers. and after tt he strike some damn cool pose behind them and start talking to them. LOL. WOLF IN A SHEEPS CLOTHING LAH FARRELL. u tell me how u wan cutecute to like you. LOL. if he sees this he confirm kill me BUT TOO BAD YOU'RE IN TEKONG!
went out on sat with aaron to go get his new year clothes. but i was more like shopping for myself. haha sorry bro. and apparently even though he had a budget of 200 bucks he just refused to buy the 149 french connection jeans. wah liew then u set budget there for wad! haha anyway i saw this black cauldroy from fcuk and it was really super sexyy. i need black pants cos i've been wearing jeans all my life. so now it's whether i get black cauldroys from fcuk or black jeans from topman. but i dun like to associate myself with mat brands cos there are condemned. topshop is really a no no cos u're sharing the same fashion taste with mats. yuck. it's just like newbie, condemned by all the ah bengs. bloody hell i used to like newbie alot and i bought like super alot of their shirts until the ah bengs came along and condemn the brand. now i can't wear any of those shirts anymore. haha okay anyway i'm damn tempted to buy the cauldroys cos it's something new which i haven't tried before. but it's a hundred and four bucks after thirty percent discount so it's still super costly. why can't fcuk lower their prices man. oh and calvin kleins having some super power sale. saw this brown with orange and white stripes shirt and it was 300 originally but after 70 percent discount it's 90 bucks. wah liew still super expensive lah. haha they shld have 90 percent discount, den i straight away grab.
met farrell ting mingyi and chang after tt to watch cloverfield. gosh tt movie is super interesting but really cmi cos it is depicted though a handheld camera which shakes and shakes and turns and turns throughout the whole one hour 10 mins. i almost puked inside the cinema and i can't see shit on the screen cos it keeps shaking and shaking especially at the important moments. and the story really has no head no tail. when the credits rolled for 5 mins the whole cinema no one stood up cos everybody super stunned. changyi u watch out one of these days we're gonna blanket party you. oh before the movie went to balcony to watch some soccer match i think soccer is super retarded but ya it was arsenal vs newcastle and arsenal went on a killing spree. hahaha. and thier cocktails really cmi towards the end i was drinking ice with diluted tequila. it's like ice blended bubble tea without the pearls.
met odac ppl at newyorknewyork today and it was realy quite sian. i dunno maybe my frequency is just off. got damn bored halfway and left. yawn. i need some rest man i'm dead tired freakin slpt at 4am ytd cos of the stupid cloverfield. and the cab back home was 10.60. midnight surcharges really suck bad. tt just gives me one more good reason to drive.
and i finally learnt a real life example of income disparity. my first car is gonna be a cherry qq. changyi's first car is a mercedes benz clk. my cherry qq is still a figment of my imagination. changyi's mercedes benz clk is alr parked at his carpark waiting for him to get his driving license.
life is unfair.
anyway go listen to hero/heroines by boys like girls. low by flo rida ft t-pain. tattoo by jordin sparks. good stuff.
the solitary working class hero re-enters the corporate battle field tomorrow, while his fellow fren takes up arms to defend the nation in tekong.
yes life is unfair. HAHAHAHAHAHA

