繰り返しの毎日で行き場のないこの気持ち
巡り巡る目まぐるしくまわる
毎日を泳ぐんだめげずに LAUGH LUAGH

and so on, juz repeating the same old parts.

Actually was listening to the 太陽のナミダ in youtube then come across this "weeeek" MTV.
Owellz, I think this song is very good for those learning "Monday to Sunday" (月火水木金土日）in Japanese, since it's repeated like SO MANY times throughout the song. Actually heard this song in FM 96.3 before, but always never get to hear properly is sang by whom, as u all know, my Japanese listening is so cui. But get to learn new vocab words through the lyrics. LOLX.

http://www.jcss.org.sg/test.html

Glad that I'm in the "71.7%" that passed. But looking at the percentage of ppl who PASSED JLPT1 or JLPT2... Piangz, it's demn sianz arz. Actually I think I shld be able to pass JLPT3 since I have been like MUGGING so much for it even though it's like 9 months later. But how to pass JLPT2 and JLPT1!? Haiz, that one must really WORK harder..

PASSED JLPT4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAHAHAZ. I got the letter from JCS, together with my result slip. So happy that I passed.. But okay lar, not that it's excellent that kind...

P1 (Writing-Vocab) - 100/100
P2 (Listening) - 29/100
P3 (Reading-Grammar) - 154/200
Total: 283/400 - PASSED!

Shocked that I actually got full marks for P1.. But okay arz, at least those memorising of Kanji and verbs paid off...

Listening was like ABOVE EXPECTATION. Because as I mentioned way before, I only know how to do 2 ques out of the 20 or 21 ques arz. Then the REST OF THE ANSWERS I juz put option 2. Owellz, I was LUCKY enough to get 29 marks lorz. I was expecting single digit.

P3 grammar and the reading compre.. Erm.. Okay lar, quite happy with the marks too. And with that marks the start of revising for JLPT3 end of this yr!

And also finally after much attempts, I finally got a job! Went for the interview n everything went well... Gonna work at the StarHub Centre at Somerset (behind Centrepoint) there... Admin work.. And most imptly, the pay is not bad also, is $7/hr. And the contract is to work from next Wed(05/03/08) all the way till 1st week of Aug, when sch just starts. Owellz, not bad arz.. Can get one stable job to last me throughout till sch starts. Working hours wise, is 5 days work-week, from 830am to 6pm... And definitely no OT... Good good... Finally things seem to turn well for me today. Lolx.

2nd attempt...

This time round.. Haiz, I have nothing much to say. I know it's really CMI arz.. Throughout the circuit, I wasn't deducted a single point for any safety check/blindspot.. So compared to my 1st test which I got so much points deducted for safety/blindspot, I guessed I have made a great improvement in this...

Turns out I got 6 demerit points for circuit... Hmm..Okay lar, I'm quite satisfied with that. Cuz my mirros striked pole (4 points) and hence require addtional reverse movement (2 points) during my vertical parking.

But when comes to driving outside, HOLY SHITTTTTT! I kana owned right from the start lar, and I know it's really GG liaoz. Right from the beginning. during the very 1st junction when I beat the ORANGE LIGHT whereby I was moving at a SLOWWWW SPEED n could have chosen to stop in time. Haiz. The tester shaked his head and started ticking, then I know THAT'S IT ALREADY. I know beat orange light quite alot of points (8 points) n I still got a LOOOOONG way to go for my outside driving. And I wasn't really in the mood, I was in that "Fark, fail already, now I do so well also no use" kind of mentality, and I started to drive with that "bochap" attitude, which I admit earns me all the demerit points from all kinds of mistakes.

It's really a bonus that I can get a re-test juz 3 days after the last attempt. Indeed, even school candidates may not be as lucky arz. So I guess I really shouldn't be too mindful abt that. Shld juz concentrate on my next test which I think shld be late April/early May arz.

Owellz, FAILED 2 TIMES ALREADY. I know I'm stupid n lousy. I will indulge in self-mourning these few days.

30 DEMERIT POINTS

Haiz, demn sianz lar... To be frank, TILL THE MOMENT I FINISHED MY TEST, I THOUGHT MAYBE CAN PASS LORZ... Cuz I think I drive like still okay..but turns out... gosh... When I went inside the room then he started to tick n tick n tick... SIANZ. My mistakes:

NARROW COURSE:
(a) S course: Fail to confirm safety - 4 points
(b) Crank Course: Fail to confirm safety - 4 points
(c) Dir. Change: Fail to confirm safety - 4 points

PARKING:
(a) Parallel Parking: Fail to confirm safety - 4 points
(b) Vertical Parking: Fail to confirm safety - 4 points

So I got 20 points JUST IN CIRCUIT alone, and all thanks to THE SAME THING!

FORWARD DRIVING:
40) Fail to use appropriate gear - 2 points x 2 = 4 points

SAFETY CHECK:
51) Incorrect checking of blindspot/mirror - 2 points x 3 = 6 points

Owellz, I donno wat's the problem lar. According to the tester, he say then whenever I wan to exit the parking lot/S course/crank course etc, he say I NEVER TILT MY HEAD TO LOOK AT THE BACK.

OMG.... I THOUGHT THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THIS THING CALL REAR-MIRROR? So I was telling him I got check rear mirror... BUT he just told me say "Not only must u check rear mirror, u r suppose to tilt ur head to LOOK AT THE BACK." Wah laoz, really meh? Cuz all along I never do that one lorz... I just see rear-mirror, the 2 side-mirrors, then the 2 blind-spots on the left n right, then can already mahz... SINCE WHEN MUST TILT my head to LOOK AT THE BACK 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????

Owellz, I learn this lesson thru 20 points... Thanks arz.. Safety safety safety... Then for the remaining 10 points at the outside route.. Okay lar, I admit it's my fault. I started off with gear2 instead of gear1.. Then when changing lane I admit I never check my blindspot, I only check that 3 mirrors then turn le.. Owellz, I deserved that 10 points lar... BUT THAT 20 POINTS I just feel demn... Argz... wasted lar.

Now say also too late liaoz, next Monday hope I can just maintain my skills then TURN MY HEAD TO LOOK BEHIND at the circuit... (Although I seriously think is very redundant, cuz when u move out of ur parking lot, is 100% COMMON sense there's NOTHING behind, and not only that, I believe rear mirrow is more than enough...)

頑張って　ください！

気持ちが　とても　悪い！！！！！！

I think it's VERY VERY annoying lar! And yes, I'm refering to my driving instructor. Since last week, I already told him CLEARLY that I shall have driving lessons on morning becuz afternoon I may need to give tuition.

THEN YESTERDAY HE JUZ SUDDENLY SMS ME THAT CANNOT HAVE LESSON ON WED MORNING, so change to afternoon.

OKAY, FINE! IT HAS BEEN LIKE 12345678 times already.

So I told my student I got smth on then I cannot go tuition. Wah laoz, so bad of me. ANYWAY, then...

Just now at 415pm like that I left home cuz he told me to meet 5pm at Circuit. Then when I was on the bus, then he SUDDENLY call me say HE LOST THE BOOKING SLIP TO GO INSIDE CIRCUIT....

WAH LAOZ!

Then in the end he told me don't go Ubi driving centre, just wait at Eunos. FINE, so I reach Eunos MRT at 430pm. Then after that I call him, say how lar. He just say wat "Nvm, today don't do circuit, we just do normal driving.. And I think I cnt come on time, so I just meet u at 530pm"

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I guess at this point my blood was boiling liaoz. I SACRIFICED MY TUITION JUST TO GET ALL THESE SHIT!?

CAN YOU ALL BELIEVE IT!!!!??? He wans me to WAIT FOR ONE HOUR AT EUNOS MRT STATION FOR HIM TO COME JUST FOR A NON-CIRCUIT LESSON!!!!!!!!?????

WAH LAOZ. I was super duper pissed at that time lar. At 1st I was like some stupid IDIOT waiting lar.. Then until at abt 450pm, I guess I really can't stand it anymore so I just call him to tell him I GOT SMTH ON AND JUST CANCEL THE LESSON arz.

Anyway, I really got no mood for the driving test on Friday. Watever is the outcome, I don't really give a fuck. If I fail, I CONFIRM will go find another instructor 1.

Pissed

Anyway, my post is refering to 2 person.

Fark. I just feel so pissed off now lar. I really HATE ppl who just keep changing the timing as and when they like. If they can't make it, then just say so. I rather DON'T GO for it then to "force" myself to go. I don't like ppl to just say "O.. since I'm not free on XXX timing, then u just come on YYY timing" and smth like that. Fark, even though I'm free now, doesn't mean that I am OBLIGED to go. I'm not one who likes to change my time-table easily, EVEN if I am free. If I say one timing, then it's THAT timing. Don't piss me off by keep changing to another timing just becuz YOU cannot make it.

What rotten luck. I haven even found a job. Fark, am I just so SUAY or what? Maybe I'm JUST that suay lar, blardy hell. ANGRY lar. @#$%^&*()@#$%^&.

Tokyo Railway

Last week's lesson touched abit on the Tokyo Railway map. Hmm.. No wonder my sensei said she HATES going to Tokyo cuz transportation is so.. complicated. And indeed after studying the map for some time, I STILL CANNOT figure out exactly how to travel, where to change train etc etc. Owellz, guess Singaporeans shouldn't complain too much when the circle line is up, saying it's so complicated or wat. Wait till they try on the MRT in Tokyo (which I never try b4) then they will know wat's really meant by "complicated".

