Week 44...

As usual, Susan’s skills are at its best. My brows turned out marvelous…as usual :p Neat, clean and nicely shaped. Looking clean and prim again, and ready to take over the streets again. Hahahah…

Finally went for a short distance swim and was pretty ok. Only did 2km, but already panting like crazy. I better start running soon and on a regular basis, before I finished flat at my 10K race in December.

My Jap class was fun but the homework is getting more and intense. Sibei sian loh…I love the conversation and in-class lessons, but the homework is what I dreaded most. Haiz……lost the motivation to carry on another term. Anyway, we’ll see…

The rest of the week is pretty boring and only looking forward to my blading class over the weekend. FUN TIME!!

MotoGP Genting Trip 17-19 Oct

Back from my KL trip and it was disappointing. Don’t get me wrong. The MotoGP was fantastic!!…it’s the city that was sucky. It’s expensive and outdated. It wasn’t as good as before. Partly bcoz I’ll been traveling and KL just doesn’t match up anymore. There is totally no fashion trend, lousy/expensive food and practically nothing to buy back!!! It’s took me 2 shopping venues before locating the humble sour plums. It’s miserable man, I tell you. You thought it’s a simple/convenient tidbit, but when you want to find it, you just unable to find it. I find damn stupid and funny that day loh… :p Besides that, I didn’t buy anything.

Ok ok, enough of complaints and back to MotoGP. The sound was deafening for the final MotoGP catergory. It was shiok!!! The seats were vibrating when they zoomed past. It’s exactly like F1. the smaller bike categories, i.e. 125cc & 250cc, were less noiser and bearable. But when it comes to MotoGP (800cc), I have to put on my ear plugs. Hahahaha….it’s a very powerful noise!!! I LOVE IT!! You can get high, just by listening to it..No joke!

I changed S$200 just to buy Vale (for those uninitiated, he's the MotoGP World Champion 2008!!!) merchandise, but it was disappointing. I couldn’t find the ones I want. I wanted to get a visor and it wasn’t on sale. Then the pit crew shirt doesn’t have M size. So, imagine Justin & my face…black and long…just like a kid loh. Idiot!!! When I came back and checked online, the visor is totally out-of-stock now. Hmmm…have to wait loh. Hopefully, can get my hands on it by X’mas J.

Oh well, there’s nothing much to write for my 3 days trip. YES, it’s that boring…

Oh ya, Genting was lousy loh. the rooms was really nice and the beds are comfy, but there isn’t any mini-bar, safe, hand towels & proper wardrobe!! Damn insufficient for me..How can the rooms be so nice but lack in amenities?? Anyway, it will be the last time I’m ever gonna step foot into M’sia!

p.s. wanted to post the raw sound of the 250cc but the stupid blogspot takes ages to upload...so you guys can't have the luxury to listen to it...SHIT!! Too bad loh...

Feeling the HEAT...No birthday gift this year???

With my birthday looming in 5 quick weeks, I’m wondering whether I’ll be able to celebrate in style or in shambles…by then, if I’m STILL jobless (crossing fingers) by end of October, my mood will most probably go downhill from there. Haiz…it will be the only year in my working life, that I’m jobless come my birthday. Really REALLY si bei sian…

I don’t know when this hiatus will end…feeling the pinch now, especially in this time of recession (YES!!! It’s here!! Wake up guys…!! :( ) No more fine dining (not even McDonald’s!), no more shopping (that’s the killer…hits my sore point.. :( ), no more outing that costs money. I guess I need to sanction what I can do and cannot do. Most importantly, weighing the costs, if involved any. Best if it’s free or someone is sponsoring me!!! Kekeke…

When can I resume my lifestyle again???????? I hope not too late…feeling very lethargic/restless/sian-ness/unglam. I’m screaming inside man…I WANT TO WORK!!! The boredom is killing me…my butt is gonna have piles if I continue to sit in front of the PC and facebook, day in day out…

HEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!

Sore ankle & an ASSHOLE HR Mgr

Weekends pretty good. The only downside is, my Achilles is sore now after 2 days of blading. I reckon must be my overzealous attitude on stunts. Hahahah…oh well, I got 3 more days to walk properly before leaving for Genting.

