wHaT a FINALE.
sleeping at 6 am and waking up at 7.50am was definitely a 'great' way to start off my final day in singapore .before that, i was watching korean shows and 2 movies; my girl and i and a millionaire's first love. haha , actually.. i just revisited a millionaire's first love.. cos' i wanted to watch something very sad.this movie is REALLY touching, it's the 3rd movie that made me cry in my entire life. yes people, kiwana boy cries. haha, come on.. everybody has a soft spot right. haha.. the other two movies that me cried were ' Jack Frost' and ' CLICK' . well, these movies made me cry because i usually put myself in their shoes 1st .. and being in tht situation i would feel depressed and emotional too.. so i feel for them 100% man.. haha.. 10 ten thumbs up for these 3 shows.. okay, enuff of entertainment.
waking up was just like conquering mount everest. with lazy genes inherited from...wait. created by myself and the strong bed-magnetism .. the process was absolutely..painful. opened my eye and i immediately closed it and hugged my bolster like there's no tmr. my bro came in and said.. ' eric, u want me to tah pau breakfast?' without hesistation . i SPRUNG up from my bed and rushed to him .. but eventually i declined the offer because it was already 8 am .. and there would be insufficient time to enjoy my breakfast.. took a quick bath and rushed to the MRT..
ah .. TRAVELLING from one end to the other.. was one of the most horrendous journey i ever had in life.. what made things worse was tht ... my mind and body were not working as one.. my eyes were sleepy but my mind detested them.. was not able to shut my mind and body thru out the whole 55 minutes .tummy was GROWLING and pleading ' NASI LEMAK ERIC, no no, hoTdog BUnS, noNO , laKSA..' ...aihs...to be struggling amidst the sea of biological dilemma.. it's some sort of punishment lah for sleeping so late.. NEVERTHE LESS .. My KOREAN shOWs were Worth it. like i blogged earlier., i MAXIMISED my speedy connection in SINGAPORE! yeah..
okay , reached boon lay on time, met my angklung friend jie ying and also my council friend xiu ming on the bus..i was PRACTICALLY alone .. both my friends had their own company.. but luckily jie ying and xiu ming allowed me to tag along ..so we were seated in the lecture hall. and the assoc. prof began his speech. bla bla bla .. ntu good...ntu established...unlike some other local universities...ntu no.3 nus no.14 ..ntu got this ..ntu got that.. ntu got...SO MANY THINGS that were so fascinating lah.. hahaha.. but it lasted for only ONE hour .. then proceeded for tea session. met up with MEISHAN and her canoeist friends! finally my classmate.. hahhaa..i was not alone.. so we chatted and boarded the bus to go for a tour ard .. updated her on so many things hehe..
H.O.W.E.V.E.R.
EVERYTHING ENDED AT 12pm.!!!!! this was not definitely something that i 'd have expected..imagine this boy ,who actually hesistated to come in the 1st place but got persuaded by his sister..[not blaming sister hor], who travelled all the way from OVERseas...came to ntu just to listen to 1 hour of information.. NOOOOOOOOOO.. i feel for this boy. do you?
thank god i came down a few days earlier and had my FUN time.. compensation at its best. hehe.. give and take lah huh.
later on i proceeded to JE and called ziping for a quick lunch at long johns.. haha ..had a nice tlak with her and rushed my way to JB ..
upon reaching home, had a simple dinner and threw myself to the hands of LAZINESS.. slept from 7.50pm all the way till 9.15 am .. woke up .. went downstairs to greet my parents and sister.. and out of the sudden , hynoptically went back to my slumberland and continued my sleep till 1245pm. THIS IS THE LIFE.. A GOOOOOOOOOOOOD life..
haha.. man, when am i ever gonna have the healthy lifestyle? slept again at 5pm and woke up at 8 pm just in time for dinner and desserts.. and now i am blogging...TIME FLIES..comfortably..
driving lessons shd resume tmr again .. haha..
oh ya, NUS letter finally came in , being offered.. accountancy too. but obviously, naturally, NTU is my choice ba. so now..i just laze around lah .. hahaha.. trying to figure out how to conquer this lazy disease in me.. trying to.. hmmx[=P]
spidey 3 is coming out sOOOn. YES! at the price of RM 6.00 ... it will definitely be a HIT!!! hahaha.. oh oh , gotta catch pirates of carribean 1 and 2 first ... cos the last one is coming too.. i can't miss out on all the gr8 movies at such AFFORDABLE price.. hehe.
one love ya'all .
deh, kamsahamida.
10:09:00 PM
reFRESHing SinGApoRe!
.oh HAI yo! 'touched down' in singapore at 12:47pm yesterday , 27th of april... haha well , nothing beats the stability of singapore and the efficiency of the public transports .. yeah .. missed the MRT and regular buses when i was back home. oh yah , about this blog skin , just decided to revamp my blog for once.. i remembered blogging my first entry saying tht i would stay simple and not to be too enthu abt beautifying my blog.. haha. ppl change lah k ..hehe. hope u guys love this background .. of course with the help of bee ..my 'sis' who helped me out with the HTML .. which is why u can see all the navigation bars being incomplete.. i would have to ask her how to fill up those bars again.. my tag board is currently available yah.. will be restoring one once i get back to SEREMBAN . thanks to veron who recommended me websites in search of blog skins.. haha =]
all right let's touch on friday's event .. COUNCIL reunion in NJC.. hahaha.. apparently.. i was late.. dismas and sum were late too.. met up with shu and her handsome.. oh i mean harold.. then waited for GRACE tay .. hahaha.. so ..after being late.. we were LEFT OUT of the introduction in sanctuary .thanks GRACE!!. hahaha..well, can't blame the councillors who came early lah.. hehe.. too bad .. i couldn't give a word or two to my GRAND juniors.. but that's not the pt... the crux of the reunion was more towards getting to know how others were doing.. their applications .. their temp. jobs.. ahhahaha. i think there were around 15 councillors who made it back.. but hey , at least there were ppl lah huh =].. chatted gossiped and took a look at our grand juniors packing and unpacking during 'assembly' .. reminiscing our time with our juniors... haha time flies that's for sure.. proceeded to KAP.. our usual hang out events after events.. hehehe.. it's nice lah .. just to see their faces again..
