[日本語能力試験2級ーふざけるな〜〜〜〜]

久しぶりに日本語で書いたんですけど。。ちょっと英語の代わりに書きたくなっちゃって。昨日さ、花ポット(Flowerpod)のかぎども会う前に、一人ぼっちに紀伊国屋に行ってJLPT受ける学生たちのための本を見た。平成16年の1.2級のは見た時。。。心がギュウって口から跳んで出した。って。。これは2級だと?!嘘!!まさか!!!ふざけるな!!!っていうかんじこころに溢れた。質問に分からん漢字がいっぱいで、分からん文法もあるし。。。希望は絶望になり命の意味もなくなっちゃった。

それでいい。。はは〜

[Waruku !!!!]

This is one of the best tasting Jpn restaurant ever. This place is famous for its papersteamboat which was featured in some TV show recently. This time round we met up with more podders haha. It was supposed to be a ladies only outing but in e end, it was not. haha

Anyway the food was excellent and so was the service. The proportions was huge too...The dessert were great esp the clementine belle which is actually citrus flavoured. Something refreshing. Anyway a pic says a thousand words.

[Goodbye my Lover]

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

[Ponders upon ponders]

Ponders upon ponders, my mind wonder abt this word called RELATIONSHIP. Human are gregarious creatures. No man is an island, to me at least. A r/s is never easy in the first place, no matter what it is, be it love,family,friends.

Lets start with love btwn a man and a woman. Who dun want to be loved? Who dun want to have someone by ur side to care for and to be cared for? Who dun wan someone to be there to love and to be loved? Somehow, no matter what there will be a special place for that someone special, whether they appear or not. Today, I see alot of pple taking r/s lightly. Some young people are afraid to be tied down by the committment needed for a r/s. Some went into one without thinking they need to commit in a r/s. Some people do not know what they want in a r/s.

For those who dun wan to be committed,they go for flings. 'Flings', what an alien word. I honestly cannot fully comprehend some pple can actually 'suppress' themselves. It is amazing feat to actually be able to prevent urself from commiting. Or is the fact that they do not dare to commit? Anyway, it just boils down to the fact that people are too selfish these days.

As for friends, I believe real friends are those whom u can go thru thick and thin with. They can laugh with u and they can cry with u. They will chide u when u r lost and they will lend a helping hand when u need one. Real friends will not let minor things like small quarrels or fights to ruin the whole thing. Real friends will not make use of one another for monetary or personal satisfaction. Real friends are there, always when u need them.

As for family, I am too lazy to comment. ahhahaha. Give me ur comments and ideas, if there's anyone who read. =/

[Singles Outing meeting 2 more pics !!!!]

This was prob the most FUN FUN FUN outing since last Sat. We had Swensons @ PS. We initially wanted dimsum but could not find a suitable place, so in the end we decided on Cafe Cartel but since there was a long queue we went to Swensons instead. Sad thing was there was supposedly to be another gal who would be joining us but she...well sorta disappeared without a trace. Poor organier samantha was calling her countless times and no answer from her. Oh well..

Coincidentally, I met HY while i was waiting for the guys n gals @ Dohby Ghaut MRT. She was looking pretty waned tho.

After a heavy dinner ( I had breaded chicken m*******) again. We decided to KTV ! WHAHAHAHHAHA. I was holding back a lil since I supposed to have another ktv session on Sun. But nvm since the gals were pretty keen on KTV, e guys followed. haha. Looks like the guys do not really KTV as much as the gals. This time, there were 5 guys and 2 gals. haaha. KTV was fun once I got into the mood. I was rocking n rolling n tapping my feet to the rythums to the songs. I sang quite a no. of songs suprisingly. Im now hooked to KTV!! Call me anytime. whahhaha.

Anyway, here are the pics =)

["Nice day"]

Woke up in the morning, wanna apply for Uni SIM online, realise I could not. I was stuck at page 2 where i was supposed to key in my present (soon it will be past) and past employment. Everything typed nicely and I clicked next n save. That stupid system kept telling me there was some error with the start date and end date blah. I tried many times and it just could not work. Anyway, i called up SIM and there was this nice lady who helped me to key in the page where I was having problems. Yay it worked, but realised when i tried to make changes. It showed me the cock error message again.

I have never felt so pissed since a long time.

When I tried to print out my photos, I has difficulties again...Argh. Sucky day, nothing went right including the chatroom which kept lagging.

