Life's unpredictable.

Don't you just agree with my title?
Maybe you will later.

Anyway, I'm back from Malaysia. (Obvious isn't it? Hmm.)
Chinese New Year was great, just that i felt that we didn't stay at my maternal side long enough. It's always the case every year. :(
Ang bao lui decreased, probably due to the recession!
But parents' ang baos didn't! :D

Okay okay, pictures!!


Saturday

Arrived at my hometown and headed to my 大伯's shop for dinner.
He's a great chef yo!
Every year he cooks the nicest food for the family! :)

Yum yum! La la! (that's how its pronounced)
Sunday
Chinese New Year's Eve!
Reunion dinner at my 大伯's place this time round.
I like the feeling of a big family gathering together for dinner and then catching up with one another. :)
very obedient dog!

steamboat steamboat!


Headed home.
We had the traditional custom of offering prayers to the god and also my 阿公.


my 堂妹.

Monday
大年初一!
Woke up early to get ready for relatives to gather at Ah Ma's house!

cutie #1!

Went to someone's ( i ain't sure how am i related to them) house.


Gave me a shock when i saw this dog.

It doesn't look big in the picture but in real life it's fuckin big!
Like an adult tiger's size!

There's another very fierce dog kept enclosed at the back of the house, but i don't dare to go cos i heard it's damn fuckin fierce. :D
Buffet dinner at 大伯's place again!
But Msia banned the usage of fire crackers and even the long long 炮竹.
In addition, it has become a law that we have to fasten our seat belts for the rear seats there. But, i guess no one will really care. :P

Went to 二姑's house!
It's damn fuckin big. I forgot to take photos though.
I like to hang out in their karaoke room!
Can sing can eat can drink can chill.

And just look at the amount of alcohol they have.



Gambling! (abit blur i know.)

Tuesday
大年初二!
Arrived at my maternal's side around noon. Then all my relatives came to 外婆家!
Eat, gamble, chit-chat.
Then went to my 小姨家 at night for more gambling and chilling session!
cutie #2
He said his chest pocket too small for the angbao!
So cute! Hahaha.
cutie #3
Haha he's cute but abit too violent for his age.

trying to break the coconut with his bare hand!?
The 'kitchen' of a wooden house beside my 外婆家!

Very kampung feeling right?
Big contrast to the picture above?
I always pass by this mansion/house/chalet/whatever-you-name-it on the journey to my 外婆家.
We got stuck on the bridge connecting M'sia and Singapore for 1 & 1/2 hour today. It's one of the worst traffic jam i ever encountered. Even after getting our passports checked, another half an hour was spent inside the customs due to the traffic. -.-
Okay, the reason why i said life's unpredictable.
Here's the story...
There's this very cute little kitten near my 外婆家.
It's still very young and doesn't know how to survive yet. I don't know where it came from and where its parents are.
It kept meow-ing when we were having lunch. It seemed hungry so i decided to let it have some food.


It's so fuckin small that i can easily use a hand to carry it.
It's very friendly too. Not afraid of strangers at all.
I carried it away from a dog because it seemed pretty scared.
See how cute it is?

Okay, the point is, it was below my 小舅's car when they were about to leave my 外婆家. (at this point of time, i was at my Aunt's house already) He started the car engine and didn't know the cat was there. By right, the cat should have run away when it heard the engine.

But it didn't, and the car just ran over the cat . . .

It was only when a neighbour saw the cat and told my 小舅 when he realised.

The kitten didn't survive for long and passed away soon after.

When he told me the news, i was totally taken aback.
Even though it's just a few hours i was playing with the kitten, it's hard to accept the fact that someone or an animal that you've been interacting with awhile ago just died like that, isn't it?

I was still thinking if it would still be there the next year i return.

I felt rather emotional for awhile and remained speechless.

So, don't you agree that life's unpredictable?

I'm sorry to have ended this post on a sad note but i felt that i really have to blog about this.
What a long post, hope i didn't bore you with all this!

