Just Quit School and Play Poker

Be warned : There are no photos in this post just a lot of words. I simply felt like telling a story so for those who can't or find it really really strenuous to read the English language, please turn away now. This is not your place.

It all began a long long time ago when I picked up a book entitled, "Making Money Out Of Thin Air". It was then I got hooked on the idea of "making money" so I picked up another book after that entitled, "Think Lazy Grow Rich". That was when I was 16 and no I'm not making up these titles they really exist somewhere out there. And I specifically selected these books because of their very attractive titles.

In the present day, I find myself torn between many many contingency plans. First of which is the most rewarding, rewarding in the eyes of my family, my girlfriend and the rest of the world. This option requires me to complete my A level studies and advance to the next tier known as University. There is a catch however, as not any University will do, I must be accepted into a GOOD University. To all you teenagers out there who are just about to enroll into a University, I feel you. Good Uni, must get good grades, need lots of co-curricular, good life maturity, good track records and the works.

Bloody just ain't worth it is it?

Listen to me people, I'm going to work and toil and struggle in school so that I can be prepared to work, that is to work and toil and struggle. Man, that is a pretty sucky life in my opinion.

They talk of options, options where to work who wants me and what I can do for my future... UNDER someone else. I'll tell you this, I'm going to be that "someone else" and find other university graduates to work FOR me. Ah, so I'm giving them the options... works for me.! =P

OR the other more simpler way is this, when you teachers go emo on you, when life and school just seems so pointless sometimes, I did something, rather I create it. An Idea. Contingency plan C I call it. So lets say, after this year in High School, the Singapore Casino has probably been completed.

Yeah... sounds good I've just bought myself a book on poker, giving me good reads, tips and strategies. Hows about I forego all the pointless insanity I'd be facing in the next years to come and instead put my skill and intelligence into poker.

I'm sure I'd be enjoying myself, and making a little side money, or full time to be exact.

Honestly friends, school really is pointless in my opinion, I'm learning dag shit that I won't be using ever again. Poisson distribution? Oh please... Tell me, has anyone apart from me really thought this out? I'm growing closer and closer to contingency C everyday. And It always feels good. =P

Cheers people. Find your place in life.

Its good

Btw... Miri Kueh Tiaw is good man.

Come Again?

Alrights lets get started, its been a while now. I'm feeling bad, but I'm good again. Fluctuations are amazing... maybe its the music. F1 was really amazing tho, dramatic too =)

I keep telling myself, go home I gotta blog about this, and this... Oh hey! I gotta blog about that too thats really funny. SO I get home I sit down get a drink fry some kueh tiaw (this is explained later), switch on the TV and play FIRE EMBLEM. Baskit... So much for blogging. So much for better lifestyle after DotA.

Its really fun, tho after 3 days of playing that and nothing else, this thing called the diminishing marginal utility actually comes into play. Wow, Economics really applies to real life for once, Mr. Chan would be so proud.

Yeah anyway, after exams on Wednesday, it was around 9.30 I think we headed down to the local shopping complex withdraw some money pay rent, grabbed some food. Sick man sick, the usual store was closed, no duck rice for me no good food for everyone else. We ordered fried rice, ... tasted bland. Like bread, except bread tastes better. Then I got quail eggs. .. It cames in soup. Yes... Inside soup. God knows why... was more tasteless that water. Had a bit of fun cause it didn't come with forks or spoons so we dug em out with straws.

That was about two days back, yesterday went down to F1, qualifyers, you'd be mad not to go really, even if its just a walkabout its just about the only happening thing around singapore that provides entertainment. Seriously this place is sooo boring, but I make a life outta it. Gotta want everything don't we? =O

Dear old Nelson, yeah he was my last minute replacement for my sister whom I reserved the seat for a month ago, and to just tell me she didn't wanna come along cause today's the qualifyers and not the real race. Hey, a free ticket's a free ticket man. Nelson benefits.View looks really good from up here.


Thats where we were heading. Did I mention, we spent like, 10-20 minutes walking to this place from the "suggested" entrance? (idiots) Eventually we found it, on the other side of the track. Lols... that was really a wtf moment. Seriously. Walking 20 minutes just to find its on the other side of the track with 8-10 metre high fences? Not cool >.<

Nice shot isn't it?

A less nicer shot, took a few tries before I got the one above.

On the left is Wen, he came with me, and on the right its William who was taking photos of cars zooming past. He taught me how, and I decided to experiment.

