Me.

Air
Your element is Air: Carefree, lovable, fun and
childish. Arent you cute! Your just full of
childhood spunk and happiness! Hey who said
being young was a bad thing? You have a keen
understanding of whats good in life and choose
to remain happy rather than get too upset over
things. Life is fun, who wants to be troubled
by grown-up problems? Being as capable of love
as you are you will make a wonderful parent if
and when you choose to grow up. Love is a
mystery because you only want friends not love
interests, games are better than relationships
with the opposite sex. You have what everyone
is searching for, that so called 'fountain of
youth' deep inside. You can come across as
naive and childish at times. But who cares what
they think, lets go play tag!

Hello 2005~

It's now officially 2005~ 12:25 a.m.~

Time to make some New Year Resolutions~~~
*Drum roLLs*

1. First of all, I'm gonna PASS MY FREAKIN' DRIVING TEST on the 12th of Jan.
2. Start checking out and for my mini-van; and hopefully get to buy it, latest by end of 2006.
3. Work hard in uni. Must do well man.
4. Play hard in uni as well. Gonna play bball for hall hopefully. Maybe handball. Maybe try my hand at air-pistol too.
5. Save up. Wanna have at least $5000 in personal account by end of 2005. Means that I most probably gotta get a job. Hopefully a job in hostel.
6. Be a better person. Treat people I treasure nicely. Family and my best friends ba.

Hmm, initially thought that I'd have alot of resolutions. But can't think of many right now.

Of course, the coming of the new year is an occasion on which we should be joyful and happy, let's not forget our less fortunate counter-parts in the rest of the world.

And it's not just about the tsunami victims just because it's been the most phenomenal and all over the papers. We must also remember those who have been suffering since a long time ago, like sufferers of disease, etc. Powerless as we may be in helping them ease their pains physically and emotionally, I guess we should play a part whenever we can, however we can.

Oh yeah, since I'm at it, would just like to mention that you can actually donate stuff at Tekka, for the victims of the tsunami incident, in Sri Lanka. Well actually I'm not a firm advocate of cash donations.

Being the cynical me, I believe the money won't go to the victims. A portion of it may, but definitely not the full amount. Noticed the increasing chrity shows on TV? Is mankind becoming more and more charitable? Cynical me thinks that it's cos more and more organizations realize how lucrative it is to earn money through charity shows.

Still, me thinks it's okay to donate money, cos a portion of it still goes to the needy. But I think that donating foodstuffs, water purifying pills, clothings, is a more practical way of helping them; cos the organizations involved won't want them anyway.

Merry Christmas!

yea, my christmas's been merry~ simple, but merry nonetheless~ simple joys of life~ haha.
was with ting on both christmas eve and christmas. went to bugis on e eve~ i bought a sling bag for her n she bought a pouch for me. den i HAD to treat her to dinner at swensen's cos we agreed that whoever made e uglier christmas card will treat e other. i seriously regret agreeing to that bet. n she was so smirk over it, sheesh.

went to e esplanade in the evening n realized we barely missed e SNOWING SESSION. by maybe 5 mins, i think. sheesh, bad timing. sat at our usual spot to talk n watch people do funny things n laugh at them.

there was this kid sitting on his papa's shoulders; not much to take note of until we heard e papa say "don't play with papa's hair~~~". only den did we notice that e little kid was trying to style some mohawk pattern on e poor man's hair. damn funny.

den we saw this couple making out~~ i mean, hello?? in e middle of a busy place on christmas eve? free show ah. not that i din enjoy the show lah, budden wtf? somemore they damn passionate, body movement and all. kaka.

took a picture of ting with the red volkswagon displayed at e esplanade~ an ang moh couple happened to pass by n congratulated us on our new car for christmas~~ so funny, these ang mohs, haha..

went for a picnic on e next day, christmas day itself. i think we agreed to meet at 1215 but i WOKE UP at 1215 instead, so i got scolded by her n we met at about 2 pm instead haha. reminds me of the big walk~~

we were supposed to meet at like, 6, i think. she gave a wake-up call at 0530. when i wasn't there at 0630, she called me again. guess where i was? yea, still in bed! haha sheesh, too tired lah..

anyway, we went to carrefour to get our food for a little picnic~ anyway i had to bring e straw mat n tent, n i think people on e bus were looking at me like, "whoa, where's he going?"

ate our sushi first, cos we realized that sushi can't last long! started to build e tent after that~ we felt kinda weird cos i think we were e only people on that patch of ground, n there were people playing soccer there. a few episodes of having e ball crashing into our tent. it was e last straw when e ball flew INTO e tent. e VERY VERY last straw when e little boy said "sorry uncle"!!!!!! i look very old meh?? n ting kept laughing at me.

