Colorgenics Testing

Browsed Nick's blog and spotted this interesting stuff, pretty accurate Meow Meow guess. It is these kind of stuffs that really turns Meow Meow so attracted to Psychology study. It is so awesome (non-profitable way) to be able to understand signs and symptoms to human reactions, at least that's what Meow Meow think. Meow Meow give the above information 80% accurate and 4 out of 5 grade.

"Your mind is never at rest.You are continually striving to influence all those about you. You have some excellent ideas but you persist in trying to persuade others just how great your ideas really are. Maybe you are trying too hard. Take it easy - remember, 'Everything comes to those who wait'.

You are not be feeling so good at this time. Everything seems to be getting on top of you. What you need is a rest from all of the the present trials and tribulations in peaceful surroundings and with someone - male or female, it doesn't really matter - who can really understand you and appreciates your needs.

You feel that you deserve far more than is being attributed to you, but there is no-one to whom you can turn to for sympathy and understanding. Your pent-up emotions and inherent egocentricity make you quick to take offence, but as matters stand you realise that you will have to make the best of things as they are.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You are anxious about all the limitations to which you are subjected to at this time. You feel that you are not valued for what or who you are. You need OUT. So why procrastinate any longer - MOVE!"

What The F**k

Do you know what guys, my school is really a pain in the ass (sorry for the prune language). The revision course that the school had organize is not free and the fee is not really small of minimal. Well, let me tell you the whole story.

A few days ago, Anil (my lecturer) told the whole class that the school had organize a revision section with lecturer from UOL coming to lecture. A told of 12 hours per subject spreading throughout the month of April. Never did he mention that there will be fee incurred.

Then to my surprise today, i found out the fee that i need to pay in order to attend the revision course which come in the form of letter from the school! And the fee is really high for a mere revision course, a total of $2,000 which mean that one subject come up to about $500. This is really day light robbing! So i have decided not to go for this stupid course and study on my own!
One thing to know, my school suck big time!

Time Flying By

Believe or not, it's going to be the end of March and a step towards an exam that I'm not remotely prepare for. How discouraging that can be right but then again it's not that i don't know anything for the whole course (I still got go for class and listen in class). This really is the most last minute study that I'm going to be doing. Hopefully i can be ready by then!

Anyway, let not talk about exam for now. You guys should know by now that i have resign from my current job and my last day would be end of April. Still have yet find a job but meow meow is helping me in preparing my resume (I'm not really a good resume writer). Still looking for job relating to my field of study, and hopefully i can have a good pay too.

Those day been quite hectic as i am in the mist of clearing my work. You might be wondering why am i working this hard when i am leaving in about a month or so. The answer is quite simple to me, you may think it's just stupid but people who know me knows that i don't like to leave thing hanging and also to ask other people to clear my shit (sorry of the choice of language). This is what i believe and i have adopt this to my character and have evolve to my principle.

Well, anyway, time to close this chapter. See you guy soon!

H. S. (Hectic Saturday)

WARNING: If you are not interested in someone's complaint, please do not attempt to read, understand, or comment on what is presented to the readers' eyes below. Thank you.


Meow Meow never had such a tiring Saturday for a very very long time. Meow Meow started the day waking up with three morning calls from one very close cousin, Y.B., at around 7am, 7.30am and 8am. And Meow Meow was like, eh, sleeping of course! It was first of all a Saturday to speak, and second of all, it was so god damn early (a usual working day timing) and last of all, Meow Meow had one of the most tiring and demotivated weekday that same week.

Waking up 8am of course (as I am late) and wash up, walk down the usual peaceful and quiet road along to blocks of apartment and down into the Jurong Point. Walking past the stretch of shops reaching Boon Lay Control Station in a jiffy 10-15mins. Late as usual with such a timing, The cousin group, consist of Meow Meow, Y.B. and W.H.. And hence the group traveled down to the kind of isolated area of NTU (Nanyang Technological University) for a very "motivational" (the exact same word Y.B. used to describe the morning event) and informational seminar by some experienced professionals in Investing and Finance.

Meow Meow really appreciated the seminar, but the appreciation could be better if the seminar wasn't so early. After really hours and hours of long cozy and bored session of information sharing, the whole seminar group of people who was suppose to join the Cash Trail was finally released for refreshments. Food was just food for Meow Meow that so damn very moment. And had them to satisfied the long hours of waiting and hunger. Felt soo much better after the little snacks and munches.

