13 August 08 8 papers is all i have for this semester's exam.1. 14/112. 14/113. 17/114. 19/115. 20/116. 24/117. 27/118. 28/11 16 July '08 This is what a chap in Dephiforum wrote:"This is what happen when a temple don't pay the monks market rate to retain and attract talents from the private sector. They wil turn corrupt.... or will not become monk any more... then there won't be quality monk to run the temple, and then maybe the christian pastor, catholic priest and muslim leaders will take over the temple, and undo everything the monk has done in the last 50 years. When that happen, there is a good chance the monks in the temple will end up as maids for the church, and mosque."Omg, this is really funny shit.Heard that some charities have plenty in reserves. Not in the range of 1 or 2 millions, but a few hundred millions. Goodness. My goodness. 15 July 2008 I ask myself, is engineering worth it. Helping my sister Blink of an eye, my sis's already sec3. But honestly, i doubt anyone could recognize she's sec3 cos of her diminutive size. It's reminiscent of my past. Like her, i'm pint-sized. Ok, that's besides the point.The point is, her grades are, quite simply put, atrocious.English - C6Higher Chinese - A2Math - E8Combined Science(Chem, Bio) - C6Combined Humanities(SS, Geo) - B4Art - B4POA - A1Since she's strong and has firm interest in Accounting, i hope i can help her to get into Accountancy. But, as results suggest, there's plenty of obstacles ahead. Math and English are priorities for now. 18 June 2008 It's not about the fun anymore. There's so many things to learn and inquire, especially the next step in life. My mantra of happiness - family, health, wealth.Gotta work really hard on the wealth aspect. And academically too, something which i've let my foot off the pedal and got myself way behind my fellow peers. I need to drive faster. I have an awesome co-driver but I need a good engine. Renaissance Epiphanies during this exam period, or should i refer as plight, brought me back here. I probably just need an avenue to pen, no keyboard, down my thoughts once in a while. That's why i've resurfaced, but i'm not going to announce my revival of this long-abandoned site. Well, that's the whole point of surfacing back here - to remain anonymous and low-key. I don't see a need for me to restrict or password-lock this site, if you stumble upon it, it probably just goes to show that i have a place in your heart, that you earn every right to read my inner thoughts. I'm keeping this site to show the disparate change in me. It's been at least 2 years since i've penned something. After reading some of my previous posts, i realise what a frivolous dumbass i was. Hahaha. But it's all good, not that i've changed for the better. Perhaps i'm even more imbecilic now, god i wouldn't know would i? Like i said, the past few exams have been a hellacious experience, yet at the same time epiphanies dawned upon me. Fact is, i'm truly struggling. Metaphorically, i'm literally dog-paddling across the Pacific Ocean. It's scheduled that i am to reach the other side of the world within a stipulated 4 years' time. Because i'm dog-paddling, now there's no way in hell i can reach there in time. Funny thing is, how i always manage to deceive myself, that i can. I have to stop believing that i'm too smart for this, cos fact is, i'm not. Overconfidence and disregard proved to be my downfall. I'm almost at the bottom of the valley and i can't stop the landslide for now.I need a grip. I know i've found one. sis: eh, ur stomach looks horrible vinh: what the..end of story. i am old already.knee is starting to give way. Tribute to Pistol Pete This is something worth writing about - after holding on to the undisputed fit zai of 4/4 since 1999, yours truly has officially been dethroned by none other than our very own pistol pete, better known as 1 of the few hunchmen of Lao Da Hong. This is certainly not 1 of the proudest achievements of vinh and he's feeling sick in the stomach right now. Not that he has been ousted, but by the fact that his 2.4km has dropped by, let's say, considerable standard. Never in his dreams would he think that gold'd elude him. Gold is supposedly stuck to him whole life. It's akin to shitting and peeing, if u get the connection. Shit = got pee; vinh = got gold. See?Yet, he felt very happy and extended his congratulation to his successor during the swim, where he soon found out that pistol pete ran a staggering 9 flat. Now that's a big deal for a reservist. LoL. It's akin to 8 flat in my humble opinion. Actually, vinh's current timing isn't really that far off - a mere 100 seconds. Nonetheless, hats off to our champion hunchman, who