333 : Three Threes

2010-03-14T19:06:00.002+08:00

Don't we all hate the term technical difficulties ? Its such a short, simple and easily understood excuse we call give when something f-ups. Ridiculous things that happened that i would like to share : 1. Server password lostIn brief: Somehow, unknowingly, i noobed. 2. The conventional rejection of thy disruptionIn brief: My boss fought with bigger boss, bigger boss condemns smaller employee. GG

332 : Gone

2010-02-05T18:48:00.002+08:00

Ok blogger is now going to pull the plug on their FTP service. I'm amidst the migration of this blog, and won't be updating in awhile while get the thing running on another service.

331 : Sinful

2010-01-31T21:03:00.000+08:00

-RANT AHEAD- I was just briefly looking thru my previous entries under THE AHMI LIFE, and i realised that how much happier i am today than i was 10-12 months ago. I won't say i've been through hell lots of shit, but i am certain i had my fair share of it. Since the 1st day of conscription, i keep thinking how i am going to be able to adapt to all the regimented nonsense that is to be become of

330 : Toothfairy

2010-01-29T13:59:00.000+08:00

The doc said i am gonna be in for some pain this season. And suddenly i just feel like watching this movie : Heh, if this is true, then i hope it will offset the cost of surgery and painkillers i need to take. Upon futher reading, i only realise only baby teeth can be exchanged for money. And the guy who came up with the mythical tooth fairy was probably very clever or was a kinder-garden

329 : Shoes

2010-01-25T22:35:00.000+08:00

Clockwise from top right, Lloyd's (2007), Adidas (2007), Crocs(2010), and Puma (2009). Insanity percentage proportionate to amount shoe blush. I'm gonna be so well equipped for this coming CNY celebrations. One shoe for each occasion. Weddings, beach party, shopping, water sports, buying lunch from a nearby kopitiam. Oh yes, grandma's gonna be so pleased = fatter ang pao = more shoes.

You know what they say, random : Interestingly i'm a communist on crack. The BMX has gone mad, and he's lashing out at any passer-bys without proper bearings and people who do not respond to his phone calls. He's calling emergency paratroopers and we're the ones eating the bullets for them. My sleep deprived friend is currently a proxy for the company meat bag, with the queen calming

327 : Enough

2010-01-19T00:36:00.000+08:00

A recent stunt by the shire's boss, henceforth known as BMX had left me baffled. To cut a tremendously long story short, he had decided to convert his "Mediterranean" hair style, otherwise known as 地中海, to a more jialat appearance known to some as HAGE (har-ghey), bald. Yes, he paid 5 bucks to shave off what little hair he had left on his sides, and now we all have come to acknowledge him in his

326 : Choices

2010-01-18T00:16:00.000+08:00

Seeing today's papers, and all the advertisements from polys, jcs, and even art colleges touting their various courses blah blah blah, one tend to be confused in the correct choice to make at this crossroad of their life. Looking back, i can't remember how i even picked archi as my course of choice as i had not started journalling/blogging to mark down the important events that happened. I think

325 : Intel

2010-01-03T21:56:00.000+08:00

Nothing like jump starting the year with a post on a not so chilly sunday night. November December was a pretty much slacking off period for myself, didn't do too much sketching either... I'm heading back to my 2nd home in about a few more minutes time, i can't wait to see the smiles on all those good hardworking people i came to be familiar with the past 1 year in my workplace. Hmm, instead of

2009-12-28T00:30:00.000+08:00

Its kurisumasu once again ! Here's a recap of what i did 1 year back too. Seems like POP was just a wink of an eye like yesterday. If you bothered to read last year's post of around this period of time, i was going to this particular somewhere to do this particular thing. At first, i thought oh shit, my life in the ahmi is gonna be so screwed, but hey, it didn't turn out as bad as i thought. So

2009-12-20T22:17:00.000+08:00

What a way to conclude the end of another 'off' period here in Sg. I've got so many friends/chiongsua buddies/ex-classmates going on holidays overseas, its actually pretty boring spending time at home. Of course, i could now officially declare Dec 2009 as the month of Modern Warfare 2. It was absolutely a total 'switch off' month where i just bo-chup about all the firefighting back at work, and

