/trans/bapok/and-the-list-goes-on-and-im-calling-your-name,

It's been quite some time and many things has occurred since my last post. I can still remember..

1) The romance that i've started with Natalie Lau Xin Yun. Ah Yun ahhhh! NatNat sounds cuter!

2) My ORD date on 09 September 2007. Whole lot louder than me, "ORD LOH!"

3) The departure of my God-grandmother, my PTI senior Chee Wee, Mr Suharto, Lydia Sum. You will always be remembered, rest in peace..

4) Celebrating Xmas with angel white as a local theme.

5) Transit into a new year with high hopes of getting 10million dollar Ang Bao.(dream on, Dex)

6) Getting myself a 1.5k valued price tag. (BUY ME QUICK!)

7) Understanding that the economy is getting worse as more $2 ang baos surfaced and of cause those who did better gave more, like 8/10/12/20/60/68/80/985803947343004.

8) Understanding that the director of AVP2 is aware that Predators are nocturnal but humans are not.

9) Understanding that if you learn kungfu, u can turn back the clock, and also jump very far lah.

10) understanding that by the time i finish writting this post, ITS TIME TO KNOCK OFF!!!!!!

Dummies Guide to Conducting RT

2007-08-01T12:09:00.000+08:00

RT(Remedial Training) is the fear of most Singaporean men i must say. For every session when i meet new faces, the first thing i ask from my RT men will be "Anyone of you came to RT on volunteery basis?" and the response broke into a second of very very cold silence before the guys finally gave me a bit of a chuckle. And this has become my ice-breaker for every "freshmen" batch that i take. Today i'm going to show you guys how i go about conducting an RT session the "Dexter's Style".

In general, there are 2 aspects of the RT men that i'm going to touch on: the physical aspects and the mental / personality aspects.

Now let's look at what are the physical aspects of the RT men. They are clearly broken down into 3 different groups:

1) Failed Running and defaulters
2) Failed static stations and running
3) Obese/overweight

There are different ways of handling each individual groups as they have different needs and ultimately you have to understand that, coming to RT isn't much of their choice.

How to tackle group 1 - Failed Running and defaulters?
For this group of people, your objective is only to whack them on high intensitive running over first half of their schedule, then on technical aspect during the second half of the schedule. Defaulters are people who failed to take their IPPT during their previous window, therefore it's most likely they will pass after their phase 1 test, so more attention must be given to those near pass crowd. Seeing them shake my hand and say, "Eh PTI, for my whole life i never pass my 2.4km run before but you proved me wrong!" is my greatest satisfaction.

Adopt a "Routine-Tactical Trainer" style whereby a routine will repeat every weekly. A daily routine will only bore them. Because of intensive training, the tactical part is important.

For Eg. tuesday and sunday group will get higher intensive training on tuesdays and lighter one on sunday; wednesday and saturday group will get a farely balanced intensive difference; thursday and sunday group will get a tougher training on sunday.

How to tackle group 2 - Failed static stations and running?
For this group of people, your objective is to target their weakest station, for some is either chin-up or standing broad jump including running. This group will expect the toughest training for the fact that more areas need to be improved in order for them to pass their IPPT. Focus your attention on the near pass population. Achieving a better-than-average passing percentile is my greatest satisfaction.

Adopt a "Motivational-Tactical trainer" style whereby you motivate them for the fact that they have a bigger obstacle to clear compared to the previous group. Therefore as an instructor, keep them highly motivated and encourage them. Do train your men tactically in such a way that you do not over-train them in one specific area. Isolate your training to one or two areas for one session and another area on the other so that they can have enough rest in between.

For Eg. Either go hard SBJ trg and light chin-up trg + gym conditioning for session #1 of the week then hard run and gym conditioning for session #2 of the week.

How to tackle group 3 - Obese/overweight?
For this group of people, expect the least hope of passing IPPT. Your objective is to help them cut off excess fats as much as possible. Do keep in mind that this bunch of people have no intention of passing their IPPT so scrape away the idea of getting them to be on the ball. Give them high repetition training over a longer period and give extra precaution to their joints. Focus your attention on one particular joker who will crack up the whole gang with laughters.

Adopt a "Joker-Tinkerman trainer" style whereby you crack some jokes to make their day. This is the bunch that you need to spend the most time "buying" their heart by communicating. Be a tinkerman and get your brain ready to create something out of nothing. This is how you make training interesting and if possible, keep every session as unique as possible. Instill some team-spirit, self-motivation technique, and some psychomotor training which they will find it difficult to execute and yet not shagging them out easily. Seeing them perspire happily is my greatest satisfaction.

Now that you've learnt the physical aspects of the RT men. It's time to go deeper into them: understanding and handling each and every individual. Let's go into the mental/personality aspects. You can find them in every group, trust me. The following ways are ways of gaining their acceptance.

1) Mr. Garang
2) Mr. Chao Geng
3) Mr. Low Profile
4) Mr. Talk Cock
5) Mr. Know-it-all
6) Mr. Hokkien Peng

Till now i can only come out with 5 different classes of RT men. If you have more to state, pls feel free to add in! Some individual can actually have more than one of the above characteristic, so do not be surprised.

How to handle Mr. Garang?
He will be very siao on in training. Make him your role model and u'll be given thumb's up.

How to handle Mr. Chao Geng?
There might be a reason behind his doing. Find out why he's doing so. Is the training too tough?? is he not feeling well?? if those are not his reason, i make sure he doesnt geng too obvious and affect the rest.

How to handle Mr. Low Profile?
He is quiet and seldom talk. So, do 1-to-1 talk with him.

How to handle Mr. Talk Cock?
He wants attention and is very influential, make him the "CSM" of the team and he will soar and move the team.

How to handle Mr. Know-it-all?
Lend him your ears for at least 5mins.

How to handle Mr. Hokkien peng?
Converse in hokkien and swear at them jokingly. they LOVE it im serious!

That's all folks. Training RT isn't an art, it's a skill that needs to be perfected. Play a good role and meet your objectives; Win hearts and give welfare, do not use conventional ways against conventional soldiers.

Good Luck!

Mizuno Wave Run: From pre-war to aftermath..

2007-07-22T21:32:00.000+08:00

Number registerd. Time for some run!

Saucony Trigon 5 Guide(not glide)
Age: 2days
Mileage: 10km

What a night i had with my sis and her clicks..the whole night was filled with booze, ciggies and much fun-filled laughters and that whisky on the rock offered by one of my Aunties which i will never forget!

