The iPhone has been a favourite for a many. Many people like it and have it already. So it's really common phone, so there's not much deal if I get one. But the Hero on the other hand is a very rare phone and it's the only phone (other than the iPhone duh) that is comparable to the iPhone. But the Hero is less user friendly.
Yup so whoever reads please tell me what you think on my tagboard.. (:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Been working a lot. Wth man they give me documents in malay and I have to find the respective info to type into the com. Then after that must print out hard copy. -.- So far I only managed to do 1.5 folders (1 folder is for one client - and inside have a lot a lot a lot doc) but I have been doing many odd jobs like printing, photocopying, sorting out papers, and filing stuff. It's a big waste of time as compared to if computers were used instead. Nvm tmr last day then everyone go holiday.
Will be about 2 hour flight to Sabah.. Wow I just realised that there was East and West Msia and the Msia that I have been going to for the past 15 (I travelled here when I was 2 I think) years was West Msia. -.- I'm such a lagger.
Yue Ming is such a nooooooooooooob! He tell me "I want to find a job." since O Level ended and until now he hasn't got one. Sucka!! It's already more than a month already la! Other people may have already made like close to $1k alr luh!! Haha!
Haven't been talking to her much lately. She's always online then offline then online then offline etc.. and also because I'm always doing work when she's online. Then the time she's online and actually at the com is really little. And I can't message her to tell her that I'm online. ): Sianz. Miss her much wonder if she misses me?? She will be going to Japan tonight. The flight is at MN so she would have to go to the airport real soon. I'm sure she would have a great time there skiing(?) and eating Sashimi, Sushi, Udon, Unagi, Tepenyaki (idk how spell), etc while I spend the rest of the holiday time in a LDC (fyi it means: Less Developed Country, for people who are yet to learn the lousy subject of Geog)..
Thanks Mic for reading my blog regularly and asking me update. Well here's your update. Haha miss you too! (:
The internet was down yesterday. How pissing. And this place is crazy sia. The com here is a Vista Business Ultimate - the best version of the Vista series, but the freaking internet is a DIAL-UP connection!! At home it's the entire opposite.. My com is a Vista Home Basic - the losiest of the Vista series, but the internet is wireless broadband.
I went work yesterday at my Aunt's office as an office boy. Her office is crazy. There are files everywhere!! All the workers tables are stacked high with files. Unlike in singapore - Office coms here have their hard drives stuffed full of "virtual" files.. Everytime need take out a document to scan at her office takes super long. That's where my job comes in. I have to scan paper work into the com and save it there. While the other workers are in charge of sending emails to the respective "clients" with the doc I scanned into the com. After reviewing it of course..
I was offered RM3/hour to do that kind of work at her office. -.- Wth! That's a freaking SGD1.50!!! Might as well don't pay me. I would rather just go there help out with no obligations and wait till I get back from Msia and go find a job in Singapore. I mean, even my old job at hawker centre just serving food earns me $5/hour. And I'm entitled to a meal before I begin and bbq seafood after I end my work. I also get soft drinks and snacks while I work..
My younger couz resetted some of my high scores on my itouch! Rawr
Woke up at 12+pm today.. Super no life sia I wake up eat brunch then go play psp with couz.. No matter what I play I never lost sia. How boring is that! Just had dinner now going bathe and go play psp again.. -.-
Went park to meet her just now.. Then while waiting for her and her couz Laura, JY JC and two unknown friends came. Haha and they seriously like to run la!! Crap sia. They just come only ask her, her couz and me play catching.. -.- She didn't run so Laura didn't run either. In the end JY JC and their two unknown friends chased me only. I was the target cos apparently I was the most of a challenge?! They take turns to chase me sia wth how tiring. In the end I gave up let JC catch me. Then they all go home. Damn weird la they all go park like 15min then need go home already. Then why even bother go la! -.-
Laura, me and her go their house. I go look for Yue Ming. He got my remote control car!! He already opened his the night before. Wth so much for waiting till christmas. -.-
We went play then only we noticed that the two cars use the exact same frequency. Wth!! Shit sia that was something I failed to realise. -.- Exact same manufacturer, exact same price, and some more so cheap!! -.- No surprise that we only need 1 remote to control 2 cars.. How retarded.. -.-
Laura and her borrowed my car to play while I swaveboard. (: Haha then I accidentally swaved the board into the pool. Sian damn paiseh luh!! Haha! Some more all I could do was watch the board sink to the bottom of the deep end. -.- Hahaha!! Lyn helped me go retrieve it. Thanks Lyn! (:
She accidentally drove my car into the pool. Hahahaha was damn funny la! But I didn't really mind la. How to angry with her sia!! Haha (: Anyway it's only $30 la and I doubt I would play it that much. I went to sun-dry (or wind-dry since there wasn't much sun) the car and after that idk what she did and it worked again! Haha I was quite surprised sia! What I couldn't fix she could! Hahaha!
