Today was a tiring day. I travelled with Yihao to Woodlands to go to RP to pay for his school fees After that, we had lunch at RP. The western food he recommended was good except for the soggy fries, the rest of the food on the plate was great. We then headed off to Farrer Park to go Mustafa to source for phones of good pricing. (I am looking for one and sourcing for one of the Prism series phone by Nokia for my bro too). I guess I have not been to Mustafa for too long. I almost could not recognise the place and the Handphone Department was so hard to find since the counter was in the middle of the whole Jewelllery Department. =.=  Both of us explored the place going up and down, left and right, fro and back before we found the Handphone Department. >< I started my window-shopping, checking out the prices and finding out where to buy the Prism series phone.

To no avail for the Prism series phone but the window-shopping for phones was a good one. I managed to remember a few of the prices for the phones that comes with warranty. I am considering between the Nokia N5800, LG GW250 or the CJ W008. In terms of pricing, the CJ W008 woul be the best, coming in also with Wi-fi function and Java applications. The drawback would be the 1.3mp camera and the quality of the phone since it is not a well known brand, just that most outside phone shops has it showing up at their counter.( Not referring to the big branded shops like Starhub, M1 or Singtel.) The N5800 would rule with the 30fps video recorder and also the big touchscreen, however, this phone is the most expensive among the choices, reaching up to $400++ with warranty. For the GW250, the QWERTY keypad and the touchscreen function attracts me quite abit. Well, to put into words, with both keypads and touchscreen, there will always be a "backup keypad" should one of the either function of the phone stop working in any situation. The only drawback would be that it does not have the new Wi-Fi function in it which I am looking forward to try out. =/ The pricing, however, is still what I consider affordable compared to N5800 which the price is almost half a grand. >< So hard to decide ! I guess I will leave it to next week before I decide since I am only getting my pay next week. As this week and the first few days of next week is strictly booked for camp! =D Looking forward to it ! =)

Today I finally completed my enrollment !!! =D Woke up early in the morning to report at SP for my new student card and also laptop with mum, my uncle and grandma, plus Weiyang who came later on to meet us! The whole process took only one and a half hour whereby at 10.30am, I am already a free man ready to head out to play. ><

I met one of the guys from Ritz Carlton. I only had a mere greeting with him though before he left Room 4 when his configuration is done. I was too "suaku" looking at my own laptop, I forgot to chat with him. =x Ended up, he left without me noticing. ><

Following the configuration of my lappy comes fun time ! Weiyang and I headed to find Meiying and Freida in the SP roadshow area so that we have more people to play POOL ! It ended up with only Weiyang and I playing pool though.But we had fun doing stunts at the pool table. xD

I went to Orchard with Weiyang after the pool game to buy his laptop bag, only to find out that we missed the sale. It ended yesterday. >,< We went around to look for bags and slippers and also laptops before we start our journey to the west. xD The heavy downpour seems to only occur at the north side, leaving the west side dry for the day. It was a fun-filled day and I will probably end my post here for today since I need to go "suaku" more at my laptop.

Cya peeps~! =)

Edit: And to add on abit more. =)

As of now, Jo is a poor man le. T^T My uncle paid for laptop at the SP roadshow today but I am still gonna pay him back the money soon. Since well, it feels weird to owe your relative money. I am using my laptop and yet my uncle is paying for it. That does not sound right in my sense. Currently, the money in my bank won't be touched until further notice I guess. As for a new handphone, I guess I will reward my self when March ends and my bday follow suits in the coming April. Life will get interesting I guess with the two upcoming camps that I signed up for. =D FUN AND FRENZ !!!

Today was a huge loss. At this time, I was suppose to be at the grand ballroom working as a waiter instead of being at home blogging. The morning started out with me acting like a bear in hibernation. Dad and Mum could not get me of bed after 15 minutes of endless shaking and pulling. >< Mum, in the end, concludes that I may be sick since normally a sign of tiredness in me meant a pre-sickness symptom. She left me to sleep on and told Dad to bring me to the doctor later on since Dad is not working today. I woke up only to find myself totally late for work and Dad only to told me to wash up and have breakfast before we head to the doctor's. My mood was grumpy since missing out on a shift could meant $100++ money gone for today. =.= Jo, the poor man, just got poorer.

