doing the night shift again tonight. got my final roleplay
in the afternoon. all the months of training boils down
to this exam. brought home some fishes for mummy last night
and she was ecstatic. made a new friend and chatted with
him for quite a bit of time. guess i don't really have such
a difficult time making friends, except i have to be very
careful who i befriend. downloaded "lushlife", john coltrane
and johnny hartman's version, from kazaa last night and
listening to it now. very "loungey". |

team leader did a call review yesterday and i flunked it.
i was toooo eager to please the customer and failed to do
some routine checks and even advised wrongly. was sooo demoralised.
the whole day passed and i barely answered 50 calls. very
very lousy performance. *sigh* |

received a hateful letter from someone in the past. reading
it, i can imagine how badly he wants to move on, but how
wrong it is to manipulate his own thoughts to make it go
his way. isn't life sad? anyway, updated the page down below.
there is a cat link that showcases my notti little kittens.
check it out ya?

is a flaw in someone, you have to be the one to fill up

alright now. i am getting the hang of things at work already.
though i talk so much i might actually lose my voice soon.
hahaha. been thinking about the kind of partner i want
for long term. maybe i'll leave points here now and then.
whoever fulfils all the criterias, please email me as
soon as possible.
1.
has to be independant, but need to be close to me at times.
makes me feel free yet wanted.
2. must NOT be pencil thin ala calista flockhart. scary

easter is a day for miracles, and a miracle i have received.
my laptop is revived! it has suddenly come back to life!
and my documents are all intact! but the problem now is
that the battery doesn't seem to be charging. not even right
now. the system says its charging, the battery works but
the damn system is not charging the battery! no idea why...
maybe i have to send it for troubleshooting still. money
down the drain. |

1137hrs
believe it or not, i spilt my drink onto my laptop and
it died. am now waiting for the people from dell to come
and pick it up for repairs. just pray that its not going
to be the motherboard that needs replacing, else i'll have
to fork out a tonne of moolah to get it fixed. this is a
real bad year for electronics. mobile phone, digital camera
and laptop all died. shitty!
changed music back to beautiful. still love this song. |

you are viewing the page, let me know please. your feedback

its been quite a long time since I’ve updated this log.
Been migrating over from my desktop over to this laptop
system. Need to get frontpage installed on this system
or might need to learn how to use dreamweaver for this
page. Who knows, another revamp?
in any case, here are some
updates:
i) feeling broke as usual, spent money on a wireless network
but my Ethernet modem doesn’t work. Waiting for my next
pay to fully set up the wireless internet access.
ii) falling in love again. Maybe this one is the one?
Might be going on a trip soon enough
iii) feeling like I’m falling ill soon. Work perhaps?
Stressful enough. Very very tiring. Need to get a nice
break soon. Sometime in may…
iv) family all doing well…
v) still no news from digimaster when I can get my stupid
digital camera back. Those imbeciles.

so tired out by work the last few days, havent been able
to make any updates here. had an enjoyable night last
night with my dear friend claudia. celebrated her birthday
and spent a fortune. but i'm happy cause she was really
happy with the present i got for her. anyway, listening
to leslie cheung's album now. very sad that someone so
talented had to leave this way. god bless his soul.

met my baby up for dinner with her best pal and her bf. nice
couple they are. but there seems to be something wrong with
my behaviour tonight. was super super cautious about what
i was doing the whole night. i think i behaved a little weird.
1. firstly, the first sentence i said was too soft, so it
seemed like i was mumbling.
2. then when her friend made a joke, i just reacted a little
too enthusiastically.
3. then after that i was just plain quiet the whole night.
i think i behaved a little too "anti-social" tonight,
but i was just plain being my quiet self again. think i'm
too pre-occupied with how others see me, as usual.
then i sent my baby home cause she needs to get up early to
go to work tomorrow. then her ex-bf calls and starts doing
his "self victimising" routine again. i told her
to just send his stuff back and let him settle his own issues
with himself and to just ignore him as all this is making
her upset. she does not have to upset herself with his pitiful
self. he's just a sad sad sad sad pathetic excuse for a guy.
read my dear pal gale's blog today. she's very upset cause
her dog is in the hospital, partly due to the lack of care
by her ex-gf. i hope her doggie gets well. |

