Happy Birthday!

It was a whack last night at Central. 15 jugs of beer plus a sinful chocolate cake that gave me a sore throat today.

But still I want to thank you brothers and mates, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YESTERDAY!

It was so sweet of Jeff and Jo to buy me a customised cake. And mind you, my "twin" sitting on the cake did not come with the cake. Kudos to Jeff for making that special and extra effort to buy that from Bugis. :D

I had the hell of my life yesterday and I really, really appreciate the efforts of all who came down for my mini-gathering.

Toopid Sengkang neighbour cannot come down. BOO!

Okay I confess that I puked once last night. It was bad but again, it was my celebration wasn't it? And I thoroughly enjoyed myself last night.

Special thanks to Jeff and Jo for the cake, to Gregory Ho KK for coming down after his draining dragonboat training, to Eric who rushed down from NDP Preview, Jim and Steve for the financial subsidy *grins*, and to all of you who made it happening last night. And not forggeting Xiao Pang for offering the sofa seats to us.

Thank you. I love you guys.

Good afternoon people!


Me. Reddy Froggy.


Ain't this cake sooooooooooooooooo sweet? :D Thanks Jeff and Ting!


Meet my twin, Frogster Lim.


Froggy!


Chi Lam's brother; meet Stiff. I mean, Steve.


YEA! Brothers forever~


AC us at work again.


Hei-pee Bird day!

Joke of The Day, & Read Between The Lines.

A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie!

The genie said, "OK. You released me from the lamp, blah, blah blah. This is the fourth time this month and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes. So you can forget about getting three wishes. You only get one wish.

The man sat down on the beach and thought about it for awhile. Then he said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii; but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so that I can drive over there to visit?"

The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible! Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete... how much steel...! No. Think of another wish."

The man tried to think of another wish. Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced several times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So I wish that I could understand women... know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment...know why they're crying...know what they really want when they say, 'Nothing'...know how to make them truly happy...."

The genie said, "You want that bridge two lanes or four?"

Sick

I just feel so ill AND sick now. I dont know why I fell sick so suddenly but when things can happen, they will right?

Please read between the lines and understand the meaning of "sick".

It is irritating to be ill (read: off-form for beer consumption) when the occasion calls for it tomorrow.

It is irritating to be ill over NO reason. Okay I am lamenting.

Seriously, I don't know what I should blog about nowadays. I used to like citing quotations to motivate and inspire others. USED TO lah ah.

Somehow nowadays, I feel that those were redundant.

I was once a fan of motivational and inspirational quotes. However, the reality of life makes me think that most quotes are just bs. Full of loopholes and questions and uncertainty. Yes I don't disagree that they do make sense, but one must be practical also. As optimistic as one can be, life is never as simple as we have always thought it to be, like what they say in the ever-repeated quotations.

NO.

Period.

I hope it will be a happy 23 soon thereafter.

Good night people.

Hmm.

Things seem as normal as they could be. Calm. Noiseless. Unemotional.

They are just masks.

After all, beer brings out the truth in me.

I always thought things were easy; if I could do it the first time round, the second time will definitely be easier. Sadly, I subcribe to Murphy's Law.

What can happen, will happen.

It really happened.

Hope can be dreadful sometimes. It brings out the worst in people.


“May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.”

Good night people.

Freshmen Orientation Camp 2006

My bunch of people is a cool lot. And I love them all because they rock!

It is sensationally satisfying to see them working together so closely and cooperatively despite the fact that they knew each other for less than 48 hours.

And I am impressed with them. Seriously and thoroughly impressed with them. It is a whack this time round. As a matter of fact, I wish the camp would not end in just three days. Being with these people makes me forget about sleep and tiredness. They are the ones who have pushed me way beyond my threshold of tiredness.

And I thank you people, not only for the lifetime experience that I had in the past three days. But also, thanks for occupying my mind with you people. Really. You guys have given me comfort and joy these few days, bringing my mind away from the mundanity of human life. (",)

A lot of things had happened these few days. Work and all. I appear happy in front of the group but thoughts have been running through my mind. I have, once again, seen the distastefully-coloured lives of people around me.

