Photos Updated 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Thursday, 15 February, 2007]I worked through the early morning again and this time, with a little packing of my wardrobe. Messages from the office waked me up at around 11am. By then, I was never interested in the projects anymore. Afterwards, Amy called me and arranged to collect the keys from me, which was just nice that I needed not go all the way down to office.Life was dull and boring. With sleepiness, I could hardly do anything and when my brother and his girlfriend returned, I knew there was little chance for packing. Justus came over to bomb me with more work and I had to abandon my web design. I knew his motive for I had known him since he was a baby and other than seeking companion to do his work, he was looking for games at my house.After working on a picture of a flat, I only used a tiny portion of it as background image; that was really so not-cool.In the evening, Amy finally called me up and I missed some parts of the show to go down and wait for her arrival. Next, I ins
There's No Luck 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Saturday, 03 February, 2007]I began the day with going down to Toa Payoh. I was quite lost for I did not know how to get out of the interchange to the opposite side without walking till the swimming pool side. Finally, I found my way to block 171.Lobby, front and kitchenStore room, master bed room and bathroomCommon rooms and living roomView from windowsI met Kelly on the way and we rotted at the super "chio" flat, which was designed like a condominium. Kelly left to collect documents from Grace and I was left behind to wait for Chris, who was supposed to come at 2.45pm. At around 3.10pm, I wanted to call him and realised my SIM card was invalid. I tried restarting my phone and he arrived at the same time. His buyers, the couples, were very unsatisfied with the shape of the house; the lady started showing black face and they left soon. I was alone again, feeling so disappointed for I felt Chris' clients should have appreciated the structure more.Adeline arrived after 4pm to get
Greeting Card from Huiying 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Thursday, 15 February, 2007]I received my first Chinese New Year card after so many years. The deliveryman was not from Singpost but my neighbour. The very inefficient postman had delivered letter to wrong unit again and luckily my neighbour took the trouble to pass it to me.The card was from Huiying.Anyway, she had promised to address her two younger sisters as her elder sisters "jie jie" so that I would address her as "mei mei". Cool right?

Chinese New Year Eve 2007 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Saturday, 17 February, 2007]The day began with dining with Weitat and Kailin at Geylang. We had our supper at Wang Jiao Dian Xin instead of You Tiao Da Wan for the latter shop was closed for the festival. Food was just alright but service was terrible.While we were walking back to the car park, my mum called and when she heard a girl's (Kailin's) voice besides me, she just assumed that was Vivi. At this moment I did not know how I should feel. I did tell my mum before we were through already but somehow she did not get it or she refused to get it. Perhaps, she did not get to see Vivi often since long ago and that was why she was used to it, like me, that she did not realise it was history already. Kailin drove me home and followed by Weitat. I was sleepy but energetic somehow, however, did not lead the route well enough that Kailin had to make a big round at Chinatown.I continued with the clicking of the "hug" website for Suimin, and that was very time-consuming and dull.

Life Is Getting Boring 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Friday, 16 February, 2007]It had been quite some time since I last had a dream. I remembered during the army days I had dreams almost every night, which could be caused by depression or anxiety. Therefore, I guessed life was much better right now, at least I did not have to follow instructions from any asshole. Of course, I used to get more allowance, the pathetic $520 each month.Kelly waked me up regarding Uncle Sam's matter and I finally got up at around 2pm. Kelly contacted me an hour later and I went downstairs to find Uncle Sam afterwards. Then, I met up with David and he taught me some stuffs on rental. he treated me tea, which I regretted not fighting over to pay for it. Soon, we went over to find Uncle Sam together and I called Kelly, which lasted like ten minutes for she wanted to hear the conversation. Later on, I was drenched.Before I could get home to rest, I saw an uncle try to help his old mum up the stairs. I rendered my help by carrying the wheelchair up. His mum was
Miracle, House Viewing and Out with Xiao Hong 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Saturday, 10 February, 2007]I struggled throughout the night to settle Kaven's notebook but it seemed to be effortless no matter how I tried. A four letter word filled my mind and I was so helpless…"AHHH"I almost wanted to tell Kaven that I would like to give up, whereas he seemed to be quite expertise on it and provided me with some solutions which I had tried. Out of frustration, I decided to rollback the system to right after installation of windows using the System Recovery.It was a touch of life, a miracle reached me.I was testing the sound by opening the Windows Media Player and since the default page was the online information, I could sense the weirdness that it could be displayed. Therefore, I opened the Internet Explorer and the MSN page was showing up. My brother suspected it could be due to the cache and I quickly typed the Google website and it showed up as well.The internet connection as well as the home networking for the laptop was doing fine!After the weird bu Read more:House

