A new year, a farewell to 2008

Well alright i've been away from the bloggin world for quite sometime now, been enjoying, resting, exerxising, partying and oh yes sleeping. So much has happen this year and especially since my last entry, this whole dec has taught me a lot of things which i thought i already knew. issues to do with friends, family, jobs, financial security and sanity. Well if there's sometin ive learnt this year, it would be those. Anyways it's 425am 1st Jan 2009, a day to start everything afresh, well later i have a party till friday morning where i have sch and tests =_= some start! below are some pics of the last 2 weeks =) .................................

Christmas alcoholic cake, a family tradition where rum is poured in and the both cakes are on fire, we need to mash it until the fire is out and u eat it with butter on top and rum. im not much of a alcoholic nor desert person so i didn't really eat it =(

Some of the family members in the hse, not every1 has arrived yet! so we're jus preparing everything =) Nice Xmas Eve Dinner

A few more days till 2009

Yes it's a few more days till 2009, yet i was watchin the news and today's most outstanding piece of information was about abandoned pets. I'm watching the news now and it's saying that Christmas is the most hurting times for pets when currently with the recession and financial difficulties with most households are causing people to give away their pets. It's like WTF, you can't afford then buy for fuck? What a waste of life, it's like that exact time when Finding Nemo came out and people started buying clownfish. Little did they know how to look after one, Singapore ended up being one of the countries being labelled clownfish killers. *Saddening* im hoping to adopt a dog when i move next yr, there's so many in homes, i so wish i was rich so i can adopt all of them, hiaz, life is unfair.....anybody wanna adopt? i have a few pets im looking after, around pasir ris. Almost everyday at night when i go joggin i'll head down to various places around pasir ris with some dog/cat food, so cute they'll always wait patiently for me. Although tiring it can never be considered a burden, i love them so much. Got pics of the pets if any1 wants to adopt.

I miss m&m

Why i like cats....

Sure i love dogs, my first pet was a dog, his name was dino and i miss him so much, even now i can sometimes think of my german shepard. My entire family has a string of dogs, we own about 7-10 dogs within the last 10 yrs, that's how much we love dogs. BUT some ppl ask me, " Mark why the sudden switch to cats ?" It's simple, http://www.geocities.com/singapore_cats/ GO READ! NOT READING? FINE I'LL DO IT FOR U

1. " Dozens of stray cats has been rounded up by town councils and has been put down in the past week. Even those strays under the "Stray Cat Rehabilitation Scheme" are not spared. "



2. "Such killing is an extreme measure. It is only an easy way out. Even if these animals are not accepted by part of the community, we believe that other measures can be improvised"



3. The abuse of stray cats is still too common in the Lion City, and the CAT WELFARE SOCIETY is actively promoting the respect of these animals. It is doing everything possible to publicize the worst cases of animal abuse. Therefore, another important direction that they want to take is to foster public awareness and comprehension of cats as domestic animals, preferably with the help of the authorities and educational programs.

Well, sure every1 loves dogs hell even i do, but if ever1 is like that what will happen to cats? I've seen cats been treated cruely, harmed, kicked and even killed, this not only happens in Singapore but all over the world! Would it be so hard for each person to do their part? No right, so if u can help me, help me fight for the survival of cats. They are god's creatures too, and if given a CHANCE IN LIFE, they can be so cute, adorable and even a good fren/companion.

Everyday when i come home, Baby Truffles will greet me by meowing, we have set up a nice home for truffie to slp downstairs and we feed him everyday. As for Tesse, everytime i step into the doorway of my house, she will scratch this piece of furniture without fail, it's her way of greeting me. Jus this now tesse was sick, she came up to me and starred with those glistening eyes, now isn't that already sometin? that cats have feelings and emotions? i spend the last 1 hr hand feeding tesse before sis gave her a warm shower.

So this is why i hav cats in my hse and not dogs, not because i favour or am bias to any BUT that no1 else will look after them. I've adopted 2 cats, and found homes for 3-4cats. That's 6 lives i've saved! if u wanna help me, im finding ppl who can adopt cats, so pls help

Fun

Spent the early hrs of the morning chatting to her. It was nice for a change but uncomfortable at the same time. man i miss her terribly. She's just lovely no doubt about it.

