言いたい…
We really ought to thank Yuting for planning all the class outings this December! Today she organized one to her place to play mahjong and go Chomp Chomp Food Center to have dinner. Haiz...speaking of mahjong, I can't play mahjong this year lor! I think I'm damn suay. Whenever I play, I sure lose money...I lost man tai to everyone at Weili's birthday because I xiao xiang gong. That set of tiles I got was fantastic lor! But I was overjoyed and forgot to bu hua and made my set of tiles became xiao xiang gong! Haiz...luckily, not many days of this year is left and I hope for better luck next year! 
Chomp! Chomp! And chomped!
Everyone...big and small?
Strangely, all the girls think I'm buffier now but then they say the sad truth is I'm still the same old me! Haiz...I'm still going to annoy the shit out of you guys man! *Evil grin* A leopard can never change its spots.

Last Friday of the Year!
samUel wants to say...
言いたい…
Today ah? I was supposed to go Johor to eat seafood and shop with a friend but in the end, that bugger woke up like at 7 pm? Argghh...nevermind lor! Have to thanks Aeron for letting me 'help' out in his bunk cleaning...actually I think I messed up more than I helped. Eh...and thanks Andrew and Jeffrey for accompanying me out on this lonely Friday night. I don't know why but lately I have been very moody. Anything small could easily pissed me and I ain't usually like that. Maybe I'm over worrying things... Oh yah! I was supposed to meet up with Benjamin to pierce our ears together but so sad Benjamin got his relief teaching job and he no longer wants to pierce his ear 'cos he wants to be a good role model to his students. Eh...I think I better not comment on that! Em... Got back my results for my first semester at school! I was rather stunned by it...not 'cos it's bad but it's unexpected. I didn't get A+ for Economics. I thought the paper was rather easy and every one told me it was hard. Thought I could do better than an A...and another unexpected one was Biomolecular Engineering. I screwed up Quiz 2 and exam badly 'cos of my ill preparation and I got an A+. Em...interesting! Overall, I'm darn happy with my own result 'cos I got 4.93 as my GPA! So damn happy! Treats...treats...treats...ah, I think I'm going crazy! Oh yah, I was at the Esplanade with Andrew and Jeffrey and we saw how they deco Marina Bay up for the countdown to the new year! Damn cool and pretty lor! So just couldn't help it but to take some pictures! 
Caution! I'm hot and I bet I really am!
Wow! So many buoys? Are there really so many boats to lead?
Spotlight-works display? So they are out of funds for fireworks display? Hmm...
Just in time to miss Jesus and his disciples...
Friends could be more important than you thought...love them well too!

Yuting came back from Australia and tomorrow Yenchui is leaving for UK. It seems like all my friends are flying all over the place for exchange programs. Yuting wanted to have a 'lil gathering before Yenchui leaves. So she organized this KTV cum talk cock session today. And I wasn't informed until yesterday! Thanks hor! My fault for not checking the class Yahoo! Group lor! But it's still great to see those great ex-classmates, like Wanyu, Chen En, Mingqi, Yuting and...the one I haven't seen since release of A Level results...Qiumei! Qiumei, you really have slimmed down a lot lor! And yah! The damn narcissistic me took a picture of my own reflection... 
Somehow, me just can't stop admiring myself...
The four big sky kings...
Hey you know who you are, don't get jealous okay? *Shit stirring*
That's what you see when you look into a Christmas ball...
...reunion!
Muggerified...