And in order to come up with a better "strategy" of improving my LISTENING, I have transferred the content in the listening compre CD to my mp3 player. So now I can listen anywhere, anytime, even when I'm outside I can listen for fun to try to "imprve" my listening. Actually b4 today I never really play the CD, so today I spent quite a significant amt of time listening to my mp3 player, but is actually doing the listening compre arz.

Wah laoz, how BAD can my listening be. I can like replay up to FIVE times just to be 100% sure of the content, b4 I write down my answer when answering the questions. Okay lar, I know this very bad. I guess the Japanese ppl will not have tt much patience if I wan them to repeat like 5 times. -_-''' But gradually as I repeat the listening, I think can get the hang of it as I do subsequent questions.. So still not tt bad lar. Hopefully by the time I complete this 楽しく聞こう vol.1, then at least my listening is "good" enough to PASS JLPT4 listening. I know my listening for JLPT is gone case. I give myself at most 20% correct, and I will be more than happy enough.

Reality of working in Japanese company?

Just came back from "Lao Yu Sheng" with my Japanese Language classmates after lesson at some nearby Chinese restaurant. Okay arz, almost my whole class went even though it was so so last minute 1.. And luckily in my opinion, my classmates, ALL of them are quite friendly, can clique with them arz. So studying Japanese Language during class also won't be that "xin ku" cuz we will ask each other when we donno how to do n stuff. Not like "loner" like tt.

And as usual, I'm the youngest, and I am the only person not working. Wah laoz, everyone else is working liao lorz, the "2nd youngest" person in my class is like 5 yrs older than me. Haiz, nvm lar, I admit I'm just newbie, lolx. And as expected, some of them were "sent" for Japanese classes because they work in Japanese company, and they have to learn at least abit of Jap to communicate with their superiors lorz. So I also took this chance to find out from most of them about how's their Japanese superiors are like. And sadly, I think I receive quite bad feedbacks. From what they told me, these Japanese workers, if they work in Japan, they got no chance to shine. But the moment they get posted out, example like to Singapore, they r like the KING lorz, cuz they can "boss" ppl around n they tend to think they r "more superior" than Singaporeans. Owellz, expected lar. It's like look at things from another angle.. U r a Singaporean n u get posted to country maybe like Indonesia or Vietnam or what, obviously u will think tt u suddenly become so "big" in terms of ur status. And my classmates told me some of their Japanese bosses/managers got no basic manners 1 lorz, Like they use the utensils in the pantry, dirty the place n never bother washing up after usage etc etc. Wah laoz, it's just so "different" from the "typical" image of Japanese ppl.

Owellz, from their knowledge of their company, it's really NOT easy for Singaporean workers to get posted to Japan. But tt's unless u r working for a "non-Japanese" company that is based in Japan lar (which is actually what I wan, lolx..) The Japanese bosses will rather choose a fellow Japanese for a high ranking post, even though this person may not be as skillful as another who is a non-Japanese. Okay lar, as expected, Japan doesn't welcome foreigners, if not why will they label us as "ALIENS" whenever we go to Japan's immigration counter at the airport. (And that's in the past)

But whatever it is, everyone of us has our own reasons for learning Japanese, but most r becuz "bobian, suck thumb, superior wan me to learn" tt kind of excuse, but wellz, I guess there's really no harm in learning lar. And even though I receive quite negative feedbacks of their Japanese colleagues in their workplace, I think I'm still determined to go Japan to enhance my career. It's like if some "top uni grad" from Bangladesh comes to Singapore work, I think many Singaporeans will despise or bias against him. So I guess is the same logic lar, if I wan to work in Japan, I must face the fact I am nth but just a "second class citizen" regardless how "high" my education is compared to my fellow Japanese colleagues, as what my dys1 has told me b4. And that explains why my dys1 say OVER HIS DEAD BODY will he wan to work in Japan even though he got his degree there.

Each of his own bahz. Let everyone work towards his/her dreams. As long u deem this is wat u want, I guess all of us shld just work towards it regardless of what others have to say.

I was browsing the JLPT forum just now, and some ppl were saying they have received their results already! OMG lar, but then these ppl are those who took the test in Japan, so from what I know, their result is suppose to be release in Feb arz.. Haiz, overseas candidates will have to wait till March as it takes "time" to fly the test results from Japan to the rest of the world. Owellz, juz have to wait lorz... Pls let me pass!

Haiz, sucks. A few days ago I called up a job agency to register to find job. So basically I told the agent like my education level, then where I'm going to study etc etc. Fine.

Then just now I received a call, and it was from the agency, omg, made me so happy. But turns out, haiz. So basically this is wat happened:

Agent: Hmm.. That time u told me you going NTU Accountancy rite?
Me: Yaz.
Agent: Hmm... U know what's accouting about?
Me: Hmm.. DOn't know, I know nuts abt accouting.
Agent: Arz? U never learn accouting in O-level or A-level b4?
Me: Eh... Don't have arz..
Agent: Wow, then that means u don't even know wat's debit or credit?
Me: Huhz? I donno accouting at all arz.
Agent: Huhz.. Like that arz.. Cause I have a vacancy which requires u to know some basic accouting knowledge.. But u donno anything.. Like quite hard arz.
Me: Arz.. Nvm arz, I think u just help me find some other admin job or what arz.
Agent: Okay, I'll contact u again.

HAIZ HAIZ HAIZ. Wah laoz, sucks man, just when I thought I have found a job, haiz, sianz. But then again, it's true lar, I don even know accouting, if I "pretend" I know, then go sure die 1. Make a fool of myself, then also mess up the accounts sheet lorz. Owellz, maybe 1 yr later during the May-July holiday then I can "try" working some accouting company.

Uni fees increase again, especially for SMU. OMG lar, 9K per yr.. It's alot larz.. So for me going to NTU, that extra 3K can use for japanese classes/japanese books, as compared to going SMU.

And just now I realised I'm abit "out-dated" with the current O-level syllabus after looking at my new sec4 student's tys. Firstly, from what I know, our E-maths last time the P1 is CANNOT use calculator rite? Then it's like now the E-maths, both P1 and P2 also can use lorz. Lolx, and I feel paisehz when I forbid her from using calculator even though she was allowed to use. And also the syllabus like change quite abit. O-level E-maths has new chapters such as Set Notations and Matrices, which I remember was in A-maths last time. So overall is the same lar, u got harder chapters, but now u can just use calculator for P1 and P2... And ends up nobody BOTHERS using "mental sum". Okay lar, I also admit my mental sum quite cui nowadays.. But watever lar, got calculator can liaoz. And I really wonder wat's the A-maths syllabus now.. Maybe they will teach chapters like AP/GP or Complex Numbers which I learn in C-maths? Never know lorz... The syllabus is forever getting harder n harder.. Owellz.. I'm glad I'm not born 5 yrs later..

And then just now after the first session, the mother was like asking me "Can u teach comb sci(phy) as well? Cuz her brother, who is sec3, like quite weak in phy..so wat do u think?" Wah laoz, I also donno wat to say, cuz my phy really sucks like hell... So I just say I see first arz.. Owellz, take one step at a time.

青山テルマ

[そばにいるね]青山テルマ feat.SoulJa



ああああ!! この歌がとても好きです。じゃ、青山テルマ は21歳ですね。今、この歌は日本の"Oricon Chart"は二番ね！有名な歌。最近、この歌いつもが聞いて　います。でも、最近　おなかが痛い。じゃ、無理の食事を　食べては　いけません。中国の正月は　おもしろくなかった！

Nvm, 大丈夫です。英語が使う。Anyway, the song above.. Demn nice arz! Okay lar, I know the singer not pretty, but at least her song is so popular it has been no.2 in Oricon chart for quite long already. Keep repeating n repeating this song lorz.

Quite happy that I have gotten 2 more new students yesterday when the agency called me. Wahahaz, one sec4 gal and one sec3 boy. Actually as most ppl know, being a male tutor, it may be quite inconvenient to teach a female student and so the parents worry arz.. So haiz, I can only teach when the parents are around. But nvm lar, at least it's so demn near my house(At MengYang's JC: VJC) there, so quite convenient for me to go there. Then the other sec3 boy is at upper paya lebar there.. Okay lar, got direct bus 24 to there, so quite convenient also. And thus far I have 4 students liaoz (The sec1 boy n sec2 boy is teach together, so is actually 3 assignments only arz). The sec4 gal is teach E-Maths and Comb. Sci(Chem only), which is exactly same as the sec5 boy I taught last yr, so I guess shld be quite familiar since I last yr did read-up so much majiam I'm taking O-level as well. But for tt sec3 boy, wah laoz, is teach one subject, which is Comb. Sci(Chem + Phy).. Piangz, I think my physics sucks like hell lar, I scared wait I cannot solve then die. But then again.. Now is the start of the yr, and is only sec3, tt means at most he now should be still at the what "Physical Quantities" or "Kinematics" chaps arz.. Maybe study newton force?? Donno lar.. And hence I not need to go read the WHOLE phy TB, if not jialat liaoz. If now want me to teach the wat stupid waves or electromagnetism or stuff like tt, I think sure GG. So hopefully this sec3 boy ain't much of a problem too... HOPE lar..

ORD!!

FINALLY GOT BACK MY PINK IC!!!!

Okay lar, was so busy the past 2 days tt I slept only like 5 hrs per night. Monday was basically an "excursion" to my reservice unit - 769 SIR which is the new Infantry Training Institue(ITI) at Jurong camp there. I looked at the map... Wah laoz, I think only like 2km walk away from NTU lorz. It's very very sianz lar. 4SIR is already located so near to NTU, then next time Jurong camp is even nearer to NTU. I donno y NTU is surrounded by so many camps lar. Anyway, the facilities at ITI are SO DEMN NEW as compared to 4SIR and I also saw my reservice battalion RSM. Wah laoz, the way he talked arz, nobody likes him already, and he can still say what "I look forward to working with u all during reservice". Yucks lar, he's like so @#$%^&. Owellz, watever, wait till reservice is here then I care.

