Some gd some bad. But whatever it is, you'll just hv to take in your stride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The emotional turmoil that I hv within myself for the past 2 mths hv been unbearable. Never had I imagined that the saying abt the closest people can be your worst enemy is just so absolutely true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7 yrs of my life I've dedicated to U, with my goal to always ensure that you hv a source of happiness and security when all other sources bring you down. Never hv I once expected any returns from you. But hw things ended was just simply unbelievable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole time that I thought I knew U inside out turned out to be but a lie. Never had I imagined that U'd do what U did to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My congratulations to you for having found the love of your life within 9 days of our break up. But it doen't mean that you can lie through your teeth bout your status for that whole mth of Aug, esp on my birthday. If you had taken the time to tell me the truth abt ur true status since the 5th of that mth, my perception of you wldn't hv changed at all.. Which was to see U as a truthfull, brave and respectable being to hv made the confession as I know that it is a hard thing to do at that point of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But No... for a person who claims that she knows what she is doing, U decide to lie and cheat to a person who has been nothing but understanding to U throughout that 7 yrs. What did i do to you tht U were willing to lie bout it? I'm not angry bout U being with him.. I'm devastated that U had to LIE to me abt it. And to be STUPID enough to write in on ur blog w/o me finding out was just a 'touch of class'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't help that the explanation U've given to me (ALL through SMS... show some sincerity girl) was that U were scared and you preferred me finding out for myself so that I can hate you and eventually forget U. This is what I get from someone who claims I am the best tht she's ever had??!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were more spoken abt her so called 'true feelings' for me, which at that point in time meant nothing to me. My whole world came crashing down. Never had i thought that you were capable of such things. Never had I thought you wld do that to me. Many a times I've told you, If you were attach, do tell me the truth as that's the least tht I deserve after having gone through so much...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, the true colours hv come soaring out. I hv never felt so stupid and cheated in my whole entire life. And to think that on my birthday you were already with him and yet you lied to me abt it again..  And the 2 outings we supposedly planned.. U cancelled due to your commitments to school and your inability to go out as you had kenduri the nxt day. Only to find out that you were out with him. LIES LIES LIES!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How did it all come to this?! The break up was already painful for me to bear and by doing this to me just makes U inhumane... I mean Shit to U don't I... Not even a sincere apology from U...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad thing is all of this cld hv been prevented... I hv already told U.. Once it ends i stand to lose so much than U... U don't hv to go through all that trouble to ensure that my heart dies bcoz it had already had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The impact that all these hv on me is very visible for everyone to see. I look anorexic.. But with the support of my family and friends, I feel better....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This broken soul will cont to leave life as gd as it comes. Everyday's a struggle but it'll only get better in time. No more posts in the time to come...

HeHe... Ah... Times like these I really miss school. Work has been hectic and tiring but surprisingly hasn't come to the point where I dread going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life has been routine. Waking up at 6.15am, going out at 7.15 or 7.30. Reaching the workplace at 8.20am and knocking off at ard 7pm latest. This happens 5 days in a week. That sums up the lives of majority of working Singaporeans. Life seriously is routine here and I'm the kind that gets bored easily so go figure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the boredom, i make it a must to spend my off days doing things that I find most fulfilling. And what is that you might ask? Well let me share the latest activity that you guys might want to try. PRAWN FISHING... Yes ppl.. fishing of prawns. Hey don't think it's as easy as grabbing a net and just scooping a load and bringing it home. The prawns are huge and you literally have to fish, as in using a rod and bait, to catch the prawn. Like fishing, it sux when you don't catch any but it's thrilling when you actually catch one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So maybe you ppl might want to consider trying it. PS: Not recommended for whose butts can't stay sitted for long periods of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right... That's it....

Thank goodness all that patience was worth it but some people just had to spoil it saying the job is a rather painful one. Highlights the fact that not everyone wants to see you succeed. But care not, only 1 person knows how difficult things have been for me and U know how ecstatic I was when I got the job offer. I have to admit that the work is challenging but which work ain't...  I'm happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on...  As the title implies,  I'm  stuck in a rather complicated situation. I'm stuck in a situation where I am taking a huge gamble with my happiness. Nothing's guranteed and I might again be left hanging high and dry. All this because of LOVE. Hmm.. how lame can I be... I'm not sure if this is what I want but I am definitely sure that I love U.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I wish is for me to be happy. No more sulking, emo-ing and being angry all the time. And definitely no more being a worrier. It's exhausting... Who knows... In this period of being single yet unavailable, I might meet someone who is right for me...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-7152301064664401209?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/7152301064664401209/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=7152301064664401209' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/7152301064664401209'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/7152301064664401209'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2008/04/stuck-in-reverse.html' title='Stuck In Reverse'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-7515990962575536587</id><published>2007-09-24T23:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-09-25T00:24:38.927+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lonely</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;Lonely&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Empty... That's how I've been feeling lately... I'm at a lost to where my life is going. Many things have been happening lately but I'm not in the mood to lay it all out. But one thing's for sure, I anticipate that there'll be one less person in my life soon. It's going to have a huge impact in my life for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just don't get it. There's this saying that in one's life people come and go while some stay... But at this point in time, I've just come to a realisation that my life has definitely more people going and little of those who enter or stay.

Something's buggin me... Here's a question for you people out there. If your partner decides to celebrate his/her birthday with his/her friends, what would be your reaction? Rationalise...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean on one hand it is your partner's special day and he/she has got every right to decide with whom he/she would want to spend it.... rite? On the other hand, a person would usually want to celebrate THE day with the person who matters most (ie. bf/gf)... Rite? So what does it mean than if your partner chooses to celebrate with his/her mates over you? I mean in the first place, is it really an issue?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being the ever so understanding person, I've excepted the decision U made of spending your birthday with your friends. But as of now, I somewhat feel STUPID. Why is that? Should I have disagreed with UR decision? I was disappointed but U were so happy that I couldn't bear to disagree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheesh... I don't know. Clueless... Just like the title... People who may be reading... Please... enlighten me through the tagboard on your left...

HeHe.. I guess we just wanted to try out new cuisines and what best than going Mediterranean. My sis told me of this cafe her bf had introduced and it sat at the quiet corner of Haji Lane. I knew nuts about the place and really wanted to find out more so decided to find the place. Oh... the place is called Mosi Cafe by the way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess you sheesha lovers will be more or less familiar by the area along Bali and Haji lane. I've personally only recently discovered how cool that area was. It's a wonderful place where the old school and new are fused together. Along the rows of shophouses you can chance upon pubs, cafes, ice-cream parlour and abundance of places to eat. Turkish and egyptian restaurants can be found aound the area. You may feel intimidated to walk in and have a look as the shops occupy only a small space but the colours, furniture and turkish/egyptian songs played just seem to call out to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've tried the food at Mosi cafe and it's splendid. They offer a variety of sandwhiches, whose serving is big enough for 2! Hehe.. I really enjoyed the ambience of the place. It may not look like ur Starbucks, Coffee Bean or what have you.. But I just enjoy the simplicity of it all. The owner is very hospitable. He even recognised that I was a new customer... That just goes to show the effort he's put in to remember the regulars. Now that's what I call service...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently on Saturday, U and me dropped by the area again and this time we tried the food at Al Tazzaq. Not quite sure if it was Arabic or Turkish... Well we tried this meat platter which costs us $20.. Yes i know it's ex... But I had to try... HeHe.. The platter was made up of beef, mutton and chicken meat which were covered by a spicy sour sauce. Typically... we couldn't finish it... And after that dish, I can't stand the sight of MEAT again!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HeHe.. No matter.. Both outings were really enjoyable and satisfying. There's no doubt that I've found my new favourite place in Haji Lane.... =X&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-4551593063987571151?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/4551593063987571151/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=4551593063987571151' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/4551593063987571151'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/4551593063987571151'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2007/03/sweet-findings-at-haji-lane.html' title='SwEEt FindingS aT Haji Lane'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-8057523409700241741</id><published>2007-03-06T22:49:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-22T17:36:36.463+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Long OverDue</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;Long OverDue&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Met up with my poly mates last Friday.

