I pissed Jo off today. i think i really did.

God save me. Okay, i dont have a god. whatever.

2008-08-13T23:54:00.003+08:00

Cleaned up Jo's extremely messy room. i think someone just beat me to Title of the year for being Messy. Was travelling home on the MRT from TAMPINES and it had to stop at QUEENSTOWN. While i was figuring out what happened, i heard the most retarded message from the SMRT staff. "Passengers take the train at platform B to PASIR RIS." Oh right, i think i just made my way home from that area so wtf you telling me that for? Majority of the passengers were stranded on the platform heading towards Jurong and there wasn't any message to address the situation. First, the speech is grammatically incorrect, then they have an indian woman who can't enounciated her words clearly. With an IQ below that of a normal being, it doent take too hard to guess why she sits in a room all day looking up at screens watching track jumpers.

Oh and by now you should had realised what happened. As expected, the next stop at commonwealth there were lots of police trying to cordon the area off. Although i can't be sure it's a suicide, i can be fairly certain someone jumped. To top it off, some fucking indian guy sat at the entrance of the train with a motorcycle helmet.

There's a saying; "Once you go Black, you never wanna go back." Want to know why? Because when you go black, you don't have the intelligence to turn yourself back.

I had decided. I will do my fucked up diploma in management at SIM. Oh yeah, i had heard lots about people having double degree and i guess i will be the "entrepreneur" by getting 2 diplomas. At least from there i have choices to head on to whichever Uni and course that im interested in. (i have to score an average B in my cert) Hopefully laziness and stupidity stay a mile from me while im at it.

Seriously lah, i too complacent before. i was thinking that any private institution will take me in if i "pay" them. Now when i get the sucker punch from them, i realised that these "guys" also have standard. Oh well, i will just hide my tail between my ass. Dont have a choice do i?

I will burn down the school after i get my degree.cheebye. HAHAHHA.

random-ness

2008-08-05T04:11:00.003+08:00

Roller coaster week for me. Received news that with my fucking diploma cert i would not be able to enroll into SIM. Speak about "easy-ness" to get into private institution and i will be faced with this scenerio.

Bad gradings, unrecognized cert, seriously lah, god can't even save me from this shit. Been told to retake my diploma at SIM, now i even doubt my fucking ability to get a space to start my diploma.

Seriously fuck myself and the state im in lah.

Im too dissappointed and depressed to even think.

passing of grandfather

2008-07-21T20:56:00.002+08:00

Tiring week for me. My grandfather has just passed away on the 16th july. Kinda sudden as i received a call in the morning and being informed that he has some respiratory problems and might not make it through. Dad came back to pick me up and went down my granddad's place. Apparently he died pretty peacefully as he had some breathing difficulties and no1 knew when did he officially died.

Lots of drama from my relatives over money issues, and acting from a particular person. I think watching too much drama shows can really make a person act like that. Glad everything is over finally. A little sad that my grandfather has passed away, but at his age i guess anything can happened.

Wong Yin, 90
You will be dearly missed.

a new beginning.

2008-07-12T14:17:00.002+08:00

Right Here In Taiwan

oh my god. yanmingwong. i shall proudly annouce that I've officially spent about $160 for you. Hahahahhahas....

Anyways, it's been a very long time since anyone has updated HIS blog. And since im almost dead bored waiting for my return flight back to sg from taiwan, im in this internet cafe that only charges NT150 (SG7.50) for use of this com from 12mn to 8am! Adding in the incentive of free flow drinks, it's just DAMN CHEAP. Hahhas. Oh yes. Got to thank my cousin for sponsoring me salted popcorn. Completes a meal =)

Im almost broke and have decided to take yanmingwong's advice to just let him use his miserable pay to 'yang wo'. Hahhahas.. shopping here is like superb. You can get branded jeans for like 30+ SGD. Check out yanmingwong's up and coming new clothes and their prices. Friends, you'll be crying your eyes out.

Anyways, i miss yanmingwong. Like how i describe him to Nic, he's just disgustingly adorable. And at times like this, i'll miss his crappy-ness. oh well.

Anyway, ppl, you should try catch the new movie from Rainie Yang and Isabella Leong. . Although it's a lesbian movie about tattoos, it's quite nice. Titled : Ci Qing (Spider Lilies).

Oh yes, and for friends who have missed out on my yanmingwong for quite some time, he's really doing quite well. Especially with the big bomb that i'd proudly spent on his behalf. Hahs. Im such a nice girlie. Nice hardworking girlie.

And pple, im working at this salon at holland village now. So if you need anything cheap or even free (about your hair), just ask me and i can check out for any empty slots available. So far, we have free haircut sessions, $20 colour or perm sessions, etc. These are actually for the stylists' trainings.
PS: Yanmingwong, please book a slot tt you're free asap can.

