Forgotten not!

Dear blog,

I have not forgotten you.. right now is 2.30am in Busan and i'm feeling.. a little lonely here in my small cold room... sleeping soon though since day 3 blog is rather long..

With so much time at hand, i've been thinking.. lots of stupid things.. tired from all the early dawn and outing, but had great fun.. actually i don't know what to expect from Ms Jane tomorrow.. but i hope the buddy she's going to assign to me will be nice? I hope timetable will be out too.. will i have breakfast in hall? How much is the hall fee? When do i pay? Where are my classes? filled with lots of question marks in my mind.. but only the empty room and me..

Know i'm a let-down sometimes.. i hope i can be more understanding in future.. haiz.. things i wanna do, i can never do.. everything seems to be against me.. i hate it..

haha.. just got a link from Mr Brown show "We need you baby":

Bali Thai

hmm... Today had an outing with Jo1, Wanjing and Yu Chun! Went Suntec Bali Thai Restaurant for lunch!! Not bad leh.. we had set lunch, but the cost made us broke.. :( i can eat 13 plates of fried oysters!! Nevertheless we had quite a good time la.. just crapping as usual.. haha.. fun leh.. or at least they really didn't laugh at my cold jokes... LOL... After which i went to check out the auto-roaming services and bought another set of thermal wear! Kinda spent a bomb already.. enough for me to buy another new IBM laptop!!

haha.. anyway, thanks Jo1 for your Premium Milk Chocolate with Almond Bits! I will share it with everyone.. :)

Almost packed everything already.. Filled with anxiety and don't know what to expect. I just hope when i flew over, my family will be safe and my friends will do well in their life.. I just hope my parents are safe..

Oh ya! I have set up a new blog for my Korea trip!
http://dong-a-university.blogspot.com/
I'll post most of the pictures there.. well.. as for this blog, i'll carry on and post my thoughts here.. :)

Seeds

What is the foundation of all relationships? I don't know what's mine.. maybe everything is just too good to be true.. my relationship is not all rosy afterall..

It is like a field and i'm sowing. I knew at the end of the day i will reap what i sow. Throwing all kinds of seeds into this field.. a few "trust" seed fall.. although it's growing slowly, nevertheless it is thriving well.. i wouldn't say all grow, but i believe will grow sufficiently for me to reap at the end of harvest..

Some "happiness" seeds fall, one or two eaten up by the birds, but in this field, this kind of seed sprout fast and die fast... so it does not matter if it was eaten up because it will sprout fast.. "happiness" seed don't last forever, so the farmer is thankful that it does sprout out in its lifetime..

Some "out-of-shape" seeds fell onto the field.. this kind of seed is the most pitiful, because other seeds despise it.. even the farmers who sow these seeds deem it as a futureless seed and will grow up to be a sucky plant. But this "out-of-shape" seed taste awful and the birds avoid it. It's shape allows it to tunnel deep into the soil and allow the roots to grow deep. Most importantly, it does not require lots of water to survive.. This plant will grow, but it will grow up lonely.. and forgotten maybe.. no matter how well he grow, he will never be reaped by the farmers.. because to the farmers, it is a sucky plant.. deformed..

Some "evil" seeds fell too.. it has lots of throns, and are too small to be seen.. the farmer knew these kind of seed will destroy the whole crop.. he puts in lots of patient, hard work and pain removing it.. everytime he tried to remove it, the seed will spike his hand, causing blisters on his hands..

I have thrown too many "easy-to-grow" seed.. but this kind of seed dies easily.. or maybe i didn't really sow these kind of seeds, but tried to pull them up to hasten their growth, without knowing i'm destroying what i sow..

I am not a trustworthy guy to walk through your life with...

i want to learn how to nuture a plant. I'm just not good at it..

haiz.. it's too late.. all the seeds are growing..

Busy.. and amazed..

Accomplished a lot of things! Took off on Thursday and i manage to do the following:

1) Go Newton MRT Korean embassy to collect my VISA

2) Go to IRO to collect the package for Ms Jane in Dong-A Uni

3) FYP briefing conducted by Kristen

4) Take acceptance letter from YF ( thanks so much! ) and return Jess her earring

5) Had lunch with Wei Bin, YF, CCC, Yu Sheng and Jess

6) Go Yio Chu Kang and collect my laptop from Yun guang ( thanks YG! )

7) Return to Sengkang OCBC branch and enquire about my cheque

8) Change a new nets card in POSB bank

9) Went home take receipt, then proceed to bugis to exchange for the new 1G ram i bought

10) Go home, then cycled to compasspoint again to fetch someone dear to me, then accompany her home before reaching home at 12.15am

Seriously, i'm just practically travelling around Singapore on thursday. Shag out on fri.. haha.. but when i return to work ( my final day ), we gave our colleagues little sweets and surprisingly they gave me a nice Seoul book in chinese!! I've yet to read it.. and i'm going to do so for the next few days! Thanks so much.. :)

I also received free tourist map and travel guide from the Korea Tourism Organisation! Thanks!Been busy all these while.. packing mostly.. everything is more of less settled and i'll be flying on Wednesday at 8.40pm. I hope everything is alright! Was talking with my parents on saturday also.. rather troubled by some issues at work.. maybe will head bedok later and help them..