And yesterday was the combat shoot. OKAY LAR, it was demn easy as compared to ATP. Wahahaz, and SURPRISINGLY, I got 15/15 for day shoot. But then wah laoz, at the end of it, like 6 details out of 7 details got marksman, so tt explains how "idiot-proof" and easy the shoot was. But night shoot sucks lar, CUZ MY STUPID LAD light SPOILT, whereby everyone else who has common sense will obviously use the LAD light instead of throught the scope. It's like u look at the scope at night u cannot see properly lar, as compared to using LAD. N suck thumb lorz, I have no choice but to juz use the scope to shoot. But luckily didn't bo-bo, missed only 3 shoots for night shoot out of the 15. So I guess this combat shoot is really 100000000 times EASIER than ATP lar. But most impt I can pass and no need re-shoot, then tt's good enough.

And today's the grand finale, where there's CNY celebration + giving out of pink IC to those Feb ORD ppl. Okay lar, alot of ppl were busy finding the relevant ppl to sign clearance form so tt we can get back our IC. Only 90+ ppl ORD in Feb, whereas the remaining 300+ ppl will ORD in march. Luckily mine wasn't much of a problem, managed to get all the signatures and hence got back my IC together with my Certificate of Service from CO during the ceremony. But there's still an ORD dinner in march, and so will still see the ppl soon..

And life still goes on, not like it's very "big deal" to get back ur pink IC. Owellz, true, it only means that one stage of ur life has been completed, and now is the start of another, which I guess shld be working part-time to earn money lorz. Actually while writing this, I could still remember very clearly during those weeks of A-levels, when I curse n swear everyday that studying is so demn @#$%^&*@#$%^&*. Where I really really really juz felt like ponning one subject, scolding myself y I find trouble by taking one extra subject. Everyday drank so many cups of coffee juz to stay awake to mug. Memorise Bio till @#$%^&*(. The thoughts of those days simply turn me off, and I donno if I can make it next time anotz. Owellz, nvm, just wait till 6 more months bahz. For now is juz happily studying Japanese to prepare JLPT3 end of the yr.

And last of all, Happy Chinese New Yr to everybody!

気持ちが悪い!!!!

Demn sianz. Tml morning need to book in back and then wait till Wed then book out. Haiz, wat a blardy waste of time.

初めて..

じゃ...　僕の初めて日本語が使いですね。
今日の日本語授業は簡単ですね。でも、僕の聴解はあまりわからないですね。いくら勉強したら、私は日本語が下手です。

来週の日本語授業がないから、午後は暇ですね。いいね！では、僕は幸せな人に　なります。

Finally I'm able to input some Japanese characters. But I'm just writing rubbish above lar, next time I think must study more so that I will know what I wan to write, and try to be as grammatically correct as possible.

頑張ってください!!!

Haiz, I also don't know what's the problem with me lar. Sumtimes I think my driving still okay.. Then there will be times when my driving is so @#$%^&*. It's very demoralising lar, n summore my test is in 3 weeks time. HAIZ HAIZ HAIZ. Actually I also donno leh, cuz I realised one thing. I CANNOT DRIVE PROPERLY DURING RAINY DAYS LAR. Not tt I cannot see properly, is the problem with the carpet and my shoes. Cuz u know typical sneakers or sport shoes, their soles are made of rubber rite. Then the carpet is also made of rubber rite? So when both r wet n they r rubbing against each other, then will produce a screeching sound tt simply piss me off lar. Then not only tt lar, I find it more difficult to control the clutch pedal, like when I wan to slowly release to biting point (based on gut feel and past experiences), then gently release rite.. But when it's wet, and I release abit, like the car NEVER move.. FINE, so I release "abit" more then engine either stall or take ages to move off. Wah laoz, demn pek cek lar!!!!!!!!

Okay lar, I know I sound as if I'm making excuses.. But the thing is I really HATE HATE to hear tt screeching sound whenever I release the clutch pedal. And it juz ruined my mood and my drivng becomes demn terrible. U know, when u pek cek, u juz like "ARZ>> FARK LAR, DON'T CHECK BLIND SPOT, DON'T TURN ON SIGNAL LIGHT..." blah blah.. I think I sure kana car accident if I drive while I'm in bad mood.

Listening...

And just now I went back to camp JUST TO do a stupid ABSD survey (aka commitment survey), which I have done so many times b4. Owellz, nvm, at least this is the LAST time I'm doing it..

And after MUCH much thinking on HOW to improve my Japanese Listening, I bought the "Tanoshiku Kikou 1 + 2" which comprises of 2 books and 4 CDs. Okay lar, cuz I was surfing the MOELC then realise they use this to teach O-level Japanese Listening component.. And summore got the CDs and answer, so can easily replay n replay n replay a few hundred times until I can UNDERSTAND what the hell they r toking abt. And I think these 2 books shld be MORE THAN enough for me to practise my listening till JLPT3 level, although it's definitely way below sufficient for JLPT2, but hecks, I shld just concentrate on clearing my JLPT3 this yr 1st..

And so juz now I was looking at chapter1 (Numerals) for the listening book. So expected lar, confirm is test on all the ichi, ni, san, yon, go roku, nana..bla blah blah.. And so I played the CD, okay, starting still okay, but when they tok big big numbers like a hundred thousands tt kind then I think I'm listening to Greek liao arz. Wah laoz, this shows how terrible my listening is.. And summore listening constitues 25% leh in JLPT, so CANNOT afford to just waste tt 25%. Maybe JLPT4 can afford to screw up listening, but then from JLPT3 onwards, whereby the grammar n vocab also getting harder, then must try to score in all components arz. I think maybe I shld just keep replaying, n replaying n REPLAY non-stop until I can make sense of the "spoken japanese" in the CD....

Yakuza Moon

So I finally read finish "Yakuza Moon" which JingWen lent me yesterday. I think most ppl shld know that book, cuz it's like placed over the counter at most book stores, meaning how popular this book is which can be compared to books such as Harry Potter. Btw, Yakuza (Gokudo - 極道) means gangster in Japanese society arz.

Let me copy from the website an overview of the book:

A shocking yet intensely moving first-person account of one woman's experience of growing up in Japan's yakuza society.Born into the family of a wealthy yakuza boss, Shoko Tendo lives her early years in luxury. But labeled "the yakuza kid," she is the victim of bullying and discrimination from teachers and classmates at school, and of her father's violent rages at home. The family falls into debt, and Tendo falls in with the wrong crowd. By the age of fifteen she is a gang member, by the age of eighteen a drug addict, and her young adulthood is marked by a series of abusive and violent relationships with men.After the death of her parents and her own attempt at suicide, Tendo turns her life around. A pivotal moment is the decision to get tattooed: an act of empowerment that helps her take control of her life.This is the universally appealing story of a young woman's successful struggle to escape from a life of ostracism and abuse, and a rare glimpse into Japan's closed yakuza worldfrom an insider's viewpoint.

Somehow I think this book makes me kinda emotional as I was reading it. It's like at such a very young age (pri sch age), she already faced difficulties/challenges which most of us can't imagine. She was hooked on drugs, hang out with the wrong crowd, had sex with countless men, be it "willingly" or "forced". Then being abused physically by men, meaning kana beaten up umpteen times, until gonna die tt kind. But of cuz, the part which I was most touched, was when she felt very sorry towards her parents, for all her wrong doings and rebellious acts. However, before she could have a chance to repent to repay back her parents, her parents didn't live long and passed away. Haiz, I really felt sorry for Shoko San. In short, I think her life was one which normal ppl like me and you cannot imagine, and you will go "wow" or "omg!" as u read the book. Really, it's totally amazing that being traumatised so much throughout her growing stage life, she was able to repent in the end and forget her unhappy past. I guess not many ppl will be able to take it arz.

And from the book, I also learnt one thing. Okay, not that I learn from the book, cuz I also got thought of it b4. Just tt Yakuza Moon so-called "reassures" my thinking. When you are young, you are so naive and gullible, thinking how "perfect" this world is, living in a carefree life. But as u grow up, enter the society, interact with all sorts of weird ppl u can ever imagine, then u will start to realise what a broken down world we r in. Everything around us is just illusions and pack of lies most of the time. Those so-called "moral values" that we learn in pri sch/sec sch CME lessons are just bull-shit. Integrity? Dignity? They are just bull-shit lar. Just how many ppl around us can give u tt image "Wow..this person got integrity sia" or smth like tt. It's like very RARE lorz. Instead I think u bump into scums or jerks more often than not. However, Yakuza Moon proves that family kinship is really impt. Right at the end of the day, although after going thru so much quarrels/fights, the ones that r gonna stay by u is not ur "Hi-bye friend" but ur very own family members. No matter how screwed or farked-up r u, ur family will still be the one that stays by ur side.

Bleahz, I talk majiam I like giving some CME lesson. Owellz, I also don't know why I'm saying all these. Maybe cuz I find that book so fantastic that it's really really worth the money to buy and read it.

And I think I find it very very hard trying to memorise the possible pairs of transitive verbs and intransitive verbs. Piangz. Just hope that I won't take AGES to memorise arz...

