My tarot reading on Iphone

I think I am crazy. For a person who doesn't believes in tarot cards, i actually went to try it. On an Iphone somemore. It gave me ambiguous result so I could not fault it. Since I can't fault it, it led me into believing that it could be true. I asked for love/romance. Shutted my eyes, shuffle the deck by shaking the iphone and randomly shuffle the deck by swiping my finger on the screen. My result was as follows.






There is actually an particular order to read it. Past. Present. Future. Environment. Unconscious. Solution. Conculsion.


XV The Devil
Reverse position
You can leave self obsession behind you by confronting the feelings of jealousy.
MEANING:
The card indicates a heart which is filled with greed, selfishness, and jealousy. It shows a vicious circle of egocentric behaviour which can then bring resentment and anxiety. One needs to look carefully and honestly at these feelings rather than sink deeper into them.


V The Hierophant
Normal position
Your heart is brimming with warmth and compassion. You can reach out to others.
MEANING:
This card symbolizes empathy and a gentle excess of kindness. It can suggest traditions of knowledge and the moral codes that we need in order to function in our culture. Acts of care and tolerance and understanding toward one another.


IX The Hermit
Reverse position
You will find the key that opens the door to matters of the heart in a relationship
MEANING:
The card indicates that one has become too isolated and withdrawn from people around them. The person is unable to share thoughts and experiences and has become detached. They may begin to feel inferior. The card may also indicate that there is a secret to be revealed and this weighs heavily upon the person.


I The Magician
Reverse position
This card brings indecision and uncertainty
MEANING:
This card symbolises that a cloud of insecurity and indecision has descended over ones creative energy. The card indicates that the power remains but something is holding it back the energy is blocked. A project may fall apart and you may lose heart.


VI The Lovers
Normal position
The charms of love and admiration attach themselves to you, and you can sense that good luck is winging its way to you.
MEANING:
This card indicates the beginning of love and the arrival of good luck. Happiness and sparkle clothe this new love, for which one need not search for it will find you. This card brings a surge of sexual attraction which may also become the simple charm of love.


XIX The Sun
Reverse position
You should act with courage and take time to reflect upon a situation or event.
MEANING:
This card symbolises a loss of clarity. The energy and power remain but they are clouded over. Perhaps you have only reflected upon the surface of the problem that has arisen. You may be exaggerating your feelings. You need to pause, turn back a little and look at the deeper meaning.


X Wheel of Fortune
Reverse position
Even if there is misfortune, it eludes you because you cannot control the situation, it unavoidable.
MEANING:
This card indicates that an unavoidable occurrence arises. It may not be for the best. Perhaps a misunderstanding between two persons, somebody being patronised. The situation may deteriorate but it is not the fault of the person. It is just the way the luck has fallen.

Anyone happens to know how to read it?

Lok lok at Taman Sentosa

LOK LOK!!! Weeeee....

After craving it for so long, I finally got the chance to go in and eat again. A very enjoyable trip yesterday night with buddies to Taman Sentonsa, Johor. Really, I think it was the companionship that made the whole experience better. We talk cock again in Qing He's car with Jiayi and Raymond, you know those topic that only certain friends will understand. They know you, and they laughs at your stupid jokes. Genuinely.

My favorite Lok Lok at Taman Sentosa. We were lucky to be early so not much crowd.
I mean its certainly not for hygiene conscious people. The pot of water was shared with other stranger and the indigent although fresh but exposed to the busy streets and stuff. Dust and bacteria all, you know. Its dirty street food, but we don't care. That's the whole reason that made it best. Our body are catered for dirty food :)

Price wise is not considered cheap by local standard. While you indulge one after one and talk with friends at the same time. You easily forgets how many you ate and it could add up to a lot.

Whao, yesterday we ate a total of 60 riggit. Average 15 per pac so roughly convert back to SIN is around 5 plus.

The mushroom simply no joking matter. Its the best of all that night. The uncle deep dried the mushroom and sprinkle pepper on top. Its crispy outside and juicy inside. OMG OMG OMG...

Too bad I don't owe a car, if not I can go in as and when I like :(

Disorder in the American Courts

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

WITNESS : The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.

ATTORNEY : Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS : No.
ATTORNEY : Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS : No.
ATTORNEY : Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS : No.
ATTORNEY : So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS : No.

3 of my motor and no more motor for me.

Despite my father's strong disapproval for me to ride motor, I still went ahead to take my Class 2B license.

That period when I was 18, all I wanted was the freedom to travel on Singapore road, my way. Are we not tired sitting on other people's transport? Every teenager wants freedom and motorcycling is the cheapest way to get around it.

No more excuses of mid night charges when friends ask you out of supper.

