Wake up. Shower. Breakfast. Work. Home. Computer. Sleep.
What a boring life. Waking up everyday in the morning, only to come home tired after work and nothing to do afterwards for the rest of the night. While I was thinking of what to do, I just ended up doing useless things in front of my computer, and before I knew it, the clock already shows half-past-twelve.
Man, I really envy those who has a boyfriend or a girlfriend. At least, if you have nothing to do, you have someone to call and someone to talk to. Simple questions such as "How was your day?", "What are you doing?" and "What are you thinking right now?" seems to be overused by many, but beauty lies in simplicity that just by hearing those question from someone you love seems to motivate you a lot, doesn't it? Well, I wouldn't know.
I am a person who enjoys doing stuff alone. Going to Orchard to have a nice walk, to go around the town to find good food, or to just take the bus to random places while listening to music. It's not like I don't enjoy people's company, but its just that I like to think a lot about my past, my present and my future so much, and being alone helps me to think about those stuff more clearly. But that does not mean that I don't like to hang out with friends. I mean, when I am around with friends, I often make jokes, laugh together and go to places to do many fun stuffs. Going to the movies, eating dinner together, sharing laughters by telling jokes; all these are certainly something I cannot live without. But hey, I don't know about you guys but don't you have days where you just want to be alone and think about stuff as long as you want without anyone disturbing you? For my case, I have those kind of days more than the number of days I would like to spend with my friends.
So far, I have no complaints for the past 20 years. I enjoyed whatever I did alone, and I was quite satisfied with the way I conducted my social life. It was always relaxing to take a comfortable stroll along a busy road, and I was always able to clear any stress that I had in my mind. I like to keep things in private, and by not letting it out, I used to feel a strange sense of achievement because I must have felt proud to be able to not depend on anyone for my feelings. But then, as I grew older, things started to change a little bit.
Have you ever found yourself wishing that there was someone there for you to talk about all the stuff that's in your mind? Have you ever longed for a person who you can talk about your day, your life and what goes on in your mind? Have you ever thought that it would be nice if there is someone that you can look forward to each day, every minute after you wake up and in every second of your life? Well, the "me" that used to think that I would be fine keeping things to myself, started to realise that life would be much better if I had someone special that I could talk to almost about anything I want to. I guess it's part of growing up, eh?
Human are not lonely being. Since the start of mankind, people surivived by staying together in a community, overcoming hardships as a group and celebrating joy and happiness as a big family. At least for my case, I started to understand the reason for the emptiness that I feel everytime I find myself with absolutely nothing to do at all. My heart that has been keeping everything inside is telling me that it is about time to find another heart to store all the things I have kept to myself into another place. I guess our heart is too small to handle all the problems that we encounter in our lives eh?
With that said, presently, I have not yet reached a stage where I am dying to have a girlfriend or anything. It's not like I am writing all this because I feel lonely, but more of a relfection of what is going through in my mind, and as long as I am able to keep my emotion in control, I have nothing to be worried about. But as the clock ticks and the days pass, I cannot say for sure if I could stay this way. Only time can tell I guess.
Till then, I will just have to continue living with this motto:
If yesterday was bad and today's worse, all I need to do is to make sure tomorrow will be a better day!

Time
Have you ever thought about what your life will be like, say 10 years from now?
I often wonder what kind of person I would be like 10 years down the road. On my way home from Clarke Quay on a bus while listening to my music, this question just popped out out of no where on my head, and to be honest, it caught me by a bit of a surprise.
Ten years... that seems a very long time in the future. I don't even know what my life is going to be like a year for now, not to mention ten years!
One of the first thing that I asked myself was whether I would be the same kind of person I am now. Looking back 10 years ago, to who I was as a 10 year old, I could clearly see the difference between me from back then and the me of now. Certainly, as compared to a 10 year old, I was far more matured, more outspoken, more intelligent, and far more independent. Then, I thought to myself, if 10 years can change a kid into an adult, how will the next ten year in my life change who I am currently?