yes i need more time, just to make things right.
ahh listening to oasis just brings back the memories. orientation, back to basics, a14.. everything was so perfect and right during those days. and i still rmbred this was the first song i listened to on my new ipod. oasis - don't go away. it's really my all time favourite. close the door and make sure your room's all silent, den listen to this song. trust me it will sink into you damn fast.
it's a pity those days passed by so quickly.
orientation was real fun. ruiyi audrey and ruth. stil rmbred how i shocked i was when i saw drey just taking off her skirt in the middle of the canteen, haha of cos she was wearing fbts, but a guy fresh from 4 years in an all boys sch wouldn't know tt girls actually wear fbts under their skirts. haha okay nvm. yes the ruiyi's craziness, she's really not a girl. hahaha. and of cos ruth the super pro dancer.
den came b2b. i was quite pissed off initially cos for the first time in like one and a half years of my life i'm being ordered around by my seniors again. last time in scouts since we were all at the top of the food chain, we were the ones doing the ordering, so the switch from predator to prey was really quite tough for me initially. haha. i can still vividly rmbr jiawei's voice asking us to run faster, wah at tt instant i was really thinking who the hell are u to ask me to run faster you are just bloody one year older than me. and of cos, meeting my future cca mates always brought a sense of anxiety. i mean these ppl are my competitors to get into odac, and since i'm joining an OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES CLUB, these ppl are obviously much much much fitter than me. i was really in quite a bad shape during that time, so when i see ppl like eugene running for miles and me lagging behind, i always doubted if i cld even make it into odac. but god has a way of making things right. i think i'm the most unfit guy in odac ever. haha.
and of cos i can never forget my old class. a14. the times spent inside there were really really joyful and i really had fun with tt class. royce gongkia randall. haha the only 4 guys in our class. and all of them were on the same frequency with me la, really pleasant and fun ppl to hang out with. and of cos audrey! haha. i can never forget how we poured our problems to each other, and all tt abusing with your markers and sharp fingernails. hahaha.
we're all like nicks in great gastby. vj to me was like the americian dream. a place where your past cld be erased, where everyone was promised a new life, a fresh beginning. and that anticipation of finding out more about your new frens, building up new frenships, leaves a very warm feeling in your heart everyday when u wake up and go to sch. for once in my life, i actually wanted to go to school. cos school was all about making new frens, exploring newer pastures, studying was really last on the agenda. every person u met represented a new promise of friendship, and a new hope of a better future. it was like a never ending party.
but like nick, i've seen the waste and degradation beneath the grandeur. this dream has collapsed and failed after two years. yet deep down, i'm still preserving it for it is not the result of the dream that i find value in, but the dream itself tt is so pure and splendid. gosh this is so lit-ish hahaha.
i know things may be quite screwed up right now, just give me more time, and i'll make things right.
hello world. I'm blogging from my phone rite now hahaha super coolios la nv tot me doing that ever. Anyway jwei is so tech savvy rite now if actually blogs with a hp! Haha desktops and laptops are so old school. Lol. I'm at my telemarketing nite job rite now and i'm tapping into their wireless network. The best part hp tt they dun stub password to their wireless network so anyone inside this building can access it for free! Ok enough of bragging my ingenious idea. Haha work has been hectic but fun. Went lunch today with eugene lol if cycled all the way to my office. And den we walked all the way to the coffeeshop at yongsheng's hse to have lunch. Haha the odac spirit nv dies man. Anyway caught up with him on alot of stuff, sometimes i tink eugene hp the only person i can actually talk to in all the odac guys. Oh and ytd had lunch with aaron haha met him and MICHELLE at raffles place jus to eat hawker centre food. Er aaron ah maybe raffles place can eat better food ah haha! Lunched at his office and i tink my office is stil unbeatable. Hahaha. No one can beat my office toilet man it has a butt washer la. U can only find tt go hotels. Haha. Yup so i'm free or lunch everyday DATE ME OUT i'm a lonely and poor boy stuck in his office. Haha. Unfortunately i have no idea how to press enter on this fone so i'm jus typing everything in one paragraph. Wil go figure tt out den everything wld be purrfect! Haha now i dun have to call ppl up and disturb them i'll jus blog when i get bored! Jwei is one smart boy. Haha 2 more days to the weekends! Whoohoo!

