22nd of April

Haven't really been posting the regular posts because nothing much happened these few days, since Sunday I have been resting at home since I didn't have to work till Wednesday. I woke up at around 9+, and I panicked a little because I kept thinking I had to go to work until I checked the day then I heaved a sigh of relief. Had breakfast, some luncheon meat and a fried egg with some bread and a cup of some hot drink, went to watch the 2 new episodes of Global We Got Married before calling Sam and Jin Kai to ask where they were. Yesterday night, Sam gave me a call while I was gaming and he asked if I wanted to join Sum and crashed this lesson and I quickly agreed. So on the way to school, Sum called me and told me that he was in this classroom which I used to take this practical lesson for Power Electronics and Drives, and he told me that there were some pretty interesting people that I will see when I enter the classroom.

Reached there anyway, gave Sam and Jin Kai a call as they weren't they are the meeting point. Sam was still in the train while Jin Kai was buying a drink some where else. Soon Jin Kai arrived and we started laughing because we wanted to see the lecturer's reaction when he saw the both of us (the lecturer is the lecturer that me and Sam always tried to imitate and laugh after failing to imitate). So when we entered, the lecturer saw us and the first thing he said to us was 'Welcome Back :D (there was obviously some sarcasm ._.)' I turned away because I was about to burst out into laughter (:P), after 5 minutes, Sam arrived and joined us. He couldn't sit because there were not enough seats for everyone. Later we all started chatting and sharing about our current happenings. They shared about their trip to Thailand (Sum's hometown), while I shared about my work and also stuffs that happened from the Grad party till now. During the hands on part of the lesson, the lecturer came over and talked to us, and the reaction he gave when he found out that we have graduated was epic. We continued to chat with him and then we left after that.

Met up with James and we all went to FC2 to have some late lunch (I was starving by then ._.). Bought some chicken chop with an extra fried egg, then all of us chatted while sharing some funny and disturbing information, but mostly about their recent trip to Thailand. Went home after that, mum steamed some 'kueh' and prepared a cup of hot milo for me (I love you mum). Went online on maple, Axel was looking for some party quest, he partied me so I just accepted. Did one round of party quest and finished it in a relatively fast time, got the marble reward then I closed the game because I didn't feel like playing Maple anymore. Switched to left 4 dead, stopped because I was about I rage at the stupid bots that didn't know how to save.

Went to lie ont bed to cool myself down because I felt that I was getting to stressed from gaming. Slept for abit, continued watching some Global We Got Married while eating dinner. Started the late night gaming session but I stopped early because I wanted to create a new blog post, another reason was that I had no mood to play because I had to sleep early due to work tomorrow.

So it's 12:30 am right now and I have to get some sleep, if not tomorrow will be a terrible day for me. Nights!

17th of April

Had a bit more sleep as compared to yesterday night, woke up feeling a little better as compared to yesterday. Stomach was feeling a little better so I ate one piece of bread with some jam and a cup of hot water because I didn't dare to drink anything that has milk. Laid on my bed and started listening to some music while thinking about stuffs relating to NS, feeling a little sian so I just continued lying on my bed. Soon it was time to leave for work, bathe and got out of the house. Stomach was feeling funky so I didn't want to run a lot, I managed to catch the 166 bus but I didn't board the bus because it was a single deck bus (I wanted to board a double decker bus ._.), bus number 33 came so I just boarded it without thinking. In the bus I wanted to sleep for a little because I was feeling tired. My arms were aching before I left the house so I was like a bit sian to go out to work. Listened to the same song on my phone over and over again, because I felt that the song was cool and the more I listened to it, the more I liked it and the more I had to listen to it.

Reached the workplace at around 9:50 am, saw the attachment student and another part time colleague. Chatted with them a bit before another Elizabeth arrived, she used the finger print tapping system (something that I never knew was used in the company until she used it). Jun kept playing his phone while I just sat on the stool nearby and stoned for awhile. Later the other attachment student came and she signed in, then all of us chatted for awhile. The shop opened soon and we dispersed to our respectful duties, as usual to assist the attachment student in her front counter duties. I had to close some cases, then the lady boss and boss arrived at the company. As I needed to speak to them, I quickly entered and discussed some matters regarding NS. I chatted with the attachment student while doing work, I shared with her the long story about me being able to remember the most ridiculous and silly stuffs in poly. From year 1 to year 2 and a bit of year 3 :D Axel messaged me on Facebook as he told me he went to find me at my workplace, but apparently I was inside discussing something with my colleagues. Later, another friend of mine was walking around in Funan then he saw me at the counter, so he just entered the shop and chatted with me for a little bit. Later when I went out with lunch with one of the attachment students, then she forgot to take her phone so she went back up to take from the counter. Then as we were going down for the second time, the same friend was on the same floor so he just joined us for lunch. Had Subway for lunch (something that I haven't had for a long time), I chatted with my friend about NS and also about his crush (yup). After lunch my friend left and we went back up, she was feeling sleepy as her eyes were partly closing while she was walking up.

For the last few hours we just served and helped customers with the collection of their laptops. After the shop shutters were down, the manager in charge treated everyone to pizza. The place became more lively with the smell of good food, chatting and laughter. We then took pictures and exchanged numbers, and it was time to go, so we said goodbye to the interns and to the boss. Then I left for home, did a few pull ups at the playground's fitness area before heading up quickly as it was slightly raining. At home, I ate mum's home cooked fish soup while chatting with Eugene and Axel on skype before going to bathe. Re-downloaded maple since Eugene wanted me to play back with him, Axel joined and soon all of us were playing.

