no 5 celebrated "Cinco De Mayo" a day where Mexican down tequila for fun for what reason i still don't know. it was a fun night, can't remember how much tequila i served that night. the sales that night was 12k++ quite ok according to the managers. one funny incident to note.

(girl in red): hey what is your stronger drink here? i tried few shots of teq and they are nothing.
(me): hmm our stronger shot is bacardi 151 which is 151 proof meaning 75% alc
(girl in red): ok i'd try that

and she went on to order few more shots of bac 151 and the last time i saw her was her frens carrying her out. she totally lost conscious and slept like a pig infront of everybody. sometime u juz cannot understand what people is thinking and whats more she's a lady.

Shihan look! its a new blog
around 3 years ago, an 18 years old guy who did fantastically for O level considering his bird brain, choose diploma in Multimedia. he thought he has the world under his feet and little did he knew that the world would eventually raise and turn aginst him. confident, courage and cheerfulness soon became, depression, despair and discomfort.
ok sorry pals, cause i am considering taking journalism and politica sciene in the future so trying to be arty farty by starting the blog like that. out of the world it may look, but i am not outta my mind. what i just said did have some truth in them. 3 years on, the question on my mind is "what can i do?" and not "what i want to do?". the conclusion is clear, I AM NOT READY FOR SOCIETY!!!. alright, i have to give some credits to this course and SP. before taking the course, the only software i knew was called mic words and i thought movies was done by recording all scenes in sequence and just play it out at the end of the day. i also met many wonderful frens, some good and some not so good.
Zr was at my bar today for interview and i think he has a 50/50 chance of getting the job. i cant wait to see him rushing for orders and memorizing all the cocktail names and prices. thats just not the way our dear mr chan do things. but lucky for him, i will be there to take care of him so nobody would dare to touch him. that wasn't the case for me as i knew nobody there when i started so i not only learnt through experince but also abusses. lets just hope he will get it and then we can tick our destinations wishlist of Bangkok, Redang and Hongkong as done.
i knew alot of my frens wonder why i like to work so much and i really hope ppl whom i regard as good frens don't have this questions on their mind. true, i enjoy learning about alcohol and cocktail but no not true, i don't enjoy working. active at night, slept the whole morning, taking in 2nd hand smoke daily isn't something fun. i will be able to vote in the next election and that also mean a invitation to adulthood. though i don always enjoy the best of communication with my father but i have to admit i owe this person alot. yea i know i know, he is my father, i shouldn't think this way but, thats the way i am. i don like to be a burden to anyone which is why i hope ppl whom i regard as gd frens will not wonder why i work so much cos they'd understand this part of me. i know if i cant get into local U, my poor old dad who jus had a minor throat operation yesterday will do all he can to raise the money for me to enter private U. i know what i am earning now will nv be enough to cover my future school fee but at least it will let him know that he has a son who is capable of paying his own bills and taking care of himself. sorry pop, just ure luck to have such a useless son.
lastly, i have to pay tribute to a special person. thanks for allowing yourself to be found by me again. U make me believe that there is really someone other than my family who truly cares about me. but more importantly, u made me gave up giving up. thank you

20th oct...wow i haven't blog for almost 2 months. usually when i blog is either because i have something extremely happy or f**k up to say. unfortunately, i have some f**k up news to say. how f**k up is it? imagine zr feeling stress...thats like asking u to imagine camels playing in north pole.
met our client today and the stuffs he expect is not out of the world but rather time consuming, according to our technical advisor Mr Chan Zeren. i definitely think there is miles and miles of hurdles infront of us waiting to be clear but i don't know why. i just seems to have some good vibes about it. disagreement is inevitable if you want improvement but i have every confident in my group members. don't ask me why because i don't know. well..maybe is because this is it man, after this no more fyp or itp. time for BMT!! so no one will screw up. another thing is i think my group members are all very sensitive ppl, it's great being leader of this grp cos i really don't have to tell or remind them anything. everyone knows what is right and wrong.
i bet many people can't help but wonder what's next after fyp? the girls most pro will enter U while we guys go play real life command and conquer. Alan reflected during dinner that we guys really have very little time. ladies and gentlemen, alan tay is another guy not associated with the word stress. trying to picture him being stress is like imagining paris hilton doing community services. haiz..all i can say is who ask us to be so greedy during that 10 months and put something extra between our legs.
everyday smile we will have to meet up with future, everyday complain also must meet him. it's an appoinment which death is the only way to cancel it. but to anyone who is thinking of canceling that way, can you go rob a bank and give me some of the money? u are dying and u are dumb so why waste the money?
to all follow fypers, good luck and smile more :D

