apologies to all faithful blog readers for the moment of silence spanning the last 4 days.
work has really taken its toll.
free time has become inexistant, and the late nights have been really straining.
to make things worse, i've to go for another interview tomorrow for a new job, which starts on monday. crap. i don't feel like working anymore.

i've already amassed enough cash to get my electrc guitar.
crud. i've had enough a taste of the real world thank you.

although i don't really see myself selling handphones when i enter the workforce, i'd think work is supposed to be crappy as such, and thus i shall not want to find out too much the lousy conditions. leave me in my state of ignorance. :)

last day of work at singtel today.
so sad. no more playing with all the new phones, but i'm quite happy as im really sick of working there.
sigh. this post is soooo random.
error : brains not connected to fingers
retry?
no/no.

having a change from the mainly work-orientated posts that have dominated this blog the past few days, i shall not speak of anything to do with lousy customers or funny names, unlike all the rest of the posts....

probably because i got my new vans!~
or as gamers would put it : w00ts!

another daring step into poseurhood.
with great reluctance though. i just think vans look nice. so shoot me. ;)
anyway. it was time to let go of my old adidas superstars.
retro(what superstars are supposed to be) never meant they had to look as though they were there age old.



superstars. price : SGD$88.
duration : year and 5 months.
heyyy... some people say seasoned looks better.
maybe so, but i say, seasoned?
salt or pepper?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


real bad condition.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but yea, honestly speaking... its about time to change shoes when you realise that your pair of adidas, made long before the time climacool technology existed, starts to feel like shoes with it.
complete with the water letting in holes on the soles.
ooo....



and yea. when they start looking like something out of dr.frankenstein lab...
i had to staple my shoes together when they gave started to give way during work.
talk about selling you sole to the devil.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lets just say... i had decided to change my shoes a long long time ago. but time doesn't seem to like hanging around with me at the moment.
but finalllllyyy!~


wheeeee x)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

price : SGD$107

one of the few shoes to have actually been mentioned in a song too. funkae :

"...It's stupid, contagious

To be broke and famous

Can someone please save us

from punk rock 10.

My Dickies, your sweat bands

My spiked hair, your new Vans

Let's throw up our rock hands

for punk rock 101..."

(bowling for soup - punk rock 101)

ahhh... small, insignificant. but... still cool. x)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and they gave me 2 colours for laces. hmmm. freestyle :)

different coloured laces. one per shoe. couldn't decide.

yupsss.... so shoes : check. gao tim.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

next up,

electric guitar, new pair of levis(optional), material to modify/customize jeans.

so many wants.

got willingness, no ability.

demand for cash exceeds supply. hence scarcity.

crap. first 3 months withdrawl. anyway...

aiya. one by one lar hor^^

hmm.

work's getting better in terms of the ease of answering customers.
customers have gotten worse though. i just don't get why some people just want to be the scum of the earth.
from a person scolding me(and thus making a scene) for wasting 22cents on his hi-card when i, out of good-will(as such is not part of my job), attempted to help him do some settings on his phone.
for goodness sake.
if he needed that 22 cents soooo very badly, i'd just give it to him.
didn't have to make me feel like taking a two dollar note, rolling it, turning it sideways, and shoving it up his candy a--.
excuse my french.

then the person on the phone, who rudely declined to disclose ANY information about the fixed-line sms phone for our shop's database, citing reasons that we should already have the information stored on our computers.
despite me telling her politely about the lists for the other outlets possibly not coinciding, she stuck to her "i-don't-wanna-tell-you-anything-so-bugger-off" attitude.
bah.
must be still single.

okay. 'nuff lamenting.
maybe they had a screwy day and just decided to spread the crap around. how thoughtful.

work is becoming better too as my colleagues are starting to warm up a little more. :)
quite a bunch of nice, fun people, though the sheer nature of the job disallows for very much bonding. :(
oh well...
at least i won't get that attached to them. sigh

5 more days to go!~

just got back from CF camp.
realized nothing beats the satisfaction of so many people wearing the shirt you designed, and being the only happy-'camper' to get the personnel tee (which comes in a nicer colour combination. ;)
whee.