Faith,

Turning Point Day

well.. yesterday the 29th of sept was an important day both yanmingwong and I have marked. It's our turning point day.

We could have lost sth today, but we have gained ALOT MORE in return. You'll know what we've earned dear. And what you've gained back from me. For me, I've realised so much about our love and YOU. May the unhappy memories from the past rest (rest doesnt implicate forget. while not forgetting doesnt implicate bringing it up over n over again). we shall savour the sweet future we may have together. It's Turning Point Day so we should 'restart' our lives. We'll learn to understand, compromise and accomodate more, while improving on other aspects of our lives too. Jia You! Jia You! Jia You!

with love that will last a long long time, we shall grow together while still keeping promises and good pointers from the past. Well, we didnt have a very bad past. But it wasn't perfectly smooth sailing. Like I say, in everything, there's some goodness that we should remember & keep to. Then, there comes the bad parts of it that we should remember & improve from. People should then bring up the goodness over n over again, while leaving bad things to remain where they should. Then, everyone will be happy. And, the world will be a better place.

Hmmm, as for me myself, im super elated. my bro's finally back from taiwan after more than a year! His flight arrived at 3am. I almost fainted at the airport. Hmmm, for yanmingwong, i guess, he'll be less happy (even when he said he was happy for me). lol. the rest of the family may have accepted u, but, my bro's the REAL test. Bro's a science guy who's very realistic and pragmatic. so to qualify, you must have the 'qualifications'. may god bless yanmingwong so he'll be able to pass the test. afterall, we've promised (to ourselves) that we'll work hard for the future together =)

Well, but my busy day had made me guilty of not wishing 2 of my dear friends 'happy birthday'. But since dearie yanmingwong has consoled me that I'm not exactly at fault, I'm alot happier now.

Well, dearie, i dont say this often. But, thanks alot for always being there to give me love, care, concern and support even when you're stressed up abt life yourself too. I know you worry my worries, and i do too yah?! Hmmm, and of cause, thanks to friends who stood by us and gave colours to our otherwise very dull life. Now, the world's already a better place. And Im a happy girlfriend of a happy boyfriend =)

love, me.

Love - You Decide

Red as roses will be,
The feelings resides.
In solitude, in serenity,
Tranquility dawned upon a flustered soul.

Friend or foe,
it takes a toll.
Silence or solace,
it erect walls.

Fly away as you would fall,
Shuffle away as you would crawl.
Break away as you would brawl,
Drift away as you would, doll.

Fettered you'll forever be,
the paraphernalia of love.
For you'll forever be wandering the emptiness,
Of days you call your life.

kid

2005-11-16T03:59:00.000+08:00

A kid who passed by a sweet shop happen to fancy this lollipop. he wanted it so badly but he doent wanna tell anyone about it. it so happen that another kid wanted to buy it as well, it was the last in stock. The other kid was his good friend and he was confused to let him have it, or to be selfish and save it for himself. It was a really difficult decision but he decided to buy it for himself. Wad he didnt realised, this special lollipop was too expensive for him to afford and not for sale. Dissapointment filled him and he started sobbing and cried profusely over it. after a period of time, he realised that no amount of whinning would get him the lollipop he picked himself up and started reflecting. Wads the pt of hoping for the lollipop to drop from the sky and wishing for the impossible. He then decided to move on and continue searching for another lollipop.

NEW FOUND GLORY -UNDERSTATEMENT

I'm Sick of Smiling And so is my jaw
Can't you see my front is crumbling down?
I'm sick of being someone im not
Please get me out of this slump
I'm sick of clapping
When I know I can do it better for myself
I'm sick of waiting Sick of all these words that will never matter
I wire all these nerves together Hoping for a chance to think on time And I'm tracing over your letter To see if your intentions are as good as mine
But you're getting worse I swear it It's hard to prove you're an understatement
You're getting worse and I know That you'll be calling, calling, calling me again
I'm done with everything
That had to do with you
Don't worry you pictures are already burned
I'm done with new friends
Don't sell yourself short You'll lose it in the end
I wire all these nerves together Hoping for a chance to think on time And I'm tracing over your letter To see if your intentions are as good as mine

ah anger management, thats wad i need.. been getting that from ppl around me.. its getting out of hand lately or previously i've got no idea and i seem to be throwing all out at any1 just to vent my fustration.. if its only so easy to hold back i would've done so and i seriously need some help about it.. had a major quarrel with my parents and i threw some stuff and broke the potrait in my house, and strangely it had the world "fu" for harmony..i dont know if its a bad omen or anything but i have not been talking to my parents after that.. its not that i feel good by venting out my fustration on others but i think all the faults all lies with me.. i guess its inevitable before i start losing friends 1 by 1.. "i will change i will promise." i dont think this is a phrase that i will use now as i know myself too well..i will just bite myself back but i guess i have to try and make way for changes or it will be too late.. hoping for ppl to be more understanding, no i will not. praying for myself to turn for the better? yes i will.