saw an article from australia which say that the amount of 2nd hand smoke a bar/pub worker takes in everynight is equivalent of smoking 4packs of cigarettes. so for the past few days i had already consumed 12packs. i don't feel good at the moment and feel like coughing from time to time but i haven't taught gareth how to play tennis and soccer, haven't save up enough for my degree, haven't found someone who i can sing "the reason" to so hopefully, whoever up there won't call time on me so soon. along with me, there was another new-comer who happens to be a NUS degree holder so recently got the opportunity to understand a degree holder POV of life. yea i admit it is more sophisticated and deep compared to mine. he is working as full-time but i doubt he will stay very long because you are not suppose to be collecting glasses and cleaning table after spending a ten over Ks of school fee. although people working there are generally friendly but i felt there is something on their faces which tell the other side of the story. i think like me, they are worried. over what? it can only be $$$. weird right? cause everynight u will get to see 2 set of people smiling happily in the bar. the first set smile and work hard to earn money and this set is known as the staff. the second set work hard so they can throw their money around and this set is known as the customers. u will never believe and understand how some people can part with $300,$400 or even close to a K per night but that is the real world.
the nest is getting too small for the young bird. sooner or later he will have to fly out to find a place of his own. along the way he may meet some other kind birds but also evil vultures. he can either keep flipping his wings until he found that place or stop flipping and die. ladies and gentlemen, that's my definition of the real world and welcome. wishing u a pleasant flight.

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

2004-10-19T13:55:00.000+08:00

Baby, I know the story
I've seen the picture
It's written all over your face
Tell me, what's the secret
That you've been hiding
Who's gonna take my place

I should've seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway...I guess it's over

Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know
You never told me

Baby, you should've called me
When you were lonely
When you needed me to be there

Sadly, you never gave me two many chances
To show how much I care

I should've seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway...I guess it's over

Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know
You never told me

About the pain and the tears
Oh, Oh, Oh
If I could, I would
Turn back the time

I should've seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway...I guess it's over

Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know
You never told me

Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know
You never told me

gold coast
gold coast is definitely one of the greatest place on earth. the weather the beaches, the bikini babes. i really wish one day i can go back there with someone i love and just enjoy ourselves. on the first day i woke up at 4+ to go catch the sun rise but to my surprise, it was a bit disappointing. well of cos it is much much more beautiful than sg one but i was expecting those really really big sun rising through the sky and lighting up the entire horizon. but it was also quite nice la onli too bad i was catching it alone...
surf
upon seeing the waves in gold coast, i told my self, i gotta get a surf board!!! so i bought myself a real cheap body surf board for around 16bucks and off i went. i once body surfed in sun way lagoon on artificial waves. it was so fun cos the wave will push you from one end to the other end of the pool. this time, it's for real. the waves was really huge and it was really difficult to try to get to the deeper side of the sea. every time i took one step forward,, i fell two steps back. when i eventually reached quite far, i was dead tired. from my sun way lagoon experience, i remember you have to start paddling real hard when the waves is about to reach you and if you succeeded, it will carry you and push you all the way. so there i was paddling like crazy waiting for the gigantic waves to push me through. but each time, i only succeeded in letting it swallow me. i really don't know how those pro do it man and now i really respect them. i felt so useless against the strong waves and they the pros actually can control them. nvm, in the end i had fun too just hope one day i can come back again and take some lessons.
daniel?
the place when we stayed was sorta like a chalet cum condo. they have tennis court, small swimming pool, small spa, table tennis room and sauna. so we borrowed rackets from the receptionist and i was suppose to teach ky how to play. i was practicing my serve alone on the carpet tennis court when an ang mo, with piercing on his nose approached and asked if i mind him joining me for a hit around session. of cos those that know me well will know the answer in my mind is "bring it on you fucking punk, juan louis safin is gonna kill you!!" by the way the rackets and balls we were using was GREAT. the part when u place your hands looks like it will fall off anytime and some of the balls even have holes in them. sometime things in life can change really fast you know, his first forehand return already let me know that "oh shit, he is gonna kill me!!" i dono how the hell can he generate so much top spin on his forehand and backhand without sacrificing the pace. almost all of his balls come at me with plenty of top spin and really fast and yet, he seems to be doing them effortlessly . for the first 10+ minutes or so, he was like a dog trainer and i was his dog. i was running around like an idiot trying to return his balls. however, i slowly found my rhythm and the "sting" in his shots was slowly disappearing although it was actually the same shots but just that i've gotten used to it. i was now returning his missiles with my own tiny whiny amount of top spin and was actually able to stay in a couple of rallies with him. another thing i must let the whole world know is his 'volleys'. i think i didn't succeed in making a single passing shot against him. every time i saw him standing at the net i will hit the damn balls with all my might and my tennis kakis can testify that although i don't have a rafael nadal fore/backhand, my fore/backhand ain't that weak either. but what happen? he simply stretches out his rackets and the balls dropped slightly in front of the net. once again, he makes them looked easy. in the end i asked him how long has he been playing and he told me "nahhh i haven't been playing COM for awhile" my face turned pale and he asked me do i play com and i told him no i just started playing 1 year+ ago and usually play for fun. although i feel like telling him yea i play COMputer a lot. he reckon i was quite good for someone who only play for fun, well hopefully he isn't just being polite. i now truly understand that you have to play with someone good to become good yourself and right now my goals is to have Daniel's volleys and the kind of 'stings' he put into his shots. by the way, i don't know his name ah. i forgot to ask and his face give me a feeling his name is daniel so i called him daniel.
dreamworld
dreamworld was quite fun but at $58 it was too expensive. only a few rides was fun so for those that plans to go gold coast in the future, i suggest you spent that $58 on something else.

