It was a moment of enlightenment, that no matter how well you seem to focus on getting things done, slips still occur once in a while - and when that happens - it is hard to avoid complications.<br /><br />Never felt that it was anything beyond my league, nor did I feel it had something to do with me, but just knew I had to take some action, and do something. Feeling queasy, even a bit disappointed by efficacy of people, but still, life is always full of hiccups anyway.<br /><br />Writing in circles is not fun at all, but I believe in being lyrical.

And the worst thing is, it's not SBJ I failed, but shuttle run.<br /><br />GOD! I do not believe I have heard of anyone failing only Shuttle Run. And I am so doomed, I got only a few more days to pass this before my window closes. Definitely reserving Saturday to clear it, but need another session before this to try in case I cannot do it on Saturday! Hoping I can leave earlier from work on Tuesday to attempt IPPT at Safra Jurong.<br /><br />I actually lost 100 bucks cos of this! Damn... And I ran four times, all at 10.8 seconds, and the passing is 10.7... It's super annoying. Why why why? I must so pass it this time round, or I would have to do RT for like 3 times a week. God! RT? I have never done RT since NS. When has my fitness deteriorated so much? <br /><br />It must be the food that I have been walloping down my gutter. I have been eating like a famished pig banished to the countryside, away from its pen. Dammit! I better stop before I reminisce and relive the life of fattibombomness that I used to lead back then.<br /><br />Somebody, put a stop to my binging! :(<br /><br />Let's pray I pass my shuttle run this time at the partial IPPT retest. I so need to clear it man! *fingers crossed*--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-39235828304359583062009-11-10T23:30:00.001+08:002009-11-10T23:31:02.415+08:00It's pretty scaryThe extent of mistrust and political play in any place chills me.

Somehow, this strategic move didn't prove to be that detrimental after all - at least I get two huge tables to myself, with all of my stuffs strewn across like a buffet spread. Lovely, somehow I feel that there is no need to pack and file anymore.<br /><br />My life has been bland since the last update: the usual things, the usual hanging out, the usual friends, the usual suspect. Then again, it's rare for me to not be usual. I am pretty much a conformist except when it comes to Interactive Digital Media which we are trying so much to promote. New media they call it, same old brand new media I call it. Just the same old traditional pressroom magnified onto a digital screen, for what they call instant feedback (but yet somehow regulated by moral obligations and a duty for self censorship).<br /><br />I think there's something about an educator who put up scandalous links on his FB account and stupidly broadcast them to all his students, which in the first place, should not be on his FB account. What is this? Public Broadcast Service? Hahaha! Sometimes I get too cynical about the work I do (I just made fun a second time about my job scope, for discerning readers). Anyway, back to the teacher. And so he got a warning, and resigned and decided not to be involved in teaching anymore. OK, it was technically his fault, but I thought the only fault was his indiscretion of not seperating work from his personal life. Two thumbs down! Other than that, he is entitled to cyber-lust and he didn't need to apply Cyber Wellness rules to himself. (Ok, that's a third time, this blog post is SO NOT going out)<br /><br />Teacher aside, what's that about Ris Low taking english lessons at NUS under the sponsorship of NLB? That's a huge boo-boo. Apparently NLB has disassociated all links with her, and enlightened the public on how it's just wishful thinking on her own part to be Singapore's Next Top (English) Role Model. Somehow, that girl needs to drill it into her brain that too much exposure isn't that good, or I'm afraid she will go down the roads of self-ruins and never see the light of day again. And yes, the KNNBCCB on The Shan and Ross show is still a huge faux pas. God Save me!<br /><br />I just heard a damn "duh" joke on her today:<br /><br />Q: Where does Ris Low stay?<br />A: Pasir Ris Lo!