after years of plotting for the downfall, or rather freefall, of vinh, finally gave yours truly the boot.Hehe. "Women of Times" has officially ended last friday T.T and i finished the amazing wonderful stupendous outstanding incredible *insert more adjectives* book and is now re-reading it o.0 I was eagerly anticipating the next 9pm drama in line, tuning in at 9pm sharp after the Superband show in channel U, but it turned out some crap police and thief drama series. Ok, not exactly got thief in the show(i never watched also), i'am merely showing disregard. Have never liked police drama series, perhaps except HK's. Give me drama series pertaining to matters of the heart - family, etc, i'll take anytime. I mentioned Superband show at Channel U didn't i? It's definitely much better than Singapore Idol, which showcases some really ordinary singers-wannabe. Whereas in Superband, it's akin to listening to live shows you know what i mean. Those instruments really make a hell of difference. Of cos, i dislike groups like Soul and Brods, if you ever did catch a glimpse of it, just to enforce my point here. Speaking of live performances, this coming 17th June @ hard rock cafe 8pm (those who watch MTV should know), there'll be a top band hailing from Indonesia (yes, not US or what nod but Indo) to rock the local scenes. Er, intentionally or unintentionally, their name is Peterpan o.0 I love their songs very much, nuff said. Anybuttie interested? I wished i didn't swallow the 12-hr-old wanton from the wanton mee i ate. Heng it was only a few farts, albeit not so friendly farts, that left my parents scrambling for cover.Pity i swallowed only 1 out of 3. Damn. I can't resist it. I need to have it before i hit the sack every damn night....Myojo Tom Yam Instant NoodlesWithout you, i simply cannot sleep.It's a pity i'm not paid to do this. Wrestling Since young, i've been hooked on wrestling due to influence of my father. That prolly explains my violent nature. Ok, that's besides the point. Even though sometime ago when i realised wrestling is all but scripted, i still really like it. It's some good nice shit to me man. It's perhaps more interesting to wonder if things are really going as scripted.I admire their athleticism and professionalism. Such high intensity competitions are bound to invoke personal differences. But yet, pro wrestlers always seem to manage to cast aside personal disputes.Sure, wrestling moves are unreal, and meant to maximise 'impact' and minimise 'pain'. But not every mother son has the ability to perform some ridiculous moves. For example, i see in TNA wrestling (another mainstream wrestling show besides WWE), this main event whereby one of the wrestlers pour out a large quantity of thumbtags. We're talking bout thumbtabs man. What do they do with it? Needless to say, of cos bodyslam into the pool of thumbtags man. It's goddamn impressive. You can see his triceps full of thumbtags. Power sia. Imagine the pain. Later even more impressive stuff was when he was slammed face first, yes face first, into the pool of thumbtags. (He's actually wearing a half-covered face mask but still exposed some portions of his face and more importantly, his eyes.) Respect man. Needless to say, the guy kena bombarded by thumbtags lost. You see the amount of sacrifice by the guy who lost, to make the other guy champion. They did it for the fans man. Nearly a month worth of hiatus and i must say i've lost abit of touch. No la, to much dismay, i didn't vanquish under the hot sun of malaysia penggerang, nor was i toasted by the lightnings in the open rural areas. Just that i've been rotting excessively and an alternative blog keeps me away from here.And man, i woke up 5pm today. Sheesh, that was almost 12hrs worth of concussing but i certainly didn't do anything strenuous physically nor mentally yesterday did i? Must be the afternoon rain wielding its magic ward and cast me to a long deep sleep. And perhaps because naughty Ariel wasn't there making the 'zzzzz' noises or the tight bitch slaps to wake me up. Diao, by the time i woke up, the day had effectively ended already, with the sun setting in soon. Wtf.Just watching channels 20, 22, 23, 24 alone can keep me wide awake for the entire night. Man i'm seriously glued to the tv and i think i need to seek professional help, just like how a friend of mine who watches too much of 'hardo gay' needs it too. LoL. Kidding. But i'm really getting hooked on local channel 8 and U's shows. There's something about local mandarin drama series that hk series don't have. They got the local flavour that draws me and also, they are somehow more realistic and less drastic than hk series. Hmm, i guess