Merry (not) Christmas

This is a christmas entry, and true enough, its not a realli merry christmas after all. There's so many things that i haven realli done or account for, yet the year is alreadi drawing to an end.

Never mind the new yr resolutions, never mind the things, but this year, although things are in the direction that i didnt want to, i have to accept it. I always tell myself, things are clouded or seem to be disastrous, because there's a reason behind them all. In short, everything happens for a reason.

Toking bout christmas, we tok about presents. In life, sometimes u always have desires and wants, but somethings come with a responsibility. The question is again not whether u can get what u want, but whether u can handle the responsibility. Trying to see things from a alternative perspective often shed light onto some grey areas.

To me, when u wan something, u have to be able to take care of it or be responsible for it. And henceforth, the responsibility thingy, im kinda misty in that sense. Can i realli handle it? I do doubt so sometimes, therefore there's this lack of confidence.

I wanna confess that i kinda tried to lied to myself abit sometime back. Yet this confession is best left untold, i dun wan things to spin further beyond control. Im left reeling back from the aftermath and the amplitude of events. Irony is indeed a trueism of life.

Alrite, was having dinner with nich, eugene and jiaying at bugis just now. Chatted bout studies and the coming semester, complained about SIM and RMIT's admin and system. Yes, i whined about the guy's part-time switch again. Sigh, everything about next semester is alone.

Eat lunch alone, go lecture alone, do project alone (almost), go out alone after skool, sit in lecture alone (mostly) etc. I most prob will develop autism. But well, there's no feast that goes on forever, we do have to live alone sometimes, so yeah, its that solo time again. Just suck it up and get it on, i should.

*Oh yeah, before i go, below is the group picture taken of the medic outing that i was toking bout a few entries back. Since blogger cannot tag, i went to tag the ppl myself. hahaha*

Music like i said, is my life and i realli cannot imagine life without music. My earphones recently went renegade on me, so i gonna get a new pair before i can listen to my music on the move. So 3 days of going out without music, and i get to listen to noise. Bus sounds, bangla chats, cheena rantings... kinda drives me crazy.

Anyways im glad i joined singing club in school, i effectively joined a bunch of people who are passionate about music and singing just like me. There are alot of people who can sing well out there, its just that they dun sing and hymn on the move. Music is one of the main criteria in my preference of gals, im also generally attracted to people with musical talents.

Why suddenly write about music? simple, because wendy (from my club) msned us and told us to go play an online game, a game where u can perform and sing and people in the game rate your performance. Its funny realli, the off keys and other funny stuffs... hahahasss, but all in all, its realli entertaining. I heard them say, there's this guy tat sounds super like JJ once.

Fate. Something that we dont have control over, i know, because i tried, and she doenst realli seem to smile down upon me. Time. Something tat is rapidly running out with every passing second, and each second passed, instantly became the past. Money. Resource that keeps life going and makes time meaningful, without it, u simply cannot survive. Life. An existence that compels you to juggle worldly responsibilities and other small stuffs within a short lifespan of 60 to 80 years.

And so i concur, we must learn to accept Fate, balance Time, cumalate Money and enjoy Life. Easier said then done. Accepting fate means adopting a passive approach and not fighting for what you want. Balancing time means dealing with the dilemma of time sacrifice between 2 events. Accumalating money and enjoying life are 2 concepts directly reverse of each other, to enjoy life, u have to spend money. There's no way around it, even if u consider eating ice cream as a form of enjoyment, u have to buy tat ice cream. Please do not tell me things like looking at the sunset is enjoying life, u still need money to take transport there. =)

Rotting at home is a perfect lifestyle for a useless person like me. yeah. Im useless to some extend, and just let me stay like tat for one more semester. A student should rot, and im currently fulfilling my duties. Seeing just how hectic and routine life is my frends that have started working, fills me with gratitude that im still a useless student who's onli concerns is getting a degree and .... okay, nvm the last part. so yeah.

Final piece before i go, go listen to Justin Lo's canto song entitled Yi Ju, meaning One Sentence in english. Veri groovy melody and extremely strong RnB flava~~~ oh yeah~~~ its ta flava babeh~~

Re-enrolment todae was a mess, the admin at SIM simply sucked. And yes, i dislike my course coordinator, she's veri inflexible and i secretly think she have a problem. Aite, shall not complain too much, im supposed to learn how to see things on the brighter side. But still, why did they tell me i can overload 5 modules in my last semester, onli to give me nonsense in the end? What need to apply for simi permission from wat stupid program coordinator and stuffs? Fuck man.

And so todae met the army guys for dinner and booze in the evening. Dinner was at Hip Diner, and the booze at Breks or something like tat. Im not especially fond of alcohol, but its okay with me. heh. Anyways its nice catching up with peter,sean, siong tai and chow wee, i do foresee us doing this all the way till we're 40 plus and married with kids. It kinda makes me glad to see all of them doing fine and getting on with their individual direction in life. =)

On to another issue. Its the bits and pieces that gets to you. They dun realli hurt much individually, but when they come in droves, it starts to hurt. Starts as a trickle initially, and then slowly a river flows forth. And then it precipitates...

Something's wrong with my stomach these days man, its always full of shit. Maybe its the stuffs i ate? There's always this full of shit feel to it man, infact, maybe im just so full of shit literally and metaphorically. yeah, maybe.