Anyways spent the next 5-6 hrs at the gym and slacked till evening before heading to tamp to find her bday present. Couldn't find anytin special or nice at all, will look harder over next few days, disappointingly headed back home. Ended up making my way to bedok to stay over at WL's hse for the following morning's kayaking outing. Finally after much pain and endurance from the couch(uncomfortable), it was time to take the bikes and paddle our way over to bedok reservoir. It's been so long since the sea sports club closed, I've forgotten wat it felt like just to be out there in the sea, well in this case bedok reservoir. Anyways it's $15/hr and $8 each subsequent hour.
After we were done with the water activities, we took the bikes and rode through the school,TP, even rode pass my teacher who gave me the "Weird Look!?!?". lolx interesting interesting day, and it gets better with gym activities tonight or jogging. All i need now is a nice steam bath and jacuzzi, too bad my condo jacuzzi is a show piece rather then the actual thing zZz....

Man im bored, im now at tamp TM, MacDonald's waiting for my mother to come from work. Looks like we're going shopping =)
*shop shops shopping* =)

The one who got away

Every now and then i'll just write poems, mostly love poems for no reason at all haha, well it's meant for that special someone, you know who you are. Feel free to copy and paste.

Textbooks teachers, pens and pencils,
Something other then those vicious cycles
The stress within me drives me crazy
I turn to a companion, hopefully a lady.

Days have passed yet still no show
My morals decreases like the rainflow
Where is she? the girl of my dreams
The isolation that stalks me, shows no means.

It’s been 5 years yet still no note
Your disappearance haunts me like a deathnote
I’m searching for you how near and far,
To get you back and call you dar

The ages come and the people go
I have so much regret for reasons unknown
Now that im dying I think of u,
waiting anxiously for your sake too true.
Im clinging on with much despair
My mummy and daddy holds my hand
Wat time Is left yet it’s reserved for u
I pray that time will treasure u.

Off I go, leaving loved ones behind
The life that awaits, oh how divine
The filling of anticipation as pure as light
Darkness shows no vengeful spites

Yet one thing remains constantly on hand,
The thought of u shall never end
Ur innocence so pure, scented and true
The love I have will never run from u

Tues tuesday =)

Pretty Much spent the day resting at home, heading to the gym and a nice steam bath in the sauna. Oh and how can i forget, work =)

Worked at PLAY from 9-3am. It was quite a blast since this time it was an underage event. In short, 16-20 yr old dude and chicks came down from all over the country. 3 bouncers, myself included were to handle 600-700 people inside and outside the club, it was just a pure nightmare! but still it wasn't boring, watching people fight or arguing with the customers, or having customers wanna fight you keeps you awake and alert, thankfully i manage to avoid a fight with some guardian angel watching over me *heng hengs*

Music was great, so great that some of us staff couldn't resist. A showdown took place between some of the staff and customers, it was more like a Dance Off. 2 teams, me and this bartender VS this guy and ang moh gal. The team with the LOUDEST cheer at the end wins! stupid ppl lol, they should think better to challenge people who work in a club obviously we have been watching people dance long enough to have adapted some kinda style, dance moves/originality!?!? HaHA hands down we won, no contest! Damn really should had took the bet, it was like STOMP THE YARD all of a sudden.

Overall cool day, made lots of new friends guys and gal, since it's not gay night today. Shout outs to Robin, Drew, Kristine, Greg and Lydia for the non-alcoholic cocktail =)
hope you dun buy all your new frens drinks lol haha.

New Room in process

Well i pretty much slept at 7am this morning planning the so called *blue prints* for the room makeover. Woke up 1-2 hrs later and started work on my new room to be! I took apart things from tables, chairs, T.V. Console, bed to be either washed, tanned in the sun, or spray painted. STarted clearing all this shit in my room, had like a dozen bags most of which kindly given from my ex. Worse while cleaning up things, i found more things belonging to my ex. Argh!! can i have 1 normal day without anthing to do with her?!?! holy crap balls! But yea continued clearing, and vacumning and sweeping and mopping. I can be the number 1 house wife!! but yea it was great form of an destressing agent where i can just keep myself occupied *sum1's proposal, not mentioning any names =_=*

(Before and after pic of table, ran out of paint and i haven't polished it yet, i kw it's a bad job right? haha)



My cat was a little enthusiastic about the whole event taking place in my room. She even offered to help sniff around and catch any bugs or in most cases dust particles SINCE I DON'T HAVE BUGS IN MY ROOM =)

Gosh many many hrs into doing up my room i find some stuff that doesn't belong to me here's a list :

1)InuYasha Collection CD 1-4 and 8- 12

2)Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban Book (i think my ex's)