During mid-week, actually didn’t enjoy the best of it. I was tua by the stupid HR manager and didn’t receive her phone call for the final interview. And it comes to a point that I need to chase for it. Even so, the agency girl told me today that they are still interviewing more candidates and will revert by this week end. I was thinking, “What the FUCK??!!”, they are not hiring a manger. They freaking looking for a JUNIOR POSITION!!!!!! What’s there to search high and low for a miserable post. It’s plain dumb and cost inefficient. I guess this post is not urgent and they can afford to play with the time. DAMN!!! I FUCKING NEED A JOB MAN!!! If I get another offer, I would fucking accept it straight away, just to spite them….MOTHER FUCKERS!!! They don’t know what they are missing…ASSHOLES!!

Back to icing my sore ankle & wrist…………….

KL, Krabi & Blading...can life be any BETTER!!??? Yippee!!

My interview went pretty good but this HR Mgr is sickening. Told me to complete the survey and she will call me the next day, but it’s been 3 days and I STILL YET to receive her call…bloody BITCH!!!! Even the agency girl called and offered to chase her for me…very good service :) anyway, it’s just a waiting game now….haiz….sian…

On Wednesday, went for a 4km swim and got a damn good tan. Hahaha…starting to itch now…skin’s peelin anytime!!! SHIT!! :p Then Thursday, went to book my MotoGP trip to KL with Justin. Pretty cheap loh, only $250. But the downside is, we’re stayin in Genting and have to travel longer…but anyway, it suits Justin’s new work schedule, so I’m ok with it….if not, we’ll be staying in Berjaya Times Square!!! 5*!!! Awwwww…..*drooling already*….

Today, went to collect my New Balance race pack…and my waxing session…nice & prim now!! Yummy!!! Kekeke…oh well, I’m all set for my blading tomorrow and Sunday… ;) Feeling all set and ready to take on the world!! If I manage to master the T-stop, I’ll go blading next week to blade on my own…kekeke….getting tingling already…hahahaha…hmmm….once I get my job, I’ll definitely get my own set of wheels!!

Oh ya, my grandma is on the feeding tube, and she's getting more nutrients now. And she definitely look MUCH MUCH better...she can talk louder, joke more and smile...feeling more relieved now :) Will be praying hard for her...

Well, it has been an eventful week…looking forward to my KL & Krabi..and blading too!! SHIOK-NESS!!!

Tough times ahead...but still travelling!!??

Just confirmed my trip to Krabi and most probably tie up the trip to KL as well, by the end of this week. Another good news was receving a call from the job agency. It took me 4 hrs to return it back. Hahahah…coz I was comtemplating whether to go for the interview with Thome Shipping. Despite the internal struggles (worries given by the stupid interviewer), I decided to call back and arrange the 2nd interview. So, now waiting for her call to tell me the firm time/date. After which, if they really offer me the job, I’ll call back my ex-company and see whether they are willing to terminate the new guy and take me back. I know it sounds bad, but it isn’t what you think. Coz this guy got issues and my colleague reckon he will be a problem in the long run, so that’s being taken into consideration. Anyway,……….I’m just hoping for the best :)

Kinda half hearted about the trips, but I know I’ll enjoy them even in the situation I'm in now. Haiz…trying not to think so much about it and living life by the day. Hoping to snag a job real soon and I can resume my routine shopping spree and contribute to the family allowance…praying damn hard…….

It’s tough now….not so rosy after all.

Jobless Streak........this can go on Forever!!! Noooooooo!!!

The interview was kinda sucky after knowing the background of the company. Furthermore, it’s the different company from my ex-colleague…haiz…sian :( It was raining and forced me to buy at lousy brolly…then when I was putting back my earrings, the backing dropped and lost amongst the granite flooring. Bloody hell, what a lousy day man!!!! Couldn’t be worst than that……….

But it did get better, my grandma got a heart attack. What a day!!?? It wasn’t too serious and she’s doing ok for now. I just hope she can gain back her breathing regulation and walk again. That’s my only wish for now. The only comforting thing that came out of this is seeing her smile. It really breaks my heart to see her there…

It’s coming 2 weeks since I’m in my work clothes. The job openings have been few and far between. Didn’t even receive any this week. Market is bad and it’s coming year end, so everyone is hanging onto their job for the sake of bonus. Come January, all the young punks will graduate and compete with me in the job market. But I doubt they will affect me much, given the niche of my job scope and shipping line normally required experienced people. So, I can take heart from this :).

