who else skips around happily and sillily?
First week after I'm liberated from that mundane job and shiok!! Super enjoyment! Nua at home and read book, laze around, napped a lot a lot of times to deserve "piggy", feel great the whole day. But I haven't gotten used to waking up early for morning activities haha. Life's good!
Btw the weather is so hot these days.. I nearly wanted to go shopping without my clothes on. Just joking, but it's really hot.
Short catch-up with army dudes. Okay, it's a crash by jingx and me into the FPL gang's lunch. Tsk watay for always excluding us, for always pushing me away when I wanted to learn more about soccer -.-" desperate guys in orientation camps hmm.. How shag will such camps be? Shall find out..
And who else goes Taiwan 2 times in 3months?? Me! At least this time I'll be visiting a lot of places, not just night markets. Hi there food, do you miss me? Me and my bros.. we're gonna envelop you with our stomachs! (especially my bro) I think it's going to be a tiring trip as well.. Luckily I have no more job to worry about hehehe. Life's really good . Just wondering what will happen when there's typhoon and earthquake in taiwan..
Grateful for what I've read and felt. It's just.. me and my drama-tic imaginations. Ah, what a noob I am. On the other hand, that kid is smiling away.. jubilantly.. :) now we know awesome and heartfelt hahahaha. Here comes someone so sweet, one wouldn't want to let go. I won't.
Stay motivated :)

copper, the preferred material
steel too
So! No more work!! Bye bye NCS!! Bye bye aunties. And bye bye to roti prata and $1k per month :( A bit sad that I won't get an additional $1k before school starts though. But after much consideration, I feel that nua is more important. No more nua when school starts. This is a rare period when I have no worries.. just like after ORD. Must cherish!
And I get to sleep and laze around every morning hehehe.
One of the most important things I learnt at work is... sign language! How important verbal expression is.. really! Some people just come to me and start to point to their card case or give me some weird facial expression without saying anything. Tsk. Luckily I got used to it. Just a simple "Hi can I request for a new card case?", yet so hard to construct huh.
Gossips really bond people together, as long as your gossips don't go too far, and contain mostly facts.

Hi there cckstadium! Hope to get more income from you! That will require a stricter time management.. What to do? I need to sustain my spending :p 2.75hrs lesser each week, tahan okay?
The intensity of dont mind is always lesser than want.
-----
Had a short singing session with vballers at marsiling cc. 6 guys 3hrs. hmm. Not enough but at least can meet up. Raymond was as funny as ever. Lame guys. Hahahaha.
Went to 10milejunction aka junction 10 now. There was a shop called porn's, sounds horny so we went to eat. No la, don't know why they chose to go there. The food was so expensive! To me la. Because the dishes that they have are all common Thai dishes, shouldn't anyhow inflate the price. I ordered some mama dish, forgot the name.
It was all spice + maggi mee + msg. Not too bad, at least the taste was unique. But overpriced yes.
The service there was poor. Asked for a refill of water but it never came. Tf's drink didnt come also. And we asked for it twice. Our green curry also didn't come. Wts?! Cancelled everything and asked for bill instead. Save money. Ray and tf were complaining that the water tasted like detergent, but the rest just shrugged our shoulders. Turns out...
The water was indeed lemon detergent flavoured!

Pornsak was holding a mama lemon detergent outside the stall. o.O

Just joking, but it was quite a funny coincidence.

Drove to msia again. My 3rd time through the causeway but every trip to msia brought me new experiences... I learnt that one should do research/read and understand the sign boards carefully before driving off fast in msia. 1 wrong turn and boom, there you go. Very few U-turns in msia. I was so worried that I might end up at KL just because of 1 wrong turn. But nope, not so easy to reach there dumb boy.