Great thing is, I will be outta job after Monday. Song boh? Hope to get my Uni stuff settled by the end of Sep which btw is also the closing date.

Its not a bad thing to take a break at home but if the break is too long. My mind will start wondering heaven earth and hell which is not a good thing plus my mum's chanting. Hope to land myself in a perm job soon.

[3rd =) do not eat sundae on a Sunday]

3rd time meeting HY, well it's supposed to the 4th but something happened unexpectedly last week so..Anyway it was supposed to be ktv which turned out to be aichi-kochi shopping. This time round we did not go to the usual shopping haunts but neighbouring SCs.

1st stop, West Mall.HY was in 'sporty' outfit on Sun. Oke quite sporty, except she did not bring a tennis racket and a sports cap. haha.It was pretty fast, we walked here n there then walked out. ahha. We were supposed to go Bishan which was not that near. On the way to Bishan while reaching Causeway Pt, she suddenly felt like going to Nanyang Optical in Causeway Pt. We were almost going out when she hestitated again, anyway I 'chased' out. She wanted to 'beo' her 'big eyes lens'.

Anyway, it was a blessing. Not only she found her big eye lens, she was told by the nice sales lady that they could actually indent her long lost Sequence lens for her! We were told that this particular series is still being sold n used worldwide, EXCEPT SG. Anyway we were bewiidered. But good thing is, her lens is settled more or less.

We wanted to have some ice cream @ Swensons - too long queue. Ended up at MacD where I had a Sundae, she had McFlurry. Anyway it was a bad choice to have Sundae on a Sunday. -,-

We proceeded to Marina where we walked aimlessly cos the place is so new. Anyway that place is SO squeaky quiet. There were like less than 100 pple there. Oh abt the sundae, it was making my stomach churn while walking in Causeway Pt. It did get abit worse in Marina, the urge to bomb came n went. But it was not THAT bad. As usual, we had trouble deciding what to eat @ Marina. In the end, we went to Suntec to dine at Swensons! haha.

Oh we were walking in Suntec where suddenly an uncle stopped me and asked if I or did he meant 'we' are still schooling. I said no, working,then he asked if she's my er...er.....g* before I cld say anything, I saw HY like 10 miles in front of me. Anyway, that uncle was someone from a bridal shop. -,-

Swensons @ Suntec was rather nice and quiet. I had breaded chicken m******** (alien word) and she had fish n chips. Since it was sinful food to her, she offered some of her fish to me and I passed all the colesaw to her. I still dun like the taste of colesaw,tartar sause and mayoniese. Is it THAT nice??? Oh yeah, the best thing was, we were given free mocha ice-cream mooncakes at the end as desserts! haha. Another sinful tempation.

Then we walked to Raffles City, a place where I walked every morning. Sat down at the benches over there n chatted. She revealed to me some secrets which I didn't know all these while. And I thot it was eyeshadow. My stomach was not that well and I was not quite myself since I slept at 3+am the night before.

We walked to the station at 10+ and parted.

Quiet,comfortable..

[singles podders meeting wahahha]

Being in FP has been fun, besides knowing some really nice friends, I have been enjoying their severals meet ups. The one last night was no exception. In fact it started out from a 'Singles Thread' There were 2 grps actually and mine consisted of the bigger one since we had 6 of us in this grp.

Strangely enough, before this meeting at my Jpn class, there was this conversational Jpn practice abt grp dates. In Jpn, its called goukon which is derieved from some funny language. I got the urge I was going for something familar later ahhahaa. But of cos I did not. Some of my classmates brought champagne mooncakes and some yam puffs. The champagne mooncakes have this small white chocolate inside which contains champagne. E smell is abit strong tho. Worse, one of the guy clasmates is actually allergic to ALL alcohols.

Oke lessons ended and I made my way down to Orchard. As usual I was too early but I met up with lemon and qin-er at heeren. Fwah 1st time see this lemon, so tall! He looked skinny in his pic but he is almost towering over me. -.- And qin-er was as usual. Later we met at Orchard station control with saman,kuku,windy,autumn and we proceeded to fish n co @ Wheelock to have our dinner.

