This flash video is 99% true of what I'm thinking, and what I want to say. The 1% is because of the difference in age. It is in Chinese though. If I can, I will try to type it out. the clip is funny, cute as well as sad all in 1.

Cycling Trip
Took some photos along the way...
Tampines Mall
My primary school
Gongshang Primary School.
The place changed quite a lot.
My previous place of residence
This place changed a lot too!
My Secondary School
Tanjong Katong Sceondary School.
Little change to this place, as there aren't a lot of space for further development.

As you can see, my cycling trip was cut short, and that was my last place of "interest". Reason was I got "caught" by someone I know from band while I was taking this photo. There was actually a meeting going on regarding the band competition this year. So... had to "give face" and go attend the meeting and contribute some ideas (which I didn't). Lost pretty much interest in band already... and it lasted 3 hours before I left. Ya, so thats all. Hope that I'll have more photos

I'm a Qualified First-Aider
3 days course, $90, and you can be a first-aider. Having first-aid qualification is requirement for my Engineering Degree, so no choice have to attend.
My class consists mainly aunties and uncles... urm... should be big sisters and big brothers. As the new Manpower regulations requires at least 1 in 25 staff to be a qualified first-aider, they were either sent by their companies to attend this course, or their job-scope requires them to have certain knowledge on first-aid. As this license is only valid for 3 years, most of them were just there to get refreshed and updated with any new regulations.
What is covered in this course is mainly CPR and bandages. Just the basic of saving lives. Had a test today, and expectedly passed. The tester was Uncle Chia, a 75 year old man who'd joined the St John's in the 1960's. He just recovered from a heart-attack, had 4 of this arteries clogged, and therefore a bypass operation. A very nice fella.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Kept myself pretty occupied with the first-aid course for 3 days. Trying to keep my focus away, but once lesson ended at 4, I would be walking the streets alone.
Tuesday - Went to parkway for my haircut. Had a walk around parkway parade after that trying to kill time. Saw many school kids. Time was about 5pm. Why the hell are they in a shopping center on a weekday when they should be at home? Still can remember my routine as a secondary school kid, which is home after school, or band. No gallivanting!!! I'm a boring person la to say... Haha... no life. My secondary school life evolves around school, band, home.
Wednesday - Met friend to pass some things and have dinner. Supposed to meet at 7pm, and lesson ended at 3. 4 hours for me to walk. Decided to walk to the nearby Bugis Junction. Walk walk see girls, but see already more sad. See more, think more. Saw my NS signal sergeant who happened to be working as a cook/chef in a Japanese restaurant. Will get discount should I patronize. So people, if you are interested in this new Japanese restaurant beside Sakae Sushi in Bugis Junction, please let me know. We can go together. :-)
Guess what's near to Bugis? Yes my friends, it has got to be Suntec City, and Marina Square. Don't want to write in details as that will take a very very long time... and then later on to Ngee Ann City. After dinner, home.
Thursday - Test-day + some revision. Meeting BMT mates for "Ba Kut Teh" at Geylang Lorong 13. It was good I think. $4+ for a mixed bowl of "Ba Kut" and some of the pig's parts. Think my sense of taste is turning aussie. Can't really take spicy food. Chilli to be exact. Die die...
Followed them around the even lorongs for some after-dinner "activity". Was in one lorong when 1 guy shouted out loud some words, followed by hookers running in 1 direction, hiding behind vehicles. Seconds later, a police van came into sight. They even hid in the drains behind vehicles. Very well trained. Can join the Army. And when the van turned the corner, all went back to their usual business. It seems to me that the police van was just "going through motion" Think they don't know meh... pretend only...
Besides prostitutes, there were also gambling tables in 1 of the lorongs playing大小. Kind of interesting as this is my first time seeing illegal gambling. Had to quicken pace when passing by those gamblers as it would get complicated should the police appear. Though it's not my first time walking through these even lorongs, i still find it quite disturbing for girls of different age and race to be there touting, hoping for your patronization.

Friday tomorrow. Don't know what to do. Lose weight. Cheers.

What Type of Heart Do You Have
Got this application from Facebook.
If you don't wish to strain your eyes reading, it reads:
"You fall in love quickly and easily. You give so much in a relationship, and you don't expect much in return. You love always seeing your lover and you just love them as they are. You have a huge desire to whomever you love and you stay in love forever."
Very true leh! 100% accurate. First time seeing such accurate readings. Completely stunned.

