today went cycling... or so i tried. haha. i know i am not good at cycling so actually i wanted to go for blading instead. actually, i'm equally bad for both =( however, the huge price difference made me go back to cycling. i was at ecp today with my uni frens. my suckiness in cycling became VERY apparent once we got our bikes and started to move off. sigh. at least after a while, i got better but still quite bad. at least i can cycle... but nobody says cycling needs to be in a straight line rite? =P

 

i totally felt myself as a road hazard today. and it's sunday and ecp was sooooo crowded. ("<) there were quite a number of times i caused near accidents with other cyclists and there was one time when i actually caused one =P but that guy was quite closely behind me i guess. i lost control of my bike and hence i immediately braked. that guy crashed into me and his bike fell on the floor =P

 

 

 

 

currently there are a number of things which i need to do... to prepare a pptn on a chapter from the stupid book "why did the chicken cross the road" due dunno when, to study for an almost non-existence upcoming exam and also to study for tml's course.

 

today, jus as i was goin home and wondering which i should do for today, i realised when i reached home... that i left the chapter and the textbook in my office! orh god! orh well... this jus left me with my 3rd option. hmm... great... no need to choose. hahaha.

 

 

 

 

last friday 2nd oct i had my 1st event at the office... mid-autumn. then all the new staffs were kana-ed as the team leader, to lead the team when we play games. the thing is... no. 2 is in my team! OMFG! how to lead lidat lah! furthermore all the others were more experienced and older than me... orh well...

 

anw, the event went well althou we made a not so colourful / beautiful lantern, but it was sturdy and durable! haha. and the part abt telling the rest why we made that lantern, i ended up like trying to sell the lantern. haha. it was fun and i had fun. but the thing was... after the event, when i went back to table, then it was reality check. I STILL HAVE LOTS OF WORK TO DO! arghhhhh.

 

yest sat, i went back for an exam. i prepared and studied for it. during the exam there were a few qns i din really noe but heng the passing mark is 70%. after i attempted all the questions, the qns i am sure to be correct exceeds 70%. even then, my mouse hovered over the 'finish' button for quite a long time before i dared to click on it. hahaha. ok lah. i passed =) 1 down, 2 more to go.

 

recently, i began to pick up sth i left behind a few years ago. this time, i decided to start all over again, back to basics. hopefully this time, i can go as far as i can, reaching my goal of JLPT2 =P

 

 

 

 

today, as like past few days, i stayed back later than i should have to clear a bit more work. cos lately i have to attend classes in the morning, leaving only the afternoon to clear my work. then today at around 6 plus, suddenly one of my colleagues came out of her room and said there was tremor. another colleague immediately supported her by adding that he too felt it and that at first he tot he was feeling giddy. all the while, i did not feel anything as i was moving around and helping wendy pack her stuffs. then when i go back to my workstation to switch off my comp, i stood still... and i felt myself shaking to and fro. haha. interesting...

 

then there were calls calling us to evacuate the office. as suntec did not issue any announcements, wendy and i continued with our packing and ignored those calls. =p

 

 

 

 

this morning at 6.58am, a boy had safely come to this world. Alvin has a baby boy =) he's a father now. he msg me this morning... the starting of his msg was: "for your info..." haha. it was a great news! i felt happy for him =) after work, fang, hy, qin and even yl (who said she probably couldn't go) and her bf, and i went down to mt alvernia to look at the baby. haha. i think babies jus have this amazing ability. they can make the pple around them show their most childish moments (which they normally will not show) in their attempt to get the babies' attention, or to get them to smile or laugh. Just now, i saw alvin's mum doing it. haha. when they start to cry in the middle of the night or when they grow older and becomes naughty, the pple around them may become frustrated but as for now, let's just savour the moment =)

 

seeing the baby for the first time also got my mind off all the troubles i had all day long...