on saturday .. i spent half of my day watching anime and korean shows..they were absolutely entertaining .. watched the latest of NARUTO shippuuden .. so cool .. but it's only possible with the wireless broadband .. NOOOO!!! i so ..do not want to part with this NECESSITY .. 32.1kpbs will haunt me back again!!!argh. then i went out to meet my junior in orchard .PEOPLE: i would OFFICIALLY PROCLAIM that ORCHARD ROAD is filled with beauties.everywhere, anywhere, hot cute chubby adorable..u name it , girls are there. boy boy, singaporean guys: i envy u ppl ah..YET. i still need to have faith in my HOMELAND. they are just somewhere out there.. some where..lol..man, do i sound despo! ate pastamania and desserts in NYDC.. haha thumbs up for the goldmine CHEEEEEESECAKE and APPLE CRUMBLE.. yummy.. met up with my old hostelmates.. rudy and ferro..ilona and novi too.. haha.then we went to the arcade to play hockey pucks!!so FUN.. arcade's my passion man.. absolutely. =P .. haha.. was glad that i caught up with my junior.. gotta share so many stories with her .. well, we only met up after 3 mths of procrastination..dude.. more to come yah, junior!! i shall seek your approval . 8 years younger ah!!

aight , there ain't no crap from my mind today. but i would like to share this interesting quote from a GUY's t-shirt i saw in NEW URBAN MALE. : ''if there are no boys in heaven, nobody is going''. INFER.
'deh, kamsahamida.' [nods]
12:42:00 AM
a piece of my mind.
eat sleep eat ...that is how aravin and i define a good life.. of cos , with no worries as well =] since all my applications have settled and i managed to secure a good place in NTU! =]
life has been very simple .. much simpler than my working days.. only thing is .. i am growing sideways.. NOOO!!! flabs and my tummy are bulging.. making me look like a pear! aihz..
haha.. mummy urged me to work out non-stop.. but my laziness just took control ba.
i need a run. one day .[grins]
anyways, i won't be staying in seremban from friday to sunday...instead i will be leaving for SINGAPORE once again.. my hoM..2nd home lah yah.. hehehe// attending some tea session in NTU on sunday.. so why waste the trip?!. friday would be the day where the old councillors reunite .. haha .. so looking forward to this day ... because last year.. MY CPU seniors did not come back... wah lao.. hahaha.. these few days .. i sound very very crappy.. so ... ME..which is actually. good in a way.. .i got back to my old self.. and bad in a sense that my mind aint shaping up .. sighs... i lost touch with the current affairs..again.
all i know was this pretty screwed up korean going around shooting 32 ppl and finally took his own life at VIRGINIA TECH located in blacksburg , USA. first and foremost, i would like to voice my condolences and deepest sympathies to all of the victims' family.. CNN news have been revolving over this massacre for days and it's time to
move on.. this is really what i would like to call as fate.. it's so random , we will never know when such thing can occur.. just like MRT suicides in singapore.. wah .. i was just watching these two clips my techie friend sufyan sent me ..months ago... which just displayed how slumberly a person can just jump onto the tracks , acting way too normal before the deadly act.. SUICIDE and GENOCIDE sux .those taking PSYCHOLOGY .. future looks clear for you *winks* no offence there ah.. its a good note. but of course.. i not encouraging the rise in mental illness or disorders lah =P
nowadays when i switch on the tv, majority of the tv programmes would consist popular + REALITY TV show like american idol, the dance floor, project superstar and many more lah...to me it's definitely entertaining but like what some would say , it's fake. My brother once told me , SOME idol show ..which i can't say , pay ppl to become fans of the contestants.. wow.. haha.. it's all about business .. u gotta convince the viewers that these ppl are worth voting for .. can u believe that..man-made idol. yee...
the DANCE FLOOR.. was one show tht really stirred me up sia.. haha.. basically it's just a dance show where contestants battle it out through auditions and perform according to the theme of the week.. that, made me wanna laugh rather to appreciate their talent.. i mean come on, seriously, i don't expect breakdancers to do ballroom and vice versa.. for what we know, breakdancers need MORE of their muscle power while ballroom dancing focusses more on their FIERY routine steps.. and their 'gracefulness' in executing tht each vital step..each has special abilties in diff areas but as a result.. one will get eliminated due to unforced disadvantages.. HOHO.. so nice. kudos DANCE FLOOR..there was once in channel 5 .. where judges were displeased at the votings .. simply because the results were obviously based on popularity rather than performance.. then words which goes something like this : ' those ppl who voted and don't appreciate ur talent.. i think they are cheap. ' something like that lah.. then another judge , george was like ' you may be out but keep that spirit alive k ' [emotional song played] .. YADA YADA YADA.. fact is , you are out and start making some reality check ups man.. haha.. better obtain a degree 1st and start earning real cash. that's kiwana boy's advice for u .. the show itself is actually... absurd? haha .. i dunno lah .. that's my view.. my suggestion .. if you don't want talents to go to waste and avoid nerve-wrecking results.. stop the commercial sense for once and let the judges make the decisions.. they are wise enough. bias it may be .. but its much better than decisions made by voters. or else.. judge 70% fans 30% ... something like that.. dun create reality dramas that are embarassing , emotional yet entertaining. it's not pleasing to watch some how. agree?
enuff crap . now now.. once again i would like to wish those peeps that i treasure loads in singapore ,you know yourself..all the best once again for ur DEX test, DENT interview, MED interview, Double Degree Interview..TCM interview, uni scholar prog interview... i have FULL FAITH in ya! aja aja FIGHTING!!
my niece, learn the impulse reactions k.. its easy. revise every night. a psychologist in the making ah .. =]
pimp u stay strong as always. dun let insecurities ruin your mind and don't doubt urself k.
one love ya'all.one love.