The worst design ever. I dipped my foot in that little streak of water. Who builds a bridge with holes man seriously? O.o

The Singapore Esplanade. Its beautiful.

Which reminds me. People keep asking me why I don't update my blog. Its been like... 2-3 days? Man I see people who update their blogs everyday... It gets kinda repetitive. Daily life, thoughts, daily life, thoughts... hmmm.... no to all you who ask me no I refuse to be one of the people who blog about my everyday life. I decide how this becomes. =P

About three days ago, I also tried to do the following :
But the rest of the time, I sorta found a substitute to DotA, which I quit. Its called Fire Emblem, I'm really pissed caused I wasted like, three days playing that game. Victim of Nintendo.

Tho I did have some good times. My sister came up from my hometown Miri and brought me the famed Miri kueh tiaw(or however you spell it). Brings back good memories know? Its like, delicious food once again. The kueh tiaw and noodles and what not in singapore are horrible terrible and they taste like vegetables.

GOod Ol' Miri, frying them to heat up...

There are these large boats passing by where I live now. I happened to see one of them passing by when I grabbing a drink so I ran but it was really really fast man...

Here's a time when I tried to.... make something out of one day expired minced meat and mushroom and tomatoes. Hey, they were the only things I could find around. So what the heck I thought, I'll just throw everything into the frying pan and Voila! Food.

It always seems so easy when someone else does it, fry the beef first, okay... now fry the mushrooms then the tomatoes. Yeh, Pan was so full nothing fried, so I kept it there longer then it overfried, as you can see, it looks like.... mailto:$@%5E&@$... but trust me, it tasted much better than that.

On a side note, cause I REALLY need more free cash lying around + I love money + I'm greedy Ghiz, Ke An and I are thinking to start a little tuition on conversational English down here at the Carribean, I'm looking for ideas/suggestions/advice, any would be quite welcome =P.

Stay cool fellas, Its life, and its really tough, I've been through a few things but can't talk about everything here, just the best parts, and thats not even all of them cause I'm down with a flu right now. Like I said, life's tough and it takes its toll on you but thats just the reason why we don't die as easily neither. Cheers to Life ^^

When you wake up ever morning feeling grateful you're alive, thats when you're on the right track.

Days Back and Now

Yesterday I was just looking at the Best Singapore Blogs 2009, honestly... they suck. >.<

As I always say, my 3 year old embryo little brother (which obviously doesn't exist) can write a better blog than them. I'll keep this precise, I'm going to show Singapore what a blog really is. What a lifestyle is and what good photography is. Seriously... Oh yea, and insight into life does not mean a 3 page blog per day Singapore, no it doesn't mean that.