this is the life...
sipping on a hennessy with soda, listening to retro pop hits,
doing my homepage update...
i was out just now because the day was too beautiful to be
wasted at home watching tv. took my camera out for a walk
and took some pictures along the way. went down to my baby's
place to pass her the whistle she needed for school. the new
pictures are updated under random pics. you can see my favourite
cars, the place i want to live in and the blue blue sky that
i love so much. the tree picture looks pretty nice too. comment

la di da. another boring day. well its way better than rushing
to work and dealing with unreasonable strangers the whole
day long. i really feel sympathy for my colleagues who are
stuck with their jobs still. its really not an easy job.
was watching a discovery channel program this morning. its
fascinating what robots can do these days. from single limbed
robots that hop to move forward to 2 legged robots who can
walk up and down stairs. absolutely fascinating!
was also organising my favourites this morning. i didn't know
you can create folders in the links toolbar that expand like
a menu while being clicked on the toolbar. boredom does let
you realise interesting things you never knew.
anyway, i'm not going to create the wap site anymore. it seems
like its more difficult than i though. the editor isn't as
easy to grasp as i thought. i'll probably just post them all
up here and then provide an address for those who want to
download them to access the file. its easier that way. at
least for me.
also, archived the april logs into the archives. think i'll
just keep 2 months worth of logs on the main page at any time
so that the loading time will be shorter.
my aunt is watching this hongkong series on tv right now.
and the story is about this father leaving his family for
another guy. now he's thinking of getting back to his family
because of his son. interesting that such a story can be done
on tv nowadays. |

hello folks, i'm back from my little mediterranean escapade.
no i did not go to the mediterranean, just went to for a 3
day break with my baby. it was money well spent i must say.
feeling rather relaxed now.
during the break, we went to watch "finding nemo"
and "charlie's angels 2: full throttle". both shows
were alright, nemo was very moving and CA2 was just filled
with hot cars and bodies. demi moore looks like she's overloaded
on botox though.
we had plenty of nice meals. ate at modestos, california pizza
kitchen and club chinois. anyway, i bought a nice travel scrabble
set and 2 sponge bob squarepants figurines for my sister.
got this GT magazine commemorating 40 years of the porsche
911.
here's a nokia wallpaper for finding nemo fans. made it myself...
was thinking of setting up a wap site for people to download
the wallpapers via csd or gprs wap... to be in the pipeline
that's us
i smile with too much teeth.
that's my baby trying to figure out what word to make for
scrabble. did not take many pictures as my baby is rather
camera shy. |

bloody bloody pissed with valerie. minutes before i leave
the company, she springs some pissed up shit load about me
breeaching my contract. wat the fuck has she to say about
it? my contract clearly states i finish my job on 30th of
june and i used my leave entitlement for the last few days
of work because i want to have a short rest before i start
my school. everything is approved and everyone happily shook
my hand, offering well wishes to me. and that fucking bitch
has to spoil everything! blood fucked up bitch! anyway i've
left, signed over everything, returned all my notes, my security
pass, key to my locker. everything has been settled. AND SHE
HAS TO RUIN MY HAPPY MOMENT! hope she gets bazillion escalations
for customers who will insult her again and again and again.

feeling bored again. today was at work clearing up my stuff,
getting ready to hand over my possessions and leave the
horrendous workplace. its been a great learning experience,
finding out "behind-the-scenes" operations of
a call center. however, i also get to see the really ugly
side of singaporeans. reminds me of a story an officer once
told us back in NS.
this major, who is a regular in the army, was waiting for
a cab in the morning to go to work. he waits and waits,
and when he was about to get to hail one down, an inconsiderate
idiot just goes before him, and gets the cab instead. now
his question was whether its people like this that he was
protecting?
my question is, are the customers
that i have assisted worth the trouble? it may be a job
but the least they can do when they are getting help is
at least be courteous, or the least polite. they can call
in and ask for help extending some debt that they have,
and when we say we'll try to help, they just hang up without
even saying thanks. are most of us brought up with no manners
at all? is this how a gracious society is supposed to behave?
renaissance city vision? dream on PAP!
my team leader talked to me before i knocked off coz she
won't be around tomorrow to do clearance for me. one point
she brought up was that once u're in this line, u become
a more demanding person in terms of customer service. its
very true. in the past, i suppose i'm more of the "anything
goes" kind of customer. now i expect quite a bit from
whoever is serving me. even though i may have complaints
about service, i just comment it to my friends, cause i
know how their jobs are like.

