Thereafter, some Principles of mine...

1) Never make empty promises. Don't make promises I can't keep.

2) Protect the girl I love, more dearly than my M-16 rifle.

3) Never make a girl cry! Otherwise, RUN!!

4) Never provoke a lady! You don't wish to provoke them at the wrong time.

Actually, there are a lot more, just stating some with regards to my earlier post.

Girls crying..

I saw a lady (20+ to 30) weeping at Outram MRT station today.

I was on my way back to Hougang by train, and there I was, walking towards to one of the door near the 'tail' of the train.

I happened to catch a glance on this lady whose eyes were red, and tears rolling down her cheek. There was a man beside her, who seemed to be consoling her.

I didn't stop my pace to my door, but I was wondering whether the man had hurt her or not.

And this wasn't my first time seeing girls who were crying, in fact this is like my 4th time noticing such "phenomenon". And there was once, an affair between two young teens, they were quarrelling at the bus stop at Sengkang. The boy was like yelling at the crying girl, "Who saved your life?" (Ya, he yelled, I overheard okay...) , and the girl was crying and talking back to him, "Who paid for your bus card etc..!" (This is really quite dramatic, I didn't really get to stay put and hear the whole story out.)

Anyway, it seems to me, that man are breaking the hearts of girls.

Lately

Once again, I am getting busier with the exam drawing near, and work load still weighing me down.

And yes, seems like I can spent 3 hours at lab doing nothing today...
So now, I need to work doubly hard to get my program out.

Sigh!~

What am I doing here now!!

Argh,
zhaoru.

Getting bored in Singapore

I heard from my friend about a trip to Japan organised by my school at the end of this sem.

I always wanted to go and see what it is like in Japan, and also, if possible, have a feel of the winter season! SUGOII!!!

I'm very excited about this, so right now I really need to find a sponsor!!!
*__*V


excited,
zhaoru.

Dinner tonight!

Tonight, it was an exceptional night when I took up my chopsticks during dinner.

I ate so much vegetables including the most dreaded bitter gourd!
My grandmother, and everyone else were surprised.
Well, I did tell them that I can eat vegetables, just that I chose not to most of the time.

I think I'm giving another chance for vegetables to come into my diet.
It didn't taste that bad afterall!
^_^

But I wonder how long I will be keeping this up~

Anti-vege act, countered,
zhaoru.

Alan's Wedding!

HOHOHO~

Finally, my friend Alan had found his girl!
They are holding a wedding dinner at next Saturday, 2nd oct!

I'm very happy for him! And bless him with all happiness!

Cheers,
zhaoru.

Friends or Tools?

When we termed people as friend, do we treat them as FRIEND or just a tool?

I do had some friends' whom had such perception that some 'friends' are tools.

To be frank, I'm very furious upon hearing such views or these 'lines between sentences'.
I can almost let myself condemn my friend if he/she was to say that!

*****************************************************************

However, sometimes I do feel like a 'tool' myself, but when I reflected on myself, I think my good friend, Mark (my master!) will think that I had treated him as a tool too.

The FACT is, I never TREAT YOU as a tool, Mark! You are always a good reliable friend of mine!

It just happen that I'm a computer-hardware/software idiot and when I needed help, YOU are the first I might have approach! I'm very grateful to your kind and generous attitude in helping me, and it seems you are always so busy to come out and have a lunch with me. T_T

*****************************************************************

So, whether a person is a 'friend' or 'tool' to you, I think we should first think about what the meaning of "friendship" is to ourselves.

Long LIVE~ Friendship!
zhaoru.

I met a friend today!

Just moment ago, I was at Bishan to watch New Police Story. I was surprised to see Patricia ( O_o hope that's her name).

She's actually my friend's friend.
And so I asked her what she's working as now, she told me she had become a teacher!

Heh! And she is teaching chemistry, which reminded me of the days when she was complaining about memorising stuffs of chemistry in the JC.

