Saturday, April 30, 2011

The first week of school had just past and I must say that the subjects are slightly more interesting
I get to meet new classmates too but sadly I havent talk to most of them yet
The only friend (Excluding those I already know beforehand) is Grace
Nice person, awesome chatting partner and gonna be my groupmate for projects!
Looking forward to working with her!

Anyway this week we just had a BBQ at Aetiiqcaz's house
Pretty awesome BBQ and this time round I sponsored one bottle of Jack Daniels!
Hehe actually at first I wanted to get Martell VSOP but then they were out of stock
The dude recommended Remy Martin but i never tried before So didnt get it in the end
And at the BBQ we managed to have a great chat and had some gossips too!
Haha seriously its fun when friends come together and have this kinda chatting sessions

Oh well ok the BBQ photos I will upload soon

Hi people, first of all im sorry that I havent been posting anything for the past... month
Anyway Im here in this post to dust off those cobwebs

So... what have I been up to lately?
Actually there is kinda many things that I did, things that happen so on and so forth
I went to Rebel and Zirca with my secondary school friends 3 weeks ago on ladies night
It was a great night for clubbing, in fact i think we danced 4 hours straight
By the time we came out at 4am, our legs like nua already
Haha but anyway it was really fun, Edmund and I danced with Carmen and Anna all night long
From Zirca dance until Rebel and then back to Zirca again
Haha oh yeah and Carmen's mum came too!
She treat us 2 jugs of beer, we kinda played round robin for drinking
Pretty awesome, got us high before we actually kinda danced haha
After that night we went to chill somewhere near Rebel there and caught up with each other
Its great to hear that most of them are doing well
In fact, Edmund and Zhong Xin are doing very well in ITE, they are in the top 5%
Therefore they are eligible for poly intake this April
Congratulations to them!

Anyway another thing that I got was that I found a part time job
Brewerkz at Indoor Stadium, its quite a good job i must say, better than my previous
But of course for every good thing, there must be a bad thing
If you wanna know about the bad thing, just let me know personally, I wont post it up here
Its really tiring when there are actually quite a lot of people patronising
But then again if there are very little people time seems to be crawling slowly
On a positive note we get to go off early!
On a negative note, we get paid for the hours that we work only
Haha but nevermind work for fun only
We had our very own Brewerkz lunch too (Picture above)
It was... an average lunch i must say, Swissotel the food... nah not really as great as i thought it would be
Haha but it was free so... no complaints, no complaints ^^

These past 1 month we celebrated Sandra Porroro and Aetiiqcaz's birthday
Happy Belated birthday to them!

Oh yes and Dad bought me my Macbook Pro yesterday! Hehe thanks Dad!
In fact Im transferring data from my old computer over to my Mac now
And im using my Mac to type this post!
Im still figuring out the other functions of Mac though
I feel like a noob
Oh well gotta spend more time exploring!

Alright thanks a lot for reading
Will be posting again soon.
Till then, see yah! :)

Iron Maiden The Final Frontier Tour Singapore February 15th 2011

The Iron Maiden concert last tuesday was absolutely awesome!
I never never regret buying their tickets and staying throughout their concert
Haha and you know what is the even more awesome thing?
All the songs i usually listen to from Iron Maiden are all being played LIVE!
And it sounded way awesome than it was played on my itunes. Haha!
They played songs like 2 Minutes to Midnight, Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, Number of the Beast, Blood Brothers and Hallowed Be Thy Name.
The whole crowd gone super super wild, everyone jumping out their seats rocking and dancing
Haha totally outta control, especially at the front area, everyone like crazy
The mosh pit and stuffs like that, Im really glad im not there! Haha otherwise i sure screwed

