Early Xmas Greeting.

I'll be spending my Xmas in Japan this year. In fact, I always happen to spend it outside in Spore, in Sentosa, Bangkok, JB.. and this time in a really cold place where I can get the chance to see snow perhaps.


There is also a Xmas tree at our office entrance too!!!

Some food for thought. Xmas is also a day for showing love and care for yr love ones and to those less fortunate. From here, I shall end here with a XMAS greeting card..




MERRY XMAS!!! Dun miss me too much char?!! I'll come back with lots of presents for u friends!!

Secret ~ Ayumi Hamasaki's 8th album



Bought her album last Sat. Nowadays her CD comes with a DVD with music videos and making of the clips.

As usual, fancy clothes, wigs, hot dancers but this time, sexier, bolder .. oh yes, alot of "bling bling".
Watch out for her "Jewel" song, I do think the title "Diamonds are the girl's best friends" suits that better.

It comes with a free poster too, so I pasted at my bedroom door...

very nasty thoughts..

I happened to see a person post this message "Hello, pls help me" in one of the forums I've visited. It was a message from a 20+ yr old boy asking for a job in 2D, 3D illustrations. He mentioned that he has just finished NS and without any cert but an O level only. On asking us to visit his blog, what amazed me is how he described himself;

"Very lazy but have passion on digital art, dreaming of one day to rule the world in the media industries meaning pro in animation , 3d and 2d , and also master in photoshop , can do anything with it."

This is pretty contradicting. If you are lazy, how would you have the passion on digital art? You are just building castles in the sky and dreaming of successing without hard work. Honestly, I think you are just a dreamer. In his blog, he kept complaining that he "drew until his eyes pain" when he looked at the screen for a very long time, as if he wants to get some compassionate marks from people. Perhaps, he just wants some kind soul to pat on his back, praise him on what he did or even give him a job.

Probably you would just relate me to the "Elite Girl" saga whom she wrote in her "uncaring" blog, criticising about Derek Wee's opinions and anxieties on reaching 40 yrs old, worrying abt whether he can still keep his job. The poor girl has been unfortunately slapped by people on her personal statement and being treated as arrogant RJCian, elitist.... and those "fans" of hers are posting her bikini pics, G-cuppers all over the internet.

Anyway back to the little's boy's dream abt becoming a successful illustrator. I once had the same "passions" that what he have now, but I worked hard. Yes, if you mentioned, doing free illustrations, comics etc. Time passed and on realising that those were not my strengths, I decided to focus on what I should head for a more satisfactory and beneficial term ie, earning myself a Degree. Passion, yes, it is a great feeling when you are young. But you still got to eat, you still got mouths to feed.

As the saying goes; Know what yr strengths are, dun talk abt yr passions, work on it!!! Last but not least, I wish the boy find his dream job soon.

EXAMS over.


Yar, 3 open book papers and 1 closed book exam.


I had been carrying my 3kg dictionary for 3 days of examinations consecutively. Feeling sore and numb after carrying, need to buy a light-weight version for the next semester perhaps.


How did the exams go if you asked me? Honestly I really dunno. It did appeared pretty smooth throughout and I did attempt all questions. Because mostly are open book, everyone could be copying the same answers from the text. I wasn't sure about the Urban Planning module cos dunno what marks and what standards Belinda will be giving. She is a very weird lady.. appeared to be smiling but she is marking so stingily behind yr back.

Anyway, other than preparing for the Japan trip, i changed my hp for nokia N73. The Carl Zeiss lens of the cam phone is really god-sent, sharp, precised and the phone fits perfectly in my old phone pouch.

Here's some shots from N73. I am still trying out the functions, esp the different lighting modes.



My "Bible" used almost everyday at work



One rainy afternoon after Pro-Com Examinations



Exhibition at URA Gallery, notice the "stars" on the ceiling?



Alfredo Spaghetti I cooked over the weekends, looks like I'm the only one eating....




Casual chess playing

Not forgetting, it has great video capturing functions too!!!

Long time never post something cute..

Sue me!! Hee!!!

here's some quickies..

Exam Dates

Fri morning ~ Pro Com ---- Boring
Mon morning ~ Urban Planning --- I just hope Belinda won't ask tough questions and questions she only knows how to answer
Wed morning ~ RE Valuation --- Need to practise hard on the calculations... did i say i hate valuations, bec I always punch wrongly on the calculator?
Fri afternoon ~ RE Society -- Just bluff yr way through..


Just received the news that Public Service is receiving 2.7 x bonus this year...


yippeee.. :) I feel GOOD!!! No wonder no one want to leave Public Sector!!

Harajuku Girls vs Sailormoon

Saw this clip over at you.tube.com. Gwen Stefani sang her version of "Harajuku Girls", which shows Americans invasion into Japanese music market. This clip really brought back alot of fond memories of one of my first collected comic series, "Sailormoon".






Anyway, enjoy the clip, esp on Sailor Venus's unintentional flashing of her white "pansu" when doing backflips.

No Govt Day~

Felt extremely lazy and tired today, not bec it is Monday blues. Mr Elite is not in, DD is not in, D also not in. So, basically, today is a "NO GOVT" day.

