Do u still remember your primary school song?
haha, i'm pretty sure very few of you can remember the song which you had spent 6 years of your life singing during Assembly. I still can recall the melody..and erm, just two lines of lyrics:
here we are at school to study and to play..
:
(blah, blah, blah..)
:
River Valley, River Valley, River Valley Primary School...
Everytime when i am on my way to Great World City, i would take a few glances of this school of mine. Memories kept flowing back as i pictured myself playing on the field many years ago, the cement track, with only a single lane, was where i used to run the 1.6km for nafa.
The basketball courts behind the field was the place where students had our Assemblies, as a 'senior prefect' (ahem!..lol..) i have to assemble early before/after school to rise/lower the national flag.
See the small cabin at the left corner of the picture(above)? That's our Canteen A, and here's a picture of Canteen B:
The small room at the back of the Canteen was for the school band. Every friday after school, we have to tolerate the noisy drums and beats while having lunch. Canteen B was famous for its laksa, stall 1 would sell it on odd days while stall 3 on even days. In order words, most of the students had laksa almost everyday coz both are really GOOD! haha, when we were young, we didn't know what are calories and cholesterol yet.
Food was cheap and cost ard 80cents to slightly more than a dollar for a bowl of noodle soup.
And how can i forget this flight of steps (red arrow pointing) where i fell and fractured my right ankle? Yea, I have to spend 2 miserable months wearing a cast and carry those clutches everywhere!
Last Wednesday i went to Great World City once again, the old sch buildings were demolished and will be replaced by new condominiums where construction has already started. I was really sad to that place in such a state.. =( The new school has moved somewhere else, i am not sure where and didn't bother to find out anyway.
River Valley Primary School. The place where i learnt my first multiplications, divisions, idioms, how to write compositions, reading the first comprehensions, my first experience using a pen to do my homework (haha!)...etc.
And the 6 years of wonderful memories at this school will always stay in my heart forever.

I spent my long weekend reading this book 'The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists' by Neil Strauss and would like to introduce to u guys..
The book is about how the author transform himself from an AFC (Average Frustrated Chump) to PUA ( Pickup Artists) and finally a PUG ( Pickup Guru).
In case some of you did not know, PUA are men who use effective techniques to charm women or get them in bed. This usually happen in clubs, bars or strip clubs where these PUA frequent, they would select their targets and use their own methods to start off a conversation with women, get their numbers and having s*x with them if they were interested.
Sound interesting huh? Well, these PUA really exist and this book is not a fiction!! The author, Neil, was asked to investigate the community of PUA where these men would trade techniques and held lessons for AFC to hook women.
Eventually Neil got to know one of the 'guru' named Mystery, a magician who charges $2,250 for a weekend pickup workshop ( i've done some research and the price has rose up to $3000+ already..haha). Neil attended his workshop and became one of his brightest students, he learnt techniques, how to identify IOI ( indicator of interest) and many other tricks. He uses the name, 'Style' to hide his real identity and spent 2 years with the PUA.
This is a really entertaining book and i'm pretty sure guys can learn a few techniques from it. However, i personally feel that these techniques only apply to Westerners as they are more open-minded. Well, its up to you to decide after reading it.....

Few weeks ago, kor went for the Lee Kong Chian Scholarship Interview. This Scholarship is only given to SMU students and only 50 students out of the school cohort can get to enjoy this scholarship.
He went thru 3 rounds of interview in total and i think the final 2 lasted 6 hrs each..YES, 6 hours and i'm not kidding..
Just a moment ago, he came back with this piece of gd news.
He has gotten the SCHOLARSHIP!!! YAY!!
Mum & Dad definitely will be beaming in joy once they heard this:
-the Scholarship means his study fees will be FULLY paid.. 2 degree courses, do the math!
-it covers all his expenses for his university exchange programme
-on top of that, he will receive a sum of $5000 every year..no bonds or anything...so 4 yrs he'll get $20,000 free?
gosh, i'm really speechless!
No one will have to worry about paying the double-degree course which SMU is offering kor..
and he can live like a king with the money he gets every year..!
another good thing is, those students who has been accepted for this scolarship need not worry about getting a job in the future coz many companies will be offering them jobs..
woa..i'm so proud of kor, he never disappoint us with his studies..claiming scholarships in sec sch, jc.. and now university.
now my turn..
will i even get into an University?
sometimes, i really wonder...
do me & my bro share the same parents?