. I did some coordinating and gathering of the team members after Anqi listed me out some names. The day before, I called and messaged Anqi but there was no response. It was during evening, she told me of the timing and I started to message everyone immediately. Hours later, I called each individual and realised Robin was not going down. It was very disheartening for he did not even bother to inform me earlier, not even to reply to my message.On the early morning, I reached there early but sad to realise it was the same situation like before - everyone was late. We were supposed to meet at 7am and when I called Anqi, she claimed 7.15am instead but obviously she could not even make it at 7.30am. Wilson drove Weitat over and I hopped onto his sport car for the first time.We were so early, considere Read more:Volleyball

I did not bear to damage it in any way and thus I only took some peeps into the open space to look for the PIN.Thanks to whoever.I hope I am able to acquire a domain name for my property website soon, which I have been working hard on the design and contents.Want to have a sneak preview on the unfinished work? http://sillydumb.com/property

Swim With Gilbert and Peh 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Tuesday, 06 February, 2007]I switched my phone's alarm clock to sound at 8am but I dragged on. My entire body was weak and hurting and that I was feeling as stiff as the previous day. As my mum cooked instant noodle for me later, I told Gilbert I would be late for the swim.I moved slowly and even forgotten to bring my swimming goggle that I had to make a U-turn home. I informed Gilbert when I was at Braddel station and by the time I reached Ang Mo Kio, it was half an hour later than the agreed time. Gilbert arrived after me and we waited for another half an hour for Peh to reach.Together we strolled to the pool with craps along the way. The sky did not seem to welcome us but alas it did not rain. At first I hesitated to get into the pool again for my body was already burnt so badly. The sun glowed to threaten me more but I joined them soon.Peh kept us fit by swimming two laps at one go each time before taking a short break. Together, we swam and hopped for 20 laps, which was quite i
The Cool House Viewing At TPY 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Monday, 12 February, 2007]After so long, my sleepiness could finally drag me to bed. I was editing the MP3s using Winamp and I nodded so many times that I decided I should take this good opportunity to sleep early. It was only at around 1am.ShoulderI was not sure what time my mum reached home but she dragged me up and started peeling the dead skin off my body for the third consecutive day. That was an addictive game for her but if you were to think in another angle, it was quite crazy to wake me up just for that.I had quite a good rest afterwards thought I woke up a few times and finally at 11am. Updating of my websites and coordinating of appointments kept me busy.I left home at late afternoon and went straight to the office. Regina was not around and Sharon was at the receptionist counter instead. I found it quite weird to Sharon somehow; probably because she was quite stylish looking and I always had this mentality to avoid chatting with babes somehow.Winnie saw me from far and gre Read more:House

Early Morning Jog 1970-01-01 00:59:59 My laziness delayed me till after midnight when my determination won over it. I dragged myself down to the third storey where I usually jogged at the open space. Six rounds around the neighbour were killing me right at the second lap when my stomach started to act weird.At first I thought it was either my stamina had weakened once again or sleepiness had caught me, until the last round when I realised I had forgotten to take in deep breaths. I had to slow down and both my palms had to press onto the sides in order to comfort my stomach.I always thought I would outrun the previous timing which was the worst of my entire records. I had failed entirely. 16'07 - to me, it was such a disgrace.Anyway, before I went down, I had a short chat with my fake sister, Kailin, who promised to jog with me next time. We also had a rule that she should never run faster than me.After the jogSweat..Sweat? Yes, under the dead skin!