One question followed after another: Where would I be? What kind of job would I have? Who would I be with? Where would my parents be? How much would I earn? What kind of person would I be?
Maybe I would live in a nice house. I would be earning enough money to live comfortably. I would spend my days working as something that I like, and spend my well deserved holiday travelling all over the world. I would have the woman of my dreams as my wife, and we would have kids in a great environment and a nice neighborhood. I would have all the...
and then, reality starts to sink in.
What if I don't live in a nice house? What if I don't earn enough money to live comfortably? What if I spend my days doing something I don't like, and spend my holiday looking for extra jobs because I don't earn enough? What if I never meet anyone in my life and I would die as a lonely old man?
True, 10 years is very far to the future, but after spending the spare time I had while sitting in the bus, I have soon realised that "time" is not something to be taken lightly of. We often hear people saying it, and we ourselves often say it to others, yet we never take it seriously.
If there was one saying that all of you guys must make sure that it sinks in your mind is that "Time waits for no one."
One year from now, you will never know what is going to happen to you. One year from now, there may be some unexpected events that will change your life forever. One year from now, you may or may not be the kind of person you are now. One year from now, the only certainty in the uncertain is that things will not be the same.
The kind of person you will be 10 years from now will be determined by the kind of person you choose to be for the next 10 years to come. In other words, whether you will be poor, you will be rich, you will be happy, you will be sad, you will live in a mansion, you will live under the bridge; no one but you have to choose your own path in life.
How many times have you found yourself thinking, "Only if I have done this last time.", "Only if I have asked her out that time.", "Only if I have studied more properly." or "Only if I had more determination in doing things." If you have said too much Only Ifs in your life, now would be a good time to start changing what you are doing, before you find yourself 10 years older but 10 steps behind. Would you rather spend your adulthood telling people your great achievements, or would you rather spend your days crying in despair because your life has been nothing but full of only-ifs and self-inflicted failures?
Grab the chance when it comes, never give up till its gone. Life is always a two-way split road and destiny changes with each path that you choose. Yes or No. I will do it or I won't do it. I can or I can't. It's all in your hands. If you keep avoiding what you know it's right, and keep choosing the wrong path knowing that you are doing something wrong, I would not even bother to imagine what you would be like 10 years from now.
Here. Now. At this moment, nothing is too late yet. Your future has not happened yet. Nothing has been determined yet. You are still who you are. You are ver much uncertain of your future, and this is exactly why you must be happy, because you still have the power to change what's to come. That is why, I have decided that I would now shape my own future and do my best to overcome anything that acts to bring me down.
Will I succeed?
I guess, I'll just have to wait 10 more years and read this post once again.

A week that went by too quickly...
End of the week is here yet again! That means only one thing: it's gonna be 5 more days of work before the next weekend... sigh... Good thing though, that I have only 2 weeks left in my internship! Yey!
Went to eat Sushi Tei on Friday with my friend and his girlfriend and it was quite crazy. Ordered so many stuff but they ate so little so I ended up finishing most of them. There goes my resolution to diet and eat less. haha.
On Saturday, after I came home from my piano lesson, I took my uncle, who was visiting from Indonesia, to walk around Vivo City! He wanted to see many things so it was quite tiring to take him around, but it was a quite enjoyable walk since it has also been a while since went there. At night, I went to play football with my friends at Kolam Ayer CC. Man, that place is darn far away. Took the 175 bus from West Coast Road and the journey took me around more than one hour! haha. Upon reaching there, it started to rain, and I was worried that I went there for nothing, but luckily, after half an hour, the rain stopped an we played till around 10pm. haha. first time playing football at night but it was fun!
After eating in Lavender, I decided to go home but I couldn't find a direct bus so I decided to just walk around in the area to see if there were any bus that goes directly to my house. Man, this was probably the dumbest thing I have done recently =_=. The thing was that I had no money in my wallet cause I have not gone to the ATM to withdraw, and I realised that I had no money left in my EZ Link card. And it was in Lavender! I mean, there weren't any POSB or DBS ATM nearby so I thought I cannot get some money for me to take a taxi. So I decided to walk for around 20 minutes to get to the nearest MRT station, which was Ferrer Park MRT. After topping up my EZ Link, I took the train to Harbor Front. This was the start of a loong night. haha.
