YES! I've finally got my enlistment date!
I'm requiretd to be at Tekong on 7 October 2005 at 9:45am. School 2.
I better start pumping irons now.

Well, couldn't blog as often as I hope I could last week. I was transfered to the 6th floor to manage the Central Inventory owing to the employment turnover they experienced there. Many advised my to ask for a pay rise, I would too, but I wasn't stationed there long enough to be entitled to even try my luck to ask my agent for a pay rise.

This week, I'm working downstairs, back at the Care Centre. So life and time will pass slower than the period I experienced upstairs. Man! The time upstairs sure do pass like a breeze with all the deliveries and management processes done. I was getting the hang of it just when I'm needed downstairs. Lol. But it doesn't matter la, when you work, there's 2 things which are always right when you are new. 1) Your Boss, 2) Your Customers.

Anyway, this morning I served a customer for about 90 minutes. Boy was that long. Although I can sense the air of impatience among my colleague, I told myself, the customer is always right, and we needa fulfil our duty to provide the adequate after-service solutions to our customer. We just need to think of the bigger picture.

This reminds me of an article critizing, or rather, commenting on the customer service which Singaporeans render to the customers in recent years. Based from my memory, Singapore WAS ranked either 6th or 8th, but has fallen short of our standard in recent times, which understandably brings us down to 20+ position. That's a huge fall if you ask me.

Sometimes I do wonder why our customer service isn't up to standard. Actually, I do believe that the service rendered to customers for those high-end products/services will surely no doubt be good. And when I say high-end in this context, I meant products/services which cost a bomb. This is often because of the fact that the company knows that the customer are paying a bomb for it, thus deservingly they should receive good treatment.

Not that I'm saying customers should spend a bomb just to receive good service. I feel that customer service assistants are often people who are working on a temporary basis or even part-timers. This results in hourly pay rates, little or no benefits from the employing company, few trainings/courses that are comprehensive enough. As we know, money and mental state of the employee should be satisfying in order to perform well. Maybe if customer service assistants were given a permenant job, would they only feel the need to provide better service to customers for it's their profession to do so.

I read from the papers about including variable bonuses for employees in an attempt to improve service. And I thought only sales jobs has got variable bonus. Haha. But well, it's a good idea, just need to set the policies right.

So near and yet so faaaaarrr

Sometimes things actually appear to be so near within ur grasp, but somehow, you mistimed everything, made the wrong moves (yeah, everyone makes a wrong move at least once again), and even got on the wrong side of luck (Someone get me a Felix Felicis!)

Ever looked back at times and question yourself over some moves you made? Life is simply not like a game of chess on the computer. You cant 'ctrl' + 'z' after moving the wrong piece!

Anyway, everyone deserves and chance, and when you have that chance, either you grabbed it with both hands or loss it both hands behind your back. The problem is sometimes we do not see the chance in front of us. Often it takes other party to inform us about the opportunity(ies). But who or how can we be blamed?

So my advise to all readers out there is, whenever you have the chance to do something, be it something which is outside your comfort zone, just do it! Things only happen once! If you were like to given umpteen chances and yet failed to convert it, look back and reflect.

Okay, enough of boring chance preaching! Let's get a little humour out of my post today.

A few days ago, I was having an interesting conversation with my sister about those outdoor insurance agents. Those whom are always hanging around shopping malls and asking you questions like, do you save?

Well, it happened to my sister and her friend when they were both shopping on a saturday.

Sister's friend was hungry.
Insurance agent approached them.

Agent: Hi, can I have a short moment of your time to do a short survey?
Friend: Eh, No! Hungry, gotta eat fast!
Agent: Oh, it's alright it's just a very short time, said the agent persistently.
Friend: Okay. -__-
Agent: Do you save?
Friend: Yup!
Agent: Where do you save? (Normally this will lead to them educating you on the various saving plans they have to offer you)
Friend: I puy my money underneath my bed. -___-||
Agent: *STUNNED* 0.o

What happened to me??!

2005-07-26T18:06:00.000+08:00

Gastric? Air? Food poisoning? Appendix?!

Like every other Fridays, after work is my driving lesson.
For that 3rd day in a row, I ate the Mee Rebus at BBDC.
Anyway, when I reached home, I felt a sudden pain on my stomach area.
I bet everyone experiencing that will think exactly what I thought, that the pain will eventually be ok. Who was to know, I vomitted quite a few times and the pain intensified.

Mum and Dad had to send me to a 24 Hours clinic at Clementi for checkup. The lady at the counter seems to be working rather slower than I had expected. People are in pain and agony, shouldn't she be working with more pace and of course accuracy?

Anyhow, I met the doctor, he suspected that it may be appendix, while Dad believes it's just plain old gastric. So the doctor wrote me a letter of reference to the A&E department should I experience a dominant pain on the righter side of my stomach.

After the consultation, we went out to wait for my medicine. God was she slow! While Mum and Dad were watching the old and ancient chinese show on television, I was suffering from the pain which made me soft like jelly pudding. In my mind, I was thinking given that lady's efficiency, patients would have die on the seat while waiting for her.

When I got home, I immediately consumed my medicine and rest as much as I could because the next day I got to attend my dear's mini birthday celebration at Chinablack.

Woke up at 8am on Saturday, and there comes diarhorrea marathon! Visited the toilet 4 times in an hour. Then lunch came in a form of a cute girl holding 2 containers with porridge and a you tiao. Arghz!! Can't eat the you tiao!

After eating my lunch, I suddenly felt feverish. Sigh, so I rested till abt 5:45pm. Slightly better, so took 143 with dear to Chinablack and meet her friends and my friends. Just moments before we enter Chinablack, I just felt too sick, and decided to spoil the party and go home with Ed and Nic. Great friends to have I must say.