Wow.. actually i'm amazed by Michael Phelps.. truly the greatest Olympian.. i really hope he can achieve 8 gold medals. I believe he'll be remembered as one of the greatest man ever lived.

May the best man wins!

The Vitamin C story

haha.. actually there is no vitamin C story. Was in Compasspoint level 2 Watson shopping for some Vit C effervescent ( from Redoxon ). Heard a lot of good effects of Vit C, including strengthening immune system and it's antioxidant effect. Without knowing that i'm a science student, a staff approached me and recommended me a tablet form of Vitamin C from Brands.

She says the following: "I recommend this to my customer because of this added selenium which can help in the uptake of vitamin C. Some of them with sinus take already feedback to me that this product is useful. Also, selenium is an antioxdiant that helps remove the free radicals in the body, improving the body functions.. etc"

Eh.. in fact i'm not impressed with what she's saying because i believe she don't know what she says. Should not be a pharmacist i believed.

1) I buy vitamin C purely for it's highly effective antioxidant effect. I doubt selenium has such good effect as vitamin C.

2) Both product contain zinc which are believe to complement it's effect with vitamin C.

3) Vitamin C is highly biodegradable ( i.e. broken down easily ). Why would i choose a slow release tablet compared to the fast-release effervescent? The fact that you recommend me the slow-release tablet already shows that you don't know the nature of vitamin C.

4) Excess intake of selenium is toxic. According to wiki, symptoms of selenosis include a garlic odor on the breath, gastrointestinal disorders, hair loss, sloughing of nails, fatigue, irritability and neurological damage.

So what if i'm lack of selenium? Simple. Eat nuts, cereals, meat, fish, eggs, crab, lobster etc.. LOBSTER?? my fav.. i guess i'm never lack of selenium.

I'm proud of my vitamin C..
because you know every intricate area of my body best and i know your nature well..

Bony shoulder?

Took this picture from feng feng's blog..Was wondering if this couple was really happy? Don't the girl feel uncomfortable if the boy's shoulder is bony? Even if the boy is fit, how much cushion can his muscle give? Well.. unless the girl's face is fleshy, she would feel comfortable no matter where she put her head.. ( and i don't think i'll wear this kind of bear-bear-headed shirt.. )

They should have lie down instead.. more comfortable..

Eh.. anyway it's a cute picture.. and i felt loved too.. (^.^)

By the way, how many "hearts" can u find in the picture? i found 6! Cos one of them is on the chair..

Can't help being lame at times..

天真

What exactly is a sacrifice? Sacrifice is something you do it in your own accord for someone at the expense of time and effort, and don't expect anything in return..

in the end?

yup.. you got nothing in return because u expect nothing in return.

Just like what someone told me, aim for the stars so that when u fail, at least u got the mountains. This is a stupid analogy because u just consoling yourself when u fail, which is not what i want. Naive.

Sometimes i hate it when people do things just for the sake of doing it, without thinking of what they are doing, and just do it because people want them to do it. Don't u have brains to think for yourself? And these people who don't know what they are doing, reprimand people who know what they are doing. This world is cuckooed.

How nice if people can live together without friction.. Perhaps that's why people always say "absence makes the heart grew fonder".. because there is no friction when that person is not around.. no friction.. no anything.. just you yourself.. you bother about yourself only.. and live for yourself..

Thinking of something... Some things happen around me and i cannot stop it from happening.. i just have to accept it.. I have no control over some matters which are important to me.. but that "matter" is not really something important to everyone. So when i say nothing and do nothing, everyone is happy..

Everyone happy can already.

What if you cannot get the things u want? Will u strive hard to get it? What if it's not the things other people want you to have it? What if it's the things other people don't want you to have it?

Don't bother then. Everyone happy can already.

Felt like meek guy.. lots of stuff i want to do in my mind, but it remains in my mind. Like a mice wanting to explore the world, yet afraid of the unknown. Like a mice wanting to break free and lead a new life, yet manipulated by the "do-this-only-because-this-is-good-for-you" attitude unknowingly.. Wanted to change the world, but who am i to change when i cannot even change myself.. the lazy me, the pervertic me, the bo-chap me, the timid me, the quarrelsome me, the weak me.

Indeed.. no matter how much i say, i'm still weak. I'm still someone who don't deserve a second blink in the eye. I'm just a calerfare.

Maybe i'm not living for myself, but i'm living to the standard of other people.

