flyers
i have a new respect for flyers-distributors.before, i used to sympathise only with those who stand at a same spot all day handing out flyers to people who will most problem shun them like a plague.
i pitied them even though i never tried distributing flyers before. so sometimes when i am not in a hurry, i go around collecting flyers from these people, (not specially going out to collect from them. i mean like on my shopping trips or whatever) because they can only go home when they have finish distributing all that they are given.
sometimes i stretch out my hand before theirs to get their flyers but only to crush them into a ball within the next 2 metres. i never thought about this act until today when i saw an uncle crushing MY FLYER THAT COST ME MONEY TO PRINT AND EFFORT TO DISTRIBUTE seconds after receiving it from me.
UGH!! couldn't he wait at least until i was out of sight. i tried to turn away as fast as i could but i still managed to hear the sickening crushing sound. should have put my ipod on.
Sigh. Being a property agent, though fun and lucrative, is quite tiring. I reached home after midnight last night after going to sel's house at 1145pm to get a bloody set of newspapers that i needed. to make matters worse, i got the wrong paper so i had to go there twice. (if u recall, i had a really bad day on tuesday) spent 4 hours doing a flyer for distribution today and then went to print, went to cut, went to distribute, carried my more than 2kg laptop (i needed it for work today), floor by floor, door by door, and then? this guy just crushes it. ugh. he could have gave me back if he has no plans to sell is house.
hai. the only thing that can make me feel better is that someone calls my handphone to arrange a sale now. okok, i'm wrong. there's another thing that can make me feel better but i think that one is a bit hard to make possible (i know there's a word for "make possible" but it slipped my mind for a while)
well, rest time for me now. shall rest my weary bones.
tuesday sucks
my tuesday just ended, 3.5 hours into the new day.didn't sleep a wink the night before till 8am as i kept thinking about issues which i thought were important. woke up to do something stupid. end up worrying about the consequences, even up till now. sigh. is it futile? i don't know but i would really love the happy ending that i could give you.
work sucked. went to do some printing in the office but after 19 MRT stations, 2 bus rides and 1.5 hour later, the printer was spoilt. tried to detect the other printers in the office but couldn't. only managed to do it just before i was about to leave work. but alas, had problems with the risograph. 500 flyers still left uncut. then i went on a mad newspaper article hunt which ended with me reaching home at midnight. and now, 3 hours later, wednesday, i finally designed 2 flyers, ready for tomorrow. i mean later.
alright, off to bed now. in 7 hours i'd have to be in office. ugh!!
wednesday had better not be this bad!

yes selena, i'm surrounded by idiots too
the neighbour downstairs came up to our place at 5am yesterday (that's right, 5 in the morning before the sun rose) to complain that we have been banging on the floor the whole night through.which is totally absurd. i mean, why would i stay up all night till 5am to knock on my floor just so to irritated her when i could be blogging (like right now) instead?!
she claims we kept her up all night and insisted we stopped the constant banging. we wish we could help you but the truth is, no one is as retarded up here as it is a unit below us.
the only reason we could think of is our new aircon which probably wasn't insulated properly on the ledge and thus creates a constant knocking noise. well, too bad for you. we can't do anything about it and the repairman can only make it tomorrow.
so right now, one night later, she's kicking on her wall in a bid to irritate us. i hope God would preserve her ankles from all that kicking cos it must hurt a lot. especially when i'm the only one awake now and the only noise i'm producing is from the tapping of the keyboard.
perhaps i should go down at around 5am to ask her if she slept soundly tonight and if the noise level was more acceptable. afterall, it's only right to be a good neighbour to check on each other at 5am in the morning, right?

BBQ with the 'toes

we had a really good time at the BBQ last saturday. it's been a while since we last met up among the terzettos and it really was nice to once again have fun and talk cock and watch jeffrey do silly things. for those who didn't come, this is a pictorial account of what you've missed.

the army of drinks

first battalion

commando unit -- Major Johnny Walker

the colourful support division

you will never guess how much these things cost

fresh from the vineyard. the tomatoes i mean.

and this was what became of them

the main parade

guess who isn't allowed any more cooking after burning the sausages?