a sunday night, after work, staying in at home. today was
rather boring, but yesterday was rather alright. was out
with my baby the whole day, helping our teacher ms G pack
her glassware for the big SERS move. watched "inner
sense" by leslie cheung, his last movie before his
sad sad departure. was a pretty good movie i must say. its
very sad to see how he was acting in the show, cause you
never know was he actually feeling the same way before he
killed himself. could it be that making the movie that triggered
something down inside that pushed him over the edge?
anyway, its only 2 days to go before i stop
this job. then i'll be taking a really short holiday with
my baby. 3days and 2 nights to be exact. hide somewhere
quiet and just try to relax a bit before i go cuckoo. school
starts on 7th of July.
anyway, relationship update. its been a really sweet experience.
she's really sweet, and i'm just plain happy that i'm in
this relationship this time. maybe its just nice to feel
loved, after being swindled for so long. its a beautiful
experience and i can only try to make it better everyday.
pity for the idiot who lost her because of the mistakes
he made.

tension headaches are back again. haven't had them since junior
college. went to the polyclinic to get an mc coz i was feeling
so uncomfortable last night and this morning. well the reason
i'm feeling joy is that i finally got to spend some quality
time with my mother today. these days everyone's working and
dealing with their own jobs, don't have much time for one
another. I went out with my mummy to the polyclinic today,
then we went around toa payoh central looking for a possible
pair of funky specs for myself. ended up going for a haircut
at united square, back to the short army-ish hairdo i used
to have. took my mum to noodle hut for some very tasty noodles
and dim sum. and right now, enjoying a little cabernet sauvignon
syrah with her. well, she's talking on the phone and i'm typing
this in my room. life is so much happier when its simple. |

feeling good about myself today. after work, i was waiting
for a cab at park mall mrt station. there was this lady
who was also waiting for a cab after me. i was actually
thinking of letting her have my cab if it arrives. but it
never did. then she asked if she could borrow my phone to
call for a cab, but i offered to call for her instead. her
son was falling asleep (quite a big kid, probably arnd 2).
i realised that doing this job that i do, i see too much
of the ugly side of people. the unreasonable, the irresponsible,
the demanding and the ungrateful. if only people were more
grateful when people do something nice for them, life would
be so much better. rather than getting jaded about the whole
situation in life, i'd rather do the opposite. so let's
all do a good deed today and spread a little love to someone
else.
what the world needs now... is love, sweet love... |

well here i am writing again. eating some under seasoned instant
noodles, doing laundry, watching MTV, drinking cold water.
just bumped into my primary school classmate, who i saw last
night also. just found out that a whole bunch of them are
overseas doing degrees, she herself is doing a masters this
year. smart smart smart people. its so difficult to keep in
contact with old friends. i think i'll put out some pictures
from my old schools in the future.
my poor little sister is working late again. she's doing a
7 day job in customer service also. hope she gets enough sleep.
i know i don't.
and thankfully, the fishes are all still alive. seems like

now this is my home network setup.
and this is the mess i call my workstation.
check out these monsters. power grid is doing something to
the substation downstairs so there's supposed to be power
outtages in the block today. so far so good. worrying thing
is the pumps for the aquarium may stop functioning, and if
they take too long, my mum's precious babies will all "float"

just came back from my last team outing with the billing team.
had a sumptuous dinner at rice table indonesian restaurant.
and it was so nice of them to get for me this pen with my
name engraved on it. seems like everytime i leave somewhere,
i get a nice pen to bring along. anyway, i'm collecting my
camera tomorrow. hopefully its a replacement set. i cannot
stand it dying on me everytime. 1 more time and i'm going
straight to CASE to make a report. selling low quality electronics.
if i can get the camera to work, i'll post pictures of my
car model and also the pen and card they got me. so much for
tonight! off day tomorrow! |

ok... so far the response for the new page is pretty good.
i myself think its one of the best designed pages i've done
so far. anyway, seems like i have not been updating all about
my life religiously these days, so here are some of the points
that I've missed out so far...
1. porsche singapore actually sent me a mail (i'm on the mailing
list!) for an invitation to go for some porsche event held
in sepang f1 race track over the weekend in july. tempted
as i am, the price and my barely half year old driver's license
is telling me, maybe go for the year 2020 one...
2. my mum's luohans died this morning, think 3 of them...
3. granny is here for the time being and will be returning
to indonesia over the weekend, mum would probably be sending
her back. time to plan for duty free purchases!
4. going to be ending my work on the 24th of june and prepare
myself for poly life starting 30th june 2003. still wondering
how i'm doing to adjust to study life again. but for sure
its going to be much better than working for ungrateful singaporeans...
5. still broke even after working for so so long. hopefully
i can save a little of the last 2 pays up. pathetic isnt it? |

