Sorry to the loyal people who have been checking my blog for updates! Have been really busy these few days. Work was busy, so no time to blog or msn :( Just a brief summary of these few days, in case you thought I died or my blog closed down.
GOOD NEWS (1)
I AM OFFICIALLY EMPLOYED!!!!!!!!!!! starting work on the 12th July, at People's Association, as Assistant Constituency Manager (yes I cannot stop flaunting the seemingly important job title muahaha). Pay is good! Will be posted to Bukit Panjang CC. Only bad thing is the working hours, Sat and Sun have to work :( bye bye dota and World Cup Final T_T
GOOD NEWS (2)
My commencement is on 13th July, morning 9am!! Please do come along to see me throw the stupid square hat! After 15yrs of academic imprisonment, I'm finally free! Just collected my gown yesterday (thanks to bro send me there). Kinda nostalgic when I returned to school, can literally feel the memories flooding me, of lectures with Huiyi and Huiting, lunch with Sophia and Janvin. Oh well. bye bye NUS! <3
GOOD NEWS (3)
Brazil is strong in the World Cup!!! wahahaha. I know this has no direct impact on my life, but I'm feeling good! I'm sad that England lost, but still, Keith helping me support Brazil now!
No pictures for this post, cause I'm running out of time (Boss might walk in any minute now). I promise to update a more fulfilling post by end of this week. hahahaha.
On an ending note, here's what I've been listening to today:
I'm Awesome - Spose
Motherfucker I'm awesome
No you're not, dude don't lie
I drive around in my mum's ride
I'm awesome
A quarter of my life gone by, and I met all my friends online
Motherfucker I'm awesome
I would run away from a brawl
There's no voicemail, nobody calls
I'm awesome
I can't afford to buy eight balls
And I talk to myself on my facebook wall
I'M AWESOME
p/s: talking about awesome, Toy Story 3 is AWESOME!

I had a semi-ghostly encounter at work last week. My office's toilet is isolated and creepy, with the mirrors having peeling black patches all over. If not for the fact that I'm too humji to take photos, I would have uploaded pictures to show you all exactly how scary the toilet is.
During lunch that day, I began to think about my experience. Our definitions of ghosts follow scientific discovery. If we have an encounter that could be explained scientifically, we wouldn't think that it was ghostly. For example, my toilet experience. If the toilet I used was those high-tech type which automatically flushes after every 30mins, you would think I'm stupid to be scared by auto-flushing toilets. Even if the flushing was caused by ghosts, we still wouldn't be inclined to believe that way because in our minds the flushing had been explained by scientific reasons. So I started thinking along that line. Maybe ghosts aren't scary; maybe ghosts are just another phase of existence, just that it is not explained scientifically yet. In the future, maybe a type of spectacles could be invented such that the "ghosts" are visible to our eyes. Like bacteria, just because we cannot see them with naked eyes does not mean that they are not there.
The toilet has 3 cubicles. That day I went into the toilet alone. The left and right cubicles' doors were half closed, but nobody was using it. Naturally, I went into the centre cubicle. When I was inside, I heard flushing from the left cubicle. Seconds after that, I heard flushing from the right cubicle. You might think that there was nothing wrong with toilets flushing. However, the toilets at my office were those SUPER old type, you have to manually push the handle really hard before the toilet flushes. I went out unscathed, without seeing any creepy things, but the experience was still scary enough.

Who says ghosts are scary?!
Of course, that was a means of consoling myself that my experience wasn't that scary. Deep down, I'm still very afraid of ghosts. Yes I believe that they exist, a kind of supernatural existence; whether evil or not its still debatable.

Sorry for the delayed update, because I have been too busy watching the World Cup!
Friday had been a happy day, with me getting a phone call for an interview. After knocking off at 5pm, we went to watch the much awaited Karate Kid:
Just kidding, not THIS karate kid, but.....
Movie was really funny. Watched with Yong Soon, Fey, Bro, Liting and baobei. Full of suspense and packed with action. I would say, great movie!
After that, we went to Paradiz centre, wanting to catch the opening match of WC, Mexico vs Greece. To our great disappointment, we must bet $50 EACH (50X6=$300) to enter. Sibei sian and kanjiong cuz WC going to start. Then, in a flash of inspiration, we decided to watch at Tinghao de house. It was instant subscription, but the images laggy laggy. Then Tinghao cursed and swore, say wanna fuck singtel de people. LOL.
Sunday was spent watching WC as well, sleeping at 5am, waking at 12pm. Sibei tiring, more tiring then work.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Went to visit daddy today morning. Very happy and consoled. Bought 3 pairs of heels in an impulse, with Tinghao rolling his eyes hahahaha. Then he accompanied me to knnpcb far Lavendar for my interview. We passed by the Jalan Besar stadium, and being swaku, we took a few photos.
Pitch so chio, artificial grass leh
You know why pitch and stands so freaking nice????

