Life without school

My monotonous life is getting from bad to worst. Hearing naggings from mum doesn't seems to help, and I got pain all over my body due to yesterday's vigorous gym training. I ran more then normal yesterday, and swam quite a distance. Lost money during mJ with the uni peeps, but I enjoyed that chat over supper as well as the journey back to Woodlands. I think I'm kindda smart to reach Woodlands without the help of "a woodlands resident" who is siting on the passenger seat. She bothered to show me the expressways back to Woodlands from the east, which obviously didn't really helps. Haha. Shall head for an evening dip b4 kickboxing class. Heh.

Kickboxing session Round 1, FIGHT!

Rantings

I haven't been doing anything constructive ever since holiday started, and have been wasting my life away with expensive hobbies such as fishing, prawning, and clubbing. I was supposed to meet Kris's boss today who agreed to offer me an internship on childhood cancer research @ Department of Paediatrics in NUS. But she said she was too busy today and would only be able to get back to me after wednesday. BoooOooo, I shall give her until next monday before calling it off, get a temp job, and be part of the GSS shoppers team on the weekends. Really felt like a dumbass now to agree to work for free, and even rejected a few temp job offers cause of it.

Mum saw Dad pushing a fifty dollars note to me on Sunday, and was on the verge of erupting. She only agreed to give me pocket money if the intern is on, or when the school starts. To make things worst, she blocked all my money supplies by helping me deposit my savings during school term into the bank, and confiscated all my ATM cards thereafter. Jun and GL agreed that she did a right thing; it might just be a great idea as well since I got a hard time controlling money spendings, esp on hot periods such as now, whereby Singapore is in the midst of her yearly sales event..

BoooOoo, and talking about sales, I prepared a long shopping list for the season. LoL.

1. New pair of swimming trunks - I left the last one in the changing room after a dip in the pool. -_-"
2. New water bottle - I left the red Nalgene bottle in the examination hall after stats. Agrhhh.
3. New bag - I have been using my brother's bag ever since my schoolbag tore in March.
4. A pair of new slippers - a son-of-the-bitch or mother-fcuker-sucker stole my NUM slippers!!! I'm sorry to those who bought it for me during birthday last year. CURSE HIM!!! @#$%@#$#
5. Converse canvas shoes - Haha, is a want la.
6. Tees and berms for the wardrobe - I just donated at least 50 old tee shirts and shorts to the salvation army. =) I grew out of them. Opps.

Kickboxing starts this wednesday and hopefully I will have a great sweatout session. =)

And I really want the internship la!!! =(

Okie, thats lame. But as the old saying repeats: "I will put in more efforts next sem!" This sem's better then last. And I know next sem will be better then this. But before all that, I shall jump into the pool and get some emo to begin the holiday with. Haha. I might not even see a SINGLE A in my entire uni life. I think. But still, i appreciated those ppl who smsed me right after 3pm. Love u ppl! Yesh, I felt like crying after seeing all the B- ses. And before I came back to reality, I've flunked this sem. Next two verdicts will determine whether am I the honours cut. Not yet, and not now. Till then, I shall not MUG, I shall STUDY!!! God bless.

Getting into some emo shits.

Updating of Shawn's Life

Human beings are the most complex animals in the entire class of mammalia. Primates with large brain, well developed auditory regions is what we defined ourselves as. I rated ourselves as forlorns though, sad living creatures who live by having fate playing tricks on us. Life is contradicting you see. When you got something, you want another. But when you got another, you want back that something again. Life is such a bitch.

I think I managed to get an internship at NUS. Will meet up the prof to confirm everything on monday. On an irony, I gave up a temp assignment paying me $6.50 per hour to be a free labour. Is everything worthwhile? I choose to go for the internship even though my mum told me to be practical. Hopefully I would gain some good knowledge there.

I bought a book. Like the Flowing River by Paulo Coelho, and here's how it reads: "Often you can see the mountain in the distance, beautiful, interesting, full of challenges. However when you try to reach it, what happens? It's surrounded by roads; forests lie between you and your objective; and what seems clear on the map is far more complicated in reality. So you must try all the paths and tracks until, one day, you find yourself before the peak you intend to climb.

And so, i continue to read...

Random stuffs this week

1) Bake tiramisu with Darren, Weiting and Meihua at Darren's house. His house don't have sugar, so we used HONEY instead!!! And when 4 alcoholic freaks get together, I'm pretty sure the alcoholic content of the tiramisu is much above the average... Haha, it was hell fun thou.

