下雨天

rainy nite after mid-autumn and one of my bmt buddy Ah Per wrote tis on his msn nick...

下雨天，阴暗、微寒。
单人房，阴寒、微暗。
听情歌，思醉、心愁。
想起她，心醉、思愁。

canteen 3 idol

yup i'm a frequent patron to canteen 3...

recently we found an idol in canteen 3... its none other than the uncle who sells drinks

guess those who frequent cant 3 will be overwhelmed by his over enthusiasm and customer service... whenever u pay for a drink, he will use his ever unique way to say thanks... "Xie Lerr!" guess tis is his trademark liaoz...

din really notice tis until 1 of my crappy fren mentiond abt his unique "Xie Lerr"... so 1 dae my tis fren decided to mimic his trademark thanks infront of the uncle... when the uncle thanked him for payin the drink my fren replied "Xie Lerr" back to the uncle... the uncle gave a lost n shocked look while my fren walked away... happy of his trick...

another funny incident tat my fren related was when he asked for "tei bing"... and the uncle replied quickly "na bing"... puzzled... my fren tried again... "tei bing"... yet the uncle replied "na bing"... my fren then said "no i want tei bing"... the uncle then explained to take the ice from the ice cooler usin a cup so he can pour "tei" into the cup to make "tei bing"...

na bing = take ice...

so do visit the canteen 3 iol when u chance upon ntu canteen 3... sometimes it do makes ur dae better from hearin his "Xie Lerr"!

being given = being taken

wat tis means...

when u are given something tat u dun really deserve or something u are not supposed to have... it usually means tat something tat u have now will be taken away from u...

ok i'll give an example... like when u buy 4d or toto and u struck the number... the prize money doesnt really belongs to u and the money is not tat u earned or deserved... in exchange of this prize money tats given 2 u... something tat u have mayb given away... like u may lose ur favourite belongin, or u may be faced with some upsets or be involved in an accident...

so sometimes when my parents bet on 4d and toto... i wish tat they wouldn't strike the number... so tat nuthing bad happens to them or such tat they would lose anything tat they cherish... errr of course i won't tell them straight in the face lah... if not they will say i curse them not to win...

haha not sure how true tis could b... sometimes i do bet too... the lure of money could b strong at times too... just a try of luck... but no big wins or far...

wonder if any1 has tis kind of experience... being given = being taken... if so do share... hopefully to gather more evidence... :P

wats wrong with being number 2?

watched tis video "Tuesdays with Morrie" durin my GE class last wk... its a true life story of tis successful sports journalist Mitch (forgot the surname) who started to visit his favourite college prof Morrie when Mitch heard Morrie was goin to die from a disease, 16 yrs after he graduated... thu his visits with morrie, he started to learn the meanin of life from his dieing prof...

"wats wrong with being number 2?" came morrie.... it was a phrase i caught durin the video which brought alot of thoughts... who in the world wants be number 2? i really wonder...

in our everydae life... we alwaes want to be Num-Bo 1... like boarding the MRT, quenuin for food, studyin for exams... every1 wants to be the first, be the best.. nobody would settle for number 2... number 1 seems the most enticing... even hawkers would say "No. 1 Laska in Sg!" who would put "No. 2 Laska in Sg... 2nd Best leh" on their sign boards...

so wats wrong with being number 2? actually no prob bah... its just how u and others perceive... if u gave in all ur effort ur definitely the best... no matter u are no 2 or no 3 in any event... wat matter most is the journey and the experience u gained durin the course of events... sometimes pple are just too engrossed with being No 1... that they have no time for themselves and for their loved ones... sometimes relationships are also destroyed in the process.... so wat if ur No 1 when nobody is ard to share it with? hmmm somehow the phrase "Wu Di Shi Ji Mo de" fits in perfectly here.... haha crap

ya i definitely recommend pple to watch the clip or read the book (i tink there is)... gives some other interestin thoughts to life in various aspects... so no matter wat u are strivin for in this period of time in ur life... hopefully u can learn to enjoy this journey and oso care for those pple who care abt u...

Num-Bo 2 anyone?

which floor are u staying?