It was raining this morning and judging from the time i slept at around 0400, i had only 2hours of sleep. Still contemplating on whether to go for the Mizuno Wave Run and before i decided on anything, my mind went blank and i went back to Lalaland..

At about 0630, my cellphone ranged thanks to Brian Widjaja. He was late for the run and as agreed, he stopped by my place on cab to pick me to Temasek Polytechnic where the run was held. While on the cab, I called Leah and she told me she's still waiting for her friend's reply and so..

It was 0720 when we managed to make our way all the way to the stadium. It was so friggin packed!!! . After we managed to locate the baggage with the help of MC Daniel Ong, Brian and I headed to the track and joined our fellow camp mates for some warm-up.

The race started at 0730, and after strolling for 10 to 20 seconds, we finally managed to find some running spaces for ourselves. I then started to overtake as many people as possible and Brian followed closely behind me. We met with several bottle-necks which really irritated me because we have to wait for the bottle-neck to clear again before proceeding on.

Halfway through the race, after much struggle keeping my feet on dry spots as not to get myself wet, I waved my white flag. Feeling like a very-much-demoralised-personnel with that wet feet, the rest of the distance then depended very much on my determination because of the additional weight of the mud water in my shoes. In the midst of the run, i spotted Weiren and Warrant Alan ahead of me, and an anonymous who called me by my name when i don't even know who he was.

I crossed the finishing line with little effort as a matter of fact that i've already lost most of my senses except for sensing water. I joined the finishing crowded at the water point grabbing bottles of water. After refreshening up, i head up further and looked at the time which read 52:20, a very average timing though.

Brian crossed the finishing mark at about 55 minutes, then came Xavier. We then gathered at the finishing line getting out bottles ready to splash water on people we know. We then head on to collect our googie bags and personal baggage.

After getting our stuffs, Brian went off. Xavier and i and another Khatib dude (sry dood i couldn't rem your name even tho u're cute. Leah said so.) made our way to TP's shower room for a shower while Leah came to collect her goodie bag. She missed the run because of LAZINESS!!!

After our shower, Leah was almost done with her collection. We made our way in Xav's vehicle to pick her up and headed to Tampines for lunch. And Camp's next.

A review on the organisation of the run, i feel that it sucks!! the start point should be situated nearer to the gate. Men's and women's baggage trucks should not be placed so far away from each other. Reduce bottle-necks and if possible, widen the running route. More ushers could be appointed for crowd control in the stadium and also along the route because some of the fun run people actually went into the 10km route.. lol.

ps: To the dude who called out to me this morning, i apologise for not recognising you.. please let me know who you are.. thanks!

World's end in 2012??

"WELY GUUD!"

2007-07-07T08:48:00.000+08:00

I was chilling out with my buddy Deroy over at my uncle's KTV pub last night when he told me this very inspirational story.you might have heard this somewhere before but this is my very own version.

One day the King went hunting with his abang. Amidst the thick vegetation, they spotted a deer and from a distance, the King then drew his bow and shot his arrow bringing down the helpless deer.

"Damnit! sibei pajiao! kenna leg!", said the King.
"WELY GUUD!", replied his friend with a thumbs-up sign.

Puzzled, the King and his friend called it a day with the catch.

The next day, the King and his abang went hunting again but this time round he brought his newly bought 7mm rifle. Yet again he spotted a deer and from a distance. he then took aim with his rifle and pulled the trigger. A "tug!" sound followed by a loud explosion came from the chamber of the rifle. The King's thumb was then blown off by the chamber explosion. After witnessing what has happened, the King's Abang rushed to his aid and bandaged his hand.

He then made the same absurd remark with a thumbs-up sign, "WELY GUUD!".

Furious, the King locked him up in the prison cell without questioning him.

A week later...

Despite losing his thumb, the King went for another hunting trip alone. This time round he wasn't so fortunate. A group of cannibals from a nearby tribe captured the King.

Back at the tribal base, the cannibals were preparing a cauldron filled with water over a burning camp-fire.

"Waku ku waku waku wa!(ahhh! this one defininitely tastes good!)", said cannibal#1.

"kuku wa ku wakuwawa ku waku waku wawa kuwa kuku!(ehhh wait! He doesn't look perfect. check out his fingers! only 4 sia! Later we makan him we lost one finger how?)", replied canibal#2 who was a QC(Quality Check) specialist.

Cannibal#2 then reported his doubtful finding to his chief who then freed the lucky bastard due to lack of QC for the catch.

After strandling in the forest for approximately 20 hours, the King finally made it back to his mighty castle. He immediately went on to release his abang from the prison cell without going for his Dettol shower to clear off his BO.

"Eh bang sorri lah i mistook you! You saved aku's life and yet aku made u suffer!", said the King.

"WELY GUD!", replied the friend.

"U siao ah? lidat oso very good meh?", said the King.

"Look, if u nv lock me up ah, aku will go hunting with u and eventually got makaned lah u kuku!", explained the friend.

And so they live gayfully ever after..

So all u kukus out there, no matter how bad a situation is, it's always better to stay positive ya?

"VERY GOOD!"

p.s. The characters are all made up and 100% fictional if not money-back-guaranteed. ;D

Time for test!

It's a great experience. That day i went with my younger sis, her friends, and my younger bro. Went to many places on bike that we rented for 4 bucks for whole day! That's cheap! And that explains the quality of the bike too....
Now let the pix do the talking.

Amazing Race, the singapore version

2006-05-06T02:04:00.000+08:00

Today is supposed to be a leadership activity which i guessed would be held in the multi-purpose hall like any other boring lesson. It has turned out unexpectedly something more appealing! I'll just cut it real short.

In the morning, our groups of 4 mixed into groups of 2 and we got our Ops order the very first thing after we took our Rappelling theory test. Our team leader briefed us on some of the things that we might be doing later on like where to go, what to do, blah blah..

