Now ppl, I'm starting to feel the stressful-ness of my job.. It may seems easy to you all as to what I'm doing, but you never koe wat really happens until you are the one doing mine.. especially with a near-perfectionist boss tat I have (and ironically, I am a perfectionist myself, but I cant really take another person juz like me.. so ya..).. here's the day's lowdown.. read on if you are curious..
This morning went to work as usual.. reached there a bit early, so had a longer breakfast.. so ya..
As usual, I went up to my office desk to settle some really brief admin stuff, before going down to the production floor to do my rounds, which is a usual thing for me to do..
After a while, my boss came and told me to follow him, becos he wanna teach me how to operate the pipes of the machines and stuff.. I can see why he is doing this, becos I'm a supervisor, so I shld more or less koe wats wrong with the machines and stuff, in the event tat anything crops up.. so I was more or less ok with it.. then I saw them doing the whole process, and of course, I asked my workers anything tat I'm not sure, be it the steps or the way they operate the machines..
After a while, my boss again like ask me any problem, and I was like say no problem.. then he told me tat I shld come in at 7am tml morning to see the initial setup of the place, so tat I wld be able to see how they setup and stuff.. I then was like hinting him tat I dun need to come so early, becos I've seen them doing it liaox, but then he like a bit insist me to come in at 7am.. I was like juz say "ok" but of course, I dun think I will mean it lah, becos you see.. my boss stays in the company lodging which is juz 5 mins away frm my office, whereas I stay like 45 mins- 1hr bus journey away.. so if I really muz be there by 7am, can u imagine wat time I muz wake up and leave my hse? Dun forget I also like have to go work overtime to settle the piled-up paperwork, becos not really nice for me to take my own sweet time to complete it since its my boss's orders.. so ya.. and for this, I have to work till abt 1815 - 1830 every wkday.. and he expects me to like despite all these, still go at 7am? I seriously dun think this is possible lah!
Then I also got the feeling tat my boss doesnt like me to stay in office the whole day, becos he is like at times hinting me tat I shld be down on the production floor.. though its a small hint, but I can catch it..
I dun koe whether is this my boss intentions.. probably I'm over-sensitive.. so ya.. I dun koe.. I juz have this gut feeling tat he dun like me to stay in the office for a long time during office hrs.. so ya..
Take today for example.. my workers on the "jelly processing" side is doing their cleaning process of the machines, and you koe sumthing? My boss is like asking me today when I'm at my office checking the records and trying to finish checking the records ASAP, "you koe wat they are doing downstairs?".. I replied, "washing.. I think they are foaming the floor or sumthing.. becos I saw them briefly juz now"... then he told me tat they are foaming the machine instead, and he told me tat I shld be downstairs seeing it, since I didnt see before.. I clearly remember my boss told me on the first day of my work, tat I need not be down on the production floor during the machine cleaning process/cleaning up the place..
Also, when I had my interview, my boss never tell me during the interview tat I needed to stay back to help complete the paperwork.. he absolutely never tell me anything.. but even if he said I actually dun need to stay back and do paperwork, you think I wld like want to go off on the dot at 4pm meh? Not very nice rite.. got so much paperwork to do, and yet dun want to do OT.. so ya.. so you see my pt now?
But then again, I cld be wrong, becos my boss may like want me to learn EVERYTHING, but I seriously think tat wat he expects of me is a job more for the production manager (which he is promoted to lah, but he is under probation), rather than a small post of production supervisor like me!.. I'm not even an executive yet.. so I was thinking why I need to koe so much? I believe tat its no pt teaching me so much initially, becos I wld sure forget it somehow (becos of my short term memory).. I believe in experience.. more experience, you wld somewhat koe the things liaox.. no pt telling me to remember this and tat, when I'm only like into my 2nd week of my job? I'm not a very fast learner ya koe..
Mastering and reading the production records fast enuf is already considered an achievement for me (considering only 2 wks!), as well as perfecting my job as a supervisor for my side (which is currently "jelly", which I have been supervising them for a week liaox!), doing wat I shld do and koe wat steps they have to do nxt and the rationale of it. All these is not good enuf for him? If its not, then I dun koe wat's good enuf! Moreover, I have earned the respect of my "jelly" side workers and got along with them real well.. so all these not good enuf for him?
Yes.. I agree tat I shld learn the ropes of everything, but why muz he like when I'm already so comfortable with my "jelly" side (which I'm solely in charge), and yet, my boss wants me to learn something else (which is "juice processing" tat I'm not even in charge of..
My boss's reason is in the event tat the person is absent, I wld koe wat to do (in the event of something happening) and how to go on supervising.. but then, you see.. even if I learn it, wld I be able to apply it?
Hello! I'm not the one who do the product lah.. I juz supervise and make sure everything is in order and stuff..
I'm tat kind of person tat if you want me to excel, I prefer to focus on one specific area, instead of like giving me the whole section (which is the process of juices and jellies, as well as jelly filling and packing) to me..
So tml, another person is gonna teach me abt the "juice processing" (which I think I wld be in charge sooner or later, or once I mastered BOTH "juice processing" & "jelly processing").. and I certainly dun hope tat my boss wants me to excel in both sides, as well as wat I'm currently doing for "jelly processing".. becos if I do, I might juz mess everything up.. I wld rather have 1 side and then excel or be professional in tat area.. so ya..
The reason why my boss dun teach me abt the "juice processing", is becos he was not taught abt "juice processing" when he first joined the company 3 yrs ago.. wat he did over the past 3 yrs, is the one tat he taught me (which is "jelly processing, filling and packing".. so ya..
So I guess I have to spend the nxt 2 days (as he has instructed me to do) to supervise and learn all abt "juice processing" loh.. which seems to be more complicated than "jelly processing".. Moreover, the ppl there on the "juice processing" side dun seemed friendly enuf.. Everyday I see them.. I smile at them, but they dun smile back and stuff.. its like they are so stuck up and unfriendly.. haix.. but wat to do? I still have to do it despite my quiet ranting/complaining on this blogpost..
Then one thing which I really dun understand.. how in the world did my boss like juz stack up his paperwork and juz carry on with his daily work? Doesnt he koe tat when the annual audit comes, the amt of paperwork juz gonna kill him or sumthing? I seriously dun koe how did he managed over the past 3 yrs.. they like last minute stuff? Can't they like do it once a week? Or best, when finish checking the record, immediately file! Dun waste time.. tat is wat I'm currently practicing now.. Its like my record for yesterday, has been already compiled and filed already.. I dun waste time one.. so ya.. dun koe why they keep dragging it until its literally a stack lah.. haix..
Juz as I was confident to complete my remaining paperwork within a week, my boss had to come and give me another stack of records.. He told me to compile them, and I thought ok since its juz compile, no big deal.. but then, wat I didnt expect was tat it was actually NOT checked.. so for each rite, I have to like go thru each record and check each timing and no. to see if they are correct or they tally or not.. and I tell you.. with my supervision for the workers in the day, and still stay OT for 2 hrs, I can only complete abt 12-13 records a day! And so far, I have done abt 25 records on tat stack, but then, there is still abt 15 record more.. so you see.. I really dun koe where to start!
Moreover, I still got 2 huge stacks of records for me to compile and file (and maybe check, I dun koe), waiting for me to do so.. Moreover, I had to like take a past record, and find out myself how to file and stuff, becos my boss is busy..
So you tell me.. everyday OT is wat I spend doing these paperwork stuff.. at the same time, I'm also expected to like spend most of the time on the production floor.. so you see.. my boss wants me to complete both jobs at the same time.. how is tat possible? He wants me to complete my paperwork asap, and at the same time, wants me to be on the production floor most of my time, and now got new things to learn somemore..
So at times, I'm juz wondering, am I his slave or sumthing? Help him clear up all his paperwork? It doesnt mean tat he stays in office till abt 7-9pm everyday, I muz do the same.. Becos its really stressful to juz stay more than a minute in the office.. its super quiet and sianx lah.. its so quiet tat sometimes even during office hrs, whilst checking the records, my eyes were super heavy..
Then whilst doing all the checking of records and compiling and filing it in the afternoons (ie, during office hrs), I had this wild tot of like juz quit the job and go to another company to work, becos I simply cant stand the stress of my job, as well as the tremendous amt of things tat I need to learn within a short time..
But then come to think of it, if I really quit, wld I be able to find a new job in such a short time? Wat will others think of me? A person who gives up easily? I dun koe.. but I'm juz gonna perservere for a while, and see how things goes.. I certainly hope tat my job wld get better..
But all hope is not lost.. the only reason why I decide to not quit and stuff, becos I'm really on very good terms with my workers on the "jelly processing" side.. (esp. the 21 yrs old and 18 yrs old guy).. these 2 guys I really get along real well.. probably they are around my age, so tat explains why I feel I can click with them.. so ya..
So I guess good working colleagues are my motivation to carry on working, becos if not, I guess I wld have quit long ago.. so ya..
In the meantime, I'm really very tired liaox.. facing those records the whole day, and tml gonna learn new stuff... haix.. so I guess I'm gonna sleep early frm now on.. see whether this helps me not to fall asleep whilst I check records.. I wonder how will I fare at work tml? We shall see how lah.. Gdnite peepz!
In a dilemma between tiredness and stress,

A satisfied day!
Finally blogger can post my blogpost.. many thanks to my bro, Andrew, who helped me to publish my previous posts! Thanx ah.. for taking time off to help me publish despite you're studying.. =)
Sunday (29/10/06)
Ok.. I'm a pig on this day! Really a pig lah! =P.. I slept at 0100 on Saturday (28/10) and woke up only on 1030.. pig huh! Tat shows how tired I am lah.. I'm catching up on lost sleep over the past week.. so ya..
After I woke up, do a bit of net surfing and stuff, before I embark on my journey to my new church venue @ Tanjong Pagar for nxt wk's Youth Service music practice.. so ya.. reach there juz on time.. this time, I took a MRT.. so ya.. faster.. but after counting the time taken and stuff, its actually abt the same.. but I rather take MRT, becos waiting for bus 145, its really long I tell you, and its so so stuffy.. so ya..
When I reach there, I played the piano and my bro, Andrew, was on the drums.. and man.. this is the first time tat I felt tat we had so "live" worship.. so ya.. probably its the drums and also, all the songs tat the worship leader chose, I koe all of it.. its really meaningful lah, if you see the lyrics.. so ya..
When I played the piano, I really put my feelings into it, and emote the song as how I felt the song it shld be.. and I was so into the rhythm lah.. so ya..
Then the practice finished, and me and my 2 brothers, Nat & Andrew, were like deciding wat to do since we are done.. so ya.. so we decided to go out to somewhere to spend some quality brotherhood time together (as Andrew has told me on MSN).. haha..
Andrew told me tat Nat has not been to Vivo, so guess wat.. I was there again for Nat's sake.. so ya.. but Nat doesnt fancy Vivo.. haha.. of course, with Nat around, wat can you expect? Lame jokes and more lame jokes! hahax.. but its really fun lah!
Then we went Vivo, and I wanted to go for some retail therapy, but nothing really fancies me.. wat fancies me last time, I dun like liaox.. then 3 of us went to Giordano and saw this nice tshirt, but its V-neck.. and I koe for sure I carry off a V-neck tee becos I really look so gay-ish.. so ya.. so V-necks is a no-no for me.. =)
Then we went to Starbucks to had coffee.. and I had my usual Ice Hazelnut Chocolate.. so ya.. a bit jalat after a while becos I was feeling super full after tat lah.. so ya..
Then we went to Wheelock to have Sakae Sushi for dinner, becos we had a craving for Japanese food.. originally, it was supposed to be at Sushi Tei @ Vivo, but then super crowded, so we decided to change venue.. so ya..
Went to Sakae @ Wheelock, and man.. the food was so so only, but the fellowship was the best! Totally enjoyed their accompany! Thanx bro! =).. its been a while since I had such a fun and enjoyable nite! =)
Then came home and then wanted to blog, but the stupid blogger doesnt allow me too.. and this figuring out made me like thought my html code wrong or sumthing..
I finally gave up at 0030, and went to bathe, becos the nxt day (mon - 30/10) have to go to work mahx..
Monday (30/10/06)
Woke up this morning surprisingly feeling fresh.. dun koe why.. maybe I slept too much yesterday..
Anyway, today at work is a bit tiring.. considering tat I have not enuf sleep yesterday nite..
Today I did mostly paperwork, as my workers finished their jobs early and nothing for me to like go check, except in the morning of course.. so ya..
And I seriously think I'm really helping my boss to clear his paperwork.. this morning as I was abt to like do the remaining stack, guess wat.. I have another stack.. my boss juz told me, "abriel, help me to compile these records..".. and when I saw the stack, I was a bit held back.. but looking on the bright side, I was thinking tat all have been checked and I juz need to file.. but then, I was wrong.. it was only checked partly, and the most tedious part had to be checked by me.. haix.. Sometimes I check until I want to sleep.. I'm serious.. Imagine urself staying in a quiet office, with aircon, and all in front of you are some records you have to check.. wont tat like make you sleep? And hello.. its not for an hour.. it can be like easily up to 4-5 hrs.. so ya..
But one thing good though.. for a certain record, now I can juz view and check it juz under 5 minutes, instead of the usual 15 mins when I first started!.. so you can imagine how many records I have read to hold such a record timing loh.. hahax..
Then I've decided.. I will work my overtime until 1815 or 1830.. no later than tat.. but usually its 1815.. wanna get home in time to watch my 7pm show.. hahax.. so ya.. so its quite coincidental tat I left my workplace 1815 on the dot!
Then took bus home and then eat dinner.. which of course, I had a slight disagreememnt with my sister lah.. she juz gets on my nerves.. and considering tat I'm tired enuf, so you can imagine how short my in-built fuse is.. so ya.. better not say anymore, before I get mad.. so ya..
Ok lah.. gtg liaox.. surfing other websites.. and got to do quite a number of church stuffs as well..
I shall cya ppl soon.. and I've got to work tml.. wonder wat awaits me @ work.. hmmm..

