Dinner at State Tower in Bangkok

2006-11-16T20:24:00.001+08:00

Dear Yixin, Xh, kenny, Ernee and Ernee's fren,

I have made a reservation at Sirocco restaurant on the 20th december at 7pm. (but haven pay, so can still cancel if you all are not interested) The estimated cost will be S$70+ but it's considered cheap for dinning at the submit of bangkok.

Located high above the earth on the 63rd floor of The Dome at State Tower, Sirocco is the world’s highest al fresco restaurant with a breathtaking view of Bangkok. The restaurant brought with it a breath of fresh air to the dining scene. A sweeping deck dramatically fans out from the floor to the middle of the sky, freezing mid-way in space. Descending onto the deck is a beautifully lit stairway leading to one corner where the multihued Sky Bar takes center-stage.

Thomas Ong found YX's hp and returned it to her. Then from there, they fell in love.

Good Things about Kenny

2006-11-09T16:44:00.000+08:00

Since the birth of my blog, more than 90% of the things I mentioned about Kenny are bad. I have received complaints from Kenny's gf or gf-t0-be. (I dunno). Hence, I am writing this entry to do some justice to kenny. Kenny is actually not as bad I wrote, sometimes I exagerated things a bit to bring in more humours. Kenny is quite a nice guy because....

1) He did not snub yh and me when we asked him to join our EE project group
2) He brought in two super smart ppl to our proj grp
3) He was one of the 3 ppl who gave me a present on my 24th Bday
4) He is not the calculative sort who will keep asking me to pay him back when he buy food or drinks for me.
5) He is a true fren who is willing to lend me 30 dollars to take a cab back home after our settlers game at suntec city.
6) He helped me collect the cheque for eco-chase.
7) He offered to submit the application form for SMRT challenge.
8) He brought me to the red light district in geylang and explained the meaning of different lantern shape.
9) He rented a boat so he can bring us out to sea.
10) He allow me to drive the boat when we are in the open sea, few ppl would do that cos they are scared of kana caught by petrol boat but Kenny is different.. He is a brave guy.
11) He taught me how to play bridge very patiently until I can play better than him.
12) He is also a nice bf, I believe if he ever get attached, he will shower his gf with care, gifts and concern.

.....

2006-11-08T13:18:00.000+08:00

I really dun like ppl who cannot answer my questions directly.

Analogy

I asked a supposedly technical support professional how to do product rule.
(of cos I knoe how to do product rule although I'm not as smart as Yix and Kenny, this is an analogy!!)

Then she threw me a primary school maths textbook which says nothing about product rule. Then to try to make my question look simple, she taught me how to differentiate x.

Rice Table

2006-11-06T15:52:00.000+08:00

Had lunch with Kenny, xh, faith, yuanhong, sc and Wilson today at YIH. I had caipeng from Rice Table. Rice Table Caipeng is an imitation of the authentic Rice Table. This pirated Rice Table sells expensive and awful food which I swear not to eat again. Then we were talking about our Bangkok Trip and I'm glad that yh might be joining us with his gf. So excited adt dinning at dome which is situated at the 65th floor of State tower...

Love Note

2006-11-05T13:25:00.000+08:00

I watched Death Note yesterday. It was really nice show, so I highly reccommend those who haven watched it yet to catch it. I think Light, no I mean Laito, is a cool name and I have decided to call myself laito for this blog entry.

On the way back home from movie, laito saw a pretty babe on mrt but too bad she was taken by the guy beside her. Feeling dejected, Laito walked with his head down and tripped over something. Laito injured his knee because as he fell, his body was moving faster than his knee. Picking himself up, Laito realised that he has tripped over a heart-shaped note book which reads "LOVE NOTE".
Flipping to the first page, it reads...

"The two names whom you write in this book, joined by a connective "AND" will fall in love with each other" (for eg, Shawn and Mary)

"You have to think of the person when you write down the names. In this way, ppl wif the same name will not be affected"

"If you dun state the reason for falling in love with each others, it will be love at first sight at default"

"Only the person whom touches this book will be able to see the love of god who looks as follow"

Laito couldn't believe his luck and he immediately took out his pen and started writing.

"Laito and F.

Laito and F. went for a cruise on a big ship. They were playing "you jump I jump" when the ship crashed into a big octopus in the pirate show. Then Laito and F. ended up floating in the sea for countless days. Thirst began to set in and F. could not take it anymore and resorted to drinking sea water. Laito stopped her and cut his wrist and offered F. 10ml of his blood. Feeling energised now, they started to swim to Sentosa island. Coincidentally, the Survivor production crew was filming Survivor on Sentosa. The producer was fascinated by their adventure and declared them as the winners and gave them 1 million dollars. Laito and F. began to live happily ever after"

Done with his first entry, Laito decided to be nice to his laoda. Laito knows that Kenny likes Fish Leong a lot. so...

"Kenny and Fish Leong

On kenny's 21st Birthday, he went for Fish's concert at Taipei. XH tries to assasinate Fish becaue she was jealous of Kenny's love for Fish. Then, in order to protect Fish, Kenny blocked the bullet with his body. In the end, Fish fell in love with kenny and they lived happily ever after .."

Friday the 3th

2006-11-03T19:01:00.000+08:00

Today, I went to the library to study and I thought I was quite smart to leave my laptop batt at home to lighten my load but I was wrong. I wasn't wrong in thinking that I'm smart but I'm wrong in thinking that other ppl are not stupid. My laptop was shut down twice in a day because two person switched off my power supply. The first person did it unintentionally while the second one did it on purpose because he thought that I had my batt in the laptop. I was kinda annoyed with the first person because she is a stranger and she doesn't look like fiona xie; but I am not annoyed by the second person because he is laoda.

How I have been?

2006-11-01T15:21:00.000+08:00

It's been a really long time since I last blogged, so I decided to post another entry. I have a few things to say...

1) I was quite sad that Mr Lee XY did not even thank me for taking precious time off to write him a Birthday post. Perhaps there is always a barrier between rich ppl and poor ppl, that's why ppl always say rich can never be frens with the poor. Anyway I was just joking, Mr Lee, you can express your belated gratitude on my new tagboard.

2) I was talking with Yixin and Kenny last saturday. Then we were talking abt our children next time. Then we started discussing how our children would gossip about us next time...

MY's child: I hope I can be Auntie Yixin's child cos she lives in a bungalow and can buy me lots of toys. I dun wanna live in a HBD flat with Daddy.

YX's child: What's so good about living in a bungalow? I rather live in HDB flat cos MY kor kor can teach me how to draw cartoon characters and he is so fun to be with. I also like kenny shu shu cos he will bring me into secret compartments in shops to buy games and he will teach me how to pao xiao mei mei. he can also get me msian stamps. : )

Kenny's child: I like being my daddy's child. Although I am only 5 years old, I look like 10 years old. My frens all call my "Lao Da". But I would be happier if I can grow taller. I ask Daddy why ppl call me CSM (class shortest man), then my daddy said it's becos of my mummy.

Faith's child: I think I have nothing to complain abt. Ppl said I'm good-looking because I look like my daddy. They also said I'm very popular with the opposite sex of different race because I inherited my mummy's charm.

A Strawberry Cup Cake

2006-11-01T15:04:00.000+08:00

Haven been blogging for quite some time. The reason for me to blog again lies with the person who gave me this strawberry cupcake. For those who still bothered to browse thru my blog, you should have noticed that you are prompted to give your name and password. Actually, tt was a bug from tagboard and not becos I see myself as a celebrity blogger and wanna collect evtrance fee from readers. That pop-up window took away my motivation to blog cos it's so unglam. Then finally, Yixin, the person who gave me the cupcake, debugged for me last week and she got me a new tagboard as well. That's why she is the very first person to tag "new tagboard".

If you think that this is an ordinary strawberry cupcake, then you are absolutely wrong. This is a cupcake filled with sincerity and care. When I first cut the cake with my fork, I could see the warmness and frenship flowing out but after a second, I realised that I was seeing things. It was just some strawberry jam. Nevertheless, it was the best strawberry cupcake I have ever had in my life, not forgetting to mention the first as well.

Specially delicated to Mr Lee Xianyi!

2006-10-18T17:32:00.000+08:00

Before I say anything, let me wish Mr Lee Happy a belated 24th Birthday.

So who the hell is this Mr Lee?

He is the the guy who appeared in white when I first saw him.
He is my only guy fren who, like me, is afraid of lizards.
He can pick up a grain of rice with his siliver. see illustration.

Pls wait. Image is loading. come back in 5 min time.

His father is 15/99's richest dad.
He is 15/99's richest student.
He is ranked my 3rd best fren, just behind Hiok Por and the stranger who just asked me for direction to NUS enrolment office.
He claims he is the most yandao person in 15/99 but his mother thinks otherwise when she saw his class photo.
He has a few admirers who likes to call him xianyi kor kor.
He claims that he is unattached but I still cant figure out why he is holding another girl's hand, putting his arms around the girl's waist and etc.

Enough of the intro... I hope Mr Lee can have his wishes come true. One of his wish is that Liverpool can win the premiership title. Seriously, if I were him, I rather rather wish for something more realistic, like I wan my room to rain money. Say Mr Lee lives up to 80 yrs old, he would be wasting 56 Bday wishes. I hope he can come to his mind soon.

Lost & Found

2006-10-13T02:27:00.000+08:00

I have lost a lot of things b4, like hp, wallet, laptop, weight, sleep and etc. A few weeks ago, I lost something more important than all those I have lost combined. I was very upset and I went back to the shop to get a replacement. However, I was told that that was the last piece in the whole world. Just when I was abt to resign to losing that, I found it this very moment... For the very first time, I will thank god for this wonderful gift.

My Tagboard is not dead yet

2006-10-06T22:38:00.000+08:00

For a moment when I logged into my blog, I tot I entered the wrong website. There were 3 new messages on my tagboard. I was really touched and in order to show that, I will delicate an entry to these messages. These 3 messages were really special because they came from 2 extraordiary guy. Although the first person, KK is just no more than an aeroplane flyer to most of us, he is extraordinary to xh. Anyway, before I forget, I discovered something from kenny's tag which I would like to share. Kenny will only visit my blog only when he is dying of boredom. But according to wat I knoe abt him, he should be very very busy for this whole semester. The only reason for him to reply to my entry in less than 5 hours must be due to the fact that someone has informed him. I suspect the person is someone very veyr close to him. Am I right, Mr and Mrs Quek? Correct me if I'm wrong k?

Let's move on to the second person. He would need no more introduction from me cos my first few entries were all abt him. Oh yah.. One thing abt him is he promised to host my wedding for free. Jason, if you dun mind, could you please acknowledge tt promise in this entry's comment? Thanx. I have to applaud him his linguistic capability. see.. he is so CORNY.. He put in FAITH x 3 times in a single message and the message still flowed so well. Well done, Jason. Lastly, I wanna tell you that I finally knoe why you told me a blog is useful to pick up girls. haha...

Mid-Autumn Festival at Chinese Garden

2006-10-05T18:46:00.000+08:00

I went to chinese garden to recite poem and admire the moon on Monday. This was not a ordinary Monday. This was the very first day after an ordinary Sunday. This was the day when I went to Queensway to get a Prince (racket i mean). This was the day when I bought a Birthdy cake since Kenny's Bday. And most important of all, this was the day I passed my Driving test 3 yrs ago.

The theme for this yr is 7 wonders of the world. Poor student like me is too poor to fly to Europe to see the real Eiffel Tower, but nvm I can take a train to Chinese Garden to see it.

Faith and I at Champ De Mars

Then Kenny and I headed to Italy.

