1 more week of freedom left before I enlist.

Strangely , I don't see myself getting into the "army" mood. No disconcerting thoughts at all. Just feeling very normal. In fact , I am going out as much as I can now with friends doing our usual favourite activities of kbox , pool , dinners. Did I mention that last week I went K with a brother and we sang for 8.5 hours straight till they chased us off? It was super high and it was kind of incredible that only 2 person were needed to almost bring the whole room down. No kidding. Hokkien songs and Hokkien rappings = SHIOK. 3.5 hours free too. Lagi shiok.

I think I am rather jialat. So slack now. Being part of the enhance batch in april may sounds rather propitious to people. I mean most people presume that with so many months since after the end of A levels can seize the chance to ameliorate fitness condition. For my case , this is not so because I had been working and busy earning money till recently. Now that I stopped working altogether , I chose to enjoy as much outings as possible and the only form of exercise I engage in nowadays are just lifting weights and pushups. Sounds rather strange because for all the time I have for outings , a fortiori , I should be able to fork out time to go run around the neighbourhood or something. Guess I am just too slack or something. Frankly , I am feeling rather sanguine over my fitness condition. Don't think it will emasculate to the extent that I run 2.4 km in 13/14 minutes right ? I think I can die on the spot if it really happens.

Don't care la , enjoy to the fullest now. Wasn't really happy my friend postponed the xiao long bao date today to an infinite date. Luckily original schedule resumes from tomorrow onwards. Looking forward tomorrow to try out the Japanese ice-cream at Marina Square with another friend !

I am back with GSK again for yet another stint and while attached to a full-timer touring NTUC Fairprice outlets I had the chance to ride on a motorbike for a few days. It's my first time riding pillion and was rather enthralled by it. A refreshing experience I must say. Now that I am back with the Cold Storage team , I am touring alone again. 4 days more to my end of the stint and I think is high time I end all work and rest for a full 2 weeks before I get drafted into the mandatory government male prostitution.

Rainie just released her 2nd album "Meeting Love" last Friday. I already pre-ordered her album and received an exclusive stickers' album with Rainie's self-designed neoprint stickers. She is so cute and adorable ! How I wish I can meet a girl who is cute and sweet yet in a natural way just like Rainie. I prognosticate that there will be yet another changed version of her album when she comes for autograph session or something. Isn't this a palpable stunt which record companies are very fond of pulling in order to increase album sales? Then again , I will buy out of my own volition then. Gonna keep them all in my display cupboard. They are sacrosanct :)

I finally bought Huo Yuan Chia VCD too. It's 1 of my favourite movies and I already watched it twice. The theme song is by far my most favourite song even up till now. Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo ! The opera parts are my favourite. SHUAI. Later going to watch it for the third time with my mother since she hasn't watch it and I don't mind watching it again.

NTU or NUS ?

I went to both NTU and NUS open house over the past weekend with my friends. Kudos to them for accompanying me. I am impressed with what both universities are offering in terms of quality campus life and the conducive studying environment. The whole culture in university is so different from secondary school and junior college. The feeling is just...so good. Yeah. Chatted with the students , teachers and various people from both universities to find out more information and answers to my queries. How I wish I can choose both NTU and NUS but one can't have both worlds. Seriously got to sit down and weigh my options carefully before I make my decision. Regardless of what decision I make , I know that I will not regret it and will strive towards my goals with loads of determination and perseverance.

SAFRA roadshow is finally over. Actually it was already over four days ago.

Marina Square : 41 names in 2 days
Bugis : 55 names in 4 days

I was rather disappointed with the turnout at Bugis because personally I felt that in terms of statistics the carnival at MS was much more better. The one at Bugis was not grand enough. Anyway , I am done with SAFRA. The whole stint was fun but yet tiring. Tired of always repeating the same lines and smiling just for the sake of smiling to reach the ultimate aim and that is to secure the customer's name/s. I had great colleagues working with me and when we were bored we just talked crap , joked and engaged in people-watching. My last day was the most shiok because after the dismal 12 names to my credit on saturday , I self-reflected and realised it was because I didn't secure a strategic position to 'capture' potential customers. Hence , I stood at a different area and it paid off. 30 names to my credit the next day. The feeling was great because once I broke 50 names the commission is higher , not to forget the additional basic hourly pay.

