Fri, sat sun...wow...

Its been such a long time since i last blog? Wow..
*Gasp* I went for a hair cut today and the result turned out to be terrible. My hair is SO short now that its like i'm back in training. Yes, that short. I look dumb now.. ArgH! I know its only hair, but it means everything to me!!! Oh, i thk it does..
Lemme see, what interesting things happened for the past week..
Fri: Had farewell dinner for Benjamin and Vincent, at the same time, it served as a welcoming dinner for Steven and Kelvin. After which, the whole office dropped by Far East Square for a couple of drinks. Ppl, u know i dun drink rite.. But somehow, my supervisor felt it was time to me to down alcohol down my throat.. Sabo me sia.. She ordered this drink called "Flaming Lambroghini" (However u spell it..) and when i was drinking it, the waiter was like, "You betta finish this up. Its $25 man.. Dun throw up k.." I was like.. "Wah.. So ex.." Yes, dumb response, juz like how my hair looks now. After the drinks, we went to catch a midnight movie "The Grudge", felt so shortchanged for the show. Nvm, dun wish to harp on that liao. Only reached home at 3am. Wow..
Sat: Had my 2nd lesson of driving. I thk the blog is gonna be a journal for all my driving lessons in no time. Haha. It was way much betta this time ard. Hardly stalled except for the few occasions. I'm getting the hang of it. I betta get the hang of it before i get HANGED by my instructor. Learn U turning but i only did it say, 6 times? Betta than nothing lar..
After lesson, headed back home to celebrate my grandmother's bdae.. Nothing reali much.. Juz a family gatherin and a dinner. But i guess i was too drained out from my previous nite out and therefore, i din reali enjoy as much as i shld.
Sun: Headed back to work. Sian, had to clear the PPCRs on TRAISI. From 10 till 7 i was in office clearin the stuff. Lunch was spent at Vincent's coffestall. Feeling happy for him coz he seem to enjoy tendin the coffestall for his mom. At least he smiled loads of times. Hm, freedom smelt so sweet. Can't seem to wait for my day.
After work, headed down to Parkway to check out the price of Samsung 800 something. The new sliding phone but it was juz way too expensive. Then Nokia 6260 caught my eye. Sleek but bulkly i should say.. Hm, keeping tabs on the new phones coming out.. Haha.

Tmr gotta go scout for new phones with Victor!

Reflections provide us with clearer clarity on who we are, what we want and how to go about doing it.

Driving..1st lesson...

Okie, here double the dosage.

Yest:

Had my 1st lesson of drivin. Man, was it terrible when i first started coz my car stalls almost at will, gotta admit its my fault as i'm still unable to master the half-clutch technique. Blame myself? Ya, kinda coz i feel so stupid. Wished i had more talent in driving. Grr.. Okie, my instructor a.k.a Uncle Tan was like.. "Step on the accelerator a little bit and then slowly release the clutch until biting pt. When the car starts movin, hold onto the clutch and allow the car to move a little while more before u release the clutch." A little bit on the acc?? Hm, okie.. So a little bit k.. "VrOom! VrOom!" Tt sounds like a lot of oil.. Doesn't seem like a little bit k..*panic panic* *Jerk Jerk* and then stalled. "Aiyah! U release the clutch too fast! Nvm, lets start again. Free gear, start engine" "VrOom! VrOom!" *Jerk Jerk* Stalled. I thk i'm more talented in stalling the car. Stress.. Gear changin wasn't much of an issue, but moving off from gear 1 certainly was, and still is.. I can actually stall the vehicle from red light - green light - red light again, this is terrible. Luckily, it was at Ubi and there wasn't reali much cars. Thk i realli got to master the half-clutch coz its all so impt! Give myself some time. Okie! That's it, by the nxt lesson - i will conquer the technique. Uncle Tan even asked me to drive to kembangan and that reali freaked me out. Hello?! It is onli my first lesson and u're asking me to deal with the big boys on the road?? On top of that, Eunos was having a mini jam and it certainly did not boost my confidence at all. Heck, i still managed to drive to the MRT station w/o stalling the engine. *Pat on my back, job well done for not stalling the vehicle on the main roads* I hope that did some good, blostered my confidence. I reali hope so.. No more stalling of engine, tt's a promise i muz make.