2009-11-28T10:15:00.000+08:00

What better way to spend another course break again than to prone, crouch, sprint away into the dense vegetation with an assault rifle constantly banging against your back. When in doubt, empty the magazine, that's what i had learnt over the past 2 weeks of training. Night training ain't as bad as i though it as it was used to be, just the weather getting hotter just a 'lil bit and gotta turn up

321 : Pentium2

2009-11-01T18:50:00.000+08:00

1. The ahmi had just rolled out something new, in which some of us had dubbed it as the fantastic Pentium2. I'm quite sure about other organisations out there investing tens of thousands of dollars in IT infrastructure, and safe to say, the ahmi had prolly spent a little of our tax payer's kaching as well. Now the question lies whether the money was well spent on something useful here... I see us

320 : Celebrations

2009-10-21T00:07:00.002+08:00

Nuuuuuuuu ! I'm officially 21 as of last week ! A big thanks to all friends and family who sms-ed me the wishes. If you did call and it did not get through, that's coz i switched off my phone, did not want the people back at work to ka chiao me (they called and sms-ed me anyways...). Its a busy period for many, that's why no party or what not for anyone, just had a simple dinner + lunch with my 2

319 : Open yon eyes !

2009-10-06T22:14:00.005+08:00

The current situation is as it is, battling mindless green man with my handy pocket ball point pen with rapid click action. Pretty grim, a good analogy would be playing left4dead 1P with only a pencil, nope, not even a pocket knife. How long can i last ?

318 : Disasterific

2009-09-26T23:14:00.002+08:00

I for one, got only a pair of hands. I'm not too sure if there's mutant out there who's lucky to have more hands than i have. The first week of 8 for this batch happened to be extremely understaffed and chaotic, up till the point when my boss, a man in his prime had to do a run down obstacles and fly through man-made ramps. That's something which will happen when half of the company takes leave/

2009-09-21T23:18:00.003+08:00

Ah, feels good to be blogging again after a short hiatus of 1 month... How's everybody ? Healthy ? Eating well ? Me ? Oh, i gotta say, it was a blast for these 5 weeks of nothingness, just relaxing, pushing aside my usual duties and just staying chilly.First it was ahmi open haus, practically went for it everyday with different people every single time. I even did duty on the last day, and i saw

316 : My Last Supper

2009-08-30T22:03:00.003+08:00

Blogger been's cocking up lately, my 1k word draft didnt manage to save while i was typing it during duty last week and the pc just died. Either that or the system in the ahmi knows i'm saying not-so-nice things about the whole deal. Thus, my hiatus for the past weeks....Some small things on my mind lately. Not particularly interesting though...1. I've hit 70kg for once, not too sure if its fats

315 : The Red Knot

2009-08-16T14:51:00.003+08:00

The other day one of my trainees approached me to apply for marriage leave. I smiled at him, and said "So, forgot to check clear eh ?". For someone who's at the same age as i am, and tieing the knot at such an early age, you gotta assume that something had gone wrong."Nope, we just decided it was time." He replied me firmly. I was honestly puzzled, "Huh, you mean no kids ?""Yeah.""Been dating

314 : Let's talk about something else, shall we ?

2009-08-04T22:25:00.002+08:00

-Managed to sneak back home for a quick hair cut at my favourite saloon today just before it closes.-Went to BJ for dinner, curry rice, yummy.-Shopped for new clothes, new shoes.-Bought extra rations/3-in-1 kopi to store in my cupboard.-Updated my ipod with 4hrs worth of erm... dramas.-Printed tabs of new songs (chicago blues) to play in kamp.-Read some online manga while installing my adobe

313 : POOF

2009-07-19T20:14:00.005+08:00

Yeah i know, don't even remind me...Been conciously telling myself to stay away from a computer, because at work, i'm just mindlessly typing and printing and fixing problems for everyone, sitting infront of a PC seems a bit phobic for me already... So been doing some other stuff using recycled paper from my office...Random Lady 1, Chinagraph on A4HL's girlfriend's passport sized photo, Pencil on