Life is like spitting into the air vertically upwards into the air, what goes up, in the end comes down in your face. So when your face gets hit with your own spit, u just have to wipe it off and lament for awhile. And then some chose to continue spitting, while others give up on spitting entirely. Yeah, im randomly rambling on some silly things. argh/

Recruit Foong

Been reading vanness's blog recently, and its kinda interesting reading how he, an ABC adapted to life in the taiwanese entertainment industry. End of the day, celebrities are still humans after all, they have their pains and struggles in life, so much for beautiful faces and adonis bodies.

Its funny, when u always had lots of ideas and stuffs to blog about, but when you're trying to recap what is those stuffs when u've loaded into the blank screen in blogger, you always forget. yeah, tat's what is happening to me. sigh.

Anyways, went to jurong point new extension todae to take a look at the changes. The expansion retained the architectural culture and feel jurong point itself, with pointed barricades and suspension bridges etc. More shops = more shopping choices (yes, i admit i like shopping. and yes, im 100% man), and what came as a surprise is Old Town Coffee had a branch in the new extension. No need to go till ECP to taste the legendary Old Town White Coffee.

Tml morn gotta wake up in around 6am to join "Jeremy's Tekong Farewell Escort Party". The party consists of me, fei zai and ah wei. Finally the old bastard is going to serve the nation alreadi, he's like 23 and i tink its high time he went in. He's the last guy in the gang to 'go touch tree'. Go for it mee kia, go touch some trees dude. =)

Beside him, thomas and yang zi also going in, but different timing. From here, i remembered the day before i went into army. Everything was so vivid and seems like it just happened yesterday man. I remembered taking a cab with my mum to pasir ris mrt, taking a separate chartered bus to tekong jetty. Joining up with mum at tekong jetty and waiting for the ferry that will take me to an island that i will be stuck on for 2 weeks.

On the ferry, some mums cried and most of the guys look realli gloomy. My side of the story is entirely different, i told my mum dun worry, and im just gonna serve the nation for 2 yrs. Its something every guy should and must go through, so no point getting upset over it. Rather face reality and get on with it, what started will definitely end. And so 2 yrs went past and i ORDed, going on the study in SIM.

My endeavours in Tekong is fun and interesting, making some interesting frends in the process. You get glimpses of politics within the company, and i simply cant be bothered about those silly stuffs. What's the point of putting up a show just so to get into the officer course? I believe in leaving things to fate, maybe im abit unconcerned, but the fact is there are greater things for me to worry then some stupid rank system.

Ah well, its time to sleep, i dun wanna look like a zombie tml morning. Shall TRY to take pictures tml at tekong and post it up here IF i have the chance ( and provided they allow us to bring in cameras). Nitez guys and gals. till another time.

Answers

Alrite peter, here i am answering ur question.

Question : How would i define a 'good' person.

Answer: A 'good' person to me, need not be prim and proper in various aspects as required by society, i believe what constitutes a person is infact his or her inner self. Inner self meaning the deeper entity that u answer to everyday, or in short, ur conscience.

Your conscience dictates decisions u make with regards to people to people relationships. A basic set of ethics and moral values govern our daily regime (sounds like OB sia... hahah) , and what is right and what is wrong. Alrite, abit like beating round the bush, lets save the formalities and go str8 to the point.

To me, a people are generic in nature, meaning i dun judge a person by his education level or any other societal basis. I once said before, i have frends that are labelled 'bad' company because they nvr study or are involved in gangland activities, yet those are the frends that are the most forthright with issues. Any displeasure they sound out, and once settled its settled.

On the contrary, educated folks tend to keep things to themselves, any displeasure they 'store' and release in 'packages behind your back'. Yes i am educated to a certain extend myself, and yes i do talk bad about people with mutual frends. But i do not backstab people and try to contort things to a form so as to make people think less of them.

So, back to the topic, to me a 'good' person is somebody that do not betray his or her frends, live life with a not-so-tainted conscience (its kinda impossible to live with a pure conscience these days, you most prob did something bad before), straight forward without being tactless and finally fulfill the moral values required like filial piety, loyalty and faithfullness etc.

The above values are not exclusive, there are other contributing factors as well that i cant seem to think of at the moment. So yeah.

And whether im a good person anot is not up to me to judge, but up to people around me. If u ask me from a 3rd person's view, i tink im not a good person, simply because i know all my dark secrets and evil thoughts. But i do agree that my conscience although not perfect, isnt that dark after all. I do complain here and there about people, but i also tell the person i complain in the face about what i dun like about him. Like ah wei, sometimes i tell him in a tactful way about what i tink is wrong. Its onli fair that u let tat person know what is wrong, rather then expecting him to find out for himself. If he knows what's wrong, he wouldnt be wrong in the first place.

There are an area that im veri proud of about myself, and people that realli knows me definitely knows what is it, so i dun wanna declare to people, arbo people will say i self praise. hahahss. Okays, peter, hope it answers ur questions, i wasnt in the best of mood these days, so i overlooked the promise. hahass, told you im not a 'good' person alreadi. I guess that might be why singlehood has chosen me for so long and refuse to let me go. =)

Sometimes u dig a hole so deep that u find it hard to climb out after sometime. So since there's no way back, might as well dig deeper.

