Here we are in Jan 2009....

Every time I update my blog, I will always start with: It has been ages since I last updated my blog.

After 3 mths of inactivity, here you go....Ushering in the new year 2009, here in Singapore now, awaiting for enlistment. Yesterday evening, knowing that my friends were having a gathering in Adelaide, I made a long-distance call to Fuilin and utilising her phone to speak to everyone in the gathering. Glad to hear their voices once more...specially during this period of time when I am starting to miss every single one of my friends back there. Sounds sappy I know, and I hate to admit it.

We talked over the phone for quite a while....Then after the call, I started to reminisize all the recent events that had happened over my last few weeks in Adelaide.

Going down the memory lane....
(Feel free to read the trilogy titled: The Clock turns back, pictures were also uploaded!)

Ok, welcome back to Jan 2009, and 4 yrs in Adelaide has officially ended. Frm Bradford College to University of Adelaide. 8th Jan 2005, the day when I left my comfortable home in Singapore for an environment which was totally unfamilar to mi. This will be the day that will always be remembered. Cant imagine then a 17-year old young boy left for Aust. and returned as a 20-yr old uni graduate. I will say that MingChien was considered pre-mature then to study overseas, but for the past four yrs, he learned a lot of things from his friends and matured over this process.

Truthfully from his heart, he says to all of his friends 'It has been a wonderful four years, not bad, not bad at all!'

Now, bearing in mind that the challenges he will face in NS and also in turn working life, he will face them positively and with fervour optimism, pledging that any challenges will not weaken him but will further strengthen his resolve. And so, enough of studies for now, Bring on National Service!

The clock turns back III: Farewell Party 2008 and Graduation 2008 (Adelaide)

My dad came down to Adelaide on the 12th of December to attend my convocation on the 19th...But there was the Farewell party event the next day, with all of my coursemates and this time finally we could meet Tinyik after such a long time since the last gathering we have had. Went to Kbox after a dessert session at Pancake House and a few rounds of 'Mafia'...it was a much larger mass gathering than the last one in end-Nov.

(The 'characters' in Farewell Party 2008)


The guys @ the Party: Mi, Lincoln,Tinyik and Edwin


Ok, Tinyik wat was tt for? :D

Then there was this China song which happens to be both Edwin's and my favourite..titled Xiang Tian Jie Wu Bai Nian. We tried to sing it but the pitch of the song was so high that we couldnt hit the notes and being caught breathless. We ended up ROFL instead of singing it to the end.
We spent the night till 1 to 2.30am.

Enuff of the Party, then 6 days later was the day that had come after 20 yrs of patience and basic education: Uni Convocation 2008.



Lincoln, 'Ex-Health Minister, M'sia'


The 'Flower' Gang, lolx!

This is our moment!

After the ceremony and spending the last moments with coursemates, I joined my cousins and sister for a graduation lunch @ Ding Hao! Thx for the treat! Then followed by a lan game of CS, haha! Den off to Chiangwei, Yan and Kim's Convocation @ Adelaide Convention Centre.

It was a sweaty, busy day in Adelaide, travelling from Uni to Chinatown, den to the Convention Centre, indirectly moving around two different venues of convocation, having to cover a long distance.

Well, with the end of a busy day of attending convocations, my sis and I rushed back home for packing for the Gold Coast trip the next day, and Singapore (after the trip). I brought the 'whole room' of clothings and a few important books back, so all of you can imagine how heavy was my luggage? And so, there goes 19th Dec 2008; my last day in Adelaide.

(Will talk about Gold Coast another time) Back to the Present: Jan 2009!

The clock turns back II: Early-dec 2008 (Adelaide)

Auditing was a subject I dreaded the most, with me racking my brain throughout the 12-week semester over how to deal with this particular course in uni. The lecturer also proved himself as the most nothing-to-do person I have ever come across in uni history. He just failed so many of my friends for plagiarism with regards to our first Auditing Assignment.
One of my friens (anonymous) even went to the extent of shredding tears, which did not make mi feel gd eitherat that time.
And so on the 2nd of December, the final verdict of my eligibility to graduate lies on the outcome of Auditing. I went to the school lab to check my results with Devern. And here comes the defining moment, when I knew I passed the course of Auditing, I lied down on the floor of the school lab and screamed. It was just so emotional for me, and I wasnt able to contain it! After 20 yrs of education (both in Singapore and Australia), all the hard work had paid off. It wasnt just about the last 3 yrs of education, but also about the last 20.
So, with that our graduation celebration events commences, Hula came back to Adelaide, carrying the thought that she had to retake the Auditing paper. However, the lecturer passed her and her purpose of returning had been replaced with holidays and sightseeing of Rundle Mall in Adelaide haha!

