Post AGM 2010


We had a wonderful post AGM gathering. Thanks Valerie for all the picture as well as organizing such a great party for us. Food was nice and people were even nicer. As the milestone for this year AGM, as usual passing baton from old president to new president. Celestine our new president is a capable and well versed lady whom will leader us through many great events near future.

The party was held somewhere in Novena Square I think. They booked the whole game shop down, which made us felt ultra important and VIPness~ We had about 6 game console station to ourselves, Xbox and Wii. Oh btw the badminton was a great game, I battled with Fendy. Hmmm as usual, suck ball at music section. Guitar hero totally got owned. The game ain't much to tell.

Food couldn't have been better. In fact it was the best I had for since so many so many catering from sembcorp. Salad prawn, deep fried salmon, pepper beef, fruits tarts and the best pink pom pom cha cha in town!!

How to choose your N8 color

Hi people, note down this big big dates, Nokia N8 officially release on 5 Nov. Finally. It comes in 5 colors and what will you choose? Let me give you a little statistic from a recent poll as well as color senses to help you pick your best color. I know its hard. It didn't surprise me that black came up as first most wanted color, but the least wanted color did. I thought green was featured many times in the ads, why had it became the most unwanted color. Anyway already pre ordered the orange and CLP ordered the green. Oh, btw I seen the actual phone at Vivo city when a person applying his screen protector on. I instantly identify the gorgeous baby. It was an absolute head turner, specially with my illuminates orange.



BLACK

Black is authoritative and powerful; because black can evoke strong emotions, too much can be overwhelming. Black represents a lack of color, the primordial void, emptiness. It is a classic color for clothing, possibly because it makes the wearer appear thinner and more sophisticated.

SILVER (no silver, gray will do)

Gray is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is dignified, conservative, and carries authority. Gray is controlled and inconspicuous and is considered a color of compromise, perhaps because it sits between the extremes of black and white. Gray is a perfect neutral, which is why designers often use it as a background color.

ORANGE

Orange, a close relative of red, sparks more controversy than any other hue. There is usually strong positive or negative association to orange and true orange generally elicits a stronger “love it” or “hate it” response than other colors. Fun and flamboyant orange radiates warmth and energy.

Interestingly, some tones of orange, such as terra cotta, peach, and rust have very broad appeal.

BLUE

Blue is the overwhelming “favorite color.” Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable, and committed.

The color of ocean and sky, blue is perceived as a constant in our lives. As the collective color of the spirit, it invokes rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming. However, not all blues are serene and sedate.

Electric or brilliant blues become dynamic and dramatic — an engaging color that expresses exhilaration. Some shades or the overuse of blue may come across as cold or uncaring.

Indigo, a deeper blue, symbolizes a mystical borderland of wisdom, self-mastery, and spiritual realization. While blue is the color of communication with others, indigo turns the blue inward to increase personal thought, profound insights, and instant understandings.

Blue is the least “gender specific” color, having equal appeal to both men and women.

GREEN

Green occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye than most colors, and is second only to blue as a favorite color. Green is the pervasive color in the natural world, making it an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere.

The natural greens, from forest to lime, are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is considered the color of peace and ecology.

However, there is an “institutional” side to green, associated with illness and government-issued green cards, that conjures up negative emotions, as do the “slimy” or “bilious” greens.



OKIE.. CALL ME A NOKIA FANBOY.

No U-turn syndrome (NUTS)

No U-turn syndrome (NUTS) is coined by Sim Wang Hoo, director of Creative, to mock the conservative behavior of the people in Singapore. A common social behavior to seek for approval to higher authority prior to any action taken. No U-turn Syndrome uses traffic system in Singapore with comparison with other country to illustrate this phenomenon. Both systems serve the same purpose albeit in a different approach. However the social repercussion is significant.

In Singapore: Drivers are not allow to make a U-turn unless a sign specifically allows them to so.

Oversea: You CAN U-turn freely along the road, which you deem safe to do so as long as "No U-turn sign" is not present.

The "No U-turn Syndrome" permeates into the life of every citizen including our parent, which drove down this concept into our brain as little as we are 4 years old. Our lifestyle and decision since young were rule based. If there is no rule for you to do, then it’s NO DO.