Our team of 12 set off by foot to the gate where we took a shuttle bus catered personally by one of us, to Raffle City where we made a transaction at a given time. Of course we need evidence that we have visited the place at the given time, with a digicam with all our faces in the pix and the ATM machine, thanks to a passer-by who took picture for us. That was our first mission. Easy rite? after that we have to go a 7-11 somewhere 300m away and purchase something at a given time yet again with recipe. Then we got back to the ATM again for one last transaction before proceeding on to buy a 1kg banana somewhere before moving on to our next checkpoint which is somewhere along east coast park. i find those transactions very LAME! but fun la.

we made our way there with means of public transports. Then from there, we made a run all the way to bedok jetty where we asked a cute roller-blader girl to help take a photo. Then we ran to our next checkpoint which is the lagoon where we took another picture. After that we need to go to Full Moon something something where we approached 2 really GORGEOUS babes help take photo. By that time, we received an order that we must be at Mac Donalds in 4 mins!!!!!! WE WERE ABOUT TO TAKE THEIR NUMBERS!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!! we then sprint to the destination which is estimated to be 1km away!!!! 1km in 4mins??!?!?!? THAT'S FAST!!! WITH THOSE BLOODY LOADS ON!!!! from there, we were to go by the underpass to the other side and clear a low-wall which is a stretch of red wall, really low. THAT'S LAME!!!! We then moved on to a playground nearby where the other team were resting. They have completed their mission!!! cheaters!!! they were smart enuff to take Taxi. We're not that stupid either to spend that kinda money on this game. *roar* We did our forfeit: 3 rounds of pebble walking barefooted. SHIOK! I MISSED THOSE 2 GIRLS!!!! ARGH!!! After that, we had a debrief before ending the session. Then we went play pool, then powling, then Chomp Chomp, then home.

FYI, during the missions, the exact mission differs alot from the actual one because they pusposely want us to adapt to changes. So the aim of this game is to let us adapt to changes and also a test of our leadership capabalities. Well done guys! Pics to come in next issue. ^^

The sprint legend..

2006-04-07T20:23:00.000+08:00

Hi there! This week has been a very smooth week fortunately. Not much troubles caused for our commanders. Well, on Tuesday, i went to TTSH's Podiatrist dept to get my customised in-sole made. The nurse got my feet into a mould and it's done within a minute, she then told me to come back in a month time to collect the in-sole.

Been looking forward to Monday because i can't wait to see Mr. Kunalan for his lectures. Well, some of you might be wondering who Mr. Kunalan is. He is a very well-known athlete in the 60s and 70s. Click here for his profile. Alright, now let's get down for some games before some TV. Cya peeps!!

ITBS - Iliotibial Band Syndrome

2006-03-24T21:18:00.000+08:00

WTF!!! IM DOWN WITH Iliotibial Band Syndrome!!!! SHIET!!! This is a common injury in athletics and it's caused by running in bad forms.

I went to the MO(medical Officer) on wednesday and he suspected i got ITBS but finalised as a muscle strain and told me to rest for 1 day. Today i went back to him after some plyometric exercises because of a pain at the side of my hip. He then confirmed that it's Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Oh what the fuck! Scheduled an appointment for physiotherapy with the medical centre at Safti MI. Hope this wun affect my performance........sigh!...

BFSC: Basic Fitness Sergeant Course

2006-03-10T21:53:00.000+08:00

Whoa! I can't believe i'm still alive here updating my blog.. Course starts on Wednesday and we've already done 1 IPPT, 1 5KM run and 1 SOC Clean fatigue. The good thing is that we had nights off almost everyday. I can't imagine what's gonna come ahead of us.. I can sense hell!

Not bad for a good kick start on our fitness. After passing out, we'll be called FS(Fitness Sergeant), formally called PTI(Physical Training Instructor). FS is the new term introduced in around 2002 if i'm not wrong. So far so good, our instructors did a good job by leading by example, teaching us in a very professional way. Lessons on knowing every parts of our body seem fun as we occassiaonally test each other by pointing to different areas of the body and the other party has to identify the scientific name. I'm looking forward to more of these, including more hell of physical training for the nest 11 weeks.

Pple out there, pls wish me all the best.. thanks!!!!

I GOT IN!!

2006-02-26T21:16:00.000+08:00

YES!! PTI!!! tmr have to report at 0745 Pasir Laba camp at SPT. YES!!!!

Training in SISPEC..

2005-12-24T16:41:00.000+08:00

Hey guys i'm back!!

New things...everything is new over there at Pasir Laba Camp..Sooooo new!! And yet we had a hard time cleaning up the areas due to the aftermath over at the construction work of the parade square just next to our company line.

SISPEC Alpha Company is where we belong. Most of us came from BMTC Cougar and Taurus Company in addition to some other regular trainees, and recoursees. I'm over at Platoon 1, Section 1, Bed 5. I saw many familiar faces other than those cougar warriors that i went through thick and thins with. Xie Zhen Hong, my good old buddy since my primary school days..lost contact with him from the day we moved on to secondary school education. He's in platoon 4 with my good old whacking-each-other-up strong buddy during my secondary school days, Thiruselvam.

Nice to see my poly friend from class DBI0202, Wilson who's in platoon 3 with my poly classmate AKA basketball and crapping buddy during my poly days, Sam Lim.

Gone are the good old days but it's always good to recall the past especially to keep your brain cells active at least, =D.

Well for the first week, our commanders treat us like friends. I got from an unknown source that Alpha company is the most welfare company in SISPEC, nevertheless i will not give discount to the amount of standard that i'm gonna put in for the course, as i aspire to pursue my ambition to become a Physical Training Instructor(PTI) or an Officer.

The festive seasons are coming one by one. Firstly, let me wish over dudes and babes a very Merry Christmas!! Don't forget the meaning of Christmas, it's not a day for u to rest, it's neither a day for u to exchange present, discover the meaning yourself if you have yet to know the significance. ;)

Cya on New Year Day! Cheers!

The Situational Test was hell...The purpose was to test our ability under harsh environment and shagness..omfg...got bitten by some unknown insect all over my hand and they itch alot okay!!! To make matter worse, i had fever on the third day, which i had to overcome the 2nd half of Situational Test under such risk. thank God it's all over. No worry, just a minor throat infection that triggered the fever. Im alright now with some paracetamol medicated.

We had IMT after Sit Test. IMT was fun!!! Hope to go for more of this. Oh ya...IMT is the computerised version of shooting target at a range. Next week will be my live! Range liao...sianz...gonna shoot bird..nevertheless i wun let myself down, all the best Dexter!

Exquisite prawn mee!!

