WAHAHA currently on cloud nine at this hour=)
since no school, going to have a haircut tomorrow at snip avenue, a new shop that had just open at blk 419. well, giving the stylist a chance and also because of promotion, 4.80 for a cut. well bargain for me, with a mushroom hairstlye that i had now, i don't mind giving them a try. perhaps watching warlords tomorrow too. a show definitely worth watching.

many thanks to people who had brought me laughter, joy and the feeling of being love in this past few days, i really did enjoyed myself this christmas!
first celebration was with the Genki people, after our work on Christmas eve, everyone from TM came down and celebrate this joyous occassion together, and together, most of us are drunk, very i meant. played games and had a gift exchange. thankz Ben for the present! muhaha. . .
after the hangover, met up sjab peeps for a dinner at swesens and had our fill there.after that, went to slack at starbucks and called for my as-usual iced caramel macchiato. after the work at Genki, met up with them and went to 800+ for supper.
well, the most exciting part i guess was to go to kian peng's house and stayover. played guitar for hours without knowing, totally indulged in it. sing along session with wen xian and recorded one of the songs with me crapping a female voice in a duet. someone actually asked to compose a song about the life in genki, sounds cool right? came out with the tunes and melody but was ruined by wen xian's lyrics as he wrote it as if to a girlfriend. . . oh man. squeezed with him on the upper deck of the bed and romantically spent the night with him.
this christmas is the first time in my life to receive so many presents, be it big or small, i appreciate it alot. especially the one from yanling's mouse rest and pad and not forgetting wenxian and arthur's jack daniel's t-shirt. so many special gifts, also from 'mother'=) felt so love this christmas. but, this christmas i do not really experience the meaning of it, did not sing any christmas carol, no candle liting in the whole service, miss those days though....
wishes all a Belated Merry Christmas!

most amazing thing ever happened.
since working at genki since the graduation from sec school, i had just received my lowest pay of my career. S$230!! this is not good, in fact, it's bad.
didn't went for tuition today and got a scolding from meiqin. if u happened to see this, this will be the last time not going alright, very sorry if u were to get implicated due to this issue.
cool things occurred both yesterday and today.
yesterday went to united square to work and on my way back home through train with my friend, at the stop in Orchard, a full built dog was in the train and was walking from one end of the train to the other end. it stirred up huge commotion among the crowd who were standing, and due to that, the train had set off late, i wonder if the dog was on the train throughout the whole journey.
went out to get presents for genki gift exchange, which end up with some cranky gifts. however, the three of us got a huge, i mean really huge calculator for my asst manager, jasmine. hope she could manage the account better without the hassle of straining her eyes. bad weather today. had difficulties travelling from cinneleisure to heeren. BUT, it's the season of giving and sharing, and poof, a girl dressed in santa dress asked if we need some shelter to our destination. the act of kindess could be seen through this deed. though it's her job, but the company, which is DBS had indeed show and define the meaning of christmas.
tomorrow will be a great day, still going out to get presents again though with the mediocre pay that i have.
kinda interested in the cube thingy which most people are playing right now. you can see them playing on train, in the restuarant, or even in the toilet. this simple law of getting the colours of each side to be alike, but filled with formulas and method to solve the puzzle. wanna get myself hooked with this game too.
sounds cynical for boonhoe to ask me about a charlie gathering to club?! gathering? club? i felt so out with them wanted to go clubbing as a gathering for charlie, and to think that those came from boonhoe. hey, you had grown up dude! way to go. hope they feels the same way too and come out with an alternative. well, quite bonded afterall, after years of seperation, still had this kinda meeting really makes my day.
anyway, thanks xueling for helping me for the blog songs for umpteen times alright.

