It's quite easy to miss them!
This picture was taken at about 9 plus last night. I mean it is like so dangerous la. The company or the government body that is in-charge of getting these Indians or Bangladeshi workers better come up with better safety measures for them to paint the roads. It is so dark, and the road is sort of cornering…..it is really very easy for drivers not to notice them and just hit them down. And there goes a life. No doubt they were wearing luminous vest. But those vests that they were wearing are like so old that it is no longer luminous. Just imagine someone who is like a little tired or just not concentrating when driving…….(it happens so please don’t comment and say…if a person is driving he/she ought to do blah blah blah and blah…), the chance of hitting these people are super high. Or just imagine there is a kan chiong driver…and because he/she panicked at that moment, either
1) Step on the accelerator harder and hit both at one go.
2) Swerve the car to the left, hit the other car resulting in an accident and a jam.
Ok there are more combinations but I shan’t go on. Anyway…back to the topic…before someone gets killed…..either LTA or the contractor who employed these people to do the painting should review their procedures like NOW!
Saying by confucius
Well, Candy Ho…this is for you. Since you say where is the sign! You mean you really didnt see it. If you say yes to this question…then it really proves my point! Hahahaha….Anyway….sidetrack…..why do you think confucius is named confucius? I kept thinking about it the last sem. Is it because he has so may sayings that he is confused…..and hence the name confucius came about? Or is he trying to confuse everyone with his teachings? But then this teaching is not that confusing right. Ok….I am just talking rubbish here. And I KNOW IT!
Anyway…ever wondered why the see-saw is named see-saw? Is it because when they were sitting on it…and then right….it’s like….i see you…then when the thing goes down….then it becomes i saw you…and hence…they just named the bench like thing see-saw. I am just too lazy to goggle it. But my version makes sense also right…i mean like see – present tense. Saw – past tense. When was the last time you seen something named in this manner? Ok ….think about it.
Well…it seems like from this post and the previous post that everything is so gloomy and all…and like I am a depress kid….who only lets out my anger and sadness here. Ok…that is not true. I just chanced upon this video while on facebook….and I thought that it was quite touching. Watch it…and you will see how a really strong person….who really seems hopeless (if you were him), picking himself up and carrying on…despite the difficulties that he is faced with. Happy watching. Don’t hold back your tears…
And for those who have watched this before….I am so sorry. When it comes to utube video, as ZL says, I am three years behind. But this just goes to show how much life I have right…hahahaa……
Well, I know I have disappearered for quite some time. School has been really hectic, and…aiyo..so may things to do. And I am trying hard to understand my accounting. Actually I have time to blog….and like waste time online…but everytime I come to this page to blog…I just suddenly have no mood. Maybe wordpress should change their layout. Ok….I am just complaining for the sake of complaing….spastic.
Anyway…last sem, when I alighted at Pioneer MRT station…I will always come across this sign that reads like ‘ it doesnt matter how slow you go, as long as you dont stop.’ I may not get the exact wordings but you know what I mean. Last week, when I went running, I sort of understood this saying in greater detail in a very real way.
I haven’t been running for quite some time, and I kinda miss my body when I was in army. Oh well…complain again. So …ok…back to the topic of running…last week I went for a run, and I gave myself only 20 minutes to complete the one big round around my house. I think about 4 km or so. At the halfway mark, I took more than 10 minutes…and like during the 12th minute, I just wanted to stop…since I couldn’t make it. But I just remembered the words that I always see at the MRT station and I just carried on.
And to my surprise, I made it back in 19 mins 40 secs. And it just taught me a lesson to continue regardless of the situation…and somehow I may be surprised by the end result. Ok…maybe all these sounds like crap and nonsense to you guys reading it…but it means a lot to me. Ok…for those who understand….good for you. For those that don’t … erm…I also don’t know what to do. Maybe just wait for the next post to be more interesting. I will try my best!
I really don’t know what the hell is wrong with him. Behaving like a big black baby. I mean like hello, Taylor Swift won..so don’t be such a sore loser. Though..she isn’t really that good..but still. Don’t know what’s with these people recently…protesting on stage…on the tennis courts….just take Serena Williams as another example. Worst of all, he is not even in the running. So…I mean…hello…what is he thinking of. But I think the funny thing is…even Obama calls him a Jackass. We cannot really verify if Obama called him that, But I can certainly verify right now…right here…that he is indeed a JACKASS! Anyway…for your info…Jackass is a male donkey! So in my version…I just just say that he is just a dumb ass!
The evil card!
