Bangkok Cheats

My friend came back from Bangkok few days back. She's didn't say how her trip was, the only thing she mentioned was that she was cheated 5 k plus Singapore Dollars.

What happened was that, she went to Bangkok with her boyfriend. On their second day, they went to this temple to prayed. They were approached by a person, who claimed that he can bring them to this place whereby they can have a look at some of the stuff over at their place whereby it will bring luck. They evern offered to provide the travelling service to and fro from the place.

There they went to the place. They were brought to place where jewellery was sold. Details of that place aren't given. They were shown around and briefed about how the jewellery can be sold back in Singapore for a much higher price, allowing them to earn a decent amount of profit. A self-claimed Singaporean showed up, claiming he lived in Bukit Batok and he has been doing this for years and showed them the receipt of the shop in Lucky Plaza whereby he got this stuff sold there.

Feeling tempted and convinced, they bought 2 sets. However the boyfriend felt that it's seem a nice deal and they bought 3 sets in total. 1 set cost them 1.7k Singapore Dollars. Total, 5K plus on those jewellery. Nothing was felt amiss throughtout the rest of their stay there. It's only back in Singapore whereby they tried to sell those jewellery that they realised they were cheated. All those jewellery were only being sold to the Auntie on Lucky Plaza for a mere 500 bucks. Not even 10 % of what they had forked out. The Auntie also explained to them how many others had been cheated, approaching her to sell those jewellery, an average of 1-2 person per week.

Some research was done and actually, many knew about this. It was once featured in Singapore papers. For those who's going Bangkok in near future, i hope you take extra caution and don't be tempted by rubbish. Nothing comes free, greed won't get you anywhere. Hope it helps...

Anyway, speaking of the Bangkok trip, me and Dearie chanced upon a luggage promotion back in Suntec Carrefour yesterday. Two huge luggage for only 39.90 bucks. Wink wink....what a deal...Can't wait for June to come..

Love?

Many of us have or had been in love. The definition of love is often a debate. The feeling of love is often sweet. However, there's also a downside of love, it will bring pain and hurt to those whose love has failed. There's several stages in love. This involves from falling in love, till getting together, to maintaining this relationship, to getting married, to having a family and then eventually growing old.

Often the most important part is the part where you have to maintain the relationship. At this stage, parties often consider their half as either just boyfriend or girlfriend. All the saying of 'i will marry you in x years time, all because i love you, forever and ever.' RUBBISH and BULLSHIT. How sure is he that he will sees himself wearing the groomsuit in x years time? The only time he's sure will be the day he not only treats you as his girlfriend but also as a kin. Let me question this paragraph with another questio - will there be any possiblity of leaving your girlfriend? I'll ask another question - will there be any possibility of you leaving your kin? Imagine i ask you to sever ties with your mother. Would you bear to do it? Almost certainly not, all because she's your kin.

I've seen how old couples have grown old together and at their age, still as loving as any other young couples on the street. I've seen how married couples have ended up as enemies fighting over custody of their children and over fortune. I've seen how young couples break up and leaving either one party feeling the world is coming to an end. So what is love? There's a quotes i used to chance upon, if love causes hurt, then why go for it? Aren't you hurting yourself?

There's this article i came across. I'm not a love guru, but my relationship with my own girlfriend and relationships of my friends has made me learned alot. Enjoy this article written by someone....I'll name this someone Edward (fake name)

When a couple decide to tie a knot after dating for just four months, are they madly in love - or just mad? Edward takes another look at quickie marriages.

[I've recently found out that two friends of mine are getting hitched to each other. This called up for celebration - so i met up with one of them for a lychee martini. The customary ritual between girlfriends went something like this: "Congratulations, let me see your rock...Wow, nice one, you lucky girl!"

But after the alcohol wore off, i couldn't help but feel a little sceptical. After all, Jess was marrying John four months after finding each other on a dating website. Why the hurry to get married? How can you possibly get to know a person inside and out within a span of four quick months? Then i checked myself: For a moment there, i forgot that i too had been there and done that, tying the knot with something i'd known for just six months.