2005-08-28T11:28:00.000+08:00

My good buddy Hon Pun introed me to the prawn mee @ Kim Seng Plaza last night. It's damn good!!! The best that i've tasted!! The unique part is the prawns freshly cooked alive which gives you the essence of every part of the prawn and the way it is priced based on the number of prawns you want. To all of those who might plan to go there, please try the dry one! It's Superb!!!

Now let's look at some pictures.

	The Shop
	The tank filled with prawns LIVE IN ACTION!!!

Food Fiesta!!!

2005-08-13T22:48:00.000+08:00

Just last week, i went to 3 different restaurants on different days.

The first was Keng Fei's farewell lunch with whole of Jagdip's team @ The Cafe, Fort Canning. Too bad I didn't take any pictures. The buffet was great especially the prawns!!! Love 'em!

The second was a Leonard's treat for our contribution on development of the SIP system @ Outback Steakhouse, Millenia Walk. Some pix featured below.
.
.
.

The Menu..

Trust me, the appetisers are ~~too~~ appetising...

Millenia Walk

The third, Keng Fei and Wai Men's farewell lunch with the usual lunch kakis @ Swissotel Merchant Court. The buffet was a great one..with many asian delights. That day was our nation's birthday, so we thought of wearing red.
.
.
.

Sashimi and Soya Duck are my favs there!!

Penang Laksa!! Great!!

Not forgetting the cakes but i still prefer their durian paste.

Group shot in the hotel.

Group shot just outside the hotel. This pix is rather funny...look at the sign..it reads "Emergency Assembly Area". hahahaha!!!

Riverside Point is very pointed.

Sky getting a lil dark..

Yes, after typing so much i'm getting tired. With soccer all the way from morning till noon and basketball in the evening, who wouldn't get tired?? Before i sign off, i'd like to show you guys what i had for lunch today..

Home-made spaghetti!! Yummy!

Happy Birthday Singapore!!

2005-08-10T10:22:00.000+08:00

This should be a belated one but nvm lah. This time round, the Garmen adopted a different approach of celebrating the nation's birthday by holding celebrations in different areas of Singapore and of course The Padang was the central of attraction. It puzzled me when i saw how much fireworks the Gahmen could afford on that night itself but i don't actually care lah..just puzzled..hmm..

I've not uploaded the pics yet..the only ~~excuse~~ reason is because i was too ~~lazy~~ busy. APIS system is not finished yet and today is my ultimatum.

Just yesterday the lunch cliques had a farewell lunch @ Swissotel Merchant Court. The buffet was a good one, soya duck, fresh salmon, durian paste and many many more!!

Guess who i saw today?!??!?!? Even more surpirsed than seeing policemen doing patrols!!! look at this pix!

Job Predictor

2005-07-25T10:14:00.000+08:00

I got this link from Claris, who then got from Lexandria, who got from Cowboy Caleb who got Faith who got this from Melody who finally got from Brian. The job predictor.

With Claris choking on her bananas, Lexandria cursing and swearing about the confusion on the spelling of the result, Cowboy Caleb thinking it's bullshit, Faith disagreeing in disbelief, Melody who surprisingly likes her job and Brian who hates being a Garden Gnome, you guys would probably think that i would do the same thing that the majority has done: "I HATE IT!". Wrong Wrong Wrong!! HAHAHA! LOOK BELOW!!

Cyber Wars: Vengeance Of The Hackers

2005-07-21T09:36:00.000+08:00

To my awe when i visited SG's top blog, the template became so different that i checked the URL thrice. "http://xiaxue.blogspot.com". it was correct. no pink, no Wendy posing, just a plain site. Just when i read the posts, i realised that it has been hacked. Bad news for her...oh no..so peeps, dun give away your password else it will become a weapon of mass destruction yeah?

Her Gmail account was hacked too.

Here are some tips for you:
1) Do not use words found in dictionary cuz people can trial-an-error.
2) Use a combination of numbers and letters, do not append numbers at the end, preferably somewhere in the middle would be good.
3) Use passwords that are at least 8-9 characters long.
4) Use different passwords for secondary email.
5) And lastly, u might wanna humiliate your enemies in a very in-direct way instead of going all out with a machine gun spraying bullets at them.
6) No doubt with more publicity and fame, there will definitely be a jealous bunch of people out there lurking to strike when you're not aware. So stay alert and drink more coffee =D
7) No more. Or maybe, back up every post??

Oh no...Streetdirectory.com also kenna hacked...source from Mr. Brown.

Here's some work from mspaint.

Back to work!

Back by demand

2005-07-20T13:41:00.000+08:00

Yes. Back by demand. I'm back with more impact! v^^

Alright, just recently they had this Bloggers.SG 2005 and i missed it due to work. Well nevermind, i could get an equal coverage on what had happened in several clicks.

I bumped into Kenny's blog yesterday and i saw something special though: a few photos taken at the blogger conference. Certainly special because they are photos of Sarong Party Girl and Kenny flaunting their "BIG" assets?? Too bad he took that down before noon as it's stirring up TOO many unnecessary comments. Some people are just too narrow-minded and we can't blame them for being like that.

With MrBrown shaking his head, Xia Xue ranting away. Other bloggers have nothing much to say though. My utmost respect to you, Kenny. He certainly is taking his time handling this controversy.

15 Intern students from NYP came in on Monday. Got to know some of them: Michael, Kah Chun, Michelle, Jasima and Cheryl.

Below's a pix with Kah Chun trying to act cool, Jasima concentrating hard, toxicMich so toxic that she's ~~dead~~ fallen asleep, Cheryl staring blankly at her screen, the unknown guy in white doing his stuffs and Xiao Ming in red trying to act as a supervisor.

This morning i had a meeting with the team. Gunawan and i were told to finish up the handover document by this week and also to go along with it, is a list of problematic issues on the software that we're using to develop the system: Performa Studio.

Just when i could heave a sigh of relief, my nightmare came again. Lihfen wanted to extend me for another month because some peeps from another Dept are leaving and they picked me and Gunawan to be the candidates taking over APIS which was launched not long ago. Damn it!! Which means i still have 5 more weeks of hell after this week ends. Gunawan is lucky enough to get only 1/5 of what i will be experiencing because his NUS school term is starting soon, i will be bidding him farewell together with the lunch group on the 29th this month. Well what to do, at least i can keep myself busy till about 2 weeks before my "botakhood".

Jia you bah, Dexter..

Good news or bad news?

