Big, Small and Beyond

2011-01-30T21:41:00.000-08:00

"Think big, think small and think beyond" That is the name for HP's new event coming this february... I'm now totally psyche about this event... There has been many speculations about what the event would cover and here I'm gonna give my own take on what actually is think big, think small and think beyond.

To think big: I believe that it can go two way... Think big as in think bigger in size (tablets) which is no surprise in any case there are already leaks, which I still believe are not leaks of the actual product. However, it could also mean to think bigger as in HP is gonna bring webOS to a bigger audience and wider base. With all the talk about scale that HP brings to Palm, I think we can expect wider audience to be able to get webOS hardware.

Think small: As in smaller in size as well? Sure, it has been said that HP would bring webOS into the smallest smartphone which is projected to be able to target the tweens of today. I dun pretend to be a tween but a small smartphone seems pretty interesting to me and I would definitely be interested to buy one if it actually comes to SG. However, small can also mean details. HP would be paying more attention into the smaller details and with ENYO (face) coming wouldnt tat be an interesting combination??

Last is to think beyond: Maybe because I'm selfish and I really really want a webOS phone but I'm keeping my fingers crossed about this particular one... To think beyond is to think beyond the shores of US or UK and bring to other countries (SINGAPORE PLEASE!!!). It also has to mean their ecosystem (a whole network of webOS phones working together? wouldn't that be great?!?!). In a world where I can go from using my phone to make toast to organising everything from my phone... I my now officially psyche about wad HP can bring with webOS.

Maybe I'm too forward looking that I am willing to sacrifice a few months to wait for something GREAT like webOS.. But this is the first time I can say that I have found the phone that I really really want!

New phone...

2010-11-29T06:15:00.000-08:00

Seriously considering to change my phone for sometime already AAAANNNNDDD... I found the almost perfect phone for me!!! Palm Pre 2!! or now that HP has bought over shld it be called HP Palm Pre 2?!?! Very long name... anyway... Unfortunately, I live in Singapore and seriously the telco here have the worse tastes in phones... the phones we have are all popular phones and nothing else... So here is me hoping that Palm actually brings it in... the website for Palm Singapore is still stuck at "introducing the webOS" with a picture of a pre 1 or pre minus as forum pple like to call it....

In any case, I have to wait for another 10 months or so to actually be able to change my plan... been itching for a data plan for the longest time now... soooooo.... still have to wait... in the meantime, I've been camping for pre updates....

Exercise

2010-08-27T09:08:00.001-07:00

SUPER long nvr blog le... updates updates...

STARCRAFT II is out~! At leas the first installation is... haha... Wings of Liberty... It contains all the terran missions and honestly, I couldn't care less... yet I have to play it all the same and I did... dl-ed it and played my hearts out... even though its like my 1st semester's finals... More about that later... I had like sooooo much fun with it that I had to play the protoss race and so I went on my quest to further find out how exactly to get the stupid map working... and finally... after weeks upon weeks of searching I found it in the most stupidest ways... I shall not further degrade myself but I'm finally playing it and I'm like so happy right now that even my brother's taunts did not bother me... wahahaha...

Okiez... Since its me... I have to talk about my studies... Been studying in SUNY for awhile alrdy... specifically 1 semester and 1 month... Been fun so far... Orientation was tiring but I met some really nice pple... Although we subsequently got separated into different classes we still see each other here and there... Meanwhile, I've been hanging out with my ESL classmates... very cool pple... had fun insulting them (like I always do... I have no idea why though...) and just goofing around... haha... Studies have been going great... I totally lurving Psychology... Its totally like I've been born for it.. haha... unfortunately my results were not as great as wad I was hoping for... Got B for Eng, B+ for Music, A- for Psychology and an A for maths... I mean seriously... wad kind of world is this... A for maths and B for english... I'm like wanting to kill myself alrdy and my friends said I did well... OMG la... maybe I'm a bit over melodramatic but hey... I'm hoping for the scholarship to go to US so I can have a holiday...

Oh ya... now the main point why I decided to update this blog... I EXERCISED 3 TIMES THIS WEEK~! ON MY OWN~~! This is totally cause for celebration... seriously... how many chances do I get to say that... haha... but in all seriousness... I plan to exercise at least 2 times a week starting last week... so far so good huh? But the pain comes next week when my school starts again... so I will have to see what happens then I guess... and I'm also considering working either these coming months or next year when my semester ends... I guess I have to see if I can cope with the school-load first...

Cooking Adventures Part 3

2010-05-05T01:35:00.001-07:00

Actually its not part 3 per say... but its the 3rd time I'm blogging about it so might as well la... Item up for bid today would be chocolate chip cookies. Cause I saw it would be the easier item to bake as compared to other baked goods so I'm giving it a shot.

Taste-wise its fine... like a cookie but a bit different in terms of texture. Maybe I'll try to shape it before cooking. I believe it might work better... Now to get some opinions on soft or hard cookies...

Next stop brownies...

Cooking Adventure Part 2

2010-04-17T06:40:00.000-07:00

Hah... tried to cook souffle today... Was quite ok with almost all the ingredients here, cept that I cannot find any cream in my local NTUC... So wad the hell... I tried to make it with a canned whipped single cream... So I started to make it... cooking was simple enough... But from wad I gather, the hardest part wasnt the cooking. But whats after that.