Was catching up with zhengyi ytd over nai-cha (milk tea) at a HK cafe. As usual nice tea, expensive charges. $3.50 for a cuppa, sigh. Anyways, toking to zhengyi made me realized an aspect of him i didnt realli notice after all these years as frends. When we were recapping what happened in our lives these days, we toked about those sec skool hatreds, you know, people like dominic etc.

And i asked him why he didnt realli disliked anybody back then till now. He told me a sentence which i tink was veri matured and true. "Why look at somebody's bad points when u can simply look at the good points and feel better? Everybody has bad points, no one is perfect, if u realli cant get along with somebody, just be acquaintence lor, dun need to hate him one lah."

I was taken aback by his words, because they spoke lots of truth in them. Prejudices arises from your own perspective, adjust your perspective, people might not seem so bad after all. Dominic is noisy and fucked up, but his good point is if he dun like you, he wont hide stuffs and backstab you behind your back. Zhengyi told me all these, and i start to see this other side of him.

You know, close frends are close frends for a reason, it isnt simply fate that allow people to be close frends, takes alot of chemistry and understanding to be close frends. Just a passing thought, nothing in particular.

All the above have no relations to whatever happened in my screwed up life these few months. Dun tink too much, there's no more joke to be shared, no more stuffs to ridicule.

Before signing off, i wanna extend my condolences to the family of the killed hostage. Its kinda unexpected that somebody would pass on under such extreme circumstances. Terrorism is a contagion that is constantly spreading, and terrorists onli know how to terrorize innocent victims. They dare not bring the fight to the main targets, so they strike at the weak and defenseless people. In fact, we're too nice to captured terrorists, they should not be offered 'human rights' because they aint human at all. I dun care for what fuck they are fighting for, but to implicate innocent people just shows what kind of dogs they are.

End Roll

Been slacking, so nvr blog much, anyways not much to blog about mah. so ya.

When a house is dirty no matter how u try to clean it, that means there are rats around. Despicable rats that go around spreading dirt. No, my house and my room is clean and there are no rats. Go figure.

I finally got the answer i have pondered for so long, and so shall be working on what i should be working on. Training is back on schedule, and lets hope this time the effort will bring more results. I know im a joke, and i always will be laughed upon. But laughing upon someone's efforts? There is no link in part 1 and part 2 of this paragraph. Sorry, thoughts abit messed up todae.

Next semester is the last semester, i do foresee it being another routine semester. There's some problems that surfaced, like who to do projects with since people are converting to part-time, but i guess things will sort themselves out in the end. I dun hate anybody now anymore, not even Ben, not even Dominic, yes, u heard it, not even Dominic. I dun dislike chocolate people anymore, i simply dun wan to hate or dislike whoever, even rats. Its too tiring. Im exhausted.

Master plan for the future: get degree, get job, save capital, start business, X, establish Lam Enterprises, settle down, expand asset range, hand over, retire to Switzerland with wife. Simple and brief, but far-fetched and hard to attain. I shall try my best to follow the above draft map, there's bound to be failures along the way, just need to pick myself up and try again until im successful. Tenacity.

Im waiting for that day, so meantime i just do my part, one day things will clear up. Another issue is my best buddy. I tink i should forget all the past unhappiness and let things fade off ba, im fucked up too, dun forget. Yes, i am fucked up and i do and say the wrong things to people. No i dun intend to mince my words, yes i am fuck fuck fucked up. Admitting u're fucked up is the first step to analyse urself. =)

Okays, nough bout me, todae ah wei texted me in the morning, telling me our dear god sister is pregnant. I was like "wtf?", she's like 19 this year and she's pregnant. Never expected her to be pregnant cause though she's noisy, she's not the mother type. And yes, she's a single mum, the guy ran off. Its bastards like these that makes people's blood boil. U have the guts to do something, u have the guts to take responsibility.

Anyways she's still working with a huge stomach, and i respect that alot. Its not easy being a single mum, much less when she have to support herself and her kid. Yes she have parents, but they also can't help much, its her kid after all. I just told ah wei i will go visit her next week cause this week im working at SITEX. Thinking what she's going thru, reminds me of another gal that i kw who i respect alot. I mentioned her in a previous post, and i realli admire people who have the strength to stand up against all odds.

I guess ah wei and me will apply to be the kid's godfather ba, cfm is a cute fellow cause my god-sis also damn cute looking one. There are greater things then my silly little world, perhaps seeing things in a larger aspect will benefit me more. Lets just discard all the useless memories and misplaced trusts.

Final note: Long entry i know, but lets shed some degree of grey on my blog for now. Sometimes blogging doenst realli serves a purpose, except maybe to pacify the soul of the blogger.

Mandate of Jason

Its intimidating realli, the process of cutting open urself up and peering into the crevasses known as the soul and the heart. This is the process of self-evaluation. And in this process, i found stupidity, and i cleansed it all.

The nonsense barrage tactic worked extremely well on me, and indeed i did what everybody expected. Ignore and get on with life. I took some time i admit, but im somebody who needs time to get things cleared. All in all, i did not do any nonsense anymore, so that everything will fall into place easily, and i can clear all the shit out once and for all. Yup, area cleaning done as per ordered by frends. =)

I thank those who stood by me and tried ways and means to help me clean myself up, i know you people meant well, so i dun blame you all for demoralizing me. heh. And yup, fate indeed does lies somewhere else like my grandpa says, so the tut tut train is once again heading to another station~~ tut tut tut tutttttt~~~~~

Alrite, back to studies, i need to study more MR. MR stand for Marketing Research, and there's like 25 pages of COMPRESSED notes to memorize and understand. Fuck. Last paper, gotta buck up ba. Now that the brain is empty of stupidity, got more storage to put useful information in.