8:53:00 PM
sMeLLs like teEn sPiriT ..again!
eeeeelllloooo..once again , i am able to blog in this 'progressing' town of mine , SEREMBAN. with a 32.1 kbps connection , nothing much can be done. it takes 5 minutes for a picture in friendster to be viewed, it takes 3 minutes for my friends to receive my message online via MSN which makes my conversation with them and myself sound a lil retarded, OH HOW I MISS MY WIRELESS BROADBAND in S I N G A P O R E!!!! haha, its 5.07am right now in my best friend's house, i have just gotten back from a cybercafe.. look at how late teenagers at my age go home these days..
all right let's talk about my general life in seremban. upon reaching home , the first event that took place was late night supper with ma peeps ..woohoo.. next we headed to our c ybercafe and DOTA-ed all night long .. hehe.. i kinda suck at this game.. and always been known to my gang as the noob one or else the FEEDER. '' our champion has FALLEN'' often rings in my mind .sighs... i gotta practice playing this game in my laptop !!!
if i'm not mistaken ,i have been playing games till the wee hours of the day for 5 straight days ... @@ .. super burnt out.. but it's okay.. being able to enjoy my company is something not worth missing at all.. never.. i realise how different the atmosphere is btw malaysia and singapore..
i feel so .. ME.. and very .. At home.. haha.. life is really free and easy here.. no worries no hassles..
moving on, DRIVING lessons.. whee!! all ryt .. this boy here is able to drive 70% within 2 hours of learning .. lacking the skills to park , to overtake , and to reverse only.. boy , i am SO looking forward to the next lessons.. once i take control of the car for real, i shan't be a burden to my parents no more.. ahhaa...and when the time is right,, i'll to drift for real.. yes .. gotta do it..
oh ya, my letter from NTU just came in 2 days back . haha. with luck , i managed to secure a place in Nanyang Business School pursuing accountancy! woOOhHOOo!! all right.. thank you GOD and to my one and only sister [real] SHERYLENE HEAH. for guiding me in the essay writings .. things might not have been the same without you. oh well , abt this , confirmation is only required from may 2nd onwards.. am still waiting for NUS and SMU..haha.. i can actually forego SMU after tht FUN interview..
to all my singaporean peeps[too many to name ba] , i MISS YOU GUYS aight .. haha .. though i am enjoying myself here , you guys will always have a place in my heart and mind too! might not be coming back anytime soon .. shd be only in late JULY if i'm not mistaken , which is just in time for ORIENTATION.talking abt my singaporean friends.. to those in line for mEDicine,double degree, teaching and other crucial interviews.. my FAITH and PRAYERS for you.. in this case , luck is no longer essential, its just the substance aight? haha..
good morning , good night![yawns]
5:02:00 AM
23:01 . and its all over. i am a free MAN.
23:01 . my final punch out in VENEZIA . i just had a mixed feeling after punching out. i will definitely miss my colleagues in the airport [yiwen,eugenia,caroline jie,helicia, yiting, derek, huishan, huili , yvonne, chase]..my compass pt partners[esther JIE, yew siong, kae ling] .. taka mates[ pei yoke, sophia, ah zi and sian lin] , tiong bahru , [aunty jean ].. yup !! ALL THE BEST TO ALL OF YOU .. though we never really hang out or talk much.. but working with you guys have definitely made a difference in my life.. all the gossips , the jokes, the bingo games [me and helicia], all the snatching of customers[kiasu sia] ,the adrenaline rush , the nonstop explosions of customers..=] ..my last two days were HECTIC and tiring .. on saturday .. my shop made 1150 dollars highest in venezia's airport's history .. i was proud to be one of the team on that day..yiwen my manager even congratulated me .. yay!! today was the 2nd highest which was 987 dollars.. kudos to eugenia ,caroline , yvonne and yiwen who had made this happen..
reflection time : i shall touch on my experience from work. Being in the service industry for 3 months, i had come across so many types of customers.. the picky ones, the jolly ones, the meticulous one , the 'just want to make your day miserable' ones.. the understanding ones, and many many more.. well , meeting such people had taught me one thing.. patience. no matter how they react or order us around , we always have to keep up with them, smile and always give our best. when they say you're in the wrong, don't waste time defending ourselves.. just serve them a new item.. and end off with a line'' have a nice day'' or CHEERS..=].. i might sound submissive.. but in such cases..making the customers happy would leave a much better impression rather than talking cock and bull story seeing who is right or wrong.. yup..seeing them happy when i serve ice creams or coffees just make my day instantly.. haha.. when we are impressed by someone's service , tell or praise their efforts sincerely.. service crews will be 101% more glad to hear that..apart from honesty , punctuality and being responsible in anything we do, we always have to take the initiative to make sure our stocks are sufficient and be on the ready to help out our other colleagues.. those in the f&b industry.. you would understand what i mean.. those going to take up a job in this sector.. just prepare your mind k..
ah yes.. enuff abt WORK!!! i am FWEE.. oh my, will i get used to my slack life right now? not touching foreign currencies? .. not scooping ice creams ?. not steaming the milk for capuccino?aihz.. im already feeling the effects of not working le... sighs.. anyways..im looking forward to meeting up with my niece , ziping , and my angklung friends again in sequence.. and coincidentally, every meeting takes place in BUGIS.. yes thank god. oh which means i gotta sleep early tonyt .. gotta start packing my stuff to go home which is on tuesday..