 

 

 

 

today i had wanted to go for agm but in the end din go. first of all, i stayed a bit late at work today. i only left the office at 6.15pm, instead of 5.30pm. then i had decided to take a bus to queensway shopping centre. bad choice. it was 6 plus in the evening. the traffic on the road couldn't be any worst... (maybe it can... but wat i really mean is that the traffic was VERY bad) the traffic was slow and there are A LOT of pple boarding and alighting the bus. anw, by the time i reached queensway shopping centre, it was alr around 7pm. the agm starts at 7pm. even if they had problem meeting the quorem and needed a bit more time, i will definitely still be VERY late. so i jus forget it... not goin agm le. when i was walkin to QSC, 2 bus 855 past by and they were very empty. hmm...

 

after i have done my shoppin at QSC, i went to the nearest bus stop to board bus 855 to go home. after a while, the bus came. at first glance, i knew it was bad. it looked dark. this normally means the bus is VERY crowded and it is! when i really took notice of the bus, i was stunned. that bus was old. it was really old! you noe those TIBS yellow buses which you can open the windows... there are two pincer-like things at the sides of the window and to open it you have to 'kiap' them both and pull the window up... and the door is those sliding door! ok... those pple who are born in the 80s will probably noe wat i'm tokin abt. it's THAT OLD! i really tot they had phased out all these buses.

 

when i boarded the bus, the usual phenomenon occured. the back of the bus was really spacious and the door was really crowded. orh well... wat's new. then, i heard a little girl at the bus stop shouting to the pple in the bus 'move in! some more! move in!' her mother by her side was not doin anything to stop her altho they are attracting really some attention onto them (not that it's a bad thing...) hmm... we could certainly need more children like her so that our future can at least be slightly better, with more selfless pple.

 

as the bus was very crowded, and i was the last few to board, i spent quite an amount of time near the driver seat. once the bus start moving, my first tot was... ok... this bus is slow. REAL slow! then, i glanced at the speedometer. my glance turned into stare! the needle had barely left the zero mark! while the bus is moving! either the speedometer is spoilt or the bus was real slow. i chose to believe the latter. according to the needle on the speedometer, the bus was far from 20km/h. it was not even 10km/h! and it's probably not even 5km/h! OMG! if the traffic was bad, i will have understand BUT THE ROAD WAS CLEAR! ALAMAK! all the vehicles were like VROOM-ING past us lah! sigh. the bus uncle is sure a very safe driver. i think my parents, my frens and probably also my insurance agent will be happy to noe that my life is in safe hands. haha.

 

When the bus reached machricite, i couldn't stand it anymore. i switched to bus 167. when i boarded bus 167, the 'more normal model' kind, i was like jus stepped out of the 80s and into the 21st century! OMG! hahaha. on bus 167, i managed to see the next bus 855, a newer model bus. after a few stops, i saw the newer model 855 bus overtook the old bus! haha. that bus was probably so old... that going above 20km/h will break it apart.

 

such old buses should really remain in the musemums...

 

 

 

 

aug is considered over and sept is here. i am still not getting the breakthrough i need for my job search.

 

last nite, i had a funny dream. i dreamt i was a teacher at some sec sch... teaching class sec 1C. which subject? i forgot alr. anw, that dream did not end off well. first of all, in the dream i kept stuttering, my tongue kept tripping over my teeth... and the dream ended with almost all the students shouting and i couldn't restore order. See! i shouldn't be a teacher. hahaha.

 

orh well... i wonder how long more i have to wait for my first job. hmm...