It's a Wet Christmas!
samUel wants to say...
言いたい…
Christmas eve was rainy. I was out at Orchard with a friend and I met a few others! But the rain spoiled the Christmasy feeling... 
Christmas at the Cathay...
...and Christmas at the Hereens...and where are the Bangladeshis?
Today I went to the temple to pray. I tiew chiam and I thought must as well get one of those chiam readers outside the temple to help me read the chiam since it's only 2 bucks to get it analyzed. That chiam reader I went to told me what this what that and gave me a whole bunch of joss papers to tell me to burn. After that, I asked him how much is the reading. And wah! He told me it's 36 bucks! I was totally stunned. Huh? 36 bucks. Fuck! So I told him I only had 10 bucks. He told my 10 bucks and took back most of those joss papers. He said 10 bucks I could only have this much...eh? A set of those papers outside probably costs him only around 50 cents and his value added them to 12 bucks? Eh? After that, he brought me to another guy who brought me to another temple to burn the paper and got a lady to chant some prayers for me. That lady asked for ang bao from me and asked me to give some money for lamp oil for the deities. Emm...wah! Need so much money ah? I told her I had no money! Too bad for her...seriously, these people are out there to knock as much money as possible from you. So next time, when you guys go temple, do take care. Today is my last day of work this year! As in for year 2006. And I would be serving a banquet for the last time as a waiter. So I thought must as well wear a better pair of leather shoes instead of my No. 3 leather shoes. And I did. I was out with them to the temple and Bugis Junction before going to work. And I didn't know the gum between the soles of the shoes and the leather had hardened and weakened. So, as I walked the soles came off and when I reached my work place, the whole soles came off...so I was left with only the leather covering. And there's nothing at the bottom except a piece of cloth. Haiz...as I walked in and out of the kitchen at the restaurant, my feet became totally soaked in those dirty water. Sian man! So suay even on my last day of work! This Christmas I got a lot of things for myself. I got a Crumpler bag. And there's a reason behind it 'cos I never like Crumpler 'cos I think it's seriously overpriced. I got contact lenses. And I'm going to get myself a new wallet to replace my torn Billabong one before New Year's Day. A Braun Buffel one! 
One pair of shoes...sliced...tops and bottoms!
Grey again...'cos it's simply my favorite color!
What's Christmas without joy?

Laborer Once More!
samUel wants to say...
言いたい…
I couldn't take the boredom at home doing nothing so I gave my agent at Recruit Express a call and zap...she called me on Tuesday afternoon straight away and told me she had an assignment at hand for me! Warehouse again but nevermind lah since could lose weight and could save on gym costs as well, why not? But frankly this job isn't as tough as in you don't have to move furniture; all you have to do is to pick out spare parts according to a picking list and pack them into cartons to be exported. Much like doing shopping whole day long...but comparatively, I prefer to work at with that furniture company 'cos as you travel from place to place to deliver furniture, you could sleep on the truck and get some rest. But here, this endless shopping is seriously sian! And luckily tomorrow's my last day with this company! Yay! 
My departmental store...
Nope! Not PCK's feet...those are my big safety boots!
OMG! That's the endless shopping list!
Oh yah! Me is very clumsy at work...yesterday while prepping a box for loading the spare parts I accidentally got myself cut by a big loosely hung staple on the carton. And today, me got cut by the fins of cooling parts of the fridge while packing them up onto the racks! Yesterday got my index finger cut, today my middle finger and I couldn't help but to wonder would I cut my ring finger tomorrow. Best is not! Things that are supposed to go wrong would go wrong.

Happy Happy Birthday to You!
samUel wants to say...
言いたい…
Tomorrow's the birthday of one of my best friends...I didn't know what to get him so was thinking of making his birthday special by baking him a cheesecake! I probed him and got to know that he likes strawberry cheesecake! But the freaky thing is to make a strawberry cheesecake, I need an oven! Shucks! 'Cos I don't have one! So Junlin really thanks for loaning your kitchen to me to make this cheesecake possible! 
Crusty crust!
Wow! Couple eggs!
...and more eggs!
Eww...what a gluey yummy mixture!
Strawberries waiting for their prosecution!
How come it doesn't rise?
Flattened cake? No worries, it's just a test cake!
Tadaa...yummilicious?
Hey man, if you are reading this post! Be grateful okay? I gave my virgin cake to you! Hope those who eat it tomorrow won't kenna diarrhea... The most expensive gifts are those that don't come with a price tag!

