MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

No work today and I had nothing better to do.

So after prayer, I headed to Vivo and then Haw Par Villa ALONE.

The rain was a hindrance but that didn't stop me.

More pics on my facebook in the album Against the Rain on Xmas.

I am having a fever now, thanks to the rain.

Work tomorrow and off again on Sunday.

My last day of work is on the 30th so I'll give my best.

Basic Theory Test for driving on the 31st.

Thinking of watching Sherlock Holmes soon.

Anyone free may contact me =)

Last Minute Shopping Could Kill Cashiers!

Yep hello Christmas is like tomorrow and crowds flock the suermarkets, shopping malls to get their stuffs. Yesterday's work was a killer -long queues, credit card machine faulty, bills of up to $400 per transaction. And I think it would be no better today. Thankfully I will off on Christmas day (thank you supervisor!) and can enjoy. Most customers so far were nice but yesterday I faced a series of nasty customers with those attitudes. The quote "Customer is King" has its limits okay! But no matter what, you should be thankful that I could tolerate all these and give in to your demand. I'm good at pretending and I even smile at every customers sincerely no matter who they are. Well, I'll just adapt.

And yes, this is the band All Time Low and I think it is currently my favourite. I have been practising their song Remembering Sunday and it is nice. Do come to Singapore soon and I'll surely go for your concert. Owl City's Vanilla Twilight has become a boring song unlike the first time I heard it. Fireflies is still as cool as it is. This morning I went to Gek Poh to buy Christmas present as Cold Storage will have Gifts Exchange session among the staffs. Work later at 4.30 till 11pm. Surely I won't get a seat in the MRT tonight =(

I swear you're beautiful! =)

and I wish you all in advance a

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

New blogskin =)

Thinking of going overseas with friends in January.

I've searched the budget airlines websites and also the hotels.

My parents allowed me to go.

10 more days to the New Year and I can't wait to finish working.

Even if I want to work again I would make sure that the workplace is near my home.

I'll customise my blog further soon.

At the moment I'm watching Chelsea struggling against West Ham.

Yesterday, I laughed at Man Utd and Liverpool who lost their respective games.

Now I kena owned -_-

PHOTOGRAPHY...

This is a collection of some pictures I've taken. Enjoy!

Curiosity doesn't necessarily kill the cat

This could be a motivational picture.

The mother knows her child best

Stop and Stare

Festive decoration





From Hero to Zero. The Old Changi Hospital...

Apparently some ex-Westwoodians went to this place and wrote the above

Alright more pics to come in the near future!

Today I'm off from work. Went to Clementi to get my blue spectacle repaired. Met Jun Jie who is having Common Test this week. Saw Daphne Tay at the interchange and her walking speed hasn't changed at all since secondary school days. "Guitaring" as always at home. Still haven't master those chords that strain my fingers. Need practice!

Halfway There!

I realise that I love being a cashier so far but my main problem is the journey from Jurong to Novena that made my life a bit miserable. The staffs there are all nice and whenever I make mistakes, they taught me well. Greeting and smiling to customers have been a norm for me and that's natural. So far so good! My contract ends on 31st December and I don't think I'll continue to work there but I don't mind being a cashier again. There are several supermarkets near my house - Giant, Prime, NTUC and even the Cold Storage at Jurong Point - but the agency placed me at Novena instead. Later today, I shall go to the agency to declare my working hours sheet and I will earn my salary in 2 days time. =) I don't know why I want to work so badly. Partly because I'm bored. And please....I've been checking my letterbox for that NS letter. Even if I would be enlisted in May, please at least notify me soon!

P.S. Thank you Arsenal for beating Liverpool

And thank you Aston Villa for beating Man Utd.

Damn lucky Everton... =(

Today's work is great!

Worked at the cash counter but with supervision.

Too kanchiong and gabra initially but along the way I got used to it comfortably.

This work just makes me smile everyday at people =)

Tomorrow will be my last day of training.

If successful, I will open my own counter by Monday.

No pressure. Must learn to relax.

Ended at 3pm just now and I was thinking of going Orchard but I was lonely.

Nobody is at home now. Parents staying overnight at Johor house.

So I have been playing guitar, volume almost to the max with all windows shut.

Work again tomorrow but I don't know what time to report.

Called the office to ask about my schedule but no answer.

Novena Square is so happening!

Do come there during this festive season!

Anyway, for today's training, I learnt how to operate the cash machine.

And also memorise the bar codes of those items without them.

That one I need to improve on.

