Although i finished my exams a week ago, today most of my other course mates finished theirs. We spent the day playing poker and talking about our futures. I realised that employment and results arent exactly correlated, i had a friend who got a $55k starting pay job with toyota without any honors. Thats pretty darn good for starting pay, especially if u've failed subjects before.

We spent the afternoon talking about what we were going to do with our lives, and when we would get to meet up as a big happy group again. We decided that it would be possible every 10 years given that once each of us lead our own seperate lives it would be hard. Somehow i believe that every single one of them will be successful in the individual paths that they take. I've never met a bunch of people who absorb and thirst knowledge as much as they do, i should have met them earlier in my life when i was hanging.

Its amazing how some of them are expected to relieve their parents of the family businesses upon graduation, and not feel the expectations already pinned on their shoulders. Instead many of them have dreams that i swear cannot possibly fail if they continue doing what they do. Some people are just born with such drive and vigor. I've always wanted that but i still find myself idling around.

Graduation is in 2 1/2 weeks time, and there is a final gathering afew days before then. Stage 2 of our lives are in orientation and about to begin. I can only hope to be half as successful as the rest of you will become. See you in 10 years time.

hey guys!
you know what!
There is BOOST juice in Singapore! i love BOOST!
It is at Vivo City. was there with mj when i saw it. could not believe my eyes.
Boost just reminds me of aussie.

i keep losing money at mahjong.
all the five times at my cousin's place, i always lose like 20 plus bucks. (that is alot to someone who is unemployed)
now the itch to play mahjong is back. i need to work on my skills.

my last few days of freedom. sigh.

i currently have four gaping holes in between my teeth,
had them extracted because i'll be braced next friday.
braces with nice hot pink brackets, thats what im looking forward to.

or maybe i shall dress it up a bit for christmas and have hot pink (instead of red) and green? nah..green will look like i have chye sim stuck on my teeth so better not, be on the safe fashion side and so i shall stick to hot pink brackets.

sacrifices must be made in order to achieve straight wonderful teeth so... so long my four teeth!
i shall miss your company and your assistance in chewing solid food which i am currently unable to have any cuz i seriously cannot chew.
i tried a small teeny puny piece of my beloved spicy bak kwa and lo and behold, i really cannot chew with four teeth missing.

let me tell you how useless your front teeth actually are. they dont do anything really. they're just there.

oh i havent told you about the extractions and how cool the dentist's instruments are. they are so cool. they numb your gums with this green cream that looks just like zambak but smells like mint. then there's this anaesthesia that makes a loud "POP" sound which numbs your palate then the dentist injects anaesthesia into your gums and lets you wait for three minutes before using this cool tool to kinda pry the tooth out then using a plier he grabs your tooth and shakes it pretty violently to yank it out and viola! then they stitch you up real quick.

the procedure really isn't that bad, except when they're yanking out the tooth on the lower set of teeth then you feel your entire jaw shake along and then it feels sore for a short while. but when the anaesthesia wears off, it's not painful, just a lil sore, a bit like how it might feel if someone punched you but i wouldnt know, havent been punched and not wanting to be either. so you just gotta deal with walkin around with a gauze-like cotton stuck in between your teeth and paranoid about your drooling cuz you cant feel shit and youre still bleeding but other than the un-glam factor, it's not that bad.

hooray for dentists! and braces with pretty hot pink brackets and other pretty colours! and perfectly wonderful straight teeth!

As of now, i have about 20 unmatched single socks. i wonder where their partners are hiding!

im in the midst of clearing all my notes, believe it or not, 6 years of studying overseas has produced a stack of HANDWRITTEN notes up to my eyes. yes. i am a nerd aiyo. sad.

Also, while clearing, i have discovered some things that i never really noticed that are really precious to my past. i am going to go through this pile of notes thoroughly, i plan to keep my precious notes and show it to my kids one day.

ben's fav.... whahahha.. me also la... andreas also la... kel also la.... cq also la.. erm

don't walk

babes

subaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

remember her??.. still as hot as ever...bloody andreas spoiler =(

Ello guys! how is everyone doing? most probably busy with exams!
so good luck good luck.

this is what my friends's father said to her:
when we are young, we tend to be very very close to our friends.
but as we grow older, we find ourselves drifting apart, as people forge different paths, make new friends, start to build a family. We still feel close but it is difficult to keep in touch and make time.
however, once we reach 60, that is when we will become close again, taking off where it was left.

so guys, see you when i am 60! haha
old friends are gold.