[EDIT]

Souffle is set for a night but still not firm. So I took it to freeze in my fridge.

Tested the souffle, taste-wise it was ok, not much I would change but texture wise I would need some more training... seeing as I havent grasp how to make it actually firm yet soft.

My Cooking Adventure Part 1

2010-04-05T04:55:00.000-07:00

My first time cooking since a long time...

This time, my quest to tackle my very own Achilles heel- baking. My first time killing my own promise to myself... but more of that another time... I tried to cook a farmhouse white bread. Which in my opinion is a kind of bread that Hansel and Gretel ate when they were going to the forest.

Made it in a rush this morning before going to pray for Qing Ming Festival. It was a total chance that I actually got the tools I needed to bake the bread on the very day. I was totally happy that I was going to cook again.

And... If I may say so myself, its quite a nicely made. I'll probably put up some snapshots after I get around to taking them.

[EDIT] I made a small mistake of making the bread... I kind of did not knead it well enough so that the bread is more thick rather than soft ( which it should be ).

Christmas around the corner

Its about time to get back to living my life after a long long break ----> due to some reason of serving the nation.

I just dun find it meaningful if I gain nothing from it... well at least this 1 year plus ( will reach 2 years in a few more months ) I have learnt some new things and seen things which I may never see if I din enlist... So all is not lost... like what many people say to go for long distances we need rest...

S/S Time

2009-05-16T07:49:00.000-07:00

Its the Spring/Summer Time~! So time for short and cool clothes... haha... I'm being bimbotic... Anyway, saw some nice clothes from this site.

Some of the clothes that I like are shown below...

Update Update

2009-05-02T08:38:00.001-07:00

Forgot to post that I had a really nice time going with some of me guys in army to nights out to Turf City and eat seafood... haha... Seemingly simple but its really nice since we never do that before... haha... Discovered that most of our people can actually sing..

Anyway... Today I went to Orchard for some shopping spree... and to my horror I discovered that Singaporeans are SO~ "Kay-Po" or should I say busybodies... I saw on the train towards City Hall and half-way through the journey, the poor woman started screaming at the top of her voice... I mean that its obviously at the top of her voice... since that I could hear her through my MP3... haha... its certainly loud... I wasnt paying any attention after that since my song was more interesting. Howeve, I saw the most amazing thing, everyone else in the cabin was all looking in the direction of the poor women.

Its weird how people want to know about other people when I'm sure they themselves have a lot of problems that they face themselves. Its weird when you think about it. Why do you want to deal with other people when they cannot even deal with themselves.

Colour Quiz

2009-03-27T02:17:00.000-07:00

Okiez... the other time I was like bored and stuff so I went and found this short yet oddly accurate quiz... Link here!

Okiez... anyway here's my result for today..

Existing Situation
Desperately needs a close relationship with an affectionate and accepting partner; or some other way to be recognized and known.

Stress Sources
"Looking to stand out in the crowd and wanting to keep his rank and status. His current situation is irritating him because he can't seem to find anybody out there who values the same high standards he does. He is feeling isolated and wants to give in to his carnal urges, but can't bring himself to appear weak in the eyes of others. Wants others to see his unique qualities and character but can't stand to come off as needy, so instead he has an ""I don't care"" attitude and pushing people away. He turns his back on those who criticizes his behavior, but beneath his indifference is a person who is in desperate need of approval."

My Restrained Characteristics
"Has high emotional expectations and desires to be the center of attention, which makes it difficult to find a satisfying relationship. His reserved, cautious nature makes him emotionally distant. "

Emotionally demanding and will involve himself in close relationships but won't get too involved or give too much of himself.

"Current situation makes him feel unable to prove himself, but tries to make the best of things."

Applies tough standards to his potential partner and demands an unrealistic perfection in his sex life.

Current situation is leaving him doubtful and cautions about becoming intimately involved with others.

My Desired Objective
Lives life to the fullest. Has a high energy level and is always on the go. He is very active and his actions often lead to success.

My actual problem
"Enjoys making new plans and goals, but needs to be respected and admired for the things he accomplishes."

Problem No. 2
"Is disappointed and let down, feels there is no point in making new goals as they will leave him feeling the same way. Looking for friendly, pleasant relationships with others, who will further develop his intellect. Feels his current relationships are empty and holding him back. Reacting with an intense desire to become involved in various activities aimed at achieving his goals."

Yupz... okiez la.. some yes some no... budden overall still quite accurate.. I mean its relatable to wad I'm experiencing now...

Poked

2009-03-27T02:03:00.000-07:00

Went to MA today... wahaha... super weird la... I mean I saw a lot of weird things today... 1st while waiting I saw 2 convicts going to MA also at the specialists... I mean they are pple also ma... so will get sick as well... and dun get me wrong... I dun hate them for what they did, whatever they did, I mean its all in the past and its not like you can change the past anyway...

Once my number was flashed on the screen, I went in the room and saw like 2 doctors inside. I was like " I'm screwed! " haha... I kinda dun like doctors.. Then the female doc was like introducting herself and the other doc to me... So I was like "uh huh..." Anyway... I told her my prob and she was like I'll do a check in ur nose with a cam and it costs 64 bucks for the whole thing... I was like ok..., thinking that it would be like put me on a reclining chair and all and bright lights to shine on me face kinda deal... den she called me to sit on another chair and plucked out the cam from nowhere... I was like WOW!!! then she went on to spray some thing in my nose to make it numb... it was like spraying water den I realised than my nose channel is like turning all soggy feeling... And went in the camera and it was I think to her speculations, all red and inflammed... then in went the camera to the other nostril... and I was like choked or smth... she saying its congested... I was like thinking arent u forcing it too hard??

