Decided to change it on a whim.

Well life has been hard. I need to kick my procrastination.

Plurk karma frozen, I quit Facebook games already, I don't even look at Twitter.

Then came Tumblr.

Tumblr made me go through 1.5k pages of various awesome tumblrs of other people in 2 days.

I'm so crazy about Tumblr I ordered a Tumblr tee shirt online and it should arrive in the next couple of weeks. CAN'T WAIT!

I.Have.To.Stop.Tumblring.For.Now.

And, I tried working some other place, this time, its at this particular hotel. Its a weird feeling to be a stranger to a place again. The whole feel of the place is old... But yet can still function. The area I worked in that night was 6 small meeting rooms [partitioned normally] plus the corridor converted into one big area, and there placed 32 tables. There is no houseman, 2 staff is appointed housemen and have to do backroom stuff, which they were slow to react, NO CHINESE TEA LEH.

Then the dinner was putting the platter on the lazy suzanne on the table, except for soup, noodles and dessert have to portion and fish which have to cut and debone. Weird feeling to be table portioning, but I portioned slightly faster than some staff.

The dessert was my favourite orh-nee, or yam paste [with ginko nut!]

Chose to OT, 4 people OT, have to do finish everything, do like siao.

The stewarding likka cui, no racks to put glasses, glasses stack up, they don't care cox they have to clear the dirty dishes also. zz

Then next day was back at Ritz to do under housekeeping and clear the beds for breakout rooms. 4 high floors were taken up. Second time doing it already so okay okay.

School has been numbing, at least the experience of doing surveys along Orchard Road was sort of an eye opener.

Haiz, to NA, whoever you are, its not that I don't want to treat people the right way, I guess I have yet to learn to analyse different situations and act accordingly. I've been doing the wrong things at the wrong times and now I've been royally ignored.

Note to self: BUCK UP!

Shitstorms.

I have to try very hard to accept the cruel fact that politics are everywhere.

It's just too... too... I just hate it.

I know very well that I hate being alone, or rather, being left out.

That is the worst feeling ever.

Thus when I was flown aeroplane by a friend when I reached Tampines, I felt total emptiness and silence.

For that moment. My mind was empty, all sounds blurred into silence, and everything went into black and white.

It went something like this:

Me: I've reached Tampines

X: Oh sorry I'm not going there already.

Me: Huh?!

X: Yeah. Sorry, was in class and forgot about it.

Me: ...

Then, recent turn of events is just, annoying to say the least.

This is separate from the incident above.

Every single time when something similar happens, my analytical mind goes overdrive and ventures into the irrational.

How come I can just be brushed off like nothing?

Why not say it to my face?

The universe is using sledgehammers already BUT WHY?

If I'm not wrong, I'm repeating the lesson for the 3rd time already, and as far as I can tell, I haven't learnt it.

It's sad. Really.

A face to face confrontation WILL ruin the friendship. As if it isn't ruined already.

But thinking it out on my own doesn't help either. ARGH!

I need explanations. I need rationalisations of things that are happening.

I need to stop.

Stop thinking.

Happened to me.

Recently, stuff happened to me.

Like, I got to work in RC Club! Was super nervous at first cox the service is tip top! Was fun to the max! Saw for my own eyes what is hospitality. VERY IMPRESSED. Much better than all the theory shit we learn in school. The only thing that's good about school is when you find out how it all APPLIES IN REAL LIFE. Other than that its really boring in real life.

Then another perk is all the cool people you meet up there, be it the colleagues or the guests, they're awesome! I attempted to talk to a couple as they're reading Singapore's map. Asked them where they'd like to go and talked to them for abit. Kinda nerve wreaking but definitely fun!