After breakfast, Dad and I headed to the clinic with only 10 other patients waiting, so it seems fine. However, we ended up waiting for more than 2 hours with more than 10+ patients going in before us. It turns out that the FUCKING NURSE at the counter was rearranging the order of patients going in to see the doctor. _|_ Some patients who she seems to know well and is on good terms with came in after us, only to see the doctor before us. A few other foreign workers who was there at the clinic before me was still waiting when my 2 hours wait ended and I have finish seeing the doctor and collecting the medicine. The counter had a call before we left with one nurse telling her caller (seems like their boss) to come in the afternoon since the clinic is full but was told by the SAME FUCKING NURSE to tell the boss to come right now would be fine. _|_ What a BEETCH!

The doctor's trip ended costing me $30++. =.= With this weeks' last shift on Friday, I probably would be taking a rest till for next week since I will be having camp soon.(if i go pay the camp fees. =x) The rest of the day was boring with me taking long nap and clearing my email inbox of FB's mails.

Now the current plan would be finishing enrollment on Monday and getting my laptop. Following that, I will be saving up and looking out for a new phone. I will probably buy one from my old workplace if prices in other places are not within my range. I will probably be buying a touch screen phone since I am a bad keypad user. =x I spoiled my LG phone keypad and now I would have to go Sim Lim Square to find a shop to fix my phone. The only worry I have is that my mobile may never be fixed since I heard that some phones that were fixed there had parts removed without the owner's knowledge and the phone just broke down after a few days' usage. There were cases appearing at my old workplace with foreign workers phone parts being taken out too after their visit to Sim Lim Square. If anyone had good deals to recommend me, please do so. I admit I am an idiot on such issues. ><

Now, I am considering whether to forgo CCA when I enter polytechnic and concentrate on just work and studies since there were some year 2 and 3 poly students who told me that CCA requires a lot of commitment for poly students. CCA may hinder my work and studies if not properly managed and working would be needed now since I am taking out money from my own pockets to reduce Dad and Mum's financial burdens, not saying that we are facing any difficulties. I just do not want to give my parents any pressure over my own expediture. That is all for today I guess.

Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite ! =)

Now, I have decided to end off the day with another post. Double postings !!! Yay~~!!! I am going to post on the wednesday outing. The peeps involved in this outing are wanyi, meiying, yiyun and weiyang. The day started off where my phone spoiled. I did not realise my phone had problems and I thought it was my sim card that had problems occurring. Then, I reached the meeting place with wanyi, meiying, and weiyang (including me. =x) being late. We met up platform and head towards Dhoby Ghaut to meet up with yiyun. We reached Dhoby Ghaut and went for lunch. Things went on smoothly except with me heating up on body temperature. My brain got tired and was hardly thinking straight. Even buying milo was a chore for me as I took the wrong cup. >< Everyone else was worried upon seeing this and asked me if I needed any help constantly. Thanks peeps ! =) (im fine now.)

So we went in for the movie, Kaiji, and had a good laugh with some heartstopping moments there too. After that, I bid farewell to the rest as I had matters at home and needs to reach home by 7pm and the long wait at the Starhub shop was boring everyone out. I told them to go ahead to Sentosa while I wait for the my turn to be served. ( I was not going to sentosa with the time constraint). So the rest left and told me to contact them if I happen to faint or anything else. I joked about though. =x My wait at the Starhub shop took over 40minutes I guess before I was served at the counter and within 10minutes, I was out of the shop with the news that my phone is SPOILED ! Sianz... Now I would need to get a new phone since my LG phone's keypad is spoiled too. == Anyone wants to get me an early birthday present ? It's coming in a month time anyway ! You can send through delivery as long as the phone reaches me, no need to go through the hassle to give in person. =x jkjk !

After the wait, I headed home in the crowded MRT with my heating body. The passengers beside me seems to feel it and stands further away, giving me more space. (That is a good news right ? =x) I reached home and took panadol before I slept. Dinner came in late with all the house chores left undone since my body was in pain and moving becomes hard work at that instance. I gathered stength to shower with warm water before heading to sofa to rest again till Dad coems home. I avoided body contacts with my family members so that they do not know that I am having a fever. (panic control here ! Not acting tough. =P ) xD I took panadol again later on and made it through the night with a almost recovered body the next day.

Now my post is too long, I will type out the rest next time if I remember or if I could be so long-winded. Good night peeps~! Sweet dreams~! =)

Ok, so yesterday I was the leader for my group in Grand Ballroom's event. I kind of hated to be a leader course there are too many things to take note. Well, my thinking ended up causing me to mess up. I was rushing about to prepare my stuffs for the event. Then, came this guy from my group. He WAS like an angel in disguise. He helped me out to collect other stuffs that I left out in my hurry.