3)Nike T-shirt and Shorts

4)Pair of Shoes (i think some gvss student)

5)Hairband

6)Couple of Dvd's and Cd's belonging to a few people

7)Tennis ball =_=

It's like my room is the size of the White House! so much shit lying everywhere but all that's changed now baby, i put books and stuff in boxes and labelled them clearly =)

Well it's 12am im sick of doing my room, time for my fav midnight joggin session. i think i will continue later on in the afternoon, but be4 then a few shout outs :

1. Hoon, thanks for intro to lil cuz
2. Lil cuz, use this time wisely to work hard and plan ur future babe
3. My man, kept me waiting so long! tsk tsk tsk
4. MiuMiu, i'm proud and happy for you, but i'll wait and i dunno why.
5. Tesse' the pet cat who can clean and scrubb

Sunday

Woke up today, supposed to accompany mum and sis with the groceries but i was just so damn tired after last night's to this morning's term of events (previous post). Ended up sleeping till 12noon be4 getting ready to meet my fren at bugis. Supposedly Samual N Kevin (Jeans brand) is having a 40% store clearance on selected goods, and since i now only wear SNK jeans, it's a must! Go take a look...

Weird, i got dressed and i wore this new shirt and white sweater i bought and wham! Allergy! hiaz, my face and back all got rash and my eye became the size of a ball. ZzZ wtf! i think im allergic to some kind of clothing material, or maybe dust? LOL. My fren was a bit pissed i pungseh him but oh well, it was just too damn itchy to ignore. Worse i have this work meeting at 9pm tonight at Great World City, but im just not gonna go cuz im itchy!

Dust being the prime suspect in the crime, i took out my gloves and started throwing shit i didn't want in my room away. On top of throwing magazines, empty perfume/deodorant bottles away, i even ripped off my room curtains and threw it down the rubbish shute =_=. I swear i'm probably having a bad case of PMS, or in most cases, im just gay =)

Over the next couple of days im gonna dismantle, rip off, strip, repaint everything in my room! I'm gonna spend about $100-$200 and try reshape and remodel my entire room! Some of you guys have said my room is cosy but im gonna modernize it a bit and add a few drawings and stuff, stay tuned!
TC

Well wat a saturday! interesting and fun and all i did was stay at home! lol. Friday i last minute couldnt go to than than than's bday, unfortunately had sometin so important that i had to head off too.

Anyways work up today and went downstairs to accompany lil sista for the pre-Christmas Party held at our condo by the poolside. So damn cool la! Ever1 came down (mostly kids) and had fun and games and food etc. Wasn't gonna go but i promised lil sis that i'll accompany so had to cancel my plans of meetin frens for the day and was pretty much grounded at home or in most cases around the pool.

In more details, this party was hosted by the management for mostly the kids to have fun and come together. Holy shit my condo is filled with younglings! so many kids and i didn't know. The guy hosting the show on the stage was a total ass. Just our normal neighbourhood typical singaporean like some of us, but was trying to speak ang moh. Speak until so jialat all the adults didn't really understand. When he was explaining abt the game rules to the kids, he spoke so chim some of the kids started looking away LOL. My sis was on the stage and when prompted for her name, he commented about a famous soccer player 15 yrs ago and spoke about it for 5 mins to ever1 =_= WORSE was 80% of the kids walked away from the stage and went to the playground. I rather have a wardrobe malfuntion then a severe case of A.D.D balls! (Attention Deficit Disorder)

As for the food, i couldn't be bothered queing since all the people so typical take 2-3 plate fulls of food. Sure enough when i go toilet come back, food meant for 50 people was gone, trays were scrubbed clean and most likely licked off. WHY you say? cuz so many inconsiderate people take food like they nvr see be4!!!! mummy came down and first thing she saw was a grandma and aunty taking 5 plates of a mountain of food! in the end they cannot eat they bring home or throw away. inconsiderate bastards!!! haha.

Towards the night since i nvr eat! i decided to order macdonalds at 12am. I'm the type of person who hates fast food, but the last 3 weeks im been craving to try the MEGA MAC! I ordered mac delievery which brought my McSpicy MegaMac Value Meal, Happy Meal (for sista) = $15.95. After eating the burger, i felt like vomiting! yucks! i hate fastfood! only subway is nice =)

Louis came down around 1230am so we sat at the pool, whilst i was eating he took out a lil surprise present! OMG why would a guy get me a present, and it's not even christmas yet? (SEE PIC 3) GAY?

