It finally the end of projects, and in about a week or so, I'll be done and dusted with Poly life. 3 more papers to go, Intergrated Marketing Communications, Quality Management and Destination and Attraction management. Well, have got to start studying for them cos those 3 modules sure require lots of memorizing and memory work, especially for QM. As of yet I haven't started studying yet but I'll be going over to dear's house tomorrow to study, where I'm sure dear will discipline me to not be distracted by the many distractions there are available. I'll just be distracted by the one big distraction that is my dear!

Ok anyway, as I mentioned in the previous post, I'm going to write about people who insult other people online via games or malicious messages in tagboards. Its been a commonly debatable topic this, about how people "bully" others online. But honestly speaking, where is the honor and to a certain extent, sense of gratification in insulting others online? Actually I was thinking about this topic for quite some time now and it just so happens that the other day while playing a online game called DOTA, I was insulted by another player whom I don't know, don't wish to know and whom I'm sure will not wish to know me now.

So what's so good about insulting others online? If you ain't got the guts to say it to the person's face and can only insult them via a game, then I feel quite sorry for you cause you really are quite a sorry piece of madonna arsewipe. Me, I always treat a game as it is. A game. I don't really care if I win or I lose. It won't affect my life in ANY way at all. But for these people who treat it so seriously and have to resort to name calling, family curses and run of the mill insults, you might as well cut yourself out from the real world and marry your computer and your game. And not to be stereotypical or anything but from LAN shops, I have observed that the people who usually do these name callings are either ah-beng wannabes with their golden dyed hair, bad sense of dressing and their print on tatoos. The othe group of people who commonly indulge in such entertainment are geeks and nerds, who wear thick spectacles, have greasy gelled long hair, are quite pimply and hunch when they walk. They might also be either plump or very fat.

Yes, not so tough sounding in real life now eh? I suppose this is why they have to resort to such things. To immerse themselves in games, where in there they are kings and pros, looking down on and insulting on those they call noobs. Well, the sad reality is that those noobs actually have a life. They do not spend all their time on the computer playing games and "noobs" do go out to have fun, create havoc in the real world and to live life as it is. I'm pretty glad I am classified as a noob, thank you very much.

Anyway, on to other stuff now. Went to Crystal Jade for dinner today. First time eating there, went with dear and her family. Not too bad the food there, and I had to eat a "hakkao?". I'm not sure of the spelling. You know, the prawn thingy. Well, I don't like prawns but dear forced me to eat it, in exchange for her eating more vegetables. Not a bad exchange deal for me I suppose, since I want dear to be healthy and fit as a fiddle.

It is nice to dream of the future at times. Sure, it is not clear how things will actually work out yet, but the dream and the eventual goal which I am working towards is wonderful and I really want to make it happen. I'll have to work hard to get a stable income to raise a happy family with dear and to provide them with a comfortable and good life. That sentence there, basically sums up my main objective and goal to which I'm working hard to. Sure, you might say its early days to be thinking of such stuff but at least, with this in mind, I have a clearer direction in life, towards happiness for both dear and myself.

The dream will last till it becomes reality.

And long may that reality last.

Goodnight everybody!

Well, today's going to be a short post. Am at dear's house now, going to stay the night here.

Anyway, yesterday was valentine's day, spent the day with dear of course. Decided to put in a little extra effort and cook dinner cause everywhere else gonna be hell expensive. So what did I cook? Sheperd's pie. It's basically minced beef under mashed potato. For a first try, I must say that it isn't that bad. Not bad at all. Pretty much edible by my standards. Dear said it was ok, but she didn't eat much cause she didn't have much appetite. There's still some left though. Any takers?

Bought a Pierre Cardin wallet for dear, with a necklace from bits and pieces, accompanied with an impromptu note/letter which I wrote. Was meant to be a surprise and I actually managed to transfer all her cards and money and everything from her old wallet to the new one while she was napping. But you know what undone all the hard sneaking I had to do? A STRAW from Pastamania! You see, I hidden her new wallet in the bag but as she decided to look for a straw which she put in her bag(instead of asking me to get another straw from my house), she found the wallet and exposed my "surprise" totally. Oh well, at least she liked it.........I think.