Called jalene to find job, and although i told her i wanna work those 2 mths temp job at office or bank, she put me go starhub roadshow again. wah lan eh.... but times are hard lah, even DBS is retrenching 900 staffs, so i guess lan lan lor. Well, tinking on the brightside, got free time to watch drama and train mah. So i accepted lor.

Finally, i needa do some finance management man. The cashflow is running dry, and to think i still plan to buy a sofa bed, loft bed frame and a 42inch LCD tv. Dream on man, i tell myself. Alrite, the main purpose of this entry has been reached ( declaration, in case people dun kw), so i shall go watch my XL18P ( Xiang Long 18 Palm, which is infact Legend of the Condor Heroes) now. Gone~~ puff! (I always tot 'puff' was gay, but what the heck. lol)

前奏才刚刚响起

唱着他们的订情曲
对不起提了你的伤心过去

一堆男人下了班不回去
十几个人关在ktv
唱着青春随风远去的回忆
说这年头还有什么让我们动心

男人歌唱给谁来听

我和你吻别在无人的街
张学友唱出我的情结

[Lyrics from www.yahoo.com.cn]


Mee kia sent me the above song just now, and its a veri nice song. Kinda like a medley of various song, and it realli brings out how men feel with regards to love. We dun dare to say alot of things, like how much we care for family, for our women and our close ones. But its all shown in our actions. Oh, there's a canto version of the song by Ce Tian. Personally i feel canto one nicer, but both are extremely meaningful. =)

Okays, another issue. Im veri bothered that my frends are enbroiled into my nonsenses, why should they suffer and have to make adjustments just to accommodate our nonsense? So yes, its time to end the stupidity.

I have lots and lots to say, but sua ba, abit pointless saying anything since i alreadi chose to remain silent. No amount of explaining can clear the air anyways, its too complex and no matter whatever i do its always wrong.

I should be studying for my SM now, but i tink forget it ba, im gonna watch Condor Heroes 2008. I've been studying for exams in the day, and watching shows at nite, and the good news is, i tink i failed my Leadership Management exams. yeah. =)

Singing club was nice, though i screwed my first attempt singing on stage. Its realli unnerving when i stood on the stage, and as expected, i mixed up the lyrics and the performance was a mess. I sang "Forever Love", and i surprised myself with how bad i sound, my voice was trembly and the vocal projection was fucked.

Sigh, i tink need more practice, i panicked when i got the lyrics wrong, and the reason why i got the lyrics wrong is because i nvr prepare properly. Need to study LM mah, where got time to remember lyrics?

And before i go, replying to Peter, its hard to gauge what is the definition of a 'good' person, because different people values different traits and characteristics. I realised that, and there is no one person that the whole world thinks is 'good'. Its never possible to satisfy the whole world and everyone, its either a person likes u for who u are, or hates you for who u are.

The Unsung Angel

Been studying abit these days. Going to skool, studying in library. I was down todae, because of a event. Lets just keep it under wraps shall we, i realli hope im wrong, and things are not as i thought.

Im not one to be bothered much with the intricacies of examinations. Read up, practice, go in, come out, wait for results. The usual and all-so-familiar steps i have taken from young till now. Wait, the read up and practice part, maybe just in Uni ba, in poly i simply walk in.

Plagued with despair and quiet unsettlement, life isnt that great to me these weeks. Its hard trying to eek out a sensible life, much less amidst all these daily mechanics. Financially im tight, cant work much due to exams, therefore im currently in the 'trough'.

I asked somebody online whether im a good person, simply because im starting to doubt myself. In fact, im starting to doubt the purpose in life itself. Isn't life itself just a fleeting image? And on a more solemn note, people will leave you, no matter you like it or not. Your loved ones and frends, people around you traverse a perpetual cycle of fate, where when the final entanglement between your threads of fate ends, they leave. I know its kinda deep, but give it some thought, abeit it sounds abit dark.

When im young, around 6 yrs old, i used to think my grandfather will be there for me all the while. He was the one who dotes on me the most, and even though im veri young, i can feel it. He always brought me to the bird park and the zoo, which explains why i feel like going to those places again just to try to relive those moments. I thought things would be fine and dandy, and i will be by his side all the way.

Slowly as i grew up, i find that i speak less to him. As i go about pursuing my studies and daily life, the time spent with him reduced a great deal. And he still gives me money to buy stuffs whenever he came to see me ( my grandpa is rich and drives a mercedes benz), though i dun realli tok much with him. As the years progresses, my grandpa is diagnosed with alzhemier's.

He cant drive to come visit me anymore, and i naturally at that time, the option to go visit him did not occur to me. The only visits were on sundays when my dad is free. I see my grandpa like twice or once a month. And everytime i see him, he seems more and more changed. He starts to forget people and things. Initially he will still smile when he sees us, but as the days progressed, he eventually just sat there and stared into the blank space.