While i was eating, he was trying to get me all touched and shit, that he got me a present. STarted making me feel guilty that i didn't get anything. So as i opened it with great regret. I started guessing the contents of the present.

I guessed correct! A shoebox! and only a shoebox! That damn asshole went to my condo christmas tree to take the DISPLAY PRESENT!! those empty boxes wrapped in wrapping paper and pretended he bought me sometin. ASSHOLE!! Your So Gonna Get It be4 end of Dec.

(See Pic4)

We couldn't stop laughing lol, I GOT PUNK'D!!!!! AGAIN!!! zZzZz. You made me upset! It's like taking milk and cookies from a kid at christmas! Just pretend i'm a small boy, and when i open the present so excitedly, there's nothing but a blank empty box staring at me. bottom of box says loser *boo hoo =_=,*

Well things were just starting to get lame so we decided to walk into the construction site down the road, it was dark, dangerous and a mess. Buildings, pillars, nails, spikes and shit everywhere. It was like one of those zombie movies where the town is left in ruins, dangerous sia and very deserted and haunted, ulu in other words.

Click on this pic (See PIC 5) for the zoom, this is how dark and haunted it was. Yet we still walked in! I love haunted places whahaha!

It was seriously scary, but i think my dear friend didn't wanna go in anymore? LOL U PUSSY! hahaha

Here's another pic >>>>

Scary right? We went in when it's 330am and its pitch black, all we had was my phone and yet again im still taking pictures =) haha

There was this one time i went to OCH, i actually went to one of the levels and used the toilet lol haha, ever1 was wondering where i went, it was jus a toilet zZz. Then was this other time me, my ex and a couple of frens were gonna go in, then for fun i screamed! ahah everyone started running! good times, hiaz i miss her badly.

Oh well, all in all, it's another good and fun day! Thanks for the empty box dude! I HATe YoU!

TC

It's over =)

Exams are finally over! after 8-9 months of pure shit! We have finally got our long deserved holidays!!!!! Well from MP/SIP to an entire school term it was just pure stressful but hey being optimistic, we have the christmas holidays =)........although at the end of the yr we still got sch and 2 stupid lab tests examinations =_=

*enjoy ur holidays guys*

hmms today is officially the first day of holidays for me, and im not wasting 1 min of it! getting ready to head over to town to celebrate than than than birthday. wow that's lots of ppl's birthday this month, zZz i sure go broke sia summore i not working if celebrate every single one. lol. oh well we shall see.

The other day i was coming back home from the exam paper, the bus was deserted! like no1 want sit in the bus with me??? sad sad bah but shoik! was so bored i sat on every seat during the whole ride haha the bus driver thought i siao or wat LOL. (See pic 1) What a Way to Destress =) by doing something totally stupid and crazy.

Well after the long bus ride i had to walk up that stupid hill home. I dunno why all the houses ive been living in is so far from the bus stop! always need walk so damn far lol but good exercise. Got home from exam then slept for 30 mins.

*bump bump*

??? what's that sound? ???

OH! my stomach =_=

Been studying the 8-9 hrs before the exam that i forgot to eat dinner(previous night)/breakfast/lunch! so went to make myself a little well deserved meal. You guys should try this new dish, claypot rice with steamed eggplant fried with light sambal sauce. Any Orders???

Oh i may not be umemployed for long =) called in a couple of favours from a fren, getting me a bouncer job again which is good money. As for the Art Relief Teacher post in Greenview Sec, I don't think i can commit full time office hours since i need to study and graduate hmms.

tsk tsk tsk. yeah some of you wondering about me being a teacher, i scare i produce more little devils then good students haha. Maybe couple months then i'll go into the teaching before my NS. A little unexpected when some of you guys mentioned that i look like a teacher jus need cut my hair. Thanks for the complement? haha and yes i did cut my hair, im kinda botak.

The other day, days before exams actually commenced, after class it was pissing heavy rain! so 4 of us headed to the indoor courts had some hot food and played some cards. The person who lost 5 times in a row had to run out in the rain around the 400m track. haha edwin once again kena and GTR showing good sportsmanship decided to join in on the action.

All in all,

Good time, Good company =)

Stay Tuned

Help for a friend =)

Well today was my first exam, didn't do too well i suppose since i was distracted over sometin so stupid and pointless for the last few days. Hmms i'll prob just get a C this time instead of a B hiaz. After tomorrow i will get back to my proper blogs, promise =)

Anyways the reason i'm putting up a posts today is for a friend of mine. Person A, approached me today while i was on the bus to sch. A claims that her relationship is turning sour and she doesn't know what to do. They have been together for a year plus but things have been going badly and the family doesn't approve. Firstly your asking the wrong person on love/relationship advice, BUT i'll try my best to help =). To the rest of the readers, this may not be your cup of tea, so don't say i didn't warn you......

