Sianzations

First disappointment this year...

2012-02-03T16:39:00.001+08:00

The job training was boring as expected. I stood almost 2 hours since 2PM at the roadside until I found another spot where I sat until 9PM!!! 7 hours of patient waiting under the Singapore weather but fruitless. OMFG!!!

The next day, which was yesterday, boss called to tell me that I missed the target. I was disappointed. I feel like I've left a bad impression for not doing my job well. He might thought I was skiving!!! Haiz... Nevertheless, he offered me to tag along with them for an overseas assignment to learn!! OMG what an opportunity!! I was excited but I should be flying to Hongkong today?! WTF?! I've got to turn down this last minute thing. I gave excuse saying that I don't have enough time to prepare because I can't find anyone to take care of Mimi. He was ok with it because he understands that this is really very last minute. I am disappointed again because I missed this chance, he assured me there's always overseas assignment to learn from. Actually the main reason for me not going because I don't have money!!! Even though everything is going to be paid for, but how can I go overseas with less than $100?! Sad... =(

I was looking at some photos from Facebook just now - a compilation of all the beautiful scenary around the world. I suddenly wish to go travelling around different countries with my camera. I hope this job goes well and I can earn back my camera again!!

Please let me dio Toto tonight!!!

Hate this feeling....

2012-01-31T15:11:00.001+08:00

Had a bit too much drink last night. Woke up feeling giddy. This is bad!!! I hate this feeling of getting wasted!! And almost got caught in a road block for drink driving! Wound down the windows immediately to get rid of the alcohol smell in the car when I saw the road block. Police stick his device in and asked me to say my IC to it. I said it real fast hoping it didn't detect my alcohol. LOL... Better not drink this much again.. Haiz...

Starting new job training tomorrow. I worry not being paid during the training. I was told I'd be paid but.... My boss seems a muddlehead... Anyway, I hope its going to be interesting...

Just visited my own blog with IE8 and saw the Snapzshots header is not displaying!! Though nobody actually reads here but it's annoying me now! WTF!! I'll get it fixed when I'm in the mood. Meanwhile, everything is working fine on Mozilla and Chrome.

Bad news is... Assluck haven't seems to leave me in the year of Dragon. Maybe all those zodiac predictions are bullshit. Maybe things will change slowly. I just have to presevere...

Good news is... I finally packed my room. Haha!! Everything's clean and neat! I hope I'm able to maintain everything and the bad luck will find here too clean to stay and eventually go away!!!

Chinese New Year Eve 2012

2012-01-22T10:58:00.000+08:00

I don't like this day because my parents are both home. I'm sure Mimi thinks likewise because he's been hiding under my bed whole morning. I don't fucking know what's so scary about. One thing about cats - no matter how trusting and close you are to them, in times of emergency or panic, they will run for their OWN lives. I wanted to make him feel better by letting him into my room and cuddle him in my chest, but he prefers under the bed. Stupid cat!

I haven't bought any clothes nor shoes for the new year. Luckily it's only going to be one day of visiting - tomorrow. Then off my parents go to holiday. Even if it's one day, I don't seems to find anything appropriate to wear because I haven't done laundry!!! =X

Anyway, Happy CNY! Huat ah!

3 days since the last blog. I only managed to tidy and cleaned the TV cabinet! Bleh! Ok.. Not another haven't-done-spring-cleaning confession.. LOL...

I just finished reading a friend's blog. She's my colleague at the pub. I'm not here to talk about how chio and sexy she is though she really is.. =) She wrote about her life, not the saddest in this world but its bad enough for anyone to go through. I didn't go through the same kind of life like her, but somehow I feel that the things that happened to me makes me have the same emotions and attitude like her - depressed at times, yet braving through and looking forward. =)

This year I'll have a proper reunion dinner at 三叔's place on the CNY eve. Just like the good old days when they're living in the same block with us. Haven't had that kind of reunion dinner eversince they moved. The past few CNY eve we had food cooked by my father for praying, but they looked crappy so I didn't eat. This year at 三叔's place I would expect the standard steamboat with a spread of dishes. I supposed it still won't be the same as before because grandparents not around anymore.

Mimi has been very noisy tonight. Don't know what's fucking wrong with him. I hope he's just bored and not sick. I can't even afford his food now, not to mention vet!

Suddenly I'm blogging much...

2012-01-16T05:01:00.000+08:00

There's something about Tumblr that makes me wanna update for nothing. Lol... I must keep repeating that it's easy to use, it has a lot of cool themes and I can easily reblog interesting craps from others! At one point I almost thought of moving to Tumblr totally, but on second thoughts, better not. Tumblr is made for microblogging and I shall keep my long posts of personal rants away from there to maintain its coolness. Haha! So in future, personal photos and updates shall come here while the short updates, cool thoughts and interesting stuffs will be updated at my Tumblr! I added a crappy Tumblr feed widget at the side below my Facebook badge, will look for a better one when I have money. =)

As usual I need to confess that I haven't started with spring cleaning. What kind of boring life I have?! Same old news spread over few ~~weeks~~ months and there's actually people interested to read my blog!! LOL?! I was just told that we won't be expecting visitors this CNY because we shall all meet at my uncle's place this year. And for the first time in my life, my parents are going holiday on the 2nd day of CNY!! Does that mean that I don't even need to do spring cleaning?! Woohoo!!

Me Also Tumblr!

2012-01-15T04:44:00.001+08:00

I made plans to wake up early for consecutive 3 days to complete spring cleaning but (as usual) it didn't work out! Then I tell myself that I can do part of it in the night, not necessary in the day. But here I am blogging at 4:15AM and nothing's been done. Worse still - I'm feeling sleepy already... =X

Spent the past few hours setting up and exploring Tumblr. The interface is cool and I'm loving it. The iPhone app for it makes it easy to do updates. No, I'm not abandoning here. I'll still blog here. Tumblr is good for short posts of thoughts, single photo or quotes. I'm using a free theme, will try to do one personal theme (someday)... Hehe.. Check out My Tumblr here!!! And I just found out that you can ask me a question there and when I reply, it will appear as a post!! So cool!!

In other news, the server for my Project 365 is up. Now I have here, Project 365, Facebook and Tumblr to maintain. These should keep me busy. =)

Post No.288

2012-01-12T03:14:00.001+08:00

My Project 365 hasn't been updated for the past 3 days. Not because I stopped taking photos, but I had troubles uploading. I hope its only a short term problem on their server. Meanwhile I also do upload the photos to my facebook.

Took a bit of time to clean up on my blog just now. Although nobody really visit here but its for the pleasure of my own eyes. My to-do and wishlist is so fucking outdated since 2010. Removed the shoutbox since its not working anymore. Might think of something to replace the twitter section since I don't tweet! I prefer facebook. =) No intention of new blogskin yet, because I don't have the mood to do one now. What's the hell with me for cleaning up some virtual shits?! I should be cleaning my own room... I haven't start at all! Zzz...

Before I go... This is for the 70s and 80s who grew up in Singapore. =)

Happy New Year!!

2012-01-06T17:10:00.002+08:00

Ok... I'm 5 days late. Nevertheless its still my first post of the year. Got a MSN message left by Yeekiat. Thank you very much! Last year was disastrous for me and I wanna put it behind me totally.

This year, I'm looking forward to my new job. I hope to get back on track by mid year before I start to plan new things again. I shall talk about my new job next time. (Damn.. I'm actually going to work.. Zzz..) In fact, I'm already working - parttime at some pub. I'm actually enjoying myself there because I haven't been meeting new friends for years.

I started my own Project 365 - a photo a day. This is different from the Snapzshot column on my blog. I will definitely try my best to maintain it seriously... (Trust me one more time.. hehe..) I'll still be blogging here but that shall serve as another platform for daily updates. At least when I look back at the photos by the end of this year, I can reminisce the things I've done. =) May view it here.

CNY is coming... again... Zzz.. I'm actually looking forward to it, yet not... I'm not contradicting myself. I'm looking forward to get over with this damn rabbit year because its a fucking ass luck year for me, but I'm not looking forward to the CNY celebrations and visiting stuffs... Haiz.. And this means spring cleaning... I've got hell lots of cleaning to do... Anyway, I hope 2012 is a good year for everyone! =)

It's A Really Bad Year....

2011-10-26T12:24:00.000+08:00

Its been really long.....

I said I'd try to update here more often. Seems I stopped since the Maldives trip. Isn't a holiday supposed to refresh one's mind?! My life took a downturn after coming back from holiday. I'm experiencing the worst time of my life now.... I have no mood to do anything at all...

Feel like crying...

Feel like dying....

And suddenly I felt like coming here and pour my miseries... I'm very stressed out now. Too stressed and depressed to say anything more. Please let this be the worst and please let things get better.... Please.....

A Long Waited Getaway!

2011-05-15T07:04:00.001+08:00

Back from MIA again! =X

I should be blogging with excitement now but I don't know why I am not exactly in a mood to do so... Still, I have to do it before I forget all the details because I just came back from MALDIVES!!!

Finally a holiday trip after very long! Quite a few times I wanted to blog about the planning for this trip... Lazy, lazy... Now, photos make things easier... Never had so many photos in my blog post before... Enjoy! =)

Flying off in SQ in the morning... It's my DSLR's virgin trip...

Arriving at Maldives after some 4hours plus... Male International Airport.. Mah leh!! Not male..

Taking the airport transfer to the seaplane base... Practise snapping...

At the balcony of Angsana private lounge at the seaplane base.

Very comfortable reception at the lounge. Free cold drinks and they make use of the time waiting for the seaplane to perform checkin to the resort. Took a photo of us so that the staffs at the resort would recognise us the moment we reach there.

Finally got somebody help take photos of me... Not very pro but can't complain.. =X

Seaplane taking off.. Another 45minutes journey...

View from the seaplane...

Another view from the seaplane...

A video of view from seaplane and its interior.

It was quite stuffy under the hot sun in the seaplane. Don't think there was aircon inside but only fans. It got a little better when the temperature cooled after the seaplane ascend to the sky after a while. The engines were noisy but bearable for me. Views of the atolls and ocean were beautiful.

Finally that's our resort!! A lagoon seperates the main island, on the left,from the InOcean Villas on the right.

Seaplane landed somewhere in the lagoon on a small floating platform. That's the InOcean Villas where we stayed!

Very sunny...

InOcean Villas!! Totally InOcean because no beach!!

The color of the ocean!! OMG!!

It was a 2 minutes ride on the speedboat from the seaplane landing platform to the InOcean Villa. Checkin was done earlier at the lounge, so a buggy was already waiting for us at the jetty of the InOcean Villa. Drove us to our villa very promptly. They switched on all 3 aircons in the villa prior to our arrival and also have a CD playing some relaxing music, so we reached our villa feeling very refreshed and relaxed after the long journey.

The InOcean Villas corridoor...

Bed and fan...

Very big tub and its facing the beautiful sea!!

A short video of the room and our private deck.

A hammock...

Well secured...

Hammock over the ocean!

A daybed and private pool with an ocean view!!

View at the end of the pool...

My DSLR lens not wide enough to capture the beauty of the room, deck and scenary. It was really beautiful. So beautiful that I tried to do a stupid stunt by diving into the bed the first thing we stepped into the room. I sprained my neck... Zzz...

Some idiot...

Some koala...

Going to snorkel~

One of the crappy videos from snorkeling...

Visitors...

Act pro...

Act pro but not really pro... Slanted.. Zzz..

Took many shots still slanted... Gave up.. Zzz...

The Azzurro Restaurant & Bar at the InOcean Villas...

One of his good shots.. Made better with my editing..

The frontdesk with sunset behind...

The villas with back facing sunset.. Our's was facing sunset... More privacy unlike these...

The deck and pool lit up when the sun set...

All villas have roof access with deck chairs and sofa...

Sun gone...

We didn't take dinner on the first night. Reached there in the hot noon after many hours of flight and jetlagged. Test the private pool, practice snorkelling and explored the place. Later attended a short welcome drink party at the bar in the evening which we dozed off after that while deciding what to eat. Sleep will forget about hungry... Save some money.. Lol..

First morning... Sun rising..

Early in the morning camwhore!

Woohoo~

Breakfast buffet...

Hot sun.. Cold water... Windy~

Suntan or sleep?!

Weeeee~

Copycat!

Jetty at the InOcean Villa... There's boat transfer to and fro the main island every hour...

Faster shoot lah... My eyes can't open...

His anyhow snap... On the way to check out the main island...

Wedding hall...

Actually... I think it's not very practical for the normal people to hold wedding there. How can all the guests afford to go there?! Kaoz!! And the weather is so damn hot!!!

Copycat again!

His anyhow snap...

His anyhow snap again...

His anyhow snap and again... The Kuredi Bar at the main island...

This is where we nua and nua upon reaching the main island. It's only about 5 minutes boat ride from the InOcean Villas, but really buay tahan the hot sun!! The refraction of sunlight from the open beach was too painful for my eyes!!

Even my drink also sweat!!

Nua-ing inside the bar.. Sand filled floor...

He camwhore~

Not easy to find a tree to pose like this... Cannot miss!

His pose so unnatural... He scared fall down!!

Some ugly looking mermaid sculpture on the boat...

His anyhow snap...

His anyhow snap... He very proud of this photo... -_-"

2nd night's dinner... Forgot what's this.. Probably complimentary...

2nd night's dinner... Some smoked salmon roll with sour cream...

2nd night's dinner... Rack of veal...

2nd night's dinner... dessert...

There's also a soup which I didn't shoot. All these supposed to be the 4 course set dinner that is included in meal packages. We didn't pay for the meal packages before booking, so we paid 80usd for this meal. That's per person! Not worth!! Zzz...

View of the InOcean Villas at night... Total darkness everywhere else...

Hammock at night... Cooling to sleep in...

Corridoor at night... Its actually dimmer than this...

Walkway to the frontdesk...

I purposely show this photo larger to make sure you see the stars!!

Funboat ride... 60usd...

It was bumpy and wet!!

It was supposed to be a fun ride, but quite a torture for my sprained neck. The driver made it easier for my neck with less stunts. Probably missed out a lot of fun, but still quite exciting.

Cloudy... Rained a little before the last night...

Room service on the last night...

