Ha.. Let's start with the bday gathering I had with the 'gang'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17th October 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still rmbr that I was supposed to meet Li, Jun they all for dinner first. BUT left HTA damn late due to the rehearsals for my squad(C4/2007)'s Passing Out Parade and the Graduation Dinner. Yes! Dinner also must rehearse ok.. Ha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Left HTA almost 8pm! Headed for a quick dinner with my parents and relatives before my Uncle drove me down to Somerset to meet them. We had our gathering at this open-air place called Bali House. Quite a nice place, especially for smokers since you can smoke there.. hahhaa... Among those who turned up, think didn't see Selene and Dewei for the longest! more than a yr I guess.. and these 2 are the ones always squabbling.. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here're some of the pictures :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Mini%20Bday%20Celebration%202008/?action=view&amp;amp;current=IMG_0482.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Mini%20Bday%20Celebration%202008/IMG_0482.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Top L-R: Dewei, Dollyn, Lili, Jun, Wei An&lt;br /&gt;Seated L-R: Janny, Myself, Selene&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and oh ya.. the seated ones are the bday babies, though all on different dates but all on October.. ha.. and we are all wearing black.

All of us were worried as it rained from the day before ALL THE WAY till this BIG day!! The parade will be cancelled if the rain is too heavy. All of us were all worried as we don't want all our efforts to go down the drain! We want to perform for the crowd! God knows the countless times we had rehearsed for the parade! Luckily, the sky cleared up and it was all sunny by the time the parade was about to start :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

I'm back after a 3 week training stint in Nepal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of you must be thinking that.. "wa.. so shiok! can go Nepal!! Somemore all-paid trip!" ha.. but you guys never see the "dark" side of our training yet lehz and the conditions which we had to go through.. ha.. this 6-week leadership training program(3 weeks in Singapore and 3 weeks in Nepal)really tested our physical and mental resilience.. and I've gotten more tanned as most ppl said.. ha.. hard to imagine right.. for those who have known me for quite awhile should know that I hardly get tanned even under the sun.. ha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As most of you have a facebook account, I've uploaded most of the photos there.. here's the link to it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=52693&amp;amp;id=610425799"&gt;http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=52693&amp;amp;id=610425799&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those without facebook.. erm.. i will try to think of something.. ha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We climbed numerous steps, battled with battalions of resilient leeches and sweated like a dog! For me i tend to sweat more even more jialat haha.. still remember that on the very first day of the trek we encountered so many leeches! Luckily I'm skillful enough to fend them off.. ha.. but still kana 2 small bites cos I slipped a few times during the slippery trek and they managed to get onto my hand. No leech bites on my legs though :P and for those who think that wearing thick clothings or socks can fend them off right, save the trouble.. they bite through them! hahaha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caught a chill high up in the mountains when it's only like 8 degrees during the day? ha.. recovered a few days later but it was really tiring and i was panting profusely while climbing and trekking around the Annapurna Circuit. Phew~ I will tell you all more details when I have the chance to meet up with you guys!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arrived back at Singapore on 13th Sep Saturday night! Guess who's the first person to greet me?? Ha.. my niece!! came running towards me with a small box of mooncakes for me.. ha.. so nice, sweet and cute! Missed her so much.. and of cos my parents too. Thanks sis and chris for bringing Chloe to the airport! Missed HW alot while I was there too.. At first hoped to see her at the Airport but in the end told her not to come cos it will be quite awkward for her too.. met her later in the night after returning to Singapore :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I expected myself to be totally burnt out and to be sleeping and resting at home for the next few days which I am on off. Turns out I'm still ok! so unlike myself! ha.. maybe it's because i slept quite abit during the few days of R&amp;amp;R at Pokhara and Kathmandu.. dun really like kathmandu although it's the capital of Nepal. so messy, dusty and yeeeark!! For those who wish to visit Nepal I will advise u to avoid Kathmandu. Just stop by there for a transit to other areas where u can trek and enjoy the mountains and the wonderful scenery over there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;End up I went out the whole of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday! ha.. finally returned to Tracom on Wed morning and I'm blogging now in camp.. On Sunday, acc HW to buy her phone together with Kat. So qiao to know that Kat knows one of my friends who is a teacher too.. ha.. the world is so small and we are all connected in some way or another.. End up HW bought her phone through STshop and was very lucky to have got it at a cheaper price cos the phone's price at the online STshop shot up the next day! I find ST pricing for phones is very messy. The prices are different at a Road Show, the Singtel Shop and the online Singtelshop! So confusing for consumers. They should do sth abt it. ha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Managed to visit my ex colleagues at MOE. Good to see them doing well and glad that so many ppl still remember me! ha.. Oh ya.. and I went for a pre-Lasik evaluation on Monday morning. hmm.. ya.. i'm going to do lasik.. this pair of specs is proving too much of a hindrance to my job.. find it a total hindrance esp when i was in Nepal for training! Caught a 2 hr 40 min classic movie called "The Banishment". After the show I have alot of doubts and curiosity about the content in the show. Leaves us guessing how the events are interlinked to each other. Hopefully the Director can shed some light soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back at Tracom, back to training. Got chosen to be the Guard Of Honour Contingent Commander for our Passing Out Parade. Woo.. First time I'm doing this though I did alot of drill b4 last time in the Boys' Brigade. But nothing so prominent and high profile as this one! Hope I will train and do well! For my dear friends who wish to attend the parade, please inform me asap so that I can book a seat for u! ha.. come support me!! =P&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-2830227003883120447?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/2830227003883120447/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=2830227003883120447' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/2830227003883120447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/2830227003883120447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2008/09/hi-everyone-im-back-after-3-week.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-1257255292369401631</id><published>2008-08-25T09:38:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-08-25T09:40:47.874+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>To all readers and my dearest friends&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be flying off for my leadership training in Nepal tml!!