Life can be full of surprises!

Cheers,
zhaoru.

Dream or Real?

Last night, it seemed like I had a dream.

I dreamt of my left leg cramped in the middle of the night, and it is painful!

Then again, when I woke up this morning, I do feel the sensation after a cramp! o_O

Wonder is it real or not,
zhaoru.

MP3 went swimming

My MP3 was drowned in a pool of water!

This happened a few days ago. I kept my mp3 in a pocket of my pants.
And I forgot to take it out before taking my bath, hence it was left in the pants and later, was dumped into a pail of water by my mum.

While sitting at my living room, taking my dinner, I suddenly came to realise about my mp3. I quickly took it out from the drenched pants and saw the display half-filled with water.

I WAS SO SAD! Well, fortunately, my mind was calm enough to take out the battery and quickly shaked out the water in it.
Then I spent half and hour using a hair dryer to heat up the vapour inside the mp3 and hope that via evaporation, I could dry it up.

AND YES! I managed to dry up the last of all vapour even at the LCD display.
I was happy that my mp3 is working fine after all that hassle!

What an alarm! ~_~
zhaoru.

No time!!?

Well, time procrastination is a really bad habit when it comes to time management problem.
I believe this is true for all, most of us like to push our work till tomorrow whenever we feel overloaded.

For me, I travelled to school everyday.
Most of my friends asked why I don't get a hostel, well it's just not for me I guess.

Since I travelled to and fro from NTU to Hougang, I tend to "use" the travelling time for sleep, but really though it don't seem to be a bad idea to get some sleep during the trip, it can be more tiring when you woke up from turbulence, or watching out for the destination stop.

Well, I didn't really get to sleep because very often I don't get a seat in the morning trip to school.
Thus, I am standing, leaning against beside the door in the train. And by resting my weight on one leg, it really stressed out my knee easily. (it hurts)
The last secret technique I will use, is to sleep while standing.

Upon reaching home, it is usually late in the evening. After I refreshed myself, it seems that I'm always in a "lack-of-sleep" condition, and tonnes of work waiting for me to deal with.
I feel like I'm always short of time, I wonder how.

When I see my peers moving up their gears, I really wish that I could do the same as well.
I've been trying.
********************************************************

"Where do you want to go and have your lunch today?"

"canteen 3."

"BUT it's raining!"

"CHIONG!"

obstinate about the food found in canteen 3,
zhaoru.

Lotz of work!

After going through my notes during the one week break, I've realised I had not been doing enough.

Right now, I'm trying hard to get myself to put 80% of my time into work.

Sounded like an alarm, I guess I will not be online that much often soon.

"It's a jungle out there, boy."

"Got bananas?"

"ehrmm, no..."

"ow~"

reluctant to fight the war,
zhaoru.

The week has passed.

Well, finally, the mid term one week break is all over, today is the first day of school once again.

I just hope I can revise and do my work from here onward~

GAWD!!!!!!!!! HELP me!!!!~~~~

praying,
zhaoru

time to work again... 

I'm soooo sad...

I can't believe it, while inking that "gillian" sketch, I committed serious errors and the master copy is gone~

T_T kanashii~~ (sad sad)

Now, I left only the scanned one,

Twins

I'm not a cantonese, and I bought Twins (Girl Power) album recently.
I had been listening to it for the whole day.

Initially, I don't think any of the songs has a tune to it after listening once through the whole album. So I repeated the whole tracks in the cd and listened for a few more times.
And I began to notice some nice tune and music, but it seems that there were more than 20 different songs in the album (there is only 11songs).

So I thought it was probably due to the fact that I don't understand the cantonese they were singing.

Trying to learn to listen and understand cantonese,
zhaoru.

Today is a good day...

Great NEWS! (for myself) ^. ^V

Middlesborough Had WON 3-0 in their first time campaign at UEFA Cup competition!

Let me hail the GREAT Mark Viduka and Hasselbaink for scoring the 3 goals.