In laymen's terms, I'm basically jobless... still... I'm at my witz ends trying to find a job. I've gone through interviews and it usually ends up either feeling unimpressed with the job/company or depressed coz I didn't get that all important call saying "Congratulations you're hired!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all those students out there, please listen and belief it when your teachers tell you that it's hard to find a job. I mean, Singapore's economy's booming and there are a lot of jobs out there but it's still hard for me to find one. Makes me wonder how tough it was when we had a recession back in 98. Anyways....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm friggin bored. Can anyone tell... Hehe.. My daily routine has been checkin my emails, looking at classifieds, mailing my resumes, running on the threadmill (is this how u spell it?), watching tv (tonnes of it) and sleeping. Life of a slacker in all its glory... I really enjoyed living the slacker life for awhile... but when boredom sets in.. Sheesh.. I need a Job!!! Hopefully there'll be good news the next time I post..

I have busybodies as relatives, especially on my dad's side. But I didn't expect my cousin to be one too. She's the same age as me and I know her mum is one of those busybodies but I didn't expect her to start that early.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know Im jobless right now and but I'm still active in my job search. I mean it's not like I'm not doing anything bout the situation. This issue of me finding a job has been hovering about since last year. My aunty kept asking me when I'm going to work, bearing in mind  that I was still in Uni (busy studying) at the time. Then now, having just completed Uni, my cousin has joined the bandwagon... but she's been doin it rather 'discreetly'. She would at times chat with my little sis and lately has been asking her, "Iqa, Kak Alin dah dapat kerje?"... "Dia dah pegi interview?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I guess she grew tired of asking the same question and getting the same answer every time... which is 'NO'.. She began to question my sister, "How you know she haven't gone for interview?". My little sis gave a thumbs-up answer (she's 8 yrs old by the way), "She's my sister! Of course lah I know." HeHe... Clever right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing is, why oh why must such people feel the need to know?How do they gain from knowing? What good will come of it? There's a saying... A busybody IS ALWAYS malevolent... Maybe it's true but I think in some instances it's not. In my cousin's case, she's competitve and won't be able to take it if I went one better than her.. She'll go NUTS I tell you... But I really don't see why she should bother. She's working and is attached to a rich guy (husband-to-be). She can be a taitai for all I care... it doesnt bother me. I don't have any interest in her life. I just don't get it why people are interested in mine... My life ain't interesting...

Back from Bangkok  barely 3 days ago and I'm sick. Down with flu yet again. My immune system just ain't strong I tell you. Anyways my first trip to Bangkok was great. Shopping heaven I tell you, however much more so for gals than guys. That explains the many bags my gal pals brought back from the trip. For guys, the abundance availability of fun tees and jeans just make it impossible to not shop. I was on a rather tight budget so didn't shop much but that ain't the case for my bro who accompanied me on the trip. By the way, tut tut rocks lah The way they are driven just make other drivers crin ge at the end of their seat! &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_afguK6XSxuw/RaJqGUAZaAI/AAAAAAAAAAo/LTJk4JNvMzE/s1600-h/gang.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_afguK6XSxuw/RaJqGUAZaAI/AAAAAAAAAAo/LTJk4JNvMzE/s200/gang.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5017689591526287362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  If I were to drive there god knows how many times I'll need to check my blindspot! The ride's just  AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An issue there though was food. Halal food is difficult to find. Well it's just my 1st trip there so maybe my unfamiliarity with the place made it so. Therefore me and my bro gorged on the many cup noodles that we brought along and seafood. I'm now sick of both.... Hey you would be too if you had the same meal for 5 days straight.          &lt;br /&gt; &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_afguK6XSxuw/RaJsrEAZaEI/AAAAAAAAABI/l5CQ9eK_eKg/s1600-h/icecream2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_afguK6XSxuw/RaJsrEAZaEI/AAAAAAAAABI/l5CQ9eK_eKg/s200/icecream2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5017692421909735490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_afguK6XSxuw/RaJsa0AZaDI/AAAAAAAAABA/FydbBAT5log/s1600-h/icecream.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 139px; height: 186px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_afguK6XSxuw/RaJsa0AZaDI/AAAAAAAAABA/FydbBAT5log/s200/icecream.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5017692142736861234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;     &lt;h3 style="text-align: left; font-weight: normal; font-family: times new roman; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Thai Ice-cream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: left; font-weight: normal; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;We came back on the 31st of December...

I'm a BIG worrier! I worry too much, and this I feel is a major weakness of mine. Being a worrier irritates the hell out of me. I'm a procrastinator. An example, my mum told me that a friend of hers needs a temp worker doing mostly admin jobs. I know this friend of hers, in fact I idolize her. Long story short, I envy her achievements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, the job's only 2 mnths and the pay isn't that bad. In fact, it'll really look good on my resume. The pros really outweigh the cons in taking this job but I'm scared. I'm a freshgraduate and I'm really raw at doing actual work.. 'Work' as in an actual job... So i'm quite .. no in fact I'm very insecure about the knowledge, skills and abilities that I can impart on the job. I'm really scared of doing things wrongly; making mistakes but being much aware that that's the way people learn... through mistakes. I procrastinate and procratinate some more and I'm getting tired of it. I've already decided though that I'll take up the job despite my mind and heart are still in conflict. I just feel that I HAVE to make this step coz if i don't I won't learn and there the same opportunity may not come knocking twice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this job goes well and no doubt it'll  be a good working experience... =X&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-8029034300768729839?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/8029034300768729839/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=8029034300768729839' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/8029034300768729839'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/8029034300768729839'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2006/12/worry-gives-small-thing-big-shadow.html' title='Worry gives a small thing a big shadow.'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-3101742063024625841</id><published>2006-12-18T10:57:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-18T11:45:21.768+08:00</updated><title type='text'>“Will you still need me,will you still feed me..When I'm sixty-four?”</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt; “Will you still need me,will you still feed me..When I'm sixty-four?”&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The creation and existence of PunkieNetta has reached its 6th year on the 16th of this month.  It's simply wonderful and everytime we celebrated our anniversary, I'm just proud that WE lasted for so long. Trust me when I say we went through several tough times and had a rocky and tricky phase at one time too but amazingly, we survived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such events just make anniversaries so much special. They reflect the commitment 2 parties are willing to put into or even.. save the relationship. But again such sacrifices and effort impacts harder when the time comes to let go... I fear this coz right now if and when it happens I might just break down. So yes.... I'm an oxymoron... On one hand anniversaries to me reflect love and a celebration oh so meaningful but on the other, the longer you're together the harder it is to let go...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well.. not wanting to divert away from the significance of this relationship to me... We had a blast that day. I got the car for the day and presented her with a bear bouquet. We then went SHOPPING! U got for me a Quicksilver polo while U got your ripcurl bag and Guess? wallet.... Had dinner at fig and olive and ended the night with neoprint! HeHe... It's been a very long time since I had taken one but obviously U were more pro than me HAhA... Had great fun... Thanx dear for a fabolous time... I certainly hope there'll be more to come... =x&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-3101742063024625841?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/3101742063024625841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=3101742063024625841' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/3101742063024625841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/3101742063024625841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2006/12/will-you-still-need-mewill-you-still.html' title='“Will you still need me,will you still feed me..When I&apos;m sixty-four?”'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-3738951319957364187</id><published>2006-12-07T00:08:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-07T00:29:05.882+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I MADE IT!</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt; I MADE IT!&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I passed all of my papers!

If you would have told me that I'd get my degree 10 years ago, I'd just laugh off the idea. It's so surreal and I'm just living in the moment. Except for my love ones, nobody, and I mean NOBODY, had any idea how tough it was for me to get to where i am now. Many a time I just felt like quitting... Seriously... I just felt like I'm not cut out for Uni but still I just persisted and it paid off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I have to say.... my grades aren't that great. But U and my mum reminded me of my achievement in not having to repeat any of my modules and the fact that at times you just have to be grateful and thankful for what you have achieved so far. True...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for my future plans, work of course... And if possible, with 3 years of working experience under my belt, I might pursue my Masters... My goodness... I can't even believe I'm saying it.. 'Masters'... Hmmm... like i said.. I'm still on cloud 9... Bear with it..