And omg la her couz, Laura, is Gerald Tan's sister!! Omg omg!! Gerald Tan the annoying guy who can't keep his saliva to himself when he's speaking, and who was once my classmate in NYPS!! And speaking of which, I think I sorta recognise Laura now.. I think I saw her a long long time ago when their Dad fetched Gerald from school but I didn't recognise her immediately when we met just now.
I stuck around longer with her and Laura after Yue Ming went back.. They were just doing laps around the pool with the car. It took the dip another time but wasn't that bad so it still worked. (: Wow for $30 that's one good piece of remote-controlled plastic..
Went out with my Mum to Sim Lim to buy psp for my couz.. -.- My Mum pay for it and can claim from my Aunt also must keep nagging about having to get the best deal etc and when I try explain to her, she says she doesn't understand and don't want to hear. Wth sia.. -.- We walked around for about an hour then bought the psp 2006.. The best the shop could do was to update the version to 5.03 m33-6.. But at least it's a new psp and not a refurbished one. But who cares, I'm happy with my own psp.. (:
Now need go pack le. ): So sian la I will miss her so so badly lo. I wish I could spend christmas with her.. But she would still be in Japan at that time. She asked me if I wanted anything from Japan - yes, I want the exact same thing as what I wanted from Shanghai! (: Will miss her!!
Stupid bitch won't buy anything more than food for special occasions.
"Oh but the stuff you bought (erm like 5 years ago?) costs a lot of money so it covers all the way until you're 21. Then you can go buy your own stuff."
"Oh. What a bitch."
Like duh, come on don't want buy then just say luh. Come up with this kinda lame excuse. Wtf.. And since when was there a price limit for the presents? "Okay boy, this present costs $200. Since every special occasion you are entitled to a $25 present, so for the next 8 special occasions don't come and ask me for presents." And she tells me not to dictate how much my present would cost if she didn't buy for the past 5 years.. -.-
She told me something about buying presents that would cover all the way until I was 11.. So that means up to date, there's 5 years unaccounted for. So then why is it that when I ask her to pay $200 for a bike she complains that I didn't return her cash?
Then she starts telling me not to compare with others because we have to live our lives to our capability. Ya, I have been. I never borrowed money from anyone and couldn't manage to pay back. I have never bought something out of what I can afford. And I have been lending people much richer than me a lot of money. Why? Where did I get those cash from? Duh, I try to save up a bit from every week's allowance. And my Mum says that I'm trying to squeeze her for more cash. Wtf, that's an accusation I cannot tollerate. I never asked her for a cent more every week, I manage all my expenditure on my own, I manage my savings, and she says I squeeze her for cash?!
Whole day she claims that my Dad owes her a lot of money and don't want return, works at the com doing don't know what, claiming she's working to earn money to spend on me (which defitnitely doesn't seem like the case since all she's giving me is a mere $45 a week), and can't be bothered to cook a meal for me even though she's cooking for herself. At least my Dad buy's watches he generously offers me one after I said that it looks really nice, my Dad would cook for me when he's cooking for himself (even though it's plain but it's the thought that counts and it makes me full), and he spend's most of the day at the garden gardening.. Doing something he likes instead of my Mum staring at the com screen doing something she hates.
Currently, I respect my Dad much more than my Mum. He has better taste in holiday destinations. He likes Australia, but my Mum likes the cheapest place possible (that would be Msia as she doesn't need to pay for lodging - we stay at my Aunt's house).. My Dad thinks Australia is an interesting place and because it's so big, he hasn't visited many parts of it yet. Although it's not exactly the place that I like to go best, it's a nice change in holiday destination rather than the retarded Msia Msia Msia every year. -.- And what's more, we go to the same damn state. I think even if I go to India for a few days for holiday I wouldn't mind although I may not be able to smell anything fragrant for the next few months. I wish he would organise a trip to Australia even if I have to go alone with him, I guess I wouldn't mind.
