Do you know the sentense above covers all all the alphabates on the keyboard?!
Ahhhh.... what does this tell u?


I am freakin bored at work.... @_@

Weekend recharge

Phew! the weekend is finally here.
I really needed this wkend!

Was out with friends for dinner and movie. After a week of working and being surrounded by acquaintances, it is really refreshing, relaxing and rejuvenating to hang out with old friends..... not that they are old... just people i know for some time.... (gotto make it clear. Dont wanna get myself into BIG trouble. Haha)

We watched Kate Beckinsale. I mean, we watched Underworld: Revolution.... They were really nice.. her as... i mean.. the
PLOT! ahaha But she is really one beauty. Her victorian face and features... almost look perfect. Unfortunately, there were some explicit scenes which the show could have done without (not that i didnt enjoy it.. oh i did... i didddddd....:P~~~). It kinda degrades the show to seem as though it needed these scenes to raise its ratings. But the fact is, I would think Underworld part 1 was better.

Ankle report!
Ankle is much better now. Finally begin to be able to walk normally without limping on friday. But it still hurts though. Just not enough to make me limp anymore. However, every morning, its still a pain (literally) to get out of bed. After a night of rest, my feet will hurt badly for the first 5 minutes of contact with the ground. But alls well.

Its 3am! off to bed now. Tomorrow is a brand new day. :)

my niece... sleeps

Yes. She sleeps. and thats about all the memory i have of her.

Over the past 3 wks, i visited 4 times. And all 4 times, she SLEEPS! According to my sis, she was hyper active last night. But today when i go visit, she decides to sleep her way through my visit once again. Even through feeding. She sleep-feeds! She deprives me from seeing her cute smile and almond shape eyes!

I think i repeal girls. Seriously. -_-""

Life is a Journey.

It really is...

We have visual conformation.

 
Finally, visuals again. Just reinstalled my HELLO! The free time that comes with a sprain ankle.

Sprain Ankle....Again

Was trying to get to work early today so i can have more time to get familiarized with the morning rituals i have to perform. But as if it is a curse, I sprain my ankle while running for the bus! As I did at the end of the first month of my previous contract. Its like a curse!

The pain was immense! I had to flung my bag off just to prevent myself from falling face front into the concrete pathment *drama* . And after regaining my balance, the only thing i could do was to sit down by the curb... cold sweat flushed down my face as I feel the blood DRAINED from my face... and words fail me. I tried to stand, but my right foot just gave way to my weight. I was completely helpless. After 5 minutes, I manage to start limping toward the bus stop. By the time i got to the bus stop, i was exhausted. Blood was still drained from my face, and pain overwhelming. Not long another bus came and I was on my way to work.

I usually cant sleep on the way to work, but maybe its because of the pain, i was exhausted and slept all the way to work. But when i alight the bus, what used to be a 5 minutes stroll to the office... turned out to become a 20 minutes struggle... with a few stops now and then to take deep breaths.

The whole day was horrible. I could barely walk. Fortunately, my boss also agrees that i should go get my foot attended to. So i got off at 330 to go to the polyclinic for xray.

The ordeal at the polyclinic was another thing. To keep things short, I think the doc didnt appreciate me asking if I could take an xray first since the xray department was closing.. so I feel she could have delibrately NOT allow me to take xray and asked me to come back again if it doesnt recover... THEN, take the xray.... i fail to see the logic.

The whole purpose for me to get xray taken is so that to make sure there is no hairline fracture. IF so, i could safely get my foot attended to by a chinese sinsei. But since i could not be sure, i tot i would just go to a sinsei and get some chinese medicine applied onto my hurting ankle. Especially since i can feel my foot either becoming more numb... or just beginning to feel better, as it seem to be able to hold more of my weight already.

Thats where my SECOND ordeal came. Without asking me what happened and examining my ankle, the sinsei gave my ankle a quick SNAP! ( literally the sound i heard ) I could have sworn my ankle was dislocated at that point in time, and while holding back the yell of pain, look around the floor to see where my ankle flown to -_-"

And there you have it. Just when i tot it was getting better, the sinsei snapped the daylights out of me. Now I am back once again to the same state as i was this morning. Blood is no longer drained from my face, but I am once again unable to apply pressure on my foot. I have problem even walking to the toilet to brush my teeth...... sigh... is this another one of those divine plans god has installed for me? No idea... but i sure hope its worth it. After suffering SOOoo much pain. I really hope its worth it...