hmmx.. since i have stopped work ... i gotta spend some time thinking of things that i wanna buy for myself.. with my hard earned money.. i have some t shirts on my mind, a few pants, posters , perhaps a CRUMPLER bag.. hahaha .. i know i have like 7 bags at home.. aihz.. but i wanna get something that i can be proud of .. having lived a poor life[finance] .. i'm always calculative when it comes to expensive things ..except for food.. k for example.. a very nice shirt that costs 70 dollars .. first thing that comes to mind is this
" whoa, 70 dollars ah, how often would i wear this ?if i put in washing machine will it lose colour?70 dollars can buy 2 weeks of lunch .. " ya you know .. these kinda thoughts just come to mind.. aihz.. put simply i always convince myself that i can always use that 70 dollars for better things.. that's why u can see that i have poor fashion sense... i jz wear simple clothes.. and most of the time my brother's shirts.. hehe.. alot of my friend say i look like an uncle wearing all those checkered shirts, polo t shirts.. haha ..whatever lah.. i am jz the guy who emphasises on comfort over fashion.. perhaps , a very beautiful princess will come into my life and only she might be able to free me from this prison of simplicity.. we shall wait and see lah..
for nw , shall be paying my sis a few hundred dollars for the utilities and groceries for the house.. a way to repay my elder siblings for taking care of my handphone bills and lodging .. one love for my family.. another few hundred to cover my driving lessons.. hehe.. the rest i shall just save for future use
reflection time 2: this sunday afternoon , i was enjoying my economy rice with 1 cup of 'kopi ping' in the air conditioned kopitiam . from where i sat , i saw alot of families around me , but what caught my eyes were children playing gameboys , psp , and nintendo ds and children playing catching around the tables.. and the highlight . a mother scolding her child. firstly, seeing them holding these high tech interactive gadgets just amazes me .. oh my god.. such luxurious lives for these kids.. i dun even remember playing console games during my time.. alll i could remember vividly was to ride bicycles with my friends.. playing 'masak masak' a.k.a cooking with my cousins in the village, tossing marbles, playing MY BROTHER"s toys by the staircase..talking to myself during play and bath times.. wow.. i suddenly feel so weird.. yes i admit the age gap and the new ''techie' environment.. but even i myself dont play such cool console games NOW.. will these children enjoy the real playing games.. would they be forever be 'trapped' in that gaming world.. god bless them yah.. hopefully their CCAs will make a difference in their mentality..
another thing, the fact they are playing such gadgets tells me only two things.. is either they were rewarded for maybe, good results or plainly pampered.. my instincts are more inclined towards the latter.. i mean.. i don't envy these kids.. but of all things.. they get to play the new techie stuffs.. haha .. i fear that parents are really spoiling their children.. and children these days are getting much much more rebellious.. let's not talk abt singapore itself.. even my family's side in m'sia .. my nephews can be so rude that they can even scold my aunts stupid. the younger generation against my elderlies.. omg.. and at this particular food court today.. i saw a child talking back to his mum slumberly with that irritating ,'i know i am right ' kinda arrogant tone.. i mean that's absolutely unacceptable.. haha.. if my mum was there.. a tight slap will just do the trick. and if ever u rebel more , more slaps will just come .. this proportionality simply rox. haha..so i pondered, is it the child's personality or the parent''s upbringing.personality is influenced by the upbringing, peer attitude and atmosphere. it's not easy being a parent.. look at this dilemma, you treat your child nice, he /she might turn out nice, or else , eventually be bold enough to step over your head. if you are too strict with the child, the child will develop this restricted mindset and gradually build up a tensed rebellious feeling.. ah .. how did our parents do it.. my mum hits and disciplines me.. my dad just keeps out of it.. its a mother do it all affair in my case.. haha..should i be a good daddy or 'evil' daddy ?! haha.. klah i shall be more realistic.. let's find a gf 1st... talking too much crap le..
what a long entry today.. those who are still reading this.. hope you guys arent blur ya .. hehehe..good luck to those having their major events around the corner .. my pimp for his nationals.. the gals are at the other end of the rainbow yah.. MALAYSIA BOLEH k.. my buddies having their interviews to enter MEDICINE and school of economics.. all the best ya.. remember what is your passion.. those quitting their jobs soon... let's have a proper break k .. =] . money is not everything .. its the experience ... eh no lah.. ultimately it's the money lah yah.. lol.. singapore dollar 'wan sui wan wan sui' .. with the currency of 2.31 ..i'll be rich in m'sia . kamsahamida.
12:58:00 AM
WORK sleep WORK!
oh hai yo! back to blogging again. after that 9 hours of work , 5 hours of sleep and 6 hours of work again .. oh my god its so crazy that i have to take red bull in the evening.. the after effects of it is going to kill me as soon as i finish blogging this.. my body is actually 60% burnt out.. yet again, its a nice day working.. in the midnight shift.. i had 6 dollar worth of tips =] and later on i had 2 dollar tips in the evening shift.. covered my lunch and dinner le.. hehehe.. well like i said.. i gotta start spending wisely..
yup will be going back to m'sia on 17th of april.. can't wait to reunite with my homies.. man, i am so looking forward to drinking , driving , crapping, pranking .. gotta reignite the old me and regain my conscience as a MALAYSIAN .. haha.. but then again of cos i wun drink and drive lah yah.. i aint that bad boy after all..
well , 95% of my guy classmates are in the army serving their nation . one more to go which will be on the 27th april.. all the best to you , the last one! ahaha.. you know who you are. some being clerk , somebody becoming a pilot.. fwah.. someone going special tactics, another weapon specialist.. the other technician.. one more , officer cadet.. wah RESPECT RESPECT AND RESPECT lah to all these ppl..cos i know, they get paid monthly and i shall wait for a good treat from some of them.. hehe..