then i found out after looking closer at the tee, and realized that i actually submitted the wrong design.
i submitted the one with less details, a previous version of the final proposed design.
gahhhh.
oh well. still looks cool i guess.

left camp a day earlier, missing the campfire. crud. no great-balls-of-fire for me.
poo.

tomorrow shall be going back to work again. sighhhh.
work ends this thursday!
can't wait. paycheck!~

oh yea. anyone up for shopping the week after?
so much to get. :)

dan's wishlist after getting paycheck:

• new pair of vans(i still think etnies are uglier. hrumph)
• electric guitar!
• tees, boardshorts

then i'll be broke. hmmm.

my grandpa's in the hospital with urinary tract infection and toxin build up. prayers would be appreciated. thanks.

i hate this.
everyone is in school, and i'm working.
feel sooo.... left out.
sigh.

i already miss going to school.
anyone for a reunion yet? x)
really miss all the sajc people. hmmm.
and the sas people. but yea, i was missing them since last year... so yea.

to think when i was schooling i kept wishing i could get out of school.
ahh. the irony.

oh wait. but i did wish i was working doing something that i liked.
so this doesn't count. ^^
i shall maintain the positive mentality.
work might very well be fun in the future!~

only one moreee... weeeeek.... then i'm outta work!~
anyone wanna go for a drink?

okay. results out, got into my first choice, singapore poly archtecture. whoopee.
i'm not as scared/excited/reluctant to go to my new school, as many people are at the moment.
hmm... maybe its because school doesnt start for another month and a half.

i shall proceed to laugh at the jc people, who have to go to school tomorrow, reporting at 7.30am in the morning. :) wahahahahhahahh. ^^
honestly speaking, making the students report the day after getting they're results isn't a very nice thing to do. =/
i'd think the reality of the postings wouldn't sink in in a day.
no time to think where to commit suicide, no time to bring friends for a treat. bleah.

poor jc people.

"i fart in your general direction!"

-from monty python and the holy grail

:)

but to see everyone go somewhere else while i'm still stuck in the transition between secondary and poly is pretty sad. nothing to do, while everyone is going out, making new friends, playing around in jc...

sigh. please don't send me any of those 'wish you were here' cards. thank you.

i'll miss everyone.

(i'd rather not say any names. later forget people sure get killed. :)

i'll miss jc. :(

welcome to life.

update. results out. got into architecture. yipee.
praise the Lord.

some people may not get it... ask me and i shall tell you! ^^
- work has become boring. like its supposed to be. sigh... and i thought a fun job was still achievable.
-tomorrow is the last day of school. ARGHHHHZ! and i can't attend it. blast it.
the previous last day of school was cancelled, and now i've got work. >.< another to testify for the validity of murphy's law.

-my pay is going to a new pair of shoes, an eletric guitar, and some clothes. don't expect me to treat after that. x) yesh... including you da ng.

yups. thats about it.

today : part1

i discovered that many people have strange names, while calling people up.
you know what... i'd never had know there were people called the following:

'siu mai'
who knows.... maybe his brother is 'har gao' or his sister is 'char siew bao'(heh heh heh ;). but yea...welcome to the dimsum family...

'chin chai'
you know what... i have this feeling i know how he got his name....

[wife] eyyy... wa lang oo zi eh ta por kia!~ ler ai gio yi si mi? (we have a son. what do you want to call him?)
[husband] *visibly distraced, couldn't care less* aiya! meng wa zho si mi?! chin chai lar!~ (aiya!~ ask me for what?! anything can lar!)
[wife] orhhh!~ chin chai ah?... ho seh! (chin chai? okay, good!~)

and thus they're son was named chin chai. just think of what would have happened if the husband had hearing difficulties and said something like... 'si mi sai?!'(what shit?)

