Yup, she's facing the door there alright, the huge bag from the Singapore Polytechnic student saved her some grace though. And yes, it is a mirror she is holding with her right hand.. that's it for your INDIGENOUS MRT NATIVE!!! WOOT! 

The funny auntie in orange.. she was going to alight the train already.. at Tanjong Pagar too~ 

A rare Mercedes Benz coupe! Or rather a bit old la.. nevertheless quite eye-catching.. 300SL24.. Never understood how Mercedes Benz numbers their models though.. 

Can you believe your eyes? Its a Mazda 323 Protege (Staff Goh's car) transformed... Wahh! Spotted at Tanjong Pagar..  

You can see the soap bubbles there.. too bad don't have any Newton's rings for colourful effects :( 

The last car wash for scooby... soapy headlamps there.. 

Prevention is better than cure?

Anyway it is the end-users' fault that your own computers have come to be infected by various spyware and adware. If you still don't understand the importance of installing an anti-virus software, you people really need to find out more.
Note: After I reformatted my PC, I installed Norton Antivirus 2005 first before connecting to the Internet to update my anti-virus software. Within 5 minutes, the automatic firewall from Norton had already blocked the 'Back orifice' trojan horse at least twice.

So anyway to all people out there, please get your computer some protection by investing in some anti-virus software. (According to staff at a reliable computer repair shop, Norton Antivirus is the best, and free antivirus softwares use engines that are not as effective to speak simply.)

Good luck with the www.patchnow.net pop ups... unfortunately I only know the preventive method, not the cure..

ZZzzZZz

Oh well.. anyway my SX1 aka SeXy1 has some software problem and it has cui-ed. So .. I have lost all my contacts except those no.s that I can remember by heart.

So only best buddy Beng, PC Lee, 1 of BFSW numbers I can remember. The rest have gone to data heaven already. You know, actually sometimes just browsing through your phone book, you find some entries that seem unfamiliar and you actually refresh your memory by looking at them. Like once I went through my entries 1 by 1 and slowly recounted the faces and memories that I have passed through.. among the more interesting entries included...

XMXMBJS - she mo she mo bo jio shen..(Only the army guys will know)
Jedi Council - Zhenwei's home number.. haha!
Mr Bella - Chew's handphone number~
WARNING: Siva hp - allows me to prepare myself for arrows.. :(
Kenny(NUS) hp - He sends lovey dovey messages to me occasionally.. by accident of course!
Kenny hp - Kenny from 42SAR, I once meant to call Kenny(NUS) but called Kenny(42SAR) to meet up for lunch in Science canteen when he was .... OUTFIELD IN AREA D! Haha!

You know its spring-cleaning time when..

You search for 1 single bloody CD for 2 hours to no avail. Being a neat and tidy person, or rather trying to be one all my life so as to speak, I normally don't misplace my stuff that easily. So when I cannot find something it will bug me to no end and I won't be able to sleep in peace.

Anyway a lot has happened in the holidays, one event of which will be a surprise to my 'loyal readers'. Been CORS-ing lately and I think I will be taking at least 1 sociology module. Probably a Geography module as well, since I dabao-ed 2 then I'll have to do 2 6-module-semesters.

Reservist letter has arrived too.. I'm so looking forward to chiong sua-ing with the rest of the guys in Area A/B/C/D/E .. NOT! Speaking of which I bumped into Chunkiat @ Seiyu Bugis Junction, where he's working at Cupid Jewels. Heard from him that Kelvin Lim aka 'xiao bing' (literally, laughing biscuit -_-") will not join us in this ICT and hence he will not be joining us in our reservist batallion. So sad.. stupid NUH don't want to release him.. there goes another funny funny character in our platoon.

Remember my oh-so-arrogant cousin who sells prawn noodles? That prima donna shot his mouth off again and I was kind of offended. Not that I'm a very petty guy to begin with but I certainly do not appreciate the idea that I am being called useless, whether it was implied or a direct attack. I'm starting to believe that mofo has prawn shells for a brain. Asshole.. I won't elaborate on it further but everybody agrees he has changed since he found his fortune.