 

 

 

 

anw, i jus rejected my aunt janice regarding her invitation for golf. she had invited me to go play golf at warren, since i am now waiting for pple to hire me. haha. but golf is a new sports, quite like tennis. ok... it's even newer than tennis. the swing, the grip on the clubs and the tiny white balls... haha. anw, it was very sudden. she posted on my fb wall, inviting me to go play golf. i replied around 12 mn. today, she replied, asking me to go join her today! haha. i was not mentally prepared yet =p

 

 

 

 

yeah! i recovered le! today will be my last day eating 'sick people food' like porridge and soup kway tiao... tml, i am sooooo goin to eat fried stuffs! ahhaha. for one, zinger burger sounds nice to me. hehehehehe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

orh well... i am finally here =p adding a new blog entry to this dusty and mouldy blog. haha. times seems to have flew since my last update on 1st june. after that on 7th june i left for australia, where i tried almost all the stuffs which i will not do or not allowed to do when i go travelling with my parents =p they included... bungee jump, skydive and summore to go out on the streets when it's 9 deg celcius, with nothing more than jus tee shirt, berms and slippers. haha. it was super fun but the trip, i think, was too long. until the end of the trip, i certainly did not have the feeling of... 'i still haben play finish... i dun want to go home' kind of feeling. orh ya! i even drove there... but sadly... only for a day. cos driver beh zai =(

 

and so, we came back on the 22nd june. when i touched down on singapore, i was kinda forced to leave early. first of all, my parents came to fetch me... altho i told them not to... and secondly... because my mum tot i took the other flight, they arrived almost one whole hour earlier... hmm... so with them alr waited so long, i couldn't bear to let them wait any longer as i wait for my frens who went shopping for wine and liqour ( before my impatient dad erupts =p ).

 

my search for job continued a few days later... at around 25th june. but more imptly, i was trying to clear my ippt. this year, i had actually went to run for sundown marathon, hoping the training for it will do me some good for the 2.4km of ippt. but, as i later realised, the pace i trained for marathon, was totally unsuitable for ippt. with that pace, i can fail until 烂! by the time i came back from australia, it's alr 22nd june and my window closes on 9th july. on 30th june, i went to take the test and found out that 2 weeks of nua-ing in australia had took it's effect on me! so, i went to train. wat even calls for worry is... the behind-knee pain with i suffered from previous ippt is still there, and during my timed-run training, my right knee cartilage gave way, so the bones were grinding each other, making running and sometimes even walking, unbearably painful... heng for me... i am still young! =) after some medication, i recovered fast and even more heng... on 7th july, 2 days before the close of my window, i finally passed! hehehehe. no need to go RT for the next window le =) it's the best present i can ever give myself =)

 

this month has been great for my account... i realised that SAF pays me for taking ippt... even if i fail on those attempts! haha. altho not a lot... but i took quite a number of times. furthermore, i passed the test, which translates to more money =) and there's also the gst rebate from govt. so altho i had two quite ex meals this month, a 聚聚 buffet dinner with rong lun, wenguang, sandy and weiheng on 6th july, and also the Al Qasar dinner at holland v after my commencement (which totally did not suit my taste =p) plus my bills and stuffs... i am still doing fine! haha. but it's still too early to say. it's only like mid-month =p

 

i am still searching the gleamer of hope in job finding... the phone interview with aerotek unsurprisingly did not turn out well. however, more depressing is still the fact that i did not even get past the 1st round of interview for cadet pilot at singapore airlines. sigh. then previously, i went for the interview for great eastern, which i am not so keen on doing, cos it will involve the selling of policies. yest, i went for the interview for senior police officer, which i am equally reluctant to take up =p cos there will be a 9-month training course and i heard it's stay-in style. but then, yest i realised... even if i am willing to undergo the 9-month course, the place will not be easily secured, for there are quite a number of pple applying and there are a total of 6 rounds of interview. dunno if shannon passed all 6 rounds alr... and there are still the chemist companies, which still haben get back to me! sigh. that time chem grad ball dinner, i realised that my whole table... only me and another person did not have a job. ALL THE REST GOT A JOB ALR! and the other person who still haben found a job.... he's a 1st class hons! so a scholarship for masters or phd is easily in his grasp. hmm... hope i can end this lo-bo-ing by the end of this month *fingers crossed*

