ANOTHER YEAR...

2011-12-31T17:09:00.001+08:00

I usually don't have the mood to blog or whenever I actually do get the mood, i dawdle and end up losing my mood to blog. However, today is special and different. My desire to blog is frankly quite astounding and astonishing to me. I never thought that I would be so focused and committed to blogging.

Anyone will know why I feel like blogging today... IT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE! It's not everyday that one gets to reflect on the year, think about the good and bad, make his resolutions public and look to see if he completed the resolutions he set for himself in the year.

2011 was... REALLY EVENTFUL. I learnt so much, matured so much and practically changed so much. You know, I never expected many things to happen but it did and each and every incident leaves a very deep mark on me.

First of all, I shifted from this:

to this:

No my new house does not actually look like that now after renovation but yeah, you get the idea. It was something extremely eventful for me, moving out of a place where I had stayed for 14 years! I do get nostalgic at times but I hardly feel like that anymore because I've accepted my new home and I pretty much like our cosy little house! It may not be the best but still, I have to say, I'm extremely proud of our little home :)

Last new year's eve, I was worried, where I would move to because my parents were thinking of selling the house but this year, all is calm and settled. I do not foresee any changes hopefully and let's hope the new year will bring us more joy and pleasant surprises!

Next, I distinctly remembered saying I wanted to travel to a faraway country. Somewhere where life is extremely different for me and yeah bitches, I did just that.

I travelled halfway across the world to EUROPE and visited the UK....

And went to London.....

And flew home in the A380.

Say... O-H-M-Y-G-O-D. I never expected that I would have the chance to visit London albeit it being with my school. I never regretted going on the study trip AT ALL. I made new friends, became closer WITH my friends and all the same, having so much fun on A DIFFERENT CONTINENT. I believe I never blogged about my UK trip properly, in fact, my travelogues are failures but all I can tell you is that LONDON-It was nothing like any other city I've been to. That's as much as I can say.

Not only did these two REALLY eventful events happened.... I ALSO FULLY EXPERIENCED WORKING LIFE as an intern. I regret that I did not take many pictures but

Here's a little something to tell my readers, this happened to be a part of my internship and I am immensely proud of it. I managed to complete it successfully and actually grew with the experiences and lessons that I have been taught. If you ask me, I WOULD ACTUALLY NEVER FORGET what happened because this is my first proper working experience and it includes wearing long sleeves, donning a blazer and black tie and SITTING before a judge. WOW.

OH and before I forgot...

I ACTUALLY WENT DRINKING & CLUBBING in the year. Though not something to be really proud of, I still feel that it was a passing phase and I'm glad I experienced it, drank all I wanted, felt high, drunk and had all the fun I wanted.

Other than that, 2011 had its fair share of downs. I had my sad moments, I cried because someone dear to me was struck with a chronic disease, I went overboard with certain things but well, let's not go there. I mean, life is always full of ups and downs but what matters the most is that we appreciate life fully and try not to get bogged by it.

Now as I blog this, I want to direct you to this post here. I blogged about 2010 in words and I just wanted to let people know how I've matured and changed by the year. It has always been a tradition of mine to link entries to entries reminiscising how things could have gone better, how different I was and technically to see if what I set out to do years ago were actually fulfilled.

FOR THE UPCOMING 2012... MY WISHES ARE VERY SIMPLE

1) I HOPE * condition will stabilise.

2) I HOPE for my family and myself to remain healthy and continue to be happy and be contented with all that we have.

FOR MYSELF

1) I HOPE that I successfully graduate from the Polytechnic with good grades. I hope to hit a GPA of 3.3 before I leave TP

2) I HOPE that I would be able to be more strong and resolute in my standing. I should push and fight for my views if I think it's correct.

3) I HOPE that life in army would be great for me (P.S: Army soon for me :/)

4) LASTLY, I hope that on 31 December 2012, exactly a year from now, not a day more, not a day less, I will be able to sit in my room or okay, maybe not my room but SOMEWHERE and sit down and blog about 2012- how awesome and how I've matured in the year.

2012 is just hours away. Hours away from stepping into a new year, a year of new beginnings, a year of happiness and hopefully, a year of joy. I ask for nothing more than a blessed and HAPPY NEW YEAR for everyone else.

In short, 2011 WAS/ is/ HAD BEEN MOST AMAZING and truly wonderful. I now wish all READERS, PEOPLE, FRIENDS, FAMILY and EVERYONE out there... A BLESSED AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU.

May this new year bring you joy, happiness, love, care and warmth. May you seek greater boundaries and targets and ACHIEVE everything that you set yourself out to. Because frankly, the sky is the limit. So go ahead, do not be afraid to dream. Only be afraid that you did not achieve anything and regret it later on!

With that, I end this post and direct you all to this song. This is a song from the recent movie of New's Year eve. Enjoy it and see you all soon!

Cheers,

Eugene

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

2011-12-25T23:17:00.000+08:00

Okay, so Christmas is finally here AGAIN! :) How time flies. I'm pretty sure I just celebrated Christmas yesterday, or at least, it felt like it. I still remember vividly how last Christmas was spent and now, I'm talking about this year's Christmas.

I always had this vision of Christmas, me snugged up in a comfortable armchair, reading a book and silent night playing in the background and all the while, snow falling heavily outside. This had always been the perfect Christmas that I imagined for myself. Okay, throw in a hot chocolate and me sipping it while reading the book. This sounds all too perfect doesn't it? I have no idea why I thought that this vision would be the best scenario for Christmas.

This year, my idea of a perfect Christmas isn't about sipping hot chocolate admist the heavy snowfall, rather, this year, all I want for Christmas is to perhaps, really understand Christmas and enjoy the simplicity of things. I do not ask for much this time round, perhaps, listening to carols, understanding the religion and basking in the festive season.

I come to realise that Christmas is not all about seeing the snowfall in New York City or listening to carols in London, no. IT's about being devoted and faithful as a Christian. It's about spreading love and joy and I though not being a Christian yet, hope to be one someday.

I guess I found the true meaning of Christmas this year and I hope that I will continue to appreciate Christmas and not always feel that there is no Christmass-y mood in Singapore.

Anyway, I'm fed up with the driving school and all the money I have to pay when I cancel a lesson, the pains of booking a lesson, renewing my membership with the school and technically, the trouble of learning driving. It's really a pain in the arse and I SERIOUSLY CANT WAIT TO FINISH AND GET THE MUTHAFKING LICENSE.

Anyway, I shouldn't be cursing on Christmas. OOPS. So, I'ma shower now! Cya all!

Cheers,
Eugene

Internship's Over!

2011-12-04T23:43:00.000+08:00

As I blog today, I am proud to announce that I have completed my Student Internship Programme. It was an enriching and rewarding 3 months that I have spent! I totally enjoyed it, had my fair share of ups and downs and technically, I had a lot of fun working.

I never thought how I could complete 3 months just like that. Initially, I was counting the days thinking I would never get through it. The first day, was painfully nerve-wrecking for me. I can still remember vividly, when I had a stomachache on my first day and was lost in Shenton Way, worrying that I would be late and then arriving perspiring from top to bottom at the office. Not off to a very good start are we. But I stuck through it, I had relaxing fridays to look forward to, I soon started counting by the weeks and telling myself to learn as much as I can, as an intern, no one really bothers how much I know and I started to relax, and appreciate school.

I didn't know how time passed so quickly, it seemed only yesterday where it was just the day before my internship launch and I was wishing it would all end already and now, I'm here writing about how I enjoyed my internship! From my first paycheck to my last day, everything happened so quickly, that I am amazed at how time flies!

After internship, what's next right? Well, it's time for me to complete this polytechnic education! To steer myself to the final lap and finish up my studies. Get the best results I can and off I go to NS. :/ Anyway! Just a short update! Cya all pretty soon!

Cheers,
Eugene

Overboard

2011-10-18T12:58:00.001+08:00

I am blogging today because I am on Medical Leave and it sucks to be here at home when I know everyone else is in office, working hard. I find that I really do regret the lifestyle that I had led ever since I became an intern. Okay, maybe being sick and all is normal but I guess I really overdid things over the past few weeks.

I went drinking almost every friday for the past 5 weeks. Yes, from a person who doesn't even touch alcohol to one that clubs, get high and even drunk all in 5 weeks seems a bit too much right? Indeed, it's rather overboard and yesterday, I was doing the sums and I realised.... I spent SO MUCH in just 5 weeks? How much did I spend on alcohol alone? 100, 200? Idk. Bt that amount is definitely of consideration and I do regret how I have been doing things. I had all the fun, all the drinking I wanted and this has got to stop. I don't mind drinking, of course, but that has to be done in moderation. twice a month? Or maybe even once a month? or once every two months? That seems perfectly fine... But to go at it every week... That is EXTREMELY wrong and I am definitely going to stop that. I believe I have to stop that... For the good of my health and for the good of my wallet! I actually went from 200++ surplus in my account to nearly BROKE this month. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT? I find it a very disgusting way of spending money and I SHALL NOT overspend again.

On another note, I really did have fun over the past 5 weeks, but it's time to snap out of it. It's doing me more harm than good! It's for the better ^^

Cheers,
Eugene

Why do you want to become a lawyer?

2011-10-10T22:05:00.000+08:00

Today, I was asked this question by a senior lawyer, "why do you want to be a lawyer?" and I totally fumbled. I could not express the right words and whatever I had in my mind just couldn't come out of my mouth. The eloquence, the glamour, the passion that lawyers have?! WHAT IS IT EXACTLY that lawyers have that makes me want to be a lawyer?

I could not answer this simple question when all this while, my path is so fixed on studying law. I never thought of studying anything else, no. All I ever thought of was- I am going to study hard, get into the uni and be a lawyer. I was so fixated on this path that I did not ever consider why I really wanted to be a lawyer or what is it that motivates me to be one.

Till now, I still cannot give the right answer even after thinking about it for a day. Am I really just doing it for myself or because of the pride it brings to my family? Of course, I can give ridiculous answers like, "it is a calling from the heart," "in my personality to defend the weak," blah blah blah but try as I might, I can't seem to search the true reason why I want to be a lawyer. The advice given to me, " A good lawyer knows what motivates him and strives to achieve that," and I found that extremely sound advice but till now, what motivates me? It must be the desire that comes from within, the true reason from the bottom of my heart and the sincerity of my answer which will truly inspire me to seek greater limits.

I will continue to ask myself, search for the true answer and I hope in 2 months time, I can tell the senior lawyer, I now know why I want to be a lawyer and hopefully, the answer that comes out is intelligent and purposeful. The answer that will be able to be my motto and last me through. I certainly took a lesson today from the informal chat session that I had. Hopefully, I will grow, mature and in future, succeed.

P/S: Yes, I'm still an intern now ;)

Cheers,
Eugene

Holidays right before I become an intern!

2011-09-12T01:30:00.000+08:00

Yes, my exams have ended about close to 2 weeks ago and I've been having a lot of fun, hanging out, watching movies, stuffing myself silly and basically, everything but stressing over school. Once in a while, I would let the fear of my exam results creep into my mind but there's really no point in worrying over something that has passed. It's either I make it or I don't and since I've already done everything that I could, I shouldn't worry anymore and leave the rest in the hands of God!

I will start interning on Wednesday and I hope everything turns out well. I've only worked once and it wasn't good at all. I'm hopping this will be a rewarding and fun experience and something that I can stay with! I hope for the best, likewise for my results and I'll try to work hard too :D

Before my holiday ends, I need to enjoy my last few moments.

Cheers all,
Eugene! :D

It's not too late

2011-08-13T15:11:00.000+08:00

This might come as a surprise that I'm actually posting an inspirational quote on my blog. Well, I'm currently not in the best of moods recently because my results aren't too good and I've been worrying myself sick for what-ifs situations. Yes, the quote might not mean anything much and in this context, rather out of point but I find that this is in fact one of the best quotes I've come across.

So yes, I dare to dream, I dare to believe the impossible and hopefully, I can achieve it. Because you never know what you're gonna get if you only just believe. :) I'm gonna work harder of course, that is without a doubt. :)

It's easy to guess my mood now of course, EMO and SAD because I'm at risk of throwing away two years of hard work just by a few factors which are undesirable but hey, I've got past that emo rite of passage because I realised that there's no point in crying over spilt milk, I can still save myself. I can still aim high and dream high because the danger is not missing it but actually hitting a really low target. So yes, I shall pick myself up, study harder, work harder, keep the faith in me and GET OVER WITH THIS SEMESTER.

I can still save myself! It's not too late! With the great rescue plan, I CAN DO IT. I know I can :) Too optimistic but come what may, I'll put in my best effort for the upcoming tests and projects. I wunt be deterred no many how screwed or FKED UP I MAY BE. Because the minute I give up, it will be the minute I FAIL. :)

Cheers,
Eugene

What I've been to lately

2011-08-04T00:03:00.000+08:00

I've been wanting to blog for ages but never really got down to it because I was either a) Too Lazy, b) Busy with school work. Yes, I wanted to rave so much about Harry Potter, whine about the tests and wax lyrical about driving. And in this update, I'm about to fulfill my long withheld desires and spill the beans :)

So yes, I've watched the final movie of Harry Potter a couple of weeks back and I've never enjoyed a Potter show so much. Ever since the Goblet of Fire, I had never really fully appreciated a Potter show. In fact, I felt that watching Harry Potter was more of a routine rather than to watch a really awesome movie. But it all changed 2 weeks ago when I watched the ending... It was EPIC. I don't usually describe movies as epic but this one really takes the cake hands down. It totally stirred childhood memories in me and brought me on one hell of an emotional ride. Summing the movie in a blog post would be a serious injustice to the movie. But I'm actually just expressing my thoughts on the movie and am actually kinda sad that Harry Potter's over. It's like the end of a bookworm generation and perhaps, my love for reading perished with the final movie. Nahh... There are still awesome books out there to be read... Just that I have not got down to it.

And right, enough about this HARRY POTTER mania. I wanna talk about tests! Yes. I have another test coming up on the 8th which totally sucks because it's one day before National Day and I'm starting to feel like it's holiday already. :S I need to pull up my socks and study hard if I want to achieve that high GPA. :)

I guess that's enough for the day... OOOH I almost forgot! Driving! Yes, it was totally awesome sitting behind the steering wheel and taking control for the first time. I seriously cannot wait for the day I get my license and be on the road, driving. This actually means I have to book the practical lessons quickly and make sure I GET MY LICENSE BEFORE YEAR END!!!!

Abrupt end. LOL

Cheers,
Eugene

A short shoutout

2011-07-25T22:44:00.001+08:00

Hey everyone! It's been really long since I've last updated and so much has happened that I'm dying to spill the beans and share with you guys!

But unfortunately, I'll be having a test tmr and still have civ pro tut to do! :( Arghh!!!! I'm putting in a lot more effort this semester but my results clearly don't seem to be reflecting my efforts! I hope I really don't screw up tmr's paper!! I have so much worries going on right now, so much pressure and so much TO DO that I have no choice but to postpone this update to another day :( AWWW. But I'll definitely update pretty soon because I'm about to burst with all that is happening around me and I'm blogging to relax for a short while before going back to the books!

Hope my arm heals pretty soon and meanwhile, hang in there everyone, let's go kick some ass for the upcoming tests and exams ^^

Cheers,
Eugene

Thinking a lot...

2011-07-11T18:10:00.000+08:00

Well, I've gotten back the results that I've been worrying about and I must say... I'M TOTALLY NOT HAPPY WITH IT. I did badly in ALL. I mean who am I kidding? I want to do well and go to King's but honestly, with such results, I'm going nowhere. :(

And looking at my current fitness level, it's another cause of worry... Will I get a napfa silver? I sure hope I don't have to serve an extra two months in the army! It's bad enough wasting two years of my life and I don't want to waste anymore time. :X I've been having little sleep ever since school started again for me. I'm coping well, I realised that one way or another, I've gotta sacrifice a little sleep if I want to get things done. Life isn't all a bed of roses unfortunately. After my wake-up call which I had with my disgusting results, I can't just sit back and do nothing. I need TO GET INTO A UNIVERSITY. Not just any other university but I hope to get into a reputable one in London! With my current results, I just need that little push and I believe I can make it I HOPE! :)

I'm sleepy and tired these days... Nothing to do with me thinking so much about my future but me doing tutorials and projects into the wee hours of the morning. Seriously, I need a really biiiiiiiiiiiig breather. Like hop onto a jet plane and relax at a beach. :S I shldn't be thinking of this BUTTTTTTTT I can't help thinking of relaxing. It's my final year... I can't give up :) I just need the final push for the next 8 months and then I'll get my final GPA which seals the fate of which university, if any that I'll attend! :)

Let's encourage each other, life's tough but when the going gets tough, the tough gets going and indeed, I'm a lot more tougher now ^^

Cheers,
We'll all make it someday if we believe it

School's Started

2011-06-28T22:55:00.000+08:00

Pretty fast isn't it? Just a post back, I was raving about the holidays and how much fun I was having and now... I'm posting about school reopening :( I'm not exactly enthusiastic about school because I'm worried for projects, test grades and the crazy number of tutorials I have to do. I must admit, year 3 is indeed tiring and to a certain extent stressful. I just gotta hope my results are great and that I actually did pretty well. :(

The holidays were amazing. In 2 words: FKING AWESOME. I had so much fun and break. More than I bargained for and I totally enjoyed it ^^ Which now explains my reluctant attitude to start school :( Projects, lack of sleep, tutorials are but many of the reasons why I wished it's the holidays all over again or maybe..... GRADUATION! WOOHOOO. I've gotta hang in there! :) I know I can... I'm worried for many things, my GPA, NAPFA, Internship.... And the list continues :S It's not a really long list actually LMAO. I must always remember my ultimate goal heh. KING'S COLLEGE LONDON! <3 I need to work really hard and achieve to enter ;)

Anyway, I'm thinking of getting Beats Replica for less than 50 bucks! I'm quite torn on whether I should take a giant leap of faith and trust replicas or just save up for ibeats or heartbeats! Bt then again, 200++ for a pair of earphones seems too much... Honestly... HAHAHHAAH :S I knw.. Just get the replicas huh LMAO. :S Anyway I'm gonna start on crim pro now T.T

Cheers to my sad life!
Oh & wish me luck for school!
Eugene =D

Why am I blogging every night?

2011-06-20T00:44:00.000+08:00

LOL. I apparently seem to be blogging more frequently. I guess it's because I'm more free and relaxed. You know, I have a knack for all things old now. Perhaps I shouldn't use the word old. Classic is definitely the more appropriate word here. I'm into classic songs and classic tv shows recently.

What's classic and what's not? I can't classify them properly but I'll just leave it at evergreen songs and tv shows. They are perhaps shows shown during our father's times but still remain popular till today. LMFAO. Perhaps it's a sign of me getting old? Nah, absolutely not. I just guess I feel at peace and relaxed with these songs playing instead of party rocking every night... Way too much action. LOL.

So yes, I bought the Lion King Musical CD today because there's an offer and I really wanted to listen to the songs. I wanna watch the musical so badly but it's so expensive and no one's keen to watch it with me :/ Ahh... It's possibly due to the high price :( DAMN.