P.S : i can't believe that SIA makes the cabin crew pay for their own luggage, and make up... considering that they are so RICH. i am going to be broke.

is it true that people who are balding their eyebrow will also bald?
let say if you have a pet dog that u brought up since its young, will the dog have an identity crisis like it don't know whether he/she is a human or a dog?
do you know if you put a compass next to ya pc it will move continously(not sure about yours, mine did)
do you know that gaming is just as addictive as smoking, gambling, alcahol and sex(some might defer)
do u know my house got pasar malum for first time in 22 years
is it true that all dogs goes to heaven?
is it true that ben is really busy with his 'work'???
do u know that ben's girlfriend was on tv the other day
how to join the 'Mile High Club'?

*this is a sorry act of boredom( don't u dare ignore)

ya- hoo! i am finally employed.
very happy. and relieved.
bye, to the recruit segment! (well at least for 2 years)
i am going to start training on the 23rd of november. i am really excited about working, not excited about the salary part. only 1000 dollars- but then again better than nothing.
will update again when i actually do start.
now trying to treasure every minute with mj- ya right. instead i am just trying to treasure all my free time, and last days of lobo-ing around. cause i know i am gonna miss it.

food for thought:

If Christopher Columbus had placed a single penny in a 6 percent interest-bearing account and left the earned interest to compound -- earning interest upon the interest -- the resulting balance for 513 years would be $95,919,936,112. That's $95 billion!

im supposed to be writing my essay on the aspirations of the elderly and how they cope with the aging but here i am writing to rave about the movie i just watched with dreas, 'the prestige'. i was wondering throughout the movie how two grown men with so much facial hair can behave the way they do; like felines in a cat fight, only much better. their jealousy and thirst for revenge initially made me empathise then i couldnt help but think "grow up and move on already!" cuz they end up rivalling for a different cause from when they first began. is it really necessary to go through all that trouble just to win, what are you trying to prove? a lot of times it's just smarter to let go instead of getting noosed.
brilliantly smart movie with smooth delivery, go watch it.
Misdirection-what the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.

here i am again- blogging. i am feeling so free this week.
had a pretty good sleep last night. ( after 2 weeks of not sleeping well)
the good thing about not being in school is- no exams! trying to rub it in, cause now is the exam period.

i am going to hong kong for holiday-again in december. This time round, it is with my family.
i have absolutely no idea what to do there, except shop, shop, shop, and eat, eat, eat. And ya, throw in the disneyland for my brother. going on holiday with your family is just plain boring i think, and plus it is going to be cold, and worst- no sale. Damn. Fortunately, my sister is going with me this time round (the last time round was just my mum and me), so at least i have someone to talk to. plus, there are cute hongkie guys, so i can look see, look see. (mj says he can also go "gui hun"= fool around while i am away. haha)

So anyone has any idea as to where to go in hong kong. i have been there twice already, but i still have no idea.

ok i am going off to slack. see you guys on friday. tharin is going to treat us- yay!.

i have been super "suay" (unlucky) man

1) i fell down at home. came out from my mum's toilet and down i went. now i have bruises on my legs and hands.
2) the following day, the taxi that i was in had an accident. sianz. fortunately i was not hurt.
3) went to eat at lei garden, had tummyache after that. i swear it was the clams.

but at least i passed my final interview at SIA. went for a medical checkup. and they will get back to me in two weeks. i really hope i get it. i am 90% there already. so pray for me.
























