The Confessions

So it has been twice now that people have told me that they have seen me on xtube, the first being some random guy on fuckrace and the other this morning on facebook and thankfully the second person was kind enough to direct me to the link. *hugs to you know who you are*

The first thoughts that came into my mind where, who the fuck decided to film me and why was I not paid?!

Thankfully on further examination of the video, I found that it was not me but don’t take my word for it, you be the judge.

Although, I have to admit that there are some scary similarities, he is Asian, so am I, he is 24 and I am 24. And we are both in Philly.

HOWEVER, I would 1) Never wear that tacky necklace.
2) Would never do free porn
3) If I were to do porn, the guy had better be fucking hot aka Brandon Lee.

Now that this video is firmly stuck in my mind for future reference, I wonder if I will see him around. :P

They say that proper organizing is important to life.
They say that a way to differentiate data is by using different colors
They also say that don't sleep too late (like 4am and wake up at 7am).
And they also say that don't rush, else mistakes may just occur....



Yesterday my colleague wanted to copy a drama series 宫心计 from my hard disk, which I left it at home. This morning half way in the elevator I figured that I have forgotten to bring the hard disk and quickly rush home to get it.
 
Right after I reached my office, coincidentally I met my colleague and took the hard disk out which was in a fake leather cover and hand over to him. Then i slowly walked over to my office table and prepare my day of work.

Right after I have browsed through some mails, and replying some mails, I received a call from my colleague.

D: Hey, I'm about to plug in the hard disk and copy the file.
Monster: Oh ok, external hard disk to external hard disk will take some time to copy.

D: Your hard disk so nice, RED in color.
Monster: Yah I have a few colors in fact...they came with a few colors.

D: I see.
Monster: Wait! Hold on! Did you just say RED?

D: Yes, red, why?
Monster: DON'T ever plug the hard disk, it has got virus!!!!!

D: No leh, it can detect, but there's only one folder called Brother.
Monster: Don't open it, very fatal virus, will kill your system. I'm coming right away!

I rushed over to his desk as fast as I could. By the time I reached his table, he was showing a shock expression and I was puzzled but still remained my calm.

Monster: Did you open the...
D: You...I almost....lucky i smart, didn't open the folder, else MIS will kill me.

Monster: (Phew) of course, quickly safely remove the hard disk now.
D: Here, next time please check properly before you pass it to me.

Monster: Of course I will, and if I ever pass you a RED hard disk, don't ever even plug it in.
D: For sure, I'm not so stupid to repeat the mistake again.

The root cause of this problem is due to the color of the cover, all were in black even though the hard disk can be distinguished by their individual color. I shall do some marking in all these hard disk cover....

Corrective Actions:
Hard Disk Color : Silver (Movies)
Hard Disk Cover: Paste a "S" at both side

Hard Disk Color : Blue (Drama)
Hard Disk Cover: Paste a "B" at both side

Hard Disk Color : PINK (Caucasian Brothers)
Hard Disk Cover : Paste a "P" at both side

Hard Disk Color : RED (Japanese Brothers)
Hard Disk Cover : Paste a "R" at both side

Hard Disk Color : WHITE (Brothers Movies/Drama)
Hard Disk Cover : Paste a "W" at both side

Hard Disk Color : Black (Spare to copy drama or movie for colleagues only)
Hard Disk Cover : Paste  "Colleague" at both Side

Among all of the free antivirus software we tested for our latest roundup, Panda Cloud Antivirus was the best app at blocking known malware.

The approach is intended to take advantage of the latest signatures without the need for signature-database updates–and if its excellent showing at detecting malware in AV-Test.org’s zoo of half a million samples is any indication, the approach works. Panda’s app produced an impressive 99.4 percent overall detection rate.

For now, we can’t give Panda’s app a complete score, but its impressive ability to detect malware makes it well worth keeping an eye on.

[Together with Meg, Terence & JL]

Did another 15km last weekend @ New Balance Run at the far east of Sg -- Changi Airport. Was much more prepared with my sunglasses to battle the scorching hot sun. But still kana beaten by the blazing heat that i gotta pour plain water over me to keep myself cool.


My number tag & Finisher medal...

One step closer to SSCM 09... Wish me luck!