Right now it's 12:30 am and I have to stop this post for today because I have to wake up early for work!

16th of April

Woke up early as I had to report early for the first day of work. I didn't sleep well the night before so I woke up feeling more sleepy, switched on my com and ate one slice of bread. I turned down any drinking of hot drinks because my stomach was feeling funky since yesterday night until now. Went to take a warm shower to wake myself up (:\), got changed and quickly left the house since I needed at least an hour to reach the workplace. During the bus ride, the first part I was feeling okay, then I suddenly felt like throwing up, I started feeling anxious so I was a little restless. Luckily I was listening to some music on my phone so I felt a little better I guess?

Reached the workplace and I saw a few familiar faces and I waited inside the seating area. Feeling a little awkward so I just used my phone and surfed twitter and Facebook while waiting. The person in charge called me in, the boss was still away on medical leave. He asked me what did I know and what I didn't know, then he just told me to refresh my memory by going back to the front counter. So I just sat there and started serving customers while chatting with my colleague, then we went for lunch, 2 other guys joined us. Stomach was feeling funky so I ate fish soup, managed to eat most of it. Then I followed the other colleague out since he wanted to smoke a cigarette. We chatted about working on Labour Day since it's a public holiday so we were wondering if there was double pay or something like that. Went back since the one hour break was up, then I continued to chat with my colleague about myself and also about school. Then I shared with her you know who (wink wink), and like my other friend, she was also quite interested in my story (I guess that was what made time pass so quickly)

Soon after it was time to knock off from work, I left for home after saying goodbye to my colleagues. Managed to catch the 147 bus that just came to the bus stop, sat it and fell asleep because I was really tired after a day at work. Reached home while chatting with my buddy on my phone, then as I entered my room, this letter caught my eye. I was praying hard that the letter isn't what it is, which turns out to be, it's my army enlistment letter. As I slowly ripped it open, I realised how many precious days I have left as a civilian. So I have been feeling like crap ever since I opened the letter until now.

I guess I will get some sleep soon because I'm really feeling terrible and sleepy right now.

15th of April

Gosh I woke up so late once more today. I woke up at 8:30 am due to some unknown reason, mum then came into my room to talk to me about lunch and stuff, then she went out for some exercise. After my mum left the house I was trying to keep myself awake but I fell asleep once more and I woke up at lunch time just like the other day. Woke up anyway and washed up. Switched on my com and listened to some music while surfing Facebook and YouTube. Soon, Mum came home from exercise and started cooking some lunch for me, porridge with century egg and some japanese tofu. Ate them down while watching some ghost adventures, the episode when Zac ventured into the catacombs in Paris was quite interesting and pretty much mysterious because they found a cata-phile, joint with another local paranormal investigator, the 3 of them sneaked down into the catacombs and tried to communicate with the dead. Pretty interesting, and I look forward to the next episode :P

Logged in to cabal and settled some money stuff, chatted with a few people then went for the 1 pm nation war. So during the war, this arrogant prick killed me and taunted me by laughing at my dead body non stop until I respawned. Was quite pissed for a few minutes because the fact that he's really powerful and I can't do anything about it. Oh well, I farmed whatever points I could, scored 3rd place in war, got my reward and I screwed off from that place. After closing the game, I went to help my mum change some bed sheets (mum actually asked for my help earlier but I was busy with the nation war in cabal ._.) I was actually thinking of going to star vista to buy some Subway to eat (:P), but mum just told me eat some canned food sausages (it was an okay replacement I guess? :D). Opened a new can, ate the sausages with some bread. Then I drank some milo for teabreak (:D), surfed the net for another hour. 

Some crazy thought came across my mind, which was to try out expert campaigns on left 4 dead 2. Without thinking, I started the first campaign and to my surprise, I managed to complete the campaign with zero restarts (ain't I awesome? :P Opps, ego again ._.). Feeling confident, I decided to try out the 2nd campaign, restarted 5 times at stage 4 because I kept dying but I found out a new meta, and I tried and succeeded :) 3rd campaign, I raged the most because the first 3 stages were okay, no restarts and few incaps. However at the finale, I restarted at least 13 times because raging and going to youtube to find the solution to surviving the finale. 4th campaign was pretty tough but I managed to succeed after 3 restarts in the middle. Soon it was dinner and I suggested to mum to go out but since mum was feeling full and it was about to rain, I decided to go to Star Vista to buy back some dinner for mum. Started pouring when I was in the bus, ten I headed to buy some Texas Chicken (:D), and some wanton noodles for mum, headed home in the drizzle after that. 

Enjoyed the fried chicken feast at home and watched some more ghost adventures. After eating, I played some more left 4 dead before Axel called me to join him for some left 4 dead expert campaigns, since I left one more campaign to get the achievement, I agreed. We started out shaky, restarted around 5 times in the middle, then came to te finale. The first round we didn't get past the first tank, the next I tried to avoid the tank (I succeeded but Axel and the bots didn't). The third round, axel got disabled right at the start so I just suicided and skipped to the 4th round. We managed to get past the first tank and we were about to succeed but we got killed before we could make it to the chopper. The 5th round, the tank incapacitated the 2 bots so me and Axel charged forward, ignoring the tank. I blasted my way through with the auto shot gun equipped with laser sights (new meta 101 :D), used adrenaline on myself and charged for the helicopter. Axel got caught up halfway so I had no choice but to abandon him and rush for the chopper (if I went back to save him I would be surrounded by the hoard and will be killed too). I finally got the 'Still Something To Prove' achievement after an afternoon of raging and concentration. 

