Hmm.. 31st Dec 04... 1 yr n 6 mths more be4 I ORD n stat my Uni life... haha... Full of happiness n dread at the same time...
The past 1 yr has seen quite a fair amt of change in me.. For better or worse, I dunno.. Hopefully, for better...
There had been things which I regret too.. And I suppose I can't do much to change them but to learn from them n live on..
NS has been quite a good exp to me thus far.. Good doesn't mean tt i'm happy.. juz tt I get to see n learn many stuffs.. from the ppl I meet to the many things tt I'm required to do.. These r lessons for me.. Also, as PA to Army RSM, I will learn more stuffs which will help me in future..
tt's abt all... haha... may have overlooked some details.. anyway, I dun have any resolution.. juz to be better n also read up more on different stuffs (so tt my brain won't get rusty in 2006)

Hey... I'm sure all of you have heard abt the tsunami waves..
As of now, abt 22000 ppl died.. Sux man.. Plus there may be a 2nd wave and an epidemic cuz of the contamination of water supplies...
Come to think abt it, they are not as well-to-do as countries like us.. However, they still have to face problems like this.. Life is so unfair....
Politicians raised the issue that they did not purchase a tsunami detector.. However, with the cost of tt equipment, how can they afford it? It wld be natural for anyone to refuse.. Plus I don't think tt it's a time to point fingers now.. More shld be done to help the ppl and to prepare for a 2nd wave...
Let's all pray to ur different gods for the ppl who r suffering right now.. N pray tt the situation will not be any worst...

I beginning to dislike christmas... haha... There's sth in the air which sets me in the stupid mood I had last Dec.. I suppose it's the idea i have tt christmas is more appropriately spent in the comfort of ur love-ones... Maybe it's cuz I tend to associate christmas with the cold lonely winter in other countries.. haha... kinda sucky...... Can't wait for christmas to be over man....
anyway, gg to Sharon's hse tml evening with Qin Yi, Qian Hui, Timo, Vincent n probably Sherman... n probably Jun Hong if we r staying at Sharon's place.. wld have planned to go maybe orchard for dinner n also to be in a crowd, hopefully to get away from this stupid mood... but oh well, they prefer to chill out at someone's hse... Hope tt I won't be moody tml....

Sux.. Went for jc clz gathering earlier this evening. Got tt sudden sense of loneliness again. So didn't really enjoy myself much.
However, juz when i'm beginning to enjoy myself more, it's ard 11. Hmm.. is it tt you'll grow to be more considerate as you grow older?
Back when I was in sec 4 and jc, I dun gif a damn and will stay out all night with my frenz. However, this is not the case today. I know for one thing, my mom wld probably be unable to slp well cuz I'm away the whole night. Thus I chose to go. A big part of me wanted so much to stay. Sux..
I hate this.
I feel really chained down. I really want to break free and forget abt everything and let loose. But all this stupid committments and stuffs are always there. In short, I juz wanna follow my heart. But I can't.
I really really hate this.

"If you do nothing because you feel that nothing would happen or change, you will end up doing LESS than nothing." Heard this while watching the anime, "Gundam Seed".
How many times have we all felt tt we cannot change anything and did not bother to make an attempt to do so? I believe I have done tt umpteen times. However, if we do believe and put in effort to do something, things might have been different. On the other hand, if we did nothing, things would still stay the same.

Hahaha.. Finally got myself away from maple story to blog. Gotta say this, loads of NS guys play this and lots of xiao mei mei plays too.. haha.. toked to quite a few xiao mei mei.. make me feel so old man.. haha..
Oh.. I've signed up with 2 tuition agencies. Hope tt they'll get back to me soon.. hop I can get at least a tuitee.. haha...
Anyway, heard abt 2 break-ups this week.. Both involve close frenz of mine. I'm rather sad for them. But the gd news is tt they r ok abt it. One of them had been together for 5 yrs..
This somehow reinforces my idea of remaining single. Cuz relationships at this pt of time won't last. It's a one in a million chance whereby they will. I feel tt this is cuz we still do not have an idea of wat we want in life.
Wat we want now will not be wat we want in future. The kinda gal I go for now may not be the kinda gal i'll go for in future. Plus the gal I like now may change to be someone else in future. In face of this, many r still unable to understand and show enough committment to stay. cuz the easy way is of course to leave. I'm quite sure tt i'll take the easy way out too...
In view of this, watz the pt of putting so much effort into a relationship when it might juz end the very next day? all the effort wld be gone to waste. haha.. I believe tt this kinda tot won't bring me far in the love life.. haha...