And the meds she gave me is the same as the ones the poly gave me... tat means more nasal spray...

Twlight Series

2009-03-06T20:52:00.000-08:00

Ok... I was too lazy to post anything in the last few weeks. With all the things that I have to do and think about I guessed that I kind of neglected anything and everything around me. Now that things have kind of going back to place I guess I cannot leave my blog unattended anymore since I guess that some people are actually reading this. Not that I really mind if anyone do not read it anyway. Its kind of more like a record of my life and existence than anything else to me anyway, so its more of a "I do this thing for the sake of doing it kind of feeling".

Ok back to the real reason why I wanted to post this. I managed to finish reading the whole Twilight series and stuff so as promised in my previous post that I would gib my whole comment on the book and stuff. I'll try my best to not add any spoilers so as to allow people who actually want to give the book a try some sense of suspense.

About the 1st book: Twilight

The book is from the POV (point of view) of a girl who thinks too much and you can believe me when I say too much I do mean TOO much. I personally am a person who like to think a lot about life and stuff but she is a totally obsessed person who thinks a lot. Basically the whole book is about how she fell in love with a guy who happens to be a vampire ( how dreamy and unreal is that? ). Overall, its a teenage love romance kind of story that I would not actually read if not for my curious nature plus my idea of not letting things get half done no matter what. So anyway, I began reading the book and thought it was a good book to pass the time if u have nothing else to read.

2nd book: New Moon

The story continues. With Bella meeting another supernatural creature. Although, not hard to guess given the nature of the book being romance themed. Edward has a rival! Haha... typical right?? But in a way refreshing as the author shows the constant struggle between Bella and her new found relationship and her still hanging on relationship with Edward. An interesting book given the fact that the author emphasises so much on the relationships and how Bella struggles with herself which makes it more interesting as Bella tends to overthink things.

3rd book: Eclipse

Bella and Edward's relationship develops further and further and yet she still wants to get hold of her other relationship. If I was Edward, I would have literally killed the other guy out of jealousy. Budden its more of a teenage book so ya tat part wasnt there. Anyway this book talks a lot about how you cannot like 2 person at the same time and expect the guy you like to understand. Which I don't understand even though Edward said that he would understand if she chose the other guy over him. I would do the same thing as well but I certainly wun understand. Oh ya and another disaster strikes Bella with a whole gang of vampys trying to kill her.

4th book: Breaking dawn

Final book and lo behold, Bella goes and does smth more dangerous that I would never think of. Well, I can't say that the author's boring after I read this book though. A lot of fresh ideas in this book that I nvr thought before. Plus, she gets into more trouble than all the previous books added tgt. Forgive my use of abbreviations. Typing is trying on me. Back to topic, in the end alls well that ends well I guess. No surprises there though. Its a typical romance book afterall.

Side story: Midnight Sun Chapter 1

You can say this side story if my favourite of all that the author has written for the Twilight series. Wait, its the only side story. But my point is this, the chapter says a lot about the character Edward and after seeing it frm Bella's POV I think that readin this book makes the Twilight book more whole and I highly recommend this book. Or at least read the 1st chapter at least. I'm also waiting for the rest of the parts to come out. Seems promising, provided that the author does not kill it in the end. Not that there is much to kill. The ending is already known to almost the whole world by the time any of you actually read this post

Reaing the Twilight book really makes me think about love and romance. Plus the book that I just finished not long ago - Into the Labyrinth. And I quote from the latter " I was taught by the labyrinth to hate and not to love. " Which brings me to think, I wasnt really taught to love, just what is right and wrong wad to do and wad not to. You can say tat now, I'm afraid of relationships. I push away people whom I wanna be close to and hope that they stay away cause I'm afraid that they would nvr like the real me. Or that they would actually betray me in the end.

Vocab part 2

2009-02-16T16:40:00.000-08:00

I'm guessing this will take sometime so I'm be doin this in camp... haha... din wanna waste precious CV time at home to do this kind of thing. Anyway, its been a slow week and all... will say it when I actually can find the words to do so. On a side note, I've finished all 4 books of the Twilight series and seriously speakin, I cant find the need for all the hoo ha tat has been going around for these few weeks. I'm guessing the actor in the movie had a HUGE part to play adding to all the hoo ha tat has been happening. I have to say tat he looks delicious and all, this coming from me is quite a statement and for me to say this out loud will probably make my reputation go down the drain. haha... budden I oni say the truth ma... so Im ok with it.

I mean I dun discriminate between pple. My philosophy in life is tat pple are all different and tat we shld treat individual as he or she is and not make comparisons between. But I digress, the book series was not a bad read if u actually are bored but other than tat I doubt u would gain much insight on life, which I search for in books tat I read. I mean romance is one thing, the author emphasize a lot on the thoughts of the pple instead of the feelings which I was actually planning to read about instead of the usual I wanna read into your mind see what your thoughts are thingy.