However, taking a license isn't down right easy. You need perseverance, patient, passion and efforts to travel a long way to the driving center. I didn't persevere, it took me a good 3 years to finally attain my class 2B. My motivation? I think my camp Ang Mo Quee was so ulu and troublesome for my to take bus or MRT. That's why I had to get my own transport.

I could not tell you my excitement when I first got my Class 2B. So you think you pass your Class 3 only, you got your euphoria. Entirely different okie. Do you really own your car that you are driving.

NO!

Most of them were borrowed from parent. Even if your parent brought you a car, its different. You are obligated to follow their ground rules, curfews, and you can't modify your car if your parent don't think that its safe. Although they gave it to you but its not entirely yours.

But for me, buying and maintaining a motor is within my own capability. Its my property, my asset and exclusively, my procession.

So after I got my 2B, I went straight to buy a motor.

This is my first motor, Honda Wave 125. Its my baby.


Soon after I also did sticker work to my bike. I didn't buy off shop where most of the people did. I custom made my own sticker and its exclusively representing myself. Many people incl. YS thinks that my stickers are childish, stupid and ugly. But I don't care and I am proud.

One good things are, people recognize me by my sticker :)

Until I get tired of it, I went to buy Honda Phantom 200cc. Its' bigger capacity and bigger compartment was its plus point however it was compromised by agility and the ease to wriggle through traffics. It served me for 5 days and I regretted buying Phantom. I sold immediately and got back a "Kup Kia".


Yamaha Sparkz 135. I never really did love this bike. No more than my honda wave even with its better capacity. By the way, its out of my life now. I do not want to be a motorist anymore. No more bad hair day, I could jell my galipo everyday and not let it ruin by my stupid helmet.

2 more years and I am going to get my own car. I hope so.

Sorry no cure.


Overly apologetic people use apology as a defensive mechanism. After all, if you are really really sorry about what you had done, how can anyone be madder than they should be? They apologied and you sure forgive them right?

Wrong! Overly apolopetic people are irritating.

Apologetic people willing, without question always put themselves in a situtation that they had said something or done something wrong. Inevitablely breaking down their self esteem and made them insecure.

Apologing over almost everything make you feels you can't do anything better of what you perceived had done wrong, or simply perceived that everyone else thinks that you had done something wrong. Being overly perceptive towards other's opinion, leads you believing you are not worth so much and apology is the only correct thing to do. Or maybe to help them get out of awkward situations by simpy admitting faults, its the easiest way out, right? So much so, we wondered. Is it genuine?

Everyone has a different ways of doing things, different approve and different opinion. You way of doing thing isn't wrong just because people disappove it, we don't need to seek approval or sympathy. Show people we at least tried to challenge life, retaliation and confronation. End up you might be the person who is right while all others are wrong.

Face the reality, stand up for yourself. Apology is not always the best policey.

An invitation from NUS 2010

Its all a long waited acknowledgement from the local most outstanding and prestige University which stands to the test of time. National University of Singapore had sent me a surprise parcel that comes in a brown papered envelop, thick enough to hide a double cheese burger. Exaggerating of course.


Even before I attempts to open it up, I expected it to be an acceptance letters. Not being complacent here but more or less I reckon that they wouldn't be bother to send out a thick parcel just to inform you that you had been rejected, along with some freebies or coupons to lighten up your spirit. That will be stupid and not their style. A oldest school in Singapore are of attitude. Never hear them say YES, you have to take its as a NO.


Happily opens the package.

WHAT!!!! I had been offered into Environmental Engineering. That's was a shock for me. I never see that coming. A course that contain 90% AAA/A or GPA 3.9 equivalent had wanted me in their course. Its a double edged sword. I couldn't decide.


Why Environment Eng?

Civil is dry and energy draining. All boy course. Furthermore it also helps me in my future bond with Sembcorp Utilities (Water/Energy recycling) related. My favorite part is the opportunity to speak more English. Or force to speak more. Most importantly, my Nemesis wouldn't choose this course which is a intellectual challenging choice. Oh, yes. This is an insulting statement. Facesmack.


Why not Environment Eng?

Being at the 10 percentile group. One can't help but to feel the pressure. Lots of catching up to do plus my bad experience with geek that had no life, always indulge themselves 24/7 to projects. Mundane lifestyle all over again.

Career prospect for Env. Eng. Rock bottom! I can't believe the result for employment rate, bottom of the list with a huge gap. EWT student be wary. Not only the market appeal is small, they pay slavery. They studied their shit off the course, constantly under pressure and competition. Earning them in a position to earn the least among all engineering peers. A daily wanking dude from civil course earns much much more. It amuses me. LOL


Should I accept the offer to (Bachelor of Engineering) Environmental Engineering?

So right now, probably I will wait till NTU's reply. I also put Env. Eng prior to Civil for my choice of course. Bad move.