I was still immature and young then, so i dun realli understand the full extent of things. Bit by bit, he lost his usual mental abilities, and deep within, im actually losing bit by bit of my grandfather without knowing it. No tears flowed through this period, as i said i didnt realli understand the extend of things. And then, one night, my mum rushed into my room and told me the grim news: my grandpa had left us.

My dad rushed us to my grandfather's house, and there, i saw the face of person that loves me the most, pale and devoid of life. I went over and held his ice-cold hand, silently whispering beside his ear, telling him to wake up. I told him this in khek(the hakka language), "grandpa, im ah xiang, wake up, im here alreadi.", which obviously doenst help at all. I didnt shed any tears at all, infact i was quite shaken deep inside, but curiously no tears flowed.

The ice-cold hand i held during those moments, made me think of the contrast between the warm and strong hands i held with my little hands when i was young, and how cold it was at that moment. And then i just sat in the living room till morning, not uttering a single word at all, and no, im not tired, i just dun kw what to say. And yes, still no tears.

And then came the funeral. It went pass quite fast i remember, and i was surprisingly vibrant and can still smile at people. I went thru all the rites, and then came the day when we took to bus to the crematorium. Once i got on the bus, i started to feel something leaking out of my heart in trickles. And through the entire bus ride, i kept realli quiet, even when other kids tok to me, i didnt answer, as the feeling got stronger.

My grandfather eventually was pushed into the fire, and everybody around me started crying loudly. Still i kept mum. And then when i got up the bus taking us back, everything spilled out. My tears flowed uncontrollably and i just kept crying till i finally fell asleep. I have never cried so much in all my years alive, and i dun care if a man is not supposed to cry, i just unloaded everything there and then.

My grandfather taught me one final lesson even after he left me, that is nothing in this world is absolute, so always cherish people you have around you now. People can never be with people forever, they come and go like the wind. So either you cherish whatever time you have with them now, or you simply ignore everybody and lock yourself away.

Okays, its getting abit long lah this entry, so i shall be ending here. I feel much better now, i guess bloggin has its benefits after all. Oh ya, i found a place to keep people i love forever, and that place is called 'Heart'. My grandfather will serve to guide me on how to love and cherish my loved ones, never to lose sight of them no matter how busy i am when i go out to work. =)

Okie dokie, there's some pictures of the outing i was toking about with the poly dudes. They're below! =)















From left: Stuart, KC, Me, Kai Cheong, Wong.

















Everybody is the same, except this time round, Wong is taking the pic, and Botak took over his place. hahahss =)


You know, im starting to feel a little compelled. Things kinda stack inside me, and i can't freely type out whatever i feel. Maybe one day i will go completely crazy and type whatever fuck i like with no limitations. Fret not, im not toking about politics and all those things that possibly will put me behind bars. So for now, im still sane, and shall keep everything locked down. =)

Okays, i've been studying abit these 2 days, and i have like 1 week left to my first paper. I dun kw man, im abit emotionless about this exam, i dun kw why, just no feel for it. Sigh, ah well, leave it all up to fate ba, i study abit, then see how things go.

Leave it to fate. Sometimes it hard not to believe there is a greater power that is working behind the curtains. Every move we do is dictated in a way, and whatever barriers we meet, in fact paves the way for a future event. Therefore i realli believe in the sentence blessing in disguise, and bad things, are not bad after all.

Like i have always preached, things happen for a reason. And it is this belief that spurs me thru alot of tides in life. So technically, its like we're walking a predetermined path that we deem is of our own choosing. Its realli complex, but lets just leave it at that then, since its so complex. hahass =)

I always see things in a more mature light these days, i dun realli wanna get involved too much. No point lah, Hong Chen Lai Qu, Zhui Hou Ye Shi Yi Chang Kong. And no, up till now, i still dun tink the choice is wrong. I stick by my choice anytime anyday. 0.0"

I tink bright days are ahead, although im still kinda aimless now. I dun kw why bright lah, but i just feel its bright, get what i mean? Something good is going to happen, at least that's what i choose to believe. Hopefully i get some kinda windfall, cause i desperately need money to spruce up the shithole i call my room. sigh.

Oh, and on a final note, poetic justice. What comes around always goes around. Wait, i tink i toked bout this in the last entry didnt i? I tink i did, im too lazy to check lah, so will be signing off here. Jiayou for exams! (From me to myself, obviously. duh.)

And then the sky collapses...

Pardon me for the break in updating, im kinda busy these days. Busy as in im supposed to study, yet i went to do other stuffs. Haiz. 2 more weeks to first paper, and im still slacking around. What do i do this weeks? Watch shows, go catch up with frends, work etc...

Watching shows. I followed up on dramas that i haven finished, and true enough, i finished watching most of them this morning, as in watched from ytd nite till this morning. I plan to start on a few new dramas todae, but i tink better dun ba, i desperately need to study. Infact, tinking back, im not a drama fan at all before, i onli started to watch shows after i realised something and feel that i should try to do something about something. So yeah, im quite new to the drama scene. Ah well, at least i got something good out of something rite? =)

Catching up with frends. I went to eat kuishimbo with the poly fellows 2 days ago. Wong, stuart, KC, botak, kaicheong and kok were present. Despite the years, the fellows still retained some of the vaguely familiar feel.