 

 

 

i believe... good things happen

 

last sat at 2359hr, i started on my 1st marathon... Sundown. haha. i din really train for it. the last training i had with hy and fang was only until 14km. this was 42.195km. =.= anw... so off we went. at the start all of us were fresh. we ran, joked and find interesting girls oops i mean things, along the way to follow. haha. you get wat i mean. all was well and ok until we passed 16km. i started to feel like got the joint in my left ankle starting to loosen le. like it din fit so nicely alr. anw, i went on. then at 18km, fang had to slow down. i opted to run tog with hy and fang instead of goin solo. i guess i really cmi at around 21km mark. my hip joints started to ache, behind-knee tendon became so strained it hurts and also not to mention my ankles, which still hurts now when i walk. in the end... i ended up walking quite a distance. i only ran when i felt recovered but not for long =( in the end, i finished the race in 7hr. hmm... nxt time, hope it will be better... if there is a next time. haha.

 

today i got the reply email from SIA. it is the reply email regarding my preliminary interview. as much as i wanted the job, the same couldn't be said abt my efforts =P my aunt had even got her fren to tell my which websites to prepare for the interview. i only read thru them over the days and only start making notes on the day before the interview. today the reply email came and it was negative. hmm... sad. i tot i can go on with this lifeline and stop sending out resumes le. orh well. guess i will have to start all over again... with hsa and ava still awaiting reply.

 

 

 

 

the owner of this blog is really getting very lazy and this blog, as a result, is not getting updated as frequently as it should have been... ok... maybe worse than that =P haha.

 

my final exam in nus as an undergraduate ended on the 6th of may. after the exam, there wasn't any exhilaration which came over me. maybe partly because i knew i had screwed up the paper. it's like... the stuff which i studied intensely for din come out! hmm... hopefully i dun do too badly *fingers crossed* anw, after the paper, i went with sandy to BK at holland V for our lun-ner (lunch + dinner) then i made my way home, lightened my load before i went to meet fang and hy at chinatown for our second K session in our 10 years of friendship. haha. later at 12mn, i went to tiong's hse for mahjong and uefa semis between chelsea and barcelona. sigh... sadly... chelsea lost. stupid barcelona scored at 90+3 min... leaving chelsea practically no chance for revenge. the ref also... hmm...

 

anw, besides the fun, i also took sth from his hse. er... actually is jus borrowed lah. 'Angels and Demons' well... it's a good book... or so i tot but the review in 'Today' said otherwise.

 

between then and now, i din totally waste my time k. haha. now i hardly come online le. linjie went to taiwan, so is tiong. wh and derek went europe. anw, not coming online means... more time for other things heee. i went to activate i-banking and phone banking for my mahattan card... jus in case i need it in australia. i went to cancel my campus acc with UOB and changed it to a savings acc. i tot the UOB platinum now card is tied to the campus acc and cancelling it will also cancel the card. i was wrong, as my UOB i-banking acc revealed. i tot the black UOB campus card couldn't be used anymore with the introduction of the platinum now card. i was wrong again! sigh... Assumptions... orh orh orh... and also not forgettin that i also finished the book 'Angels and Demons'. ok. and also not leave out a whole deal of slacking. haha

 

hmm... my last exam ended on 6th may, but it took me until around 12th may then did it dawn on me that i should get a job. haha. not like my so many frens around me... and i really mean MANY! they alr have a job waiting for them. most of them being teachers and are waiting to go moe/nie. the rest... mostly chemistry industrial companies. well... at least i started. i sent to SIA, HSA and AVA. one each. good thing... SIA replied. they also told me to get a eyesight (snellen's chart) and colour-blindness (ishihara) check. bad news... my left eyesight had degraded. actually i knew abt it some time ago alr. but i jus refuse to accept it. but now, it's official. i tot of using my right eye to do the test first and rmb the stuff on the chart so that my left eye can 'cheat'. but i din. i used my left eye first and once i covered my right eye, to my horror, the 6/6 line went almost totally blur. i could also hardly make out the 7/6 line. sigh. perfect... no more.