"you are so evil to display those burnt sausages as if they were so nicely done!"

the latest BBQ contraption

Jeffrey trying to bonehead every possible picture

kevin's aura

the guys taking the beef hostage

the battle of the last marshmellow

selena putting her Anti-Ba Zhang Defence System to the test.
it failed miserably.

kevin accidently broke selena's wrist. told her she was way too thin.
looks like a job for Mr Fixitall!

the sleepless dilemma
i'm starting to hate sleeping.got into bed at 4 but found myself still tossing and turning an hour later.
i just don't want to go to bed, to dream of something near unattainable.
yes, though it feels great to be with you in my dreams but when daylight sets upon my sleepy eyes, the melancholy sets in.
"if it ain't broken, don't fix it" they say but what if maybe we could work out, only at the risk of losing everything we have now if things go awry?
would it be worth the risk?
i don't even know how you feel and i don't want to be like the predecessors - apart.
and i don't want another sleepless night. sigh.
give me a sign, somewhere, anywhere.
i know you know. you aren't that dumb. i just wish i knew what to do.
God help me.

merci de tout Monsieur Henry.nous nous rappellerons que toi et toi ferez partie toujours de nous

dreams
those dreams i've been having..they keep me up all night..
could it be you?
is it a sign?
Wednesday, June 20, 2007
i try not to be sexist but there's a reason why cars stop at a zebra crossing. you're just not smart enough to figure it out yet
there's this thing about woman drivers that bugs me.so far i almost got killed twice on the road by woman drivers. once when i was driving and she cut straight into my path when negotiating an entrance from the slip road to the main. moreover my whole family was in the car at that time. stupid !@#$..
and today, guess what? after visiting joreen at the hospital, while crossing the zebra crossing, all the other cars stopped along the two lane road (one in each direction) but this one stupid bitch (she deserves to be called one) overtook all the cars that were waiting in line and went at quite a fast speed towards the crossing. she only managed to see me at the last moment and jammed at the brakes, just managing to avoid hitting me. for all you know, i could be in the same hospital block as joreen now. damn bitch. that sheepish look you gave have guilt written all over it.
i swear, if i ever have daughters, i'll do the right thing and ban them from learning driving. unless they prove otherwise.
PS: I'm not sexist. I love girls. it's just that some girls shouldn't be allowed on the roads. okok, not some. a large majority. i don't see why some girls whom i know can drive well even when under the influence of alcohol while some others can't even if they are wide awake.
my "day off"
i didn't do much work today. just went down to the office to collect some documents and i was off. had been a little troubled by the the challenge of the job but felt alright after the manager sent me some messages of encouragement. was deeply appreciated.and i thought that since i was in the area, might as well go visit joreen to see how she was doing.
she's been kept in an isolation room since her operation as she is very weak and needs to be kept in a dirt free environment till she recovers.
she seems well enough when i visited her. was her usual cheery self. went to cheer her up and update her on the latest news and antics that we've been up to. it was nice to see her laugh that much. gives me the reassurance that everything is fine.
her white platelets though are very low. it took a sudden dip on monday and from a normal level of 4 (i'm not sure of the SI Unit), it dropped to 0.07 only, which to me is frighteningly low. this meant that she had practically no immune system and can fall ill very easily.
brothers and sisters in Christ, i appeal for your prayers that joreen might recover and that God would chose to use her situation, just like He had done with the man born blind in John 9.
In John 9, the disciples asked what wrong had the man or his parents done that he deserved to be born blind? their thinking was that of our chinese cultural beliefs that it is because of some great sin or wrongdoing in our "past lives" that we suffer in the present one, with disabilities and all.
But Jesus replied. "neither this man nor his parents have sinned. but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life"
Jesus then went on to heal the man who had been born blind.
so i pray that God has a similar miracle installed for joreen in His plans, and even though she's not a believer, but she has an open heart and is willing to listen to what i have to say about the God i worship. this is more than i can ever ask for.
shall go down to share more with her tomorrow. loved the look of her surprised face when she saw me enter unannounced. priceless!

perhaps
i felt the void.the part where karen used to come in to give me strength when i feel weak or incapable. It's just so unavoidable.
perhaps it's the stress from the job that exposes this fraility in me. i feel lost, somewhat incapable of doing things right and the constant worry that i might screw up big time and cause a whole deal to collapse and watch my commission fly away. the worst part is, would i be disappointing the people who have been helping me all the while?
perhaps i just think too much.
been meeting xingdi these days for lunch or whatever. she's one of the things that keeps me sane for now i guess. thank god for a good friend like her. if not, maybe i'd have gone bonkers by now or something.
perhaps K.W.R.
perhaps God can give me the strength if i really put all my trust in Him.
perhaps i need a certain type of love.
perhaps friends are all i need.
perhaps i should just focus on what i'm doing and ignore the competiveness in the industry.
perhaps..