Nothing much I can do now, but facebook everyday and MSN. What a lousy way to spend my hours…isn’t there better ways to spend my precious time instead of frivolously wasting Father Time away…I’m hopping mad, but there’s little to stop this until I find a job…

*cross my fingers to receive some interview calls SOON!!!*

I REALLY let myself go... :(

I really let myself go today. Was bingeing the WHOLE day…choco, fruits, peanuts…coz I was too bored at home and I just have to stuff myself with food. That’s why I dread staying home! :(

Practically, I feel that I gained 2kg or more…so idiot loh…gonna put in more exercise soon loh…ab crunches, pull-ups, runs & swim!!! Gonna do them all (if I can…kekek..)

Received an inviting call from some gf of mine this afternoon. Hahaha…we went for dinner, did a bit of shopping and chill out at Starbucks. But the best part for me is the handphone themes!!! She bluetooth-ed me the Black Melody, Garfield (the Pink Melody & Carebears were corrupted loh…so sad…I really like those 2 also.. :( ) and some ringtones as well. Hahaha…totally adore them. Now, I can assigned them to the really important people ; )

Enjoyed the time spent and seeing her again. But she needs to get herself together again. It really shows on her face loh…must take care ok ;) Then we were exchanging updates about one another and bitching over other people/stuff…hahahaha…

Another good news is that I’ll be going for an interview @ The Plaza in Beach Road. Hopefully, I’m shortlisted and we’ll take it from there. Good luck to me!! If I get it, I might (MIGHT) treat myself to a mini shopping spree (ya rite…you girls must be thinking, who got such thing as a mini spree…hahaha…yaya, I’m just bluffing myself.. :p you’re talking about Nick, for Christ sake!! He will go crazy when it comes to shopping!!)…

…I totally agree with you!! Hahahah….no la, I promise I’ll control ya ;)

p.s. if you’re wondering, the gf of the day is Jo.

Blading is FUN but Aching...hahaha

The weekends were aching yet fun! We managed to pick up blading within 2 days of learning. It’s pretty amazing. I’m amazed at the rate I picked up the sport. We gave ourselves 1 month to fully in-sync with the skates and glide away in victory. Keke…it’s a great form of exercising too. I never realize it can be so taxing on the body. The back, the legs especially, are the main body parts that we utilized. So it’s a good workout but without you knowing it :)

On Saturday nite, went for the F1 Qualifying Race. It was grand...many people, many road closures (hahaha...), and lots and lots of heat!! It was humid and I had to walked a bloody long way just to get to my seat. Anyway I stayed for 30mins and off I go. I don't wanna get stampeded when it ended and the crowd starts to disperse. I couldn't get any good shots, but here's the sound of the raw power of the machines racing my way ;)

Thank God for the good weather and appreciate him for that. *a round of applause* Apparently, today’s beaming with sun-rays yet again. Hahaha…the big guy is in the mood of summertime and delaying the fall of the autumn leaves. Hahahaha…anyway, I love my weekend and it WILL carry on to the next ;)

Oh ya, I got 2 calls from the job agencies, and hopefully I can get my some interviews…that’s it folks. Cya!!

Relationship, Marriages, Babies...

Now, with everyone around you getting older, having a relationship is no longer a hip thing. It’s now-or-never kinda thing. Coz at our age, we’re expected to have a relationship and progress to marriage in due time. We no longer can have a relationship for the fun of it. We’re totally out of that league now! Hahaha…how the tables have turned in such a short time. Once you’re over 21, it’s all about commitment and those “for life” thingys. Cannot play play liao… :p

One by one, people get married, people get attached and going for long term relationship, it occured to me that I’m getting older and that bio-clock may start to tick anytime. Time has taken my friends away from me. Hahahah…so funny. I was once in the position of a sweet 16, playing my youth away at the courts, and now here I am, 25 and single. Though once married, it was a bittersweet experience. I’m not here to spill the spoils for you love birds out there…just stay strong and work things out…and most importantly, be trustful and TALK!! Very, very important.

