Starting Weekdays 9pm Channel 8!

Bao Bei Fu Nu Bing!!



Remember to watch! The first episode debuts right after Star Search 2007 tonight. Its on advert now and so far, i must say that it has been a long time i laughed and enjoyed myself watching a Chinese Drama Serial. Doesnt matter if its my dad show ornot. For the record, i didnt like some of his shows in the past =X

So ya, do yourself a favour if u missed the first episode and watch the rest. Hope the following episodes would be as entertaining as the first. Another Star Awards in the making? Hmmm we shall see...



Edit: I just saw the trailer for the next episode. It really sucks (compad to Holland V's and Tong Xing Yuan's), what a dissapointment.

The 3rd time was a charm!

Almost got my hp sim card locked today.

I was tooking a nap when my HP suddenly shut down. I dont remember it being on low batt. I tried switching it back on, and it told me to input the pin no. which i had no idea of!

I tried the first time and it say incorrect pin, 2 chances left. I ji tau panic. I tried the 2nd time with another pin, wrong! 1 chance left!! Wahlau that time i really ants on the hot pot. I changed the sim card and try on another phone to see if its the SIM pin or the phone pin. It appears to be the SIM pin. I search Singnet and search for answers, ok it says online that if my SIM card is locked, i need to get it replace. Wah troublesome la!

I changed back the SIM into my phone and gave it one final try, nothing to lose liao. Miraculously, I got it right the 3rd time! Damn happy la, the feeling better than winning 2nd @ WCG lo, seriously. Luckily got 3 chances lo, i would be toasted if i only had 2 chances.

Sometimes, all you need is that one extra chance.. =)

My contribution for the IRAS Artwork/photos competition

Can u all guess what im trying to say about taxes? Hope i win my monopoly set haha

First day of School...

...in NUS after such a long time...

felt lethargic the whole day, didnt slept well the previous night. Ate lunch at school, no appetite. Lecture was alright, wasnt myself, felt weird. Head back home and went to gym, dunno y tired still go, probably coz i had it planned long ago.

1 1/2 hour ride home was a total blank. Tired grumpy old man? Wish my mom would get better soon, my dad to take care of himself in Malaysia, my bro to endure his part time Masters degree and me to make them happy, including myself.

After National Day, school reopen...

NDP, new place, new atmosphere but old feelings. To me, it was just another NDP. Well, a few "oohs" and "aahs" during the performance but that was it. My bro fall asleep after watching it on TV after awhile.

Anyway, what excites me most is going back to school after more than half a year later. They say that school is your second home. Its a place where you learn and grow. Its going to be very different this coming semester.

A year left till i graduate, a year left in this second home of mine. What will become of me? What does the future hold? Whatever it is, i will do my best is this remaining 1 year. Treasure what you have, before it is all gone.

WCG 2007:Pics and updates!

WCG2007 National Finals has come to an end. I came in 2nd place after losing to wilson(again) in the finals. Won $400 + a Samsung E250 Handphone.

Had to go down alone today just to get the prize. Last year, the prize was given out on the same day. Actually, there were quite a number of kok ups as compared to last year. And service, management wise could be better. Didnt feel very excited this year, the spirit, enthusiasm and excitement of this franchise seems to be diminishing, and im not the only one who thinks that way, some other gamers agree too.

But overall, i think its still a well deserved trip for me. Met my sec school friend BC and me old time Soul calibur friend Rein helping out as Game Marshals there. Really been a long time i last saw them. Also got some media exposure haha, interviewed by 2 TV channels after my finals match. I tink i did quite well, in the interview la, all 1 take settle le, no NG haha! Also saw Pie, Jerline working or Samsung and Cody who is part of the organising team for WCG. So, i guess i wasnt that lonely, although it could be better XD

Anyway, good luck to all passionate gamers. I guess i might not be able to join next year le, start work? commitments?...will see how again ba =X


Here are some pics my Dad took,

I like this one, dunno why haha!

World Cyber Games 2007: Singapore National Finals

Friday 3rd Aug!
Seeded to semi finals forDOA4. Was told to report at 130pm but they called me today to tell me to report at 930am!!