On wednesday I went to Butter Factory at night!
Its my first time there and I was pretty anxious, cause I dont know what to do in the club
I met up with Ben and his friends at Ion Orchard at around 10pm.
I think there were about 10 of them in the end who went to Butter Factory
Nice and friendly people, glad to be able to club in a crowd on the first time!
Haha but before we went to Butter, we headed over to somewhere near Zouk there
Bought Chivas and 42 below and some red bull and headed to the "bridge"
Apparently this "bridge" is famous among frequent clubbers as in
Whenever they say meet at the "bridge", it would be this bridge at Kim Seng road
I feel like a noob sia, I didnt even know there was such a bridge in Singapore haha
Much less where Zouk was
But I did manage to walk outside Zouk and Phuture cause went there to find JY
Anyway when we were at Butter, I like a paiseh dont want dance arh
Haha but then in the end still danced, cause like go club dont dance = wasted
Oh yes! I met Fiona Tan from 2M01 also!
Haha she was there with her other friends drinking
And she let me try her drink! No idea what it was, just drink only
Haha but i remember it was pink!
Oh and i get to try a drink called "Graveyard"
Before Jon passed me the drink, he was like "Be careful, this drink very strong"
At that time, cause was already a bit drunk from the Chivas and 42 below before
So I just try and drink only, haha and he was right!
It was mixed with many different kinds of alcohol and I nearly puked when I drank that
Regardless with all these alcohol, dancing at the dance floor was so much more fun and less paiseh
It was an awesome night, awesome way to relax and de-stress haha!


So... I woke up with a hangover in the morning
Haha but regardless, I still headed to school for COL
Quite a great session, Samie Tan showed us videos and gave us info regarding our SIP
Frankly speaking I have no idea where to pick from SIP
In fact, come to think of it Im still stuck at the decision on whether I should go Finland or not
Haha but anyway after COL, we headed over to Dodo's place for Wii and Xbox kinect
However halfway through the gambling I needed to head to town to find my parents for dinner
So I went from Yishun all the way to Takashimaya and then after dinner went back to Dodo's place again
After that had some guitar hero and then cabbed back with Aetiiqcaz and Yan Yee
Awesome day it was!

Friday was nothing much though, basically lazed at home the entire day!

Saturday I had lunch at Angus Steakhouse with my Godsister and my parents
Haha I havent been there in ages! And surprisingly after around 7-8 years its still there
When I was younger, my parents would bring me to the arcade at Takashimaya
And I would always play the same damn game, Marvel vs Capcom!
Haha and then it would be Angus for dinner
My childhood was great! ^^
After that I headed off to guitar lesson at Serangoon
And you know what, my teacher tasked me to come up with a tune that carries on from what he gave me
Haha first time something that is not related to repetitively practicing aimless yes?
Frankly speaking, now I came up with the tune already but it sounds awful
Guess I shall go amend it later and see what I can improve on
Anyway after guitar lesson I headed over to Natalie's sweet 16 birthday chalet at Changi
Damn the bungalow is HUGE and NICE! But the price also very nice
Haha but then it doesnt seem like a very ideal location leh
Cause its near Old Changi General Hospital
And yeah at night, there are no lights around and it gets really creepy
Haha but overall the party was alright!
I took in a lot of food and I gave out a lot of blood
1-for-1 exchange! ^^ Hahaha

Alright this is a very long post
Thanks for reading it until here
Will be posting here again soon
Shall go back to my mountain and chiong retail

And finally HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY JEMAINE! :)

Till den, See you! :)

Felix and I
My seniors
Juniors + Seniors

Had a mini farewell gathering for Felix on Tuesday
It was really great because I could feel the bond we had even though we havent seen each other for months
Even after so long, we are still quite close
And you know what I enjoyed the most?
Reminiscing the good old times we had together
The joy, the fun, the laughter,
The pains, the obstacles, the problems
And how we managed to overcome them
And at last we are where we are today
In fact I think it was a very good experience
I enjoyed a bond that cant be broken easily
We will miss you Felix!