Sure, it's easy to be on the outside saying: "What are they thinking?" But for the people in the whirlwind couplings who are madly in love and attached at the hip, there's probably no better way to profess your love quickly than to seal it with an "I do", especially in this age of instant gratification.

That's because when you are in love, it's very difficult to escape the trappings of romance. They don't call it being "Madly in lovE" for nothing. And when Cupid strikes, the intensity of love is so strong that most lovebirds don't even know what hit them. Loves makes you go against all things rational because falling in love is the most addictive drug in the universe.

From the medical point of view, there's a rational explanation for all this. Feeling tight-headed and giddy, with butterflies floating in your gut, can be all blamed on the spike in your hormones. That's why for the "newly in lovE", it's no sweat staying up all night chatting on the phone or waking up at 6am to watch the sunrise together, hand-in-hand at East Coast Park. Love makes you feel bright as a button, bold and fearless, and like you're on top of the world.

Why so soon?
But while it's perfect to vask in love and enjoy it, do couples absolutely need to get hitched so soon? If you decide that you're going to spend the rest of your love together anyway, why not hold off on the decision to visit the Registry of Marriage for a eyar or two. It shouldn't make any difference to your existing relationship.

Here's why you should wait a little longer. Researchers from Italy's Pavia University found that "love molecules" in the blood - which heighten the euphoric feeling new lovers get - decrease after one year then level off to match the blood level of couples who have been in long term relationships. It simply means that the exhilaration during the honeymoon period doesn't last, and that life gets back to normal after the first 12 months.

Even relationship counsellors strongly urge couples to date for at least a year before getting engaged, because it takes that long to know each other - about three months to discover their partner's "real side". and six to nine months for each other's flaws to surface. This is the time when most couples usually start questioning where their relationship is headed, deciding if they can live with each other imperfections or not.

So it really doesn't hurt to take your time and get to know each other's good and bad sides. For one, think of the problems that would follow if your quickie marriage fails for some reason. It's isn't like being in a relationship where you can just breal up. Legally, you'd have to be separated for three years before you can file a divorce. Factor childen in and it's double the legal trouble. Not to mention the amount of money spent on earplugs after listening to relatives and friends all waiting to say "I told you so".

If you need more convincing, Hollywood celebrities make a pretty good case-in-point on whirlwind-romance-crash-and-burn scenarios. Britney Spears was married to Jason Alexander for a good 55 hours. Nichiolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley faried only slightly better, lasting three months. As for Tom Green and Drew Barrymore, they bid farewell to each other after five months of wedded bliss. How many of these quickie relationships ended up happily ever after? I can't think of any, going by Tinseltown standards.

The recipes for staying in love
But to be fair, i know of couples in Singapore who met and married three months after meeting each otherm and are still stuck like glue after 15 years. On the other hand, friends who married their childhood sweetheart of 10 years have also separated within just a year of their nuptials.

As for my own marriage, the truth is that it ended as quickly as it started. Six months after tying the knot, we went our own seperate ways. I've learnt that the hard way that my heart or gut isn't the best organ to decide it if i should walk down the aisle. I've learnt to trust my grey matter instead. Like the experts say, couples put their best behaviour in the first few months of courtship. When you are wrapped up in love, of course your gut is going to assume he or she is The One.

Falling in love is the easy hit, judging by how frequently it occurs. But in the end, relationships are really keeping the flame burning when the thrill of the chase is overm when reality sets in a year or two after marriage. Try feeling the euphoria of love for your husband after you've cleaned the apartment and he doesn't notice it at all.

Still, i'm not giving up on finding my "real" soulmate. I asked some happily married couples on what's their secret recipe to living happily ever afterr is. While there is no magiv formula, most of them said you need to be both best friend and lovers. Like Tina and Mike, married 12 years, who helpfully point out that trust can't be earned overnight or in just four months, but instead grows stronger after weatherinn the hard knocks of life. Compromise is another factor, as is never taking each other for granted. Another friend, Justin, says he and his wife have a pact: "Never yell at one another unless the house is on fire."