Tenderloin steak...

Lamb rack...

And also a tiramisu. All for 90 usd and that's enough to fill our stomach in the comfort of our own villa. No need for the 80 usd per pax of set dinner...

Housefly!!!

View of the main island from InOcean Villas...

Checked out on the last day.. Had massage and hang around for more photos...

Walkway to the frontdesk and jetty...

Main island jetty walkway to the frontdesk lobby...

Jetty at main island...

Rain covered main island...

Rain stopped shortly... Sunshine again!!

The seaplane parked in the middle of lagoon... Waited for us since morning...

Byebye InOcean Villas...

Had a short city tour in Male... Saw Tom & Jerry.. Coincidentally on a 1212 lorry!

Nothing much to see in the city... Anyhow snap some photos...

Photo by Mr Pro cameraman.. Zzz...

The stay was really a luxurious and relaxing experience. Comparing the InOcean Villas with those Beach Villas on the main island, I'm glad that I made the right choice. Before going I was already expecting the InOcean Villa to be fantastic, but seeing the real thing is even more spectacular. Its much more expensive but definitely worth it.

I strongly recommend anyone who is going Maldives to stay in a villa similar as mine. Don't bother to stay in the normal villas, it will be as good as just going to Redang or Phuket. I mean... If you have to get out of your villa to reach the pool, walk out to the beach for snorkeling or to enjoy the ocean, what's the point of spending so much money and travel all the way to Maldives? Some of the Beach Villa has its private pool but its normally built at the backyard of the villa which you don't get any view. Its totally different when you can swim in the pool and enjoy the ocean at the same time.

The only place not so convenient for us was getting to the sandy beach. There's nothing much to do at the beach other than camwhoring. Its hot and very glaring at the beach that we took cover and chilled inside the bar. So I think not staying near the beach is really no big deal. I can swim in my private pool with ocean view, snorkel right from my villa, sit at my balcony and enjoy sunset and 24hours sea breeze while using my laptop!! All conveniently inside the villa!! I recommend anyone to experience the InOcean Villa!! =)

P.S. stupid blogger rollback!! I had to re-edit this post.. Zzz...

Happy Birthday To Mimi and Meeeee~

2011-04-10T16:52:00.003+08:00

Its Mimi's 3rd birthday!!!
And its my 3......... 0th... =S

Finally Getting On It!!!

2011-01-08T13:27:00.000+08:00

I mean room cleaning... Let's do the time log thing again... I hope I can finish by today....

Earlier I put the clothes in the machine and I guess it should be done in a while... Cleared some stuffs and wiped the TV... Now taking ciggy break.. =X

12:15PM - Just finished the cabinet... Slacking now... Feeling sleepy...

Looking around the room.. I think I can't finish today... (because I feel like sleeping..) Shit... LOL...

1:16PM - Fuck!! I've been slacking!!! And I just threw some rubbish...

1:26PM - Buay sai liao! Sleepy!! Finish the mess outside the room and sleep.. Hahaha...

Good morning... I'm still coughing! Wtf!? But recovering a bit...

Been missing out on life... (I always do.. fuck...) Been waking up at night and stay awake till noon and cough myself to sleep. The weather should be good to many people, since its pretty cooling. I don't really enjoy this kind of weather especially when sick. Makes me more than restless and lazy.

Didi has grown quite a bit since the day I brought him home.. Here's some photos of him...

Mimi beo-ing on Didi...

Mimi is warming up on Didi...

Mimi tried to sniff him...

Didi sleeping on my bed after his meal...

Didi's tiny paw...

Didi doing a pose....

Look at his teeth!!

Didi so cute~

I HOPE I REALLY CLEAN MY ROOM TODAY!!!

Not Exactly A Very Good Start For The Year...

2011-01-03T03:39:00.000+08:00

Cough... Cough... Cough... Still recovering from the Christmas drinking.. Wtf!

Room as messy, mind as frustrating, life as boring... Now with new chore that is no fun - feeding Didi every few hours. Here's some photos of him.

Getting to know his surroundings..

Didi look like lil tiger!

The shy look...

Don't disturb!! Didi watching TV...

Hope Didi bring me good luck for the year...

Last Post Before 2010 Ends...

2010-12-31T23:44:00.003+08:00

Let's get depressed for a bit more.... Time Flies... Haiz.... =S

Looking back, nothing incredible happened this year... Just... Fucking LOTS of spendings... So, in the year of 2010...

I slept during CNY...
I bought my first L lens...
I started using iPhone...
I got an ukulele from Nicholas for birthday...
I had a somehow disappointed birthday celebration...
I bought rollerblades for his birthday...
I got summoned for driving OPC without day license...
I bought my first car...
I bought iPad...
I bought a Gucci bag while shopping for mooncakes...
I spent some thousands at the vet...
I did eyelash extensions...
I bought myself more toy cameras for Christmas...
I got lots of Christmas present from my idiot...
I GOT A NEW CAT BEFORE YEAR END!!!

Found Didi on Tuesday at my void deck... Wet and helpless... I'm currently fostering him. He needs to be kept warm and fed every few hours. I'm not sure if I can keep him permanently or able to find him a good home. Mimi that spoilt brat really hate Didi. Looks like no partying tonight because of Didi... Have a peaceful new year everyone!

Mimi Must Have Hated Christmas....

2010-12-27T05:11:00.000+08:00

Because I drank too much on the eve and slept the whole Christmas. At first he was enjoying sleeping beside me, then he realised it was terrible because he was starving like mad! Haha!! He chomped my leg everywhere to wake me up but got kicked by me! =X

Just got out of the hangover a few hours ago but falling sick now. Feverish and heaty throat... Not very looking forward to the New Year. My life is in a mess as usual, inside and outside. The bloody fucking room is messy like hell... I hope I get it done before weekend... Haiz...

Very Merry~

2010-12-22T21:49:00.000+08:00

It's not here yet but this year I have a fruitful Christmas because I've got lots of presents!! But suddenly I'm feeling a bit depressed because Christmas means New Year is coming again. What have I done in this whole year?! Haiz...

I ordered and paid for a Shootsac as present to myself. Ended up he offer to pay for it as a present to me.. Zzz... So, I chose another present for myself!! Hesitate very long because its quite pricely. As usual, I can't resist the temptation.. Haha!

New addition to my collection!!!

I love the packaging!

How cutely wrapped! The 932th out of 1000 limited pieces!

A White LC-A+!! =)

So happy!! Free express shipping for Christmas and it comes with a matching white leather case as well! Ordered on Saturday and reached here yesterday. Just after I placed the order online, my father gave me $500 as gift becasue he striked 4D!! So, even the present to myself is paid for! xD Also bought a DIY cardboard camera with it. I yet to fix it up. Intend to go Art Friend buy some wood planks, follow the pattern of the cardboard and make a wooden one instead.

The stupid Shootsac I ordered earlier than this with free express shipping but its still not here yet! And I have other presents! Monday went shopping and he bought me a mini rice cooker and a Armani Exchange sweater! Haha!! Many Christmas present!!

Post No.276

2010-11-11T03:49:00.001+08:00

I wanted to rant... Again... Zzz... But I ended up ranting in my heart and eventually got over it even before I started writing... The person whom you are supposed to find comfort with is hurting and pissing you... Then you have to use self therapy?! How miserable?! WTF! Ccb... Sibeh sianz...

Really Something New This Time...

2010-11-10T05:33:00.001+08:00

WHY THE FUCK a person with a DSLR has such boring blog?! Every post is just some plain text ranting about the same idiot and a stupid cat, reporting about laundry doing and room cleaning... (this person needs to get a life!) =X

I actually had things to rant about yesterday, but for goodness sake... Let's forget about it...

Today I've got new things to tell and also a photo... (Like finally!! WTF?!)

Took with iPhone... DSLR still rotting away...

Please... Don't bother about my eyebags ok!! I am showing my eyelash extensions!!! Woman of course must hiao a bit lah! Looks pretty like I'm putting on mascara all the time. Just nice for Ashlie's wedding this Saturday... xD

Me Really Wanna Get My Wardrobe DONE!!!

2010-11-04T08:16:00.000+08:00

I've been contemplating to make a new wardrobe since more than a year ago... But there's always something big for me to spend every month to hold back the plan... Buying camera, buying car and Mimi fell sick.. Kaoz... This month is car servicing.... Haiz...

Went to see a contractor on Sunday... Expect the new L shaped wardrobe to cost around $4k to $5k... Wah kaoz!! Back to contemplating again... I really hope to get it done before CNY... Zzz...

Room messy again.. Laundry piling again... Life sucks...

2010-10-22T05:36:00.001+08:00

忽然觉得偶尔该用中文写一下blog，因为刚才突然八卦一下，阅读了一位老友的blog而让我有了些感想。她是我小学及中学的同学，现在竟然当了小学的中文老师！我用“竟然”不是因为瞧不起她，而是我没有想过在我认识的朋友当中会有志愿想当老师的！

说到了她的blog，刚才读到了这篇她与学生的沟通方式。她叙述一段与学生的SMS对话，让我读了之后有一种黯然的感觉。是现在的小学中文水平提高了很多吗？还是我的中文水平退步了？我并不是不明白那段内容，而是觉得那用词及表达方式，虽然不是很深奥，但也算超越了普通的中文。

我曾经是一名中文非常出色的学生，用类似这样或更有深度的文采来写作和交谈一点都不是问题！不过。。。刚才读了那篇叙述，我发现这不是近年来的我可以轻易做到的事，令我觉得非常感慨。。。我所学的中文到底去了哪里？！这十多年来都是用英文上网聊天，偶尔写几个中文字都有电脑汉语拼音输入代劳，从未拿过笔在纸上写过中文字。现在要我写一句中文，我想差不多八成的字都忘了怎么写！认得怎么念，若是要我自己写，就想不起来了！嗨。。。

为了不让自己的中文渐渐的退步，以后偶尔用中文写写blog是一个好方法。这当然也是唯一的方法！现在的我，除了写blog，还会有什么其他的闲情写作！！！哈哈！

(我知道啦! "Blog"的中文称“部落”啦！"SMS"的中文称“简讯”啦！写blog而已嘛！So serious for wat?!)

Mimi is back....

2010-10-16T18:45:00.000+08:00

Ok... This is outdated news... Mimi came back since Monday. At first not pooping and moody. Now he's back to normal. I begin with a raw diet which the vet recommended. Initially he was eating, maybe starved too much in the hospital. Now he's starting to complain!! Bloody hell... Waste my money and the food... I don't care!! I'm going to starve him before each meal to make sure he eat no matter what.

With his hospitalisation and the feeding of raw diet, it kinda messed up my life a bit. Irregular sleeping and change of activities. I'm quite lost and restless these few days. =(

Mimi Is Sick!!!

2010-10-10T04:07:00.000+08:00

I came back from the vet quite a while ago. Mimi has to be hospitalised!! The bill was $812 just for today's procedure. Omg!! I have no idea how much the final bill will total. Maybe another $1k? Or $2k?!

It's not the first time he has trouble peeing. The last time I spent about $1k++ for scans and test. He looked very miserably in pain. The vet suggest a surgery to improve the condition in case of future occurance. Wah lau... See how lah..

Mimi please get well soon... Don't stay in the hospital too long because the bill is expensive... =X Most importantly, I MISS YOU!~

Again And AGAIN!!

2010-10-06T18:49:00.000+08:00

Not that I want to rant again... I just did yesterday.. I want to say, the same episode replayed last night! FUCKING IDIOT! DAMN! I felt so much want to punch him in the face and stab him a million times!! Ok.. Maybe no need for a million, since he would be dead before I even reach a hundred... BUT at least a few times really!!

Despite of the nonsense, I did have a considerably good sleep. Because Mimi was sleeping with me.. Hehe.. We hugged each other in sleep.. So sweet... But a few days ago I read a quote from someone's Facebook update that "If a dog jumps into your lap it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing it is because your lap is warmer." Wtf!? Means Mimi is just trying to take advantage of me all the times... Kaoz...

It's another boring day... I hope the week gets better...

It's Always The Same Fucking Nonsense!

Oh well... What brings me here? Haven't been blogging for so long yet I'm here now just because I want to rant... Haiz...

There's so much I want to complain, yet I'm so sick of going into the details. It's ALWAYS the SAME nonsense from the fucking idiot!! Don't ask me why I am still with him. I guess because I get pissed so much that I'm staying to get even!!! The fucking idiot who screw up everything in his life.

Long story short... Fucking retarded bastard ALWAYS promised things that he never do! Still got the fucking cheek to argue. Then follow by excuses which he think is explanation. Then apologise yet still want to argue and "explain". THIS FUCKING THING HAS TO BE REPEATED AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! IT ALWAYS HAPPENED!!!

Somemore still try to accuse me of being unreasonable for not giving him a chance to explain. FUCK LAH!! To me, it's not explanation at all! The moment I hear his fucking excuse, I'll shut him off. I literally scream at him to shut up!! Feel like slapping him. CCB!! If you always promise the SAME fucking thing which you ALWAYS never do.... AND the first moment, instead of realising your mistake, you try to argue your way through... THEN WHO THE FUCK WANT TO HEAR YOUR SO CALL EXPLANATION?!! AND seriously if you have to fail your promise like at least EVERY WEEK FOR FIVE YEARS, YOU STILL FUCKING HAVE EXPLANATION FOR EVERY SINGLE TIME?! CCB!! I DAMN SICK OF HEARING LOR!! THE MOMENT I HEAR HIM START THE FIRST FEW WORDS OF HIS EXPLANATION I REALLY DAMN PISSED!! Better just straight away show me that you are remorseful and apologise that's it!!!

The fact that this thing keep repeating really fucking piss me off A FUCKING LOT!!!! My vocabulary is pretty limited at this point but seriously, "IDIOT" and "RETARD" is NOT enough to describe him. CCB!! Sibeh tulanz!

Testing Blogpress With iPad

2010-09-17T02:56:00.001+08:00

Last week was bad!!! Budget for new wardrobe gone! The kind of worrying feeling came back after months. Now I have more commitment to take care of. Haiz... I'm trying to keep calm, focused and disciplined to get things back on track again.