Some photos from the motorshow :) Enjoy! Brisbane Car Show 2006. Been real busy with exam preparation and stuff, will blog as often as I can! Take care guys & gals :)

i went to "the line" at shangri la hotel for sunday lunch/brunch with my girlfriends and i had a swelling good time! it is worth every cent of my 80 bucks.

a little introduction to my friends,
from left:
1) shuyi/shoobs- super tall man. the girl next door. writes super damn well. very accomplished.
2) ternima- best friends with shuyi. from bangladesh. super pretty and hot. very good PR skills.
3) sha sha- va va voom body. totally not muslim. like pork. editor of children assessment books.
4) zhen- fashion writer. super sweet and tolerant. baby of the group. gets bullied by us all the time.
5) me!- super hot mama of the group. haha. needs no introduction.
6) serene/ser- ambitious, independent, strong and capable. super loyal friend.

so anyways lets go to the line, someday when we are all rich. (hint: tharin, you birthday coming right?)

When i was young, i always wanted to be a lawyer and a doctor, and an architect, all at once.
As i got older, and started playing video games, i wanted to be a professional gamer.
When the days of basketball came, i couldn't enough, i wanted to fly.
The days of nonstop pool at monstercue then took over my life.
Now are the days of poker where i wished i was born with the talent to read opponents.
People ask me what i want to be when i grow up? i say everything, but nothing as well.
Who knows how i became an engineer or what i may become.
Life sure threw me a strange road, hope i find my map soon.

why is it so difficult for the girlfriend and ex girlfriend to hook up( as in to be friends) ?
or the boyfriend and ex boyfriend?
maybe when i become an ex girlfriend, then i will understand from an ex girlfriend point of view.

i feel that before you hit the ripe old age of 21, all brithdays seem like a blast. it is like you are gearing up towards the 21st, the big bash, the excitement of finally being an adult in the eyes of the law. But after the 21st, everything goes downhill. celebrating birthdays have lost that excitement, that spark, that anticipation. it is more of "can we please get it over and done with" "i am so glad that my birthday is over, and that i don't have to think about it for a while".

which girl would be counting down the years to 30? not me, definitely. ( i think this just relates to girls, not the boys)

i think our generation, as in the women in our generation will be different.
so watch out boys. we are going to stage a revolution and take over the world. (and you would not even realise it). so start treating us good. :)

http://www.paulgoldinresearch.com/cg/index.htm

personality test. i think it is quite accurate.

guys and gals you have to watch this... really disturbing if you happen to have a keyboard and a monitor full of "NOOBS".. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf9tfbjAcfg enjoy...!!!! OUTLAWS RULES THE WORLD

Today is my last "Official" day of uni, then it all ends on november 14th! My 6 years of unnecessary education has come to an end at last. Australia has brought me many things, good and bad. It turned my nice brown skin to whitish polarbarish skin, some basic cooking skills(if i dun cook who cook sia, not as if i wanna cook), some basic time management skills(yes, i've learnt that if its too far away and takes too long, better to stay at home and play my game), and many other strange and lovely stuff, including a very strange accent that i use when speaking with aussies.

Aside from that, Whoah what am i going to work as?? I'll be financially independent soon, is that a good thing? No more leeching money from mama everytime my bank balance falls below $100, no more requesting of "i need it now" items, sad.

As with most fresh grads, i dont want to work. big plans, minimal drive. i want to do my own business. yah so easy right, in my ideal world my business requires minimal amounts of my precious time everyday and churns out millions if not billions of dollars while i sit there and play my world of warcraft. I'm in the middle of trying to start up my own computer store! online of course! errrrrrr not expecting much i just want to see if this is a viable secondary income to provide me with some extra cash for my sometimes frivolous spending(very much less often than before). I'm looking for cool gadgets/items/acessories, anything cool that people will buy on impulse, if you have any ideas, and know where to get them for cheap, let me know so i can plan!

Also, eh u all are supposed to come out with some genius business ideas so we can all work for ourselves and do something interesting that we love together! most of u are shaking leg like me so THINK!

Anyways aside from that, if i do eventually secure a job in singapore(i hope... -_-!), i've decided to get a dog! I just need to figure out how to plan my time such that the poor furkid doesnt get lonely at home.

See you on Monday, December 18th, 22:00, as usual. Perhaps supper?