Chinese New Year - Day One 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Sunday, 18 February, 2007]Alone in the living room, that was how I spent my first moment of the Chinese
New Year. I could not even be bothered to look at the television. My brothers each occupied a room while my mum started offering prayers to the heaven and then went to the temple.The bonus was the phone call from Suimin. It was fun to chat with girls who spoke English most of the time and had weird but sexy Chinese accent. Usually I would try my best to fool them into using Chinese. Nevertheless, it was good enough to chat with sweet girls. We did not chat for long again.I also received a greeting SMS from Sherry. How weird it could be for such a busy girl to do this? We used to chat a lot during the IRC days but time eventually got us separated. She moved on fast with the pace of this society but I was still straying and losing my way at the very beginning. Almost seven years of friendship and we had not taken any photo together, but I trusted her to keep her promise, unlike other Read more:Chinese New Year

Third Day of Chinese New Year 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Wednesday, 21 February, 2007]My second day of "bai nian" was actually at my father's side - at my small uncle's house which was located at Hougang.I spent the early morning doing my website and chatting with Suimin. I was expecting very little sleep because my mum would wake me up for the house visiting but I woke up at around 11am by myself. My elder brother was not even home from his soccer game yet and I almost thought we were not going out anymore. After my brother returned and his girlfriend came to join us before we left for Hougang.Through familiar paths, we were able to get there. The house was still as beautiful as two years ago; everything was well-kept. Atmosphere was good with all the jokes around and we did some catch up. The most entertaining part was when my eldest cousin came with her daughters, the kids started to play hide-and-seek. Kids were so naïve that they tended to forget who were the people they were supposed to search sometimes. One of my nieces was Read more:Chinese

A Sickly Working Day 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Saturday, 24 February, 2007]The night ended late but I was waked up by Christopher at 10am. Time for viewing was finalised to be at 1.30pm. I tried to laze around but eventually got up at 11am to start packing and gobble up the food. I went to Uncle Sam's place and realised the flooring was not done up yet and there was also this foul smell.On the way, I realised I had forgotten to bring my water bottle again. Sneezing had also tried to keep passers-by away from me. For moments I felt weaker than usual but still insisted to walk there.Kelly reached Ang Mo Kio earlier than me. Christopher and his clients were very nice and friendly people. We stayed there for quite long in order to clarify things and Christopher helped us to put in really good and honest words.After the viewing, we went in separate ways. I was more caution about my health this time and went to the MacDonald's to get a cup of drinks. However, I did not seem to be able to slip in much water into my body as my stomach
Tour around TPY and My Missed Opportunity 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Thursday, 22 February, 2007]The boring routine of blogging and updating of website continued till late. Jolee called me in the morning to ask me to join her at Toa Payoh so that she could give me some guidance. At first I thought 12.30pm was a nice timing but I accepted her suggestion to meet at 1pm instead. Suddenly I looked into my phone and remembered the clock's batteries had died and it was already near 12pm.I realized my mum had bought breakfast for me and I quickly took a few bites before packing it up and put into my bag. I was quite impressed that I managed to get there before 1pm but she was late. After meeting up, she told me to go to the food court to finish my food while she went to the toilet. However, I felt uncomfortable with my stomach and went to the toilet nearest to the food court instead. It was one of the most pathetic toilets I had ever visited with cockroaches running about.We went straight to ERA instead to meet her co-broke agent and were shown around. True Read more:Opportunity
Witnessing the Presentation 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Friday, 23 February, 2007]I was waked up by calls, being entertained by Christopher, Kelly, Jenny and Grace, and another agent called Eric. I was intending to go to office in the late afternoon to help Jenny to submit her invoice payment but I realised she did not pass me Linda's name card and it was no point going to the office.I was basically rotting my afternoon away, playing game till evening before I left home for Bukit Batok. Mingfa's sister had this friend who wanted to sell away his house. So, I took this packed train at the busy hour and saw this girl in Fairfield Methodist Secondary School holding hands with a guy. She sounded like those sweet "ang moh" girl but she turned me off totally with her messy hair like as if she had been raped. Her nose ring kept me so puzzled throughout the journey over the discipline of the school.I was too lazy to look at the map again as I was quite sure the flat was near the MRT station.