<br /><br />Ok that was damn random and abrupt. But she got people talking about her in their random smoke breaks and lunch hours. She has effectively reduced work productivity because people BITCH about her in GROUPS during their FREQUENT slacking breaks.<br /><br />Alright, back to hugging my Green Starhub pillow and looking at my Lotus Notes.--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-27906374664816652362009-10-25T05:32:00.004+08:002009-10-25T05:33:47.819+08:00Bali PicsFinally had time to create collages of the highlights in Bali: One for the random pictures, and one for the food. :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SuNyh-uziUI/AAAAAAAAAPI/qESrRrGYwxs/s1600-h/balitwo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SuNyh-uziUI/AAAAAAAAAPI/qESrRrGYwxs/s400/balitwo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396282706620549442" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SuNynt7U6cI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/_paabBW6VFU/s1600-h/balione.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SuNynt7U6cI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/_paabBW6VFU/s400/balione.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396282805188880834" /></a>--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-33667736036126451702009-10-25T04:54:00.002+08:002009-10-25T05:17:12.242+08:00Aircon No Need Money, But I Need!Seriously, somebody should do something about the air-conditioning in KBOX @ Safra Jurong. It's so strong that even though we are armed with super-thick jackets, we all ended leaving the place with a leaky nose.<br /><br />It's leaking now as I type, even after a warm shower, a hot coffee and two tabs of Panadol Flu Extra. :( God, did we just pay a hundred bucks and spent a beautiful saturday night to make ourselves sick? This is so uncalled for. <br /><br />Anyway, the K session was typical, and we ended up singing the same old songs again - The Jay Chou, Stefanie Sun, Gary Tsao, Jolin Tsai medleys. Of course, there was no avoiding ending off with silly songs from Spice Girls and Lady Gaga. <br /><br />To be very honest, it was my first look at the Paparazzi Music Vid and I thought it was awesome. A little bimbotic, but packed with lovely glitter and vivid colours which are amazingly pleasing to my visual palate.<br /><br />Oh well, at least it was a fun and relaxing session with B & S, and somehow, I was too bored the entire day to mind.<br /><br />Speaking of which, my austerity drive has been pretty successful so far. Managed to keep within a 50 for this week's activities. One more week to go before my pay check comes in - not incredulously fat, but sustainable. Not to mention I have tonnes of bills to pay off. My debtors are fortunately, either friends, telcos or CC companies, and I don't reckon I will have splashed paint and choppers over me soon! :)<br /><br />Speaking of choppers, I was watching the Jamie Oliver show on Discovery Channel today, and he was trying to start a campaign to get people to cook in an over-industrialized "fast-food" town. Though it was over-dramatized in certain areas, I thought the concept was cool. The "Pass-it-on" where he taught a batch of people to cook and in turn, they taught another batch and passed it on in a viral effect. That's how cool! I wish someone start something like that in Singapore, maybe get Martin Yan or something, even though he can cook but can't really speak well. :p<br /><br />I wish to start something big - sort of a revolution. But who am I to say, when I can't even get a proper job yet? This is starting to get a little disheartening, and things at work seems to be going downhill by the day in my current temp job. Not cast in stone, but my intuition says I won't last. <br /><br />And the last thing I want is for people to assume that I just can't work. Because I have been having a bad spate of luck since I graduated, and most of it, frankly, it is not my fault. But ahh, not going to go into that again. I will just keep trying and trying until I find the perfect job then. But to be frank, I will sure miss alot of the colleagues should I not be confirmed. :(--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-32036162631162183312009-10-22T23:40:00.002+08:002009-10-22T23:43:51.678+08:00WHOEVER said CHINKEE is a funny name?