switched to another patch of ground after that. basically slacked in e tent, reading books n talking n people-watching again~ saw these group of people learning to roller-blade~ damn funny, so big guy liao, kept wobbling around in e skates, screaming like little kids haha.

den saw this ferocious-looking uncle---swinging his kids to sleep on a hammock. reminds me of e part in forrest gump when forrest first met his fierce-looking buddy; never judge anything by its appearance.

hmm.. thinking back at e card ting gave me~ she says she's got a feeling that this will be our last christmas together.. well, happy as we may be, together, most of the time, we have our differences.. but still, guess i'd stick to my philosophy; stay happy while we can! whatever happens later, just let it happen later. geeZ, feels like such a moody ending to this entry.

but well, i had a merry merry christmas~!



All I want for Christmas is a Volkswagon!

So hungry!!

Big tent!

Of medicines past and present

Still remember the medicine we used to take when we were kids? I still do, and as I think back about it, my heart weeps and tears flow incontrollably outta my eyes. Okay I'm exaggerating. Actually, I'm really surprised I remember pretty well what they were like. Maybe it's cos I din dare to swallow tablets when I was a kid. Haha so embarrassing.So I've been drinking medicine all the way till like, dunno JC or sec school.Quite fun to think back about it, actually.

Here's a summary of all the different types, for me to look back on when I grow old muaha.

The "sore-throat" medicine: Okay I dunno the technical name of this, but it's the most yummy one~~ I always liked to take this first. Honeydew in flavour. Kinda taste like cod liver oil. Of course not as nice lah, but somewhere near.

The FLU medicine: Comes in different flavours. But I only remmber the pinkish, transparent one. Not yummy, but definitely better than the rest.

The COUGH medicine: Well, as a big boy now,I still take this type. In fact, have been taking this medicine for the past few days. Damn sheesh. Black in colour, sticky sticky one. Taste is still bearable, but I still have to gulp down half a bottle of water afterwards.

The ULTIMATE FEVER medicine: Okay, this is the most horrible of them all. DAMN GROSS. Yellow colour one. And it's sticky, slimy, and tastes freakin horrible. Mum always had to standby one sour plum for me to chew after I drink this. Else I'll vomit it out. However, to take things in the positive light, this is the one medicine that motivated me to learn how to swallow tablets.

I still remember how mum taught me how to swallow tablets. She taught me to practise with chocolates. Failed horribly though, cos I always decide at the last minute, to chew it instead. Else damn waste ma. After a few tries she gave up lah.

My journey towards eating tablets, started with the FLU type. U know, the small small, oval one. Haha, I think I somemore broke it in half to swallow. Also practised with Po Chai pills.

Damn funny, when I had diarrhoea, I always ate Po Chai pills eat until I wanna die. Cos I can only swallow one at a time, accompanied with a gulp of water. So, 2 bottles of Po Chai pills= alot alot of water.

At that time I still couldn't swallow the humongous fever pills, but I die die refused to drink the liquid version. Then how? Melt the pill in alot alot of water and drink loh. Mum says it's not as effective this way but I guess I had rather died of fever than drink the horrible stuff.



Of my bad time at Tekong

Took over duty from Celest nice and sweet. Trouble came during evening comms check~ MCR Data down!!! (Er, is this like, leaking confidential information? Aiyah, I bet no outsiders know wad in the world I'm talking abour anyway) Anyway, IT'S ALL "THEIR" FAULT. Okay, so I had no choice but to hand over duty back to Celest in a screwed up state. Poor Celest. Oh, I fell sick halfway during duty too, to add to my mental torment. And I dunno why, but I alighted at the wrong bus-stop at Yishun on my way home. SO, wasted like 60 cents on bus-fare and wasted like 15 minutes walking to the correct stop after pretty much effort. Spent $22 at the clinic and got diagnosed with the usual fever, throat inflammation shit.

Took over from Celest on Friday, again, in a nice sweet state. He even had to write a report on the fault. Poor Celest. And SO, I carried on my duty. First day was sweet. Second day, MCR DOWN!!! What the @#!$^#^@!@!!?!?!?!? Note: Me still on medication =( And the screwed up thing is, this time, it's not "their" fault. It's er, MY FAULT~~ Seems like the problem lied with some connections on our part. Sigh, guess I was too used to "their" side making mistakes. Plus comms check that day was done so late, and it was already damn dark when they found out the fault. So I didn't do that many tests. And me was still on medication. So I very incorrectly assumed that fault does not lie with us. And so, for the second time, handed duty to Celest in a screwed up state. POOR Celest. He got the fault rectified in the early afternoon.

Sigh. But I feel so bad. And screwed up.

Sigh. One big lesson learnt. Never "assume" cos it makes an "ass" outta "u" and "me".