Congratulations to the OPMC 2006! The freshmen are happy, and everyone is proud of you for the job well-done.

Good afternoon people.

李圣杰 - 你们要快乐

你哭着拿下银手链还我的时候
最近你躲我有了理由
别说我的爱让你惭愧不配拥有
珍惜不就是温柔

当你说, 抱歉爱上了你的好朋友
原来心酸比心痛难受
茫然的走到了门口
倔强还是念旧
我听见我回头说

你们要快乐, 要天长地久
你们没有错, 爱是自由
走出这扇门后至少我还有辽阔
你们要快乐, 要紧紧牵手
你们不幸福, 我会难过
成全最爱的人不是为了看着她寂寞

过去曾让你笑得很甜
不代表有权利要你纠结
虽然遗憾爱情也有它的季节
风不能吹就作最潇洒的落叶

Life.

Shouldn't life be as simple as it can get? Why does it seem all so complicated to me?

I am really sick of mind games. Sick of hope and faith. And most of all, love.

Love is the greatest of them all. But time plays a big factor as well.

I am sick of myself harbouring hope. Having hope is as good as investing large amounts of money in shares. More often than not, you lose money.

I've invested enough, and maybe I should back out of this game. Enough is enough.

I am a sick person who hates competition, and have no faith and confidence in himself. Get away from me.

And the saying is as good as it can get," Women are from Venus, men are from Mars."

Man, I cannot imagine these words coming out from me.

Good night people.

"Bored" Game

It is interesting how people can develop life situations into a board game.

Maybe I can just say, this is utter rubbish.

And if the things in there are ENTIRELY true, I think I really have to change my mindset towards things.

Life cannot be likened to a simple board game.

Bored.

It has been a boriong day today. Beer was my only good company.

And drinking makes me want to sing.

Things didn't turn out the way I wanted it to but I guess it doesn't really matter. Everyone is selfish.

I just wish for a night when I will get tired by 11 and sleep straightaway. Without alcohol and all.

Emotions do stir once in a while, with the help of Mr Tiger.

Good night people.

Truth.

What makes one wanting to hide the truth when somehow, the fact is already quite evident.

I really hate play mind games, and put people to the test. Sometimes, and most of the times, they fail my test. And that failure is pain to me.

Humans are born with this basic instinct; survival of the fittest.

This is the instinct that damages simple love lives all over this spinning globe.

Humans are complex and none of us can deny this fact. As much as we derive joy from emotions and thrills arising from this complexity, we bump with depressing and melancholic thoughts every now and then.

And these culminate into what we call, a lifetime.

Good night people.

This Is Bad. Real Bad.

I just found out something which is really terrible.

Call that speculations. But guys have their own "sixth sense" as well.

Darn, I should have seen it coming.

This cannot be any "true-er".

"Any comforting guy being too caring towards a girl going downhill should be seen as one with a hidden agenda."

No offence, just personal opinions.

Good night people.

Enjoy!

The following is supposedly an actual question given on a university chemistry exam. The answer by one student was so profound that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state: that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1.If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2.If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct ... leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"!!!

Short Night.

It has been a short night with my primary school mates at New Asia Bar. Crowded and totally packed with SPGs and Caucasians. The music was no good but I must admit, there are eye candies all around.

Boring place as it seems, we went down to Indo Chine and had two bottles of ice wine. Doesn't taste as sweet as I thought it would be.

Somehow, I think my determination has softened (read: softhearted me).

And I wonder why I am so ever - forgiving at my own expense.

Erm, it's going to be a long day tomorrow.

Good night people.

Friday, July 14, 2006

Lol.

It had been a "hearty" chat just now.

And great, I'm still feeling as fine as a strand of hair.

Ha, ha, ha. Laugh people.

I guess I shall leave this post as it is.

Good night people.

Thursday, July 13, 2006

Yes.

Let memories remain the way they are.

Time waits for no one. How true.

Remorse and guilt never get erased by time. I left things the way they should.

Without remorse, guilt and paradoxically, without hope and memories.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

Well, it ended.