What a tiring 2 days..
Ppl, have been real busy.. so here it is.. my 2 days worth of updates..
Friday (27/10/06)
Anyway, work was ok.. but it was extremely tiring.. dun koe why.. have like slept for 5 hrs on average each nite before going to work.. (btw, I sleep like at 1130-0545).. tats abt my average time of sleeping.. not enuf lah..
So ya.. after a week of continuous routine, naturally becos I'm not used to it, I wld feel much much tired.. so ya.. today was like I'm almost drained dead.. so ya..
Work was ok.. still trying my best to like go down to the production floor to supervise.. and ok.. time does not pass as soon as I tot.. but I still have to be at the production floor to "show face" and spend a reasonable amt of time.. so ya.. Doing too much paperwork will also make me a bit sian.. so ya.. so I guess it balances out lah..
Then its after 4pm, and by right, I shld like go up to office and do my paperwork.. but then, I need to go down to the production floor to see see look look, becos I realised I have not like "clock enuf milage time" to be on the production floor.. so ya..
Anyway, I went down and juz supervise for a while, before going up to office.. but then, juz as I was sitting down, my boss called me to help him do a favour, which needs me to go down to the production floor, and I have no choice but to say "ok", though I was super tired liaox..
Then after all tat is done, I came up to the office to continue with my paperwork.. then 5 minutes later, my boss told me again tat he needed my help in helping him to carry out another favour.. So again, I had no choice but to say "yes".. so ya..
And this thing occupies abt 30 minutes of my time..
So by the time I can sit down and do paperwork, its already abt 1710 liaox.. so ya.. did paperwork until like 1830.. then rush down to SAC (my new church venue) to help out in the setting up of the hall venue tat we wld be using it for Youth Service nxt Sat (04/11).. And I was so lazy to change into my civilian clothes, so I decided to juz wear my uniform (which is quite obiang).. anyway, I waited for 145 like 30mins, and there was a terrible jam.. by the time I reach there, it was 1.5 hrs later *gulpz*.. and the bus was so crowded tat it was so stuffy though it had air-con.. and man.. when a lot of ppl in a bus, you wld koe there is this certain smell (sweat smells tat is..).. and there is this old man who is beside me, and I think he had body odour or the sweat smell on his shirt.. I tell you.. its super unbearable lah!.. I almost die of suffocation..
Once I reach there, I went to Burger King and eat dinner all by myself, which I almost vomited, becos the fries were too 'jelat'.. After finish, I went to go and help.. and I realise I was being extra, becos I was not doing anything lah!.. I did those minor things, and I dun think I'm necessary at all, becos all the things were setup and stuff.. so wat I did is like most of the time stoning ard loh.. super tired..
Then did till abt 2230, I went back with my dad (my dad was also helping).. then by the time I reached home, its 2330 liaox.. bathe and sleep liaox.. So tat is the reason why I didnt blog.. so ya..
Saturday (28/10/06)
Woke up this morning really tired, but still have to wake up at 0545 to go to work.. haix..
So as usual, I went to the nearby coffeeshop near my workplace to eat my breakfast (FYI: I also settle my lunch at the same coffeeshop!), and the aunty roughly koe wat I eat liaox.. she even koe wat drink I want to drink.. hahax.. tats how regular I am to the shop! hahax.. =).. really nice and friendly stallholders as well.. so ya..
After I had my breakfast, I went to office, and do a bit of paperwork before going down to production floor to "show face".. abt 15 mins later, I was back in my office to do paperwork, and I tell you.. it was quite an amount of paperwork to complete lah.. checking records and stuff.. haix..
Then at abt 12 noon (did 30 mins overtime), I left office, and came home.. and then eat lunch and rush to church becos I got music practice at 1500.. so ya.. Manage to reach there on time, but then I was super tired.. and it lasted through the whole service.. I cldnt really concentrate.. The sermon was quite good but then my eyes were like simply so "heavy".. haix..
Service ended, and as usual, there were some packing up and last minute packing and clearing up of the Youth room for nxt wk service.. so ya.. By the time we were done, its abt 2000 liaox..
Tjow initial plan is go Amara Hotel to "show face" at the foodcourt (becos the whole congregation is going there lah) and then go to Vivocity for dinner.. Didnt join them becos I was busy packing up the Youth Room with Ash and Joshua Tan.
So after we were done, we went to Subway to meet Andrew and the rest (which they have started eating already and almost finishing).. intentions were to eat at Subway, but then, no more bread left.. so ya.. so Ash, Joshua Tan and myself said we go to Vivocity first to find place.. so there we left..
And then we reached Vivo, mtg Tjow, Ryan, Cat, Jaslyn, Claudia, Jeremy & Joshua Gouw, and me being the food guru, went up to Food Republic.. so ya.. at tat was abt 2100 liaoz.. so seats were easy to find.. within 5 minutes, can find liaox.. so ya.. Becos this was my second time in the week to eat at Food Republic and I have tried almost all the nice food, I recommended a few.. but didnt really see them buy it.. it is all I buy one, then they say nice.. But its really hurting on my pocket.. my dinner yesterday costs a whopping $12.70.. here is the breakdown:
(a) Curry economic rice - $6
[The curry + pork chop very shiok.. I let all of them try, and they say nice!]
(b) Sichuan and pork rib soup - $4.20
[They also said nice.. and Cat actually trying 1 mouth of my soup and she said was addictive, so she went to buy 1 bowl of soup, but its watercress.. not bad too!]
(c) Ice Mango & Pomelo dessert - $2.50
[This is highly recommended! This is a dessert which I always eat whenever I'm at Food Republic (no matter whether its Wisma or Harbourfront branch).. And I eat it as usual yesterday and let Cat, Deborah, Joshua Gouw, Jeremy & Tjow tried.. they all say very good.. Cat commented tat "I koe where the nice food are!".. ha..
Cat, if you are reading this, wat u expect? I'm the food guru mahx.. hahax..
Then Deborah commented tat if she had a boyfriend like me, she wld grow fat.. hahax.. Then Joshua Gouw was like quite exaggerating.. he eat machiam like being enlightened suddenly.. hahax.. funny guy..
Anyway, Cat bought a bowl for herself too.. so ya.. yesterday's portion of dessert was extremely good, becos there were a lot of pomelo (unlike last Tuesday which I go is so little lahx!).. haix..]
So I had a satisfied dinner lah.. so ya.. =).. love it.. then came home, bathe, and then blog this post loh..
Super shacked liaox.. Tml is Sunday, so tat means I can sleep in.. yeh!! =)
Got to go and sleep liaox.. ciaox and cya ppl ard tml.. =)
Loving Vivo (esp. Food Republic) so much,

Once I reach there, I went to Burger King and eat dinner all by myself, which I almost vomited, becos the fries were too 'jelat'.. After finish, I went to go and help.. and I realise I was being extra, becos I was not doing anything lah!.. I did those minor things, and I dun think I'm necessary at all, becos all the things were setup and stuff.. so wat I did is like most of the time stoning ard loh.. super tired..
Then did till abt 2230, I went back with my dad (my dad was also helping).. then by the time I reached home, its 2330 liaox.. bathe and sleep liaox.. So tat is the reason why I didnt blog.. so ya..
Saturday (28/10/06)
Woke up this morning really tired, but still have to wake up at 0545 to go to work.. haix..
So as usual, I went to the nearby coffeeshop near my workplace to eat my breakfast (FYI: I also settle my lunch at the same coffeeshop!), and the aunty roughly koe wat I eat liaox.. she even koe wat drink I want to drink.. hahax.. tats how regular I am to the shop! hahax.. =).. really nice and friendly stallholders as well.. so ya..
After I had my breakfast, I went to office, and do a bit of paperwork before going down to production floor to "show face".. abt 15 mins later, I was back in my office to do paperwork, and I tell you.. it was quite an amount of paperwork to complete lah.. checking records and stuff.. haix..
Then at abt 12 noon (did 30 mins overtime), I left office, and came home.. and then eat lunch and rush to church becos I got music practice at 1500.. so ya.. Manage to reach there on time, but then I was super tired.. and it lasted through the whole service.. I cldnt really concentrate.. The sermon was quite good but then my eyes were like simply so "heavy".. haix..
Service ended, and as usual, there were some packing up and last minute packing and clearing up of the Youth room for nxt wk service.. so ya.. By the time we were done, its abt 2000 liaox..
Tjow initial plan is go Amara Hotel to "show face" at the foodcourt (becos the whole congregation is going there lah) and then go to Vivocity for dinner.. Didnt join them becos I was busy packing up the Youth Room with Ash and Joshua Tan.
So after we were done, we went to Subway to meet Andrew and the rest (which they have started eating already and almost finishing).. intentions were to eat at Subway, but then, no more bread left.. so ya.. so Ash, Joshua Tan and myself said we go to Vivocity first to find place.. so there we left..
And then we reached Vivo, mtg Tjow, Ryan, Cat, Jaslyn, Claudia, Jeremy & Joshua Gouw, and me being the food guru, went up to Food Republic.. so ya.. at tat was abt 2100 liaoz.. so seats were easy to find.. within 5 minutes, can find liaox.. so ya.. Becos this was my second time in the week to eat at Food Republic and I have tried almost all the nice food, I recommended a few.. but didnt really see them buy it.. it is all I buy one, then they say nice.. But its really hurting on my pocket.. my dinner yesterday costs a whopping $12.70.. here is the breakdown:
(a) Curry economic rice - $6
[The curry + pork chop very shiok.. I let all of them try, and they say nice!]
(b) Sichuan and pork rib soup - $4.20
[They also said nice.. and Cat actually trying 1 mouth of my soup and she said was addictive, so she went to buy 1 bowl of soup, but its watercress.. not bad too!]
(c) Ice Mango & Pomelo dessert - $2.50
[This is highly recommended! This is a dessert which I always eat whenever I'm at Food Republic (no matter whether its Wisma or Harbourfront branch).. And I eat it as usual yesterday and let Cat, Deborah, Joshua Gouw, Jeremy & Tjow tried.. they all say very good.. Cat commented tat "I koe where the nice food are!".. ha..
Cat, if you are reading this, wat u expect? I'm the food guru mahx.. hahax..
Then Deborah commented tat if she had a boyfriend like me, she wld grow fat.. hahax.. Then Joshua Gouw was like quite exaggerating.. he eat machiam like being enlightened suddenly.. hahax.. funny guy..
Anyway, Cat bought a bowl for herself too.. so ya.. yesterday's portion of dessert was extremely good, becos there were a lot of pomelo (unlike last Tuesday which I go is so little lahx!).. haix..]
So I had a satisfied dinner lah.. so ya.. =).. love it.. then came home, bathe, and then blog this post loh..
Super shacked liaox.. Tml is Sunday, so tat means I can sleep in.. yeh!! =)
Got to go and sleep liaox.. ciaox and cya ppl ard tml.. =)
Loving Vivo (esp. Food Republic) so much,