Wong is still quiet yet egoistic in a funny manner; KC still is the undisputed cock fellow; botak dun look tat slim anymore and he still toks too much for my liking; kaicheong is like a thai now, having worked at his dad's garage all the while. Lastly, kok is still the businessman, doing businesses and only aiming cheena gals to be girlfrend. He's known as the cheena killer in the past. hahass.

Seeing them, i've lost my cheerfulness during the poly days. I was the crap king of king in the group, and im the most passionate among them when it comes to crapping. Yet this time around, im quite quiet and i dun realli crap much. Something in me changed, and im glad that my frens are still the same. They still do crap stuffs, like Wong, he dipped sushi and snow crabs in chocolate sauce and ate them. Fucking gross can? hahass!

And like predestined, everybody lead different lives, and for their paths to cross, it takes tons of fate. Each and every frend, u can learn something from them, no matter good or bad, ugly or pretty, tall or short, smart or dumb. People learn things from each other, and you are who you are todae, because of how your frends and family influenced you.

Alrite, besides the exams issue, im growing fatter. I've been having tons of good food recently, buffets, pizzas etc. Therefore, i need to wake up the idea and exercise diet control. Yes, i must not eat crap food for extended periods of time, and please stop me from eating junk if you guys can alrite? =)

On a final note, i tink people are mostly in a chronic denial state of mind. Never mind if you dun understand what i mean, but for those that knows, give it some thought. I can give you examples of this process in practice. Why keep locking yourself in cyclic denial?

Profound simplicity indeed, i am.

IRC!

I just came back from Genting yesterday nite, was a good trip, though i lost some money on 'entertainment', or to be more specific, the roulette table. hahass

I bought 3 extremely nice shirts back at around SGD$28 per shirt, which is like dirt cheap lor. One thing though, is the service at the restaurants in Genting is exceedingly poor. Its so sad eating there, u pay 10% service charge, and u get crap service. Thankfully, on the last day, we went to eat at a Hong Kong style cafe, and the service there was prompt and good. Like what my frends and i observed, its staff were chinese.

Anyways, it was fun, because we took 600 MB worth of pictures. hahahass. Will post some pics here when im free-er. Im jam packed lah, friday sunday working, and in between i needa go out on thursday and saturday to catch up with my differing group of frends respectively. Not much time to study alreadi. sigh.

Aite, gonna go off le, im IRCing my uni frends while im typing this entry, so im kinda multi-tasking here. Busy busy busy, its so hard trying to live a more fulfilling life and becoming a better man aint it? hohoho.

Jason, signing off. =)

Limit Break

How much can a man take? I can take alot, but i tink im at my limit. The extend of things is getting to me, and so lets just hit the finale button shall we? Done.

Went to sentosa todae with the OG, was fun and im kinda injured all over. Im sunburned easily, and therefore im like a lobster now. Happy and satisfied todae, the only thing i dun understand is why do banglas like to congregate at sentosa with long pants and shirts?

The onli thing they do is sit around and girl-watch. Waste of time rite? And they like to cut Q, maybe its in their culture? I pushed off one of them when he tried to cut my Q when we were boarding the tram to vivo. He backed off naturally. =)

Was supposed to join meekia and the dogs for steamboat when i reach home, but too shag lah, so didnt realli bothered going le. End up went to lim teh juz now at the familiar kopitiam below my house. We crapped alot and they're all looking to their first trip to Genting. heh.

Neglected training for sometime, now that all projects are finished, i have no more excuse to postpone the shit. hahass. Training is fun, and the most important aspect is the cardio. Cardio coupled with low-carb yields immediate results, therefore must run more, eat sensibly.

Alot of things, time will tell. Applies to all aspects of my life currently. Training, studies, career etc. And time, i emphasize again, changes alot of things. Nothing escapes change, for better or worse, noone knows. What i know is what abilities i have to adapt to changes, and my critical weakness. The critical weakness i have, is a weakness that will follow me all my life no matter how i tried to remedy it. Its the void.

"Break the chains that hold, and therefore break the bonds that bind."

Its a emo night....

Time and fate. you simply cant stop these 2 things can u? I dun kw where i will be, but i kw where you will be. where you will always be. =)

And so another chapter of my life closes. Tml will be printing MR project, which heralds the end of projects and the start of mugging. Yes, im supposed to be mugging, but im going to genting on sunday for 3 days. hahahass. The government sponsor $275 to go gamble leh, so why not?

My room needs a makeover, as i have always repeated over the past entries. I calculated the total budget the other day when i went to ikea. I need around $2K to get a loft bed, a super comfy sofa bed and a LCD TV. The LCD tv shall be connected to my computer, and then i can divert the dramas and movies i've downloaded to the tv. Thereafter, i can laze around on my sofa and watch dramas in style! Best yet, i should have enough additional cash to get a coffee table and one more carpet (i have on now underneath my bed.). Perfecto!

And so my room will become a condusive environment for drama watching / mahjong playing / sleepovers / project rushing etc.... Thinking bout it makes me happy. lols. But coming back to reality, its a huge project and i need the cash. So i have to find a way to get the cash, since the I-Hub job is fully taken. sigh.

