Because i am like damn bored, I shall attempt to re-vitalise this blog of mine..... 

 Well, actually i dun really have much emotional attachment to this blog. Nothing here is really that important. If it were to be hacked, it would not have the kind of impact that the xiaxue girl feels.... but just because i am so sick of flipping recruit and sending out resumes and trying to smoke my ass through with disgusting cover letters, i shall just divert a bit of my attention back to this "cyber-realm" that has been abandoned.

For those who dunno, Initial D the movie is out. and it is not that good as i expected it to be. Maybe i watched the anime series b4 the movie and i was expecting more stuff. I din like the female lead. She looked fat and i dunno in what way she looks like mogi in the cartoon. I wanted to cringe everytime the love scenes between her and jay chou started. I felt like some 1960s black and white movie.

Recently I think my driving skills have improved quite a bit. Much thanks to my dad who is overseas now, and i can use the car as much as I want. Kayu-driver no more ok!!!

I still miss YEP. It was so fun. No words can describe how I feel about the whole thing. Not when I was there, not now, not ever. Fresh may be an appropriate word, since it was really an experience that made me see and feel a lot of things i din know existed, or never imagined myself doing. If I had a chance, would i want to go back to the homestay period where I really stayed in the most primitive of conditions? Bamboo houses and meals cooked with firewood. Bathing at the well everyday with a lot of curious looks from the villagers. Ok although that village had electricity (and my house had a TV and VCD player even), the kind of life that they led was still so different from mine now. Computer in front of me with nice broadband, I turn around and i touch my handphone, I walk out and I have hot and cold water, a nice fridge with ice-cream inside (hmm, I shall eat one later i think), a nice fan in the living room, DVD player, big TV, and many many many objects of affluence. I dun have air-con by the way!!! and sometimes i really wished i had one though. whatever.

I wonder if we actually fetch the thai villagers over to Singapore and ask them to stay with us for a week ah, I dunno how they will feel leh. Will they feel the same amount of shock I had when i first stepped into their house? same amount maybe, but probably a shock of a different kind. Mine was shock of how basic their house is. Theirs will probably be shock of how complicated my house is.

Rezal and me used to tok all kinds of cock when we were staying in the house. We used to imagine that the villagers could understand english and could understand every single word of what we were saying. But they were all just acting blur and speaking in thai non-stop. And when we left for work every morning, they would all leave half an hour later and go to their nice condo situated somewhere near and nua cos the NGO pays them to act as poor villagers to entertain stupid Singaporeans who tink they are here to experience life. Sekali they are all professional actors and are highly paid to act as villagers. ok stupid thought. Maybe the world is a reality show again. yep.

Have a cover letter to type now.

ciao and hope i be back soon. 

Just went for a jog in the depths of the night. Its my second run ever since a super long lay-off from exercise, all thanks to food poisoning and extreme nausea. I think the last time i did anything streneous was when i was still in Thailand playing frisbee and badminton with the kids. Sounds like almost a 2 months break. Fortunately, i cleared my usual 2.8km route in around 14:30, which is actually 1.5 mins faster than my usual slow timing. Looks like an improvement. Am hoping I wun suffer the repercusion of this jog, ie, muscle ache.

 Booked my IPPT on 20th August. Am hoping to be in proper shape by then to take the test. Need to clear that running route around my house in much faster time by the next 3 weeks. Realise that plugging into mp3 player during a run can really help a lot. Takes your mind off the panting and stuff. To be frank, I dun feel much fatigue cos its kinda a short route. Looks like my cardio-vascular fitness needs some building up.

As I was running, I passed by a hell lot of construction sites. Never remembered my area had so much construction going on b4...... all thanks the that nice little condo called varsity park that they are building. What got me worried though, was the possibilty of dogs coming out of nowhere to chase me. Those who know me know i am scared of mad dogs. And construction sites happen to be places that are infested with stray dogs who dun understand the simple logic of if I dun provoke u, dun farking bark or even touch me.  

realised that my estate hasnt changed a lot as I walked through it today. All that hoo-haa abt upgrading and changing the Singapore housing landscape never really got to us. But guess what, the long wait is finally over!!! My dear S.Iswaran has finally plucked up all the courage he has to ask the bloody gahmen to give us a good little upgrading. When i saw the letter being sent to my house, I suddenly felt a little happy for no reason. I mean even though its common knowledge that if want to have MUP, the LUP program will require residents to pay. But i think its good money spent. your house value will increase some more, not that bad la. And with that, my mum has suddenly come out with the wonderful idea of renovating the house during the MUP. In that case, want to noisy, might as well noisy together...  I would love a renovation. I mean who doesnt like a nicer place to stay in? But all the inconveniences involved will be huge. Given the amount of junk in my house, I dunno how we are going to cope with moving all the things around. Oh well it all remains to be seen. I suddenly feel quite fortunate. That at least I have a family that is able to afford a renovation, something some pple never even dream about.

I was browsing some website abt car prices in Singapore just now. Actually, buying a car is incredible expensive in Singapore. And I dun even have huge aspirations like some nice Audi or BMW. All I want is a simple Toyota vios or maybe a Hyundai Getz. But I realise that even with these low end cars, the loan will be quite bad already. Not to mention all the parking fees, petrol fees, taxes, insurance, expenses for parts and maintainance etc etc.... it can easily come up to 1000 a month. Now, 1000 is a hefty sum seriously. haizzz..... its not easy to own a car in Singapore. But why do so many pple still buy and buy like nobody's business??? Then buy until our roads forever so congested, make the gahmen have to come up with some ERP thing to suck u dry more.... its all a bloody vicious cycle man.... let u buy car cheap, then make u pay lots of money to maintain and use the car...... make u broke, then u go take loan, and pay more interest..... then in the end everything also installments, buy microwave also installment, buy condom next time sekali also use installment liao. Ok i'm not trying to sound like rockson takumi tan but i admit he is rubbing off on me a little.

Sucks man. Especially when I havent even earned my first paycheck and I am complaining abt life in future liao..... haizzzz