Let me digress a bit. Kenny is well-known for flying aeroplane. He can fly aeroplanes with all sort of excuses, like "I got tuition leh", "I nid to go home do programming", "I'm very tired", "I cooked green bean soup in the morning, nid to go home to off the gas cooker" and etc. That nite, he has got tuition till 930 and he still turned up at 1010 even though chinese garden is closing at 1130. Being very puzzled, I asked him why he was so on today and he said that he did everything becos of me. I think the real answer lies in the picture below.

This is Xiaohui and Kenny. I suspect xiaohui likes kenny cos her head was leaning on kenny's shoulder. I also suspect Kenny likes Xiaohui becos he is nv so ONZ.

Kenny and I feeding the Pandas
Faith and I by the riverside. Wonder who the photographer was. Cant even follow simple instruction like "Just take the upper body cos I'm carrying the cake." And the worst thing was she couldn't hold the Camera upright. Notice that the photo was a bit (NO. a lot!!!) slant such that I looked like I'm of the same height as Faith.

A rainy day

2006-09-15T16:34:00.000+08:00

It has been raining whole day and I've been sleeping for as long as it has been raining. It's been a long time since I last slept for 12 hours. hee. Slept at 2 woke up at 6 for a while and back to sleep till 2 plus in the afternoon.

I remembered that I had some dreams during my sleep but I cant really remember wat they were abt now. Talking abt dreams, a few frens and I have had this common dream before. That is we dreamt that we were carrying our bolster in the train station/ school/town in pyjamas/sloppy clothes we wore to sleep. Then I would be very embarrassed when ppl walked past me and stared at me.

Enough abt sleep and dreams. after I woke up, the room was very quiet and rather dark cos I pulled down the curtains to block any sunlight that would disturb my sleep the nite before. Then I started to think about the new phase of my life. I'm in my last year of my engineering course and that means I'm gg to start work next year. Engineer is not really my cup of tea , so I probably dun see myself becoming an engineer in future. Currently, it is highly possible that I would end up becoming a teacher. But I will still keep my options open. And I really look forward to working in a year time. I will then be able to start my first perm job n I will be able to chalk up enough capital to realise my dreams....

I dun like......

I dun like to be taken for granted, especially by those who are close to me.
I dun like a smoker as my gf.
I dun like liars.
I dun like to feel unappreciated.
I dun like my cap.
I dun like anyone to compare my cap.

Tennis Balls

2006-09-12T22:36:00.000+08:00

I apologise for the lack of entries for the past few weeks. I dint blog cos there's nothing interesting for the past one week or so. Dun think readers(yah you!) would be interested to know wat time i go to sch, wat topics i taught during tuition, who i played tennis with, who i had dinner with, how many goals i scored in YPL last sunday, wat i dreamt of the night before, who i had beancurd at beancurd city and saw a car's backside kissing another van and spent 10 dollars to buy the plate number and lost my ten dollars etc etc etc..

I bought some tennis balls on Friday.

Then they looked like this on Tuesday

1st row (left to right): Me, YX, Kenny with plaster and Ernee (the winning combi)
2nd row (Left to right): Faith, Tf, XH and YH

Wheelchair Amazing Race 2006

2006-09-04T17:58:00.000+08:00

It was another amazing race on a sunny. This time round, it wasn't 4 people, there were only yixin and me because this was a wheelchair race which involved one person sitting on the wheelchair and the other pushing. Overall this race wasn't as fun and challenging as the Eco-chase cos the route were planned nicely for us, the crossword puzzle tasks were easy and the clues were super easy to decipher. That meant YX has got no chance to put his intellect into use. That explained why we dint come in top 3, but fourth. It was actually quite a blow for seeded players like YX and me not to be in the top 3 but nvm... Actually the aim for joining this race is not to win (Yah, I admit that if it would be better if i could win), doing our part for the disableds were more important than anything else.

This was my first time moving around in a wheelchair in 24 yrs. I realised that I cant control a wheelchair pretty well. I bet I will be able to come in top 3 if there is a wheelchair parking competition. Talking abt parking competition, let me digress a bit, I was the P-plate parking competition champion 3 yrs ago. If you are wondering what sort of competition that was, it was an internal competition organised by kj, jr and me. Obviously, there were only 3 contestants.

Alrit, go back to the main thing. It was really fun when i first wheeled myself around in the wheelchair but it got really tiring after 2 to 3 hours. So imagine those wheelchair users who have got to wheel themself around for most of their lives. hope that everyone would be able to give way to wheelchair users in every aspect. Next time when you try to squeeze past a disabled person, why dun you reflect upon this question? "Is it reasonable for a handicap to give way to a normal person?" If you are in a hurry, you can squeeze your way thru them; if they are in a hurry, what can they do?

The girl in our wheelchair, Theresa, is our follower for the race. The job of a follower is to ensure that the contestants do not cheat as well as to penalise the contestants if they banged into the public. However, we have a very angelic follower in Theresa. Not only did she not penalise us, she ran ard helping us look for answers to clear the tasks. At certain point of time, i wondered whether she was a follower or contestant.

Thanx Theresa!

Eco-chase 2006

2006-08-30T11:34:00.000+08:00

The day started with showers in town which enabled me to do warm-up for the race, which i dun usually do, by running from the Sommerset MRT to cine. Then we went for registration before proceeding to long john to take our breakfast. The chicken sausage toast reccommended by yx was really tasty.

Then the race started at 1045 sharp. 3, 2, 1, Beep! Ernee sprinted to the clue station to collect the clues paper while the rest of us went one corner to wait for him to return. Ernee came back and pass the paper to me. Why? COS I'm the captain lah! Being the captain, I went on to distributing tasks, like passing the paper to yx to decipher the clue and fanning her with the note just to make sure she dun get overheated.

289, 290 ,291 seconds and YX solved most of the 8 clues and even planned out the route for us and here we go!!!

1st Stop (Some environmental building at Newton)
We took a train to newton before Kenny AKA the walking street directory led us to the building. There was this group of xiao di di team in sprinted past us in the station but they slowed down to follow us cos they dint knoe the way. When they saw the building, they sprinted pass us. How despicable they were. Nvm the fact that they reached there first cos YX still managed to clear the station (making up a story with words like car-sharing, bus, train, bicycle) despite giving them a head start.

2nd Stop (Toa Payoh Interchange)
While we were waiting for train, we realised that the despicable team was standing beside us, so we decided to walk to the other side of the platform to shake them off. On reaching the station, I'm glad that I can finally contribute by leading my team to the bus-interchange cos TPY is where my tuition centre is. Then we, or rather YX, had to solve a crossword puzzle before collecting the stamp.

3rd Stop (AMK interchange)
As usual, YX was the one who solved the clue. There was a long queue in submitting the answers, so we decided to let YX run to the bus stop first while we collect the stamp. Then lightning struck! There was some errors in the answers and the 3 of us had a hard time doing corrections. From then on , we only let YX go after we made sure that the answers were 100% correct.

4th Stop (Punggol Park)
We took bus 74 and we met our first friendly team of the race. They were from TP and the conversation went like this.

TP guy1 : We are from TP where are you from?

Me: We are from national.

TP guy2: national JC?

Me: no.. National uni

Tp guys: we are ah seng and ah gay.. you are?

Me: huh? are you sure?

TP guys: yah yah! Really!!

Me: Then I'm van nisterooy!

TP guys: nice to meet you then Van the man. Your team looks zai! can we join your team next time?

Me: Then wat talents do you have to offer? Can you solve clues faster than YX, have better sense of direction than Kenny or run faster than Ernee?

TP guys: .....

Haha... TP ppl if you happen to read this entry, pls dun take it seriously k? just joking abt the van nisterooy part but I'm serious abt the talents thing.

Then we finally reached punggol park where we have to do shutter-walk.

5th Stop (Pasir Ris MRT)
We reached pasir ris MRT and ran all the way to the train. As usual ernee was running ahead of everyone. Then he saw the TP ppl which made him so excited that he turned ard to say hello. Unfortunately, he slipped and fell. See the plaster on his knee below..Poor Ernee.. This checkpoint was abt me putting on an apron and distributing environmental frenly pamphlets.

6th Stop (Marina Bay)
We took a long long train ride to Marina Bay. On the train, a stranger started talking to us.

Stranger: what game are you playing?

Kenny: Something like Amazing Race?

Stranger: Oh.. sounds interesting.. Which sch are you from?

Kenny said NUS before i can say "national" again.

Stranger: Hi! nice to met you.. I'm from Havard!

WOW!!!!
Then we realised that he's SM Wang who is also a president scholar. He's also a legendary (smart and shuai) character which yx has heard from her smart frens in RJ. Realising that this person might probably be the prime minister or president in years to come, we requested to take a pic with him. but he declined cos we were in the MRT... But being very thick-skinned, we just pulled him down to sit with us and get another stranger to take photo for us..

BTW, sorry to digress...
We did some sorting out of thrash at this checkpoint.
Meet the next possible prime minister was probably the highlite of the highlite in the race, so I'm gg to cut everything short after this

7th Stop (Tanjong Pagar Plaza)
Task: Calculation

8th Stop (Fort Canning Hill)
Task: Find some spices plants.

And then back to the finishing point where we were announced as the third team from student category as well as for the whole competition to arrive!!!

There was a free cap in the goodie bag

Third in Eco-Chase Amzing Race!!!

2006-08-28T18:03:00.000+08:00

Waiting for the most most most indispensable member (YX) from our team to send me the race photos and I'll blog abt the details. Stay tune...

PS: Dun ask me for a treat. This 1 k is shared between 4 ppl so each will get 250 only and we have already spent 40 each for celebration and neo-prints(see pic below). Then the remaining 210 is for us to go bangkok together at the end of the year.
There are only 4 ppl in the team, the other 2 are xh and faith. They came down specially to witness the prize-giving ceremony. Really appreciate that...

dun complain, my dear readers...Instead of sharing $210, I have something more valuable for all my frens cum readers. Check out this...

This is my tag number for the race. If you are smart then you will go buy 10 big 10 small for 4d at Singaporepools and you might find yourself 50k richer by Wednesday. But if you end up $20 poorer, dun blame me, blame singaporepools and yourself for being greedy.

Blogging at unusual hours...

2006-08-26T02:16:00.000+08:00

It's 2 plus in the morning. Just reached home after a farewell gethering for vic. Instead of getting some sleep for my 9am to 9pm busy schedule the next day(or I should say today), I suddenly have got an urge to blog. I have an announcement to make. I'm gg to take part in another amazing race competition on Sunday called the eco-chase. This time round, my team has gotten stronger with a swoop for the fittest character of Sesame Street, Ernee. That means our doraemon mascot has been off-loaded becos of a clash with the team captain. The last statement was just a joke, doraemon could'nt take part becos he has got something on.

Hopefully we can win the race with our previous experience, yixin's brain and linguistic ability, Kenny's sense of direction and erneee's fitness. If you are wondering what I have to contribute, I hold the most important appointment in the team that starts with "c", ends with "n" and has a total of 7 alphabets.

We have already planned to celebrate winning the race with steamboat at Bugis. If we dint manage to win, then we will celebrate Kenny's Bday with steamboat at Bugis. Ppl who are attending should be tentatively the race ppl plus doraemon, shareen. Oh yah.. I hope XH can recover soon from URTI and join us for steamboat cos it is gonna kenny's first Bday celebrating with someone whom he thinks is cute.

Monday (210806)

I was tricked by Ms Tan who claimed tt she had something growing in her lung. Yah she is the same Ah tan in the previous entry. Was a bit upset over the prank but I'm glad that she's ok...
That reminds me of the lyrics...