The only reason why my Mum and I are taking a budget airline flight to Msia now was cos I was super pissed at the travelling arrangement during the previous trip. We took a city bus to the Msia taxi stand, take a taxi to Johor, then take a coach to Penang. The return trip was worse. We took the coach down to Johor, but there wasn't any taxis so we took a freaking causeway bus full of indians and malays that smelt like they hadn't bathed in days. Good thing my immune system is imba if not sure tio fatal disease.. The worst part was every time we changed our mode of transport, I had to carry my Mum's luggage as well as my own and she had to cram it full of spa salts and bath oils which are freaking heavy. And we had to change our mode of transport so many times to get to a freaking place 1hour flight away. That only made me more pissed. I was telling my Mum next time we would be walking to Penang. -.- So that's why we're taking a flight now.
Screwed up bitch.
That's what Yue Ming and I did. We went Toys R Us at United Square after he finished his eyeball check up.. -.- His idea to go there, not mine.
We walked around aimlessly looking at all the toys. He stopped at Bionicles and commented how there was no more stock and it said it was super popular. I really don't understand how a weird looking action figure toy could be such a hit. I mean, you got to nudge it every time to make it move! How lame la! Unless it's for display then well yea that's a different story.
We saw those remote control cars then Yue Ming was like, "I feel like playing sia!" Damn kiddy hahaha! But he wanted a remote that had the steering wheel instead of the conventional stick where u push it to make the car go forward or back and to turn left and right.. So we went to look for one.. There was some nice looking Ferrari r/c cars that costs $34+... It was damn small! But it looked quite cool. Then we saw this damn big 1:14 scale r/c car. Yue Ming thought it must cost at least $60 judging by it's size. But it was on sale so it cost only $30!!
I wanted to get it but Yue Ming was saying something about not wanting to spend too much of his $200 (his Mum gave it to him to spend on his friends.. my mum would ask me to spend it on her) to buy random stuff cos he wanted to get christmas present for others when nearing the date. So I told him that since we both wanted the cars, might as well take it that we buy each other the car model each of us wanted and give it to each other as christmas present!! And he totally agreed. So we went buy it. See I so smart!!! Wahahahahaha!!!
As we were going out Yue Ming said there was free-wrapping so we decided to wrap it for each other! Hahahaha!! Then we wrote a note on the presents in front of each other and pasted it on the wrapped presents. Then we gave each other the presents that we knew we already had!! (: Hahahahaha!!! We both agreed after that that we had just done the most retarded thing since we 1st knew each other.. -.-
JJ met us after his violin class. Said his mum was going to fetch him home. So I decided maybe can try hitch a ride back with them.. Anyway I had my foldable bike so it would fit in their car easily. Thanks Aunty Jean!! (: She dropped us off at the park.
Alex came too. Played catching although it was really sian cos Yue Ming was a damn stonner don't want run, while JJ and Fufu were offering me to catch them. The most running we did was JC chased JJ and chased me abit. (: Haha was fun la but didn't last long. Yue Ming wanted go bball so I went with him. She followed us but only watched me play bball with Yue Ming and didn't play. Haha..
Went garden for dinner.. And later going watch my fav tv show - The Mentalist.. It's the best cos I only have 3 choices of channel. Of which that's the only
angmo channel. How retarded.
Well that concludes my booooooooooorriiingggg day.. (:
I wish that was the case.. But currently I doubt that's best.
We slept at 3am yesterday or rather today morning. Was super tired when I woke up at 12+pm.. She woke at the same time too! Hahaha! Had leftover pizza for brunch then go out.
Waited for Yue Ming for half an hour downstairs. He was eating his lunch I think. During that time JY JC and their Mum came and went upstairs to idk who's house. Was quite surprised so I only waved at their Mum.. JY JC was following their Mum behind like they were scared or something. So weird.. But I guess I would too if she was my Mum. -.- JC and their Mum left after that, JY idk go where.
Anyway Yue Ming arrives and we go to City Hall.. We walk out of the station and there was the 3 for $10 shop just across the road! So easy luh! But it was closed. So we went some shop that sold a lot a lot of DVDs and albums and I bought Yamakasi!! (: Woots! Was super happy cos there's no flaw-free website that I can watch the show online: Megavideo would tell me I watched 70mins of video already when I just clicked the play button, and Youku (stupid china websites are never good) would take the whole day to buffer slightly more than 8min of the show.
Anyway, we walk out of the shop and the "3 for $10" shop was open! We went in and look at a lot of stuff. I looked at the watches but they weren't the ones my Dad bought. Yue Ming wanted to buy ring but as it was "3 for $10" he asked me if I wanted to buy too. I tried on the smallest size, 17, and the ring was still too big. It would slip off my finger when I flicked my hand hard enough. But the ring was super cute!! It had some lizard cutting through the metal and because it was so small, it was super cute! Haha! I was also joking that we should ask them to sell us their shops for "3 for $10" too.. Hahaha!!