Then there was the Japanese girls I saw. Two of them actually. I find out that I can just tell if someone is a Japanese 90% of the time. I guessed, then listened for abit, then confirm with a polite, nihonjin desuka? [Are you a Japanese?] That will usually shock them and I explain that I know a little Japanese, very little actually. xD

It became very useful that time when we're on the bumboat during Ruiqin's birthday. We're sitting on the outside area then this old guy walked up and sat at one empty space, asked him that question after suspecting if he's Japanese and he said yes! Tried communication but then failed cox I don't really understand. He then asked his friend to help translate.

Turns out this friend of his is a Japanese based in Singapore. And this old guy I said was some parliamentary member of Tokyo. I was HUH?! Flabbergasted totally. He gave me his namecard hahahaha. I tried to use my hospitality thing and asked him how's his stay in Singapore etc. It was an awesome feeling to use what I had learnt in real life.

Seems that exams just don't cut it out anymore.

A happy summer song. xD

春風

This song is aww.... Love the lyrics!

Romaji Lyrics:

motto hanashite ittai yo
zutto waratte ittai yo
kitto itsumademo kawaru kotonai

souzou motteiki nakatta

zutto te 'o tsunaide ittai
gyutto dakishimete ittai
kitto itsumademo kawaru kotonai
kimi toita hibi wo ima
mou ichido dakede ii kara

moshi mo negaiga kanau no naraba
bokuwa itsudemo kimini ai ni iku
ikutsumono yoru koe tekita darou
kimi ni sasageru tada kono utau o~

rinto shita kimi no kao

English Translation:

I want to talk (with you) more
I want to laugh (with you) always
I want nothing to ever change
I can't imagine without you here all day long

I want to hold (your) hand forever
I want to hold it real tight
I want nothing to ever change
You are here now
Let's try it once again
Anytime that you desire
I will go to where you are
Several nights have passed by
I will find you and sing this song to you

The glow of your face
and the little shrill of your voice
Will disappear from the memory someday
I will have to say goodbye soon however
therefor I cant sing to you right now

Even if you wish or cry
I have to hold back from meeting you
Several nights have passed by
I will find you and sing this song to you

The letter you gave me last year
still in the back of my pocket
the badly written wish "work hard"
Now a new season has arrived
blowing a fresh wind at late night
Now I hear your voice once again

Now I can feel you in this bustling city
I can find the trace of your shadow
I keep meeting you again
I keep meeting you again
Maybe it is destined all along

Anytime that you desire
I will go to where you are
Several nights have passed by
I will find you and sing this song to you

Rationale

credits: icanread.tumblr

rationale?

these days I don't even think.

I need people to be strict with me. very strict.

doesn't matter what I say cox its a way of escaping so ignore the words I say please.

my only hope is that.

if not.

I'll just be useless.

Gary

The rival, The best friend. :D

kthxbye

Reactivity Series.

Recalled a fundamental thingy of reactivity series earlier today.

This guy actually showed us that theres alot of chlorine in Singapore's water compared to WTS water. [Water Treatment System]

He dripped 5 drops of some chemical which I cant be bothered to remember the long name, but it states small amounts of HCl might be found. The untreated tap water turned into yellow-green solution [basically yellowgreen dissolved precipitate]

Then I recalled reactivity series! The drops of liquid had to be H[insert element(s)] and when chlorine ions are present in water, they replace the said element and becomes HCl, while the displaced element is a yellow green solution in water. Sweeeeet.

But this won't help me in HBM, so bye.

Jobless?

I think I will have more to juggle the coming term.

1) School - Thats like an understatement, but yea I've been neglecting it like how someone would smoke until he has stage 4 lung cancer, and then say WHY.

2) Work - Well work gonna be split into many many parts. Why? Cox I can see myself holding like 5 jobs at one go, but not working all in one day of course. For now, I supposedly have 2 jobs, one in Ritz Carlton as banquet, next as Mediacorp Staging [but they very very long long never call me liao haii]

*The following are potential jobs*

Then I REALLY HOPE TO PASS THE CAMP THAT JASON INTRO cox that freelance thingy [I don't call it a job even though it potentially pays me] is soooooooooo FUN! I'm so gonna vulgarity GET IN!