What's my age again?

ok was at the casino watching EPL 7 hours ago. was quite impressed by my dear man utd. their passing was quite fluent and the defence was solid on the whole. Ferdinand returns really instilled confidence. actually brown, silvestre, and O'Shea aren't really as lousy a centre half as the media portrayed, just that they need someone to tell them what to do and thankfully, the person is back. seriously i've never been a happier man utd supporter cos nowdays, they are no longer the top dog of EPL and so people no longer think i support them because they kept winning. I’ve been supporting them since 1994 and knew all about the 58 Munich disaster and Newton Health. So kinda pissed when people wore a man utd jersey but don’t even know who bobby charlton is
the other reasons is because i thought Ferguson really invested well this time. u can more or less see the same players still playing 10 years from now and there will definitely be a few british around. no matter how great henry or drogba is, they can never produce the team spirit and 110% commitment like the brits. Fergie know it best because he is one himself. sure, arsenal played some sublime football at times but I am just waiting to see what happen when henry gets a long term injury. Chelsea may win the EPL someday but they will never dominant it because at the rate players come and go in Chelsea, the players may have to do a self-intro every training session.

ok so I was watching then a group of ang mo asked me to help them take pictures. They spoke slowly and used very simple English because they thought I can’t speak English. After taking the pics, they put both their palms together and thanked me in the thai way. Wonder who told them my name was uthai… the 2 guys also gave me a hug but I rather use that 2 hugs to exchange for 1 from the girls. After that, another ang mo lady kept looking at me but I just ignored it cos I thought she was looking at something else. She finally asked me how old I was cos she thought I looked 16 and she kept telling me how young I looked. Anyway other than how skinny I am, my “gin na” face is another issue frequently reminded by others. I think if I were to wear my sec sch uniform, i will have no problem walking in any given morning. Nvm, people can go on and tell me how “gin na” I looked but 15 years from now where people start to tell me I look 25, it will be my turn to see the funny side.

Seeing Stars
alright i was walking down the street when i saw alot of people and the usual production crews stuff. i wonder what movie were they shooting so i stepped forward to take a closer look. there was a lot of damaged cars lining up so i presume a car chasing scene is going to take place. after plenty of shifting around and dry runs, i finally get to see the actual scene an hour later. luckily it was worth the wait. there was a car with a tramp attached behind it and another car simply run through it. the car that ran over it instantly shoot into mid air and landed with a loud bang with all windows scattered. it was a great sight haiz too bad didn't bring camera. by the way, all this extravagances are only for a korean drama and not a movie.
in the later scenes, the forcus now is on the main actor and actress. there was a large korean community amount the crowd. however, it was easy to spot the non-koreans. they all had the wtf expression on their faces and needless to say, i was one of them. the koreans are going absolutely ga-ga over the actor and actress. screaming and shouting constantly and taking pictures non-stop. i finally succumbed to curiosity and asked one of them who the hell were them. the guy name is Song Seung Heon and the girl is Kim Hee Sun. even after knowing them, my face was still in the wtf expression although i heard of that girl before. after doing some research on the internet, i realize that guy was actually in the movie "so close" along side hsu chi and karen mok. before i came i was telling everyone how i can't wait to checkout all the korea babes over here. today i finally met one, haha a very tua ki one somemore. hoho so today i bo tai bo chi find myself standing 5-10 meters away from 2 of korea hottest stars. hmm think i will go back next week and see if i bump into hsu chi haha.
heres the 2 of them:

Club or go to jail

every friday or saturday night visit to the city will make me wonder if the law of australia conatin the following piece of legislation

"It is the responsibility and duty of all australian citizens to go clubing on a friday or saturday night. failure to comply will result in a jail term not exceeding 5 years or a fine not exceeding $2000 or both."

every friday and saturday night, the bars and pubs will be packed with people without fail. thats why i start to wonder is it illegal to stay home on this 2 days in australia haha. but then again, think that is one of the best way to relax after a week of work plus the alcohol here is dirt cheap so why not?
personally i always enjoy going to a bar with friends and "tan xing shi" haha no la actually majority of the time is gossip with a glass of bourbon or whiskey coke beside. i find that very relaxing and also one good way to stay in touch with friends and of cause for those that know me well, my eyes will be all over the place. when i told people i enjoy doing that in the past, almost all reactions are identical. "wah chiogster sia" that really piss me off. singaporeans are certainly good at derogatoring something. we make snooker & pool an ah beng spot, we make dyeing hair bad and we even create a new definition for clubbing, "chiong". nvm so long as i know i am those who go there to relax and enjoy the ambience and NOT those that won't give up till they puked and created some troubles, it dosen't matter what others think. obviously i don't do it all the time like what those aussies do unless my name is Louis Hilton and have 2 sisters name Paris and Nicky respectively haha.

big price, small world

for those that have never watched a movie in australia, you shouldn't. today the 3 of us went with a bag full of enthusiasms because it will be our first time and because we are catching garfield. SO i asked for 3 tickets and the person told me it would be $28. my eye brown raised abit cos that would mean $9.30/person but then again it was australia and nothing is cheap here. what followed, not only raised my eye brown but also left a very deep hole in my heart. the person only handed me 2 tickets as he thought i only asked for 2 and that means..$28/2=14*1.3=SG$18.20 full stop. I just spent SG$18.20 on a movie which main character doesn't even exist. suddenly my world became black and white and eveybody became those creatures in silent hill pointing their fingers at me telling me "you just spent $18.20 on a movie" repeatedly. ok that description is a bit over the top but this memory will stay with me as long as i am alive. $%#VERBY$%^ BRTGH$^#@$GI4644WET#$%#$%$%%46455$#%FGH$%^&^(*(_()+~@!~@!#~$@%VGV$%^$^& B^&N ^&N %&%*&%^&hgf65h48rh6f1brth49wr4h4r#$%#% that feel better.