I have many surprises along the way; as in finding out some of my friends are married and have kids. Especially those unexpected ones. I’m happy for them to found their calling to be parents. :) I reckon I should hear more wedding bells coming my way in the next 5 years for sure. Hahaha…it’s always nice to be part of something like that..maybe my clock is ticking whilst I’m writing this post.

In this time and age, it’s so difficult to find a girl here to fit the bill. Ok, I’ll be fair…most of the things on my bill. It’s not easy. Maybe I’m too choosy, but hey, it’s for life dude! Choosing a wife and choosing a girlfriend is totally two different issues. The all time favourite is, “a wife need not be gorgeous, but a girlfriend must be”…bcoz they are for show-off!! Kekeke…you guys out there must be sniggering now rite. ; ) But the truth is, these facts are old, but true. You need someone whom you know can help raise your family, respect and trust you, have maternal instincts…there’re more down the list, but these are the essentials. It differs from people to people, but to me, these are the KPI. Hmmm…have yet to find “Ms Right” to wholly fulfill my criteria, so I guess it’s back to the drawing block and wait. Either that or strike off some of the criteria…oh well…let’s see about that. ; )

Life goes on...pretty well so far : )

The week’s been pretty kind to me. So far, it’s packed with activities. Had lunch with Charles on Monday; Tuesday went swimming and shopping with Jasmine @ Haji Lane…great stuff but cannot buy!! Sian…; Wednesday, had coffee with Sherlynn after 3yrs of not meeting while working in PIL…hahahah…ironic rite…anyway it’s was great that we met up and had a fine time :) it was brought over to the night when we chill together with her friend, Angeline @ alleybar. It’s been a month since I drank, so it’s pretty nice…but no more Frozen Magaritas for me!! It’s too girly!! Hahahah…; then today, had lunch with Justin and Henri…it’s always nice to have lunch with my ex-colleagues. They are no longer colleagues, they become family. There’s always a urge in me to go back and visit them, especially my ‘uncles’. It’s comforting to see everyone is doing well and living well. Later, gonna enrolling in blading. Cool!!! Wooo!!!

Life’s pretty wrapped up now…plenty of activities going on. And when I got a job, I reckon more will come. The 1st thing that come to mind is cable ski @ Batam. For $90, you get to ski for the WHOLE bloody day (or until your hands fall off) with lunch as well. BEST man!!! It should be real fun…and maybe I should seriously get a racer bike if I want to get into duathlon. Been thinking hard about this…keep on cracking Nick!!

Oh ya, and I cannot forget my “missed buys” at Haji Lane. The really cool jacket and tops that I’ll been salivating ever since I tried them on…I know the jacket’s still there, but the tops…hmmm….let’s hope it’s not taken ; )

Well, there’s the plan for the whole month (actually only 5 more days…machim sound a lot…kekekek :p)…I guess that’s about it, unless I come up with more stuff to do…hahahaha…

The Good, The Bad & The FUN!!!

There have been ups and downs for the week. Bad news first. The downs were my resignation from Samsung and I got a lashing from my MD. I don’t want to list out the things he said coz it really affect me that day.

The 2nd thing was my grandparents are in really bad shape. My granddad is in nursing home and he’s doing pretty well there, but when he held me hand I can feel his sadness and when I left and turned my head, I saw him wiping his eyes. I can feel the tears too. There’s nothing I can do as this is the best arrangement for him. I will try to come and visit more often. My grandma’s health have been deteriorating the past few years. This is the worst year that I can remember. I can see her from shouting to talking softly now. From walking to sitting on the wheelchair. It really breaks my heart to see her like that. She’s been in and out of hospital like nobody business. I just hope she gets better soon. I’m praying everyday to make that happen.

And as for my maternal grandma, it’s the most saddening. She got only 2 weeks to live. I was taken aback by this news. She’s actually the most healthy among my 3 grandparents, and also the oldest, at about 90.