I'm inspired. Whether it's a tumultous romance or a five-year relationship, the fact is that we all want to same end result - a happy and vlissful marriage. And while it's really up to you to decide what's best for yourself, it's better to play it safe.

Get to know each other for at least a year before taking the plunge. Because you know what they say: The best things come to those who wait.]

The above article is really interesting and sets me thinking. It's so true of what is mentioned and i've learnt abit or two from it...Hope you guys have the same sentiments after reading it as well...

Random

Finally, school reopens. I don't know why, from the time where i'm so hopeful and glad that i've taken this course, to now, i kind of regretted. Really. I shan't say the reason out because it will only make me feel more stupid. I'm losing this interest in studying. But seriously, this has nothing to do with anything else. My hope in working in this interest is growing day by day. In fact, i'm already searching for jobs. Top priority would be to work in the Events/Conventions industry, which Singapore Tourism Board terms it MICE. Anyone has got any lobang, please please let me know. I'll be grateful.

Went to the career fair on Sunday. Was excited and at the same time, really curious to find out more in the industry which i'm intending to work towards. It turned out to be a huge disappointment, like how i told Gav. Dearie went with me and i bet it bores her, but she still hasn't changed her tempted mind of 'Changing Industry'. The career fair was boring. It didn't features any specific industry in particular. I saw ARMY, AIR FORCE and SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE having their own booths. Is Singapore really so in need of manpower to defend the country? I seriously wonder...I didn't learn much from the fair. I realised that the Events/Conventions industry isn't that big in Singapore, perhaps i didn't do enough research. I'm preparing for it.

Dearie's exam coming real soon. That means she's going to be real busy. She's seem to be studying everyday, well, almost. At the same time, she's mumbling on how much she wanted to switch to Hospitality industry. My explanation didn't helped much as she's bent on finding thousands and thousands reasons to switch industry.

My Citibank clear card is here. The tons and tons of benefit makes me want to eat and shop till i drop. More importantly, i get free entry to clubs. Cmon Donna, Gav and Fishball, what are you guys waiting for?

My understudy finally arrived. I'm starting to hand over my stuff, although it's still around 2 months plus before my very own ORD, but i'm already soaking myself in ORD mood. I'm feeling more and more moodless to work. I'm just slacking my time away as time slowly ticks by, closer and closer....to....ORD.....80 more absolute days as of today. Come more friends, countdown with me!

Breathless..

Coughing, coughing and still coughing....the air is there yet it's so hard to breathe it. I had so much difficulty in breathing, especially when i'm lying down on the bed trying to sleep. Be thankful that you are still breathing well when you are reading this...because it has once again made me realized how precious it is to be able to breathe smoothly.

I just want to get well soon......

Champions League Flop

It shocked me. I woke up wee hours in the morning to catch the match live. Liverpool was my team that night. Throughout the whole match, it was simply of no doubt that they were the stronger team. Chelsea couldn't performed to their standards, time and time again, they just got their possesion taken over. Total shots on target is the obvious proof of showing who's boss. But i simply can't believe in dying moments of the game, Liverpool actually conceded an own goal after leading one goal up for near one whole half. With just 20 seconds to go, and with lots of Liverpool celebrating what they thought would be a definite win, an own goal was conceded by Liverpool. Chelsea should seriously count themselves lucky. I fear that Man Utd would have to faced Chelsea should both teams qualify for the Final.

I'm anticipating the match later. Hopefully, they won't disappoint me...

Weekend Fun III

My weekend was great. We went to caught a movie that was well praised by my Staff Sergerant - Definitely Maybe. It's a romance comedy i supposed. Three actress who starred in the show were pretty, especially April i thought. Lots of twists and turns in the movie which i didn't really expect at all. It's some sort of guessing game for the young girl in my opinion.