Yesterday:$9.60
Today:$4!
fatigue is getting over me, did not manage to get some quality and quantity rest for past 2 days. perhaps too long never work long shift. i, for consecutive 2 days had been late for work.
but late or a reason, a brotherly reason.one of my lovely brother, wanted to do something special for his girlfriend, got us to help him to set up some domino simlar of structure, something whereby you drop a ball and it hit onto the first cd, it toppled and the rest will follow suit. yea, set that up for hours and in the end, a failure. still, brotherly love been show to him, good enough.
well, this week came three new girls to join our genki family. they are much better than the previous 2 girls. though same age, but mentality wise, these bunch of girls are more hardworking and willing to learn. something that i like for a newcomer to behave.
there are so many things to be done. orientation as of most important, volunteer gathering, bravo planning, projects submissions and many to come.
Christmas coming, a season of giving, anyway it's the first christmas since sec2 that i did not celebrate it in church. well, may not be in church at the moment, but the meaning of christmas still linger in me. a season of giving, where people uses gifts to express their love for others, the season of appreciation, the season of love. not saying not to do that during other times, but to practise it more often in this festival.
the true meaning of christmas, but i will not have the chance to celebrate it with true meaning this year.
due to project break-free, will be getting some small gifts for gifts exchange, don't mind!
yes yes, i just received my first christmas sugar cane!

well, the records of expenses:
yesterday: $10.10
today:$7.70
with the embarking of project break-free, i've got to scrimp on many stuffs. however, due to the benefits of good brudders and genki, i also ended up with good food. the great thing about working in a F&B industry.
was addicted to the anime "Beck", which was introduced by my cousin who was playing in a band. this anime really inspire people who play musical instruments in rock bands. my cousin therefore got herself a white guitar, same as the lead role is holding on too.
oh yeh, went to donate blood today at HSA with yanling, went there and had the usual procedures. however, everytime i go for such donation, though i know that it's painless, it's a whole new experience everytime i go. remember the first time at joo chiat CC when i finally got eligible to donate, having the sticker" please be kind to me, it's my first donation". duman high students from some clubs taking photos and giving it to us as a momento. it's definitely nerve-cracking experience, fearing of the pain of inserting a huge needle into your flesh, drawing out pints of blood. also got to know my blood type throught the first donation. second was at TP, got rejected because of the lack of idemity form, turned up the other day with the form and got to donate, this time round i was trying to act cool, taking shots of the procedures and talking more to the nurse asking them to pose when i filming the process. still remember that day was also the release of O level results and went to dine with someone special( oh well...).
third time was at HSA when yanling approached me to go. i steadily agreed and it was a mistake, it left me with horrible mental block of the professionalism of the staffs at HSA. it was all fine till i step into the donation site, a guy whose in plain formal clothes, not some with vest or tags indicating that they are the doctors. he approached me and was asking me to settle down while he will be attending to me. i thought to myself saying i'm under good care of a doctor.how naive. alright, here comes, a staff nurse was observing him as he performing the usual procedure of applying the antiseptic cream and marking of vessels. the moment the staff nurse said" sir, this should be done this way, if not......", i knew something was wrong. so, to kill the cat in me, i went up and asked more about him, then and then i got a revelation that he's not a doctor nor a nurse, he's a NS reservist who is in a combat medic, blood supply unit. man, he calmed me with words and asking me some questions to divert my thinking and doubt of his skills. he kept on asking me if i'm alright and everything's fine and stuffs. he seems to be more nervous than me though. i said to him it's alright to make some mistake for the first few times, everyone got to learn before he picks up the skill, he reply with the most amazing sentence" this is my 20th time." !! oh my, this isn't a joke or hoax, it's true, man, then my blood got clotted and i am not able to donate one full pack of blood. the gift gain from this kindess was a whole big patch of contusion wound on my arm.
so i swore to myself, being a samaritan for once is enough, i would reject all similar cases again. then i went there again to HSA, wanted to be attended by a senior staffs. to my delight, all on shift that day was all seniors, no inexperience looks from any of them. a tiny case of a 60+ yrs old nurse came to me, and helped me, kinda forgetful that what she had gave me and intending to give me again, the stress ball. this panic me again of not having an inexperience staff, but a muddling old lady. but it all ended good with another nurse and had everything done in a blink of the eye. after donation, got a t-shirt to reward donors for donating 3 times a year, also a 2008 organiser=) suddenly equipped with so may gifts=)
gonna work full for the next few days, i'm definitely gonna wear out, projects piling up for me to clear too. MAN!