History of the NKF

The story of NKF began in the early 1960s. Dr Khoo Oon Teik, a nephrologist desired to
help kidney patients turned into reality in 1969 when he and a cohort of friends
successfully established Singapore's first dialysis unit at the Singapore General Hospital.
The late Encik Yusof Bin Ishak, the first President of the Republic of Singapore and
patron of the Foundation, officially inaugurated the NKFS in Singapore on April 7,
World Health Day. In the same year, Dr Khoo and a group of volunteers organised a film
premier to raise funds to establish the first NKFS dialysis unit in Singapore, which was
located in the attic of the Singapore General Hospital (SGH). The National Kidney
Foundation, (NKF) then became the largest charitable organization in Singapore which
established the world’s first public-funded subsidized dialysis programme.The NKF is
the largest not-for-profit dialysis provider in the world and their dialysis programme
constitutes the core of our services. Other services and programmes include preventive
healthcare, organ donation advocacy, Children’s Medical Fund, research and
development in renal medicine, nursing education and research, MBA Internship
Programme and Cancer Fund.

Introduction

The NKF episode was sparked off by an article by Ms Susan Leong, a senior writer of the
Straits Times who wrote the article, “The NKF, Controversially ahead of time?” which
questioned the chief executive of the charity organization, T.T Durai of his actions and
incentives. Durai was infuriated by the article and attempted to sue the writer for it and
the case had a huge coverage by the ST. Through the court through investigations, many
issues like Durai’s yearly bonuses and extravagant trips overseas on first class airline
seats were revealed. The revelation caused massive outcry from the public and caused the
government to look further into the matter and have the board of directors from the NKF
to resign.

The start of the NKF saga

The case centres around an article in the Straits Times published on 19 April 2004
entitled "The NKF Controversially ahead of its time". And first to take the stand was the
NKF's CEO, TT Durai who made some startling revelations during cross examination by
SPH's Senior Counsel Davinder Singh. The article in question was written by SPH's
journalist Susan Long, whom NKF is also suing. It had an account of a contractor who
had been hired to install some bathroom fittings for its new headquarters in 1995. NKF
says the article had many falsehoods and half truths. Micheal Khoo and partners, lawyers
of the NKF then demanded a public apology from the ST claiming that the article was
highly defamatory of both the organization and Mr.Durai. But Monday's hearing was
more than just about toilet fittings. It was a public scrutiny of how the NKF is
administered and run, the travel patterns of its senior executives and the chief executive
officer, and what salaries were paid to the CEO in the last three years. The court heard
that CEO Durai got a twelve month bonus last year and between 2002 and 2004, he
would have earned close to S$1.8 million. From the outset, Senior Counsel Davinder
Singh who is acting for SPH, emphasized the importance of transparency and public
accountability on NKF's part as every cent which NKF spent came from public donations.
Several senior officials from NKF were in court to follow the proceedings, including its
patron Mrs Goh Chok Tong And they were all questioned by the court for Durai’s actions.
On the 2nd day of the trail, the case ended as Mr Durai and NKF dropped their lawsuit. SPH further request that the payment for the legal cost of the trail would be made by Mr. Durai own pocket and the those on the NKF side to be bare by the executive member of the boards and that in no way should the payment come from the people’s money.