The bed was my immediate destination upon reaching home. Rest and sweated till the next morning. So till now, I am still wondering what's wrong with me. Even the doctor can't confirm. GOLLY!

Swallow your......

2005-07-20T22:10:00.000+08:00

Thank you, Parinya, for reminding me.

People who knows Parinya knows that he is this Thai boy from BIT@NP...
You see, BIT had this overseas fieldtrip during my last semester.
We were departing from Bangkok to Singapore, and Jeannie felt pain in her ear.
Parinya being concern said something no one expected him to say.

"Swallow your underwear"

Okok, he actually meant, 'Swallow your saliva', but he somehow spilled the words underwear out. I immediate gave him that diao-looking face -__-, and he gave me a oops-looking face 0.o.

Since then, whenever we meet each other, face-to-face or online, he/I will begin with swallow your underwear k? Haha, then just a few moments ago, Parinya who I guess is back in Thailand leading his torturous life, messaged me this:

Parinya:
swollow your underwear
Me:
dun get choke k?
Parinya:
ok, it is good when u got ear pain, i mean the pressure caused one
Me:
ya..
Parinya:
ehh... i took thai air...i got terrible pain
Me:
but pls swollow a clean underwear
Parinya::
no, smelly one better, it make u chock immediately

-__- Okk, anyways, I've finally scrapped through my stage 2 lessons.
Definitely need more practice. So excited to enter stage 3 now! Woohoo!
Oh yah, I passed my Final Theory Test this morning.
GOSH, was the question difficult and tricky!
Even when I gone through the practice lessons 3 times covering almost 75% of the available booklets, there were approximately 7 questions which I have never seen before. Gee, anyhow, I'm just delighted that I have cleared my theory, which will in turn, give me a peace of mind that I have one less item to clear.

Saturday's Liver Damaging Day

2005-07-19T22:33:00.000+08:00

Last saturday, 4 of us, Ming, Toh Liang and KM and a small gathering...
We went to Double O for some night clubbing...
We kinda met rather early at 8pm... thus we played some arcade games and had some satay before taking a cab down to Double O...

We ordered 2 jug of beer and KM was already too bloated to drink no more...
Beer totally sucks... makes the stomach feel bad.. I hate it too..
So KM went home first.. and the 3 of us continue our fun...
Haha, guess who I saw at Double O? Wei Xin! LOL!

In total, I drank 2 jugs for beer (Shared among 4), 1 jug of Whisky sprite, 1 jug of Vodka Ribena, 1 jug of Vodka Redbull, 1 jug of Vokda Lycee ($30! OMG), 1 Tequila shot, and 1 jug of Rum Pineapple...

Starting from the whisky, the jug is shared among 3... Haha..
I am able to think consciously, BUT i cant seem to walk in a straight line...
When we move our way to the dance floor, I seem to be bumping people in front and beside me... haha...

Poor Wei Xin... he was driving but not spared with the Tequila.. luckily he can still drive.. haha... He's a wonderful guy... offered to send us home.. but Toh Liang and Ming wanted to stay till Double O closes...

He sent me home and asked me why I didnt go back 'there' anymore...
Sigh... Of coz i told him why la.. but with his words.. I felt quite lost..

So Cheap!!

One day, Big Daddy Ivan asked Little Nicky to buy a big bottle of mineral water for him.
Little Nicky entered Cheers with this blogger and begin to search for the mineral water section.
Little Nicky saw 3 brands. Aqua, Life and one more brand which this blogger has forgot what it is.
After looking at the brands, Little Nicky checked out the price.
Being amazed with his discovery, Little Nicky immediately exclaimed without much consideration to his friends....

"Wow, Life is Cheap!"

Project Superstar

2005-07-01T00:09:00.000+08:00

Sweeeet... M3 and M4 happens to be people I know personally...
Why have it took me so long to acknowledge them? Haha, frankly speaking I didnt took time off to watch this fame-seeking show...

M3, Hoh Wei Jian... Happens to be my primary school friend. Quite a good guy I remember...

M4, Sebastian... Haha... He was from my Counterstrike Clan! LOL! Funny guy who really gives his attention to you when required...

Now this reminds me of a question Lionel onced posed to me while the both of us along with Vic and Nic were queueing up outside Zouk.
"What if one day, someone you knew just suddenly became so famous?"
At that time, I was thinking, 'Cant be lah, not possible'..
Well, this same question blew me off this time round...
My answer, nothing! Why? What?! U gonna change and be good to him/her after he/she got famous? Kinda no moral right? Haha...

Heard there's 2 Toh's in this competition. Wendy Toh and Candyce Toh. LOL.. Hope they go all the way and do the Tohs proud! Eh, if I'm not wrong, Candyce is my colleague's friend, and so is the SarongPartyGirl, whom was much heavily publicized in recent newspapers. Anyway, Wendy Toh is out. Sad!!!!!

Gee.... And my colleague happens to know Chee Keong, one of the pioneer clan members of the clan Lionel, CCH and I found. Too bad CCH due to some health reason, was not able to experience our ups and downs together with us. Singapore is soooo smalll!!!

U only left 3 mths.

2005-06-26T03:50:00.000+08:00

Okay...

You have contracted a terminal disease that is incurable and you will die... (CHOY!)
Would you prefer to know when you will die OR be left with a lingering doubt on ur future?

Well, for me, I will definitely wana know when I will die. Least I can plan what to do for the remaining days of my life prior to my death date. Pay respects to my elders, parents, siblings, go out with my closest friends, do things I won't usually do, and enjoy my life to the fullest with my loved ones. What will you do?

Okay, or maybe some of us are too afraid to know when we will die. But would it be any better than to know when you will die from the terminal disease? Seriously, I don't think so. Becoz you simply can't plan or even simply maximize your time left to spend while you are still alive.

Haha, don't press the panick button yet my friends, I'm perfectly fine at this moment, not that I have contracted some terminal disease or whatever. So don't need flood me with messages and coffin purchase contracts. LOL.