i'm just being overinfluenced by mamy, who is a hardcore local drama series fan. I'm reliving my childhood times, where i would yearn for 7 and 9pm everyday of my life. And seriously, all those simi lj idol or project reality shows are grabbing my attentions too o.0Time check: 5.30amTime to concuss. Tomorrow still must pei pete & kong, the dynamic topless fc duo no less, to walk the orchard roads and bio young hot chicksbuy some stuff. Ciao. Revamped cb, i forgot to back up the links o.0 Be very mindful of what you speak especially when it concerns somebody else's job. You see, there may be people who, in the name of 'goodwill' and 'justice', speaks up for you to your boss without your approval/knowledge for he can't stand the 'mini mistreatment'. No OT pay? Slightly overworked and underpaid? As long as you yourself dun mind. But your friend told your boss off.What this friend doesn't realise is, because of his unnecessary words spoken to the boss, it puts someone else's job in jeopardy, and what's worse, this person holding the job dunno anything about it at all. It's totally ridiculous because if he (jobholder) himself doesn't mind, why would the friend want to complain about it behind your back??!!!I wonder if anyone realises, but if one does such a 'goodwilled' thing, he is putting someone's job on the line. Obviously the boss wouldn't be happy at all, because it would seem you (jobholder) are stabbing him at the back and can't talk straight, a hypocrite.That is the last thing anyone should do, being that 'friend'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Anyway this very pleasant morning, i had the best awakening call. Alright not a call, but i felt something small yet thick thing tingling beneath my right thigh. Subconciously i reached for it with my right hand and squashed it with my forefinger and thumb. I felt the 'crunchy' feeling and the 'legs'. Turned out to be a friggin bee.Magnificent. Magnificently hundreds of bees outside the window streaming in (btw, i was sleeping near the window :/) At least 10 over bees had invaded the house. Thank god my mama, the superwoman, killed them all with the multi-functional Baygon.Last thing i heard was the direct neighbour 1 storey down had her entire house invaded. As in really invaded. Imagine a hundred cute lil crunchy babies flying ferociously. Happy scenes :) Now I know Now i know that if you want to buy 2 cans of drink from the vending machine, you have to buy 1 at a time.Cannot insert $$ for 2 cans and press twice.Becos only 1 will pop out of the hole.Omg. Yea so to all those who came to my room and saw somebody other than mr chan syz tsun (something like that la) habituating in my single deluxe room, i can understand the surprised expression on your face.It's actually upon a friend's request that her friend needed a room to stay in hall for a short 3-day stint. Ok lor, i wouldn't mind risking eviction from hall to help out a friend la, well since the chances of getting caught for this sort of thang is negligible. However, upon knowing that it's a guy instead of gal that i was eagerly hoping for, i nearly rejected her request.Kidding la.Anyway, for the past couple of days, i have been pondering whether to stay in hall. I thought of some really important points and advantages of staying back home. Certainly, i was more inclined being a homie already.But then, for all those important points i conjured, they were all overrided by just 1 factor. Hence, hall/home.But it certainly won't be easy as i only can apply during the 2nd round. If i kena dunno-wad-roomie, i rather balek kampung. .... It was a potentially calamitous monday........Time check: 4.15amThe alarm clock was set at 10.30am. Exam next morning: 11.30am. Good. Flipping incessantly on his bed, he couldnt' fall asleep with. Certainly, afflicted with a bugging hungry stomach and equipped with 12hrs worth of zzz the night before didn't aid his cause. Finally, he decided to move his arse and gope his neighbour's nissin chicken flavoured noodles, albeit without his consent. He conveniently made himself some hot noodles and proceeded to the lounge for a chillout reading papers.Time check: 6.15amEverything was well and done, immensely satisfied. He switched off the lights and jumped onto his ever-comfy lil' bed. Out of the blue, there was an inexplicable urge to find out the duration of the exam. He took the pain and groped for the switch. With the lights on again, he squinted his eyes and checked the timetable. Hmm...1130.... AUs:2 ..... 1130..... Can't be.......0930-1130........ Tripped I need to wake up my idea. Maths isn't my forte anymore. Hello, it's not primary or secondary school anymore. You were sleeping and smoking through throughout. Yes, u managed to scrap an A somehow for prelims even w/o doing any of the tutorials yourself, but u know things aren't exactly going right anymore when u missed out an A for the actual battle. Yes, u didn't practise at all. Now it's the friggin U man, wake up!Hopefully for now, i still can savage some decent result for this ensuing battle. It's really a horrible feeling when u know the inevitable undesirable outcome even before the battle starts. I have no qualms drawing courage to face defeat at my own hands but it's tinge of sadness that ensues. Sucks. But hey, at least i know my game plan for the next battle and it's still not late to move on. It took me a year to understand the rules of the U game.Oh pertaining to previous post, i'm not referring to this ensuing battle owning me. Rather, i've been pawned by the SAO (Student Activities Office). Eh no, it's myself. LoL. My eyes failed me. But nvm, it's ok.U see, I went down to SAO with a friend after realising i've missed out on the hostel reapplication. It's obviously a desperate attempt. LoL. Anyway that friend needs a deferment letter to defer his July reservist training. Yea it sucks becos it means he would miss out FOC camp twice in a row. LoL. How unlucky can he get. Ok, digressed. I reached there and the kind staff told me 'no' flatly becos they have already processed it. Thought i still got chance becos she looked and sounded so friendly. It was but my own imagination. LoL.She did, however tell me there's 2nd round application in August and school commences on 7 August. Cheers, NTU students will have more time to nua this time. Anyway not getting a room now isn't a bad idea, i can taste wad's it like to be travelling to school everyday. Everyday? LoL, i dun think that would apply to me. So it's very fine, in fact, i may make it a 1-day work week ;). The rest of the week i can just nua at home. Day study & play with Ariel, night train .A with fuch & co. for competitions. Omg, sounds very very fine indeed =D Anyway, i still have 3 more yrs of engin and 2 yrs of PE PGDE (if successful according to plan) and that works out to be 10 semesters worth. Staying 1 semester at home for a change of life is perfectly fine. Er...my roomie kena some ah tiong then too bad lor o.0 OmG oh my god, i think i kena pwned big time this time. Phuck.GG alvin, there's no RR. o.0? It's really interesting to note that there are 2 kinds of people who have breakfast early in the morning like say 7.30am. The first category belongs to the ultra healthy people, who sleeps and wakes up early routinely. Such good habits are of cos hardly inculcated among the youngsters and are indeed a rare breed nowadays. In fact, i'm amused by this healthy lot =DThe next category, er no prizes for guessing correctly, belongs to the no sleep people. These people also would routinely have early morning breakfast, or should i call supper instead? Bemusing lot of people. Again, no prizes for guessing what they do at night.~~~~~~Something else interesting happened today. For the past couple of days, i kept noticing this couple of gals 'patronising' along my corridor stretch. This is something unusual because mostly gals who live the level above me would not take that route. They would usually take the set of stairs before going past my room. And i haven't seen them before and they speak with a Canadian slang (they are of chinese heritage), so i thought they probably bunk in with some friends the level above. But still weird, just sense something weird. Even my neighbour YD notices it and approaches me about this.YD: I think they're here to bio meVinh: Fat hope. They're mine. Get out.Not surprisingly, these 2 gals breezed past my room yet again. Easily recognisable with their thick angmoh slang. I super gian to know what the heck these 2 were up to and where the hell they were heading to, SO i moved my ass and stalked them, pretending to go to YD's room (since they're heading towards that direction anyway). Then wth, they stopped just outside our toilet and talked cock there! WTF? I stoned. I acted as natural as i could and turned into YD's room (smart ppl with smart beforehand plans you see). We were 2 like WTF to each other. Hahahhahaha. And guess what, they were actually looking for a neighbour the next door to YD! OMG. They went to hit on our dear neighbour KW! hahahhaha Ok not 2, it's actually only 1, the other 1 went off, but still good enough right *evil*No prizes yet again, for guessing what exactly ensued next. Sorry for the cold blanket. HEHSo there you go, vinh's hope was dashed instantenously. So sad right. HEH~~~~Recently i asked a namesake friend of mine, who's seriously being hooked on Maple (can u friggin believe it, it's friggin Maple, i can't) why he couldn't bear to quit the game.He told me: "My assets there are huge lei, cannot stop."Pengz x10. LOL. I was literally rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.Want to play game go play dota la! At least it's competitive and got tourneys. I likes many many.