Hmm... I actually have LOADS to talk about but I guess they're rather private and I wouldn't like to air my affairs for the world to see though it's practically only me reading my blog. LOL. As a random fact, I still miss my old house. The rambling grounds and garden :/ Totally miss it. I'm still getting used to this estate and the surroundings. Particularly getting used to the entertainment options in the East though not really much! :(( I still prefer nex and sleeping on bus 158 home after gym sessions at the club which have now become a thing of the past. :/

Hmm... All these memories.... Are still really vivid in my mind. Perhaps I'm the type that dosen't forget things easily given that I can even remember things from years back and memories built up over 14 years can't be forgotten so easily for me :/ I know it's really weird but to a certain extent, I miss my uncle who used to live with us. Hmm... I've gotten really close to him over the past few years and I would usually wait for him to come home and we'll talk to each other and I'll most likely consult him on my schoolwork and watch certain parts of the HK drama show he's currently watching and tease him cos he's so slow while I'm serials ahead. Yes, mind you, I used the word serials. LOL. Ahh... Those were memories of the past. Really really fond memories :) And then the familiar surroundings which I had for 14 years. Oh well...We should never have shifted right. WRONG. I guess once in a while people need change but I guess this change indeed takes a while to adapt :/

Hmm... How long has it been? 3 months or 4 months? :X It seemed like a really long period of time has passed but in reality, it's been 3 months or lesser since I've shifted in. LMFAO. Welll.... I guess I'm done with this reminiscence post. Damn, I just miss it toooooo much or perhaps... I get cranky at 1am... Usually LOL.

Cheers,
Eugene

I feel like just hopping into a plane and fly awayyyyyy!

2011-06-17T22:56:00.000+08:00

I'm being totally random saying this at 11pm on a friday night but what I really feel like doing now is to hop onto a plane and go for a holiday- Explore and enjoy life. I know... I've just been back from UK 2-3 months ago and yet, I'm yearning to travel again. But things like travelling where u gain so much insights and experiences can never be enough. Each travel experience is unique and it would never be the same. That I dare say.

There are so many undiscovered parts of the world that I'm dying to see. I'm really young of course and chances are aplenty but I can hardly wait to the day where I can strike the destinations off my to-do list. It's soooo tempting to just go and book a tour but hey... I have no money man. Seriously no money :X I've gotta work hard to earn my keep and travel.

Why do my hobbies have to be so costly? Why can't I enjoy something like eating and where I don't have to spend so much? Why do I enjoy photography and have to invest 2k in a camera and many more subsequent ks in buying lenses. I'm not saying I already spent 2k on a camera but I INTEND TO. LOL.

But I guess travelling and photography goes hand in hand. Come on, if you're gonna travel but not take any photos, then you're either stupid or stupid. Sorry I can't think of another alternative of people who travel without taking photos :P HEH. So yessssss.... Went to Blackberry to have my phone replaced. The resale value of my phone is soooooo low that I felt like smacking them when they told me the value. LOL.

Abrupt end

Cheers,
Eugene

I've had it with blackberry!

2011-06-16T23:51:00.001+08:00

I've had it with Blackberry! Seriously... Or maybe just Singtel. :X First of all, I had my faulty phone replaced because instead of repairing it, they gave me a new set. Of course, I was happy at that time because my phone was apparently not living the good life having a couple of scratches here and there and not exactly in mint condition but they still got me a "new" or perhaps, should I say refurbished (not sure) phone.

I was convinced it's new when they gave it to me because it looked pretty new. No kidding. It even had all the plastic covering the phone and I was ecstatic. It seemed too good to be true and indeed it was. Seriously. Just after 2 days of getting the "new" phone, I realised that there are interferences when people call me longer for around 2-3 mins. There will be a loud cackling sound and it really gets on my nerves because I can't take calls for long as calls don't normally last for only 2-3 mins.

Never mind that, I'm open to imperfections. Even if you they gave me an old set which isn't working properly, I'M OKAY WITH IT. But when I go down to get it repaired, JOLLY WELL EXPLAIN WHAT WENT WRONG TO ME MAN WTF. Seriously, I don't wanna act like some bitch who is sooo unreasonable but hey, look, when I tell u there's a problem with my phone, apart from deleting all my data and telling me some about a software malfunction shit which I can barely comprehend, can you at least reasonably let me know what's going on? Okay, if deleting my data fixes my phone, I'm more than glad to have it deleted but come on, DELETING MY DATA AND MY PHONE IS STILL NOT FUNCTIONING? What fking perverted senseless logic is this?! Honestly, and right now I'm fuming mad because I've been down not once BUT TWICE. Already, it's ridiculous that a replacement unit should not be functioning properly and IT'S MORE RIDICULOUS that I've been down to the service centre a SECOND TIME AND IT ENDS UP THE SAME.

Seriously, I've had it with them. If they can't fking pinpoint the error, fk it. I'm tired of going down and having it repaired. FOR THE LAST TIME, I think I really need to request to see a manager. SERIOUSLY. I have no desire to make a big fuss out of things and scream at people. It's absolutely redundant but what they're doing is SO RIDICULOUS THAT IT'S INEVITABLE THAT I'VE GOTTA MAKE A SCENE. Or should I just forget about it... Which comes my plan B a.k.a GET A NEW PHONE (Sneaky Smile) but that would cost money :X

Alright. Enough of ranting. I'll continue enjoying my holidays!

Cheers,
Eugene ;)

OUT OF ACTION

2011-06-10T23:48:00.000+08:00

Holidays just started say 2-3 days back and I'm already down with a cough. No it isn't those night coughs because my chest feels pain when I cough and I was down with a fever just now. However I have yet to let my folks know. I just sneaked in a couple of panadol pills into my room and if my fever acts up @ night, I'll just take it. HMM...

I hope I recover by tmr but it's rlly rlly hard I guess. Will have to be at the hospital tomorrow doing some health scan which I'm nt rlly sure of though I'm not too keen on it. It's gonna be few hundreds down the drain again. :( Sigh. Why do I have to be so problematic when it comes to health? Always sick & having so many crappy ailments. Sometimes I just wish I'm strong & robust. It's not that I don't try to. I do exercise almost every twice to thrice a week but every few weeks, I'll be down with a cough and have to spend some 50 bucks at the doctor :(

Went out with Tommy & June today. They accompanied me to Blackberry Service Centre at Somerset LOL. Thanks guys! :) It wasn't a really long wait as I had expected. Much much shorter than when I last went. Hope my phone is operating fine now. I don't wanna freaking waste my time there anymore PERIOD. -.- Went over to the IT fair & OMFG the 60D I've been eyeing costs at the very least a whooping 1.7k. Jesus. How am I ever gonna be able to afford that man. :(

Went to sushi tei for dinner afterwards and we totally binged on the food there because we were all too hungry & needless to say tired from walking round and round and round and round. :) I'm gonna rest early tonight because like I said, I have a hospital appointment tomorrow. CYA all

Cheers,
Wish me a speedy recovery. There's so much for me to do!
Eugene

When the stress levels aren't surging high! :)

2011-05-27T23:23:00.001+08:00

I have some good news today and some bad! Good news is that I got the firm that I wanted to intern at & successful at TP SELECT! It really is wonderful news for me in the middle of a terrible week with loads of project work and tests coming soon!

Of course, I never expected my shot at it. I thought that I would just try my luck with so many top students fighting to get into the top firms. So it was definitely some goodness in the week. Well the bad news is that I lost my cool :(

Someone talked bad about me and I couldn't resist typing a cheeky comment on that person's blog. I feel really bad because after all, she's a girl and I'm a guy. I should be more magnanimous and generous no? But it was that irresistible feeling of letting that person knows that HEY WATCH YOUR WORDS, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING OKAY. So yes, IF that person reads this, I do apologise if I make you unhappy in any way because that was never my intention. It's just that I feel unhappy with you pouring cold water over my happy day. Honestly.

Moving on, I've a lot of projects to be bothered with! Like Criminal Procedure and my civ pro test next week! :) AWW GOD. Save me please!

SAD FACE

Beacause I like it slack!

2011-05-12T23:39:00.000+08:00

HELLO EVERYONE,

Today's a thursday and I'm taking a break in between doing my tutorials now! I know it's gonna be 12 Midnight soon but the night isn't close to "sleeping time" yet because I still have MLCOT Tutorial to do :( I know right. I had the entire day off today because I have no classes on thursday and it's a really delicious thought when you wake up knowing that there are no classes for the day. It's almost like forbidden pleasure you know, when there is so much work to be done ;)

Yes, what did I do on my day off? Naturally, if I was still living in my old place, I would pack my bags and go off for a well deserved swim in the club but that isn't particularly necessary now with me living in a condo and having the luxury of a swimming pool right below my house. However, the winds howled all day and the rain was relentless. It didn't even give the sun the opportunity to pop out or give me an ounce of motivation to swim with any sunlight :( unfortunately. So what else can I do but to sit in my lazy chair and read a book which I've had for ages but never really got down to reading it because I've been so busy lately.

Yes, today was the epitome of relaxation. WHY? Because it's sooo relaxing to read in my room when it's all stormy and rough out there and me lying comfortably in my arm chair and flipping the pages of my book soaking in the delicious idea of relaxation. Damn, I felt so relaxed that by the time I stopped reading, it was already 6 and I gasped because I realised with a start THAT I HAVEN'T got to doing my tutorials yet. NOPE. Nt a single piece of work was done and hence, explains why I'm still here when I'm supposed to be in bed by now. :( Bt no worries because I woke up late at 11 this morning but the medicine does make me drowsy.

I'm really tired but I'm gonna finish up MLOCT before I rest for the night. CYA ALL! I'm hopping that things will go well for me this semester! Wish me luck!

Cheers,
Eugene

My thoughts on GE 2011

2011-05-08T22:44:00.002+08:00

I never expected myself to be commenting on politics. NEVER. All this while, I've taken for granted every single bit of luxury I had. The safe & sound jolly old Singapore I'm so used to, the privileges of the red passport when I travel and the PINK IC which I so proudly carry in my wallet, ready to brandish it if anyone questions my rights.

But up till recently, the General Elections drew me into this interesting and fascinating topic. I started poring over articles of the ruling party and the opposition thoughts and I gained into an insight of their thinking. I cannot help but be filled with disdain for those who are thinking like this:

1) The HDB prices & Cost of Living is too high. It's the government's fault
2) They are allowing all the foreigners to SINK our country! OPPOSITION HELPPP!
3) The government is SOOO ARROGANT.

To all these people: You've shown me how self-centered and shallow you are. I'm not supporting the government blindly. I'll give you my reasons why I support them here:

1) The cost of living & HDB prices are high. Granted that HDB Flats are for the citizens, it should be made affordable. HELLO, HDB is already the cheapest form of housing available for Singaporeans. Instead of being made to buy the land, you're getting a bargain from the government. Ask yourself, how much would a typical 3 room condominuim cost? Picture this, your HDB is sitting right next to a condominium, how much does the condo psf and your hdb psf cost? See the huge difference? What if the govt decides that HDB land is supposed to be sold out, like DBSS flats? Costing on avg 600++ psf? Would the bulk of Singaporeans be able to afford it then? I guess not. So please be fair because land in Singapore is not CHEAP. Whatever they're selling to you at a discount is their loss in revenue.

Next, the cost of living is high, YES. But please understand that you're enjoying a higher standard of living too. Are you expecting a 10K salary and things going for a dollar? You've got to be realistic. Realistic in what you can afford and live within your means. Okay so kleenex tissues costs 7 dollars, so why not change to fairprice tissues then? Seriously speaking, if you can't afford, DON'T BITE OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW. Simple as that. We have no one to blame but ourselves- for not earning the kind of money we want. Why blame it on the government when you can't afford, what are you expecting, the government to give subsidies to you?!

2) Foreigners are now SINKING OUR COUNTRY AND OVERCROWDING OUR MRTS. One word: Xenophobic. Why aren't you open to people from other countries. Do you feel that you are superior because you are a citizen here and that they have no rights to be here? How different are you from all those racist bigots overseas who want their country EXCLUSIVELY for themselves. Singapore's fertility rate is dropping, we've got an aging population which might be close to that of Japan and if we don't bring in these people fast enough, we've got to heavily tax our working class Singaporeans (who will again complain of the high taxes). Seriously, WHAT RIGHT have we to demand Singapore EXCLUSIVELY FOR OURSELVES? As citizens?! Rewind back 100 years ago, if our ancestors stepped ashore Singapore and the natives rejected them, where would that place us today? Our arrogance comes from the sufferings of our ancestors. They toiled hard to build Singapore and with that welcoming spirit of embracing foreigners and everyone alike who wanted to do their part for Singapore, or who came in search of a better life, they helped prosper Singapore to the cosmopolitan city that it is today. Isn't it ironic then that we as their descendants should grudge foreigners their right to come into Singapore when all they want is a better life?

It's an alarming rate of influx of foreigners, I agree but ask yourselves, without them, can we survive with a mere 2.3 million people? If you think we can, pat yourself on your back because I admire the zest in you.

3) Lastly, those who blame the government for everything. Let it be known to you plainly that I immensely despise your attitude. In life, if something isn't going right, don't point your finger at everyone else but yourself. It's so easy to make them your scapegoat and blame them that they're the cause of your misfortune. Take a good hard look at yourself. Ask yourself why some people can do it and why you can't. Nothing is impossible if you aspire to achieve.

Those Singaporeans barking with the word "CHANGE" on their mouths ought to examine what CHANGE are they exactly talking about. Change at the expense of the government? Who's then going to be the government? YOU? Or CHANGE FOR THE SAKE OF CHANGE?! Everyone can criticise. EVERYONE CAN SEE THE FLAWS OF THE SYSTEM but it takes one with BALLS OF STEEL to grab the wheel and do what he is actually talking about. Even our opposition knows this and says that they don't aspire to be the government. BECAUSE IT'S NOT EASY. Obama promised changes. He did some successful policy changes but some are still pending. Because see, a politician's life is never easy.

OUR Ministers apart from taking DISGUSTINGLY high salaries, have very few flaws which I can point out. There's no perfect person in this world like how the perfect men for women never exists. For every bad, see the good in it and rationale, is it worth it? Yes, our high handed ministers are arrogant. But is it worth to kick them out of parliament. A FLAT NO as seen by the majority of Singaporeans who voted when they voted the PAP back to power. Because they know, PAP are the ones most capable of running the government and have thus far, been toiling so hard and so much for the citizens.

See? If you're so anti PAP, I can guess why. A) You're so dense and distorted in your thinking. B) You're one of those losers who are stuck in a rut and your only defence is to grumble and whine.

I can understand if you don't like the PAP. Because I don't really like them either. But I'm sticking with them because you've gotta admit, they're doing their job so DARN WELL. I'm on the side of reason and fairness. I am very fair in my opinions and I support the team who is IMO, the BEST. I also judge people by the way they speak. The way you speak defines what kind of person you really are. And this explains my liking for a few opposition candidates- Nicole Seah, Sylvia Lim, Pritam Singh and immensely disliking the other opposition members.

Last but not least, I know Tin Pei Ling in parliament is a very sore point for MOST SINGAPOREANS. But I have to tell you this, you decided to give WORKER'S PARTY A CHANCE TO RUN ALJUNIED? Why? BECAUSE YOU HAVE FAITH THAT THEY WILL TURN OUT WELL. Because you have high hopes of them. Though Tin Pei Ling isn't exactly voted by you people, you have have faith in GOH CHOK TONG, our senior minister who took her into his wing. If Goh Chok Tong feels TPL is good enough, then it should be good enough for the voters who supported him. If you can give the Worker's Party a chance, why are you so unwilling to give Tin Pei Ling a chance? You didn't write off the Worker's Party as not being able to run a town council well because they haven't had a chance before, so why grudge TPL her chance? Poor girl, she bore the brunt of the voters anger of PAP.

Get this right, I said it before and I'll say it again, I'm no fan of people who don't speak well and I'm no more a fan of TPL than you are. But I find it pathetic and seriously stale that people keep saying she should be out of parliament. HER ONLY FLAW I'VE SEEN: CHILDISH AND IMMATURE. Give her time. Let her mature and 5 yrs later, decide for yourself if she really deserves to be an MP. Right now, don't be so biased in your thinking, give her a chance like how you're willing to give WP and yourselves a chance @ CHANGE.

That's all I have to say.

Cheers,
Eugene

SOMEHOW.......

2011-04-27T23:23:00.000+08:00

School's started already. And high time it started because I'm forgetting that I'm a student and living the life of a wastrel. You know, good results come at a VERY VERY HIGH PRICE and it isn't about being on MSN or anything. IT'S SHEER DETERMINATION AND HARD WORK. Something that I'm not having or displaying currently.

I'm still succumbing to temptations with the COMPUTER AS MY BIGGEST ENEMY yet, my closest friend! I need it for research but at the same time, it gets me all distracted. NOT COOL. :X I wished I can deactivate my MSN but then I'll be like WTFBBQ lonely. Okay...

I'm currently living in a hybrid zone. It's like the time change from UK to Singapore, I'm living in two different worlds and am currently living in the holiday time zone... In a way, I'm suffering from time lag because the holiday mood hasn't gone off yet. But I'm very sure, I'll soon be back in the school mood :)

Anyway, just updating after school started! WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO ADJUST BACK AND I CAN!

BYEEEE

Eugene

LAST DAY OF HOLIDAYS!

2011-04-24T23:50:00.003+08:00

Okay! So here I am with my post, LAST DAY OF HOLIDAYS!

Yes, my long holidays finally came to an end. From the very first time in March after my exams, I've been worrying continuously from my exam results which turned out to be fairly good and which I'm immensely thankful for to the worrying of my UK trip where I was afraid I would lose my passport and money bla bla to the shifting of our house.

I must say, never have I experienced so much in just ONE holiday. A trip to the UK and the shifting of house!

Really, is it just TOO MUCH to handle for one holiday? I'll say no! In fact, it's a bit disorientating but it definitely kept my holiday EXTREMELY EVENTFUL! I seriously still can't get over the fact that so much happened in just one holiday! I've learnt so much and done so much. Really, if it's anything to go by, I'll say I've grown a lot during this holiday because I DID NOT JUST learn to be independent for a few days, but I also had to be responsible for certain chores when shifting. It was tiring no less but definitely rewarding and ABSOLUTELY SATISFYING.

Today, my family and I had a wee bit more time. We, for once, finally had the time to enjoy ourselves and unwind. We've not been out for leisure ever since a few weeks ago where we were SOOOOOO tied up with the shifting of our house that we forgot what quality family time is. We dined @ LONG BEACH SEAFOOD LAST NIGHT which was satisfying and totally random for this post but I don't really care, ROFL just tryna fit the events in.

Above: My favourite bamboo clams!

So yes, we dined @ PRIMA revolving tower today because we've never been up in a revolving tower before having our lunch and it's absolutely stunning. I'm a person who appreciates views and the finer things in life and I totally loved our lunch experience because it's a novelty as my view changed everytime I looked up from my bowl! WAHAHAHA.

We then proceeded to shop @ vivo city which was technically only MY SISTER AND I SHOPPING while my parents very very patiently waited for us. Had a great time chilling out @ Toast Box before heading to our old house and we were all really really sad to see that it's unattended and practically deserted. I mean, COME ON MAN, THAT ISN'T THE WAY TO TREAT MY OLD HOUSE! How dare you *Glares @ whoever is treating it tht way* But anyway, I can't be bothered because THAT is my old house and IT ISN'T WHAT it used to be anymore. What I miss is MY OLD HOUSE AND TIMES I SPENT THERE AND not that deserted and unloved state which it's currently in now. Perhaps the new owner will come in soon to renovate but I DON'T CARE! ROFL.

Went home to play Kinect with my sis and we were all SUPERRRRRRRRRR tired after our game! KINECT IS REALLY FUN AND TIRING. My sis banged into me while we were playing n I'm now using my spare specs because my current one is out of shape! HAD PIZZA HUT FOR DINNER AND WE WATCHED THE STAR AWARDS ON TV! It was a night of celebrations and revelry :)

Why am I blogging in full about what happened today? Perhaps I just feel that it's the first in days that I had so much fun in my new house and am overcharged with positive energy with my new house! I hope my final year turns out well and fine! It's a really fantastic end to my holidays and I'm hopping I'll be overcharged with positive energy always! :)

Cheers all,
Eugene

OHHH... On a sidenote, I'm glad I experienced NEX's premiere @ 10 bucks! ROFL! I'm laughing at the ridiculously cheap price I paid for premium tickets! HAHAHAA.