After dinner, headed down to PS to mit up with joe, hui and the rest for "White Chix", well, supposedly PS. However, when i was on the bus at city hall. Ming called me.."Hey, where are u now? The movie is not at PS, its at Bishan".. Ehrm... Bishan?? Wow, tt's nice, now i gotta make my way down to Bishan and i dun exactly reside near there. A promise is a promise, besides, they have already purchased the tix and since i haven't seen them all in quite a while, oh well, juz go lor. The feelin seeing them all, nice..nice.. Haha. The show ended at 11.45pm and i had to ask my dad to pick me home. Feeling kinda guilty bout' that. Btw, the movie was kinda lame but overall, not that bad.

Today:

Met up with lim jian, ronald and alex ix today. Baoyan and chris was suppose to turn up too but who knows wat happened to them. They juz kinda performed the disappearing act. *Phow* smokes.. Nvm bout' them. So we ended up playing pool and i thk i derived something. Mayb i shld juz quite playing pool.. Driving, cannot. Pool also cannot. Wat else can i do? Haha.. The onli time i won was the v last game before we left. After which, me and jian went to grab a snack, had a nice chat. Gosh, its been ages since we sat down to talk. Btw, i juz love miting up with frens and talk bout' life, everything that has happened. Am i kinda emotional and sentimental?? Hm, tt's for you to decide. Muahaha.. Walked ard Parkway and then headed home. Wanted to catch "Pearl Harbor" on channel 5. Its one of my fav shows.. I'm an tv addict.. Haha.

Jian, if u're reading this.. I meant shld u by chance read my blog. This is for you. Enjoy ur attachment but dun forget ur fren here k!

"Let time bring you along. Take time off to consider things. Nv harbor too high an expectations for it might be ur biggest pitfall and undoing. 2 mths isn't v long. All that will happen will happen and in the event that it doesn't, take it with heart that wasn't meant to be. Take care during these 2 mths in China and hope ur dreams come true lar.. "

Oh well, tmr's another week. Gotta work.. Monday blues..

Expectations can be one man's greatest undoing

PDL..yeah..? Haha

I juz obtained my PDL today and my instructor said he will book the test date for me. Hm, does it actually make a difference? The earliest date that was projected on the board reflected "25 Feb 8.30am", still a long way to go. Wonder if my test date will be how much later than this. It seems super long liao.. News that faruq will be taking his exam on the 26 Oct seems to make things worse for me, mentally at least.

Starting my 1st lesson tmr, wonder how it will turn out with all the new stuff. Haha.. Interesting..

Picked this phrase out from somewhere..."The only time ppl defend themselves occurs when they themselves are unsure of their position"... wat do ya thk? logical? V logical to me.. Hm..

Well, thats all for now. Closing another chapter in my boring life, according to fang and lorna.. Haha.. Till tmr!

*Stay tuned tmr, same time, same channel!*

Till then, the next installment of "Ways of a boring life!" Tata!

Passed! Advance Theory!

Pass! Pass! Pass!
Yup, u heard it 1st on 98.7 fm.... -_-"
Ehrm, wateva that was. Thk its getting into my head. Oh well, nvm. I passed my advance theory of drivin liao. Yes! That means i will be able to go book my test date for my practical exam but it will be a long long time, from wat i heard, it will be sometime in Feb or March. So loooooong... I can't wait to get the toopid license so i will be able to drive legally on the roads. Okie, some of you ppl will mention PDL, but no! Its a totally different thing altogether k. Anywae, i will be starting my first prac lesson this sat, i juz hope i will be able to master half-clutch aka biting pt of the vehicle and also the changing of gears smmothly. Not juz changing of gears. So many things i wanna learn but its gonna tk some time, so i hope i wun rush myself mentally and as a result, put added pressure and stall the engine as many times as the letters in this post.


Aaron, "might" does not equals to most likely. Even if it does, "might" has a "not" written behind in the tagboard. To sum it up, in both ways, u lose. Haha. Well, dun wanna tok bout' such stuff for now coz its still a long way to go before sch starts for me. So i will take everything in my stride and when the "time" comes, i juz hope i will be more oblivious to it. That's the only thing i can do now rite? Besides, i nid to conc on my NS, need to redeem myself ya know.. Need to do loads of stuff. Yes, u heard it rite.