This is a good news to begin my day.

Cheers,
Zhaoru.

Finally!~

As I flipped to the last page of my lecture notes, I can feel that my brain is out of juice or space for anymore storage.

Technically, I termed it as a mental block.

Well, my sis just came back in time with a set of japanese meal for me!
(She saved my day!)

The fan... 

I'm a slow coach.

Time to time, I have been wondering whether I'm really slow at picking up things.

In secondary school days, I am always with my group of friends, namely, Dave and Philip.

To me, they were like my seniors even though we were in the same class. They were more street-wise, and it seemed that at that age, they had already familiared themselves with most of the places in the city.

In their conversations, I was always at a lost. It seemed so distance apart, yet I wanted to say something, anything with them! (chap jeka) Most likely, I will end up being teased and joked around. ~_~a

They guilded me into the AVA club in the school. And I learnt video camera from Philip who was the IC that time. David on the other hand, teached me a bit of camera shooting stuffs.

I'm always glad to have them around me. Cause I know with them beside, I won't get lost.

Maybe I was too dependent on them then. So now, I have to suffer the consequences and started to get lost easily... (got to learn things the hard way then)

*****************************************************************

During my JC days, I thought Physics was really hard. I seemed to understand what my teacher was trying to explain, but not what the questions were asking.

Only till when I'm back to studying after my National Service, I realise I can now understand what those basic Physics law are talking about.

I began to wonder why I couldn't understand such simple stuff. (eg. there was a question in the exam, which wanted to find a speed of a shuttle or watever, in a day , travelling a given distance)

I just didn't get the catch that a day is 24hr, 24x60 min, 24x60x60 sec. And thus the question was left blank. If I didn't remember wrongly, it was my Physics exam paper 3. I left with nearly 80% of the paper blank.

I couldn't think, my mind was in a blank, I was panicking, after the exam, all I could do was to pray.

I got a D. I wasn't happy though I managed a pass.
The solution was later taught by my friend (candle) to me. ^_^

********************************************************************

Perhaps, I'm really a slow coach.

While people have already boarded the bus, I'm the one left behind chasing after the bus.

This did not sadden me because I always look on the bright side.
"However slow one can be, as long as he keeps running and chasing, he will still pass through all the bus-stops eventually!"

reflecting,
zhaoru.

When I'm sad...

When I'm sad,
I am alone.

When I'm sad,
I don't talk to anyone about it.

When I'm sad,
I tried not to cry in front of others.

When I'm sad,
I would dwell upon it for quite some time.

When I'm sad,
tears will be relieve when I sleep.

When I wake up,
I will brighten up myself and move on.

A review!

OH mine!

Looks like I have let my interest run the show around in my blog, instead of writing some stuffs on myself.

Well, a picture is worth a thousand words I guess! And thanks for all the compliments or critics from all of ya! I will work harder to improve my drawing skill!

Maybe later part of the week, I will place some comic strips up to tell a story ! Maybe... (that is, if I have time to spare)

So stay tuned to my blog!

Hygiene at Fast Food restaurant

I went for dinner at a KFC outlet this evening with my good friend.

I reached there early and sat at a seat near the rubbish bin inside the KFC place.

Then, one of the staff (or should I say the staff which I hated) was clearing the trays while I was reading my notes which I had brought along.

I peeped up and watched as he "cleaned" the tray...

At first, it's usual to throw everything into the bin. Then he placed the tray aside, and opened up the bin, took the bucket of rubbish out, and start using BOTH of his hand to squash the rubbish flat (so that more rubbish can be collected in a single bag).

After that, he put the bucket back into the bin, and start wiping the trays!

"OH MY GOD! " I thought to myself. I could hardly believed this if I weren't there to witness it.

He didn't even bother to wash his hands first before cleaning the tray! So what's the big fuzz about that?

Imagine this, he is handling the tray with his left, and holding a cloth by his right hand cleaning the tray. Oh man! I was disgusted by his act, and nearly felt like walking off.