Second Day of Chinese New Year 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Monday, 19 February, 2007]The night went on as usual with blogging and updating of my websites into near dawn. I woke up at around 3pm then, which was a new record for so many donkey months.I played my game again in this really stupid New Year day when there was no house visiting or any other event.In the late evening, my mum wanted to go to the River Ang Bao again. Since she did not cook or buy anything, I had to accompany my whole family to go there. We dined at the Amara hotel's Burger King before proceeding to the bus-stop. The trip itself was shorter than the waiting time, which explained how long we had waited there.We did a few photo-taking before my mum started camping in front of the God of Wealth sculpture. By then my stomach started to play a prank with me and I had to rush to the toilet. The journey towards Cityhall MRT was as long as completing the Great Wall of China.

Love Isn't Blind 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I do not understand why good girls always fall for bad guys regardless of looks. And after they are being dumped, they realise the guys are actually bastards but they are still fond of the guys.Is love blind?I do not call that love at all; it is an act of foolishness incurs from the alluring power of pleasing words and concern.It is when you are missing something in your heart, maybe simply attention from your love ones that you would seek for more somewhere else. Someone just happens to cross your path and your excitement overwhelms your heart and judgement.Some people say you have to try out different relationships in order to know what you truly need and want; I agree to it though there are exceptional cases of first love lasting forever. Whatever you do, watch your steps so that you do not get sick and tired when your true love finally arrives.

Not All Children Are Child-like 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It is really useless to argue with kids who cannot absorb logics. Even if you were to talk to them in a more childish manner than what they are, it does not work out. Thus, it is sometimes good to avoid communicating with them, of course not implying to all since most kids are cute and fun to play with.In fact, friends who have know me for years will know I always put my status down in order make younger friends feel ease and less pressurized in talking to me but now I learn my lesson that not everyone worth it.What is childish?I put a hyperlink to my website with someone's web address and label it as "Horny and open-minded bitch" and I tell that person it is my website and therefore I can do whatever I want.Sometimes it is fun to joke around with friends but when things get nasty somehow, it turns quite sick as well. When your friend claims that she will not be annoyed even if you threaten to take revenge, do not believe. Seriously, you will never realise how dark her face can g Read more:Children
Clearing of Links 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Some people say being too selfless is also being selfish and unkind to oneself, but it does not cost much to me as long as my friends are worth it.I have been very magnanimous about friends not linking their blogs back to mine. I do not expect every friend to be concern about me even when I bother to even add their addresses into my Bloglines account so that I can be notified of their new updates.From many aspects, I know clearly who are really concerned about me and who are simply hi-bye friends.The idea of having many links from people to show popularity is not what I really seek for; it is the consistency of readers who really admire my essays or want to know more about my life.But this day when someone threatens to unlink me, I feel so sick suddenly. If I care so much, I would have bothered to go around asking all my friends to link me back.A disappointing afternoon makes me remove all the dead links and links for people who do not seem to bother about me.

Maybe it was already like that since long ago and I had been living in a secluded life.I was waked up by Aida once again regarding the Ang Mo Kio flat. My younger brother and his friends were at my house by then but they soon left the house.It was an inefficient afternoon and things went pretty bad. House viewing for the Ang Mo Kio flat was postphoned to the next day.I tried to update my blog was it seemed to be on a slow pace with the television on. At night, my job was to find songs again.

