17th Mar 08
Life seems the same as you watch your clock tick away. You are so used to 24 hours a day, that you forget that 30 X 24hours is already a month. Without paying much attention, it is almost end of March 2008. I have been in my current company for 1 full year.
Did not feel any special, as I am more concerned about my future plans. Now, working seems like a non-stopping life. Coz I am not studying, not working elsewhere, I simply feel that I had nothing to look forward to each year.
Plans for future were very definate. Straightforward... The more you try to twist and turn, the more money you have to throw in.
Looking at some of my friends blogs, some of them are still studying, working extremely hard for (of course) a better future then me. Still 'gel' closely with secondary or poly-mates. While people like me, in the cruel working world. Sad to say, you are slightly 'lonelier' then them. 9 - 6pm you work, rush home for dinner, watch tv, off you got struck in your bedroom waithing for light-off. Every week, you are hoping for the weekend to come. Every month, you are hoping that the holiday is coming sooner then you expect.
Well, last weekend, for once, I felt, it is just another day. To me, there is also nothing much to look forward to. Just that you see more people along the streets, your Straits Times got thicker, cinema tickets got damn sky-high price. Everything else is still the same.
For this moment, I was thinking of what lessons or classes that might interest me and will inject some thing to look forward to, each and every week.
Currently I found myself 2 goals to look forward to. 1: IPPT on 18 Mar 08 *Zzz.... Oh come'mon..
2: Sheares Bridge Run!! Gotta train myself to last through and enjoy that whole 21km + crossing over Sheares bridge early in the morning!!
What about you? A quarter of 2008 had passed, you decided on anything?

As referred to the title, just to check anyone catch this drama everynight?
Through my mum, I was told that 70% of the outdoor scenes were shot at Circuit Road Market and Hawker Centre which is only 200m away from my house! This arouse me to peek on the first espisode of it.
After watching, I felt it is quite a good drama for mid and high class SGporean. Let they understand that these kind of people actually exists. If you are living in 4-Room flat, without any relatives living in 1 or 2-Room flats, I advise you to watch it for a few espisodes. This drama is very much true, really bring out the low earners of SG. And it is very comical!! The way they filmed some 'fight' scene of Chen Li Ping and that jailed before fella were very funny!!!
Added to that, some high earners of SG popped out during certain parts of the drama to show us how some 'high-class' fellas treat or see those poorer and lower earner. In this drama also bring us into how those people who claim they are 'very very poor', try all sorts of ways to earn fast cash. You may think this can only appear in TCS drama, well, I believe such people do exist.
After working in my current job, I come across many this type of people (as 40% of my site is rental block). Sometime I just wonder whether those residents who came to approach me, are they one of those actor or actress in the drama? Or are they truely poor and unable to work? I think this is negative side of this drama. This makes me think twice about show my fullest support to them. I think I still need some more time to determine how true are they.
But recently as I watched more of Patricia Mok couple and MC King's mum, I got real pissed. Blood boiled..... Why got sure people alive out there... One tried all sorts of ways to cheat other kindness for money, another save so much as if she got tons of tomorrow to spend the money. Buay ta han... I give up... Other catching some glimps of Fiona Xie and final show of the late MC King, I have no other interest in this drama. But still if you guys have not develop bad feelings for this drama, please support it. Because it is another good try out by the TCS drama team!

