Things have been falling apart at the house. The TV failed to on around 2 weeks back. it was just bought 2 years ago, even the TV that I used ever since I know anything still functions, yet a classier and more styled one cannot make it anymore.

NVM, at least I still have my com.

And 2 days back, the com failed to switch on too, they must have some pact to go together, now that the pc is dead, there goes dota and the best cure for boredom.

One down

2 more to go for the year

and then another year

and its all over.


i love exams, not because i always ace them, but in fact, i do so badly for the written exam that it pulled down my HD from my tests to a credit. maybe my knowledge is meant to be kept in the brain and talked out, not written out.

anyway, i love them because there is no lessons, and no obligations to head to a place 30km away from my home, not mentioning the guilt of not going if the lecturer something important that might come out in the exam, btw, doing pure calculations, by dividing the module cost against each class hour, its 100+ freaking dollars per hour, no wonder every school wants students, any kind of students.

Its Mondays again, with a weekend well-spent. Had re-acquired hobby I gradually forgotten, spent most of my hours after midnight watching bleach, catching up with episodes which I sorely missed.

Weekend match was great having assisted 2 goals thou I didn’t score any, but its feeling satisfied with myself that’s the key not goal tallies. Nice interplays with a forgotten team-mate sure materialized the fact that we actually missed him. Hopefully he wun do a harry kewell and be injured till 2009.

Coupled with the TV premier of Taxi and bleach to keep the late nights occupied, the only regret was missing out on breakfast with scrambled egg, coffee and papers.

Sometimes slow is gd.

Its 10am in the morning, the boss is not around or had not been around since wed due to this BCP process where the upper mgt must not step into office to prove that the org can still function without their presence. So tell me wat is a PA to do when your boss is not around.

For the past 3 days, I finish all the papers, (in all I meant strait times, the previous night’s wan bao, xin min and my business times) by 10am. Thou I have as much time in the world, everything was noted by its only facevalue. Reading captions and summary more than suffice for me. Hopefully this is an evolution in my time mgt for grasping the revolving world with my pace and not being care-less about the things happening around.

Like they say, beauty is skin deep, facevalue will only be face-valued

Wat day is it again???

I cant hear you…..

WAT DAY???

FRIDAY….

I smell the weekend, can literally taste it already. Its like your char kway tiao (why char kway tiao? Becos char kway tiao at army market is the best, mouth savoring good and simply delicious) is on your chopstick, hanging in mid air, 2cm away from the taste buds.

And before you know it, you finished the whole plate, not full wanting for more, just like the weekend, you dunno how its spent, it just passed, practically flew across and cant wait for the next one to come.

Since night classes ended last Thursday, days or should I say nights have been peaceful and sweet. No rushing from work to school nor there is any hunger calls halfway through lessons. Best of all is no more under-lived lives where I’ll choose to sacrifice my sleep in replace for my daily necessities like checking mail, surfing and the usual de-stressing.

Still cant believe why I put myself through this, making myself suffer, not mentioning theres 2 more semesters after this. But well, at least 1 and 3 quarts are done.

The first semester was like a breath of fresh air away from controlled, waiting lives where not much of my daily peers have any idea of the future or had even think of plans not to say passion or ideas, so being able to mingle with ppl who are in the society and have realistic chats about the fighting daily hardships and the wanting of a better life caught me totally off guard, but I liked it, loved it. The sem passed like a breeze.

As 2nd sem comes to an end while awaiting the final exams, I cant help but feel this sem was kinda dreadful, it might had been partly due to the modules im taking like investment law, macro 2 and bus finance, but I guess the real case was not expecting the sacrifices to continue and actually theres 2 more to come. This sem was a little harder.

Life is all about balances isn it, how the happy substantiate the sad times, the hi-teas to complement the hawker foods, the bear vs the bull in the stock market, ur not able to change the flow but if ur able to balance it up and ride through it, everything should be fine

Its Friday once again, the most awaited day of the week, marking of yet another week of the mundane ns life, its like the sand hourglass having just one grain of sand traveling through the midriff and finally touching down and resting with all the other sands. I can vividly hear the echo when the sands meet.

That slow…. And as end draws nearer, I believe it will be slower for sure, I can guarantee it in fact.



For most part of me, the weekend only meant I’ll be getting more than usual sleep, for usual I meant the 3-5hrs per day that I’ve been surviving from in the weekdays, and for more than usual I mean at least 9hrs for Friday and Saturday.

Did I mention I had insomnia for the past weekend? The traumatizing lost last Sunday had me replaying why and what I should have done and instead every time the lights go off and when the head and pillow meet. Thou I scored a goal, it was far from comforting knowing you suck and being one of the 2 strikers, as the responsibilities of scoring goals lies mainly on strikers, being 50% of the strike force and only managing that pathetic 1 for the whole 90mins is just not enough, for me that is.

No doubt the mind is a dangerous thing, but its humanity and senses that keeps it in check, the sense of responsibility, guilt, parental love, keeping us human……….. Animal-ly human

the weekend's gone again and here comes the monday blues not missing the schedule, it nv does.

these days, i've been trying to take each week at a time so that 8 mths left would not seem like a long episode. the effect did work, but tragically wore off just after 2 weeks.

its back to square one, pondering wondering, dreaming, ultimately waiting.

putting it in a good way, its waiting for my chance to try to alive the singaporean dream, waiting for the big bucks, waiting to relish life,

putting it in another way, you nv know what lies ahead, really wondering if i have the capability to even pull of that 3k per month job, not to mention all those 5 digit pay cheques that really make the difference from a HDB to a condo or private estate, from a vios or fit to a 5 series or rx8.

theres always the bell shape curve like how every exam papers are marked, so now the big question is who likes in the top 10-15%.

the papers always feature ppl who made it big in their tender age like the weekends sunday times featuring facebook's founder at 23 years old, or they are just lucky to be in that 10-15% without knowing how they are in it.

these days the future seems more gloomy, knowing a typical education can get you thus far, thus far only, the rest should i say is up to luck.

you cant make a riskless bet, and the best you can do to hedge away risk is ...................... ultimately wat every parents would nag and promote .............. education.