Yesterday night was another mini gathering / farewell for Mahavira
Its been 2 years and these 2 years really flew by very FAST
Come to think of it, these 2 years has really been a great experience for me
I mean, i get to meet a lot of new people, make new friends, learn new things
I have an awesome class like right now and you know what
Frankly speaking I really cant bear the fact that we are all splitting next sem
Because I have never been in a class whereby more than half a class would turn up for an event
Organised by ourselves
Seriously, 2M02, you guys are awesome
Anyway back to the gathering thing
We spent 3 hours hanging out at the spider web in Pasir Ris park
We chat about a lot of things, from gyming to songs and to relationship issues
Seriously, it has been a long time since I had this kinda talk
Oh yes perhaps if you saw my tweet, yesterday when we were chatting halfway
We saw a family lighting up paper lanterns and making wishes and then setting them free
So we walked up to them and joined them
I did make a wish too! Even though I didnt tell anyone about it haha
Anyway I think Mahavira is already at Tekong now
Hopefully he will have a great time in army
1 year from now, its my turn and frankly speaking Im having mixed feelings
Not sure whether should I be happy or sad
Haha!

Today just completed POC presentation
And I feel like a mean person today
Because there was one person in class who criticised our group product
So when he asked a question, I couldnt take it anymore and shoot him back in a marketing point of view
And being an engineering student (I think), he like stunned there
Haha! I think he dislikes me now
But whatever, I go to school is to learn, not to seek approval from people like him
Anyway I went town with JY today for window shopping
Walked quite a number of places and then from Orchard all the way to Dhouby Ghaut
Hahaha but it was fun lah, even though we didnt get anything in the end

Just came back from Central
Saw 2 friends there who shared some stuffs with me about this certain person
Im sorry that Im actually gossiping and dissing people here
But I am really amazed, no not angry, but amazed
That someone who appears so nice can actually be so cunning, scheming
Sigh... really spoilt my perceived image of him / her
In addition to these things, I actually witnessed for myself
And so when I piece the pieces of the puzzle together
I actually figured out that it all makes sense now
So I guess, I should not hang out with person anymore
I know what is the meaning of
Two faced

Alright I guess this shall be the end of this post
Sorry that it is kinda long and there are some paragraphing problems
Haha! And thanks for reading
Will be posting again soon
Till then, see you! :)

Firstly, Happy Chinese New Year 2011 people!
May it be a prosperous year for you and your families!

Anyway just came back from my relatives' houses
In the morning i went to my granduncle's place, in fact i only see him once a year
Guess which day isit? Ok thats retarded you should have guessed it by now.
Haha anyway one of the "stranger uncle" said I look great! Fit and mature
Made my day cause I totally agree! Haha ok thick skinned is me! :D
The reason why i use "Stranger uncle" is cause i have no impression of seeing him before
In fact, going there and meeting people is like meeting new people
People that I have no impression of seeing before
Of course, the main concern was to wish Granduncle and the rest well and of course ang baos
Haha! The more you have, the more blessed you are! ^^
Even if inside only have $2 it doesnt matter to me, $2 can buy yourself a toast and a drink at the coffeeshop
Enough to keep you full for around an hour or 2
Good enough for me! :)

Anyway my cousin told me she wanna lose weight
But she says she has a very bad habit of procrastinating and laziness
Maybe gotta motivate her or something
Otherwise she will keep thinking buying clothes is like torture to her
I dont mind going though, keeps me occupied during the holidays!
Apart from working, another meaningful thing to do
Beats sitting at home playing Dota all day
Haha!

Anyway I gotta go prepare myself to go out again
Next destination, parents' friends house
Sad news is it is at Lakeside
All the way from Pasir Ris to Lakeside, East to West, wah the journey is gonna be super long
Oh well gotta my Ipod ready to pop in those earpieces to keep me entertained
But best of all, go there to see once a year see friends
And of course, Ang baos
Yup yup Chinese New Year is all about Ang Baos
Everyone is talking about it, its like a norm during this festive season
Haha!