Realized I'm getting a bit lazy when it comes to blogging. Not good. Especially when I want to be a professional blogger, LOL! :p<br /><br />Anyway, the new clip on the Featured Clip section is so boomz and shingz. You cannot miss this! As much as I think Ris Low is a pain in the arse, I am really very amazed at her strength and how she can self deprecate herself to this extent to prevent herself from being attacked further. So Boomz!<br /><br />And I have to talk about this uncle who left gym in a long sleeved striped shirt and FBT shorts! If that is not bad enough, he was wearing a pair of dirty grey crocs and carrying a Tote bag that looked almost as bad as my mummie's recyclable Cold Storage Environmental Friendly Reusable bag. God! Boy was he confident and sashaying his way out into the food court! Aiyoh. Sibeh Jialat ah! Shingz Shingz Shingz.<br /><br />Another major Shingz is the uncle who seems like a foreign worker who pee-d into the flower bed that the MP personally grew to beautify our Nanyang Town Estate! (Ok he didn't really grow those shrubs, but the grassroot leaders endorsed the movement). But in any case, super Shingz!! How can like that? So bad lar. Slap slap! <br /><br />I have so many more boomz and shingz to share, but it just slipped my mind somehow. And I'm tired. So I'm stopping here. :)--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-18063791373509391822009-10-03T13:25:00.003+08:002009-10-03T13:33:15.027+08:00Moonie FestIt's the time of the year again, where we all feast on delectable moonies and grow really round!<br /><br />For me, Mid Autumn Festival is always a time of loads of fun and reunion. <br /><br />I remember the days when I was a kid, and my sisters and I would be gathering at the void deck with our paper lanterns and boxes of colourful candles. We would start arranging the candles in shapes, emulating what we see in NDP just a month or so ago. It was always fun to see who has the nicest formations.<br /><br />After a while, mom and dad will bring some mooncakes to us and some chinese tea. Homemade mooncakes at that. Then we will eat, and continue to spend the rest of the night away. At the end of it all, the candle session will end up into our made believe BBQ session where we will burn leaves and create a helluva mess. But it was always fun.<br /><br />Then a few years later, we all grew up. And we stopped playing lanterns and candles. We stopped hanging out together even. We had our own obligations, and my sisters always had friends to hang out with during public holidays and weekends. <br /><br />There was a year where I played candles all by myself. And it was no fun.<br /><br />I stopped eventually when I reached adolescence. I started to think this was all crap and it was not fun at all. I hated everything in life. I was a rebel. I even hated myself and just cooped myself up in my room.<br /><br />It never did change. Up till when I was in Uni, I was still very much alienated from my family. I felt they didn't understand me, and that they were just all about themselves. We never had family reunions, and I avoided them if there were any - quoting reasons from fatigue to examinations.<br /><br />Recently, the idea of family sprung back into the back of all our heads again. These few years, we always have gatherings which we all casted all our things aside for. We are once again one big happy family.<br /><br />This year, we would be having a family dinner again.--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-3801059099876275282009-09-30T22:52:00.003+08:002009-09-30T23:01:27.011+08:00Life & Death - A Matter of FactI recall seeing a news report on television just two days back. It was on some disaster that struck the Philippines, leaving many homeless and in turmoil. For those who are unaware, I sometimes shed a tear or two when I see such telecasts, maybe I'm emotional, but I choose to call myself humane. OR compassionate for that matter.<br /><br />There was this woman on TV, who looked calm and "media-prepped". She was speaking coherently, with no signs of anguish, fear, sadness or any sort of emotion on her face. In fact, she was just like any other interviewee for a street interview asking about TV ratings, or whether they like a product. <br /><br />But her case was drastically different from those surveyed on the streets. She is one of the survivors of one of the worst storms Philippines have seen in recent years. I remember what she said very clearly, even though it was subtitled from her original Tagalog speech.<br /><br />"I was walking back when I realised my sister was crying. My elder son has just died in the storm, and she was trying to rescue my second child who was buried in the mud."<br /><br />She said that, in one whole coherent passage, almost like she was reciting some speech or key message. It was heart wrenching, because somehow I felt that she was calm because she is numb, and not because she didn't care.