Drained. Once again, I’m back in the endless rat race, where my energy level will deplete from its full (which was never full to start with) gauge till emptiness before refill. This time round, I’m running flat by week 2. I could use a break for real. Someone get me cough syrup pls. X_X Random thoughts “Because you care. That’s why you are upset.” “Because you are concerned, that’s why you are annoyed.” How apt is the above sentence in describing interpersonal affairs. On a side note, i ish jin sad. Watching Macross Frontier ep 20 & the playboy actually sacrificed himself to protect the gal… Awww… I has a sad now. X_X Familiar? see more puppies Looks familiar? Things like these seems funny all the time. Oh well, i can has hotdogs now? Coincidence… A certain wednesday afternoon, we spotted the most unexpected person distributing political flyers in campus….. DR CHEE!!! oh well. Damn tempted to try the “Bye, Dr Chee, Bye!!” but decided shouldn’t due to random thoughts. Speaking of which, a recent plurk by Starmist-san gotten me thinking… And over dinner, we were talking abt it when Joelle-san mentioned something on plurk which I sort of noticed… Pure coincidence? I went back to re-read, and true enough, there’s trace of that coincidence there… Perhaps it’s time I read things carefully from now on. I has a sad I have to admit, for a period of time, life was really a low point (and in particular damn sad) for me, as I struggle to deal with the pain of being potentially locked on to long-term medication, a receding hairline, a even stressful x10 semester ahead & various other issues in my social life. Afterall, life’s never a bed of rose. Not to mention, the recent illness outbreak, and turn of events set me thinking non-stop on what should I be doing, where should I be at, and other matters. And it certainly doesn’t help that I’m out of the loop. Not even the recent recognition does. I guess perhaps it’s time I should put in my everything for that remaining 1.5 - 2 yrs of sponsored education, and hope things subsequently improve. I wish things can only get better, not worse. Lost for words… Right after I checked in my N82 into handphone ‘hospital’ at Wheelock, I reached home shortly only to realise a certain relative trying to reach me. Shortly after, I’m at another hospital. And not just witnessing blood, but even touching and feeling it. I never wanna experience this again. Recognition 2 semesters (or 1 academic yr) of hard work. And finally, some recognition… Hilarious quotes during the event: Prof Gary: “Eh how come u wear so casual?” X_X Prof Khoo: “Must carry balls abit!!” *while giving up his seat to vice-dean* Chris: “Jordan! I pay u $50 to run and hug the dean!” Jordan: “NO WAY MAN! even if u pay me $50, i oso won’t do so!!” -30 secs later- Jordan: “U pay me $51, den i will do so.” Prof Leong: “Is it the same as last yr’s?” Random gal: “Yah it is..” Leong: “Aiya they next time shld print hello kitty, mickey mouse, etc. den ppl will wanna collect all. lagi best, collect 4 get 1 free.” & at end of event when guest & faculties are ushered 1st to tea reception, Prof Gan: “Tell u wat, u give me ur medal & u can go 1st instead.” With frens & faculties lidat, school can be pretty fun too. =P Preparation, I no has. 4 days left, and I am NOT a single bit prepared at all for all those shit to come. On a side note, the class I’m allocated to take charge of only has a farking enrolment of 16, compared to my fellow TA’s class of 31. And oh, did I mention his class has someone by the name of HAHA. I shit ya not. Too bad her surname’s not WA. That will be damn freaking cool. =P Random updates As per title, random misc updates since my absence for afew weeks due to my wisdom tooth extraction (cos too much of it alr) & other misc nonsense. Spotted sleeping @ AMK Bata sleep till jin song… Broadcasted on SCV CCTV news on 1st day of Olympics ENGLISH FAIL~ & not to mention, apparently Fujiwara Takumi changed job & deliver prata instead. Taken outside the prata house near Lower Pierce reservoir. & oh, apparently Takumi jin budget, the other side of car bo decal. tsk. Nice afternoon lunching & lazing @ SICC on a Mon afternoon.. maybe it’s time to pick up golf too… & lastly, the guest toilet that I’ll love to use over & over again cos… BVLGARI products for guests to use~! =P Anyway there’s sth wrong with my a/c which doesn’t allow wordpress to display btwn html code mode & the usual mode with tool bars. =( Anyone has any idea why it suddenly disappears? Wall-E Movie Meme Contest From: THB’s blog The craziest thing I have done for love is believing it is love when it actually was a booty call… Catch Wall-E in cinemas from 28 August 2008 (ORIGINATOR BLOG: http://the-hb-diaries.blogspot.com) The craziest thing I have done for love is rushing down to her place with a bottle of pi pa gao @ 130km/h, becos she told me she has a sore throat. Catch Wall-E in cinemas from 28 August 2008 (http://cowg0esm0o.liquidblade.com/) Hide & Seek I believe dogs are reflective of owners, much as owners are reflective of their dogs. Those who know me would probably knew I gotten tons of hideous scars and teeth marks on my left hand. Why the left? Cos it acted as the blocking/shielding arm while the master hand go in for the kill. With a “1 hand clap”. Well few know that it took on some bad habits from other members in my family (a messed up 1, that is) and become damn ‘NUA’ everyday. So 1 fine morning I woke up awhile back and prepare to go to work when I notice my little rascal’s MIA. After a short search, I found him hiding under the bed among the boxes: “Kua simi?!” Of cos, this sleepy little rascal acts all the time. By the time I’m done washing up, he was already concussed: “zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” Oh well. rascals will always be rascals. NDP feedback After a brief hiatus (with an apparent spike of visitor rate during 29 to 31st July, can someone explain why?), i’ll kick off with the NDP preview I attended last Sat 2/8.

