gong xi fai cai!

GONG XI FA CAI!!!!

today, being the first day of chinese new yr. haha. slept till almost noon then wake up, prepare to go out. went to my grandma hse. it was rather sian down there that i felt like getting out of the hse asap. just sitting there and watching tv, and there is nothing much on tv also. only gd thing is getting hongbaos. but i guess most of the sum i get will go back to my mum. it is like exchanging money bwt families. My mother give my cousin 20 bucks and i get back 20 bucks from my aunt. and of course, me being only son, my mum will surely lugi a bit. only when i get to my maternal grandma hse, then got mahjong to play. never play money also not shiok. hehe. i alreadly ask my cousin to bring his mahjong set to my hse tmr. haha. the feng shui master on tv said those people born in the yr of tiger will have 'heng cai'. so hope tmr can win some money. or better, can win the hongbao draw!!!!!!!

some funny clips for the new yr. this is a spoof of desperate housewives by MadTV. freaking funny. the 'housewives' look like freaks!!!!

and there is this commercial on IPad

hahaha. I love MADTV!!! reminds me of the one on memoirs of a geisha. couldn't stop thinking abt the spoof even when watching the movie itself. esp the 'you are ready' part. and roswandy and i kept talking abt it in camp!

talking abt memoris of a geisha. it is slightly different from the bk itself. a lot of details that i could remember in the book was not shown on screen. of course, making a movie has its limitations. gong li as hatsumomo was great! she was really a bitcH! and i find that the actress who act as pumpkin look funny.

woof woof

time passes quickly. it's going to be chinese new year again. still remember the last chinese new yr was spent with botak head, but with a much slimmer body. as i grow older, cny seems less fun to me. in the past, i like chinese new yr so much. go so many food to eat, got so many hongbao. but now, i dun have a strong feeling for new yr. it is just like any other day, except no sch or work. then dressing up and visiting relatives, so whom i have not seen since the last new year. so, i have not seen them for so long, so naturally, i would forget how to address them, or even how they are related to me. I mean not those of my immediate family, but those distant relatives. one gd way is just to smile smile and then 'gong xi fa cai' and get away with it. but lah, it is quite rude to do so. so i need to have my parents beside me. they are like sort of my reference bk or dictionary. getting information from them.

food wise. CNY food doesn't seem much diff from the one we have been eating daily. i guess in the past, where CNY is such a joyous and a much look forward to occasion is because people dun get to have meat, fish, chicken much during normal days, so the occasion to indulge in such food would be CNY. but nowadays, everymeal has meat, fish, chicken (literally) and it makes CNY food looks almost the same. of course there are the indulgence food such as abalone that we get to eat mostly during CNY. i remember there was one episode of the tv show, abt the GIANT supermarket one, one contestant won 88 cans of abalone. wow. wonder how she is gonna eat them all. can go visit relatives n friends with 2 cans of abalone liao. and abt snacks. nowadays, the snacks are like available even during non cny and thus the food seems so common also. the one i am craving for the most would be 'ba gua', which i think is ridiculously priced. 1 kg for $42!!!!!!

just finished cleaning the house with my mum. threw away so many rubbish. didn't realise my room have got so much things. gotta throw some away, if not there isn't any place to keep them all. then it is on to the cleaning. i lift up my comp and was simply amazed by the amt of dirt under it. then one thing that is hard to clean is the keyboard. there are just so many dust trapped in bwt the keys. i think i gonnna clean my keyboard again. it is just too dirty! can't imagine i was cleaning the hse from 8pm to 12 midnight.

not gonna write anymore. wishing everyone a happy chinese new yr!! all the best for the coming year of dog. woof! woof! (i am thinking of having a doggie....)

funny

yeah. cleared my AMPT. at first thought how difficult the thing gonna be, but then, chey. just do normal PAM and then can liao loh. dunno last yr how come all of them fail. maybe it is because we got revision lesson this yr and also because ............ (some things cannot be said here). then the first 20 qns of theory is so fucking easy. was smiling and doing at the same time. was thinking, chey chicken feet. then from qn 21 onwards, i started to curse liao. then the ultimate one was qns 30 onwards. almost screamed CCB there. some of the things they ask our business meh??? just use common sense and whack lah!

rainy days.....

It has been a wet and cold day. been raining non stop since this morning.... i am all wrapped up, even at home. just so so so so cold. even yest, while we were at ubin, it also rained.

and yup. our annual visit to ubin. the same old ppl, peishan, leeching, kunying, teewei n me. before we even travelled to the jetty, it alreadly rained. and while we were cycling halfway, it rained also and we were stuck outside the toilet at mamam beach, and our only source of entertainment was kunying's camera. cycled somemore and it rained again. ultra sianz. at the end, we were all dirty n wet. but it is the company that we enjoyed most! It is really amazing that despite we meet up only like once every few months, but everytime, we have tons of topics to talk abt. whereas with some people, though we meet everyday, we are hardly able to get a proper conversation going. anyway, it was a really nice day spent with them.

watched renci charity show just now on tv. it seems really hard to get donations after the nkf saga. of course, renci seems like the innocent party, but ' yi zhi gun da fan zhen chuang ren', loosely translated; one rod can overturn the whole boat full of people. people aren't going to part with their money so easily, esp with the doubt on where their money is going to. but looking on the other side, there are really people that need our help. so don't ever give up on charities. i donated $5 too. it is not much, but i hope i can help a bit. talking abt helping, i should also try to do a bit of chairty work in my free time nowadays. ok, i shall try.

argh!!! ampt coming up next wk. hope i dun cock it up....

Looking back.....

Finally it is the year 2006. The year i am going to ORD in!!! How sad it is to spend new yr eve and the first few hrs of 2006 in camp. but, at least i get to rest for 2 days after my duty. wat a lonely new yr. only me and roswandy in camp, wishing each other happy new yr.... how lame.... spent the new yr talking to pinkie too. haven met pinkie n gang for a long time. but managed to have breakfast with him today!

a look at the yr 2005.
Well, it was a whole yr in army. 6 months in BMT. lost weight. became more vulgar. guess these are the 2 major change in me. Actually i quite miss those days in bmt. our super slack program. getting to sleep almost every aftermoon. how we sabo ppl in section 4. all the nonsense and shit in the bunk. it was really fun. and we really knew each other very well after 6 mths together. a pity we weren't tat close and we never really kept in touch after bmt.

then it was on to SMM. made a lot of gd frens there, like pinkie, derek, aaron ang (tat idiot now MIA liao) n miss elaine. cockster gang. SMM was damm slack, but enriching. really learnt a lot of things there, despite always sleeping or talking during lectures. and not forgetting all the IV sessions. now i see needle, haha, chicken feet. poke where u want... became much closer to pinkie, always talking abt dark vader blackie. haha. it was a nice 9 weeks course there.

then got posted out to tg gul camp. bloody ulu place. still remember the first day i went there, i was like bloody sian. the whole place is so bloody run down. but soon realise days there are not bad. it is really good compared to other centres. still gonna spend closer to 1 yr there. hope life would get better!

What i want for 2006?
Life is really becoming a bore. I want to learn something. Driving is first on my list, provided i have $$. so i need tuition lobang. probably gonna start learning a language too, maybe jap. i want to make my life more enriching, start getting the brain cells to work again least they become dead before i go to uni. Lose some more weight also. Maybe erm....... 80kg?? and of course waiting for my ORD to come!!!!!!