Not an easy task but I must be natural with it.

Journey from home to there is approximately an hour.

I have to try my best to learn fast but by Sunday if my supervisor is not satisfied with my work, I might not be accepted.

Well, just do what I can.

After work I saw Mark Lim and his sister at Novena.

He has just came back from Bali.

Saw Neil in the MRT back home.

Good to have company.

Alright I got a job now.

Working as cashier at Cold Storage at Novena Square and that's far.

$5.20 per hour before overtime seems okay.

If the circumstances favour me, I would like to work overtime.

Nothing to do at home except surfing internet, playing guitar and watching TV.

It's good that there is a sports complex near my house.

I have been going there for the past 3 days.

Went swimming this morning and got tanned again.

In the afternoon, I went to Recruit Express office to sign contract.

The officer talked to me about my pay, working schedule and all that stuff.

For this job, integrity and patience is needed.

7 Dec is the farewell party fir ruggers going to NS.

It will be held at Sentosa but I think I might come late for that.

Alright people, enjoy your holidays!

Holiday Season

Yay! Feel good to be back in Singapore!

Trip to KL was okay but shopping was fun.

My family and I watched New Moon and 2012 during the weekend.

New Moon was abit disappointing but overall just okay.

I'm just jealous of Jacob's body...

On the way back, we stayed at our house in Johor.

Spent most of the time playing FIFA 10.

Still no broadband there so life is boring.

Back home in the evening yesterday.

Upon reaching, I went to the gym immediately.

I'm getting fatter now and that is demoralising.

Coincidentally, I met Fariss and Zufaidi who were heading to the gym after I signed out.

So I continued...

Well today is a busy day.

Went to Bukit Batok Driving Centre to apply for license.

My Theory test will be on 30th December.

Met Shafiq Karim who had completed his Theory and now preparing for practical.

After that I met Gabriel at Jurong East and we applied for a job there.

Given that I have yet to receive NS letter, I would be able to commit my work longer.

I'm already 18 and I feel bad asking parents for money...so I have to learn to work now.

08S31 Chalet at Aloha Changi was fun.
At midnight, we ventured into the Old Changi Hospital, a place that was destroyed and abandoned.
It was really dark and luckily we had a torchlight.
Watched horror movies throughout the night.

Alright, later tonight I'm ging to KL with family.
Celebrate Hari Raya Haji with relatives there!

Introducing my new Bestfriend...

Yeah finally bought it!

Awesome day today!

Gabriel called me at 6am to go to John's house.

Played RockBand at his house till noon.

After that, we headed to NP to play soccer with PJC dudes.

Some of them had Physics paper in the morning.

I was breathless and clearly lost that stamina that I used to have...

After soccer, we ate at Al-Ameen.

Gab and I went to Peninsula Plaza while the rest played LAN at Beauty World.

After browsing through various shops, I decided to choose the above guitar...

Now, let the music begin...

Oh yes, I'll be applying for relief teaching!

Last paper tomorrow!

I spent the whole day doing MCQs at home while my family enjoyed themselves at Vivo.

It's getting exciting!

I hope that NS letter won't arrive soon...

If I enter in April or May, I might as well get a job.

Ideal job would be photography...hhmm

Or maybe teaching?

Nevermind, I got time to decide...

Left with one more paper - Chem Paper 1 on Monday!

Hang on in there!

Lots of stuff to do after that.

I'm gonna get an electric guitar soon! =)

Drummer, bassist, guitarist wanted!

Feel free to contact me anytime soon.

More than 30 original songs to work on!

And I think I need to exercise more.

Soccer on the 24th, chalet on the 25th, KL on the 26th.

My room is still in a mess with those essays and notes.

I've been waiting for my NS letter but still it has yet to arrive.

Just hope that I'll enter late around April or May.

Okay, as for now, focus on Chem.

9 Nov - 23 Nov

I believe I can...

Doing other schools' prelim papers under exam conditions does help.

Just next week...

Yes I'm nervous but I won't be thinking about that.

I think I'm ready...

14 MORE DAYS...

6 more weeks to happiness...

Can I endure it?

Just 6 more...

People told me to aim high...

I aim to get a scholarship

Even if I fail to do so,

At least I can get my As and Bs...

Got B for my MT and PW...

So let's improve on that for other subjects

Just 6 more weeks...

Shoot for the moon - even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

RAYA OUTING with PJC friends =)

EAT, EAT ,EAT! haha

We rented a van and managed to visit 10 houses!

Too much fun already that I'm tired to write about it.