Time to be -educated- dearest Lion Country.

~~~Here we go ~~~

Two days back, remember I was eating dinner with Mom and Aunt Angie and Uncle Peter (My sister's Godparents) downtown, yeah. Its a really cool place.

Just makes me think, dayme, this lifestyle, is simply the exquisite best. I want it, I want it all. I'm greedy like that aren't I? Look at it this way, the food, the class, the service, the smell, yes it smells of rich and money. Thats what I like.

Of course my girlfriend's here with me, she's taking most of these photos. Thats me, with food I didn't eat.

Guess the fruit

I did not eat this, >.<

I did not eat this neither >.<

I might have taken one of these.

Oh... did I forget to mention the hotel name? =P

See, if only my house had a bar like this. I can picture it now, beside the sea/ocean, with glass windows and a balcony + pier that walks into the sea and a bar of this class with seats. . and a bartender of course... Dreams... its good to dream, the worst thing about dreams is not having one. Do you have a dream?

Trust me, the food in there, is good. Capital -G- o o d.

Me trying to learn to take pictures. I took this one myself. Pretty good in my opinion. ITS GOOD LAH... zzz >.<

Gf took this for me, she's a real talent ain't she.

Welcome to the Fullerton. Majestic..

Bloody mussels... for some reason they taste like water. No wait, more bitter. Whatever's more bitter than water, or tasteless, is bad. Bad bad biggie -B- a d

Beautiful

Beautiful too.

And so ends another day, a few days back. Oh I just got my wires back today, and the person to thank is right below! His name's Nelson, Gunawan, Big Boss Nelson. He's a great DotA player... the best teammate ever, saves your life at +/- 6hp, of course if its negative you're dead but thats okay, at least he tried yea? Thats what he says anyway.

Some time ago, we celebrated his birthday... starting off first picture, 6th April 2009 and me with a pineapple head. I miss that hair... felt really fluffy. Awww, Nelson looks so happy yea? Homie.

My dear Homie nelson on the left, after he got skewered by egg shells of doom(and the yolk) with flour and milk. Term : we "caked" him.

Before it all happened, beautiful candle on the palm.

How it was done.

I think this was the night before... his b-day..

My dear homie... crying in lots and lots of joy. Your Welcome brother.

Trip To Japan 7/9/09 + my imba friend

Up to this point, I'll tell you that this blog is very very irritating to work with. As such I'll cut it short with a pic my baby took of me, she's really good. Thats day 1 Tokyo Disneyland, still got DisneySea and 3 more days to go, keep in touch!

Just enjoy the pics =) Disneyland Tokyo.. is.. amazing

This is actually really... strange & cool.

Remember these guys!? Disney For Life.

Remnants of the pancake

Isn't that just cute? Its a pancake mind you.

My darling, at the airport

Mt. Fuji, need I say more?

Ok, must tell you about my imba friend. (Imbalanced) Means, overly powerful... like the hulk, he's imbalanced.

Like I said I didn't know how to arrange the photos +++ so I will make new trend and post words first then pics blah blah blah. So this guy name Julian A.K.A Juelze Crown came online. And that little SoB gave me and answer.

"You copy paste la!"

....

....

....

See all the pics up there? Racist I tell you... it works for him LOH, cannot work for me ONE... Shao Bao... Racist country... ~.~

Wicked Sick

Well its a fine a lovely day, ... thought its time to check on where I left off.

Oh yea, I was emo central there... things weren't going well gotta give a guy a break sometimes.

Anyway, as such is the principle of the Greediest of Greedy, I'm getting more out of life itself! Ok, lets take note, so I had some problems with deciding about which uni to go, now... I still don't know which uni to go.

Need to select a course, haven't done that.

Still haven't done that.

No.. not yet... I was thinking psychology y'know, get to understand everyone hope I can manipulate everyone... (p.s: no one supports this statement.)

So I met my mom last night... and we had dinner over at Fullerton Hotel, a good dinner once in a while really hits the spot.

And I haven't blogged about my Japan trip a week and a half ago.

Oh and I haven't blogged that I moved in with my gf! Wheee... its really interesting and fun. Enjoying every part of it.

And... I just realized I couldn't find the wires that connect my camera to my laptop. =.=

So then I thought hey, why not just place the pics AFTER my normal posts? So I'd have one written and one graphic. Yep, sounds like a good plan time to put it into action.

Reminisce

Yeps, The old carefree bulletproof B-hood, plus a few.

Missing the old days, Me on the right Juelze in the Centre and Mr. Tham on the left.

Do you know it feels, when something's coming and you really need to do well for it,

cause it partially defines your future, and to prove that yourself really can,
in the meantime you've got other issues, someone you treasure
is not really what you expect her to be at this moment in time,
and the mounting pressure beforehand, just disgusts me.

Then yeah, you do badly.
You don't wanna talk about it, you don't wanna think about it,
especially you don't wanna think about why you did badly,
cause you know... it was your fault.
As well as there were other's fault. Those whom know me knows

But I can't ever say that can I?

I can never say that. Shouldn't.

Man, what happened to the good old days when you could drive around in fast, expensive cars and act like Da boss because you partially are. And what happened when you couldn't care about anything and still be happy that you had it all. Zzz, I really want that life back. And if anyone really knows what this life is. You better want it too.

DotA is Truly Gone

Yes, to all you DotA players out there this is a testament that DotA has killed my life for the past 2 years and hence I am Getting rid of it.

ItS very Simple really. Takes only a few steps.

1st - Look for anthing folders that are labelled with War, Warcraft, War3, III, drugs and/or My Life.

2nd - Highlight them. Crtl works wonders. Yes I mean, highlight THEM, i'm sure you have more than one.

3rd - Press the delete button located on the top right hand corner of your keyboard. If you do not have one, right click the folders and select delete.

4th - Return to your desktop, explore the recycle bin. Here you will see the disease which is dota all locked up and ready to be trashed to kingdom come.

5th - Click empty recycle bin and print screen when ready.

Lastly - Repeat on your hard disks and all your teammate's computers.

I feel so much more energized after doing this, come join me and bask in the sun once again. I felt no regrets, you shouldn't neither. Though if you find yourself crying its okay, its all over now.