 

went for a ippt today. after all the marathon training. i tot the run will be like a stroll in the park... or is it? it turns out. all my trainings had not been on the 'correct' pace. today's run really took it's toll on me altho i used to do 8 - 10 km and today is jus a 2.4.

 

bottomline... i will need to run more, at the 'correct' pace,  send out more resumes and also pick up jap again. orh and there's still one more thing. try to save as much money as possible. haha.

 

 

 

 

orh well... i'm back... but it had been a very enjoying 3 days in redang =)

 

set off on sat 19/4. went to army market food centre for dinner before boarding the bus. it was a 9-hour ride to tregannu but of cos with some stopovers along the way. reached tregannu at around 6 plus in the morning... boarded the ferry at 7.30 and left for our destination island: Redang! hahaha.

 

reached there at ard 9.30am. had to attend a briefing before we can go anywhere... macciam like lecture lidat. bleh. went for lunch before we got our room keys. i tot the lunch was not quite good but py linoo they all said it's cos i am picky =(

 

went for our first snorkelling trip (my first in my life hehe) at 3pm. the place was called deep sea but deep sea my a**. some of the areas were so shallow that a lot of us 处焦. after that was dinner and we spent our nite strolling the beach before sitting down at a cafe near our resort and listened to some really nice songs while drinking =)

 

second day we woke up real early to catch the sunrise =) it was worth the wait. we took a lot of photos. derek even got an award-winning shot with his hp. haha. after breakfast, we went on for our second snorkelling trip at marine park. the corals there were nicer but we din get to see any sea turtle or eels. hmm... by then... i really felt i had come on a swimming trip instead. after lunch we decided to skip our third snorkelling trip and spent some good sunshine time at the beach =D

 

after this trip, i came to noe that...

when someone says a food item has a quiet taste, its taste may not be so quiet after all...

linoo can go work for nat geo and take photos and videos and maybe i can go be his assistant. haha.

 

all in all... i was very glad that i had persuaded my parents to let me go on this trip. on the last day, i really had the feeling... 'i dun wanna go home'

 

today i dragged my lazy body to the lib. but it was no use. i reached at around 12.30. had lunch with wh, derek and linoo. went back to lib at around 1.30. got the photos from linoo. he took 500 over photos! o.0 after i glanced thru all of them, it was alr 2.30. after that i finally took my file out of my bag and flip open my notes. that was when the magic begins. it seems my notes have some magical powers which can cure whoever person who is having insomnia. haha. i was still in the relax holiday mood and so i really dun want to drink tea to perk myself up. in the end... i left for home at 7.30... with almost nth done =P

 

tml... tml i will start on my help cards and hopefully i can finish them in one day *fingers crossed*

 

today i finally went to make the purchase. hehe. i went to buy digital camera! hahaha. that time i told py very confidently that i will buy a red sony camera. that din happen. i told many pple i want to buy a sony cybershot T700. that din happen also. i once told linoo casually that i will buy his dream olympus model cos he also dunno why... in the end bought another camera at the IT fair. this... happened. haha. i had actually wanted a red colour but this model din come in red. i took the usual silver in the end. hmm... but... yeah! i finally got my own digital camera! hahaha =)

 

 

 

 

haha. actually my fyp is over on monday lah... 17.25 slot for presentation. supposed to end at 17.55. instead, junhong ended early so i started early. took a full half an hour for my pptn... ended at 17.39 hahaha. FYP IS OVER! overall was still ok. chan yin thai seems like a nice person. he ask a number of qns but he also prompted me to the ans for some qns.

as of now, master cube is done. i can solve it w/o referring to any notes or website alr. bag for this sat trip is still not packed. tml py they all goin for shopping. most prob i will go along... which means no time to pack. sat i will be out since noon for standin comm outing... translates to lesser time to pack. so... i better pack tml morning, before i go meet py they all. haha. if i can wake up early enuf =P

 

 

 

 

handed in my 1st draft to boss for vetting. it's really quite late alr. the report is due on thurs. she will still need to read thru my report, edit and send back to me for me to update the necessary changes. sigh. this morning i woke up real early loh... like i got 8am lecture lidat. jus to hand in the report to her first thing in the morning once she came to sch.