This disease that I mentioned above, is just a metaphor for me to describe the National Service which we, Singaporean BOYS, are required to go through. People seem to make a big fuss about it, somehow making sound like some sort of disease which make you seem 'dead' on enlistment date, and 'released' on weekends. And when your 'sentence' (Why sentence? Coz some friends make it sound like going to jail. LOL) is over, it's kinda like 'rebirth', isn't it? Haha...

My current situation happens to fall in the latter category mentioned in my first paragraph. I got my revised Pes status. From pending to B. Why cant the personnels at CMPB do a better job by immediately informing me of my situation, than to allow it to drag until my 1st further reporting order. And they then tell me I am required to check my body again, notably my heart, 3 mths later. If they could have told me on the day of my medical checkup (Becoz they diagnose and inform immediately to others), I would have saved 1 extra mth of waiting time.

Thinking that me having got my Pes status, I should have an enlistment date tagged to me. So I called up and enquired, only to fall into a deep disappointment. The customer service personnel informed me it would usually take abt 6 to 9 mths after my last medical checkup. With a little simple calculation, May + 6 Mths = November. So by right, I will be entering that batch.

Then again, my colleague told me that polytechnic intakes belongs to June, July, September and October. Which could possibly mean that I MAY be enlisted in October, because I passed my NAPFA test.

And with my unconfirmed date, I am not able to convince potential employers as they all feel I may be called up anytime. Which is simply no ideal to them due to the time spent in training me for the tasks.

Friends whom knows me well knows that I love planning my schedules ahead. Given my case now, it's quite bad for me as I cant really see the light at the end of the tunnel.

CMPB says they will let enlistees know 2 mths in advance before their enlistment. Seems NOT. I have a friend, whom if I have not mistaken, have to call up CMPB to enquire his own enlistment date. To his pleasant, or maybe unpleasant surprise, he will be enlisted coming July. Bearly a month left to plan what he is gonna do.

So what's worse than death is not knowing when you will die. So if you are lamenting over your 'death day', think again, you can at least plan your time nicely before you 'die'. While me? I needa take things a step at a time. Totally not my style! Arghz!

Life in my new company is pretty slow paced.
Do get busy at times though.
Customers do complain about company policies and functions of the hp.
What to do...? Nothing.. Just serve with a smile..

Now trying to pia my driving...
1k now left $110... haha...
i wonder how many lessons i needa book sia...

Just an update on church activities...
There was an Amazing Race...
I was teamed up with Elin and others...
Unexpectedly we got 1st place! Woohoo! $70 worth of swensens voucher...
We used it to buy an ice-cream cake for our church frens...
Tot of getting 2 cakes... which will cost abt 35 cents more...
But in the end bought the big cake... and Elin came out the rest of about $10...
Generous + Rich girl eh Elin? Haha..

Also had a night cycling with my church frens and James and Zheng Guang..
B4 we reached Pasir Ris Park, Elin had a collision with James...
Poor girl.. If i was her... I would hv been lying dead on the road...
Quite bad collision i would say.. and somemore the bike was over her.. tsktsktsk..
But Elin power sia... or isit stubborn sia? Hahaha.. :P Manage to ride the entire journey..

When we arrived at Pasir Ris Park, we were splitted into 8 teams... my team has got Elin, Rebecca, James and Zheng Guang...
Basically they gave us a set of questions and from the questions, derive the location and search for the objects which are in the park...

"I'm a minotaur and i stay in there... go to the center and find Thomas Edison's invention... count the number of bolts and nuts"

Something like this kind of question...

So we headed to the maze... because minotaur lives in a labyrinth according to my ancient greek knowledge... Reb and Elin were rather afraid.. coz it's rather dark u see..

Thank you to Sun Microsystems for the harness (sp?) cum torch light gift... the guys and i are able to complete the maze with a few challenges like crazy insects hitting us... and spider webs...

So we completed some questions in 30mins and headed back to the meeting point... that's when i thought i was hungry... then minutes later.. my stomach begin to hurt so much i can bearly moved not to mention cycling... readers must be thinking gastric.. cant be.. coz we ate buns prior to the commencement of the game.. needa thanks the aunties who graciously bought food for all of us... so kind of them.. and what happened to me? i sat in the church van while the rest cycled on..

while on our way back to east coast park.... the place we met b4 the start of the activity.. It was Reb's turn to fall.. seems bad.. anyway.. heard that she have problem healing.. God bless la.. :) hope no infection..

when all of us are at McDonald's... the top 3 prize were announced.. surprisingly our team got 2nd... and we were given a bonus 30 points becoz we completed the maze.. which was considered scary becoz it's dark..

what we won for ourselves? $15 worth of McDonald's voucher... thus abt 50% of our breakfast is covered by the prize voucher.. hehe... after our meal.. I am so lucky that Daniel stays near clementi area.. btw.. Daniel's from NP@BS... same yr as me.. first he sent Velda and this duno who girl home... Northvale at CCK.. then he sent me home.. hehe..

and previous sunday, it was Bethesda Chapel vs Zion Living Steam.. soccer match at marine parade.. the BBQ area.. hehe.. we won 5-1... Samuel grabbed a hat-trick courtesy of the opposition's goalie... one guy even grabbed my chest to shoulder area during the match.. haha.. and my objective for that game was to not fall down at all... guess what.. i made it.. haha..

after that game, i had another game for my club.. i must admit i'm kinda tired after that.. but i made a promise to play.. 1st half we were leading 2-1... second half we lost flat.. becoz we had no real defenders... that game was a pretty bad tempered game... i was tackled down but this defender.. i guess i let out a scream.. then my team mate rushed towards the defender.. like almost fight sia.. phew..

ok guys.. that's enuff to blog... 18june = my mum's bday.. dun think got any plan on that day la.. but got work till 2pm.. haha..

yes, thank you Elin for vetting my blog entry of spelling mistakes and errors i made.. haha...