2) The meter on the family car indicated we had travelled 100000km. If supposed it took 90km to travel from west to east and back again, the car travelled there at least 1111.11 times!!!

3) Mambo night with the guys. A malaysia girl came up to me and asked me am I John Lee. "Nope", I said. "I'm SHAWN TAY." Then she asked me what was the most famous thing in Ipoh. I said,"Ipoh hor fun!" and she said, "Nope, is pretty girls!!!" -_-" I'm pretty sure I preferred local hainanese chicken rice... LoL.

4) Went prawning with brother the other day, and when we were talking about how his gal friend got free prawns from some uncles the last time they went... A uncle came up to me and gave me his catch when he left. Who say uncle are good to pretty babes!?! Haha. They are good to boys too.

5) I regret not accepting the bird park job. But the pay is like damn pathetic. Well, but now, I'm living "negatively". Maybe I should opt for tuitions...

6) Pre planned a 2 days 1 night fishing trip on a boat with Brother in law. $90 per person, any on-takers?!?!

7) I'm having diarrhea, and I pretty sure my ass will crack soon. LoL.

8) Went to Jun's house the other day, and saw the condition of my DaVinci Code I lent him 800 years ago... And he told me he dunno where he put... Now I know why...

9) Go to Google --> Choose "More"--> Choose "Maps" --> Click on "Get directions" --> Type New York in the first column, Paris on the second. --> Press "Get directions" search button and read line # 24. =)

Shall head to gym tomo. =)

The Curse

I look into the well,
And saw the reflection.
My heart is full of emotions;
My mind is of distractions;
And I longed for some harmonization.

I owned a dirty empty shell;
O, with a soul that is still pure.
I would yearn to be that same old boyish self,
O, But I ended up in some holy shits,
And bastard shall define me.

I will walk out of the hole one day,
That is full of lust, sex and betrayal.
I might survive someday.
That if I reach the seventh heaven to set free my destiny.

I shouldn't longed for the avariciousness of the unlabelled.
I wouldn't yearned for the covetousness of the undesired.

Till then, I shall wait.

Randomness

I thought this was pretty true, esp the second last papragraph.

You are constantly hoping that your good fellowship and attitude and your 'love for your fellow man (or women)' will give you peace of mind. You need people - people around you to care for you and to show you that they care. It is this hope that keeps you going, the hope that makes you the type of person that indeed you are. Your own need for approval seemingly makes you always ready to help others and in exchange you seek love, warmth and understanding. You will always listen to others and you are open to new ideas which hopefully will prove fruitful and interesting.

You are working extremely hard - perhaps even above and beyond the call of duty. You are preparing for the future and therefore trying to build a firm trouble-free foundation upon which you may base all of your dreams and aspirations.

It is hard for you to accept that your needs and desires are misunderstood by almost everyone within your sphere of influence and there is no one to rely on. Your pent-up emotions and inherent egocentricity make you quick to take offence, but as matters stand you realise that you'll have to make the best of things as they are.

It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed you are no exception. It would seem at this time that even though you may be surrounded by people, you are experiencing an inner loneliness. Fortunately you are sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer you and that you may miss your share of experiences if you fail to make the best use of every opportunity. You therefore pursue your objectives with a fierce intensity and are prepared to commit yourself deeply and readily. You believe that whatever you would like to do or think 'you can do' - you do! It is because of this attitude that you may be considered by others as arrogant and even conceited, but its fair to say that whatever it is that you really want out of life you will put your heart and soul into it and will not take 'NO' for an answer.

Being afraid that you may be prevented from achieving your hopes and dreams is making you anxious and nervous. As a dreamer your ideas can at times move into the realm of fantasy and you could be following that so called illusive dream.

The Test

The Week Before this.

An old pic with Jasmine from Singapore Idol.
I wondered where's my Lin Peifen's one? VERON!

Had a busy last week. Last Sunday after fishing, went for Mother Day dinner with the family and prawning with Bro at Pasir Ris with his friends.

Me and Mum.

Went for job interview on Monday at Bird Park, and the end we spent the day having dinner and watching movie. The pay was too pathetic to mention.

Bird Park.




GL and Jun at HK cafe.