Something interesting tat Huiqing sent me thu email....

being Humpty Dumpty...

humpty dumpty had a great fall...

fall num-bo 1:

ya i fell off a flight of steps at hall 6, near the Cafe... was goin to meet my fren at hall 6 for lunch after settling some biz at SRC... been rainin heavily the entire afternoon and the corridors were kinda wet and slippery. i cautioned myself and took smaller steps than usual when i approached the steps... but haiz... me still slipped and fell off the steps. wats worse was tat 2 gals were walking up the steps as i slipped... so malu... ah bish :( no help was offered my the gals either... ah bish ah bish

after effect: bruises on my lower back and a swollen left elbow...

fall num-bo 2:

left my room to get a drink... still rainin... corridor wet... okie walk cautiously... as i reached the end of the corridor i slipped again... luckily tis time i managed to grab hold of the ledges along the corridor...

after effect: get a new pair of slippers

no car... no money... but i've got heart

was visiting KC's hostel in nus...

if i'm not wrong its the old kent ridge or something... it was proposed to be demolished but somehow the plan was delayed and it was reopened for nus undergrads to stay... KC's hall was kinda like an the old army company line type of buildin... 4 storeys, U-shaped, a place for pple to assemble at the grd floor haha... brings back the memories... a much different feelin compared to my ntu "fish tank" hall...

so a few of our frens gathered and talked over food and drinks at the stone table at the grd floor. was sharin our hall experiences with KC whos new to hall life. it was late evenin and many hostelites were comin back to hall... the stone table was placed at a very strategic location where we could see the room and level in KC's block of those who just got back...

1 girl tat came back stole our attention of the evenin... she stayed 1 level above KC's room... being new to the hall, KC was still new to the pple ard... then i proposed an idea to KC to get to know tis gal...

"Ai Xin Zao Chan" tats wat i called it... make breakfast for her every mornin and place at her doorstep... haha... kinda crap but still worth a try... make nice sandwiches and slice them into heart shapes... add a heart shaped egg and slices of beacon... tat could score some points too... haha... then place them in nice cute lunch box with hello kitty designs on them... not forgettin ur secret admirer note... sure win ya :P

haha... personally nv tried tis b4 leh... thus the degree of success is unknown hor... guess nobody in hall could steal my attention bah... and oso dun tink i could get up so early to prepare "Ai Xin Zao Chan" aniwae...

no car no money... but if u are sincere and thoughtful... the sun will look nicer everydae... :)

something i wished for has came true...

haha... best... been bz the past few wks and was hoping tat time could slow down or pause for a moment... so many things to do in so little time...

got back to hall in the evenin and found the alarm clock dead... not workin... the min hand is tickin but is stayin at the same spot... not movin forward... bish... my wish came true... in a way lah... haha... dunnoe whether to laugh or b angry tat tml it won't help me to wake up on time for lesson...

hmmm mayb its just tryin to tell me to take a break and rest bah... dun over work myself... actually sometimes when u try to rush things... things turn out bad... when u place the time factor away... things turn out better as u are more focus on the job, more in the flow... rather than focusin on tryin to meet the time and stressin urself to perform...

guess i have to b carefully of wat i wish for nx time... wait "hao de bu ling, huai de ling"...

a cute and bored mom

had a great lunch with mom at home...

guess mom missed me so much tat she kept tokkin non-stop over lunch... i'm bz in sch... pa only comes home in the evenin and kor has moved out after he got married... guess tis made ma very bored at times... she started tokin abt tis housefly in the kitchen and how she try to get rid of it... makin comments on how smart she was at her attempts... i could only nod and nod... err ya shes good :P

sometimes i really find myself guilty of not being at home... i have my own pursuits to venture into... just have to find time bah... in the meantime hopefully can find stuff for my mom to spend her time and kill her boredom at home so i dun have to entertain her with her housefly or ants stories...

any activities for my mom do comment... thanx

when will i be able to be in a cinema to watch a movie?

its been a siong 2 wks...

overheard my fren's conversation wif his gf or fren over the phone yesterdae deciding on wat movie to watch later in the evening... "... i guess the terminal is better than the stupid snake show... but wait... the terminal screened liaoz?"... hmmm it got me tinkin when was the last time i went to a cinema to watch a movie? guess it was b4 the sch term started... sianz no life...

finally got to "book out" from hall yesterdae nite after shootin in sch... wow relieved... the feelin of bookin out from army camp was relived... feelin tired yet happy to go home... home to a nice bed and mom's good cocking. been bz trainin for last wkends competition... though i din perform to my expectation but the experience gained was good... proud tat the ntu team did well and managed to win most of the open class titles. tis wk came another headache when all labs din turn out well... stupid simulator din get wat i want... guess the simulator need to be badly stimulated by physical and drastic actions to work for me ya... crap piece of junk...

finally see the term break comin... hopefully i can recharge and no last minute n unexpected events to turn it into another bad wk... guess its oso time to scroll the phonebook and jio ppl out for movies and just have fun.