I know I've been MIA for quite a while.. But finally, everything's done. Exams, projects, late nights mugging... ALL OVER... But the nightmare hasn't ended yet.. My exam results will be out in early December. In the mean time, I've been slacking.. Doin nothing much and that includes  watching half a dozen  dvds,  window shopped at Vivocity and  sleeping. I'm getting bored though. Funny how when you're busy you'd look forward to getting everything over and done with whilst when you're too free, you wished you had something to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As have been mentioned, I'm freakin free so had spent loads of time watching tv. An interesting trend has been developing recently.. Boybands are back.. the old ones especially. As I'm typing this Take That is on tv... That's right... They've released a new album but still without Robbie though, that Smart Ars*. On Mtv there's a reality show called the return of the boyband.... It just seems pathetic you know... Such stints just smell of desperation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on... Oh yeah... Will be having a BBQ on the 25th.. Only close friends are invited. Well I wanted it to a be a small affair coz it's been awile since i went to any similar events so decided to hold one myself. After which, on the 9th of December, I'll be leaving for KL. Family vacation... Gosh I hope there'll be stuff to buy coz the last visit, I didn't shop much... BORING...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry guys for the random post but it's been awhile and today I just felt like penning (or should I be saying typing) down my thougts.. Right... Happy Holidays to all and have a good one.. YOU HEAR?! HeHe...

Yipee!! 2 more datelines to meet before the exams in October.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent the whole day sleeping today. Catching up on my sleep.. Have been deprived of it lately. I'm still tired though but plan to stay awake for Champions League later at 2.30 am. Man Utd vs Benfica. It's time for revenge... HeHe.. My team lost the other time around so they better go out there and kick some butt... UNITED!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok crapping... What's coming up for the upcoming weeks? Well.. Being the fasting month and all, I've plans to break fast with U and maybe shall meet up with some old mates. Otherwise, will be painting the house and prepare for my FINAL EXAMS...

Every time a bung walks past our table, my classmates (of both genders and who are obviously homophobic) started saying, "Oh what a pity!"... "Why must they be like that?" and then followed by lots of "EEEeeeeee!"... Arhm honestly, these people dun need your pity nor do they appreciate your feeling of disgust. For goodness sake, they just walked past and they dun even know you... Let it go... Wat got them EEeeeing was base more on their thoughts about the se*ual aspect of it. They then continued to ask things like Why they become like that? What makes them like ppl from the same s*x? What's wrong with these people? This obviously indicates them being absolutely clueless abt this kind of thing... So why be so judgemental?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's true that it's part of the human nature to feel weird or awkward abt things outside the social norm but there's no need to over react right? I was surprised by their reactions as I didn't expect them to be that narrow minded. Perceptions I have about my 'schoolmates', have changed drastically.

After 5 days of deliberating, we've decided on China... And mind you we had to come up with criterias as explanation to why we chose that country in the 1st place. Damn tedious lah! Now what I'm busy with is evaluating on 3 main cities of China.. Yes people... We have to choose a state now.. That means going through the whole explanation process AGAIN! Which means MORE WORK..

The new season has begun! What a kick start my team had. Ok for y'all slowmos... I love Man Utd. So many punters have dismissed their title chances already... But after 2 matches with great results.. Possibilities of them getting their nose bleed real bad are practically high! Ok Ok.. I noe I'm biased but i just can't help it.. I got to admit, it's still too early in the season but You've just got to be impress with the start my team's had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right.. moving on.. I have been real busy with projects however didn't expect to have a break today. I finished this group assignment and surprisingly finished it way early than expected. No plans to go out though. Need to rest before facing another hectic week. However, I do have plans for tomorow. Hei.. it's Saturday.. Got to have a social life as well rite.. Will be spending it with U.. who else.. There's no one I'd rather spend the day with. We haven't been meeting lately coz of your exams and all but I simply can't wait for tomorow. And the best way to end a Saturday is a football match.... HeHe.. yeah... Weekends aren't a bore now... not yet that is..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok..thatz it.. Oh yeah..

Things to share get less and less as the years pass by. It then gets tiresome... What do you do? My phone conversations with you are freaking boring. I have to dig deep everytime and it gets to the point such that topics being talked about are frequently repeated. You've made this point too... About me talking about the same things. To me there's no effort on your part to keep the conversations alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To deal with the matter... we've decided to only talk when necessary. Sounds pathetic but you seemed OK with it so fine by me.. The solution's not good enough but I'm willing to give it a try so we'll see where it'll all head to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We seem to argue about the same things. It gets me wondering if it's me who is too demanding. I fear that my past has come back to haunt me. The signs are there.. I felt the same way as I did in the old days.

It's times like this where I just wonder where would I be without U.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to play pool after so long. Have to admit I was bloody rusty. Took us practically 1  hour to finish  4  sets.  That's slow people! He He...  But enjoyed myself tremendously. We then proceeded to Seoul Garden at Ngee Ann City and had a feast. It was on me by the way.. HeHe.. Got damn bloated after that... Headed home contented...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah.. that was it.. Simple huh? But I'm all for it... Coz U were with me throughout.

I like it though... HeHe.. But that itchy feeling in both my nose and throat really irritates the hell out of me. I'll survive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the Bangkok trip is confirmed. The air tickets and hotel bookings have been done and I simply can't wait. It's my first trip there... Cool.. Anways, I just realised that I'll be coming back on New Year's Eve which is coincidentally Hari Raya Haji as well. But I don't think my parents have any idea about it.. HeHe.. Well I won't be missing much as usually visits will be to my grandma's and grandaunt's house only. Supposedly I'll be arriving back at around 10pm that day so I guess I'll be dead tired by then for any NYE or Hari Raya Haji celebrations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;School, on the other hand, is starting to get busy. I'm left with 2 more months of school before I graduate. Damn time flies by fast. Project deadlines are coming thick and fast but to tell you the truth, I'm still lazy. Tha brain and hands feel so heavy when I want to start on my assignments. Sheesh... I really want to get it over and done with...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess I'll end here.

But if you already know your schedule and roughly gauge the things you have to do, there's no reason for it to happen.

The irony...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a happier note, my Uni mates have been discussing of a trip to Bangkok in December! I simply can't wait! It's just a trip taken in celebration of our graduation.  Initially my course was suppose to have this trip to Melbourne but it was cancelled and we're all kind of sore about it so one of my mates organised this trip and we're all hoping that we'll just breeze through this semester...

It said 'take it as if you're born to give and they to receive; it'll make your life much easier'. Never have I heard a quote so true... In fact, I embace it. I've always thought that the give and take theory is fair but realistically how often have you given and how much have you received? Personally for me, I feel that I've given more. It's not that I'm insincere in my act of giving but acknowledgment and appreciation is all I need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've given my time, care and patience to many people in my life. I give and I give and I give some more. What I got in return was a lot of shi**ty  attitude,  lies and an uncountable number of ungrateful people. However despite the bad experiences, I'm still giving... I don't know... It's just in my nature to give. Anything from gifts, a listening ear blah blah etc... It feels good to give ya know.. I have my limits of course but the unfair treatment I get makes me frustrated.

A close friend just got married. We knew each other since primary school and coincedentally entered the same secondary school upon graduation. Shared a lot of fun times together and now she's married. Took lots of pictures for keepsake... The wedding was a simple affair but the 'kompang' group made it interesting. The food was brilliant, on both days, and it was a great time to meet some old friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess the only complain I had was the 'Mak Andam'. My friends made a lot of fuss about her. She didn't allow anyone in the room while my friend had her make up done due to some superstition. It's not that we were busybodies but my friend wanted her close friends by her side on her big day. Well obviously the poor girl was left alone to get herself together... But things got on just fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look see:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/1600/DSCN1408.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/200/DSCN1408.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/1600/DSCN1366.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/200/DSCN1366.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/1600/DSCN1364.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/200/DSCN1364.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/1600/DSCN1400.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/200/DSCN1400.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/1600/DSCN1397.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/200/DSCN1397.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-115078951157109759?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/115078951157109759/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=115078951157109759' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/115078951157109759'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/115078951157109759'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2006/06/congratulations.html' title='CongratulationS'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-115036641081590010</id><published>2006-06-15T17:55:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-15T18:21:41.696+08:00</updated><title type='text'>BabY HaziQ</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;BabY HaziQ&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would like to introduce everyone to a new family member...