Finally packed my room after many months of procrastination lol... Better make effort to maintain this... Things should get better after my father start work this coming November. I just feel uncomfortable to do my chores when he is around at home.

Ever since I got a car, people start to ask me for favour. Now I can understand why last time I always hear people lament about having to help or fetch who and who. I had my cousin come tell me that he need my car during his wedding. Then my godma out of the blue moon asked to fetch her this coming Monday. Well...

I Feel I Need To Blog, But I Don't Know What To Write...

2010-09-03T18:31:00.000+08:00

I feel like I am Ariel the mermaid. I have almost everything I want, but my life is still very... Sianz...

I have many gismo and toys. Recent new addition is the iPad. Hesitated quite long before getting one. Not exactly excited over it since I already have an iPhone and the two more or less function the same way. But the advantage of bigger screen, I find some extra uses with it. I can store all my piano scores in it and use it as display while practicing. Gaming and watching video become visually comfortable. Sketching and drawing also become easier with a big screen. Hehe...

So many distractions at home... I will never buck up and pack the room.. Haiz.. A lot of rubbish and clothes piling again... Sianzzzzzzzzzzzz

This Is Major Update!!!

2010-08-19T06:16:00.001+08:00

Finally the mood to do some updates because Mimi is back!!!! He went missing since Tuesday morning and I searched the neighbourhood day and night! At first I was not really worried thinking I'll definitely find him and all the articles I read online say indoor cats do not run very far because they will be too scared so they will find the nearest place to hide. But after two days of searching I started to feel demoralised and sad.

Hanzi came over to help me put up posters at lift lobbies just now in the night but had to rush off to work. I continued searching at 1AM again. Research says that's the best timing to search because they most probably hide all day and come out when it's dark and quiet. I extended the search area further in the neighbourhood. Was 4AM and decided to close shop. Coming home at the lift lobby downstairs I thought I heard a familiar bell ringing for a second!! No footstep sound, so can't be human! Must be Mimi!! There I found Mimi the stupid cat!!!

He could recognise me, didn't run away from me. Grabbed him and squeezed into the transport box which I brought along. Omfg... Then I had to go back to all the places to take down the posters. Zzzz... First thing at home was to bathe him!!! Now he's sleeping in my lap after his food. He must be very hungry and tired. At least... He's back home safely....

A lot of unnecessary stress over the last weekend as Jason suddenly finalised his decision to sell the car which I'm driving! He even got an interested buyer!! Kaoz!! To be honest, after so long I kind of enjoy the convenience of driving a car although I don't really go out a lot. But the thought of suddenly taken off from this privilege left me a feeling of handicapped. Zzz... So I decided to buy it.

Seriously, I can buy any car not necessary this one but I just feel I wanna continue driving this car. Everything was in a rush because the road tax and insurance was due to expire on Tuesday. I had to get my loan approved before everything because Jason was worried that if I end up not able to get the car, his buyer might back out by then. And so I went around enquiring and applying for a 22k loan.

At such superb timing the LTA summon finally came!! 4 offences at $500 each. Thank god that was the lowest amount they summon, but no thanks at a time I'm trying to buy car!! Applied for loan to a few places and got reply from Sin Thai Hin that POSB offered $19k. That was the highest offer I got then but I had a GE Money application pending through JV Leasing. I was eager to know the result so I called up GE Money directly. The customer service checked and told me that my loan was rejected, so I went ahead with Sin Thai Hin to process the POSB. Then the next day, JV Leasing called and said GE Money approved my $22k! WHAT THE FUCK was their customer service doing!!? They told me rejected!!! If they told me no result yet, I could have waited!!! Zzz.... That could save me $3k cash for other usage!! Nabeiz!! $3k cash top up, $600 transfer fees, $360 first installment, $1.7k insurance, $400 road tax, $2k LTA fines and other bills.... Knn I spent almost $10k this month... Haven't include parking, petrol, Mimi food, my food, ciggies and many other miscellaneous... Zzzz.....

Now every bad thing is over... Better make more money in the weeks and months to come... Haiz....

Here For A Breather...

2010-07-31T01:26:00.001+08:00

Taking a break from online shopping right now to blog... Heeeheeee....

I seems to have disappeared from this blog and Facebook and everywhere else... Been spending my time on the stupid maple game and have spent quite a sum of money on it. Zzz... Just a while ago I tried to distract myself from the game by trying to shop online!! Shopping makes women happy!!~ It's not going to hurt my pocket a lot, I'm only looking at some new applications for my iphone. =X

Last week I was quite tempted to get the new ipad. I kinda put off the idea already. Afterall my phone can do whatever it can do, I guess I won't be bothered to bring it around when I go out. Better keep the money for a new PC.

Now back off to window shopping....

Now...

2010-07-14T15:48:00.000+08:00

I am blogging because
Maplestory is having server check...

Yes I'm back to mapling because
Tri jio me to do so...

For the past 3 days I levelled
a whopping 20 times!!!

Of course I also spent on @cash and mesos
costing $300++!!

Since now the game server is down
I should be off doing chores...

Or maybe at least find something healthy to do
like reading or rollerblading...

But here I am with Tri online
waiting for the server to be up.. =X

We were discussing about the game just now... Which made me read my blog entries because I wanted to know when I last played the game... Then I realised how much missing chapters I have here.. LOL.. And also the changes in mood and style I had in my writings just for a period of one year... Time flies... Makes me depressed...

I'm better off find something more delightful to do...

Some updates...

2010-07-05T06:18:00.000+08:00

Just took a good look round my room... How come upkeeping never seems to end? I just did the chores a ~~few~~ weeks ago... =S

Other than that, life's been ok and finance's been good. Hope things don't get too rough when the LTA summon come! But I think before this, Mimi is going to squeeze my pocket dry!! He had recurring difficulty to pee. Yesterday was the 3rd visit to the vet already. Going again on Tuesday for ultrascan.. OMFG!!

Before everything settles, I got to stop spending for a while. Haiz.. I really wish to have a new wardrobe....

Shit!! Spotted!!!

2010-06-12T06:03:00.000+08:00

Arghh!!! Got spotted by the LTA for driving OPC without the e-day license... And not only one!! Its four within the same processing time frame!!! Argghhh!!! Last month had been terrible!! Kept forgetting!!

While other offenders probably worry about appealing for their single offence... Now I have to crack my head to explain on the four!! I was seriously forgetful and I don't want to cook up some crappy stories... Dare not appeal for anything but jus hope show leniency... Sent in my letter of explanation yesterday... Fingers crossed!!

New toys again!!!

2010-06-09T03:57:00.000+08:00

This time inline skates!!! Haha!!

Did I ever mention about skating before?! No but I always wanted to go skating at least once with him. In fact I wanted to buy us a pair of personal skates few months ago. Nevertheless borrowed Xta's and Tri's pair of skates last Wednesday to try beforehand. It was quite a fun session and he enjoyed it (even though he fell 3 times)!!! xD This tempted me to buy our personal skates even more!! And so it happened!!

Come to think of it, I've got lots of new toys in the past year but life has still been very sianz! I should meddle more with my toys... I've got to...

Take more photos with my lomos and DSLR...
Draw something with my pastel sets...
Play games on my ps3 and wii...
Learn songs on my digital piano and ukulele...
Read the many books I bought...
Practice more on my new skates...

But first... GOT TO TIDY MY ROOM!!! Zzz... The mess accumulated since I fell sick... Sibeh sianz.. Lots of clearing and tidying and cleaning... Zzzz...

Recover liao....

2010-06-02T21:59:00.002+08:00

Finally feeling back in shape. First was flu, then was fatigue. I swear it was really severe fatigue, not because I was lazy. It was so bad for the whole week that I couldn't do anything!!

It was everyday dizzy, nausea and shortness of breath. That few days made me suspect I might be suffering from some serious illness. When I got just a little better, bought some supplements from GNC... BUT!! KNN the tablets are so big I have difficulty swallowing. Zzzz.... Finally got over the fatigue attack then terrible headache. Fuck!! Anyway now more or less back to normal. I already told my mum to finish the supplements from GNC... LOL..

Moral of the story:
Don't buy supplements in enormous tablets form... Zzz...

Sick!

2010-05-22T12:10:00.000+08:00

Freaked out when I stepped out of my room just now. My father is cleaning the living room with a water hose. So many furnitures around!! My piano!!!! WTF!!! How can just wet the whole place when there's wooden stuffs around!! GRRRRRRRR!!!

Can't care too much because I'm not in a good state. Woke up and got rid of the fever and aches, but still sore throat and thick phlegm. Sibeh sianz.... =(

Haiz....

2010-05-18T06:44:00.000+08:00

It's 6:20AM and I'm eating mee siam.... New flavour bowl noodle from Myojo... Taste not bad, but I still prefer the tomyam.

Last night I was very sad and I cried. I was told Ah Gu is confirmed dead! I didn't see him for weeks. The last few times I saw him, he was moody and lost a bit of weight. He was a very loving and obedient cat. He would greet me everytime. I miss him very much! =( Such nice character, probably its better for him to end his life early instead of suffering as a stray.

I spent the past few hours playing Final Fantasy XIII... Earning gil is miserable!! Now back to the game.....

Post No.257

2010-05-14T07:53:00.001+08:00

I've been seriously neglecting this space..... (not the first time anyway...) =S

The Snapzshots column here is so damn outdated because I posted all of my snapshots to Facebook. Updated craps to Facebook instead of Twitter. =X I frequent Facebook these days though I stopped playing the games there. Those games bored me out easily. Sometimes I don't know why I am there many times a day just to see other people's updates. Not trying to be nosey but really sibeh fucking bo liao!! Just hoping to see some interesting photos or videos.

Things took a downturn beginning last week. Luck don't stay all the time. Tried not to go shopping but still money is flowing out. Income tax, bills and all the misc stuffs. This month's electrical bill went up by almost $100. I had aircon on most of the time. Damn weather!! Wednesday spent nearly $600 on new sink, tap and cooking hob for the kitchen. Fly money fly!!

Still playing the Final Fantasy XIII. Done a lot on the game but still seems far away from collecting all the trophies. I'm beginning to think that the developer is crazy!!! Lol..

Haven't been shooting much as usual. Here's some shot from yesterday...

Lazing....

And dozing....

Enjoying the bed more than me... as always...

And below are some shots from dinner at Peony Jade... Err.. Almost 3 weeks ago... =X

Roast Peking Duck

Pan fried Goose Liver & Lobster... Its overpriced!!

Deep-fried Prawn & Stir-fried Scallop

Oh this Pork Okos was recent Monday's dinner...

If you passed by the Botejyu restaurant at Liang Court, you'll see the chef cooking the okos behind the glass. I think they have a few branches in Singapore. Smells very nice but taste so so..... Maybe I'll try the seafood okos next time...

Some updates...

2010-05-03T10:45:00.000+08:00

April 2010 was a good month. So good that I forgot all about blogging... What craps?! =X I spent the days lazing at home mostly surfing, gaming and some punting. Seriously.. What's there to blog about?!

Just completed Final Fantasy XIII last night! Finally but just the main story. Still far from a 100% complete. What stupid developer to design a game with all the interesting stuffs that comes after the completion of the main story. Many people would find it meaningless to continue after the boring story ends. Well, for the sake of themes and personal achievements, I'm going to finish it. =Þ

I wish to go holiday~

29 Years Old...

2010-04-17T16:25:00.000+08:00

It's a week overdue for this post. Well... It's just another birthday... I know I don't seems excited about it. Anyway it's over... Not that I had an awful birthday, but I hope next year is a better one..

Had dinner after a bit of shopping. Birthday present was a self picked 85mm f1.8... Self picked again... Zzz... Better than let him pick, most probably turn out to be perfume! This reminds me that my christmas present from him is still in the box, maybe half evaporated.

Dinner at Dozo again. He just can't get any more creative. Here's some of the night's menu.

Crab claw salad

Smoked duck

Tempura soft shell crab

Mushroom soup

Lamb shank

Pork cheek

Finally something thoughtful from him...

Food didn't taste as good as the first time we were there. We tried to order different things from the first visit to try out their menu. Should have gone with our regular likings instead.

And this ends birthday 2010...

It Travelled A Long Way...

2010-04-08T09:29:00.000+08:00

A pleasant surprise to have the postman at my door...

All the way from Hawaii~!!! You know I mean the parcel (not the postman)... Hehe.. And by the shape of the parcel, I immediately guessed what it was and who sent it!! I so clever~! xD

Look!! It's got a dolphin!!

Beautiful soprano ukelele in white!! A present from Nicholas reach in time for my birthday! Thank you Nicholas! I really appreciate the thought. =)

And speak about "thoughts", which idiots always have none. Zzz... Earlier just now, he tried to discuss with me about my birthday. I expected there isn't going to be a celebration as extravagant as last year's. I don't mind at all. It's not the money spent but its the thought that makes everything meaningful. Which is why I sibeh fucking pissed when he offered to shop with me later for a present. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...... OMFG!! If you are not filthy rich, DON'T act like one and ask people what they want for present!! You are only trying to disappoint them because you can't afford what they name!! KNN!! Show some sincerity and present a gift by your own thoughts!!

He intend to let me choose a present and only worry about dinner and cake cutting all at his own convenient time!! What kind of thought is this?! As a matter of fact, I DON'T need dinner, cake nor gift to be pleased!! Why he still don't get it?!!

Back... Again...

2010-04-06T03:50:00.000+08:00

I was telling Nic the other day that I only blog when I'm in better mood... So, I don't understand why I'm blogging now.

Things haven't been really good and nothing's interesting worth blogging about. I've been so restless that the chores are piling up again. Lack of motivation so much that I didn't even bother to touch on my long awaited Final Fantasy XIII.

Sibeh sianz...

I Just Did Facial!!!

2010-02-26T05:43:00.000+08:00

In the mood to blog a bit but can't think of a title. Hee... But... I really just finished a facial. Bought a facial steamer quite some time ago from Mustafa. Finally thought of putting it to use just now. Steam a bit, squeeze some clogged pores and then a mask. Hopefully nothing will happen to my face. I can't remember how long ago I bought those masks from Sasa.. Hahaha.. Getting old... Shouldn't be too late to take care of my skin now.. xD

Just took a some glance round my room... Mess is building again! =X I tried my best to maintain everything really. Haiz..

