Tired

listening to: Air Supply - Goodbye

hey all, guess that i had been posting on saturday for the past few weeks that i think i felt strange when posting this now haha. It's 11pm as on my computer clock, and in another hour time, it will be another day. Another day of blues for the rest of the week. Speaking of computer:

Photobucket

This is my new laptop @ work. My little white devil, the Acer Aspire 4920G. It's really a very sleek looking laptop and i did not regret spending about $1900 for it. It cost around $1700 and i paid abit more for the extended warranty from Best Denki. Speaking of Best Denki, well eventhough i did not regret buying this computer but i regretted buying from Best Denki. As posted before, i was told to collect this computer on tuesday, 20 May 2008. Due to work commitment, i only reached there about 1845hours. When i reached there, the sales person was not in sighted so i ended looking around for awhile. After like 5 minutes later, he appeared. I show him my invoice and told him about collecting it etc. The first thing he asked me is whether had anyone called me. I told him "No" and so he insisted that the stock had not arrived yet. But i continue to persist claiming his colleague told me the stock would arrived on that day, so he got no choice but to go in and check. And guess what, 5 minutes later he brought the laptop out from the stores. Well if i had persisted, i guess this laptop will be staying inside their storeroom. I think for this attitude is because that Best Denki's workers are all paid in commission, and since my laptop is not sold by this guy, he did not really want to serve me.

Saturday was the most stupidest day ever. I was told to report back to camp by 8am in the morning but in less than 2 hours, i was told to pack up and book out. Wasted my time as it could be spend more on sleeping, wasted my energy waking up and wasted my money on bus fare and the packet of breakfast.


Oh ya, Manchester United are the King of Europe again. They won the UEFA Champions League 07/08 on 6-5 Penalty shootout after a draw of 1-1 after Extra Time. It's a very fortunate "accident" and a cruel twist of fate for Chelsea. Cristiano Ronaldo missed the 3rd Man Utd penalty and John Terry missed in what could had been Chelsea winning goal. Of course, the television shown JT being inconsolable after the match but what to do, this is soccer and the ball is round, anything could had happened. I think i had made my mind known long time ago and i should post it out again here. A team that got successful because of money is not deserving of any trophies. Success should be bought with hard work and a little bit of luck. Anyway,

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED

With this, signed out!!!

Saturday Guy

*Listening to: Duffy - Mercy


Haha i had officially become a saturday man now. If you had already noticed, my past few updates were all posted on a saturday. I just bought a new laptop today eventhough i must wait until the tuesday to recieved it because Best Denki had ran out of the stock. But i think it should worth the wait. It's a Acer Aspire 4920G

Model: Aspire 4290G-602G25MN
OS: Microsoft Vista Home Premium
Mobo: Intel DC2 T7500 (2.2Ghz, 800Mhz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache) Intel 965 Express Chipset
Memory: 3GB DDR2 RAM
Display: 14.1" XWGA Acer Crystalbrite TFT LCD, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400XT 1GB
Storage: 250GB HDD, DVD-Super Multi Layer drive (DVD+/-RW)

and it only weighed 2.68kg when placed with battery compared to my current laptop which weighed almost 5kg i think. Remember the days i got to carry the laptop up and down the stairs in school haha. Well it really makes me feel that i really wanted to go back to school.

I think that's about all i'm going to post for now because Portsmouth vs Cardiff FA Cup Final is coming up soon. Also before i end this, I would like everyone here to keep their prayers in their heart for the victims of the Myammar's Cyclone and China's earthquake. Pray that for the dead could find their way and peace for their soul and for the survivors to have the courage to keep on living.

Bye.

Another Saturday

*Listening to: 周杰伦 - 彩虹

Hi again, finally find some time to update this blog abit. Ever since the last update, i had returned to camp. The feeling when i walked through the main gate was really negative. Like i had mentioned earlier, I had been living a highly "unusual" life for the past 2 weeks and to go back to the old lifestyles really needs time to re-adapt.

Left with only 7 months of my service to my nation, i think it's really time to plan what I'm going to do after that. My top priority is studies. I think i'm lagging behind in this aspect. But most likely I'm going to find a part-time job and also study part-time as well.

I walked into a 7-11 just now and was surprised to see this on sale in Singapore.

"Mai Xiang Milk Tea" was the taste i drink every morning in Taiwan. Drinking the drink was very nostalgia and makes me miss Taiwan more than ever. With this, I'm really serious in saving up $$$ to go to Taiwan at the end of the year.