HOME FOR GOOD
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!( if i can find a job)

ive been youtubing for the past three nights and i just want to live as a recluse. tightly snugged and rolled away in my puny world, away from the noise and other things that make you suffer from insomnia.

when you sit wide awake throughout the night and watch the sky turn from pitch black to a blue then finally light thats initially comforting but turns blinding and you hear the different sounds of the time; the silence at 3, the slight chirping at about 4.45, the incessant laughter of the minas at 5.50 then the roaring of bus engines at 6.20; the world around you seems strange and you wonder why you've never noticed this awkward strangeness before.

you probably wouldnt have noticed anything in the first place if you're drowsy and about to collapse to the dead of the night but struggling to keep awake at 430; but when you're not the least bit tired, it is as though your body and mind hasn't got the time kicked into them yet and are still functioning the exact way they would in the day; you feel altogether different as you sit, watch, and breathe unfamiliarity.

I had nothing to do, so i decided to visit youtube to check out some videos. I then searched for "borat" videos! The character from the Ali G shows! Have never laughed so much in years!!! you guys should check it out.


Happy Birthday Jen!!! I know you won the major 10 mil lottery in singapore right? tt's why you ain't working stil!!! anyway, wish you all the best and hope you find that dream job of yours! (whatever it is)!!

Hey TianLi...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

i swear that after 21, everything just seems to zoom by. and now we are approaching the end of the year already! yet another year has gone by!
So now that you are 22, are we suppose to be more sensible, mature, responsible?

so wishing youearly success and hope you earn your first million (and many more millions) very soon. so that you can open your own company and hire me! haha. thats what friends are for?!

hugs, but no kisses,
jen

Hey guys,

For those of you looking for jobs, i just did the standard chartered test at
http://www.graduate.standardchartered.com/Live/Frontend/applyonline.html.

Its not that hard, i think its just to annoy you, for someone who doesnt know anything about how to calculate data from stock data sheets i passed! so it cant be that hard. give it a shot.

I found a webbie here with links to companies looking for graduates.... Andreas, tianli, mj, tharin, weiguang, hope this might be of use to you:

Cheers, hope you have better luck than me

I feel terrible. I just did my Management Accounting A online quiz... 8/20.. how sucky is that... It's actually the 2nd time round of me doing this quiz, as the online server shut down on me while i was attempting it the first time, and now i have to re-do it... i seriously believed i did better for the 1st one.. MUCH BETTER... fucking server... i hate you bitch... today i aslo had to spent 2 hours at a group meeting... to do what you ask? to choose 1 fucking company... yes, just to choose 1 fucking company so we can start our essay... how fucking inefficient we are... now, i think i should just spill it all out and here it goes... i feel like i'm wayyyy behind my work, wayyy behing my preperation for the finals, which starts on nov. 9th. how fast is that.. not to mention my parents will be here eyeing me like a hawk on the 25th... inspecting and investigating my behaviour, lifestyle, finances (which is really bad thanks to ben... haha...) etc etc... how much worse can it be... actually much worse, cause i apperantly have 7assignments/presentations due in these 3 final weeks of uni... damnnit... furthermore, i'm like supposed to be an expert in my finance subject, but now, i can't even understand dick shit on the basic technicla stuff... even the textbook can't clearify my doubts, not even the tutor cause he assumes singaporean/malaysian = super smart, need no explanation... damnnit^2. i think i will have to de-stress FULLY for 1 whole freaking day, get a massage from an mainland china girl who looks like a mamasan at some dodgy chinatown alley shop, get dead drunk on absinth... maybe do some socially unacceptable behaviour and vandalise the car of that asshole who i hate so much (please treasure you're friends.. which means, US... as friends made in uni are nothing but a bunch of self glorifying centered assholes with man boobs and tasteless choice of expensive products and knowledge worst then a monkey who would stab you and gourge you in the back when you're not looking)... yes, that is what i should do... in 1 day... and then, yes, i think i would be ready to face the challanges ahead of me... why do i still feel so pissed? damnnit... just remember one thing my friends, if you think you're having a bad day, please fuck yourself.

