God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages…and birds loved man and cant resist temptations?

Theres a saying: begin with an end in mind. I learnt this today while taking part in the horseshoe pitching competition in White Sands Shopping Center just moments ago. Horseshoe pitching? Yes, it’s the first time Singapore Turf Club is crowning its official champion here. Often you hear billiard, darts, pool, golf competition, but nothing like that in Singapore. Basically, you just have to throw the heavy horseshoe and hook it in the pole which is about 6 metres away. If your horseshoe lands nearer to the pole than your competitor, you will also score points. I battled it out with all the uncles and was qualified into the finals.

theres a chinese saying: dui ren huan xi, bei ren liu lei (smile at others, heartache behind smiles). Sometimes you wanna have someone share with your sorrows, but theres something else. Ego or something else. So everytime you have to hide the truth and pretend to be strong in the forefront. this builds up and finally you think of giving up everything you have. Your life, your soul and yourself.

Got myself into a puddle of Dublin mudslide. Got myself into a mess, that is. (Dublin mudslide is name of an icecream flavour). A month ago, I got a job working in river valley in a pet restaurant, but was told only to start work at mid-may due to the renovation. since I wanted a job badly that time, I plainly agreed to them and signed a contract that states a huge sum to pay if I were to break it. as the matter of fact, i was unwilling to wait patiently for another 1 month plus. I wanted something temporary to fill me in during this period so I got myself a job at downtown east B&Js. During my interview with B&Js, I realized they wanted someone who can commit to the job for at least several months, so I blatantly lied that I could consent to that. Now, I got myself working in B&J and have to worry about how I could ever get that money to pay for the breach in contract in may. This time I got myself into big trouble because of a decision made in the spur of the moment. im seriously stressed up. I could worry less in other things right now then to figure how I could suppose to pay back with this kinda pay check.

a job. at last! its been close to 2 months since my graduation. i was left jobless and that close to being a junk to the society. i thought i was a liability to my parents. You know, taking money from parents and not doing anything to ease their burden. Although I did help out in the house chores, still, this is not a way of life for me.

The warehouse job 2 days ago was a complete erroneous choice ive made…stocktaking for 2 days…but luckily for me thats also the only period im staying there. Its a messy job man…nobody bothers to clean the place up I think…if you think that’s bad enough? I get to stare at few fat uncles all day long..and smelling their german gases. Those gases were also quite loud when expelled in an explosive action. Their asses sure stinks like hell…