These few days been tiring. Other than helping Jason to move his house on Wednesday, the rest of the stress came from throwing curry pok! =X Its Buffet War from Viwawa. Haha.. Quite fun game similar to Gunbound.

Figure is not going well with my pocket. This week he rob me to go casino again. Lost again! But not me.. Bcos I didn't bet.. I hope everything pick up along the way. Hopefully this is a prosperous year for me.

Just Updates...

2010-02-19T16:28:00.000+08:00

Chinese New year is not over yet but at least everything is back to normal because my parents started working. Heee... My room is still pretty neat at the moment, I hope I don't mess it up too soon. And it's one of those days again... Feeling lethargic... Sloth-ing around...

Yesterday was officially the first date with him after Valentine's, though we did meet on Tuesday but it was too late to go anywhere. We ended up at the casino that night and I contributed 1k. Zzzz.... So anyway yesterday was supposed to be a belated Valentine's but it was not romantic at all. Quite pissful! He wanted to bring me go shop for a present but I don't want! I'm getting very sick of shopping for my own present everytime!!! You only offer that when you are filthy rich so the girl can get to choose anything!! If not, then you better go buy a present yourself, whether cheap or expensive but it serves more meaning!!

Went Kinokuniya at Takashimaya to shop for a magazine which I saw from a Facebook user. I want the freebie inside which is a self assembly TLR camera!! Out of stocks!! But I placed an order and would be here before March! Hee.. The funny part is - they said I can't cancel my order. Placing an order is only filling up name and phone on a slip without paying anything. What can they do to me if I don't want to collect it?! Dumb!

Dinner was at Ma Maison Japanese Western Food. Wilson was the one who brought me there. Took photos the last time but lazy to blog about it. Hehe...

He told me to take this pic of him... So hiao!

There's always no pic of me...

Take this and pay at the cashier...

Aiyo I like this pic.. Anyway its smoked salmon.

Scallop capaccio.. Love it!!

His omelette butter rice with beef stew. Don't look appealling but taste good.

My hamburger steak. Patty nice but sauce a bit too saltish.

I almost forgot that I went Botanic Garden on Tuesday. Wanted to go try out my 24-70mm on some flowers. Oreos and me almost melted! So damn bloody hot!!! I was lugging a bag and tripod around. We were expecting a lot of colors but only greens. Lots of trees and grass. Zzzz... Gave up venturing after 15minutes. Only shot a few miserable pics.

The only flower I shot..

Photoshopped!

Really love the hue in the 2nd pic. Saw a series of photos from a Facebook user and now trying to learn from it. It's quite interesting to photoshop photos of flowers because of the variety of colors. Hmm... I must make a trip to the Botanic Garden again another time...

I Screwed Up CNY!!!

2010-02-15T09:03:00.001+08:00

First of all, Happy New Year!!!

Another year passed and I am still the same. As in unproductive.. Haiz...

It seems like every year I had to spend the eve rushing with spring cleaning. Past years had to rush overnight and complete by the morning of the 1st day. This year slightly better since I had my room revamped in 2009, not much of work. In fact, it's just the normal cleaning and tidying which I supposed to do regularly. Everything done by 11pm on the eve.

This year's CNY is by far the least interesting I ever had. Totally didn't feel like it's CNY. Didn't feel like it was coming. Don't feel like it is now. I spent the eve's night like any other night - punt and watch TV. That was how I screwed up! I stayed up all night and I slept all day when everyone was visiting my house!! Could hear my mother banging on my door a few times but I pretended I couldn't hear. =X

Mimi also dozed away with me in his gold kua....

Can't give a hoot to what they think about me sleeping on the CNY!! Tired, so sleep!! And sleep also got angpow!! =S Some left angpow for me before they left... Actually I'm not very concerned about getting angpows. Afterall I'm already grown up, take angpow buay paiseh meh?!

And so, I spent this year's 1st day of CNY sleeping. Well, I think I did this before... Not the first time.. =X Not to mention, that was also how I spent this year's Valentine's!! Zzzz... How boring!! Haiz... I hope to get over with everything and resume as usual soon.

iPhone Is So Amazing!!!

2010-02-09T04:49:00.000+08:00

I know.. I know... I said the same when I had the Blackberry... BUT!! It's different this time!!! I'm head over heels in love with my iphone now!!! It's a damn amazing gadget!!! It can do better than what the Blackberry does and even more!!

Things that I can do the same with a Blackberry:
MSN as usual...
Twitter as usual...
Blog as usual...
Receive push email as usual...

Things that are BETTER than Blackberry:
Access Facebook with better interface!
Snap photos with better RESOLUTION!
Play games that are more fun and interesting!
Watch Youtube without error!
Install applications that are more useful and interesting!

Things that Blackberry CAN'T do:
Edit my photos and add lots of effects!!!
Log on to IRC which I wasn't able to do with my Blackberry for some unknown reason!!!
Play Bejeweled Blitz and Texas Hold'em Poker connected to Facebook!!!
Surf webpages that has flash contents!!!

There's so much more but I'm just listing out the things that are useful to me. Today, I just installed a damn amazing applicationon my iphone. A remote desktop client which I can access my home computer from anywhere with my iphone!! So useful!! It's like my iphone turned into a wireless monitor cum keyboard cum mouse for my home computer!! Can even play sounds from it!! I know there are remote desktop clients for Blackberry but I am very sure the kind of experience would be different. Blackberry has its limitations on many things.

I think I made the right choice to give in to touchscreen and try out the iphone. It really caters all my needs. Touchscreen adds inconvenience to typing but also new experience to using a phone. Without the touchscreen, Bejeweled Blitz and full remote desktop access can never be made possible. =)

Come to think of it... Now I can position my webcam in a convenient spot in my room... When I'm outside, I can remote switch on the webcam and spy Mimi!! Hahaha!! xD

Lazy Solutions...

2010-02-06T06:28:00.002+08:00

As you can see... The photo at the Snapzshots on the top of the page has changed due to the resolution shot by my iphone. The way iphone post the photo also affected the alignments. So, I took away the frame and edited the alignments.

Decided not to change a new blogskin because I love that damn tree so much. You no believe me?! Really!! I even made the tree bigger than before!! xD

Okok... Too lazy to think of a new blogskin lah... Now with iphone, I can post Snapzshots vertically or horizontally and even at random sizes! Therefore, can't think of a creative design to fit in yet. Meanwhile just live with the current blogskin. Maybe until I get sick of that damn tree... =)

P.S. I really got enlarge the tree =Þ

i-ed and L-ed!!!

2010-02-05T20:13:00.001+08:00

Used to come across my mind only for a couple of times, but had been seriously considering about it in the past few days... Though I don't like the idea of touchscreen, but just cannot resist the wonderful features and gave in to the idea to buy an iPHONE!!! xD

If not for only $48, I would never consider getting rid of my Blackberry. Was meddling with the new toy last night. Totally new concept and interface. Everything is fabulous except for the touchscreen part. Inconvenience to SMS in some situation and also slow down punting =X Haiz... I downloaded damn lots of camera application to add effects on photos BUT... Now I have problem updating the snapzshots on this blog. Argh!! Need to change blogskin to suit everything.. Zzz... Battery seems to drain pretty fast or maybe because I had been playing around with the settings too much.

Was at Paragon M1 last night buying the phone. Just next door is the Apple authorised dealer store. Went over to browse for a case. Didn't buy any because they are all so expensive!! Wtf?! My iphone only cost $48 but the casings are more expensive than the phone! Kaoz!! Now a bit regret not having a casing. The iphone seems very vulnerable to scratches and cracks if dropped.

Another new toy bought earlier this week. Very sinful one...

My first L lens!!!

Yet to go shooting with it!! Hee.. Sold my kit lens to Oreos. Both of us happy~

It should be a busy weekend for me, I hope I'm not lazy. =X Still not yet tidy up my room and CNY is coming. Xta's wedding videos... Edit blogskin... Bath Mimi... Omg.. Many many...

Shooting Trips

2010-02-01T14:52:00.001+08:00

Been pretty enthusiastic with shooting photos recently because having Oreos as companion. Since yesterday, Oreos is officially known as Evilynn. She's really a very encouraging friend - over with me buying the 24-70mm! =S

Saturday shots at Chinatown... It's festive again.. Haiz..

Click to enlarge...

This time did some tricks on lightings for the candid shots to bring out the subject and darken the surroundings. I love this kind of effect but there's still much more I need to improve on.

Regret not bringing Nicholas to Marina Barrage when he was here. It's really a nice place. Went with Oreos, Xta, Tri and their two attitude dogs.

I love this sight. Looking up below a uphill field against the sky creating horizon. Must improve on my shooting and go take a better shot of this scene.

Click to enlarge...

Didn't really take a lot of photos over there. Overwhelmed with the scene.. LOL.. Crowded with human and kites!! Didn't know what to shoot!! Added a different hue to the photos. Next snapping trip maybe go shoot flowers!! Hee...

The 24-70mm is tickling me.. Argh!! I can sense a tendancy to commit sin.... =S

Long Time No See Mimi...

2010-01-30T06:59:00.000+08:00

Suddenly in the mood to play with my 50mm lens. Here are some photos of the silly cat...

Click the photos to enlarge....

Heehee... Trying out another way to display photos. In future can use this layout to display different series of photos in a post. xD

And here's a conversation between an idiot and someone trying to act cute~

Tonight meeting Oreos and Xta for photoshooting at Chinatown!! Hopefully can get to shoot some nice stuffs!! And Xta please don't fly aeroplane again~

Dozo~!!!

Woot! Haven't had something different to eat for quite a long time! Ashley recommended this place at Valley Point for fine modern Japanese food. Note that it's Ashley, not Ashlie! Haha! Ashley is Xta's cousin. Anyway, went to check out the place last night.

At the waiting area...

They were kind enough to let us in because we were there almost closing time. They even arranged a private room for us to dine in!! Heee... They serve a 7 course meal for dinner - starter, cold dish, side dish, soup, main, dessert and drinks. They serve somewhat like a degustation menu but you get to choose from a few choices for each course except for the starter which is a chef's seasonal assorted platter.

Complimentary lime sorbet to clear your buds! Not butt!!

Excellent customer service. Offered to help us take photo. But err... blur..

Starter: Chef's seasonal assorted platter. Tiny bit of smoked salmon, scallop and foie gras!!

His cold dish: Seasonal sashimi platter.

My cold dish!! I love raw beef!! Beef tataki here.

His side dish: Hirakata mushroom.. Not very special though..

My side dish: Foie gras chawanmushi~

Our soup: Crab bisque cupacino style. Drink it like coffee!! It's all foam!

Our main: Beef tenderloin on hot stone.

As usual... Someone never wait...

His dessert: Cheese cake...

My dessert!! Lava cake with ice cream! The cake sibeh YUM!!

$59.80++ per pax at Dozo Fine Modern Japanesque! Must try!! xD

Did all the photo borders with Photoscape. Hehe... Coming home last night, Ah Gu greeted me downstairs. Ah Gu is sooo cute!! His name came from his patches and he knows his name when I call him!!

He always wait for me outside the shop while I buy ciggy.

原来是这样!!!

2010-01-19T20:45:00.000+08:00

Quite some time ago I saw these photos from someone's blog.

I like the grains and scratch effects on the photos that produce the vintage look. And the brushed, jagged border of the 3rd photo. I wanted to have my photos appear that way! Even sent a message asking the owner of those photos where to get the exact brushes that she used. I didn't get a reply though. So, I did it my own way...

If you still remember these photos. They were from Batam.

Anyway, thanks to Oreos!! She showed me a freeware for editing photos - Photoscape. It's very simple to use. Best of all, it has a lot of ready made effects and filters!! AND!! I realise those photos that I found are actually edited with Photoscape!! Exactly the same effects! Haha!!

Although I don't see myself switching from Photoshop to Photoscape, but its good to make use of the ready effects once a while. Afterall, I can have more control over editing with Photoshop and I am beginning to learn RAW. But one thing... Isn't that means I'm smarter?!! Because my photos above... I did with Photoshop!!! Muahaha!

Good Week Bad Mood

2010-01-18T05:58:00.000+08:00

In fact I don't even need to draft anything here because the title says it all. I don't really have other things to blog about. But to fill up this post a little more, I shall try to elaborate more....

Good week means... WIN ALOT LAH!! =D
Bad mood means... Pissed by none other than you-know-who!!

*** END ***

Well... Ok... I'll try to write more...

I enjoy browsing in bookstores. I'm NOT cheapskate!! I will buy the books that I like. I'm NOT bookworm either!! I buy most of my books to keep for reference.

For this reason, I bought more books on photography. Hehe... Just began a few pages on volume 1 of Scott Kelbey's boxed set. Looks interesting for a start. Pretty straight forward.

Hope this good week has injected some motivation in me to really learn how to use my camera. And the laundry, the vacuumimg, the cleaning, the tidying, the bla bla bla bla...... =S

Sentosa Again And Again And Again!!

2010-01-15T03:44:00.000+08:00

Xta called for camwhore while on her way to church on Sunday. I got Oreos to join us since she just bought a DSLR too. We ended up in Sentosa without Xta. Her reasons... Rehearsal delayed, not in the right attire, too late to join... Kaoz...

This is Oreos!

Can't stop admiring this photo. Hehe... First try with editing RAW then adding a different effect. Didn't really take lots of photos. Was there at the beach trying to learn about metering and getting the correct exposure. Then of course... Went on the luge!! 3 times!!

Then another 3 times on Monday!! With Hanzi!! Haha!! I don't think anyone would get sick of luge! It's really fun!! He loves it except for the Skyride. Alamak! He's got height phobia. Zzz...

For the last few days I have not been sleeping at "regular" hours. I slept at night and woke up in the morning. Haha.. Anyway, now back to "normal". =X

Bought a few books and magazines on photography and digital darkroom as reference. Will blog down my notes and learnings here. =)

Hmmm.....

2010-01-09T19:32:00.000+08:00

I woke up all full of spirit this morning despite being pissed by him. Left him a few SMS fucking him and resume to maintain my energetic mood. Not until he woke up and replied me say that "she" saw my messages!!

