So much of nothingness going on

Recently not much time to blog, because there are so much of a nothingness going on. I seems to be always busy, but busying with something irrelevant and insignificant. I don't really know how to manage my time well.

2 things I cannot manage well, my time and money.

This Jan comm scheme changed, booth got replaced and moral basically rock bottom, so long like almost 2 years, I had difficulty hitting comm. 26th and I had only 19 ntb. FML. Somemore david helped me 2 ntb. Job wise, I am impatiently waiting for CF result for 2016. I didn't put in as much effort and focus as compared to last year, if I didn't manage to get it, blame it on myself. But of course I would like to be in one of them. Finger crossed, hope god bless.

I was lucky too to get promoted to "assistant manager". It something of a concept like a deputy manager but with a catch. We are just same role DS with different job title. albeit slightly better paid. Only slightly. But nonetheless still a recognition for my consistency. Annual income of end year 2015 was out and I got managed to hit above 120k. Time to get my credit reviewed!

Alright, enuf say on my work. Let see hows well we ate for the past one month.


Yup yup, dress up for dinner and took a selfie in the lift.



When to suntec during my lala timing on weekend to eat Pasarbella, we can be staying inside car and watch movie all day. We need to walk a bit of shopping and eat some nice food. We were glad that we choosen some of the best dishes like the wolf burger and shew pork japanese rice. The pork rice was so fragrance with garlic infused poach eggs with corn and chewy tofu. The tofu kinda special because it was fried with special coating that make the outer chewy and crispy. 


Another day we hang out again at Suntec for Hoshino coffee. It was japanese imported coffee, I went there to try what was the gimmick behind it. It was just basically arabic roosted long black served in japanese milk i guess. Nothing fantastic about it. 




Shrimp sandwich, I think I can game enough to make that myself. I think there is avocado. Had been practicing to include avocada in my own salad making. Will update soon about my home cooked meals.


The spaghetti is creamy and I love anything that is creamy. Some wasabi on the grilled salmon and seaweed. I think I can recreate this dish myself.


This is the most famous and recommended dessert of the place. Don't know about the name but it is totally not my cup of dessert. Too sweet and I basically can't find anything recommendable about this dessert. I ate only 1 mouth.




Forgot to post about xiao long mookata at Yishun. He had turn chef from sales and he basically fight at the coffee shop for people to eat the mookata. That the spirit man. Cheap and affordable. Hai now not many time to hang out with good friends like xiao long and brentaline. I didn't even have the time to meet my BFF joyce for the longest time.


Chinese new year is coming. The long awaited break from work. Jan 2016 hit commed!!!!!

My yellow suzuki swift sport 1.6m

Actually i didnt yet post my yellow suzuki for beauty shot. I think today just dedicate one small post for him. 






You are wondering if i stole the picture on car mart. No. Because i had placed it up for sales. The return to innocent. 



2016 resolution & wishlist

It only fair that for my first post of the year to be the one reflect back on my last year resolution. Which I always did year after year. I don't know when but I had a habit to write down my resolution and if you are interested to find out what did I accomplished for the past year these are the link to see them.

year 2015
year 2014
year 2013
year 2012
year 2011 (didn't set)
year 2010
year 2009

Whao, that's persistant I know. I went through all those resolution and I tend to hit almost 50% of the list I want, its really because I am setting myself up for smaller targets. Its comforting to know that targets can be met. Let's review last year resolution like I always did.
  1. Get 120k annual income (almost met)
  2. Lose weight to 72kg (failed)
  3. Going Champion forum (met)
  4. Go Korean and Europe (korea met)
  5. Quit Smoking  (failed)
Year 2015 was not a bad one, albeit year 2014 I was more driven in running for the Champion forum. Well, I did manage to did well in my job and its was a good year as I received award for the outstanding performance it most of the category. 


I reckon and acknowledged that I did a good run for the year and the award was well received. Going to Japan Osaka and Kyoto and its was inspiring and motivating. Of course the next subsequent run I got my ups and downs, didn't do too well as I had lost focus a little, keeping my finger cross that I had in for the next conservative year. 


 This year I got 3 oversea trip, they are Korean trip, CF Japan trip and KL VOE trip. I want to cut short on oversea picture, but I owe Liping a post to share our long due Korean trip post. So I shall post them now, but not limited to these picture. 



Basically the first picture is taken in Seoul and second taken in Jeju island. The full album can be access here. Didn't got the chance to do a full blog review, but I did a video to wrap up, so enjoy.


This year, the most expensive purchase and the one that I regretted is I traded in my old Picanto to Suzuki Swift sport. It is the purchase that increase my liabilities and decrease my asset. Initially bought it for someone :( Because I don't need a car all by myself, there is no need for it seriously. 


Lastly, this year I added 2 darling to my list. Don't misinterpret, I treat all people and things that I like as darling so nothing special when I call them darling. Tobi is my new dog, poodle cross silky and he is so call a "mini toy poodle" breed, well I guess I got conned!