In his articles, he further elaborate that we were nurtured to be easily manipulated so that foreign MNC would be attracted to establish their sub base in Singapore. They came in, set a rule and system from oversea headquarter and all our citizens were always ready to comply. No question asked.

And due to the rigidness of our country's educational system and culture, everyone had to follow other people's paths. If everyone has a degree, then we have to get a certificate even if it means giving up our integrity, passion, lifestyle, dream and creativity.

Hippocampus 2010 committee

I was rather surprise, i could squeeze into he hippo campus commuitee. I love to organize event for people and therefore glad with our arrangement. People in event management are generally good people and easily associated.

Just finished a dinner section with them yesterday at Suntec skinny pizza. Head scholar was generous on our dinner budget, which totalling to $300 plus. As we are eye of an apple which deserved to be well fed, and fed well. I quoted her here. Thanks Cynyi.

President role was passed to Celestine from ex-president; Valeria. Both were excellent female icon who holds great leadership criteria. It rare for women to have my respect and they totally deserve my all due respect. Cynyi ended the dinner with a great motivational speech, and I was all charged with positive energy to face my mundane lifestyle all over again. How powerful is that, when you really can communicate and motivate your people whom you manage. These are great people.

Time flies and CLP came to her last week of her attachment. She going to part us for her last semester in school before she return to join us full time. She had been a doll all this while, being strong and supportive to me. I really had to owe it to her for helping me over one major assignment. I had been assigned for PUB clarification and she helped me to document it and typed 9000 words on words. Almost took her half a day typing. I think from 2pm till 9pm. Couldn't had made it w/o her.

缘中秀的紫微斗术

缘中秀的紫微斗术。

Master Ivan told me the same thing that he told me last time during Aura reading. The first thing he see my chart is: 你很乱。乱乱乱乱乱。


Missing elements from earth and fire

According to my ba zi, out of the five element ; wood, fire, metal, earth and water. I had 5 elements under fire, 2 under water and 1 under wood. (Everyone supposed to have 8 random elements of any kind). As illustrated in the above diagram, I had a strong characteristic (metal), but lacks in career(earth) and drive(fire).

本命: 缺火,缺水。 很难突出,没方向。

夫妻: 老婆为贵

子女: 为贵

事业: 先成家而再立业, 有想法, 胆缺, 冲不到。

迁移: 适合到国外发展。

朋友: 女为好, 身边小人多, 朋友截你福气。

财: 正财为旺, 不宜赌。

The simplest sentence to describe all the craps are: 我天生我材, 被人用. Had the potential but display for the wrong person, unappreciated. Career/ Environment meet evil star of 陀螺. Spinning round and round without directions, disorientated in life. Stepping all over in the wrong directions.

Got the plan to do but lack the courage to carry it out. Insecure of myself. Discontented with life, suitable to live in the moment of glory rather than remaining forever under a low post. Responsibility is my motivation to changes. Suitable to get married this year or next year. If not have to wait till 2013.

----------------------------

End of the session, master recommended me to rectify my fate by purchasing some $988 kind of pyramid, which of course I had kindly rejected. I think it will be more worthwhile investing in my Nokia N8, which by the way only cost $799 if you pre order online.

Well, 一命 ,二运 ,三风水 ,四读书 ,五福报. 中国五千年历史源远流传, 必然有他一定的道理. I do not doubt the existence of Feng Shui itself, I am just not so sure about the person conveying it, the creditability and the accuracy of it. I am just taking it with a pinch of salt, it will not affect my decision in whatsoever. Anyone interested in reading the thingy, i say, save it up for something else. Some things are better to left alone.

My birthday celebration, 2010

I am one year older today. So ytd went celebrate with CLP at Wisma. Went Porter international to get my present, end up getting a sling bag instead of a waist pouch. And probably that will be my best present of my life, i love it so much. Muackzz.





Shortly after we went to the side and stumble upon Swendson, went in to indulge ourself with some ice cream. Since its my birthday to speak, i guess we could be a bit generous on the spending. We were really engross in watching Andy lau's MV and end of the meal, we just walked out without paying for the ice cream. Funny thing was when we walk pass the manager, he still thanks us for having our meal there while I just replied with a "welcome". Opppsss!!!!!!