'lian ah beng'

er... i'd think the person was having trouble thinking whether they're kid was male or female and would just like to give they're kid a nice... menacing name. ^^

-----------------------------------------------------------
hey man... what am i doing laughing at other people's names? not like mine is very nice or anything....
so bad sia...
hmmm... reminds me of somebody...........
.... lalalala x)

---------------end part one--------------

today : part2

went to planetshakers concert with dan ng, charmie, and lebbb. the main gig was great. the place was really rockin'.
although i'd think the hillsongs concert was better, as today's was really limited in terms of songs.
before the singing and stuff.... i'd encountered something i didn't particularly agree with.

the pre-show thing involved some girl probably from the church organizing.

there was like speaking of tongues. as in... the more charismatic way.
i'd think the problem is that i'm not used to it, so take no offence all charis pple.
i mean... i've got nothing about the speaking of tongues part, but yea, the the girl said something to the effect of...
"lets all speak tongues together!~"
and then she had to try to speak, in something that sounded like she was trying to pretend being a truck. yes, you heard me right. a truck.

brrrr.... room roommmm!~

that just freaked me out.
then there was the free giving of tees that i didn't particularly agree with... they were like...
WHO WANTS FREE TEEES?
den they start flinging them with the aid of some catapult contraptions, as if it were some publicity stunt.
-.-"

oh well... i guess there are many different types of christians around, but i'd think i'm quite happy being more to the conservative side. :)

after the whole thing, we dropped off at swensens to get an earthquake, and try to do stupid things like tie the stick end of a cherry into a knot. oh what fun.

---------end part two-------------------

end of the day, tired. gotta go church and back to work thereafter.
at least it was a more eventful day today. x)

day3 work.

my day consisted of calling 150-200 customers asking when and where they collected they're fixed line sms phone.
whee.
rite.

was pretty easy, until i realised i had to do for chinese too.
so poor daniel had to answer all those phone calls and asked people in his 'half-bucket full'(ban4 tong2 shui3) chinese. oh well. x)
explaining about contracts and smses in chinese is also a pain.

then when i thought things couldn't get any worse....

[dc] hi, im calling from hello@bugis regarding the fixed line sms phone...
[person] haaa? li gong si mi?
[dc] errrrr.... repeats himself in chinese.
[person] haaa? li gong si mi! wa tia bo!~
[dc] ehhhhhh... errr.... *realises that i can't explain anything about the fixed line sms phone in HOKKIEN* orh. wa dan zhey ca lai hor. gam sia.

and i don't call after that, hopefully leaving it for the next temp staff to do it. x)
okay. that's my day. kaooo....
oh yea... im also starting to drink hot coffee... i must be ageing prematurely. must be work.
plus delifrance and coffeebean are so nearby. hhaahah... oh well...

day2 at work.
getting used to it.
i get paid to do almost nothing.
well... maybe its just today. i'm not complaining though... just that its a tad bit boring.

met up with j.ong, erica, jilyn for pinkie's birthday 'celebration' @ marche.
was er... an overwhelmingly......
... low turnout.
hmm.
it was okay i guess. didn't really do much. got pinkie a cake.
dinner was fine, besides j.ong being a pain in the proverbial arse.
okay. that's about it.
only 2 days into work and i can see my life dulling already. goshhh.
back to work tomorrow!~

Day One : Work at Singtel's hello @ bugis.

10.00am - reach workplace 1/2 an hr before starting time. went to walked around and went to toilet to pass time. not motion. ;)

10.30am - entered shop, briefed with the rest of the full time staff by some malay or indian woman named sara. couldn't really tell. seemed rather friendly, but almost completely ignored me.
11.00am - shop opens. did nothing much for the first hour, attended to some person who had trouble with his k700i. simple stuff. helped @ information stand.

12.ooam onwards - got to work doing mixed stuff. showed customers how to use phones(dispite knowing next to nothing), got my hands on phones i could never afford. ooo. fun.

2pm - see my manager, who barrs me from going into the store to get phones, as temp staff aren't supposed to deal with such stuff in the first place. at least i got my 2 hours of glory. x)

manager description:
-short
-streaked golden hair
-biker
-3 large tattoos on back and arms.
- FEMALE.

freeeeky sheets. a pretty friendly tho. despite the fact that her speech is riddled with hokkien swear words and other crude stuff. a funny person who thinks im hopeless. (hopefully just saying that for fun tho. ) perfectionist too. demanding that i stack the boxes EXACTLY in line. =/

3pm - go for lunch with some guy named steven. coaches me later on about broadband and handphone plan information. the job i take on, before finally settling down to what i'm supposed to do.