Another bad news..
Well.. this time, my workday went on juz fine, and the day started with ppl talking abt yesterday the GM issue (abt the production executives to be in the production floor most of their time).. so apparently I tot the email was aiming at me, but then apparently no.. its the whole company's production executives.. so ya.. at least I koe my boss is not aiming at me or sumthing..
So anyway, this morning I spend 3 hrs on the production floor.. from 0730-1030.. And surprisingly, 3 hrs juz pass like tat.. becos I was seeing the ppl doing their stuff and all.. then check this and tat.. and its like 1030 liaox.. its really fast lah.. so ya.. so I think frm now on, I wld koe how to like manage my time to do paperwork and stuff.. =)
Then after 1030, I went upstairs to do my paperwork.. and then I got the bad news which somewhat spoil my day.. my boss told me tat I have to come back to work on 01/01/07 (which is New Year's Day) becos I have to do the stock-taking.. and I was like -_-||| immediately loh.. and you koe wat this means? I wont be able to hang out late on Sunday (31/12) for the countdown.. and man.. this yr is more special than the last, becos I get to celebrate with my long time friend, Xinyi, whom I did not see for close to a year already? haix.. so sad.. she is like seldom come back to Singapore, and now got her year end holidays and yet, this work thing has to spoil it all.. haix.. we had already make plans to like celebrate New Year's Day with the rest of our gang (andrew, ash, nat, alvin, tash, etc...).. and man.. Ain't I sad lah.. so you see.. this is another sad news loh.. I guess this news is worse than the GM issue.. but wats comforting to koe is tat I wld be paid $15 for every hr I work on 01/01/07, which cld easily take 4-6 hrs and tat is $60-$90.. so ya.. haix.. but still.. haix.. dun want to say anymore lah.. I'm like quite disappointed now liaox.. =(
Then the day went on with like nothing much at production floor.. still the same stuff.. so I stayed there for abt an hour or so, before going back up to my office to complete my paperwork.. and I'm glad to announce tat I have finished a stack of paperwork liaox, over the course of like a week.. so ya.. Now, there is even a higher pile of paperwork for me to do, which is quite simple, which is filing the appropriate records, but this needs time.. so ya.. Gonna learn how to do it frm my boss tml.. so ya..
I have been telling my friends abt this matter, and I added I think the company has employed me to help them clear their paperwork.. becos you koe me.. I simply CANT stand a pile of paper beside me, and I prefer to like clear the day's records within a day and not carry forward, so on and so forth.. so ya.. so I can clear it once and for all mahx.. so ya.. tats my character lah.. perfectionist is wat I do.. how can I change it =).. so ya..
Then I do till like the usual 1800, then I knocked off work.. then came home.. bus was super crowded as usual..
Reached home and had a magnificent and delicious dinner, then bathe and then now blogging..
Originally tml, I was supposed to like go to Nat's hse or sumthing to bake cookies.. but then, Tjow called me last minute tat the cookie thing is cancelled and instead, its going to church office to set up the Youth's room for our 1st Youth Service nxt Sat (4/11)..
Frankly speaking Tjow, I had no intentions of going down to SAC to help in the setup, becos nxt day I have to wake up bright and early and work.. remember? But oh well.. I cldnt bear to reject you, so I obliged loh.. haix.. this is the weakness of me.. =(
Then watched a bit of TV before blogging this blogpost loh..
Will surf a bit more, and then go sleep.. super tired.. need to wake up bright and early tml to work.. haix.. =(
Am I jinxed?,

I have a biological shut down mode!
Well.. today at work is like ok.. but I'm starting to feel the monotonous of the job.. and today something happened at work today.. not serious, but its enuf to spoil my whole day at work.. so probably tats why the feeling of working happy wasnt there..
However, I'm glad tat I got some really good working colleagues and some workers under my wing.. so ya.. at least tat gives me the drive to like continue working in the company, or else soon, I guess I wld quit sooner or later.. so ya..
Anyway, the following is wat happened which spoiled my whole day at work.. so read on..
As you koe, I have some paperwork to complete becos my boss asked me to check some records.. and at the same time, I got some real urgent records/reports for me to check becos its more current and its due like the day after.. so ya.. and I roughly koe wat time I've got to go down to the production floor to check on my workers and stuff.. but then, I decided to like preventing myself frm going up and down, I actually finish the more urgent records/reports and then if any mistake, I can verify with the person 1 shot mahx..
Then soon, the GM (General Manager) stepped in and like walked ard.. I koe he is someone big shot but not sure whether its the GM or not.. but juz take it as its the GM lah.. and true enuf, it is.. he juz sit there..
Shortly after, I have finished my checking of the reports and stuff, and then proceed to the production floor to verify some stuff with the workers.. and soon, I was up and my colleague asked me do I koe who tat man who sat there.. and I replied, izzit the GM? and he said ya.. so ya..
Then becos I went down the production floor and see like nothing much for me to supervise becos my workers are doing well, so I decided to go up after a while to complete a bit of my paperwork..
After a while, I received a photocopied email frm the GM abt the guidelines for executive stuff.. and for supervisors, he expects me to be at the production fllor at least 75% of my time (which is abt 6 hrs).. so ya.. and my boss had to highlight tat and told me tat this is an impt note frm GM.. I was like "is he trying to tell me tat I'm too slack?" Becos today I stayed quite a far bit in office.. so ya.. And this really like brought my mood down lah.. no mood to work liaox.. haix.. but then again, the GM cld be referring to other depts.. oh well.. I'm trying to look on the bright side though!.. so ya..
So since such commands has been passed down by the GM, I have no choice but to do my paperwork after my working hrs, which is they muz pay me overtime pay.. And I'm trying my very best to prove myself more efficiently by finishing watever is on hand (becos dun wanna carry forward and stuff).. but since such orders come down to me and I have no choice but to comply to it, so ya.. juz have to work overtime and I expect to be paid.. so ya.. So much so for my efficiency and wanna prove myself in the short span of a 6 mths probation period.. haix..
Dun say anymore.. or else, my blood wld juz boil lah..
But as I said earlier, the only thing tat brightened up my day was one super-friendly operator (apparently he is 2 yrs younger than me).. he knew I was new and he was like telling me things which I ought to koe whilst I was doing my rounds, but the best thing is tat I never asked abt it.. so ya.. quite friendly lah.. =)
Then there is another working colleague of mine.. juz b4 I left my office for home after overtime, he like tok to me, and we had a brief chat.. so ya.. hope to koe him better lah.. so ya..
Anyway, its these small and minor things which really can make my day despite something bad happen.. so ya.. and it helps tat I have short term memory too, becos I juz cant remember the bad stuff.. hahax..
Then I today worked overtime for like until 1850 then I leave office.. late huh.. tat shows how much paperwork I have to complete and ppl say it so true.. since when work can be finished.. so ya..
Oh.. I have a biological shut down mode built in my body.. my mind automatically at abt 1800, juz shuts off.. so its symptom to push myself wld be feeling extremely hungry or getting sleepy or simply having a headache.. so ya.
You shld have see how many numbers I face everyday (becos of the records).. I can safely say I'm now sensitive to nos..
And its quite bad.. as in if I see an advertisement in an office environment, I wld immediately think of work.. so you see how stressed am I.. sad rite..
Haix.. well.. its work tml again, so I guess I have to sleep now.. so tired.. waking up 15mins later than my normal waking up timing, becos I find that the time is too early.. so ya.. Ok.. enuf of my crap.. =).. Cya ppl soon and hope tml wld be a smooth day at work, with no hiccups or anything else which wld not make me happy for the rest of the day.. so ya..

Vivocity again!
Well.. ppl.. I've visited Vivocity for the second time this week, but with my family lah.. so ya.. I muz say its quite crowded.. so ya.. but tats wat makes it fun?
Anyway, today I had a quarrel/argument with my sis over some issue which I wld not state in this blog, becos lazy to type lah.. And you cld naturally see my face really changed from a happy one to a really angry/long face..
Then I was thinking who to like rant it all out, so tat I wld feel better.. and I immediately tot of confining in my bro, Andrew.. I ranted to him via sms.. and he was so sweet lah.. he actually like make me smile and laugh with his reply msgs.. he really makes my angry moment to a happy one! Thanx bro!! =)
Its always nice to have someone whom I can rant too.. so tat I wld not explode and stuff.. so ya.. =)
But wat really made me smile was a trip to Candy Empire @ Vivocity (candies apparently lift up the moods of some ppl, especially mine!.. I'm still a kid at heart huh!).. so ya.. bought 2 types of candies; eclairs & mint.. so ya.. will bring to church this sat to share with the youths lah.. but of course, wld not be all lah.. too heavy liaox.. so it wld be limited time only.. if they still want more, have to wait till nxt wk.. =).. so ya..
Then went to continue to walk Vivocity with my family.. so ya.. so we walked and walked until its time to eat dinner.. so ya.. And we went to Food Republic in Vivocity to eat lah.. its at Level 3.. so ya.. the food is much much better than the 2 foodcourts at the basement.. so if you dun koe, there are altogether 3 foodcourts in Vivocity.. and of all, I like Food Republic best! There is so much to eat and so much variety.. like the deco there too.. very rustic China feel.. so ya..
My new church venue is very near Vivocity.. so maybe sometime, the whole Generation Joshua can go to Vivocity's Food Republic to eat! ha.. =).. *hint hint*.. Tjow shld be reading this lah hor! =).. 3 foodcourts.. man! Its huge!! =)
Ha.. ok.. then took NEL and come home loh.. then on MSN (for chatting of course) and blog this blogpost at the same time.. so ya.. =)
Ok.. got to surf a bit of net, and then go sleep liaox.. Tml got work!.. so ya.. cya ppl tml loh! =)

Family time spent!
Well. ya.. I'm back.. so ya.. today didnt really do much..
Morning did some of my work stuff.. then afternoon, went to see my grandma at the old folks home, and then did some window shopping at Tampines Mall.. becos its so late liaox, so its not feasible to go to Vivocity with family (becos they have not been there b4).. so ya.. I also wanna go there again, and probably buy a watch or sumthing.. so ya..
Anyway, today didnt really do much stuff.. except to say tat I've sold my Powershot A400 for a pathetic $40 at Cash Converters.. I have actually previously successfullly bidded but then the person never got back to me.. so ya.. so I guess its either leaving it there to rot or wanna take chances.. so I decided to take a chance and sell it to cash converters.. so ya..

Morning did some of my work stuff.. then afternoon, went to see my grandma at the old folks home, and then did some window shopping at Tampines Mall.. becos its so late liaox, so its not feasible to go to Vivocity with family (becos they have not been there b4).. so ya.. I also wanna go there again, and probably buy a watch or sumthing.. so ya..
Anyway, today didnt really do much stuff.. except to say tat I've sold my Powershot A400 for a pathetic $40 at Cash Converters.. I have actually previously successfullly bidded but then the person never got back to me.. so ya.. so I guess its either leaving it there to rot or wanna take chances.. so I decided to take a chance and sell it to cash converters.. so ya..