2005-07-15T10:48:00.000+08:00

Just too many unpleasant incidents happened recently...

First the London bomb blasts, then came the NKF saga, the truth uncovered about Huang Na's death..and then people shooting one another the way we play CS..the Japan oil tanker incident...Pakistan train disaster..the incident of the malaysian boy chocked to death by a climbing perch...cases of a few teenagers following the suicide "trend", thinking it's cool to jump off a building over failed relationships...and many more..

I guess that's what news is all bout...10 bad news with a random good news huh??

some mother-*toot*ers trying to have fun bombing up places?? some others overwhelmed by greed?? A few too stupid? others too careless?

Sad cases..but they are there for a purpose..that is to make us learn our lessons.
I guess that's the only good ~~news~~ new for us mankind.

Thank God..

P.S. The "God" that i've stated here means the universal one. It does not mean any specific God of any religion. I'm a free-thinker you see.

The pix are up!

2005-07-14T14:25:00.000+08:00

i've finished uploading some of the photos into my Flickr.
Feel free to take a look.

How i wish i could bring this fellow home as a pet..hahaha

Anyway, just to update some of the latest happenings. I signed a freelance agreement with an IT firm last week through a very experienced friend of mine. Well, as my current temp staff contract is gonna end on the 29th, i'll be spending more time on the other side, hoping to get a major deal. That's about it.

I guess i should seek enlightenment so that i can get more blogging wisdom..
is that an excuse?

Soccer Day + The End

2005-06-25T15:53:00.000+08:00

Today is soccer day for me. Halfway through it rained heavily for the first time. The sky is crying but soon the rain stopped and we continued till noon.

When i got back, she told me to give up, which i did after thinking through the night. I didn't really know why. I couldn't breathe for a moment but soon i let out the last breath. It's heartache..it's painful i know and it's time to be strong again. Thanks to her for all the wonderful moments we had together. Thank You..

Looking forward to meeting my friend later at Bishan J8.

The history behind my burning passion

2005-06-25T07:47:00.000+08:00

Ever wonder why my nick is so kiddy, flamekid?? I remember when i played online CS a few years back, other players would often make fun of my nick, saying it's so childish and stuffs and they thought i was a primary school kid. They were all wrong, never judge a person by his name, i'd say. Here's a story behind this nick.

Looking back to those days when i was in primary 6.........

me, "Eh, can help me donate or not??"
Jia Hui, "Can of cuz...why not i donate $2 to you and you donate $2 to me??"
me, "Sure..it's a deal!"

I made a new friend on the bus by the name of Jia Hui. We just received our donation cards today and we became each other's "first customer". I was being introduced to him by Fabian, my buddy during my primary school days. Fabian stayed quite close to me and that's the reason why we got to know each other and in fact, we didn't share the same class though. Jia Hui was his classmate from 6A3 then. Later that day, i found out that he stayed even closer to me(just a couple of blocks away) compared to Fabian. From then on, he joined the lew lian group named after our neighbourhood's name "Lew Lian Garden". I introduced him to the mates like Guang Long, Jeremy, my bro, and those whom i forgot to mention.

Soon he went to Holy Innocent's High School while i moved on to St Gabriel's Secondary School. Slowly the gang grew in numbers, some friends came and went away, one passed away, the rest kept close contact. Soccer, basketball and some childhood games like catching, police and thieves were our favourites.

Time flew and we graduated from secondary education and went into tertiary education. Surprisingly, we went to the same course after choosing it as our first choice. He went into class DBI0202 while i went into class DBI0211.

From then on, we indulged ourselves in several hot games like CS, starcraft, warcraft and many other games. He thought of a nick, hydrokid, which sounded so cool. I then thought of a nick that was closely related but at the other extreme though, flamekid(which wasn't as cool as hydrokid). We were so close that even in the cyber world, we chose an alias that's closely linked. From online gaming to LAN gaming at gaming cafes, or even LAN gaming in school(We actually set up Need For Speed Underground 2 and CS during FYPJ..SHH!) , people thought we were brothers and truly we were really like blood brothers.

Yes, this is now i got my nick. Kind of miss the old school days where we could have fun and not think about other things. Now everyone in the lew lian group moved on in life, some went to NS, some graduated and MIA, some moved overseas, i guess that's life huh?

So from that day when i got my nick, even till now, i found myself slowly being moulded into the cyber character, burning with passion. It's either i do it to the best, or i don't do it at all.

My gaming experience played a very important part in building up my personality. I can still recall how i went from a CS noob to a CS not-so-noob to a CS not-a-noob-anymore, and how i got from 0 frags-51 deaths to 64 frags-2 deaths playing with the same bunch of people. It took me some time before getting to that stage and i can't deny there were many other better players out there. It's all about self-improvement i should say.

Passion is all i have when i do almost everything. Learning how to place the white ball to the right position in a game of pool, learning how to kick a soccer ball properly and learning how to cook a good dish is all about skills but without passion, nothing is really possible.

That's why i live life setting realistic goals which sometimes a few will turn out not so realistic afterall.

2005-06-23T13:18:00.000+08:00

Not really in a very good mood to blog actually..but just for the sake of saving my memory in case my brain spins into ashes, i'll just dump whatever i've remembered in this space.

Let's start from last thursday, could not recall what i did that day but my record showed that i went back at 2000hr, ya..OT again, sigh.

Friday's a happy day for me cuz finally i could meet her after work after missing her for like..3 days?..ya..went Kims Cuisine for dinner cuz i heard it's nice. We shared butter crab, butter prawn with cereal and a plate of fried hokkien prawn mee. Sshiok! then we went to the arcade to shoot some monsters before accompanying her to Bishan to meet her friends but before that we bought the beard papa cream puff and i din't get to eat it. -.- Ya..met Rachie and Andy and the ladies went to get a gift for Peilin while Andy and I hopped around different shops, chatting. Later found out that he lives near me..hahah..Singapore is small la..ya..after the ladies finished their purchase, i sent her back. When i reached home, i realised that she still had some research to do, so i offered to help as much as i could but failed to do so because i wasn't really familiarised with the procedure, so i withdrew my help in case it backfired..haha..actually expected her to complete within a couple of hours but to my horror, she did not turn in until 1000hr!! i could imagine her tired face with a pair of panda-like eyes. poor thing..and her initial plan to the zoo with her aunt had been cancelled to cover up the sleep time that she had forsakened.