Change

2009-01-16T23:27:00.001-08:00

CNY is coming soonz, and its like busy busy busy with all the preparations and stuffs. However, this year it feels totally different. Not to say that there are a few changes that had happened over the last few months, but it feels like this coming year smth is gonna happen that I fear. The feeling of dread is filling up the atmosphere around me and I'm like not feeling the best of moods nowadays. When im near pple I can act normally as I do and stuffs but the feeling is still there. Its like I cant do anything and I'm just waiting for it to happen.

Anyway, I realised tat coming into army, although I'm still horrified by the fact that I have to spend 2 years of my life in national service, its a fact and I cant change it so Ive learnt to accept it. However, I have learnt a lot of things from being in army and I dun mean the menial things like cleaning toilets and stuff. I mean I do help around the house and things liddat but Ive learnt more personal things like relations and dealing with pple. Also, I've managed to control my temper to a bear minimum although pple hu knew me before think tat my temper has been super good already. I mean besides the fact that I hate having to deal with pple in the mornings, I've managed to not flare up at other pple. And TATS a huge improvement on my part. Give and take.

In addition, I met loads of nice pple in army whom I can probably thank for the improvement in my temper. Just to name a few ; Kenneth, Swen, Arjun, Josh, Jin, Matt, Ben Tan, Steven, GJ and Hwee... I mean taking into consideration my temper in the past I would have flared up too many times to count at them. Esp since in army we always see each other and tat usually spells trouble for my temper. I also have to thank them for their constant help, encouragement and support for without it I probably would not have made it thru until now.

Anyway, nowadays, I've been reading quite a lot and I finishing the Twilight series. Which I did not find a super nice read. I mean I perfer fantasy rather than romance, and normally I would not have read it if not for the busybody part of me that was poking at me. Currently, I left the last book - Breaking Dawn - to completing the series and I have to admit tat the author has put in a lot of effort into it which is smth I could not do. Not to mention the lack of english capabilities and the fact that I cant describe things for nuts, expecially feelings, which I think I myself lack. Haha... I'm cold-blooded as my bro always says. Anyway, I think its a nice break from reading fantasy-genre books and although Twilight series has a bit of fantasy in it I still fancy my type of books. You know, the magic and stuff, probably in that world myself. Haha... last book to go. Since I have a weird habit of reading things all the way to the end I cant stop at Twilight although the genre is not to my taste. I'll post my opinion on the book when I actually finish the last book. Anyway, I have to comment that I really like the side book to the series. I mean I only read the 1st chapter and I actually fell in love with Edward ( dun mistake, I'm not gay, I just find that the way he thinks is so me-like tat its actually quite cute ).

Right.. and to end off I have to say that the weather is getting cold and that to you pple readin this post, which I realised just a moment ago that its freaking long and that its getting longer, pple pls do not fall sick due to the cold weather and all the CNY goodies. And I have to comment tat the cold weather is not helping my mood.

Story So Far Chapter 1 Part 1

2009-01-10T09:47:00.000-08:00

This is a fictional story. Any resemblances to anyone dead or alive is purely coincindental. There is also a song attached to the end of each part to listen to while you read. Please forgive me for any mistakes which I have made and I would appreciate it if you pointed them out to me. Comments are always welcome and I thank you in advance for them.

And in the darkest of all nights, he was dragged. Willingly or not nobody could ever know but as far as he was concerned, he was like a bird trapped in a cage and the only exit, lies within the solace of a reaper's blade. Muscles tensed and body hardened to the fact that he may never see another sunrise ever again. For the moment that one enters the cage, he is never allowed exit. Heaving heavily, he was dragged pass countless of cells, some of which used to contain signs of the living now lay barren, devoid of all activity. How each cell was differentiated from the next was not knowledge known to him, nor was he in any state to indulge in the luxury of thought.

Scars of the past left on his muscled back, evidence of what has just passed. Eyes devoid of emotions, legs too weak to carry him, arms still clenched as if the moment has not passed. Yet, he knew, he knew long before that this was his fate. Choice was not given to him. It was taken. Staring down, he noticed that he was no longer in motion. Though his legs never moved an inch he was constantly moving, at least, he was up until now. A sense of familiarity hit him. The cracks on the wall was etched deep into his memory, seeing it time and time again, he memorised every line every curve that was on the small piece of wall that he had, or at least believe he had. He crawled, back to a corner, eyeing every detail. Hoping he had missed something, something of utmost importance. The stool was where he left it - broken and on its side. The bucket which contained excrement was where he left it - full and with flies all over it. The smell of the cell was familiar; almost welcoming as though the prison itself was relieved to see me.

Cough Cough

"Carry on! What happened to him? Did he die in the prison?" Alan questioned eagerly.

"Yeah! Did he tell the truth of the bad wizard after he was tortured?" Jane continued to bombard the old storyteller.

"The story will continue tomorrow my dears. You three best be on your ways. Tonatiuh is almost at the end of his journey. Your parents must be worried sick." was all the answer the old storyteller gave.

True enough, the old storyteller was right. The shadows were lengthened and the town barely visible even from the hilltop. Behind the tree where we sat, the light was losing the battle, dwindling with each moment threatening to give up and lose the entire town to Metztli whom is said to punish bad children whom stay out in the dark of day. Probably an old wives tale to make children go back before the dark covers the skies.

I'm getting hungry, I better go back

I hope mom's cooked my favourite beef stew

"I think I'm going back home. I'm getting hungry" extorted Alan.

"Me too! I hope we have beef stew today!" Jane stood to leave excitedly.