好多感触的一天
今天陪爸爸去医院验血。在验血的诊所里看到了很多很多年长的人。对生老病死又有了很多地感触。医院对我来说一点也不陌生，因为从小就常往医院跑。不是看病，而是探病。我奶奶自从在家里跌了一脚后，就变了样。而且又开始上了年纪。"老人病"也缠了身。就这样进进出出医院了好几年。
看着老爸的身影，知道岁月在他身上流下了不少痕迹。看着他的背影渐渐地向我离去，心里头有酸酸的感觉，好想落泪。
----------------------------------------------------
Finally went for a long distance cycling. Cycled for a distance of I think 15-20km? I'm really bad at gauging distances. Went from home -> upper serangoon road -> potong pasir -> bendemeer -> jalan bersah -> fullerton -> esplanade -> suntec -> nicoll highway -> geylang (oops) -> macpherson -> upper serangoon -> serangoon gardens, chomp chomp -> kovan -> home.
Geylang is the reputable red light district of Singapore. Prostitutes filled the even lorongs. Even though I am only at lorong 8, I can see tonnes of call girls standing along the streets, touting for customers. Easy money??? Its really sad to see them doing this to themselves. Some are really young looking. So sad... aren't they afraid of catching some diseases or what?
Hope the society will turn for the better, which I think will not happen in my lifetime.

Another Boring Day
Guess what? I did not go swimming again! even though the sun was scorching. Hehehe. Went to register for first-aid cost which cost $90. It is a requirement for my Bachelor program to have completed a first-aid course. It will be a 3-whole day course from 9.30am to 4.30pm at St John's Headquarters at Beach road starting next Tuesday.
Went on to meet 2 of my BMT mates for dinner at Orchard road. The weather in Singapore is really unbearable. Hate it. 5 minutes of walk and I am already feeling wet and sticky. Yucks! And I am walking at a really slow pace as compared to the others.

放空
今天跟往常一样，有心无力地9.30am就起床了。可是呢，又跑回去睡。睡到12点多，就去买午餐。一踏出家不到5分钟，天就开始下着绵绵细雨。每次都这样玩我。
不知道从几时开始，吃饭的时候都习惯地打开电脑里的戏来看。边看边吃。今天也不例外。开始看着刚下载的综艺节目。我觉得我吃东西越来越快。不到10分钟就把一包饭给吃完了。过后，就继续看戏。看啊看，慢慢地就开始放空。哎唷啊!看戏也会放空。过后，又回去我的梦园。
在梦园里待了一回儿后，就出去踏脚车。踏啊踏，发现新加坡司机们的耐性都很差。很喜欢按喇叭。真糟糕!!!有点耐心嘛!赶着去投胎么? 在等交通灯亮的时候，我又不知不觉地开始放空。脑袋再次的陷入空白。
不想再写下去了。写越多，想的就越多。希望明天我真的能去游泳!

Wanted to go for a swim. Woke up at 9.30am, looked at the sky, said thank you, and went back to sleep. It rained minutes later.
Wanted to go night cycling. It began to drizzle seconds before I reach the meeting point. Geez....
I just want to sweat it out, change my focus to something. Why do you want to play with me? Going to download and watch lots of taiwanese variety shows. Be it lame or stupid. I just want to laugh. Any comedies to recommend? I need to shift my focus... Hopefully it'll help. Hopefully...

今天
今天走了很多路。大约数了一下，至少有6公里。6公里说长不长，说短呢，又不会很短。在走着的6公里，我也想了很多东西。问老天和自己很多问题。可是，还是找不到答案。很多的‘为什么’，可是没有‘因为’、‘原来’。
对于某些事产生了恐惧感。"一朝被蛇咬，十年怕草绳"的心态慢慢地产生。怕了。感情的事不能勉强。"男人不坏，女人不爱"难道是真的? 为什么有些人换女朋友像换衣服那么简单，而我连一个都没有? 也许我没有女人缘吧。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
今天不知道怎么了。怪怪的。
1。走路撞到了脚踏车。
2。买橙又搞错。5粒$1.95。需要买20粒。拿了4个袋子(1个袋5粒)。去付钱的时候，看着出纳员数啊数，发现了有两袋少了1粒。付了钱后便回去拿多两粒回柜台。一看见纸袋就要拿了，却听到"那袋是我的"。原来我那袋被出纳员放在一边了。哎哟啊!
3。在搭自动扶梯时，往上那边坏了，而往下是好的。没办法，只好走上去。买完东西后，上的那边好了，下的那边却坏了。不知道哪个XXX在玩我。XX的。

1 week
It has been a week back in Singapore. Nothing unusual. Ate some food, met some friends, walked some streets. Moments I will try to enjoy and try to be happy before I return to Brisbane.
Well, the first few days of 2008 hasn't been really great actually. 虽然我做什么事都会作最坏的打算，有心里准备。虽然我在做之前早已知道了答案，可是知道答案后难免还是会感到失望、伤心，甚至心痛。不过，我还是会勉强地笑，似乎什么事都没发生过。其实我期望不高，只希望身边的家人和朋友每天都开心，就ok了。
希望2008年剩下的360天，她能够开开心心, 我就开心了。