something rather unusual happened today. I actually saw someone whom i knew, here all the way in Brisbane. she was an secondary schoolmate of mine and she is an Indonesian. we kept exchanging glares but that's all we did. haha bo pian that is the kinda person i am, you don't talk to me i don't talk to you but once you talked to me you wish you never did. but if i bump into her again think i will say hi to her cause afterall, you don't get to bump into someone you knew everyday especially oversea. it's just a normal rubbing of shoulders with an ex sch mate but it just make me feel so unbelieveable cos of all my journeys to johore, genting, malaca, KL i've never met anyone i knew but i actually manage to do so here, 8000miles away from SG. i thought the phrase "is a small world after all" can only be heard on tv but now i think, is a small world after all.

by the way our i was searching cd pro 2 - 7 and found out that our favourite film maker has revamped his website but no sign of no 7 but at least that mean cd-pro2 is still around haha YES~~. i was so worried that they never produce liao.

Polictically oblivion

Politic World
was watching "60 minutes the great debate" yesterday. it was a debate between the australia prime minister John Howard and the opposition leader Mark Latham. There was a panel of people which I believe are political press and politics analysis shooting questions at them. There was also audiences with a device on their hand and whenever they approved of what was said, they will press the approve button and vice versa. They was a total of 5 levels for each direction so viewers will get to see something like a wave going up and down as the leaders were speaking. They discussed issues from national security to health care to education etc. I am not very sure about the detail but I believe John Howard once said publicly he won’t increase tax or something like that but in the end, he did. So one of the panels asked him why the Australians should trust him again. That for me is the highlight of the show, seeing how both leaders trying to cover up their asses. After watching the show, I wondered will we ever see something like that in Singapore? The main differences between here and Singapore for me, is not really the weather or what but the way people see politics. I sorta have the feeling that we, Singaporeans are like little children compared to people here. Why? Because know nothing and everything is decided by our government. The people here respect and not fear their government and I’m not sure if the same could be said about us. On one occasion while John Howard was doing his rally, a man walked up to him and show him a bag of rotten cheese. He said to John Howard that he and his party are like rotten cheese that must be throw away. Imagine how may years you will get if you do that to Lee Hsien Loong? You can’t eat gums, sun bathing topless is prohibited, no nudity and coarse language allowed on tv, drawing graffiti will earn you canning and that’s your democratic government. To me, our government is somewhere between communism and capitalism. I don’t know man, we have to address them with a mister all the time, they control the media completely, they virtually have no opposition and we do whatever they say, is that healthy?
No no, I am not trying to start a revolution and I think credits have to go to them for making spore the way she is today. However, I can’t help but wonder how Lee Hsien Loong will look if he has to cover his ass on tv and waking up everyday flipping through newspaper that questions the government decisions.
Bottom line is I think they should be more freedom allowed. They want us to be creative but how can we ever be if we are constantly being told what to do instead of thinking on our own.

HE or SHE?

alright something quite interesting to talk about although it's really none of my business. Came across the blog of a secondary school classmate of mine. she was a female.....then. she was a year older than me cause she skipped the previous year with reasons ranging from violence to family and its that kinda background that made her catchy. few months into the semester, she became quite a teacher pet after topping several class tests and was attracting more and more interests from guys. Hence, confirming her status as the new girl on the block. so she has the looks, the brain and the world is under her feet. That is the end of story of her and our paths didn't quite crossed again

Alright so now 5 years later me and HIS path finally kind off intercepted with me discovering his blog. before that, i heard numerous stories about her cutting mohawk, tried every possible ways to conceal her chest and having girl friends that most natural men will be envy off. i never really see that as something fascinating because to me, she just want to have fun and one day she will realize that ultimately, it's every girl dream to wear a wedding dress and marry the man she loves the most. after that, she will realize it is no longer fun. ok so now 5 years later, she still hasn't wake up and i admit that point of view came from a person who ain't a big supporter of pro-homosexual. looked through her...sorry his pictures and it seems he is quite happy with life. His english is still as good as ever because he didn't really use a lot of big words but u know he is well capable of judging by the way he wrote and yet, able to make it interesting. think thats when you realize a person english is good when he/she can use ordinary words to produce extraordinary essays. no wonder he was my english teacher favorite student back in the days when he was still she.

i can't imagine the whole world opposing me playing tennis so i think gaywoman(as they like to be addressed as) have the freedom to do anything they like since it's their life. however, u just can't help but wonder what does the future hold for them? yeah they can adopt children but who will play daddy? how will the little child react when his friends start to compare among each other how big their daddy muscle were? after all, a dog can never catch mice for you and a woman can never perform a father role like a man can.

