Sometimes I really wonder whether that piece of paper you worked so hard for, is worthed it. Many people out there with good qualifications end up with some 9-5 job and earned a so-so salary for the rest of their lives. Then they are some people who are just diploma graduates but managed to be really successful in their careers. After working for some time, I somehow concluded this:


With a good qualification, it increases the chance of you getting a decent job and earning a decent salary. However, it doesn't ensure that the holder will climb the corporate ladder and earn big bucks. So a degree holder may just be stuck as an executive in his company, earning the same pay for the rest of his life.


To make it big in the corporate world, personality, showmanship and intelligence are the key factors. Be able to charm your clients with your showmanship, impress your bosses with your personality and beat down the rest of your competitors with your intelligence.


So people who are only booksmart, it's easier for them to find a decent job. For people who are streetwise, it's easier for them to charm their clients and bosses. For people who have both, they have a chance to be at the top.


Hence, I'm sure that most individuals possess at least one of the traits to make it in life. If you don't, it's time you seriously do something.

I thought it was the right thing to do, engaging in common activities. I tried different ones, hoping that at least one of it will interest me but to no avail. Out of desperateness, I decided to choose the one that I enjoy the most; however, it was obviously not enough.


Keeping silent, hoping that as time goes by, it’ll interest me more. I was waiting for school to start so that I’ll have the time to focus on them and move them to my place. Constant interaction, I thought, should breed fondness.


Things seldom ever went as plan with me, as proven time and time again. Maybe it’s another coincidence or maybe I just seriously sucked at it.


I know it may not seem like I did much, I agree, I could have done more. But without the passion, it was tough. Telling myself that I need to be involved, making decisions all the time, all these were taking a toll on me. It was obviously my fault, I started it, thinking that it’ll all work out, but it didn’t. So I held back, waiting for the day when my work finally ends and I have more time to join in the activity. But like I said, things just don’t go as planned.


All I had hoped for was to bond and to please. Saying that I didn’t care and talking to me was like talking to an idiot was really hurtful. I know I may not be an expert at it, but I’m trying. Putting me down when I was trying was just simply hurtful. It made me wonder why I even attempted to do all these in the beginning.


All my efforts went unnoticed and unappreciated. I tell myself again and again that I should just move on, to stop being so anal about it. It was obviously my fault, my fault for wanting to please. But I can’t seem to get over it, because it hurts.

There was only 2 people - receptionist and a part-timer - in the office when i walked in this morning. Everyone else were probably still, well, in bed. They are not entirely to blame with all that partying last night. I'm not kidding. They are NOT to blame for partying last night because we didn't have a choice.

2 of my colleagues were leaving the company to re-enter the 'study force' and their team decided to hold a farewell party for them at Boss's Sentosa property. Whoo~ Sentosa residential property~ 0_0 I decided to be a kaypoh and check out how the premium, ultra-expensive Sentosa houses look like, hence I decided to join in the fun. Mind you, I was invited by Boss.

It may not be stated in any documents while purchasing any Sentosa property, but I'll let you in on a secret, a car is a pre-requisite to buy a residential property there. Travelling to Sentosa residences is a chore. There is absolutely no public transport and it feels like I'm on a quest to the west for some sutra.

Numerous humongous bungalows with sickening-ly fantastic view of the South China Sea lined both of our sides while we were trying to get to Boss's place. It made me feel like a piece of crap~ They were so beautiful, not just in appearance, but the price tag as well. -_- I doubt I'll be able to own anything like that, even if I do, I doubt I'll bear to stay in it, probably just use it as an investment.

I didn't managed to get any nice pictures (because my camera is quite cui) as it was late at night so most pictures came out pretty dark.

I know i shouldnt be blogging right now. It's like 1.30am and I have an exam tomorrow, but what the heck. I always have the urge to blog but never really did because I'm either busy or nowhere near any computer. So by the time I'm free to blog, I lost all my inspiration. Like now.

I wanted to blog so badly just now because I had things to rant about but I told myself to switch on my computer only after I'm done with my notes. See.. now I totally lost it. So I'm just going to write whatever that comes to mind. Hence, I predict that this post is not going to make much sense. Brace yourself for nonsense.

People usually find me calm and composed and good-natured, hardly throwing much temper. I admit I'm pretty easy-going, I dont ask for much and I'm pretty fine with anything. But I do get upset too, more often than I want to actually, I just dont show it. I just let others do as they wish because I dont want to make a scene. Dont get me wrong, I'm not afraid of pissing other people off. I just dont like arguments and try my best to avoid it. Less arguments = less trouble for me.

Sometimes I wonder if that's healthy. Should I behave like other girls and go on whining and complaining about everything that upset them? Maybe it is healthier to get things off your chest but I just cant seem to do that. I tend to keep things to myself, maybe I dont trust people easily or maybe I think my problems are silly and they'll go away after some time or maybe I dont see a point in telling people about it.

