i knew it.
my constitution has succumbed to the flu bug which has declared war in me. and now, i am coughing incessantly, and shivering cold.
maybe it is time i should visit my doctor tomorrow.
and wait, did i mention, i saw my own specialist doctor at the clubs last night. to think he looks so decent, he is actually quite a party animal.
i think mummy will blame it on my late nights and partying for falling ill so easily but then again, my immune system has never really proven itself to be reliable.
anyway, my mother's friends conned me of $250 for playing mahjong with them when my brain is malfunctioning due to the bug, making me feel laggish, and slow.
argh.
i will have my revenge when i feel better.
sigh.
and i need a nanny please?
TLC!!

genetic passes on.
my friends always think that i am probably the most crude person on earth because i have a very bad habit, and that is, i enjoy laughing at unfortunate events happening to others. it simply means that if someone falls down in front of me, i would first laugh, then lend a helping hand which makes me rather sadistic, but then again, it just tickles me very much.
i always wonder why i have probably the more erratic and eccentric form of behavior but i am slowly realizing these traits actually do transcend from my very own folks after i spend more time with them each day. suddenly, my parents appear so adorable and lovely, behaving so much like me. a kid stuck in old membrane.
one incident took place today and triggered my laughing nerves and it all went hysterical. it happened in the clinic when my dad and mum decided to go and visit our family doctor for consultation and get some usual medication to stock up supplies for the widespread of the imminent flu bug.
as we were waiting, there came in this ATB (ah tiong bu) followed by her husband.
mummy: wah, boy, look at her, she is bleeding all over! she must have cut herself by something sharp. so painful.
me: ouch, this is scary. (not so interested because the television program was more intriguing of course.)
dad: silent.
the nurse: 发生了什么事？你的手是怎么受伤的？ （ what happened? how did you get injured?)
catch this because i feel that this was the most classic of all that got our laughing glands went insane.
ATB: 我是被螃蟹咬到。 （i was bitten by the crab.)
dad: burst our laughing loudly.
mum: how can you laugh at others? (she began laughing even louder.)
me: rolling on the floor.
the greatest irony thing was, we were laughing just right behind them and not even showing any effort in trying to conceal ourselves. i bet they were very pissed off, but then, who cares. soon, she was escorted into the waiting room.
dad: i wondered did she eventually eat the crab?
mum: why are you so kapo?
dad: maybe she got angry, and decided to cook it, eat it, and then come to the doctor, let's ask her later.
me and mum: rolled our eyes at our dad together simultaneously.
these are my parents.
now i begin to see the resemblance even more vividly.

i probably appear as the bimbo like Reese Witherspoon in Legally blond 1/2.
have you ever seen anyone who is so clumsy and forgetful that he/she can leave for the airport and left his/her luggage still at home. if not, well, you have encounter one such person, and that silly boy is me.
the reaction of both my folks were, they almost rolled their eyes out of their skulls.
eventually, we had to request the kind driver of ours to head back home again to get my baggage.
argh.
this is perhaps one of the most exhausting trip back home to Taiwan because the stay was considered short, in comparison to in the past when i always go back for more than a month.
this time round, i had to congest almost all my activities which were to be widely and spaciously spread out in a month, to ten days. so each day, i ran in and out, and traveling around is not the same and as easy as it is in Singapore because everywhere seemed to be like from Tuas to Tampines, or farther.
finally today, i got to wake up at noon. it felt better this way after i was instigated to follow the family's tradition of having to wake up at 8 for breakfast together and be back home 11 latest at night because they always thought that i was the best target for people to kidnap but then again, i am not exactly that feather light so why would anyone want to strain their back by ambushing me and keep me for a ransom? anyway, i think i am more or less accustom to the strict family rules and regulations back home in Taiwan.
what to do, suck thumb lor!
that was what my cousin and i always complaint about and our resolution is the phrase above. thankfully i spend most of my time in Singapore and if my kins in Taiwan know how i live my life in Singapore, i bet they will banish me to the cell underground and ground me for three months.
i think i might just go into hibernation mode for the next few days.
yawn.