2005-06-06T13:36:00.000+08:00

Dreams.... Everyone has dreams...
Let's talk abt a dream i had today..

I was in this scene... Me, Lionel, Lebbeus and a few others are taking their O lvl English paper together... We were in the classroom.. Lionel and Lebbeus told me i needed a newspaper cuttings for one of the section... I panicked a little... then Lebbeus helped me with the cuttings... abt NS one.. -.- after awhile.. the classroom seems to be my house... as i took a newspaper and cut it.. saying something like.. "this is my house la.. nvm.. juz take the paper n cut cut"

Back to reality...
Went to IT Fair on Sunday.. nothing much to see la... But there also have Sports Sale... Too bad there isnt any soccer related items there...

After the IT fair.. went for soccer training... the club seems to be breaking up.. now i know why they say morale is low.. gotta do something..

Training session is more meaningful and fun now... mayb becoz we hv a licensed coach training us... good job Shahul! Got a new 16 yr old keeper too.. seems pretty agile.. can really leap here n there... juz needa add the height.. and his distribution.. then it will be great..

Hand a 2 side game.. which i fell down and injured my left wrist again... duno why all of them thought someone stepped on my hand.. lol... mayb there is.. but i juz didnt feel it.. lol.. haha.. got to know this Clement guy.. a malaysian.. 21 yr old.. working at HP wor.. looks like Lionel's brother...

Hmm..

2005-06-05T01:35:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since i last post a msg...
Anyway... Sabah...

What happens in Sabah shall be memories and secrets kept with me...
Such intimacy deserves the privacy it should have...

These few days I have been feeling super negative, down, demoralized, not motivated and moody... Maybe because I feel life is rather direction-less at this current moment... some kind of emotional void feeling... simply not delicious to taste..

Called up CMPB a few days ago and asked them when is my enlistment, SIGH.. they say still pending... This means I still cant see the end of the tunnel at the moment...
Hopefully I can get enlisted by october...

Before i start my flamings... I have a golden sentence for all of u readers..
No one is perfect. If you want to pick someone's flaw, it will be endless. Learn to see the beauty of someone and accept their flaw.

Oh yah, one thing about Keith is that he doesnt like people to insult his family nor his friends... Why i say this... okay... see this extract below..

conversation between ABC and XYZ on JKL

ABC: U still got go out with JKL
XYZ: *Shows lan jiao bin (Lan jiao face)*
XYZ: Eeeeewwww...

Okay... so IF u think u r the one.. i think u need to do a certain degree of self reflection.. afterall... JKL has been treating you rather good...

Finally, I wish to say something to those who dun really know me well, and yet has heard quite a few things from others... seeing is believing... being narrow minded and yet believing to one side of the story, is like sentencing a suspect without trial, to death...

There's people who says I'm cunning... and people who says I'm a flirt...
And I know who's the one who fucking started the "Keith is YING" thing...
Seriously... how do you define cunning? I dun do anything behind people's back to injure them.. I dun plot against people... I just plan the path I want to take...

and for people who says I'm flirt... i duno... im always friendly to most people.. boys or girls...im not a sexist who is lusting for female attention only.. im more of a communication person who likes to socialize... yes... i do have close female friends like elin, wendy, jaclyn, esther and jasmine...

and yes.. i also heard some girls are actually scared of me... why? i duno.. coz they nvr confront me... mayb im too friendly? or mayb becoz of that one incident which i think they think i am fucking taking advantage of her juz becoz i grabbed her hand or whatever fuck... btw.. the reason i fucking grab her hand is becoz we were in a race.. and i fucking dun wana waste time hearing screams and standing still yet not moving... no one wants to lose a race...

so if u feel that i am cunning and that i am a flirt... feel free to confront me.. i will sort things about amiably... like i said.. i am a communication person...

Dream girl

2005-04-19T13:18:00.000+08:00

Somehow recently i've been thinking of what kind of girl i like...

1- Able to handle my jealous fits... when i say handle, i dun mean ignoring... we'll need to talk and compromise here and there... i'm the kind of guy who is fueled with jealousy...

2- treats my parents well... coz i love my parents... they worked hard for me.. and it's my duty to find my another half to respect them too...

3- filial to her own parents... you are how you treat your family members.. i dun see how good you can really treat your frens truthfully if you dun even treat your family members well.. it all starts from the roots..

4- someone who is independent.. but will often like to depend on me.. to sort of boost of male ego.. yes.. all guys have male egos.. haha..

5- communication and understanding is definitely important.. in my opinion, couples should have little or no secrets.. and lying is NO GOOD...

6- let's be a bit superficial.. i like girls with really nice eyes...

7- a girl who can cook keeps her husband...

8- showing the artisitic side of her is absolutely attractive to me..

9- give and take... this is something important... i dun want a girl who only expects to take from me all the time... sometimes going on dutch is good.. sometimes i pay.. sometimes she pays... this is the way it should be...

10- a caring individual is definitely a plus point.. like when i say i go hit on the face or even when my shoulder or whatever is a bit "suan".. actions will be taken like helping me massage or whatever..

now.. tat's basically the top 10 requirements.. haha...
how about looks? i would say looks is a bonus if she have it...
figure? i prefer to call it body build.. i prefer a lady who has a build smaller than me.. yes yes.. male ego again... haha..

one that comes close to my 'requirements' would probably be my ex-gf.. haha..
here's a pic of the both of us taken during prom night...

it's a pity that i could not take more pictures with her that day...
i look really sloppy... hmmm... gotta work out on my image...
have got this niggling feeling that im not really well-liked among many..