ONE WEEK INTO HERE....

2011-04-24T01:48:00.000+08:00

After shifting in for 1 week, I must say, I'm adapting extremely well ;) True, life here is a bit noiser with the PIE behind me, space is a big constraint and all the crap you probably can think of of living in a condominium. But to all the negative thoughts I/We have of our new place, my alter ego's reply is, "SO?!"

Yes, I truly sincerely miss my old home and the huge space but instead of reminiscing of the past, I should be gushing about how beautiful my new place is. Firstly, I'm living in a high floor which means FRESHER AIR. YAY! Whatever air pollution will be inhaled by those living in the lower floors heh. *evil grin* Secondly, it's got a really resort like feel! Really, the first few days here felt like im living in a fking holiday resort man! HAHA. Thirdly, my standard of living has improved! Say bye to long travelling hours to swimming club to gym & swim because I have these facilities right at my doorstep and either way I see it, I'm closer to swimming club now :) Lastly, LIFE'S NEVER PERFECT!

You can't have your cake and eat it! With all the amenities to East Coast Park and Park Connectors all around, living in the East really is REFRESHING. I gave up the bustling NEX mall but I get something else in return! Proximity to East Coast Park and I'm definitely nearer to the airport now! :) After buying my new Xbox 360 yesterday (technically cos it's 1am now), I've decided to get myself a really hardy bike. No not the 1k kind of bikes but a relatively hardy one for like 200-300 bucks! :D No way am I gonna get a 1k bike and park it @ the MRT! ROFL ;)

Been swimming the past few days and unpacking and I'm really proud that I've settled in mighty quick ;) I believe in another 2-3 weeks time, I will be so familiar with my new home that I can proudly call it HOME :) School's starting soon :X Arghh! The hard work and effort I needa put in to get to King's in future! My dream hinges on this final year andddddddddddd.... I have to be really fit for the coming year because I'll be entering army soon! OH THE JOY -.-" Okay I'll end my blog post abruptly now!

Cheers,
Eugene

MOVED!

2011-04-17T00:06:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone!

I've moved to my new place. Yes I'm more or less settled and I'll be sleeping in for the second night! My new surroundings are totally different. I'm someone who is used to really big spaces back in my old house. I've got a huge room previously. Not really HUGE but definitely bigger than average. My current room is quite big but definitely not the kind of space I'm used to back in Serangoon :(

But nevertheless, I'm adapting well. But my room is almost full WTF :( It's like stuffed with all my things and more to be brought in. I've no idea how I end up with so much things! :(

But technically, the place is smaller n all but its what I now call- HOME. Yes, give me a month or so and this place will be my home and I'll be so used to it that I'll love it here, HOPEFULLY!

Lol... Okay since I've ald moved, I'll not be updating about my house anymore. Instead, I'll be updating about my UK TRAVELOGUE!!! WEEE YES! I know I promised you guys about the stonehenge and I'll see that it's done soon okay!

Cya all...

Cheers,
Eugene

Moving House Update #2

2011-04-10T23:26:00.000+08:00

Okay I lost track of the updates for my moving house. But yes, I guess it's update no. 2?! LOL. The date for shifting out is set. It's 15th April 2011. Tht's when I'll shift out of here (SRGN) to KBGN :X

I'm kinda sad because this is the last week I'll be spending here. After 13 years or so, I've grown really attached to this house. I mean it's just so familiar to me, I know the estate like the back of my hand, I even have a jogging route which I'm so used to and I know where all the good food are!!! Seriously, I'm too used to here. I feel a sort of reluctance to shift. Really. I know I have to shift but there is this lingering memory of my house deeply etched in my heart. It has such an important place in my heart BECAUSE I GREW UP HERE :X. A large part of my life was spent here and I hope that these fond memories will be carried on to our new place where we will be so happy and blessed :)

I should stop whining and look on the bright side of things shouldn't I? Xianda came over on friday to stayover and to help me pack my stuff and we stayed up till 2-3AM in the night. In my room, he kept playing national day songs which made me really nostalgic. Sorry, but I'm the extremely sentimental kind of person who loves to live in memories! LOL. Memories make who you are and what you are!

Yeap! Went over to my new place to tidy & clean it up. Spent quite a while there and I discovered my obsession in cleanliness. I seriously CANNOT tolerate dirt and stainmarks. In certain ways, I'm really particular with the way my things are. Anyway, Im gonna end here! CYA ALL

Cheers,
Eugene

UK Travelogue- Southampton

2011-04-05T00:08:00.001+08:00

Since this is the first entry of my UK travelogue, let me introduce how I would be blogging for my UK trip. I used to blog in Days for my previous travelogues but never really finished my Taiwan's travelogue because I was soooo lazy (Though Korea's Travelogue was a huge success). So this time round, I'll do away with aeroplane rides and the cock and bull story about what I did on this day, that day, I will go straight into the city I visited.

The first day was perhaps the longest day of my life. SQ 308 departed at 0905 in Singapore and arrived in London @ 1420 if I remembered correctly.( It was already 2120 in Singapore @ that time) And we didn't even see night all throughout the 13hr++ flight. It was my first long haul and perhaps one of the most torturous plane ride I've ever had though I wish I'm up in the sky now again :X

Above: Reaching Heathrow Airport... The crazy number of contrails! :)

Above: Crossing into the UK Border in London Heathrow Airport

Above: Winchester :)

So anyways, the first stop was Winchester but I'll skip that because it's merely a small town and I'll go straight to Southampton. What did I know about Southampton?! Well, perhaps only the port of Southampton from Enid Blyton's books and it was on the second day of the trip that I finally managed to have a good look @ the City of Southampton. Looks really relaxing and laid-back... Nothing like the busy streets back here in Singapore. In fact, it's a bit WAY TOO QUIET for me :X. Below are some shots I took of the University of Southampton which we visited and where we had a criminal law workshop! U'll get to see various facilities and the grounds of Southampton! Do enjoy!

Above: Southampton University

Above: We had some kind of tea reception at the University of Southampton

Above: They do have beautiful grounds to be fair :)

Above: A group shot in Southampton Uni

Above: Woomping Willow right here in Southampton :)

Above: The Student's Accomodation

Above & Below: Their well stocked library

Much as I'm really impressed and awed by the quiet of Southampton, I don't expect or see myself studying there because I don't think I would enjoy it there!

Well this practically rounds up my UK travelogue on Southampton! My next post will be on Stonehenge! So look out for that!

Cheers,
Eugene

BACK FROM UK!

2011-04-01T00:51:00.000+08:00

HELLO GUYS! Today is April 1st a.k.a April's Fool. I just returned from the UK today. I know, I was supposed to return on the 30th but there were no planes back from London so I gotta wait till last night before SQ 321 left London Heathrow and hence, I'm blogging now...

ACTUALLY NO. I was clearly kidding. I said it's April's Fool today! WAHAHHA. Just some dry humour to get things going. So firstly, Sorry, for blogging 2 days after my return. I was technically busy uploading facebook pictures and reviewing my videos, hence, the lack of time to update my blog.

So let's get started on UK! It's my first time travelling to such a far country and to a different continent. Okay I travelled to Australia once but that's when I was extremely young so it dosen't count :) This trip counts cos it's my first time to Europe :) I totally love Europe but it's so far far far and far away! I got first hand experience as to what it's like being away from home, family and all that I know of. For those who didn't know, I'll open up a bit right here. I wanna pursue a law degree in the UK. Yes, I've been thinking of it for a VERY VERY long time about studying in the UK and hence, when this study trip came, I grabbed the opportunity to visit UK and find out really, how it is being alone.

I must say, I don't take very well to the surroundings there. It's all so foreign n unfamiliar. I've been to student accommodations at the universities there and they present a very new concept to studying abroad. All this while, what I'm familiar with with travelling is luxury hotels, being pampered by hotel guests, getting my room spick n span... But over at students' accommodation, it's totally different. Forget the bell boy who expects tips, forget the SIR/MADAM when u walk in, forget the huge ass King-Sized bed in the room. it's all cut down to COSTS, COSTS & COSTS. You see, living as a student, what kind of fucking luxury are you looking at? DUDE, you're wasting a shitload of money on your education and still expect a 5 star hotel? Jesus, unless your father is some CEO who has a house for you to stay in, you've to live with the rest of the commoners a.k.a the STUDENTS.

So yes, if I want to study in the UK, it means leaving behind whatever I know, starting life on a fresh sheet of page, adapting to new buddies, people who don't LOOK/TALK/EAT like me. Being in the pampered shell of Singapore dosen't help because I'm never the international student, I've got a bunch of homies who are MY FRIENDS. We grew up together and can relate well. Over in UK, who I've got? NO ONE. Absolutely no one. But looking at the environment, the UPSIDE I can get from an education in UK is totally unthinkable.

The independence, the socialisation, the speaking, the adaptation and the assimilation are lessons I'll never learn in Singapore. When I'm put into a foreign land, I've gotta fucking live like I'm there all my life, interact with people like they're my hometownies. It's definitely enriching and will rocket my personal values and core skills to new levels I've never seen before. And of course, ultimately getting that elusive law degree.

I still have a year to work hard. Another year to think if I still wanna study in the UK. Another year to pull up my GPA to study in King's, London. That's my goal. At the end of the suffering, there must be the light- RETURN TO SINGAPORE as a lawyer!

Okay, other than some personal thoughts, I thoroughly enjoyed the UK. The 10 days totally opened me up and broadened my horizons. Each city I visited displayed immaculate style, structure and culture. Such is the marvel of the cities- Southampton, Bristol, Leicester, Stratford, Bath & London that I felt when I was there. In Singapore, we are so modern and clean, yes, totally looking like London but where is our style? What style and charm do we exude? There is so much character in London that I've never seen in any Asian City. I can't explain what kind of character it is, but it's just there. The buildings speak volumes of their history, every design is carefully integrated over the centuries. If there's one thing Singapore lacks clearly, it's style, culture and character.

I never understood how those trip reviewers wax lyrical about London, New York or Paris. I never understood what kind of damned culture they're talking about. Don't we have our Merlion and Char Kway Teow? (Speaking of which, I'm craving for Char Kway Teow :X)... SO yes, It was only in London that I finally understood what they meant. About the style that London has. It just has it, of course, carefully built up over the centuries as the main hub of Europe.

I do love London but guess what, whilst London is indeed AMAZING. Singapore is QUIETLY AMAZING in her own way. She is after all, HOME. And HOME is where your heart is (MINE for that matter) and it's where I truly belong. So, I'm totally glad to be home, in small sunny old Singapore where we know, she's always there to welcome you back once you've suffered the hardships outside.

I'll update about the trip in parts and pieces, nothing like my previous travel diaries. The format will definitely be different. So watch out for updates. Hope you like my reflection of the trip ;)

Cheers,
Eugene

Pre Departure to UK

2011-03-20T23:32:00.000+08:00

I've not really talked much about my trip to UK because firstly, I'll be going with my school and secondly, it's a totally new thing for me travelling without my parents. Yeah, I know, 19 and still travelling with my parents... But HEY! Come on man, there's always a first for everyone and this is my first time travelling with my school :)

I'm kinda worried because for once, I'm in charge of my passport and the money! :X Guess it's time to be independent. Omg... I'm so excited but also filled with apprehension man :( JESUS... I hope it will be a really fun and enjoyable trip! WAKAKAKA :)

Anyway, will be gone till the 30th but I'll try to be on MSN when there is WIFI and all. Will have to be @ airport tmr by 7am! LOL. Hope there's time for me to spot @ T3 before departure to London :) HAHA. Past few days have been hectic and my mind is in a blur right now!

So yes, hopefully dad fetches me to airport tmr and I think he will... Gotta go do the last of packing before I go to bed! WEEE!

BYE GUYS! Wish me a safe trip baby :)

Cheers,
Eugene

It's all worth it :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

2011-03-18T00:12:00.000+08:00

2 sleepless nights and constant worries- That's a major part of my life for the past few days... All I was thinking of was," WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL THE EXAMS?!" I was such a pessimist for the past few days and worrying myself unnecessarily... HOWEVER, today, I'm lighthearted as I bring you the news- I LIVED UP TO EXPECTATIONS BABY! I did what I have to do and achieved what I set myself out to do. For this semester, I can say to myself, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, have a great holiday and enjoy the trip to UK. Really, let my hair down and have fun like there's no tmr because next semester, I've set even HIGHER GOALS. And why not right? After all, the sky's the limit XD

Still feeling rather sore about the exchange rate! For once, I'm hopping that the Sing dollar will appreciate to be on par with the USD. ROFL :) Then I'll have way more money to spend :D HEHE. Whilst I'm in such high spirits, it saddens me to think of the people of Japan suffering. :X It's really tragic and sad for them. The past few days, I've been reading up on Japan, trying to keep track with what's going on and hopefully, seeing the headlines, "NUCLEAR CRISIS SOLVED..." I wish that day will come and then, there's cause for cheer! :)

BTW.... My dad still refuses to send me to the airport on Monday! I've been persuading him since my flight times to London have been confirmed... But I hope he changes his mind on Monday morning! HAHAHAHA! Anyway, guess I'll end here!

Just wanted to fill you in with my joy! It was definitely worth it when I received the SMS frm my dad, "WELL DONE." The joy that flowed through me when I received the SMS was inordinate. I could totally feel his pride :) ON TOP OF IT ALL- MY ULTIMATE GOAL- MANCHESTER UNI LAW! :) <3

Okay this post is really messy but who really cares right? Everyone loves good news

Cheers,
Eugene

Laugh through it all....

2011-03-11T14:05:00.000+08:00

HELLO EVERYONE!

I spent the previous half hour or reading my archives and it really cracked me up. I looked at the way I wrote say 3 years back and I couldn't believe that I actually wrote like that. LOL. With all the Singlish expressions peppered in my blog entries, it does look immature and childish! But then again, I'm thankful for the past... I'm glad I changed my writing style too. If I was still writing like that, I guess I will have to bury my head in the sand!

Anyway, I've passed my BTT!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHH BABY! I was extremely pleased and surprised to pass it because I didn't actually study but THANK YOU GOD, u helped me through this :) You really did :) The only thing worrying me now is my exam results and I REALLY HOPE that I get the GPA that I want so damn badly! LOL. XD

Will be heading out to the IT fair later to meet June and Andre... :) Was out with R yesterday. We watched Big Mommas. A hilarious comedy ;) OOKAY! Will end here now.

Cya all

Cheers,
Eugene

The holidays so far...

2011-03-09T23:32:00.000+08:00

Hi Everyone! Feeling extremely high because I'm listening to J Lo's on the floor. It's such a catchy tune that I'm falling in love with it :) HAHA. Anyway, I'm here for a short update... My cough seems to be recovering albeit a really slow recovery. Hope that I'll fully recover by fri so I can go for my 5KM run. I've been laying off running for close to 2 weeks so I don't expect much from my run when I'm back on the track . But hopefully, it isn't such a drastic deprovement.

Been out the past few days hitting the gym, watching movies and hanging around town. Will be out again tomorrow and I hope everything goes well and fine :D Now that the songs have stopped playing, I'm out of creative brain juices. In fact, there's nothing much for me to blog I guess... :X Well CYA ARND guys :D

Cheers,
Eugene

What I've Been Up To....

2011-03-07T00:22:00.000+08:00

Well, I staged a disappearing act recently and am back in the blogging limelight now. Okay, not the limelight but technically, I'm here on blogger again to bring you all the good news- EXAMS ARE OVER....

They are way over but I only have the time to squeeze in an update now. Been sick but out for the past few days ever since exams ended. This holiday will be extra special for me because firstly, I will be going with my school to UK if everything goes as planned *HOPEFULLY* and secondly, I'll be shifting house.

You guys know all about me shifting house. It's splattered over my blogger's headlines. HAHA. It's like the BIG thing of 2011 for me... So yes, been to my new place today and it's under massive renovation. Hope to see the final product soon! :D HAHA.

I can't say how much I'll miss my current house but you all get the idea after countless entries of me whining about how much I'll miss here. TODAY, I'll RAVE about how smexy my new place is. First of all, I've been living in a terrace house all this while. Yes, from the age of 5 till now, I've been living in this house. Memories of my baby-toddler days in my HDB flat are totally fuzzy. In fact, I can't rmb nuts about living in my old HDB flat. But if you ask me, all I can remember is me being bullied by my neighbours and THINKING BYE MUTHA FKERS_|_ when I shifted here. Okay I wasn't that vulgar yet but I was definitely happy to shift here. WHYYYY? Obviously, because this terrace house has 3 floors and I used to love climbing up and down the stairs, scaring myself that ghosts are hiding in the rooms and slide down the banister of the staircase. But this time round, I'll be shifting to a condo. I've never lived in a condo before and I don't know what it's like to have a swimming pool downstairs. Never had it but am going to experience it soon :D. Well see, each time I need to swim, I have to travel for 45 mins to my club to exercise.

It definitely means saving a lot of time and effort to exercise with these facilities right at my doorstep. Secondly, I will have to start taking a lift to my house. I'm kinda weird but fanciful lift lobbies do appeal to me. They have the "HOTEL" charm tagged to it and though my condo's lift lobby ain't anything like a 6 star hotel, it does have a certain style about it which I do like. Thirdly, I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR MY GUESTS!!!! YESSS! In my swimming club, each guest is charged 5 bucks per entry!!! Zzzzzz!! Bt soon, I can invite my friends over for a swim for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

So yes... of cos, the flipside of having my land (where my block is sitting) shared by many many people and a lot more crap about downsizing to a condo but honestly, I don't find it REALLY hard to adapt. I mean I'm actually in between shifting house. Excited about my new place but definitely missing the size and exclusivity of this house :(

Right... anyway, will focus on recovering from my flu and cough so I can HIT THE GYM BABYYYYYYY! Cya all

Cheers,
Eugene

I WANNA UPDATE WHEN THE STRESS LEVEL ISN'T SO CRAZILY HIGH!!!!

2011-02-25T00:35:00.000+08:00

HIIII EVERYONE!

Ignore the caps because I'm feeling kinda cranky right now :( Guess the exams must have gotten to my head. So far, my coursework grades are neither here nor there. Some good, some average and one REALLY REALLY BAD. Guess which is the coursework grade that suck ballzzzzzzz? LOLOL... It's none other than my beloved COMPANY LAW... Damn... And tht coursework grade carries like 70%? FML.

So yes, I've been pushing myself hard this time round because I know I can achieve with pure hard work! Come on, just a few more days and everything will be over! I can go back to my lazy life watching dramas and hitting the gym every other day! But first........ I need to get pass my exams! :(

Okay... I'm off to sleep now. Don't ask me why this update is so short... it's just to update in the middle of the night when I'm feeling weird, and in the mood for typing....... CYA ALLL

Moving House Update #1- The Study

2011-02-13T23:23:00.000+08:00

I said I'll update this blog as we go along. And today, we did the first packing. Yes, it's really early because we'll be shifting only in April but we started with the first of packing- books. My books go by the tens and we have many stocked up in our study. I used to pretend that those books were part of my personal library and I would scribble on the books " LIBRARY, CHILDREN'S BOOKS..." LMAO. I was that childish. Looking back at the books stored in the cupboards, I would say they go back to when we first shifted in. I remembered those books where my maid used to teach me from. Those encyclopedias with missing pictures which I cut out for school projects and my crazily large amount of Pokemon books.

I was definitely a "books" person when I was younger. Loved reading. And when I had to give away those books today, I felt kinda detached. As in a certain part of me was parting but then again, these are books which have to be thrown out. I won't ever be reading these again and they would do better with someone else who will make full use of it! :) I am a very sentimental person and I guess the serious packing will start in March but if I slowly clear my things and bring over to my new place, it wouldn't be such a mad rush when the actually moving out day comes! HAHA. :)

Anyways, exams are coming... Gotta devote a huge part of my time to studies before I can update again! In the meantime, have fun guys!