rained ice.
a barely common phenomenon took place yesterday; falling hailstones which most of the times, only happens by chance as it is form in storm clouds when supercooled water droplets freeze on contact with condensation nuclei, such as dust or dirt.
it poured for nearly ten minutes, and my mum and i were so esctatic because it is not something we can encounter in our daily lives back in the humid singapore which lies on the equator line. our weather forbids such an unique yet disastrous activity from appearing. there was a saying, eating hailstones cure all diseases. so we went out, and started collecting them to eat. in the end, i felt no differences and no reaction in my digestive system but just blue black gained from the impact of falling ice. i have to admit, this is nothing but an imbecile and insane act.
sadly for my neighbour, his car's windscreen was wrecked and our roofs were almost broken.
a rainy day, and i became extremely lazy. a characteristic of me, i can just lay, and stare blankly up at the ceiling for the entire day. i finished my 400 pages of story book and i felt extremely satisfied.
it feels homely back here. staying up late at times with my aunt, cousin, and my grandmother all sharing one bed, catching up and talking about what has been happening. although it is supposedly an all woman thing, i am always given the exception to hear their gossips about my uncle and laugh at the olden days when my grandfather was a signficant role in my life. perhaps, this is one of the very few times, i do not sleep alone with my polar bear on my bed.
i am regaining my taiwanese eccent but my cousin is still laughing at my horrendeous command of mandarin. she, like the rest of the people i meet, keep calling me the new age taiwanese ABC.
i swear i need to spend more time back in taiwan like before so that i can adjust to the switch better. Or else, i will have to live in their mockery forever.
wth.

someone call me a himbo please.
i went to gym, did my run and my usual routine exercises. then the unexpected, unfortunate event took place. i lost my locker keys which means i am stucked outside, without any clothes on but just a bathing towel covering my hidden fruit.
thankfully, the people around me was kind enough to loosen my exasperation i had in me. two strangers helped me to go down six levels to get assistance from the counter, and one more to stay behind and offered me some form of consolation, because i kept saying i was EMBARRASSED for being so forgetful. i just hope that i am not the only one that has ever encountered such a disgraceful incident.
anyway, i always wondered why is it that i have those impulsive shopoholic genes in me, that resulted me to buy everything that looks enticing to me. then i went out with my folks, and realized, actually, all these genetic dna came directly from my parents. they themselves bought like there were no tomorrow, and that includes my father, who always appear as a solemn buyer.
this holiday back to taiwan, is truly an expensive one.
i feel like a pig now, because food consumption takes place every one hour. lucky for me i had my friend to settle my gym issues in taiwan, or else i bet the consequences for eating every other hours beside shopping and sleeping, will be disastrous.
i hope i can stay here longer. so much fun, but so little time. i am so exhilarated because i am meeting my friend G on friday and clubbing here i come!
whee, i love home.

day 2
the excessive eating has made me forgo the stringent diet i have set myself on track back in Singapore. but looking at the irresistable food placed in front of me, i told myself i would just take one spoonful of everything that is available and ordered, but one mouth after another, i come to the horrendeous awakening truth, everything laid forward was devoured by me and digesting in my stomach. the fatty acids were deseminated and distributed all around my body. i gained whatever i have lost.
omg.
kill me.
now my almost diminished tummy has gained a few inches and i am dragged further away from the target i set and the benchmark of being, just nice.
thankfully, i managed to get into the gym to run on the treadmill for one hour but i have to say, the motivation i get from here is way better than what i can receive from my gym in fusionopolis. i guess it is because i was like the pet in the cage, and everyone in the town center who walked past gave me glares. i could not appear like a sick rat, yes?
but i have concluded one very sad truth, people in taiwan generally look better than in singapore. my eyes were fed constantly from all the eye candies that caught my sight on the busy and resplendent streets of Taipei Ximenting. I eventually started drooling on the floor.
i miss home in taiwan. how i wished i could return here perpetually...
but i would rather only return when it is winter. the summer is killing me.
omg.
kill me.

i must say that the one day road trip was extremely taxing, and now i finally have the experience of driving long distance. it requires a person's maximum focus, because one slightness mistake made can result in a serious accident at that high speed.
anyway, i have to conclude that the Malaysian drivers do have good road etiquette compared to Singaporeans and this is very consequential because it helps to keep accident rates lower. flashing light does not really contain any hostile connotations, it just acts as a reminder that you are coming fast and the driver in front should not switch into your lane. unlike in Singapore, some people's world can collapse if you flash or horn them. (read my previous entries on AH BENG DRIVERS.)
it felt good driving and i thought i was the president whereby everyone gave way to me. of course the speed i was traveling, was rather dangerous. at an average speed of 160km/h, my friends and i managed to travel to KL in two hours. and guess what, i managed to clock 180km/h on my speedometer! in the midst of the journey, we stopped by Malacca to taste their famous chicken rice balls and Gula Melaka. for once, i decided to forgo my "healthy" diet, and eat all these delicacies placed in front of me.
i have to admit, this day trip was worth it and i would want to do it again. it was fun, and i had to thank my best friend, J, for having to feed me sweets like perpetually to keep me awake while we were driving back at 2am.
i was SO EXHAUSTED and i swear i never hated driving more than ever.
anyway, i am looking forward for my trip to Taiwan tomorrow. finally, i get to go back and visit my relatives again. i feel more and more detached from a place i find my home as i can no longer fit in time slot to return more frequently. this time round will be a fresh new experience because i had never touched down there in summer. after all, i already have my fair share of HOT BLAZING days back home in Singapore, i will not want to be at anywhere whereby the temperature goes beyond 20 degrees.
A good time away because i think i need a break from back home. take it as a detoxification process for all the adverse effects of alcohol in me, or maybe just a relief from all the problems that i might have here. anyway i will have to behave because family back there are much stricter. i wonder how i am going to conceal my huge tattoos which will most probably cause a huge hoo-ha when my aunties see it. my new hair cut makes me look like a NERD.
my late nights will cease and clubbing will stop. at least my life will resume its normality functions which is better this way after all i fall sick rather often because of the erratic weather Singapore has.
i think i will grow fat and die eating there and i hope that swine flu will not stretch its reign to Taiwan so that i will not be quarantined when i come back to home.
I WANT TO SEE JOLIN TSAI WHEN I GO BACK PLEASE?!?!

