I spent the whole day at home, trying to complete ONE Powerpoint presentation, and I'm not barely even near to completion. Gosh, I'm such a slow worker. Or maybe I'm just a perfectionist who isn't able to perfect anything. Ah, whatever.

My computer crashed on me two days back. I can't even switch on that piece of metal. Uh, maybe pieceS of metal, and some bits of plastic here and there too. I'm getting lamer by the second.

It's been quite a week for me. Met up with friends I haven't seen in quite a while, new swimming lessons, went with an old friend for jamming(or rather to listen to his band jam), played a whole afternoon of pool(Isaac taught Andre and I a new game played on the billiard table with poker cards and pool balls), attended iHope conference, attended a wedding, celebrated Grandma's birthday, plenty of church work, plus of course, the sad passing on of my IBM laptop. Bah.

I don't know what's wrong with me these few days. When I get home, I just want to lie on my bed and stare at the ceiling. And just stone. Till I have to get up and get things done.

Sometimes I wish I were back at work. Complaining about the long hours, the stupid customers and laughing with colleges, then coming back home telling myself I deserve a good rest for the hard day's work. Then all I would have to worry about is work. Nothing else. Just work.

Speaking of which, school term is starting and I've yet to find a part-time job. I think I'll just clear what I have to before looking for one.

Sorry, emo post today. I'll post a better one the next time round.

Signing out.

I finally got the belt I've been eying on for some time. It's a reversible belt from Giordano. Like it loads. :)

It's brown on one side and black on another, so just turn the buckle over and you get a new belt! Er, well, sorta. Ah, whatever, I like it. :)

I haven't swam in a long time. I went alone this morning to try and get myself back in the mood or momentum for exercising. Wah, I was gasping for air after a 2 laps. Bad bad bad. Plus my goggles snapped. Haha. Which gave me an excuse to end my exercise short. Hehehe.

After washing up and all, I bought a tuna bun at Cheers to eat. Trying to waste some time, I browsed through some magazines, and I ended up buying some fitness magazine. Teaches you what to eat and how to carry out the workouts required.
Haha. I think I'm becoming a despo. Not good.

Anyway, I went to Douby Ghaut to meet Jie up after that. Wah, waited for her for over an hour! Goodness, I almost died of boredom. Ok, I exaggerate. Anyway, Jie wanted to get shoes to fit her dress she bought, so yeah, little brother must follow big sister lor.

Met Alan at Takashimaya while walking around with Andre, waiting for KC and Eileen baby to come meet us for dinner together. After dinner, we still had some time to spare, so we walked around a little, and since my goggles snapped in the morning, I had to buy a new pair.

Yup, so I got one.

Gosh, I've been spending quite a lot recently. I needa budget. x.x
That's about today.
Time to hit the sack. Zzz

I was on the phone with Eileen Baby just now.
I asked, "Baby ah, now hor, I feel as though I kinda like have no friend liddat leh."
And she went, "Got meh?"
My natural reply would be, "God in heaven la."
Then she made a comment that made me go speechless for a moment.
She said this, "There, God your friend already mah. Not only that ah. He's your councilor, your everything also leh."

Sometimes it is easy to put out of mind that we have such a great God who is there for us. Waiting for us to just look to Him for comfort and strength. Good or bad, ups or downs, He's there to listen and He's ready for us to share. And best of all, to genuinely be a friend to us.

Ok, ok. Enough emo.

......

Today was good. Morning message was refreshing, and re-emphasizing the need to stand firm in all situations, whether in private or in public, really spoke to me. Uh, but I was late for service today la. Hee.

After service, I spent some time talking with Lydia, Maki and Andre while we had our Lunch. We had...uh...rather interesting topics. Chemistry, Kim Chi, bimbos, cockroaches, yea you get the picture.

Uh huh, anyway, it was down to City Hall with Andre to meet up with KC and Brian, then to Bukit Gombak to collect KC's keyboard. Gamers and their expensive hobby. Hehe.

Brian left to meet a friend up and Eileen Baby met us in between.

We had fun bowling over at Marina Square. Oh oh oh, and the Tim Sum's at "Bao Today" was yummmmy! Uh...but kinda ex la. KC ordered. ;p

The night was spent at Grandma's.

That's the day. :)))

What a long boring entry. I think I'm falling asleep writing it. Zzz...

I got this from Alan's blog. Interesting.

Let my fire not be put out. Or should I say, renew the fire once again. I have to re-learn to let go, and let God. I've put God out of the picture one too many times. Teach me to trust You, and rely on Your great strength always.

I'm back from my short trip to Malaysia. It's been a tiring day. Quite boring to be honest. The shopping malls are pretty empty, and the number of sales assistants are more than the number of people served in the shop. Wonder how their business survives.

Anyways, first stop, Jusco. The place was quite big. Their layout looked similar to VIVOcity. The prices of their items there were pretty expensive actually. Some I'd say are even more expensive than the items in Singapore. Imagine a FILA polo tee going for 269RM - that's like $100plus SingDollars leh! Gosh, not like it's Ralph Lauren or something right?