不着痕迹的一阵雨你说那是一群流星　因为是你我会相信

Anyway, I'm not the petty sort of person. I'm the type of person who will forgive but not forget. However, I tend to have poor memory after breakfast but I usually have to skip breakfast becos I seem to be always late for school. (just joking)

Wednesday (230406)

Played risk with Doraemon, YX, kenny and Shareen in central lib. Before the game, I asked everybody, except shareen to be my allies. But the tactic backfired in the game cos they ended up allying with each others to carry out operation mingyeo, which is to drive me to Japan. Haiz.... Then we had BBQ buffet at PGP which I only had 2 spoonful of beehoon, 1 spoonful of fried rice, 1 uncooked vege skewer stick and 1 stick of stay. So we went to Clementi Central for another meal. Then Kenny and YX were talking abt I have the good and boyish kinda look (or rather nerd) while doraemon has got the more paikia look which most girls would like.

Thursday (240806)
Had a great tennis session with MK and Faith, SC, Sebas, XH, Kenny and Ernee. Nice playing with you all. I was very surprise at a comment that SC made. He said I gave him an impression of a playboy.

Huh? I was never a playboy. I would like to re-iterate this point by bringing in 2 witnesses, YX and Kenny.

"Then Kenny and YX were talking abt I have the good and boyish kinda look (or rather nerd) while doraemon has got the more paikia look which most girls would like."

Dun judge a book by its cover.. Although I may be crappy at times, I can be serious when it comes to serious matters, esp r/s matter.

Second piece of evidence to prove that I'm not a playboy will be the fact that I'm still single. 男人不坏, 女人不爱. So if I'm single then I must be a 好男人.

Then I hope we will be playing tennis on next Thursday, so ppl pls make yourself free. I think Cailing, Kassim's SP partner, will be joining us too.

Time to get some rest for the long...

The past few days..

2006-08-22T22:38:00.000+08:00

Monday (14/08/06)
First day of school. Had lectures from 9-11 then I proceeded to clementi to have lunch with zephyr before gg for ktv. There were seven ppl who went for ktv, namely Yixin, Faith, Xiaohui, Sengchiew, Oon yong, Gerrard and me. All of them have got some special traits, like...

SengChiew likes to sing with low keys, so he's always adjusting the key

Gerrard said he cant sing but he ended up singing quite a lot of songs, sometimes can do stunts ..

Oon Yong can sing JJ's songs quite well then YX only allowed him to sing JJ's song for the whole session. Poor thing.

Xiaohui is a very interesting character. She kept stressing that she only wanna go there to be an audience but without anyone knowing, she has already flooded the playlist. I suspect that she might be somehow related to the X-men Magneto cos the remote seemed to be attracted to her palm for most of the time.

Faith can sing well but she would rather entertain the ants than us... Next time tune your amplitude to accomodate us k? Everyone said you can sing.

YX and I , as usual were entertaining everyone with lian ai ping lu..

Then the day ended with tennis with Ernee, Rebec, Sebas and YX.

Tuesday ( 15/08/06)

Supposed to go out with eme for dinner and movie. But unfortunately, Ghost Camp, the movie which Eme wanna watch, was not out yet. Hence we went Sentosa for musical fountain show. Guess we were really down on our luck cos the last show ended the moment we reached. In order to justify the admission fee, we resorted to taking photos with the silent fountains.

Wed ( 16/08/06)

Dinner with Zephyr at Suntec Swenson, followed by red wine session at the sky garden. Thanx Faith for contributing the bottle of red wine.

Thursday and Friday

School and tuitions

Saturday

bash at Siam Supper Club. A big thanx to faith, xh, kassim, Sengchiew and mingkeong for turning up to support yy.

Sunday
yishun premier league soccer in the morning. Then I went home to await my laptop delivery. Yes, I bought new laptop after the old one was stolen for one yr. This time round, I'm gg to carry it around if I go to the washroom. The remaining half of the day was spent with the first person I've given flower to.

Last note:
hope Ms Tan will recover soon from her sickness and get back to her usual self. Take care.. I'll get my christian frens to pray for you if I can find any..

1599 Amazing Race 2

Winner: Kahboon and GG
First Runner-up: Xy and Jac

Third: Me and TF (all thanx to Vic for yielding us for 10 mins)

Engine Orientation 2006

2006-08-16T23:58:00.000+08:00

05/08/06
The first Saturday of August kicked start Engine O-week. My group name is Zephyr which means wind if dint remember wrongly. My fellow councillors consists of:

Lionel

He is the group leader and he certainly deserved that appointment. He cheered from first day to last day without losing his voice. That was really incredible if you take into consideration I was merely mouthing the cheers and I could end up with severe sore throat. OPS!!!

Being the OGL, he was always the target to sabotage. He was the one to get beaten up, taopok, get kissed in his dream by a GUY and get his hair washed by honey etc.

Kaihui

She looks innocent but she is not. She is probably the manipulator of our group cos she always try to psycho less intelligent ppl like Lionel and I to do stoopig things. BTW Lionel was my junior from AJ. Despite the fact the AJ is ranked the top sixth or seventh JC in the nation, we were merely ITE students in the eyes of Kaiuhi and Yixin.

Nearly forgot to mention that Kaohui has got a pair of long, slim and flawless(hmm subjected debate especially after MRT games) legs that most gals would be envious of..

Yixin AKA Worm
As Happening as before. If you wan more info abt her, pls check out the previous entries.

MingKeong
Dint really get a chance to talk much with him but it has been fun working together for the past one week. Looking forward to playing tennis with you one day.

TengYong
A nice fellow who took time out of his busy schedule to join us for the orientation. Thanx for the beer treat on the last day.

We were supposed to be assemble outside LT7A at 0830 to await our freshies. By right, waking up at this hours shouldn't be a problem for me cos I was supposedly spending Friday's nite at NUS. But.. Yixin and I sneaked back home to sleep.. hehe.. Thankfully we still made it in time.

Then our freshies came in one by one and we proceeded to playing icebreaker games. It was then I started to remember the names. There was a few names which were rather easy to remember. For eg,

Xiaohui- she's small in size, so easy to associate her with her name

Cindy- cos I think Cindy wong xinling is very cute

Gerrard- reminds me of steven Gerrard
Gerrard and Hui hui

Faith- I remember she was one of the later ppl to arrive. I started chatting with her and yixin who was sitting beside me said "不要泡小妹妹, get to work leh.." Then I went ...

Then basically, the first day was about playing bonding games, learning mass dance and scavenger hunt.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second day ( 07/09/06)
morning - games at SRC
Afternoon- soom pah (swearing, meaning making promise) session
Night - SP(secret pals) session

SP nite was about blindfolding a couple who are totally strangers. Then they will get to knoe each others thru conversation and some games with their blindfolds on. After that, they will be separated before they remove their blindfolds. The challenge is for them to find their partners in the crowd. To mark the end of the session, the guy will present a stalk of rose to the gal.

Yet Feng missed the SP nite becos she went for Jap classes. Lionel, being the OGL, ordered me to give yet feng a stalk of rose. Of cos I obediently take a stalk and went up to her.

Me: hey do you want a rose?

YF: yah

Me: Then beg me lor..

Anyway I was just joking, so pls dun take it to heart k?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third Day ( 08/09/06)

Flag Day

Fourth Day (10/08/06)

Sentosa Day. I wasnt there till late night so nothing much to blog about.

Fifth Day (11/08/06)

Morning- sponsor talks
Afternoon - 食字路口
Evening - Peagent
Kassim, Eddie and Daniel

Faith and Kenneth were our contestants from Zephyr. They did well and Kennth eventually made it to the final two. Congrats. Looking forward to supporting you on 1st of Sep.

ZEphyr 2006 ROCKS!!!

Revival of MY Blog

2006-08-15T23:46:00.000+08:00

This entry is going to be a very boring and substance-less one.
This is just to inform my frens that I am finally done with orientation, so stay tune for more exciting and ever-interesting entries..

Happy Birthday Tianfa!!

2006-08-03T11:41:00.000+08:00

I wrote this entry to wish one of my best frens, TF a very happy 24th Bday. May his wish come true..

I have know tf for about 8 years. He is a very nice, frenly, sincere, loyal fren. He is the fren who will go all out to help you whenever you need it. Tf has been always standing by me during the worst times of my life. I'm very glad to knoe you as a fren and to be able to knoe you has always been on of the reasons why I dun regret going to AJC.

will be gg to JB with tf then come back singapore for dinner with 15/99 ppl today..

The past few days

2006-08-03T11:10:00.000+08:00

Friday 28th July

Went for dry run for O-week. Then I realised that I'm the oldest assistant counsellor around, but I'm glad that I dun look the oldest. Kinda felt awkward at first, then yx intro me to kaihui and lionel and this very friendly pair of good frens made me more at ease. Then we learnt the mass dance steps. Really looking forward to meeting up with you all this coming Friday.

Tuesday 1st Aug

Went K-lunch with YX and then tennis with Ernee, Ken, Rebec in the late afternoon. Thanx kenny, the weather boy for monitoring the weather condition at NUS for us. BTW, I nid to give some credits to kenny. Kenny is the person who rented the very nice boat in the previous entry at a bargained price. And also, he is the real captain of the boat. Ppl who wan to go boating next time can make frens with him by callinging 973866XX or msn him at plsduncallmekenny@hotmail.XXX. Kenny is a nice guy whom I always make fun of. I would like to offer my most sincere apology to you, Kenny if I do go overboard sometimes. Thanx for the boating trip and a bigger THANX for putting up with my nonsense at times.

After a few tennis sessions, all of us have improved tremendously and probably we can all go apply for value-added awards. For example, Rebec really has got the tennis player seh, especially with her very professionally correct strokes and yx is hitting the air less often.

Next, I reserved a apology to eme. I'm really sorry for flying aeroplance. My tennis session ended rather late, so I really cant make it for the movie. Same goes for Friday's dinner cos of orientation preparation. I really feel obliged to do something for my orientation group since I will be taking a lot of time-offs for tuition thru out the orientation. I promise to organise an outing after orientation.

Mingyeo and the Caribbean!

2006-07-31T11:55:00.000+08:00

30th July Sunday was a special day for Yuanhong, Lindy, Yixin, Shareen, Xianyi, Ernee and I cos this is the first time in our life when we go boating. We met up at Sembawang mrt to get some prawn baits and fishing line before taking a banana cab to Safra Yatch club.latest competitor in the cab industry

YX, me , Ken, XY and Ernee reaching the jetty

Seven members of the crew. Captain MingSparrow is missing!

Captain Mingsparrow embarking on the journey to the west

我一路北, 离开有你季节... Wonder if I can drift with this boat...1st stop: Kelong.. Thanx to the kelong ppl for granting us permission to visit this place. The kelong has got fishes, tonnes of mussels and lobsters. XY, I tot you were supposed to organise a kelong trip within this holiday? Can you be more efficient?

Everyone is eyeing the lobsters below..

2nd Stop: Marina country club. Kenny said can see a lot of celebrities during the weekends, so I brought my camera along to take pic with Fiona xie, but to no avail...

Helping the actual Captain, Kennysparrow to top up petrol. Then we realised that the pump is too slow and we started pouring. We ended up washing our hands with petrol. What a luxurious handwash.. Btw, xy helped out too, his hand was in the photo.

Teabreak at a cafe in Marina Country Club. I ordered blackcurrent, expecting a glass of cool ribina but the waiter served me hot blackcurrent tea. Nvm, thankfully it still tastes nice. We started playing indian poker and as usual, loser has to do forfeit. Also, as usual, the couple tend to be saboed. YH and Lindy were suppose to do indian dance around a table but they ended up playing catching..

3rd Stop: Fishing in the open sea. Xy and I had a hard time assembling the fishing rod. The fishes are all from dean's list. They were smart enough to make my baits disppear within seconds everytime i casted my line. We wasted about 5 prawns without catching any fish.

Then Kenny caught a shark with his fishing line. So I went over to take a pic with him, pretending that I was the one who caught it.

Then we spotted a desserted island...

XY, Kenny, Ernee and I went to conquer the island. The person without a life jacket was xy and he can swim much faster than us with only one hand cos he was holding my camera on the other hand.

Lonely island here we come..

