Weekend roundup - New NCC member ? -

Friday -

I have no idea what i did. 'Cept that after work, i met up Weixiang at City hall, cause i wanted to buy Ii mare, the korean show that inspired lakehouse.

I found out, though i didn't find My Sassy Girl DVD, nor Windstruck, so... yea.

Went to BK to eat, then to Cafe Cartel to talk about the scouts stuff. Phew, the troop is messed up man. And everyone's at fault i think... we talked alot, and i tried to reason out what i think needs to be done..

I think in the end its up to the teacher.. and also the leaders, to agree.

Ah well.

Went over to Marina Square for some arcade playing, then home via NR5.

Slept at 3:30.

Sat -

Woke up at 7am, then went to the market to meet up with KC to buy breakfast.

Duty today consisted of many hours of Winning 11 playing, and watching of Election 2(eeu, some parts were just gross), Shaggy dog(the dog's so cute! Nice story), and Goal!(Its quite a show, can't wait for episode 2 to be out).

I did manage to sleep about 1 1/2 hours in the afternoon before the stupid driver woke me up with his screaming about winning 11 =_=

Slept at 12+

Sun -

Woke up at 7+, did my ecybermart survey, then arranged some dockets, and left at 9:30. We took the cab to JP, and had breakfast at JP. Saw this girl that looked quite pretty when she smiled, and they were talking about getting her number.

I swear, my version of beauty and theirs differs by quite alot.

That aside, Gary decided to cut his hair and i joined him, cause i was just feeling bored. We went over to Jean Yip, and i basically had to wait until the hairdresser cut his hair, before he came over to me.

Truth be told, i don't feel any different. beh.

It costed like $21.90 though, ah well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Saw his gf too, quite jappy look. lol. she speaks with a slang too ya.~

reached home, slept for a bit before waking up and loading some songs into my PSP. After loading the songs, i tried to find my new earphones. But...

Like my windows XP cd, it was nowhere to be found.

It was kinda annoying. The things that matters keeps disappearing.. grr.

I sorta rushed over to Suntec, and when i reached The Rock, i was pretty much dripping with sweat. Went over to esther's side, and then well, the sermon was good. Unconventional and sorta different from the others... and i just decided i may stick around for a bit. Yeap.

Then after the service, said goodbye to Esther and friend Jaslyn, and went over to JP for a very expensive Mos burger dinner, and some arcade, before returning home..

Frogs~ A motivational story.

FROGS

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....

The race began....

Honestly:
No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
You heard statements such as:
"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"
"They will NEVER make it to the top."
or:
"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"



The tiny frogs began collapsing.
One by one....

Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher....

The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....

But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....

This one wouldn't give up!






At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?




A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?

It turned out....
That the winner was DEAF!!!!





The wisdom of this story is:
Never listen to other people's tendencies
to be
negative or pessimistic.... because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes
away from you -- the ones you
have in your heart!

Always think of the power words have.

Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!

Therefore:
ALWAYS be....
POSITIVE!
And above all:
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that
you cannot fulfill your dreams!

The Good and the Bad

Let me recount all the good/bad things that has happened in the past 2 months, the 7th Lunar month to be exact.

The Bad:
Signed 3 extras (just because i was used as an example)
Computer down.
Couldn't find XP cd which was supposed to be at home.
When i finally got a Xp cd i realised that my HDD is dead.
My 2 new bags are actually.. sorta dying. 1 of them, the latch dropped, the other one's tearing apart a bit cause i overloaded it.
The whole over-hype with Kelly, who doesn't seem quite that enthu about making a new friend(namely me :D)
Loss of Ipod. (speaks for itself)
Loss of important thing in work. (no more details on this one)
Friends around me lost/had stuff stolen from them too.

Now to the good ones:
I laughed more these 2 months than i have ever in the past 6 months before this.
I made an accidental new friend Esther. *applause*
I realise that i have friends that would stand by me, or at least support me.

Omg. i can't think of any more good ones.

Guess these 3 can out rule all of the other bad stuff huh?

An optimistic attitude is all it takes to make a bad event good. Yeap.

I Shall Stay Positive.

Strangely enough - loss of ipod -

I'm not too affected by my loss.

It didn't hit me as hard as i thought it would be.

Maybe because i had support from my friends, one who treated me to a drink, one who treated me to ice-cream..