In the end, when I started talking to him, he was rather unkind with his words. =.= He said, "Why don't you use more of your brains when you work ?" I wanted rebuke this guy but I thought, "hey man, I did screwed up." Ended up, I just stopped the conversation. He aggrovated me further more during the event when I asked him to help prepare the stuffs for the next course by saying it was unneccessary. D=< The next thing he said was that he knows what to do. It ended up, he did what he thinks is rather right. My instructions were ignored. >< _|_ Did not want to cause any trouble at work, therefore I left him to do his things. He commanded me and the other member to do things. He said to leave things to him will be fine as he even served the president, Mr S.R. Nathan and the prime minister, so therefore he knows what to do. I was fucked up but could not do much either. I felt like a coward but yeah, at least this guy here did not screw up. If he had screwed up while being so arrogant, I might have just kicked him while he is down just like cutting the thread when someone is hanging on it.

Yes, I admit I am evil. =x But sometimes people and things just make you mad. After the event, I still thanked him though. It is because of him that I managed to slack off during the event. So ya, that is about it for today I guess. Everyone will face problems at work I guess, what matters most is just do your best.

These two days have been quite boring with half of the newspaper reporting on Jack Neo's incident. Next, we have female readers feeling insulted and wanting Ah Nan of the Neo's family ( or some family whichever name that suits) to apologise to the females out there. Come on !!! Do these people have nothing better else to do than to add fuel to fire ? Ok, so it is an adultery case and some guy said some dumb stuffs and now the public wants all of them to apologise ?!

Next, I saw so many comments by people out there saying Jack Neo would not have made it without our locals' support. What is there to support if his films is not good ? These people got to admit that his films were funny and good, thus you would support, wouldn't you ? It is not as if you paid him for free~ You watched his film, so stop whining ok ? Thirdly, I do not get these people out there. What has his film got to do with his adultery ? =.= This is so brainless. How can our society be that critical of people when I do not see they themselves match up to much a standard ? You can hate the person for his crimes but why hate his films ? It is two different matters.

Ok, so I'm done random ranting for the day. ><

The weather is so warm nowadays... Drink more water peeps ! =D

Hi peeps !!! I AM BACK !!! After 1 month plus of not blogging and stuffs, I haveto come back AND... AND ...AND BLOG !!! *applause* LOL!

Ok, i will stop being lame. Basically from the start of last month til now, I have been working, going out and playing computer games, in short it is what I call No-Life !!! But many of us would think that when you do go out, it means that you are socialising, so why do I still call myself a No-Life ? It is because I do not do much meaningful stuffs when I head out to the big world. All I do is to find friends to go out and kill time cause being at home does not bring me much of so-called "happiness" since I do not do much at home either other than slacking and more slacking !!! I do not even exercise nowadays or head out for sports for quite some time already.

Days in JSS was fun and the lesson I look forward to the most is PE. All these joy stopped. JC students heading  into their next phrase in life while the Poly students are either out there working in society as part-timers till poly courses start or simply go out with friends to have some activities. For me, I am basically a a what they call a Tempo-worker. There are times when you have shifts while there are also times when you do not have shifts at all. Unstable incomes for me currently compare to before the times when I worked as a part-time phone seller at the ulu ulu place called Soon Lee. My current job at Ritz Carlton does not give me much of a job security. You could practically sit at home and not work at all for more than half of the week. Yes, you are offered a higher pay but at the same time, you are offered something which I call INSECURITY. By calculating my pay, I could be earning less than what I had during January. Probably will not even go past $900. That is how bad it is working in the hotel.

However, there are good sides to it too like knowing more about people from other countries and how independent foreign students are when they reach Singapore. Man... even you would feel ashamed when you compare yourself to them. Our actions would be so ludicrous in their eyes. Games ? Oh dear, no way. Foreign students are so much more sensible than us. Can anyone of us imagine ourselves staying abroad by yourself in a rented room (Not an apartment and is living with strangers) and looking out for yourself daily, doing your own chores, handle study and work at the same time without seeing your family in real life ?! These teenagers did it ! And guess what people... at our age, they are taking courses for degrees in Universities already.

And now let's head on to the point of learning more about their countries. Most of us knows that Singpore has good air defences with mostly 2nd-hand planes bought from other countries with strong military. Well, in Indonesia, their planes are the 1, 2, .... 5th HAND !!! They do have a large amount of military men though.Ok... I shall not elaborate too much here.

Now is time for the SLACKING moment !! Food section comes along with it !!! =D

I finding myself more zilian nowadays. xD Shots are quite blur though since my phone only got 1.3mp camera. T.T

The food photos should be better though.

The food section looks nice, right ? 

Now for the random section. xD

Photos of things I took randomly while there wasn't any guests. 

I will end my post at here for today. Nitez peeps !! =)