Less than one more week

2005-04-17T16:16:00.000+08:00

I'm going to leave for Sabah on Saturday.
The trip is rather different from the usual trips.
We'll be taking a coach to Johor, and board Malaysia Airlines there to Sabah.
Cheaper ma... Haha..
23 April to 9 May... Just in time to celebrate my birthday. Haha.. *Hint* *Hint*...

Prom night was pretty fun... the jokes he cracked and the dance at the end of the prom. Good music, good people to dance around with. And that was my first time dancing, OMG... think i suck at it... haha...

Initially, the plan was to chiong ChinaBlack as it was just opposite Marriott.
AArgh, insufficient vitamin M... so cant chiong... so I took a taxi back home. $11... hmmm... and the uncle taught me how to sing... hahaha...

Saturday was pretty boring... had a plan... but scrapped it... in the end played Dota with Eddy, Leslie and Leslie's friends... 3v3... First game we were dominating, second we lost flat, third one was pretty fair, but we could have killed them...

Gee... after Dota, next stop, Lionel's house for mahjong...
Finally got the chance to see his second dog... super active... lucky it's caged...

We played 3 players mahjong, Victor was playing FFOnline...
First 2 games, Ed was losing alot...
Lionel was the biggest winner at $11... me at $9...

Last game, Victor took over Lionel, and I bagged $19.60 in total. Poor Ed...
After our game, Ed went my house to stay overnight.

Oh, so money is your only character....

2005-04-12T06:19:00.000+08:00

You may find the following entry too insultive and offensive for your own liking. At any one point, should the content exceeds your level of acceptance, you may feel free to close this browse or surf out of this website. Thank you.

How farked up can it be when all you have is money when you are so flawed in your character. I'm not saying that I'm so God-liked perfect, at least I dare say I treat people better than you.

Can you guys imagine a bloody farking arse hole with face like a monkey and nose of a parrot? He's a real disgrace to family living on a single mother. Bet he's trying to make a bad name for families who's father pass away early, or should I place my wager that he probably caused his dad's death. (Okok, I sound super bad here. Demonic Keith has hardly been so critical on anyone, except this monkey here)

Oh yah, you are good a playing Dota huh? Love using those buggy heroes. And when people wanna use, you don't allow them to use citing it's buggy. And when questioned why he can use, he just smile away. Please la, people handsome or pretty, smile away can, you farking monkey, smile away people feel like farking your face upsidedown lor. Okok, farking your face will dirty our brother.

So you are a pro la? People just started playing Dota you also wanna use your best hero to kill them. Trying to show them who's daddy? Go find your daddy la... Go go...

Yes, you are sooooo richhh... you've got a Peugeot car. Great! Your friends stay out late with you, at night already, no more bus nor train. You have a car, what do you do? Tell your friends you have something on, and then stubbornly refuse to send them home. What? You need a shag so badly at night?

You car is probably like a Female toilet. You probably only send girls home. What a gentleman. Oops, what the fark, does girls even want to go out with you?

Ok la, so you are damn rich la, stay in Bukit Timah. When your car already spoil liao, then purposely push to blame to people, say people spoil your car and ask for compensation. Go find your own species and fark around with la.

The above person is understood to be a farking arsehole of society. Everyone reserves their own comments on individuals, so do I. You survived reading through my angry words, and realised you are like that monkey I described above, do the world a little favour, do a self-reflection.

I know friends who can be more descriptive than me, but what the heck. So sick to hear that there's actually such scums in this society. *PUKE*

Shows to watch!

2005-04-11T00:57:00.000+08:00

Who's line is it, anyway?
An eye for a guy 2.

Let's start with Who's line is it, anyway?
It's a late night show on Sunday. Check your papers, i'm lazy to find out for you.
Anyway, you should really be sleeping early on Sundays. Remember you have to work or probably even go to school on the following day?
Main host Drew Carey, the actor in "The Drew Carey Show". Doubt anyone of you will know him. So many people nowadays watching those chinese shows on channel 8 and channel U.
When I say this show is farking hilarious, I say this is an understatement of the real quality of the show. Guys and gals who cannot understand American jokes, you can go back to your bed and enjoy wetting it at night.

An eye for a guy 2. Woohoo! Guess who's the babe this time round? Nope, it's no longer FHM Singapore's Bikini babe representative Rachel Lee. It's now.... *drums please* DENISE KELLER!
OMG, YES! That german hot babe from MTV! Hmm.. thought she had a boyfriend? Arh.. never mind! Yes yes yes! I'm gonna watch it! A must catch! I simply love her. Okok, it makes me sound really superficial. Let's just put it as, I admire her God-given beauty.

Hope I would not miss out on so many episodes when I am at Sabah during Committee Service. Yes, no typo error on this part, neither is your old weakening pair of eyes deceiving you.

I'm going to Sabah for 18 days, starting from 23 April to 10 May. I'm be celebrating 2 of my birthdays without any celebration during that period. Chinese is on 20th Day of the 3rd month in the lunar calender, which is 28 April this year. And my English birthday, you can find it on the top right hand side of my blog site.

FYI, I accept belated presents! :) Don't be shy. Keep the presents coming in. Hehe... But i'm not gona place my hope too high. Every year, the guys' birthday is often overshadowed by the ladies. It's like the ladies only think for the ladies. Ok, maybe it's only true for my side of friends. Well, I'm not the only one feeling that way. Ladies, hope you gals dont get offended, that's how we feel. Feel free to correct our perception if i'm wrong.