~~~~On a more solemn note, and precisely why i'm talking to myself on this blog, i very sian ji pua because my roomie has checked out his room (single deluxe is kinda shioks too) days ago and her is heading off to russia for some time. Whole of June gonna disappear into thin air, that's gonna be worse. But hey, i got .A man. 24/7 =) Good Morning For a moment i thought i'm living in some scandinavian country. It's 8+am now and speaking from their context, it would be just nice, though it'd still be abit late for bed. Unfortunately, i'm not. And I haven't turned in yet.Life is a paradox. Vinh is a paradox. When he got the chance to sleep, he doesn't grab it. When he's supposed to do some serious work, he either sneaks into his bed or fondles his mouse. He's obviously suffering from some serious sleep deprivation, because it makes no sense what he's writing right now. Only just, while he's showering, he heard the msn-contact-signing-in sound from within the bathroom. Apparently this guy is hallucinating and not in the best frame of mind. Given a pistol now, he would almost certainly outshine the one-eye dragon and become Singapore's very own two-eye serial killer.Oh, don't discount him being a serial rapist too. After revelations that a secondary school demands those with coloured bras to go bra-less as a form of capital punishment, he is extremely excited over the number of young fresh meat he can pounce on. But wait, which school is that? It's not written in the newspapers.I wonder who actually watch soccer till as late as i do. What to do, when Real Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona matches start at 3/5am sg time, i can only lan lan suck thumb or lppl. Personally disliking EPL progressively more, i've started catching La Liga matches again, all credits to my supreme unideal lifestyle. But i must say, it's really such an enjoyment to just nua on the sofa and indulge in soccer that i can't foresee forbidding myself from doing so. 2 games in a row, Real madrid and Barcelona, sibei song man. Will never fall asleep with Gaucho playing. Dunno Gaucho?? Ronaldinho la. Dunno still?? Ok nvm.Speaking of soccer, what the hell happen to my beloved Serie A?! I don't even think there's Serie A highlight now :(Alright, gotta have my breakfast. Cya later. Viva La Bam! Yours truly didn't really intend things to turn out the way it turns out now =D Didn't really, because right from the start, he saw the potential connection in them but of cos reserved his own lil bit of apprenhension. But with the notions of 'just making friends' and 'having good supper', things really couldn't go much wrong, could it? =) And hey, the company was really great that night, and it shalln't be the last yea =pBam! With things taking off at the speed of light, it's breathtaking for the neutral. Of cos, those 'in it' wouldn't know how fast it actually was/is (both tenses perfectly correct & applicable Haha), would they? =DSimply sensational stuff. Couldn't contain my delight =DYours truly must have done a damn good job you know ;)I'm such a moron. Albeit a good one ok! LoL. Damn! Are you being snapped by reality by now? Are you thinking to yourself "Oh Fuck! It's Sunday and there goes my term break just like that?! I haven't even done most of my things yet!!! T.T"Time check:3.45amDATE check: 26 FebDAY check: SUNDAYDamn! Lil' Ariel Boys & Gals, this is the reason why i have to admit i'm a paedophile =) (Omg! vinh is a paedophile!!! *Gasp*)Sad la! Usually only holidays or term breaks then got chance see her T.TEven she admitted she'd have to take a backseat, for now. Haha :pKAOBEI LA! Hail the Referee Alright, i'm still reeling from the Chelsea defeat by Barcelona ok. I can't accept the fact that John Terry scored a supremely unfortunate own goal. I can't accept that Barcelona actually scored a 2nd goal through Eto with a header. I can only accept the fact that Chelsea took the lead despite virtually playing with 10 men the entire match.I shall not speak in favour of Chelsea purely because i'm their fan but anyone who says that Messi was not playacting is blind. He shouldn't have friggin rolled several times on pitch to distort the extent of his 'pain' and draw the referee's sympathy. Think what? Rolling on your bed ar? And the referee himself is a cock la, making