of buses and trainssss....

have you been to the newest circle lines mrt? i must say that these circle lines are indeed strategically placed everywhere! of all the mrts, i tink i love this circle line the most!

the other day, i took the mrt from the bras basah station. first of all, it looked like some bomb shelter. the walls are grey and dull. perhaps it was indeed a bomb shelter doubling up as an mrt station, not the other way round. and then, the platforms are situated way way way down! it's B5 for crying out loud!
oh and before u even reached the platform, pls overcome your fear of long escalators. and if long escalators aint scary enough to scare you, try going down a looong escalator with 3 HUGE, BLACK PIPES going over u! arrrrgh...
even the elevator shaft morphs through a wall of not-sure-wat to get you from one level to the other. =S
and the seats (if you have not already realised that they are seats) are meant for ppl with tiny butts.
oh, and pls DO NOT even try to play driver and look into the tunnels. u neva know wat u might see. *raises eyebrows*

indeed, tis aint for the faint hearted.... ...

enough is enough

well, it's not usually me to be emo, crying out for attention, having yoyo emotions, etc. after all, these are the very stuffs which i totally detest. but i have to admit that the past week was bad. =( let's juz say that i've opened my eyes to the condition of the human heart. After all, “ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?"

but i've learned something over the past week.

GIVE ADVICE; IF THEY REFUSE TO HEAR, LET ADVERSITY TEACH THEM.

well i wont say that i am back with a vengeance, all charged up and ready to go. instead, i shall adopt and sit and observe kinda mentality. let's juz see how far i can go.

**********

on a side note, it's usually times like tis you can tell which your real frens are. are u a true friend? =\

death by caffeine...

or by any other means. try it here!

贱招！

贱招 #1!

the other day we turned right into this road looking for a petrol kiosk... it was a loooooong road, and so we did a ''not-so legal'' u-turn. ha. the kiosk was EMPTY, the uncle muz be glad that they have customers! after that, we went back on track to get to where we came from.

and den we were stopped. by the police. he asked "where u all come from ah? u all made a u-turn behind or further down?"

"erm we made a u-turn?"

"cannot be, cos we closed the other side of the road already. so u all made an ILLEGAL u-turn.."

"... ... ..."

thank God he wasnt out to catch illegal u-turners! now we know why the whole stretch of road was EMPTY.

**********

which led me to recall wat happened long ago in school... 贱招 #2!

remember the Assembly period? the school was kind/lazy enough to let us off during Assembly period to do what they call "self reading". well since lunch time followed, some smart alecks tot that it was ok to go out of the school campus for an early long lunch!!!!

some 10 min into the period.... the FIRE ALARM rang. and the school gate was CLOSED.

attendance HAD to be taken.

and SO, those who sneaked outta school was caught. haha. (i was NOT one of them!)

MORAL of the story: Beware of 贱招s everywhere!

appeal: anyone going down under?!

tis is my attempt to appeal to my readers... anyone going aussie? get tis for me!!!!!

should have asked hung earlier.. =(

roxie rox chicago!

the Chicago musical indeed rox! well, it's me and weiwei trying to take pics of ourselves inconspicuously. but we ended up making a big hoohar over her erm, short arms. (thus explaining y we filled up the whole pic with our faces. zzz)
and tis is how high i was at.. no wonder one can fall to his death in the esplanade theatre. ||-.-
some pics i secretly took with my appy phoney. not too bad considering we were almost touching the ceiling. well we need to get better seats in future, earlier too.
well in conclusion, it's a show that's definitely worth the money. *winks*

p.s. JAY CHOU IS NEXT!

singapore in the (not so) near future!

like... in the year 3000? we will look like japan's subway system by then...

idiom of the week

If there's one phrase to learn tis week, it would be this.

对牛弹琴 duì ​niú​ tán ​qín​
· to play the lute to a cow (idiom); fig. offering a treat to a unappreciative audience
· to cast pearls before swine
· to preach to deaf ears

well, i guess i've been getting a lot of this lately. enough is enough.

lesson learnt: if you want to behave like a cow, i wont bother to treat u humanely.