<br /><br />My friend suggested that she has more or less seen through ups and downs of life, and the loss of a child is yet another "unfortunate" event only, and life still goes on. I felt totally crushed. Imagine if I were to lose a child, not that I may could and would have any, I would totally feel that life is not worth living on, and be derailed, and not speaking like it's a matter of fact.<br /><br />I sincerely pray for the wellbeing of all who suffered losses in one way or another in the recent spate of disasters in Asia. Maybe God is trying to tell us something?<br /><br />Peace out. God Bless!--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-24854244494369834892009-09-24T00:29:00.002+08:002009-09-24T00:41:18.754+08:00QuickieI have been neglecting this space for too long. Was about to switch off the lights and head to bed but felt immensely guilty, and so decided to log on to see see look look, TCSSPMJ, which incidentally happens to be one of <a href="http://takeko.blogspot.com">Takeko</a> aka. Alexis' fave phrases. Anyway... I got alot to say, but the heart is willing but the flesh weary, I am rather exhausted from the kopi sessions (actually it is teh) with <a href="http://stilafaux.livejournal.com">Mich</a> and <a href="http://benjalim.blogspot.com">Ben</a>. <br /><br />Quick updates: Life at a certain board in Singapore has been good. Love the colleagues, they have been really helpful and nice. I suddenly felt that I somehow missed the good times at Rice Comms, where I chat with Suz all day long while doing work. Also miss Grace and Grace Junior and all the other nice folks who worked through days and nights with me. I like colleagues who are warm, responsive and friendly. That is rather much more acceptable than to be trapped in an ice cove and having to hold your breath and suffer in silence (good for those who know :)<br /><br />I wish such days can last, but nonetheless, should I not be granted a permanent position, I know I have to move on. But for now, temp seems great - at least I can take my time to monitor the situation, choose my preferred portfolio and understand the sector more. Patience, Darling, Patience.<br /><br />Had nice dinner at Holland Village with Mich watching me gobble down my fried rice and chicken cutlet. Am so going back for more. It's so worth it and yummylicious. Thanks baby for passing me your lovely egg-yolkless cookies, they were worth every calorie and drop of perspiration in the sweatfactory. Loves it. Can't wait for the next batch, which I have to fight with the Fatness Ultimate Pinoy for the butter cookies :P<br /><br />And just hung out with Ben till late, as per normal. Nothing special. <br /><br />And Mich told me about the Starhub prepaid card which gives 50 free global SMS'es daily just by sending 5 of those at 15 cents each. It's like damn aunty can?! But it's probably going to save me quite a lot in the long run, I think. Just when I was contemplating whether to jump on board this ridiculously cheapo offer, my phone started acting up, and messages to Malaysia (which kinda explains my 500 dollar bill thus far) were rejected and failed to deliver! <br /><br />Must be the call of someone up there! <br /><br />Remember, STARHUB ah. Don't anyhow buy! :)--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-1291435842781875922009-09-18T12:14:00.003+08:002009-09-18T12:25:18.758+08:00Prawning AgainAnd so this is the first time I went prawning with Stanley. Heard he got the first catch, haha. Was a little tipsy when I reached Lakeside Fishing Village, from some drinks I had with the girls at DY. And I just randomly threw the rod and even though the float didn't submerge, I had a "I see Dead People" moment and twitched it.<br /><br />Woooooohooooooo... I got a prawn, and a "tagged" one no less.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SrMJvGeAWSI/AAAAAAAAAOo/pwhiQAW4oak/s1600-h/IMG_5868.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SrMJvGeAWSI/AAAAAAAAAOo/pwhiQAW4oak/s400/IMG_5868.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382656684432840994" /></a><br /><br />A tagged prawn ler! How cool is that? Oh by the way, that stupid tag allows you to spin the "Wheel of Fortune" to see how much you can win in cash rebates. Prizes range from $1 to $20. Stupid Ben snatched the opportunity to spin, and guess what?<br /><br />He freaking spun $1! So angry! I nearly strangled him and left him dead to feed the prawns in the pool!

We seem to be on a roll till the end where I just can't get any prawn and Ben went on a hat trick. Super cool. Harvested say, 14 prawns?

Sounds like a fantastic deal)<br /><br />Oh well, you know, you can always ask me for advertising space, since nobody would buy any from me, I would give it out FREE, unlike Ms. Snowfall who sells her pixels for like hundreds of dollars and claim that it's cheap. I would do an advertorial and pose for you too, ABSOLUTELY free.