And last but not least my best darling I had for year 2015. She is a friend, a soulmate, a BFF to me whom treat me very very good. I appreciate getting to know her and she will be the best thing happens to me in year 2015. Yeah! good year ahead, that basically wrap up my year 2015.



Lastly, I gonna set goal for year 2016 ahead, akin last year hope I can achieve all of them. Good luck to all whom read my blog, come back for more in year 2016 :) Ciao!
  1. Hit annual income 120k
  2. Save 50k for year 2016
  3. Pass my M5 and M9 paper
  4. Lost weight to 75kg
  5. Do more exercise
  6. Go for more outing
  7. Quit smoking

Gift exchange for Christmas 2015

Christmas eve celebration is very special this year. I did something really stupid. Firstly i brought present for a girl whom had a BF, secondly, I helped a girl to buy present for her BF. Both incident just show that how stupid and moron I can be. But well, I did it anyway. 

This year present I put in the most effort, I hate festive celebration, I hate crowds and the absent of taxi after countdown. Uber should consider extending service for midnight during holiday eve. 

I shopped around for an ideal gift. Its not easy, first i want something that can be used on a daily basis, then it need to be able to replace the one that she already had. So since her bag was getting old, why not. 



Of course exchanging gift should not be so simple without surprises. I plan to surprise her during gift exchange. 

I purposely told her that i had put in a lot of effort in the gift and she will definitely like the gift that i brought. I want to build up her expectation, so she can be more disappointed that way. Subsequently I find something really lame and boring to replace the gift. I found a car diffuser which she had absolutely no use for. I wrap it in a credit card application form, I tried to make it look as rugged as possible. This is to create the roller coaster effect. 




After I finish my "useless" gift, i got her a post card and wrote some really nice and sweet stuff. This is to enhance the whole experience after she unfold the "real" gift. Well. Video speaks a million words. 


Christmas eve by right should go to garden by the bay, but was replace by going to USS. However just got tired and decided to stay home and watch 志在四方2. It may not be the best way to count down Christmas but fuck it. It the accompany!

The sunset is extremely beautiful but only limited to dawn

Love is ironic. While sometime you put in heart and soul into a relationship but then the other person just put in all her effort into another person. This is so typically lame. Sometime when the spark is not right, no matter how hard you try the person will just leave you. Haha. I am really laughing at how stupid it is.

For the past 5 months, I was in love. Deeply and madly maybe is just that thing that I had to work hard for tends to be more precious or it is just the way it is. Most of the time the things you hold the most desperately to is those that you had never had.

This kind of attention had to stop. Its hurting me emotionally, physically and spiritually. It even had affected my job. Now I am slowly getting out of it, how can I judge? By my sales number :) The more I am in love the lesser customer I had. Now my number is climbing because I had shift back my focus to work again. I had became introvert again. Don't like to hang out with anyone. My batteries are low now recharging.

I don't blame anyone because I always believe in going after the one you love rather the one that loves you. Cause giving is better than receiving. At least you love having the feeling of you doing something great to the person you love.

Although I had my fair share of chances, at least that I had been given plenty. I didn't cherish and let us down. Its me. I hate myself for not being the best and I love that I had grew up even more. I know how to handle this kind of stuff in the future. The next one on the list, you are lucky thank to us I will not do the same mistake as I had learnt.

For Christmas 2015. I love having to met you once. We crossed path and I am grateful. If fate will to bring us together again I will love you more and not you slip out of my hand. That for god's defined plan. I bless us all the best while us looking for our future undertaking. Not much I had done but this is the memento I did for us you.

One shot at things, no regret

If life sometime we got one shot at things and if you fucked it up, You are fucked, for good. Period. Not amount of regrets can change things back to the initial stage. I fucked up on the most precious things I valued for the last 5 months. Well. Can't blame anyone.



On the sliver lining, before I part xiao huang, 2 days after that good night I received surprise present from PL. She is such a sweet heart, she say that must be something to symbolise the memorable event. She got me something I really wanted and will use it almost on a daily basis. She remember that I like gift that are practical. XOXO



Even after everything, she still so nice to keep me accompanied for dinner when I am bored, something she will take the effort to travel all the way down to take her yoga class if i work in town. I dun like the office job that she took up, and hope she never leave insurance. Because then, our timing was so matched and we had more time for each other.





Christmas came early for her too. I brought her a shawl, cause I reckon she will be cold in the office and shawl can be tie into lots of pattern and will not get tired easily. Oh. by the way, shawl is 围脖 and its means something when you give it as a present :)


Lastly, I had decided to sell off my xiao huang. I brought it because I want my 4 babies to have a good ride together with me. And if that is no longer possible, I would not want to ride him alone. 触景伤情。I shall end off with positive note. Thanks everything and miss xiao huang and PL.


