Been really busy this two weeks or so. So ya, not really much time to go blog. To make it all up, I'll start off with this simple little fact - sheet i found on some forum. Here goes:

20. Onions help reduce cholesterol if eaten after a fatty meal.

21. The sound you hear when you crack your knuckles is actually the sound of nitrogen gas bubbles bursting.


Interesting hor? Hehehe .. in any case, like i said, quite a busy two weeks. Let's see, went back to Malaysia for CNY. Cannot blame la, parents are malaysians, so what else can do? LL follow back lor. In any case, on our way there, we had to pay some "Extra fees". And for those who know nuts about what i'm typing, yes, i'm referring to corruption. [ which, in any case, strikes me as being so alien a culture since i'm so used to the "GOD" [ Read: don't mess with me, asshole. ] feel that is kinda prevalent in the Singapore Police Force. ] Oh well. Anyway, we were pulled over and told that we were over the speed limit [ running at about 124km/h, speed limit is 110, i think. ] okay la. talk talk abit here and there, ended up paying RM30 to "excuse" ourselves. and yeah, it's an evil, but then again, it's a necessary evil =P

Anyway, the Bai Nian was kinda pathetic, partly because I was busy with my report and plus the fact that we kinda lost touch with most of my Malaysian counterparts also. Sad huh? Lol.. ended up with a kinda pathetic HongBao collection. I won't say how much, but it's definitely less then SGD50. But hey, the thought counts more then the money collected bah. Or then again, maybe i'm saying this to console myself? Hahahaha .. anyway, other then that, here's something you don't really get to see in Singapore. I posted it in my friendster for quite a long time already, but well, just putting here for the memories as well .. here goes:


























In Malaysia, it's called Roti Tisu. It's basically dough that is stretched REAL THIN, fried, and then shaped to make this "mountain". And while some shops add sugar, this particular one uses condensed milk, so yeah, think someone better dial 1900 - 912 - 6868 le .. hahahaha

Anyway, back to the Singapore side of my life. Okay la, the few days back, I also been visiting most of my friend's house to Bai Nian [ or rather, trying to improve my pathetic HongBao money, LOL ]. to that end, i was rather successful. Of course, with the help of a little bit of Dai Dee/Blackjack, I managed to win about 20 bucks bah. but then again, a taxi ride home erased all the winnings. zzz. all thanks to some joker [ you know who you are .. ] who kept delaying all of us, lol. and yea, I consider myself lucky to have money for the cab home. If not .. I don't really want to think about it also xD

And well, lastly, celebrated Johnny's birthday about 2 days back. Nothing big, just a little birthday celebration organized by his family with Meng, Joei and I playing his PS2 and free - loading the food into our stomaches xDDD

oh well, after all of this, i suddenly feel like there's a dark cloud over me. For one, there's my final year paper. Then there's also my medical checkup for NS. Then the impending fear of me not being to make it to poly .. and the list goes on. zzz. Oh well. Guess i'll have to take things one at a time, huh?

Okay. Out.

Song - Wang Lee Hom - What Was I Thinking


Time flies. i'm graduating soon. going back to all those memories .. really priceless. last lap for me, then i graduate, hopefully, to enter poly. if not, i don really have a choice, do i?

i'm feeling weird all over. Valentine's day just passed, and yeah. i didn't celebrate. donno, i feel like i'm missing something. like there's this big, big hole left unfilled. perhaps i should have at least asked a friend out to do this thing, that thing, something, ANYTHING. but i didn't. instead, i'm being the guai kia and chionging my FYP report. lol .. they say every 10 years, the guy will change. and i'm wondering. is this my change?

heh .. really, i'm getting ahead of myself. in any case, like what everyone says: time will tell ..

oh well. i'm off to WOW. don't really know what to do about the report, so yeah, i'm leaving it till tomorrow to seek clarification with my teacher. perhaps he can shed some light on the mystery on hand, lol

Good Night All.

OUT. ^^

Song: Andy Williams - Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Mood: Contented.



For those who are wondering, yes, if the song's familiar, this was used in an advertisement once before. can't really remember which one though -.-

oh well. things have really changed. school has started. the workload is still manageable, so thank god and heavens I'm not about to grow any more gray hairs or wrinkles. haha .. just one more exam and my final year project to be done and i graduate. NS is coming up next, i think. for our batch, i don't think be able to defer. but well, i'm praying. not just to be able to defer, but also for my grades. GPA needed is 3, and i'm at 2.7. zzz. slacking too much le. crap. but well, one should always be optimistic and since past is past, there is really nothing much i could do about it except crossing fingers and working hard and smart.

so, in other news, TRF has disbanded. yes, i know, this is about one month old. but .. i feel that i should dedicate at least a line or two of my blog entry to this. donno what to say about it also. how it happened, the events that lead to it .. i look at it, and well, i feel like LOL - ing at everyone. donno la, the way everyone handled it looks kinda .. immature. ya. immature would be a good word. don't really know know how to say it .. it's like, tit for tat. you do this, i do that lor. that kind of stuff. then it all snowballs downhill until this current state of affairs. ya. zzz ..

anyway, recently [ or more like 2 months back, LOL ], i got a laptop. it's from Asus and i must say .. quite a big hole burned in the wallet though, THE PRICE TAG IS 3k -.- plenty of thanks for my parents who coughed up the money first. and now, i wonder how the **** i'm supposed to return them the money .. -.- anyway, here's how it looks like ..