Saturday was a soccer day for me. This time we played at kovan's street soccer court instead of the Lorong Ong Lye field. Had a good tan on my skin though..haha..after that went with my bro and Junbin to the famous beef noodle stall nearby for lunch, it's Superb!
By this time, i thought she could have wokened up which she did. My sms went just in time. It's home sweet home from then on.

I woke up on sunday only to experience a stomache discomfort and my thought went wild, "Colon Cancer??????!!". hahhaha...over-sensitivity can really make u go crazy...The discomfort was on and off for the whole day and i felt terrible..it felt like a big stone rumbling in your stomache at times and my head was feeling abnormal that day as i felt another heavy stone lying at the back of my head. However, these symptoms subsided a little after i had a proper meal and replenished enough fluid. hahaahhaha..looks like some old-fashioned methods helps rather than popping pills..

Usual monday blue on monday but after work, i decided to go for a pre-dinner run for 1hr 15mins. I just ran blindly until it's time to go back..haha..ran till Payar Lebar, then 15 rounds the park, then back home. Below's the route i ran.

Din't really calculate the distance i ran cuz i just felt like running to spend my time worthily. ya..after the run i went back, washed up and watch the usual channel 8 drama.

Nothing much on Tuesday and Wednesday except for some arrangement with my colleages here at CrimsonLogic to go for a hike at Macritchie somewhere in July, if im not wrong it will be at the 9th..ya. other than that, it's work WORK and WORK!!! SIP has to be rolled out by July 1st and we haven't really finish with the debugging.. ARGH!! i think my head will roll...hahaha..Gunawan, let's jia you bah...oh ya! almost forget this..last nite after work, i went KTV with Johnny, Nick Toh, Nick Oo and DY. So long din't meet up with them..the singing session was Very fun!! Sang till midnight before taking bus back.

Today is a happy day because we'll be meeting up after work..yes, we've fixed the venue, somewhere near her place so that i can send her back. I can still recall..

my mum asked, "Are you coming back for dinner?"
I replied, "No..i will be meeting her for dinner."
She handed me double the allowance that i would get for the day. So sweet of her.. I love you mum!(even though fathers' day just passed, i treat them as equal as possible ok!) That night i filled my sling bag with some casual clothes and a pair of sneakers before turning in.

ya..so happy, excited, delighted, jump into outer space, jump into galaxy, jump into the mud and act like a pig, and all sorts of silly thing you could think of..just when i was in such good mood, it suddenly turned 360 degrees into the other extreme. She asked me whether we could meet tomorrow(Friday) because she wanted to meet her poly friends. Disappointment overwhelmed me. Sometimes i wonder what's on her mind. So last minute..initially i rejected her request but given a second thought, i felt that she missed her friends too, so i gave her the green light. I got so heated up because it's so last minute and partly because i missed her so much. It's been almost one week since we last met! It's also because if a last min miscommunication between my bro and i that cost our date a week ago and i don't really like this to ever happen again. Sigh..have to miss her for another 24hrs.. But after reading my friend's blog, i discovered that i wasn't in a very bad situation afterall compared to hers. Hey friend, you know who you are. Just want you to be strong and dun be too upset ok?? There may be ups and downs but as a friend, i will always be here to lend a ear. =D

ya..that's all..and i'm still missing her..better not to let this affect my work...else Leonard will kill me..hahaha...back to work.. V^^

I wanna jump into outer space

2005-06-15T09:05:00.000+08:00

hahahahahaha...some of you might be wondering why i put this title. In case you don't know why, this sweet princess of mine used this phrase in her blog to express her delight and so i'm using it now to express mine too. Yup, went out with her yesterday after work but i'll leave the best part for the last. =D

Let's rewind to..monday..ya..I was being occupied with work, wOrK and LOTS of WORK to be done. SIP(Sales Incentive Plan) has got to be rolled out by end of this month and our work will be dued on Tuesday which was the next day for Leonard to carry on with the presentation to Kenneth, the VP of our Dept. Just as things went smoothly throughout the day and me, expecting my part to be completed before the clock ticked at 1830hr, the design tool which i was using gave me another headache which almost knocked me out with just one blow. So that day i stayed till 2330 to fix the problem and seriously not all were being fixed successfully. Took a cab back later. I lived to fight ~~another~~ EVERY OTHER day..

Oh ya..not forgetting Angel's birthday which was around the corner, din't actually plan any surprise though but i had something in mind then. Called my Gurl at 12 midnight and told her to pass the phone to Angel, then i sang her a birthday song with some mixture of fast and deep breaths as i was walking back after da baoing some food from a 24hr coffeeshop near my house. Happy Birthday Angel! Hope she likes it! haha..

Tuesday finally! Happy! Happy! Woke up as usual and did spent more time at the mirror waxing my hair to the most stylist level because i'd be meeting her later this evening. However, i missed the shuttle bus by 10 seconds!!!! When the bus left, i was just inches to it!!! STUPID BUS DRIVER!!!! IT'S NOT EVEN 0830 yet!! He drove off at 0827 and that cost me another 80¢ for i had to take the harbourfront shuttle bus instead. FYI, my journey there is free because i was still on train concession.

GRRRRR! waste my time! #$)@*^$#^#$^@(&@#(%^&@(#@

I shall not talk about my work cuz it's a ~~lil~~ lot boring. Met her at Orchard, went shopping and got myself a Samuel and Kevin Polo-Tee which she chose including 3 pairs of ankle socks. After that we had our dinner at Marche. So Shiok!! The seafood taste so nice!!!!!! Oysters, prawns, sting ray, etc! After dinner we went shopping again and she got herself 2 tops, a necklace and a pair of earring while i got myself a wrist cuff. Then sent her back before heading home by train. So happy that i wanna jump into outer space!!!! wahahahaha!

Gotta get back to work now! Leonard will be presentating to Jagdip soon. Jia You Dexter!!!

The Match

2005-06-12T21:49:00.000+08:00

Hey peeps, i'm back for more updates. Let's start from yesterday, usual light soccer training in the morning, and then in the afternoon, went to my workplace to finish up some integration and testings with Gunawan. Initially wanted to go Clementi for dinner but din't cuz very sianz, so i went home for dinner instead. yup..that's all on a boring Saturday.