this week is gonna be very systematic ..i can foresee that .. eat sleep work .. the cycle repeats all the way till this sunday.. hahaha.. i am getting FATTER .. not fat.. cos i am already fat. diaoz..my sis in law say i fat..mummy aso says i fat .. dad and bro reminding me of heart attacks, cancer , high blood pressure.. worst of all GENETIC diabetes.. NOOOOOOO!!!! how how how... i can't just live on steamed vege and meat .. i need oil , i need salt , i need sugar.. i need fattening stuff!!!!
how can i eat to live when i have the instincts for the other way round.. arghs.. mummy tells me ,eric you havent been clamped down by these diseases , so you won't know.. once again those words were just enuff to terrify me. aihz.. looking at my daily lifestyle.. its reasonable to eat outside food eh cos no one is at home to cook for me.. *winks*
now come to think of it .. wouldnt i be suffering from my mum's 'insisted' diet for me when i go back?. oh no. okay , let's stay in singapore .. MAJULAH SINGAPURA, SAYA TAK NAK BALIK RUMAH. haha ... which just means .. onward singapore, i don't wish to go home.. i've always desired a good bod. dreaming is one thing , doing it is another thing.perhaps , i must motivate myself with something really worth betting my tears, blood and sweat on the line.. i must have the courage to make the 1st move..
let's take a look at this quote from my aussie malaysian buddy, leon lee, " determination is just like waking up from bed.. if u insist on rolling over on your bed , you will never wake up, but once you literally wake up[get out from bed] , everything will go back to normal. the hardest part is to bring yourself up from bed..' indeed leon , indeed. wise words. ahhahaha..to me lah at least . its a very simple yet thoughtful analogy.
kilos , i must shed. bod , i must achieve. WILL start once i return home. the word 'will' is so deceiving .. hehe.. oh its 2 am ryt now.. my tummy is grumbling..yet eating late supper instantly makes me fat.. what should i do?
"HELLO MAC DONALDs.one mc spicy meal pls! "
=D
1:01:00 AM
cos i had a bad day.....i sang a sad song just to turn it around.
ello . just felt like blogging one more time for today.
just got back from my outing with my angklung peeps.. had dinner at CHANGING appetites .. yummy.. chatting with these bunch of people is simply ..refreshing.. here , i mingled with ppl whom i have not met up for ages and talking about our work and teasing each other just brings back the old memories. =] i ate a HUGE burger with fries alongside that cost me 15 dollars..@@ hahaha.. if i convert to ringgit malaysia.. thats like omg.. 30+++ ringgit.. jialat .. that;s like 12 packs of chicken rice in msia.. oh my.6 days worth of meal.it's time to get back to my conversion senses.. back in those days.. a 3 ringgit meal was already considered expensive.. OUCH !!! i 've changed! mummy teach me to be thrifty again.. wah but then again , if i were to spend my money thriftly.. it would be bread and water all day.. NO!!!! cannot.. i shall insist on living this lifestyle..ahahaha.. look at what has singapore done to me..* bleahs*
reflection time:
*sighs* thats the only thing that i can do right now.. well like i mentioned on my previous entry.. let bygone be bygone.. yes i managed to do that.. but when i had a heart to heart talk with my sister again.. i felt guilty.. oh man.. is this really the course that i want? k i admit. i don't really know what i feel like doing.. all i know .. is that bio is NO NO ... sciences are basically gone from my world.. but i wouldnt mind physics .. =] ..
you know, after 19 years of my life... the phrase ," mother knows best " is always right for me.. my mum had completed GCE O level.. and stopped studying by then ..hearing her words of encouragement is just the best thing that can happen to me.. she might not know how to use the computer..but she knows when to say the right things.. today i told her abt my interview.. and we all laughed along..she said, ' aiyah eric, don't think about it so much. youngsters at your age also don't really know what they want in life. your interviewers will sure understand why you answer like that'. that line just cheered me instantly.. like the interview never took place. the funny thing is ... she did not know that most YOUngsters these days are already goal driven.. well at least in singapore..and for the past years when i have achieved poor results, instead of asking me to work harder , she just say this .. 'eric , move on ..sometimes results may not be that important lah yah.. you look at some successful people , they don't even have proper qualifications..who knows you might be one of them.' wah .. those were pure blissful words. no sarcasm neither reverse psychology intended.. it jz rings to me that i shd not let her down.. hehehe..here, mother knows best in comforting her child. i love you mummy.
my dad , firm yet jovial. man, his jokes are the classic jokes.i told him about my interview ..and his reply, " hahaha eric, you talk alot lah.. just like me . never mind lah' .but his words are for real. he just needs to say this to me, ' eric , today was yesterday's tommorrow. you know what THAT means right??''.. haha .. it sounds like the obvious right. but actually if i'm not mistaken it has a deeper meaning . goes to show that you should not procrastinate and you should accomplish the things that you have promised to do tomorrow.and that tomorrow comes, make sure its not a different story. this is one thing which i have failed to do ever since a young age.. now i have to find my trueself again and work towards my goals. i procrastinate till i forget to do important things .. and my dad will jz come nagging.. aihz. i gotta break the habit..dad, i love you too.
i need to know what i really want to do.. i mean .. applications have been sent in..but i need to take the initiative to understand what i am about to go thru for the next 3/4 years.. and also.. i gotta prepare myself for the fact that i might not even get my choices. in life we have to be prepared for the best and for the worst. gambatte.
for those who have been there cheering for that joker.. that joker is in tears, not of disappointment, but of joy.. knowing there is a bunch of people he could rely on to ENRICH his life. muahaha .. kamsahamida.
my line for today, ' it's good to move on , but did you learn anything from this experience? if you don't , you will forever remain idle and the biggest REGRET will take one step closer.'
okays, i shall continue a small part of my SASSY girl .. oh yah , according to my buddy ferro , the movie sassy girl had this guy acting 5 roles in the movie.. and viewers were actually encouraged to spot him ...and there was actually a reason for the girl to push the boy into the lake.. not a plain prank . woo.. so deep! i like. gotta find it out..
cya!

