The End of Eras

Its been eons since I last posted, and sad to say, the only trigger for a need for some written discourse was actually pure boredom on a very empty Saturday morning.
Bank account is quite empty you see, hence the self imprisonment at home.

As time progresses,
there are changes slowly impacting my life.
Benign?
No.

One Man Again

I was joined in recent months in my weekly volleyball games, by my seniors of BP sec. Before that, I was a lone ranger in a very foreign environment. I played in a team with people, yes, never truly felt that way though. Fortunately I made a recommendation to the boss which saw the likes of YY, Shawn, Gavin, Teck Liang, Sim and Erin taking up jobs that will ultimately encourage them to play with me and by me, and suddenly, it was easier to enjoy every game I played.

You guys have been a great inspiration in court, a certain motivation and a bunch of very good friends.

And now that they are packing and off to higher education, they leave me at where I just started. 
All the best guys! =)

But the real blow will truly come when Mr Peh departs, I never wanna see that happen but it inevitable that he does, but he told us before, in the front seat of his car, that there will be other things to look forward to in life; that we should always be optimistic and anticipate the window that opens when another one shuts.

Hopefully the window will shut only after my ORD, what I am to do do without volleyball at night on weekdays!?

Elementary Woes

Receiving my Japanese test results presented me a tough choice,
shall it be Intermmediate 1?

Money wasnt the problem, commitmment was.

I will have to sit through another 8 lessons, with a whole new class of promoted elementary 2 students, and adapt to a more difficult set of lesson materials.

Scary shit.

Not to mention a different sensei.
I am not shy, I am just worried that I will understand the first word coming out from her rapid fire mouth after she finsishes reading aloud the entire passage of the textbook page.

I'll have to make a deicision fast though, the next batch of Intemmediate 1 lessons will kick off August 2nd.
Thats not a lot of days left.




Wanted to type more but, WHERE GOT TIME?!?!?!

Thanks alot for reading though.

The world has forgotten.

Strange, strange, strange.
The world has been abuzz with some pretty bewildering news lately, if not downright funny.
Gosh, even the tragic news appears hilarious.
Not sure what I'am referring to?
Then you gotta check out this excerpt.

"Police are hoping an autopsy will explain what caused a man to slump over in his chair and die while watching a screening of “The Twilight sage: ECLIPSE at a Wellington cinema."

Did you read that?
Someone actually passed away in a cinema watching Twilight?!?!
Guess Edward really did suck the life of someone then.
Poor thing.

Even better, while browsing facebook just few moments ago,
I came across this study that produced some startling conclusions about the apparent health benefits of ogling at women's breasts.

" A rather bizarre study carried out by German researchers suggests that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy. According to Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist and author of the study, gawking at women’s breasts is a healthy practice, almost at par with an intense exercise regime, that prolongs the lifespan of a man by five years. She added, "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out." The researchers declared that sexual desire gives rise to better blood circulation that signifies an overall improved health."

Whoa whoa hold on a second.
Do you mean just the presence of that girl-standing-in-the-train can possibly be the panacea for YOUR unhealthly lifestyle?
Is she the one to replace your treadmill and all your fitness workouts?
If it is,
I'am so totally going for it man.

Come on guys,
lets face it.
this HAS to be a cause for a celebration!
How can you ever find

In fact, we need to create an instruction manual.

Prototype 1:

Lee's guide to YOUR fantasy workout!

Before embarking on this magical journey,
it is important to note the safety precautions for it, as it is for every fitness activity.
There are numerous things that needs to be highlighted.
Extra caution is needed before undertaking this fun but potentially hazardous workout, especially for these personnel.

1) You're married.
2) You exercise with your girlfriend.
3) Your mum is watching.

In these rare situations,
dunt ruin your life.
Go to the gym instead.


Step 1:
Measure your resting heart rate (RHR) by placing your thumb sligthly in between your neck and your throat.
Record accordingly.