What a memorable Anniversary!
The 80's (which explains the afro hairdos and the various dress modes!)
Hey ppl! the main reason why I blog today for yesterday's church anniversary @ York Hotel was becos I was so so tired by the time I reach home.. so ya.. read on to koe my activites.. so ya.. =)
Woke up as usual yesterday.. then online for a while, before my bro, Andrew, said he wanted to meet me.. so I agreed.. so I took the bus and met him at Far East Plaza but of course, I was slightly late for the music practice lah.. becos cant blame me.. The bus was slow.. so ya..
Then I tell you.. I was really tired during the rehearsal.. dun koe why.. maybe I didnt have lunch or sumthing..
Then the service start at York Hotel and it was ok lah.. but the best part starts after the service.. its the food and fellowship.. and as usual, we, the Youths were playful.. and of course, I took some photos.. go to Photo Gallery > Church(OCC/HCC/GJ) Events > OCC 18th Anniversary @ York Hotel (21/10/06) Photos!.. its uploaded liaox..
Well, the pic you see on the left are 2 of my closest brothers (Ash & Andrew) in my church lah.. so ya.. Ash & Andrew both look like those typical Japanese schoolboys.. then of course, with my dressing, it was a bit of a "metro" feel.. ha.. Juz love the colour combination! =).. Pink top with white linen! Fwah! best!! =).. So ya.. took a photo with both of them loh.. we look so urban-ish? ha.. wats missing is a kawaii-neh pose! haha.. =P
Then this pic you see on the right here, is one work of Joshua Gouw! I'm gonna get ya for this! If you see carefully, he is despo enuf to play with my t*ts! hahax.. super cheeky Joshua! I'm gonna get ya for this.. and guess who took this photo! It was deborah! It was like I was expecting tat she wld be quite slow or not take this photo, but in the end, she took.. man.. she was fast! haha.. I know this picture looks a bit disgusting, but all in the name of fun mah! =) but seriously, its really pain lah! Try tat urself and u'll koe!
Yesterday was actually a very good photo opportunity since everyone was in a weird dress-do as well as everyone was happy and all.. so ya.. its been a long while since I've taken photos as well as enjoyed myself so much! =).. Yesterday's anniversary is one event which makes me so happy lah! =)
So after the Anniversary, the youths went on separate ways.. and I was suppose to follow Ash & Andrew to go and watch "The Prestidge", but somehow there was a bit of miscommunication, and in the end, I followed Tjow, Claudia, Catherine, Ryan, Deborah & Alvin to Vivocity.. and man oh man! It was a huge mall! I think I wld take quite a while to finish shopping the whole mall.. But the open deck was very nice.. you shld go there and experience yourself to koe wat I mean.. but if you mind the smell frm the ventilator/roof ducts from the kitchen of fast food joints and stuff, then I suggest you dun visit it, becos the smell is strong lah! But the place is super nice.. so ya.. =)
So we walked at Vivocity, but sadly still have not shop finish! I'm actually aiming for an Adidas sweater.. so ya.. its $119 leh!.. so ya.. muz save loh to buy it.. so anyone of you out there wanna buy a early Christmas present for me? haha.. *hint hint*..
We ended off the nite with intentions to go to East Coast for supper (and tat was abt 2300 liaox!), but then Claudia and her baby was tired.. so ya.. so in the end, didnt go, and Tjow and Ryan gave the rest of us to go to Tiong Bahru Plaza MacDonald's to meet our parents.. then guess wat.. I saw Ash & Andrew.. with Tash and Jon.. then I was like I tot tat they went to hannah's hse and then still come.. but then Ash told me tat Hannah's mum didnt allow, so they went to watch the movie.. so ya.. haix.. bo jio.. but anyway, heard the movie is those thinking kind, so I didn't want to waste my money to watch a movie which muz think one.. I tat lazy hor..
So by the time reach home, its abt 0030 liaox.. I bathe and then Tjow was like wanting me to send him the photos I took at the Anniversary, becos I think he got a deadline to meet or sumthing.. so after I was done and want to turn in for the nite, it was already 0300.. haix..
Ok lah.. gtg liaox.. got to get out of the hse to see my grandma and after which, spend some family time together.. so ya.. =)
Spending my weekends to the max,

My actual job starts today!
First and foremost, I have to clarify things tat this blog is supposed to be yesterday's (20/10), however, by the time I come home and want to blog, its over midnight liaox.. so ya.. and automatically, it changes the date.. so ya.. so dun be confused ya.. =)
Anyway, today's job is like the thing which I really started my job proper.. with my supervising duties and all.. I was very scared initially, becos you imagine a *ahem* small boy of only 22 yrs old, telling/commanding someone who is either is only a few yrs older then me but got quite a number of experience, or someone who is really much much older than me.. and I really mean 20-30 yrs difference in age! So ya..
(This sounds so much like the dilemma of a NSF officer telling a warrant officer what to do!) <-- why am I comparing it to SAF again? haix..
So I was partly like cannot stay at office the whole day, becos I think my boss expects me to like be on the production floor most of the time, unless there are paperwork to be done.. so ya.. So tats wat I did..
The initial telling/commanding was a bit awkward, but after a while, I got used to it liaox.. But of course, its not in a rude way.. its more like friend friend like tat.. so ya..
Then after checking and the production closes for the day, guess wat! I have to do OT again.. becos there are some paperwork for me to do.. so ya.. checking records lah.. and for the first time, I'm checking it so carefully, becos I'm respobnsible for them, as it bears my signature on the paper.. so once I sign, its considered ok and if anything goes wrong, they would look for me.. so ya..
Anyway, my Malay colleague is on Hari Raya leave, so guess wat.. I have to cover his duties.. including his checking of records.. and ha.. I managed to spot 3 mistake (on different documents) which he apparently approved.. but anyway, its not confirm tat its a mistake.. I have to check out with the workers on Monday (22/10).. so ya..
So ya.. tat was my day at work lah.. its not as tiring as when at the first day of work (Thurs - 19/10).. so ya.. probably I had enuf sleep bah.. so ya.. but the records checking really make my head spin and eyes super tired and heavy.. so ya.. but no choice.. this is my job.. so ya..
And finally today, I finally understand why do I have to read so much on the first day at work (19/10), becos I think my boss wants me to like be able to do the job independently as soon as possible, becos he is very busy himself as well.. so ya.. so tat explains why he called me to check the records all by myself and if anything I dun koe, ask him and stuff.. and clarify with him if necessary..
Then at 1830, I asked my boss if he has anything for me to do, becos I told him tat if he have nothing for me to do, then I have to go becos I got an appt (its true tat I have appt mahx, becos going to Nat's hse to bake the cookies).. so ya.. and thank God, he let me go lah..
So I took a bus and mrt to Nat's hse.. and of course, I got lost and stop the wrong bus-stop.. and in the end, I have to like walk another 1km or so to his hse.. so ya.. Had Mac for dinner loh.. so as I walk, I ate my dinner.. haha..
But they were so fast.. by the time I reached there, they are done and almost finish wrapping.. haha.. so ya.. but the cookies were world-best lah! Much much better than last yr, including the packing.. so ya.. =).. Thanx guys for your help in making this cooking-baking session possible.. and also, to my bro, Andrew, thanx 4 contacting so many ppl to come and help! I didnt expect tat many ppl turn up! haha.. =)
Then when we go back, I was telling Alvin the whole long story of wat happened at work and stuff.. and he also agreed with me tat my job really sounds like wat my sgt/officer do in NS.. so ya.. haix.. what a comparison.. =(
Ok lah.. I gtg and sleep liaox.. so tired.. believe it or not.. I'm typing this with my eyes half-closed! hahax.. need to wake up early tml becos got lots of stuff to complete and do, before I go for church anniversary at York Hotel later in the afternoon.. so ya.. tiring and busy day tml.. so ya..
Got to run peepz.. Cya!! =)

A new chapter unfolds..
Yes ppl! I've started work today!! And thanx 4 all the well-wishes (to wish me all the best and stuff) from my friends and all.. Thanx! You all are greatly appreciated! =)
And many ppl who koe me asked how is my first day at work.. so I told them to refer to my blog, so I can assume tat today's blogpost wld be highly read! wahaha...
Anyway, wat I can abt my first day at work is 2 words.. Stress & information-overload! here are the details..
Woke up at 0530 and surprisingly, I was awake even though I had only 5 hrs of sleep last nite (my usual is 8 hrs!).. Bathe and stuff.. and by 0630, I was out of the hse.. guess wat! I reached my workplace at 0700, when my working hrs start at 0730!
(I was in a bus filled with PLAB regulars and NSFs, and u shld have seen how smug I was.. ha.. I felt like showing them my pink IC.. how evil am I rite.. whahaa)
So wat I did was to cross over and go to the coffee-shop to have a cup of teh-siu-dai (which is tea with less condensed milk) and juz relax a while.. At the same time, I was a bit frightened, as in I dun koe wat to expect and stuff..
So by 0725, I crossed back over to my workplace and called my superior (the acting assitant production manager).. so he met me and gave me an orientation.. I was like being passed to another person, and he worked in the company for 18 yrs liaox, and he is juz 1 post higher than me.. so ya.. so he brought me around and guess wat.. I saw 2 of my poly classmates, Shanshan & Aimei! haha.. wat a coincidence huh! =).. They were in different department frm me.. they are in QC lah, but work very close with my department too, so ya.. so sure meet up with each other often one.. ha.. so ya.. such a surprise..
Then the day went on, where I was being brought to the admin building to settle some administration matters on my pay and stuff.. and also had a chat with the HR manager, where she told me lots of things of how to perfom my duty well and stuff.. so ya..
Then after which, I went back to my building and got more briefing by my superior.. so ya.. after which, he passed me 2 files to read.. he wanted me to read on those articles which he helped me to bookmark, and mind u, tat was already 1300 and I have NOT had my lunch yet! But becos I dun want to like be impatient or sumthing, I waited till my superior like call me to go lunch with him, then I go.. by the time I eat my lunch, it was 1330.. so ya..
And I somehow regretted I had such a late lunch.. I think nxt time (in fact tml) I'm gonna have bee hoon for breakfast or sumthing, becos if this goes on (which I have only light breakfast at home), I wld juz faint or die of hunger lah!.. so ya..
Coincidentally, I had lunch at the SAME coffee shop where I had my kopi-siu-dai.. ha.. and I wanted to pay for my lunch, but my superior paid for me instead.. so sweet rite.. ha..
Then when go back, its somemore reading.. I initially tot tat I wld be able to knock off work at 1600 (which is my standard timing), but then, my superior told me tat becos I'm new, he wants me to learn everything as soon as possible, so I dun need to rely on him so much.. so he wants me to like do OT for a mth or sumthing.. so ya.. so can you believe it tat juz today (which is my FIRST day of work), I've done already like almost 3 hrs of OT!.. so I knocked off at work at abt 1900 instead of 1600.. so ya.. And according to him, he said he wld request to the accounts department to pay me overtime pay.. so ya.. hope its true lah, or else I work for nothing!.. so ya.. But I tell you, its real shacked! Becos
And oh.. tell you ah.. I think nxt time I wld speak Mandarin more than English, becos my working environment (or shld I say my staff/subodinates) mainly constitutes Malaysians & China nationals.. so ya.. so I think Mandarin wld be an appropriate language to converse with them, since I work with them very closely.. so ya..
Then dialects are also spoken too, but I only understand them.. but of course, I hope tat I can learn Cantonese real soon.. or at least for a start, understand it! Becos I always like Cantonese and I'm trying to master the dialect, but to no avail.. haix..
Then came home at 1930 feeling real shacked and hungry! Ate dinner.. and then on the computer and blog this blogpost loh..
Then at the same time of typing this blog, I'm talking on the phone with my BEST bro in camp, Sidney (see Sidney.. how honoured of you to be mentioned in my blog.. I still never draw line ok.. not like u said.. wahaha).. Sidney as usual rant his grievances over camp and personal matters to me, and I offered a listening ear lah.. so ya.. though there were lots of suaning by him (becos tats how we talk), but it was enjoyable.. dun koe why.. =).. Probably tats you lah, and I know you so well.. its also like talking to an old good friend.. =)
Then after he put down the call, I'm still on this blog and also at the same time, chat with a few ppl on MSN.. one of which is to tell my bro in church, Andrew, abt tml's cookie baking session at Nat's place for Sat's church anniversary at York Hotel and at the same time, help me to coordinate names and stuff of who's coming to help and stuff.. so ya.. Thanx bro for helping! =) Your help is greatly appreciated! =)
Ok lah.. I gtg and sleep liaox.. tml is really gonna be another long day at work.. gonna be at the production floor I think the whole day or sumthing.. so ya.. need to sleep early also, so as to catch up on my past sleep and also to prevent myself frm dozing off whilst reading essential reading materials.. haha.. which I almost did today at work.. Too much reading liaox, which also cause my head to ache.. guess its information overload.. so ya..
Ok.. gtg liaox.. its 2300 and I think its still not enuf.. ahhh.. so ya.. Me going to la-la-land and off to Marigold for work tml, and after work, go Nat's hse to help in the baking.. wa.. super tiring day tml.. so ya.. got to sleep now! Ciaox ppl! =)
Stressful but challenging job awaits,