I like how "confused" was used. Hahahaha. Hope I've managed to brighten some otherwise dull days! MIB was ridiculously lame hahaha. MIB has always been lame. Laughing at how some of the funny things can apply to us. Imagine a lame person walking down a long road... How unimaginable. Add in another lame one and everything fits :)
yes, more exposure is needed! Glad we broke the ice, makes things easier next time. Reminds me that I still don't know how to survive in a car on my own -.-" Kinda sad that my voice isn't that pleasant to hear but oh well, what to do?hahaha. Anyhow la! Was and am rather worried about that. will things change in the future? Especially during one's down time, another can just strike while the iron's hot and... Ah. I know my worry is acknowledged. But look at the plethora of english fishes out there.. Nevertheless, relying on faith in us. My chain is tight, and will be held forever. Not giving in to anything or anyone who crosses my path. Just think of naked orchard road run :)
honoy's honoy! hope baabaa will be obedient
Awesome and heartfelt. if you know.. a certain je ne sais quoi such that "sweet" would be an understatement

I guess I'll need to learn and adapt. It should enhance, not rule, or so they said. I need to stop this overpopulation of koala in me.

it's a wonder why ants aren't crawling up you
so sweet?!
So one of my aunties was on leave this whole week, and I only got 1 aunty to work with. Quite good because now that I'm familiar with the system, I slack when there's no work, but still manage to show my efficiency and capabilities in completing my tasks. Sounds good eh? Just simple mundane tasks la -.-" If I were a boss, I'd increase the pays of the 2 aunties instead of employing a temp staff. But then it would mean a permanent increase in their pays? Pay increment-> slightly happy. Pay cut-> very very unhappy. Oh well, seems like it won't work too.
And by slack, I do this:
listening to music, eating kinder bueno, drinking lipton lemon tea, playing sudoku.
But of course that shiok feeling only lasted for a while; my kinder bueno was gone in a flash. And the stupid ceaseless number of phone calls that I had to answer... Luckily I'm not a call centre customer service officer. I might go crazy from the all that ringing.
If I extend my time with NCS, I could get an additional $1k? Sounds quite good for a student who spends a lot eh? But no. I feel that I need some time off. Shall spend lesser and find some odd jobs in between.
棒钢hahahaha. I dont know why I found it so hard to resist smiling at this. Perhaps it fits the silliness.
-----
One random phone call came and my mind ran wild. Small faint nodule. Wts is that?! Can't help but think of someone. If really something happens like in some of the scenarios in dramas.. what will follow? A seemingly fine guy struck by something unseen. Not impossible, given that I've been hospitalised for some unknown viral attack before. As much as I want to hold on to that chain, I fear the worst. Oh well, sorry for thinking too much. Shall leave everything till june. Glad to have steel support :) gonna stick hard so that no hair will grow :p
-----
Hi I'm tira. hahahahaha. Sweet effort! Cream + frozen tiramisu that tasted like icecream not bad! I just had to imagine the 2 fingers haha. My baabaa has been captured. Please do treat my baabaa well :) Looking forward to more. Really, one might want to seek excitement from rollercoaster rides, from skyjumps, etc.. but doing anything, however boring it might seem, with the right person just automatically made it interesting tenfold. Finally been to that place where I have always been looking at while tutoring. Rather than "spoilt", I see it as a postponement to a greater time. Sorry for being unable to cure that injury! I hope to be a dependable pillar.
It's so hard to catch, yet I caught it in the pond :) lame I know~ mmm, 我喜欢啊！
Nothing. Nothing brightens me up more.

2.4km was a killer -.-" Nvm I shall use the free time after 22june to train up and get my free money for a lovely treat :)