4pm - equipped with all knowledge, i head back and tackle many customers. oh what fun.
until the stupid auntie comes in.

[dc] hi. may i help yooo....... [interupted.]
[auntie] where are the price plans. <--- demand. not question. hence the lack of a question mark.
[dc] er... okay i'll go get it for you.

- [auntie] helps herself to the seat at the emtpy stall supposed to be for attending to buyers. -

[dc] here's the plans.

- [auntie] takes out m1 and starhub papers. -

[auntie] tell me what makes the singtel plan better than the m1 and the starhub plan.
[dc] *stumped* err... er... you see ahh... the singtel plans offer blah blah blah....

- pointing @ the brochure. -

[auntie] what? READ TO ME. I SHORT-SIGHTED.
[dc] &*%(%&%($ (under his breath)

- begins to read out like a retard-

[auntie] same what. *raises voice* so m1 better lar... i go buy.
[dc] bleah.... ehh....

- calls for assistance -

and daniel is saved by his collegue who slays the ferocious, rude, irritating auntie with her fantastic tonguesword. phew.

that was the worst for the day. thank goodness.
the more subtle ones were just...

[dc] may i help yooo....
[anon] NO.

which i expected to get. so it wasn't that bad. :)

5pm - start work on calling customers to redeem they're smsphone. my originally intended job.
call call call call....

6.30pm - finish calling. customers come in. start chopping warranty cards, redeeming phones. and attending to customers questions about handphones in between doing the other jobs.

9.00am - knock off, 1.5hrs later than my supposed knock of time. but i guess its due to getting used to first day stuff. manager promises 7.30pm tomorrow. :)
go eat takopachi and 1 beard papa cream puff for dinner. realised i worked for 9.5hrs. totaling to 62 bucks in one day. fantastic. pay comes in on the 5th of apr. yayyy... gonna be rich!~

10pm - reach home. waste time blogging about my long day. get really really tired.

now- time to go bathe. tomorrow work again. there went my life. =/

i got a job.
2+ weeks assignment. til the end of the month.
goodie.

all free time has gone to the dogs. sigh.
but yea, i knock off at about 7.30pm everyday, so anyone wants maybe to go for a drink or a movie, pweeeeease call me!
i'll die without going out. sighhhh... but that's life i guess.
i start work tomorrow. too soon mannn...
but its now or never. =/
the pay is pretty good....
just that i've gotta work everyday for the next two weeks. sigh.

i can't find a pair of vans.
etnies and globe just don't cut it. overpriced and ugly.
although maybe its just me.
im finally gonna trade in my poser-ish adi superstars for a even more poser-ish vans.
but i guess poser is the way to go nowadays. x)
i saw a really nice pair of vans @ stadium like 3 days ago.
and guess what. stadium is down for renovations now. gahhh...
oh welll.... i shall wait.
patience is a virtue.

bleah.
what am i doing talking about my shopping experience.
i think i've just nothing much to blog about.
tomorrow is my first day at work! yipeee.
lala... and the money keeps rollin' in... ...

class outing to sentosa.
ouch. sunburn. yes, one of the rare occasions.
strangely enough, only my nose and cheeks. gahhh.
i bring panda-monium.

was an okay outing i guess. although there was a clear clique segregation, it was still fun i guess. more boring than usual though.
dunking was a letdown. everybody voluntarity jumped into the water. gahh. no fun. x)

then went to seoul garden for dinner.
played stupid things like that number guessing game...
ended up eating fried watermelon with garlic.
bleah.
damn full.
then stayed to have an educational session with some ignorant non-bio background people. was like realllly funny. hahha.

ahhh. these are the days.
wish they'd never end. but oh wellll.... live for the moment.
back to job hunting tomorrow. :(
desperately need cash. gotta get to work! sigh.
i need lobang! helpppp!~

NEWSFLASH.
regarding the trip to sentosa tomorrow.