ORD loh!!
Hey ppl! I've got my pinkie (aka Pink IC) liaox! Yay! ha..
First thing first, thank you all ppl for all the well wishes tat you have given me for my ORD..
But wats best is the following SMS whom I receive from my BMT section mate, Dennis.. it was really creative and sweet.. so I wld like to share it with you all.. so here it is:
"LAN gaming @ East Coast: $7.70; Renting skates @ East Coast Park: $20.00; Beer at Harry's: $13.00; R21 movies @ GV: $10.00.. Identifying yourself in a brand new way: Priceless.. There are so many things money can buy, but to truly define your unique persona, there's the Singapore Pink Identity Card.. Exclusive to all ORD personnel everywhere - get yours at your S1 branch (aka Admin branch) today! Happy ORD fellow Viperlite.. The day has finally come.. Finally come."
Ha.. so sweet rite.. =)
Anyway, this morning I was praying very hard tat the process wld be a smooth-sailing one, however during midway, I met with some problems and for a moment, I thought tat I cldn't take my IC today, which of course I wld be very sad if this is so..
Lazy to type and explain in this blog lah.. but anyway, I collected my IC with Samuel (frm my clique who is from the same BMT company, Viper, but different platoon.. so ya.) today.. so both of us are like quite happy tat we got our ICs back, though the process takes abt 3 hrs.. so ya.. becos the ppl who needs to sign the clearance was not there and stuff.. so ya..
And I tell you.. I was sweating like a pig lah.. and its the only time where 1 day, I walk so many times to and fro from bunk to Base HQ and vice versa.. ha.. So does tat considered as a good exercise? ha..
Anyway, when I saw my pink IC being taken out from the drawer, I was like "wow! at last!" haha.. but after tat, the feeling subsided liaox.. but whenever I see my pink IC, I somewhat will feel attached to it! haha..
Then I got a call from Boon Sen to like accompany him to go checkup at Orchard.. I was like ok loh.. but after I reached home (it was still too early after I left camp, so I came home first), I felt super tired, and I was so tempted to turn down Boon Sen's offer to go out, but I felt tat its not rite lah.. so I somewhat force myself to go loh.. haix..
So when I reach Orchard and meet Boon Sen, I saw Hock Soon.. haha.. so it was a pleasant surprise.. but then, Boon Sen didnt do his medical checkup in the end becos of the lack of some official documents.. so ya.. haix..
So in the end, 3 of us decided to go catch a movie.. We walked to Cineleisure and wanted to watch "Death Note" but then it is opening tml, so no sneak previews.. haix.. so in the end, we had to settle for "You, Me & Dupree".. the show was a so-so lah.. romantic comedy plots.. there were some funny moments but I really didnt enjoy it becos I was so tired.. In fact, I slept in the cinema during certain parts of the show! Pathetic rite? Tat was how tired I was lah!.. so ya.. haix..
Then after which, I went to my new church venue/office for the weekly prayer mtg.. reached there quite early, so I went to the nearby Tanjong Pagar market to buy dinner.. I wanted to eat the famous hokkien mee there, but close liaox.. so ya.. so not much stalls.. I wanted to settle for soupy stuff, but think eating it wld be quite difficult.. so ya.. so in the end, I ate sinful stuff (char siew and roasted pork rice).. so ya.. I added rice but then the stallowner was so nice as not to charge me extra money, becos I think the stall is closing liaox, so he wants to sell finish his rice.. so ya..
So I went to church office and ate it loh.. not bad lah, but a bit salty though.. so to balance and remove tat guilt of eating so fatty food despite my determination to slim down, I drank fresh ice lemon tea.. so ya.. so at least to "kill" some of the fats.. hahax.. =P..

Excited abt my job tml @ Marigold,
<<< abriel >>>
First thing first, thank you all ppl for all the well wishes tat you have given me for my ORD..
But wats best is the following SMS whom I receive from my BMT section mate, Dennis.. it was really creative and sweet.. so I wld like to share it with you all.. so here it is:
"LAN gaming @ East Coast: $7.70; Renting skates @ East Coast Park: $20.00; Beer at Harry's: $13.00; R21 movies @ GV: $10.00.. Identifying yourself in a brand new way: Priceless.. There are so many things money can buy, but to truly define your unique persona, there's the Singapore Pink Identity Card.. Exclusive to all ORD personnel everywhere - get yours at your S1 branch (aka Admin branch) today! Happy ORD fellow Viperlite.. The day has finally come.. Finally come."
Ha.. so sweet rite.. =)
Anyway, this morning I was praying very hard tat the process wld be a smooth-sailing one, however during midway, I met with some problems and for a moment, I thought tat I cldn't take my IC today, which of course I wld be very sad if this is so..
Lazy to type and explain in this blog lah.. but anyway, I collected my IC with Samuel (frm my clique who is from the same BMT company, Viper, but different platoon.. so ya.) today.. so both of us are like quite happy tat we got our ICs back, though the process takes abt 3 hrs.. so ya.. becos the ppl who needs to sign the clearance was not there and stuff.. so ya..
And I tell you.. I was sweating like a pig lah.. and its the only time where 1 day, I walk so many times to and fro from bunk to Base HQ and vice versa.. ha.. So does tat considered as a good exercise? ha..
Anyway, when I saw my pink IC being taken out from the drawer, I was like "wow! at last!" haha.. but after tat, the feeling subsided liaox.. but whenever I see my pink IC, I somewhat will feel attached to it! haha..
Then I got a call from Boon Sen to like accompany him to go checkup at Orchard.. I was like ok loh.. but after I reached home (it was still too early after I left camp, so I came home first), I felt super tired, and I was so tempted to turn down Boon Sen's offer to go out, but I felt tat its not rite lah.. so I somewhat force myself to go loh.. haix..
So when I reach Orchard and meet Boon Sen, I saw Hock Soon.. haha.. so it was a pleasant surprise.. but then, Boon Sen didnt do his medical checkup in the end becos of the lack of some official documents.. so ya.. haix..
So in the end, 3 of us decided to go catch a movie.. We walked to Cineleisure and wanted to watch "Death Note" but then it is opening tml, so no sneak previews.. haix.. so in the end, we had to settle for "You, Me & Dupree".. the show was a so-so lah.. romantic comedy plots.. there were some funny moments but I really didnt enjoy it becos I was so tired.. In fact, I slept in the cinema during certain parts of the show! Pathetic rite? Tat was how tired I was lah!.. so ya.. haix..
Then after which, I went to my new church venue/office for the weekly prayer mtg.. reached there quite early, so I went to the nearby Tanjong Pagar market to buy dinner.. I wanted to eat the famous hokkien mee there, but close liaox.. so ya.. so not much stalls.. I wanted to settle for soupy stuff, but think eating it wld be quite difficult.. so ya.. so in the end, I ate sinful stuff (char siew and roasted pork rice).. so ya.. I added rice but then the stallowner was so nice as not to charge me extra money, becos I think the stall is closing liaox, so he wants to sell finish his rice.. so ya..
So I went to church office and ate it loh.. not bad lah, but a bit salty though.. so to balance and remove tat guilt of eating so fatty food despite my determination to slim down, I drank fresh ice lemon tea.. so ya.. so at least to "kill" some of the fats.. hahax.. =P..
Prayer mtg was ok lah.. and its the first time where I pray, the words juz flow out of my mouth and I dun koe how it happened! Ha.. somehow, bombastic words juz came out during prayer, which I didnt experience before.. haha.. muz be the Spirit's annointing! =)
Prayer mtg ended and Carlise gave me a lift home loh.. Once reached home, I began to busy packing for tml's working stuff.. and then bathe and now blog loh.. so ya..
Ok lah.. I gtg liaox.. had to wake up at 0530 tml again, becos my work starts at 0730, and tml is my FIRST day of work at Marigold.. so ya.. Juz hope everything goes smoothly tml lah! =)
Ok.. its close to midnight liaox and I need to sleep liaox.. can't blog further or else tml I wld be a zombie.. haha..

Shacked!
Ok.. I tell you ppl.. I'm really super shacked!! Shacked to the core lah.. I never had been so tired before.. Its as if I've done 24 hrs of duty without sleeping.. so ya.. haix..
Anyway, here is my brief update:
Monday (16/10/06)
Went to church office to pack the stuff.. and actually there was nothing to pack.. its more of computers, removing wires, and stuff.. so ya.. practically I was a telecommunications man packer yesterday lah.. so I packed literally from 1300-2130.. and I tell you.. I was super shacked! I juz didnt koe why.. probably its the frequent late nites, but haix..
Came home, bathe and then I go sleep liaox, becos the next morning (17/10) need to wake up early for somemore packing at my old church venue and unpacking at my new church venue.. so ya..
So ya.. so tats why I never blog yesterday loh!
Tuesday (17/10/06)
This morning woke up at 0630.. and then I bathe.. and my dad and I were off in a bus to meet aunty agnes for breakfast near her place, and 3 of us then took cab to my old church venue.. so ya..
When we went there, I didnt do much.. juz instruct the movers where move to where and stuff.. so ya.. My church pay money to them to do ALL the moving, so I'm juz gonna sit back and relax and instruct loh.. so ya..
My other bro in church, Alvin, came to help also.. so ya.. at least got 1 youth to help and talk too.. ha.. or else a bit bored.. ha..
So afternoon after all the moving, lunch was at Tanjong Pagar Market.. and it was good lah.. After so long, I managed to eat the "Annie's Peanut Ice Kachang!".. super nice lah.. now I koe.. I want to eat very easy.. near my new church only, which is also my dad's new office.. so ya.. Then lunch also ate char kway teow under the recommendation from aunty agnes (she's the food queen man, and both of us have similar food taste!) .. very nice.. sinful food always taste nice! haha.. you shld try it.. its the original char kway teow, and the kway teow they used is not the normal ones, but its the kway teow used to cook ipoh hor fun.. so ya.. so very nice =)
After lunch, all of us (including Tjow who joined us for lunch) went back to the office, and guess wat.. Alvin & I was our first time in setting up a computer (as in plug in monitor, etc.. so ya.. and both of us were setting up the computers/telephones (which is again telecommunications.. which I think I'm really a telecommunications line person.. wahhaa) for our youth worker as well as for our pastor of the church.. so ya.. both of us felt quite an achievement lah, and I joked tat if we ever need of us, we can do part-time.. haha..
Anyway, the best thing tat can happen to the setting up was Tjow lah, becos he is the one who makes the internet work (as in he set up the modem and stuff).. which I think if you let me do it, I wld juz dun koe how to do and stare at it lah.. haha.. I neevr understood all these.. so ya.. So thank Tjow! You have been a great help! Alvin and I wld not have access the net without your help! Your help is very much appreciated! =)
So ya.. after finish those stuff (setup and all), all of us proceed to Tiong Bahru for some zhi-char.. the food not bad.. all under the compliments of aunty ann.. thanx =)
Came home, bathe and now blog loh.. and at the same time, chatting with some of my friends on MSN.. some of which were my army mates, as well as also a mission-trip mate whom I didnt chat with him on MSN since I've entered NS.. haha.. =).. Its been enjoyable lah!
However, I need to sleep soon.. becos tml need to go back camp early to sign the last few clearances, before I collect my pink IC tml.. so ya..
Ha.. I think I'm gonna be the happiest man in the world tml lah! ORD is such a good feeling, but then, its also a sad thing too, esp. for sentimental ppl like me.. haix..
A few mths ago, I was thinking wat wld I do on my ORD day? And now, it has finally come! In fact, I'm like 9-10 hrs away from collecting my pink IC! =)..
Ok.. I shall chat a bit more, before sleeping early becos need to wake up at 0645 tml.. haix.. so early but oh well.. for my IC I dun mind..
** I'm still counting down the days LEFT to serve.. its 1 DAY to ORD!!
Pink IC, here I come!!!,