Maybe because i laughed quite alot these few days, i'm being my optimistic self.

Maybe because i believe that what God takes, He will give it back?

But i think its because of the support i'm having. $500 may sound like a lot of money, but if this is what it takes to make me realise how lucky i am to have people to stand by me, or how little i care for material possessions, then maybe its worth it.

(Please don't take anything else from me though, i can't take too much of this at one go.. haha..)

Thursday - weary day -

I woke up feeling extremely weary.

But yet the day passed by well enough i suppose. A few changes and modifications were made, cause of my loss. The locker room looked much spacier now, and alot more changes were made, like Ipods, mp3 players, psps, dses are now banned..

Whew. I think they changed it to, 'don't let us see it'. Which was so much better than being bad.

In fact, i feel kinda bad for directly making these changes.. beh.

Its not like i want my ipod to disappear right? Sheesh.

We were dismissed at 5:25pm today, and we caught the 5:40 bus.. reached home and then started to watch some One Piece and blogged a bit.

Too tired to do anything else i suppose.

I wouldn't consider today a bad day though.

Wednesday - probably one of the better days? - ipod lost -

Yes, it sounds weird, but its true.

I had alot of fun today, but because of my ipod which went missing, today turned out to be a drag..
Yeap, just the day before i loaded up alot of the new songs i got from Budee, and put them in my ipod. Also transferred out my Fruits basket.

Today i got squeezed pretty badly in 180 again.. which caused a delay, ultimately causing the 7:35 bus to leave. I saw kelvin in front of me, and i put my ipod back in my bag after we chatted for a bit. He said to leave the 6th free cause he's thinking of going Steamboat with his friends, or rather his girlfriend's friends.

Sounds pretty good to me. Its really hard to know new friends when you're NS, especially females, girls.

Truth be told, i've known quite a couple of 'patients' or 'customers' personally, even exchanged msn and number with one of them. But with females its no mean feat.

After that went in and worked as usual, we had our usual laughs and such. At 3+, when i walked to my locker to bring my ipod out, so that i could have some music as i work, i stopped infront of my locker door for a bit.

I felt something weird, like something was wrong. In all my 9+ months of working here, i had never felt this way while opening my locker before. And after i opened it, i felt a distinct sense of wrong with my bag somewhat.

My worst fears have come true! The only valuable item in my bag is lost! =((

Thankfully i didnt bring my other item of value, or i would really be pretty heartbroken..

I searched for a few times, then mentally rehearsed if i could have dropped it. But it didn't seem like i dropped it... i keep thinking and thinking but no. I put my ipod in my bag infront of Kelvin. If i dropped it, one of us would have seen/heard it. 500g fall would have been quite distinct.

I was very sure i zipped it, so it couldn't have dropped from my bag in the bus.

Which means it was stolen by someone.

Sighs, i'm not going to bring anything of value and let it out of my sight again.

After a long search.. (would you believe they were going to let some of us go earlier for good performance?), we eventually stayed til 7:30+ and that's after they checked all our lockers/bags.

Sigh. I had a very sad afternoon, and a very long evening.

Couldn't get a cab, so we waited for the bus until 8pm, and then went to JP. Cause mom wanted to buy some dvd-rws, i went to the computer shop, and then in the end we ended up in swensons for some ice cream and other food.

They played the happy birthday song three times! wah liew... really so ciao or not.
The food was okay, the sight was good, the company was even better.

At least i know i have people i can count on, on days like this...

Coincidentally, Gerlind told me that today was the last day of the 7th Lunar Month..

What a climatic ending man.~

Went home and tried to fix my comp, only to realise that my HDD is dead.

Okay, things can't get any worse. I'm at the bottom of it now, things can only get better... and we shall see..~

Tuesday - blank -

Was supposed to get my comp fixed today, but my friend couldn't be contacted, so beh.

The day was okay, we laughed and joked, and ... worked.

I was sooo tired when i woke up today though. Absolutely don't feel like waking up type. beh.

I don't know what to type.. my mind is playing games with me~

Sunday - Duty - Monday - Loss - JP -

Phew, basically i reached camp at 8:30, changed, msned and sgforumed a bit, then slept at 10:30. Woke up at close to 6:15.

I only slept for 3 hours after all.

At night we had canadian pizza, which kinda sucked, and watched matrix reloaded..