Its time for another useless list~!
1. Toshiba TV fixed. I love Toshiba! (repairman actually came early.. impressed?)
2. Passport photo changed. (Fatimah ki-sa-man, luckily I got put coupon hehe! Noob fatimah!)
3. Tio 2 summons on same day, first for failing to display parking coupon @ Marine Parade then failing to insert cashcard for ERP gantry (CCB, lao beh take cashcard out never put back in)
4. Finally switched to using a sponge to wash scooby. Not very effective in wiping tough stains though.
5. Bought new motherboard for the PC. So far so good, the wireless connection still sucky though :(
6. New Year's eve spent at Geylang! Oops.. we were at a friend's office though, quite interesting nevertheless, counted down with 'dou jiang you tiao' now that's a first for sure!
7. Laptop seems to be so far so good, maybe its having its holiday too.. doesn't cock up now and then like it did during the academic semester.
8. Went to Mushroom Pot restaurant twice within the same week (I think.. or 7 days) which has a nice steamboat thing going on, highly recommended!
9. Stopped beside a Civil Defence vehicle which was like 2 or 3 times my vehicle's height. (I don't know what is the name but its the vehicle used for extending the ladder for rescue purposes.. er.. 'Long Red Rhino'?)
10. Saved by our geographical position from the killer tsunami waves that generated from a massive earthquake in the Indian Ocean. God bless the victims..

Ooops

Hehe.. been too busy with holidaying these few weeks.

Today's happenings, saw an auntie who nearly tripped over some .. inconsiderate/ignorant guy at Han's restaurant. Zzz.. it pays to use common sense you know..

Oops.. Christmas and New Year's day is over already.. haha Happy 2005 to all of you! -.-
My 2005 resolution is to .. put in more effort in whatever I do... at least I'll remind myself time to time?

And perhaps that will start from schoolwork!

Rage unleashed..

This is such a terrible time, tens of thousands are dead within hours just because of a single earthquake. Perhaps the 'coffeeshop theory' is right, that the almighty Allah has been disturbed by too many Islamic extremists, thwarting the religion so that he decided to show who's boss after all. (no offence meant to anyone)

That's just rubbish talk from the coffeeshop anyway. We should thank our lucky stars, suns and moons that we are shielded from the full impact of the tsunamis by Sumatra. Just watching CNN play and replay video footage of floating corpses, fleeing villagers, surging waters engulfing resorts.. one scene was particularly disturbing. It showed a poster saying "Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2005" in the background and in the foreground was an overturned SUV.

I've a lot of mixed feelings right now, this is so so so unfortunate to all the people affected. I was listening to 93.3FM and the DJ if I'm not wrong was Liyi. I don't mean to be rude but I thought she said a really.. dumb comment. She was saying that year-ends are unlucky and such.. with this happening just before the New Year and.. Anita Mui's death around this time last year.

Why on Earth is she comparing a fricking NATURAL DISASTER with the death of a famous celebrity? There are at least 18,000 people dead in Sri Lanka .. this shouldn't be compared to Anita Mui's death in the first place which I believe was from cancer or some chronic disease. (Co-incidentally, prima donna #1 was saying year-ends are very suay because SQ-006 accident occurred during this period of time too.. which makes 12903789057120938 times more sense!)

Its tough being a DJ when you don't think deep enough. (shallow?)

That's all for this post! Tired from work!

www.patchnow.net

Before you actually go to the above link out of curiosity, please read on.

I've just re-installed my desktop PC from scratch and I'm using MSN 7.0 which is a beta version. So I just got this popup box which looks terribly legitimate and tells me that I have a critical security vulnerability which I must patch immediately. The only exception is that you are using WinME.

Anyway I'm 99% sure that if you install the "security patches" from that site, your computer will surely be installed with a backdoor/keylogger/bug/worm/parasite/virus etc etc.

Searched for info about this site on google and yahoo already but so far nothing about it. Which brings me to conclude .. DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FILES THERE PLS!!!

Expected results..

Just as expected actually, you reap what you sow. I also don't know how to plan my modules from here on.. but I got 2 takeaways already.