The world’s just come crashing down on me suddenly. I quit my job, my grandparents all are in poor health, for once I really feel that life’s very fragile and everyday matters. I don’t want anything bad happen to them, but there’s nothing I can help to stop this cycle of life…only God can take over from here. Please take care of them when they call upon you……..thank you…

Ok now for the good news!! Thank God I got my best bud to listen to our worries. He’s there to listen and help. Appreciate it bro!! ;) Then I had the best Sunday in a long time. We went cycling, flea market and bowling!! It was relaxing and I wish it didn’t end. I even thought it was Saturday!! Oh well, I hope we can arrange more of such fun stuff in the future….and I know we are capable of ;)

Photo taking rocks too!!! Oh ya, and I got my 1st turkey & high scoring game…way cool!! Linfu & Lao Ma got broke the 100 mark and record their personal record…hahahaha….we ROCK guys!! :p

Great Finds @ Haji Lane!!

Today was great!! Went shopping with Serene and Wei Hao. Kekek…it was fun and fulfilling. We headed out to Haji Lane to snatch some good deals, and indeed we did. I managed to see some great jackets, coats & tees, but I didn’t buy…*sob sob*…I need to triple check my expenses coz I’ll be jobless soon, so every penny counts. Anyway, I could have easily clock up $500 worth of merchandise if not for my strong willpower. :p There was this one black jacket that looks like deconstructed with shiny buttons @ $159…and there’s a black, long cardigan from White Room @ $80…and finally 2 tees @ $39.90/each. You see! It’s easily $300…no problem for me..hahahah…anyway, that 2 got a buy each and I’m happy for them..

Then we settled at this fashion shop-cum-ice cream parlor called Pluck. It was so cool!! Coz, the last 2 times they went, it was closed. So I was kinda like the lucky star!! Hahah…and I kept emphasizing it. :p The lady owner was super nice and so were her staff. It was very cosy and neat. You just wish they can stay there longer…here’s the card I took from them: *see up!!*

Operating hours:
Weekdays – Monday to Thursday, 2pm to 8pm
Weekends – Friday & Saturday, 2pm to 10pm
Sunday – 2pm to 5pm

The rum-and-raisin ice cream is addictive! The rum was super strong and that’s the way I like it!! yummy yummy!! I’m sure to go there again to get my alcohol fix. And their brownie was nice too…it wasn’t hard, soft and slightly warm…awwwww…so chocolately loh…it’s a rather big piece, so it will be nice to share :).

Anyway, I still moaning over my missed buys, and I hope I can get them soon…gonna get a job soon and off to shopping again!!! Jacket, cardigan and tees….wait for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ordeal is over...time to trot the globe!!

The 2nd week of work had passed and the 3rd beckons. I’ve tendered last Friday and awaiting a session with my GM on Monday. I’ve feel more relieved now but I still jumped out of my bed over the weekends at 3am!! No joke! I really JUMPED OUT of bed..it’s scary loh. I must be super stressed out and frankly, I didn’t get much beauty sleep these 2 days. It’s incredible but I’m just glad I’ve done it. It’s a load of my mind and it’s time to plan my next step. Travel!!! Gonna do that before I embark on another job hunting craze.

Getting fat and lazy now…didn’t been running for the past 3 weeks, as well as swimming. I reckon I’ll plan some sessions after my last day and squeeze in as much swim and run sessions in the coming weeks. Need to get my 28” waist back. Hahahha…

Perth, Japan (still contemplating Tokyo or Osaka), KL & Redang…hope at least ONE of them coming true…I don’t want to be known as a man of no words… :p

A Turn of Fortune??? Seems like it...

Apparently, I’m hooked to alcohol once I have stress. The first thought that came to my mind is a good, cold drink when I’m super stressed out. Mondays are the worst, and once it passes Tuesday, it’s all down hill from there. I meant it in a good way. Down hill is fast!!! Like the roller coaster..so the mood tends to be better from then on. Hahahah…

Work seems to be more interesting, once I put the boring operations and report writing aside. The sourcing aspect is damn interesting. I just like the sound of it. Supplier visits is common here and I can go anytime I want! Cool!!! I can definitely learn more and pick up faster :) I’m super delighted to know I can do that here…the culture is definitely more linked with what I studied, i.e. supplier visits, local and overseas, to check their operations and quality. I didn’t do that often in PIL, besides in Shanghai. Locally, I didn’t get the chance loh…not a single chance in 3 years. Makes no sense…haiz….anyway, now’s my chance. I know I will benefit much from this ; )

Hmmm…should I ask my colleagues to go clubbing this Friday?? *pondering* I need a drink now!!