A little introduction of the Cash Trail event. Cash Trail is a resemblance of Amazing Race and Stock Exchange combined together into a "game". Basic instructions was: 1. Required to get to six stations with one is inside the NTU itself; 2. Make stock transactions just with the situation the of three fictional companies present state of management; 3. As of stock transactions, there is three activities to choose, to Buy, Sell, or Hold the stock; 4. In each stations, there will have a bonus question to be asked. Answer it correctly to earn an additional of $500; 5. The remaining 5 stations are scattered all around CBD (Central Business District) with only clues on cards are provided and we are suppose to guess where it is; 6. The last and final most obvious requirement is to reach OCBC Building by 4.30pm.

An amount of $100,000 (value) was given at the start of the event and there we the cousin gang left the area of gathering to the first station. In whole and all, we are both physically fatigue and loss in the areas. Mentally strained and practically hopelessly lost to the management's ability to hold out such an event. Accepting the fate that it is practically unfair and impossible to win with such a state of unforeseeable under-ruled game.

Out in all, the $1,000 did not belong to the cousin gang ultimately. Meow Meow knew for sure that Y.B. really wished to have that, pretty eager and willing to go through anything for it. Efforts wasted and all the group could do was console ourselves taking it as a cousin bonding session and that we enjoyed the whole trail and that we got ourselves nice lunch, informational sharing talk, and goody bag in the end nonetheless. Meow Meow got more then that, earned a blister on the left foot sole and thorn skin around the back of the ankle. That added onto the two more other portions of my foot abrasion from my reservist, my foot is kind of well "decorated" now.

Meet Woow Woow, Derek mistress and Hong Jun for dinner at Marina Square and had Japanese food. Not a bad place to dine in, and thus, quite enjoyed the moment. A few more bits of walking on top of all the walking the past few hours Meow Meow had went through. Meow Meow and Woow Woow decided to catch a midnight movie after that, and we caught "The Orphanage". Foreign cultured and horror movie, with few good scare and nice, wonderful story line. Finally watched a horror show with Woow Woow after a long long time, and this time, really really been a rare occasion when the audiences really SCREAMED.

Proceed home with Night Rider to Woow Woow place from the Cathay (walking again). And got home, Meow Meow thought the day couldn't get any worse, as the hour of rest is near, but no... Woow Woow's Jody, the fat ass dog, wanted to sleep in the room which Meow Meow sleeps. Meow Meow thought it was really ridiculous to have a pet in the sleeping room of masters, but no, it was as though the dog has pushed its luck and got what it wanted. Really really bad mood (no... is not just bad, but rotten mood) and felt so at daggers drawn with the stupid dogs Woow Woow had in his residence. Slept on a thin piece of cloth with sponge which is old and stained with dog's urine, which Woow Woow called it a mattress to aggravate Meow Meow's back and neck ache. Meow Meow could experience nothing worse than this ever... ~End

NSmen sucks ass

It really makes Meow Meow getting so sick this time, to have to go reservist in March mid. To makes things worse, Meow Meow's study enrollment has yet to even come to a confirmation of status. Been waiting for the English test result to satisfy the last and foremost important criteria of entrance to Meow Meow's degree course. Well, the least Meow Meow can hope is that the English test is a pass and what needs to be done is just to pay and pick modules and just go for it.

Nothing could be worse then that, Meow Meow thought. But seemingly, Meow Meow's attempt to make Meow Meow's physical more fitter is not going very well. Been jogging and running roughly 3km for three weeks now, and Meow Meow don't feel ready for the Individual Physical Proficiency Test (or short IPPT). Come to think of the past (2-3years ago), Meow Meow isn't that bad when it comes to physical exercises. Seems like Meow Meow has taken the first and primary step to get used to unhealthy lifestyle.

Work seems to be quite cumulative nowadays, but is considered quite manageable back there. Nothing much to think of other than my weekdays will be without Woow Woow and the yuckiest foods and drinks will be in my camp waiting for Meow Meow to stuff it down Meow the throat. Pretty much helpless, but yet can't really say "I don't want to go reservist", can Meow Meow?

Busy and messy days nowadays, Meow Meow decides to spend the weekend peacefully and sweetly with Woow Woow, eating nice and delicious meals, drinking all the "sinful" drinks, and enjoy lots of quiet and quality time with Woow Woow. For Meow Meow knows for sure that Meow Meow is going to miss Woow Woow like hell when Meow Meow is in camp "wasting time off".