We realised that the island is more corney then lonely

And I decided to change it to "MY island"

N we found a dinosaur fossil on MY island..

4 survivors back at the boat

On the way back...The most compatible couple of the year goes to.....

2006-07-27T15:15:00.000+08:00

After 11 weeks and 4 days, I'm approaching the end of my internship. I am from the Equipment Innovation Department(EID) but ironically, it is the Product Innovation Department ppl who threw a farewell party for me. Thanx Jenny, Ram, Peter, Zelia, Adrian, Kianfei, Desmond, Zixiang, Weini, Peiyun, Nelly and Jianxiang.

My fellow colleagues...

Lots of food...

Desmond, Kianfei and Zelia...

Desmond and I trying to act gay...

Then we decided to play table soccer and the loser has gotta drink this toxicated potion comprising whipped potato, coslaw, cheese powder, pepper, popcorn chicken, tea etc. Desmond even used a drumstick bone to stir it... eee....

The loser of the match will have to drink the potion...

I even have got a farewell present before I leave.. Nice star with a "M for Mingyeo" keychain...

I really had fun.. Thanx PID ppl!

16 Things I wanna do after my intership!

2006-07-27T12:08:00.000+08:00

1) I wanna go boating on Sunday. Ppl pls meet at Sembawang MRT station at 1240 sharp. We will be taking a cab to Safra sea sports club. XY pls bring your fishing, hopefully we can get a mermaid in open sea. Ernee pls bring your cashflow board game and everyone pls bring along a calculator for the cashflow game. I'll bring my risk.

Things to bring:
extra set of clothings, suntan lotion, sunglass to act cool.

2) I wanna go JB with kenny, Yixin, Yuanhong, Shareen and Ernee but this wont come true cos yuanhong and shareen cannot make it. Nvm the remaining 4, including me, can still go on our own. I wanna pit my skills against Kenny in "Go-karting", go shopping in city square SEED and have KTV buffet.

3) I wanna celebrate my best fren(TF)'s Bday on the 3rd of August. He has always been there for me during ups and downs since JC's time. I really appreciate that. But there is no way I'm gg to get for you the oto uzap cos it's out of our budget. 15/99 ppl pls make your next thursday free!!

4) I wanna play 15/99 amazing race again. Can we just change Survivor to Amazing Race, JT? I doubt we can ever get enough ppl from our class to participate in survivor. This time I will partner with yixin.

5) I wanna go clubbing with kenny and co again. This time, we have to make sure that Yixin doesn't get drunk again. Else, we will be wasting our entrance fee again.

6) I wanna go dinner with em and co. Hopefully, I can psycho Pea into psychoing her sis to get me a new blog skin. I doubt it will be too difficult cos pretty sisters are usually easygoing, nice to everybody, especially nice simple guy...

7) I wanna go rollerblading or ice-skating with whoever is free.

8) I wanna have lunch at Billybomber cos I have a one for one voucher valid only during lunch time.

9) I wanna go mind cafe to play boardgames with GG and co.

10) I wanna go wakeboarding, preferable by speed boat. Dun really like cable ski.

11) I wanna go for windsurfing. I have a cert but I cant surf well. Anyone keen?

12) I wanna watch 龙虎门. This has been one of my favourite comic since I was young.

13) I wanna get Daxiong and Ji An from the Doraemon Capsule machine, so I can have a complete set of the series.

14) I wanna play tennis with yixin, kenny, ernee and hopefully yuanhong and Shareen every week.

15) I wanna buy a pair of street soccer boots for this sunday's soccer session. My current pair has worn out.

16) I wanna find a partner who will appreciate me for who I am and also watever things I do for her...

THE SMRT CHALLENGE FINAL REPORT

2006-07-25T13:36:00.000+08:00

Sunday 23/07/06

Woke up at 725 and meet up with kenny, yuanhong and yixin at 815 for SRMT challenge. On reaching, we changed into our "armour" and SRMT challenge HERE WE COME!!.

Browsing thru my fellow competitors to identify any possible potential threats... Sad to say, visually, I couldn't find one to match yixin's intellect, kenny's sense of direction, yuanhong's refreshing look and my juggling skills. It's getting boring, so I've decided to take a photo with green mascot.

Doesnt this creature looks like an AMK secondary school student?

Then I was putting my camera skill to good use to pretend to take the SMRT signboard but focus on something else.I realised she is yixin fren so I can 光明正大 take photo. Btw, they are members of a band hired by SRMT to play SAMBA musics. Wonder if their band requires someone to play recorder?

Hidding in the dark alley to discuss our tactics..One last pic before we flag off...

At 10am sharp, the challenge was flagged off by this lady from SMRT management. Sorry Ms flag-off, I admit I wasn't paying attention to your speech cos I was too engrossed with Samba music.

Without wasting any time, the 3 smarties started to decipher the codes.

Kenny pretending to contribute...

With yixin's brain and the help of yixin's best fren who standby the computer and Yuanhong's fren who spotted the SMRT organiser loitering at expo, we finally deciphered all the 8 clues.

1st Checkpoint - Bishan Depot

We took a train there and ran all the way the the depot only to find no checkpoint. Then we went to Bishan stadium to find the the checkpoint was for the adult category but thankfully the station master directed us to go back to Bishan MRT to take a shutter bus to the MRT depot. YAH! We came back to square one after running around for 1 hour.

This is where we waited for our shutter bus...

At the Depot...

On reaching the station, Kenny was required to perform the task of opening the emergency exit of a stationary MRT train.

2nd checkpoint - Bukit Panjang LRT

Took a train to the west. Feeling a bit dejected at the moment cos we made a bad start. Nvm we will still try our best to complete the race. Winning is only secondary.

Arrived at the second checkpoint where I skipped for 10 times and also did a minor treasure hunt.

3rd checkpoint - Expo.

The clue reads "Martians sighted in the east. Alight here to battle them!"

We were not sure whether it was referring to Airport or Expo but by gut feeling we chose Expo. Thankfully we got the right answer and that really boosted our morales.

Yuanhong and I clamped a tennis ball with our foreheads and walked a distance of 10m. Yixin, with her excellent linguistic capability solved a crossword puzzle within seconds.

Motivated after the expo checkpoint..

TURNING POINT

On the way to the next station, we reached the turning point of the race. We met this group of SCGS girls who taught us how to get merit points by doing three of the followings:

1) holding on to the handrail of the escalator

2) Giving up seats for the needies

3) Giving way to alighting passengers

Since we cant beat the competitors in term of speed, we decided to chalked up merits points. One merit point will deduct 5 minutes off our final timing.

4th checkpoint - New water Plant

Took a shuttle bus into the plant from Tanah Merah MRT.

Yixin was blindfoled and guided by the three of us to a computer screen to answer some simple questions on new water plant. Then we had to perform a very simple task on an SMRT cab.

New water plant...

5th checkpoint - Malay Heritage Centre

Was required to draw a SMRT courtesy poster. With my artistic talent, I took 30 seconds to come out with a poster while other groups took an average of 10 minutes. Then we had wear sarongs and kick the chapteh for 3 times.

6th checkpoint - Raffles Place MRT

Did a shutter run in a record timing of 24.98 seconds.

7th checkpoint - Keppel Tower

Yuanhong climbed up the rock climbing wall in seconds. I was pestering the station master for merit points and before I even realise, Yuanhong was already at the top.

Last checkpoint - Orchard skate park

Tot we were supposed to do some skating. Btw, I'm quite good at rollerblading, meaning I wont fall if I dun try to do those high risk stunts. Anyway, this station was abt dribbling a soccer ball around a row of cones. Yuanhong once again finished the task in split seconds, giving me no time to get the station master's number. Damn it!

Then we sprinted all the way back to the finishing line. We reached at 4 minutes past four and our timing was 6hr 4 min. BUT with those courtesy pictures shown above, we accumulated 20 merit points which means we can minus for 100 minutes. Hence our timing was 4hr and 24 minutes.

Yixin, me, pedestrain A, pedetrain B, yuanhong and kenny

Robin Leong announcing the results...

RESULTS.....

10th Team - timing 5 hr 50 min!

Yeah!!! We were so excited cos we will be in the top ten with our timing...

Then ...

4th team - 5 hr 10 min!

Yeah!! We are the top 3 teams!!!

2nd team - 4 hr 50 min

Yeah!! We will be the champion... Yixin and yuanhong were combing their hair at that instant cos they wanna look good on stage. I was getting ready my camera.

Then

The winner is SA XX(NOT my team), with a timing of 4hr 39 minutes.

WTH !!!

We were dam bloody shocked. After we checked it out ith the organiser, we found that though we have got the best timing, we were disqualified for coming in 4 minutes late. To be fair to them, they did mention that we have to come back by 4...

NVM Yixin, Yuanhong and Kenny...

In my heart,

WE ARE ALWAYS THE CHAMPION!!

in 2007,

WE WILL BE THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION!!!

9 more hours to the big race

2006-07-23T01:09:00.000+08:00

Finally the biggest event for lamebodee is up in abt 600 minutes time. Have been looking forward to it for the past few weeks. Plan to sleep early tonight so I will be fully energised for the race tomolo but JR spoilt my plan by jioing me to play majong. Anyway I regret playing majong cos I wasted 5 hours of my valuable time losing money plus I gotta forgo my beauty sleep which will indirectly jeopardise my chance of winning the race.

As the only team from NUS, we are indirectly representing NUS. Hopefully if we do win, dean will make fren with us. haha..

Some messages for ppl who were present at Eme's Bday

To eme,
It's so polite of you to thank me so many times(I think got 10 times) for attending your party, the present etc. Anyway I've enjoyed myself by making a lot of frens. It was really fun! Thanx a million too..

To Jason,
I made a mistake in my previous entry. Jason did not offer to help linnette drink her glass of red wine in exchange of her number. I was the one who suggested the idea and what Jason did was to obediently obey. Pls remember that you promise to host my wedding for free!

To Linette,
You should really consider JC.. He's a nice person, probably the nicest of all in my JC class if you exclude me. Also also, he's nice to cuddle (I have not cuddle him b4 but i can see that), you can save all your money on soft toys.

To Alicia,
Thanx for the compliment as well as browsing thru my blog...

To Huishan,
If you are reading my blog, I'm sorry that I left you out of the drawing. It was really unintentional.. then when I realised that, I've got no more space in the paper to include you.

EME's 21st Bday!

2006-07-21T10:23:00.000+08:00

Me: will you go on a date with him?

Lyn: NO! unless he loses weight.

New Talent, New Toothbrush and New Haircut

2006-07-20T10:52:00.000+08:00

NEW TALENT

When I was over at Boon's place last saturday, he shared with me his new hobby, ie juggling. He lent me 3 small soccer balls (size of a tennis ball) and I tried to juggle with the online juggling guide, but to no avail. Then, I found that the problem doesn't lie with me but the juggling ball, hence I've decided to make my(mingyeo) juggling balls.

Materials needed:
normal balloons, beans or barley, depending on which is cheaper.

Step 1 to 4:

DA Dang! MY juggling balls...

In 30 min, I learnt to juggle with 2 balls; in the next 30 min I learnt to juggling with 3 balls; in 1 hour, I have a new talent.

NEW TOOTHBRUSH

I was having gum infection for the past few days, so I tot that it must be due to my aging aquafresh toothbrush. Actually planned to get a oral-B one but I have spent all my money on MY juggling balls, so I gotta DIY.

sticking the bristles one by one onto the body using superglue.

YEAH!! I like my new toothbrush!

NEW HAIRCUT

Due to the previous disappointing haircut at kimage, I went back to Crosshair to look for Alvin.

Alvin is always reliable when i wan a neat haircut.

When does a pig salute?

Meet up with Emcee and his sis, XY, JT and meihui for movie at Suntec. I chose Suntec because I nid to collect invitation card from eme. Then xy started a conversation about Emcee.