ORD.. NOT in peace

Although it's ONE WEEK left to ORD.... Seems like I have so many things to do. Next week Tues there's combat shoot lar. Wtf!? Just a few days b4 ORD then also wan to have combat shoot. Sucks lar. Meaning I must book in on Mon night then have the shoot on Tues, then stay overnight until Wed(CNY eve). And just now my friend sms me say "Ehz.. u know next Wed CO wans to hold a parade to give out the IC to those ORD-ing next week.." I was like "OMGGGGGGGGGGG!! This is so LAME lar, wah laoz, take back IC also wan to hold some parade!?" It's really demn amusing to hear that lar, cuz if it's like typical ORD parade then still okay lorz, like invite parents, wear no.1 tt kind or watz. BUT IT'S LIKE JUST TO GIVE OUT OUR PINK IC!!!!???? Demn boliao lar. Haiz, so basically next week my Tues is burnt due to the shoot, then Wed morning during the parade take back IC must faster get the hell outta camp lar. Really lorz, I can't stand my unit. Even the last 2 days of ORD also must come out with stunts. Haiz. Nvm, for the sake of the pink IC, seems like I also got NO CHOICE but to go back to do the shoot + attend the parade. Sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks.

Haiz. I'm really worried whether I will be able to get my driving license b4 sch starts in Aug. A few days ago, my father said he wans to sell away my sis's stupid Hyundai Matrix (farked up car) and most probably will buy Nissan Latio (which I think in any way is BETTER than Matrix). As ULTIMATELY I'm gonna drive to NTU for the next 3 yrs everyday, so of cuz it's impt that I like the car lar. Anyway, my parents wanted both of us to have equal usage next time, but NO WAY lar. Fuck. My sis stays in that stupid hostel for 4 yrs, and as a result for the past 4 yrs she doesn't even care a single shit that happens in the house. Everytime juz come back on Sat then Sun go back, n of cuz never help out at all. And of cuz for the past 4 yrs I'm NOT happy. Not that I miss her presence, cuz I will definitely quarrel with her most of the time. Is just that she managed to "smoke" her way out of many things during this 4 yrs. U know, like saikang or watever shit. And even though she lives in hostel, MY FATHER ALLOWS HER TO DRIVE THAT FARKING MATRIX TO HER HOSTEL LAR.

WTF!!?? U stay hostel, then still can drive to sch? why? Why? WHY!!!!???? JUST BECAUSE YOURS TRULY DOESN'T HAVE A FARKING DRIVING LICENSE. Of cuz I'm not happy. U know, I don't like it why she so SHIOK. First, she can siam so many things. Secondly, stay in hostel still can DRIVE to sch. My goodness, I'm demn demn DEMN buey song.

And so during family dinner just now, I DEMANDED that if I can get my license, then I shall have priority in using that NEW NORMAL PLATE NISSAN LATIO. Of cuz lar, since I don't stay in hostel, then I shall drive lar. Then my sis said wat during weekdays, when I come back from sch, then at night she use the car. Then weekends must let her use the car also. NO WAY LAR. If I can, I will like 7am leave house then I return at 10pm tt kind. EVen I have NOTHING on, I will purposely stay in sch to "STUDY" until late late then go home. And I declared loudly I shall VOLUNTEER to go back sch on Saturday to do projects or study. Obviously in a demn sacarstic tone that my family didn't like. But I also don't care. Then if I really drive to sch, especially between 7am to 9am on weekdays, must pay $2 per day for the ERP. Then must consider carpark, ERP usage, then petrol. So maybe one month will need around $500 to $700?? Fark lar, not that I'm paying. And I think I like so choosy. I say I want normal plate(obviously), then the meter must not be in the middle 1, such as Hyundai Matrix or Toyota Vios. Fark man, don't u all find it demn inconvenient that it's in the middle? Wah laoz, like so retarded lar. And of course must be AUTO car. For hell's sake, I can't DRIVE a manual car!

And guess what? My sis said "O..nvm lorz, don't buy new car. Just change the matrix red plate to normal plate" O fark man, I knew she will say that.

And hence, I said perhaps after CNY, then I shld learn class2A license also. And since I'm gonna work for the next 6 months, then if WORSE COME TO WORSE, if there is no DECENT car for me to drive, then maybe I spend like 5K to buy a motorbike then ride to NTU everyday lar. Of cuz they worried, but I replied in a sacarstic manner "Aiyaz, NO MONEY DRIVE CAR THEN RIDE BIKE LORZ. If die then die lorz. Not that my life is worth $1000000000 or smth like that".

Bottom line is: I shall not take MRT/bus to NTU. NO NO NO NO WAY MAN!!!!!! The options are either I drive or I ride bike.

But why am I so stubborn?> I also donno leh. I think I'm demn pissed that I didn't go to Japan. Maybe I still have grudges over them, Everything I also think of myself. I then don't care abt how it will affect others. So next time even if I can just spend $110 on the MRT + Bus concession and take public transport to sch like most students did, I also don wan, I rather be spendthrift and like use up $500 a month so that "I can travel to sch."

And hence, I really hope I can pass my driving test! Hope I can get my driving license ASAP. And most impt get it b4 Aug. If I can't get either my driving/bike license, then fark it, I'm such a balrdy loser man.

I'm pissed lar. I'm angry. I don't care. I want things my way.

Work @ Kinokuniya??

And after much thought, I have decided to apply to be a part-time cashier at Kinokuniya(Orchard). Okay arz, it's weekdays from 6pm to 10pm... So if I really can get the job, then maybe I will need to find some other job so tt I can do during day time. I went for the walk-in interview and there were quite a number of ppl who wanna apply to work in Kino too. Argz.. Just hope I can get mine. And the interview was basically talking cock, first look at my o-level n a-level cert. So the interviewer asked where I'm going n I say NTU Acct and she was like "Hmm.. Okay..." Don't know what tt means. Anyway, then she asked me describe my personality. As expected, I just say I LOVE Japanese and I bought alot of Japanese books which I think cost abt $500++ in total so far? Say I'm currently attending JLPT3 level Japanese course. It's really tok cock lar. So towards the end, she just say that if I'm short-listed, then I will be notified within the next 2 weeks, b4 CNY, as I agreed with her that I shall start work on 11/02/08, which is the week after CNY/ORD. So okay lar, if by CNY/ORD I nv receive any news then I shall go recruit express to find work lorz. So now also no harm trying. If I can get the job, then it's a bonus. If cannot, then nvm lorz, find some other full-time job to work until Aug.

Karma???

So I went for my dental FFI with some of my camp friends. It's like wait 45 minutes and then u go in less than one minute come out liaoz. -_-''' Owellz, nvm, not that I'm gonna have another dental FFI again.

And so I was chatting with a friend of mine how's things in camp ever since I was on "off+leave" from last last fri till now.. And he told me so many things happened! Okay, to make things easier, let's name these 3 person, Mr. A, Mr. B and Mr. C. So in terms of rank/appt, A is the biggest, followed by B then C.

In terms of my relationship with them, Mr. A is okay to me, Mr. B is okay too but can be a fucker at times, then Mr.C is a demn blardy farker at all times. oO.. Btw, Mr.C always suck up to Mr.B and Mr.A, then Mr.B will always suck up to Mr.A.

And so within this one week or so, bad things happened to A and B. For Mr. A, it seems that his car was badly vandalised and damaged by someone. Tyres kana punctured, kana splashed acid till the metal corroded away, all the windows kana smashed, kana scratched, lots of paints, blah blah. It seems the person who did it was able to "switch off' the alarm or smth like tt, and so it didn't ring till the next day when Mr. A went down to his house carpark to see his car in such pathetic state. And it seems that the repair cost abt 10K lorz.. that's alot man... Of cuz he was demn angry and knew sum1 in camp did it, but then I also donno who did it. Okay, fine, but then Mr.A offended too many ppl in camp (excluding me) that he also didn't know which guy did such a thing to his car.

For Mr. B.. Wellz, in the past, there was a case when one of his men's wife was abt to give birth, but he refused to let him book out to accompany his wife during the labour. But overall in daily life, he's a SUPER wayang person, and just like Mr. A, many ppl curse n swear at them. N according to my friend, this Mr. B's wife has a miscarriage last week and he was very upset over it. But to the rest out there, they don't sympathize with him n in fact, felt he deserved it.

And so now is Mr. C. When he heard n knew abt wat happened to the 2 of them, he cried with them. Some ppl guess that perhaps he just wanna WAYANG to suck up to them, must like "act abit" to show he share with them their sorrows blah blah. But some ppl who r of the "same level" as Mr.C felt that he cried becuz he felt that smth might happen to him, after seeing such things happened to Mr.A and Mr.B. Of cuz, like I mentioned earlier, this Mr.C is the most blardy farker.

Personally, I'm someone who believes in karma. If you always like to do all sorts of funny things to saboh ppl, ill-treat them, blah blah, then u shld know sooner or later, u will get punished. I believe regardless of what religion u r in, we believe the "good gets good and bad gets the bad". It's just a matter of time. I don't have to curse this Mr.C now, although he really did alot of shit to me in the past, that up to now I still cannot 4get how a fucker he is.

So Mr. C, you better be careful. I won't say anything, I won't do anything. I will leave it to supernatural to judge u.

So morale of the story, pls stop thinking that u can get away with things if u know u always do evil things to ppl. Okay lar, I admit I do get back at certain ppl as usually they stepped on my tail first. But watever it is, Karma applies to everyone. Applies to me and you, so don't be naive n indulge in some kind of "self'-denial" that "oO.. Nth shall happen to me. I shall smoke thru everything". To such a person, I can only say one thing: "GO TO HELL!!!"

Driving Sucks.

