Slave's life???

2007-02-22T22:51:00.000+08:00

Think it's also about time for me to do some updating of my life. As mentioned earlier, had a new member in my family which is my cute dog. No matter how tired I came home from outside, it'll always wag its tail when I unlock the gate, be it in it's cage or roaming around, seeing this always light up my day one way or another.

Although Raoul has graduated from its class but then it still remembers some of the commands for off leash. Had wanna to train the dog to be multi-lingual but had not done so but then it's 2007 resolution that at least it can listen to mandarin commands and obey them. Haha... Think some might see this as ridiculous but then it can help to enhance its brain also.

Only worry now is how it's going to get along with my new born in time to come. To me, I do not foresee any problems but it doesn't seems so to others. Will train the dog and perhaps have some barriades to prevent the dog and baby(girl) from interacting and perhaps minimise any problems. Worst case I hope not to see is that the baby gal is allergy to dog's fur, else would have to really think hard what's the next step....

Will come in again soon and do some updating...

Been a long, long time since I last come online and blog. Been real busy with work and also family. Latest addition to my family in june is of course, Raoul. Been a super cute doggie as what a lot of people say, but also dunno if they just playing me along... Hehe... he been super good dog and best of all, he's able to graduate from his class. Though the last in the passing list (got 179/200) from the test, at least he's not as bad as what others might think...

In short, 2006 has been a super wonderful year with lots of experiences in life for me...

What's in store in 2007 is still unknown and we shall reveal them slowly as time passes.... haha

Just finished the most important event of my life and now it's onto the next stage of life which is to build on my career.

However, the most important day and event of my life cannot be done without the help of those "back stage" helpers like Mrs IRENE Tong, Chie Sing, Jieying, Qiaolin, Jean, Chuan Heng, Peiyong, Bear (Yong Sheng), Rong Kuan, Chee Chow. However not forgetting those brothers like Anson, Zhenhui, Kenny, Stanley and Steven. Last but not least, the one doing the video taping,liasing, etc: Lim Yi. And of course, some names which i cannot recall at this momnent as well. I'll not forget all the help that you guys and gals have rendered and we really appreciate it a lot.

Now being settled down, I feel that I've more time to do things which I had always wanted to do but have to give up first due to the wedding preparation, so now it's time to do other things already. Like what I had mentioned, it's also time to work on my career. This year all I wished is to be able to be confirmed and do the best in whatever I'm assigned. And of course to save up some money and hopefully can be a BOSS one day as well. Hehe... Will keep you guys updated also with some pictures from the wedding days....

Just seen a friend's blog and a sentence struck me " with an increment means more work"... Think this is 100% true. Even when there's no increment, don't see the work stops piling up as well. With deadlines all coming in fast and thick, wonder where do people in my occupation get the rest?

With a candle burning brightly in the begining, think the fire in me is dying soon. Deadlines come in with not much consideration of whether it's realistic or practical. Seems that most are just trying to fulfill their requirements of work which I too agree to certain extend.

Anyway with the wedding preparation coming in soon, guess that will keep me really busy as well. Hope to be able to enojoy during the holidays that are coming up soon.

Been super long time din come in here and do some diary (recording) of what's happening... Life been a mess: coping with work and personal life is real hard... New house also been a mess and it's real hard to tidy them up... Sometimes it seems not too bad an idea to find a hourly cleaner to do the job...

Read this line of late and found it very true: when i work nobody cares, when i rest, everybody stares... but are we working hard for the sake to show others??? Somehow in my opinon, most are doing this to climb up the ladders...

Hope to be able to clear up the mess in the new home by MayDay then ask those handsome buddies for some catching up... Realised that while all go to work, it's so much difficult to find a time to catch up except some occasions during late nite suppers.... Hahah... Think should find one yearly event and all gather together...

2006-01-30T12:51:00.000+08:00

It's been almost a month since i logged in and update on myself. Well, life been very hectic for me. Running around 2 houses (checking on the renov), work commitments, etc. Anyway this holidays seems to come at the correct timing for me to take a good long rest before slogging for the next 6 weeks before a short vacation again.