fly me back to newzealand.
finally i've got the time to transfer my nz photos from the other com to this com. and after 2 months from my trip, this is the first time i'm actually looking at all the holiday fotos in detail. haha. newzealand's really super super pretty. the whole place is so tranquil and peaceful, the temperature and the summer breeze is just right. it's like living in an air conditioned room permanently. and since summer is coming, the sun's nice and bright. really heaven. i wld gladly take the first flight back to newzealand if i'm given the choice of going back there for a holiday. and it's really a nice place to escape from reality, to really detach yourself from all your burdens, and immense in the comfort of a hundred thousand sheeps and cows. all these pictures here are seriously an understatement of the real beauty of nz. if u were there physically, it's really so shoik that no words can describe that kind of feeling. haha.
wellington! the capital of newzealand and sadly there are no sheep or cow here at all. it's all just buildings and more buildings. but the colour contrast between the buildings and the sky, it's just so pretty. or maybe my dad's camera is just damn powerful. hahahaha
hammer springs! ppl come here to ski but we just did a pit stop here on our way up to kaikoura. look at the golden flowers man. it's really super beautiful. and since it's like their country side, it's super quiet and u can literally here the birds chirping from miles away. and there are no irritating crickets or whatever insects that u hear everytime u climb bukit timah hill. bukit timah hill reall sucks man.
i paid 60 nz bucks and almost puked cos of sea sick just to see THIS. it's only like 3 seconds when the sperm whale dives back down into the ocean and so u can see it's tail in all it's glory. but for the rest of the 10 minutes u just see this lump of thing in the sea tt will constantly have water coming out of it's blowhole. lol is tt wad it's called? yes the whale resurfaces to breathe for 10 mins and den it goes back down to feed again. so for the rest of the 2 hour 50 mins i sat on the boat trying to control myself from puking. haha the waters were really very choppy la cos there's an incoming storm. can't u see the dark clouds!
kaikoura!
if only ntuc was half as nice, i wld consider eating fruits.
another shot of wellington
I CLIMBED THIS HILL TO TAKE THIS PICTURE SO I DUN CARE I'M UPLOADING IT. cape farewell is on the right. obviously i wasn't smart enough to take a picture of that from this hill. haha.
farewell spit! it's this entire land of sand dunes in the middle of the sea. think it's due to wind movements and tides or sth like tt. and the spit is growing every year. coolios. super beautiful yeah. and of cos the photographer rocks too. i'm artistic siol!
highway 7. the most scenic route ever.
my two aunties!
collingwood. it's a dead ghost town. and we stayed here for two nights. it's like silent hill cos this town was completely ravaged by fires for 3 times. their historic centre didn't mention bout any deaths, but i think a hell lot of ppl died. yes so it's kinda freaky when it comes to the night. haha but the town is so dead that my dad decided to let me try out the car. WHOOOHOOOOO. but it's auto lah, so just step the accelerator and turn the stirring wheel only. hahaa. no skill involved. oh i reversed too. heh heh heh.
AHHH THIS IS CAPE FAREWELL! haha sorry the pictures are all jumbled up. u see that hole in the rocks behind us? yes tt's called cape farewell. haha
my dad is cool haha.
over the hills and far away.
hogwarts sch term started alr so the station's empty.
even newzealand dogs are cuter.
yes so in conclusion, it's quite clear that singapore sucks.
anyway back to reality. it's midweek january alr. work starts again tmr. and farrell's quote keeps ringing in my mind. i guess i've finally seen who's worth it and who's not.
rhetoric can't fool time. actions speak louder than words.
i had this 3 month theory. that after 3 months, superficial and the genuine frens wld be sorted out nicely.
i guess it took lesser time than that.

T.G.I.F
i can literally feel the fatigue running through my veins. i realise this is seriously no joke. having a 9 to 5.30 job and den a 7 to 10pm one and doing it all over again and again for five days. even if your mentally strong (which of cos i'm =)), your body will tell you it can't. i almost died in the office cos i felt so tired that my brain just cldn't function. and my eyes were stinging like crazy. it's like u just feel like sleeping and sleeping and not waking up. there was once i tried to stand up and i actually lost of balance. tt's how bad it was. yes so luckily by some miracle my boss didn't have anything for me to do so i cld go home at 3 plus today! heh heh heh. the perks of working in a small happy family company. i went home and i straight away conked out till dnr time. super super shag.
anyway work has been alright for this past week. i've tamed the photocopier somehow so now i'm no longer afraid of it. and of cos i've made a new best fren: my computer screen. i see her (i prefer it to be a her) for 8 and a half hours everyday from monday to friday, tt's more then i get to see my mum. and besides the computer screen tt's about all my frens. i mean my office only has one co worker who is a mother of two. i dun see how i can communicate with her the way i talk to my other frens. but she's quite cool though, i think she goes clubbing alot cos she seems to know that zouk is better than mos. and she knows that subaru wrx are high performance racers. my mum doesn't know both of that so i guess she's cooler than my mum? haha. BUT I NEED PEOPLE OF MY AGE GROUP TO INTERACT WITH. i think the deprivation of human contact has resulted it some side effects. i find myself constantly engaging in monologues, or soliloquys lol i dunno which is which alr. yes anyway i'm prone to thinking out loud (TOL) now and i actually find joy in talking to myself. which occasionally freaks me out.
and so the weekends are here again! hehheh gonna spend all that i earned during the week. WHOOOHOOOOOOO
i'm sorry lamly this is long overdue! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF IN ARMY. people try all ways to avoid army yet u try all ways to GET INTO army. talk about irony man. haha anyway take care of yourself inside there and i bet you can do more pull ups than me now. haha. gosh a sudden self realisation that j-wei is pathedic.