"And what about you, young boy?" the storyteller asked, staring down at me with eyes that gleaned a silver tint. Blood "Don't you have a home to return to?" he continued. Eyes unblinking as if with each second his eyes bore deeper into my soul searching for an answer deep within.

Nobody would miss me at home. And it's the first house from the hill. I have plenty of time before supper comes.

"Still, it's not very nice if you would miss the start of it. I believe its turkey today." the old storyteller began again.

Admitting defeat, I stood up and began following the trail downhill. Having walked it umpteen times I had no problems even in the dark. Yet, the old man seems very intent on me leaving early, I began to wonder why. Turning my head, I heard a gust of wind pick up and there it was, empty like it was in the morning before he came. Astonished at the fact that he was gone even before I could 'say' my farewells, I hardly noticed that something was wrong until I was almost at the bottom of the hill. There was no other way down the hill except the path I took.

The smell of roasted turkey wafted through the air carried by the cool evening breeze. Without any doubt that the smell came from my place of residence. Home. I thought to myself was never a word I used to describe or call that place. Home was a place where you felt you belong to, a place where you felt at ease, away from the harsh life outside. However, that place was never anything close to warm or inviting. It was cold. A void if you may call it, I would abandon the place at the first moment if given the chance to.

Entering, I saw the said item on the table. Along with it a small plate of salad and some side to go with the turkey. Food was never a problem for me. Villagers provided me with food, out of pity or fear I never know, at least that's what I told myself. But I knew. More than anything I knew. They were afraid. I was an anomaly, an oddity that they avoided at all costs. In this village where parents brought up their children and taught them everything they knew, I without anyone to care for was a sore thumb to them. In exchange for food I was never to bother them or even speak with anyone, or at least they believe I could speak if I wanted to.

It has been long. Too long for me to remember when the last time I spoke was. Memories of speech was as clear as my vision, however, I've seem to have lost that ability since long ago. It was not a necessity that I require, it was more of a convenience that I spoke words. Or at least it used to be a convenience that I spoke words. I did not need words to get my 'words' across. I can delve into minds and they would understand me as if I spoke. It is, however, seemingly different as I remember hearing something once from a wise man that words were scarier than thoughts themselves. Thoughts are akin to a naked body. With nothing to cover itself, no protect of any kind. Words are akin to a warrior, armoured all the way down to his feet. Wielding a double-edged sword, he can do harm to people or himself.

The mind as it is, is more frail than an old woman. To destroy it or manipulate it was second nature to me. I could do it without a single flinch or blink. Where was the fun in that? No... I would need some of the villagers. Already they were frightened of me and often wondered why they bothered to feed me, yet, they could not stop nor disobey the command. Why don't we let him starve? Then our problems would be solved. Thoughts are a funny thing, people think it is harmless but they do not know that with each thought brings an entirely breed of monsters alive. More scary than those that they could ever imagine. Those outside the village wall would seem like puppies as compared to those they were created from their minds.

Finished the last morsel of food from the plate, I washed and dried it before leaving it out for the villager to take back his plate. Settling down, I began to allow my mind to float, carrying me away to scour the land. Most villagers were asleep by this time. Thoughts were less and this relaxed me, often, thoughts were ugly and that disgusted me on many levels. Rest was required if I was to maintain the connection I had with the villagers so I could remain in the village. I had to remain here.

She would come back for me. She promised.

Love For A Child - Jason Mraz

Vocab Lesson 101

2009-01-03T17:57:00.000-08:00

Okiez... since I was bored and plain erms whats that word? bored I guess... so there I was doin nothing when I saw a lot of hoo ha about Twilight. Watched the movie and read the book... Seemingly a normal teenage love story with just a bit of a twist. That the guy's a vampire. Ok. So I was more bored than that so I began to write out words that seems to me like a good wordplay. And as I know not many pple are fluent in the use of the English language or shld I say we are so accustomed to the use of Singlish in our everyday life that English seems like a second language to us. Anyway, I found a few words that I would like to record in my memory but as the forgetful person I am, I most probably wld have forgot abt it the moment I read past that line. So I wrote it down and even found the meaning for it so we can all learn together... OMG tat speech sounds so much like a teacher. Oh... and as a side note I was so bored doin duty that my mind came up with a story. Nothing fancy just a few characters put together in a futile attempt to fill my mind with something other than work. I'll piece it tgt and post it sometime soon. Just dun expect too much. I havent written anything else other than in my blog since God knows when, so, grammar and punctuation mistakes are bound to happen. Especially since those were never my forte even before I was enlisted into the army.

ANYWAY... here goes.

Hair Cut

2009-01-02T06:14:00.000-08:00

I cut my hair!!! Ok it may not seem as a big deal to most of you out there reading this but it is a great deal for me... I cant understand the need for a hair cut unless my hair actually gets in my way. I mean hey its a waste of time and effort to get something done when the moment the deed is done it immediately starts to undo itself. Slowly but surely it happens, unless of course you are balding but I shall not visit tat topic today... Nails I can understand. I mean what fun is there in having super long nails when it gets in the way of everything you do. Hair is just sitting there on the top of you head. Not as if it would bite or something right?

Maybe its just my rantings but I'm entitled to my own opinion on things aren't I? And dont think that I feel that having a hairstyle is a bad idea. I think its cool if u are like gg to put your hair to good use and beautify urself or smth with it, I have no problems with that. However, hair for me is just sitting there so I cant understand the need for me to get a haircut unless it really screams to me that I need one. Or the fact that I'm bothered by it constantly by others.