Slept at 1am cause all of us had too much to sleep. It wasn't our fault, it was raining the whole day and it felt so good..~

Woke up at 7+ the next day, and off for work.

Today's workload was higher, there were more people... somehow monday mornings are always filled with more people than usual.

Everything was going on pretty okay until later in the evening, at 4+ when we tried to find something but couldn't find it.

Suffice to say we left at 7:15 instead of our usual timing cause we tried to find that thing, and were also given a valuable lesson in the process.

Took a cab with KC and Stuart to JP, it costed $9... normally when we take it in the morning it would cost $7. This time there's a surcharge of $2, cause its between 7-9pm i believe. Nicholas' group booked the Taxi even, which means they start off at $9. Phew. $5 surchage + $2 peak + $2.40. Madness.

Since i was at JP i decided to visit Jaslyn again, which happened to be her last day of work. No i'm really not into her that way, after visiting her numerous times, i really find that she's a sister type to me now. Librians must take care of Librians mah.

Talked to her and stayed from basically 7:45 to 9:30, when i made an abrupt exit. I was feeling kinda weary all of a sudden.

Decided to order from Subway, since i'll be able to cover tomorrow's breakfast as well with a foot long.

Was debating whether or not to order my usual iced tea, when i finally decided to do it.

Bang, bad move. lol, Brother Jianhui and weixiang were at mac-cafe, and they were talking about scouts.

And so it was, i was drawn into their conversation and line of plans, and i paid $4.80 for a himalayan Latte ... i wanted it warm, but somehow the guy just ordered an iced one for me. grr.

Yeap, i stayed from 9:40+ til 10:30+. Phew. Basically just nodded most of the way, since i have no idea what their operatus moderendi is like. (Sigh, my latin sucks) Their mode of operation that is.

But yea, i've decided to join them. Since fate has decreed me to anyways =_=

Finally reached home at around 11:30, ate half of my food(was still feeling hungry i tell ya) while watching one piece ep4, and then got to typing this.

Kelly has replied from the message i sent her in friendster with a few words of her own. (i really mean a few words.) which made me feel that she's not quite... sincere.

Well it ain't my fault, that's for sure.

Right, seeing as i'm kinda tired right now, i should definately sleep. More to come tomorrow..~

Saturday - Budee's place - Jaslyn - FIdelis & kangwei dinner -

Woke up at 11 odd, and then read a bit, while having a breakfast of fried vermicilli, 2 half boiled eggs, 1 serving of instant mashed potato, 1 cup of tea.

Then arranged to meet Budee at 4+, while also arranging to meet Fidelis at 6+7, since i had nothing to do for the day, i decided to take my portable HDD and leech animes from them~

I also had to meet Jaslyn up to pass her the money, but instead of meeting her then Budee, i decided to meet Budee and go to his place first.

Budee is still the same old, he makes friends everywhere, heh, he was basically playing with the security guard.. that's the way he is huh?

I saw the pretty girl who served me the last time.. still looked the same i guess.

Then bought a drink from MOS and went over to his place.. leeched some mp3s and honey & clover, not to mention Hard Gay and some weird anime named Elemental Gerard.

Went back to JP to meet Jaslyn up. Had a chat with her, and she informed me that Kelvin has broken up with his gf. ouch. Strangely, his girlfriend mentioned my name when jas went to PS and asked her to accompany her.

I wouldn't mind actually.

I couldn't stay for too long, so after 30 minutes(i swear time flew by at her place today), i offered to pass her some money for Jaslyn's new HP fund, but she was too shy and wanted to refuse it altogether. Eventually i passed her $15, and left.

Its kinda weird actually, i guess she doesn't treat me as a close enough friend to accept so much ba. (come to think of it, i don't really know her that well hor?). She's still a bit in the dumps. i'll say.. it seems she has hit a spate of bad luck lately.. lets hope she gets over it soon.

Took the train over to Serangoon and then a bus to chung chong, and met Kangwei + Fidelis for prata. The prata was kinda bland.. =/ Had a DBL cheeseburger at Macdonalds later. It wasn't that good either.