Alright gotta go
Will be posting again soon
This is Chester here wishing you a Happy 2011 Chinese New Year

P.S: I used my 888th tweet to wish everyone Happy CNY ^^ Nothing much just wanna say it! Haha ok I'm lame

Alright see you! :)

Heart made out of candles
P.S: It is a real photo, not taken from anywhere

I was looking through my old photos and i happened to come across this photo.
This photo brings back memories, Im feeling like nostalgic now
This photo was taken back when I was in secondary 3, cant believe i kept this photo up till now
In fact, this is the only photo i kept after our friendship kinda soured, in a way or so
No elaboration on what happened is going to be written here

But I can tell you this, this was the first wonderful memory of us
We made this heart out of candles on the Lantern's festival in 2007
This heart was actually meant to show our love and appreciation for this friendship we had with this friend
And so the two of us actually came an hour earlier to put up these candles and start lighting them up before our friend arrive
You wouldnt imagine how happy our friend was
Memorable advance birthday and Lantern's festival, sure it was for him/her, at least at that moment
I wonder if he/she would even remember this now
Perhaps if he/she came across my blog, he/she might be nostalgic too?
I hope so, at least this friendship could be rekindled
Or left in the corner to just fade away into memory

Come to think of it, back in those secondary school days, we were really wild and carefree
We really had some great times, and some bad times
But im not saying that poly life is bad
It is more stressful, definitely
But poly life is actually pretty interesting too
You get to meet different kinds of people
Its where you can really get to meet your true friends
But at the same time meet two faced hypocrites that are out to harm you
Its a learning process that we all go through, gotta learn how to deal with it
At least, its something we need for in the future

Alright thanks for reading this post
Will be posting again soon
Till then, Cyah!

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN - LED ZEPPELIN

Never fails to keep me entertained
Even though some may not appreciate this song
But this song, in my view, is awesome :)

(June 1st, 1926 - August 5th, 1962)

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you are going to mess it up sometimes, it is a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you going to mess it up. People will be your friends - some will act like it anyway. But just remember; some come, some go. The ones that stay with you throughout everything - they are your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, some people make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well they come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart. But you cant give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once doesnt mean you are going to fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on and always always always believe in yourself, because if you dont, who will sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up and most importantly, keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there is so much to smile about.

- Marilyn Monroe

Most of my friends will know that i idolise Jay Chou
And perhaps if you had ever asked me why, i would have given you the same answer over and over again
So if you are reading this post, then i shall tell you the reason why I idolise this guy

Many people say that in terms of first impression, looks is very important
That i must agree because when i first get to know of Jay Chou, I think he's average looking
But what really makes him my idol is his talent for music.

He can:
1. Rap
2. Sing
3. Play the piano (Go watch 不能說的秘密, You'll see) and the guitar
4. Compose good music with catchy yet gentle and romantic tunes
5. Write meaningful lyrics in his songs
6. Direct and act in his own movie

However i must say when i heard his first few earlier songs, most of them were unclear because he mumbles his words
But gradually album after album, they start to become much more clearer
If you compare his earlier albums like 范特西 (2001) to his latest album 跨時代 (2010)
It is quite an obvious difference.
It is like, he strives to improve himself album after album
The vocals are clearer, the music sounds nicer and the lyrics are more meaningful
He even tried singing like 費玉清, a chinese oldie singer with a tremendous forcetto
Frankly speaking, whenever I need motivation, I'll just pop in my earpiece and listen to his songs

Anyway here are a few of his songs that are my favourites (Not in order)

1.
菊花台 (Chrysanthenum Terrace)
2. 白色風車 (White Windmill)
3. 七里香 (Common Jasmine Orange)
4. 楓 (Maple)
5. 黑色毛衣 (Black Sweater)
6. 最長的電影 (The Longest Movie)
7. 說好的幸福呢 (Where Is The Promised Happiness)
8. 超人不會飛 (Superman Cant Fly)
9. 說了再見 (Said Goodbye)
10. 退後(Retreat)

Yeap these 10 songs are the ones i think are better! But the rest of his songs are great too!

Oh yah and these few days are like the more suspensed days where results are released!
For those who did well, thats great! Keep it up yo!
For those who didnt do well, keep trying! Who knows, you can be like Jay Chou someday?

Anyway i saw a quote from one of my teachers on Twitter today
Thought it was meaningful so i shall share with you!
"Valuable lessons in life often come disguised as obstacles, setbacks, and heartbreaks. Don't become bitter. Simply become better."
Dont give up my friends!