After being warded into SGH last monday, My Grand-dad departed last saturday morning.

The wake was only 3 days but it has envoked many tots.
About how a person lives his life.
and about how society has forgotten "kindness" as a virtue.
Now, it is deemed as a weakness.

Spring cleaning and two pink shirts.

After 4 hours of cleaning, clearing, stacking and tidying... i finally managed to see the floor of my typhoon struck room! Whoohoo!! This calls for a celebration! Lets PARTY!!!! and mess up the room again..? no way man! While clearing my room, i set Jay chou's new album "november chopin" in repeat... cool new songs... and as he always does.... there is one of those songs that leaves a bitter sweat feeling when u listen to it. Not too sure about the lyrics... (i mean.. who actually CATCHES his singing/rappin/mumbling when listening for the first time? ) but the melody itself already gives that kinda bitter-sweet after taste. ... its call "Wind" or Feng1.

As for the shopaholic update.... i wore a pink polo t, and bought 2 pink shirts last saturday when shopping with the guys for cny clothes. haha. one from U2.... short sleeves, and one from Esprite.. casual long sleeved dark pink stripes. Dont think it goes with the black office pants i got from G2000 at only $33!! when the original price is $79 i think. Suit pants.. but i think they are getting rid of the old stocks to make way for the new. and it was the ONLY one with my size... ....er.... 29!! hahaa... nah.. i am a 31.. ok la. not THAT bad la.


Aahhhhh.... another day... another dollar...... less:(

change

Perspective....

Difference people who read the same book, comes to different conclusion. Have different opinon and derive at different moral of the story.

As my father has always reminded me... when we read a book we once did some time ago, we will realise that we read the book differently. It is as though we are reading the book as a different person, drawing to different conclusions, and being able to read more in depth to its meaning and moral of the story. This change comes from the road we have travelled and the experience we have gained through hardship and happiness. This makes us to become different people from who we were. For better of for worse. We live life changing, and trying to make sense of this crazy and beautiful world.

For better or for worse, till death will i part.

Hawkings

Hawkings, on the Hallmark channel is truely an inspiring show. I love inspiring show. Its gives me a sense of drive, hope and determination, which lasts for a whole 20 minutes... but nevertheless, it does.

At the age of 21 years, Stephen Hawkings was diagnosed with ALS - amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or motor neurone disease, which renders his physical body useless within merely 2 years. How many of us can take this kinda sh*t when we were 21?

In the record of the next two extraordinary years culminating in one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of any age. Like the discoveries of Galileo, Darwin and Einstein, it changed the way we think about ourselves and our universe. More importantly, it is an emotional and tender story - one of love, ambition, pride and sacrifice. A record of human behavior at its most extreme limits as we witness the prospect of death nearly destroying and then transforming Stephen Hawking.

"Small as we are,
insignificant though we may be,
we are capable of profoundly big things."


to be successful, you need three things.

Brains,
Money,
and Balls.

Balls to be determined enough. Because they will try to stop you, and you must not let them.

One month has passed.

I found a temp job. Its a contract job for 11wk... till Dec.

FINALLY!
MONEY$$$$ hahaha
I was about to dig worms from the ground to norish myself.
I heard they are high on protein and low fats.

But i soon realise money isnt easy to earn.
Only ending my 2nd wk of work... have been put to shift work. Beginning at 1pm.. and ending at 10pm... or so i tot. For the first two days, i worked till 11pm, and manage to catch the last bus home. But from the third day, I started working till 2-3am.. and have to take a cab home (luckily i get to claim it). Waking up every morning at 10+... i have to leave home by 1130... i practically have NO LIFE! (on wkdays). Suddenly, from 7 days of absolute freedom... (without money tho.. so not so cool) it has shrunk to barely 2 days to do all my stuff...

i.e. continue looking for a job... sending resumes... Fixing my desktop (it just refuse to run any .exe... simply put it... i cannot run ANY programs! Anyone knows what might be wrong with it?) ........looking out for a phone (MY PHONE WAS STOLEN ON MY FIRST DAY OF WORK!!! DAMN IT! I wont up from a nap on the bus to find my phone GONE! my GD 88!!!!! sigh....)

Well... at least i get to save some money to endure me for my future employment.

And it seems.... (thank god)... that i will be having a very merry christmas after all..:)

its almost 3am.. and i am still at my desk in the office... how work changes ones life so fast.

Will update more when i have time....

