BMT and Tees

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 04:34:11 GMT

I'm back from my BMT training down at pasir ris camp. Well, not exactly la. I came back because I'm having a fever and have a 7-days MC. Feeling quite weak now. But nevertheless, It's a welcoming break from routine. Going back on thursday night.

Anyway, If you don't already know, I am starting a t-shirt business. I got the supplier already so the next step is to get designs.

I am now officially asking everybody and anybody whether you are interested in designing t-shirts or not. If you are then you could just comment on this entry. Everything else we could discuss in details afterwards. Just express your interest and I will get back to you asap.

Cheers.

Things hasn't been going well for me recently. Problems just keep on surfacing. I don't who can I blame or should I blame myself? For now, things can be said to be resolved. But I'm afraid problems might resurface again. Time will heal everything. This sentence might be true, but time is precisely something that I don't have a lot left. Maybe the transformation of boy to men in the army would do me well. I'm sure of that.

OKAY! Finally got materials to update everyone of my life!

So from 12th to 15th march, I was working at the IT show. Got this lobang from my friend. Wanted to get more people to work! But can't really do that since it's my friend's lobang AND ALSO, they only want people that are photographers, quite hard to find la. hahaha. Anyway, the job was fun and enjoyable. Although the four days are spent talking non-stop and standing the whole day, I must say it's very worth it. Considering the amount of photography information I absorbed from the pros. Added incentive.

On a whole, I sold 30 items during the IT show. Not too bad for a newbie I suppose. 10 dSLRs, 14 printers, 3 digital photo frames and 3 digital cameras. Among the group, I got one of the lesser count of things sold. Hopefully the agency would call me back for the next IT show man, I really enjoyed working with them and learning from them. Nice.

Ohh by the way, the shirt above is the shirt I wore for IT show. Sony Alpha shirt.

After resting for one full day; waking up at 3pm, I started my new job on the 17th march at IRAS. Working as mostly customer service. Basically we are needed because currently now, it is the time to file your income tax if you don't already know. Anyone that has stayed in singapore for more than 183 days in the year 2008 and has an income of more than 20K, you have to file your income tax this year, in the year 2009. Don't think you can escape the Singapore government, it's impossible. hahaha.

This job is totally another new experience compared to the IT show. But one thing's for sure, the pay is goooooood. hahaha. I need the money la. Broke most of the days and I'm sick of it. Gotta work!

After working for so many days in a roll, I have decided to take a break after my IRAS job ends, which is around april end. My days after that would be devoted to training up my physical and also wait for enlistment letter. The next time I would most probably work should be during the next IT show already, which is at around June I guess? Not very sure yet. Just hope they call :x

Went for a friend's performance the other day. No. This is not the guy. This guy's name is called.. I forgot. But he has a my space page that is named ForThisCycle. So let's just name him FTC. So FTC is 16-years-old this year and is a talented singer cum songwriter. He is gonna release an EP soon. After hearing his singing, I must say, I kinda impressed by it. Not bad for a 16-years-old, not bad at all. He can sing, and is not exactly scared of crowds. Just felt one thing from the performance, needs to improve on enunciation. I can't really hear his lyrics properly although the melody is good.

Okay. Enough of him. And so I was there to support my friend, Ryan. He has a band. SavingSomeone. The music was good. The performance was much better than the other performace they had at The Esplanade. Guess it's because of the environment? and the venue? Maybe la. Haha. Overall, they are not that bad as a band. If they ever make an EP, I think I would support and buy one (:

Photo Update & Boring Post

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 07:40:49 GMT

Some of my "harvest" after a trip to Old Changi Hospital (OCH) with the Visual Central (VC) members. Yes, the haunted one. I must say, the place is HUGE man. We barely covered the place in 1hour plus? I personally feel that it's not as eerie as the Mitre Hotel. Maybe because Mitre Hotel is more closed up and dark, that's why it looks more eerie. I would love to go back to Mitre Hotel again! Since the other time didn't get to go inside to take a look. Haha. Seen photos of those photograhers that managed to somehow go in, damn nice sia. I'm so envious. Must try my luck again some time.

School is starting, in 48hours more, I would be into my new and final semester. Well, I just hope and pray that I would be able to pull it off with one go and not come back for sub paper. Passing all my modules with a B? My last ditch effort to pull up my grades. My grades are atrociously decimated. Don't know what I've been doing these pass few semesters.

