Procastinating

Sitting in the office now ... Tired and not in a mood to start typing in the endless survey results ... Just finished up with the call list of 210 clients which brought me through over 300 calls -_-"
Chewing on the "suan mei" candy sweetie mailed me =9 Haven't had one of these for ages ~ Thanks love.
Someone just told me that singaporeans are weird ... Well I'm not sure abt that but this call centre & all its daily activities surely are ...
Jane just mute her line and swore again -_-" not something rare here of coz everybody mutes and swears but will always sound friendly over the line ....
And Si Hui juz received a call from the police, apparently someone called them to inform us that our vehicle lights are on and he was concerned that our battery might run flat ... How nice -_-"
For me ... I'm sitting waiting for the weekly Bingo Game to start ... while procastinating to start on data entry ... HaHa what an office!
Once again I really should be starting on work. But ... LoL

Wine & Dine ... Chiongz ~

Home !
Cisco D&D was yesterday to be strict ... near 6 hours of time spent with young adults ~ with me feeling a tad kiddo ~ amongst the very adult environment yet I found that at whichever level people tend to act casual ... I would say "the same" with conversation topics aside ...
Quite obvious that "xiao di di" here has limited attention from the group but I wasn't totally neglected thanks joo teng and yang yang =) But with no less credit to my IPR abilities which i muz add has been going downwind since year 1 in poly... ( no idea why exactly but i can't seem to strike a conversation as easily as i used to =x )
All that aside ~ Food was good but i still prefered LCST's D&D buffet, Entertainment was professional without a doubt with mr. flying dutchman bringing the house down.
On the whole i would say in the past 2 days my very first hotel style D&D experiences were different and enriching ~ Cisco hanging on the adultish, professional and costly side with a low price on tickets and LSCT with a more young, casual and less costly yet higher priced ticketing.
Go figure ~ I'm confused myself ...
After D&D was another first ... Ministry Of Sound (MOS) my first clubbing experience ... Started a little conservative on my part but things went well ~ Met the younger crowd of HR & Sales made a few new acquaintances and learned that "dancing" is no more than moving ard on the super crowded dance floor. Everything was good cept the smokey environment and the general house pour being more of beer =x
We did stop at the introbar before moving to MOS ... BUT that was a short stay with a taste of the Singapore Sling ~
Don't know what I'm gonna tell folks at home with regards to the clubbing experience but no regrets ~ Gotta try stuff while I'm y0ung thought i've doubts of going clubbing again anytime soon ... HaHa

Well and thats a wrap ... D&D ...

Dinner & Dance 17th Mar 2006
Finally ... It came and it went ... Nostalgic thoughts floods my mind over and over as i finally get to sit infront of my laptop after over a week slogging on work and play.
Don't know why so many things have been happening ... First person I miss is still gonna be Bevan ... brother, if you read this ... know I care ...
Ah yes ... once again very soon I'll be a dipolma holder waiting to move into the next phase of life ... Currently starting a temporary life with CISCO's CALL CENTRE, its taking me quite awhile to integrate not exactly very me ... but age is perhaps a problem or issit juz me ? HaHa
Anywayz, D&D was fun and worth every cent ~ Not as grand as expected yet grander ... haha confused ? so am i :P Felt like the last time I'm gonna have the whole chunk of people u walk through waving to every Tom, Dick and Harry... I'm gonna miss LSCT, Ngee Ann, everything and everyone =x
Maybe I shouldn't keep going on and on abt it ... have to go now ... maybe i'll carry on later with pictures =p
A side note ~ Sweetie Thanks for being there with me ! =) It meant everything to me that you are there by my side -hugs-

Sheez Knighthood and Today ...

Mario Creator dubbed Knight of the order of Arts and Letters !!!

"PARIS : Japanese designer Shigeru Miyamoto, who created Mario, the video game superhero and Nintendo mascot, was Monday rewarded by France for his contribution to the virtual world.
In an unprecedented move, France's Culture Minister Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres awarded Miyamoto the knight of the Order of Arts and Letters"

Okie ... If this is knighthood ... what happened to horse-riding, swash buckling men of arms ? Sheez ...

Updates ~

Hey Hey ~
Been over a mth since my last update ... apologies but i've been bz with sch and all ... Well I'm officially done with the academics ! =)
Been working with good ol' JT back at CISCO securities! No I'm not a guard ... If anything I'm more of customer relations.

Hmmm ... I guess since my last update alot has happened ... But I'm glad its all ended on a lighter happier note =)

Michelle dearest is definately recovering from her flu =) Thank God! -hugs-kisses-

Ms Leo and yours truely has finally cleared a big misunderstanding spanning over the past couple of years and everything seems much more in place and i can gladly leave Ngee Ann closing a chapter with a nicer ending ... I hope ...