I swear, food is beginning to taste bland again... oh no ...~~

Then went to Fidelis's place and leeched some one piece... i'm finally in their clan~

Took 103, 105, 333 back. I remember if the total fare of all the transferred buses add up to more than $2, it stays at $2, so actually, my 3rd trip was free~~

Finished watching Honey and clover on the laptop, and i think it made no sense whatsoever...~

I had a long sms chat with Esther too. Phew. I guess she would make a good confidant. don't bash me up Warren, i harbour no even intentions~

Duty tomorrow, so i'm going to stay up a bit later, and sleep more tomorrow.. to a good day ahead~

Friday - Good day at work - Hotel heartbreak outing -

Friday was a good day.

Why you ask?

Cause there weren't much patients, and basically we were joking and slacking the whole day... i haven't felt like that for ages.

Not to mention it had been raining the whole day, so the weather was kinda cool, if not looking a bit hazy and blurry outside.

After work, i went over to Jurongpoint and met Patrik.

We then took 198 to Ikea, which took about an hour... in the cold cold bus.

Walked quite aways to the market in which the hotel heartbreak forum outing was held.
There i met up with some other people whom i have no idea who they are(nor do they any idea who i am). Ate some food which tasted rather bland... or just okay.

We chatted a bit.. oh yea, about Patrik, he doesn't look as depressed as i thought he looked like, but i'm sure he's holding alot back in his heart.

Beh. This is my first forum outing, and there were 8 guys to 2 girls there. Well, at least i get to meet people from all woks of life, and browniebaobao thinks i'm 18.. ho ho ho.

Took 198 back home, and then er.. watched some TV. Discovery channel, animal planet, and some other stuff. Oh yea, i watched Agent Cody Banks 2 too. Not too bad a show... i'm beginning to appreciate Cable TV i tell ya.

Slept at 2am.

Stayed in, comedy horror, computer down

We were supposed to stay in today..

Work after 2 days of leave was okay. Most people are out on a 2 week sailing trip, so we don't have that many people coming in to the medical centre.

At around 4+, we went for a jog in the fierce afternoon sun, and then did a couple sets of chin-ups. Then after last parade, we watched Beautiful Boxer, a thai show about how a guy got involved in boxing so that he could become a girl...

I must say, he really had courage. To wear make-up in the ring and fight... to follow his heart and do what he thinks is right.. or was there simply no choice for him?

Ah well, after that we had to work for a bit, until 10+ when we watched another thai show, this time a scary one.

About a girl who died after getting an abortion. Somehow, there were so much comic relief in the show that i think half the time we were all laughing.

Talk about a comedy horror flick.. phew.

After the show which ended at around 1, we went to sleep, though i kept opening my eyes when i was able to drift off, same with my colleague who was just next bed to me(didn't know it til the next day though). I think i eventually drifted off at around 2+3.

I woke up feeling horribly drained... and i knew it wouldn't be that good a day =/

Slept in during lunch, purposely ate more in the morning so i wouldn't feel hungry.

To end off the day, we had to learn some medical drills and breaking of ampules... and we had to run for the last bus cause no one saw it til it was too late.

Oh yea, i forgot to mention, i couldn't open my locker again.. and had to force it open. Sheesh. It wasn't until AFTER everything, that i realised i had messed up the keys again.

What in the world is happening to me? Wake up wake up!

On the bus back after calling mom, little bro told me that the comp was down due to some boot error. i was like OMG.

Not again!

Went home after buying dinner, took 10 minutes to rummage through my entire room in search of the windows XP disc, but to no avail, meanwhile sweating like crazy.

I have no idea why it isn't at the place its supposed to be... where else could it be?

I had to borrow the laptop from my sis to use, and it keeps on getting disconnected(which i later realised was due to my external HDD.), and it was irritating me no end. Not to mention phone calls for my brother and mother..

I swear, my 12 year old brother has a girlfriend. That girl keeps calling, and i think i've seen her before in the house, not too bad looking.

Omg what am i saying.

I need a break, a break from it all... someone reach out your hand and just pull me to your boat..~

Tuesday - Hospital visit - causeway point -

So soon, this is the 2nd day of my leave. I've achieved absolutely nothing.

I was interrupted many times actually, so maybe thats why when i woke up at 12, i felt kinda sucky. The feeling continued basically for the rest of the day.

Played a bit of guild wars, watched an episode of Ohran high school... i love that show..~
Then it was time to go over to the hospital, at 3+ i was already feeling the blues somewhat.

Phew.

Come to think of it, i've been feeling darn lethargic and sleepy since yesterday's hospital visit. I wonder what's wrong.

The visit this time wasn't anything much. Dad's looking much better, with my sister, my mother and my grandmother fussing over him, i feel sorta like an extra.