yoz peeps!!! i heard frm wk that joline told him tat 25th nov there will be a alumni gathering @ GMSS...ani more info will updates u guys!!!!

i've finally ord, no more booking into bedok camp, no more waking up early(for now), no need to endure any more of those last minute instructions and working late into the night ethic. this battalion or should i say this mono is really a rubbish bin man, we just 'ta' everything that others throws at us..talk about being 'elite'..hahah...so i feel i've done more than my fair share in the service, this is my time to take a well deserved break. although i might seems unhappy with life in army sometimes but actually it is only when i got posted into my unit that i'm unhappy other than that my life as a trainee (bmtc,sispec) is a fun filled and eye opening experience. although is not very fun getting F*** for no apparent reason but it is still better than the person standing infront mete out punishment..it sucks.. this picture here represents my life cycle in the army. the 3 sandbags signified the 3 school that i've been to(bmtc aplha, bslc bravo, aslc alpha) which in turns are the base that supports the legs of the gpmg mount. the legs are the peoples that i grew and nutured with, they were the one who i fought, slept, ate, bathe, getting wacked, marched and worked with. they are my friends, buddy and the one that keep me save from harm. the gpmg, one of the most lethal hand held infantry weapon, with and incredible range, rapid output and thundering presence. it represents the fruit of my hardwork and also the knowledge that i recieved from my peers and instructors, the loyalty of my peers, the fighting spirit we each have within and the camaraderie forged are the building blocks of me as a soldier. as this chapter of my life comes to a close, somewhere in the corner of my heart i i wish i can rewind to the time spent with you guys. you gave me an invaluable, indispensable, incredible army experience. thank you.

im back in spore in time to finish up term papers and memorise my script for tomorrow's presentation on "Uses and Abuses of Preservatives". ha.
jakarta was great not only cuz of andreas but also cuz i didnt have to think temporarily. sometimes you just need to stop thinking, even if you're thinking about thinking, don't. anyways, jakarta was so hot, not humid hot like here, just hot. it got up to 42 degrees celsius on my last day there. there's no such thing as drinking too much water there cuz the heat sucks up all the energy and you become so lethargic and stoned to do anything, let alone think. people drive like mad men and once you give way to someone else you're a dead duck. it was too congested and whoever planned how the roads run did an awful job so traffic jams are as usual as my getting bitten by fat mosquitoes (which by the way was all the freakin time if i didnt wear jeans).
bali was hot people galore. saw a japanese surfer dude who was oh so hot and dreas spent time ogling at other girls with barely there bikinis. haha. too commercialised, too touristy, too many touters. and the sand was soft and we ate dinner obviously at tanahlot on the beach with the sea breeze and seafood. you cannot not go there if you're in bali despite the fact it's catered specially for suckers like us.
i didn't like lombok cuz i fell sick and the resort we stayed in was a ghost town plus there were hardly anybody around and we were in senggigi which is supposedly the tourist populated town. so we upgraded our flight to business in order to fly back to jakarta earlier. we never want to fly economy again. hahah but as if we have a bloody choice.
there wasn't much to buy in terms of apparels, most of the stuff are imported from HK (where else) and once you've browsed in one store, you've basically seen all. so i came home without new clothes or shoes or bags, oh so unlike me. plus i didnt get to try my bargaining skills!
but at least the food was pretty good!
oh and andreas' brother has a number of pets but there's this one pet i especially like. she's a small goldfish named tornado cuz of the way she spins up to the surface with her tiny little fins. she's adorable. she sucks on your finger too if you put it into the water. haha. she's absolutely lovely. i dont like fish but i like tornado. oh and the blind husky called blanco mated with the retriever and they produced a weird lookin mix whose name ive forgotten and he committed incest by mating with his mother. haha.
so anyway, andreas is coming back early next month! :)


The food at Sydney Fish Market. Simply Awesome.

