A fantastic SUNNY week !!!

here I am at home ... juz beside the window
... enjoying the warm sunny day

the weather has been quite gud at least
for the past 2 days

waking up on a warm, sunny day
can be rejuveinating !!!

I'm hardly on msn these days ... so Jayce
asked me wat I had been doing ... he's
nt the first one to echo tis sentiment!!

now I don go out tt often ... nt for tis 2
wks at least ... spent my days giving
tuition over the weekend n on Monday,
preparing tuition stuff, swimming n
enjoying the afternoon sun ...N of cuz
revamping my website

Google n msn has surprisingly improved
my website ranking ... tt a gud ting

but my website is still weak in content
n there plenty I need to do

TIME is alwae the prob becuz I DONNO
how much time I have b4 I started work

but at least tis week my arsenal blog is
out ... won't include the link here though
... don tink there's a lot of ARSENAL fans here

at least ... my dear frenzs u all won't have
to tolerate reading all those Arsenal stuff
... tings U DON REALLi care abt ... more so
understand

Tuesday was with Tze Chien @ the movie
... we wanted to watch Charlie & the chocolate
factory

have planned to meet last week ... but we kept
postponing till Tuesday

I DON QUITE agree with other pple tt the movie suxs

it was GUD all rite ... I wldn't say FANTASTIC

there r oni a few shows tt I ranked as FANTASTIC...
wat I cld recall immediately r 'Talk to Her', 'Chungking Express' n
'Old Boy'

but still I recommend it, it did brought back memories
of childhood, u noe sitting in the hall during reading
sessions n reading ur story BOOK

was at the pool last week ... n there was tis guy
who told me lewd stuff ... den he tried to follow me
ard ... finally shook him off at the toilet ... he realli
freaked me up ... n tis nt the FIRST time tis type
of rubbish happened ... n it happened at the same
swimming complex ...

it's V V dumb ... to actualli travel somewhere further
juz to swim ... the thought of everything made
me puke ... super damn disgusting

but tis won't kept me frm the pool ... NT now when
I'm in a PERFECT holiday mood

tis morning I finally sent the parcel out to my
frenz overseas ... it has taken one week for me
to get the stuff n sent it out

seemed a pretty long time ... so I'm realli relieved
tt I get it done ... becuz I DON wan to be
an empty vessel

I hate gg to the POST n filling out all the
forms for delivery ... I don tink they
need so much INFO

gonna meet some of my buddies tmr ... missed
the outing last week ... so I cldn't give tmr a
MISS ... if nt I will soon b an outkast

as for vincent ... i haven't forgotten abt the
fishing trip ... but I juz found my rod tdy
... so don tink we cld finish tis Sat ... v sorry!!

how much difference can 9 yrs make?

Sat was my lower Sec class' gathering ... so
I was looking forward to tt

it was a mini gathering ... I reckoned there were slightly
more than 10 of us

still it was nice seeing some of my classmates,
a few of them I haven seem for a long time

some starred at me, with tt BIG qn mark
on their face... den I shouted my name
... n they were still a bit doubtful ... they still
had images of me with my big sqaurish
glasses ... haha

I haven seemed wilson, pingting n meifeng
for a while ... the rest I do bump into them
in university or some other occasion

still it was nice to sit down n talk abt the gud
old days ... our class was the MOST happening
class amg the lower SEC ... BEZ in sports,
gd in studies n with lotsa of cute guys n gals

9 yrs juz passed by v v QUICKLY

I liked sec sch life ... I enjoyed uni life ... but
I DON quite like JC

COCA no longer has buffet for their steamboat,
so we ended up ordering the a-la-carte ... n eating
less ... somehow I felt the standard has dropped

anyway ... my apetite has realli dropped nowadays
... mabbe I'm sick of food ... so I do more sports
to improve my apetite

now I realised I will NEVER grow fat ... becuz FOOD
& me hardly goes hand in hand

as a child ... I used to enjoy eating in restaurant, the suckling
pig, cold-dish n all those Chinese delicacies

anyway ... after the dinner ... we watched Seven swords ...
by the time I reached home it was like 3:10 am n I was
worried I will be dead tired the nxt day ... but I managed
to survive the 3 tuition sessions

on Friday, I was at "Make A Wish" exhibition at the new
city National Library ... Eddie asked me to support him
at the fair ... a veri meaningful proj ... the lady asked me
whether I wld b keen to join them

the new National Library is a WHOPPING 14 storeys ...
it looked posh ... n the toilets r quite cool ... drop by when u r free !!!

