a bit about work... ^_^
Let me tell you a bit about my part-time job.
It's at this backpackers' hostel called The Hive. Anyway, my job here is to do CLEANING! So I basically, for 6 hours, become SUPER HOUSE HUSBAND! I iron, fold, sweep, mop, scrub, scour, wipe, polish, rinse, (feel free to insert more verbs related to dosmesticated cleaning in this space) etc.
It's not a particularly difficult job, and it's pretty fun doing everything. One thing that puzzles me to this day, is the fact that everyone who sees me working (and in this , I mean, the other members of staff at The Hive i.e. the other Echo Wings instructors and officers), all ask me why I clean SO HARD!
I look at them with a frown, and ask back, "Isn't this how cleaning is supposed toi be done?"
They will then answer and say, "Don't need to clean so hard wan lah...."
========================================================================
Well, I guess it's just in my nature to be thorough about these things, especially since I am being paid to do this job. Now, if only I can transfer my impeccability onto other things...hahaha...
This week has been a bad week for me...Because my desktop is back online, I've been playing Guild Wars non-stop! I just find it so fun, and the fact that I don't have to pay a monthly subscription is SUPER SWEET! Hahaha...Ah well, Hope the novelty of it all will die down soon....I have a lot of projects and stuff due soon...
Until then, I will still kill more dragons and sand giants...haha

a moment of insanity
Xing Jian -- [noun]: A person who likes to steal tins of tuna 'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com |
I know, I know...I have a problem...BIG WHOOP!
So what if I like to steal tins of tuna?! I pretty darn good at it too! Humph!
These tins of tuna need to be returned to the sea where they rightfully belong! We humans have no business dredging 'em outta the ocean and consuming 'em like we needed to eat fish! We can go eat some other useless fish...like clown fish or something...
'Em cans of tuna are not going to be staying on 'em shelves as long as I'm around...y'all mark mine words, I tell ya...'em tuna cans...just you wait and see...
'Em freakin' tuna cans!

fabulous Tuesday!
Today was a totally 'i-had-such-a-blast' day!
Let's see, my friend Ruifeng came over in the morning to help me to fine tune my desktop...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really owe you a treat ok? Must must...serious! Thanks to him, I now have two monitors linked to my desktop! It really is pretty cool, being able to surf the Net on one screen, and MSN on the other...My real favourite is watching anime on one, and everything else on the other! Hah!
Granted, the two monitors are different colours, and the sizes are a little off...but then again, how many people actually have two monitors to play with?! Haha...the white monitor was the old one, and the black one was bought from Vincent.

In GuildWars, I killed some powerful dragon! too! She's called Glint I think...not too shabby eh? She's supposed to be super-hard, and it's true...I died the first time I tried tackling her...but the second team I was with was quite good...so we managed to persevere and put and end to her misery...
Tuition today was super fun too! I went through with Ching Hao his work...he's improving I think...and that's quite fast for a kid who only just came from Taiwan in the middle of last year. After I was done, we played Yu-gi-oh together...he owned me man...
I only won one game out of three...his deck is pretty good man...to be honest, it really is quite brainless...luck is a super high factor in Yu-gi-oh...bad opening hands are really punished...haha...suddenly tempted to do abit more building for Yu-gi-oh...hmm..should I? We'll see, we'll see...hahaha.

太开心了！！！
This is excellent! My desktop is finally back online, and I now can use a nice and big computer! Hahaha...everything is just fine and dandy. I am so excited, that I'm still awake...just played abit of GuildWars...haha...
Lucky, this week is mid-term break...so I don't have any school to attend...whew.
Anyway, my 'DEAREST' cousin, Benjamin, did not help me to plug all the relevant cables back into their respective places, causing my computer to not be able to start up...and here I thought it was because of the turning on/off of the computer that caused the OS to become corrupted! BAH! Benjamin kor-kor, it's all your fault! Lucky I called my friend, and he asked me to check all the connections again, if not I would never have known that it was because of the disconnected cables, that caused everything to NOT WORK!
(next time, please tell me what you are doing to my computer okay?!?!?!)
==================================================================================
I watched Brokeback Mountain with Kit Loong and Aloysius just now...even though it was my second time watching, I still felt the emotion pretty strongly. Also, I cannot, for the life of me, understand why people laugh when they see two guys fucking...I mean, granted you don't see everyday, but is it really that funny?! Also, when they are caught kissing by one of their wives, is that funny?!?! I would think that it would be a moment of suspense, as their secret, forbidden love each other had been found out! Freaking Singaporeans, so close-minded, and happily showing off how ignorant they can be...absolutely annoying...humph!
==================================================================================
I think I'd bettergo and get some sleep...if not, confirm concuss until don't know what time...hahaha...good night (I mean, morning!)

