Notice : Moving

hello all.

my blog ends here.

just as one phase of my life has passed and another awaits me.

as such, i'm closing down this blog in a week from now so please update your links or whatever.

it's moved to :

http://reflux.diaryx.com

my new email address will be listed there as well.

so make a move on now.

hello world

hello all. am back finally.

havent got much to say since it's getting busy at school. work, tutorial, assignment and projects are pouring in.

just a short note to inform all that my email address has changed.
will email you all abt it. if you dont get the email, just ask me at my old email add. i'll be using it till the end of the month before shutting down the account. yahoo gives me too much spam man. or you cld also tag/drop a comment right here if it's easier.

a whole new world

so then i have returned. from somewhere beneath where there is no internet and computers so i couldnt possibly have updated this thrashy blog haha.

anyhow it's been a great time prior to leaving sg, had loads fun with dota-ing late at night, mahjong-ing as well & of course the last dinner. thanks to everyone for a wonderful send off at the airport. and for the gifts too.

anyway, on to update you guys of how things are here.
it's been a real hassle so far, finally getting my apartment lease settled. it's $450/week for 2 bedroom apartment, and i'm gonna be sharing with a fellow sg'rean. one of my mom's frd's son. so yep, then spent loads of time n energy hunting for furniture since it's totally unfurnished. probably because the place is brand new itself. haha. spent loads at IKEA n the electrical shop getting everything and i dont even think everything is settled yet. i'm just taking a break here now at a cybercafe to check mail n all that gibberish, before i have to resume being a carpenter upstairs in my little pad.

weather here is cold and dry too, so i'm getting lots of cracked skin and catching a cold. blah.

will update more soon. take care all of you.

p/s. i miss you hella hella loads dear; u'd never believe it.

lord vader, rise.

i didn't even realise it's been close to a month since i last updated, oh well life is always busy busy busy for me haha. same old mundane life hasn't changed much, working still. only difference now is that instead of my previous weekend night shifts, i've switched to weekday morning shifts, which basically translates to normal office working hours. and i have realised that this makes the days much more productive. like i used to sleep at 4am or so, get up at 4pm to come to work, finish work then go back home, go online for a bit and read, talk on the phone and then sleep. and this went on for a couple of months, meaning i was practically devoid of any productive life for the better part of a year. which is quite a sad thing i suppose.

on the other hand, now i get up early at about 8 plus to drag my sad ass down to work, then finish at 530pm and i can still have time to walk around town, enjoy dinner and all that. it's like a revival, a reincarnation (okay maybe not so severe but yea you get the idea) of my previous lifestyle, where enjoyment, and not workaholicism was the centre of my focus.

things are getting more enjoyable as the days pass, for reasons known only to a mere few i consider dear to me. on that note, i solemnly acknowledge that i haven't really been spending time with all of you, but i'm sure you all understand, no doubt.

episode III was no disappointment, unlike george lucas' previous two attempts at a blockbuster continuation of a classic trilogy. i think it's pretty much fantastic, and it links up really well with the following parts of the trilogy ep. 4, 5, 6. unfortunately though, i think the scriptwriter should get the sack for his overdone cheesy & corny lines. and just when i thought i was an avid star wars fan, i see groups of americans walking around cineleisure in jedi robes with their hair braided up, and little kids waving red lightsaber toys about in the cinema. hahaha. i should have just worn my carpet from home then i could be chewbacca at the cinema !

my days are numbered. i've less than 2 months before i'm due to leave for sydney. bah. i dont really wish to talk about that though. most people would probably be a little more enthusiastic and excited about that than me, but then they wouldnt have the same concerns/reasons that i do for not really wanting to go just yet. if only they offered a degree in star wars knowledge or something like that. haha. Bachelor of Science Fiction (Star Wars) like BScf (SW) or something like that. i'm quite sure i would have sufficient motivation to ensure i get first class honors for that qualification. then i could just get a job at skywalker ranch or Industrial Light and Magic or some subsidiary company owned by good ol' george lucas then i can climb the corporate ladder and eventually be a sith lord/jedi master. though sith are evil by nature, i must say that sith lightning is quite a handy skill to have haha. customer at egames who refuses to pay for his computer usage shall get a nice dose of electrification to ensure prompt and accurate payment. i'm crapping but we all can dream, can't we ?

i had very nearly forgotten the whole meaning of having a life, of being able to do things like walk the streets of town, stroll into shops and browse at items you don't even wish to purchase, try out new and different food places and all. though of course in place of all these, i had the joys (and pains) of endless mahjong and dota. as such, in light that i'll be leaving after not-so-long, time shall be prioritized for those close to me, and work will soon end when i quit after 2-3 more weeks.

but for now, back to reality. i'm stuck at egames, working, for another 4 more hours. urgh.

30.4.05

peekaboo

aha. just as all you blog whores thought i was dead and good riddance, i am revived. but only because i cannot sleep so i have decided to blog some shit.

busy busy busy. work work work. again, my life revolves around work. i think i will grow up to become a workaholic in future, whereby i will have no time for nearly everything else. no time to do sports, no time for friends, maybe no time even for a wife. but hmmm maybe i would still have time for zouk on wednesday nights in tribute to the zouk-loyal friends of mine haha. but yes, you get the idea, i am a workaholic. don't blame me, it runs in the blood just like my old man.

and as a result of work, i earn a salary. a meagre one, but still better than zilch. which makes me think, money does make the world go round after all. i've seen/felt/experienced enough to be able to confidently say that it does. it isn't exactly ideal, but i guess it isnt bad either. i mean, can you imagine us having to deal with barter trade in the 21st century? "hey, entry to zouk will cost you 2 bananas and half an apple on normal days, but for tonight's event we are charging a flat rate of half a watermelon and 2 papayas" hell no i rather have crumply notes in my wallet than to have to lug a sack of bartering fruits around.

did quite a bit of shopping the last couple weeks too, and picked up some quality stuff. oh to all the fans like me out there, nautica has a storewide 30% sale at taka so drag your (& your respective gf/bf) asses there right this moment.

zouking has been good, mahjong not too bad, just sleeping hours still out of whack. damn. that's all i can think to say now at 5am in the wee morning with a dead brain.