The 3-year-old was very sick and in a coma when her father, Khalid Ibrahim, carried her into Singapore last year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her doctors had said she would not make it, and even warned him against making the trip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Mr Khalid was determined to give his daughter, who had a metastatic Wilm's tumour – a type of kidney cancer seen sometimes in children – a chance, no matter how small. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When I called Singapore and asked for treatment, there was a glimmer of hope," he said of his first trip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fatma was put through surgery as well as chemotherapy – a bold decision that Dr Ang Peng Tiam suggested that her parents take. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The treatment proved successful, but the family had to walk through the darkest period before dawn. Fatma bled every day, as the tumour shrank, and her parents could only weep and watch as they saw her suffer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a very different Fatma, however, that walked into his room recently for her follow-up review. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chemotherapy and surgery had worked, and there was no evidence of cancer found in her PET-CT scan. "Baby Fatma is no longer a baby!" exclaims a delighted Dr Ang."She's a young girl." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first, the doctor found Fatma a little shy. "She was clinging on to her mum when she came into my consultation room," he recalls. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, he adds, the liveliness that Fatma had displayed even when she was very sick, soon came back. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"While I was talking to her parents about how she was doing back home, she warmed up and started exploring the room and raided my fridge. She reverted to her playful self with a cheeky grin. Chocolates and sweets remain her favourite." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fatma's miracle comes as a source of hope and joy for Dr Ang. Not only does it bring him much delight to see the girl doing so well, it also brings him hope that more children like her can be similarly healed of the dreaded disease. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Children are very resilient," he says. "Despite advanced cancer and her poor general condition when she arrived in Singapore, she tolerated the intensive chemotherapy remarkably well." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also credits Fatma's parents for their persistence in trying to find a way for their daughter, instead of giving up, despite what they were told. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Some parents – and doctors – may have considered ‘letting go' to allow nature to run its course. I am glad that we chose to give her a chance and go all out to try and beat the cancer," he adds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Truly, where there is life, there is hope!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-6175035516167655516?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/6175035516167655516/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=6175035516167655516' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/6175035516167655516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/6175035516167655516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2008/07/please-dont-give-up.html' title='Please don&apos;t give up!'/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-7280643044645018951</id><published>2008-07-12T12:53:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-07-12T12:54:21.335+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="325" height="244"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YwX4Y7DY_2g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YwX4Y7DY_2g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="325" height="244"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-7280643044645018951?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/7280643044645018951/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=7280643044645018951' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/7280643044645018951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/7280643044645018951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2008/07/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-2621039484299363571</id><published>2008-07-07T19:40:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-07-07T19:46:01.168+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Recently hooked on to these 2 songs by jay chou though both are old songs..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Feng&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Ge Qian&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in my mind I thought it will be a damn fantastic melody if these 2 songs are combined! Coincidentally I managed to find someone who shares the same sentiments as me! He is way ahead of me and has already found ways to combine the 2 songs. The piano scores are also available.. not easy to play though.. will need lotsa time to practise.. can't really practise much nowadays as I'm stuck in camp most of the time.. and my weekends are usually spent outside.. rarely have the personal time to meddle with my beloved piano.

Watched "Wanted" on Fri with Lili. A simple plot for the show but the effects are quite nice and exaggerating.. haha.. at some parts of the show we thought that the director didn't film the movie that well cos all was blur and couldn't see what was actually happening.. hmm.. but it got better and rating? perhaps a 3.5/5 for me. For guys you can just go there and see Angelina Jolie.. The parts i liked were those pursuit scenes where they raced in their sports cars!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to buy my trekking boots for my Nepal trip. And they really cost a bomb! If not for the discount that was offered to us i think i would have gone broke liao. Bought insoles and socks too. spent a total of $280 i think.. =\&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Met Lili, Ruru and Jun for mahjong since they mentioned they giaN? ha.. played halfway and I happened to ask if they watched Sex and the City. Just nice all of us did not watch.. so we booked the tickets last min and headed to watch it at PS at 11.05pm.. ha.. so tired after catching 2 late nite shows in a row.. old liao.. ha..&lt;br /&gt;It is more of a show for ladies.. funny and yet meaningful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been doing quite alot of thinking lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1stly, have been mugging for the past 2 weeks for my Gen Law paper which just ended 27th June. It's like going back to my Uni life but with more stress! ha.. I think it's because this is now my career, my dream career. I just wanted to do well to the best of my abilities. On top of all the studying in my course, we still have to do so many other stuffs that often distracts us. To think that I spent the whole weekend studying at home, it sounds so not like me. Cleared my 2 "modules" before GL too. 3 or 4 more "modules" to go.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I scored rather well for my PC Essay(1 mark away from the highest) and my GL MCQ(1Qn away from the highest), I really felt nothing at the end. After GL MCQ my mentality was "pass can liao". I just felt relieved and nothing else after knowing the results. I duno if it's the ppl ard me which killed this mood? Or that now I'm less easily satisfied? Or is it the _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that killed the mood off this course? You will see all sorts of ppl ard and you will wonder why they existed and how they survived with all those attitudes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seen so many of these ppl ard me, and some of them really dampens your mood just by looking at them. come on la, we chose this career. If you don't wish to put in any effort in the first place, why did you op for this extraordinary career? and hello, it took me 2 tries b4 I finally got this job. All in all, I spent almost 12 mths going thru all the interviews, tests.. blah blah.. and bloody hell this is the attitude u give? If you are here to bring the rest of the ppl down pls get the f out of here la. So to all of you who may be the superiors in future, when interviewing ppl, please don't judge a person just from that interview alone. It is very unfair for those who are utmost sincere in their interviews compared to those who get thru with false pretense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes wonder what's the thing lacking in me now. Doesn't feel complete.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-5520422265628797314?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/5520422265628797314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=5520422265628797314' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/5520422265628797314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/5520422265628797314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2008/06/phew-when-was-last-time-i-actually.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-4065477585049483796</id><published>2008-05-31T23:41:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-05-31T23:45:33.032+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'&lt;br /&gt;The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'.