We didn't buy anything and walked further down the row of shop houses. And there's another "3 for $10" shop. This one was slighly bigger but was not as neat. It sold all kinds of crap luh. Got some retarded paper fan (those ancient china people use), then got flashlight, got laser, got lighter, got watches (I wanted buy and give away the smaller of the pair of watches to the girl I like so we would have same design watches and it would be exclusive to the 2 of us only! :D ), got cards, got slippers, etc.. They should name their shop "Lots of Crap in Here" rather than "3 for $10" cos obviously not everything in the shop costs 3 for $10..
Yue Ming started playing with their lighters clicking them on and off.. Then he took some stupid toy that would do a small punching action when you pull the trigger and started punching me with it. -.- How retarded la!! Then he showed me a wallet with a money clip instead of a notes compartment. The wallet had a really simple design but wasn't practical.. Then when I looked around to try find the place where he took the wallet from to replace it, some stupid china old woman who apparently was the sales assistant just snatched it out of my hand and put it on the shelf without asking me. How rude la!! Some more when I was trying to find out what kind of batt their flashlights used by opening the flashlight, the cashier just took the flashlight from me saying, "oi you don't open it I tell you what batt inside." *points at a AAA battery pack on the wall* Then when we going leave that time Yue Ming saw some toy that would make noise when shaken and started shaking it vigorously. The stupid china old woman insulted him by saying it's for 2 year old. So what la? So now there's a younger age limit for toys?! Oh we can't play toys made for kids because it would be too dangerous for us!! Wow! Lousy shop. No wonder they have to sell stuff at 3 for $10 cos no one would buy their stuff for more after seeing their attitude.
Yue Ming buys Old Chang Kee and we both go to Funan Mall. After we walk around for awhile he sees a Subway and goes there and buys a whole meal. Wth sia and he just had his lunch not long ago!! No wonder he so damn fat..
We go to Far East Plaza and I wait for Yue Ming dye his hair. I think he practically wasted his cash. He dyed a shade of brown that only looks brown under the light and he still looks almost the same. And that costs $35.. That guy can't control his spending sia. He came out with $50 and spent $20 on food and ezlink. He had to borrow $5 from me so he now owes me $25.. -.- He had $0 when we went home.
We go to my house and take the swaveboard and soccer ball down. After kicking abit we got so bored that I attempted to get Yue Ming to learn swaveboarding. He doesn't even dare to kick off and try balance himself luh!! Wth then how he start swave sia..
Then we go back to the park and play rugby with Wesley and Dominick (idk how spell) and 2 other small angmo guys. The angmos are damn good at rugby luh! I hardly understand the rules. It's my 1st time playing and I was teamed with Wes and Dom who are also new to the game. Yue Ming and the 2 angmos team together. How unfair right. They are bigger, know the game, and I get Wes and Dom who don't mark anyone. -.- The only advantage is that I can easily outrun the 3 of them. So final score they win 5-3.. Then we play soccer and same thing, Wes and Dom can't mark them well but this time my team won 2-1. Lol was fun but was dead tired and out of breath by the time the game ended..
I just realised that I only have 2 days more to go to the park to hang out with friends before I go to Msia. ): I will miss everyone and her especially when I'm in Msia busy
stonning.. -.- How dumb. Tmr go play bowling with Yue Ming! (: Hope I win him! Hahaha!!
She's been saying that ever since she learnt it from episode 5 (I think) of the show Sonny With A Chance.. Anything to describe her supposedly ends with a "and pretty". Haha..
I went cycling with Yue Ming and Noel at ECP today!! (: Right from the time Yue Ming met Noel at about 10.30am (Yue Ming was 1hour late), he started slapping Noel for no reason. Anyway since when did he do that with a reason. -.- We reach PP and it starts raining. Screw it. And then it stops. Then we go eat Macs and rent our bikes. Then it starts raining. Screw it again.
Noel and I shared a tandem cos I was kinda lazy to paddle (but ended up I think I paddled more than Noel did.. idiot can't power a bike with me on it on his own and I'm like how light?!) and Yue Ming took a single cos he thinks tandem is gay. -.- We cycled in the rain for a long while making various stops here and there for shelter. Then it finally stops raining for good. We continue cycling again but I still got wet, cos apparently I was too busy talking to Noel telling him to keep paddling no matter what (the paddles on the tandem are linked so if he suddenly stops paddling my paddles will stop too and will cause a sudden jerk that may cause the bike chain to come off), and I failed to notice a large puddle of water on the bike lane in front of me so..splash! And my shoe was flooded. -.- The bike didn't have mud guards over the tyres so the back tyre was flinging dirt from the ground onto Yue Ming's white Converse bag (Noel was forced to carry it for his master the whole time cos it contains all our belongings such as wallet handphone etc so that it won't swing about in our pants when we're cycling) so Yue Ming was pissed. Noel got a slap for that. Okay at least this slap is justifiable to a certain extent. But still it would have been the same if Yue Ming carried the bag on his own..