the sudden realisation
after working as a property agent, i suddenly realised one thing...the saddest place for singles to be is not fort canning park on a weekend..
it's actually the HDB Hub.
There you actually see who's been taken already and how blissful they are while you are still.. well.. alone.
Oh God, send me someone quick! Or is she already around me, just waiting for something magical to occur?
giving thanks
thank the Lord for preserving me on my way to church on Sunday. i was a little tired from all the work i've been doing the night before. only slept at 3am.while driving to church, i came across the junction of beach road and bras basah and the lights showed a green arrow. so i went across it without thinking much as i was in the right of way and not very awake.
but at the next junction, i took for granted that the lights showed a green arrow as well when instead it was a green light and that there was oncoming traffic! i was about to make a right turn when i saw this merc coming towards me and suddenly realised i was supposed to give way.
thank God i managed to stop in time. if not i wouldn't be here typing this now.
and also work has been ok. getting to know what i'm supposed to do more clearly but i'm still a little uncertain about certain procedures and how to go about doing certain things. really thankful for Jonathan as he has been guiding me along quite often at the expense of his own time. and God is really looking after me. not only has He provided Jonathan to look after me, He has also allowed me to meet the right people.
Just like today where i happen to have a lead to selling a unit and i was unsure of landed property and its procedures as i've missed those lectures because of the exams. so i know nothing about it. but as God would have it, He let me meet a Vincent who happens to be an expert in it, and he was nice enough to share some tips with me. he later confessed he seldom talked to new staff like me, much less give advice but seeing that i was jonathan's friend, he eventually warmed up to me. the best part was, he was seldom in office, and i managing to meet him itself was more than mere coincidence.
Thank God also that he has preserved Josephine who underwent an operation today, it was successful and she has already been discharged and given 3 days to rest at home. CGH really = Can Go Home, she says. Praise God.
it's only monday and i have this much to share. imagine how the rest of the week would be like!
Saturday, June 16, 2007
hospital abbreviations
had this conversation with Josephine the other night when she was telling me she was going for an operation this coming monday. seems like quite a handful of people around me are being admitted into hospitals these days. hope this can put a smile on their face, even it may be a notch above being lame.If you are admitted into Changi General Hospital, don't worry.
Can Go Home
And if you are in Singapore General Hospital, it's even better.
Sure Go Home
National University Hospital?
Normally Unimpeachable Hospitality
but if you're in Tan Tock Seng Hospital.. it's best you...

The War on Michael Bay
I'm really looking forward to the new Transformers movie coming out on June 28.It's one of the cartoons I grew up with and it gives a nice sense of nostalgia to be able to relive my childhood again -- watching the heroic Autobots fight the evil Decepticons while the humans run around helplessly for some dramatic effect.
It'll be so nice to see the familiar faces of Optimus Prime and other characters like Bumblebee and Megatron fighting against one another.
But noooo.....
Michael Bay just had to rape my childhood!! Look at what he has done to all the characters that I grew up with!

Optimus Prime before being raped.

Optimus after the rape.
Tell me, which damn part of the new Optimus even look like the original one?! I'll be spending so much time during the film trying to recognise who is who instead of enjoying it!
And look what they did to Megatron!

Original Megatron, evil in his red eyes.

New Megatron. Nicknamed by the online society as "Vagina Mouth"
And let's not even mention Bumblebee. It isn't even a volkswagen anymore!

Yes, that's the new Bumblebee.
It just screams "what the hell?!"
No respect, Michael. You have no respect.
If viewed as a CGI movie, Transformers would be considered brilliant. But as a Transformer movie, then I must say, it totally shatters my childhood memories.
I mean, what's so bad about the old Transformers anyway? The charm, the wit, the sarcasm...
even if Michael Bay had done it the old fashion way, I don't think i would have mind. Just don't do it with live actors like these two..