 

should be abt time i start on my presentation alr. hmm... but today i should be catching up on my other modules today. tml adv forensic sci got tut and also a possible test for trace. these few days haben really been sleeping much but dun think i can sleep well until after presentation. sigh.

 

these few days i really got a strong urge to go buy a 4x4 rubik cube to play lah... but need to learn first. but hor... CANNOT!!! HAHAHA. buy alr means easier for me to get distraction. zzZ.

 

normally at times like these, after finishing a major work (fyp report), i will give myself a one day rest. but hor, now really no time. all the rest can wait until i go redang lah. hehehe. and i still want to get the camera!!! good news tho. sony came out with T900 le so the price of T700 should drop. hehehe.

 

 

 

 

sigh. i dunno when this dark cloud will move away.

 

last friday, 27th mar, i din go lab. instead i went to sci lib to do my stuff... catch up on trace lecture notes and attempted the assignment. my laptop was fine... other than a few glitches here and there. i alr tot of givin it another 'restore to default setting' operation again le. the previous two times i did this was 2nd feb and 17th mar. well... i did agree that my acer was old and it's probably abt time for me to change one. but i tot it can last until after i grad from uni. i left the lib at around 5.30pm. my acer was still functioning well when i close it. after i reached home at around 7, when i tried to switch it on, it won't budge. there's no light, no screen, no response. even when i charge the battery, the indicator light din light up. sianzzZ that nite, i tot i will start writing my thesis... but i din. laptop down.

 

sat i went over to acer hq at jurong east to have it repair. i tot it's jus a case of wiring problem and it will be fixed in no time and i can be in sch around noon to start writing my paper. wrong wrong wrong... all wrong. i reached acer hq at around 9.30am, the guy told me most prob is the motherboard gone. repairing will cost me 600 over dollars and with gst, it will go up to 700 dollars. needless to say... it's really not worthy. warranty's gone anw. by 10.20am, i see myself boarding the train back to yishun. not goin sch cos laptop died. data still inside. haben take out. sigh. reached yishun, bought ext. hard disk casing, transferred my hard disk over. that day, i din write my thesis again. cos father and brother at home, they using desktop. with my hard disk but no processor or monitor, wat can i do.

 

sun i happily brought my newly acquired ext hard disk to sch, to sci lib to use their comp to write my thesis. reached there around 9.45am. plugged into the comp, clicked on the folder... to my horror! the error msg came out... "Access Denied'! WTF! sigh... the directories were still the same as they were when they were in acer. C:/Document and Settings/Jiajun......... then i concluded that due to some firewall setting stuff, the comps there refused to go into that directory. SIGH! ivan nv bring laptop also. 10:30am, i was on the train back to yishun again. REALLY WTF! reached home, first thing i did was to extract those files out and treat them like files in ordinary thumbdrives. furthermore, i back them up in 2 other thumbdrives... jus in case.

 

whole of sunday i was very troubled abt not having laptop to work on and i have to rely heavily on the comps in sci lib. my break came at around 5pm when my mother finally agreed to buy me a new laptop. but the catch is... this will mean i will have to pay for my australia trip. sigh... orh well... no choice... so off we went at around 8 to buy a new laptop. settled on this lenovo model at harvey at northpoint. specs are great everything's nice. i left it chargin while i went out for a run. after my run, i decided to take advantage of it's norton to scan my various thumbdrives and portable hard disk. i was down to my last portable hard disk when......