KL trip part 2

2009-01-01T10:07:00.000-08:00

EDITED POST

Okiez... Im guessin there will be a part 3, 4, 5 and probably a 6 cause I cant keep up fast enuf with the pictures given the procrastination that matches my laziness.

Oh ya... Impt pics... haha... our rooms.. and the decor of the hotel.

Anyway...continue-ing from where we left off we went to a place called Lot 10... I think mostly for the kick of having a shoppin centre named as such.

Too bad it wasnt smth interesting. Although the Jackie Chan's bar did earn a 2nd look. Other than that there wasnt anything special inside... Nxt stop, Pavillion, the supposed Paragon of KL. They even had a huge Christmas Tree in front of the place.

Ok... I cant remember the order of things anymore so I'm just gonna give a wack in the dark. Anyway... in there got a Restaurant named Rain Nudle House ( What a great way to name your noodle... Nudle... simple short and sounds the same ) Service was great too... Same goes for the food which was surprising delectable.

Not to mention some cam-whorring all around... from the pay phones to the toilets... God... that was embarrassing...

Deserts was served at Baskin Robbins.. as per Josh's request he said S'pore used to have. I have bad memory so pls dun blame me for not knowin suchs things... the oni thing I remember frm way back is like A&W. And Josh being the "Da Ge" of the gang went to buy although I was the oldest there. Or was it cause I asked him and Toon to choose the thing... Hmmm... bad memory :p Either way... Desert was served!

Breakfast!! Haha... my fave meal of the day when overseas... Not so much when I'm in S'pore though... prolly cause I dun like wakin up in the mornin to eat it. I hate mornings...But excuses are when I'm overseas... So as to not shock pple as to the amt of food I actually ate in the morning over there I did not take pics of the food there... If u are really interested u can ask me... I may decide to tell u...

Wow... this post is getting longer and longer... Anyway... another highlight of the trip there is Sunway Lagoon... Fun but I for one think that the time there was a bit too short for enjoyment. Trip there wasnt tat long... but in a mini bus I couldnt help but feel a bit claustrophobic. I look fat in the pics.. OMG!!! How will I face the world?!?!?!?!

Too many pictures.... moving on... We proceeded to go to Chinatown which we thought we tould at least get to buy smth cheaper and at a bargain since all we have been gg to are shopping malls. BAD IDEA! Nevertheless, we did get to expercience a lot of things such as taking the monorail.

Trip Back to S'pore was a bit uneventful. So I shall not say anything... haha... After 2 mornings of pestering Josh to wake up at my convenience I shall not disturb his meeting with the Z monster no more...

For the pictures please visit this link here to see the pictures.

KL trip

2009-01-01T05:51:00.000-08:00

Wahaha... finally got all the pictures uploaded into photobucket... Wahaha... its such a pain in the ass to get it all inside.. Was a very nice experience to go overseas with Josh, Toon and GJ... Had loads of fun there... Sharing a room with Josh... Goin to Sunway and kenna splashed water by Toon... Cam-whorring everywhere we went... Taking the taxi, LRT and lastly the Monorail just to get back to our hotel tat side... Eating food from all different countries... Were some of the many experiences tat I had there... haha... super super fun la... esp since Josh was there... Hee hee hee... having share the same room as him... bring me back to SI period when we are in the same bunk...

We'll here are the photos... at least some of it...

Album

First Stop... Fish Island... haha... kiddng... its just a stopover before we actually reach our destination.. Which means its a fraking tourist trap... But hey... thats wad being overseas is all about rite??

I seriously love the chair tat I sat on towards KL... ITS A MASSAGE CHAIR... haha... It went brrooommmm brrrooommm all the way frm M'sia Checkpoint ALLL the way till KL.. haha...

Den we reach our room

And ate dinner at their fast food there... They even sell baked potatoes in their fast food... How cool is that?!? I love my potatoes... But dun try the fries... Its potentially Hypertension causing...

I guess I shld not spam all the pics... This shall be it for now

Personality Tests

2008-12-31T18:43:00.000-08:00

I have no ideas as to why I like to do personality test and the such. It always intrigues me as to the way how it bases its results to certain qns to determine your character and such. To the extent that a simple qns of "When is your birthday?" and it can quickly determine what kind of person you are. As to how the mechanics work, I can give a million guesses one more unlikely than the other. However, I've never stop liking to do these tests and would most certainly gib more information shld I chance across some.

In the meantime, I'll post some results of test which I've done recently. Not that anybody cares, but for my own entertainment.

Funny Website's Personality Test
Score: 42

Personality: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

Funny Website's The Tree Test
MAPLE TREE (Independence of Mind): no ordinary person, full of imagination and riginality, shy and reserved, ambitious, proud, self-confident, hungers for new experiences, sometimes nervous, has many complexities, good memory, learns easily, complicated love life, wants to impress.

New Year

2008-12-31T18:28:00.000-08:00

Hwee~! Time passed and its the NEW YEAR!!! 2009!!! May everyone's wishes and dreams come true this new year and beacons great things to come!!!