muahchee no1 and muahchee no2 nua together
Shit, I forgot some of the things that might have happened.
Trying to conquer this lky book The Singapore Story. Quite interesting, but it gets boring at the political parts because I dont understand the chim political jargon. The Jap occupation infuriates me. Reminds me of the rape of nanking book, of which I had only read 1 chapter and I couldn't continue already. Maybe some day I'll go read finish that book. But why should I make myself upset for nothing lolol. See how la. Anyway lky just seemed to be too smart to treat commoners equally, from the way he described people.
-----
Back at work, lalala. The HR decided to overhaul the recruitment system and make Mondays especially busy -.-" 40 new hires standing in a small 10m x 5m space waiting for their photos to be shot and passes to be made. Wts. And not everyone of them will be polite with you, even though it's his/her first day. Some people just like to be grumpy and give a cocacolaly black face. Very stressful man. Sad for the 2 aunties whom will be doing my important task of making passes hyahyahya. Dont care, not gonna extend anymore! Maybe find some odd jobs like juggling along the streets or go abercrombie and fitch to sweep the floor.
-----
Went for NTU medical examination and I sweated like mad thanks to the weather! Okay, I had a hard time orientating myself to the buildings there, and that feeling probably made me sweat even more. Very energy-consuming when I go to a new place with many new people. Luckily I made it on time to be the last guy for the check-up. Heng ah. There were a lot of people in the clinic, so I needed energy to adapt again. Tsk. Why am I so poor with people. After the check-up, I had to find my way out again. This time, using starhub 3G would take too much time, so I decided to ask some aunty there and got out pretty quickly hehehe.
School will start in a few months' time! ._. no idea how it'll be like with my dumbness, but I hope my brain starts working soon? Please start your engine!!
-----
That PRC ferrari incident was scary. Poor victims. For 1st yr drivers like me, I got to be more careful. Even if I try my best to do my part, others still can spoil everything. So it kinda works both ways. You can drive well but you cannot assume others will drive well too. Still trying hard to recognise the roads.
So I drove my family to 瑞春 for dimsum supper. Expensive but tasty -.-" Need to find some other places with good and cheap dimsum soon. Once an eatery gets famous and starts to jack up the prices, you know it's time to move on.
-----
The long-awaited movie!!! The avengers!! ahhhh. Waited for so long. Marvelous companion for a marveling at the marvelous marvel movie :)) hi there capt america! Why you so lousy tsktsk. But I still like hahaha. I will prove it.
And then it's fondue again before nua session! A bit awkward, but hehehe, hope it tastes alright. Looking forward to ring2! Okay not really looking forward to the movie, but I think you are thinking what I am thinking hahaha.
awesome :) can't wait la! baabaa. we.