Media coverage on the Straits Times

Media coverage on the issue by the Straits Times were given better prestige before other news as this issue involved the SPH and their writer, their reputation was partly at stake and therefore they wanted to clear the misunderstandings if there were any. As the SPH is the largest newspaper company, there’s a possibility that higher percentage of the people are readers of their newspaper and therefore they could influence and shape reader’s perception. By playing the issue into their favour, like using headlines which renders them uninvolved in the dispute, like “THE PEOPLE VS T.T DURAI”, which now brings in the public and influences them to turn against Durai. As headlines create a major impact on people’s impression of the news, it also enables them to pull supporters to them. By, putting Mr.Durai in the limelight, instead of focusing on the article written by the the SPH’s writer, it manages to save the integrity of the writer. By the shift of attention, the public forgot about what had started the issue, and instead focuses on the articles on Mr.Durai with his lavish spending and outrageous paychecks. The ST also manages to portray itself as a “investigator” which uncovers the truth for the public and calls for the transparency of the NKF which enables the public to know more about the incident. Although most of the issues are on Mr.Durai, the ST also shifted its attention onto the NKF. From one of the headlines of their articles, it says “Mr.Durai replied: ‘This is a decision made by the board. I use the entitlements.” It meant that the fault lies with the board of directors from the NKF, which granted Mr.Durai the privileges and therefore was trying to push the fault on the directors. It also had a comment by Mrs Goh Chok Tong, patron of the NKF which said his pay was peanuts. This comment was highlighted in the article and it sparked a major outcry against her. It made people think that they were in support of Mr.Durai and were the people who approved of his salary and felt it was fair for him. As a charitable organization, the straits times also stressed on the importance of them not being a business, but a non-profitable organization. By letting Mr.Durai earn that amount of salary, it’s of no difference being a CEO of another business-profiting company. However, The Straits Times tried to balance things up afterwards by giving some sympathy coverage to T.T. Durai. The Articles on 15th of July showed the sympathy people have for him especially those within the NKF organization itself. Staff showed the respect that they have for him when he offered to step down from his CEO position so as to revive the image of the NKF. The headlines were “Tears and gestures of support as CEO announces resignation”. Although there were a few articles on “good” reporting for the NKF and Mr.Durai, the ST was mostly bias towards them and therefore unable to create a balanced reporting.

Social and Political aftermaths

ThE National Kidney Foundation (NKF) is fast becoming a fortress under siege with
thousands of supporters deserting it, abusive red graffiti being painted on its headquarters
and pressure mounting on its CEO to step down. For now, the NKF board is standing by
the man it sees as an asset. The foundation insisted that Mr T T Durai was not given the
chance to tell his side of the story in court even though it was his decision to abruptly
drop the defamation case against SPH. But, anger against the NKF is brewing. The first
sign of trouble came at 6am yesterday, when the front wall of the NKF's headquarters at
Kim Keat Road was vandalised with red graffiti screaming "Liar". While this was later
covered up, more drama followed. As its board of directors scrambled to contain the
damage, about 3,800 donors want to cancel their monthly donation to the NKF. An
outraged public also voiced their displeasure online more than 15,700 people have asked
for the man at the centre of the storm the CEO, Mr Durai to quit over the uproar he
ironically created himself. All this, after a two-day trial had focused on his $25,000
monthly pay and 12-month bonuses, on undisclosed business dealings, expensive toilet
fittings and first-class travels. Fervent supporters, however, prefer to separate the man
from the organisation. Amid rumours that Mr Durai had unsuccessfully tendered his
resignation, NKF chairman Richard Yong again pledged his support for the CEO. The
board is also understood to be discussing ways to clarify certain doubts that have arisen
from the trial. For instance,the chairman of its Children's Medical Fund board, Dr Gerard
Chuah, had wrongly claimed that the NKF had 3,000 patients, NKF's chairman Mr Yong
had, in fact, used the correct figure of 1,800 patients in a letter that appeared on the same
page. Inevitably, the whole NKF episode has also cast a pall over the charity movement
in Singapore. The National Council of Social Service said it has received several calls
from donors who have concerns about how charities manage donations. Meanwhile,
some NKF donors have called to switch their allegiance to the Kidney Dialysis
Foundation (KDF). Meanwhile, the show will go on in NKF, which is holding its final
fund-raising event to raise money for its cancer patients. For the first two shows over the
two weekends, it raised a total of $10.43 million. But Mr. Yong said he hopes the public
won't take it out on the patients as they have to continue their treatment and everything
must go on.

Governance of charity organisations

From this issue, it has shown that because of the lack of transparency, thus causing the
surge of public uproar as many people were kept in the dark and did not know what had
happened. It also meant that the government was not making an effort to look into the
matter and make sure that nothing was deemed “unacceptable” by the public. From the
issue, PM Lee hsien Long commented on it saying that it would be a new beginning for t
he NKF as well as more efforts will be made to ensure that charity organizations are not
breeching any of the clauses. Although the fault of this issue lies partly in the government,
it has done a good job in reassuring people into believing that they are capable and will
not commit the same mistake again.