Probably a new one just started.

Good night people.

Tuesday, July 11, 2006

Hmm?

Hmm, I am feeling down again. I don't know what exactly I am down about but yes, I just feel this way.

Perhaps some chats just now but I seriously don't think that was the case.

Jimmy, thanks for the company just now. I really appreciate those 10 bottles of beer and 6 hours long of chatting between you and me, and your time of course. All the best for your trip later and bon voyage.

I almost lost my stylus the second time round in the cab. And the driver didn't stop the meter when I was looking for it when the cab stopped at my void deck.

Bitch.

I have many things to say but again, I choose to withhold. Talk is cheap anyway.

Got to settle some seminar work later. Not that I loathe it but somehow, I guess I'm just so unprepared for it.

I need someone to engage me more in my thoughts. Someone provocative enough to make me see life in another light.

My life seems so monotonous.

Hmm, when it comes to affairs of the heart ( read: crush), it's better to keep things that way. I mean, my way. (",)

Don't think too far off, she's over and done with in my life.

I think it is always good to be obsessed with something good (though futile as it seems to be for now) than to be obsessed with something sad.

Agree?

Good night people.

Monday, July 10, 2006

I Knew It.

I knew Italy will go through. (",)

Sorry to someone, whom I had almost "caused" a mishap just now. Thank God you're fine. At least for now.

Either I am unlucky to you, or vice versa. Or as you've said, like "Just My Luck." WE ARE BOTH JINXES.

生辰八字相冲. LOL.

The weather is still as cool, but I cannot sleep.

Not enough beer lah.

I can't wait for Wednesday. I want to rent a car. =)

Good morning Singapore.

Sunday, July 09, 2006

Rainy days are always, undeniably, opportunities for blogging.

Waking up on a rainy day makes me feel so lazy and perhaps, emo?

HOW TO GO TO CHURCH LIKE THAT?!

The world cup is coming to an end tonight, thus ending the late nights of watching 22 men chasing after the ball on green.

I'm glad the cup is going to end well, like how it started out. My life changed drastically over this period also. Abrupt, positive changes. On a lighter note, school life is going to be busy with 7 modules coupled with club work.

我要中马票!

I feel so broke. Sigh-est.

没有买怎么中?

Hell yes, I can't wait for school to start.

Friday, July 07, 2006

Life is just becoming to get better. Getting as good as it can get.

Going out with my primary school friends tomorrow makes me reminisce about my primary school days, tying in the fact that the education landscape is changing drastically in this era of technology.

Nowadays, the kids are prodigies if they are back in my time.

I feel the pity for them because somehow, I felt that they are deprived of the kind of childhood people of my time used to live through.

We played with skipping ropes, hopskotch and five stones. Today, they play with MapleStory, Gunbound and the what-nots.

What has technology brought us?

Nonetheless, welcome to Singapore.

My self-confidence is slowly building up, thanks to my supportive friends. I take this chance to thank you people.

I've seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and this time it ain't the train. But the funny thing is, I still cannot settle down to do the things that my responsibilities call for. Forgive me if the relevant people see this but I am really trying hard. So give me the time to get myself up on my feet properly.

I want to talk about the darn yellow box issue in Singapore eateries. It is funny and I guess many people share the same sentiment. What good is the demarcated area when the smoke can just get blown by the fans and all to other parts? Okay I have more things to say but I guess it would be prim and proper for me to keep them to myself because after all, I am a civil servant.

Oh well.

The best thing that happened these few days is knowing more people. They really brighten up my life. :)

I should be sleeping now. It's a looooooooooooong day tomorrow.

Imagine waking up at 5.45am. Especially for someone who sleeps at 6am. This time, I shall not be late. Not nice to someone I just knew waiting. But darn, it's a whack to find a khaki living so darn near me.

Good night people.

Here I am again, blogging.

Not avoiding someone is not an issue if there are no feelings left. Tell me about it when it is the other way round. Call me a coward, but I am only as such when I succumb to love. You don't know how depressing it is to meet someone you loved right after a breakup, especially if you are not the one who initiated it.