Step 2:
Stare at the photo below.
Repeat step 2 until you feel a tingling sensation.
           






















Step 3: Record your heartrate after 15 minutes of intense staring.
            Caution: Never ever allow your eyes to stray. You must be focused to achieve great things.
            This could lead to either of the following results.

Result 1: A significant improvement in heartrate. (Approximately 150 beats per minute)

What does it mean:
Congratulations! You're a natural at this! Plan carefully and your blood circulation will be perfect!
You'll be so healthy, you'll never have to worry about having a cardiac arrest for the rest of your lifetime!
However, if you ever feel necessary to change the image you're staring at, you are absolutely entitled to!
Over time, you may find it mandatory to look at living specimens.
Please go ahead.
No one is stopping you.
But bear something in mind.
If it is not an image, dun try to touch it.
Do that, and you'll have to make an appointment with a lawyer.
For more informaton, please check out "Lee's instruction manual for hiring the best...."

Result 2: Only a slight improvement in heart rate

Proposed solutions

1) Okay. The key, is to be specific. Pinpoint precision. Do not fret my friend. Scan through every pixel of the image carefully and determine for yourself at which point does your heartrate starts to accelerate the fastest. Sooner or later, you'll feel it. Everywhere.

2) Perhaps the image is not large enough! Try using your pc to zoom into the picture from 100% to about 150%. Do not exceed the 200% limit. Remember, you cannot compromise the quality of the picture for size. It has to be as clear as possible.

3) Watch a video instead.

Result 3: A decrease in heart rate

What does it mean:

1) You are gay.
2)You are gay.
3) You are gay.
4) You are girl that thinks you are a guy.
5) You are an in between
(Tragic, my condolences)

Proposed solution (for 1-4):

1) Stare at this image instead.

My apologies for such a late entry.
Just like how some techno bug infiltrated the DBS system and rendered services unavailable for a number of hours, my Internet has apparently being afflicted with the same kind of illness as well.
Now, the ultimate joke is only I, of all people am unable to load my own blog perfectly.
The artwork design at the top is totally absent.
The only thing that allows me to make out my blog are the familiar posts in the equally recognisable grayish background.
Looks totally crude and ugly, especially when the widgets at the sidebar doesnt come out properly as well.
Along with that little problem, that was more frustrating than it was disruptive, I had to also deal with the conundrum of not being able to post despite already logged onto my account.
A double whammy. =(

But like all computer geniuses I managed to get round that problem somehow, so here I am again!

Before I start my post officially, I have to first rant about some misfortunes that happened to me today.

1) I was caught by the discipline head for inappropriate hair length.
   
     1.1)   It wasnt even long.

2) I ate lunch alone today because my colleagues forgot about me and went to the gym.
   
    2.1) They found it funny.

3) I found out that the free kopitiam card that was given to me was damaged when I attempted to top it up.
    
    3.1) It is brand new.

4) I got lost in Tan Tock Seng Hospital after trying to make my way to novena square using the internal     route.

   4.1) The signs didnt help.

So Clar, if you havent been blogging, just what were you up to during the weekends??

Ah, yes i was about getting to that.

Inception, the latest blockbuster to hit the big screens has lived up to its hype after all.
The movie reviews had awarded it the 5 star ratings had their decisions totally justified.
But a word of caution.
This film is not for the brainless. LOL
Highly sophisticated, it will probably have you picturing 4 scenes playing inside your head simultaneously as you crack your head over the current progress of the story in order to make sense of it all.

Weijian had his own reflections on his blog, and I share the same sentiments with him.
This movie absolutely deserves some musing over.

Who are we to declare that the world we are living in is absolute reality, when it is possible for us to feel the same concentration of realism in the dreams that our mind conjures when we are asleep?
Have we been decieved to believe that everything we observed with our five senses are genuine entities when they are in truth nothing more than a virtual environment?
Can life be after all, just a complicated simulation designed by some professional architect?
If so, that bring along more issues, like who is the architect?
The Almighty God?