eh even heroes need to shit okay.

one thing that i was damn vexed about while reading today's papers. they say that the blood ppl donate is used for emergency bleeding cases as well as major operations. but don't those people pay for their medical fees? i mean it costs a bomb to go for operation lah. so why are we DONATING blood so that hospitals can profit by charging sky high prices? it doesn't make much sense does it? we donate blood for the hospitals to profit. wow i love the way this economy works.
okay i've cleared up a little. i blogged the below post in office at 9.30am in the morning. cos i really cldn't tahan. i finally understand wad monday blues means. i mean in sch we always say like wad monday blues, but it's really fake lah. lectures means sleeping time, tutorials means socialising time, break means cheap and nice canteen food, WHAT MONDAY BLUES?! now in the office, i'm stuck there all alone, with really no one to talk to. lunch is sad cos the food sucks bad. (LOL IT RHYMES) today i had the office canteen food. wah sebeh jialat.
and i've a serious serious dilemma. shld i get the n95 or n73?!!!! the n95 is seriously damn expensive, but it's a five mp camera and it SLIDES. lol. plus it has all the cool stuff inside. n73 is a super old fone that only has a 3.15 mp camera. so it's like i'm gonna pay 200 bucks for an outdated fone which zhuangyong bought twice and lost twice. but the n73 comes in black! and the n95 comes in ONLY silver. the stupid black one is the 8gb edition wich is totally a waste of money. so i seriously dunno which fone to get! and of cos the price is the major factor. but i mean i'm working now and the reason why i'm working is to EARN MONEY to SPEND. so why shld i compromise and go for outdated stuff WHEN I EARN AN INCOME WHICH CAN SUPPORT MY PRICEY N95? n95 is 388. i earn 69 a day. tt's like 6 days worth of work.
but of cos at the end of the day, there's always someone u'll have to ans to when u bring home that new fone: PARENTS. your best friend and fiend.
but of course a working class hero like me shld have courage in all difficulties :)