2008 has been a fun year with its own ups and downs and lefts and rights. But I'm glad I lived thru it from going to SI to 8 Signal Bn. Learning things and meeting pple. Some I forge strong bonds with and others whom have made an impact on my life and will be dearly remembered ( For as long as I can remember them, you have to forgive my SUPER bad memory which probably wun just change in the brand new year ). Everyday in 2008 was a great memory for me and will be etched in my heart for years to come. SISPEC POP. Leaving my buddy, Kenneth for Signals. Coming to SI meeting Chong and Wen Nan again. Forged great bonds with Matt, Josh, Jin. SI POP. Go into 8 Sig Bn. Met and had loads of fun and laughter with Ben Tan. Balcony talks with a lot of pple. OC wedding. My unfortunate bday in camp which turned out fun in a way. Ben Tan ORD. My own outing with Josh and Jin. Overseas trip with Josh, Toon and GJ. Too many events and so little space to write it in ( more likely tat I'm lazy to write it in. ).

Anyway... 2009 would be a fresh start! A new coming! My ORD ( a very far fetched idea )! Time to take charge and make decisions on my own!

BORED OUTTA MY MIND

2008-12-28T23:20:00.000-08:00

I cant believe that I'm blogging here in camp... but here I am...And to say the truth... I'm going to be out of my mind soon if I stay here any longer... Not mentioning that I have duties to do in camp... But seriously, I think the reason why there is no excitement here is that there is practically nobody left here... haha... All taking the chance to spend their off and leaves.. and to say the truth... I would rather be out there in the CV world than in camp...

Personally, I have tonnes of things to do... But as the usual me, procrastination sets in and I'm behind time in the things that I have to do once again. Not that its surprising to me since that's already set in stone. Seeing time trickle away seems like a past-time right now... just blindly seeing life pass me as I get stuck here... its like I'm sucked into an alternate dimension where time stops and I cant move on.

AND I MADE A NEW YEAR RESOLUTION ONCE AGAIN!!! Feels kinda nostalgic making new year resolutions. Since due to my nature of being lazy I never get the new year resolution fulfilled. However, I have pledge myself that I would try to do exercises at least 3 times a week. Even after my ORD ( which unfortunately wun come anytime soon ). Nevertheless, it would stop me. I would try to at least get this done and hopefully I would lose some flab. Funny nobody believes me when I say that I'm fat... I wonder why...

Outing on the 17th Dec

2008-12-17T06:17:00.000-08:00

Music and the lyrics

2008-11-30T07:07:00.000-08:00

I watched the movie Music and the lyrics only just recently... haha... I dunno why but when Drew Barrymore acts in a film or smth I tend to watch it... haha... call me siao but maybe cause me name's inside... haha... Im crazy I noe... budden I really like the song inside... esp the Pop's song... yes... the band's name is Pop... ANYWAY... here is the lyrics for the song... can also be found here

Song title: Way Back Into Love
Singers : Hugh Grant And Haley Bennett

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past
I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Went out on Sat with GuanJun, Toon, Ben and Josh joined us afterwards towards the night for dinner... Was damn fun to go out with dem... cause it was actually a shopping trip for us... budden I ended up not buying anything... haha... from toon's blog he quite irate at the fact tat I din buy anything... Budden cannot say its my fault ma... I mean I din see anything tat caught my attention, people buy items via feeling 1... So I din buy anything on tat day lo... To top it off I was late when meeting them. :P So Paiseh la... but lucky I wasnt the oni 1 late... haha... Im such a bitch when meeting people... always makin people wait for me... Anyway we went from VivoCity in the afternoon ( cause me and gj booked out oni in the mornin ) and den to Orchard where we shopped in Taka and den Far East Plaza and finally went to MS for dinner where we were joined by Josh.

Den found out he oni booking out at night or even maybe not bookin out at all... Was a bit sadz when he said tat la... budden din give it much thought..

MPH booksale

2008-11-15T05:07:00.000-08:00

Went to MPH book sale with me bro today... was hopin to find at least the last book of the death gate cycle tat im still missing or at least Robert Jordan's wheel of time book 2 onwards... sadly... I found neither... Budden again... I bought quite a few books there, namely, The Da Vinci Code, Ripley's Game, The treatment and Salem Witch Trials... Haha... lookin forward to reading them...

Place was a mess... with books all around and children going through the books as if they were toys and the adults not even trying to stop them... I was wondering what happened to "Care for me, I'm just a book". People are just too self-centered these days to care about anyone or anything else... If this is the way the new generation is gonna be I'd rather remain stagnant forever... Wa... emo sia... haha... so unlike me... Haha... if only tat was the one bad experience I had tat day... Went to Expo via MRT and had another bad experience, as usual with the people who are on the platform. People rushing in without letting anyone alight 1st... I mean like how do you expect to get on the MRT if nobody gets off it first?

GAWD... PEOPLE!! GET SOME SENSE OF COURTESY!!!

Lucky for me... My fam is not the kind to actually rush for fairs such as the food festival which was just beside the MPH sale... haha... I actually thank god for their perfect timing of having it during the MPH sale period... otherwise I would have died just trying to enter the hall which the sale was situated at. Looking at the amount of food tat the people buy I cant help but wonder how are they supposed to finish all those food??

Curry Puffs

2008-11-10T21:50:00.000-08:00

Lolz... my mom's bday and she wanted to make curry puffs... haha... Weird huh?? Wad to do... I have to make it with her... (Yes, I do know how to cook.) Haha.. was really fun la... going to buy ingredients and finding the recipe and den finally making the whole thing and seeing it come out very nice...