AHMI RANTS BELOW. RAOR (read at own risk)I like how time passes so quickly, you don't even have time to strike off the day box on my table calender. Yes, i have a table calender that comes free with those issues of men magazines with some pretty naughty pictures. One of my fellow buddies in the ahmi didn't want the calender even though he subscribes yearly for the magazines, because he "didn't

311 : 人多很

2009-07-05T00:04:00.002+08:00

They say that in the ahmi.... one would meet many types of people... and i can't bloody agree more.As a clark working in a training school who handles more than 500 different students every year, you get a nice variety of weirdos. 1 including myself of course.But for me as a permanent feature in my camp, i get to sleep in the same room with all the other unlucky people who runs the school. And

310 : Quick-time

2009-06-28T20:25:00.002+08:00

A quick summary of things which happened all too quickly.First up some design pointers i picked up while speed reading at a hon-ya.- Using materials as a design concept or engine to propel a project forward.- A 1 piece object vs a modular object- Homogeneous vs Combination- Function as a by-product of form- Sophistication is a very useful word.- Think multi layering, think kueh lapis.- Think ease

309 : Long time no see.

2009-06-21T00:07:00.005+08:00

EDIT : (230609 2204HRS)-I'VE PURCHASED THE TICKETS AT 9.50 BUCKS. EXACT CHANGE THANK YOU.-WE WILL SETTLE THIS AMOUNT ON THE DAY ITSELF WHEN WE MEET EYE TO EYE.-I'VE BOUGHT FOR YK (ME), KUAH, SIMMY, BR, SHORTY, GAYRY, PRAVIN (7 OF US)-WE SHALL HAVE DINNER AT A RESTAURANT IN WHICH I WILL DICTATE ON THE DAY ITSELF.-TENTATIVELY WE WILL MEET OUTSIDE STARBUCKS AT BUGIS JUNCTION AT 1800HRS.-DO NOT BE

308 : Carrot and the 100m long stick

2009-06-17T21:35:00.004+08:00

Recently i bought Dan brown's The Da Vinci Code for a friend as a birthday gift, because throughout the whole of this person's life he had never finished reading a single damn story book. At the fiction section corner i got another book for myself for the long hours in camp this week, Digital Fortress also by the same author.Its been 4 days of reading and i'm already halfway though the book.

307 : Oh no !

2009-06-14T15:28:00.003+08:00

I don't links and videos all too often, so this must be a must-watch. Endure the initial zao xia and turn on the captions. Someone give the lyric filler an award !"When in doubt or in sadness, SING !"I personally liked the no-one-to-high-five-with moment with the lady in the middle at 1:13."We are pro-workers OEI OEI ! We are pro-business OEI OEI !"

306 : Lipsticks

2009-06-11T12:10:00.003+08:00

So much to do so little time. Time, we all need time to do things, we also need energy and in a way we need sleep to regain that energy lost. And then there's food, food for the mind and the body.Looking at the new Sims 2 game, well, with old concept, and looking back at my own life.... haix, what a mouthful.My short short short 1 week block leave is soon reaching the end of its run. My 3 day

305 : A Sketch a Day

2009-06-06T23:17:00.002+08:00

Black chinagraph on fine grain paper, 149 x 210mmKai's private paper bag of miscellaneous scrap sketches. One night, it was freaking hot. I fell asleep on my comfy bed without turning on the ac or my fan.... but i dreamnt of this lady above. She was looking at me with eyes of untold sadness, as if telling me, hey dude life ain't too bad eh ? Lookee me, the worst for me was far from over, you

304 : How bleak can it get ?

2009-05-31T22:04:00.002+08:00

Maybe its just me, but i think it was too long of a time since i donned on contact lenses. My freaking astigmatism just went up again and now, everything's a blur. Since i need to work next week infront of my stinking 4 year old PC and type type type, i reckoned i should get some daily disposal ones. And yesterday i tested my new buy, and hmm, comfy and clear vision... i like it. After some work

303 : Conversion ?