Walking out for our dinner below wisma at the live band resturant, I couldn't remember the name thou, but that was the classist resturant i wanted to dine in for a long time. Accomplished! And yes, we did remember to pay for the dinner. :) thanks again for my dear who paid for it. She insisted to pay of course.






Thanks all buds who wish my happy birthday on my FB. Thanks, you all had made me felt important. It a very general gesture I know, but it meant a lot.

Building cage for fatty bombom


As promised, I will have to deliver the exciting titles. So beginning from that day when we ran away home, two of my besties came to offer their help. Come to think of it, when we starts working, friends are getting lesser which is why the same faces keep reappearing. Well, anyway, that's fatty bombom. If this picture doesn't melt your heart away, I bet nothing can. She was initially shy when we brought her home, thinks she needed some time to acclimatize herself. She didn't drink or eat as much as expected, but she is recovering.

Alright, speaking back to the day after I quarrelled with my father, Ethan and CLP joined me the next morning helping me carry stuff back to my aunt house at Chinatown. After unpacking everything at there, we explored the place a little, I still know my way around as I stayed there when I was very young. We bought some DIY material to cage my pig. Let's see some action from us.

My new view at Chinatown

CLP mothering her with vitamin C water

Ethan measuring dimension

CLP acting 'involved' in front of camera


Woooo, fatty likes to be tickles at her belly.

Finally, fatty pom pom warming up her new house

Updates: CLP had brought fatty pompom back to her house at Woodland. We were so afraid to let her father know about it, but he just happen to came back home while we were setting up the cage for her. I was so afraid that he might be like my father, throwing tantrum at us. Surprisingly, he just asked me what was that and where did we buy at. Whao!!! Now finally, fatty can have a nice place to sleep in.

P/S: Sorry for the boring entries that were abruptly ended. I do not have time to really sit down and write.

Mum and I moved away from father

We brought a guinea pig, named fatty bombom. A typical introduction will be me introducing the guinea pig as a new member to our family and how all of us adore the new pet, ending with a happily ever after. However, not for my case.

This guinea pig had precusored a family tragedy which likely leads to a divorce between a couple, a complete tie cut between a father and son and a ugly situation of family members competing for monetaries. This is my introduction for my pet.

Its overrated to put the blame on the pet. Put it this way, an already shattered family without love for each other, is like a high pressured; leaking gas cylinder. So readily to combust and a pet had triggered an ignition. BOOM!!!!!!!

When we bring home fatty bombom, I thought its only courteous to inform him about it. No rymth and reson he started to scold me and complain about me using air con and not doing household shore, bla bla bla. And he threaten to throw my guinea pig out the next day. Through out the whole commotion, i just kept my silent. I do not know what did he said. Somehow he just manage to waken the bengness in me, like when i was 17. The past which i tried hard not to become, buried deep in some neverland. That moment I erputed, like totally being taken control. In my trance, my adrendine maxed out where my body gain awareness peak, fight or flight mode. My heart raced, pupil dilated and every single pores excreted cold sweat. The adrendine rush overwhlemed me and trying hard to find source to disspate, so it ended up making my whole body shiver. Its not that i am scared, i am so ready to take him like a men, one on one we talk outside kind of fight. My poor old lady stood between us attempt to stop our fight. We exchanged valgurities at each other, he proclaimed himself as the owner of the house, scolded CLP as well, telling her he don't ever wish to see her again at our house. Is either of this reason or the fact that he said he don't wanna pay electric bill lim peh and lim bu decided that we have hax enough. If its hard ball he wants to play, then hard ball it is. We had a short debrief between lim bu and CLP, we want a divorce and we are moving out.

We are comtemplating a series of pay back. We gotten sweep him off guard. But its very confidential to disclose our plan now. So check back later. As quickly as possible i applied 2 day urgent leave with my boss at 11pm at night, by the next morning we packed our essential stuff and we are gone staying at my aunt house. Clp and ethan came helped me to move. This isn't childplay or a getaway. This is for real and it gonna be permanent. We are dead serious. 有你没我的境界. But we must do the divorce asap so he would not have the time to react and also to prevent my mum from giving in again. She is very flicker minded on this and she had already endured him for so long.