ladies and gentlemen, presenting the newly updated version
5 of twelve. the content more or less stays the same but the
layout has been updated. seems alright right? laid out all
my pictures on the right for everyone to see. just need to
click on it for the bigger version of the file. will also
be updating new pictures as soon as the ASSHOLES FROM DIGIMASTER
get my camera fixed...
went to the PC show over the weekend, got pushed and shoved
and temperature measured using some nifty infrared imaging
device. was rather disappointed so went to funan centre instead
and bought a new optical mouse and an LED light to shine on
the keyboard when i'm editing my page and chatting with my
baby at night.
added a link to Bizarro
on the top. If you look at the strait times, you'll find it
in the daily comics. This is the coloured version of the comics
you see. I swear it is the best comic I've seen in a long
time. You must look at it also if you can afford the time.
so let me know what you think of the new layout. just drop
a message into the free guestbook. cheers! |

have a few updates today so here goes...
firstly, i'm proud to announce that my baby and i are now
officially together. she's none other than my jc classmate
caiying. actually the flirtations have already started back
then but nothing ever came out of it. partly cause she went
on and gotten attached to someone and so did i. here's our
recent picture together...me looking very bad and the lighting
was really very lousy... so try not to be too critical alright?
anyway, things are going fine, rather unbelievable that
we got together after so long seperated after school ended...
been watching rurouni kenshin these few days and am
totally hooked on it right now. haha. even have his picture
as my handphone wallpaper now. listening to quite a bit
of hip hop music these days. need to get the coolness back
in me before i go to poly or the kiddos will mock me there.
don't want to be some fuddy duddy uncle there. got myself
a cheap new wallet that's rather classy. too bad my damn
camera is still there so i can't take any pictures of it
and post it here. was out today and saw the alfa romeo 156
sportswagon at suntec city today. love it. love it so so
damn much. tomorrow the lottery will be announced. if i
win the top prize, i will run out and get it immediately.
and if god allows for me to win the lottery top prize, i
promise to build a school in east timor. i swear. i so freaking
swear i will do good with a big chunk of the winnings. anyway,
here's the picture of kenshin that i have on my handphone.
if you use a nokia phone, you can just save the image and
transfer it to your phone.
and finally, the gorgeous alfa romeo 156 sportswagon

individual poems on the main box on the right. they may
seem rather naive, cause all of them were written back in

oh what a tiring day it is... though I didn't do much today,
felt like i was losing my voice so requested not to take
any calls today. all i did today was print bills and sending
them out. haha. this SARS thing is really starting to scare
people. a colleague was sent home coz the doc thinks she's
got symptoms showing...come to think of it... i'm showing
the difficulty breathing, mild flu symptoms, bodyaches..

my parfum stinks. but i think the world of it. getting a
little jaded with the work i'm involved with. quite sad
actually. last night someone called and told me her daughter
was unable to contact them as her phone was blocked from
making calls cause they did not pay the bills. the daughter
was admitted to hospital. wonders what this whole job is
really about. service? or dis-service? |

morning has broken... working the late shift again... sent
my camera for servicing as i found dead pixels in the images
taken, probably due to the CCD having problems. told the
guy from sales i wanted a new replacement set and he told
me i can only get it in the first week of april. how sad.
back to technologically backwards life... |

some pictures. from now on, the galleria will feature pictures i have taken. found an old
site of mine is still online. found my old poems that i
used to write. will sort them out and post them online.first
problem noted with my digicam. seeing some dead pixels from
the ccd on the images. white spots can be found. to get
it fixed or replaced soon. |

went down to the IT show 2003 today and bought a $388 digital
camera. 3.3megapixe, 3x optical zoom, 64mb compact flash
card. pretty good for this price! hahahaha. updated my sister's
birthday pictures on the left side. pictures were actually
taken using a polaroid camera, hence the poor resolution.
if it was the new camera, heh, would have been waaaay clearer.
very high resolution ok!