Most feared that he would die trying. But this humble old man proved all the critics wrong.Cliff Young, at 61 years of age, participated in 1983’s Sydney to Melbourne race. Considered to be the world’s toughest race, with the distance of 875 (543.7 m) kilometers and took at least 5 days to finish, Cliff Young entered the race against world-class athletes. Read how he achieved the unthinkable and inspires the whole nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Beginning&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every year, Australia hosts an 875-kilometer endurance racing from Sydney to Melbourne - considered to be the world’s longest and toughest ultra-marathon. It’s a long, tough race that takes five days and normally participated by world-class athletes who train specially for the event. Backed by big names in sports like Nike, these athletes are mostly less than 30 years old men and women equipped with the most expensive sponsored training outfits and shoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1983, these top class runners were in for a surprise. On the day of the race, a guy named Cliff Young showed up. At first, no one cared about him since everybody thought he was there to watch the event. After all, he was 61 years old, showed up in overalls and galoshes over his work boots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Cliff walked up to the table to take his number, it became obvious to everybody he was going to run. He was going to join a group of 150 world-class athletes and run! During that time, these runners don’t even know another surprising fact - his only trainer was his 81-year-old mother, Neville Wran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everybody thought that it was a crazy publicity stunt. But the press was curious, so as he took his number 64 and moved into the pack of runners in their special, expensive racing outfit, the camera focused on him and reporters started to ask:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Who are you and what are you doing?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m Cliff Young. I’m from a large ranch where we run sheep outside of Melbourne.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They said, “You’re really going to run in this race?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah,” Cliff nodded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Got any backers?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Then you can’t run.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah I can.” Cliff said. “See, I grew up on a farm where we couldn’t afford horses or four wheel drives, and the whole time I was growing up– until about four years ago when we finally made some money and got a four wheeler– whenever the storms would roll in, I’d have to go out and round up the sheep. We had 2,000 head, and we have 2,000 acres. Sometimes I would have to run those sheep for two or three days. It took a long time, but I’d catch them. I believe I canyoung.jpg run this race; it’s only two more days. Five days. I’ve run sheep for three.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the marathon started, the pros left Cliff behind in his galoshes. The crowds smiled because he didn’t even run correctly. Instead of running, he appeared to run leisurely, shuffling like an amateur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the 61-year-old potato farmer from Beech Forest with no teeth had started the ultra-tough race with world-class athletes. All over Australia, people who watched the live telecast kept on praying that someone would stop this crazy old man from running because everyone believed he’ll die even before even getting halfway across Sydney.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turtle vs rabbits&lt;br /&gt;cliff young australia Every professional athlete knew for certain that it took about 5 days to finish this race, and that in order to compete, you would need to run 18 hours and sleep 6 hours. The thing is, old Cliff Young did not know that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the morning news of the race was aired, people were in for another big surprise. Cliff was still in the race and had jogged all night down to a city called Mittagong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, Cliff did not stop after the first day. Although he was still far behind the world-class athletes, he kept on running. He even had the time to wave to spectators who watched the event by the highways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he got to a town called Albury he was asked about his tactics for the rest of the race. He said he would run through to the finish, and he did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He kept running. Every night he got just a little bit closer to the leading pack. By the last night, he passed all of the world-class athletes. By the last day, he was way in front of them. Not only did he run the Melbourne to Sydney race at age 61, without dying; he won first place, breaking the race record by 9 hours and became a national hero! The nation fell in love with the 61-year-old potato farmer who came out of nowhere to defeat the world’s best long distance runners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He finished the 875-kilometre race in 5 days, 15 hours and 4 minutes. Not knowing that he was supposed to sleep during the race, he said when running throughout the race, he imagined that he was chasing sheep and trying to outrun a storm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Cliff was awarded the first prize of $10,000, he said he did not know there was a prize and insisted that he had not entered for the money. He said, “There’re five other runners still out there doing it tougher than me,” and he gave them $2,000 each. He did not keep a single cent for himself. That act endeared him to all of Australia. Cliff was a humble, average man, who undertook an extraordinary feat and became a national sensation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Inspirational Run Continues&lt;br /&gt;In the following year, Cliff Young entered the same race and won the 7 th place. During the race, his hip popped out of the joint socket, his knee played up and he endured shin splints. But those didn’t deter him from finishing the race. When he was announced as the winner for most courageous runner and presented with a Mitsubishi Colt, he said, “I didn’t do it near as tough as old Bob McIlwaine. Here, Bob, you have the car,” and gave the keys to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was said that Cliff Young never kept a single prize. People gave him watches, because he never had one. He would thank them because he did not want to hurt their feelings, but will then give it away to the first child he saw. He did not understand why he would need a watch because, he said, he knew when it was daylight, when it was dark, and when he was hungry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cliff came to prominence again in 1997, aged 76, when he attempted to become the oldest man to run around Australia and raise money for homeless children. He managed to completed 6,520km of the 16,000km run before he had to pull out after his only permanent crew member became ill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His love for running never diminished but in year 2000, after collapsing in his Gellibrand home a week after completing 921 kilometers of a 1600-kilometre race, his lose his strength for running. The mild stroke ended his heroic running days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the long illness, Cliff Young, the running legend passed away on 2 nd November 2003. He was 81.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current Race&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The “Young-shuffle” has been adopted by ultra-marathon runners because it is considered more aerodynamic and expends less energy. At least 3 winners of the Sydney to Melbourne race have been known to use the ‘Young-shuffle’� to win the race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, for Sydney to Melbourne race, almost nobody sleeps. To win that race, you have to run like Cliff Young did, you have to run all night as well as all day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-330038040902550522?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/330038040902550522/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=330038040902550522' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/330038040902550522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/330038040902550522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2008/02/hope-this-story-may-inspire-some-of-you.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-854395227014562687</id><published>2007-12-02T01:47:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-12-02T01:57:46.325+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>happened to read shi's blog.. so i'm doing this now... wahahahahz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following.

So long without a word in my blog! LOL. Decided to do a short blogging since it's a Sunday today.. phew~ rest day =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe start from the last gathering which I can rmbr.. LOL. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm.. met Dollyn and Jun at Vivo City that day.. can't particularly remember which day it was but it was a Tuesday.. Eil was supposed to come but backed out last min.. as usual :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Headed down to Vivo where Jun works.. It's only like 10 mins bus ride from my workplace? Met Dollyn first as the busy bumblebee(reminds you of TRANSFORMERS? :P) Jun had to work late.. so while waiting.. we went to grab a little pressie for Jun since her bday was approaching.. got her some nice snacks from the Spanish Area in Vivo hahaha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After getting the pressie? nothing to do liao.. we walked around.. around.. and around.. hmmm.. after that Dollyn decided to queue for donuts! so while she queued for Donuts I went to queue for the Hong Kong Restaurant which had a long queue.. so Jun.. know how gd we are huh.. hahaha.. After that had we had dinner, donuts and went hm.. For pictures can refer to Jun's blog :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just had a mini family gathering with some of my relatives last weekend.. hmmm.. we went to a Chinese Restaurant which is quite ulu.. opposite SAFTI MI.. but the food there is not bad.. Imagine having ur lunch from 12 noon to almost 3pm -.-" quite alot of food eh? but the amount of food was not the only reason for it to last 3 hrs.. The pace at which they served the food was veyr slow too, compared to other restaurants. Pros and cons abt it.. The older generation seems like they prefer it so that you won't get too bloated/full too fast.. there's time to digest and walk ard to chit chat abit before the next dish gets served.. But if you are already very hungry pls dun go there ok. hahahaa.. or else u will keep thinking abt when's the next dish going to be served and get very pek cek &gt;.&lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very fast.. I've been working for 9 mths plus.. coming 10 months.. time to think abt my career again.. I plan to clock at least 1 yr at my current company before moving on.. Some feelings about my job? How much have I learnt actually? I did learn quite alot from my fellow colleagues, but in my opinion, it's considered little compared to  my friends who are working in development projects. The amount of coding and development I did is PEANUTS compared to them. Therefore thinking about whether to move on to a company where i can get involved in development projects to learn more stuffs while I'm still young. I do not wish to go into a very siong job when I'm already in my late 30s?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Environment wise, I like my colleagues. I have alot of friends, even university friends who are working together with me on the same premises. Read from Xianster's blog that she went for an interview at my workplace too. Hmm.. If she gets it, which i seriously hope she does, we will be working at the same compounds right? After getting used to the 2 systems which I maintain and provide Ops and Support, the amount of stress I feel is not as high as compared to the time which I just joined the team. And I know know that I have reliable team mates to count on whenever our systems encounter problems. Basically these are the factors which I'm thinking through.. The current market for IT developers is quite gd actually.. alot of companies looking for developers.. Salary wise, fresh grads are getting even higher than us! and some of my friends managed to find new jobs with gd salaries.. gd for them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am also thinking of whether to continue to try and pursue my dream career.. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-343378887557527614?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/343378887557527614/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=343378887557527614' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/343378887557527614'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/343378887557527614'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2007/07/dang-so-long-without-word-in-my-blog.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-6722216555522219198</id><published>2007-05-06T21:16:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-05-06T21:56:12.845+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Hiiiiiii.. back to my blog ~ *wink*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last post was abt my Bintan trip.. nothing much happened after that..

