first blog 2011
there was one instance , where one of my colleague overheard my conversation with the Town council regarding the the water valve outside my house ( which I could not turn off the valve , in so that I could not change the tap inside my house), he offered some suggestion and even helped to buy a connector that can do the job. Although the connector was a little too big to be of any help, but I must say that I do appreciate his help very much.
Work wise, still bearable. I have yet to start finding job. Would I start finding? I just have to see the possibility after new year
maple wise, without any 2X, I typically only train 30min a day ( gaining only 2% a day). With this pace, I might end up only to be able to do one level in 50 days? Really looking for the next 2x coming :)
New year is coming. I am trying come out with some plans to Bai nian, but the response is fairly poor.
I guess as long I try my best, that's nothing to be sad of. After all, I have prepared Plan “A”, Plan “B” etc. if nothing works, I should find time to play Maple at home. GOD bless all the time
final part, valentines coming again , just hope I do have a date this time ( if not next time also can)
cheers

回顧2010年
人是變老了,但是否變的比較成熟了呢?
工作還是一樣,或許這份工作有它的好處。拿假容易吧,年底又拿了六天假,去我想要去的地方。告訴自已,樂觀還是好的。
maple 方面,從年頭到現在,提升了16個等級。或許在別人的眼里,可能很慢,但對自已來講,已經很不錯了。最近,guild master "APPLE" 回來了,GUILD 有了比較多的活動,也是好事吧
朋友方面,得罪過的人,關係還是沒變好。道德經有曰,「和大怨,必有餘怨。」得罪過的人,就算道歉了,怨氣也不這麼容易就消去的。所以,告訴自已,做人不可以做錯東西。」得罪過的人,不會再回來了,現有的朋友要珍惜 :)
感情方面,一樣沒變,就是沒有。把今年的願望放到明年,緣份"自然"就會有。
就慢慢等吧

december update ( 2010)
I went to company Dinner and dance on the same nite. Unfortunately , I was fairly a bit sick ( with some fever) thus didn’t really enjoy myself.

during one of the games, i was being selected to be the one on each table to do some "stunts" (so call). the last part was to get 3 kisses from a gal on the same table. there were only a lady ( francis's wife )and she found it inappropriate to kiss me, so she use her lipstck to draw 3 marks on my face. unfortunatly, this can't deceive the clever organiser ( in which i was being knocked out). althought i didn;t win any prize but i get some good experience :)

i also didn;t win any lucky draw with my number 8041. in fact none of the colleague from my dept won anything also. but it's ok , hope next year got better luck
Maple wise, I managed to do to level 145 after some hard work. But because I didn’t buy any lucky charm in advance , and dying at least 3-4 times losing around 40% in the process, I guess I cant do to lvl 146 by this weekend. But things still look fine. At least I I tried doing Big foot and Tengku (BOSS mob)

lastly, i would be taking a few days leave to malaysia .. enjoyment time :)
GOD bless

Holiday season
this month of DEC is a holiday period, which i took total 6 days of leave. hope i could enjoy a bit for a while. i will try to do another 3 lvl of maple to 147 before the school holiday ends, or else it would be much harder to do it next year
my teeth wasn't very good , so i would have to visit the dentist two times this month, it;'s money again.. :(
stay happy
GOD bless

NOV UPDATE
After taking around 70mins of MRT ride, I reached pasir Ris. It has been a long time since I have taken such a long MRT ride (25 stations). Lijing and I took a shuttle bus to the chalet at M4
After lunch, a few of the guys (only 4 to be exact) decide to go swimming at wet wet wild. Lijing (as the only gal) remain at the chalet. Just feel a bit paisei, to leave her alone ‘looking after’ the chalet. Zhixian should have got a few more ladies to accompany her as well.
The swim took around 2.5 hours. there were one event that we took a so call “raft” to slip down from around 4storey , there are photos taken but we didn’t buy them as they were relatively expensive( mentioned by tianwei )After the swim, we went back to the chalet .Buffet started at around 1800 hours. Zhixian’s relatives arrive around this time. Sad to say that, I did not see any QSN arriving. Since I had night activities, I had no choice but to leave at 1920 hours( before the cake was being cut).
The day was still fine except attendance by QSN was relatively few, I was very tired after the swim ( over worked) next time shouldn’t swim so much.
Overall I had a fairly busy month. Hope for the coming months( November and December ) I should find time to play my maple ( to level to 146 ) from the present 142
God bless
Cheers

two Recent outing
On 25th July, I went on the company trip to Desaru. Things were not as bad as I thought, as Goh was sitting with me on the bus, Desmond talked to me during times here and there, just a hiccup is , I left my hand phone in my office, and not able to take photo during the trip, really blur of me