so sleepy. went out for supper wif a nice guy and stayed
out till around 1am. i have this strange ability to make
people around me feel comfortable and happy. come to think
of it, i wonder who will be the one that will make me feel
comfortable and happy in time to come? someone suggested
myself, but i'm a person that needs someone else. probably
will not end up alone. just hope i get the right one! |

today is the 1 month and 8 days anniversary of my new found
bachelorhood. life has been rather calm and peaceful these
days. met up with some new people, nice people. however,
there is not yet an urge to jump back into a relationship.
i guess i am still going through the recovery period. so
those interested out there, there may be hope yet. |

the work really piled up today. so much to follow up on

wedding dinner at the conrad centennial. posh place. food
was pretty good. some pretty people at the banquet too.

someone... someone hates me alot! bet he doesn't realise
that all this is just going to ruin himself, not me. ha! |

morning people. i can barely get enough sleep these days
with the night shifts and the errands to run. plus the driving
test is coming up, so tired from rushing here and there.
have to go take photo for my driver's license later and
then try to get my watch back from the dealer's outlet.
ah yes... an update. my wisdom tooth is perpendicularly
pushing my molar...means i have to spend $400 on dental
surgery sooner or later. sucks huh!
to a particular person
who might be reading this page, just remember, you'll never
be forgiven, especially after your hate mail, because you
will never become a better person with the way you're treating
the experience. i gave u the chances to change yourself,
but you failed to. and now you're just making it worse.
enjoy your life. |

my team leader just called me to do OT today. i just refused
cause i've got a night of love planned with my baby. work
isn't all that important now that i've got someone to waste
my time on now. work comes secondary. think i would be one
of those people you would consider "love is more important
than bread". i think to a certain extent that is very
true. probably a rather romanticised notion of "without
love, what's there to live for?" anyway, besides my family,
my baby, here's the 3rd in line for the "lennel's love
awards"

my baby bought me a porsche 911 carrera4s model 2 days
back and i tried to turn on my camera to take a picture of
it so I can put it here on the log for everyone to see. i
didn't even tell her which model i wanted and she got the
exact model that i was looking for. how sweet can this get!
But can you bloody hell believe it? my stupid camera died
again! i went down to the office again at parkway parade yesterday
(12th floor, they also distribute taiwanese pop singers' record,
make a guess) and handed over the dead camera that would not
retract its lenses. heck, it won't even start up now. the
sales fella know what a difficult customer i am and said,
"ok i'll try to get a replacement for you first."
he had better!
anyway, the wireless network is coming along fine. so are
my daydreams of striking the june lottery next week and buying
a mini one or honda jazz to drive me, my family and my baby
around. it would definitely be in red. manual perhaps. but
it would be so much fun to drive around. i'm starting to have
dreams every night of driving driving driving. its fast becoming
an obsession! maybe for my poly projects, i'll end up doing
stuff about cars cars and more cars. what's next? oh ya. i
also need to find an aquarium or display case maker that can
make a glass case for my model car. wonder where can i find
one. if u do, email me! |

You are Persephone, from "The Matrix."

well people, if you still are insterested in what's going
on with my life, here's the update. same thing still goes
on: work work work work work. however, the bitterness is balanced
off by the sweet. i'm with someone again :). only thing is
that its not official yet because there are some commitment
issues that have yet to be ironed out. so till then, her identity
will be kept secret until everything is settled. even though
i say that, i'm still pretty much happy with the relationship.
at least i am cared for now. not in the kept boy sense, but
emotionally i have someone to fall back on. its just so nice
to have someone to hold and just think about nothing else.
life is good isn't it? |
19-5-2003
1522hrs
i have decided. i am not going to let my head rule over my
heart this time round. i like her and i will go for it, if
it feels right, it must be right. so tonight we are all going
on a trip to the asian civilisation museum (again, but thanks
to terrence for the complimentary passes!) and i am going
to tell her i will go after her. who cares if it will hurt
eventually. it may and it may not. but that's how life is,
and it shall be. i will make myself happier no matter what,
and even if i'm broke i shall stay happy cause life is too
short for that. if i am positive, everything will be positive.
and life will definitely turn for the better. it can only
get better, since i have gone to the bottom of it all. long
live happiness! |

now yesterday was quite a confusing day for me. first i went
to watch the matrix reloaded with a female friend of mine
from back sometime. well the movie effects was great but all
the talk was very confusing (that matrix architect fella).
so that's one. then me and that friend went drinking and ended
up sharing a bottle of red wine in a park on a hot night.
no we did not do the do. we just ended up kissing. horrible
thing is, it just made me feel the need to get into a relationship
more. its the need to feel wanted that's driving me nuts.
i fall in and out of love easily. i think i might just do
that again this time round. |