930am is for my semi finals match, i asked them when the final would be. That would be at 12pm!! And if thats not enough, 6pm+ is the prize presentation ceremony. If its like last year, i would probably need to wait until 7+ 8pm to be able to collect my prize?

Omg, what am i going to do in between so much free time?!?!!?!!?

Anyway, wish me luck for tomorrow!!

落叶归根

歌曲: 落叶归根
歌手: 王力宏(Wang, Li Hong)

*舉頭望 無盡灰雲

那季節 叫做寂寞

背包 塞滿了家用

路就 這樣開始走

日不見 太陽的暖

夜不見 月光的藍

不得不 選擇 寒冷的開始

留下 只擁有 遺憾

命運 的 安排

遵守 自然 的邏輯

誰都 無法 揭謎底

喔～ 遠離家鄉 不甚唏噓 幻化成秋夜

而我卻像 落葉歸根 墜在你心間

幾分憂鬱 幾分孤單 都心甘情願

我的愛像 落葉歸根

家。。。唯獨在你身邊

*repeat

但願陪你找回

所遺失的永恆

當我開口你卻沈默

只剩一場夢

我卻像 落葉歸根 墜在你心間

幾分憂鬱 幾分孤單 都心甘情願

我的愛像 落葉歸根

家。。。唯獨在你身邊

Another 84 laps!

Thats y i havent been updating my blog coz i was doing my laps!
Actually thats just an excuse.

Anyway, i did another 84 from 6 sessions(20+10+10+20+20+4 = 84).
So thats another 4.2km, making a grand total of ....

4.2km + 4.2km= 8.4km

Well, the weather is getting rainy recently, so started going gym rather than just swim. Ran with bro too, hes going for IPPT soon. Dunno if i can still continue doing all this when sch starts....




"a month has past, hopefully the last.."

星期六的深夜

歌曲: 星期六的深夜
歌手: 王力宏(Wang, Li Hong)

星期六晚上

哪都不想去

也无法入睡

看着电视机

持续在发呆

喝了七分醉

闭上了眼睛

试着不想你

但已来不及

忘了如何让眼泪停止流下

还好没人看见（看到）

没人会说话

.

星期六深夜

我想起了你

每什么特别

只是回忆

你让我自由

我很感激

星期六深夜

永远不会有任何人能代替你

.

这就是遗憾的滋味

陪着我形影不离

明天我会面带微笑

但无法忘记你

勇气

曲名：勇气 歌手：梁静茹

终于做了这个决定

别人怎么说我不理

只要你也一样的肯定

我愿意天涯海角都随你去

我知道一切不容易

我的心一直温习说服自己

最怕你忽然说要放弃

.

爱真的需要勇气

来面对流言蜚语

只要你一个眼神肯定

我的爱就有意义

我们都需要勇气 去相信会在一起

人潮拥挤我能感觉你

放在我手心里 你的真心

.

如果我的坚强任性

会不小心伤害了你

你能不能温柔提醒

我虽然心太急

更害怕错过你

.

爱真的需要勇气

来面对流言蜚语

只要你一个眼神肯定

我的爱就有意义

我们都需要勇气

去相信会在一起

人潮拥挤我能感觉你

放在我手心里 你的真心

1 month...

It has been 1 month since i came back from HK. It felt much longer than that though. It felt like the experience in HK i had came from long ago. That is also why when friends who ask me "how is Hong Kong?" i always just give them a short reply. I didnt mean to be like that, hope u all understand the change im going through and i really appreciate about your wanting to know of my life in HK.

Ask me again after some time, i will try to relate it better this time.

Colorgenics

(Got this from JT's blog)

Try this out: Colorgenics: http://www.paulgoldin.com/colorgenics.htm

Choose coloured Cubes to see yourself. I must say surprisingly the result is really quite accurate to a certain extent. Just that i didnt really have any preference for the coloured cubes and sort of click randomly but the result was really, WOW!