Enjoy your Chinese New Year people! Still have 11 days to 拜年! :)

Chinese New Year!

Returning to Malaysia for Chinese New Year and will be back on Wednesday i suppose?
So looking forward to eating all the delicacies man!
And damn, as expected, the Tuas Checkpoint is bloody packed like hell.
Hopefully will have enough memory space to take pictures! :D
Okay, miss me when I'm gone!
( hahaha who will even think about me during CNY? )
In the meanwhile, if you guys happen to visit my blog, do click on my Nuffnang ads!
I want to get my $50....
Okay, gotta go!
新年快乐!
Get more 'ang baos' !!

FINALLY! FOM PRESENTATION IS OVER!
A huge burden off my chest now. Okay maybe not, still got DBMS and Java project to go.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I think i kinda screwed my presentation.
And i happen to know that a 'someone' actually criticised me.
Hmm, constructive criticism or not? I don't know.
But i was thinking, maybe you could just write the marks and shut the f up.
Oh well, nobody to blame but myself.

I took a picture with Lebron.
Hard at work or ? Where's your left hand G.T?

Similarity?
Deepest apologies, team.
My own fatal mistake to be distracted.
But i still think the comments were unnecessary.

Chalet vs Bbq

I consulted Miss Wong on the chalet issue.
And from the conversation I discovered some facts...

dunnos - dark unknown nonreflective nondetectable object somewhere says: ok nid 360 meh
' Alex C. says: changi there got other chalets other than aloha?
need, if book chalet M, 1 day is 120.
dunnos - dark unknown nonreflective nondetectable object somewhere says: aloha is cheapest liao wah last time off peak 30
' Alex C. says: SERIOUS omg 4X the price man.
dunnos - dark unknown nonreflective nondetectable object somewhere says: ya la i gt book b4
'Alex C. says: did e recession hit SG so hard? lol.
dunnos - dark unknown nonreflective nondetectable object somewhere says: haha increase the price but the service nv improve

Wow, what a drastic increase in the price.
4 times, can you believe it, 4 times!
Argh why did the recession have to come this year?! :(
The chalet may have to be changed to a bbq.
Initially i was pretty against the idea cos i wanted to host a chalet so badly, but i figured i had no other choice and bbq sounds quite fun actually. :D
If im really gonna book a chalet, it may have to be a tight budget one.
Okay, please suggest.
Chalet or Bbq?

Monday, January 19, 2009

Now I realised, organising a chalet is really tedious.
Got to:
  • Pick a few dates
  • Invite people to confirm if they are free
  • Confirm dates when most people are able to come
  • Be price conscious(avoid peak and super peak periods)
  • Buy food
  • & many more!

Gosh! So troublesome damn it.

Gonna be so disappointing if there's no chalet...

Oh fuck gotta study for Accounting exam now. :/

Relieffffffffffff

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY LILY!!
Finally, this week's torment ended.
Average hours of sleep this week was about 4-5 hours. So tiredzxs.
I think I spent more hours in school than at home.
Today's CRS presentation wasn't that well done.
Really felt a burden off my chest after handing up the FOM 10-page report today.
Everything was so rushed, from printing to binding the report, and rushing to hand up the report before 5pm.

project fever
school violence.

some lame stuff we did.

Think i can relax now? Dream on! There's still FOM presentation, Java and DBMS projects. And Accounting exam next tues. 天啊!命真苦!

I don't live to please everyone, neither can i do it even if i want to. It's just not possible.

F*ckup

I decided to take time out to blog despite my hectic schedule.
Projects everyday and it's killing us and deadlines are nearing.
We all thought this sem would be more relaxed cos of lesser modules but we're god damn wrong. :(
I'm so looking forward to CNY and holidays now.
Fuck FOM's 10 page report.
Fuck Java - Batista(unknown spelling) pronounces my name as "Kiat Wei" and i understand not a single thing he's saying.
Fuck DBMS - I don't understand a single shit either.
Fuck Accounting - I can't catch up at all.
I don't talk to my parents more then 10 sentences during weekdays.
Alright end of complaints, some overdue pictures next.



i gave him warmth...heh.

always a time to relax during projects eh?
Lawrence had a fight with Yonglun.
He lost, and lost badly.