Then if there's a second round of interviews for Resorts World Sentosa, [if Daniel informs me la] then voila, one more job! :D

Then if I'm confirmed to be teaching kids unicycling on friday afternoons, more stuffs!!

3) BA_COMM - Its my responsibility so I should do as much as I can. :D STAGEWERKS!! MAKE IT A SUCCESS!!

4) Unicycling - I've been really neglecting it. Damn. I have to cycle across Singapore someday, but not at the expense of my groin, so gotta train up.

See? So many things to do, so little time AND money. T.T

AND GET THE CLIMATE DEAL AT COP15 DONE YOU IDIOTS!

Climate Change.

Climate Change?

It won't change until human changes, or until humans go extinct.

BECAUSE, humans won't change until its too late. And it will be irreversible for the planet when it is too late, until humans disappear that is..

Oh well.

Blog Header Edit

Look up! :D

Anyways life's been throwing all sorts of hammers at me, and I'm clearly ignoring it.

Somebody wake me up from my own world and drag me back into the real world please!

When the sledgehammer comes, it'll all be too late.

Too late.

*sigh* At least now I've got a clearer goal to work towards... :)

Ciao

Too long never blog

Yealo..

School, work, cca, school.

1st week was just lectures etc.. Then saturday was work work.. 7am till 2am. 19 solid hours. xD

Sunday went outtt, with Queenie and Kelvin. Bought 3 books and 1 tee...

I feel I get alot of STM... Die~

Yesterday had a very weird nightmare. Ewwww

Wonder how BANG! will turn out. And also the unicycle workshop this sunday...

Haii

Life, understood.

Tempted to BUY

Saw this at Page One @ Vivocity.

VERY TEMPTED TO BUY

It costs $276 ++

T.T

Shall see how much is next saturday's pay before planning to splurge..

AND THEY BETTER STILL HAVE STOCK TILL THEN.

End.

Finally some slack.

Work work work and finally online.

Don't really recall what happened over the past week except for work.

Thursday's Crystal Ball was v fun. 2 beverage server to 1 table, + synchro-serve. Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Damon Hill and Jamie Yeo [w bf] was there. Cool ttm. Cox of road closure gotta take transport from Millenia Walk, talked alot w JD, Amber and Jess.

Friday was the start of F1, din book in time so was sian when seeing ppl wearing paddock uniform.. D: Had around 20 secondary 3 staff from various schools with some teachers attached to us for the M1 breakfast thingy.

Freaking overstaff.

Imagine this: you and someone having breakfast with close to 20 pairs of eyes staring at you eating. Don't you feel a teeny bit uncomfortable? D:

Luckily the people assigned to my group were good. :D

Helped out in the ballroom after that..

Saturday, already lost track of time, doing the same thing. Saw Alonso with his wife. Then normal stuffs except that today the attachment kids get to try out the other side of banquet [for the guys] which is carrying heavy stuff all over the place. First was 130+ 24x500ml per carton water bottles from 1st to 2nd level. Next was slim tables from 2nd to 1st level.

The girls however, helped to set up and was overstaffed over there. Imagine 8 people doing U-shaped skirting, with some other people sitting around with nothing to do.

Sunday, same thing, then was tear down and then moving the setting to 2 other rooms, with the original room changed into some other setup. Then was assigned to standby. I'd rather move about moving stuffs than standby, because after those days of walking, suddenly you stand still at one place, you will realise all the pain start to build up and cause fatigue... D:

Luckily it was over in a short while, and we turnover-ed that room as well. After that was moving more stuffs until we were released. Rotted at canteen while waiting for F1 to start. After watching a few laps on TV, went to change and went out to watch and hear the real thing up close.

It's damn loud. VERY. It hurt my ears so have to cover when I hear one [or more] coming. I wonder how those people with cameras tahan without earplugs just for the image.

Went around Marina Square, watched the live telecast on the big screen at the atrium of Marina Square, after awhile, went home.