With Fuilin and Hula at David Jones, enjoying Boost)

That happened after I had helped Shuning with her luggage as she returned from Melbourne (and wat a pity, u din bring back Crispy Creme from Mel?! waHaha). Then rushed off to meet Fuilin and Hula(mentioned), she subequently passed her Auditing and off we went to celebrate by walking around Rundle Mall. In fact, she was one of three fortunate pple that day who initially had to sit for sups, but passed in the end without the need of retaking.

On another event, went to this prominent Vietnamese restaurant (selling marvellous cold rolls) wif Kwong, Edwin and Hellen for dinner. The business was so good that there were a pack of people waiting at the counter for vacant seats. If my memory did not serve me wrong, we took 20 to 30 mins of our life waiting....


Wif Kwong and Edwin...
Kwong and Edwin then calculated that I was the one who ate the most number of cold rolls and the one with the fastest pace of consuming the ingredients...Kwong even dubbed mi as 'the no. 1 person whom he will not desire to be with when a famine breaks out' haha!

A closer shot...


(to be cont.)

The clock turns back I: 2 mths ago (Adelaide)

And we are back in end-Nov 2008!
This post-exam period (from end-Nov 2008 to Dec 2008) has proven itself to be the most hectic celebration period out of my entire tertiary life or even my entire studying life (from kindergarden till now).
Here comes the first page of the story....after the exams, we have to wait for a time when Tinyik was free to come out. Come to think of it, he is like a modern-day Cinderella. Finally that day came, so we drove to Spats to have desserts and who knew that we still were not contented with what we had enjoyed. Thus we went back to Chinatown to have supper at Ming's Steamboat.

Uni coursemates/ Bradford College friens, known them for 4 yrs: (from left to right: Fuilin, Hellen and Edwin)

And that was the first mass gathering after the exams, we had pretty much fun that day, the highlight of that outing was that Tinyik was bomb-blasted with so many qns regarding someone!!! Haha, and Hellen was such a great questioner/ interrogator, constantly putting our poor Tinyik on the spot. However, that was how fun was generated that night. The euphoria finally ended at 2am, with the two drivers (Edwin and mi) driving pple home.

Of course, celebrations did not stop there, during that period of time, usually during the weekdays, Edwin will jio mi to his house quite frequently to trade shows, this includes several HK dramas such as Jia Hao Yue Yuan, Tang Xing Fong Bao and Gem of Life. Throughout this celebration period, I hung out pretty much with Edwin and Hellen, for the several visits I had made to their house.

Yes, next, sumptuous lunches wif Edwin and Hellen, but this particular one was also wif John, sending him off as he was flying back to KL.

And here were the members of the lunch that day

Subsequent celebration events happened for the next few weeks, but that was basically what happened in end-Nov 2008.

Blog Raised From the Grave of Inactivity

Ages since I last submitted a blog entry, which was about 1 year ago. I just could not imagine the so-many things that had happened over that one-year which was not mentioned in this blog. Of course, things happened and many things changed over the past one year of the inactivity of this blog. It was only a few days ago when my friend and I were talking about random blogs and the option of updating my blog materialised at the back of my mind.

Also that one year also mean that my interest of blogging was worn out for the past one yr and thank goodness, it returned. And so, maybe to make my blog more interesting for readers, especially myself in future, I shall not only recount what I had done for the past period of time, but also include some thoughts on random things which can be valuable topics up for discussion.

All right since this is the new course of direction for my blog, hopefully this will inject 'vitality' into this blog.