Fascinating questions never meant to be answered.
Perhaps the only way to know for sure would be to....
yeap, die. LOL.
I wouldnt recommend that option though, in case you somehow 'found out' that it wasnt a dream.
HAHA.
You would have been OWNED.
=D

In the same week I went back to Anderson JC to collect my dumb A lvl cert during my lunch break between office hours!
AND BOY DID I HAVE THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE!

No, no, my results did not change one bit from what I saw last time.
(Even if it changed it was more likely to be a one of A to C)
But the crucial story was what happened in AJ itself!
All Ajcians would all remember that there exists a sweet auntie selling mango madness at one corner of the canteen. 
and when I appraoached her, boy was i surprised to know that she not only recognised me, but she also correctly identified me as the hungry little boy who bought from them chicken busheetas (spelling crisis) periodically between classes during my student years!
I was so happy i blew her a kiss!

-.-!

Nope i didnt do that of course.
I did however, buy from her a cup of mango madness and I i was in such a good mood that I even treated Joyce to another cup.

Next big shock came from auntie number 2!
The western food auntie!
Yes, she recognised me too and discreetly poured some extra sauce and plopped extra spagettti on my plate when I called for a plate of chicken chop!
hohoho.

I must be some auntie killer huh?!

Hey wait.
Thats not supposed to happen. @.@
Its wrong.
Enough about aunites in aj,
in the same week, I chanced upon a CD that my sis left lying around and managed to install the full Adobe series into my computer!
I was bored, so I kinda thought of learning how to operate and some simple and useful programmes such as Photoshop!

These are the results:
Before/After




  HAHAHAHA
  I'am so damn pro at this.

Before I begin this post I must announce that I am grieving over the loss of my smooth facial skin resulted from the lack of sleep every night due to the activities organized by this particular group called Fifa.
Now there are more mini volcanoes on my face than you can find dotting the Ring of Fire.
Boy, lucky for me this is only happening every 4 years.

Enough of soccer, you exclaim !!!

I can almost imagine Mr Goh Weijian flinging his arms to the air and groaning,

"I dunt know shyt about Rooney from Spain, Torres from Italy and Henry from Africa!
(But I know Alam Shah and Fandi from S League. heeehee)
And for goodness sake, will someone explain to me what the hell is an offside decision supposed to mean?!??"

Okay.
So we shall not have any soccer talk today.
(Very ironic since by the end of today's 64th match, the talk of the day will be soccer no doubt)
Hence, I decided to show a very cute Cat Video!
Truly a classic that will force you to mind your table manners after watching.




Did you see that?
Did you see that kitty just shovelling up its food using its very own cutlery and just go num num num?
It makes my dog look like a total retard!
(It is)

I'am still trying very hard to train it to take a bite out of Swu San when she comes to visit.
But damn, I guess she didnt look too delicious for Chubby anyway.
LOL
FAIL.

As for mu personal life....
lets just say that it has been a pain deciding between soccer, gyming, badminton during lunch breaks.
Hohoho.
Also.
I'am planning to finish the whole Dan Brown series by the end of the month too. (during office hours. HAHAHA)
If anyone of you were wishing for good novels to pass your time,
I can assure you that his works will provide you a riveting read until you flip the last page.
Most enigmatic.
Surprisingly intelligent.
And I simply love how he maps his gripping storyline onto myths and legends that were supposed to have died out quite long ago.
But he brought it to life, and retold history in way so realistically that you will have trouble distinguishing fact from fiction.
J.K Rowling made up everything she wrote.
But Dan Brown only made up half of his.
The other half came from the existing world.
and it produced an equally rich plot and a gripping storyline.
I give him a 5 star rating.

His titles include:
1) Da Vici Code
2) Digital Fortress
3) Deception Point
4) Angels and Demons
5) The lost Symbol

Okay, end of post.
Good day. =)