Cheers,
Eugene

WHY MONDAY BLUES HIT ME SO HARD!

2011-02-06T22:48:00.000+08:00

Arghh, the CNY holiday is over! This week passed in a flash! It was so fast that I could barely grasp what's actually happening. It seemed only yesterday when it was New Year's eve and I was out with my family renting DVD to watch over the CNY! Today, I just returned those DVDs I rented to the video shop. 4 days passed so soon that I am actually amazed.

1/2/11

EVE's EVE. New Year's Eve eve. Right after OB, I went to the gym for a quick workout before heading off to meet Daren to buy new shoes and have a pampering dinner! Dinner-ed @ Sakae. They were actually having their dinner buffet there and it was FANTABULOUS (MARK LEE'S PHRASE). LOL. Yeah. Went over to Fred Perry to buy my shoes and walked around 313 Somerset! It was great catching up with him.

2/2/11

NEW YEAR'S EVE! It's always the eve of a holiday that takes your breath away! It's the best period of a holiday because there is the delicious thought of having the actual day in store. We lunched @ Crystal Jade, Junction 8 and did some errands like getting food for my grandma and all. Went over to Hougang Mall to rent DVDs and the excitement was clearly in the air. Everyone was packing up, getting ready for the reunion dinner at home and the apparent long break till Sunday. Yeaps. We went home after running around the entire day to get ready for OUR reunion dinner! It was absolutely delicious because it was prepared by my beloved grandma and I loved every minute of it. After dinner, we went to Airport Swensen's for our desert and drove down to Starville afterward to look at our new place! Reached home pretty late but just in time for NEW YEAR's COUNTDOWN. Okay, I'm a traditional chinese, I admit. LOL. Yeaps. Watched Sorcerer's Stone after the countdown and I must say, NEW YEAR'S EVE was so fantastic that I wished it happened all over again! LOL.

3/2/11

NEW YEAR'S DAY! I believed I had it all blogged! I watched Homecoming on New Year's! It was really funnyyyyyyyy!

4/2/11
Day 2 of New Year! Otherwise marred by an incident, it's splendid! Had dinner @ Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar before heading to Kallang to watch I LOVE HONG KONG! Another movie which had me in stitches! Just can't forget the hilarity of the movie and I loved it!

5/2/11

Day 3 of New Year! Nothing much actually happened. Went to the Gym before watching Green Hornet with my family! It was yet another comedy when I thought it to be really stupid or an absolute waste of my time! HAHA. :)

6/2/11

Day 4 of New Year! We went round searching for inspiration to do up our new place! It was a really great day too & I gotta prepare for sch tmr which sucks and that's the reason why I'm ending this blog entry!

ROFL! 2011 WILL be a very eventful year for me as you all know because I'm shifting house and all. Along the way, I will update you guys and hopefully, everything goes smoothly k? HAHA.

Cheers,
Eugene

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

2011-02-03T23:26:00.000+08:00

Time flies, doesn't it? Seems like it was just yesterday when we had our last Chinese New Year and every year, it's the same old thing which happens. Relatives coming over to visit my grandma, us leaving to visit my maternal grandma and ending the day with a movie. It's been like that for years if my memory serves. I'm really grateful that each year, my family is together, healthy and happy :) Nothing is more important than that. And each year, I give thanks to the Lord and ask Him to continue blessing my family and everyone else. I'm not officially a catholic but I do pray every night to give thanks. :)

So yes, traditions never change do they. HAHA! I watched that in Homecoming today, a Jack Neo film and yes, my family's tradition never changes! We always go to the airport for ice-cream on the eve, have a steamboat meal on the first day and well... Tomorrow's the second day! HAHA. We'll be going to the temple to pray to my maternal grandpa and I guess another movie? CNY isn't rlly the time to do anything special because apparently, most places are closed and you're lucky if you even manage to find a jolly decent entertainment outside. :)

SO CHEERS TO EVERYONE! HAPPY NEW YEAR! GONG XI FA CAI!

I'm really tired. Will update properly when the brain juices are flowing :D

Cheers,
Eugene

When the dust settles

2011-01-27T23:10:00.000+08:00

The last time I blogged, I was full of uncertainties and apprehension because of my moving house. But today, I'm light-hearted as I bring you the news- We've found our new place. A place which we can call home. It's somewhere in the East and I'm like leaving behind all my friends in the North-East! Daren, Gek Soong, Matthew & Roy :( It's pretty sad because I'm so used to Serangoon where I've been walking around the estate for 13 years and that my friends are either 1 or 2 stops away. With the new NEX mall, it makes moving even harder for me because I have come to love my house and the central location that I am in.

Anyways, I will start packing after CNY. Slowly put all my personal effects into the carton boxes and what's left will be memories of this house. I will grasp every moment, every minute in this house. I will compile a video for my family and do up a collage to put it up at my new place. My new place is no doubt trendy and way more posh than this house, but after 13 years over here, can I say I miss this place a lot? I grew up in the grounds of this house. It was here when I learned to ride my first bicycle, it was here where I did my many FIRST. I cannot help but feel nostalgic and sentimental when I think of this place. If given a chance, I would like to keep it for preservation but guess what? I don't have that kind of money -.-" And when the new owner comes in, the first thing he'll do is renovate this place to his liking and it will not be the house which I used to know. It would be given a fresh coat of paint, looking inviting and appealing to the new owner but completely ruined whatever sentimental value left of my childhood in this house.

As I spent my childhood/teenage years in this house, I will, hopefully be spending a large part of my teenage/adult years in my new place and I hope it will bring me as much fond memories as it did for this house. You know, you get so emotionally attached to an object that you never want to forget it but change is inevitable. I knew that one day or another, I will have to shift out and that day has arrived sooner than later.

On the upside, the East looks refreshing and promising for me. My cousin lives in the East, Xianda lives in the East, I will be in close proximity to East Coast Park and CHANGI AIRPORT!!! YAY. Change is good... But memories which are fond will always be remembered and kept. I will keep the pictures which I am taking in the next 2-3 months before completion close and dear to me so that when I am 80 and greying, I can tell my grandchildren, this is where I grew up. :) Sounds superb aye? HAHA.

Anyway, my new maid is finally here. YAY! All the household chores are gladly handed over to her! :) I'm really looking forward to CNY without my new clothes T.T. I have to pop by ION tmr or something to pick up a few clothes for the new year :) HAHA.

Cheers,
Eugene

A New Beginning?

2011-01-15T00:50:00.001+08:00

Well, the start of 2011 does bring about lots of new uncertainties. I will be shifting house on the 24th or 18th of April! Oh god, I can't rmb the date but I'm sure it's either the 24th or 18th! After living here for 13 years, I'm quite reluctant to shift because I partly don't know where I am moving to except that we need to put up at some temporary place till we find a permanent house.

OK... Don't freak out for me or anything, I'm moving house but we have no exact location to go to yet because we are still hunting for a house so we'll most prolly rent a place for the next few months. This is the first time such a thing actually happened to me?! WTF. I only moved once in my life and that was to our current house but guess what, that was when I was 5 and I had absolutely no recollection of how moving was like. As I look at my scores and scores of personal belongings, I start to wonder, how am I ever gonna pack them in and bring those stuff over to my new place(s)? HAA. The amount of textbooks I have are like 12567123623626 KG without the junk that I keep in my study! HAHA. :X Sucks right?

So yes, other than the MOST EVENTFUL thing of my life this week, nothing much happened. I repaired my lappy, HOORAY and all to that :D Yeah, I guess things are pretty bad cos projects are due in like 1 or 2 weeks and I'm really really really sick of it.... I mean it! HAHA. Just can't wait to finish things up! =D

Guess I'll end here. TIRED!

Cheers,
Eugene

What better way to start a new year

2011-01-04T18:10:00.000+08:00

So this is technically my FIRST POST for the new year and what have I been up to right after I blogged 2010 IN WORDS?

Well, I went down to watch the countdown and it was a fantastic show anytime :) The fireworks display that night were way grander than those few little minutes in the past... Something which I appreciate a lot :) WELL... On New Year's Day I had dinner w my dad @ Goodwood Park Hotel while my mum was at a wedding dinner. I didn't do much in the day... Was actually supposed to go to the gym but got BLOODY lazy :X Yeah, I'm a boring person, TO YOU. Rofl... Actually there's so much crap I wish to talk about but I don't think I should spill the beans because a blog is after all, A BLOG. I mean what good does it do to reveal everything about yourself to random strangers who might be reading it :) AHAHA.

YES.... Well, my schoolwork isn't up to expectations recently... pretty disappointing, gotta put in way more effort than what I'm currently doing :X My laptop charger is spoilt and hopefully it's JUST THE CHARGER and not anything major.. Come on, my laptop is just 1 1/2 years old... I don't think I will get any fancy gadgets right now because I'm heading into the army pretty soon so... LAPTOP PLEASE DON'T DIE ON ME YOU BITCH :( HAHAHAH! Rightttt.... My maid's gone and the replacement is arriving only in 2 weeks time :( Soooooo for 2 weeks, I've gotta do some housework and it wouldn't kill me to figure how to wash pans and iron my clothes... Come to think of it, I'm like a big kid who can't even cook. ROFL :X Nvm, these 2 weeks shall be termed as "experiential learning week!" Hope everything's fine eh :)

So yes, I will be registering for my driving lessons tmr I guess and in spite of everyone looking down on automatic male drivers, here's to you all, I DON'T GIVE A FLYING F*CK as to whether or not you discriminate me.. Because I'll take up what best suits my needs and not what best suits the SOCIETIES NORMS. I'm not by any chance one who stick to the norms. I'm a maverick :) Or a better way of saying I am lazy :) HEHEHE

OK LAPPY BATT IS DOWN DOWN DOWN!!! Cya all guys :)

Cheers,
Eugene

2010 in words.........

2010-12-31T23:00:00.000+08:00

2010 is about to be over.... In just a few minutes, it'll be 2011 and whatever happened this year will be nothing but the past which will go down in history... OR NOT.

LOL.... But right before 2010 is over, I would like to grab this opportunity to say my last few words in the year. These words will only be mentioned once and ONCE only so read carefully for what I am about to say!! Kidding.. LOL.

IN WORDS: 2010 is/WAS a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many things happened that I am not sure where to begin with.

1) TAIWAN HOLIDAY
Oh the joy of travelling and packing my bags to experience the world

2) YOG LIVE CLOSING CEREMONY
How often do YOU get to go to such an amazing event in your home country? I would say ONCE! ROFL

3) ATHENA IN SINGAPORE
My dear friend coming all the way to visit our sunny island

&& So many other things which I wish to list out but am unable to because IM LAZY. WAHAHAHAHA. As to matters of the heart, I've been single this whole year, something which many might find pathetic because I'm might be so lonely, but well, I enjoyed my year all the same and if not, I enjoyed it more. Being single does have it's perks and no, I'm not saying this because I'm jealous of all the lovey-dovey couples because I sincerely feel that way. I'll give credit where it is due and I do miss having a partner but I also do NOT miss the freedom of a single person which I am enjoying so much now. I'll gladly trade it for a perfect partner if she comes along and when she does, hopefully in 2011, I'll be able to handle it :D HAHA.

2011 seems rocky because IM ROYALLY SCREWED w a whole mountain load of work UNDONE. But nevertheless, I have really high hopes for myself next year... I WANT.....................

1) A fantastic GPA
2) To run my 2.4KM in less than 10 minutes
3) To run my first marathon
4) More hang-outs with my cousins
5) TO SAVE FOR A HOLIDAY W MY FRIENDS
6) TO VISIT A FARAWAY COUNTRYYYYYYYYY

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

OOOH and I forgot to add, A DRIVING LICENSE!! Did I mention that I'm thinking of taking up driving lessons? I hope to get my license soon so I can drive =D YAYYYYY!

Well..... I'm leaving my troubles and worries behind.... With 2011 in an hour's time, it'll do good for me to watch the countdown and get into the NEW YEAR mood.

FAREWELL 2010. It was a FANTASTIC YEAR with so many ups and downs, but I never regretted living any moment in it. Each and every moment is sincerely cherished and I wanna say, LIFE ROCKS... albeit school and all the arguments, LIFE is GREAT.

May God bless each and everyone of you guys in the coming year of 2011.

Cheers,
Eugene

Christmas Time

2010-12-26T22:58:00.000+08:00

Christmas is over... Technically it's not, but for the non-Christians/ Catholics, it's over. Today's Boxing day... I know, I should have blogged on Christmas Eve and not on Boxing Day right... But point is, I've been trying to get myself into the Christmas mood over the weekend since Christmas Eve that I did not have time to blog.

I finally got my new shoes, that's one item struck off the Christmas Wishlist. As for the Xbox, I think I'm not gonna bother bout it because I am plainly not going to have time to play such games. What a pity eh :( I went to wild wild wet with my cuzzies on the 23rd. I know, Wild Wild wet is like the ultimate child's theme park.... But, we couldn't get tickets to USS because they're fully booked till next year WTF. AHHA. Not that I'm dying to get back in there but it's the ONLY and perhaps ONE fun place in Singapore. Okay I'm exaggerating but then, I've practically been to all the tourist attractions here AGAIN. Which basically means, Singapore is boring now. PERIOD. Don't get me wrong.. I'm not the ungrateful type who bashes about Singapore and whine all day long about how the grass is greener on the other side (Maybe USA/Europe...). It's just that I'm getting bored of late because I don't have anywhere fun to go and.... each time the word "FUN" is mentioned, another 50 bucks is gone from my wallet :(

HAHA! Right, we watched Gulliver's Travels and had fun @ Wild Wild Wet... It was really fun... And I meant it... Because I was really relaxed and happy. We were supposed to go for a short getaway during the New Year's but there was a clash of plans at home so I'll be in good old Singapore till school reopens. You know, when you're bored of what home has to offer, you'll go out n seek greater pleasures and this is not just confined to Singapore... In fact, now that I'm 18, I feel like packing my bags and travel round the world! WOAHHH! Omg... That's crazy but I still have a long way more to go :) HEHE. So nope, I won't be travelling round the world because I have no $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :(

Right... What in the world am I on about, I'm supposed to be raving about Christmas.. I do get distracted VERY EASILY. Well, Christmas day was spectacular because it was the first time that all 5 cousins sat down and played Monopoly Deal. I know, Monopoly Deal sounds seemingly moronic to play on Christmas but it was a great bonding session. Haven't had such great fun ever since we were................ IDK. Rlly, it has never happened or happened way back that I can't even rmb the last time all 5 of us sat tgt and played games! ROFL! The adults were drinking red wine till 12 midnight and we "children," were playing card games.... It was perfect. Both the mood and the occasion were!

Christmas had never been so fun for me... It was just another occasion in the past where we had a decent meal @ some restaurant but this year's Christmas was special because it fell on a Saturday and there was actually something fun to do @ a party... =D

MERRY BELATED XMAS EVERYONE!!!

Hope you guys had so much fun toooooooooooooooo =D

Cheers,
Eugene :D

What I've been up to....

2010-12-19T23:46:00.001+08:00

Well it seems like I have vanished from my blog recently... But not until my Birthday Post where I made a comeback. As I have the time to spare tonight, I will be blogging about what I've been up to recently...

Not long before my 'disappearing act,' I distinctly remembered (if my memory doesn't fail me) mentioning that I had mid sem tests. Well, today I'm proud to announce/declare/make it official that those tests are over and right now, what matters to me most are my 2 weeks Christmas & New Year's Break. 2 weeks might not seem a lot, but to me, it's definitely a short escapade from school life- a break which I have come to worship!

Papers ended on thurs and I went for a charity movie with my cousins @ Cathay. We watched Tron Legacy and a seemingly stupid show actually captivated me. In fact, I think I rank it in the same band as HARRY POTTER! LOL. They slept over at my place for 2 nights and we had a fking load of fun. I totally had a blast and though we had a few quarrels, it was all cool. :)

My christmas wishlist are as follows:
1) Xbox 360 w Kinect
2) Nike Lunar Eclipse Shoes

!!!! OMG!!! I'm really close to getting my shoes...As for the Xbox, well, I have to see if my sis would like to pool in some money tgt with me =D Anyway, will be going for a run @ the stadium tmr. My running timings are actually quite shitty over the past week... I really hope that it's an upward trend from now on! HAHA =D

Bought my new phone todayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! The queue at Singtel was ridiculously long and I had to actually wat for 2.5hrs before it was my turn! My jaw formed a big O when the service counter told me that I had to wait for 2 hrs before it was my turn. So I actually toured the whole Parkway today -.-"

Well, that's practically my yearly newsletter (nah, just a joke)

P/S: I'm so looking forward to Christmas & New Year, perhaps, it's time for my digital camera to make it's appearance! It's been in cold storage ever since I'm back from Taiwan! OMG.

Cheersm
Eugene

Birthday

2010-12-11T23:59:00.033+08:00

10/11/2010

It was the last day of school right before Mid Sems and I rushed off after Conveyancing Lecture. When my teacher said, "That's all for today," a smile soon crossed my face and I packed my bags and ran off. WHY was I in such a rush? Easy!! I'm celebrating my birthday with my best friend! HAHA. Went to City Hall for a quick lunch @ Shokudo! It was satisfying because I was craving for the waffle ice-cream and I had it! FANTASTIC =D Wanted to swim but the clouds were overcast and I guessed it's a hint that I should watch NARNIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA instead! wahahaha! Played an hour of pool @ Marina Square and I gotta say this, "IT'S FKING EXPENSIVE TO PLAY POOL @ Public areas..." And the ambience definitely dosen't do justice to the hefty price tag that we have to fork out... But still, I shouldn't be worrying about money on a special day like this! Played @ the arcade before Narnia started. Narnia was............. NOT as exciting as I had expected it to be... ARGHH! But still, it was nice all the same.

After Narnia, came the highlight of the celebration!! A visit to the NIGHT SAFARI! On other occasions, I would grudge the money that I would have to spend because spending 32 dollars in one night is not the norm. But for just for this day, I didn't feel the pinch @ all when I paid for the entrance fee and tram. I must say, it was totally worth it. It was my first time there (Not really first but I can't remember my first... ROFL) and as usual I was all jittery about animals in such close proximity to me. Had a quick dinner @ the safari and boy, the food prices there were exorbitant! I mean for that kind of price, I could feast on a pasta @ waraku or a really sumptuous meal at Marche. In the end, I just ate a kid's pasta and was terribly hungry till 2am that my sister had to cook instant noodles for me. (No, we wanted to eat it together, I did not force her to cook it for me :P) HAHA.

11/12/2010

YAY!!! It's my birthday and I went to the GYM o.0 Sounds pathetic dosen't it? HAHA. Gym-ing on my birthday but actually, I wanted to work off those extra calories I consumed the day before and I achieved new milestones for my running! Was mighty pleased with my performance. Mel came over to the club after I gym-ed and we had lunch @ the clubhouse as usual. Had a game of pool and in my 125326217 years (exaggeration) of playing pool, it was actually the first time I managed to win him with skills! LOL. Guess birthday boys get all the luck huh! ROFL! =D

Went back to get ready for my birthday dinner at night. (Sorry guys, I wanted to upload pictures but my sis took the photos and she is away @ a chalet and won't be back soon... But I think they'll be up on facebook!! LOL.) Dinner was at Carlton Hotel with my family and I had a lot of fun. Great food and great company= PERFECT celebration. I would also like to thank all who called, SMS-ed and wished me happy birthday. My 18th Birthday was special because of you guys :)

Well I guess that's it, this post is about my Birthday Celebrations and I'll leave it at there. Will update again pretty soon!