But had so much to eat over this whole weekend. Would have loved to grab some shots of the delicious crabs we had on Friday night, but my hands were too creamed to take out my camera. Truth be told, I didn't bring a camera that day anyway, lol.<br /><br />Time spent with the raccoon was short but lovely as usual. Raccoon's so cute cos he doesn't understand why I call him a raccoon, nor does he know what a raccoon is! :p Put up a picture of a raccoon for him specially on Facebook! Sure he can tell the resemblance pretty soon. Haha! Anyway, I love Google Image search, you can literally find anything you want.

Work work work!--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-43879219564465715382009-08-29T16:04:00.002+08:002009-08-29T16:15:56.117+08:00Of Complaining & Managing ExpectationsWell, everyone complains, and I believe it is fair for all to complain when things go wrong, and they are bottled up to the neck with difficulties and obstacles to surmount. And I complain too, way too much as some of my friends told me though.<br /><br />Well, I am not going to justify my complaints, nor am I going to say I am sorry for complaining. But I do realize that after complaining, I get my things done, and I find solutions and answers, so I don't do an empty complaint.<br /><br />I am ok with people complaining to me, but I am not alright with people saying I complain too much when I do not complain to them at all. Do not take your preconceived judgments and lay it all upon me. I may be younger once and more whine-ish, but I do know where I've moved on and become more professional in my conduct and behavior. And so, I loathe and I cannot condone people throwing their accusations upon me and measuring me by a yardstick that was established long ago, because people do change, and I do not appreciate crap.<br /><br />That being said, I am not going to stop complaining, because if I reach a point where I cannot complain to my real friends, it's when I am totally satisfied with my life, and that is when I close my eyes, and look upon my life as a floating spirit, cursing the world with my last breath. Period.<br /><br />Case closed upon the complaints. Another topic that dwelled upon me from yesterday's meet-up with a bunch of friends was the issue of committing to a relationship that seems to kill of a person's social life.<br /><br />I believe and endorse relationships of any kind, because relationships help people to grow, to be more sensitive, to understand more about people you care about, and to make certain sacrifices or changes. I do not believe that just because someone has changed in his way of life and become more held back and settled, he is unhappy. True, that certain someone has more whining about the relationship and feel very pressured, but there is no hint that a change in environment indicates that he is upset and the relationship would not last. <br /><br />I firmly stand by myself, that a relationship will allow yu to have a crystal clear appraisal of yourself everyday, as you grow closer and bond in unity. Be it friends, family or lovers, the process does not differ much, and it is relatively similar. Love others, love yourself; be happy and troubled. Because like I say, if you divert your energies to other forms of life, you will eventually find that there is so much to bitch about this far from perfect world.<br /><br />So I urge everyone who reads this, complain, love and bitch like you never had before it's too late.--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-46281702030941410172009-08-26T00:36:00.002+08:002009-08-26T00:42:41.371+08:00I'm missing you, bloggie...Realized that I have left this space empty for quite some time. Hmmm, somehow this entry line seems replicated from <a href="http://takeko.blogspot.com"> Alexis</a>. Hahahaha! But it truly is the case!<br /><br />Life at work has been alright, and slowly but surely, I have been learning new things and tasked with new things to do. I like to work, and I like to do well at work. To quote Susie, we are all workaholics inside, and working hard makes her semi happy (it makes me too!).