Yes, mynahs, sparrows and other birds fly into my house. I mean just look at this poor thing that flew into my house today.
i see BIG windows but i just cant go out. :(
I think it was trying to look for something to improvise on building its nest.
I tried to show the bird the way out but it didn’t work. Instead, all hell broke lose and it flew all over the place, the sink, bathtubs and my room, and left behind his trail of stinking legacy. (shit)
so much for reciprocity, if it was a crow I would have already…
Anyway, the sparrow did give a new meaning to 'scare the shit out of you'.
Some peacocks flew by the other day and…
.
.
look, a man has got to improvise too right? (no animals were harm during the making of this post)
Moral of the story :'We, humans can learn something from this too. How helpless we are, like netted birds, when we are caught by desire!'
If you are ever in need to eat your dinner at a reasonable temperature, this is your chance!
I believe that some japanese inventor will make an upgrade of the fans to work with forks.
But think again, will you not feel tired to just finish the bowl of noodles?
You have to be willing to constantly improve because the moment you are happy 'work or life' you re actually dying.
i picked up something from a magazine today. it says
Most people think the constantly growing person or demanding person is unhappy, but theyre actually the happiest. People tend to shy away from that and make their world abit smaller. I hate that, and I hate the phrase mai hiam bey pai
(hokkien for its good if you re not greedy) because you really shouldn’t compromise yourself and stop growing.
horseshoe pitching looks like this. i think its a game for uncles omg.
To begin, its actually quite spontaneous how I get myself implicated in this fresh yet funny game. I was one of the spectators when I decided to register myself but was told registration was already close. Fortunately, one of the competitors decided to vanish and there I was, a registered player the very last minute and competiting with the rest of the pros. ok, only some are pros but obviously I was the youngest player and I have zero experience. Still I made it, kicking their asses soo hard. im quite proud of it actually!
one of my pitch in action. i look crappy somehow when im focused on something.
After making some careful observation how other players pitch, I figured how the game is played. Then like any other athletes before their game, I visualized myself making some throws, my body positions and stuff. During the actual game, I hooked the horseshoe to the pole one after the another like magic, eventually be the first scoring 21 points and win even before the reaching the maximum 20 pitches. Damn, it was a quick game.
sure i looked crappy while pitching but i kicked ass.
Ill be competiting the finals on the 13 may, 12pm, at Tiong Bahru Plaza. My eye is on the $2000 prize money. Please make this day available and show your support!
For the past 21 years of my life, I was brought up to think good guys are likeable. But now, I kinda believe that good guys are always the last behind the finishing line. So unfair. So should I be a asshole instead?
Is that honestly what you all want, if it is I think i will just cut my losses in the dating game and say f*** it because it is not worth having my heart broken everytime I begin to feel something. Not happening but thanks anyway.
The nasty truth is that it's a fact of life, we have those pains as a guide. They teach us what we are really looking for, and yes it's normally a hard lession. Love is bumpy road, it is never a smooth sailing as the fairy tales…
Oh just to remind girls, if you dont like us, say so, dont lead us up the path. Get this right once and for all. To shatter someones dream is a horrible thing to do. It will have a persons heart smashed into thousands of pieces a couple of times. The next thing you know, another person has turn cold-hearted and prob wont give a toss about anything, very much like zombies without any feelings.
The journey to look for a decent job has been tough. Heres how it has been for me - I got so fed up waiting for the job agencies and schools (applied for relief teaching) to call me up. Went for hundreds of interviews and was never got back. The DWONside about job agency is that they would call you a few times and then give up on you. plus, you have to be in some stupid contract.
then my plan b – look into the classified. Still, besides sales job and other ‘chap-pa-lang jobs’ most jobs required a full time and to be able to commit at least 2 months. Everytime I called, they would tell me, ‘ok, maybe you can come down first then we talk,ok?’ so see? no point. F*** la, you want me to come down then what for I call?! Call you still ask this ask that, then…
Anyhow, the plan C came, where I would walk-in myself and ask if they are hiring. My friend told me that I looked desperate but I thought it was better to just sit there and just whine that the world is unfair. So there, the aggressive mode, also very effective.
On Monday, I went downtown east and approached the Ben & Jerry’s staff and ask if they were hiring, and immediately, after some paperwork, I was hired. See? Tried and worked formula. For part-time and temp, don’t bother to call from the classified, man.
SHHIOK! My workplace is within 10mins of walking distance. Plus, after all that frantic search, naturally i dont have high expectations of my pay.
Its my first day today and I have so many things to commit to memory. One big problem that I have to deal with was to memorise the ice-cream names. If you have been to Ben & Jerry’s you know what I mean. Those ‘funky’ names pose a problem to me. I also have to take note of the ingredients so as to caution people with special conditions like nut allegies, milk allegies, alcohol allegies and whatever. er, kinda like a doctor I think. I have tasted all the flavours and I would recommend the Chocolate Fudge Brownie!
Now, if you excuse me, I have ice-cream to memorize.
ps: 17th april is our "free cone day". so come on down to get your free ice-cream!
Went to Hui Lin’s birthday ytd at sembawang park…almost lost my way there! I even have to lead the taxi uncle’s way there. It was my first time to have BBQ in that place. Ah.. truly a nice place to wind down after a hard day’s work. I didn’t expect your mum to know so much about me…she has seen my blog, my friendster and even heard about my mother (aunty if you are reading this, your fried bee hoon is fantastic)…I had a nice chat with her and found out…not much la. Haha.. Oh, your brother, swee chin, is a great conversationalist too. Hui Lin was a such great host on that day, she kept serving my sister and myself the bbq food, I enjoyed myself. So thanks. By the way, I just found out that Hui Lin has got a really good dress sense.
this picture was grabbed with permission of one person but i hope its fine with the other girl cos she could have a chance to appear in the dorence.blogspot.com. . .not everyone have their pictures posted here ok?......but... we dont know each other.
I made this card especially for you. It may have looked simple, but I spent a lot of time and effort designing this card and perfecting it. I hope you liked it cause its heart and soul work by dorence pte ltd. and maybe a suggestion to place it in your display cabinet or something..haha.
i am so bad with drawing but i can come up something i could be proud of. it says sixteen if read from top.
i know the words are not inline but i tried my best there with no stencil at all! i had to arrange the wordings so that the word sixteen can appear in the front page. . .almost forgot to fill in the name too.
May your 16th life be blessed with good health and lots of joy. Keep that cute and bubbly energy like you always have. See you soon someday!
ps: send me some pic cos i didnt take any on that day. thanks.