Cheers,
Eugene

Extreme Fatigue....... Another day please.

2010-11-28T01:11:00.000+08:00

Hey everyone! I haven't updated for years (a lil exaggeration on my part...) HAHA. And I'm here to update lest my blog goes dead like how it has always been ever since I started Poly! Well, I recently blogged and raved about how kind life WAS to me. Notice I used the past tense because the school mood is really starting to kick in and it's not a light kick, I'm sure. It's a real hard kick and jolt to me because I'm always slacking.

I have OB progress report due on Tues, Public Speaking SOS speech on thurs and Company Law essay on Friday... Tell me about a packed schedule... Oh and have I mentioned that tests are 2 weeks later? My birthday this year, unfortunately falls before my tests! Arghhh! I'll most prolly not even bother celebrating my bday I suppose. Just have a simple dinner to make up for it after my tests. I don't exactly see what the fuss is bday celebrations all about. ROFL! I used to make such a big fuss if I don't have a proper celebration but ever since I had a surgical operation and totally skipped ONE bday celebration, I kinda find that birthday celebrations lack a certain appeal to me from then on. I mean bdays are once a year.. True that but if I don't celebrate it, it doesn't really matter does it because as long as I remember my bday, it doesn't really matter if I celebrate or not because I am busy! HAHA. :) Oh and birthday celebrations cost a lot! I'm assuming it goes by the hundreds and never the tens. LOL! :(

Well, I'm hopping this week will end without any incidents. I wanna excel in schoolwork that's for sure and pray that I'll do well folks! :) HAA. Right I have so many things to say.. For example,me visiting the church for the first time but all but we'll do that in another blog entry when it's at a more humane time :) Cya all

Cheers,

HARRY POTTER.... IN GOLD CLASS??

2010-11-17T00:59:00.000+08:00

Well...... I've recently been toying with the idea of watching a movie in gold class. It's been a long time since I last stepped into the luxurious lounge at Vivocity. It was a really great experience, pampering of course but totally not worth the money. It doesn't make sense to pay 30 bucks for a movie all the time. Since the last time I stepped into gold class was like 2-3 yrs? I guess it's time for me to watch a movie in gold class and Harry Potter no less!! I mean Harry Potter is like my favourite of all the movies I've watched. Be it a good or bad harry potter movie, I will still watch it nonetheless because it's HARRY POTTER and I feel that splurging on Harry Potter is money well spent!!!

Yes, So should I watch Harry Potter in gold class this coming fri? It seems so tempting! But that means I've to cut back on my spending at Marche and the like of it :( HAHAH. I just checked and the ticket price is now 36 bucks! WTF?! Really expensive ya knw! I can spam bread & butter pudding @ Marche ya know? LOL. Gosh... I miss the bread & butter pudding!!! HAHAHA. The one @ MBS was great too but I don't foresee myself going back there in another 1216725325762 years unless someone brings me there again! HAHA.

Bread & butter pudding is my new favourite desert! OMG... That's totally random and unrelated to Harry Potter but................... YEAH! HAHA. I just can't resist good food. Committed a grave sin of eating curry chicken yesterday! 700 calories consumed in one afternoon! Wtfffffffffffffff. I need to run like 20Km @ the gym to burn off the curry chicken! Zzzz :( Nvm... HAHA. It's alright to indulge once in a while. I don't believe in cutting down on such sinful pleasures. What's life if you don't enjoy it right? HAHA!

Okayyyyyyyyyyy..... I guess I'll end it here. Cya guys!

Cheers,
Eugene

When Life Has Been Kind...

2010-11-14T22:15:00.001+08:00

Life has been going great for me. So far, I'm really pleased and satisfied with the way I'm living my life :) Watching fireworks at universal studios, dining out on thursdays because I have a ridiculously long break and having a new bed! WEEE! :) I feel really blessed and great :)

Just got back from a buffet lunch @ MBS and a movie with my cousins. Had a fantastic time today :) Unfortunately, they're in a holiday mood while I'm thinking about... CONVEYANCING LAB TMR :) OH GREAT... LOL. I hate how my holidays never coincide with theirs anymore ever since I started poly... This means that when they're in a great mood, I'm in a studying mood. When I'm in a holiday mood, they're busy with their school work :(

Right. I haven't been blogging for really long because I am basically lazy to blog unless something special happens or when I feel like I really NEED to blog. :) There are many things that I would like to express over here but wouldn't do so because this blog isn't really PRIVATE you know. Not exactly my kind of personal diary where I would vent all my frustrations on. Anyway, I wanna change my handphone! I've ruled out Iphone 4 because practically everyone has it. Don't get me wrong... It's a great phone alright, it's just that I don't wanna be part of the crowd :) I am looking at the Blackberry torch/Galaxy S/ Windows Phone 7.... Anyone has any suggestions? For each model, I have my reservations. Like the blackberry, it definitely fits the bill of a classy look but how are the blackberry apps like? I mean I don't want a phone which charms on the outside but sucks on the inside.

For Galaxy S and Windows Phone 7, I do find these 2 phones really practical but then.... It still dosen't beat the blackberry in terms of looks. I'm having a dilemma right now. Actually make it a trilemma(Is there such a word? I made this up.) Because I have to choose between 3 choices :) But no worries, I'll only be getting a new phone around December because I'm still waiting for prices to drop albeit an expired contract :) HAHA.

Well, I guess I'll log off to do some lab work :) I'll update again when I have the time.

P/S: I'm aiming to run a marathon next year! Isn't that so cool! Training does start now :) HAHAHA.

Cheers,
Eugene

I do feel tired....

2010-11-03T23:13:00.000+08:00

Well adjusting to school life is a real chore. It dosen't help that I had an off day today ;) I practically relieved my holiday moments but when I thought bout it, I'm like, "HEY! I was back in school for only 4 days!" What tired or exhaustion could I possibly be referring to? LOL. I guess I had too much of a break that I forgot what it's like to study and be bombarded with work. Okay slight exaggeration on my part but I do have great grand ideas for this semester. Sure hope I do not turn out to be a let down!

Had a gym session today. Things turned out better than expected and I rlly do hope my 2.4KM timing would improve by next year! Well, CDS tmr... I kinda regret taking public speaking. I should have gone for Jap or sth like that. After all, I do have some background on the Japanese language. Took a couple of lessons 2 years back :) HAHA. Right.. I guess I'll head to my bed now :) I love sleeping these days. It's my new hobby when I feel tired!

Cheers,
Eugene

Bad day

2010-11-02T23:11:00.001+08:00

I can practically count the number of bad days I had on my fingers because they are far and few. But today, I have to most regretfully say that it's a bad day. In fact, I was in a spate of rotten luck for the whole of today and I only hope that things are alright. I don't want to be penalised for a fault which isn't mine and neither do I want to be graded unfairly nor suffer for someone else's mistake.

:( Sorry. END OF BAD DAY POST! LOL

Cya

Eugene :D

School Blues

2010-10-29T23:12:00.000+08:00

Pardon whatever grammar errors I have made in the previous post. Did it in a rush. But still, it's no excuse for any grammar errors right? I know, I'll edit it when I'm free... I just can't stand having things not being properly done :) LOL

Right, school officially started yesterday. I'm becoming really lazy and starting to take a dislike towards school. Too much holidays I guess? ROFL. I DO NEED TO GET INTO THE RIGHT MOOD :( Oh yes, really sleepy because I had so little sleep for the past 2 nights! I guess everyone gets school blues when they have ridiculously long holidays and it will no doubt take a while to adjust. It's like returning from a different time zone overseas. Our bodies just have to adapt and adjust to the norm.

Hope everything's fine.... And...... The festivities are like round the corner? 2 more months to Christmas and New Year's ;) Pretty fast... I can't believe it. It's gonna be 2011 pretty soon and I'm getting another year older on 11 dec! Well...... OMG.... Time does fly right? LOL.

Cya all

Cheers,
Eugene

School is starting.....

2010-10-27T23:41:00.000+08:00

School is OFFICIALLY starting tomorrow! Yes, it's official because I'm heading to school tomorrow :( It just seems so fast. Ever since the YOG break I practically had more holidays than I bargained for. Yes, at times I was just so bored till I just wished I HAD something to do. But with school starting tomorrow, I'm having mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I would very much like to go to school and get the grades I've been wanting so badly. On the other hand, I will definitely miss this idle and slack life I've accustomed to for the past 2 and a half months

THINGS I WOULD MISS

1) Sleeping at 2am and knowing the next day is a holiday. It just feels so good to snuggle in bed and enjoy the delicious feeling that the next day will be as relaxing as today.

2) Waking up at 11 in the morning. Something about waking up late and KNOWING you have nowhere to rush to because really, what's there to worry about? School's out!

3) Watching TV and reading newspapers while having breakfast till 12 noon. It sounds ridiculous but it's just a habit of mine. :D

4) Sleepovers and hanging out with my cousins! I absolutely had a great time hanging out and hitting the gym with them

5) Watching dramas on the computer and TV. I'm a drama maniac and watched a hell load of dramas this holidays.

6) Playing Flight Simulator. Those countless hours of fun I had on my flight simulator will be dearly missed :( Arghh... No more living the virtual life :( It's back to reality and school work... AWESOME. :(

THINGS I WOULD NOT MISS

1) Those bored days where I wasted my time on the computer

2) Boring days when I really had nothing to do

3) WHAT ELSE CAN I NOT MISS ABOUT HOLIDAYS?! I must be nuts to not miss my holidays! ROFL.

I eagerly wait to start the new semester with the RIGHT ATTITUDE and of course, the good grades I want so badly... :) Wish me luck!

Cheers,

Eugene

I can't believe my holidays are ending.

2010-10-23T23:25:00.000+08:00

Remember when I was filled with so much joy and raved about my upcoming holidays? Well, it is with regret that I have to now say that school is technically starting on Monday... I used technically because I don't exactly have to go to school on Monday... In fact, I'm only going back to school on Thursday so I have a couple more days to relax before school actually starts.

Alright, let's sum up the holidays! This week was absolutely fantastic. Sean came over for a sleepover on wed, 20/10 and we had our swimming session + Movie!

Mel joined the sleepover party at Sean's place on thurs and we played PSP all the way into 4am! OMG. I never expected myself to be so geeky as to play PSP into the wee hours of the morning. We watched movies, munched on supper and had a totally fun time.

FRIDAY 22/10/10

Yes..... It was only yesterday. Went out for a movie yet again and had lunch @ Long John Silvers. Was craving for the grilled cajun chicken. LOL. I went home to bathe before going back to Sean's house to play yet again. Dinner was absolutely fantastic @ Shangri-la hotel. :D I find that I don't exactly eat my fill at buffets :( Esp when I go all the way to avoid sashimi and cold crabs :( I just can't stand uncooked food... I have odd tastebuds :(

TODAY!

Slept for like 10 hours straight. I was so tired from last night and I couldn't even stay on past 1am. I Just went to sleep and woke up at like 11.30. My mouth formed a big O when I woke up because apparently, I try not to stay in bed past 11 because it's a really bad habit. Gymed at the club before going to Long Beach for seafood with my family. Arghh... I feel like I need to burn a thousand calories LOL. But anyway, will eat simply for the next few days! I can't eat such rich food everyday! I'll either end up with some health problems or a really fat body! LOL.

I just can't believe school is finally starting. After all the fun and exercise... It's like HELLO SCHOOL! ROFL. I have worked out my exercise routine too! It's specially catered to improving my running because I need to run 2.4KM in a damned 10 minutes by next year! IT's for napfa next year and for army... WHATEVER. LOL. I need to work on my fitness level and my studies!

That's all

Cheers
Eugene

P/S: I'm feeling tired again! -.-

Exercise Session 1

2010-10-19T23:38:00.001+08:00

Holidays are boring......... That was so PAST.

Now that it's the last week of holidays, things are looking up and I'm finally spending my holidays the way it should have been0 True relaxation with a tinge of social fun and LIFE!

Caught Detective Dee with Mel yesterday after trying to get my PSP fixed which I decided against as it was going to burn a deep hole in my pocket. Had dinner at his house and we practically spent an hour or so on PSP. I gotta admit, my PSP is freaking fun now... Previously I bought all the wrong games but now... I HAVE great games and it's definitely on my "MUST-BRING" list when I go out... It has joined the ranks of my handphone and Ipod ;) HAHA

Had my first exercise session with Sean today... I must admit, hitting the gym with a partner does wonders. It pushes you to complete whatever you're doing and achieve better results! Had breakfast @ Coffee Bean which was rather mediocre. Not exactly the kind of breakfast I would die to have... HAHA. Headed to the club for our gym session before playing pool... Ended with dinner @ Nihon Mura at Kallang! It was pretty fun except Mel wasn't there. LOL... But we're gonna have a sleepover pretty soon! Like thurs or sth! YAYYY!

Alright... Guess I better rest early and recover from that flu because I'm going swimming tmr! Totally need the sun! I'm so... WHITE... literally... GEEZ... I need a tan.. BADLY. ROFL.

Cheers,
Eugene

Is my blog boring?

2010-10-16T15:26:00.000+08:00

I suppose my blog is EXTREMELY boring with words and nothing but words for every entry. Thought I should spice things up once in a while... Hmm... Since i'm really bored right now, I shall talk about my hobby.

For those who already know, please bear with me as I'm going to share a "grandmother/grandfather story". So yes, I am in love with AVIATION. Yes... You got that right. Aviation is the apex of travel. Okay for the sake of making things simple, I'm excluding spaceships and the like of it. My obsession first began when I was 15 after taking to the skies again after laying off from travelling for YEARS. The first time I flew, I was prolly 7/8 years old and it was to Australia. If you ask me, I CAN'T RMB NUTS. The only thing I remembered was that it was really boring because I had nothing to do on board except for colouring pictures furiously and waking up on the plane to disturb my dad. The second time I flew was when I was 9.... To Thailand. What do I remember about the plane ride? NOTHING. Okay... I watched Toy Story in THAI (Sheepish Grin) LOL. But other than that, I can only remember what I did at Thailand or Australia for that matter. Therefore, when I was 15 (7 YEARS LATER *SCREAMS*) and perhaps the only time when I'm big enough to fully understand that I'm going off to Hong Kong in an aeroplane, I was absolutely excited.

First of all, for someone who hasn't travelled for 7 years, it's understandable isn't it. When I was at the boarding gate, the destination wrote: "HONG KONG CX 710" Can't remember the flight number (But I suppose it's CX 710...). When I looked at the destination board, I let out a gasp as the destination board seemed to hold some really distant memory for me. It's as if I was coming home after leaving my house for 7 years.... It was all so familiar and yet so distant. Sentimental much?

Above: IT HAS NTH TO DO WITH MY AUSSIE/HK TRIP! It's the latest pic frm my Taiwan tour!

After my trip to Hong Kong, I thought nothing of it. Perhaps, aeroplanes have a special place in my heart because I don't really travel. But after an operation I had 2 weeks after my HK trip, I watched Triumph in the Skies and I started researching on aeroplanes and pilots. I then knew it was no ordinary obsession... It was here to stay! My interest just expanded into a vast sea of knowledge and I became thirsty for anything related to aviation... My mind just sucked in anything related to aeroplanes, pilots, air crew and airports. For me, the destination no longer matters ( Okay, it does a bit...) but the plane ride is the one i'm looking forward to!

I can't tell you how much interest I have for this. Because I might be pretty mild with my hobby but I do have the geeky side in me. I do read up about airports worldwide. I know which airlines and airports are good from online reviews. I know the requirements to be a pilot which I unfortunately fall short of.... I have been reading loads of materials online, spent hours on my flight simulator all in the name of my hobby!

Will my hobby ever end? I guess not... Aviation holds much untold secrets... The way things work, how is it possible to fly a 1726762136817272 tonne (JUST KIDDING) object in the air and at the same time holding buffalos? I for one, find it really interesting to stare at aeroplanes. It never fails to fascinate me when a plane flies by... I would stare in awe and marvel the loud sounds it makes. It's just so............ FASCINATING with CAPITALS!

Ok... Please don't find me weird! ROFL... OH... MY other hobby is travelling.... AHH... THAT... We'll have a sharing session about travelling another time when I don't feel as if my brain juices are sucked out of me!

Cheers,
Eugene

Snappy update

2010-10-07T00:55:00.000+08:00

Did my first long distance run today... Okay I wouldn't really say long distance... Perhaps longer than usual... HAHAH... But not exactly a 20KM run kind of thing though I would really hope to do something close to that by next year or so! :D Anyway, will be looking for a job later on!

Hopefully I wake up on time before my lazybones start to kick in! HAHA.. I do need a part time job not just to kill boredom but for extra income... So I would be able to maintain myself instead of asking and asking for money from my parents!.. OOOH... and to sustain that GEEKY side of me... I wanna buy a hardcore gaming PC for myself! ROFL... Imagine how cool it would be to play my Flight Simulator on Acer Predator... Fantastic :D

OKAY... It's so late and Im off to bed! Nights!

Cheers,
Eugene

My Future....

2010-09-30T22:35:00.000+08:00

As I sat and "stoned" today, a really really random thought struck me. What will I be like 10 years down the road? Let's do some quick calculations here, shall we... (Well not really calculations because this is so ridiculously easy to add up...) I'm currently 18, technically speaking, so I will be 28 come 10 years time.... Wow... Imagine me hitting my thirties... The thought of it is just absurd but very real! LOL... I mean can I imagine myself with a bulging tummy, zipping down the roads with a car, wearing designer wear from Armani and Burberry... Dude... That's inspiring and frightening..

I mean frightening cos it's gonna be a stark contrast to what I am now... If it's anything to go by, i'm completely clueless as to how i'm gonna end up... Well, I could either be a rich dandy or a poor soul... I mean my hobbies are REALLY expensive... And I don't just mean expensive. READ: REALLY EXPENSIVE.

I love hanging out at my recreational club, I love travelling, I love flight simulators, I'm obsessed with cars, specifically exotic ones like the Bugatti Veyron... I love being surrounded by beautiful things! I mean, who dosen't right? It's only whether or not you can afford it. Thing is, which of these am I gonna be able to afford once i'm a full grown adult? Am I gonna be like those daydreamers dreaming or perhaps one of the who make dreams a reality?

It's a question or thought hanging over my head recently especially since I will be reaching adulthood in say 3 years time? Okay... I'm being exceptionally weird tonight... Guess it's the boredom getting to me? HAH. I even thought of what career I would take but honestly... My dreams and aspirations are as boundless as the high seas... Take it from me.... Especially when I've considered being a lawyer, air crew, airline manager, airport staff, professor and...... et cetera et cetera... LOL.

Okay! Time to play games and stop all these mindless thoughts... I just looked at what subjects I'm gonna be taught next sem and company law freaked me out! I think we have a proj due on 20th Nov... FML... Dude... it's... SO RUSHED! HAHA. I better appreciate these idyllic days while it lasts! HAHA..

Cheers,
Eugene

Illustrious blogger...NOT

2010-09-29T00:23:00.002+08:00

I guess I have said it before, that the more bored I am, the more I will blog... Isn't it so true? I mean like I have TOO much free time on my hands and I'm practically idling my days just like how it was for all the previous holidays! Arghh!!! I seriously curse my holidays for not coinciding with my cousins! Seriously, as if not coinciding is bad enough, it has to CLASH with their exam periods. Dude, how in the world am I suppose to chill out when I can't even bring them out? LOL.

So yes, I'm mostly bored during my long holidays because they're all schooling. :( Pretty sad... Well... I did think of finding a job but those sexist employers only have eyes for girls.. ROFL... I mean I gotta admit, girls are way more pleasant servers than guys.. LOL.. I would rather a pretty girl attend to me when I'm in a shop rather than a grumpy guy.. LOL! I guess the next few weeks or so will be hardcore exercise... I guess I'm tired of running like a mad dog in the gym..It's draining... And the bus ride is just ardous... Seriously... I wished I lived near my club.. At least, that would be WAY more inspiration to visit the gym! Or perhaps, an exercise partner :( preferably female!! HAHA.... Okay... Enough of all this talk...