Haha.. Went for my physiotherapy appt today.. Kinda sian.. Spent 2 hrs learning to do stretching as my leg muscles are too tight.. To make thing worse, I have to go again next week.. Sian man.. I shall try to go only once a fortnight... haha...
Anyway, I bought doom 3(finally).. though my comp is slow in running it, I managed to play a bit be4 I gave up playing.. haha... realli fun in the sense tt the atmosphere makes u think tt a monster might juz jump out the next moment.. I really like this kinda games.. haha.. Like to scare myself.. but the main thing is, it really takes me away from my seat and become immersed in the game.. I like it... I oso like shows which does tt.. haha.. which is why i prefer to watch horror flicks(even though i'm kinda scared.. hahaha..

Haha.. 123 entries!! Nice number.. haha.. I remember staring my blog with the aid of Xin Ru on 27th Jan 04 (or rather I checked my very first entry.. hee..) .. Thanx, Xin Ru! It's gg to my blog's one yr anniversary soon... haha... Shall tink of changes to be made to my blog on 27/01/05.. haha..
Well.. I feel tt I'm a really lucky dude. My parents are always there to provide me with stuffs and care. My mom especially wld buy me clothes if I openly expressed tt I wanted it.. (although I'll be paiseh n not ask too much, the pt is I do ask) Now, they are oso providing for my driving lessons. I am really blessed to be in this family. For my dad, much as I do not like part of his character, I muz admit tt he really do care for me. My sis too! Sometimes, I really feel tt she treats me so much better than she treats her bf. I'm really thankful to be part of this family.
At this pt, I muz oso stress tt my parents dun buy me EVERYTHING I want. In fact, my mom never gave in to me when I was younger. She didn't let me buy everything I want. If tt were the case, I'll probably have a X-box, a mp3 player and blah blah blah by now.. but I don't and I already feel really blessed even without these items.. Haha.. Juz felt tt I shld dd a tribute to my family on my blog.. haha.. Although they won't be reading it, I'll pen it down here.. haha.. I tink, if they read my blog, I'll probably not write this down.. haha..

Haha.. I think that I have a particular liking for soft-shelled crabs. Everytime I look at the menu, I tend to look under the seafood section and try to find soft-shelled crabs. haha.. The thing is I kinda like amost all the soft-shelled crabs dishes, I have tried.
Those I have tried are:
1) Deep fried soft-shelled crab from Sakae Sushi (It was first inroduced to me there)
2) The only soft-shell crab dish in Cafe Cartel (dunno name but deep fried oso)
3) Spicy Soft-shelled crab with rice from Thai Express
4) Oso one from the Italian place at the basement of Paragon
Haha.. craze for soft-shelled crabs..
Anyway, I was in Orchard today and happened to be in Kinokuniya at ard 2. Guess wat? Fann Wong happened to be there to promote her book too. So I stayed and wait for her arrival to catch a glimpse of her. Afterall, it was rather a coincidence cuz I didn't know tt she'll be there today. haha.. Out of sheer wisdom (haha), I did not wait with the crowd at the table. I went to where I felt was the most likely arrival route and loitered ard. And I was right!! haha... I got a full look at her when she walked by. I ain't really impressed by her look. haha.. I think tt Jamie Yeo is better looking. haha...

Haha... Thanx for the reply, guys..
I feel tt the best fren part isn't given any importance when I 1st read the qn. I mean, so wat if he saved my life once? He doesn't need tt ride as badly as the old lady.
Thus my answer was to take the old lady. And forget abt tt gal.(haha.. Xin ru, sama sama)
However, the one person who got chosen, gave the answer Weili gave. haha.. That is to pass your car-key to your best friend and ask him/her to drive the old lady to the hospital. At the mean time, you'll be able to spend time with your dream gal/guy.
This is thinking out of the box. Haha...

Hmm... My boss was talking to his committee the other day during the meeting, ".. Our ppl must be taught to suspend their opinion and listen to what others have to say...."
I feel that what he said was correct but it's difficult to do it. I notice that many ppl are unable to do this. Juz 2 days ago, my aunt called to ask my mom which school to enlist her daughter to. When my mom told me this, my immediate and cynical reply was for my mom to save her breathe as ultimately, my aunt won't listen to her. In addition, from my own experience, it is very difficult to advise ppl to do otherwise once their opinions are set. I, myself have committed this umpteen times. I suppose it's human nature. I further led me to ponder why ppl still ask others for advice when this is the case. The only explanation I can come up with is tt ppl juz want a different voice so tt they can argue with and further convince themselves tt their initial decision was correct.
I shall make a mental note to suspend my judgement from now on.
I juz read this today. It's a qn found in a recruitment paper. Out of 200 candidates who did it, only one was chosen based on this qn. Here it goes:
Imagine:
It was raining VERY heavily and you were driving along the road in your 2-seated car. Along the way, you came by a bus-stop. In it, there were 3 ppl:
1) An old lady who is abt to die (don't ask me how u know, u juz know)
2) Your best fren who had saved your life once
3) The person you want to be with for the rest of ur life (ur dream gal/guy)
Since ur car is a 2-seater, u can only pick up one passenger. Who would you pick up?
Shall disclose the answer the next time I update...