"kar kar"

arrr! i picked sis up from the airport.. and guess wat? an uninvited guest followed me home! first to supper den back home! argh!

i've decided to adopt it. it's called "kar kar". can u spot it? hehe.

extreme makeover!

for once, i am finding my cab fare worth the while. woke up at 8.44am when i snoozed a missed call. and i was supposed to be at CHINATOWN at 9am! sigh, talk abt setting a good example. thank God uncle cabbie is fast! ha, abit funny, cos i ended up directing him the way with google maps. uncle cabbies shld use iPhones too!

oh yes, and this is me and our group's team leader, kenneth! really gotta say that he rose up to the occasion when i tasked him with this responsibilitY! here's to our morning tea before the real cleaning up starts!
our group photo before we set off each separately to our designated home. we got a 3 room flat, and i was quite glad as we get to PAINT! ha, wat's Extreme Makeover without painting man!
sadly, i din manage to take pics of the super duper RETRO home. so if the cameramen have any pics, i will go steal from them! =(

TIS is the ONLY pic i took of the super duper RETRO home. check out the tiled walls! OLD SCHOOL! well, the dust on the newspapers happened to be residing in the room's aircon for god-knows-how-long... arghs! oh and i will still attempt to steal more photos if the rest of the ppl post them up!
all in all, it was a fun, albeit tiring event. special thanks to those who made the event an enjoyable one!

DOLL domination?

You Are Very Dominant

You are intensely competitive and extremely successful. You tend to naturally rise to the top of any field. You are obsessed with your goals, and you won't let anyone or anything stand in your way. You tend to like to be in charge, and it drives you crazy when you have to be subordinate to others. You are forceful, strong-willed, and even a bit bossy. Often times, it's your way or the highway.

How Dominant Are You?

**********

not a very difficult quiz, and i am merely taking it juz so i can have something to write abt. ha, is my cyberspace turning into a blog quiz zone? =(

r u ready for tis?!

Which Big 5 Personality Traits are You

another of my lunch time getaway-and-do-some-quizzes... tis following displeasure in the way others do their job. issit WRONG to demand DETAILS and EXCELLENCE?

You Are Conscientiousness

You are extremely detail oriented and organized. You do a thorough job. You stick with whatever needs to be done, no matter how long it takes. You are highly motivated and energetic. You are a valuable employee and a trusted friend. You are a planner, and you follow through with your promises. You take your commitments seriously.

Which of the Big Five Personality Traits Are You?

procrastinate!

You Should Procrastinate

Believe it or not, procrastinating is actually pretty good for you. So go ahead and do it. You work well under pressure, and deadlines don't bother you. In fact, the less time you have, the better. If you put off a task, you get it done more efficiently. There's nothing wrong with using procrastination as a way to motivate yourself. Whether you procrastinate or not, you'll eventually get the job done. The only difference is, if you procrastinate, you might do a better job.

Should You Procrastinate?

Me time

It's during times like tis, when I'm in the train on the way to the far far west, when I really have some "me" time to myself.

Well the week has been busy. Monday was the ever horrible month end close and reportings for quarter month. And it didn't help much that the (kan cheong spider) boss requested for some reports of SIX customers for the last SIX months to be ready in a jiffy. If they had provided me with a server instead of a thinkpad I might make it happen. But nonetheless, I thank God day my thinkpad did not fail me in the most urgent of times. :)

Tuesday was Pastor Z's birthday celebration at Fish & Co at the Glass House. Bday celebrations are always fun when there's many many ppl. I doubled up as the balloon holder, and even contemplated smuggling the balloons home! (pics to be up soon!)

Wednesday... Met misa up to visit her friend's mom in the hospital. Apparently her persistent, but ignored, coughs turned out to be a lung infection plus tuberculosis. Well, she didn't make it. Lesson learnt: cherish ur loved ones & never ignore small ailments. :(

Thursdays are always my tuition day! At least till october tis year. It's fun cos I get to hang out with young kids once again! And dinner is provided and I get paid! Like I've mentioned, I love employability!

Friday is CG day! A time for us to sit down and thank God for all He's done for me. A time for us to encourage and exhort. A time for me to be reminded of the call of God. Indeed it's TGIF!


And hence, tis the only "me" time I have to meself. During the journey to jwest in the train. Not a time to play some games with my iPhone nor to track others in Twitter, but a time to... Let's juz call it "take a breather". :)