Sounds like disaster for him and totally switched my mood. To be honest, it's really none of my business. I'm not being unsympathetic, there's really nothing I can do. But still, my mood went down. I was anxious to know what happened next because he wasn't able to update me.

Anyway it was 有惊无险. She just confronted him a little and he brushed off with some crappy answers. Afterall, what can she do? Murder us? Get mad and scream won't do any better. She just gave a warning for him to watch out. Ha! And it was all because of the idiot himself forgotten to switch off his phone before going to bed. Then his indiscipline son took a peep into his phone and show mommy someone is fucking daddy. Well...

Tried to spend the day studying about using my camera. After so long, I haven't really know how to use my camera. Almost everytime I just use it like a normal camera and then photoshop to make it nicer. What a waste! Just look at these...

These photos not by me. They're from here...

Look at how beautiful they are. What I want to pick up is trying to get the right exposure and capturing the right moment then twitch with photoshop. The colors are so brilliant and the lightings so nice. Just oridinary natural shots can be so interesting. I want to do this too~

Sentosa Again!

2010-01-07T20:47:00.001+08:00

As a Singaporean, how often do you go to the Sentosa? I'm there last week with Nicholas. Not having felt enough like a tourist, I was there again yesterday with Tri for photoshooting session. =Þ

My shooting model of the day.

....and he's supposed to shoot photos of me.

Didn't realise that Sentosa has such a nice beach

Love this pic!! =)

Woohoo~

This skyride is REALLY nice!

Weather Forecasting Stone
Stone is wet - Rain
Stone is dry - Not raining
Shadow on ground - Sunny
White on top - Snowing
Can't see stone - Foggy
Swinging stone - Windy
Jumping up & down - Earthquake
Stone gone - Tornado
Wahahaha~

Finally it's ME!!

Look! It's a pro!!

Sunset from top of Merlion

Ahh!! I look so ugly here! =(

I love these photos. Getting more hang of twitching the colors with photoshop but photoshooting technics still a long way to go. =S And here's photos from Tri's camera...

Going for luge ride!! Wee~~

Don't mean to brag but the color is really nice! xD

Suddenly I've got so many photos of me...

Me and my 7D~

Omg! This one is crappy...

Trying to pose like Forkie's daughter..

I may have blocked his sunset shots... LOL!

Fuck! Something wrong with my looks.. Age is catching up.. Haiz..

Forsee myself going to Sentosa again within the next few weeks. Haha! The luge and skyride is so fun, I must get Hanzi go with me. Looking forward to the Universal Studios!!

Still Not Too Late To Say New Year

2010-01-06T09:10:00.001+08:00

First post of the year though I am six days late. =S Well, it hasn't been a good start for a new year. Couldn't remember how it was for last year. I don't mean to look back but looking forward just makes me depressed. Anyway I hope things get better.

Nicholas finally and really did come over for to visit me. Showed him around the town. Due to my fuck up sleeping habit, I kinda screwed his itenary. Anyway I hope he enjoyed himself and here are some photos already on Facebook. Waiting for him to send me the rest from his camera.

Edited the photos by experimenting with twitching the colours. If you hadn't notice, I've had the photos display with a 400pixels width. Just 50pixels larger than they usually do. Is this better?? I see some blogs having photos that are so tiny which you can't see the details clearly but this size and layout seems a bit dull... Hmmm.. Whatever!

Mimi scared the hell out of himself and me just the night before. Tried to climb the window and slipped. Hung in the air and stuggled for his life. I have no idea how long he was there before I went to his rescue. All I know he was panting like hell when I grabbed him in and hugged him tight. Nails bled alot and stained my hands. He emo-ed for hours after that. Zzz...

I yet to do up Xta's wedding video. =X I converted all the scenes I need for editing. It's going to be quite tedious. So much different from editing a photo. A photo is just one frame. But a video has so many frames! And those videos all had uneven brightness and color tones. I need to edit frame by frame!! Fuck!! It should take me very long...

Now I Know What Cat Lice Look Like...

2009-12-24T07:54:00.001+08:00

Machiam dandruff and its all over Mimi! Zzz... Was running my fingers through his coat and noticed all the white dots. Real tiny ones. For one moment I thought they were split ends. But its impossible to have so much split ends!! Then I thought its just dust or dandruff. Till I stare at them closely, you can actually spot them moving. Its so tiny you can't even tell how they look like, but definitely not fleas or ticks. Google says its cat lice. The good news, cat lice are not communicable to human.

Bathed him and rushed down to the pet shop and bought Frontline for him. Burnt some $70. Complained to the idiot and the reply I got from him was "any lucky number for the lice incident?" Knn! Ok fine.. Receipt number was 0416. First prize opened 2416. WTF?!

Been stucked with playing Bejeweled Blitz at Facebook. I don't understand why I am playing that game since it always give me frustrations but somehow I just throw all my chores aside and waste my time away on it.

It's going to be another boring Christmas even though Xta invited me over to her new place for party. I really don't have the mood for any celebration. I haven't buy present for the party yet. =X

This year he gave me a Canon speedlite as present. Not sweet at all. Because I bought it myself at first then he paid me the money next day to consider it as a present from him. WTF?!

Anyway, Merry Christmas!

Post No.234

2009-12-18T02:46:00.002+08:00

I am sitting here drafting this post and trying to recall how I actually spent my time for this past two months which I haven't blogged about. I can't specifically recall anything.

I haven't been following the daily routines that I used to. I stopped playing games. I stopped surfing the Youtube. I stopped taking photos. I stopped reading blogs. I think I totally suit this blog - Sianzations. The only relief at least I have Yahoo as my homepage that keeps me updated.

Just yesterday, the side column at Yahoo caught my eye. Xiaxue topped the "Popular Searches" and so reminded me to go take a look. She's getting married. Nice for her, bad for me. =X I have nothing against her. It's just that I've recently logged in Facebook and saw updates of friends. Who and who is getting married. Dawn is pregnant. Huimin is pregnant again. Xta just got married. Met Forkie at Xta's wedding, his daughter's grown so much and his wife expecting another. Facing all these, makes me depressed.

It's totally not about being jealous or envious. I don't want to purposely lead the life which everyone assumes a girl should - find a husband and have kids and settle down. I am NOT trying to be different or unique, but I feel that this kind of things should happen naturally. From the kind of life I'm going through now, this "natural occurrence" is not likely going to happen to me. Not having a lifetime partner or children doesn't make me depressed. I'm depressed because I can't project my life in years to come. Though I'm unhappy about this, I not yet have intentions of correcting what I am doing now. Sianz....

Last week was a messy week. Messy room and fucked computer. The long awaited freedom for him came. He was free for the whole week because his family went holiday without him. We went for a swim at Wild Wild Wet. It was nice to have him around without time restriction, but not as sweet as how I always looked forward to. Years of waiting had my anticipation murdered.

Supposed to have some photos from my zoo trip with him. Not from last week but few months back. Was selling my 450D away so hastily transferred the photos to the fucked computer without checking. Stupid HDD with bad sectors screwed up a lot of the photos. Zzzz... Anyway now the computer been fixed. Till I get all my software installed back before I can do the editing. OMFG! And there's Xta's wedding video not yet edited. Haiz...

You Have Not Missed A Thing.

2009-12-05T07:48:00.000+08:00

Once again... Another missing chapter in my blog. Rest assure you missed nothing of my life because it had been all the same - pissful rants, miserable and boring times.

My PC is dying on me. The HDD is about to crash anytime. It must have been Mimi who leaps on top of it every now and then. Just a few weeks ago, I was eyeing at the new IMAC. Everything inside the slim monitor with only one power cord. No messy wires or a chasis for Mimi to leap onto. Just as I was considering whether to switch from Windows to Mac, I made another sudden decision. Sold my beloved Leica and EOS 450D to buy the new EOS 7D. =X There goes the budget for IMAC. Instead, bought a new HDD and chasis to keep the current PC working.

Shall update when I settle down. Many things to do but my tomorrow never ends. It's so sianz....

Before Everything Gets Too Outdated....

2009-10-15T02:33:00.010+08:00

So loooooooong again~

Alot I wanted to blog about, but (as usual) I've forgotten about them now. =S

Lots of UPs and DOWNs. The juiciest and most interesting (also outdated) one is an exciting episode of drama with that idiot - pig fight in my neighbourhood. It should be pretty obvious in this case, I am the human and he is the PIG! I can't be bothered to eleborate every details anymore. That retard provoked me very badly and so got a slap from me, gave a punch back to me (whether in defense or purpose) but ended up KNEELING to apologise. (He knelt of course!) Later was hell from me to him. Bleah~

And that was the apology gift. Cheap stuff! But I chose it myself. That's what he could afford that day.. Zzz.. It's ok! 君子报仇十年未晚! xD

Anyway, that was the Holga Cat Face camera. It caught my eye with the "Holga" and cat photo. What? A "cat" version of Holga camera in a nice tin package? But what a shame, the tin becomes a piece of junk after you pull open the cap. Why can't they design a useable cover for it! Kaoz! The camera is probably another shame though I'm not sure of the photo quality yet. Basically it can light up and play some silly sound to get your kitty look into the camera when you shoot. Sounds crappy? LOL!

Quite a few new members to my cameras troop and my dry cabinet is getting very crowded now. I am more of a collector than photographer. Seriously, I can't resist owning beautiful and interesting things!!

Hello Kitty Instax Mini 25!!!

Eximus Wide & Slim

The instax mini was actually an impulse buy. =X But I never regretted. I'm not a fan of Hello Kitty really but this piece of item is really nice and good quality. The Eximus was from an online spree. "Eximus" sounds like some new age stuffs but its another lomographic camera. Its very affordable and its compact enough for me to throw in my sling bag. A bit disappointing because it doesn't have flash. Though lomographic cameras best present photos taken in daylight but... I am... nocturnal.. Lol...

Diana gets outfit!!

And its flash too!!

A set of leather pouches from Lomography Gallery Shop in Hong Kong. The one which I asked Huimin to help me buy but unfortunately she didn't. Taine bought for me on his trip there. I thought I could save on shipping if bought from the boutique but wrong! The bundled set price is only for online orders. The two pouches were charged seperately at the shop. Total sum was like LPPL... Only saved a few dollars but Taine's effort and transport fare... Ahem... LOL! In future it's better just order online. But I don't think I have anything else to buy from there... No? Not unless they come out with new interesting gadgets again... =X

So much of my new collections... If you don't know, I already spent 3 hours drafting this post. I don't know what took me so long. Tonight is just another regular night that I spent my time the same way as any other nights, but I just feel something missing. Idiot is on a holiday trip to China sponsored by Pernod Ricard. I just sent him off at the airport yesterday morning. Before sending him off, he pissed me badly again. In an attempt to please me, he bought me a hardcover of Dan Brown's latest - The Lost Symbol. Hehe... So now... Maybe I'm missing someone for me to fuck? That I mean verbally and not physically. =Þ

He never fail to piss me even when he is a few thousand kilometres away! Zzz.... It doesn't pay to be caring and considerate!! I made an effort to install Skype and bought credits so I can call him at his hotel room instead of calling his roaming mobile. Skype cost 1.7cents euro per minute only. That's not even 5cents SGD! Cheap!! With such convenience, he just take advantage of this and only expect me to call him when he's back at the hotel. He happily went drinking until past 4AM just now. Whole fucking day don't even bother to send me an SMS. Only faked a "ya i miss you" when I asked. How disappointing can things get?! But NEVERMIND! He shall get more hell from me when he come back. I will LUUN for now! Meanwhile can make a shopping list! xD

Haven't been practising much on the piano. My Kanon is progressing miserably. Just reached the 24th bars (that's 1 page) yesterday. Had been going on Youtube watching others play the piano. Now I have one new piece that I like to learn very much!

This guy is good! Yes HE IS a GUY. At first I thought this was creepy when I read "Mark Chang" on it. Poor quality video in sepia colours showing a broom hair lady. LOL! He made me realise that I actually love ragtime!

Better make good use of my piano and not let it sit under the dust. So I bought a dust cover. LOL! I mean... I will really practise lah! But I still need a dust cover. If not I would have to vacuum the keys one by one every other day! My room gets dusty real easily and you can see them collect within hours. The dust cover also keeps Mimi away from getting on the piano. I don't know how it happens but Mimi never attempt to go on the piano when it's covered. That silly cat had been pissing me off a lot too!! He has abandoned his scratch post and now conveniently scratch all over my bed edges. The cover is tearing off!! GRRRR!!! Now I have doublesided tape all around my bed. Keeps him away from scratching because he doesn't like his paws get sticked. I don't like my calves get sticked when I sit at the bed too!!

Kanon-ing 20 Bars

2009-09-28T07:14:00.000+08:00

Life has been as miserable as ever.

Roach invasion again! Came from a bag of old Playstation set which Tri dug out from his storeroom to return me. The stupid roach freaked me out. Ran under my TV console. I had to move away everything to catch it. In the end Mimi helped to squash it. =S

Huimin is back from her Hongkong holiday. Unfortunately, she didn't help me buy the things I want. Told her to buy that few items from the Lomography Gallery in there so I can save on shipping from ordering online but she said she didn't have the time. If not for having Taine as backup, I would be really disappointed. Taine travels to Hongkong from Xiamen frequently for his visa. Can get him to help me buy and get my mother to bring it back because she will be visiting Xiamen next month. Now I have more time to consider if I still want the items.... Or maybe add more items... =X

Now trying to learn Variations On The Kanon on my piano. It's been a few days and I'm only done with 20 bars. LOL! And not fluent yet. Sibeh jia lat!! Need more practice....

One Down From To-Do List

2009-09-23T23:57:00.001+08:00

It's been...... 6 months..... Or...... Maybe even longer??..... That......
Mimi had a bath!!!

Licking himself dry~

Doesn't his tongue gets tired??

Got a piece of new clothes for him. Heeheee.... Mimi look so handsome in it~

Mimi sooooooooo CUTE~~~

Human Equation

2009-09-19T15:10:00.000+08:00

Was reading to Taine some old jokes that I got from email. Then I decided to share it with that Idiot. Notice sometimes I call him darling but other times are Idiot. In reality, he is an idiot but he is only a darling when he is nice to me. So you can tell he is seldom nice to me, or rather he is idiotic to me most of the time. =X

Anyway I sent him an SMS:
Man = eat + sleep + earn money

He replied something which he thought he was brilliant:
Woman = eat + sleep + spend money

I'm EVEN better:
Pig = eat + sleep
So...
Man - earn money = PIG
Woman - spend money = PIG
That's why I spend money!!!