Ok think this shall be the end of post
Thanks for reading, will be posting again soon
Till den, Cyah! :D

Have you ever had the feeling of "If that time i did that, i wouldnt have ended up like this today?"
That kind of regretful feeling, the disappointment and guilt
When I got back my A & P paper, yeap all these stuff suddenly rush towards me
But enough about that, I think i shall not dwell on it furthur

On a brighter note, BTT was great today, I passed!
When i saw the green word "Passed", i did the "YEAH!" action
I think the girl might be thinking "What a weird dude"
Haha! But nevertheless, I managed to book my Final Theory Test on 26th March
After school closes, it will be FTT chionging for me
If possible, Im gonna try and get my licence by 2011!
Maybe i can pen it down as my new year resolution?
Sounds like a good idea, yes? Haha!

Anyway i changed my blog song to The Flood by Take That
Its quite a great song though! A singles from their newest album, Progress
If you havent heard it before, you can give it a try! I think its pretty good
And if you think its good, maybe can try Patience and Rule the world, both songs by Take That
Yeap these 2 songs are pretty good too!

Ok guess its time for me to sleep!
Gonna head school earlier to have breakfast with some of my classmates
Alright thanks a lot for reading
Will be posting again soon
Till den, Cyah! :D

If you people dont know what show this is, you are missing out on a lot of stuff!
Its like it teaches you about life issues like relationships and careers
This show was actually recommended by my classmates
Initially when i watched Season 1 the first few episodes
I thought it was average only but when you reach the back episodes and seasons
You will realise that "Hey this show really is humorous and best of all, it teaches us things"
Im really glad that i manage to finish up till halfway of Season 6 though!
Now im just waiting for them to come up with new episodes
And Im sure it will be just as awesome and Legend -wait for it- Dary!




Anyway now im watching this show, its called The Big Bang Theory
Its another great show, humourous and interesting
Haha and i swear Sheldon Cooper (Played by Jim Parsons) is super hilarious
But some of their jokes a bit "deep" cause it concerns some nuclear physics of some sort
But overall its still great! Maybe a 7 or 8 outta 10?

The second half of the semester is always the worse part
Where the project submissions, deadlines, presentations, end semester tests and everything come crashing down on you within a short period of time
The stress level within this period is super high, its like we can hardly take a breather
But then its also the shorter period of the semester! Within 6 weeks we are done!
And then its the Holidays! -High Five!-

Gonna take my BTT tomorrow though
My E-trial results are inconsistent, sometimes pass sometimes fail
Its really a horrible nervous feeling when after you click the submit test button
That few seconds of suspense, haha!
If i fail tomorrow (Which i certainly hope i dont), I gotta wait like another 2-3 months maybe?
But i think im still gonna go continue reading and revising and hope for the best tomorrow!

Oh yeah by the way TP students, there is a promotion for Hei Sushi at Downtown East outlet only!
Check your TP email for more details
And dont worry, most likely you wont get slashed :)

Haha alright thats all for this post
Will be posting again soon
Till then, Cyah! :)

Alright first of all, I would like to wish you people a Happy New Year!

Just came back from Takashimaya and check out the stuffs i got from Armani! 1 shirt 2 T shirts and 1 berms. Happy boy! :) They were having great sales so decided to head there and get some stuffs before school reopens. Sadly i headed over to Marc Jacobs but they say only their Mandarin outlet gallery has guy stuffs so i guess its another time den! But anyway it was a great day today! I completed HIMYM season 4, had a great dinner at Angus and got stuffs from Armani! :)

Im happy to know i manage to complete my 2010 resolutions, with my last one on my 2M02 Sentosa chalet!