Monday was OC, first other OC [the prev one was paddock last year] Since it was early, we went to some kopitiam at Dunlop St. opp Sim Lim Towers, to have breakfast packed from canteen and drinks were on the driver uncle. :D

The food was made to wake us up [it had chilli inside]. So I din finish and downed a few more samosas. Went Istana and was " Wow so this is the Istana. Nice"

Packed stuffs, set up stuffs, had tons of aircon from the cupboard sized air conditioner which blows air out from ground up. Heard one guest saying about " too much carbon emmissions"

Then don't wear your suit and tie and request to turn down the air con, for the Earth's sake! Damn these scientists.

Anyway the later part of the afternoon was spent talking and sleeping.. Then dinner and we're off to work. Cocktail was alright until the later part when it got really congested, that we risk hitting on anyone from any direction. D:

Before I could go in to rest my arms, was called again to the VIP holding area to serve them. Around 1 staff to 2 guests. All never touch the food [which Aislinn and me were holding] and drinks only a little. 2 Ministers came in as well.

After that they went in to talk talk, award award, then come out for buffet dinner. It was packed. Saw the president so up close for the 1st time. xD

After the whole thing ended, the tearing down took less than an hour.

Then was the truck which we were loading have some problem. So while waiting for them to come back, we had drinks. Cola is just shiok. :D

Cheers *ting*

Back to RC, unloaded some stuffs, went to get bags and went canteen makan, then changed, then mini-bused home.

Today spent 5 hours reading a week worth of Straits Times. Whew...

Work, Chalet, ED9 outing.

Work, i forgot most of what I wanted to say. But saturday was tiring to some extent, reached home at 2am, slept at 2.30, woke 2 hrs later and started work again at 6am on sunday. Pulled in an unknown number of chairs in for some church service. Then afternoon when they're gone, we went to pull out a bigger unknown number of chairs out and yea, v numb.

Worked till 10pm, chionged with my lactic acid-filled legs to downtown east chalet. It was for Jimmy's belated celebration, but Gary and I missed it cox of work. We went there and had our late dinner/supper. Then played the PS2, talked abit, then went to play drinking games. First time drinking Chivas sia... D:

It was very fun for some of the games! hahahaha

Slept around 4am, woke at 8am+ and went for breakfast at macs. Had hotcakes w sausage and added a round egg too. Shiok arh!

Went to white sands to walk around abit, played at the arcade. Jubeat is FUN! :D

Gary and Jimmy then went off first to Tampines to get something. I waited for Debbie till around 12, then we set off for Cityhall. Reached there and saw only Ronald and Reuben. LOL

Rotted at macs while waiting for the others.. Went to carrefour to get our food later, and then trained to marina bay and shuttle bused to marina barrage!

Ate alot, Played alot, Frisbee alot, and of course spammed alot of photos!!!

Went back at 8pm+, back to chalet and was rather cui. Played PS2 till i was half dozing off. D:

So slept at 1am, till 8am and packed stuffs.. Went out at 10am+

Cabbed with Seth and Jimmy, helped Jimmy bring stuffs back to his home and mrt-ed home.

Went Eunos after that with Gary for some stuffs. Din know Gordon was working at RC too! Cool man! hahaha

Ok thats about it.. xD

Cheng Tng outing!

Yay! Finally an outing!

Luckily it was to Swensen's, not Seoul Garden as initially planned. If not the 8 of us will contribute at least $240 to the economy instead of $130++..

Who was there? There was Ronald, Debbie, Brandon, Tyty, Jason, Irah, Atiqah, and me of course. xD The whole night just turned horny with the mere presence of Irah. D: Imagine what will happen when she says something? xD

We didn't have ice cream for dessert.. Wanted to get cheng tng though but the shops nearby don't sell them, so we just got some dessert.. Had tau huay w peanut/almond paste. Ronald said we'll have the runs after that but luckily it didn't happen.. xD

Went over to Iluma, took many retarded photos.. But not enough time to play story game. We'll have one next time!! hahahah

Today was spent watching the last 10 episodes of Kamen Rider Decade which I missed.. To me it was awesome la! :D Researched on the costume and found it to be near- ok, impossible to make for my skill level, financial health, and time.

