Seriously, even if i wan to feed my extended family for the next 2 generations, i tink that's not of an issue also lah!!! My entire clan can just eat n eat till everyone dies lor!! lol
$1B sia....
And as I contd to browse thru other online articles, I came across a Forbes report on Singapore's Top 40 Richest back in 2006.
Imagine, at age 47, 3 years back, Olivia Lum of Hyflux was already boasting a net worth of $240million!!!
Wah lau eh..mayb my total worth doesnt even amount to $24k can anot???!!!
I tink Im so freaking "cheap".
Anw, im citing Olivia Lum since she is one of the youngest in the list.
To tink that alot of Singaporeans scurry to buy Toto whenever SIngapore Pools give out bonus draws and such,when actually, the winnings are so uber insignificant as compared to the nation's richest people.
And seriously, how many pple u known ever strike Toto Grp 1? I dun even noe of any winners from Grp 2 lah. Not even a single one in my entire lifetime.
Of cos, if can win better than notink lah..Then again, I dun even bet on Toto!
SHitz. As such, i can firmly conclude I am bound to be a pauper for the rest of my life. Sad case manz...Haiz...
Will anyone kindly advise n educate me on the means of striking it rich? Plssss???
* I dun mind to STINK, just let me reek of the filth of $..I dun mind being FILTHY RICH!!!!!
1. Happi Happi bdae to my Dear Fren!!! N it's becos of u that Im still blogging at such wee hours! Hope u had enjoy the dinner plus supper! Haha. N of cos, the pressie!!! U r welcome to change the color if u want. N btw, it's TURQUOISE colour..not blue or green colour oki??!!
2. I ought to be doing sumtink more constructive at this hour. Either slping or STUDYING. But nope, im doing neither. Tsk Tsk. Then again, for the sake of Thought No 1, wat's the big deal abt losing some precious slp for my dear fren? haha.
3. It's been Home Alone Day 6. N im still alive n kicking! I have yet to burn dwn my house while cooking noodles, I have yet to attract any buglaries cos I have been conscientiously reminding myself to LOCK the doors. Haha.
4. I miss my mommy n daddy. I hope they r having a great time now. N they better do so! Cos their filial daughter had blasted more than $2k for their holiday!!!! This has gota b the most costly Mother's Day pressie till date.
5. Do I have a choice of NOT paying my credit card bills without incurring any interest? Just my Citibank bills alone is $3.8k! Im freaking, freaking broke. Then again, it's all for a worthwhile cause. Ref to Thought No 4. It warms my heart to make my parents happy. It really does. =)
6. I have this bad omen that I will fail the upcoming exam on Thur. =(

10. I have an option of logging off now and my mind is already a blank as i come to Thought No 10. Yet, im trying to forcibly come up with some crap for Thought No 10. SImply becos Im a big-time procrastinator. Im so incorrigible. I know. Haha.
Edited as of 2.30am:
Just read my Dear Fren's blog..its pretty farnie that she describe my pressie as "New Clothes" for her passport. Haha. U see..i got her an Agnes B passport holder. So to my Dear Fren, u dun complain that I din get u the Coach Passport Holder which I got for myself in States liao hor! Now, BOTH our passports got new clothes le!!! Yippie!! =)
There is 1 fucking character trait which i so hate abt myself.
Put it in a nice manner, I m a nostalgic person who is highly sentimental abt the past. However, if u wana put it harshly, Im perhaps more of a fool who have great problems abt moving on, as such, always living in the shadows of the past.
No one likes to be a broken recoder, harping on the past and becoming vulnerable to all the unhappiness all over again.
I wish I can be strong enuff to be vulnerable, but I am too weak for that.
For the 2nd time in recent weeks, I have this sudden urge to start writing protected entries.
I need another cathartic entry, badly.
Despite all that has been said, tdy had been a great day. =)
This should be what Im living for.
We live for the days ahead, n not for the past, isnt so?
I perfectly know abt this logic, and yet, I m feeling hung up. That's exactly why i hate myself for this, seriously.