2009-05-25T21:47:00.003+08:00

I'm grateful i won't be studying accountancy or business management. There's a gradual growing fear of spreadsheets and basically anything that's got to do with answering phones. Today's my precious 1 day off to go renew my passport at the Merleisure Ambassy. Here's a quick recap of what happened.-Woke up at 6am (as per normal on weekdays -.-' )-Took cab to at 645am to ambassy-Took queue number

302 : The Whimsical Green Elves

2009-05-15T18:55:00.001+08:00

They say change is good. Change force us to adapt to different environments. But i've been put into a whole lot of awful circumstances that i cannot say how or why or what. Its really sad.I've been away from here awhile because of all the silly admin work i need to do even though i get to go back every night. I've been recently occupied with learning how to do quick sketches and draw using my

301 : Clark

2009-05-04T21:26:00.003+08:00

And post 301 marks the beginning of my humble journey to become a measly little company clerk. It ain't 8-5 as most people would imagined and i do hope its kind of... lax. I'm not sure, today's my first day and i'm at home busily packing my things back into my bag again for the 3rd time this year while i brace myself for a brand new home.Let's have a quick recap :1. tehkong2. paiseh rubba sixpack

2009-05-01T23:10:00.003+08:00

On the usual days, you don't normally have a good story to share, here's one :I knew i will sure kenna the interview for my uni application. Well, AT LEAST there was still an interview in line for moi.Reality is, 3.43 just ain't gonna make the cut for anything =(With just 12 hours notice beforehand for the interview, i was already mentally prepared to sell myself like a telemarketer high on

299 : Round 2

2009-04-27T17:56:00.002+08:00

I don't think i'm eliminated again... its just i feel i didn't do too well in the test. Abstract i was in my drawings and the modeling part, i now i reap the fruits of of sins. haha lol.Here, we go... meet simple joe.何じゃこれ～！Of course the topic was "transcending identity". How the heck do we make a model of that. The drawing part was rather easier, you could express more with a pen and 'create'

298 : TIM(R) SUN

2009-04-25T21:46:00.002+08:00

The test is tomorrow and i am not one bit anxious at all. If i do get in, its bye-nara to my Australian prospect, but aloha to a fatter wallet. Pros and cons a plenty... would be cool to live off a friend overseas... haha. Alas, there's nothing like studying close to home (4 bus stops !) and living off your parents for another few more years. Ok i shall not delve deeper.I've been thinking a lot

297 : Rats

2009-04-22T22:03:00.004+08:00

Rats. Was i surprised to find my huge ali baba bag filled with cereal and milk powder all over the sides and even in the pockets. I looked closely and noticed this 5cm wide hole under my bag..... and it looked really like bite marks... of what i'm not sure... but you get the idea.Yes, rats bit through my leather-liked bag and chewed through another few layers of plastic, to find their (actually

296 : The Way Out ?

2009-04-18T11:09:00.002+08:00

It pays off sometimes to be a nice person everywhere we go, because you will never know especially in this tiny sunny island when you would actually bump into a fellow acquaintance, or someone you know... or not.Having myself tossed around like ping pong regarding my ahmi posting ( don't we all love TV dorama ), you get to know a lot of people; bad, evil, oscar-grade, fat, lazy, and the worst

295 : Knowing is better.

2009-04-09T20:05:00.005+08:00

One of the nicer movies i watched this whole month is probably the oscar winning japanese movie Departures or other wise known as Okuri-Bito. I'm not the drama mama type but this one certainly got my golden stamp of approval for goodness and the not so touchy wouchy but still teary scenes. But thats not the movie i would like to write about today.With a large influx of silly time travelling tales

294 : 14 hours

2009-04-03T23:15:00.002+08:00

6 points to note today.1.We try not to think too much about it, but the thought of going back to ahmi land keeps getting strongly as buku in as the clock ticks by. Ah heck. We half year grunts should be used to the meaningless tortures we go through inside, locking us up, whipping us with their nasty tongue, and at the end of the day dangling the off-pus book infront of us. Dang, they're damn

293 : Day off

2009-04-01T17:53:00.002+08:00

Spent my day off on something i had been procrastinating since last year.I finally got my portfolio site done with all my works from the past 2 years. Take a look ( click above !)Koped the template from somewhere off the net though. Lots of work still anyways... Have to buku-in later also, the sian-ness....I think i gonna remove my cbox permanently, the pop up ads are getting irritating doncha

292 : Stay out !

