Something appealing run through my mind when I was lying on my bed. Come, ride on the Time Machine with me...

When I was primary 5 in 1999, when facebook and friendster doesn't exist(maybe there are other social networks), we had this trend of writing autograph book in the class. It was prevalent in the cohort where almost everybody owns the so-called autograph book(its something like a diary with nice pictures and fanciful designs on the cover). What we have to write in the book goes like this:

Name:
D.O.B:
Class:
Address:
Hobbies:
Favourite Food:
Favourite Drinks:
Favourite Colour:
Favourite so on and so forth and last but not least,
Secret Admirer:
Admire Most:

So after you finished your presonal information, you have to end off by writing a poem. It goes someting like this: "Dink Milo Be Hero Exam Comes Get Zero" those kind of lame shit. Haha. And the rule of thumb is that nothing must be left blank and everything must be written in coloured pens.

So, so, so, I got myself an autograph book too. Some girls are really fascinated by this hobby of writing autograph books or should I say they have an insatiable appetite for autograph book. One person can have up to 5 books. It does get boring when you have to write for everyone's book, writing the same stuff for umpteen times.

I was thinking to comb my house for that book but: "Eddy, don't waste your time lah. That book is gone long ago." And, and, and, Pokemon was also a hot stuff at that time. But I guess this trend no longer exist nowadays, as people always keep abreast with the latest trends and developments.

Like it or not, That's My Childhood!

I get fascinated easily by gadgets and luxury brands. Get an iPhone, Get an iPod Touch, Get a Macbook, Get a DSLR, Get a LV Business Cardholder, Get a Tag Heuer watch and spend everything at one go. Fcuk it just doesn't seem like a wise thing to do. And I shall only have all these in my dreams. This kind of lavish lifestyle and self-indulgence desires of mine should be eradicated. I will live frugally and have a proper financial management. Yes, this shall be the way.

But seriously, I'm going to get a driving license. Arron, let's do it!

Sometimes it gets boring to hang out at the usual places. 黑人droved us to Marina Barrage, a newly built reservoir, to 'lay-park'.

We were like some secondary school kids on excursion, exploring the barrage’s vast compounds and 'wow'(mountain tortoise huh) at the stunning engineering equipments. The Sustainable Singapore Gallery was an interesting one, where we saw an innovative barrage model demonstrating how the Marina Barrage works. Also, there was a gallery where we can snap a photo of ourselves, showing our commitment to make Singapore a better place to live in. Our faces were on the interactive media screen haha!

And, and, there was this random guy who approached me and asked: "Hey where do you get that shirt from?" Apparently, that wasn't from local culture.

今天还挺有意义的呐！

回了德光岛一趟，仿佛被时光机带到八个月多前的我。当时的我就像个noob一样，blur blur 地和爸爸妈妈来到这个岛上，心里在想："我的妈呀，why am I here？" 原来是国民服役啦！今天来到这里的身份就不一样啦！而且还有小小的福利哦，例如我用不着march from point A to point B, 随时都能使用手机哦！感觉挺棒的。当然在recruits面前就要塑立好傍样啦，要lead by example 吗！我会努力的把他们教好。加油！

话就说到这里啦，在此送你们一道题目：

What do you discern as the fastest on earth?

For me, the fastest is blink of an eye.

The next blink will be me ORD LOH!

大家好！好久不见。也好久没在部落格上滔滔不绝啦！

说到泰国嘛，上个月就去了一趟。这一去就待了二十四天呐。不知到怎么搞的，我还蛮想念泰国的嘞。哈哈。那里的吃可说是一级棒哦而且价格又偏宜。我常常都会跑去canteen吃哦而每一餐都少不了ice-cream. 他们所卖的ice-cream和Swensen’s 的类形一样，例如banana spilt@70 baht, 新币三元。不吃怎么对得起自己呢。哈哈。

当然那里的天气是超热的。大概早上十点，我所住的bunk就像是microwave oven一样。想好好睡一觉也不行。真糟糕！我所体验过最高的温度是四十二点七度，感觉自己好像被煮熟一样。所以呢新加坡的热度对我来说是No Kick lah! 哈哈。

我觉得最难忘的经验就是在一个三天两夜的Uncontrolled Navigation。我和伙伴们在一所学校过夜。By right, 我们只能在草丛里睡觉。By left, 不要被抓到就行啦。那所学校一个人也没有，可说是要风得风要雨得雨。我不thumbs up都不行啦。哈哈。

也就这样二十四天过去啦。当飞机降落在章宜机场时，我的心情可说是感慨万端，也可以说是凯旋归来啦因为没有被热死。哈哈。真的很感动！

I'm back to where I started and a new chapter unveils...