the photocopier is an office menace.
it just keeps screwing up on me. and it's the only thing that i'm actually damn afraid of. cos if i really spoil that thing, the whole office (and i mean WHOLE office) wld be after my blood. imagine the amount of monetary losses the company wld incur if the machine breaks down for a day. and of cos since it's a shared machine, everybody wld have an equal chance og screwing it up, so it's okay. NO. i spent half the time in the office photocopying stuff. so actually i have a 40% more chance of screwing up the machine than others. i mean tt's how offices replace their stuff right? nobody will bother replacing a new photocopier if it's still working, so everyone will just wait until SOMEONE spoils it, den get a new one. and that someone will get screwed over and over again cos he had the last touch. haha sounds familiar like how we put the blame on others when we were young yeah. SEE OFFICE POLITICS ARE CHILDISH. okay tt's not the point here, the point is that i dun want to be the one who spoils the machine!!!!!!
went to scan a whole lot of stuff with the photocopier again today. apparently photocopiers now have a scan function where u zap stuff but it emails them to your email. cool huh. "you've got mail from your friendly photocopying machine!" okay so my boss wants me to scan all the existing files and upload it on the net so that all the hard copies can be packed and stored away into some unknown place, making everything easier with an online database. haha tt's where i come in. SCAN SCAN SCAN. and scanning means the photocopier is my best fren again! today i went to scan at least 4 rims worth of paper from half of the files, and i jammed the machine at least a good 20 times. the paper always gets stuck in the feeder. of cos the easiest way to avoid this is to manually scan it (i.e putting one page at a time) but tt wld really take donkey years.
SO. everytime the thing jams as usual it goes BEEP BEEP BEEP and it wakes the dead up man seriously. and today right the whole office was practically empty cos all of them went to thailand for a staff retreat. hahaha. why dun they send office boys for retreats in thailand too? oh btw someone in the office was so afriad of me screwing up the machine again that she told me (in chinese): "boy ah today when u zap stuff rmbr to remove all the namecards and staples hor don't spoil it cos there's no one here today who knows how to fix the machine and if it spoils i can't photocopy." okay the last part of that sentence really revealed the true agenda of her little "i'm showing some concern to you" speech. but point noted. haha.
i really dunno why of all things in the world i fear the all mighty photocopying machine. and it's so important that i've actually devoted 3 posts for it! i was trembling today while scanning cos everytime the BEEP BEEP BEEP starting sounding my heart wld skip a beat. and at the end of the whole ordeal (yes ordeal), i realise i was actually cold sweating and my hands where all numb and cold. tt's how kan chiong i was. but u can't blame me after i sent 900 copies for printing just yesterday. or was it the day before? haha my memory's failing me.
anyway just for the record, i seriously love my job. i mean it may not have the best pay on earth (actually the pay's mediocre) but at least the people there treats like frens, and we laugh and bitch about others too. and ntuc income trips really give me nice after lunch exercises. hahaha. and best of all i have a super huge work space with a nice computer (it runs of vista lol) and a nice comfy chair. i mean i can't ask for much more right? everything's new lah cos the office's newly setted up, so seriously everything i'm using now is brand new :) and of cos, working seems to be a form of retreat from all your problems or insecurities. cos when u work u keep your mind busy, and times flies.
for now i've only one goal in my life - not to screw up the photocopying machine.
anyway, currently listening to click five's empty. it's really damn nice, although i really think they are still bubblegum pop, they sound and look too much like m2m. haha sorry yumi i knw u're gonna kill me! oh there's another one, give until there's nothing left by relient k. tt one's good stuff. and something to bring back primary school memories of listening to perfect 10 from those huge portable analogue radios - here's to the night by eve 6. haha it's really quite nostalgic. and just thinking how we've come so far since our primary school days is amazing.
it's the weekends! which means a break from work! although work's temporary on hold, i'm still very much a working class hero :)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
after one and a half weeks of work, i realise there's a small little problem. i'm looking more like a office boy cum despatch rider instead of an administrative officer. hmm okay actually i tot of the latter myself, sounds cool and high class yeah? i think it bascially means u do admin stuff i.e photocopy/fax/scan stuff and data entry, but still far far far better than a office boy or despatch rider.
now i look like one cos of what i wear to work: polo's and jeans. in a crowd of people who's all wearing nice suits and ties, i seriously look like a blue collar worker in the corporate world. and i can seriously feel the condescension when others are talking to me. it's damn obvious from their body language, the way they talk and the way they look at you. but of cos my office ppl treats me damn nice, it's just the rest of the corporate world haha. and besides what i wear, it's also the things i do which makes me look like a despatch rider. i go down to ntuc almost everyday to submit insurance forms, and run around in shenton way to pass insurance forms to other people. hahaha. now if i only had a bike to come along, i wldn't even bother to be polite. i wld just sound like one of those despatch riders. hahaha.
yes so it gets awfully frustrating sometimes, i feel like telling the whole world that i'm a bloody a lvl student and i come from victoria junior college so pls treat me with some respect cos i may probably own your entire life in a few years time. HAHAHA. and i can't change what i'm wearing also rite. i mean if i come to work in suit and all, i wld seriously look mismatched, and how do u expect me to run errands with a nice tie?! so i guess i'll just have to look like an office boy for now. haiz the corporate world is a harsh and cruel one.
but it's okay, i'm a working class hero :)

