ZZZZZzzzz.....

School has been wonderful so far. I manage to get at least 6-7 hours of sleep. This new semester of year 4 started right after national day. I was sick on national day, running high on fever so i slept my way through while the parade is being aired on tv.

So now, i'm checking heaps of emails. Hotmail, yahoo mail, gmail and school mail. These are enough to take away 1.5hours of my precious time.

Last week, as a studio, we went down to Ubi industrial area to look at the amount and type of industrial waste that they produce. Waste like metal bits are sold back to scrap metal collectors, who export them for recycling. It is very interesting to see how these waste metals look like.

The earth resources are finite especially when everyone juz buy, use and throw. How many would wonder what happen to the plastic Coke bottle when it goes to the litter bin? Or the piece of paper throw on the floor?

I do sort my waste paper and drink cans into separate plastic bags. As for plastic bottles, i do the same. Not everytime i throw away plastic bottles. I do my best not to buy bottle drinks and carry my own water bottle. If i have 1 or 2 plastic bottles like contact lens solution bottle or shampoo, i drop them in a bin at bugis. Quite a relieve to have a bin near my home. In Singapore, not everyone is environmentally responsible. The recycling bins here are in bad condition and are dirty. U will find plastic bag with chili sauce in them in the aluminium can bin. Tissue papers in the paper bin.

Wall-E's older brother?

Think about the piece of waste that you are about to throw away.

i got a series of weird dreams again...

last night i dreamt that i took a cab with someone to orchard. Halfway, the cab driver got tired either of us or what, got off e cab n left e meter running. I went over to the driver seat, got myself familar with the controls n started driving...




but most of u know i DON'T HAVE A DRIVING LICENSE.....

2nd part of e dream is very short. Dreamt tat my boss is in Potong Pasir constituency at a community event with other young MPs...




But my boss is in PAP...



Last week, i dreamt that my body become **** and got a hot guy as bf. One day he doesn't reply me or something, i went to look for him.

I sort of know where he is and called him. I approached a clothing shop and look for him... and i had eye contact with the shop owner, who is standing behind the cashier counting money.

He gave the face and eye gesture that he knows who i looking for and is in his shop.

The cashier/shop owner is Thomas Ong, mediacorp actor. @_@




























Okay, that's all for my fantasy dreams.

"very interesting... See how much the ClubMed guy gets...then the Law intern gets 320-500 while a intern at sakae sushi gets 1100. Heehee..."

Update yourself on the flu thingy that is going on...

Seems like the worse is from Butterfactory. Buttered up themselves badly. Biggest cluster of infection.

Adding on, legendary Michael Jackson has passed away from cardiac arrest and stopped breathing(shall not joke about his nose). He has been part of my growing up memories.

Another long awaited post. *wall of text ahead*

Oh man... i'm so lazy to blog! argh. So disappointed with myself. A forwarded email from my poly classmate triggered this post and i shall not make my readers bored!!!! YES!!! YOU ARE NOT BORED ANYMORE!!!

Ok. i better stop going bonkers and let u read this long 'poem' about relationship between man and woman and marriage. Kinda true for most of the parts. Shall leave my comments at the end of this lengthy chinese text.

以前提到结婚,想到「天长地久」;
现在提到结婚,想到「能撑多久」。
当初会结婚,说是「看上眼」;
后来会离婚,说是「看走眼」。
婚前,爱情是神话;
婚后,爱情是笑话。
男人花钱,是为了让女人高兴;
女人花钱,是因为男人让她不高兴。
嫁入「豪门」,要懂得理财;
嫁入「寒门」,要懂得生财。
以前的人,视婚姻生活为「一辈子」;
现代的人,视婚姻生活为「一阵子」。
婚前,男人在餐厅等女人;
婚后,女人在客厅等男人。
婚前,男人经常找女人「讨论」;
婚后,男人只告诉女人「结论」。
婚前,男人对她悄悄讲话;
婚后,男人对她大声讲话。
恋爱时,情话绵绵;
结婚后,谎话连连。
恋爱时的男人,喜欢「毛手毛脚」;
结婚后的男人,变成「没手没脚」。
婚前,情侣做什么都是「浪漫」;
婚后,夫妻做什么都是「浪费」。
想结婚,是自己已能独立;
想离婚,是子女已独立。
婚前的男人,大都很幽默;
婚后的男人,大都很沉默。
女人的记性,吵架时最好;
男人的耐性,结婚后最差。
恋爱时,一见面就「亲嘴」;
结婚后,一见面就「斗嘴」。
婚前,男人常给女人「空白支票」;
婚后,男人常给女人「空头支票」。
恋爱时,生活「妙不可言」;
结婚后,日子「苦不堪言」。
婚前,男人天天盯着女人;
婚后,女人天天盯着男人。
热恋时,总相许下辈子再结良缘;
结婚后,怀疑上辈子造作孽缘。
大男人,会「作威作福」;
好男人,会「作牛作马」。
婚前,「谎话」都是「情话」;
婚后,「情话」都是「废话」。
婚前,靠近一点;
婚后,闪开一点。
婚前,没话找话说;
婚后,有话也不说。
「成功」?对男人的定义是指能赚很多的钱,
对女人的定义是指能花很多的钱。
男人有钱就变坏,
女人变坏就有钱。
男人没有女人,耳根清净;
女人没有男人,居家干净。
男人「入错行」,上班会很痛苦;
女人「嫁错郎」,下班会很痛苦。
好女人,养坏男人的胃口;
坏女人,吊足男人的胃口??
婚前,男人像传令兵;
婚后,男人像指挥官。
失恋不见得是世界末日:
你的心也许会「泣血」,
你的荷包却可以不再「失血」。


世界好友周-人的一辈子

出生一张纸,开始一辈子;
毕业一张纸,奋斗一辈子;
Graduate 1 paper, fight for 1 lifetime
婚姻一张纸,折磨一辈子;
Marriage 1 paper, torture for 1 lifetime
做官一张纸, 斗争一辈子;
金钱一张纸,辛苦一辈子;
Money 1 paper, hardship for 1 lifetime
荣誉一张纸,虚名一辈子;
看病一张纸,痛苦一辈子;
悼词一张纸,了结一辈子;
淡化这些纸,明白一辈子;
Dissolve all these papers, understand one's life
忘了这些纸,快乐一辈子!
Forget all these papers, happy for life!

The ending of the poem talks about some matters in life that affect us for a life time. I shall translate the best i can out of my O'Level B3 chinese.
The person who wrote this poem either believe badly in marriage and have no hope in life. Although it seems kinda funny to read it, i prayed that the author will find love one day. The ending of the poem somehow show his way of forgetting/ getting over problems. Maybe the easy way out. What do you think about it? ^^

After exams, i've been playing this Restaurant City game on Facebook. Found some funny and cool restaurant layouts shown in this website. Enjoy.

Some interesting reads i found online while searching for images of some landscaping plants and these people are true-blue local talents. If you like nature, do check out Lazy Lizard tales. A very informative site on local floral and fauna, natural heritage.
This NUS student/graduate's writeup on lost islands of Singapore caught my attention too. A-student leh.... ^^

Dug out a photo i took last/last last year at Bugis. Albert Street considered a 'lost' street too?
Albert Street
Do check out some of the links i posted at the site of my blog. Really interesting and inspiring websites for bored people who got nothing to do. No kidding.
Furthermore(in a thick skin mode), please check out the nuffnag or advertlet advertisements on the top right column of my blog. I'm hoping to earn a bit of pocket money from blog traffic and I'm doing my best to entertain my dear readers. お願いします!