Talk about good things. You know what you had done to my emotional being. Good things did exist but again? Yur attitude towards me just kill it all off.

I'm pretty sure it just ended with a SMS. If I didn't suggest a meet-up, would you initiate one? If we already broke off and you wanted to meet up, it would be depressing for me. This is a no - brainer. If it was the end of the cool - off and you wanted a meet - up, at least I know you are being fair to me and the relationship by ending it in a prim and proper and decent manner.

You don't need a guy to tame you. Only you can tame yourself because we live for ourselves in this lifetime.

In a way, yes I am talking bad about you. But I gave the warning not to read if anyone thinks that he/she will get offended. Petty? Who is the one who gets irritated at the slightest things I did nowadays?

But one fact remains.

You gave an empty promise to commit.

Okay, this is going to be a darn ugly, filthy and crude post about my emotions. If you think you are going to get offended, I suggest you close this window right now.

You've hurt a guy or two badly before once, but you got to hurt me more than twice.

As much as my conscious mind is actively thinking about other things, my sub-conscious mind dreams as I fall into slumber. A lot of angry and disappointing thoughts are going through my mind now, but I've learnt to control them.

It doesn't matter how you feel towards this relationship, but I knew how much this 3-4 years of "love" meant to you when you ended it with just a pathetic SMS. That doesn't really matter because although you might be busy or what, I don't think such emotional output for 3-4 years from both parties should just end like that. Now I know how much it once mattered to you. Perhaps, this past relationship doesn't really matter to you. Tiredness is not a reason good enough. Not even a phone call to end it all. We are still young, and one day you will understand how I felt that day.

I don't have to express how disappointed I am in you, you should have felt it because my heart is totally gone from this past relationship. I remembered how hard you had pushed me to get my driving licence, and I remembered a lot of other things which I had accomplished because of your motivation.

Now I really question myself; how come you can change so fast after those encouraging words. It is a question that will disappear from the back of my mind tonight forever.

I may be wrong in some ways or another, but the same goes to you. I gave in and gave you the benefit of thinking through it, although I see no hope already. I did all I could.

But after all the explanations you had given me, all I can gather is that you are still not ready. Same old thing I am going to say; why tell me you are ready last year when you are not? You know, you should had told me when you realised that you couldn't let go of me because it was habitual, instead of holding on to it for so long although you know chances of salvaging it is pretty near to zero. You shouldn't even try to recollect the feelings anymore because you know that ultimately, you are not ready and you still want to play.

You don't have to ask yourself whether you had made the right choice to the outcome of this past relationship. All I know is that you should feel relieved that you had just saved a guy from your hands. So what if I am the right one to you? I don't think you are treating me as one from the kind of attitude you had towards me. I don't have to tell you but you yourself knew I was suffering, and you were treating me unfairly.

Maybe you should question yourself to see what you want in this life of yours, and learn to talk to people who are older than you. Perhaps they will shed some light to you.

May I suggest that you don't hurt any other guys until you are ready to settle down. Don't go into a relationship because you think the guy is the right one for you. Instead, think, whether you are ready to settle down with the guy.

Sometimes, I just felt so sorry for myself for asking you out in Feb 2002. But again, thanks to you because you had just made me see another side of how the society changes people. Life is always full of surprises, be it good or bad; like it or not they just come.

More thoughts coming after more nights of unintentional drinking.

如果你还爱我

我带着一颗疲惫的心走了
我知道自己在你心里已不重要
虽然我们曾经相聚过, 也许对于你来说
已经没有什么值得回忆

我带着一颗沉重的心走了
我知道自己没有勇气道别离
虽然我们曾经拥有过, 但是对于你来说
已经没有什么值得回忆

难道早已注定, 不能真正拥有你
当我真心付出一切, 只为了承受孤单和寂寞
我知道你不敢对我表白, 是不要看到我的伤怀
虽然你没有说要离开我, 我已经感到你不在属于我

如果你还爱我, 你不会对我如此的冷漠
又怎会让我在漫漫长夜独自徘徊
如果你还爱我, 你不会对我如此的冷漠
我只能含着眼泪默默的离开