Oh, i cut a super short hair todae. Suddenly feel like cutting short hair, and so i went with mee kia to jh house there to cut. Sibei cooling sia, long time nvr have short hair alreadi. Though its not veri nice, what matters most is i like it. i look like dumb and dumber, but its fine lah, im never those idol look-alike anyways. lets stick to basics shall we? =)

It takes alot to impress me, as i've recently found out. Its definitely more then the surface stuff, its what is within and the substance that constitutes the character. Its useless trying too hard, i simply see thru it all. Only when i find things out myself, shall i be impressed. U keep volunteering information on how good u are, it onli shows how lousy u are.

As people grow up, their mentalities start to change. Some people are still stuck behind, and though u tried hard to pull them along, they simply chose to get stuck. A frendship stuck is hard to remedy, unless the one stuck chose to grow up and catch up.

okay, enough. its time to sleep, i need to reach school by 11am tml. sigh. fuck school. nitez!

Got this picture from my bro's ex-gf blog.
Find it interesting, so paste here show u people.
Nothing much to blog todae, life is too monotonous....too monotonous....

Tickling Tick Tock

Im updating my blog in skool this time, not because my net is cut, nono, its because im waiting for the singing club to start. Yes, i went ahead and joined singing club. hahahs, give it a try mah, no harm anyways. I even joined judo club lor. heh

There are some things in life u will never understand. Maybe its never meant to be understood at all in the first place. I asked myself why, but i can never give a definite answer. If i dun even understand my choice, how can people understand? Like the song goes " Im not crazy, im just a little unwell."

Back to normal stuffs, my training resumed with a bang. Yesterday went to gym around late noon, then went to play basketball with the dogs. And by dogs, i dun mean real canines, i meant my trusty 'pig and dog' frends. hahahas.. full of crap and noisy fellows. Bball was nice, realli nice. Its been sometime since i played, and the feeling was great. Our passion was relit by the taiwanese show HOTSHOT, which was surprising, considering hao-siao-ness of the show. Go watch xiao zhu in action, damn funny fellow. hahass

Bought a pair of nerd specs to see the whiteboard better for International Finance class. Mok writes realli badly and the whole lecture strains to make out wtf he is writing on the board. He's a nice guy lah, but its realli hard to see the god damn board.

And i just had dinner a frend. He's as egoistic as ever, though he meant well for me. I disagree with his thoughts, and he's ego is realli hard to swallow sometimes. But i tink at the core, he's not a bad fellow lah, just that he's more extreme mentally. Shujian was with me as well, and i can feel his discomfort as well. hahass. Well, the basis is not considering his ego, he's still a nice frend.

Venture wise, the web skeleton is gonna come out in a few days time. Gonna liase with the various suppliers and if everything goes well, the thing will roll out 2 weeks later. Im comtemplating postponing the launch, cause exams is round the corner and i need ALOT of time to study for finance.

Before i go, as a morbid thought, what do they do with people's blog when they die? Sometimes when u see the news where young people die, they keep blogs mah, so will blogger delete the blog, or will some nice fren keep updating the blog for the dead person? hmms... just a thought hor, im NOT contemplating suicide, so dun read too much into this. =)

Cyclone and Tornadoes

Took a long hiatus from blogging and basically everyday life. Some stuffs happened, and im too lazy to describe in detail. But all in all, an interesting perspective to life.

Okies, so i bought a wonderful pair of Pedro loafers. They're khaki and im loving every bit about them. Casual and comfy, yet still counts as a formal pair of shoes, best thing yet, dun have to wear socks. Jittao comfy until dun kw father mother. hahahass =)

Next up im gonna get some new clothes, though im kinda strap for cash. Wanna go bangkok, but the political scene there isnt so stable, so technically go bangkok tio bang nia. Then again, they wont possibly slaughter tourists lah, will they?

My main motive in bangkok is shopping, and maybe take pictures of the famous buddhist temples there. Buddhism always has this mysterious oriental feel to it, and its one of the most peaceful religion in my opinion. Anyways, my shopping list includes stuffs like tag heuer watch, LV wallet and various other apparels and accessories. heh.

Oh, and i have to say this, sometimes you get so dissappointed in a frend that u no longer wanna give advice and other significant help to that frend. I know a frend in need is a frend in deed, but when that frend's ego simply overtake all ur attempts to help, you know u have to give up and let that frend learn the hard way.

Its okay to have dreams, but when ur dreams are propelled by your ego and your mentality that the whole world owes u something, its not good. And its okay to be confident, but its never okay to think that you are the best and smartest person in the world. Modesty is a veri important aspect to cultivate, i learnt it long ago and im still struggling to learn it till this day. Remember this, modesty prepares you for failure and if u can't afford to fail, dun start in the first place.

Relating this to myself, i am never afraid of failure. Failure as in non-fatal failure lah, i still am afraid of death, im just a man after all. But in other stuffs like relationships and business and studies and other whatnots, i simply feel no fear for failure. Fail can try again, just keep trying until you make it, things are predetermined yes, but the more times you try, the probability of success is higher. So yeah, just keep trying lor, persevere and you will get there eventually.

And yes, my venture is now under discussion already. I do hope my new venture with my frends will yield better returns then my previous attempt. I never tell people about what im going to do unless they're very close to me, because i dun believe in telling people what u are going to do when you havent even started. Some people feel doing business is prestigious and can show off etc, so they tell the whole world and even say some childish stuffs to people. To me, i rather remain low profile unless people ask me.