(Ryan Reynolds stars as Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad in the midst of a divorce when his 10-year-old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. Will's story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the presidential campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as an idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women. Will hopelessly attempts a "gentler" version of his story for his daughter and changes the names so Maya has to guess who is the woman her father finally married. Is her mother Will's college sweetheart, the dependable girl next door Emily (Elizabeth Banks)? Is she his longtime best friend and confidante, the apolitical April (Isla Fisher)? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist Summer (Rachel Weisz)? As Maya puts together the pieces of her dad's romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it's definitely never too late to go back...and maybe even possible to find a happy ending.)


There's this touching scene which really holds a deep impression in me. The part whereby the father finally revealed to his daughter on what she used to strongly disbelieve - the happy ending. It's really touching even on how her daughter is bent in helping her dad find his true love as well....Nice show i must say...

After the movie, i've done another of my 'first time'. It's my first time having a buffet as supper. Having skipped dinner on purpose with the intention of trying out the Sakae Sushi Supper Buffet. I'm not a huge fan of Sushi especially.




The coin appeared on the head side and it's Sakae Sushi for us. There were already a queue when the buffet is only going to start in like 5 mins time. Thanks to my Kiasuness, we were the 2nd to enter. I aimed at only eating unagi sushi and ebi because i don't really fancy others much. But the menu tempted me even more. I ended up trying out even more sushi and others side orders.

The Peach Juice With Nata de Coco

Fried Scallop

GyoZa, best of the night

Fried Salmon Neck..

My favourite Unagi Sushi

Our Favourite!!

Tempura Kanji

The manager made a mistake and gave us this free red plate - Unagi Sushi

I took the rice out and ate only the Unagi instead...

Sashimi!

Free Dessert - Lychee and Mango Moshi

Before we finally end the buffet with watermelon...

Dining at Sakae Sushi is a good experience. With the click of the mouse, you can choose what you want to order, click it and they'll deliver it to you. Efficient i must say, but i remember a few of my orders went missing somehow...The whole buffet crippled us. We were made so full that we can't walked straight.....but it was a satisfying meal...

Started on a new game recently, it's called Warriors Orochi. An action fighting game. Its graphics is cool and nice, with special effects each time you execute a move. The storyline allows you to follow the whole game through. Unlock special abilities and characters in order to further complete stages after stages....Cmon Donna, i'm waiting...



Blame 'THEM' For His Injury

I heard of this bad news. He was my bunk mate, once my so called buddy, then we went on to the same camp and are still colleagues. Didn't expected that bad news. Even though i wasn't sure of the seriousness of his injury, but i know it wasn't something that can be taken lightly off. The mentioning of the word 'wheelchair' aches my heart. He was doing his guard duty when this thing happens. I asked around and got nothing of it. This wasn't the first injury i heard of when people from my camp are performing guard duty. It got me so angered that at times i asked, what are we doing? Getting ourselves injured in the midst of serving our country? Is it all worth it? The focus of safety and importance of it, the countless times of stressing of safety aren't enough to really ensure everything goes well?

Let's just hope he gets well soon....and hope for my guard duty tomorrow to be peaceful and smooth

Jailed for Staring

(http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080418/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_italy_staring;_ylt=AmhATjFJkZpY6Iw9H.UwtxztiBIF)

A very interesting link. A man was actually convicted and sentenced to jail imprisonment. Reason? For staring at a women. Explaination for the sentence wasn't not mentioned but it's obvious why. However, i don't remember that any rule in Singapore law has such weird forbiddence. If there is, then lots of Singaporeans would have been sentenced to jail imprisonment.

I can't forget the countless times i have encountered such situations before with my own eyes. Usually, it's those foreign workers, if not, it would have been those uncles which big eyes oogling each time a scandily woman walks by or stands near them.

I can still clearly remember on the train one day, whereby there's this China man (don't ask me how i know he's a Chinaman, i just knew it, they all have got the same features somehow) was intensively staring at the girl beside him. Then, the girl was still sleeping, her attire isn't really revealing from a far look of it, but perhaps this 'deaperate for ice-cream' Chinaman is really desperate for a nice view of what he's missing. When the girl woke up, i thought the Chinaman would turned away, pretending that he hasn't done anything, but i was wrong. He continued his pevertic actions and it got the lady so uncomfortable then she got up and walked off. Ohh, as she walks away, the Chinaman didn't even set his eyes off her at all...Gosh....for such a person in Italy, perhaps he'll be sentenced to death?