This CNY seems very funny. I don't seems to feel the celebration of much. Perhaps due to my tiredness? Anyway as usual the first day just go house visiting (or rather house hopping) and eating all the new year goodies. Also for the past 2 years, have been watching movies on the first day on CNY and this year, went to watch the "I not stupid too".

It ain't exactly that wonderful but rather whatever Jack has directed of late is much more closer to us. Thus it attracts a long crowd. Haha. Perhaps he can change his house after the screening of the movie. Went to west mall around 2045 hoping to buy tickets for 2115 show but the queue is too long and halfway the tickets are sold out and no choice, watched the midnite show.

Shall go back to do some work and hopefully can get it done by the end of this holidays...

2006-01-01T17:37:00.000+08:00

Been really a long long time since i last blog... Been quite busy also... ROM (both mine and attaneding friend's), christmas party and not forgetting the new year celebration.

Been thinking of a new year resolution but as usual will not have any this year. Perhaps the one thing that is always on everyone's mind is to make lots (in fact tons) of $$$. Practical right? Since everything in this society is talking about money (whether directly or indirectly).

Also with the house renovation on the way of completion, hopefully with the amount paid, the worksmanship won't be that bad. Also saw a friend's house and glad to say that his tiles are really good and unique. One word to describe it: Solid!!!

Well, me gotta start work soon and hope that in time to come I'll still have the time to come in and blog occasionally.

Anyway, wishing all a Happy New Year.

Been a long time since I last entried my blog... Been busy running around searching for cheaper and quite not comprising on the quality of light, etc for my new nest and it's really tiring... Imagine going to 5 lighting shops in 3 hours? Your eyes really see lights and stars...

Tmr going to be my solemization day and though looking forward to it, but dunno what problems will come up? As usual in army dayz, like what people say the Murphy's law... Hope all will turn out fine.

The next thing to worry about after this ROM will be the flat. Though all things look good on drawings, but somehow still dunno how EVERYTHING will turn out as a whole and hope that it's acceptable and like the latest word I learned: da zhong hua. One thing good is that my ID is very comprising and willing to accept new ideas from me and best propose me better ideas even though most of the stuff should be really... I also believe it's always a situation of give and take. People will give only when they take something from you as well. It's a 2 way traffic.

Will blog after my solemization. For those who attend the solemization, can leave your comments and let me hear them. See you guys.

Went for the photo shoot early in the day and all went well. Had the help of Stanley and his gf to help us out especially in the videotaking and some candid shoots and have to say that their works are good. Spend a good amount of money in just the parking coupons and Stanley mentioned that the amount I spent for the coupon for the day is more than what he had displayed for a month.

Went to Punggol to take the outdoor pictures and am pleaed to have the greenery and the beach, before heading to the Fullerton for some final nite shoots. Think all goes well for us and credit must be given to the photographer as he sure has "something" in him that makes us pay him... Haha...

Hope to see the photos soon and hope that the final selection of the "yellow pages" will not exceed our budget...

2005-12-06T23:03:00.000+08:00

Today went for the bridal fitting so that can take with the photo shoot 2 days later... Din really get to see what my wife-to-be will be wearing for the whole photoshoot. Thought the fitting today will get the chance to see all the dresses but what a pity...

Went to a few places to see where it's feasible for outdoor photoshoot and did not really find any place nice. Hope that the photographer can think of somewhere nice else it'll be at sentosa AGAIN as what everyone does.

Still dunno how to make the GPS work for me as in my handphone and will still try to make it work out... If anyone out there knows how to use the GPS for hw6515 can help me? hehe...

Tomorrow will send my car to do interior polishing courteous of onemotoring as I am the winner of the contest. Will see what differences it'll make as compared to what I have always been doing. Will spend some more money also to get the toilet accessories with my friend.

