i live in singapura

watch this clip as Hossan Leong sings about living in Singapore. rather well written song! so funny! heh...

i always thought that the TalkingCock.com events are imaginery one leh... i didn't know that they actually exist! i really wanna go for their events next time!! i want to talk cock!!

random ramblings...

@#$%&*....i misplaced my wallet, Again!! totally no recollection of where i could have left it. did i leave it on the 7-11 counter? the bench at pan pac? backseat of the cab?... i don't know lah! argh... i is so suay...all my credit cards, atm cards, ez link card, cash card, driver's license, my beloved tp alumni card...are gone! sad, very sad :(

according to the chinese horoscope thingy, people who are born in the year of the dog (ie: me) have got 破财运 this year. i wonder if i should reconsider my decision to go genting casinos with Melvin and company next weekend. sigh... don't wish to 破 more 财 leh!

anyways i jio jio-ed my TP lecturers to go Bangkok and they said ok! but...after some planning, it seems like it's not going to happen afterall? cos they are very ma fan people...children having exams lah... want to use kris flyer points to convert flight lah....ma fan ma fan lah. aunties are like that i guess?... haha

i am so screwed, so many assignments to hand in when school re-opens next week and i have not accomplished anything! i am officially sick of being a student already...i need to graduate... Fast!

life and death situation

...so, on thursday night, there were a couple of policemen hanging around my house when i came home. i thought someone had just broken into our flat! after talking to them, i found out that my neighbour had died in his house. the ah pek who died was really old, i guess he's about 90?

shortly after, i saw the casket people arrive to set up the tentage for the wake...hey but wait, why are there 2 different casket companies?....... another old folk from the next block had passed away that same night...

friday afternoon...i received an sms from WY, she said her dad passed away peacefully at home in the afternoon. can there be any more sad news? (noticed i said sad and not bad... because i really think, to live a life that long and can pass away peacefully, really not a bad deal...i've seen people who struggled and died really painfully...now that's really bad)

yes! cos on friday evening, another sms came to me, this time from V. she told me that her mum had just passed away in the hospital.

this year's mooncake festival is not going to be very meaningful for some people :(

ok sad moments aside, i just received an sms, this time good news. CF's water bag broke this morning! she is in the process of delivering her baby boy while i'm here at this blog!! woo hoo!

finally some good news :)

i love skippy!

why the hell am i still online at this hour? it's 419 am for godsake!!
and i am supposed to wake up and go to school for my tutorials in like 4 hours time?!

1. Tang Poetry Class: i attend i also don't understand.
2. Retail Management Class: i no need to attend i also can understand.

yay! i am so going to skip school today!

so wat u wan?

i realised something...
Singaporeans do not know what they want, but they know what they do not want.

let me give you a simple example:

me: eh eat wat?
friend: dunno leh...sian
me: fried rice wan?
friend: fried rice i doe wan...
me: bak chor mee leh?
friend: doe wan lah... yesterday eat liao
me: eat Mac?
friend: doe wan... don't feel like burgers
me: wah lau eh then wat u wan?
friend: dunno lah!...sian!

...does it ring a bell? many times when people ask you what do you want, instead of answering to the question, you start telling the person the things that you do not want. when asked again, what is it that you want exactly? you cannot produce an answer. hmm... (oh and another common thing that i just realised... we are sian most of the times. ok, but that's beside the point.)

relating this back to my career woes... i doe wan to be...

an insurance agent
a salesman/girl, whatever
a civil servant
an admin person

but what do i want to be??.......dunno lah! sian!

recruitment talks

geez, i realised i've signed up for like 9 recruitment talks! (and counting) like a bit kiasu right? not sure if i'll turn up for all of them though...most of these talks are by the investment banks. which honestly, i do not see myself having a career there. not like i can count very well right?... although i definitely wouldn't mind the kind of $$ that they are willing to pay...*bl!nk bl!nk*

by May, i would have finished my exams and getting ready to get a 'real' job.. to start embarking on my career building process. my friends have been telling me that i'm worrying too soon, 2006 has not even ended yet! but i am so caught in the same situation 4 years ago when i was a poly fresh grad; i really have no idea what kind of jobs i want!!

it took me 4 years, and it's not figured out yet. what makes you think that i would have things figured in 8 months time??...sigh.

i am so sick

this is a post about how i am so sick.

during my last medical checkup the doctor told me that i should wake up slowly, and sit at the side of the bed for at least one minute before standing up to avoid a sudden flux of blood to the brain.

but i think i got out of bed too quickly again on sunday afternoon, that i got so dizzy and fell on the floor! gave me a shock and it took me a moment to recover from it. then guess what, the moment i stood up from the fall, i started to puke. it was some yellowish juices that came out...now i'm starting to worry.

then the puking didn't stop, for the last few days!!! :( finally went to the doctor's at night, and realised that i was running a temperature - 38.0deg. doc said i had gastric flu. wah lau i also know, puke + diarrhea...confirm food poisoning. but what did i eat?! sigh....

so for the rest of sunday and the entire monday, i was in bed. i think i slept for more than 30 hours in a stretch. the more i slept the worse i felt. i need alot of focus to write this blog, and i'm not even writing coherently...

ok, not writing anymore, i think i need to puke again. i am so so sick. the only good thing that is coming out of this illness - i lost 1.6kg and counting...

myth vs. truth

contrary to popular belief...i did not get my nickname "Champion Chen" from TKD!

i was playing badminton with my mates and...

me: come let's start!
friend: we play challenge one ok?!
friend: i sure win you one. :P
me: pui! you mean i sure win you right?!
friend: nahbeh if i lose i call you champion chen!
me: call me champion chen!!!

yup, and that's how i got my nick. :)