1734hrs
ho hum how boring life goes on and on with nothing special
to brighten it all up or lighten its load. anyway, the galleria
now has pictures of my big family gathering at my aunt's place.
look out for my little cousin sherman. he is just so adorable!
anyway, i think its high time i accept my status as "single
man for a long time to come" i guess it could just be
due to the age thing that i'm feeling so weird about singlehood
right now, especially after such a long period of relationships.
in any case, after achieving my first goal, which is to pass
my driving test, i have set my 2nd major goal in life. i will
own a porsche 911 one day. my first tiny step towards that
goal is to buy either the official porsche leather wallet
or the enamel keychain of the porsche logo to remind myself
of this goal. watch out for which one i finally get! haha |

well... lets see... the laptop finally came back. and
my bank account is as empty as my love life! i am so adjusting
to my singlehood that it may scare some people. how sad it
is. well i've sent in my enrolment application for temasek
polytechnic already. lets see if anything goes wrong from
here. i think i will be able to do well for this course cause
its something that i may like. i wonder how the people will
be like there. its been so long since i've been in a school
environment. hope it all goes well. i also got a haircut and
it sucks! now its like some punkish kid tryinig to look grungy.
now i really look like a poly kiddo. sucks! |

well here is the situation in life. i'm single, available,
have a fear to commit (as per the emode.com analysis), broke
(coz i just spent a grand fixing my laptop), chatting profusely
with strangers, getting fed up with customers, feeling rather
disappointed in life. but somehow, i still feel pretty good!
maybe its just a phase but singlehood is proving to be rather
soothing to the mind. never mind that i am broke now, pay
will still come in. school will eventually start soon. gadgetry
wise, i'm pretty much having all the stuff that i need, for
now. i've got my driver's license (something i promised myself
before i die). all i need now is better hair and body and
i'm pretty much set to live life as free as i want to be!
haha |

0947hrs
well the pay came in. can finally arrange for payment
for the laptop repairs. went to the ancient civilisations
museum and had a fascinating tour of the place. updated the

myself as a background. stupid rite? hahaha |

gd day mates. ok i'm not feeling all that well right now.
feeling a little ill still and all the pills have run out.
i need sedatives...
went to check on prices of my text books today. the graphics
program books cost 80bucks and the graphics design book costs
60. all the other texts i have borrowed from aron my fwend,
so that saved me a bunch.
and my sister is getting the ipod. her bf has received his
gratuity after leaving the army and will pay for the ipod.
thankfully. i offered to pay $150 for it, now i can save that
for textbooks. getting poorer and poorer. need to save for
an external cdrw drive. wonder can find 2nd hand ones...
met up with my baby this afternoon and went to funan to get
some stuff. poor baby is so tired out. i luv her so much.
probably get to see her again on sunday.
anyway, there will be a period of "non-activity"
for this blog coz i'll be backing up all the stuff and wait
for the ibook to come and move over. once the other system
is ready, then i'll start updating again. probably one gigantic
chunk at once. the system might come in about 3 weeks time.
so juz hang on yaar! |
09-07-2003 1723hrs
feeling sleepy now coz the medication
is taking effect again. have decided to get the ibook for
the course. think its a good buy considering we're paying
lower than the RRP. difference about 300 bucks. they're offering
the ipod at discounted price too. wonder if i should get that
one too.
that's the hottie i'm getting. G3 800mhz, 256MB ram,12"
screen. Airport card. now the headache is migrating all my
stuff over from one system to another. think i'll use the
network to transfer files. wonder if the systems will see
one another. hrmmm.
had media and society lecture today. interesting topic. mass
communications. history of media blah blah blah. if i wasn't
so drugged out, i would have absorbed more info. good enuff
for now. graphics design fundamentals tomoro. i will most
probably love it.
today is baby's convocation. but poor her has to get back
to school to work cause the miserly school admin will not
give an off day for such a joyous occasion. fucked up school
system. fucked up education system.