2009-03-29T00:24:00.004+08:00

No no, i'm not that lucky. My luck ran out since august 2006 and i'm living on my real abilities now. Been sent to Ohohsi lobby to watch over a room that watches other room that are pretty much not too important unless your surname is Teo.... It takes extreme talent to handle the extreme boredom and you will encounter in this endeavor, handling well over 3 CCTV cameras running on a limited supply

291 : Distractions

2009-03-21T23:20:00.002+08:00

They say a good sketch a day keeps they bad karma a way. I was wrong.Today was awfully a bad bad day in the ahmi. I guess, its pretty normal for most of us.

290 : Submissions = Stress

2009-03-18T20:21:00.002+08:00

Its clear. This society is littered with mindless, selfish, gutless liars. And today, it proved just that. I'd like to share a short story with everyone.There was a farmer named Tyke. He lived alone in a small and poor county 5 miles off the city center with his small farm of sheeps and chickens. Day by day, he took care of his beloved animals, feeding it and grooming them for one day they will

289 : Bending the Rules

2009-03-10T21:21:00.002+08:00

Rules are meant to be broken. With that said, I've successfully covered my backside. Ok, lets go.The bad thing about being sick, is well, not physically apt to do things that are too overwhelming. And the bad thing about being inside ahmi for HALF A YEAR already is that, your appetite increases, you get used to the usual exercises everyday. So usually you burn what you eat. When you're grounded

288 : ただめいしじゃねい～

2009-03-09T22:20:00.003+08:00

We're making a new name card! Well, thats the good news, finally. The bad news ( actually super good news ), is that its a weekday, and i'm once again sitting infront of my PC doing some proper work, which is wonderfully non-ahmi related.Was tasked last week to update and revamp my coy's fitness notice board, not that i'm a fitness instructor or what not, we're worms under the strict orders to

Our <<<#>>> is a real pain in the nostrills and he's like my childhood horror amplified 45x equipped with a rifle for a mouth. Worst off, he's dark like charcoal, burning on a innumerable scale of rage in eternity.....He's the epitome of garang-ness and the embodiment of pain. HE IS THE BANE OF THE OhOhSi kids.That's us, the child labourers of the ahmi. Instead of equipping us with guns, we're

286 : Ruthless

2009-03-01T18:15:00.002+08:00

Its been another long long long week in the ahmi, not that i want to emphasis the length of the sian-ness we kids get to experience inside... Haix....... And since i got plenty of time idling, i used that precious period of stoning to think about things.Yesterday's the last day of the application excercise. So lets say, lets JUST say ahmi is being abolished, with boys hitting the age 16.5 being

285 : New Lease of Unlife

2009-02-25T19:55:00.002+08:00

Its late no doubt. With the stale air from the crappy VRV unit blowing onto my face, i looked out of my window, and i see those graduants from ASL sheee strolling out from the faraway cookhouse, loved ones alongside.We finally had some rain (my PC said "wah tsunami" when he saw the storm) after a few days of extreme dryness. Ok not that extreme relative to the disaster that occured in melbourne.

284 : 殺害！

2009-02-22T19:36:00.003+08:00

I would like to bring some attention to this upcoming film on the 19th March 2009. Its the type of crazy comedy that blends music and the usual japanese madness to the big screen. I've watched animation adaption at a friend's place and i'm hooked. The theme is dark with erm... vulgarities being hurled around due to the "heavy death metal" nature of the band. I'm not gonna spoil anything here

283 : Phase 3 Ends

2009-02-21T21:19:00.004+08:00

First off, it was worst than i expected it to be. I was steering myself to be out of the shit was in by reporting sick. Reason ? Asthma. Its real, no ciaokeng here. For the 1st time ever in my life, i was put on IV drip with the ventolin and STEROIDS. I did not inquire too much why the extreme measures by the doctor, just really got freaked out when they poke the 16mm needle into my vein. Boy,