At this particular time you are feeling the results of extreme stress and you are seeking a 'way out' but you are pushing too hard. Obviously you need peace, tranquillity and contentment. Your temperament is such that you are hoping, unrealistically perhaps, that your desires will shortly be fulfilled (even if at this time you are not quite sure what those true aspirations may be!).For some time now you have been feeling rather insecure. You are looking for - and needing - an environment that can offer you roots, stability and a position that will relieve you of excess tension and stress.Nothing seems to be going right for you and you are thwarted every way you turn. You are not at all happy with the situation but it would appear that there is very little that you can do about it at this time. Sit back and let the situation take its course, because at this time you feel that there is nothing you can do to change whatever needs to be changed.Whatever you strive to do, something always seems to be holding you back. There is no subterfuge in you. You are a clear thinker and all you demand from life, in a relationship, is a partner whom you can trust and with whom you can, together, develop a foundation of trust based on understanding. You are your own person and you demand freedom of thought to follow your own convictions. You have no interest in 'two-timing' and all you seek is sincerity and 'straight-dealing'.You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.

I never believed in such stuff, including horoscopes and fortune telling etc. Although the above is true to a large extent, there are untruths inside too. So i guess overall, things liddat, are really... for fun haha

converting stress to laps campaign

14+14+20+16+10(fast)+10(fast)= 84 laps

84laps x 50m = 4200m

4200m = 4.2km


That is how much i have swam since i came back to Singapore on the 9th of June.
Im having sore throat now, i guess falling sick is never gonna be the same again?

Oh well, anybody wanna join my converting stress to laps campaign?? haha!

歌曲：I Still Believe 歌手：徐若瑄

卸下美丽的外壳 透明的我们 还剩下什么

爱情就像水晶球 坚固而脆弱

一个人也许自由 两个人的感动 大过天空

喜怒哀乐共同拥有 不让你寒流

.

Baby i still believe (Baby i believe)

爱可以走过暖流 静静握住双手 一秒就够(一秒钟) 不孤单寂寞

Baby i still believe (Baby i believe)

爱要有梦才会快乐 就算未来的路(都)不同 你在我心中到永久

.

感觉很闷时候 我抱你在我胸口

当你泪流时候 我在这里不走 ohh...no

爱散发的温柔 在此刻用心感受

我想和你一起 让幸福转动

"I don't mean to tense u up, i just want a happy ending..."

Bro is back from England..

Just came back from Terminal 2, he touched down @ 725am, came out at 8+am. It has been around 10 days when he was in UK for his work. Picked up Wanjin, his gf + fiance before heading to the airport.

It was so sweet of her to surprise my bro with "Settler's of Catan", a board game my bro has been talking about getting. I was actually waiting for him to come back to see if he wants to buy it at settler's coz it might be cheaper there. Well, Wanjin got it already so its all good.

Reached the airport and waited for my bro. She was waiting eagerly also, and also to surprise him with the board game. Finally my bro came out and was happy to see that Wanjin took Leave just to fetch him. The news of the car bombs in UK also did made us worry more. More so when my bro was just outside the "tiger tiger" pub where the bomb was discovered a few hours later after my bro left. Luckily my brother was fine and had some good experience overseas.

We went for breakfast at Breeks, my mom said that her fren said the breakfast was good. Apparently the service wasn't we waited for 30+mins for out food to be served. There were 2 guys who came after us who got their food and finish theirs before ours was here. When it was served, an apple salad that was supposed to be served wasnt. The waitress went in and check and told us they ran out of apples.

We were not pleased, it was supposed to be a happy occasion. So my mom sort of hinted at a discount. The waitress went to ask her manager and came back to said that we will have a discount. Soon after, someone(probably the manager) came out with 4 very small bowls of baked beans and 4 small bowls of apple salad. The baked beans is part of the set while the apple salad i believe was complimentary but the manager did not explain anything about it. So probaby they had apple trees in the kitchen which were just nice, riped for picking?

When we paid the bill, we were given a 10% discount. I think it can be better the way they handle it, but i wasnt too bothered about it also. Probably i was tired or bothered by other things...