Before DD left for his overseas visit at Qatar, he asked me to water his plant everyday. If the leaves turn yellow, he says he will "come back for me".. hehe... sometimes he is really like my ah pa, abit naggy. Yah, I admit I do like to argue with him alot, but overall, I do respect him as my Boss.

There is one time I was pretty upset and pissed off by his statement. I spent so much effort in doing up 3 plans for the presentation but he expected something more. When I tried to tell him my constraints, he sounded impatient and said "I really got no energy to argue with u, what's so difficult in doing this way??"

I felt as a leader, even you think you are right, you should also try to listen to yr subordinate's point of view.

I was sobbing quietly after this, I think he did notice that while i was grabbing some tissues and blowing my nose at my workstation.

2 days after that, I came to him to remind him of a certain meeting, he asked me how's the drawing and how was I getting on. Guess he felt that he had been tough on me at that spur of the moment.

The fact is I am not plainly upset by what he mentioned, but also all those stress from assignments, projects and coming exams. School work has also added the impact to my emotions lately.

I was wondering whether will he get a gift for me there?.. haha.. fat hope :p

That's me in my new workplace. A humble yet tedious position in the big civil servant line. Other than doing plans from my overloaded pc using Photoshop, there are endless emails which I have to clear everyday or else I will hit the limit and will be given a warning. Have to fill in the time-logging too, so they will know how much man-hours are spent on each project.

Other than drawings, photography, detailings, information seeking, I also have to do PA duties for DD in arranging his calendar and remind him of certain meetings. Life is tough and everyday I just dun feel like working. But with helpful colleagues nearby (no.. not that asshole who always ask me to do things for him and never helps me in return. He is quite an elitist actually, vain and selfish too!!), I still perceive the hope that one day our section will perform well and do ourselves proud.

The same problem again..

Where's all my testimonials???

Friendster Admin got haywire again!!!

Asshole!!!!!!

I take back my word on falling for the younger guy mentioned earlier. He has a very steady girlfriend already (saw his friendster) and yet he dare not tell other people that he is already attached. Sometimes, I really find that he is like "da shao ye", asking me to bring things to him, this and that and he is also the type that will not lay a finger to help. If he knows you can do, he will push you to do and he reaps all the benefits.


He simply has this tendency not checking my work... if things goes wrong, he will say it is my fault because I did those my own without consulting him.

Hmm... maybe next time I should consult him on the methods to do instead... just pretend I dunno and take instructions from him.

He shall learn things in the hard way. heee hee...

Dead or Alive Extreme 2 ~ Maybe getting this brainless game soon.



Sue me for posting this clip here, who says ladies cannot see ladies. We too enjoy the right of seeing beautiful ladies too.

Btw, the b@@bs are too jiggly, more like jelly..

New stuffs..

No time to describe in details. Pictures say a thousand words, nothing can beat the feeling of getting new stuffs and planning your holidays.

I like the Hari Raya Puasa theme especially :)

The MRT sucide case that happened recently make me ponder over the amount of poverty in Singapore. Putting such signages doesn't seemed to stop this. Sometimes, we do not really need things to happen then lending a helping hand. Of course, there are donations around asking help, but do all these donations ended up with these people?

Hasn't been feeling alright these days, been sleeping late and not enough rest. So what's the point of working so hard when you fall sick and you get to claim only $10 from yr medical fees. (Medical costs are getting higher recently.)

My Brother told me " To gain something, you got to put in more effort." Give more, you naturally receive something in return in future. I tried to be nice in work but it seemed pple are just taking things for granted. I can no longer differentiate what are nice gestures or what should be my duties. I only know there are some people in the office who do not really like my frankness and harmless remarks. So, it's still better to be humble than being frank or simply shut yr mouth even you know something is not right.

Sometimes I felt that I'm just not suitable for working life. Or simply, I can't be put into a cage of "graceful" people.

Bad mood days...

Recently, I've been sick, caught a flu and feeling restless. Missed 2 days of work and school and seen 2 different doctors, western and chinese sensei. Visited Chinese sensei bec I dun really like to take western medicine, it just makes u feeling groggy but bo bian have to visit to get that stupid mc (govt job cannot claim tcm issued ones).

How ex my medical treatment became and the most I can claim is max$10.

I hate being sick now. Really not fair.

Anyway, I find myself working too hard for nothing.

Then another sickening thing came, I received a call from Novena furnishing centre's delivery guy, he called me to inform that he is already at my house doorstep to send me the computer chair I've ordered last Sat without informing me in advance. It just happened that my Aunt and my cousins went for their afternoon swim at Tampines swimming pool. The stupid delivery guy complained that I delayed all the rests of his delivery (I think he is fasting...) and he said he has to deliver all before 6pm. So I told him to bring the chair back and deliver another day.

Being pissed off, I called the Novena furnishing centre and complained to them that the delivery guy is very rude. Gave me wrong handphone number and dare to argue with me somemore.... The helpful staff tried to call that guy to negotiate with him but he turned off his handphone..

Such attitude!!!! I wish him the BEST in HARI RAYA PUASA...

In the end, I can only get to sit on my new chair next Thurs.

Then just now, I received a call from one of my ex, he threw me a "pink bomb".
What liao.. wat a day. Anyway, I dun really consider to attend as we are no longer in touch and he sounded like hungry for some ang pows to cover his banquet costs.

Did I ever mention that I do not like attending wedding dinners????