2004-09-03T23:37:00.000+08:00

quite tired today and also nothing much to say but still extremely disturbed by the event in Chechnya. i mean what have your independent got to do with those innocent people especially the kids? they don't care if chechnya should be free of russia rule, they don't care about islam and christianity. all they care about is where to go after school and what movies are on in the cinemas. Now at least 100 of their charred body is reported found. when will people learnt violence ain't solution?

English PremierSHIT

got some real exciting news and some damn sickening news. alright, lets talk about the exciting news first. the club that i've have been supporting since i was 10 or better known as Manchester United is about to buy the most exciting young player in Europe. Ok for those that don't know him, his name is Wayne Rooney and he was born in 24/10/1985. that make him a year younger than me. he made his premierleague debut on 17/08/2002 against tottenham hotspur at the age of 17. hmm think i was playing against Dunearn Secondary for Kranji Sec when i was 17... OK this fellow later went on to became the youngest ever premierleague scorer, youngest player to represent England, youngest player to score for England and youngest player to score in a European Championship finals. Because of all this CVs, my beloved manchester united is about to splash around 25-millions pound to lure him to old trafford. not sure if I'm even worth $25...alright 25millions pound is really a bargain if you ask me. the amount of publicity this guy can generate is enormous and with greater publicity come higher amount of shirt sales and ultimately, profits for Man Utd. putting the marketing value of him aside, this guy is only 18 with at least another 10 or more years ahead of him. those that saw him play will know that this guy is defenders worse nightmare. other than maturity which honestly he is not suppose to have, he has everything. strength, pace, flair and most importantly for Ruud Van nisterlrooy, the ability to drag defenders out of positions. yea football is a team sport which required great level of team works but, this guy can produce a moment of genius to change the outcome of a match all on his own.
All right after talking how exciting this season is gonna be for a man utd fan, the sad news is Starhub Cable Tv might not be showing EPL live anymore. why? because apparently the EPL have became so big that they are demanding around 300millions from ESS to cover live matches for 3 years. So ESS is demanding more money from starhub which starhub does not intend to pay. according to a friend, ESS is believed to be demanding an increase of 6 times the usual price. YESH!! A BLOODY 6X. i really don't know how am i gonna survive weekends from now onwards..football runs in my veins and taking away that is like taking away colours from my world. so now after telling my friends here that chewing gum is an offense and the price of a Mitsubishi Lancer in spore can get you a Mazda RX 8 here. now i am about to tell them, "in my nation, we don't get to watch EPL because it's too expensive". i don't know what their reactions would be. but mine is of anger, disbelief and disgust. watching movie is expensive, learning car is expensive and now..watching football is also expensive. haiz i don't know what is this world coming to...maybe one day, they'd start charging on stuff like using escalator and lift??? unbelievable? believe it

pretty busy for tom and chell back in sg recently i suppose cause its their birthday. turning 19 and 20 respectively..well not sure what to wish them but since they have their loves one beside them, my blessing would not be required. so just hope things will be smooth for the both of them in the future.
wow..i am turning 20 soon too no longer a boy, not yet a man. goshh the 1 will be gone from my infor forever. sounds scary but that's the way it is. i have never spend my birthday oversea before so spending my first 2nd decade birthday on my first trip to australia is special itself. hmm when i turned 10 i was pretty excited cos thats a milestone and i wonder what will be reflected in the mirror 10 years down the road. now i'm about to turn 20 and again i will ask myself this question , well well well there seems so much career choices just as it seems so little. sometime i think there is so much we can do sometimes i think there is not much we can do. but i am sure our parents been through this stage before and looks how far they brought us. 10 years down the road..have a family? be a father? haha sounds so weird yeah i love kids but becoming a father? tell a child what is right or wrong, provide him/her the best in everything, understanding there is no more 'I' but "my family" in everything you do..hoho sound tough isn't it? but that's a task which failure is not allowed. hee..lucky i have little gareth to experience with first. saw some of my peers blogs which some mentioned about the very controversial, debatable and unsettling topic and that is none other then 'future' a simple 6 letters word but sophisticated enough for us to sometimes sit on a couch and be in a daze for hours.
frankly, i'm sick and tired of thinking about that. that freaking words had been like a rubber band wrapping around my heart for the pass few years making my breathing more and more difficult. my mentality now is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" come what may, i don't think anyone of us will have to beg on street next time. my sec sch teacher once told me work hard and you will never go wrong and i think he is right. I don't know what the future hold for all of us except maybe cailing..but i think if we just work hard for it nothing should go wrong. as for myself, can't see myself in multimedia line honestly but will work hard in whatever i choose to do next.
once again sweet 19,20 to tom and chell and all those who passed that milestone.