I would faint.

the post about arsenal
it's been quite depressing the past few days trying to filter out any significant news about my favourite foreign club -- arsenal.either they have been doing a really good job at keeping their transfer targets secret or there's really nothing going on behind the scenes! i mean, i know it's summer and they are probably in spain or italy enjoying the sunshine but look at our competitors!!
Man Utd spent like £50M before most managers even battled an eyelid!
Nani, the new Cristiano Ronaldo
Owen Hargreaves, the new Keane
and Anderson, a Brazilian playmaker.
That's 3 HUGE players already!
Chelsea was also active in the transfer market, though trying hard not to spend a single cent but still managed to sign 3 new players in:
Alex, that stupid defender who dashed our champions league dreams
Steve Sidwell, former Arsenal kid
and Claudio Pizzaro.
Heck, even that shit team who plays in white and blue from north london have also made their first signing in Gareth Bale.
But us?
One Lukasz Fabianski. a keeper for the future maybe.
how about the striker we need in case Henry injures himself? (noticed i never mention him leaving cos i have faith that he will stay. at least for another season.)
or the wide player? ribery already left for bayern munich even though he wants to play in next season's champions league. (bayern for the first time in a few years didn't qualify for it next season by the way.) malouda? never heard of him really cos he's been in the french league all this while. i hope we really wrestle him from liverpool.
all i have managed to scrap up the past week is about us trying to poach a stewart from that shit team who plays in white and blue from north london. a stewart?! i hope that's not our major signing of our season!
and then to make matters worse.. nike just had to do it...

arsenal in white. fantastic. "what a brilliant idea" i hear someone say.
after getting rid of the stripes of barcelona and juventus and ruining man utd's home jersey, they decided to try to make us look like that shit team who plays in white and blue from north london, whom we happen to have a grudge against.
and if you think they'll stop there, wait till you see what they have come up with for our national jersey. you'd be shocked. i promise.

day 3 of freedom -- the gathering
day 3 -- shopping, shopping and more shopping!! can lull time get any better? hmm, well, possibly, with more money maybe. :)and then it was off to meet my platoon mates in the evening for dinner at marina bay. not too bad, did managed to catch up on the latest news and to revel in the nostalgia. fantastic.
just wondering if i should defer my ICT or not. tough decision.
thanks alan for organising. :)

praises
Praise the Lord that Joreen's stem cell transplant operation was a success and please continue to pray over her that she will make a full recovery and not suffer another relapse. Also, pray for the doctors that are attending to her, that they would have the wisdom neccessary to treat her condition and speed up her recovery.For those who have been praying or looking out for her, I thank you for your concern and well wishes.
day 2 of freedom -- the marathon
today was a day of unexpected changes. was supposed to go on a photography field trip with bernice this morning but she called it off late last night. and after thinking about the possibility of a movie on friday with shay, i decided against it. $9.50 is just so not worth it. besides, mum cook dinner and it's been a while since i last ate her cooking.so after going on a cycling expedition today, i decided to try a marathon today. well, actually it started last night but i had to have a pit stop of 7 hours to recharge my batteries.
from the moment daylight greeted my eyes, there was no stopping me. breakfast in front of the idiot box, popped in the dvd and it was unstoppable.
7.5 hours of prison break. i never thought it would be that addictive really. the coffee cup from the morning was still there when i took out the last disc from the dvd player!
but after all, i missed it when they first showed it on channel 5 but now that the exams are over.. it's time to do some serious catch up work.
i'm almost done with the entire season since started watching last night and is only left with the finale discs. that's just 3 discs left!! after that i know what will most probably happen. i'll be yearning and waiting for season two to begin.
just got to keep reminding myself to get up and walk a bit in between episodes, lest i get deep vein thrombosis or something. without advertisement, that's really easy to overlook.

the price of freedom
day 1 of freedom -- the expedition
east coast?been there done it. finally cycled the whole of east coast from start to finish with shay today. we started from our home town of tampines and did the entire length of east coast, from 1030this morning. i only reached home at 1530. but it was refreshing. it's been a long while since i done anything that can be considered exercise (i used to think eyelid lift-ups were exercise) and come the first day of holiday, i bothered to haul my ass out of bed to do some work out. that itself is a great achievement already. haha!
and it was nice, the whole route, from tampines, pass the reservoir, follow the canal, and go along bedok camp, under the underpass and emerge at the head of east coast park. 35km in all, i reckon. and moreover, i got the tan i long wanted without having to strip and frighten anyone away.
and the weather was nice too. check out the pics:

