Most of you would probably know that I'm on smoke for a few years already, so in recent times, I've decided to reduce my intake as much as possible. I would not say impossible, but unlikely that I'll be able to give it up totally so soon because of the large number of my clicks how have this habit as well. So I thought that I will, on my part reduce my intake. Well, as it turns out, it is much harder than it turned out to be. I have no idea what an addict I have become already. All this time I've been telling myself that because I am not taking a lot, so it is not that difficult for me to let go when I want to. But now that I want to try to let a little of it go, my body is already rejecting this offer. Last night was terrible, I could not sleep well. I kept having constant thoughts of the stick, and my entire body just feel so numb (actually even till now, as I am typing, I'll still feeling it). My body keeps telling me to go get that stick, I'm trying hard to control it, but it really is difficult. So now I am sleepy and tired, but the stick feeling is still there. I hope I can win this battle. Wish me luck.

End of Jap class
My Jap classes officially end today. After 10 weeks of lessons, I have learnt the basics of the Japanese language. Not that I can really speak like a Jap now (I don't even sound anything like it), and I still have problems forming my sentences, so I gotta really work it if I want to make it work. Well I'm still contemplating whether to continue with my lessons for basic 2, and even if I do want to continue, do I want to stay with my current school. I like the Jap teacher, Reiko San, but I really do not fancy the other Singaporean teacher (er I think his name Mr Chen, don't remember also). His classes are really not very effective, at least for me, and I really do feel more like I'm in a translation class rather than a Japanese class. So I'm really not looking forward to continuing lessons with him. But let me look at my options again and see what other schools can offer as well.
JB again
Yesterday we went to JB yet again for our weekly dvd and games lookout. But this week we didn't really buy much, I mean when you go there every other week, you really don't see much new stuff all the time. But really the highlight of yesterday was the dinner. We went over to this resturant that DY's father had recommended (he went there the last time they did filming there). Actually all of them have been there before, other than me. And DY's father was around also, so we had a great time chatting, eating and drinking. The food came non stop, and the beer also came bottomless. Of course don't expect hard liquor like chivas or vodka, just simple beer, both Heinken and Stout. Only me, CY and DY's father was drinking, and we pratically finished 10 bottles, and that does not include the beers we had when we went into the owner's house.
The place was really nice and relaxing. Very rural and rustic feel, stationed just beside the sea, overlooking Pulau Ubin. And together with the kampong, old school decorations, it really sets out hearts at ease. The seafood was super fresh of course, we had prawns, crabs, fish, sotong, gong gong, la la... There was so much to eat, and just before we ended our session, the boss invited us to his house for braised wild boar meat. It was specially cooked for us because DY's father had called them earlier that we will be coming. The wild boar meat was really really good. It was not fat, the skin was very chewy, and the meat was so tender. The owners added another dish of fried fish (I have no idea was fish it was, but the fish was super fresh and super nice). Again we had another round of beer in the house listening to old school hokkien karaoke, the entire package was just terrific. We must really go back there again, there was huge discount, I mean after eating all that and the drinks, we only paid 50RM each, and that includes us treating DY's father to the meal. But I really think that if we can gather a larger number of people to go there together, it would be perfect. Of course DY's father was great company, his presence really do make the entire session nice. And of course, with him around we do get larger discounts, hahaha. Overall I rate yesterday's dinner 10 stars!!

At long last
I just got a call from DSTA asking me to go for an interview! Yeh!!! Finally after so many emails and resumes sent, finally I get some reply. Well lets see how this goes from here, hopefully it is the beginning of my good times. If I'm not wrong, I've applied for the position of procurement executive in DSTA, not much idea what it is about still, so gotta do some research. Yippie! Good luck!
Life as it is
Seriously, I do not have much to blog about today. I only feel like I need to write something here for the sake of writing. Well life is still the same, its already 2009 and I still have not got a new job. Not even an interview. I'm now really a 宅男. I'm practically at home all the time.
有时候也不是说我想一直呆在家，但我的朋友周日都在做工啊，一个人到外头走走多没意识啊。况且我一想到要出门就会联想到花钱。在我现在的经济状况下，还是节约些比较好吧。咳，现在只能希望我能快点找到一份好的工作，一直在家游手好闲也不是办法。

