Career fair

What a tight manpower we have in at the moment. ORD personnel like me and jere had to even participate in the organising committee and didn't have time to go around the booth set up by the companies during the career fair.

We were there early in the morning, gathered for attendance taking and was left there to ROT. We went there for a game of bowling


JB = James Bob. Ok this is not the nicest result, but it's the best for me la. The selling point is, its only $1.80 per game!! at HTNS

Next we moved on to the actual event. Everybody was quite rowdy coz no one was interested. Well, it's true also.

Went to archery to try out.


I'm not a bad shooter, ok?

Hmm, had tonnes of silly fun there, thanks to the both As namely Alvis and Austen who seemed to "shoot" me down by targetting me as their lame remarks and made me like a fool.

Eg 1:

I wanted to try out left handed bow as i was born to be a natural left hand and was curious on how is the feeling like shooting with left hand

Alvis went to the instructor : Sir, do you have a left-handed bow, because he just realised he is a left-handed.

Worst of all, there's not the end.. pls read:

Instructor: Don't find reason just because you can't aimed accurately at the target.

Eh, thanks uh, u all. haha

Just posting

Posting an entry in the middle of the night. Not sleeping at the moment. I am at sun tian's house as this moment.

Anyway, had a tiff with my mother earlier on before i went to sun tian's house. She attacked me for no reason and was also with unreasonable argument points. Thought I will be staying at home during the weekends, and of course i changed my mind.

I dun know what to say also. I just dun want to stay at home and face her. I woke up this (sat)morning for cabin crew interview (ok, i have to admit i am just going for experience knowing that i will fail also). And the moment i walked out of the room, then she started nagging.

Whatever for? I'm not sure

I just can't be bothered with her contents and I left house as early as possible. Same thing happened when I reached home.

Maybe from now on, I shouldn't go home so early and face her, but again, on the other hand, if i dun go home early after work, I will get nagged again. OMG, my mother is so hard to handle/please.

Anyway, i'm so confuse about his domestic affairs.


Enough of the thing above . Hmm, time really flies, it's been a week since i last saw her. And how i wish i can see her once again. Frankly speaking, at times during the journey when i sent her home, i really feel like hugging her and maybe giving her a peck on her forehead. But i think it's not appropiate.

Whatever it is, I'm prepared for the long distance relationship. I'm willingly to give it a try



And also, this might prove another stumbling block for the dec trip there. Thanks to my mother :(

Don't blame me if it's not nice. Coming to Singapore soon.

Back from Thailand

Hello (to anybody), I'm back from thailand yet again. It's really very tough to write an entry after being inactive for such a long time.

Life is still good. My NS (National Service) is coming to an end, and i will be looking for a job very soon. Leaving my S$801 labour job behind. But, being a singaporean, I still think there is a need to protect or at least play a part in "protecting" my country, in a different role.

Having to talk about my NS, I'm very lucky to be posted to administrative job and there is not a need to deal with work fatigue and in between throughout my 1 yr 9 mths, i made fantastic friends locally and overseas.

Without this, I wouldn't have known of a person that i currently fall in love with. And just because of that reason, I flew to thailand on last fri, tagged along with my workplace friend, to look for her.

Reached Thai in 7.55 am, quickly walked to the immigration counter where Jere and I were stalled, due to tourists from the Middle East. I guess they were filling up Visa, thus taking up the time.


Actually, this is my purpose of the visit! :p juz kidding

Took our luggage and out we went from the area. Finally, i'm doing a wise move this time round, I bought a prepaid SIM card. Happily and excited, I smsed to her but only got her reply in the afternoon. Whatever it is, i am happy to see her reply. Smsed to Pin, another of my thai friend whom i gotta know from Ruth, as I needed help in translation and more information of thai.

Took taxi and checked-in at Samram Place Hotel and the journey cost 400 baht. It was around 9.20+ am then. Settled down for a while, and we went to the nearest 7-11 to stock up waterpile and I forgot where we went to afterwards.

Waited for another group of our friends to arrive in Asia Hotel. Went to MBK to familiarise the place. Ok, everyone made a joke out of me, saying that Thailand is my 2nd home now. Soo Teck even said that I am more familiar of the place than him (FYI, He is a half-thai and a half-chinese)

Walked around and we parted from the rest. Leaving me and Jeremy alone, so we decided to do something that I never even do despite visiting thailand for the past 2 years.


The Simpsons -> Spider-pig, Spider-pig

We watched movie! Omg, i tell you. If you think their theatre are run-down, then you are wrong! It's state-of-the-art lighting, decor all around it. Due to their comfort of the seat, I was actually struggling to stay awake.

Went for foot massage at the night and headed back to hotel only at around 2+ am.

Ok, it's a Saturday. The day that i am very much looking forward to. Went to JJ market in the morning and went shopping with the guys and later met up with her for a short while.

That same sweet smile of her that i once saw was still there and though it was like 3 months ago when we last met, I felt as thought I never see her for years. Anyway, I just told myself that come 6 pm quick so i can go out with her.