 

i was using the desktop and when i turn around to look at my lenovo, the screen went black, everything was black. no backlight, nothing. there's only the charging indicator light. i pressed the on/off button but it did not respond. i tried several times but the results' still the same.

 

mon i din go to sch. around 1, i took it back to harvey, hoping to change for a new one. they were out of stock. zzZ. unless i want to take the set on display. orh well... i couldn't bring myself to settle on the display set. the guy tried to fix and see if it's the problem with the ram. he couldn't find the problem. so... he told me to wait until the stocks come. he told me then it will be tml but jus now, he called me up saying they will only arrive on thursday! SIGH

 

REALLY WTF!

 

guess i will have to rely heavily on those comps in sci lib after all le. 10 more days to paper submission and all these are happening to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! zzZ

 

 

 

 

recently i bought a new phone... not that i want to... but my previous 6628 is really spoiled. backlight is almost gone and sometimes it needs to restart in order to send msges and call. This is extrememly troublesome when i have urgent stuffs to contact my friends.

another thing, as i often lose my directions on the road, a gps phone is jus abt wat i need. but then again... sigh... first was the buying of maps. i tot i can dl them using my laptop then transfer them to my hp. but then... somehow, gprs was activated during the activating part and it turned out to be so expensive... 299 dollars. sigh. then i called singtel to investigate on this matter. first, they told me they will get back to me in 1 or 2 working days. when the time is up and they din get back to me, i called them again, they told me this time they will get back to me in 10 working days! after 10 working days, i called again... cos they din get back to me! that was 12 march. today is 24th march. the letter haben arrived! on the two occassions i called them,ing me the letter was sent on 12th. sigh. is the letter even sent? i dunno. or is the fault with singpost? sigh. nvm. i was alr prepared to pay the bill. i jus want to confirm that the outrageous 299 was due to the buying of maps and not due to the gps usage. wth. anw, i cancelled my gprs alr. or rather, i deactivated it alr... very scary.

 

today, i got my hp bill for march le. i still have gprs usage of 4 cents! eek! where did that come from????? zzZ. but ok... that was not really much of an issue. the thing is... they charged me $1.25 for MP3 Music Pack! I clearly rmb i cancelled that before my free subscription was up loh! zzZ. how can they jus charge pple bill lidat w/o even checking! wth!

... what had happened, does not matter anymore, cause you cannot change it. what will happen, does matter, cause you can still change it. ( Thank God / Too bad ) things had not turn out to be what they could be. babies are probably the best pple on earth cos they are just born and haben do anything that will cause them trouble or make them worry. as they grow, they will do things... the good ones... and also the wrong ones. sometimes, we made mistakes, at times, even unknowningly. sometimes, we can get away with our mistakes. at times, even unknowingly, as we din even noe we had made the error. however, when the truth is revealed, some time after the incident, we may feel scared, fragile and even feeling of  '劫后余生', (depending on the severity of the error made) that life could have ended there and then but it didn't, and that you could have died there and then even without you knowing it. life as such. remember to count your blessings.

 

today was another usual day for me... well, almost. did another large batch of starting material and tried to salvage my proj... from scratch. haha. this weekend got big match. man u vs liverpool. the original plan was to go brewerks to watch it and enjoy the drinks there. but there are problems. some of us will like to reach early, cos earlier the timing, better the prices of the drinks. but the prices of the food there ain't cheap, no matter the timing. so, it was perferred that we have our dinner outside before goin brewerks. but that will mean we will eat dinner ridiculously early. so, next plan. jus go any coffeeshop, eat dinner, order the drinks there and watch the match. wat a big jump. hahaha.

 

tml singtel investigation team will be calling me (hopefully) to tell me the cause of the 300 over dollars hp bill. friday, that bill will be due. 13 days later, my bill for march will arrive. hopefully, my march hp bill will be normal. hmm...
