JuSt AnOtHeR RaiNy DaY.. 

it has been raining for 7 continuous days..
trapping me inside my cosy capsule most
of the time.. not much thing had done during
this few days of leave.. defeat some of the
purpose of taking my leave.. make achieve
the primary.. rest.. a.k.a slack @ home..
hahahaha..

Stepping out of my house in always a dread..
Coz, it means haf to spend money.. haiz..
Went to Bukit Batok Driving Cente.. booked my
Final Theory Test.. 16th Feb.. hopefully can
pass this time.. already lost count of how
many time i have failed it.. either the questions
are tricky, or i'm a plain idiot.. hahaha.. :p

Got myself drenched.. lazy to bring an umbrella
along.. hehe.. always prefer to walk around
with both my hand free from things.. unless
due to certain circumstances..

time really flies.. Friday liao.. another ktv
session awaits in the evening.. haha..
i sing?? nah.. i seldom.. usually just sit
there.. listen to all the serenading voices
singing.. or those eardrum torturing shrieks..
*opps* shouldn't laugh at others when i,
myself isn't a good singer..

going back to work on coming Tuesday..
dunno wat awaits me when i get back..
hopefully is more slacking session than
more jobs.. haha... slack by nature...
pray hard.. pray hard..

Weekend ar.. Weekend...
what to do during this weekend??
the question i've always ask myself when it's
drawing near.. and most of the time.. i find
myself wandering at home.. good boy hor??
haha.. too old to associate the word "boy"
with me liao... going to reach a quarter century in
exactly 6 months time.. miss my schooling days..
all the crazy stuffs we had done during our
"blur blur gong gong" days.. Maybe one of these
days, can write about it.. which is maybe only..
hahaha.. my 3 minutes of enthusiasm... :p

Slack.. slack for another 2 - 3 months.. then haf
to start planning my future.. wat future?
my future after NS loh.. goin ORD in June liao..
some envy that i'm goin ORD soon.. issit really soon??
while i envy my friend who is goin ROD soon.. damn lucky..
Envy is a sin.. do less.. do less..
classified in one of the seven Sins ba.. forget liao..
only remember "Gluttony" and "Sloth"
coz this two are very related to my personality..
can't really differentiate whether i'm conquering them over..
or they conquering me.. Hey! Waistline.. Watch Out!!! hahaha..
yah.. my waistline.. still ok lah.. only that my tummy is
coming out too often.. Go In! Go In! Go In!

hmm.. most probably will be waking up late again..
haf to give BodyWorld a miss.. some many factors
stopping me.. mainly is laziness..
not forgetting weather.. distance.. entrance fee..
finding excuses to cover up myself again.. hehe..

It starts with one thing.. i dunno why....
it doesn't even matter how hard you try..

WiNgs... 

Angel
You are one of the few out there whose wings are
truly ANGELIC. Selfless, powerful, and
divine, you are one blessed with a certain
cosmic grace. You are unequalled in
peacefulness, love, and beauty. As a Being of
Light your wings are massive and a soft white
or silver. Countless feathers grace them and
radiate the light within you for all the world
to see. You are a defender, protector, and
caretaker. Comforter of the weak and forgiver
of the wrong, chances are you are taken
advantage of once in awhile, maybe quite often.
But your innocence and wisdom sees the good in
everyone and so this mistreatment does not make
you colder. Merciful to the extreme, you will
try to help misguided souls find themselves and
peace. However not all Angelics allow
themselves to be gotten the better of - the
Seraphim for example will be driven to fighting
for the sake of Justice and protection of those
less powerful. Congratulations - and don't ever
change - the world needs more people like you.

i'M bAcK WriTiNG rUbBisH aGaiN.. 

finally got a new skin for my blog liao..
hahaha.. quite satisfy with the result..
especially with my limited knowledge
with all these programming stuffs..

many many days since i can seriously
sit down here to blog.. what am i
doing lately? busy?
No.. i've been slacking around..
hahaha.. true.. now on leave..
only be back to camp on 3rd Feb..
Chinese New Year have 15 days..
so i celebrate all 15 days too... :p
actually the main reason is to give
myself a rest lah.. have been working
since i got back from Thailand..
even machines need to stop for
servicing.. i'm only a human..