Next up, gonna catch Transformers and Bart Simpsons the Movie? heh.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a night when I took part in Night cycling.. phew.. 1st time in my life did I cycle for sooooOooo long!! 6 hrs? ard there.. butt definitely gone after the 60km cycle to Labrador Park and back to East Coast.

I'M BACK TO BLOG AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH OF ABSENCE!! xD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okayy.. think everyone has got bored of my blog already.. since it is so unhappening.. :P Basically.. I'm here to blog abt my Bintan trip.. hehehx.. okayy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First day........................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shuckss.. waking up at 6 in the morning is dreadful.. haven't woke up so early since duno when.. i usually wake up ard 7 plus or 6.30 if my dad is not driving my mum and me to work. Luckily Jun's dad is driving us to Tanah Merah interchange.. or else I have to wake up even earlier!! Our ferry departure time is 0905 if i rmbr correctly.. hmmm.. Went to pick up Li Li at Jurong West b4 we head towards Tanah Merah.. Jun's bro was going to Ubin.. so just nice 5 ppl in the car.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a fast 1 hr ferry ride to Bintan. Woot! Bintan time is 1 hr slower than Sg. Everything seems so slow over there.. or is Singapore too fast paced ? =\&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We couldn't check in since we reached too early.. so we walked ard Nirwana Gardens.. nice resort! and the beach looks much much cleaner than Sg's! zzZz.. Then after some recommendations by a guy named Nova, we headed for Pasar Oleh Oleh. The transport is free as long as u spend more than $36 at their designated restaurant.. nothing much.. all of us ate fried rice.. just different varieties of fried rice.. oh ya.. and 7+1 cans of Coca Cola hahaha.. Nothing much over there.. Li Li's disease started to spread from there onwards.. tsk tsk.. so much for PROVI-SHAWN[Provision shop] :P&lt;br /&gt;but i tell u.. it's damn freaking warm and hot over there!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally.. we headed back to our resort after lunch.. and managed to book in at ard 2pm. ta da!! this is our villa! very shiok! got 3 big bedrooms.. me and ann zai snatched the master bedroom, the one with a bath tub and the biggest toilet =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Bintan%20Trip/Image053.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Bintan%20Trip/Image026.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice hor? But we only stayed for 1 nite and its already so ex.. can't imagine if we stayed for 1 week.. the funny thing is we pack this trip as if all of us were going to stay there for 1 week hehez..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, yea!! we went to enjoy our sea sports.. None of us brought a camera since we were going to play watersports.. it was low tide when we went.. and the sight of the sea was so ugly. 180 deg difference from the beach we saw early in the morn!! most of us thought they were undergoing land reclamation man ~ It was fun kayaking.. and getting sunburnt in the process.. haa... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after that, we nua-ed in the swimming pool.. playing some pool games and relaxing in the jacuzzi.. whew~ so relaxing.. totally away from the singapore lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that.. did a mission.. bought LiLi's bday cake and smuggled it into the villa.. and we headed for our 1st dinner at Bintan after shower..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Bintan%20Trip/47b7dd00b3127cce98548918e20b0000001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;while waiting for the shuttle bus to Kelong Restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a 10 course dinner over there! SGD 50 each!! but it was worth it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Bintan%20Trip/8000scd.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our sumptuous 10 course dinner ~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Bintan%20Trip/8467scd.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;caught staring blur-ly at the pub located at the Kelong Restaurant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then along the path to the Pub, we managed to see lotsa stars in the clear sky~ Think you can't see it in Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Bintan%20Trip/2a4escd.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pointing towards the starsssssssssssssssss&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Bintan%20Trip/6b9escd.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b4 we headed back to villa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yea.. talking of coincidence, saw Roy there!! wahahhaha.. we dun even meet each other in Singapore..  we met at Bintan instead.. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Bintan%20Trip/75cbscd.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ME, ROY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Played card games.. and we finished up all our beer thru forfeiting during the card games.. most of us concussed abt 3am in the morn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next day, we had a buffet breakfast.. lazy to post pics.. see Jun's blog for more details.. lol. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Bintan%20Trip/3f6ascd.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice morning beach at Bintan, with the zhao1 pai2 tree in the picture&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/gimloong/Bintan%20Trip/1b86scd.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me and the cooling sea ~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that.. while waiting for our turns for the All Terrain Vehicle [ATV].. ya ya..

It's becoming like a 1 post a month thingy for me liao.. hehee..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;V-day, CNY are just around the corner.. everybody is very bz with their own stuffs.. preparing for CNY can be a chore u know.. think i must clear up my room real soon! i keep procrastinating :P CNY approaching.. but can't feel the mood. Think this had been the case for the past few years. nvm abt that.. as long as can gather with frenz can liao..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work for me have been quite ok.. but gonna get bz real soon. Boss put me in a development project. It means that other than my normal job routines, I have to fork out time to do this development project. Even though he told me not to put too much effort into the proj as I still have to handle my systems and daily job routines, the job still has to be done right? Think will be very bz till beginning of April. I will help out with the development project till end of March b4 I need to totally concentrate on another yearly job for my 2 systems. It will be very time consuming. Yes LW, I heard u. That's y I'm updating now.. seems like u will take over ____ from March. Sensitive stuffs yea :P fill in the blank!! So how, glad I recommended you this job? Still happy with the current work? Thanks for the lunch once again! :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Jerries' CNY gathering, may I know whose house will be available for us? and if jerries are free on Chu 3? If everybody is free then let's go ahead with the gathering.. no venue? let's go to the place which xian-ster suggested.. Alright with everyone? Though I may still prefer to go someone's house to nua and eat and chit chat.. feels more cosy.. :) oh ya.. and for those jerries who are reading my entry,   Sasa will be away on holidays in JB during CNY period.. so can't join us for any gatherings.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently weather had been cold cold.. esp those strong gusts of wind that blows right thru my house.. brrrr... Mummy and Daddy have not been in the best state of health recently.. down with flu and giddy spells. Most prob is because of the flu virus during the 'winter' season in Singapore(Dec - Jan). Even I had my own share of the flu bug and giddiness.. I finally understood how my parents felt when they said that the 4 walls are spinning when lying down on the bed!! It really doesn't feel good. I had to take MC from work and stay at hm and rest. Hopefully in this coming new year, all my family members, loved ones, my dear frenz and those ard me will stay healthy and cheerful!! Please take good care of urselves. I think lack of exercise is also why i'm falling sick recently. Did not jog, or do static exercises during the rainy season. The wet season may be and excuse.. but I still have to find some ways to exercise. Must start soon once I recover fully!! Flu bugs pls go away!! giddiness spells go away too!!! stay away from us!!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another close colleague of mine left. Sad Sad. She had been a very nice lady even though I dun liase with her often. She's perhaps the most patient lady in the FM room. Regardless of her decision, I still wish her all the best in her career. She will still be in Mindef.. so will still see each other! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;okie.. blog till here.. off to watch my soccer match.. jya ~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-8090940093223525489?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/8090940093223525489/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=8090940093223525489' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/8090940093223525489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/8090940093223525489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2007/02/hi-everyone-okok.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-9018943909364361754</id><published>2007-01-12T00:17:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-12T00:34:40.795+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Hi everyone! wahhahz.. it's been more than a month since i last wrote something here.. think my readers(if there're any) are real disappointed :P it's been a month of celebrations and partying due to the festive season, not forgetting that it's already 2007! hope this new yr will be a nice n smooth year for all the ppl around me, including myself :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think i've alot of frenz whose bdays are in Dec.. pls dun blame me if i missed out urs... heheex.. celebrated Daren's, Louis's and Aaron's bdays in Dec.

