snap your finger...

posted by tristan @ 1/31/2006 01:25:00 PM  

SNAP your finger and new year is over! Can't believe how time tick away when there's holidays. The past 3 weeks of OFF, LEAVE and PUBLIC holiday is over. And the thought of returning back to camp and start of practical just makes me feel so sick! What makes things worse is after tomorrow, there won't be anymore PH till April.





Can normal days pass quickly while holidays just make it a lil' slower? lolx. Can't wait for next year to be here. After hearing that my cousin is left with practically 2 months to ORD, I was totally turn off. I miss civilian life. I miss my pink ic. I miss commuting to work in civilian instead of the ugly no.4. I want my swiss hotel management bachelor education. I want, I want, I want...

the boring new year

posted by tristan @ 1/29/2006 01:38:00 PM  

sheez. how boring can a new year be. its somehow getting from bad to worst year to year. anyway, kor's ang moh friend - Lars - was here to have reunion dinner with us last night. And we can really see the fact that everyone just loves ang moh. lolx. A boss is afterall a boss, he spent almost 200 on us, obviously, we were pampered with 2 bottles of Torres Red Wine and everyone's favourite 6 big bottles of Bird Nest. Dad's main purpose for inviting him over is because he's a really nice boss and ocassionally bringing kor for business trip to his Irints worldwide retail outlets which includes London, Paris, Tokyo etc and upcoming Bangkok. Also to get a feel of what Chinese Reunion Dinner is like, since he's all alone in SIN. haha. After some warming up, we talked about French class which he took like years back in Alliance Francaise. And we have come to an agreement that French is such an awesome langauge though he only made it through a quarter. Not forgetting Qoo collection, too bad i'm into can drinks and he told him how fanciful those Qoo softtoys were in Tokyo. Anyway, it was a good reunion dinner and you guys should see how my dad can clicked with him with his "1/2 bucket water" English. *cannot laugh*


After dinner, went to Singapore River to view the Fireworks. All thanks to uncle for picking such a great spot that we can only see reflection of the fireworks on the building near to Ritz. Thereafter went to temple to pray and home sweet home.


If there's one thing I hope I can overcome this year, it will be my temper. I don't know why, eversince NS started, I get agitated easily and can flare up anytime. Take for example the incident in Ikea, a woman just pissed me off and I just scolded her "bitch" on the spot. Its as if the whole Ikea, there's only mum and I inside and she angrily said "can you all move faster?" Don't make me digged out her eyeballs man! Ikea was packed on the day. "bitch" is already very lenient. HOAR suits better! I can't seems to control my temper anymore. Perhaps its the fact that i've been to good for the past 20 years, some people seemingly took it for granted. Yesterday at the temple, as there were too many people and I can't find my mum, I was about to scold her for not waiting for me. Because I don't know where to offer the josssticks.


Its just soooooo boring. I'm going back to my books. Update again.

lunar new year eve

posted by tristan @ 1/28/2006 01:15:00 PM  

1 more day to lunar new yr. have you got all your stuff? anyway, invited my friends over for reunion dinner. thanks to all my mates for making everything possible and kelly for taking her time off. Was good to see her after sometime. Not forgetting nes and licia, and licia surprised me with her 3k braces, so expect to see a nice set of toothie teethie in 1 and a half years time. Not forgetting lian for helping me to get in touch with the others, hui for helping out with the dishwashing and ting, hmmm... for eating ba. hahahah! joke of the day was when kelly and I doing the "spirit fingers" from the movie Bring It On. When you put her and I together, expect disastrous non-stop laughter!


Tonight will be the dinner with my parents, kor, aunty and uncle. Dad just love the whole place to be lively.

I just bought Hardware Mag and a book called "The Sky is crazy" by Yvonne Lee. The Hardware Mag offers some of the coolest gadgets in town and for the new year 2006. I'm so into these gadgets. Well, sometimes seeing it do soothes the cravings. Needless to say, by owning it, its definitely an add-on.
"The Sky is crazy" is from a local writer, sharing her experiences over the past years as a cabin crew in an International airline. Actually my main purpose of buying is to share it with esther. Coz' this books is simply hilarous and bring the inside-out of the metal cylinder at 35000 feet.


what else? lately, been thinking about what I really want to do after my NS. Because most of my platoon mates have either reserved a place in NUS or NTU or have already started to look around at overseas education. Me? i'm still stuck and clueless where I should start. The financial issue for swiss education for Hotel Management seems to have shatter my dream. Imagine where am I gonna bloody raise the 100k in 1.5 years, or maybe 2 to 3 years if I'm gonna start working first. Rob a bank, kidnap and ask for ransom. haha. Imagine this crazy scene where you kidnap and ask for ransom this manner. "I want to study Hotel Management in swiss, pay my 100k school fees with a luxurious hostel, and fly me there by a prestige airline with 10k of allowance, and i'll release the hostage" (-_-")


Let me enjoy this new year first and I'll think about it later. Not forgetting bringing my parent to watch "I'm not stupid 2" tomorrow night. Heard from esther its really a good local movie and you can relate to it well. Wishing everyone, a Happy Chinese New year filled with luck and prosperity!

an ungrateful encounter.

posted by tristan @ 1/22/2006 11:19:00 AM  

Well, its been almost a week since I've last blog. Blame it on the lazy bugs growing and infesting inside me. Anyway, friday was my wing cohesion day at West Coast Park. I was one of the organising committee members, thus have to get there by 8a.m. 2 of my other friends and I had decided to flag a cab as we're running late. While waiting by the roadside, my friend saw a blue silky kind of handphone pouch, he then made a teasing comment, "weichang, this handphone pouch must be yours right?" The clever me then asked the stupid him to use his leg to step on the pouch. Who knows we are lucky enough to find a handphone inside right?! Yes, it was a lucky day indeed. There's a Motorola E398 camera phone inside the blue pouch. *I suppose 2006 will be a good year for me*


The first sentence that came out from my mouth "I can sell this and buy my Nokia N70 already" with a smirk on my face. But after going through his contacts, messages and pictures, I realised he's a secondary school boy and must have dropped it while in a hurry. I was determined to pass this phone back to him for 3 reasons:


1) He's still a secondary school boy and we never know what's his family background is like


2) I've lost my handphone once and I know what's the panick-striken feel is like.