Before that, let me recap what Emcee said to Eme last week.

About a week ago on my tagboard,

Eme:
I think everyone on earth is beautiful.

Emcee replied:
I totally respect you for having this kinda thinking. Allow me to salute you!

Let's go back to the current conversation now.

Xy: did you all knoe what JC(Emcee) did? He went to salute a FEMALE stranger for the sake of cheehonging. What's your pride JC??

*Everybody started to laugh.. hahahahaha

Xy went a step further and recited the salute command "homat ker kanan homat!", followed by salute actions.

*Laughters became louder

It was really funny. If you cant picture that, I can help with my illustrations.

A lonely Monday

2006-07-17T14:05:00.000+08:00

First thing I did when I reached office was to log into MSN. I found that I seem to have very few frens online, probably that was due to the absence of Emcee. I dint realise till today that Emcee has already integrated into my life. Life without him seems so empty and pointless. Haiz... I guess it's really time for me to get a dog now.

Monday to Thursday

2006-07-14T10:49:00.000+08:00

Monday

went to visit boon at CGH with GG, Tf, JC, XY, JT, Ade. We plan to buy boon some fruits but we ended in nhis ward empty handed, not to mention that we even finished up the packet of strawberries that his frens bought for him. His frens also bought dragon fruit for him. I was wonder where is he going to get a knife to cut the fruit. Even if he managed to get one, how is he going to cut the fruit with just one hand?

Anyway, hope to see boon recovering from his fractured wrist.

Tuesday

Boon was discharged!! Yeah!

Went for tennis with XY, worm, poky, ernee, and ying. I see my tennis skills improving day by day. I remember while I was 8 yrs old, a fortune teller told me that I'm a raw diamond. When I asked him wat he was talking about, he said he cannot reveal the heaven's secret. After 16 yrs, I finally solved the riddle. He was implying that I have talent in tennis, so I just need a bit of polishing to upgrade to a diamond which is equivalent to the next federer. Since I dun have a christian name, I shall consider calling myself roderick Oh.

Wednesday

Played majong with JR, Melvin and Wenlong at my place. Usually, we play 20-40 cents but we up the stakes to 50cents -1 dollars. Was quite surprised that I managed to keep myself awake for the whole 2 rounds. Probably it's becos I knoe I wont like the idea of eating plain bread for the rest of the week if I lose my allowance.. haha.. In the end, Wenlong 1 eat 3. JR lost 29, Melvin lost 19, I lost 8. haiz..

Thursday

Went for dinner with josephine and her frens at PS swensen. Nice to knoe Joyce, Jack and Sharon. Oh yah..if you are thinking of getting apple or banana crumple for dessert at swenson next time, I suggest you try out the new "White Chocolate Blondie" which is also served on hot plate. Then joyce was brainstorming for her "work attitude and happy working" presentation and jo came out with a sms that reads:

Desserts is the reversal of Stressed

I am always WALKING on earth

2006-07-11T11:19:00.000+08:00

This entry is written to defend myself against Emcee's claim that I have been floating on air for the past few days after Eme's COMPLIMENT.

Emcee's claim
emcee: after eme's comment, eme can you do us a favour and bring MY back down from space.. he is still floating about from your compliment

I , S82*****I, NS 3SG Oh Ming Yeo, claim that I could never have been floating on air for the past few days because of the following reasons.

1) I am a matter which has a mass. All masses on earth experience a gravitational force which can be calculated by GMm/R^2. But according to Boyles's law, if the density of an object is lesser than that of the air, the object will experience an upthrust force which enables it to float up the air. I declare that my density is greater than that of air, so there is no way in which I can float on air.

2)
Eme's Comment
Eme's comment was " haha wau liaoo ming yeo don be so low esteem leh...people say u shuai leh...haha u are not that bad like mark lee la..wau liaoo trust me! ya =p"

Note that Eme's COMPLIMENT was that I'm better looking than Mark.

What happened was...

We(including Emcee) were having a chat at the foodcourt after visiting boon from the hospital.

Me to Ade: hey! someone commented that that I have low self-esteem leh...

Ade: Are you sure? you have super high esteem lor.. that person obviously does not knoe you well enough..

I admit that I also told worm the same thing and she gave the same reply in an msn conversation including Emcee.

Let's go back to the debate...

"Mingyeo has low self-esteem" is a NEGATIVE comment.
"Mingyeo is better looking than Mark" is a compliment.

i) I only told my Ade and worm that Eme made a negative comment abt me but Emcee claims that that was a compliment.

ii) There is nothing to be happy about being labelled a low self-esteem person, not to mention floating on the air over it, according to Emcee's claim.

To summarise, if Emcee's claim is true, then I must be an idiot to be floating on air over a negative comment.

PS to EME: Thanx for the tag msg as well as the compliment. Pls dun take to heart abt the "low self-esteem" stuff that I mentioned in this entry. I just wanna clarify what Emcee said abt me.

What to buy for 4D?

2006-07-10T11:51:00.000+08:00

haven been blogging the past 4 days. 4 days without an entry is quite unusual for me cos I started with 2 entries a day to 1 entry a day to 1 entry every two day. The drop in the frequency is due to the fact that that I'm having been working harder and harder over the weeks to justify the $540 that the coy is paying me.

I was on an malaysian cab with poky yesterday. Then we started to tok about 4D.

Poky: wow lao got accident! Quickly copy down the number to buy 4D..

Me: huh? like tt very bad leh.. wat if you win then the ghost comes back to haunt you?

Poky: wont lah.. everybody is doing that.. have you ever wondered why ppl like to crowd around when someone is going to jump?

Worm: to help lay matresses huh?

Poky: no lah.. they are observing which floor that person is jumping from and also whether the eyes are closed or opened when he lands. Says... if he jumps from 19 floor and his eyes are open, you buy 1900; if his eyes are closed, you buy 1911.

Worm, doraemon and I: ......

PS: This is just a joke and is not true. Pls do not take it to heart.

Drunk or Sober??

2006-07-06T10:21:00.000+08:00

Poky, worm, doraemon and I went to Zouk to celebrate our acceptance for the SMRT Challenge yesterday. It was a new experience cos Poky and I almost got drunk, worm got drunk and doraemon took a midnite cab down from work to see worm drunk.

It all started with the 1-1 offer between 11-12 when we got two jugs of long island tea. We played the guess number game which Poky is relatively better than us. That explained why worm ,who was after Poky, kept drinking and drinking until she went drunk.

Then we helped her to the coffeeshop opp to have a cup of warm water. Poky was helping her but she claimed that she was sober and dint need any help. So Poky asked her some questions to test her sober-ness.

Poky: Who's the most shuai in our engineering economy project grp?

Worm: Mingyeo lor..

Doraemon: She's completely drunk... She's toking nonsense.. or maybe I think she meant it only for this point of time cos I'm wearing spectacles and dint style my hair..

Poky: I totally agree tt's rubbish... Tt's equivalent to saying Mark Lee is more shuai than Andy Lau or rather you (looking at doraemon) are more shuai than me..

Me: No... I think that she's perfectly fine...

Then after 1.5 hours at the prata shop, worm is finally sober. Then we went in again to justify the 20 dollars we paid. Afer that, worm, doraemon and I shared a cab back. Worm was meeting her fren at AMK then..

Worm: I'm metting P**** for soccer match.

Doraemon: Are you sure tt guy is trustworthy?

Worm: Yah.. definitely more trustworthy than You all

Me: Huh? Then he must be a gay...

Survival Sentosa 15/99

2006-07-05T15:58:00.000+08:00

Received a mail from Jason Tan last week and it read...

"Hi everyone, I'm officially back from NZ. And to continue where I left off after the inaugural reality game Amazing Race we had last time, I intend to organise Survivor 15/99 in the very near future. I am considering doing it over 2D1N on sentosa. Please respond as to whether you are interested. It will be fun to have something different over our usual chalet plans."

If there's any doubts, JT was refering to the 15/99 (AJC class in 1999) Amazing Race held last year. There were 7 groups of two participating so each group paid 10 dollars and winning group(JT's gf grp) took all. My partner was TF and we came in third.

All those are history, let's get back to the oncoming SURVIVAL contest.

By the way, there is a lack of participants. Hence I urged those 15/99 ppl who have not been turning up for class outings to join. Currently, we have only JC, XY, ME, GG, KB. I hope ppl like Daryl, Tf, Boon, Juan, Ade, Christina, Lihui, Jenny, jun, Peiyi, Rouping, Meiling can sign up for it. Oh yah, last but not least Baozhen.

Although the contest is not confirmed yet, JC and I were already talking abt tactics and strategies over the MSN this morning. First of all, Let's look at the analysis of all the participants who has confirmed their attendence.

GG:
Strengths
smart, physically big so can block ppl from overtaking, lucky, determined

Weakness
cannot run fast, cannot swim first, cannot count

Others
I delicate an exclusive entry for her on her Bday.
(Note that I did tt out of frenship, so dun nid to feel obliged to vote for me if I ever reach the final two.)

Mr Lee XY:
Strengths
very smart, physically strong, can swim as fast as I run, can run as fast as I drive

Weakness
scared of lizards

Others
I fetched him from his house, drove him to queensway and droped him off at Holland V last thursday.
(Note that I did tt out of frenship, so dun nid to feel obliged to vote for me if I ever reach the final two.)

KB AKA GG's BF
Strength
very very smart, Good sense of direction, basically good in everything

Weakness
GG

Others
I delicate an exclusive entry for his GF on her Bday.
(Note that I did tt out of frenship, so dun nid to feel obliged to vote for me if I ever reach the final two.)

JC
Strength
Very very very smart, like to act pig eat tiger, likes to manipulate others. See extract below

"Hmm... i was thinking.. the list of pple most probable of emerging as survivor is..
1. Mingyeo
2. xianyi
3. gg "

He's trying to protray these ppl as the strongest participants while making himself to be the weakest link. Wat a cunning move.

Weakness
No

Mingyeo
Strengths
Loyal to frens, Truthful, will nv betray a fren

Weakness
Not smart, not cunning

Tactics and Strategies will be discussed when there are enough participants to hold the contest.

We Got Selected for SMRT Challenge!

2006-07-05T10:14:00.000+08:00

I would like to announce that my team, probably the strongest so far, has been selected for the SMRT Challenge on 23/7. So excited over it that worm and I were jumping around when we saw the confirmation mail. Now, I see a bright career path in front of me instead of being a dark, gloomy, boring, lifeless engineer.

YES!!! NOW I can see my my team growing into glowing stars (famous celebrities I mean)...

I CAN SEE....

1) Poky will feature in "Gong Fu 2" where he will act as a poor Thai boy who was always being bullied by the Ah Bengs. Then one day, he was pushed down a deep valley and he survived the fall and chanced upon a formiable secret martial art manual called "Strawberry Poky super Palm". The pre-requisite of this skill is for the person who's learning is to first castrate himself. As expected Poky hesitated untill he tried out the latest LOREAL Double Extension Carbon BLack mascara did he realise that it's good to be a gal.

Then he mastered the skills, defeated the Ah Bengs and won the Ms Thailand pagent.

2) Doraemon(Yuanhong) will create a new cartoon character that will eclipse Digimon, Gundam, Mickey Mouse etc. AND that is "DoraeHONG"!!! DoraeHONG will created in 2016 by yh after he finishing serving his 10 yrs jail sentence for infringing patent rights when he acted in a Singapore made Doraemon drama.

DoraeHONG is a kind hearted pig. Unfortuately, one day when doraeHONG was on his way to donate blood for the PIG BLOOD CAKE Store in Taipei, he was bitten by a super venomous spider. Due to the intoxication, he turned blue but to his delight, he found that he could now cast spider web. With his new found power, he began to uphold justice by protecting the taiwan president election candicates (in case HE get shot again) and also the celebrities for getting shot by the paparazzi.