I'm a Sinner of the Property Line 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Sunday, 25 February, 2007]In this world, you can classify working personnel into two types - one who works honestly and one who works scandalously for his own gain, even in the loss of others.In my short journey in the property line, I have encountered many people who do not practise what they preach. They turn out to be despicable liars just like how it appears in dramas. I shall give you an example.I-Da-Liar is the coordinator of a team who will make contacts with other agents and clients, and arrange all the viewing and timing for her team's agents. In this unfortunate day, she contacts agent "Donator" to arrange a viewing for her clients who wish to purchase a 4-room flat in Ang Mo Kio.Donator is a happy-go-lucky, frank and honest agent who represents the owner of the flat. The flat belongs to JTC (Jurong Town Corporation) and it is a project for his company. Since many companies are fighting over this project and some even offer zero commission, he receives no commission
Work and Bai Nian at Anqi's House 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Sunday, 25 February, 2007]I wake up in the morning in order to go for the viewing at early afternoon. It was the usual long way to Ang Mo Kio and I dragged on my feet when I was not feeling well. It was an unfortunate day indeed. I supposed I was the first agent who ever did not want to close a deal which I would make money.I went straight to Buona Vista MRT and waited there for Meijun. Together, we walked to Ghim Moh to look for the rest and go up to Apple's house. They started playing cards and I knew we would be late for the next appointment. We were supposed to meet the rest at 6.30pm at Queenstown MRT but they only planned to leave at the same time. I was quite nervous and kept looking into my watch for I did not like to be late. In the end, they only started packing up at 6.30pm and there were more things to drag about.Weitat and I went downstairs to get some paper plates, spoons and forks.

Another Tired and Angry Day 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Monday, 26 February, 2007]I was lack of sleep as usual from the sleep-late-wake-up-early routine.I dropped by Uncle Sam's shop and Lulu claimed that he was back and was settling his flat. I went up and only saw an Indian resting there. The condition of the house was lousy still.I went back to the office for a number of tasks; I had to get the Shunfu keys from Louis, submit the valuation request, submit the block 219 Ang Mo Kio's OTP and submit invoice form for Jenny.Problems aroused and I was in quite a mess over deciding which task to accomplish. I could not find James and Jenny's invoice required another invoice from her co-broke agent. Shunfu's keys were not back yet. Suddenly, a hypocrite messaged me to fax valuation report over. Jolee suddenly told me she would collect hundred bucks if she had to go down for anyone's appointment through using her resale net transaction account. Winnie had been a very good help this afternoon. As it started to rain, I took my leave from
Living On Phone and Dinner at Thai Restaurant 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Tuesday, 27 February, 2007]I set a new record for these few months by sleeping only during daylight. Before I could wake up by myself to start into looking for flats for Kaven, numerous calls had flooded my ears. I answered to Jolee, Kelly and Mingfa. There seemed to be a dispute for using Jolee’s resale net just for doing valuation, which Kelly had clarified with the HDB officer that it was legal. The whole tiring issue lasted for hours.I only managed to start calling to search for flats for Kaven in the afternoon. I got into some long chats with polite agents but I knew well I should never trust any stranger that much anymore. I was stunned when an agent claimed that she was not holding two units which Kelly had told me. I was further embarrassed by her when I asked about the type of the house – 5-room flats did not have type “NG” and “S”.Justus’ grandmother came over and gave me a big ang bao.

No Reply from Agents 1970-01-01 00:59:59 [Wednesday, 28 February, 2007]It was yet another meaningless day. Even though sleeping hour was similar to usual days, I finally could wake up late without much disturbance to my sleep other than a SMS.In the afternoon, Justus came over before I could do anything. This time, he was doing Chinese composition instead of the usual mathematics questions and it took much longer time. His Chinese was terrible. As usual, he was so easily distracted and thus wasting so much time. I took two video clips of him using my phone and he got quite angry somehow.After he left, I started calling the agents to arrange for viewings for Kaven but all of them told me to SMS them instead. It was so different from what I had been doing; when I was selling the JTC flats, I was so professional and gave them reply almost immediately most of the time. I knew well I could not expect everyone to be as considerate as me.As I waited on, none had replied me. The feeling was terrible and I was not sure if I was simply