Shaggertiers Gif

Ultimate gayness. :)
Hope you have nightmares after reading! Hahahaha.
Time to get fucked by FOM report now!

SPRING CLEANING!

Hahaha i don't know why but i love the process of spring cleaning every year. I like to throw away old stuff which i don't need anymore. And making my room neat and tidy once again is a huge sense of achievement! :)
I believe everyone, during the process of spring cleaning, will come across some old stuff that they may have misplaced or were unaware it had been kept in some corner of your room for a very long time.
I found some old letters i received during my secondary school years. Mostly are from my ex-s.


Some are greeting cards and farewell cards!
Really brings back fond memories when we were still naive and pure.


I was reminded of my lower secondary school years.

They were considered to be the best years i had in my secondary school life. Life was much simpler then. Look how much has changed and how far apart we became.

Memories will always be memories.
Alright, gotta get back on doing my project. :

WHAT?!

My last post was Monday! I haven't update for like 5 days? Gosh. And to think i said i will update at night on my previous post hahahaha.
Anyway there wasn't much to be updated this few days too, just projects and stuff.
Oh wait, maybe there is!
Class photo-taking session on Monday! I didn't expect there was such a thing in poly still.

this was what i wore!

Then there is the SP Open House which started on Thursday! Oh my there was such a crowd! And lots of hot girls too ! :D


hahaha i couldn't resist taking this shot. :D
Played basketball (like finally!). Unleashed my desires already hahaha. And kinda sprained my thumb. -.-
I haven't had a more-than-6-hour sleep this week already. And hence i fell asleep at 2am, woke up at 3pm today! Woohoo! What a long 13-hour sleep i had, and full of dreams too.
Alright, gotta do my project! :)

Changed, again.

And so, i changed my blogskin for the 2nd time after changing this url.
Many of my friends have changed their blogskin too, for a new change in a new year perhaps?
Minimalism became the new trend, Lawrence claimed he's the trendsetter.
Hmm...........................................What a convincing statement. :D
I'm in class now, shall blog at night!

Virgin Post ' 09

First of all,
HAPPPY MERRY NEW 2oo9 TO EVERYONE!
THIS IS MY FIRST POST OF THE YEAR!!
AND THIS IS MY NEW BLOG URL!!!

Alright, my new year eve was spent at Calvin's family bbq. Decided to do something different from what i usually do the past few years. :)

It wasn't that bad but if Zhixiong was there it would have been perfect. :) A pity he had plans for himself.

And i must say the otahs damn nice lah!

i like this sweet and not so alcoholic drink.

gays of the day!

when it striked 12!


"HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!"
I decided to start packing my wardrobe yesterday, and my nose got so allergic to the dust that i couldn't stop sneezing till now. Gosh. I forgot to take photos of my wardrobe before i started to arrange my clothes, so cannot compare the difference. But, at least it looks quite neat to me now! :)


Gotta throw away lots of old stuff man!
First school day of 2oo9 was good!
I tried to be a better person! Hahaha.
Went to Wheelock Place's Starbucks for FOM project today, it's quite a nice place to chill and just sit down for a drink with your friends. Whereas when it comes to doing projects, it's not exactly a conducive environment due to the noise level and unstable internet connection. And a whole lot of Caucasians frequent this place!
drink of the day: Caramel Frappe
Before i forget, i was struggling for a few nights thinking of a new url for my blog and asking friends for suggestions. I decided to be decisive and make my own choice without asking if it's suitable or not. What matters is i like it or not!
Alright, goodnight people and enjoy your weekend! :)