The past one week marks the inception of the last four weeks of school b4 the start of SWOT VAC and the last exam period of my tertiary study. This past one week has overseen our Auditing mid-term test which was very tricky and also the submission of Options Assignment on CFDs. On the weekend, there was a mini-break for me after the stressful preparation for the test and the assignment. Without the break, my head can 'certainly' scatter into many fragments. Yesterday there was a Singapore Association dinner of handover, basically it was just another professional excuse of an opportunity to socialise with pple whom you are not familar with. Apparently the occasion ended at 11pm as everyone rushed back home to watch 'Eurotrip'. Of course, some of the interesting topics that was discussed throughout the dinner were European languages, and fond memories of our school days back in Singapore.

Was talking to this person seated to me about European languages, and apparently he is a French Eurasian. Thus we had this interesting discussion over French and German, particularly the nature of speaking in these two languages. These two languages are foreign languages in future should I have the opportunity to. Fancy the sentence structure and the command of the two languages. For all of your information, their sentence structures are somewhat similar to English. Of course, we also touched on a bit on the Greek language, which in my opinion, is another enriching aspect of the Western culture.

There are so many things I wanna master or take up. So many wants, but I also realise time is limited and so are the resources. Then come this saying I fully grasped by the end of my internship with MOF, 'Unlimted Wants, Scarce Resources'. Thus I also understand the significance of priortising our goals and objectives in life. What is most impt or least impt.

The next topic was the fond memories we had in our respective high schools in Singapore. The maths equations we used to fiddle with and the hilarious things which we did in school. For boys' school, I realised from my time there, was so fun, though it involved events that were mischievous and had to be referred to the Principal and Vice-P. One example was the prank-calling of a teacher's wife (some jokers actually searched the teacher's name and contact details through Yellow Page). Obviously tt teacher was most 'notorious' figure over the entire history of the school. Have you come across any teachers telling their students that he or she is 'a Doctor-teacher' and that they have to respect him? I certainly have.....

Running out of brain juices to go further, K till next time!

Dear Mr President

Putting the song title as my post title....I was looking thru the youtube website, I found out this PINK's song called Dear Mr President. With Pink questioning the political facts and the legitimacy on the war raging right now.

I was moved by thr tune and the lyrics, especially when they were showing all the pictures of the war and people suffering from poverty. I was very moved by the entire music video. So I should Bush this question, what have you done for the past 7 years? How are you going to answer to all American parents whose sons are in either dead in combat or still living under malaise situation. What I mean by malaise is the uneasiness when encountering bullets and engaging in patrol and battle. Sending in 21500 troops isnt a new strategy but shifting to a more diplomatic approach is then called a refreshing strategy of Iraq. You have made a mistake in the first place to wage this war and it is time to tell us how are you going to fix this problem.

A precedent I can think of is the Vietnam War, when Lyndon Johnson sent 500,000 troops to fight in Vietnam, thought the manpower for this war is only 20% of the amount in Vietnam. The amount is still enormous. If the situation is staying status quo, more and more innocent servicemen will be lost. Is this the outcome you want, with no objectives achieved or " MISSION FAILED" and also massive amount of casaulties. This involves the whole nation, the whole nation is at stake, and you have left the whole country a big mess.

What have you done for the past 7 yrs?

Anyway, the song lyrics for DEAR MR PRESIDENT by Pink:

Pink - Dear Mr. President Lyrics(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held highCan you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh
How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you

A 2-mth recap

Ok it's been 2 mths since I have last updated my blog or you can say ages....haha well, juz got back frm sg last night...it is a first time experience for arriving so late at any destination.....well, in sg, the period oversees the 10th year anniversary of the Asian Financial Crisis, 10th Anniversary of Handover of HK to China and the Live Earth Performances all around the globe....one thing i might have missed out: Release of the Last Book of Harry Potter.....Basically this trip back to sg can be considered as a fruitful, of course gain a deeper understanding of financial education....financial freedom.....thru seminars and shows, oh ya 40 years of NS, ok out of point....shld be in the sentence before....Met up wif haikiat, lormee, don, nd and davin, yuchian and xiaoting.....considerably many coz a lot of pple went in NS, especially kevin and tzepeng, helping out in the NDP, particularly no time to fork out on Sats....However, fortunately, I talked to them over the phone on occasional periods.....
Also, I have to say that this trip back to sg is more of meeting up wif relatives than with friends....met up wif my aunts and godmother, grandparents.....Glad to see that my grandpa is as healthy as before, I was most glad when I had the chance to go out with him to Bras Brasa to buy books....especially hearing that he has not been going anywhere since a few yrs ago.....With lots of assurance of the well-being of my family, I am so relieved now and back to begin my Sem 2.....juz as I have told pple about the significance of mi going back, it can mean a sense of accomplishment because it symbolises that you have completed one semester, half a yr is gone and another sem to go.....and then you cleared a year of uni study.....especially for year-end hols.....it symbolises that not only you have completed one sem, but also one yr of studies.....for this year-end, it can also mean that graduation will be within my grasps if i can do well in this sem....it will be as though it is telling you: 2nd year down, one more yr to go.....so this year-end will be the hols i realli looking forward to.....This winter vacation can be a fruitful but not as juicy as last year's.....well, but b4 anything is possible, I will need to pull thru the next two sems.....I will remain upbeat, given my track records....I will strive and work for the best.....
ok, i will sign off now cheers