2nd morning, we went back and packed our other stuff, i even moved my desktop, 人去搂空 basically. Stay tune, for future exciting titles:

-Building cage for fatty bombom

-Living live before and after

-家好月圆 singapore version

My one year anniversary with CLP

Phew.

Can I not be so lazy anymore. I nelgected my blog for so long not just because I don't have the time to write it, but I am really lazy. Okie, enuff nonsense. Something happy to share about.

Liping and I had just celebrated our 1 year anniversary. Many people foresee our relationship to not last that long. How can such two different person to be getting along so well. Our secret receipt is not to compare with other couple and be contented with what we have. Besides, compromising and understanding to each other is very important. So the special night, we just have some home-made cheese platter and red wine while spending quantity time with each other. That's enough. (For me)


So long never went oversea together. last time was to shenzhen. So that day went over with CLP and her sister, she brought some clothes at lucky plaza, we ate dinner together at road side hawker. End up I brought nothing. Learnt that custom in Malaysia had some major make over.





Good news aside. Now don't mention NUS or BBDC to me. Because when you add these 2 things together. I become unhappy. Dinner, motor ride, telephone number...... All is so shit. Hate hate hate. Why something like this had to happen during one 1 year anniversary?


Apple Peel 520, convert Ipod touch to Iphone




If you are one of those who dream about making phone call on ipod touch, like I used to. The wait is over, our prayer had been answered. It yesterday news already, but I still would like to alert those still not in the picture. China geeks had unveil apple peel 520. Essentially, a rubber that contain a spare extension battery, a sim card reader, a microphone and a vibrator.

The only draw back, is that the casing only hack itouch with the ability to make/ receive call and send/ receive message only. The still hasn't support 3G network. Meaning not on the go internet access.

Retailing at $49

Why not take a look a itouch 4th generation. Retina display, A4 chip, better RAM, thinner, lighter, facetime and much more coming on the way. You even get to engrave words when you order online.

Wait, isn't that makes up a total iphone 4 costing less than 350SGD???

黃明志 Namewee songs tribute


黃明志 Namewee


is a famous Malaysia amateur rapper, whom produced some controversial songs; often being accused as demeaning to his country and culture. My personal opinion regards him more or less like the Hong Kong rapper's band LMF which happens to be my idol as well. If you look behind the vulgarity and seek deeper into the meaning of the songs, you would realize what they were singing was actually the truth and the actual thoughts of the 小市民.

Speaking back to Namewee, he seemingly had a song so controversial that he got himself wanted by the Malaysia police for a period of time. I would like to dedicate my utter respect by sharing some of his great work. Feels the lyric and ya, remember to make sure your mum is not with you. Had been warned.


I like this the best *** Must watch ***

KuiShin-Bo the place for Alaska Crap


CLP owes us a meal, cause last time YS paid for the Wagyu dinner. We had a hard time deciding whether to go for Wagyu sabu sabu buffet or Kuishin-Bo. Finally we settled in for Kuishin-Bo (Goh She Poh) because of the Alaska Crab.

Nice choice!! We had the fullest meal since forever. Basically we rejected the 60min rush buffet and took the full 4.5 hours buffet, starting from 5:30p0m to 10pm. Some of the offering are too good to be missed. Like the BBQ lobster, which only will be served once in a while. The Alaska Crab is succulent and the desserts are heavenly.


The lobstericous



If you are looking for some quality food and sick of Sakura, then give Kuishin-Bo a shot for the steep price of $47.90++ on weekend at Great World City. Less crowded.




It sort of became a traditional in buffet, I mean please STOP play with your food!!

What to do in life




Now i am detesting my work. Felt so miserable about the pay system of the company, almost like in army where all they care about is ur cert. No matter how fast u promote or pay rise, the percentage increasment is going to wider. I think properly i want to change path again. Maybe take up part time degree course as a health safety officer. If recongise, i can complete them within 2 year. Jump E5 engineer straight.

But then, what happen to my handphone business? I can never become my own boss already. How am i going to prove to the world that you dont have to get a degree to earn ur fiancial freedom.