What's worse is my friend had arrived, I quickly changed seat to somewhere further.

When my friend got to me, he said, "oh, I see something unsightful."

I said, "Me too! You should see that guy cleaning the trays!"

He said,"Yep, that's what I saw!"

T_T Morale here: BEWARE OF TRAYS in Fast Food Restaurants! They might be a new source to food poisoning! And NEVER Let your french fries touch the TRAY!

Chester boy stats
(His stats were given from my point of view... WAHAHA!) O_o

Quek Quek stats (as requested) 

My good friend: Ah Peng stats 

Zhaoru stats
Starting from the top in clockwise direction:
1) craze for food
2) love for sleep
3) energetic level
4) memory level
5) generousity

more stats of my friends are coming out!

I quit!

1) After serving the National Service, I have got used to life without television. Since then, I have not been able to settle down to watch a single programme, except for some prime time special shows. Instead, I go for movies.

2) I have quited gaming, very seldom, I will play Championship Manager 4 or starcraft. Instead, I went to learn chess- Wei Qi (Go). It's a game of patience, experience, and tactics.

3) And now, I have quited gunbounding. I decided to give my account to my good friend. (Given)
If anyone wants the formulaes for gunbound machines, I can tell you how to use every machines. It had been fun playing with some of the guys inside the game, but it's all over. Time to work.

let it free, let it go...

I was once told "let it free, let it go..., if it's yours, it will be back."
(讓它去, 是你的, 終究會是你的.)

When I first heard of it, I believed it sounded logical. It is of similar meaning of letting fate decide what it should be...
But now, I believe in putting the effort to what or whom you treasured, instead of letting fate solely takes its course.

Well, it's like: If u believed that fate is predestined; opened up your tarot cards.
If you believe that you hold the fate of yourself; changed it.

old memories,
zhaoru

Dream!

I have not been getting dreams while I sleep in the past few weeks.

As a habit, I played music before I sleep. I don't play lullaby, but chinese pop, especially singers like Jay, Jolin, FIR, Cyndi, J-pop, Utada Hikaru, Ayumi, etc .
I noticed that as soon as my hearing senses went off, I'm as dead as a log.
The next moment when I opened my eyes, it is morning .

What I feel is that I might be missing something- my dream phase!

This kept me wondering if dreamless-sleep is good or bad, because I wouldn't like to have a nightmare or something popping into my head when I was asleep.

Maybe I have inbuilt sleeping-pill ability?
zhaoru.

Kids! Don't try this at home~

Here, I'm about to tell something silly I did.

I was wondering what is it like for a person to live without air.
Thus, there was a night when I was going to sleep, I wrapped my blanket over the head!

I began with one layer of blanket (means I didn't have the blanket folded) and I can still take in air through the tiny openings of the blanket.

What I did next, was double fold and covered my head again, ensuring minimal openings.
Then I began to breathe in it, I realised the air I'm in-taking was lesser with each subsequent breath I took. Suddenly, I came to the point that I had NO air! I couldn't breathe at all, there was no air, but then it didn't seem to me that a vacuum was formed!

I quickly unwrapped my blanket within seconds, and soon find the delight in breathing fresh air again!

I thought to myself then : "How nice it is to be breathing...again."

verifying signs of life, ^_^V
zhaoru.

The rumour...

This was what happened during my secondary school days.

My friend was playing with me, he accidentally punched me. I wasn't hurt, then I looked back at him, he was reciting sorry to me. The next thing I remembered was chasing after him to get back a punch at him. lol

Then the rumour began, "Zhaoru has a 5sec reaction time even after he was hit! We can surely run to safety after pulling a punch or something at him."

Well, what can I say?
Maybe it's for you to find out.

d^_^b

I'm RoboCop

RoboCop is the nick I received while through out my life in the army.