As at this moment, i shld be doing some amendments for my BF assignment but i am not....Fortunately i officially finished brief 1 but not brief 3's amendments....after i submit my assignment, i shall have accounting method waiting for mi to complete (not onli tt, but also commence)....i juz hope sth can boost my morale to complete all these assignments....procastination and exhaustion have plagued my soul.....

cheers and nitez

I JUZ WANNA SAY IT IS GREAT BEING JUBILANT AGAIN!!!!!! coZ IT IS ALL OVER, MANCHESTER UNITED ARE NOW THE CHAMPIONS OF EPL!!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!

Ok, first entry after a major revamp....

yes i have changed my blogskin.....i presume to all readers, it looks much better....ok, i shall start whining abt my life so far here in adelaide....well, business finance assignment due on 10 may which might be two weeks later....i onli did abt 70 per cent of the appendix part for brief 3....and i am still dazed wif how to solve them.....yes, den also 4 days later the practice set for accounting method and a test soon....i am so nervous wif my time management (although i onli plan to get it organised, it is still in a big mess), it might appear to be flegling for amateurs(of time management)....
well, abruptly tot of some parts of wat happened at the chinese new year celebrations at my aunt's house.....my uncle and father saw eye to eye on most issues, every time they meet up, they will always tok abt politics and wat happens in the business world....u noe my dad, i rarely see him open his mouth at home.....my mum called it the sign of intellect....ok i have to agree wif tt....as i believe tt a quiet dog will bite but a noisy one wouldnt.....well, everytime my uncle and dad meet up, they can tok abt mostly anything they struck their mind.....hmmm yes, well, they persuaded to take up accounting degree......i mean they explain why they want me to study accounting.....den i rmb frm someone else's blog entry which talks abt being materialistic.....
ok, i have to admit that singaporean society is very materialistic....it isnt abt properties, being rich, it is abt the importance of having a degree frm prestigious unis....I have watched the film "Singapore dreaming" which showcases the society in singapore.....Well, i am not yearning to be rich; not passionate abt my name being printed in the Forbes list.....However, in this society, wif money, you cannot survive; just like the Mastercard ad, there are some things money cant buy....this is absolutely right.....
Frankly speaking when pple calls mi to get into business, my dad hopes tt i can be a financial controller of some corporation.....Yes, just like some wise man says, everyone is entitled to their own views. Well, in my opinion, i am not realli interested in that, but sth else....I juz feel i am not of business material....the strategy to make a company prosperous, or achieve healthy growth....i am not interested in those....Thank you guys for showing ur concern for my future but dun you worry, everything shld be planned for mi by now.....Ya making money, i am not in it....My cousin whom my uncle and dad tried to convince to study accounting when he gets into uni, sounded dismissive by saying "i am not interested in money"....
According to Poor Dad Rich Dad, no one is not interested in money...if not why are there people going to work? What do they work for? Ya....tt's it.....

exposure to the real world.....

