i have a problem, a serious one.
you see.. i tossed and turned in bed the other day and had a hard time trying to fall asleep. there's this strange feeling, difficult to describe...
i later realised...it was actually the excitement of going to office the next day that was preventing me from entering my dreamland. recently i felt this irrepressible urge to be productive; to churn out endless excel spreadsheets, to type vigorously on my computer keyboard and not to mention the worst...- i actually enjoy doing it!
now, this is no laughing matter as something must be very seriously wrong with me.
i mean...how can i be looking forward to doing Work?! i am absolutely shameless for allowing myself become a hardworking and useful person! this cannot happen! because it is against my motto in life;- to be an ultimate slacker.
i must put a stop to it and it must be fast. help!

Champion Chen vs. Loser Lam
went back to TP again to train with Elam this evening...it was Great. trained TKD from 7 to 830pm. quite happy with my form tonight but still not good enough to win at the Nationals with a bang. gotta condition myself for the competition, cos not only i want to win, i want to win it with style. :P
right after TKD we went to jog round the track, the weather was cool and we took our time. usually after the jog we will play a game of badminton. we were lucky tonight as there was an unoccupied court with proper nets...so we decided to have a showdown!!
the result was so predictable lor...cos no one can beat Champion Chen!! hahahaha! the score was 21-18, quite near lah...but he wouldn't have a chance to come that close if not for the fact that i damn shag liao...
therefore he has to call me Champion Chen for one year and i also thought up a new cool name for him tonight...
edwin lam is now known as LOSER LAM!!! hahaha!

lost in transit
man, i am seriously overwhelemed by the facilities we have in our airport! and i regret not checking in early each time i travel to make full use of their services lor!! i mean, although we have one of the cheapest airport tax in the world but still must justify our money spent right?! heh...
it is the third week of my attachment at the airport. i spend most of my time in the transit area and it is no surprise why. there are a few tv lounges with sports, international news, channel 8 and channel U to watch...a movie lounge that plays Star Movies, internet kiosks with high speed broadband where i can download youtube videos online in a swoosh, a cosy sleeping lounge where i can have my afternoon nap, but must use jacket to cover my face in case kena spotted sia...
me and my work partner, also a fellow intern from NTU have been scooting around the transit area and discovering new things each day. just the other day i was having an ultimate x-box boxing game showdown with the TP interns which, of course i won...no one can beat Champion Chen. hahaha!
there's this OSIM sponsored foot massage area somewhere that the other NTU interns like to go, but i will never stick my feet into that thing lor, cos dunno how many thousand people use before liao...damn er xing. anyways, i heard that there is an american pool table somewhere, i guess i'll hunt that down tomorrow and convince the TP interns to play with me. hahaha!

s l a c k.....
started my internship yesterday and was introduced to my supervisor; a nice person, easy going, but always busy. she gave me and my partner 2 weeks to work on a project, which, could be done in 2 days?
the department was obviously over-staffed with interns. there are 8 TP and 3 NTU interns there. so what's everyone doing?...nothing...much. but the perm staff there seems to be quite busy leh...dunno why they never delegate the "sai gang" to us.
my supervisor told us..."have you had your breakfast? if not, then go and eat lah...after that go walk around, come back after lunch..." wah lau...this kind of sup where to find?! damn nice lah!...and one look i know she was from poly..which made me like her even more, cos poly students rocks!!
anyways my partner and i, being very obedient subordinates, carried out her orders dilligently. we walked and walked, eat and eat...we ate at jollibeans, canteen, polar cafe, changi kopitiam, burger king, crystal jade...all in one day!
somehow i find my job scope in line with my life motto of being an ultimate slacker. i'm so lucky to have found a job that i like.

WP = Wahh...Power!
just came back from the worker's party rally. seeing is indeed believing...the crowd was enormous. the field was in a terrible state due to the rain earlier. many people came after work, in their leather shoes and high heels, but the muddy field did not deter them from getting a closer look at the candidates.
i totally agree on the issues raised by WP on the conflict of interests between government and labour unions and to request for more independence and accountability. i think this is very important, especially when the agency theories and ethics that i've studied for the Accounting II exam was still fresh in my mind! hahaha!
labour unions (ie NTUC union) also PAP controlled...since when you see those stupid labour union leaders speak up for the workers one?? all they do is to help govt persuade workers to accept lower wage, CPF cuts and retrenchment. fuck u understand!
a spot-on quote from Low Thia Kiang about progress package: "the PAP is giving you a drumstick now, but later they will take back one whole chicken."
PAP's triple R manifesto: Renew, Revitalise and Refresh.
i think WP can also have a triple R manifesto:
Remind the ministers of their unfulfilled promises
Release the people of their pains
Reinstate a govt that works for the people and not the $$
doramon: thanks for your contribution, but the fact that you've put on weight still remains ok. :P

mediacock news sucks
Worker's Party Rally Crowd
this is what you will not see on the state-controlled mass media. everytime you see the reports on the news, the cameramen will use a narrow angle and never a wide angle to fully portray the actual massive crowd who goes for the opposition rallies. conversely, they will use telephoto lens to shoot the PAP rally crowd, taking pictures through a telephoto lens is like using a telescope or binoculars - it makes everything look larger.
PAP Rally Crowd
HAHA look at this, pathetic! and if you noticed, they got more lights lor...damn kiasu can. They talk so much, also talk about the same old things. anyway if anyone wants to listen to their gospel, can just switch on mediacock news, they got more than enough coverage already!
i think he can go home hug his pillow and cry for daddy's help...
sylvia lim is TP's law lecturer. lau chio. she power, making bold statements in this year's elections. unlike the usual kia-si public servants on PAP's payroll.