<br /><br />Oh well, nothing's much exciting in my life, and I go about my usual routines, maybe cept the fact that I am indeed putting on some weight (the mirror and hips dun lie). Sigh! Maybe it's because of work, I have a voracious appetite, but at least I try not to eat out of my three meals a day. Let's just say stopping the Atkins Diet always make make me fatter! :(<br /><br />I actually feel tired to blog. Am I losing it? Oh dear, maybe it's technology transfer - I realized that I have been on Facebook too much! I am so sorry lil bloggie, I am still here. And I will not give you up again, like I did three years back. :(--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-87390660664002361512009-08-14T00:59:00.002+08:002009-08-14T01:06:08.822+08:00Fairmont and Singapore 2010 YOGThird day as a YOG Coordinator at Fairmont hotel. As the team is new, there are plenty of opportunities to leverage on, and that sort of keeps me worked to the bone as well. Work has been sufficiently challenging, and I guess sorting out all the remnants and organizing them into a cohesive flow and system is of paramount importance to me right now. After all, I chose to go into this current job for the exciting portfolio. So I shouldn't be complaining, should I?<br /><br />The Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic One Year Countdown officially begins tomorrow! There would be a big show at the Padang with fun-filled activities. From carnival stores, sporting events, unveiling of countdown clock from Omega, unmasking of certain elements of the two YOG mascots to getting everyone hyped up, this sure is hell of an event.<br /><br />As a tier one sponsor, Fairmont Singapore will be leading almost 100 of their valued colleagues to form a contingency of hospitality. This big "parade" of sorts seeks to empower employees to proud and enthusiastic ambassadors of the games. Watch out!--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-27908870157235559882009-08-10T13:29:00.002+08:002009-08-10T13:39:39.537+08:00On Work and Singapore IdolSo the holiday has finally come to an end, and it's time to start my new phase in life. To be frank, this would be my real actual job since the previous stint at Rice was more of an internship than a full-time appointment. <br /><br />Woah, it's been one month since I had the 9- 6 ++++++++++++ lifestyle and being in an office for the most part of my day. Something to look forward to? Definitely. There is, however, a weird tinge of fear in me that things might be erupting at godspeed when I'm in the job, and that I cannot meet up to the huge wedge of responsibility slapped onto my shoulders. After all, I am going to work in a world class hotel chain, on a world class event, with only one direct boss and no other colleagues. Quite intimidating for a freshie like me. Of course I will endeavour to do my best, but I just can't help feeling... a little scared. Human nature, at its peak.<br /><br />And the ringing in my ear persists. I am so paranoid that it would affect my work. All I wish now is that it becomes better before I report for work tomorrow, or I would be in serious trouble since it has affected part of my hearing and has induced me to start mumbling because every voice I project seems to be refracted within my ear drums and it makes me feel like I'm shouting when I'm actually like Mr. Careless Whisper in Singapore Idol.<br /><br />Speaking of which, I thought Singapore Idol was pretty entertaining, even though I realized that certain elements might have been planted to spice up the whole clip. To be frank, I thought Avril Lavinge was totally a scam, and she must have been paid loads to be featured in such a light. Lady Gaga was superb, in fact, I thought she deserved a chance. She wasn't half as bad as some high pitched screechy gay dudes whom the trio let through... Hell Gate Warrior was so lame I can't help but think he's paid too... And the horrid snippets from the audition at the back... makes me think of how they sabotaged me during Star Idol many years back to make a fool of me. It was totally taken out of context. But oh well, such is Television and such is life. If you dare to show up, be prepared to make a mockery out of yourself if you do not have what it takes. Hahaha.<br /><br />The weekend was boring. I hope the new week brings with it some new excitement in life. And also, bring back all my friends who have mysteriously disappeared into different parts of Asia. :) Safely.--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-65090047112238069862009-08-04T13:26:00.002+08:002009-08-04T13:29:58.199+08:00OverkillI know many insist on dressing to kill, and feel that there is no qualms for overkill on the dress up when heading for an interview, but miscommunications leading to me wearing a suit to a psychometric test isn't pretty, I hope I wasn't the laughing stock of the company!<br /><br />But oh well, I am seriously hoping this would be the last round of the interviews. Just received a notice that I have successfully met their requirements for the test (which happenes to be a million dollar investment by HQ to identify the suitability and capability of the candidate). I felt it was just like another Facebook Quiz though...