Me and xiao huang, swift sport


With these kind of money what can be get out of it? Maybe a watch? May a car!!!! Yes. I just upgraded my car. Was really tore between kelisa and swift sport and in the end go with the one with slightly better performance albeit a little bit pricey. Swift sport is one of the top editor choice for one of the year, cannot look too shabby working in my industry. However i really like kelisa riderability and value of money. Too many cool mod for kelisa too. 



Me and NPL went into JB without map and wonder the whole night in seek of car servicing and we were all lost and manage to "stumble" into Taman Sentosa. We were a little baby step closer. Had supper at one of a famous duck kueh tiao near custom. 


Had my swift done my first servicing in the afternoon the next day and we ate bua ku teh beside LS cafe where a lot of singaporean patronised there. Xiao huang also had a good bath looking all smart :)



We brought a lot of malaysian biscuit back for our parent. 

我们相爱吧

Looks like I can't chase a women. I am ashamed to say that I didn't manage to woe the girl I like in my life time. So sad to say that. There is 2 persons that I really put in heart and soul. I always thought that you have to give love to receive love. However when I give love, I got friend zoned. Always!!!


Throw back to age 19, when I met Karen at L****house. She is the first lady I chase in my life. Some of the memory and stuff that happen at that moment is still vivid in my mind. I remember that time when we watched MVP qing ren and the song grew on me.


I know I looked noob when I was 19. And that time my best army friends also like Karen so we both chase together. I reckon that time was I was too passive. Didn't take enough initiative and now of cause she is happily married and I am happy for her. She is my first regret which I cannot become couple no matter how hard I tried.

So as time goes by, I think I need to be more aggressive, more straight forward and honest. Does it work this time round? 

No!! After like 12 years till now I met with someone whom I throw heart and soul again. I was friend zoned. Again.

Let go into commercial first and enjoy the "噢爸什么都可以" song. This is the variety show that we had enjoyed watching together. Albeit half together half watch alone. In the video is 崔始源 also named "O Ba" whom is a rich, tall, built, handsome and gentleman kind of person, of cause whatever also can lah.



越过妳划的线,我定了勇气 的终点
妳说我不该不该, 不该在这时候说了我爱妳
要怎么证明我没有说谎的力气 ,哦 请告诉我
暂停算不算放弃 我只有一天的回忆

If given so handsome I everything also can. I summarized my failure this time. I was too open and honest already. I exposed all my weakness and flaws very openly and that will be people who cannot accept. Albeit I still think that what happened in the past cannot determine a person character.

I was also too aggressive. I reveal my affection too early. But I didn't know that thru my previous failure of being too passive with karen, this case of mine is just not the opposite, I should let it, 顺其自然,顺水推舟,水到渠成。

Being ugly looking also make everything slightly more difficult. You know when you are cuter, all the 择偶其实都是过眼云烟。I should be more aware to my appearance.



Last but not least, lets watch the 主题曲 我们相爱吧。This song will definitely remind my failed love attempt. 

32 Birthday at Johor

Today is my birthday and I took 4 day leave from work, i had the whole day today with PL. We had not been going out too often, I think we had only went out twice including today in the morning for a whole day event. First time was where we go to east coast to picnic.

Today we had an itinerary planned out at Johor, we going in at around noon time and go and had our lunch at Jalan Segget. Which supposed to be Ya Hua gui teow was they had closed early due to sold out. We end up having lunch at Huang Di Ya just beside.


After lunch we moved to Holiday Plaza to window shop so knock off and pirated CDs. A lot of handphone casing so we both had our handphone skin and metal bumper. I got myself a couple of Blue Ray and Mac video editing software.

Sept birthday sprees



This month is my birthday month and i gave myself lots of reason to go on a spree. Best buy of the month G Steel series G shock. Though priced at $320 after discount, this AP look alike is a head turner. I didnt short of comment and compliment how great it looks. Its one of the buy which i will garner value over time the most. Note that this watch run in solar and internal battery, if you are not wearing the watch just leave it on the table top to recharge and it will conserve internal battery :)


PS4 is on my list and i brought it this month when i didnt win first in casa challenge. I was awarded ipad mini2 instead. I sold the ipad asap and its non cellular. Brought PS4 titles, until dawn and resident evil revelation 2. Peilin join me in a 3 hour gameplay into "until dawn". Its a thriller game with butterflies effects depending on the different choices you made in the game gave u different ending. Waiting for fallout 4 and GTA 5. I hope someone can buy me this PS4 titles. $359+$60+$60 


Sold off the lousy gift. Cash back $340



I brough my shrimp aquarium with attempt to aqua landscaping. To avoid hazzle i custom make mine from the shop keeper cause i can't wait to breed my shrimps. Inbrought 7 shrimps and 2 of them is pregnanted. They gave birth 6 small shrimp after 2 weeks. Shall show off them when they grow larger. $180 poorer.   





Went to commonwealth carmart to window shop for car. Almost impulsed to buy Honda Fit 1.3. Scary. I gave a secodn thought in the end. Also looking at acyron, and honda CRz