Chinese New Year..
everyone welcome this special
occasion.. moods uplifted..
for me.. it's just like spending another
day.. only have to go some house
visiting.. less shops operating.. etc..
maybe it's becoz my family members
are not that excited over it..
find it quite good this way too..
like this type of peace.. don't really
need to listen to many others giving
comments to me or anyone from my
family..
"Aiyoh.. Ah Tat ar.. when you goin to
find a girlfriend?? How come you still
serving NS??"

after such comments.. all thanks to their
amplified mouth.. my poor little ears will
be torment by my naggy mother.. hahaha..
kind of use to it.. immune actually..

weather had been quite cooling this couple
of days.. although it encourage me to laze
around at home more.. but it hinder me from
doing the things i want to do.. still haven't
book my Advance Theory Test.. have to
book tomorrow.. meeting "Condor"..
hahaha.. my poly mate.. good friend..
is good fren.. not "good" friend..
there's some different about this two terms..
hahaha.. only the few of us will know..

did something great on the 24th Jan..
went to help out with a Resident Committee..
they were organising a dinner for the mentally
disabled and elderly.. to celebrate the Chinese
New Year.. to let them have a taste of this joyous
occasion.. got to know this event through a friend..
since i have nothing to do on that day.. so i join
the 3 of them to help out.. our task is quite simple..
jus to serve foods to the table.. i was appointed
to this table.. for elderlies.. there are 4 of them..
all wheelchair bound.. each having an assistant
with them.. which none are Singaporean...
Where are they? hmm.. in this materialistic society..
it's hard to persuade them to join such organisation..
even i myself.. would not consider.. don't need to ask
me why.. ask yourself... would you?
anyway, the feeling was great after the whole activity
ended.. watching them leave the venue with smile in
their face.. and the "Thank You" that had mention..
it really lid up one's heart.. which money can't buy..
the organiser had invite us to help out in April..
they are organising one more.. i'm still considering..
any takers?? hahaha..

wah.. unknowingly.. write so much already..
better stop.. i'll post again soon..
hopefully the server won't get cranky again..
Cya!

tHe DaY iT RaiN fOrEvEr 

What will happen when this day really come?
What is the first thing you will want to do?

Me? Well, it will be the day i'll try to swim
forever.. hahaha..
That's me.. always trying to make something
crude out from anything.. whenever i'm this
little bit of crazy.. some might find me lame..
but i'm just like this.. take it.. or leave it..

sound so confident from one who ain't..
hahaha..

yesh.. i'm back again.. after..
(let me count..)
six days without logging in to write another
of my nonsensical post... what had happen??

from my last posting.. can see that i got
myself into a rough time..
but now, i've already gotten over it..
can't let myself degrading all the time..
am i right?? :)
have to make a firm decision fast..
so.. i choose to give up..
it always feel so much better when there
is a decision made..
at least no more draggy business..

rain rain.. everyday also rain..
looks like it will only stop after Chinese
New Year.. believe me.. the first day of
the new year definitely rain.. hahaha..
so, bring your umbrella along when go for
visits.. this prediction is very accurate..

how have my New Year shopping go so
far? got myself a pair of jeans, a pair of
track shoe and a jersey..
(not a shirt n pants person..)
always get something casual and relax..
but that already cost me a bomb..
S$300 plus!!!!!
even some of my female friends can't
believe it.. but i still can't get the white
New Zealand "All Blacks" Adidas jersey..
seems like they went out of stock..
or cease production already..
though they lose out the World Cup..
but still their design is nice..
hopefully i can find it during my one
week break.. gonna indulge myself
with more sleeps and some jogging
to prepare myself for an upcoming
running event on February..
don't think will have much programmes
during this period of time.. most of my
friends are working.. don't think they
will be free.. perhaps, i could try going
city alone during one of those days
to walk about... hopefully i will have
enough determination to control myself
from spending so much for so little stuffs
again.. hahaha..

hmm.. looks like another typical long
blog of mine again... gonna stop..
TaKe CaRE foLks!!!

StuPidiTy fAcToRs 

why have i choose this topic today?
well, i did something wrong.
all cause by my own nature..

it all begins quite some time ago..
got to know this gal through MIRC..
begin to chat with her quite often.
sharing her woes and joys..
unknowingly, i'm attracted to her..
as in character.. unbelievable right?
but it's true.. i'm someone who get
attracted to another person by one's
bore character easily.. don't ask me
why.. it just happen..
(this is also the same reason how i
get into my first ever relationship
many years ago
)

okay, let's continue..
attracted to her..
i tried many times to ask her..
everytime, it is like so near, yet so
far.. always something crops up in
between.. nobodys at fault..
just that the timing isn't right..