Well, as I was on my way to school, I saw some primary school kids walking to school, and it sort of brought back some nice and fond memories of my primary school days. And I was just reminded how I used to go to school with only $2. No more or no less in the sense that if I brought $2 on that particular day, I will just spend $2, and nothing more.
Looking back, I think it was really good that I didn’t have ATM or Visa cards like now. Cause like…I will just spend what I have, and I wont overspend. But now…one reason why my bank account keeps going down and down is due to the fact that when I see something that I want to eat or buy, I just go to the ATM Machine and withdraw, or I just pay by nets. Guess many of you have such habits…but oh well…maybe can start keeping our ATM cards at home…and then our bank account will just INCREASE!!!
So maybe from today, I shall just put how much I want to spend for the day, and I will stick by it. But still, I won’t dare to leave my ATM card at home. Don’t know why…but I think if I don’t bring it out…I will really feel insecure. But while writing this, I think the main reason why we don’t need ATM cards when we were younger is probably because our parents would always make sure our ‘MRT Cards’ have enough money….and we have enough money for the recess and blah blah blah. But fast forward 10 years, we are just too lazy to check the value of our Ezlink cards…the cash card…and the rest of the things we carry with us. So in short, I don’t know about you…But I just need to carry my ATM card with me….even though I don’t want to!

107-year-old Malaysian woman seeks 23rd hubby
A 107-year-old Malaysian woman says she is ready to marry for the 23rd time because she fears her current drug addict husband might leave her for a younger woman, a report said Monday.
Wook Kundor made headlines four years ago when she married Muhammad Noor Che Musa, a man 70 years her junior in northern Terengganu state, with pictures of the couple’s wedding splashed across regional newspapers.
But Wook is now looking for new love as she fears that Muhammad, 37, who is undergoing voluntary drug rehabilitation treatment in the capital Kuala Lumpur, will leave her once the programme ends, she told the Star newspaper.
“Lately, there is this kind of insecurity in me,” the paper quoted her as saying, showing a photograph of the smiling, wrinkled-faced centenarian wearing a Muslim headscarf.
“I realise that I am an aged woman. I don’t have the body nor am I a young woman who can attract anyone.”
“My intention to remarry is to fill my forlornness and nothing more than that,” she said, adding that she felt lonely without her husband by her side to celebrate the coming Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr next week.
Wook said she planned to visit Muhammad on the second day of Eid if her neighbours were willing to drive her to the capital.
Muhammad, who was a lodger in Wook’s house, had previously said it was “God’s will” that the couple fell in love.

Can u believe this? It is mad. I mean like..hello…the woman is old enough to be his great-grandmother…and here he is….already married to her? Ok…this is the math…..43 + 20 = 63 ( So can be mother)
63 + 20 = 83 ( Can be grandmother…)
And 83 + 20 = 103 ( I rest my case)
I really want to see how this person looks like. Either she has really like super duper a lot lot lot of money…or she has supernatural powers to make the guy marry her. I mean if like the lady is like 30 years older…I can still understand…maybe there is really love. But then right…SEVENTY YEARS apart….I think such news and such figures will easily give a lady in her 8Os a heart attack. I am amazed!
Let me go and find her wedding pictures..
Cannot find wedding picture..but there is a pic of her…
To me, having an online meeting is a waste of time. In year one, I had online meeting with my group…and one of the girl’s name was VANI! Nightmare and total disaster.
And in year two, when I had an online meeting with PL, it was a disaster as well. I guess groupmates who did the module with a boardroom meeting can relate to this.
And Now in my final sem, I had another online meeting, and again, not much success.
Well, this just leads me to conclude that online meetings are nothing but a waste of time. Cause even during meetings, people are not focused, or somehow they just type really slowly….or they just don’t know how to express themselves…or they are just waiting for someone to start to ball rolling…or maybe they are just afraid of making mistakes…or maybe they just didn’t prepare….or maybe they are chatting with their other friends…or maybe they are facebooking….or maybe they are eating their dinner….or maybe they are bathing….or maybe they are…….I mean there are so many possibilities…..and all leading to the failure of online meetings.
But someone….I can just imagine having a productive online meeting with the girls from Dunman High. I don’t know why….but I could just picture it like…being successful. Maybe I am just being bias…but….it seems to me as if it is possible. And I have worked with this girl called Xie Jia Yin….and I guess I communicated with her quite well during one of our online meetings and it was really productive. Like no nonsense…to the point….editing the final report…and all…. But well…that is the only positive experience I have with online meetings.
If only people were more focused. That would probably help us utilize and make good use of technology. If only online meetings were as effective as real life meeting.
Being fat is not sexy. I hate it. Being thin for a guy is also not sexy. I hate it