A Day Out

Saturday was really a blast! Meow Meow and i did not really do anything, we first went to the career fair to get some information on education course that some university are currently offering. We did not really stay for very long as there really much over there, as mostly was for education and the hotel, sales and marketing industry. Not something that i am looking for!

We then decided to go to orchard by means of walking as the weather is ideal for walking. Anyway, we wanted to have a KTV section but as it turn out the place was fully pack so we decided to go to taka kino book store to look at some books. We did not really spend much time over the place, we later proceed to go to border to look at more books (we did not really have much choice as we firstly had not have our paycheck and secondly we don't really have any idea on what to do).

After looking at some magazine, we took a bus to vivo city even through we are way early then before the intended meeting time. When we arrive at vivo city, we went to white dog cafe (my favourite place) to have some snack and coffee and we spend some time talking till time is up. I personally love to just sit down and have a chat over a cup of coffee. This is really life! I think i really sick and tired of the everyday life in term of the rushing between here and there. I think i just like to just find a place to chat over a cup of coffee with friend. Don't you think that great!

Anyway, after meeting the gang, we had our dinner at vivo thaixpress which had great food but not so good service. I personally had already decided that the service at thaixpress is not much of service and the idea of paying for service charge for service that don't really justify is really costly. Don't you agree? But then again, can we choice not to pay for it. After a hearty meal, we took the train to chinatown but the most funny thing is that we actually miss our station. How can you blame any of us when you put a bunch of lovely but bitchy people together (Which include me.. hehe). There bound to be lots of talking and bitching.

Back to blogging, it turn out that we still need to pay for clubbing as we miss the first 100 people. Well, this really a lesson to learn, and that is need time we really need to be very very early just to make sure that we don't pay. This is something i need to note, as you guys have known by now that i am a avid clubber. Nonetheless, i did enjoy myself even through i did not drink a bit.

My Third Reservist Briefing

This would be Meow Meow's third reservist briefing that Meow Meow had attend over the same financial year already. Meow Meow's motivation is slowly seeping away and draining into Meow Meow's personal needs and future plans, and guess the only thing that will be left is obligation, "slavery", and serving "senselessly" till 40.

Meow Meow felt quite pissed this time round. For one, is that part-time student aren't considered for deferment. At least that is one quite atrocious rejection, as it has been differently treated from that of other forms of study such as full-time and some other which I shall not name. Studies should be more important in a general expect of life, and everything else (even include national security). Who do you think is going to analyze the current situation? Someone whose learned. Who do you think is going to find out the possibility of weakness? Someone whose learned. And who is going to be responsible for improvements of little little things in life and stuffs? Someone whose learned.

And another thing that turned me off is after a relatively long time being a civilian in a all commercialized lifestyle, you got to go back into a non-air con, non-computer, non-radio, and only the basics of living (simple foods, plain water, and 3-inched mattress, etc). Reservist purpose is to get people ready for the defense of Country when needed in emergency times, I believe it should not be done at the sake of the basis of their original choice of lifestyle and life routine (work, activities, etc). The need of in-camp training, is a can, not a must, which is being put to being must.

And the third and final say that really make me feel like wasting my time is, the need to bring so many things through and fro. It really shaken my want to take taxi, as it would weight tons on my shoulder and aches me from inside out. Exhausting every muscles and the mind, can be discomforting and a irritating. It is even worst now, that taxi fares are raised per jump in the meter is 20cents makes the financial upkeep damn high (though have nothing to do with reservist, but indirectly, yes). Anyway, I guess my degree comes too late, I haven't even take my English Proficiency test now and my degree course starting in March first/second week.

Life has too much to think (that's why I am suppose to write about love, didn't write about love in the end), just make sure you did a penny for a thought once in a while of your lifetime I guess. It's not early any more, time to sleep. Nights!

First day of Self-study

Today is the first day of my "intensive self-study" and it had already proved to be very challenging. I really had to force myself to study and not to succumb to the temptation of my computer, television and bed. This really take will power! Anyway, did not cover much my better then not moving at all right! By the way, i now blogging using my desktop! This is the first time i done this and this is so unfamiliar. My sister brought my laptop but can't manage to return to me in time. Anyway, not that i cannot use my desktop right! And also, i will try to add some photo.