Minasan wa ogenki desuka?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yup.. today is Friday.. I'm clearing the 1-day off which I had accumulated during deepavali. So here I am.. at hm.. feeling the effect of the flu bug.. just nice took this off so that I can take a nice rest at hm. It's still raining outside.. Got sick on Tues.. so had to cancel the runs which was supposedly fixed on Tues and Thurs.. gomen ne Z-san, Jun-san and Daren-san. Hope to rest well over these few days and recover b4 I start work on Monday.. work's gonna pile up soon.. esp for the next 2 weeks at least.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok~ I don't think I should be talking about work on my off day.. But I must say that the turnover rate at my current workplace is very high.. Reasons? I think can come out with many even though I've only worked there for about a month or so.. The latest personnel who is leaving this job and moving on is Brother Ling.. Wish you all the best in ur future endeavours!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At workplaces, we can see the true personality of the people we are working with. Names shall not be mentioned here.. as disgusted as I am with some ppl, I must admit that there're no perfect working environment in the current society we are in. 1 person which I'm describing, had totally turned me off though the incident did not affect me at all. When you need Brother Ling to continue staying here to help you with the work, I don't think that you should be coming out with those absurd reasons like Contract Offer is much stable than Permanent Job Offer. What the hell? If you feel that Contract is more stable, y don't you urself volunteer to convert from a Permanent staff to a Contract staff? This is total crap. When you need ppl, then u start to treat them differently. When you dun, you dun even take a glance at them when they walk pass u. Bragging abt your 1st class honours, I wondered where you took them. If it was from NUS, I would have saluted you if you had achieved that. Come into NUS School of Computing and you will know how hard is it to actually achieve 1st Class. And the following saying is true.. and I really believe in it : "You may have excellent results, but you may not be able to work well in society". Think some places who focus on gd results when hiring ppl should think twice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking on the brighter side, there're still many great colleagues around me.. Brother Kelvin, SY, Charmiane, Richard, Winnie and a few others, it's great that they are still around. Though no humans may be perfect, they are probably the nicest ones around. Heard from Wendy that there's a "yayapapya" new HRE in RU. Ha.. my sisters.. dun bother abt her man.. she will find out that something is wrong when nobody wanna talk to her anymore =) take gd care of urselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just finished watching the japanese drama series: 1 Litre of tears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I took damn long to finish watching this drama cos when I started there's not much time liao.. However, this show certainly made me understand alot of things.. and how fortunate we r to be still living and kicking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This drama is a real life story.. about a young girl, Ikeuchi Aya, starred by Sawajiri Erika, who got this disease know as Spinocerebellar Disease when she was only 15. Medical technology may be high now.. but some diseases such as SCD is still incurable up to date. This disease slows down the cells development in humans.. and even destroying it. Imagining a 15 yr old gal, who suddenly know that she had gotten this disease.. how would she feel? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This disease progresses gradually but slowly. In Aya chan's case, it developed very fast. As time moves on, problems pile up. With time, Aya chan can't speak or eat properly.. choking on food most of the times. She couldn't walk n write properly, falls down without any warning. Sometimes injuring herself very badly. Her movements are being restricted. Apart from this, imagine the problems she faced in school. Those heartless glances by other ppl, the pain she felt when she knew that she was becoming a burden to her family and friends, losing her frenz and her bf, and alot more. I think I may not be able to bring out the true feelings the drama portrayed out with my blogging. It will be better if you watch the drama...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite her disease, she continued to write her diary daily.. writing out her own feelings everyday. She continued to write till one day, she couldn't hold the pen/marker anymore. She even volunteered to donate her body as research material. You can't really imagine the thoughts that are going through her brain during those times..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After 10 years of struggle and fighting with the disease, she died peacefully on her bed, nvr even giving up once during the 10 years of struggle. She got what she needed most during those times, the support of the whole family, the few true friends she had around with her, and some other ppl like the doctors and teachers around her. Her diaries were being published and it gave others who were down with the same disease alot of encouragement.. even those who were not ill received encouragement from her phrases and words.. Learnt quite a great deal from this drama.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;woo.. seldom do I write this much in my blog.. but since I hardly have much stuffs to say here.. but I felt that I should write this down once i finished watching the drama cos it's still fresh in my mind. Cherish the good and healthy body which you have.. dun destroy it through smoking or alcoholism.. some ppl don't even have the chance to have it. For Aya, her normal life ended when she was only 15 years old. She died at 25. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jya.. enough of that. those who wanna watch can borrow from me.. now going to rest liao.. feeling the effect of the medicine.. take care everyone!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-116314219155777586?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/116314219155777586/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=116314219155777586' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/116314219155777586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/116314219155777586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2006/11/konichiwa-minasan-wa-ogenki-desuka-yup.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-116248296677075618</id><published>2006-11-02T23:38:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-02T23:56:06.863+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>hi all! back to post something here.. seeing how my colleague is so committed to his blog it inspired me to blog at least a little also la.. hahaha...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;time flies! it has been a month since i started work at CMPB. dun be mistaken..

Think the SPF dun need Computer Science graduates like us ba. But dong jia bu da da xi jia.. I'm sure I will excel in other places though SPF is still my 1st choice in my career priorities. Since government sector usually outsource their IT projects to other companies like NCS and SCS, I guess I'm not really needed inside there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I'm grateful to the lady called Shirley from ---- agency who helped me get my job in NCS. Yea.. I'm going to be an Application Consultant in the National Computer Systems. Sounds very pro right? But i'm grateful to them for offering me a permanent job even though i had no exp. Thanks to Richard too.. the person who interviewed me in the 1st round.. and guess he put in alot of good words for me to the Director also.. Starting work on Monday, a new chapter in my life starts! Excitement, challenges, stress and alot of other factors will come in but I'm looking forward to tackling them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems like my 3rd Aunt's mooncake culinary skills are damn gd. Colleagues from MOE keep on want to order from her.. must charge them for the transport fees for delivering to them liao..