on Monday it was cousin Fam's bdae... so we went
Suntec for Jap buffet ... nephew Nautilus wasn't bz eating food

he was bz "wiping"table n shouting occasionally ...
but he do like softdrink ... :-) ... we ate for wat
seemed for a long time ... plenty to eat ... but the
meat was v filling

went to collect my grad fotos after tt ... all the
developing cost me sth like $40 ... but the effects
were pretty gud

haven been out for the rest of the week ...well, the
benefits staying at home is that I can save $$$,
apply for overseas uni, revamp my website

in fact, there plenty of tings to do ... I wanted to
finish wat I intended to do b4 I started work

Photoshop is v powerful ... the more I learn the
more I'm impressed ... n now I cld most
probably finish at least 75% of the manual

msn.com has improved its ranking of
koreanmovie.org, my webpage, though
I haven been updating much ... hope tis
will give me the impetus to start
revamping my site soon

................................

found myself reaching back to my shelf
n reading of my fav novel - 'Moonlight
on the Avenue of Faith' by Gina Nahai

A bit magical, historical n melodramatic
... all beautiful combined together ...
tt the beauty of the novel

I don re-read the whole book

I read pg like pg starting frm the back
on the way to tuition

here r excerpt frm the book:

' There was a time when I was young - your age, perhaps a bit older.
Alexander the Cat died in my dress, and I left her house and the ghetto.
On the Avenue of Faith, in that house forever linked in my memory with magic,
I met a man who loved me, who gave me the child I had wanted.
At that time, in that house, I came to believe in the possibility of miracles.'

'So I told her, in as calm a voice as I could manage, with words I forced out till
my stomach begin to bleed, I told her that I
could not go with her because I did not - could not - afford
to find out if Roxanna was alive. Because I had lost Roxanna a thousand
times a day for twelve years and could not bear either to lose or find
her again'

August is the mth of EPL ...

after a hiatus of a couple of mths ... the
EPL is back

for non-soccer fans ... EPL = English
Premier League ... sorrie nt to insult
ur intelligent or sth to tt extent =)

EPL and in particular Arsenal is one
of my biggest obsession

every morning I will wake up ...
get online and check up news on Arsenal

it's a habit, an obsession ... without
doing it ... the morning felt odd n incomplete

don ever commit the mistake of asking
me who I tink is the bez team in the world
n don BLINK when I answer u

..........................

rite now ... it's pretty coool ... without soccer... I have
other tings to keep me occupied

got to find another life ... life is nt juz abt one obsession

have juz been bz with job application, learning photoshop,
mtg frenzs, giving tuition

on Wed I was at TLL for their career fair... though the
bldg location was pretty ulu ... I was amazed by
most of the tings I saw

the organisation was good, n the staff, the profs were all
great ... they were friendly n nt quite aloof

TLL has v gud facilities for research ... I'm quite impressed
n even more impressed by the attitude of the
professor I talked to

one prof was so excited n enthusiastic abt working at TLL ...
so much so tt at one pt I felt I din have chance to ask my
qn ... when I finally asked my qn, the frankness of his reply surprised
me

I knew roughly wat I shd do now ... so it was a fruitful day
at TLL

as a child ... I dreamt of doing research tt cld benefit
mankind ... I was hell bent on researching in AIDs
for a long time

................

meetup w Dick on Tuesday ... juz to treat him for his
belated bdae dinner ... v sorrie tt I was a day in
wishing him bdae juz becuz all the dates I wrote
down in my organiser was one day late

it has been a while since we met up for dinner ... anyway
it was a cool evening at Kovan mall

he brought me to a shop tt taught magician skills ... wow!!!
they cld bend the spoon without efforts n do lotsa other
tricks ... I was dumbfounded

but the course package was quite ex ... until I got a job
... cldn't quite possibly go back toe shop again

spent abt $6 at a nearby arcade ... the game was cheap
... oni one token per game

juz before tt ... bumped into JC buddy, Gabriel ... he
definitely sounded more confident, mature n
cheerfully optimistic ... so I was quite happy
to see him in a cheerful mood

den he popped me tis qn : "how's ur love life?"

well, it has been a frequent ... mum, frenzs, relatives,
even my previous tuition employers asked me
tis qn

tink it an age ting ... but the bez ting I cld say is when
the time is ripe ... it WiLL HaPPen

...................