So yeah, work starts tomorrow and that I guess I have to get some sleep now.  I don't want any trouble waking up or travelling there tomorrow! :P it's 1:30 am so I guess I will stop here and get some sleep now! :D

14th of April

Slept around 3 am the previous night, so I kind of expected myself to wake up at around 12 noon or something. Instead I woke up at 10:30 am since the morning heat was gathering in my room and the fan was switched off. I lazed in bed and I officially woke up at around 11 am (it was still very warm then D:). Went to surf YouTube on my phone since I'm still lazy to get out of bed, watched one third of an episode of Invincible Youth. I watched it since it had guests like INFINITE's L, Shinhwa's Andy and a few other famous actors. My house internet connection decided to freak out later on so I managed to only watch only one third of an episode.

Didn't eat much breakfast, I only ate 2 pieces of cookies during from the grad night which was given by you know who (wink wink :D). Mum came home with lunch, a box of mixed rice consisting of bean sprouts, another kind of vegetable (I forgot the name) and a few pieces of sweet and soured pork. Managed to eat finish everything even though my stomach was feeling funky ever since I woke up, while eating I tried out yesterday's difficult campaign on left 4 dead 2 once more. I managed to complete it faster than yesterday, using only 1 hour and 6 minutes, as compared to yesterday which I took 2 hours and 2 minutes. Died once because I made a serious mistake, but I'm pretty sure I will learn from it. After that I went to play cabal, participated in the 1 pm nation war and I swear to god the Storm Bringer from Procyon can't utilize his bringer's resist abilities against us. I'm a wizard, in other words have lower natural base defense as compared to other classes, and yet he can't kill me. All I needed to do was to simply silence him, use some healing spells and a spirit shield to block out some damage, and then I can run without any worries. Even my ally which only has equipment that are considered a little above average, is able to damage him till the Storm Bringer left less than 1% of hit points. In any case, I broke my personal best record in which I died only once, as compared to the others which I died at least an average of 10 times per war. Chatted with some friends in game while settling some monetary issues and deals, then I went for the 4 pm nation war. I was feeling a little sleepy so I pretty much expected my performance to be affected a little, until I saw my rival enter the battlefield alongside with me. I didn't want to lose to her to I quickly snapped out of the sleepiness and gave my all (opps, ego leaking out again ._.). I ended up 6th or 7th place (I can't exactly remember which place was it, but I was sure I was near the 6th or 7th place), 9 kills, 5 deaths and 1 million price reward for winning the war.

5:25 pm, the sky was darkening, but I wanted to go out for a run so I quickly got changed and headed downstairs after mum gave me a small slice of cooked pork meat. 6 reps of mixed pull ups, then I quickly headed for a 1.6 km run before the sky started to pour heavily. I got to say, running when the sky is overcast and the winds are blowing strongly is quite a good feeling because the feeling when the wind is blowing on your face and limbs is really great. Even though my timing wasn't good, I plan to run again tomorrow since I still have one more day before I start work.

Update: *it's 6:30 pm now and I'm having my dinner right now. I might be having a gaming session later at night so I will continue the post after that :P*

13th of April

So today I had to wake up early because Axel is planning to come over for a visit, tossed and turned in my bed while watching a childhood cartoon on my phone (don't ask what the title is). Washed up and ate 2 pieces of bread while blasting some music in the morning. Mum and dad came home with breakfast and I ate it since I was still hungry, I then played a bit of left 4 dead 2 since I still haven't finished one of the 5 campaigns that I downloaded a few days before. Took me 2 long hours just to complete the campaign (with some short breaks and rages in between D:), the campaign was super long and I even lost my way in between because the campaign setting is in a catacombs like level, so you can easily lose your way trying to find the way out. After a few restarts and a death (*insert rage face here*), I completed that level and I obviously wasn't very satisfied with the results but I forgave myself since it's the very first time I'm trying out that campaign.

Axel texted me that he was on the way to my house while I was playing the campaign's finale halfway through. So after completing the campaign, I rushed downstairs and went to meet him, we then went to buy some roasted chicken rice for lunch since we both haven't eaten. After buying lunch, I bought some bread for my mum and then a bottled drink for myself. Reached back home and ate lunch, while eating I showed Axel some interesting gaming videos and some other Korean variety show videos. After lunch, he set up his gaming equipment and his computer too, while I listened to some music while waiting. He started playing this movie that I watched for barely 15 minutes last time (it's the movie Disney's Frozen), so I got kind of interested so I just stopped whatever that I was doing and I started watching the movie with him. The movie lasted for around 2 hours, and after the movie, we decided to play a bit of left 4 dead 2 together since he still hasn't gotten some achievements that I achieved already. I helped him to get 2 achievements, namely the 'Bridge Burner' and the 'Violence In Silence' achievements. Soon it as near dinner time and he had to leave for home, so I sent him to the bus stop.