Conclusion

Unity of mass public = Power & Pressure.
I am sure after this episode, the MPs and Ministers working for Singapore will not dare try for any gold-plated taps or first-class travelling anymore. And everyone would definitely learn the moral of the story - Be aboveboard and don't
hide anything. There are always certain skills needed for running organizations successfully,
especially BIG organizations like NKF. And yes, up to a certain level, Mrs Goh did
say it well ... for an organization that size, $600,000 annual salary for its CEO is peanuts. Up to a certain level. If the organization or charity is well-runned, the people in charge should be
compensated accordingly. In accordance with market rates, I agree. What we should be judging on is whether the person or people involved are able to use the money and donations effectively for its charitable purposes and aims. If they are capable, pay them.
The Board and CEO did not come across as aboveboard nor behaved with any perceived integrity. They behaved as if they already knew they would be
chastened by the public, which probably accounted for why they were so secretive about this whole issue of salary and compensation. If the $600,000 is justified in their opinion, announce it, and support it with evidence and not be worried about public uprising. They already knew that gold taps for bathrooms are not quite acceptable for bathrooms, whether public or executive usage. Especially not when they are paid for by money donated by general public. This is probably why a "no-comments" is the reply from NKF. They knew that it is not good sense to have NKF pay for the repairs and maintenance of their CEO's private car. That is why they are so tense and hush- hush about it. They knew that misrepresenting to the public about the state and potential duration of NKF's reserves is wrong. But no one took any effort to correct that
misrepresentation. When misrepresentation is deliberate, it is called lying. After the bad taste left by the lack of honesty and decency plus that no sense of shame, to all these late rallying and support for the CEO, I only have this to say:

Too little, too late.

frictions.

2005-05-28T17:17:00.000+08:00

friends =( another cliche again.. everything seems to be in a total mess for me right now.. It all started when some1 disconnected and caused the party to be dismissed. I had to stop him from esing to prevent getting ksed and no exp. I called him to explain and he got pissed and hung up. Few mins later, i received a msg saying i was selfish for doing that. I took the first step by apologising, i expect the 2nd to be followed up by u. Define selfishness - an act of one doing for himself and disregarding others. In fact, i actually partied our friends so that we could lvl together. Lets say, if i left u there to solo and the 3 of us were in another party, could i deem u as being selfish and taking all e exp urself? this is v subjective and i suggest u guys to rephrase ur words when accusing me of something. Another issue, u guys actually ganged up against me with rod when u all did not know wad happened? plz listen to both sides of the story and be unbias, i think u all are not doing justice to me by crucifying me when all is not known.Dating back to another incident, i cant believe u guys actually could make a joke out of me just because i wanted to leave the chalet. Try getting irritated and see how u will react, put urself in my shoes. So what if he's the person that likes fooling around, does it entitles him the rights to irritate as he please? that means if i am the victim of his social crap, i must put up with it? I hide my emotions infront of u guys because i don't know how u ppl would react. Keeping my mouth shut doent means everything is fine. Theres so much prejudice against me and i cant afford to blow my mouth off and add fuel to the burning fire.

A true friend walks in when the world walks out.

mother's day

2005-05-09T18:57:00.000+08:00

yesterday had 2 pretty important occasion, Mother's day and my friend, Yuan qi's birthday. As all my family members are busy with their own agenda, its down to me and my mom at home. Time for me to be filial i guess so i stayed home to accompany her the whole day and the thing i dread the most, dinner. Her cooking is extremely horrible and even ash would not even attempt to eat my mom's cooking. Oh well, so much for trying to be a good son..zzz...ate my dinner with her and went off to meet the rest at westmall to celebrate yuan qi's birthday. The words which i hate the most kept poping up in the conversations and all directed at me, "YOUNG". I heard the same repetition of it over and over again be it at school among friends, wads more? hey c'mon man, i know my birthday really late,just give me a break. I dun understand wad u guys gain from seeing my pissed off face whenever people do that. U guys have brains which are few months older then mine, but works like a 12 years old.

gaming

2005-04-24T06:29:00.000+08:00

Seems like gaming season is on again for me and it falls coincidentally similar to last year when i was a gaming freak around this time. Reason for that? getting really depressed because of my O level results. Anyway, partly due to influence from friends as well. Every1 around me now seems to be gaming as well, bahh..is this some kinda trend or wat? life is so boring.. because of stupid stanley, everyday after sch gotta go home really early just to accomodate his "BUSY" schedules. hey come on lah, your life is like revolving round your computer and u change soooo much! revert back to our usual selves lah, chill around our favourite hotspot, cine or something. "gates to heaven" is "your pathway to hell". u dun go to heaven by playing it dumbass.

life is soooooo dull......siggghhhhhh

gold band

2005-04-12T23:07:00.000+08:00

fark the dunearn band..they got gold for 3 consecutive years.. i hope they would get cop ( certificate of participation) and that will bring them down from their cloud 9.. bunch of morons that fill the stupid music room and bitch around in band forums.. no.1 producers of gayasses like illyas and so on.. especially to the alumnis, u guys suck so badly that u dun deserve any credits.. backstabbing me during band practices and pumping me for no reasons..U GUYS JUST SUCKS.

boringggg.

