I have been reading a book "What Got You Here Won't Get You There" by Mark Reiter.. I'm only on the first few chapters. On a certain chapter He touched on the issue where Credits were given based on what we do, neglecting what we Did not do instead.

He suggests instead of creating a To-Do List, we should start a "To-Stop" list.. And I figured the best place to compose my list would be right here! So here I am....



My To-Stop List as of 21082011

1) Stop going to Sleep later than 12nm.
2) *Stop Criticizing/blaming others.. No matter how much they actually deserve it, because criticizing ain't changing anything.
3) *Stop snacking!

List is not completed and will constantly be growing.
* = never should this be committed under any circumstances.

Yesterday's interview was pretty smooth.. I'm glad I prepared myself for most of the questions the interviewers shot at me and I feel that I handled them relatively well, at least well enough for me to be short-listed. :) Now all that's left is to settle some paperwork and I'll be ready for work!

Mei came down to my block for a chat that lasted until 2am. As usual, the contents of her words were almost fully about her relationship life. About a month ago, She suffered a bad breakup, whenever we met up for a drink, She would be pouring her sorrows to me. I allowed that. Afterall, she got the right to have some time to grief. Until recently she became infatuated with another guy, so now she would be talking to me for hours and hours about this guy with his group of friends. And she's so affected by every little facet, like a delayed SMS or a simple touch on her arm can lead her thinking of a thousand and one questions and possibilities. And it's really getting on my nerves.

I've made no intention to disguise my disinterest in her relationship affairs. But she just couldn't stop rhapsodizing about her love life, and she's not even in a relationship with the guy yet!
I'm irked not because of her relationship life, but because she has lost her sense of purpose in life.
So I told her how I felt, I told her the Jurlene I knew was someone knew what she wanted in life, someone who would be talking to me about her plans for further studies and career, and we would sit down and discuss, although vision blurred by that bottle of whiskey but clear as sky in the heart. Not someone who let her whole life revolve around some guy, so easily affected and swayed by a simple probe, and definitely not someone who can spend hours and hours telling me about every single insignificant details between her and some guy that I never even met.

She admitted that she was letting her life governed by a myth and she knew it is not right. I could see she genuinely understood what I was articulating to her. I hope she really spends some time to think about this. If the next time I see her she's still acting the same way, I would probably give her a punt to the skull!

Nah I'm not gonna do that.....

3 years... It took me 3 years to write a new post. I did not create a new blog because I do not intend for anyone to read all these posts. Didn't even bother to change my "About Me". Neither am I here to blog about my personal life like how I wake up every morning and took a huge dump. Basically I am just here to write.

I've made a commitment to myself that I will spend at least an hour a day to brush up on my English language skills, be it written or spoken. I come from Singapore, A place where perhaps the most common language is called Singlish. It's considered English no doubt, but often mixed with direct translation from our mother-tongue language.

For Eg:

你 几点 来
You what time coming??


你 要 吃 什么
You want eat what?

我 九点 要 去 学校
I 9 O'clock want go school

see what I meant? And the most ridiculous part is these has been so customary that it became the right way to converse.

I am not aspiring to be a writer or a journalist. But I know I definitely have to do something about my English. My command of English is to sub-standard to the point that I spent more than Half an hour to write the above content which I made use of Google, Dictionary, Thesaurus and Wikipedia more than 10 times.

I shall continue to write as much as possible in near future. but that is it for today. I have an interview in the afternoon and I am going to do some research and prepare myself. All the best to me!

Feeling ptrtty restless despite the fact that I am actually getting more sleeps than my usual days..

Didn't really felt like schooling on Wed so I headed down to the Polyclinic to "buy" myself an M.C. For a moment I thought that the polyclinic was having GSS as the place was so crowded like thou theres a 50% off on doctor consultations and medication. After everything bla bla bla went down to Novena to find Joan she was having meeting with her regional brand manager that look like forever.. Finally her like in this fucked-up company is over and she's joining Cotton On Body. How I wish they'd hire males..hahaha.. Spent nearly $300 on a crumpler haversack that could fit a whole baby in..LOL! but ok la quite useful.. Finally met Ming Kiat and Shuang2 at Suntec After KTV session and we had NYNY.. It's been long since I've felt M.K's gayness.. and It's still very entertaining.. And he said I have panda eyes!! gosh...The Cheesy chicken was great, very........ Cheesy, just the way I love it.. haha...

Holy Mudda Fuck I think I'am the first ever dumbass to crash a computer during MP-SIP in the history of TP. I tried to download cd-keygen for Czero which ended up as fatal viruses and Spywares. My computer was crashed within minutes and all that's left is a blank screen whenever I tries to boot it.

The Crashing isn't really a big problem. I've got all my datas in my HDD. Punishment shouldn't descend on me (I hope) the com was so dead to the extent that I don't think it can be saved without having to reformat the whole hard disk. which means all evidence should be cleared. If not I shall wash my ass clean and wait.

But that doesn't deny the fact that I'am such a dumbass. I have no idea recently why have I done that much stupid things. Last week I pulled a fucking major dumbass stunt which I do not wish to talk about. And here I am doing another lame'ass trick.

What the fuck is wrong with my life??