Patapon!

At last, I've completed Patapon -the very first PSP game I've ever completed. So now, i'm in search of nice PSP games, Warriors Orochi caught my eyes. Hopefully, it didn't disappoint me.

Lousy Medical Officer

All thanks to Dear, i'm able to feast my eyes once again on the very much missed big big screen. It's been ages since i last watched a movie, and thanks again, we didn't wasted our pair of free movie tickets. However, it's another show that bores us except from some funny scenes.

We watched 'Virgin Territory'. It's supposed to be a romantic comedy. I did get some of its funny parts but certainly nothing romantic about it. Apart for the ending whereby the actor and actress did get together in the end, other than that, it's just plain boredom.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally went to consult the medical officer today. Indeed he's aren't of much help, not even to mention the medicine being prescribed to me. I needed antibiotics, and that's what they lack of. But at least i got what i wanted, the miraclous inhaler....meanwhile, i shall continue my daily dosage of ventolin cough syrup...

Suffocating..

I should have expected it. The condition is so similar to that of 4 years ago. I'm starting to cough endlessly. Breathing seems harder than ever. Self-medication doesn't helps. The lifting up of the pillow doesn't helps. The drinking of gallons of hot/warm water doesn't helps. I'm getting my inhaler from my friend tomorrow. I don't want to return to that thing again. It's something i haven't used for years and i seriously hate to touch it again. But it seems so unbearable that i have to break this spell.

I'll be consulting the medical officer from Maju Medical Centre tomorrow, hopefully it'll turn out good and he can prescribe me with some cough syrup that would cure my cough so that i won't have difficulty breathing again. I've tried so many cough syrups and none seem to worked. I'm so tired yet so suffocated...

The Fray - My New Addiction

I'm totally addicted to The Fray. Perhaps it's just those few songs - 'Over My Head (Cable Car)', 'Look After You', 'How To Save A Life' etc...I've known of them just last year. Surprisingly, i took another level of interest in them just days ago and it brought me to a new level - Addiction. I could listen to their songs over and over again.

And so i went on to check out the lyrics of those song, all their lyrics were quite well written actually, full of meaning to evoke your emotions. I 'wikiped' them and found out more. Curiosity kills the cat and in this case, i'm fully satisfied and it killed my heart literally. Their music videos posted on youtube, especially 'How To Save A Life', surprisingly has 11 millions over view counts. They aren't popular in Singapore, of course i'm comparing their popularity with the likes of those like that of ColdPlay, GreenDay etc...but in America and Europe especially, their albums were selling like hotcakes and they are darn famous and popular there, with their concert tickets sooo hot and in demand.

I would die for a concert of theirs. And if they were to come to Singapore, i'm sure to be there to let them kill me 'LIVE'. Meanwhile, check out this song embedded in my blog...Hope you like it...

- The Fray - Over My Head (Cable Car) -
I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger
I could disengage
Say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

A Week Of Ordeal

I'm recovering well, at least for now. I'm still crossing my fingers, hoping nothing will happen, especially when tomorrow is the day i got my unlucky weekend guard duty.

I can still remember the last time i fell so sick, then, i was 19. I could remember how many days i lied on that very bed, consult the same old doctor and Sinseh as well. It was really tough passing those days, so much so that i had phobia for fever. Every little sickness I've ever since, i would almost relate it to fever. Thermometer then turned my best friend and worst enemy since then. I dared not imagine how i would have suffered again if it ever happens to me again and in the end it did, on the fatal Monday, 7 April 2008.

It all started on Sunday morning. I woke up to find myself having a sore throat. I can always remember how my mother would warned my against sore throat. Sore throat is the initial cause of all the unnecessary and troublesome upcoming sickness. Yet, i turned a blind eye and deaf eye on that very precious piece of advice as i would have think of it now.