It feels quite scary man. Thinking that I'm going to graduate from polytechnic (hopefully!!!), going into National Service (NS). NS is not the scary part man. In fact, I actually look forward to it! Haha. A more disciplined and routine life. Although it gets boring after awhile, but at least you don't need to think about what to do next right? Everything is planned out for everyday. And you get paid being healthy and working out! So now to the scary part, life after NS. I don't know what I'm going to do man. Go Uni? (of cause not the good ones la! only SIM will take me la! haha! since they work according to the moolah you give them.) Or follow in my parent's step in being a housing agent? It's not a bad profession la. If I'm willing to work for it, I might earn a lot of money from it. God knows, I might even save enough to start a company for my parents to manage! At least that's what my mum wants me to do. Simply because the examination to get a license to start a company is too tough for their dying cells. Haha. So I guess I would still be forced to take the examinations. Oh wells, its not that tough la. Memorising only.

Hmm.. So this is life huh. Im at a crossroad once again. But this time round is more serious, It's my career im deciding on. Something I have to depend on to support myself and my family. Let's just take one step at a time and see how it all goes.

:)

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:57:17 GMT

I suddenly has this urge to go back to school and have a fruitful semester. Start being a good student and revise my work. Get good grades to pull my GPA up. Graduate then army comes calling. I just want to have a grade that looks good on my diploma. Does not need to be extremely good, but just the average. I would rather look to the future than the past. What's passed is passed, nobody can do anything to change them. I just really really hope that I could keep up with the pace and finish well. With no re-takes needed and no uncertainties.

I watched a show recently. There's this particular sentence that struck me.

"Every man makes decisions. Good or Bad."

This sentence made me think. I realized i have made many decisions too. But unfortunately, most of them bad. On the academic front, bad decision on not making an effort to study for my O levels, bad decision on not working hard for my past semesters in TP. On the relationship front, bad decision on letting hannah down when it matters, bad decision on my occasional bad attitudes towards friends, bad decision on my lack of selflessness.

Bad decisions. Tons of them. I've live to regret them. Every single one of them. Many of these things that has happened could be avoided, if I had waken up sooner. Many hearts would not be broken if i had been more careful with my feelings. I guess this is life. We learn from lessons, this is how humans grow and mature. This is the whole point of being alive. To learn what we need to learn and deal with things we often think we could not.

HOLIDAY

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 15:56:00 GMT

And so, I just came back from bangkok on saturday after a 5-days stay there. Stayed in this hotel shown above named Baiyoke Sky Hotel. It's the tallest building in the whole of Thailand. Guess which floor is the hotel lobby at? 19TH FLOOR!! I stayed on the 67th floor. Wa, the journey up to my room never fails to block my ears. There's even a 360-degree revolving roof deck on the 84th floor, showing the vast kingdom of Thailand. Thailand is so big that you can't even see the end of bangkok standing there. The view there is great man! But it's kinda scary la, cause the only barrier between life and death is a metal fence. Scary.

Bangkok is a shopper's paradise man! Everything is sooooo cheap over there! The food is cheap, the clothes is cheap, even their transport is cheap! And i can say that it's a lot safer than Malaysia. Bought quite a lot of things back. It's really a good break from Singapore's busy and hectic lifestyle. Looking forward to next year's family outting, heard it's either Shenzhen or Taiwan. Haha. Anyhow, I believe it would be really fun.

(P.S. to Myself - Start saving for a Japan trip)

THE END

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:00:15 GMT

Time flies man! In a blink of an eye, my MP/SIP has ended already. 19 weeks man.

It just seem yesterday that i just started my MP/SIP, in my first week, thinking of how I'm going to survive through all these. How I'm going to complete this project of mine and pass this freaking module.

Now, everything is over and I'm relieved, that my project is also completed. I just hope that i don't have to come back for extra days because of my frequent lateness and absence :/

MP/SIP

This is what I've been up to these past few days, or weeks. Did so many things for so many weeks just for this test. Alright, the pictures don't really tally with the shape and size, but, you understand the process la. It just involved crushing something me and my team-mates made with our hearts. So this is a compression test. We traveled all the way to NUS to conduct this test. I tell you, NUS is a maze man! We nearly lost our way there! Haha. It was an eye-opener being at NUS. Looking at all the machines they have, machines in Polytechnics are really nothing man. And we think it's tough. We even manage to get a visit to the place where they culture cells! Grow cells and do tests on them. Yea. So basically, I've been slogging for the past few weeks to make these plasticine-like things. BUT! If they are done properly and in a controlled environment, they can save lives man! Of cause, the ones we made can only be used for tests, not for the body.

For now, my project is ALMOST complete, I just have my final report to complete. Sounds easy eh. No, It's not. Really.

If you could invent one thing and make it a reality, what would it be? Why?

Saw this question under the Writer's Block section on the livejournal homepage.
For me, I would invent something that can help people do things after they are dead.
Help the dead fulfill things that they want to do but cannot do.
Help the dead do things that they want to do but didn't have the time to do.

Hmm. Weird idea huh. Don't know. Maybe it's just my body telling me I'm tired enough already. Haha. Goodnight :)

FILMS

Sat, 02 Aug 2008 10:01:24 GMT

Watched a few films recently. Most of them are old but nevertheless, good films. Lets start with the newest one.