But looking on the bright side, lunch at Kenny Rogers was good, and we managed to catch a movie titled "Next" starring Nicholas Cage. I thought the movie was really really good. Some of the reviews didn't really agree with me, but it's ok. I enjoyed the show. :) The plot was just so cool, the feeling of making the impossible happen was just, 'woh...', know what I mean? Plus, 'Liz' played by Jessica Beil was drop dead gorgeous. That was like topping for the ice cream. Uhhh...bad example.

Yeah, coming back now. Dinner was at a different place. Some restaurant named 'vivo pizza'. Umm, the food was ok la. We made our way back soon after. I didn't buy anything, so I kinda felt that the shopping part was boring. Hmm... Looks like I only enjoyed the movie. Haha.

Time to get some rest. Gym tomorrow. :)

Recently, I've been sleeping late and waking up late. Which probably explains why I'm feeling so lethargic these few days. It's been such an emotional roller coaster recently, I feel like shutting the world off.

I promised my colleges over at Hang Ten Bishan that I'd burn them a new audio CD, coz the songs played there were getting really boring over time, plus there's already something wrong with the disc. x_x I haven't got the CD burnt for them yet. I'm a bad boy. I shall get it done by tonight.

I went for dinner at AMKhub with Andre and Lyana yesterday at some sushi place. Food was great and we had quite a lot of catching up to do. Gosh, I'm beginning to miss SFMS. Anyway, I saw this phone that caught my attention. It's really sleek and nice. Unfortunately, so was the price.

Ooooo... I like...
The new Nokia E65.
This is the best picture I could find. It's nicer in real life.
Just wish it wasn't so pricey. Otherwise it would be in my pocket right now. Hehehe.

My aunt just went to the States a while back and she brought back for me some stuff that I really really liked. :)))

Check it out!

There's a place named after me! How cool's that?


Oh, plus a really really comfy polo tee. I'm quite crazy over polo tees nowadays, which surprises me a little sometimes. I keep looking out for them when I at shopping centres. Which explains why I really like this present too. :)))

Family's gonna go to Malaysia for a short holiday tomorrow. Hope it'll be good.

The harder your heart gets, the better you see things and the clearer the picture gets. Wonder if it is true.

I once told myself, "People make life complicating for themselves, that's why they find life so complicating." But now, I feel that life is just so complicating. Am I making it difficult for myself?

Whatever that has been said, whatever that has been done, I can't take it back now.

A splitting headache and an irritating fever, plus tired lungs due to all the sniffing. I feel so miserable now. I meant to enjoy today. Didn't turn out so well.

I hope tomorrow will be a better day, and that I'll be able to withstand the whole day.

I've showed myself out, now I don't know how to go back in. Please show me the way?

Life.

IT IS FINISHED!

Ok, ok.. Enough drama.. I just finished the last day of my contract today and I'm really really happy and relieved.

I'm having a really bad flu right now. Again. My eyes are watering and my nose is like a running tap(maybe I exaggerate). Yea, but anyway, I'm quite thankful I didn't get sick halfway through the contract. Last day, yeah, whatever. Woohoo!
It's been a looooooong day and I think I truly deserve this rest. :))

Special thanks to Andre, KC, and my Baby Eileen for specially taking time off, and coming down to visit me during my dinner breaks. Thanks a million ka-zillion. :))

I've learnt quite a few things from working at Hang Ten.
1. My spoken Mandrin improved quite a lot. (Or so at least I think)
2. Articulate your words loud and clear. It shows you are confident.
3. Don't be afraid if you don't know how to phrase your sentence right. Just whack la.
4. NEVER get involved with company politics.
5. You can't choose your customers, and you can't choose your boss.
6. If you have your rights, and you're being pushed too far, demand for your rights!
7. Always talk nicely to sales staff, especially in the evenings. They've gone through enough irritating customers for one day. (Imagine having to fold all the clothes the customers make a mess out of, and on top of that, attending to a few demanding "Ah Soh's" at a time. You'll go nuts.)
8. ALWAYS (if possible) research on the staff welfare of the company before joining it. (Especially the big ones. Small company a bit hard to look up la.)
9. Not everyone is so privileged to get a temporary job just to make EXTRA cash. Some people are quite hard up. Really hard up. Be thankful and treasure what you have. (They barely make ends meet. Better start counting my blessings.)
10. Look at your current responsibilities before taking up one more.

That's about all I can think of right now. But I know one thing. I am never ever working on a contract basis with HT ever again.

I'm simply exhausted right now, but I missed using the computer so much, I can't stop.

Now that I've completed my contract, there's so much more things for me to do again.
-Training to prepare myself for NS next year.
-Not to hide anymore, but take up the responsibility I have for the preparation of the E-campaign.
-Study for Commerce and English for the end of year O levels. Again.
-Study for Diploma.
-Spend time with friends and family.
......and the list goes on.
But I guess to sum it all up, I need to prioritize and I need good time management. Too many things, too little time.

Yes, yes, yes! Gonna watch 'Spiderman 3' tomorrow! It was sweet of Eileen to wait till after my contract, so we could watch it together. Thanks Baby! :))

As promised, pictures are up. Sorry if it's a little late. :P









I really should get sleep right now. Dreamland is waiting, and my body is just crying out for rest. Signing out.