Got t&lt;font&gt;o celebrate your birthday and went on a neoprint frenzy.. HeHe.. It didn't matter the celebrati&lt;font&gt;on was belated but it did feel funny at first. Like you said, we normally spend the actual day together but&lt;font&gt; no matter, it was your day and you have every right to decide how you want to spend it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font&gt;Gave U a treat at the 2 Hot Halal Cafe at the Esplanade. Not to be a critic but the serving is too small for my liking. I have no qualms bout the taste though.. The food tasted great but was just bothered by the size of the serving and the price. I guess the restaurant is really making use of it's location... located along the 'colours by the bay' area... a hotspot fo&lt;font&gt;r both locals and tourists with a splendid view. No matter... moving on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later on, we shopped at Marina and U got yourself 3 bangles! They were of nice colours too.. red, green and blue respectively. And to round things off.. Dropped by Heeren and she just couldn't resist buying the strawberry shortcake highlighter and pen.. HeHe.. Damn cute.. Really liked that expression on your face when you saw all the strawberry shortcake stuff on sale.

I was a nervous wreck the whole day. I predicted that I was going to fail 2 modules but when I logged onto the student portal, a pleasent surprise awaited me. Not only did I pass all but I had my first HD (high distinction) for my marketing module as well as a DI (distinction) for leadership &amp;amp; mgt... double happiness. This sem's results, by far, has been my best. It was truly unexpected while at the same time gave me hope that I will graduate from uni after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last semester will begin in 3 weeks. Still have that individual reflection to finish up, otherwise I'll be free. I'm very hopeful for the upcoming sem and maybe, just maybe, I'd do even better.

Thinking bout lots of things. From my studies to my future. Honestly, I'm afraid. I worry for my results, on whether I'll find a good job, lovelife.... so many other stuff. My mind is whirling and I just can't get these thoughts out of my system. Making me worry uneccessarily... It's freakin irritating!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can I stop all this worrying and feeling of insecurity? Is there something really wrong with me? Why am I worrying so much? Questions questions questions... That's all I have and seldom do the answers come along. I've actually just came back from KL.. Thought the trip would do me some good.. To clear my mind.. Well.. it didn't. I couldn't sleep well. Tossed and turned repeatedly. Felt restless...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these restlessness led to an argument with U. As I'm typing this post, I'm recalling back the things we've shared. I'm really sorry for pushing the blame on you all this while. I really don't know what's wrong but this nagging feeling of being unhappy has really been affecting me. I am so sorry for causing you to be upset.. especially knowing the amount of pressure you're under from all the projects and upcoming papers you have. Looks like I've failed real bad on being the one you can count on. I seem to be that irritating black spot in your life that frequetly adds on to your burden. I'm real sorry for having been useless lately. Sincerely I apologise...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure when you'll be reading this but I want to extend my deepest, sincerest apology to you. U..

She still has that fugly, a**holic face which seemed to have grown fatter. Must be from all the porkchops she's had over the years. She looked like one too... Anywayz, was minding my own business when she had to speak in that husky, rusty voice of hers to her 'fren'.. "Eh you know ah, once upon a time there was this fuc*ker who gaduh with R*** and find fault with me.. Irritaitng sia... blah blah blah blah.. Yak yak yak..". She also continued to brag about having a car, having a license, buying her 'fren' ORIGINAL designer products and what other unnecessary details of her life. Honestly, she really thinks she's so far off better than me. I was extremely disgusted but I managed to stay calm and sane. Then she had to make this unecessary statement (which i shall not mention). The ironic thing is whatever judgement she has on me can be implied to her as well. Eh pig wake up and smell the coffee lah... Don't think just bcoz ur b**bs are out there makes you any different from me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, the bad history between us happened like 8 years ago?! And porkchop started it all.. To think she had to recall the whole incident again.. She's a pest... I hate her 8 yrs ago and I hate her even more now. It's not in my nature to respond to unwanted comments. Especially to such childish behaviour.

I wa so lookin forward to the school hols but gradually realise it wasn't to be. I had to attend a briefing on this module called DPP2 on Tues and Wed. It was rather intensive. On Tue the briefing lasted from 9.30 am to 5 pm.. Yes ppl... believe it.. It was that long. And we had to do some role play sh**t for that whole 7.5 hrs. WTF... On Wed the lecture lasted only 3 hrs (thank god) from 9.30 to 12.30.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now from here now on you guys may think "Hey that ain't too bad. It was just a couple of days gone bad." Well I thought the same but then that Aussie lecturer of mine had a surprise for the class before he flies back downunder. He said, "Alrite class your task will be to write a 1000 word self-reflection on what you have experienced for the past 2 days." And oh yeah.. "It's due on the 12th of June". Just to remind y'all.. The whole month of May till mid-June is suppose to be the school hols. But that Colonel Sanders (KFC guy) look alike lecturer had to spoil it for me. Damn lah..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright moving on.. I'm left with roughly $300 of my Progress Package. Been eating out a lot and did shop for some clothes. I'm actually saving up for someone's birthday (ehem ehem.. You know who) and also preparing for GSS... Yeah.. It's all happening in June.. So hopefully can find more cheaper bargains then...

My first time voting ever. Don't know how I'm suppose to react to it though. Despite being busy studying, I did reserve a few minutes to listen to the news bout all this political ongoings. Well I feel that my vote counts and I do really need to know what I am actually voting for. Watched the rallies of all parties to see what each had to say. It's damn intense.. Hmm.. But I have made my decision... HeHe but cannot tell lah.. My vote is secret.. Cheh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But after all this voting is done, I'm goin to enjoy myself. YES!! Go shopping!!! My dad allowed me to drive his car the whole day tomorrow.. How cool is that?!! Ah... Nothing beats driving... Hope tomorrow's gonna be good to me. I need to kick back and relax man...

You'll never know when u need it, so got to save a portion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the saying goes, "With big money comes big dilemma".. Ok that's what I always say. I've got a to-buy list that's, god knows how long and I have no idea what I should buy first. First there's the clothes that I've been eyeing on than there's the ipod... and then there's Fish n Co... Mmm...hungry.. So which should come first and which should i just leave out? Only time will tell  so watch out for this space.. I'll be updating on the 'had-bought' list..

Bump into an old friend yesterday at Tampines mrt and we hanged out for awhile. We talked bout living our present lives now and what major changes have occured.  Through our conversation did I realise that nothing much has changed. Except for the fact that she's got a new partner; actually on 2nd thought that's not anything new by her standards.. HaHa...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sat at Starbucks and began to share problems we were currently facing. Sorry to hear bout her parent's ongoing messy divorce. She's strong though.. Ever prepared to step in defence for her mum. Well being the only child and having been brought up single-handedly by her mum since her primary school days guess it's only natural she reacts in that manner. She shared with me her ambitions and her views on life... good to hear she knows her direction in life and most importantly... her priorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But bad habits die hard. HeHe.. She's damn talkative and still as horny as ever... HeHe tat silly bugger. But that's what i like.. She never makes me feel awkward despite rarely keping in contact. She's cool... I like! I can see she enjoys our conversations too and just bumping into her acts as a reminder that I do have friends. For recall purposes.. I have had a lot of bad experiences with making friends such that I can't be bothered to socialise nowadays. But this friend of mine... I hope our friendship remains as how it is now buddy.

I'm still trying to swallow the pressure.. hopin that I won't blow into extreme exhaustion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life's been good actually (putting aside all those projects in mind!). I'm really trying to enjoy what's left of my school years before surrendering myself to the workforce permanently. I'm in my senior year now and time's ticking by fast. I've plans to further my studies still. Either getting a graduate diploma or goin for my Masters. But I've to put a hold on those plans coz these courses ain't cheap! So I've decided to work for 3 years before studying on a part-time basis. My parents seemed agreeable with my plan so I'll just stick to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WORK! I dread it but I need cash too! Living in Singapore ain't cheap! The worrying thing is I've not plan my career path just yet. Don't really know what I wanna do. How??! Well enough of all this future talk... Back to the present... I wanna go to Bangkok!!! Anyone wanna go? Never been there before but my mates called the place as pirated goods heaven... HeHe... All you'll ever do is shop shop and shop... Well I want to experience it too... Hopefully I'll get to go this coming June holidays... Suria!!! Go with ME!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alrite peepz....