Money No Enough 2 --

Well. Everyone expects A LOT from local productions. Especially something from jack neo. It sure has funny moments during the film, but i feel that the first film is more laughable. Think its the high expectation of me after watching the first film, and its absolutely normal. The first will always be better right? haha. Overall, its a good movie as its funny and also contains lots of current issue happening in singapore. ERP, bad drugs (andrea de cruz?), love of parents, elderly home etc. Jack neo's movie are always like that, funny yet enriching.

Facing The Giants --

A Christian film that really touches my heart. Its very inspiring. Looking at the football team play for something they believe in and something they want to achieve so bad makes my heart warm. Its all in the mind. Put everything into God's hands and trust, and everything will work out right. This film shows us that determination is a must in whatever we do. The coach of the team waited 4 years for a baby. This shows that its not that God doesn't want to give, but He wants to give the best to us and nothing else. God gave the nod, and they won the championship. Amen.

Glory Road --

I love to watch these type of shows. Films that tells a true story. This film tells a story of how a female basketball team coach goes to a college to coach a male basketball team. In the process of building the team, he brought in seven black players. At that time, racism is at its peak and blacks are deemed as trash. This film shows how a white coach trust in seven black players and brought back the championship. As this is a true story, nobody can say that its all bullshit. Great show.

friend

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 07:27:11 GMT

Not long ago, there was this female friend that I spoke to almost every night. On msn, through sms. So much so that I feel weird not talking to her for any particular night. There was once i even dozed off while chatting with her. I think it went on for maybe three months? Not a short time definitely. But all of a sudden, It just stopped. Everything ended. No more chats on msn, no more sms-es. Everything went back to the time before the three months of talking. Everything went back to the weird weird kind of feel. I don't know what happened. What happened that ended this friendship? Of cause we still talk once in awhile. But the feeling is totally different now. We talk because we have to, not because we want to. I seriously don't know what happened. Is is something i do wrong? I'm really wondering why some things happened and some doesn't. I really hope this friendship would come back again. This period of casual talking. I hope.

My Father

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 06:51:16 GMT

This is the only photo of my father and I. I think. My mother always tells me how handsome he is, how good he is. Well, based on this photo, I can only say that the standard of being handsome has risen quite a lot since those days. Haha. But truthfully, I still think my father is quite handsome. The part on him being a good husband and a good father is undeniable. Based on what my mother told me about him, he is truly a good man. He used to bring me out everyday once he reaches home. He would like call out to me once he reaches home, without even taking his shoes off. Then i would dash out and wear my shoe and then we would both go out to the nearby 7-eleven to buy some snacks for myself. Everyday, this would happen. This shows how much love he has for me. He's a good man. I aim to be like him. father-to-son. (:

There's always a reason for anything that happens. My parents hate it when I take a cab to school, even when I'm late for school. They would always nag and nag and nag after they find out. But they always miss out a point, would i have taken a cab to school if they are willing to fetch me to school just for that day? It's just for one day and It's a no?

I always thought that parents are the people who are the most anxious about their children's studies. Whenever their children is late for school, they would do anything possible so that they wouldn't be late. But my parents, or rather, my father works in a different way. Take for example today. I'm late for school. I wanted to take a cab to school and I can be sure that I wouldnt be late, but that would cost a lot. So i asked him to fetch me to school. I'm all ready to go at 8.20am. Prepared myself faster than usual. In the end, I only left house at 8.40am. I was late for school. At that moment, I really regretted not taking a cab, regretted for believing that I would be able to put my trust in him to bring me to school on time. Stupid me. So i vow to myself, from today onwards, If I'm late for anything, I'm never going to take his ride again. Cab is the only way i can reach in time.

I believe this only happens to me, unless you have a step-father too? While I was on the car just now, I was wondering what would have happen if the person driving me to school is my biological father. Would he have stand up immediately and get prepared when i asked him to send me to school? Would he have speed down to tampines driving 100km/h? Would he have chided me all the way to school and upon reaching, tell me to take care in school? So many unknowns.

Things doesn't always happen the way we want it to be. But if there's a chance, I would give anything to exchange my father's love back. I believe it's a growing process and everyone needs both their parents to be around to be able to develop well. And for that simple reason, my mother is tied down to this failed marriage. Simply because of my little sister. If she wasn't born, I would have long moved out with my mother and start life afresh. Life would be a lot better.

If you have the time, please do go search this guy's videos. He's damn good. He sings well and is also very humble. If he ever releases a full album, I would definitely go buy it. Hopefully i can achieve half of what he achieved, and that is already very tough for me. Haha. Anyway, Life has been boring for me. Year 3 in poly, everyday end school at 6pm, how much more retarded can this lifestyle get. I really hope this period can pass quickly and i can graduate from poly REAL soon. Although life hasn't been great for the past few weeks, there's still one thing that i can't wait for it to happen. business plan! wahahahahahah! bye.

