limpeh wong u already! don't get hurt!

Just wondering how long the karma boomerang takes to come back. It doesn't really do me much good in seeing bad guys getting punished, except the derivation of thrill in my belief of fairness.

Anyway, at this period of time, there is the aarontan's fail video and SMRT's fail trains. Together, it's this!







LOL! Gotta give credit to netizens. They are really creative. SMRT's smashed window + ryanxz gobangwall = ryan banging out of window in train. HAHAHA

Just when I was losing hope, a trip to Mustafa gave me instant levitation, with a halo as free gift.



O.O



ssa011j2!




66% of my expected price! How cool is that! But no warranty! But warranty is only for mechanism, and given seiko's trusted made-in-japan quality watches, mechanisms don't spoil so easily, so warranty is useless!

This watch has everything that I want! Automatic, sapphire scratch-free glass, good-looking, leather strap, within budget, roman numerals, date display, black, japan movement (actually as long as it's not china). Just 1 more day display and this will be perfect! But it's not really important anyway!

happpppyyyy :D:D:D time to scrimp and save. 说到省省省省,哥哥最棒!

So, driving seems easier and easier alr! But I still feel nervous every time I'm driving and a bit reluctant to go for each lesson :( half-clutch move is an ass.

First time try on listening to music while jogging! WHOA! Jogging becomes less boring now woot! As of now my standard is 4x1.6km bp route. Gotta increase to 8x1.6km before my run!

That hairdresser told me I've got at least 3months before cutting that hairstyle that I want, and I still don't know if that will fit the shape of my head.. Then I thought of reservice->short hair. Wa.. Wait 3months only for it to be shaved again during reservice, then I need to wait again! zzzz nvm, it's worth a try. You can't expect an old 40year old uncle to go out with a stylish hair right?

-----

TUITION! FOUND 2! LOL! 2 x O level students. I love O level math cos it's sooooo easy and I don't need to prepare anything at all. $_$ 请多多指教,照顾一下我的钱包!

Hopefully under my guidance, they can get A's for their exams.

-----

Nearing the end of 2011.. I'm looking forward to clar's xmas party, boon's male fiesta, mind-boggling(I typed mind-boggling and then eh? my mind can blog?) megazip, the supposedly-long-awaited 01 chalet, wedding dinner at st.regis 7star hotel, seafood buffet. Oh my god. All these are happening from tmr onwards!? Even my mother also starts to nag me 哇你不要整天出去hor!

That also means all my $$ are gone now..

Then the stupid recruitment agencies cannot match jobs properly one. *TEMP ADMIN JOB $7-9 WEST O/A/ORD PERSONNEL WELCOME TO APPLY! LOTS OF VACANCIES* the advertisements are somewhat like that at jobscentral, but after I sent my resume with my expected salary "$7.50/hr", people still call me "Hi, may I speak to weijian? May I ask if you are still looking for a job? Okay I got an admin job for you and it's near your house. (ohhhh nice nice nice) It's $6.50 per hour."

O_O?! $7-9 becomes $6.50. What shit is this man. Give false info!? Seriously?! Not 1 or 2leh, almost everyone who called told me that.

That's why I still haven't found a job with office hours and at least $7/hr that is near my house. Got some already submitted luh but no news of me getting shortlisted for interview.

Most of the jobs also have this: *accounts assistant required! min 1 or 2 years of exp!* -.-" How am I supposed to gain experience before I start working? They need experienced workers but people can only gain experience when they work. How? Going round and round in circles and finally the dog caught its own tail?

Just give me a job already..

美人计

It's something that doesn't work for the faithful ones.

I don't understand why some people can change their partners every now and then, just because they see another attractive person. I must be too traditional.

-----

After quarreling with my brother, of course I would be mad at him. But a few hours later, everything just goes away. That's a pretty good feeling. Brotherhood.

-----

Life has been normal lately. Seems like my desire for watch has simmered down. But that is mainly due to the forthcoming economic downturn in 2012. When that happens, exchange rate will change. My watch could be cheaper then ^^

Now I understand why uncles wear singlets at home: army. Bcos of army, many of us were half-naked or just wore a singlet in our admin time cos it's more cooling! I've been practicing my army habits at home now, but on the other hand, ISN'T THIS A TRANSFORMATION TO AN UNCLE?! O.O 30 years from now and I could be wearing a singlet at a kopitiam and crossing my 二郎腿while drinking a cup of kopi o gao. Not very surprising.

So, badminton on Tuesday, and badminton on Friday. Badminton is not fun when you play strokes for the whole game. People like me will slack and joke around. Therefore scores are important motivators.

Then we watched the 2nd best show, after winter's bone: east meets west.




zzzz I don't know why this movie was made in the first place..






It's really shit.

-----

I realised that it's possible to be early, even if there is no one forcing you to (eg: army). All you need is that extra effort to push yourself. Ever since I made that new year resolution to not be late, I kept getting late for outings. Never again. I'm not someone who gives excuses. I must be punctual next time.