Ok, suddenly I'm experiencing deja vu here as I'm typing this entry. Random. Well, I have been getting pretty random these few days. Alright to finalise this blog entry, it was a good valentine's day spent with dear. Really sweet and enjoyable day.

Hmm......I think I'm off to bed now. Till next time.

Ps. Next topic will be about people who game and insult others during gaming. Its been something I've been wanting to type it out for quite some time already but haven't got the inspiration yet.

PPS. PS I love you is a nice movie, especially when you're watching it with your special person.

Short post.

Ready for it?

Well, just wanted to post this random post to tell everyone that the dear I'm talking about in my past entries, the person whom is so special to me and now holds a very important place in my heart and plays a very important part in my life is JACINTA SOH.

Nothing to hide. She's just that wonderful. I wanna tell EVERYONE that we're together and loving it!

Can't stand this mushiness? Haha I'm sure many of you can't, especially those who are more used to my crass and sacarstic kind of writing style. Oh well, sometimes emotions and feelings just overflow and I just have to write it out here.

Normal service will resume shortly, I promise.

Its 12.24 am on my computer clock right now. So technically, what I'm writing now is a bedtime story. For who to read you might ask. Why, for you of course. But who is the "you" you're referring to NT? Ah, only the person concerned will know who.

Warning: Following first paragraph may be too mushy for your liking. Skip the last 2 sentences if you're suffering from diabetes or you just plain don't like mushy stuff.

Right then, on to business. So I spent today at Dear's house, helping her bake the cornflake cookies for CNY. I'm quite sure you know what cookies I'm talking about. The first batch of cookies were too buttery but from the 2nd batch onwards, I've been addicted to it and I can't stop eating it. Yes, I've also taken a container back home for me to gorge myself silly on it. Enjoyable day it was, helping dear with the cookies though I made a bit of a mess of the wrapper at times. But hey, I seldom help out in the kitchen and so I'm not very good with all this.

However, I do believe that if dear is gonna bake regularly(which I sincerely hope she does) then I'll just have to familiarize and equip myself with some basic skills so i'll be able to help her better. Why go through all that trouble? 1) She can bake delicious stuff which I love to delight my tastebuds with and 2) Its fun to bake with her and I enjoy helping her. From the crushing of the cornflakes to the arranging of the cornflake cookies(I know its simple tasks) to even the time we spend waiting for the cookies to bake, its simply magical every minute I spend with her. She might flare up or get upset and generally slightly cranky(like she did for awhile during baking) but I'll still want to hold her and I'm ever so reluctant everytime I have to let go of her. Such strong feelings are hard to come by for me and I know she can feel that I care for her even though I haven't said certain words yet.

A-hem, ok. I may have gotten abit mushy there but well, I attribute it to the movie which I just caught with dear on Friday(which incidentally marked our 2nd month). The movie title? Away From Her. Its only shown at the picturehouse and I would recommend that for those wanting a girly romance story or some action blockbuster or some horror movie, well you're be wanting to give this a miss. Picturehouses shows are seldom huge blockbusters but they usually are meaningful shows which allow one to delve into deeper thoughts about the realities of life. Away From Her is critically acclaimed by many and its not hard to see why. I'll not go into the storyline cause you can easily search for it on the net, so I'll just give my humble opinion of the show. Its a show worth catching honestly, though it may be slightly confusing at the start. Its demonstrates love and how some bonds and feelings are meant to last even though it is broken. Sounds confusing? Well, it is till you watch the show. You'll get what I mean.

For your reference, this is the synopsis and rating of the show. It got a freaking 95%!!!!

I'm still searching for some mahjong khakis cause I have to practice my mahjong or it may get rusty. I'm new to the game(what some of you might term as a newbie or a noob) and I'm afraid I might forget the rules if I don't play it for too long. However, playing with too experienced people will also just be a stairway to bankruptcy so I'm hoping to play with people who are not that good but yet do know how to play. Any takers anyone? Haha, its easy money to win from me you know.

Ok then, I'm quite tired already so I think the story ends here. Btw, Man Utd just drew with Sp*rs so that means Arsenal are back on top of the table where they rightfully belong. And I do not have lessons on Monday but I do have to attend a compulsory feedback session which will take just 15 minutes. A bit of a bother really. Alrighty then, I'm off to bed and so should you, cause the story ends here.

Goodnight all!


If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I could always give you
My heart will forever be your home
