俗语说：

家和万事兴，
祸不单行，
屋漏偏逢连夜雨。

中国人的俗语不是没有根据的。家无宁日，是不好受的。家不和，万事如何兴旺呢？这祸呢，也从来不独来独往，它总爱成群结队，不甘寂寞。哈哈。这祸也总选在最不如意的时候来。明明就下着雨，他偏偏就要屋顶漏水。

祸来时，有一种办法。逃。逃去那里呢？哪里都好。最糟的就是逃不了。逃不了如何是好呢？扛。扛最好是多人一起扛，所谓分工合作。这样子担子比较轻。可是，没人陪我扛，只好自己扛。

扛得腰酸背痛，最后就是瘫倒在床上。

有时候，有的担子一定要扛，有的气一定要忍。为何呢？有时候，别人的开心，就是自己的开心。

今天我用3块钱买了3小包纸巾。很贵吧？一点都不贵。因为是跟一位残疾人士买的。做了一件善事非常开心，比起他，我的担子不足挂齿。

肚子大，也不是没有用处。能装的气也比较多。哈哈。所以多吃吧，多吃吧。

Bad day

I do not know how to say y it is a bad day...because somethings just cant be put out in words...

I am proud of myself because if this same thing happened last time? I would have a different reaction...

Have you ever had a feeling where you have so much to say...but you just cant find the words to express yourself?

Food @ Yuki Yaki!! one of my fav steamboat, bbq, ice cream buffets

Ice cream at Yuki Yaki!! highly recommended..the steamboat and bbq and ice cream v good!! the ice cream is DIY one...haha..first timers will be surprised how they set up the ice cream stuff... This one is champagne flavoured...

This one is orange sherbet...i tink this is one of the best flavours...

Updates...

Went for westlife dinner on Saturday at Hougang coffeeshop...thanks hanmao for the treat...watched the portugal match at the coffeeshop after that and it was an exceptionally exciting match for mr tay kun hui...haha if that last goal was not disallowed in the 90++ min, he would have won $$...but that's soccer for you...you never know what's goin to happen until the final whistle...

I am so proud to say that I haven been snacking while watching WC since last Fri....haven been eating much too...haha...guess that will help in reducing my tummy which is getting big...staying at home is so conducive for getting fat...the bed, the tv, watching dvds etc...maybe later shall go for a run...if weather permits...rained v heavily in the wee hours of the morning....

woke up at 9am today...that is really such an unearthly hour for me...woke up to find that my professor emailed me to ask me to meet him tmr...haiz...means that i have to travel all the way to school just to meet him for 10 min...*faintz* 3 hrs of transport for 10 min of talking...really wan to ask him can we just the webcam or the phone?...but at least my dear called back in the morning which brightened up my day...

din watch the 3am match yest cos my eyes were really tired from the vigorous activity these few days...they have been seriously overworked for the past few days...yesterday was really a boring day spent at home...alone..haha how i wish a few robbers can come entertain me den maybe i can set some traps and catch them...den the police will reward me with some $$ den i will appear on tv...lol...ok that's rubbish thoughts again...

today is just like photocopy of yesterday...reading up on fyp, watch dvd, read newspaper etc...my dear went hk early fri morning...if i say i dun miss her i would be lying...for the moment shall just look forward to 29th june...time just seems to pass so slow...even watching a match for 90 mins seems watching it for 9 days...

haiz...enough of blogging....shall get back to my boring fyp...den maybe watch some tv...

it's been more than an hour...and i am still going at it....i guess it's a personal record...but it's certainly a record that i dun wan to break...

Useless....

Have a feeling of uselessness now...dunno y...feel pretty sian...but just dun feel like slping...

World cup does not seem to have it's effect anymore...

Looking into the mirror beside my computer now and I look v bad...because i am letting it go under my pillow in the backdrop of my tv...

Deja Vu

The meaning and feeling of this phrase has never been so well understood.....

In my cave....

haha if you read men are from mars and women are from venus...you shld know what the cave means...dunno y but these few days juz feel like hiding in my cave...seldom online and in anti social mode on msn...maybe it's cos of the world cup...but msn is really getting boring nowadays...so many of my frenz who i chat so well dunno disappear to where liao...guess everyone is bz with their own lives liao...