when nonsense met joker.
one day , this young fine lad woke up , dressed up in his best clothes and walked out to take a bus , headed straight for his interview. in the bus , this joker , sat and pondered the points that he would like to convey during his interview. he was calm , not anxious at all. neither confident neither complacent. just plain blank and plain calm.
okay he reached the interview place met new people from different colleges. one from rj one from sa. very nice ppl to talked to. =].apparently both had 3as.. hahhaa.. that joker just kept quiet due to the inferiority complex. but joker introduced himself to them and chatted away to ease the tension and boy could he sense the deafening silence in the waiting room lah before that.. even the slightest fart can be heard .. so , one of them went in, and came out 15 mins later.. joker asked: 'hey so hows your interview? '.. she replied : well they didn't even asked me a single question......
[..................................................]
that came thru the joker's mind. must have left the RJ girl in awe too.
sa gal said: 'oh , they just asked me to sit down and asked what's my name'.
oh my G O D. GOD!!! 15 minutes about your name. interesting isnt she? must have taken the interviewers for a ride.. respect to the sa gal. soon joker was called in. there sitting in a room was a very beautiful 30+ lady and an aging man which he guessed was like the prof or associate prof..okays lets see what happened shall we.. this is a brief answer by the joker for the experts.we just observe the short and simple answers yah?
question: joker, why you want accountancy?
answer : because accountancy guarantees me a job upon graduation. and its a professional degree. not anyone can do it . plus , my focus would be job security.
question: yes, let's take a look at your choices , you put accountancy 1st choice but LAW 4th choice. both acc. and law are professional , have good job prospects too. but why acc?
[ suddenly , joker felt the threat there]
answer : i have a liking for maths and prefer logical approach . thus, the natural inclination for accountancy. plus, i don;t think i would excel in law because i know my abilities. just not for me.
[joker smiled and knew he lost points there.joker was honest yet degraded himself]
question: okay , joker, can you tell us more about something you are passionate in? it can be things that are not related to school..
[joker's'heart was thumping.. joker was never passsionate in anything..but only one thing]
answer : ARCADE.
[ ........................... @@]
answer: yes, i am very into arcade especially racing cars. i've spent years practising and though i spent lots of money, i felt it was worth it being able to show your skills to wow the public. now, i am moving into newer games as there are more challenges for me.
[joker felt so stupid and was on the verge of laughing.. it wasn't a lie.. but it wasn't a very mature approach]
question: yes joker, what do you do during your free time to ENRICH yourself?
joker said to his heart, " god, i shall not lie about this ''
answer : oh nothing much actually. i just put in my best efforts to keep in touch with my old friends be it secondary school or college friends. friends are not easy to find these days. to me, friends are there to hear your thoughts and they do share their own experiences and thru this , i get to know more things than b4 and have a rough overview on certain topics ' that is how i felt how i could enrich myself.
whoa. interviewers seemed please.. SEEMED. but joker knew something was wrong.
last question: is there any question that you would like to ask us?
answer : nope, not at all. [smiled] thank you so much.
- the end of a screwed interview-
joker went out of the room and lots of thing went thru his mind. what happened to the key points.. what was with that passion .. what was so enriching... ah .. it was just that moment joker felt that joker missed the cut.. but bottom line was still this.. joker did not put a fake upfront. joker was purely himself. spontaneous but no substance...
moral of the story : do not be too honest ! and when they asked you whether you have any questions to ask.. YOU ASK! haha.. die die must ask.. to show that you are inquisitive.
joker called a few friends of his and told them the interview .. and they all laughed .. joker was happy to hear them laugh.. =]
well, let bygone be bygone.. today joker presented himself 'pretty well' . go ARCADE!!
oh dear ladies and gentleman.. how do you feel after reading this story.. i felt so much for him..somehow this incident was so close to my heart. all my love goes out to this boy yah.. poor boy.. well, at least he was happy about it.. being EAU NATUREL..well, there you go smu, a joker for the day who just hangs out with friends and plays arcade and wish to pursue accountancy.
hehe, anyways .. life goes on yah .. its not the end of the world.. one consolation for today my money came in!! hit 800 this month ..whee.. goodie.. going out later to meet up with my angklung friends..its been ages since i last saw them ..meeting them at city hall =]

1:12:00 PM
sMMOOOooTh OperAtor
today , was a great day.. i'm referring to EASTER yah..haha.. not only the day is blessed my pay for today is also blessed.. i shd be looking forward to a 7.5 dollars per hour from 12am to 7 am ..hehehe.. that was the thing that kept me going during my midnite shift.. a motivation that is even stronger than caffeine.. hehe..i would like to say that everything was according to my flow.. at abt 4.30 am i was very hungry . had a lousy dinner [economy rice] .. hehe.. so i went to POLAR puffs and pastries (which was just right in front of my shop ) to take a look .. i decided to buy the LAST chicken pie.. hehe and guess what.. the sales lady gave it away to me for FWEEE!!! yay! such a nice lady.. with a condition that she jokingly made.. that i have to treat her back some ice cream when she comes to my job.. haha "no problemlah mak cik ..steady lah". then at 5.30 my tummy grumbled again.. craving for something nice.. and with the strong will to persevere ..my neighbour offered me KAYA toast ..omg .. a string of gd luck.. hehe. plus with cafe latte that i made for this australian lady.. i received tips like abt 1 dollar.. =] my shift just rox lah.. haha
in the evening . went to CHINATOWN to meet up with my 'family' . aight.. its just great to take a look at the surroundings of chinatown.. a sense of belonging just stirred up in me..goes to show that my chinese blood is jz shining well man. haha. went to fd street to enjoy tang yuen at ah balling shop!! so nice .. yup gotta admit that the peanut soup is YUMMY.. but i have to try almond milk soup one day.. then we proceeded to the BALCONY at heerens.. yeah yeah .. enjoyed the ambience .. sipping some cocktails, mocktails and ice moccha .. laid back.. woohoo.. lots of hot babes right there.. not only at the BALCONY but in orchard itself.. i think its just the HOT PEOPLE's day out ..thank you god for this pair of eyes that you have given..