I'm seriously set on learning how to cook but it's just... tiring... HAHAHA! I should totally make use of my time by............. IDK seriously!! I'll let you know when I find what I can do with my time without the hassle of finding someone and yet...THE ACTIVITY IS AWESOMELY fun at the same time... PERHAPS I SHOULD START GARDENING?! ROFL.... TAKE CARE OF THE PLANTS AT HOME... WTF FML... IM MAD.. MOSTLY BORED...

K BYE

A wake up call not to be ignored.....

2010-09-24T23:48:00.002+08:00

When I received my results today, I was crushed and yet at the same time, it dawned on me that I truly have myself to blame for not getting what I expected. Yes, I failed to live up to expectations once again and allowed my GPA to slide to an all new low. It was pretty disappointing but the wake up call I had was the saving grace of today!

Yes, I did not do as well as expected but this will spur me to carry on and work harder. I have decided that from today onwards, I won't slack and use the computer as often. I WILL NOT study only 1 week before and will push myself way harder. I believe that if I put my heart to it, I will be able to achieve what I want :) SOOO YESSS!!! PUSH ON AND I'LL SUCCEED (Hopefully)

Went to Thai Express for dinner with mel and had ice cream @ idk wht's the name!!! But the ice cream was kinda nice... Well, different from Hagen- Dazs traditional flavours... It's got a tinge of excitement and new-ness in it's flavours which I definitely appreciate! HAHA.

Nothing else... Swimming tmr perhaps!

Cheers,
Eugene

OF reminiscence and new horizons

2010-09-21T23:12:00.000+08:00

I visited Snow City and the Science Centre today! It was clearly my first time at the Snow City as I had never been in there and in spite of the disparaging remarks made by many about how "fake" the snow is, I was still eager to check out this curious little attraction in our sunny island.

I'm sad to say that it did not live up to my expectations. Well.... When they distributed the jackets and gloves, I thought, HEY, I might be on to something!!! It could well be like the snow I saw in Korea.... Well, I couldn't be more wrong because I realised something was wrong when they just gave us those down jackets. I mean for a -5 temperature overseas, you prolly need long johns, a pullover and a down jacket.... But in snow city, we only had a down jacket :/ Takes away the excitement by half!

When I entered Snow City, it was cold alright... But not the kind of COLD you get in Winter :( Hmm... It's like a huge freezer with ICE. Not really snow because snow is extremely smooth to the touch and the "snow" in snow city is... HARD?! HAHA. Yeahh... Looked pretty much like ice to me. Albeit Snow City being INCREDIBLY SMALL it was still... FUN. Yes, I said it... It might not be anything like Winter Season overseas but it's definitely a COOL CHILL OUT for Singaporeans. After all, 10 bucks is extremely reasonable :) It wouldn't come close to the real deal but I mean, let's face it, how often do we get thousands of dollars to splurge on a white Christmas? :/

So yes, I had fun in Snow City sliding down their 3 storey slide! The ice kept getting in my shoes and I had to run out of the Snow chamber each time I slid down!!! After 30 mins of playing with ice, we moved on to the Science Centre. It changed quite a lot from the last time I been there and I was at the Viruses section where I got glued to a nat geo programme about SARS. I think i'm gonna youtube for it! It's really interesting.

Anyway, Cya all people!

Cheers,
Eugene

Compelled to blog

2010-09-10T23:51:00.000+08:00

Well I think my literary standards are dropping... If you compare my blog posts last year and now, I think my previous posts are ostensibly better written. :(

Hence, I feel compelled to blog once every month, at the very least to keep abreast with my literary skills :) Okay, I must admit that I don't write exceptionally well, but at least, passable and presentable?

Perhaps the reason why I'm here blogging is prolly because I'm way more relaxed than I am few months/weeks back. Yes, I had a 1 month YOG break but a 50 thousand tonne weight is permanently in my head constantly nagging me to study for my exams. Well, I did and did not. I tried to put in my best effort for my studies and I wouldn't say I went all 110% for it but at least, a 75%? Heyyy, a 75 is still a B+! HAHA. Okay I hope I pull it off pretty well this time *fingers crossed*

Okay, so the holidays are here yet again and I remembered my grand old plans last holiday and they all came to naught. This holiday, however, should be slightly different because......I hope i'm gonna put those plans into actions.

1) I'm so gonna be a regular at the gym (grown fairly chubby these days)
2) Look for new clothes, really do need some ;)
3) Learn cooking (Finally made my first cup of milo while studying!)
4) Take up something constructive, perhaps re-study my French? HAHA

yeah and at the top of my list is to RELAX! Like really really relax because when the new semester opens, Im gonna work much harder and do wayy better. I admit, I went off course this semester and some results for my coursework is rather unsatisfactory! But no worries, I'll make it up for the next semester and HOPEFULLY THIS SEMESTER ENDS WELL *Prays* Okay. Im done for tonight! I'll see ya all people! AND......... I feel like changing my blog skin! Been ages! This skin is pretty....DULL and UNFASCINATING! LOL

Cheers,
Eugene

INCEPTION + YOG CLOSING CEREMONY

2010-08-27T22:53:00.000+08:00

I have loads to talk and share about but let's start this entry in a systematic way. First off, the events will be in chronological order...

Arghh can someone get me the calender so I can have an easy reference of the dates which i'm gonna blog about?! *Grumpily gets the calender on study table....

25/08/10, Wednesday

Went to watch inception. After recovering from the flu bug, I was only all too happy to get out of the house and have some fun... In fact, I had a tad too much fun that I kind of neglected my studies. Yea... Inception was pretty amazing. I mean who would have ever thought of a dream within a dream? Total genius if you ask me. It's true that it's kinda hard to understand. Those with IQs over 200 may shut up and STOP saying it's easy to understand. However, I'm mighty glad for those who explained to me the show afterwards because it all made sense after their explanations and reading the synopsis :)

26/08/10
YOG CLOSING CEREMONY
YOG closing ceremony was the BOMB man. Absolutely spectacular! I wasn't sure if I could get the tickets till Wednesday night and when I saw the ticket, I knew it was gonna be a really special event.... It wasn't the kind of paper tickets you get from watching those musicals or concerts... It was a beautiful card and was packaged in the nicest possible way. It looked so presentable that I was swept off my feet by the...... CARD. The card even enabled us free travel rides! GEEZ, it's the first time I ever seen such an amazing and well, thoughtful ticket?! Even giving us free transport to get us to the performance venue! :) (Y)

Met Daren bright and early to get to the club to study but it was totally futile. I had my hair cut and went to the gym. Took up pretty much the entire morning and perhaps, half of my afternoon. So we didn't study much but went to the arcade at the club for some games. Left at around 4 to get to City hall for the closing ceremony.

We reached earlier than expected so we had tea at fruit paradise in Raffles City. We were sorely tempted by the tarts. They looked so appetizing. Sort of something to try but we were totally disappointed that it tasted... Well, NORMAL. We expected it to be of something much more tastier but it tasted like normal fruits. :( So yeaps. We left for the floating platform after our tea and arrived there 2 hours early for the YOG closing ceremony! It was supposed to start at 7.30 but we were there at 5.30 to get good seats. After all, it was free seating within the coloured zone of the tickets you bought. Ours was a mid ranged ticket. Not the cheapest but also, not the most expensive. Smack in the middle I would say ;)

The Singapore sun was unforgiving yesterday. It beat down on all of us relentlessly, baking us spectators. I was mighty glad I had an umbrella handy and I even thought of giving up my seat because the sun was far too merciless. I'm glad I stayed on though because the show was to die for.

When the ceremony began I was awestruck and was apparently so until the very end of the ceremony. The fireworks kept me impressed and the national anthem struck a chord in me. I was proud of Singapore and totally patriotic at that time. The experience was beyond words. As Daren very simply put it, "it's once every 400 years," and I'm glad I was there to experience the closing ceremony of the inaugural Youth Olympic Games :)

You know, it might seem funny that I'm madly in love with the YOG experience but truly, I felt proud being part of history. Even the brochure on the ticket wrote..."A PART OF HISTORY." I was part of the 27,000 strong crowd in Marina Bay and I'm here to make my presence felt :)

Phew... When the next YOG happens, I might be old enough to jet off to Nanjing to experience the opening ceremony! HAHAHA! Just some random thought...

Anyway, Im done with my blathering and should seriously get started with my studies!

Till then!

Cheers,

Eugene

Is anyone even reading this blog?

2010-08-20T00:24:00.000+08:00

HIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

When I wanted to update my blog, a thought suddenly struck me, "how many people are actually reading my blog?" I mean gone are the days where I get tags almost every day or when I check the nuffnang counter eagerly for hits hopping to have 50 unique visitors in a day.... In fact, I guess the last time I check nuffnang was prolly 187232938282 years back?!

I guess as I grow older and older, I start to have lesser time for such hobbies. In the past I could blog EVERYDAY you know... Frightening isn't it? Well, I still blog for 2 very apparent reasons....

1) To keep myself active in my online diary
2) To at least have an avenue to express myself in words... (I'm pretty afraid tht my writing will deteriorate ever since I stopped writing.)

Just recovered from a horrid 5 day fever + cough + flu + painful throat. Okay, I might still have a slight cough and feel a tickle down my throat once in a while but I hope it's nth serious. Hopefully it'll go off in a day or two... My YOG break so far has been REALLY LAZY. Okay so I was sick for the past 5/6 days. I just parked myself in front of the TV and watch all the TV programmes available and when it's at night, I just go into my room and sleep :( Absolutely lazy lifestyle, if I must say :( But then again, it was still kind of fun watching TV like that....

Simply just watching to my heart's content... Of course, the fever and cough takes away some fun :( I wanna swim and gym and run!!!!!!!! HAHAHA. Been 1 whole week since I last got up and really exercised.

I have no idea why Im so tired when its only 12.30... I think I'm off to bed now...

Oh and for the record, what I did today, or rather YESTERDAY since it's 20 Aug now was TV till 9pm... Showered and used comp till now. STUPIDLY lazy, dont u agree? LOL

Cheers,
Eugene

Looking forward to.... LAZY DAYS AHEAD

2010-08-09T23:59:00.001+08:00

It's August and the month long YOG break is finally here. I can't totally enjoy because there are still exams for me and I do need to really really study hard for it! I must live up to expectations and not disappoint my parents or most importantly, myself again. :D

National Day today was cool because I expected it to be a really lazy day but nope, it wasn't. Went around with my family to grandma's house for a short visit, bought a new fan cos my maid broke our old fan and went to tamp mall to change our set top box to a HD one :D AWESOME! :( with a sad face because we can't install it properly and missed like a segment of the national day parade. I can't watch DVDs anymore cos the colour's gone :( Pretty sad huh. Have to fix it asap man :(

Anyway, today was near perfect except for......... Well I wouldn't say it expressly over here but I just feel pissed off with the insults directed at me by ___________. You know, God made me this way... He gave me this height and this looks which I'm immensely proud of. Yeah I'm not those tall 185cm people and I will prolly never be them... You see, I never minded about my height in the past because I was contented... Sure people around me were taller and some were shorter but it didn't really bother me because I knew that not everyone is TALL and not everyone is SHORT.

I started being conscious about my looks say a few years back when people ( you wouldn't expect who this group of people are- They are the least you would expect to say this to you) pointed out that geez, you're short. Ok... I admit, I ain't those tall people. I smiled and nodded. After all, what's wrong, it's a damned fact that I ain't tall. But once, twice and thrice is just a factual comment... More than that and it's FUCKING ANNOYING. I know I ain't as tall as you but why do you have to FUCKING SAY IM FUCKING SHORT EACH FUCKING TIME YOU FUCKING SEE ME?! FUCK YOU man... I have no idea how you meant these comments to come across but it sure isn't nice... I don't feel all grand insulting someone.... You on the other hand seem to take pleasure in this sadistic taunting of me. I have no FUCKING IDEA WHY AND I HAVE FUCKING ENOUGH OF IT....

One more time man... just one more time before I fucking lose my cool and scream the fuck at you. Please don't blame me cause I don't enjoy doing this and prolly never will....

Sorry for the emotional outburst! HAHA

Eugene :D
Still happy nevertheless :D

WOWWWWWWW- Time flies

2010-08-04T22:51:00.000+08:00

Wow... I haven't updated in a really reeeally long while. So I guess this time, I'm here to blog about my seemingly boring life story... So it is with all the rush of project works the past few weeks. Yes, I've been busy and no, I'm not gonna be busy for the next few days because I've decided on a total break for the next week at least! HAHA.

Well, the weekend of Hell is over and let me blog about something less sombre... Something with much more joy and happiness! I intended to blog about this since a week ago but I was kept busy with those reports reports and drafts...

25/7/10

Athena's second time in Singapore! HAHA. Grandma was having her birthday celebrations at home and I still managed to have lunch with all our relatives before heading out to the airport to greet our guests who has come from afar! HAHA... Geez, why am I exaggerating like that?! WTF... Anyways, I reached the airport like AN HOUR EARLIER! HAAH. No I actually wasn't early... In fact, I was just on time because the plane was supposed to touch down at 3 if I rmb correctly but she was delayed at immigration. So yeah... My heart was pounding like a lamborghini car revving up its engines... I was nervous + excited because after all, we've only met twice and her PARENTS are like coming... You know how some parents can be like right? LOL.... But when I saw them, I was immediately put at ease. They were jolly decent people who were all smiles and warmness. Thank god.... HAHA

So I followed them around our sunny little island and was the tour guide for the day... Perhaps not a really good one though with little knowledge about the public transport! (:

26/7/10

I was about to head out and meet Athena at the zoo when I realised that I had to hand in my MBS work.. I was cursing and swearing in the morning because I was gonna be late! HAHA. But I still managed to get things done! ROFL... Rushed to the zoo to meet Athena and, I definitely had loads of fun at the zoo as it brought back really beautiful memories of the past. In fact, if I rmbed correctly, nothing changed much. HAHA...

28/7/10
MBS presentation was like a total joke.... HAHA. I think we're pretty screwed. After presentation, I rushed down to the airport in a cab to bid Athena goodbye! Time flew when she was here... It was like before that, we were talking bout her second visit to sg and now, it's like over so soon! Couldn't believe it... Anyways, glad I said bye because I wasnt sure when she'll ever come again or when we'll meet. At the end of the day, I was glad I spent time with them... I certainly had fun being the tour guide and interacting with my friends from overseas! HAA

Guess I'll end here... YAWNZ.

Cya folks!

Cheers,

Eugene

THE LION KING AND WHAT I REALLY MISS

2010-07-13T00:01:00.001+08:00

Days ago, while I was searching for a movie to watch on WTV for my Ipod touch, I chanced upon The Lion King... I knew I had the VCD kept in my drawers but I thought, HEY, it's cool to watch it on my IPOD! Srsly! So I downloaded it and BOY, was I sucked into the whole 60 Mins or more of the show. Never have I felt so nostalgic and all my memories coming back to me...

Later, I searched for John Elton's Can you feel the love tonight, which was one of the songs on Lion King and this very nostalgic feeling hit me... I cannot understand or explain this feeling... It's like something of the past but your heart just swells when you hear this song... It was only tonight that I truly understand this feeling. All this while, I've been missing my childhood days... The freedom and joy I had... The song merely transported me back to those transient days.

So I finally realised that I don't miss the movie... Okay maybe I do to a certain extent but what I really miss most are my childhood memories... Those days where I plonk myself in front of the TV and watch Lion King and worry bout nothing except whether Simba is doing well with his pride... :) It was the GOOD OLD DAYS!

Im so gonna download can you feel the love tonight into my IPOD! YESS U HEARD IT RIGHT :D

Cheers,
Eugene

NOTE TO SELF!

2010-07-12T01:52:00.000+08:00

Someone or anyone who has a "HARDWORKING" potion for me? ANYONE PLEASEEEEEEEEEE? HAHAHA. Im being lame! Anyway, it's super late.. CYA!!

Blogging purely for the sake of blogging

CHEERS,

Something new

2010-07-05T00:16:00.000+08:00

I experienced something new recently over the past week and I wanna share it with you guys... It's kinda like a taboo topic in SG bt I guess I'll still talk about it- Racism. Racism here is rare and seldom in our sunny little island but once in a while, you'll hear one race passing a snide and racist remark against another race. That's perfectly fine, if you ask me. So long as you meant it as a joke and no malice was intended, I totally don't mind. I for one, wouldn't mind making a jibe at myself... But repetitive racist remarks all at one go? That's something totally new.

For one, I'm not petty or narrow-minded like some. I am pretty magnanimous when it comes to insults. Im quite liberal with things. I'm open to almost anything and everything. But... Where racism is concerned, Im sorry, it's kinda sensitive to me. Once is funny, twice is annoying and thrice is just plain stupid. It's not like I have a choice in choosing my race or that I did something silly/bad, that's why I ended up being a Chinese. I'm just born as a Chinese because God wanted me to be that way. And boy, am I so damned proud of myself as a Chinese, my heritage and of course, my family. Well it isn't nice insulting someone cos they're different from you. Who wants to be ostracized, you tell me. I know for a fact that when someone passes such insensitive and senseless remarks, he/she doesn't even have the basic respect for humans.

Yes, they may feel all so grand while putting someone down but how does that someone being put down feel? Ecstatic? On the contrary, being insulted isn't nice and it absolutely lowers one's self esteem. For a moment, I was feeling very very out of place, like I didn't belong at all- an outcast when the racist remarks were passed liberally. One after another. But then again, thank God I'm proud of who I am and where I'm standing in society today. If you ask me, I'll call it confidence. Believing and knowing yourself works wonders for your self esteem. Not once did I feel ashamed of being a Chinese, in fact, I was pretty proud of myself to keep my calm and cool and walk off without retorting. On hindsight, I did the right thing.

For someone who is able to discern and to be sensitive towards the feelings of others, I scored perfectly. After all, the golden rule is always to not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you. At the end of the day, I did something correct and that racist bugger only exacerbated his/her ignorant/insensitive and retarded attitude.

Well, think before insulting because at the end of the day, u'll be at the losing end because it goes to show your upbringing and how well you're being taught at home. If you can't respect, you can't expect others to respect you, least of all, the slightest bit of sympathy towards you. I'm done with my rants and I'll just end by saying- We are all the same albeit the different colours of our skin. We all have the same dignity and the respect for each and every person shouln't be accorded different levels of respect because only in diversity do we thrive :)

Cheers,
Eugene

P.S: Im not in the wee bit angry but merely just voicing my opinions. If you happen to be A RACIST BUGGER, please read and re-read and hopefully, understand that insulting/passing racist remarks is absolutely not cool! :)

A penny for your thoughts?

2010-06-19T01:37:00.003+08:00

I realised that I've changed. Not for the better or worse, I've just changed. My attitude and perspective towards life has changed totally and its still changing.

No longer am I the young naive boy where all I worry about is, "Damn I hid my friend's schoolwork, will I get into any trouble?" Well, perhaps its good if that's all that I worry about now but bad too because it would mean that I have not matured at all. Not a single bit. Luckily, I've matured but unfortunately, it means more worries and burdens :(

I came across this before- Your heart is like a suitcase. When you pack your heart with the heavy things, it becomes so heavy and burdensome. Exactly like a suitcase- when you pack the heavy things, it becomes really heavy. So why not just throw out the heavy things? Your heart/suitcase will be much lighter. It's for one, easier said than done. I mean like, HELL, I can easily do anything by typing a few keys on the keyboard, like say, OH IM FEELING GREAT!! when in reality, its the exact opposite. I'm just deluding myself. So I'm definitely not gonna bluff myself and say I'm free of worries BECAUSE.IM.NOT.

