a blessing in disguise

I wonder if it is a blessing in disguise, but my computer is down, like again.

It’s less than a week or perhaps a week plus 1 or 2 days since it was repaired, and i was told that my computer kana virus which will make the computer system unstable and cause it to hang.

And thanks to that, i finally sat down and use my 5 years old Fujitsu laptop. I got sick of surfing the internet, and decided to look into my files and folders hoping to find something nice.

And voola! I found a copy of my first final year project report. Without much hesitation, I open and read it. That was when emotions filled me, and I had flashbacks on times that we had together during our shoots and all.

I remembered at that time, I was heavily involved in my Student Council, really heavy. And because I have a useless assistant, most of the time I will have to do eveything and neglect my FYP team at times. But seriously, I really appreciate their understanding, and put up their tolerance with me so that we can finish our FYP sui sui.

No doubt that we had rainy days, but we know what will come after that; sunshine. And sunshine feels really good and warmth.

Great having you all as my team, and i seriously love you all.

Indeed, Queensway shopping mall really sell sports product cheaper compared to other places, and there are really good bargains around.

Oh btw, my computer broke down about a week ago, and cost of repair: $339. I think I’m gonna cry.

Google chrome is awesome

Just as i thought Firefox is better then IE7, but their new updates is shit. Now Firefox takes up ram too much, and I personally feel the lagness. Most of the time, i ended up closing Firefox via End Task function.

And now, i found Google chrome.

And I’m lovin’ it now, period.

Daybreakers

I really need to learn how to take care of my earphones; mine’s lifespan is really too short. My brother can use it for almost 1 year, and mine was like 6 months? Even if i brought a really kick ass earphone, but I’m afraid it won’t last long. Tell me how.

No subtitles, and that’s probably the cons of the show. But it’s indeed a pretty awesome show. I din know explosives could be attached on to crossbows and iron bridget. =)

The new love…

A new genre of popping.

Finger tutting, that is it.

But i still prefer bboy. =)

Some serious thoughts.

With 10 more months to ORD, i believe it’s time to think how I can spend the remaining time wisely, like totally. I’m enjoying army kind of life, 8am – 5pm work style. And the best of all, I will be nothing to do at all after falling out. That is why I say army will make me stupid, because after work i can play like nobody’s business.

And because of that, I need to spend my time wisely.

1. Learn cooking

My mum is a great cook, and as her son I think I should really have some of her traits. Although incomparable to those chefs at restaurant, but home cook food is seriously the best food on Earth. A guy who knows how to cook is a plus point, and the fact that younger generation of girls who knows how to cook are getting lesser and lesser, or even extinct already. So I should make myself the ‘rare’ breed of guy that know how to cook. =)

2. Gym, gym, and more gym.

It’s thanks to gym that I’m able to grow bigger. Fyi during my year 1 and 2 in poly, I was a freaking bamboo stick. Weighting 5x kg with a height of 178m, it’s freaking underweight. When i was in year 3, Wednesday were off days giving by the school for us to complete our final year project. So I hit the gym in the morning, and went for my FYP meeting in the afternoon. And all of these continued for a solid 9 months.

Indeed, it takes lots of discipline and determination to do it, and hopefully I can do it. Afterall, IT’S FREE OF CHARGE!

Can’t think of anymore, brain’s dead.

2010

Happy New Year people!

Frankly speaking, I do not have a single resolution in my head now, because i somehow know that I won’t stick to those ‘rules’.

But i believe that 2010 is a really good year to look forward to, BECAUSE I’M GOING TO ORD IN OCT! Approx. 10 months to go, and seriously I can’t wait to get out of army asap. There are so many things that we as a NSF, is unable to do. And to name a few:

• Own a camera hp. You might say we can switch sim card during weekends, but it will damage the card. Plus it’s so so so so so troublesome. I’ve done it before, and it sucks. I will have the tendency to forget charging the hp battery, and when i need to go out on weekend, i realise that i forget to charge. Same goes when i need to go back army on Mon. Gg
• Long hair. Army is machiam secondary school, and enchiks will check on your attire and hair. I’m not talking about those exotic and long hair. Even when I feel that my hair is not long, but i had to get it cut because it does not meet certain requirements. Period.
• Ridiculous allowance. $4xx as start out, and depending on ranks and vocation it varies from $4xx to $1xxx. Sad to say, I’m in the lowest category. Tell me how you can survive with that kind of allowance.