Upon reaching at Harbor Front, I headed towards the bus interchange, hoping that I could catch the last 188 bus home. Upon reaching, I realised I just missed it by 15 minutes, so I decided to take a taxi home. However, I soon realised that I still had no money in my wallet so I decided to look for an ATM. First, I went to Harbor Front centre. However, when I reached there, the building was dark and no one was inside so I assumed it was closed already. Then, tried my luck at Vivo City. When I reached there, all the shops are closed, and there were only few people that were making their way out after watching movies in the cinema. I remembered that there was a POSB branch on the second floor near the annex connecting to the Harbor Front terminal so I made my way there, but when I got there, I realised that the ATM is on the Harbor Front side of the building, so there was a steel gate blocking my way. I decided to go to the third floor, then first floor, then finally basement, to look around an ATM but after walking around and around and around for 30 minutes, I still cannot find a DBS or POSB Atm (I even tried UOB and Standard Chartered ATM out of desperation. haha.)
My feet tired from playing football and with bruises between my legs from walking around too much, I decided to go back to Harbor Front centre to try my luck. This time, although the building was dark, I saw that the enterance is still opened so I decided to go in and look for the POSB branch. "Yes! Finally I can withdraw some money and go home!", I thought. Making my way through the dark, empty mall, I was really annoyed when I found out that the electricity to the ATM machines were all cut off so none of them were working. =_=... so I went out from the building, hoping that I could find an ATM soon.
Exiting the building, I saw a couple of guards talking to each other, so I approached them to ask for directions. They told me that there is another ATM at the back of some building and because I was tired, I didn't listen to their explanation properly and decided to walk towards what I thought was the right direction. Ended up going waaaaay off the place where I was supposed to go and I was walking around aimlessly for the next 30 minutes =_=... then my mom called me to ask me where I was and why I was not home yet. When I told her that I was still trying to find an ATM she laughed at me and said taht I could just use my ATM card to pay for the taxi ride. =_=" =_=.... =_=..........?!?! "OH YEAH I COULD DO THAT!" I shouted in my head. So I flagged a cab, got on, and went home feeling like an idiot. =_=
Had nothing to do today so I decided to take a walk around Orchard Road while listening to music. It was quite a refreshing walk on a Sunday afternoon while thinking about stuff that has been bothering me for the past week. Walked to Liang Court in Clarke Quay from Orchard to look around for Japanes food at the basement. Ended up eating the Rosu Katsu Curry and it didn't taste bad at all! Not as good as I expected but it was worth a try. haha. So with stomach full, heart refreshed and feeling happy, I made my way home on a bus 33 while listening to some nice songs from my handphone.

Just for those people who are curious about my background music. haha. Really like this song's melancholic tune, which gets me into a nostalgic mood and make me think about the past. This is a quite old song by Kome Kome Club and its titled Kimi Ga Iru Dake De.

Hello again!
Suddenly have the urge to start blogging again, so that means I would be updating this blog more regularly!
I guess the best way is to just catch up with what has been happening around me lately.
I am having a holiday now! Well not really a holiday because I am doing my internship at a suppy chain management company called HAVI Global Solutions. You know the BigMac packaging, Fillet-o-fish packaging and Happy Meals? My company make sure that McDonald's in the whole Asia Pacific Region gets all the required supplies for operation. Working is kinda fun, though. I have been put in charge of taking care of the Happy Meal Toys! Yey! My supervisor usually asks me to do presentations and data entries, but then when I get to play with the toys, it's kinda fun! (lol i must have had a deprived childhood) But one thing that I am quiittee unhappy about is their pay =_="... $600 dollars per month. That's like $3.33 per hour... EVEN WORKING IN MCDONALD'S GIVES YOU MORE! argh man they are so cheap haha... but it's ok I guess for the sake of experience.