whee! my entire family except my elder brother is away for a holiday!
HOUSE PARTY ANYONE:!?!?!?!?!?!
anyway, i am so going to steal one of the cars to drive into Malaysia on Tuesday to do my road trip. my friends recommended me to drive a safe car, but then, a safe car does not allow me to speed like nobody's business:( argh.
I WANT TO BEAT THE LIMIT I ACHIEVED ON SINGAPORE ROADS, 170KM/H.
i once drove from Changi Airport to home and home to Changi Airport in Forty minutes.
i should be the next initiate D sequence actor.
ok i am high from the Alcohol effects again. i think the excessive partying is depleting my life. but then again, it's the holidays and when school reopens, my life is being deprived again. how can i ever resist the great music from playing so hard.
i love clubbing with my type of music beating my brains out.
:)))

i feel like killing S.
He got me so addicted to that song Jaiho, by pussycat dolls. it sounds like some indian song, but then it is damn catchy. well done, and i am forced to watch slumdog millionaire.
anyway, i watched star trek over the weekend, and i thought it was going to be as dull as X-men because origins of Wolverine was really boring. i almost dozed off halfway because there were not much intriguing fights and the three claws initially got me laughing hysterically because it looked like fish bones. if my dog was there, i bet he must have thought his claws were a delicacy. and did i mention, professor X looked like he had injected a huge amount of botox to look wrinkles free. i bet he had a hard time smiling in that last part when he appeared.
star trek did a way better job because it was constantly in action! i did not think much of it because i did not live in that era whereby everyone was talking about the enterprise, but to my surprise, i was in loved with it. in fact, it got me motivated to watch the entire series whereby professor X, was the one of the lead captain of the federal ships.
the only thing that i think X-men triumphs over star trek is, they got hotter babes in that show that resulted my friends' jaw muscles to go weak and start drooling halfway but then again, why would you need so many pretty, slutty girls in a futuristic show whereby space ships is the form of transportation between galaxies, and technology so magnificent, you get so awed by it and demand to owe one of it. the only thing that i found really hilarious was, all planets had oxygen, even in saturn? i mean, there can be a paltry percentage of oxygen present, but it is so little, humans can barely gather sufficient supply for themselves to survive long. they will in the end suffer from hyperventilation, no? but nonetheless, i thought it was a brilliant show.
honestly i thought i should be saving more during the holidays because i spend more time lazing at home than going out. but to my amaze, i did not. i can deplete my cash allowance in one week, signing packages here and there and go clubbing. i swear i am so SPOILT. thank god, there is something called, credit cards around.
my best friend j told me that she had heard me talking about spending lesser and savings ever since i do not know when, but each time i will just get indulged in impulse shopping, and luxury expenditures.
she gave me an equation that relates me to my source of income.
teddy's mouth=money.
but in the process of getting more allowances, he has to undergo an ear deafening sequence from his folks and that is the price to pay.
whatever and J sucks.