Now blasting music in my room after lunch and clearing some paperwork and poster stuff...waiting for $$ to arrive from Europe...faster come..haha..den got $ to spend liao...and as i am hiding in my cave and blogging suddenly so much memories flash pass me...good, bad, fun, sad, exciting, scary....everything....and maybe you may tink i am crazy...i am laughing when i tink of the good ones and feel sad when i tink of the sad ones....I am just one such person...who stores so much memories in my brain...and reviewing them when i feel like it...haha wonder when my brain will run out of hard disk space....

Today sneezed more than 10 times when i woke up....dunno whether is falling sick...my dear is right..late nites, eating rubbish food, no exercise means that I am falling sick soon...haha not forgetting the 3 durians i bought from geylang on Monday...haha shall eat less heaty food for the coming mth...

IT Show & Results...

Went to the IT Show for sat and sunday and practically spent an average of 6-7 hours there a day...The deals there were pretty good but I still waited for the last min to wait for the prices to drop...haha...so the first day was recce...2nd day execution...here's what I bought for me and my parents and my dear for the last 2 days...

1. 4x 1GB SD card (really good deal!)
2. 1x 32" Samsung LCD tv...(for my parents, a pity it wont be placed in my room, else can watch world cup with it)
3. 1x 512 MB Micro SD card
4. 2x HP Ink cartridge

wanted to buy a palm and waited till the last half an hour for the best deal...but in the end din buy cos of a super bad sales man...I already negotiated the price to $449 and I wanted more freebies...1 sales girl and 1 sales man was serving me...I offered them $449 +1GB Sd card...but the girl said she needed to ask her boss..

den the young guy said"...wallow...how can offer $449 +1GD Sd card" in a v bad attitude...as if is scolding me..

den he followed on with :"1GD sd card not cheap leh.."

I got abit pissed and replied: "1GD SD card v cheap la...the IT sales selling v cheaply"

sales man:"so cheap den den go buy urself la!"

km:"if you can sell me with my conditions den sell me, if you cant meet it..den dun sell la...not as if i am forcing u to sell"

den i stormed off...So much for a service oriented industry and country...I mean the golden rule for doing business..no matter wat, you shld not criticise your customer in his or her face...if you wan to scold the customer..do it behind his back....and it's a bargaining thing, if you can make the deal with me, make it, or bargain back with me...it's not as if i am begging u to sell me the palm..duh..with this kind of attitide i wont buy it no matter how much u offer me...shopping is not only abt the product but also abt the happiness of buyin the thing..if buy until so unhappy i rather dun buy...and the price will surely drop...i was really pissed by his attitude..it's the last 5 min ..he shld be the one begging me to buy...and not pissing me off...too bad...no commission for him...

Results are out...did ok this sem...the only bad thing is I got C+ for 432...it's a year 4 subject..so weightage is higher...but the others were fine...haha ask me personally if you wan to know the rest of the grades...shld be on the way for a 2nd lower or 3rd class honours provided nothing goes wrong for fyp and final year subjects...

Must start planning my timetable liao..I tink my timetable for next sem will b vvvvv bad..considering i dun have hall...muz wake up at 6am? *faintz*

Random thoughts...cant get to slp...

Actually this post is at 225am in the morning…after the phone conversation with my dear just now, I went to slp…but den somehow just cant get to slp…maybe is my suay mouth juz now when I mentioned I cant get to slp…I am tired..but somehow I cant slp..i wonder y…

And in the darkness somehow I had some thoughts going through my mind…so decided to wake up and blog this…but den somehow blogspot is down…so I wrote this in word and then posted it in the morning…

These few days have really been about earning $$….selling things on ebay…buying and selling posters…teaching tuition…researching on some investment stuff etc…haha cos need $ for so many things…for trips, for things I wan to buy and to increase my savings etc…it’s been a mad rush to do all these things and it’s really nice to rest at nite to just chat with my gf…in fact although we have been tog for almost a year now…Chatting with her is still something I look v forward to…