2010 resolutions
1. Earn $2000 by myself during holidays (Completed during the Aug-Oct holidays)
2. Pick up guitar lessons (Completed in June)
3. Hit at least 55KG (Completed 2 months ago)
4. Make more new friends (2M02, awesome)
5. Complete a full song (Completed 2, Your Guardian Angel - Red Jumpsuit and If - Bread)
6. Gym for a better body shape (Dont know how to measure this but im guessing should be done!)
7. Play a complete song in front of an audience (2M02 sentosa chalet, 23rd Dec)
8. Improve GPA (It did improve, not a lot and i wont say how much :D)

So... now onto my 2011 resolutions
1. Earn $5000 by myself (SIP included)
2. Complete a guitar song from either Metallica, Iron Maiden or Megadeth
3. Go clubbing
4. Try out Nudie Jeans, Marc Jacobs and Birkenstock
5. Make even more new friends
6. Run Standard Chartered 21km marathon
7. Hit at least 70KG
8. Be a happier and nicer person

Ok i know my resolutions sound a bit dumb
But im just gonna give it a try and hope i can complete them by the time 2011 ends
Come to think of it, 2010 wasnt that much of a bad year after all
I have some great times and some bad times
Great times includes the Cafe Del Mar drinking thing at Sentosa, 2M02 class chalet (both), MBS stay twice (Once with parents and another with friends), Ubin Cycliing, Birthday Chalet
Bad times included a heated argument with dad that left us cold war for a month, giving up Muay Thai and Brazillian Jiu Jitsu because i cant find the committment and time and a few more
But overall i feel my great times override my bad times
Hopefully 2011 will be an even better year!

Alright thanks for reading this post
Will be posting again soon
Till den, Cyah! :D

Have you ever heard of the story "The Ugly Duckling"?
Somehow i was walking past a Mum and her son at White Sands library the other day
When i heard her telling this story to him
Its really great and it reminds me of my childhood
The times when my mum would sit by my bed and read a story to me
Its true, im not afraid to admit it but its something sweet that a child can ask for

The story is kinda old, but what i remember from it was that there is this duckling
Who looks different from the rest of his duckling brothers and sisters
And his brothers and sisters laughed at him because he was different
However when this different duckling grew up, he became a swan
Outshine the rest of his brothers and sisters

This reminds me of what my good friend's father, Uncle Xun Da told me before he lost to cancer 2 years ago
He told me "Hey chesty (i've no idea why he likes to call me that)
It doesnt matter if a person is different from people
You can have the weirdest ambitions like conquering the world or dancing on the moon
People can laugh at you, throw smirks and insults at you
But in the end, if you grit your teeth and endure all this things
You will realise that when you become successful, its all worth every single drop of sweat
Every single drop of tear, every single drop of blood

Inspiring words, inspiring story
Its great knowing a guy like him
In fact i think i heard she remarried last year
Hopefully Aunt Mary is doing well now in Canada with the rest of their family
I doubt I will see them again, anytime in the near future

Oh well, guess i shall head back to my books
Gonna get a birthday present for Mum tonight
Will take a picture and post it on my blog in the next post
Stay tuned and thanks for reading
See yah! :)

I know this space has been updated very inconsistently haha but thankfully the 2 IJ presentations are done.
Damned stress for the past few days + the collation of the SPSS thing last week, i swear i was super frustrated.
One of my other friend who was collating also started getting frustrated because if we dont hand it in time to the in-charge, we are responsible for it.
I tell you that day i was looking through the SPSS i totally just cant take it anymore, gonna be a bad boy for once and throw it to the in-charge since he is way better than me in terms of studies
Haha! Ok i admit I'm mean :)

Mid sems are coming! And ive only started a bit on CRM, IM and A & P

After the 30 days challenge was completed
I just cant find that motivation to get off my bed and type in some words and feelings into this space
Haha anyway life has been going on quite well

Even though the week had been a stressful one
But at least im happy that there are some great stuffs from it
Perhaps i can say like yesterday was the most stressful one among the rest of the days?
Yesterday morning had POC test
Studied late at night on both thursday and friday night
You know yesterday morning i actually had a thought
"What am i doing here in school on a great Saturday morning?"
Haha but its alright! I mean at least the test was quite... alright in a certain way or so
But whatever the test is over so its one subject down, for the time being...
Had lunch with Aet, Andy and Dodo at T1 yesterday
Bought $6 worth of char siew
Not that i wanted $6
But the dude said minimum must buy $6
So i no choice buy cause Mum wants it
Sadly in the end, when we went home to try
It wasnt the one that Mum wanted
Cause the previous stall owner had moved out already
So therefore this is so called like "fake" in a way
Damned waste $6 for nothing! ):