He is not the gentle, cool&lt;br /&gt;, calm and charming guy like what you see. He has another dark side of&lt;br /&gt;aggression, stubborn and he likes to start an argument the most. Sometimes&lt;br /&gt;he can be so depress and unstable. Up and down like he is trying to balance&lt;br /&gt;himself most of the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[wah.. sounds like i'm some weirdo who's going to go crazy anytime.. if i'm lidat i dun think i can get thru any interviews!! wats more.. i dun like to start arguments lehz.. ]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To many people, he is a friendly guy and always smile even when he is mad or&lt;br /&gt;up set. His voice always gentle and calm. he always set and comb his hair as&lt;br /&gt;if he comes out from a shampoo advertisement. Mostly Libra men are good&lt;br /&gt;looking, even the ugly one is charming. When he smiles, it is so bright that&lt;br /&gt;the whole world is smiling with him too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[some parts true.. i like to smile.. can ask my frenz when i'm around with them.. even though sometimes taking pics i dun smile at all.. LOL.. but this paragraph since to contradict the first para.. -.- and.. i think i belong to the ugly bunch of libra men.. LoL]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he is in a balance mood, he is the type of person you want to be with.&lt;br /&gt;In other unbalancing mood, he likes to make people argue about something and&lt;br /&gt;watching it with fascination and fun. He will wait to be the one who&lt;br /&gt;compromise and clear thing up. He likes to be in a conflicting conversation.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[seems like a saddist and troublemaker to me.. this para dun fit me.. am i the one whom my frenz like to be with? ]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Libra man is lazy by nature. After his tired day at work, he likes to sit&lt;br /&gt;still and just look out of the window or read quietly. He likes to be in his&lt;br /&gt;own world. After recharging his battery, he will be very energetic again and&lt;br /&gt;may even take you out that night.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[with recharged battery.. i think i will do watever i can~!]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Libra man normally will not do any shocking or abnormal things to be&lt;br /&gt;noticed. He likes to be conformed with his crowd, but if you watch him&lt;br /&gt;carefully, you will see the different. If he wear a shirt, it will have to&lt;br /&gt;be a zipper front instead of buttons, or a special tie bar. There is always&lt;br /&gt;something in him that he will not allow totally conformity to take him over.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[meaning that i'm not an attention seeker? ]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A straight forward , no non-sense guy. He is careful and delicate in&lt;br /&gt;details. He will spent extra time to doing it right, than comes back to&lt;br /&gt;correct them later. He hates people who boost, or exaggerate. He does not&lt;br /&gt;like over dressed woman or make herself a center of an attention.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[oh yea.. put too much make up.. or over dressed.. i dun like.. ]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He loves to read. He loves poems and loves art. When he works he can work&lt;br /&gt;like crazy, but after work he can turn on romantic jazzy music and treat you&lt;br /&gt;so gently. He loves to give people advice and normally give a good advice.&lt;br /&gt;If you fall for him, you will stay like being trapped in a spider web. If&lt;br /&gt;you want to break up with him, he will persuade you a zillion ways to stay&lt;br /&gt;and you can not stop him anyway. After he persuade you to stay, or after a&lt;br /&gt;big fight, he will be so sweet to you as if he has never hurt your feeling&lt;br /&gt;before ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[ i'm not that classy though i do listen to classical music and some piano pieces.. and.. some parts of this para may not describe me also... ]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He will has his own way to win a girl love and affection. Once she says yes,&lt;br /&gt;he will lay back and wonder if he should go on or if he should back out. In&lt;br /&gt;his teen, he changed many girl friends because he can not clearly separate&lt;br /&gt;loving a friend and loving a girl friend. He will check and re-check if his&lt;br /&gt;match is suitable and compatible with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[someone teach me how to re-check ? ]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Even he is a romantic man, he can hardly understand the emotion of the one&lt;br /&gt;he loves. He is a generous guy even he sets his life so systematically. He&lt;br /&gt;never knows when he makes you unhappy. He never knows how he up set you. He&lt;br /&gt;will never knows what he said wrong. If he is your lover, be prepare for&lt;br /&gt;this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[-.-"]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A not so pretty girl with no brain is not his type of woman. If you are not&lt;br /&gt;pretty enough, he will not mind talking to you but he does not care to get&lt;br /&gt;to know you. Any girls, pretty or ugly can ask for his help, he will be&lt;br /&gt;happy to help. He hates to argue by yelling at each other, so you tend to&lt;br /&gt;see he argue with his girl friend seriously but try at best to be very&lt;br /&gt;quiet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[i dun like to yell.. except in army when we r forced to yell.. haha.. and.. whoever will like a brainless girl? crapz.. and i dun judge a girl by looks.. most impt is character.. ]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He likes to have a girl friend by getting to know each other like a friend&lt;br /&gt;first. If you want him, you have to like the same thing he does. He prefers&lt;br /&gt;a pretty and gentle woman than a smart and ugly woman. You have to&lt;br /&gt;understand his mood especially he can has many different moods. He is a&lt;br /&gt;private person, so when he needs to be alone better let him be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;[every guy will wish to have a pretty and gentle woman as his wife/gf.. and though sometimes i prefer to be alone, most of the times i would rather i have a gf beside me or if she's not around.. i will hope to have the company of my family and frenz]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div

infact.. there r 2 different ways which u can look at it though.. on the positive side.. yea.. just enjoy while finding a job of ur liking.. on the other hand.. sometimes i do feel quite useless also.. maybe its the most down and most challenging part of my life.. who knows.. it gets more and more stressed as u see ur frenz finding a permanent job while you r still wandering around.. jobless.. penniless.. all thatz.. and some stuffs are not turning out to be wat u expected.. and other stuffs like getting rejected in interviews.. they are damn demoralising..  think some of u may share the same feelings.. or maybe not...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hopefully will get thru all the various rounds of interviews and other stuffs for the SPF.. it will take some time though.. going to