Another buffet dinner.. =P
Surprisingly, I woke up myself at 1000 this morning.. so ya..
Parents bought MacDonald's breakfast (though I didnt like it!) and ate it loh! My mum bought black coffee for me, instead of tea.. I was like drinking it as if it was some bitter medicine! I put 3 pkts of sugar in, but it still doesnt cover up the sourish and bitter taste of the coffee.. haix..
Then I continue with a bit of my publicity stuff, before I bathe and got out of the hse for music practice at my new church venue.. I left my hse with my dad (as my dad also needs to go for music practice).. so we met A. Agnes at the bus-stop before taking a common bus, and its always weird, becos she somehow can like always time it so 'zhun' tat she always can meet us without her waiting so long.. fwah! This is wat I call good time management.. hahax..
We reached there but no one was there yet, so I whipped out my publicity stuff and do again.. At abt 1400, some ppl came and there was like suddenly a big dispute and stuff going on.. haix.. but after tat, the dispute subsided and everyone was back to their happy selves again.. ha.. =)
U. Andrew then gave my dad and I a lift to Suntec City, as we are going there with my mum and sis for some friend's birthday celebration dinner.. so ya.. but we have to wait for my mum and sis to appear mahx, becos when we called, they are still at home.. so ya.. So my dad and I went to Starbucks @ Suntec, to have a light snack and some coffee and at the same time, do my publicity stuff.. so ya..
Then my sis and mum came and they helped a bit, then we proceed to Marina Square for some shopping.. but in the end, nothing.. so ya..
Then went back to Suntec to have steamboat buffet for dinner to celebrate the birthday for my mum and dad's friend mah.. so ya..
Then came home, and see how my new computer is doing, becos apparently, everything has been done by my computer technician in the afternoon liaox, and all is done.. so ya.. Thank God.. so now, I'm running close to 200 GB of hard-disk space..
Then now, Im surfing the web as well as do this blogpost for today loh..
My plans for tml is wake up and do a bit of my publicity stuff (still have not finish, but I think I can finish within an hour.. so ya..), and then go to church office to help in the packing for Tues to the new place.. so ya..
Ok.. gtg and surf a bit more, and then its me off to lala land.. so ya.. ha.. cya ppl tml then! =)
** I'm still counting down the days LEFT to serve.. its 4 DAYS to ORD!!

Youth Camp Meeting a success =)
Hey! I've decided tat its so tedious to keep on updating the PSI index.. a bit lazy lah.. =P..
Anyway, this morning was spent like playing the piano and stuff.. Woke up quite late this morning.. so ya.. I'm beginning to be like a pig liaox..
Then after which, I went to weigh myself and I was shocked! I have gained 1kg! You ppl muz have think that 1kg exclaim until like tat.. wats the big deal? Ppl, this 1kg increase is actually very impt, becos by putting on this 1kg, I have juz reach over the healthy BMI and start to go to being overweight.. I'm was completely terrified by tat extra 1kg.. Cannot! I muz lose tat 1kg, or else, I wld gain another kilogram soon.. so ya.. Shall see wat I can do lah!
Then bathe and went to church loh with my mum in a cab, becos both of us are in charge of setting up the chairs and stuff in church.. so ya..
Church went on juz fine, and I got a really unexpected question being brought forth to me during church.. and of course, this is of all confidentiality.. so ya.. I wont reveal in this blog lah! =)..
After church is done, helped out in the packing of musical equipments and stuff, becos we are moving liaox mahx.. so ya..
After packing, went with the Youths to Meridian to have dinner, and man! I eat so much tat I felt like I was a pig lah! haha.. I ate the following:
(a) 1 plate of Fried Udon
(b) 1 bowl of DIY dessert (nata de coco, sea coconut [thnx bro, Andrew, for reminding me the combo muz include sea coconut], and mango puree)
(c) 1 bowl of fishball soup with some vegetables.
Items (a) & (b), I had for dinner.. Item (c) was a last minute thingy, becos I've got craving for fishballs.. wahaha.. (Ash, u muz be grinning ear to ear rite?).. The fishballs really taste yummy and they are so springy! They taste succulent too! One bite and the yummy juices of the fishball juz ooze out.. =).. (Ash, dun laugh I warn ya!)..
Then we had Youth Camp mtg and of course, I took the most time to discuss lah.. Altogether, I took abt half-an-hour for juz my publicity thingy.. haha.. and not forgetting I was in a state of slight shock after receiving some bad news.. so ya.. haix.. nevermind.. dun wish to brood it up the subject again..
And can u believe it? The haze level did reach up to unhealthy levels of 115 (highest PSI index for today).. haix.. I was telling Deborah how come its always Saturdays tat the haze level would be so bad.. so ya.. haix.. but nevertheless, I still see so many ppl on Orchard.. ha..
And yes.. one look at the haze yesterday at Orchard, I would have known tat the haze level muz be quite bad, but it was really unexpected tat the PSI was 104 when I first steop into Meridian at abt 2000 hrs.. haix..
So by the time the Youth Camp mtg ended, it was about 2300 liaox! So after which, I went home by NEL train..
When I reached home, I didnt bathe.. so ya.. instead, I did some publicity item which is due nxt Fri (20/10).. so ya.. And I didnt finish till 0230.. and now have to write this blog.. super sleepy loh.. ok lah.. I better go and sleep liaox..
Tml have to wake up like 1000, eat breakfast and get ready to go to my new church venue for music practice at 1330.. ok lah..
Oops.. now 0245 liaox.. I better go sleep or else ah, cannot wake up tml.. nitex!
** I'm still counting down the days LEFT to serve.. its 5 DAYS to ORD!!
Tired,

So now getting on with my blogpost for today..
This morning I dun koe how come I suddenly woke up at 0700.. My aim is at 0800.. haix.. anyway, I still like sleep till my alarm rings at 0800... ha..
Then ate my breakfast and then bathe, and then went back to camp to sign clearance.. But something weird happen though.. I was somewhat lost, like wat bus to take to camp and stuff, I forgot liaox.. oh man.. Am I getting senile or sumthing? hmm..
Then when I abt to reach camp, Boon Sen called me and asked me where I was and stuff.. So I told him, and he said he want to wait for me, becos he dun want to walk up the long road (aka Toranto) all by himself.. so ya.. So I accompanied him lah, but halfway, kokwei took cab and then he fetch us up the long road (aka Toranto).. so ya.. Thanx ah =)
Then of course becos I have return my pass already, I actually went to change pass, and guess wat! It felt so good being the one changing for a visitor pass! haha.. Last time was I change pass for ppl, but the tables are being turned around now.. so ya.. the feeling is different lah.. you muz change then u koe.. ha.. =)
Then I saw some familiar faces (like Mingjun) and chatted with him.. from him, then I koe the mounting system change and stuff.. so ya.. it sounds more shiong, but according to him, it is much better.. at least they have alternate weekends free.. so ya.. tats wat they told me.. At least I'm glad the upper management has done something for the RPs on the ground! Kudos to them! =)
So there we (Boon Sen, myself, Kokwei, Samuel & Yizhou) went round the whole base to sign our clearances.. so ya.. Had a sweaty body after tat.. the weather was hot lah!
Then as we are about to sign our last third signature, one of the NSF who is in charge of checking the stuff before the clearance can be signed, told us tat the system is down and we are to come back another day.. I told the person cannot wait liaox, becos we are ORD-ing soon liaox.. but then he said he can do nothing.. so we decided to sign tat particular signature on the day of ORD.. so ya.. no choice.. haix.. =)
Then all of us except Kokwei, went to Yishun's Burger King to eat lunch.. Then we had a good time catching up with one another (like giving each an update of what each of us are doing at home/work, etc).. so ya.. However, when we finish our lunch, we dun koe where to go liaox, so we went our separate ways, and its a bit sad lah (becos today is probably the last time we are mtg each other, becos after we ORD, we dun koe when we will meet again!).. so ya..

0000 - PSI Index: 46 (Good)
So now getting on with my blogpost for today..
This morning I dun koe how come I suddenly woke up at 0700.. My aim is at 0800.. haix.. anyway, I still like sleep till my alarm rings at 0800... ha..
Then ate my breakfast and then bathe, and then went back to camp to sign clearance.. But something weird happen though.. I was somewhat lost, like wat bus to take to camp and stuff, I forgot liaox.. oh man.. Am I getting senile or sumthing? hmm..
Then when I abt to reach camp, Boon Sen called me and asked me where I was and stuff.. So I told him, and he said he want to wait for me, becos he dun want to walk up the long road (aka Toranto) all by himself.. so ya.. So I accompanied him lah, but halfway, kokwei took cab and then he fetch us up the long road (aka Toranto).. so ya.. Thanx ah =)
Then of course becos I have return my pass already, I actually went to change pass, and guess wat! It felt so good being the one changing for a visitor pass! haha.. Last time was I change pass for ppl, but the tables are being turned around now.. so ya.. the feeling is different lah.. you muz change then u koe.. ha.. =)
Then I saw some familiar faces (like Mingjun) and chatted with him.. from him, then I koe the mounting system change and stuff.. so ya.. it sounds more shiong, but according to him, it is much better.. at least they have alternate weekends free.. so ya.. tats wat they told me.. At least I'm glad the upper management has done something for the RPs on the ground! Kudos to them! =)
So there we (Boon Sen, myself, Kokwei, Samuel & Yizhou) went round the whole base to sign our clearances.. so ya.. Had a sweaty body after tat.. the weather was hot lah!
Then as we are about to sign our last third signature, one of the NSF who is in charge of checking the stuff before the clearance can be signed, told us tat the system is down and we are to come back another day.. I told the person cannot wait liaox, becos we are ORD-ing soon liaox.. but then he said he can do nothing.. so we decided to sign tat particular signature on the day of ORD.. so ya.. no choice.. haix.. =)
Then all of us except Kokwei, went to Yishun's Burger King to eat lunch.. Then we had a good time catching up with one another (like giving each an update of what each of us are doing at home/work, etc).. so ya.. However, when we finish our lunch, we dun koe where to go liaox, so we went our separate ways, and its a bit sad lah (becos today is probably the last time we are mtg each other, becos after we ORD, we dun koe when we will meet again!).. so ya.. We have been friends for almost 1.5 yrs liaox, and we have gone thru thick and thin together in NS.. so ya.. but haix.. better not say anymore, or else I wld cry loh.. knowing me the sentimental type one.. haix..
Oh.. we have like make simple plans like end of nxt mth, we are gonna meet up for dinner at Kuishinbo! hahahx.. we juz love tat restaurant.. so we shall see how loh.. see whether this can be a reality! =) Hope this can be true lah! =)