Usually, heroes dun have good endings and DoraeHONG proved that right once again. On the 11th April 2017, when DoraeHONG was protecting Jay Chou, Jay's wife (Jolin) suddenly had a craving for pig organ soup.

DoraeHONG's last word was

"With great Power comes great food!!"

3) Since worm likes JJ a lot, she shall act in a drama with JJ. Then celebrities usually start dating after filming together. However, this type of relationship wont last long. I think JJ will initiate a breakup with the reason "人虫殊途".

4) After I get famous, I wanna be a soccerstar. First of all I think I need to get a superstar name... still considering between ShevMINGko and RonaldinYEO.. any suggestions anyone?

Marche's Dinner with Army Frens

2006-07-03T11:18:00.000+08:00

One of my best pal in army days, Reza, is back from Aussie for holiday. He's currently styling a pony tail. (quite long.. think can touch the floor in another few yrs time.) The most surprising was he has finally learnt how to take a bus and MRT. For your info, for twenty-two years during his stay in Singapore before he flew over to aussie, he had been travelling ONLY strictly by cabs. Still remember the first time he finally agreed to take bus with me was after I spent 30 minutes convincing him that bus is much cheaper but only slightly slower. Then I had to guide him step by step as to how to slot in the concession card.

After my tuition, I met him up at Toa Poyah MRT station. I was quite glad to see him cos it has been a while since we last met but the rest of the MRT passengers do not seem to share my joyous mood. I guess, to those terrified passengers, Reza looks like a teliban member who's going to bomb the train. Check out his pic.

We reached there earlier thant the rest n I went to say hi to emelind who was working there. Thanx Emeling for inviting me to her Bday party though we had not known each other for long.
Then we met up with Weizhong, and 2 vincents at Marche. Both vincents were from hong ko ng so I assumed vincent to be a very popular christian name in Hong Kong. But that isn't right. Why is Andy Lau not called Vincent Lau or Nicolas Tse not called Vincent Tse?

After dinner, we proceeded to clark quay to watch the match between England and Portugal. It was fully packed and thank god Jack recommended us to this thai pub. The ambience was not bad. There's a live Thai band performing. Not very entertaining audio-wise cos I dunn wat they are singing but they did entertain me visually. The gals are chio and they danced around a pole. Too bad my camera batt went flat, so no pic.. haiz..

Dr Nic joined us just before the match started. He is still as nice as before as he treated us to drinks. I have worked with 3 doctors in my NS days. One of them is the sort to throw his subordinates to infront of him to help him shield all the bullets while the other 2, Dr Nic and Dr Yeo, would do the reverse. So I conclude that 66% of the Singapore Docs are nice guys.

Happy Birthday to Shareen..

2006-06-30T11:15:00.000+08:00

Let me do an intro for Shareen. She is brain for my engineering economy project group which consists of worm, doraemon, poky and me. She's a smart and nice gal.

How smart?

Hard to explain... ermm.. maybe you can check out the MSN project meeting conversation...

*Shareen was late, so the rest of us was waiting for her... then..

worm: so shall we start now?

me: but brain is not here, who's gg to chair the meeting?

doraemon: good question... let's wait for her. She's indispensable..

Poky: So I fetch you at 2am later then we go west coast eat Mac play see-saw?

*Huh? what is Poky talking about?

Poky: OPs! wrong window... That's for my gan mei mei..

*Then Shareen finally arrived after 10 minutes..

Shareen: Let's do the tornado analysis, spider diagram and monte carlos analysis...

*wow lao! simi lai eh?

Me: hmm... my engineering economy knowledge is only up till chapter 5, is there any easier tasks that I can help?

Shareen: then I will do it.. can you help to print out the report, bind it, walk to the prof's office and hand up to him?

PS: I exagerated the conversation to make it more hilarious.. it's only 75% percent true cos I did more than just handing up the report. Therefore, I think I'm slightly better then a 寄生虫 AKA free-rider. haha..

Yest was Shareen's Bday. We celebrated for her at Crown Prince Swenson. We were talking abt the SMRT contest.

Shareen and her Bday gift

Worm with Retro white hairband (cannot see) and Christmas earrings

The 3 jishengchoongs...

Me: If only you could come back from Germany two weeks earlier... Then you can join us for the SMRT contest to boost our chances of wining..

Poky AKA walking directory: Hmm... Mr Oh, but we have already got 4 ppl just nice rit..

Me: We can replace the member with the least contribution.

Poky: then who issit?

Me: hmm let me think.. I think I can easily get a street directory with 7 dollars..

Poky: ... ...

To Poky: I'm just joking.. you are an indispensable member to our team as well...

We were toking abt gg for a tour but Shareen is running low on cash after her Germany Trip. Hence we vowed to win the contest, so we can sponsor her for the tour.. *So touching rit?

Thanx Jason Chen AKA Emcee

2006-06-27T20:58:00.000+08:00

forgot to turn off the warning light this morning after I parked the car. Then I realised that the battery was flat when I was about to go home. Then my Superman, Emcee, came to my rescue... Thanx for pushing the car for me...

Also thanx the NTU professor and the Mazda speed demon uncle for lending a hand as well..

Happy Birthday to GG!!!

2006-06-27T09:13:00.000+08:00

SMRT Contest Part 2: ROAD TO STARDOM

2006-06-23T10:54:00.000+08:00

I received a SMS from Poky yesterday which says:

"I've submitted the SMRT application form! We are going to shoot to Fame!!"

Since the day we decided to take part in the contest, Poky and I have been discussing about the future career with the mediacorps. Wait! Let me explain the link between the contest and Fame... Suppose if we win the contest(which we will most like do), we will gain tv coverage hopefully, then the mediacorps producers will talent-spot us and give us a contract and we can all shoot to fame.

These are wat we're gonna do if the day comes....

Poky

He said he wanna appear in variety shows as special guest. Usually, these guests have to perform an item. Since he cant sing like Chen Weiliang, cant act like Tony Leung and dun look like Chen Guan Xi, I suggest he try to perform something funny as he's gifted with a comedian face. Mark Lee is getting old, so Poky can take over him.

Poky is a newcomer, so he nids to capture the attention of the audience to have any chance of making it big. The primary criteria of a comdian is to make the audience laugh, so his virgin appearance is very important.

(Pls note that other than being funny, lame means disabled)

I suggest he walk out with a pair of crutches and say out loud,

"I am the Lame King! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Who can be more lame than me!!!???"

At this time, if I'm not wrong, he should have a few rotten eggs and cabbages thrown at him. If there's any doubt on where the eggs are gg to come from, they are gg to come from me, the rotten eggs IC. Dun get me wrong! I'm not a bad person sabotaging Poky.. Read on!

Poky will put a crocroach, nickname “小强”，in his pocket in advance and the main task of me is actually to squash the crocroach with the eggs. As known, all comedian must have a crocroach as pet and it must be called 小强. Dun believe? look at stephen chow.

Then Poke will suddenly kneel down, break down in tears, hold 小强 between his thumb and index finger and cry out,

"小强, 你不能死啊！我和你相依为命几十年，你为么麽就这样走了。如今要我白发人送黑发，人世间的悲痛莫过于此。。。如果非要在这份亲情上加一个期限，我愿是一万年。。。。”

(By the way, dun under-rate this qoute, this is the famous Stephen Chow's qoute tt makes him shoot to fame)

By this time, the audience should either laugh till or touched till hey tear... Congrats Poky! You have made a excellent start to your comedian career.

SMRT Contest

2006-06-22T10:16:00.000+08:00

Just registered for the SMRT contest(held on 23rd July) which I suppose is something similar to the amazing race. Will be taking part with Poky, worm and doraemon, so we can join the school category.(guess we will be the oldest students there haha.) Sorry to Tf and Juan for rejecting your offer, nvm you all still have ade. Although ade cant really run, count, think and has got no sense of direction, she has a cute face that every kid will like. Hence she can be your team's mascot as shown below!

Back to the contest, analysis done by me shows that our team, which we might decide to call Doraemon Team, has very high chance of winning.

Check out the analysis!

We've got..........

1)Worm AKA smartie

She will be the deputy brain in charge of solving riddles. By the way, the officicial brain is Shareen but unfortunately, she is not in S'pore at the moment, so we have to make do with worm. Nonetheless, worm is still the smartest in our group. AND she is REALLY smart considering she can top the smart chart even with the existence of the intellectual + multi-lingual + multi-talented ME!! haha.. Try not to doubt my words unless you scored better than 3 straight As for your A' level.(GG, you might wanna give it a second tot if you are thinking of giving negative comments yet again) I'll also try not to doubt worm cos I dint score 7 distinctions for my A'.

2) Poky (Now then I realised that I've been spelling Pocky wrongly all along.. nvm I will continue to stick to Poky)

He will inject a sense of Direction to our team. As mentioned before, he is a walking street directory, so he's in charge to guiding us to the next destination in the shortest time. And most importantly, he can boost the average height of the group. haha.. So for clues that are hung at a height greater than 1.70, we depend on you POKY...

3) Doraemon

With his refreshing looks, hope he can memorise and distract some xiao mei mei teams on the way. Not to forget to empahsize, he is really refreshing, taking into consideration that he can top the refreshing chart despite my existence. Hence, he will be our mascot...

4) Me (LEADER)
Can speak Madarin, English, Hokkien, Jap, Korean. I'm intellectual, humorous, kind-hearted, sweet, very nice, gentleman, talented in drawings, talented in musical instructment like recorder, talented in playing computer golf etc.. I guess I would better stop cos I'll take one whole day to list all. If you are observant enough, you will realise that there is no direct link between my qualities and the contest. This means that I have got nothing to contribute to the team. Once again, I am the parasite (寄生虫）...haha

After the analysis, everybody should understand how strong a team we are. If you stil dun, I can give you some analogy. My team is like Brazil of World Cup, Federer of Tennis, Tiger Woods of Golf, Alonso of F1 Racing, Jay Chou of Taiwan, MY of 15/99..

Tuesday's Blue

2006-06-22T09:17:00.000+08:00

I started the second working day of the week with Monday's Blue's sworn brother (All the weekdays are blue for me except Friday). I'm beginning to appreciate the tutorials and lecture days cos if I dun feel like going, I can skip. haha.. Like wat my students say "Teacher, I do what I like becos I am paying you. I am your Boss." Kids nowaday are really spoiled.

My day got worse when I was was stuck in the longest Jam in my life. Normally, traffic jam is due to an accident obstructing the traffic, so when you pass the accident location, you resume smooth traffic. With this mentality in mind, I lined up in the car queue patiently. After 1.5, I crawled 1km to the accident spot only to find the expressway sealed up by the traffic police due to a fatal accident involving a motorcyclist. WTH... ok.. I knoe I shouldn't compain.. Though I wasted 2 hours, I still have got millions of 2 hours left in my life while the motorcylist had just finished his last 2 hours.

So moral of the story: Dun ride a bike.

YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOU RIDE SAFELY BUT YOU CANT MAKE SURE OTHERS DO THE SAME, ESP TAXI DRIVERS.

In the evening, I met up with my army frens, vincent, WB and WZ, who are having nite off from their incamp at tuas. Chan was supposed to turn up but he dint. In the morning, he appeared to be very enthu abt the nite off cos he was telling me over the msn that Vincent passed his IPPT(pass IPPT got 100 dollars), so will be giving him a Mac treat. Then I learnt from WB that he kana a BIG arrow by Dr Foo, so he was still nursing his injury in camp... haha.. Being a nice fren, I bought a Mac sundae which i asked WB to bring back camp for Chan.