yup one thing interesting about the BALCONY was the checking of ID. this time around my id was checked . haha .. the guy was not convinced at all till i had to remove my cap. well, apparently he said that i dun even look of age.. hahhaa.. spontaneously, those words made my day,goes to show that i dun look old.. but when i told that to my sister.. she said perhaps it implied that i don;t look mature enuff.. wahlao.. ahhaa... but it's all right.. my sister and i joke all the time.. we cool about it. but what matters is my OWN perception .. yay!
then the finale of the day.. ARCADE.. woohoo.. i played daytona and drifting was never as thrilling as today;s match.. raced with one 'hao lian' kia . this race was just about ego . haha.. in the end.. i successfully made a critical drift which just made him give up.. haha.. and the best part was to park my car just b4 the finishing line and took my leave without even completing the course.. hahaha.. sorry if this sounds egoistic yah. but my actions spoke louder than words.. lets celebrate shall we? =] its all thanks to my family support . you guys rock lah..
reflection time: from a young age , my mama always tell me to smile..and now whenever i look in the mirror .. i slowly realise her msg. whenever i look at my face without the smile .. one word comes to mind: ARROGANCE. argh.. such a blaspheme. but luckily i am not the guy who dislike smiling.. whenever i don't smile.. ppl will just jump to conclusion saying that i am either pissed or sad when on the other hand , i am feeling okay. my mummy says, eric when you don't smile, you're just inviting trouble and i always had the thought of a stick come whacking into my face.. haha.. i am who i am yah.. its actually a test to see who really judge me by the looks..hehe.. oh well, like i said let;s be grateful for who we are.
saturday and sunday will be training sessions for my interview . gotta read up!! but first im going to watch WINDSTRUCK. korean movie.
cheers!
1:24:00 AM
wish i had a longer and bigger one..
that's rightt people.. i am pretty uncomfortable about myself..being tall yet..aihz..still stuck with a small ..bed. its been 19 years sleeping in a single sized bed.. i dunno how you call it.. i think its the normal bed lah huh.. hehehe..i find myself in tight situation when i have less space to move about in bed .. eventually, i have to curl into the cooked shrimp position.. i mean its natural but perhaps thats why i feel aches all over my body these past 2 years.. i NEED A COMFORTABLE QUEEN size bed.. my bro and sis have their own queen sized bed.. unfortunately, my room can't fit one either.. double damage to me..i can't wait to go back to seremban to conquer my sis's old queen sized bed.. yesh!!!!
been reading the newspapers this afternoon and boy, it sure saturates the mind.. and i jz read the editions dated march 10,11 12 and 13.. plus i only read those that were insightful.. hehe .. things like PM ABE's visit to the shrine and his comments on the sex slave during the war crisis back in 1940s , i forego.too OUT OF MY LEAGUE. haha. reading the newspaper will at least take one hour for one segment of the paper of a day's edition.. hehe.. i'm still slow as i can't comprehend the expressions and bombastic words.. i jz try to capture the gist. chatting with my niece ryt now as i type. going to hit the papers again once i'm done with this entry... argh.. 6 more hours to my midnight shift.. no!!!
this is a nice quotation i read from the papers, ' LUCK FAVOURS THE PREPARED' . yup! totally agree with it.. it's a bit wrong to define luck that way because we know luck is random right? you never know when it is coming.. this is a small chunk from the article that i read and it goes,
" what we refer to as luck results from preparation and perspiration. Idle, unprepared minds usually don't recognise opportunity. Neither will a negative mind that automatically goes into reverse when an innovative idea is proposed. the lucky pay their dues."
haha.. this sounds very economics and business ryt.. but its a true fact in life..
k ..done with my sharing, back to the papers.
3:05:00 PM
kdrama over! hello anime!
yay! finally i am done with my latest k-drama , MY LOVELY SAMSOON. one word. FANTASTIC. yesh.. a drama which is not draggy .. mainly focussing about the true facts of love..but we do have to realise that this is just a show lah .. can't be too convinced by these dramas.. they are just meant to make one's heart content. when i tell my friends that i watch korean drama.. i receive MIXED reactions.. some will excitingly share their opinions on their idols or the drama itself.. some will just say that its gay to watch.. my niece said i was a lousy romantic.. haha.. in a way..to me , i enjoy watching these dramas not only because its the HOLIDAYS and they are useful for me to pass time.. they are just there to feed my emotions..=] well , perhaps its just because i'm single.. its just fun watching how lovers come together.. giving me inspirations and putting me in a state of anticipation? .. is that a ryt line?hmmx.. i think there is some grammar mistake there but you know what i mean.. dramas are there to set me thinking about my future love life..how would she be like? what would i do for her birthday and what should i do to make her happy.. ah.. you might think that i am thinking too far ahead but hey.. planning is gd .. ' if i fail to plan , i plan to fail.' agree? haha
yes.. as i was saying .. the drama is over.. ANIME butts in .. hahaha.. to think that i would get down to some serious work after my 16 hours drama..[sighx] i am going to follow the japanese version of ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOM.. haha.. if i'm not mistaken this ROTK is a famous game in any arcade centres.. hehe.. i must read about this story when i have the chance to... BUT i know my priorities..my current top priority.. SMU INTERVIEW! .. received a call last fri abt my interview this coming monday .. [9th of april] .. omg.. they even need interview for admission.. i guess its really for the sake of sifting out the average and taking in the creme de la cremes in...aihz...i gotta start reading up about accountancy and update myself on CURRENT affairs just in case.. prepared a stack of newspapers..worth 2 weeks i think for tmr morning.. hehe.. shall be doing it the GP style once again.. its been a while since i had a proper interview.. the last one if i'm not mistaken is during my council term..aihz... i shall give my best.my brother once told me, " if you put in mediocre effort, just expect mediocre results' .. i keep tht phrase in mind kor... AJA ! FIGHTING!!