Now I don't even know if I can finish the degree in 3 years.. next sem definitely 6 modules already. Thought of quitting school at times but that would degrade me to a mere A level holder which is useless if I want to find a decent job.
I'll keep thinking.. :(

Stupid day..

Had to work like mad today basically, drove from home to Beach road, to Katong, to Geylang, Geylang East, Bedok, Beach Roach, home, Katong, Beach Road, Marine Terrace and finally home.

Its a fricking wonder I don't fall asleep on the drive home.

Listened to the world's 2 greatest prima donnas talk about how they wax and polish their car in the coffeeshop, not exactly my choice though.

On reaching home, helped dad to mow the useless rooftop lawn, after I plucked out the weeds for about an hour.

And the day ended off even worse..

Magic water??

Hehe.. my elder sis and me just applied some SK-II shen qi shui on our faces. My face being a little dry from being in an air con environment 24/7 on Sultan Shoal, certainly needs to be pom pom pom-ed with some ... I don't know what derivatives of yeast they put inside the SK-II thingy.

So I searched the most 'buang' part of my face which wasn't dry and I just applied it there. Which I decided was my forehead since my cheeks are very dry and the shen qi shui seems to be alcohol based. So that will only dry the skin further I thought.
Maybe tomorrow I will wake up with a perfect forehead.

Tomorrow I'll be going car shopping! yahoo!

Response to feedback

Hi 'anonymous' if you are reading this then.. er carry on?

Hmm first of all I'm not a Christian, whether you assumed or did not assume I was one in the first place. :)

2nd, er.. sometimes I think that common beings like us are incapable of containing too much pressure and workload and stress, that kind of stuff inside of us. So maybe I was just letting off some steam in that case by swearing at nobody in particular. Anyway I don't think I caused any offence and I'm sure none was taken! :p

Oh and if anyone could enlighten me, what's is the 'quote/verse/content' of Phil 4:13?

Alright cheers to all Christians and non-Christians out there!

Woo!

Finally a bit of academic excellence???

Dear GE1101E students,

Your names were forwarded to me by A/P Henry Yeung as having the best GE1101E Human Geography projects for Semester 1 (2004/05). I will be teaching the same module in the second semester, and am also the lecturer advisor for NUS Geographical Society.

The society is hoping to compile the best projects from select modules, with the intention to publish select pieces in Geosphere (the society's annual magazine) and other outlets. The essays could also be read by future students interested in understanding more about human geography.

If you are willing to have your paper published, could you send us a soft copy of the written project (with references and visuals)? Please direct your email to myself and the Geog Soc President (Kelvin Leong) and Hon. Gen. Secretary (Li Min) both cc-ed in this email. If you require further clarifications, please contact me.

With best regards, enjoy your vacation!
Dr TC Chang

Sigh.. can I use this .. 'recognition' to pull up my cap? Zzz or can put inside my resume?

omg, when I saw this photo I immediately recalled one of the lamest movies I ever watched, "ZOOLANDER". Oh yes.. this look is without a doubt.. "MAGNUM!" 

Sianz!

Humans are never contented.. like me for example. Its finally holidays but I have to work cos my poor dad is sick. He's been sick for 2 weeks already and I suspect he has been under constant siege from some weird unknown virus. That means I have to help him at work, or rather, REPLACE him at work.

FARRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKK. Ok that felt a wee wee bit better. Holidays = work.

Oh and I've got a whole new list of things to do!
In no particular order..

1. Repair laptop.
2. Repair TV.
3. Buy new hard disk.
4. Buy 4D because I finally got my first parking summons ($6)
5. Get new motherboard if I strike tomorrow/Sat/Sunday's 4D.
6. Get new monitor for the PC upstairs if I strike 4D.
7. Do the jigsaw puzzle. (Finishing might blind me)
8. Get a DVD Rom if I strike 4D.
9. Change my passport photo.
10. Return the Japanese books to Nick.
11. Change my specs frames.

The list is non-exhaustive.. haha

Congratulations and celebrations...

To Glenn Ong and Jamie Yeo? Cos they are getting married today! Yeah I'm tuning in to class 95fm now.

To me! Cos exams are over! In a few hours though.. zzz