Curious, I clicked on the profile to find out who that helluva headless guy is, and possibly try to find out why his head was chomped off.<br /><br />His introduction intrigued me: Apparently he is from this VIP Male Escort Company. I thought, com'on, many of my friends put these tags for the heck of it, or really, some of them fantasize they are attractive enough to be male gigolos but they so do not qualify, but as I read through the comments and replies, I was totally convinced.<br /><br />His messages were on the lines of "Hi Baby, you are sexy too. When are you going to invite me over for a one night stand?"<br /><br />Seriously, I was flabbergasted! Social media marketing reaches its peak with Facebook man! Sleazy masseurs aside, this is the most outrageous call for clients I have seen on Facebook thus far. And apparently, he isn't concerned whether his clients are male or female! This leaves me with one big question... Why did he choose to add me?<br /><br />OMG, do I look like I will pay for sex god dammit! :(<br /><br />*To protect the persons involved, I shall not be posting notes or pictures of the above marketeer. But would it harm anyone if I post a Chippendale picture? :p<br /><br />J-en, Alexis and Ki, for you. :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SnLQnunHbwI/AAAAAAAAAMI/jTET5jE5LlI/s1600-h/chipp03.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 399px; height: 294px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SnLQnunHbwI/AAAAAAAAAMI/jTET5jE5LlI/s400/chipp03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364579487097253634" /></a><br /><br />And for the rest of you...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SnLQn-ZF1iI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/ULSxUDtiVqQ/s1600-h/chipp041.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 262px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SnLQn-ZF1iI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/ULSxUDtiVqQ/s400/chipp041.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364579491333396002" /></a>--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-27375280895210950822009-07-30T15:53:00.002+08:002009-07-30T15:57:22.984+08:00The eyes are the soul of the heartOld saying. Truly magnificent.<br /><br />Been on Od of eye drops for this past one month and still seeing black jellyfish and half the screen with fuzzy words daily. The feeling is horrendous.<br /><br />I sometimes find myself waking up to a blur picturesque of wobbly images. On better days, I see things clearer but after 5 minutes it dries out and all that is left are fuzziness again. It's pretty tiring to keep trying to focus on things instead of being able to see without stressing the eyes.<br /><br />What a gift eyesight is to man, now I behold. For people who have bad contact lens habits, or likes to abuse their eyes, take a lesson or two from my plight. Now I just wish to see properly again.<br /><br />With my glasses on.--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933460.post-53773335121764267782009-07-29T23:41:00.004+08:002009-07-29T23:56:02.780+08:00Ben and Dillon Goes To JB<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SnBwF53E6yI/AAAAAAAAAMA/KG64FRylAXI/s1600-h/jb_collage.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AtvcDY184S0/SnBwF53E6yI/AAAAAAAAAMA/KG64FRylAXI/s400/jb_collage.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363910402931747618" /></a><br /><br /><br />Like the title suggested, we went to JB! it was a nice sunny lovely day and we were smoking and sipping our super cheap J-Co coffee with the complimentary donuts and marveling at what a good deal we got when the serviette caught my eye. I took it up to realize that I have to write a message to my CB. And I so wanted to ask my CB to be with me forever. When I scribbled my genuine heartfelt feelings on that wretched piece of tissue, a huge gust of wind emerged from nowhere. A J Co bulb burst and soon, all I hear was CB calling out to me. When I turned, I saw a huge UMBRELLA (mind you, those beach ones that shade like 10 people) darting towards me. I was absolutely flabbergasted, but was rooted to my seat.<br /><br />Fortunately, the stupid mother of a brolly flew past me, crashed my chair, tripped my expensive branded bag and flew towards the next table, smashing cups and ash trays. All these happened in like 5 seconds. Wrath of God indeed. <br /><br />CB, We are just not meant to be!!! :(<br /><br />Other than that final destination experience, all was good. We ate nice Chee Cheong Fun by the stall beside City Square and had plasticy wanton noodles. I was amazed how that whale of a CB gulped every thing down.<br /><br />Then was Red Box time! Buffet dinner with catering styled food (filling but not delicious) and four hours of KTV at only around 16 bucks per person! What a steal. Hehehe... We sang so many stupid songs like Lady Gaga's Poker Face and Carpenters and Kelly Clarkson. Oh my God fun!!!<br /><br />And it was time to go. We had to go. And the lovely "叶子楣“ buns were out of stock! Saddddd...--Freelancejokerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670756526216853885noreply@blogger.com0