5 outta 7 of us ordered Black Peppered Stingrays while lemon was adventurous enough to try out fish with coriander while qin had fish n chips. We has quite a nice time chatting there tho the air-con proved to be a lil too cold for most of us. The sting-ray was pretty good, a whole chunk of meat topped with savoury black peppered sauce and decorated with some carrots and unknown fruits. We ordered the stingrays with rice instead of chips. The rice was not bad with raisins and cashew nuts. Yes yes, I was supposed to bring my cam but did not. In the end due to my rush, I forgot all abt it when I left it charging in another room. The instant cam which lemon bought had an ultra bright flash. I bet all of us will look as if we had oil being poured all over our faces. aahha

Later we walked to the Apple Center @ Wheelock. Pretty crowded tho, most likely lured to the new Ipod nano (www.apple.com.sg/ipodnano) kuku and autumn bought some clips to coil their earphones wires. Later we met another smaller grp (love, terry n xiaozhen) for coffee and chill out at NYDC outside heeren. It was pretty good tho some of us nv really chatted due to the seating arrangement. We happened to meet Amuro_Love. Quite a nice sweet gal who was...quite whacky..haha..she was shocked to see me! And she said i look 19... -.- Windy said i look 26 =_=

Chilled until 10.30pm and off we went. Overall a nice meetup. Tho im sure if any sparks fly ahhahahahaha.

[What is Love?]

Since the age of man, humans has been looking for this uniquely humane bonding called 'Love'. So what is love? Some says love is a special feeling one fall in and out.

To u is love :

1) a feeling that may not last ?

2) a euphemism for a sexual relationship ?

3) self-sacrificing action on behalf of others ?

4) acceptance without criticism ?

5) being more honest than nice ?

(above quoted from http://www.rbc.org/ds/q0714/q0714.html#page3)

I did ponder abt love when I came to age. Honesly, who can really understand it? What came close to me then were mere crushes which did not really last long. It is until the day, when I went to church one day. I was shown this .

Love suffers long and is kind;

love does not envy;

love does not parade itself,

is not puffed up;

does not behave rudely,

does not seek its own,

is not provoked,

thinks no evil;

does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (1 Cor. 13:4-7).

My God! What a perfect explanation! If anyone says they love u, tell them the above. That is real love, the perfect love. And honestly enough, it keeps me looking up and going. For me at least, love is like the above and I am trying to do the same despite my own flaws n limitations. I did try, not sure if it was enough, in my ex r/s. The above to many will seem to be utterly stupid, lame and ridiculous. Such pple see love as an emotional investment, 'I dumped in xxx amt of time,effort and money unto someone, I expect to have returns of yyyy amt'

As feelings got me down on Tuesday and even Wednesday, someone told me, "No one is perfect, so stop complaining" What strong words which smack me right up and eventually lead me to think of the REAL meaning of love. Inhumanly possible..but at least I try.

[mobile phones]

Rarely do I have the inspiration to do more than one post a day.

Yeah sometime do u ever wish this device called the mobile phone is never invented? Indeed the benefits and are a plenty but there are times where I wish u cld really throw this thing with buttons and an color lcd with polyphonic ringtones away. Well not that the fact I got alot of people calling or smsing me ( I wish I do sometimes) but sometimes....argh....nvm..

[owards a BSc Business with Communications & JLPT 1]

It was probably not in the future plans that I will be enrolling in a University degree course. The mouldy staled reason I always tell myself and others is "No money" Indeed true, my mum was not very supportive of me going for a degree course whatever her reason was. Well,the fact was NEVER the money issue but perhaps my lack of determination to convince her that I really want to go for a degree course. So there it goes, poly > NS > work. No plans, yet.

But I am glad things have changed for the better. Perhaps its due to humane factors, perhaps it is myself who have realised that having a degree might be better afterall,perhaps someone has spurted me. Ever since I ORDed, I was never in the design line. It sucks anyway, my frineds who are/were working as designers are/were working like dogs or even lower. As a close friend used to decscribe, a graphic whore. I have been doing operations/administrative positions. Some which I never really treasured.

For example, I kinda of regretted I quited my previous full time perm job as a tour executive. I have let things to get to personal. But anyway, past is past, no point crying over spilled milk. During the periods when I was jobless and slacking at home and while browsing through jobs websites. I always realised many of those operation and administrative positions actually required some forms of Biz dip or degree. I have seen many of my applications were labelled as "Under further considerations", I guess this is due to my dip which was really a non-relevant cert.