bieber wang
don't tell you what it means! okay you probably know also :p
hihihi jane. free subscription for you!
Okay so I went for a 7 days route march with 11 guys, all bpians. but be warned, this is a super long photo post that might turn your mac into kfc, or burgerking :p
sunrise on the plane. I think sunrise catchers will feel sleepy, but will also be filled with the hopefulness that seems to dawn on the earth. some day, that promise will come true.
the best food of the day is 蛋饼. the rest.. err. hmm. at least they are cheap haha.
One good thing about wearing specs is that it makes the panda eyes seem less visible. I was totally a zombie then.
went to 阿毛's for lunch and this poor dog was leased at the entrance. I don't know what's so famous about this stall because the food wasn't nice and the dog seemed to be suffering from space constraint and indifferent to the likes of tourists. Poor dog. A place where swusan wouldn't patronize :p
then we split into 2 groups and wandered around the early ximending. too bad they have a lame guy in this group, giving stupid ideas. that is not ahbugek HAHA!
night of ximending. Looks exciting but actually nothing much because the things there are not cheap.
And I tried this thing, smallest portion ->50twd->2.2sgd. tasteless thing in spicy sauce that requires sucking. only choonboon zuokun and clar tried this with me, the rest didn't dare to haha. ok la, didn't finish then threw away alr, cos I don't "suck" :p reminds me of someone who agreed to try this kind of food with me next time?
-----
yup, taiwanese stick to the right! And they're a lot more courteous than singaporeans!! I attribute that to the haughtiness of singaporean aunties and uncles. Reminds me of a silly incident too :)
I like these kind of housing units because they seem very characteristic of Taiwan to me. Some how they gave me a fuzzy feeling of asian homely cosiness.
On the third day I got rather fed up that I always don't know where I am going and leaving it to tf kun boon chee. I guessed I seemed irritating that I kept asking, and my get-dao-aura was quite prevalent too. It's very apparent that the group was always split into 2 sections: the basher and the followers. What to do? Take a photo of the mrt map and start joining in the lead. Though there were still many occasions when I just followed and ended up no where but my energy was completely depleted. One of the disadvantages of having a big group: miscommunication. One of the advantages: a noisy crap-filled bunch of guys just makes things seem fun
So we went to visit the museum! And got trolled real bad. We went there on Monday you see. And it was raining heavily. In fact there was not a single day when it didn't rain in Taipei.
The famous 士林夜市! Err no, it was undergoing makeover and renovation now. So this is the makeshift version. Got to say I didn't really like the 炭烤鸡排 cos it was sweet -.-" disappointment from all the "aiya don't need to eat 鸡排 here now cos shilin's will be the best!" during the last 2 days, but supposedly the best brand "hot star". Found one Hot Star at Nex (a few days later)!
臭豆腐 tryout! A must isn't it? This doesn't smell that bad to me haha. And, sorry I can't really tell the difference betw 炸豆腐 and 臭豆腐. I just like to see how others cringe while eating :p who dares to eat with me!? >:)
-----
Went to taipei 101, nothing much, it's like the top level of ION orchard, flooded with branded goods, but felt very tired from the walking. And the rain.. So we decided to go to another night market, which turned out to be ulu. While the rest were looking out for their shoes, me raymond and benjamin listened and sang 新不了情 that was played in the shop like nobody's business. Might as well take a photo haha.
Back to ximending for dinner and had another fail try. Seriously, my attempts to "try" food always end up as failures. 麻酱面 super salty. Maybe that's why people rarely trust my decisions..
The night seemed young. What to do? Take photo first :)
Because we've been singing a lot these days while walking, we decided to visit the 10+ storeys high partyworld ktv. Super worth it. $10, room toilet, free flow water, 800 worth of food/beverages to be ordered (in the $10), spacious room, 1030-5. Disadvantages? slight smell of cigarette smoke, presence of mosquitoes (some how disappeared in the middle of the night, or maybe they found a really delicious guy to feast on and ignored me), and no hanyupinyin function.
