Well,the title said everything. My nose problem is back. Was down down on Thursday due to this and it came back again on Sun. Darn. I think I literally slept the whole Sun away. And to think that I had planned to go for a jog in the evening. The quiz at the bottom was the result of being stuck in front of the PC due to my bloody nose. I can't possibly run around with mucus flowing down my nose. My nose feel like a bloody spoilt tap. I can't turn it off.
Had mahjong on Fri night and lost. $26. $7 more and I can paid for 1 driving lesson. Sianzz. Well, you can't always win in life. I shall have my revenge soon.
Not sure if you guys had seen the Tammy clip. I had seen it myself(I am no saint) but I felt that the comments and criticism she had received had gone too far. It's her private life. No one got the right to lecture her on what to do and not to do. Unless you are her parents or bf. Speaking of bf. If her ex really did upload this clip onto the web, I hope some actions can be taken against him. It is because of people like him that make me sick of this world. I would be hugely disappointed if NYP really decide to sack her. I think the best thing to do now is just to let her carry on with life. She is only 17. A minor. She still have a long way in front of her. I am sure that she was just blinded by love at that moment of time. People in love can do a lot of stupid things. Esp ladies. To call her a slut and other ugly names is simply too much. Everyone have his or her own needs. Having sex is not something to be ashamed of.
Someone important in the history of S'pore had just passed away. Watched the memorial service for Mr S Rajaratnam on Sat. All I knew about him was that he was the one who had penned the National pledge. After reading through numerous articles on the paper about him, I felt that we should really commemorate him by naming something after him. Maybe a cultural centre or a scholarship.
He started our Foreign Ministry from scratch. At a time when S'pore was just a third world country and with not much military might to speak of. To be able to influence decision and win friends for S'pore was simply remarkable. His vision of a multiracial society remains one the main pillar for the success of S'pore. S'pore had really came far as compared to our neighbours and much of it was due to the hard work of our forefathers. People like Mr Raja who had the vision and determination to change S'pore to a place where we can all call home. A home that we can be proud of. A global city where people of all races and religion can strive to be successful. Living without any prejudice against them. All men treated as an equal. A home that I would never want to leave.
We, the citizens of Singapore,
pledge ourselves as one united people,
regardless of race, language or religion,
to build a democratic society
based on justice and equality
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and
progress for our nation.

Was looking through the websites of MDIS and SIM. Yes. I am planning to study before the end of the year. I need to have something on hand for me to do. My mind tend to go a wandering nowadays if I am alone at home. Well, I was bent on studying Mass Communications from SIM before I had done some serious research tonight. After the research that I had done, Mass Communications might not seems like the best choice for me. The modules are interesting but not so sure that i will do well in it. There are a few modules where students are required to make speeches and I am a damn lousy speaker. I stammer when I am with crowds. I am always lost with words when I am with strangers (Unless they are my prospects cause I had been drilled with so much roleplaying). How am I going to do well in the course if I am not going to score in that few modules? The fact that SIM is so bloody far away from my home make it a poor choice for me.
I am thinking of taking up the Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Marketing from MDIS. It is from the University of Bradford, UK. Not sure where it is as the only thing I know about Bradford was that they were a real crap team back in the English Premier League in the 90s. The modules are interesting and I think I should do reasonably well in it. I was doing some of the projects for my ex gf back when we were in Singapore Poly and guess what she was taking then? Diploma in Marketing. Seems like what I had done and learnt in the past is going to come in handy soon. The fact that it is not that far away from home make it seems far more attractive than SIM. Nothing is concrete yet as I will need to find out more about the modules. MDIS website is not as good as SIM in terms of giving out courses information.
The cost of the course is something that is bothering me. I will need to pay a total sum of S$18,600 in total for four installments for the course. This works out to $4650 per installment. This is a huge sum of money. The thing that scare me is that I have literally no savings and my current pay cheque is not going to help me attain this goal of mine. I need MONEY!! The dateline is either on the end of July or end of Nov. Unless I find some means to get that first installment, the earliest date I can start schooling is in Dec 06. Even this is not a certainty.
I checked out some of the bank loans but it make no economic sense for me to pay over 20k for the course. I will need 5 years to pay off the loan. By then I will already be 31. Too old for my liking. I will really need to sit down and think carefully over this. Wish me luck. ;)
想念变成怀念
心动变成心碎
偏偏还会关切
你最后属于谁
我的天空今天有点灰
我的心是个落叶的季节
我不知道如何度过今夜
所有的灯早已经全都熄灭