Now in the tranquility of the nite, suddenly have some thoughts…Sometimes the mad rush to work, earn $ etc is just like a poison to the mind…true enough, this keeps us occupied and gives us goals and rewards but at times it makes us forget what really makes us happy…And sometimes lets us forget the ppl around us…I have seen so many examples of how $ can tear a family apart, making brothers fight, and abandoning parents etc…haha I suddenly remembered what one of my uncles always say to me…$ is earned to be spent…some ppl always earn $ and keep it until their death…in the end the bank pass book has 7 digits but they nv use it at all…haha…as they always say…shen bu dai lai si bu dai qu…saving is a virtue but I always believe in money that can buy happiness is well spent…that is because happiness does not always have a price…

Haha but pls dun withdraw all your $ out and spend it all on the GSS and say kaimin said on his blog that you should spend all your $$…that’s not wat I meant…savings and spending should be balanced and $ shld be spent in such a way so that it makes u or your loved ones happy..personally, spending the $ on my loved ones is much much much more enjoyable than spending it on myself..i wonder y..if given a certain amt of $ and I can only either buy something for my loved ones or myself…my choice would definitely be my loved ones without even thinking…

Finally bought myself a new hp yesterday and I like it v much…my old hp cmi liao..keep turning off by itself…I pondered at the hp shop for super long on whether to buy the hp… finally decided to reward myself for my efforts in the poster business…though I still have many things that I want to buy…but shall shelf them all until next semester at least…saving up for something else now…hehe…*to myself: only window shopping at tmr’s IT show*

Also finally got the job as a turn inspector at the national swimming competitions…really wanted to find some part time jobs that was not on a regular basis since exams ended but could not find…thought initially could work at the IT show but in the end it was a disappointment…was looking forward to working there and looking at the exhibition for 4 days and even avoid the crowd…but ren suan bu ru tian suan...but nvm finally can earn some extra cash at the swimming competition…the pay is not bad too…

Haha my thoughts are really random when I cant slp…and this is really a random post…another thought: I had another funny thought when I was lying on the bed just now..or rather flipping..as an only child..i tink many ppl will tink I am spoiled by my parents and given all the attention in the world by them and I muz be super xing fu that I dun have any siblings to compete with…

Actually that’s not really true…honestly, it’s not really that fun or xing fu to be an only child…In good times, you get spoiled by your parents or you dun need to share things with siblings or you dun need to quarrel with siblings or you get what you want…that’s what ppl always see only…but ppl tend to forget the bad times…what happens to the only child when the parents quarrel? Or when the family is not in such a good state? Did ppl even give a thought that the child has to take all this S**T himself or herself? He or she does not even have someone to talk to when his parents are at war…And there are some things I am sure children do not share with their parents…so where does an only child store these thoughts? 2 possibilities: Friends or they simply keep it to themselves..And some of these thoughts are personal, or only understood by closed ones..so in the end it will end up in their stomach…den in the end maybe end up as German gas…oops…If I had a choice..i would really want a brother or a sister...i am so envious of ppl who have siblings since I was young..but too bad for me..i nv had this chance…

I tink being an only child I developed some bad habits also…Tink my gf will know I actually can remember what ppl said in the exact words even quite some time ago…I can remember who said what at what event v clearly…actually I nv purposely went to memorise what ppl say…it jus comes natural to me…my only explanation for this is that when I interact wif ppl, I pay so much attention n focus to them…and the reason for this is that I only have my 4 walls to focus on when I am at home…

But I must admit I am v fortunate…I have great parents who I can talk well with but of cse there are a lot of stuff I still keep to myself..the main reason is that I dun wan to add to their worries…I also have some great frenz like westlife etc who I know are always there..and of cse not forgetting my wonderful gf…

After almost 24 years of my life, I experienced some really big ups and downs in my life. Actually my life is not that smooth sailing as it seems on the surface. Only my closest will know what actually happened…Maybe I will always say I want a xbox, a pda, a new hp or hope to earn big bucks in my business or score many many many Apple trees but actually deep down in my heart to me, nothing beats a nice chat and a listening ear...it’s always nice to have ppl who care for you, show concern for you, remember you and give their attention to you…that’s y I am always super happy when ppl surprise me with things that I din expect they would remember…

Wallow..i typed 2 full pages in word liao..cant believe it…if you dun understand what I am saying..no worries...haha I am also abit blur after typing so much…it’s just a place for me to crap what I am thinking…

Time to get back to slp…*hopefully*