-----
then the next day, yeliu! don't know how to write the name ps. And the rocks there look disgusting. Goosebumps. Choonboon was telling me how much jane would dislike this place.
so many shrooms rocks
At night, we went to another night market, dunno what name again. We had our facepalm 鸡排, tastes so great, you feel like facepalming yourself with the 鸡排! okay actually there are big 3 points to facepalm. 1.we saw them cut the chix. by right our impression of taiwan 鸡排 is that they don't cut the chix, diff from sg. 2.there was a stall just beside it that sold 鸡排 too but we failed to notice, and the price is cheaper. 3.the girl was frying a 鸡排 and we thought it was for us, then she started eating it. Fun with ray and boon hahaha.
-----
early in the morning without boon at our favourite family mart. what to do? hahaha. really sorry.
and we went to the zoo.So you might ask what the difference between a Singapore zoo and a taipei zoo. Not much actually. But we do get closer to the animals. Amazing how the tiger in sg is so far apart from tourists, yet ppl die, but the tiger in taipei zoo is only a glass pane away but no one died. So, nothing much to capture, except maybe butterflies that could be one of the reasons why raymond fell sick later.
future 台妹! So fascinated with butterflies.
-----
The next day, some of them chose to slack in hotel, so only 6 survivors for exploration. Went to 淡水 and the scenery was pretty good!!
At night, the elephant mountain. Climbed like mad, along with a raymond who's not feeling well, only for rain to pour all over us and force us to descend. Some of us were wearing new apparels bought in Taiwan some more. Soaked from top to toe and I felt a lil sick at night :( That didn't stop me from visiting the night club after that haha. But urgh. Smoky sleazy poor katy perry music. But it really is a place where "i want to touch" and "i want to get touched" meet, like a fair place for transaction. Sorry but I think of my gf and this is what I did:
going along with my slight sickness and acted uncomfortable, so went out to chill with benjamin, who also didn't like it. hehe.
-----
last day in taiwan, but just can't resist myself from buying a bowl of 阿宗面线, which I said was ghim's wife and everyone agreed ah hahaha. Sad that they have to break up on this day.
Overall a nice experience in Taiwan, led by vballers, accompanied with vballers. It's an awesome feeling to visit new places of different cultures. Looking forward to the promised frying session :)
-----
The very next day, I went to run 21km. x.x Of course I didn't have enough rest! Still slightly sick pls. I wanted to run, and I just couldn't bear to collapse for fear that others' heart might break. So I ran slowly, and completed it hehehe. A new experience I must say, that my leg actually tightened up so much at 16km, that I had to drag my whole body to 21km, plus my insistent refusal to walk. Kudos to jeremy the olympian for zooming through it like a breeze :)
Yes, sorry, I decided I'm not gonna run more than 10km next time thanks. hahahaha.
-----
Went to kushinbo to celebrate yongchee's belated birthday! Expensive ahhhh. Ate like 20 fresh prawns and 4 alaska crab legs haha. What a hassle to eat the alaska crabs. And there, all of us caught a glimpse of our future uncle bodies. Present later yongchee!
-----
Back at work, my email inbox was flooded. 80+ unread messages. Had to spend 3 days to clear up every single email and follow-up all the shits. That's work life for everyone I guess. You can't go on a holiday in peace. And you can't go on a holiday with your colleague either, because he/she will have to cover up for you while you're on leave. He/she might even curse you for dumping them the work and going off for enjoyment. Just joking, my aunties are very nice people :)) It's just a sad fact. How I admire those companies that organise work holiday vacation so that no one is compromised!!
-----
Maybe the average rate is 70. Some 100. But mine shot up to 200 at least, I'm sure.still can't believe but am extremely elated. *skips around happily like jane.
there is just one kind of silliness that has the power to move me.