We cycle all the way to the end of ECP. I didn't want go further with a flooded shoe. -.- So we stopped there for awhile. Yue Ming went to sit at the edge near the beach to stone. Meanwhile I asked Noel to try cycling the tandem without me sitting at the back. He can't do it. What a noob. I tried sitting at the back and all the more was it worse for him.. We were going left then right then left then right continuously but we couldn't make a complete turn. Then we all head back to the bike shop. This time I was careful to watch for puddles of water on the way and went through one safely that was seriously damn deep and if I accidentally stepped into it my shoe would become an instant LAKE.. We get to the bike shop later than Yue Ming. Duh how fast can a tandem go compared to a singles bike.. Then Noel was slapped a few more times for no reason until we got home.
I dry off and hang my flooded shoe up to dry. Then I go Noel house to get the swaveboard! (: Its his Dad's but his Dad doesn't know how to use it. -.- So I kinda taught him how to get on. But he couldn't get on for more than a second. Then he agreed to lend me until 17 Dec when they get back from Africa. But anyway I would be away until 24 Dec. I hope he forgets then I can have it for a longer time. (:
Then I go home and practice at the lobby area. So smooth sia. I finally can continue swaving for a longer period of time until I want to get off the board instead of being forced off it! She came to join me later. Her swaveboard is so fast la! Although kinda noisy. Haha! We went round in circles until we decided to go on the road.. I still don't know how to go down slopes and swave faster to go up slopes. So the most ideal place is well, boring level ground.. I reluctanly went upstairs at 6+pm to wash up and prepare to go for dinner.
The dinner was not bad. And I only meant the food. It tastes surprisingly good after a few hours of cycling and swaveboarding.
But the topic that my Dad, my Dad's friend and his wife were discussing was a potentially harzadous topic to me - studies. Sure enough my Dad was soon shooting me saying I'm stupid for doingbadly for my PSLE that's why I had to go to CCH. Wait a minute? Chun Yi and his sister got an iPhone when that gay got 235 for PSLE this year and I'm stupid and don't deserve anything for getting 244+2 (HCL merit) for PSLE in 2005? And he was saying about how I disliked the school in Sec 1 because the people in it were from a much poorer background than my classmates in NYPS. What a load of crap.. Don't I still have friends in CCH that are quite close to me? Who said that I needed to see someone's finance background the be friends with them. And CCH have people that are damn rich too.. It's mostly the management of the school I dislike. Then he was saying that I was dumb for considering polytechnic before JC and have a dumb Mum that encourages me to go to a private school instead for tertiary education. At that moment either I was damn pissed or damn sad.. But still smiling on the outside while I let him shoot me down more.
After that I quietly explain to my Dad's friend's wife the reason why I consider poly before JC and she finds my reason behind it quite valid..
We all go home at 10+pm.. When my Dad's in the momentum, he just doesn't stop. He goes on about me screwing up my life by being online for most of the time during the day or playing PSP and says I'm childish for hanging out with people about 5 years younger than me at the park. Well maybe...if he gives me $50+ a week to go out with all my school classmates to watch movies, go play pool, go play LAN, go eat at expensive restaurants for dinner instead of his load of crap food where everything and anything tastes one flavour only - "plain", then maybe I won't be so childish anymore huh.. And maybe he should have convinced more of his friends in the estate to have more kids around the same time I was born so that I would be hanging out with more people around my age.
It's weird that he doesn't realise that he's contradicting himself. He says that I'm screwing myself up by using com at home and says I'm childish for hanging out with younger people outside (park), who btw are the only people who go to the park because all the other people in my age group and older prefer to stay at home and play com games the whole day or spend lots of cash going out with friends. So what does he want me to do sia? Go out with people my in my age group and stone with them?
It's amazing and real sad how I've come to lead such a pathetic life. I have to manage my cash carefully, pay for most of the stuff I want because my parents will never get it for me since they would rather spend the cash on themselves (they claim that I'm already fortunate to have all the stuff I already have but don't realise I worked to buy them), and still cope with all the loads of bullshit remarks that my parents throw at me at how I lead my life.
Well, I'm sorry for being a failure at managing my time, managing my finances and for having younger-than-me-by-more-than-4years friends..