How long have I been waiting for this?
3 Mar 08
On 29th Feb 08, 4th driving test at 9.15am.
Did my usual practice in circuit on 8am. Went for the test at 9.15am. Finish my circuit deducting 4pts for 'Failure to look blind spots'. Drove out towards Route 1 (I'm very familiar with this one. Confidence++!) But I drove out less than 200m from Driving Centre, I was told to turn left into minor road. This is where I faced a road block. After given the 'GO' signal, I..... ARH!!!....
crawl off.... *duhz...
Then I hit main road, turn left then right, then back to Driving Centre. Less than 0.8km, I drove. Lucky, isn't it? Heading to the office behind the Tester was a real stress. Thinking back, seems like I did not commit much grave mistakes like the past. Mind was filled with joyful thoughts. But inside the office, I was screwed by Tester like a primary school boy. With the desk so close to the door (outside the office was actually the PDL, Licence Registration etc Counter.) that more than 10 people overheard what he f--- at me.
"You fail to check your blind spots in circuit."
That's very normal..
"You are crawling on the road!!"
Safety ma.
"Your feets are not reacting fast enough to move off!"
I need to look left, right and rear before moving off ma.
"Just now got so many chances for you to turn right, why don't you do that? Your feet should be at the accelerator, preparing to move off!"
This indeed brought me from sky back to earth.
He repeated,"Why didn't you move off?"
"I didn't wanna engage myself in unnecessary risks" this is my reply.
"That is not risk! You are delaying everyone behind! If you are without that 'L' plate, people are going to blast their honk on you!"
Screwed.... I knew it.... Blood spurt out from him... Like the past, I'm waiting for him to draw his sword out, where I spilled my last drop of blood.
*Silence..... 5 seconds....
I can see all eyes outside the door were staring at me...
I believe I did it again...
"How many times have you tried?" For once he chilled and spoke his last question.
"This is the 4th time, Sir."
There is no need to shame me in front of so many people out there man.
I saw him ticked this, tick that, count, count, count.. Wrote the score and said,"Alright, I give another chance."
ANOTHER CHANCE? I'm done for it.
Surprisingly, he ticked the last box that says,"Pass."
Woooo... I said,"thanks..." Stood up, I looked at him once more.. "Thank you Sir." He answer me no more, give me a stare. So I walked out the office, first thing I did is to on my cellphone. Feel of huge relieve... Finally this has ended!!
Nothing else beats this. Even the waiting time from 10.30am - 1pm for my registration of licence failed to pull my moods down!
Things that may or may not contribute to my success on Leap Year:
- First time my instructor said,"Hope you don't see me after this test."
- First time I didn't bring my passport size photo. (I ended up taking a shot with my silly face. The licence errr... is for lifetime hor? Liaoz... KNN..)
- First time I drank Chicky essence before test.
- First time I drank talisman before test.
- First time I didn't went to the loo before test.
- First time I take test in the morning.
- First time I put a steel nail inside my wallet.
- First time I walked out of the Driving Centre feeling real GOOD!!!
This is so far the best thing that ever happened to me in 2008! Even 'Song-er' than strike First Prize of 4D!!
Well's....
Back to square....
I have no car......

CJ 7
26 Feb 08
Have you watched it? Well, I did! Caught it with Jazs on 23 Feb, 12 midnight at Leisure Park cinema.
This is our first time there. Small theater, simply cannot feel any bit of chill-ness in that cinema. But sound system is acceptable. When buying the tickets, I hardly see anyone else other then me, buying tickets. I (keep my fingers cross) that this cinema is gonna stay for long. One thing we chose to watch there, coz it is really near Jazs' house!
Well, moving back to the movie........
长江7号 aka CJ 7. I thought it is beautifully done up by Stephen Chow. We both felt that this is really a break-through for him. Very different from from his previous works. E.g. KungFu Hustle, ShaoLin Soccer.
Whole movie I can only find Stephen Chow and that fatty boss (who also starred in above mentioned films). The rest of the casts, I got no idea where they come from.
The lame P.E. teacher who pull his pants so high that it almost cover his nipples,
The Clean-freak hongkee teacher who really make me wanna f*** (coz the way he treats that poor boy,
*Wooo.. the Beautiful teacher who did not teach a single lesson in the show. *LoL!!

