Chasing A Dream

Knowledge is Power

2008-12-23T09:11:00.000-08:00

~Knowledge is power~ The year is starting and i am hired back as a tuition teacher...
Its kindda good money at $20 dollar per hour, but its an hour of non stop concentration and mind power!
I was thinking about those people that earn 3 dollars per hour sevring customer and cleaning shit in macdonald. lol... hope i do not get sued...
That lead me to thinking that Knowledge is Power!!!
So lets all study hard!!! =)))

I got a fren in NUM, kindda a good fren which i really like to work with...
He got played by his gf and he could not get over her even for weeks and would blog abt how they might get back together and even if there was the tiniest bit of chance, he would wait.
Hope is just a double edged sword~
He pierce his mouth after that, i guess its just people instinct to do more extream stuff when they are heart broken trying to get over something....
I also did stuff like that when i use to be heart broken..... i guess its more of different and things that you would normally not do....
I tried colour contacts (even though i had no degree), i went to learn motor ( thats the biggest sin in my family) and many other stuff which i cannot remember too....
Who knows what heals a broken heart.... Distraction might be the best pain killer...

Quote of the day
Never be afraid to stand up for yourself! Do not allow others to step all over you!

Question of the day
Should we all stop expecting so much that when we receive even the small things we would be happy? Or should we have high expection which comes with a higher disappointment?

!GASTON HAS TO TIP TOE~

Work was as usual FUN!
Work till 1 am and it was really quite between 12 - 1
And we have our pumping game!
DID AT LEAST 400 PUSH UP!
Participant Gaston Stefan Garry and me!
Stefan however cheated with his SO CALLED "WATER POLO PUSHUP" which look exactly like a worm vibrating on the ground! Maybe it shld be called dildo pushups.

High School Musical wasnt the best show but the songs are really nice!
And both the lead are damn HOT!

Question Of The Day
Why would we want people to perceive that we are strong and happy on the outside when we know whats the truth deep down inside?

Living life with NO REGETS

2008-10-23T07:35:00.000-07:00

Did you at some point of time regret that you did not do or act on something?
Not having the guts or determination to achieve certain things
Something that just slip pass your fingers?

What was the feeling like?

Lets live life with no regrets!
Lets do what we always wanted without worrying what others portray of you.
Lets take that leap of faith without worrying the final result.
Lets just do what you have always wanted to!

Quotes Of The Day

The greatest handicap a man could have is worrying about what others think of him.

Slack at home yesterday and watch grey's anatomy with ah pui!
The show is more exciting if you cover you mouth with you hand and watch.
And as usual snoopy was demanding attention and abusing us.

You get away with crime if you are this cute!

Went to the east coast!
Makan at the hawker center
Blade from bedok jetty to MAC and then back with a few falls here and there, OPPS!
Are we good or wat! *Fist to Fist* USHHHHH

It was fun navigating around Singapore with a street directory and with someone who cant read the map when you are driving. =)) LOL
Met up with steven, marcus and mel swee at bedok 85 for supper.

Glad that you enjoyed yourself!!!
Everything just seems all too familiar.
It was nice being able to talk about the past and things that we did.
Memories just seem like yesterday.
I guess we grew up from that entire saga. =)
So whats ahead? Singapore flyer eh?!

Whatever It Takes (Lifehouse)

2008-10-18T09:25:00.000-07:00

A strangled smile fell from your face
It kills me that I hurt you this way
The worst part is that I didn't even know
Now there's a million reasons for you to go
But if you can find a reason to stay

I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I'll keep us together whatever it takes

She said "If we're gonna make this work
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see"
She said "Like it or not it's the way it's gotta be
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me"

I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
And give me a break
I'll keep us together, I know you deserve much better

But remember the time I told you the way that I felt
That I'd be lost without you and never find myself
Let's hold onto each other above everything else
Start over, start over

I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
and believe that I can change
I'll keep us together whatever it takes

I believe that some mistakes in life has to be made.
Mistakes that allow one to mature and see things in a different way.

It made me ponder, wasnt it suppose to be... everybody deserve a second chance?

Directly outside subway is the 2AM DESSERT BAR!!!

Why is it more expensive for males?

INSIDE

Jessie has white choco cookie breast
and i have rasin boobs!!!
IT WAS TOTALLY HER IDEA!!!
JESSIE IS A NAUGHTY GAL!

Me and jessie shared a Footlong bread. Were busy swapping the veges as we had different preference.
FINAL results
Mine on the left looks so pathetic with no more ingredient
whereas hers on the right cannot even close the bread.

Decision
I shall learn to just eat all the veges!

To End The Day

I was whining away on the MRT on the way back. Just didnt know why somethings happen the way it did. Jessie and ShingChoon were really nice to hear and encourage me. REALLY. I MEAN IT. Its really nice to know that you have good friends around you.

Belly Rubbing Day

Met maureen at dhoby Ghaut mrt to do some present shopping for someone.