Class Outing

2006-06-19T17:28:00.000+08:00

I went for dinner with my tuition class on Sat. Since this is our last 3-4 months together, I suggested giving them a treat. Lester suggested gg to some cheap place in Wisma to eat thai food but as a nice teacher I decided on gg to a slightly more expensive Jap restaurant near Suntec fountain. The food there is cheap and nice. I paid $7.90 for hainanese chicken, prawn rolls, soup, jelly and FREE FLOW of drink.(inc peach tea, orange juice, mocho, cappuchino, latte etc)

These are the photos for the day. No pictures of kenneth, brendan and lester cos my camera batt went flat when I wanna take their pics. Sorry for that.

yihui, liling, anni, wenyao

After dinner, we played truth or dare (teenagers game). During my time, the forfeit used to be:

1) go to the mac counter and ask for cha kway tiao, ai ham mai hiam

2) go knock the mac glass door three times with your head

3) hide your watch then go ask a stranger for time. Then after he tells you the time, you take out your watch and tell him his time is 3 min slower

I tot those were bad enough untill I saw wat they did. They concot a potent mixture that looks like laksa sauce but it actually consists of chilla, vinegar, coffee, peach tea, green chilli, jap pepper, soy sauce. So they practically put in everything that they can lay their hands on.

At first we started with half a tea-spoon for every forfeit. then we gruadually increase to finishing the whole cup. N...

Lester Tan was the luck soul!

Realising that we are getting too much unwanted attention from the crowd. We stopped the game and went to the tower 5. There was a place where they are a lot of toy dispensing machines.(Those where you put coins in and twist the circle thing, then a toy will drop out)

I found one that dispense doraemon characters and I got for myself 3 characters.

Ah fu, Xiao Ding Ling, Xiao Ding Dang.

PS: the red doraemon is not pirated. For your info, doraemon was initially red but he cried too much, so his blue tears dyed him blue.

Bad Hair Day...

2006-06-17T13:23:00.000+08:00

Woke up at the morning to watch my favourite Doraemon cartoon.(Dun say I'm childish k? This used to be the most popular cartoon during my childhood, equivalent to the Digimon now) Then I went to wash up and realised that my hair is very thick and out of shape. I decided that I would better get a haircut before ppl mistook my surname to be "Zhong" and name to be "guoren". By the way, my surname is OH.

I have always believe in the "一分钱 , 一分货 "theory,(means quality of service depends on how much you pay) so I'm willing to go to a better solon. Then my hairsylist showed me a jap magazine which shows all the trendy hairstyles, then I pick one that looks like the pic below.
But my hairstylist dun seem to be interested in the pic. He just took a 0.5 seconds glance and cast the magazine aside. He did a good job for me during the previous visit, so I tot he's damn pro to have already memorised all the hairstyles in the mag. Then i happily sit down and relax in the seat.

Then he finally broke the silence.

Hairstylist: you got gamble World Cup anot?

Me: Sometimes.... if i got watch

Hairstylist: Wow lao.. yest I almost got scared to death. I bet holland win then Ivory Coast second half nearly equalised.. Then after that, I bet Mexico give one ball and lost.. sibei sian..

Me: *Obviously being more concerned with how long he sleep than how much he lost*
Me: then you not tired huh?

Hairstylist: ok lor... Since since World Cup started, I have been betting and watching every match, so already got used to sleeping at 5am and waking up at 9am.

Me:*I was praying very hard that god could make him fully awake for the next 15 min"

Then one auntie(should be the supervisor or boss) broke the silence.

Auntie: Jos***(my hairstylist), you got one more customer, how long more you nid?

Hairstylist: 10 more minutes

WTF!!! He means he's going get my hair cut in 10 mins and charge me $31.50?!!! Then I might as well go to EC CUT and pay 10 dollars. My face totally changed at that instant, then the auntie suggested giving Jos*** another 30 min. But I'm still quite unhappy with the service.

Then I started to see more and more hair falling onto the plastic cover that I was wearing.. N my hair is getting shorter and shorter and shorter.. Eventually, this image appeared on the mirror..

Damn it! It's totally different from wat I wanted. But wat to do? Cannot ask him to stick the hair back rit? If you happened to get him to cut your hair during World Cup period, may god bless you. And he said he' mostly probably gg to bet on USA tonite, so I will definitely root for Italy.

How to Invest Wisely?

2006-06-16T09:11:00.000+08:00

Singaporeans, even graduates, are generally very poor thing cos we work to pay bills, chilrend's education and loans till the very day we die. Say a normal fresh grad gets a starting pay of $2.5k (3k for XY), so after CPF will left 2k, then he gives his parents $500 (XY's dad is rich, so it's the other way round), spent 1k on food, transport and bills, $300 for hobbies and that left you with $100 dollars to save up every month. With a misery saving of 100 per month and 1.2k per yr, you dun get to go on a tour, buy car etc. In order to jump out of the poverty cycle, the key is to invest.

1) Stocks and Shares
Depending on your style of investment, "play safe" peeps are happy as long as their returns are greater than the 1% local banks offer(In technical term, it means IRR has to be greater than MARR). This method doesn't work for me cos I see no difference between 1k and 1.1k. Hence I suppose I am the "ga ga cheong" will go for the the type of trade that will double or triple your capital in few months time. But with great return, the risk is high.

2) Adoption of superstars
English Premier League, Serie A and La liga footballers are earning tens of thousands pounds every weeks. I predict the salary cap will continue to rise for the next 20 yrs. Brazilians generally make very good footaller, just look at the number of World Cups they won. So, it is a safe bet to go adopt a few poor brazilian kids, take care of them financially, restrict them from playing any other things except for soccer 23-7, make sure they spend the remaining 1-7 to look at your pic, so they knoe who to be grateful to if they do make it big one day. If you decided to be bolder in this investment scheme, you can try Ghana(Africa) cos they are producing quite a number of superstars, most notably Essien which cost Chelsea 24 millions. Most importantly, it's cost saving cos the money you pay for 1 brazilian kid is enough to feed 10 ghana kids.

After work yest, I went to NUS library to borrow some books on Technical analysis (so obviously I go for investment 1). Reason being, you wont see a poor medical doctor or broker in Singapore, so since I cant be the former, I shall try for the latter.

Then I went for tennis with Poky and Ernee. As usual, I was the lousiest.. So can EMCEE stop cheehonging for 1 day and impart me some strokes??!!! I guess it's impossible cos it's like asking him not to breathe.

After tennis, we went to West Coast Mac for a drink. Poky said dun nid to put parking coupons cos he always come here with his frens to play see-saws at the playground behind Mac but nv kana summon before. But I dun trust him... I was traumatised by "Fatimah"' $50 summon last sat and I decided paying 50 cents is ocviously better than 30 dollars.

Then Poky, AKA the walking street directory told me to do a U-turn to go back to NUS where I will knoe how to go back home. I've already emphasized that Poky is evil by nature. There was no U-turn signs to be seen. Next thing I realised I ended up in Jurong. Congratulation Poky, your evil plot worked... I onli reached home after 1 hour.

PS: I was just joking. I knoe Poky dint mean it. Actually, there are 2 exits from the Mac and 1 one them really leads to a U-turn.

The 15/99 Most Chee Hong Man Election!!!

2006-06-15T13:02:00.000+08:00

I started my wonderful Thursday on a perfect note. First, my alarm dint sound (thanx to my ancient phone with very limited functions, it doesn't even have a sent folder to store my sent msg. Worst thing is I cant even check if I have sent my message to the intended person), so I woke up at 810 which means I would be late for work which starts at 830. But I thank god for waking me up late cos I not only get to sleep for extra 30 min, but also most importantly I get to see the first babe in ntu after 6 weeks of internship. DUN GET ME WRONG!! I dun mean there is a lack of pretty gals in ntu. see this is the holiday period, so obviously most of them will not come to school.

I was driving towards my company when I saw this girl in pink jacket at a bus stop. She is probably the gal most guys would like to have living next door. sweet-loking, demure, long silky hair... I think I sound a bit exagerating but tt's the reaction you would protray after you have spent the last 6 weeks in a workplace with only office aunties around.

still feeling very excited upon reaching office, I told Emcee over the msn.

Emcee: If you know her name, I can track her down for you.
**wow.. this pig seems to have a big network of frens**

Me: huh? I onli get to see her for 1.25 sec leh. But with the ultra-observant nature in me, I noticed that she embrioded her name on her bag. So dream gal type rit?

Emcee: So wat's her name?

Me: She has a very unique name. It's "ELLE"

**Crows fly past**

The Mysterious Ice-cream Gal...

2006-06-13T14:05:00.000+08:00

Finally, I have got my first picture up in my blog. I have friends asking me which girl taught me how to upload picture. (due to the virgin entry) Well, I am not that desperate yet tarnish my intellectual image(I can vouch for that cos I've known myself for 24 yrs) just to exchange for a few minutes of conversation with the chosen one. But who knoes... If one day I do come across someone special, I will delete all the pics on my blog even if I have to climb the highest mountain and to swim in the deepest sea to do that... sounds familiar rit haha..

Let's come today's topic, the ice-cream gal.

Who is this ice-cream gal?

i) I think 70% of the readers would guess that she is a cute girl selling ice-cream at hagan daz, anderson etc and I would like to get to know her.

ii) 29% will imagine her to be a little girl in white who floats around suntec fountain selling ice-cream after 12 midnite. If you buy ice-cream from her, you will die when the ice-cream completely melts. The one and only way to save yourself is to get another person to lick the ice-cream b4 it melts. In this case, you have a scapegoat to die in your place.

iii) then what's the last 1 %'s opinion? To know that, I've to date back to last Thursday.......

08/06/06 0935:23am

Conversation with the Emcee again...

Emcee: I'm meeting a cute gal tonite.
(OMG!!! I seriously hope it's not the philipino maid... To my relief, this gal is a Singaporean)

Me: Who?

Emcee: Cannot tell you.

Me: Why so secretive?

Emcee: Cos you might be a threat to me..

Me: But I cant possibly contact her by just knowing her name rit? Anyway you seem to be afraid of competition..

Emcee: nah... I like challenges cos it' exciting. BUT the time is not rit for competitions now

Me: ...... *contradicting
Me: Then meet where?

Emcee Cannot tell you too.

Me: Give me some clue k?

Emcee: ok.. in the jungle where all ends meet lives a tree shimmering in a sea of blue.

Being intellectual, I managed to solve the riddle for the location but I cannot reveal the location because Emcee owns the patentship to the answer.

Emcee decided that being intellectual to come out with this riddle is not enough. He nids to show the cute gal that he is intellectual in an artifical unintentionally manner. He went on to msg the gal the riddle and offer to give her an ice-cream treat if she can guess the correct ans. From our 7 yrs of frenship, I foresee him trying ways and means to reveal the ans to tt gal, so that he gets to go out wif her on another date. Great move there!

Since Emcee refuses to tell me her name, I call her the ice-cream gal.

Curious on how cute the ice-cream gal is, I try to dig it out from Emcee.

Emcee: long straight hair

Emcee: Big eyes, sharp nose, small mouth

Emcee: She's tan and sporty

So I piece them together and get.......

wanna see? scroll down

scroll down further....

DANG DANG! Here I present the cutest ice-cream gal. If anyone knoes her, you might wanna tell me her name.

A Simple Weekends (Part 2)

2006-06-12T15:45:00.000+08:00

Sunday

The weather was very bad with heavy rain all over Singapore for the whole day. Was supposed to play tennis at JC's place with HB, TF and XY but the rain cancelled everything. I was so disappointed. Tot of picking up a few strokes from JC, the former AJC tennis captain, so that I would be able to beat Poky in tennis. Haiz.. looks like I'm gonna to be thrashed again by Poky and his sesame street fren, ernee, this coming Thursday.

Then we decided to go for a movie. Xy suggested Omen but we settled for Silent Hill in the end. Why? cos as typical poor Singaporean (excluding xy cos he's a rich man's son, so money doesn't matter much to him), we went for the longest duration movie to justify the weekend price.