horrors.
ever since i started work last wednesday, today has been the most cock up day.the photocopying machine literally screwed me. upside down left right centre. well i guess it wasn't in a good mood today. yes even photocopying machines have mood swings.
early in the morning i had to scan some stuff using the machine. was as usual i fed all the whole stack of to-be-scanned stuff into the feeder. i've seen ppl sticking post it notes and it goes in and comes out fine, so i decided to staple a namecard on the paper and just send it for scanning as well. bad idea. the namecard got jammed inside the machine of course, and the worse thing was it's making a hell lot of noise telling the whole world that it has a paper jam. can u imagine how quiet the office is in the morning and this machine going beep beep beep and it never stops. bloody hell. i freaked out and panic. and in the end this other guy who works at the main office had to open up the machine and get the namecard out from beneath. tt's how deeply stuck the namecard was. freakin freakin pai seh.
okay so nvm tt's not the ultimate. i went to photocopy again in the afternoon. and this type it screwed up real badly. by some damn miracle i keyed in 900 copies into the machine, so it started printing 900 copies for me. i mean who the hell would be so free to check everytime tt the number of copies is ONE. so i waited there like an idiot thinking that the machine was printing stuff for other ppl (cos it's a shared machine by the whole office), and by the time i realised it was actaully printing MINE STUFF, i've already wasted a rim of paper. literally a rim. those that u buy straight from popular. gosh the amount of trees i killed. and i was seriously expecting someone to screw me up real badly, but by some miracle the admin person in the main office just smiled and tell me she'll recycle the whole stack. every cloud has a silver lining? haha. but now i'm really damn freaked out by the photocopying machine. IT DICTATES YOUR LIFE. ever since tt incident i went back to the main office to check if the machine was printing any of my stuff again. and gosh it prints super fast man. seriously it just goes zoom zoom zoom and the paper just fly out like free. don't even have time to stop the stupid thing.
lucky no one really bothers what the photocopying machine does cos it's printing stuff all the time. gosh i was really damn scared tt the machine wld break down or something. and i have phobia of that thing now man. everytime i zap stuff i wld keep my fingers crossed that i won't hear the dreaded sound of paper getting jammed in the machine, and the stupid buzzer wld beep and beep like the world's coming to an end.
anyway on with happier stuff. haha yumi's working at raffles hospital which is like just a stone throw away from my office building. huihui is working somewhere near there too but she doesn't know the exact location even though she has beening working for weeks (typical), and i saw tracy at the bras bersah ntuc income branch today when i went to submit insurance forms for the company i work for. haha i seriously got a shock when i opened the door and see her standing there staring at me. lol she tot i purposely went to visit her and kept signalling me to buzz off. HAHA U WISH LAH TRACY U THINK I SO FREE COME VISIT YOU ISSIT. yes so tracy was there on her first day learning to do admin stuff. and coincidentally huihui was actually working at ntuc income admin before selling times magazine. CONCLUSION: THIS WORLD IS SUPER SMALL SO DON'T DO EVIL THINGS. yes and god always puts the right people at the right places. it was pouring today and just nice tracy had an umbrella for me to return to my office :) see tracy u're not that useless! u can be at ntuc to lend me umbrellas on a rainy day. HAHAHAHA.

yes so tmr i re-enter the coporate world to fight epic battles.
i'm a working class hero :)

i guess i was wrong about what i sad about in my previous post. today's outing was a great success and i have no regrets calling every single one of odac ppl up. cos the turn out was really great. i mean considering how everybody's working and have other commitments. i wld really say today's outing had almost everybody coming, minus those typical ppl who aren't interested at all. i didn't bother calling them anyway. haha okay jwei is evil. yup but today was great, haha thanks people! :)
have been going out with my close frens whom are enlisting tmr, and i cld really feel the general sense of sadness even though we still laughed and joked about the usual stuff. everybody's trying to put on a brave front, i mean, guys dun get emo about this kind of stuff that we're suppose to be gung ho about.
and at the end of the day, as we say our last goodbyes, i can really feel the suffocating loneliness. not in those going tekong, but in me. they will find new frens, better ones even, when they go army, and of cos army wld be so tiring and busy that they wldn't even have the time to think of such nonsense. but for ppl like me, another close fren going in means another fren lost to go and lepak with. and even in clicks, that one person may connect all the others together, and when tt person is gone the click automatically dismantle too. it's like a missing link in a broken chain, every part of it is important.
of cos having anticipated all that coming, i'm going to turn into a full time workaholic tmr. 9.530 wld be my admin job den 7-10 wld be my telemarketing one. seriously the monetary benefits are only a small portion of what i'm interested at. the main agenda is to simply keep myself busy, keep my mind busy, so that i won't think too much, and time will definitely slip by. i really dunno if i can keep up to this hectic schedule, but i guess i've just gotta try and see how it goes.
haha i know all these may sound abit gay, but i assure you it's strictly platonic. i'm still very much interested in girls. hahaha. we may be guys, but we're human too, in need of our basic needs. and friendship is definitely one of them.
goodbye cassidy and farrell, you'll be dearly missed.
and i'm very sure your mum and your dad misses both of u too :)