Really a great outing!

Must have it again next time =)

4H HARI RAYA OUTING <3

The Boys - Nuqman, Nazreen. Asyraf, Sheikh and Zaki

The Girls - Rebecca, Rachel, Crystal, Zawani, Aini








Mdm Siti Hajar's house!









My house

Mdm Azlina's house!

Another day full of enjoyment and jokes with former 4H friends!
I arrived at the interchange at 1.20pm but we started our journey like 45 minutes later?

Haha awesome day with awesome friends!

<3

Prelims ended yesterday.

Meaningful yet tiring day today.

Met my old friends at the mosque - Nuqman, Al-Azri and Fauzi.

We went to FICO to eat at Pizza Hut.

Memberz-Memberz were also at FICO to play soccer.

Watched them for a while before walking home with Nuqman.

At the traffic junction outside Gek Poh, we saw our juniors inside a bus waving at us.

A split second later, I was even shocked to see Mark, Wong Jieh, Damien and friends in the same bus too,waving at me!

Haha,so sway! It's like almost the passengers in the bus looking at us.

They were going to play soccer at FICO and allowed me to join them.

So I did.

Joash, Neeraj, Ber Han, Christopher, Bryan and Spencer were there as well!

We booked the pitch for 2 hours and played as if every second counts.

After that we had chicken rice for dinner .

The chicken rice costs $1.50 each!

We ate on the floor outside Jurong Point. Haha

Great to have them if not I would be studying at home after prayer.

Oh yeah! My secondary school friends are organising visits to the teachers' houses this Sunday.

On Monday, my PJC mats and minahs will go Raya!

Have to seize these moments as A Level draws nearer.

Yay! Ramadhan's OVER! I have kept my 100% record of fasting every day!

So, what else do I have to say other than

SELAMAT HARI RAYA!

Alright, I guess I won't be celebrating much.

In a middle of Prelim right now.

I will only celebrate tomorrow and on Monday I shall continue with my revision.

=)

No one ever said that life was fair
And I'm not saying that it should be
So knowing that you are where you want to be
And I'm not comes as no surprise

But don't expect me to be happy for you
And don't smile at me
And tell me things will work out for me too
I don't want your pity...
I HATE YOUR PITY!

Some weird/ stupid / unexpected etc things that happened to me this week (in no order of significance):
- Forgot to bring exam entry proof. Had to pay $5 for it.
- Chelsea's transfer ban. That hurts but I still have faith in them.
- My guitar string snapped. I inserted a new one and as I tune it, it snapped again.
- On Thursday as I reached home, I forgot to bring along my house key and there was nobody at home. My mom was at Geylang then. Had to go to the library instead.
- I applied tiger balm on my nose just now but accidentally hit my right eye. The sensation was awesome! Kept winking.
- It's fasting month but somehow I didn't realise myself looking at hot stuff in the newspaper. Sorry.
- Have been watching documentaries before sleeping since Monday. Yesterday I watched the Bermuda Triangle.
- I don't know why I suddenly love to listen to screamo.
- There is something wrong with Blogger.Really.


Alright, go and study people!

Doubts have been running through my head.
Suddenly, I have lost the direction of who I want to be.
I'm confused, not convinced.
I hate to say this but good grades are all that matters now.
Non-academic aspects are settled.
Since I'm losing control of the direction, I have to take it step by step.
I refuse to concede to fate.
Nothing is more important than that certificate.

I'd be free after 23 Nov 2009.
The score remains 0-0.

Problems with internet nowadays.
Had a hard time logging in to Facebook
And now this blogger can't allow me to post pictures
Damn those hackers but I would like to thank them for that.
Without their hacking,I would be glued to Facebook.
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!
Majulah Singapura!


Oh yeah. Do you guys still remember the Singapore Flyer incident last year?
There is a movie coming up based on that and the trailer is awesome!
Do check it up here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRWi2uNmkHg

enjoy!

Life is all time low at the moment.
Lots of sacrifices have been made and there is more to come.
I hope at the end of the day, everything that I do now is worth it.
The important thing is not to regret.
Well, I went for medical consultation after school today.
Last week, I had an echo scan and today the doctor said that my heart is normal.
And perhaps I might get into PES A. See how it goes.


Is it clear that I'm blurring the line?

Awesome stuff.

The audiences were crazy.

Really crazy that they pushed one another, punched aimlessly onto each other and so on.

But let them be.

The view of the wild fans with those music was indeed spectacular!

Just a Thought to You

Alright by now some of you had gotten back some of the exam papers.