i love my nephew.
for this moment, i realized, i am so in love with him. he means everything to me, and i swear i would shower him with all the love i have in me.
his tiny hands, his mischievous grins, his children tantrums, his cries, his snores are all bits and pieces of the happiness puzzle he makes up in my life.
i just want to say that, i wish i have enough time to watch him grow and live his life, and i will be there to guide him so he will never have to fall and go through the pain i went through. suddenly, i feel like i am becoming a parent because all these are what my parents did for me. the pain in me, causes the pain in them.
he makes me want to set up a family for myself immediately because i know that that is the ultimate goal that i wish to accomplish. it is good driving around your family car, filled with laughter and cries, than having to drive alone, listening to my occasionally boring songs playing on my i-pod. it feels warmth having to know that you return to a home whereby someone awaits for you.
i feel like i am entering an age that i am desiring to settle down. but then, i just feel that it takes forever to get to know the person who is sitting across the table dining with you. life has somewhat becomes more superficially demanding than before and inevitably, i become very wary of what approaches me.
i just feel that everyone in this world lives in a facade. right behind those masks which they hide their true emotions, lie a story that he/she is reluctant to share. We tend to present the best images, appearing to be happy, but then again, we forsaken the fact that we are constantly living in a delusional state. it just feels really miserable to be in this predicament, and i feel like, i can never touch the person in within because of the layers of impenetrable camouflage applied to disguise themselves.
perhaps this is also an issue in me. i am just too defensive. but then again, after going through all these excruciating pain and lessons, i just did not want to allow myself to follow through the same sequence. anyway, i just find it so tiring to know a person all over again like i used to know that character in my book of history.
are we not already jaded by how these cycles that keeps itself repeating each time?
people judge, and sometimes, we, being so selfish, we instigate and demand the world to revolve around ourselves, but negated the fact that we are not the sole players coexisting in this dimension of ours. we did not realize that not only can we feel the pain, the others around, can sense the unbearable ache which is scarring itself in them. it is like Newton's third law, a reaction pair of equal forces acting on two different bodies in the opposite direction.
we asked for so much, and yearned for all we could, but then we did not realize on the other side, the opposite party's story. and then, we start to grip and grouse, and comment on them that are out to deliberately hurt that someone that you know it matters.
it is just so cliche, and so prevalent and i get so sicked, and tired of this entire process. i just learnt to be nonchalant, and no longer bothered.
it has been two years and i still am at where i remain, not because i believe in something that is no longer there, but it is just that i am so exhausted to lift my leg and take the next step. also, i have seen the uglier side of humans too often, it pushes me away from everything.
being popular is not exactly the best thing to be and i know how it feels now.
sometimes i wish i would return to the days i was 105kg, a fat slob whereby everybody detested, at that point of time, that one friend who was there, was sufficiently enough for me to stay happy, and hopeful. today, people misunderstands and misjudges me, and even comment on things that are based on groundless facts. these has probably just made me so cold towards everything that goes around me.
life, and the callous truth, has made me an automaton.
william goldings was in fact immaculate that humans are evil from in within, when the civilisation depletes and diminishes, they start to show their true colours.
i used to recall myself loathing that book, lord of the flies, because i thought the author was utterly wrong, but then again, maybe he is correct in certain ways.
this is living.
his tiny hands, his mischievous grins, his children tantrums, his cries, his snores are all bits and pieces of the happiness puzzle he makes up in my life.
i just want to say that, i wish i have enough time to watch him grow and live his life, and i will be there to guide him so he will never have to fall and go through the pain i went through. suddenly, i feel like i am becoming a parent because all these are what my parents did for me. the pain in me, causes the pain in them.
he makes me want to set up a family for myself immediately because i know that that is the ultimate goal that i wish to accomplish. it is good driving around your family car, filled with laughter and cries, than having to drive alone, listening to my occasionally boring songs playing on my i-pod. it feels warmth having to know that you return to a home whereby someone awaits for you.
i feel like i am entering an age that i am desiring to settle down. but then, i just feel that it takes forever to get to know the person who is sitting across the table dining with you. life has somewhat becomes more superficially demanding than before and inevitably, i become very wary of what approaches me.
i just feel that everyone in this world lives in a facade. right behind those masks which they hide their true emotions, lie a story that he/she is reluctant to share. We tend to present the best images, appearing to be happy, but then again, we forsaken the fact that we are constantly living in a delusional state. it just feels really miserable to be in this predicament, and i feel like, i can never touch the person in within because of the layers of impenetrable camouflage applied to disguise themselves.
perhaps this is also an issue in me. i am just too defensive. but then again, after going through all these excruciating pain and lessons, i just did not want to allow myself to follow through the same sequence. anyway, i just find it so tiring to know a person all over again like i used to know that character in my book of history.
are we not already jaded by how these cycles that keeps itself repeating each time?
people judge, and sometimes, we, being so selfish, we instigate and demand the world to revolve around ourselves, but negated the fact that we are not the sole players coexisting in this dimension of ours. we did not realize that not only can we feel the pain, the others around, can sense the unbearable ache which is scarring itself in them. it is like Newton's third law, a reaction pair of equal forces acting on two different bodies in the opposite direction.
we asked for so much, and yearned for all we could, but then we did not realize on the other side, the opposite party's story. and then, we start to grip and grouse, and comment on them that are out to deliberately hurt that someone that you know it matters.
it is just so cliche, and so prevalent and i get so sicked, and tired of this entire process. i just learnt to be nonchalant, and no longer bothered.