2005-04-09T12:57:00.000+08:00

2005-03-26T21:22:00.000+08:00

hey kids! my soul has revived. oioioi. don't run! lol. don't say i blog weirdly today. i've lost my blogging skills, i admit. there's nothing to deny anyway. HAHA. i know... it must be an irony seeing me blog again, after clicking on my url so many freaking times and not seeing any new updates. so this must be the biggest surprise. just be glad i'm still alive.
i'm a copymouse, absolutely. i was bored so i resorted to cheating during a test and landed up in a four-walled room with only a bench to sit and a mat to sleep, plus a plain white cracked ceiling. damn it. they don't even provide me with a phone, let's not say a cheapskate handphone. sharing bowels isn't a nice thing to do. that's totally grouse, i know. hell la.. i already did it out of no choice! Right, I did make minor changes and not copy wholesale but still got caught because the fat lady claims that I've bought the idea "don't run. it's right before you.", and mine was "don't walk. it's not before you. - " ok, this is so dumb. the fat lady probably just wants some accompaniment. she's an old virgin or you call her a socialite? hahaha. now you know why i've been away for sucha bloody long time. i wasn't hogging on games ... not such a game addict. i've changed my expertise to being copymouse. my 25 days was spent very well and wisely... i'm not so lazy to not even want to update. i'm just too occupied during the 25 days. right,
NO EXPLICIT CONTENTS. CENSORED. by the way, no internet excess either. how to update?! you people must have had enjoyed the 25 days without my evil, high-pitched, wicked laughter... but the fun will start again! lol..
horrible shit. i think i've said enough la. for further contents, you people needn't know... not necessary. HAHAHA. don't be some typical singaporeans ok... busybodies. GRRR. so don't tag and ask me la...
because. for the simple reason, it's just my soul doing the job. it won't reply. dumb asses! HAHAHA. your brains need a workout! it's more important to do brain excercises than to play a busybody. kidding, don't be so stuck up! lol..

ok, my sister's the best . she wants a reward.
best storyteller for yanming's blog of the year.

slipknot

2005-02-24T05:47:00.000+08:00

Slipknot looks like they have mops on their head and they're swinging them wildly. lol.. i wonder if they ever get a headache for doing that or serious gidiness. oh well, enjoy that mv wait and bleed. i think it sounds pretty nice ;)

teacher visiting.

2005-02-20T17:00:00.000+08:00

The visit to our secondary sch teacher's house was fun! we talked about our current lives and relive our younger days. Through the conversations then i realised that my teacher is teaching my brother? bah, should had brought him along. Big spread of food on the table and we cant finish. Reason? = kian hao told her we have 20 people coming! lol..not ur fault actually, many ppl backed out and the last moments. Speaking about this, i need to highlight a particular person. U have a tendency to be late and the cause of it is due to your sleep. I think u need to prioritise on the importance of your own issues. Your "no-shows" has also been getting to everyone and it doent reflect v well on yourself. Your friends are doing something for u, i think u should do something about it too. Anyway, I'm not doing any personal attacks against u, just wanna inform u about ur flaws. I hope u understand and dont hold it against me.

diliema

2005-02-18T02:32:00.000+08:00

i m at a crossroad of choices. many decisions i gotta choose and make. i always need some1 to make decisions for me as i'm v undecisive,but at the same time i dont like ppl knowing too much about my plans. i just feel i think too much sometimes and keep lots to myself. i m a v v pessimistic person and always expect the worst out of a situation. everything i do seems to go wrong right now and i'm feeling so messed up. i realised that i have not been giving my 100% in everything i do, v half-hearted =\ i feel like giving up everything and go MIA. i needa do lots on self-reflection. argh.

i m hopeless.

2005-02-16T10:18:00.000+08:00

LOL? 1 hour before the graduation project oral presentation i m blogging. Y? BECAUSE IT FUCKING SLIPT OFF MY MIND. i m so fucking ignorant that i can forget such a important matter.. THE WORST THING WAS NOT FORGETTING, IT WAS EVEN NOT DOING IT. Thanks stanley for reminding me the other day at swensens but i forgot about it again. i've let u down man and i feel so fucking pissed at myself. My responsibility and work, came all this way just to forget the oral presentation and fail the whole year. i cant even compare myself to a primary school kid who can remember his exams. i feel so fcking imature and the biggest joke of the day. i'm too ashamed of my mistake to face any1 and to tell my classmates i failed because i din attend the oral presentation. STUPID ME! fuk it.

china trip

2005-02-15T13:13:00.000+08:00

the china trip was crap.. my parents were kinda dumb, fancy bringing us to a chinese country when its chinese new year??! shops were closed and big crowds everywhere.. practically nothing to do and we wandered on the streets looking at the chinese new yr celebrations like eg, lion dances. Visited the great wall of china as well as tian men square.. actually wanted to catch a glimpse of the dead body of mao zhi dong but my mom's superstition didnt allow me to do so. aint good to look at dead bodies on chinese new year, oh well. 6 day of boredom and damn, i'm glad to be back in singapore. heh, miss ya guys man. i will try post the pictures if i'm able to find it =p

new year's resolution

2005-02-01T23:47:00.000+08:00

OK! here's my new year's resolution :