need to go for hell months. gonna go through the darkest moment of my life.
*ProJect Break-Free*
anyway, today was a hilarious day out with brudders. funny things happened at Carl's jr where we had our dinner, and thanks Kaili for the treat! well, back to the topic, there's this huge napkins holder on every of the table in the restaurant. got our food and as the table was not big enough to contain everything that's on the table, i left the holder on the floor, and the next moment when i picked it up from the floor for charmaine, the whole thing opened and napkins neary fly off from the holder, the thing is that i can't manage to close that gadget back. pleaded with the servers and with a click, the thing was fixed. i was stunned.
took train back,on the way to station and on the train, perhaps due to sugar-rush, i got all hyped up and when to disturb all of them. even went to the Gio to disturb alvin, who was apparently working there. on the train, i rushed in like a typical singaporean and grabbed myself a seat, leaving ivor and charmaine standing. ivor wanted to sit on my lap, and i kept moving my legs in a up-down movement that make others see as having *toot*. we laugh so loud that many look at us. then, at Eunos, this malay kid board the train, blame it on his luck to step in on that train at that time when i was high. i disturb his dress sense and stuffs, saying bad things like, he look like a joker in the show ' batman', with eyes big and round, and with long,wide smile. then charmaine asked how did they manage to wear the cap on the head just on one side of the head without falling off. i made a terrible remark saying, there's an extra brain or lump there, so it does keep the cap away from falling.
went for slack at Mac in t-mart and talked to ivor from 11 to 3am i supposed.

today, not a bad day- still passable.
went for tuitions today, but because i overslept again, had to postpone it half an hour later. parents were kind to me as usual, students still as engagin as before. however, i learned alot myself too from the lessons. there's alot of vocabs that i did not came across or actually familar with the words, such as, undulating, perplexed, advocate, respite, intermittent, explusion, retrospect, insidious, belie and apartheid.
well, i may be a tutor for english, but to my dismay, there's so much words out there which i didn't even know about it existence. the only way to improve is to put them to use. i also asked my student to set up a simple blog and i could look through it and had it viewed. cool right, an exciting learning environment.
went to collect some assessment form from my guys, but a redo is required guys(explained in details when we meet up).
tomorrow will having an outing with brudders to town and have some lan gaming, how nice to have a sunday morning to laze around at home with no school nor work.

well, didn't blog for yesterday, was quite tired after watching some show on the net.
was watching the show 'the last legion', well, the plot and timeframe was wrong, the character was also acting the wrong role, in the sense that the last legion actually disbanded century before the battle actually been fought. however, rome war show has never failed to interest me. it may not show interesting but looking at how the rome fought the war with the Gaul or the barbarian during the dictation time, it really fascinate me with the strategy been thought of by Julius Ceasar. it may show silly, but after the show, i actually went to the net and search more information about the war, on how rome had their formation under what circumstances and terrain and stuffs. search and search till i saw about the knights templar, for those who don't know, St John was borned through the war fought between the Christains and the Muslims during the Crusades, and St john was borned in giving medical aid to the soldiers who were wounded through the battle. i also read through the maltese cross, the cross that was on the St John logo.
yesterday was the last paper and as usual i flunk it too. still, the mood of having a holiday has never failed to brighten my days ahead. went to do my long lost hobby, playing the lan. got really hooked up by the game, 'command and conquer 3; tiberium war'. brillant graphic and contrast between forces and more strategies could be used in the game. borrowed the gam from another friend but com fails to let me play it, total disappointment.
today, nothing much, but was PS by TK. supposingly, plan was to go to his house to play the game, but till i went under his block and called him, he's not around. for a moment , i suddenly felt that i'm so lonely. called many of my closed friend and all was not available to me, so decided to go play lan ALONE. played a while and met up with kl and cheng to play again, managed to get cheng interested in this game, in future, i will have more kaki to play with me.
slacked with the Genki peeps just now but it wasn't a pleasant one, reason why i change my mood is not, if i did not change my mood, the commotion will just carry on and i'll just be a laughing stock. a short laughing will do, not some that will actually go out and cause some harm to others. think about that.
tuition tomorrow, hope it will be a enjoyable one, and hope that my tuition kid wil buy the stuffs i asked him to buy for me=)