I work for 5 days a week from 8 30 to 5 30, but on Tuesday and Thrusday, I normally go for my Japanese Lesson! Right after work, I would take the MRT from Jurong East MRT to Bugis MRT and from there walk for about 10 minutes to a language centre called JCSS (apparently its famous in Singapore.. haha..). Started taking this japanese lesson from about 1 year ago, and I have just started my Intermediate Level haha. Tsk, this great, charming, cool, kind Dodo managed to get 247/250 in his Elementary Level Examination and became the top student wahahaha (horny laugh). Well anyway, starting to learn difficult 漢字(kanji) now so it's getting more and more challenging. Wonder if I will be able to top it again this time.. haha..
My life has been quite normal so far - nothing extreamly happy happened nor anything depressing came across. But if I were to highlight some of the more memorable things that happened recently, was maybe the day I went to my friend's birthday.
This friend of mine is my high school friend and he was celebrating his 21st birthday. Man, the party was quite extravagant - he rented a cotton candy machine and there was a table full of pastries and deserts like chocolate fountain, brownies, etc. man so fattening haha.. He opened quite a lot of champagnes also, and some hard liquors, and you could probably guess it that everyone was kinda high as the night progresses. Well sure, with all the food and all the cheerful people in the party, I was glad I was there, but one thing that I was really really satisfied about being there, was that my high school crush came too to that party. haha..
Man, it's amazing how she still can make my heart beat so fast and make me act like a total idiot when I am talking to her haha. Apparently, she is also doing her internship in Singapore and she will be in the country till late August, so I guess *fingers crossed* I may have the chance to see her more this holiday. haha. Talked to her for quite a bit just to catch up on things, and it seems that she is doing pretty well in her university. Kinda glad I was able to see her laugh again, and I'll tell you that nothing can beat the smile of the person you like. hahaha. Meeting her kinda made me think of the past when I was in high school, especially how I was so shy to talk to her and also the time I tried to ask her out but failed miserably. hahaha. I used to just pretend to walk towards her direction and steal a glance or two when walk in front of her. lol those were the days eh? haha..
Well, its all in the past now and I am glad that I have such memories that I can just daydream about whenever I feel nostalgic or wanting to go back to the past. Even though seeing her make me really happy, I have already understood that the period of my life with her has been over 2 years ago, and if I keep turning my head to look to the past, I might trip over and screw up my future! ahaha. So thanks my crush! for the wonderful memories :) Besides, there's this girl that caught my eyes in my Japanese Class, but yeah, when the Girl is Right, Smile is Right, Personality is Right, it is often the case that Time is Wrong, and in my case this time, Time is indeed Wrong again... To tell you in more detail, this is how I found out Time is Wrong:
Me: "So how long have you been studying Japanese?"
Her:"About 6 months ago."
Me: "Cool, which class were you in before?"
Her:"Oh I was in (her teacher's name)'s class."
Me:"Oh I was in (my teacher's name)'s class."
Her:"Haha. So are you in University now?"
Me:" Yeah I am studying in SMU, quite close from here."
Her:"Oh I see."
Me: "How about you? You are still studying now?"
Her: "Yeah I just finished my JC."
Me: "Oh? That's cool. You are going to University?"
Her: "Yeah."
Me: "NUS? NTU? SMU?"
Her: "I am going overseas, to York in UK."
*sound of shattered glass in the background*

haha, oh well. Better luck next time I guess =D Keep searchin' and one day you will find it. lol. But it's better be soon! It's not like I am getting youger.. haha...
Hmm, I guess thats all that I am gonna write for now. Probably gonna write something again when I feel like it, probably not if I am too lazy. haha.. hope I'll this weekend would be great!
I guess the best way is to just catch up with what has been happening around me lately.