So he should continue to earn for me to spend isn't it? xD

Window shopping again~

Some chio clothes for Diana!

Wide and close-up lens for her too!!

Never actually thought of getting additional lens for Diana since kit lens is already enough to take photos. Not until this...

Weee~

It's an adaptor for Diana lenses to be fixed on my Canon EOS!!! OMG!! This is going to be fun. Digital through plastic lens!!

If that idiot gets to see this and knows what to do, he'll be a darling! xD

It's the last day of the lunar 7th month. People are praying and burning incense paper downstairs now. And... THE ASH IS COMING INTO MY ROOM!!! Zzzz....

I forgot to talk about I had a 霸王餐 the other day at Grand Copthorne. LOL! Ate and fled!! Sick of the usual breakfast menu, we went to Grand Copthorne to have international breakfast buffet. There was nobody at the reception and we just walked in and start to serve ourself. There was only a waiter around to serve coffee and tea. I supposed they took for granted that people who go there as early as 6:30AM are hotel guests. When we were done, there was still nobody at the reception. So we just walk out naturally lor... xD

Bought a new printer yesterday. Actually wanted to buy a mobile printer but too pricey and not really very compact. Ended up with a $79 Canon printer. Not too bulky and its cheap. =)

I find difficulty trying to learn some songs that I like. Don't have the skills. Need a lot of practise. I am thinking to continue my lessons. Was browsing Yamaha website. They only have information for children course! WTF?! Where is the usual classical piano course? Maybe going there to take up their jazz piano course for adults. Then go Lee Wei Song school for classical piano lessons. Don't want join the children at Yamaha and look like an idiot.

Another New Toy

2009-09-17T19:16:00.000+08:00

Huimin just messaged me to borrow my zoom lens. Honestly, quite reluctant to lend her for one reason - I haven't even used that pricey little thing myself!! But WTF?! Stop being childish and selfish!! It's only a lens. If she spoils it, she will buy a new one for me. If it comes back in good condition, it is still the same lens as it is!! Why bother about who use it first!!

Anyway... Next up...

Tada!!!

Woot!!!

It's sitting in my room now!! It's not a Mooncake present though!! You don't need a reason to receive gift. Hehe.. Throw some tantrums also work. =X Thank you darling~

It's the NEW Yamaha P155S. I didn't know it is actually a new model until I bought it. Very good reviews from the internet. I really like the sound and the feel of the keys. Superb!

Now... the piano with the stand actually weighs quite a bit and it's not really that convenient to move around. Removing the piano from the stand needs some unscrewing. Means it's inconvenient to have the piano in front of the computer to play and read score off the monitor. Also means I probably need a printer now. LOL.. SHIT!! Spend money again!! Argh... But I really hate the idea of having another bulky gadget on my desk which I need to dust frequently.. Haiz...

More money to spend on cables to record the audio with my computer and stuffs... Hopefully can post my own video playing the piano on Youtube soon. =D

Can't Get This Tune Out Of My Head!!

2009-09-10T10:44:00.002+08:00

If you never heard this piece of music before.... YOU HAVE NO LIFE!!!! xD

This lady has a few videos on Youtube of other old school games music as well. She played all of them beautifully. Me so envy~

Also came across a rap singing version of this song. Romanji lyrics included. Sing along~ LOL!

Incompetent People At Their Jobs!!!

2009-09-03T20:25:00.001+08:00

GRRRRRR!! I wanted to blog about this since yesterday!

Went Chinatown yesterday to run some errands. At the same time, tried to help Taine activate his ATM card. Failed again!! It's already the 3rd card that failed!! He was so pissed, not with me but with the bank. Lots of time wasted trying to call the bank from overseas to get them send a new card.

The first card failed because I activated wrongly. But it wasn't my fault! It was the wrong instructions printed in their stupid mail!!! And it goes like this...

HOW TO ACTIVATE YOUR POSB GO! CARD
If this is your NEW GO! Card, and:
. You do not have an existing POSB ATM Card; or
. It replaces your previous GO! Card due to lost, stolen card/PIN or forgotten PIN;
You will recieve a six-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) seperately. Before you use your Card, you can activate it at any POSB/DBS ATM in Singapore following the steps below:

Insert your POSB GO! Card into the ATM.
Key in your existing ATM Card Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Select "MORE SERVICES"
Select "PIN SERVICES / INTERNET BANKING"
Select "CHANGE ATM CARD PIN"
Follow instructions on the ATM screen to complete the activation of your POSB GO! Card.

If this Card replaces your existing POSB ATM Card or POSB Card
You have to activate your Card at any POSB/DBS ATM in Singapore. Follow the simple instructions below:

Insert your POSB GO! Card into the ATM.
Key in your existing ATM Card Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Select "MORE SERVICES"
Select "PIN SERVICES / INTERNET BANKING"
Select "CHANGE ATM CARD PIN"
Follow instructions on the ATM screen to complete the activation of your POSB GO! Card.

Who is the fucking idiot who drafted this piece of shit?! Can you see that BOTH sets of instructions are exactly the same?! And both say to "Key in your existing PIN"?! THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TOTALLY WRONG!!! You are supposed to select "ACTIVATE ATM CARD" at step(5) instead of trying to change the pin!! And I had to call the bank to get the right instructions, but it was already too late. For security reason, you can't activate the card through ATM anymore if u fail to do it the first time. And that is why they had to send a 2nd card.

The 2nd card came but I didn't receive any new PIN in seperate mail. Also because of that same stupid instructions gave me the idea that they might not be sending any PIN because I can use the previous one. So I went ahead to activate the card without expecting any mail for the PIN. Failed because I entered invalid PIN. The new PIN came a few days later. Zzzz....

The 3rd card I swear I did everything correct!! At the end of everything, the processing result was "Incorrect Information"!! WTF?! Taine had to call the bank again and the CSO wasted a lot of time keep insisting it was my fault!! Accused I entered wrong PIN!! WTF?! I swear I got it all correct!! During the 2nd card, the machine prompted me to re-enter PIN when I got it wrong. This time it didn't prompt me at all! So it can't be the PIN!!! And what's the fucking point of insisting I keyed the wrong PIN?! Sue me to court ah?! KNN!! Stop wasting time and find a solution lah!!

Taine was so pissed talking to that CSO. He fucked him and asked to speak with manager. The problem with calling the CS line is when they transfer you to another person, you have to relate your problems all over again. Zzzz... And manager isn't any better. The manager tried to say things like under-estimating my intelligence. Thinking I don't know how to use ATM or I am some stupid idiot. After a long talk, the manager gave a stupid advise. It's REAL STUPID advise!! He suggested that it would be easier for ME to apply a card then mail over to Taine. Since I'm personally in Singapore, I can easily get the card activated at the bank immediately. WTF?! NO BRAIN!!! Taine related the whole conversation at the same time to me through MSN. I told Taine to reply the manager and ask him to apply a card for him lor. That's even easier isn't it?! So, withdrawal will deduct from whose account?? How the fuck can that person be manager?! It's not a matter of getting a card only wat!! Card link to whose account?! When Taine told the manager what I said, the manager paiseh just laughed off a bit. Then Taine told him, if I am clever enough to say this, that means I am NOT that stupid to fail 3 cards! GRRRR!!

At the same time I went to the Singpost at Chinatown Point. Needed to get some OPC coupons. Bloody fucking long queue!! Tried my luck and approached some lady near the front of the queue to help me buy a few coupons. She rejected me. Say she was also in a rush, told me to queue myself! Zzzzz... FINE!! I took a cab to Zion Road. $3.80 can save more than an hour of time. The Singpost there was empty!! Approached the counter directly and bought the coupons in less than half a minute!

Later at home my father complained the electrical meter box at our corridoor was damaged. Told me to call someone to come fix it. Looked like it's been hit. The cover cracked and broke. Meter device falling off and dangling. Wonder if it was Mimi who did it. Maybe tried to chase a lizard then jumped upwards and pounced on that thing. Since my father assumed it was due to weathering that cause the plastic to degrade and break, I just agreed with him. =X

Called up SP Services and they told me not their problem! WTF?! Told me to call Town Council for the box replacement. Then I mentioned the meter is falling off. They said that would be another department! WTF?! Two department to call?! Anyway I called Town Council first. An Indian maintainence guy came today. Only brought along the plastic front panel of the box. The part where the meter is falling off, he said that one need replacement of the WHOLE box which he can't do it. Told me to call Town Council again to inform them BEFORE he can do it. WTF?!! Tried to call Town Council but the office was closed. I told that guy to just fix whatever he can. After he left, he called me again. Told me need not call the Town Council and said he already informed office and he will come over again tomorrow to fix the remaining. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.... Don't understand what the fuck these people doing!! Wasting a lot of time!!

Mimi just did two attempts of stealing some chicken off the dining table. My father kpkb.. Zzzz.... So many unhappy things! Sianz!!

Miserable...

2009-09-01T08:49:00.001+08:00

It's been a bad week. The future looks worrying... Sianz...

Trying to distract myself with some things to past time with. I couldn't stand the sound coming from the 2nd hand $10 soundcard. Bought a new one last week. Had it installed yesterday. What a nice timing because my interest in MIDI is back again. A new soundcard for Cubase. Added new RAM as well.

Christa caught me at the right time as she let me listened to a piece of arrangement for wedding march. Made effort to write out the score for that song because I want to try it on my piano. Other than filling up some application forms and copying 4D results for my father, I haven't really hold a pen and write for MANY years! Nowadays we all type on the keyboard!! I can't remember how to write most of the Chinese characters although I can read them. My fingers can move faster on the computer keyboard than the piano!! My point is... I'm explaining why my written score is FUGLY!! =S

Almost wanted to buy a printer so that I can print out some of my downloaded scores. Many times I got to hear something I like and wished to learn it on the piano. Managed to find the scores online but I don't have a printer. The moment I think of nowhere to print out the scores, the impulse to play on my piano died off. Sianz...

The other day, Huimin looked for me in the middle of the night hoping I could help her print some documents. She was shocked I didn't have one. Muahaha.. I almost don't need a printer at all, I can live without it. It would be better to get a portable piano so I can practice right in front of the computer. Can even do it in the middle of the night with headphone.

Went Yamaha yesterday to browse their portable pianos. Have two models in mind already. Either a P85 or DGX630. The P85 is simpler and cheaper but the DGX630 has some interesting features. Although I won't be bringing it out but it would be better to be compact for me to move it around my room. Both can be removed from the stand but the DGX630 is really bulky even without the stand. Can't really decide on which model if I were to buy it. Compact vs Feature and also the price. Of course, if somebody is paying then I don't mind to live with the bulkiness. Muahaha... Was thinking to rob from Mr Idiot as a birthday present but birthday is still far away. I asked Taine what is the next nearest occassion I can try for. He answered me mooncake. Wtf!! Mooncake present?! xD

Anyway... Idiot say when he win money will buy for me... -_-" Like how my father say strike 4D then buy... Wait for him to win money I might as well buy myself... But I just lost QUITE a few sets of piano last week... Haiz....

I got sick of playing Theme Hospital quite long ago. Running out of activities to keep myself occupied at home again. Of course, the usual chores are always there but undone.

Latest grabs from shopping are some drawing materials. Pastels and papers. Not yet started with them. They are still shrink wrapped sitting on the floor in their plastic bags. Still short a little colours, will be ordering online with the help of Nicholas. Will be attempting portrait.

Another new buy is a DKNY hand bag. No photo because lazy. Very chio one!! Courtesy of Mr Idiot in effort to cheer me up. xD

I'm more or less done with the shows on cable TV. They just repeat the same stuffs every few other days. Zzz... Currently showing that 疑情别恋 on VV Drama. Couldn't wait to watch only an episode a day. Bought the remaining of the series off Video On Demand. Finished everything last Saturday. =X What a bad idea to do that, now I feel even bored! Oh! You can watch the Cantonese version with Video On Demand. That's one good thing about it.

Off to watch new show downloaded from the net... So boring...

CCB!!

2009-08-21T23:52:00.003+08:00

Woke up with somewhat lousy mood and got very fucking pissed!!!

Saw a lot of meaningless messages left by him. Wtf?! Does he even know how to call if he want to show he care?! What's the point of sending a few SMS?! If I already been dead and never get to read the messages he wouldn't even know!! Only called a while ago and asked the same fucking questions to piss me off. CCB!! Called almost 12AM to ask if I taken dinner. If you don't intend to buy or company me for dinner, don't bother to ask!! I am so sick of answering those SAME questions that come one after another. DON'T FUCKING THINK THAT BY ASKING A FEW SUPERFICIAL QUESTIONS MEAN YOU CARE!

Then was the CB cat!! Got too bored and create trouble. Mess my things I tried to chase him away. Kept repeating the same process to piss me off. Knocked over my ashtray and broke it on the floor. Chased him all around the room to grab him. Hid under the bed. Flipped the bed up to get him. Not sure if I broke the spring. Can't be bothered to check now. SO FUCKING PISSED!!! When I finally got hold of him I spanked him real hard before clearing the mess.

GRRRRRRRR!!!

Went for midnight movie yesterday... Err.. Should say this morning instead... Whatever...

Jack Neo's latest production - Where Got Ghost. Supposed to be a comedy ghost movie but I didn't really have a great laugh. The comic came from the script lines - Singlish, Hokkien and local Mandarin. The story and acting was quite lame and boring. Overall just a so so movie for you to spend a little of time in the cinema to relax with. Still way to go for them...

Bought some drawing materials from Art Friend few days ago. Suddenly want to attempt some sketching and drawing.. Hur hur hur... Short of a set of colours.. Will go get them later.

Fucking Anonymous Calls

2009-08-18T18:16:00.000+08:00

Not the first time I received these kind of calls. Some chinese speaking girl, sounded more from China than Taiwan. Called my home line with non listed number and introduced their company name in chinese. Their slang totally turned me off. I never ever know or find out what they are trying to do but guessed they are some telemarketeers trying to scam or sell me something. And I think the people who employ them to do the job are more retarded than my idiot! Knn asking some non English speaking girls to do chinese telemarketing or tele-survey in Singapore?! WTF?! No brains!!