Basically just slacked around til it was time for me to go.

There wasn't anyplace else to go, nothing to do, so i went to Causeway point to meet Weixiang for dinner. I took 963 from Nuh, and it took close to an hour to reach. Phew.

That was quite a trip.

Dinner was at Pastamania, and truth be told, i don't feel like blogging today... Esther commented that i probably have PMS... which may not be that far from the truth.

Kaili says she may get retrenched soon, and said her job has taught her how to identify a drug addict...

Wow.

Some people lead exciting lives huh? lol.

I won't be blogging tomorrow. Seems i'm required to stay in... and they asked me to bring my trunks with me too. What kinkiness am i expecting tomorrow?? Stay tuned...

Monday, September 11, 2006

Monday - Hospital visit -

If you don't already know, my dad's been in hospital since yesterday, he's going for an operation today..

Sis and i went over at 1+, waited a bit outside the visitor's gallery, then went up to the ward.

I must say, i've never been in a B1 ward before... 4 people in the ward, 4 trainee nurses in the ward, 1 head nurse, doctors i don't know how its arranged..

There's a tv for each patient, but other than that and the space, and the fact that they have their toilets and shower stalls in the same room. Its like... nothing much.

The trainee nurses were making a lot of noise though, and the guy nurse didn't act like one. Haha. Must be the environment.

Sad to say the ward my dad was staying in didn't have any pretty nurses... the doctor was pretty though.

Okay, back to serious stuff.

Dad's okay, just that he's been complaining of upper chest pain. They gave him some painkillers but it didn't seem to work. The doctor will review him tomorrow though, think he's out for the day.

He's been plugged through the nose, in the hand, in the leg. IV, blood dripping out on another side, urine bag, BP cuff, pulse oxymeter.. everything was used.

Its like medic sch come true.. seeing everything come to life.

I visited for a couple of hours, then came home, cause i was just so tired.

Slept a bit until i got woken up by the neighbour, saying that uncle is having a heated discussion with well, auntie. Banging chairs and tables and stuff. He told me to go over and take a look, and that i did.

I stood outside and tried to listen for some stuff, but i didn't hear anything (no wait, i think i heard xiaorong crying a bit). Next thing i know i saw xiaorong's head wrapped with a towel which had a bit of blood in patches here and there.

They told me she fell down, and they're taking her to see a doctor. Later i realised, she's been sent to KK hospital. I don't quite know what happened though. Uncle claims she fell down..

Who's to know?

To end off the day, narash gave me a call and asked how's everything. We chatted for a while, then hung up.

okay, that's your name. see if you can find my blog.

Another day ahead...

Sunday - Cornerstone - meet up with kaili -

Woke up at 11+, then met up with Noel so that we could all go to his church together.. the youth service anyways.

Met up with his brother there, then took a bus down to Cornerstone church.

It's actually a 15 minute bus ride, and a 5 minute walk from Paya Labar MRT station, and when we reached, i realised that cornerstone is at the 3rd level, and well, truth be told, your typical, run of the mill church.

It looks nice, i have to admit, and the hall inside looks good too, with 2 pictures by the side, and a logo of cornerstone at the top.

But somehow i don't quite ... feel it when i'm there.

The guest speaker today is someone from the philippines, and he tells many a joke i tell you. Was laughing 1/3 of the time, he's pretty good.

After the service, went out to the front lobby, where we stayed for quite some time.(Its always like that, after the service, we always go out and loiter around, as if waiting for something to happen.), eventually though, we went over for food.

Did i mention Noel got 'slapped' by his good friend? She said he deserved it for being mean to her, saying he won't treat her even though he's treating us.

Anyways, i was seriously thinking of going to New Creation due to Esther's invitation, but since the last service was at 5, and 4+ we were still eating, i decided to pass.

Truth be told, i had a lot of fun, not because of the service, but because i had Noel's brother to accompany me. We shared a whole host of jokes, and laughed til crazy.

One thing i realised about him is that, even though he's not that handsome, he has the uncanny ability to attract girls. Yeap. I've seen girls giving him the once over, more than once. haha.

Unlike Noel, who seems to be well, the direct opposite of him i suppose.

We went down to Marina square afterwards, played a game or two, there i arranged to meet Kaili @ Bukit Panjang plaza, and i left soon afterwards.