Now it's 1:15am. Hope Nic has done enough studying to pass his last and only paper tomorrow. I should really be sleeping, guess I will stay up to watch that soccer match between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Tributes to my FYP Team. TechCubes

2005-04-10T19:03:00.000+08:00

- Lebbeus -
Absolute salute to you. You impress me with your work ethnics and strong determination to get things done. Like you always said, "If there's will, there's a way". Although we disagree some times... Okok, MOST of the time, it was rather for the better of our project. Apart from that, you always teased me that I am always "prettified" by girls. Tease comes to tease, I certainly hope people won't take it serious as some may, and in the end, hurt my reputation. I was just being friendly to people who are friendly to me. :)

- Lionel -
Yes, even though you were not as motivated as you used to be in the past, you are still able to submit the goods. You have your condolences with me of the death of your grandparents during the project and examination period. You come out strong mentally. It's great to know you since 1998. :)

- James -
We may have insulted each other because we both cant speak clearly. And I still cant hear you clearly! Glad knowing you. And quit being bias against me! Okay, maybe I am sensitive or whatever shit. Good job on the MIS part for the FYP.

- Adrian -
Great job for the ERP part of FYP (No one likes ERP), if only we could have complete our presentation on PBL2 within the given time.

Glad that everyone in our project team made the necessary sacrifices for what I deem as an excellent project done.
The panel of judges' feedback were positive. Steven Lim like the website. :D

How's life after examininations?

2005-04-10T18:02:00.000+08:00

Notice I didnt write "How's life after graduation?".
We have not officially graduated, YET!
You know, sometimes that odd luck may leave you to fail for that particular paper you thought you have done enough to secure a pass.
Everything's not clear till I get back my examination results on the 21st of April.
Oh my gosh, I wonder am I scared that I may fail my final paper or am I scared that I didnt get at least a B for my modules.

Anyways, can you believe that Jabas actually attempted to fool me not once, not twice, but 3 times on Friday?
1st: An sms in the morning, saying he got knocked in a motobike accident, and is the hospital now. I was thinking, WTF, you can still sms? Haha. I didnt buy that!!
2nd: While Nic, Ed and I are playing at the PS arcade, Jab said he has reached and is at the counter. Hell, I was fooled, he's still waiting for the bloody bus...
3rd: Right after the 2nd lie, he said the bus side mirror whacked him. I was like... "Wahahhahahaa, SONG BO?!". Then he replies something like I got fooled again. :/

Before I meet up with Nicholas, I was not able to contact him, so I ask Jab if Nic was with him. About 1 hour later, Nic contacted me and said his HP was in silent mode. Jab then contacted me, and asked me how. I told him Nic met an accident while driving over. When I called his HP, some medical staff picked up the call, and I asked if he knew Nic's family's contact number. I think he absolute bought it, even though he denies...! BOOOO!

Anyhow, what have YOU guys/gals been doing after the examinations?
Right after my examination on April's Fool, I gathered Nicholas, Eddy and Jabas. 4 of us went for a movie, Spanglish, at 10pm at PS. 2 Hours and 10 minutes of show time is really long, we were getting hungry and bored as the show is rather draggy.

After the show, ate at Newton. Then sent Jab home and picked up Lionel. 4 of us went to Nic's house. Played Risk, and then slept.
Supposed to swim on Saturday. The rain didnt make things easy. So we watched Cartoon Network and Nic taught me how to play the "FFX - To Zanarkand" on the piano.

It was 6pm, Nic had to go for his Uncle's wedding dinner. And I had to go for Don Tay's birthday dinner. Bought a Giordano Rugby-styled polo-tee and a giordana "Fun" wristband for him.

- - - - - -

Sunday:

Woke up damn late, prepared myself mentally and physically for a soccer friendly at Alexandra Hospital (My club's home ground). Gotten thrashed 12-2. Well, we were inexperienced, our first friendly, opponents were physically bigger and fitter than us, they had 2 African players with them. Ahh! The many excuses we could give ourselves is unlimited. LOL! But the fact is, we could have played better!

The match almost cracked up with a fight. Micky, our striker, was damn irritated by the defender's constant small fouls that were not noticed by the referee. He flared up and was substituted.

- - - - - -

Wednesday:

Extended my passport by 4 days. -___-"
They said I needed 6 months validity to leave Singapore. I could return to Singapore even if my passport no longer have the 6 months validity. Although I was reaffirmed twice, there's still a niggling sense of insecurity.

Bought rotiboy in clementi, then went home. On my way back, felt some pain on my left chest, I think it's my heart. Gosh! I was so afraid, I asked Nic out for lunch together.

Then went to his house for piano lessons, and he burnt for me family guy the cartoon. Have a steamboat gathering after that, didnt feel like going because of my heart pain. In the end, I still went there.

Didnt cooked anything, just sat and ate cooked food. Haha. Then went home le.

- - - - - -

Friday:

Wanted to go for checkup, but polyclinic close le. So went with Ed to school for some project submission. Madness! He submitted a thick book! Just like writing a thesis. OMG... Haha...

Then went to Beauty World for dinner. Saw a Killiney Kopitiam between Al-Ameen and Al-Azhar. Sms-ed Nic about it. Then he called me back. Chatted a while, he said he was gona Dota later at Parklane. So the 3 of us decided to meet up.

Nic gotta deliver food to his grandparents at Redhill. When Nic reached, his grandparents just left -___-". He waited for 1 hour. Ed and I was finding the block for 1 hour and got lost. -________-|||

Found our way back to Redhill MRT, Nic picked us up and went to Parklane for Dota.
Played at Head Quarters, I wondered if Denise was there, because she frequents there with her boyfriend. First time playing Dota, met some of his friends, Daniel, Fatty, Jimmy, Jimmy's gf, Jimmy's gf's brother and a few others.

Dota is fun. Played till about 2am. Weird thing is, Nic is a member, whilst Ed and I are not. And we paid the same price. Wonder how their pricing works.

Anyhow, went to eat supper. Ordered a dinosaur without knowing is cost $3. WTF. Killer! Have to suck finish every single milo powder.

After that, Ed, Nic and I went to Nic's house to sleep. It's kinda a habit for us to hangout together on Fridays and Saturdays le. Ed being the bloody night person, keep waking Nic and I up just for a game of Risk. We LOVE playing Risk FYI..