Today is our match day, just as confident as the other members, i was hoping we could win. However, with greater confidence, we got greater disappointment. We lose 3-1, so sad. I guess what we needed was just a breakthrough, jia you! The match lasted from 5 to 7, had our shower there before we ate our dinner at some nearby chicken rice stall. We headed home after that.

plz help to Vote for Montage Pictures @ www.starhub.com/ecity-vote from 11 June 2005(SAT), 00:00hrs till 10 July 2005(SUN). For every 100 votes, u'll get a kiss exclusively from Dexter Huang. keke!

yup..That's all..damn tired.

Burn midnight oil = burning your fats!

2005-06-09T16:11:00.000+08:00

I've just realised i lost 2kg within the span of 48hrs and that's not a very good news cuz the product changed from a man to a bear, a panda. So people out there, if you wanna lose weight, this is never a good solution so dun try this at home =D.

Well last night i dun need to do transcripting as i've already finish my tasks there. Darling needed a helping hand for transcript and translation on the remaining tapes and so i recommended my bro to her and she herself got her best friend to help too. I was there again last night to fulfil my full-time job, which i will not elaborate further..haha..Well basically, my volunteery tasks included seeing over their transcripting and translation process. Helped Angel did some trnascripting for a couple of times and did some correction on my bro's part and of course along the way i did slept for several hours which were hardly enough for a healthy being.

This morning, we went for breakfast somewhere nearby before heading home to wash-up after which i set for my workplace. Darling had her fav Half-boiled egg which made my blood boiled a lil seeing how she unhealthily she ate. However, it didn't really matter afterall when i witnessed how she enjoyed the food. For me, i took economical breakfast..

Still tired..

Mission Accomplished.

2005-06-08T14:24:00.000+08:00

Finally the battle was over. And i'm now seated at my workplace again, overwhelmed by lack of sleep. Let's backtrack a little..

Met up with her and da bao dinner to her workplace before devouring up the food with the goal in mind: "Get the job done ASAP!". Yup..got to know some of her colleagues and received some tasks on what i was gonna expect, 1 tape, 26mins of videos to be TRANSCRIPTED and amongst it, 8mins were to be done using chinese software, the rest english. I immediately gave a chuckle upon receiving the task and went, "25mins only arh?" which i soon regretted so much.

Spent about 5 hours doing the 8 minute video, an interview with a chinese dude with strong Chee Na ascent. Damn, couldn't really comprehend what he was actually talking about and the only thing i could do was to roughly guess the closest vocab and dump it all in.

Din't really know when i started on the second tape but what i knew was that it was already a hell-hole for me on the previous tape. Then came another one and this time, strong mix of English and Russian ascent. This time round was a little better compared to the previous one especially when i did not get to type it out in Chinese characters.

When it's done, it's almost near sunrise and so we hired a cab and went straight to my place. Yup, took a short nap before waking up to prepare her fav half-boiled egg(although not very nicely done but hope she) and some fish porridge cooked by my granny before sending her back by cab, after which i headed straight to my workplace.

Mission accomplished! but damn tired..panda eyes @.@...

Road to distinction for Chinese language.

2005-06-07T10:48:00.000+08:00

How many times do you hear people improve their grades tremendously AFTER their academic years? I'm the mad fellow.. As i'm gonna improve my chinese language from C6 to A1.. Many people are starting to jeer at me now, but before you do that, please look at my result slip first. Although the O's already writtened in my history record, i'm still positive in re-writing the present history of my current chinese language because of tonight's challenge.

Darling will be having night shift later tonight and it's TRANSCRIPTING which she hates. She'll be doing the english part and me doing the mandarin part and i can feel the challenge right now. It isn't that bad afterall knowing that Han Yu Pin Yin is the only strength i possess in Chinese language subject. Well at least i'm being paid for what i will be doing but that's not what makes me agree to help her firm. It's her presense and her plea that got me into action. And the next greatest challenge that i thought of is the amount of sleep time i will forsake. No matter what, i feel it's still worth it at least knowing that this will take away some of her burden and adds a smile on her face, i'm contented.

More updates!

2005-06-06T09:08:00.000+08:00

Let's backtrack to last friday. Met up with my princess @ Douby Ghaut then together, we joined the FYPJ gang for dinner. Initially i was very nervous cuz i wasn't really sure if she mixes well with the bunch but it turned out that she could be a PR manager of some big firms..haha..It's been quite some time since the group last met up. Yeah, enjoyed the dinner and stuffs. After dinner Darling got tired so i sent her back.

As usual, soccer training in the morning, took a good nap after that. In the midst of my very sweet dream, someone came in and brought me out, the culprit was Li Guang. Actually it's only his SMS that woke me up. Ya..He informed me about Ivan's 21st birthday party on that day and i went "OMG!" cuz i would be accompanying my sweetheart during her night shift later that night.

Met up with Li Guang and Benny in Orchard and we went to hunt for a gift for Ivan. We had no idea what to get for him then, so we toured the whole of Orchard in hope to find a suitable one but to no avail. Then i got really fed-up so i called Ivan and asked what he wanted and he told me to get a Vodka Absolute. So we went to get it from Paragon supermart. Although that din't make a good gift, it's the heart that count la..among the class of 20 people, less than 10 went leh...can imagine the absense rate..Ya.. the party was indeed very crowded...lots of people, mostly his relatives and friends..his primary sch or sec sch friends were more than the number of people who turned out from Class DBI0211. What a disappointment.. Ya..the food was great and we had a couple of glasses of red wine, played poker cards for a while before ending with the cake-cutting ceremony after which we left for home. I went home and got changed before heading for darling's workplace where we stayed till sunrise. It's been very hard on her for she had to endure the odd working schedule and everytime i think of this, my heart aches a lil..

Sunday was my rest day. Got back home at 7+ in the morn, had a quick wash-up and jumped into bed where i slept till noon. Not much happenings till late afternoon when i met up with my gurl and her friends in orchard for a game of pool and then dinner at Newton Circus. Really enjoyed the dinner but really too bad din't get to eat those BBQed BIG prawns, my baby was setting her eyes on it everytime the uncle sped past us to deliver it to other tables. Maybe we should try that the next time we go there.

Yup..that's all..have to get back to work le..ciaoz!

omg!

2005-06-03T10:33:00.000+08:00

omg! she's soOOOoooo irresistably sweeEeet!!! Almost got diabetes!!!