Work work work.. Never ending work, lest for me. Cause even though i'm done with my stuff for today, i haf a strong feeling that there will be some stuff for me to complete tmr. Home Team.. Ya, got a feeling that will be it.. Grr.. Haha..

Nothing left inside of me

Emptiness is all i see

Fishing? Movies? Dilemna no more..

Did you witness S'pore Idol on thurs and the results on fri? Poor ol' David got eliminated. In my perspective, he is one of the more down to earth ppl you can find there, humble and funnie all rolled into one. Haha. Its sad to see ppl not voting for talent and instead rooting for their frens. Yes, i agree that we shld support our frens but i thk there shld be a clear line btw talent and frenship as the stages proceed on in a competition. After all, this is S'pore Idol.. Not "Make your fren an idol" contest. Know wats the most ironic thing? I dun vote... Haha. I'm juz hoping that in the later stages of the competition, talent will shine thru instead. Those who shld be in, will be in.. Those deemed weaker than others will be out. Hm, juz a passing comment. Food for thought anyone?


Anywae, i was suppose to mit up with either Peide and co for movie or with Victor to go fishing. In the end, my mom had to run some errands and i had to acc her. Furthermore, Vic cldn't find his rod and neither had i a rod. So, how to fish? Haha. Mayb i cld throw Vic off Bedok Jetty but i guess the only thing it wld attract are the guards. Haha. He isn't, btw, a good catch (jokes, jokes..). No offence meant. Juz wanna poke fun of him like he always does to me.


I was suppose to work tmr to clear some of the online stuff. However, shuren juz called to inform me that the system used to track officers' progress is down. DOWN. This means, no work tmr. Kinda disappointed as i was kinda looking forward to working on Sundays since no one is ard the station ( i mean the other staff workers) and i wanted to experience it. Nvm then, i have another 3 weeks to experiment. Working on Sundays btw, doesn't mean i'm a workaholic. Wonder how will i be spending my day tmr. Hm..

You know, i was toking to Zhi Yi ( it was a long time since we last talked) on the fone and we were like discussing stuff bout' relationships coz she's kinda in a mix with all those rumours flying ard her clique and then with some skill, the target of the conversation was arrowed to me. Instead of me doing the talking and advising, she ended up playing my role. Explaining, analysing and advising me on changin some of my personality traits so that i will be more susceptible to the idea of making frens ( am i a introvert or wat??) and mayb i might find my "dream girl" blah blah blah.. She kept emphaising that NTU will provide me with loads of opportunities and SMU is even betta. Kinda rebutted her that it takes 2 to clap/tango and i thk it somehow threw her into a entanglement coz she did not know how to carry on. Haha. I thk i'm good at this kinda rebuttal stuff. Oh crap. Hm, mayb i shld heed her advice and who knows? Things might flow in my way. But there's always one lesson to learn - Nv become desperate, coz when you do. U tend to create an invisible energy ard you and this repels others away from you. Who knows, you might have juz pissed your prospective partner off. Seems like i mentioned this in one of my previous posting. Anywae, tt's a piece of advice for Vic. Haha.. Mayb Aaron can take that and store that in his brain as well. How do you counter this? To become unattached and not uninterested in relationships. I mean, to not be attached in the sense of falling into the trap of becoming desperate. It doesn't literally mean unattached. Rem this coz its quite handy and true to a certain extent at least to me.

The greatest love of all

Come from deep within

verdict..soon will be over..

I've not even had a single moment of rest today. Its totally contradictory to what i thought yest. I was wagging "war" with files and papers today. Mdm asked me to do some hse keeping today and at 1st i thought it was onli 1 cupboard, who knows.. In the end it turned out to be 2. Btw, may i add that i'm onli done with say 1/2 of the 1st cupboard. There's the need to shred the papers to ensure they dun fall into the wrong hands but.. I dun thk anyone wld actually want all those information. Furthermore, before shredding, me and robin had to ensure that the staple bullets were removed 1st so as not to spoil the shredder and boy.. Now my fingers hurt, well, tmr's gonna be another hectic day and i've yet to complete work assigned by shuren. Ehrm.. Not tt good huh..

With regards to my case.. The verdict is out and its a warning and extra duties but the lucky thing bout' it is that it will not be affecting my promotion and my C.O.S (cert of service). I'm so thankful for this!