From the dough

Add the filling

Before cooking... take a few photos

After cooking it

Haha... after all done... discovered that we forgot to add in eggs... Oh wells...

Zara

2008-11-10T04:23:00.000-08:00

Wahaha... I better not go into another Zara shop until the nxt season comes... I was supposed to be lookin for my mother's Bday gift when I chanced upon a Zara shop in Taka... Totally forgot there was one there and being a Zara whore... I walked in forgetting my main objective for going out today... Once inside... I zoomed into this bag which I have been wantin for some time already... nxt thing I know I was out of the shop with a Zara bag and a tee shirt would have been 2 if the other one din have a picture of a snake ( I HATE snakes )...

Anyway... was shopping all around town just trying to find a bag for my mother and den I had the weirdest inclination to step into Paragon... There I found my mother's bag which was damn weird cause Paragon is the last place I would expect myself to look for a bag even if its for my mom... haha... Anyway... went home happy that I got myself and my mom a bag...

And its official... I'm broke...

Haha... just discovered tat having leave during weekdays is such a nice feeling... You get to see shows that I never get to see if it was a normal day... Haha... watched desperate housewives and amazing race...

Its funny as I never thought tat desperate housewives would have lasted so long as a show... there I was thinking tat it was a show that was just watch and forget like a lot of these shows.. Watching it again after missing a lot of episodes in between I found out that it may actually be an interesting show thats worth watching...

And about amazing race... its such a weird show... this episode they have people running all around new and old delhi... the only reason that I watch the show is that it shows places of interest all around the world without me leaving the comfort of my house...

Song: Lucky
Singer: Jason Mraz feat. Colbie Caillat
Lyrics: http://www.metrolyrics.com/lucky-lyrics-jason-mraz.html

Do you hear me,
Talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Pink - Who Knew

2008-10-30T08:00:00.000-07:00

Singer: Pink
Lyrics: lyrics007

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
cause you said forever
and ever
who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you a friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah

I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
(Until we)
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew

My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew

They went out again and started to light the candles again... haha...

Happy 43th National Day!!

Although that wad I would like to say... but im not the kind of person who love his country so much that I would say such a thing... But... I dun actually hate my country... I dun like parades which are repeated over and over again.. Its getting boring... and after watching it again and again for a few years Ive totally grown old of the parade...

Worse National day until now I think... went for a not so good dinner at a really weird restaurant... and I cant keep my mind off the fact that my duty is postponed to another day...

Oral class

2005-04-20T04:11:00.000-07:00

Just came back from English Oral class and it was quite fun and lame as well... We were split into 2 grps and we have diff timing so i was actually in the 3.30pm grp but we swapped and went at 5pm... So I, Roo and Jem went to eat at mac in downtown... then, at 5 we went there and found out tat we were the oni 2 pple left in oral class cause some went at 3.30 again... So we met Jean who was quite soft spoken and dun talk tat loudly as compared to Grace who was much more daring and out spoken... I found out that i could speak better and more openly in smaller groups and with Jean than Grace... maybe cause i dun talk tat much either too... So at 5 the 2 gals frm GG came in... and then WJ came in too and sat beside me... the 2 GG gals keep asking me to say the things Jean asked as if i know everything sia and even told her tat I was the top N lvl boi last yr... Wad does tat have 2 do with oral class sia? At the end of the lesson she gave ur chocolates to eat and it was quite nice too...

NAFA

2005-04-15T04:14:00.000-07:00

2day got NAFA test... actually dun wanna go 1 but cause got some pple persuade me to go so i decided to go as well... if not i might not go as well... Come to think of it i nvr wanted to go to any NAFA test in the first place...
Anyone who knows me shld noe tat im not vv active or wadsoeva so i dun really like anything such physical tests( sts )...Well... as usual i dun think i passed or anything... but i dun really care lorz...this year im turning into a procrastinator ( correct sp or not ar? ).... Hopefully there will always be friends who can stop me from running away and face my problems...
Hate wilson sia... i running for shuttle run halfway say wad? Who i like sia? Still say textbook... what the hell sia... as if i study everyday sia... To tell u the truth i hate studying and revision all these things...I guess i just have too much time on my hands to be doin anything but study right? tats y i can do better... if u wanna noe y i can do so well just look at urself and see wads inside of u... to do anything good u have to look at urself and see wad u see inside of u...

Dunno how many pple will understand this though...

Hold nothing.
When you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha.
When you meet your father, kill your father.
Do not allow yourself to be bound by anything.
Free yourself from everything.
Live yourself from everything.

Getu Mei Huu Ei

2005-03-28T01:16:00.000-08:00

How far does the moonlight reach?
And how far the sea?
Sleep now, silver tenderness...
In the center of memory, I have kept searching
For a person's warmth, in the lonely rain
Though this body rots away, do not doubt I will keep running
To the end of that world, until I reach the rainbow
The sands of time are being counted, and what more do I know?
In the middle of a false dream, the words were lost
A shaky look, at the center of flame
Till when, how long, lasts the vow of the heart?
May this prayer be heard, as it rises above the deep wheel track
At the end of this world, I will still protect my vow
Though this body rots away, do not doubt I will keep running
To the end of that world, Until I reach the rainbow
May this prayer be heard, as it rises above the deep wheel track
At the end of this world, I will still protect my vow