The day for Thailand has finally come, the last shit to go through before I graduate. There are a couple of things to look forward to:

1) Duty-Free Boutiques
2) Service standards of the Singapore Girls
3) Food in Thailand

I'll be back with 3 Chevron Stripes!

My Fate...

I shall decide!

There's a story inside of me

Many sadness inside my mind

I'm always thinking how should I live without all pains

I am shivering like a child in this deep darkness

Can you see, Can you feel my feeling

But I want to know my fate

Before my every hope fades away

Take my breath away

Take me higher as you can

I want to fly somewhere, far away from this world

Give me some wings as I can fly eternally

I know you just want to know what I'm always waiting for

You came in to my sacred room

But I shut my door

In the silence you can listen to your own heartbeat

Just believe what you see and feel

But you need to know my fate

Before my every blood is gonna freeze

Take me to the place that we met immorality

I want to fly somewhere far away from this world

Give me some wings as I can fly eternally

I will never be scared

Never ever die

I want to lose my mind to the end of the world

Don't look back and down

Time will never stop, never

A fruitful week with a couple of events happening here and there...

I had a chance to fly in a Chinook and the experience was amazing, from emplaning to deplaning. It was my first time to levitate in the air and though it was a short 10-15 minutes flight, I'm simply engrossed in the night scenery of Singapore and Malaysia. It's exquisite. Two thumbs up!!

Back to civilization, clubbing can be as enjoyable. The beat of the music makes you want to move your body and yeah, everybody just dance and go wild!! Haha. But still, I'm not so much into it lah. It shall be a 'Once in a Blue Moon' activity for me, simply for the fact that I don't like to stay out late and I don't really like drinking. I find it more worthwhile to spend my money on food. That's right. I'm living frugally as well in the sense that I'm saving for raining days. All thanks to my prudence.

And Ben, thank you for the pants. Thank you for the day, really appreciate it. I would like to comment that the two of your friends were pretty good at singing. They were entertaining us most of the time lolx.

Of course, the latest buzz in the East saw the opening of 'TampinesOne'. As a typical Singaporean, I went there to 'kaypoh'. Haha. Needless to say, the shopping mall is 'People Mountain People Sea'. Oops! Pardon me for my language. And the dominating store is 'UNIQLO' with a never-ending queue. Its as good as people queuing up for a $10million TOTO. Business was definitely brisk.

Soon, you will be seeing waves of people moving to the upcoming lluma Shopping Centre in Bugis. And that goes without saying, my next recce target. Haha. Although the economic outlook for Singapore may be grim, I believe that Singaporeans are still willing to part with their money. No qualms about it.

Happy times always fly. I will be flying.

The 'Garang' Elites

This is the first time that we actually took a photo during our field camp. And we had just removed our make-up(camo back after that =.=). ROAR!

One more thing...

It's been ages since I last took part in sports day. Back then it was during my secondary school days. Apparently, I was too lazy. Haha. So, this time round I was selected for the road relay run and brought back something for my mum:

I'm wondering how does it feel to 'chiong sua' for 4 days with sleep deprivation. Ahh, it definitely sucks. Fcuk that shit!

Survive, ok?

Devil says: "What the f**k are you doing? How can you leave your wife behind while you are happily washing your boots at the washing bay? Shagged cannot think? And due to your negligence, you have kindly volunteered yourself to look after PLC. Better wake up your idea."

Angel says: "It's alright Eddy. This is you first time going through it. Take it as a learning experience and figure out how it works. Besides, you still get to enjoy today right? Smile and carry on with life. Everything is going to be alright."

I'll make sure the angel kills the devil...

SHAGGED!!~But I'm still able to think what I want to type...

