A Night at Night Safari

Hi, everyone....haha, i think i have to start off with an apology again. I apologize to all my readers that i haven't been doing anything to my blog lately, hehe.

Last nite, i went to Night Safari with ah ming, alicia, and waihoong. We said to meet at 1830 at choa chu kang mrt, but well, as you all know, without your own transport, it's not easy to reach a destination on time. So, i was late like 15 minutes, but who knows, that couple even worse, and therefore, i got a chance to scold them for arriving late, haha.

We then had our dinner at this food court inside the shopping mall beside the mrt station (sorry that i don't know the name). Waihoong and i ordered some korean food. My dish is called kimchi fried rice and it tastes like shit but anyway, i finished almost 80% of the shit. Shit!

Then we took this 927 bus to the Night Safari and it was so crowded there, we couldn't even board the tram. so, we finally planned to save $8 each by just walking around the Night Safari walking path. (forgot to mention, thanks to alicia that we actually went in without paying a cent, so we save another $28 each, hehe) Ermm....nothing much about the animals, the most remarkable should be the fruit bat that was hanging upside down on a branch 2 feet away from me as well as an animal named "slow loris" that actually was moving on the tree branches in slow motion, haha, damn funny...Then we went on to a super long queue for the "Creature of the night" show, nothing much also. All in all, nothing much in this Night Safari, but since it's free-of-charge, so i don't mind going, hehe.

Then we parted on separate ways. I arrived at boonlay int at 0010, just missed the last 179 and 199 buses to get back to NTU. Then i saw a guy and a gal standing at the 199 queue. I approached the guy and asked if he's a student of NTU, he said he is, then i asked the gal, she isn't but she said she stayed nearby, so i offered both of them to share a cab back. What a genius i am!! haha. The best part began here, as we reach the gal destination, she asked if $2 is enough for her share, i said it's ok even if she doesn't pay. Upon hearing that, the gal was so surprised and double confirmed with me if i really not going to take the money, i said yes. Oh ya, i forgot to mention that the guy is staying in hall 12. Then, when we reached hall 12 bus stop, i just paid for the taxi fare, he looked at me,

i said, "i must be fair".
He then replied, "then if i pay you only fair".
I looked at him and said, "i must be fair to both, you and her, i didn't take hers, so i won't take yours".
He looked shocked and replied me, "are you sure?"
"yes".

As we got down from the taxi, i told him, "thank for your luck that u met me tonight" and i walked off. hehehe. Then later only i realized i missed something important to tell them, haha. I wanted to tell them this, "if u want to repay me, then you can offer the same thing to someone else in the future".

Actually, during my IA, i read a book "Manage to have fun". Everyone likes to be treated well. Try to imagine, if we are offered a ride i mentioned above, how will you feel? personally, i'll definitely feel surprised and weird, but happy. You might think that i'm a bored guy nothing else better to do, but i think it's a good way to spread the fun and happiness around. Hopefully, these 2 can spread the happiness by offering a ride to someone else in the future

Job Seeking

Hi friends,

sorry to have been abandoning this blog for quite some time due to "preparation" on my examinations. To those who know me well, u sure catch what's my joke is, haha.

Ya, I've finished my final last paper in my NTU life (hopefully no need to re-sit, haha) and now comes the time to secure a job. Last friday, i went to an interview and i talked to the section manager for almost 2 hours. Most of my friends said that i have high chance in getting the job because of the duration that the manager was willing to spend on me but i think otherwise, haha.

Actually, i'm not too into technical field and i've always been wanting to join more non technical field like management, admin, bla bla bla..... but well, i still have to support my life in Singapore and i think i don't have the luxury to choose based on my preference. I can wait but my stomach can't, haha. Tomorrow (after i wake up and have my breakfast), i decided to submit all other applications without the cover letter (this stupid cover letter has been bothering me and delaying my application) because i'm seriously lazy to write it although my wify told me i shouldn't be so lazy since it affects my career, but......i just too lazy and be realistic, i don't wish to delay anymore by my laziness, so it'd b better to apply without cover letter than not applying at all, haha.

Oh ya, beside all the examinations (actually only 3 papers this sem, hehe) and jod seeking, i actually still need to prepare my FYP (Final Year Project) power point slides and presenatation which will be my last responsibility as a student in NTU to present to my supervisor and moderator this coming Wednesday.

And once again, i'm sorry to have abandoned this new borned baby (my blog) for almost 1 month, hehe and i hope all my fans (if there's ever be one) will still continue giving me support!

Language Barrier

Some of you might think that most probably this jerry doesnt have the discipline to maintain this blog. Well, up to certain extent, it's true. However, it's not really like that. I'm currently facing some language barrier in posting the thing i wanted to talk about.

For those who doesnt really know me, I had my early education in Malay school and i had no formal education on Chinese. And, therefore, most of the people think that i couldnt read or write Chinese. Well, they are half right. The reason being so is because i really couldn't write but i could read Chinese characters. Oh ya, i could type Chinese too! haha

Ok, so? what's the issue now? On the 8th April (last Saturday), my laptop adaptor was damaged due to the power overflowing incidence on my level (whole level of my hostel). Later on, i borrowed a laptop from my friend because i needed a laptop to continue with my FYP (Final Year Project) report typing and the FYP itself. The current laptop that im using now doesnt support Chinese typing and thats why i couldnt type in chinese.

I'm not sure how many people agrees with me in this issue (but i think most chinese speaking background should) but i couldnt really express well in English and i always feel it's easier and more accurate to express in Chinese. Therefore, being unable to type Chinese, my intended contents to be blogged just got burried alive!! haha, until i got back my laptop, i might not able to blog effectively...hehe...but of cause, i'll still try even if it's in English ;p

"About Me"

Hi, if you did realize that in my "about me" portion, i didn't really write anything there because i'm not too sure how should i describe myself. Therefore, i'm thinking to seek assistance from all my friends to help me to describe myself.

In communication studies, researches show that one of the self-perception is from social mirror or something like a reflection from people around you. The acceptance level of these comments varies with the relationship of the two person.

Feel free to leave your comments, be it my strengths or my weaknesses, be it you are my close friend or just an acquaintance, all is welcomed. I'll think through all your comments and will draft my "about me" accordingly.

Don't Write Me Off

Artist: Hugh Grant

It’s never been easy for me
To find words to go along, with a melody
But this time there’s actually something, on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I’ve met you, my whole life has changed
It’s not just my furniture, you’ve rearranged
I was living in the past, but somehow you’ve brought me back
And I haven’t felt like this since before Frankie said relax

And while I know, based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet

For years I’ve been telling myself, the same old story
That I’m happy to live off my so called, former glories
But you’ve given me a reason, to take another chance
Now I need you, despite the fact, that you’ve killed all my plants

And though I know, I’ve already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet
Don’t write me off just yet


This song always plays in my mind without i, myself knowing it. hehehe
Nice song. Good lyrics.

I'm a blogger at last

Hi,

Finally, I've become a blogger myself. Although i'm not sure how committed i'll be in maintaining this blog but well, at least this is something that i wanted to do now.

About becoming a blogger, i guess "she" should be the happiest person to know this. You know who you are. Hehe.

Currently, i'm in the middle of the so-called "transition period" (defined by "her"). Everything doesn't seem to go on smoothly. Everything in this world doesn't seem alright.

I felt so weak and helpless. Loneliness devoured my heart, emptiness consumed my sleeps, sadness wolfed down my appetite. Tired, exhausted, confused, directionless, ......

Your eyes are perfectly alright, you are really seeing all these from me.