...Almost 9 Years of Friends!
samUel wants to say...
言いたい…
I woke up early damn early this morning 'cos of two reasons. One is 'cos I had a weird dream and second is today I was going to meet up with my lower secondary school buddies! Oh let's talk about the warped dream...I dreamt I scored straight As for all my first sem subjects! But! Yah, but except for Chemistry! I almost died...not 'cos I wasn't happy with the result in my dream but 'cos I have that thing for Chemistry and I did badly for it! I wouldn't really rest my mind the whole day 'cos that dream is really quite disturbing! 'Til now, we have no clue when the school is going to release our results but I really hope it'd be my best Christmas present... I took the NEL to Vivo City to meet my old friends, and I have this compulsive weird habit of walking to the head or the end of the train whenever I am commuting alone. I don't get why but it always happens and I wouldn't sit down on the NEL; most times, I'd just walk to the end of the train and look out as the train pulls out from each station...it just makes me feel good! Don't ask me why 'cos I really don't know! Maybe it's some psychological thing? Like I'm stuck in some situation which I'm dying to get out of...just maybe! 
Do you feel good seeing this sight?
It's always good to meet up with old friends...especially very good old friends! I will never forget those days we biah so hard together in school to be the top few in class! Still remember how other classmates used to call us the KSA (Kiasu Association)? And yah, if I don't remember wrongly, GQ is the president... Now, we hardly have the time to meet up with each other regularly but it's still good whenever we meet up, we always have things to chat about! School, relationship (for YC only), and work (for YC only again!)...always keep in touch okay guys? Friends forever! 
Big businessman, stop showing off your Dopod!
My yummy pork chop fried rice!
Argghh...that arm spoilt this picture!
Nothing special but I find that Chinese ship special!
...how funny they ask us to put the number display at the edge!
Friends for once, friends for forever!

It's All Your Fault!
samUel wants to say...
言いたい…
Finally today is my last day of work as a laborer with this furniture company! And goodbye to backache! But something annoying happened before I bidded goodbye to my colleagues... Today I was teamed with 2 other guys to help set up 3 TV consoles at the showroom! The consoles were MIC and the instructions that came with them were so vague and we really had no clue on how to assemble them! And through trial and error, we managed to erect one in 5 hours! Imagining going to a client's place and taking 5 hours to set up a console! The guys would be made a laughing stock man! But getting the seh, it became much easier to form up the remaining two consoles...the last one we assembled was the largest one so instead of sitting around watching them do the hard work, I tried to be nice and helped out. Oh, 'cos being helpful is just one of my traits! *Grin* And back to the story, yah, I accidentally placed a plank of wood the wrong way and no one noticed. After we did up the whole thing, the drawer tracks couldn't fit 'cos of the mistake and we had to pull apart the whole thing and reassemble. I won't deny it's my fault but it didn't take much work to correct it really...just flop the top panel yank the plank out and slot it in again! Then this guy said, "All because of you, we had to do so much more!" Stunned...I didn't know being helpful was wrong man! I didn't have to do nothing but to sit around 'cos my job is to follow the delivery man to assist in delivery and uhhum, instead of being appreciated, I was sarcastically criticized. Com'on, I fitted 5 drawers out of 6. That saved a lot of work man. Much more than required in correcting the error. Just felt so sian about it 'cos that guy had been quite nice to me all along! Haiz... 
Burnt!
Yesterday, after work, I went with one of my aunts to the supermarket to get stuff to bake a strawberry cheesecake for fun 'cos it seems like all my friends are into some kinda baking frenzy...but she didn't have the baking oven, so I had to make do with the toasting oven. But the sad reality was you couldn't control the temperature...so my cheesecake ended up: burnt! Nevermind, I'll try again soon! Real soon! Living in a world where everyone discredits everyone...