Thats the expression you have when your stomach are giving you trouble. She was really in pain but accompanied me to our next food review cause she knew i was really looking foward to it. =)

Food Review
Fishermen's Wharf
Opposite Clarke Quay Mrt

Thats the huge signboard outside the shop!

A HUGE SMILE ON HER FACE AS WE AWAIT FOR OUR FOOD.

FISH AND CHIPS
We could choose between chips or fries.
Chips- freshly cut potatos
Fries- Normal fries
OF COURSE WE CHOSE CHIPS

Fish and chips was nice expect the outer layer of skin keep falling off which was kindda irrtating and maureen was complaining that the fish was not firm enough. HOWEVER chips were fabulous and the homemade tartar sauce was to DIE FOR!

FINAL VERDICT

FOOD 8/10
Value 7/10
Ambience 6/10
Service NA/10

The fish and chips was good and special oin their way
The price was just $6.50 however there are more exensive fish that we didnt tried. Food tasters on a budget.
The ambience was so-so. Nothing really fancy.
Last but not least, it was self service.

Maureen: Lousy leh, how can self-service de.
Me: GOOD LEH!!! CAN SAVE 10% ON SERVICE CHARGE. *eyes gleaming!

To End The Day
Gave Maureen a BELLY RUB to thank her for being so sporting!!!

Happy Birthday To Meeeeeee!!!

It's the time of the year when you get officially get older by a year
It's the time of the year when you blow the candles off the cake and make a wish (although i made a few =D)
It's the time of the year when you realize that maybe you are getting too old for all those childish acts that you are famous for.

Of all days, my maths test just had to fall on my birthday: its like only once a year and it had to be on that day. But i guess it was still kindda cool with all the presents and not to mention FREE FOOD!!!!

ROUND ONE

Met up with my mates, Dennis, Marian, Kian Boon and Maurice (<----sounds familar doesnt it?) Had a huge Feast at BOTAK JONES which was a treat from them. Guess i have to run extra 10 round to burn off the calories! What nice frens i have... =D It was kindda pervertic when they were enlightening me abt 1st base 2base 3base and homeRUN with unnecessary actions from shukrie! GOSSIP OF THE DAY SHUKRIE brought a JC gal home from zouk!!! now i believe that LOOKS can be DECEIVING!!! Gonna bribe me big time if you wanna me to delete that! =P

Round TWO

Waited for Pei Rong at fc4 for her to pass me some stuff (PREZZIES!!!!)

THIS WAS ONE OF HER PRESENTS!!! HAHAHA. DO I LOOK LIKE A KID?

LOOKS LIKE SNOOPY IS GONNA HAVE SOME FUN TODAY!!!

There were ROYCE chocolate which was heavenly and also some brownies which i guess it was from the taka brownie shop, spot on! Maybe i shld be some food taster or something.
Was busy munching away those brownies in the workshop.
It was really nice of her to get me so much stuff, wan kindda paisah too!
KUDOS TO PEI RONG!

ROUND THREE

I was scurrying away to the MRT on my way to meet maureen at clarke quay mrt.
She wanted to give me a surprise by meeting me outside the class, but she was late so we ended meeting at the stairs. NOW THAT WAS the surprise. =P
She was acting all mysterious trying to surprise me with some special place for dinner. But with BLUR maureen leading the way!!! It took us almost a 30min walk around clarke quay just to find the place. It was some well needed exercise for her also.HOHO! Had some FUN touring or should i say LOST!

That is her disgracing herself in public!!! MEDITATING OUTSIDE SOME CHINESE RESTAURANT!!!

HERE'S A CLOSE UP! Some prodigy eh?

ENDED up lost in some weird carpark and we saw a really cute topless car (Cabriolet)

We took turns taking photo. I think i make a way better photographer
than her!

FOOD REVIEW
Ricciotti Italian Deli & Pastry
B1-49/50 The Riverwalk
20 Upper Circular Road

After MINDLESS WALKING AND SEARCHING.
We finally manage to find the place with the help of her sexy voice and pervertic uncles. LOL. =PPP

1st dish

LAMB SHANK
It was extremely soft and tender.
However, the taste was just average
Nothing special i guess

2nd dish
SMOKE SALMON PAINNI
Those were sandwiches wrap with paper.
Kinda unique.

Its just smoke salmon spinach and some cream sauce which blend perfectly together with extra crisy toast.
THUMBS UP!

FINAL VERDICT
FOOD 8/10
Value 6/10
AMBIENCE 2/10
Service 6/10
The food was pretty all right and the pricing were pretty average too...
We were seated in the middle of nowhere in a tiny weeny table!!!

Will you return to this place?
Once in awhile

Guess the price game

Me: ehhh.. lets guess the price... loser shall treat for dessert!
Her: *EVIL STARE... ermmm... okie lor...
Me: Let you guess first la...
Her: ermmm...$40? (me laughing like mad) NONO.... $35....
Me: okie, then i guess $34.90

KNOCKED OUT

Sat at some cosy corner near the rive
Unknowly we had a really good chat from 10++ to 1148.
Talking about our past and our lives before, growing up and not taking the people closest to us for granted.