You scored as English. You should be an English major! Your passion lies in writing and expressing yourself creatively, and you hate it when you are inhibited from doing so. Pursue that interest of yours!

This weekend was supposed to be good for me until just now. Even though I had expected Spurs to screw themselves up by drawing with Sunderland but I still can't get over it. Just what the FIAK was Stalteri thinking about. It is not the first time he had screw up big time this season. We could have been 6 points in front of the Gooners if we had hold on for the win. Major disappointment. If I was Martin Jol, I would have replace him with Stephen Kelly ages ago. He is simply too complacent.
Anyway, my new Mahjong table was opened on Fri night by Benson, Chun Poh(Stanley, Grace and Vincent. We played till the morning again but Benson left us at around 3. He was kicked out of the game by the gang for winning close to $50 in two games. :P Well, the new table did bring me some luck. I won around $20 in one game. Been ages since I won in mahjong. Well, all good things had to come to an end as I ended up losing $20 the next night in Dai Dee with Alson and the rest. The winner was of course Alson again. How to win him when he always have one Bloody big Full House and either Ace pair or Dee pair. Sianzzz.. Anyway, I am ok with the defeat which is surprising. Seems like I had got numb to this losing feeling.
I am not hungry for success in things that I am doing now. Life seems to have come to a standstill for the past few weeks. I don't know how I am going to get my focus back but I know some drastic actions will have to be taken to arrest the slide. Had a talk with both my Boss and team leader on Fri. The scenario they pictured to me is that you know that a car is coming your way. You can either dodge it, stand still and wait to be kill or charge at it to make it stop. I would have charged at the problem in the past. Now, I am not sure.
Anyway, back to work tomorrow. If only I had gotten the tickets to Corrinne May concert tomorrow. Now, tomorrow is just another day for me. On a bright note, at least I will be driving again tomorrow. ;)

Just had my first driving lesson earlier. It was fun. Damn fun. Something for me to take my mind off my troubles. I think my car died on me about 3 times. Not too bad for a beginner ba. My instructor is a nice guy. First time I drove home leh. Shiok!!
Visited my Encik Warrant Koh's home last Sat. It was great to see him and his family again. He is one of the best officers I had known from my army days and the only one who still keep in contact with us after our ORD. I think our days in Wallaby had only strengthen that bond. It was also great to see my friends from the S3 branch again. Had fun with them before joining my sec school buddies at Xiao P (Grace) home. Went for Loh Hei(my third this year!! Really hope it will bring me more good luck) before proceeding to mahjong at my home. We had 7 people at my home on Sat playing mahjong(including my mum). What happened was I asked more people as all those that I asked would not commit their time (only play mahjong leh.. Not go steady also scared). Turn out that all wanted to come in the end. I could had opened 3 tables of mahjong. To bad I only got one set and I also had no intention for my home to be a gambling den. So Vincent and Poh shared one table and Mum and I guided Grace. Thought she was not bad a player but turn out that she was one big sotong. Luckily I was there to stop her or else she would have Zai Hu. And the best part was it was only for one tai. Mum also guided her before retiring to bed. We played 3 long rounds before calling it a day at 8 a.m. By that time mum had already woke up for her visit to the temple. Talk about mahjong playing of the highest order. I was so shacked that day. But I had fun. We must do this once a month man. Grace, I will definitely ask u along. U need the training and also it is better to donate your money to us than others right?? :P Sorry to those who dun understand mahjong. You might not understand a single word of what i had just said. ;)
I am going to be Best Man on the 11th of March. One of my longest serving buddy had finally decided to take the plunge into his grave as what he describled to me. Well, as your buddy I will definitely accompany u in your last few weeks as a single man. I am ur buddy, best man and also the godfather to your unborn child. :) Really happy for you. You had finally enter a stage that I am looking forward to and yet afraid of what it might bring. I wish you and your family hapinness. Thanks a lot for your advice over the weekend. U really woke me up with your scolding. Quoted from your blog(http://adamcreateve.blogspot.com/) " nobody can make you miserable without your permission. No matter what someones say or does, you decide how you will react. " My fav quote of the week. And yes, I will definitely give you a BIG BIG Ang Bao.
P.S: The BIG BIG Ang Bao will only be valid if i hit the 10 million Toto this Fri. ;P