Few days ago, i received a sms from a person called Q whom she claimed to be an ex-classmate of mine during my 1 month orientation in JJC. I was surprised she still remember me after 2 years since i left that sucky place, but i dun remember who she is..so i have to pretend that i did and replied back a few of her messages.
Yesterday she gave me a call and asked me if i am interested in a part-time job. Ah-ha! now i noe why Q start to msg me huh...u noe all these jobs where u introduce newcomers to a company and u earn extra cash from them, i believe that's why Q decided to contact me n pull me over to the company.
I clearly stated to her that i am not looking for a job. Besides, i have two part-time jobs now and seriously dun need 'lobangs' anymore. But Q did not give up and kept perstering me, saying the job she was introducing is much better than doing waitress and admin ( which i'm doing now).
So i asked her what is the job about and what is so gd abt it?
The answer she gave me was, " hmm..well..u come tml and meet me in the noon den i'll tell u more? "
"Why cannot tell me now?"
Q: " actually its some kinda training u see......its a very good job, realli..come and meet me tml."
" Training?? train in what??"
Q: " Erm...u noe communication skills..."
"huh? okie..since u kept saying its a gd job, why not u tell me wats so gd abt it? " (X3) <--the reason why i said this so many times was becoz she din wanna tell initially and i have to keep asking her over n over.
Q: " hmm..this job can fullfill ur dreams...and u can get what u what.."
"woa..example? and since u mention it can fullfill ur dreams..what dreams have u fullfilled during the job?? "
Q: "for me, i wan to help others and make my parents happy....and this job allow me to do so..so what's ur dream??"
-.-
omg. such a stupid answer..i dun want to tell her my dreams and seriously not even wanting to tok to her anymore...
she is just so plain annoying and no matter how many times i gave her a straight 'NO' and say i'm not interested, she just wun give up!!
arghhh...!!
in the end i have no choice but to 'act' a little more stern, eventually she gave up..
i guess she wun be contacting me again..haha..

Had steamboat with the peeps yesterday at Chin Huat Steamboat in Marina South. We reached the place around 9 and had trouble looking for seats. All 6 of us were desperately looking for a table, basically its because we were all VERY hungry. We were like 6 hungry souls roaming around the place for an empty table.
After we found one, we waited quite a while for staff to clean it up.
The food was almost half-gone and not much varieties left, in short we were there to clear up the leftovers.
The place was smoky and dirty. Food-wise, i suspect they are not fresh as well.
Some may think tt summing up the total bill could have a nice, decent steamboat at home or a bbq instead, but sometimes we are just lazy or too busy to organise one and clean up the mess after that. haha. So for a $12 buffet, we shouldn't be complaining.
I used to love steamboat at Marina South, mainly its because of the crowded atmosphere and outdoor settings which is suitable for gatherings.
However, i did not enjoy the food at all. Every mouthful of food i took i knew its not properly washed, but its either u starve or get stuffed and i choose the latter. haha no choice, really hungry.
I seriously dun think i will want to return to that place again. argh!

Cute isn't it? haha, i saw this cutie @ ntuc sometime ago and was attracted to its packaging..(thats how 'powerful' japanese products are)
unfortunately, taste wise was a huge disappoinment.
i never knew kitkat could taste so horrible..maybe i shouldn't judge anything by its cover next time. haha the previous sentence sound familiar isn't it?
ya, that is what ur girlfriends always advise you on guys ---> not all attactive guys are good so don't judge them by their appearence. after some thoughts, i found what they mention was quite true. so how bout settle for an ugly guy next time?
but just when i was about to change my mindset, i caught a conversation between Rainie Yang & Ah Ya on tv.
Ah Ya: (to one of their guest) not all attractive guys are good, so there's no need to find gd-looking guys next time.
Rainie Yang: but not all the ugly guys are good mah..! so might as well get a good-looking guy.
LOL