ok, i shall reveal sth, during my time as an admin clerk in uob.....i realised tt everyone has been "reprimanded" in some ways, even mi myself......during the short period of time in uob, i wasnt quite used to the office life, totally an untrodden land to mi....where criticisms are in the air, meant for everyone....well, quite a gd starting ground for mi (a sneak preview of office life).....well, censoring the part of wat exactly happened...i juz said i came across this senior worker in the office hu happened to be veri kind, her name is jenny in her 50s or 60s, assist mi a lot in the face of the mountainous workload....she consoled mi, she did not want mi to have phobia upon hearing all these criticisms... well, i dunno y but maybe it was my first time or sth....
or is it? not realli used to being pointed fingers at....the idea of "nth to do wif mi and u are responsible and u are being accounted for", tis is sth i loathe....forgive mi for being harsh but tis is wat i tink.....i dunno, accountability.....everyone is accountable for their own actions, and make sure they all account for wat they did.....well, maybe to assure tt no one is perfect....not saying i commit sth in my life and you did not...i am not talking mistakes which are criminal....but common mistake which everyone is expected to commit....frm mistakes u learn.....oh tt senior told mi sth which i will always rmb which is accept opprobium and move on wif it.....i guess, i shld always bear tis in mind....tis is the real world.....
anyway, i watched the last episode of west wing on the tele, everyone juz say tt tis show can cure their insomina....i tot tis show is nice, though the fact tt tis show was meant for entertainment, my lecturer once exploit tis film to make it educational.....when my lecturer was introducing US politics to us, he let us watch a preview of the show....well, he does not stand alone....many pple did the same thing as him i believe.....
cheers, i tot i would have typed everything i thought of for this entry but in the end, it doesnt even hit 40 percent of it

If u wanna regret or repent, do it b4 it is too late.

Ya it has been a while since i last update this entry.....last tues, i received news abt my ah gong....but i deferred my calling back home....it wasnt until sat tt week till i get clear of wat eactly has happened to my grandpa/ah gong....his cancer has spreaded to the lower backbone....now he feels pain on his both legs and lower bone....whenever, he moves and stands. i felt guilty once i received tt sms frm my uncle regarding wat happen to ah gong.....i shld have called him earlier, i am not filial, i am supposed to be as his grandson....he treated us so well!!! he loved us, and played wif us since young.....i was having flashbacks at tt instant when i was at mclaren vale on sat....
#1: ah gong will always sit at the guest room which was next to the kitchen, looking at us while mi and my sis were still having lunch....with a buff on the cigarrete.....then once we finished lunch, we will run to sit on my ahgong's laps, mi on the left one, and my sis on the right....
#2: ah gong will always bring us out downstairs and buy us ice-creams.....even the uncle at the mamak (is tt rite) shop noes my ah gong as we visited tt shop so many times.....same goes to the lady boss at the minimart.....we were in high spirits once we got ice-creams and always enjoy ah gong's company....one of the things we looked forward then was the arrival of our grandparents at our house....
#3: ah gong drove my dad's car to the airport and fetched my dad....true, at first i felt sth was amiss, since tt's my dad's car, no one has ever touched the car except my dad....y ah gong can drive it? oh, ah gong was once a taxi driver....so cool....i have watched him drive twice.....i rmb tt time when ah gong drove my dad's car to the airport, tt was the last time i saw him touch the steering wheel....
#4: ah gong always sat down with us on the floor and played coins wif us....we will use the coins and let it spin on the floor....everytime when i wanna spin the coins, i will always tink of this.....i can still rmb the facial expression of my ah gong at tt time, smiling.....with spiky moustache and beard....always felt the spikiness when he kissed us on the cheek....
a stronger, slimmer ah gong years ago.....i will nv ever 4get the love he showered us wif.....if u ask mi wat values he taught mi, i will say this "Ai pin cai hui ying"....work hard and you will win.....i will nv 4 get tt as well....
though he do not play wif mi and my sis juz like yrs ago, we noe frm the bottom of our heart tt his love for us nv change.....i did not noe abt myself, my mindset at tt time....i tot all these are the rights i shld receive frm all my loved ones, of coz including my parents....Onli till sat, i realised tt i too was worried abt my ah gong's health as well.....till then i realised he always owns a place in my heart.....no one can replace him, sometimes i address pple as auntie uncle, ah-ma, but i have nv address someone as ahgong.....ya, the showering of love is not an entitlement, it is a privilege given to mi....shld not take things for granted.....
so i called my ah gong on sat nite, tok to him for a while.....i said to him sth i would have nv said to him.....sth materialized thru the process called emotional outburst, i said when i come back i want to c u stand and walk healthy in my presence, ah gong went "ok, deal".....u still have to see mi graduate, u still have to c ur great grandchildren, dun leave us!!!! everyone, my aunts and uncles, dad and mum, mi and my sis, want to see u belong to us.....everyone's ah gong.....fight on, not the time for u yet....NOT YET!!!!!
i am proud to be ur grandson, and as ur grandson, i will do everything to to keep u wif us....well, pray and pray and pray.....Heaven, grant us more time, i still have not done him proud and many things i have not done....
Lastly, to say "Ah gong, I have faith in you, everyone is doing their best for you!!!! Fight on and live on"...I will pray for you....cheers