PResent and MAny more

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:51:37 GMT

This is the bag my friends bought for me. Wanted to say thank you to all of them. BUT! I still not very sure who got contribute, so better not put the name here lest they never contribute. Haha.

Anyway, just came back from Genting with my family. All my cousins, my grandmother and also my aunties went, machiam family gathering. Haha. I always thought Genting was boring because I went there too many times already and all the theme park rides there i ride before already so no big deal. I always stayed in singapore whenever my family went over to Genting, thinking that It would be damn boring over there, but this trip let me understand some things.

To say that I have taken most of the rides in Genting is definitely not an understatement. Even before this trip, I was still thinking what can I do there and what rides is still fun for me. But after the trip, I was surprised to find that I went to the theme park and had lots of fun! I even took a ride called flying coaster 4 times! Sometimes we shouldn't think that since we had done it before, second time won't be as nice. I think it all boils down to the company you have there. I really had fun over at Genting with my cousins.

I feel that Genting is a good place for friends to chill out and relax or have some fun. Genting is not all about gambling. You might have already finished every single ride in the theme park, but when you play again, there will still be the excitement there. Furthermore, if you go with people who hasn't really take certain rides that you have taken before, their excitement will affect you too. It's a cheap alternative to other more costly places but It's definitely a place good enough for people to relax and enjoy. The cost there is really VERY low. I spend less than 200bucks buying lots of stuff for myself. And where can you watch a movie for less than 6bucks? With less than 8bucks, you can even watch movie sitting on a Osim massage chair! Its really a place where you can enjoy and relax and have fun while not needing to pay loads of money.

BUT! There's still one regret i have for this trip. I NEVER GO FOR MASSAGE~!! :(

The human spirit knows, that all lives intersect.
That death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else.
In the small distance between being taken and being missed,
lives are changed.

My family came back form vietnam today. On top of the excitement regarding the things they bought for me, I also felt relieved that they came back safe and sound. Just recently, I was wondering how everyday would pass if someone important in my life is taken away from me. And I might not yet know that this person is important to me. Humans are funny creatures, we will only learn of the importance of something when we lose it. Few among us manage to understand this logic before we even loses something. I think my life would change drastically. If my mum is to leave me, I think my world would come tumbling down. Losing my dad at a young age is not really that painful because I don't even understand death yet. Although my mum's life had changed drastically since my dad's death, mine is almost the same. Maybe just a bit of emptiness when i was young. You know, like looking at other families with three people and wondering how come mine only has two, stuff like that. But that period had passed and I've grown out of it. I hope.

Ever since my mum married my step-dad, there came two more addition into this family, Jeremy and Alyssa, My step-siblings. Although we had a lot of problem with my step-dad's ex-wife, who died recently, I did not have a single problem with my step-siblings. I've always wanted someone to share my joy and pain since young, someone who's my generation, you know. Their mum passed on just last week, and before that, my mum and step-dad was talking about downgrading the flat, since we don't really need such a big flat. There's just one big question in my mind now, are they coming to stay with us? Seriously speaking, if they are coming, I wouldn't mind at all. It's always good to have more people in the house. To have more people to look out for each other, to make the house more cosy and lively. I like that.

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!

Thu, 22 May 2008 16:47:34 GMT

MANCHESTER UNITED ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!
THEY DO THE DOUBLE!

And so we celebrate the crowning of Manchester United to be the Champions of Europe and England. I watched the match last night. Can't really say that It's a very entertaining match, at some point of the match, It's actually quite boring. Overall, both teams have chances to finish the game but none did. Man U's goal is really a set-piece brilliance, It's almost identical to the one scored by ballack against Man U the other time. Chelsea's equaliser on the other hand is more of luck than skill. Nobody would expect the ball be deflected off two players and nobody would expect the ball to fall into the path of lampard. But then again, football is somewhat a game of luck, so i suppose we should not be too critical on how It is scored. If It's a goal, It is a goal, we cannot change that fact. I think Man U really deserved this title, they have waited a very very long time already. To be able to win the Champions League on top of the grueling EPL season, we should really kowtow them man.

Been sick the whole of last week, missed the vietnam trip too. Maybe It's God's way of keeping me in singapore. It all started with a mild fever and a sudden sorethroat on monday night. Went to two GPs, consulting them three times over four days, didn't help. In the end, i went to NUH on thursday night. Had six bags of drips, an injection and a blood test. I was diagnosed with Acute Tonsilitis. Left the hospital with 6 different types of medicine man. The following few days was a torture. Can't get to sleep, sweating all over, frequent visit to the toilet, It was unbearable man. I'm just so glad that everything is back to normal and i can have a good sleep every night (:

time to sleep. goodnight!