A week of HELL..

It’s been hell of a week. It’s my 1st week in Samsung and the first 4 days is a torture. I think I went into a state of panic and fear. On the 1st day I was already talked into meeting the management’s high expectations of me. To add more that I can handled, my AM and SM told me the same stuff that I need to learn fast, meet expectations blah blah…I was actually frightened for the 1st time in a very long time. It’s even worst when I first stepped into PIL. And on the 2nd day, I already have thoughts of tendering. I even called my ex-boss that I want to go back. I talked to my HR as well, and both said the same thing.

“It’s only a few days, give yourself a chance to adapt.”

Anyway, my ex-boss just wants to cover her ass bcoz her job is on the line if I go back. Management needs justification from her side and it’s very difficult to do that. Humbug! Anyway, I don’t care now. I will NEVER GO BACK TO PIL, even I’m jobless.

The 1st 4 days were living hell. I whined to practically anyone I could get my hands on, especially my family, Justin, Jerry and Nas. Hahahah…I’m glad they stood by me and offered advice and comforting words :) Thanks guys!!

Yesterday was shiok bcoz we went for a farewell dinner for a ex-colleague. Only 1 yr in Samsung!!! Wah lau!!! The turnover rate damn high man. Only 1 lousy year…anyway, the Korean food at Jang Shou @ Esplanade was fantastic. As usual, I forced myself to eat the kimchi until the main course was served. BBQ pork and beef!!! Yummy!!! Then we had drinks with my GM. Hahaha…he even said, “Now I like Nicholas more..”, just bcoz I drank more and he kept refilling my glass. Hahahaah…funny loh. He and my MD had already suggested that we should have more drinking sessions from now on. ON lah!! It’s only from then on that I’m relaxed and happy. I guessed what I needed was liquor. Eases my body and mind. All that undue stress was gone and I’m feeling good about myself all over again. Great!!!

Back to work on Monday. Hahahah…

A sucky 3 days...

Weekend was rather laid-back and restless. Friday night was spent with Justin and the guys @ Robertson Quay. We had a chill-out session and time just quietly slipped by. Reached home about 2am and slept at 3. Though I enjoyed the company, but I felt it could be better.

Saturday was even worst. I was just rotting at home, literally! In and out of my room, pacing up and down of the hall, not knowing what to do. So, I end up stuffing myself with food and lying on my bed. Took a short nap and still I was restless. I reckon the best thing that ever happened yesterday was the night’s TV shows. If not, I might hang myself!! Die of boredom!!

I guess the most eventful day would be today; the Nike Human Race 10K. All that hype about this race is immediately wiped out when we were ushered in the various pens. We waited for about 15-20mins before it started. Technically speaking, it was 5mins late and we’re already complaining. The route was badly organized due to the width of the route. I understand it’s daylight and there was traffic, but the route was very narrow and I got knocked into many times during the course of the race. Didn’t really enjoyed it thoroughly. I’d been through so many races and it’s the 1st time I had been knocked into soooooo many times. Idiotic man!! The runners have no sense of their body movement. Anyhow swing, anyhow out-stretch their body parts. So infuriating. :( It would be my 1st and last time joining this race. If not for the charity nature of this race, I would think twice. Furthermore, it cost me $48.15. It’s expensive for a 10K race loh…and I just found out that only 20% is going to the charities. SHIT!! Not fair loh…stupid Nike people!!!

Anyway, tomorrow’s Monday and it’s my 1st day at work in Samsung. Hope it will turn out well and my colleagues are nice. That’s the most IMPORTANT. :)

Reflections

Was reading my 1st entry and skimming through the rest and I found out how much I’ve grown. Maybe less childish, but definitely I lost the essence of being myself through the years. The older I get, the more vague I see myself coming through in the things I do, say or portray. I’m becoming less of me. The once youthful, fun-loving, innocent guy is a thing of the past. Out come the down-to-earth, family-oriented and somehow serious man at the end of the 25yrs.