Life's real good here and truthfully I can't imagine living anywhere else.. The beaches, shopping malls, themeparks, chalets, etc.... So when U offered me to show the west coast, I thought well how better to re-emphasize that living in the east rocks!

Nice place... It was shaped like a hut and the toilet had an outdoor cum resort concept. It was real nice. The playground area reminded me of Pasir Ris park and I have to say I liked the 'foresty' feel as we were surrounded by huge trees. Took a couple of pics with the greens there.. One dissappointing thing though, there's no beach... The area was covered due to construction works.. All in all, the place OKlah but not as great as east coast. But with the recent plans of the govt to upgrade East Coast Park, I think the concept might be similar to the west coast... &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/1600/0211_120328.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/200/0211_120328.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoyed meeting U and still am laughing bout the silly things we did yesterday...

Got class tomorow in the morning but looking forward to it. After almost a year and 2 months in SIM, I've finally met a lecturer whose lecture is worth coming for. Ethics and governance is the subject and how interesting he can make the lesson to be. 3 hrs seemed to be cut short to only and hour. You can actually see his passion when he's trying to put across an important message. His humour and real life experiences are the many things that we, as a whole class of 80 ppl, can relate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's for tomorow. This past few days, I've been busy trying to recover from one illness to another. It all began with runny nose and fever then when that's over, came in the throat bug... which then escalated to hardcore coughing. The weather hasn't helped.. It can be real hot in the morning and noon then windy and rainy in the evening. Courtesy of living near the equator... The humidity is relentless...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well this post turns out to be pointless... Just trying to ease my boredom.. till the next post...

My Saturday.... gone... just like tat... otherwise all else is satisfactory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently had a class chalet. It was on a school week mind you! We had 3 straight days without class so we figured... Wat the Heck... It turned out to be an ok ok occassion where I think I've gained at least 2 kilos!!! The spread was delightful... We had barbarian sized drumsticks (I bought them!!), spicy sotongs, otah, sweet potatos and some other stuff. Kym, the marinating guru, dished out most of the goodies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spent da evening with U.... Had quality time at Starbucks over a grande caramel frap (wat else?!!) and choco cake. I just have this thing with Starbucks. Was surprise when they served my drink in a tall mug instead of that plastic cup we've all been so use to. "Cutting on prices.. save resource costs..."

Many are in the festive mood and I can say I am in it too. I've been reflecting back on how this year has been for me. The good the bad the ugly. It's been hectic but amidst of it all, I'm glad that come approaching the end of 2005, December by far has been a great month for myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/1600/DSCN0410.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="132" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3950/477/320/DSCN0410.jpg" width="185" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Recently, I got the glorious opportunity to celebreate our 5 years anniversary in KL. It was such a wonderful experience. Not only was it our 1st experience of travelling w/o parents supervision but we got to share it with each other. The experience is a memory that will be stored within me for a lifetime. Hmm... still remembered the dread I felt when the trip came to an end...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, we met and it was one of the 'funnest' outing that we've had in a long while. I wasn't in any of my shi**y moods, joked all day, lasting smiles.... in one word it was FANTASTIC... Never had I been filled with much content as you had to leave for home. The day was just great...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am a bit dissappointed that we won't get to spend the last day of 2005 together but it's ok. To all... Enjoy urselves during this festive period and have urselves a great new year! :X&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-113548694362516580?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/113548694362516580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=113548694362516580' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/113548694362516580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/113548694362516580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2005/12/hols-2005.html' title='HoLS 2005'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-113367536464225358</id><published>2005-12-04T13:49:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-12-04T13:49:24.693+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Photobucket</title><content type='html'>This is a test post from &lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/"&gt;Photobucket.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-113367536464225358?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/113367536464225358/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=113367536464225358' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/113367536464225358'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/113367536464225358'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2005/12/photobucket.html' title='Photobucket'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-113177467355173652</id><published>2005-11-12T13:40:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-11-12T13:51:13.560+08:00</updated><title type='text'>FinaLLy FrEE</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;FinaLLy FrEE&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Examz OVER...

It's been a tough for us this past few weeks but I think we're almost home dry... When the next obstacle comes we'll just have to endure it k sweets... As long as there's US and the faith that we have, we'll be just fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No plans for the hols just yet though. Only to catch on my sleep and spending more time with U seems to be my current priorities. My parents have no plans to travel nor hold a chalet (it's too late anyways to do bookings).

I drained every ounce of energy, focus and sleep to study both papers, in fact all 3, and ended up forgetting most that I've studied! DAMN! People say it's good to start early on revision... I did just tat but all the info seemed to vanish when I started to revise... That did not do justice to my blood pressure..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's paper.. I'm having an entire new approach to it. Meaning? I'm not goin to slog it out as I did for my previous 2 papers. No mood ar... Thought of goin to Starbucks to have my CARAMEL FRAP BUT NOOO I haven't finish covering up all the topics... BUT I'm goin to have it later this evening... Will be meeting my old pal Nur. She wants to go to Geylang coz she's not been there so far this year and this being the last year for the bazaar to be located at the same place of how many donkey years..?! It's gonna be gone... Geylang.... A nostalgic place for us Malays.. Time for it to experience modernization I guess...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So good luck to myself for today's paper....

I'm studying frantically.. Trying to finish watever topics I'm suppose to cover for today. Slept real late yesterday... Watched the Man Utd vs Lille match then sahur than slept till 11 am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the reason for tis post is to express my feelings for being unappreciated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok... I feel that I'm being unappreciated by U. Was reading your archives of blogs and noticed that there's NO ONE particular post bout me, U, us or our relationship. Shitty isn't it? Neither am I included on your lists of photos that you've put up online, except for a few pathetic ones on your 21st birthday. When I say pathetic..I mean real pathetic... Only a handful as compared to loads of others you've uploaded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, these things caught my eye after I read the blog of someone I know (who shall remain nameless). She met someone real special who she claims, changed her life thus the post was sort of to thank that person for being in her life. I was really touched by it. It's something so simple yet so endearing... In relationships, doing simple things like smsing msgs like 'Thinking of U' or posts like the abovementioned are also important as the likes of doing extravagant things like giving a bouquet of flowers or reservations to a candlelit dinner. I'm the sort of person who values this little little shows of affection and frankly... I'm not getting any.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think things will change as maybe that's just UR nature or maybe, I'm just askin to much...&lt;br /&gt;I don't even think that U'll be reading this coz it has been an extremely long while since you've last visited this blog of mine...

About US... Many questions fill my head and I'm becoming confuse...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When do you know that it is really over? When is the right time to let go? Are we taking THAT GUY issue a little bit too serious? And if so.. y? Currently, I feel that the relationship is hanging by a thread. I feel there is a need to confirm the outcome. I just feel that the situation is... Hmm... Trying to find the right word... 'tergantung'?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to say that in the 4 yrs plus that we've been together, this has been the TOUGHEST obstacle so far. Yet another question, is this another test or is it a sign for something else? Nothing can be said for sure but amidst all this confusion there has been only one constant... my feelings for you. No matter how shitty or confusing things have been, that will never change. Relationships are real difficult... Who said that couples can only survive on love is uttering rubbish. Much more has to be put into it to make it work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life after a relationship is a blur for me. I'm not sure what steps to take but I am confident that I'll survive. When the time comes, I hope and pray that things will get better.... :X&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-112781179099762981?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/112781179099762981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=112781179099762981' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/112781179099762981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/112781179099762981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2005/09/something-2-think-about.html' title='Something 2 Think About'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-112714315107750084</id><published>2005-09-19T23:08:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-09-19T23:19:11.083+08:00</updated><title type='text'>P.A.T.I.E.N.C.E</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;P.A.T.I.E.N.C.E&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm finding it increasingly difficult to remain in this state of patience.