no more clubbing.
i think many of my friends from all the local varsities have completed their dreading end semester examinations. that is probably why i was so shocked with the number of messages i received to date me out for clubbing tonight at zouk.
honestly, i really really really wanted to go, but the fact that i am so exhausted, after spending the entire day with my daddy, hitting the gym during my break, and playing basketball with my dearest girls, i swear, my bed was more enticing than any other thing on earth. forget about the mambo steps which many of our mass dances mimicked, let go of the RnB music and the basses hitting into my ear drums, i vow, i would rather just snore my room collapse.
my legs are shivering, and i am on a very stringent diet. sad to say, i am desperately in need of shedding off some extra flabbiness currently existing on my body because i might be scheduled for a shoot which requires me to flaunt my upper torso which i am obviously not very proud of. i need to GET MY LARD OFF so that i will look better for the world wide standards and i tell you honestly, these benchmarks and guidelines of gorgeous-ness, are killing all these models and making them anorexic. anyway, it is not confirmed that the producer might eventually want me, after all, i am not that fantastic but we shall see and i will EAT like there is no tomorrow after the shoot.
i need a break from the insane night life of clubbing. my best friend just reminded me that i was crazily partying five times a week immediately after my examinations has come to an end. drinking alcohol like plain water is not going to do me and my liver good especially when i do it so frequently. not only will it devour my liver, it burnt a hole in my pocket. i cannot recall how i managed to spend 1k on drinks last week and seriously if my daddy ever finds out about my credit card bills which most of it i paid off myself, i would be grounded indefinitely at home.
now, i am a super poor boy so anyone to offer me any cash rewards please?
anyway it was good spending more time with my folks and i think i will get to see daddy so much more since he has been given a month off his truckload amount of work back at his company. i am elated that he is finally walking longer distance with lesser pain. it makes me smile knowing that he is also glad that he is doing better after the operation.
i think family time beats any other time that i spent outside my home. sometimes i wished i will never get to grow older so that i will perpetually have my lovely parents to dote on me. i just cannot imagine how i can ever cope if they ever were to leave me eternally. so the lesson learnt is, treasure them for every each day you have left and i seriously need to imbue this in my mind and stop blasting at my everlasting nagging mother.
sigh. i am getting bored of my school holidays which i have been desiring for before the school even commenced. this is really nasty and i think i might just go do some courses like french or italian, so i can start chiding those ah-beng drivers i meet on the road, and they will never understand! YAY!
i am so SLEEPY, i think i can finally discard my sleeping pills:)

random.
i just do not know why i could not convey the exact emotions in my heart and mind in my previous entry.
but anyway, i just hoped that i could return to the days when i was younger, whereby life was simpler and happier.
:(
but anyway, i just hoped that i could return to the days when i was younger, whereby life was simpler and happier.
:(
daddy was admitted to the hospital for his spine operation today. age is really catching on him and his health is slowly revealing all the old ailments. he is having problems walking long distance.
i was really worried for him because in his condition, he was not recommended for an operation. he previously had an heart operation as his arteries were closed to 80% blocked and ever since then, he was always on warfarin, a drug used in pharmacology to deal with blood clots and because of this, there was a possibility that his blood could not clot from the operation and he would die from over bleeding. but anyway it went well, and so he should be fine again.
running about to and fro the hospital can be really tedious and i wished i had a chauffeur to ferry me so that i did not have to be the driver. to think that i was once so ecstatic about getting my own driving license and my own car. sometimes, it really stinks having to drive, especially when i do have a tendency to doze off while driving. not only that, i am an accident prone driver, and occasionally, reckless and rude and behave like an ah-beng driver too.
by night time, my entire family were together in the Ward A room. it was comforting to see us together and i was certain daddy was elated that we were there to visit him. After all, he always loved us so much, and all he wishes for, is us spending more time together.
i missed the days when we all lived together, and drove around together in one car. at that time, we were from a humble family, and had no excess cash for any extravagant spending. But even though we all had to squeeze in a small car, we were still happy, and close knitted. it just got me thinking because when we were leaving for dinner, mummy suggested we should just drive her car instead of us driving our separate cars as finding parking lots around Thompson area can a hassle.
in fact, there are times whereby i wished home was also smaller and less equipped so that all of us will be forced to stay together in the living room, then having to just remain in our own rooms doing our own things. it is sad because even though we reside under the same roof, i can barely see my brother for days because each of us are so busy with our lives now, our paths do not meet, and we had forgotten the importance of our family.
after going through so many obstacles in my life, my parents never appear to give up on me. they held on to me each time i was about to fall, or fell. and despite the numerous times i have let them down, they held me up in faith that all things will be resolved and be fine. their love for me is so great that i know in this lifetime,i am blessed for i have such great parents who dote on me selflessly.
i love them so dearly.
happy mothers' day, and i hope that you know, i love you too:)
thank you for having to bear with my volcanic temper, and erratic behaviors, and also my uncontrollable rage to spend.
you are the best. :))
PS: something random BUT OMG I LOOKED DAMN FAT ON THE 7-11 PHOTO PLEASE. i hope they will not publish anymore of it! :(