Second one is to Ziyu BBQ on 31th Jul; I drive there after a class at night. Rather disappointed that, several people either have left or are leaving. Deming restarted the fire for us to start the last of the BBQ. Guo long managed to take a group photo of us.
Later, I drove Guo long and company back home at CCK. Which after I went back to the BBQ site. Within 15 minutes, all of them calling a day, I drove most of them home. I was “awarded” with some fried rice for my effort.
Looking forward, I had several friends having birthday in the month of August which I hope to wish them happy birthday
Waimun birthday – 3rd august , he busy with ippt this week, so hope I could see him next week or any time this month. Hope he can do well for his ippt.
Huimin Birthday -7th, Tian Wei managed to get her a gift, so all I can do is cost sharing. I won’t see her any time soon, so a wishing of happy birthday, wishing her cheerful and pretty always
Ziyu birthday – didn’t managed to say or sing happy birthday to her during the BBQ, so should just drop a note, wishing her all the best in her studies
Zhi Hui birthday 13th, she’s busy with her “O” level, so hope she can do all the best for her exam.
Shi jie birthday coming on the second half of August, also wish her all the best.
And finally nation’s birthday, wish Singapore luck and prosperity (more water but fewer floods)
My birthday coming in September, I wonder if I could organize BBQ also? Maybe no one turn up? Hahaha

Lifes a Dilemma
but then, my colleague's relationship weren;t so good, and there were times stresses buiilt up over work, and at other times, we didn't talk at all. i wonder who would ever talk to me during the trip. i couldn;t find any partner to go along either. But then, i told myself. there are times i need to step out to try new things, make new friends , maybe.
maybe the only motive i have is to go there, take some photo and post at FB.. just stay happy would be good enough :)
just a though in mind
i have not been to sentosa for a very long time. I wonder when someone can "chio" me there
maybe have to wait Bery long .. sad :(

I was fuming when I saw Suarez (Uruguay striker) making a “volleyball” block to a certain goal by Ghana. It resulted in a red card and a penalty kick (which Gyan failed to convert).
Although this is really unethical works from a professional player, but we must admit that from the point of tactics, this is a good move. It’s kind of (show hand) gamble by Suarez. At the point, if he does nothing, Uruguay would have booked the next available flight home. But when he does it (handed the ball), there are still some chances that the penalty does not goes in (which indeed it is true).
Now the question, is Suarez a villain or hero?
Love thee, because Suarez has performed outstandingly during the group match and the round of 16 producing 3 goals for his country. Most importantly, he ‘sacrificed’ himself for the sake of his country. Whether will he play in the semis is no longer relevant, Uruguay has created history since 40 years ago. On the other hand, Ghana will have to wait for 4 more years for such chance to come.
Hate thee; soccer would no longer be professional or ’beautiful’. Players will go all the way out to flout the rules just for the sake of winning. Winners would no longer be decided by who is stronger, but by who is more cunning. Comparing the hands of GOD (Hands of the devil, I would say) by Maradona in 1986 or Thierry Henry’s handball that got France thru in the world cup 2010, is Suarez a ‘better’ football player or volleyball player?
But then this is just soccer, and only goals counts. It’s a game where only results are important. How to get there (or the process) is not in the priority. If Gyan had succeeded in the penalty kick, Suarez may still continue to be the villain. But then in a twist of stories, the ‘villain’ is being transformed to ‘hero’ in just less than a minute. There is a Chinese saying, 勝者為王,敗者為寇. As long as you win, you are the king.
But then this is soccer, I guess. Unless rules changes in the future, unprofessional play such as diving, time wasting and many more will still prevail for a very long time to come. Whether you love thee or hate thee (soccer), we have to accept the fact; soccer is never ‘clean’.

outing
we took the Malaysia express bus ( costing us 2.40SGD each ) and reached JB at around 1130am. We spent a little extra time in JB custom as Ziyu lead us to the wrong exit.
we spent half an hour walking around city plaza, and I managed to get a gift for RenHui and Lijing got a gift for Huizhi. Soon we are able to meet up with one of the two host (Yan Ru) which we spent the next two hours preparing birthday card to Yoong jie (YJ). I drawn a pig on the card (which doesn’t look like one ), at least Yan Ru draw a pig much better looking .We also bought a cake for yoonjie.