Alright. This week is going to be something different. I'm going to embark upon a new appointment as a lecturer, conducting lessons for my juniors(JC batch). I hope that they don't outsmart me and make me malu, if not I will dig a shell scrape to hide lols.

I always faced problems in public speaking. When it comes to presentation or even just a normal conversation with another party, all the 'er', 'ar', 'ee', 'lor', 'meh' and shit like this will come out naturally. And I'm trying hard to spurn the habit of speaking 'Singlish' as well.

I feel that speaking is a talent. I really do admire people who can speak very well and they are just good at talking. I admit that I don't have a beautiful voice and if I were to give a lecture, you would have most probably been taken away by the 'Z'-monster. Haha.

Practice makes perfect. I just wish to be near perfect. And Steve Jobs is really an outstanding public speaker. His presentation creates excitement in the audience and I'm sure that nobody is asleep during his presentation lolx.

Oh gosh. I'm being enticed to acquire an i-Phone...

2009-03-13T21:31:00.007+08:00

I'm going to catch the two of you:

Its been sometime since I last watched a movie. When I saw the poster of "Detroit Metal City", I was like: "wtf lols". What has happened to kenchi? Haha. His new image seems a little gawky. And this week, I became so addictive to arcade games that I would go to the canteen to play right after lunch. This is bad. Really bad...

2009-03-08T09:23:00.002+08:00

I'm elated to have found you.

I like to read the success story of people. It gives me inspiration and motivation to do well in life.

2009-03-01T11:03:00.003+08:00

For the benefit of those who don't know...

The LTA has opened 2 new stations, Pioneer and Joo Koon stations, extended from Boon Lay station yesterday. And Joo Koon station is in close proximity to my camp.

i.e. to say, I do not have to take a bus separately to my camp anymore.

Thumbs up!!

New Fever

The new release Street Fighter IV has created a craze in Singapore. The overwhelming response can be seen in groups of people gathering around the sf4 machines and there are players at all times. I personally fell in love with this game with the overhauled visuals and 3-D animation effect. The character moves and skills are more realistic compared to other fighting games such as "Marvel vs Capcom 2", which are more exaggerating. The best part is to be able to execute the character's ultra combo. Awesome!

Without further ado, W W NG purchased the sf4 Xbox game console and we combed the whole of amk and funan for the fcuking joystick controller but everywhere was OOS. $%#*&@. The selling rate is unprecedented I guess. Haha. And, and now

It's time to kick some asses in sf4!

S'PORE'S MR BIG(LAO DA aka big brother of troubled Sunshine Empire rose from construction worker to big boss with big smile, big show)

The headline on The Sunday Paper caught my attention...

Mr James Phang, president of MLM firm Sunshine Empire, was charged for running a Ponzi-like scheme involving millions of dollars raised from the public. This person claimed to be a legend, better than Warren Buffett( if he's still alive, he's supposedly the richest man on Earth). And I personally had 2 encounters with this company.

The first encounter was in 2005. Back then, this company was known as NTI(Niutrend International). I was being brought by my ex-colleague to NTI and it was the first time that I came across a MLM firm. I wasn't sure of how it really works and at that time they were selling aromatherapy(aka essential oils). I did not join them despite their aggressive selling, telling me how I could earn 5 figures through their pyramid networking.

The second one was in 2006. My primary school friend brought me to Sunshine Empire(formerly known as NTI). This time they were involved in some wireless phone call projects in Taiwan. I joined them as one of the members as the returns were very attractive. And partly because of peer pressure and I was too naive at that time. Made a loss of $500+.

The good thing was I stopped investing in their programs and did not recruit any people. I simply don't like the feeling of asking people to join and in return, I earned money from them through the network. I will feel guilty. True enough, MLM does allow you to earn big bucks but I guess is only those who are at the top of the network. And well, MLM just doesn't work for me.

I have some friends in this company. Hopefully, they get back their money. Just keep an alert for this company if somebody tries to get you in.

That's all folks!!

I suddenly had this interest in blogging and I just got myself a facebook. Haha. Maybe I'm too free nowadays and hopefully these will keep me occupied. A number of things happened recently which I'm feeling rather down. Well, I will just accept it and life still goes on.

Oh ya!! I'm officially 21st TODAY!!!