Tuesday was meant to sweat it out, thus we visited the gym and pool to exercise. And I signed up for JE kickboxing with GL, Butt and Tingz starting next wed. =) Wednesday went MJing with the uni clique (while Jun went mambo!), and spent the entire of Thursday resting at home since sister coming back for dinner. Had a haircut on Friday before heading towards Sentosa for another job interview and Geylang for dinner. Sat saw me heading back to Sentosa again (dub) with the burgies for the sun, beaches and babes. Haha. Had carls, and sat at the top on vivo for a chat.

New Haircut.

Went to Grandma's house for Mother's Day Celebration today. Mum and aunties cooked their best delicacies, and we had a nice get-together. =) And I think I'm desperately in need of a job now... (I need some moola).

Grandma cutting the cake while Justin snatched the flower.




He photowhored toooO! Haha.




Sexy pose!




Baby-Face pose... =)




He was holding the camera!
Impressive to start narcissim at the age of 2! LoL.






Charmaine keeps pestering me to draw with her. Haha.
So I drew with her.

I love my family. =)

Holiday starts...

Listening: Live Twice by Darius

Yesterday saw me reaching home at 5am, fetched my brother to his workplace at eight, and forced by my dad to wash the family car right after. And when I thought I could take a rest, the folks requested me to go breakfast/lunch with them. So yeah, I tagged along and got a free handphone back. Whahaha. Dad signed up the SingTel MIO and got a free Nokia 6888 which he decided to give me. Not the newest model I know, but I think is good enough to replace my "lao kok kok" with; that phone accompany me thru thick and thin, rain and sun, forest and soil during NS. *Smile* Took a good nice nap before mum woke me up telling me that Mother's Day Celebration with my paternal family is cancelled (and so was my MJ session with Alvin or coffee session with Weihao and guys which I cancelled for the dinner -_-"). Well, I spent the remaining of sat reading book, watching TV and blog hopping. How sad. I shall look forward to the make-up dinner next weekend.

Went fishing this morning with bro-in-law at Pasir Ris Pro Fishing Pond, $50 per rod for three hours. I only got a bite from a Taiwan Lo during the first two hours, which was caught up by some stupid uncle who snatched my rod from the support hole while I was tieing some knots. I was pretty sure I got the time to run over and fight the catch myself lo. Sad. On the other hand, Bro-in-law got himself a golden mackeral at the first hour. Another was hooked up by sis when she was attending to bro-in-law's rod for just five minutes while he was tieing some knots. How irony! Managed to catch a red snapper at the last hour, which neutralized my bad mood somehow. So yeah, today I paid $50 for a red snapper... Haha.

Marking the start of holiday...

New Update: http://ilovetaipeimeimei.blogspot.com/ =)

Darren's Birthday

Listening: Ah Lian Song by Patricia MoK (damn funny la)!
Reading: My life in New Orleans by Louis Armstrong ($3 book from co-op)

Pangseh Weihao and guys for Darren's Birthday today. And in the end, Darren pangseh us for clubbing after dinner. Booo. Anyway the dinner at Lemongrass wasn't too bad, and finally I got the chance to see Sam after a million years. LoL. Had chat-over-desserts thereafter at Black Angus with Fiona, Aloy and Sam; and the mudpie there was orgasmic! It was an oversized ice cream pie with hot chocolate syrup on top. Highly recommended. The price was slightly off track thou. $9.90 per pc. But still, for the sake of gourmet, I think is okay to eat it occasionally. Kekeke.

The chat was cool, and it bought back fond and funny memories of the camp days - like how I climbed out from the window instead of the door during the nightwalk, or the muscle cramps we had on our stomachs for laughing too much (and i seriously think that the laughs i had during the 5 days of camp is equivalent to more than 1000 crunches). LoL. Those were the days... =)

If university life is as unstressful as poly life;
Life would have been much better.

Cheers.

Holiday Season on the Door

The last paper is finally over and I decided to give Doc Yap Von Bing a gift by leaving my new Nalgene bottle at the examination hall. -_-" *fainted* Been mugging like a fucking nerd these days, and now I think is time for me to get back my life! Wheeee. Yayness!!! And I mean LIFE WITHOUT SCHOOL lah.

And to all my friends:

I'm desperately in need of some MJ sessions, fishing trips, prawning sessions, chats over the coffeehouse, and clubbing on e weekends (I don't mind mambo nights thou). =) Just sms me at 9-190****, and I will be there!

记得要打9-190****， 等你哦！ LoL.