Oh ya, I hit Rebels on new year day, and i kind of getting back the clubbing ‘feel’ I had while MOS is still around. Because the layout of Rebel is so alike to MOS. Everything doesn’t seems to matter when I hit the dancefloor when the alcohol kicks in, but I must admit it’s really tiring and high cash consuming. Might be going there again soon because I have a friend who is going to open a bottle or 2 there. If i had earn more, I would have open another one.

Zamn.

And ya, it’s 4th Jan tomorrow. Back to rush hour dudes and babes! =)

Yr 2009 in review

Right.

While others are still thinking about their new year resolutions, I have decided to review my year 2009 and still thinking about my new year resolutions at the moment.

2009 had been a really good year for me, especially for the fact that I turned 21.

21 is an age that a person that has break free from being consider as minors, and granted full rights of an adult. Which means that we are”

• eligible to be jailed if convicted in court.
• deducting $2 monthly from our bank account if our savings are less than $500.
• die die also must vote during general elections.
• $1 must be deducted from our monthly salary for CDAC funds.

Just to name a few, and the list could go on.

Love life, no luck. But I think it’s ok because I’m not a despo. I should know where I stand before getting one girlfriend. IMO once attached, guys will generally have to buy 2x (insert item), which I’m not that financially stable and funded enough to do that. Sucks to be attached, and I’ve heard some of my friends who broke up with their partners said singlehood is much much more shiok. Amen to that.

Basketball wise, best achievement in CSC so far. 2009 was a very good start for my CSC, players were motivated and awesome. And of cause getting into top 24 wasn’t an easy task either. But i thanked my players for being understanding towards me. Captain will make mistakes too, but because of their understanding, I can learn from my mistakes and to learn from them as well. Of cause, there are still rooms for improvement too, which i hope that in 2010 we can achieve more and play better as a team.

And of cause, not forgetting…

First half of NSF year pass relatively fast. You couldn’t say it was short, nor it was long. But because we are still in the process of settling down from BMT to our vocation, and our vocation to our unit. All these things add up to around 8-10 months, which you could put it in a way that 1 year is almost up. I never regreted being an armor technician. No doubt that it is consider the most xiong-gest vocation of all technician, but I was  happy when I were in Sungei Gedong.

Thank God, I’m lucky to be posted to air force, and my camp is very accessible from my house. Sucks that armor camp to be in Sungei Gedong, and sucks that Sungei Gedong had to be in such an ulu place. If it were to be the location of my current camp, I will be more than happy to stay in SG. Life in air force is heaven, as explained by their slogan ‘Above all‘. Shiok shiok.

And last but not least,

Basketball takes up too much my of weekends time, especially on Sunday. And even if there are no trainings, I would have played too darn hard on Saturday nights which result in me unable to wake up early. I need to think hard on this aspect, like seriously.

That pretty much sums up my 2009. And next to look out, my new year resolutions. =)

Happy New Year to all =)

White studio @ Fort Canning Centre

We had so much fun taking photos, because the walls there is so white. All photos turn out to be exactly like a studio photoshoot. But the travelling distance is a bit far and everyone sweated like no one’s business.

Happy Birthday Mel! Welcome to Club 21 =)

it’s over, finally

You know you know….

I have been eating a lot of junkies recently, and I kinda miss my mum’s cooking because I have been eating out everyday. Food outside are not as healthy as home cook food, especially high in calories! This is bad.

I was 75kg before i was enlisted, 69kg after BMT, and 72.4kg now. See how much junkies can cause you to increase in weight. And because it’s a raining season now, morning PT in camp is always canceled, and I always ended up not doing anything constructive to my physical fitness. That explains why I’m starting to gain weight.

I seriously need to work out sometime this week before it hits 2010, but it’s still dependent on my determination.
Mind over body they said, but what if your body doesn’t want to move?