shocking
this morning, i jumped out of my bed, realizing i had over ten unread messages on my phone. wait, i meant afternoon, because i only woke up at three pm?! i feel like a total pig, because all i do is, eat, sleep, eat, sleep, and maybe clubbing.
anyway, it is just shocking because my friend asked, " teddy i did not know you like shopping at 7-11."
me: "eh, i don't shop at 7-11."
he: " but you are on the advertisement."
me: "WTF."
then i recalled it was one of the photo shoot i did for 7-11 a while ago and honestly, i did not think it would be published on the cover page of the brochure. goodness gracious, i honestly wanted to kill myself because i looked hideous.
there are three reasons why that picture was chosen out of so many.
1. it does not reveal my HUGE TATTOO on my right ankle.
2. it does not show my swollen left eye. (i recalled i had eye infection that day)
3. we looked really happy and exhilarated that we BOUGHT LAYS CHIPS FROM 7-11. (another product placement.)
so yes that is me and i just looked fugly.
that day i was tuning to channel 8 in the morning, and then there was this time-slot for repeating those outdated tv dramas. there was this show called Ah-xue and i think it is still rolling. i almost choked onto my breakfast after I SAW MYSELF in it. I almost forgotten i once acted when i was really young for mediacorp and at that time, MDC was still called TCS. anyway, i acted in three shows, and that makes me a forgotten childhood EXTRA.
it is just funny, because i could recall i did not know what i was doing at all. i just knew that i cannot NG as the director had got not much patience for little boys and girls like us. sad to say, i wasn't fann wong, or else i swear i would kick his ass, but then again, if i was her, i would not even NG because she is such a professional actress and a veteran in acting. sigh. i seriously need acting classes.
all these little pieces of my life, makes it so interesting and colorful. i miss those days when we were shooting Hey Gorgeous at Downtown east. it was so much joy, and the production crew and our nanny were so nice to us:) we were still fantasizing if we could all act in a teenage show like "spin" or something.
if only we could do this all over again, but then again, i always had stage fright and that was the reason for my grand finals, i decided to pair up with my dearest sister Linda, because at least i would not have to be alone with my knees knocking against each other.
scheming yes?
those were the days. now we are all back to our own paths, continuing our own journey.
i wonder how are the rest doing.
:)

yes i managed to clock TEN HOURS OF SLEEP for the past few days! they say in university, if you can sleep six hours a day, it is a luxury which i think sometimes, it is quite a truthful statement made.
something hilarious happened the other day when i was still lazing in bed. my mother was pounding on my door heavily to attempt to wake me up.
she: "are you alright?"
me: "yes? why?"
she: "you slept for so long, your daddy thought you were in coma and asked me to come upstairs to check if you are still breathing."
me: "thanks, but no thanks, and yes, i am still breathing which means mummy, i will still haunt you!"
she: "sian man."
i think my folks are so adorable at times, especially when they are in good mood.
i enjoy sleeping because it allows me to dream. sometimes, dreaming allows you to be at a dimension you know you can never be at in reality. it can also bring you back to the past, whereby history could be replayed, and do things that you always wanted to do. at least for me, it did. it was the closest i could get to the people i wanted to be with yet i knew it was implausible.
there were times when my dreams were monochromatic, others i smiled when i was still snoring. i wished i never had to wake up, because i refused to come back to the callous factual life, which puts me down when i remember things that i do not want to.
but then again, if i do not wake up, i will probably find myself in a coffin.:)
life is not always that smooth sailing. the sea is not always as calm. the wind is not perpetually just a breeze. it gets quite taxing when you know that your journey has so many ups and downs, and sometimes, you just find it so overwhelming, you just rather give it up as the tenacity in you runs dry.
but you know giving up is after all, not the most desirable outcome.
sometimes, i feel that we ourselves, make our lives so difficult for our own desires, and our complex brains seems to always demand for something more.
ever wondered what is our reason of existence, and why we are working so hard when we know that eventually, all will return to dust. that is why i always aim to create a difference, so that i can leave behind a memory for others that did something, out of the ordinary, and make others smile.
i want to go to Bhutan, because J told me that it was one of the places, whereby the people were ranked happiest there. perhaps the simple life there, makes people there really contented.
no wonder there is a saying which says, "simplicity beats the rest."
i am going to start growing wheat at my backyard.