Ate dinner and then did a bit of cleaning up for my com since I have this gut feeling that it's going to fail on me very very soon. After that Axel called me up on Skype as he wanted to share the quality of a movie that he was going to send to me online. Sent me anyway, then he went to watch his friend play some dota, while I was downloading music and working on this blog post. Later I went to change my in game name to some ultimate troll name which consisted of 'HfYhFyOhAyoXD', and I always will laugh whenever I try to say the whole name out letter by letter. So the 3 of us started gaming, had a good early game, but we lost team fight after team fight, so we lost in the end. My laptop was also giving me a bit of problem, heating up and also loads of connection and lagging issues. I checked and I assumed that it might be my Drop-box that is causing the problem since I am still backing up my documents there. So right now Eugene and Axel are still gaming and hearing them crap talk while I'm still working on this blog post.

Work starts on Wednesday, some how I'm partially looking forward to work, but I'm not looking forward to the travelling and the bus fare is SUPERRRRR expensive (had to extend the word 'super' because the bus fares are no joke D:). But on the bright side the pay for me working there is quite good, so I guess it makes up for the transportation fees and also lunch money (:D)

So now I'm still listening to Eugene and Axel crap talk and game rage at the enemy, while I'm watching so funny videos on YouTube. It's going to be a brand new day tomorrow so I shall sleep soon.

11th of April

I decided to wake up early because I was supposed to head out to meet Nam for lunch and a chill session at the rooftop of a shopping mall. Had breakfast while listening to some music on my com, mum came home from some morning exercise and told me to leave house early since the weather seems to be freaking out a little. Played some cabal while waiting for 12 pm to come, then Nam texted me telling me to text her when I leave my house. Went to bathe then quickly left the house since I thought I was late. Reached CCK station at around 1:20 pm, then I went to walk one big around in the mall since I had nothing to do and Nam hasn't arrive yet.

Around 10 minutes later she arrived and since we had no idea what we wanted to eat so we ended up walking around for like 5 minutes while she suggested some foods like fast food / restaurant food / 'slow' food (._.) We ended up at PastaMania since we both felt like having pizza, found a table and went to order. While ordering I told Nam what I was about to order then she suddenly asked me whether if I wanted to go to PizzaHut instead since she knew that I wanted to order a Hawaiian pizza. I declined since we were already queuing up and I was also partially lazy to walk to the PizzaHut downstairs. I ordered a 7-inch Hawaiian pizza and a combo C (3 pieces of garlic bread and a regular sized drink), while Nam ordered a plate of chicken sausage pasta. We chatted as we ate, and when I shared about my crush with her and the tiny progress, she started screaming (I'm not kidding) and fan-girling. Apparently she didn't check my instagram (wink wink), guess she understood the whole situation since the grad party until now.

After lunch we went up to the rooftop of Lot 1 shopping mall and basically we chatted more about recent stuff, I learned about some new news about some of my friends that I apparently didn't know since I haven't talked to them for quite awhile. After chatting for about 2 hours, Nam wanted to get some ice cream so I just followed her to PizzaHut. She ordered this ice cream with a chocolate cake combo and we chatted and laughed so much cause we shared some funny stuff that happened in the past. We then left for home after 30+ minutes of chatting and laughter, I went to Clementi Mall to get some dinner and night snacks for my mum. Reached home and started chatting with a friend on skype while he taught me a new game which I almost raged while trying out the tutorial. Constructed a 5 bit count up binary counter in Minecraft while waiting for Eugene to figure out how to get the multiplayer function working in Civilization V. I decided to play some left 4 dead 2 because I still have 2 unfinished campaigns.

2:25 am, guess I will try to get some sleep because my stomach is feeling funky right now. Good night!

9th of April

It's the day of my job interview and I woke up after hearing my favourite song being played on my phone as my alarm, went to purposely let the song play on and song so that I could hear it more (:D).Got up anyway, had to endure my funky stomach when I was brushing my teeth, I guess I slept for quite a bit but I think I didn't sleep soundly enough. Went to switch on my com just to listen to some music and some minor upgrading in cabal (road to max tier equipment :P). Equipment grade dropped (D:) so I just stopped playing the game for a while. Ate my breakfast while my stomach was still feeling funky (D:) and I listened to some more music.

Since the interview was at 11 am, I left the house at around 9:50 am, since I thought that it would take me at least an hour to reach Funan by bus. Before leaving I checked the bus info and I saw that the next bus that will take me to Funan will reach that bus stop at around 12 minutes, so I took my own sweet time and left the house. At the bus stop, when I checked the timings again, I saw that the next bus will arrive in 10 minutes (oh well :\). I had no choice but to wait for the next bus, while waiting, I was listening to some of my favourite Korean songs. 2 minutes later a bus with a different number arrived at the bus stop, without thinking, I just boarded and I went to ask the bus driver if the bus actually passes by the place which I needed to go. He replied with a 'yes' so I tapped my card and headed upstairs. Felt pretty anxious because I never taken that route via bus before, so I was hoping that the bus driver could drive faster so that I would reach the place on time. 