Also as a man, it will only be beneficial if u have goals and ambitions. What is a man without goals and ambitions? To live each day by each day? What will that make me look like? I dun think I was really such a person when I was in poly. Whatever the reasons which cause it, they are probably excuses.

So tml I wil be going down to SIM for openhouse. Hope I will get to obtain more information abt the degree which I want to pursue.

vFirst thing, I need to get a perm full time job to finance myself.

Secondly, I will enroll in SIM School of Business, hopefully to start next Jan.

Thirdly, I will continue to strive for my Jpn JLPT1, hopefully to get JLPT 2 next yr.

Fourth, a driving license.

Finally, the future looks slightly lit :) No more a headless fly buzzing ard aimlessly.

[Case closed]

Im perplexed by a certain unexplained feeling which I had been getting since a disturbing Sat incident. I am blogging this down as I am certainly this is already case closed and I am over it.

So the incident was, some fcuker was trying to be funny by placing his cam mobile phone under a friend's skirt. So somehow I sensed something was not right (guy's instinct?) and indeed i saw something which I really dreaded to see. My immediate reaction was shoving my friend to one side and stood behind her. This sudden incident shook the both of us since we had never experienced such audacity in a public place before.

I was visibly disturbed aftet this incident and it was suffocating me for sometimes. I kept thinking if what I did was right. People whom I had spoken with regard to this incident generally gave me these comments, " Why u nv expose that guy?' "U shld have confronted him" "U shld have called the security" and a whole other whatever of 'u should xxx u should yyy"

My primary intention was to protect the interest of my friend. I do not want what happened to her to be exposed to the eyes of the public. I do not want to let what that fcuker was doing to continue what he was doing. I also wanted to let him know what he did was not unnoticed of. If I made a big hooha, how will she feel? I do not wan to spoil the evening.

U know Singaporeans, full of pathetic peasants eagerly awaiting to see some good show. If I confronted the guy, things will turn out ugly. Who know what will I do if i go berserk? Hitting someone is a crime as well no matter ur reason is. And I do not want to play hero. Anyway I was surprised I was cool headed enough not to do anything to that fcuker.

Also there is a undelying factor, I do not want to over-react. Things might be different if this happens to my gf.

While lamenting on this issue during lunch time. I came to realise that . As long as what I think what I did was correct nothing else matters, that is the most important thing. I did what I thought was the best at that point of time. My motive was to ensure the interest and protect the victim and not make myself a hero. My other close 2 friends also felt that I did the right thing.

Well case closed. I felt so much relieved after shitting this out. :D

[gals be careful if u r wearing mini-skirts and gg up escalators.]

Finally i got my shoes..Adidas.. My 4yr old Nike Shox are coming apart, so I need to get a new pair of shoes quite desperately haha.

Well initially, I nv thot of going to town today to buy anything but HY did msg me this morning (to my surprise actually) if I wanna shop ard today and yeah so I did. But I needed to go back to office to return my boss's IC. Anyway lucky I managed to make it time for some shopping.

Walked ard some of the same areas as of last Sun. She went hestitating if she shld get a C&K bag again. I...made some careless remarks and she lost interest in buying it. haha...and what I find nice n simple, she finds it not so..Being quite stoned and dead after 3 hrs of Jpn class, we were bascially walking in circles at some areas. Soon after we made our way to FEP where I basically was looking for shoes.

I did find one which was not too bad but a pity it was the last pair but i got abit of discount over it so i guess it's oke. Well it was $110. Walked ard some shops seeing the more or less usual stuff in FEP. After awhile she went into a shop which apparently she was attracted by the music the shop was playing. Usher's Burn? This song did bring back some images of the MV which some of the most striking was some tall palm/coconut trees catching fire. So...I told her that and she bursted out laughing again. Hmm...

Walked all the way to..some place near PS for BK, since Swensons was having a 10m long queue. I had rendang while she had fish, which was not fish in the first place cos it was an wrong order. Walked to PS....

Some of the most disturbing thing happened in PS.Anyway, if u gals or ur gal friends or galfriends who like to wear mini-skirts, pls take care to see who the fuck is behind u and note what are they doing, esp when u are up on an escalator. For guys, pls stand behind ur gal friends, gfs if they are wearing those mini or ultra mini-skirts whenever u r shopping with them and esp on escalators.

Oke shit aside, we took a ride to Raffles Place and had some good chat at Singapore River side..before we knew it was like 11.45 and we made our way home.
