The letter has finally arrived

I’ve finally received a letter from the government notifying me to join their them for the next 2years as part of their organisation. Its a letter every Singaporean man will receive, its just a matter of time. The days left for me to surrender my pink Identification Card (IC) is starting to be lesser and lesser, thus if you had notice the right navigation column, I’ve added a countdown script towards my date of enlistment.

This countdown script is for me to take note of the remaining time left to enjoy the days with my pink IC, and for my friends to treasure their time with me before I officially surrender my IC.

A surprising call

I’ve received a surprising call from a local artist grooming company today:

Them: "Hi, can I speak to Lim Tian Xiang?"
Me: "Hi, speaking.."
Them: "This is ______ calling from <their-company-name>. You’ve been recommended by someone for performing arts. "
Me: "Arts? Web design?
Them: "Not web design, but acting, singing and dancing. We’ll prepare you for local competitions."
Me: "Huh? so who recommended me!?"
Them: "Don’t know.. it was submitted by an Anonymous user.."
Me: "Er… I am not sure if I can do it.."
Them: "I am just calling you to check if you are interested?"
(Sounds interesting..)
Them: "Basically we are an artist grooming company, we’ve successfully groomed <some-great-new-artist> featuring in a local drama which ended recently. We’re not asking you to quit your current job now or what, we just want to see if you’re interested and see how you can be part of us.."
Me: "hmm.. alright.."
Them: "So, do you have any experiences in acting/singing/dancing before or a portfolio of your talent?"
Me: "Never!"
Them: "Nevermind, can you come down to our office someday and have a short little interview?"
Me: "I wouldn’t mind.."

And then we set the time and it is confirmed I am going down for that interview.

Then, the question now is.. who’s that person who sabotaged me!?? ADMIT IT PLEASE! Was it meant to be a prank on me or what!?

Honda Eclix

My dad bought me out to the Turf City for a short car sighting; we saw a very nice car a few days back and we were wondering about the price and wanted to have a feel of it so we went there. The car is "Honda Eclix", a parrallel import vehicle and the price for it was rather high; SGD74,000 without leather seats, tinted window, vcool, sports rim and 6-cd mp3 player. Here’s a preview of how the car looks like:

Looks rather funny right? 3seaters by the front? Its probably the first car that has been approved by the LTA to have 3seats by the front and a total of 5 passengers (excluding driver) are allowed!

Philbert’s Philosophy

Philbert shared his great philosophy about life a few days back with me which kept me thinking for the past few days thinking what life is about.

He said:

Life is all about deception; you either get deceived or you deceive people.

Why did people even have to deceive in the first place when they never did anything wrong? For a good cause or bad cause? Is being honest so hard? Or does it cheer them up to see others panicking? Its just so fucked up.

And its not that I want to be deceived; the problem is that if people want to deceive me, there’s nothing I CAN DO about it. I don’t have to tear up their lies and point them out directly to them because I am really numb to it. The liars have conscience too and their conscience will eat them up soon (Conscience does exist for humans).. I just feel that its better for them to tell me the truth instead of finding the truth myself anymore..

From alot of things I’m seeing now, everyone’s deceiving one another and the worse of all, they deceived themself just like me =/

Update: Sunny said he has mentioned it to me 2years ago. He added that (Alright he has disconnected from the Internet and it shall be continued tomorrow because I am going to bed too…)

Bu Xiang Rang Ni Zhi Dao

周蕙 – 不想让你知道

忽然不想让你知道
在我心中
你多重要
既然你要自由
你就得到
让你永远都记得我好
你的爱我已经戒不掉
就让思念淹没
我不想逃
反正你将永远不知道
今夜星光多美好
适合用寂寞去品调
我们曾用爱互相依靠
付出多少不用计较
想一个人多美好
就算只剩记忆可参考
被爱放逐到天涯海角
我的思念你不用都知道
直到有天你我年老
回忆随着白发风中闪耀
至少我清清楚楚知道
你若想起我会微笑

This song is nice.. and I am just recommending it =) (not particularly for anyone else!)

Notebook Serviced

I can see that smug look from the sky; the heaven’s mocking at me.. they rain everyday and makes me feel warmer than before. I’m upset by it.

Nevertheless, its always the saying "Life goes on".. I got myself sunburnt yesterday standing below the sun and I’m feeling alittle pain on my shoulders. And hearing that there were not many agenda to fulfill today, I suggested my Dad to drive me to Acer’s Service Center to get my notebook serviced because 1 of its USB port was loose and my notebook only has 2 USB ports! I’ve already delayed the servicing for half-a-year already and the warranty is expiring soon!

If you think that Acer is just using their "2 hours instant repair" as a marketing gimmicks, I shall correct you now; you are wrong. They service every single customer’s notebook on the spot and they can finish the repair in 2hours most of the time! I am pretty amazed by it, so much for the bad comments I’ve heard about it =( Seeing is indeed believing!

Painting in the rain

Imagine yourself painting a wall in the rain and see the drops of rain clearing away the colors you have painted; it aches and waste your paint doesn’t it? Then, you have to start from scratch again as the paint has been washed off and its hard to apply the paint as the surface is too wet.

Try doing this yourself, you’ll learn the art of patience =). Remember, patience is a virtue!

Kallang Rally Racing

So I saw in the newspaper advertisement that there will be a rally racing in Kallang Stadium today and I went with BingLin and Peter, the car enthusiasts.

And something bad happened to me; My favourite shade which I bought in Bangkok fell flew off when I was on BingLin’s bike. Needless to say, I am still very upset about it right now =/

The racing was boring because the cars seem normal and nothing spectacular was done (Not that I can DO BETTER, but just that I was expecting something alot more better). Needless to say, the drifting performance by the professionals were the most eye-catchy out of the whole event. Check this out:

I spent the past 1.5 hour driving around finding something which I thought would be nice. I am getting tired, I should just go to bed.

The most un-happening April’s Fool

The day was so boring.. I didn’t know it was April’s Fool day until 11+.. And there’s no much prank to play around with. But still, Happy April Fool’s Day! Hope you enjoyed being fooled =X

And I’m getting frequent headaches out from nowhere today. Arghh. Damn it. And I can feel that some major sickness will be coming to me soon. Mum refuses to let me consume Panadol and warned me to see a doctor. "Mum its the first time I am having a headache in this year! Can you don’t be so paranoid about it?"

But I still went out with the group to Katong to eat the "man jiang mian".. some kinda minced pork noodle with lots of cucumber strips.

And we did wanted to go for a KTV because Mr Yee Bing Lin is gona be a private clerk (ops!) in the army 2days later.. LOL! But the KTV was fully booked until 12.30am so we abandoned the thoughts and went to Parkway for pool instead.

That summarises everything for today!