I think my driving really sucks. Not just sucks, but sucks to the max! Sumtimes I just get so disappointed with myself wat an idiot I can be when comes to driving, making tons of errors with lousy techniqes and such low regard for safety. Haiz. And it's 1 more month to my driving test. To be frank, I won't be surprised if I get 30+ or 40+ demerit points for my first driving lesson. Really, my psycho-motor skills really DEMN TERRIBLE lar.

Haiz. Sad lar. Sumhow I regretted never learn Auto. But then again, it's not as if Auto is as easy as most ppl think. Afterall, if ur driving skills suck, don't care auto or manual also CMI. So I shld stop blaming on y I nv learn auto, but instead blame on y my driving so terrible.

So I continued lesson 41 of Minna No Nihongo at the Japanese Language School which I attended last year. Hmm... Luckily this time round I did abit of self-study b4 lesson, so today's 3 hrs of Japanese lesson wasn't that "alien" to me. Compared to last year when I was so busy and with so little free time, to choke out time for studying Japanese was so difficult and ended up I always get lost in wonderland. And this time round I think both my lecture and tutorial sensei are good. Lecture is taught by Naomi sensei and tutorial by Reiko sensei. Actually some of the students who were taught by them previously also have very good comments abt them, so okay arz, at least not like previously my tutorial sensei. OMG lorz, so terrible, her lesson was so boring that during lect there were 10 students, but after the 15 minute break when tutorial comes then left 4 students only, cuz the rest all find it too sucky to stay for tutorial. But this time round the tutorial was good as the sensei got engage the class in discussions, so no one finds it bored n stuff like tt.

Then Reiko sensei actually reminded me of my RSM.

-_-'''

Because throughout the tutorial lesson, she will ask for ボランティア Borantia (aka Volunteer) to answer some questions or to construct examples. Then of cuz everyone just act blur lorz and then pretend to look at the book but was praying hard won't so suay kana picked. But okay arz, in the end everyone got the fair share of being called out to become " ボランティア " of her ques. And apparantly Reiko Sensei is from Hiroshima, although I had this stereotype that Japanese sensei are usually from Tokyo. But okay arz, doesn't matter, not as if my Japanese level is high enough to differentiate between Tokyo dialect/Osaka dialect/Hiroshima dialect/Hokkaido dialect etc etc. They all sound almost the same to me lorz. -_-'''

As this term of lesson41 to lesson50 is the last portion of Minna No Nihongo which basically marks the end of the whole JLPT3 syllabus, both sensei urged us to revise and recap our lesson1 to 40 frequently, and to ask them ANY questions asap if we have any. This is because 10 weeks later when we finish lesson50, it will be a brand new JLPT2 syllabus and they say the teaching system will be slightly different, and of course the sensei will ASSUME that everyone has strong basic foundation of Lesson1 to lesson50. Haiz, so now I still got 10 weeks or so to fully revise and practise. Hope by then I can complete ALL my assessment books/kanzen master/tys. Nvm, I got plenty of time till CNY. Shall mug harder.

Was surfing the Channel Newsasia Website when I came across this:

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/323232/1/.html

Korean content available on MediaCorp's radio station in Feb

SINGAPORE: Korean content will be available from the beginning of next month on MediaCorp's radio station, FM96.3 The International Channel. The programme was officially launched at a signing ceremony between Briyo Media and MediaCorp Radio. The Korean segment will air between 9pm and 11pm on weekdays. It will include contemporary K-pop music, useful information on living in Singapore as well as the latest updates from Korea. This segment caters to the Korean community here and Singapore listeners who are interested in learning more about the Korean culture.

So that means next time morning 7am to 9am can listen to Japanese content while at night 9pm to 11pm can listen to Korean content. Hmm... ... I wonder how it will be like.

日本語...

So this week I have been waking up punctually at abt 7am everyday to tune in FM 96.3 and study my Japanese while listening to the Japanese FM. Initially I got very excited cuz it's like I can listen to spoken Japanese!! But then after awhile, I realised certain advertisement keep repeating in Japanese, and it's GETTING VERY IRRTATING lorz. Cuz can repeat n repeant n REPEAT God knows how many times. And better still, got one session I think last for 10 minutes, then is about LEARNING CHINESE. That one is also demn #$%^&*. Cuz is abt 2 Japanese, then one teaching the other Chinese, so obviously the "student" was speaking very terrible Chinese... Which I hear liao also find very weird lar. However, there's also certain programmes which I enjoy. Example is TRAFFIC REPORTING. Just like all radio FM, they will tend to report like which roads got accidents, got traffic jams etc etc. So the same lorz, juz that in Japanese. Then arz, amazingly, I can only understand words like "PIE, CTE, ECP etc etc".

-_-'''

OF COURSE LAR. These are the only audible English words which the DJ say.. Other than that all the words are in Japanese, including places in Singapore, such as クレメンティ (Kurementi) and チャンギ (Changi) then I can understand lorz. If not basically is toking alien lang with a few familiar words here n there... N of cuz is toking at 新幹線 speed.

I think soon I'm gonna spend a bomb to buy some Japanese Language software so that next time I can type Japanese in my comp, such as MSN n blogging. And I think blogging will really help alot. Okay lar, I know I have ALOT of grammatical errors, such that when I read some of my old posts, I will be like "WTF, how come my Eng like so kns, like so hard to digest also" Whatever lar, I believe that blogging is abt blogging in a style that u r comfortable with. Not that I'm writing some educational blogsite for ppl to learn. And with that, I guess soon I will try to blog in Japanese sometimes. Okay lar, although it's gonna be terrible grammar. But at least it can let me practise my Japanese vocab and some grammar structures often so it will make learning Japanese more naturally. (Although I know my tense will be wrong, and I will NEVER understand how Japanese particles work)

And I'm glad I spent this week quite meaningfully. Believe it anot, I actually mug an average of 6 to 7 hrs of Japanese everyday this week. Lolx.

So I bought 3 assessment books, 1 sec1 maths and 2 sec2 maths books at the Bras Basah Popular Bookstore. Not for me, but for my 2 new students. Actually arz, wah laoz, I don't even know what's their syllabus like now lorz. Then I also donno whether got choose correctly anotz.. In the end I juz go browse some maths TB then from there I juz see the assessment books got same chapters as the TB I just buy lorz. And to my greatest horror, they are learning SETS in sec2 maths. Wah laoz, I thought tt 1 is sec3 A-maths learn 1? I was browsing a O-level Biology TB, and then they are teaching stuff like donno wat cell division, got the prophase or telophase or donno wat phase. OMG lorz, cuz I know tt one A-level then I learn 1... Piangz, I think nowadays the standards are getting higher and higher. Sumtimes I'm just glad that I wasn't born like 10 yrs later... If not I think I sure die 1... I think maybe a few yrs later I won't be surprise if they teach differentiation/integration in lower sec maths? Lolx.. N so I wasted almost one hour popular.

After that I went to PIERCE 2 earholes on my left ear at Bugis Street. YES, 2 earholes at one go. Initially I was tempted to pierce maybe 3.. But I think don wan lar, just pierce 2 testing first. Yalorz, now pierced liao.. But okay lar, I don really feel it's PAINFUL or wat. Then now every few hrs or so must keep twisting the ear studs to make sure the pus or watever thingyi don get sticked to the ear studs, if not will become jialat. And these 2 earholes cost me $8, cuz is $4/hole.

Anyway, after that I went to buy 4 ear studs of different design, so that next time can put on. And most importantly I bought one packet of those transparent ear sticks, so when I go back camp I will have to switch to that. So mafan. Nvm, just hope for the next one month nth happens to my 2 earholes. No infection or stuff...

As for my 神風 (Kamikze) tattoo, I also donno leh.. Maybe I shall wait till after CNY when my 2 earholes more stable liao then I see how bahz...

CLEAR OFF AND LEAVE

Yesterday I gave my CSM my "Off + Leave clearance calendar" which I created. Cuz I also scared I put too much "OFF" on the dates then kana farked, so I just put like one week come back once lorz.. So actually I had like 5 or 6 days which I didn't cover up.. And with that piece of calendar, I showed my CSM, and was half thinking perhaps he will say 'WAH LAOZ, SINCE WHEN U GOT SO MANY OFFs ONE!?" or smth like tt.

So when I showed my CSM my calendar, he looked at it and say "Wow.. Why got blanks on some date 1?" Then I juz told him say I will come back on some days to help out abit in Audit lorz (Although it was demn bullshit).. And amazingly, he just said "Nvm lar, I just give u 3 more days OFFs, u go add inside then show me"

I was like -_-'''

So since he give I take lar, I went to edit and then my FINAL piece only means I need to come back for 2 more days, 30th Jan and 5th Feb (To do clearance n medical FFI n collect IC). And my CSM just say "Okay, can, u put one copy on OC table let him see in case he needs to know"
Lolx.. I didn't expect things to be so easy arz.

So now from now till 30th Jan I shall just ENJOY as much as I can. If not when ORD liao find work then cnt rest le. Owellz, so I got plenty of time to study my Japanese.. And to book many more driving lessons cuz I skip too many liaoz.

I think this week I have been mugging Japanese so intensively as if JLPT3 exam is coming in a few weeks time. -_-''' Okay lar, cuz my motive is to complete JLPT3 syllabus (And when I say complete means that I have memorised the 300 kanji, 1500 vocab words and 120 grammar structures, finish up all the assessment books and tys which I think I bought quite alot.)

But I think no matter how I study, my listening and speaking will still be very CMI. Haiz. Hopefully can complete by CNY/ORD.