And as a die-heart supporter, I have to say that it was RUBBISH! The team DID NOT play convincingly and the passes were just terrible. I respect Sir Alex and kudos to him for all that Man Utd have achieved but I am not a huge fan of the formation he's adopting... It being a 4-3-3... To be honest, we've been lucky to get away with 3wins and a draw playing in that formation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean look at Van Nistlerooy. He's the type of striker who can certainly score but with only with his front facing the goal and the ball just within his reach. Scholes has been quiet and hasn't shown his real potential BUT I blame the formation for that. We kept passing the ball sideways and made lots of unnecessary passes. Where's the beautiful one touch football we've been so used to playing in our previous seasons? Those unnecessary touches slows down our momentum thus allowing the other team to defend with 10 men!! And Wayne Rooney... He's brilliant but his idiotic act cost him a red card and an automatic 2 match suspension!! Damn! Heinze got injured.. I really hope it's just a knock but if it turns out more than that... There goes our Defence!! Gary, Wessie, Fortune all out injured and the next match are against those Scousers!! Arghh!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really hope Man Utd get their form back and most importantly their formation right. Or else we'll be left struggling for the rest of the season!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I'm down with flu... Not feelin too good. Took a nap for an hour then had to watch a poor match. I hope things get better soon... Right... gonna sleep now..

But I doubt so... so I shall try make the most of it... doin what?... hmm have to think deeper bout that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a more positive note... the fights.... the calamity... I'm happy to report, has subsided. I hope it stays that way for a long time to come. I SIMPLY HATE FIGHTS! Everything's settled, or thereabouts, but something still feels not right. Can't put a finger to it... It's just one of those irritating situations whereby you feel that something's wrong but you can't figure out what exactly it is!! Well..

But then I gave them an ultimatum.. "DIGICAM pon boleh ah...." with a slumber face.... HeHe.. Finally they kept quiet... Basically that means "CAN LAH..." HeHe..

It's been a long 4 years plus for us and we know each others deepest and darkest secrets. No one, and I mean NO ONE has gone the whole nine yards with me like you did. You've been the key figure in my life within this long period and i hope and pray that there'll be lots more to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have gone through a lot so why should we let whatever's happening get in our way? Whatever happens, we'll stick to one another as though our life depends on it! I'm here for you through the thickest and thinnest situations we get ourselves into and I promise that I'll be by your side at the end of it all. So U should shake off all those doubts and worries, pick yourself up and let us be what we've always been for the past 4 glorious years.... The utmost fabulous and gorgeous looking couple ALIVE!

Slack as in 'duduk relak one corner babe' kinda thing.. Well can't blame us... After an intensive 4 hr group discussion we ABSOULUTELY deserve it... HEHE...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far the 8 of us have been getting closer since the start of our very 1st sem. We've been karaoking (might have spelling error or no such word at all), going from cafe to cafe and driving around Singapore to find that eating place. It's been great. It's been a while, personally for me, to do such things. The conversations have been great. I really enjoy talking to them, it's as if we're on the same channel. I've had conversations in the past which were just plain boring and I'll end up being extremely uninterested. Well like I've said... everything's cool...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Social life may be fine but personal.... The wind of change has blown in that arena. From being able to meet each other regularly per week, we have to be content with only once a week. I understand the situation real well, don't get me wrong but I guess I'm still in the process of getting use to it. I know that we've been lacking of each other's attention but I think we have to depend heavily on phone calls. But I need you to understand that those phonecalls can't be made at 11pm onwards. I'll usually end up exhausted after a long day's school. I'd really appreciate it if you don't make me wait till late for your phonecall. Recently we weren't talking coz I've been really tired and turning in early so just wonder...DON"T YOU GET THE CUE ???.... :X&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-112328987638621997?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/112328987638621997/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=112328987638621997' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/112328987638621997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/112328987638621997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2005/08/whats-been-happening.html' title='What&apos;s Been Happening?'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-112141735629134242</id><published>2005-07-15T16:28:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-07-15T16:49:16.300+08:00</updated><title type='text'>BuMMer</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;BuMMer&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been feeling lousy since yesterday. No mood to talk to anyone or do anything. Like today, most parts I simply kept to myself and wasn't as social. The day went by fast though...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After class my schoolmates and I went out for lunch at Bukit Timah. Had chicken murtabak but it sucked. Felt that i was ripped off of my 5 bucks! Planned to go play pool but semmed like no one was in the mood, so all of us dispersed and went home. Everything seems to be going wrong for me. I hate my hair, hate my outfit that I wore today... basically I hate everything bout myself AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catched SIN CITY yesterday at Cineleisure. The storyline wasn't great but the visual effects were awesome. Most scenes were gruesome though... Not for the faint hearted I should say... The movie was in black and white with only 4 characters in colour, giving it that comic feel... Man, where do these producers get their ideas from? I mean at first I expected the visuals to be dull due to its old school outlook but while watching the show, it didn't bug me at all. I give the show a rating of 6.5 out of 10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever  happened yesterday was stupid. I guess I got pissed when you kept messaging me while I was watching the movie. It got worst when I thought you were in a rush to go home. I'm not pissed bout it anymore but still not in the mood to talk and meet..Y?? I don't have the answer to that... So if you don't mind... I'd like to be left alone... No questions please.... :X&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-112141735629134242?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/112141735629134242/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=112141735629134242' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/112141735629134242'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/112141735629134242'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2005/07/bummer.html' title='BuMMer'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-112047861663459043</id><published>2005-07-04T19:53:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-07-04T20:03:36.640+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The StarT of a New SemesTer</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;The StarT of a New SemesTer&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to school...

The Aussie lecturer talked too fast for my own liking.. But school was ok... Seem to be surrounded by new faces. Luckily my group members still around thus prevent the hassle of having to form a new group for upcoming assignments!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm at Bukit Batok right now... Waiting for Suria...

Over the years, time and time again I'm bound to lose that special someone because the relationship is seen as one that has 'NO FUTURE' in it. But who are you people to judge as feelings involved are more deeper than anyone could imagine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a confession to make... During our conversation, I cried silently both in my heart and out (tried my best to prevent those tears from falling). The coincidence of us feeling and worrying about the same thing recently was too much to bear. It's a surprise coming from you cause you're not one who thinks bout this kinda stuff. Now, it's gotten me frightened and worried. I am not prepared to face the oh so common heartbreak again. You may say we are worrying for nothing as it hasn't happen or they could be just mere coincidence but to me they could be signs, especially when these thoughts and feelings just come out of nowhere!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could be done to put us at ease? What could be done to make sure nothing happens? Why did this had to happen? So many questions with no answers. The only thing that can be done is to lead our lives as normal and take things as they come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm weak, it's true&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cause I'm afraid to know the answer&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do you want me too?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cause my heart keeps falling faster&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm weak, it's true&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm just scared to know the ending&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do you see me too?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do you even know you met me?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I've waited all my life to cross this line &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;To the only thing thats true&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;So I will not hide&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;It's time to try anything to be with you&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;All my life I've waited&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is true...... :X&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-111932565802190069?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/111932565802190069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=111932565802190069' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/111932565802190069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/111932565802190069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2005/06/damndest-thing.html' title='The Damndest Thing'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-111925404525980336</id><published>2005-06-20T15:41:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-20T15:54:05.323+08:00</updated><title type='text'>S.I.C.K</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;S.I.C.K&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arghh!!!

HEhe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glad that my friends whom I invited turned up. It was nice to see em all after so long. Michelle lost a lot of weight, Amy and Rahimah on the other hand looked the same. Nice to catch up on old times and keeping updated on what's new. An old friend from the past dropped by and that was great too! Thank you Michelle, Amy, Rahimah and Nur for making my day a special one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, the birthday girl Suria. A pity that most of her friends did not turn up. She was dissappointed but what can we do rite sweets.. dah tak nak datang tak boleh paksa.... Well a BIG THANK YOU for those who did turn up! You made Suria's day... Hmm a lesson learnt... The next time I'm going to hold such a gathering, it's gonna be a small one. It's very tiring you know, especially the preparation stage. Buying the stuff, preparing the food, carrying those stuff to the chalet! Damn, bloody tiring, but worth it to see that you're surrounded with happy faces. Holidays coming to a close soon...