A mind overloaded wif mixture of thoughts......

yes my mind is officially overloaded....i see this is the outcome of not updating my blog.....i realise tis blog provides mi a platform which i can pour out everything, juz like i confide in my confidant.....ok den yes, this week is piled up wif assignments, drving theory test and commitments.....yes i submitted my assignment, and i sat for the drving theory test....i made the last edition in the morning before i submit my assignment....wat i heard abt the assignment is tt if u fail tis assignment u fail the entire subject.....tis is sth worth astonished abt.....readers out there,it is beyond words to describe how i am panicking now.....but there is sth i wanna tok abt- an incident....tt happened two days ago....wat happened? we were discussing abt the second question of the assignment for the common law part.....mi, kinghan, tinyik, wutong were discussing.....arguing whether it is doctrine of ultra vires we shld be using or indoor management rule.....i can tell ya it was an inconclusive argument instead of typical discussion we always had....i tot at a split second, tis is an discussion not debating in parliament.....everyone held firm to their views of the situation and they argued pugnaciously......imagine how tense the atmosphere it can be if we were doing tis face-to-face.....well, wat is done cannot be undone....fingers crossed.....wat is it tt leaves an impression in my mind is the discussion we had over msn.....ya noe, either indoor management or doctrine of ultra vires......two options, but drawing a line between them seems to be so insurmountable.....Law? is there any correct or wrong answers? No, as long as u have the adequate evidence or approriate facts to prove ur stand, this answer is correct....wat i witnessed tt day was truly tense....being a spectator and not realli joining the convo, i have to say beyond words to describe......den the conclusion onli came the next day, my frien who took the other side finally "surrender".......is such contest ever going to appear again in future, in which i am the main part of it? nt sure, sometimes i juz question whether i have the faith to defeat my adversary in terms of the clash of ideas...maybe i might need some time to assimilate my facts and stand before i get myself involved......tt tense discussion certainly cast a shadow on mi....every time i tink abt comm law, i will always rmb tis.....maybe it will spell out how insurmountable u can ever get thru this sub.....
ok, after submitting my assignment, i went to take the drivers' theory test, certainly make urself a multi-tasker.....actually once last yr, i have tried studying two subjects concurrently.....i hate it when i always open msn messenger, the nokia advertisement always appear.....a pain in the neck.....well, back to the pt, exiting the multi-tasker topic for another topic, heart was thumping at the ot b4 i sat for the test, but woah, everything is over and wif a gd ending.....i passed it and at one go......
ok, den Young Master juz dunno wat is hardship.....in the westernised term, prince is used to describe pple like mi, while in mandarin, "da shao ye" is the term.....haha ok, the Prince a.k.a Young Master Ming Chien.....wanna go out there and find out wat exactly is hardship, i noe wat i shld do to achieve it....not at a young age anymore, need to get out there and noe the world haha...a few weeks ago, i came across this lady with tarot cards.....3 piles, 9 cards in each pile.....when it comes to choosing different inner voices starts to grow louder and louder, ur mind can be torn into 3 parts, which one to choose, in the end i used my gut feeling to choose the middle pile, and the cards, actually says i am beginning to manage my own life.....going out there independently hahaha.....ya it is time to acquire life experiences rather than cooping up either at home or in the small world which prevent us frm seeing wat the actual world is like? ya, the world is big haha.......cheers outta here

Liberated frm the world of mid-sem test for now.....