- Firstly, do you love him?
- Do u feel that this is someone who you feel you can spend hours talking to and totally understand each other?
- Is this person faithful and loyal?
- Do you have this wierd warm feeling whenever your next to him/her?
- Does he love you?
- No matter how bad things get, are you guys still together?

Well if you answer the top 6 questions correctly then WHAT ARE YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT??? It doesn't matter if whoever's parents don't approve, cause at the end of the day if your happy, your family will grow to understand that your happiness is more important then all other ( in a relationship sense ). Do not make the same mistake as me and my ex, when shit started to get bad we started loosing hope, yea obviously most of the time one of us will be strong BUT what truly tests a relationship?

In my opinion what a true test is, is when both parties boy and girl, man and woman, guy and guy, gal and gal, start to lose hope on each other at the exact same time! It happens, this kinda thing always happens and when it happens this is when you ask yourself the top 6 questions (above). Think about it, would you live the rest of your life knowing that you gave up or live that small period knowing that you tried to make things work out. Think my dear! think!

Still not getting through to you? Alright how about this. Me and my ex broke up about 1 year, 3 months and a few days ago. And since then, i haven't been the same. It's not that i can't find another someone else or what, but it's that dark feeling inside of you that swallows your heart and mind, and ruins you. You grow into a person who is short tempered, weak, numb, heartless, and just plain boring! *Your Not That Person!!* When your out with friends and family you try to wear a face to cover how you feel, and at nights, especially for the first 6-10 months you never sleep nor do you eat. It becomes so bad that you end up lying in a hospital bed fighting for your life and worse you start thinking of suicide. This is what happened to me and i have the scars to prove it.

SO! I'm not sure how much in love you are, but if you were crazy in love like i was you would know that this is some of the basic things that you want to avoid. If your gonna break up then fine, but do not kill yourself like me and many others do. The things people do for love are always insane and it hurts, believe me it hurts, BUT it's those small little things that you guys cherish together that keeps a relationship strong, little memories, places, things, etc that is small in value but everything in heart.

My advice to you babe is that you don't give up, that both of you find a common ground. When you guys go out call some friends along, make it a group thing whereas it will be more fun and less dormant on the issue when your both alone together. Give it a try! In every relationship there's always it's obstacles, learn to ride against it and not along with it. It hates to see you going through this, i know the pain and i know the feeling, your not alone. I have a friend now going through the exact same thing as you too.

You have many friends and family, if shit gets bad these are the people you turn to, cause they will help you get back on your feet initially but you will have to do the rest of the walking yourself. You have an exam on friday so i suggest you get some studying done, struggle now, push to study like i'm doing, and cry later. Or cry now, take it out and give that final exam one last go. You can do it!

Take Care

Complicated, disturbin and stressful

Well last few days has been rather unexpected with the term of events that took place. Have exams coming so i guess i won't blog so much until it's over, although i have lots of interesting posts for u readers out there =), probablly just make it into a super long posts which includes videos and pictures etc....kinda upset last few days over issues relating to frens, school, studies and stuff, luckily for me your always there, with ur emails, text and words which keeps me going, thankyou.

TC

i have a ping checker on my blog, any of you who have exams and who are reading this better go study, or else! i will know =)

Thanks

Firstly, as some of you may know, i've been retrenched of my bouncer job at PLAY/ButterFactory and as a chef at Sakura and my Freelance occupation for MOM/Beacon (supposedly). I seriously hate the economy now! bitchen! anyways i would like to take a few words to thank those who actually when to the trouble to get me some part/full-time jobs <3. Ok i must say the jobs introduced hav been over the chart upexpected, such as an art/relief teacher, event organiser, event helper, office jobs, KFC. A seriously heart felt thanks to all frens and teachers who have helped. Currently for the remainder of the yr i wanna finish my exams first then i'll focus on work. Thanks so much <3

Now that the touchy part is over, i've pretty much spent the last few days staying at home, being lazy and studying like a dog for next week's exams. Ive neglected spending time with frens and family which i totally regret =( but yea that's life, sch sux. Last few days it's study, computer, study, watch the cat all day long =_=