Throughout both of the roadshows in MS and Bugis , I encountered all sorts of Singaporeans. I remembered that at MS there was this couple who signed up with me. The uncle was already signing up and I was trying my very best to convince the auntie to sign up as well and in the end she did. What is interesting was what she told me.

Auntie : " I signed up because I see you like very decent , I wouldn't sign up with those who look like ah beng ah seng. "

Me : (shocked) "Erm , thanks , thank you for your support."

I was like shocked. First time somebody told me I look decent. I mean , most of the time people doesn't associate me with the word "guai" , because of my penchant for "punk-beng"-styled fashion. Just because I am into my own style which is not aligned with the norm does it mean that I am a gangster? At Bugis , the most memorable customers I met was a family of hooligans. The father and mother were rude. They were like " eh , sign where hah? " and when they talked , one will feel as if they own the world. Even between themselves , they talked as if they are uncultured barbarians. They have a young daughter and the daughter is so pretty. She inherits her mother's beautiful features but too bad her parents are so uncultured. I think it will have a negative influence on the child's development. You know , regardless of whatever people from whatever backgrounds , one thing I learnt from doing all these roadshows is that we have to treat everybody with equal respect. Only when you treat others with respect then they will trust you and respect you back. Courtesy begets courtesy. Well , I convinced the whole family to sign up , and that is all that matters.

I think the next time I am hearing from SAFRA will be at tekong.

Met up with my jc friends few days ago over kbox and it was great fun. Especially when singing "Shan Hu Hai" with my friend. She sang Lara's part well. Not many of my female friends can sing Lara's part because her pitch is so high. And the group of us played riddles over dinner. It was very fun and all of us were like so high and laughing heartily. How I wish everyday can be like this , you know , with a group of friends..doing things we enjoy doing..everybody being so happy without any worries. That will be like..wow..paradise or something.

I have been going for kbox and playing pool whenever I am free with friends so often that I am neglecting hoops-shooting sessions. Missing the rush of the adrenaline whenever I am on the basketball court. Must really fork out time to bring my baby out for workout soon.

My A level 2005 results

CLA : A
History : A
Economics : D
GP : C6

Yup , I was absolutely delighted. I was practically shaking when I took out the result slip to look . It was a real pleasant surprise and relief , happiness welled up inside me. The feeling was real great. I just want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my family , friends , teachers , agents and all those who have expectations and never ever give up on me. Thank you once again. I did it. I am able to go to university after NS.

JC life is finally over. You know , the road has been really tough because I took one year more than my 86 batch peers. I fell down once , and I was badly wounded. There were many times I felt inferior , because of my pride I lost some friends along the way. I don't blame them for leaving me. What matters most is that those who remain and support me through thick and thin are my true friends. I am really glad that I persevere and achieve my ultimate aim and that is to be able to go on to the next phase of education in the university.

I thanked most of my teachers who taught me in my 3 years in NYJC for their guidance and support after collecting my results. Especially my chinese and history teachers for their invaluable advices. They never gave up on me , and made me believe that failing once is not the end of the world. I fell , I got up and worked towards my goal. No complains on my results , because frankly speaking I was getting the jitters just before collecting results. I even called 1 of my agents ask her what was the highest level of her building (in the end she jokingly said she still open her window for me in case I need to use it to jump down , lol shit her man). I thought I will get a F for econs and get mediocre grades for the rest. Well , I am going to throw away all my econs notes and books within these few days. The word "econs" and relevant stuffs will be kicked out from my world from today onwards.

NYJC is a place that has given me the most memorable but yet painful experiences and memories so far in my educational years. Given a chance again , I don't think I will want to go through this path again. Is too long and painful. Yup , just going to look forward to continue the next and final stage of education in university then will officially step into society to work and earn a living.

Went out just now to celebrate by going kbox at Marina Square with my pal. This new outlet is much more classy than other outlets and the service is excellent though they are rather strict by the timing so cannot take advantage of free singing. Later will be visiting my hairdresser who is finally back from holiday for haircut and possibly a new shade of colour on my hair. :)