Tutoring

So just now a tuition agency called me to ask whether I am interested in an assignment. Okay lar, $50 for 2 hrs... teaching LOWER SEC MATHS only... BUT then is teach 2 boys. A sec2 express and a sec1 normal academic (both of them r brothers). And luckily they stay super near me. Of course I took up this assignment w/o even thinking arz. Cuz lower sec maths I think should be OKAY lar. At least is not as bad as last year when I taught the sec5 Maths and Chem... WAH LAOZ.. Must go revise the WHOLE O-level syllabus again.. Kns lar. So now I learn my lesson lar, I'm not gonna take any sec5 or sec4 students taking O-levels soon.. Really can die lar.. Imagine u have to go thru the whole syllabus with the student.. Then must do alot of self read-up to refresh. Piangz, for me I admit I CMI lar.. So the best is I stick with sec1 to sec3 level lorz.. Summore now is start of yr shld be so slack, not like tt time the sec5.. In Aug I started teaching then left 3 months to O-levels, piangz, tt 1 really can die. Also donno how the students/parents will find me.. Hopefully don't kana sack after first lesson lorz. -_-'''

Also don't know how my student will fare for his O-level. I think within one month or so shld be releasing O-level result arz.. Just hope he can get at least B3 or what for Maths arz.. Then his Science.. Hope he can get B4 arz..

I love Kinokuniya

Wah Piangz, I spent $150 today in Kinokuniya. And finally I applied for the membership card. $20 for a year, okay lar, I think next time once awhile I'll go Kino to buy books, so with the card can save quite abit of money arz.

Then just now at Kino, there was this farking idiotic man at the service counter. As I couldn't find the book that I wanted, so I went to the Japanese books info counter to ask the assistant to help me find arz.. As you all know, Kino at Orchard is so demn big, I gave up searching after looking for 1 hr. So there was this man I think he's in his 20+, CONFIRM is Singaporean, NOT Japanese lar, from the way he talk. Anyway, he was holding onto this **dirty** "Japanese yellow Magazine".. Then the magazine was wrapped up already lar, so obviously u cannot browse, and CLEARLY there was a label at the front of the magazine that states "CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN" or smth like tt. So that man was asking the counter lady, "Can you help me tear open? I want to browse" So the counter lady like explained to him politely due to the content of the magazine, she cannot just tear open and then after that just put back at the shelve arz.

Then the man was such an ass. He was like demanding "But I am not a CHILD watz. If I never see, how I know whether the magazine is suitable for me?"

-_-'''

WAH PIANGZ!? IF YOU CANNOT BROWSE, THEN DON'T BUY LAR. Gosh, and I really pity the counter lady trying to explain to him until can vomit blood. There's like so many people buying books in Kino, not that got one less customer like him will die lar. And if he wants, GO BUY FHM lar. Or go buy illegal blue tape lar. Kns, for one stupid magazine want to make a big hoo-haa.

All right, so the KANZEN MASTER JLPT3 book that I juz bought, I can study it during all my COS duties next week.

Wah Piangz, I'm doing duties this coming Sunday, next Tues, next Thurs and next Sat. 4 alternate days of duties. Really sianz 1/2. Maybe I shld bring my "Minna No Nihongo" to camp to keep myself occupied.

January Schedule

This week is just so busy, and next week my duties are fantastic: Doing COS on 080108(Tues), 100108(Thurs) and 120108(Sat). Alternate days arz, but then I also didn't really feel anything. It's like aiyaz, LAST MONTH of COS duty liaoz, do alot I also don't care arz.

And the plus point:

In view of the fact that ATEC is next week, and so there will be off-in-lieu from 140108 to 180108 (OMG, one whole bardy week). And to add on, I've yet to include all my OFFs and LEAVEs to cover me from 210108 till perhaps I ORD, other then the fact I still have ONE LASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST duty on 220108. So okay lar, whole of this month got 4 days of duties, on account of the many days of rest that I'll be getting.

I'm quite a happy man now.

And now is "Happily studying Minna No Nihongo".

Japanese FM 96.3 (7am to 9am - weekdays only)

Just now I wake up early just to try to listen to FM 96.3 from 8am to 9am. OMG lar, when I listen to it, majiam reminds me of the horror of LISTENING COMPRE during JLPT4. Demn terrible, cuz I don't know is they talk too fast or I simply cannot catch. I think is the latter arz.. Although some words here n there sound quite familiar, but still, I couldn't understand much. Owellz, but maybe next time when I'm free I will try to force myslf to switch on the radio n listen, and hopefully over the time can slowly pick up the pace. But of course it will take some time.

End of 2007 marks the start of 2008

45 minutes to 2008! Okay lar, although now Japan already New Year liaoz, cuz they one hour ahead of Singapore time. -_-'''

Very irritating arz? Always talk abt Japan.

So maybe like most ppl, I should just list down a few resolutions that I have for yr 2008. Hmm... Let me think:

1) ORD IN PEACE! (This 1 very impt lorz)
2) Quit smoking before I ORD, aka before CNY (VERY IMPORTANT lar, cuz I estimated I have spent abt 1K just on cigarettes this yr? And I know it's bad Bad BAD for health lar... -_-''')
2) Can proceed on to get ready and do well for JLPT3 in Dec 2008. (Okay lar, I also don't know can pass JLPT4 anotz. I think even if fail, I also can't be bothered n shall just work harder for JLPT3. Lolx.)
3) Pass my driving test on 1st or 2nd attempt. LOLX.
4) Earn abit of money before Uni starts. (This 1 very impt lorz, cuz I simply waste too much money liaoz)
5) Learn to be thrifty (Very impt also, cuz I don't have a habit of saving and tt's BAD lar)
6) Start Uni afresh, get to know more friends. (Fuckers can just get lost.)
7) I shall do well in Accountancy. No matter what, I shall MUG MUG MUG very hard to do well. For my future perhaps to be able to apply scholarship for post-grad studies in Japan.

Okay lar, disgress abit. Although now u all may think like I haven't even start Bachelor's degree, want to think of MBA, like so far-fetched. But wellz, I guess among ALL the possible solutions that I can think of (together with Mengyang, Dennis, JingWen and Xueli, thanks arz guys for giving me valuable opinions), I think the BEST + cost efficient + save time solution is really this:

Study 3 yrs in NTU get an Accountancy degree, at the mean time I will force myself to absorb as much Japanese Language as possible in this period of time. Build up my foundation in Japanese in Singapore first, so go over there won't suffer that much. So firstly, I save time cuz Japan Uni is 4 yrs arz. Then also save money because (i) Study Japanese in Singapore is MUCH cheaper and (ii) At least when I go over to Japan don't have to start from scratch, so can save alot of money in terms of attending shorter duration of Japanese Language lessons in Japan as compared if I were to go now. (With a pathetic JLPT4 standard? -_-''')
Likewise, according to JingWen and Xueli, can apply wat overseas exchange programme go Japan study one sem or watz, like quite fun horz. And also, I think every yr got those career fairs n stuff in NTU then I can try finding potential employers from MNCs such as Big4 abt overseas posting or I think some company can also sponser the employee to study Masters in Japan if ur deg is good or performace is good? Like so good horz? Owellz, so bottomline is:

1) STUDY WELL FOR ACCOUNTANCY!
2) STUDY WELL FOR JAPANESE LANGUAGE!

Although perhaps it will be quite hard to juggle between Uni studies and Japanese (as they r 2 totally diff stuff), but I guess is really all about proper time management and willing to put in the extra effort. When people get to play, I will make use of the time to study Japanese. So saying this, I guess I won't be staying in hall or joining any CCA bahz. Afterall, staying in hall also must take part in hall activities. Join CCA also must give commitment to attend weekly. So mentioning that, I shld perhaps make use of the time for hall/CCA activities to study Japanese instead.

Alamak, I like talk too much liaoz. Owellz, just hope that 2008 is a good year to start with! Although it may not be easy when Uni starts, but with a clear goal, I shall press on no matter what I may face. For my future, I shall work hard! Hope all those around me will have a smoot-sailing year too!

Tomorrow is 正月, shōgatsu! Japanese New yr! But.. Not that I got celebrate like tt. -_-'''

Learning to make choices

No doubt, I'm the most useless person. What can I do other then to piss those ppl who r considered close to me. To break the hearts of those who care for me. When I'm at my lowest point, they are the ones who stood by me. And when things are fine, I seem to have amnesia and become a dog who turns around to bite its own owner. What a beast, isn't it?

I'm such a stubborn person. I don't care how I get the stuff I want, undertable means, overtable means, underhand or overhand methods, I shall get what I want. But what do I achieve at the end of the day? I just become some cold-blooded monster who doesn't know what "gratitude" means. Sometimes as I think ahead, I can't imagine what kind of person I will turn into when I go to work next time. Somebody u wish u will never bump into perhaps? I don't know. And I don't know if some sacrfices are really worth in order to pursue what u want?

To pursue your dream, is it worth sacrificing my family, my relatives, my friends, and whoever that I know>? And at the end of the day, what if I realise that perhaps some things are just NOT worth giving up... But you realised that it's too late. And what happens next is you will be filled with regret and be trapped in that vicious cycle? You are just a farking miserable person who doesn't have anybody to share your joy or sadness with. You regret that WHY did you have to pay such a HUGE price in order to fulfill that FUCKING dream of yours. Everybody has their own dreams. But at the end of the day, why must you create such a big havoc until it seems as if your dream is some "BIG SCALED" dream. If you are farking capable, then you wouldn't need to rely on others to fulfill ur dream. But the fact is, I'M NOT.