All that potato chips, fried carrot cake, chili and roasted duck certainly didn't help, even though i constantly quenched herbal tea down my throat. My thought is just to eat what i love, eat to pass time and of course, cutting down on those isn't the first thing on my mind at all.

Monday came and i knew it's here. I kind of expected it but i never knew it would be that serious. Flu welcomed me in the morning. I was irritated by it. The constant rubbing, wiping and sneezing got me into a state of frustration as i patiently wait for the time to past as my exam is just hours away. Popped a flu medicine and off i went to school. Flu got serious by the time i reached school, not forgetting the constant 'sandy' feeling at my throat. The sore throat got worse. Those leftovers Strepsils from the Genting trip didn't helped at all.

Halfway through the exam, i felt more cold than ever. I had earlier prepared a jacket, yet it didn't helped at all. It seems as though i'm doing my papers in the Arctic. I can still remember how my nose keep running like tap water dripping out from the tap and on several occasion, it almost did drip like water onto the papers. Ewww!

I had to tilt my head slightly, causing great discomfort to my neck while trying hard to resist the drowsiness from the flu medicine i took earlier on. I finished the papers and by Evening, i can confirmed that I'm already having fever. My forehead's warm while my neck's hot. When i fetched Dear to school, it was already raining and that certainly make things worse for me.

I went home and eat my dinner. I turned in early that night, with the intention of consulting the doctor the next morning. Just the night before, I'm sleeping with a sore throat and a night later, I'm sleeping with mild fever, blocked nose and a more serious sore throat.

Consulted the doctor and i regretted consulting him. I regretted not consulting my family doctor @ Choa Chu Kang Edinburgh Clinic. This doctor diagnosed me briefly and prescribed me with medicine that doesn't even tally with what the nurse or rather clinic assistant said. Feeling too sick, i ignored and headed home. Popped the antibiotics, fever medicine and downed the cough syrup and i went to get my rest. Temperature that morning was around 37.8 degree Celsius.

I felt cold and nothing else but coldness. I was shivering even though the blanket totally covered me. I slept through the early part of the afternoon and when i woke up, my temperature had gone up - 38.3 degree Celsius. Mother suggested me changing the medicine and i took it, by nightfall, nightmare came. I'm experiencing a disaster. My temperature peaked at 39.2 degree Celsius. My forehead, palm, body, neck...almost everywhere was hot. Parents got worried, i panicked whereas my brother stood still, commenting here and there, obviously not making things better. I'm having such a high fever that I'm experiencing a severe headache and my eyeball was in pain. Then, my thought was only 'am i dying?', 'will my fever make me blind'? I was so scared. I suggested going to see another doctor, but my family doctor wasn't in. I became more scared. Dear was worried than ever, like those ants on a hot pan.

By then, Dad was already beside me, constantly putting coldly soaked handkerchief over my forehead, face, neck, arm, legs and body. Too many handkerchief on me. I could still remember my dad kept saying in Mandarin when he was putting those handkerchiefs on me - he said 'why so hot....why so hot?' I lied still, too weak and sick to respond.

They relate my fever to what happen 4 years ago and contacted that Sinseh. Dad got his friend to fetch us there. My head is still in pain, my eyeball as well...my body was scorching hot. That Sinseh also mentioned that I'm really hot. She poked needles on my forehead, body, back and soon after, i began sweating. I could feel my temperature had gone down. It did helped. All that blood dripping paid off i thought. My parents let go a sign of relief.

When i was home, i headed for bed to rest and before i turned in to rest, my temperature measured 37.8 degree Celsius. By midnight, it returned back to 38.8 degree Celsius. By then, everybody had already gone to sleep except for my mother. She panicked again. This time round, i reassured her that the temperature will go down, just to relieve her worries...I went to popped 2 normal fever Panadol. In wee hours that day, I'm sweating profusely. I touched my forehead and neck, it wasn't hot at all. I knew my temperature had gone down.

Next morning came, my fever measured a healthy 36.6 degree Celsius. Still i was having cough and sore throat. Mother had woke up early to went to but pearl powder from herbal shop, known to reduce heatiness in body. A mere amount of powder for 30 bucks. Took it right after and my temperature never gone up since then.