all a41-ers please report @ 10am, harbour front. thanks. bring suits/trunks if intending to strip/tan, but it is highly unadvisable for people with no bod to show off, eg. yours truly, lest you, in the wise words of kelvin tan, incur external costs on the people around you.

err... bring sunblock/tanning lotion(if necessary), a change of clothes(esp underwear unless you enjoy having sand in your buttcrack.), and bathing stuff (towels, shampoo, soap) unless you have the intention to shake dry or smell funky after everything.

everyone should be prepared get dunked (except those who are dunk-proof, eg. your's truly, who being the nice person that he is, will attempt to dunk himself.)
you have been warned.
cases where it is inappropriate to dunk a person will be done on a case by case basis.
okay, i think that's it. :)

@_@
finally did up the CF camp tee design.
i'm not supposed to show anyone, although by the time i found that out, i had shown like 2 people for opinions already. hahaha...
it took me a whole 2 and a half hours, so you'd better like it or elseeee......
heh heh :)

when i was told that i had to get a design out by tomorrow, i almost freaked.
i was in the middle of watch gundam seed on vcd, when the phone rang.

"dateline?! tomorrow?!"
"one colour only?!"

yes... welcome to the real world dc.
take the red pill, and choke on it
or the blue pill, and choke on it.

some choice that is.
and so daniel made the long and strenuous journey to the dvd player...
gritting his teeth and pressing on.......
on the OFF button.

switched on the computer, and started work.
you know what, with such expectations, i should get paid mannn....
hahah... but who am i to complain.
for the good of all mankind, i shall not expect anything in return.
buttt... a meal, or a free tee, or a nice s+arck mouse WOULD be nice. *hint* *hint*

but yea, its all done up, so i can finally rest my weary eyes and very sore bum.
but i was fun designing.
i hope work next time will be like that. x)

and please, don't tell me its not.
i'd rather get sucked by robots as batteries than to find out. ;)

job hunting is hard work. really hard work. so hard to find anything.
well... first time i walked out of anything without being asked to do so.
but the job agency people were irritating. how many people just leave clients unattendend? gahhh.

watched spongebob squarepants the movie today. couldn't resist it. hahaha...
ladies and gentlemen, please leave your brains at the door before entering the cinema.
was funny nonetheless. just like a spongebob episode. just that the action and suspense parts were just downright cheesy (can't expect THAT much from such a show ;) . other than that, it was hilarious.

den went for bible study. end of day. haha.

what a boring day.
spent the whole morning doing cards for all my friends, to realize that virtually nobody is coming to school on friday as there isn't school. dang it.
i might have to post it to them or meet them or something.
so many stamps! arrrgh...
howwww?!

then went over to shop with sam, rox and kelv.
although shopping would be not be the proper terminology as we didn't buy anything.
ah whatever.
we walked around the place. :)
and sat and macs, talking rubbish.
and met cyrena.
and continued to talk rubbish
sho fun. ^^
den went off to walk around again....

and then went to the IT fair.
this year's IT fair is pretty disappointing this year.
so small...
besides cameras and mp3 players - none of which i need at the moment, there wasn't really that much to look at.
but i did see some nice stuff.

my techno, IT fair,2005 wishlist:

1. geforce 6800 ultra 256mb graphics card ($1,049)
2. microsoft phillpe s+arck designer mouse ($29.90)

sigh. anyone wanna buy for me? ^^ *swwwweeet smile!*

oh, tomorrow i shall go to look for a job. :) hope i find something soon. neeeeed cash! x)

i went to school todayyy! first day this week.
didn't do anything. really.
played taboo with claire, fiz, yongkia, sam, j.ong for in the morning, before heading off to econs lect (which i didn't bring the notes for x)
taboo was funny.

word : 'kiss'
[dc] : er... french what?! french what!!!.
[fiz] : err....-loaf? err.... fries?!