they say all becomes clear before death, and i reckon it's true cos farrell just came up with the ultimate enlightening quote two days before he's scheduled for tekong, or more affectionately known as death.
"there comes a point in your life when you realise who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will; so don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future."
farrell chan guan heng
well it kinda sums up what have been running through my mind these few months. people whom you think matters most, those are the ones which truly deserve to be cherished. it has been a good 2 months since sch ended and i guess i've pretty much seen who's worth it and who's not from the effort others put in to keep in contact with you. it doesn't matter how much time you spend with, or how close u are to that person in school, what matters is outside. cos now school doesn't exist anymore. and it's when u have to make real commitments, it's when u have to make plans and free up your time to meet up with your frens, tt u truely see those who are just down right superficial and full of excuses. i mean it's complusory to go school, but it's not compulsory to make a point to go for a gathering. and being an organiser, u see those who truely try to make an effort to come down like jasminetye (i'm sorry but we're still enemies), or those who dun even bother replying my messages. if u're showing me the "i dun give a damn" attitude then why shld i give a damn abit you? yes thank you farrell for your words of enlightenment. it's a pity your days are truly numbered.
i dun believe in the "sorry i've got no time" kinda excuses. it's how u plan and prioritise. we all work on a value system. we rank people according to how we value them. even if u're working 24 hours a day, u still wld have time to meet with your closest frens or girlfriend, so please people, the nxt time u try to give an excuse, pls come up with something better. i'm working like a dog too, everyone's working for goodness sake.
and i guess i was right about some people all along. they are really screwed up.
of cos i'm not denying that i'm a saint. i'm guilty of this too. everyone's guilty of it.
sorry i'm just not in a good mood today. maybe tmr will be a better day.
the world is warped. HAHAHAHAHAHA

i'm damn pissed off with uob apparently they screwed up my transaction details and now my acct is 50 bucks short. i'm gonna check it tmr again and it better be back to normal. how can a bank screw things up. what is the world coming to.
AND JASMINE WONG YAN LI IS OFFICIALLY NO LONGER MY FRIEND NOR ACQUAINTANCE COS SHE DECIDED TO RUN AWAY RATHER THAN PAY ME BACK HUNDRED AND FORTY THREE BUCKS WHICH SHE OWES ME SINCE DONKEY YEARS AGO AND I WAS SO KIND GIVING HER A ZERO PERCENT INTEREST RATE.

be very afraid.

revamped.
following numerous complains about the template of my blog being too gay (me myself find it gay purple yuck yuck yuck!), i've finally decided to change it! a brand new blog for a brand new year. but i hate the html stuff so first of a great big THANK YOU TO AARON! he helped me do up almost everything. haha green is the new colour for 2008 man! and i think the template's simple but nice. muhahahaha. but i hate changing blog skins cos u have to search high and low for the one you like, and there's like soooo many complications. but despite all welcome to the new blog! and now reading my posts is no longer a chore. the stupid grey font on a white background coupled with ultra small font render my posts kinda unreadable. so kudos to all of u who cld actually read. cos i had a hard time trying to read of my own blog oso. hahahhaha.
now the new year is finally here and i guess i've gotten pretty used to the change of life. i miss school terribly but there's nothing much i can do to change that. we'll just have to accept the changes that come. i still rmbr this prayer which goes something like that: "grant me the serenity's to accept what i cannot change, the courage to change what i can, and the wisdom to know the difference." yep so we'll just have to move on.
entering the corporate world is really not easy. existing as the lowest lifeform in the corporate food chain, u're literally swimming in piles of shit, and i'm sure all of u have similar experiences. and i realised that the real world isn't so kind to lowest lifeforms like us. but i'm just glad that everything's fine and peaceful in my workplace, and i'm actually having fun. i've learnt quite alot, like how to operate photocopying machines and faxing stuff to ppl. hoho i've even talked to clients and gave them my number. hahahaha. and my telemarketing night job is actually more relaxing and fun than proper work. haha everyone's literally slacking lol. and working with frens is really much much much more fun than working alone!
oh went with liwen to see yuanli ytd and this si the first time i've seen her so serious and proper. hahahha. she didn't even dare come over and talk to us la! must be having a hard time yeah hahahhaa. JIAYOU! haha but i think stella and huihui are the most jialat ones, wah seh i'll never ever work in times man. but jiayou too ya!
and i tink handphone speakers shld be permanently banned from the face of this earth. i dun understand what satisfaction do does ah bengs and mats get when they blast their music in the handphone speakers. the sound quality is really horrid and u dun have to let the whole world know what u're listening to. i mean i perfectly understand if u ppl are too poor to afford a pair of cheap headphones which cost less than 10 bucks, but i think cash converters have some that cost less than 5? maybe i shld direct the ah bengs and mats to faris cos he's a pro at cash converter prices and merchandises! hahahaha. bunch of bastards are freakin irritating. and today was the worst man, i was in the mrt sitting nxt to this indian who was blasting indian music on this lousy handphone. and he seemed to be enjoying it, oblivious to the fact tt the whole freakin train was staring at him. gosh retards do exist.
yes and i've gotta start thinking of new year resolutions man. and maybe a nice wishlist cos now i'm finally a working individual WITH AN INCOME. muhahahahaha.
i know it's abit late, but happy new year to you all :)