-----

Some things comes with maturity and cannot be rushed. I was struggling to exert power on the ball in sec 2, but in sec 4, after a nice dream, I could spike properly. I was struggling to smack the feathery cock in sec 1, but in sec 3, after a long break in badminton, I could perform a smash. I was struggling to do pull-ups, but one fine day in army, I did my first ever no-cheat-very-honest pull-up. I was hoping my sincerity and modesty would help me in attracting someone from the opposite gender, but as days went by, in 201X, I..

All that happened out of the blue. So I thought the only factor is time and maturity. As I grew older, I found it easier to be more aggressive in games. Maybe when I am more mature, I will be holding hands.

-----

The rain these days kept disrupting my plans to run. A certain part of me was actually leaping for joy that I can't go run though. Project ppn continues, but maybe less intense now. I don't wish to grow bulkier anymore. That would mean protein powder, or a change in diet. I don't have the $$ to go for either one. Furthermore, after watching <<那些年,我们一起追的女孩〉〉 and this website http://www.feveravenue.com/a-females-perspective-the-singaporean-man-vs-af/
, I think size is not the top priority for girls.

So, maintaining is good enough for me, maybe add in a few runs to train for the upcoming half marathons in 2012!

我知道你我都没有错

everyday is saturday

Lost track of time.. everyday seems like saturday to me. Days after ORD are shiok.

Went for 2 more interviews with recruitment agencies (lame shit). They are really useless ppl. I saw one guy from NTU Business doing recruitment at recruit express at taka last or last last week. Siao, he got 4th class honours or what? Why need to do this kind of insecure job with shit pay? Anyway all the interviews are about filling forms, pairing u up with the jobs that they have on hand, and if u are not an immediate worker, they smile, shake ur hand, and ktnxbai.

1 of them, recruitexpress from JTC building, told me, "Wa your expected salary so high ah, even ppl with experience settle for $6 per hour only leh". But my friends got at least a 7! >:| I'm not china worker ok.

-----

Slacking at home could be really energising. Firstly I sleep at around 11 everyday, quite early. I wake up at around 9-10 everyday, don't know why I need to sleep for so long. Then it's refresh fb, play iphone game, lunch, refresh fb, afternoon nap, refresh fb, dinner, refresh fb, sleep again. Standard slacking. Sleep sleep sleep sleep. I nvr get tired of sleeping eh?

But the weird thing is I was quite tired this whole week. I don't feel like playing dota when I have nth to do. I'd rather sleep.

-----

Then on wed, badminton, table tennis, decoder's cafe!

Badminton was rather fail, bcos I warned of the stupid sports hall that allows glaring sunlight to enter and blind players' vision, yet we went ahead to play. Why are there no sports hall in central area?! Right, CBD, no need no sports.

Then table tennis.. 我要玩1v1, 不要2v2啦. Listen alr also dulan. Play solo sports to show off ur individual skills. Hello we are not in a competition here. Play 2v2 for fun only, and can allow more ppl to play, wan to show off then go nude in the public toilet and flash flash. What can I do? Just go along lor.

At decoder's cafe, the fun started to unfold. From 7 to 4 men. Seriously don't give face 1. Travel so far to Clementi for an outing, stay a while longer for the outing ma, aiya I also don't know what to say. But anyway it was super hilarious in the cafe. The games were not funny. We were! Acting like neighbourhood kids looool.

Another singing session with army frens. Funny also. I don't know why but I like to be a lil immature when I'm with the army clique. I miss dancing with jingx jerm and myron alr.. 01guys are too rigid.





Yes, the whole city is full of golden pigs. LOL! We need stuff like this to brighten up our days.

































post ord: these kids are too free.

There was one night when I went to clar's hse for mahjong. Played a lil of SF IV, then started the mahjong. yongchee started distributing the chips, ok, for better reflection of our standards? So the game began, with me only knowing how to 碰碰胡 and 平和, and not exactly know how to count 台. As usual, I joked around, lala, play this and that, on the move learning. An example is when I'm 莊, I told everyone to prepare to play 5 consecutive rounds, meaning I will win 5 rounds in a row. That came true, but all small wins by me! 1 of the rounds was an intentional draw lol. Then at the end of the game, we counted the chips, ah, blah blah, u won xxx, i lost xx, hahahahahaha. Then came the wallet.

O.O


I didn't know we were playing money! Luckily I lost $0 and won $0 in the end. I was shocked. Had I known, I would have played more seriously, or not played at all lol. I'm not a fan of gambling without special occasions..

-----

Driving has become much more enjoyable and simpler now... It's amazing. It's like learning dota for the first time, having the need to multi-task. But once u get the hang of it, multi-tasking is quite exhilarating.

there was one turn that was so steep and I was at 5th gear, so, I drifted instead of slowing down. Simple. Just tap brake slightly, clutch in fast, change gear, hard accelerate, steer. Voila, your car can go deliver tofus in Japan now!