We chatted for an hour odd outside macdonalds, and it was pretty interesting, the work she's doing. Somehow i feel quite familiar with her, even though its the 2nd time we're meeting. One could say its because we chatted for a year + liao, but if that's the case its not quite the same with Gerlind right?~

She's trying to intro a girl to me, a colleague of hers. She says her colleague kelly prefers chubby guys.

OMG =/ I'm Chubby ... =/

She told me to check out her profile in friendster, and i did that at home afterwards. She's okay lar, looks like a normal girl, makes you wonder why she's still single.

But hey, people look at me and all think i'm attached too. Life's warped i tell you.

And that's all for today.

Sunday, September 10, 2006

Saturday - A day filled with non-routine activities -

Dennis came over to my house at close to 10. He called me at 9+, and i wanted to fetch him, but i was too nua to wake up and go over... so he had to find his own way.

Surprisingly, i don't think he got lost. He's quite street-wise... not to mention he's so much better at Virtua tennis then me. phew.

He borrowed a few games, then borrowed my Ipod charger for Yanxun.

Played a bit of guild wars, then went back to sleep after arranging to meet up with Yanxun for dinner. (yea, it was a last minute thing, i later found out that he tried to get his normal friends out but they were all busy~)

On my way to the train station, i received 2 smses from an unknown number, which didn't make any sense to me. This obviously meant that someone sent the wrong sms to me again. I thought it was a friend of mine who sent it to me, so i joked when the person said sorry.

"I always knew your phone likes mine. So how's life?"

Unbeknownst to me, that person was a female(found out after 5 smses), and also a sister of a friend of mine, Warren.

Lets get this straight, i have no idea how she looks like, and she has no idea how I look like, i was ready to end the conversation with something like "Okay, this is kinda weird, i'm actually smsing a friend's sister who sent a wrong message to me. Help me send my regards to your brother"

It was then i found out that Warren has departed to Tekong island... and so the conversation continued throughout the night until 12+ (we started smsing at 6+). Well, this is something i don't do everyday. (Have i even done this before?)

I also bought a book at borders, had dinner at Seoul garden, played an hour of pool of paradiz(in which i was unable to shoot properly due to some reason that i fail to grasp...) we only played 2 games though.

And now i'll be going to church later. Lets hope i have fun..

Friday - BMS disbanded - Dinner @ JP -

My PSP has become an object of common sharing between people in tmc... the medics and drivers have been taking turns to play the latest craze... Virtua Tennis.

Heh, i knew it was fun, but didn't expect so many people to become 'addicted' to it.

I don't want to touch on too much, cause i can't remember that much.

On friday we had a BMS official handing over to HQMC.. this is the first time i've seen the chief of navy, the chief of medical corps, the chief of navy medical service, all congregate in a place..

After the event, most of us dressed up in our no.3s(lazy/no time to change), and went to JP for dinner..

I talked to Gavin about his ACCA thing, and it does sound rather cheap compared to a generic degree... so i may just be taking it.

He went to had his ears pierced too. I was expected more fanfare and gory details, but unfortunately, it took less than 15 seconds, and it wasn't anything like i thought.

They just used a machine like thing to stamp it on his ear, and its over.

Phew.

Went to the library and returned/borrowed books after that.

Alot happened actually, but i don't want to touch on the negative things, just that things seem to be finally looking up a bit. I can see the ray of light now~

New blogskin

The past few days entries shall have to wait. I'm a bit tired at the moment.. =_=

Just surfed through a lot of blogskins, and finally decided on one that i like.
I await your comments though..

Yeap, chatbox please.~

What am i?

Or am i a telephone operator, or a troubleshooter?

Why do people call me to ask for all sorts of favors? On the streets, ask me to do surveys, ask me for money, donations, directions, insurance, or even to help him check his telephone bill... what the?

I dunno man, i just feel like i'm in a bad mood today. Not quite a bad mood, but more speculative i suppose.

In the medical centre, i'm the one who they refer to for most of the stuff at the counter... its like, you dunno? Ask Aaron, he should know.

I smsed a couple of my friends to go to JP with me, but they were either busy or had prior appointments.. Made me realise how little people i can actually ask out..

Thanks for smsing with me Gerlind Jie, else i would have probably gone crazy right there.

I dunno man. Its not that i mind helping people... i enjoy helping people.. but suddenly i feel like i have so little time to myself...