Pelican Posing


Taken at the Hunter Valley Gardens




i ate rabbit. maybe it was a couple of rabbits i dont know but i know i ate rabbit(s). rabbit satay. seriously.
i felt sorry the moment i found out it was rabbit, i kept seeing a cute fat bunny in my mind's eye.
rabbit doesn't taste that great though, a bit tough, not one bit like chicken. plus it's pinkish even after it's grilled. rabbit satay.

ok, enough rabbit talk.

dreas is poring through his old long forgotten pictures from his childhood and travels with the family and he's convinced that when it comes to appearances, he peaked too early. haha.
and he's such a poser when he was a kid, everything also qiang jing tou (fight for the camera lens), even when it's not his birthday he's posing right behind the cake like he owns it.

ok going to watch taiwanese drama serial now.. hahah.. okbye


At Hunter Valley, Sydney (Tempus Two Winery)


Tianli & Ines




My Dear Friends,

Thank you for being there for me whether in sickness or in health, worried for me when i'm unsure about my future ahead even though you have your own problems to deal with and for giving me everything that comes from the bottom of your heart. i appreciate you, each and everyone of you. before you think is a suicide note, it's not. i just feel that sometimes if you have things to say to someone you care or dear to you, shouldn't defer or negelect cause you'll never get another chance to walk this path again. And so my friends lets meet up soon and do some catching up yeah. "Live Your Best Life"

your endearing friend,
mingjun

kelvin tan you are a super genius. maybe you can consider going into the tuition business.

anyways guys, i was just wondering if you guys are too pai seh to go buy condoms,
so you end up 1) not using them 2) don't use any 3) use expired ones
just doing a survey here. cause maybe we can sell condoms online! and have it delivered right to the mailbox! that would save everyone the embarressment.

on another note:
i wonder if you felt the same way.

Let Susan be X
Let Alice be Y

Susan = Alice - $120
X = Y - $120 (Equation 1)


6*(Alice - $210) = Susan
6Y - $1260 = X (Equation 2)


Sub equation 1 into equation 2.

6Y - $1260 = (Y - $120)
5Y = $1140
Y = $228 (Therefore Alice has $228)

Susan has $228-$120 = $108

OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here is another one.

susan had 120 dollars less than alice.
after alice spend 210 dollars, susan had 6 times as much money as alice.
how much money did susan have?

P.S hey kel is there any other way to do the other question? cause my bro has learn only simple algebra.

Not sure if this is an easier way to do it, but lemme try again
Let Ali be X
Let Bala be Y
Let Colin be Z

X + Y = 44 -> Y = 44 - X
Z + X = 52 -> Z = 52 - X

We know X : (Y + Z) <-- Equation (1)
5 : 14


So now sub Y & Z into eqn (1)
X : (44-X+52-X)
X : 92 - 2X <---- Equation (2)
5 : 14

So now try to sub in a value of X till equation 2 becomes the ratio 5:14. if you sub in X=20, you get the answer. hope it was helpful

Oh its simple, is this for morris?

Ali + Colin = 52 marbles
Ali + Baba = 44 marbles

We know
(Ali) : (Colin+Baba)
5 : 14

There fore, now lets try all the possible combinations.
Case 1:
-------
Ali has 5 marbles
so Colin has 52-5=47 marbles
so baba has 44-5 marbles=39 marbles
So the ratio is ----> 5 : (47+39) -------> 5 : 86 which cannot be correct because it said its 5:14

Case 2:
-------
Ali has 10marbles
so Colin has 52-10=42 marbles
so baba has 44-10 marbles=34 marbles
So the ratio is ----> 10 : (42+34) -------> 10 : 76 ----> 5:38 which cannot be correct because it said its 5:14

Case 3:
-------
Ali has 15 marbles
so Colin has 52-15=37 marbles
so baba has 44-15 marbles=29 marbles
So the ratio is ----> 15 : (37+29) -------> 15 : 66 ---> 5:33 which cannot be correct because it said its 5:14

Case 4:
-------
Ali has 20 marbles

yay i finally got offered a job. but i am not sure if i want to take it.
it is for the people's association (think PAP) and i got to work at some community club in the north west area. so not glamourous. plus it is a two year contract, meaning if i don't like the job, i still got to stick to it (it is like the army)
but the good thing is the money. basic- 2050, plus allowance 450. so it is not bad.
what should i do??
got to reply them by next week.