Just joking, drift 个屁。Get fined, license get revoked, go jail ah.

-----


Yes, and thr's sth else. Watch! I've been spending a lot of time reading forums, checking out prices, functions etc of watches. Thanks again China, for screwing up everything in the world. Because of your cheap labour, everything is assembled in your country. The thing is prcs are unethical, unprofessional, dishonest an
d despicable. They will do anything to save money, such as using melamine as an ingredient. Because of this, I saved myself from buying Kenneth Cole watches.

What's left is a ssa011j2, and a spr005 from seiko. Still undecided whether I should spend the money on a watch, given the obliteration of the timekeeping function of watches now. It really is just an accessory.

So ghimsiang was standing on his point of view and giving me pointers. Some of his arguments are that one doesn't really use a watch: one only wears it; there are other items that I can buy to look good, like a pair of shoes, blazers, shirts, etc; and one might as well buy an expensive watch, or never buy a watch at all because mid-range watches are half-fucked. He suggested expensive fountain pens instead of watches as an
accessory bcos at least pens can be used and expensive ones can suit one's writing style with added comfort.

What I'm disappointed in myself is how weak I am. I cannot fight for my point of view on the spot. My points only start coming in later.

Anyway all that is rubbish to me, and I believe some of men's important items are watches and shoes. $_$ let me decide for 1 or 2 more weeks. Maybe this desire will be extinguished.

-----

One of the disadvantages of ORD is the huge drain on my wallet. So no more free food for me -> $ for meals. No more trainings to preoccupy my time -> $ for entertainment. No more tuition + allowance -> draw $ from reserves.


It's quite scary if I don't exercise some control on my expenditu
re..




Along with my army days, nokia 1202-2 has gone to the past. I will never forget my msges with u, my courage in u, and my lonely moments with u. U have served me well by never failing to function like a basic phone even though I dropped u hard a couple of times. Next time I see u will be the time when I tell stories about my army days..





I bet there will be a surge of emotions when I see nokia 1202-2 in the future. For now, HAIL IPHONE!

turn to your right, go run 2 rounds around the parade square!

seriously, tekan in the last week of army? haha, fun!

yes, this 阿兵哥退伍了!From boy to man.

I remembered that while marching, I felt this sour feeling in me and I was struggling to fight against my tears. Then came the slight drizzle to add a tinge of blue onto our faces, and that blueness sank all the way to our heart. The melancholic marching music beckoned nostalgia to loom before me as I reminisce the key events for the past 2years..

BMT
Standing before Ninja company with my duffle bag and waiting for my name to be called.
Falling in for the first time to the training shed to shave my head.
Scared of doing things the wrong way (for what, now I wonder..)
Khairi was really really scary..
Dying at the first 4km march
Lectures to slack in
Seemingly endless AGR
Worrying for my fitness
Heavily dependent on 01 outings to survive weekends

UNIT
Noob feeling
Lucky to stay near camp
Tattoos, cigarettes, vulgarities, slackers
Bonding
Going for field camps as routinely as the brushing of teeth
Slacking with friends and hoping not to get caught
Acting smart during NDP in front of civilian girls
Discussing a lot about girls
Going overseas for many days (Wallaby 1)
Understanding why one must be selfish, yet impressed by the selfless minority
Joking a lot more than usual
有福同享有难同当
Attained the pride of getting gold in IPPT
Field camps with civilian food
Tuition
Braces
Guard Duties
Understanding why the more committed you are, the more harm you do to yourself (Wallaby 2)
Free offs
ORD


One of the most regrettable things during army was my failure to get into command school. I blame my lack of understanding of the SAF system. Why was I so afraid of army then?? I forgot. I should have been more logical in thinking, that the worst punishment can only be guard duty, not death or whatsoever -.- That fear led to this..

But that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Being a man of Cougar company, I got to be on the receiving end, be it punishment or reward. Compared to commanders, I experienced stress in a much smaller extent. Believe me, it really sucks to be working with the mono, unless I was an officer. Had my sergeants not have this few bunch of selfless people, the whole of platoon 9 would either be quarreling or punished. Thanks noel watay jingyang sam amyas. Thanks kevin zhenghui jingxuan for being understanding enough to follow our friends to do saigang and suffer together. Thanks jeremy for always giving priority to platoon 9 when it comes to armskote. Love you all, and will miss you all. Sergeants and officers also don't get this kind of bonding amongst themselves. Lucky me eh?

I, Corporal Goh, salute myself in the mirror for getting through this shit, learning independence, life lessons, made new friends, and ORD safely! 吃的苦中苦,方为人上人!I sincerely hope that we will still get to meet up.

As proud as a lion, as loud as the colour pink, I screamed, "ORD LO!"