Some of you =) while some of you =(

For me, I'm just fine and accept whatever results I get.

But I'm quite happy with my GP Paper 1. I got 34/50!

I guess reading newspapers everyday helps.

As for GP Paper 2 which is yet to be received, Mdm Pathrose said that it was badly done.

For Econs Paper 1 Section 1, I got 15/30 and that is 2nd highest for the class.

So be prepared to face the truth that hurts.

I got E for H1 Math but still it is an improvement as I got U during Common Test.

Well, actually there is nothing to lose. But there is alot to gain.

My motivation to learn is always there.

For the past 4 years, my parents didn't have to tell me to study or ask whether I had completed my homework.

It is not like they don't care, It is in my blood.
So, it is 2 more months to Prelims and I'm looking forward to it.

That was a little thing that made me feel better. Smile =)

I've never told a lie

And that makes me a liar

I've never made a bet

But we gamble with desire

I've never lit a match with

Intent to start a fire

But recently the flames

Are getting out of control

Call me a name

Kill me with words

Forget about me

It's what I deserve

Post Exam "Activities"

Morning exercise - swam about 10 laps with Gabriel.

Jeremy joined us after his checkup.

Chatted happily in the pool while enjoying the sun.

The three of us had luch at Gabriel's house.

Then we headed to John's house.

Played RockBand until we're all tired.

My fingers were strained after playing guitar so i switched to drums.

The boys also played other games while i watched them as I was tired.

Jeremy headed home first while we continued playing.

Had Japanese cuisine for dinner before heading home.

School tomorrow and the JC2 ruggers might join in the training tomorrow.

Take care people!

Exam is finally over and tomorrow is a holiday for me! =)

Just like History Paper 1, the Paper 2 tested on questions which I had predicted to come out.

Count myself lucky but I don't expect myself to do well overall.

I had no mood to read today's newspaper because the headline news featured Ronaldo.

Watched Channel NewsAsia instead but I switched the TV off when it was time for the sports segment.

Had breakfast at Gek Poh before heading to school.

Revised History with Cynric who shared his methods of studying with me- by talking to himself.

Not bad afterall, what we discussed came out!

And exam was held in MPR3, the venue I hate the most because there is no proper table.

The smell of MPR3 always irritates me.

After exam, Gabriel, Syafiq and I ate LJS at BPP.

Spent about an hour there chatting and I am seriously proud of Gabriel!

Well done dude!

Took 180 home.

Mum bought durians on her way home from Johor.

She had bought furnitures and TV for our house there.

My sister was kind enough to give me some money after receiving her salary yesterday =)

Good good good I shall be a good brother from now on.

As for the plan tomorrow, I will go to Gabriel's condo to swim in the morning.

Then we will head to John's house for some entertainment.

Enjoy life =)

HAPPY YOUTH DAY!!!

Hmmm what I did the last few days:

> watched the final 4 episodes of Boys Over Flower (typical happy ending but the drama is awesome!)

>Wrote guitar tabs for 4 songs (damn complicated but useful )

>SEA History revision (Thank God exam is not over!)

>Watched soccer bloopers (classic!)

>Sleep, Makan, Relax, TV (SMRT)

Haha love peace! And also the weather!

While I am enjoying the rain, people in China are suffering from massive flooding.

And I think I have taken things for granted, in various situations that could prevent me from facing this downfall. I was stubborn and complacent not to heed your advice. In fact I did more than that to avenge my frustration and to make you be concerned about it. It did happen but that should not be the right way. I should had been patient and sensible which I appeared to be but actually I wasn't. I'm good at pretending but I think I can't endure that anymore. Anyway, what is there to hide? Now, I realised that going against your advice was the most regrettable thing I had done, so far. I don't know about your perception of me now, maybe you hate me. And I would be glad if you would say "served you right" at me. Coz I want to learn from mistakes in order to be good to you and others, and win back that friendship, as promised in the letter. As for now, you know what our main priority is. Work for it!

IMY so badly...seriously. I'm not lying. I swear.

Allah help me please!

Amin.

EXAMS not OVER!!!

Haha I feel so free like there is nothing else to do.

But it is a good thing that I'm left with History Paper 2, which will be held next Wednesday.

At least I'm preoccupied with something to do!

As for the rests, enjoy your holidays...

I think I want to buy electric guitar soon instead of after A Level.

The distortion feeling kinda rock

Haha I'm so greedy; just bought acoustic guitar last year.

Alright I got nothing else to say.