I am having a holiday now! Well not really a holiday because I am doing my internship at a suppy chain management company called HAVI Global Solutions. You know the BigMac packaging, Fillet-o-fish packaging and Happy Meals? My company make sure that McDonald's in the whole Asia Pacific Region gets all the required supplies for operation. Working is kinda fun, though. I have been put in charge of taking care of the Happy Meal Toys! Yey! My supervisor usually asks me to do presentations and data entries, but then when I get to play with the toys, it's kinda fun! (lol i must have had a deprived childhood) But one thing that I am quiittee unhappy about is their pay =_="... $600 dollars per month. That's like $3.33 per hour... EVEN WORKING IN MCDONALD'S GIVES YOU MORE! argh man they are so cheap haha... but it's ok I guess for the sake of experience.
I work for 5 days a week from 8 30 to 5 30, but on Tuesday and Thrusday, I normally go for my Japanese Lesson! Right after work, I would take the MRT from Jurong East MRT to Bugis MRT and from there walk for about 10 minutes to a language centre called JCSS (apparently its famous in Singapore.. haha..). Started taking this japanese lesson from about 1 year ago, and I have just started my Intermediate Level haha. Tsk, this great, charming, cool, kind Dodo managed to get 247/250 in his Elementary Level Examination and became the top student wahahaha (horny laugh). Well anyway, starting to learn difficult 漢字(kanji) now so it's getting more and more challenging. Wonder if I will be able to top it again this time.. haha..
My life has been quite normal so far - nothing extreamly happy happened nor anything depressing came across. But if I were to highlight some of the more memorable things that happened recently, was maybe the day I went to my friend's birthday.
This friend of mine is my high school friend and he was celebrating his 21st birthday. Man, the party was quite extravagant - he rented a cotton candy machine and there was a table full of pastries and deserts like chocolate fountain, brownies, etc. man so fattening haha.. He opened quite a lot of champagnes also, and some hard liquors, and you could probably guess it that everyone was kinda high as the night progresses. Well sure, with all the food and all the cheerful people in the party, I was glad I was there, but one thing that I was really really satisfied about being there, was that my high school crush came too to that party. haha..
Man, it's amazing how she still can make my heart beat so fast and make me act like a total idiot when I am talking to her haha. Apparently, she is also doing her internship in Singapore and she will be in the country till late August, so I guess *fingers crossed* I may have the chance to see her more this holiday. haha. Talked to her for quite a bit just to catch up on things, and it seems that she is doing pretty well in her university. Kinda glad I was able to see her laugh again, and I'll tell you that nothing can beat the smile of the person you like. hahaha. Meeting her kinda made me think of the past when I was in high school, especially how I was so shy to talk to her and also the time I tried to ask her out but failed miserably. hahaha. I used to just pretend to walk towards her direction and steal a glance or two when walk in front of her. lol those were the days eh? haha..
Well, its all in the past now and I am glad that I have such memories that I can just daydream about whenever I feel nostalgic or wanting to go back to the past. Even though seeing her make me really happy, I have already understood that the period of my life with her has been over 2 years ago, and if I keep turning my head to look to the past, I might trip over and screw up my future! ahaha. So thanks my crush! for the wonderful memories :) Besides, there's this girl that caught my eyes in my Japanese Class, but yeah, when the Girl is Right, Smile is Right, Personality is Right, it is often the case that Time is Wrong, and in my case this time, Time is indeed Wrong again... To tell you in more detail, this is how I found out Time is Wrong:
Me: "So how long have you been studying Japanese?"
Her:"About 6 months ago."
Me: "Cool, which class were you in before?"
Her:"Oh I was in (her teacher's name)'s class."
Me:"Oh I was in (my teacher's name)'s class."
Her:"Haha. So are you in University now?"
Me:" Yeah I am studying in SMU, quite close from here."
Her:"Oh I see."
Me: "How about you? You are still studying now?"
Her: "Yeah I just finished my JC."
Me: "Oh? That's cool. You are going to University?"
Her: "Yeah."
Me: "NUS? NTU? SMU?"
Her: "I am going overseas, to York in UK."
*sound of shattered glass in the background*