not a very good day for me.
today, i WOKE UP LATE!! VERY LATE!! the first paper starts at 9:30am, guessed what time i woke up?! i woke up at 9:15am!!! can you believe it? so many things not done yet, not yet wash up, not yet bring my lovely dog to toilet, not yet pack my stuffs and not yet iron my clothes. well, out of so many not-yets, i decided to strike off all except for packing of stuffs, brushing of teeths and ironing of clothes. took a cab down again to school. i was sneezing and sneezing all the way.
alright time for some worst case scenario that can ever happened to me. went into the lecture theatre just on time, try to find my friend who sits beside me, mervyn low wei wen, not to my knowledge that both seats, on his left(13) and right(11) was empty, i was supposed to sit on his right, however, i went to sit on his left seat and started doing of my tests,(btw, that sit belongs to my another friend, melissa lim pei wen. 2 mins after the commencement of the paper, i realised that my phone was with me, and it was not in silent mode. to prevent myself from getting debarred from the test, i surrenderred my phone to my invigilator, forgetting to turn it to silent mode. mins later, melissa turned up, she, as equally as blur as me, did not see the seat number and went to sit on the seat, 15. THEN, i realised i did something wrong. trying my best to focus and next wave of attack came in. the number seat 15 came, derrick, and he's wondering where to seat, not to their knowing that i was the one who screwed the whole seating arrangement. when i thought it's all over, BANG, my phone rang!! my mum wanted to check if i'm awake, she called twice, now i see the gonna-berserk face of the invigilator, i pleaded with him to off my phone. i tell you if i'm not able to score for thi paper it's not because i can't do well. it's just too much distraction and disaster for me.
went home straight to get my lunch and bathe. first time in my poly life going to school without bathing(due to the rush of time).
went back to school to take another paper, which didn't really prepared for it, and yes, i flunked it.
ha, another funny incident happened just now, went to marina south to eat the steamboat, thinking that i will get cured, but, it didn't. took train to marina south, because too long never go there already, had no idea what bus to take and yea, we took the wrong bus instead of 400, we took 402. before boarding, two of my friend, not nice to mention their name, spotted this cute girl in yellow. i thought it was not bad looking, well, of course we did not board the same bus as them. dropped after a stop and took cab down there. after some eating and chatting, head back and we saw the same bunch of girls with the yellow girl. the two friend had their eyes wide open and was peeping non-stop. huge crowd was waiting for the same bus, and when it came we went close to the curb and was hoping the bus would just stop right in front of me, or at least near me so i could have a seat. we were near the girl's group. so when the bus stop just halt nearby me, i did a yes! sign and when i looked to my left, i saw the girl doing the exactly same action at about the same time! at first i thought she was trying to mimick me, but she saw me looking at her, with the same actions, with yanling also saw the commotion, we all broke down into laughter.
Tomorrow will be the last paper for the term. 3 CHEERS! can't wait for it to be over! this is so disrupting of my normal routine life!