*what the heck* -_-"

then went to play pool with kelv, fiz, natasha, and surprisingly sam today.
was pretty lousy pooling. played only an hour.
then went to catch 'lemony snicket's - a series of unfortunate events'

lemony snicket's - a series of unfortunate events is a stinky poo poo show.
yucks. so boring. to think it was nominated for something during the the academy awards and the oscars. goshh...
was gonna fall asleep.
2/5!

okay. i guess that's about it for the day. kinda boring day, but i guess spending time with the people you ain't gonna see anymore, soon, is time pretty well invested. :)
all friendly people pwwweaase come on friday?

crashed rjc today.
really slack rules and stuff.
didn't really like it to be honest. the people are tooo.... uptight? unfriendly.
everyone seemed to be like studying. really freaky.
big school though. rather empty.

i saw bryan tay and ryan ho today! wahhh... been really really long, although they still look the same. :) i think i changed the most coz ryan couldn't really recognize me at first. oh well... at least its not a change for the worse.

then i went out with some of my class people to catch hitch. pretty good show surprisingly. expected it to be really lousy. x)
3.75/5!

im pooped. sigh. neeeed rest. going to school tomorrow too. :) last few days in school better cherish em.

bubbles escaped the tank again.

i have the sudden urge to rename bubbles copperfield or something.
despite lowering the water level by a whole approximately 2 inches, he somehow managed to climb up the water veggies, up the filter tube, out of the tank, fall about a metre of the table, crawl 3 metres to the door, into my toilet, and hide under the sink.

and thankfully emerge unscathed.

small shlobster, big dreams.
the escape from alcatraz.

so i picked him up again, and returned him to the tank. but this time i raised the water level a little, and placed a netting over the tank. i hope he doesn't try some other high maneuver stunt and escape the tank, maybe clawing through the netting in the process.
unbelievable, but after today, anything seem's possible.

gonna crash rj tmmr!
lets see how it turns out.

finally the camera is back, and thus i'm able to post the pictures of my two dear shlobsters.

for those who didn't read the post 2 days back, a shlobster is the term used to describe an oversized shrimp creature with reinforced carapace and overdeveloped pincers, IF you have no idea what in blue heck they're really supposed to be called. hence the name shlobster(shrimp- lobster).
definition taken from dc's dictionary of unknowns.

____________________________________________
without further ado, this is my tank.

not in very good condition, but i kinda gave up moving the stuff around because my shlobsters keep digging at the stuff. hence the uprooted veggies and the moved filter. but i guess it doesn't look that bad. :)

____________________________________________

shlobsters aren't what i'd call shrimp because they've got too big pincers. yesh, they have pincers. not really that big, but bigger than those of a say.... prawn.

a shlobster!

____________________________________________

now say hello the the shlobs.

jacques and bubbles. x) now aren't they like the cutest things around?
if you still don't know how i got the names for them, refer to the post 2 days back. i don't wanna waste time explaining. ;)

____________________________________________

bubbles. favourite hangout atop my filter clawing away at the bubbles. loves to push my filter around the place too. darn irritating. escaped the tank yesterday too. hahha...
can be told apart from jacques by the red streaks on its side.


____________________________________________

jacques. pretty lazy. what a shlob. ^^ spends a lotta time underneath his log house. coming out to feed or when you put your face to the tank.
characteristic blue marking on left pincer.


____________________________________________

all that was this afternoon. i just ate dinner. yum...



that's not a shlob. ;) hahhaha.... er... some pic i found on the camera. my sis took it in malaysia, altho i wonder why. x)

____________________________________________

okay. now you guys know what im keeping. :) i'll bet everyone wants a shlobster now!
currently there's no other organisms in my fishtank, besides 2 shlobsters, 1 clump of water veggies, and probably some micro-organisms floating around. but i will get some eels as soon as i get a bigger tank. :)
yipeee....

cycle&crampage.
deals on wheels man.
bikes come with free sore legs and cramps.

haha. today we went to ubin to cycle. fun. really.
its been like sooo long. the last time i went was in primary 5. haha. goshhh.
hasn't really changed much though.
cycle cycle cycle until legs cramped. fantastic. feels good.
surprisingly, big ants and big mosquitoes didn't bug me, despite not putting repellant.

after the cycling, we went to eat a surprisingly disappointing steamboat from some restaurant at marina bay, and thus i've decided to go back to where we normally eat at for steamboats.