First, the helmet is made of resin/fibreglass. DAMN THAT'S EXPENSIVE. And I haven't counted in the price of the equipment needed to manipulate them. The costume idk liao.. Spandex/Imitation leather? D:

Anyways, going work tomorrow and wednesday for whole day.. So should be MIA till then..

Ciao~ xD

Unicycle Practice

Like finally, since its after exams.

Yesterday endured a crazy bus ride all the way to bedok/tanah merah there. Bus 143 to petrol station to pump air for unicycle, then 143 again to chinatown, then 12 all the way. Sore butt. D:

There's like more people today, and there were people who approached to ask about it. :D

One was a mother whose daughter was studying in Japanese sch and wants to borrow a uni to practice on her own. Then theres a guy [who I suppose is in outward bound since he's wearing the tee] who is like 30s(?) and said he has a unicycle but havent got around trying it. So he'll be here next week to learn.. Woot new members. hahaha

Photoshop is funnn... But irritating as well.. Contemplating to change the header of my blog.. Any ideas? Tag please! xD

Weird Dream.

I had a weird dream last night. [25th Aug'09]

Cox the person who was in the dream was like someone I don't really talk to and haven't talked in like 3 years? And worse [or better, depends on what perspective], we're [_________________] (how I wish blogger can have password protected posts, can't say here really. Just wanna get it off my mind)

Its so weird, can hear the voice so clearly, only the environment around us that I can't remember.

Kinda good dream though, but then.. Argh I don't know how to convey this.

Ok, HongWei, this is a good dream. Its at least 346923658648926710720934 times better than the one where you dreamt that you got GPA 1.2 for this semester right? *nods* Good.

Today was going to SP day. Wore SP shirt, for comical effect. hahahahah

Food was alright, just that ate too much before going out. LOL

Played with photoshop, didn't know it'll take up so much time, in a flash 3 hours was gone!

Played with photoshop again just now, I just finished my FIRST TWITTER SKIN!

Although from an online tutorial, it had good effects. :D

Do go view and comment! :D

http://twitter.com/reddumpling

PSYCHO-BITCH!

Yes, that's the word of the day.

I think only me and many people whom I don't know know about the inherent meaning of the word. :D

Why many people I don't know will know? Cox it happened during the rehearsal of one of the plays I watched in SP today. xD

Went to support Constance cox she had a role one of the 2 plays. At first was abit shocked sia, cox of their HEAVY make up and abuse of hair spray.

The first play was shown to the SP principal and his colleagues. LOL. Luckily I wasn't the only non-SP person there. But I think I'm the only NP one. LOL

Anyways, almost got lost finding my way there. SP's really devoid of plugs! OMG. Must be grateful for all the plugs around NP.

The person who acted like 5 roles [aunties, cleaner, maid, waitress etc] damn good la. HAHAHA Especially her filipino accent! "Boy come eat! Food Cold!" xD

First time see Constance look so stress sia. D:

Overall the plays were good! But can't be compared since they're like 2 totally different one! lol!

Okay, back to studies! *crosses fingers for PMKT*

Exams.

I hate studying alone.

But due to all the stupid events that HAD to happen, I'm forced to study alone.

No motivation at all. How I wish we can study like during O levels. From my perspective, it was good because when I see everyone so hardworking, I will also get stressed and study too. And most importantly, it paid off.

So I can say that my GPA will be screwed this semester.

CEM 7 more chapters. PMKT don't understand at all. For ATRM don't understand is just an understatement.

I want to go natsu matsuri [summer festival] this saturday!

Hope have the moolah to buy the very expensive stuff there.

Hope to get work as soon as exams are over.