Woke up at 12pm the next day. Went to Killiney Kopitiam (KK) at Bukit Timah there.
Review:
- Kaya spread was cold and the spread is not much. KK at Killiney is way generous.
- Tea was alright, but Nic claims he tastes better tea. He's a massive food critic. I just eat what I have.
- Bread toast was pretty much room temparature. KK at Killiney serves just hot enough.
- I order Mee rebus, was not able to finish it. Tastes really normal.

I normally wont critise food that much. But for the reputation and money you pay at KK, it's simply unjustified. We even swore not to go there again for breakfast.

Then had a little Dota again, this time at Beauty World.

Went back to Nic's house for a swim. And trained left hand for "FFX - To Zanarkand". I must say it's really difficult to coordinate. Gotta work out on my brain for that.

Dinner was at Bukit Timah with Nic and Shiyan. Got to know Shiyan from Nic. Had Fish Head curry. Really didnt know how to eat, but the fish head was good. The flesh remains intact. Excellent skill? Perhaps luck? Hahaha.. I duno.

The Kangkong ordered was too long and could have added more taste to eat with the chilly. When I say taste, I dun mean salt. Salt can only bring you so far for the taste, it's always the ingredients used to allow the best taste of kangkong to be vomitted out.

Okok, vomit sounds a bit disgusting... Hahaha.. bet you guys never know that your perfume and cologne has a little vomit essense in it. Because this vomit solution can actually "explode" the scent, hence make the perfume's solution combination more "smellable".

Hope to blog more often as I can. Thus my friends who are bored can read my blog. Haha, and possibly making it more entertaining, not necessarily limited to my everyday life.

To start with a clip from www.suckball.com. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Call me Dr. Phil

2005-04-07T16:23:00.000+08:00

Your EQ is

153

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!

51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.

71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.

91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.

111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.

131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.

150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

Who's Doctor Phil? Hmm.. When they said I'm a dirty liar, they dont mean I am a great big liar in life... they meant i lied thru the quiz! So dun get it wrong k? It is soooo common to misunderstand each other, so i gotta make it clear.. im not say im going at English... :)

Your Seduction Style: Ideal Lover

2005-03-22T12:46:00.000+08:00

Your Seduction Style: Ideal Lover

You seduce people by tapping into their dreams and desires.
And because of this sensitivity, you can be the ideal lover for anyone you seek.
You are a shapeshifter - bringing romance, adventure, spirituality to relationships.
It all depends on who your with, and what their vision of a perfect relationship is.

What Is Your Seduction Style?

Womanie?

2005-03-16T18:51:00.000+08:00

Your Brain is 73.33% Female, 26.67% Male

Your brain leans female

You think with your heart, not your head

Sweet and considerate, you are a giver

But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

What Gender Is Your Brain?

anyone finding a girlfriend in man's hide? haha

Joke of the week

2005-03-06T21:14:00.000+08:00

Thanks to Malek, my soccer team's joker.

Today i'm supposed to meet the author of the street directory,
but he lost his way.....

^^

ROFL

rain, storm and then sunshine at the end?

2005-02-21T00:19:00.000+08:00

haha.. let's all hope the above title is true..

amid the torrent conditions and stress..
there's certain thing in life we all crave for..
just like how i crave for now..

love is simply the lovely solution to ease tension..
how do u define love btw?

everyone has different defination of love..
some believe in buying lots of gift..

for me.. i believe in being sincere, staying faithful...
caring.. loving.. protecting.. the one n only u love for..

sometimes.. how i wish i hv a gf now who would shine some love to me..
care for me.... talk to me...

for me... love is certainly one of the things that drives me..
sometimes.. i feel loving someone seems almost quite painful..
i have a fren whom just cant forget his ex-gf... and he's been thinking of her for more than 6 months already.. poor him..

the most painful word is probably " Waiting "
i've guy frens who are waiting..
and i probably have some gal frens who may be waiting..
and most importantly.. i myself am waiting..
and for those stupid idiots out there who thinks i duno what shit is waiting about.. screw u! u hv no idea how much i hv gone thru..

this reminds me the song.. " Sorry seems to be the hardest word " by Elton John and Blue..
If sorry seems to be the hardest word..
i love u odd the be the hardest phrase to say out..
lol.. probably the fear of commitment..

some ppl feel my life is complicated.. hmm.. i think they probably meant my relationship is complicated..

to start off.. even b4 i was born.. my family has got complicating background...
i hv 4 grandfathers... and 3 grandmothers...
hoho.. bet no one knows that.. haha..

i need love...! can someone from the opposite gender shine some to me?
lol... i got all the love i could have from qg n km already...
man.. i really love being together with them.. and i bet they do... dun they? ;)
*Qg, say yes, or else i will kill u* :P

i scare without love.. i may turn gay.. lol!
qg n km are great men! km is all so kind, humorous, caring and generous...
if i were a girl.. i will probably choose him... even though sometimes he is damn goofy.. LOL.. *dun kill me KM* :P

so Qg, i hope i have satisfied ur desire..
so u wont miss me when i'm in thailand.. lol..
u can read my blog.. and say..
"WOW... keith u finally updated..!"

okay.. and for all those who read my blog.. i may not hv enuff money to buy many things back.. so.. u all may or may not hv any gift from me..

i've been quite broke lately..
trips here.. trips there.. sigh... i need money..
i feel G** damned inferior without money...
Gosh! first time i have inferiority complex.. especially over money..
No money no talk! guess everyone heard of this phrase b4..
really.. if u hv no money.. dun say out ur stupid plans n ideas...
it's just so disappointing not being able to fulfil it..

goodness gracious! hv i lived up to my name for being froggie? haha..
saw this bloody idiot mosquito flying around a few seconds ago..
and i just grab the air and it with my bare hands..
woohoo! GRABBED! DEAD! REVENGE DONE! Hahhaa.. :P
who asked u to bite my frend 14 times all over...

ok la.. keith not that violent actually..
trying to let go a bit of stress..
u guys are lucky i feel a bit stress... if i didnt feel so...
i wont be blogging.. haha.. so if u ppl wana see more entries from keith..
u all can pray for me being ever so stressed up... and no one to love me... lol...

btw.. i think i getting more n more timid.. SIGH!!! WHY!!!!?

huh? hear wrongly?