So what if I make it big in Japan? So what if I can graduate with a good degree in Japan? So what if I can get a high-paying job in Japan? So what if I can have all the materialistic wants I can ever think of? Will I feel satisfied? I will just feel so miserable. When you see others can share their joy with their family, I can't. When others still can return to a place they called "Home", I can't. When others are able to go through thick and thin with their family, I can't. For all the satisfaction that you get from attaining your dream, you shall pay a price of losing something called "Kinship" which you cannot buy even if you are a farking millionair.

So at the end of the day, everybody has to make choices. Every choice perhaps comes with sacrifices. So the problem is, is the choice you make WORTHS more than the sacrifices you make? If not, did you make the wrong choice?

I think I have made my choice.

Next week 3 working days. Next next week ATEC stage2, waste of time. Then after that.. Donno do wat also. Sianz... Although is 40 days, it still seems VERY LONG away. One more month of duty... And it's sayounara... Haiz. Realised alot of ppl in camp also like bochap attitude. Everyone just thinks of faster ATEC finish then fark off. But I still no ORD mood lar. Piangz. Okay lar, I think when ATEC finishes in 2 weeks time I shld be "bochap" also. Hopes the battalion don't come up with any stunts or wat again. If not really SIANZ 1/2.

I'm tired. Life sucks.

So yesterday's was Emperor Akihito's Birthday. Owellz, "Banzai!"

I really feel I have lived my 20 years in vain, achieving nothing. What a blardy waste of time.

So I went to the Japan Embassy today to find out more about looking for schools offering EJU, aka "Japanese A-levels". Then it's like from what I know, the GCE A-level Cert which I took in Singapore is REDUNDANT lar. Fuck man. Wah laoz, I abit buey song y I wasted 2 yrs studying in JC lar. If only I can be MORE rebellious when I'm 17 after my O-levels, then maybe I can straight away go there to study. Like what the embassy person say, they also don't care whether u get AAA or EEE for ur GCE A-levels. After all, u r gonna take the EJU which matters ultimately. HAIZ. And yaz, I spend another 2 years serving this wonderful country. Thanks arz SAF. And so in total I just feel that I have spend 4 years of my LIFE in VAIN lar.

Because for me, I think age is very important leh. I mean like wah laoz, u wanna graduate at the age of 27, whereby other ppl maybe grad at the age of 22 or 23? Fuck sia, REALLY waste of time. I just feel that I'm no different from some ITE student who go to polytechnic then after that go to uni to realise they r gonna grad at the age of wat 26 or 27? O gosh, what a BLARDY waste of time man. Really lorz. Just now, the more I think of it, the more I felt pissed off lar. I just felt life is not fair lar. I mean true lar, life is NEVER fair.

Haiz. I donno why I just feel ANGRY to be in this small island called S*******. Really lorz. Sumtimes I really wish I can just leave this place and never come back at all. I really don't mind giving up my everything so that I can start from scratch in Japan.

And then my father insist that I shld at least complete my degree in Singapore so if I "CMI" in Japan, then I at least got a degree to fall on. Haiz, but then if my heart is not even here, I also won't do well. Because while I was chatting with consultant from the embassy, she also told me that perhaps I shld study in Singapore first, since studying for degrees like Engineering or Science in Japan and Singapore are abt the same. UNLESS u r gonna study Business or Econs then the content of ur degree will be abit different in the 2 countries. And when I heard that I was like "Hmm..Yaz, actually I'm thinking of doing a Biz/Econs degree." and the consultant was like -_-''' . And so my father just feel that even if I can scrape thru this EJU, he feels that I will drop-out from Uni in yr1 or yr2. It's so depressing to hear such things from my father. Am I really so stupid?

If my Dys1 can get AAAB for A-levels then also can grad from Osaka University with a Electrical Engin degree, I really don't see y I cannot make it there as well lar. Yaz, true, I admit I'm not smart. My Dys1 from RJC, I from lousy JC. He is PSC scholar, I am nothing. Ppl read 2 times can understand, I need to read 10 times. But wellz, does it matter whether u smart anotz>? If that's the case, I will put in EXTRA work lar. Ppl study 5 hrs then I study 10 hrs. I think I will really do that if I cannot catch up with the lessons if I'm in Japan.

There are 120 million ppl in Japan. IF THEY CAN SURVIVE in Japan, why can't NG WEI YANG do it? Don't tell me that Japan cannot even accomodate ONE extra person? Don't tell me that my intelligence or EQ n stuff is LOWER than that 120 million ppl in Japan? I'm confident I can find a way for survival in Japan. Even if let's say **touch wood** like my father say I really Uni halfway drop-out, don't tell me that that's the end for me? I'm sure that is a way to survive, is just how resourceful u r and how determined u r.

I'm really tired of living my life to one's bidding. Serving my 2 youthful years with NO MEANING, NO PURPOSE. And to be frank, I really feel VERY sad that I have to use my parents' money if I wan to go Japan to study. Yes, I know it's exp. The sch fees alone already headache. Then consider accomodation I know is not a small sum. But I REALLY REALLY got no choice but to use my parent's money. I wish my parents will charge me 50% interest rate at least make me feel better. And I also don't know when will I be able to return them this large sum of money. By the time I start work I'm perhaps in my late 20s liaoz. Haiz. I really feel very guilty that my parents have to fork out money. I think I will strive to do well for EJU then hopefully I can try to find potential Japanese companies that can sponser me money, like "financial grant" like tt then I won't mind serving bond for them for a few yrs.

Owellz, nvm. I managed to hold of some brochurs and guide pamphlets regrading studying in Japan. I think it's time I start looking for potential Japanese school offering EJU course. And the next application period is from Feb 2008 to Apr 2008, in order to start sch in Oct 2008. Owellz, got the whole of January to dig out info from the THOUSANDs of Schools offering the Japanese courses in the whole of Japan.

Which city will I end up in, I also don't know.

I need advice

Haiz. I really don't wish to study in NTU or NUS or SMU. What's the point of studying in Singapore when everything that I study will be Singapore-based. What's the use of studying in Singapore if perhaps a S'pore Uni Degree may not be "as good" as compared to a Japanese Uni Degree in Japan(I mean in terms of finding a job). And best is why shld I serve f***ing 2 years when I don't intend to work here.

Nvm, I will find a way out. I don't believe that I CANNOT get into a Uni that I want. Even if let's say I have to work for 2 years full-time to earn money to pay for my Uni fees next time, I think I will. Even if I have to loan money from foreigh bank for my sch fees, I think I will. Even if I have to start school at the age of 23 or 24, I think I will. And even if I have to go for a one year Intensive Language Course prior to studying at Uni, I think I will.

Perhaps I should really consult the Japanese Embassy this coming Friday. And then I have to start going to different Univerisity websites to check for admission. Check the tuition fees will cost how much. Check cost of accomodation. Enquire for whether got loans or stuff anotz. Check for the different kind of Visa application. Luckily they have this "Studying in Japan consulting session" at the Embassy every Friday.

Haiz. Some of my camp friends were shocked that I like make such a "mad" thinking. But then it's like for those who know me since sec sch, should know that I really LOVE Japan alot larz. Even if I can't study in Japan, at the end of it I think I will still go to work in Japan lorz. Either way I also won't stay in Singapore. My parents also abit "pissed" with my decision when I propose to them abt my plan. Not really pissed lar, but they just say that I very "unrealistic" and stuff. Haiz, it's so demn sad to hear these from my parents lar. Haiz, but at the end of it, my father say if I can come out with a "detailed proposal" and show him, then I can carry-on from there and discuss. And now that I'm gonna ORD soon, I think it's really time I start planning and stuff like that.

Actually as I was telling my parents, even if I were to study in SIngapore Uni, I will confirm also enrol into Japanese course, and then I will also CONFIRM put my Japanese Language Course before my Uni work. EVen if I get wat C or D grades for my all my modules, I THINK I WILL still choose to put more time on Japanese Language. And of cuz I think my parents nearly vomitted blood talking to me. Like my parents said, they SERIOUSLY think that I "reincarnated" into the wrong country. I think so too.

But my parents really warn me that if I were to go Japan, then they won't expect me return till I have some accomplishment. Haiz, of cuz arz, I man can't possible that I spent so much of my parents' money and then after 1 or 2 yrs drop-out. Wah laoz, like that I will be no difference from thrash man. So I swear if I really CAN get the oppotunity to study in Japan, I will REALLY cherish 100% of my time to study. Even if I have to study 15 hours a day to understand, I think I will. Even if I have to give up all my entertainment and free time to do well, I will. Even if I have to start learning EVERYTHING from scratch in Japanese, I will. Even if I have to retake perhaps my "A-levels" standard pre-u entrance test in Japanese, ranging from learning knowing to do differentiation & integration to doing calculating mole concept to writing an essay on photosynthesis to calculating voltage and current and ALL in Japanese, I think I will be willing to put in the hard work, IF I am given the chance.

And of course, my parents told me if I were to make this decision, I will have to learn to solve ALL problems myself. No family, no relatives, no friends to seek help. Having to use Japanese in my everyday lifestyle, from going to supermarket to buy stuff to interacting with neighbours to watching TV shows/listening to radio programmes, ALL in Japanese. Of course, it really needs a high level of tolerance in order to maintain the "sainity" when all things fail. What happens if suddenly I face BIG financial problems, then kana chased out by the landlord. Then maybe I to sleep in the streets of Tokyo? And I have to do housework ALL myself. No more "mother-cum-maid" to cook for me, to wash my clothes, to clean the house, as my mother said. Of course, my parents have to LET me know the harsh reality of going Japan to study.