projects and term papers...
Next week is the mid-term break. I guess I didn't really expect it to be so soon...really lor...
I mean, it's been awhile, and with CNY and all, it really seems too soon for a mid-term break. I'm having this phase at the moment...it's the 'i-don't-feel-like-doing-anything' phase. A lot of inertia is present, and I just can't seem to move at all...it sure is irritating man...wargh!
A lot of people are feeling this way as well...I wonder what is the reason for this is...hmm...
Anyway, now having dinner with Vincent and Aiman in the canteen. Tonight I will be studying, and preparing for my tutorial in the morning...marketing tutorial leh...I think it's really annoying that we have yet to have our first meeting leh...how ah? Got presentation to prepare for leh...25% somemore...haiz....
We were supposed to go and watch Memoirs of a Geisha, but the only show was at 920pm, at Tiong Bahru GV. Cannot lah...no go...hahaha
I will send my PC for repairs this coming week...Vincent somemore say "IF you do, that would be good..." Humph, he's poking at my procrastination leh...jialat...I've been saying that I would fix it for 2 months liao...
I will do it lah...I miss my computer man...so long never play GuildWars liao...hahaha

just say lah....haiz...
Been a long while since I posted anything...
Well, just wanted to voice a thought...
If you got anything you really wanna say to anybody...just say it. Don't so scared ok? It's just that I realised that I am really annoyed by people who are wishy-washy about things...I mean, if you have something to ask/say, just do it! If you are not willing to do so, then don't even HINT that you have an opinion...it's just annoying, and very bad for relationships.
The main things that destroy relationships, are always the THINGS that are left UNSAID.
Yeah...

Huo Yuanjia (FEARLESS)
Just watched Huo Yuanjia just now with Vincent, Aiman, Pang Boon and Jason (hope I got his name right...quiet guy..at least for tonight lah).
It was EXCELLENT!
Been such a long time since I'd watched a good kungfu show! I'm so glad Jet Li decided to do this show! I mean, compared to all the previous Hollywood crap that he starred in, this show brought him back to his original roots as a Chinese wushu exponent! I mean, seeing him with his pigtail, and the Chinese robes with the Mandarin collars just reminds me for his Wong Fei Hong, Fang Shi Yu days!
He really acted really well, and portrayed the character of Huo Yuanjia really well! From reckless, only-concerned-with-becoming-the-best-in-Tianjin, to a calm, composed wushu practitioner in the end...Jet Li did it all very well.
I loved the bone-crunching (and this I mean LITERALLY) action, and the cool weapon fighting scenes (reminded me of my Soul Caliber 3)! Definitely money well-spent...everyone should go and catch it too! Don't miss it ok? No matter what the reviews say...if you like a good kungfu flick, this is about as good as it gets! I mean, not Jackie Chan, comical kungfu, but TRUE Jet Li (李连杰) style fighting! Absolutely riveting!
I enjoyed my Chinese New Year this year...spent some time with new friends, and gambled a bit, and actually won a little...so not that bad lor. Haha...still believe that I should not gamble...just not cut out for it lah...did enjoy my mahjong game though...won $7. Haha...small win, small win...
I really should get to sleep now...tomorrow must get to Aunt May's place for lunch...think I confirm will be late...hahaha..
Night!

my colour
Xing Jian, your true color is Orange!
You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.
Hmm...okay lor...sorta correct I guess...

lectures were a blast today!
Today I had two lectures, and both were excellent!
GEK1049 - Introduction to Narrative
Hmm, what I thought would be a very Lit-ish module, is turning out to be more than that. We started the lecture with movie clips, music videos, classical paintings, pop songs and not forgetting the usual spattering of pompous terminology that the world of academia is famous for.
I was a little late for the lecture (5 mins), but it looks to be pretty interesting I think...I hope I get a ton of non-FASS classmates, so that can stand out abit... (yes yes, evil and pragmatic..but I couldn't care less)
6 hour break
Spent it having lunch, and trying to read my readings...not that successful, which is why I will be making up for it tmr...studying late in school tmr night! ^_^ Made a new friend before my 4pm lecture...a cute and bubbly girl called Lai Yee. Nice to meet you Lai Yee!
SC2212 - Sociology of Deviance
This was a little embarrassing. I made Vi and Lai Yee walk all the way to LT8, when it was actually in LT9...felt so bad..and because we made such a long detour, we ended up sitting right up in front.
Fortunately, after excessive rubbing in about how silly I was from Lai Yee (she can be unforgiving, and I'd only JUST met this woman ok?), it turns out that our lecturer has no tolerance for technology, and will not be utilising the IVLE at all! He insists on lecture with no PowerPoint, and we as students will have to LISTEN and TAKE NOTES! Talk about old school sia...after he announced this...Darren grudingly took out his foolscap pad...hahaha
Well, Vi was thrilled, and Lai Yee was sorta glad (after a some convincing from me) she sat in front, cos' then she wouldn't fall asleep...haha...it was refreshing to challeng myself from stoning, and practising picking out all the important points. Been a long while since I last did that...heh
He drones a little, but generally he makes very pointed, and pertinent comments about our country, and the world in general. Highly entertaining, but not recommended for people with minds the size of pin heads or minds so narrow that Kate Moss wouldn't fit inside.
Tuition at Central Green
Started a new tuition assignment at Central Green condo! So NEAR! Yay! She only wants me to teach English Comprehension, and it's only once a week, one and a half hours each time...
Student is a Primary 5 Taiwanese boy who only came to Singapore last June...
very clever, very cute, has a knack for bargaining (according to his mom)...
His mother is the nicest woman (though I sense an air of "don't-mess-with-me-cos-i-got-secret-powers" about her), and super polite and warm.
Tutorial Balloting Results
For once, I actually got EVERYTHING I planned for! Amazing! I was pleasantly surprised man...haha...not bad not bad...
This semester had regenerated some of the hope which I lost last semester after the terrible war with the World of CORS dragon...