Thk tt's all coz i dun wanna spend too much time online tonight. Feeling kinda tired after all the tearing of papers in preparation of shredding.. tk care guys~

Appreciate the things you have

The value of it is for you to decide

weekends? confidence...

Oh, tmr is monday and shuren will not be in the office which means i'm alone. He's on course for 3 days and therefore i will have to find something to keep me occupied till he returns. Thou he has assigned me work to complete but i thk i will be able to complete them in one day coz even he felt that it wasn't alot. Vincent on the other hand in in Vietnam for the entire week for the study trip organised by SPF and after which, his stay will be short. Hm, so now its left with mdm, ben, robin and me to help cover these ppl's duties thou robin focuses on design, and i'm on PDS so good luck to ben! Haha..

How did u guys out there spend ur weekends? Weekends as we are all acutely aware, is one of the most impt time of the week, mayb it isn't to u, but to me.. It bears significance and so to say that i din spend my weekend wisely is just like slapping myself in the face.

Ya, that was the case for this weekend. Coz i stayed home on both days. At first on sat, it wasn't reali that bad coz it provided me ample time to rest and recover from a week's work which can be totally draining. Getting myself mentally and physically back on track seemed to be the ideal thing to do after a hectic week but as we all should know; too much of something is nv good. Today, once again i did not go out to relax and enjoy. The onli time i stepped outta the hse was when i acc my sis to change her hp and that was it. Stayed home the entire day and i felt so cropped and stuffed in the hse. It definitely damaged my mental health to a certain extend and it made me feel that mayb working isn't reali that bad after all coz at least i'm able to interact with the rest of the guys at work. I think my health was also affected coz the air at home was so stagnant and it provided me with bouts of headaches. Things were quite bad that i went cycling ard my estate after dinner and indeed, it revitalised me quite a bit. Cycling ard my estate reminds of tzewei, who btw is my "sis" haha... Not onli her, but also her bicycle coz it broke down the last time we cycled ard. That squeaky little bicycle of hers which is almost impossible to accelerate at a speed higher that an average person who's running. That was aged ago and it brought back memories, been quite a while since i last saw her, hope to be able to meet up with her soon. I guess sometimes being single can reali wear u down huh? Then again, there are always 2 sides to the coin and i understand that being in a relationship can also be the case. My conclusion? Everyone needs to be loved and be emotionally adored from time to time to somewhat reassure him/her of their worth to others. Or mayb its juz me? Hm...

Have u ever encountered situations that make u stop and ponder whether ur life has been fruitful up till this moment in time and then u'll juz be thrown into the deep end and it strikes u that u're actually in a dilemna. Humans are juz nv satisfied with wat they've got be it emotionally or in material terms.

Life is nv the same again...

Self worth affects confidence

leave, advance theory...

ha, i was on leave yesterday but i guess i was too engrossed in other stuff that i forgot to blog. Hm, so how did i spend my day? Waiting for time to pass, readin my advance theory book over and over again. Interesting huh? tt's like.. so my life..

Anywae, my advance theory. I dunno if i wld be able to pass coz i had doubts bout' some questions but nonetheless, i picked the most sensible and safest one that wld not pose much danger to other road users. I wa shivering while doing the paper, it was a race against myself and time. Haha. Oh well, but then as i was at qn 40 of the book, this ger from behind picked up her bag and juz strutted out of the room - time check: 10 mins! Wah! Tried my best not to get distracted as i went about completing my test. Alas! i finished - time check: 11 mins. I raised my hands and the examiner choked as she dranked her water, "Finished? Hand the booklet and paper to the front." I stood up and handed in but as i was doing so, thoughts ran thru my mind, "Was tt ger the 1st to complete? She seemed like it but she did not hand in her script and none of the examiners seem to notice one candidate had already walked outta the door." Rumours said that in order to pass, u muz be the 1st 5 to complete the test, in addition, u can't make more than 5 mistakes. Man, if tt ger was 1st, she was damn fast at answering the questions. She muz have took like 10-11 secs for 1 qn... As soon as i handed in my script, i turned ard and the rest of the candidates looked up at me and then started to panic as now it was a race against themselves. Hm, hope i do get good news in 2 weeks time. Grr.. Heard that the next avaliable practical test date is in Feb nxt year so i guess by the time i register, it wld be sometime in march.. SO LONG!!