You know during school days, organizing a chalet party or gather seems to be part of the school holiday activities. How about the experience of having a chalet with your family? Well last week I had one with my family and the experience, the difference was….

School Days

Need to fix and negotiate and debate a budget that is affordable.

Family

No budget!

School Days

One kukunathan has to get a few companies to go and book the chalet as if there's ghost or what.

Family

Brother: All under control.

Just like that, like some magic words and the next moment when you open your eyes, it's right in front of you.

School Days

"Each person are entitled with 3 chicken wings, 5 satay, 2 hot dogs, 1 plate fried bee hoon"; pathetic

Family

Lobster, live prawns, whole chicken, crabs, sotong balls, beef steak, pork chop, satay, sotong; eat until you lau sai

School Days

"I will go and kapok a bottle of Martell from my dad's cupboard. You all try to kapok some also leh."

Family

Red Wine, White Wine, Champagne, Martini, Whisky, Gin, Vodka, Brandy, Beer; like mini bar counter.

School Days

"After BBQ, we need to pull out the mattress, then all will sleep this direction, sleep in side way, so that all can fit in the bed."

Like Sardine!

Family

"Wen Guang you stay, we will all drive home and sleep."

School Days

Would relate some ghost stories and everyone will stay close together in fear that the ghost would haunt anyone of us.

THAT NIGHT

Alone in the chalet, I really wish a cute ghost came and haunt me

 

To be continued…

I asked one of my friend and client John if he was free to attend my grandpa's wake and it turned out that his family was gona help out in my grandpa's wake. Gah, small world.

Anyway John joined Great Eastern for a while, saying that "he wanted to help people". I was like fwah. He left a year later though, saying it was kinda stressful working in that agency. I wish I am as noble. I cant say that I just want to help people because I do get a commission from what I do. However, I can safely say that I'm protecting families and making sure people save and invest. And in Tenny's words, that'd be a "mutually beneficial contract/agreement". Hehe.

============

Grandpa was in the hospital for 3+mth, and the bills come up to $200+k. The older generation would never understand abt the need for insurance coverage to cover the bills and loss of income. Some of my friends and clients asked me about insuring their parents, only to have it rejected by their parents. I mean in the end, their children gona end up forking out more from their own pocket mar? Lagi more jalad right?

Ah Kong was much respected in the neighbourhood as he was often seeked for advice. Knowing the protocols for both weddings and funerals, he helped out (for free. gah.) in these matters.

While he was hospitalised, he arranged his own funeral, indicating that he want much pomp and fanfare. And much pomp and fanfare there was.

Rites and rituals were observed. Food was catered for the guests. A band and a singer, and cheng-nor cheng-nor (ppl who did the clangs and drums hehe) and a elaborately decorated lorry for the coffin etcetc were there too.


This was a portion of the funeral where taoist priests did their rites&rituals, and where women in white robes chant/sang to the gods.

I didnt have time to take the pictures of the rest of the funeral nor did I know if it was appropriate lar.

Much of the neighbourhood turned up for the funeral and the funeral procession was a long walk around the neighbourhood with the band and cheng-nor cheng-nor leading the "dragon car" (the heavily decorated lorry).

Word of the day: much

miao.

============

Since I like to wear comical/cute headgear for kicks,
it was a lil amusing donning on the ceremonial robe and headgear (hokkien: ba-la-ju).
Andrew puppet said dat I should have worn that for halloween,
and I volunteered to buy one for him the next halloween.

============

I, for one, had no idea what to do during a funeral. I never really asked anyone to attend my dad's wake when I was much younger cos' I was young+ignorant mar.

Not that there was much difference now. Now I'm just old+ignorant. Kekeke. It was only until friday evening that I smsed friends to pop by my grandpa's on sat since the cremation's on sun. Thanks for popping by, paying respect to my grandpa, and keeping me company (else grandma'd be nagging me to do this or that, and to kneel when guests come. gah. I tucked my huge ego in the freezer, leaving it at home and was most accomodating. whatever makes grandma happy.)

============

Melvyn dysfunctional asked if I was close to my grandpa and I replied saying I'm closer to grandma. My grandparents doted me a lot but grandpa was the disciplinarian, and grandma was the one who shielded me from everything. Hehe.