Trying to save money is not really good. Tried to save on parking and went to park at the HDB MSCP and kena fine $30... Damn it... Should have parked at JP instead... Am wondering if really saving money is good???

2005-12-05T08:55:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was quite a packed day for me though some of the activities ain't really that important... Went for paid community service work at 10 am for 2 hours. And as usual being an opportunist, I went to the Renault showroom and took part in a contest straight after that and guess what, I din win the car but got a cap for the lucky dip though and hopefully can win something in the lucky draw. Then I quickly drive to Akira showroom and drop in the contest form where the lucky people get their hands on a 20 inch LCD TV for the price of 80 cents... What's so bad about wasting 5 minutes where you can save money in case I am the lucky one???

Went to my gf's house for lunch and to my surprise, her relatives are there and I wasn't informed about it at all... (sobbing). Plus the sauce for the spagetties are bad, I dun like it at all and thus only eat that small amount of the noodles... Went to meet up with Anson, Limyi and Kenny for blading and I stayed in the beginners corner the whole session, must try to get onto the road soon and it was quite fun though some inconsiderate A******* are trying to perfect their stunts there and it's dangerous to people like me who can't really brake in them for them.

After that went for dinner with them and it was fun having plates of food in front of us till the beef noodles making everyone so full... Haha... Went home for the star awards and nothing unusual about the prize winners. However I noticed that Michelle seems to wear the same dress as she did for the shampoo advertisement unless it's slightly different...

Today is a holiday, but gotta go do a lot of planning...

2005-12-01T23:02:00.000+08:00

Today's just another day for me... Had a late night the previous nite and woke up at 8 am... Watched the dvd "The stepford wives" and come to think of it, it is real bad to be living with just robots though the ladies are really what most guys would ask for (maybe not?).

Went to Akira sales at around 3pm and saw the crowd there, am seriously wondering how come so many people are like me not having towork at such an hour? Bought 2 cordless phone though, one for my parents and the other for the new house as I think it is quite a catch and worth the money though the brand might not sound reliable at all... haha... perhaps it's really branding which is still important.

Till now, dunno what to do for the night, have several options though:

Go to Mustafa centre later around midnite.
Go and sleep and catch up on whatever I had missed out.
Go watch another DVD: the skeleton key
Last but not least, go and do some serious work.

Going to clean up my new house tomorrow and hope to see it clean the first time... Hope to spend the day happily with JP and see her doing more chores... Haha... afterall she also has to get used to doing them, right?

2005-11-28T14:26:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was at the expo and glad to say that the big boyz toyz ain't exactly boring... Was there 3 times for the past 4 days and one common thing among those days I went to is that the parking is damn crowded... But somehow still managed to find a parking lot...

The exhibition at Expo is quite interesting and at the big boyz toyz, some of the offers are quite good just that been spending so much money of late that need to control spending a bit and wait till bonus is here (hope that it'll be a big fat one) so that can finally buy some gifts for my parents and gf... It's been a while (i know) that I last bought them something...

Haha... Managed to arrange for a skating session on Sunday and hopefully can learn more of blading else the blades I bought is pretty useless to me... Must somehow find some time to pack up my room this few weeks and hope the new house can be done up soon, though whether to shift in or not is still in dilemma...

2005-11-25T23:07:00.000+08:00

Today is quite a good day to start with... After a good nite rest (of around 10 hours which i cannot remember the last time i had it), feels extremely fresh and start to finsih all the papers which i din had time to read them for the past few days.

After that went around the island to shop for some lightings, but none really catches my eyes. Either i had expected too much or really they are all some plain... Feels sian and tired from the day shopping even with my gf, not that she not a good company but perhaps all these searching is also tiring us out...

Had spoken to JP with this car, it seems to add both pros and cons...

Pros:

good and easier for me to commute to and fro work.
can go around the island to shop.

Cons:

with too much time (from taking public transport earlier), dunnno how to spend the time

One good news is that the TEKA people called me today and give me extra 5% off totaling 20% off... it's good... YEAH... tmr going to buy the stuff liao... hehe... Hope tmr i can spend a happy day with my dear dear...