To my surprise, I reached the place about 20 minutes early. I didn't feel that nervous, made my way up to the company, saw the familiar intern at the counter talking to another customer. I waved to her and sat down since she was still talking to the customer. After the customer left, I asked where my former colleague was, then she replied that the colleague went back to the Philippines, my former manager also returned to the Philippines to be hospitalized because of some growth on his thyroid. The lady boss came out after a while since she needed to pass me some application form. While filling it in, I chatted with the intern about school stuff. Turns out she aced modules like programming and programmable logic control applications, while getting high credit for engineering math and a few other modules, pretty much smarter and more hardworking than me I guess? :) Minutes later the boss called me into his office to conduct the interview, me obviously didn't prepare anything to say, so I just followed him inside his office while feeling nervous.

The first question he asked me was that why I wanted to work in that company of his. So I replied that while working as a receptionist for my internship at his company, I saw that every time a customer collected back his / her laptop, there will always be a sense of relief on their faces as they know that now their laptops are repaired, they can use it as per normal once more. I wanted everyone if not most them to leave with their repaired laptops with the relieved look on their faces, which was the reason why I came back there to work. Another reason which I did not tell the boss was that the company that my dad wanted me to work at, had no more vacancies. The boss then told me about the working days, but in the end I told him that I wanted to work part time instead of the full 6 days. We then negotiated the pay and work days properly, shook hands and bade each other goodbye. My first working day will start next Wednesday, until then I will just enjoy whatever time I have before I start work :D

Bought Texas Chicken because I wanted to satisfy my cravings today and coincidentally the MRT station which I alighted while on the way home, had an outlet (:P) Here's a picture! :D (Looks delicious, doesn't it? :P)


Watched some anime while eating and stoned in my bed room listening to some music and ate dinner a few hours later.
*Update: It's currently 10 pm, and I guess I will play some games before I go to sleep*

7th of April

Gosh, I woke up super, super late while trying to wake up early. I set an alarm to wake myself at 10 am, I remember when the alarm went off I stretched my hand to turn off the alarm on my phone. I laid on my bed for a short while with my eyes slightly opened, and the next moment I checked for the time on my phone, it's already 12 noon. So you could say that I was pretty shocked when I saw the time on my phone, woke up and washed up anyway. Mum cooked lunch since it's too late for breakfast because of my screwed up timing which I woke up (lol), bee hoon soup with some veggies and prawns, played some cabal before helping my mum do some vacuuming at my room and my parent's room. Had to like 'ninja' every now and then because of the space constraint, and I even had to like dismantle part of the air tubes just to get to places that are really narrow.

Continued playing cabal, went for the 4 pm nation war after much hesitation, and to my surprise I actually got pretty decent results. 10th place in the entire nation despite lacking the proper equipment and being under-leveled by 3 levels as compared to other players in that tier (opps, ego coming out again ._. feeling a little guilty :\) Bought some chicken for some early dinner at Star Vista, was actually against it because I wanted to just stay at home and rest before going out. Left the house with my stomach feeling a little funky from that early dinner, reached YB's house and paid my debt after 3 years (even though it's 20 bucks, took me 3 years to repay the money). I followed YB since he haven't had his dinner, he bought a bowl of porridge and 2 BBQ chicken wings and we chatted for a bit before he went upstairs and got some small stuffs. Bought myself a bottled drink because I didn't bring any water out (:\)

We went to the park nearby and we started chatting and discussing our current lives and the things that we were doing. So I will just share some of the stuff that I'm doing / planning to do right now. Right now I'm still waiting to get called for my job interview and I'm also waiting to enter the army (D:)

Updated: The lady boss of the company just called me and arranged an interview on Wednesday, *raising hand meme*

We chatted till about 11:30 pm until I had to leave for home and YB had to sleep soon because he has work the next day. I boarded the bus without having to wait for long because the bus was at the junction and the light was red so I guess I was lucky to be able to catch the bus (:P) Reached home and played one game with Xing Tang, Eugene and Axel before I actually went to work on this blog post (I actually started this post 24 hours ago and I've got no idea why I didn't managed to finish working on it before I went to sleep)

So it's now 1 pm in the afternoon on the 8th of April right, and I will start on another post tonight since the day is still not over and I might be taking a nap or something later in the afternoon (so I might as well just complete this unfinished post since yesterday :D)

6th of April

Like any normal day, I woke up at 11 am (actually my mum woke me up when she had to tell me something, I think that was around 9 am I THINK :P) Still feeling sleepy, I woke up and washed up, then switched on my computer and went to play some games while waiting for my mum to buy back some lunch (yes, I skipped breakfast because I overslept). Played some left 4 dead while eating some delicious Chicken Rice (with added rice because my mum knew that I didn't eat any breakfast - I love you mum, even though I don't usually say it out loud in front of you). Played 2 different campaigns, while I rage quit the 3rd because I couldn't stand the bots just standing there and seeing you die slowly.

After lunch I played some cabal, did some dungeoneering alone (again :\) and managed to earn some money after 3 hours. Mum cooked some tea break at around 3 pm, some nice 'kueh' and a hot Milo before returning to cabal. Guan Hao messaged me using the steam platform message and asked me to play some Dota with him. As I was still in cabal dealing with some monetary issues, I told him to wait for a short while. Within minutes, I joined Guan Hao and played the single draft dota mode. The first 2 games were not very pleasant because there were players that kept leaving and abandoning the game. In other words, they kept ruining the game. So basically after those players abandoned the game, Guan Hao and I just left too, since the short of players will just result in an imbalance of players, leaving the team with lesser players a huge huge disadvantage. We managed to play a decent game after that, was a pretty tough game because we kept winning and losing teamfights, so it was pretty hard to tell which team was going to emerge victorious. We managed to win at the very end, but it took a little toll on us because we were both exhausted after that game. Rong Jun joined us after he finished his co-op game, and we played another match, resulting in a win at the very end (was too lazy to post details about that match when Rong Jun joined us).