the song that vballers kept singing in taiwan:
再给我两分钟
让我把记忆结成冰

because that is the last thing I will want to forget.

sunrise on the plane. I think sunrise catchers will feel sleepy, but will also be filled with the hopefulness that seems to dawn on the earth. some day, that promise will come true.
first day along the streets of ximending. Yes, that's how ximending looks like. This x 99999 identical buildings and t-junctions.
the best food of the day is 蛋饼. the rest.. err. hmm. at least they are cheap haha.
jetstar mid-night flight caused us to reach there at 7am. But the streets only start business at 11am. And the hotel is only available for check-in at 3pm. So we were forced to kill time from 7-3. z.z zombies roaming the 3 storey starbucks.
One good thing about wearing specs is that it makes the panda eyes seem less visible. I was totally a zombie then.
went to 阿毛's for lunch and this poor dog was leased at the entrance. I don't know what's so famous about this stall because the food wasn't nice and the dog seemed to be suffering from space constraint and indifferent to the likes of tourists. Poor dog. A place where swusan wouldn't patronize :p

That's the 3men bed with boon ghim and me. Not unexpected for 3 01 guys to be sleeping tgt haha. squeezy but I didn't mind at all cos it was good enough.
-----
yup, taiwanese stick to the right! And they're a lot more courteous than singaporeans!! I attribute that to the haughtiness of singaporean aunties and uncles. Reminds me of a silly incident too :)
and they queue in a straight line, and wait for the next train if it becomes too full. Singaporeans? chiong ahhhh!! form U shape and start to engulf the entire entrance and start squeezing.
I like these kind of housing units because they seem very characteristic of Taiwan to me. Some how they gave me a fuzzy feeling of asian homely cosiness.
Oh this place is in 乌来. We visited the suspension bridge and then it's photo time. Hair? Heck.
heck hair, really. zuokun + shades = cool. and chee + wind = dragonball z.
group shot by the water! Got the 八仙过海 feel, no? Went to the hot spring after this. No photos sorry blehhhh. And the hot spring was just hot water -.-" I want natural hot spring! Got quite giddy after dipping myself into the hot water for some time, which should be a normal phenomenon. Some how it forced my lethargy to come out; I felt like sleeping after that.
-----
On the third day I got rather fed up that I always don't know where I am going and leaving it to tf kun boon chee. I guessed I seemed irritating that I kept asking, and my get-dao-aura was quite prevalent too. It's very apparent that the group was always split into 2 sections: the basher and the followers. What to do? Take a photo of the mrt map and start joining in the lead. Though there were still many occasions when I just followed and ended up no where but my energy was completely depleted. One of the disadvantages of having a big group: miscommunication. One of the advantages: a noisy crap-filled bunch of guys just makes things seem fun
after visiting some cks cultural site, we went for lunch. a i-forgot-what restaurant there that costs only about $10 with free-flow rice and soup. Worth it compared to sg.
So we went to visit the museum! And got trolled real bad. We went there on Monday you see. And it was raining heavily. In fact there was not a single day when it didn't rain in Taipei.
as you can see from vballers' sad expression. Actually I don't think the museum will have anything much to look at, since I didn't even visit Singapore's? hahaha. Regardless of that, take photo first!!
either I didn't really know zuokun or I think zuokun is getting more and more funny hahaha. Look at his expression. I think his lameness will click quite well with me hahaha. But too bad, clique formed, hard to step out of each of our comfort zone. And also, the unnoticed mirror image by benjamin and me.
The famous 士林夜市! Err no, it was undergoing makeover and renovation now. So this is the makeshift version. Got to say I didn't really like the 炭烤鸡排 cos it was sweet -.-" disappointment from all the "aiya don't need to eat 鸡排 here now cos shilin's will be the best!" during the last 2 days, but supposedly the best brand "hot star". Found one Hot Star at Nex (a few days later)!
蠔煎! very different from sg's bcos it has lots of flour and they spammed the oyster like it's free and it's inexpensive. But I prefer sg's crispy version!! bukit timah~
臭豆腐 tryout! A must isn't it? This doesn't smell that bad to me haha. And, sorry I can't really tell the difference betw 炸豆腐 and 臭豆腐. I just like to see how others cringe while eating :p who dares to eat with me!? >:)
-----
Went to taipei 101, nothing much, it's like the top level of ION orchard, flooded with branded goods, but felt very tired from the walking. And the rain.. So we decided to go to another night market, which turned out to be ulu. While the rest were looking out for their shoes, me raymond and benjamin listened and sang 新不了情 that was played in the shop like nobody's business. Might as well take a photo haha.