1) I will get less cheeky ( since i'm on high demand to change it =( )

2) I will not sleep so much and try staying awake 24/7

3) Get more active with my friends! (which i doubt they would)

4) Finish up on my advance dip if i cant get into ngee ann ( most probally i might not )

5) Get a car license when i turn 18

6) LAST OF ALL! MY GREATEST DESIRE! GET LAID!!! ( u all dun keh siao boys, u know every1 wants that =p )

ok.. i guess thats my plan, pretty short and sweet. dun crucify me about my decisions please!

introduction to my friends

2005-02-01T04:30:00.000+08:00

ok, i m just way bored. so i will just introduce the idiots that make up my friends. (name doent come in order of importance so dun come bitching to me if u r last, try that and i will wack the shit outta ya. u know i will.)

Rodney - The guy who laugh pretty much like me and looks like a butch (wadeva on how to spell it, idea was there). He sat with me during sec 4 and i guess thats when we started getting close. But this guy is hell of a loser. He alway get me into trouble before he does and always seems to get away with it. Remember that elbow huh? i will get back at u. i PROMISE. but it was hell of a fun being with u la.

Kok Beng- ahahahah..the way we met was hilarious. pinching ur cheeks and saying u damn cute..lmao oh man..but actually the start of our friendship began playing cs.. knifing each other was fun yea? he used to be v "ON!" 1 leh, but he seems to get lazier. i want more of the active kok beng la.. No u around abit sian leh, cos no1 like v enthu sia. so must bring out the dragon in u!~ (i want to see......2 DRAGONS!) ^^

Eng Chang - ok, i would say the most matured guy in our group. My personal protector as well! He always covering me up when the group is suan-ing me. Really thanks la, u stood up for me a couple of times and i really appreciate it. The neutral guy who always has the last say in decisions and well respected by all. But ur birthday coming la, so things change ya. dun blame us if we do something horrible =X

Eugene - the tall bastard who fell down while trying to hold the basketball rim and broke his elbow. dumb ass, if u cant hold it, dun try. has he's own catchphrase " dun want leh!" U know thats irritating and i hate it when u say that. i will kill u someday.

Kim Guan - hey penguin. i know u love showing off ur flabs but i think its time to do something about it. but thinking about it, u with hamtaro is pretty suitable. HAHAHAHA. One of e person i would confine in as i find him trustworthy. Theres something special about him though. He speaks v crudely but it makes sense. U used to speak too crudely and it made u some enemies, i think u should try sugar-coating ur words to some people. not all may like em.

Brandon Chen - i dunt know wad made u "love" me so much. u seem to have everything against me and u've the highest record for personal attack against me! anyway, i think u r changing la. u seemed much better then before. In ways of character and such, i compare with the past and i feel u've matured in a way. i'm burying the hatchet for all our grudges.

Calyn - oi AUNTIE! leh long leh long ah! zzz.. alright. it seems that u r into retail (put it in a nice way for u huh). Our dai bor of the group, who thinks that a trico of gunbound looks like a goat (wad e hell??!?) Fun-loving girl and definite SPASTIC. sometimes i wonder where r u from?

Huilin - ok bitch, i know u are my sister but that doent give u control over me. I dunno wads with her and she love abusing me.( u might be into SM..) argh. ok la. but i u treat me nice most of the time so i appreaciate u alittle la k? u r a stubborn-headed person, i feel that sometimes u cant accept other people's comment. Its just a comment so i hope u dun take it against me k?

Stanley - u've been mixing well with rod they all so i include u into this "circle of trust." lol. btw, u r my no.1 public enemy. U just cant resist suan-ing me cant u? Our infamous blue wand, who always gets e bullet when he misses. oh well, u know u r noob so just bear with it ya? my great pal at school whom we always have topics to talk about. Ur advices has been v helpful but it seems like some went wrong. haha. anyway, cheers to all my friends and we're into the year of 2005.

ok my dear classmates, i will write about u guys next time k? dun bitch at me, i will kill u all too.

this is horrible.