Updated

NTU did send me an offer on 15/04. Admission to Environmental Engineering 2nd year.
Now the problems come. I want to APPEAL!!!

5 days of misery in DE

Key note of the day. I quitted my job as a drafter from DE consultant.

I am sick and tired of the job, probably also due to the environment that I am in. People kept to themselves, the painful silence. Only clicking and typing sound were presence in the vicinity of my office. Isolated in my cell with claustrophobia out to hunt me. Done!

Stated in the contract that I have to give a 2 weeks prior notice upon tendering resignation. I speak to the director to forfeit my pay for the past few days so that I can leave like immediately. It was that bad. Of course they agree, but put it in a way like they were reluctant. BS...

Alright, need to find a job real quickly now. But what kind of job should I be looking?
  • I prefer interaction with people. My way of keeping my sanity going.
  • I prefer tech savvy orientated. That's my forte.
  • I prefer sales. I am persuasive and chatty.
I think I go look up some hand phone sale promoter. I think I am born to do this. I don't know just that the interest is so strong. Anywhere along the line will be fine. A repair man, a data entry for telecom or telephone operator. Anything. As long as it is a high spirited company. Not so dead and dry like DE.. Probably colleague that jio to club after work. Drink, drank and then drunk.

Help me keep a look out.

Black Iphone 3G 16GB

I have sleep problem for this week. Insomnia so to speak. I stay awake till 4 plus and then takes a little rest on bed, then for some reason I wake up at 6. Either because of bad dream or bad posture. Weather is hot and humid too.

On first night, I wake up because I had a dream of me watching a horror movie that fright me out of my bed. It was so real and I thought I was actually watching a real horror show. So I got amazed that there is horror show that actually made me scared. So I wake up and start to search for horror movie of all time. I watched a couple of all time scariest movie including "The Shining", "Child's Play" and "Silence of the Lamb". But all was no good. I think as we grew older and older, experience in life kicks in all the time and I begin to be very rational. And it just leaves no room for imaginations.

2nd night which was last night, I jump out of bed after 2 hours sleep again. And suddenly had an impulsiveness to buy an iphone. FYI, I just brought LG Arena 1 day ago @$185. I terminated my FD and run to TPY with YS to hunt for the cheapest from the 32569874 shop that sell handphone. Finally settle in a black Iphone 3G 16gb, mint condition, full box full accessory for $650. I traded in my LG Arena for fucking $200. I earned $15 overnight from Arena. Crazy right? No... Because I know how to buy low sell high.

Earning of $15 from buy and sell

32gb on black Iphone is actually a plastic case

Why is it so hard for me to get my 8 hours of sleep. I should really really go and get a comfy bed.

How is bed looks. I like the 3 drawers below really appealing for me. I can store stuff in it while keeping my room neat and tidy. Additionally....

The bed had a hidden frame that can extend nicely into a double bed. Going for $107 on ebay. Wooooo.

Gonna get get
Gonna get get
Gonna get get get get get......

4 pointer sucks

My good buddy did it, and I am so envy. His 2nd semester got all AD for all modules including IS. Its getting boring.

I wished mine was so good. Regretfully, I had no chance with the gold medalist. Hoping for silver but from what I see, it is very unlikely. But all in all, I am still happy with myself with the overall result compared to what I had set 3 years ago. They say aim for the moon and you may get the star. Eh, which one is further away? Haha confused.

My case was over, don't worry friends. To those who knows whats going on, I had gotten over it and now looking at one less thing to worry about.

Today went to people's park with YS to look for LG arena. He complained that I can convince him to shop in this boring complex for more than 2 hours. Haha

$185 for my LG arena, mint condition however the firmware seems to be a bit not stable. Crushes several times and auto restart itself. He said its pointless for me to keep beating around bushes and get the Iphone once and for all. I agree that Iphone is unchallenged at this moment, budget wise still too steep for me.

LG Arena KM900

My Work Station

Auto CAD drafter used to be a job that I fantasize in school. I thought it is cool and you get to stay in the office enjoy the air con. But it can get very dry, somemore my colleague all like engrossing myself in work. Nobody to talk to in office. Boring. Contemplated quitting.

This photo is taken with my Canon 590Is. Intended to compare itself with Lumix dbl A battery camera... :) Yeah... 2 more weeks, CLP coming home loh

Magic the Gathering




First 2 rare card I got from my first starter pack and deck respectively. Greatly inspired by Lhurgoyf then, and I am extremely proud killing my friends in one hit with average to 30 damages. When we first play our deck tend to contain mostly creatures.

Icy Manipulator is useless in Ice Age version, which compared to Beta which doesn't required tapping of cards...


Can you still remember the first rare card you got from your booster pack?