Anyway, the both of them looked so happy together. I feel happy for them that their relationship can last for this long and still remain strong. I wish them happiness and prosperity, for all eternity.

WCG DOA Competition @ Shine Festival

Went to the competition on this hot Saturday morning @ Youth Park Opposite Cinieleisure. Theres alot of activities going on down there, u guys can check it out tomorrow if u all have nothing to do haha. Was quite confident considering Wilson couldn't join the tournment. Played a total of just 4 rounds, many ppl who sign up for the compy didnt turn up(-_-) and got 1st! $200 + Seeded to WCG National Finals. Big THANK YOU to everyone who wished me good luck!

Due to the lower attendance of participants i had 3 hours in between to wait for my Final Round. Met my parents in Takashimaya. They were buying bed sheets for the family. So i made my own way to Centerpoints to Redeem a Body Scrub from Biotherm for my good fren ;) and den head back to Takashimaya to help them carry the heavy merchandises all the way to paragon where the car is. All the while it was damn hot and humid, sweat alot argh!

Oh, saw Peiling at Paragon's Breadtalk, i think Jerline was there also. It was funny coz last year when i joined WCG @ suntec, i saw them both working as Samsung girls there. This time when i joined another compy, saw them again but now as breadtalk girls? haha

Anyway, its 30th June today, Tomorrow is 1st July. In the past, i had always look forward to the first day of the month. But tomorrow i guess, would have a different kind of looking forward to, it might probably be the last. But it is all for a good reason. Life will go on.

Although the incident of Superband Star Ishi ending his own life is a very sad story, it is somehow selfish. I might not share the exact same emotional roller coaster as him, but i can never imagine doing that to myself and hurt others who love me. Hope he R.I.P, he will always be loved.

Wow, it seems that the content of this post is so random la... no focus at all. Well, they are what i am thinking right now so until next time, iamjustjc....another random one!

一了百了

Never thought this song,one of my favourite songs, could mean something to me..

歌曲: 一了百了
歌手: 信乐团(Shin)

一辈子两个人在一起
你说要加个或许
不是你不喜欢甜言和蜜语
只是你比较实际
两个人一辈子不分离
你问我好在哪里
不是你不期待永恒的恋曲
你说最美的爱情叫做回应
为何连分手都不跟我争吵
撂下一句话就想逃跑
让我爱难平恨难消情难灭梦难了心难过
你却放手一了百了
离开我你说是为了我好
可知道这句话伤人不少
就算忘不了没有大不了
反正一切都不再重要
我的心既然你全都不了
何必再继续让彼此困扰
斩断纠缠的爱
从今就一了百了

I got the Job! Gonna be a Freelance designer!

Yes, that is the good news. But the bad news is, the pay is really low!

I need to come up with 15-20 designs in a month. I will be paid mmm, lets keep the figure a little secretive but its less than $500, which makes each design to about $20/piece.

Well, although the pay is really low, i guess the advantages outweighs it for the moment. I get to work at home, when i like and how i like as long as i produce 15-20 pieces within one month. Best of it is that the company allow the designers to "initial" their designs as some sort of free publicity and exposure of their designs. I think that is really a sweet deal even though the money is low, furthermore this is my very first time trying out this job.

They are looking for designs in vector form(shapes) and also car designs for their skins. So now i have to play alot with shapes shapes and more shapes. I would probably start work in July since its only 5 more days till den and right now, mm still abit of adjusting and i have some designs that i have postponed for quite some time not done yet.

I guess overall, this job is going to be good. It can never come at a better time, i guess i really need to keep myself occupied to prevent me from thinking too much unnecessarily. Thanks to JBVD again for the lobang, told you i wont xia suay u one haha

missing hk?

i "think" i do. i mean i definitely do, but the feeling could be stronger...undergoing some adjustments(MAJOR) recently. Hope u guys understand. Fortunately we have Justin! He made a video of our 5 months stay in HK!





As for the designs, the boss said he cant open the .EPS files, so going over to his office on mon morning with my laptop. Hmmm, hope its not a wasted trip..wish me luck!