Was sitting down in front of the computer today, and started to think about some old friends I had. Friendships, though precious and important, get eroded by time easily. I remember my best friend gang cenpen, back in secondary school. Now, 5yrs later, I don't even know what are they doing now(school or working?) or even which part of the globe are they now(where are you kong?). Its nostalgic to think of the past, to think we did everything for each other everyday. But now, we cant even meet up once a year. Its nobody's fault, can only blame time. I still think of them sometimes, hoping that we could get together and talk about old times.
Talking about forgotten friendships, I had this friend since primary school. Unfortunately, we fell out due to a totally childish blog incident. He didnt know this, but I had kept this email all these time(not lazy clear inbox, is purposely keep ok)
Whenever I see this email now, I feel kinda sad that things had to turn out this way. There was also a recent dota incident, which he said something hurtful. He probably didn't sense it, but it made me feel unimportant and useless. No elaboration on what happened, just felt that perhaps our friendship really cannot put up with the test of time.
On another note, I had this other friend since secondary school. Its amazing how we got to know each other through an online game, and end up being friends for many years later. However, recently, some bad incident over msn happened again, and the ending is much predictable. If you cherish a friendship, you should be sensitive to topics and tone.
Me: heyy
JK: hi
Me: $%^#&$%&$&$%&??
JK: no
I'm so sick of one word conversations, if you don't wanna talk, you could simply not reply. After purposely chatting in a bad attitude, don't pretend that you care about this friendship, act like your style had been like this all along. It could have been my selfishness that made you miserable. If you are reading this now, I want to tell you that you had been a special friend to me. I'm sorry that you didnt feel it, that you treated our friendship like trash.
-----------
Fortunately, I still have my bestest friend sophia. Even though she is not in Singapore now, our friendship is strong enough as proven these few years. You don't need alot of friends, you just need ONE who understands you inside out, whom you can call to talk when you are down.
Of course, I still have my fantastic family, who had been there with me through my bad experiences(will post one on my bad interview soon). I am lucky to be in this world with my bestest friend, my family, my baobei. Don't wait till its too late, before starting to salvage friendships/relationships. Some broken things cannot be mended.

Prompted by Barbieboo's post, I hence attempt to unravel the mystery behind why people love to play dota. Dota itself is a very complicated game, with over 100 heroes and over 100 different items and recipes. Each game, technically, is different because 10 players choose 10 different heroes, and also the items build. The fun lies in whether you are able to play as a team, to outwit the other team using different item build and engaging styles. I would say it is a game of wit, though I understand that when other people look at dota, they would say:
"A bunch of ants(creeps) fighting one another, then the sound so loud, so irritating" (Ah mei)
"A group of useless demons fight lai fight qu" (Barbie)
Take it like audition, guys cannot understand why we can play one song after another, pressing arrows keys, spending cash to buy the clothes when its just a virtual character. Different ppl have different interests, I can only say, to understand why guys like dota fully, you have only one solution. To play the game to its essentials, really play it like the guys, then you would understand why they can play it everyday, everytime, every free time they have. :D

Can't believe I just spent 1h trying to put a gadget on my blog. And failed spectacularly. HOW TO PUT A PHOTO GADGET WHERE I CAN UPLOAD FROM MY PHONE DIRECTLY WITHOUT ADDING A NEW POST?! Someone save me and my time please.
Today has been a pleasant day, I feel like a normal person with a normal job(except that mine is a temp job and might get dismissed any day without notice). All humans need work, to have a sense of worth and purpose in this world. Had dinner with bro and baobei at 300+(if my stupid gadget was working, I would have uploaded the delicious pictures).
So long never visit my papa, maybe next week should go. Thats all for now. Time to shower and dota, sleep and end my peaceful day.
P.S: Thanks sophia for helping me edit my sidebar <3 Would you please add the damn gadget for me too? (^_^)