2005-01-31T01:41:00.000+08:00

"A man is not dangerous when he shows he's perverted" and therefore "A man is the most dangerous when he acts inocent." <--- Silent killer, keep low profile then go for the kill. HAHAHAHAHAH. omg..happened to be talking to a friend and he gave that statement. But, seriously la, i kinda gotta agree on that statement. Its pretty true guys if u really think about it. Those really freaking horny wankass love to wank whole day infront of the computer and acts like a angel infront of others. So girls, if u think a guy is really decent, better get your guards up. who knows he might be the next Rapist Idol? Anyway, people like me who are cheeky are v safe. Girls out there, come look for me when u r bored =D

my happy ending

2005-01-27T21:57:00.000+08:00

i finally ended my misery on e 26th january. i've been pondering on e question on continuing with my work at indochine. Done some reflecting on e pros and cons and even asking opinions from my close friend. Seems like e odds are against me working there. Working there has been a torment for me as i felt unhappy. I could not blend in well with the people there which resulted me in being quiet. its quite controversial as i m a mass comm student and i'm supposed to be good at it especially i've studied social behavioural studies -.- My job is assigned to being a food runner, which i hate because u dont learn much from it except cleaning filthy smelling cutleries and learning how to place plates on tables properly. Reason for being a food runner? :" u r too quiet, and u move too slow." RIGHT. i've even played down my ego and asked for a chance to prove my worth and get a shot at being a REAL waiter. It seems to fall on deaf ears. They continued with me being the food runner and occassionally me going onto the floor. I was on e brink of fustration and nearly walked off while on e job. It was pretty synchronised and my friends came into the picture. My friends began hanging out pretty often compared to the past where they game all day (no lifers! *u know who u r!*). They started calling me out and i began enjoy the life i was having. Anyway, it justified my reasons to quit the job. U cant have e best of 2 worlds, balancing between friends and work can be v strenous. Afterall, i'm just a kid right?

Thanks guys for giving me "LIFE!" and it better be good cos i've made a decision to stick with u all! I guess its a decision i wont regret. "regret wad u have not done but not wad u had done." quoted from stanley peh (XXXX~2005)

thanks

2005-01-24T02:54:00.000+08:00

ok..this entry is dedicated to Mr.Stanley Peh. Thanks for everything that u done for my blog. U've been a good bud for me in class and helping me whenever u could. really appreciate ur help man, u've covered me many times be it in attendance and our project work. it was never a mistake of mine to know u but a mistake of yours to know me LMAO. okok. Lets define stanley. A v helpful person who would lend a helping hand whenever u need 1 and some1 who is v generous. Never really seen him being keh gao and has v good temper, doent flair easily. But he's extremely sensitive to the sentence "blue wand ah?!" when he misses in gunbound. Pretty hardworking chap and a perfectionist. Anyway..i will be seeing u around soon and hope we will be in e same batch for e next intake in april ;) cheers. ps ( u suck at drinking too, so plz dun drink. u were drunk before me on christmas. lol)

friendship

2005-01-21T02:27:00.000+08:00

friendship is something which is a bond between a grp of ppl who has something in common in a way or another.It seems to me this bond is going to be broken soon. Recent problems between my friends have sparked me to write on it. They have been outcasting a friend whom they dislike. It really makes me wonder why would it happen only after nearly 6 yrs of friendship? was it because they have found too many flaws in him that entice them to break away from him? my grp of friends had always been the type who would follow each other's opinion. When 1 found fault with the latter, it tend to be contagious and they would find only realise the melancholy side of him. Is this supposed to be e correct mindset of a 18 yr old or just childish thoughts? in a unbias pt of view, i feel that there is nothing wrong with him except that he talks v crudely and wants respect from us. Friends who have been together for 6 yrs and doent have a mutual understanding between each other is ironic. When judging someone, u cant be bias and have reminisces about e past, but u need to judge by how he is NOW. it just hurts to see a friend who is gonna follow in e footsteps of the past 2. i guess this is reality, no pt savaging a relationship that wont last?

every1 deserve a chance.

DAY 1 : HEADACHE

2005-01-20T01:21:00.000+08:00

received a dog from my friend, Sara who could not keep it. A cross between a maltese and shi tzu. pretty adorable with a white coat and puny. Its female with a stupid name "ASH."

It got everyone calling her "ASH HOLE" which was quoted from e movie "meet the fockers." oh well, but it suited her very well. That asshole whines all day when she doent sees anyone. Bah, giving me a big headache on how to train it. My mom's pretty cool with the dog around but it isnt so for my dad. he seems to hate animals. Oh well, at least with a dog i have a companion and even ash doent like me she cant do anything, she's stuck with me. luckily dogs cant speak or i cant take another blow if she rejects me as well. The day continuesss......

this just sucks

2005-01-18T05:51:00.000+08:00

alright..kudos to myself for blogging -.- didnt thought i would be doing this..bahhh like they said,guys who blog only write nonsensical stuff or intellectual stuff.. i guess i would try a combination of both.. er steph quek, plz help me to customise my blog.. alrighty..i guess this is a start to my blog..