Emode Flavour Test:
Playful Passion Fruit
Sunny, carefree, and a little
bit of a prankster at times — your playful, passionate
attitude is like a tropical paradise everyone wants to visit.
You're definitely an original, unfazed by what others might
think of your choices and ambitions. And that's a rare trait,
my friend. In fact, it probably explains why so many of
your pals are drawn to you. Well, that and your ability
to have a good time with a real zest for life!
Your easygoing personality
is also a welcome refreshment in the workplace. Must be
because you refuse to sweat the small stuff. Or maybe it's
your knack for keeping the big picture in mind while making
sure things stay upbeat and on track. This confidence will
take you far, if you so choose. But on the other hand, we
wouldn't be surprised to see you close up shop and set sail
for sunnier horizons. After all, life's too short to spend
in a cubicle. And we think that upbeat attitude deserves
a warm climate. |
08-07-2003 1522hrs
went down to techlink at kaki bukit to find the IBM service
centre. didn't take me too long to find the place. wanted
to get the y-cable for the old thinkpad but they did not have
stock for over the counter sale. so i had to order one. and
now they say its going to take about 1-2weeks. my cousin would
have gone back by then.
still contemplating my ibook purchase. although the price
is very attractive, considering the configuration, the long
term financial outlay is going to be one big problem. not
as if i'm that filthy rich, or the "financier" is
still backing us. i don't want to go begging for a laptop,
neither do i want to burden my mum. oh the dilemma the dilemma.
anyway, have to go buy new textbooks for the gfx software
classes, essgra as the senior calls it.
starting to get to know some of my classmates. today had our
matric cards encoded with special access to the mac lab so
that's a plus. managed to go through all of my classmates'
matric cards, so that was fun. had to wait and wait for about
2 hrs plus coz we were the 3rd class. anyway didn't go for
lunch and so right now i'm eating campbells minestrone soup
for lunch. going to eat my left over crispy pork knuckle again
for dinner. going to eat it with mustard this time round.
wonder how it'll taste like. going to drink my hoegaarden
tonight coz tomoro classes start late. haha! |
07-07-2003 2140hrs
feeling much better today. think the drugs worked well. anyway,
decided not to get the palm after all. waste of money. emailed
the mac company checking how much if i customised the system,
minus all the extra software they're throwing in. i think
a mac system will really do well for me. always wanted a mac
anyway. this course is the only course that handles mac systems.
went for my first lecture today. quite alright. was supposed
to be 2 hrs long but 1 hr was spent doing administrative work.
filling up of forms and such. collected my ez link card today.
then went to the mac lab to take a look. pretty cool place.
all G4s with 15" studio displays. orgasmiccccc
met up with my baby in town later on. had a drink at spinelli's
with aron, then everyone came back to my place for dinner.
bought a huge pork knuckle but never did finish it. too big.
well tomorrow there's essential gfx software lecture early
at 8am. have to wake up at around 7. my baby sez i cannot
complain that i have to wake up early because she has to wake
up at 5 to get to school. stupid MOE had to post her to some
ulu kampung primary school instead of one near her place.
stupid system. |

hi dideli ho again! still on medication and still as drowsy.
changed the font into a bigger one cause my baby complained
that its too small. changed the colour scheme to a more neutral
one so that the pictures stand out a little more. added more
of my bookmarks here so that if i lose my bookmarks on the
laptop at least i'll have a backup online. does look a little
better bigger right? |
06-07-2003
1418hrs
hi dideli ho neighbours! ok. a little too jovial for most,
but its rare that i'm so. the excuse i have for today is
i'm on medication. happy medication. not prozac. just stuff
that makes me drowsy. i'm happy when i'm drowsy. makes me
relaxed. i'm very rarely relaxed. and its such a nice day
today.
anyway, i told my baby sister that i needed a mac for school
and she offered to pay for it. so sweet of her. but nah,
i don't think we will get one for now. i will see how things
go along. may not need it after all. trying to fix the thinkpad
for my cousin so she can bring it back and play her pokemon
games at home. i think i'll go try for some bursary and
see how much i can get. i remember my sister got a $1000
bursary once. that should cover a whole chunk of the ibook
if i need to get it eventually. which reminds me i need
to pick up some bursary forms in school tomorrow. some seniors
have said that it might be difficult to work cross platforms
cause the formatting of the documents might screw up. that's
one thing to consider when rushing to meet a deadline.
my baby came over yesterday to keep me company after her
school yesterday. so sweet of her too. we just laid around
watching vcds. watched "hero" again and went through
my snoopy vcds. so nice to be ill and watching your old
cartoon vcds. i love my baby.
managed to source a 2nd hand palm Vx for $100. that should
be good enuff as an organiser. i tried switching back to
paper organisers but just couldn't do it. tried to use the
phone organiser but its too troublesome. hopefully the Vx
doesn't die halfway.
seems like after the orientation, i've stood out a little.
many people actually remember " the tall one"
from CMM. not very good to be so "outstanding"
so soon. difficult for me to run away from events now. still
haven't decided what CCA i want to join. maybe just join
my old friend aron in his press group. do some graphics
and stuff. that should be senang enough. if not i might
be interested in joining the archery group... get some action
in my curdling blood again.
peace be with you. ommmmmmmmmmm...

