Meet ups with long - uncontacted friends surely felt good =)

" we can skip all the warming up bullshit and still talk like the years hasnt gone by "

That was the nicest i've heard all evening yesterday.

Finally a month in BMT. PTP phase is over, but hell, I ain't getting anywhere nearer to my ippt aim.
Yea, there's improvement but there's more to be done.

Endure all the way.

Its funny how people easily get influenced by our peers, the latest trend, and, the most important one of all, the media. Hahs. Well, basically, if you're rich, and your company's doing damn well in the market, your company's name and / or products' name will be famous all over the world. And when that happens, funny stuffs starts happening.

Here's a conversation i've heard once, while strolling at the supermarket with my parents one day,

" LAO GONG AH, shall we buy more pampers? Our baby needs more. At home running out liao. " Said this middle age lady, probably in her mid 30s.

Well, first fact, Pampers isn't the correct term to be used. Pampers's the brand name. LOLS. It should be called diapers. Well, there are many other brands of diapers too. Mummy poko pants and even huggies! Imagine saying you wanna purchase hugs. hahs, and there are people in the world giving out free hugs. The irony.

Another classic example is buying toothpaste. Colgate, being one of the top brands in singapore, is very much commonly known in singapore. " Mummy, at home no more colgate already. " And mum comes home with DARLIE and says " nah, here's your colgate. "
There's sensodyne, the kids' famous lion brand and of course, the tri - coloured aquafresh.

The one that relates closer to home (at least for me) is tupperware. Ever heard of people wanting to ta pao their food? The common conversation would be " EH. help me pack the food into the tupperware. I want to bring home " There goes the food into a common plastic container. How can that be comparable to a tupperware??!! My mum's a tupperware dealer. And i must say, my home's filled with em. and they're not like any other plastic container. even much better that lock & lock (in my opinion that is )

Although there's many more other examples that others can think off, but this is just something hilarious that came across my mind the other day. hahs. oh wells.

On another note: Army in week's time. YEA! & uh-huh.

As go through my email today, I stumbled across a facisnating email sent to me. I shan't say who its from, but yea, just wanna share something.

This is an exerpt rom it.

12) "I want to spill my heart and tell you my life sucks" blogs are for
losers. They dramatize situations and make you feel even more victimized.
Instead of "telling" people about your feelings and failures, take
action to change and improve your habits and personality. (They are linked.)

It's a much more productive use of your time!

I guess this is very true.

I finally took off the damn bandage stuck on my left foot.
The torture, oh, not the pain of the foot, but not being able to wash my foot. hahs.

well anyways,

BON VOYAGE Tingwei!

well its always a new experience in a foreign country =)

                                                                        
What should we do, when all seems a blur?
I've reach the point, where I need to make a stand.
No more hiding behind the closet in a curl.
I should decide and do something, maybe not? Maybe i can.

Its time to tear away the excuses, yes okay.
Its time to really sit down and think.
Now, what i really want in life you say?
oh my, I've got nothing that really links.

I'm feeling kinda poetic tonights.
Although i think it pretty much sucked.
I so seriously need to think about my future.
damn, mum's right.

" Never judge a book by its cover "

This phrase has many disputed origins, some say it first appeared in 1944, in an American journal, others say it first appeared in the murder mystery novel, Murder in the Glass Room, by Edwin Rolfe and Lester Fuller.  Some even claimed that the idea came about in the early 16 century.

Well, no matter where, whom or when it came from, this phrase is very true, even till today.

I had my very first, significant impression of this phrase recently, during work. Working at the robinsons expo sales has exposed me to many people, especially new friends. There's this particular cashier collegue of mine. He has medium length spiky hair, and straight fringe that falls all the way down his face. ( parting to the side, so you can actually still see his eyes) Furthermore, he has this face. Hahs, one look and this first thought that came to my mind. " wtf, freaking beng "

Intially, i didn't really liked him. The way he speaks to customers, the way he calls customers lining up in queue to the till and such. Untill i finally got to speak to him and such.

Here's the nice part. He's in NTU.

" !!! Beng can go to NTU? wtf? "

Thats the common thought for most of the other cashiers who werent that close to him. AFter i got to know him better, he's actually a really nice person. Just that he looks and sometimes behaves like a typical beng. And he's in NTU!  Look where am i heading. hahs.

Here's what he said when i told him about the first impression he gave me

I said " eh, i though you sec 2 drop out. LOLS "
HE went " hahs. I told that to many others. Its not the appearance, its the heart that counts "

That sounds so true.

On another note, here's my own quote I came up with.

" Where ever you go, there'll be people who like you, love you, who really will be there for you when you need em.
There'll also be others who hate you damn right down to the core. Rather than associating with those who put you down and make your life miserable, GO and be with those who really appreciate you for who you really are =) "