Back to ximending for dinner and had another fail try. Seriously, my attempts to "try" food always end up as failures. 麻酱面 super salty. Maybe that's why people rarely trust my decisions..
The night seemed young. What to do? Take photo first :)
Because we've been singing a lot these days while walking, we decided to visit the 10+ storeys high partyworld ktv. Super worth it. $10, room toilet, free flow water, 800 worth of food/beverages to be ordered (in the $10), spacious room, 1030-5. Disadvantages? slight smell of cigarette smoke, presence of mosquitoes (some how disappeared in the middle of the night, or maybe they found a really delicious guy to feast on and ignored me), and no hanyupinyin function.
-----
then the next day, yeliu! don't know how to write the name ps. And the rocks there look disgusting. Goosebumps. Choonboon was telling me how much jane would dislike this place.
so many shrooms rocks
At night, we went to another night market, dunno what name again. We had our facepalm 鸡排, tastes so great, you feel like facepalming yourself with the 鸡排! okay actually there are big 3 points to facepalm. 1.we saw them cut the chix. by right our impression of taiwan 鸡排 is that they don't cut the chix, diff from sg. 2.there was a stall just beside it that sold 鸡排 too but we failed to notice, and the price is cheaper. 3.the girl was frying a 鸡排 and we thought it was for us, then she started eating it. Fun with ray and boon hahaha.
photo with 台妹？ a 3 men mission but zuok was cool and lucky, so he joined in haha.
-----
 |
early in the morning without boon at our favourite family mart. what to do? hahaha. really sorry.
and we went to the zoo.So you might ask what the difference between a Singapore zoo and a taipei zoo. Not much actually. But we do get closer to the animals. Amazing how the tiger in sg is so far apart from tourists, yet ppl die, but the tiger in taipei zoo is only a glass pane away but no one died. So, nothing much to capture, except maybe butterflies that could be one of the reasons why raymond fell sick later. 
future 台妹! So fascinated with butterflies.
-----
The next day, some of them chose to slack in hotel, so only 6 survivors for exploration. Went to 淡水 and the scenery was pretty good!!
At night, the elephant mountain. Climbed like mad, along with a raymond who's not feeling well, only for rain to pour all over us and force us to descend. Some of us were wearing new apparels bought in Taiwan some more. Soaked from top to toe and I felt a lil sick at night :( That didn't stop me from visiting the night club after that haha. But urgh. Smoky sleazy poor katy perry music. But it really is a place where "i want to touch" and "i want to get touched" meet, like a fair place for transaction. Sorry but I think of my gf and this is what I did:
going along with my slight sickness and acted uncomfortable, so went out to chill with benjamin, who also didn't like it. hehe.
-----
last day in taiwan, but just can't resist myself from buying a bowl of 阿宗面线, which I said was ghim's wife and everyone agreed ah hahaha. Sad that they have to break up on this day.
Overall a nice experience in Taiwan, led by vballers, accompanied with vballers. It's an awesome feeling to visit new places of different cultures. Looking forward to the promised frying session :)
-----
The very next day, I went to run 21km. x.x Of course I didn't have enough rest! Still slightly sick pls. I wanted to run, and I just couldn't bear to collapse for fear that others' heart might break. So I ran slowly, and completed it hehehe. A new experience I must say, that my leg actually tightened up so much at 16km, that I had to drag my whole body to 21km, plus my insistent refusal to walk. Kudos to jeremy the olympian for zooming through it like a breeze :)
Yes, sorry, I decided I'm not gonna run more than 10km next time thanks. hahahaha.
-----
Went to kushinbo to celebrate yongchee's belated birthday! Expensive ahhhh. Ate like 20 fresh prawns and 4 alaska crab legs haha. What a hassle to eat the alaska crabs. And there, all of us caught a glimpse of our future uncle bodies. Present later yongchee!
-----
Back at work, my email inbox was flooded. 80+ unread messages. Had to spend 3 days to clear up every single email and follow-up all the shits. That's work life for everyone I guess. You can't go on a holiday in peace. And you can't go on a holiday with your colleague either, because he/she will have to cover up for you while you're on leave. He/she might even curse you for dumping them the work and going off for enjoyment. Just joking, my aunties are very nice people :)) It's just a sad fact. How I admire those companies that organise work holiday vacation so that no one is compromised!!
-----
Maybe the average rate is 70. Some 100. But mine shot up to 200 at least, I'm sure.still can't believe but am extremely elated. *skips around happily like jane.
there is just one kind of silliness that has the power to move me.