On a random note, I tink I kinda made my stand clear on my intended "list". Well, gg forward, i hope this will ease all the dilemma and agony. It's Once-A-Upon-Time that i will nv fathom myself saying such stuff, and it's only a mth ago when I still have serious reservations abt saying so. Nonetheless, if u can say certain things EXPLICITLY, without any qualms, I dun c y i shd b still bothered.
Phew! I feel better now that I let certain things off my chest.
Occassionally, when I realised people are browsing thru my past entries, curiousity will get the better of me and I too, will click on those links to c which page and which stage of my life pple are reading.
And tonite..I happened to click back on the entries which I had blogged a year back.
Ah, so on this day last yr, which is a day b4 Mother's Day, I was at Zouk wif Martin, Doc Heart, Mojo n Sia. Hmm..those were the days, and the pics n entries had certainly triggered much happy memories.
Then I contd to read back the entries..
Apr 2008 probably can b termed as a "healing period". As i read what i wrote, I could sense my efforts in trying to fix the broken pieces of my life, desperately. I tried hard to seek my deserved happiness again, to pull myself together. I do reckon I managed to do it, however, the only irony was I din expect to lose that nanobits of happiness again within a year.
In Mar 2008, goodness..that was honestly one of the most painful period ever. Painful, not becos of the undeserving person; painful, becos of the act. I may no longer feel that pain, but the incident remains etched in my memory. It's tantamount to having a very bad fall, which causes u terrible pain at that point of time. No doubt aft some time, the pain subsides, but the scar remains wif u forever n ever.
However, much as life aint a bed of roses, it hadnt been all bad either.
As I read those entries of Feb n Jan 08, I realised I had been pretty happy then.
True enough, there were little snippets of stuff that had made mi upset or unhappy, but all in all, there had been no major grievances of life.
As such, I cant help but question, what went wrong thereafter?
I have no answer to the very question posed by myself, neither do I noe the point Im trying to make throughout the entire entry.
Ramblings, as usual.
On a final note, lemme just jot dwn the events of the day, incase I shd read this crap a yr from now. Haha.
So, I had a great time playing my latest addiction, Texas Holdem Poker, wif some of my fav pple..WP, SL, LP, JL n Bryan..
Of cos, the nite will have end on a more jubilant note if I had won lah!
Nevertheless, gambling as defined in my insurance text, is a speculative risk which may result in a profit or loss. Keke, mi trying to act scholastic here! =p
N oh, speaking of which, I passsed my 1st paper!
1 more paper to go, n i will be ceritified! =)
P.S: If there's such a thing that prayers can b answered, I pray wif utmost n absolute sincerity for the remaining half of the year to be good.
U probably cant believe wat I m doing, or rather, trying to do, for the past few hours..Guess what?
I am actually mugging for my upcoming exam on Tue!!
Gosh!
6 years aft graduation, here I am, back to mugging my books..ALL OVER AGAIN!! N it reali aint a nice feeling.. =(
Imagine, while the vast majority of u r having fun n enjoying your long wkends, i gota coop myself indoors! N it doesnt help that I hv evil frens like LP n WP who were trying their very best to "lure" mi out for a game of poker. But..I got high level of self-control! So "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" had been my firm response to them. Altho admittedly, my hands r also itching for a game lah. Hehe.
Tokin abt poker, aft almost a yr since i last played due to perpetual lack of poker buddies, I m making a COMEBACK wif my newfound buddies.Haha
And so..for the past few weeks, including yest, I have been keeping myself preoccupied wif Texas Holdem' Poker! Yuppie!
Hmm..in my opinion, poker is a much better pasttime as compared to boozing. Boozing is 100% spend (waste) money activity, whereas poker stll got chance to "kio" some pocket money back. Heez.
Alrity, no doubt I stll got loads to ramble on, I tink i better go back to my books.
The damn prob that I have now is, I have been telling myself the same old thing since Nth hours agao. But Im still glued to my comp, completely rooted to my chair.
Well, i choose to see it's nt reali my fault.
It's the fault of the society. Screw the cyberworld, screw the techonology, screw MSN, screw Youtube, screw blogdrive...yeah manz, it's everyone's fault but not mine. Haha, seems pretty familiar huhz. Now i can comprehend why people tend to blame everyone and everything else but themselves. Cos it makes things n life way more easier.