BLOODY EZLINK CARDS
for goodness sake i'm still a damn student i do not earn a sizeable salary which can fund the bloody ezlink card. it's ridiculous man my cheapest trip is 67 cents. tt's still 22 cents more expensive than the student flat rate of 45 cents. and tt's the CHEAPEST. usually it averages at 1.50. freakin bullshit i dun believe the damn bus requires 1.50 to fetch us from point a to point b. sbs transit think we stupid issit huge companies like them definitely earn ECONOMIES OF SCALE which greatly spreads out their operating cos. come to think of it they are a natural monopoly lah i can even draw the graph here if you want. so 1.50 is ultimate daylight robbery. the stupid diesel is much cheaper and the aircon in the bus is like my fan at home. SO WHAT ARE U CHARGING ME FOR? in fact i think sbs shld pay me to take their buses those damn tv mobiles are freakin noise pollution and they show backdated drama serials. which idiot in this right frame of mind wld enjoy his tv experience on a freakin crowded bus! and even if i'm really interested my bus ride won't start zhun zhun at the start of the drama serial and end 1 hour later right. gosh this is ridiculous every 2 days i top up 10 bucks and find it missing 2 days later. it's like your ezlink cards are bleeding money as u walk around.
being on the worst end of a third degree pricing sucks. pls lah i'm not an adult so u dun have to charge me insane prices to subsidise those kids wich i seriously think are much richer than me.
i guess driving isn't such a bad idea anymore.

and so it is...
unknowingly, we've crossed the boundaries of time and entered the new year again. yet our orientation days felt just like yesterday. who can ever forget the first day of sch, the first bus ride together with so many unfamiliar faces, the first time we stepped into the sch compound. two years have just slipped pass us so quickly, and before we know it, we're at the crossroads of our lives again.
well to tell u the truth i'm very afraid of the future. the sense of uncertainty is overwhelming. throughout eighteen years of my life, i've been conforming to a rigid structure imposed by our education system. the blueprints of all our lives seemed so simple. primary education, followed by secondary education, get a cca, aim for the top position, study hard, get into a good jc, get another cca in jc, and study hard for a's. i didn't really need to bother where i was headed too, much less stop and think what's my next step in life, for the answer was simple, just follow and conform. and although conformity may seem mundane, it has actually provided me with the much needed security, the sense of certainty. someone has planned my life for me, i needn't bother myself with such metaphysical stuff. the goal was simple, achieve the best i cld within this parameter, and not fall into the cracks of the society.
wad mr tong said the other time is disturbingly true. jc education is the last stage of your fake education, after that, u're practically on your own. and now as my jc life comes to an end, i find myself staring into the vast future. and to the honest, the flexibility and the vast amount of options available freaks me out. for the first time in eighteen years of my life, i have nothing to conform to, nothing to follow. and i guess this is a problem which most of us face. we've been so used to conforming that we dun really welcome the idea of freedom. to put it simply, we're challenging the very status quo that we've been built upon all our lives.
tomorrow's the start of a new year. to be honest, i envy those who make their way back to school. at least they are back in their familiar territory, where there are familiar faces, familiar voices, and a unified goal to work towards. for ppl like me, tmr marks the start of a new working year. and i'm dead afraid.
for once, i'm in control of my own life.