stop.
for those who reads my blog, friends or acquaintances, please do not misunderstand my motive for writing the previous entry.
it was not meant to be a war sparked because that was definitely not an intention behind my head, in fact, the only reason why i wrote that, was to let some people understand that, being in the engineering faculty does not mean we are anywhere near the loser end. and if there should be anyone who might look down on us, we ought to prove it to them that we are indeed not just anyone, but someone who can play a significant role in contribution to our society.
i hope this does not appear as certain form of challenge, and definitely, not a show for others to watch. if this happens in NTU, it can happen in any University because i always believe that as successful as our education system may deem to be, there are loop holes which exists, and it is the segregation that has been formed between different institutions, and also, within the school itself. we always feel that one has to be superior to the others but did not realize that actually, we are dependent of one another. a lack of any component, might be the detrimental of this perfect world we are trying to build, and live in.
honestly, i do not judge your actions, and people's social life. my only perspective is, sometimes, we have to be responsible for our actions. if you need respect from others, respect yourself first. but of course, like i said, i am in no position to bother and if i did result in any unhappiness, i should be the first to apologize.
This will be the end of this scene, and the part whereby people take this as some form of hostile platform of challenge should cease because the underlining meaning, was not supposed to be this way, it was meant to be a clearing of thoughts.
i will not want to touch on this disturbing topic again.

NBS
seriously, i am not going to comment much on those people who are going to tarnish my tag board, after all, we all know that these things are inevitable, sometimes i just hope that if they have the balls, please just come approach me.
does the whole world expects good consolation each time they become famous? trust me ms/mr myopic boys and girls, it is time to change your glasses because you need to start getting things right, because you don't get the entire world to love you. it is a sad truth, but all of us have a different perspective and maybe to you, that is your form of beauty, to us, it is not, and in this society whereby free will is being practiced, we have our prerogative to speak.
a serious problem that demarcates our education system. it is how disappointing that people from different faculty think that they are highly superior from the rest. honestly, i chose being in engineering faculty instead of being in Nanyang Business School, and it is not because i am not cut up to that ranked top 25 school in the world, but i just had no interest in that area.
if you think that all engineering students are losers, please step out of your well and the Singapore context to perceive things better. and for your information, i was a medical student before i transferred into NTU, i had to come back and deferred a year studies for my personal reasons which i do not need to explain.
does people in Singapore actually know that Engineering course is a professional degree, just like law, medicine and even accountancy? does people know that actually, being an engineer in other countries, like China, States, Switzerland, in fact many other continents, is more desired that being a doctor or lawyer? i think people should start realizing by reading more from Newsweek, times, and other sources, that can educate them more on the world issues. one recommendation, www.asiaone.com. it gives you updates on world news.
for your information, our dearest prime minster, both his sons, are doing Engineering in MIT, hopefully you know what MIT stands for. my friends who are in Princeton, Harvard, are also doing that. also, if i am not mistaken, NTU's engineering is also ranked 25th in the world. so, please, do not leave comments, to try to degrade others, but get yourself embarrassed by how un-knowledgeable you are.
we live in a country, that is dependable on others to survive. given the fact that Singapore is one of the most globalized country in this world, we have to be humble. and if you think that you are especially good, please, start to tone down so that you can survive better in the working society in future, and after all, humility is always a virtue.
i am elated for your friend having a good friend, being defensive for him. but please, when you speak, be more mature. i do not wish to flaunt my family's ability, and i can honestly tell you, being an engineer is a huge stepping stone because i have easy access to the largest shipping firm in Singapore, great gratitude to my father, and in my family, he is not the only one whom i can easily achieve great heights from. i do not need to depend on my family, but connections are consequential sometimes. one thing for sure, not everyone in Engineering, is a loser.
have you ever wonder why all these Chinese people choose to study engineering in NTU and not business school. because, they know very well in them that they can go far especially in their hometown whereby Engineers are still in demand. If they have to go to Business school, they would rather be in Fudan University, their own University, whose MBAs are ranked top eight in the world. we enjoy mocking them but failed to realize they are indeed better. maybe you should try studying Engineering, and you will have a taste of how "easy" it is.
the point i am trying to convey is, every degrees, every schools, every faculties, have their plus points. anyone can succeed and be successful. there should never be any form of comparison of who is better or not because when you do that, people will just tell you to be mature please. if there are no engineers, you will have no buildings to live in, no bridges that link the world together, no infrastructure to give you access to anywhere. if there are no doctors, the world will be plagued with sickly people. if there are no lawyers, there will be no justice. if there are no business students, the world's finance will crumple. i hope you understand my analogy, just in case you could not understand my earlier statements.
regardless of how you perform in your academic life, your attitude of how to handle issues fail you to be someone capable. Because people who can reach high altitude does not behave like you. tolerance is a virtue too.
start seeing others from a different light, and you will realize, you are just nobody. like i said, the quality of being humble.
another point to take note, i will not want to FIGHT with anyone on this tag board as i find it really childish. but, if it gets out of hand, let me tell you what EEE school has taught me in one of their elective modules. it is called, cyber security. every computer has an unique IP address which is so easily tracked down. and then all i have to do, is to hand it over to the authorities so that warnings can be sent out. yes, my family lawyer told me before, this is another form of harassment, and if it gets worst and result to defamation, then the case becomes more complex. anyway, you know, the proof is left on my tag board for anyone to see.:)
it is just an easy process.
FYI, i did not DB anything, in fact, i think i did well. hope your examinations this semester will do well too:)