Vegetarian? Maybe Not...
samUel wants to say...
言いたい…
It's funny how all the laborers in this furniture store are vegetarians! The first lunch I had there was bought by one of them. And the dishes that came with the mixed dishes rice were stirred fried horn bean, caramel deep fried rice cracker and dried beancurd! OMG! I almost died 'cos the whole thing was so gross I was near to eating nothing! 'Cos I ate only the rice... Today, I accompanied a colleague to get his vegetarian lunch at this vegetarian food stall at the coffee shop opposite Great World City. There were fake charsiew, fake chinese sausage, fake ham, fake fried drumstick and all the fake meat stuff...how ironic huh? People go vegetarian 'cos they believe it's sinful to kill but isn't it funny how they satisfy their desire to eat meat by replacing with beancurd made fakes? I don't know and I just find it contradicting... White lies...simply oxymoronic!

Laborer Extreme
samUel wants to say...
言いたい…
Freak! I didn't know it's this hard to shift furniture! It's damn tiring and it's back breaking and the best part is I'm only earning 6 bucks for all the effort I put in! So interesting huh? When I was going clerical work the other time at SDSC, all I had to do is to run around and source for parts for OT control panel and call nurse system, I was paid 10 bucks an hour; and it was a job much easier than the one I'm doing now! Oh yah! I haven't described my current part time job! I'm a furniture delivery man. So I have to lug sofas and dining tables up stairs to the houses of customers! These are not cheap sofas and dining tables. These are sofas and dining tables made in Italy from high grade materials...see the chair below? Guess the price? It's freaking three thousand bucks! OMG right?! And yah the sofa sets I sent on my first day of work, which I think was Wednesday! One set was around forty thousand! Freaky, man! I started to wonder how much these people earn to afford such luxuries. Haiz...it's life you have to admit it! And the laborers carrying these stuff could never even earn close that that amount in 2 years! Well, aspiring huh? And hope to get rich someday huh? But these people could never afford the time to sit down and enjoy these expensive toys they buy. Maybe a simple life is also a bliss. 
Dining chair for the rich?
Oh, yesterday was the worst day of my life! Or at least I think so! From morning 8 'til 5, I was oustide all around Singapore delivering furniture and after that from 7 to 11.30, I was outside at a hotel working as a banquet waiter! My back is seriously badly aching now and I only earned about 70 bucks! Money is seriously hard earned...haiz! Better not complain and get on with life 'cos life is simply too short so don't waste time on procrastinating! Money and time - the ultimate juggling act!

Christmas Present for Myself
samUel wants to say...
言いたい…
Wow! Guess what?! I ditched the crappy W800i and got my new N73! Seriously, it's fantastic and no phone is that great looking and yet that sophisticatedly simple! I'm just so elated now! But it's not user friendly 'cos it took me quite a while to figure out how to keypad lock it and 'til now, I haven't gotten rid of the ugly operator logo! Pissed! I'm quite an idiot right? Spent $98 on it when I'm tight on money and now I have to psycho myself to tell myself it's all worth it. Maybe it really is 'cos my W800i kept turning itself off in the middle of conversations and it's really ticking me off and the handsfree set wasn't working and a new set costs $68. So, let's just put it this way: it's a Christmas present for myself! Oh yah! I've found a job! Finally! But it's only for a week! To be some warehouse guy carrying furniture around! Bad! But let's hope it'd be a good experience since I've never done this kinda job before! Oh yah! I was a damn retard when going down to sign the contract with the agent who found me the job. She told me she needed something to show my bank account number and I thought the easiest way would be to go get some money and show her the withdrawal receipt. So I withdrew some money. And I threw the receipt away unknowingly! Argghh bloody retarded right? Haiz...I'm getting more and more cranky these days! And to illustrate that: I really smiled at my new phone the whole day! Foolish people are the sweetest people because they don't harbor evil thought!

It's been a long long time since I last posted; I think it was about a year ago since I last blogged! Sorry 'cos I really haven't got the time to blog! Now, this is a new blog and I really hope to dedicate some time of each day to put the great experience of each and every day! Look carefully and you'll soon discover each day is different!