as i'm typing this posts, i'm had been sneezing and sneezing all night long. it must been the weather that's so bad plus the lack of sleep due to burning of many midnight oils.
fine, woke up at 8:15am when the paper starts at 9am. got Christopher to bathe first while i got myself prepared. he stayed over at my place to "mug". cabbed down to school and we had to forgo our 10mins reading time as we went in the class just on time. managed to write quite abit and first time in my whole poly life to stay at the test/exam venue till the end of the paper.
went back and hibernate till 3 plus, when i'm supposed to meet kaili at 12 for revision. with his 'unfailing love' and tenacity to keep calling and calling me, i was able to meet him at 4.
did abit of reading at some alien's documents and went to play lan with kaili.
cheng missed another paper of his lifetime, due to the ever-short-of-rest, he missed today's paper. WELL DONE! haha, wonder what he's gonna do.
just saw the news today, that the price of the taxi's fare gonna increase, WHAT IS THIS?! aren't the government trying to reduce the usage of private transport and encourage us to take public transport? by rising the fares again, which i believe is the second time doing so, how are we gonna survive long in Singapore? to a person lke me who doesn't like to be late but lazy to wake up so early, Taxi is my main transport!! i am gonna have to change my lifestyle to suit the LTA's contridicting policy. man, how i wish i got a private chopper, to send me to my destination with just a blink of the eye.
i'm enduring, 3 more papers to go, and i'll be free, to work like a slave and to shop like a geek who had never seen the world before.
oh ya, today in school, saw my primary school junior, but due to ages that i've never talk to her, i dare not go up and greet her to prevent any embrassement. though i seen her a few times in school already. so life moved on as per normal till at msn, she popped me a message asking if i studied in TP, at the spilt moment, i was thinking, which jasmine is this jasmine? the sjab one, BIT one, Genki one, Ev one or primary one as all of them named jasmine (well, can't blame me for the wide circles of friends). after some pondering, i realised it's that girl who i saw previously at canteen. so, we started chatting and stuffs, to realise that the OB class that i attended together with the yr 1s last sems, one of them was actually her friend too. what a small world yea?
now as i think back, there are many primary playmates and schoolmates that i've already lost contacts with.

not really pleased, or rather, was angry about my performance of my tests today.
well, though for data mining i knew i would flunk it. so as usual, i did flunk the paper, and i'm not alone. almost all my friends had the same feeling as me.
but for MAF, i thought it would be a breeze for me, but, out of the exam hall, ok, room, the answers that i wrote down was completely different from them. HOLY (this word is not suitable for the weaked heart, viewers' discretion is needed) S__T! i totally had the different answer from them. oh man, forget it, what's done cannot be undone. move on i went to study at 201 mac and was not very conducive. covered three topics out of six, wil be mugging for it later on. guess no sleep for tonight.

quite satisfied with my progress of studying...
got back my mood to study finally today. woke up at around 1pm today and went to study with tk at tamp mart.
managed to master 2 1/2 topics for managerial accounting and finance. THOUGH it's only a mere few topics but only 3 were be tested so quite confident to pass this test.
well, tomorrow paper starts at 3 for MAF and data mining at 5(which i'm not confident at all). come on, wish me break a leg tomorrow, i'll be happy if lady luck is smiling at me this term tests and main exams. back to revision for data mining, a topic which i don't understand a bit.
oh ya, i've got a early Christmas present from my sis. Thanks! it's a nice armrest for my lappy and it's in ORANGE!! PEOPLE, IT'S ORANGE!!!!!