(1) My fellow camp-mates told me I walked like a robot, do things like a robot in its usual routine and is always using brute strength.O_O

(2) My CSM (company sergeant major) also liked to ask me to attend any form of parade, just because I'm quite tall and march like a programmed robot.

(3) My bunk-mates told me I speak in an uniquely quite monotonous-robotic way. They find the perfect match to the robocop in the show when my face can show no expressions at times.

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

I wish to defend myself with the following I'm about to say:

"My unit was meant to carry and assemble a raft manually using labour, if anything don't work out smoothly, the only resort is with brute force on the equipment."

"It's true I find myself losing the 'swing' while walking, I even consulted a friend on how to walk to be considered as walking 'normally', the truth is, they were all crappy."

"I don't like the only one thing in the army, and that is the hierachy structure for flowing of information to the top, it took months to report something which you might not even get a reply. However, I do like to do my drills with my best efforts."

"They said in army, you have no life. What do you expect from my tone to speak of anything concerning SAF standing orders."

"Same explanation goes for my expression 'problem', who would stare at people you faced all the time in army after knowing he's a back-stabber!"

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

I'm glad that I'm back to normal life. But then again, my nick became "Lao gao" (gorilla).
I will explain that maybe sometime later.
T_T

My Favourite Food!

Yes, I don't take vegetables most of the time.
That doesn't mean I like to eat chicken rice all the time.

My favourite local food is the WANTON MEE! Yeah! I love it! (especially if it's tasty)
Undoubtly, I can eat wanton mee for everyday. I just like the cha siew and wanton. Oiishii~
(Not to mention those bad wanton mee stalls)

Wonder if someone got a craze for a certain type of food like me?
^_^V

Do I look beng?

After I dyed my hair and keep it longer a bit, people said that I look like ah beng (hooligan).
My sister commented that I look like an ah beng, and also like some comic character.
My grandmother was in total disagreement initially, she also said that I look like a "pai kia" (bad boy).

And while I was on the bus today, I was sitting at the outer seat in a two seater, no one dares to ask for the "inner" seat from me. T_T
Maybe I looked too stern + image of bad boy = "better don't ask!"

Geez, the truth is, I AM A GOOD BOY! lol.

Most of the time, people judged a book by its cover, thus, bring forth the issue regarding self-image.

I wonder should I dye back my hair to black someday.
For some reason I feel like keeping moustache or beard haha (then will I look like a terrorist?!).

Just thinking,
Zhaoru.

Rain

"tick tok .... tick! tick! tick!"

"Pull the roof!" said mum.

My dad would rush to the kitchen and let the zinc roof rolled down into place.
Then the noise would filled up the house and became deafening.

I would make my way to the balcony, and tiptoed with my arms straightened, just to feel the weight of these tears from the sky falling onto my little palms.
"Why i call it tears? ... because they tasted saltish."

Then I would go into my grandparent's room, and looked out through the window till I fell asleep.

I like those days... ...

Yes, the epic continues...

Have you watched the Borne Supremacy?
Recall that Borne is suffering from anesia. He had flashes of the past and places which helped him to recollect his memories.

Well, I had flashes of places which I visited before too. The only difference is there's just something not right about me. I always find myself losing my way.

Here's what I did last night:
I was going for a show with a friend of mine. Through the phone, we agreed to meet at orchard cineplex. I thought there would not be room for any more stupid mistakes since I just visited orchard two days ago (with the large box, remember?)

Things really do went wrong all the way.I prepared myself early, so as to make it in time for the show.

1) When I got out of my home, I realised I forgot to bring along the drawings I wanted to give to my friend.
2) When I got to orchard, I wondered why I exit via Orchard Boullevard.
3) I walked by the back of Wisma Atria and saw Shaw house (lido) and thought that was the cineplex
4) I couldn't find my friend.
5) I called her, autheticate the location and find myself at the wrong building.
6) I ran through orchard road to the cineplex.
7) I over-ran pass the cineplex, make a U-turn and finally reached.
8) At second floor, I walked into pasta-mania, and found out that the passage way was blocked.
9) I was awefully late for the show.