Finally, there's somethings i tink better dun anyhow anyhow write, later i tio kio again how? rite. =)

Romantic Perspective

How do i handle life? How do i cope? Sometimes i do ask myself all these questions. After all that i've been through, i conclude life to be directly related to perspective. How you interpret an event is veri important. And i never believe things to be absolute, never say never.

Failure. Most people view it as detrimental, but to me, failure is simply finding out one way not to succeed. I deeply believe in the logic that noone fails forever. Business wise that is. I have my dream, and i intend to make that dream a reality. My dream? Build my own business empire.

Why do i suddenly wanna tok about my perspective on life all of a sudden? Well, its seems i've seen and thought through alot of things, and i have this huge conclusion about everything. A frend was toking to me about his disappointment in his failure to woo his gal, he was too late, in the end she was attached when he decided he wanted to go for her.

He told me the gal felt something for him initially, but he hesitated and therefore lost the chance.
He told me he was veri sad and he cannot swallow the sight of seeing another guy behaving intimately with the gal he likes. He told me he like her alot, and can't bear to lose her. He told me he was gloomy and upset for a few months alreadi, he cant get over her. Guess what i told him?

I told him the one he was upset about wasnt the gal, its himself. His pride and ego simply cannot swallow the fact that he failed. He wanted to own the gal, he hates himself because he let her go. He hated the fact that he took her for granted and thought that he have lots of time and she will wait for him. So all in all, he wasnt upset because he loved the gal, he was more buay gam luan on losing her to another guy.

I pointed this fact out to him, and i gave him my take on relationships :

1) Noone stays forever, do not take the other party for granted.

2) Since noone stays forever, enjoy and cherish every present moment with her, u never know whether both of you will go the distance, so dun try to prophecize the future, just enjoy the present.

3) Breaking up is not negative, its just that you're not meant to be together and there's a better somebody else that can take care of her. Treasure the memories and the happy times spent together with her, keep them locked up in your heart. When u recall those times with her, both of u can confidently smile and know deep inside that being together was worth it.

4) Rejection isnt negative. Its just a preventive mechanism setting in to protect both of you. One party knows things aint gonna go anywhere, and therefore to avoid future complications and heartbreak and quarrels etc... , he/she chose to pass.

5) If she managed to find someone who's realli nice, dun feel jealous and bitter. If you feel for her, u want the best for her. What matters is she tinks he is the one that can take care of her, and if u like her as much as you say, u would want the best for her. Therefore be happy because she managed to find someone that she realli likes and realli cares for her.

6) Love is free-rein, meaning do not exert control over her. Love is a connection between 2 person, not a slave-master relationship. She have her freedom and she does not owe u anything. Reporting is done volunteerily, its not compulsory. She wanna go club or go out with guys, its alrite, because if she wanna fly, no cage can keep her in. Trust in her and give her the liberty that she deserves.

7) Things happen for a reason, therefore dun jump to conclusions. Give her time to explain herself, everything can be discussed nicely, no point screaming at her. She's a gal, and the basic right of being a gal is the right to be pampered and cared for. Give in for small things, but critical issues, sit down and tok things out. Use a nice tone.

8) Before blaming things on her or other people, reflect on yourself first. Most of the time, u perceived things towards the negative side because you are too self-centered. Her world don't revolve around you, so before pointing out her faults, try to understand yourself and your actions first. (This is the point i told my fren, he was too self-centred to see that infact what he felt was more disappointment then sadness.)

9) Dun dwell on 'maybe's and 'could be's. Dun imagine how good things could have turned out if she accepted you. Understand the fact that there is a divine reason that the-fellow-up-stairs didnt wanna put you both together. Also remember the fact that impossible is never relevant, what could not be now, could be in future. So maybe now is just not the time. But dun think too much, try to move on for the time being.

10) The only certainty in life is death and change. Time is the most powerful entity in existence, nothing can stop it, nothing can change it and nothing can control it. People change with time, noone stays stagnant, people must change in order to survive. Do not blame her if she have a change of heart, she cant help it, you cant help it too. So why not suck it up and move on with a smile. If its meant to be, it will be. An angel that realli belongs to you will fly back to you no matter how far she have flew.

I view relationships as a pool of clear water. I wanna keep it clean and transparent. You can say im naive or childish, but to me, romance should be crystal clear and upheld by trust and respect.

And lastly for some things, i choose to keep quiet and solemn. It's the only thing i can do.

Work work work...

Not updating much these days. Currently working at COMEX and trying to finish up my project parts, so i dun have much time. Reach home,do project, sleep, wake up, go work. Boring cycle.

Lots of people at COMEX, and yes, loads of customers. Tiring, but its fun, the system is still the same, and the people there are fun, though i stick with Meekia and Rusty most of the time. Im gona sleep soon, tml needa go work at 10am. Fook one, im ALWAYS late for work. zzz

Oh ya, i found out that im regularly being stabbed in the back. But its okay, i can take it whichever way they want it. The 'they' refers to those people backstabbing me from all walks and sectors of life. Im just one fat guy trying to live his life the way he deems it, so what matters is i am satisfied with my life, why should i bother what u people say about me? =)

Lastly, i saw ah-song at the COMEX just now, turns out he worked at starhub before too. I tink im inspired again, so im gonna change again. lolx. But slowly ba, should be a gradual change.

Jason's : This is the last entry that im gonna put in a "Jason's" section. Next entry onwards, everything will be free rein.