the tampinesians

where lonely bikes go

the city afar

sand structures
looking back, i've learnt some valuable lessons this time:
1. wear singlet while cycling. the tan looks more normal.
2. never wear a watch if you wanna work a tan.
3. nor sunglasses.
4. sand is a little more trickier than tarmac. cycling is not as easy.
upcoming events
7 june - cycling to east coast park with shay8 june - photography field trip with bernice
9 june - platoon dinner outing at marina
10 june - church and maybe amadeus practice. i'm still undecided.
11 june - work hopefully.
somewhere between here till july - shop like mad at GSS.
23 june - tentative Terzetto BBQ. (REMEMBER TO BOOK THE PIT, XINGDI!!)
somewhere in july - prawning selena. with selena i mean.
19 aug - josephine's birthday bash. and i really mean bash.
somewhere in aug -- taiwan trip. dependent on how many houses i sell.
sept - school starts for the last time in my life.
oct 26-nov2 - stupid in camp training.
dec - caroling? with terzetto? just maybe only.

it feels different tonight
it felt different when i sat on this same chair, as i have been doing so often the past few days to study. it just feels different today. it feels more comfortable. more easy on the backbone.. more relaxed.. an apt word would be relief.yes it's finally over. after 34 days panicking, i can finally relax. and blog more often maybe. the last paper is finally over, but best wishes to those who still have papers coming up on friday. or any other day.
law today was a give-away really. the questions were quite straight forward but i think i screwed up over one. but nevermind, it's done and over with. headed down to town with mrs png and edward to meet wailoon for dinner at swensens after that. had a good time of hmm.. shall i say bonding? yeah. think that's just right. oh and teasing too. yeah, you know my nature.
(sorry mr png, but the chances to tease your wife was just too good to pass up. haha!)
afterwhich, we soaked up the great singapore sale atmosphere along orchard road, going from heerens, to taka, to wisma, to tangs (for a few seconds) then paragon. and i've finally bought the bag which i have been eyeing for nearly a few months already. so better get it before the GST increase. after all, government give us money, better spend when can la!
shall leave you with some pics from our dinner. freedom feels great, really.
;)

the diners

the teaser and the teasee

the urm.. guys. yeah. wailoon and edward. from left to right.

fundamentalism
fundamentalism.to stick close to the word of the lord, no deviations allowed.
that's what i chose to believe in.
i'm so glad i went for BFC's mini conference today on the charismatic and grace movements within The Church.
it really opened my eyes a lot as to whether these sort of things are accepted by CHRIST. or whether these are things which men think are either good ideas to draw people to the faith.
i remember dawn asked me once about charismatic churches, and she brought out a point, that they do bring people to the faith, so they can't be doing much wrong right?
unfortunately, what we learn today is that the big crowds are not what we think they are.
are they all unsaved people, flocking to the church to be saved as if Jesus was coming back tomorrow?
or are they the weaker Christians from other traditional churches, merely seeking to be entertained by rock stars or pop stars that the mega churches offer? these only think about themselves, preferring to be entertained and have a short and simple feel-good sermon instead of fully focusing on God's word with the churches they used to be in.
a more stylish looking cup doesn't make the coffee in it taste any better than one from a dull looking cup. it's still the same coffee! yet sadly, it seems like most people prefer drinking out of a more fanciful cup.
do not be fooled by the size of the church. yes, people do get saved in mega churches, that can't be denied but how many who go there are actually unsaved in the first place?
some say God's presence is stronger in big churches, i tell you that's nonsense. God's presence is in every church, big or small, in every believer.
but to be fair, i shall attend a mega church service at least once. i have friends both in 2 of the biggest churches in singapore, city harvest and new creation, and i would really love to visit them to see what it is really like in their service and then compare to what is written in the bible in 1 & 2 Timothy as well as what is being done in traditional churches like mine.
questioning what we believe is the only way we can discern wrong from right.
and when i have learnt more about what God expects of us, i will be blogging more, in an attempt to share what the bible says, to christians and non-believers alike.
and don't be mistaken, i'm not claiming that the mega churches are no good or whatever. i'm not lambasting them. it's not my position. i'm merely curious to know the truth, and by that, i mean the way that our Lord Jesus intends the faith to be since the first century. it doesn't matter if it's 20th or 21st century (someone once "reminded" me it's 2007 and hinted that i should "chill out"), God's words NEVER CHANGE, be it 2007 or 7 AD. i hope we keep this in mind.
and what better research material do we have then in the bible?
to all the christians reading out there,
please remember -- it's a cause, not a competition!