Well, though my friend had a good laugh at me. I still think I need to apologise to her for being sooo muddle-headed.

I SWEAR! NEVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN!
T_T
sadly, the lost lamb,
Zhaoru.

Time to think of my future!

OK! Now the important part of my life is descending towards me.

It's time for me to choose my Industrial Attachment!
After going through all the companies listed, I think I'm gonna venture into Power engineering, and maybe next time work in a Power station or something. Weeeee~~

Well, how I wish there's an oversea IA to Japan and join into those MANGA projects! I would have love it, and never to return back to Singapore! O_o

Hehe, think lazy-wise, I might just find a nearby corporate and finish my IA, BUT no! I intend to learn something out of this, so it better not make me a coffee boy when I get to the company...

I believe... ...

*Man and woman, can be friends, just friends.*

I referred to the site which was introduced by a friend of mine, stating that Man and woman, can never be friends by a theory known as the ladder theory.
There is only friendship when 3 special conditions are present.
1)The girl is not appealing at all
2)The guy had a higher calibre girl in his mind
3)The guy is gay

However, personally, I do have a girl-friend who is sweet, intelligent, talented, and rich. I believe that there would not be many other girls that can beat her qualities. And lastly, I'm not a gay.

Definitely, I tried courting her before, in a simple fashion, I was turned down. However, we are still friends. We got together sometimes to catch up with each other's life.

It's nice to have a girl that I can speak to "semi- freely" ( no abusive language used, usually replaced by names of fruits or animals). Nevertheless, she definitely find me as a "good target" to be abused. Well, she thinks that taking on me, might boost her ego, lol (joking).

She had asked me what type of girl I would like to find:
"I would find her presence pleasant."I replied.

"What if she is demanding, and require changes from you?"
Though relationship do build upon compromisation, I stated, "I would like someone to accept what and who I am (same goes for my partner), I personally believe that there must be a room of freedom in a relationship, ( I don't mean freedom to go out and flirt!) just time to do each other's stuff (requires trust and understanding). And if the two of us really love each other, we would have learnt to accept each other's short comings, and not forcefully or relentlessly demanding for changes."

Yes, I'm a nobody as yet to become somebody. My words only express my thoughts via simple sentences ( I ain't a good writer). But I believe even though the world had become quite materialistic, true and simple love can still be found.

Poor NTU student,
Zhaoru.

Encounter #2

If you happened to be in Orchard Road today, and spotted a guy carrying a large box walking around, it should be me.

After buying the scanner, I took it along with me and walked from SLS to Orchard road. I was suggesting to take a short train ride, my friend insisted on a walk. T_T

In short, I was walking with this box the whole day today. We went on to meet another friend who was going to pass an Ipod to dave. And we went to eat BK. Then went off to get some desserts.

After the gathering session, when my friend was walking back with me to dobby ghaut MRT station, he said to me, " If it had been others, they would have given up (in carrying the box) and went back home."

Hehe, I wouldn't mind all the effort to carry the box to and fro from dobby ghaut to orchard.
More importantly, it's friendship that matters.

Cheers to you, David!

Encounter #1 today

**************************************************************************

Yes, I went out with a friend of mine, David (I prefer to call him dave) to Sim Lim Square today, and bought my scanner. But really I have to comment this: Singapore had bad sales service;

When I went to shop#1, the shop tender directed me to another counter for questions regarding scanners, so I approached the guy at the other counter. He quoted me the price of the two scanners which appeal to me at first. I went off to a side, still undecisive to buy it. So, I decided to ask for the price of other model of scanners from cannon too.

I went back to the same guy after he had attended to a customer. He frowned and fustratedly told me to approach the people from Cannon, who were separated by a stack of boxes, behind him. My friend and I walked up to them and asked for the price, out of three of them, one lady, reluctantly responded to our request. She walked off and returned shortly, quoted us the price and went back to her place where she was earlier. No one cares about promoting sales. I'm disgusted by their attitude. "Let's go to another shop~" I said to dave.