2005-02-19T17:47:00.000+08:00

Qg: XXX's reach clementi already..
Me: Huh? XXX bring panties?

XXX: My bible's inside
KM: Huh? You got diaper?

KM: Is XXX smart?
Qg: Huh? Smell XXX's butt?

Goodness! LOL...
Btw.. XXX is NOT just one person.. LOL... But i just want to protect XXX's identity.. haha

God bless

2004-12-30T13:27:00.000+08:00

I could have been in the hospital now if i wasnt blessed by God.
Dios Gracias!

What happened? Ark!
While walking, i hit this 5kg dumbell off the edge of the table.
It fell and hit the tile.
Man! Huge dent and crack.

Itchy fingers of Keith touched those cracks, and got cut.
Fortunately, the cut is just as superficial as loving a person by just their looks and not knowing their inner self.

Watched Love So Divine yesterday.
Nice love story, strongly recommended movie.

Just murdered a Garfield-Spider-Look-alike a few seconds ago.
Haha, one gentle slap, and it flips around, lying dead.

Sigh, the pressure of FYP is great.
Tidal waves of deadlines crashes onto the clear shores.
A new year's approaching, everyone, it's time to make resolutions again.

But this time round, do try to fufil it, alright?
My resolutions will be out soon, hope to see urs on ur blog too ppl! ;)

And to do worst natural disaster that happened in South Asia on Saturday,
let's all have a minute of silence and pray for those still missing to be safe and sound, and for those who's loved ones perished with the tidal.
Dios Gracias!

Essentials

2004-12-28T14:00:00.000+08:00

Everyone has a particular set of essentials when they go out.
These are mine set of essentials! :D

1) My Motorola E365. Although problematic at times, but i still have to use it till a get a new handphone.

2) My Polo Wallet. I'm pretty sure it's pirated, bought from malaysia for RM39.90. Cant seem to find my kind of leather wallet, and my wallet's condition is bad. Would be glad to change my wallet any time. ;)

3) My 25 Hours watch. Oh yeah, this watch is my birthday present from my ex-girlfriend. I think the battery is dying soon, always reporting false time. But I just like the feeling of having it around my wrist.

4) My set of keys, chained by a harness, a wooden board made in thailand tag with my name on it, and a Sun Microsystems mine torch.

5) Definately my S$200 glasses.

6) A special gift from that special someone whom bought for me when i felt nausea and giddy in the bus ride to Bishan. Screw basketball! Anyway, it's a medicated oil refresher.

7) My Christmas gift. Quite expensive if i've not mistaken. It's actually a necklace, with a Cross pendant.

A Thousand Words

2004-12-27T23:25:00.000+08:00

I know that your hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me,
Your words are like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily...

acted so distant then,
Didnt say goodbye before you left
But i was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
You fought too easily
'Save your tears, cause I'll come back'
I could hear that you whipsered as you walked through that door
But still I swore to hide the pain
When I turn by back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if i cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid to say
Whats in my heart...

Cause a thousand words
Called out through the ages
They'll fly to you,
Even though I can't see
I know they're reaching you...
Suspended on Silver Wings...

Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will craddle you
Even although your weary
They seem far away...
They'll hold you forever...

Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
And carry you home
And back into my arms...
Suspended on Silver Wings...
On silver wings!

And a thousand words
Called out through the ages
The greater good
Ignore all the lonely
Heres to all the happy days
They'll hold you FOREVER...

Success is not the only motive for you to do something.
Just do it, if you want to.

There is NO success unless you make a move,
If there is NO perserverance, then you are doomed to lose.

Birth

2004-12-04T03:38:00.000+08:00

Blistering screams hollered down the walkway of the old hospital.
Thursday was like never before in 1985.
This beautiful lady was in the ward,
patiently and painful awaiting the delivery of her beloved son.

The cry broke off, a new life was introduce to the world.
This little boy's auntie gave him a name.
The name Keith imprints on the birth certificate.

Born in the noon period, Keith was given the name Ming Jian.
As suggested by the fortune teller, Keith has got ferocious potential,
only needing a both the moon and sun to guide him.
As the name Ming containts both the moon and sun chinese characters,
it is thought to help Keith lead a meaningful life.
While Jian signifies health in chinese.

To be continued...

When the ship reaches the habour, it naturally becomes straight? No!

2004-12-02T13:00:00.000+08:00

i've made a decision..
hopefully by late january, early febuary..
SHE will stop doing that..

if SHE continues to do that,
i have to make a cruel decision which i wont want.
if it continues,
it only means one thing and one direction for all of us.
if this problem persists, there is only one solution for me.
should no one be decisive enough by then,
let me be the one making the decision.

i have seen too much, knew too much.
but i like it when she's honest with me.
at least i can plan my next move.
really appreciated HER honesty, not many girl could do that.

and about my decision by then, it will be a simple one,
2 is a couple, 3 is a crowd.
i will step back, coz i know by then, if IT persists,
i will have already know the ending to our story.

and i smile forcely, grinding my teeth,
and congratulate you, and hope the best for your happiness.

thanks for your time, hopefully by then, you are decisive enough.

Test

2004-11-26T12:56:00.000+08:00

Testing Testing

Do your best, and try again.

2004-11-03T16:52:00.000+08:00

If you lost it twice, you won't have the fear to loss it for the third time.
So why not take a deep breath, and try it again, even if it means to start it all over again.