Around 215 pm, we managed to meet up with yoongjie ( after her work). We initially plan to walk to a nearby park, but the weather is super warm. So we decided to take two cabs there( 4 person in a cab)
We reached the sultan’s Garden in a 10 minutes drive, where we ‘climb’ up the hill and ‘cutting’ though a few grass patches before reaching our destination at the Pavilion.
Soon after we reached, a big group of church people also turn up for their gathering. We decided to give up half of the pavilion to them since that we have only 8 people.
We first took out the cake to sing birthday song to two birthday guy and girl.

Later, we played a game called 終級密碼 and there are “punishments for ‘losers”. Some interesting punishments include ziyu proposing to the tree, and tian Wei trying to express some words using his backside. The punishment I got is to run around the pavilion one time (a simple one I thought)

In the evening, as the sun shine into the pavilion, we shifted to a nearby grass (which is shaded) to eat the rice (tian Wei bought) and roti prata.

Around 630 pm, we finally departed. We took time to walk slowly back to city plaza and we took photo whenever there is an opportunity. We finally parted at 0730 with the host and left for home.

Looking backwards, the visit is relatively simple but enriching. The only down thing is people attending is not so much, I didn’t managed to see a few of the Malaysia QSN and particularly 義昇and Co. just hope I could see them in the next outing. Saying this, the next outing may not come anytime soon as we predict the students would be busy with their exams.
Finally it’s the birthday of Yoongjie and Tianwei today at 30 Jun 10. I can’t meet up with tianwei to celebrate his birthday due to other activities. But hope them all the best.
Wish
Yoongjie stay pretty and
Tianwei stay handsome always
(or as long as possible). GOD Bless!!

We started the journey around 0915am. The weather was not as warm as expected, the walk was pretty pleasant. There were so much animals to see, thus we can only spent a few minutes for each animal. Overall, we spent the most time (45mins) at tropical crop plantation / and orchid garden seeing different kinds of plants and fruits.


Around mid day, we reached Kidz world (wet play) where I see many kids playing there. The facilities were very good; I thought I would play if I am a kid myself or if I would bring some kids there also. i had spare some thing to visit the nearby kampong house.



The most interesting show I seen for the day is the show “rainforest fights back”. The only downside for me is that we reach the venue only at 1400 hours where as the show started at 1330 hours. I could only see half the show, but it’s still nice.

After the show, as my grandpa is relatively tired. We cut short the trip and went back at 1500 hours.

For the whole journey, we didn’t eat anything. But I managed to buy a bottle of coke (using the 1 dollar discount coupon). I also did visit the souvenir shop, but couldn’t buy anything as they are quite expensive. Overall I guess the visit is fruitful and the money spent worthwhile.
From 31 may onwards, I decided to take company bus to work. For conservative calculations, I should be able to save 3.50 dollars per day on petrol, that’s would built up to a whopping 900 dollars worth of savings annually. GOD bless

Things unpredictable
The screen (3.0”) is bigger than my HTC phone (2.8”). On the positive side, I still managed to surf the net / msn and face book (not face book games). The screen is too small for a good internet surfing, I think a pc would be much better. On the downside, I couldn’t choose the type of ring tone I want. I think I would miss the cartoon (doreamon) ringtone for a while. But then since I can’t find a good ringtone, I should just settle for a simple ringing tone.
From this, I learnt a lesson. Happiness does not come from materialistic gain, but from contentment. My pc broke down recently so I had some chance to pick up some time to read, so I think it is a blessing in a disguise. My sis managed to get me a new CPU with her company at 700 dollars, I should be getting it latest month end. Notebook wise, I would push to next year to see if I would buy an I-pad? Things are unpredictable, so I should just fold my arms, wait and see.

Without my PC, I can’t surf to face book and play maple. Last Saturday, I went to national library to use the terminal, and although I can go online to face book, but I couldn’t log on to any of the games as it has been blocked by the library system.
For the last two days, I spent relatively most of my time cleaning up the house instead of playing maple. I had also spare some time to read some books. It’s has been a relatively difficult time as I was so used to sit in front of my pc to pass time. But then after the two days, I realized that times are still bearable after all
Looking forward, it seems that I had to wait until next month to get a new pc as I have spent all my spare cash on my van insurance. The plan to do farming for Maple Sea fall off, I had less time to play on my face book game (Restaurant city, Farmville and FFS). Looking on the positive side, I guess with my pc down, I could reduce my dependency on computers and spent times on some other things. I hope to spend more time reading books (Tao de ching) and maybe some exercise.