phew. a very long day for me.
well, let's talk about the main topic about yesterday.
didn't attend school for the whole day and i sleep and sleep all the way till four before getting myself get changed up and go for work.
that day is my first day working with this new girl, charisia(i do not know the spelling of her name). however, that's also the last day i'm working with me.
this girl, is the first girl in my whole life, who glared at me with those vicious eyes, i'd lost my cool and started showing my temper to her. not that i trying to sterotype, but she had been saying that there's many things that she can't do and do not have then idea to do. i mean, if genki employ you but most of the job had ben covered by other staffs, what's the point for genki to employ you? to clear plates only? well, this girl does not know the meaning of the 'real world' outside of her comfort zone. she had brought with her her attitude, behaviour and thinking to work and left behind how to be humble, polite and the willingness to learn. therefore, if any of the us who wants to go out and work, remember to change, not to be fake, but to make less people gets irritated by you and thus you will most probably get to learn more things.
well, what happened in the end, she complained in front of me saying that she wanted to quite so i told her," go ahead and quit, we're not short of people.". once again, she shows her temper in front of all the staffs and walked off. at least, her friend, amanda still decided to stay. end of story!
while we were doing closing duties at genki, which lasts till 11:45pm (when the usual knocking off time is 11pm), a drunk arthur called ben and in his stupor condition, with a little gay sound, he asked ben to come fetch him and save him. due to the funny voice her gave, we were all laughing and talk he's just drunk. but, ben thought something was wrong, as arthur really sounds like he's in trouble. so we went down to downtown east to find out what happened. arthur was really in a bad shape. he was lying all only on the bbq pit with no one attending to it. soon enough, ben and i lost our cool and wanted to know why is arthur lying there alone with no one attending to him. then, there were some conversation between ben and the group of arthur's "brother". the thing is, no matter what happened, if you ask your friend and brother to drink, doesn't you have the responsibility to take care of him if he's drunk. leaving him alone there to attend other business, it's totally unacceptable. at last, we brought arthur home and went for supper.
reached home around 5:30am. ironed my uniform and bathed. and off i go for my sjab duty.well, reached there around 7:30 am like that got to change down. do a little of arrangement and was preparing for the elderly to come. things got a little messy and chaotic. but very went pretty well and i see the cadets most of the were enjoying themselves, i supposed.
afterwhich, the officers from EV and GV were talking about POP details and i've got a little cranky as a result of no sleep, i also crack some jokes with the officers. oh yea, i dirtied my uniform with some spilled curry sauce.
after the whole event, we went up to second storey to have our vegetarian meal, alvin and i eat a meal of 10 people's as we thought leaving those food untouched might not be nice, so yea, we finished up all the food in the end. went back home, and slept at 1pm all the way to almost 10:15pm and here i am posting on what had happened.

was quite pleased with myself for having the discipline to attend all the tutorials today and gave tutions to two of my students.
in the morning, with the weather so nice to hibernate and sleep, i was so reluctant to get up and get myself washed up and go to school. but, by the never-say-die will that i'm equipped with, i got up and leave my house at 9:05(lesson start at 9am though).
i just don't get it sometimes why do the taxi drivers does not want to pick up passengers like me when there's no existing customers in it. they will stare at you for a sec, and drove off as if they can't see you. "hello, i'm here, can't
you see me?". till this kind uncle who's willing to pick me up and sent me to school. good begots good. this is true. most of the time when the fare is 10 to 50 cents change, i would ask them to keep the change(not that i'm rich, but if u're able to pay this few more cents, the drivers in a sense will take it as an appreciation or tips.) and today, for the first time, the uncle reciprocate instead, he must have taken many passengers like me.=)
back to school and had a tutorial with my groupmates and off i go taking a cab down to bedok for tuition.
the first student who is a sec4 next year, was fun to teach, mainly because he's also from UG, NPCC. shared alot and exchanged thoughts. gave some homework and tada, earned myself 30 bucks!
went to have a drink downstairs before walking to another student's house. this time round is a p6 kid. he is much jovial and talkative, but was playing with him and even ask him to buy things for me.haha what a teacher i am. well, enjoyed teaching those kids who have their own unique character for you, as a teacher to explore.
took another cab down back to school for a 4hrs straight lessons. was a little suffering but still managed to pass time. in total i've took 3 cabs today and already spent 14 just on cab itself.
called many of them for dinner at 8 but most had already eaten or not free. had to go down to Genki to fill my poor stomach. went there and have some food and talk to the staffs there, and this is where i heard one of the most insane rule they had just implemented as a management. usually, we would be sitting down at the counter table for resting when we normally come early to work or to have our meal before the commencement of work. however, today a rule was set saying no eating and sitting on those tables. come on, where do the management want us to eat, squat down at one corner of the kitchen and eat? or move to the backdoor where the trash is and enjoy the wonderful ambience? it's all crap! another ridiculous rule was that if you're not working on that day, even if you're the staff there, you're not supposed to enter the restaurant! hey, for God's sake, staffs come because they had the sense of belonging in the restaurant and willing to render some help for free. by implementing this rule, we will be seeing each other lesser and definitely, our rapport as a team would dropped! please, as a management, use a little of your brain cells to think.
best part is still slacking with the people and chat and have fun together. i just love to sit down and chat, or even just enjoying the moment of doing nothing, armed with drinks=)