Take the Quiz!Check out the Book 8 more work hours… Finally, 14 weeks of near-hell’s almost at an end… 8 hrs to charge, let me see…. 7h admin 1h client. Voila, settled. =P Plurk vs Blog Ever after since Twitter, I’m blogging lesser and with Plurk, blogging seems non-existent. So what exactly about plurk that’s so attractive? It’s a…. - MSN - IRC - gmail mass chat all rolled into 1. Plurk seems to be ’safe’ enuff to be opened publicly in office, due to its nature. But on the other hand, blogging is mroe suitable for intellectual shite that u wish u can shout it out but stuck in ur mouth with that fist blocking ur throat. meanwhile. let me rediscover my mojo. and get certain things back on thread. Love is…..liek shite… Courtesy of Jaywalk, who plurked this hilarious shite. =P 爱情就像大便 来了挡也挡不住 爱情就像大便 水一冲就再也不回来 爱情就像大便 每一次一样又不大一样 爱情就像大便 有时努力了很久却只是个屁 Admin boleh~ Guys who have been thru NS would know that there’s a massive dislike towards folks from the admin side. No, it’s not that we hate them all, but a few idiots in them kind of twisted everyone’s perception of them towards the ugly side. Fast-forward to the corporate world, we now hate mindless staff in call centres who happened to be outsourced and located in some country with weird accent. (u know where i’m referring to) And despite efforts to ensure quality within the Value Chain (by Michael Porter), there always seems to be loopholes that affect the overall quality. As for education?? Jaschocolate recently ranted on plurk abt the admin incompetence in her school, which seems to be common in most tertiary provider. As for me? I experienced the following: Now… How exactly can someone realise such a thing (concerning $$ of cos) after 2 yrs? And not a small sum, if u know my tale. tsk tsk. So much for Porter’s Value Chain… Right now…. I need a career plan. And anything related to Big 4 is considered a fallback of last resort. The idea of studying 2 more years (instead of 1.5 yrs) just because my expenses are covered for 4 in total, doesn’t make that idea any much better. It only becomes more bearable cos of additional cashflow redirected to drinking, driving, and other vices. Perhaps I shld do up an entry on my vices soon. For now, let it be…. =P My wretched Right eye… Those of u who knew me would probably know I was vain enuff to go for Lasik last October. Those who meet up with me occasionally would realise my right eye is extremely dry and easily irritated. Only 1 or 2 would know I am on Duratears ointment for my right eye in particular, due to its tendency to dry up easily. But 1 of the key sucky side effects? Blurry vision for 1/2 to 1 h. Remind me again why I shouldn’t drive immediately after applying this nonsense. Guess u folks can be attending my funeral before 40, for my list of health ailments…. Awfully Chocolate… There u go. Their ‘Hei’ (Black in chinese) chocolate ice cream pint, which taste jin nice… And no, Jaschocolate, u cannot has chocolate ice cream. lalalala…..guess i’m growing fat alr. =( Love, what is it? - 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. So what exactly is the above talking about? After so many years, I still don’t get what is it about actually. My own definition? Something along the line of the strip below: Love is…..willing to share someone’s burdens and griefs unconditionally.  P.S. don’t ask me why I know the above verbs. I ish has a bible, and i ish not a christian. go figure. My trusty bible of almost 10 yrs, which I hardly touched… Meanwhile, I’m going on a short hiatus. Work matters and other issues’ keeping my hands full… Idiots & Jokes Some things are not meant to be funny. And it doesn’t help when idiots try to be funny & poke fun at it. It only worsen things. ‘Nuff said. Blog dry-spell As per header. Not exactly in the mood to blog, + a series of issues’ keeping me at bay. Promised to be back soon though. Stay tuned. Random quotes from Pursuit of Happyness I wonder what’s with the quotes tonight, but I just feel like quoting afew of my familar quotes from movies. And tonight, from Will Smith’s Pursuit of Happyness, which was an inspirational movie that kinda changed my outlook on life. If any. This 1’s the key quote that has always brought me thru these 1.5 yrs evar since I caught the movie in Feb 07. