Oh yea. I have worked for it! (Maybe lucky? XD) I have worked for it, and it came to me!!
Went to Funan, and bought a new laptop with my father. A new laptop for myself.. and I find it awesome. Glossy finish with a nice design!! Woohoo
According to my father, what attracted him was the relatively cheap warranty upgrade. ($200 for extra 2 years, full coverage !!) In addition.. look at all the freebies. Printer, 512MB thumbdrive, mouse... (carrying bag is normal)
But What i like about it.. is its glossy design.
If you are wondering:
Compaq Presario V3137AU
$1399
AMD Turion 64 Mobile Tech [First time I am using AMD]
512KB L2 Cache (2.0 Ghz)
14.1" WXGA display
80GB (5400RPM) HD
512MB DDR2 SDRAM
nVidia GeForce Go 6150 (256MB Shared)
One problem is.. it is very hot.. literally. Use for 1 hr, and the bottom feels darn darn hot. Hopefully it doesnt kill my laptop =)
Anyways.. got to wait for a week. If any problem occurs, send back. Right now no games on my laptop, cuz it can be a trump card for the other retailer XD

Smoky Problem
No. I am not complaining about the haze problem affecting everyone. I am not commenting about the fuzzy thing that is hampering your visibility for the past weeks.
However, imagine that Singapore has a place with a PSI of more than 100? Right in our doorstep? Made by fellow Singaporeans... (for fellow Singaporeans?) The irony is.. it is not made in any CBD areas... but at a temple!
OMGosh. A temple, a Bhuddist temple in fact! Furthurmore.. it is the place where the urns of my great-grandma and my late brother lies!!!
Haiz. You see, the place where all the tablets are is underground. They (the management) do not bother to switch on any appliances to help "suck" incense smoke out, let alone circulate the air.
So the result?
A place.. (roughly the land area of my house) which is cloudy (almost cloudy.. to my expense) inside. Spend 10 seconds inside and your eyes will start stinging, for me at least. But even then, I think those wearing contacts (contact lenses) will die(not literally), imagine all the smoke particles stuck in between the lenses and the eye??!
anyways... if you are wondering why I am there. Well, there for my great-grandma's death anniversary (not sure if 1 or 2 yrs), and also to visit my brother, over whom i almost shd tears.

The world is in fear
Read the book "State of Fear", by Michael Crichton.
GodDam*** .. its darn nice. Just finished it in 2 days. 500+ pages only..
It shows certain things which are very interesting to note.. hmm
And the title has almost no relation to the story.. but it holds a very very powerful meaning.
Spoiler:
This book is about environmental effects. Some action. But the main part.. if you want
1) pages 451-460
2) pages 477-490
there..
Law & Order in the world is run by introducing fear.
What humans do, are instead affecting the earth due to his selfish desires.
think about it.

Food for Thought
Oh yea. Cooking aint that bad as you might think!
Somehow, I got inspiration to cook, haha. Been watching some cooking shows during the holidays, saw how juicy and tasty the masterpieces were...
So I decided to cook some stuff.. haha .
First step was an egg. Normal chicky egg, fry with oil and all those.
Then, I decided to make my debut food , haha.
Presenting...
Presenting.....
Cabbage-wrapped chicken in oyster sauce!
Yea. the picture looks tantalising.. doesnt it ? haha..
Well, I got the "inspiration" when I was given some meat, and remembered buying some cabbage for soup. Then, seeing how big the leaves were... I decided. to wrap it up! .. So that's the main part.
AFter that, I remembered that cabbage is plain, so a sauce was created.
Oyster sauce, soya sauce, brown sugar, corn flour.. all champo together to form a nice sauce.
I poured the sauce over the dish after it was cooked, and let it stand for a while. THen, the sauce was HEAVEN! Put it on plain rice.. you can taste the essence of cabbage, the sweet taste of the oyster sauce! OMG.. its just soo nice..
However, the cabbage keep coming out .. haha. I guess I didnt cook well enough..
SO yea.. these are some pictures =) ..
may be a bit blur though.. taken in haste!

After a long hurdle...
Oh yea. 2 more days. Chinese Composition. My last, most difficult, most imba challenge I have to take. Chinese, my weakest subject and language, and now I have to do composition! (Irony right? I am a Chinese)
But its ok. Tommorrow, I shall mug. Seriously read read read. At least for 3,4 hours. I must make this a success. I started the examinations poorly, with a supposedly bad performance in the Chinese Paper 2. Hopefully I can end this examinations with a confident heart. I Know I will be a no-lifer, but who cares. Just for that 3 hours, then its finished. Finished !! OH YEA !!
Ok. So. Good luck to everyone. Just 2 more days.

A wider circle of friends... hopefully
Cool, I just opened up my "territory" by 50% .. haha.
I just learnt of a Sec 3 Hwachong fella somewhere near my neighbourhood. We walk home everyday, although we spilt after a while, and we chat alot. Haha. Well, gd friends!
Today, just went to play with him, and his friends. You see, he live near a park, which is flanked and surrounded by rows of houses. Most of the youngsters, children and teenagers of these houses, (according to him) pour out during the late afternoon to have fun. For my case, I was greeted with a silence park, prolly due to the examinations? Haha. How I was rejoicing! But after a while, I found myself playing with 5,6 more people. Hopefully I can form friendship bonds with them, and therefore increase my circle of friends.
Somehow I felt that I have missed out on alot during my 5-year stay here in Faber Crest.

I can see the sky..
Yea. The PSI index dropped dramatically into the safety zone! Ole.... ole..
Hopefully this temporary relief from all that "fog" will last throughout the whole day. Darn. yesterday was one of the worst days ever.

Anyways, exams again. 2 more days. Counting down. My parents are pushing me harder and harder. Tey want me to read, I dun want to read... although I know they meant well. But please.. its boring !! aargh.. Maybe this is why my Chinese is so bad.. A double-edged sword huh? I suck at Chinese, so I dun want to read, which makes me suck even more? . ok.. I get it.. I shall try and read some after this post.
O_O I am actually motivated by my own post? haha.. well nvm I shant crap anymore. just realised this post is all crap. But I will still go and read.. RIGHT after this.
yea, thank you guys for reading my blog .. yea i know it aint nice/flashy/beautiful and what not.. but I think I shall keep posting =) .. haha. after exams should be able.. Just cannot wait WAIT WAIT !!