today, made me felt the two extreme of different lifestyles.
read more and experience it with me justifying the statement above.
well, it goes like that, in the morning i've already have a date with ivor to have breakfast together. with his newly gotten license, he drove his dad's car to pick me up below my block and had some beakfast at a coffeshop near EV. afterwhich, he drove off to meet his girlfriend.
had some discussion about orientation with the sec 3s, but wasn't very productive as to say. in the end, was talking to teacher about the camp coming up next year.
was raining heavily, but nevertheless, ivor was there to pick me up again, sent those kids to s-11 and off we go meet up with kaili and went for lunch. we have all the time in the world to decide where to eat, in the car of course. settled with simpang bedok and some light snacks we got for ourselves. got ourselves some drinks and talk for some time despite the unpredictable rain that was ongoing. head back to the car and drop kaili at simei where he meet up his friend at sentosa. slack with ivor again at some carpark, in the car again with seat adjusted this time round and talk again.(sometimes, guys do have the same amount of things to talk and gossip about.). there and then, he dropped me at TM where he went to pick up charmaine.
wasn't that great. having the luxury to sit in a high-end car, to have the freedom to go almost everywhere we wanted to dine, to take out some time to do some unproductive yet relaxing conversations. isn't that what most of us wanted? well, here comes nightmare.
went to genki and there was no one in the restaurant. changed to semi uniform and make some sushi and learn some skills. i was posted as the dishwasher for the night as both aunties where not around. by looking at the crowd, i ASSUME that tonight will not be very busy and soiled plates will be ACCEPTABLE. i was wrong, very, till i start work at 6:30pm, there was already 3 buckets of plates for me to clear and the worst of all, the sink got choked! man, got to dig hard inside and pump out all the waste that the previous washer had created(i wonder who was it!). buckets after buckets i've washed, with a total of at least 15 buckets. buckets of unfinished food, drinks and tissues, terrible terrible situation. the stench of the leftover, the stains on my hands and the soaked up hands i've got just really make the situation worst. to add on to it, i had been standing there for hours, with my back arched, my spine was in a terrible, terrible state. washed till nearly 11pm, with the help of my two dear friends, ben toh and yanling, i was able to complete before 11pm.
this situation, no freedom to even drink a cup of coke,(which is my favourite), no freedom to walk around and chat, was bounded by the buckets and buckets of unwashed plates! man, nice day i had right?
compare the two situation i was in today, two total different scenes, two different environment, completely two different sides! i swore that i must strike rich and be able to have the first type of living, rather to slog so hard at the second scenario.
got a pretty nice hand towel form lactose and a nicely packaged famous amos cookies i've bought from dok hui for her some school projects.
tomorrow will be a packed to the max day for me, lessons, then tuiton for 2 kids and head back to school for lessons again till 8!!
to be continued. . .

what a day i had.
went to school today for a 2hrs tutorial of accounting and finance and it's the end of school, isn't that cool? had the intention to study at tamp mart mac this evening but it turned out that the mac will be closed for maintenance at 11pm, when i've just reached that at 10.45pm? man, the feeling ain't great, turns out to be just taking notes from my friend and already we are slacking at void decks like some retired old people.
for a long time, i had not been able to sit down at a nice corner not like some retired people but rather to have a cup of coffee, perhaps an iced caramel flavoured, chatting and watching the world move in it's hectic style. talking about everything under the sun, be it the past, present or the future. gonna make sure that one of the days during my term break, i'm sure gonna have that, not doing any school work, going to work, doing projects, managing sjab stuffs and worry for anything, just to spend a day, a day of isolation, haha, which is recommended by the book still, in search for the blue moment. it would be so boring to have your day always scheduled and routine, that's not what i want in my life.
oh ya, if you guys are curious about the song that is been played in this blog, it's titled "your call" by secondhand serenade. this band really sing good songs that speaks from the heart. there are more good songs they sing which i think it's worth taking some time out to listen to them.
my life will be so stagnant for this week which gonna make me go crazy!