Went to Ladprao for dinner at Oishi restaurant and we exchanged our gifts and I hope she really likes the bear. The gift that she got for me was really nice; simple and sweet. I put it in front of my bed and I see that everyday, asleep or awake.

Sent her home and i must say it's an honour for me. Finally, i have the chance to see her off. Indeed it's very dangerous to go home alone. Anyway, the taxi journey home is long and cold one. Negative thoughts about me and her keep surfacing in my mind throughout the whole journey and my whole trip was since then moodless and lifeless.

Sunday, we all went to Pratunum, Chinatown. Bought a bag for my mother costing 1500 baht. The whole day was there and for me, I rushed back to hotel for a quick shower after a hot day.


Super-JamesBob saying good to roasted duck rice and my favourite FANTA orange drink

Went out with her work and we went to JJ Mall for dinner. i think she had calls from her family member. Went to Karaoke session with them, all the way until 11+ pm. Called my mother and wished her Happy Birthday!! I actually sung a song with her brother, but not in thai of course.

Her sister drove me back to Asia Hotel to meet up with the rest of my friends. Thanks for that.

Frankly speaking, throughout the whole journey, i was very quiet. I was thinking that I might not have any chance of winning her heart and, thinking this trip will be my last one.

Slept in my friend's hotel room until the next day where we walked back to our hotel to pack up and return to Singapore. Bid farewell to Pin and her. Nevertheless, it was still a worthwhile trip after all I only wanted just to see her.

God was not helping me either. They wanted me to stay in Thailand as long as possible with the intention to torture me too, maybe. My flight was delayed until 4+ pm (thai time). Back home at around 10 pm and was in time to still celebrate my mother's birthday.


A very happy looking mom of mine!

Good / Bad News

2 different type of news to share.

Good News


  1. Need not work on thursday as it is a National Day

  2. ORD lunch on wednesday 08/08/07

  3. 1st driving lesson/orientation on 15/08/07 (like~~ finally)

  4. Thai trip (yet again)

Been heavily communicating with madeline, jenyin, twin on these few weeks. Hmm, went out with them too.

Went to apply for PDL on sat morning. Thought that Final Theory validity is 2 years and so i am taking my own sweet time to apply. Anyway, after checking again with the Basic Theory Test Book, it stated that the validity of the Final Theory last for 2 years. So, anyone who tell me that it's 1 year, will kenna scolding by me, because these people may have even pass the FTT.

Headed down to Bugis, Sim Lim Square for a walk with Soo Teck and my laptop is still not ok yet. Zzzz

Went out for KTV and dinner on saturday. and as usual, both of my chat buddies sang very well. and for me, though i'm not very good singer, my standard fell below than my usual level (though i dun have any standard)


Madeline - The initator of the outing


Jenyin - The Crapper


The chat buddies

Had dinner at Botak Jones and halfway the dinner, saw my cousin! We stolled all the way to Batok from Clementi then took a bus from batok back home. It's actually very cooling la..

Congratulations to my another cousin who held his wedding dinner on sunday 05/08/07 in Orchard Parade Hotel. It's a fantastically nice dinner. Bloated when they served the 3rd out of the 10 dishes.

Went home after that.

ORD lunch from my section will be on tomorrow. ok, i think i am quite cursed in soem sense. First in NPCC, I didn't have a simple ORD lunch/dinner. Then in SPF, the ORD lunch is in office. of course, I'm not saying ST is not good. In fact, he is very helpful and initiative to help me do my job. so thanks a lot. Anyway, i already submitted to my fate la. But can be a good thing to have in office also.

Booked for a driving lesson cum orientation on wed and that's 2 days before my thai trip.

Thailand~~ here i come again! Kindly do not contact me between 17th and 20th morning. Anyone found doing so, will be penalised by treating me for meals when i am back in singapore. Anyway, i will be using their pre-paid card.

Bad News

  1. Force to study in SIM
  2. Work output was terrible these few weeks
  3. ORD soon

After listening to one of my cousin's comment, my mum said that i should study and insisted me on doing that. No problem with that actually, but she persuaded me and forced me to work around 2 years ago, citing reason that because I need to go to the society to be "tortured" first, and to gain some experience and then to study. She also mentioned that no need to study so early la, later soem company might even send u for course if you have good performances.

Then just after listening the comment and allow only a FEW mins to take effect, she started to make an amazing u-turn decision to force/insist to study. She called for a discussion and after hearing me out that i feel like working first explaining that I am not prepare to study as first i am not strong in academically, secondly i am still considering waht i should study.

She then scolded me upside down and even got into quarrel. Ok, this is what u call discussion. Then there's no point, well.. a very typical Lee Kuan Yew's pattern. But never mind, i managed and somehow told her i am only working for a year. As of now, the case is closed. I can't
guarantee the future though.

ORD soon and all the benefits i am enjoying now will disappear. I really dun understand why people like to ORD if we are not talking about the allowance component. Our transport is subsidized, our basic medical are waived and free things to enjoy too. So, what is it so bad to ORD.

Ok, i'm quite confuse to say anything else.