ok i am very delirious to declare that i have finished my bf mid-sem test.....in fact, i did not lament on tt 50-min when i was sitting for it.....james told mi not to study, it is still the same if u do study for it.....outcome is still a fail.....yesterday, the 3 wolves: mi, tinyik and kinghan....as usual went for the test and den lecture....kinghan, sticking to routine; sat somewhere else alone when sitting for tests. mi and tinyik, also sticking to routine; sitting together.....well, the test realli can hang someone instanteously if tt person have not taken any finance-related courses ever in his life....i can tell u tt....i was realli clueless of wat to do, though i do noe how to answer some questions in there....
i tot of naruto, when they were supposed to do the jounin test, sitting for the theory segment of the exam haha, the test was not meant to test how knowledgable u are, but test ur copying skills (how well-versed u r)....i believe it also applies to the test yesterday, pple peeping at other pple's work haha it's a sure thing.....

BLEACH!!!!! INTROPECTIVE ENTRY

yes, boring mi!!!! the youtube released the first half of the bleach episode 119....guess those bleach fans out there, will like to find out wat happen to Ikkaku after he released his bankai bah!!!!! i have to say his bankai is COOL!!!!! heard frm reno tt his BANKAI is second to only one person out of those hu noes how to release the second level of zanpoktu (did i get tt rite?).....well, upon watching the first half of episode 119, i sort of getting myself into deep sense of thought abt everything in general.....my thing in mind started to surface: wat am i searching for? How do I come abt having this thing in my mind?
You noe, i have commenced having these questions materialized in my head ever since i watched bleach episode 109....hmmm drooling over the idea....well, my review on tt particular episode: Kariya came frm a poor background....(shinigamis strived to eradicate all bountos, ran'tao saved him frm all these savages put up by the shinigamis, Kariya was a young boi then)....throughout his past, frm the moment he acquired bounto powers to the time he joined other bountos to go against Quincys.....he saw defeats and defeats and defeats, he saw failure all of the time....TT's y he wanna get more powerful....absorb living souls tt totally contravene the obligations set up by the founding BOuntos....he sought power to change his own fate, and wanna see himself as the Supreme being....He put his own fate before the race of Bounto....He wanna be seen as the most powerful being in the universe who lifted up the race of bounto....While Ichigo sought power to protect his friens, he sought for a turn of fate.....hmmm drooling over tt subtle distinction between these 2 terms....this is the answer to the common question mi and my "da-ge" wanting to seek....(not tt we are weird)....for those out there who watched this episode, shld noe kariya was defeated in the end....well, ichigo and co. then realised Fate is actually a big wheel (with us being the cogs) and not a line extending forward. Rukia asked "shld we resign ourselves to Fate or break free of it?" drooling over this distinction and trying to figure out my stance towards Fate and also bearing the same question Rukia asked....
Searching my purpose in life is something i might consider doing.....two yrs ago, i rmb watching this show depicting HanWudi (true recount, so history lovers i suggest u to watch this), he said to one of his generals, every generation has its own purpose in life....put it in my own words, authoring the line slightly, every people has its own purpose in life....And yes but, WAT IS TT PURPOSE? yes, wat is my purpose of living? Wat i wanna achieve in life, you noe....yes again, 2 yrs ago, NDP 2005, i rmb they asked many children regarding their aspirations....Then lastly, we came across this child (he said, "I want to be a Prime Minister!!!")....the crowd was scoffing over the idea.....in a realistic world, there will be a lot of pple doubting tis and tt.....even mi, yes, i have my own ambitions, everyone has it but depending on the ambition you have, for mine, pple doubt i can fulfil my dreams....i noe there are pple out there who have been doubted....Yes, as these doubts motivate u to prove them wrong, this fuels u to affirm your ambitions....A strong message to all: if u have an ambition but beyond doubt, go achieve it and nv let eveybody doubt u....if u dare to aspire, go for it, dare to strive hard for it!!!!
Yes, for mi i have set out to achieve tis dream since a long time.....recently i did sth i tot would be one of the best opportunities to achieve tis dream.....however, i might be feeling uneasy in terms of ethics and conscience....whether is it a right thing or a wrong thing i have done???? Racking my brain over tis question.....but i did tis out of selflessness.....i have clear conscience for tt.....well, a long entry abt life philosophy....felt better upon whining....shld be long enuff or else, i can help to cure pple having insomina lolx....all rite tata outta here