About to sleep soon but kinda feel like blogging before that. Just lost $33 in cards to The Three Musketeers. In less than 2 hours. Well done. You guys had improve or had I turn lousy?? Anyway, I am going to start my car lesson on Mon night. :) $33 for 90 mins. And I just lost it away in cards.. Darnzzz. Hope to get the licence before July ba. My birthday is on that month. A driving licence will be a great gift to round up the celebrations if there are to be any. Don't really have the habit of celebrating it. ;)
CNY is ending soon but another "festival" i am dreading is coming soon. The festival where all couples proclaim their undying love for each other. Not saying this because of jealousy but it is just another opportunity for retailers to make money off us poor consumers. Heard that rose will cost up to $80 for half a dozen on that day. Total insanity. I can have close to 3 driving lesson based on that amount. :P I won't blast too much onto this as I also did bought flowers for someone before.Anyway, the joy of seeing the smile on her face when she received it was more than enough for that amount. But that is only when it is not as expensive as $80.. ;)
Anyway, hope to be able to get a driving lesson on that day. Don't think there will be any places to go on that day either. The whole place will be so packed with couples. Feel kinda strange if you are alone. Spending it with friends who are single might also be an attractive option. Mahjong on that day anyone?? ;)
Sleeping now. Still got to work tomorrow. Nitezzzz..

Just got back from Weiguo's home. This is a guy whom I had known for 21 years. It is even older than some of the age of my friends around me. So what make us tick? Well, one thing for sure is that we were friends before we came to know what this world is like. Which means that there are no form of lies between us. All that we say come straight from the heart and not through our mind. Heartfelt words and advice are simply the best whenever you are feeling down. I always feel that friends are like wine. The longer they are with you, the more valuable there are. I hope to meet up with Muquan before the new year end. He is another 21 years friend of mine. So by any chance if you are reading this, my mum is still waiting for your visit.
Had the chance to have dinner with Weiguo and his family. To be honest, it had been so long that I had forgotten when was the last time I had a home cooked meal with more than 3 people around. The taste of a family having a meal together is simply great. Weiguo's father used to dote on me when he was around. To be honest, I did shed tears when I heard of his father death. I think I was 12 or 13 then. His dad was a friendly and nice man who will bring the two of us out for meals at Chinatown. Always wonder how great it would be if he was my Dad.
Saw his niece and nephew for the first time in about 3 years. Darn.I am really getting old. They are already 5 and 3 respectively. Seeing them seems to brighten my day. The innocence and playfulness of kids always bring a smile to my face. They are simply so adorable. The whole family seems to be brighten up just by them being around. I long for this kind of warmth whenever I am back at home. I do love my mum but always felt that how great it will be if there are to be 1 more people living with us. Sharing our joys and sorrows. Is it the mood or simply me feeling tired of floating around alone and longing for a companion who can walk the rest of the path with me. I don't know. I really don't.
回家感觉真好别管世俗纷扰
把一整天的面罩忙和累的大脑
都往热水里泡
让没一颗细胞忘掉烦恼
我的家就是我的城堡
每一砖一瓦用爱创造
家里人的微笑是我的财宝
等回家才知道自己真的重要
双手能为家人而粗糙
班么荣耀那么骄傲
你为我把饭烧我为你打扫
啊回家的感觉实在真的太好