And at the end of the day, I have to admit that my life studying in Japan will not be a bed of rose. But wellz, if I have choose to take this route, then there will be NO turning-back. To be frank, I have been quite stressed just having to find out info and do planning and stuff. And of cuz money is a BIG issue. It's not as if S'pore govt will sponser me to Japan to study. And my GREATESR nightmare is what if I cannot even enter Japan Uni based on my horrendous A-levels result or sekali I study one or 2 yrs then I really cnt understand Japanese then kana kicked out due to my "not-that-bright" brain. Ogosh, that will so terrible lar.

HAIZ. And I also donno whether I can make it to GOOD uni like University of Tokyo or Osaka Univerisity or Kyoto Unversity. Sekali I kana some donno wat "kns" uni then also NO POINT lorz. If not sekali at the end of the day my parents die die don wan let me study in Japan I also die. Haiz. Can anyone advise me? I really need someone to talk to. Haiz.

PSP Games

So my TV has finally arrived. WAHAHAZ. Okay lar, I will use it often to watch DVD movies or to play my PS2. If not I buy the TV majiam to collect dust then it will be such a waste. Now I simply love my room lar. Got my own TV and radio and comp and everything that I need is all there.

And last night I juz d.l finish 2 PSP games: Silent Hill- Origins and FF 7 Crisis Core. Then for those who got PSP know that the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED game now is the Crisis Core Game arz. The graphics are juz so awesome lorz, and summore is juz released I think 1 month ago in Nov 07. But the sad thing is, IT'S ALL IN JAPANESE lar. Then I was thinking... HAIZ, MY JAPANESE so kns, confirm won't understand 1. So don't bother playing. Might as well wait till 2008 then release the English Version then I play. Or maybe I think wait till I'm at JLPT2 level then maybe I can start playing Japanese games.... THEN LIKE THAT I DON'T HAVE TO ALWAYS WAIT LIKE AGES FOR THE ENGLISH VERSION TO COME OUT FOR THOSE SO DEMN COOL JAPANESE-PRODUCED GAMES LIKE CRISIS CORE. Okay, I got one new reason why I should study Japanese.

Then I turned into SIlent Hill. For those who got watch the movie, u know it's like I donno wat kind of movie lar. (Actually I don understand the movie lorz) Abt wat a gal being burnt n stuff like that, then pop out 1 town call "Silent Hill" and then as u walk around this misty town, got monsters suddenly come attack u. Aiyaz, the plot very messy arz. Anyway, in this game u r supposed to walk around "Silent Hill" town and then u take weapon to attack monsters. (But is best that u juz run away because the monsters can respawn 1 lorz, demn it) Then the most retarded part is the whole game setting is obviously in a super dark environment until u can't really see anything. Then if u on ur flashlight, u will attract all the monsters to attack u. SO U R EXPECTED TO OFF YOUR TORCHLIGHT AND TO NAVIGATE AROUND IN ALMOST COMPLETE DARKNESS throughout this whole game. OMG lar. It's quite hard to play arz. Nvm, maybe I will play it when I'm REALLY REALLY free.

Now must d.l a few games in PSP so that when on the plane to Japan can entertain myself, if not I think I'll be bored to death.

So today's a half day off. And tomorrow another half day off. So should be staying at home to rot. Or I think I should be trying to tidy up my Japanese books cuz I didn't bother touching them at all after JLPT.

So a few days ago received the letter from NTU ask want study earlier anotz. Of course NO lar. Wah piangz, not as if I will be able to graduate earlier or what. And most importantly, I think I will still be working part-time to earn money. U know money is so demn important especially for somebody who has JUST FINISHED 2 yrs of NS. So I predict I should be slogging my ass off for the 6 months prior to start of sch in Aug.

And it's 4 days to Japan! Arz! So looking forward to it. And yes, I think I must make use of these 7 days to listen to JAPANESE then can "improve" my Japanese abit. But seriously lar, I think I 99% also catch no ball 1, so also no use. 62 days to ORD. Omg, that's pretty near already.

JLPT....

The whole JLPT process was kinda screwed up.

I arrived like 45 minutes earlier, and to my greatest horror, there were like already a BIG crowd trying to squeeze their way into the school. Arz.. Fine. Then I need to check my classroom and stuff on the notice board, and apparantly like about 1800 ppl registered for the same level of JLPT as me. Owellz, then I decided enough is enough and so I juz decided to be one of those first few ppl to enter the classroom while most others were busy mugging.

OMG lar. I was seated at the FIRST row, in the CENTRE. That means is DIRECTLY in front of the teacher's table with that stupid radio in front of me which is used for listening. Wah kaoz, y so suay sia.. And the best thing is, the tables they used were like SO SMALL lorz, (U know those tt u see in kindergarden 1??) Like those kind lar. Wah laoz, can u imagine all the adult-size ppl trying to cramp into that MINI chair and MINI table? So uncomfortable. Luckily the papers not many hours those kind. Then got one boy seated next to me, I was peeping at his entry proof, and OMG, he's born in 1995, that means like 8 yrs younger than me sia. I feel so old lorz. But then I think maybe abt 30% of the ppl there are roughly same age or younger than me. And majority are like older than me arz.

Anyway, PAPER 1 was like... Hmm.... WAHAHAZ, okay lar, I think is manageable. I juz felt so happy after the paper1. Then after tt a toilet break followed by paper2, LISTENING COMPRE.
Wah laoz, that one arz. Can you imagine like got 17 questions, I think I only got like 2 question that I *THINK* I get correct, the REST of the 15 ques were like !#$%^&*. The fact is, throughout the whole listening compre, I really tried my VERY best to listen to to the conversation n stuff, BUT 95% I SERIOUSLY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. And hence, I come into conclusion if I can get like 40% CORRECT for Listening Compre, I think my paper 1 and paper 3 can get FULL MARKS liaoz. -_-''' Anyway, to really pass JLPT is see how u score in paper 1 and 3. Oyaz, then I did the BEST thing I could ever do. I actually shade ALL my remaning 15 questions, the answer is '3'. Cuz is MCQ mahz, got option 1, 2, 3 or 4. Then my OTAS sheet is like ONE straight column of shaded '3'. Aiyaz, I know I really CMI but wellz, nvm lar, sekali all the answers are '3' then I can get some bonus marks. Lolx.

And the end of paper2 makes me plunge into a state of disappointment, But then arz, I THINK 90% OF THE PEOPLE THERE ALSO SCREW UP THEIR PAPER 2 arz. Cuz I overheard like EVERYONE else there discussing, say wat they everything also cannot hear properly, then everything also anyhow tikam and stuff like tt. Lolx, Nvm arz, at least it's normal. Lolx.

And paper 3 was... hmm... I think manangeable as well... But wellz, donno got careless mistakes here and there alotz. Basically the compre passages I juz anyhow whack. I see the options got "repeated" in the passage that means confirm the answer. Don't understand also juz whack. Alamak. Abit jialat arz.. But then don't care lar.

Owellz, I shall wait 3 months later and see how BADLY I fare then. Up to then... Hmm.. Should be carrying on with my Japanese lesson.

FInal Burst for にほんごのうりょくしけん

HAIZ HAIZ HAIZ!!!

I seriously don't know if I can pass my JLPT tomorrow lar. Okay lar, paper 1 is quite easy. Paper 2 and 3 will be @#$%^&*. Wah laoz, like tt how to pass? 60% to pass leh. And summore I got hearing problem, I think paper 2 the listening compre is donate marks to them 1 lar. Then the Grammar for paper 3 is like.. I can NEVER get the particles correct. Gosh, sum1 teach me how to pass leh....

Look like tomorrow I must rely on my all-time powerful "ti-kam ti-kam" technique which seems to be failing most of the time.

As yesterday was an OFF day, I went to the SITEX fair at Expo hall 5 and 6. Wah kaoz, there's so many ppl although I went there at around 1130am on a Friday morning. Anyway, as I mentioned in my previous posts..I wanna buy a TV despite abit of "disapproval" from my parents. Anyway, there's so many cool TVs on display lar. Got Sony bravia, TOSHIBA, Samsung, LG, Pioneer, and many many other brands.

And I was just SO TEMPTED to buy lar.....

And of course....

I COULDN'T RESIST THE TEMPTATION LORZ!

-_-'''

So I ended up buying a 32 inch HD LCD TV...!!! Okay, pls don't ask me which TV or how much it cost. Cause I think I also don wan to say. EVen my parents I never tell them.. I only told them "I bought a TV and it will be coming next Sat..." And THAT's ALL. Cuz I think most probably they will slaughter me (even though I only use my own money) for being such a SPEND THRIFT.

Okay lar, maybe next Sat when my TV arrives and then let my parents nag and slaughter me until nobody's business then I shall let post which TV I buy. My mother was like so DESPERATE to know which TV model I bought, but I just told them wait till next Sat and they shall see for themselves, and I think that really like make them feel so @#$%^&*. Okay arz, I think my parents have more or less COME INTO TERMS I really bought a TV, but then wellz.. I really donno wat's gonna happen when next Sat comes...

And yes, after I made my payment for my 32 inch TV, I was thinking like tt my room for no TV powerpoint then jialat, cnt watch normal TV channels...

And then TA-DA.

I bought a HD DVB-MPEG-4 AVC Set-top box! And that cost me another few hundred bucks. O gosh. And then at abt 130pm I left EXPO and went to the Ikea store at tamp there. Okay, bought a TV Bench for $43. Okay arz, reasonable, and then must take taxi back home. Took me like one hour to screw and set up the TV bench.

And now I'm juz excited abt my TV tt's coming next Sat!