HAHAHAH
THATS a good one! HAve... TIME?!!!!? >_< hahaha

Back to training..

The inevitable has happened... i have begin to go back for training.. and one of my greatest fear has become reality...

it is subconciously coming to my mind... instead of my usually enjoyable stoning.. my tots drift to training.. and i will find myself holding a invisible shinai.. adjusting my foot.. and slide instead of walk....>_<

it's presence is so contagious.. its gotto be love...

Utsukushiku, Tadashiku, Tsuyoku
Beautiful, Correct, Strong

that is what i want my kendo to be.
that is what my kendo will be.

goodbye tagboard.

Due to technical difficulties and refusal of my tag board to appear on the blog, I have decided to remove it altogether. But you guys who wanna drop a message can always do so by using the "comments" tab below every entry. dont be lazy.

.... ok.. kinda a rough week for me so far. Been busy with job searching and who knows what...

tots: Isnt it so sad how most people can only see you for how you look like on the outside, and not know you for who you really are? Unless you can show it, or put it out in words to sell yourself? Maybe thats what most girls want in a guy. Someone who can know them well enough to not have to say anything, but still know exactly what they are thinking. But i am sure girls wont have this problem, most of women have strong language skills. Whereas men, engineers, me, just cant express nuts! But one things for sure, i can find a word to express myself now, and that word is...

FRUSTRATION.

I was told...

I was told...

"I hear you complain about it all the time.
Why aren't you doing anything about it rather then just complain?"

And it is true.
Why DONT I do something about it.

There is enough of words and empty promises...
its time for action.

Got to get moving..

I really should start blogging more often.

Once again, i have proven to myself that my english SUCKS!
First it was the thesis. NOW, its the cover letters.
I have finally spotted a job i really wanna do... but when i try to write an impressive cover letter, it took THREE DAYS and FIVE Drafts!!!

Red Ink flying left right center across the page. >_<
"TotALLY MAKES NO SENSE!"
"SENTENSE STRUCTURE ALL WRONG!"
"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?"
"THIS ISNT A COVER LETTER! ITS A VOLMIT OF WORDS!"

...are the comments i recieved...

I just cant seem to express myself in words. I open my mouth.. and........ blank.... all my thoughts and little wheels in the head turning, but ..... blank.. i just cannot express what is in my mind into words.

My moral hit ROCK BOTTOM.
I really need to brush up my english. I need professional help :(

I also have to confess i have been doing nothing... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING these days... ROTTING my life away..
but NO MORE!
Starting Today! (Tomorrow, Sat), I will gather myself, and get my fat arse moving!

RAWR!!!!

Sore throat lion cannot roar

Sore throat is bad for health... it usually starts with a sore throat.. then running nose followed by phelgm... and ultimately, COUGH!

Elk! feels horrible...
the sore throat started since last tuesday with overdoze of pork-floss in egg-rolls from thailand... finished half the box in one sitting... sore throat follows the very next day.

It was actually getting better till the sat's gathering at my place where my friends bought TONS of tit-bits.. and it REALLY doesnt help to have a tournament the very next day. My throat was so dry and painful, its like a million daggers cutting and stabbing in there whenever i swollow or speak...@_@

Till this day I am still suffering the aftermath.... the cough! the worse actually. but luckily its not too frequent.. but i definately have the sick sick feeling.. i hate being sick...

k la. thats all for now.. just decided to blog since i havent been blogging for some time. take care..

One month of RT

Finally, after one month of RT, i finally got to take and passed my IPPT! Yay!
No more waking up at unearthly 6am-ish hours on sunday mornings!! YEs! More late sat night movies and suppers! Whoohoo!

THE end of the world...

At least thats what i thought it was... when i heard the thunderous ROAR coming from downstairs at 5 pass midnight....

The outer brick wall surrounding my house garden COLLAPSED!!!
10-15 meters of it!!
looks like terrorist attack like that... at least thats wat it sounds like when it collapsed.... i thunderous ROAR!



I dont think its a terrorist attack... at least no one has claimed responsibility of the blast..........yet.....

Nah!


The soil couldnt take the weight... apperently.. the previous owner didnt build it with foundation... so i guess after so many years of sun and rain.. the soild finally gave way......

The wall fell towards the outside and luckily, reached the other side of the canal.. forming a bridge in some sense... but i dont know how much longer it can sustain its structural integrity. I hope it doesnt crumble and falls into the canal... or else i believe ministry of environment would have something to say about it.