I have a problem. My anger is really short-lived. The average time span of my anger is 1 hour. It has never last passed 2 days. It's so easy to make me forgive and forget. It's a serious problem. I have to stop being such a nice person.

Sheena complained that I'm an ice queen. I'm so unemotional and cold, that I dont understand people's feelings. I do. I understand why people feel sad and happy and everything because I feel that way too. It's just that sometimes their reasons for feeling so dont make sense to me. I think it's probably due to my nature, I tend to take things easy and thus, seldom get upset over minor things. Or maybe I didnt try hard enough to place myself in their shoes. I have no idea. I do want to understand how others feel ('cause I realise that the majority of people are emotional and I'm the minority so I really need to do something about it), but it's really tough sometimes.

I try to be patient and understanding, lending them a listening ear. But most of them hate to hear my advice or opinions. Like what sheena and yiling said, they'll look for me when they need me to shake them out of their delusions. Because I tell them the painful truth, the truth that they already know but refuse to admit. I'm afraid that I'm not one of those friends who join them in complaining about how the world mistreat them and we should join hands to fight against the world.

I have a 2 hrs break and I got absolutely nothing to do now, therefore I shall blog!

I recently took up Kapap classes to occupy my Sunday afternoons and to help whip off chikopeks from the streets of Singapore. So far, I have yet to finish off any chikopeks but I got bruises and swellings from my instructors instead. Sigh. Not as I have expected huh.

But IT'S OK! I may be all bashed up right now but I'm sure in time to come I'll be feared by all those dirty bastards. There are just too many of these people in Singapore. I understand that men do have their needs and it's totally biological. That's cool. Wives and girlfriends are there to satisfy your needs (if they're willing to, that is...), but single men have other alternatives. That's what geylang and orchard towers are for isn't it? So why are there some men out there who target innocent ladies, especially children (THOSE DIRTY BASTARDS!!)?!

I've been reading up more and more rape and molest cases in the news. And the saddest thing is, some of these victims are children of the rapists. I just don't understand, don't these men love their own children? How can they do such a thing to ruin their children's lives forever?!

News of doctors sexually assualting their young patients, taking pictures of these teenage boys and threatening them. Fathers molesting and raping their daughters while the innocent little girls are sleeping. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?! The kids trust them and yet they ruin the trust like that. How can these kids be able to learn to trust others anymore?

Can someone please tell me what these men are thinking? How can they actually be able to commit such acts? I really want to know. Something has got to be done to ensure that things like that don't happen in Singapore again.

It's not just kids. There are stupid girls out there too. Allowing their boyfriends to take nude photos of them. One word: STUPID. Now they're at the beak and call of their boyfriends because the guys have something to threaten them with. But none is to blame for this other than the girls. They asked for it. BIMBOS. But their boyfriends are BASTARDS too.

I'm sorry for this disturbing post. I was just reading the news before blogging so I'm feeling damn worked up now over THAT STUPID 62 YEAR OLD CHIKOPEK WHO RAPED HIS OWN 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!

Sorry. Peace out.

We needed to take a break. We needed to go a place where we don't understand the language and the food. We needed to go to a place where NS and ERP makes no sense. We needed to go somewhere where the mention of roti prata and hainanese chicken rice will be responded with puzzled looks. We needed to get out of Singapore.

But we were 2 poor people who had only S$200 each to spend. So we went to Batam. The place where food is cheap, transport is cheap, hotel is cheap... I can't think of anything that is expensive there.


We were so poor, we took a 45 minute ferry ride overseas, instead of Boeing 777.


We had food you can't find in Singapore.
I totally miss drinking A&W's root beer float. Coke float is nonsense compared to this.


Lunch was a mix of western and indo food.

Cheap Seafood!! Chilli Crab!! Black Pepper Crab!! Sambal Lala!! YA!!!!!!!!!!!!


My ideal kind of breakfast. Lotsa bread with honey. Yum Yum.



Yes. The monster in me was released upon looking at the banana pizza. It's DAMN good!


Pick your own food!!


0_0 とても大きい蟹!!



The extent of nua-ness: jumping and rolling on the clean bed at the mere sight of it though one is incredibly dirty and salty from all that seawater.


Massage lady. At least she didn't make weird noises while doing her job. Unlike someone else. Sigh.
Incredible Finding in Batam:

LOOK AT THIS!!!



ONE WORD: CHIO.....!!


I want!!! This is the new MINI Coupe concept debuting at Frankfurt Motor Show 2009. It is much lower in height than the current MINIs with much rounder angles. So it looks so much more sleek but still has the classic vintage feel.


It's pretty powerful too! With 1.6litre, 208hp, 206-lb-ft four cylinder gasoline engine. Multilink rear suspension, electro-hydraulic sterring system etc. Not bad..




However... ... it's only going to be produced and sold in the US in 2012. OH NO!! So when is it coming to Singapore?! It's going to be priced at US$36,000. Let's hope by then I have enough money to buy it. Maybe by some miracle or something. You never know. =)