SunYanzi

For my entry today, i am not gonna talk about how boring my project is or what i eat bla... Today. i am gonna talk about a person whom I knew for almost 3 years but she don't know me la haha. her name is ..Sun Yanzi.. when she first burst on to the music scene, i thought she is gonna be another one or two album wonder. She is so skinny and her stupid eyebrow is so thick. i remember a secondary school friend of mine told me "hey have you heard the new spore singer sun yanzi? her voice not bad sia". I replied, "aiya fuck off la dono don care la after awhile she will fade away one la" So one day under what circumstances i can't remember, i came across this song called "ai qing zheng shu"(love certificate) and I was like hmm nice song and i asked the same friend "oei you know who sang this song ai qing zheng shu or not?" and he replied "you knn sung by the sun yanzi i told you last time la jibye still say what fade away". From that day onward, the word "sun yanzi" became part of my knowledge which was quite a feat because i think the music industry especially the chinese one is rubbish. everyday there seems to be new commercial saying the voice of the century had arrived, the voice that will touch your heart or whatever shit and new singer was popping out everyday. I stopped listening to anything new because i find the whole music industry is in a mess and i still feel the same now.
Ok so why do i wanna mention about Sun yanzi all of a sudden? I was doing my video editing alone in a the lab with the voice of silent my only company. thus i pop in the cd from michelle and started listening to all of sun yanzi's tracks. As i started listening, memories began pouring in, i think of my life in spore, family, friends, cha quay tiao, eating bloody cockles, playing pool with friends, talk about people behind his/hers back haha and many many more. I don't know why but i find her voice so singapore and so familiar. what i heard everyday here is "how's it going mates?", Good day mates". its been a while since i heard "ji bye u know just now ah..", "wah lau eh knn li si chou si me lan jiao!!" which is why i suddenly understood her decision to take a break from music. You know, what the movies said are true. You have to lose something before knowing how much you miss it. I am sure she is sick and tired of going into recording studio everyday and what she needs is the urge to sing again. I can understand that now because i share some of that feeling now. my life in sg is basically, tennis, go out with pri/sec/poly peers and sometimes family and i find that kinda life boring. now, i can't wait to hear singlish and gossip and ktv and pool and ta ma de many many more la.
I don't think any other singers can make me feel that way so i finally understood why is she a "guo bao"(national treasure, if jey and mich are wondering what is guo bao). her voice seems to have something about it something hmm.. something unexplainable yet pleasant. ok i can never understand why she smoke but at least she admit it not like other celebrities who always smile and tell their fans to study hard and don't waste money and buy their stuff. my reply to that is lan par par lan. if they don't buy you eat shit every meal ah?
wah ta ma de i bo tai bo chi write so long liao ah. see? the power of sun yanzi. ok maybe just maybe if one day sun yanzi happen to surf the web and saw this page i wanna tell her. "thanks for all the great tunes, you are one hell of a singer but please quit smoking and thanks for making a few more millions people in this world know what the f**k is singapore"

NV give up

for the past 3 days i had been inside the computer lab on an average of 12hours/day staring at the bloody monitor till my eyes bacame bloody as well. my job is to come out with a non-linear DVD perfomance of a rougly 2hours threatre play call "terain terain terain". Despite all those hours, i haven't even started editing yet cos i am stuck at the #@$% digitising stage. the system here is so unlike how we work in sg. now i am using mac ,Final Cut Pro and using firewire instead of digi suite to digitise. sounds cool? yea i though so too but this new learning experince also mean i don't know what to do with the problems. whenever there's a dropped frame in timecode of the dv tape, the digitised footages will have off-sync audio and i tried every setting i could for the past few days to no avail. well guess final cut pro is too pro for me and maybe i should ask them for final cut not pro to use. On the positive notes, think all this set backs have made me more familiar with Mac and Final Cut cos i am spending f**king long amount of time on them. i always wanted to try my hands on final cut cos Rahim is always telling us how good it is and then splashing out colourful vulgarities on the coms in 2055. after using it, hell man rahim was right except for the digitising parts. the effects which is difficult or impossible to create in premier is just a few mouse clicks in final cut.
i've spoken to my clients and she say she'll speak to the pros and maybe tell me where can i use a digisuite as i've suggested that to her. but seeing the way people do things here, i think i'll have a long wait before she answer me. i initially set myself a 2-weeks target to finish this so i can join ky and mick on the non-linear cd using director. after seeing the footages and hearing the client expectation, i am more certain i can achieve that but the %!@#$# digitising part choose to stall me.in sg we can just go to office call ah boon or whoever if we have problems. but i know nobody here. well in circumstances like that i think i should remain calm instead of panicking. after all, i spend money here to experince this kinda stuff and if everything went smoothly, then my money won't be that well spent.
To my peers reading this. good luck on your itp and and please wish me luck too cos i need them now.

discipline

its been almost a month since i reached brisbane. I am settling down really well although i miss singapore life at times. you can never find any substitution for late night kopi session with friends be it my secondary or poly mates. Before i set off i made a resolution, to survive on a budget. so far i think i am doing okay cos i tell myself try not to spend more than AUS10/day. haha sometimes i think mick and keying think i am having financial difficulties because i am always the one not eating out or roming all over the place for cheap food if i am eating out. when we are in super market shopping for groceries, i always go for home brand which is the local brand and thus cheaper. most of my dinner here are either over-cooked or under-cooked rice or at times, funny tasting dishes. haha but guess wat? i am enjoying it. i see that as part as parcel of being oversea. The main reason why I wanted to come here is to experience working in another country and interact with people of other cultures. There's one more significant reason too, that is to gain something important which i do not posses which is discipline. While i was in SG, I do think twice before spending my money but now, after thinking through i can actually resist the temptation. I used to be very ashame on telling people that i've never washed my own clothes non cooked a decent meal for myself in my entire life, but thats history now. although they never mention, i think the reason my parents supported my decision of coming here is to see their son turn from boy to man. i am very keen to see their wish fulfilled. currently i have 1k left in my bank and my goal is to see that last for at least 1.5 month including paying rental.