Started with meeting Suria at cityhall for awhile. She had to perform at Westin Stamford hotel but was sick. Well if you like what you do... who cares bout being sick right?! She dance her heart out, but told me she did quite a few mistakes.. EXPECTED. She was dreamy when I met her for lunch. Must be due to being sick I guess, so Suria if you're reading this please remember to eat ur medicine! Need to be well before the chalet yeah!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right.... I then met my parents and other relatives at Mak's Place. It's a place my family and I dine in. Nice food at affordable price (affordable coz my father pays!!! HeHe). This time around my relatives were around as we celebrated my nenek's birthday. It was nice, especially since we've not had such gatherings for quite awhile.... The last time was Hari Raya 2004... We headed to Downtown East after dinner and had a blast. Cool man.... spreading the love yeah.. Nice bonding session I must say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a long since I bowled so was kinda rusty but warmed up soon enough. Ah well, the bowling wasn't important but seeing all of us having fun was a real kodak moment for me. I love em all... Thanx people for the great day...

I got nothing to update bout myself... Been spending most of my time bummin around at home.. So here's the story... Suria has been anxiously waiting for her DAE application result for god knows how long and in the end, it was unsuccessful. The irony... Anyways, she then got herself a temp job at Robinsons which was suppose to last for 8 days but cut short to 5 days. She just got the termination call yesterday.. Hmm.. I was with her and really felt for her.. You should have seen her face when she complained about how bad things were goin for her lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But eventually things got better... I remebered bout an upcoming performance she was suppose to participate in but couldn't due to her committments with Robinsons. So I brought it up and since she was free and she'll be paid for performing, she was exhilarated! HeHe... Her face lit up instantly!! Wah... I was the hero.... HeHe... Didn't know that could cheer her up big time?!! Well all turned out well I guess... I'm currently helping her out to look for a job..

I mean I find these people complaining at her tagboard really irritating but SHE has got to realise that she fell for someone else in the midst of a relationship. How can anyone not feel betrayed by that be it you're a hetero or homo?? And another thing, if she had wanted to turn straight, she shouldn't have to wait for the guy to take notice of her before deciding to take that step. She should have just done it before that. Instead, she chose to wait, hoping and praying, for the guy to take note of her and then she made THE decision and dumped her b... WTF... It's true, she did tell the b bout it but to know that you've been thinking about him, hoping to bump into him at school, all the while you're still attach is SO wrong!&lt;br /&gt;Well it's just my opinion anyway.

She wrote on her break ups between an ex mate of mine. But the post that caught my eye was a recent one. She declared her undying love to this guy (whom I got the shittiest of luck of getting to know). I was surprised to discover just how small this world can be. Well can't be blame though.. coz S'pore's real small.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok not wanting to digress, I pity my ex mate. She may have treated me like crap but I sympathize with her situation. I know just how it feels like... loving someone but on such uncertain grounds. Especially knowing it will not last... The irony... Well it's just part and parcel of such relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the guy, well let's just say that he is an arrogant piece of s**t. I dunno why but since the first day I got to know him, he is such a D**KHEAD. So of all guys in the world, this girl had to dump the ex mate for an Arse. To quote "it's just gotta be fate!" Damn, I am a constant reader of her blog and it is just hypocritical. Loving one B one moment.... With promises of everlonging devotion... then to LOVE a guy the next... Yeah she's been dating him less than a month and have used the L word!!!

Death toll is up to 125000 ( and still counting..) with property loss of up to billions of dollars.  Condolences to all victims of this tragedy. I watched CNA's coverage of the event and was almost driven to tears seeing mothers crying desperately to try wake their children up from their eternal slumber. I feel so helpless and I wish I could do more...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to end this post with a prayer. I hope the donations that we are making would be able to reach the victims safely.

I was lucky number 14 and had to call out all 14 peeps' names.....Bothersome icebreakers but so typically part and parcel in orientation sessions. How else would you warm up and get to know new people in your class?! But hasn't anyone come up with something new and original then your usual icebreaking activities like the abovementioned.... Oh yeah.. we also played the game 007 BANG.... I mean what the EFF?! I felt as if I was back in Sec 1 sia...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to meet my new mates.

New school, new chapter in my life and hopefully filled with many new achievements. I've written a few changes to be made 'onto' myself. Yeah... this including having to inculcate in reading self-improvement books, newspapers(the non-tabloid kind) and even try to keep longer hair (not that long though but much longer than my current length) . Slowly but surely I'm certain I 'll feel better bout myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, I shall enjoy my remaining vacation days by simply endulging myself in shopping and just simply RELAX....

My mind's filled with so many things to think about. Issues regarding my future, friendships, family and other relationships seem to pop into my head one after another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My goal is to be an extremely successful person both in work and play. But I'm nowhere there.... yet. Still waiting to be enrolled with SIM (RMIT Uni). I'm kinda depressed coz most of my mates are already workin and steady financially. Personal relationships and frienships are blooming and every other thing seems to be goin great for em'. When I look at myself though, it's the entire opposite. I've lost a lot of my friends through stupid squabbles and slacker being my occupation (for now at least).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've lost my faith in making new friends as my past experiences act as a warning. I loved my friends but rite now in their eyes I'm nothing but a backstabber and a hypocrite. To tell you the truth, I've no idea why they've accuse me of being so. To many, most people will believe that I'm a person who's nice to talk to, especially if you'd like to share ur problems with. I'm not one to start a fight, in fact I hate fights, but still when arguments arise I'm seen as the liar cum backstabber cum hypocrite. WHAT BULL*#@*!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fights that occured like 2-3 years ago are still fresh on their minds and till today, they seem not to have gotten over it. They're still around creatin trouble and still got the cheek to call me CHILDISH! YES FREAKIN CHILDISH!! Me... I have not contacted anyone of them since god knows when... and now I'm CHILDISH!!! Please ah.... Wats the use of their freakin brains? Even a dinosaur with a peanut size brain will retreat when defeated and never try to stir trouble again... I feel agitated everytime I think bout it but Suria's there to calm me down and always reminded me that I'm better off without hangin around with IDIOTS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bout my future, I'll work ever so hard to determine that my life won't be so bleak as i percept it to be. So to myself I'd like to say....

Hehe.. Yeah, itz been a long while since I've posted anything. Hadn't been busy really, just lazy. As most of you know, it's the fasting season and it's that time where i get doubly lazy then when I usually am. Not much to update also. I've been good these past few weeks. Been staying at home a lot (doin nothin!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm worried as my brain's starving for sustanace (tatz how u spell it?). I'm gettin light headed as I've been slacking this whole while. My brain's really rusty and I wonder what's gonna happen when I start school later in January....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well a hard push is what I need right now to get into active mood once again. I need naggings, constant reminders and a light spank to wake me up. You see, I'm as stubborn as I can be and irritation is the key to my success (whatever that means...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well thatz it then.... to my readers....

They played well and with Rio Ferdinand back from his 8 month band, we're beginning to look good in defence... FINALLY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My brother bought the game 'The SIMS 2' last week, and I've been busy with it ever since. So hooked am I that I've negelcted eating and sleeping. Even Suria's complaining that I've forgotten her existence as well! Sorry babe... itz just a phase which I'll eventually pass (i hope...*wink*). Well other than playin the game 24/7, I've been doing nothing really. Tatz bad news as i'm officially a slacker.... Yes ladies and gentlemen.. A SLACKER! I don't like being one really... Hope to get active at other things soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the good side of things, I've been exercising and lost 2 kilos... but still flunctuating (HahA).