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can’t do it. You want something? Go get it. Period. And this, is something that I’ll like to engrave in my heart, but I can’t. Cos I’m not almighty and infallible. Don’t ever let someone tell you, you can’t do something. Not even me. As for this? It’s just some random quote to make myself feel better if things doesn’t go my way. As usual. Maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue. And maybe we can actually never have it no matter what. Perhaps life’s just a game of Roulette. Sometime it’s odd, sometimes it’s even. Sometimes it’s red, sometimes it’s black. And every now and then, it’ll become a green 0 and all loses. Oh well. Random quote: “letting u into my life” “Just because I told you my story, does not invite you to be a part of it!” - From the movie, The Bucket List. Indeed, how apt. Sudoku Challenge Finals Ok as mentioned previously, I only made it into the 4th round of Top 25, only to fail in reaching the Championship decider round of Top 5. An all-gals Final, it was. Geez. Guess guys are useless nowadays. [me no count cos me animal.] For the event, they gotten Tay Pinghui, Michelle Chia, Chen Hanwei, Felicia Chin & Utt [L-R] to grace the event, as well as to ask audiences participate in stage games where they get to win Brands’ Hampers. As for the SG opens itself, I was seated somewhat in the centre, beside this big oval board that has BRANDS’ logo on it. And in front of me? A 12 yr old boy with that Doraemon waterbottle. Young and admirable, cos he made it into 4th round with me. [only to get KO-ed, of cos.] His dad was damn noisy from the side though. [could hear him during the marathon 3rd rd though.] Anyway for those are unsure as to the rules for the Finals, here’s how things goes. There’s a total of 5 rounds. For 1st 2 rounds, there will be a scoring system like that of F1, where 1st gets 25 pts, 2nd gets 24pts, etc etc and last gets 1 pt. Also, for 1st 2 rounds, last 25 will be KO-ed. In the 3rd round, top 25 is determined by pts. So 1st rd is a test of speed, with 1 easy quiz. 2nd’s a test of skill, with 1 middle quiz. 3rd’s a test of stamina, with 10x easy quiz to solve within a time limit of 20 mins and each correct will fetch u 1pt. 4th’s the critical rd with 1x taxing puzzle, where only top 5 will make it to the last round. As for the 5th? It’s the championship decider rd where only the top 3 will get the prizes. Their test? 1x hard & 1x taxing. Interested? U can give it a try @ http://www.websudoku.com and train up for next yr’s sudoku challenge. Meanwhile for now, I’ll figure out what to do with my $100 loot. Blogging & Me Right now, I’m so packed with work & procrastination that there’s hardly any time for blogging. I’ve seen bloggers who are overwhelmed by changes in lifestyle, work, etc that they stopped blogging and gone on hiatus permanently. As for some others, blogging seems to be part of their life that they find it weird not to blog daily. Source: www.comics.com/comics/pearls As for me? Life just goes on for me, while I graze my grasses… On a side note, this week has been a really tiring week for me. Endless deadlines, random misc work popping up, and a competition which I didn’t make it past Top 25 into Top 5 (more in later post another day).For now, I need lots of snores…. (P.S. I drool-ed not just once, but twice this week…on the bus!!) [P.P.S. a little gal saw me drool and gave me the ‘EEEEK~’ look.]And I wish I can don’t get out of bed till at least noon…For all shit happens in the morning when 1’s groggy.. Source: www.comics.com/comics/pearls But that has to wait till internship’s over on 1st Aug. X( P.S. A super advance bdae gift request. Can someone get me this VF-25 from Macross Frontier series? It’s scheduled to be out in Nov 08. =P Source: www.hlj.comI ish always a sucker for Mechas. Quote: “Regrets” “If you know you’re gonna regret it, why not give it a try?” - Quote from Macross Frontier ep 14  And yet… I regret it when I knew I shld be doing something in a particular situation, and yet I didn’t do it. Only seeks to worsen things. I ish the worst, I concur. Random Rant abt moiself I ish da worst, I concur. Haiz. Temporary Hiatus With reports due and a competition looming, I’ve been toooooooooooooo busy to actually blog at all. Despite these, kindly help click on my Nuffnang ads (if any) so that I can earn afew more cents (yesh, cents) to buy my asshat dog some dog biscuits. =) Meanwhile, remember!