On thursday ... SY & BH were at my hse to watch some
korean movies ... though I wld highly recommend
'Bungee Jumping of their own', we ended up watching
'Sympathy for Mr Vengeance'

din quite have the momentum to revamp my korean
webpage so I hope I cld start doing so nxt wk

we went to the gym after tt ... it was realli a long, long
time since we last went there

juz last week ... vincent asked me to go for triathalon ...
v tempted to ... but the swimming portion realli
turned me off

mabbe if the triathalon is a relay event ... I wld happily
do the running portion ... although my knee can't realli
quite make it nowadays ... i still luv running altogether

after gym ... it was bowling ... I'm still quite poor at
bowling ... nvr quite able to reach the 100 mark ...
guess both my technique n concentration r nt quite there

but pals SY & BH have given me some secret tips =)
... I MIGHT improve frm there

.................................

... as an individual ... I want to b gud in everything ...
with expectations ... there alwae disappointments ...
but without disappointments there won't b
any hunger for success ... tt is wat push me on
... actually the ever optimistic me has self-doubting
moments ... like wat pple say :"life is nt tt simple,
nt tt ez"

but it DOESN't necessary has to b a STRUGGLE

it has been a struggle trying to find someone
researching in skin-related disease ... NSC
has rejected my application ... so I have to
look elsewhere

will I consider other fields?

it will b v difficult ... becuz I'm nt convinced
tt I cldn't find one

it was oni when I got serious acne ... tt I
can finally emphatised y pple was so
troubled over acne ... years of getting
rid of acne convinced me tt my future
lies in dermatology nt virology

as a child I wanted to research in AIDs ..
true enuff, at age 25 ... there still no
cure for the virus ... but we r getting
closed ... tt is y it will b a wrong time
to research in this area

A terribly wrong time !!!

................................

Cliff called me immediately after my
tuition ... Perfect timing to call

wanna jio me to watch Charity Shield
on Sunday nite

Ouch ... I was always fated to miss
the Charity Shield

... I hate to miss Arsenal match ... Hate to see the team lose ...
when I support a team ...
I believe in the team's ability thru n thru ...

wanna start an Arsenal blog but coming
up with the design concepts of the pg is a bit tough for me

Cliff is a Man Utd fan ... but he is a sporty fan
... so he won't slag me ... n I too respond in a
positive manner in fact ... I'm great pal with him
... as well as Jayce, my SEP buddy, oso a Man Utd
fan ... funny ting life

..........................

on Sat ... was with Mum @ the temple ... mum
wanna get a lot for me rgding my job application

don quite rem wat we did after ... tink we did
some shopping ... watched the fireworks ... have dinner

Sat was Jayce's bdae ... so I joined him
@ Liquid Kitchen later n tt was after I spent some
time at Kino, Bugis ... trying to find some inspiration

And I DID !!!

I read up more on economics, investments ... I'm
interested in these areas ... I'm
motivated to make sure tt 20 yrs down the rd ... I'm
financially secure

and I WON'T LOSE the fortune I built up

Jayce picked me up @ PS ... looked v cheerful ...,
he has been a tremendous frenz but we haven meet up for quite a while ...

@ Liquid Kitchen they still reminded me abt the time I
was realli drunk during New Year Day ... it all sounds
v farny ... quite unbelievable ... but I don tink they r so
free to fabricate the story

..........................

Sunday was ONI abt tuition ... the kids made fun of the fact tt I
wore PINK ... their comments highlighted
their innocence, their playfulness =)

don tink I will b taking class tuition nxt yr ... so it's the
end of four yrs at the centre ... I guess it a gud time to
move on n get on with my life