0000 - PSI Index: 43 (Good)
Today really do much lah! Except tat after so long, I managed to get out of the house and watch a movie! Oh man! Its been ages since I watched one lah! It was a last minute thing though..
I was surfing the net, and in mind, I want to watch Rob-B-Hood (a production of Jackie Chan), but no kakki to watch so ya..
Just then, Boon Sen came online, and then I asked him, and surprisingly, he agreed! So ya.. so we made plans what time to meet and stuff.. then I told my mum tat I wld be going out even though my computer technician coming over to my hse at abt 1600-1700.. so ya.. she advice me not to, becos she dun koe anything abt computer and if my computer technician needs me, it wld be difficult! so ya.. Then my sis at home also, but she was unwilling to help.. I had a quarrel with my sis in the afternoon becos of this matter lah.. arghh.. dun remind me of the incident anymore! dun want to say.. I ranted over MSN to Boon Sen liaox!!.. Much thanx to Boon Sen for hearing my rant as well as also be my movie kakki! =)
So I still went over to watch the movie.. We went to Junction 8's Golden Village, as the place had our appropriate time and we both stay quite near, so get home shld be easy, rather than going to town.. so ya.. =)..
And I muz say the movie is worth every cent of my $7!! Its funny, action and touching at the same time.. You shld go catch it! =).. If you like babies, this is the show for ya, becos the baby is really zou cuuuttteeee..... ok.. I shall stop.. haha.. the cinema was fully packed btw, and its half-filled with gals, so u can imagine how "sweet" the atmosphere was whenever the baby is shown onscreen.. wahaha.. So ya.. and the running time for the show is 125 minutes.. very worth it too! This is also the FIRST time tat I've seen the famous HongKong actor, Louis Koo (aka Gu Tian Le) doing stunts juz like Jackie Chan.. ok.. maybe not to the extreme extent, but its good enuf liaox! So ya..
For this movie, I give it 4 out of 5 stars! Oh.. the story plot is quite simple and predictable, but the action and the funniness of the movie makes it so enjoyable to watch it over and over again! =).. so go catch it ya!
And oh.. there are 3 guest appearances as well.. you watch the movie then u koe.. and surprisingly, all the 3 guest appearances in the show all are those weird weird characters like gay, person who stummer, etc.. so ya.. I like the gay character best (acted by Daniel Wu - which is of course a guest appearance!).. You have to watch it to koe wat I'm toking abt! =).. shall not spoil the fun further! =)
Then I came home and was so surprised tat my computer technician is still working with my computer, and he seemed to have a problem.. after much deduction, he had said it cld be some problem either with my motherboard or my hard-disk.. so ya.. lots of problems.. lazy to explain.. but anyway, in summary, is tat he install the hard-disk, then my dvd-rom can't work, and vice versa! so ya.. so he is coming again on Sunday morning to do my computer loh.. so in the meantime, he only installed my dvd-rom and man! its good lah! haha.. I can finally read dvd! haha.. but then my cd-rom drive can't read.. haix.. so the only thing tat is surviving is my old 40GB hard-disk as well as my DVD-rom..
Then after my computer technician tried on my computer for 4 hrs, he gave up and said he would come back on Sunday, as he need to do his research and all.. so ya.. So he did a disk cleanup and I tell you, it was abt 30 mins.. super long.. and my antivirus has detected a deadly virus in my computer.. die.. no wonder my com tech cant solve the problem.. dun koe whether is this the problem.. but I'm gonna leave it to him since he is in charge of my computer! =)..
So after the disk cleanup and stuff, I burned some of my mp3s on a trial dvd-r disc he gave me, and said tat this is like a back-up for my mp3.. juz in case.. so I said ok, and then burn the dvd after my disk cleanup is done.. so ya.. so managed to finish it soon lah!
Then now after finish, I blog now loh! Think I'm gonna sleep liaox.. need to wake up early tml, becos tml morning going back to camp to sign most of my clearance.. so ya.. so need to sleep early lah!.. but I dun think so.. haha.. its already 0020 and I'm still up... will wake up at 0800 later.. haix..
Ok.. my head start to ache liaox.. too much computer radiation.. =).. Anyway, below is some entertainment stuff tat you may want to view it to brighten up your day huh! so ya.. so enjoy the following ah, while I going to turn in soon and wake up early tml.. so ya.. ok.. gonna sleep now.. cya tml then! =)

Finally an exercise of the mth!
Hey ppl! I finally got some exercise!! hahax.. read further down for details.. =)
First stop, for all the health freaks out there, here is the haze level PSI Index for the day, courtesy of NEA website:
0600 - PSI Index: 62 (Moderate)
0700 - PSI Index: 63 (Moderate)
0800 - PSI Index: 65 (Moderate)
0900 - PSI Index: 68 (Moderate)

2200 - PSI Index: 81 (Moderate)
2300 - PSI Index: 82 (Moderate)
0000 - PSI Index: 84 (Moderate)
This morning was reading the newspapers, as well as also surf net, particularly Friendster! ha.. quite interesting actually! =).. you see ppl u dun koe, and you get to see their outrageous photos and stuff.. haha.. so fun! so I guess tats one sign tat I'm bored! =)
Then afternoon came and the sky began to turn grey.. so I was like contemplating half the time whether to go swim or not.. becos I dun want to like swim halfway, then ha.. rain.. waste money and waste time lah..
My mum knew I was going to swim today, so she told me to juz go and swim becos it wont rain.. she somehow can predict the weather lah, and most of the time, its true lah! hahax..
And so I went.. Packed my stuff and go swim.. And soon I reached the swimming pool and then swam.. After which, I stop and think, "eh.. I'm here swimming already?".. ha.. funny isnt it..
Anyway, today I swam 30 laps.. My aim was at least 37 laps, but cant lah.. too lazy.. haha.. anyway, my warm-up was 4 laps (non-stop).. then I rested for 3 mins.. then I continued swimming 10 laps (non-stop).. then I rested for 5 mins.. then I swam the last 16 laps (non-stop) under 30 mins!.. so ya.. so I managed to swim abt 30 laps loh!
And it was actually quite fun to swim like all alone.. no buddy and stuff.. becos frankly speaking, whilst swimming, I was thinking abt a LOT of stuff (abt church, personal life, etc).. I was not really concentrating on how many laps left to swim.. so ya.. So its like after 1 hr, I'm done with the 30 laps! hahax..
Then after which, I went to shower and then walk back.. Becos I didnt eat lunch before I swim, so naturally, its like when I pass by an KFC outlet near my hse, I tell you, it was certainly tempting, but I resisted it in the end! Thank God! =)
Then I decided to eat something which is not so fattening, as after exercise, if I indulge, it wld not be good.. wld feel guilty.. so I ate a bun and a warm soyabean milk which is my favourite beverage of all time.. so its like ya.. the bun provide me with limited carbohydrate, whilst the soyabean milk provided me a little of protein.. so ya.. so you see I used my food knowledge huh! ha.. so who says I forget everything abt wat I studied in my diploma.. haha.. =P.. so ya.. oh!
So after I finshed my lunch, I proceeded to bathe.. Then decided to "play" with my mini-hifi radio, and I've juz realise tat my mini-hifi radio has the alarm clock and "sleep" functions.. hahax.. So I adjusted the alarm clock and it did work! ha.. so happy! =)
Woke up in a daze of course and then ate dinner (which was century egg porridge! best!).. then watched a bit of TV until my computer technician came over to my place and install the new DVD drive and the hard-disk.. but then, he brought over the wrong dvd rom and then also cant solve the hard-disk problem becos cant partition properly and stuff! so ya.. so he is coming over to my place tml afternoon again.. so ya.. haix.. I tot tonight can finish the installation stuff, and then proceed over to do the photo CD for my church youth camp.. haix.. so until now, still cannot.. sianx =(
Then before he left, he told me how much technology changes so much.. there is such a thing called "network storage".. have you all heard abt it? Its actually like installing a hard-disk to your modem, then ppl save the information by means of the modem.. so its like transferring information thru the internet and save it in the hard-disk.. then of course, there is authentification too.. so ya.. quite cool rite? but it muz be expensive, becos I think this technology is super new lah!
Haix.. we juz cant catch up with technology lah.. I tell you.. if we were to keep following technology, we will just go broke lah! haha..
Then now I'm blogging loh.. haix.. Oh.. the haze is back again.. and its in the 80s level again.. die.. I hope I dun fall sick again.. I've juz recovered! So tonite its me closing the window and sleep again, becos the burning smell is quite strong lah!.. so ya.. haix..
Actually come to think of it, its not ppl like me who are suffering, but its actually my fellow RPs (both new and old) in my camp who are suffering, becos whether got haze or not, they still have to stand gate.. haix.. poor thing.. =(..
Ok lah.. I gtg liaox! Head start to ache as usual, which is usually a sign tat I've enuf of computer radiation and I shld take a rest! so ya.. gtg and sleep liaox! =)
** I'm still counting down the days LEFT to serve.. its 8 DAYS to ORD!!
Tired as usual,

My mum knew I was going to swim today, so she told me to juz go and swim becos it wont rain.. she somehow can predict the weather lah, and most of the time, its true lah! hahax..
And so I went.. Packed my stuff and go swim.. And soon I reached the swimming pool and then swam.. After which, I stop and think, "eh.. I'm here swimming already?".. ha.. funny isnt it..
Anyway, today I swam 30 laps.. My aim was at least 37 laps, but cant lah.. too lazy.. haha.. anyway, my warm-up was 4 laps (non-stop).. then I rested for 3 mins.. then I continued swimming 10 laps (non-stop).. then I rested for 5 mins.. then I swam the last 16 laps (non-stop) under 30 mins!.. so ya.. so I managed to swim abt 30 laps loh!
And it was actually quite fun to swim like all alone.. no buddy and stuff.. becos frankly speaking, whilst swimming, I was thinking abt a LOT of stuff (abt church, personal life, etc).. I was not really concentrating on how many laps left to swim.. so ya.. So its like after 1 hr, I'm done with the 30 laps! hahax..
Then after which, I went to shower and then walk back.. Becos I didnt eat lunch before I swim, so naturally, its like when I pass by an KFC outlet near my hse, I tell you, it was certainly tempting, but I resisted it in the end! Thank God! =)
Then I decided to eat something which is not so fattening, as after exercise, if I indulge, it wld not be good.. wld feel guilty.. so I ate a bun and a warm soyabean milk which is my favourite beverage of all time.. so its like ya.. the bun provide me with limited carbohydrate, whilst the soyabean milk provided me a little of protein.. so ya.. so you see I used my food knowledge huh! ha.. so who says I forget everything abt wat I studied in my diploma.. haha.. =P.. so ya.. oh!
So after I finshed my lunch, I proceeded to bathe.. Then decided to "play" with my mini-hifi radio, and I've juz realise tat my mini-hifi radio has the alarm clock and "sleep" functions.. hahax.. So I adjusted the alarm clock and it did work! ha.. so happy! =)
Woke up in a daze of course and then ate dinner (which was century egg porridge! best!).. then watched a bit of TV until my computer technician came over to my place and install the new DVD drive and the hard-disk.. but then, he brought over the wrong dvd rom and then also cant solve the hard-disk problem becos cant partition properly and stuff! so ya.. so he is coming over to my place tml afternoon again.. so ya.. haix.. I tot tonight can finish the installation stuff, and then proceed over to do the photo CD for my church youth camp.. haix.. so until now, still cannot.. sianx =(
Then before he left, he told me how much technology changes so much.. there is such a thing called "network storage".. have you all heard abt it? Its actually like installing a hard-disk to your modem, then ppl save the information by means of the modem.. so its like transferring information thru the internet and save it in the hard-disk.. then of course, there is authentification too.. so ya.. quite cool rite? but it muz be expensive, becos I think this technology is super new lah!
Haix.. we juz cant catch up with technology lah.. I tell you.. if we were to keep following technology, we will just go broke lah! haha..
Then now I'm blogging loh.. haix.. Oh.. the haze is back again.. and its in the 80s level again.. die.. I hope I dun fall sick again.. I've juz recovered! So tonite its me closing the window and sleep again, becos the burning smell is quite strong lah!.. so ya.. haix..
Actually come to think of it, its not ppl like me who are suffering, but its actually my fellow RPs (both new and old) in my camp who are suffering, becos whether got haze or not, they still have to stand gate.. haix.. poor thing.. =(..
Ok lah.. I gtg liaox! Head start to ache as usual, which is usually a sign tat I've enuf of computer radiation and I shld take a rest! so ya.. gtg and sleep liaox! =)
** I'm still counting down the days LEFT to serve.. its 8 DAYS to ORD!!
Tired as usual,