282 : Natural Selection

2009-02-16T22:46:00.002+08:00

I was on my way back from the clinic, walking along the streets of busy clementi central, simply looking at people. Well, i don't mean to stare at each and everyone, just trying to guess how each and everyone was thinking at that particular point in time.There's an awful lot of people here who just knocked off from work having their dinner. (must be thinking whether they can keep their job or not

13 weeks of basic tehkong madness.8 weeks of basic kohmander shiongness.13 MORE weeks of advance kohmander shiongess.many more weeks of tehkong sianness.Posted to infuntry school again, now is the advance part. Going to thailand in another 2 more months. All i can say now is, i'm not too happy with it and there's plenty of shit we need to go thru to get our <<< . I think this kind of sian-ness,

Which means i will be doing sai kang on that day=X. Posting results out this friday too, then sat is our ceremony and its sayonara.

2009-02-01T16:04:00.007+08:00

*Note, today's post is totally skippable.Ahmi has taught me many things so far. The most important lesson of them all is of course, in our terms, "suck thumb". When dealing with a situation which is being your grasp, or when shit happens, simply "suck thumb" and deal with it. No use whining and pondering and making a big fuss out of it.And there are times, you simply gotta switch off and embrace

278 : Save on Air Fare

2009-01-26T23:27:00.003+08:00

Before long, everything's gonna be like stah wars, 3D hologram transmission through your watch and instant communication from anywhere around the globe. Thats the good news. The bad news is, your long and my long varies.Due to the fact, as a twainee and we can't take overseas leave for nuts, i had to be confined within the boundary of my country, sucking my thumb (doing housework actually) while

277 : A Rare Lunar New Year

2009-01-25T18:35:00.002+08:00

Its been a great 2 days worth of slacking at home, and out of home with family/friends this festive season. Lots of good (expensive) food, fun and if i may add again, mindless slacking off without a worry.Was out with my poly-mates today for a mini reunion lunch, and when i reached home, i found this at my doorstep. This is all too good not to share with all to see.Note the miswritten 年. haha.I

Its late i'm sleepy, and i need to say something, so that i can sleep well tonight.There was this lady who was alighting with me on service 106 back home just now. And due to the massive amount of people alighting then ( and those NOT alighting, crowding at the exit door ), i might have stepped on her leg or something while evading some guys at the door. At this point of time, i must say i have

And so, the tua taos asked us to print out our own passport photos with a garang look ( not smiling ) and submit during our next return home trip. And due to the fact i am a man with little motivation to head down to some photography shop wearing my slime green attire, i decided to do it with a tripod, camera, PC, printer with photopaper and an empty wall at home ( rare, had to move some stuff

There's a lot of negativity brewing about me this week in my 2nd home. And based on experience, no ones likes reading about negativity and the writer would just gather up more negative thoughts and become more zombie-like, mindless aimless and drenched in self-pitiness. No good at all.Speaking of being zombie-like, i am currently feeling the transformation in me right now. Not exactly a baaad

I remembered about roughly 2 years ago, i had this exact same feeling of anxiety, guilt, fear and helplessness. Its mainly the helplessness feeling that annoys me the most.

Its hard to pick a topic when you're trying striking some conversations, especially in those boring situations where the really old people just keep talking and nagging and talking and nagging till eternity or when ... never mind too rude to write it down here.I used to always say, that we youngins got a canyon wide generation gap with the elderly and usually our parents.

I still remember i "koped" this piece of A3 paper from my studio neighbour when he wasn't looking.This was from last year, when i was still learning how to sketch ( properly ). Lots of meaningless cross-hatchings, lots of strange lines here and there, but still i dare say it shares the spatial experience quite well. Ah, school projects, how i missed them now...

The one who guess correctly gets a single piece of plingles sour cream and onion. Of course, if no one can get it right, it simply means, I CAN'T SKETCH FOR NUTS.