Currently sitting at SDAR blogging while waiting for edmund to come back to his office so we can talk abt camp =\ Hopefully we can get this sort out today.
I'm getting quite irritated waiting frankly ... its 3:44pm and meeting was supposed to be 3:00pm.

The Final Leg ~

As with literature ... each book has its chapter ... each series its volumes ... Life too is constantly related as such and why not ? HaHa ... after all it is the international stage where each plays a detailed story of his own.
A story so complex only GOD may find understand it all ... A tale of action, romance, comedy, drama, horror and perhaps every genre you can name all intertwined into a timeless classic.

Heres a summary of mine;

Preschool days
Can't remember much from here ... but that one inccident causing a scar is hard to forget *rubs forehead* -shrugs-
Perhaps the daily time with coussie ~ The days when we were actually close ...
Listening to the meaningless gossips each adult has to say abt the other. This is what i call corrupting the minds of the innoncent.

Kindergarten
Innocent times where learning to love and "hate" is a part of everyday life ... Nothing seems more important than catching "gummy bears" and "johnny quest" =)
Daily prayers at the chapel and grace at meal tables. Super sweet milo with biscuits and wonderful porridges. Fun time at the school well and playgrounds. Bible verse compeititons and graduation performance.
Spending time with daddy and mummy ... Flying kites and chalets ... Swimming and building sand castles ~ This goes on till lower primary ends ...
HaHa ... Ah yes ... the simple yester-years.
Roger, Alfred, Brian and Benjemin ... some names that I kept in heart through the years ... Don't know if they remember ... Don't know if I'll ever meet them again ...

Primary School
Antisocial me as you would had guessed has little friends even in primary school ~
Sharil <-- daddy's friend's son
This guy very much comprised of my lower primary days.
Cub Scouts and days of detention (result of BAD english) ... PETS and reading corners ... the garden (friendly uncle and chickens) ... the dentist (evil woman) ... Recess and "hamtam bola", "base" and catch ... "zero points" and hop scotch and of coz the Young Scientist Cards, ... juz naming a few things that comes to mind ...
Upper primary perhaps related more to "I hate maths", "The Famous Five", "Nancy Drew", "Hardy Boys", Mini Tennis, Art Club, Computer Room ... the arcade ... poor chinese and screwed up maths ... HaHa
Here we have names like:
ShuiMing, Wenlin, SweeLeng, JianLin ? something along that line ...

Secondary School
This is where it all changes ... complications
Social circle booms ~ NPCC, Student Council ...
From cadet to s/sgt. sums up my promotions with the corp.
From student councilor to level head and also head of rebellion ... HaHaHa
First mate, Lab partner and my best friend ... Bevan ... Memories may fade ... but like that scar on my forehead somethings never will ...
First cadetmate, Shahid ... nv forget the first thing said "Hey you from jing shan ?"
Too many memories to simply list ...
ADC, ATC, Annual LTC, Annual Training Camps, trips to various police establishments ... Ah yes ... and all those other field trips ... Time in the council room playing carom.
The HallMark of a social butterfly ... Establishment of Unlimited Youth Inc. : Bevan, Clay, Henry, Shahid, Joel, Xj, Dap, Chris ... BBQs and Movie outings ... Chalets and Juz slacking ... Such were the glory days which in memory shall ever stay.
My various atempts of falling in love ... and of coz My First Love ... Sweet ... Memorable ... Unforgettable ... approximate 2 years of acquantianceship ... and never again ... Oh well perhaps it was my fault ...
Some other names that are significant: Deyang, Ms Tan Li Shan, Ms Emily Low, Ms Lee, Mr Subash etc.

Post Secondary
Who says you can't enjoy while you're suffering the pains of loss ? HaHa ... Drinking and Working ... YGM ... Promoting ... CISCO and SARS ... Life is perhaps a daze back in this period ... I guess I wish I could forget ... but then the circle of friends keeps growing ...
Doreen, Desmond, Joo Teng, Chris, Sab, Joy, Eliane, Sergent, Firus, Alvin, yixin, meiling, mei jing and so many more ...