So no fantastic food, using sub-standard materials, eating with half-empty stomach and living on a real tight budget but i am happy honestly. I don't know if i will go back to SG as a more skilled designer or on using direction? But i surely learnt discipline.

Hee..Yeah

today went to Harvey Norman and bought a digital camera. our original target was a 3.2 mega pixels which cost $199 but after we tested the camera, even the look of the sales assistant face suggested that the quality was not impressive. just before we were about to pay, keying and me felt that we might as well go for the $399 4.2 mega pixels which in the end was a decision well made. we went around today like 3 excited kids with a new toy. we walk we snap, we walk we snap, we walk we snap, we walk we snap, haha. Brisbane is really a very beautiful place due to the combination of old time and futuristic buildings. we will now be able to bring to u guys images of what's really happening here instead of jus using our blog and believe me, the 2 china bitches are really ugly. one even have armpit hair~~. haiz however today i lost my quicksilver snowcap. well..lets just forget it. from now onward our primary concerns will be doing project and taking good pictures.
gd luck frenz

POLITICS

well seems like the presidency election of the U.S is really hotting up. hmm my vote will be on Kerry and Edwards, I am charmed by the speech of Bill Clinton. He believe that America can't possibly go out and defeat all her adversaries while Bush thinks that America should struck before her enemies. To me, both are people of incredible high wishdom otherwise they would not be president of the most powerful nation in the world right? However in this case, what the Democrats are saying seems to make more sense to me. During Bush regime, we withnessed 9-11 and the attack on Iraq. Some of his decisions seems inevitable while some remain questionables. You can't help but feel for the family members of the American soilders stationed in Baghdad eagerly awaiting the return of their sons only to realise he never would. Bush, seems to protray a overly conservative leader. His main conern is to secure defense and make America impregnable which I think only possible if you are playing "Romance Of The III Kingdoms". Thus, the policies of the Democratics appeals to me. They believe that true, America should tighten up her defense but wouldn't it be better if you can make more friends than enemies? Which in another words, indirectly reducing attacks on America. They are also concern about the riches paying lesser tax while the poors still pay the same amount. On the lighter notes, haha com'on man i mean if Bill Clinton can find the time to have an affair. You know his regime was not a bad one.
Keying once asked me what the hell am I doing in MultiMedia instead of courses like social science or political sciene. Actually I've been wordering about that eversince I entered Poly. History was my only interest in secondary days and the only subject which i didn't study for the sake of studying. The thoughts of doing political sciene for degree did crosses my mind but that mean I have to start all over again which is 8 semesters and the fees is around 8-9k/sem. Picture this:
"Son what the hell is political sciene?"
"hmm you study about history and politics of different coutries which is my interest dad"
"So what can you do with this? Become Spore prime minister?"
"hmmm I don't know"
so as you can see my parents would probably think I am crazy to pursue that. There is also a small problem of my english standard. yeah I did score B3 for 'O' but then again who can't do that? I know myself very well, my english standard is between poor and average and if you want to do political sciene, Your english is either perfect or flawless. maybe gaston may meet the minimum requirments ba. Anyway just a thought.
Good luck to all my peers on your future.

If i were to write a dictionary, the world unhygienic will be defined as follow:

n .1) 2 fucking bitches from china with awful laughters
.2) ugly looking creatures which insist on speaking english despite not being fluent
.3) have the tendency to leave bloody sanitary pads and excretion on sitting area of toilet bowl

I used to though that I am a very unhygienic person but ever since i met that 2 lowlifes, i think i am clean like a prince now. We are now in the 3rd week of our Down under journey and i will now introduce a new character. His name is Ocean and he is another guy staying in our house. we didn't know much about him until yesterday as he is always not home. We now finally understand why. He used to have a roommate living with him but apparently that guy got so fucked up with that 2 lowlifes due to their noisiness and unhygienic, he moved after quarrelling with them. so poor ocean now have to bear the rent of living alone. If a guy couldn't stand a girl due to her uncleanness, you can imagine the sort of lousy and substandard cells, neutrons and blood that make up their body. Like us he can't stand them. But unlike us, he choose to deal with it by ignoring them and walking away. To the 2 fucking disgusting lowlifes,I don't know if women in your tiny winy, backward unknown village think exposing bloody sanitary pad and excretion is cool but here in singapore we don't do that. if ever you 2 are under the illusion of us handling this like ocean. Think again. If war is what you want then war is what you get and trust me you won't want that because NO ONE YEA NO ONE IN THE HOUSE LIKES U TWO. even my asshole is cuter than you 2, u heard me? fucking human of lowest quality.