Reading past entries brings a smile and tear but all’s good. It’s always fun to know what you have been through and compare to what you would have done differently now. But one thing I notice is, I’m always the willing party for the gathering organizations. It seems like I’m the only free person around to do all of these things. Where have the camaraderie gone to?! Friends are often taking advantage of this and yet complain the inadequacy. Then step up your game and take over the reins!! Stop whining and start doing something useful. Sick of being so “extra” and the simple “thank you” is not enough at this time of age. It’s not sincere enough! Actions speak louder than words. So do something!!

I’ve grown to love my family and myself more, and maybe include some close friends. And that’s about it. My love well is starting to dry up, so rationing is now the word. I don’t want to spread love like plague in an instant. Nothing’s free in this world…even love. I’m happy for those who found love and basking in it now. Congrats :). And for those who haven’t and don’t intend to, don’t fret coz there’s plenty more to be done on this Earth. Like volunteering, saving us from global warming, tons of other charities to sign up and lend a hand to. It brings purpose to your life and you’re doing for a good cause. Save others to save yourself as well. Who knows, you might find a like-minded half when you least expected it. ; )

My male testosterones are back in place and the man is back. No more sissy matters for now. I’ve no tolerance for nonsense and unconformity. When I need it perfect, I want it perfect. I’m a neat freak and perfection is a must. Every corner must be of the right angle and every line must be straight. If not, I would go berserk. Hahahah…

Don’t know why I’m writing this, but it feels good to pen down my thoughts and reflect it later. Different moods in different settings listening to different music affect my writing…like right this instance. Wong Lee Hom’s Forever Love and Utada Hikaru’s Flavor of Life are both touching and subtly sad…befits to the entry of the day.

Sneezy Day... :(

Looking my Sunday’s best, I got talent spotted today at CityLink. This China girl said I got style…blah blah…gave her my email anyway. It’s better than my mobile. Kekeke…it feels shiok to know I still got it! ;)

Had the flu bug bugged me the whole day, and it has to be today. Met up with Jasmine (for those who don’t know, she’s my Jap classmate) to go Comex. She’s going to do ground work for her job, and as me, I’m just looking a Besta translator dictionary. Costs a bloody $499 to $699…gonna hold that thought and count my monies 1st.

Pumping in H2O now and gonna a early rest tonight. Tomorrow’s PARTY NITE with the boys!!! Hahahah…yippee!!! Gonna paint the town red…ehhhh, I hope so lah…kekekek :p

What a week it has been. Full of activities and hardly a day off. I’m loving it and savoring every moment. Life’s great and adrenaline’s pumping. Everything’s in order and ready for me to kick-start my new career in the electronics industry.

*thank you for everything you’ve done for me and I appreciate every single moment.*

Old Age? I would like to think it as coming of Age.. :)

Seeing my friends are having so much fun in their prime just makes me jealous. Everyday seeing new parting pics posted on Facebook, just brings out the green-eyed monster in me. *sob sob* Just hoping my new colleagues are more happening and we will have a hell of a time PARTYING!!! Die Hard!!

Hmmm…life’s been good lately. Other than what’s mentioned above, everything’s going smooth. But somehow I feel I’m not getting enough sleep?! Slept at 1am, then wake up at 6.30am!!!??? It’s crazy man! What the fuck was I thinking?! And lazing on bed for the next 2hrs wasn’t gonna help, but it did help me pass time. A few more days of partying/resting/eating and it’s back to the workforce. Excited and nervous. The same emotions that rushed through my body when I 1st entered PIL. Somehow, the nervousness is lesser now; maybe due to the working experience I’d garnered and there’s lesser to be afraid of. What I’m afraid is, what’s my colleagues like. Crazy and rowdy, silent and selfish, or what? I prefer the earlier one. It’s closer to my ex. Hahahah…a fun bunch of people working with you always makes you day pass faster :)

Oh well, getting older now, 25 going on 26 in less than 3 months. my desired laugh lines are getting more prominent and those crow feets are getting deeper. Think Wong Li-lin and George Clooney respectively. Kekekek…I love these flaws. Maketh a man looks wiser (not necessary) and mature. Nick…ol’ Nick, you’re coming of age and those white hairs are sprouting faster than you can spot them. Better make full use of your life before time runs out.