i discovered too, that i can't play sissors-paper-stone for nuts...
not chee-ko-pa. x)
ended up eating to much stupid food. thanks debbbb -_-"
crapppp... so full now. needa diet again... or excercise.
sighhh...
stupid steamboat! ahhh...

yesterday bubbles climbed out of my fishtank.
found him snuggled next to my pump and bookshelf after climbing up the water veggies and the filter tube.
surprisingly hardy animals they are. survived, still as happy as ever, and back in the fishtank, with all hope of escaping gone after i lowered the water level and made the filter tube vertical.
unless they surprise me with some extremely acrobatic stunts which i highly doubt they're capable of. thank goodness. x)

im dead tired. sigh.

yayyy. i finally got my lobsters!~
i don't think they're lobsters actually... maybe some sort of gigantic shrip with strengthened exoskeletons and overdeveloped claws. maybe shlobsters.
they look like lobsters tho. x)
bought two of em from the shop opposite my house at S$1.50 each.
haha. they are like sooooo cute! kawaiiii-ne!~
er hem.
i've given them names too.
jaques and bubbles. although i can't really tell if they're male or female, i just decided to name them regardless of sex.
jaques (pronounced along the lines of 'jock') is named after the shrimp from finding nemo. x)
and bubbles, contrary to popular belief, is not named after the powerpuff girl. its named after i discovered that its favourite hangout is atop my filter, clawing away at the bubbles floating upwards.
cool huh? :)
i shall post some pictures when my sis comes back from malacca with the camera. bleahhh.
the tank is pretty empty at the moment, with a piece of wood, veggies, rocks, and two shlobsters.
i wanna get two eels soon. x)
weird stuff is coool. ^^

i'm feeling a lot better. thanks deb and cm for making me realise that at least some people still care. :)
plus, that record-breaking long 9 hour sleep did help a lot. ^^
everything seems to be going fine.
all that's left to settle is the main problem.
sigh.
gotta go see the lecturers at sp for some career counselling. let's hope they say some useful stuff i could use against the forces of evil.
but im a lot better now. don't worry about me. :)

crap.
to think i was wishing i scored better yesterday.

now i wish i scored worse.
i wish somehow it were easier to do what you want, instead your parents trying to screw all your dreams.
as if bad results weren't good enough.
screw all the materialistic shits around for swaying the everyone to thinking that everything is about the money.
screw the parents who want to force their children to do what they never could achieve.
screw it all.
to think they actually said they'd let me go to poly to do archi last year.
now what?
liars.

i'd better stop soon before anymore profanity comes from me.
sorry everyone.
sometimes life really sucks.

i really don't know what to do now. really really.
God help me.

march 2nd, 2 days since the results came out.
a lot happier. :)

went to play pool with kelv and jael yesterday.
amazing how much 3hours of pool can do to your mood.
clearly the stress of the results need an outlet x), which can be clearly seen in horridly stupid shots and the overly gay neoprints after the session.

i just love the feeling of retardation.
to think i was playing at a playground with the srjc people the evening before.
shhhwing!~

blasting greenday(although they're not really loud) and sleeping to the spirited away ost also does wonders.

pretty irritated with the replies i'm getting lately too

[person] so how much did you get?
[dan] forteen. damn sad. =/
[person] oh okay waddd.... so where you heading?
[dan] sp. architecture.
[person] WHHHHATTT?

yesh people. i'm crazy wanting to go to poly. fine.
just go bug someone else wants to go poly with jc marks, i've had enough of that, thank you.

i've almost forgotten about the crappy results. yay. ^^
all that's left is to register soon, probably tomorrow, and thereafter i can enjoy a two month break before the poly term begins.

post-exam.
bad result hangover.
just a little aches, crankiness... (or is that what happens every morning.. hmmm)

not too bad lar. :)
the funny thing is that i don't feel crappy anymore after sleeping.
sleeping is like the best way to feel better for anything.
new lovely day. trying to start it with a little positivity.
hopefully not to the point where i start grinning to myself though. x)

okay. news flash...

NEWSFLASH!
this friday got cycling on pulau ubin for all 05A41-ers. please call/message me if interested. :)