Finally, I just hope I can save enough to buy a CPU start of next month; my new mobile phone would have to wait until august. GOD Bless

上一個禮拜六(五月一號), 我和我的家人( 我的母親和外公)到金沙綜合娛樂城去走了一下。自已駕車到了那里。從外面看起來,是建得還不錯。但到了里面,才發現一部份還未建好。
從底層走到上面,經過一些店面,有一半是還未開張的。另外一半大多數是賣名牌貨,大概是給有錢的外國人來買的吧。除了賭城以外,好象也沒有什麼其他的可以看。或許應該 多儿個月才來
我們在賭城外待了一下子就走了。心里想,賭博真的那麼好?賭一定輸,時間一定輸掉。進賭城,還沒賭,先輸一百元。勝算這麼少,然而卻這麼多人要來,真的很難猜這些人的意。或許對我而言,免費,我大概也不會進去。
走了一個多小時,在娛樂城里面,沒什麼可以看的,外面就是太熱了,便打算回家。這時才發現,停車費高達十元這麼多。因為在停車場外面沒有寫清楚,有感覺被「騙」而大出血,以後如果可以,搭公共交通比較好。
工作還可以吧,從一位同事當中,學到了一個道理。工作最重要的是「人」,最不重要的是「工」。為了把工作完成,而得罪周圍的同事,就算把東西做得很好,也沒有用。但如果把「人事」搞好。雖然東西做不好,或許也會有同事會幫。「工」是作完就完了,但「同事」還會待好一段時間。學會這層道理,到那里作工都會開心。不然天天換工作,也不會開心的。
在五月份,我把車的保險還了。這個月要超級省錢,還好,自已的母親有幫一點。希望到六月會好一點,可以換一個手機。

march Blog
In this month, nothing special really happens, so I just drop a line to say thanks GOD , as no bad news equals to GOOD news.
Today is weixin Jie Jie birthday, I haven’t seen her a long long time. Just hope she had a very nice day today.
Nex month wise, I am unable to go my to Malacca due to a clash in activities, just hope I can find time to go back this year. But before that, I should change my passport.

2nd part to bai nian 2010
I didn’t catch up with any of my father’s relative as they claim to be busy when I try to schedule a time to visit them. But it’s ok , I can still visit them next year.
On Sunday, I had the second group of people visiting my house( Tian wei and Zhi xian ). It was very nice of them to take MRT from very far central or woodlands to Jurong. they sat for 45 minutes or so and help to eat the junk of tibits I bought for new year. The downside is that I forgot to take a group photo with them, so unable to post. Later we went to li jing house(didn’t take any photo also). We didn’t managed to go cang hai house as I was unable to reach him in his mobile phone
Looking back at this 15 days, I think it’s nice overall. I do meet up with Alan, Siwei , Yuanfeng and waimun. I also visited yunfu at his house during the last Saturday. Just hope that more people would visit me next year.

new year 2010 (1)
Sunday (14 feb) new year first day
Other than a visit to one of my friends at the early hours of mid night, I spent most of the day alone at home. My mum went back to Malacca in the morning, so I spent whole of the day “shou tan”.
There was no visitor to my house today; I spent very little time playing maple. But since most of my guild member didn’t log on at all, I log out after 15 minutes of game playing alone; I spent other time looking at face book and some other thing.
Today is also Valentine’s Day, for the people I took fancy of, I hope they are doing well when I msg them greetings. For those who I do not have their contact, I sincerely wish that GOD is also looking after their welfare. I guess I have done all I can do for love in this festive season, so I should find no reason to be sad. I got YJ’s message greetings, I guess its good enough already.
Monday (15 Feb.)
As per initial plan, I was supposed to visit my friends at pasir Ris. But there is a mixed up of timing (10 am was mistakenly typed to 10pm). I canceled the visit as I can’t make it at 10pm. But the group of people came in the evening to relay the msg, so I guess I make a mistake by not calling to verify the timing. This is something I should improve next year
Fortunately, Deming was free to come out with me, and we visited 4 places (2 places with Lijing and Li Hui ). We spent our lunch at Ru da house, and visited meng jing house at woodlands for the last venue. This is the furthest venue to be visited this year. For next year, we should strive to visit a bit further
In the evening, the first group of 15 visitors came to my house. Since I wasn’t mentally prepared for such a large group, they have to sit on the floor. This is something I will have to improve next year.
Overall , today is the happiest of the 4 days. I sincerely hope they can visit me the next year also.
Tuesday (16 Feb.)
I went to my dad house in the morning, and as per usual he doesn’t even bother to celebrate Chinese New Year. There is nothing much I can do , except to pray for his well being. I spent most of the other times at FO tang bah.
Wedesday (17 Feb.)
I spent the whole day playing maple with 2x,and managed to clear a very difficult 2 levels( to level 132) . Since leveling is super difficult for 4th job warrior like myself. I guess I should stay away from maple for a fortnight so I could concentrate on other things
Other thoughts
I didn’t hear from my secondary school friends on any potential gathering at any of their house. Siwei went to Genting with his family, so I can’t meet up with him either.
Hopefully few days coming down the road, I will be able to see waimun, siwei , yuanfeng and alan. i will outline my new year resolution as soon as possible in my next blog.