Back from KL
I just got back from KL today. Went over there for a short getaway with Mel, Vik and Hon. Well for this trip, I didn't really prepare much, even my bag was only packed minutes before I left the house. But anyway, I did have a great time in KL (although there was nothing much to do). Probably it was the company lah. Had a great time getting to know Mel and Vik all over again.
I've already been to KL umpteen times that I've lost count. So there wasn't much that I wanted to do there. I didn't have clothes that I wanted to buy, neither did I really have any foods that I missed sorely. But it was just meant to be a short and cheap trip to get us out of SG for a little while. Having said that, there was a first for this trip, it was the first time I visited Sunway Lagoon. So many times that I've been to KL, I've never been to Sunway before. So there was a little something to look forward to. Sunway didn't quite live up to the expectation, and the price. I do think that it is a little over priced, given the number of rides there are inside.
This is a map of Sunway Lagoon, looks really fun and complicated right. But I really feel that they could have done more. The rides do not really justify the price lah. Given our time constrain, we only got the tickets to 2 of the parks, the water park and the admusement park (there are 5 parks in Sunway, there is also the wildlife park, extreme park and scream park, so you'll need to pay more to gain entry to more parks). That already cost us RM48.00. The ticket to all the parks cost RM72. So I think Sunway should really reconsider their pricing, either that or they can upgrade their rides to include more stuff for the customers. Choices there are a little limited.
The most fun parts came from making fun of each other, suaning each other, and of course the drinking and clubbing. Erm, okie, maybe not that much of the drinking (they don't really drink a lot), so more of the clubbing. This time we re-visited Zouk KL, giving it another chance to redeem itself from the horrid experience I had with Hon the previous time we were here. And well it did. The place seem to have been renovated a little, the music on Saturday was great, the crowd was great (not being racist here, but there were so much more chinese this time as compared to the previous time we were there), and the party of just great. It was so crowded that we just couldn't move on the dance floor at times. People kept cutting into our circle, sometimes creating a 'highway' between us. And the most irritating part is that the crowd seem to only start cutting in when the better music is on. So we have to literally stand still for the people to move by and can only resume dancing when they have all moved, and usually by then the music has changed, nah beh. Well if you can recall Zouk the last time I was there, I sat in Velvet with Hon, there was only another table of guest other than the 2 of us. It was plain pathetic, this time round even velvet was packed. Similar to SG, Zouk has 3 rooms, Zouk, Velvet and Phuture. Velvet and Phuture was packed to the brim, the spill over were in Zouk. Overall it was a really happening night. A marked improvement from the previous experience. So at least now we know that we can visit Zouk KL on Saturday nights. Hmmm, most of the pics are with Mel (some with Hon), so gotta get the pics of 'em. Hopefully I'll remember to post them up here as well (you know how lazy I am, hahaha)
CNY is just around the corner, need to cut my hair next week, and also dye it back to black. Got a re-shoot on the 14th. Still no news of my job search, hopefully I'll be able to find something real soon. Been really off work for sometime already... 加油！がんばって!

Happy 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A warm welcome to 2009... My first posting for the new year. Well before I begin, let me first say a big big BIG, welcome to 2009. Ending with so many uncertainties in 2008, lets hope 2009 will be a much better year than before. Here's wishing everyone the best of health and wealth in 2009.
Its now 5.30 in the morning, and I just reached home not too long ago from my 'countdown'. Well it was a pretty disappointing countdown I must say. Not really a very eventful evening. We met up at Bugis, Ceasers for drinks, but there was pretty nothing else for us to do other than drink. We were pretty much stoning, looking at each other with occasional chit-chat among one another, as if we were not really that close. To a point that it seem ackward (erm, think I got the spelling wrong for this one). We were thinking of what else we could do for the night. KTV? LSB? Steamboat? Another place for drinks? There was practically nothing we could do. Well we have to take into consideration that it is the new year, and everywhere is fully booked, so without reservation, it was really difficult to get a place anywhere. We were literally getting bored. Hmmmm, is this a sign of aging? Are we getting old already? Why is it that we do not feel that kick in this anymore, well at least for the night. The feel just wasn't there.
We haven't had enough for the night. I mean it was such a waste to spend a night just like that. We had 11 people and we didn't even finish a bottle. It was so unlike us. Well in the end, we changed over to Tanjong Pagar. They wanted to go to Sebai Sebai, but that was packed as well, so we went to the pub beside it, geographer bar (which was surprisingly empty). Had another round of drinks before calling it a day. Anyway I'll be heading to KL tomorrow for a short getaway. Not exactly the place I was thinking of going. If not for the fact that I'm unemployed and I have all the time in the world, I'd probably not go. KL has, in recent years, become a annual pilgramage (spelling wrong again, I know) for me. I've been like going there every year religiously. And I don't know why. There isn't much to do there, I probably won't buy much (maybe I won't even buy anything at all). So I don't know what I'm gonna do there. Well I haven't even packed my bag till now, erm I think I'll do that before I leave tomorrow. Hope everything will be well at home during the time I'm gone.
To my family, Happy new year! I love you all! Keep healthy! Huat Ah!