Guitar lesson yesterday afternoon was awesome
Managed to showcase my entire week of hardwork
That can be seen from my skin tearing fingers
Red and sore
Haha but what to do!
If i wanna make it a hobby that can help me pay my bills in the future
Then this is the first price that i must pay
Haha watch out Singapore
Another Jay Chou in making!
After guitar i would be continuing my piano lessons
Kinda stopped it when i was in sec 2
Cause i didnt like my teacher cause she keep making me play nursery rhymes
Maybe that altered my perception towards piano stuff?
Well... the only song that i imparted from those day is the song Let It Be by the Beatles
That was... the only song that i actually found worthwhile playing!

Yesterday night was spending my time rushing out an A & P competitors thing
I actually mixed up A & P and CRM clients!
Haha yesterday when i started doing, i did on RISIS
I search their competitors and analyse their data only to find out
OH WAIT A & P is QUAKER!
Haha so i deleted everything and redid
From Royal Selangor and Pandora
Change to Uncle Toby and Nature Valley
Oh well, blur me! Haha

Anyway today is gonna be a stay home sunday for me
But maybe playing basketball with Quinton later
See how first, depends on the weather too
Weather has been unpredictable these few days
Rain and shine, no wonder so many people falling sick
Oh well haha guess i shall go update my calendar!
Thanks for reading and see you soon! :D

•Day 26- What you think about your friends

I realised that throughout my entire schooling life
I have made friends of different personalities and life style

When i was in primary school, i used to hang out with those nerds
Recess is eat maid's prepared sandwiches
And playing those hand fingers game (Chi go pa!)
And chinese chess too! Hahaha

When i was in secondary school, i hang out with people who usually gets called out by the DM
Because we all would do mischiveous stuffs together
Get into trouble together
Morning assembly late or never bring book go stand at flagpole together
Recess come up forget bring book stand on stage together
Class time make fun of teacher kenna punish stand up together
Forget bring books for lesson kenna punish stand outside class together
But those were really the great times that we had together!

After O levels before Poly, i hang out with "gangsters"
Why "gangsters"? with the inverted commas
Because they were those who are trying hard to be gangsters but end up in total failure
Dont ask me why i chose to hang out with them in the past
All i remember is was that i used to think gangsters were cool
But luckily i've passed that stage of my life already
I think gangsters are a total waste of space and resources
Some of them i hate them to the core too
And this is also one of the reasons why i pick up Muay Thai
To defend myself against these losers just in case!

During my year one in TP, i started becoming very quiet
Because i realise that by not talking too much stuffs
I can make lesser mistakes by not talking much
And this was the time when i get interested in branded stuffs too
My clique of friends kinda influence me haha
But i know its not their fault because in the end the decision is up to me
They were those who buy Nudie, Gucci those kinda high end brands
I choose to stick with the not so high like Armani and Fred Perry
Haha cause first of all im not as rich as them
And second of all i dont think i can maintain branded stuffs well

During my second year in TP, i get to know a more matured group of people
And in fact, this group of people is the one that bonds closely with one another
We lend each other a helping hand whenever we need
We have lunch together, hang out at each other's places together
Joke and tease each other together
Its great knowing this group of people
Apart from my secondary school friends, they are the ones that are closer to me
Serious! Hahaha

Overall, apart from the "gangsters" mentioned earlier
I think that all of them are awesome
They are like awesome to the max
Absoultely Legend.... Wait for it.... Dary!
Haha alright thats it for Day 26! :D

•Day 24- A letter to your parents

Dear Mum and Dad


Im not sure whether you two will be coming across my blog to read this post but i just wanna say that im a very lucky son to have such wonderful parents like you two. Ever since from young, you two gave me the freedom that i wanted, you two let me do stuffs that i want, whatever things i need you two would try your best to get it for me. Though sometimes we may get unlucky, and i may get scolded or something if i dun have it, the most important thing is that i know you two were there to help me when i needed it. You two never failed to give me your support, no matter how stupid the things i do can get.