The second shop had too few models to choose from, even though the two lady salesgirls were nice, trying hard to cater to our requests. So, we moved on.

We came to a shop#3, where there was a fat-looking uncle resting his weight on one leg, and shaking the other. We saw the models available in the shop. We asked for the price, and he quoted me $189, which the shop#1 was $10 cheaper.

I said," Nah, don't want."
He heard it, without hesitating quoted me $179, 10 bucks lower for LIDE 30 Cannon scanner (slim).

"Now, we are talking." I thought to myself.
I asked him for the non-slim model, he quoted $139 to me. Well not bad, after comparing both specifications. I asked the man to show it to me then.
"Well, how?" asked the man.

I was undecisive again, and I asked , " What advice would you give for buying scanner?"
He simply pointed out to me: 1) slim or non-slim scanner will always be displayed at ur home.
2) they take up same amount of surface area, just a matter of
thicker by a few cm.
3) Since I told him I'm a window XP user,
hack care about the Macintosh
compatiblility and just buy the non-slim one, since it's cheaper.

He stated his points clearly, Dave and I went impressed. I gave him the deal, and bought the scanner from him. It was clearly shown that this man was interested to showing us around and giving his opinion to his customers (though he got a guai lan face lol). He made his effort, I gave him the deal, full stop. I just can't stand the way Shop#1 do their business.

Im so fortunate!~

Well, this post is dedicated to my sister!
She had always treated me well, though I "bullied" her when I was a small boy.

It seems that she had a generous and forgiving heart.

I'm grateful to her, for buying me things and stuffs I need and like!

And today, she bought me a cologne! Totemo ii no onnesan desu!
^_^

Right now, I'm feeling so happy and fortunate to have a sister.
I promise to treat her back next time when I started working !

I do recall, that Dave, mentioned something about the way I speak english.

He commented," It sounds weird for you to talk in english with me."

What he meant was that I seldom communicate with him in english, and he feel that I speak like a foreigner.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had other memories in my primary school at Parry. I was always together with a group of friends, one from India-- Sumit Malik, one from indonesia-- Handoko, two from Thailand, Surasak, and Kitisak (brothers). Yes, all foreigners.

In my primary school, I joined the speech and drama club, my friend Alvin, gave his comment after a speech recording session, saying that I speak like a Japanese reporter.

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

And recently, in a lab of mine, the tutor commented to me," You have the ascent of a Malaysian."

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

Oh! There was one more time during my JC days, when I was the President of the AV club. I was to gather my AV members after school, hence I made an announcement via the P.A system.

"Sorry for the interruption. All AVA members please gather at the office at 4pm. Attendance is compulsory. Thank you."

I think that's the line I spoke in the announcement, and as soon as I have finished speaking, my Principal came, and asked, " Who made the announcement just now?"
I replied, " It was me."
"Oh! Nice voice you have. " she commented and walked back into the office. O_o

Then when all my members gathered, they asked who made the announcement too, they said it don't seem to be from my voice! O_O;

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

Erhmm, well, all these comments might mean two ways, good or bad to me.

And I don't think most people are being sacarstic to the way I speak. ^_^

mystery of my voice, unsolved.

RPG and Friends

Maybe I am fantasizing too much about the fantasy world of RPG games. (Role playing games)

But listen, very often or not, we have a group of friends around us which we stayed together. I think it's like what we played in the RPG games, a party, ready to embrace any danger and adventure in life.

Each friend is like a character who join us in our campaign, and they play a significant role in our life.

The Fighter/Warrior type: Friends who like to be the first to attempt in anything they find interesting. The brave and boh chup type.

The Cleric/Sage: Friends that give support, heals your wound when you met with an obstacle in life. Gives you guidance and hopefully enlighten you.