a couple of wrong decisions in the match. Ok. That Del Horno is also quite cb i tell you. That cock could have shattered Messi's left knee in an earlier challenge. He should have received a yellow in each foul. So does it mean he would receive 2 yellows and end result = red and be sent off still? N.O. Because he wouldn't have commited a 2nd reckless challenge. Who the hell would expect a red for that 'harmless' collision? I see the colour of the card already i wanna faint.Bottomline: Chelsea's ass was screwed real badly because the referee acted like a gal last night.KAOBEI LA! Happy Valentine's Day Happy Valentine's DaY to all my wonderful friends.This is a tribute to all those who have accomodated and tolerated my spastic, lunatic ways for the past days, weeks, months or years.Most importantly, this is dedicated to special someone.Have fun there =)KAOBEI LA! Small Talk vinh: Come bro, i show you some baby picrmie: where?vinh: www.youngparents.com.sg. very cute right?!!rmie: ok not bad, but i've seen better onesvinh: .... u can get this kind of baby i say u most lucky guy in the world le!....rmie: eh you cb paedophilic ar? ogle so long?!vinh: i'm a homo as wellKAOBEI LA! Vintage Vinh Fancy staying back friday night alone for the sake of preparing for saturday's physics quiz! What a classic case of $#@%^$%^$@!SO here i am, taking a breather at my very own chillout site, penning some thoughts down. Taking a breather? Er...in fact i haven't even started the engine yet! It's just me, 1 who always like to procrastinate whenever possible and is coincidentally supremely absent-minded. Nice combo there.Dunno why i especially like to come here whenever i'm obliged to study. Perhaps it's the loneliness? My roomie just left for home, so i'm here all alone by myself sucking up all the oxygen by myself. What a way to put it. Heh.Come to think about it, i can't imagine life in a single room. Do one talk to the walls at night before he sleeps? We always have painful nights to deal with from all the laughter. Sometimes, we even have to hang our legs up and bang the walls with our hands and legs to release the pain in the abdominal. LoL. It's horrible, all the noises that we made at 3-4am in the wee hours of morning. 1 semester later, our adjacent neighbours all move out. I think it's just a coincidence though. Lemme think...A roomie makes such a colossus difference in your stay at hostel. I really can't imagine myself accomodating a same room with a foreigner (with all due respect) or a NERD right from the start. I think i'll move out by now already. This is to pay tribute to my roomie man. At least it's less faggotic to say it through here where he doesn't come anyways than to say it straight to his face. HE DID. TO ME. IN PERSON. OMFG. How fucking gay is that?! I almost flinched into my original form (mouse). KNN. LOL.~~~~~~~Just last sunday there was a large scale event hosted by NTU Sports Club at sentosa. Thanks to ppl like tofu-dy and tofu-yeu jioing me, i had every chance of ogling at scantily-clad babes at the beach on a fine sunday morning. Well, here's a shot of the original tofu clique:3 of them are actually final-year students. That means they'll be pursuing a new phase in life soon after this final semester and, of cos i'm only gonna say here & not in person, that i'm gonna miss them. Holy shit, chilling me in the spine already...And it happens that quite a number of Fiftians turn up for the event, participating in different events. Here's a zhuai shot of the whole gang! Cool!This sweet couple managed to come in 4th overall despite starting from the last in the 3rd detail, beating even most of the participants from the 1st detail. Way to go, serena and jonnie! That is why he's my man!All in all, it was a superb hanging out at the beach on a, though not ideal, sunday morning-cum-afternoon. As our clique name suggested, we were smashed by other gungho and all-out-to-kill teams. Somehow, we smashed tofus managed to taste victory in our opening game. Pity that team, to lose to a team of tofus meant that they are probably a team of jellys. MuahhahahaIt was a pity my camera isn't in hall. Otherwise i would have captured shots of every single single babe out there. Nonetheless, there were plenty of oglings and 'zhu-ings' that after the whole trip on the way back hall, i became this state:My eyes need a rest you know ;)Oh shit, it's getting really late and time for me to dig the books baby. Those notes are pretty sick man :/---------------------- end of entry ------------------------And yea before i leave (if your name is not Alvin pls close your eyes),It's some obscene swedish words unsuitable for the minor. tata,KAOBEI LA!