morning peeps. u can
see that i'm grumpy, but its just a little. why? well yesterday
i went for my diploma orientation. there was a little bit
of a drizzle in the morning and then the whole day was spent
in the air con lecture theatre. so i caught a cold! was sneezing
the while day through, from talks to games. miserable miserable
miserable. now my nose is all stuffed up and i have a horrible
cough. phlegm and all.
got my timetable for the semester. seems rather alright. only
packed day is on thursday from 9 to 1pm non stop lessons.
longest day would be friday... till 7pm... but its alright.
at least i'll be learning stuff that i already am playing
around with. they are encouraging purchases of of mac based
systems for our course. but i cannot afford another mac system.
i already have a pc laptop. i wonder if its alright. at most
i'll just use their systems in school. or maybe i'll go look
at 2nd hand mac systems on sale now. *sigh* if only i saved
more money. |
03-07-2003 1002hrs
woke up crying again. had this really really long dream that
started out like i was back in NS, then back in JC, then i
woke up.
That wasn't so bad. Then after going back to sleep, it was
this back to the future sort of dream where i went back into
the past of my mum's family to save someone and then came
back to the "not so" present to see that everything
has been settled but i ended up crying because someone was
still killed in the past bla bla bla. the last scene i can
remember from the dream is that i started crying in my mum's
lap when i finally found her in the present time. and then
when i woke up, i was really tearing and had that sort of
breathlessness when you cried a lot. i had this feeling that
i was distanced from my family alot, but i usually am the
one that's always putting the family as priority.
i wonder why i keep having such long storylike dreams these
days. overactive imagination or my mind trying to tell me
something? i really need to get some dreamless sleep soon
or else i'd really crack one day. maybe i should go get some
lorezepam again. |
03-07-2003 0013hrs
yo pple, just had a nice outing tonight with my ma, sis and
our indonesian cousin christina. updated the latest family
pics with some pictures from our litle outing. went to marina
square arcade, shopping centre then to the esplanade and the
merlion for some photo taking. christina is rather camera
shy yaar.
here are some more pictures...
........
on the left: was down at far east plaza just now, so got myself
a new handphone cover. transparent black. very nice yaar?
on the right: saw this advert in the local papers today while
reading at my aunt's place in the afternoon. very creative
indeed! poor baby though.
the 2 pictures on top were taken by my sister. very well done
i must say. maybe now she'll ask to borrow my camera more
often. die... |
02-07-2003 1100hrs
die. starting to have recurring dreams of school life again.
had a horrific dream of O levels examinations in the old victoria
school building. i think all these will build up to the major
nervous attack on friday. poly orientation! i wonder can i
sneak out half way through the orientation.
called up dbs last night when i found out that for my escapade
holiday, the amount was deducted from my mastercard and yet
another amount was still on hold for the same thing. they
referred me to the hotel which i called. the nice lady from
the reception said she will fax in to the bank to release
the amount by today. i think that's pretty good customer service,
yaar?
anyway, tonight will be family dinner night. will be taking
ah-bee, my little indonesian cousin, out for nice dinner.
will probably be putting up the new photographs here tonight
or tomorrow. hmm... the page is getting too image loaded.
moved some of the older pictures over to the archived page... |

went out with andrew this afternoon for some grocery shopping
and dinner. he brought his camera along and took photos of
almost everything. much like what i usually do. added our
"finest" picture under my friends pics area. here
are some more...
i find that i'm getting very "digitally vain". touched
up most of the pictures here. see less pimple scars... aesthetically
more pleasing. haha
towards marina square from suntec city
dinner main course. guo tie and sweet and sour soup
me being camera shy again
on the train back, if only my skin was that way. hahaha |