The mage/spell-caster: Friends within the group that are observant and calm at situations. Usually analytic of the surrounding, but seldom speak.

The Priest: Preacher.Talks too much without helping.

The Thief: Likes to gather information amongst friends and gossip to other groups. Well, sometimes you would love and hate.

The Joker: As the name implies, the one who jokes around, make your laughter heard! Someone who can sacrifice own image to brighten up people.

The Berserker: Geez, practically full of brawn with little consideration of how his action might affect the group. Reckless, muscleman.

The Knight/Paladin: Intelligent and have leadership qualities. You might felt his/her aura when you are around him/her. It's just special, can't be comprehended.

Well, right now, I have only explained the relative type of friends that might correspond to the kind of character you find in playing RPG games.

So, which kind of character role do you play amongst ur peers?

The week's Over

YESSSss.....

Finally, this dreadful week is over!~
I managed to hand in two reports by the deadline.

And most importantly , I need to catch up my sleep.
I haven't been sleeping in my regular timing, the clock in my body is spoilt.
I need to tune it back by next week.

GANBARIMASU!!!!!!!!

My kind of "art"

Well, for those who know me since secondary school days, I haven't given up drawing yet.
Though being at University had been rather busy, but I still draw during the inter semester holidays. ^_^

Well, I was trying to brush up my coloring, however, I lack of the finance to really buy those GREAT pens for coloring. So, as substitutes, these drawings are colored with COLOR PENCILS!

Not bad eh?! Well, leave your good comments here, and keep your bad comments. LOL.

As for now, scroll down and have a look. Whoever wants a copy can tell me, I can color print them for you.

Hmmm, Yes, Candle did mention that I should draw some hunky or handsome guys instead if I were to show some pictures to girls. Who is willing to pose? I wonder...

another one!

As you all can see, I photographed my works via a digital camera, this is the best view I can reproduce the drawing to show it here, hopefully it's clear enough.

drawing on jolin

This drawing took me one whole day, to capture jolin eyes, expression etc...
Cheers.

Yes, finally i managed to get this up, one of my drawings, kinda mangalistic...

My sense of direction

Being good at topographing in terrain training makes me feel good when I was a soldier.
But getting lost in the city area...... really do show something is wrong with my sense of direction.

Thus and always, I had to ask ahead the exact location etc before I made my way to the city.
Imagine I can get lost in orchard road there...... in Singapore only...... T_T

Well, that is one of the worse side of me... maybe I should propose to SAF to learn topo-ing in city, urban areas... it will be much more helpful and useful for the soldiers.

Cheers!

I hate FEVER!~

Whenever I had a fever, I always will feel cold, perspiring cold 'sweat'... and inner body with immense heat...

Anything which I had drink, or eaten will be thrown up eventually...
feeling totally sick and weak...

This had always been the "image" of fever imprinted inside my head since young.
Thus, I really hoped I would never catch another fever ever again!

NEVER!!~~~

I mean IT!!!!
~_~

My first ambition

Well, though I'm studying in Electrical Electronic Engineering, it isn't my initial dream to become an engineer.

As far back as I can recall, my first ambition was to become a Fireman! Yes, fighting against fire, to save lives in the expense of ownself--- all I used to fantasize after watching a fire rescuing show at the age of about 7.

I changed my ambition to become a policeman instead, after hearing stories from my fifth uncle (who is still in the police force). If you ever had a chance to listen to his story, I will bet you will laugh and laugh (Mark and David know it best).

For now, I'm only planning to get my degree, then work as an engineer. Hopefully I can become a part time comic illustrator, and also a wei qi coach! And the best place is at Japan!
Wei qi had been a national game for Japan since they were the first to research into weiqi (GO in english, batuk in korean, IGO in japanese). Manga drawing has been my dream and the Japanese had so much talent in it. I'm so envious of their work and creativity!

How I wish I can have a life I love!
If only all these were to come true...