The name for it is the F3J . don't ask me why it's got such a weird name, but anyway, got it because:

1) i was swa koo. i never used a laptop before. xD
2) it's a " gaming oriented " laptop. [ whatever that means .. ]
3) i need a replacement for that junk of computer parts i call my desktop.

okay la, i'm lying to myself. a laptop, technically speaking, can never afford the bang for buck performance of a desktop la. but still, a laptop is literally speaking, something to put on your lap, to carry around. so ya, if anyone's asking if it's worth it, yes, it is. [ or perhaps i'm saying this because i want to comfort myself about the 3k that has flown away ? XDDDD ]

anyway, so far so good bah. the laptop hasn't broken down yet. =X and no, i'm not asking for someone to break my laptop also , hahahaha .. but well, i was expecting something to happen. like a key popping out, or the in built - speakers giving me slience when i'm playing at the loudest volume possible .. or whatever. but no, nothing so far. hopefully, it stays that way.

okay .. damned sian .. i'm off to bed xD

Mood: Sleepy..

lol.. it's been about a full month or so since i last blogged.. quite a lot of things has happened since, but well, i'm kinda sleepy which in turn makes me a bit lazy to blog =X maybe tomorrow bah, but well, this is something interesting.. found this from a forum, and hey, it's quite true [ at least, for me la ] ..


This is a tribute to the nice guys.. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores..

This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support... This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern.. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style..

This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they're at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway..

For the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don't end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you..

This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner... And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn't worry about it..

This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you'd ever orchestrated in your Play Station Game to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world... And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor..

This is also for that time she didn't have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing "serious" between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: "oh, but we're just friends!" And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that..

The nice guys don't often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don't seem to get laid as often as they should.. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can't.. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches...

Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as "oh, he's too nice to date" or "he would be a good boyfriend but he's not for me" or "he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn't possibly ask him out!" or the most frustrating of all: "no, it would ruin our friendship."

Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks.. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can't figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I'm going to sleep with this complete ass now!)...

But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn't last forever.. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single...

So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys... You know who you are, and I know you're sick of hearing yourself described as ubiqutously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile...

For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you... You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming..

A change of skin, a new address for my blog. oh well. was actually thinking of just deleting away the blog, but after a few words from someone, decided to keep it. just as well, since this blog has followed me for quite some time already.

anyway, this two weeks plus has seen quite a bit of things happening. so well, long post:

1) UGC

like i have written in my earlier posts, i made it for the UGC. okay la. not bad. for a person who is so fucking n00b, i can say that the result of me being kicked out in the first round for both categories is kinda expected bah. oh well. there's always a next year [ provided, of course, i'm still alive by then, lol ] and ya, quite alot of events though. memorable ones would be like how falfen, who was so guai lan to tap brake, didn't notice how much his speed dropped, giving his opponent a chance to overtake. and somemore on a straightway with little to go before reaching the finish line. lol. owned. and there were others like how alvin lost to michael, who blocked him from start to finish and somemore, on a map that alvin himself used to be like super duper owning at. oh well. -.- and ya. i managed to kick tong lam out of the compy. LOL. hmm. one could say that it was more luck then skill though. or maybe not. but anyway. it's over, so congrats to the winners while the losers like me can start whining. HAHAHA!

2) Malaysia

yep. Malaysia yet again. it's been like every year now that i go MY for holidays, LOL. no choice la. everyone's out of money. so ya, maybe next time, i can blog about going to hong kong or japan bah, lol. but seriously, nothing much done. eh. one can put it this way bah. i went to donate blood. not to people, but to mosquitoes. LOL! really alot there, and it's not helping that it's damned humid, which means plenty of sweating, which in turn leads to those irritating little bugs having a great feast on my blood supply -.- it's a wonder i didn't get dengue fever or anything like that XD anyway, like i said, nothing much done. abit of shopping, gorging myself on food [ malaysia is a food paradise. so cannot complain, lol ]and battle gear 3 [ closest thing i could find to ID -.- ] oh well, it's practice for AS4 anyway.. XD other then the above, pure slacking, sleeping, whatever at home. no car + no license means i cant take the car out for a few spins, right ? zzz.. can only blame myself for being so lazy.. -.-

oh well.. school's up in a few days or so, hai ~~ too slack liao. gotta get myself into the right frame of mind for school, no ? lol.. till next time ~

I don't want to say so much.. really feel like killing myself..