a few more days to the 5th month since that day.
the one i used to cherish so dearly, yet it had already come to an end for so long.
the one which i confided in the most, lost her trust on me
the one who share everything, now had already turned to total stranger
the one i would never want to lose, i've already lost
the one whose smile that took away every bits of unhappiness, now i'm living without it
to the one who's no longer mine, i've just wanted to be like we used to be before we were a pair
nothing more...

isn't blog a very fun website?
well, i thought it's alot of fun and already employed an image consultant for my blog. so anything not happy can let me know it will be all settled!
back to my sweet memories for today, not extraordinary happened today, just that today Genki have one new girl to join our big family. well, her name is Amanda and many horny guys, i meant, really horny guys either stayed on after work from morning shift or come do to Genki specially to see the new girl. according to our manager, the two girls were very gorgeous and pretty, so they were filled with expectancy to see her. the climax was here, one girl came in, well, to all, including me thought it was a young girl who wanted to dine in at Genki, but it turned out to be that girl we all had been expecting for. she looks very young though. all of us break down and laugh when we thought it' a real beauty. but she ain't that bad too. a sweet girl i suppose. as usual, all newcomers were taught by me, and everything ended with a cranky hoo-ha which causes my asst. manager cum mother Jasmine to come down to Genki despite her already-knock-off time.
term tests are round the corner and i've already feel the anxiety in me. 6 papers in 4 days, in which 2 papers on the first day. as long all pass, i'm satisfied, ha, the usual slacker i am.
a rough plan of going Genting with the brothers during term break, though it's expensive, but for the sake of our gonna-enlist brother, kaili, it's all worth.
watched Gladiator again, and the war scene never fails to captivate me. how impressive the Rome soldiers can be with their wisdom on wars and reigns. this powerful phrase " strength and honour" realli turns me on. i'm a little cynical, ain't i?

man, you guys must be envious about the amount of orange used in my blog. can't go further explaining how much i love this colour.
still remember what gives me the idea of having orange as one of my must-have colour. it is only after i bought my first ever crocs. only after getting that pair of comfty shoes/slipper, had i fall in love with this cheerful colour.
lots of thank to those who are kind enough to make this blog a nice and vibrant one, thanks to xueling and kenneth. however, some of the links i don't even know who are they, but will will sort it out one day.
yesterday was a great breakthrough for me and ben. we had embraced ourselves and lay our foot to new york skin solution centre at white sands yesterday, only to find out that there were many same beings in that shop. had a superficial testing on the facial and an explaination on our skin problems, and ben had signed up for the sessions to have his face get back to its glory it used to be... haha... well, i only got to wait till i got the money to do so, too much channel to spend my money on.
today went for the wong lee hom concert for public duty, most of us were officers who were present as there were age limit for the duty, his concert was good and songs were sang with great voice, spurs me to also wanna sing as good as him.
meet up with guys who also went to watch and met a new friend, kim. nothing much happened only that we kinda lost our way to kallang mrt station and landed taking bus 10 back.
on the way back, was reading the book again, and was on the topic "falling in love". this topic really gave me wisdom on this topic. let me share abit of wisdom by me.... haha...
"if you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. there is nothing wrong with you. love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart.if you find someone else in love with you and you don't love her, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gifts you cannot return. do not take advantage, do not cause pain."
"if you fall in love with another, and she falls in love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame. let it go. there is a reason and there is a meaning. you will know it in time, but time will choose the moment."
isn't that a new revelation to all of us? i thought it was a very good explanation about falling in love. well, still abit immature for me to fall in love right now, wait for me to be more mature before heading into one.
as a painful experience of getting into a relationship, now i fear of getting into one now.( though sometimes i will crack jokes to my friends singing i need a girl, if you know this song)