The haze is back after much clear skies!
Well, if you want to koe the lowdown on the PSI Index, here it is:
0600 - PSI Index: 43 (Good)
0700 - PSI Index: 42 (Good)
0800 - PSI Index: 42 (Good)
0900 - PSI Index: 38 (Good)
1000 - PSI Index: 36 (Good)
1100 - PSI Index: 34 (Good)
1200 - PSI Index: 47 (Good)
1300 - PSI Index: 59 (Moderate)
1400 - PSI Index: 70 (Moderate)
You muz have realise tat how come the PSI Index stop at 1400.. this is becos the NEA website have some problem lah.. haix.. guess too many ppl kept on accessing the website and thus resulting in such failure of the website.. but oh well..
Today didnt really do much.. Was on computer the whole day as usual.. I did my monthly personal budget (becos today receive pay liaox mahx), then burn the photo CD (for my KL ORD trip) for my friends whom I mtg on Friday becos go camp and sign clearance mahx..
Then its surfing net for a while, before I have to be whisked off to bathe as I need to attend a wedding dinner.. Moreover, at Boon Lay.. super far! haix..
Oh.. anyway, I have news saying tat this Sun's birthday celebration wld not be in Hotel Rendezvous anymore.. its at Suntec, but then again, a buffet.. so ya.. haix.. and no! I didnt exercise today.. haix.. =(.. The haze is back.. haix..
So after I bathe, I went out of hse and proceed to Boon Lay.. Journey super far! Of course, I've today officially been changing my contact lens from Focus Dailies Aqua-release, to 1-Day Acuvue Moist! so ya.. and as usual, not used to it, therefore takes abt 3-5mins to put the pair of contact lens onto my eyes! But after yesterday, I somewhat found the tactic of putting it on (which is so different frm my previous one).. so ya..
By the time I reached there, I was tired and real hungry.. Thank God my parents decides to take cab frm Jurong East MRT.. the original plan was to take MRT to Boon Lay then take cab there.. so ya..
When we reach there, it was really a typical chinese dinner.. and then my mum saw a familiar face (which is her relative lah).. so ya.. we were seated loh.. then I tell you.. this is gonna be one of the funniest and worst weddings I've attended so far! Dun get me wrong.. the food is all rite.. its juz tat entertainment there really sux! I was msg my bro, Andrew abt it, and he also agreed with me.. I wanted to take a photo of it, but then, haix.. its too embarassing to be in my phone.. anyway, here is a brief description of it and hope you can visualize it..
Imagine this.. The dinner is so so aunty-rish!! They've got Chinese MC somemore.. then got hokkien, teochew and cantonese songs, but mostly its hokkien songs! Then there is this one time, there is a karaoke MTV showing women in scantily-clad bikinis (but all of which is in the 1970s-1980s, and I think its appropriate to name them, aunties! wahaha).. then with all their fancy jewellery and costumes.. then they speak hokkien and stuff.. its really like watching the 7 month getai -_-|||.. haha.. The guy was worse.. its obviously he is bald.. but then he put on this wig, which really looks like a watermelon figure over his head! hahax.. Haix.. I shld have taken a photo, then u all koe wat I mean.. ha.. but then again, dun want lah.. make my whole blog so embarassing.. ha..
Then I was telling my mum tat my wedding nxt time wld be an English one.. even if I want a Chinese wedding dinner, it wld not be something like tat.. so ya.. it wld be somewhere else.. but then again, chinese wedding dinners are more or less like tat.. haix..
And I was surprised tat at such Chinese dinners, there is red wine served.. so being the adventureous me, I went to take a glass.. and surprisingly, the red wine is those real young ones, but then, its not cold at all, so it taste quite weird.. so ya.. So I actually only drank a few sips and then I saw a fly being trapped inside the wine glass, so I stopped drinking.. and then somewhat, I was like having some dizzy spells and a headache.. not too sure whether is it becos of the place which is lack of oxygen or the music is simply too loud/deafening.. haix..
The food was not too bad though.. I really eat until I'm full.. not those buffet-type of real full, but its good enuf lah! =).. hahax.. I like the 1st dish and the dessert best! The one thing tat I like abt the 1st dish was the century egg, which was coated with flour and then deep fried and coated with honey in the end.. very nice.. the dessert which was Yam with Ginko Nuts (aka Orh Ni) was fabulous! Its not so sweet and I can taste the yam; but one thing though... not enuf yam.. but watever! I was craving for 'orh ni' and alas, I get to eat it! =)
Of course besides eating, my mum also caught up with her relatives.. Of course, I understand their dialect (which is Foochow), but then I dun koe how to speak.. I have hear their dialect since young (becos last time my grandma stayed with us and she spoke Foochow to my mum everyday), so naturally, I understand EVERY word they have said, but juz dun koe how to converse in them.. so ya.. so beware.. if you koe Foochow, and think tat no one else understands them except you, ha.. you better koe this.. I understand every word you said! wahahaha.. *evil laugh*
So after reaching home by cab (which was a whopping $14.30 - including a $0.10 surcharge becos its past 2330), I bathe, and then log on net to update this blog loh.. so ya.. =)
Ok lah.. very tired liaox.. one of my few aims I want to accomplish tml is to go swimming.. I seriously need exercise! =).. Ciaox ppl and good nite!
** I'm still counting down the days LEFT to serve.. its 9 DAYS to ORD!!
Exercise is much needed at this stage since I've been eating so much nowadays,

0600 - PSI Index: 45 (Good)
0700 - PSI Index: 51 (Moderate)
0800 - PSI Index: 54 (Moderate)

2200 - PSI Index: 54 (Moderate)
2300 - PSI Index: 51 (Moderate)
0000 - PSI Index: 51 (Moderate)
This morning my place here was a bit hazy loh.. but then, went to NEA website to see the PSI Index and was surprised tat its moderate levels.. I was thinking whether its like 80 or sumthing.. hahax..
Anyway, after which, I do many stuff.. Of course, I did type some of the worship songs.. redo some, edit some and added some.. so ya.. my usual activity after I attended the week's worship music practice (for Combine Service in church).. so ya..
Then I was so bored tat I surf the net for a while.. then get back to church stuff.. First, I edit my Publicity Report for this Saturday's Youth Camp Meeting, then following by updating my worship compilation (realise I have not done tat for at least a yr!)..
Then at 1745, I received a call from my camp, and on the line was my officer! I was quite shocked initially, becos I tot he wants me to go back camp or sumthing.. hahax.. Anyway, he told me I had to complete this ORD survey by tonite, becos its due tml.. I was like "ok loh! I thought juz answer the questions and stuff".. Many thanx to my officer, 2LT Wong Huijie.. if he have not tell me, I dun even koe must do.. haha.. Thanx Sir for taking the initiative to call! =).. Appreciate it lots! =)
Then I put the call and then went to the ns.sg website (the official website for NSmen) to do the ORD thingy tat my officer was telling me abt! And I went to this read-up which has a lot of sections though; I wasn't sure whether it is, so I called up my officer to confirm, and after much interaction with each other, my officer finally confirm tat the website I was on, is correct.. so ya..
Then I began doing.. and man! There was so much to read lah.. Its like a online manual to tell you the 'A-Z's of an NSmen.. man! It got so much content lah! Yes! No doubt it is good, but then its information overload in fact! Can you believe it? It have even a quiz after each section you read and you MUST attempt it; in the event tat you answer the same question with the wrong answer twice, you have to re-do the whole quiz AGAIN (and with different set of questions somemore!).. tats the worst part! So I was like doing it until 3/4 of the ORD thingy, and then I got a terrible headache! I was hungry and at the same time, have a headache.. can you imagine how much I've suffered? I had spend like 1 hr on the survey and have not finish yet! Can u imagine how many things I have to read and do the quiz? wahaha..
I have no choice but to like log off and then go eat dinner and rest a while before getting back to complete the ORD thingy..
So watched a bit of TV and had my dinner.. Then as I watched TV, I received an SMS from my computer technician asking me whether I want to upgrade my initial order of 80 GB hard-disk to a 160 GB hrad-disk for a mere $25 more! I was like thinking very hard, becos this wld mean tat the total cost wld be $205 (before GST) rather than the initial $180 (before GST).. then he also told me tat if I take the 160 GB hard-disk, he wld install it for me on Wed (11/10), which is the optimum day for me and the one which I requested.. I need my stuffs (my new hard-disk and my DVD writer/burner) this Wednesday is becos of the publicity thingy I'm doing rite now, and I aim to finish before I start work nxt thurs (19/10).. so ya.. so after GST, I have to pay my computer technician (he starts his own shop btw!), $215.. expensive hor! haix.. but wat to do?
But come to think of it.. after my 160 GB hard-disk is installed, I've got a total of 200 GB of hard-disk space in my computer! Ha.. dun you feel powerful if you have so much space? Ha.. I dun think I wld be able to finish the whole 200 GB of hard-disk space! haha.. =P.. So I'm waiting anxiously for Wed lah! =)
Then I went to bathe and then on my computer, and continue with the rest of my ORD thingy.. When I'm almost done, my friend, Boon Sen, asked me to help him print his report as he no printer, so I agreed loh.. Then I finished my ORD thing and printed..
Then back to my church things lah, becos afternoon cannot finish mahx.. Juz then, my other friend, Kok Wei, SMSed over and asked me whether I can help him do.. I gave him a big scolding over SMS.. I was really pissed lah! Its not as if he dun have internet, I'm thinking tat he is plain LAZY! I juz can't stand these kind of ppl! You koe wat he answered me? He answered me tat "the most if you dun help me do, I dont ORD only mah! Thanks anyway".. Fwah! tat really spark my anger lah! I was like telling him tat these kind of things he muz do himself.. he cant expect me to do it for him! I then further tell him, "If you think I'm your babysitter, sorry hor! I'm not!"..
Then he came like apologise and stuff.. pls loh! Just dun koe why such ppl exist! Here I'm on the verge to try to finish my church things ASAP, so tat tonite I can sleep earlier and dun need to burn the midnight oil, and he is here to like asking me to do stuff which is totally not my responsibility anymore! Arghh.. better not talk abt this guy anymorel he juz gets on my nerves lah! Oh.. I've asked him an umpteen time to like send me the KL Trip photos on his camera, but everytime he either never reply, or juz like so lazy to send.. you see this kind of ppl.. nxt time go workforce dun koe how.. arghh... dun talk abt him anymore pls! Juz makes my blood boil!
Then after which, I'm blogging now loh, and at the same time, talking to my ex-officer, LTA Samuel Lee (who is a good and responsible one btw! One of the best I had in my NS life!!).. ya.. I asked him abt his life and stuff lah.. btw, he is studying dentistry at NUS! Clever kid huh! =).. so ya.. its always such a joy to chat with him.. hahax.. =)
Ok lah.. I think I shld turn in for the nite liaox.. It is 0100 and I'm still online.. haix..
Oh.. this wk is gonna be another eating wk again.. I think I wld grow fat or sumthing if I dun exercise! If time permits tml, I'll go swimming! Hope I can fulfill tat dream of me exercising, or else, you wld see not 6 pec (not tat I have though!), but 1 big island of Italy + Africa + Malaysia + Australia.. the list goes on.. you get the idea! hahax..
Anyway, here is the lowdown of my binging guilty pleasures the rest of this mth:
Tues (10/10) - Chinese wedding dinner (8 course seated down dinner) @ Raja Restaurant, Boon Lay
Sun (15/10) - Birthday celebration (high tea buffet) @ Hotel Rendezvous
Sat (21/10) - Church Anniversary (high tea buffet) @ York Hotel
So the rest of this mth is eating again, after a high-tea buffet yesterday! Oh man! I'm getting so so fat lah! But as the Chinese say, neng2 chi1 shi4 fu2 (dun koe how to explain it in English, but I'm sure you koe wat I'm saying rite!!)