a serious problem that demarcates our education system. it is how disappointing that people from different faculty think that they are highly superior from the rest. honestly, i chose being in engineering faculty instead of being in Nanyang Business School, and it is not because i am not cut up to that ranked top 25 school in the world, but i just had no interest in that area.
if you think that all engineering students are losers, please step out of your well and the Singapore context to perceive things better. and for your information, i was a medical student before i transferred into NTU, i had to come back and deferred a year studies for my personal reasons which i do not need to explain.
does people in Singapore actually know that Engineering course is a professional degree, just like law, medicine and even accountancy? does people know that actually, being an engineer in other countries, like China, States, Switzerland, in fact many other continents, is more desired that being a doctor or lawyer? i think people should start realizing by reading more from Newsweek, times, and other sources, that can educate them more on the world issues. one recommendation, www.asiaone.com. it gives you updates on world news.
for your information, our dearest prime minster, both his sons, are doing Engineering in MIT, hopefully you know what MIT stands for. my friends who are in Princeton, Harvard, are also doing that. also, if i am not mistaken, NTU's engineering is also ranked 25th in the world. so, please, do not leave comments, to try to degrade others, but get yourself embarrassed by how un-knowledgeable you are.
we live in a country, that is dependable on others to survive. given the fact that Singapore is one of the most globalized country in this world, we have to be humble. and if you think that you are especially good, please, start to tone down so that you can survive better in the working society in future, and after all, humility is always a virtue.
i am elated for your friend having a good friend, being defensive for him. but please, when you speak, be more mature. i do not wish to flaunt my family's ability, and i can honestly tell you, being an engineer is a huge stepping stone because i have easy access to the largest shipping firm in Singapore, great gratitude to my father, and in my family, he is not the only one whom i can easily achieve great heights from. i do not need to depend on my family, but connections are consequential sometimes. one thing for sure, not everyone in Engineering, is a loser.
have you ever wonder why all these Chinese people choose to study engineering in NTU and not business school. because, they know very well in them that they can go far especially in their hometown whereby Engineers are still in demand. If they have to go to Business school, they would rather be in Fudan University, their own University, whose MBAs are ranked top eight in the world. we enjoy mocking them but failed to realize they are indeed better. maybe you should try studying Engineering, and you will have a taste of how "easy" it is.
the point i am trying to convey is, every degrees, every schools, every faculties, have their plus points. anyone can succeed and be successful. there should never be any form of comparison of who is better or not because when you do that, people will just tell you to be mature please. if there are no engineers, you will have no buildings to live in, no bridges that link the world together, no infrastructure to give you access to anywhere. if there are no doctors, the world will be plagued with sickly people. if there are no lawyers, there will be no justice. if there are no business students, the world's finance will crumple. i hope you understand my analogy, just in case you could not understand my earlier statements.
regardless of how you perform in your academic life, your attitude of how to handle issues fail you to be someone capable. Because people who can reach high altitude does not behave like you. tolerance is a virtue too.
start seeing others from a different light, and you will realize, you are just nobody. like i said, the quality of being humble.
another point to take note, i will not want to FIGHT with anyone on this tag board as i find it really childish. but, if it gets out of hand, let me tell you what EEE school has taught me in one of their elective modules. it is called, cyber security. every computer has an unique IP address which is so easily tracked down. and then all i have to do, is to hand it over to the authorities so that warnings can be sent out. yes, my family lawyer told me before, this is another form of harassment, and if it gets worst and result to defamation, then the case becomes more complex. anyway, you know, the proof is left on my tag board for anyone to see.:)
it is just an easy process.
FYI, i did not DB anything, in fact, i think i did well. hope your examinations this semester will do well too:)
:) smile.