Well, mayb gg forward, i shd follow suit and advocate this way of life also. =p
Edited 20mins aft the initial entry:
Oki, face it. Who M I kidding? It's apparent that my pea-brain aint gg to absorb any more stuff frm that (cursed) text. Infact, all i wana do now is to hit the sack.
Hmm..strange hor..I bet if it's any other weekend, I will still be raring wif life at this timing of 4am, but now hor..the moment I flipped open that hateful text, i almost wana concuss instantaneously!! Oki, i noe wat to do when I m having insomnia probs again.
While most of the days when I had hope for time to pass by as quickly as it can, so that I can get over n done wif all the shit in life. Apparently, it doesnt.
And on those exceptionally rare occassions when I wish for time to come to a standstill, damn, it just flashes by so quickly! Grhh..
N so there it goes, our weekend getaway was over b4 we knew it. =(
On the way to Genting...
Haha, i always like to hang out wif pple whom I feel just so comfy wif..Cos it allows mi to go totally ungroomed n disheveled. Us, at our "lok cork-iest" state. (oki lah, mi lok cork oni lah. Haha)
And finally..we arrived at the much awaited destination!
Our 1st groupie of the day! *all smilez*
Moi n my beloved teammies. *heartz*
Ha Ha ha.
SteFanNg n ChrisVin Hong. (Think: Fann Wong n Christopher Lee) =p
Like some overgrown kids, we decided to challenge each other to a "basketball game" at the arcade. Haha
Shane emerged as the victor.
Wah lau..luk at the total no of tixs he won as a result of his victory! *pouts in jealousy*
Eh, needless to say, it's pretty easy to guess who r the losers..
Mi n KE lor. Haha. But harro..at least i was game enuff to indulge in this stupid game, knowing fully well Im bound to lose lah. Sumore the losers must pay for everybody's games leh. I tio conned manz! Haha.
N guess wat? Becos im too short, i gota jump to aim n throw the ball. Now i got blue-black on both knees can anot? Sobz. Poor knees. Poor Na. =(
After the crazy arcade games, I managed to get everyone to go to one of my "Must-Haves" in Genting. Coffee Bean!!! Haha, the majority of them are actually Strabuck fans. But still..hahaha..
We started to get cranky at Coffee Bean, and it resulted in a series of cranky pics.
The spoof of Titanic plus Brokeback Mountains
We tried to reenact the all-time classic scene as well. Obviously, it was a big flop. Haha.
Whose smelly arse???????? Eeeksss!!!
My melancholic Back. Haha.
Their acting urge surge again. Trying to act as a squabbling couple. But noticeably, Hippo was "arm chio-ing' lah. No wonder Christopher Lee has yet to win Best Male Actor all these years. Haha
There's a diff btw "reel" n "real" =P Totally basking in bliss.
Ah, but perhaps not so like wat we tot..Haha
Well, Sia insisted that Mojo picked him up, and clearly, the girl begs to differ. N this resulted in a very reluctant pic of "who pick up who?" Haha.
Eh, so wat abt mi??????? Who's gona pick mi up???????
Lil Boi meh?
Pls lor..i also buay gian lah!!!! Lol.
Oki oki, i noe im being damn lame here. Haha.
Our 3rd Groupie of the day!
Next, the 2nd "Must-Have" in Genting..
Yesh! My fav restaurant in Genting..The Olive Restaurant n my fav dessert, Durian King! Yummylicious..
Thanks to mi, I brought them to a place which the total tab came up to $800+ RM. Haha, but its nice wat! Heez.
N well, that's abt it..b4 we knew it, we were on the way back to SG. Haiz..
Haha, n the disappointment of the fact that our holiday is over must have reali pushed Hippo over the edge of sanity.
It's either he went bonkers or he must be reali hungry!
This is hw far he can "stoop down" for a packet of cuttlefish!!! Wahahahaha
I wonder who will, or still be, in the list for the next getaway. Hmmm...
All of us have been lukin forward to our weekend getaway to Genting from 17/4 -19/4. Im no exception too, of course!