recently, after came back from my
oversea trip.. we get back to our
frequent chats again.. and also
met up.. things proceed one after
another.. i express myself.. she
seems a little hesitate about the
whole thing..

in one of our meeting.. we were
talking about relationship.. she
use examples to describe about
some things.. which i will not get
into details with it.. from the
conversation, i could sense that
both of us are like a world apart..
although we may have this little
feeling for one another..

think it's my naivity.. i keep holding
this thought that everything will
be put in place if i do my upmost
best in everything.. hardworks
indeed reap rewards.. but i ruin
it with my own hand..

details about what i did..
i do not wish to disclose..
my own stupidity destroys me..
i do not know whether what awaits
me tomorrow.. future..
i do not know if she will ever forgive
me.. ever pop in to read this..
i know.. no matter how much "sorry"
i can say.. how much explanation
i try to make.. it's too late..

so, i'm prepared.. in any case you
still can't forgive me.. i'm ready to
let it go.. easy? never easy.. but
do i have a choice? it's better to
suffer for some time.. than to let
the whole thing keeps dragging..
only to hurt both of us more..

whatever decision you have
decided.. i'll respect it anyway..

Thousands of sorrys,
can't change a mistake made.
A single mistake,
easily created thousands scars.

SoMetHiNG fRoM mAiLs 

Got this mail from someone..
should be my sister's friend..
find it interesting and meaningful..
enjoy..

A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked
up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and
proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full?
They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles
and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the
golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and
poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He
asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with an unanimous "Yes."

The professor then produced two mugs of coffee from
under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar,
effectively filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
"I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things, be it your family,
your health, your children, your friends, your favorite passions.
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained,
your life would still be full."

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job,
your house, your car. The sand is everything else,
the small stuff."
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued,
"there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and
energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the
things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things
that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal.

"Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee
represented. The professor smiled.
"I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter
how full your life may seem, there's always room for a
couple cups of coffee."

So spend sometime and give your friend a pat on the shoulder or give
your loved ones a kiss...

ChAnGeS 

Been quite some times..
quite busy lately.. with my works..
with my friends..
finally the most tedious days are gone..
all my current jobs are complete..
gonna say goodbye to overtime!!!!

it has been more than a month since i'm back..
seems like time is going in quite a slow pace..
been chatting with many friends i've miss
contacting when i'm away..
receive some feedback.. which one i found
quite contradicting.. Changes..

how much have i change?
i couldn't measured it myself..
only through what you people told me..
the most common one that i've been
receiving.. should be that i've meadow
down.. must be wondering what it means
right? hahaha.. i'll try my best to explain..

some times before.. me.. still into
occasional clubbing and drinking..
late nights.. ear deafening Technos..
half conscious mind.. welcome by headaches
and nothing else when i wake up on weekends..
been an occasional clubber.. it's enough to
burn a hole on my wallet.. i'm neither well off..
nor having a job at that period of time.. only
after a certain incident.. that i sober a little,
then i get myself a part-time job.. but
partying just did not stop there..

the dramatic changes that taken place..
is when i'm in Thailand..
the true force that determine me to make such
a decision is LONELINESS..
only through that lengthly 14 months..
i cut down my alcohol consumption..
only at that period of time.. i've been truly awake..

starts to hate the feeling of waking up the
next day.. with only headaches and sore throats
accompany me.. starts to reason with myself..
does alcohol makes me happier??
my answer? No.. well, it indeed makes one
look like happier.. but in fact.. i found that it
actually only numbed my mind... retard my brain
from working at the moment of consuming these
colourful fluid.. most of all.. i'm suffering from the
side effects of frequent late nights and alcohol..
which a few of my friends know.. those who are
really observant enough.. can really see it
happen.. Lucky for me.. i did not pick up another
habit that can always goes hand in hand with
drinking.. that's smoking.. if not, i believe i won't
live for more than 40 years...

back to my changes..
well, some of you must have been trying hard to
believe that i've turn into this way.. wondering
what had really happen to the guy who always
will b the first to agree to join with the rest for
clubbing.. the guy who supply loads of Techno
MP3s to the rest.. the guy who seems to be
able to get the newest.....
well.. his gone.. quietly retired..
he had enough of these colourful lifestyle..

now.. i only want to get everything of me to
be in a orderly manner.. to get back into
clubbing is not that impossible.. but
definitely won't be anytime so soon..
really hope i could hold on to this for
as long as i could..
So that for once, i could make firm with
my own decision..