Also recently on MSN, Wai Kit told me that his enlistment is coming on 9th July 2008 to BMTC 2. I hoped i can accompany him there as he did when i was enlisted on 18 Dec 2006. NO FEAR bro!!! BMTC life will be much better and probably the best in your whole NS Life.

Back From Taiwan

sHi all. I'm back from Taiwan for a few days already but i do loved to apologised for the lack of updates after i came back. Basically is because i'm i need these time to recuperate from the trip exhaustion. Alot of things happened in Taiwan, both pleasant and unpleasant but pleasant memories outweighed the negative ones. What happened there can really be written into a storybook/novel haha.

From this trip, those that i know before i got to know them better. Of course, had been new friends and friends turned enemies too and also made new enemies. No mentioning of names as their names will tainted my pleasant blog here. I really want to return to Taiwan soon because i really like there. I like there so much that i'm already planning a holiday trip down after I ORD this December. If really can, I would really loved to go down to 高雄 to look for a girl named 林玲卉。 She is working at one of the shop at 新崛江 called Hip Hop Blog. Given her my msn both emails contact but hopefully she added me soon. I really loved to chat up with her. She told me that she might be interested to visit Singapore, if so... I'll be glad to play host to her. HAHA.

Time in Taiwan especially the last day in Taipei was really insufficient. We did not even managed to visit Shilin Night Market due to only given like 6-7 hours. We ended up at Xi Men Ting. It's a really cool place, this really shown me that Orchard Road is really small compared to other countries shopping district. Xi Men Ting is on my agenda to visit when i go Taiwan again this coming December.

I think some of you might know it if you don't. I'm a self-professed Tee-shirt siao. HAHA below are the showcase of tee-shirts i bought recently.

Photobucket

A BAPE tee-shirt. It's the authentic one too. I think it cost me less than 2000NT. Can't remember the exact price but it's really a good buy considering BAPE cost around $80 and above in Singapore.

Photobucket

Ecko Berms. I got this berms because the berms i bought to there for whatsoever reason got torn. Got it for 980NT.

Photobucket

An unknown brand Black Tee. I got it because i kinda like the design and when i tried it, it really suit me. The sleeve falls in just nice. Got it for 680NT.
Photobucket

I got this shirt together with my Nike Dunk partly because was told by the salesgirl that she would give me further discount if sales goes above 2000NT. It cost 490NT if buy alone. It's an anvil brand if anyone knows what it is.
Photobucket

1 of the 2 shirts i got from Xi Men Ting. It's a BrickBear design. I tried the white colour variant of it but i felt black suits me better. It cost 590NT after discount.

Photobucket

My personal favourite out of all the shirts i got. Basically i really like the wording on it. "When childhood dies, it's corpses is called Adult". Also the first tee-shirt i got in Taiwan. It cost 780NT

Photobucket

A shirt i got from Dreamland Shopping Mall. The reason i got this shirt because of the obscene picture on it. I doubted i might be wearing it at least not without an outer jacket or something hahaha. It's also the most expensive tee-shirt i got @ 1080NT.

Photobucket

Poker design. I like this shirt because it's design is quite unique. It's a Japanese import and one of the shop most hottest selling item at the time. Cost me 780NT.

Photobucket

An original taiwanese design. Basically i felt that white suited the design quite well. It's also one of the newest shirt in the shop and it's on the cover page of one of the fashion magazine. Cost me 800NT.

Photobucket

"Made in Pirates". I got this shirt in the night market. It's the cheapest tee-shirt i got. Cost me only 300NT.

Photobucket

This shirt was not bought in Taiwan but in Far East Plaza. I had been eyeing this shirt even before i went to Taiwan so now i had the sense of satisfaction after i bought it. Cost me $35.

By the way, all the pictures are taken with Nokia N95. I broke the phone in Taiwan and was very sad for the rest of the trip. If i got it with me all the way, i guessed most probably I might be the happiest man on phone. Anyway, i got it fixed already and will take extra care of it now.

Anyway, i will be signing off now as i'm going back to watch Gundam 00. I'm trying to chiong finish season 1 of it before my breaks over. Will be returning to Camp on monday. Now sure why but really felt that it's not really the same again on monday despite going back to "normal life" after what happened during the past 2 months - Taiwan Exercise and Ops Vigilant Lion. I guessed i must resettle back to my "normal life" from monday onwards. Bye Bye, will blog again once i have the time.