*Wooo.. the Beautiful teacher who did not teach a single lesson in the show. *LoL!!
That hugh female classmate who have a voice of a cutie primary school girl. *Wahaha!!
Stephen's son (who actually is a girl in real person). Her/his reactions and acting are very impressive!! The way she hold her mouth, pointing to the cabinet and finally let out a sharp YELLLLLL!!!! The moment where he realize his Dad had died. She certainly handle those tough showing very well!! Imagine her age... Wow!!
Before watching this show, I have a few friends who told me that this show is below expectation, not that funny anymore. But after I caught this show, I reckon that. It is like a Ferrero Roche. Nice outlook. You unwrapped the golden wrapper, slowly bite off the nuts one by one. Lick the choco 'cover', when it is time, you 'hack' the crust into a creamy choco. Finally you are there, real big nut in there!
*Duhz... Do you understand what am I saying?
Err... Never mind then....
I feels this movie was done very 'internationally'. Jokes cracked were easily understand by audiences regardless of Euro, US or Chinese. Flow of story was cooked up smoothly. Props were done up so nice that you won't forget. E.g. Their 3 storeys house with a very small interior, the lovable CJ7!!...
Background of the movie was showing China, which I feel is a better way to showcast the movie to Ang mos... As ang mo watch more China films than HK ones *I guess!, added to that, China environment is much more easier for them to visualise the story. E.g. That silly farmer wearing the cap exactly like the UFO, saying that he saw flying saucer!! (you got what I mean?)
Another thing that contribute to why I think it is an International flick is this song!!! (Why don't he input a Chinese song?)
It is called 'Sunny' by singer name, "Boney M". Oldies song liao.
Very groovey song!!! Love that!! *Currently my ringtone!! WaHaha!! Like it when the boy dances with cutie CJ7, hitting the faulty radio 1/2way!
Emotion hit skyhigh when Stephen Chow died. From the day, they quarrelled about getting 60+ marks than Stephen will mind his own business, to Stephen Chow's death which was made that no one else could save him at that point of time. After he fall to his death, his son got 65 marks for test, but come to realize the fateful accident. The struggle in his heart when on his bed, crying,"Daddy will be back when I wake up tomorrow morning." His acting is so convincing that I nearly drop my tears. *woo...
I feel that only silly thing of the ending is that, that father and son still have not realise that who save Stephen Chow from death. Funny isn't it?
Anyway this movie is sure to very much worth the $9.50 I spent per ticket. And I certainly wanna watch it for a second time!!
Have you watch it??

Pls start creating something new!!
23 Feb 08
I recently fall in love with this song. Simply, absolutely awesome!!
The smooth drum beats, soothing piano plus voice of the vocalist that blends in so well! When starting listen to this song, I must admit that they do sounds like an Ireland band 'Keane'. But I just love this song now!! Very cool tune!
But fxxx! Some joker went change the lyrics to mandarin, that's certainly spoil this song!! And it is playing on radio everyday!! *%$#!!!
So now my friends, just in case you thought that Joker had such luck of having a nice song in his first album compose by that don't know who. Now I shall reveal the truth! *Daylight....
It is actually an Ang Mo song! Personally, I strongly dislike songs being re-compose into Mandarin ones. Why can't we Chinese compose songs with our very own lyrics and tone??
I urged all PLEASE!!! Hear from the original singer!! Support the original!!! Boycott the faker!!
*ok... Chillz.... > <
Alright, shall we take a look at this MV by a band call, "MeLee", song title, "Built to Last".
Meaninful lyrics!
"I've looked for love in stranger places,
But never found someone like you.
Someone whose smile makes me feel I've been holding back,
And now there's nothing I can't do.
'Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
But most of all,
most of all,
it's built to last.
All of our friends saw from the start.
So why didn't we believe it too?
Whoa yeah, now look where we are.
You're in my heart now.
And there's no escaping it for you."
Saw it? Love it? If so, pass the message around!! Ban that Daxxxx!! *Opps! Too obvious!!
P.S. Any kind soul got the MP3 file for this song?? HaHa!! Enjoy your weekend!!

KungFu 'Duck'
21 Feb 08
Just caught 功XX篮. Too lame for me to accept. *Probably I'm lamer than that.
Too little scenes for me to laugh at. *I just can't explain why.
Too similar to movies like "ScXXry Movie" series.
Luckily I did not watch it at cinema. *Guess where!? HaHa!!
But got a bit 'feeling' for it during the last part. When Eric Tsang handed Jay over to Richard (real Daddy).
The basketball skills were... Fluke!
It is like watching an Uni student edition of the infamous "Shaolin Soccer". *I can accept Stephen Chow's style, but not this director's. Since the 2 young monks (Si Xiao Long & Hao Shao Wen) were used as his main casts, I got absolutely turn off. I feel it is a pity that 'Wu Men Ta' was not found in CJ7. *sigh...
If you have watch it, What do you think of this 'Kungfoooo Duck'??? *I don't think you share the same feeling as me.