Mum went out to have dinner with my dad so she offered to buy back some dinner for us, I told my mum want I wanted to eat and then continued gaming. At around 6 my brother wanted to go out for a run, but as he was closing the door, I suddenly remembered that if I went out to run too, there will be no one inside the house to open the door for me since I knew that I will return home earlier than my brother. So I quickly asked my brother how long will he take to exercise and return home, instead he asked if I wanted to join him for a run. I quickly agreed and got changed in less than 2 minutes, and we headed downstairs. We agreed on running one full round around Singapore Polytechnic, which is approximately 3.2 km. We started running, saw my Uncle while running. I didn't really say hello to my Uncle because I wanted to focus on running, after about 2 km, I was dead tired so I stopped to walk for a short while. Walked past University town and New Town Secondary School, started running for a few metres (100 -150 metres) before quickly becoming exhausted again. Managed to painfully run the last 600 metres while enduring the pain near my hips, and my brother completed the run a few seconds after me. Brother went to get a drink from the Supermart, I followed him and we went to do some pull ups after that. Managed to do around 4 since I was already too exhausted from the run.

(skipped to after dinner since I'm too lazy to talk in detail what happened after reaching home and dinner, basically I chatted with Guan Hao and Rong Jun as they were playing, and mum came home with dinner so I just ate while chatting with them). Xing Tang wanted to join me for some #lowtierdota, so I agreed and asked Guan Hao and Rong Jun to join. 3 hours of non stop crap talking and watching my friend type all sort of nonsense stuff, had a great laugh in such a long time. I was pretty much thankful to him for playing with us because he also gave a good laugh for my friends, which I think is something we all need every once and awhile.

*It's 1:45 am right now and I'm already quite tired from typing this long long post (D:), so I will stop right here and create a new post for the brand new day tomorrow :D*

Adios Amigos~! :P

5th of April

I knew the night before that it was Tomb Sweeping day the following day, so I TRIED to sleep a bit earlier. But of course it never works unless I'm really tired, lol. Woke up around 7 am due to the loud sounds of the wind as it was going to rain heavily. Lazed in bed for 10 minutes before dragging my feet out and washed up. Had some breakfast and stoned in front of the com while waiting to leave the house, started raining heavily the moment we left the house. That wasn't all, felt like throwing up the moment we left house and also while waiting for the bus. Basically I had a terrible time as I was enduring the feeling of nausea, but luckily it went away after about 2 hours.

After praying at the place at Holland, we headed up North to Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery to pray to my uncle and grandfather, at the same time my dad brought me to see who my great grandfather and grand uncle were, as I have never seen them before, it's quite sad that the first them I see them, I can only stare at their pictures on the urn. So we went to clean the urn lockers for my great grandfather and grand uncle, and after that my cousins went to 'talk' to my uncle that passed on 2 years back. My father then discussed with my aunt about places to buy and to reserve for the future, I just hope that that time won't come any time soon, and that to enjoy life till then. Didn't managed to eat lunch until about 2+, stomach was feeling funky all morning after hours of enduring the nausea :\ So we went to eat some light lunch at the food hall. Mum passed me a box of vegetarian bee hoon, ate it anyway because I was too hungry. Then I fell asleep on the table because I was feeling so tired.

Soon after we left the place and took bus number 52 as my parents wanted to go to Clementi for some early dinner. The bus ride was a long and tiring bus ride, firstly was my backache that I had to endure, secondly was that there were no seats so I had no choice but to stand for most of the bus ride. While standing throughout the bus ride I felt tired and I even almost fell asleep while standing. Later my brother and I managed to find a seat near to the back of the bus, so we both sat down for the rest of the journey. I actually daydreamed a little because I was so tired. I dreamed that I was having happy times with her, holding her hand while running down a beach, then having a nice dinner near the beach for dinner and a night walk under the stars. Another part of it was that I was washing dishes with her and then I went to playfully place some soap bubbles on the tip of her nose, then she cutely placed some of them back onto my nose as a form of cute revenge. We both laughed at each other after that, and the last part of it was that I was standing back the same beach, and gave a kiss on her forehead and she smiled sweetly back at me, I woke up due to the bus moving up the highway and there were lots of rocking here and there.

Reached Clementi station after about 40 minutes of bus ride, alighted and we headed to this chinese restaurant to have early dinner. I didn't feel good and a little sick to my stomach, so I just ate very little and left for home early.

After leaving for home my stomach felt abit better, I was a little hungry so I ate some chicken flavoured cup noodles before I went to watch some Ghost Adventures on Youtube. Fell asleep on my bed while waiting for my friend to come home from dinner so that we could start the late night gaming session. So when I woke up I didn't feel like gaming so I just went to watch some more Ghost Adventures while having some bread for supper.