Remember when i was 4, i wanted to enter the colouring competition so much and though it was kinda late for registration, you two still tried to persuade the manager to put me in. That day, though i was still young, i can still remember how much you two had wanted me to succeed in life. Though im not sure how colouring can lead me to do big things in the future, but the most important thing is, you two were there for me.

When i was 9, i remember i did very badly in the final year exams. Back then, i would hide the report book under my bed, keep dragging on until i had no choice but to tell you i received it back. You two were angry at that time because it was the first time I actually lied and im very sorry to make you two sad.

When i was 10, i remember i hated my cousin cause he used the F word on me. I stole his favourite cd game when he wasnt looking. When you two found out that i had stolen it, you two hit the roof and im truly sorry. It was at a heat of the moment that i did such a foolish stuff.

When i was 13, i was enrolled into Coral Sec due to my PSLE results. But you two were there to help me persuade Mrs Mary Koh, Hai Sing's principal to let me into Hai Sing. I know how much you two wanted me to go to school more conveniently as our house was far away from Coral Sec and that you two dun wan me to tire myself out everyday by walking a long distance. In the end i really got into Hai Sing and i am very very grateful for what you two had done for me. However, i was an ass back then even when the exams are near, i continued fooling around and neglected my studies.

When i was 15, the worse things happened to me. I foolishly thought that by finishing the final years, truancy was no matter. But i was so freaking wrong when Mr Surin pulled me out. He nearly suspended me from school (Though i dun think it needs to be this serious), you two went to Hai Sing to talk with him. I knew you two were very very disappointed in me and i know i had let you two down. Worse still, when i got back my final year results, it wasnt good enough for me to go up to sec 4. But Mr Surin gave me a chance, he let me do the bridging exams. You two knew that this was my last hope of getting up to Sec 4 and you two were there to help me out with the subjects i keep failing with. You two could forsake your work to come help me, im seriously grateful for it. In the end, i managed to pass the bridging exams and head up to sec 4 and i could see that gleam of happiness in both your eyes. I know that i couldnt have done it alone, without your consistent supporting. Even up till today, im still grateful for whatever things you two do for me.

When i said i needed a sandbag to train my Muay Thai, you two helped me gather info to find one. Though we didnt manage to find one, but its your concern for me that counts. When i said i needed a ride to a friend's place for a party or a ride to school, you two would always send me there, even though i remember there was once Mum was late for work and got scolded by her boss because you two sent me to a friend's place in Jurong. When i said that i wanted to go out at around midnight to chat with my friends at Pasir Ris Central, though you two reluctantly allowed me to go, but i can see that worried look. Thats why i always promise myself to get home before the timing i told you i would be back by.

You know sometimes ive always been thinking how lucky i am to have such wonderful parents like you two and yet many a times i disappoint you two by doing stuffs that are downright dumb in the first place. So for that, im sorry i wont do those things again, promise.

P.S: I love you, Mum and Dad! (:


Your dearest son
Chester

I cant believe im actually trying hard to hold back my tears while writing this post
After writing out this post, i realised how wonderful my parents are
I always take them for granted, get frustrated over the trivial of things
When i look at those orphans out there in this cold harsh world
I realise that, hey actually im a fortunate kid
I have 2 people to dote on me, shower me with all the love and care
I should cherish what i have and not get frustrated over stuffs that i dont
Even though i know you two are not exactly 100% agreeable on me getting branded stuffs
But i promise you, Mum and Dad, I've past that immature stage of my life.
Its time for me to know what's right and what's wrong
How to control and limit myself
Because I want to be the ideal son
The best gift from God to you two
Because you two are the best gift God has given me.

Alright thats it for Day 24!
Thanks for reading this super long, super emo post! :D
