Beautiful dream, ugly awakening

Just got back from PA after wushu practice for a performance in April. I have to say that all the physical work done tonight was equal or more than a month's worth of exercise that I have been doing for the past months.

This morning I had a very beautiful dream, how I wish it was reality. Oh well... Unfortunately, I was awaken by the noisy lift renovations for the opposite block. I tried to get back into the dream, which I did, but it was interrupted with constant knocking sounds. In the end, I gave in and woke up at 9+.

I have had this sort of dreams for a few times, not going to discuss about the content, although its not real but it does light up my day.Haha...

Anyway, the other day I tried to sell some books to a second hand bookstore. I wanted to sell 4 of them, 2 of them being popular titles, and the uncle actually quoted me $10. $10 for all 4. I was like, "Are you crazy?" So, I decided not to sell them for that miserable $10 which I won't die without or become very much well off. Random but concludes as don't try to sell books to this people, they will probably try to rip you off.

Updates

I just came home at about 10pm. After, I took my bath, I checked my emails and stuff and stone in front of the laptop till now. I don't know why I just don't feel like doing anything and its a bit early to sleep considering the time that I actually wake up. Its as if I am waiting for something to happen. But anyway, finally I decided to do a mass blog update since I haven't been updating, after I finished fiddling with the lightscribe program on my laptop.

Anyway for those who doesn't know what does lightscribe mean, it is a technology for CD-drives to be able to burn cover "stickers". I am not very sure about it also, but I think other than the CD, you need the "sticker" for the drive to have a surface to burn onto.

Anyway, just to briefly summarise about my job interview. It was not what I expected from the description given to me and turned out to be MLM, which made me quite unhappy due to the fact that I was "conned" and more importantly I wasted about 3-4h of my time. So, of course, I turned down the job, if you can call it a job.

We watched Juno last weekend. It was quite entertaining, I recommend to people who need something light to brighten their day. But, one thing about the movie is that, you need to understand the jokes to be able to appreciate the movie.

I had my driving test yesterday and I failed. Although, I got 32points, I won't say I failed badly. Because 10 was from hitting down the pole at parallel parking when I was coming OUT, when I was reversing. I was really careless about that one and shouldn't be a mistake that I would have made. And another 8 from causing a car to slow down AND overtake me when I did a left turn from minor to major. Well, for this one I was thinking that the car was really far and I can manage to complete the turn. But, I didn't know that he was traveling at such high speed(according to the instructor). Anyway, without this two, I would have passed with a decent 14 points which I think everyone would agree. The only thing that I am really annoyed with failing is that I have to go back to BBDC again, which for some reason I hate going. Partly maybe because it is freaking expensive to learn with the school.

Recently, don't feel like blogging, thats why there is a lack in updates. Although, I resoluted to blog daily, still I don't think it is pretty much do-able. Not unless I am really going to turn my blog into a today blog, which I would rather not have a blog to begin with. For some reason, I feel that I am losing my faith for blogging. I wonder why...

Interview

Tomorrow, I am scheduled for an interview at Eunos. Although, I was the one who said that the distance is not the concern, the thought that I might also have a job offer at Clementi gives me a headache.

Well, all I can do is to just go for the interview and see how it goes. If I am destined to work at Eunos, then so be it. But, on a brighter note, over the phone the Eunos job sounds very attractive in terms of pay and the scope. But, I guess I will only really know tomorrow.

On a side note, I finally managed to reorganise my music files, took me a while though.

Haiz...I still haven't start with The Project although I had already finished my Lord of the Rings.

Lord of the Borings

Finally, I finished reading The Lord of the Rings after buying the book for 4years. It is indeed very boring and dry book. But, I definitely got a very big satisfaction from it. I guess the book will stay on my shelf to rate for the rest of eternity.Haha...

Tiong Bahru blackout

I went to Tiong Bahru Plaza just now with my family to watch CJ7 with my family. The whole complex actually went blackout! So, the movie went out halfway and the emergency lights came on. The power supply only came back on after about 30minutes.

Then, we were allowed to continue with the movie and at the end of it we were given a complimentary ticket each, with NO expiry date. Ain't that cool?