currently working my brain juices oof on how to obtain an australia citizenship after yesterday night visit to "show girls". well since we don't have that in singapore and i personally haven't visit one before so we decided to go. i swear the just to experince part is true..well at least 60% true :D. so after around 15minutes of waiting out came a girl on the stage. a brunette, pretty tall in black bra and g-string. so she started dancing to the music and waving a body all over and with the aid of her partners. in this case, a few poles. within 10 miute a completely naked woman was on stage. yea yea be patiant i am going into that subject soon. Are the boobs big? the answer is NO! i don't know why either. i thought 'A' Cup wasn't suppose to exist on this part of the planet. If you find pubic hair weird, you will realise that it is stranger without. well for whatever reason, think those girls are under the instruction which say that they can't keep them. next up, a red head. this time slightly bigger build but the boobs size remains. she practically did what the girl befor her did except this time a guy decided to gave her tips. which i believe is around 10-20 bucks. so she pumped up the eroticness(don't know if there's such word) infront of him for a few seconds and THEN!! slowly guiding his hands up her tiny assets. haha ok at this point i joked to mick to watch over my stuff cause i am going to draw $500 bucks out. next up was a double act but this time, one of the girl is a 'C' and she's a blond and quite pretty. the reward for dancing naked infront of a dozen men must be too good to be refused since that blond girl can easily pass the cut as a model. another i realised was there is actually the audinces ain't like what the tv projected. big men with tattoo. infact i sported some chinese teenage girls among the crowd which god only know why they came here for? seriously me and mick wasn't very turned on which we didn't know why either perhaps afterall we are aians and still unable to feel completely comfortable in this kinda environment. so i suggest we should go there more until we are comfortable hahaha.

2004-07-21T21:32:00.000+08:00

today went to a sports store in city as i think that would be a idea place to look for souvenirs for jey tom and yj. well although i came away with no souvenirs, i certainly understood something. the Aussies must surely train very hard for their tennis. Why? Because the prices of their rackets suggested that the racket can double up as a M-16 or AK when needed. My 'wife' aka LMP which i bought in SG for rougly SG$240 was available at the store for AUS$334, so if you *1.3 to 334. you will be looking at around SG$434.2 for my 'wife'. Which is why i arrive at that conclusion since they are able to produce lleyton hewitt and mark philippoussis. i think if some tennis mad aussies were to step foot on queenway shopping center, they would probably think that they have just died and is now in heaven. well as for myself, no luck so far. haven't met anyone yet who seems keen to play tennis but hmm even if i met one so what? my 'wife' is more than 80000km away back in a place called Bukit Batok. well guess i'll just stick to the original gift for my two sons which i think they will like it or will they? as for yj think i just go to any bookstore and grab a copy of "idiot's guide to tennis" for him. think that's about all cause i don't feel like mentioning the retard, idiotic, ugly, self-centered, unhygienic, backward, gore, selfish, sensitive, stupid, lousy, noisy, uncomprehensive, overweight, rude, arrogant, lazy, irritating, hypocritical, abominable, detestable, loathsome and arduous chinese asses daughters of a china bitch. tomorrow will be a better day. goodnight.

2004-07-15T22:17:00.000+08:00

its been a weak since i touched in australia. slowly beginning to adapt to the life here which i would say it's slower when compared to spore. well although the life is slower here the price tag would properbly empty your wallet fast. a plate of chicken rice cost $9++ i don't know why? maybe it was cooked in the style which served the past emperors of china? actually australia seems to have more difference ethic groups living here. from chinese, indians to germans. it really is something u don't see in spore. also the sceneries here is fantastic blue sky white clouds majority of the time and the buildings all seems to have something special. going to start school on monday although i only have one unit haha. heard i'll be doing a project call providing database for the digital media bla something like that. my only reaction to that is "what the f**k"? well hopefully we will accomplish that successfully and end our stint in down under a memorable one. blessing to my family, peers and especially gareth.

As Markus Merk blew his whistle, the biggest football gala of 2004 has began. The two team which will contest for the 2004 European Championship were Portugal and Greece. Portugal with the likes of Christiano Ronaldo, Deco and captained by Real Madrid's Louis Figo as well as having home advantage was the overwhelming favourites to win, even the script say so. Greece on the other hand, featured players like Zissis Vryzas, Stelios Giannakopoulas and captained by Theodoros Zagorakis. Yeah the bloke that started 45 games for Leicester City in 2 years and was later released. As expected, the Portuguese came out with all guns blazing Ronaldo was his usual self as he try to show the whole world anything is possible with a football, Deco was dictating play all over, Figo was untouchable and little Maniche was chasing after every lose balls. But if Portugal attacking was top class, then Greece defending was world class. Every players know his roles and gave more than what was expected of him. They disagree with the saying that they have already done enough upon reaching the quarter final. Although they did not win any matches in a major tournament just alittle more than 3 weeks ago, they didn't came to Portugal to live the dream, they came to fulfil it. At 80-1 for the tournament, no one gave them a chance even after Angelos Haristeas, the fringe player of Werder Bremen headed in the goal in the 57 minutes, many were still expecting Portugal to come back and lift the Henri Delaunay trophy. After all this is surely the last chance for the golden generation of Figo, Rui Costa and Fernando Couto to deliever on the big stage. Surely something drastic is gonna happen right? Happen it did, Greece was crowned Europan Champion and deservingly so. They was no stars, no air and pure teamwork about this team. They proved to the whole world that you may not get anywhere by trying but you will get nowhere without trying. Well done Greece, your victory is not only a victory for yourself but a victory for teamwork, humility and most of all, trying.