I remembered the last time when I received such call, I tried to end the call by telling the girl I'm not interested in anything. That bitch threw some vulgarities and hung up the phone! CCB!! This time, a girl called me a few days ago and introduced her company name in chinese again. Apparently dealing with electronics, then asked me what brand of TV I'm having and what I think of the quality. Chat me a bit trying to ask about my age and occupation. Told me to drop by their company in Lucky Plaza anytime to check out their promotion. Asked for my name and said some good wishes before putting down the phone. I got the feeling that they might call again because I didn't think they call for such a simple reason. Went online to check the shop directories in Lucky Plaza and couldn't find a company name that sounded like what she said. Fine....

Just now I received a call from a girl again. Not sure if it was the same girl from few days ago, but definitely from the same company. This time she already knew my name because I gave my name a few days ago. Introduced herself from the same company, but this time a Hong Kong added in front of the company name. I was annoyed and tried to ask why they have to say their company name in chinese!! Tell me in English! Before I could finish the sentence, she hung on me. CCB!!

I called Starhub immediately to enquire about number tracing and number listing. Was thinking to remove my number from the public phonebook listing. This guy from customer service told me he also receive these calls frequently from his mobile. He said they are calling from either China or Taiwan. Number tracing service is not available. Subscribing for private number don't work also. These people did not get the number from listing, they just dialed randomly. Means we cannot do anything about them?! Zzzz.....

So people, if you ever receive these kind of calls.... Don't bother to ask any details. No matter how politely you phrase your question, if you are trying to know too much, they will just hang the phone on you because you have become a difficult target for them to scam. Worse, they might even fuck you before hanging up. SO I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU FUCK THEM AND HANG UP THE PHONE before they do it to you.

But of course, if you suddenly feel like wanna be upright and righteous... Then you may want to entertain them longer to find out what their up to and report to the police...

Pluck Off All The Bad Luck!

2009-08-13T01:31:00.000+08:00

It's supposed to be a good week but I don't feel happy at all. Same fucking shits from that idiot again. This explains money can't buy happiness.

Finally I have something to blog about! I went dentist today!! Omg! I just made a miserable experience sounds like very fun. Zzz...

It's that damn tooth! One of my top right premolars. Gave me problem for 2 years. First it had a chip in the middle because there's decay inside the tooth. I didn't bother about it until that hole got quite big. Then pain! Fine! Went for root canal. The fucking dentist made me so reluctant to go back to him. Unfriendly and rough. Made a big hole in the tooth and did the root canal, filled up the hole temporarily and told me to go back a month later. I never did. And I knew the root canal was badly done which needed another session. Eventually the temporary filling fell off exposiing the big hole. The tooth was weak after the root canal, later the walls all chipped off left behind the root.. Zzz... I lived with it having food stuck at the hole a lot of times. Finally it got infection. I FINALLY went for extraction yesterday morning.

The toothache was so bad inside. Dentist gave A LOT of jab which numbed my gum and face but NOT the pain. It was very badly infected inside I could felt pain on the whole stretch of teeth up to my cheek and forehead. Anyway, finally got rid of that problem.

Now there's another problem whether to leave it empty or do an implant. I hate to go through the process. Imgaine paying few thousand to go through that kind of pain. Zzzz... I may take a lifetime to consider. =X

It's Really Sianz...

2009-08-07T18:48:00.000+08:00

I'm not feeling bad at all for the lack of updates. Who the hell has many happenings in their lives everyday. At least I'm NOT one to start with. Wtf to update when I only sleep and watch TV everyday. Muahaha... Unless you want me to bore everyone with the details of my punting like how the idiot always do to me. Likewise, my Twitter has also been very quiet because I don't want to be flooding my friend's log with some rubbish of me doing the boring daily routines. Bleah~

I can't recall the things I did for the past weeks. Just the usuals like meeting him on some weekdays for dinner and shopping. The rest of the time lazed at home watched TV. I didn't even play on my PS3. I started playing Theme Hospital AGAIN! I'm so boring even Mimi cannot stand me!! =X

I like steak done medium rare.

Misery Can Be Cured By Therapy...

2009-07-25T01:10:00.000+08:00

And this is the cure... Hehehe...

Finally refreshed myself by going out. Went Orchard. Took a peek at Ion. Kaoz... Not all the shops are done and all designer boutiques. At least I know where to drag him to when he win money. *Grins*

Brought along Missy EOS but no opportunity to put in good use. I want to finish the roll of film in my Fisheye. Hmm....

Been sleeping a lot these days. I hate the feeling of waking up after a long sleep. Restless and lethargic. I need some spice in my life!!!

Keep Going!

2009-07-23T11:44:00.000+08:00

It was a miserable week. That's why I didn't blog. I didn't tweet. I didn't snap. All I did was watching TV, playing PS3 and waste the rest of the time sleeping and on my computer.

I agreed to attend Humphrey's dinner with Jason on Tuesday. Couldn't find an excuse to say I didn't want to go. Eventually I slept and ignore all calls. Didn't even meet the idiot on his off day. Totally slept through restlessly. Made me feel even more miserable for screwing up things this way. Jason must be mad at me but I am just too restless to care at all. Hopeless me...

Things seems to get better today. I hope I can get back on track very soon. I am constantly consoling myself. I should do even more to get myself motivated again.

Missy EOS had been sitting in the dry cabinet for a long time. I should really bring her out with me more often. But the problem is... I never go out!! Shit... LOL! Tonight hopefully and probably I'll be going out for the first time in the past week. I must bring her along.

Distress....

2009-07-17T07:25:00.002+08:00

To Yeekiat:
When I say lose. I mean real money. Not PS3.

And I am still losing... One of those disasterous days. Many weeks of effort down the drain within a few hours or days... Haiz...

I should be feeling like the happiest girl in the world living in a big room with aircon, big TV, game consoles, computer and all of my favourite things. Bad things just struck me and I have totally no mood to enjoy anything now.

I need a miracle...

Probably the WORST Tuesday/Wednesday of this year...

2009-07-15T11:53:00.003+08:00

At least for now, it IS the worst one... Losses, quarrels, pissfulness and swayness... Just very fuck up.

First thing yesterday was losses. Follow by idiot pissing me off again!! Losses again!! Idiot pissing me through the early morning today. Sibeh fucking pissed with the same old nonsense again!! Things ended the same way as usual - he's very sorry. CCB! Pissful ended blissful but losses ended with more losses!!

I didn't go out with him last night because I was tired and moody. Expected him not having any idea of where to go on his off day again. The thought just turn me off. I was really tired, planned an early night's sleep because the aircon would be installed today. I ended up watching TV, PS3 and engaged myself in losing. Later quarrels again, over the phone. Pissed me really badly I didn't want to let the matter rest easily. CCB just want to make my life miserable. Got him to come over my downstairs and really screw him! Things turn out well later and went for breakfast. Thunderstorm in the morning. Slowly eating away and chatted a bit. Only when leaving I realised I hadn't shut the windows in my room! OMFG!!

Rushed home. Floor was wet, window grilles wet, one side of the table wet, router wet, table lamp wet, cordless phone flooded and half of the keyboard wet. All were left switched on and running. Fortunately, nothing's been faulty (maybe for now)...

While waiting for the contractors to come, engaged myself in losing again. ASS LUCK! They came a while past 10AM... Was carrying Mimi to go open the gates. He saw strangers and started struggling! Scratching all over me, jumped off and ran back hiding inside. Left me many couples of swollen scratches on my arm and neck. THREE holes in my blouse. It's a new one!! Looks like the holes gonna expand during washing!! GRRRRR!!!

I hope everything gets better as the week ends. Back to monitoring the contractors at work. Haiz...

Boring Updates...

2009-07-14T11:19:00.000+08:00

Juicy sirloin steak!

And that was last Monday's dinner. =X It's not totally (but mostly) because of laziness that I didn't blog. Another reason was my computer died on me.

Last Tuesday night I was at home. I was waiting to watch Michael Jackson's Memorial Live. Instead of meeting him on his off day, I suggested he smuggle himself into my house. Which he did. It was successful!! LOL!! Tiptoed past my father who was sleeping in the hall.

I thought I was only able to watch a live streaming of it on the computer. Later realised it was live on Starworld. Zzz.. Initially I got so pissed with my computer because the sound card suddenly not working again!! Later the whole computer hanged and couldn't boot up. Procastinated on formatting the computer and was forced to do it immediately that night. After format the sound card still didn't work. Tried another driver and the whole thing hanged and couldn't boot again!! Not very sure what went wrong, sound card or motherboard fault? Suddenly the router didn't work also!! Very pissed and disheartened thinking I would need to spend on a new computer. Next day bought a cheap 2nd hand sound card to test. Alright, it was the sound card and the router suddenly worked again. At least save some money from a new computer for the time being. But wtf?! The fucking sound card cost me like $300 and died so soon!! Sibeh sway!

I did try to blog a few days ago. Realised I hadn't install Photoshop to edit my photos. Since I formatted the computer, might as well install the latest version of Photoshop. So I was getting it from torrent the past few days. Don't sue me!

No happenings the past week. Bought a couple of new games for PS3. Had been in bed watching TV and playing games. Need to get out of this Bed Potato syndrome! Shit! Tomorrow the aircon would be installed but recently the weather isn't that warm. Kaoz!

By the way, that steak on top is really nice. I always recommend people to eat there. It's along Tanjong Pagar Road shophouses beside a bus stop.

Pleasant Surprise!!

2009-07-06T17:00:00.002+08:00

Sadly not by him.... Hmm.. Yes and no? I'm trying to say... Much earlier than expected - the Plohs are here!!! Thanks to the neighbour who came to do electricals also fixed a new doorbell for us, if not I would have missed the delivery.

Nicely packed. Feel so blessed!!

Telling me they need a hug!!

So happy!!!

I should be fitting them in right now but can't help to post this up immediately!! What a wonderful Monday! =)

Oh and look at the little row at the end of the every posts. That's something which I just added for fun.. Hehe...

Lazy Girl With A Lazy Cat...

2009-07-06T04:27:00.001+08:00

My couch-potato-syndrome is getting more and more serious!! To be more exact, it's BED potato!! Haha!! Now I know why I never seemed to watch much TV even though I used to have one in my bedroom. It's not because of the Hubstation, not the new LCD TV, not exactly the new bed. It's actually the new layout that makes watching TV more relaxing and comfortable. xD

Tried sleeping with the sofa bed stretched out. Seems to work better for my back but I think Mimi is enjoying it more than me. Weather was good today with some rain. Mimi was rolling in and out of my blanket, in fact rolling on the WHOLE bed! Now I love the way he lay beside me on the bed and concentrate on the TV while I play PS3. He seemed really paying attention! Haha!!

I'm beginning to like the game Vegas 2. After getting familiarized with the controls, not getting so much of the simulation sickness anymore. Now looking forward to Nicholas joining me in the game.

Speaking of Nicholas reminds me of wanting to go Las Vegas watch Terry Fator. Some time ago I was trying to search for some old friends on Facebook. Found a friend, Cissy, whom I got to know from Neopets many years ago. Facebook is so amazing. I was thinking if I ever go to Las Vegas, I can visit Cissy as well. She used to live in New York but now in North Carolina. I'm not familiar with geographical location of the different states in US. So I did a search to find out how possible I could visit her, Nicholas and Las Vegas altogether. OMFG! It's like Changi to CBD then to Jurong, but a few hundred times further!! Kaoz!! She's in the far east, Nicholas is about south west of her in Louisiana and Las Vegas in the far west!!! I can save forever for this trip. =X

Before that, I make sure I'll have a Sakura or Europe tour first! Must bug him to arrange for one of these next year!!! =D

I Need Massage!!

2009-07-03T20:17:00.000+08:00

It's been 7 consecutive days that I woke up tired, restless and feeling uncomfortable for my lower back and downwards. Really very bad!! Must be the damn new sofa bed!! I complimented a good sleep on it for the first night only. Is the mattress too hard or maybe I had been lazy just sleeping on it without stretching it open. Past few nights confined to a sleeping space of a 2 seater sofa with Mimi wanting a share as well. Tonight I shall stretch it out and try again.

Placed orders for the Ploh pillows. Should be here in 2 weeks time together with the new aircon. Woohoo!!

I've been rather lazy recently. I'm under utilizing my cameras! They are all sitting nicely in the dry cabinet. Time to get into action and inject some colours to my blog posts.

Will be back soon...

Giddy... Giddy...

2009-07-01T07:20:00.000+08:00

How the hell to prevent motion sickness?! Or simulation sickness, which is more appropriate for my case here. Just as I expected, I have problems playing the Vegas 2 which Tri recommended. I start getting sweat, feeling to puke and yawning a lot while navigating my character around in those 3D shooting games!! I had this with GTA on PS2 long ago which I abandoned that game.

I did a search on the internet and realise there are many people having this problem when playing 3D shooting games. In a forum, one suggested to cover a blanket around the TV and also his head to make the view like inside of a tent. Another one said he took pills meant for car sickness. LOL!

The cause of simulation sickness is that the illusion of motion created by the virtual world, combined with the absence of motion detected by the inner ear, causes the area postrema in the brain to infer that one is hallucinating and further conclude that the hallucination is due to poison ingestion. The brain responds by inducing nausea and mass vomiting, to clear the supposed toxin.
- Wikipedia

In other words, my eyes were staring at the TV showing the view of my character in the game, telling my brain that I'm moving and turning around while my inner ear says I'm actually sitting still in my couch. I think I probably stared too deep into the screen and got too immersed in the game. At the same time not yet familiar with the controls - I can't navigate smoothly. I bought GTA for PS3 also, I supposed it's going to be like this. Then I have Resident Evil 5 which Nicholas told me it's like this too!! Have to cope with this problem. I don't want to waste and abandon the games... Zzz...

Couch Potato...

2009-06-30T14:53:00.000+08:00

The Hubstation is really interesting. I can pause or rewind any live broadcast. I guessed I'm running out of activities to do on my computer that's why I spent most of my time the past few days watching TV. Though the shows are nice, I still think watching TV is waste of time...