Kept at the edge of my sit throughout the 90 mins. It got to a slow start with both teams tryin to settle down with their games but it gradually gathered momentum. Man U played good as they scored just before half time but the 2nd half was terrible! Defending was sloppy, players were giving away possession far to easily and poor crosses in the box. Mikael Sylvestre really needed a good whack on his head for his stupid blunders in defence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, Man Utd has loss twice, won once and drew twice. Sittin uncharastically in 10th place... I'm really pissed on their level  play. They've given nothin but average performances and the 9 point game with Arsenal really ticks me off. Can NO ONE stop Arsenal?! Must that be left to the other big guns like Man Utd, Chelsea, Newcastle, etc? If this continues to happen then the EPL is just a one way traffic for 1st position while other clubs play for the top 5 positions for qualifications to European footbal ( Champions League &amp; UEFA)....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man Utd have the capacity to perform better than they are now but despite the EPL being almost 5 weeks in it, the pressure is already on bcoz of Arsenal's winning run. The gap is increasing and it can get dangerous as we slip further away behind them. I wish to give a shout out to Man Utd to buck up asap and show the rest what we're really made off! All Man Utd fans out there.... Continue to give em your support as it goes a long way... :X&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-109495974027877901?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/109495974027877901/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=109495974027877901' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/109495974027877901'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/109495974027877901'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2004/09/bolton-2-man-utd-2.html' title='Bolton 2 Man Utd 2'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-109448021903817601</id><published>2004-09-06T21:43:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-09-06T22:16:59.040+08:00</updated><title type='text'>You Can Look At Me But Dun Judge Me!</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;You Can Look At Me But Dun Judge Me!&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm writing tis post amidst feelings of anger and frustration. Life being the person I am is difficult. I'm not able to enjoy my leisure time in peace as there are always gatecrashers around. What do I mean? I'll elaborate...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a person who most people call a cross dresser. Yes, I prefer the man's style of fashion. That explains my hairstyle as well. However, in society this kind of things are not easily accepted. Why u may ask? Bcoz such people are deemed as WEIRD. I'm connected to girls known as BU***ES and other pathetic terms as well. The saying 'Never Judge A Book By Its Cover' seems to be meaningless and empty. My presence within the public seems to humour a lot of people, especially guys. They seem to find me FUNNY thus the ridicules posed are endless. Guys would walk past and call out BU***... like no one else's business. What was I doin at that point of time.... Hmm let me think.... I think i was simply MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS!!! I'm like talkin to my friends or even enjoying my frappucino when THAT happened! Stares and laughter, finger pointing, whispers, gossiping through hp(tis happened recently....they were guys mind u!) and other absurd actions are what usually happens when I'm out there juz tryin to have a good time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can take the pressure but when my limits are due.... I'll flip! Am i one dumb shit of an ass to deserve such reactions? What did I ever do to others? I am a firm believer to the saying 'Never do to others what you don't want others to do to you'... so why does such things happen? I'm a person who minds my own business, vocal when I'm suppose to and also extremely patient. I don't wish harm unto others but why do they have towards me?

The highlights mainly on my new Sony Handycam and goin out takin videos, pics and what nots... But here's one happening worth mentioning...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was reading Suria's blog and blogs on her links and noticed an argument takin place. The tension is on the high. I can tell that Suria's really affected by it. What not... it invovles her ex, who would be the last person she needed to deal with rite now (I should know....). She told me bout how that one blog turned out to be one big mess and how these things shouldn't have started in the 1st place... blah..blah..blah.. Well I felt for her...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read the blog she was referring to. It wasn't a long one but I guess the link was the thing that triggered everyones' top off. You see, it's one thing to link with sumone u hardly knoe but it's another if you have no good things to say bout tat person! HeHe... U guessed it... A recipe for disaster! Well  that link caused not 1 but 4 parties to be affected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My motive of writing bout this incident is to remind you people out there and myself that every action has a reaction. You'd better think 2x before doin anything despite the action being sumtin small like the incident above. And never interfere with sumone else's business coz hey.... you got prblems of your own to deal with.... deal those 1st ( u must be top on ur priorities list, not others)....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right.... oh yeah, those involved should cut on their taunts coz itz not helpin...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers :X&lt;br /&gt;P.S: Suria hang in there.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-109418176937932670?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/109418176937932670/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=109418176937932670' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/109418176937932670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/109418176937932670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2004/09/interference.html' title='Interference...'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-109399640406482434</id><published>2004-09-01T07:22:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-09-04T22:38:26.556+08:00</updated><title type='text'>All HayL Da NeW ReD DEvIL!</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;All HayL Da NeW ReD DEvIL!&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glory Glory Man Utd!

And now it's official that the sensational 18 year old England international has become Man Utd's latest striker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This move will hopefully boost United's strikeforce as they lag 7 points behind leaders Arsenal and Chelsea.

I've been keeping my anger all to myself but I can't release it as the source of the pain are my parents. I strongly believe in respecting your elders thus make me hesitant to talk back. Anyways, the issue we argue bout is a rather SENSITIVE one...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what can I do? Right now I'm at a lost. Everything's not going right for me at the moment.

Had great fun in the kitchen. Suria came over to my crib to bring the kitchen down! Yeah, she cooked up a storm for me. She told me that she wanted to have a pre-birthday bash and decided what best than to faten me up....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Met her at 2.30 pm just now to buy ingredients needed for dishes she was gonna cook up. Reached home bout 20 min later and began her experiment. The menu for the day, baked egg macaroni and brownies!! I helped her by grating the cheese and some other easy stuff (cooking isn't one of my best forte if you'd like to know). Suria did all the hard work...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My grandma had a sneak peak on what we were doin and really enjoyed the 'FREE SMELLS' comin from the kitchen. She was impressed and had plenty of praises for Suria. I was impressed myself that the kitchen wasn't burn down...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a feast after all the hard work... The macaroni turned alright, despite it being a bit blend, otherwise.... DELISH... The brownie turned out GREAT... Still munching on it as I'm bloggin. Tomorow, I'll be treatin our amateur chef to SEOUL GARDEN. To thank her for all the effort put in. It's my 1st time havin someone special cook for me... THANK YOU SUE...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gonna catch the free ASHLEE SIMPSON concert tomorow too... She's smashin but a bit whiny like her sister.... Nevertheless, got to catch it.

Signed, sealed and delivered... I've graduated at last. I only slept for 3 hours+ coz a MAN UTD game was on. So you can imagine how puffy my eyes were when I went for the event!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wore an ALL BLACK outfit with matching black shoes. Felt more sleepy than nervous when I got on the stage. My parents took the day's off to attend my graduation (awwww....). They smiled the whole day. Said that they felt really proud of their 1st born child and other mushy stuff. The event was a drag though at 1st as too many important people making too many important speeches. But gettin on that stage was a wonderful thing... knowing that you've added one more to your personal list of accomplishments...tat ROCKS!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Took photos with my parents and buddies, shook hands with my classmates who did well, skipped reception and went to Tekkar Market to eat Nasi Briyani. Asked Suria to tag along and along with my parents, we window shopped at Sim Lim Square. Cool place filled with cool gadgets (for those expats out there, should check this place out...). Had my PS2 serviced and got to know tat the lens was spoiled!!! There goes my 150 bucks!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ended the day by me driving everyone home. Suria got her 1st taste of me driving. Shaky and a bit scary was what she described the drive home. Hehe... well gotta gimme a break, I'm just gettin the hang of it... Then I got the shock of my life when my dad told me he wanted to add more channels on our cable!!! HE ROCKS!!! Now more tv channel surfin for yours truly!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day's gettin by GREAT... Hope it stays that way :X&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-109230613999694252?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/109230613999694252/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=109230613999694252' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/109230613999694252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/109230613999694252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2004/08/graduation-day-class-2oo4.html' title='GraDUAtioN Day -*-claSS 2oo4'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614953.post-109203538663067819</id><published>2004-08-09T14:57:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-08-09T15:13:24.100+08:00</updated><title type='text'>HaPPY BirThday SingApore!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;HaPPY BirThday SingApore!!&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's National Day today... Singapore's 39th birthday and our beloved PM's last NDP. Let's rejoice and enjoy this day. I watched the PM's NDP speech yesterday and it was a touching one. I'm not into politics but his farewell to being the PM hits the spot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right... let's change the topic... Oh yeah juz wanna a give a shout out to Astri, who's 14th birthday is TODAE! Happy Birthday girl and may all your dreamz and wishes come true. Now I ain't got nothin to do... Just waiting as the clickety clock ticks by...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully goin out later with my family and have that bonding thing. I'm just bored outta my wits!! One thing that gets me goin so far is my mum's wonderful chicken wings! Yeah they are awesome!! But those just add on to the calories... Hey but what the heck...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess that's it for today. Nothing to share. I'll have more to share on the 12th as it's GRADUATION DAY. So wait for it. :X&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7614953-109203538663067819?l=dcshoekid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/feeds/109203538663067819/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7614953&amp;postID=109203538663067819' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/109203538663067819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7614953/posts/default/109203538663067819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dcshoekid.blogspot.com/2004/08/happy-birthday-singapore.html' title='HaPPY BirThday SingApore!!'/><author><name>TrAvIs 'BliNk' BaRkEr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00324539566141996539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/dcshoekid/ron3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