aihz.. in like 18 more hours ... i will be going to venezia doing my midnight shift.. 9 hours of 'sianness' .. the battle against my biological clock..fighting those sleepy eyes of mine.. cleaning the shop up at about 3 am.. wah kao.. nvm .. i will chat with my neighbour beside my stall.. she is is my 'da jie' .. giving treats like kaya toast and fishball noodle.. in the wee hours of the day.. haha.. okays i shall be looking forward to the midnight shift.
reflection time:
k this time i shall touch more on ppl relations rather than love lah k.. im not even attached and im talking abt love .. so 'wu liao'.yes yes.. white lies or false hope?? how often do we tell and give them respectively.. is it gd to be direct or beat around the bush to prevent someone's feelings from getting hurt. all my life .. i witnessed that both methods work .. hehe .. well it depends on how persuasive you are in telling them and whether the other party can move on fast? for those ppl who can't move on fast..i think its good to be direct .. wait a minute . it sounds wrong right? people who take longer time to recover , should be told off quickly.. that way ppl can spend more time healing.. the longer we lie , the harder the impact .. i understand that sometimes.. people will call u up one day telling their probs.. and MAJORITY which i believe , would prefer to be consoled than to receive another critic / a direct hit from you.. even i myself would like to hear comforting words.. but hey? are these consoling words really THAT necessary ... hehe.. maybe i'm insensitive ..but i focus more on the long run rather than cheering them up temporarily. consoling is a gd matter but as a friend we mz always set them in the right direction. guiding and encouraging them to stand up after their fall .. you gotta to be cruel to be kind..
why do i feel like i;m talking to a psychiatrist? must be the fact that i;m doing this at 1.30am .. going to bathe nw.. waking up early .. fresh and ready to hit the newspapers.. probably hang ard my KOPITIAM with my kayatoast and chatting away with old people .. lol..
12:41:00 AM
sunday morning rain is falling.. i like that
today was quite a good , relaxing day. woke up to meet up with my buddies for pool and a delightful sushi buffet. YUMMY. chatted about random stuffs..teasing here and there..went shopping and found some nice clothes.. ahaha.. bought one shirt with the words : WHERE MY BEACHES AT? those who can infer the real line .. good for you.. =) i am really fascinated with the suggestive words and pictures on the tshirts .. like, " SEXSI instead of pepsi in the pepsi logo.. or ORAL ME instead of ORAL B.. hehe the best that attracted my attention was this , " COMMA SUTRA" , which was commas placed at 'interesting positions' ./ hehehe.. gd investment yah.. but you gotta have massive confidence of wearing the shirt in public lah.. i must save alot of money for my new wardrobe.
right .. days seem to pass by with a blink of an eye.. and i have no regrets thus fafr.. knowing that i have completed all my applications , my heart is at ease and i'm just entertaining myself with k-drama and anime[files of young kindaichi] ... i can just watch without eating.. whoa.. thats some addiction i guess, a new form of dieting.. i realised how much i have missed during my secondary school and jc in singapore.. this is THE REAL HOLIDAY FOR ME .. and like i said..i;m loving it.
well i foresee that my uni batch [boys] who are much older than me.. will much MORE fitter than me .. and might have a high chance talkin only about NS.. aihz.. i'm already experiencing that with my guys outings.. hehe.. its gd to hear them describing their experience.. but sometimes.. i just get lost along the way.. i pray that my nxt coming batch would not be talking abt ns thru out the 3/4 years of their lives ..hahaha.. one of friend suggests me to get a gf .. haha. so i can jz devote my attention to her.. somehow i find some truth in that statement.. but .. love can''t be forced la yah.. let's just see whether my UNCLE PAUL's prediction is true...he once told me that university will be like a sea of fishes .. swimming randomly for me to pick...muahaha..thats according to his experience.. i doubt it 10%. i am yet to get a gf .. hehe.. anyone who knows any that suits me.. please recommend me yah..
reflection time:
love is something that changes a person's personality. u can be a crazy guy/gal on the outside..but when you're with that special someone, you just end up being mr romantic or miss shy. hehe that's love. when we are young .. affection is love , but as we grow older together , money will be the new love. yes..love is like a trade.. u sacrifiice your time with buddies for your personal time with ur loved one.. so its a give and take.. but there's a risk of losing friends along the way due to this move.. is it worth it? can u handle it? ..never make special moves on special days .. like confessions on vday..break up on ur lover's bday[of cos its just a suggestion lah] cos.if you were never meant to be for each other.. special days might appear painful for you next time.. or they might just be scars in ur memories which can't be erased..agree?
ppl say once we get attached, we might not appear to be as sweet as we used to be .. think about it yah? to me, its really relative..amongst my friends.. this statement appears to be 70% true only..=) a special friend once told me this, NEVER EVER USE THE WORD : always.it's a taboo in relationship. even when u're married.. this word seems to subject the person to a very huge responsibility.. it's like a chain bound to your feet.. look at these sentences.. : i will always wait for you no matter what.. i will always be there for you.. i will always this i will always that.. ah , at the spur of the moment , the other party may feel touched/ happy .. but in the long run .. the failure to keep to your mini promise will forever remain in the other party's mind.. good impressions last but negative ones are more severe.. remember that.. just try your best yah..
wah.. looks like i crapped lots abt love.. hopefully its not offensive to anyone out there reading this. just my sincere thoughts on this complexed feeling..
cheers!