3) I'm born kind and shouldn't be greedy. wahhahaah!


But when I reached West Coast and the story starts spreading round my platoon, everyone have the same mission - to corrupt my mind, sell the handphone and use it as platoon fund. You know that kind of devil and angel scene above your head?

Yes! It looks something like this! In the end, I still insist to return it to that guy. So I messaged his friend and asked him to get back to me. After several sms exchanged, my friend and I decided to meet him at IKEA, as I need to get something from there. There's a price to pay if you want your handphone back.


Met him and to my surprise, he doesn't seems to be grateful nor enthu to get back his phone. He mumbled the" ant-liked" thank you and left hurriedly. I was speechless on the spot! Is this how student behave nowadays? Damn it, I should have trusted the DEVIL! Angel are devil in disguise! haha! If I were to lost my handphone in future, will the kind soul go through this kind of trouble to return back to me? Well, if that phone belongs to a working adult, i would have sell it man! It's because he still school boy, I soften to return it to him.


Lesson to be learnt:

Take whatever handphone you've found! Angels are hardly seen, or should I say grateful people seldom exist these day!

Post-concert syndrome

posted by tristan @ 1/15/2006 12:51:00 PM  



Image hosted by Photobucket.com


Finally, the concert is over and true enough, i'm suffering from the post-concert syndrome. That's how an artiste can do wonders to fans. I'm going to get Yanzi's Hongkong concert VCD, sharing with esther. We just can't get enough. Her concert is simply so amazing, and I really enjoyed each and every single moment. And the part I love the most was when she sang "Moment" before encore and her piano piece "Wo Yao De Xing Fu".


However, one thing about singaporean. We're too reserve. We just can't step out of our comfort zone, scream our lungs out and play along. And 2 things I regret most were not buying of light stick (which is a must if you're going to watch concert), also, camera!!! Esther and I forgot to bring it along. *ah wei, that girl left right away after the concert, can't get her to send me the photos lei, haha!*


2 most memorable speech in the concert:


After the encore, yanzi said she was so afraid that the moment she came up to the platform, half the audience might have already left, because singaporean have the tendency of leaving early to avoid jam. But luckily only a few shitty fella did that.


Next come the infectious phrase "man should not follow their destiny, they should choose it" That's true! we should do something we like and be happy with it!


Anyway, its really an amazing concert! Powerful vocal, well cheographed dance move, with my all time favorite cutesy singer, Yanzi!! I wanna say a BIG BIG thank you to esther for taking time off to accompany me to the concert! I hope you had a great time despite the fact that our hands are empty without light stick! I'll definitely go to the jielun's one! rest assure! Thank you!!


Next, you know what? I'm going to perform on 27th for my school. Some kind of new year celebration cum reflection about the past year. Actually, we have already planned to sing together as a platoon, but my instructor says he want to find main singer, back up and main choir. On Friday, he requested each and everyone to sing a verse out. You know, my hand was trembling so badly, but in the end, i still got myself into the role as lead singer for MJ's "Heal the World" and Mariah Carey's "When You Believe". And after our practice, everyone kept asking me to join Singapore Idol. Last season i've already sign up, and I failed to turn up because my heart tells me not to do so!


PS: Fanny, I finally got to perform "when you believe". You know when we were in Year 2 Sem 2, both of us like to hum this song during out ECAD lesson whenever we can't figure out programming codes. lolx. So this song is for you!


So much so, I'm going to take a rest now. Really tired!

Get to know yourself better
Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.



The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.



Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.



What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.



Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

First event of the year

Yeah... after looking high and low for a companion to watch the much anticipated Sun Yanzi Concert 2006, Esther is kind enough to go with me! hehe! We're both excited and counting down to the 14th. And she seems so much more excited than I do? So, to thank her for taking the trouble to apply for leave, being questioned like a prisoner while she's on standby, I decided to upgrade to the $128 seatings last minute! Ok, maybe I'm the one who want to take a closer look and enjoy the concert better since its almost 4 years since she last came to singapore!.


I'm beginning to enjoy the life in OETI. My platoon mates are fun people to hang out with, and we can really talk crap & rubbish whole day long with non-stop laughter. Perhaps I should call my platoon the HIMBO! And again, my platoon mates say I look like Ah Ben from Channel U and now got something new, Pierre Png, the Dayang from Tong Xing Yuan. (-_-)" Mei Ren Yu...


Can't imagine how's life gonna be 3 months later after we got separated, but I find that the people here are somewhat nicer than my section mates in Tekong. At least there's no fools throwing Twiggies sponge cake onto the fan and making a mess on my bed. hahaha! Close friends should know what I'm talking about, esther, erjie, lian, ting and en hor?


Can't wait for friday to be here, I need sleep badly! And there's a Teaching Career Seminar this sat at Orchard Hotel, don't know if I should go?!