============

Peijing, my pri sch mate whom I've not met for 8 yrs came over. Minghao, another pri sch mate came on sunday after the wake, when no one's around :P

 

今天休假半天

刚刚才回办公室

上班的路途

遇上了一件趣事

巴士到达某站时

有位孕妇上了车

我正想把位子让给孕妇时

有位年迈的老伯二话不说

迅速站起身来把位子让了

我没继续舒服地坐着

反而再度站了起来对着老伯说

“老伯请坐。”

老伯突然抛了一句

“用不着，我还年轻！”

这诙谐有趣的一幕

逗得乘客笑不拢嘴

“我知道你年轻（年纪不轻），但我比你更年轻，你还是坐下吧。”

Some moment are memorable and last for a life time, while some moment equally memorable but you just wanted it to vanish in the air as fast as the speed of light.

Last saturday I was tasked to look after my nephew where I accompanied him to the WildWildWet at Downtown East. I've never been there before so I was a little excited too to try some of the stuff there. So we played the similar viking experience but except its with the rubber boat which was the best among the rest.

Then we tried the snake alike tunnel slide, one with the open concept while the other was enclosed like you are really in the snake body. 1st try we did the open concept where adopted the normal sitting position with the upper body lean backward as low as possible. 2nd attempt we took the open tunnel again and my nephew still following the safety i told him and did exactly the same as the first one. 3rd attempt we chose the enclosed snake tunnel and nephew still followed the same rule. For me, I was a little too ambitious, or maybe I just wanted to have some more excitement. The price of the excitement was....

No  i didn't drown especially at the end of the exit, there was this xmen alike life guard to ensure your safety, so it's quite impossible to drown. And neither was any part of my body hurt. Then what happened?

All right, so when the safety girl signalled me to move to the starting point right after my nephew have finished his attempt, i moved up slowly. This time round instead of adopting the usual normal position in this enclosed snake tunnel, I slided down with my arms first, exactly like a flying superman with nothing else but my red skimpy (as what hammie claimed previously) superhero swimming trunk. There wasn't any hystrical screaming, but the moment my full body touched the slide I shouted "Down down the way!"

It was dark inside, I was sliding to the left and to the right, but there was no fear, maybe I was used to travelling in the dark during army mission. When finally i saw faint light which eventually turned brighter and brighter, it was the moment where I would exist out of the snake body.

With a Woo-Hoo! I splashed out of the tunnel with the strong incoming water that hit part of my body and SHIT!! OH F**king SHIT!!!!

The holding ground pool was 1.2m height, and already I felt it when the water smashed me. I stayed low under the way adjusting, and half squatting instead of standing up.

"Sir, no worries, it did happen in some occassion, and take your time."

While my nephew who was waiting for me at the dry patch was laughing hysterically like there's no tomorrow and his comment also tickled the life guard to smile at my comical experience ...

"Shu Shu, it slipped out and your whole pi ku was exposed! So funny!"

That's really adding oil to the fire....

Important Note
DO NOT wear skimpy trunk to try such or similar stuff. Even if you do have to wear skimpy trunk, then DO NOT do stunt, caused hero die first, of course I didn't die, but perish in embarassment

Our findings suggest that being outdoors, rather than sport per se, may be the crucial factor," says Rose. The theory has since been backed up by a study of 1249 teenagers in Singapore, led by Seang-Mei Saw at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (British Journal of Ophthalmology, vol 93, p 997).

There's a 500-pound gorilla in the myopia research room, and it is the 3D structure of the eye
He points out that peripheral vision has largely been ignored when studying myopia, since we are much more conscious of a blurred image in the centre of the retina, the fovea, than at the edges of our vision. But in a series of experiments, Earl Smith at the University of Houston, Texas, found that if he fitted monkeys with lenses that blurred only their peripheral vision, they still became myopic (Vision Research, vol 49, p 2386).

The finding is supported by other studies, which had found that people are more likely to become myopic if their peripheral vision is slightly long-sighted. It seems the eyeball elongates to compensate for this error (see diagram). That's bad news for us myopes, since typical glasses and contact lenses tend to overcorrect the periphery of the eye, making it slightly long-sighted again and potentially triggering further elongation. That might be why myopia tends to progress over the years.