Update

2005-05-30T11:31:00.000+08:00

Hey guys im back! Still lack of blogging juice due to tight schedule in completing my current project. Well let's start from last week. Not much happenings during the weekdays whereas the weekend is the culprit that drained my energy.

Went for soccer on Saturday morn and went for Jia Pei's wedding dinner that night. Saw some NYP pals and had a good interaction with them. The dinner was hell. 5-pax eating 10-pax share thanks to the absentees. Not even Big Fuck's tactic helps though but i guess it's worth trying la..haha..

Went for filming on sunday as Judy needs some people who plays street soccer, so i decided to help even though i was still a lil' shag after the activities on the previous day. Yup, street soccer, but it's not those kind where u play at the street soccer court, but the one u play on the STREET.

The filming took place at one of the secluded streets behind some office buildings where there are little traffic or rather close to nil. Very fun and cool indeed, and there was a scene whereby there's a one-on-one at the pedestrian crossing!!! Couldn't really think of the danger anyway..cuz the danger's already overcomed by the fun...

well i'm not sure whether it will be broadcasted but i hope it turns out nice..haha..that's all for dee weekends..

not forgetting a big "THANK YOU" to Judy.

Food and snacks, make me FAT!

2005-05-20T12:57:00.000+08:00

Singapore is a well-known "Mei Shi Tian Tang"(Food Galore) and it's not surprising seeing groups of people out there food-hunting. I'm no exception.

The last time i went food-hunting with friends was on last Saturday and it's in Toa Payoh. Well i can say that Toa Payoh really has lots of nice food if you take the effort to hunt them down and now i will not go into the details.

Speaking of food, i've been cutting down on the frequencies of my food-hunt lately due to a build-up of "spare-tire"(tummy) and i believe many people out there have been trying to resist the temptations of the good food. And thinking how am i going to reduce my NS "sufferings" in time to come.

Snacks is another killer here. Life in office never gets away from snacks especially either when u have tonnes of work to do or when u have nothing better to do.

The pix i've taken below shows my daily snacks. Drink is dependant on my preference whereas biscuit is dependant on the pantry aunty's preference on weekly basis. Normally when u get a plain biscuit, you can conclude that she might be having a PMS(dunno whether she can PMS anot..) or she might be buey song(not happy) or whatsoever. Sounds crappy but quite true la..

Below are some of the pix that i've taken during dinner last night at Patara. It's a very classy restaurant and the Tom Yam soup ROX!!!

And in my last post i did mention about wolfberry drink right? Here's the pix..

Speaking of tea, yesterday i received a free Lipton sample at one of the exits of City Hall MRT Station.

Wah...Tie Guan Yin(Iron Buddha) leh..that's the two new varieties that Lipton is introducing. However when i opened up the gift, there was only a packet of Jasmine tea bag. I've already gotten that twice!! and never had any luck in getting the Iron Buddha tea bag. Well i'm just curious how Tie Guan Yin taste like, maybe i could get enlightenment after drinking it?? crap LA...

Lunch break over liao...here's a post on singlish by Mr Brown, as well as Kenny Sia's post on Sing Blog Con

wolf + berry = wolfberry???

2005-05-19T12:54:00.000+08:00

I'm now "enjoying" my lunch that i've just dabao from a nearby cafe. It's pathetic when u dabao your own food back EVERYDAY especially when you are left with no choice. Lunchtime is considered peak period for all eateries and people will be swarming in in groups, therefore lunching alone out there is a strict no-no for me. I hate the way they reserve their seats using a packet of tissue paper or even an umbrella??

#%)*%*#^%#%^*#_%!!!!

Well at least some of the more considerate bunch will select an individual to reserve the seats.

Back to my desk..

I was being informed by my supervisor that our manager will be giving us a dinner treat later today(Grin).

Yesterday i got myself a packet of Wolfberry after being ~~psychoed~~ recommended by the chinese medicine shop aunty that it improves vision. My eyesight has been deteriorating recently and that's the reason why i need that for. Hey i know some of you may be laughing now but it's VERY effective! i had 2 glasses of wolfberry drink in the morning and now not even a babe within 1 Km radius could escape my eyes(evil laughter).

I find the name "wolfberry" funny..cuz i couldn't get any link between the wolf and the wolfberry...it's really hilarious the way u picture it..

No link!!! $%*@$%*@% ah..whatever..maybe ancient wolves ate wolfberries??

The wolfberry drink tastes really good(A mixture of sweet and herbal taste)! Now i know why it taste so much similar to my granny's black chicken soup!! I always mistaken this wolfberry taste for black chicken soup taste, now the truth is out. Don't ever doubt my taste, cuz it's only a mix-up..

My food is almost finished and it's time to get back to my work. URGH!

Back to jail..

Time flies..

2005-05-17T12:06:00.000+08:00

Today marks the second day of the 3rd week of my employment. Yes..it's a miracle..and im still struggling to survive under such harsh condition here in this lab full of PCs and only half filled with human beings. The room temperature here goes as low as 15 degrees celsius and not even the PCs here can stand it!! Maybe it's time to build up more fats?? NO WAY!! NS is drifting nearer and nearer and more fats means hell for me. The other factor that contributes to the harsh condition is the lack of "life". Ever since my attachment friends left on the last day of attachment, the room became very empty. The pictures below shows the illustration.

And everyday i will listen to Akon's song, lonely. The more i listened, the more lonelier i felt. And eventually everyone will go...

and.

and..

and...

and eventually i felt terribly lonely..i was told that the next batch of industrial attachment/internship students from NYP will be coming in in July, which is near to a month after my contact ends in mid-June. That was absurd, i was expecting a new batch joining me right after my industrial attachment/internship when i start my direct employment and everything didn't turn out what i'd expected..i tell myself, "never mind..". I just have to endure another month and finish whatever tasks that i need to finish. At the end of the day, it all goes back to the same phrase that a typical liverpool fan will chant..

yes i know..I'm an optimist you see..I can hear liverpool fans cheering now..haha..I may not be a Liverpool fan but i do wish Liverpool will emerge as a winner in the Champions League final. Well, all the best to Liverpool fans out there. Eh..btw is Sylvester Stallone a fan of Liverpool?? ah. whatever. it's lunch break now and my stomach is complaining.

Refreshed with a brand new look..

2005-05-16T14:51:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, i'm back after missing in action for near to a year.. wahhaha...reason is because im too busy(actually is lazy..haha).. Stay tuned for more actions!