It's been some time since I last blogged.. almost 2 weeks.. and the previous post was only a few words.. haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been terribly bz these 2 weeks, dun even have time for myself. hM.. let's see.. the mid terms tests were all coming at 1 shot.. for example, the previous week, I had a boring presentation on Monday from 5-6pm.. and the next day there was a Jap vocab quiz + a CS2104 mid term test, which wasn't ez!! imagine how tired I am after ending school at 6pm, squeezing the bus with soOoo many ppl.. and after reaching hm still have to try and stay awake and mug b4 i could head to bed. 3am was the earliest I could go to bed for the past 2 weeks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, CS3240 mid term. write until my hand also suan. too long nvr take essay type of exams le.. as usual, the nite b4 was mugging too.. last min mugging to be exact.. and the exam is closed book, so have to make a little effort to memorise some stuffs. However, I find that I still forget some of the stuffs the next day.. haha.. how ah? jialatz.. then on thurs got jap lessons, Fri got lab.. after which i went to the career fair in NUS and stayed back to do my project until late in the evening b4 heading for dinner with family and relatives becoz it was my mum's bday.. Ssaturday, back in school to do proj.. till abt 7 plus in the evening.. me, yang and lx went to fong seng for dinner.. soon after tat Andy and kC came to drive me out.. haha.. thanks dudes!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking about career, after going to the career fair, choices kinda narrowed down.. some companies are only looking for engineers/smart ppl.. so can forget abt them.. shall go for the CSIT talk some day. another option, which i told some of my frenz.. is i might just go sign on in the police force.. provided i can get past the interview.. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this week was even busier, due to the fact that I'm part of the organising committee for the NUS Southeast Asia Night. oh ya, I haven mentioned that for the past few weeks, even though i ended lessons early, i had to stay till 6pm for the committee meetings.. cos some ppl are only free during that time due to lessons.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday and tues was ok.. but i expected tat I will not have the time to study for my Jap mid term and quizzes on Thurs, and my FNA mid term on Saturday. So i tried to study earlier la.. Jap midterm.. okok la.. but the FNA mid term.. though only MCQs.. was quite tough.. and the weather isn't helping me tat much.. after not enough rest due to the previous night, which was the SEA Night, phew.. it was scorching hot.. but the LT was freezing.. -.- thats how ppl fall sick eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEA Night is finally over.. cheers to the committee members, performers, helpers and &lt;br /&gt;all the ppl who contributed! It was a total success~ the LT which it was held in was flooded. It could take in 300 ppl.. but whilst I was doing my rounds running abt everywhere, I noticed that alot of ppl were standing behind the LT due to not enough seats available.. Overall it was a great performance. Nice working with Indah too, hahah.. being the programme organiser isn't tat ez huh.. even with 2 ppl.. Great time working with Tiffany(Backstage Manager) and the 2 runners(Peijun and her fren.. paiseh.. forget the other gal's name le.. too many ppl!!) at the backstage during the actual performance itself.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok la.. blog till here.. still got tonnnes of school work to do.. ja~ mata~ (See you)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-114214670387084099?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/114214670387084099/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=114214670387084099' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/114214670387084099'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/114214670387084099'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2006/03/wow.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-114113579514557860</id><published>2006-02-28T22:09:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-02-28T22:09:55.156+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>choking on mid terms.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-114113579514557860?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/114113579514557860/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=114113579514557860' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/114113579514557860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/114113579514557860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2006/02/choking-on-mid-terms.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-114055491389716041</id><published>2006-02-22T04:42:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-02-22T04:48:34.013+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Blogging at 4.45 am in the morning.. kekex.. u all must be thinking that I'm siao de.. so late le dun wan sleep..

Whats more.. a demoralising first lecture for CS3240.. where the lecturer said that all the past exams have been too easy.. told us to get prepared for a toughest among the toughest papers for this module.. all of us went --&gt; -.-|||&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been spending alot lately.. on books.. computer stuffs and games of cos.. I have to control my spending for WMMT2.. not going to go full time into it anyway.. The Jap books.. 1 set already $64.50, including the course pack.. -.- Lucky I have some friends to share the CD with.. so we shared money for the CD.. and Melissa seems to have a Jap dictionary.. shall borrow from her if i need it.. if not.. if i were to purchase everything on my own.. it would have amounted to a staggering $120+ for just 1 module.. Borrowed FNA textbook from Weixiong.. hehex.. Thanks ar!! told u MOS was gd ~ =D Haven't got my 3240,2250 and 2104 txt yet.. lol.. all CS modules.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to SLS on Wednesday after school.. got my DVD writer and a floppy drive for my mum.. whhaahaz.. thanks Jackson for the gd price~ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spend alot liao right? I still haven't got my new specs and CNY clothes yet.. going to buy them some of these days.. but i guess my specs can wait till after CNY.. hehex.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;chatted with shi dear last nite.. and presenting to you her big project.. tada!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4114/1580/1600/bigprok.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4114/1580/320/bigprok.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when she told me she was doing some big project.. i thought was what sia.. lol.. it was a combination of all the avatars i sent her -.- seems like she's in a dilemma over some personal stuffs.. but i told u my opinions liao.. hope it helps.. and.. we should try to meet during CNY ar.. u come back from Australia till now haven't got the chance to see you yet.. hehex.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;chatted with kC too.. apparently 1 of our friends seemed to have gone from bad to worse in terms of attitude.. some of us already cannot stand it liaos.. so my policy is.. if i cannot stand the person.. i shall stay away from him.. I think one should cherish and treat all of his/her frenz equally.. instead of trying to suck up to another person and looking down on some others.. u dun keep going around picking on someone ALL the time.. even though its not me who kana.. Y show attitude to ur friends? think u r some bloody big shot or a boss? sometimes your friends tahan you.. but everyone has a limit.. so fucking wake up ur idea man.. I think you would probably suffer the most when u go into NS with this type of attitude.. let NS deal with u kid.. yes.. KID.. after u ORD then consider u as a MAN..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-113715133571025826?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/113715133571025826/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=113715133571025826' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/113715133571025826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/113715133571025826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2006/01/se-no-school-has-reopened-for-new.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-113681801125345573</id><published>2006-01-09T22:43:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-01-09T22:46:54.746+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Got this thru Shi's blog.. so just post here for fun.. =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paulsadowski.com/birthday.asp"&gt;Birthday Calculator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You entered: 10/14/1982&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your date of conception was on or about 21 January 1982 which was a Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You were born on a Thursday&lt;br /&gt;under the astrological sign Libra.&lt;br /&gt;Your Life path number is 8.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Julian calendar date of your birth is 2445256.5.&lt;br /&gt;The golden number for 1982 is 7.&lt;br /&gt;The epact number for 1982 is 5.&lt;br /&gt;The year 1982 was not a leap year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The date of Easter on your birth year was Sunday, 11 April 1982.&lt;br /&gt;The date of Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent) on your birth year was Wednesday 24 February 1982.&lt;br /&gt;The date of Whitsun (Pentecost Sunday) in the year of your birth was Sunday 30 May 1982.&lt;br /&gt;The date of Whisuntide in the year of your birth was Sunday 6 June 1982.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;As of 1/9/2006 9:40:16 AM EST&lt;br /&gt;You are 23 years old.&lt;br /&gt;You are 279 months old.&lt;br /&gt;You are 1,213 weeks old.&lt;br /&gt;You are 8,488 days old.&lt;br /&gt;You are 203,721 hours old.&lt;br /&gt;You are 12,223,300 minutes old.&lt;br /&gt;You are 733,398,016 seconds old.&lt;br /&gt;Your age is the equivalent of a dog that is 3.32211350293542 years old.