Must get use to being alone.. i believe i'll be alone most of the time for the next 4 months.. Let it be a period of time for me to think of my future and decide what is best for me..

Anyway this entry is nostalgic.. filled with a mixture of different feelings.. mixed together.. what do you get in the end?

Mini Angels

Finally get to blog. My computer has gone crazy and i just could not log on. Even talking to my friends took tremendous effort, fighting with the repeated restarting.. Anyway this is just a quick update of what happen past few weeks!

Not long ago, Li Ping just graduated and went to Taiwan! Haha... and this is what she bought for me! Cute right? The two mini angels in a plastic container ever so happy.. This is really a nice gift.. Thanks Li Ping! I like it..
Haha.. and surprisingly, my mum bought some cute stuff for the 4 of us too! I think this is the sort of "in" things u can find these days... haha.. This is what she gave me!Mickey and Minnie! Initially i thought it's just an ordinary ornament, but it turn out to be something special..

Under normal condition, these creatures appear harmless and innocent: And when the night comes, when no one is looking, they starts to light up playfully!!! First with a uniform blue fluorescent...Then slowly transform to their individual special power.. Hmm... this is very colourful right? To me, they are mini chameleons!!! Oh ya.. we notice there is one special little "Zhao Cai" cat that is very "outstanding? :P My mum bought the mickey and minnie for me because i'm born in the year of a rat. Bought rabbit for Eunice because she's born in the year of rabbit. Bought pooh for Esther because she likes pooh. But why buy "Zhao Cai" cat for Joshua?? This cat glow to tell us the answer:Because Joshua likes dog. This cat will attract dogs -_____________-"

The four of us roared like crazy that night.. :P

Back to my crushed computer.. i don't know why everytime i use until halfway, this blue screen will just pop out: Finally testing my patience, i rage a war with the unknown "virus" lurking in my computer. I have decided to eliminate it by total annihilation: Rescue and Recovery. But to the "virus", it's nothing to him and he even finds it useless to type so long to me. In the end, the "virus" shorten his words to only 4 lines:
Good gracious. Now my computer crash and cannot even activate the Rescue and recovery manually, how to bring it to korea?

Finally out of fun, i took a picture with my beloved sister Esther:
Haha... lazy girl always lying down and use laptop.. Thanks for reading my blog! I just hope the korean embassy will be kind to me and allow me to apply for the VISA without the original acceptance letter from Dong-A Uni..

忍

忍到忍无可忍 = 放弃
忍到忍无可忍， 但还是忍 = 忍耐

How true it is. Everytime people say 忍到忍无可忍 , it is just another excuse. In broken relationships / marriages / studies / work, giving up always seems to be an easier option. In this world, who can truly persevere up till the end, believing what they always believe?

Have been working as a loanshark for exactly 5 weeks already. Getting used to calling strangers and "act busy". "Act busy" is a well known classic tranining programme in SAF and it's up to good use now. Back to work stuff, i believe there are always lessons to be learned. Some people own money still act as if they are big fuck. It does not matter how small the amount, but it's your attitude. Scold me until &!^%#^! ( words just cannot do justice to my feeling ). Some girls are particularly nice to talk to, very polite and willing to take time to explain their accounts to me ( though i don't dare imagine if "Cynthia" is a 50 year old lady or a 28 year old lady ).. Appreciate this kind of nice people around.. perhaps they know i'm in a difficult position also? No one likes to owe people money.. and no one likes to be scolded for nothing..

Seriously some people really makes me boil. Was taking the three mode of transport ( LRT, MRT, SBS ) everyday to work. Guess what. Everyday i'm "squeezed". People are so kiasu. I was already standing close to the MRT door and people just squeeze through ( between me and the door ), practically "sticking" themselves to the door, desperately wanting to grab a seat or be the first to pass through the door once it's opened to win a golden seat. What the &$*# Was trying to board a bus, a malay man was standing close to a girl.. This girl was close to me so i let her go first. When i was about to board, this guy is not giving up and definitely not gracious to let me go, keep squeezing until he almost kissed me. I stared at him as if he is the biggest pervert. Sometimes i just get upset over the behaviours of some ungracious Singaporeans. Anyway i'm so tired everyday that i just KO after 1-2 stops.

Have been thinking + stoning ( done simultaneously ) during the school holiday. No matter what i do, i can never please everyone. Some people see me only "Du Lan" already ( someone in hall ). Some people don't like the way i speak, don't like my attitude, don't like the way i do things etc. Haix.. do you really think i wanna be this kind of person? Who don't wish to receive compliment and not complains? Who don't wish to feel loved than to feel "bo chap" by people u love? Thinking again, there is no big deal also.. People are not please is not my business, cos i don't really bo chap people also. Fair.

Hmm.. i believe school has started for my friends! All the best to my friends!! We're always learning in this life journey.. and i hope everything will be fine again.. :)