The TV has been mounted on the wall yesterday, so everything's been fixed up - Wii, PS3 and PS2. Tested the PS3 but not yet started with any games. No games really interest me other than Final Fantasy. Looking forward to FF13. Nevertheless, bought Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 recommended by Tri. Haven't figure out how to play the game. Will try it later.

No photos of my room yet because I am lazy and lethargic these few days. The TV package carton is still in my room!!! Wardrobe is more messy than messy because Mimi goes in every now and then. I don't know what he do inside.

Still missing MJ....

Eventful....

2009-06-26T23:03:00.010+08:00

Seems like a lot to blog about today. The first thing I woke up as usual was check on my computer. The news headline strucked me with Michael Jackson dead! I thought it was some nonsense tabloid or gossip news with that headline to attract attention but it was for real. I'm not really a fan of him but I do like his music a lot. His album was the first CD I ever owned when our house ever bought a player. Not that I am devastated about the news but I still can't believe he really died. Surreal is the word.

Will be loved and missed. The one and only King Of Pop. Rest in peace Michael~

Woke up a little late actually. As in too late to do my chores. Did nothing other than waited for the TV to be delivered. Was so worried they would come when my father is home. Lucky they were early. Now will have to wait for the Samsung people to come on Monday to mount it to the wall. Meanwhile I can start playing with it. Hehe...

The effort to go back to the shop for exchange was kind of successful. We got the friend to go with us at the very beginning. The people never reject at all. I was wondering if we first tried to go on our own, would it be the same? Didn't really get my every cent back. Maybe lost a couple tens of bucks but it's ok. Better than the initial lost of over a hundred. Damn sales guy tried to eat a few dollars more off from me I gave in to it because I don't want to waste time argueing.

He fucking claimed that I had to compensate him the GST for the exchange. WTF?! Look... I paid $200 + GST for this thing yesterday. Today I come back to ask for an exchange and I am ONLY looking at changing things worth $200. I already lost the GST!! He claimed that I can only change for things worth $200 BUT MINUS GST. Which means $200 - 7%... Because they already submitted the sales and would be charged for GST and he also gave extra discount over the total bill with the other things I bought yesterday. What kind of fucking maths is this?! The final discount was only a little bit!! I already paid for the GST and why do I have to pay again!? Don't want to argue with him over this stupid thing and just complete the exchange and get done with it. Whoever run that shop must remember that a few tens of bucks out of his coffin was contributed by me! The shop is RoyalPlus Pacific Pte Ltd at Sim Lim Square ground floor. I don't remember seeing a signboard on their shop because they are those stalls in the middle of the atrium.

Overall still glad that exchange was possible and everything is over. Something happened later which brightened up my mood a little. Went to collect the car to leave. Found two pieces of coupon on my windscreen. I parked at the roadside lots behind Sim Lim without displaying coupon. Some kind soul left his coupons for me. God bless him! =)

Before I left, of course I collected the processed films from Triple D. Virgin roll with Diana was quite crappy. Three of the shots not usable because under exposed. Hmmm how come?! It was taken on a sunny day at the deck of the ferry while on the way back from Batam. Nevertheless, here are the pictures.

Grrr!! This was taken so long ago during the first cam whore trip with Xta. We were at Bugis Junction and it was daytime. The place was bright yet the pictures came out so dark with the flash over exposed on the faces. Must learn about how to improve on this.

This picture was taken even longer ago. =X

On the way back from Batam.

Trying multiple exposure...

One Ah Pek offered to help us take a pic. Glad he took a nice one!!

All these pictures were scanned by the shop. I had not edit them but only resized to post here. The resolution was ok but the quality quite sucky. Or is it because the film itself? Will try to scan it again myself to see if it would be better. Can save the money to pay them to scan in future.

Now I have my room done to a new layout with new TV, new bed and cabinet. If you were wondering why no pictures of my room. I will post it after the TV gets mounted and when I pack my things in place. xD

More Updates On My Room (I Know It's Boring To You!)

2009-06-26T03:15:00.002+08:00

Not in a good mood now!! Went Sim Lim to buy PS3 and got robert for other things. Buying PS3 should be a happy thing but it turned out to be unpleasant. TV order also confirmed and will arrive tomorrow.

Finally sent the first roll of 120mm from Diana to process at Bencoolen. Collecting tomorrow and will go back to the Sim Lim shop and bang table! Grrrr!!!

After the big busy day, I haven't really finished packing my things in place. Too shagged from everything and I wake up everyday feeling lethargic. Wardrobe is in a total mess. Bought two plastic drawers from Muji to put in my wardrobe. They are still brand new lying around the room.

Also went to Starhub today to collect an extra TV set top for my room since I'm going to have a TV. I gave my set to Jason long ago... I know that's illegal!! I hope no starhub personel is reading this.... Anyway, I got myself the HD Hubstation. Can't try on it because TV is not here yet. It's supposed to be able to record TV programs and also pause live TV show. Sounds cool! Argh!! I need a HDMI cable for that! Hanzi just bought me one today for the PS3, didn't expect I need another one for this. Need to get another one.. Zzz...

I am supposed to sleep now because I have nothing to do. Just can't fall asleep because the kena-robert incident is bothering me.. GRRRR!!! I hope they will allow me to do exchange for other items which are more worthy to me.

Very very very very very TIRED!!!

2009-06-23T23:55:00.000+08:00

The MAJOR revamp is finally over!! Today was fucking tiring!!! The problem with me - when it comes to special events or occassion that I need proper rest before hand, I just can't fall asleep!! I only slept an hour this morning and woke up to clear my room.

Ikea delivery and neighbour came about the same time. The Ikea guys finished installation for the furnitures and left, but I couldn't really get things done because neighbour was working around drilling wall and laying wires. The whole house was messy and dusty. I tried to pack my stuffs a little here and there. Wanted to nap a while but there wasn't any place for me to do so. Neighbour was working on both my mother's and my room, not very presentable to sleep. Sofa in the hall was filled with my things as well... Zzz.. I walked around like zombie and worked like snail!

Old man came home and kpkb at the mess around the house. Said I waste money buying things. Then comment why the fuck a new power point in my mother's room. That's for aircon wat! Then he was going like, "WTF your mother also want aircon?!" Zzz... Whether she want or not, the power point has to be there near the compressor wat! Knn!! He thinks that you can just mount an aircon on the wall and expect cool air to come out from it! Then he continue nagging and said, "Aiyah don't want to bother about you all lah! I am not going to stay here for long. I want to sell the house aledy you all still want to do so many things!" CCB! What an idiot!! Forever cooking up some meaningless things! If he cannot stand the mess during such installation, how would he ever take the hassle to move house!!!

Anyway.... Neighbour worked until quite late... About past 8PM... I informed Tri earlier that I'm not joining them for the movie... Couldn't make it in time.. So many things to finish up... Cleaned up the place but still haven't finish packing my stuffs... Too lazy to do it now and Hanzi is on the way to meet me. Haiz... Shagged... Another wave of mess coming 15th July... Aircon will be here then.. =)

It's Tuesday!!!

2009-06-23T01:05:00.000+08:00

And it's going to be a busy day. Ikea delivery coming later! Neighbour is also going to install new power points later!! All these exciting events keeping me awake when I supposed to be sleeping now then wake up earlier to prepare.

Room is still messy as it was since after painting. I have to clear all the items away before the Ikea people come, so that they have space to install the new furnitures. After that, I can start packing my things in. Wonder how long will neighbour take to install all the power points. Will be catching Transformer in the cinema in the evening. I hope I don't sleep inside there. =S

I collected the replacement dry cabinet from Cathay. It's still in the car because I have no place for it now and I'm lazy to bring that bulky package up. Maybe get him to move it for me tomorrow night.

Going to catch some sleep and wake up after my father goes to work.

Mission Completed!!

2009-06-22T03:03:00.000+08:00

FUCK! I FINALLY finished painting my room!!! Don't knn think that painting is easy!! Or maybe it's tougher for my case because the wall is uneven. I have to paint carefully by going over many strokes to get an even tone. Of course there's easy way out by dipping your roller with more paint but you''ll get splats all over the place.

Glad that I managed to complete before my father comes home. Couldn't make it to attend Huimin's chalet for her son's birthday. Finished painting and immediately moved the mess in the hall back to my room. Now my room is in a mess. Moved my computer desk following to the new layout. Ordered the new bed and cabinet already. Will be here on Tuesday. Neighbour is also coming to complete the eletrical wiring on Tuesday!! Everything on Tuesday!! I wish Tuesday can come faster because I took away the curtains, waiting for neighbour to drill the new blinds up. Afternoon sun is damn bloody fucking hot!! Anyway, next will be the aircon and TV!!! So happy!!

Sibeh fucking exhausted!!! Yet my mind can't rest... Keep thinking of how I shall arrange my things when the new furnitures come. Mimi seems to be a bit emo. Not sure if he's feeling neglected because I've been busy painting and kept him out of the room, or maybe not comfortable with the furnitures being moved, or can't stand the room now being too messy. LOL! Possibly maybe even the smell of the paint!! New formula of paint don't really smell but I'm not sure how it affect animal's nose.

Argh!! Tired... Tired.... Goodnight!

Pancit~!!!

2009-06-20T21:39:00.000+08:00

For those who don't know... Pancit is a Malay word. Most of us always pronounce as "pong chek" but it's actually pancit!!! I guess I don't have to explain what it means. I am totally pancit now!!!

Been very hardworking right after the last blog post. Fixed the bookshelves but only cleaned and loaded the books back for one of them. It took me the whole noon to paint only one of the wall. Quite productive already can! My room is very long in layout!! One more side to go.... My hands very tired and shakey now... Damn hungry and shagged.

Planned to continue everything after dinner. First is to move the computer desk over to the new location then paint the last piece of wall. Doubt I can do it now... Because I've been lazing here since dinner... Sleepy!!! It's reasonable... I haven't slept enough!! Maybe catch some sleep and continue later...

Paint! Paint! Paint!!

2009-06-20T08:41:00.000+08:00

Good morning~ I am feeling so fresh in spite having slept only 2 hours. Spent the whole night painting my room. Declared the ceiling done though I didn't totally paint the entire ceiling. Shortcut a bit since the old paint is still very clean and white. Who the fuck is going to examine my ceiling that close to notice the difference?!

Both bookshelves are emptied and moved away from the walls. Painted the wall behind the shelves. I bought the wrong colour!! I wanted something like ash grey but it came out pretty bright. It's near white and almost look the same as my ceiling. It was much darker when I saw it on the sample pallette. Argh!! Haiz... Nevermind...

I am really excited that my room is going to have a new layout, at the same time in a dilemma right now. Not sure if I should start setting my furnitures to the new layout or not. The new power points will be installed only on Tuesday so if I move my table now, there won't be any power for my computer. But then since I am shifting my furnitures around for painting, I might as well shift them to the new position to save the trouble of moving them again? I am doing all these alone and it's very strenuous!! I need to empty everything on the table before I can move it around. I NEED HELP!!!! =(

Today will be a busy day. Going to continue with the painting. I think I took about 3 hours last night to paint a 3 x 3 metres wall... =X That is slow.. LOL... But that was carefully painting the sides and corners then going over for 2 coats... The result is satisfying. =)

I Want My Room Like This....

2009-06-19T20:35:00.000+08:00

The surprise for his birthday was a stay at New Majestic Hotel. How he missed the bubble bath, champagne and strawberries from my birthday. Gave him the bubble bath and champgane but no strawberries. =Þ

I really really love the rooms at the hotel. After their revamp since years ago, I stayed once. I had a room with a loft bed. The deco so chic yet cozy! This time round I requested for other style of room. One with a bathtub of course. It was fantastic! Clean and white. Stylo!! How I wish that was my room. LOL..

Was a little shock to find the bathtub upon entering the room.

The tub just right behind the bed seperated by a clear glass.

Damn chio!!

Clean and neat.

My favourite little display beside the TV which I wanted to smuggle home.. =X

A music box that plays the Canon In D!

=D

We finished all the complimentary coffee at the refreshment counter. LOL.. Not because we are kiasu lah.. The coffee was nice and operating the coffee maker was fun... The beddings and pillows were REALLY comfortable. Apparently nowadays companies advertise their products through hotel too. The beddings were made by Ploh. So costly!! But I will definitely get a set of their pillows. Sibeh comfy!!

Expected, I came home tired... And missing the bed there.. LOL... I slept whole day and didn't paint my room. My room still in a mess. But the good news is... My father just left home heading for Genting until Sunday!! Hahaha.. I can now paint day or night whichever I want before he gets home. Neighbour called today saying he'll be here on Tuesday to finish up everything. Woohoo!!! Dream room coming true!!

Headache!!!!

2009-06-18T21:42:00.001+08:00

I know... This is the 3rd post of the day. My headache is still on. I think it's migraine. It's not unbearable, but it's just uncomfortable and frustrating. My mum gave me a tablet that she said it's painkiller. Half an hour past, don't seems to have any effect.

Went Ikea just now. Alone... Interested in some items I saw on their website, went to see the actual stuffs. More or less decided on the things I need. Once the room is ready, I can go ahead and place order. The fucking painting is damn jia lat!!! I don't wish to drag it over few days but I already did! I couldn't finish today. The damn migraine... I hope it go away by tonight so I can really get things done tomorrow. But....

Today is his birthday... I'm meeting him later and most probably stay out until morning... I hope I can tahan and continue with the painting tomorrow. My room is in a messy state with the furnitures all shuffled around.

Prepared a little nice surprise for him, but will only get to meet him later. His daughter same birthday with him! What can I say? At least he took an off day to come out with me. =)

Please Give Me The Strength!!!!

2009-06-18T07:32:00.008+08:00

Bought paint already. Was wondering how and when I should start off with the work. Not so easy as it seems when I start to think about the details. To do it one shot or spread over a few days? Finally I planned to wake up early today and try to do it all before my father come home.

I did wake up early today... But with a headache... This is not an excuse!!! Seems like my heart is pumping in my head... Zzzz... Now I just stone here at my desk, no mood for anything... I don't want to delay things further... I'm trying to go for it. I hope the headache will go away as I work on...