Till now, everything was good, except for the cough which is still bugging me now. No cold drinks, no fried food, no chicken, no plenty of yummy stuff for me, at least for now. I paid a price for not controlling what i ate. I recalled and remember I've never stopped eating fried food since last Friday. I have to watch my diet from now on. I don't ever want such a thing to happen to me again. It was really suffering. The wounds from those needles are still on my body.

It's a particular difficult time for me because my papers is today and yet i didn't managed to study much at all. But I'm glad i managed to rush it all yesterday, of course with the help of my Dear as well...

Lots of friends has been concerned for me and I'm thankful and glad that there's still them who's there for me...of course there's also my parents who took care of me so well...my dear who was so worried for me and helped me in my studies...I'm even more surprised when my two bosses send me messages of concern...It's a tough period and I've overcome it...hopefully I'm be fully recovered in no time...

Will VS Ill

Few hours more to exams, here i am blogging away. I've reached my peak, i couldn't hold on any longer. The irritation the sorethroat cause contributed to that, not forgetting the frustrating blocked and runny nose as well.

I've prepared my own part personally, hopefully i'll be able to give my all in the exam battlefield in moments to come.

Sex is Zero 2


Sex is Zero 2 is finally out. I caught the part 1 months ago though the part 1 was released like 6 years ago. After 6 years, Sex is Zero 2 finally returned, with the original same cast.

(Law student Eun-sik and beautiful swimming champion Kyung-ah (Princess Hours' Song Ji-hyo) are a campus couple. But Eun-sik has not been able to get past kissing. Still in pursuit of "getting laid", he lets out his sexual frustration by overly working out at the gym and is now used to taking care of it himself.

On the other had, Sung-kook, a long-time college student and the leader of the school's K-1 fighting club, shares quarters with the members of the girls' swimming club. He freely indulges in his sexual desires with the beautiful girls of the swimming club.

After learning about Eun-sik's troubles, Sung-kook sets out to help Eun-sik get what he wants the most. But even with Sung-kook's guidance, Eun-sik experiences one disaster after another, and even gets mistaken for a pervert. As Eun-sik is preoccupied with finding ways to sleep with Kyung-ah, a new guy enters the picture, Kyung-ah's childhood sweetheart. Not only could Eun-sik not find ways to sleep with Kyung-ah, he might end up losing her altogether. )

Sadly, Dear wasn't able to watch because she's not 21 yet. So any 'adult' interested to watch this movie with me??

Tired..

I hate this feeling. I felt so restless. I'm not a heavy sleeper, i sleep less than 5 hours on average. Yet, whenever i'm done with guard duty, i always feel as though i need to sleep a full 7-8 hours before i feel myself. I'm not done with sleeping and energizing myself yet, but i had to wake up, to study for exam. This perhaps is just a little sacrifice i made . Not only that, perhaps to add on, the temporary stop of my new hobby - learning card tricks. Plus, i have to reject my friends when they asked me out, keep myself away from this very computer i'm facing now. Studying at home can be a distraction, especially when you let it got the better out of you.

I found a good place to study - SIM. Anyway, Dear is having lessons there, so i made the effort to use that as an 'excuse' to go there and study and it's really a good place, so good that i got Don to join me in it, hopefully, he'll have the same sentiments as i do.

Not a good week in office. Firstly, i was given EXTRAS for something i didn't even know it was wrong. Nobody mentioned to me that the rules has changed, and worse enough, it was a god damn corporal giving me those EXTRAS. Luckily, i managed to get my other colleagues into bringing this absurd matter up the higher ranking officers. My OSM got our heart burning issue settled. EXTRAS were cancelled, that god damn corporal was told off and it was all sunshine again.

My colleagues in my department are going to ORD soon. They got me so envy. I'm just waiting for the Bangkok trip to come and it's counting down for me. I've already had the intention to look for jobs in May, by then i should decide when am i going to study but it won't be that early as i speculate.