Yup so that's all that happened today, didn't really feel good because of my stomach, but I guess sleeping longer hours might help a little I guess? :P

Adios Amigos~

4th of April

Another magical thing happened to me today, and like the previous post I guess I shall start after I get out of bed.. Went to wash up and have some breakfast, felt like throwing up after eating so I went to distract myself by playing some Left 4 Dead 2. Stepped out of the house around 12+ and made my way to Funan Digitalife Mall. So I went there to submit my CV (Curriculum Vitae) to the company which was my former internship place. At the counter I saw my former colleague talking on the phone an another intern sitting at the counter beside her.

I actually went to ask her what course she was studying in etc, and I wasn't surprised when she told me that she was working her as an intern and was also from the same course as me. I chatted with my former colleague and I found out that quite a number of things changed such as repair charges / service charges increased by quite a lot, and I also learnt that many former colleagues of mine left. Quite a pity that I can't get to catch up with them. Took the train back to Chinatown and met up with my mum outside the MRT station, and went to eat some McDonalds for lunch. I felt like throwing up after eating but luckily that feeling went away after 20 minutes, and I was relieved of course :D Chatted with Yuan Bo over on WhatsApp while waiting for the food inside my stomach to settle, and of course I went to mail you know who (wink wink) :D

So I mailed you know who and asked if she wanted the picture that my friend took for me and her. My heart was beating like crazy as I was about to die waiting for her response. I then followed my mum to go to Uni Qlo to buy a new formal shirt for my graduation this coming May. Picked up a few shirts just to fit the size of my tiny upper body (D:), tried on a size S and it fitted perfectly but the sleeves were too short, so Mum suggested on changing it to one shirt size bigger. I agreed and mum went to take a larger size, while waiting the lady boss of the company called me on my phone. She actually asked me what kind of job scope I wanted if I wanted to work for them, so I replied that if I could get the job that I used to do back then during internship. Of course the lady boss offered me another position, but I told her that I had no experience in that field, she reassured me by saying to me that no one knows everything on the first day of work, then she proceeded by telling me that there will be an interview arranged within the next week.

Then something magical happened, I didn't dare to check my phone after I mailed you know who. But oh well I had to check sooner or later, so I unlocked my phone and went to Facebook. On my screen, it showed that I had 1 notification and 1 message. Me being a typical me (lol), I went to check the notification first. I clicked on the notification icon, and what I saw next activated the large adrenaline rush of excitement and happiness inside me. She accepted my friend request on Facebook, and I was celebrating like a mad man in the middle of the Uni-Qlo shop. People around me were staring at me, but I didn't care because it's the first time I'm genuinely felt happiness after a long time. Went home after purchasing the shirt, and while taking the bus back home, I went to chat with Yuan Bo and told him about the magical things that happened. After that I went to see what you know who replied, and she said that I could send her the picture via Facebook chat, but since I was outside, I told her that I could only send it to her when I reach home. After reaching home, I went to send the picture to her, and I said: "Alright here's the picture".

She replied, "Haha Thanks! I look so short here (with the laughing with tears emoticon)" I told her, that she wasn't short and that she's also relatively tall as compared to my friends. She replied saying that she wasn't the tall type (with a smile), then she said,"see you during graduation" thus ending the conversation. Obviously I didn't want the conversation to end but since she said it in such a convincing way to end one, I guess I had no choice to end the conversation too by saying: "Okay then, see you at graduation too:) Talk to you soon:)" After that I was hoping that she will reply once more, but I guess she was busy or something, so the next thing I saw was just a ✓ Seen 19:26.

I enjoyed talking to her even though it was only just 2 sentences that she said to me, and I couldn't help but to share the happiness by chatting with Yuan Bo, Ben and also with Guan Hao on skype. With the good mood, I ate my dinner and chatted with Guan Hao till around 9+ pm, and we both started the late night gaming session.

*The late night gaming session just ended and I'm still here typing out this long long post (D:) because I have another entry to make tomorrow*

It's pretty late into the night and I've got to wake up early to go out with my family for prayers tomorrow morning. So Adios Amigos!~ :P

3rd of April

It's been about close to one month since I have officially ended classes and exams in SP, quite a sad period of time for me as no school made me feel pretty empty and bored. Haven't really been doing many things since then, other than some impromptu gatherings/late night gaming sessions with Rong Jun and Guan Hao, sometimes Yuan Bo will join in. Truly treasured those times, as other than doing that, I will just end up gaming alone or just watch Korean variety shows such as Running Man, Hello Counselor or Happy Together.

Been in rather poor health these few days, feeling like throwing up after eating meals. Anxiety attacks happen every now and then, usually when I'm outside and also when I'm feeling nauseous after a meal. Tried going for some jogs every now and then, which helped a little as running increases my appetite for the next meal and makes me feel tired more earlier, which will help me to sleep earlier and better at night. I also have been experiencing some sleepless nights for the past 3 days, sleeping long hours but late into the night. I wake up around 11 am but I still feel very tired and sometimes even feeling sick after I get out of bed. The sleepless nights usually start by my stomach bloating to the point I feel absolutely nauseous, and after eating some medication, the nauseousness will go away just that the stomach remains bloated until like 4 am in the morning, and that's when I do actually manage to fall asleep. Oh well, this has been going on for quite awhile, but I do manage to get well after a few days, just that the downside is that my appetite will be ruined for a short period of time. In other words the diet during that period of time will just be fish soup + rice or sometimes just soup alone. Sucks doesn't it?