the song that vballers kept singing in taiwan:

哦 台湾美, 你眼裡我出現
Took leave on Friday whee. Feels really shiok pls. Can't wait for work to end. But if I don't work I won't have money. Sigh, why like that?!
Taiwan taiwan taiwan :) Hello 槟榔妹 炸鸡扒 bubble tea hot spring and.. i don't know what else is waiting for me!
Don't know why I feel so anxious.. Feels like I'm still dreaming haha. Suddenly the thing that I've been looking forward to is here. So fast. With 11 guys some more. Crazy. hot spring yay. Maybe I forgot to bring something? Nope checked with the checklist. Maybe I forgot to list it in the checklist? Hmm.. mind block now.
just hope so hehe ._.

hahaha that's so miss swan
hi jane, I do blog frequently ok! quite frequent? haha.
So, yesh. Where was I? I went for a few more rides after I got my license hahaha. My dad seemed more excited that I got my license than me -.-" I still find the roads unfamiliar, and probably still can't confidently drive to any place other than choa chu kang area. JB roads are so dark, but I can drive till 120 there muahaha. Yup, just trying my best to gain experience on the road! Also learning how to strike a balance between playing safe and achieving laojiao standard.
-----
I extended my work till June -.-" because of 3days paid leave + less hassle in job hopping + insignificant difference in temp office hour job experience + chance of getting a job that has lower pay + it's only 2 more months anyway.. So I should have about 1month to party/nua/activate quirky ideas before orientation starts! hehehehe. Oh wait, I don't even know if I will have an orientation to go to.
Ever since I plucked up the courage to ask for more things to learn during work, I've been getting more saigang. More and more useless, meaningless tasks like filing level 2, re-labelling, filtering the list for access rights etc. Tsk man, tsk. tan soon keng la. Just a tsk initial that came into my mind at this moment. Nowadays I spend more time reading news online and acting busy than ever, because I have declared my availability to my colleagues, so I have the rights to enjoy a little before I get the arrows right? Hahaha. Nothing much to "enjoy" also, since I only read the news that I am interested to read.
-----
I tried to cook again, and unsurprisingly it was not-very-tasty hahaha. What maggiemee egg meatball crabmeatnugget. Very unhealthy yes. What to do?! I don't know what I can use in my fridge also :(
Celebrated clar ben kun defa's birthday in one day! Yummy oreo cheesecake by tf kun and friends. Baking is something that I feel very distant to.. Maybe I'll try next time when I have some noob but interested kakis to try with me! :)
when nanhuahigh and hwachonginstitution come together, you get nan hua chong fish head steamboat. Some how it looks famous, got a lot of ppl, and 3 branches very near each other. Two of them are called nanhuachong, the other called nanhuachang. Their chinese names are 南華昌.
._. question mark x 2.
Not bad la, but not so good until I 拍桌喊好 also. The marmite chicken tastes good though.
Then we discussed out Taiwan itinerary together for the first time haha. Actually it has been discussed by some of our bros who are more familiar with Taiwan, for some reason, maybe during army excursion or something. So we were only there to hear the finalised plans and to come out with a list of items to bring. Amazed at the planning, thumbs up! *jian leveled up! Next time can try planning something le!
Some people just know how to organise better than others. Some just wait for things to happen, as usual. Some voice out thoughts that are pointless, eg: so how are we going to do this?, which obviously is the question in everyone's minds. Some just don't want to take any step. Kinda irks me, seriously. Don't really know how to best say this but.. maybe you can refer to the lyrics for 5566 煎熬 (yayyy 5566 hihi) for the idea: 因为你说说到做到，提得起放得下才有男人的味道. Actions pls.
-----
Celebrated qiang's birthday in advance cos I'll be flying by then. Sigh, I think my family should not go for buffet haha. Buffet is not for us. It's for those secondary school kids who still got PE lessons to burn their fats!
I daresay I'm a good spicy-food-eater. But wasabi is not under spiciness! ><
Reminds me of my virgin wasabi tasting in australia 2011, when I cried while eating, searing pain x 3 leh! I nearly cried at sunset way also haha.
-----
The Hunger Games!! Wa interesting story! As usual I put myself into the main character's shoes. It's like survivor in the woods. Now then I know all the peeta bread jokes haha. Hmm, I don't know the story, and neither am I good at this, so I can't tell whether she likes the breadman or the guy back in district 12. Either one of them will be very sad :( warmth granted! :) no idea whether it's a crash caused by the surge of a million thoughts or just a plain mind blank. But lame enough my random weird urges haha *wink.
And the very last minute celebration. *shakes my head. One does not simply stop one's silliness :) because it's the little bits that matter. Yup free warm hands! But was ready for neck la, didn't expect head, so, awesome that it helped hehe.
I say bbrr, it's cold in here
I say rrbb, it's round and diong
-----
Enough of the nonsense. At that instant.. really.. hmph. I will block. I might even shoot you with a rubber band hor! But seriously, the persistence.. I won't allow insults, not with me here.