Jay Chou's 退后

天空灰的像哭過
The sky is gray, as if it has cried
離開你以後 並沒有更自由
After leaving you, I am not any more free
酸酸的空氣 嗅出我們的距離
The sour air produces the smell of our distance
一幕最新的結局 像呼吸般無法停息
The newest result is like breathing, unable to cease

抽屜泛黃的日記 找到了回憶
The yellowed-diary in the drawer has found its recollections
那笑容是夏季
That smile resembles the season of summer
你我的過去 被算是真的忘記
Our past can really be considered to be forgotten
缺氧過後的愛情 如星的眼淚是多餘
The lack of oxygen after love is like the tears of stars, it is unneccesary

我知道你我都沒有錯
I know that neither of us are at fault
只是忘了怎麼退後
We just forgot how to retreat
信誓旦旦給了承諾 卻被時間撲了空
Our oath made its best effort, but it allowed time to make it empty
我知道我們都沒有錯
I know that neither of us are at fault
只是放手會比較好過
It is just that it will be better if we separate
最美的愛情回憶裡待續
The most beautiful love is the type that we carry on in our memories

那笑容是夏季
That smile resembles the season of summer
你我的过去 被顺时针地忘记

just a little post before i go get some zzz. school starts at 8 tomorrow, so ya. can't really be late, can i?

the past two days, i have spent a fair amount of time. thinking. Who are really the people i can call friends? Who are the people i can really depend on when everything just seems so wrong? Who are the people i can really trust? Simply put, i donno who i should really so call "friend" with now. really donno. is it just me thinking too much? Donno. i find that everyone seems to be using me for their own ends. yep. just use, then discard me when they're done. and yes, at this point, it does seem appropriate for me to quote a single person or perhaps parties that i feel are involved. but no, better not. this kind of things are sensitive in nature and i don wish to hurt any innocent parties that may find themselves unwittingly be dragged into this litte fuss of mine. at times, i really wish there was something, like a sure - fire solution to problems like this. instead, now, everything's so gray. things are not like last time; you're either white; if not, you're black. end of story. but no, doesn't work that way. hai~ really. but well, here's a that silly little quiz again. quite a bit of food for thought here. and yeah, plenty of thanks to jolynn yet again ~

At this time you are really feeling quite exhausted by all the conflict and quarrelling that is going on about you and you are looking for some sort of protection from this state of affairs. Ideally you are seeking a peaceful condition and a tranquil environment in which you can be afforded the chance to relax and recover......

Which ever way you turn you feel that you are being utterly thwarted. There is considerable conflict in the air but you will stick to your beliefs and not be deterred in endeavouring to attain your objectives.

Enough is enough - but the problems never seem to stop. They never stop. You feel, and maybe you are right, that the problems seem to go on and on and you have indeed had more than your fair share of trials and tribulations. But to give you credit - you bounce back time and time again - you stick to your beliefs because deep down you have that inner knowledge, that 'belief' system that in the end, everything will turn out OK - and you are right -it will!

Whatever has caused the situation, you just don't seem to be able to sustain or maintain relationships as you would wish to. What you really seek is to be able to develop a relationship with someone with whom you can truly share: Love, Serenity, Peace and Quiet. But you are a very demanding person and it is your nature that leads to disquiet and discord: you are like the tide, flotsam and jetsam... One minute you experience 'highs' and a few moments later 'lows'. This obviously will introduce discord into any relationship and with this demanding attitude - the ideal state you desire is unable to develop. Despite the urge to gratify your natural desires, you impose a considerable self-restraint on your instincts in the belief that this demonstrates your superiority and raises you above the common herd. You are extremely critical of everything that is presently going on around you and you find it difficult to listen to or to take advice from anyone. You enjoy the original, the ingenious and the subtle.

It is strange that the anxiety that you are experiencing at this time is of your own making simply because of your desire to be respected by your fellow man and with those whom you work with. You are not satisfied. The normal congenial 'you' is becoming quite introverted. This is becoming increasingly more obvious because you seem to shy away from participating in everyday activities. You are refusing to allow yourself to become involved or to participate with others and it is the reluctance to communicate that is the inherent cause of your problems.

Weather - calm

just downloaded this song. quite nice le. at least. it speak volumes about my feelings at the moment.

this few days, i can proudly declare that i am offically a NO - LIFE person. school, home, games. no go out [ or at least only thursday, when i went jp to meet ah gong. ]. even my parents are abit O.o at the sight of their dear son sitting at home and in front of the com DOTA - ing like some mad freak. hahaha~ can't be blamed. i always do all the "weird" things when i'm heartbroken. but fret not, good friends of mine. lance isn't about to go crazy. well, at least for the next 5 minutes. after that, i can't guarantee anything. lol. okay. that was lame =X

so well, i have done it. i'm now in the UGC for initial D. both stock and tuned. can't really let down my guard now; all the pros are here. as much as i would like to say that i will own everyone in the compy, i should really just be realistic. as in train like mad and pray for the best. lol. in any case, yesterday's UGC qualifier at tpy was such a bomb. well, it's really about kaiqi and tong lam bah. as one should know by now, kaiqi was kicked out of the stock category at the last minute by tong lam.