Little did I realise..gosh..tmw IS the day already!! Haha.
I was in the ofc this afternoon..n upon sudden realisation of the date, I turned to Hippo: "Hey tmw is 17th liao hor??!!". Needless to say, Hippo turned to mi in bewilderment,: "Yah lah..u mean u duno ah??!!!"
Haha, honestly, despite all the hype, i kinda "overlook" that fact. Heez. Damn, time reali whizz past us like nobody's biz manz. From the initial discussions till the booking n all the lil "episodes" during the process, we will, however, be setting off in abt 24hrs time! Yippie!
N I can finally make gd use of the Ambercrombie sweats that I bought in States!!
I luv breaks n holidays.
Aids to detox n clear up my perpetually clogged pea-brain.
P.S: I hope I will enjoy myself, or rather, I MUST n I SHOULD be enjoying myself. Why wouldn't I, anyway? Yet, I can't deny that there's just an unexplained fear that is gnawing at the back of my mind...A fear that will deny mi from true enjoyment n sheer joy..
Hv u ever wake up, only to feel freaking rotten abt urself?
I did, when I woke up tdy. And my day ended with the exact same shitty feelings of hw i started the day.
Pathetic.
N honestly, it's not as though like I had an extremely rough day.
As a matter of fact, I had been in the company of great frens tdy. Even when we were stuck in the horrendous jam at the Causeway (oh ya, i went JB again), it was certainly an enjoyable car-ride with all those silly n crappy banter. N needless to say, we had our usual routine of a sumptous seafood feast, which i so loved.
The one n oni "mishap" that occured was when the car stalled due to low fuel. Despite that, we were reali goddamn blessed. The blessing in disguise was that we were actuali v near to a petrol kiosk when the incident happened. Imagine how much worse the situation could have been if we were stuck at some freaking jammed highway or at some ulu places instead! That will definately put us in a dire state!
Yet, I was excessively unhappy.
At times, I reali wonder, how could one be so excessively unhappy? Surely, there must be things to liven up ur days, brighten up ur life?
So i conclude, sure enuff, there are many lil things which make me happy. Nevertheless, those sprouts of unhappiness just keep budding in my mind. Much as I will like to weed them away completely, they simply refuse to budge.
And it feels terribly miserable when u duno wat the hell makes u miserable, but on the other hand, u noe u r the very own cause of ur misery.
I dun like wat I am writing now. Cos I dun like to feel the way I am feeling now.
I am hardly a green-eyed monster. I may be envious of hw things fall just so nicely in some people's life, but mostly, no jealousy or resentment is involved. At most, I will just go, "damn, this fella reali leads a charmed life".
However, this time round, Im actuali feeliing quite resentful.
I cant pinpoint excatly what I m resentful of. The situation or the people? If its the latter, izizt myself or others?
Perhaps I m resentful of the fact that why am i always NOT the one? However, if bad things happen, I will, seemingly then be the one to get it.
Perhaps I m resentful of hw some people seem to get away scot-free wif their misdeeds so easily, when obviously, they arent the nicest souls on Earth? N thereafter, they live a happily-ever-after life, starting all over wif a clean slate of life, wiping away all the deceit n lies.
Ignorance is bliss. U can forgive n forget more readily if u do not know what the truth beholds.
Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me all things are gonna happen naturally And taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side And balancing the whole thing But often times those words get tangled up in the lines And the bright lights turn to night Until the dawn it brings Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me
Cause you and I both loved What you and I spoke of And others just dreamed of others only read of.. the love.. the love that i love
See I'm all about them words Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive
cause you and I both, loved what you and I, spoke of. and others just read of. and if you could see me now. oh love love. you and I, you and I Not so little you and I anymore And with this silence brings a moral story more importantly evolving is the glory of a boy
causew you and I both loved what you and I spoke of and others just read of and if you could see now well than I'm almost finally out of well i'm almost finally finally. oh i am free
and it's okay if you had go away oh just remember the telephones where they both work in m both ways but if I never ever hear them ring if nothing else I'll think the bells inside have finally found you someone else and that's okay cause I'll remember everything you were saying
you and I both loved what you and I spoke of and others just read of and if you could see me now