Do i really have the 'i will do anything you ask, i also happen to know everything' kind of face?

Maybe that's why no girls have ever approached me for a date huh? No one wants these kinda guys for a boyfriend right?

And its at times like this i wonder if it'll all come back to me or not...

I really want to destress... to let it all out. Anyone have any good ideas?

I applied for leave on monday... for dad's op, tuesday to destress. Any ideas would be really welcome now. Thanks for reading this.~

Wednesday - Afternoon - Future - Dead bird -

A pigeon crashed into the wall of the medical centre in the afternoon. We heard a loud bang, and then it strugged on the floor for a while. Naresh went out to pick it up, and put it on the grass.

I think it suffered a spinal injury, cause it died not long after... its neck in a cringing position.

I heard this is the 3rd time it happened...

There's still a mess on the floor, and on the glass itself... brain juice i believe.

Brr.

On a completely different note, i had quite some time to slack a bit today, cause there weren't so many patients, and there were quite alot of OJTs.

I managed to talk to the NS-man who came in this week. Turns out he's a 36 year old teacher in greenridge.

He told me i shouldn't take a general degree, cause i may regret it sometime in the future... those of his friends who took that eventually took another course, either in ACCA or something else, cause its hard to advance with something everyone has.

Maybe i will. I want to do something in my NS life. Not idle every day away. Not spend every day gaming...

I didn't want to go home so early today cause i didn't want to game.

Maybe i will take up either driving or ACCA. One of them.
Soon.

Soon.

Wednesday - Evening - Many many things -

I'll do this in random reverse chronological order today.. (Long post ahead)

Dad just went berserk, after i typed his email and accidentally opened some messed up chinese program in his comp which makes the typing berserk.

Naturally he put the blame on me, saying that i opened it, then he blamed me for opening so much crap in his computer.

Yea right, my fault.

Well, i did my best to stay calm, and rectify the situation.

Truth be told. I feel like i'm a troubleshooter. Everytime something happens, people ask me for help.. okay, lets save that for another post.

Eventually i asked him to restart, and i completed the email for him. Well, he's going for a major op coming monday, so i can understand his anger. Not to mention when i told him its going to take $30 to transfer from his name to mine(for the starhub mobile thing, so that i can be a hub club member), that's when he grew berserk actually.

Timing is a vital thing. Mom asked me to pass his IC back to him just after he started blaming me, and then wham, he asked Starhub to go and die, etc etc.

Seriously, i think i haven't seen him really blow his top for some time. I guess its good in a sense, maybe all the vent up anger is released now.

I hope so.

Earlier on i went over to JP, hoping to go to the starhub shop to do transfer of account name. It wasn't successful cause they only allowed us to do it PS, Raffles, or Tampines. I really wasn't in the mood to go to any of the above locations, so i just loitered around, and then eventually went to look for Junxiang, who's working at POSB for the new Go! Card.

He was really busy, and i wasn't able to talk to him much. Tried my best to get someone to go out with me for dinner, but was unsuccessful.

Oh yea, on my way out of the toilet, some guy told me that his friends are using his home telephone line for a chatline, and he wants to know his current telephone bill. He wants to talk to an operator. Well, i tried to help, but after doing what i can, i still couldn't talk to an operator, so i apologised and left. Why is it always me?

When i reached home i decided to go for a jog, that's at 8. i Jogged til 8:30+, then saw Eddy and talked to him, giving him pointers on how to pass his IPPT, etc. Then reached home and bathed.. after that went to help Dad liao.

Now mom asking me to burn discs for her... sigh. i need some time to myself. i feel so suffocated... why is everyone asking for my help? Who will help me when i ask??

Kefeng asked me to bring my BMS shirt for him tomorrow too... whew.

Ricky called me yesterday night to ask me about the router stuff.

I feel like a helpline...

Money makes a world of a difference

A young girl missed her period for two months...Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant now.....

Shouting, Cursing, Crying, the mother scream :"Who was the pig that did this to you?. I want to know...!!!!!"

The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later a Ferrari Car stops in front of their house, a mature and distinguished man with dark hair and impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit steps out of it and enters the house slowly ..

He sits in the living room with the father, the mother and the girl, and tells them: "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. However, I can't marry her because of my personal family situation, but I'll take the responsibility ..