Downloaded quite a number of Korean songs recently, because I have been listening to some charts by some You Tubers, and I felt that some of them were pretty good, so I just downloaded them straight into my computer. Songs like CNBLUE's Can't Stop, MYNAME's Day by Day, Yong Jun Hyung's Flower and Caffeine. I also found another clubbing remix which I though it was awesome :D That mix has this particular part that consisted of songs like Seungri's Gotta Talk To U, 2pm's Come back When You Hear This Song, Henry's 1-4-3, Infinite's Destiny, CL's The Baddest Female, Teen Top's Rocking and BTOB's Thriller. I couldn't stop replaying that part over and over again because it was simply too awesome beyond words :P

Here's the link if you want to check out the remix by yourself! :
http://youtu.be/io98btiYBSY

Just remember to turn on the annotations to when you watch while listening so that if there's any song want to know more about, it's given in the annotations :P:D Happy listening :)

And so I guess this post will come to an end here because I might be going for a night gaming session with Guan Hao and Rong Jun in a few minutes time. So, adios amigos! :D

Grad Party

So yeah here I am back again because something very magical happened to me yesterday. So you may ask, what was the magical thing that happened to me yesterday? Shall I start from the moment I stepped out from the house?

I was doing some stuff on my laptop, then I went to watch a show, I left house in a haste after seeing the time that I had left on the clock to meet my friends. We were supposed to meet at 1 pm to watch the Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie that afternoon. With haste, I managed to reach the cinema entrance at about 1:30 pm, met Nam then I asked her to enter first because the rest of them were already sitting inside. Bought my own set of Popcorn and drink, and sat down in the cinema hall to watch the movie. The movie itself was beyond awesome, too many bad ass things in there, won't reveal any spoilers, watch the film yourself :) Anyway after the movie we headed back to school for the Grad party, something that I've waited for since forever. A friend of mine told me that there was an email sent to us containing the names of the participants. I frantically went to check the email, hoping to see if she was also attending the party. To my dismay, her name and contact didn't appear in the list, leaving me very disappointed and a little sad, Crestfallen, I followed my friends to the food court 3, they ate some food but I just sat there and chatted with my friends til around 4:50 pm, where we made our way to the Hall area where the Grad party was held. Saw the reception counter, then I went to register my name and collect my goodie bag. When I turned my head and looked inside the Hall, I saw her, standing near the podium, controlling something on the laptop. My heart skipped a beat the moment I saw her and I couldn't express the feeling of joy when I saw her. My friends were teasing me a little when they saw her too. We entered the hall and my friends chose the table that is relatively near to the podium (perhaps they were helping me), but I was thankful for that.

Unexpectedly, she was the one of the MCs for the dinner and that made her stand out even more. Since they were not many people attending the dinner, she requested for all of us to be more 'sporting' so that things won't be so awkward between the participants and the MCs. There were games being played, and the first game was called 'bingo', in which there was a piece of paper with a 6 x 7 grid, and behind the paper were a number of requirements to fulfill. Requirements such as finding the person with the same hobby, same birth month, or someone that is joining the workforce soon etc. As I skimmed through the requirements, there was one that caught my eye, this statement that said: 'Someone you find pretty'. That very moment, a light bulb went over my head, since the MC said that I could ask anyone, I quickly made my my mind and I went to ask her. I hesitated for quite awhile, and for some reason, a large amount of courage surged through my body, and the next thing I knew, I tapped on her elbow and she stared at me. That moment, I couldn't believe that she's staring at me. I opened my mouth and I said to her: "Hey, I think you are really beautiful to me". After hearing that, she laughed and said one of the sweetest 'thank you' to me, and she filled that square with the signature. Next, I asked her: "So what's your name?" (I know it is a very irrelevant question because I already knew her name long time ago). "Soyeon", she said, and then I replied to her by saying, "Oh, my name is Justin" and then we smiled. At least she knew about my existence.

Skipping to the dinner, my stomach was feeling very funky after drinking a cup of orange juice. So I didn't really have much appetite to eat. Instead, I got myself a small plate of fried noodles, some vegetables and a small slice of sweet and sour fish. During dinner Soyeon walked from table to table and handed out a small circular tin of butter cookies, she then leaned close to me to place the tin on the table, After seeing this, my friend said to me, "liking this Justin?" I obviously didn't reply because I was a lil' embarrassed. Since none of my friends didn't want the tin of cookies, it ended up in my hands (I was secretly celebrating of course). The whole time I was just looking at her and giving her the 'love look in my eyes' the whole time when I'm staring at her. After dinner, there was a photo taking session, and soon after was free and easy. Another light bulb went over my head, so I quickly asked my friend to help me. The adrenaline rush surged through my body once more, and I approached her once more. I asked her, "Soyeon? Is it okay if I can take a picture with you?" With a cheerful voice, she said,"Sure!" I was awfully delighted.

She took a picture with me and I was trying not to smile awkwardly. I really couldn't believe that she's just less than 8 cm away from me. After that I thanked her, and I went off to chat with my other friends. As I left the Hall, my whole body was feeling like a drunkard, my sense of coordination was low and I was somewhat smiling unknowingly with an utter loss for words. I turned back one last time, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. I failed, the rain was too thick and the windows had blinds so it's almost impossible to see her one last time. With a heavy heart, I left for home.

So that's basically it for the things that happened yesterday, and probably the next time I will see her is during graduation. By then, I will just tell her everything that has been in my heart for over a year, because I feel that she needs to know about it.