2005-11-22T23:08:00.000+08:00

This morning's weather super nice to just sleep in but i decided that it's notthe way to spend the day... Haha... So after breakfast and reading of the papers (as usual), i went to iron some clothes so as to look presentable in work...

Ironing clothes is not an easy job as what others may percieved (especially doing guy's clothes)... took me a long time to just iron enough for this week... wanna go wash car but then the weather told me not to do so... Hehe... perhaps just an excuse to make myseld feel better....

Then most of the afternoon was just spending on the bed lazing and snoring away before finally going out to town to shop and spend $$$... Am surprised to see the crowd to go into John Little at Summerset, it's as if the shopping centre is giving free money to others... Haha... However i also join in the crowd and bought some personal stuff before heading back to JP and spend more money...

Tonite is the D day for my favourite club and i shall stay up and watch their fate... But i think they should be able to make it as they always tend to strive only under pressure which i find funny... Hehe... Hope tmr ICT day will not be so taxing on me... Not forgetting to meet my buddies from JC to spend more money... Hehe...

2005-11-21T16:47:00.000+08:00

Finally today theis blog can start already... but one bad thing is that my harddisk crashes... got some noises (in fact loud one) when it's runned... wondering if anyone knows how i can repair it so that i can still retrieve some of the data i need???

Anyway this week is the beginning of my holidays and hope everything will turn out fine... Good weather in the morning to sleep in, but i still have to drag myself out of the nice bed to send this laptop to toshiba for them to install something before i can use the recovery cd to load the windows XP...

Ordered the hood, hob and sink for my new nest liao... Wonder how it'll blend into the new house with all the renov done later... Will fill in more about the new nest in time to come... haha...

2005-11-10T21:36:00.000+08:00

Yesterday wasn't really the best of the week... Planned for some paid CIP but somehow forgot the check that there's actually a seminar in the morning... heng, i managed to reach school not so late though... hehe...

Anyway, went for coffee with a close friend till about 2 am and we had a good talk about almost everything, ranging from house renovation, work and life... haha... what an irony rite? seldom will u hear 2 GUYS chatting for so long...

2005-11-08T10:58:00.000+08:00

Man Utd 1 chelsea 0... that's a good piece of news i heard yesterday morning... Was watching that match till half way of second half and really though the goal is a fluke one but it destroyed chelsea's run of unbeaten games....

Anyway went to settle some work affairs and had a write a letter for the request and just wait for the news... in hokkien it's termed as "eat finish and wait for death"... haha...

Then as usual have to attend some NE stuff and this is real boring... isn't NE supposed to be in us and not to be taught and told? Anyway the trip to CDF isn't that wonderful and it caused me hell of a headache after that and i had to rush for my paid community work...

The only thing i did when i got home is to eat my dinner and go to sleep in less than 30 min after my meal... no one could have imagine the headache i was going through... ONE AFTER ANOTHER...

2005-11-07T13:04:00.000+08:00

Was told that this bloggint thingy wun take more than 5 minutes to set one up and put one log and it's true... For someone who's so lousy in England can also put one up easily... No wonder why students these days are able to blog so much on the net and anything that happens in school will be spread like wild fire...

Wondering: Is improving technology working for us or vice versa???

2005-11-06T23:17:00.000+08:00

Have finally email 2 topics to Mr Jeff and hope he's happy about it and i dun have to edit much... Been having little sleep of late and this morning just ain't the best sunday morning i had wished for... Hope to be able to deliver all the stuff on time as promised...

Slept for 4 hours and asked to waked up for nothing... then follow by lunch and then "community service" as usual... Finally got the chance to clean up the car as the interior is too dusty and dirty... but am damn dead tired after everything... and guess what??? Left my gf to do some work in my room while me sleeping away... just too tired...

Hope tmr will be a better day... Hopefully can change the school posting to somewhere nearer and not a demanding school...