Shall i go into the topic of path to true happiness? How do i define true happiness. Is it being derive by material abilities? It varies men to men. I define it as the abilities to do the things that you wants to do. Physically, mentally and lastly fiancially. Is earning in relucancy something you felt happy and sucessful? Or maybe its compromised by work life balance for u to earn the amount i want to earn? Is that what i want?

Then the question presenting to me now is: what exactly i want to do in life? Some people took a life time to find out, it might be too early for me to jump into conclusion.

My zombified foot

Morning wake up with a running nose and a sore throat. Took my 2nd MC from work. See a doctor and go home 2 day bathless. Normally I am a clean animal, how my heater spolit so i cant tke a bath on cold water really. So i go the conventional way by boiling my own water. Really smelly cat now.

Maybe of 2 day bathless and my skin zombified. They peels off as dead skin under my foot. I really enjoy peeling them that i wrote the date on the skin that comes off me. Those thick skin served me well when last time when i played basketball without a shoe. They serve as my sole from the hot floor of the basketball court. I want to conserve them as long as possible. See my collections.

A hip up with CLP

7th month in 2010, instead of shocking up from sleep by nightmare, i actually laughted myself up from a funny dream. Can u believe that? Lmao while i am dreaming and actually shocked myself out of it. I think its first time of my life:) I think the fact that i dont believe in ghost make me invulnerable for "inception".



Alrighty, ytd when to venture around at Demsey with CLP. Kind of recommended by Pam when I asked for places to hang out. Well totally out of my league. End up at breako holland spent $50.


Today shop spee with CLP at somerset 313. My first time again. Very big and I didn't really finish half, brought jeans, pant, books, hair clay and eat go go curry. Spent like $150.

We fell in love squating in front of 313 scrutinising people walking pass and pick the most ideal size alpha male. We judge, comment and laugh ass of as we pick our nicest body dude that i want to work into one day.


CLP and i seldom get into fight but this week we kind of having a small crsis. Its my fault to start of with, but i was yearning for attention if u know what i mean. Although you relucant to open up with me, insecure with me and keeps loving me lesser and lesser, i still feels u cares for me. U covered blanket for me when i am cold, u brought me sweet when i felt dizzy on bus and u gave and scarified ur time for me. Yes, all these small little things are took into account. I betrayed the trust and now u can trust me anymore, i understand. I hope u can get over it quickly.

-- Post From My iPhone
Feeling so gonna give up yet it so hard to get go. I am so vexed, why did it turns out to be so complicated. Why the relationship is so conservative and so relucant to commit. We are doubting each other and neither one wants to give our all for the feeling of getting hurt. Inevitably, i am still hurt.

Engineering rat race




Today my sale is 520. Therefore my pay today is 100. Tmr is national but still I will be working, however tmr I will be working at timmy shop. Suppose to have more sale and hence more money.

I dont know why i am like fighting for my life to work hard, probably I reach the point that i concentrate fully on money. For future. I really dun think that I will be working long in sembcorp. My peer choose to further study and if by 2 years time I cant reach the same place as them, i might wan to quit. I fear i might enter a rat race where i will be too comfortable with these regular pay, which hinder me into a path where there is many variable.

Sometime i envy peter's life in Coliban water as a manager. where he descript he can work with one of his hand tied at the back. When you earn to a certain amount of money you realize that unless you can keep ur job challenging, you will tend to venture out for a more fulfilling job. Well, i am still here, at this point where I need miney for myself, my mum and my GF. Doing a job thats fulfilling, its not the time yet.

Stubborn yet self steering your life

I guess I am a pretty stubborn person. What I think its right, I will stay firm ground regardless of what people say. Sometime I might be wrong, but I still will not regret my action. However most of the time, I am right.

Friend sometime crosses your path, touches you heart and before you truely wants to uphold the precious relationship. And puff, they are gone. We are just a chapter in their life book and so are they in ours. Remembering nothing in this universe last forever, every one day beyond the begining is just one day nearer to the end.

Don't live your life compromising yourself for others and do not seek for recognition. End of the day you are out there by yourself and you need to make decision by yourself. Choices that affects our life is only fair if we made them ourselves. Believing people blindly put our reliance on others but we should train ourself for independant decision, intuition, rationality and plain guts feeling. So what if we are wrong? Doesn't mean people are right too.