If a girl is born I will bequeath her 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beach Villa and a $1,000,000 bank account .. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $2,000,000 bank account . If it is twins, 5 factory each and $5,000,000 for each child . However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?".

At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places his hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him : " You Can Try Again ! "

Sunday - Slack @ Home -

Played with the TV.

Played with Guild wars..

In the afternoon, Dicky called me... We had quite a long chat...
Actually he just wanted to ask me if scribbling with a marker on the glass window of a public bus was considered vandalism... i told him i had to check case law...

Then we chatted... it seems he's so busy now with his dad's work... he's trying to study next month onwards too... then nowadays he's so busy he's having problem getting dates... lol.

I kinda know what that means. He's had to postpone his date 3 times, and the last time he came he was late for an hour... thrashed..

We played with Starhub cause for the first 3 days, we get all the channels... we played with Karaoke tv... which showed a commercial after every song i believe... it was kinda cool though.

I played guild wars.

Then we went for dinner outside... i begged to come home earlier cause i wanted to blog in peace... without the tv on.

Phew. I finally got it done.

I'm on duty again tomorrow, lets get this Civil Defence thing out of the way...

Oh yea, i had wanted to go to Jue Dui Superstar's audition today to watch Fan Yi Chen... but since Ho Yeow Sun was going and no one's going with me, i decided not to =/

Church was out too, since i woke up at 8+ and still felt like sleeping... and woke up at 12+.

Oh yea, was supposed to meet Kaili today... but last minute dad say want to go out dinner... so bo bian lor.. Sorry Kaili~ (Don't think you'll have time to read my blog, but just in case you're seeing this..~)

Tomorrow will be a good day~

Saturday - Suay? - I'm not alone -

Woke up, went to prepare my stuff, and found out that i somehow lost 1 of my locker keys..

I opened the other one, to find out that my other key isn't there... omg! Where did it go??
Eventually had to break open the lock(it was dying anyways), to take my stuff.. after then i realised..

I couldn't lock my other locker!

What in the world!? I opened it just fine, then when i tried to lock it... i wasn't able to~

Growl.

The rest of us then decided as usual on weekend duties, to take a cab back. Usually when we bookout, we'll see a cab waiting for us... but this time we had to wait a bit before that happens... a bit suay liao.

Then not to mention, on the way back, we hit alot of red lights! 8/10 i think. Don't know if its our combination, or just me... growl.

Then on the bus back, me and kefeng also hit by the 8/10 combo.

Then i asked Kefeng to sms me if he got hit by any red lights after i alighted... He told me he successfully passed by all 5, until i replied then he got hit by a red light..

@#!@*$#^&

You must be kidding me~

Got home and pangyaed a bit, was practicing a bit with myself, but i was playing horribly, so i stopped pretty quick.

The starhub pple were supposed to come at 2-4, but he came at 5... then supposed to teach me how to record... but they didnt'!

Wah liew eh!

At night i met up with a sick Noel at Taman Jurong market... i had a whole stingray to myself... phew.

You know, i always wanted to do something like this... but when i did it, it didn't feel as good somewhat...

You know what they say, "Anticipation is usually better than the real thing"...
Noel was supposed to pass me his F.r.i.e.n.ds too, since the old ones he passed me were faulty... but no... he told me he couldn't find it..

Noooooooooooooo~~

On the bus back, i managed to overhear 2 girls behind me talking about not being able to meet people... one of them suggested going to church, or otherwise through those events...

Its good to know that i'm not the only one facing these kinda problems.. And i'm glad i'm not the only one who doesn't wish to turn to church too... She wasn't that bad looking.. normal types.

I experimented with Guild wars at night... and now i'm hooked... nooo!!

Friday - Duty -

I remember being very very irritated and annoyed in the morning.

Why?

Cause i did something that other people did, but, i was given an extra. (meaning i had to do one more weekend duty) While others before me had to do nothing.

Once again, i was used as an example.

I don't know whether i'm just so darn suay until i nothing to say, or they are really against me.

I managed to laugh it off an hour or so later, but darn, it was hard. Here i'm trying so hard to be happy and all, and things keep coming, one after another.

Oh yea, on thursday night i found out that dad's going for quite a major op on the 11th... will probably try and get leave on that day..~

At night they all left early to go for the BMS inauguration dinner...

I heard on sat that it was kinda sucky. Everything sucks. lol. I shall not touch anymore on it.