type='text'></title><content type='html'>So fast.. end of week le.. now is the time for me to slack.. cos it's my holidays.. but it still feels kinda weird.. the feeling of suddenly becoming very free.. being able to  laze in bed till late morning/noon.. being able to go out once your fren calls u.. its like.. too gd to be true? anyone has this feeling?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My exams ended on Wed.. after which me.. adam.. roy.. ivan.. went to Lido there to makan dinner.. *hungry* went to this place called "Pepper Lunch".. weird name.. cos y lunch? we were supposed to be having dinner at that time.. haha.. but it's quite special.. sort of like Seoul Garden.. but different style.. and cheaper.. dun be mistaken.. its not buffet.. but you have to mix the rice and cook the meat urself on the sizzling hot plate they give you personally.. and you are able to add the sauce of ur choice.. hehex.. those who wish to try something new can go there..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thurs.. Went out with god sis and Aaron in the noon to go walk around town abit.. was late.. cos i missed the bus.. paiseh paiseh.. we strolled around Far East.. I bought a brown tee for myself.. Aaron got 1 tee too.. while xiao mei got herself a pair of white specs.. hahaz.. look like going to snow skii those type.. -.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fri.. Sat.. Sun.. everyday go out.. hehex.. very fast my pocket will have 1 big hole liaos.. Friday went to Bugis.. Before that met Regine to return her the books which i borrowed from her like 2 semesters ago? hehex.. thanks gal.. ^^ Met Gerald at Clementi and we went to Ivan's parents' stall at Taman Jurong to have our lunch.. wa.. nice food there.. no wonder their business was so gd.. in about 4-5 hrs a day almost all their food is sold.. Went to Ivan house after that.. here's the sian part.. we had to wait for him like 3 hrs before we can go down to Bugis? -.- cos his mother not hm yet.. so he has to entertain his grandma and some other relatives to play MJ.. tsk tsk.. 3 Que Yi.. so he has to play.. sian.. i almost dozed off on his bed.. luckily got XBox to keep me awake and entertained.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday went to PS.. nothing much.. had dinner at Parklane de wantan mee there.. wanna comment on something here.. izit very hard for a person to apologise after wrongly accusing someone else of something which they nvr do? trash things out.. ya rite.. trying to change the topic every now and then.. dun think i stupid and i dunno what you are trying to do.. treat it as its just our luck to have met you as a fren.. I dun care whether you are reading this anot.. but u suk big time.. and a freaking bad AP. think you very big shot.. /me shows the thumbs down sign. Unless 1 day u apologize to my xiao mei.. or else.. I think not just me.. some ppl ard will notice what your true character is like.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday went to Suntec with Weinian and KC. woo.. went to Sakae to have our dinner.. cos WN got $20 voucher.. hahaz.. but.. the service there sucks.. so whoever wanna eat pls dun go there.. and macham they very low on budget like that.. ordered Salmon Don.. no salmon.. sold out.. ordered soft shell crab.. no more crab.. the worst thing is.. when we ordered our dessert..  the ppl there nvr even bothered to inform us that their freezer was spoilt.. and no dessert for that day because their ice-cream is not ready. we waited for like 15 mins.. then i grew short of patience and asked one of the waitresses.. it was only then that she told us that the desserts couldn't be served.. wth.. waste my time.. call for bill.. also no one wanna attend to us.. had to stop a passing by waiter also.. sucky service down there.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After dinner headed to Esplanade for a walk down there.. about 10 plus then go hm le. . ok.. thats all for now.. hehex.. blog again next time.. jA`&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16602333-113311365319979111?l=livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/feeds/113311365319979111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16602333&amp;postID=113311365319979111' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/113311365319979111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16602333/posts/default/113311365319979111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livinitewayiwant.blogspot.com/2005/11/so-fast.html' title=''/><author><name>Gim Loong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02416911397950256548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-e33An_t6Ec/SOMdU5cEvnI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_FVKtjzGb2Q/S220/DSCF0407.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16602333.post-113277473571848250</id><published>2005-11-24T03:26:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-11-24T03:38:55.760+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Okay.. quite some time since I last blogged.. main reason being I was bz revising for my exams.. yea.. its that dreaded time of the semester again.. phew.. even though not many papers this sem, it was still quite tough going for this examinations. Firstly, we only had our CS3214(the horror 8MC module) last Tuesday, and the day before, we found so many bugs in our programme that we had to stay till quite late to prepare for the presentation. 2 days gone just like that.. so we were left with only a few days to revise for 3 papers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday, I had my CS3235(Comp Security) exam.. tough like mad.. seriously hope pass can le.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday, slept till 2pm!! I dunno how I slept so much sia.. but was partly due to the fact that I was wide awake till 5am the nite b4. The coffee I drank kept me awake.. -.- at nite couldn't sleep.. cos woke up too late.. slept around 4-5am again.. &gt;.&lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, had 2 papers.. JS1101E(Japanese Studies) &amp; MKT1003(Marketing). JS was ok..  the only problem was that the paper is at 9am.. and I only slept for like.. 3-4 hrs? so chilly in the morning.. nice weather for a nice lazy sleep lorz.. hahahz.. Dad drove me home after JS and fetch me back for my 5pm MKT paper. Lotsa thanks to my Dad for fetching me around not just during this intense and stressed period.. but mostly throughout the semester. =) MKT paper was also damn tough.. and i mean.. REAL TOUGH. Did not expect such difficulty for a level 1 module -.- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the bright side, my exams are finally over! Now its time for me to enjoy my holidays yea.. a few things gotta do.. yea.. the first thing I did was to watch my anime.. hahaz.. downloaded quite a few but haven't had the time to watch.. and my Jap Drama Densha Otoko also.. After which I decided to revamp my blog.. the old one.. even I myself finds it hard to read.. the snow may be nice.. but it takes a long time to load righT? and sometimes it just hangs the browser. After some photoshopping and searching for the right stuffs to cut and paste, I finally came up with this blogskin. The "banner" at the top was my own design.. hehex.. my fav jap actress - Horikita Maki. Kawaii neh? This was 1 of the few times I really did photoshopping and this was my.. hmm.. can say the first ever wallpaper I created myself.

Ah Bai is freak! lols.. crazee guy.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;woo.. evening onwards more ppl came le.. one of the rare guest was Alex.. haha.. cos his gf went to Msia.. he's a free man for the time being.. =P slack slack slack.. headed for Bukit Timah to have supper... took Alex's RX8 down.. PHEW~ wat a caR! got the chance to sit in his car.. a little squeezy though.. lols.. but had a great time chatting with them over supper.. looking forward to the christmas gathering we planned! ^^"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;some quarrels between us and 1 guy.. those involved should know who ba.. nothing much to comment here.. but i think i should pt out some things.. firstly, what r frenz for.. they r not there for u to take for granted or take advantage of.. ppl bear with u.. tell u ur mistakes.. u better try to change.. not just pass it off by saying its just ur f***ing character and tell us to take it or leave it.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, there's no need for 1 to be trying to seek attention all the time.. the more u try.. the more irritating u r to us.. i tell u.. u urself may not notice it.. put in some effort to get and understand the signals ppl r trying to hint to u.. there's no need for everything to be said out.. if everything has to be said out or written in black and white or watever.. i can safely say that the friendship will be gone in no time.. the thing is.. u must know what u r doing.. and sometimes wat u did may be wrong.. but as frenz.. some of us can take it.. and bear with u.. but not all.. must be more "zi dong"(in chinese)..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;last but not least.. feeling of inferiority.. is there a need to feel this among a gd bunch of frenz who treat u as their gd fren too? and 1 more thing.. paiseh paiseh.. abit "luo suo" here.. is some table manners which everyone should take note of.. be it talking loudly with ur saliva sometimes flying everywhere( i know its gross).. be it digging into someone else's food with ur spoon becos you are not satisfied after eating ur own meal.. be it eating someone else's food without that person's permission.. all these are UGLY AND RUDE table manners.. as a guy.. will u do this when u go out on a date with a gal? if u do that most probably the gal would have run away.. as gd frenz.. or in army.. we may not mind.. i still rmbr the days in army when all of us dig into 1 pizza or share 1 bottle of soft drinks.. yea its fun.. but when u go out u do this.. ppl will look at u differently.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok.. now..