"Changes happens in every moment,
face it with acceptance, or
accepting with force..
Either way, changes are made to be accept."


that's by me..
for those hardcore, stubborn by nature people..
what i can say is..
Changes happen.. if u try to make any more changes..
it's doesn't matter much..
Coz, it's no long the same as what it is before the
changes occurs..

PaCes oF LiFe 

Everyone walk..
Everyone walk differently..
Some walk briskly..
Some rushes through..
How do you walk yourself?
How do you walk through your life?


I'm a fast walker..
To be more specific, can say to be a loner..
Walk my way towards the next destination
with quite a fast pace.. plugging the two
little earphones connecting my MD player to
me onto my ears..
Well.. It's seems more like I'm isolating myself
out from the rest..
i just dun like the feeling of walking or standing
beside total strangers..

Perhaps, i should try walk slower..
walk my life slower..
Take a good look of what's around me..
what's happening at the moment..

Got this nice phrase from a chinese drama..
find it quite meaningful
"BaGs of GoLd, CaN't bUy a LoOk BaCk"
it actually in chinese.. which i try to translate..
it means always have the habit of taking a look back..
take a look back before you leave your house..
look if the lights are switch off? gas stove properly off?
take a look back after u left your seat..
Have you left anything behind?
What most important for this phrase is..
Look back everyday of out life..
Have we left something undone?
if we do.. there's still chances for amendment if time
still allow.. that, at least wouldn't let us miss the
whole thing that had been missed..
Have we left someone behind?
anyone we have miss out while walking through?
anyone who we haven't been contacting?

There's so much things in life we could have
miss out while walking our way pass them..
Only know to regrets after we get to know
their importance.. their values in our life..

It's not wrong to race through our life..
it's a common symtoms we all see in
this competitive world..
Competition leads to improvement?
Ain't i right?
Just that.. we all should remember this..

we should walk slower sometimes..
so that peoples falling behind can catch
up with us to continue the walk..
and to see a clearer picture of everything
around you.. which are normally blurred
vision as we rushes pass them quickly..

"Fate succumbs many a species:
one alone jeopardises itself
."
- W. H. Auden

iN tHe RaiN oR ShiNe.. 

the weather is getting more and more erratic few days..
so is this weblogs server..

thinking of probably start my writing again after the server
is back to normal.. but they can't seems to give me a
good answer to my question i've posted..

quite some days since i last blog..
what have i done this couple of days?
was actually planned to watch the firecrackers and
Chinese New Year street lighting ceremony at
Chinatown with my friends on Saturday (03/01/04)
reported that the activity will commence at 6 p.m
but it just didn't happen.. instead, we went down to
Orchard to catch a movie.. School Of Rock
it really ROCKS!!!
my every first show in this 2004...
funny right from the start till the end..
a really good performance by Jack Black and all his
young co-stars..
a show i would have recommend to everyone i've know..

play soccer the following morning..
my routine on Sundays..
always meeting them up for soccer..
was quite tired due to my late night out for the show..
in the end.. hurt my right ankle while blocking a goal..
ended my game early.. but it's just the parts and
parcels of the game.. some of my friends always ask..
"What is the point of so many guys chasing after a
ball? Really that fun?"

Well, it's just like asking a woman, why shopping is so
much interesting to them..
everyone have their own ideas of fun and interests..

Wonder will the server be working properly tomorrow..
Having not be able to read my friend's blogs..
i read my current book (Tuesdays With Morrie)
quite fast.. should be able to complete it on the bus while
on my way home after work.. really a nice book to read..
after that, i'll start with the other book by the same
author which i've bought.. hope it's as good.. if not,
better..

Think i've to stop here today..
can't seems to find something better to write..
Take Care My Friends..

" As long as we have memories, yesterday remains.
As long as we have hope, tomorrow awaits.
As long as we have friendship, today is beautiful
"

found this message quite interesting..
one from the email a friend forwarded to me..
hope all of you who are reading will like it too.. :)

Today.. the second day after New Year Day..
back to work.. but kind of cheerful..
why huh? hahaha..
the main reason is that the bus which i took
everyday to my working area is more crowded
than before.. School Reopen!!!!
hahaha.. (Sadist huh?)
not really that much of it..
most likely is because.. i can get to see more
people every morning.. knowing i'm not
really alone on my journey.. and more new
faces.. hehe..

hmm.. seems like there will be an interesting
topic to write and post here..
have been discussing with friends about it..
hopefully after discussion.. can get the
whole thing started.. :)