Anyway, I find the movie average, as the plot has very little development. The only thing that gives it a plus is the cuteness of CJ7.

The year has started out good, hope it will continue to roll on.

Chingay finally ending

Yesterday, practice ended at 1115pm. It was super late as a lot of time is wasted waiting. We were asked to gather at 730pm but it only started at 800pm and we had to wait somemore as the China dancers were not familiar with the stage area. Then, when we are finally done we had to go to City Hall to practice on the stage. But, turns out that we have to wait for the China dancers again as they left PA late.

Once again, the whole unhappy episode was caused by poor management and time planning.

My favourite ice cream

Finally,got to eat it after craving so long. Because it is rarely sold now. I only know 3 places which still sells it.

How rude!

Today, was on the bus, when I saw a man who was chasing after my bus yet about 10-20m away from the departing bus, made a very vulgar gesture at the bus driver. That gesture, although often seen, disgusted me as the man surely wasn't using it as a form of joke. Furthermore, if someone was to be blamed for the fact that he didn't get on the bus, it should be him.

What's wrong with this kind of people? He just has to wait for another bus. If he was running late, then why don't he go to the bus stop early. If its something urgent, then take a cab. I don't think money should be saved in times of need. Seriously, I think either he has an issue with being punctual or just not patient.

Seriously, Singaporeans in general lack punctuality and patience. Just take the example of wedding dinners, surely there will be people who are late. As for those who are punctual for once might choose to be late the next, as they can't stand waiting for others who are late. This is just an egg and chicken situation. Although, its better to have punctuality and patience, it is not going to happen. Not at least in Singapore...not at least in the near future...

Over promising

I just tried this game,Call of Duty4, both single and multi player. For single player, so far almost everything has impressed me. The graphics, game play, story and other stuff. As for the multi player, either I haven't finish exploring the whole game or there is too little job class to choose from. This results in lack of variety. If it could input some more elements of Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory, it would be better. At the moment, I am just getting thrashed online.

Anyway, pardon me for the lack of content in my entries, because I realised I have more and more things that I want to accomplish but are time consuming even after considering that I am not really working.

That also reminds me that I also realised that I tend to over promise. This bad habit has to go, if not its only going to make life difficult for people.

Ah Long Pte Ltd

Today, went to watch this movie and true enough, like the ratings, the movie was very disappointing despite Jack Neo's previous better productions. It's definitely justifiable why its only rated 1/2 star.

Childhood friends

Today, met up officially with my childhood friends after about 9 years. We played Game of Life and Big 2. Although, it was a short meet up, it was still fun.=)

Game of Life!!!
eliza:hmm...let's see...

Shi Shi(same age as me; once my primary school classmate):what are you looking at?

My Brother:My turn!

Happy Chinese New Year

I want to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year. All the best in the coming year. Huat ar!

I strongly recommend you people to listen to this Mr Brown podcast. Its super funny. Enjoy.

Disappointed

Today, nothing eventful happened. I went to SIM to apply for my psychology course and Mayflower to help Connie(though didn't do much).

Today, I saw something that disappointed me. Although, it is none of my business, somehow it still got to me.

I am so weak.

Further education

The psychology course that I will be taking will either be 57k at SIM or 27k at SIM University. Its so freaking expensive, but what to do? This is what happens when you don't study hard.

Anyway, yesterday was too sick to blog after I got back from supper and Chingay. The long period of time wearing my contacts made the "suffering" even more unbearable. Yesterday, my margin was really bad. Luckily, today feeling better already.

Nothing much to blog about, so I should call it a day.

Simple, yet powerful

Ever wondered how powerful simple things can be? Even simple words like "I love you" or even "Thank you". It just touches the heart. Although, more than often people nowadays choose to use this words loosely, still I choose to take it for their face value. I would feel better that way anyhows.

Haven't been feeling right for the past week or so, but now as I am writing this I feel much better. I am really glad that there are people around me who cares but just that they don't say or show it. Still it was good to be reminded of that fact, otherwise self pity might just set in.

If what you said was a dream, I wish I would never wake up from it...