Poly Days
This is the volume that i shall close in 2 weeks time ...
From FOC to FOC ... that is how I shall see it ... My freshman year "Flash", My GL year "Griffins" and my last two FOCs ... "AGL"
Some terms yet again : FOCs ... NPOB ... Venturejuana... Fencing, Pesta Sukan, Lame, Plastron, Sabre, Max Tune II, Innotrek, Slacking, Ubin, Coffee, Ophir, Ledang, Panti, OBS, OBA, OBSA, Mamut, IVP, SALT, alot alot more ... LaLaLa ~
Of coz there are so much more inbetween ... Falling in and out of love again is a problem ... But of coz Failure like they all say is the mother of success ~
Currently happily attached with the love my life ~ Ms Michelle Woo Yen Fen
Some other names that played important roles in the past 2 odd years: Jessica, MingHui (quite a few), Brian (again another handful), Edmund (somemore), Felix, Ayu, Casper, JiaRong, Jason (another lot), Shaun (and agian), Yan Jun, Ivan, Benjemin and many more ...

and thats a summary of my Life so far ... of coz there are more details ... juz never really mentioned nothing is only Black/White ... there are always shades of grey ... HaHa

Okie I guess i slacked enough ~ Time to chiong ~ Last 2 exam papers for the nxt two years !

Happy CNY

Ah yes yet again Simon Strikes !
muHaHaHa ~
OKie ... updates ... I have absolutely no idea where i left off ... definately before CNY ...

Poly life is drawing to an end ... come to think of it ... its pretty weird when someone like me slackin' all my poly life freshman till ... well each passing year up till it finally strikes u "I'm gonna graduate nxt mth" that u realise ... there is no more "I'll be better nxt sem"
All of a sudden it all dawns to u ... goosh ... 1 mth ... so many things left undone ... so many mistakes to correct ... so many more things i could had done ...

For me ~ I guess there are alot I would had wanted to do ... for example perhaps kept to my exercise schedule ... be less tempermental (which i know i'm not very but still ...) ... actually do my assignments and studying regularly and diligently ... perhaps stayed with the bounders longer ... maybe sabah might had been not that bad an idea ... then again maybe actually spending more effort than money on fencing ... I don't know
With friends ... I guess I'm alrite for a social guy ... but i guess there are people i owe apologies to ... and people i owe more ... I expect alot when people become close friends ... yet i don't give as much as a close friend ... I'm not perfect I'm aware ... I shall learn ...

Heres a few pix from recently ...

Weird Guy

I find myself to be weird person at times i can't juz seem to understand even myself ... Well now that the projects are all concluding/concluded ... I feel relieved ... the sudden influx of time and space is drowning me ...
I took a moment back while i was watching FMA ... and i found that I've been so bz I've neglected my friends ... their feelings ... I think I keep claiming I know ... but deep down inside I know that I don't ... I feel that everything is drifting from me ... everyone is drifting from me ... the world seemingly is withdrawing as my last semster draws nearer and nearer to the end ...
Taking a moment to consider ... Am I at fault ? Am I thinking too much ? Or is this all too real ??? I don't know ...
I'm sorry ... I'm sorry ... everybody ...

Alot of thoughts ... too much to think ... too little time ... too little energy ... too little guidance ... I need a guide ... lord show me the light ... send me yet another guide ...

tired ... sick ... drained ...
still missing michelle ... :s

Haiz ~

Well ... Novices ended with my individual ranking of 16th eliminated in first DE. Team event was a screw case ... but still stole the silver :P though it would had felt better if I had actually took even one strike at the opponent teams =x
Anywayz ... yeapz so that concludes Novices ... I'm graduating soon ... Work piled up over the semester is killing me ... FYP is killing me ... but everything has reached some kinda thrashold and I'm juz glad everything stablized ...
Been super moody these days ... muz be the work and the lack of slp and all ... I feel deprived of a life ... I feel I'm not giving enough attention to my gal ... I don't know alot of negative thoughts =x don't like that ...
Please ignore this post ... I'll post up some more positive stuff soon :)

Yawnz ~

Hello ~ I'm bored ... I miss my dearest michelle =x ... I wanna see u and juz sit ard doing dumb things ... talking abt everything and nothing ... *sighs*

Sick and Tired of NEVER-ENDING projects ...

Hence I shall dedicate this song to everyone taking part in this wonderful Never-Ending torment ...

*sings to "This Is The Song That Nv Ends" tune*
These are the projects that NEVER ENDS ~
It goes ON & ON my friend ~
Some people started ~ giving some ... not knowing It'll KILL ~
Ends up killing everyone ~
But Its still will never end !!!
lalala~ la~la~la~la~

Does it sound dumb ? maybe ...
Do I sound insane ? likely ...
Am I really going bonkers ? perhaps ...
Have I finished my work ? Definately ... NOT !!!

ARGHhhhhhhh ~ F**K