School is starting soon and projects are due. Can I say fuck? FUCK! _|_ ROFL. I hate being busy! And most of all, I'm worried about not living up to expectations. I know that you guys have very high hopes of me but all I'm doing is to idle and waste my time! :( I'm feeling very guilty and URGHHH WTFZXZXZX :( I HATE THIS FEELING MAN! I wanna work harder too but my lazybones always get the better of me! Im even lazy to update my blog wtf. -.-"

So yeah, had project meeting in school today before heading to Mel's house for dinner. The past 2 weeks were a real blast. Time passed so fast that as soon as I caught my breath, my holidays are ending.... All too soon :( But anyway, sis birthday celebration tomorrow! WEE... It's partyyyyy babyyyyyyyyy :) HAHAHA.

Alright... That's all I've gotta say! Nights!

Or rather, Morning! It's freaking 1.35am! HAHAHA. Early to some but definitely bedtime for me! Cya all

Cheers,
Eugene

Life isn't a bed of roses

2010-06-16T23:03:00.000+08:00

Not all my posts are happy posts. Some are filled with joy while some are, unfortunately, filled with worries. Much as I wish to remove this certain irritant in my life, it still persists in being there, making me worried and unhappy. :(

And today I must sadly, blog about my worries. I know, I haven't been updating this blog in weeks and when I do, I start rambling about my worries but damn it, who cares right? As long as I'm less worried and it helps to soothe my nerves. :)

It's the holidays now but so many things are bogging me down. For one, it's my test results. I've never posted about my exams ever since I joined Poly and I think right now, its actually bugging me because I know I barely put in any effort and am regretting it dearly.

For another, I just feel that somehow your attitude towards me has changed. It's sort of a gradual thing. It didn't happen overnight but slowly and surely, I can feel your arrogance and despise towards me each time we're together. Though I know for sure that you still think of me as someone close to your heart, your insults and arrogance have hurt me deeply and I know for one that things aren't going to change for the better. Am I to just suck it all up? I have no idea.

I'm of course, worried by much more things and they are far too private to be said out loud. I hope that I will feel better in weeks to come and finally, be the happy guy again!

Whenever I feel like this, there's only one thing that Im glad to have and its my memories. No doubt they're worthless to you but to me they're priceless. Each and every single memory of mine fills me with warmth and happiness as I recall the stupid and SMART things which I did in the past..... :)

Cheers,
Eugene xD

The most awesome weekend EVER!

2010-05-23T23:07:00.001+08:00

This weekend is by far the BEST weekend I've ever had! ROFL :)

Fri, 21/5/10

Met up with Athena right after school. She was in Singapore for a short holiday and we went to Clarke Quay for dinner! HAHA. Awesome! Daren was late though.So I had to wait for Daren @ Dhoby Ghaut MRT station and made our HK guests wait @ Clarke Quay! Zzzzz.

After our dinner @ Clarke Quay we walked around Chinatown where Daren and I were thoroughly embarrassed because we don't know our own country well at all! Zzz... Went home around 11 + and my legs were already breaking by then! HAHAH. Lousy me... :(

Sat 22/5/10

After our project meeting @ marina, I went to Eunos to meet up with Athena. Daren and Xianda ditched me @ the last minute and I was left to bring our guests around. I ws like freaking out because mainly, I wasnt really familiar with the public transport in SG. But Im glad when I brought our guests to the Airport, I heaved a sigh of relief and gave myself a pat on the back and said, "well done!" At least I got them to the airport safely! WAHAHA.

It was a really fun day on sat! We toured round East Coast park :)

Sun, TODAY

Today was freaking awesome too.

Woke up super early to have breakfast before going with dad to collect his new car and it was like a totally cool experience. :) From the moment we entered the showroom, the service ws like (Y) which my sister quickly dissed and said, "what a waste of manpower...." LOLOLOLOL... And.... The best part was.... WE COULD HAVE HAD BREAKFAST @ THE SHOWRROM LAH! ZZZ. Didnt have to like wake up so early! ROFL. We had no idea it would be such a long drawn affair just to collect a car! ROFL. And it was noon by the time everything was settled. LOL.

I had a totally awesome weekend and I hope to pen this down in my blog so that i'll rmb it in the days to come! HAHA.

Cheers,
Eugene :)

GRAND OLD PLANS

2010-05-15T00:04:00.000+08:00

I wanted to start off by saying, "School is taking its toll on me," but I thought otherwise. HAHA. Cos apparently school is NOT taking its toll in me. In fact, if its anything which is making me tired, its got to be those late nights slacking. OOPS :X

Yeah... I wonder if Im putting in any effort at all for this year. Last year, I was at LEAST studying, but now, I've gone into an uber relaxed mode tht Im even shocking myself :X

Yeah... Gym tmr I suppose! HAHA. Plus, I'll try to get started on some homework if it's even possible... Feeling out of sorts lately :( Hope it ain't anything major... But I have this premonition that something bad is gonna happen to me pretty soon and it'll take me a herculean load of courage to face it :X

Gosh wtf am I blabbing about? ROFL. Tiredness. Gonna slp soon! Nights ppl :)

Not exactly in the best mood,
Eugene

Taipei, Day 2

2010-04-12T17:12:00.001+08:00

Hey everyone. Sorry for the delay!

Pls pardon my grammar errors in the previous post! ROFL.... I typed it out in a rush!!!Travel Blogging is sure a nightmare and it definitely takes A LOT of patience....

Above: Breakfast in Hotel- It wasnt good at all. Basic International fare with some Taiwanese snacks. I didnt eat any Taiwanese snacks because they look... welll... WEIRD ! HAHA. :( I just ate scrambled eggs and drank a bottle of Yakult! HEHE.

Day 2 was special because we had a City Tour and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that the city tour consists of only the 4 of us- meaning, my family! LOL. I was expecting a huge bus with like loads of aunties... ROFL.... THANK GOD! HAHA.

Above: On our private van heading to our first stop- CHIANG KAI SHEK MEMORIAL HALL! :)

As expected... The tour guide spoke in Mandarin and I caught ONLY BITS AND PIECES of what he was saying. T.T

Above: It looks pretty grand on the outside and unsurprisingly grand on the inside tooo.... Just wait and see the pictures that follows!

Above: They have a huge stretch of courtyard which stretches for miles... (Exaggerating again) Yeaps... So whilst I was walking, my dad turned around and helped me take some photos with the entrance (:

Above: I TOLD YOU their courtyard stretches for MILES AND MILES... Look at that frightful flight of stairs! We climbed those stairs okay... HAHAHA !!!

Above: I wasn't lying when I said that the interior was grand right right right?! HAHAHA.

Above: Sis and I. HAHAHA.

Being the suakus that we are, we thought that the interior was only that big... (meaning the little space you see around the Chiang Kai Shek statue) Little did we realise that they have an exhibition area on the lower floors... YES... Those stairs that we climbed were 4 floors high.... There was a lift to go up actually! _|_ OHHH! And....... We explored the lower floors exhibits and thus was late for our next stop...............

Above: The lower floors. Humongous floor plan. HAHA

Above: They must really respect Chiang Kai Shek a lot to build him a memorial hall this huge and grand... Plus preserving all his personal effects.

Above: AHHHHHHHHH.... I liked this view a lot! HAHA. Relaxing.... Providing a feeling a tranquility ;) I felt so serene at that point of time because im on HOLIDAY BABY! I totally miss that feeling :(

Above: Our next stop was the Martyr's Shrine where they had the changing of guards ceremony. Remember I said that we were late for our next stop? Yeaps... We were late for THIS!!! OH NOOOOOO.... HAHAHA. We missed the begining! T.T

Above: They look so serious and professional! HAHA.

Above: Yeaps...... IDK wht to say for this! HAHAHA!!!!!

Above: We could actually take photos with the guards! HAHAHA. I ws so afraid to go near this guard cos his bayonet was effing long. ROFL... And he's standing so straight like a statue!

Above: Their honour... Our pity... LOL... I kinda feel sad for them... Clad in such a thick uniform under the merciless glare of the hot sun.... Bt my dad said that they feel so honoured to be standing there. Oh well....

Above: Chinese architecture. This shrine ws built for the 72 people who sacrificed their lives for......... IDK who... But yeah... No one was around to explain anything to us. So we just walked around and took random photos. HAHA.

Above: Family photo without sis this time as she's the photographer! HAHA.

Above: Our next stop was this medical showroom. I was like OMG... Even when we're following a free and easy tour, they still bring us to buy things! _|_ KNN!!!! Rmb the Korean Ginseng incident?!?!?! Pls look @ my Korea trip archives to refresh your memory... I think its Day 7... LOL! Yeah.

Above: We left Taipei City and went to Chiufen for a sightseeing tour! This is the shop which sells really great Taiwanese snacks! HAHA. We bought a box full of food! HAHAHA.

We finally made it to our next stop where they sell Jade. GRRRRRRRRRR.... Made us burn another huge hole in our pockets!!!!! But I have to admit that certain stuff they said were true!- They compared our 8 characters bla blaaaaa... Im not too familiar either! :(

Above: Exterior of the building! HAHA. ~~REMEMBER THIS PLACE....~~ Best is if you don't go into this building cos if you don't go in, YOU WON'T BUY ANYTHING! -.-

Universal Studios Singapore

2010-04-07T23:29:00.000+08:00

Okay, Im taking a break from blogging about my Taipei trip. Instead i'll blog about yesterday's trip @ Universal Studios Singapore.

Before I start, let's take a look at the pros and cons.

PROS:
1) Really compact with lotsa attractions (Saves us all the walking time & Spared us from the heat)
2) The attractions arent those lame ones that you get in your HDB funfair.
3) It's comparable to international theme parks!

CONS:
1) Freaking hotttt! (Please bring a handkerchief/Towel!)
2) For those who are really big on huge theme parks, this might nt be your thing....

Okay for those out there who REALLY REALLY want to enjoy Universal Studios Singapore, I have a few suggestions for you guys to fully enjoy the park albeit the scorching hot weather! ;)

1) Go prepared. Bring a towel, cap and whatever you think is necessary to block out the heat ;)
2) Visit those attractions like Shrek's 4-D, Steven Spielberg's filming set in the morning/noon.
3) There's a waterworld show @ 4.30/2.00pm. My advice: Go for the 2.00pm show. (We went for the 4pm show and it was cancelled due to glitches! So check out the 2.00pm show! Even if there are glitches, you can catch the next show @ 4.30!)
4) When its late afternoon and when the sun is less scorching, try the enchanted airways/The flying thing @ lost world (:
5) Close to 5pm, get a splash at the Rapids located @ the Lost World (:

For many, when the park closes at 6, you all can freshen up @ the many restrooms located all around Resorts World (:

HAHHAA. That was exactly what we did yesterday! It was really fun and pleasant (:

Went for a night luge ride after Universal Studios Singapore. Ate @ koufu food court, Sentosa and my legs could break from fatigue! ROFL.

TODAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Went out for dinner with Visa (: Passed her my gifts which i bought from Taipei.

Nothing else.
CHEERS,
Eugene

TAIPEI, DAY 1

2010-04-05T22:37:00.114+08:00

HIYA everyone! As promised, here's day 1 of my Taipei trip! HAHA.

So... back to the 31st of March 2010.

We left house pretty early even though our flight was @ 12.20! In fact we left for the airport @ around 9? IN A MERCEDES CAB OKAYYYZ?! LOL. What a great way to start a holiday! Even the cab ride to the airport was LUXURIOUS! HAHA. (: (Y) Yeaps. We had our breakfast in Terminal 3's food court before heading to Ya Kun for some coffee and drinks! (:

We checked in at about..................... 10.20 because we had never been into the transit area of Terminal 3. All this while, we've always departed from Terminal 1. Yeah. And.... THE LAST TIME I was on SINGAPORE AIRLINES was about.... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.... *SHRIEKS IN HORROR* IDK how many years!!! HAHAHA. Yes yes... So this time round.. I was set with the idea of enjoying every single minute of this flight- as a plane and SQ enthusiast! HAHA.

Enough of introductions! I'll cut the chase and go straight into describing the pictures. Better for us all right? ;)

Above: Walking into the transit area after checking in @ row 3 in Singapore's Changi Airport Terminal 3!

Above: Sis and I are SOOOOOOOOOO excited... After all, its our first time in Taipei! (:

Above: Dad and I :)

Above: Lame ass butterfly park! We walked up and down the transit area searching for this park and it turned out to be ultra lame... =.="... My advice... GO THERE. NOT!!! Zzz. HAHAH.. Unless you love butterflies then I have nth to say! :)

Above: All these years, I've been looking in wistfully from outside, wishing that im one of those Travellers in the transit area and right now, IM IN HERE LOOKING OUT @ shoppers baby! :) HAHA. I felt a sense of achievement... like I finally made it in! ROFL. -.-"

Above: I was worried that my boarding pass would be a piece of paper... BUT NOO! They reprinted all our boarding passes leh! HAHA. COOL COOL (Y) <3 Singapore Airlines!

Above: Plane Spotting @ Changi Airport!

Above: Hanging around the airport! HAHA. I <3 airports! WEEE!

Above: Video of us walking around Changi Airport Terminal 3's Transit Area! Enjoy it in HD! :)

Above: We were late for boarding... BUT were one of the first few to check in @ the airport =.="

Above: Ignore how fat i look in this photo... PLEASE! LOL.

Above: Video of Takeoff from Singapore Changi Airport! Please enjoy it in HD (:

Above: Up in the Air! YAYYY! That feeling is still fresh in my mind! HAHA.

Above: WT.TH.FCK. They have a menu specially for this flight. And mind you... Im only in ECONOMY CLASS okay. I <3 you SIA! HAHA.

Above: My international choice of food! LOL. I cant get over the fact that they served our meal with METAL utensils. Neat huh? HAHA.

Above: Idk wht's this pic for. HAHAHA! -.-"

Above: Singapore Airlines B777-200 Safety card! Yeah the plane we sat to Taipei was a B777-200 :)

Above: Seriously? Pokemon Yellow Version?! !@!@!#@#!!@@!@!#!#@$!$!%... YES IKR! HAHA. But I didn't waste my time playing that... I watched...... TITANIC because all the new shows are so boringgg! I've watched those shows before so I went into an oldies mode on board the plane! :)

Above: Lovely cup! HAHAHAHA.

Above: Video of our plane landing in Taipei! HAHA. Enjoy it in HD quality :)

Above: Hello Hello Taipei! HAHAHA.

Above: Welcome to Taiwan! Damn they spammed those posters at their airport! ROFL

Above: HELLOOOOO! We're tourists from Singapore and we're here to have a GREATTT TIME :) Let's see what you've got! HEHE

Above: Waiting for our luggage. Took them 12521565125125215512 years for them to have our luggage out on the conveyor belt -.-"

Alright... When we arrived in Taipei, we were like looking for our driver who is supposed to pick us up and bring us to the hotel. After walking through the entire corridor of the arrivals in Taoyuan Airport, we finally spotted our flight number with my dad's name misspelled! LOL.... My dad was like... " HE SPELLED MY NAME WRONGLY!!!" Zzzzzzzzzzz. HAHAHAHAH.

Above: In the car, on our way to our hotel. Their airport is actually out of Taipei City. It's in Taoyuan! HAHA. Hence, Taoyuan International Airport :) I was gladly surprised because they sent a private car over to pick us up! WOOHOOO. Thank you Chan Brothers!! :)

Above: Stepped right into the heart of Taipei! HAHA. This is Taipei Main station and also... the nearest station to our hotel ,COSMOS!Its just a few steps away from our hotel! And... This station has regular MRT trains, bullet train and some other train service. WTF right? Its ginormous I tell you! ROFL.

Above: After reserving our bullet train tickets on Friday, we proceeded to tour Taipei 101 @ night! HAHA.

Above: WOWWWWWWWWWWWW! :)

Above: Let the pictures do the talking! HAHAHA.

Above: Me and sis in Taipei's tallest building.

Above: Random shots of Taipei City :)

Above: At their 92nd floor, where its an outdoor observatory! :) HAHA. COOLING WEATHER!

Above: Whoa! Hugeee Ballz! HAHA. LOL. Idk what's this for but so many people are taking photos with it so I took a photo of it! HAA

Above: Scammers in action! AHAHA. Kidding. I just hate people who hard sell! ROFL.

OHHHHHHH.... Speaking of which, I did not upload any photos of my dinner because it STANK like shit. Im serious. IT. SMELT.OF. PIG! Idk what they added into the rice but initally, it tasted really nice but once the smell settled in, I almost puked okay... SERIOUSLY... Taiwanese food is really extreme! ROFL. Try it at your own peril!

Above: It was pretty late by the time we visited this bookstore. After a 4-5 hour flight and a short tour of Taipei @ night, we retreated to our hotel and rest because we will be having a city tour the next day! HAHA.

OH... I did not take any photos of the hotel because my camera battery went dead after we reached Taipei and these photos were painstakingly taken by switching on and off my camera. -.-

Hope you guys liked what I posted. Hang on, Day 2's post will be out PRETTY SOON!

Cheers,
Eugene :)

IM HOME (:

2010-04-04T20:37:00.000+08:00

KEEP THAT HORRID TEMPER OF URS IN CHECK!

2010-03-09T17:57:00.002+08:00

Reminder to self- KEEP THAT HORRID TEMPER OF URS IN CHECK!

I have quick, hot tempers and I flare up really easily. But i never stay angry for long. After 5 mins or so, It'll blow over. But no so with the other parties. IDK how many people have I offended with this temper of mine. Yes everyone is all nice when things are going their way but once things do not turn out the way they want to, tempers start flaring, people start getting angry....

And because of this, I could have lost a friend of 6 yrs just by being so hot tempered. I'm sorry dude. I shouldn't have been so harsh on you over such a ridiculous reason. But the thing is, we're all guys and so I guess once we lay everything out on the table, everything will blow over :D HAHA

Haiz. Gotta learn to be more even tempered! ARGHHH!

RIGHT...

Trip to Taiwan (Taipei) is confirmed! WOOHOOO!!! I'll be away on the 31st of March till 3 April. Away for a really really short while but still, im gonna make full use of this holiday to enjoy... MOREOVER... We're going by Singapore Airlines baby! FUCK YEAH!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH :)

Went for songs of the Sea at sentosa yesterday. Had marche for dinner again. Rosti always does the trick to get me out of the house =.="

HAHAH. Nth else.

See ya all,

CHEERS

Eugene :D

HOLIDAYS

2010-03-04T23:52:00.005+08:00

The most dreaded and feared exams are finally over and the long awaited March holidays are finally here!!

My oh My i have so many plans but I wonder if any would materialise! LOL

1) Learn to cook
2) Meet ups
3) Exercise more frequently
4) Work??
5) HK DRAMAS

I most prolly wont work I suppose because I want to fully enjoy the 6/7 weeks of break that I have. Yes, it might be boring without work but I guess I will be able to relax better without working? HAHA

So righttt....

2/3/09

Idled at home- Watching HK dramas before heading to Vivo's marche for a totally wonderful dinner with bestie! HAHA. Hopped onto the train to visit Resorts World Sentosa and the night view of the resort was.......... mesmerizing. It caught my breath and Im totally impressed with all the hotels and how deep the basement of the resort is. We practically got lost in there!!! ZOMG...

While we were lost, we approached a lady and asked, "Hey how do we get out of here because the signs do not make any sense!"

LADY: " FUCK!!! I want to get out of hereee! Im so tired! Im pissed with this place!"

LOL. Couldnt help but burst into laughter. ROFL. Not only visitors are lost! EVEN THEIR STAFF CANT FIGURE A WAY OUT OF THE MAZE?! LOL. Yeah. Tues was totally awesome. One of the best nights out definitely.