Overall, watching Silent Hill was quite satisfying, just that the way it was filmed made it look like a RPG game. And also I was affected by the people sitting by my sides. On my left was a Philipino maid who kept jerking the seat thru out becos she was scared by the appearance of the devil, monster, rat, chair, man, car, glass, tree, sky and etc. On my right, there's a guy who kept turning his head to ogle at the maid (maybe he thinks that the maid is chio).

Actual sitting arrangement in the theatre, I'm the third from the left.

A Simple Weekend...

2006-06-12T11:06:00.000+08:00

I started my saturday morning with 10 dollars poorer from the World Cup opening match. I bet Germany win 3-1 and they won 4-2. Nvm, anyway I dun expect to win the bet either cos I just bought it for the thrill. (if you think that I'm being a sore loser who's trying hard to find an excuse to console myself, then you are absolutely correct).

In the afternoon, I went for tuition to make up for my 10 dollars loss. (I knoe I'm being naggy abt my loss, okok I promise this will be the last time.) I have a very interesting and friendly student. His hobby is to make friends, so he often tries to start a conversation with strangers (of both sex.. he is different from those buayah who goes up to pretty gals and ask for their number). As expected, he received a lot of suspicious glares from strangers who doubted his true friendliness. Yah! from wat I know of him, his friendliness comes from his heart. But although he is sincere abt making frens, he cant really fault the suspicious strangers.

Look around the posters in MRT, you see a small girl holding a teddy bear looking fearful and a phrase in BIG BLOCK letters "DO NOT TALK TO STRANGERS!" Singaporeans have been taught since young by parents and society that Strangers are dangerous. My parents used to tell me tt too and I believe they did the right thing. See..from the perspective of parents, if your child dun reply to a stranger, at most your kid will be branded as a snobbish person (and who cares if ur kid gives the stranger a bad impression? it's just a stranger) ; but if your child replys, there's a possibility that he might end up in the newspaper headline as the next child abuse victim.

So, my advice to the student is "Dun talk to strangers". If he wans to make more frens, the best way is to do it through a mutual fren.

Then I went to watch the England Versus Paraguay match at Bugis with 2 frens and 1 acquaintance.

1) lazy worm
(she got this nic becos she always sleeps during lecture when I first knew her. Anyway she can afford to be lazy cos she is a smart worm with 7 distinctions in A' level)

2) doraemon

(cos he likes to style his hair such that every single strand stands. So his head looks as big as Doraemon. It's nice to have a doraemon fren cos he helps in starting a conversation, esp with a babe. For example,

guy: hey do you knoe who is the guy over that?
babe: orh.. he's peter.
guy: wrong! he's doraemon cos he has got a big big head.
*then both the guy and babes will start laughing at doraemon.. poor doraemon.)

3) Strawberry Poky
(this is a he. He always buy strawberry poky for us during project meeting. He also got for me an open packet of poky with only 9 sticks left for my birthday, so I doubt there's no nid for me to elaborate on who the acquaintance is. If he wan to promote to the fren category, he would better buy me something better than 9 poky sticks next yr. Not to forget, he is not as innocent as his nic suggests. He always try to encourage the three of us to go somewhere in Clark Quay to smoke "seesha"Hope i got the spelling rite, it's a flavoured cigarette as Poky claims to be. I always picture tt place to be a opium house with weak old man with pipes in their mouth, lying down in partition cubicle. EE.. old man's hobby)

The match is damn boring, so I shall skip that. If you wanna knoe wat happened during the match, you can go to soccernet.

Next, we went to settlers's cafe to play boardgame. We played some very interesting games, such as buildling pyramid game, taboo, hamster wheel. The most satisfactory was that we got a extra plate of fries from the package that we ordered, thanx to Poky. The attendent served us a fries which we dint order then Poky asked worm to go touch and contaminate the fries so that they cant take it back. N... Yeah! We got away with both fries and nuggets. See.. Poky is always coming up with bad ideas but we cant blame him this time cos he's doing it for our welfare.

poky, doraemon, worm and me at settlers

We played till the cafe closed the Poky said he's walking home. then..

Poky: bye.. I'll walk home
Me: I'll send you back
Poky: really dun nid.. it's too troublesome..
Me: What are acquaintance for?

That's all for Saturday. Going for lunch now. Will resume to blog about Sunday after lunch since my supervisor is away for 2 weeks.

World Cup Opening!!!

2006-06-09T13:52:00.000+08:00

The very much anticipated World Cup is once again here, much to the delights of soccer fanatics, bookies, singapore pool. However it also brought about sorrows to a few groups of people.

1) Coffeshop Owners
cos the kopitiam will be flooded with cheapskate (giam peng) peeps who will order a cup of 70 cents coffee and hog on to the seat until they finish the last match of the day. Although the kopitiam is fullhouse, the earning is minimised. To illustrate, image every gaim peng person orders a cup of coffee and stays for an average of 7 hours. He would be paying onli 10 cents per hour. Say there are 100 ppl, then it will generate $10/hr which is only barely enough to pay 2 kopi soh. ( auntie who serves drinks)

2) Punters
The chinese idiom " 十赌九输" means that there are 9 losers out of 10 gamblers. Since that is the case, why are there so many punters? The reason being, out of the 10 gamblers, all 10 of them feel that they would that one and only winner. However, I beg to differ. I feel that IN THE LONG RUN, the possibilty of maintaining a positive credit is 0.0001^10000. Dun believe check out my theory. Usually this is the outcome of punters ( statistically proven by 3 victims of skytake, an online betting site tt literally takes away all your money as suggested by the name itself. If you are wondering who are the 3 suay kia, the first is a CAI PENG hawker, the second is his fren of 13 yrs.)

i - If you win the first bet, you feel that luck is with you, so 90% of the punters will continue. The remaining 10% who are more disciplined will be subjects to advices from their fellow punters like " wow lao you so lucky wanna stop, siao bor? Now god wanna give you money and you go against his wish. Wait you kanna lightning strikes how?" As expected, almost all will continue gambling.

ii - If you win, you continue; if you lose, you wanna recover your loss. So the cycle goes on and winners become losers and losers become bankrupt.

iii- you frens will ignore you , fearing that you are gg to borrow money from them. Your gf will tell you that she's going to bed at 8pm. Then when your bookie called at 10pm to press you for payment, you hear your gf's voice in the background.

3) Runners
They are like the bookies' hands who go around collecting debts and distributing winnings. Usually, during this 1 month of gambling season, even a 3 yr old kid will knoe that there're bound to be illegal gambling activities. So Mr Policeman needs to show Singaporeans that other than issuing speeding and parking summons, they are equally capable in terms of solving crimes. Usually, most bookies are rich and resourceful, it is hard to nail them down. Hence the poor runners eventually become the scapegoat.

Despite all the cons mentioned about gambling, I placed my first $10 bet of World Cup 2006 on Germany beating Costa Rica with a scoreline of 3-0. I emphasized that I'm not a hard-core punter, in fact I'm just a low profile philanthropist who donates to the charitable organisation thru Singapore Pool.

I ate Cai Peng for Lunch!

2006-06-08T14:37:00.000+08:00

Going on to my second entry of the day. In case, anyone was wondering why is this simple guy so free during internship? Is he eating snake? Why do I see him on MSN from 9am to 6pm? I would like to clarify these misconceptions. I admit that I have been idling around for the past few days. It's due to the fact that my job is inter-linked with another engineer's, so I've to wait for him to finish his work before I could start on mine. If that is too naggy, I just wanna say,"I din't eat snake or chaokeng (eat snake in millitary term)!

Back from lunch, looking around for inspirations for my 2nd entry. First tot that flashed across was "where did I go for lunch and wat did I eat?" Hmm... but tt's sounds boring cos I dun think anyone would interested to know whether I eat Bak Chou Mee, Cai Peng or roti prata for lunch. Hence, being a nice person, I shall spare my readers of the boredom.

Speaking of Zhap Cai Peng, I saw JR, my fren of 13 yrs on MSN this morning. (yeah I knew him since primary 5) He used to be a NTU computing undergrad. Upon receiving his results slip last Dec, he decided that he is not interested in studies, so he quitted school to sell cai peng. His decision stunts all of us. I guess even the most foolish fool in the world would tell you that tt's a bad decision. Ironically, JR seems to be doing well. He's gonna open his 3rd stall, buy a car and buy a 60" plasma tv which cant fit into his living room.

let's do an analysis.

Hawker Vs Engineer?

Hawker:

-can earn 10 k every month but only nid to file 1.2k for income tax.

-PSLE, O' level, N' Level, A'Level, Graduates can all apply.

- Can flirt with the Coffee Shop Auntie A.K.A. the kopitiam Belle who often has problem squeezing into the small sized tiger beer dress

- can never apply for credit cards cos they only file 10% of their earnings for income tax.
(tt's why you see hawkers always carrying stacks of $1000 notes when they go shopping. So now you knoe burglars are quite dumb cos they often try so hard to break into bungalows which are well protected with high-tech security systems to only find credit cards in the drawers.)

-Work for 6-7 days a week.

-Long working hours (9am to 9pm)

-Might be earning a lot of money but nowhere to spend because it will attract the unwanted attentions of income tax officers. Hence you will most probably donate the money in the upcoming World Cup to the bookies or Singapore Pool.

Engineer:

- A slightly more reputatable job.

- stable but miserly income unless for senior engineer.

- will be frenless becos an engineer works 12 hours shifts which means work 2 days rest 2 days. When your frens are working, you are not and vice versa. As this goes on, you will be wondering if your hp is spoilt cos it doesn't buzz at all.

- With little time with ur gf, she will be having Cai Peng everyday. Next thing, you will receive an invitation to her wedding with the Cai Peng Hawker who earns 10k a month, drives a BMW, wears a gold chain thicker than your thumb and lives in a 3-room HDB flat.

First Post: Advantages of a Blog

2006-06-08T12:21:00.000+08:00

My impression of a BLOG is an online diary that keeps track of interesting and memorable events happening in my life. However, after a msn conversation with one of my JC fren (cant reaveal his name cos I haven gotten his permission), I realised that a blog is extremely useful in getting to knoe girls, provided that his theory works.

Qn: How to do that?
Ans: Read on!

Conversation with the mysterious JC fren (I shall call him emcee to protect his identity)

Me: i created this blog cos i nid something to occupy my time
Emcee: no u are using the blog to chase the XXX gal
Me: But how?
Emcee: common ground cause u can ask the gal for help setting up the blog

Unwillingly, he imparted his self-claimed very effective skill of "getting close to a girl" to me. After doing some brainstorming, I came out with an equally impressive name to match the astounding skill of his.
and it goes...

"泡妞三步曲"

A.K.A.

"Three Steps Closer to Bliss"

ps: Only works if your dream girl has got a blog.

step 1:
When you first set up your blog, make it as simple as possible. (means no impressive background, no music, no pic etc)

step 2:
Next time you meet your dream girl, comment that her blog looks SO IMPRESSIVE, then you get to ask her for advices and guides. At this point, she will probably teach you some blog stuff on the spot and ask you to try it out.

Problems: Wat if the girl is a novice in blogging? What if her blog is worse?
Ans: Go back to step one and check out the bold phrase. If her blog is just as simple, then try to IMAGINE that it is impressive and go on to step two.

Step 3:
i)Eventhough you are an expert in blogging, you have to act stoopig enough not to be able to figure out the stuffs she taught you. In this case, you will have an excuse to call her and then you can slowly digress to movies and dinner.

ii)Or if you are damn good in blogging, you can tell her you learn something new and interesting about blogging, and you would like to share with her. But this is slightly more risky cos you have to make sure tt "something" is not only new to you but to her too. Else, you would be making a fool out of yourself. In short, stick to (3i).

Please note that the above skill mentioned above is neither proven scientifically nor statistically. So please try it at your own risk. I will not be held responsible for any misfortunes and accidents occuring from the usage of this skill.