難過的曰子
我猜想難過應該是被人罵到狗血淋頭,但又沒有辯白的機會。難過是做錯事,但沒機會道歉。難過寫在blog上面又被罵,不得以又拿下來。有苦難言或許才是真真的難過。
朋友,請了解我還是人,當我作錯東西時,請原諒我,我只是近來壓力非常的大。朋友,我只希望我做錯事情的時候,請及時提醒我,當我做對事時,請鼓勷我。當我孤單的時候,請找我聊天吧?
情人節要到了,或許每年到了這個時候,就會有季節性的難過。新年到了,想到要拜年也有一定的難過。不知几時才會拍拖,不知几時才會結婚。想到今年拜年又可以拿紅包了,心中有一股講不出的壓力。希望可以的話,今年就在家里,不要出門拜年。不出門,或許可以省錢吧。
難過的時候,我發覺自已比較容易振作,或許每 一次的難過,都是上天仁慈的安排吧。
一句名言,「不想過,也得過,不要過,也過得差不多了。」就是這樣。難過忍一下,忍不了的時候,和自已說,再忍一下,難過很快就會過去的。天下沒有下不完的兩,忍多一下,難過就過了。
新年要到了,新的衣服都還沒買。還好我姐姐幫自已買了兩件。鞋子也還沒買,看樣子,就不買了。穿安全鞋去拜年,大概也不會有人註意吧
我想初一,我會在家,沒有出門。初二,還沒有決定吧。上午時份,希望有人可以讓我去拜年。初三早上,會看我老爸,會忙一整天,大概也是好事。初四,如果沒人來和自已拜年,就在家打maple 吧,
總而言之,只要平平談談的過這個新年就很好了,GOD BLESS.

a sad weekend indeed
While most of us stay in the hall, he sits alone outside the hall drinking whisky (provided free by my uncle). I try to talk to him, but he always chases me away when I try get near him.
Around 1520 hours, I brought my mum home. At 1715 hours, my uncle calls to tell me that my father is drunk and need me to fetch him home. I have no option but to travel to ang mo kio again. I reached there around 1740 hours. My father had been sleeping on the floor. When he wakes up, he made a lot of din that embarrass my uncle and his family, in such, my uncle is very upset for this.
I try to bring him home, but he refused to take my van. There is nothing I can do except to see him sleep on a nearby grass patch for a few hours until 2045. I miss the night activities as I could not bear to leave my father alone. After he got sober, he insisted that he take MRT home. I can only see him to the MRT station which after I went home myself.
It’s a difficult situation like this; I guess I can only stand at my father side. Looking forward, my uncle has regretted inviting my dad there. It may means they might not invite my father again for any other celebration. I can only pray that my father can improve when times to come. GOD bless.
Life is a one way street, in such that I can only go forward but not backward. Friendship is like a piece of fragile ornament, once you broke it, there is no way to repair it. Maybe dumping them away is the only means I had, and maybe it looks like it’s a much easier route to take (and the sole route).
[To a person unknown] I never meant to irritate you or anybody I pass by, but then , if damage is being done, I guess a million apologies would be a lousier option compared to staying away. So I decide to keep quiet and stay away as far as possible. Just hope you understand and don’t get upset.
三十六計,走為上計。大概就是這個意思。Looking forward, I must not make the same mistake again. GOD Bless.
cheers