TODAY

Alice in wonderland was GREAT! HAHA. I loved that show.

SORRY GUYS im tired today! HAHAH. Cant post much.. Will do a better update soon!

CHEERS,
Eugene

CHINESE NEW YEAR 2010

2010-02-16T22:19:00.003+08:00

I tried to sneak in a post on the 14th of feb but I decided that I SHOULD blog about the Chinese new year holiday as A WHOLE ENTRY instead of painstakingly trying to manipulate the dates on poor blogger.

13th Feb 2009

Chinese New Year's eve!

Yes, I know... The eve of a holiday totally makes everyone sit up and start preparations for the actual holiday. In our case, or rather, my case, it was spring cleaning *DAMN* Yeah you heard that right, I actually helped to change the lights OKAY?! HAHAHA. Yeah. Had reunion dinner at night but surprisingly enough, unlike millions of chinese who eagerly waits for the clock to strike 6/7/whatever-time for their reunion dinner, I wasn't at all EXCITED/HAPPY because the highlight was definitely not reunion dinner that night but supper with my family @ the airport! HEHEEHE. Went to Swensen's for ice cream but it was OMFG packed. Scores and scores of people had the same idea as me WTF! :( We had to like order takeaways. Zzzz. Nevertheless, it was still FUN okay? HAHAHA.

14th Feb 09

Chinese New Year Day 1+ Valentine's day

Yes it is Valentine's Day but guess what suckers? I didnt have to bother myself with finding a date because apparently, CHINESE NEW YEAR totally killed any mood for Valentine's day! HAHAHAH. Thank god... ;) Yeah. So well, the usual party at home because my grandparents are living with us. Played mahjong at my maternal's grandmother house! :D HEHEE. This Chinese New Year was the first time we actually played mahjong and I totally enjoyed it ;) HAHHAHA. Watched 72 tenants of prosperity after all the visitings and had a jap dinner at sakae sushi, airport :D WOOHOOO. It was......... UBER FUN. Day 1 was smashing+ WTF COOL. HAHAHAHA :D

15th Feb 2009

Chinese New Year Day 2

Yeah well, Day 1 was awesome but Day 2 was not only awesome but awesome -.-""" HAHAHAH! So yeah, woke up uber early to go to the temple for prayers and we went to Sentosa, RESORTS WORLD! HAHAHAHA. Second time there but it still held my breath :D I cant wait for universal studios fully operational! HAHAHA. Yeah. Caught a movie, True legend with cuzzies at night! My nose bled buckets of blood during the show and I ws like.... NOT NOWWW! ARGHHH! >:( Had supper with cuzzies at some random indian stall after the movie. Did not eat anything cos I was totally worried about my noseeeeee! LOL. I was so damned scared it would bleed again -.-""

16th Feb 2009!

TODAY!

LOL. SERIOUS STUDYING.... NOT!!! RAWWWR! HAHHAHA.

Gymed+ tried to study! HAHAHA! HEY!!! I tried to okay? Had dinner at Jack's place with my family ;)

CHINESE NEW YEAR 2010 Was totally awesome. Yes, I loved it soooo much and I hope tht time would really freeze and that the fun would never stop but sadly.... This is not how things should be.... I have exams next week and I must put in my 110% effort. Enough of ang pows, enough of play... Its time to............ IDK.... WORK RLLY HARD! HAHAHAH

Cheers,

Eugene

2010-02-11T23:08:00.002+08:00

CNY mood is starting to kick in. Im totally all for rest and no work. WHY OH WHY must exams be so close to CNY?! I wanna study but I cant. I wanna play and YES, im off to some random place hanging out and chilling with frens. Zzzz

It doesnt help that this i-need-a-rest mood is always on my mind! Im utterly disappointed with some of my tests and project work results. I could HAVE DONE BETTER. I really could have done WAYYY BETTER and I know it. Right now, I hope i wunt regret after my sem exams but still.... IM doing things which would make me regret later on.

WUNNERFUL WKN + THE GREAT RESCUE PLAN

2010-02-08T00:01:00.002+08:00

The weekend was really great. Moments to share and keep, moments of joy ;)

On sat 6/2/09,

Plane-spotting @ Changi beach. It was totally awesome. Planes galore for that day! It's really sad that I missed the air show but im more interested in commercial jets. Fighter jets just don't appeal to me! Hahaha.

Yeah... The sounds of the planes taking off are still fresh in my mind. The sound that goes, "WOOOOOOHWHHWHHWHWWHHWHW" is the sex man! ROFL. Sorry for being totally retarded alright. But I guess its perfectly fine for me to indulge in my hobbies once in a while ;)

Sun, 7/2/09,

This entry is posted after 12 MN so the date will be recorded as Monday, 8/2/09! Arghhh... Whatever! But today/Yesterday was a party day?! LOL. Grandfather's birthday cele in the morn+ aft and reunion dinner with mum's side @ night!

I tried my hand at playing mahjong today! Totally cool and mad fun! HAHAHA!

Enough of fun, let's talk about my GREAT RESCUE PLAN.

Right... Im supposedly lagging in my revision... I need a proper flight plan to pilot myself for sem exams!!! I intend to finish crim + tort + Lsm revision by the end of the week. So which means I have a couple of days to get started and done with my revision. CNY week is gonna be PARTYYYYYYYYYYY so IF U SEE EUGENE QUEK ONLINE, PLEASE ASK THE DUDE TO STUDY FOR HIS EXAMSSSSS!!!!!

Alright. That's pretty much it. Cya all soon

CHEERS,

Eugene!

Finally

2010-02-05T01:21:00.002+08:00

The end is far from over. Its practically the beginning- the start of the craziness which is soon to set in. I will be bogged by exam preparations in the coming weeks. Will be exhausted, tired and totally overwhelmed with fatigue! :(

But i need to keep pushing on. The final lap for my freshmen year! HAHAHA.

Im looking forward to my March Holidays! I just wanna experience the slack and free lifestyle I once had.... Escape to my very own utopia where work and school cant find me ;) HEHEHE. Right. Ruined a couple of papers. I've gotta put in much more effort into my schoolwork if I want to achieve my goals. My standards are high no doubt but it is only when you aim for the moon would you fall amongst the stars ;) Hopefully my report card this year would be one glittering with A's :D

RIGHT, WTF... Its 1.30am and Im blogging instead of sleeping. FML.

NIGHTS

Cheers,

Euegne ;)

Donkey Years later.....

2010-01-26T22:27:00.003+08:00

Well I must say that my blog has been abandoned for the past few... weeks? Days? Idk. It reeks of ancient ruins... Or maybe not.

The past few weeks, (i figured it was weeks) have been crazy for me. Im not saying that things arent crazy now but my workload is certainly way lesser than what it was 2/3 weeks back. I survived on like what, 4/5/6 hrs of slp a day? LOL. And on last Saturday, I had a test in the morning. Like WEEE... there goes my precious weekends! LOL. But I watched legion with bestie after my test...... It was blasphemous as how some would put it but I personally thought that it was a pretty exciting show ;) Definitely worth your time...

Im just glad that crim law is overrrrr.... So's econs. Im left with CDS & LSM presentation. 2 more to go xD

Anyway will update more when I have the time eh?

And.... I went to the airport for two weekends consecutively ;D Awesome right? Hahahaha.

Cheers,

Eugene

2010-01-16T14:35:00.003+08:00

Im worried that I may have wrecked everything.

I hope nothing has changed. I really do :X

When will things go back to what it used to be?

I HOPE PRETTY SOON!

EUGENE

FML X 1000000000000000000000!

Love

2010-01-09T23:16:00.003+08:00

Perhaps I never really experienced it before.

Its the first time I ever felt it- Love.

I never knew how it started. It was a gradual process. Everything happened bit by bit. It wasnt overnight but rather.... Over a period of weeks and months. :X

Im living in so much pain because Im totally clueless of how she feels about me. She might see me as just a friend, a good friend or maybe even as her best friend but yet... there's still this lingering possibility that she MIGHT INDEED have feelings for me. What are the odds? 99.9%?

I dont know how am I gonna let you know my feelings. But if I do, what will happen? Will u hate me? Will you avoid me? Or will you reciprocate my feelings? I now understand what is a one-sided love. Its really hard. You try to keep up the pretense of not liking her but at the same time, you are burning to see her :X

I never truly understood what Love is. Neither did I take the time to understand it. But now it seems like its knocking on my door and I cant sweep it under the carpet anymore. I either make it or get washed down in history- her history that is.

+++++++++++++

Watched did you hear about the Morgans today! Totally hilarious. I've got shitloads of homework to do man. I had better stop slacking. OH GOD.... I CANT.WAIT.FOR.SEM.HOLIDAYSSSS!!! :X

Cheers,

Eugene

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!

2010-01-08T22:43:00.001+08:00

I knew this was going to happen. BUT I never knew I would actually enjoy the process.

I was busy for this week. TOTALLY. But then... It was for a worthy cause.

British Council lessons have started and I think it's pretty cool. I might be the youngest in the class but looking at things positively, Im suddenly thrown into a mature setting where conversation topics are no longer focused on the Wondergirls but on Travel etc etc. So yeah, I do kinda enjoy it. Hopefully things remain the same.

Alright. On Wednesday, I met a friend of mine I've been chatting with for quite a while online. The time and place was all wrong but nevertheless, I wanted to make a really good impression on her. I thought of standing up when she comes and pull out her chair for her before she sits but when she arrived, I was tongue-tied. Nothing of what I planned was carried out. In fact I was more of a schoolboy meeting his teacher......................

All I could manage was an awkward "Hi." She sat down on the opposite chair and a voice was screaming inside my head,"U DUMBASSS, IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT!!!" The next thing I knew, we managed to carry off quite a comfortable conversation and things started falling in place. I managed to chat with her for quite a while before going to the British Council for lessons.

Watched Treasure Hunter today. WRONG CHOICE. Wasn't nice AT ALL but Lin Chiling made up for the lousy storyline. HAHAHHAAH ;)

Nothing else.

Cheers,

Eugene

Too tired.

2010-01-05T23:09:00.001+08:00

Im tired not because Im studying hard or anything. It's just that Im up online till the wee hours of morning :X Really really bad. I think I should start adjusting my sleeping time back to 11pm. :D Just like a school kid!

Swam today! Nth much for me to write just that.......................

NOTHING!

LOL. Okay im pretty tired.

CHEERS
Eugene

FIRST 2010 WEEKEND :D

2010-01-02T23:41:00.002+08:00

The start of an event, year or whatever occasion always gives an indication of whats to come next. The first date counts-A LOT. Which is why people always emphasise on first impressions.

Nope, im not talking about the start of an event for this blog entry. Not so much of a date either, unfortunately. RATHER, IM TALKING ABOUT THE START of the New Year.

Even if it isnt a cool start to the new year, I HAD TO MAKE IT A COOL START ANYHOW because a good start definitely gets your energy, adrenaline and morale pumped.

DAY 1,
1/1/2010

HI BITCHES, its the start of a New Year! FCK YEAH BABY! We're gonna rock the house with totally cool events lined up for the day!

Watched Bodyguards and Assassins with my family. It's a pretty cool show guys. You all should watch it. Trust me ;D Went home to watch Mulan with my family before heading out to parkway for dinner! HAHAHA. Okay it sounds pretty much like any average day but point is, I spent it WITH MY FAMILY. Any family time is precious time to me and spending an entire day with my family on the start of a new year is totally AWESOME! HAHA.

DAY 2,
TODAY............................

I woke up with a thousand tonne weight in my mind today. LSM, Crim Law, Econs project..... ALL THESE PROJECTS made me really really unhappy early in the morning albeit outing plans with Daren.

Finally managed to sell off my crumpler for a pretty neat price :D Hope you like it, Daren. ;D HAHA. Watched OLD DOGS today. It made me laugh so hard and its the FIRST COMEDY of the year that I watched! HAHAHA. YEAPS. Went over to airport for dinner at Pasta De Waraku when I received a call from Rach asking me to hurry and send my LSM work to Glenn. Totally spoilt my outing mood man :X But yeah... I guess that's it when you dont want to do your work early.

Bused+trained home in a hurry to get my LSM work done. AND ITS FINALLY DONE ;)

OMG OMG OMG... Blackboard is down. IM really really hopeful for the New Year :D HAHAHAHAH.

CHEERS,
Eugene

2009- THE GOOD and... THE BAD

2009-12-31T21:39:00.003+08:00

Well, I said in my previous entry that I would do a really really big post to end 2009 and here it is.

2009 started off pretty well. A huge bang.

And IM GONNA MAKE SURE IT ENDS WITH A BANG too! So far, the going's good! HAHA.

You can read my blog entry a year ago when I ushered in 2009 here. Time practically flew by. Im serious. It seemed as if it was just yesterday when I was a fresh kid out of Secondary school, eagerly awaiting for my O level results.

When the long hand of the clock touches 12 tonight... 2009 will evaporate like a dream. Everything that happened would be a thing of the past. Whatever eventful thing that had happened will go down in history books and nothing more.

2009 was eventful. Way too eventful for me. So where do I start? LOL.

Well I started working in the early months of 2009 even though it was a mere 3 days. I went to.................. KOREA for holiday. I met my awesome classmates at tp. Made a few firm friends :D *which im thankful for* haha.

Indeed 2009 was a really memorable year.

I hope that 2010 would be just as wonderful as 2009! ;D

My New Year resolution this year is pretty simple- I want to be 180cm tall! HAHA.

I know its hard. Im trying to squeeze out a couple of cms more! ROFL! I feel really really short :X HAHA. YEAPS. But most importantly, I thank god for all the blessings that he has given me and my entire family in 2009. I pray and hope that he would continue to bless us 2010 (:

Everyone out there, EUGENE QUEK wishes you a blessed happy new year ahead alrights? (: Have fun. Work hard and play harder :D

========================================

With each passing year, I grow up and become more matured. I never felt like this for a girl before. Im so infatuated with her and I just want her next to me every single day and minute of my life. I hope that in the coming year, I'll be able to handle relationships well and not bungle every romantic relationship I had. I pray to God that this time round, IT WILL WORK OUT.

Stranger, I Love You. Its an endless aching need that I have for you. We'll be together. I just know it. It's only a matter of time.

Felt like blogging.

2009-12-31T00:49:00.002+08:00

Okay im up at 1 am blogging. WHY?! Cos im a slacker. Instead of doing my projects, im on here slacking. My mentality for tonight or rather morning is... "Slack now, worry later." Yeah right. More like, SLACK NOW, WORRY A ZILLION TIMES AFTERWARDS! HAHA.

Went gym and did the usual routine.... BUT.... I just checked my fat composition and its a mere 10.1% ONLYYYY!!!! HAHA. It dropped from 13.1% last time. Im aiming for a fat composition of like.... less than 3? I think its possible... Train for a few more years perhaps (EUGENE STYLE= Go once a week or not at all!)LOL...

Meeting bestie tmr. I cant believe it... Im awake on the wee hours of the last day of 2009. Im gonna do a big big big blog post for tmr! Trust me! HAHA

So well CYA all peeps.

LOOK OUT FOR TMR'S POST.

2009-THE GOOD AND THE BAD :D HAHA!
coming your way......

CHEERS,
Eugene

SO CUTEEE!!!

2009-12-29T23:50:00.001+08:00

Alright. Whatever plans I had yesterday was burnt because I was too tempted to watch ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS!

SORRY BESTIE! :( Will meet ya on thurs alright :D

Went to meet Daren at Plaza Sing right after watching this Korean comedy at home which had me in stitches.

Had high tea buffet at Lao Beijing. WTF, their service standard dropped to an all new low and unless they slash their buffet prices to 2RM, im SO NOT GOING BACK THERE AGAIN.

+ Their food is really really salty. Too salty for the likes of me :X So yeah.

Watched Alvin and the Chipmunks aft our buffet! YAY!!!That show was super cute. HAHA. Esp the chipmunk voice. HAHAHA! IDK why but under normal circumstances, I would find such a high pitched voice annoying and to a certain extent disgusting. But it was not so this afternoon. LOL. I guess THE CHIPMUNKS ARE REALLY CUTE ;) HAHA.

Went over to Levi's from Plaza Sing to Raffles City trying to spend my birthday voucher but I couldn't find anything I liked:X I thought I would buy a Levi's watch but I think its not worth it cos its like a watch with the word Levi's stamped on it >:( Guess I'll get that shirt then. LOL! ;)

YEAPS. Had dinner at SHOKUDO. Rosti!!! I so missed my Rosti. Havent had it in a long long long long long long long long long long long while :D

Wasted the night walking through citylink mall to Marina Square and back to the MRT. ROFL. Guess we're too free? NOT! Still have proj. meeting+ tort law consultation tmr. GRRRR.... WILL DEFINITELY HIT THE GYM TMR because I need to shed those extra kilos before New Year's! HAHA..

CHEERS,
Eugene

Im glad its over.

2009-12-28T23:45:00.002+08:00

The sequence of events that happened today thrilled me to seventh heaven of delight.

Client talk is over. A huge ass load off my mind.

Econs result wasnt that bad.

Damn... Im ecstatic today! ROFL. But I must not rest on my laurels. The semester is far from being over. In fact, its just the beginning! Gotta continue working hard :D Im sure I can do better, better and better. :D

Think im gonna pop by and meet bestie tmr. He just had an operation or whatever. Im gonna get my ass over and find out what the heck is happening to my best friend!! Zzzz. Sorry buddy, was busy these few days.

PHEW. I wish today will stretch longer :X

CYA PEOPLE

Cheers,
Eugene

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

2009-12-26T23:10:00.009+08:00

Before I go off blabbering about what happened during Christmas and the days leading up to it... Let me first wish ALL readers and friends out there A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Alright.

Christmas Eve 23/12/09

Started the day with LSM meeting at rach's house and it proved to be surprisingly unproductive. I thought that it would be a pretty long drawn affair because we HARDLY started on anything but nope... It was a pretty short meeting and 90% of the time, we were chattering away instead of working on our proj. work! LOL.

Went over to Sakae Sushi for High Tea buffet with Daren after my LSM meeting. I guess we are all getting sian of Sakae Sushi's buffet because the menu dosent change at all and we keep eating the same old food! LOL. Watched Sherlock Holmes at J8. It was FREAKING FUNNY && NICE. OMG. I <3

CHRISTMAS DAY, 25/12/09

Okay so Christmas Eve was fantastic. Smashing and Bang balls cool! But wait... ITS CHRISTMAS today! Alright... It was a rocky start on Christmas day because I got scolded early in the morning but it didn't get me down. Because how can anyone NOT feel upbeat when its Christmas day?! HAHA.

Yeah. Shopped at Parkway and went over to Grandma's house for Christmas party! YAYYY! HAHA.... And omg...

The song, silent night is on repeat on my playlist. Im addicted to that song! It calms my nerves and somehow, transports me to another place and time. IDK where but the scene in my mind is a really dark, cold place. Winter season perhaps. And im sitting on a huge red armchair, lying back, in front of the fireplace with the radio playing 'Silent Night' as background music. GEEZ! I wonder when can I ever experience this scene! ROFL.

Boxing Day, 26/12/09

Today was the REAL BOMB! HAHAHA! Went to watch Cirque on Ice! It was fascinating. It got my eyes transfixed on the stage. Those performers could ice skate better than I could walk! HAHA! Yeaps. Ended the day at Raffles City's Thai Express. Went there for dinner and got myself a pair of outing shoes! WOOHOO! YAY!! "V"

Now that the festivities are over, I have to get myself back to studying and projects mood. This semester is totally hardcore man. ROFL. Its like diamond hard kinda hardcore. ROFL!

Once again, wishing all out there a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

CHEERS Everybody!
Eugene

P/S: If you noticed, I used green and red for this entry! Colours of Christmas! :D
